The distinct (uinoumeiucut iu (he lunate lo
'lny by Mr. Toombs, that tli rioutb wid go out
of the Union s f a black republican President i*
elected, dxi’itee chib sal crablo fwlitijr, cemhfg as It’
doea from a grave Senator, but is somewhat neu
tral wed by the speech of Air Corwin in tli Douse
to day, which takos Um.ground that neither the
So.nlU, iu>r any Stale in the Sooth, will be allow
od to go out of the Uniort. Mr. ('orwin oceu
pied fnr* u hours yesterday and four hoars to-day.
i luring Mr. Corwin’s speech several aMeiupta were
made to iuterrup: him, but ho dceliuad yielding,
with but < *Tie or two exceptions, even for a ballot.
When ip|)ealed to by Mr. Window, all pm ties
were willing to have a ballot, but the friends ol
Mr. Corwin declined to have him cut off in the
niidat of hi* argument, supposing he would eou
clude iu time to take a ballot, which proved a
mistake.
Thb Sw.AKßHKHti’.—Had a ballot been taken
to-day, the result would hu\ c been about the same
a* formerly, no change having taken place sufli
i Oient to produce a result on cither side.
For several days report has bee* in cireula-
I lion that some of tlie South American* would vote
f‘"r Mr. Corwin, and thus forae the republicans
to go to him. Another mruor is that Messrs.
Briggs. Riggs, A drain and t'lnrk, will Vote for
Mr. i'citiuug&eu? and than dictate terms tu the
| republicans. Neither of tiic.se projects will divert
I enough of tho fri*uds of Mr. .Sherman away from
i hiui to elect either Corwin or Bennington.
i rtmee Mr. Corwin's speech to-day it is doubted,
[ whether the Americans will pursue the opiuae ln
i dicatcd. Before tho speech of Mr. Pryor, a few
1 day- since, in which he recommended the repub*
| Beans to take down Sherman and put up Cotwin
!or Pennington, the republicans might possibly
have been induced tu concentrate upou one of
tbetm gciuiumun, us uu experiment, if nothing
more, hut tin* republicans assuft now tiiat they
will never do it, been use it would appear as
J though they were following the dictation ol Pryor.
I have reason <o believe that neither Cluck uur
Briggs will vote for Pennington, notwithstanding
the rejpu-t,— N Y, ItnuUi.

tries at Ii is expense. Mr. ilottaton had (ailed j
iiim h burning, wbtieirinf eur*o ami Hhame, and ■
ha.i other*iao jocularly Cxpi - enstd himself. He
desirod to know if the gautlcinuu from Alabama
liad intended to stignmtize him as a personal
withering curse and sham*, or merely as a po
litical one.
Mr. Houston, of Alabama, replied that no otic j
bwt a raving and inexpreuxildc idiot could sup ’
|oso, us the gentleman from Ohio had done, that j
any personal application was intended. He i
simply considered Mr. fiherman’s trftso|iahlwnol
Infamous chaiactor, byHidus being stiugy and not
at all honest. That was all.
Mr. Gherman sakl story one ought to be satis

Mr. Il ‘uston theft observed that In a political
sense tin one could deny that Mr. Shannon was

iug of his being foolish aud incendiary from ear- j
ly infancy.
Mr. Sliurotun agreed In the main with tho |
honorable m nUouian's senfiineu's, but auggoaleii
that it would boa personal ootireuitpice to have j
the re ‘ lutiou offered by Mr. Clark of Missouri, j
now before the House, declaring him to bo an j
offensive and ignobla object withdrawn, because i
it interfored with bis appetite, and gave lum uti- i
pUuisunt visions at uigbt.
Mr. Houston said tlmt, ns for his part, ho wiih I
a man of resolnHbn, and ho objected to the with- j

Air. Sheriuun cordially reciprocated tho honor

Mr. Clark, of .Missouri, rose and nuftomiced a

would stand b.v his resolution. Without calling i

would say that gentleman was not fit, politically. 1

have titue nod again met the charges with proof
suftl dent to clear the good old party from Maine.
Thw would not do for the Emtprirer. Finally,
however, the Democratic members of Congress,
embracing all who had supported tho democratic
ntimimo for Speaker, Southern Democrat*, North
ern democrats, and Western democrats, united in
tho support of an old lino Whig and American,
that 100 in tho face of tho advteo of tho ffnijitfrer
to the South A mermans'sever to vote for a demo
crat; aud oaino within throo votes of electing ouo
of thoir own number Speaker. To this, tho Kt\-
i/ui'rnr hosuot a word of coipmefifc. It was a oom
pletoevtopftot to all of its positions, but it had
not the euudqr, yea, caniiok, not magnanimity,
to nay that its political opponents did a good
thing. The mountain coiniug to Mahomet : tho
democratic party, four times as large a tho
Southern Opposition, rallying to the latter at a
sacrifice of party prqjudioo and passion, does uot
provoke a of praise from tho Enquirer. It
is still unsatisfied. The editorial of yesterday
contained another ground of com] laiut. Tho
deuioerats were so fur forgetful of thoir duty to
the country as to press the confirmation of uu up
pohitod Minister, Afr. Faulkner, of Virginia,
through t’ongress, that he might enter upoa hi*
dutioH('f) This was a great dereliction of duty
while Mr. Clark 'h resolution wus pending (?) “/w
----conrtWrucy,” says the Enquirer! Wo venture
Mu assertion that the Southern Opposition mem
bers of Congress voted for tho confirmation of
Mr. Faulkner's appointment, and thought the
ease one of emergency. If tho democracy have
‘any tiling to roprotteh thetftsolves for, it 1h for
yielding, every mail of them, their individual and
political prelbrenooH for Speaker, and uniting with
a little sqund of Americans, who never did oast
their wlndo vote for any one outside of their own
party. The democracy, iu view of the stubborn
ness and party spirit of Aa/of thi* little band,
might have refused forever with sufficient justifi
cation to join so intolerant a baud. The country
would have excused them, the houest masses
would have acquitlod them of all Maine, while a
portion of tho 8011th Americans were so dictato
rial, *0 arrugnnl, ami so hard to please. Ou the
oontrary, forgetful of thy advice of such journals
ns ilm Richm-mil Whig and Coluinbu* Nuqoiror
to their own party frionds never to vote for a
democrat for Speaker, hut stand “alouv,” for
ge tAtl of the spirit that animated the course of
the. Bonthorn Opposition iu the Houso, forgetful
of the abitHo and vituperation heaped upon their
heads by the opponents, forgetful of everything,
except a true, genuine, devoted love of country,
the democrats with a magnanimity uuparaileld in
the history of party polities, preaentod the priao
of Speakership to thl# little band of Americans
and.bid them (Jod speed! When such political
heroism cannot extort a word of praise from our

conviction is irresistible, that they would sacri

tho High Priest of party xuirlt and party preju

Tho most oloquent and effective speech of this
session was delivered to-day in tho Senate by Mr.
Toombs, of Georgia, lie spoke upon the subject
of Mr. Douglas’ resolution. He accepted that
: proposition an an effort in tho right direction. It
was necessary to enable the government to
discharge it.-* whole duty to the couutry. But Mr.
Toombs flared that the evil wiih beyond remedy.
Ho spoke upon the political past, present, and
future, und iu a truly slute.-manlike manner. He
commanded, n.-t oo.ofto else has done this Hussion,
the earnest attention of every Senator. Mr.
Seward devoured every word lie said, giving him
the clnsenit attention. Tho whole speech of Mr.
Toombs was to show in whnt manner the evila
that surround us, uud which placed us in a con
dition of quart civil war, have been brought
about, lie showed, too, that udlchh the North
changed its aggressive policy and sentiment, the
two sections must, at the next Presidential elec
tion he brought lace to taco, in upeu collision.—

From the New Vork Dally News,
The Dotnalle Idkiiiu loiis of b© Territories.
While Air. Douglas, iu his lute speech in the
Hannte. was perfectly sound uud Democratic in
the hiiiu issues discussed, yat he permitted him
i self to Bay, in answer to a quoation by Mr. Fes
senden, that “hi doctrine was that the Fcdural
liuVcrmncnt nknld oxcrci.se no power, directly or
imlirectly, to control, form or otherwise ioflucnce
the doinostiu institutions of the Territories/’ Had
{ he said mild not” instead of ‘‘ihouhi nut’’ he
I would have boon sound with the Democratic doo
| trine in that respect.
j Tlie Territories are jointly owned uud oeou
! pied by ull the Motes, aud Congress is ruquirml
■ by the Constitution to protect tho rights and in-
I terosts of the cituuns of each Stale residing in
the Territories tho sumo us they would have boon
protected by the laws of their own State had they
remained there. This is the decision of the Bu
pveiue Court., and it arises from the fact that
Terr toriu* have no sovereign power in ihcui
hhlvos, and hence cun not cout.'ol their domestic
institutions except by virtue of the xovereign
power derived from Congress, or from the common
law of the laud. As Congress cannot grant them
1 thut power, having it not to grant, and as the
common law doe* not, it follows of uourse that
, the Terrivories cannot exorcise it. That is the
. reason why h plurality of wives is allowed in
1 Utah, aud cannot he prohibited until Utah be
: comes a State aud acquire* severeigu power that
she can enact positive laws.
| We admire .Mr. Douglas for the good he has
done our party and the country, but we have aiu
-1 furod so much from the miscmistrucrian by our
! opponents us the power of Congress over the Ter
i ritortoe, and of tho jibyjcni of the Territeries
i themselves, thut it is not only right but of vital
! importance to our success, and to the peso# and
[ best interests of our country that all the leaders
j should be sound upon this subject.
The Georgia Hide
The best fire-arma of America should oume
from tbo Routb. It is here that they are in the
moat common use. Hum the requisites of good
woapons are best known t and bore the truest ,
specimenß of the best manufacture in the world
can bo found. Tim present interest in the sub
ject is taking a prtclicul turn, and, white we call
aitentiou to the remarks, in Another column, of
the Richmond Emquirer ou the Morse gun. we
will speak briefly of n recent trial in this city.
Our readers will remember the account we pub
lished a short time since, from the bavuunah pa
pers, of a trial there of a gun invented in Geor
gia. The same piece was .-objected to a triul at
tho Magnolia Farm last Monday, in the presence
of Mr. Irladding, tbo inventor : Gapt. Delaunay,
and a third goutleuiuu from Georgia, whose name
has escaped un, aud Geu. bchnb rle, Alaj. Lucas,

iKlulativoe of the Corn ier ami Mercury.
I he (luorgiu rifle is hruecti loading, und tho pre
sent specimen was made by welding the patented
chamber t‘ an old barrel The chamber is open
ed by unshipping tho guard to the trigger, a boa
tliu stuck tails dawu, opening tbo chamber by a
bingo. Tbe hammer being down withdraw* (he
cartridge caso, which consists of a paper ur leftth
or, enveloping tlie powder, with the conical boil
protruding, as lu other breech loader.*, lhu cap
i* located in the interior of tho cartridge, und is
exploded by a noodle piuremg it from a blow of
the bummer.
A Maynard rifle, of the U. 8. army pattern,
was brought to the held by Mr. Levin, and enter
ed upon the trial.
Th© following statement of the trial and it*
result* has beep fig nod by (he gentlemen whose
uamcti are appended :
ChakluhTon, Jan. 23.—8 y invitation of the
Patentees, the uuderaigneJ were present ibis
morning at Magnolia Kurin, wuere a trial was
made of the qunlitic* und Di©fil.i ot a breech
loading rifle, ibv< ated and patented by Dr. M. G.
G*l lager and WilliHm 11. OiuUUing, Ksq., of Ba
vimnuti, Georgia, and tho“Ma>nuru Killu.” The
trial was made under the foil-.wing oircumatuu
o*s, ami was limited to rhe penetrative power of
the shot* ot the respective urm*:
The target Wo* made of thirteen thicknesses of
inch pine plank, with an inch space between each,
and placed at a distance of twenty-live paces or
seventy- five tset. The Georgia rifle, a roughly
©onstrncted model, only tn test the principle, was
fired with it charge of grains of powder and a
hall weighing Sflff grain*. The first shot pene
trated nine of the plank* and struek the tenth.
Thu second and third shot* penetrated ten of tlie
planks and bruised tho eleventh.
The Maynard Rifle, United State* Army pat 1
torn, was,fired with a charge of 44 grams of
powder and a bull weighing J4O gram*. The Arm
shot penetrated nine of the plank* and struek the
tenth. Tb© **coud shot pouetrated ten of the
planks and struck the eleventh; tho third shot
perforated within nn innh and a half of a previ
ous shot, buried itself in the eleventh plank.

It Is but fair to say, that while the Maryland
rifle was in bxeellunt eoiiditiuii, th© Georgia rifle
from tlie sircuio"lances of it* oonsiructieu, was
itnport'vct: y*t the throwing >.f fifty grain* more
load, with only un additional four gratae <d pow
der in the rtiarge, with to nearly the same result,
argues great cfficioncr.
A >iar> I and rifle, of the © Risen s’ small sport
big pattern, wsa brought, to tb© ground by Mr. I
Carlisle, and several shots made with it, though
it wm# not eutered iuto oom|i©t4ou with tbe other
riflen, but only ©x perinea tod with as a diversion.
It* nsuits wore most stttistaotory. At the same
distance as stated above, several shot* were hmd
with the rifle, and the same uniform result ob
tained, vili it pierced nine of the planks, and
struck the truth. This rifle carries a ball weigh
ing 144 grains, the charge being 4ti grains pow
der.
We are pleased to announce tbst the Georgia
gentleman left an order with Mr. J. M. Happoldt
our admirable Charleston gunsmith, fur a rifle
iirih) iu exact accordance with the specification*
of the patent, which will of course be a* perfect
au arm a* skill cau make. We I urn that on its
eouipleiiou another aud more satisfactory trial
will be made of the power* of the Georgia rifle,
of which Gov. Browu of Georgia, Mays:
“The Legislator© which places y<ur Georgia
Kitiu, or some other first rate arm iu the bands
of wvery person in the Mute qualified to do mili
tary duty, will have done more to protect the
Mouth aguiust aggression than ha* beeu done by
all the resolutions of its predeuessors.”

Remarks of Mr. Hardeman, of tta.
Tho following remarks of Mr. Thomas Ilardoe
man Jr. of Ga., in the House of Representatives,
on the 20th instant, are taken from the Con
gressional Glob® of the 21s* ult.:j
Mr. Hardeman—My notice lias been ealled
this morning to a letter of mine, which was writ
ten the seooud week of the session, and which
recent events have convinced me, pluees some
members in a false position before the House.—
That letter Was not written for publication; bnt
it iiaving been published for want of a little
caution on iny part, for 1 attribute no blame to
the publisher, 1 sat down as soon as 1 saw it
published, aaul put myself and friends right up
on the record. But as the ipaper that cootnins
the synopsis of my explanation does not circu
late thus far from home, nud as I noticed tbil
morning that tho first letter was published in a
Now York paper, I deem it my duty to put my
self and my friends right upon the record.
That letter was written, as I said, the second
week of the session, and I am convinced from
revolutions that v bAve since boon made, that I
then labored under some erronoous impressions.
I stated in it that there were several of tho anti
i*ccntnpton members of the House who would
vote for Sherman. Since tin*n thut declaration
has been verified; but I am glad to state that, as
rrgards others of thnt party, I was doing them
injustice, as thoir course since has proved; and
1 rise to disclaim any intention ol that sort They
have put themselves right on the record, with the
exception of one or two; aud trust ,that when
tlie time coinos that their votes will be uooded,
they too will be found “right side up with care.”
Again: 1 stated that 1 bilievod that there was
it portion of the Democratic party who wnnld
not under any circumstances lend their influence
to the eielion of an American, as they were so
carried uwuyjwith party feeling tiiat they would
vote for none but one of thoir own party. lam
happy to state that in thut I was in error, for
tho course of a great portion of tho Demucratio
party South has convinced me that they have
been willing, and are still willing, it the exigency
should arise, to unite on an speaker
of the House.
Again: I stated in the letter tho result which
1 thought would follow tho introduction of the
the resolution iff the gentleman from Missouri,
[Mr. Clark,] and while 1 then thought, and new
think, the introduction of that resolution impo
litic and unwise, I would not impugn the motives
of the gentleman who introduced it, for his con
duct on this floor has satisfied me that he was
sincere in his course,.
1 have thought that it was due to myself and
due to my friends on this floor, that 1 should
make this explanation. In regard to the rela
tion existing between my auti-Lecomptonfriends
and the Republican party,l will state that recent
events, and a close observance of their conduct
have convinced me that I was in error as to the
final course of one or two of them, rio much I
have thought it my duty to say to this House, be
cause, os I stated, the letter which explained my
first letter, may never reach my friends* ernstitu
enis.
Mr. Oraige, of North Carolina—That letter has
been copied in papers in toy district, with a view
doubtless, of prejudicing gentlemen who act with
□m on this side of the House. Among other
things it eontains this sentence:
“I have heard the speakers denounce Sher
man as unfit ut live as unfit to die, and have seen
them, ut tho conclusion ,f their remarks, arm
Sherman and walk off in social glee! So roach
for thoir siucority und honest indignation ”
Mr. Hardeman—Tiiat was what I alluded to
just now. Ah I stated the letter was uot written
for publication: and therefore was not worded
with that care which it otherwise would have
been. 1 meant to say that while speakers de
nounced the Republican party, 1 had noticed that
w ith n great majority of them that did not affect
their social relations.
Mr. Craige, of North Carolina—l suppose the
gentleman did not mean that be had seen gentle
men on thid side of the iiou*., after denouncing
tho Ke|iuhlieau candidate, walking out of the hall
with him.
Mr. Hardeman—T have seen what I stated: but
1 have since found out that it was a business
transaction entirely. (Laughter.)
Mr. Craige of North Carolina—l am satisfied
that the gentleman did not see me do that.
IxTBHKHTIKO AIOVF.MKJII ON FOOT. —We SAW
yesterday letter* that have since been forwarded
to tho Hecretary of War, at Washington, and to
Senators W igfall and lloinpbiU, of Texas, from
MeaerC, E. Green and George W. Chilton, offer
ing to tho United States Government thosorvioee
ot a mounted rifle regiment of 100 U Texan vol
unteers, made up from tho counties of Harrison,
I’euols, Kush, Cherokee, Hrnith, Andersen, Up
shur, Cass, and other counties east of the Trinity,
for the protection of the frontier against tho in
vasion that threaten* it from Mexico, und to be
ready ior“auy other emergency.’*
This regiment, tbo writers of the letter* allud
ed to suy, is already organ tied, and i* ready for
immediate service; and they request the Texas
Seuators in Congress to urge the acceptance of
its service* upon the SecMtiiry of War. Wo be
lieve that Mcssre. Green and Chilton leave to-day
eu route for Washington, to facilitate the attain
ment of the end they have iu view. They speak
io warm terms of the character and efficiency of
the regiment that has been raised for the protec
tion of tho frontier of Texas, aud express the
most conAdtnt hopes that the Government will
freely accept their services, and furnish them
with (be necessary equipments.
