Lov* op PiowKR3<-In all countries women love flowers; in all oonntries they form nosogays of them; but it Js only in the bosom of plenty that they con ceive the idea of embellishing their dwellings with them. The onltivatlon of flowers among the peasan try indicates a revolution in all their feelings. It is a delicate pleasure which makes its way through coarse organs, ft is a oreature whose eyes are opened; it is the sense of the beautiful, a faculty of the soul, which U awakened; colors, forms, ordors, ore percei ved for that first time, and these charming objects have at last spectators.

But, how ever well it may speak for the power and endurance of horse-flesh, such an exhibition so far as men wore concerned, was brutal aud shameful, nnd the parties to it deserve condign punishment under the Btatuto protecting animals from cruelty.

From tho foregoing it will be seen that Governor McDonald received a majority on tho first ballot, which of courso would have nominated him but for the adoption of the two-thirds rule. His election to-morrow is scarcely deemed matter of doubt. In his promotion to tho United States Senate the administration of Gen. Pierce will havo u stead fast supporter added to that body, and an honest and upright man will receive an houor of which no citi zen of Georgia is more worthy. The courso of the Georgian, as Its readers well know, has been to ad vocate the claims of neither of the distinguished gen tlemen whose names have been for some time asso ciated with this high office by their friends. The only point which we desired to urge especially upon the attention of the Legislature was the selection of some person thoroughly devoted to the support of Pierce—in case an election was made. As regards this very important consideration, the Democracy of tho State and of the Union will have abundant rea- Bon for satisfaction at the success of Gov. McDonald. A movement bos been made in each House to pass resolutions censuring tho administration for the re moval of Judge Bronson from the New York Collec- torship. In tho House the resolutions did not receive the courtesy of being ordored to bo printed. In the Senate they were treated a little more kindly, though there is no prospect of their passage through cither branch of the Legislature.

Tho annual message of John Rosa, principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, appeal's la the Fayetteville independent. The Cherokee Advocate containing it has failed to reaoh us. It is a concise, able, judicious document. Chief Ross refers gratefully to the fact that tho seasons have proved propitious ; refers very appropriately to the death of Richard Taylor, assist ant principal chief; recounts the narrative of tho murder oPtho two Adairs ; recommends further leg islation for tho suppression of mobs and unlawful as semblages, and adverts to some matters beuriug on the relationship of the Cherokee Nution to the Gov ernment at Washington. Respecting tho proposed territory of Nebraska, the message says : " You will have learned through tho public prints that there was a bill before Congress to establish a new territory to be called the territory of Nebraska ; and nlthougn that bill failed to become a law, yet the recollection of the events which led to our removal from tbo East of the Mississippi river to tuts country, aud of the fact that the boundaries indicated for the proposed territory of Nebraska would, if established, encroach on the lands of tho Cherokeas, may well awaken in our tninds serious apprchcusioiiB os to our future quiet nnd security. But holding, as we do, tho repeated assurances of the Government, and the stipulations of solemn treaties, that the lands of the Cherokces shall never bo embraced within the limits of any state or territory, without their consent; it cannot be supposed that any such encroachment on onr rights would bo deliberately aud intentionally made by tho Government. I would suggest, how ever, the propriety of entering a solemn protest nguinst such an extension of boundaries of any state or territory os would in any degreo contravene the rights guaranteed to the Cherokee Nation by the Government of the United States.” Chief Ross further proposes tho establishment of a permanent agent at Washington; speaks of tho tem perance reformation as having progressed to a grati fying extent; and in tills connection refers to ihe “ extraordinary jurisdiction assumed by tho United States District Court, held at Van Boren, Arkansas, for arraigning Indiana charged with giving or selling intoxicating liquors to other Indians within the In dian country. The jurisdiction thus set up is not only of recent finding, but it strikes directly at tho root of tho vital privilege of self-government. The right to regulate trade and intercourse among tho Indian tribes is vastly different from that of regulating the inter course of a tribe within itself. The latter right we havo yielded by no treaty, and there should be some means adopted to test tho cause and relieve our citi zens from the annoying vexations to which they are subjected by being seized by tho United States Mar shal, takeu from their homes, exposed to the inquisi tions of a grand jury and to trial before tho United States Court for aliedged offences of tho most trivial character.” Education Ih meeting with increased favor among the people.—N.

Honorably and actively engaged as yon were in all theatlrring events of tho war of 1812, on this fron tier, yonr opinion made np from circumstances at the time, and being yourself on the Held of battle, is enti tled to great weight. The affidavit ore aptain James Knaggs, with whom, M with nearly all older citizens, I believe you are ac id, will, ‘ * qaainted, will, I think, set the question at rest. Being at the river Rasin a few days since, I called on Capt. Knaggs, who was a brave and intrepid sol dier in the ranger service. He stated to me all the circumstances of the battle on the Tnaraes, so far os they camo within his knowl edge, and at my request, ho made an affidavit, (a copy of which I herewith send you,) narrating so much of the action us is connected with tho death of the great chief. CoL Johi CoL Johnson stated at tho time, and afterwards of ten reiterated It, that he killed an Indian with his E latol, who was advancing upon him at the time his orae fell under him.- The testimony of Captain Knaggs shows conclusvely that it could have been no other than Tecumseb. Col. Johnson, when lost hero, saw and recognised Captain Knaggs and Mr. Labadie, as the men who bore him from the field in his blanket. The transaction is of some little importance in his tory, as the ball that bore with it the fate of the great warrior, dissolved at once the last great Indian con federacy, and gave peace to our frontier.

The recent rumor that Lord Elgin had gone to Eng land, in order to arrange with the British Cabinet the union of the two Candos, New Brunswick and Nova Bootia into one great iederal province, probably wants confirmation. Yet the event is one likely to occur soon, even if not now about to happen. The North American Colonies of Great Britain, have been grad ually becoming more and more independent of the mother country, and as movements of this discre tion never go backwards, somo such measure as that nportedwfl speedily be indispensable. If the Provinces gain a common parliament, as proposed, retaining each its local legislature, besides the privilege of electing their own governors, they wiUbe.itbapparent/Independent in almost every thing bat the name. That their prosperity will be greatly increased by such an arrangement there can M no question. The British Parliament, sitting in London, let it be as impartial as It will, can nnot legis late for the North American Provinces like a Parila ment meeting at Qnebeo, Montreal, br St. Johna wonldl&HBWe have no donbt that, if this rumor prove* true, a brilliant Industrial career will bo open to Gande end the sister Colonies, and such a one as baa never, perhaps, been rivalled, except by these United State*. Had a similar arrangement been made, a century ago, with the thirteen original oolonles of this repnb- -lio, the separation from Great Britain would have been 'greatly protracted, and effected at least peacea- My, instead or by force of arms.

But there are still here those whoso plratlons are or a higher order. The Democratic party held their last caucus to-uight for the nomination of a United States Senator, which resulted in the appointment of Hon. C. J. McDonald as the candidate. The strength of Mr. Cobb In tho caucus fell far short of the calculations of his friends, It was very little, If any, more than that of Judge Johnson. Even upon the majority rulo,he could not havo been norainatod, as McDonald’s more thnn doubled him on every ballot, aud received more than two-thirds of the votes on tho fifth ballot. In fact, tho Union men ot tho party did not support Mr. Cobb. The responsibility, there fore. of this nomination does not rest so much upon the former Southern Bights men of tho party, as it docs upon the delinquency of Mr. Cobb’s former friends. The election of Senator comos off on Friday. The party xoems to bo harmonious In the support of McDonald, and tho distentions so much desired by its political enemies, and on which they based a prophecy of Dawson's rc-elec- tion. have all been settled.

Wnllack was appointed President, with 15 Vico Presidents and the usual number of Sec retaries. Cornelius W. Wendell offered a series of resolutions, declaring that tho nomination and elec tion of Pierce wns in consenucnceof his unmistakable national antecedents, and known opposition to the conduct and opinions of those who opposed Cass in 1848 ; that the Baltimore platform was not a general amnesty to such ; that tho attempts of the depart ments to crush the National Democracy in New York, deserves tho immediate attention and connection of the President, congratulating the New Yorkers in their signal victory over Freesoilism, deprecating their recent attacks on Dickinson, Ac. The resolution having been read, D. S. Ratcliffo took the stand, and made an able speech aguinst the resolutions, charging on tho movers of tho meeting, hostility to the President, aud a design to sink the administration. This crented great excitement, amid which Wendell replied.

It woe argued that this Board wae not called upon to de cide the propriety or Impropriety of making these addition- at mombers of the Savannah Fire Company. It was sim ply called upon to pass an ordinance carrying into effect a law of the State of Georgia constituting them such mem- ben. Indoed, the wonder Is that the first two officers of the Oglethorpe Fire Company should have waited from 1847 to 1853, before claiming their membership, distinctly con ferred upon them by the legislature. It was also suggested tothe Savannah Fire Company, that by IU charter itwaa entitled to thirty five members, that undor the circumstances now existing, there could be only four additional members ;from tbo two white Fire Com panies, and that thirty-five men ought to outvoto and con- tro‘ ‘ •rol four men If th,Jf ihould Both b. their charter and the ordlnanco of the fith October, 1863, the mo ment they become members of the Savannah Fire Company, they become subject to all Its ruloa and regulations, and tf they violated them they could be punished or expelled.

The Commltteo on the Fro Department on submitting the annual report, required of them before the term of of fice shall havo expired, regret to report the utter and com plete disorganization ?r the Fire Department of tho city. Tho members comprising the Savannah Fire Company have sent in their resignations as Firemen, nnd have published it in tho newspapers prior to its boing communicated to the Board, and have given to the world their roasonsfor tlie step they have taken, and for thus forcing Council to fill their places with comparatively inexperienced Firemen. In their address to the Mayor and Aldermen, the Savan nah Fire Company have gone into an argument ami made statements which require a notice from this Committee.— They base tlioir resignation on tho ordinance of tho 6th of October, 1853. A reference to that ordinance will show that they either have not read It or they havo entirely mis- apprehened its true meaning. In speaking of tho Ogle- thorpo Fire Company they sny : •• As they now own their engino, you thus place It and tho members of that company Vyond the control of the Chief Fireman, who is contem plated by tbn previously existing ordinances as tho head of tlie Fire Department." The Committee confess their utter astonishment that any man could make such an ascertion with tho following words of tho ordinance before him, which will be found in the last part of third section :‘‘ami nil orders given to any Fire Company, through tlio said acting Chief (i e. of the Savan nah Fire Company) or any member of tho Savaunuh Fire Company, acting by his orders shall be obeyed by all Fire Ccompnnies. whethorthelr first or second officers bo present or not. II supreme and absolute control be not bo given to tho Chief Fireman by this ordinance, then words have lost their meaning. The address brings these further charges against this Board : .... u Iq pursuing this courso against our judgment and wishes, wo feel that you have pronounced against the pre viously existing system, and in favor of a change of organi zation such as wo cannot sanction or submit to." This your Committee feel forced to say is a most ground less charge, existing only in the imagination or tlie writer. This Board has fully sustained the previously existing or ganization, and expressed its entire confidence in it. The ordlnanco of tho 0th October, 1853. in no manner changes that organization, nor does it as charged in anoth er portion of their address, *• introduce new elements of ^Thls! Board, on assuming office, found tho Oglethorpe Flro Company already existing, therefore, if that be tho elcihenl of discord, this Board is guiltless of introducing it. By a law of the State of Georgia. *• the two first officers of the Ogletorpo Fire Company No. 1 shall be ex officio additional members ” of the Savannah Fire Company. This law was passed in 1847, certainly not at tho instauce of this Board. IInw then being mado mombers of the Savonuah Fire Com pany by the ordinance or tho 6th October, 1863, in compli ance with a law of the Legislature, / assed in 1847, can be call ed as It is In the address. -‘a new and conflicting element in the Fire Department*’ is certainly most remarkable. If there be an insuperablo incompetency between white and black firemen. It certainly is not the fault of this Board. The Legislature of the State of Georeia chartered the white fire companies, and if there be any blame, let It fall on their shoulder*. . , _ „ , Tbo gist of the whole matter Is this : The Savannah 1 Ire Company claimed that, after the election of the first two officers by the Oglethorpe Fire Company, the persons ao elected should be submitted to tbolr npproval or disappro val. and if approved of, the Savannah Rjro Company would then nominate them to the City CouncilTor confirmation.
