also.
SAVANNAH, GA.
TUESDAY NOitNUQ, JANUARY 83, 1810.
fty- We congratulate our fellow-citixcns on the
result of tiro public meeting yesterday, some
account of which will be found in our columns.
Wc know of no measure more judicious and advis
able under the circumstances, more better calcu
lated to bring back a rich return to this city.
Melancholy Casualty.—On Wednesday last,
Mr. Hombb V. Mobbl, of Effingham coun
ty, while uut hunting accidentally fell while as
cending a hill, ond roused the discharge of his
gun, which killed him instantly. Air. AI. was a
member of the Irish Jasper Greens during the
whole time they were lu Mexico, and eras also
one of the Texans taken ucar Santa Fc, and was
for a long time confined in tiro Castle of Perote.
OO-Thc ship Sargh Parker, McLachlax, which
salledTrom Liverpool for this port on the 96th ult.
wasdrivenashoreouthe TIth.on thecoastof Maine,
four miles south of Ncw-Castle, and bilged with the
iossofrutldcr,bow-sprit,foremast,&r. Crew saved,
but the vessel expected to be a total wreck. Her
cargo consisted of 161 tens Rail-Road Iron, 9A0
tons Salt, Ate. The Rail-Road Iron was for the
State Road.
We refer to Air. Cooraa’s advertisement
of the Mexsotint Eneravlng of the first reformers,
presenting their protest at the Diet of Spires.
SxLKCTAIuste.—We are indebted to Air. T. T.
Wilmot for several admired songs, piece* for the
piano, lie., of which he has always on hand at his
store a most judicious selection. Among these
are the May Queen, An impromptu on the Joy
Gieen, The Prinme Ogla’s tValtxe, for., lie., Tee
Dombyaml Son QmdriUe, Ate. foe., foe.
09- Mr. J. J. Hkaly has issued a Circular to
the Stockholders of the “ IVaeUngtan fo iVrie Or
leant Wegropkic Ctmponyproposing to lease
the whole line for a term of three or five years, and
guaranteeing 7 per cent, on the whole capital in-
cd. Air. IPs. plan comtemplate* keeping a.
police on the line large enough to insure that it
shall never be interrupted during more than six
hours at any one time. He has shown by this
proposition perfect confidence in the ultimate sue-
1 of the 8outhcm Line, and as individual en
terprise is apt to effect more than corporations un
der the same circumstances, we suppose that his
proposition wilfrt least receive the careful con
sideration of those interested.
Public Meeting.
In pursuance of a resolution of Council and a
proclamation of his Honor, firo Alayor, a meeting
of thecitlxens of Savannah was held at tiro Ex.
change Long Room, on Alonday, 92d Inst., at 19
o'clock M., for thopurpose of taking into consider
ation the application of the South-Western Rail-
Road Company to the Corporation of Savannah,
"to make a present subscription of $150,000, in-
stead of the subscription of $950,000 in Rail-Road
stock as voted by tiro people of Savannah—provid
ed? per cent Bonds of the city of Savannah can be
wed (and be only used) for the purchase of iron
rails." The meeting was organised by calling
his Honor, Dr. Wayxb, to the Chair, and appoint

Upon motion of. Solomon Cohen, Esq., who
briefly stated the object of the meeting, the Secre
tary was directed to read the report of the Finance
Committee of the City Council, upon the subject-
matter of the call for the meeting, submitted to

Dr. Abnold thereupon offered the following
resolutions, which were seconded by CoL Josxrtt
W. Jackson, and passed by the almost unani
mous vote of the meeting t
Reeotved, That the Mayor and Aldermen of the
City be and they are hereby authorised and re
quested to make a present subscription to the stock
of Ute South’Western Rail-Road Company of
$150,000 in lieu of the subscription heretofore
promised—provided,
1. That the subneription bo payable In Bonds of
tho City, bearing 7 per cent Interest, payable half
rr 1 *-. those Bonds can be used to buy Iron for
the fiist 50 miles of the South-Western Rail-Road,
and be ouly used for that purpose.
3. That the city retain a lien on tiro Iron until
the Rnad shall be ready for its reception. On the

This worthy young man was also turned out of
the Church for the same cause, Ute pious Pastor of
the Church remarking, “that he lutd no more use

Societies, than the Devil hod for a Bible” !! Like

Constitution of North-Carolina, so as to secure Uie
right of equal suffrage to all the citixens of that
State, pasned its second reading in the House of
Commons by a vote of 75 to 26. Under the Con
stitution as it exist at prroent, the general suffrage
principle prevails in voting for members of the
lower House, but a property qualification is neces
sary to vote for members of the Senile. Tills cre
ates an invidious distinction between the voters,
and as tho voles of the State appears to be against
it, the bill hi question to do it away, will proba*
bly become a law.
Kkntucky Lboislatubk.—^Quite an Interesting
debate took place in Uie State Senate on the 9th
Inst, on a motion to set apart a day tochoosea U.
States Senator. Mr. Bbuck paid a high trib
ute to Hknby Clay, and demanded his return to
the Senate. Tiro Senate appointed Uro first day
of Febuary as the day of election. Tire emancipa
tion question is also much agitated in both Houses.
Biennial Smsions.—The Federal Union, we
suppose, may be regarded as the organ of Gov.
Towns, as the Washington Union is of Mr. Polk.
Tiro latter speaks ex cuUiedra about the meridian
of Washington and not unfrcqucntly shadows
forth “coining events.” If the same be true in
regard to Uro movements of the “powers that be”
about MiUedgeville, as given out in a late article
in the Federal Union, we may look for an effort
to be made,probably at the next session, to restore
the old law requiring an annual meeting of Uro
Legislature. Biennial Sessions do not suit our
cotemporary, nnd particularly just at this time,
as he thinks that if Uro Legislature were now in
session, it might accomplish much good by imi*
filling the example of South Carolina and some
other states in reference to the Wilmot Proviso.
If the Editor is really alarmed and Uiinks that the
paasage of resolutions is indespeusable to our safe
ty, why not move to have an extra Seteion of the
Legislature called ? As one of tho sentinels on
the watch-tower, looking out from the Capitol of
the State, it is his duty to apprize the public of
the approach of the enemy, and to make such
suggestions for our defence and safety as prudence
would dictate. There should be no felse alarms
however; and as a fair test of Uie genuineneu of
pur coteinparary’s fears, we submit the following:
If he recommends an extra Seteion, it wiy then be
evident, in tho language of honest Sancho Pan
ea, that the Editor really “Is in great bodily fear;”
and if he docs not, the public will be driven to the
conclusion that, like the redoubtable master of
that simple Squire on another occasion, he is dis
posed to magnify the dangers with which we are
unvironed—»o take “wind-mills” for “giants,”
and a funeral procession of inoffensive “monks”
for “an army with banners,"all with a view to in
dulge in the heroics and to have a little bit of a
crisis by way of variety. 8peak out, good friend
of the Union. You have been di*cant ing for some
time upon tiro threatening aspect of affairs and
abusing the Southern Whigs who, trusting in
Gen* Taylor, have not cried wolf! wolf! as of
ten os Democratic agitators have* If the danger
be imminent, if it overhangs Uro South like the
dnrk storm cloud, threatening every mument to
discharge its destructive bolts upon us, the peo
ple should be informed of it, (for Uicy do not
know it yet) and measures be taken forthwiUi for
our common safety.

WASHINGTON CITY, MN. 18,1819.
The proceedings in the Senate to-day have been
in relation to private billa of no gcnctal interest.
In the House the first business in order was Ute
report of the Printing Committee to print 1,000
copies extra of the report of Topographical Engi
neers with plans for the Improvement of the Har
bour of Baffklo, which had bad about half a dozen
speeches made upon it previously, although the
actual expense will be under ten dollars. Air.
Toombs took occasion to make some remarks in
opposition to the spirit of extravagance which he
said was exhibited by the monstrous quantities of
extra copies whkh were ordered to be printed.
He laid tiro blame of this on the printing Commit
tee which he contended had always reported in
favor of these large extra numbers. He also
complained of the quality of the work performed
by the Congressional printcrawhich he maintained
inferior to what it ought to be. This speech
brought up Mr. Henlky of Indiana, one of the
Committee on Printing, who defended both the
Committee and the Printers. He said tho lault—
if fault there were—in the matter of extra num
bers ordered and whenever the House showed a
disposition to retrench in this respect, they would
find the Printing Committee always ready to go
as far as the farthest. As to the contract system
he maintained that it worked well—better than
could have been expected for a commencement,
and be lutd no doubt that if persisted in, it would
prove itself fer superior to the old system, besides
putting an end to the system of bringing Editors
to the Scat of Government to establish official or
gans and then support them by paying an extra
vagrant price for the public printing. He con
trasted too the prices which were paid under the
contract with what the same amount of work
would have cost had it been performed at the
rates paid either to Aleaars- Ritchie It Haiss or
Gales It Seaton—in the one case he said U
would have cost three times as much and in the
other four times.
These speeches having been made,* a motion
as made that tiro whole subject be laid on the
table, wldcb was negatived on a vote by ayes and
and tiro resolution ordering tiro extra oopies
was adopted.
The House then went into Committoo of the
Whole on the General Appropriation Bill, on
which they were engaged for two hours, making
considerable progress,in it. The only amend
ment of any importance, (and that was certainly
one of great importance,) was one proposed by
Mr. Sawyer, of Ohio, providing that it should bo
the duty of the Secretory of the Treasury, and he
was thereby requested to give An order abolishing
flogging in the Navy, which was adopted on a di
vision by 79 to 37. The place however, in which
this provision has been inserted, is certainly a
most incongruous one. Ouly think of the inser
tion of a provision against Hogging in the Navy
as an appendix to an appropriation for tiro salary
of the Secretary of the Navy ! It is most prepos
terous. There arc, and will continue to be, many
diverse opinions on the question of the practica
bility of dispensing with flogging in tiro Navy,
but I should think there could not be trucb
diversity of opinion as to the propriety of the place
in which tiro amendment has been inserted.
There was an interesting episode in the Com
mittee, arising from an amendment offered by
Air. Mullen, of New-York, to mako an appropria
tion for Governor, Legislature, Judges and other
officers of the TVrrttory of Wisconsin. This was
intended by Mr. Alullen as a practical jok<
burlesque upon the vote of tire House admitting
Air. Sibley to a seat in the House as a Delegate
from the Territory of Wisconsin, to which I re
ferred in a previous letter, there being no such
Territory, and the House having refused to pass
billa organizing Territorial Governments in those
regions at the last session. By way of keeping
up tiro joke, Air. Scbenck, of Ohio, moved to
amend the amendment by inserting Iowa also,
which was accepted by the mover. The joke,
however, was taken in earnest by quite a number
of members, pro and con—some by way of de
monstrating the absurdity of the whole thing
moving to insert California and New Mexico,
and thus contending very earnestly and with every
indication of sincerity that the Territories of Iowa
and Wisconsin, notwithstanding the admission
of tho States bearing those names, were still in
existence and entitled to an imposing array of
Territorial officers, and appropriations therefor.
The amendment was finally amended by stri
king out Wisconsin, and then the amended a-
mendment was rejected.
The organ of this morning, is very urgent upon
Congress to act in the matter of establishing a
Territorial Government in Upper California, and
gives a slant at those of its own party who Iiave
expressed their opinion that because their candi
date for the Presidency has been defeated, there
fore all matters out of which there is a chance
thatdifftoulty may arise to the incoming Ad
ministration should be allowed to go over to that
Administration for settlement. It is not worth
while to enter into an examination of the ntotivi
which actuate the organist, or the men in whoso
hands he is a puppet, to put forth this appeal at
this time. But he insinuates that if a Territorial
Government be not established at this session,
there is danger that California may bo lost to the
Union. In making this insinuation the organist
is guided by tiro little value wliich he and his co
workers attach to the Union. He does not reflect
that among the people of tiro Union, there is a
deep abtdiug attachment to the Union which will
draw all their feelings thitherward even at the
distance which California is from its capital
Tiro men of enterprise I'cnerally, and Indomita
ble industry who are xvending their way thither,
have never eakulatnl the value of tho Union as
has the orgqnist nml his confreres. Their at
tachment to it is instinctive, and trot to be weak
ened by distance, or even by tho feet, if it should
prove to be a feet, that tiro representatives of the
defeated party are willing to leave them without'
a government for Uro sako of any supposed ad
vantage they may reap from such a course. Let
the orguniat therefore calm his fears. There is
no occasion for them.

WASHINGTON, JAN. IT, 1849.
The Senate was engaged all day in discussing
tiro bill to reduce the postage to an uniform rate of
three cents for letters and one cent for newspa
pers—the principal part of tho debate however,
was devoted not to a consideration of tiro benefits
which would arise from audi such a reduction,
but to an amendment proposed by Mr. Undrb-
wood to give the franking privilege lo the Judges
of tho Supretna Court, which was very generally
opposed, and elicited from Mr. Footr a violent
philippic agaimt Judge McLean for two letters
whlchhewruteduringlheliutPresidential canvass
touching the Wilmot Proviso and tiro Mexican
War. When dinner hour came round the bill
was passed over and the Scnnta adjourned.
The House was engaged on the Civil and Diplo
matic Appropriation Bill and finally succeeded
iu Committee «f the Whole in passing an amend
ment relative to (he mileage which provides that
hereafter member* of Congress shall be paid ten
cents per mile by tiro usual moil route for their
travelling exptoaes, and instead of a per diem
compensation as. now, they should receive a sala
ry of $t,000piranunm. This proposition has,
however, to undergo the ordeal of a vote by aye*
and nocs when tW bill gets through the Commit
tee, and 1 doubt very much whether it will suc
ceed. First, because thoso who do not receive
now more than $800 to $1,500 for the short ses
sion, mileage included, and from $1,500 to $2,-
900 for the longiession, will be afraid to vote them
selves an increase, and those who reoelvo from
$1,000 to $3,600 every session for mileage alone,
will not be willing to voto a reduction of their
pay. These two classes united, with some who
are honestly in favor of the presnt system, though
reaping no benefit from it, will be sufficient to
repeal it.
Whatever may bu tho result on tire mileage
question, I sincerely wish that tiro system of pay
ing members of Congress a salary, could be
substituted for the present per dieui system,
am convinced tlmt.it would bo a benefit to tho
country, and it would very probubly put au end
to the protracted Sessions which are held every
other year under the present system. I am one
of those too who think tlmt the present per dictn
allowance is not a sufficient compensation, for a
man of ability and talents who represents a con
stituency in Congress; although I am opposed to
the system which compensates sdmo members at
tiro rate of $2500 for mileage, and gives othera
from $50 to $100. Tlmt 1 think is unequal and
and unjust, nnd ought to be amended.
If ever there was an uneasy creature in this*
world, it is tho presidential organ grinder. His
paper this morning contains—what it has con
tained frequently before—a very jeremiad of a
leader t on the probability tlmtGeneral Taylob’s
Administration will bo WHIG. The fears of the
aged editor arc strongly developed. He fears
very much thut General Taylob will have Ids
Cabinet off Whig. That he thinks is settled, but
it is evident tlmt he comes to this conclusion with
much unwillingness, and it is evident with still
greater regret that he touches upon the probabili
ty, that General Taylob will afterhehasoppoint-
cd his Cabinoi, require them to regulate tiro in
ternal concerns of tiro Departments, of which
they will be tho heads. The poor old man
has been so long accustomed to the Demo-
eratie mode of ahsorbing all power into the
hands of the President, that it is very appa
rent he thinks the Constitution and tho resolutions
of *98 are both in favor of the extension and en-
largnrent of the one man power. Fortunately we
have good reasons lo believe that Gen. Taylor has
been brought up in a different school, and tlmt he
believes the Constitution ought to be something
more than n dead letter. It is this wjdch troubles
the organ grinder. Ho perceives the days of spu
rious Democracy are numbered, and ho fears tlmt
a Constitutional administration will be so much
in fovor with the people, thnt ho will no longer
have an opportunity of carrying out hia old prin
ciples, all tho principles lu ever had—five loves
and twofi-hr*.
A return has been laid before the House of Re
presentatives from tiro War Department, in re
ply to a resolution, showing the States which had
supplied the rank and file of the army during tho
war with Alcxiro, which illustrates forcibly the
cfeirn which some persons have act up that the
North furnished all the men. This return shoiys
the contrary, and if tho numbers furnished from
each section of tho country be compared with the
free white population of each section—North and
South—I think It will bo found that the 8oulh fur
nished a larger portion than the North, without
taking into consideration the feet that of those en
listed and credited to the North in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia and Cincinnati, probably
three-fourths were foreigner*, while nearly all
from the Southern States^ were native born clll-

Oua Flao Abboad-—Tho fine frigate St. Laio-
rtnee, commanded by Capt. Pavldino, zays the
Baltimore Jmericen, has been displaying tho
American flag in tho North sea, tho Baltic, nnd
in the British Channel. Everywhere it hna boon
greeted with distinguished attention. The em
blem of freedom, of freedom successfully estab
lished Ut a great Republio on this side of tiro At
lantic, it attacta at this moment a special interest
among nations who are but beginning to undergo
tiro parturient struggles which promise to give
birth to Freedom for them.
At an entertainment given to Capt. Pauldino,
his officers and crew, by tho citizens of South
ampton, a tone of cordiality prevailed highly
pleasant to witness. Mr. Cocksuan, a member
of Parliament, in a highly complimentary speech,
said :
Old John Bull has had many sons, but the first
born and noblest of them all is Jonathan, the A-
irrericani and while Jonathan was a little coy. he
jvaa a very docile obedient child; but Jonathan
[row stout and strong and became a man, and
learned to think nnd feel for himself, and he
claimed to act for himself as a man. But John
Bull is sometimes a stubborn obstinate fellow;
and he has a will of his own, and, fetlrer-like, ho
did not wish to see thaater Jonathatiplay theman,
and throw off the leading strings. Fathers are apt
to tako such a view with regard to their sons,
when thoy come to man's estato. Tito old man
said “No, no, Jonathan; I am determed you shan’t
bo out alter nlno o’clock;” and so Ola John the
fovemor and Jonathan tho son, went to logger-
tends; when tho old man found out that Jonathnn
was grown too much for him, and wss not to be
corrected into tame submission; and at last he
consented to do wlutt he ought to have done at the
beginning, viz: to emancipate Jonathan, who
had become a man, and allow him henceforth to
act for himself.
And now, Jonathan, tiro son. has become great
nong the greatest nations tiro world has ever
*n, and John Bull tho fether looks with exulta
tion and pride on the greatness and glory of his
son, and admires, with approving and exulting
emotions, his giant form, ms manly strength, his
mighty intelligence, his aptitude for>ll the busi
ness of life, his indomitable courage, and his un
conquerable love of freedom and liberty, and he
feels that the-greatness of his offspring will here-
alter refioct honor on himself (loud cheer*.) Thus
there Is a community of sympathy, feeling and
sentiment existing between the old nnd new coun
tries, which can never ceaco t» actuate them (hear)

Had that noble frigate that now floats on the^beau
teous waters of Southampton, lutd she touched
elsewhere, the officers and crew that man her
would have found the same cordial reception,
which tiiuy have done us the honor to accept on
the present occasion (hear, hear.)
In Germany the most gratifying receptions
awaited our gallant tars wheruvur they went.
Capt. Paulding mado a journey Into tho interior,
as far ns Berlin, in order to confer with our Min
ister at that city, and also to comply with itivUa
lions from tho Prussian Government and the
Frankfort Assembly. A letter from one of tho
officers who accompanied Capt. Paulding, states
that throughout the excursion tho uniform was a
Mssport to hospitalities of the most flattering nnd
ibcral diameter. Tho Kiug of Prussia, in his re
ception of tlicm, left notiiing undone that could
render their visit gratifying. Besides being con
veyed to tho palace and back to tho depot in tiro
royal carriages, they were driven through bis
grounds, attended by an officer of high rank, for
three or four hours, and were then received by the
patriarch of travel and science, Baron Humboldt,
the King's principal and confidential counsellor,
and entertained with a royal breakfast.—The fol
lowing is the conclusion of tiro officer's letter :—
“A committee of tiro Frankfort Assembly (they
represent all the states of Germnny) entertained
us in magnificent style; our navy and country
were tousled in every way that could be thought
of by the assembled wisdom, and speeches were
made nnd every thing dono to gratify us. About
fifty were present—as many as the room would
hold—nnd wc were nrowcu to remain longer and
dino'with others of the Assembly on the following
day. Tho Arch Duke John, a very Important
pcraoimgc now fn Germany, also invited us to
(line, and the most splendid private hospitalities
were provided for us, if we would only remain,
We were even importuned to do so, but Captain
P, was apprehensive that ottr noble frigate) would
be frozen up in the Waer, if he remained as !ong
nsjbe good people of Gcrmauy would have us.
“ You cannot conceive, and it is really incredi
ble, tite aensation produced by the arrival of
this frigate) on the sltores of Germany. Every
body, until our departure, smiled upon us, and I
may say received us with open arms. There has
been nothing too good forua.”
[COMMUNICATRD.j
Metiri.Elitori:—I have often wondered why,
thirty Stats, do not appear in our national flag
instead of tiro twenty-six, now that our coun
try has increased and grown aa a giant number
ing Thirty States, with territory enough to form
four or five States more. I think wo should keep
pace with the times, and wave at our mast-head
our full force and strength. ENQUIRER.
