Legislature or Georgia. 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 in 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 ocrat. 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. • On moUon of Mr. Solomon Ooiirn, it was unanimous ly— ‘ ; ■ • Retolved, Tlistthe Chairman at hliloliuro, select two K na from each ward who shall oompose a nomine- Committee, to select candidates for Mayor and Aldermen, and to report at a sequent meetiug.

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.

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. „_*bold &ad successful.

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.

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. Wnstalngton Affairs- 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. Why supposeRhennmtlam Incurable, when tboro nla a Infallible and accredited remedy within the reach of all!

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.
