Pact Be Bull mad.
A bill for the construction of thi- road is now
under discussion in the United States Senate. It
was introduced by Senator Gw in, who is advocat
ing it with zeal and ability. The propriety of
using American iron and contracting for three
hundred thousand toon was discussed. It was
argued that wc should not use foreign iron that
English manufacturers had lowered their price ton
dollars a ton for the purpose of breaking Ameri
can manufacturers. Messrs. Clingman and Iver
son argued that this was a very expensive rivalry
(?) on the part of the English government, for as
the English manufacture four millions of tons an
uually, ten dollars would represent forty millions.
That we might as well say that American cotton
planters have lowered the price ol cotton to break
down the competition of Algeria.
Mr. Wilson, however, offered a substitute for
.Mr. G win's bill, proposing government aid direct.
This will open the old question of internal im
provement on the part of the General Government,
and wc may exjajct to hear the arguments in fa
vor of the Buffalo and New Orleans Railroad, and
the Mavsvillc road galvanized into life by Mr.
Wilson and his friends. The following is Mr.
Wilson’s bill:
The President and Senate shall appoint five
civil engineers, practically experienced in the
laying out of and construction ol railroads, who,
within two years shall locate the route of the rail
road from the Missouri lliver to Sun Francisco,
through the region of the mol t->d paral
lels.
If the Prcsideut approves of their decision, the
railroad, as located by them, shall be built by the
Government, under the direction ol a Hoard, to
consist of the Secretaries ol Wurand the Interior,
the Postmaster General, and the Attorney Gener
al, who shall contract with the lowest bidder for
its construction, in sections of not more than
twenty-live miles in length.
Money to build the road shall be raised by loan
as needed, in sums of not more than $10,000,000
annually.
• From the passage of the act till the locution ol
the road> all public lauds between the aforesaid
parallels shall bo withheld lroin sale, hut shall be
open to pre-emption by actual settlers.
After the road is located, the proceeds of the
gale of lauds, for one hundred and fifty miles on
each side, shall constitute a fund for the construc
tion of the road, and the payment of tlie debt in
curred for it.
Mr. Wilson proposes this on the ground that the
Pacific Railroad is a public necessity, and that
there is no hope that private capital will invest
in it. If done at all it must be done by govern
ment.
Christmas in Columbus.
To-day is Christmas ! What joy and pleasure

(Heaven bless them !) how their bright eyes glow
with rapture as they behold at Strupper s, Sto

How tho boys, too, send up their sky-rockets,
light up whirlev-gigs, pop the crackers and are
carried away in the blaze of excitement! Jus
800- them '! Fun is the word, here they go and tkoirt
hearts leap from w ithin thorn ! W ho could remain
insensible to the feeling that this season awakens ?
To be cold ami ehurly while the stir of the emo
tions, the bustle of the affections, the luDving of
the calm, heavenly waters of the heart is going
on, and all nature unites in the festival ? Lot all
be joyous, and abovo all, remember the glorious

We took a look •yesterday inside the Episcopal
Church of this city. It is decorated beautifully,
and displays the most exquisite taste. Wc will
not attempt a description, lest wc do injustice to

And feast thy poor neighbors, the great with

Congress.
Tho Senate, yesterday, passed a joint resolu
tion, providing for an adjournment from Dec. 23d
to January 4th. Mr. Crittenden gave notice that
he would call up the French spoliation bill on
the 6th prox. The Pacific Railroad bill coming
up, Mr. Wilson offered a substitute, a synopsis of
which will bo found in telegraphic report. Mr.
Foster moved au amendment to the hill, that the
road should be built exclusively of American iron,
which, after considerable debate, was carried by
a vote of 25 to 23. Mr. Rice then spoke at some
length in favor of liis bill introduced last Thurs
day. aud a synopsis of which will bo found in the
report. Mr. Rice introduced a hill organizing
the Territory of Dakotah, pending which the Sen
ate adjourned.
in the House, a resolution was adopted direct
ing the Committee of Ways and Means to inquire
into the expediency of au appropriation for the
Bth census. The consideration of the bill grant
ing pensions to the soldiers of the war of 1812 was
then resumed, but uo action was taken. Notice
was given of a bill regulating the duty on imports.
A resolution was adopted, calling upon the Sec
retary of the Treasury for information in regard
to the exports and imports of the United States
from 1853 to 1857. The House then concurred
with the Senate resolution, providing for an ad
journment from Dec. 23 to Jan. 4.

Tammany a*4 AnU-Tamaaay Democrat*.
It is known to the Democrats of the country,
that their brethren in New York find it is difficult
to dwell together in unity. There U generally
some local issue to separate and divide them into
parties, so that they are often defeated by the con
sequence of their own folly. The President, it
seems, has healed the last division by a compro
mise alike honorable t* both sides —Tammany is
now to be recognized an the only legitimate or
ganization of the Democratic party id New T ork,
and all factions hostile to it are to he discounten
anced. The happiest results are anticipated to
flow from this peace-treaty, a? the democracy uni
ted are strong enough to overcome all opposition.
Messrs. Augustus Schell and Isaac \ . Fowler were
present at the White House when tho contract for
harmony and unity was signed, and we trust that
i the bond of union is now effectually sealed.
The League.
It did not propose to build up a political party ,
and it did not do so, because the principle, or fact,
that it was intended to combat, has not yet occur- j
red, perhaps. But its objects were laudable, and
worthy the hearty support of every true Southern
man. The League was premature, but let the
leaguers hold themselves in readiness for the oc
currence of the event which they deplore, and they
will find plenty to their ranks. We shall ask the
privilege ourselves of doing duty to the South, in
our humble way, by their side. — Tnskegee Repub

In the separation of Rev. Mr. Wrss
from his congregation here, we can but add that

at any future time, they will gladly welcome. Ilis j

Enquirer.
Hon. Jeremiah Clemens —This gentleman, ox-
United States Senator from Alabama, is writing,
it is said, a novel entitled “The Rivals: a Tale of
the Times of Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamil
ton.” The Memphis Eagle & Enquirer, confirms
the report that the gentleman is about to take |
the editorial charge of that peper. It says :
“Standing upon a great national platform, he
will advocate the Union as it is, and the Consti
tution as it is, aud repel all sectional encroach
ments.”
It by no means follows that because Mr. Clem
ens sustained a respectable position in the U S
Senate, or can write a story at his leisure, he can
edit successfully a daily journal. It requires pe
culiar tact and talent to succoed in this branch
of head work. The printer, if not the spirit, will
say unto him, “write,” and keep saying it every
day, whether he feels like doing it or not. And
not only to write every day, but to write well,
sensibly, and to survey the whole field of society,
to treat every conceivable subject with thousands
of eyes looking on to detect the slightest defects,
or the least tripping. It is not strange that so
many fail to go unscathed through the ordeal. —
We wish Mr. Clemens entire success, especially
since he is to be connected with one of the stauch
est and ablest papers among our Western ex- j
changes albeit it does not always properly give us :

House of Representatives.
Washington, Dec. 20.
Mr. Hughes, of Ind., introduced a resolution
instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to
inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill
making ap appropriation for taking tho eighth
census.
Mr. Whiteley, of Del., offered a substitute to
confine the census simply to an enumeration of
the people.
The latter was rejected by 51 against 140.
Mr. Hughes’ resolution was then adopted.
The House went into committee of the whole
on the state of the Union, and resumed the con
sideration of tho bill granting pensions to soldiers
of the war of 1812.
Mr. Smith, of Illinois, wanted to include the
soldiers of the Black Hawk War. He scouted the
plea, that because the treasury was not full, jus
tice should not be done those patriots.
Jones, of Tennessee, while maintaining
the duty of the government to provide pensions
for those disabled by wounds or diseases contrac
ted in the public service; held that it was not right
or proper to inaugurate a general service system
of pensions.
A debate followed, for and against the bill, but
without coming to a conclusion thereon, the com
mittee rose.
Mr. Phillips, of Pa., gave notice of his inten
tion to introduce a bill regulating and fixing the
duty on imports, and for other purposes.
On motion of Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, a resolu
tion was adopted requesting the Secretary of the
Treasury to furnish a statement of the value of
the imports from Great Britain and France into
the United States, and the exports from tho last
named to* those countries for the years 1853, 1854,
1855, 1856 and 1557, the information to be obtain
ed from the returns of their custom houses.
The House, by 130 against 66, suspended the
rules in order to consider the Senate resolution
proposing a temporary adjournment from the 23d
of December to the 4th of January, and the reso
lution was passed by 38 against 94.—Adjourned.
The Coolie Slaves of Cuba.
The workings of English philanthropy as man
ifested in that power fostering and abetting the
Coolie trade are illustrated by the condition of
such of these unfortunate creatures as survive a
transportation with which the “horrors of the
middle passage” may not be compared. They
havenothing like the capacity of the negro for la
bor and endurance, and yet the same tasks are
imposed upon them. A Virginia gentleman who
recently visited the island, says that suicide is
common among them, sometimes ten or a dozen
hanging themselves at a time to escape the insup
portable burden of their misery. No provision is
made for their return to their native land from
which they have been beguiled, aud their mas
ters having no interest in them, except to get the
greatest amount of work possible out of them du
ring their period of apprenticeship, heap upon
them labors which soon break them down, and
often hurry them to the grave. “How terrible is
the picture,” says a sensible New York paper,
“and how truthful and suggestive the one single
sentence —“Their masters having no interest in
them!” And yet this trade is encouraged by the
English as one dictated by humanity and tending
to abate the horrors of the African slave trade.”

Naval Depot— A Word to the Georgia Delegation.
We trust it will not be deemed obtrusive for us
to urge upon the attention of our members in Con
gress, a subject that deeply concerns our State —
we allude to the projected Naval Depot near
Brunswick, in which every Georgian and South
ern man must and ought to feel interested. It will
he recollected that more than two years ago, Mr.
Dobbin, who was then Secretary of the Navy, ap
pointed a Board of Examiners to report upon the
best location for the establishment of such a Depot,
between the ports of Norfolk and Pensacola ; and
after thorough investigation, the Board reported
Blythe Island, in the vicinity of Brunswick, as
being in all respects the most suitabls and desir
able point. Consequently at the session of Con
gress 0f1856-'57 (thanks to the zealous and inde
fatigable exertions of Hon. James L. Seward, the
Representative from our first Congressional Dis
trict) an appropriation of $200,000 was made for
that purpose. Of this sum a portion has been
used in purchasing Lao site ; but since then the
Navy Department appears to have forgetten it—-
our Congressmen have neglected it—a general
lethargy seems t j have overspread it, and unless
an effort is mad<- to break this Itip Van Winkle
slumber, we apprehend the whole affair will be
suffered to remain in statu quo until the “crack of
doom.” Therefore, as a Georgian, and the con
ductor of a Georgia journal, having her welfare
at heart, we feel it our duty, and wc are sure the
citizens of the State will sustain us, in making this
appeal to our Representatives to act in this matter
promptly , earnestly and faithfully. Their con
stituents expect it of them, and it is incumbent
upon them to do it. The Government has already
invested too much money in the proposed Depot
to suffer it to remain idle. The question is asked,
why is not the Act of Congress carried out ? Econ -
omy if no other consideration, should cause addi
tional appropriations to be made at once to carry
out the work already begun. Had this been a
Northern appropriation, the project would long
ago have been perfected; but our Representatives
content themselves with emitting gas about South
ern rights, Southern in teres Island Southern equali
ty ; and then sleep upon their posts, suffering
millions to go to tho North without stretching
forth their hands to secure a beggarly pittance of
a few hundred thousand dollars for the South.—
The Northern people suck the marrow, and we
grumble over the bones—they drink the pap and
we lick the spoon—the dollars and dimes are
thrown into their side of the scale, and our end
kicks the beam. These things ought not to be.
We might say more, but it is needless. Our Rep
resentatives are not ignorant of the importance of
this Depot not only to our own State, but to the
South, and, indeed, to the whole country. With
out, therefore, entering into an extended and un
necessary argument, we conclude with the earnest
hope, which will doubtless meet with a response
throughout thej3tate, that immediate and effici
ent action be taken in the premises. We deem it
necessary merely to direct the attention of our
Congressmen to this matter in order to secure the
desired result.
P. S.—Since the above was w ritten, we have
found the following resolution, passed by the Leg
islature on Saturday, the day of adjournment:
“The rules were suspended and Mr. Stiles mov
ed to take up and agree to a House Resolution re
questing our Senators and Representatives in Con

Chattanooga,
To which State docs it belong—Georgia or Tcnn.
The remarks in our paper of last week, in
which attention was asked to the mooted point as
the true boundary between this State and Georgia
has aroused the proud spirit of some Tennessean,
who boasting of a, residence amongst ‘hog drivers
and mule raisers,’ indites his protestation against
being Georgianized, in the Gazette of the 18th
over the signature “Chattanooga.” His abuse of
Georgia, her laws, her kid gloved aristocracy Ac.,
will furnish good laughing matter on both sides
of the line. It is not our purpose to defend the
great State of Georgia, against the strictures of
“Chattanooga, ” nor to present her code, in con
trast with that of the State with whose welfare
we have become identified, ft has been remarked
by men of comprehensive views, and safe judg
ment, that Chattanooga is geographically and
commercially allied to Georgia: and if, within her
jurisdiction would receive that degree of attention
and patronage from the management of the Wes
tern & Atlantic R. R., calculated greatly to en
hance her interests.
Her frontier location, and her feeble competi
tion with her now favored and prosperous sister
cities of Tennessee, has subjected, and will proba
; bly continue for years tc subject her to an exis
tence of neglected orphanage. The ca. sa. law
of Georgia, alluded to in terms of detestation,and
other flings at Georgia character, tending to ex
cite the jealousy and prejudices of the feeble-min
ded, and uninformed, may be characterized as
inapposite, if not unbecoming to a high-toned and
decorous consideration of the subject. One would
suppose that the Gazette's contributor had expe
rienced some loss of liberty from the immuring
operationsof the ca. sa. law, and has removed his
domicil beyond its clutches. Honest men in
Georgia are never terrified by the law.
Seriously, in order that we be not misunderstood
we will say, that for many years distinguished
Georgia Statesmen have questioned the correct
ness of the South Eastern boundary between the
two States, and being corroborated by many citi
zens of this ity in the opinion that if a Hue cor
rectly run would place this section within Geor
gia limits, it would inure to the benefit of our city
and adjoining country, wc ventured to suggestthe
views published last week. We are governed by
no antipathy to Tennessee or Tennesseans, but
are moved solely by a desire to promote the pub
lic good. — Chattanooga Representative.

Paris, Nov. 25, 1858.
This city wasueverso full as it is now. It is
hopeless getting a decent room in a good quarter
of the city. It is idle to think of procuring a
seat in any theatre ten minutes after the curtain
is up. It is hard to secure a cabinet in any of
the fashionable restaurants, and impossible to
get one at the Maison D’Or near midnight. The
majority of the new comets are Russians, who are
fleeing the great social break up which is at pres
ent turning everything topsy turvy in that coun
try. Many of them bring a large part of their
fortune with them to place it-out of the reach of
the revolution impending there. Many come to
secure places for the great festivals which the
visit of the Czar next spring will of course give
rise to. Many to see the world—an advantage
they did not possess during the former Czars:
For instance, there is an iron master in Paris
now, named J&kobleff, who could not procure
from Czar Nicholas leave to quit the country; for
his income is set down at two millions of dollars
annually, and the Czar was afraid that if he once
left Russia with ayear’s income in his pocket he
would never return, although his Russian estates
are worth $40,000,000. The Czar knew as well
as anybody that a man with two millions dollars
at his credit could make a detect figure at

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIYE,
I Among all preparations for the hair that have
been introduced as infallible, none has ever given
the satisfaction or gained the popularity that
Prof. Wood's Hair Restorative now has. His
Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable
fashionable toilets, and tho ladies, wherever they
have tested it,pronounce it a peerless article. They
find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates a
fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative
j power of the roots on tho denuded places, and
| causes the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis
j solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
ness has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
imparts the sofness and flexibility- of silk to the
hair, and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy and
in full vigor. —Xetc York Tribune.

This unique and mammoth establishment com
bines a greater number of attractions than were
evjr before offered to the public. Tho Perform
ing Elephants, Antony and Cleopatra, are tho
same which for months, created tho greatest fu
ror in London and Paris, while more recently
their performances were the theme of universal
admiration for months, at the Broadway Theatre
New York. Their wonderful docility, and tho
perfection of their training, make them the most
interesting specimens of the animal creation that
the world has ever eeou. All thoir faculties have
been developed to tho greatest oxtent, and they
stand forth as sui generis, the most remarkable of
their kiud. They stand upon their heads, play
upon musical instruments, ascend inclined planes
and go through all the operations of the most ac
complished acrobats.
In addition, Bailey & Co’s Circus and Menage
rie comprises asplendid’collcction of wild animals.
The Troupe of Riders, Vaulters, Lady Eques
