BY JAMES GARDNER. A! (i Llßi’A, It A. T3US.SCA I MO LINING, DECEMBEkTi^ [ From our Evening Edition of Yesterday.] [Correspondence of the Const. & Republic.] Millxdgkville, Dec. 12, 1853. Wit. the present letter, I ahali resume my sketches o* i acimg characters in the Georgia Legislature. You see that thin risaged, ca-e --iessiy dressed man, sitting next to the wall, at the extreme end of the desks on the Democra tic side of the house. That is John O. Gartrell, o! Coho, one ot the youngest but most promis ing Democrats in the Legislature. A man of untiring energy, a fluent and ready debater, with a strong oratund voice, he always speaks with telling effect. He never knows when he is whippeo ; driven trots one point, he returns to the contest with renewed vigor. In the midst o. a heated discussion, if he wishes to establish *ime fact by a reference to authority, he don’t slop t° hesitate, but rushes through the crowd gathered in the lobby, in search of some vol ume —that found, he returns with as rapid a pace to press it home upon his adversary. Mr. Gar trell was formerly from V/ilkes, but now is one rs the representatives of Cobb, in the House of K-presentatives. Like most of the speaking members in .be Legislature, he is a lawyer by profession. Tb .<• man walking up the aisle of the House, with firm, decided step, apparently about five feet seven or eight inches in height, having on a sack coat, and wearing black kid gloves, is J. T. Jtwin, of o!d Wilkes. Mr. Irwin is generally regarded a? the leader of the Whig party in the House, lie has spoken but once or twice, and then but for a very short time, since the open ing of the session, and I have, consequently, had but little opportunity to form an estimate of his tdents. What he has said, however, he has said forcibly. His remarks the other clay, upon the postponement of the bill repealing the pres ent tax law, were boldly and strikingly expres sed. Mr. Irwin is the author of the resolutions condemning the administration of Gen. Pierce. What use he intends to make of them remains to be seen, for up to this time he has made no eifort to dispose of them in any way. While among the Whigs, we will point out another of their leading characters; this is E. H. Pottle, of Wairen. Mr. Pottle is a man of sharp features, dark skin, and a traction taller than Mr. Irwin. He speaks frequently, aml’de- in ethical discourses. He gesticulates al m <*t altogether with one arm. but that is kept constantly going. His voice is harsh, but the speaker causes it to he heard throughout the House. Mr. Pottle is a good generalizer; in deed generalization may be said to be his forte. K.a argument in the Bird case was one of the strongest biought to bear against the prisoner.— Mr. Pottle is originally from the iow country, but no w represents, in part, Warren county in t ie lower branch of the General Assembly. It will be perceived that the Senate has con curred with the House, in voting for a recess.— The vo‘e seems to have infused new energy in to the members, for business has been conducted with an energy which exhibits a disposition to despatch it. HOUSE. Mr. Pottle «r,oved that the bill for the relief of Martha A. Greeson and Eirnnot Pascal, lost on Saturday, be reconsidered. The motion to re consider was lost. Mr. Irwin moved to reconsider the bill passed on Saturday, establishing a lottery, for the pur ple of raising- 310,000 to build a Masonic Hall in Columbus. A long discussion on ethics fol lowed, participated in by Messrs Irwin, Pottle, M Dougald. McCuidy, ar.d Mobley. The mo tion was lost, 50 to 51. Mr. Walker, of Richmond, offered a bill for the encouragement of Agriculture. The bill al lows persons living on rivers and creeks to pre vent, by embankments erected on their own lends, the overflow of these streams upon such la rids. A bill, introduced by Col. Martin, of Elbert, 1 1 t . allow the Commissioner of Poor Schools in < Elbert, to pay certain sum* to certain persons' ! alter being anaended, by the addition of several ! 1 other counties, was taken up and passed. J * Mr. Harrison, of Chatham, presented a memo- j * rial representing the injurious influences exerted j by ships, sailing from the port of Savannah, with | 1 cargoes of free negroes. * The committee on Judge Scarborough’s me- j tncrial was authorized to employ a clerk and j f messenger. I The House took up a bill granting $30,000 in j ’ bonds of the State, to the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, on condition that he would furnish iron to the State at 3* cents per poatid. Mr. Walker, of Richmond, objected to the passage of the bill. lie said that ail interests mightctkim of the State like assistance; that ; jf others entered into the iron business, then it i would .create a monopoly in favor of the Ken. Mark A. Cooper. Mr. Crawford, of Cass, advocated the passage of the bill. That the appropriation was for the benefit of an individual, was no argument against thejpasaage of the bill, if it should prove bene- j ficial to the State. He contended that it would greatly develop the wealth and resources of the State. Mr. Pottle opposed the bill and contended that private capital would of it self develop the wealth and resources of the State. Mr. Latham was surprised at the opposition manifested to this bill. The question had not bean met fairly. Gentlemen would not come out end oppose it openly. Mr. Latham read from tbs report several items and commented thereon. After the conclusion of Mr. Latham’s speech, the House adjourned until three o’clock. AVraRKOOX SESSION. The discussion was resumed and finally the bill was put upon ita passage. It was lost by the very decided vote of yeas 32, nays 72. There was co doubt a great struggle in the minds of many, between feeling and judgement, iu the votes which they gave on the passage of the bill. They felt inclined to encourage a man, to whom they believed the State was greatly in debted for the development of one of its most important interests, but at the same time feared that the passage of the bill would become a dangerous precedent for the future. It is to be hoped that Mr. Cooper may receive elsewhere, the assistance which we has sought from the State, and that the Etowah Iron works may thus proveto him a source of wealth, as they have already beceme a credit and an honor to the State. IN THE SENATE. Mr. Dun woody, of Mclntosh, moved to recou- The Daily Constitutionalist and Republic sider the lumber bill passed on Saturday. The motion to reconsider was lost; yeas 27, nays 52. A motion was then made to reconsider the re solution providing for a jecess. The motion pre vailed by a vote of 50 to 38. You can form | some idea of the length of the discussion, which | followed from the number of participants. These i were Messrs. Pope, Dunnagan, Green, Cone, j Moore,Cochran, Moseley, Miller, Clark, Stephens, ! Guerry and Bailey. A tr otion was then made to take up the resolu ! lion, which was carried, 57 to 30. The original resolution was then put and car ried by a vote of 47 to 42. The Senate then ad journed until 3 o’clock. AFTERNOON SESSION — BILLS INTRODUCED. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham: a bill to incorpor ate the ‘‘Orphan House” in Savannah. Mr. White, of Eibert: a bill to amend the act forming a new county from the counties of El bert and Franklin. Mr. Miller, of Richmond : a bill to allow the City Council of Augusta to become the sole owners of the Augusta Canal, and invest them with ali the rights and privileges of the Augusta Canal Company. Also a bill to allow the clerks of the Superior Courts to issue writs of "ne exeat 1 and to commence action thereon. Mr. Jones, of Liberty : a bill to punish persons for buying cotton from slaves, by confinement in the Penitentiary lor not less than three, nor more than five years. Mr. Guyton, of Laurens: a bill to inflict fines of from one to two hundred dollars on all persons found trading with negroes with closed doors, or in case of lailure to pay the fine, to subject them to imprisonment in theooinmon jail of the coun ty at the discretion of the court. Mr. Boggess, of Carroll: a bill to alter the act incorporating the Carrollton Railroad Company, so as to allow the road to be extended from Car rollton to the Alabama line, or any other de sirable point. Also, a bill to add Carroll to the 4th Congres sional District. Mr. Thomas, of Gwinnett: a bill to change the names of certain persons. Mr. Moore, of Lincoln : a bill to allow G. M. Tutt to marry again. Mr. Hull, of Clarke : a bill to allow defendants in execution twelve months time to redeem any real estate sold under execution. Several House bills were read, some the first, some the second and some the third time. One amendatory of the several acts incorpora ting the city of Rome, was read the third time, but pending its passage a memorial was received through Mr. Lamberth of Floyd, from tire Mayor and Aldermen of the city of Rome, praying that the Legislature might defer the passage of the bill for the present. It was indefinitely postponed. Reports were received from several commit tees during the evening. Mr. Dunagan, of Hall, introduced a resolution declaring that the General Assembly of Georgia believe that the Congress of the United States, do not have power to grant land for the construc tion of the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, moved that the special order of the day {the pardon of Elijah Bird) be made the order of the day for to-rnor row. The Senate adjourned till 9i o’clock to moirow. R. P. S.

NOT A PARTICLE OF MERCURY IN IT. AN infallible rkmedt for Scrofula. King’s Evil, Rheumatism, Obstinate Cutaneous Eruptions, Pimples or Pustules on tbe Face. Blotches, Boils, Chronic, Soro Eyes, Ring Worm or Tetter, Scald Head, Enlargement and Pain of the Bones and Joints, Stub born Ulcers, Syphilitic Disorders, Lumbago, Spina, Complaints, and all Diseases arising from an injudi cious use of Mercury, Imprudence in Life, or impurity of the Blood. This valuable Medicine, which has become celebrated for the number of extraordinary cures effected througt its agency, has induced the proprietors, at the urgent request of their friends, to offer it lo th - public, which they do with the utmost confidence in its virtues and wonderful curative properties. The following certifi cates, selected from a large number, are, however, stronger testimony than the mere word of the propri etors ; and are all from gentlemen well known in their localities, and of the highest respectability, many of them now residing in the city of Richmoud, Virginia, F. Boydkn. Esq., of the Exchange Hotel, Richmond, known everywhere, says he has seen the Medicine cslled Carter's Spanish Mixture administered in over a hundred cases, in nearly all the diseases for which it 1* recommended, with the most astonishingly good r» suits. He says it is the most extraordimuy Medicim he has ever seen. Ague and Fever— Great Cure.—l hereby certify, that for three years I had Ague and Fever of the most violent description. I had several Physician.-, took large quantities of Quinine, Mercury, and I believe ail the Tonics advertised, but all without any permanent relief. At last I tried Carter's Spanish Mixture, two bottles of which effectually cured me, and I am happy to say 1 have hail neither Chillsor Fevers since. I con aider it the best Tonic iu the world, and the only medi cine that ever reached my case. JOHN LONGDKN Beaver Dam, near Richmoud, Va. C B. Luck, Esq., now in the city of Richmond, and for many years in the Post Office, has such confidence iu the astonishing efficacy of Carter's Spanish Mixture, that he has bought upwards of 50 bottles, which he has given away to the afflicted. Mr. Luck says he has never known it to fail when taken according to directions. Dr. Mingb. a practising Physician, and formerly of the City Hotel, in the city of Richmond, says he has witnessed in a number of instances the effects of Car ter’s Spanish Mixture, which were most truly surprising. He says in a case of Consumption, dependent on the Liver, the good effects were wonderful indeed. Samuel M. Drinker, of the firm of Drinker Sc Mor ris, Richmond, was cured of Liver complaint of eight years standing, by the use of two bottles of Carter’s panish Mixture. URgiT OVRB OF scrofula—The Editors of the Richmond Republican had a servant employed in their press room, cured of violent Scrofula, combined with Rhematism, which entirely disabled him from work. Two bottles of Carter's Spanish Mixture made a per fect cure of him, and the Editors, in a public notice, say they “cheerfully recommend it to all who are at dieted with any disease of the blood.” Still another curb op Scrofula.—l had a very valuable boy cured of Scrofula by Carter’s Spanish Mix ture. 1 consider it a truly valuable medicine. JAMES M. TAYLOR, Conductor on the R F. St p R, R. Co., Richmond, Va. SALT RHEUM OF 20 TEARS STANDING CURED.

Wm. A. Matthews, of Richmond, Va., had a servant cured of Syphilis, in the worst form, by Carter’s Span ish Mixture. lie says he cheerfully recommends it, and considers it an invaluable medicine. Richard E. West, of Richmond, was cured of Scrof ula, and what physicians called confirmed Consump tion, by three bottle’s of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, Edwin Burton, Commissioner of the Revenue, says he has seen the good effects of Carter’s Spanish Mixture in a number of Syphilitic cases, and says it is a perfect cure for that horrible disease. Wm. G. Harwooit, of R chmond, Ya., cured of Old Sores and Ulcers, which disabled him from walking.
