MILLEDGEVILLE, Doc. 17, (at uight.)
Goutleraeat On motion of Mr. Cochran, tho
Sonata rocotuidered tho bill puusod voulerday, to
incorporate the Went 1’oint and Atlunta lluil
Road Company.
Mr. Dimn^au laid on tho tublo the following
proteat, to wit t
With due respect to the opinion* of othor Sen
ator*, the undesigned, regards tho provisions
inserted into cortaiu bill* passed by tho Senate
granting corporation*, as dangerous Infractions
of the Constitution of tho Statu. For that the
provisions alluded to, gives the power to corpo
rate authoritiesjto pas* their by-laws, and clothos
their corporators with the power to inflict Hue*
for the violation of their by-laws. Tho under-
elgnod protests against tho assumption of such
power oy the Legislature, as n violation of the
Constitution of the Stato, which is spociflc on
' this subject, and which says the Superior Courts
•hall have exclusive jurisdiction in all criminal
cases (with certain exceptions) and only gives
criminal jurisdiction to corporateCourts which aru
held iu seaport towns, or port* of entry. If
these words, to wit; "being asoaport town, or
port of eutry, J ’wera stricken from the Constitu
tion, then, and not till thou, the Legislature might
grout the power to corporation Court* to exor
cise criminal jurisdiction,for crimes which do uot
subject tho offender to loss of life, limb or mom-
bar, or confinement iu tho Penitentiary. Till
this is done, the Legislature cannot grunt the
powor to any towu, or body politic not being a
"seaport towu, or port ofeutry," to impose tines,
or inflict puuishuieut iu any way, for offences
against the law* of tho Statu. If tho Legislature
cannot grout tho power to corporations to inflict
fines for tho violation of laws passed by the Leg
islature—surely tho Legislature caunot grant tho
power to corporators to arrest person* and inflict
tiims. far the, violation of their municipal laws,
passed by such corporations.
The undcrsigiiml consider* it a monstrous vio
lation of correct principles, us well ns of the
Constitution, to subject tho liberties of free and
independent citizens to bo iulringcd by the un
certain and fluctuating laws of irresponsible cor
porations. JAS. DUNAGAN.

tiro following for your informutiou:
A bill to make it the duty of tiro Treasury Coin-
mittec to investigate and report the comfii'mii of

thrown the almqst.eutirp supplies of an Invading
army, thousands -of'‘miles along a stormy coast,
and ovpr mountntnout-roads, i Ql ° the heart of
tho enemy’s territory.. ■ It wgs through Mr. Poll*’*.
fUult that Gen. Taylor was {breed to remain 1 at
Monterey and Saltillo, yet Geti. Taylor hollered
arid had doclarcd that tiro road' to Satt Luis was
Impracticable. Mr. Polk deprived Gou Taylor
of u large portinu Of liis ooimuahd of regular*!
ami sent them to Vorn Cruz. Yet it was by Gen.
Scott’s order that this was done. Mr. Polk hnd
endeavored to throw tiro war-worn hero into the
shade. Yet tiro march from Vera Cruz to -tiro
city of Mexico frilly vindicates tiro souudneBS of
his judguiout in seuding Scott into tho field. Mr.
Polk delayed the progress of tiro army towards
the capital by discharging the old volunteers at
Jalapa. Yet Genoral Scott hud doue it; without
tiro knowledge, it may bo without tiro appro
bation of tiro President. Time aud again has
he been assailed for leaviug our oauiy weak und
iu danger, and yet iuvuriubly has it como out tri
umphant.
Never has man's conduct and measures been
tjiord fully vindicate^ by their cousequeuces and
effects, tliauhave Mr. Polk’s in tiro conduct of the
war with Mexico. These ideas have been sug
gested to us by takiug up a Whig paper of 1840
iu which tho President is abused, aiuoiig other
things, for tho appointment oftlio General olficers
of the volunteer force, and is scornfully advised
to go to the fiold and to assume the commntid of
those men of straw himself. IIow strangely does
such a paragraph roud at tho present day. Among
tho most conspicuous heroes of the war nro the
vory mou of straw so greatly denounced and ridi
culed by the Whig Pros*. Tiro papers uro full of
their praises; they huve behaved like veterans iu
battle; they are presented with swords by Legis
lative bodies; they uro greeted with the unbound
ed enthusiasm of all purties as they return to their
homes; and one of the most distinguished corps
(if not tiro most so) iutiro whole army, is the llillo
Regiment, iu which every officer was appointed
by the President. In tho triumph of his Generals
Mr. Polk hns triumphed. For as ho would huvo
been held responsible for. the defeat of our ar
mies at tiro Rio Grande, Monterey, Buena Vista,
ami along tiro whole lino from Vera Cruz to
Mexico, for tiro imbecility of his appointees and
tho deficiency of forces and supplies, he has tri
umphed in the victories of the army, and the glory
of its generals.

Oue bv Mr. Moore, to purdou Wiu. L. Wil-
I uhu of Richmond county.
Mr. Pollt’it General*.
Front the moment of his nomination by the
Baltimore convention down to the present time,
Mr. Polk’s enreer has been a triumphal murch.
Tho “Jimmy Polk” of Federal detraction became
tho chosen President of a largo majority of tho
American pcoplo. He entered upon the duties
of his exalted station with a calmness and dignity
which huvo forced n reluctant acknowledgment
from his most embittered opponents. Every
great measure to which ho stood pledged has
been triumphuutly curried out. A free trade
tarilf, adopted under his administration, has
ditfused n brpad sunlight aver all tho industrial
pursuits of tho uation, warming them into a re
newed lifo and vigor, and at tho same tiino in
creasing tho revenue of the government by seve
ral millions of dollars. Tho Oregon question,
witii all its attending dilliculties, bus been most
sutisliictorily settled, and tiro only cuttso of prob
able war with England forever removed. Texas
•in accordanco with tho expressed wishes of thu
American pcoplu—has been annexed, und is
now a blooming sister iu our gruut family of
States. Tiro ability which has been displayed by
the national Executive, iu reference to ull of these
important matters, has bucu such as to render
Mr. Polk’s administration one of tho most bril-
liutit in our whole history. Tho wisdom and sa
gacity displayed in the selection of his cabinet, tho
entire hurniony which bus existed between him
self nnd its various members, tho distinguished
ability which has been displayed by each iu his
respective department, are ull of thorn indicative
of tho fact that Mr. Polk has been a successful
President.
It is chiefly,however,iu respect to tho warwith
Mexico that wo speak of him as a triumphant
President. There he has, indeed, triumphed;
brilliantly over tiro enemies of tiro country n-
broad, completely over liis political opponents at
home. The victories won by our guUunt armies
will ull lend splendor to Mr. Polk’s administration.
It is true that bo has not commanded the forces
of the nation in person on the field, but he bus
so controlled tho movements and operations of
tiro army as to produce tho glorious results which
the world has witnessed with amazement. Our
Generals have triumphed, most gloriously tri*
utnphed, uud now the Federal detractors of the
President seem to have forgotten tiro fact that
every incipient move towards tiro brilliant con
summation, was charged upon him ns a gross,
shameful, und ruinous error. It was by his fault
that General Tuylor was caught by Auipudia up
on the hanks of tiro Rio Grande with a handfull of
men, although no limit of tiro army from the com
manding General down to the humblest private
in tho mules, anticipated attack frum the Mexi
cans. Gen. Tuylor, himself, hud announced a
sufficiency of strength to take possession of tiro
country to tiro buuk* of the Rio Grande, nnd Gen.
Worth Imd left the scene of action upon the oVo
of unengagement which ho would not have miss
ed for tiro gratification even of a mortified pride.
Yotitwo* tiro President’s ignorance and reckless
ness which had thrown a devoted army into the
Lion’s jaws. Tho brilliant battles of Palo Alto
and Rosacu do la Palnm were fought, and iu tiro
victories achieved, tiro President triumphed.—
Gen. Tuylor had been correct iu tiro views ho
had taken of his stato of preparation, and tiro Pre
sident Imd wisely based liis own action upon
those views.
Gen. Taylor was appointed a Major General,
aud tho Army in Mexico was greatly increased.
Complaints wore made at home that forces enough
wore not sent to his aid, yet tiro Rio Grande was
fringed with Rugiment* of Volunteers, putting
theinsolves in readiness to meet tiro cnlls which
might lie made upon then;—and tiro Command
ing General was perfectly content with tho ad
ditions to his force. Because, in a week’s notice,
the supplies requisite for the army were uot trans
ported, as if by inugic, into tiro bosom of au ene
my’s country, the Whigs wero indignant against
tiro President, und he wns held responsible for
tho difficulties of distance, tho dangers of navi
gation, uud tiro defects existing in the Quurter
Master's Department of n Peace establishment.
Yet the result has uhawu that never did Gov-
ornnieut display greater activity, zuul and eu.
orgy in the prosecution of war in u distant re
gion, thun has Mr. Polk’s administration iu
conducting tiro war with Mexico, and the
admiration of tiro worhl will be excited scarcely
to a greater degreo by our brilliant victories, thun
by the immense power uud energy which have
m
date of tirolrnmuber^p aj^y that "their tioul* were
their own!” tho leapt tfjectionable candidate (
Tell it in tho streots and from the house-tops, that
“the least objectiouablsoandldato" the Southern
Wliigs could find fifr SMakor was Wliithrop,
the father of WUmAt’s proviso, and lot Southern
men, of all partios, comjxiro the opiniotis of

Mr. Calhoun submitted tho following resolu
tions,, whioh wore ordered to be printed:
Resolved, That to conquer and hold Mexico,
either ns a province or incorporating it into the
Union, is inconsistent with the avowed'object of
the WaY, . contrary to the settled policy of the
Government, in conflict witii its character and
geniim, and, in the end, must be subversive of all
our freonutl popular institutions.
Resolved, That no line of policy in tiro further
prosecution of the war should bn adopted which
muy tend to couBequuncea so disastrous.
The report of tiro superintendent of tiro coast
survey was ordered to ho printed.
In tiro Houso Mr. Vinton’s resolution for rais
ing standing committees ou foreign commerce,
&c., was discussed.
Pending tills debuto, a message was received
from tiro President, which expressed his objec
tion, at great - length, to tiro River and Harbor
Bill, passed at the lust session of Congress, hut
nut sigued by the President.
Mr. Wentworth moved that tho said messsngo
bo referred to thu committee ou commerce.
Mr. Vinton was in favor of asoleclcomuiitteo,
Mr. Iluralson of Georgia, duoming tho dis
cussion premature, moved that -tho messago ho
laid on tiro table and printed.
Mr. Buyly of Virginia, Mr. A. Stewart of
Pennsylvania, und Mr. Scheuck of Ohio, follow
ed.
Ttic Truo (.round.
The following resolutions of Mr. Dickinson,
the substance of which wo gave to our readers
yesterday, lays down tiro truo ground of Demo
cratic policy iu reference to tiro Mexicuu war.
Resolved, That true policy requires the govern
ment of the United States to strengthen its politi
cal uud commercial relations upon this continent
by the annexation of such contiguous territory us
may couducu to that end, uud can ho justly ob
tained; and that neither in wtieh acquisition, nor
iu tho Territorial organization thereof, can any
conditions be constitutionally imposed, or institu
tions he provided for or established, inconsistent
with tiro right of thu pcoplu tiroruofto form a free
sovereign State with the powers aud privileges of
the original ’member* of the confederacy.
Resolved, That in organizing a Territorial gov
ernment from territory belonging to tiro Uiutcd
States, tho principles of snlf-goverimiuut upon
which our federative system rests, will bo best
promoted, tiro true spirit and meaning oftlio con-
stitutiou best observed, uud the confederacy
strengthened, by leaving all questions concerning
tiro domestic policy therein to tiro legisluturos
chosen by tho people thcruof.
Proceeding, os these resolutions do, from a
Northern Democrat, assuming broadly aud firmly
tiro constitutional ground, thrown before the Con
gress of tiro liutiou nt tiro commencement ofu most
interesting, und perhaps a tempestuous session,
defining us they must lutvu been intended to de
fine, tiro position of a large majority of tiro
Northern Democracy ou the Wiluiot Proviso,they
present u confirmation strong ns could be desired
oftlio fact that tiro Democratic party of tiro North
are true to the constitution und tiro Union, and
that tiro course of their representatives in Cou-
gross will reflect tiro views and feelings of their
constituents ns already expressed in tho proceed
ing of their meetings and tiro columns of their
Journals. While wo point to theso resolutions
with a just pride, we turn with equal indignation
to tiro course of Southern Whigs, among them
Representatives from our own State, iu tiro elec
tion oftlio present Speaker of tiro House, Mr.
Wliithrop. Wo had been told that Southern
Whigs wero as hostile as Southern Democrats to
Wiluiot, nnd Wilmot’s proviso. Nay, tiro tone
und temper of tiroir papers had seemed to indi
cate iu the former a degree of opposition to
tiro odious measure and its supporters which
already contemplated an angry dissolution of tiro
Uniou. The idea of supporting a Proviso man
for prominent office had apparently been most
abhorrent to them. Ami yet their Representa
tives iu Congress, (Messrs. Toombs, Stephens,
and Jones from our own State,) have not hesita
ted to throw their votes (or Winthrop of.Massa
chusetts. for the high, responsible, and command
ing position of Speaker oftlio Houso. Winthrop
of Massachusetts, not ouly an urdcut, uncompro
mising advocate of Wilmot’s Proviso, but tlro/ii-
thr.r of tiro Proviso itself; the originator of the
odious idea which is now shaking our constitu
tion to its centre; from whom Wiluiot himself
has " stolen the thunder" which threatens, accord
ing to Southern Whig cant, to dash our Union
into atoms. They have placed him by their votes
iu a commanding positiuu, whence lie can give
influence to liis own political followers in a thous
and different ways, aud whero lie has already ex
erted the power in the formation of the Committee
on Territories. From this committee must pro
ceed tiro Wiiiuot Proviso—and upon this commit
tee are six from nou-slave-holdiug, and throo
from slave-holding Suites. Tho majority or that
committee wifi report fiivorably upon tiro Wiluiot
Proviso, and Soutirorn Wliigs will stand respon
sible for electing a Speaker, who has appointed
a committee that will recommend the Proviso,
which, if susUtined by Congress, will drive the
South from tiro pale oftlio Union.
But it is whined by some of their papers that
Mr. Winthrop was "tiro least objectionable" can
didate ! The least objectionable candidate !! And
Ims it indeed and in so brief a time come to this)
Is it by so pitiful a subterfuge as this that South
ern Whigs will endeavor to escape tiro odium of
broken pledges, and corrupt conduct on tiro part
of tiroir Representatives/ What prevented these
gentlemen from selecting one oftiicir own number
as a candidate for tiro ollice of speaker / What
preveuted it, we ask. Nothing but the fact that*
a Whig caucus laid fixed upon Mr. Winthrop.
Rather than break with tho Whig party by nom
inating u Soutirorn Whig, and culling upon uuti-
Wilmot men to support him, they servilely bow
ed to tiro purty yoke, and cast tiroir vote's for a
Wiluiot man. Are those tiro representatives of
tho party whoso papers have so loudly bluster
ed of Soutirorn patriotism and a dissolution of
the Uniou 7 Men who have uvowed themselves
ready to destroy the union to resist tho proviso,
cannot break tiro bonds of party for the sumo*
purpose. So fur from being ready uud willing
to Hiipporta Democrat on tiro ground of oppo.
silion to the Wiluiot proviso, alter having pro
claimed time aud again that this, this, this is the
question paramount to all purty considerations,
they have allowed the originator of tiiut odious
measure to bo caucitsctl upon them, niidhuyo not
dared, by resisting tiro nouiinutioii with a candi-

And whereas, the prosperity, felicity, snfety, and

This is one oftlio very prevalent complaints pe
culiar to our climate, and is certainly umoug tiro
most painful and agonizing to which humanity U
subject. Many uro tiro ‘remedies’ o fie red fur its
cure, though few uro such in reality. But it is
believed that a cure for Rheumatism does exist,
mid that lens of thousands now suffering, uud des
pairing of relief, might obtain positive and per
manent exemption from this dreadful disease.
The following certificate, which luni lately been
received, will enable the ulllictcd to judge for
EXTRAORDINARY CASE,
und for tiro satisfaction of tiro incredulous, it has
been uttesled before the Mayor of the city:
••1 hereby certify, that for tiro past thirteen years,
I have been severely ufflictcd with attacks of
Rheumatism, principally iu tiro hands uud limbs,
accompanied with great stillness of all tiro joint*.
Sometimes tiro pain has been so groat that I have
been unable to move, and uiy general health was
almost completely destroyed. I was troubled
with low spirits, my brniu was seriously affected,
mid tiro iucessuut aud severe pains I had often en
dured, made me repeatedly wish for uu end ofiny
sufferings by death. I think no lumimi being can
imagine my tortures. For reliel'I tried every
thing—nil my earnings went to tiro doctors. In
tiro various ports of Europe to which I suilud, I
sought medical advice, anil was for a considerable
time under the cure oftlio most celebrated physician
iu Liverpool, biitlrodid uro no good. Ou my arri
val ill New York, last September, l was obliged to
leave my ship, as I was unable to wullc a step
without assistance, and iu other respects was iu a
dreadful situutiou with tiro renewed attacks. 1
was taken to the City Hospital, and put under the
euro of Dr.' Moses mid Dr. Hotiuiuii, uud some
other physicians of tiro Hospital for the space of
six weeks, but, ils I only got worse, I was taken to
tiro Seamen’s Hospital ut Staten Island, where 1
was several weeks undergoing u process of mer
cury.—This nearly killed me, mid the doctors told
me I must soon die. As I Imd read tiro advertise
ments of Dr. CIIRISTIEiu tiro newspapers, uud
the great cures that were said to be made by his
Galvanic Articles, I determined ns a lust hope to
send to tiro officu aud gut some. Ou stating my
case, tiro Galvuuic Bauds for tiro wrists and limbs
mid tho Mugnetic Fluid were recommended.
The pcoplu ut tho Hospital laughed at me forget
ting them, and told uro not to show them to the
doctors. I put them ou mid used tiro Fluid. For
tiro first few hours I felt no cliuuge, but tiro nuxt
morning tiro stiffness in my limbs Imd decreased,
and tiro pain was less; by night I felt better iu
evury respect, mid iu I Ass than two weeks 1 left
tiro Hospital entirely cured. Since tlmt time,
which is more tlmu a year, I have been to tiro
West-Iudies.aud thence to Antwerp, iu Hollnud,
und during nil that time I have had no attack what
ever of Uliuumutism, or any other pain, uud my
lieidth 1ms beuu perfect in every respect, though !
have been exposed to ull viicssituues of climate.
From being so weak tlmt I could hardly stand, 1
huvo become as strong uud healthy us at any
period of my life, and I firmly believe that
these Imppy und wonderful results have been ac
complished solely by tiro power of Dr. CHRIS
TIE'S Galvuuic ‘Bunds mid MagucticFliiid.

CHARLESTON, Dec. IS—Cotton.—Tiro Up
land market was very quiet on Friday Iasi, when
we closed our inquiries, us indeed it Imd been
throughout the day. A telegraph despatch was
received ut our office at mi early hour, hut us noth
ing beyond this simple fact was communicated,
tiro trade, us stated iu our former report, seemed
to come to u tacit understanding to await further
developments, us only 100 bales were sold during
the day. On Saturday lust, u synopsis of the ac
counts cuiue to hand, but this did not satisfy deal
ers, as there was no disposition evinced ou the
ouu hand to buy, or on tiie other to sell, aud tiro
day passed ofi'quietly—sales only 180 bales. Tho
non-arrival of tiro Northern Mail on Monday,
doubtless exercised a strong influence iu checking
operations on thut day; ouu or two purchasers,
however, were iu attendance ou the market, soiuu
600 bales wero sold, mid ut the close of business
there was udecided buoyancy iu prices. Tiro de
tailed advices by tiro steamer reached us ou Tues
day; and wero on tiro whole, considered favorable;
which taken ill connexion with thu great deficien
cy iu the receipts, tiro limited supply iu tiro hands
of factors, and, we might add, mu existence of
some demand for the urticle, have materially ad
vanced prices. During the day upwards of 1500
bules were taken by purchasers, ut uu improve
ment of Jc. on the prices current at tiro close of
tiro previous week. On Wednesday, a good de
mand also prevailed, but there was a stringency
iu tiro demand of sellers that did not suit the views
of buyers, mid the transactions wero limited to
700 bales; finding it, however, impossible to pro
ceed with their orders, they came to torm* on
Thursday, and J1UU bales wero sold ut even a
greater advance than that noticed above. Yester
day between 11 ami 1200 bales were sold nt tiro
Jrifi rates of tiro preceding day, and when wo closed
our inquiries an advance ofjj to .jc. Imd been
established on tiro prices current when wo made
up our former report. There has been very
little common Cotton on salu ami the operations
have consequently run almost solely outlie mid
dling fuirami fully fair grades. We quote middling
fiiir 73; mid lair und fully fair 75 miu tie. Tiro re
ceipts of tiro week reach 3005 bales, uud tiro sales
in the same tiiuo^conipriso 4674 bales. We have
no transactions to report iu Long Cottou.
Ilicc—The Rice market, which at tiro close of
tiie previous week was reported as being very lan
guid, Im* since experienced a positive reduction.
A fair business was done iu the article in the early
part of tho week, and when wo closed our in
quiries ou Tuesday, preparatory to the publication
of our semi-weekly, report, all qualities bail suf
fered a decline of a full 5 of a dollar per hundred.
Tiro market was very quiet on Wednesday; on
Thursday, however, u good deal of activity pre
vailed, anil fuetors met purchasers freely at the
reductionjjuoticed above. Yesterday the market
was again quiet, mid closed at about j decline oil
our quotations oftlio 11th inst. We have accord
ingly reduced our figures. The sales of tiro week
reach 3200 tierces, against tho receipt ill tiro same
time of 3760 tierces. The sales have been at
extremes ranging from 25 to $3:f per hundred,
principally from 3 to $33 per hundred.
Rough Rice—There has been a fair demand for
Rough Rice duriug the week, particularly for the
better qualities, und upwurds of 35,000 bushels
have been sold at advanced rates. The sales have
boen at extremes ranging from 82 to 95c. per
bushel, cargoes of prime Northern bringing the
latter price. The receipts huve been 69,000
bushels.
Freights—-To Liverpool, Colton in square
bags, a gd., and 40s. for Rice; Havre, |r. for
Cotton, and $3 per 600 lbs for Rice. To Now
York Colton per square bag, a 50c; Rico, 25u37.j
per tierce; mid to Boston, 5 11-lOtliu gc. for Cot
tou, aud $1 per tierce for Rice.
MOBILE, Dec. 14.—Cottou.—Tiro salessiuce
our last report foot up some 1600 bales, us follows
—100 on Saturday, 200 Monday and 1000 to-day,
taken pricuipally on French aud Spanish ac
counts- to fill previous orders. The market is
rather more in favor of buyers, and it will now
take a good style of middling to bring CJc. Re
ceipts since Friday 7395 bides, uud tiro exports
3217, leaving astock on baud tills evening ol 56,-
