tito preamble and
, iposk ofa member of the State
; Waters, n who through "ignoranco or desl
"wantonly" mado allegations injurious to
hah. Now how ‘ouo could through "igno
rance," "wantonly" do a thing, I am yet to learn.
A wanton act hnsbeeu generally supposed to bo,
lu.the House. Mr. Phillips introduced a bill to
appropriate money for tiie political yoars
aud 1840.
Tiie absorbing subject of tho day in this branch,
was the continued discussion of the bill to provide
for the removal of tho scat of Government. Lute
in the afternoon it was put on its passage, and
to.-t by a majority of 13 votes.
On reviewing the journal of the House tins
morning, (tho 15th) I find that the bill to remove
the seat of Government was again tukeu up. Mr.
Jackson of Walton, offered an udditioual section,
to fix the seat of government at Macon or Atlan
ta, as a majority of the people shall determine at
tho next general clccuon ; on which the vote
s'.ood yeas Cl, nays G1-—there being a tie, Mr.
Jenkins the Speaker, voted iu the ulfirmative:
so tho section was received. Several other n-
inenduentswere proposed, some of which were
accepted, and others rejected. The substitute
offered by Mr. Nisbet for tho original bill, provi
ding that the removal shall be to Macon, was then
taken up and received, yeas 81, nays 40. The
bill was read the third time, aui rejected—yeas
65, nays 03. ...
On motion of Mr. Gauhling, tho rosoniuoit ol
Senate to pardon the two female convicts iu the
Penitentiary, was taken up and agreed to.
On motion, Mr. Jonos’ resolution censuring
tho late Gov. G. W. Crawford, for the appoint
ment of Colouels Calhoun and Seymour, was
taken op and read. On agreeing to the same,
the yeas are 43, nays 73; so the resolution was
rejected.
An attempt was this morning made to recon
sider tho removal bill, but received a Buena I'ista
repulse. So that mutter is settled for the pres
ent, at least.
The General Assembly has just elected a direc
tor for tho State of the Bank State of Georgia.
Mr. Hirain Roberts received 1)3 votes, und .Mr.
John Boston 74—a few blanks. .Mr. Roberts
was therefore elected.
It is snowing most beautifully.
Respectfully, vours,

Apart from this absurdity, their conduct is not
ouly marked by want of polioy, but is an absolute
folly. VA Mr. Waters" as they have.termed him.
is a high minded, holiest man, and nu influential
member orthe Senate. If ho haxdono injustice
to Savannah, it has boen through inadvertence.—
No one who knows him, willTteliovo with your
Board of Aldermen tltat ho is capable of an act of
wanton injustice. What a precious set yon have
in your Board of Aldermen,what admirable guur-
dians of tho publiewcal! Instead of conciliating,
they attempt to brow boat, aud seek to insult the
Senate, by assailingotio ono of its most pophlnr
members. Could they not have repolled injustice
without perpetrating it 1 Could they not have
corrected misapprehension without affording to
thp enemies of tho city, tho strongest proof of
tho truth of their hccusatiou. This official act of
your Board, founded not on tho journals of the
Legislature, but upon tho nuonymous correspon
dence ofa newspaper, while it murders the Eng
lish language,is in violation oftlie plainest dictates
of common sense, aud the most ordinary policy.
At a tiiuo when their city is asking legislation at
tho hands of the Sohato they ••wantonly", create
an issue between themselves and one of the most
influential members of that body. As if to perpe
trate their folly in the most enduring form, and
to leave no doubt of their want of policy, they re
quest two geutlemeutVom Augusta, the President
-of tho Senate, and the Speaker of tho House of
Representatives to place their olficial net before
their respective Bodies, “//i fourae" they would n't
do "uny thing r/sc." Should tiie application of tiie
Marine Bank for an increase of Capital, or any
other measure lroiu your city foil, tho responsi
bility must rest upon the heads of your liiunici-
S al guardians. So much for your Board of Al-
crinoiiand “a Mr. Waters." Poor Savannah!
when will her destinies be confided to more judi
cious cuunscls!
Another subject claims a passing notice. At a
porion when the charge is urged with pertinacity
against Savannah, of eiidaavorin^ to monopolize
all power to herself, the Board of Aldermen pass
resolutions calling upon the Legislature to alter
tho charter of the Central Rail Road for the pur-
Ijy 7!i» Savannah Shipping anil Commercial
List mil he ready for delivery This Morning at 11
o'clock. Orders for extra copies mull he left by DJ
o'clock.
Melancholy Accident.
Lost ovening at dusk, Mr. Edward Bradshaw,
of Bristol, England, second officer of tho British
ship Syria, lying at Messrs. Andrew Low & Co’s
wharf, was precipitated from the niizen cross-
treo upon deck by tho fall of tho top-mast, and
killod instantly. An imprest will be held upon
the remains this morning.
Rati Roml Meeting.
We cannot but express sincere gratification at
the resolution of our citizens ns evinced at the
nicotingyesterday, tho proceedings of which will
be found inour columns. Wo were not sorry to
find a|resolutionfor postponement introduced, in
asmuch as it elicited the views of soveral whose
advocacy confirmed our owu long cherished
viows of tho policy of our city aiding with energy
ill tho construction of the contemplated Rail
Road through South-westorn Georgia.
It has for years been our wish to see the rich
cotton region of our State connected with our
city, and wo now sanguiucly anticipate that tho
day is not distant when our hopes will be accom
plished.
Thoso who advocated postponement aro not
opposed to the Road, hut tho adoption of their
motion would, we fear, havo been so construed
abroad, a construction much to bo deprecated.
Many interesting fuels might ho embodied hero,
did our limited editorial spaco permit.
Suffice it to say, that Savannah is embarked ill
this work with a proper spirit, and in a very few
years it will be seen whether her commercial ad
vantages are to yield to the assumption of a pow,
pose ofgiving to themselves a controlling power orful rival.

These gouilemon ought to know, that tho pro
vision ol the charter which protects individual
stockholders from tho mammoth power of the
Corporation stockholder wus tho very provision
which induced the individual stockholder to in
vest his money. What person in his seines
would have expended his money in the purchase
ofstock, to he controlled by the city authorities
of Savannah! Such an alteration ol the charter at
tliis time would lie a violation of the vested rights
of all the other stockholders, to unswer tho be
hests of the Mayor and Aldermen of your City.
The modesty of this movement may be apprecia
ted by a single consideration. Various persons
enter into a contract under the form ofa charter,
aiiiougilie provit ious of which, is a regulation a*
to the number of votes which each • shall rcspec-
pcctivcly have. One oftheso stockholders mod
estly usks from tho Legislature a violation oft nt
contract, and without the iisscut of his associates,
that an alteration be liiiidc iu it to bis own favour
and to their injury. An act thus unjust,were it pos
sible to obtain for it legislative sanction would re
ceive its quietus in a court of Justice. Such urc
the “uutics” of men “drest m a little brief uutlior-
ity.”
But little news here. The House has been eu-
gaged iu tiie last two days, oil the subject of re
moving the seat of government. Tha majority
are for removal, but in tho contest between At
lanta aud Mucou, the question of removal itself
is jeoparded. Tho advocates lor Mucou propose,
a< a condition prior to removal to deposit in Bank
$11)0,000, to the creditor the construction of pub-
1 c buildings in that place. It is understood Chut
they) ire also willing to iucufpurate in the Bill a stip
ulation that a junction of the Contraband Mucon
& Western Rail Koadk shall take place.
Your Senator and Mr. Clark aro warmly in fa
vor of the Macon movement. Mr. Bartow is os
zealously opposed to removal from Miliedgcville.
HARRY HOMESPUN.
P. S. Since writing the above, I learn that it
has bceu decided by a tiual vote, that the seat of
government shall remain ut Milledgeville as anti
cipated above; the division os to what point it
should bo moved, killed the bill. A reconsidera
tion will be moved for to-morrow morning, but
the impression is that it will not he carried.

In connexion with this subject we arc highly
gratified to state that tiie stockholders of the line
from Savannah to Now York have concluded to
construct two boats, to he commenced without
delay, and bo completed by the first of Septem
ber next.
They will be 210 feet long, 35 feet wide, and
2*3 feet deep. Their tonuugu will he over 1200
tons, and they will cost $170,001) each.
Tho Northerner is 290 foot long, 33 feet wide,
and 224 feet deep, and her tonnage a little more
than 1000 tons.
We therefore will have boats of less draught of
water, aud yet of greater tonnage.

Messrs. Editors—The Bill for the payment of
the e'ainw ol'Poter Trezev*it passed the House of

Bctlmue, O. II. Kenan, Bailey ofButt*. Phillips,

In the Senate the Wilkes County Rail Road bill
has passed by an immense majorty. The bill for a
Rail Rond between Atlanta & Wi st Point is be
fore them,and will pass undoubtedly. During the
debate Williamson of Newton was stronger in
his allegations uguiust Savannah, than Waters of
Jasper had been Home days since. The latter gen
tleman only spoke oftlie usuul course of business,
as lie understood from report, in Savannah; the
funner said “that by the regulations no man
could sell his cottou, and he could prove it"—
Your Board of Aldcrmuii should Imvo another
meeting und castigate Gen. Williamson. Will
they doit? Hope not. In the course of tho de
bate Mr. Foriuuu read tiio preamble and res
olutions of the Savuunuh Aldermen, nud iu his
remarks in relation to them “he made the feath
ers fly." This gentleman hus been throughout
the session, a warm advocate of Savannah. It
was iu reply to Gen. Williamson’s remarks a-
gainst that city, that he put it to tho Aldermen,
lie did it, he said, for the purpose of preventing
the odium that belonged to the Council being visi
ted ou the people ol -the city. -
Your Senator is zealous lor tho interests ofyotir
city, und does all he can do to promote them.—
Great eflbrts are m iking by the|ijiidicious advo

man nro forcnioU among those advocates.
1 do not believe that an uttempt will be mado to
carry ut the Resolutions of your City Council,
in relation to the alteration of the charter of tho
Ccutrol Rail Road. I should hate to be tho one,
to make the attempt before the Legislature.

Judge Nicoll then rore mi l opposed the mo- j
tion for postponement in n highly iiHtructive and i
elo'itient adorcM. He saw nothing in this pro* i
position which looked to future taxation. >Vo !

COMMERCIAL.
AUGUSTA, Dec. 14—Cotton—In our umrkit
the pa*t week opened quietly, and on Thursday
and Friday the market flagged, hut on Saturday a
stock for South Western Rail Road stock, and j Havana. ^ ov -'
LATEST DATES. I more speculative feeling existed and sales were
S ?!;vwi«r<i»y «n,i
thus to increase the value of so much oftlie for
mer stock as wo retained, and in doing thi* we
opened a communication with the west,,which
would secure to us, immense commercial advan
tages.
Judge Nicoll was followed by Col. Joseph W.
Jackson, who stated in a strong and feeling man
ner tho immediate necessity which devolved up
on Savannah to Join iu thi# enterprise, and se
cure the trade nf the South West. He wus op
posed to any further taxation, hut did not see how
this measure would produce it.
After some further discussion in which Messrs.
Locke. Weed, Cowles, Dunning and others took
part, the question w.is put on Major Porter’s mo
tion to postpone indefinitely, and the motion was
lost.
Solomon Cohen, Esq., then moved the follow
ing amendment to Mr. Locke’s resolution :
And provided ulso that said stock shall,;iiot he
traiislbreed until $500,009 shall have been sub
scribed, and ono half thereof expended on the
Road. .
A further amendment was moved by Mujor
Porter, ns follows:
Aud provided also that said South Western
Road shall connect with the Central Road at Ma-
Tornado.
A Montgomery (Ala.) correspondent writes:—
“Wo have had a dreadful tornado aud flood. All
the streams arc full and overflowing. Much dnm<
ngu from the former, which wus about half a mile
wide, to houses, mills, &c. &c. The lluutsville
road is blocked up for inilus. Many persons
crippled, but no loss of life.” Tho Journal states
thnt Mr. Keener’s saw-mill, dwelling and out
houses in Autauga county, were prostrated.
U. S. Senator.
There have been twelve hnllotings in the Ain
kama Legislature for U. S. Senator.
Result of the 12th—Lewis 53, King 23, Hop
kins 47.
There were two more ballotings with the same
result, on Saturday.
Ou Monday a correspondent writes its:—After
thc2ud ballot to-day, (17th) Hon. W. R. King’s
name was withdrawn, uud on 4th bnilot Hon. D.
II. Lewis was duly elected—Lewis 64, A. F.
Hopkins 34.
3 O’CLOCK, V. M.
The Convention met pursuant to adjournment,
Dr. 11. K. Burroughs being absent, Hou. Jno.
C. Nicoll was invited to act as chairman.
Mr. Anderson's resolutions, which were pend
ing nt the adjournment, being duly seconded,
came up fur action.
Hon. C. J. McDonald proposed to add the fol
lowing proviso :
Provided, the preferred stockholders consent
to pay ratenhly from the dividends on their stock,
the interest on the said seven percent bonds.
The proposition, having been seconded, was
discussed at length uud lost.
The question recurring ou tho original resolu
tions, they were carried.
Pending the consideration of these resolutions,
Dr. II. K. Burroughs appeared und took the
Chair.
S. C. Dunning, Esq., offered tho following res
olution:
lies ol red. That tho President of the Central
Rail Road Sc Banking Company he requested iu
behalf of the stockholders, to apply to the Legisla
ture to amend the charter of the Cotnpauy, so ar
to permit stockholders having scats iu the direc
tion of other hanks in tho city, to bo elected di
rectors of this Compuny.
The resolution was seconded, nud on motion
laid on the table. George F. Tultnan of New
York, by his Representative, W. B. Johnston,Esq.
protested against the subscription to the South
western Hull Road. Hon. C. J. McDonald also
protested.
Tho resoluion laid on tho tablo by Mr. Cuyler
in tho morning, was called up, seconded aud cur
ried.
The Convention then adjourned sine die.
II. K. BURROUGHS, Chairman.
RoBF.nT II. Griffin, Secretary.
Tho question was then taken on Mr. Locke's
resolution, with the amendments offered by Mr.
Coheu and Major Porter, and tho resolution so a-
mended was passed by a large majority.
On motion of Mr. Cohen it wus Resolved, that
those proceedings be published in tho Gazelles ol

Proceedings ofn Public Meeting of the Citizens
oT Savannah In rotation to the South-western
Ituil lloml.
The meeting was called to order by requesting
the Hon. II. K. Burroughs, Mayor oftlie city, to
take the chair, uud appointing Alex. R. Lawton,
Esq., Secretary.
nSiu (Minimi'
Tiie Chairman stated that the object of the
meeting was to receive uny proposition which the
Commissioners of tho South-western Rail Road
had to tnuke to the citizens of Savuuuah, und to
take any action thereon, which they might deem
proper.
Elaui Alexander, Esq., of Macon, on behalf of
the Commissioners, stated briefly tiie proposition
they hud to tuuke.
Whereupon, tho following resolution wus offer
ed hy J. L. Locke, Esq.
Rejoiced, That tiie Honorable, tho Mayor nml
Aldermen of the city of Savannah be, and aro
hereby requested, whenever individuals slinll sub
scribe the sum of $250,000 bona fide to tho stock
of tho Southwestern Rail Road Company,to sub
scribe iubehulf of the city ofSuvannuti, for stock
iu said company, to the umuiiut of 250,000 : Pro
vided tliis subscription can bo made payable iu
stock ofthc Central Rail Road & Banking Com
pany of Georgia ut par, and on terms which tho
City Council of Savannah may deem to bejudi-
cious.
On this resolution much discussion arose, and
it was both advocated and opposed with a great
deal of warmth nml strength. Major Porter, af
ter expressing himself warmly in favor of tho
project, suggested that tho time had not cornu
for the city of Savanuuhto act in this matter.—
Tho Central Rail Road had moved, nml we ought
to wait for some uction in Macon and tiie coun
try beyoud. lie tiieu moved an indefinite po*t-
poiiemerit of tho subject.
This motion was seoouded by Col. Williams,
who was opposed to any step which might re
quire additional taxes ou tiie city. He thought
the enterprise a worthy one, but should be sus
tained by iiidiciitual subscription.
