'The Deaths In the Southern, Middle and IVothern
Counties of Georgia Contrasted.
The last number of the Southern Medical &
Surgical Journal contains an interesting article
from the pen of Dr. John S. Wilson, of Muscogee
county, in relation to the comparative healthiness
of the Southern, Middle and Northern counties of
Georgia. The facts brought to light by Dr. Wilson,
are collated from the last census, and are conse
quently authentic. They show that the bills of
mortality are least in the Northern tier of counties,
or the Cherokee region, and greatest in the Middle
tier. In other words, the upper part of the State
is the healthiest, the lower part the next, and the
middle the least so. This statement will astonish
many who have been in tlx© habit ot believing, that
the .Southern portion of the State was the sickliest.
A few years’ residence here had satisfied us, before
we saw Dr. Wilson’s tables, that the conclusion to
which he has arrived is literally tme. Indeed, on
the immediate seaboard the people enjoy as good
health and live to as great ago as those who reside
in the mountainous districts. There are two per
sons now living in this city who are bordering on
a century.
Dr. Wilson says:—There are some facts revealed
by the Last Census in Georgia, of such a striking
character, that they cannot fail to engage the at
tention of the medical profession; and I have there
fore compiled the following table (which has cost
me much labor) for the benefit of‘the readers of the
Journal. The facts alluded to above, and which
will be disclosed by the table are these, viz: Ist.
That the Middle Counties of Georgia are less salu
brioifc than the Southern ones, contrary to the com
mon opinion. 2d. That Georgia, taken as a whole,
stands unrivalled in salubrity, giving less than
twelve deaths in one thousand persons. BJ. The
table will present some striking facts in connec
tion with the health of different counties, which
arc sufficiently remarkable to engage the attention
of all who wish to find a healthy location. I have
divided the State into three parts—Northern,
Southern and Middle—giving the total population
of each county, and the number of deaths during
the year 1850, together with the proportion of
deaths in. each Division, &c.—as follows:

In contrasting the mortality of Chatham county,
as shown in the table, with the mortality of other
counties in the State, (says the News of this place)
it should be borne in mind that a considerable
number of the deaths in this county are of inva
lids who seek, too late, our climate for the restora
tion ofhealth. Besides those, there is a large num
’ ber of newly arrived and unaccliraatod emigrants
to be taken into account, in addition to numerous
accidental deaths on board ships in the harbor,
TB*lrovvning. &c. We feel very confident That if the
facts could be got at, the ordinary mortality of the
native and permanent population of Chatham coun
ty would compare favorably with that of any other
county in the State.
Eater From Texas.
By the arrival of the steamship Louisiana, Capt.
Lawless, we have received our regular files of Gal
veston papers to the 27th ult.
We learn that Trinity and Brazosrivors had risen,
and were in lino navigable condition. The Brazos
rose twenty feet in two days.
The Lavaca Commercial says that there was re
cently a mutiny on the steamship Cincinnati at
that place. The hands had got drunk and threat
ened to take possession of the boat. After some
trouble the mutiny was quelled and the ringleaders
arrested.
Among the acts passed by the Legislature re
st cently adjourned, was one to incorporate the Peo
ple's Line of Gulf steamers.
The Journal says it is expected that the company
incorporated by this act will be able, by means of
their corporate charter, to sustain competition
with the Harris & Morgan line. They are requir
ed, within a certain time, to have three or four low
pressure steamers plying between New Orleans,
Galveston and Matagorda Bay. The fare between
Gai veston and New Orleans is limited to ten dollars;
the freight between the same points to fifty cents
per barrel.
Another act was passed to incorporate the Texas
Railroad Company.
The road is to commence at Galveston, run
northwardly between the Brazos and Trinity, with
the privilege ofbranching northeastwardly tb-m»rd»
Bed River, and northwestwardly towards the head
waters of the Brazos. The act grants a bonus of
live thousand one hundred and twenty acres of land
scrip for every mile of said railroad which shall be
constructed.
Also an act supplementary to an act to establish
the Galveston ana Red River Railroad Company.
This is an extension of tho charter heretofore
granted to Col. Allen. Sumo grant of land us in
the preceding.
Aiso an act to confirm the titles of actual settlers
of Galveston Island, claiming under patent to Hall
ones.
This act relinquishes the title of the State to any
number of acres not exceeding twenty in favor of
every person who was at the date of the pas
sage of the act an actual occupant, and whose title
was recorded previous to the first day of December
last.
During the last year there wore 155 deaths in
Galveston• Picayune.
From Santa Fe.—The St. Louis Republican has
news from Santa Fe to January 81st. Tho Gazette
ot the 24th says that from the Placer mines Major
Vaughn had sent in several samples of gold, one
lump weighing three ounces, two of about an ounce,
rnd about six ounces in smaller particles. The
Hume paper contains a letter from H. S. Johnson,
one of the editors ot tho Gazette, which gives a
very lavorable account of the prospects, and asserts
very positively the existence of gold on the Gila
river. The writer says :
For miles before coming to the placer, the ex
ternal signs of gold are abundant. Arrived at the
placer, we dug from eight to a dozen holes in tho
side of the hill, and from each one we took one or
more particles of as good gold as I ever saw. Wo
had but one light crow-bar and two shovels, and
were not at the placer more than twenty-four hours,
if that, but wo took out enough of gold to satisfy
any reasonable man that something handsome may
he found by searching. Fear of the Indians pre
vented us from sojourning there several days.
The papers contain the reply of Win. S' Allen,
Esq., Secretary of the Territory, in reply to the
Legislature, showing the reasons why he would
not accede to their resolutions concerning the ap
propriation of the territorial money in his hands.

The MUtodgevlito Movement.
tbdfcr tho bead of the Presidency, the Alabama
Monitor takes occasion to refer to tho action of tho
MilledgeVillo meeting in the following tenus :
The Presidency*. —The recent action of a legis
lative caucus in Georgia, proposing an uncondition
al surrender of the Union party in that State into
the hands of the Baltimore Convention, finds little
favor among the people. We copy elsew here an
article from tho Columbus Enquirer, which
may be taken as expressive of the general
tone of senttmentjwith wmch the proposition
has been receiveAiby those whose interests it was
so well calculatedTo betray. We have also trans
ferred to our columns a spirited letter from the elo
quent Stephens, signifying Lis utter con
demnation of the suicidal policy of the course re
commended at MilledgeviLe.
We do not knew when wc have had occasion to
notice a proceeding of any respectable public body
whether of politicians or others, which seemed to
us as excessively unwise, not to say absurd, as
that to which these articles relate. The only argu
ment by which it cun in any manner be defended,
is one which works both ways, so as to show that
it is not defensible at all. This is, by taking part
in the convention, the south may exert her influ
ence to prevent a candidate hostile to her interests
from being put into nomination. Yet, when we
consider what is to be the composition of the
great body of the convention—that it is to he made
up, on the one hand, of northern democrats, who
have everywhere coalesced with freesoik rs to se
cure their party ascendancy, and, on the other of
Southern democrats who'have resolved, for the
same reason, to ignore the question of Southern
rights, we may easily see how insignificant will be
the influence which the Georgia Union delegates
will be able to exert in such a convention. Who
iho nominees will be it is at present utter y impos
sible to conjecture. It is not even safe to assume
that they will be found anywhere in tho long list of
names which have been brought forward as yet in
the papers of the party north or south. On this
point tnc history of 1844 is instructive. Mr. Polk’s
nomination took the whole country by surprise ;
and so may the nominations of the present year
at Baltimore. But one thing is tolerably certain.
The nominees whoever they may be, must be men
who are not unacceptable to that great section of
the democratic party north, of whose feelings and
views such men as Van Buren Kantoul, Sumner,
King, and Halo are the exponents ;
for without their aid, the great States of New
York and Ohio, besides many smaller ones, will bo
inevitably lost. It is not improbable that names
will be sought for, as in 1844, which Imvejuot been
already mixed up with the presidential question,
and which are imperfectly known to the southern
people. In this manner, a march may bo quietly
stolen upon us, and the south be treacherously
“sold to the Dutch.”
Without the power, therefore, to control the
nomination, the Union delegates from Georgia
would accomplish nothing, except solely to pledge
their party to the nominees. Such a pledge is im
plied in the act of entering the convention. They
go, professedly, to make their voices heard. Were
their influence sufficient to control the rssult, they
would hold others bound to abide by it ; and the
same rule must be extended to them. If their
votes in the case supnosed,could not hind others—if
by exerting their innuence, they do not mean to
hind others —what is the purpose, and what the
advantage, of going into convention at a1 < The
measure then, which they would mote to .heir op
ponents, if the power were theirs, must b( receiv
ed as a just measure, when meted out to them
selves. ' Th«» must go with the purpose of accep
ting the result of the convention’s delibc rations,
and giving it their support, or they cann it take
part in it in good faith.
And here it is that, as we have alrcrdy said, the
only argument which is good enough to be even
specious in favor of the course proposed in Geor
gia, breaks entirely down. The Milledgevillc cau
cus propose to use the Baltimore Convention,
while the inevitable result must be, that they will
only succeed in being used by it. They will find
themselves in the position of the Irishmen who
caught the Tartar. The Tartar will neither come
with them, nor let them come away by themselves.
There is another consideration which deserves
to betaken into the account. The Union delegates
of Georgia are not expected to present themselves
at Baltimore as democratic delegates. They are to
go, if this plan is carried out, as representatives of
the Union party. But in this character, how can
they expect to be received into a body which claim
to be explicitly democratic. We presume that they
would not ho'received at all, without an under
standing that they lay aside their character, and
betray the party that elected them. Or, in case
they refuse to do this, we presume that they could
only bo admitted to seats by courtesy, as a kind of
embassy from a large body of electors whom tho
Convention might be disposed to conciliate, but
without debate or vote. In this case they might
sit as silent spectators of the process by which the
South is to be sold ; but we imagine that their po
sition would be so little respectable that it would
border on the ludicrous.
The. true course for the Union party of the South
to pursue, we believe to be that which has been
already indicated in the Alabama State Convention,
at Montgomery, and which has been received with
favor by tho proas and people of Georgia, if not
by their legislative caucus ; and that is to take
part in neither of the national nominating conven
tions, but to watch their results and choose be
tween them, or if necessary reject both. By such
a course the influence of the South will be exerted
much more efficiently than it would bo through a
set of delegates constituting a feeble minority,
bound to submit to a result which they have ho
power to control. The Union party standing un
pledged but watchful —willing to support an un
exceptionable nomination, but certain to repudiate
a bad one—will he felt as an element of the body
politic, which it will not do to disregard. It will
thus exercise a wholesome inbuence ove r both
conventions, and lead to greater caution in the
selection of candidates. Being at the same time
wholly untrammelod, it may proceed independent
ly, in case of disappointed from both quarters, to
select its own candidates, and act in such a man
ner as at least to vindicate its consistency, and its
fidelity to the constitution, whatever may be tho
prospect of its success.
The Beckption of Mr. Laborde. — A letter from
this city in the N. Y. Times of the 19th ult. states
that the Spanish Consul, on his return heie, was
received with insults and opprobium, and that nu
infuriated mob even seized and trampled upon the
Spanish flag. These stories arc copied, with some
embellishment, into other Northern papers, and
have served to throw discredit upon our communi
ty. It is strange that any inhabitant of N, Orleans
should so far forget his allegiance to truth as to
circulate such manifest and dishonorable false
hoods. We can scarcely imagine that there is any
one here who would be guilty of it, and we would
prefer to believe that the Times lias been imposed
on by some one out of the city, to crediting that a
resident of New Orleans could so villify and slan
der the community in which he lives* It is true
that Mr. Laborde was not received with any warm
manifestations of public sympathy ; they were not
nominated in the bond, nor were they a requisite
portion of the atonement which wc had been or
dered to render. But so far ns the absence of any
decisive demonstration could be construed into an
acknowledgment of respect for the person ai d po
sition of Mr. Laborde, he must certainly havo been
satisfied with his reception. Probably the same
vigorous imagination which found tho Consul in
August immured in the parish prison, and the
building surrounded by 2.000 intimate men, cla
moring for his life, conjured up this last horrible
spectacle of the Spanish flag torn from its tariff and
trampled in the earth by the citizens of New Or
leans.—Picayune.
Private Fortunes of Great Personages.—Croe
sus possessed iiflandcd property, a fortune equal to
£1,700,000, besides a large sum of money, slaves
aud furniture, which amounted to an equal sum.
He used to say that a citizen Yvho had not a fortune
sufficient to support an army or a legion, did not
deserve tbe lital of a rich man. Thu philosopher
Seneca, had a fortune of £8,500,000. Tiberius at
his death, left £25,625,000, which Caliuga spent in
less than twelve months, Vespasian, on ascending
the throne, estimated all the expenses of the State
at £85,000,000. The debts of Milo amounted to
£600,000. Cspzar, before he entered upon any
office, owed £2,995,000. lie had purchased the
friendship of Curio for £500,000, and that of Lucius
Paul us for £BOO,OOO. At tlie time of the as
sasiuation of Julius Csezar, Antony was in debt to
the amount of £300,000, this sum” on the ides of
March ; and it was paid before the kalends of April
ho squandered £147,000,000, of the public treasure.
Appius squandered in debauchery £500,000 and
finding, on examination of the state of his affairs,
he had no more than £BO,OOO he poisoned hinself,
because he considered that sum insufficient f< .r his
maintenance. —Julius Csezar gave Servile the
mother of Brutus a pearl valued at £40,000 Cleo
patra, at an entertainment given to Antony, dis
solved in vinegar a pearl worth £BO,OOO, and swal
lowed it. Claudius the sou of Esopus the coinme
dian, swallowed one worth £7,000. One single
dish cost Esopus £BO,OOO. Caligula spent for one
supper £BO,OOO, and Heliqgabalus £20,000. Tho
usual cost of a repast for Lucullus was £20,000;
the fish from Ms fish-ponds was sold for £35,000.
Makino void a Pardon. — Win. Stettler, recently
convicted in Philadelphia of counterfeiting, was
on Friday last granted a now trial by judge Kane.
It will, no doubt, be remembered, he was found
guilty ©u tho evidence of an accomplice, but sub
sequently pardoned by tlie President. Judge
Kane has decided that the pardon, to he ’-alid,
must show that the President knew all the facts
of the case, the offehce, the turpitude of the offen
der, and the punishment.. In this case the par
don was croneous in its recital ot these facts and
was therefore void.

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING,.. MARCH 10, IBC2.
Our Mammoth Weekly.
We feel especial pleasure in calling the attention
of our friends, and the public to our Mammoth
Weekly Sheet of to-day, in its enlarged and im
proved form. Since the late conflagration its pro
portions have been necessarily materially curtailed,
until the last two weeks, and then the paper was
so small and inferior, (our regular supply not hav
ing been received in time) that we preferred not
to allude to the enlargement. It is now larger than
ever before, and greatly the largest paper in the
state, and presents a quantity and variety of mat
ter that will certainly commend it to the favorable
consideration of a reading and discriminating pub
lic. In short, it is our purpose to make it emi
nently a newspaper, and the man who reads it
will be “posted up’’ i#the progress of events.
The number to-day is particularly attractive—
’ having the justly celebrated oration of Mr. Web
stek complete, copious details of the current news
of the day, foreign and domestic, general and com
mercial, and a groat variety of interesting miscel
lany, politics, &c.
Freedom of the Press In France.
The European correspondent of the Now York
Commercial Advertiser contains the following sy
nopsis of the recent decree for the government of
the French Press, which wo commend to the care
ful consideration of the reader;
“ In France the chief event of the week has
' been the publication of the new press laws. They
are more impudently despotic than had been anti
cipated. 1 >aily papers are to deposit caution money
to the amount of SIO,OOO, and they are also to be
r subject to a heavy stamp. The police are to de
cide upon all their offences and the “publication
or reproduction of false news” is to be visited by
a flne not exceeding S2OO. The same is to be riio
case if any thing appears of “a nature to trouble
the public peace,” the police being the solo judges
upon the point.
“ No proofby witnesses is to be admitted to
establish the truth of “insulting or defamatory
statements,” and it is forbidden to publish »,ny
, report of trials for press offences. It is interclic
■ tea also from giving any account of the proceed
ings of the legislative bodies. Foreign newspapers
of all kinds are also prohibited, unless admitted
by the special authority of the Government, and
finally, “no drawings, engravings, lithographs,
i medals, prints or emblems” are to bo published,
■ exhibited or offered for sale, without the previous
* sanction of the Minister of Police.”
1 Our object in commending this to the reader’s
attention is, to submit a few thoughts which its
perusal suggested to our mind. It is but a short
• time since that the people who are now submit
‘ ting to this degradation proclaimed France a
Republic, and themselves model Republicans.—
■ Like ail new converts to a principle, they were so
zealous as to assume the cbaructers of teachers of
Republicanism—even to Americans, who bad been
reared under its protecting influence. A few short
moons, and we find them-living under the most
| abject, and degrading, despotism of any higldy
cultivated people on the globe; so much so, that
> they have not even the semblance of liberty, and
* cannot enjoy any of its blessings. While in this
train of reflection, it occurred to us, that what
( was Republicanism in Franco was Republicanism
' in Germany, and Hungary, and indeed throughout
\ the continent of Europe. In short, that while
they professed to be the most learned and success
i ful teachers of a great principle in the science of
government, they are themselves totally ignorant
of its rudiments, and wholly incapable of admin
• istering a government in accordance with its
teachings. It is such men as those who aspire to
be teachers of Republicanism in America. Such
are Kknkel and Kossuth, —the latter of whom
exposed his gross ignorance of our Republican
institutions, or his great want of common sense, by
parading through the country in the character of
a public mendicant, with an armed body-guard at
his heels. And yet he Is proclaimed a teacher of
Republicanism to Americans 1 Oh, shame, where
is thy blush 1
Can it be possible, thought we, that an American
citizen—aye, any man, who claims that proud, that
noble distinction, no matter what country gave
him birth—can listen for a moment to the crudities
of such mountebanks in Republicanism, ratherthan
heed the counsels of the Patriots and Sagos who
founded our government, and under the guidance
of whose teachings we have attained our present
elevated rank among the nations t»f the earth 1 —
Wo think not; and we feel assured, in the conserv
ative, truly liberty-loving South, if there are any
such, they are few indeed.
Penmanship. •
Those who desire to acquire the habit of writing
neatly, should endeavor to make the acquaintance
of Mr. Geunk as soon as he has taken rooms, who
was so successful while in this city last Spring.
He is again in the city with a view to giving lessons
and will announce his locality as early as possi
ble.
Mr. Stephens in Baltimore.
The Baltimore American of the 8d inst says;
“The Managers of the Maryland Institute paid a
handsome and well-deserved compliment to the
Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, in acknowledg
ment of their indebtedness to him for his very- able
and appropriate address on the occasion of the re
cent anniversary celebration of Washington’s Birth-
Lay. On Monday evening the Ist lust, he was the
principal guest at a handsome and very pleasant
entertainment, gotten up especially in compliment
to him, at which, besides the Managers, several of
our prominent citizens were present. It gives us
pleasure to say that we have received a revised re
port of Mr. Stephens’ excellent address, which wo
shall publish without delay.”
The same paper in publishing the Speech deliv
ered by Mr. Stephens, which we shall also prompt
ly lay before our readers, remarks:
“The address of Hon. A. 11. Stephens, of Georgia,
before the Maryland Institute, in commutation of
the birth-day of Washington, which appears in
this morning’s American dwells upon the same to
pics as those which were discussed in Mr. Ken
nedy’s address published yesterday. Such, how
ever, is the copiousnces of the general subject of
both and such the capabilities of the two gentlemen
to adorn whatever they touch upon, that the ad
dresses of the two furnish an excellent illustration
of variety in unity.
The late commemoration of Washington’s birth
day throughout the country- was more general and
more empbaitc than usual, because of certain events
and circumstances—which have caused the wisdom
of his advice to be made impressively felt, bis great
proph«tio forethought to be more fully disclosed,
and the inestimable worth of his services and his
example to be more fully appreciated than on or
dinary occasions. The relations which tins coun
try is to bear to other countries, and the dangers
that may arise from placing those relations upon a
false ground, are now matters pressed upon us for
consideration by appeals made to us to take part
in the affaire of Europe; and it becomes proper to
turn to the first principles of our oolitical being to
refresh our minds with the knowledge of what we
are as a people, what our origin was, what our
duties to ourselves and to mankind require at our
hands, and what objects lay before us for attain
ment in the natural aud orderly progression of our
growth.
For this end a reference to the principles of the
first Administration, as embodied by Washington
in the structure of our political fabric becomes in
stinctive ; and as those principles form the founda
tion, all other parts of the edifice, reared by suc
ceeding generations, must, if harmony and consis
tency and just proportions be observed, stand in
accordance and symmetry therewith. The tree
should grow accordingly to the nature of the germ;
—we eaunot cut it asunder to engraft a foreign
stock upon it. It is a tree of American planting .
and whatever elements gather around it in the pro
cess of its growth they must be assimilated with it
and be made to minister to its vigor, or they must
bejwit aside and rejected.
This adherence to the native qualities, principles
and elements of our origin and existence as a na
tion, is strongly enforced by Mr. Stephens, through
out whose address a tone of earnestness prevails
which shows that he is deeply impressed with hia
subject and its importance,'as, wo are sure, his
readers will be. To them we leave it—expressing
for them and for ourselves the acknowledgments
due to the orator for this worthy vindication of
sound and patriotic principles.
In the Louisiana Legislature on the 26tb ult., tke

Bott) Robbery in tmk Merchants 5 Bane.—About
1 o'clock this afternoon) as Master William 11.
Lowden. 18 years of age, Was in the Merchants’
Bank, 28 State street, and approaching the coun
ter for the purpose of depositing $1471 for Mesfts.
Lowden, Cushing & Co., of 69~ Kilby street, the
package of bills was suddenly snatched from his
hand bv a boy who had followed him in, and who
instantly on seizing the prize, rushed for the street.
Youug Lowden lost no time in giving him chase,
crying ‘Stop thief! stop thief!’ aud in descending
the steps ot the bui ding the robber slipped and fell,
by which the money was scattered over the side
walk. Ho was seized by Mr. David A Taintor,
and the money all gathered up and safely deposited.
Mr. Trinter then marched his prisoner to the City
Marshal’s office and safely deposited him. The
bold young robber gives his name as Francis
Wright; he is a smart looking, well-dressed youth,
16 years old, but refuses to give any further infor
mation concerning himself.— Boston Transcript.
The Bostonians have the reputation of being
“smart” to a degree which in some instances may
be denominated “ decidedly cool.”
Perpetual Motion at Last. —The Rochester
Democrat says that, after years of mathematical la
bor and mechanical results, Professor Willis, of that
city, lias completed and has now in constant oper
ation a self-winding clock, which determines the
seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and
years of time with unfailing accuracy, continuing
in constant motion, by itself, never requiring to be
wound up, never running down, but moving per
petually so long as its components exist. This is
about the ten thousandth time that perpetual mo
tion has been discovered, but some how or anoth
er the machines always run down.
Walking Likb a Fly Head-down wards .—A few
’ days since wo published an account of an experi
ment of walking on an inverted plane; performed
in New York by Professor McCormick. The fol
lowing from the Scientific American gives some
explanation of the manner in which this feat is ac
complished :
A Mr. McCormick has been rather astonishing
some of the New Yorkers, during the past week,
by walking on a polished marble slab, bead-down
wards, in one of our amphitheatres. It is soine
, what frightful to sec a fellow-mortal perched up in
mid-air, with his head to the ground—but a long
way above it —and his feet to the roof. It is the*
first feat of the kind ever performed, so far as we
are aware, and McCormick lias been dubbed with
the title of Professor, for his scientific perform
ance. . .
The feat is performed upon well-known princi
ples of science, by using air pumps, and working
t them step bv step, to extract all the air under ap
pendages on Ms foot, so that the outward pressure
on one foot will exceed his whole weight. If he is
150 lbs. weight, it requires 10 square inches of at
mospheric pressure to balance that, for the atmos
> pberic pressure is 15 lbs. on every square inch of
the earth’s surface, therefore 10 by 15—150 lbs. This
pressure must be on one foot, while the other is be
-1 f n g moved forward. The courage required to per
i form the feat is not small, and the labor is very se
j vere and tedious. It is needless to say, that although
the polished marble slab is the greatest wonder to
some, be could not perform the teat on rough, po
‘ rous boards.
i Constitutional Union Meeting in Bibb.— A largo
meeting of the Union party was held at Macon on
L the 2d inst. A. H. Chappell, J. W. Armstrong,
T- 11. Holt, and J. J. Gresham, Esqrs., were ap
- pointed delegates to the State Convention; and the

Resolved, That wo have an abiding confidence in

* Granada, Miss., March 4. —This morning the
* steamboat W. A. Violett, when about one mile
f from this place, struck a snag and sunk. She
had on board about 850 bales of cotton. The boat
■ and cargo will be a total loss. No lives were lost.
i Probable Arrest of Coleman.- — A tolegrapliic
, despatch was received in this city yesterday from
Brandon, Mississippi, stating the arrest of a man
1 at that place, which leads to the belief that Cole
-1 man, the supposed murderer of Nye in this city,
i has been detected; and the belief is further
. strengthened from the fact that the arrested man
. rode a horse corresponding with the description of
the one stolen from Mrs. Barnes.
; It will bo recollected that the last tidings Mr.
f Walker hud of Coleman, while in Ids pursuit, were
that he was inquiring his way to Brandon and
! Vicksburg. The horse lie rode was a fine blooded
animal, and lias doubtless borne him the entire
l flight.— Mobile Adc.
Erratum. —By accident of proof corrector, two
* linos wore transposed in our article in Saturday’s
1 paper aud made to read as follows:
L “Wo understood Mr. Yancey to say that although
> there were objections to the Georgia Platform, it
> contained good principles—good fighting defences
and bastions, on which the advanced positions
could rally and man the guns which had been
■ placed there by the Union Southern Rights party,
driven from their more party.”
r It should read, with the lines in their proper
place, as follows; “On which the Southern Rights
party driven from their more advanced position,
could rally, aud man the guns which had been
. placed there by the Union men.”

unavoidably occur.— Ala. Jour.

Good Ice Bridge In March. —-As one of the inci
dents of the season, worthy of notice, there was
excellent crossing on the ice, over the Connecticut,
at the foot of State street on Wednesday. Ilcavv
loads of sand, <fec. were drawn over during the
day, some of them weigliing two tons : the sand
was drawn for the city aud used in filling up Little

that there has been no such safe crossing on the ice
for the last nine years, so late in the season as the
8d of March. Last year the ice broke up and the
river was open for navigation on the 16th of Feb

IN SENATE.— March 5, 1852.
’The Chair laid before the Senate a sommttnica
tion from the Secretary of the Navy, transmitting,
in reply to a resolution of the Senate, copies of the
various contracts made for the construction of
dry docks, &c. Laid on the table.
On motion of Mr. Hunter, the Senate took up the
bill in addition to, and amendatory of, an act en
titled “An act to provide for the settlement of the
accounts of public officers and others, who may
have received moneys arising from military contri
butions or otherwise In Mexico,” approved March
Bd, 1849.
The bill extends the provisions of the act of’49
to the oases of officers who received money raised
and collected in California and New Mexico, for
contributions, penalties, or duties, from the com
mencement of the Mexican war to the day on wliich
the United States Collector of Customs entered up
on the discharge of hia duty. Nov. 12, 1>49. It
authorizes and requires such officers to account for,
settle and pay into the treasury any balance of
money shown to be in bis hands. It allows the
commanding officer who collected the duties in Cal
ifornia after the treaty with Mexico, the same com
pensation paid to the'Collector for same duties. It
allows $86,000 for the expenses of the provisional
government of California, and allows a credit of
$125,000 for advances made for the relief of the
destitute overland emigrants relieved bv the au
thorities of California.' It also gives to California,
out of tho fund thus collected in that country,
$850,000.
After explanation by Mr. Hunter, the bill was
ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
A committee of conference was appointed on tho
Bounty Land law.
The‘Senate adjourned till Monday next.
HOUSE.
Mr. Hammond, of Md., presented tho petition of
Jas. B. Kennedy, praying Congress to prohibit the
issuing and circulation of small notes in tho Dis
trict of Columbia and the territories; which was
referred to tho Committee on the District of Co
lumbia.
Mr. Houston, of Ala., Chairman of the Commit
tee of Wavs and Means, stated that one of the
branches of the public service was interrupted for
want of the action of the House, and moved that
the House resolve into a Committee on the State of
the Union.
Mr. Daniel, of N. C., after alluding to the man
ner in which the private busines s of the country
was neglected, moved that the House resolve itself
into Committee forthe purpose of taking up private
business under the rule.
• The Speaker decided that the special order of
the House, which was the consideration of the bill
granting lands to heads of families, took preced
ence of the rule devoting Friday to private busi
ness.
Mr. Daniel appealed against this decision, which
was supported by the House, which resolved itself
into a committee of the whole on the state of the
‘ Union, Mr. Jones, of Tenn., in the chair.
• Mr. Campbell, of resumed the floor, aud
■ continued his speech of yesterday; he thought
; there were other platforms beside that of slavery,
with refereq.ee to the Presidential election; alluded
1 to the commerce of the lakes aud rivers of tho
■ West, which he considered as unfairly dealt with;
■ and expressed himself in favor of granting the pub
■ lie lands for educational and internal improve
-1 ment.
> Mr. Chastaih, of Ga., followed, who said be would
• vote in favor of the proposition before the Com
mittee, and against granting lands to aid railroad
companies; defended the conduct of tho Union
5 party of Georgia, which, he said, hud been misro-
L sented and misunderstood, and explained its past
action*and present policy; bad gone before tho
’ country aud met with the approval of the demo
cratic party.
> Mr. Olds, of Ohio, deprecated tho disorganized
state of the Democratic party, wliich rendered it
impossible to obtain a vote of condemnation of any
1 act of a corrupt government, and enables it to run
1 riot iu the disposal of the public funds ; and ex
-3 pressed his determination to support any Demo
-1 cratic candidate for the presidency who might be
5 nominated by the Baltimore Convention. In tho
’ course of his remarks, he charged Mr. Corwin with
receiving besides his pay, as a Senator from Ohio,
$79,000 from a claim-agent, to induce' him to take
3 money out of the public treasury, which called up
3 Mr. Campbell, of (Ohio, in his defence, who declared
J that Mr. Corwin would challenge an investigation
t of his conduct. Mr. Olds concluded by advocating
• the provisions of the Bill, and was in favor of grant
ing the public lands to the soldiers who had fought
3 the battles of the country, and to the working man,
i who would gather around him the endearments of
i of home, and feel in any future war that he bad an
- interest and a homestead to defend.
, After Mr. Olds had concluded, Mr. Brown, of
r Mississidpi, moved the amendment of wliich he
i gave notice on a former day, which was read. As
s ter which a motion was carried that the committee
rise.
The House baring resumed, a motion was made
j and subsequently withdrawn that it adjourn over
I till Monday, and’at a quarter past throe o’clock the
1 House adjourned till to-morrow,
3 "Washington, March 6.
The Senate was not in session to day.
In tho House several private bills from the So
-5 nato were acted on.
• The bill from the Senate, giving the Raleigh and
Gaston Railroad Company a credit of four years on
j the railroad iron now being imparted by said com
t pany, &«., was after discussion, read a third time ;
, and pending the question on its passage.
( On motion by Mr. Houston, the House resolved
1 itself into Committee of the Whole on the state of
the Union on the special order—the Homestead
’ bill.
Mr, Davis, of Mass., who was entitled to the
r floor, occupied it for an hour in examining into the
i alleged inconsistencies of his colleague, [Mr. Ran
, toul.] After he had concluded,
i Mr. Fitch obtained the floor, but yielded it to a
motion to adionru ; which, at the hour of four o’-
i cloyk, prevailed.
Cravats.—Professor Hamilton’s remarks at the
Buffalo Medical College on asphyxia, and particu
, larly that form caused by wearing tight cravats,
may be of interest to the general reader.
| Cravats were first worn by the Croats in the Six
. teenth Century as a part of their military dress.
' Public Speakers, Members of Congress, and
, Clergymen liave literally hung themselves by wear
[ ing cravats and stocks, high and tight, there
■ by impeding the return ofblood from the head ;
this can be explained on Physiological principles:
the Brain in speaking, is excited to increased ac
tion, a larger quantity ofblood is sent to the sub
stance, and unless it can find a ready return, pro
i duces congestion and appoplexy.
> Students are not altogether free from the effects
■ of this litigation of the neck. It is surprising how
little presuro is necessary to prevent the ready flow
• of blood from the head ; those who bend their
heads forward as iu writing or studying, are apt to
fool a dizziness and heaviness in the Lead, wliich
loosening their cravats or collars altogether re
lieves, aud the mind returns to its original clear
ness. In clergymen who arc particularly prone to
bundle their necks with large cravats, bronchitis is
induced and the vocal chords becomes relaxed at
the consequence. Men who speak temporaneous
ly can speak longer and with greater ease than
those who read, as their voice is not confined as
much to one key and can be modulated with great
er freedom. —Albany Register.
