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. - John Epps, confined at Athens, Georgia, un der sontcnco of death for tho murder of his father, broke jail a few days since and escap ed. Tho Banner says it was evident that ho had outside assistance. 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.

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. - ♦ * Steamer Arkansas Sunk, The steamer Arkansas, Capt. Harris, run ning us a regular packet between New Orleans and Montgomery, Alabama, was snugged and sunk 011 the 26th ult. ou Mobile river. The Arkansas had on board 1121 bales cotton, 68 bales of osnaburgs, and sundries. 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.

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. * Alleged Embezzlement of SIOO,OOO. George P. Ball, a boarder at the Astor House N. Y., was taken into custody on Thursday af ternoon, on the charge of having embezzled 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 property has been levied on by the Sheriff. A Memento of Daniel Webster. At the Boston festival in honor of the anni versary of the birth of Daniel AVebster, Gen. Nye, of New Aork, in thecourseof his speech, said; “ Sir, I was an admirer of the character of AVebster. I remember with youthful emotion 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 day I was eleven years old. (Applause.) I have told my wife not to be dismayed at all at the thought of coming to want. I should nev er bo out of money. (Laughter.) The dollar shall abide with me until time shall be to me no more. (Applause.) It is, sir, the anchor of my financial ship.
