COLUMBUS. TUESDAY* NOVEMBER 9, 1858.
Basks and Ball Roads.
We publish in another column a bill introduced
by Col. John Milledge, of Richmond, into the
House of Representatives, having relation to the
above subjects. Its provisions strike us as being
proper. There can be no question that much of
the evil with which our people have been afflicted
from the collapse of insolvent Banking Institu
tions might have been avoided if a proper consid
eration had been taken of the policy of granting
their charters. Those who are acquainted with
the practical details of our legislation understand
with what hurry and inconsideratoness such mat
ters are generally pushed through the formative
process. In granting the charter of a Bank, it
seems to us our Legislators should know some
thing more than the names of the corporators and
the locality of the Institution. Some reflection,
at least, should be indulged and an opinion form
ed upon the expediency of the grant. The prod
igality with which those benefits have been lavish
ed upon the people convinces us that very little
consideration has been desiowed upon this subject.
For example, our Legislature of 1854, (we believe)
chartered the “Bank of Morgan,” to be located in
the town of Morgan. Calhoun county. This vil
lage has between two and three hundred inhabit
ants, and though they are an industrious and thri
ving peoplo, they have about as much uso for a
bank as a horse has for five legs. Fortunately
they wore saved from bankruptcy by the failure of
the scheme to go into operation. Other banks in
other places, with as little reason or necessity for
their creation have made a beginning, emitted
their bills and, after a flourishing existence of a
few months, died of utter emptiness —perpetuating
their miserable memories by the losses they en
tailed upon the community they pretended to
ble§£.
The abovo general observations apply with equal
force to Rail Road charters. The indiscriminate
granting of all such applications cannot but oper
ate with prejudice to the interests of the State, and
considering that the bill of Col. Milledge will have
the effect to check this prodigal expenditure of
franchises, we hope it will become a law.
The Next Congress.
After the result of the elections in October, wo
published a table showing the new members elec
ted up to that time, and also indicated how parties
would stand in the next Congress provided there
was no change in the delegations from the States
yet to elect.
The House, including Oregon, consists of 237
members. In tho October elections eighty five
members were elected—fifty three Republicans and
thirty-two Democrats. The elections which took
place yesterday in New York, New Jersey, Mass
achusetts, Delaware, Illinois, Michigan, and Wis
consin, according to tlic returns received, has, in
all probability, resulted in the election of fifty-oue
Republicans and fifteen Democrats. This will
make the strength of parties already elected stand
as follows:
Dem. Rep.
Elected in Oct. 32 53
De Nov.. 15 ‘1
47 104
The States yet to elect are Alabama, California,
Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire,
North Carolina, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia, which elect eighty-six members. In
tho presout House they stand as follows :
Dem. Rep, Am.
67 7 12
Add already elected 47 104
114 111 12
In the States yet to elect the Republicans may
gain two members in Connecticut, and the Demo
crats will, in all probability, gain six members
from the South Americans in Kentucky, Tenn
essee, Georgia, North Carolina, and Maryland.—
Such a result will make the next Congress stand
—Democrats 118, Republicans 113, South Amer
icans 6. In no contingency can the Republicans
have the control of the next Congress.— Washing

Western & Atlantic Railroad.
We have received the report of the Superintend
ent and Treasurer of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad for which we make acknowledgement to
| the proper source. Gov. Brown, has already in his
| message given such a complete view of the opera
tions of that road that it would be superflu
ous for us to refer our readers to the detailed items
in this report. We should only find a confirma
tion of what the Governor has told us, and what
the Treasury vaults and records demonstrate, that
it has made monthly payments ofs2s,oooiuto tha
State purse from tho time it passed under its pres
ent administration. The peoplo of Georgia, sit
ting in judgment upon the conduct of their
I agents, return the unanimous verdict of well done
I good and faithful servants. We take this occa-
I aion to signify our regret that we were not able to
| accept the polite invitation of the Superintendent
{, to take an excursion over the road at the time ap-
I pointed.

they arc charged.
A Bill Introduced by Col. John Mlllege, of Rich
mond.
To be entitled An Act to require certain person or
persons tcho desire to obtain either a Bail Roadl
or Bank charter, or charters . to give notice of
their intended application to the Legislature for
such purpose, d'c.
Whereas. Many Railroad and Bank charters j
have hitherto been granted without due considera
tion. often against the will, and frequently to the
injury of the people of this State—for remedy
whereof,
let. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State af Georgia , in General
Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the au
thority of the same That from and after the pas
sage of this Act, it shall be obligatory on any per
n fannth *y dsairat bo K&da t body
politic, either for the purpose of constructing a
Railroad, or doing a banking business, to give no
tice of his or their intention to apply to the Legis
lature next ensuing, for an act of incorporation,
in two gazettes published at the Capital, five
months, (6 months,) prior to the month before
the meeting of the General Assembly; which said
notice of intended application, if for a Railroad
charter, shall fully set forth tho name and resi
dences of tho original corporators—its name,
length, and termini, and amount of capital sup
posed to bo necessary for the building of said
Road, and the several counties through which it
is intended to pass. If notice of intended appli
cation is for a Bank charter, in like manner it must
state sully the names of the original corporators,
whether residents or non-residents of the State,
the name of the proposed Bank, the amount of its
capital, and place where it is intended to bo loca
ted.
Sec. 2d. And be it further enacted, That it shall
be the duty of someone of the original incorpor
ators of cither of the above stated proposed incor
porations, to file in the office of the Executive of
the State, one month before the meeting of the Le
gislature, a copy of both of the gazottes in which
said intended application for chartered privileges
is printed, with tho certificate of tho publishers,
that said notice was running in the papers for five
consecutive months prior to that time. Whereup
on it shall be the duty of his Excellency, either in
his annual message, or shortly thereafter, to com
municate to both branches of the Legislature,
what notices of application have been made and
filed in his office, either for Railroad or Bank char
ters, whether tho several provisions of this act
have been fully complied with—accompanied with
such remarks touching the wisdom and expedien
cy of their passage or rejection, as his general
knowledge of what may or may not be expedient
to the interests of the State, may suggest.
Sec. 3d. Be it further enacted , That if, after
due notice of application for charters for either of
the purposes above specified, according to the
terms and provisions of this act, the parties mak
ing said application, should fail to have introduc
ed a bill to carry out their design, or if introduced,
from some cause it fail of a passage, or is vetoed,
then, in the happening of either of these events,
the notice given becomes void and of no effect, and
the provisions and terms of this act must be again
as fully complied with as if no notice of applica
tion had ev: r been given—a new notice on each
succeeding Legislature being required.
Sec. 4th. And be it further enacted, That all
laws and parts of laws militating against the pro
visions of this act, be and the same are hereby re
pealed.
Crinoline Interdicted.
The papers tell us that Crinoline has come un
der ecclesiastical censure. A society of Christians
have gono so far as to refuse to permit the wearers
of stiff expanded skirts to partake of the Holy
Communion. And other churches have anathe
matised the followers of this tasteful fashion. We
think they have stepped beyond their legitimate
sphere, and that their hostility to hoops will prove
as unavailing as it is high handed and silly. Ex
cept when considerations of a moral character are
concerned, churches have no right to denounce a
style of dress. If it does violence to taste by its
ridiculous ugliness, in spite of the potency of fash
ion, it will soon disappear. If it be inconvenient,
uncomfortable or scandalously expensive, the sen
sible and economical will soon rebel, and the god
dess will have to issue another style of plates.—
But when tho fashion is approved by old and
young, mother and daughter, and its adoption be
comes universal, its patrons will treat proscrip
tion, abuse, remonstrance and ridicule with con
tempt, and lay it aside only when t.he want of
something new is felt.
Good people are not always wise. We have no
doubt these simple-hearted church officials believ
ed it their duty to rebuke this vast circumference
of apparel. But profoundly ignorant are they of
female nature, and of the omnipotence of fashion,
if they expect their condemnation to be heeded.—
The silks will still sweep proudly up the aisles,
and spread themselves over the pew seats. And
if these foes to hoops arc not watchful over their
spirits, they will grow wrathful when they behold
three occupying the space where once six sat com
fortably. But they have wilfully gone in the way
of temptation, and if their eyes should flash and
their cheeks redden at the sight, they must not im
pute the guilt to the incorrigible worldliness of the
sisters, but to their own folly and tyranny.
It is common for men to pride themselves on
their power. But fashion defies and scorns it.—
The meanest domestic despot finds that when bon
nets and dress patterns are concerned, he must
yield. He may hector and command, but the wife
and daughter obey the dress-maker. No matter
how timid, loving, and exemplary, when the sa
cred rights of the toilette are invaded, they arc
resolute, stern and refractory. They will not tol
erate dictation in a matter that concerns them
selves, and themselves alone. They may consult
the opinion of the sterner sex with regard to color
and cost, but their minds are always made up be
forehand. True, the bonnets now worn off the
head are small, but who can make them larger ex
cept those whose hair-knots they rest upon ? Is
there any one simple enough to prohibit their use?
If they desire to feel their insignificancy and to
experience the tremendous power of fashion, let
any father or husband insist on having the crown
of the head covered! We dare conjecture that
their present exceeding littleness was caused by
the ridicule heaped upon them when they did cov
er a small portion of the head ; and it is not fair
for us to make fun of them because they seem to
us to subserve no purpose. They are certainly
pretty, and that is more than can be said for the
things that rise from our own lordly heads.
But we are as incapable of forming a correct
opinion of the dimensions of ladies’ bonnets as of
the breadth of their skirts. We are thoroughly ig
norant on these points. They embrace matters
that belong exclusively to woman's allotted sphere;
and we should not get angry and bluster when she
pronounces our caricatures childish and our sug
gestions impertinent. Taking this view of the
subject, it was botli cruel and undignified for those
Societies to unchurch those matrons and maidens
simply because they saw proper to wear under
skirts encircled with steel. If they have really re
solved themselves into millinery shops, the ladies
they have excommunicated certainly will not pa
tronize them. —Charleston Courier.

Tha Imputations of the London Times.
We are an extremely excitable people, and
therefore prone to say and do things under the in
fluence of tho moment which on sober second
thought wo regret. So excessively sensitive and
touchy are we, that the least unfavorable criticism
from abroad, arouses a wild-fire of indignation
through the entire length and breadth of the land.
What Mrs. Trollope said years ago is remembered
to this day; what Dickens, the novel writer, said
will never be forgotten nor forgiven, and as to the
London Times, its praise and censure, even its
passing allusions to our conditions, are received
as matters of national moment and import, copied
by all the newspapers, commented upon, rejoiced
over, or condemned. The other day, the Times,
in one of its fits of temper, published certain char
ges against our Minister in China, to the effect
that he had allowed himself to be made the dupe
of the Russian Minister, betrayed American inter
ests to promote those of Russia in China, and
made altogether a “silly treaty,” and notwith
standing the Times’ reputation for veracity and
integrity of purpose is notoriously a very low one,
and there being many palpable reasons to suspect
its motives in these particular premises, leading
American journals forget themselves so far as to
call upon the Administration to submit immedi
ately the Chinese treaty and the official corres
pondence relating thereto to the country, investi
| gate the charges preferred, do these and many
other things to vindicate our national reputation,
both as a government and as a people. We trust
the Administration will do no such thing. It
would be far beneath its dignity and the dignity of
this nation, to heed in the least the imputations of
a foreign newspaper. There is no use in hurrying
this matter. If there should be anything wrong
about the treaty, which we do not believe there is,
it will transpire early enough. Would the British
Cabinet take notice of a charge made in an Amer
ican journal affecting the character of its Minis
ter at Washington or Nicaragua? We have yet
to learn how to take things coolly. Excitability
and sensitiveness are very undignified qualities,
belonging rather to national vanity than pride.—

PKOCLAMATION.
GEORGIA.
By Joseph E. Brown, Governor of said State.
WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty God to
smile upon us as a people, in much mercy, during
another year, to crown our labors with rich bless
ings, to protect and preserve us from war, hunger
and pestilence, and to pour out his Holy Spirit
upon us in copious showers: And whereas, these
manifestations of His protecting care and loving
kindness, admonish us of the debt of gratitude,
which we, as people of a great State, owe to the
giver of every good and perfect gift, and of our
duty to be humble and thankful, rendering prais
es to his great name, “in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs,singing and making melody in our
hearts to the Lord, giving thanks always for all
things.”
I do, therefore, issue this, my Proclamation,
setting apart Thursday, the 25th day of this pres
ent month, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer.
And Ido earnestly invite the different congrega
tions composing all the religious denominations
of every name in this State, to meet at their re
spective places of worship, on that day, and unite
in returning thanks and singing praises to our
God for his wondrous works in the past, and in
fervent prayer for His protecting care in future,
remembering that the Psalmist has said “Let the
people praise Thee, then shall the earth yield her
increase, and God even our God, shall bless us.”

i TIIK GORDV GRAPE.
TIIIS delicious and valuable table Grape was first
brought to notice two years ago by Mr. L. Gordy
of this county. Those who have seen this Grape are
willing to testify in its favor. To those who are unac
quainted with ft we refer the following testimonial:
Columbus, Ga., October 1858.
MR. L. GORDY— Dear Sir:
VVe the undersigned have seen and eaten of your
delicious native Grape, and it affords us much pleasure
to state, that we think Jwe have never seen a Grape
that would compare w ith it in excellence as a prolific
brand, the size of its fruit tfnd bnnehes, and their une
qualled flavor.
We hope that you may have astockof grow ing vines
of this valuable Grape sufficients supply the large de
mand you will have for them.
We recommend those of our friends who wish to
raise the Grape, by all means to purchase vines of you,
as your Grape is, in our opinion, less liable to rot, and
ripens more uniformly than any other variety that we
have seen. [Signed by]

WILLIAMS’
PICTURE GALLERY IN FULL BLAST.
THE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co
lumbus, and in fact to all Georgia, that he is now
taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken
in the “Empire State.” either by a foreign or native ar
tist. His prices range from that much despised sum—
fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not
pretend to say that he is the test artist “in the United
States, yet he fears not the result of a comoarison with
those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver
tisements and puffs of their own manufacture. He
prefers that (ladies and gentlemen should judge for
themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fully understands the modus operandi of picture
taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial ..trial, and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store, Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and show
them his specimens at all times.
