(From Horace Suiih's ••Oliver CromtrcU.") TbaJfittg himself, attired as usual inn plain gnwtTsable velvet, wearing no weapon but an •orminry walking-sword, mid currying in his right •tufid, together with his stuff, the dnrk-plnmed leaver ivhid&e had doffed on entering, stalked coolly/tiij^p House; the Palsgrave following slow lyns it seemed with a half timed nud reluctate slop. Still all was silence; so pro- .found, that save the heavy footseps of the mon archy lint a sound could be perceived, unless it were when from without some wenpon-clang wo* heard, or some rode threat or imprecation was muttered iu the antechamber by the desperate attendant* of a Langford or it Dighy. The face of Charles, grave and even sorrow ful by nature, was something paler than usual, but with that sort of paleness which conveys no thought uf cowardice or trembling, but of im movable resolve. His month was firmly closed, but not compressed, nor showing augbt of effort; his eye,calm,rearebing, cold, butkeennud hard -ns iron; his nostril only of his fenturesgave token of-emotion, fc orof any feeling hotter than deter mination; for it was diluted wide, and slightly Quivering. Yet was his hand steady mb the col* 1 — s which upheld the' roof above him, nnd his s, now dial lie stood among bis lieges—bow er it had hnen irregular nuu hasty ere he en tered— wasmeasured. long, nud eqtinl, A*the King advanced along the floor, he turn ed bet head from side to side, perusing with de liberate and steady glnneu the lineaments o| eve ry member whom be passed; and if when nt a distance not one ejithna sought him, so when ho now stood close beside them notone eye avoided him- Ench t as Charles came into his line of di rect vision, met his hard gaze with an unbleuch- TIIANKSGIV1NG, It becomes nations and communities, as well as individuals, to return thanks to the Disposer of events for his mercies at stated intervals, and certninly no community has more cause for fer- eutgrntiiude that; that composed of the people of this city. While tho whole country has been inundated with rain, nud consequently afflicted with fatal diseases, Savannah has escaped with "even less than her ordinary amount of autumnal dis ease, and such of these ns have occurred Jiave been less than usually fatal. While accidents nnd disasters have laid some ofour sister cities in mourning, nnd even pros- tinted one of them to the dust, our beautiful little city has escaped any general cause of mourning and sorrow, and Iter tall spires still rear their points towards heaven. Thanks, then, to ( tbe Almighty God of the Uni verse, who has thus watclred over us in his kind ness and his mercy. Let every citizen, whether professing Christian or not, feel this day of Thanksgiving in his heart. Let him review the mercies of the past year, and the knowledge that he has been wntched over nnd preserved from ten thousand unseen dangers, will excite those fadings of joy and gratitude with which the day should be celebrated—aud while we meet our friends at the social board, and exchange mutual congratulations and heart-offerings to the munifi cent dispenser of such bounties, let us not forget the poor aud the needy, and the sick and the suffering. This is indeed the winter of foeirdi*- conteut—without any poetical fiction, bat literal- They are, many of them, not only with, out the good things which surround us, but even the necessaries of life—they have no friends— no money—no home, nnd too many of them no clothes and no food, aud wane than all, ueftte to warm their shrivlled limbs. Let each oue surrounded with comforts place himself in their situation for five minute*, and then do as he would be done by; send a mite to those two noble nnd unostentatious charities, the Widow’s and the Female Assistance societies i,rf and anloosiag brow; for not one man-even _ lhey cloUnj |ho nak , dand f d th h of these the most devoted to his will, of those who ot ... these the most devoted to his will, of those who would have nerved him at that moment, whouf- terwards did serve him with their whole hearts and lives—but was disgusted, angered, full ofdeep Borrow, ulnraet to despair. Little there was, however, of the stronger nnd iwflo atorruy passions painted upon the brows of those who sat thus fearlessly braving tho temper of a king whose wrath was not less last ing and vindictive thau it was hot and sudden. The expression that prevailed most largely was of mingled aspect, half pity, hnlf defiunce. But when the tyrant—for font action, if that only, justified the title—approached tho seat of Crom well, (who wus perhaps at that day scarcely known by numeto the prond sovereign,) and his glance fell upon those grim ungainly feature*, then Ardenne witucssed—for his eye was still attracted, why he knew not, with a strange sense of fascination toward the Puritan—then Ardenne witnessed tliut which in after times he often nail ed to tniud, and never without awe and wonder —a conflict of eye; couutenuuce, and bearing, between those men, so eminently thrown toge ther and blended in their sphere* of good or <±\W action. The glance of Charles, when first it fed upon the coarse and most iinpleusiiig lineaments of Oliver, was instantly averted,but averted merely os men ever turn tho eye away from objeou na turally hateful or unseemly. At that point of time the face of Cromwell was as tranquil, as ini- movable as that ofhis great future rival; but the tranquillity was no 1<*m different than is the still* ness of a hushed volcano nnd the peaceful calm of heaven. The swotlen and corded veins u pon the temple, (lie eyebrows lowered aud coutorted. the bull* gleaming beneath them with a fixed altd baleful light, the. nostril .rigidly-distended, and the lips pressed so lighly that they alone of his whole aspect were of u livid whiteness. Era Edgar had foe time to think, had there It «tiy matter yet for thought, tho eye of ■-’-.s stole back, half tinlidly as it appeared, I that tiger-like mid glaring face. Then. .... .. ..tet the sinister mid ominous stare of fierce defiance, it brightened also, vivid and keen, and with n fulcou-Iiko aud noble splendour. For some short space they gazed—those two undisciplined and haughty spirits—into each oth er's very soul*—mutually, as it seemed, conscious at a glance ofirremediahle and desperate hostility. The King's look, quiet, although high and angry, and most tiuuUernbly proud—Cromwell’s, sarcas tic, bitter, furious, and determined, and withal sc ■ tvagely triumphant, so mirthful in its dire nm Uguity, that Ardenne thought lie never had beheld a wjtuUmmuce *o fiendishly expressive.

We do not pretend to charge till this loss upon the Central Batik. For instance, she is not chnrg- aide with the depreciation of the Bunk of Dari en Notes, nor the inability to collect the long list of old bonds nnd notes, of which we presume nearly nil havo been collected thnt ever will be collected. But we are confident that we do the Bank no injustice when we say, that she will ntnke a clear loss in her loans of a half million of dollnrs. When the number or had nnd ficticious debts is considered in connexion with the nu merous causes which will operate to • prevent collections, we cannot think we have gone a atep beyond the truth in substituting for the $1,809,- 307 of discounted poles, $1,300,000. The absolutely available resources of a Biink are the means which she can commund, and the resources of the Central Bunk, iticusured by this rule, will exhibit u lamentable falling off.

K7*The absence of Senators elected by the State Righs' Party of Georgia to represent their trne interests in the Legislature, has thus far pre vented the election ofa U. S. Senator. It may be that these absentees who are paid by the people for attending to their business, ntay what? have something of their own to attend to more important than the public service. If they have, they should resign their seats to others who can be preaeuttorepresent the true interests oftho State. DT Governor McDonald has issued his Pro clamation, offering a reward of One Hundred and Fifty Dollara for the apprehension and delivery to the Sheriff or Jailor of Bibb County, of Daniel Pocket, who murdered a man by the name of Absalom. Lyles, near Macon on ihe 6th instant. Pocket is described os about 25 or 27 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, rather loose set, thin visage, sandy hair, and light grey or blue eyes. CENTRAL BANK OF GEORGIA. It will be remembered that the policy of invest- iugtbe State Rinds in the different Ranking In- atitiithnis effort -Stale paying an interest Trout year to year of 8 per tent, was changed to the Central Dank system which requires the rale of 8 pur cent stock, in order to lend out to interest ed individuals foe proceeds of Utese snlesatfi per cent, with the imminent risk superadded of ne ver receiving back into the Treasury of foe State more titan from 50 to 75 per cent of foe principle. By foe Bunk Report, published in our yester day's paper, its liabilities are ntated at $3,600,105 —of which, the circulation on the 2d inst. was $p02,336. The resources requisite to balance these liabilities are given as follo ws: Various Bank Slocks, $706,100 00 Notes, Bonds, Ac. (most of them ? reraning many years, J Brunswick Cnitul a * $2,029,000 Now her cnpital stock on the 2nd inst. was by the report $930,561, which deducted from the a- bove sum,shows a difference ofabout $1,099,000, the absence of which isjustly chargeable upon the vice of a system which has interrupted the Stale taxation for foe last five years past—during foe whole, or a pnrt of which time, the receipts into the vaults of tbe Bank have not equalled the State appropriations. The result of all this is, that a Bill has just been introduced into foe Legis lature, (necessary enough it is true, but burden some) laying a per caput tax on the many inhab itants'of the State, in order to replace the trn- sure squandered tipnu the speculating pew. If foe Legislature does notat once, arrest the rale of the State Stocks, (whichore still the sheet anchor of her credit) we shallsoonbe called upon to deb it foe Central Bank with the absorption of about $700,000 more of foe public monies, the primary cause of all which, is the stupid and absurd policy of lending the public funds to speculators nud blood suckers. Iffoe State trill depreciate the notes of her own Bank, how much better would it have been, iu the place of throwing $750,000 away on the spe culators, to apply foiN sum to foe completion of the State Road for which an appropriation is now imperatively demanded. And now it is further proposed to sell out our 8 per cent Stocks for Not iu order to raise fond* for that noble enterprise, foe Western A Atlantic Rail Road, but In order to remedy foe folly of foe loaning policy pursued by the Central Bank. In endeavouring to make n shrewd guess at the available means of the Bank, we have uot been disposed to charge it with morn sins thau should properly be laid at its door, and ifthe Legislature would at once order the Bank to wind up its con cern* os it should do,aud direct a careful examin ation of the paper held by the Bank; we risk noth ing iu the asfertion. font more money will be found to have been sunk in foe gloont and dark ness of its bottomless vaults, than any one has ever anticipated. The immorality and corruption of foe plan o^. lending money nominally to Counties, but iu re. ality to a few individuals, many of whom will pay nt doomsday, might employ our pen an honr nr two more, but we have said already more than we had designed to ny. We hope that all those who Are anxious to see the finances of the Slate redeemed from their present disgraceful condi tion, will begin to agitate this matter, and keep on agitating it. What the Legislature may do, we know not; but, if it does its duty, it will close foe doors of the monster forthwith. If foe State of Georgia could be made aware of all the wounds inflicted on her prosperity by this Central Bank she would crush it instantly, and its requiem would he the execrations and groans of an indignant people. ritOR OUH CORRESPONDENT. MILLF.DGEVILLE, Nov. 20, 1640. Mr. Gordon, of Chatham, moved to take up the bill to make tho sessions of the Legislature biennial, end further moved that the bill lie.on foe table the balance of the session. Mr. Gordon maintained that the bill was radi cally wrong, inasmuch as it was written bioiinu* ally, and icust therefore mean (tries per year. . Mr. Spencer opposed the motion to lie on the table the balance of the session, anil without go ing into the merits of the hill would content him self wilts answering the objection mnde by the Senator from Chatham. First he maintained that the bill did not mean twice a year, because from the derivation of that word the Senate was not au thorised to come to the conclusion insisted ou by the Senator from Chatham. In the next plnce the rending uithg biBwiN construe itselfand show so clearly the intention of the bill that ho man con mistake the meaning of it; nud in the last place if the bill i* so defective font it cannot pass, it is unnecessary to murder it instanter, but it would be generous to the frienda of tho bill, and just toward* the bill itself,to allow its friends time to extricate the bill IVotn the difficulties in which it wns found. Thin difficulty was entirely unex pected. Mr. Jones supported the position taken by the Senator from Liberty. Mr. Echols tnovnd that the bill lie on the table for the prescut, which after some sparring be tween the Senators from Chatham and Liberty, nnd some “sharp shooting" as to the construction of words nnd sentences, the motion was carried to lie on foe table for foe present. This bill being disposed of, tbe bill to repeal the up propriatum ofsix thousand dollars to Frank lin College came up, which after some slight de bate was referred, on motion of Mr. Speucer, to a select committee. The Chair appointed Messrs. Spencer,Graves and Vincent. NOVEMBER 21. On motion of Mr. Cone, foe Senate re-cousid- ed the motion to refer the College hill, which was then taken up. The bill and amendments were then before the Sennta. Mr. Floyd moved to lay foe bill and amendments on the table the balance of the session. The motion was discussed iu a protracted man ner. Messrs. Echols, Dnnngan and Cone in fa vor of the bill, and Messrs. Graves, Miller, Jones and Spencer in opposition to the bill. The mo tion to lie on the table was lost, and the bill was passed.

Two weeks since, while on a visit to foe house of a respectable, long experienced physician in one of the Southern boundary towns In New-Hantp- shire, he gave me in substance foe following ac count, ns near os I can recollect. He was called, a week or two previous, to vis it a young female, I think, over twenty years of age, who was distressingly ill of n complaint of the iungs, laboring under great difficulty ofbreath- ing, winch hia discrimination led him at once to imputo to a long continued practice oCtigktdaeing— a practice which is slaying its thousands in our en lightened land. There was, in lua opinion, an adhesion of the lungs to the chest, nud a consequent inflammation which had proceeded to such a height that death was inevitable. Little or nothing could be done.

After an animated debate by Messrs. Gordon and Echols in favor or the motion, and Messrs. Floyd, Jones and Miller against it, a motion was made to adjourn which failed. Mr. Dawson then moved that foe Whig party leave the Senate, which motion was unanimously adopted; and THE CONSTITUTION WAS SAVED. The Van Buren party remained in statu qao until about half past three .o’clock. Finding themselves still “monarch of all they surveyed," they retired. NOVEMBER 24. Senate met at 9 o’clock. The jouritol was read, and Mr Miller having given notice, ac cordingly moved to reconsider »o much of foo ac tion ofyesterdny, as related to passing foe bill to repeal foe annual appropriation of six thousand dollars to Franklin College. Tbe motion wns discuased at length by Mr. Echols, in foe negative; and Messrs. Gordon, Jones, Floyd and Miller in the affimative. The motion was lost. Mr. Miller moved further to reconsider so much of foe notion ofyesterdny, as related to taking np the resolution* generally. This motion of course was debated veryvio* Jcntly.

Hi* speech was elo quent and feeling. Mr. Echols, of Walton, replied nt length—at great length. The substance of hit remark* wore, thothe wus not prepared to electa bank-man.

Mr. Gordon denied, partly, any con»pirncy, but avowed his anxiety to defeat the election ofa bank-man to the United States Senute. Mr. Graves followed Mr. Gordon,and inveigh led strongly against tho Harrison party for leaving them in foe “vocative"yesterday. Messrs. Cox, Keunon, Calhoun nnd Black shear followed still urging foe necessity of recon sideration. The motion was lost. Mr. Gordon then moved foot foe Senate taken recess of one hour. Mr. Jones moved that foe Senate take a recess until 3 o'clock. Carried. The object of the recess is to compromise foe difficulty into which foe Senate hus fallen. 1 have no doubt it will be effected, p.nd we shall now bring on (Jie election probably tu« first day of December.

From the N. O. Picayune. Noctua Gosspii.—Army Worm.—The natural history of tins devastator of foe cotton plant is as yet involved in much obscurity. Pliny makes no mention of the animal, although he ftirnisbe* a sa tisfactory description of the plant. As many of our renders take a lively interest in this depart ment of botany, we will give Pliny’s own words: "Moreover in the higher parts of Egypt which beud toward Arabia, there growethacertain shrub or bush carrying cotton, which some call Gosspi- nm, others Xylon, and foe linen thereof made they therefore cnIIXylina. This plant is but small, id britigeth forth n fruit resembling the bearded nut or filbert; in the inner shell at husk where of (called Bombyx) there hreakefo forth « cotton lik« unto down, so easy to be spun; and there it no flax in foe world comparable to it for white ness and softness. Of this cotton foe Eg yp to itt priests wear wont to ware their surplices, ond they took a singular delight therein." Among the tnanyenemies of the cotton plant fo«-Noetuti GosapfHtohfsa 'Conspicuous rank.— More frequently do we .find the army worm in tribes font) sol ita ry. A respectable plnuter inform ed ji», thnt some twenty years since the insect vis ited his plantation and destroyed in 48 hours the cotton plauta which occupied 200 acres of land, Immediately nfter the devastations committed up on his fields he noticed a body of from 40 to CO feet in length, resembling a large ship’s cable rolling on the ground, toward* n neighboring plantation; onapprouchitig it he discovered that it was com posed of a living mass of army worms. The general appearance of the army worm ha*been faithfully described by Dr. Chisholm: A single line ofwnite runs down the whole length of the hack, aud a double line of Ihe same co oi parallel to this runs down each side; tho iqtemte dinte spaces of the buck nnd sides are of n fine glossy black, covered with soft down; the holly is yellow, inclining to while, nnd the nspjratory organs are in number double font of file rings com posing the body, viz. twenty. The head is armed with two lateral corneous jaws,constituting a cut ting forceps of most rnpucious and destructive power." This insect is supplied with food b several different plants, and it tins been ohservec that it give* u decided preference to the Parthen nun Hysterophorus. The change bf tho Chenille into the ptipn state occurs within the fold ofthelenft the mouth is small, of n light greyislt chocolate color, nnd less than onB inch in length front the heud to tbn ex tremities of the wings. The whole life orthe in sect, according to Dr. Chisholm, including nil its transformations from the ovum to file death oftho raofii, is about twenty seven days'. We, howev er, incline Ui think that foe several etaget of this animal s existence uio much more brief. Tim specimen's furnished ut by nut country friends enabled il* to observe the transformation from Chenille to Chrysalis; the change from the latter state to moth never exceeded six days ;• in those reported by Dr, Chisholm nine da vs elapsed < It has been remarked that those insects, (not unlike the Aslutio cholera in ita progress,) after having devoured the lives of tho cotton plants on G.
