Tho lion. John K. Ward, Spoakor of tlio House,
called that body to order at 11 o’clock. The
Journal of Wednesday, tho 21« t December last,
having boon road, Mr. Walker, of Richmond,
moved that tho Houao reconsider ao much of the
journul of that day aa rolatod to tho message of
t'lo Governor upon tho resolution to take a reooss.
The motion was carriod. Some discussion took
place as to whether it would require two-thirds of
K tho llouso to take up this matter—in which
Messrs. Reynolds und Walker participated. The
Speskor finally decided that it did not require
moro than a majority.
Mr. Smith, of Liberty, was opposod to tho reso
lution of Mr. Walker—to oxpungo all that part of
the Governor’s Mosaago, as reforred to the inexpe
diency of taking a rocess, and thought it was
giving too much time for uo purposo.
L, Mr. Walker said ho thought this body could
nover take up too rnuoh time in preserving its self
respect and independence. The Executive had,
In this instance, ondeavorod to make a little clap
trap capital for himself, by casting consure upon
tlio legislative department of tho Government.
Tho Governor had nothing whatever to do with
the adjournment of this body, and ho had shown
a consummate Ignorance of his constitutional
K duties in sending such a censorious document to
tho Gonoral Assembly.
Mr. Spoakor Ward ondeavored vory ably, as ho
always docs, to defend tlio Governor on tho
i ground that tho resolution was sont to him, and
it was only a proper caurtosy to allow his remarks
accompanying his signature to go out to tho
country upon the Journal. Tho only features in
I tlio apooc-h of Mr. Ward, wore his own profound
’ ability and knowledge of tho constitution, and
the exhibition of tho stolid iguoraneo of tho Ex
ecutive of tho State of his constitutional dutios in
this instance. Mr. Walker’s motion was lost by
* four votes only—many demoorats voting fbr it,
who are completely disgusted with tho Govoruor.
Tho truth is this. Governor Johnson thought
that tlio rocoss wus a vory good tiling for him to
i monopoliso a little exelusivo capital all to himself,
and at tho exponso of tho co-ordinato branch of
tho Government. In, howovor, hunting np pop
ularity with too much zeal, lie has ovor-lcapt tlio
mark, and hns succeeded in making himself ridi
culous in tho estimation of almost ovory intelli
gent mombor of tho Legislature without distinc
tion of party.
. Dr. Phillips road a report which gavo an account
of tho value of tho various qualities of laud in
this State, and tho amount of taxable property to
gether with oilier interesting facts. Two hundred
Copies were ordered to bo printed,
l Tho House thou adjourned till 8 o’clock.

of constructing a Railroad from a point between
Calhoun aud Marietta, via Ellgny, in Gilmer
county, to tho mouth of Lighting Town Creek,
near the copper tuinos iu that county.
Mr. Young, of Union, moved to amend by add
ing, from tho copper mines to tho Rabun Gap
‘ Railroad,at Clayton, in Rabun county. Mr. Y’oung
told the Mouse if they did not pass that amend
ment he and his peoplo would not feel proud of the
name of Georgian, aud would rather be out off into
Tennessee or North Carolina. The amendment
was lost. The Bill was passed and the House ad
journed.
From conversations I have had with various
members, I find that there is a general iinprea
aiou that the Union party has gained considerable
strength in the January elections in the various
counties. The triumphs in Cass, Cherokee, Gor
don, Whitfield, Taylor, Crawford, Fayette and
Dougherty, seem to indicate a very great improve
ment in the prospects of the Union oause.

Dr. McGehee, of Houston, addressed the Senate
in a speech characterised by great force and ability
agaii at the bill—contending that the establishment
of many Institutions of this character, had a ten
dency to undermine the present Institution at
Augusta, and to have a .deteriorating effect upon
the medical profession.
Dr. Ridley, of Troup, took very much the same
view aa Dr. McGehee, and a considerable discus
sion arose between Messrs. Collier of DeKa!b,
Thomas of Gwinnett, Mosely of Spalding, and
others.
Mr. Pope, of Wilkes, did not sec why this In
stitution should be refused a charter. He was in
favor of seeing as many Institutions of a literary
character established in Georgia as could be sus
tained.
Mr. Miller, of Kichmond, remarked that he bad
no objection on the part of Augusta, or as one of
tiie Board of Trustees of the Medical Institution

ment to tho amendment aa followa: “provided
that at the time of such transfer tho Bank shall be
in a solvent condition.”
Mr. Walton advocated, with great ability, the
amendment of his colleague, Mr. Walker, and
showed tho groat injury done by tho amendment
of Mr. Trice, not only to the institution seeking a
charter, but tho community interested in its es
tablishment.
Mr. Speaker Ward, sustained Mr. Wulkor’a
amendment in a brief speech, evidencing tho lu
cid intellect of that gentleman, and his thorough
honesty, justice and independence as a legislator.
In what condition,said ho, would be the estates of
deceased stockholders, when their liabilities were
entirely unknown t and what inducements to men
of soundness and responsibility to invest in such
an institution, when they could not know tho con
sequences or misfortunes which might befall it im
mediately upon their retirement. Mr. Ward
showed tho agrarian spirit which pervaded tho
amendment of tho member from Pike.

Tho spirit which dictated this amendment was
not one which cun bo commendod for its wisdom

of monopolies, and if this road would benefit the

no reason for rejecting it
Mr. Miller, of Richmond, was of the opinion that
it would have an iajurions effect, not only on the
Weetern and Atlantic Railroad, but upon other
roads in the State. Ho showed that the proposed
railroad from Dalton was intended to complete the
connection of roads in Tennessee, Virginia and
Alabama, making another southern line for
through travel, by which the roads of those three
Stales would be benefited whilst those of Georgia
wonld be materially injured. The discussion was

a decision upon the question raised in regard to
the bill introduced oy Mr. Young, of Union,
whether it is permissible to introduce a bill con
taining the same subject matter as was contained in
an amendment to a bill previously rejected. The
Speaker decided that it was admissible, on the
ground that an amendment is not a bili or ordi
nance, and that is what is included in the clause of
the Constitution, as matter which may not be
brought before the House after being "once re
jected.
The House proceeded to rear! bills a second time
till the hour of adjournment.
A horrible tragedy took place here this after
noon about five o’clock, two young men had a
slight difficulty in (root of McCorao's Hotel, iu
regard to some circumstances that bad previously
taken place when pla-ing Faro. The one war?
name! Kaiston, from Macon, the other Hunt, from
Albany. The latter charged tire former with
doing something to injure him, the former pro
nounced him a liar, when Hunt shot him through
the heart in an instant with a “ Colt’s Repeater.”
He died in about ten minutes—Hunt run for
about a mile, was pursued and caugbt, and is now
in the bands of the Magistrates.
This melancholy affair happening here in the
public streets iu open day, has produced a great
excitement in Miiledgeviile, ana is certainly an
illustration of the injuiioua effect of exercising the
pardoning power, in cases where the crime has
been fully substantiated without justification.
Gxuruu.
[Wx submit to the Legislature, whether it would
not boa great saving of time, labor and expense,
to pardon. Hunt at once. The ridiculous farce of a
trial would bo avoided, and the friends of Hunt
saved much anxiety of mind. Come gentlemen
jail deliverers, got your sympathies stirred up and
try your hands at a pardon. No tifferenee
whether he has been convicted or sentenced—it is
an extraordinary occasion, and you should call
into exercise some extraordinary powers. Besides
you affect to be for economy and reform, and this
will only be carrying out your pejerred principles,
you may save tho country the expense of a trial,
and may reform tho people by teaching them that
to protect their own lives and the good order of
society, they should assign such Legislators to
private station—you arc certainly unworthy of any
public position, unless it be the notoriety which
should attuch to yon.— Ed. Cheon. ic Sim.]

Mulkdokville, Jan. 15, 1554.
lowing to an unforeseen occurrence, Iwr ■* pre
vented from writing my usual letters on Friday
aud Saturday.
On the former day, the first business in tho
Senate was the calling up of Dr. Smith’s Resolu
tion to bring on the Senatorial election. Tlion
followed another scene, of excitement, such as took
placo when the first resolution was received, on
motion of Dr. Singleton, at tho early part of tho
session. Motions of various kinds ur.d characters
were made. A motion to lay the resolution on tho
wblo was lost—to refer it to the Committee on the
State of the Republic, and the Committee on the
Judiciaiy, were also lost. Motions tr adjourn
wero lost by one majority. Tins contained till
about two o’clock, whon the members of the Uniou
Party retired from the Chamber, and left tho Sen
ate without a quorum. Shortly afterwards they
were followed by the Democratic side of the
Honsc.
At 4 o'clock, the Democratic Sonators returned
to the Chamber, but finding they wore still with
out a quorum, they remained iu the Chamber for
about an hour, doing nothing, and then retired
again.
The President called a meeting of the Democratic
Party that night, and invited all members of the
Legislature who hcrea.-er expect to act with the
Democracy. The meeting took place, and, as I
understand, passed a resolution to release mem
bers of the party from the obligation of the caucus,
and to allow every member to vote as he plpases.
Messrs. Anderson, of Chatham, Moore, ot Jackson,
and Bailey, of Whitfield, were present, and were
on the Committee of Har uony.
On Saturday morning, .he Seuate.convened in
their Chamber. It was moved to take up Dr.
Smith's resolution and «greo to it. The motion
was carried a,.or some discussion, and the resolu
tion was passed—after which the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
In the House ol Representatives, to-day, the case
of James S, D. Register, of Troup, under sentence
of death for murder, was discussed, and in tho
a.,ornoon he was pardoned by a majority of fifteen.
There oro some mitigating circumstances con
nected with this case; and it is thought that
though the crime was clearly murder, cider our
statute, yet the provocation—the slander of the
wife of the condemned—was sufficient to call forth
the clemency of the pardoning power.
A good deal of excitement prevails in MUledge
v’lle, in regard to the Senatorial election on Tues
day. A number of candidates arc expected on the
field to-morrow. There seems to be a strong feel
ing among a portion of the Democracy to elect the
Hon. John E. Ward, the present popular Speaker
of the House of Representatives, though otheis
contend that he is ineligible nnder the Constitu
tion of Georgia, as a member of the Legislature.
Injustice to Mr. Ward I will say, that he does not
know of the harmony of the party, as be was called
from Milledgevillo on Friday, by the nows that bis
excellent paiiner, Judge Charlton, was not ex
pected to live.
I think it not unlikely, that there will be no
election of a C nited States Senator. There exists
such a difference ot opinion among tho members,
and a determination on the part of many to adhere
to their favorites that I should not bo suprised if
I they were W laii entirely.
The case of Haul of which allusion was made in
my last letter, was yesterday carried by writ of
Harbcas Corpus before the Inferior Court. The
the teelmicny was much the saute as ltial given in
bifore the committing Magistrate.-.
J. L. Harris, Esq, opened the case on the part
of the prisoner in an able argument for the motion
to bail.
Mr. Duncan, followed on the part of the prose
cut on contending that the case was one of the
most atrocious character—that the pri oner had
, been proven clearly guilty of murder, and that it
was not a bailable case.
Col. A. H. Kenan, concluded the argument in
behalf of Hunt, endeavoring to prove that the
prisoner acted under an uncontrollable passion,
caused by repeated insults, alleged to have been
offered by the deceased.
Judge McKinley said that he was instructed by
a majority of the Court, to announce that the mo
tion to bail was granted, in the sum of ten thou
sand dollars. He said that he conld not agree
with the other members of the Court, and there
fore had his opinion recorded as dissenting.
Judge McKinley istho only Lawyer on the Bench.

Life in Milledgenlle—Anolher Letter from Quip.
“The powers that be” having communed with
their much-re-jAcitd constituency, have returned
to the scone of their labors, and are once more
engagod in the laudable occi pation of devising
means to develop, encourage and foster the ram
pant genius of the sovereignty of the Empire State
of the South. Allah! Aehabar! as the Turks say,
Georgia is a great State, and the General Assem
bly is ah ! Mr. Editor, I just leave yon to guess. .
lam serious, sir, 1 assure you—only contemplate
tLe matter before this dignified and meritorious
body, and you can form some idea of the Heiculean
task before them.
First, a mighty party is in power and must be
retained there if possible, by carefully framing the
laws so as to leave no assailable point, to a wily
and determined foe, by rewarding zealous and de
voted friends with the patronage of government,
by crushing enemies, curbing the refractory, sooth
ing the disaffected and reducing to practice the
groat principles of unify and harmony. Is this a
light task '■
In the second place, the mighty Kail Koad influ
ence, which is causing itself to be felt in the coun
sels of the State, must receive due attention and
consideration, that the onward impulse it may
receive, shah have that direction which will render
tributary to the interests of Georgia, the whole
world and “the rest of mankind.” Conflicting
interests ate to be reconciled—the mountains must
tender the olive branch of peace to the rice fields ,
of the seaboard—the cotton plains of Middle and :
Southwestern Georgia must bear the flag of truce
to the pine barrens and obstruction locked water
communications of tlio East, that the “manifest (
destiny” of Georgia may bo fulfilled. Is that easily ,
done ! .
In the third place, that nost delicate of all mat'
tors, the momentous subject of taxation —wliat a
world of thought clusters around tho word ! —is to
bo handled in the moat prudent manner. Those
who have heretofore paid no tax comparatively
speaking, are to be persuaded to jive it as a dona
tion to the rising genius of Georgia; while those
who have good-naturedly paid alt the taxes, are to
be reasoned out of the stupid eagerness they have
displayed to return to the same old system ol
things. This, one would think, wes a very easy
task. Our legislators will, however, find it one of
the most difficult, they will bo called upon to en
counter.
In tho fourth place, tho interests of tho State are
to bo looked after and considered. Its social,
moral, intellectual, physical and religious condition
is to bo carefully inquired into and advanced. You
are now doubtless ready tooxelaim, why this is tho
sole duty and business of the Legislature, and
what is now engaging their attention. You were
nevor more mistaken in your life. A lew old
Fogies—men of another age perhaps—doubtless
toko this view of their constitutional obligations,
but “Young America” and “manifest destiny,”
rulo the passing hour.
And last of all, but by far the most important
to ouch individual legislator, some local measure
must receive the sanction of legislative authority,
in order that cjpitul may be furnished to trade or
in the next legislative campaign. Each legislator
must have a certificate of scrip, which will author
ize him to draw upon the legislative funds of the
session of 1858 and 1354, as it stands upon the
Statute book of the State. It is so comfortable to
the feelings, not to sify gratifying to the pride, to
be able to point to tho Acts of the General Assem
bly and say, “ I introduced that bill!” AVhat an
heir-loom m the family, to havo it to say in aftor
limes, “ I’a was in the Lewislature, and made tho
Legislature chango Hilly Swipes’ name to Billy
Lnbnm.” Great nation this, greater people, liow
over, and we will only think tho rest as com
plements might make somo blush.
Now, sir, you will bo, doubtless, ready to ex
claim, why I what has all this to do with “ Lifo in
Millodgcvillc?” Very much, lassurcyou, so far ns
tho sessions of the Legislature are concerned. To
satisfy yourself, turn to tho Acts of 1851 and 1852,
and solect those subjects embraced in the first,
second, third and last propositions of this article,
and see how many will be left to come under the
fourth proposition. The examination will doubt
less startle you, and yet this is lifeiu Millodgoville.
They are schemed, planned nndcxocutodhcre, and
go to make up the bulk of businoss transacted by
the Legislature. Life here is one of activity and
bustle, one of constantscheming, intriguing, pan
ning, dovising, arranging and executing, and like
incidental protection in tariff operations, the ad
vancement of tho interests of the State only grow
out ofthese measures incidentally as it wore. A
disinterested spccta'or of tho great struggle goirg
on between the contending parlies, I am ready to
exclaim, vive la bagatelle !
By-tlie bye, His Excellency, tho Governor, has
gotten himself into a pretty muss, on account of tho
Caudle style of his “recess protest.” He has dou bt
loss, cro this, discovered he has ventured into a
field where few laurels are to bo gamed. His Ex
cellency has not a very warning way about him, nor
is he more popular than ten men ought to bo.
And whethor his reeont movo upon tno recess
question will add to this most doßirablc qualifica
tions of a would-be public man, is a mooted ques
tion, which Governor Johnson will have tho
pleasure of discussing with tho Legislature. In
addition to this, a very recent appointment has not
given entire satisfaction to his fiionds, so the
Governor’s bark is likely to be favored with a
stormy sea and a tempestuous sky; so rig the
pumps and stand by to out down the masts, lest
tho old ship founder in tho gale, and perchance,
enough of us passengers may bo saved in the long
boat to bring tho old hulk into port, refit and get
another captain. Qinr.
Lil'e in Milledgeville-Anollier Letter from Gulp.
As the most interesting item of news at present,
wo propose to outertain your readers with a sketch
of the pitched battle that camo off on Friday in
the Senate, botween those dosirous of elovatiDg
tho Hon. Chas. J. McDonald to a seat in the United
States Senate, and the opponents of snch eleva
tion. Tho scono was rich in wild excitement, and
will form a memorable epoch in the history of
Georgia Legislation. Lost in astonishment at the
skillful maneuvering displayed, we scarcely know
which most to admire, the strategy of the con
tending pat ties or the obstinacy of the contest.
Tho motion made on Thursday alternoon, to
take np tho resolution upon tho Senatorial election,
may bo regarded as tho first offensive movement,
but night coming on, fmther movements were
suspended, for the time bciug, by tho belligerents,
and they withdrew their forces to recommence
operations on tho ensuing day ; fully dotormined
to do or die. The admirable maneuvering dis
played by Nelson in carrying his fleet into the
engagement at Trafalgar and securing that memor
able victory has boon much admired, but the
groat English Admiral’s star must pale Us lustre
before the transcendent splendor ot Friday’s tri
umph. The McDonald Democracy, led on by sev
eral accomplished Generals, among them, Smith
Clark, MceGheo, Cochran, Thomas, Holmes and
Green made a most desporate attempt to carry, by
assault, tho iutrenchments of the Anti-McDonald
ites under the command (of Anderson, Miller,
Stephens, Hull, Kid'oy, l’ope, Moore and others,
but were gallantly repulsed after much hard
fighting.
The battle opened by a direct attack in front by
Gen. Smith, but tho assault was rccoived by Gen.
Miller, and gallantly sustained. The advance of
Gen. Smith, however, had boon supported by Gen.
McGohoe, and tho division under Miller being
thus severely pressed, Gen. Stephens ordered a
division to turn the enemy’s flank, but finding it
much stronger than they anticipated, the division,
under Miller, was forced to chaugcYront and extend
their line. In the meantime, Gen. Hull finding the
main division under Miller hard pressed, and that
under Stephens unable to maneuver, sent forward
a strong detachment to deploy to the right and
left, and assail the enemy in the rear. The battle
now became general and obstinately contested,
and the final result doubtful; at this moment,
however, the Commander-in chief headed in per
son a body of resorve, and again the tide of battle
turned in favor of the .McDonaldites. "While the
contest however was going on in front, Gen. Mc-
Gehce had succeeded in extending his frout, and
aided by the reinforcement under the Commander
in-chief, had made good his entrance on one side
of the intrenchments in spite of the obstinate re
sistance of Stephens. At this crisis, Gen. Hull
again rallied his forces and made a most furious
attack, simultaneously, upon the main division
and each wing of the enemy. The contest now
became as fierce and obstinate as ever; the most
determined ardor fired the breasts of the comba*
ants, and victory again hung trembling in the
balance, but the guard under the lead of the
Commander-in-chief, a Tain turned the *de of suc
cess in favor of the McDonaldites, and valor, aided
bv skill and discipline, was forced to yield to
numbers, and the outer works were carried. The
enemy now preoared to assault the citadel, but
beiug met by a cesperata sally on the part of the
besieged, were forced to the attempt to starve
them out. Finding the season however for ac'vc
operations far spent, they eventually withdrew
their forces and summoned “a council of war.”
Tbe call for this promised a general amnesty to
those who would icllow their fortunes and assist
in bringing the war to a close.
CFrom what we have been able to gather, the
terms upon which they have all agreed is that the
chieijnn, in whose favor they took up arms, shall
not be regarded as the “hereditary head,” but that
every one should be free to make his own choice.
I The result of “this counsel of war,” was, that a
portion of those who assisted in defending the
works marched over to the enemy, but those left
behind still maintained a gallant defence and did
not yield until the entire works were in the pos
session ot the enemy.
Now, Mr. Editor, to come down from our fancy
flight of immagination and deal in matters by their
real name, we should say, if permitted to hazard
an “ expression of opinion,” that, in our humble
j udgment, to-day’s work will prove most disastrous
to the principles, conset .'ativcuesS and consistency
of the U nion Democracy of Georgia. That it will
result in the elevation ot Charles J. McDonald to
the.sei.atc of the United States, does not, I appre
hend, admit of any doubt. How Union Democrats
will reconcile it to their repeated protestations
of fidelity to principles, we leave to their ingenu
ity 1 Consistent to those principles which involve
the true and sole issues before the American peo
ple let tbe U. E. Party march forward to victory
with the motto of Crockett emblazoned upon their
banners:
“ Be sure you're right, the a go ahead.”

AYaaluagto* Cormpondeac*.
Washington, Jan 13, 1354.
The Washington Mar, though small affair, but
quite a spirited little paper, may bo omsidered the
confidential organ of the AdmiaiatoMioc— the
straw which indicates the direction of the breeze
from the White House. The Editor is one of the
free and eisy sort of fellows, who walks into the
sanctums of the Secretaries, if not into the pres
ence of his would-be Majesty himself, unannounc
ed, with cigar in month, and paper and pencil in
hand to “take notes.” Hence it is that every
Democrat watches the Star with as much interest
as the mariner watches tho wind-vane to soe how
the breeze is setting, and how to trim sails.
It is not unknown to you that Senator Bright is
considered the head and front—the ringleader of
the opposition to the Administration in Congress;
that it was he who brought about the election of
Tucker aa Printer to the Senate, and who intro
duced the bill which was intended to legislate out
of office the present Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, Peter S. Washington, who, byway of
parenthesis, has contrived to excite more odium
against himself in his own party here, than he will
ever be able entirely to wipe out with all the power
he now wields in so arbitrary a manner.
The President is much in the habit of sending
for those who it is apprehended may be, or are
known to be disaffected, taking them asido and
talking affectionately and confidentially with them,
and even inviting them to a “private and confiden
tial” dinner, and if ail this does not answer, of
giving them significant hints through the Star,
that the reasons for their being “sore-headed
democrats” are well known. This mode of dis
' ciplining the party being well understood, the
remarks of the Star in reference to individuals are
taken as shadowing forth the feelings and inten
tions of the Executive. Such was the case when
that paper, a short time ago, opened up George N.
Sanders, Consul at London; and in an issue of a
day or two ago, it took occasion to say that it wns
quite uncertain who would be nominated as Mar
sha! of Indiana, Mr. Kobinson, Bright’s particular
friend, who was appointed last spring, being
charged with once having been tainted with free
soilUm !
As Mr. Kobinsou, who was a member of the 80th,
81st and 82d Congresses, has ever been as con
sistently opposed to freeaoilism as any man from
the West, this intimation is plainly a broad hint to
Mr. Bright, that if he does not prove more tracta
ble, obedient and loyal, his friends shall be out
down around him, and he moat expect them to
have no share in the “spoils of office”—that great
object lor v-hieh the discordant factions of the
country banded together in 1852, But notwith
standing the throat thus thrown out to iutimidato
a Senator, and perhaps to induco his personal
friends to importune him to return to his allegi
ance, give in his adhesion, and humbly acknowl
edge “the divino right” of the President to the
“passivo obedience” of his sycophantic subjects, I
do not believe the nomination of Mr. Kobinsou
will be withheld. If it should be, Indiana is thrown
away by tho Executive, and she wou'd arrange
herself at once in line with New York. No one
knows this better than Gen. Pierce, and ho will
scarcely have the hardihood to make such an ex
periment at this time. I mention these little mat
ters because, though small, they are important as
illustrating the spirit which prevails here, of tho
Executive in bringing about “subordination” or
“passive obedience” on the one side, and of sub
missivenoss on the other.
Mr. Bailey, of Va., indignantly rebuked this
spirit of dictation a short lime ago, in his speoeh
upon tho bill to regulate tho appointment of tho
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Ho protested
against being told continually that this would be
distasteful to the administration, and that is con
trary to the wishes of the administration, and the
administration are in favor of this and opposed to
that, &c., &e. I do not quote his words, but the
purport of his remurks. But Mr. Bailoy stands
almost alone—the two Stantons only from tho
Southern wing of the party standing with him,
and it may be tliorotoro that his name and sonti
monts may not have much weight with the party
at the South.
There is no probability now of the nomination of
Mr. Kedfield, the successor of Judge Bronson, be
ing rejected. Gon. Cass lias given in his adhesion
to tho Coalition of Froe Soilers and Fire-Eaters,
against the urgent remom trances of many of his
old and mostiaithful and devoted friends—friends
who were placed in their present position by their
attachment and fidelity to him. Mr. Weller, too,
who wrote so fierce a letter in reply to an invitation
to address the “Hard” meeting in tho city of New
York, and then explained it all away in another to
tho Union —this gailant Bob Acres has “caved in,”
and become one of the “passive obedients.” Here
after he shall roar you as gently as any sucking
dove. Atchison, Bright and Broadhead, are, I
hoar, the only Senators who neithor have nor will
give in their adhesion to the policy of the little
Brigadier.
But the Nebraska territorial bill will givo tho
coalition a shaking. If Ido not misjudge men,
you will see some of those who have very lately
taken thoir stand upon tho Baltimore platform,
jumping from it in a hurry. This bill will proba
oly lead to a protracted and angry debate. But
“sufficient for the day,” &c.
The debato upon tho Central American subject
was opened yesterday by Mr. Cass. Mr. Clayton
roplios to day.
An Important bill was introduced into the Senate
on Monday, namely—to establish a Court to inves
tigate claims against the United States. Something
of this kind is greatly needed to further the ends
of justice. Another bill wns also introduced to
provide for tho payment of certain Texan debts.
The subject of the Pacific Railroad goes, in tho
Senate, to a select committee of nine. Mr. Gwin
at its head.
It is understood here that a Whig will be elected
U. S. Senator by tbc Legislature of Maine, and
that Mr. Pearce, tho able Senator from Maryland,
will bo ro elected.
Mr. Clemens is now spoken of by the .Star, in
connection with the Consulship of Ilawma !—sig
nificant. Mr. Clemens was understood, when lie
came here, to approve tho course of tho New York
“Hards.” and was consequently invitod to address
tho Philadelphia meeting; but to the surpriso of
those who invited him, ho published a reply in the
Union, which they dony having received, disap
proving of the meeting, and avowing his general
approval of the policy of tho Administration. Tho

New York Monet Market, Jan. 14.—Tho for
eign news appears to have depressed tho Slock
market somewhat. It is not animated and the
market seems to be waiting the arrival of another
steamor. The effect of the news by the Baltic was
unfavorable on stocks in general. As there is no
great scarcity of money at present on call, holders
of stock are unwilling to submit to any considera
ble reduction in price. On the other hand, buyers
are unwilling to make purchases, presuming that
furthor reductions must ensue, in consequence of
the warlike news from Europe. This has made the
market vory inactive, and tne transactions gener
ally light. Tho features of the foreign news, how
ever, ere, in a mor lire, counterbalanced by the
improvement reported in American Cotton and
Breadstuff’s. There iB ale:« eager domund for
monoy in tho streqt, but offerings ut the banks are
still large.
We note no change in rates. On call the supply
is good at 7 por cent., and first class paper is in
good request at 9to 12 per cont. The effect of the
large disbursmeuts for dividends during the pres
ent mouth, is beginning to bo felt in the market.
Tho receipts from tlie interior arc proportionately
as good as during tho Fall season, and tho mer
chants are generally quite easy in their finances.—
The Banks witl prooably show an increased line of
discounts in the nexi report.
A correspondent of the Boston Transcript states
that the Suffolk Bank employs 51 clerks in count
ing and assorting bills or tbe different banks of
New England States. These clerks count on an
average $150,000 in an hour, and the total average
amount at the dose of each day’s business is about
$1,000,000. The system was commenced by the
Suffolk in 1849, at which time the redemptions
were frequently not more than SIOO,OOO, but some
times reached $250,000. The New England Bank
was the first in taking foreign money at a discount,
and at a uniform rate; but the Suffolk received the
some descriptions of money at a lower rate, and
finally monopolized the business.
