COLTTMBTIS: LAROBST ( ITV CIRCULATION. TneuUf Morning, Dec. 1857. The Bank BUI. We loarn by a letter from Col. R. L. Mott, from Milldgcvillo, dated .Saturday night, that the Bank Bill, which passed the House that day, would probably be reconsidered on Monday, as A move would be made to that effect, and as a great many members had obtained leave of absence for the balance of the session, scarcely leaving a quorum, it was uncer tain what would be its ultimate fate. We also learn from the same letter that the House Bill for the purchase of the Georgia Military Institute ot Marietta, passed the Senate on Saturday ; also, the appropriation bill for the Lunatic Asy lum. There will be a great deal of busi ness left unfinished in both houses, for the want of time to act upon it. To-day is the day fixed upon for adjournment. The Chattanooga Advertiser learns that Col. Teener, l>cputy Sheriff of that coun ty, when returning from Nashville, on Tuesday, was thrown from the cars and instantly killed. The catastrophe occur red within a short distance of the place where happened the collision the day bo lore, where so many were seriously it not fatally injured, and the engines knocked into fragments. South Carolina Honk 11111. By a dispatch from Columbia, dated the 19lh, we learn the Senate that day adopted the provisions of the bill in rela iion to the Banks, passed by the House the night before, with the exception of that clause providing for the appointment of a Commission to investigate the affairs of all the banks, and report tho result of the examination at the next meeting of the Legislature. Tho Senate objected to this Commission, and refused to author ize it. The main features of tho act are, it suspends the operation of the law of 1840, directing the Comptroller General to collect a tax on the circulation of the suspended banks—it empowers the Comp troller with authority to examine the hooks of any of tho banks of the State— it prohibits, after the Ist of January, 18(10, the issue of bank bills of a less denomination than ten dollars—and pro hibits tho banks from putting in circula tion more Ilian three dollars in paper fer every specie dollar in their vaults. * Homicide In Marlon County. We are pained to learn that on Tuesday last, a rencontre occurred in Buena Vista, Marion County, between Thomas Golden und Nicholas H. Geeslin, which resulted in tho death of tho latter gentleman. We have not been able to learn tho particu lars of the] difficulty, further than that the deceased w r as first shot, and then stabbed and cut in six places, one stab penetrating the heart., causing his death instantaneously. They were both men of families, and were generally quiet and orderly citizens. Golden lias been brought to this city, and lodged in the jail of this county for safe keeping. * Denlli of Col. Wynkoo|i. Col. Francis M. Wynkoop, who served with distinction in tho Mexican War, came to his death by an accidental gun shot, while gunning nt bis farm, near Tamaqua, in Schuylkill County, Pa,, a short time since, lie was for some time Governor of Perote, and led tho pursuit after Santa Anna, at the time that per sonage was nearly captured, and would have been taken but for the treachery of tho Mexican guide. So close was the pursuit that tho (lying General passed out of one end of the village as his pursuers entered the other, and it was during the skirmish which ensued that the noted Texan Ranger, ('apt. Walker, was shot by a ball fired from a house fronting the plaza. ———-*■ Hr Ought to Know.

Editors: —Now that our new hoard of Aldermen are sworn in,.it may not he amiss to suggest to them some matters which they should consider and regulate, by a strict enforcement of such laws as may exist, and make and enforce new ones where it is necessary. First, then, wo need laws lor the pro tection of our city from tho boys who are found in our streets after 9 o'clock at night. Recent occurrences in our city should teach us a lesson in regard to the proper management of stripling boys, and if their parents are unwilling, or unable to make them keep good hours, and couduct themselves properly, you gentleman Aldermen should tako the matter in hand, and force them to go to their homes when the bell rings for 9 o’clock. This may appear rather tyran nical and oppressive, hut how much bet ter to hear down thus upon tho child, than to sec him swing from the gibbet or occupy the felon’s cell in the peniten tiary. No parent,who is unable to con trol his or her son, will object to a law of this kind. No injury can possibly result to any boy by restricting his sky-larking propensities. The power to make and enforce a law. I suppose, no one will for a moment question, for childron are not freemen, nor are they so regarded in law. To what ago this law should apply, might be somewhat difficult to determine. I should say from infancy to eighteen. If our boys will ruin and disgrace them selves, annoy the community, and bring down the grey hairs of their parents in sorrow to the gave, let it not be permitted by tho laws of our city—let at least one effort be made by the present Council to arrest crime among our children, and so shall they receive the thanks of a CITIZEN. Nicaragua Meeting at Mobile—The Resolutions, The following resolutions were adopted with great enthusiasm, at the meeting held in Mobile on Tuesday last, for the purpose of sympathizing with tho enter prise of General Walker, and of express ing their indignation at the unjustifiable interference of our own and the British Government, at Greytown, the other pro- j ceedings of which we published in our oolumns yesterday: Resolved, That we have heard with great gratification of tho safe arrival at Punta Arenas, Nicaragua, of General William j Walker and the emigrants who accompa- i nied him ; that we hail that event as the forerunner of the Americanization of Nicaragua, securing in the no distant fu ture the control of the great highways of trade, strengthening the position of our aountry upon this continent, and promis ing new power to the Southern States ; and that we regard it as the imperative j duty of Southern men especially to aid the movement in every proper form. Resolved, further, That General Walker having been elected on tho 13th of July, 1850, under a decree issued by tho then supremo government ot Nicaragua, Pres ident, must he regarded as the head de jure of that Republic, and that as such he has heretofore been recognized by our Government. Resolved, further, That the steamer j Fashion having been inspected and exam ined by the proper authorities both in New Orleans and this city, aud having obtained her clearance in due form, she had a rigiit to a free and unobstructed landing at her port of destination; and that the act of overhauling and inspect- | ing her at Punta Arenas by the command er of the U. S. sloop-of-war Saratoga was j without justification by the laws of na tions, and is only less censurable than | the conduct of Capt. Davis of the Navy, when lie forced Gen. Walker to capitulate to the Costa Rican forces a few months since. Resolved, further, That the conduct of Capt. Chatard, of the sloop-of-war Sara toga, at “Greytown,” in claiming to exer cise a protectorate over that-place, and acting as we are constrained to believe, in conjunctinn with the British Consul, in interfering with the movements of Gen. Walker after he had effected a landing was without warrant of law, unbecoming an American officer, not authorized, we hope, by instructions from his govern ment, and merits condemnation and cen sure. Resolved, further, That inasmuch as President Buchanan, in his Into message to Congress, and also his correspondence with the British Secretary of Foreign Af fairs, while he was minister near that court construed tho Clayton-Bulwer Trea ty of 1860 as excluding both tho United States aud Great Britain from occupying, colouizing, or exercising any dominion over any part of Ceutral America, he is, in the opinion of this meeting, bound to j issue the necessary orders to our naval officers, as will effectually prevent the re currt ’ce of such oonduct as that commit ted by Capt. Chatard. Resolved, That we concur in tho declar ation of Mr. Buchanan in his recent mes sage, that the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty was a violation of the “traditional and time honored policy of our country” in regard to the other States of the American con tinent, aud that in our judgment this gov ernment should take immediate steps for the abrogation of .“aid Geaty, and that the European powers should be given to understand that the interests of this country required that they should no longer interfere with the affairs of this continent. Resolved, further, That we cordially ap prove of the following resolutions now pending in the Legislature of this State, aud urge tlieir iwmediato adoption by that body, viz: Resolved by the Senate and House of Rep reseniatiaes of the State of Alabama, in Gen eral Assembly convened, That this General Assembly do cordially approve of the fol lowing declarations of the National Dem ocratic Convention held at Cincinnati in June, 186<‘>, in relation to the foreign policy of the Federal Government, viz : “The time has come for the people of the United States to declare themselves in favor of free seas aud progressive free trade throughout the world, and by sol emn manifestations to placo their moral iutiuenco at the side of their successful example. “That our geographical and political position in reference to other States of this continent no less than the interest of our commerce and tho developments of our growing power, requires that we should hold as sacred the principles in volved in the Mouroo doctrine ; their bearing aud import admit of uo miscon struction ; they should ho applied with unbending rigidity. “That the great highway which nature as well as tho assent of the States most immediately interested in its maintenance, has marked out for a free communication between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, constitutes one of the most important achievements realized by tho spirit of modern times, and the unconquerable en ergy of our people. That result should bo secured by a timely and efficient exer tion of the control which we have tho right to claim over it, nnd no power on earth should be suffered to impede or clog its progress by any interference with the relations it may suit our policy to estab lish between our government and tho gov ernment of the States within whose do minions it lies. “We can, under no circumstances, sur render our preponderance in the adjust ment of all questions arising out of it.” Resolved, further, That the General As sembly expect the present National Ad ministration to make every proper effort to ensure our ascendency in the Gulf of Mexico, aud to maintain a permanent protection of the great outlets through which are emptied into its waters the products rnised out of its soil, and the commodities created by the industry of the people of our Western valleys and of I the Union at large. Resolved, further, That in view of so j commanding an interest as that of inter oceanic communication between the oppo- j site shores of America, this General As sembly cannot but sympathize with tho Liberal Party in Nicaragua in their ef forts to regenerate that portion of the continent—that a successful issue of those efforts cannot but redound to the politi cal and commercial power of tho United States—that there is nothing in our con stitution and laws, or treaty stipulations, | to interfere with the right of individual citizens of this country to emigrato to Nicaragua, and if they think proper, to aid in the establishment of a government of liberal principles—and that in tho ex ercise of that right they can carry arms , with them. That while this General Assembly would not encourago military organiza tions within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, to wage war against a friendly power, nor sanction any of our neutrality laws, they assert, at the j same time, the right of individual citizens peaceably to leave the United States with the intention of becoming, if they desire it, the citizens of any other oountry, and that in doing so they should not be sub jected to seizure or search by Federal au thority. , . „ , . Resolved, further, That this General As- j sembly hold that the President of the United States is bound, by the resolutions of the National Democratic Convention, and the “Ostend Circular,” to use all the powers of the government to prevent the interference of European nations with 1 the affairs of this continent, and especial ’ ly to secure American influence and con trol on tho Isthmus of Nicaragua, ami thus obtain for the United States a safe and reliable communication between their Atlantic and Pacific possessions, and ; their incalculable advantages of Oriental traffic. Resolved, further, That the newspapers in this city be requested to publish the proceadings of this moating, aud that copies of the same ho forwarded to the President of the United States, to our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to the delegates from this county in our State Legislature. From the Mobile Register. Tile Nicaraguan Q,uestlon. The official report of the proceedings of the Nicaraguan meeting in this city on i Tuesday night is given in our columns ! this morning. The results of this great ] popular demonstration in favor of the en terprise of Walker in Central America, j were, we are fain to hope and believe, the initiation of a general and emphatic movement throughout the whole South in i behalf of a cause that so evidently and directly concerns the interests of our sec tion. There is no doubt that the doc trines nnd sentiments expressed in the resolutions adopted by the meeting, and in the speeches of the various distinguish ed orators on the occasion, reflect the universal opinion nnd feeling of the Southern people on tho questions involv ed. It is time that the South should rise up in the majesty of its united acclaim and make its voice heard in the Federal Capital on these questions. The policy of our government, for sev eral successive administrations, with re spect to Central America, has not been satisfactory to the national sentiment of the America people, nor especially to that of the South. The lofty position an nounced by President Monroe as our p, 1- icy with respect to the North American continent, and which has ever since been cherished and sustained by the most ar dent and determined sentiment of our people, has been compromised and virtu ally relinquished- While every consider ation of interest and national pride re quired that we should exercise the exclu sive political control and influence, with respect to European nations, in that im ] portant part of this continent, our Gov i eminent, instead of boldly vindicating our claims in this regard, has continued to temporize in disgraceful and compromis ing negotiations with Great Britain. It has even yielded to the insolent preten sions of that rapacious power advantages most detrimental and perilous to our na tional interest. It is time for the South at least, whose interests are most directly concerned in the destiny of Central Ame rica, to demand that the policy of our Government, with respect to that region, he redeemed from the ignominious com promises in which it has been involved, and elevated once more to the high and becoming ground intimated in the Monroe doctrine. The present Administration has given some earnest of its disposition to accom plish this desirable object; at least, to the extent of abrogating, if possible, the Clayton Bulwer Treaty. The public opinion of the whole nation demands that that odious engagement bo cancelled at once, and at all hazards. If the British Government will not consent to a peace ful abrogation of it, and that without the substitution of any other engagement calculated to trammel our Government in its policy, or our people in their ex pansion, let us resolve to get rid of it at any cost —let our Government proclaim that it will no longer he hound by this Treaty, and that it will abide the penal ties of a withdrwal from its engagements. We sincerely hope that President Bucha nan will not, as it might be inferred from certain words of his Message he is dis posed to do, enter into any obligations, continuing tho engagements of the Clay ton-Bulwer Treaty against our acquisi tions of territory in Central America. The portion of the Message from which this inference might be drawn is in these words, “While entertaining these senti ments” (in favor of an abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty) “l shall never theless not refuse to contribute to any reasonable adjustment of the Central American question, which is not incon sistent with the American interpretation of the Treaty.” From this language the inference may be drawn that Mr. Bu chanan is not unwilling to continue the engagements to which our government j was committed by the Clayton-Bulwer | treaty, never to occupy or colouize or exercise any authority over any part of Ceutral America. If such is his mean ing, wo at once, for our part, protest against such a policy. The South can never be satisfied with, or acquiesce in a policy which thus interposes a bar to her i natural expansion. This is altogether at war with everything she has had a right to expect from the Administration. We trust there is no real foundation for the apprehension which the language of the < message recited is calculated to suggest, aud that in relieving us from the coiupli- I cations of tho Clayton-Bulwer treaty, Mr. Buchanan will free us from auy odious restraint upon our liberty to extend our boncficicnt institutions and our regenera | ting population to every quarter of this western hemisphere. With respect to the enterprise of Gen. Walker, wo hope that the views aud sen ’ timents manifested in the resolutions of | the meeting on Tuesday night, aud in 1 the speeches on the occasion, as abstract ed in the proceedings which we publish, will have tho effect of inducing tho Ad ministration to reconsider its conclusions in this connection. Wo trust that President Buchanan will, I upon a consideration of tho points sug ] gested iu this intelligent utterance of ’ Southern opinion, be convinced that he has taken an erroneous view of the mat | ter, in regarding the late movement of 1 Gen. Walker from our shores as in viola tion of the neutrality laws. We hope tt iif he shall not be persuaded that it i is duty of our Government to reinstate v< n. Walker in the position whence he was I compelled to withdraw by the unlawful \ interfereuce of one of it officers, lie will at least conclude that it behooves it to forbear the interposition of any obstacle in his way towards himself regaining that position.

Some of our Montgomery cotempora ries are entertaining their readers with biographical sketches of the members of the Legislature of that State. From what we have seen of these sketches we are led to believe that if that body is the “assembled wisdom of the State,” as legislative bodies are generally termed, wc think the wisdom of Alabama is nothing to brag on. The last sketch, being the 19th, we take from the Messenger of Thursday. It is a sketch of Evau Calfee, of Coosa: This gcutlcuiau, who is the senior representative from the county of Coosa, was horn, we believe, in North Carolina. As he has had nothing to say during the session, except it be a “slight talk” on the resolutions proposing to ’oust Mr. Brewer of his seat, we have had no op portunity of judging of his talents. Asa man, we have ever found him strictly honest aud moral. He is a Dem ocrat, we believe. Demetrius. ftS“The flit*Tills ami acquaintances of Mrs. L. P.

Loss of appetite aud weakness impair the health, and want of activity makes tho mind discontented and unhappy. In cases where old age adds its influ ence, it is almost impossible to add vigor and health, and although many remedies have been tried, all have failed, until Bteiihave’s Holland Bitters wore known and used. In every case where they have been employed they have inva riably given strength and restored the appetite. They have become a great agent for thiß alone, and are used by many people who are suffering from loss of appetite and general debility. In cases of long standing chronic diseases, they act as a charm, invigorating the system, thus giving na ture another opportunity to repair physical inju ries.

It will cer tainly restore the natural color of the hair, if the directions are followed for a sufficient length of time. It also has produced astonishing effects in bringing out a growth of hair where the heud had been previously bald. Wood does not pretend that it will do this in all cases; and we think his candor is a good recommendation of the virtues which his restorative really possesses. If the roots of the hair are destroyed, no human power can makt them grow again; but where there is any vitality left in the root, the restorative will soon renew the hair in all its pristine vigor. It has done this re peatedly when all other remedies had failed. It is therefore worth while in all cases to make the ex periment. For clearing tho head of dandruff, and thickening and strengthening the hair it has no rival.— Western Patriot. Sold by all respectable Druggists in city and country.

But how many faded flowers do we see on the great boquet of humanity; men and ladies, too, whose beuuty lias fled with almost the lightning’s speed, and whose forms are sinking with premature de cay. What a pity it is that all such do not know that ere disease lias taken hold upon the vital parts, a simple preparation would restore them to health, to joy, and to beauty. Such a preparation, for instance, as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which drives away despondency, strengthens the weaker parts, aud restores the whole system. It is recommended by physicians, and commended by all who have used it. For sale in Columbus, Ga., at the Drug Store of Dec. 16-2 w PEMBERTON, NUCKOLLS * CO.
