We are waiting With anxious expectation to see the action of the Legislature of Georgia on this subject. If wo have had real* ly just causes of complaint against the General Government—if we havo not been fighting a* gainst chimeras conjured up by our own bruin, but one course remains for the party in Georgia, which has of late waged an incessant war against a corrupt Administration, to pursue—and that course is, for our Legislature to pass immediate ly, strong and decided resolutions, di«approviug the course ofthe Administration, ii\ this regard. No one can justly call himself a State Eights' man who can view this high-handed measure with indiffereuce. If it is not rebuked with indigna tion, States Rights are at an end. All should feel alike on this subject. The rights of oil Ameri can citizens are assailed alike. Tho Whig mem bers from New-Jerscy had the prima facie evi dence of membership; and that moment in which they were deprived of their scats, (their claims not bring examined) the Constitution of the country was violated.

The enemy inflated with success and strengthened by a vast accession of savages lay siege to his camp.

But for the inconsiderate valor of the impotuous sous of Kentucky, the events of the 5th of May, would have formed one ofthe bright est pages in the history of the war Notwithstand ing, however, the loss of many of theso brave tuen, we have ample cause of rejoicing when we associate the capture of York with this repulse. By it the talisman is broken winch bound the nav agas to die enemy,for it is contrary to the natures of these beings, to lie true to misfortune: and when it is known to them that their noble ally is deprived ofthe means in case of defeat, of fur- nishiugfrom his own store-hnnses.whnt plunder, in the event of success would make unnecessary, it is to ho expected that they will desert his stand ard, and we shall on this ns on n former occasion obtain from the necessities of Great BriUiin, what hertffjuJtire withholds.” ID* Mow is it that no Richmond Whig arrives now-a-dnys, except by die Western Mail—and not a daily Whig has come to hnnd at all, in due time since the Presidential election commenced?

Mr. Van Bures may thank these two Jerry Sneaks for a good share of that unexampled popular condemnation under which be is now writhing. HARD CIPHERING. Since the days of Major Jack Downing, we have never beeu more amused than we have late ly been by the desperate figuring of some of our Loco Foco friends. Since a gleam of hope has dawned in Virginia, Pennsylvania aud New- York, they have straightway turned to the pencil and slate, to see if Vast could be re-elected, even should he get tho three great States. The apall- ing condition of their party lias been at length disolosed to them by finding that they cannot re elect him even by giving him these, unless Ten- ueasee and Mississippi be also thrown in. It would be a wonderful chapter of accidents in deed should he get New-York, Pennsylvania, Vir ginia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The whole Treasury of the United Stotes and an army of office-holders can do wonders, but they cannot bny nor subdue a whole people, spread over a vast extent of country, end mostly in the peaceful pursuits of agriculture. Since the above was written, we have returns which senle the question. Two of the above States, viz: New-York and Pennsylvania, have thrown their electoral votes for Gen. Harrison. Beyrout stands on a rising ground close to die mi shore, and originally named Berytus. It is enclosed with walls, and supplied with water hy rivulets from the neighbouring hills. Taken from tho Saracens by Baldwin, 1111, and recap- tired in 1317. Ten years afterwards the Christ ians took it, aud it was frequently ravaged during the crusades, when it was a large town, and de pot for the costly merchandize of Damascus, was distinguished by an institution for the study of jurisprudence, and bad the honour of callinj into public life some of (the most rii*tingnUhe< civilians, whence it was named tho mother and nurse of tho laws. It fell into the hands of the Druses, from whom it was captured by th«Turk*, and novPftmder the dominion of the Regenera tor of Egypt. At one period the country was 100 miles iu extent, and divided into seven dis trict*. Tho Druses, a most extraordinnary class ' among the families of mankind, are calculated at 100,000, their language pure Arabic, and they keep close together about Mount Lehnnon. No Mahometan is permitted to reside iu theirdis- trict. I saw several walking ul.out here in the dressof females. Many are distinguished with a largo tnntonraor horn, placed in an upright position and fixed on a cushion to their forehead, with n scarf thrown over it to veil their faces, af fording a striking commentary on many passa ges of the inspired volnme.

Awful Disclosures.—There have been great many awful disclosures in our time. The end ofthe world has boon several times confi dently predicted, and tho astronomical coteries astounded with calculations ofaw-ful eclipses, in volving even the safety of our planet. Scarcely has the horror created hy Maria Monk’s fictitious disclosures died away, after hnv- ing safely been brought to bed of nn illegitiragte child, before another saint oceupies tho witness stand, and convulses the whole social system with piomised disclosures.

His name was also R tvurcry— /ICIuvona our standards! 8et upon our foes, Our ancient word nf courage—Fair 8t. George! Inspire us with the spleen of fiery dragons: Rfl Upon them!” C3*Now, that the smoke ofthe battle has nearly cleared away, let us look over the battle field, and—we were going to say, count the killed and wounded—hut we will net exactly do that yet, we will for the present examine the disabled artil lery of the enemy; those great guns that belched forth so much file and smoke at the onset of the engagement, and yet did so little execution iu the heal of the conflict. First m review, we march Amos before the American people. We hove the authority of M r. Duane for saying, that he was Uie real soul of Gen. Jackson's administration, and we are in duced to believe that he plays the same important part in the present one, from their having de tached him out of the ranks of the cabinet to take the field in person. Now, Amos has a wonder fully exngerated estimate ofhis own powers, and believes, whatever may be the fact, that he is the Atlas, upon whose shoulders a goodly portion nf this Globe rests. We are witting to concede, that the whole of Van Burenisni rests upon them— but God save this country, if the high interests of civilization and Urn great onward march of civil liberty, bonnd up in {he destines of this country, are really dependent upon such a worn down prostitueos Amos Kendall. He has undertaken to lecture the people rx cathedra—bo prates of the morality of democracy, os if he cared for the morality of any thing but figniep. He indulges in figures of rhetoric with n mock enthusiasm, when hit whole soul is bouud up in a calculation of profit and loss. We are very much inclined to give his saint- ship Uie credit of dealing out Mr. Van Buren last card. He is a very proper man for a dealer toa political Faro Bank. lie has all that imper- lurable gravity requisite for Uie great office. By Uicbye, what a lucky selection of terms was it in Mr. Van Buren to call his last most contempti ble and pitiful trick a card. The man no doubt thinks he has been playing at a game of hazard' while Uie dearest righs and highest interests ofthe people were thurmade tho sport of the wretched crew. Before Van Buren retires from the While House, he should have his portrait token with his last card in his hand, inscribed upon it iu large letters—forged correspondence between General Harrison and Arthur Tappan. [from OUR CORRESPONDENT.] MILLEDGEVILLE, lltli Nov. 1840. Mr. Calhoun moved to take up the resolution on the table to bring on tho election of Senator for Congress for the ensuing six years. £Ir. Echols, of Walton, promptly opposed ta king up Uie resolution, inasmuch us the Senate was very thinly attended, &c. Mr. Junes, of Paulding, was not prepared \o vote for any man ns Senator to Congress, and wanted more time to make up his mind. Mr. Graves, of Randolph, was opposed to ta king up tho resolution. In looking over the Sen ate, he saw many vacant seats, and it was impor tant to go deliberately in the choice of a Senator who is to fill the office for the next six yenrs.— There were (he said) many new members in the Senate and he said the disu'nguished men of the country were not sufficiently known. Kir. Calhoun instated that it was important that the time for the election should be determined. The Legislature would have the election to make and it would be nothing hiK right to decide the question as to Uie time, and he presumed that the Senate was now prepared to go into the election. Mr. Spencer, of Liberty, understood the ques tion before the Senate, to be limited to taking up the resolution. When the resolution was fnirly before the Senate he would address his remarks to Uie question, ns to Uie time ofthe election, but if Uie Senate intended to make the election, and he presumed they did, and that the constitution required it, it was important to take up the reso lution and set n definite day for Uie election.— He waaasfar as one man could be, from wishing to hnrry any man into any election before he was prepared, but he would implore the 8enateto take up Uie resolution—aud if the day indicated in the resolution was loo near at hand, he pledg ed himself to assist in adopting a day so remote that every man should be satisfied ao to the time; he was ouly auxious as to Uie time when. The motion was lust, ayes 37, nays 48 My impression is that the Administration Par ty willkeepofTthis election during the session, if possible. Yours, Ac. Money in Till.—The following circumstance is as true as it is singular. A few years ago, twq- gentlemen,who hod been left executors to the will of a friend, on examining Uie property, found u acrap of paper on which was written, '‘seven hun dred pounds in Till." This Uiey took in the lit eral sense, end exsmlsad all his apartment care fully, but in vain. They sold his collection of hooks to u bookseller, and paid the legacies in proportion. The singularity of Uie circumstance •w-osioued them frequently to converse about it, end they collected among the hooks sold (which had taken place seven weeks before) there was n folia edition of Tillotson's Sermons. The pro bability of this being whet was alluded to by Uie Word "Till*' on Uie piece of paper, made one of them immediately wait upon Uie bookseller who itirehased Uie books, and asked him the edition of TtUotson, which hud Uie books sold to him; on his reply ' re. and Uie volumes beiug handed ill immediately purchased lly examining Uie leaves, ’-dispeVwd in various pla in amount of seven Inin- ; U. perhaps, no less re- iug, Uie bookseller' in- „ demon at Cambridge, rend- t , of Uiis edition to be sold, had und desired it mightbe sent to Cam- was accordingly douc? but Uie Uie geutlftpwnVi expocta- iUmmd. and had been in Uie he period of this very singu, ■i 03* We hnvA before us n fmtrUiof July speech delivered in 8avannaJi,by Alex.

Kojinas,—.Allow me ihruugliyotircni- utuna, to call the attention of the Central Rail Rond Company to aomn facts that demand their attention, and when duly considered must result to the benefit of the Compnny, and all those who feel an interest in the success of the road. Why U the question so repeutodly asked in our streets, " the cause of so little cotton coming to Savan nah this season by Rail Rond!” Sorao persons attribute the cause to one thing, some to another To those whoare not interested in this mutter nn answer is sufficient, hut on the other hand those who observe hnd investigate for thomselves, the cause is obvious. Tho short crop and late sea son is Uie rontons rendered by many—Uiis has, in some measure, served to lessen as a natural consequence, the receipts of cotton this season by tho Rail Rnad, but tlint is not the principal cause. Ask that class nf the community who have patronized the Rnad this season, and upon whom alone it is dependent and must depend for its support, and the question will be nnswered to nmnn.t From the Merchant to the Planter, down to the Healer in poultry—we hear the cry nf high freights, high freights—this is the principal cause why there is no more cotton brought down the Rail Road this season. This tax upon the pro< duce nnd consumption ofthe country in times like the present, cannot be sustained and will be a deadly stroke upon the interest aud trade of Savannah. The increase of business nf the last season, which the current circumstances forced upon Savannah, through this new avenue of commerce, is nlrondy diverted nnd is receed- ing into its old nnd established channel. Three- fourUis of the Planters who brought their pro duce In our market lost season for tho first time ure returning Again with their cotton to an inland market lessnccessnble, inconsequence ofthe ex cess of freights on the Central Rail Road, and justly too, becanso they can reach it with their waggons nt less cost, nnd realize ns much for their produce as hy transporting it to this place hy the Rail Read. The Plantar i\\ the vicinity of the Central Rail Road can send his cotton to Augusta, thence to Charleston by Rail Road, purchase ).:* supplies and return home at less ex pense than by transporting it on the Central Rail Road to Savannah, The question may ho asked, what are the high freightscomplained ofon the Central Rail Rond? I will not answeron every article, but will mention a few of the loading ones. A bale ofcotton of400 lbs. from station 12,(129tniles) freight $2; on ahhd. sugar of JOCXfftja. $7 50. On the Charleston and Hamburg Road, which is in length 136 miles, a hale of cotton weighing 400 ibs. at 25 cents per 100Ibs. $1 ?ahhd. sugar, of 1000 Ibs. at25 cents per 100 )hs. $2 50—less than one half of the freights on Uie Central Rail Road. Compare likewise with the freights or the Geor gia Road which is in operation 100 miles—a bale ofcotton, 400Ibs. at2ocents per 100Ibs. $1; hhd. sugar 1000Ibsjit25eta.per 100 Ibs. $250—nnda the same rate upon all articles that go by weight. These are facta that are indisputable, and to substantiate Uiein fully, I shall bring others in future. Now listen jo the rensous Resigned by the Com pany for this pxcess of freight—they tell us that they are hound to complete the road, and in or der ir. accomplish it they are compelled from ne cessity to incrcnse the rates of freight, and that the Road will he patronized at nil events. Ah I gentlemen, you are under a delusion—take care Uint you remain not too long so, for tho great interest you {represent. Hud not nature done every thing for your city, she would long since have mouldered into ruin aud decay. Pavsnnah expects much at your hands—her destiny is con fided to your kunrdlanship—she values not nt Uie present rate of dollars and cents, but upon the fn| ture.

Shipping Intelligence. PORT OF SAVANNAH,....NOV. 13,1840. Hoy to Quarrel/*—One of the most easy, the most common, most perfectly foolish things in the world is to quarrel, no matter with whom, man, woman nr child; or upon what pretence, provo cation, or occasion whatsoever. There is no kind of necessity in it, no monner of ure in it, and no upecica or degree of benefit to ba gained by it; and yet, strange as the factinny be, theologians quar rel, and politicians, lawyers, doctor* and princes quarrel, the Church quarrels, aud the State quar rels; nations nnd tribes, and corporations, men, women and children, dog* ana cats, birdsnmi beasts, quarrel abontall manner of things, and nil manner of occasions. If there is any thing in the world that will make a man feel bad, except pinching his fingers in the crock of a door, it is unquestionably n quarrel. No man ever fails to think less of himself after limn be did before one? it degrades liitn in his own eye* and in the eves of others and, what is worse, blunts his sen sibility ta disgrace on tha owe hand, and Increas es the power nf pnasionnte irritability nn the other, —The truth is, the more quietly and peaceably wo all get on, the better; llie belter for ourselves, tho baiter for our neighbors. In nine cases out of ten, the wisest course is, if a man cheulsynn, to quit dealing with him; if lie is abusive, amt his company; if he slanders you, take care tu live so that nobody will helieve him. No matter who he is, or how ho misuses yon, the wisest way is generally just to let him alune? for there is noUi- mg better than Uiis cool, calm, quiet way of deal ing with Uie wrongs we meet wiUi.
