To Corhesfonbents.— Wc must say to “ 0.
P.” that it is essential with ns that correspon
dents should accompany their communications
with their names. We like his remarks and
approve his object, but cannot depart from n
wholesome and necessary rule, not to publish
communications without know ing their author
ship.
Robbery. —The store of Mr. John M. Har
mon was entered on Tuesday night last, and a
mmiberof articles stolen. It wftuld be welle- j
nough for our citizens to see that their doors
pre locked before retiring, for several trifling
robberies have been committed w ithin the last
fortnight.
T.ic Senator from Mclntosh is accused by
the Georgian of being instrumental in de- j
feating the Rail Road Hill offered by the Sen
ator from Chatham, and that some strictures
are intended to be cast upon him by placing
his name in italict. We feel authorised in
staling that the Senator from tills county is i
not hostile to the interest of Savannah. On
the contrary he feels us every Georgian should
a lively interest in her prosperity—but on this
occasion he no doubt felt himself bound, not
only by a sense of duty to his constituents, but |
by a duty which he owed to the community nt I
large, to vote against it. The Hill wished the ;
State to lend her credit to the Central Rail
Rond Company for a million of dollars. This
wouldhave been equivalent to lending them
that amount. Where was the State to get it?
So far from having her Treasury full, she will I
have to borrow money to pay the members of
the Legislature. There is not a dollar in her !
vaults. The funds appropriated by the last
Legislature to educate the poor children of our !
county hav e not been paid to the commission
ers of the poor school, and cannot now be paid
for the want offends. Had he voted for the
Chatham Bill, it would not only have had a
tendency to direct the trade of the AJatatna
haw from Darien, which is her principal sup
port. but the rattle of our industrious farmers
would have to he taxed to meet the ill-timed
and ruinous expenditure of the State. There)
was at that time a Hill under discussion in the
House to impose a tax on all kinds of stock, •
to build, if we mistake not, Rail Roads which
will never pay 6 |>cr cent on the investment.
Wc trust that the delegation from Mclntosh j
will always possess independence enough to t
protect the rights of their constituents and vote i
as they think proper, regardless of the opinion j
of any one.
E.rtracfaf a letter In the editor of the Darien
Herald, dated
Washington City, Dec. 5, 1830.
As I have now something to write about I
will trouble’* you with a letter. I came here
with almost the rapidity of lightning and with
out the least accident. On Tuesday afternoon
at 4 o’clock I left Charleston in the steamboat,
was at Wilmington the next morning to break
fast, took the rail road at 9 o’clock and on
Thursdnv a! 12, was at Not folk, visited the
nav v yard at Gosport, saw the great ship Penn
sylvania of 1 tO, and others of our line of bat
tle ships and frigates. Left at 3 o’clock, went
up the Chesapeake bay that night, reached
Haltimore at day-light, after a sound sleep
breakfasted there, and in 2$ hours was in
Washington, a distance of 680 miles from j
Charleston. This was rapid travelling enough :
you will say, and the whole cost from Charles- j
ton only about $34.
On Monday the 2d, as yon ate aware, was the 1
day of the meeting of congress, and all the
members of the House except oneor two, were
mi their places at the hour of 12 o’clock. The
ffcates of five members elect front New Jersey,
were contested. These five were opposed to
the administration and had the regular com
mission from Ihe Governor of New Jersey to
take their seats in congress. The five oppo
nents who were administration men, had noth
ing but a certificate from some under officer.
The parties were believed to be so nearly divi
ded in the House, that if the five W higs from
New Jersey were permitted to take their scats
it was supposed the opposition would elect
their Speaker. If they were excluded the ad
ministration would elect theirs. Hence it be
came important to exclude the five Whigs from
taking their scats. According to all former ]
practice they having the Governor’s commis
sion were entitled to take their seats, vote in
electing the Speaker and retain their scats un
til their case was investigated and decided upon
by the House. To prevent them however from
taking their scats, as had been customary in
such cases, an obstruction was, as it seemed,
to be thrown in the way. The clerk, when
he got to New Jersey declined to go on with
the call of the roll. Motion after motion was
made, but no question could be put or dedided
for the clerk decided that he had no power to
put a question and if he had, who was to vote
on it? as not even a quorum had been called
and most of us still had our commissions in
our pockets. So we had been meeting and de
bating for four days, and might have gone on
meeting and debating forever, had not Mr. J.
Q. Adams to-day about three o’clock got up
aud made a strong and powerful appeal to the
meeting in behalf of the country, that the mem
bers would disregard the clerk, put him aside
altogether, and proceed to Organise them
selves into a meeting and appoint a chairman.
| Upon this powerful appeal, Mr. Illicit of South
i Carolina, moved that Mr. Adams himself take
the chair. On this motion there was a majority
nnd Mr. Adams took the chair. In order to
j B* vc time to the excitement to subside, a mo
] tion was made to adjourn, which was agreed
to and we adjourned over until to morrow 12
j o’clock. So that we are still a mere meeting
nnd not a House of Representatives. What
| will be done when wc moot to-morrow, it is
I impossible to say. If the administration men
j throw no ohstrnetion In the way, I know that
j the opposition will not, and in such case we
will form a House and proceed to business. If
obstructions are thrown in the way I do not
know when we will. My impression is, that
there is a majority for admitting the Jersey
Whigs to take their seats. In that case we
will find but little difficulty in eventually or
| ganizing the House. You will perceive at
j once that if we bad permitted the Jerseymen
who held their commissions to ho excluded,
j because their election was protested against
that the Congress would hereafter be placed
immediately subject lo the will oftheadmin
istration; for the administration would in fu
ture cases only have to protest the sealsofa
sufficient number to give them a majority to
organize the House their own way, nnd they [
might thus always control the congress. This,
therefore has been a desperate struggle, to pre-
! serve constitutional liberty and the indepen
dence of congress, and I trust we will pre
i vail. I am happy to say that during the whole
of the struggle, although we. had no chairman
and no rules to govern or restrain the mem
bers, yet the whole was conducted in a gen
tlemanly way, as much sons if we had been in
a regularly organized House : And that the
! galleries though crowded all the time with per
haps a thousand people, kept the utmost quiet
and order until Mr. Adams was put into the
chair, when there was a loud clapping of hands
and a little, hissing, which was however in
| slantly cheeked. Such a scene of order and
decorum could not, ander the circumstances,
have been exhibited in any other country and
1 must have surprised Iho foreign Kmbassadors
and others who do not understand the genius
of our government and the character of our
j people.

FOB THE DARIEN HERALD.
Tn the Editor :
You mention in the last Herald an extraor
dinary Pigeon hunt, in Arkansas. I send you
the follow ing for insertion in your paper :
A hunting party lately killed on one of our
sea Islands in four hunts, twenty-four Deer,
several Raccoons, one Alligator and wounded
I several Deer which the dogs caught slid de
j stroyed before they could be found, and had
seventy-four shots.
On a neighboring Island three sportsmen’
killed in four bunts, one hundred and twenty
four /{/dibits, which you will say heats the,
Arkansas Pigeon shooter, as these hunts com
menced after breakfast and ended before din
ner.
The Charleston Mercury recommends that
’ Georgia and Virginia should proceed to con-
I fiscate the property and shipping of the citi-
I zens of Maine and New York, and that they
should enforce a strict non-intercour3c with all
the slave stealing states. The, same paper
closes by observing that “nothing but a base
spirit of submission, or a treacherous hatred
of Elate /lights, would induce any man to
talk of delay and moderation on a question
like this.”
[nv REQUEST.]
At a convention of Officers of the Ist Regi
ment Georgia Militia, held in the City of Sav
annah on the evening of the lfllh Dec. inst—
! Capt. John W. Anderson was called to tile
i Chair, and Lieu. W. llruen, appointed Secre
! tary. The object of the. meeting having been
I explained by the Chairman, the following
, preamble and resolutions were offered by Capt.
Win. P. Bowen, and unanimously carried:—
Feeling a deep interest in the welfare and
continued prosperity of the Ist Regiment
Georgia Militia, and believing it a duty to ex
press onr opinions and feelings whenever that
interest is jeoparded, and -to prevent thereby,
as far as we can any injury that may arise
from causes beyond our control :
We deem proper first, to remark, that the
surest bulwark of defence and protection to
our country, is a well disciplined Militia—that
to promote and obtain that end, is to organize
and render more perfect the system of Tactics
by placiim in command efficient and competent
it is the duty of a proper consti
tuted authorities toselect individuals for high
and responsible commands, who are known to
possess ability and military talent—that when
such officers are appointed, and have, for a se
ries of years, discharged with zeal and fidelity
the trusts reposed in them, that they arejustly
entitled to the ! Soldier’s best Reward’ the ap
probation of his country, and merits promo
tion whenever the proper authorities have
an opportunity to confer it; And, whereas,
the legislature of Georgia at the late election
for Maj. General of the Ist Division, refused
by their vote to elect a meritorious and gallant.
officer, one of Georgia’s gifted sons, and of
whom we have just reason to be proud of for
’ his services to his State and Countiy, and
whose claim to promotion we are fully satisfied
he was justly entitled ;
. Be it therefore Resolved. , That we disap
prove of the election of Major General of the
Ist. Division, as determined by the Legislature
of this State.
Resolved , That Brigadier Gen’l Charles
Floyd was entitled to the promotion ol Major
General of the first Division Georgia Militia,
not only from the zeal, ability and fidelity he
ever discharged the higli and responsible du
ties of his office, but for the promptness with
which he repaired to the call of his State, and
she services he had rendered her m the remov
al of the Cherokees and dispersing and driving
the Indians from the Okefenokee.
Resolved , It be recommended to the mem
bers of the Legislature, that in future elections
of this kind, they will best promote the inter
ests of the State by electing to high and res
ponsible military commands, men who are
competent to discharge the duties of such sta
tions.

Charleston and Hamming Rau. Road.—
The income for this mad for ihe last month has
exceeded by 00 per cent, its revenue during
any equal period since its completion, amoun
ting to $05,000. During November 13,000
bales of cotton reached Charleston by this con
i vcyance, the highest number of bales for any
one month previously having never exceeded
8600 bales. Should the business for the pre-
sent month be in any thing like the same
the company be able to extinguish a part
of its debts or declare a dividend for its stock
holders.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Below will be found the conclusion of the
proceedings of the House of Heprcsentaves
Saturday night, in tho attempt to elect a Speak
er. It will be observed that the votes shifted
very much at last, and that the leading candi
dates on both sides were in effect dropped, If
we may judge from the last ballot, the contest
lies between Mr. Lewis of Ala. a Nullificr and
Sublreasury man, and Mr. Hunter of Va, also
a Nullificr and Sublreasury man.
The House then proceeded to a fourth ballot,
and the result being announced, appeared as
follows :

I'rom the Augusta Constitutionalist.
Miu.kdgkville, Dec. 15, 1839.
A- I expected in the House yesterday, Ihe
bill of the Serrate, amending and extending the
powers of the Central Hank, was taken tip,
read a second time, and made the order of the
day for Tuesday next. The bill of the House,
the consideration of which has occupied much
•lime in this branch of the legislature, is to be
abandoned, and the bill of the Senate passed,
authorizes the directors of the Central Hank to
issue bills for twice the amount of the capital,
and to sell, at not less than par value, the stock
owned by the slate in the banks of Augusta,
Darien, State of Georgia, and the Planters’
Bank of Savannah, and that the hill withdraws
from the Governor the choice of the three di
rectors, and gives it to the Legislature. There
is but very little doubt of the passage of the
bill by the House in its present shape. My
opinion of Ihe Central Bank is well known ;
I am therefore opposed to any extension of the
powers and operatians of the institution, but if
even I was well disposed towards an incubus
which will press down and destoy the vitals of
our body politic I would, notwithstanding,
raise my voice against the consummation of
an act, which, I firmly believe, originated in
seduction and personal influence.
The choice of directors by the legislature
may show the influence which has been exer
ted in passing the bill as it is. Why is the
mode of choosing directors changed ? In the
bill of the House, thin change was rejected ;
but now I have been told that a majority of
the House will concur with the Senate in the
change ! I shall wait the issue before I say
more about the proceedings of the legislature
on this important bill.
In tlie Senate, yesterday, the bill to amend
the charier of the Bank of the State of Georgia,
as regardSthe branch at this place, was passed
yeas 40 nays 35.
Avery important bill passed the House
yesterday afternoon, yeas 113, nays 48. It is
a bill to repeal the charter of the Western In
surance and Trust Company of Columbus,
granted in 1830. This is the charter to which
the attention of the readers of the Constitution
alists was called more than a year ago, for the
extraordinary powers granted to the company
and for the manner it was appended, as an a
mendment, to the act incorporating an insur
rauce company in Savannah, and the Ogle
thorpe Insurance Company of Macon.
Doei..—We learn from a gentleman who ar
rived in this city on Sunday last, in the stage
from Talahassee, that a duel was fought near
the latter place, on the 13th inst., between Gen.
Leigh Read, and Col. Augustus Alston. Wea
pons, rifles —distance, thirty paces. At the
first fire, Gen. K. shot his antagonist through
the heart, and he expired instantly. The dif
ficulty, we understand, grew out of some po
litical controvcrry. — Brunswick Advocate,

Our stock of Cotton was reduced a week
ago to between I and 2,(HX) bales, ulmost all
New Orleans. During the week about 0,000
have arrived and 2,000 been sold, leaving a
bout 8,000 bales as the present stock. Since
the new receipts have come upon the market,
there lias been more uelivily, though prices
have yielded as business lias increased.—The
range of prices is 9 a 12 1-2 cents for all qual
ities. The sales of Uplands for the last day or
two, have ranged from oto 11 cents. To-day
the market has been quiet, perhaps owing to
the merchants being occupied with their cor
respondent for the Liverpool, though the ex
pectation is of lovvor rates still, and so buyers
ore rather disposed to let time run on. The
sales of riee Ibis week reach 400 tierces, chief
ly for exportation, at $3 a 3,18 per 1(H) lbs.—
There have been also some considerable ship
ments in first bands. Flour has been ship
ped a good deal this week to England, France
West Indies, Nova Seotia, &r. The closing
price for Gennssce is $5,88 a $6, the large
sales being chiefly nt $6 —Georgetown also nt
$6. v orn is quite cheap. Several cargoes of
