at a fair navigable stage. The steamer 0.

Hon. Cave Johnson, president of the llank

been made through the newspapers, that the
directors of that Hank have resolved not to

£8,000,000.
Thu new British steamship Persia—-which
was so loudly heralded in advance as being
probably the fastest, as well as the largest of
the steamers —was fourteen days making the
trip from Liverpool to New \ ork. She en

possible that under favorable circumstances
she may realize the expectations of those who
calculate so strongly on her speed.
Injury to “Wheat Crops.
It is the general impression among the
farmers, so far as we can learn, says the Loui
nft Eagle, that the wheat crop in this section
has been very seriously injured by the intense
cold weather; in fact, wo are led to believe
that the crop will bo almost entirely cut off.
Liquor Prohibition.
The Tennessee Legislature has passed an act
repealing the law allowing the retailing of li
quor in that State. The act repealed was an
amendment of a former prohibitory law, and
provided for licenses to retail in quantities loss
thnn a quart. Tho effect of the act just pass
ed, therefore, will bo to rescind tho amend
ment allowing licenses, and to leave in force
the original clause of the law prohibiting re
tailing.
In tho Legislature of Alabama, a perplexing
question is the disposition of the bills ot the
old State Dank and its branches, now in the
Treasury. Tho amount on hand, we believe,
is some SBOO,OOO, and there is a party in the
Legislature which contends that tho State has
no right to ro-issuo them—although it lias of
ten done so heretofore. Others wish them
burnt for the purpose of winding up the Dank
H 8 soon as possible and driving in from circu
lation an irredeemable currency. Dut bills
have been passed to loan largo sums to sever
al Railroad companies, and without tho re
issue of these notes the State has not the funds
on hand to make the loans, and will be com
pelled to resort to a loan or repeal the bills
passed. The question elicits considerable
discussion and Home excitement, and is con
nected, in some wuy, with all the loan or ap
propriation bills of tho session.
The Western Rivers.
Tho Arkansas river has not yet risen suffi
eicutly to allow the boats that wore blockaded
in it last spring and summer by sand-bars to
resumo their trips. Tho New Orleans papers
report that there are seven or eight steamers
near one plnce on the river, some of which
have been detained thoro by low water for
eight or nine months past. Navigation on the
Red and Ouachita rivers has boon very par
tial, and so far wholly inadequate to their bus
iness. The Ouachita was frozen ovor at Cam
den in January, and persons crossed on the
ice. At the last accounts, tho Texas rivers
were rising. At St. Louis, on tho 7th inst.,
the expectation was that at least two weeks of
moderate weather would bo required to free
the Mississippi of ice sufficiently to allow nav
igation to that city, The receipts of cotton
at New Orleans, at the dato of our latest re
ports, were light, and the shipments very
heavy.
The Bank of the Interior.
The special committo appointed by tho Le
gislature to examine the condition and stand
ing of this Hank, located at Griffin, have made
two reports—the majority report recommend
ing that its charter be declared forfeited, and
the minority denying that tho circumstances
and proof warrant such a proceeding.
It is shown that tho stock of this Dank is
owned, like that of the Atlanta Bank, almost
exclusively by George Smith, of Illinois, and
that of tho few remaining stockholders two
are the President and Cashier of the institu
tion, and two others the President and Cashier
of tho Atlanta Dank. The act of incorpora
tion provides that “should this charter bo dis
posed of to un individual in this State, or an
individual or company out of the State, the
same shall he forfeited, and the Governor shall
issue his proclamation to that effect.” The
majority of the committee contend that the only
way in which a charter may be disposed of is
by transferring nnd disposing of the stock;
and they therefore think that tho ownership of
almost the ontire stock by a non-resident, and
his complete control of the Dank, work n for
feiture of tho charter. They also doubt
whether the three or four resident stockhold
ers are bona fide owners of tho stock subscrib
ed for in their names, or only hold for the ben
efit of Smith. The minority deny that the
subscription for the stock is n disposition of
the charter, and say it can be proved that the
Georgia stockholders are bona fide owners of
the stock subscribed for by them.
The majority give reasons for believing that
the nniount required to be paid in specie, be
fore tho Dnnk could commence operations, was
not so paid, and they believe that this can ho
proved in a court of justice. But the minori
ty contend that it can be proved by witnesses
of the first respectability that the required
amount was paid in specie.

committee; and James M. Calhoun and C. B.

Another Congressional Snarl.
The House of Representatives is re-enact
ing, in the attempts to elect a Printer, the
proceedings anterior to the election ot a Spea
ker. Tho three prominent candidates are O.
Follett, of Ohio, Republican ; Cornelius Wen
dell, of New York, Democrat; and R. Farn
hain, of Washington, Know-Nothing. The
vote for each of these candidates is less than
that given by his party for Speaker, as there
are more scattering votes; hut the general
division of the House is nearly the same, and
an inspection of the vote docs not give any
more promising indication of a speedy election
than did the early ballotings for Speaker. —
This election, however, is not pre-requisite to
the transaction of business, and the House
can and docs drop and resume the matter at
pleasure.

Refugees from European Tyranny.
A London paper, in an article upon the pol
itics of the United States, ascribes the restless
ness and turbulence which it thinks proper to
impute to our population, to the fact that so i
many political refugees from Europe arc
among us. It says that “adventurers of every
description—-French Socialists and Jacobins,
Italians, Red Republicans, Hungarians and
Poles, driven into frantic hatred of all govern
ment by Austrian or Russian tyranny” —find
hero a homo and a chance to rise in tho social
ami political scale. This it is useless to dis
pute ; but the cool assurance with which the
English writer ascribes their exile from Eu
rope to “Austrian and Russian tyranny” is
really laughable. Wc venture the assertion
that three-fourths of the Europeans who have
come to this country as a refuge from politi
cal or social tyranny came hither from Great
Britain and her beloved ally, France, and that
the proportion Hying from Russian tyranny is
so small that very few of our people can name
a single one. The English paper quoted fur
ther says that these refugees, while among us,
are working continually “not to benefit their
friends in America, but to avenge themselves
on their enemies in Europe.” This being true,
Great Britain and France would he apt to find,
in the event of a difficulty with us, that there
are some refugees among us who know some
thing of French and British tyranny, nnd who
will not be laggards in avenging the wrongs of
themselves and their countrymen.
Political-
Wc observe that the Whigs of New Hamp
shire are moving for the re-organization of the
Whig party, and a State Convention has been
called to promote it. A writer in the Louis
ville Courier proposes to the AV'higs of Ken
tucky to bold ft Convention nt Lexington on
the 12th of April next, the birth-day of Henry
Clay, to take measures to secure an effective
organization. It is quite evident, we think,
that the present divisions of parties will not
remain unbroken until the Presidential elec
tion, but that there are issues and combina
tions ahead which will override the incongru
ous organizations at present feebly kept up.
The Know-Nothings will “open the ball”
next week, by the meeting of their National
Council at Philadelphia on the 18tli, and their
National Convention in the same city on the
22d. Most of the Southern delegates to the
latter body are instructed to oppose a nomi
nation of candidates fov the Presidency and
Vice Presidency at that time, and to insist on
a postponement until May or June. Whether
nominations are made or postponed, the re
union of the Northern nnd Southern wings of
the Order, or their renewed quarrel and dis
ruption, as the case may be, will be a signifi
cant aud important event.
Wehave no part nor lot in these or any other
party squabbles, but wc intend that our Sun
shall shine impartially upon all alike, and
throw its light upon politicians of every hue.
Those who wish accurate and early intelligence
of all political movements should “book” them
selves at onoe for one of its rays, and thereafter
grope about no more in darkness and error.

Dr. Kane’s Arctic Expedition.
To the Editor of the Times :
Sir—Dr. Kane's official despatches, with the
chart of the Arctic discoveries, are now before
tho public. As 1 apprehended, they clear
away all the obscurity contained in the news
paper accounts, and unquestionably place Dr.
Kane in the foremost rank of Arctic explorers.
Had he heard the hearty cheer which, at the
suggestion of the Hydographcr, was raised to
his honor last night in the rooms of the Geo
graphical Society by the crowded audience
who heard his modest yet extraordinary nar
rative, he would, 1 am sure, have been highly
gratified.
Having heard from ■friends in the United
States that a letter ot mine in your columns
has had the effect of leading to an erroneous
idea that l>r. Kane’s arduous ami heroic un
dertaking was not duly appreciated in this
country, 1 shall feci greatly obliged by the pub
lication of this communication, which I trust
will have tho effect of assuring the gallant
doctor that ho is highly esteemed and admired
by all who take an interest in Arctic explora
tion.
1 may be permitted to add au interesting
fact which does not appear in his official des
patch to the Admiralty, but which he commu
nicates in n letter to a friend. It is that, al
though the temperature at the winter quarters
of the expedition was colder than has ever
been experienced in the Arctic regions, that
of the open water to the north was compara
tively very high, and a great variety of ani
mal lifo was seen, including whales and plant
eating birds.
I am, sir, your obedient,
C. B. WELD.
Sommerset-house, Jan. 15.
The North and the South.
It is noted as a remarkable fact that the
election of Mr. Banks as Speaker of the Na
tional House of Representatives completes the
following results: The President of the United
States, the Speaker of the House, the Presi
dent of the Senate, tho head of the Cabinet
and the occupant of our most important diplo
matic post, tho Minister to England, arc all
Northern men. General Pierce and Mr. Banks
are from New England, Mr. Marcy and Mr.
Buchanan from the Middle States, and Mr.
Bright from Indiana.

New Orleans, Feb. 11.
The sterna ship Prometheus has arrived at
this port to-day from Sau Juau, with advices
to the sth inst., and from San 1’ rancisco to the
21st ult. The Northern Light sailed from San
Juau on the sth inst. for New I ork, with
$350,000 in specie. The advices from Cali
fornia arc unimportant. The agricultural ac
counts were better, and those from the mines
encouraging. The jury in the Cora case had
disagreed, and :i new trial would probably soon
take place. The Legislature had some trou
ble in electing a United States Senator. Sev
eral prominent candidates had withdrawn for
the purpose of harmonizing affairs, and tiic
American party had brought forward anew
man.
The barque Isabella Hayne was wrecked on

Hon. James Buchanan and the Presidency.
The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian gives the
following extract from a private letter from
the Hon. James Buchanan to a gentleman of
that city:
“You refer to the connection of my name
with the Presidency. * * “ This
I neither desire nor expected. Tho move
ment in my favor has, therefore, originated
without my previous knowledge or consent,
and 1 should be quite satisfied should another
be selected.
“The next will be the most important and
responsible Presidential term since the last
war with England or perhaps since the origin
of the government. Roth our foreign and do
mestic affairs will require the guidance of an
able, firm and skillful pilot to steer the vessel
of State clear of the breakers. I pray Heaven
that the best man may be selected for the
crisis, and to me it is a matter of indifference
whether lie comes from the North or the South,
the East or the West.
CoiTcsjioncli'Uie of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, Feb. 7.
Both Houses of Congress have adjourned
over to Monday. The House will not resume
the balloting for Printer, but the different par
ties to the question will have time for consul
tation before Monday, and perhaps be prepar
ed for some combination by which an election
can be effected. The Republicans may uuite,
or the National Americans and Democrats may
combine.
The resolutions which were offered some
weeks ago, in the caucus of democratic Sena
tors, by Mr. Iverson, of Georgia, and which
presented what is called the Georgia Platform,
in relation to slavery, were taken up in cau
cus, a day or two ago, and after some consid
eration, were postponed. It was urged in op
position to their adoption at present, that they
would prejudice the democratic cause in the
elections in New Hampshire and Rhode Island,
and other Eastern States, and further, that the
Cincinnati Convention would adopt a platform
for the national democracy.
The Speaker has been authorized to appoint
the Standing Committees, as is usual.
The most important committees, in refer
ence to present sectional questions, are the
Committees on Elections, Territories, Judicia
ry, and the District of Columbia. These, it is
supposed, will be so organized as to promote
slavery agitation, although the House resolv
ed, by a majority of one, that any agitation of
the subject, in or out of the House, was preju
dicial to the public interests, and ought to be
avoided.
Mr. Biddings has been a minority member
of the Committee on the District of Columbia
for some time, and it is apprehended that he
will now he appointed Chairman of the Com
mittee, with a majority in favorof his peculiar
views.
The Committee on Finance is one of more
than usual importance ut present, for the rea
son that it will be charged with the subject of
a revision ot the Tariff, which is strongly urg
ed by the administration. The Speaker is,
himself, in favor of the treasury project for
“the reduction of the rate of duties, and it is
said that he will so form the committee as to
promote that object.
The legislation of the House, and, indeed,
i of both Houses, will be directed towards the
| interests of the several parties to the Fresidcu
; tial election.
No political legislation can be consummated,
| because the Senate aud House will hold each
other in chock. But there will'be an ample
field lor political speeches, and that is what is
chiefly desired by many of the politicians.
Tho Judiciary Committee of the House will re
port a bill for tho modification of the natural
ization laws; and the Americans, of both wings
of that party, will urge its adoption, with no
idea of success, but as nu excellent theme for
Buncumbe.
The American Convention is to meet on the
22d of this month in Philadelphia. The at
tendcndance may be full, and, if so, the oppo
nents of Georgia Law, as their candidate for
the Presidency, will postpone the nomination
till tho 4th of July. Almost all the Northern
delegates are said to be in favor of George
Law. Others, including tho Southern Ameri
cans, are for John Bell, John J. Crittenden or
Millard Fillmore.

RejoiciiV? in Massachusetts over the Elec
tion of Banks for Spealter.
Mr. Banks’ friends were jubilant in Waltham,
bis place of residence, says the Boston Post,
when the news of his election was received on
Saturday. A party of young men ran through
the main street, shoutiug: “ Wake up!wake
up ; our Nat’s elected Speaker ! Hurrah 1
hurrah !” Shortly afterwards the bells were
set to ringing, and guns w ere tired : and there
appeared to be general congratulation among
the citizens that their town had boon so highly
honored. Mrs. Banks illuminated her house,
but dismissed those who called to congratulate
her, by informing them that she was attend
ing upon her sick mother. At the residence
of his parents the crowd gave nine cheers. —
Rev. Mr. Foster was called out in his night
shirt; quoted Shakespeare; said he saw the
outstretched arm of Almighty power staying
the tide of oppression, apd the “old fireship of
| slavery stranded on the firm Ranks of Massa
chusetts ;” and fancied also that he saw Ranks
stiffening’ the backbone ot the North.
In Boston, at noon, on Monday, a salute of
103 guns—the number of votes Mr. Ranks
i received —was fired in houor of tho victory.—
At Charlestown the Bunker llill Republican
Club illuminated all the windows of their head
quarters.
We notice that one of tho London papers,
said to be high in the confidence of a leading
member of the British Cabinet, calls loudly
upon Denmark to join in enforcing the terms
! of the allies upon Russia, so that Europe may
I he at jieacc, and free to take action for com
j polling the United States to recede from her
position in reference to the Sound Dues, and
force her to accede to the policy, in that res
pect, to be agreed upon by a European con
ference. The evident inference, from the tone
of the British ministerial journals, is that the
I allies, were their hands untied by the necessi
ties of the contest in which they are engaged,
would bo quite willing to take upon themselves
the regulation and settlement of other mat
ters, in which the United States appears as a
party ; and yet, with such givings-out, official,
semi-official and popular, the British press
affects surprise at tho cold, if not unfriendly
tone manifested by the people of this country
towards the Western alliance, in its efforts to
humble the pride of Russia and to establish for
itself a virtual dictatorship in European af
fairs, with an ultimate extension of such dic
tatorial spirit to matters involving tho rights
and interests of the United States.— Wilmington
Journal.
Senator Douglas in Washington.
The Union of Saturday morning last, says:
“It is with great satisfaction that we announce
this morning that Hon. S. A. Douglas, who
has been so long detained on his way to Hie
seat of government by a violent and protract
ed inflammation of the throat, arrived in this
city yesterday morning. He is in much better
health and spirits than his numerous friends
here expected or hoped for; and we sincerely
trust that it will not be many days before he
will be able to return to the scone of his dis
tinguished labors and distinguished triumphs
in all bis wonted vigor of mind and body.”

Tennessee Railroads.
From the report of the Rail Road Commis
sioner we learn” that there are in Tennessee
1,611 miles of Railroad in process of construc
tion and 451 miles finished. State aid by the
loan of State bonds has been granted to 22 dif
ferent roads to the amount of $17,278,000,
and State aid received already to the amount
of $5,057,000. The total cost of all the roads
when completed is estimated at $35,000,000
—move than double the State’s liability. By
the terms of the aid granted the roads, the
State retains a first mortgage upon them and
they pay the interest on bonds issued for their
benefit.
Governor Melton, of Mississippi, in his mes
sage to the Legislature, gives a flattering ac
count of tho progress being made in the rail
roads of his State, and in Louisiana. He re
marks that the New Orleans, Jackson (Miss.)
and Great Northern Railroad is completed and
in successful running operation to Osyka on
the State line, a distance of 88 miles from N.
Orleans. The grading has been completed to
Brookhaven, a distance of 38 miles from Osy
ka. The distance from Osyka to Jackson is
!)• miles. The road from Jackson to Canton
will be completed in February. The road is
graded 20 miles in Monroe county. This road
forms one of the most important lines through
the State, and its connections with other roads
render it one of the important lines in the U.
States.
The Texas Debt Bill, which has passed the
Legislature of that State, distributes about
seven millions of dollars from the United States
Treasury, to those who hold claims against
Texas. One-third of these claims are held in
j Philadelphia, one-third in New York, and the
j remainder in various other cities. Some of
| these claims were bought very low, and the
; profit realized will be large.

j The Supreme Court of the United States has
| in three different instances decided that the
J ordinance of 1787 was superseded by the C'on
| stitution. Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Juck
! son, Polk, Taylor, Calhoun, Clayton, and in
j fact nearly all our leading statesmen, were of
the same opinion. Mr. Clay, in bis speech of
1820, against the Missouri Compromise, said:
“ Under the Constitution, no restriction can
be placed upon anew State, asking for ad
mission into the Union, that was not placed
upon the old thirteen States. Every State ad
mitted into the Unionmust stand, in all things,
upon an equality with the old States. Con
gress cannot place upon new State, or upon
any Territory that may’ hereafter apply for
admission as a State, any restriction that will
attach to the State or her people, after it is
admitted into the Union ; for, when admitted,
each State and her people must have all the
: rights of the pre-existing States. Each State,
and the people thereof, have the right to de
termine for themselves whether slavery shall
or shall not exist within her borders. Such a
restriction as this, is an act of gross injustice
to the people who, in after years, may inhab
it the Territory north of :ho proposed line: is
an act unauthorized by the Constitution of the
United States.”— Bridgeport Fanner.
