Goutlouion—*My loiter of tills morning did not contain n fiill statement of what win dotio in the House on yesterday, ao I now proceed to supply the deficiency. Mr. Harris of Clark, introduced a hill to alter and amend an net to protect orphans, and to make *porinauont provision for tho poor, ap proved December 18,1792. Mr. Reid offered a resolution inuruetnig tho Judiciary Committee to uuquiro into the expedi ency of empowering tho Judge of tho Superior Court and Justices of tho Inferior Court to change nanioj, Ac. . Tho House rejected tho amendment of the 8enate, to the Dill to appropriate money for cer tain purposes therein contained. Yeas 53, Nays 58. The house passed the bill to regulate Justice* Courts in the City of Savannah, uud also one to rcgulato Peace Warrants. A’so, the following:—To regulate the trial of slaves, an l free persona of color, in die City of Savannah. To alter and amend nn act to point out tho mode for tho collection of rents, and tho recovery of possession of property within the City of 3a. vunnalt. To authorise the Governor to uppoiut a Statu * Librarian, nud to fix his salary. To enablo die citizens of Wayne County to fix upon a permanent situ fur thu public buildings thereof, uud to raise funds to erect a Court House thereout also, to authorize thu SherilV of Way no County, to su!i the Academy; and to authorise the Kile of liens. Tho Hill to alter and amend the loth See., 1st Art. of thu Coin'd tali on was rejected—us was that to rcliuve persons who have incurred disa bilities by having been legally divorced,uud to re peal laws pro tcrihiug such disabilities—ou die lat ter die vole stood, yens 48, nays 59. Indie Senate,this morning,Mr. Chastain mov ed to reconsider so much of the Journal ofyuater- day, ns relates to thu action of thu Senate upon the resolution of Air. Diiuaguii, and die substi tute of Air. Hoyntou. Mr. Stapleton moved die previous question, which was sustained—and ou die question, "shall die main question hu now put/” it was decided iu the ufliruntivu. Yeas 23, nays 21. Thu question then recurred upon thu inodoii to rccuiuidcr, and ou agrouiug thereto, die yens ure 21, nays 2 i. Those who voted in tho affirmative are Messrs. Barclay, Camp, Cluistaiu, Cochran, Codec,Dun- agan, Duncan, Fariss,Forman, Fort, Glenn,lien- dersou, Hilliard, Hum, Hunter. Irwin, Lawton, Uniford, Stewart, Waters, Wiggins. Those who voted in tho negative arc Messrs. Boynton, Clayton, Collins, Darden, Holloway, D. D. Johnson, W. J. Johnson,Little, AIcArthur, McLeod, Marks, Martin, Maxwell, Montgomery, Afoorn, Park*, Itueso, Smith, Snider, Stapleton, Terrell, Wales, Williamson, Willingham. So the motion to recomidor was lost. Mr. Wiggins offered the following preamble and resolutions: Whereas, tho election of President of die United States, ut tho ensuing Presidential elec tion, may bo transferred from its legitimate tribu nal, die people, to the House of Representatives; and whereas the subject of slavery is one of vital ’mportaiico to die State of Gcorgia;nnd whereas it is highly prolmhlo that Henry Clay, of Kentucky, will be a candidate, or bo run for that distingiibli. cd office; and wherons tl.c said Henry Clay, in a recent speech delivered in die City of Lexing ton, ou die 13th of November, 1847, said—" / hfico ever regarded slnccnj -is a great cril, a wrong, for tin present l fear nn irrcmwliablo wrong, to its unfortunate victims. I should rejoice if not a siugle slave breathed die air, or was within tho limits of our country.” And whereas, in die said speech, ho avowed that—" near die close of dio last century." ho advocated a system by which all slaves, " who might bo born subse quent to a speeilid day, were to become freo at tho nge of twenty-eight, nud during their service were to ho taught to read, write und cypher.” And wheron*. in said spcoch, lie furthor declurcd, "After a hard struggle, thu system was defeated, and I regret it extremely, as, if it had been diou a- dopted.ouo State, (Koutiieky) would now bo near ly rid of that reproach.” And whereas,ou the occa sion alluded to, ho offered, uiitong others, thu fol lowing resolutions, to wit: "That wo do positively and emphatically dis claim und disavow any wi.-li, or desire, on our part to acquire any foreign territory whatever for the purposo ofintrodiicing Slavery from the Uni ted States into any such foreign territory.” And whereas, such scntUueuts are uuti-Southurn, and render their author unworthy the confidence of the people of Georgia. 1 , |* Be *1 therefore Resolved, by tho Senate and House of Itenrisentativos of tho State of G.orgia m General Assembly met, and it i< here by Resolved by tho authority of the same, That m case tho said Henry Clay should he a candi date, or ho run for the Presidency of the United States, at the ensiling Presidential election, and iu case said election shall devolve upon the House of Representatives, that our Representatives in that body ho, and they are hereby requested in no event, to vote for the said Heury Clay, or any other candidate entertaiiiiug the same opinions tipou the subject of Slavery. 2d. Bo it furthor Resolved, &c, That IIJs Ex- ccllcncy tho Governor, furnish each of our Rep resentatives in Congress, with n copy of this pre amble and these resolutions. Mr. Boynton, from tho Committee on Fiunnco, nindo a very long Report, fifty copies of which were ordered to bo printed. Mr. Williamson oirerod ii resolution, that both branches of the Legislature will adjourn sine die, on Saturday, tho 18th of tho present month. The Senate, by a voto of 27 to 12, receded from its amendment to tho hill of the House to appropriate money to repair and furnish tho gov- ornjncut mansion. Thus much for the morning action of the Senate. The afternoon session of tho Sennto was ex clusively confined to reading its owu bills the second time, and those of the House thu first time. Q|Iii tho House, ou motion of Mr. Clark, it wm agreed to reconsider the bill passed, to regulate Peace Warrants. On motion of Air. Tift.it was agreed to recoil- rider the rejected lull, to relieve persons who hive incurred disabilities in con joquenco of divorce, «fcc, Yeas 58, nays 53.

Yens 44, nays 75. t Several' amend ments were - proposed to various sections of tho bill until tho house adjourned, without ony final action th&rcou.

We would most respectfully urge upon our readers tho great importance of each man’s go ing to the polls, and this day depositing his voto fora Mayor and Aldermen of tho city. That the present administration of the city ufluirs can he heartily sustained by tho citizen* of Savannah generally, wo cannot believe. To koep itself in power,has been one of its controlling purposes. To effect tins no stone has boon left unturned.— To those who believe that onr city affairs have been improperly administered, that abuses have been tolerated and fostered for the purpose of retaining the offices, that tho good of tho city has not been consulted, that partiality and favor itism have been tho order of the day, a ticket is now presented which claims and desnrvos the ou- tlmsiostic support of all good men. Let nil then go to the polls and voto to-day. Let not tho ex pectation of defeat deter any man from the dis charge of his duty. Tho good of our coiniuou city, in whose welfare ull are vitally interested,dc- mnnds that her destiny should no longer ho en trusted to bauds tlmt have already controlled it too long. Fire Department. A "Tux P«yer”iit Saturday’s Republican state* the expenses of the Fire Department during the lust year, at only $1400. Under thu Democratic Board 2200. Now, if this is true, it is owing to tlicro having been hardly any fires during the last year, tho ox- ponditnres of that Department varying accord ing to tho frequency of fires, repairs of engines, &c. But if any credit is to be given tonny person or body, let it bo given to tho Chief Fireman (who is Mr. Purse, n Democrat.) who has tho di rection und control of this expenditure, sanction ed it is true, by thu Committee ufCouncil on the Fire Department. Incidculnl Expenses* "Tax Payer” also claims a curtailment in the hwulr.ntal Erpensrs of nearly $1300 Cor tho Whig Board. It any ouo will look at tho expenses of the Democratic Board, they will see $023—paid for opening Canal street in 1815, $335—for funeral honors to Gen. Jack-son, and $73.21 inoro expended by the Democrats for supplying tho poor with inediciuo: than was explained by the Whig Board. Here aro three items only, which make more thnn$1300—claimed to liuve been saved by tho Whig Board. Jail Expenditure*. Wo showed on Saturday nn increase of $692.85 in tho expenditures by the Whig Board on u new jail, when their gross receipt from tho Jailor wero $979,89 less, than under a Democratic Board. Now, in 1845, Dr. Wayne, Mayor, in bis Re port states ns follows : “Jail.—Tho receipts hov® decreased $943.81 by n falling off in the number of prisoners. Tho expenditures have decreased $1,568.53.” On tho satno principle the expenditures of a Whig oard should havo bocu less in tho same ratio, whereas while their receipts during the past fiscal year wero nearly $980 less than thoso of the Democratic Board, their expenditures wero near ly $693 mojre than the Democratic Board. Tliis is hut one of many items which we could bring before our rcuders to disprove the boas ted "judicious economy” of the Whig fiuuuciers of our City. The Northern Mail.—The Charleston Courier of 4th inst. says—"Tho Wilmington boat reached hero between 0 and 7 o’clock last evening, bring ing only tho mail due that day. "The boat tlmt left Wilmington on Wednes day was passed iu tbo river Thursday going back, in consequence of the boisterous state of tho weather; consequently the mail due on Thursday la*t we* taken hark by her. "The Wilmington, arrived yesterday, left Wil mington on Thursday, bin Imd to put into Smith- ville, owing to strong bend wind* and a heavy sea. She left SrtpUiviHc yesterday’ morning at 6 o’, dock. ' of Uio law, who bus pompously arrogated to himself tho credit for measures iu tho coucopr lion of which ho boro no part, utul who has displayed such cutpablo ignorance and partiality in his administration of tho business and mone tary relations of the State ho was selected to gov ern. For tho present wo beg leave to direct attention to tho following extract front hi* late message.— It contains matter well calculated to excite tho sueprise if not to arousu thu alarm of thu people of Goorgia. After a reference to thu debt of thu Stale to tho linn of Retd, Irving Co, of Lon don, "long *iuce due,” hut lurguly reduced, ho uses Uio followingsigiiificnut language: "Tho probable dissolution of this firm will conclude tho agency that wuh established by con tract, specific as to all nucessury details, for thu payment of the sterling bonds. 13" Additional- Ltf’ ly, it might bn regarded as an alarming 13?“ incident, if the bonds, pledged to them as jv J 13?* u security for their ad ranees to the State, tsfeceding the amount of those advances about Ji]} 53?“jC22,500, shooi.d nx put afloat ox_.£;j USTtiib mahkf.t. The KSTABLI3HKD Tt?*TEORITr OF THIS FIRM, HOWEVER, IS A^A ; { LV“o0ARAXTKE AOA1N3T SUCH A FAITHLESS. /Vj C5F*t«\es.\ctioii.” These sentence* are pregnant with strange ami alarming suggestions. It is known that this debt of Reid, Dving uud Co., was incurred some eight or nine yours ago, with u view of prosecuting the Western uud Atlantic Rail Road. For thu pur pose of raising the necessary funds, negotiable bonds of thu Statu wore placed in the bauds of Messrs. Reid Irving and Co., of London, who made certain advances upon them. As security, however, for these advances they wero allowed to hold in their possession Statu houds exceeding "the amount of these advances about £22,599” or about $119,000. During thu four years of ('rawford's administration, tho original debt of Reid, Irving & Co., for the collateral security of which tiiese surplus bonds were left iu their possession, has been very largely reduc ed. Tho Message says, "Within tho last four years thu aggregate payments made iu extinguish ment of the public debt, or more particularly the debt of Reid, Irving & Co., long since due, amount to $301,591.” In another sentence giv ing the existing indebtedness of the State, the Governor puts tho balancu due to Messrs. Reid, Irving &- Co,for their advances, at ”£15,130 00. It follows, therefore, that this firm has been allowed, during the whole of Crawford's administration, to retain in their hands the entire umount of the surplus bonds given as security for the entire amount of the original debt,although that debt has been from time to time retlueed by large payments. And at the TIME IIK PREPARED HIS AIeSSAOE TIIET HELD HONDS TO THE AMOUNT OF £22,500, AS SECURITY FOR ADVANCES OF THE SUM OF ONLY £15,130 06* Well may tho iutelligoRt reader start ami ex claim what is thu muaiiiug, nud what will bo tho result of this! It Is elcar enough that the original contract with Reid, Irviug & Co. could never have contemplated tho retention by them of these surplus bonds, until tho entire debt was paid/ It is obvious that ns the debt itself was reduced, the security shouUl have been proportionally reduced, and the Bonds withdrawn and cancelled. But the Governor’s Message disclose* the nstounding fact that this has not been done, that the whole securi ty has been left in the bauds of these gentlemen, uutil what amounted to a security of ten per cent. ou the whole original iuddblodiius*, has grown to thu enormous dimensions of near i'J* one hun- iirkd AND FIFTY peh CBNt.J£* on tho small bal ance due. The " groat financier” seems to havo boon star tled by tho difficulties nud dangers in which he had involved tho State, too latu to suvo her from them. Uy his boasted financiering ho has made her liable to pay, twice ovrr, uii enormous sum of money. Neither his am, nor the arm of any Executive of Georgia, can ward oil* the impend ing blow. He is possessed of sufficient percep tion to see this, and therefore speaks of the result of this culpable ignorance or negligence (wc c: not which) on his part ns an "alakmi.vo inci- uf.nt!" Alarming indeed! but does he tell u« hoio to avoid tho danger into which lie has plung ed the State / Does hu now givo us a specimen of that wonderful genius for financiering which, in the opinions of many, scorned, like tho philoso pher’s stone, to turn every thing it touched into gold I llow are wo to escape this ulariiiin^ incident? how, to guard against it ? Wlmtgmzr- antec of safety duos lie give—ho, the infallible financier ? Why, here it is! After notifying the Legislature that those bonds "may iie put afloat on THE market,” evidently horrified iu referring to tho fact, ho says—-13 s * The established integrity of this firm, however,is a guarantee ! against such a faithless transaction Wo defy thu nnuals of this or any other State Executive to present such a gross, glaring and dis graceful piece of financial bungling nothin!—As u guaranty against the second payment of a large amount of bonds by tho State, the Governor pre sent* tho Legislature with the “established intrgri- ty” of a foreign firm of merchants. Tho inter ests of Georgia aro based upon tho integrity of Reid, Irving & Co. But wbnt will the public say, when they learn that Messrs. Reid. Irving & Co. have failed—that their assets may have been scattered to the winds, and that neither Cn FORD, NOR ANY OTHER PERSON CAN TELI. VS WHERE THE winds ARE? Truly may lus departed Ex cellency exclaim—it is "alarming” to think that they may "bare been put afloat on the market,”— Aud the people of Georgia, in view of the dan ger in which their interests are involved, depen dent ulonu upon tho integrity of foreign mer chants, or rather upon chance und accident, real ize tho illustration of tho "penny-wise and pound- foolish ” policy, and understand tho difference be tween tho capacious intellect of a real financier, and the narrow perception of a gubernatorial "dime-saver.

Thu citizens of Mnse.ogce, there being n small attendance owing to the cold uud biting wuather of Friday, (says the Times,) wore therein request ed to inout on thu 4thday of December (Saturday Inst) to expross their opiuiou, either by voto, or otherwise, os to tbo propriety of asking tho Legis ts re to uuthorizo tho Inferior Court of that county to levy nn extra tax upon the property, reul und personal, iu said county, not to exceed one per cent upon thu former, uud ouo fourth of one per cent upon tho latter, fur tho purposo of paying tho mtureut upon the bonds which said Inferior Court may issue, in payiiiuut for slock ill tho Muscogee Rail Road, not to exceed three thousand share* of said stock. /mother resolution requested the people of Talbot, Harris and Upson counties to cooperate as soon a* possible with the people of Muscogee. [for THE GEORGIAN.] Messrs Editors—A coriuspuiulenl of the Re publican has endeavored to make capital for the present eity administration upon the ground that the Mayor did not find it necessary 'to call oat the military force at thu hist election to quuli tho riot*. This Whig scrihhler has the assurance to claim a mere cessation from vice, ns a]positivu vir tue iu his party. Whoso limit was it that the military were compelled to turn out two years ago? Was it tho fault of the Mayor and Alder men of the oily or of the Whig bullies (known as such) who attempted to control the b.illot-hox ? Every honest man knows where tho fault lies, and the lender* of the Whig party know it woll enough, and thu finger can now be pointed atjtlic very leaders in all of these disturbances about the polls winch occurred, so long as it was deemed weessary to resort to brute force to carry the elec tion. Now that other moans of electioneering, loss noisy, indeed, but none tho less cojriipt nud efficacious, have been cnllcd into requisition, the systom of Whig "bully ism” has, to a certain ex tent, been dropped, and for this *it is argued that a laurel should ciicirclo llio brow of the present eity Executive. This strikes me as being a piece of assurance which casts even his Honor’s re port, in which ho speaks of a dobt as a "provis ioninro the shade.

Those remark* arc eligitml by a circumstance which has recently come to thu knowlcdgo of the writer. During tho vieisitude* of trade, a merchant of our city had been, iu year* past, overtaken by misfortune. He became bankrupt, lii* creditor* came to a final settlement with him nud lie obtained from them a full discharge. But such legal discharge did not satisfy tho conscience of this honest niau. Having been successful iu business, he obtained a siitli ‘iency (ho did not, it is said, wail until ho imd obtained a fortune) to pay off tho balance duo hi* creditors and from which ho had been discharged. He promptly slept forth and volunta rily paid tho balance of hi* moral dobt to nil his creditors. Such an act reflect* credit on our com munity. The writer is personally very slightly acquainted with tho gontlumnu in question, but he iu common with all honest men cannot fail to venerate him. .May "hi* home ho filled with plenty” and Ins days be days of peace. PHILO HONESTY. The Telegraph was operating beautifully yes terday, from sun-rise to ten o’clock iu tho evening. Many comumiiicatiou* passed between tbo two cities.

It is a mys tery which has remained impenetrable .since the awful iiiuiuoiit when the waters of that wondrous sen first rose above the smouldering ruins of thu vale of Soldim Thu configuration of one half of its shores and its very extent mil unknown.— its waters of pclrilying quality, mid limpid a* a mountain stream, doubtless hold within their bosom, and holding will reveal, thorn ruins, upon the uoii-existeiicu of which tho unbeliever statu* hi* incredulity. Strabo, Diodorus. Flitiy, and Josephus numug the undents—and MauudrelM’ocoke, Abbe .Mar line, Uhuluuiibriaud, La Martino, Stephens, and Robinson, among the modern*, all dilfer a* to the extent, aud many oftho peculiarities of this sea Considerable stream* arc said to empty into it,the very name* of which are unknown. Some have heard thu gambolling* of fish upon its surface, while otluffx deny that any animated thing what- cau exist wftliiu its dense aud hillur water*. Fruits, luscious to the eye, but of nauseous taste, and crumbling ill the grasp, ure said to be found upon it* shore*. Many traveller* deny the exis tence ofall vegitation, and Cliatuauhriaud asserts tliat he, found branches oftho tamarind tree strew n upon thu beach. Its southern coast i* said to con sist of masses of solid salt; while as (hr as the uyo can re tch from' its northern extreme, it beholds only the washed and barren bill* of Judea on one side, and those of Arabia I’etrea on tho other.— All is vague, uncertain mid mysterious. Are the question* atuwerud"/ Or shall a small pecuniary consideration withhold a country such us this from such uu undertaking? I admit tliat it is not u summer’* excursion, and tlmt British officers ure said to have twice failed in a like attempt. Should that circumstance deter us? I venture to say, tlmt within the broad peri phery of this laml.wltieh.cradled between oceans, stretches from tho frigid zone to the tropics; there i* not one native born or true hearted adopted citizen who will answer in tho affirmative. We owe something to the scientific mid the Christian world, aud while extending thu blessings of civil liberty in the sontli mid west, may well a fiord to foster science and strengthen the bulwark* of Christianity in the cast.
