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 ton States. 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.

A message was received from the Senate, through their Secretary, reporting the action of the Sena tus Academicus. Accompanying the message was a bill for organizing a system ot free schools. Af ter a running debate upon the propriety of reading the bill, in which quite a number of gentlemen participated—after a variety of motions, some lost, some withdrawn, Ac., Ac., without making a final disposition of the matter, the House adjourn ed to 9% o’clock to-morrow morning. The House seems wholly intent upon doing the Public Business in the shortest possible time. It is absolutely necessary that they should not meet every afternoon, as tho Committees must have time"to attend to the various matters with which 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.— Philadelphia Pennesfltanßf*. Telegraphic. REPORTED POR THE COLUMBUS TIMES.

A carpenter had been for some time repairing a dwelling whose mistress is a reputed termagant. Listening to her as she vented her wrath on her good natured “old man,” the other day, Shavings turned to us, and seriously said: “If I had such a wife as that, I’d ’point her funeral to-morrow, at two o’clock, and by J-o-c-k-s, the corpes would bo ready !” A good looking fellow was arraigned before the police court, charged with having stolen a watch. The judge asked him what induced him to com mit the theft. The young man replied that hav ing been unwell for some time the doctor advised him to take something, which he accordingly did. The judge asked him what had induced him to select a watch. “Why,” said the prisoner, “I thought if I only had the time, that nature would work a cure.” How can five persons divide five egg 3, so that each shall receive one, and still one remain in the dish? One takes the dish with the egg.

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.” Given under my hand and the Seal of the Ex ecutive Department at the Capitol in Mil ledgeville, this 4th day of November in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and fifty eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the 83d.

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. „ ©. T. WILLIAMS, ff**- Art**, CARRIAGE EMPORIUM!
