The Senatorial Election.
As our correspondent failed to report the dis
cussion in the Senate on the Resolution proposing
to elect a United States Senator, we copy from
the Savannah Republican the following sketch of
that discussion, which we lay before our readers,
os a part of the history of the times. When the
question was before the Senate, some weeks since,
we took occasion to express our views of the action
of that body ; an opinion which we not only have,
in no wise changed, but reiterate now. We also
took occasion to express our •pinion of the live
Democratic Senators who acted with the majority,
(voted against the resolution,) on that occasion.—
liow well and fully that has been verified, the
reader must judge:
Milledgeville, Jan. 12, 1854. )
Three o’clock, P. M.
The Senate convoned this evening, and after
spending considerable time in reading Bills the
second time, Mr. Smith, of Coweta, again attempt
ed to spring the Senatorial election question by
moving to take up the resolution which ho had of
fered on that subject upon a former occasion, (Dec.
16, 1553,i and waich was superceded by a motion
of Mr. Miller to proceed to toe regular order of
the day. This motion of course, produced great
excitement, especially among the several
of whom displayed, by their active manoeuviings,
great skill in political tactics. Among the most
conspicuous and successful tacticians, was Dr.
Guyton, the Senator from Laurens. Ho is, how
ever, excusable, if such conduct deserves the
palliation of an excuse, tor the county he renre
seuts has taught him too many lessons in Wnig
gery and conservatism, for him to be recreant to
duty when the welfare of the Stato is at stake.
Mr. Anderson, from Chatham, hoped that the
motion to take up the resolution of the Senator
from Coweta would be withdrawn. Ho had some
doubts as to whether the motion was in order, and
seeing the seats of several members ounty, he
hopea that the motion would not be forceu upon
the Senate just at this time.
Mr. Duunagau, of Ha ll , also hoped the motion
would bewitndrawu. It had been offered on a
former occasion, aud be did not see the necessity
of troubling the Senate with it again. He again
hoped and asked the Senator to withdraw his mo
t>on.
Mr. Audeison ilsing again with much feeling
and eloquence, further said : Mr. President, lam
opposed to such a course, but where I know a
majority ot the Senate are opposed to a measure,
and the minority endeavor to force it in opposition
to their wishes, I will unite with any body of men
in leaving the Senate, to defeat it.
Mr. McGehee, of Houston, said, well you may
leave if you wish, we will beat you any how.
Mr. Miller moved that the Senate adjourn till
o’clock, to-moirow morning. The ayes and noes
being sounded, the President considered that it
was decided in the negative. Mr. Miller called
for the yeas and nays ; and they were, yeas 43,
nays 42, but the Secretary through mistake, hav
ing announced the vote yeas 43, nays 41, the Pre
sident supposed, that he was not entitled to his
vote, as it would not, according to the announce
ment from the desk, make a tie. Mr. Duunagau,
however, perceiving that the chair, by his vote,
might make a tie, rose and requested that the
privilege be extended to him. The President
refused to accept the privilege, under the suppo
sition that the vote as announced to him from the
desk was correct. I am informed, but for this
mistake, he would have cast his vote, and made
the tie. Y> hat would have been the consequence,
1 am not able to predict, but am of opinion that if
the same motion could not have prevailed, nor
any other to stave off action upon the motion of
the Senator from Coweta, there would have been
a simultaneous rush by one half of the members
for the door.
Thus have the “unterrified” been agaiu fuilediu
their attempts to force a Senatorial election in op
position to the open and repeatedly declared wish
of the Senate.
How often this game is to be repeated, I cannot
say, but I would not be surprised to see the same
thing done over again to morrow morning. If so
such conduct would better comport with the irivo’-
lity of school-boys, than the dignity o: Senators.
And if they succeed in getting the resolution be
fore the Senate, Mr. Anderson has clearly inti
mated what will be the result. The fact is, the
Kle of Georgia cannot be represented in the
ed States senate, and they will not be by
Howell Cobb: so Charley and Howell, “you can’t
come in, and there’s no use in knocking at the
door.”
Mu leixJeville, Jan. loth, 1854.
The Senate had no sooner finished the reading
of the journals of yesterday and convening this
morning, than the excitement about the Senatorial
election was again renewed by an announce
ment from the cnair that the first besinsss before
the Senate was the unfinished business of the pre
vious adjournment, which was the motion to take
up the resolution to bring on the Senatorial elec
tion.
Mr. Bailey rose in opposition to the motion pro
testing that he was a democrat -one of the 18,000
Union Democrats—and that he was for harmoniz
ing the great democratic party. But when an
ofioit is made to elect one, who is not the
choice of the people, and whose election will tend
to distract the democratic party, he woo'd oppose
it.
Mr. Pope considered that the question before
the Senate was one that had been before it again
and again ; and theac» : on upon it heretofore iiss
been to show that there was not a disposition to
go into the election. Why, then, would gentle
men persist in urging the question ? What rea
son has been given for bringing on the elcct'on ?
When does the Senator to be elected take his
seat ? The 4th of March, 1855. That is the short
session of Congress ; and there w ill be very little
or no business to transact. There is no call for
the election. Then why consume further time in
endeavoring to bring it on ? The people are al
ready clamorous for an adjournment of the Legis
lature, and it would be better to occupy ourselves,
with those measures which are desired by them,
and which will be for the welfare, peace and har
mony of the State.
Mr. Echols was not distinctly heard, but was
understood to say that the most prudent course in
his opinion, is to direct the officers to cair.v the re
solution to postpone the election, to the other
House, and see whether they would concur with
us in this end of the Chamber in postponing the
election. There were two resolutions in this House
one to brim; on the election, the other to put it
oil ; and no cor'd not see the necessity of
such a course as that which Senators proposed
to pursue, without the concurrence of the
House.
Mr. Anderson moved to lay the resolution on
the table.
Dr. Singleton said before that motion is made,
he wished to say a word. lie wanted to go home;
the people wanted the Legislature to adjourn, and
he was opposed to the introduction of such mat
ter, as would serve for no other purpose than to
consume time. We aro the representatives of a
jiarty which, according to the prediction of the
Senator from Muscogee, a month or two ago, would
not live 43 hours. But little and small as we are,
we will not be dragged into a measure for which
there is no necessity, and which the people do not
desire. They want nobody elected I want no
body elected, and I intend to vote for imbodv.—
Let the voice of the people be heard. There is "ho
repeated, no necessity for this election, and rather
than go into it, he would have no Senator at kll
Mr. McGehee said, the Senators from Hall and
Lumpkin were not following their loader. Who
laid the precedent of electing Senators in advance
of the time of taking their scats ? The other side
of the house. They are willing to elect in advance
when they have the power. If there is any time
when the previous question is in order, it is now.
We are here consuming time, and let us now take
a vote on the main question, and settle the matter
at ouce. He was not so tenacious of a nomination
as to insist upon the question for that reason. But
great questions may arise somewhere in Europe
before another Legislature, that might render it
necessary for us to have a Senator in Congress.
He, therefore, moved the previous question,
Mr. Miller hoped that the motion would he with
drawn. He asked it for the purpose of replying to
attacks which had been made upon his side"of the
House. Whou imputations are made, ho considered
that an opportunity should be given for answering
them. He, besides, objected that the motion for
the previous question was not in order.
The Chair decided that the qestion to lie on the
table wsb not in order, a proposition having been
made to take up the resolution.
Mr. Andoison insisted that there was but one
original question before the Senate (the motion to
take up the resolution) aud that his motion to lay :
that on tho table was in order. _ '
Mr. Miller said tho Chair had not decided tho <
question which he raised. The question before the <
Senate is not the motion to agree to the resolution,
but the motion to take it up.
Mr. McGehee insisted upon keeping his motion
before the Senate.
Mr. Ridley asked if he understood the chair to
decide the motion of the Senator from Chatham
out of order? If so, he would appeal from tho
decision.
Mr. Hull said : supnose tho motion of the Sena
tor from Chatham had been reduced to writing ; it
would not, in that case, be questioned, he imagin
ed, whether it was in order. Well, it is just as
much in order as if it had been reduced to writing
in tho House of Representatives in Congress, all
motions are subject to the motion to lay on the
table. Aud if the motion to lay upon the table bo
reduced to writing, it is just as much aud substan
tial a motion as any other.
Mr. Echols said, the previous question was called
for; and what is tho previous question? D *1 V>
take up the resolution ot tho Senator front L hat
ham? No, it is to take up tho resolution of the
Senator from Coweta.
Mr. Cone thought there was no difficulty at all.
The proposition is to proceed with the unfinished
business, and the unfinished businosa is to take up
the resolution of tho Senator from Coweta. Ho
thought the motion of the Senator from Houston
for the previous question, was the only legitimate
question before tho Senate.
The chair said he was not vindictive m his opin
ion, and that the question before the Senate is to
take up the resolution of tfio Bonator from Coweta.
Mr. Ridley said the Senator from Coweta had
moved to lay that motion on tho table.
The chair asked, can he do that ? And decided
that ho could not,
Mr. Ridley appealed from his decision, and Mr.
Dunegan rose and occuniod tho floor for some min
utes. Dut was not hearu.
Mr. Cono said, in the journals of Congress you
would find that such questions wore the every-day
business, aud according to the decision ol a distin
guished gentleman over tho way, the cr'l for the
previous question was in order.
Mr. Clark said tho question is to take upareso
lution ; aud that resolution is notthe motion of the
Senator from Chatham, but it is to take up the res
olution to go into an election; consequently there
are two motions before the Somite, tho one to take
up the resolution, the other the motion of the Sen
ator from Chatham, to lav that motion on the table.
Is tho motion to lay on tne table in order ? If the
chair is right, it is not; but if it is, the chair has
decided out of order. But the rules govern. And
which has tho preference, tho previous question , or
a motion to lav upon the tablo? That matter was
decided on a former occasion ; and if tho previous
auesticn cuts off all debate, of oourse, it is in order.
A t is plain theu that tho decision ol tlio chair is
correct.
Mr. Milier said that ho cared very little about
this question of order, and moved that the Senate
adjourn to 3 o’clock this evening.
Mr. Cone called for tho yeas and nays, which
woreveas4l, nays 45. Mr. Bailey in voting lor
1 the adjournment, said that he did it with the hopo
of effecting a compromise.
The chair asked the indu'gcnco of the Senate
’ for a few moments. It had been his duty to pre
side over the Senate, and to administer purliamen
* larylaw. Ho had lived long enough to know, that,
' “To err is human.” The question was a plain ono,
> and not to be decided by parliamentary customs,
l but by the rules of the Senate. The first question
5 is to take up the resolution, and tho object of the
i Senator from Chatham will bo accomplished if the
Senate refuse to take up. llonee it is the opinion
i of the chair that the motion is a perversion of tho
i lales of the Senate. “Shall the decision of the
1 chair now stand ? ”
i Mr. Cone had intended to request tho Senator
- from Chatham to withdraw b's motion, and take a
vote upon the direct question.
r Mr. Ridley had not intended to create any hard
i feelings ; all ho wished wrsto determine a parlia
i men*ary quest’on and to disabuse the mind of the
, Chair.
i Mr. Anderson had never in his life, intended to
i injure the feelings of any one, but feailng that his
present course might be construed into an effort to
t do so, he withdrew his motion.
The balance of the morning was consumed in a
s continuation of the debate, which has been attended
> with great excitement from the beginning till now.
1 Tho Senate is at this time iu session, and tho same
l question is before them. The Whigs and some
, three or four Democrats have withdrawn, leaving
- tbeunteirified “alone in their glory.” There is
- not a quorum now in the Senate chamber, and
i consequently no business can be transacted. Find
- iug that a minority of the Senate (though now in a
, temporal/ majority in consequence of the absence
! of Senators) where disposed to force them into au
' olect'on, our friends witndrew in a body.

Miljedgevieie, Jan. 13, 1854. i
' Afternoon, j
. In my communication of this morning I attcuipt
t ed to give you an outline of the exciting debate on
[ the Senatorial question, but was compelled to stop
. in the midst of it or miss the mailing of my letter,
f If you deem it worth the attention of your readers
! you may publish the br'aneo of it, which 1 send
; you below:
It is proper to remark, however, for a correct
i understanding, that, from the time the vote was
■ taken on Mr. McGchee’s call for the precious ques
i tier, , there was so much excitement, irregularity
aud disorder in the debate that it was utterly im
possible for me to report it correctly.
Mr. Anderson having withdrawal his motion,
Mr. Miller asked the Senator fiom Houston now to
withdraw his motion. Mr. McGehee did not agree
. toil, and the vote of tho Seuate was taken upon
his call for the previous question, and was, yeas
- 42, nays 45; so tne caH for the previous question
! was not seconded.
) The Chair then said the question before the Scn
• ate is the motion to take up tho resolution.
Mr. Miller said he saw no use inputting that
i question. lie arose to make a few remarks, in
which he proposed to be very brief. lie wished to
notice the remarks of the Senator from Houston,
who had charged th's side of the house with im
. proper motives. At no time have we insisted on
I an election during tho nnexpired term of any
[ Senator, except at an impending Prcsidentio'
election. We first elected Mr. Dawson peuding
, Gcu. Taylor’s cloction, and then Mr. Toombs
. pending tho election of Gen. Pierce. There is no
new administration now to come in before tho
meeting of the next General Assembly, and conse
quently there is not the samo reason forgoing into
an election now that there was then. Besides
there is no probability of an extra session of Con
gress. The gentlemen on the other side of tho
House should not complain so bitter at our follow
ing tho example which they have sot. In 1845
the Democrats were in tho majoiity in the Senate,
but the Whigs were in tho majority on joint ballot.
He read from the Journals of the Senato for 1845,
and showed by tho record that tho Democrats had
repeatedly refused to go into tlio election on tho
same ground that his friends refuse to do so now.
with the single exception that the principal ground
upon which they sought to stave off tho election
was porsonal opposition to tho then incumbent,
Mr. Berrien. Among other things no read a set
of resolutions offered by our present presiding
officer, Mr. Stell, which contrast very strangely
with tho actions of himself and the party which
ho now represents.
Mr. McGehee asked Mr. Miller how he voted on
those resolutions?
Mr. Miller replied that he voted against them,
and that lie did it from good motives, having full
confidence in the rectitude of his course.” But
whatever might have been his course, that could
bo no excuse for the conduct of some of his Demo
cratic friends. Why did the Hon. President in
the chair, and the Hon. Senator from Bulloch,
vote for those resolutions?
Mr. Miller concluded by saying, that wo have
the same reason now as then, and if the Senators
were right then, they must be wrong now.
We omit the remainder of the debate for want of
room. Messrs. Stephens, Mosely, Dunnagar, Me-
Geho, Mooree, Dabnoy and others took part in it.
On motion to take up tho resolution of the Senator
from Coweta, the vote was yeas 41—nays 43. Mr.
Ridley here moved an adjournment—yeas 43-
nays 44. Mr. Stephens then moved to lav the res-
tho table—yeas 44—nays 44. The chair
voting in the negative, tlio motion was lost.
Mr. Hull moved to make the resolution beforo
tho Senate the special order of the day for Friday
next, and promised that if the motion was sustain
ed he would for one abide the decision of tho
Senate, and would not stampede, as he would have
to do it the question was forced upon him now
without giving absent members an opportunity of
voting upon it. J
Mr. Cochrane objected.
Mr. Henderson said that ho was about to make
the very motion which Mr. Hull had made, and he
hoped that the Senate would sustain it. He was
in favor of going into the election, though he
could not vote for the nominee of the party.
After further debate, Mr. Hull moved an adjourn
ment, yeas 44, nays 41. Tho vote of the chair in
the negative again defeated the motion. Mr. Me-
Gehee proposed to remain in the Senate chamber
au night, wherewpon the W’higs and throe or four
w thont a « S withdrew in a b°dy, leaving tho Senate
w itnout a quorum.

At the appointed time they again returned to go
through the seme statuary performances, which
they had pract'eed before. Every effort was made
to procure a quorum. The officers were dispatched
m end about the House, through the a'slesf lobby
and every wlioro el,so to count the Senators whom
they mightfind, and even the President gratuit
ously volunteered hie services to assist tnem in
counting noses. Ho threatened to have the names
of all such plaeod on the journals, that the country
might see who were recreant to duty.
To assist in this patriotic work, and perhaps to
relievo the Chair from such arduous duty, Echols
ottered a resolution to instruct the Door-keopcr,
Messenger, &c., to go out, three east, three west,
throe north, and throe south, to Bourch and inquire
if they could get any tidings of the absent members
and it they found them, politely to request them to
come In. 1
Iho search having beon completed, the reports
delivered, and the Senate being still without a
quotum, Mr. Clarke moved to adjourn to half-past
nine o clock to-morrow morning.' Which motion
wr s withdrawn, but afterwards renewed and car
ried.

“ lbus far our fortunes keep an onward course.”
Before leaving his seat the lion. President, an
nounced that there would be a meeting of the
Democratic party to-night in the Senate Chamber,
and said that all who had any intention to act with
the Demoeratic pai iy, in tho future were cordially
invited to attend.
Wo understand that tho meeting was woll at
tended, and that a set of resolutions wore adopt
ed, which were prepared by a committee, among
whom woro Mr. Moon of Jackson and Mr. Ander
son of your city, who h.ave heretofore generally
voted with the whig*. The general dm, of the
resolutions, wrs, I understand, to harmonizo the
democratic party, which is hoped to be accomplish
ed by allowing tho members to vote for any Dem
ocrat they please, and to bring on the election next
Tuesday.
Among others, Messrs. Charlton and Ward of
your place, are spoken of, and the election of either
of these gentlemen would, perhaps, give as great
satisfaction as the election of any othor man in
Cfoergia. John P. King, Haralson and others
have been named, but it is uncertain who will be
tho successful man.
Saturday' Mousing.
On ro assembling this molding the Senatorial
question, aitor the introduction ot a number of now
bills, was again brought up. Tho Democratic meet -
ing last nighthas had itselfect. Mr. Cochran offer
ed a substitute for tho resolution of the Senator
from Cowota, which provides that the Senate and
House shall convene in tho Representative Hall on
Tuesday next for the purpose of electing a U. S.
Senator, and in case ©fa failure *0 elect on that
day, then at any time after the adoption of the res
olution. The substitute was adopted, and then
agreed to by a vote of yeas 47—nays 44.
Ole Hull’s Concert
As our roadors are already aware a Concert wil
bo given tb ! s evening at tho Masonic Hall, by this
greatest living master of the Violin. To attempt
any praise of him, would indeed bo superfluous,
yet we cannot forego tho pleasure of transfeiing to
ou r columns tho following impressions of a musi
cal critic, of bis performances. It appeared ori
ginally in the Boston Post and is as just, ns it is
chasic and beautifully expressed :
“All organizations susceptible to tones, and not
preoccupied by some c: itica! theory, are wonder
fully magnetised by it. it cannot be resisted
ovon by IhObO who are most disposed to analyze
their mental pleasures. John S. Dwight, editor of
the Boston Musical Journal, thus records his first
impressions of Ole Bull, in a lotter to me, dated
1841: ‘I heard Ole Bull, twice last winter. Ex
cepting only a symphony of Beethoven, or a mass
. by Mozart, nothing has ever filled me with such
deep solemn joy. 1 have spoken to you wirrnly
1 of Yieux Temps, and he is stiß very beautiful in
my memory. But Ole Bull is certainly tlio most
original, the most never-failing and commanding,
, He does inspire as the other cannot. The most
glorious sensation 1 ever had was to sit in one of
t nis audiences, and feel that all were elevated to
’ the same piten witli myself, but that the spirit in
| every breast had risen to this same level. My
1 impulse was to speak to any one and every one, an
to an intimate friend. The most indifferent per
‘ son was a living soul to me, the most remote
seemed a friend. In that element I did not fear
or despise. A’l were accessible; nay more—ail
‘ were worth reaching. This, certainly, wfs the
; highest testimony to his great art and his great
, soul.”
Some atribule this effect, in a great measure, to
j the difficulties he overcome*, difficulties which no
L other master of the violin has ever conquered, it
, is true, that the wonders of mochauiacl skili,
’ wrought by bis powerful and practiced hand, do
indeed take captive tho astonished ear; but his
sway over an audience is mainly to be attributed
t o the pathetic, impassioned expression of his play
ing. What cun oe more exquisitely beautiful,
more full of tender pathos, than those low, deeo
■ tones in the last movement of the Mother’s Prayer. ’
i The same w.iter continues:
> “ But struggles and disappointments, though
. tlioy have fer a while drawn this tuneful soul from
the mission for which God designed him, have
deepened the well-springs of music within him,
fttul if he lives some years, the fountain will rise
higher than it has ever risen, and his setting sun
will east sti" more beautifo' rninbows on its grace
ful spray.
In his concerts this autumn lie is accompanied
by Strakosch, the celebrated pianist, distinguished
lor neatness and delicacy of execution, graceful ness
of ornament, and well articulated tones, and bv
the little Adelina Patti, a remarkable child wit.i
wonderful facility of voice, piquant and attractive
as a young gipsey. It is surprising how such a
child can perform so well toe difficult cavatinas
sung bv Jennv L ; nd and Madame Bishop. But
after all, simple melodies are more congruous with
our ideas of childhood; and though the audience
clan and encore tho accomplishment of mechanical
difficulties, they scorn to tool more real pleasure to
hear her warble such airs as
“Come on the heart ,: ke infant innocence."
The Theatre.
Mm and Mas. Crisp liavo spread nightly, since
their arrival before the lovers of tho legitimate
drama, a bill of fare that could not fail to captivate
the most fastidious. They have spared no effort
to render their entertainments instructive and
fascinating—and have held tho “ mirror up to na
ture,” with all the power andetf et that accom
plished acting could lend. To-night they present
a most attractive entertainment, and deserve, as wc
hope they will receive, a full house.
The Circus.
Ilo! fortheCircus—“come along my little ones,’
and all those who would enjoy a good laugh, at the
sports and sharp cuts of tho ring, and give the
Circus a call. Rokiwson is on hand with a strong
force, and promises an entertainment worthy of
himself, and the renown of his Company.
Capt. Pendleton of the Ship Lucy Thompson,
reports that at tho time of transferring the passen
gers saved from the San Francisco, by the Barque
Kilby, from that vessel to his, there was a very
heavy sea running from southeast, and it was with
great difficulty they were got on board his ship.—
He says also that the scene cannot be described;
a heavy sea i tinning and the vessel surging, wo
men and children were hoisted on board by a ropo
fastened under their arms, and they, weak Horn
privation and exposure, were dashed violently
against the vessel’s aide. Fortunately none wore
seriously injured.
Ikon Manufacture of the World.—ln 1850
there were 459 iron furnaces in Great Britain. Ac
cording to tables published by tho London Morn
ing Chronicle, the following figures represent the
iron product of tho world :
Tons. Tons.
United Kingdoms 2,880,000 Sweden. 188 500
U nited States.... 400,000 Pi ussia.... 11 2*000
France 348,000 ‘ L_
Russia 189,000 Total 3,723,300
Austria 160,800
In 1850, while Great Britain produced 2,880,000
tons, and imported 28,000 tons, her total export
of I roii and Hard ware amounted to 809,100 tons.
She, tnorefore, had left for home markets over
1,500,000 tons. In 1796, tho quantity of British
Iron made was 125,000 tons. The quantity of
foreign iron retained for homo consumption was
45,600 tons. The total exports of Iron and Hard
ware amounted to 408 tons. The total homo con
sumption to 170,100 tons.
.During the ten months ending Nov. sth, 1858
Great Britain exported :
Iron and Steel wrought and unwrought £9,231,000
Hardware and Cutlery 2,290,000
Machinery and Mill works 1,574,000
T0ta1.... £18,795,000
Os the countries which received the largest por
tions of this enormous mass of exports, the United
States took not only by far the largest quantity of
iron and steel, wrought and unwronght, but also
the largest quantity of pig iron—the quantity ex
ported in 1850 being 57,100 tons. Next to the
United States stands Holland, 13,000; France 11 -
710 ; Prussia, 10,950 ; Canada, 10,890 ; Denmark,
7,570; Italy, 7,400; and the Hansoatic towns,
7,370 tons. Russia takes only 812, and Turkey 930
tons of pig iron. Os bar, bolt, and rod iron, tho

IN SENATE. j
The Sotiato met this morning at half past nine ;
o’clock. j
Dr. Singleton’s bill to incorporate the Dahlonega ,
Railroad Company was read, and together with a ■
bill to amend and extend tho charter of tho Thom- ;
astonand Upson Railroad Company, referred to a
Seloot Committee.
Mr. Miller, of Kiohmond, ottered a Resolution to
recommend to tho President of tho United States
tho appointment of Leonidas Mclntosh, a son of
the late Lieut. Col. Mclntosh, of Georgia, to some
place in one of the newßegiments proposed to be
formed, which was adopted.
Mr. Dunwody, offered a Resolution to recom
mend for a similar place, Mr. James D. Mclntosh,
which was adopted.
Gen. Knight, of Lowndos, ottered a Resolution
to authorize tho Surveyor General, to send in such
survoys of tho Okefenoko Swamp as are to be
found in liis oliice.
The bill of Gon. Morris, of Franklin, to make
Millodgeville the pormaueut soat of Government
of this Stato, provided one or more brick Hotels
be built there, was referred to the Spocial Com
mittee on the subject of removal.
A message was recoived from tho House, an
nouncing that the House was ready to receive the
Senate and proeood to the election of a United
States Senator.
house.
Efforts were made this morning to reconsider
the bill rejected yestorday, to appropriate $20,000
to the Georgia Military Institute, but they failed —
a’so to reconsider the bill of Mr. Walton, of Rich
mond, to make Betting on an Election a disquali
eation lor a voter, and to after the oath of voters
so as to include Betting. The motion was not
adopted.
A bill passed tho House to lot the State Printing
out to the lowest bidder. Ai.er which, the Senate
having entered the House, the General Assembly
in joint convention proceeded to be'lot for a
United States Senator. See balloting below.]
AVer the second ballot, Mr. Pope, of Wilkes,
reso and said that there was a gentleman voted
for, who he did not consider eligible to a seat
in the United States Senate, he referred to
the lion. John E. Ward, a Representative from
Chatham County, and Speaker of the House, and
he would road from the 11th section of tho Ist ar
tielo of the Constitution of Georgia, to show that
ho wus right.
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, raised tho question
of order.
Mr. Walker, of Richmond, said that this was a
matter between members of the General Assembly
and their own consciences, and ho hoped the
Senator from Wilkes would drop the matter.
So it was dropped, but tho silent effect of Mr.
Pope’s remarks, was to prevent members from
voting for Mr. Ward, who otherw'so would have
done so.
it is impossible to say what will be the final
result of tho Senatorial contest, as at present every
thing looks foggy in tho extreme, one thing you
may rely on, neither Messrs. McDonald or Cobb
will bo elected to tho Senate. Georgia.
Milledgevilue, Jan. IS, 1854.
.N SENATE.
The Senate convened this morning at half-prst
9 o’clock.
The bid to pardon James L. D. Register, of
Troup county, was read a second time and ordered
to be made tho spocial order for Saturday.
The same course was adopted towards the bill to
pardon George N. Wray, of Houston county,
under sentence of death for the crime of murder,
and it was also made the special order for Satur
day, and 150 copies of the evidence ordered to be
printed for the use of the Senate.
Mr. Moseley, of Spalding, ottered a resolution,
that the Governor bo authorised to have a state
ment of tho indebtedness and present condition
of the Western aud Atlantic Railroad, printed
in such a form as to exhibit it at one view—which
was adopted.
A message w-a.s then received from tho House,
announcing the readiness of that body to receive
tho Senate, and proceed to ballot for a United
States Senator.
Dr. Ridley, of Troup, remarked, that the Gene
ral Assembly bad been in session nearly throe
months, and had made but little progress intrans
acting the pubfio buainess ; and ho hoped, that if
the General Assemby did not succeed tc-day in
making an election, they would consume no more
time in the effort. A,.or which the Senate repair
ed to the House of Representatives, and the eighth
balloting commenced. I have given here the
wholo number of bn'lotings, so that the matter
may bo seen in a full and connected view.

After tho tenth balloting, Mr. Green, of Bibb,
rose and nominated “Walter T. Colquitt, tho Colo
nel of tho Coffin Regiment,” which was received
with a titter of laughter a'l over the House.
Afcer the 12th balloting had been announced,
Mr. Green, (Democrat) of Pike, moved that the
General Assembly take a recess until Monday at
10 o’clock, aud that tho Senate repair to its Cham
ber.
Dr. Ridley moved that tho Senate repair to its
Chamber, which created somo discussion.
Dr. Singleton moved that tho Senatorial election
be postponed till the next session of tho Legislr ■
turo, which was idled out of order. Ho then
amended his motion to postpone the election till
the Ist of March.
A gooff dea' of confusion ensued. The Presi
dent looked obfuscated. Tho democracy were
afraid to try another ballot.
Mr. Green insisted upon bis motion, and the
yeas and nnys were called, and it was carried; so
the Senate repaired to its Chamber.
8 o’clock, i*. M.
Tho Senate this auornoon had under discussion
the Bill to charter the Bruuchville and Savannah
Rail Road Company.
Mr. Miller, of Richmond, ottered an additional
section, providing that the privileges granted shall
not take effect until the South Carolina Legislature
shall repeal the privileges granted to Jones <fc
Kennedy, of collecting toll at the bridge at Au
gusta.
Mr. Audorson said, that he believed tho Legis
lature of South Carolina had acted unjustly in
giving Jones & Kennedy the privilege alluded, but
he did not think it right that a measure of this kind
should bo killed on that account.
Mr. Miller replied, stating in his usual able man
nor, the gross injustice of South Carolina, and the
duty of the Stato of Georgia protecting her own
citizens by demanding tho repeal of those grants.
The discussion was further participated in by
Messrs. Moore, and Stephens, aud Hull, for the
amendment, and Mr. Jones, Mr. Dunnagan, Mr.
Pope, of Wilks, and Mr. McGehee, against it.—
Tho amendment was lost, yeas, 27 ; nays, 42; and
tho Bill was passed by a largo majority, and the
Senate adjournod.
In tho House, nothing was done but the reading
of Bills a second timo.
It is supposed that the movemont this morning,
postponing tlio election of U. S. Senator till Mon
day next, was done for the purpose of communi
cating with G.v. McDonald, as .to whether he
shoi Id not withdraw his name, as it seemed he
could not bo elected, aud it was only serving to
distract the party. lam still of the opinion that
ho cannot bo Senator, and doubt wliother, under
tho circumstances, any one cun bo.
It shows very plainly, that tho dominant party in
tho Legislature have no principles in common,
which can be represented by a member ot their
party. They arc composed of such inconsistent
and contradictory elements, that one man cannot
represent. I propose that they take a man from
each wing of the party and pass a resolution that
the two are one, and let them both go on to tho
Senate.

Disasters on the Lakfs during tue past yeah.
—The Buffalo Express occupies:wo columns with
a l ; 3t of the disasasters on tho lakes during the
past year, made up by Mr. Rounds, agent for the
North Western Insurance Company. During the
year there have been two hundred pnd six.y-six
disasters, of these n ineteen occurred in April,
thirty in May, seventeen in June eleven in July,
twenty-eight in August, thirty in September, thir
ty-nine in October, eighty in November, pnd twelve
in December. Six steamers, two propellers and
thirty sail vessels have gone eut of existence en
tiroly.
■ Tho number of accidents exceeds thoso of last
year by 27,while the loss of property is less by
$118,586. The great decrease in loss of life and
property by collision and explosion shews a very
gratifying result of the first year’s operations of
the new law, relatiug to vessels propelled by steam
—and the improved system of lights. With but
one exception—that of the Ocean Wave on lake
Ontario—no lives have been lost on any of the reg
ular passage steamers by any accident whatever.
The loss by collision in 1552 was $261,950 —-and
loss of life 296, while that of 1853—is of life 81 and
of property by collision only $55,828.

Captain Robert Cricghton, of the Throe Bells, is
a genuine Scotchman. IPs age is 32. lie was born
at Port Glasgow, about 20 miles from the city. He
has a wi*e and one child in Scotland. He has been
seventeen years engaged upon tho sea, and eleven
years commander of various ships. Most of his
voyages have been in the East India trade. He
has never been wrecked, although he has been in
storms not a few. The loss of the sails of the
Three Rolls, on the fatal night of the San Francis
co’s wreck, is the worst mishap he has ever met
with.
Captain Creighton was hailed by the San Fran
cisco with tho following question:—“Will you
charter your ship ? We are loaded with men, wo
men, and children. Name your price.” Ilis reply
was with tho true Scotch accent. What does the
man mean? It'snot money that lam after —Jam
stopping for humanity's sake." On the third day,
in reply to another question ho again responded,
,l luill stand by you if I sink."
As has already been statod measures are being
taken to present a National testimonial to this
whole soulod seamen, who, in reply to the cordial
greeting of those who are showering upon him
tho numerous marks of their consideration, re
sponds with quiet composure :—“ What have 1 done
but my simple duty ? ”
A correspondent of tho Now York Journal of
Commerce also suggests “ tl at as a suitable testi
monial, Capt. Creighton be presented with a ship,
(an American ship)—ajpresent worthy so worthy a
sailor. New ships can be bought, and such would
be an appropriate present from New Yorkers, and
show to the world that they are not insensible to
true valor and disinterested philanthrophy when it
has been so prominent as in this instance.— Ch.
Courier.
Steam Carriages.—The use of steam in place of
horses, on common roads, has been found practica
ble, and in all respects economical, by actual ex-
PjUBT'-'k m England, and has only been prevent
ed hitherto by the opposition (as is supposed) of
tiie agricultural interest. An effort is now being
made m this country, where the prejudices of a
single interest are loss formidable obstacles to a
public improvement, to introduce steam carriages
for our roads. Mr. J. K. Fisher, of this city, lias
invented several valuable improvements in the
construction and arrangement of such carriages,
and is uow raising a joint stock company with a
capital of SIOO,OOO, for the manufacture of his ma
chine. A specimen, showing the working parts
of tho steam carriage, is now on exhibition at the
Crystal Palace, and will be found an interesting
object of curiosity, to those especially who nave
never seen such a machine. Mr. Fisher is person
ally in attendance every forenoon. He alleges
that he can stop his carriage, or turn it, in less
time than a horse vehicle of equivalent weight aud 1
power, and that it will also wear roads much less.
Atrial will bo mado publieally, when the roadsare
in proper condition for the purpose.— N. Y. Cour.
