Gentlemenl present you the following epi. tome of tho remaVka made to tlio Senate, by the talented Senator of the 520th district, Mr. Wig- on the oceaaion to which they refer—end I touch to y ou for tho corrootneu of the report. On Friday, the 17thinst., on the passage of the Ytil to authorize a junction of tho Central Rail Road, and the Macon &. Western Rail Road, Mr. \Fifgina strenuously opposed its passage. “Ho ■aid it could not receive bis support, unless it was first approted and sanctioned by the city of Ma con; and warmly contended, that it was the duty of the Ceutral Rail Road Company, and that of the Macou & Western Rail Road, if they desired n junction, to have petitioned in their owu names, in a proper and becoming manner, to tho Legis lature of Georgia. That it was not iu good faith to the city of Alacon, to attempt or to connivo at an attempt, bs indirect means to accomplish that which they have not openly aud niaguanimiously demanded. Mr. Wiggius further said, that the apparent ■snow* iu this project,were Messrs Cooper,Stroup *Sc Wiley, a portion of this interest located in the ^City of Charleston. And thus have immunities aud .privileges been conferred upon these roads, and •upon the City of Savannah, without any requi- isition. or application being mado to the General . Assembly, by the parties directly interested. Mr. Wiggins among other tilings said, that while the city of Macon was marshalling her means, and enlisting her beat taloiit to aid and ac ceierate the city of Savannah, In the consumma tion of her design for the construction of her road little did she dream that alio was fostering a combi nation of powers that would ride rampant over her •authorities, and make the restiug placo of man- ■sions the pathways of their commerce. On Saturday, the 18th, upon the passage of tho bill to increase the stock of Uie Marine & Firo Insurance Bank of Savannah— Mr. Wiggins rose and said—ho hoped the bill under consideration would receive the approba tion of Senators, and that they would give to Jtazeolons support. The increase of popula tion, and the commercial demands of the city re paired its passage. Mr. Wiggina contended, that Augusta and Charleston, had a decided advantage over the ci- ty of Savannah, from tiio very fact ofthoim* mens* amount of banking capital allowed them. In order to.enable the latter to competo success fully with these rival' markets, it is essential to grant similar (hciiifies, provided it can be done Without injury to other interest, equally objects of Legislative paotection; he thought none con flicted with the provisions of tho bill|undcr consid eration-lie should vote for it—he desired to act liberally towards our own seaport. He also remarked, that the mercantile aud financial interests of Savannah and Macon were closely allied; and by a cultivation of their mutual interests, they will prove formidable competitors to all adverse interests. In Macon there was but little banking capital, and tiie chief circulation were the bills of the Mechanics* Bank of Augusta and bills of the Bank now applying for au exten sion of its capital. That tho management of the Marine Bank had largely secured the confidence of the people .in the Central, and upper portions of the State, aud with tho exten- *ion of the privilege that it now solicited, he hoped and believed that the Directors of that in stitution would view it as an additional evidence of confidence, and stimulate them to continued endeavors to increase aud retain it. There should be no rivalry between Mucon and Suvun- pah—bat a generous emulation, as between sis ters, possessing a common interest, aud subject to a common destiny. In my haste to save the mail of yestorday, omitted to sty to you, the House took up the re considered bill, for tiie relief of Peter Trezevaut. which was passed, by 4 majority; yeas 62, nays 68. If tho Senate respond to the action of the House, this long delayed claim will at last be set- Bed, and justice be done iu the preraisos. Your obedient servant, AMANUENSIS. Hermits.

Gentlemen—I scribble the following in haste the House of Representatives li&vo consumed great portion of the morning in discussing mo tions to reconsider bills and resolutions, passed, rejected, or adopted Saturday lost. The Jour nal of that day having just reached my hnrnls, give you extracts of general concern, nnd such local matter, as may interest your readers. On motion of Mr.- G; r.rell, the Houso recon sidered the resolution, adopted on Friday, refer ring the election of Judges of tho Superior Courts to the people to determine, by endorsing on their tickets “ by the poople,** or •* by tho Le gisloture.” The yeas are G4, the nays 66. The House concurred in several amendments, made by Senate to its bills—amoug*them, the bill to incorporate the Savannuh and Albany Rail- Road Company. The following bills, among others, wero pass ed i To add Ossabaw Island to tiie county of Chut ham. To incorporate tho Irish Union Society ol the city of Savannah. To amend the laws af this 8tata regulating Pi- lotage, and defining tho powers of tiie Coimuia- aioners of Pilotage—and further to protect the navigation of tiie Savannah River, so far ns the port of Savannah and Bar of Tybuo aro con cerned. Some half dozen bills wero lost: Among them one to incorporate tiie Ilock Island Maiuifuctur- Jug Company in the county of Muscogee. Vecoud, to levy a tax upon dogs in tiie county Richmond' A third, to make it penal to kill deer in th# pounty arRiehmond. I now conclude, at 6 minutes to 12, with the pronto to write again to night.

We aro pninod to learn of tho death of this gal lant Georgian,who at au age when most men seek comfort and domestic retirement, clothed himself in tho panoply of war nnd went Ibrth to tiie bat tle field to vindicate tiie honor of au insulted country.

Death of Col. Echo!*.—-It is witli feelings of tiie deepest regret, that we have to commumcato tho death of this gallunt officer. A letter received in this city yesterday, dated National Bridge 2d inst. mentions, that ut that tinio bo wassoveroly indis- .posed. A postscript to the same letter, dated the 3d inst., mentions that Col. Echols died that morn ing at 1 o.’ciock, und would be buried iu tiie after- noon with military honors.

Tho price is a sacrifice of South ern rights and diameter, and yet Southorn prints are ready to sustain him.,.

Since his true character has been developed; her intelligent voters repudiate both him aud his measures by thirty thousand mujority. Tho Wilrnot Demo cracy of Now Hampshire and Penusylvauia are ready to do likewise.” We liavo clipped tlio above extract from the Augusta Chronicle nud Sentinel of tho 17th inst., ns a fair specimen of an article which com mences by propounding a question to us. Tho article itself is a "critique" upon some remarks which we took occasion a few days ago to offer in reference to “ tlio Clay and Anti-War meet* nigs” held at the North in response to the Lex ington speech. A specimen of tiie proceedings oftheir meetings wo liavo ulrendy given to our readers. No language of. abuse, vituperation, and insult ngaiust tho South has boon too strong for their sponkers to use. Tho ruthloss lash of tlio tyrannical master, and “ the blood spurting from the back of the slave," uro topics upon which thoy have delighted to dwell. No abolition meeting which has had Tappnu for its President aud Gcrritt Smith for its orutor,could have offer ed deeper insult to the Southorn people. Yot such assemblages as these have been held in res ponse to the 8cntiments of Mr. Clay, and have proclaimed 'their reverence, affection, and idola trous devotion to him ns the great exponent of their opinions on nil subjects, nnd especially up on the sluvo question. And tiicse are the assem blages which the Augustu Chronicle and Senti nel, a Southern print, is eagor to defend npon the ground “that the people should enjoy their con stitutional right peaceably to assemble, and discuss all sulyccts which concern the public welfare." Our renders will perceive at once that tho pre cious paragraph extracted above, falls with mar vellous propriety into a defence of these Federal Abolition meetings. To whom, inquires tho wri ter, will you appeal in order to put a slop to these assemblages 1 and by a reply of this sort to nn expression of ours,broadly proclaims that they are "the gatherings of the American people." Will yon invoko the assistance, ho asks, of tlio majori ty which elected Mr. Polk ? That mujority no longer exists—and then ho proceeds to show when and how it has been lost. Does ho show that it has been IobI iu tlio South? No. In the slave holding States of the West? No. But he point* in triumph to the “thirty thousand majori ty of the intelligent voters" of New York who have repudiated Mr. Polk and his measures. Why did this majority repudiate Mr. Polk ? which of his measures was so odious to them? Cun it be pos sible that tho Chrouiclo aud Sentinel places so low an estimate upon the common perception und intelligence of its readers ntf to suppose Ibr n mo me ill that thoy will be humbugged by the sug gestion that New York gave her vote to Mr. Polk* becauso he claimed to be a better tariff man than Mr. Clay? Were there no other assignable cmiso for the Into Democratic defeat in that Stato, what mau in his sound senses would attempt to account for it upon this ground ? Tlio argument might have been applied with somo degree of plausibility to Pennsylvania, hud the Whigs been successful there, but to Now York, wbosu interest lias ever becu opposed to tlio tariff, whose masses aro known to bo unti-TuriilV u commercial uud agri cultural State, almost entirely, to attempt to fix it to her, is to perpetrato ail ubsnrdity which re floats badly enough upon tlio intelligence or tho sincerity of the writer. No man of nn ordi nary perception enn be ignorant of the fact that New York was lost to the Democrats on ac count of tho Wilrnot proviso ; that a minority of tiie party, dissatisfied with tiie act of the majority of tho Syracuse Convention, either voted for tho Whig ticket or did not voto at .all, and that thus the Federal party, by tho force of unanimity in favor of the proviso, and against the rights of the South, wore triumphant over the Democrats, a majority of whom manfully stood tip against the proviso, aud in favor if the South, although it From iho Richmond Tjnm*, 17th hist.

In relation to tho dissensions betwixt the of ficers of the army, the Vera Cruz correspon dent oftiio Delta gives tiie following account: A lamentable feeling pervades tlio arm* at Mexico, owing to jealousies nnd heartburnings, envy nud malico, und political prejudices.— Gen. Scott lias arrested Pillow and Worth.— Tho circumstances which led to this step are be lieved to bo those: Two letters, emanating from the American camp, published in tlio Un fed States, have been read hy Goueral,Scott. Ilian order published to the army, he orematurc- ly decides who wroto them, and most buuglingly impeached tlio honor, patriotism, nud services of tho two Goner tl*. who are eulogized iu thuso letters. One oftiio Generals (Pillow,) dcuios iu a card published in Mexico, tiie authorship gf tho letter attributed to his peubyGou. Scott. The other General, (Worth.) prefers charges against Scott, nud Scott arrests him for contcnij Gen. Pillow was arrested becauso he nppenl from an opinion of Scott, requesting the latter transmit tlio appeal to the Sccrotury of war.— Scott refused m n hasty manner, whereupon, the former remarked, “I will do it, sir.” “Then I ar rest von, sir.” wan Scott’s reply. So matters stniiuatlust dates. The army is excited, and if wo may judge from what we hear at this distance, more than a inoiety of it sympathizes with thu Generals sought to he disgraced. It is said that on a visit to the theatre hy Gon. Pillow, au audieuco of over 31)00 being present, lie received three hearty dicers; immedi ately after which tile audience gave three more for Gon.

Tho message of tho President of tiie United States, giving his reasons for withholding his signature to tlio River and Harbor Bill, passed by tiie last Congress, came up next, us the un finished business of yestorday.

Bite of a Rattlesnake.—Dr. Leo, of Hartford, Conn., who has practised extensively at the South, status that he bus treated five cases of rat tlesnake bito, mid all of them successfully. His remedy is alcholic Honor—either rum, brandy, or gin—given in large doses. A linlf pint every fif. teen minutes, making a quart iu an hour, 'is not too much to he givon ns soon as possible after the bite. This rornedy has been used at tho South to a great oxteut, and lias never boon known to Ikil of a cure. The liquor absorbs or deadons the fatal virus, nnd never bitnxicotes tiie subject so long vifl tho virus oftiio reptile is in the system. From tlio l’cmiaylvnuian. The N. Y. Legislature—Pope Pius IX.—Col. Young hns introduced into tlio Senate of New York, tho following concurrent resolutions, which, uudorrulos, wore laid on tho table, to receive tho earliest, and, wo doubt not, tho unanimous action of tho two Houses of thu Legislature. They ex press in animated language the enthusiastic senti ment with which tlio Republicans of New York view tho struggle of tlio Roman Poiiliil’, to free his Church from tho dominion of temporal poten tates, aud to sucure to his People thu blessings of good government: Kuwlvcd, (if tlio Assembly concur,) That tho Legislature of this State have regarded with deep Wist nr’s Datauiu of Wild Cherry. Trenton, N. J., Oct. 2,1315. Mr SetliW. Fowlo, Boston: Dear Sir—Permit me to address myself, through you, to all who nro suffering with any pulmonary complaint, and advise and recommend all such to use at once Dr. Wistur’s great remedy, a medicine which I sincerely believe will cure,‘if a cure be possible, and uot waste their time and money on tho many trashy and worthless nostrums of the day. Oue year ago lust fall, I took a sudden cold, winch settled at once upon my lungs. I was soon obliged to take niv room. A severe cough followed, and I soon lost my appetite, and conse quently uiy strength. I became very much re duced, sutlered severe pain iu tlio side, breast, shoulders, &c. I coughed much nights aud raised large quantities of mattor, sometimes accompa nied with blood. I continued to grow worse, and was obliged to consult a physician, who visited ami prescribed forme several times, but afforded mu little relief. I became alarmed ami discour aged ut my situation; my family and neighbors supposed 1 could not live long. Fortunately I found ono of Dr. Wistaria pamphlets, aud like a drowning man “catching nt straws,” I took cour- age, and sent immcdinlolv for a bottle of WISTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY. My disuaso was so deeply rooted, however, that I was obliged to got a second und a third bottle be fore I began to improve perceptibly. I kept on until I ban taken two more bottles; continuing to improve-1 soon regained my upputite and strength. I continued to grow better until tlio summer, when l was able to do a days work on my farm every day, and have continued so to do. My health has not been hotter for four years than at this time. To your invaiuublo medicine, uow so universally popular, I feel indebted, through Providence, for tlio preservation ofniy life. Try it for yourselves Signed, Wm.
