Milledgeville, Jan. 19, P. M.
SENATE.
At the evening adjournment, yesterday, the Senate
was engaged upon Judge Cone’s bill, reducing the
Senatorial Representation to 33 in number, and pro
viding for annual sessions of the Legislature. The
Senate, about sundown, (when it adjourned) was
utterly lost in a parliamentary fog ; and the most se
rious apprehensions were entertained throughout the |
whole of last night, for the safety of that body. lam
happy to state, however, that on the re-assembling
this morning, a quorum of Senators were present;
some measures should be taken, by means of insur
ance orqfcherwise, to prevent the loss of so valuable a
body for the future ; or at least atone for the loss, if
it should occur—an event, which the proceedings of
to-day demonstrate to be xvithin the limits of possi
bility. Judge Cone’s bill was taken up, as unfinish
ed business, this morning, and the following is a brief
sketch of its progress :
Originally, the bill simply proposed to reduce the
number of Senators to 33, from 33 districts, and to
have annual sessions. Mr. Miller proposed to
amend so as to have twenty Senatorial districts, xvith
txvo Senators from each district—one half holding for
two, and the other for four years. Mr. Spalding
moved to strike out so much of Mr. Miller's amend
ment as referred to the classification of Senators, the
t fleet of which would be to have the elections of all
the Senators come off" at the same time ; whereas, by
Mr. Miller’s arrangement, only half of the whole
number would be voted for ut the same election, tlie
elections being biennial. Mr. Spalding's motion was
lost. Mr. Riley then moved to strike out and insert,
from Mr Miller’s amendment, so as to have one
Senator from each county, as now. This motion,
offered as a test, was earned by a vote of 47 to 45.
Mr. Miller then moved to lay his amendment, as
amended,on the table. Carried. At this stage of
the proceedings, the bill xx'a.s stripped of all its sec
tions relating to a reduction in the number of Sena
tors, leaving only its last section, which provided for
annual sessions. Mr. Miller so amended this aa to
provide, that the Legislature should meet on the
first Wednesday, instead of first Monduy, in Novem
ber. Mr. Peeples amended so as to limit tlie session
to 40 days, unless by a .two-thirds vote of both
Houses, in favor of continuance. Mr. Miller again
amended so as to require the two-thirds vote to be
taken by ayes and nays, so that gentlemen would be
put upon record on the question of continuance.
Mr. Miller further amended, so as to require the pay
of members and officers of the General Assembly, to
be fixed by law, and prox iding that if any session
should hold over fifty days the pay should be re
duced one-lialf, for every day beyond that- limit.
Tins clause, reducing tin* pay, was stricken out, on
motion of Mr. Moore, of Lincoln. Mr. Buchanan
noxv moved an additional section to the bill, pro
viding for six Senators from each Congressional
District, whose terms of office should be fixed by
law. Lost. Judge Cone moved au additional sec
tion, providing for annual elections, as well as ses
sions. Mr. Miller moved to lay the section on the
table. Carried. The bill was then passed, by a
vote of 75 to 18, and the Senate adjourned.
Now for the effect of the above: No change is
made in the number of Senators; Elections are bien
nial, as now ; Sessions are made annual—no session
to hold over forty days, unless by a two-thirds vote
of both Houses, which vote is required to be taken
by ayes and nays; and the pay of members and offi
cers 1* to be fixed by law. There were a good many
speeches made, during the progress of the bill, on the
several points raised. In reference to annual elec
tions, Mr. Miller stated, that he could not vote for the
bill if it contained that feature. Judge Cone would
vote for it whether his amendments were grafted on
it or not; but he would sav that he favored annual
and frequent elections. He liked political excite
ment ; repose, profound, but death like, brooded
©vdi and was characteristic of despotisms; agitation
was a Republican institution. Political discussions
too, gatherings of the people, and public meetings,
were useful, as tending to disseminate political know
ledge, and promote tin interchange ot sentiment and
opinion. Another advantage incident to frequent
elections, was, that when the people’s representa
tives failed to reflect their opinions, the representa
tives could be changed, and promptly changed: elec
tion days were political feast-days, when every free
man felt himself such, nud gloried m the rights and
privileges of American citizenship. Mr. Guerry was
opposed to such frequent excitements. Great evils
were sometimes consequent on close and hotly con
tested elections. Members could at any time ascer
tain the views and wishes of their constituents, and
were bound thereby. Campaigning was not a
source of correct political information. A better
plan would bo to employ teachers to visit, teach, and
commune with the people. [The gentleman evi
dently sighs for the good old days of Greece and
flouie.] The floating vote, he said, would be in
creased by frequent elections, [there can be no doubt
of it J and as that vote was no credit to the country, it
would be wiser to diminish than increase it. Mr.Me-
Millan was in favor of political excitement; especial
ly when vital questions were before the people. Ex
citement showed that interest was felt. Mr. Peeples
was opposed to annual elections, because he be
lieved t hut to be tl i*- sentiment of the people. Not a
single Grand Jury, public meeting, or private indi
vidual outside of the Capitol, favored the scheme,
(within his knowledge) or had recommended it. He
deprecated political excitement as a fruitful source
of error, rather than of truth; wire-pullers were the
only beneficiaries of it, and we already h n -ve festive
days enough. Gen. Peter Cone, advocated annual
elections; never saw but one row in his life, at the
polls. Ile thought the people sufficiently enlightened
to be trusted with this power.
In reference to annual sessions, Mr. Peeples said
that he favored them. All the important elections
should come off at the same time, for you could best
get at the 1 general sense of the masses thereby. The
Governor and the Legislator should be elected at the
same time, and hold for the same term. [Gov. John
son, you will rember, takes precisely the contrary of
this proposition, in his late messaged
On the point of half pay, raised by Mr. Miller’s
amondment, Gen. Peter done said he was opposed to
it because it would give the rich members the ad
vantage over the poorer ones. Judge Baxter op
posed it as an imputation on the characters of mem
tiers.
In reference to limited sessions, Mr. McMillan said
he was opposed to them. Mr. Gibson wanted to ex
tend the time to sixty days; was in favor of a limit,
but thought sixty days the lowest advantageous pe
riod, and demanded t>y the size and growing wants
of the State.
I have given you above but a brief history of the
bill—not all the amendments and suggestions offered,
and but a bald account of the specification. But the
whole story would fill a volume ; and I am content if
I have succeeded in giving you the spirit of the de
bate. and the leading ideas* evolved. From all of
which you readily perceive that the Senate has no
idea of t uming itself out of doors. J ust here a ques
tion : Would it not have been more proper, and more
in accordance with Republican institutions and ideas,
(if not more courtly, delicate) for the House to have
}tas*ed on tliis question a reduction of the Senate ?
Ave or nav—if the Senate feels over-burdened, and
will leave it to the House, the latter body will speedi
ly reduce its proportions. In the House there is a
ided belief, however erroneous, that the Senate
needs pruning and humbling. Witness their perti
nacious refusal to allow the Senate to loot a little bill
of only sll5 —due Mr. J. W. Duncan: and a little
bill of $lO, due the Clerk of the Supreme Court.

' v as taken up ; The powers asked are the same as
those now enjoyed by the Inferior Court of Liberty
county, and by the authorities of LaGrange. Mr.
Terhnne yesterday, opposed the bill, on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. Mr. Harris, of Fulton,
made a speech this morning in its support—one of
lae most forcible, eloquent and convincing speeches
J**? session. It "as one of those efforts, however, j
which, unless caught at the time and immediately
put upon paper. would lose its lustre. One figure 1

while speaking of the evils of the liquor traffiic m
Atlanta, the gentleman alluded to the splendid bar
rooms there, brilliantly illuminated, towering high,
with taffy Hxmt. and built with Georgia Granite:
_ the eyment which held those stones together,
was made up with the tears of widows arid orphans, j
ana the winds winch dried it. were the sighs of !
broken-hearted mothers.” The speech abounded in I
images equally beautiful and forcible was replete. *
too. with wit. humor, and sarcasm ; and on the con- *
siiumou&i point rased, perfectly unanswerable.— !
Mr. Terkune. in reply to a stinging remark from his \
opponent in reference to a bill which Mr. Terfaue j
had introduced, giving Janie* Higginbottom, a free i
person of color, leave to retail, on taking out a
license and taking the oath, stated tiiat he had no 1
interest in the Heigginbouam Bill, ” but had
offered it in compliance with a petition, signed :
by several highly respectable peaaong, one of whom ;
was a clergyman, and eight others, church members.
Mr. Terhnne hat yet to be beard from on the Atlanta
bill, aa pending the discussion, the House amounted.
The Resolution of Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, adopted
yesterday, making a reoisition upon the State Trea
surer for a Report of the per diem and mileage of
this and the mst General Assembly, was called up
for reconsideration by Mr. Rumph, of Wayne. Mr.
R. and Mr. Havnie, of Floyd, sustained the motion.
Mr. Parris, of Dade, opposed it in a brief speech, his
first one this session He said, that as a member of
the last Legislature. he hoped the resolution would
stand It is understood that some irregularitiee
j have prevailed in the drawing of members pay ;
' that wwne drew under one rale, softie under another;
1 and it \rae hi* ted that something worte than inegu
| ioirev might be developed If tTiqtfiry. It was a fact
I that at the last session, one gentleman had been paid
j lor 800 miles mileage—wjtieJi Jit couldn't under -
I stand : he never had *-een through it. I>ui he was m
i favor of inquiry. If there had been stealing going
on. it wr.a due to the State, and the constituents of
: the grabber, that it sltould be known. A similar re
| solution had been voted down at the last session:
| and if his memory was not at fault. Mr. Huynie s
name was among the nays on that occasion. [Mr.
j Hayufe, (interrupting; “I do not remember it. Let
I the inquiry be made; I am perfectly willing to
i show my hand.’'] Mr. Humph said, that if the last
; Legislature was to be inc Laded, why not go further
i back still ? He had no objection to an inquiry so
; far as the present General Assembly was concerned:
j but to include the- las*, would not be fair toward
j those members not returned to this Legislature, and
, who could therefore have no opportunity for defence.
; Mr. Hayuie took the same position. The motion to
r reoonader was then put, and lost.
Tliis morning, the House adopted a rule, requiring
! the business o? afternoon sessions, to be limited to
i the reading of Senate bills the first time, House bills
I the second time, and to the introduction, of new
j matter but the House had no sooner re-assembled,
alter dinner, titan the rule was suspended, to take
i up, for a third reading, the bill appropriatingslo,ooo
| each, to the Savannah and Atlanta Metrical Col-
I leges. Tiie bill provides for the medical education
j of one student ■ beneficiary i from each Congressional
J district.
Mr. Lewis, of Greene, offered a substitute, which
j omitted the Savannah College, and reduced the sum
j to $5,000, but made no other change.
| Mr. Lawton, of Chatham, moved to amend so as
j to include the Savannah College.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, interposed. He thought
the two measures should be separately entertained:
| and each Institution stand upon its own merits.
| Mr. Lawton protested against such injustice.
I “When the bill to aid the Atlanta College was find
i introduced, he amended it by adding the Savannah
j College. The House agreed to the amendment by a
! very large vote. Then ws the time, if at ah, to
j rahft the question of separate and individual merit;
j it was not fair, on the heel of the session, to soring
this question." The amendment was agreed to,
I whereupon Mr. Harris, of Fulton, took the floor in
! advocacy of the bill. He spoke of the College as
j one demanded by the wants < f Upper Georgia : as
I affording fine facilities to Students during the sum
! mer months, when other Colleges were closed ; as a
I Southern Institution; as a Georgia Institution : and
one which would keep thousands of dollars in the State
and bring in students from Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi and Florida : also, he dwelt at length up
on the auty of the State to foster the sciences, of
which medical science was one of the most important.
Mr. Lawton followed, endorsing the views of Mr. Har
ris, and concluding by setting forth the claims of the
Savannah College. Mr. L. made no attempt at a
speech, the subject having been very thoroughly
elucidated by Mr. Hams. Mr. Crook next took the
floor. The gentleman’s usual liberality induced the
supposition that he would of course advocate the
bill; but; to the surprise of the House, he pitched
into it most vigorously. The leading idea of his
speech was, that it was time to stop feeding the Col
leges and do something for common schools: time to
stop helping those who could help themselves, and
assist the famous “forty thousand” fret* whites, who
didn't know a letter iu the book ; and it was not a
bad idea , Mr. Crook said, among many other things,
that some weeks ago he had offered a* modest little
bill to give to new counties the benefits of the Poor
School Fund—:»r rather, to appropriate a little mo
ney, only SBOO per comity, to be devoted to Acade
mic purposes ; and this reasonable request had been
refused. lie made up his mind, the day his bill
was kiiled, to postpone appropriations to Colleges,
and never to vote them a dollar until the claims of
Georgia’s poor were heeded.
31 r. Lewis, of Hancock, next made a speech iu fa
vor of the bill; his leading arguments, though he
offered many, were, that the medical profession
should be encouraged and fostered, because the
charities and kindnesses of physicians to the poor
and the sick, far exceeded everything v. 1 ick the State
did for them by her laws; which is a a fact re
flecting the greatest honor on the profession ; but I
take the liberty to say, no argument in favor of an
unlimited system of Medical Colleges. Ilis other
lending argument was, that tin Medical Profession,
through the department of Chemistry, was able to
do much for Agriculture; in proof of which, lie allu
ded to Drs. Cloud of Alabama, Philips of Mississip
pi, Mercer, Daniel, and the late Dr. Wm. Terrell,
of Georgia; to whom he paid an eloquent tribute.
These eminent men he said, would never have been
led, probably, into the study of Agricultural science,
but lor their medical education. He also claimed
the appropriations, because a similar one had been
made to “a little root concern, in Macon ;” and took
occasion to quote, while up, from the speech made
by Mr. Crook. This brought the latter gentleman
to his feet, to correct the quotation. “He had not
used the language attributed to him.”
Mr. Lewis. “I cannot hope to reach the language
of the gentleman—if 1 should succeed in catching
his ideas, I shall be fortunate.”
Mr. Crook, on getting the floor, defended himself
against this imputation, in of the most ingenious and
unique speeches I ever heard. It was one brilliant
mosaic, made up of quotations, scriptural, poeti
cal, and proverbial, and all singulurl felicitous aud
appropriate. Having got through with his personal
remaiks, in which he lavished compliments upon his
opponent, (over the left,) but so sincerely paid, they
hardly seemed ironical, lie then defended the Botanic
College at Macon. “The gentleman had called it a
little root concern.’’
Mr. Lewis. “ I only used that term because no
other occurred to me by which to designate it at the
time. The system of medicine is founded, 1 be
lieve, upon l ycrb. s.’”
Mr. Crook. “The gentleman's explanation is en
tirely satisfactory.(?!!) But, sir, allow me to say
that I respect the gentlemen who control that Col
lege, and Ihe system taught there. 1 respect the
Medical profession, and J desire to see their interests
promoted; but, sir, it is time to educate the poor; it
is time." Here Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, moved an
adjournment, to which Mr. C. agreed, lie having the
floor on Monday morning.
The speeches in favor .of the bill were all very
plausible, but I hope some gentleman, on Monday,
will have the boldness and the candor, to take the
floor, and say something like the following :
Mr. Speaker: The Medical College business is
being largely overdone in Georgia. The door is al
ready open too wide for the manufacture of doctors,
and the terms are too easy. What should be Geor
gia’s object in making appropriations for the advance
ment of medical science: Soto increase the facili
ties of medical education as to turn out scores of phy
sicians annually ? or to see that all who are turned
out are thorough ? Why, sir, unquestionably the
last—if she can accomplish it. What is the effect of
so many rival colleges / As College professors are
human, alid consequently fallible, and likely to be
tempted as other men, the result will be to cheapen
the; honors of the profession; to lower the standard
of medical education, and to create a humiliating
competition— a struggle for students —between in
stitutions that should glory in being abate such a
struggle ; and which, with magisterial dignity and
severity, should dispense their honors to those only
who are lit to wear t hem. Sir, the multiplication of
Colleges and the indefinite increase of students is
not the way to advance science—nor is it any indi
cation when done, that science is advanced. But
again, sir. I beg leave to conjecture that should this
bill fail, the Colleges will not blow up. 1 doubt not,
sir, the glorious prospects which we are informed
they have, will continue to brighten. Indeed, sir,
from the glowing reports they give us of their suc
cess, I think it a little strange that they are so much
in need of aid; they are all doing a tip-top business,
lam told, for young beginners. We ha ve been told
of large expenditures made, and buildings erected;
and this is one of the pleas in the petition. It is a
queer argument. I confess I cannot see why, if cer
tain gentlemen are ambitious to wearthe Professor's
gown, deliberately procure that garment, the State
should be made to foot their tailors’ bills. In con
clusion, sir, I earc nothing ab:mt the petty sum of
If 10,000; nor am I personally hostile to auv of these
institutions ; but I stand upon the principles that 1
have rather hinted ut than enunciated, since I rose.
One word about summer Colleges and winter Col
leges. As medical science is oheof the most difficult
in the world, I confess it does not seem to me wise,
to catch up u student, bolt him through a summer
course, and before he lias time to think, hurry him
through the winter lectures, and pronounce him
graduated. These are the days of quick work, 1
know; but it does seem to me, that by a more delib
erate process, though the desired result would not
be obtained so speedily—which result is, a doctor—
yet, the result, when obtained, would be more satis
factory. If the Legislature of Georgia be sincerely
desirous to honor the Medical Profession and to re
cognize its worth, let them repeal that odious law
which makes it a penitentiary offence to take the
only means for the acquisition of medical knowledge,
which can be relied upon: or, if this please them not,
let the Legislature at least enact a law, exempting
the profession from damages for surgical blunders;
which blunders occur only for want of knowledge;
which knowledge isouly to be obtained by a process,
which, under the present law, it is a Penitentiary
crime to put in operation. Sir, a great deal has been
said about poor young men, &c*.—all of which is,
briefly, Buncombe. Any young man, however
poor; can get his medical education at Augusta. All
he need do, is to give his note of hand, and the lec
ture rooms are opened to him. I have dealt, sir, it is
true, in hints merely. But why ? Because I ad
dress the assembled wisdom of the State, and “a
word to the wise is sufficient.”

Mil ledge villx, Jan. 21, P M.
Mr. Allred, of Pickens, moved to reconsider the
bill providing for annual sessions of the General As
sembly, passed yesterday. The motion failed, nays
53—ayes 31.
The resolution providing for night sessions of the
Senate, Ac., offered by Mr. Miller, was taken up
and adopted, after a chaos of remarks, amendments,
noises, and confusions of various descriptions.—
Among the remarks made, I only notice one : it was
stated, as an argument in favor of industry on the
pari of the .Senate, that three hundred bills, exclusive
of House bills, were now on the table for action.
It was*moved to take up the special order—the
Military' Institute I>H! : but it seems that by parlia
mentary rule, a bill of Judge Cone s, Which fiaa been
the special order for Saturday, but was not taken up.
had precedence; so it was taken up. The bill is en
titled “An Act limiting the time in which suits in the
Courts of Law in this State be brought, and
also the time in which indictments are to be fcuod,
&c ” Nearly all day was spent upon the bill, (uv
\ cessarily ao. and after various amendments it was
pused. It is a very lengthy bill* prescribe** the
; limit in aE imaginable cases, and being strictly a ie
| gal ope. more interesting to the Bar than the public.

vided, that in each ot the cases there be representa
tion on the estate by executors or administrators,

Mr. 3ldler also added a section, which provides
that the act shall not interfere with the principles es
tablished iu Courts of Equity, in re lation to ‘7«db«
or 8; ate demands, or the equitable bar." And,
Judge Cone added an additional secTion, provi
ding that iu all cases, where, by the provisions of ;
tiii- act a private person would be barred of ills j
rights, the State shall bo barred of her rights. Tlk - j
are the most important chancres made in the present j
law in reference to “limitations." Else wise, the ■
' bill is one of consolidation rather than of change, or
original enactment.
The Georgia Military Institute bill was next ta- j
ken up. It originally provided for a transfer of only
two-thirds of the st»>ck to the State, and while ap- i
propriatiug $25,000 down, also provided for an an
imal impropriation in future of $->,OOO. Dr. Screven \
amended so as to have the whole stock transferred,
and to require the money t<»be paid to th< Treasurer,
who shall give bond, instead of to the Saperinl -n
--dant. Mr. CgThoua moved to amend so us to give !
to future Legislatures the power to repeal the feature
of $5,000 annual appropriation, whenever they
deemed it proper to do so. Messrs. Pope and Pee
ples opposed the amendment, until they {* arnedthat ,
it was acceptable to the friends of the bill; where- |
upon they drew out aud the amendment was en- j
grafted. Mr. Hardeman then offered a substitute j
for the amended bill, promising simply a donation of ;
$ to the Institute. Mr. Miller moved to fill :
the blank with SnS,UOU. Lust, by a very large vote, !
only 13 votes being for it—which was queer.
Mr. Gibson, of Pike, stated that he wanted more j
light on the subject; he was not prepared to act. j
Pending further action the Senate adjourned.
In this connection, a message was received from i
His Excellency the Governor, transmitting a letter j
from the Trustees of the Institute, from which it ap- j
pears that its incumbrances are $7,500, and its value
is set down at $20,000 —if I heard the sum correct! v. !

HOUSE.
The first business in order this morning, was the j
consideration of the bill, confining on the corporate j
authorities of the City of Atlanta, the power to pro- j
Mbit, restrict and regulate the retail liquor traffic 1
in that city. Mr. Terhuue opposed the bill as being I
unconstitutional, and offered a variety of amend
meats, which if agreed to, would have deprived the :
bill of its efficiency. Tiie House, however, voted
them down by large majoriths. Mr. Thornton, of
Muscogee, moved so to amend, as to withhold the ‘
prohibitory power and coufer only that to restrict
and regulate. Lost.
Mr. Harris, of Fulton, the author and chief advo- \
cate of the bill, then moved to amend, so ns to give j
to the poop)!' of Atlanta, at their next citv election, j
the ratification or rejection of the bill by tacii votes. j
Tin* bill thus amended, was then passed by a vote of So j
to 15, most of the ayes justifying their vote, as I mi- :
stand, on the ground that the measure was purely |
local, and being not unconstitutional, the poop!, of
Atlanta should have tin- privilege of controlling :!<>■
traffic according to their own wants, wishes and ex
igencies.
The bill appropriating monies to the Savannah ;
and Atlanta Medical Colleges, was next taken up. !
and Mr. Crook having the floor, proceeded to de- |
fine his position. The substance of his remarks was, 1
that lie was not opposed to liberal appropriations in j
support of literature and science. He would al- j
ways vote for them when he could do so without j
prejudice to other equally important interests. But
just now, the great question was, how educate the I
a del And until he saw a move in that direction,
an effort at least, made in behalf of ilie masses,
he would withhold appropriations from the Colleges,
so far as his vote could do it. After some remarks
from several gentlemen, the bill was made the spe
cial order for Saturday next.
The next business was the consideration of the
bill giving State aid to the Ellijay Railroad Com
pany, v*io have projected a road to run from some
point on the State Koad, between Marietta and Cal
houn, via Ellijay, to tiie Copper Mines in Gilmer
county. Mr. Pickett, of that county, offered a sub
stitute lor the original bill, which (the substitute) is
drawn upon the “Brunswick” model, as fashioned
and passed by the Senate. Mr. P. took the floor in
support of the bill, aud was just about getting fairly
off, when Mr. Crook asked to make a few sugges
tions—granted. Mr. Crook suggested that as the
bill was exactly like the Brunswick bill, but as the
latter was a far more important measure, he hoped
the gentleman from Gilmer would agree to a post
ponement, until the Brunswick bill could be passed
upon.
Mr. Pickett, however, declined to postpone, and
went on with his speech, expatiating at large upon
the great benefits to be derived from the road, coun
seling an enlightened and liberal system of St ate aid l
to deserving projects, and painting in glowing colors
the fine agricultural resources of the isolated section
which he proposed to put en railroad rapport with
the State at large, by means of State aid.
Mr. Smith, of Union, followed in opposition to the
Bill, now'and then bringing Mr. Pickett to his feet
for purposes of explanation. Mr. Smith was op
posed to Stateaid to these small projects. lie thought
they should be built by private enterprise; their
scope was limited and they could not be considered
as great State enterprises. He (Mr. Smith) repre
sented the whole State —was bound by his official
oath to legislate for the whole State; and he did not
approve of petty sectional legislation. If the road
would accomplish all the wonders claimed for it, it
was strange that State aid should be asked for. The
road was comparatively a short one, requiring none
of those vast expenditures which justify an appeal
to the strong arm of government, and lie thought
the individuals wiio wanted it should unite and build
it, as the people in his section wished to do by a road
from some point in Union or Fannin county, to some
eligible point on the X. E. Railroad— if /ley c nld
only get a charter. His people did not ask for aid—
all they wanted was an act of incorporation. The
gentleman from Gilmer had made a speech in oppo
sition even to a charter; he lmd denounced the
Union and Fannin road as a “ South Carolina road:'’
as a road which proposed to flood the State of South
Carolina with the products of North Eastern Geor
gia. Yet, with a beautiful consistency, lie had said,
not five minutes ago, that his road would enable his
section to furnish Georgia, Alabama, aye, and North
and South Carolina , too, with hay, apples, and po
tatoes. The Ellijay road squinted us much towards
South Carolina as the road for which lie (Mr. Smith)
asked a charter. Yet there was-this striking differ
ence between them : the Ellijay road sought to get
to Carolina by State aid; whereas, his company only
asked the privilege of uniting together to helpthern
selves; nor could he see w hy they should be denied;
or how, in a free country, an attempt could be justi
fied to divert the natural channels of trade, and de
ny a choice of markets to citizens who wished for
them, and were able and willing to pay, out of la-dr
own pockets , for the privilege. . It was very strange
indeed, yes, and was it not Anti-Republican, to re
fuse an act of incorporation to a company which
only sought for better commercial facilities, and risk
ed not aid but lea\ e. He thought—the hour for ad
journment having arrived) Mr. Smith suspended hi:
remarks, and will be entitled to the floor in the morn
ing. The contest between Union and Gilmer is
watched with much interest by the members gen
erally. Both the gentlemen from those counties
speak always with great animation and spirit, and
can, when they choose, be sharply satirical and un
comfortably severe. The present occasion elicits
their full powers —we consequently anticipate some
sharp-shooting in the morning, when, Mr. Smith hav
ing finished firing, Mr. Pickett brings his guns to
bear— already cocked and primed, and tremulous
with impatience to go oft’. Both gentlemen are plain
fanners, but they never speak unless to the purpose,
and always throw light on the matter in hand. Mr.
Smith, lam informed, has never made a speech un
til this winter. Nevertheless, those who do not
know better take him for a lawyer. Mr. Pickett has
been in the Legislature tor many years.

The Tee Bridge. — Aihe.. in t .—For 'a week past the
communication between il ls vilhgf.- and the Canada

ice which had formed across the ferry, for above a
week ago, has become thicker and is consequently
safer for pedestrians. The ice is probably from

crossing is perfectly safe and the view which can
now be obtained of the cataract Is unsurpassed.
Such an opportunity us is new presented for ob
taining a troth view of the Falls rarely oceans.
Previous to Saturday ice had famed up to Goat
Island and the landing could be made from the
Canada side. This U acireuo stance of very rare
occurrence. We are in.'orin- d that such a thing has
not happened for the her twenty or twentwfive
years. This find lends a romarhie character to an
adventure of Cluis. W. Joi i• , E. M. Clark and H.

Negro Boy, BILL. Description.—Bill Is about 22
years old, about 6 feot high and weighs about 190 pound*.
He is rather black, has a large mouth and shows his
gums when laughing ; is rather slow spoken and has but
very little beard. lie had on when he left a snuff colored
sack coat. I bought him from Joel Dorsey, of Columbia
connty, and he may possibly be trying to 'make his way
back.
A white man, calling himself James Robinson, was
seen talking with the negro, and it is my opinion that he
has been decoyed off by the said Robinson. Said whito
man gave his name as Robinson and also as Dorsey. Raid
Robinson or Dorsey is about 28 or 30 years of age, with
prominent cheek bone*, black whisker* and hair, weighs
about 160 pounds, and speaks rather through his nose.
