TToiies for a longer time than a fortnight or three week-, idom necessarily absent themselves at thoee periods. There is, however, in attendance in both branches of the Legislature, a number considerably j in excess over the number required to transact busi ne*s. There appears to be a general die oeition on ; T he part of members to dispose of the business before ; r *■ Genera! Assembly at aa early a day as practica ble. For the purpose of facilitating the business as much as possible, the various .Standing Committees | jf the two bodies eie hard at work every afternoon. ; to give the business submitted to their coneidera j t • : such a shape aa to facilitate its progress through the two Hou?ei. SENATE- Af.er the reading of the Journal, the order was ; suspended, for the purpoee of reading several bills j the second time. A resolution, that no rules of the Senate should be I . uupended, übleas for good reasons, to be stated by the mover, was adopted. Hills on their Third Reading ~A bill to ai ] ter and amend the 3d, 4th, 7th and 10th Sections of j the Lt Article of the Constitution. Mr Hanua moved to lay the bill on the table for i the balance of the session. Mr Huchan&n, from Coweta, opposed the motion, ; because a reform was necessary upon the subject.— There was no difference in degree, only in quantity, j bet ween the Senate and House. The members of l both were elected at the same time by the same vote, and for the same term, and the only difference ! between them was. that one body was larger than ! the other, arid w ,en they came in the State House, | one turned to the right, and one to the left, tec.— He wished (by amending the bill,) to make the Sen i ate a more dignified body. He wished, therefore, : to divide the State into eight Senatorial Districts, | a lowing six Senators to each district, to hold office ; lor six years ; one third to go every two years, as in ; ihe Uni .ed States Senate. Tnis, he argued, would | save time and expense. Mr. Atkinson, of Camden, wished the motion to ! be carried, from the fact, that otherwise, it would j he cult ng up the Constitution indiscriminately and injudiciously, and in order to give the people a fair he would vote for the motion to lay | the bill on the table. Mr. Cone, of Bull >ck, supported the motion from ! the fact, that probably half or all would come from ; one or the same county, city, or town—that proba -1 bly one half or all would come from Savannah, and ; ‘hey were the last people in the world that he would | confide the interest of a State to. [Great Laughter.] Mr. Harris, of Worth, finally withdrew his mqt •ion to lay the bill on the table, for the balance of j the session. The bill was then referred to a special Committee of five. The Committee are, Messrs. Fambro/Bu chauan, Cone, Slaughter and Gibson. A bill to repeal an act to authorize the Justices of the Inferior Court, of certain counties therein nam ed, to lay off the counties into School Districts, so far ex relates to Walton County. Passed. | The evidence in the Burke County contested sena torial election case was referred. A bill to change the time of holding the Superior Courts in the Cherokee Circuit. A substitute was i offered by Mr. McC&znel, which was adopted, and the bill thus amended was passed, and the ume of hold i ing tho Courts in the different counties are as fol lows : G -rdon—On the Ist and 2d Mondays in April and October. Murray—On the 3d Mondays in April and Octo | ber. Whitfield—On the 4th Mondays in April and Oct. “ Ist “ “ May. “ 4th “ “ October. “ Ist 11 l£ November. Catoosa—On the 2d and 3d Mondays in May and I November. Walker—On the 4tli Mondays in May and No vember. Dade—On the Ist Mondays in June and De cember. A resolution wai adopted, that a Joint Commit [ tee from the Semite, with one from the House, be j appointed to examine into the condition of the as- BeU, and extents of the liabilities of all the banks ! that have suspended specie payments in this State, | and to report the actual condition of the same, from I an inspection of the assets of said banks. The Senate adjourned until 10 o'clock to-morrow. H 0l f BE. ! The Bank Report and Substitute Bill being the | special order for to day, it was taken up, by sec- I tiona. Mr. Pickett, of Gilmer, moved to amend Ist con dition of Bill, by striking out all after the words “to wit,” and inserting an amendment to the effect that all Banks whose bills have been received at the Treasury should give bond and security to the Governor for tho payment of the public dues in Specie to such an amount as the public wants should require. Lost. Mr. Kenan, of Baldwin,, moved to amend tho original section, by striking out from said Ist Condi tion the words “claiming its notes to be received at ihe Treasury for public dues,” and insert in lieu thereof, *’whose notes have been received a‘ the Treasury, in payment of public dues/’ Adopted. On motion of Mr. Kunau.of Baldwin, ajnendmeut as am nded, was laidou tho table for tho balance of the session. 2d, Cond.tion of bill read—motion to strike it out of the bill lost. A rcsoiu.rion was received from the Senate in re forence to the appointment of a Committee to ex nnv.ue the state of the Bank* in this State, and oon ; currence of the askad.

The hi Condition, as amended, was finally passed. The effect of the amendment is to prevent any j Bank issuing, after Ist January, 1868, any note or bill under the deuiuninutioo i f ffve dollars. Mr. Daniel, from Telfair, offered an amendment J ip lieu of 3d condition. Lost. The object of the amendment, as said by the I mover, was to protect the merchants in relation to the oiiaigepf Banks for bills of exchange, and to regulate the same oh a fair basis.

Mi Kenan, of Baldwin, moved to recommit.— Lost. House adjourned until 9 j o’clock, A. M. Another aay. you will perceive, has passed away arid the Bank Bill still •‘drags its alow length along through the Legislature. The opposition to many of the provisions of this bill is sirem uous and per severing. Its foee have met its pact *g“ at step With the most dogged deterxniuaucu. i*.w amendments offered are sufficient indications of the nature of the feeling against the bill. The discus sion upon the merits of this bill, as far as it has come under m/ notice, evince* no disposition on the part of the opponents of the Banks to withhold relief from them bv staying proceediugs on the part of the Governor The reeling. thus far, is to authorise (or rather legalize would perhaps be a better term) the suspension The mam object sought to be accom plished by the oppouems of the bi l was to have in corporate auvnig the pro* isions of it a measure for the relief of citizen* ; o-e property was under exe cution. ULCt r process of ’aw The* object eonght to ; be accomplished *■*• to this measure of relief to the citizens limited only 10 the extent of time of the indulgence granted to the Banks. If Mr Gor , don • amsadment. wfciah tasks to avoid the eonsii- tuticnal objections of most of the amendments offer ed, should come up on the recommitment of the bill, as doubt lees it will, there is feeling enough in its fa vor, I think, to insure its adoption.

The Committee to whom waa recommitted the Bank Bill, asked more time and that their report and bill be made the special order for Tuesday next. The Committee to whom was referred the bill for the pardon of J. Black, sentenced to death for mur der, reported that the Legislature had the power to commute the punishment to perpetual imprison ment. The bill was read the third time, The Clerk read the evidence in the case, and a petition from a portion of the citizens of Habersham county, to commute his punishment, on the ground that the offence was manslaughter and not murder. Also, a petition from a portion of the citizens of said county, against commuting. The petition re presents that Black had been in the Penitentiary for an attempt to murder, and was generally considered a bad character. He bad shot a little giri in the eye, and for this act was put in the Penitentiary for two years. Within a month after his release he com mitted the murder for which he has been sentenced to death. Mr. Hillyer, of Walton, spoke for the prisoner. He examined the character of the petitions, and en deavored to show that the onerigainst the prisoner was entitled to little credit He contended that the crime was manslaughter, and if this could be clearly shown, it was the imperative duty of the Legislature to commute the punishment.

Correspondence of the Chronicle 4* Sentinel. Speech of Judge Thomas, of Elbert, at >lil legeville, Nov. IS, 1537. At such a time as this, when party and its arro c gant claims, appear leady to override every consid eration which would look to a firm and deliberate maintenance es oar political equality and rights un der constitutional guarantees, it should be a source of pride and gratification to us to have an opportu nity to listen to the fervid and glowing eloquence of a public man who will not suffer himself to be fetter ed with the ignominious trammels which party dic tation may impose. The loftiness of spirit, inde pendence of character and honesty of heart of the distinguished speaker entitle his opinions to the calm consideration and caretul investigation of every reflective mind. In this degenerate age, in which party has become the huge Moloch to which every political right is to be sacrificed, if in conflict with party aggrandizement, the advent of one who will dare to stand up, in the dignity of manhood and solemnly declare that party considerations dwin dle and sink into insignificance and nothingness when urged at the expense of the constitutional rights and privileges of a great section of the country, merits, at least, a passing notice. The opinions he advances upon the one political question of the day (for there is, in truth, but one question looming up and overtopping all others c clothed in the impassion ed eloquence which springs from a warm, impulsive and patriotic heart, and under the guidance of a sincerity of purpose, never, even for a moment, questioned, are entitled to a weight almost oracular. The heart thrills as they speak to its warm pulsa tions in the living light’ of truth. But to the speech this tribute of a master mind to the great interests and constitutional rights and privileges of the South, which we most earnestly commend to the calm and dispassionate consideration of every intelligent free man of Georgia. We are in the midst, said the speaker, of a great struggle, upon the result of which depends not only the interests of slavery, but the political equality and constitutional rights and privileges of the South itself. (The Judge does not believe the battle won vet. though other political speakers would indicate such to be the factj Then followed a glowing re view of the slavery question irom the organization of the gov rmnenl, its agitation in ‘2O, its renewal ag&m on the t .asage of tne Compromise of 1830, which gave the South all she asked, and her final j triumph, in the establishment of that bill, of the prin ciple she contended for, bringing the subject in an eioqu*: * a*rd graphic manner down to the present time, wh... .ir- h**u6* springing ont of the fc.&nsas bill were pro**—., *teadily now upon ±e public mind for a solution. The principle gained in tne Compro mise of *SO was embodied in the Kansas bill in the form of Unc—tke laic of the land. But the Kansas bill did not stop there, it conceded slaves to be pro perty This was the concession of a principle worthy to base party considerations upon alien fea ture contained in the bill, of which, however, he was no eu ogist, he, thought a cheap purchase for uch concessions. He would rather allow every Dutchman, irishman. German, yea, he had almost saiG Hottentot in the country to vote rather than give them up. These features gained the bill the approbation of the Georgia Legislature. Upon this was the last Presidential contest fought and won, all other issues wers totally ignored hers at the South. There was but one feature and only one, that controlled the vote of the South: ‘J hat the Georgia man and the AlassackuscUs man kadequos rights in Kansas. Mr. Buchanan, in his ” letter of acceptance,” met the issue thus tendered and stood pledged to see the principle maintained. Thee.ec tion was a very close one: a change of five thou sand votes in either New Jersey, PenDsylvaniaor Illinois would have insured bis defeat. Mr. Bu chanan waa elected, and now when every man m the South should be sitting down in peace and quiet under hia own vine and Dg tree, what waa the con dition of public affairs Tbia principle, thus announced in the contest, was not a party tenet; it stood far above that —it was the supreme law of the land. Every official of the land is bound by his oath to obey it as the law of the l&ud. Mr. Buchanan had promised when a candidate before the people to maintain thi3 princi ple ; his oath when inaugurated bound him to see “that the laws of the land were faithfully executed.'* This Kansas bill was the law of the land. W here is the man who will d&re to stand up in the blaze of day and say the law was faithfully executed ? Have not the Georgia Democracy in their 3d resolution solemnly pronounced upon the President ? The Democracy have been charged with dodging this question. He was sorry to say there was too much truth in the charge to deny iL His friends had remonstrated with him on ac count of hia course—they said it would break up the party. If the Northern Democracy could not stand the fair operation of this principle in ths bill, he desired to know of what use they were to the South. Principle should never give way to party considerations. He wished his position known—he was for maintaining the rights of his section in the Union if possible ; if not, he was for maintaining them at ail costs. He had been urged to wait—give the President a hearing. Walker w&3 condemned without a hearing, and he saw no reason for a different course to be pursued. But why wait ? Did not Mr. Buchanan’s oath bind him to see that the people of Kansas were “/c/2 free” to regulate their domestic institutions as they pleased Free from what ? Free from threats—free fragfl bribery—free from persuasion. Where was man at the Sodth Who would stand up and say had been done? Look at Walker's defen<v—4p* isothermal theory and his isothermetical coi. item of country. Whenever a man begina to udptbe Dictionary, look sharp or you will be cheate..^^| But, be would ask, were not the resolutions Abed upon this subject right 1 Was a man in Gc ‘gia to be found who would stand up and say they aro xteff • right ? They were right, and were now in thunder tones to the President’s heari,JpßlßSng him the principle to which he owes hia I been violated. Justification of Mr. BuchadK iiHd I been attempted by saying the tion in Kansas had endorsed Walker. he I should like to know, could a meeting of theAßaiO- | cracy set aside the law of the land. Party may re- I lieve from platforms, but not from the of the law —the Almighty alone could relieve this, and he was not one of those who saw the fingeM of the Almighty in this. A.re the Democratic party prepared to endorse the principle that a convention of the parly can release a public officer from the obligations of his oath ? Goa forbid. But there is a reason for this course on the part of Mr. Buchanan, and be would give it. The South ern delegates to the Cincinnati Convention refused to vote for Mr. Buchanan on the first ballotinge They were afraid to trust him on this question. For his part he (Mr. TANARUS.) felt mortified when Mr. B.’s nomination was announced to him. He desired a man fully committed to this me&eure. He had never denied refusing a place on the electoral ticket. It was a matter of deep mortification to me to be deceived in Mr. Buchanan, whose flag I had borne in the contest and for whom I had made pledges.— But there ie also another reason—Mr. Buchanan has always allowed himself to be controlled, to a great degree, by the public press The feeling in dicated through the press, at the North, in favor of Walker’s policy, caused Mr. Buchanan to fear the destruction of the Democratic party. Mr. Buchan an feared the Northern Democracy'would not stand this test. But they would stand the test; the North ern Democracy—the fifty-one returned to Con gress—would stand firm. Let the Georgia Demo cracy stand firm, and if the Northern Democracy did not stand, what use were they to the South.— But those who condemn Walker, say, don’t con demn the King without a hearing ; but where is the consistency in condemning Walker without a hear ing. His doctrine was, if you condemn Walker with out a hearing, condemn the King without a hearing Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander. If the Democracy backed down from their position, he thought the American party ought to beat them. But, says one, “let us give nim a fair and impar tial hearing.” Well, now he bad this to answer : If Mr. Buchan an spoke at all be must endorse or disapprove. If he endorsee Walker, he will prove false to the prin ciple upon which he was elected—if he disapproves he will have suffered a violation of a public law’ which he had sworn to see executed. But is there a man in Georgia who will believe Mr. Buchanan if he dees disapprove ? But Mr. Buchanan does not disapprove, for Gov. Walker remained in close con sultation with the President for several days at Wash ngton, and immediately after promulgated his opinions, and Mr. Buchanan uttered not a word of disapproval. When we complain, in the most respectful terms, his organ pronounces the complaint “ungracious.” He could mid lime, however, to an swer the letter of the New England Clergyman, though not'a man of them voted for bin—not a word, however, to the Georgia Democracy. And this is the return for voting for him In preference to Mr. Fillmore. He loved Mr. FiUfoore—he wqs a great and good man. lie could not vote for Mr, Fillmore because he did not meet this question as he desired, but still he loved him as a man, a great, good and patriotic man. What were the Democracy gomg to Jo ? Where are you going ? Look at the ex ample oFCbe Wfog party in ’4 1 , and learn the los son it teaches. 1 ‘ Stand firm to your principles. Mr. Toombs’ speech in Washington pledges him to refuse to con firm the nomination of Walker. The Administra tion organ endorses Mr. Toomb3 as a Democratic triumph. The fact was significant. The Adminis tration feurs the Georgia Democracy. Three limes has Georgia bid defiance to federal authority— neither threats nor bayonets had deterred her. The General jGrOvernEHmt, like Falstaff, had considered “discretion the better part or *alor.” Georgia has never bowed her crest; stand firm then to your principles, and never let it be said it was reserved to tlie r pempor*cy to write her disgrace in the his tory whtten in ’5,. Milledg.eville, Nicy. 20,1857. For the Chronicle 4* Sentinel. “ That Petition.” Mr. Editor.- The Constitutionalist, of last Satur day, very modestly undertakes to state the princi. pal provisions of a bill by which certain important changes foay bo made in matters connected with our municipal government, ug which ii i* intended that the Legislature shall be properly advised and prompted, to act intelligently in the premises. I do not know influence the Constitutionalist has with the present Legislature or the Democratic party. lam satisfied, however, that its pretensions have not been recognii?ed by either, to such an ©5- tent as to place it in position to indicate truly what is proper to be done by the Legislature or by the pemocratiG party, for the municipal government of tne citizens of Augusta. I have not the time, and if I had, I doubt if yqu would spare the space in your paper, which would be required to notice fully the argument of the Con stitutionalist ; I will, therefore, confine my remarks £o the ponsideration of a few points. In the first place then, I ask attention to the im pression attempted to be produced, that the petition has been signed “by a majority of the legal voters of this city,” and the loop hole provided to escape from censure if it should be ascertained that such is not the fact. It says, “apetition ? signed, as we are in formed, by a majority of the legal voters of this cityand again, 11 the petition is signed (such is cur information, as we have already remarked) 4 by a majority of the legal voters of the city of Augus ta aud the argument is, that this fact (if it is a fact) gives it (the petition) the strongest claim to the favorable consideration of the members of the Leg islature. Now, as there is a list of the legal voters of the city it appears to me that the Constitutiona list could easily have Verified the truth of the state” ment, and in a matter of so much Importance it cer tainly should have done go—and here lam tempted to venture the suggestion that, instead of dispen sing with the certificates of registry now required by law, that certificates should be required of aH who sign petitions affecting the municipal affairs of the city. Under such a requirement, I have no doubt but that the petition referred to would have had a considerably less number of signatures. I also ask attention to the position assumed by the Constitutionalist, with regard to the election of members of Conncil by general ticket ; it says in one place, “under the law as it at present exists, tfie members of Council are elected by the voters in their respeptiye ward, and are often returned up on mere local issues, or to subserve some more lo cal interest and yet in another place it says, “these officers” (whose salaries or perquisites exceed four hundred dollars) “are now elected by the City Council—such is the law— but the fact is, they elect the members of that body. ’ Now, these facts, if they are facts and not mere insinuations, controvert each other and do not lead to the conclusions adopt ed by the Constitutionalist. Suppose for instance, that it is true that the officers do elect the City Council; to do this it is obvious that they have the power of doing it, and it appears to me to be a fair inferrence that under the new law they will have the power to elect themselves and the Council too. Suppose again, that the members of Council are elected upon local issues to subserve local interests, these jocal issues and interests can not be suppressed by the Legislature, and will not be by the proposed bill, and it is proper that they should not be sup pressed ; and it is probable that If the Legislature gave the election of our Council to all the citizens of the State of Georgia, that the influence of these local issues and interests would be found upon them. If it is so desirable to suppress local issues and in terests in a city of Georgia for the purpose ot secur ing men of “character and weight,” and intelli gence, &.c., the same principle could as well be ap plied to the several counties for the purpose of secu ring men of character, &c., in the State Legislature, ana the principle, if correct in its application to our little municipality, could with propriety, be extend ed to the whole Union for the purpose of securing men of “character and weight” in our Congress. The advocacy of this principle should be left to fede eral ooneoiidationista. for I trust the Constitutionalist and the Democracy have no tendency that way, although appearances at present indicates that they are gradually coming to it. The Constitutionalist , as well as the petitioners | referred to, know that in all political partied there is a certain amount of dirty work to be done, and that there are certain men always ready and willing to do it, either with a view of participating in the spoils, or from love of the excitement. They should know, too, that this is the inevitable result of the levelling system, by which in elections tee votes of men of character and weight are negatived by those of bullies, plug-uglies, dog-fighters, and violators of the decency and propriety of society. In conclusion. I beg leave to remind the citizens of Augusta of the fable of the Fox and the Swallow, for the proposed change indicates the existence ot a very hungry swarm, ready to take tee place of those the Legislature have been asked to drive away.

Mr. Editor : I venture to say teat no county in our noble State cm offer mjre inducements to capitalists to make a profitable investment of their means, or to the farmer, mechanic, or day-laborer a more remunerating price for their labor, than the county of Dade. I speak advisedly when saying, that for tee raising of wheat, rye. oats and Indian corn, tee Lookout Valley excels any other valley in tee State. The mountains abound with coal and iion, and other minerals. We have already open* ; ed mines of Bituminous Coal, tee strata averaging ! from 7to 9 feet thick.

Tornado io Gwinnett County—l.oss of I.lfe. Mr. Editor :—The following account of a sin gular storm or whirlwind, that passed over a por tion of our county a few days since, may interest your readers. Its first appearance, so far as I know, was on the premises of a Mr. Stancii, near McAfee’s Bridge—and so powerful was the wind, that a youth who was passing, by the name of W T aits, found ddii culty in getting in the house, although the house wasbutside ofthetraekjUMk which swept tL-.’ugk n ijrmr ~f iiirT* 30 wide.

The Inmates of the house were eovareu up with the roof and timbers of the house, but not one of them were hart. A coroner’s inquest was j held over the body of the deceased, and the verdict J in accordance with the above facts. The storm only traveled three or four miles, sweeping every* tbinkbeiore it.

Senator from Alabama. —The Legislature of Alabama has fixed Saturday next for the election of United States Senator. The only candidate is the Hon. C. C. Clay, the present Senator. Wilmington and Manchester Railroad.— We learn from the Wilmington Journal, that ou Friday afternoon, the stockholders in the above Company proceeded to the election of President and Directors. Pending action, considerable ds. cuision took place. A\m. S. Mullins, Esq., of South Carolina, leaving received a majority ot all the votes cast for Presi dent, was declared elected to that office for the en suing twelve months. The old Board of Directors was re elected, the vacancy caused by the removal to the West of Mr. Muldrcw, of South Carolina, having been filled by Mr. Mays, of the same .State. The issue of three hundred thousand dollars of preferred stork, being part of the scheme for the relief of this Company, brought forward by the President and Directors, and approved by the stock holders, and some doubt being felt as to the power of the Company, under its charter, to issue sudh stock, a resolution was passed instructing the Pic Bident and Directors to apply to the Legislatures of the States of North and South Carolina for such pow ers, should it appear upon examination tjtqt they are not already possessed of them. A resolution, complimentary to the late Presi dent, was unanimously passed. Railroads in Tennessee.— From the report of the Commissioner, we learn that there are now G 35 miles of finished Railroad in that State. The roads completed and commenced amount to ICOO miles. The Nashville News says . “The total actual estimated cost of 1385 miles is $23,811,73!) —an average of $20,820 per mile. The gtate aid granted and to be granted to these roads, whose costis here given, is 416,405,001). The whole amount of aid pledged by cite State to the compa nies which have completed their roads, or placed parts thereof under contract, amounts to $19,096,000. The amount of aid granted and to be granted to the finished roads aud to those now in actual progress pf construction, is $15,615,000 —leaving $3,615,000 ao themv. pledged Jo thoie “ompanles which hate suspended operations. The'Commissioner arrives at. the conclusion, that it may be safely estimated that the prospective liability of the State under its General Improvement System, will not exceed *16,000,000. Cl inic la New York—Terrible Condition of So defy. If half what is said about New York by the jour teSijj of that city, regarding the increase of crime and terrible condition or society there, bo tree—and we presume all is not told—a fearful condition of things must indeed exist. The Herald of Friday pays; “The increase of crime in our midst is truly alarming, and enough to make the stoutest heart quail. Within tile past three days we have been called upon to chronicle the murder of no less than three persons, and the mortal wounding of four others. Where the carnival of blood is going to end we know not. Citizens can no longer resort to the public highways after nightfall without the fear of s idden death beneath the bravo’s steel. The kill ing of young Hamilton in a drinking saloon in Ca nal street marked the commencement of tne bloody epoch. “The following night Francis Vincent was mur dered in North William street; William Marshall, the negro, was mortally wounded in West Broad way, and a grocery man, in Seventeenth strtet, named Fraser, received a fatal stab while ejecting a rowdy from ins store. Scarcely twenty four hours had elapsed when we were again horrified by a wholesale butchery at a (lance house in Water street. The following table of the names of those who have died, and those who are now dying from the effects of wounds received at the hands of assassins, will give our readers gome idea ot the extent of crime in the metropolis since Monday morning last: 1— Henry F. Hamilton, jinurdered in Canal street. 2 Francis Vincent, murdered in North William street. 3 McManus, murdered in Water street. 4 William Marshall, (colored) mortally wounded, corner of West Broadway and Canal street, 5 John Fraser, mortally wounded in West Seventeenth street. 6 Richard Barrett, mortally wounded m Water Street. t —Susan Dempsey, mortally wounded in Water s rpet. [Since dead.] “Coroner Connery and Hills were, busily engaged yesterday in holding Inquests upon the bo’di sos the victims.” We presume there is no exaggeration in this brief but expressive compendium. It is an absolute state ment of terrible facts, confirmed by all the papers published in that great metropolis. So portentious, Indeed, has become the evils com plained of, that the Advetiser of Friday afternoon, shortly prior to its going to press, ascei tainod from reliable sources that the grand jury of the city and county had under consideration a presentment in relation to the necessity of taking immediate mea sures for the preservation and protection of life and property of the city during the winter. This present ment, says the Advertiser, w ould probably be made by the grand inquest to the Court #f Sessions yester day afternoon. All must regret the existence of so deplorable a condition of things in New York, or in any other civilized community. —Baltimore l’atrwt. Conflagration in Mobile.— A fire is now rag ing in the Hay store of Messrs. ,Savage & Cos. on Commerce street which even threatens to extend to the Ship Chandlery store oi Mr. C. Brewei next South. The store ofMessrs. L. Merchant & Cos , in which the flames were first discovered, is completely destroyed and the efforts of the fire department are now being ‘ irected to saving the surrounding build ings. The sufferers so far are L. Merchant & Cos., Sohi effelin & Crozier and Savage & Cos. How many more are tosustaiu loss remains to beseen. The pyrotechnieal display, which the fire makes, is one of the most brilliant we ever beheld. Another Fire. —While the buildings on Com merce were completely enveloped in flames the bed tolled an alarm for another fire in the second district when two of the companies were dispatched lo the new scene of conflagration. The extent ot the damage, or the exact location of the second fire we have not yet been able to learn. We are informed however, that two or three frame buildings near the corner of Canal and Warren street were burned. —Mobile Register of Saturday morning. Fight with an Eagle— Tiro Men Attacked .— We learn from an altogether reliable source that two men were attacked one day last week on Side ling HiU by a large gray eagle. The eagle flew at the throat of one of the men, who was a short dis tance from the other, but the blow was warded off. The eagle then struck him through the wrist with his claw, when they e’osed and fell to the gro nnd in a fearful struggle. The otherman had his gun w ith him, but was prevented from firing by fear of kill ing his friend. He ran immediately to his assis tance, and cut the throat of the eagle. It measured nine feet between the tips of its wings. —Bedford (Pa.) Chronicle. A Great Dam.— The New Haven Paladium has a description of a mammoth dam now in process of construction in the neighborhood of that city. Its breadth at the base is thirty-one feet. It will be thirty feet high and four hundred and fifty feet long, with a water race of one hundred and fifty feet. — The overflow forming the lake will cover 200 acres of land, aDd extend back between two and three mites. A large number of houses on the river banks will have to be removed in consequence. Many of the rocks composing the structure, weigh over four tons each. This dam will be used for manufacturing purposes for the present, but is bait with reference to the contemplated introduction of water into the city of New Haven. Important Masonic Movement. —The Grand Encampment of Knights Templar ot Ohio, a few weeks since, passed a resolution, severing all con nection with the General Grand Encampment of the United States, and taking a position as an inde pendent body, the reason given therefor being that the United States Encampment had virtually dis banded by its own action. This course was dis sented from by a portion of the members, and a few evenings since the Cincinnati Encampment unani mously passed a resolution offered by the Grand j Master of the Order in the State requesting the Grand Encampment to meet again at an early day and reconsider their action. It is said that this movement will operate to the disorganization of the Templar Order in Ohio if persisted in. Acqcittal of Abil. —The excitement created by the shooting of Everson by Able, in Memphis, last spring, will not have been forgotten. Abel has just had bis trial and has been acquited. The evi dence for the State went to show that Everson at tacked Abel, and that in the meiee. the pistol went off. The evidence produced and the result attained show how little reliance should be placed upon re ports made at the time of such occurrences. When it occurred report said that it was a cool, deliberate murder, and yet the evidence offered by the State proved no deliberation, and at best throws a doubt on its intentionality. “ Good for this Tf.'P Only. —At a recent trial in Broome county.

I assumed command tor reasons which 1 conceive to be of the greicr importance to the troops and thei.'supplies, and ot 1 Thich I shall have the honor t o make a itdi report whest n safe and more certain opportunity of sei'ding despatches presents iteelf. At present 1 c<iti give only a state ment of what Las occurred since my arrival, and report the uispoeiUon I have determined tu make of tilt- troops. Oa the day after reaching Ham's Fork, and at the tirst camp I made on it. I received the enclosed letters from Gov. Voting and Lieut. Gen. Wells. Tin:- propositions they contain, however absurd they are showed conclusively that a determined opposi tion to the power of the government was intended. I had met Capt. Van Viiet on the 21st September, returning from Salt Lake City, and was informed by hitp that although the Mormons, or rather Gov. Vo mg, were determined to oppose an entrance into the city, yet he was assured that no armed resis tance would be attempted if we went no further than Fort Uridger end Fort Supply. I was still further convinced of this by the circumstance that a train of more than one hundred contractors’ wagons had been parked for nearly throe weeks on Ham's Fork without defence, and had been unmolested, gdiuough they contained provisions aud supplies f wi iei. would have been of great U3e to the Slor- receiving these letters, I prepared for de- to guard the supplies near us until the nb&fibt troop.: came up. I replied to Gov. Young’s letter, ajjiupy of which i inclose, and have not had any fuitter coreopondtnee whit him On the morning of thepßh of October the Mormons burnt two trains of gßprnmsnt stores on Green river and on the Big Sdy, and a few wagons belonging to Mr. Per- HRih-r if the 10th Infantry, which were a few behind the la'ter train. Col. Waite, of the ■fifth,though u- - anticipating any act. of the kind, pv'its preparing to send back a detachment to these trains from his camp on Black’s Fork when he re ceived irom some teamsters who canto in the intel keence of their being burned. Xo doubt uow r ex ited that the most determined host it :y might be expected on the part of the Mormons, aud it be came necessary, from the extreme lateness of the season, to adopt some immediate course for win tering the trjops aud preserving the supply trains with ns. After much deliberation, and assisted by the coun sel of the senior others, I have determined to move tiro troops by the following route : Up Ham’s Fork about 18 miles, to a road'oalled Sublette's Cut-ofl; along that road lo Bear river and Soda Springs ; on arriving at Soda Springs two routes will be open— one down Bear river valley, towards the Sait Lake, and one to the northc-at, towards the Wind river Mountains, where good rallies for wintering the ; troops and stock can be found. The adoption of one j of these will be decided by the following circum . stances: If the force under my command is suffi cient to overcome the resistance which I expect to meet at Soda Spring, I shall endeavor to force my way into the valley of Bear river and occupy some of the Mormon villages, because I am under the im pression that the Mormons, alter a defeat, will be willing to treat and bring provisions for sale. The supplies on hand will lust six months, end if lean gedposstssionQi n town in Lear river valley, 1 can easily fortify and licit it ali winter. There “are also several supply trains in the rear, to which I have commitnieat td, and if they receive my letter in time tiiey will be saved aud can join us. If the Mor in ;>ns are too strong for us, which I do not anticipate, the other read will be adopted and 1 wi'l make the btst of tny way lollie mountains aud lent for the wilder. I desire to imprecs upon you tits fact that I, though net the commander appointed to this army, have adopted this course because the safety of the troops absolutely depends upon an immediate effort, and having inform “ n which makes it certain that the commander will ti<-t teach here before the 20th inst-., and if we vcm unt ; l that time we eaunot leave the valley. Theim’ rui .iiottl ai udetois to the effect that Col. Johnston had relieve! Gen. If urn ey and had not left Fort Leavenworth on the 10th of Septem ber, and thirty days is lite least possible lime in which he can arrive here. 1 cannot, for fear of this being interrupted, tell you the strength of my com mand or send returns of it. It is strong enough to defend itself and its supplies; whether it is able to assume and sustain nu offensive position remains to be seen. But should the commands which I have heard are in the rear come up }n time, 1 think we will have sufficient force to carry out an active in vasion. If we are'obliged to Winter in the moun tains, you can perec.v ■ by a reference to Standbu ry’s maps that we will have an open road to Salt Lake City in the spring, end one which lam told is early, iiythis one attacu Con be made and atten tion called Irom the main read, (that by Fort Bridg et-,) which may then us traversed by t. cops. The Bear river route is, however, sail! to be the best one in the vadey. The other parses through canons that can be defended by a handful against, thousands, and it is moreover •> easily obstructed that in a week it. CuuM bo made utterly impassible. The want of cavalry is seveiely felt, and we are power lesson account of this deficiency to effect any chas tisement of the marauding bands that are constant ly hovering about us. Oa the 7th inst. 1 detached Gapt. Maicy, sth Infantry, with four companies, to Gren rivet', to collect,what he could Una service able of the burnt trains aud t > disperse any bodies of Mormons he found. In conclusion, permit me to express the hope that my acts w iil meet the approval of the government, and on the first opportunity I will make a fuller and more detailed report. It is unquestionably the du ty of (lie governnu nt lo quell by overwhelming force this treasonable rebellion of the Governor and .people of Utah, and I moat urgently iippyees upon ike War Department the fact that the small body of troops here will need reinforcements and sup plies as soon as they can possibly be got here next spring. I would further respectfully suggest that troops should be ‘scut from California and Oregon. It is said that the road from California lo Salt Lake is passable all winter, and it is certainly so much earlier in the spring than that from the States, Your obedient servant, K B. Alexander, Colonel loth Infant.y, commanding. Colonel Johnston lo ike Assistant Adjutant General. Headquarters Army of Utah, Camp on Y the Three Crossings of Sweetwater, V October 13, 1857. ) Major -To night two men who live at Fort -Laramie, and who had been sent on express to Col. Alexander, arrived at our camp ou then- way back. From them I learn that the Mormons, having mt,,r posed a force in rear of our troops then encamped at Ham's Fork of Green river, succeeded in burn ing three supply trains, with their contents. A mes sage from Col. Alexander was sent by them to Col. C. F. Smith, instructing him to protect the trains in the rear, which contain the clothing, Sibley tents,. subsistence, wm. The orders with regard to the march of the cavalry aud companies of the Sixth having been countermanded, leaves Col. Smith with only twenty-two men. Forty teveu men of his command were left at Laramie a;; the Governor's escort. Lieut. Smith, of the Dragoons, is four days’ march behind us, with two companies of dragoons, the forty seven men of Col. Smith's command and twenty-five dragoons of my escort who were left at Laramie to come on with Lieut. Smith; his com mand will number about 250 men. I have ordered him to hasten forward and join Col. Smith’s com mand. We will march in the morning, and expect .to encamp with Col. Smith to-raorrow night. The express man, says Co'. A1 -xan-'er would attempt to reach the valley of Salt Lake by the Bear river ; it is much further than by the usual route, and why he selects it I could not learn, unless from the pro bability of the grass being burnt by the Mormons on the direct route. These men say that it is cer tain that they will burn Ihe grass on the route they are about to pursue. Under these circumstances, if I could communicate with Col. Alexander I would’ direct him lo tako up a good position for the winter at Ham's Fork. The road is beset between this and Ham’s Fork with companies of Mormons, so that it is doubtful whether I shall be a3l to communicate with Col. Alexander. With great respect, your obedient servant, A. S. Johnston, Col. 2d Cavalry, commanding Army of Utah. Major Irwin McDowell, Assistant Adjutant Gene ral, lieadq'.'artera of the Army, New York city. From Texas.—The norther which came down upon us on Saturday last, ttnd continued until Mon day, brought with it a frosty element which settled the prospects of the cotton crop in all the coast counties so far as we have heard from. In Harris, Fort Bend ana Brazoria counties the plant was completely killed, and we presume that the higher we go into the State the more sevetewas the frost. The bolis will now open and picking go fowaid with greater despatch. Had the cold weather held off a week or two longer the crop would have been much larger, as . the spring commenced a month later and the growing season is that much shorter than usual. The same paper notices large shipments of cotton direct from tue port of Galv, eton to Liverpool, 1,620 bales Thursday, per ship Houston; 1,380 Friday, ler ship Aus!'::; the brig South and bark Hubert Mills are alto loading with the same destination.— The News adds; There are several other vessels now in port which will probably soon commence loading with cotton for some Europ tu port. In fact, the circumstances of the times seem to be opening a direct trade to Europe sooner than had been anticipated. The new ship, the National Guard, will be here next month, for the purp se of taking a cargo of cotton to Liverpool, and she is said to is- capable of carry ing 3,00(1 bales. The cotton taken by the vessels we have named will amount to some 11,000, or 12,- 000 bales. —Galveston News, lllhiust.

Another Case of Alleged Cruelty on an American Packet shif.— Suras; excitement was caused yesterday by a rumor to tba effect that the captain aDd officers of the American packet ship Iraac Webb baa behaved with great cruelty during ; the voyage from New York to Liverpool, and had I caused the death of one of the crew, named Williams, j Upon inquiry we learned that coo,plaints Lad cer- I taintv been made to the police authorities that such cruelties had been practised, and five of the crew had beeu taker, to the American Consul in charge ( of detective officers. Upon investigating the affair, j however, the statements of the men were found to j i be so vague and confused that the Consul could | I take do further ftps in the matter utitill more cor- j roborative evidence is brought forward. Ibe cep- i tain and officers of the ship, we understand, deny j that they used any unnecessary severity, and state that Williams, died a nutural death, and was buried at sea. So the matter stands at present, but the police “state that clearer evidence of the charge is iikefy to be be forth coming —Liverpool, Sov. 5. Pork. —We occasionally bear enquiries in regard to the price Pork is likely to start at. A; yet the figures are net settled—sellers want six cents ; but we have heard of no sales at that price. We are always gratified when farmers can get good pri-ea for their labor—they ~re the bane and muscle of the land, ana largely entitled to the fruits thereof : but it is simply foolish to expect that when mm is worth onlv from iio to 3tt cents p r bushel, perk, or bacon, will command as high a figure as when the grain that makes it is worth Jo ecu's or one dollar. Money •3 scarce, and wiii necessarily continue 60 for a twelvemonth, if not longer, property and produce of every description must come down, and we had as well all make up our minds to it at once, for there is no escaping it.

Died, suddenly, on tho 13th ult, Col. BOOKER W. HUBBARD, at nis residence in Simaton, Oglethorpe county, aged fifty-eight years. A portion of hh youth was spent in Washington. Wilkes county, wlr re he attached to himself many friends. The remainder of his life was passed in Ogle* thorge—the place of his nativity. He was repeatedly called by his fellow-citizens to serve the county in both branches of tho Legislature; and in other relations of a public nature he made his tal ents and influence useful. Ilis death is a public calami ty. The poor, especially, hav lost in him a generous, tender and sympathizing friend. His ‘quality of merry was not strained, but fell upon the needy, like the dew of Heaven on t e earth beneath.” No appeal to his heart for piety, or to his purse for aid, was ever made iu vain. His ear was always ODen to the ery of distress an 1 bis hand ready to assist or i elieve ; trouble and grief in a fellow creature const : tutcd, with him, an admitted claim to the heritage of a common nature and brother hood. He was favored by nature with a manner the most cordial and winniDg—throwing the charm of good nature and kindliness over every circle be graced by his pres ence. His genial, cheerful, happy mood was contagio s; and, tl rough life, his wit, humor and social qualities have been sources of delight and pleasure to every com pany he entered. His justice and judgment were emi nent, attracting thoonfide;ice of liis neighbors, causing him to be often chosen as a referee in controversies and affording him an • pportunity to exercke the bie.ssei part of peacs maker, lie avoided no responsibili'y that duty placed on him—but life's struggles never soured bis spir its. Delicacy and cous.derat on for the feelings of others of every class, marked all bis actions; and in many a grateful heart is now treasured some act of exquisite urbanity received at his hands. He was a faithful friend—a loving brother—a kind master. But the silver cord is 100 ed, the golden howl is broken, and he rests in the bosom of his mother earth ! We shall see him no more in life, but there are hundreds scattered all over the South who, in reviewing the past, aud numbering up the companies of their youth w ill re call with a sad pleasure, the manly, kind and winning ways of Col. Wootson Hubbard. Died at Wooalawn, near Augusta, on tho 16th of Oc tober, Mrs. ALBINA C. DOZIER, consort of E. J. Do zier, aged 31 years. Mrs. Dozier professed religion in early life, and attach ed herself to the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she continued a worthy member through life. She was a woman of stiong mind and sterling integrity —remarka- bly candid and frank in her intercourse— yet warm iu her friendship. She was pleasing and prepossessing in her manners, and made warm f lends wherever she went. A devoted wife aud fond mother, was the natural conse quences of such a mind, aud well did she till and sustain her part, both as a christriau and member of society. •She haa left a husband and one child, together with nu rnerous relations and fiiends to mourn her loss; but we have reason to hope that their ‘‘loss is her eternal gain. pr Southern Christian Advocate will please copy. J Died, on the 13th inst., Mrs. AMELIA It GREEN, wife of John O. Green, of Burke county, Ga., at the age of 53. Twenty years ago, she united herself with the Meth odist Episcopal Church. The n-t of her life has been according to this beginning- tanilesfing a steady at tachment to the Church—and beautifully illustrating the power of true religion to adorn all the relations of life. In her intercourse with society, winning the love and benedictions of the poor and of the distressed, by her liberal aid and sympathizing counsels and the universal regard of her neighbors. But it was in her immediate home and family that Lor virtues shone with brightest lustre But it would ill-be come a stranger to intrude within that hallowed circle, and parade to the public. eye, the sweet and loving suavi ties clustering around tiie relation of w ife ?rid mother and mistress. Let these noble fruits f the life of tin Christian, wife and mother, be the pricelees legacy to her bereaved ones, and their ready consolation. Let these sweet memories reassure them that she has not passed from life to death, but only through death, to that real, substantial life of Immortality—in that, kingdom of eternal rest and glory, prepared by the Lord lor those who love Him.
