(CorrMpondonco of ihoSnvaunali Georgian.] MILLKDGEVILLE, Deo. 23d, 1847. Gentlemen— 1 On examining this afternoon, the Journal of the House (hr yesterday, I find that though of imposing appearance as to size, it is scanty of interesting matter. On motion of Mr. Bartow, tho order was sus pended, and the bill of Souttte was taken' up, to authorize the liiwnasee Rail Road Company, of the Stale of Touncwee, to extend their Rail Road from tho Tennesseo lino to some point on tho Western and Atlantio Rail Road, of the State of Georgia— : U»e» bill tvas read^tho third time, tekou up, and passed. The bill to amend an act to incorporate the Augusta and Waynesboro Rail Road Company, S used 31st Dec. 1838, was alio passod, as was. e bill to incorporate the Macon and Western Rail Road Company, &c.and the reconsidered bill to amend an acrio organize the Lunatic Asy- •luinof the 8tale of Georgia, and w . i to provide for the government of the same. Yeas 63, nays 58. Mr. Shockley introduced Use- following reso- iution t ‘ '■ ' Resolved, Sfc. That tho thanks of tho General l.'. i* « n ■ A I l>. f tl'... ond, for bis gallant conduct und noble bearing on the battle fields 6f Mexico, in defending his country’s flag—and that his Excolleuey the Gov* era or, cause to be transmitted to Lieut Gardner, a copy of thia resolution. . On motion of Mr. Baratto, the House took up and concurred in the resolution of Senate, au thorizing hi* Excellency the Governor, to present to Capt. William Hardee, of the United Suites’ Dragoons, (a native of Georgia,) a sword, for his brilliant achievements in Mexico. ' The following resolution was laid on tho table by Mr. Tift: Resolved, That tho Commilteo on tho Lunatic Asylum be.instructed to ascertain and report to this Honse, whether any person has been com mitted to tho Lunatic Asylum, or is detaiued there, contrary to Jaw. The House then took up tho unfinished busi ness of yesterday, being the report on tho bill ibr tho appropriation of money for tbo political years 1848 ana 1849—the consideration of which continued until a late hour at night, when tho House adjourned. So much for tuo House, yes terday. • . To-day in the Senate, Mr. Wales moved to re consider the bill rejected yesterday, to abolish the office of Sole Director of the Central Bank, . which was lost—yeas 21, nays 22. Mr. Fariss,ftrom the committeo on Internal Im< 6 rpveuient, made a report on tho memorial of aber & Pitman, asking remuneration of tho State for certain lumber delivered on tho Wes tern and Atlantio Rail Rond in the year 1841, nnd rocommending that it be referred to the Chief Engineer of said road, for Amber investi gation. The Senata took up tho special order of tho day, to-wit: the bill for the relief of Peter Treze- vant—and, after some time spent in considera tion thereof, tho bill was passed—yeas 28, naya 14. * Yeas'—Messrs. Barclay, Chastain, ClaVton, Darden, Duncan, Fariss, Forman, Fort, Hollo- wan Hunt, Hunter, Irwin, B. D. Johnson, W.

Camp, Coohrano, Coffee, Col- Jins, Ditnogan, Glenn,-Henderson. Hilliard, llai- foid, Simmons, Smith, Stapleton, Waters, Wig gins, And thus has the General Assembly of 1847, redeemed the plighted faith of Georgia, and of- forded a worthy oxample of Republican justice. Mr. Glenn, offered the following preamble, ■nd resolutions, Which were read and agreed to: \ Whereas, .The Mayor and Aldermen of tho city of Savannah, predicating tlteir official action upon the anonymous correspondence of a pub lic newspaper, baa cJiargea a member of ibis •body with wantonly, through ignorance or 'de sign, making allegation^ upon this floor, injuri ous to the interest of said cityi and has transmitted to the presiding officer of this body a copy of the preamble and resolutions, orabodying said ehargo s . Re it therefore Resolved, That said attempt of the municipal authorities of Savauuub, to cast their official censure an a member of the Senate of Georgia, is arrogant in’ its nature, unwarran ted by the facts on which it is based, and meets with the unqualified disapprobation of this body. A bill to authorize the Gov.emerto appoint addi tional Engineers upon the Western and Atlantic Rail Rood, and for letting out the building aud completion of said'Road was passed in Senate.— Yeas 20. nays 18. , The Honse has been engaged all day upon tho Appropriation bill, and at 8 o’clock to night, when I left to deposit this letter for the morning stage, it Jjod not been disposed of. It was cumbered with a multitude of amendments, on which on- sued protracted debates. 1 left the Senate engaged npou a resolution nominating General Taylor fur the Presidency. Mr. Glenn, the vigilant Senator of tho 30th dis trict, proposed an amendment, in substance, pro viding, that he, General Taylor, was opposed to tlje Wilmot Proviso, &c., which was rejected— ypas 20, nays 22. So that by a negative construc tion, the .Whig* found themselves forced to affirm that adherence to that doctrine was not matter of djfquaiification. This only proves that partisans 'cro soouitimea compelled to adopt a position they never meant to occupy; fori cannot suppose any «mo of the gentlemen voting in tho negative, fa vor the Wifinot Proviso. I rather think it was meant as an expression of such unbounded con fidence ip tho General, as to exclude any proviso that might have tho appearance of an imputation of unsound sentiments. Respectfully, yours, AMANUENSIS. Mr. Forman moved [to divido the question, which was agreed to—and on agreeing to the pre amble of tho resolution, the yens are 34, nays 6. The quostion then recurred upon ugreeiug to toe resolution—on which the yeas' are 21, nays IT. So the resolution wai agreed to. Mr. Glenn gave notice that lie should move to reconsider same next morning. Tho motion has accordi ly been made-and nn animated debate Is this mo ment in progress thereon.

Yours respectftilly, AMANUENSIS. MILLEDGEVILLE. Doc. 24, (at night.) Gentlemen:—The motion of Mr. dUmuoua in Senate to day to reconsider tho bill passed yoster day for relief of Peter Trezeviuit. wus lost by the signal vote ofyeas 31, nays 31. Thus this “vexed” question has ‘boon disposed of, aud as I humbly mink, justly. Mr. Waters moved to reconsider tho bill passed yesterday, to complete the Western A Atlantic Rail Road—which was rejected,yeas 33, nays29. Tho motion of Mr. Glenn, to reconsider the preamble und resolutions adopted yesterday,nom inating Gon. Zachary Taylor for the Presidency failed of success. Mr. Alarks moved tho previous quostion,which was sustained—aud on tho muin quostion, to wit, tho motion to reconsider, the yens are 21, nays22. It is due to the gentlemen voting throughout against those resolutions, to state, thntthey united in bestowing the highest eulogy on Gon. Taylor. So fur from wishing to pluck one leaf from the laurel wreath that a grateful country entwined around his brow, they would ndd brilliancy to tho halo of glory that surrouuded it. Iu the present aspect of things, of .portentous import, they thought it bout to await the action of tho Demo cratic National Convention, beforo committing themselves to any mqu, even to Gen. Taylor, one of tho heroes who have contributed to 44 fill tho measure” of their country's glory. It might be for the best interests of tbo country to support General Taylor, or it might not. The complexion of his political principles were not yet understood by tho pooplo. He hud declined making any exposition of them, bo long us the duties of his station in tho army de manded his presence in the field to combat tho enemies of Jiis country.

The Resolution of Mr. Waters, nominating General Taylor for the Presidency, was taken up. Mr. Glenn moved to postpono them indefi nitely which was lost—yeas 12, uuys24. Mr. Lawton offered the following as a substi tute for file original resolution viz: Resolved, Tliatwchuve abiding confidence in the present incumbent of the Presidency, James K. Folk, and do recommend him to the people of 'thin union for re-election^ Mr. Glenn moved to amend the original reso lution by adding fito following Proviso, viz : Pro vided he be in favor of file acquisition of Territo ry in the event that Mexico cannot indemnify us for fite wur, aud pay the debts due our citizens m money—opposed to a national Bonk—und to the Wilmot Proviso—and in favor of the present Tariff.

Whon freed from the restraint his offi cial station imposed, General Taylor would, with his characteristic decision, frankly avow his sen timents in relation totho great agitating political questions of the day. The democratic party, al ways looking steadily to the great interests of tho country, wore willing to abide the decision of a Convention of Republican Democrats—und if General Taylor was thcgnominco.they would sup- jort him; and call upon their whig friends of the South—particularly the South—to uid iu the e- lection of any mun who should bo deemed best qualified to preserve the integrity of the Union, and tho just rights oftho South. Air. Snider, from the committee on Banks, moved to uuiond the majority report by the fol lowing resolution— Resolved. That his Excellency the Govomor,be authorized and requested to appoint at his earliest convenience a suitable agent to sell nud dispose of the lands hold by tho Darien Bank, in the State of Mississippi, and to turn over the proceeds thereof to the officers of the Central Bank,to be applied to the debts of said institution; which was agreed to. Mr. Simmons moved to substitute the report of tho minority, for tho original report, which wus lost; yeas 19. nay8 20. The quustiou then recurred upon agreeing to the report of the committee as amended,on which tho yeas are 20, nays 20—thero being a tie, the President voted in die utfirmative—so fite report was agreed to.

Tho Whig party may be considered in position at last. Mr. Webster has pronounced in Spring- field^Afr. Clay in Lexington, tho National Intel ligencer in Washington, to tho tune of seven col umns, and finally, to the lasting regret of all tho admirers of a far-sighted and inventivo non-com- miUuliain, our haleiioscopic neighbors of the-Sa- vannali Republican have themselves pronounced. As thoir first manifesto, however, was hut a re flection of the organ at tho Capitol, a littlo more deeply colored, pcijnfps.with allusions to “kings,” “despots,” “Lords paramount,” “tyrauuies,” “the orio man power,” etc., and us they have finally transferred to their columns, verbatim ct literatim, that portion of the Intelligencer's article which re fers to the question of tho Western boundary of f rexas, we proposo to devuto u moment's consid oration to that. The Intelligencer declares that Mexico “did not involve the two countries in war,” “did not invade the territory of Texas,” “did not strike the first blow,"“did not shed tho blood ofourcitizensonour own soil,” upon the ground that tho territory be tween tho Nueces and tho Ilio Grande did not be long to Texas but to Alexico. It asserts that not only did Texas have up title, but not oven a res pectable claim to it. Its whole argument in sup- porf of fids proposition turns upon tho question of possession. It seems to believe that if it can be shown that the Mexicans wore in possession of this territory, and not the Texans, the title is fixed in Alexico, and not even a respectable claim ex ists in Texas. Now tho law in reference to title to real estate, of which “possession” has been said to bo “nine tenths" aud which certainly is rigid enough for all the purposes of strict justice, falls far short of this. Admitting, for the sake of argument that Alexico has been in possession of the territory, doo3 this settle the right of pro perty ? and If a defier tittle can ho shown in Tex as, will uot the laws of nations, us woll as the civil law of cnlighteucd countries, and tho dic tates of common-souse decide that the soilis hers? nud that Alexico lias been guilty of “inct und not the United States? A word ns to tho basis of tho title of Texas to the line of tho Rio Grande. In 1633, Louisiana was discovered by a Frenchman, nnd tho coun try up to its natural boundary, the Rio Bravo, was taken and held in the possession of the crown of France. It thus remained for eighty years, when, in 1702, tho country was ceded to Spain by France. It wus coded back to France in 1800, and in 1803 it was sold to the United States, with file sumo boundary ns it possessed under Spain aud France. In 1819 we ceded Texas to Spain. Such is a brief history of the various transfers of this territory; in every trans fer tho Rio Grande was made its western boun dary. Tho authority upon this point is most con clusive. In* the old Spanish maps tho Rio Grande is laid down as tho southern nnd western boundary of Louisiana. In a letter iu 1804, Mr. Madison says, that Louisiana extended westward to the Rio Bravo del Norte,' tliat is to say, file Rio Graude. The French .commissioners in surren dering tlie cauutry, fix tho “ Del Norte die boundary. In 1S04 Mr. Aradison declares his opposition “to tho relinquishment of any country whatever, eastward ol the Ilio Bravo.” In 1816 Air. AInnroe declares iu a letter to Air. Madison thut “ our title to the Del Norte, in Texas, was us to'clear iur tho Island of New Or leans.” Air. Joint Quincy Adams, iu 1818. said “file claim of Franco always did extend westward to the Rio Bravo." In his instructions to our Commissioners, he directs “the removal of evory Spanish military force from the north und oast sido of the lUo Grando.” Air. Clay in his famous Ualoigh letter snid, “tho United States acquired u title to Texas, extending to tho Rio del Norte, by tho treaty of Louisiana.” This is a brif summary of tho grounds upon which Texas has claimed to the Rio Graude. We maintain that upon them her original •‘right of property” in the territory between the Nueces and tho Ilio Grando cannot bo questioned. She has never ceded that right. She has always asserted It—tho pimple fact of its being in possession of the Mexicans, does not aflect it. And it will he intmcdintely perceived that even if there were truth and force in the arguments advanced by the Intelligencer to prove that possession iu Mexico, thoir power would bo entirely destroyed by tho simple fact that the possession Nvas wrongful. But what is the character oftho testimony pro duced upon this point? The Intelligencer Bays that it is not of its discovery, and cites the letter ofMv. Donelson, Chargo d'Affaires to Texas, as its authority. This authority refers simply to the occupation of tho territory, and shows conclusive ly that it was not admitted in Mexico, but wus dis. puted by Texas. “The occupation of the country between the Nueces and tho Rio Graude” (says Mr. Donelson in his letter to Gen. Taylor of tho 30th June, 1845) “is a disputed question.' 1 And this is all which can be found referring to the point in the extracts from his letters given by the Intelligencer. The samo letters show that ho re garded die disputed territory as a port of Texas. The following remarics of tho N. O. Picayune, (a paper known to bo Whig in all its predilec tions) furnish anablo and -conclusive vindication ofour government from tho chargo orbringing on the war with Alt^ico. „ Mr. Clay may 1» right in raying dint "the ini- Ifdieieport. mediate occasion of unstmties arose out of the or- 1 der of the I’resideut of the'United States for tho removal offije arnty unijer. Gen. Tuylor from its position ut CnrpuB ClirisUto a point oppositeMnt- amoras on tho oast hank of file Rio Graude j" yet grunting this much, it does not make out the charge af injustice. The question is, had tho Government o right to' movo the army across the Nueces? And this must he tested by concnPrent facts. Mr. Clay, in his speech; asserts that in the purchase of Florida the United States paid five millions of dollars, and tho righttp insist upon the Rio Grande os .flmtyesteru boundary of Louisiana —which was,us Afr.'Clay thinks,tho true boundary oftho French purchase. Now, the same quo*- tioa of boundary urose in.: the* forinatioir of the Republic of Teio&,.ft!id Mi*. Cla)* jiisfiy remarks Taking this to bo the true state of the case, fife Unitedi Slates had as much right to have an armed lorco on this tfeutral ground m Mexico had<— Now, it is a notorious .fact that Mexican armftd’ bodies had crossed the Rio Grando before Gen. *1 nylpr was ordered,to Cross tho Nuocos. It is also a, notorious fact that GdA; Tuylor was met dt the ArroyO Colorado by. ftn: organized body of Mexicans, and that ho was threatened with battle iu case ho crossed that stream. These facts arii a part oftho history of fiioso tunes, and if entering file neutral territory with armed troops was an Unjust commencement oftho war, Alexico first committed tho wrong. Moreover, not only hod Ctirvuial, Canales, nnd Roinand Falcon crossed tho Rfo Grande before Gen. Taylor left Corpus Christ!, bat American citizens, travelling .on law ful busiuess through the disputed territory, men, women and children, had been murdered'by the followers of these Mexican officers,iu Buch a bru tal manner,thntwluit was right in respect to the pre vious acts of the enemy .became a duty on the part of fite Government os a protection to our own n 'o. Whatever motive may be oserjbed to xecutivo, the act of crossing the Nueces, at file most,wasinerely retaliatory,and at best needful to the safety ofour citizens, nnd proper, lest the exclusive military possession of tho country bo construed to woukon our title in the negotiations for a boundary. It was our duty, as public jour nalists, to keop ourselves advised of what was pausing in tho neutral ground at the time, aud wo speak with knowledge on this subject. LATE FROM MEXICO. Nows Eight Days from tho Capital. Wo are indebted to tho editors of tho Picay- uua for au Extra, dated at Now Orleans, Deo. 22, 1 o’clock, P. AI. It announces tho nrrival of the Br. West India mail steamer Teviot, Lieut. P. Hast, It. N., Com mander, at Ship Island harbor at 4o'c!ock, P. AL 20th inst, in four days from Vera Cruz. Dates* from the city of Mexico to 14th inst. clusivo, have been received by tho editors oftho Picayune. Gen. Patterson had reached the city of Mexi co, having loft a garrison at Rio Frio, whore [a periuauent depot is to bo made. A train left the city of Alexico on tho 9th inst. for Vera Cruz, under command of Gon. Twiggs. Gen. Pierce is coming down with it. Gon. Scott is said to havo issued au order ma king a new assignment of brigades to Gens. Smith and Cndwalndcr und Col. Riley. Tho Mexican Congress had a quorum on Mon day, the 6th of December, which is tho latest date we have yet come across from Quuretaro. Tho Stur suys many deputies wero still absent, and six or eight others werg expected to louvn du ring thewcek, notwithstanding tho critical state of affairs iu which tho republic is placed. Tho correspondent of the Alonitor thinks tho new Congress will do no better than tho present. Nothing oftho least interest was done on Mon day. Tho Government wns occupied with tho regulation oftho army. A degree was about to ho issued on tho subjoct. contemplating the num ber oftho standing army nt twenty thousand men. A correspondent of tho Picayuno writes from Alexico, (Doc. 13,) There is absolutely no news from Querotaro. Congress docs not meet, and thero is n rumor in town that Santa Anna has been proclaimed Dictator there, but I cannot trace it to any reliable source. Every thing hero appears to favor the belief that a movement will ho shortly made for tho interior. What division of tlie army will take tho load, or who is to com mand it, I cannot say, but Madame Rumor points to tho gallant Smith, tho hero of Contreras as tho commander. Dec. 14.—Nothing now this morning. The courier goes oft’ at 8 o’clock, and I send the morning papers by hint. Gen. Scott has issued another order, dividing his urmy into brigades, under the command of.Gens. Smith, Cudwulader nud Col. Riley. Gen. Butler left Jttlnpn on tho 6th for Puebla. The train which ho commanded had also left tliat city. Gen. Butler was expected in Puebla Sunday, 14th iust. with 7000 men. The steamer Portland, Capt. Spinney, arrived at Vera Cruz on tlie 15th inst. after a terrible pas sage, during which u hundred horses were thrown overboard. Col. Bankhead and other officers commend the captain for bis skill and coolness; and say that the ship would inevitably v have gone down had not the horses been thrown over-hoard, and that* a delay of fifteen minutes would probably havo been fatal. Col. Buukheud, as Governor of Vera Cruz, as sumed the command on 16th iust., and has ap pointed Lieut. Fahnestock, 4th Art., Acti/ig Assis tant Adjutant General, and ordered that tho rontiue of public business bt> continued us estab lished by Col. Wilson. Cnpt. Jus. AI. Smith, 3d Infantry, died nt Eli- qero on the 4th inst. Capt. Wheat with a company of dragoons, arrived on 9th inst. at Vera Cruz from Jainpn. Gen. Marshall nnd stuff were met by Capt. W. ut Plan del Rio. Cnpt. Wheat came iu charge of ubout one hun dred sick nnd wounded. A gentleman who arrived hero from Los Lle- nos do Apa, in company with Cupt. Wheat, from Jalapa, wns robbed, as well ns several persons who were with him, (persons belonging to the English mining compnny.) of all they had with them, ut u place called Rio del Norte, by tho hruvu defmscAtrs de. la Patria, the guerrillcrofl, or iu other words, robbers. Capt. Wheat assures the Free American of 10th inst. that from here to Jalapa, the road is per fectly opened to travellers, and that in parties of three or four, it can be overrun without the least danger, A severe norther commenced at Vera Cruz on tho 13th inst. Three schooners were driven ashore; among them the Dove, from Tampico. A correspondent of tlie Picayune writes from Mexico, (Dec. 13,) “About 6 o’clock on Satur day night Mr. Doyle, the English Charge .d’Af fairs, arrived from Vera Cruz in the diligence, es corted by Capt. Fairchild, of the Louisiana Ran gers, and about thirty six men. They brought neither letters or papers, however, but lost night tlie English courier arrived, with a full budget.— Capt. P. informs me that there cannot be less than twelvo thousand men on the road up here. IMPORTANT—IF TRUE. The same writer (Dec. 10) suys—“I was as sured-yesterday by an intelligent Mexican, and one who from his position is doubtless correctly informed, tliat tlie Mexican Government had de termined to send propositions to Washington for Commissioners to meet at Havana, nnd arrange tlie terms of a treuty of peace, ami that these pro- positions had actually gone down by a special courier, who accompauiod the - train which loft yesterday.” The Picayune is not prepared to say how au- Tho same writer (Doc 10) says—Tho Aloniteur ofyesterday publishes a decree from Senor Rosa, tho Minister of justice dud Ecclesiastical Affairs, protesting against the solo of church property in this city, except for tbo benefit of the Aloxican Government nnd tho Ch'nrch. The Free American (of tho 10th inst.) says —Capt. Kerr, of tho Louisiana Dragoons loft' Vera Cruz on Wednesday last, with his command for tho National Bridge, where they. are. to be stationed.

It is beginning to ho understood nmoiig the Medical Profession, though for some reason it would not perhaps he readily acknowledged, thut all curative treatment, to ho effective, must act di rectly or indirectly on tlie Nervous System.— Now tho effect that medicines generally have upon the Nervous System is to injure it, and tho more they aro used the greater tho injury. Iu many cases this portion of vital structure has been entirely destroyed by the confined use of drugs. VVlint then Man wc look to whon the Nervous System is diseased / We aiw swot—to tho mysterious but powerful agency of GALVANISM, which alone is* found to exert upon it tho most surprising and boueficiul effects.

My disease was u complication or complaints, brought on by- exertions to support my family, being often obliged to work ut the needle for twenty hours out of tho twenty-four. I was afflicted with dis tress in the huud; my sight wus impaired, und a general weakness seemed to prostrate my entire faculties. I was under the cure of Dr. Stillwell, Nn. 13 Stift’olk-Ht. nnd several other physicians, for a long time, hut my cuse was so stubborn thut the slightest noise would sometimos throw me into convulsions. Sometimes I could not close my eyes during the night, aud would walk tho room half tlie time. For.over u year I was so deaf that I could scarcely hear any ono speak. My life has been constantly despaired of, aud I often wished death to relieve iny sufferings. Such is n feeble statement of my situation last Juno, ; when I first heard of your Galvanic Belt and Magnetic Fluid. On stating my cuso, you liberally presented me with the articles. I huve worn them ever since, und tho result is, thut I iiavk completely recw EllED MV HEALTH. MV STRENGTH, A.VD MV SPIRITS. My friends, my physician , nnd myself, aro confi dent that it is owing solely to tho use of your wonderful Belt and Fluid that this happy result has come to pass, und I shall ever gratefully ac knowledge it, and am now, and will he nt all times, ready to state uny farther particulars, or to sntisfy tiic public that my assertions are true in every res pect. ’ Mrs. Laura Johnson, 13 Essex-st.
