DARI JON HERALD. - IT jp —y-'Hi “tr~ • - —y-y y** ’ tz&mtasto Tiictkday Horning, Dcrnnbcr 91. 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. T’SEH! (JODNTy HSSTARS};* i | Re.tot fed. That wo express our thanks to | Col. Joseph W. Jackson and Lieut. Col.

Renal red, Thai the proceedings of this meet ing be published in our city papers, nnd a copy be forwarded to Gen. Floyd —and that the Se eretary also furnish Col. Jnekson nnd Lieut. Col. Milieu, each, with n copy. There being no further business, the meet ing adjourned. * JOHN W. ANDERSON. Capt. Com’g Rep. Hines. W. Hrcen, Lieut, S. V. Guards, See’y. Fi.outnA.—A proclamation, signed by nobo dy, appears in the Quincy Sentinel of Novem ber 29, declaring that the constitution, adop ted by the convention recently held at St. Jo seph, lias been ratified by the people of Florida. \\ e presume that the proclamation was inten ded lo be signed by the president of iltc con vention. 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 : Whole number of votes 234 Necessary to a choice 118 John W. Jones 101 W. C. Dawson 77 R. M. T.

The House then adjourned at nine o’clock. 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, inst. Nkw-Yohk, Nov. 14, 1839. 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.
