KF Tlio Hon. T. B. Kura, Representative in . Congress from Georgia, arrived in town yester day morning, on his way to Washington. We learn that Mr. Kura’s detention has been owing to illness, he hmr’mg bnt recently recovered from the effects of a violent fever, contracted during tbe last election canvass, in Ware, Appling, and the adjacent -counties.

ADJOURNMENT of THE LEGISLATURE. The Legislature or Georgia adjourned on Wednesday last, at 11 o’clock, A. M. There were several impnrtnnt hills pnssrd during the last two days of Use session, but wo have not time nor room to notice them particularly this morning. The quarantine bill in relation to die citizens of Maine, passed the Senate by a vote of 35 to 31, after substituting an amendment offered .by Mr. Spencer. ofLiberty. We shall publish the bill na amendeJ imrem**:, Swt do not believe it will ever receive the signature of the Govern or. A bill to raise a tax for the political year 1641, was also passed. This-bill we understand, in creases the taxes uearly three fold over that of last year. The bill to repeal an act authorizing the Cen tral Bank to issue money, (passed in 1839) and tuakirig provision to redeem the hills of said Bank now in circulation, and a hill to provide for the continuation of the work on the Western and Atlantic Rail Rood, requiring the Central Bank to pay <weuty-five thousand dollars to wards the expenses thereof were also passed. The following gentlemen have been elected Directors ofabe Bank of Darien, on the part of the State, viz—C. II. Hopkins, E. O’Neill, N. J. McDonald, A. Lefils, J. Holmes, H. W. Hudnell.andd. M.

Was this due to the odour of saciity, or the action of cr sote? We find tbe following under date ‘’Frontiers ofTurky, October 24th,” in the Aflgemeing Zeitung, oftlie 5th instnnt. "Accounts from Constantinople say that infer motion had been received there from Alexandria- that Mehemet All had thrown himself entirely into the arms of France, und would submit, with out reserve, tq its decision. It is nflirmed, on the best authority, that it is not too late for Me hemet Ali, notwithstatidine the bad state of affairs, to enjoy iho advantage of the treaty of the 15th nf July, ir his submission is not delayed, for which France would evidently lie answerable. Tho loan contracted with Rothschild U designed for the partial redemption of the paper money which was issued, first to the sum of sixteen million* piasters, then forty millions, and lastly increased to one hundred millions, which is ul- ready 10 per cent below par at Constantinople.” The overland mail from Iijdia, with accounts from Bombay to the 1st October, and from Cal cutta to the *18th Sept, lias rather damped the spirit ofthe Stock Market to-day, as insurrection- ary movements nre reported in various provin< ces. Tbe accounts from China, to the 3d July, throw some light on the intentions ofthe British government in prosecuting the war in that quar ter. Instead, of taking possession of Canton os was expected, the expedition would fix itself on the Island of Chusan, midway between Can ton and Pekin, so as to threaten noth sides ofthe empire at onre. aud interrupt the Chinese trade effectually.

It led us now through n gateway or section of fence; then over tho furrows of ploughed land or pasture ground; noon we cross- e babbling, brow Vmg brook, end ponoVmted in to a forest ou the verge of which the gmva-ynrd was situated. The foilngo ofthe trees sent down upon us its accumulated moisture ns wc disturb ed tho branches by our contact; ami now und then n delayed leaf would coma wheeling into our faces' ns tlio slight western breeze frolicked through them. We hnd been cm route nearly an hour when wo nrrived at the grave, which was placed immediuto* ly under a huge beech ireo. Here wo halted; and. before proceeding to business, an accurate account was Utkeu of every square of turf which covered die grave, mid of every loose stone in its vicinity; some of which Imd probably been pul there on purpose. There is system nnd method in nil the sciences; nnd quite ns much in this dis integrating process as in any other. The ground was now broken just nt tho head of the grave, nnd ns each one of us plied the spado iu Ins turn, the necessary excavation was completed in a very- short time. The head of the coffin was then knocked off,and the subject was drawn out bodily toward ns. • De prnfundis clamori: hi* specific gravity is not so great ns l thought it.’ exclaimed Torn, ns he Immled up the body. Tire excavation was then filled up, and every thing replaced wife the most scrupulous care in its original order.

Onr despatch had been so great, that not more than twenty minutes had elapsed since tva first came on tho giouud. At tliis moment tire disc of tire moon was rolled up from behind tho cincture of clouds that had hitherto concealed it, and poured a flood of silvery radiance over the the white tomb stones and through tho dusky trees- prndrtcing a contrast of lightandabudojaltogctli. er indescribable. Near us the open greensward with its million* of drops of distilled moisture looked liko the spangled drapery you have seen thrown over some sacred altar; while the clns- teriug groups of tho lull and graceful forest-trees hard by, with the rich moonlight streaming down here und there as through a chequered arbor, might bo aptly compared to the springing col and tesaelated pavement ofa superb Gothic 07 We loans that Col.

The Editor of the St. Aagcstics Jfers, from . whom we derive this information, is disposed to be witty at tho expense, both ofthe Government and of Col. Twiggs.

A RESURRECTION. " Icb erzthle eitie Bcgebenhcil, die viclen cUublicli scheinen wird, und von der Icb groten Tl.eiU sellisiAugenzeupe war." Dw Geristincktr ran Schiller, Rkader! if you do not know whatthm menus* I advise yon, by all means, to study German. You will derive more satisfaction from it than fftun any other living language. But do not im agine that because brtd means bread, nnd teein means trine, it is nn easy language to lenrn; it has more than foot hundred thousand words; some of them very strange to behold; and you may make ns many mors as you please by placing those already made iu juxtaposition. I am extremely fond ofsome text like the nbove; for in tire first place, it looks Addisonian and clas sic. and ha* a tendency to disarm criticism on ac. count of Us imposing nppearanre; and, secondly, it is subnmbra a shadow of coming events, and conveys to you a nice foretaste of all that is to fol. low. The great Burke once said that Ire 4 would rath er be buried iu the south-west comer ofa coun try eh-irch-yard than in Westminister Abbey.' There is so much poetry and truth in this expres sion, that wo are compelled to believe he bad a great horror of being disinterred in order to satis, fy tliedemands either ofscience or of curiosity. Ho evidently wished to remain undisturbed where lire evening sun might fall upou the green roofof his narrow resting place. For inyown part, I must confess that when I see any one in< different to these things, I cannot refrain from thinking flint* Ire is no better than lie should be. My owu sentiments on this subject have become convictions through the agency of an incident which I am going to relate; and, if any ofthe inhab itants of the treat village of Dresden, in the State of New-York, should rend this account, they will recognize tire uio*t important features of an oc currence which distributed their quiet not a hun dred years ago. Tire town of Dresden is prettily situated on the left batik ofthe strait or outlet through which tire nurplns waters ofthe Crooked Lake are discharg ed into thcSeueca Lake. This Inst is as pretty a sheet of water ns you would wish to see your face or a fish in. Its shores, are in s^me places, cul tivated to tire water’s edge; while in others, dark green belts of woodlund advance to its very mar gin, and hero and (hero a fringe of hawthorn wild-briar, Ac., kisses tire sleeping water; which through some siugnlurngency, absolutely refuses to bo congealed by winter's cold: so that like a benutilul mirror of truth, it always reflects whnt is going nn above, beneath, or ou the surface. Ifthe sky is azure, there you have it! another firmament of blue; if red, Ureni; blushes like a maiden; and, if die moon abimre bright, look on tire.lako, and you can sec the very spokes in her chariot wheels. I wot sitting one night in tlio study of Dr. B- , when Tom McAuley, who was a stud- dentofutedlcine, with a queer mixture of clever ness, boiihommie and cockueyisin, dashed into tire room announcing whnt he styled a glorious chance for a resurrection. B who was an enthusiast in his profession, and an old hand at these things,threw * Bell’s Anatomy* on the floor und jumped on his foot as lie exclaimed ; 4 You mean the bwaimaii who was drowned yesterday; limns cathedral. A fragmcnLof forest glade, about one hundred and fifty yards from us, was thrown into a dee’p shadow; nnd from'this spot we soon discovered that we were watched—for click, clack,,flash, whiz, hang, nnd a rifle ball whistled pnst us mid lodged in the beech-tree just over our heads, the concus sion scattering the big globe* of water upon us unholy nnd scandulon* resurrectionists. Tho in terest of lire adyeutiire was now evidently on the increase, and I was in a fair way of finding that excitement which 1 came in quest of. As for danger, I was disposed to regard it as a just nnd natural consequence of our daring and nefarious enterprise, and quite commensurate with its ras cality. Ifthe bullet had passed though me, I could not have upbraided tho one that sent ii.— As you may suppose, in lees time than youconld say ‘Jack Robinson,’ we were off for the lake, along tho shore of which we proposed to proceed to the dissecting room. Arriving there, wo found that the greensward terminated abruptly iu a bank shelving steeply some ten or twelve feet to the margin of tire lake, \vhich wus not, in that place, more than four feet wide. I stood by on the very crest of the bank to receive lire body from Tom I lowered it away ns gently «s possible, but the ground, composed partly of rolled pebble*, yiclJ- ed to my pressure—I fell—the old chap came rolling after ine, and his dead weight was near crushing me in transitu. • bterniturinfelix!' cried Tom from the top of the bank, ‘el Hu tret mnrirp; nm’—ugh—pug!: — oiah—i Severn! slaps • in quick succes sion from an unknown band, knocked tho vowel sounds of poor Tom into something like the n- hove consoncntial arrangement, and tire next in stant the unlucky fellow came tumbling down the bank liend-foremast. I now found myself confronted with the stranger, who used hi* ut most endeavor* to unmask me. I wa* much vex ed at our bad success, and toy blood wns a little up’ attire unfavorable aspect affairs bad taken. Wo were most essentially minus, and I was not long in resolving to show up some interesting results by resorting to a new controlling influ ence. It was high time to 'fix prolonge for flank firing,’ so I delivered the stranger intohi* chops a blow—another, and another, which diddled him; and lie measured fne feet eleven inches or so on tire pure silex. I verily believe I could at that moment have given u quietus-to haifa dozen more such fellow*, und if they had been near me, I should have attempted it a* a mutter of course. I wa* fairly ‘in for it:’ the plot-had thickened so fast that if lire devil bimeelfhad stood before lire, it would havo created no additional surprise. The interest of tire affair seemed now io hove ntlained its climax. As for my own excitement, it had gone on increasing in a geometrical pro gression, nnd it was raised to tho ti—1—1 degree. I bud now a brief moment to loolr about me; and—heavens!—what were my sensations when, instend of tire remains of tho boatman, I saw be fore mo those of a lovely female!—-notwithstand ing hi* assurances, tho heedless Tom had curried us to lire wrong grave. Sire had fallen so that her face was turned upward: the hack of her head was in the wuter,nnd reposed upon some quartz pebbles which sparkled in tire bod of tho luke. Her grave-clothes, which were of some linen fa bric of delicate texture, were much discomposed and soiled; nnd, being partially unrolled from her person, exposed a pnrt of her bosom. The tan gled tresses of her dark hair were wuving to nnd fro liko sen-grasses in tire clear water os lire waves rolled up and rccnedud in their geiitlo undula tions—oh!—wlwt a picture! There she Jay with her placid features as pure, ns bright, ns cold, nnd os beautifiil a* an Arctic moon when she shine* upon tho snows and ices of Greenland. Old I thought if that breast were only animated by a single spark ol* living fire, how eloquently jvould .40 ploetf for protection agahtet Web mi (belli _ linage! How would that modesty Milch is Wrong- ar than lift, which looks to tlio grnvo a* to aomo holy sanctuary, urge its heaven-inspired appeal to lie respected! Atid Ifan informing soul could again occupy that prostrate tciremnut, with wlmt utter loathing would rite look upon oUr folly. Quick ns the lightning that rolls by night along the pathway'of tlio weary traveller, • and oon, founds his vision, did tlioin and many other re. flections rush In 'wild*chaos ‘thrdugh tny mind, aud, for tho llioo, *tuy ’predominant,feeling wna one of cronsCvouy humiliation‘end oven of deg- rndnilon. I Would have given half a year’s pay, to see that girl mtugly coffined again. Our *itu , j aiio*4)cc:miemore ami more critical—every mo-; ment tva* precious, and three years iu the peni tentiary might bn tire consequence of ourdeiny. B—, wire luttl hi* wits about him all till* thno, composed the shroud andcccntly as possible; took up the precious burden in Ins arms, and beckon ed to ns to follow. Tom bad, by tbi* time, pick ed himself up ami stood gazing at tho scene iu imito surprise. Tho stranger also showed signs of recovery when \v« led tho spot. The horso wns'crapping tho herbage near by, nnd wa* left to shift for himself. B Imd resolved ill hi* own mind that we should take the body to tire dissecting room, get to our beds ns soon as pos sible, and, on tbe following night, or|ns soon there after at practicable, place tire body where it could bo recovered by its friends. Why it was not left where it hnd foliation lire shore of tire luke, I do not know; but we had littlo time for thought. It may bo well to describe to you tho dissect ing room. This was a species of colt nr hypo, gouin, situated on lire tire western shore of tire straiut which connected tire two lakes. This stream Imd worn itself n bod, leaving on cither side precipitous bnhk'aof rock nearly one hun dred feet high,composed of urgilluccousslato rest ing upon compact enrbouatu of lime—veined |rero and these with gneiss and mica-slate. The cellor cavern iu question wns not far below tho top of lire precipice. It Imd beeu mudu by simply de taching several successive strata of slate, aud al lowing them to slide into tho bed ofthe torrent— tho excavation thus formed was covered over with tlio trunks and branches of trees, after which n coaling uf moss, dry leaves nnd decayed shrubbery wns cast over nil. Tho room was entered through a wicker door inserted iu olio of tho lower corners to which you were conducted by a winding pathway. !)• who wus a great tinker, had rendered tire place ns secure as tire robbers’ cave iu Gil BIuss. It wns soiiigeninnsly arranged, nnd its wildness Imrmo oized so well with the adjacent solitude, that the nicest observation would not have detected any uncommon appearance in that vicinity. If one could set aside all idea ofthe uses to which tires pot wns appropriated, it might be considered u grotto pretty enough for n Naiad to dwell in. When we arrived there, the moon was riding high in the heavens—her rays reached nearly to the bot tom of the abyss, thriving into strong relief the jutting spur* and cliffs, riddle all around you might see chrystalsof sulphate of strontian,'gypsum nnd quartz, twinkling nnd gleaming into intense brightness. It wa* here tlmtwe left our charge, proposing to return nn tire morrow night. Great nnd peculiarly social was the fermenta tion in town tho next day. The poor horse wus seized aud convicted ; but not so with his own er, who wns the student thnt declined going with us. The brother of tire nccuscd testified thnt, to tire best of bis knowledge, he had not left his room at nil during lire night. Tire footsteps at tire grave.were carefully measured nnd compar ed with tire pedal dimensions of Tom und Dr. B , but their overshoes saved them. As for myself, I do not know that I was suspected. The parties concerned in this transaction were so closely watched thnt it was not possible for them to \ isit the distecting room, until tire third night after the occurrence detailed above. It wasnenr tire hour of midnight when we nil as sembled nnd repaired to thecuvcrn. The posi tion of it was indicated by a blasted oak, tire gi gantic arms of which, after soi 'c searching, we could at least discern projecting a faint outline against a sky chnrged with clouds of almost inky blackness. Render! have you ever beeu on the Mexican Gulf? If so, you may have heard on a. perfectly tranquil morning before n Sep tember gale, n distant sound of surging billow*. At one moment loud, hnrsh nnd fearful, in tire next whispering ns softly us n summer breezo in apiue forest. Such was lire Inflow roar and such tire lulling sound that the rushing torrent sent tip from its rocky bed far below us, a* tire nislit wind rolled in fitful nnd threatening gusts through tire deepening gloom. A solitary screcli- owl made night horrible from an opposite cliff; while a whip-poor-will uttered its plaintive note iu singular contrast. Every tiling was in per fect harmony: time, place, circumstance, and my own feelings. But it was a harmony of hor ror*! Aftersoiire difficulty we descended to the cavern, and, grouping about in daikness, I placed my baud upon that icy face !—What a thrill rush ed through mo at that instant. I soon recovered myself, however. We nojw removed the body, nnd conveyed it to the luke in tho immediate neighborhood of a farm-house, from which wo knew it would be Observed in the morning. We left it there moored hy means of a lurge stone in some two feet of water. About this time the day broke; tire clouds were rolled away from tire heavens, tire bushed wind was ns soft and iis gentle a* a sister's kiss, anil soon every thing stood revealed in lire blessed light of morning, It was like Mielmel Angelo’s painting oftlie rising of the sun, where tho blue skies, and seas, tire green shores, nnd the white, temple* of Greece seem just to have thrown the livery of night. Wlreu I saw tire yesty wnves sporting with and purifying the stained shroud or that lovely girl, I experienced a fceliogofsatisfac tion to which I had been n stranger for some days. On a morning in tho next spring nfter these occurrences, ns an idle angler wn* lounging along tire banks ofthe strait, Ire felt his left leg sinking under him. Ho endeavored to recover himself with Iris right leg, but that sunk too; and the attraction of gravitation soon launched him into tho floor pf tho dissecting room. On looking about Iio saw some hieroglyphics and Chinest; characters which Tom imd, in former times, made upon tho walls, with some red fluid* used for injecting veins, und naturally concluded be wo* in the den of a necromancer or some worse place. Iio soon mode tire best ofliis way out, and related Iris adventure, which brought many admiring crowds to look nt tho curious cavern. I *poak lire truth, dear render, when I assure you tiiut if you take the trouble to go there you may see tire same spot.
