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.
The Louina Eaglo wishes to wager that
a white man wears the overcoat which a
sharp darkie diddled one of our physi
cians out of a lew nights since. Well, he
ought to know. Perhaps ho was over
here about that time. Wo don’t take the
bet.

Our City—No. 1.
Messrs. 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.

Biographical Sketches.
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.

OF THE STEAMER
ADRIATIC.
Cotton Dull—Declined.
New York, Dec. 21—a. in.
The American Mail steamship Adriatic
: has arrived with advices from Liverpool
to the 9th instant.
The accounts by the Adriatic report the
trade af Liverpool and Manchester in cot
ton and goods as very dull and drooping,
and prices nominal, the sales of cotton
for the three days up to the sailing of the
steamer, Wednesday evening, December
9th, amounting to only 9000 bales. Mid
j dling Uplands is quoted at 6jd.
Consols had advanced a quarter.
The Bank of France had reduced the
rate of interest 1 per cent..
SECOND DISPATCH.
New York, Dec. 21—noon.
The cheek given to the upward tenden
cy of trade in Liverpool and Manchester,
was caused by the heavy Continental fail
ures, and condition of monetary affairs
at Hamburg aud throughout the German
States.
THIRD DISPATCH.
New York, Dec. 21—p. in.
The latest dates from Liverpool to Wed
nesday evening, £ecember 21st, report
the sales of the day at 4000 bales at
decline. Middling Uplands O^d.
The trade of Manchester had become
stagnant.
AGE AND DEBILITY.—As old age comes creep
ing on, it briugs many attendant infirmities. 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.

INSECT BITES.—We are informed that an anti
dote for the poison of mosqnitoes, bees, wasps, and
other annoying insects,lias been found in Burnett’s
K.ai.listox, or Orient Water, prepared by Messrs.
Joseph Burnett & Cos. This preparation contains
a peculiar property, which instantly neutralizes
the poison and allays the inflammation caused hy
bites and stings of insects. —Boston Journal.

WOOD'S RESTORATIVE.—Of ail the restora
tives for the hair that have been invented, Wood’s
pro-eminently claims the first place. 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.

ASTHMA.—Upwards of one thousand of the
worst cases of Asthma have been relieved by using
Jonas Whitcomb’s Remedy for Asthma. In no
case of purely asthmatic character lias it failed to
give prompt relief, and in many cases a permanent
cure lias been effectud. No danger need be appro
hended from its use. An infant may tako it with
perfect safety.

FADED FLOWERS.—It causes sad reflections to
take up a boquet once smiling with beauty, and
gaze upon its withered leaves and faded colors.
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.
