JIllLEIKIKVILUf, NOV. 23.
There van nothing done In the Senate thin afternoon, ex
cept the reading of a number of bills the second timo. In
the House tho bill for the pardon or Elijah Bird, of DeKnlbj
vaa under consideration, and after able speeches were made
by Messrs. Rucker, Lamar, and McDougald fur the prison© i
and Messrs. Strolher and Reynolds against him, the bill
put upon Its passage, and lost by a vote of yeaa 43, nays
64.
Both houses have adjourned over to Friday morning, as
to-morrow is Thanksgiving day.
We attended to-night a meeting of tho Temperance Con
vention, In the House of Representatives. Prof Luther
Smith, of Emory College, Orit addressed the meeting, nnd
was heard with much Interest by tho audeance. until he very
unfortuualoly alluded to the visit of the last Legislature to
the City of Savannah, and charged that body with being
*• in & drunken spree,” to the neglect of the business of the
State. Tills assertion called up Air Irwin, or Wilkes, who
publicly proclaimed it to be fulse. Mr. Smith, in a subse
quent speech explained himself, saying thst he intended no
insult to Uio members of tho lost Legislature, and nsked
pardon of all who considered themselves insulted Mr. Le-i-
ter, of Forsyth, then addressed tho body, in a very appre-
priato manner, giving the grounds and reasons which tho
convention have in presenting tho petition, and explaining
the nature and substance of that petition. Loud and re
peated calls were then made, from all parts of the houses,
for the famous temperance lecturer, commonly known bn
Uncle Dabney Jones,” who nppenred and mado quito a
lengthy harraugue, much to the amuaoment oftho crowd.
The Chairman announced that lu conformity to a reso'u-
lion passed by the Atlanta Convention—a silver Goblet was
to be awarded to tho committee-man from the county that
hud the largest number ofsigners to tho temperance pledge
for this yoar. Tills priso was given to the county of Effing
ham. Mr Guyton of Effingham, upon roceving it, returned his
thanks to tho Chairman, in a short, but very appropriate
speech. Yours respectfully, McC.
Savaxnah, Nov. 23,1853.
ilesen, Bltiort: I observod in your last issue an extract
entitled, ‘-Facts respecting Custom-houses,” from which
wo gather tho following information, viz : that the custom-
house in New York cost f 1,128,302; In Boston. 51,101,000;
that in Sow Orleans, when finished, will cost $3.000,OGO,
and the one building in Charleston has had already appro-
prlatcd to It $680,000, whilst ours In Savannah, if I am
rightly informod, did not exceed the sum of $176,000,
1 refer to these facts, not for tho purpose of complaining
of tho difference mado by tho Federal Government in favor
of our sister city of Charleston—a difference certainly not
warranted by tho oxcess of her cominorco over ours—but
in connection with another subject of interest to us.
It having been proved by experience that the now post-
office in tho basement of tho Custom-house is unsuited to
its purpose, Savannah has a right to claim for lior citizens
a more commodious and comfortable place for tho transac
tion of the business of that ofllco. 1 would therefore pro
pose that the citizens, at an early day, before the meeting
of Congross^requost our representatives to urgo upon Con
gress tho appropriation of at least $160,000 for the purpose
of erecting a building to bo devoted entiroly to the purposes
of a post-olllco. If such appropriation is made, the amount
expended by the Government on public buildings in Savan
nah will then bo leas than half the amount expended In the
Charleston Custom-house alone. CIVIS.
Who Did ltl~
Jfeuyj. Editort .-—It is rumored that tho recent refusal of
tho Senato to elect a U. 8, Senator was the effect of tho in
fluence of a certain Democratic Senator, whose devotion
towards Mr. Cobb, and whose anger at that gentleman'*
defeat in caucus, drove him to act with the Whigs against
the party he has always claimed to be a member of. Can
yon tell us who this Democratic Senator is, and what county
he hails from? Ctmiosos.
Flogging Ballon.
Tho grand Jury was charged by Judge Curtis. Tho
charge was confined to au exposition of the recent
act of Congress abolishing the punishment by flog
ging in the American Navy and vessels of commerce.
The first question considered was whether the pro
visions of the act was limited to the navy and mop
chant vessels, or extended to ships engaged in the
fisheries. The Judge stated that tho language em
ployed loft the intention of Congress in much uncer
tainty in this respect, but he construed the act to ex
tend to fishing vessels, and he drew this conclusion
from the object and policy of tho law. from the na
ture of the employment of such vessels, and the ju
risdiction which CougrcBS had heretofore assumed to
exercise over such vessels. He defined puntshmeat

Professional Jealously.
Jealousy is one of the meanest, but not the least
powerful, of the unclean spirits that infest modern
Society. How rarely it ia that we hear sincere,un
qualified praise flowing from the lipa of a rival I In
order to beget hatred, It seems only-necessary that
two men should start on the same path. They may
be friends at first; but in a very Bhort while after
wards we are sure to find them foes; the success of
the one being gall and wormwood to the other. Do
von doubt tbU? Then look around. Who arc the
most unmerciful critics of works or art? Artiste.
Who tomahawk incipient poets? Poetasters. Moot
but a point on theology, and you straightway have
reverend doctors abusing each other with a hearti
ness that would do credit to Billingsgate, and indi
cate in no disguised language the future destination
of their compeers. Let a medical practitioner start a
new theory, and bis brethern are lustantly down up
on him. He is a quack—a rogue—au ass—an impos
tor. Even though the life of a patient bo at stake,
they icorn to hold consultation with one who is a
disgrace to his order. Better that Mrs. Jones should
die unaided, than thst the noble faculty should be
p refined.
Fornlsb » couple of rival tragedians with real An
drea Ferras—let them fight It out in the last act of
Macbeth: and to a moral certainty one of them will
be pinked or hideously slashed. Did you ever know
a reigning beauty who looked kindly on a young de-
buianlt? If suen a spectacle 1 was ever Been,yon may
be sure there was a mortal venow beneath the smile.
Men say that the lawyers, as being constantly pitted
against each other, are the least jealous of all profes
sionals ; but wo have heard of such things as syste
matic snnbbing from seniors.
Let no man chargo us with inconsistency in these
remarks. We expect not that professional corapetl-
tiorashall go about trumpoting each other’s praise—
that were, perhaps, a stretch of liberality beyond the
powers of human nature. But there is a wide differ
ence between that and running down your rival.
Why hate a man because he soils twice as many cop-
lea of his books as you do or yours? Has be injured
you thereby? Not one whit. Has he depressed your
genius? Clearly not.. Even though ho had never ex-
lated, yon would not have achieved a greater success;
then, why hate him ? An early chapter of the Book
of Genesis i$'suggestive of the reason. The first
mnrder arose from hatred engendered by jealousy;
and jealousy, at the present day, is as active and vig
orous as ever.
Texas.
If Texas is only true to herself, she will, at no very
distant day, occupy the very first position as one of
the States of the union. Her territory ia equal iu ex
tent to four such States as Louisiana, her soil unequal
led in richness and productive capacity, and her pro
ductions varied and abundant. The soil of Texas
produces in abundance and to perfection many of the
prodacta of tropical latitudes, as well as the products
of the more tropical regions. Cotton, corn, wheat,
rice, sngar, tobacco—all staple articles that enter
largely Into the commerce of the world, grow luxuri
antly on the soil of Texas. Grass is abundant in
most parte of the State at all seasons of the year;
hence, she must soon take her position as the first
grazing State in the Union. Countless herds will feed
upon the inexhaustible range of Texas, and no care
or expense will be required, except such os may be
necessary for protection and security. Texas, too,
has mineral wealth that will one day be or immense
value to her. Especially will her coal mines bo of
Incalculable value, when her railroads are ilulshed,
and she commences the business of manufacturing,
as she will, at no very distant day. Aud in estimat
ing the wealth and power of Texas, we must -not
leave out of view the character of her people. The
men who first settle a new country like Texes, pos
sess, in.a great degree, what may be termed Individu
ality of character. They are self-reliant,independent
in all their views, of indomitable courage, and filled
with a spirit of liberal enterprise. Every one has
noticed this trait in tho Texan character, and they
are fast such traits as will make great, powerful and
wealthy as a community.
But Texas needs railroads, and must havo them.—
Railroads are important to every part of the State,
and Indispensable to some, without these her re
sources can never be developed, and she can never
rise above a second rate position as one of the States
of the Confederacy. The best part of the State must
remain unsettled, tho home of the wild animals ol the
forest, and the hunting ground of the Indian warrior.
She most then, and will, have railroads ; but how is
she to get them 7 It is evident that the amount of
moniea capital in the State, at this time, is not suffi
cient for tne purpose. What then is to be done?—
She mast offer inducements to capitalists taring
their money into the State and build her railroads Tor
her. For this purpose she must give a portion of her
rich public domain ; not with a stinted hand, but
liberally. Sixteen or twenty sections to tho railo
would not be too macb. It would be liberal it is true,
and wonld add millions to the already overgrown for
tunes of monied men ; but every million put Into the
pocket* of tho capitalist would put one hundred
millions into the pocket of the State.
A great central trunk road turning through tho
State east and west, between the parallels of 32 and
83 El Paso, and another one from Galveston and
Houston to connect with this, should receive tho spe
cial care and attention of the present Legislature of
Texas. The read from east to west will connect here
with the great system of railroads In all parts or tho
Union, and accommodate her inland trade, travel, and
emigration. The one from Galveston will build up
one of her own ports, and accommodate an immense
and very fertile region of country.--Shreveport Dem

How the Martha Washington Case was
Managed.
The Cleveland Herald thus undertakes to explain
how the verdict of " not guilty " was obtained in the
case of the men recently tried in the United States
Circuit Court at Columbus for defrauding insurance
oompante* by the burning of the steamboat Martha
WMnington:
The defence brought on about three hundred wit-
nM*es f and made on imposing display in administer
ing the oath to this array. The prosecution sapposed
these witnesses were all to be examined, when io and
heboid,after perhaps a third had testified, they were _ __
suddenly astounded by the announcement of counsel stripes with’ the cat of nine tails, or punishment which
thatthe defence had wosedjts testimony. The stroke toat the tame in nature and effect; (mutated
with spirit and energy In the ensuing election.

The Regatta.
The South Carolina Regatta Club gave tholr open
ing en Attainment yesterday, and we will endeavor
to give somo account of its most Interesting occur-
renees. At tho preliminary meeting held at tee Mills
House, or which wo havo already spoken, tho follow
ing Boats were entered t
Charles A. L. Lamar, plank, longth 60 feet,12 oars,
color of boat, brown ash; owned in Darien, Ga.; uni
form, white and black oups.
Oomot, canoo, 43 foetll Inches,8 oars, white; own
ed in Savannah ; white aud black caps.
North State, ulauk, 43 (eet, 10 oars, black and red
stripe; built In North Carollua aud owned in Charles
ton ; red nhirts.
For the second race, of the third class, the follow,
ing wore entered;
South State, plank, 40 feet, 8 oars, blue aud yellow
strljio; owned in Charleston ; red shirts.
Kate Kcouan, canoo, 40 feet, 8 oars; owned in
Georgia.
Colleton, canoo, 35 feet, G oars, green aud black;
white and red tippets.
At 11 o'clock, A. M., we went to the scene of ope
rations, ami already there wero a largo number ol
persons present; some lu preparation, nndBomo for
tho purpose of procuring tho most eligible positiou
from which to seo the show, and interest, activity,
and life wore Everywhere exhibited.
For our owu part, wo availed ourselves of the cour
tesy and kinduesa of Mr. F. Bonncnu, and wero car
ried in his little bout, Rovonge, to every poiut upon
the theatre of actlou, where tho Interest was tho
greatest. Sailing leisurely about, wo came to anchor
a short time bofoie tho start was made, about the
commencement of tho quarter Btretch, and kept our
positiou until tho raco was ended. From this point
of view, few scenes lu life can be more Imposing than
that prescutcd. Looking towards tho town, every
spot seemed cro wded with earnest nnd expectnut pco-
ole. The Southern wharf was crowded. The steam
boats lyiugattbo wharf were crowded. The windows,
piazzas and tops of tho houses looking upon the Bat
tery, were crowded. The whole line or the Battery,
from Southern wharf to White l’oint Garden, a dis
tance of near five hundred yards, was densly throngud,
and more than a hundred boats aud vessels were out
upon the stream—some at anchor, somo gilding way-
wardly about, wherever whim or purpose carried them,
and just before the time, the William Scabrook, the
Charleston, and the Palmetto rolled from their
wharves, the decks of two of them, at least, a mass
of human beings, and glided down along tho line,—
tho first two for the purpose of witnessing tho amuse-
ments, and the other to prosecute her voyago on to
tho North. Over nil hung the delicious bozo of the
Indian summer ; the sun shone with a mellowed
brightness; the broezo was warm and balmy as tho
breath of early spring, and we greatly question
whether a Regatta basever been favored with a more
glorious theatre for exhibition. Tho Inside course
was won by tho Charles A. L. Lamar, the middle by tho
North State, and the outside by the Comet; and
prompt to the hour of twelve, tho signal was given,
and three little objects glittering in their atmosphere
of spray, sprang from the shore of James’ Island.—
Coming directly towards us, it was impossible to de
termine their relative positions, and for a minute
there was great interest nnd suspense ; hat shortly
after, it was evident that the Comet was behind, and
at the expiration of five minutes, they were abreast
of us, the Charles A. L.Lamar at least a length ahead,
but as they shot past it appeared, to us at least, the
North State was gaining rapidly, and when the race
was concluded noqne could Bay with any certainty
which had Deen the victor. Opinions wero risked ;
bets were offered, and there was scarcely less excite
ment after than before the conclusion of the contest.
At length the announcement came, however, that the
Charles A. L. Lamar, steered by Mr. R. Bpalding, had
come In oue half a length ahead.
Tho second race came off nt a quarter to 2 o’clock,
and was won by the Kate Keenan, by about her
length ahead of the Colleton, which also was about a
length ahead of the South State.
The time of the first race was G minutes, 30 seconds.
Tho time of the second G minutes.
The Stuto of Georgia has thus been successful over
all of her competitors, and Mr. Spaulding was tho ob-
eerved of all observers on tho course.
The friends of the North State are not entirely sat
isfied with the result. Though she was beaten, they
contend that her defeat is not attributable to the
greater speed of her competitor, hut to her less effi
cient oarsmen. Five of her. crew were shipped on
yesterday murnlng, they had no opportunity of prac
tising together, and were less efficient therefore than
they would have been,if habituated to each other’
movements.

to Gov. Seymour.
Tho Governor's reply was one of the happiest ef

ing, in Just and complimentary terms, the health of
the Right Rev. Bishop MoCloskoy.
The Bishop replied in the beautiful manner pecu

Wo lmvo reported from day to day a most painful
and afflictive mortality on board emigrant ships. It
is computed that, since the Oth of September, among
16,272 passengers brought in forty-four ships, there
have beeu oue thousand one hundred and eighteen
deaths ut sea! Frightful as this mortality is, the
picture derives additional horrors if placed in a dif*
i'eteut light. It wo leave out of tho list those vessels
on board which tho mortality was slight, varying
from one to seven, we shall find that In twenty-nine
ships, bringing about 12,709 immigrants, tho deaths
wero one thousand and sixty-seven.
This is indeed a terrible state of things, nnd what
still more deeply shades the picture is that there
seems to bo no clear understanding of tho real cause
of this frightful devastation ; the public have no sat
isfactory knowledge of the true nature of the disease
that destroyes from twenty to twentv-fivo pa a sengors
iu some of our best packet shins. These vessels are
conveniently constructed, with special reference to
passenger traffic, well ventilated, well manned and
officered, nnd have not generally made unusually long
passages, lt is ruraarluvblo too that this mortality
has been confined to certain distinctly marked
periods of time. Thus, of those leaving Europe from
the Oth to tho 27th of September, every vessel exhibit
a heavy mortality. From September 27th to October
20th the mortality at sea was very slight. From Oc
tober 21st to tho present time, with the exceptions of
two or three days, the mortality has been great. The
ships sailing from Liverpool has suffered most severe
ly, with tho exception ol one from Havre, which lost
seventy-five.—N. Y. Com. Ado.

the counsel for the defence signified to the Court that
they declined to answer Mr. Morton, and were ready

is true that the United States nnd British Commiaion-
era tendered to Ex-I’resident Van Buren the offico of
Umpire, under tho commission to adjust claims be
tween Great Britain and the United States. The post
the Albany Atlas says, was pressed upon Mr. Van
Buren by both Commissioners, and seconded warmly
by Lord Clarendon, the English Foreign Secretary.—
The grounds of Mr. Van Buren’s refusal os stated in
his letter published in tho Atlas, were an unwilling
ness to assume any public office, and a fear that tbe
business of tho Commission would render necessary a
prolonged stay In Europe.—Balt. Amer.

Snd nnd Fntnl Disaster*
As the Gravel train of Cars on the Virginia nnd
Tennesseo Railroad were leaving Big Soring Depot
in Montgomery county, last Friday morning, tho boil
er of the Locpmotlvo Abingdom, exploded, instantly
killing the Engineer. William Albaugh, and injuring
seriously, if not fatally, the fireman, Benjamlu Sor
rel *
We understand from a gentleman connected with
the road, that the parts or the boiler that gave way
are precisely similar to those of tho engine whose
boiler exploded lost year, killing tho fireman and En
gineer. It was of tho description called the domo
boiler, and made by Joseph Anderson, Richmond, Va.
We understand that he has made but bIx of the kind,
and that two were sent to Georgia and have sincu
burstud—throe were purchased by the Virginia and
Tenn. Railroad, two of which have bursted, and thoy
liave now one on hand, the Antelope. And as to tho
sixth, tho reputation of the model being established
it cannot find a purchaser, and remains upon the
hands of tho maker.—Lynchburgh Republican, 21 si.

Washington, Nov. 19.
Tho printing of the census report, with tho excep
tion of a few pages, has been completed, und in the
course of next week tho office will be abandoned, and
the clerical force dismissed.
The entire work makes an elegant qnarto volume
ot 1,250 pages, and is executed in a style which re
flects infinite credit upon Gen. Robert Armstrong, the
printers and tho gentlemen who superintended its
publication. A balance of $23.00Q ot the appropria
tion for the printing remains unexpended.
It ia said that further examples will be made of cer
tain bolters In New York, and that tho Postmasters
at Albany and Troy are In danger.
After a lapse of several weeks, with restored health
we renew tho publication of the Courier. That it
should for a season havo been discontinued will bu
readily excused by its patrons in view of tho unfortu
nate and extraordinary state of uffuirs among us—the
presence of a dreadful aud fatal epidemic, hitherto
unknown, which scattered or prostrated our citizens
upon the bed of sickness, ourself among the number.
It was a fearful time, and 1ms decreased the popula
tion of our precinct by over a hundred souls; although
the fever has been present almost everywhere on the
Gulf coast, there are few communities which have
suffered more. In the hour of our need we were not
'forgotten, and the indigont sick owe much gratitude
to the “ Samaritan Society," of Mobile, to whose gen
erous remittance of three hundred dollars, through
tho President, Dan’J. McNeill, Esq., there are indebt
ed for many comforts.
» thoso things have passed away, there is
less among us, and our merchants are re
joicing in a eiight increase of business as the up-conn-
try-men begin to renew their visits. Wo think that
there Is no risk incurred by strangers now visiting our
town, and we hopo soon to see the cotton and other
produce pouring into our market as usual at this sea-
aon.—Milton, Fla., Courier, 15th.
Selling by Samples.—Mr. Augustus Wilkinson,
agent for Messrs. Lyman, Seayres& Co.,of New York,
shoe merchants, was arrested by officer Tyler yester
day, for violating the revenue laws of Virginia, by
selling shoes by sample in the city. Mr. W. tendered
bail before a Justice, and this morning appeared to
answer the charge against him. Many of our first
merchants i:. th-j shoo business appeared and were
examined ns witnesses. The testimony elicited went
to show that Mr. Wilkinson travelled tnrough the
city in the capacity of drummer for the house of Ly
man, Senyres A Ctr.-R. Y., iu which he was employ
ed, and that he exhibited his goods by sample and re
ceived orders for shoes^ of manufacture similar to
those shown as sample, which were filled by Messrs.
L. S. & Co. The Mayor stated that he conceived this
a violation of tho revenue laws of the State, ano in
answer to a remark of Mr August, counsel for the
prisoner, said he did not consider the case of our
merchants sending drummers into the neighboring
cities of Virginia as analogous, held Mr. Wilkinson
to ball to appear at the Hustings Court, in February
next, which being given he was discharged until that
time.—Richmond Republican, Nov. 18
What Becomes of all the Vessels?— 1 The Bos
ton Atlas gives somo interesting facts in relation to
tho destruction of vessels belonging to tho United
States, deducted from the marine reports and other
sources. It appears that for n period of eighteen
mouths, ending in September of tho present year,
103 ships and larks, 144 brigs, and 327 schooners
were totally lost at sea. During the same period, 60
vessels, which had previously sailed, never heard
from, 338 put into port in distress, and 102 wrecks
were passed. This is, says the writer, n total loss for
tho given period,every twenty-two hours ; one strand
ed every forty-four hours ; one abandoned every sev
enty-five hours, aud one never heard from every ten
days.
Insurance Trial.—lu the Supreme Court of New
York, on Thursday, Shepherd & Ripley, obtained a
verdict of $7280 on a policy of insurance by the Pro
tection Insurance Company upon their cotton mill in
Southbridge. which Imd been burnt. The defence was
that the plaintiffs had not furnished sufficient proof of
their loss, and had not complied with several condi
tions ot the policy.
III arranged Marriages.—At Louisville. ICy,
on the 9th, Col. Young, aged fifty-live, was married to
Mrs. B. Rice, aged eighty. On board steamer Senora,
on n late trip from New Orleans to St. Louis, •* the
famous shepherd boy," ThomasJI. Noel, of Jefferson,
led forth from tho ladies’ cabin the beautiful nnd ac
complished Miss Lydia Stinson, of Evansville, and
they were joined In marriage by a Justice. He bad
never seen her until they met on the deck of the
steamer.

NEW ORLEANS, NOV. 18.—Corrox.—We have had saver-
al changes of mure or less moment, to notice in our general
markot during the weok. Colton has been active during a
portion or the time, aud a alight advance in prices was re-
allied for the better qualities, In tbe early part of tho week.
The demand, however, lias not been regular, havlog been
checked by tho Arabia’s nows. Sugar and molaues have
declined under Urn influence of larger receipts, and the
business In these articles lms been on s more extensive
settle. Flour lms considerably decliued, but Corn has been
without much change, Tiu-re has been somuthlng of a
panic In the Pork nmrKet, and prices are fully $1 00 lower.
Whisky hutt been dull, at lower rate. Coffee has latterly
been active, und prl :oa nro tending upward.
We left tho Cotton market at the cloao of our last weekly
review with a firm appearance, and a fair demand. There
was but little alteration on Saturday, tho Inquiry being f&lr
and prices steadv. with miles of nearly 4.500 bules. On
Monday nn active demand sprang up, resulting in sales of
fully 0.60!) halos; and factors found themselves ablo to ob
tain au advance of X(a>Xt f«r tbe bettor qualities, tbe
lower grades reaming unchanged. On Tuesday mornlug we
published tho Baltic’s accounts, which wero regnrdod as
ratli'-r unfnvurab e, and during tho day purchasers were
found for 0.600 bales, nt steady prices. On Wednesday the
demand continued, snd 7.000 bales changed hands without
further alteration In the rates, Tho market opened on
Thursday murnlng with n good inquiry, nnd up to noon tho
sales embraced 8,600 bales, but business was suddenly
checked by the Hpuenrauce «f live Arabia’s accounts in tho
evening papers Yesterday the transactions were limited
to about 4.500 bales, making n total for tho week of 36,000
bales, the market closing ut «ur quotations as below, indi
cating no change since tho receipt of tho Arabia’s news.
Tho receipts of the week are 38,840 bales, nnd the total
receipt)* since the 1st of .September have been 227,033 bales,
against 411.081 to the same dato last year.

of finding that nn Individual bearing tho family name of

statement is made without the slightest wish of affecting
any claims lie may have upon public patronage, but simply
that whatever credit tho firm may have obtained by the
