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, ’ Amanuensis. 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.

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. in tho management ol that work! The legislature should, in our opinion, aid in MILLEDGEVILLE, Doc. 15. PF Gentlemen:—In tho Suuutu, the reconsidered bill of the House to repeal tin not to incorporate tiie town of Brunswick, passed 2‘Jth Dec., 183G, was read and pursed. Mr. Hunt introduced a resolution requesting the Governor to appoint a committee of three, to enquire into the state of education iu Georgiu.tiic operation of the present Poor School law, and to recommend such alterations as they may deem ex pedient.

AMANUENSIS. in the 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. Central Roll Road-Meeting of tjiopkliuldent' SAVANNAH, Dec. 15. 1847.

Kenan, Bailey ofButt*. Phillips, Bartow, Gartrcll, Reynolds and Jenkins.— Those who spoke against it were Jones. Jackson of Walton amt Samlford of Green. The ablest speeches for the hill, were those of Jenkins, Bailey und Gurtrell. That of Jackson was the a- blest’ugainci it. 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 cates ofSavuimuh to save her from her friends the Mayor and .Gdermem Mr. Snider aud Mr. For* 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.

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.

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.

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. Applications received by fob1 ly- W. P. HUNTER, Agent. PROTECTION INSURANCE COMPANY OF IIARTFOUD, CONN.
