LARGEST CITY tIKCUI-ATIOS. ‘
Special Election.
At the election on Saturday, for an Alder
man of the Oth Ward, to till the vacancy occa
sioned the-removal of Alderman Meruhon from
the Ward, Mr. John Bunnell was elected, re- j
cciving :13 votes to 17 for George Huugertord,
The election turned upon the question of rati
fying the contract with Patten and Mustian
for the transfer of the city’s Muscogee Hail
Road Stock. Mr. Bunnell is for the ratifica
tion.
Loss oi tho Stoarnoat Union
Wo learn from Capt. Fry of the Steamboat
South Carolina, which arrived at our wharl
last Saturday from Apalachicola, that a few
days since, the steamers Union and Cusseta,
came in collision on the Apalachicola river in
a dense fog. The Cusseta was severely dam
aged above her water line, and will probably
le laid up a week for repairs. Tho Union
sunk immediatly in fifteen feet water. She
had on board 200 bales of cotton and a good
number of passengers. The passengers and
100 bales of cotton n-ert put on board the Har
riet which was near at the time, and the re
maining 50 bales, belonging to J. P. oaulding,
being in the hold, was lost.
Campbell Minstrels.
This very popular comic troupe, it will be
seen, will give several concerts in our city du
ring the present week. The Campbells are
no pretenders or cheats, but stand at the head
of the negro minstrel bands of tho country, and
always give unbounded satisfaction to their
audiences. Go to see them, if you want to
laugh out of your systems all the effects of the
cold weather and other troubles of winter.
It will be sceu by tho latest proceedings of
the House of Representatives, that party or
ganizations are not so strictly adhered to as
they liavo been heretofore. The large vote
given to Gov. Smith on the 30th indicates, we
think, a disposition on the part of the National
members to unite, though even then they may
not be able to elect. The plurality rule, too,
appears to be gaining favor, and its adoption
would bo followed by a speedy election.

The Oregon War.
According to tho accounts from Oregon and
Washington Territories, the hostile Indians
there number 5,000 or 0,000 warriors, and
most of them are said to have fire-arms. They
liavoulrcady shown that they fight with courage
and obstinacy ; and it is therefore evident that
the Government has a serious Indian war on
its hands in that quarter. If the expense of
reducing them to subjoction should bo any
thing like as groat, in proportion to numbers,
as the Florida war, the twenty-odd millions of
surplus in the Treasury will cease to be a source
of perplexity bofore its closo.

Protitless Discussion.
From tho commencement of the still endu
ring contest for tho Speakership to the present
time, the partisan press of the country have
been zealously engaged in discussing the ques
tion “Who is responsible?”—each journal, of
course, vindicating its own party friends and
throwing the blame of the failure to organize
upon its opponent. We are of the opinion,
however, that the whole matter is clearly un
derstood by tho country. Each faction consti
tuting the present House is chargeable to this
extent—it has refused to surrender its own or
ganization to secure tho election of a candi
date of another faction; it has preferred main
taining its present distinct character, without
a Speaker, to a union on principle, involving
the sacrifice of parti/, but securing an organi
zation. All parties at Washington are work
ing in view of the coining Presidential election,
and each is unwilling to throw into the hands
of another tho advantage which a control of
the committees and a direction of the business
of tho House would give it. This state of
things springs from the prevalent system of
legislating and caucusing with a view to party
advantage, and not to the true interests of the
country. It is a departure from the design
and ends of representative legislation, and it
is already festering with corruption and evil
consequences. In ordinary times, when only
two political parties contend for the mastery,
it seldom operates to the obstruction of the
wheels of government, because one or the oth
er can obtain a majority, however small; but
when local or other issues distract and divide
parties, as at present, the mischief deveolps
itself in impracticable minorities and obstruc
ted legislation. Expedients may for a time
obviate those, but the ouly true and lasting
remedy is a radical correction of the abuse
that has made tlio House of Representatives
at Washington a national arena for the re-en
actment of those electioneering performances
which the members severally went through
with before the people of their districts. It
must consist in the elevation of congressional
debates and business above the party har
angues aud tricks of tho hustings, and the
substitution of the statesman for the dema
gogue on the floors of Congress.
We are not, of course, condeming Southern
Representatives for resisting to the last the
election of Ranks or any other abolitionist to
the Speakership ; that is a matter of principle
as well as of safety to their own section and
its constitutional rights. Rut the causes that
provent tho union and co-operation of those
opposed to him and his doctrines spring from
the state of things wo have described, and are
the result of a preference of party to principle.

WinxuaiJAY, Jan. 30.
Senate.— The Senate met pursuant to ad
jounmeut. A motion to reconsider so much oi ;
“the journals of yesterday, as related to the :
Governor’s message upon the subject ot tho
Vermont resolutions, was lost —but only, after j
an animated discussion and an exhibition of
Southern spirit which revealed too plainly how
sanguinary the strife will lie when argument
shad have been exhausted and the strife of words
at an end.
Mr. McMillan led the radicals in this de
bate.
It was moved to reconsider so much of the
journals of yesterday ns related to the rejec
tion of the bill to lay out and organize anew
county from Union and Rabun, which was
u greed to.
So much of the journals of yesterday as re
lated to the appropriation for the Lunatic Asy
lum, was, upon the motion of Mr. Chastain,
reconsidered.
The following bills were then reported from
the House as passed :
A bill to lay out and organize a new’ county
from the counties of Thomas and Lowndes,
and for other purposes therein mentioned.
A bill to lay out and organize a now county
out of tin* comities of Lowndes, Irwin and Cof
foc, to bo called Berrien county, to attach the
same to the Southern Judicial Circuit, to tho
first Congressional district, and to the second
brigade and sixth division, Georgia Militia.
A bill to add additional sections to the four
teenth division of the Penal Code of the State
of Georgia.
The appropriation bill, for the completion of
the Lunatic Asylum, was referred to a commit
tee of live.
Tho report of the committee on adjournment
was agreed to, and such agreement ordered to
be communicated to the Ilouso forthwith.
On motion, the Senate adjourned until ten
o’clock to-morrow.
The Senate chamber will bo occupied this
afternoon by an exhibition of taticy articles,
the workmanship of the pupils of the Georgia
Institute for the dumb and blind, and to-night
by a musical concert from the same. If there
arc any objects of charity which should appeal
irresistibly to the heart of man, they are these
beings who have the comprehension to know
that they dwell in a land of beauty, where ev
ery tree and flower and murmuring brook is
vocal, ami yet arc not accorded by their Father
above, tho power of realizing the glorious vis
ion from which they are shut out.
Horst:.—The House met pursuant to ad
journment.
It was moved to reconsider so much of the
journals of yesterday, as related to the estab
lishment of a common shod system. The mo
tion prevailed. The necessity of educating the
masses lias forced itsolf irresistibly upon the
minds of all reflecting men ; but the chief ob
stacle which impedes the progress of this meri
torious cause, is a distrust of the efficacy of
any system yet presented, and a lively fear
that such an establishment will involve the
State in heavy expenditures, without confer
ring the contemplated benefits upon her chil
dren. Experience has taught us that the ele
ments of madness are in the composition of all
humanity, and if there is a necessity for Lu
natic Asylums, the necessity is ten fold stron
ger for a common school system.
The report of the joint committee on the
time of adjournment sine die, was read, naming
the 20th proximo as proper for such adjourn
ment. It appeared that in tho Senate, two
hundred and eighty bills yet remained to bo
acted upon ; in the House one hundred.
The special order of the day, the Brunswick
bill, was taken up—an animated discussion
ensued thereon. Several amendmenis were
offered and met their several fates. Fending
tho discussion, a motion for adjournment, un
til to-morrow ten o’clock, prevailed.
A Royal Freak.
111 all matters of political legislation or na
tional policy, tho Queen of Great Britain is of
course a more automaton, and no measure of
that diameter taken by the government indi
cates her own feelings or desires. But wepre
sumo that iu the regulation of her own house
hold affairs the case is different; and the dis
missal of Miss Murray, lately one of her maids
of honor, from the royal presence, is therefore
indicative of the deep-rooted personal preju
dice of the Queen of Great Britain against
slavery in the country. Miss Murray, it is
known, has lately been traveling in our South
ern Statos, and had expressed herself as satis
fied that the system of slavery existing here
was a blessing rather than a curse to the negro
race, it is reported that on her return the
Queen refused to see her, but signified to her
that if she published a defence of slavery she
must resign her place. This Miss Murray has
done, anil she is therefore banished from the
royal household, if the Queen of Great Bri
tain eottld only feed and clothe her own sub
jects (particularly the poor Irish) as comforta
bly as Southern negro slaves are provided for,
this royal rebuke of our institutions might he
entitled to moro weight; but under the cir
cumstances, the childishness and ignorance
which it displays are perfectly in keeping with
the folly of hereditary rule.

Congressional.
Washington, Jan. 81, —In the U. S. House
of Representatives to-day Mr. Cox offered a
resolution, which was rejected, to the effect
that the Democrats and National Americans
should first unite on Mr. Orr for Speaker, and
if lie were not elected, then to fall back 011 Mr.
Fuller. Mr. Hickman submitted a plurality
resolution, which lays over under the rule until
to-morrow, and it is believed that there will
bo then a better prospect of its being adopted.
Mr. Trippe offered an amendment to Mr.
Hickman’s resolution, declaring Mr. Smith, of
Virginia, Speaker. It was, however, defeated
by a vote of 110 to 100.
The Senate elected the proprietors of the
Union as Senate printers, aud adjourned until
Monday.
Feb. I.—ln the House, to-day, the resolu
tion to adopt the plurality rule was lost by
yeas 108 to nays 110. A resolution to elect
Oliver, of Missouri, Speaker, was lost.
Mr. Letcher offered a resolution that Messrs.
Orr, llauks aud Fuller confer together, and
report to-morrow a man for Speaker, if they
can agree.
Fob. 2, P. M.—Tho resolution declaring Mr.
Porter, Speaker, was tabled. And a motion
declaring Mr. Banks, Speaker, was negatived
by a vote of 102 to 115.
Cobb, of Alabama, introduced a resolution
declaring Mr. Aiken, Speaker, which was also
negatived, by a vote of 103 to 110.
From the National Intelligcucer,
Peruvian Tumuli.
“Bust thou art and unto dust tliou sl jrlt ie
turii.” In common with other creaturus, man
rises out of the earth, frets or frisks hi.-? allot
ted hour upon its surface, sinks into its bosom,
and is resolved back into its elements. tVlien
the spirit no longer requires it the tabernacle
of clay perishes; its crumbling materials melt
into their primitive fluids, and pass again and
again, as they had previously passed, into
mineral, vegetable, ana living forms. As the
molecules of our bodies are common to all bod
ies, there was no philosophical, nor, on other
grounds, any forcible reason lor the ancient
practice ol’ preserving tho ashes of the dead.
It is the statue that affects us, not the dust in
the sculptor’s studio ; aud henoethe more pop
ular practice of endeavoring to preserve the
body itself, which is still more preposterous
and impracticable. Can we, then, have noth
ing to cherish as souvenirs ot the departed?
Yes; that which alone can truly reflect them.
Os the countless myriads that have lived and
died, not two individuals were made after the
same pattern. It is the form or features, not
the substance, that should be preserved.—
What efforts have been made, and uselessly
made, to keep tho great dead from comming
ling with their native earth ! Embalming to
prevent decomposition, coffins of incorruptible
materials, and these enclosed in everlasting
cemeteries like the pyramids, and in others
cut into the living rock! How miserably all
have failed to evade the inexorable law quoted
above ! Then what arc a few hundred or a few
thousand years during which unrecognised
human remains may have resisted dissolution?
They are less than fractions of moments on
the dial of time ; and what do they end in ?
The mummies of Egypt arc quarried for fuel,
and whether those df the Pharohs, their wives,
their priests, or their slaves, are split open
and chopped up with the same indifference as
so many pine logs. The gums and balsams
used in embalming them have made them a
good Substitute for bituminous coal; and thus
the very means employed to preserve them
have become the active agents of their dissipa
tion. So it is when the materials of coffins
have a high marked value; they are then seiz
ed as concealed treasure and the'v contents
cast out as rubbish. Like heroes in tho Eas
tern hemisphere, the descendants of Manco
Capec wero sometimes, if not always, entomb
ed in such, and with considerable treasure
besides in vessels of gold and silver ; hence we
learn how the Spanish conquercrs sought for,
often found, and as often plundered rich Incan
sepulchres.
The foregoing train of thought was awaken
ed by reading a very interesting letter from
W. W. Evans, Esq., Engineer of the Arica and
Tacna Railroad, dated Arica, August 18,1855.
The following are extracts:
“I am most sorry I did not give you more
information in reference to the Indian relics
sent. The fact is, I never get time to exam
ine personally the excavation among the
tombs. 1 cannot say whether the things came
out of one tomb, or two, or twenty. They
arc a small portion of thousands of similar
things from the hundreds of graves we have
demolished. The excavations wc are making
on the hill-side at the moro of Arica is now
seventy feet in depth. The soil is loose sand,
except the first- two feet, which has some salt
in it, that holds it together. The tombs are
just below the surface, and our men are work
ing seventy feet below’ them. As we work in,
every thing from the top comes sliding down,
dead Indians, pots, kettles, arrow heads, &c.
The earthenware often gets broken. Os late
there has not much come out that is interest
ing. Some time since an Indian was started
out from his rcstingplaccrolled up in a shroud
of gold. The men, suspecting what it was,
cut it up into small pieces and divided it among
themselves. Two pieces got into the hands of
my washerwoman. She refused to sell them
at any price ; but 1 liavo tornoff apiecoand en
close it in this letter. The whole was, lam
told, one sheet of the same. I have drawn tho
two pieces on this sheet. They weigh over
three-fourths of an ounce. [And contain
twenty-five superficial inches.] Our railway
line runs near some tumuli in the Tacna val
ley, and when we get the track near them I
will get a Y'aukee’s eye into one or more of
them. * * There is one thing I always
thought interesting about the Indians wc dig
up here. I have examined the skulls of hun
dreds, and have not seen one with a tooth de
cayed.”
The triangular piece sent measures on one
side an inch and a half; the edge is smooth,
comparatively straight, and probably formed a
part of the original border; the other two
edges are rough and indented, as torn from
the washerwoman’s portion of the spoil. The
gold is between twenty-one and twenty-two
carats—perhaps a natural alloy. It appears
harder and more springy than pure gold. I
heated it to a red heat, with the view of
annealing it, but without producing any sen
sible change in its elasticity. The thickness
may be deduced from its weight, viz : eigh
teen grains to the square inch. Perfectly to
envelope a full-grown person the sheet could
hardly have contained less than eighteen su
perficial feet, the weight of which would have
been between eight and nine pounds. Had
the whole been preserved it would have been
the finest specimen of sheet gold that we have
heard of since the times of the conquest, and
would have thrown light on tho process of
spreading out the metal from the ingot orcast
ing—a process most certainly allied to, if not
identical with that of ancient oriental work
men “ And they did beat the gold into thin
plates.” Exodus, xxxix. 3. “Silver spread
into plates is brought from Tarsish and gold
from Uphnz; the work of the workmen and of
the hands of the founder.” Jcr., x. 9. Pur
chase, in his Pilgrimage, mentions plates two
or three feet long hammered out by Mexican
goldsmiths.
The date of these Peruvian tombs is a mat
ter for conjecture. No clue is afforded by
which to reach it. Roth the climate and soil
being highly favorable to the preservation of
the bodies la a dry state, they may have be
longed to vemoto, nnd to far remote times.—
The owner of the shroud, we may presume,
was sleeping in it long before the tragedies of
Pizarro nnd his followers began. Scenting
gold as keenly as wild animals scent their
prey, the burial of bodies in golden attire
would then have been almost certainly follow
ed by robbery of the grave and desecration of
the dead. The loss of the enclosed body is
as much to be regretted as that .of its envelope.
A person thus honored in death must have
been distinguished in life—a chieftain in war
or in peace, or possibly a priest. Whatever
ho was, he was most likely interred with oth
er evidence of his character than his rich
winding sheet; and we are left to deplore the
wholesale destruction of tumuli, charged with
materials precious to archaeologists, without
auy one present interested in their preserva
tion or destruction.

Furtlier by the Arabia.
Tho Liverpool Cotton Market had advanced
from J to |<l. per lb., and the sales had com
prised during the week 58,000 bales, of which
exporters took 5,000 and speculators 0,000
balis, leaving 34,000 halos of nil descriptions
to the trade. The stock of cotton on hand was
370,000 bales, including 200,000 American.
The bullion in the Bank of England had
decreased to the extent of ,£IIO,OOO.
Tho President's Message was favorably
regarded iu England, and no exception wns
taken even to its pibitiou on Central American
affairs. No apprehension of difficulties be
tween the two countries existed.
The announcement in the Times that Russia
had unconditionally accepted the proposals of
Austria, caused great excitement, but on the
succeeding day the government officially an
nounced that Russia had only accepted them
as a basis of negotiations. This had the effect
of diminishing the confidence of the public in
regard to an early peace, and the impression
prevailed in some quarters that Russia had
merely accepted, in order to prolong negotia
tions to gain time.
There was nothing important from the
Crimea.
Still further by the Arabia.
Halifax, Feb. I.—The following is a state
ment of all the circumstances connected with
Russia’s acceptance of the Austrian proposals:
W hen Prince Esterliazy arrived in St. Peterburg,
he presented the proposals of Austria to Nes
selrode, with the remark, that he was not
authorized to enter into any discussion, and
that if the terms were not unconditionally
accepted before the 18tli, the Austrian Embas
sy would leave St. Petersburg. To prevent
this, Count Nesselrode communicated with
Vienna, had a talk with Count Buol, and pro
duced a memorandum, expressing in general
terms Russia’s willingness to negotiate, but
proposing alterations iu the terms. The mat
ter was referred, by Austria, to the Western
Powers, who replied, that they saw no reason
to change their decision, and insisted upon
Russia’s unconditional acceptance of the pro
posed terms. Russia was then informed, that
unless she accepted these terms, the Austrian
Legation would leave St. Petersburg, and
Austria would immediately seek to obtain the
co-operation of the other German Powers.—
This state of affairs had created great excite
ment, particularly as the Russian Embassy
had been ordered to leave Vienna ; but on tlie
lGtli, the announcement was made, that Russia
had accepted the terms as a basis of negotia
tions.
Business and. Trade of St. Louis.
The number of steamboats that traded at the
port of St. Louis, during the past year, was
328, besides 68 canal boats and barges. Tlie
receipts of lead for the year were 815,677 pigs;
tlie quantity of flour manufactured by the City-
Mills 003,352 bbls.,or 100,005 bbls. more than
iu the previous year. The receipts of corn
were 2,944,590 bushels, which, at its money
value, is nearly equal to the business of the
three previous years. The receipts of lumber
were 26,000,000 of feet.
The Cotton Trade.
The cottou crop figures from the Ist of Sep
tember to the close of December, as made up
in the circular of Mr. W. P. Wright, in New
York, show the comparative
1555. 1854.
Receipts at all ports, bales 1,526,000 913,000
Foreign exports 807,000 558,000
The receipts arc already in excess of last
year 613,000 bales, which, without further
change, would give a crop of 3,460,000 bales.
The estimates now range 3,500,000 to 3,700,-
000 hales.
The Delaware river at Philadelphia is frozen
so firmly that booths for the sale of refresh
ments to skaters and others have been erected
on it. The Bulletin says : The constant ply
ing to stud fro of the ferry boats, opposite the
centre of the city, has kept the ice broken up
there, butabove and below it is perfectly tight.
Some of the channels that were broken up the
river by the tug American, were frozen over
within twenty-four hours afterward sufficiently
strong to permit pedestrians to cross them.
The last news from Bombay shows a state
of excitement among the British at the recent
capture and annexation of Herat by the Per
sians, who, it is believed, have been instigated
to war by Russia, though nominally the ally
of the British. Herat was long considered tlie
key to Northern India, and if the Shah really
favors Russia, the frontiers of India may be
threatened at any moment by a Russo—Persian
army. The British in India do not fear so
much danger from this source as from the
moral effect the presence of such an army
would have upou the disaffected interests in
the einpiro, and the dangerous intrigues it
would give rise to. Tho Bombay papers sug
gest that a force of 15,000 men should be sent
by sea against Persia, and compel that power
to yield Herat to the Sultan. Dost Mahom
nied, alarmed at the advances which Persia is
making eastward, has marched from his capi
tal with a numerous army towards the Canda
har frontier, and has also written to the Indian
government for assistance, in terms with the
treaty recently concluded, which stipulated
the alliance to offensive and be defensive. The
indications are thsit the British Indian gov
ernment will make these acts the pretexts for
annexing Herat to the Affglian dominion,
with a British protectorate.

funds to the extent of SIOO,OOO from the house
of John Gladstone & Cos., of Melbourne, Aus
tralia, with which it is alleged, he fled to this
country. Mr. Alexander Morrison, the agent
for Messrs. Gladstone & Cos., appeared before Po
lice Justice Osborne, and made a complaint
against Bull for embezzlement, which led to
tlie arrest of Ball. lie was placed in the cus
tody of the policeman until an examination
eould be had in the matter. $30,000 of tlie

A Memento of Daniel Webster.
At the Boston festival in honor of the anni

“ Sir, I was an admirer of the character of

tlie time when 1 used to sail ip his little bark
upon the sea you say he loved so well, and I
have now a bright silver dollar he gave me the

have told my wife not to be dismayed at all at
the thought of coming to want. I should nev

of my financial ship. I have often been reduc
ed to that, but I have never yet been obliged
to let it go. (Cheers.)
