[Corre*i>ondoiic* ofAhs^svanash Georgian.] MILLEDGEVILLE.Nov.30. Daria* discnasion yesterday in die Senato, Mr* Barclay and Mr. Forttian made aorno elo quent remark* in Allusion to Mr. Clay's assort ion thatthe war with Mexico did not originate witli ' thatfoternmont, but from tho act of our own.— II was contended that the-annexation of Texas eras the real cause, and that tho war had boon do* dared by Mexico oarly in April, proceeding! tho March of our troops to tho Rio Grande. That bid oar army remained on tho Nueces, it would there hare boon attacked, for Mexico claimed ■ojt onty what was called the disputed territory, bat dw whole of Texas, and bad actually made preparations to attompt its reconquest. In or dering forward our army, by advice of General Baylor, President PolH had onty discharged v high duty, fur delaying which ho would AT* been censurable; aud gentlemen on tho cither side would -have been tho first to censure him. Among nil nation* it was the practice when war was inevitabiu, to carry it into the enemy's country—it was a settled maxim, to ftmrttr on the enema. That it was n mutter about which there should be no division in this country and it was lamentable, instead of cordially uniting npon the report of the minority, to see gentlemen attempting to throw n fire brand in that body, by forcing a substitute upon them. . Mr. Woles rejoined, that ho was nstmtiMiod nt this charge of himself and friends wishing to throw a fire brand to interrupt tho harmony of the Senate. Ho askod gentlemen to recollect who did throw it. That body had proceeded in quiet ness with the ordinary business of legislation,un- til the Senator from Hall interposed his resolu tions. Tho fire brand camo from the other side of the house. Mr. Reese said ho was sorry those resolutions had boeu presented—ho could por- coive no practical good likely to result from tho discussion of abstract theories. They did but im pede the legitimate action of tho Lcgis’a u/c/nnd did harm by occasioning an unnecessary expendi ture of the people’s money, and of time that should be devoted to the purpose of practical leg islation. The representatives of tho people wore •ant (there to deliberate upon the euactmeut of wholesorao laws, whore none existed—and to amend such as woro found defective—not to manufacture politics, or create occasions for dis sension. Mr. Martin, among other things, affirmed, (if I beard and understood lum right,) that he regarded Mr. Polk as the originator of this war, which ho pronouncod unrighteous, and unprovoked by Mexico, lie said it was proposed too,to demand indemnity from Mexico—indemnity for what?— He had nover heard of indemnity being claimed by one nation from another, to defray tho expen ses of a War. History makes no mention of * such a thing. With all defcrenco to the assertion of this gori. tleman, and respect for his Senatorial ofiicn, I conceive his memory at fault in this matter. Mu- ny instances are of rocord where the thing luis been done, so many indeed as to constitute a principle incorporated into every treatise extant, on the laws of uations. What was the tine qua non of allied Europe after tho overthrow and ox- jtnlainH of Nnpnlonn. on malting ,t pooon with France? Indemnity for the past, and security for the future! Several hundred millions of dollars were thus paid, and Fmnce compelled to support 100,000 hostile troops for five years quartered in her bosoTn. Was England ever victor in a war for which something was not conceded by the conquered, as indemnity, before she consented to give peace? 1 think not So fur ns precedent is concerned, there is enough of it to justify the position as strictly conformable to the usage of civilized uations. Christian Sliitcsmon.it is truo, should not move hastily to such an extreme meas ure—and if in behalf of humanity, and in a spirit of magnanimous forbearance, Mexico bo discharg ed IVom the indemnity, yet ovory principle of self preservation demands that tho clauso of seen- rityfor the future bo insisted on. With n popu lation proverbially fickle and treacherous, she cannot be treated as if they were possessed of ^opposite traits. The just dofenco of our owu citizens requires tho enforcement of stringent regulations to govaru all ftiruro intercourse with them. I have not quoted from tho remarks of other gentlemen who boro conspicuous parts in tho defence of the government of our Country, be cause my design simply has been to illustrate tho manner of die debate. To report thorn at length, U the office of a Stenographer, which 1 am not. MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec. 1,—At night. Mesahi. Editors—I have before me the Journal of the Senate for to-day, in which I find the yeas and nays have been called no less than nineteen time*. Whether this expenditure of public mo ney and the peoples’ time, be for tho pooplcs’ good, the people tliemsolves, on a review of tho proceedings must determine. The House of Representatives, by message, informed the Senate that they "have refused to concur in tho Senate's amendment to tho House bill appropriating money for purposes therein stated. . Mr. Williamson introduced a preamble and res olutions complimentary to tho Newton County Cavalry for'tiieir gallant conduct in Mexico. Mr. Dunagan olfered a resolution requesting the Governor to furnish a copy of tho luw of the Stato ofTennessee, granting to Georgia tho right of way to the Tennessee river, if such law be in his office. Tho Semite then proceeded with tho unfinish- ed.busmcss of yesterday,which was tho considera tion of Mr. Duuagan’s resolutions, relating to our Federal concents.

Mr. Simmons also movud to striko out and in sert some words widely was lost. Several other amendments were in liko manner proposed and rejected.

Mr. Marks moved to amend by adding a reso lution, which was agreed to. Mr. Marks also offered an amendment, denun- c'atory of tho President of tho United States, Mr. Polk, in relation to certain expressions used by him hi hixMossngo to Congress, concerning those who gnTe “ aid and comfort to tho Moxicaux," which was agreed to, yeas 23, nays 22. Mr. Glenn moved to lay tho original and sub stitute on tho table for thu present, which was lost.

Barclay, Camp, Chastain, Cochran, Coffee, Dun- flgnn, Duncan, Fariss, Forman, Fort, Glenn, Henderson, Hilliard, Hunt, Hunter, Irwin, W. J. Johnson, Lawton, Simmons, Waters, Wig gins. Mr. Stewart was excused from voting on this question. So tho original preamble and substitute us amen ded, wus agreed to. In the debates upon Mr. Marks’ resolutions of censure against Mr. Polk, there was more warmth of feeling exhibited than I have observed on any previous occasion—and many severe things wore said. Mr. Dunagun expressed himself with much energy—as did Messrs. Simmons, Chastain, For man, Lawton, nud others. The first named gen tleman said, among ninuy other tilings, that in using the phrase “giving aid and comfort to the enemy," the President did not intend to reflect up on any particular party, but applied it, as it should be applied, to individuals of any party, who were engaged in tho unholy work.. To tho gal- laut Whigs, who, spurning tho control of Mr. Webster, Mr. Clay, and that clique, had rushed to the battle field nt the call of tho country, nothing but admiration nud applause was due. But if oth er members of that party, from mistaken views, or other motives more conanrablo, found them selves in tho category described, it certainly was deeply to ho deplored. That the denunciations fulminated by American citizens against their own Government,and tho dofenco of Mexico by certain orators, even on tho floor of our Congress, had inspirited tho Mexicans, and furnished them with arguments to justify their outrages, never thought of by themselves, is a lamentable truth. This unpatriotic course hud certainly protracted tho War—caused tho expenditure of millions ofdol- lors—aud occasioned torrents of blood to flow ; upon this latter point, ho would willingly be si- leut-—but as au example to warn our countrymen of the mischiefs of disunion, he Imd alluded toil. Hundreds of vniuublo lives had been the forfeit of those speeches and publications, which ten ded to weukon tho arm of our government, whilo tboy strengthen that of tho enemy.— Well might tho President, well might this nation exclaim against those who tints con tributed “aid and comfort,” to tho Mexicans! It was not tho bravo and patriotic wliigs buttling ugninsl tho eunmics of their country, that was meant by Mr. Polk—nor or tho patriotic portion at homo, who in their heurts condemned the course of their leudcrx, but such of them a* maiued at homo waging nningterious war against tho government of our common country. I cannot follow the gentleman through nil of his position, but I believe tho above constitutes a part of what Ire delivered, ns I understood him 1 DECEMBER 2, 1817. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Harris of Baldwin,introduced u bill to regulate proceed ings in Chancery. Mr. Tift propoied a resolution requesting his Excellency tho Governor to inform tho Uotiso, what is tho present amount of the public school fluid—ofwliut they consist, and bow invested— what has been the nmiual income from tho fund siuce 1830, aud what tho annual income from each particular iuvestinont. Mr. Bird introduced a bill to add Ossabaw I*, land to Chatham couuty. Mr. Freeman—To facilitate the collection of interest on the public debt.

Col. Joseph W. Jackson was selected ns Chair man, nud W. Thaddeus Williams u» Secretary. Tho Chuirmau explained the object of the mooting. Whereupon, on motion of Dr. Richard D.

During their nliseuco, tho mooting was happily addressed by John W. Owens, Esq.

His uddress was most happily received. Tho meeting was then adjourned after an elo quent appeal from Dr. Arnold. JOSEPH W. JACKSON, Chairman. W. Tiiad. Williams, Soc’ry. The Democratic Ticket for Maror aud Aldermen, Wo have tho plensuro this morning of present ing to the citizens of Savannah, a ticket for May or and Aldermen, to bo supported nt tho ap proaching Charter Election. It is ono, which must command the respect of all, be tiioy Whigs or Democrats. It ombracus some of tho old, tried, and faithful servants of the people of our city, togethor with some of tho most active, intelligent, and imtefntigablo among our younger citizens, It is an able ticket, whether considered individu ally or collectively, and one which will do its duty, without fenr, favor or partiality. To speak in especial terms of commendation of the candidate for Mayor, could not placo him in a more onvia- bio position before tho community than tho oho which ho now occupies. Wo will lot liischarac ter speak for itself. Wo aro gratified in heading our columns with such a ticket as is now present ed, feeling assured that if rejected at the polls on Monday, the best interests of Savannah must sutler. We cannot believe, however, that such is to bo tho result. Wo hope for better tilings. Wo cannot but believe that tho abuses which have crept into tho administration of tho affairs of tho city during the hist year, will have opened tho eyes of many who, twelve mouths since, aided iu electing tho Whig ticknt. Wo say, therefore, to the good citizens of Savannah, now is tho timo to select men who will do their duty, their whole duty, and nothing but their duty, irrespective of all improper considerations. Tho Mayor's Report. Tho Mayor in his annual Report states thnt tho present Board of Aldoriuen havo reduced, and will reduce iua fow days, tho City debt to tho amount ol “$41,190,, within tho brief spaco of thirteen months." If such is tho fact, let them havo all the credit they chum of “studiously attending to tho pecu niary interests of the City of Savannah." But for tlio grand flourish of trumpets on tho part of the official head of a Whig Board of Al dermen—aud but for the praises lavished by tii press on tho economy manifested by the Whig ad ministration of tho City, wo might havo boon si- lout, and allowed them to be held up to their fel low citizens ns tho greatost flnunciera with whom tlio city 1ms ever been blessed. Tho Mayordoo* not say how the reduction i* of- fectyd. If our reudera will look at the report of tho Treasurer, it will bo Been that $10,000 have been received aa a dividend on the City stock in tho Centra) Railroad, not before received siuco 1841. $1,500 07 Loavlngiifter phymontof $1,200 to tho Jailor for his salary, $300 07 paid into tlio Troasury as net receipts from..tlio jail. For the year frem (id 1st of November, 1844, to Oclober31, 184V tho amount received from tlio Jailor for foos collected was $4,324 10 Tho sum paid out ftr provisions and other supplies $033 48 For repairs * 147 07—1,081 45 $3,242 71 Leaving, after pnyinout of $1,200 to tho Joilor for his salary, $2,042 71. If the Whig Board or Aldermen havo exercised such “wiso economy and distinguished ability," how in tho name ofcommon sense havo they so managed na to reduce tho rccoipts of tlio jail from $2042,71 to $3G0, 07. It will bo rouieuiborad that tlio Democratic Board had an old jail to ropair, and it is presum ed tnoro prisoners to feed, as thoir gross recuipts from tho jail oxceeded those of tho prosuut Board, aud yet the present Board have expended $1774. 30 for repairs, provisions, Ac., white their Do- mocmlic prodoecssors expended only $1081.45, part of which ($147.97) is to bo deducted for ma king habitublo au old and dilapidated building. Now we would “request oitr tax-payers ofboth parties to tnako tho comparison between this Whig exhibition of our city finances aud tho De mocratic one" of 1844 to '45,—tho last year when tho Democratic Party had the control of the finances of the city. Wo will oppose this Democratic practice of ccouauiy to the “judicious economy" claimed for thd Whigs, not apprehending that our tax-pnycra can bo so deceived by a witty (because brevity is the soul of wit) report from our Whig Mayor. But again, in the item of “salaries," how is it thnt, ill 1847, tindor the “judicious economy" of tho Whig Bourd $3,394 45 are paid to city offi cers for sufuries, when tho much taunted Demo cratic Board paid but $-1,633 05,aud this increas ed expenditure too when tho City Watch, Keep er of Guard House, nud oilier expenses incident thereto, havo cost the tax payers $2,314 53 morn than for the year ending Nov. J, 1845. In 1847, City Watch, $18,257 02 In 1815, “ ' “ 15,942 49 $2,314 53 Tho Mayor’s Report—Again. In the Report published last week, it is gravely assorted by tho Mayor that tho City debt has been reduced about $55,000 ill two years. If this woro really so, wo would givo die Whig Board of Aldermen all tlio credit they would de serve. But what nro tlio facts as disclosed in their own Reports ? In November, 1844, Col. Williams, then May or, reports tho Debt of tho City as composed of the following items: City stock for internal improvement, (originally $500,000,) Do. for Monroe Railroad City Scrip and Corporation notes, Add nntas duo Bunks, $176,000 00 50,000 00 93,035 40 $549,935 40 21,000 00 $570,935 40 In November, J815, Dr. Wayne, ns Mayor, re ports tho liabilities of the City to bn as follows; City loan forlnternnl Improvement, $470,000 00 Bonds to Monroo It. R. & Banking Company, Mayor’s notes, City Scrip, - Corporation notes, $8,236 00 1,990 15- 49,000 00 16,600 00 —10,226 15 $551,626 15 Hero then is a reduction of $19,109 25, being so much of tlio City debt paid off by the Demo cratic Board, and without thu aid of any dividend from tho Central Rail Road. In November, 1646, Dr. Burroiiglis, Mayor, states that lie has reduced tho City debt $13,626 00 In 1847 “wo (says he) havo reduced the City Debt Mayor’s notes of 1845, Amount of City Scrip, Amount of City bonds to Western Rail Road, (Monroo Rail Road.) Amount of City bonds that will bo cancelled iu a few days, 8,000 00 8,196 00 10,000 00 15,000 00 $5-1,822 00 If wo duduct tho last item not yet paid $15,000 00 Also tho amount receiv ed for dividend on Central Rail Rond Stock, not received, except this year, siucc 1841, 10,000 00- $29,822 00 Aud wo have $29,822 00, or $14,91100 for each year, making an annual reduction of less than that inado by tho Democratic Board of 1844-45, which, as staled above, was $19,109 25 Deduct from this reduction Whig an nual payment 14,911 00 -25,000 00 Again the Mayor actually claims to have paid but $26,196 up to tho 25th ult., when the report ... ., „ „ , was made.

Tho Editors of the New Orleans Ficny. une, have a letter from Ccrralvo of the 4th ult,, which says a report had just reached Lieut. Col. Webb, stationed there, of the 16th Infantry, that one of;hin scouting parties had fallen in with the guerrilla chief Elmojnh Murtiuus and his party, and that in tho engagement Martians was kilted. There aro known to be many partios of gtterril- leros and robbers iu the vicinity of Cerralvo un der Canutes, Bompies, Mendez, Arispe, Col. Trayauin uitd others. Col. Webb has three com panies of mounted men, and four of his own reg iment, under his command, and hopes aro enter tained thut lie may succeed in# destroying or dis- porsing-somo of those bands. - Gen.

Com Crop.--Estimates havo beon made that the Corucrop of tho Uuited States for the pres ent year amounts to six hundred millions of bush els,'which is about one-third* more than it was in 1845. Tho oxporUr in 1847 have nmouuted to 17,273,815 bushels of Corn and 945,049 bbls. of Meal. This is an enormous amount when we recollect that from 1791 to 1819 the exports nev er much exceeded two millions, and that from 1819 to 18*15 they never ainoutitea to ono million in any year. In 1840, they wero a little over two milliens. Jho Georgia Uattollene,. . , In tho midst of a lame, stumbling dofenco of Ex-Governor C taw ford's appointment of. tho commanding bfficbrs of tho Georgia Battaliops, tho Republican again, by way of digression (to use its own expression) recurs to personalities. Having already pronounced this course “ tho poor, pitiftt] resort of men who have oignally failed to moot nv in* argument," wo dismiss this part of tho subject with tlio simple suggestion that-our neighbors may be mistaken in suppos ing that'tho Whig party nt largo, participate iu their feelings of hatred for tho Gaorgiau. Wo aro happy in tlio bolief that our common renders know, as well as ourselves, tho cause of tills vlu- dictivotiess on the part of tho^'Republican, so con spicuously exhibited of into. That editors who havo not had tho courage to avow their principles, would wax fiorco nud iiidigmmt under a con stant application for tho same; thnt logicians who feel thnt tho argument pinchos,should make wry faces and emit wrathful ejaculations ; that politicians, unable to resist tho weight of truth, should make direful onslaughts upon its humble advocates,• is natural and common.' We trust that we shall bow our head with a becoming meek* ness to “lAe stones’' with which they may be pleas ed to pelt us, and white they indulgo themselves in thoir classic proceeding oFashioning" the Geor gian, feel that we arc suffering martyrdom iu a righteous cause. And now to the argument! Our indignant neighbors speak of our charge against Governor Crawford in the following sarcuHtic lauguage : It nccusoB Gov. Cra\vford of invading tho sanctity oftho laws of Georgia, of an evasion of the law, aud of violating the law relativo to tho election of fluid officers. How he could evudo or violate a law that has. no existence, is only to bo understood by the shrewd togiciaus of the Geor gian, who reason after n fashion peculiar to them selves," Now, wo trust nnr neighbors will not imagiuo that we render ourselves obnoxious to “Fonrr thousand Witiosliy when wo urge that they change their ideas of law, as they do thoir views upon politics, “ nftcr a fashion peculiar to them selves." Iu their paper of tho 25th of Novem ber, we fuidtho following souteuco:—“Governor Crawford, in reply, stated to tho Secretary that IIK HAD NO AUTHORITY, JIY THK LAWS OK GkoR- nu, to mako tho appointment, while tho whole battalion remained iu tho State." According to tho Republican's "fashion," thoroforo, Georgia law that existed on tlio 25th of November, with out any intervention of the Legislature, has ceas ed to exist on the 3d of'Docomhor. An Eurnpo. an monarch once resorted to tho process of las A- ing a lawyer to make him tell what was the law. Wo should snpposo that the readers of thu Re publican, liko the unfortunate king, must be in a most distressing condition of bewilderment. We charged Gov. Crawford with breaking not the letter, but the spirit of our law. This effort of our neighbors to escape from tho brunt of thu ar gument, is a miserable failure. Our reasoning on tho subject is brief and conclusive. Tho follow- is tho Governor’s own statement of the ease: “Touching tho mode of appointing tho field officers of voluutncrs when organized into bat talions, the law of the State is silent. Heretofore the precedent has been established that tlio vol unteers might elect, and have accordingly elected their field officers. But should any portiou of either of tlio required battalions bo removed be yond the limits of the State before each is fully organized, I shall thou deem it ns a duty to op- point tho commanding officers. Unless 'this con tingency should arise, I will he controlled by the practice in such cases, aud order elections for the Lieutenant Colonel of each battalion." It will be perceived that he appeals lo “ pnncK- df.nt" and to “practick" for light on the sub ject. Ho is right in stating that “precedent" and “practice” have given tho election of their ofii- cers to volunteers while in the State. But when ho goes on to infer thnt if a portiou of tho com mand bu out of the State, either “ prbcy.dknt or “practice" gives tho appoiutmeut of such officers to tho Executive, he infers u falsity. The snino precedent and practice which control tho command when in, coutro! it when out of the Stato. Frecodoiit and practice have fully estab lished the right of volunteers to elect thoir officers when in the field. The Republican has not ventur ed to deny this—and yet this is tho main ground of attack upon Crawford. To deny it would he tantamount to saying that tho Governor lias tlio right to appoint iu all cases of vacancies occurring by death or rcsignation of officers in volunteer commands from the State. It would bo, there fore, tantamount to saying, that such officers as have been elected iu tlm field, had no right to their commissions or to their pay. If tho right of ap pointment belongs to the Governor, of course no right of election belonged to the men. Yet some of tbe best officers of our volunteer force have been elected in tho field, and iu the case too, of commands from Georgia. From tho Clinrlc«tuu .Morcuryof llio let iiisl, Tho following resolutions wero introduced iu our Legislature on Saturduy last by Mr. Middle- ton, on tho subject of tho Wilmot Proviso: 1. Resolved, That the General Assembly of tho State, of South Carolina Imvo seen, with profound regret, the settled spirit of hostility matufested by the free States towards the institutions of tho South; a spirit which, if persisted ill, must inevi tably lend to tho most disastrous consequences to this Confederacy. 2. Rejoiced, That the rcceut developments the froo States, and especially tho attempt known ns tho “Wilmot Proviso," to prohibittho Southern Slates from enjoying tho common territory of the Union, raise an issue of startling importance, which requires, on (lie part of tho South, firm, en ergetic, and uuited action. 3. Resolved, That this State is willing nud anxious to bury all minor differences of opinion, and make common cause with tho other Southern States in the most energetic manner possible to maintain their common rights. 4. Resolved, That tho State of Smith Carolina will regard the passage of any act by tlio General Government upon the subject of slavery, iu vio lation of thu rights of the South, ns annulling the obligations o(tho Federal Compact; and upon the f mssnge of such act, alio will consider herself at iberty to form a ito\v, separate and distinct Government. 5. Resolved, Thnt the Governor ho requested to forwurd copies of these Resolutions to the Gov ernors and Legislatures oftho slaveholding States; and enter into correspondence with, und send slice ini onvoys, if necessary, to them, to bring about concert of action among such States iu the present crisis of our atfiiirs. The Indian Foot Race.—There was a great crowd at Bull's Head (near Albany) on Thursday last, to witness the foot race between Steeprock and Cooper, oftho Tonawnmlns, and Spruguoand Smoke, of tho Cattaraugus tribe of Itidiaus. The course was very heavy, and there was but little hope of any thing liko usunl time. 1st mile—Steeprock came in ahead in 5 in. 53s.; 2d—Cooper cnnic in ahead in 0 m.; 3d—Smoke ahead, in 5 in. 51s.; 4th—same, 5 in. 51s.; 5th— same, 5 m. 62s.; 6th—same, 5 m. 57s.; 7th—sumo, 6 m. 14s.; 8th—same, 6 m. 14s.; 9th—Steeprock, under the impression that it was thu 10th mile, made the mile in 6 in. 15s., coining in nhend; and halted. 10th—Smoke took advantage ofSteep- rock’s hesitation, nnd shot ahead, followed by, Steeprock, and camo in ahead about 50 yards, in 6 m. 15s. Smnko'atimo was Hi. 11s., which, considering tiie heavy state oftho track, is considered tlio best timo ever made. t Spragno gave out after running 1A miles; and Cooper hauled oft' on the third mile.—Albany Journal.

CHRISTIE’S GALVAN IC RINGS, BELTS, BRACELETS, und other appliances which uro adapted for peculiar diseases, to any part of the system with the most perfect safety and certainty of success.

II. Christie, an English physician of high reputation. “Mrs. Cunningham has beon suffering severely from both Chronic and Inflammatory Rheuma tism, for many years, ami has found but little re lief from tho many applications recommended by physicians, and the patent nostrums which have neon advertised as certain aud sovereign cures. Last week thu attack of Rheumatism was so se vere, that the agony was almost too much to boar, and tho bones of the right foot aud wrist were sen sibly protected from their natural position by thu pain—when wo determine* 1 In try thu virtue of the Galvanic articles, and Magnetic fluid, although Mrs. C. and myself had no faith in their virtues. The fact, however, has forced itself upon our minds that they possess astonishing power. From the first fifteen nouraof their application, a sensible dimi nution ofpniu commenced, first leaving the wrist free, ami finally, by a strict observance of tlio di rection, the foot ami whole body were entirely re lieved from pain nnd swelling in six days from the commencement of their use. Wo make this state ment, ns stated above, without the knowledge of Dr. Christio or hi* agents, us a matter of informa tion to the imhlic." L5T CAUTION.—The jjrent celebrity and suc- cossol'Dr. Christie’s Galvanic ami Magnetic Cura tives, has caused them to lie counterfeited by un principled persons. To protect flic public against deception there is hut ONE AUTHOR IZED AGENT unpointed in each town or city, from whom nlono the Gknuixk article can he pro cured. Only Agent iu Savannah. (In. A. A.
