The most distinguished honors have been
paid to the memory of Hon. Andrew J. Miller
by the city of Augusta, its benevolent asso

The public regret for his death was universal,
and all classes in the city feel that they have
lost a friend and able advocate. The delega

failure to muko the connection at some point

membered that the Governor, in his annual
message, recommended the adoption of this
measure, heretofore rejected by Texas because
of the restrictions imposed by the Federal Gov
ernment.

Massachusetts and South Carolina.
These too old States, being the representa
tives of the extreme conflictingpolitical creeds
of their respective sections of tho Union, have
long been bitterly antagonistic in all national
and party contests. The election of Banks
ovor Aiken was an important triumph of the
latter State, and no doubt South Carolina feels
that her policy has been trampled tinder foot
by tho success of her rival. But the “winter
of her discontent” has developed the germ of a
refreshing ami exultant summer. The owners
of ice houses at Charleston have been gather
ing their own ice crop, and South Carolina
will, for the first time, be independent of Mas
sachusetts for a supply. We doubt much
whether the “solid men of Boston” have reaped
the most substantial advantage from the events
of the winter- whether their exultation over
their political advantage will counter-balance
the pecuniary loss attending the refusal of their
ice by tho South.
Land Warrants.
Tho Washington papers announce that Land
Warrants are again declining in value, as they
anticipated would be the case when the mails
became more regular. The Organ of the 2d
inst. says that tho supply is now greater than
the demand. The high rates paid for the past
ten days Ims invited largo quantities to this
market. One dealer bought in New York aud
Boston on yesterday, at $1 02 for 120’s, and
$1 05 per acre for 80 sand 160’s. A small
quantity was sold yesterday morning at a fig
ure above these rates; but at the close of the
day they were refused at less rates. They are
dull to-day at $1 02 for 120’s, and $1 05 a
If 1 Oil for 80’s and 180’s. The dealers predict
a further and material decline before the open
ing of spring.
l'he Ameriern party of Alabama, at a State
Convention held in Montgomery on Monday
last, appointed Delegates to a National Conven
tion of the party, and nominated a full Electo
ral ticket. Tho Delegates for the State at large
are Hon. Arthur P. Hopkins, of Mobile, and
Hon. George D. Shortridgc of Shelby. The
State Electors are lion. J ere Clemens of Hunts
ville, and Hon. 11. W. Hilliard of Montgomery.
The Convention adopted resolutions denying
the power of Congress to legislate in any way
on the subject of slavery, repudiating the doc
trine of “squatter sovereignty,” re-uftirming
the Georgia Platform, and requesting the Hon.
Win. R. Smith and Hon. Percy Walker (Repre
sentatives in Congress from Alabama) to at
tend the National Convention to be held at
Philadelphia on the 22d inst., and urge the
poßtpouemeut of the nomination of candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency to a
later period.
Soulouque’s Defeat Confirmed.
The Kingston (Ja.) Banner, of the l'.uh,
has the following confirmation of the defeat of
the Emperor of llayti:
By the arrival of the steamer Buzzard, yes- i
ter day, we learn that the expedition which ■
was fitted out by the Emperor Kofrlouqne for
the invasion of the Spanish side of San Do
mingo hud met the Dominican forces, and that
a bloody battle took place between the con
tending armies. In the conflict, General
Dufresn, of the Haytien army, and another
general officer, were surrounded by the Span- |
iards, and fell before superior numbers. The
fin-tunes of war, however, decided in favor of
the Dominicans, and the forces of Soulouquc
were driven back with great slaughter. The
Emperor himself had disappeared altogether,
and it is said that lie run like a coward on the
day of the battle. It is supposed that he has
been killed by tlic Spaniards, or died from the
fatigue of the march homewards.
Soulouque’s mutilated army had not yet re
turned, but as soon as the disappearance of
the sable Emperor was made known at the
capital, a provisional Emperor was proclaimed,
who will, in all probability, succeed to tho
reins of power.
The expatriated Haytiens of this city were
delighted with the intelligence, and the next
arrival from lluyti is looked for with great
interest.

Banks’ first business, after he was elected
Speaker on Saturday, was to sign the certifi
cates of the members for their pay, which he
did the same evening, and the presumption is
that they had a happy time of it tliut night.—
An idea may be formed of the straitened finan
cial statu* of many of tho members, from the
fact that M. Glossbremier, on Monday, drew
from the Treasury SBO,(MM) in gold on certifi
cates given to him in payment of money ad
vanced to the needy Honorables.

Robert J. Walker, Avkoso opportunities of

says Mr. Walker, ever gives advice that Is not
certain to be agreeable to the Enperor. Min
ister Seymour, at Vienna, is a very careful,
cautious man, and would not give rise to hopes
that there was any probability of disappoint
ing. And finally, which is the great argu
ment indeed hy Mr. Walker, iu confirmation of
his opinion, the Russian Government wish to
conclude the railroad already commenced from
the Capitol to the Crimea. Great railroad
schemes, Mr. Walker tliiuks, exert an im
mense control in the actions of both nations i
and men.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Cos. ruspomlcucL- of tlif Savannah Journal.
Tuesday, Feb. 5.
Senate. —On the assemblage of the Senate
this morning in pursuance of previous ar
rangement, the proceedings in relation to the
• leath qf the Honorable Andrew J. Miller, late
n Senator from the county of Richmond, took
place and were witnessed by n large audience,
consisting of Members of the House of Repre
sentatives, strangers now on a visit to the
Capitol, and the gallery filled with ladies —all
seemingly much affected with the sad occasion.
Amidst profound silence, Mr. Pope, Sena
tor from Wilkes, arose and offered the following
Resolutions, ns the report of the Committee
appointed on yesterday :
Resolved, That the intelligence of the death
of Honorable Andrew .1. Miller,* late a member
of the Senate, from the county of Richmond,
is received with deep concern and regret by
this body.
Resolved, That the distinguished and useful
services of the deceased, in the various emi
nent positions that lie has occupied, no less
than his private worth, have rendered his
name dear to to hearts of his countrymen.—
Honest, us a man—just and able as a lawyer
—wise and patriotic, as a statesman. We will
not approach the grief and anguish of the
widow and orphan. We leave them to the
merciful protection of the Great Author of
our Being, who in his wise but inscrutable
providence has caused the bereavement, and
to the consolations of thatreligion that brought
life and immortality tolight; our warmest sym
pathies arc with them in their affliction.
Resolved, That we will wear the usual badge
of mourning during the continuance of tlic
session.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions,
he sent to the family of the deceased, and also
entered upon the journal of Senate.
(Signed)
Alexander Pope, Jr., Senator from Wilkes.
F, 11. Cone, Senator from Greene.
S. A. Wales, Senator from Muscogee.
J. Duunagan, Senator from Ilall.
Minis Wingfield, Senator from Putnam.
After the adoption of the foregoing resolu
tions, Messrs. Pope, Calhoun and Cone ad
dressed the Senate, in touching allusions to
their association with the deceased Senator.
The House or Representatives. —The
House met this morning at the hour of ten,
and unanimously adopted the Resolutions of
the Senate, in regard to a truly gifted, but
departed member of their body. The remarks
of Mr. Milledge were appropriate and affect
ing. Having known the lion. Senator for
many years, ho was able to portray his virtues
in a just light, and to awake even in the
breasts of strangers a sympathy that is felt
for the noble, the gifted and generous alone.
Mr. Thornton briefly, yet beautifully advert
ed to the life of Mr. Miller. He spoke of his
devotion to the cause of woman, and his zeal
in efforts to promote the interests and happi
ness of the females of Georgia, as a cardinal
point in him whose voice is now hushed in
death, and said that the presence of those ladies
who had come out to offer to him a tribute
of respect, was gratifying and proper—and
that for the perpetuation of his memory, they
should erect him a monument.
The Flouse then adjourned until 10 o’clock
to-morrow.
Wednesday, Feb. G.
House ut Representatives. —The Senate
amendments to the General Appropriation bill
were concurred in this morning. A hill to he
entitled an act to provide for Attachments in
certain cases, which was the special order of
to-day, was, on motion, postponed until Tues
day next, on account of the absence of some of
its warmest friends.
The bill to incorporate tlic Hh\ T assee Rail
road Company was taken up, and elicited a
very interesting, lengthy, and exciting debate
between Mr. Smith, of Union, aylio offered it,
and Mr. Pickett, of Gilmer, who is the cham
pion of tlic opposition.
Mr. Pickett moved to postpone the same in
definitely, Avhich was lost by a vote of 13 yeas
to 83 nays. He then off ered to amend by re
serving to the State the right of repeal in the
event that said charter should be likely to
prove injurious to her interests— which was
also lost—yeas 27, nays Go.
The Avliole day lias been consumed in the
consideration of amendments offered to this
bill, mill avgunujiits thereon. No definite ac
tion has yet been taken on the question of its
passage. It is alleged by the opponents of
the same that the result of its passage would
be detrimental to the Railroad and sea port
towns of Georgia, Avliilst it is regarded by its
advocates as promising advantages to these
interests.
A resolution from tlic Senate by which a
committee lias been appointed on the part of
that House, to report a bill authorizing tiie con
struction of a main trunk railroad from tlic
Chattahoochee river to such poiut as may to
them seem eligible, Avas to-day communicated
to the House.
The House adjourned until 7 o’clock, P. M.,
at which period, there will be another adjourn
ment, iu order to alloAV a Mr. White from the
Territory of Kansas, to deliver an address in
this Hall.
Astounding Poisoning Case in England.
A most astounding ease of poisoning occu
pies considerable space in public attention.—
The circumstances are briefly these: l)r. Win.
Palmer, a surgeon, but who made betting his
profession—iu other words, a “sporting man,”
avhs in company with a gentleman named
Cooke, at Rugelcy, Staffordshire, settling up
some gambling accounts, when Cooke, who
had just drank a glass of liquor, suddenly be
came sick, and exclaimed that Palmer had
poisoned him. Cooke died next day, and Pal
mer was arrested. A discovery that Palmer
was indebted a large sum to Cooke, confirmed
the suspicion against him, and it was then
remembered that his (Palmer’s) wife hadsud
denly died of symptoms similar to those that
carried oft’ Cook. This led to further enquiry,
Avhcn the astounding fact came gradually out
that sixteen persons, all immediately connected
Avith Palmer, among them his brother and his
Avifo’s mother, had died suddenly within a very
short time, and that on the lives of some of
these persons lie had effected insurance, while
Avith others he had betting transactions.
Palmer had obtained an insurance upon tbe
life of his wife for $13,000, and upon that of
his brother f0r523.000. The most astounding
incident of these developments is that Lord
George Hentick (avlio, it will be remembered,
died suddenly) had transactions Avith Palmer,
and it is hoav believed that lie was poisoned.—
The corpses of some of the supposed victims
have been exhumed, and submitted to chemical
research for traces of poison. Strychnine, or
some other vegetable preparation, is supposed
tolmvebeen the means employed. It is some
what that the accused had a fast horse
that figured conspicuously in his turf specula
tions, and bore the name of Strychnine.

Mr. Speaker Banks’ Address.
(rcndtmin of the House of Representatives:
Before I proceed to complete my acceptance
of the office to which 1 am elected, 1 avail my
self of your indulgence toexpvess my acknowl
edgments of the distinguished honor conferred
upon me.
It would afford me far greater pleasure, in
tuking the chair of the House, were I suppor
ted cvcu hy the self-assurance that I could
bring to the discharge of its duties, always del
icate and arduous, and now environed with
unusual difficulties, any capacity commensu
rate with their responsibility and dignity. I
can say that, in so far as 1 am able, 1 shall dis
charge the obligations resting upon me with
fidelity to the constitution, and with impartial
ity as it regards the rights of members of the
House. 1 have no personal objects to accom
plish. lam animated hy the single desire that
1 may aid in sonic degree in maintaining the
well established principles of our government
in their original and American signification ;
in the development of the material interests
of that portion of the continent we occupy, so
far as we may do within the limited and legit
imate powers conferred upon us; in enlarging
and swelling the capacity of our government
for beenficcnt influences at home and aboad ;
and, above all, in preserving intact and in per
petuity the priceless privileges transmitted to
us.
I am, of, course, aware that of my own
strength I cannot hope to be equal to the per
fect execution of the duties I now assume. I
am, therefore, as every man must be who
stands in such presence, a supplicant for your
co-operation and indulgence; and accepting
your honors with this declaration, 1 again offer
you my thanks.
From the Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.
Washington, Feb. 3.
It is supposed that after the members shall
be qualified, and the territorial delegates call
ed, some difficulty will be raised upon the
Kansas question, and perhaps also upon the
Now Mexico and Nebraska contested seats.—
To admit all will he one proposition, as the
delegates have no vote ; but it is probable that
the regularly returned delegates will, in such
case, be admitted, and tlicir cases referred to
the committee ou election.
A number of members of the Southern Com
mercial Convention, held last week at Rich
mond, returned this morning. I gather from
them the following matters of interest in re
gard to their proceedings:
The Hon. Air. R. Morris, of Richmond, Va.,
offered a series of resolutions, which was unan
imously adopted, recommending the Southern
States to abolish ail domestic license taxes
upon foreign imported goods, so that such im
ported goods might he introduced into the
Southern States in fair competition with north
ern manufactures. Also, recommending the
southern people to educate their children in
their own schools and colleges—using all
southern manufactures in preference to north
ern, whenever such articles can be had, and to
patronize southern watering places instead of
lavishing their money upon the north, where
they are insulted and not unfrequently mobbed
hy the free negroes.
Col. Gwin, civil engineer, from N. Carolina,
offered a resolution, which was unanimously
adopted, recommending Congress to abolish or
greatly modify the tariff upon railroad iron.
Gen. Thomas J. Green, of Texas, offered a
scries of resolutions, which were adopted with
one dissenting vote, in favor of the Southern
Texas railroad route to tlic Pacific coast, upon
the line of thirty-two degrees of north latitude,
crossing eight hundred miles through the
State of Texas to El Paso, on the Rio Grande,
and thence by Col. A. B. Gray’s survey to the
junction of the Gila and Colorado rivers. This
road is in active construction by the “Texas
Western Railroad Company,” under the presi
dency of Gov. F. M. Diamond, of Rhode
Island.
Many other resolutions were adopted of
great importance to the South, and which will
soon he published hy tlic general committee in
pamphlet form. The convention adjourned to
meet on the Bth day of December next at the
city of Savannah, Georgia.
Gen. Walker’s Early Love.
We fiud tlic subjoined episode in the early
life of the Nicaraguan hero in an exchange
paper:
The history of General Walker, like that of
all other men of mark, is not free from the
romance of love as well as that of war. Whilst
a law student in New Orleans, he conceived
a warm attachment for a very interesting
young lady who was born deaf and dumb.—
She had been well educated, and was of very
engaging manners. Her misfortune drew to
wards her the sympathies and regard of all
tender-hearted persons. With his character
istic originality and peculiarity of feeling and
sentiment, Walker became warmly enamored
of this young lady. She reciprocated liis re
gard, and for some time they were never
happy unless together, lie soon acquired a
knowledge of her signs, and they conversed
with great facility, the medium of their con
versation, no doubt, adding zest to their en
joyment. At last some slight misunderstand
ing interrupted their intercourse, and before
a reconciliation could be effected, the young
lady died. This event gave a tinge of melan
clioly to the thoughts and character of Walker.
Perhaps, as many of his friends thought, it
produced the great change in his character
which ensued—a change from the quiet mod
est student to the bold, daring, dauntless
revolutionist and warrior.
Strong Ice.
One of the heavy Cindinnati steam fire en
gines was taken over the Mississippi river on
on the ice at St. Louis, on the2lstult. A bold
teamster, of the city, named Meyer, undertook,
for SIOO, to haul it across with a team of five
horses. He gave a bond of SB,OOO to deliver
her safely at the warehouse of Lyon, Shorb &
Cos., in St. Louis, and accomplished the feat.
