The billwnstakemip by suctions—amendment* were of- fared in prof * on,and thediseiis ion thereon con tinued until a late hour,when the Senate adjourn ed without taking a vote. Tho consideration of this bill will he resumed in the morning. It was not my fortune to hour the speaker* <m this ques tion-hut 1 understand several of them were ve ry eloquent. Gentlemen < upnbjo r fjudging, in form me that Mr. Forman nnquitted huusejf most creditably—advocating the bill with power and rare facility, showing that his h' art is right, ami his mind well stored with statesman-like ideas— wiUtalianpy facility of expression. Dr.-Terrell, also, made an admirable address to the Senate, which \» itli that of Mr. Formnn,wa*li«ttnicdtn with great attention by that body, ns well as it numor- ou* ami intelligent umlitory ; both supported the affirmative of the question—as did Mr. Simmons, iu a speech of much originality. Air. Reynold* moved to rnnnnflidor tho hill passed yesterday in tho Home, appropriating two thousand dollars for the construction of n road across the Lcok Oilt iiioimtuiu, which was lost— Yeas 47 Nays 54.

A hill was passed, to iiiithoWzb' the, erection of an Alin* House, and to provide for the poor in tliu L'ouuty olT.uureuw. . To alter ami uncud an act more effectually to quiet and protect the possession dfpewhital prop erty. and to (irevent taking possession by fraud or violence, approved Dec. 545th 1847. To enable sheriff* «aud Coroucr* to fell tract* of land dividnd by County line*. • A number of local bill* were also passed. Among tb* bill* tost, I‘notice one to reduce tbo number of Juatfcc* of tlie Inferior Cotirt—to prescribe their duties and fees,' Ac. In the afternoon tho House passed a bill amen datory of the act of 1845, organizing a Supreme Court, *o far as to declare who may be parties pi tintifl* to write of error. On motion of Air. Pace, the House took up the Senate’* resolutions relative to the Newton County Cavalry, under command’ of CnpU John Loyal of this State, now iu Mexico, which were unanimously agreed to. Tho Committee on the Lunatic Anylnm made a report which was read, and, on motion, 150 copies ordered to bepriuted. Tito above constitutes all the active business of the day of both branches of the General Assem bly that is not of*trictiy local character. At night, the House assembled to read bill* the second time, wheu soldo 50 or GO were read. Nothing else done. This morning, the 10th, Air. Noshit introduced a hill to incorporate the Alacon and Madison Rail Road Company. Mauy other bills lave also been introduced— til for local purpose*. I have just witnessed the speed with which the Legislative mill may work when propelled by a high pressure engine. A bill was yesterday in troduced for the relief of Mary Walker ofCos* county. This morning the rule was suspended that it might be read the second time—it then came up m order for a third reading—was pass ed,—ami immediately sent to the donate. It was to pay the widow, a poor woman, some thirty dollars due her husband. It is to he regretted that much other matter now before the Legisla ture, of less merit, was not disposed of with the like velocity. Afr. Harden introduced a resolution that no new matter should be introduced into the House from and after Wednesday next, the 15th Inst. A resolution was also laid on tin; table, to ad journ sine die on the 24th$inst. If this i* done, they inu.it fire up and increase the speed to that which so rapidly involved the widows bill. Respectfully, Ac., AMANUENSIS. P. S. The Senate are hammering on tho “wo man’s bill.” SAVANNAH^ MONDAY MOItNI.W, DEC. IS. 1*17. fesm 'Of~ ’.r^T7 ^... , . '...." < Jo* \VHUnm.-t' 4*ruicnei l'oin-iriiim, or Aey t.i me (•reck Verb. We took great pleasure some few uionths, since in noticing this ingenious and elegant work. Among tho many systems devised for the pur pose of aiding the student's mind in the acqui sition of difficult knowledge, we know of none more perfect, or more happily arranged than this Key to the Greek Verb. It Is well calculated to ntrike and fix the attention of the scholar, and to he of great assistance to the preceptor in teach ing the Verb. It has other claims, however, bo- side* the useful purposes it is designed to *uh- serve. Ain work of art it is exceedingly beauti ful and ingenious. Tho trees in this orchard, each ono running outtho various derivations of a Greek Verb from tho original tense, are accurate ly arranged and rmint tastefully executed. The book will be an ornament to any classical library, and must lie interesting to every person of liter ary taste. The plates of the trees wore execu ted tcil/t Ihs pen by Mr. W. Thadeus Williams, with marvellous neatness and accuracy, while tho mutoriul was arranged by his brother, Mr. Edwin T. Williams. As the joint work of two of our young citizens, it deserves tho patronage of our community, where such literary enterpri ses are rare, ami wo would bespeak for it the at tention and support of such of our readers as foal interested iu encouraging Kuutiiurn talent, industry, and ingenuity. Copies of the work are now fors.de iu this city at Mr. Cooper’s hook store. The President’s Message. This able paper, whicii wo laid before our rea ders on Saturday, will ho perused with profound interest. It is the masterly effort of a great States man, and presents tho whole policy of the pres ent ndiiiinisfration, the causes ami history, and objects of the war with Mexico, the condition of the country under the operation of tho present Tariff, the Slate of our national treasury nud liuiiiices, and tho character of our relations with foreign governments, in a simple, lucid, and forcible stylo. It furnishes tho liusi* for the action of the Deu.'O irntic party iti the present Congress; and they will, doubtless, hecontrolled by tliu sug gestions it contain:) upon all the leading questions of thu day. Tho President is free iu the expres sion of his views as to thu proper mode of prose cuting the war, and gives thu tpost conclusive ar gument* against thu project utitcrtaiiiod by some, of withdrawing our troop* from tho interior of Uic country, nud defending a line which we may ho pleased to select. He forcibly urges tho fact Unit to hold such a defensive line would require us large an army as to hold all tho conquests we have made. The controlling egotism of Mexi can character would induce that people to regard such a policy as tantamount to a confession of weakness upon our part, and an inability, wheth er from the want of resources or internal dis sensions, it matter* not which, to- prosecute the war zealously and efficiently. More than this, it would furnish them tho opportunity of engaging iu that species, of warfare for which they are bo»t fitted, u guerrilla or border warfare, which they could keep up to the end of time. Ho far ns Mexico is eoncornud, it is exceedingly question able whether such u posture of thing* would uot bo decidedly beneficial to hur; upon thu same principle that thu Physiciun would create an exter nal issue ou the body, for the purpose of with drawing pain and disease from thu vitals. Al though defeated invariably by our nruiies, tho Aluxicaiis are decidedly a tourli/ie people. Wo mean that they think upon war; they study war they have a passion for war. If not directed u- gainst a foreign foe, this passion vents itself in revolutions among themselves, in Htrifu and com motion at home. Should wo undertake to defend a lino, we immediately draw from the heart of the nation this restless materials. Guerilla parties would hover around the posts wo should he com pelled to muinluiu, and indulging themselves iu predatory excursion would cross our lines into the territory wo might claim, and would bo bound to protect. Tho various hands uniting together into largo armies, might attempt to cut tip our garrison* in detail | and if defeated in this, our policy would'not admit of such un invasion of Mexico, in pursuit of them, a* would givo u» re dress or insure freedom from harassment in tho future. In holding the city of Muxico, wo hold the heart of thu country, Thu Mcxicuns are de cidedly u Metropolitan people ; that is to say their affections, their interests, their learning, their wealth, their pride centre upon their capital. A* all France is regarded hut a* the suburbs of Pari*, so all of the territory of Mexico is but thu Ftan- aj»e of the city of Mexico. This ia the character of the people,. u* oontra-diHtiiigui.died from the character of tho Huoich dr the Hwiss who love bust their heaths hud their mountain fastnesses. The Mexicans are,ileeidudly, gregarious iu liiuirdispo- ailioti, and live in town*. This may be occasion ed by their natural tendencies, or by the fact that the distracted state of their country has made it necessary ro/ thein to flock together for mutual safety. The consequence has been that the wealth and oducation of the nation centra in the city of Alexico. The capital of the Aztees se of more consequence in their eye# titan Texas, Cal ifornia, and New Alexico together. That the city of Alexico should fall was one of those things which they reckoned, among impossibilities; the blow must have humbled to a certain extent their inordinate vanity, «"<l to retain it will be the wisest course which can be pursued with a view of bringing them to terms. By doing so, we at ouce retain possession of Alexico, and defend our line, for so long as Mexico is possessed by the Americans, the Alexicon* will never dream of canyingtho war across the Rio Grande. The exposition which the Alessage gives of the increase of revenue for the year 1847, under the present Tariff, over tho revenue of the preceding year under tho Tariff of *42 (that increase being over eight millions fire hundred thousand dollars) and of the comparatively trilling augmentation ofour indebtedness under the expenditures for the Mexican war, is gratifying in the extreme. It speaks volumes for the Free Trade policy of Air. Polk’* administration, and puts forever to rest the senseless carping* of tho opponent* of the war, from the wild calculation* of Daniel Websterdown to the drawling absurdities of the weakest Whig press in the land. We shall take occasion to recur again to this most able State paper. The Democratic Party and Savannah. As tho representations given of the course of promineut members of the Democratic party in the present Legislature ore well calculated to create the impression that they have evinced feelings antagonistic to the interest* of Savannah, \vu deem it our duty to direct the attention ofour leaders to the matter. The main ground of this charge i* tho vote which was given, and the speeches delivered, upon the bill proposing to increase the Capital Htock of the Afarine & Fire Insurance Hank of this city. It will be perceived upon examination, that the discussion arose upon a proposition to iu.;crt in tho bill a clause making the private property of the stock holders liable for thu final redemption of the bills, in proportion to the amount of their Stock. The advocacy of this proposition involved a principle, previously sustained and enforced by the Demo cratic party of tho Slate,and a principle abstractly right, just, and proper in itself, Out it involve'! no feting rf opposition to the icishcs and welfare of S'lcannah. An examination of tin: Journal* and Act* of the Legislature of 1815, will show that the same question was raised in reference to a renewal of the charter of the Hank of Augusta. As tho Democratic party hud a .Senatorial ascen dency in that Legislature, the principle was in corporated into the charter of that institution.— It is; known that the principle ha* ever been a cardinal doctrine with the Democratic party not only of this State, hut of this country. We say that tho principle is abstractly just, right and proper, and who doubts it 7 Iu case a Hank should ho badly managed, bya direction se lected by it* stockholders, and should fail to re deem it* notes in the hands of innocent holders* who should be the sufferers?—tho interested stockholder* who appointed tliu director* and would have been lienofitted by the successful op- .•ration of thu Hank, nr tho bill-holders, who have nothing to gain, every thing to lose,and enjoy no right* or privileges iu tho management of the Hank? It is clear that tho principle should have been incorporated into the charter of every institution of thu kind from thu first inception of Hanking corporations. Tho creatures of the law, they should have been framed and fashioned up on the groat principles of right, justice, and equal ity which cannot be resisted. Ho far an the char ter of the Murine and Fire IiHuraucu Hank is concerned,we are glad that a hill has been passed increasing its capital, and at the same time pla cing it on a fooling with the generality of its sis ter corporation*. Wo arc glad of it, because we need additional Hanking capital hero to meet the requirements of a growing trade. Hut we feel it our duty to place the conduct of those of the member* of the Legislature who lmve met with undeserved censure on this account, in a proper light before the community. Those gentlemen have voted iu accordance with principle, and not to gratify feeling. Had the Marino mid Fire In surance Hank been located at any other point in Georgia, (Augusta, Alacon or Columbus,) and appliud thence for un extension of ita charter or iu capital, their course would have been the same. Thu idea lliut ought of hostility to our own city actuated their couducl is idle and un tenable in the extrema. The same may lie said in reference to their course upon other questions, in which the inter ests of Havaimah are supposed by some to have been greatly involved. To prohibit member* of the Legislature from acting in accordance with their own conviction i of right, and to presumo improper fccliug because they do so, is, upon our part, a most unjust, unreasonable and suicidal policy. A review of Stnto legislation from the first incoption of our great works of internal improve ment, will conclusively show that tho Democratic party of die interior, with that spirit of equal jus tice whiclj distinguishes them, hnva ever sustain ed thd interests and right* of Havannah. They have been systematically and peculiarly tho friends of Savannah. They huvo always stood by her against those interest*, which until very rcceutly, if not even note, have been Carolinian. To speak of them a* anti-Grorgian iu their viuWs and feel ing i* fulso to history. It is an ejfort to force the boot on tlm wrong leg. Vli'Mlnln. Tho General Assembly of Virginia was organ ized on Monday last. Governor Smith’* tucssago is lengthy. lie re commend* tho removal from Virgiuiaof tho froo nogroo* residing there, numbering by the counts ofl 842,49,342. Constituting about l-25lh of the entire population, they, say* he, perpetrate about two-fifth* of the crimes of tho State. After com batting the objection urged that their removal would he cruol and inhuman, rccomiuond* that tliey ho sent to countries where slavery does not exist, particularly to Liberia, if acceptable to her authorities, lie state* that he has received an informal proposition from the island of Trinidad that she will pay Imlf the expenses of ull that may bo sent to lior, as well as assurances from other quarter* that they would cheerfully receive thorn.

Beit further Resolved, That tho present Alay- or and a large majority of tho Aldermen now in power, liuyo had the police regulations of the City of Savannah under their charge for tho last two years, and they are not aware oftho exis tence of any ordinance prohibiting any person residing in or out of tlie city selling tlicii produce, oither cotton or anv other article. Ho it further Resolved, That ire know there is no prohibition, obstacle or restraint,' to prevent planters selling their own produce in tlii* city, and that planter* do dispose of their own cotton daily without restraint. Ho it further Resolved, That a copy of those resolutions bo sent to the President oftho Senate nud Spuukcr oftho House of Representatives of this State, with a request that they bo road to their respective bodies us mulct of justice tu the City of Savanuuh.

The universal success which ha* attended the introduction of Dr. CHRISTIE’S GALVANO- MAGNETIC REMEDIES in the United States, i is believed is without example iu tho annals of Popular Medicine. A great deal of natural pre judice had to bu combated, nnd the general dis trust attendant upon any now discovery to lie subdued; but amid these difficulties, the articles have beeu constantly advancing iu favor, aud for the simple reason, that THEY HAVE BEEN UNIVERSALLY SUCCESSFUL, WHEN EVER THEY HAVEBEEN PROPERLYAND FAITHFULLY TRIED. But many person*— perhaps many thousand*—who could roccivo the most valuable benefit from this discovery, are yet skrptiail regarding its result*, aud it is csjio- ially for the benefit of this class—probably the most respectable class—that certificates and testi monials are presented through the iiicditim of respectable journal*. Every colmim iu this pa per could bo filled with the voluntary statements made by recipients of the benefits conferred by Christie’s (lultanic Articles, and every day the immber of witnesses to their ollicacy is increasing. In all NERVOUS DISEASES their benofitaaro certain and lasting. Tlio following relates to a prevalent and exceedingly painful Atfcctiou: TIC-DOEOltEUX. I make this statement from a sense of duly, and entirely of my own accord: A year last November I was severely nttackcd with Tic Doloreux in tho nerves of my face. The pain was very severe from the first, and gradually increased so that I could scarcely open my mouth, and I was-unable to masticate food of any kind. Tho agony seemed to increase at every change of W. .*: r . •**•/ .* tho weather. My physician, Dr. Huntington, in !?,* 'rhird-ovouue, gave mu .trvclmin nml other power- till remodius, which were of temporary avail; hut after their action subsided, the pain was, if pos sible, more severe than before, I then consulted other physician*, but with no better sttccoiw. At lost I was induced to procure CHRISTIE’S GALVANIC NECKLACE nnd tho MAGNET IC FLUID, und tho result is flint IT HAS EN TIRELY CURED ME. Tho relief was 'nearly immediate; on tho second day I was much better, and by tho end of tho first weok tho disease had entirely vanished.
