Washington, Dec. 8. —After the reading of the Journal, Mr. Jonei, of lowa, with the view of giving time for the formation of the Standing Committees of the Senate, moved that when the Senate adjourned it be until Monday next. Agreed to. Mr: Hunter said—Since the adjournment es the last Congress an event has occurred which it becomes us to notice. The American people have lost a Vice President and the Senate a pre siding officer by the death ofWm. R. King, who departed this lile in the month of April last at his home in the State ot Alabama. I rise to ask that we may pause for a day at least in our de liberations upon the affairs of life to devote it to the memory of one who was bound to u* by so many personalities and official ties. Surely, sir, there are none within the limits of this wide spread confederacy to whom the life and services of Wm. R. King are known, who would not be ready with some offering of public respect or personal affection to bestow upon his tomb. There have been few public men whose lives have been as long and as active as his who have made more friends, and I am sure ever left few er enemies. Nor was he one of those cold and impassive characters which shed their light without heat, but its kindly influences fell with genial and friendly warmth within whatever circle he might move. Here at least is a public man in whose life there can be found no instance of a mean or equivocating action, none of a departure from the self imposed restrictions of a refined and lofty sense of honor, and none in which either the fear of man or the seductions of ambition tempted him to a deed which could destroy either his own self-respect or the respect of others lor him. He trod the difficult and tedious paths to political preferment long and successfully and yet he kept his robes unsoiled by the vile mire which so often pollutes those ways. It is a happy thing for a country when the lives of its public men may be thiown frealy open to the world and challenge its closest scru tiny with a consciousness on the part of the friendly critic that there is no blot to be con cealed and no glaring fault which a love of truth forbids him to deny, and his own sense ot right scarcely allows him to palliate. It is said that the story of every human life, if rightly told, may convey a useful lesson to those wh® survive. Os all the public men whom I have known there are none whose lives teach more impressively the great moral of the strength which public virtue gives than that of Col. King. His was an instance of those brilliant qualities whose rare assemblage the world calls genius, but, by purpose to pursue the right, and a capacity to gather wisdom from experience. He was no orator and yet from the force of character he could wield an influence which mere oratory never commanded. He had none of that presumptuous self-confilence which so often misleads ourselves and others, end whicii, though a dangerous, is still a commanding quali ty —but he knew how to inspire a people v\ ith a j firm confidence iu the soundness oi his judgment and the integrity of bis purpose, so as to be looked to as a safe depository of trust and pow er. Although gentie and kind in his intercourse with others he could be stern enough when the public interests or bis personal honor required it. He was a man, Sir, whose whole soul would have sickened under a sense of personal dishonor. It is notsurp ising then at each step intt.e po litical career of such a man should bave been crowned with public honor*. At the age of twenty-one he was elected to the Legislature of North Carolina, his native State, where i.e served until he was made solicitor. In that ca pacity he served until be wa* twenty.five years of age, when he was sent to the House of Repre sentative 5 of the United States, whe • he served from 1811 to 1816, when he resigned to go abroad as Secretary of Legation to Mr. Pinckney our Minister to Russia. Upon his return he emigrated to Alabama, where he was almost immediately sent to their Constitutional Con vention, and at the first session of tee first Leg islature which assembled .afterwards, be was sent to the Senate of the Uuited States from the State of Alabama, where he may be said to have served continuously until his election to the Vice Presidency with the exception of two years when he was Minister to France. Finally he was elected the Vice President ot the United States by a large majority of the American peo ple. As he ascended step by step to this eleva tion, his vision seemed to grow with his horizon, and when the occasion came, he was always found equal to it, for to the aid of a sound judg ment he brought, as he grew older, tne wisdom of a large experience. His political career may be said to have been one triumphant march through life, a march in which his step neither faltered nor stumbled in ascending to that place which was perhaps the chief object of his aspiration, and yet as if to show that even the most successful of men must sooner or later feel the emptiness of the earthly objects of our usual pursuit. That much prized honor was to him the Dead Sea fruit which turns to ashes on the lips it touches: but it carne too late, the breath of public applause could not re vive the flame which flickered in the lamp of life. In vain did the assiduity of relatives and friends surround him with affectionate care, —in vain did the aspirations of a whole neopie as cend to heaven for his recovery. The balmy in fluences of neither sea fnor sky could revive or restore him. When the public messenger came to clothe him with the forms of office, his chief earthly wish was to see his home once more, and, in tne midst of familiar scenes, to die amidst his friends. His desire was gratified. Life and its busy scenes on this°side~of the grave, are now closed on him forever, but its tale yet remains to be told, not by me, sir, or at this time, but it will be told in the chronicles of his State. Hereafter, when it may become a labor of love to some of her sons to write the story ot its foundersand sages, it will be told in our own political history by whoever may por tray the stirring and eventful scenes in which he acted a prominent and useful part. It will be told, too, and perhaps heard with most inter est in the traditions of a family, of which he was the ornament and pride. Mr. President, those to whom our people have been long accustomed to look in times of difficulty and emergency for counsel and opin ion, are failing fast around us. It is an anxious thing to feel their loss at a period like this, preg nant with change and teeming perhaps with great and strange events.—The men we cannot recall, but let us preserve their memory—let ua study their teachings and it will be well if in many respects we shall follow their example?. I offer the following resolution : Resolved, That from respect to the late Wm. R. King, Vice President of the United States, the chair of the President of the Senate be sbiouded with black, and as a further testimony of re spect to the memory of the decased the members of the Senate will go into mourning by wearing crape on their left arm for thirty days. Ordered , That the Secretary of the Senate communicate this resolution to the House of Re presentatives. Mr. Everett then addressed the Senate as fol lows : Mr. President, I have been requested to sec ond the motion which has just been made by the Senator from Virginia. Ido so with great cheerfulness. It was my g< o i fortune to enjoy the acquaintance of the late Vice President, I hope even some portion of his friendly regard, for a longer period, probably, than most of those within the sound of my voice—a period of near ly thirty years. Such being the case, I feel a* if I ought not to remain silent at this last moment, when our relations to him as members of this Senate are by the performance of this day : s mel ancholy duty about to be closed forever. There is an ancient maxim, sir, founded at once in jus tice and right feeling, which bids us say nothing but what is “good of the dead” I can obey j this rule in reference to the late Vice President without violating the most scrupulous dictates of sincerity. I can say nothing but what is good of him, tor 1 have never seen or heard anything but good of him for thirty years that I have jtnown him personally and by reputation. It would be hardly expected of me to attempt to detail the incidents of the private life or the public career of the late Vice President. That duty belongs toothers by whom it has been or will no doubt be appropriately performed. I regrat particularly on this occasion the un avoidable absence ot our colleagues from Alaba ma. It is the province of those of us not con nected with him by political associations, es pecially of those inhabiting remote parts of our country to express their cordial concurrence in the affectionate praises which hare been or may be pronouced by his fellow citizens and neigh bors. Faw of the public men of the day had been so intimately associated with the Senate as the late Vice President. I think he had been a mem ber of the body for more years than any person now belonging to it. Besides this, a relation of a different kind had grown up between him and the Senate. The Federal Constitution devolves upon the people, through the medium of the electoral col leges, the choice of the presiding officer of this body, but whenever the Senate was called to supply the place teraporaiily, for a long couise es years, and till he ceased to belong to it, it turned spontaneously to him. He undoubtedly owed this honor to distinguished qualifications for the chair. He possessed, in an eminent de gree, that quickness of perception, that prompt ness of decision, that familiarity with the now somewhat complicated rules of Congrassional proceedings, and that urbanity of manner which are required iu a presiding officer. Not claiming, although an acute and forcible debater, to rank with his illustrious contempo raries, whom now alas, we can mention only to deplore,—with Calhoun, with Clay, and with Webster—(l name them alphabetically, and who will presume to arrange them on any other prin ciple.) where their unmatched eloquence so often shook the walls of this Senate, the late Vice Pre sident possessed the rare, and the rightly impor tant latent power of controlling with impartial ity tne storm of debate, and moderating between mighty spirits whose ardent conflicts at times seemed to tkeaten the stability of the Republic. In fact, sir, he was rightly endowed with what Cicero beautifully commends as *the boni senato ris prudenti —the wisdom of a good senator—and in his accurate study and ready application of the rules of parliamentary law he rendered a ser vice to the country, not perhaps of the most bril liant kind, but assuredly of no secondary impor tance. There is nothing which more distinguishes the great national race to which we belong than its aptitude for government by deliberative as semblies, —its willingness, while it asserts the largest liberty of parliamentary right, to respect what the Senator from Virginia in another con nection has called the self-imposed restrictions of parliamentary order; and I do not think it an ex aggeration to say that there is no trait in their character which has proved more conducive to the despatch of the public business, to the free dom of debate, to the honor of the country, I will say even which has done more to establish and perpetuate constitutional liberty. The long and faithful Senatorial career of the late Vic* President received at last its appropri ate reward. The people of the United States having often witnessed the disposition of the Senate to place him at their head, and the digni fied and acceptable manner in which he bore himself in that capacity, conferred upon him a twelve month service in that office, which is shown by repeated and recent experience to be above the second if not actually the first in their gift—the offioe which placed him constitutional ly r.nd permanently during its continuance in the chair of the Senate. A mysterions dsipensa tion of Providence has nipped these crowning honors in the bud. A disease for which the perpetual summer and perfumed breezes of the tropics afforded no labor, oyerteok him, and at an age when he might, in the course of nature, have reasonably looked for ward to still many years of active service.— Clothed by a special and remakable act of Con gress, even] while under a foreign jurisdiction,with the constitutional qualifications to enter upon the high office to which he had been elected, he returned, not to exercise its functions, but to seek his much loved home, and there to die. Thus, sir, he has left us to choose for a little while lon ger the shadows which he has exchanged tor un utterable realities. He has left us, sir, prema turely lor everything but his spotless name and his entrance on th* well earned honors of Ins unambitious career. And we, Senators, tor ail the interchange of kindness—for all the inter course of private life—for all the act of co-ope ration in the public service to which, for at least four years the Senate was looking forward in its connection with him—have nothing left to offer to his friends and his memory but the unavailing tribute of this lastmourniut farewell. 1 second the resolutions of the Senator from Virginia. Mr. Cass addressed the Senate as Inflows: Again his death invaded the high places of our land, and has taken from ui a citizen distinguish ed by his talents, his worth, and his services, and enjoying the confidence and affection of his countrymen. In the Providence of God these visitations come to warn us that none are exempt from the decree that “in life we are in tbs midst of death,” and that, “be ye also ready” is a sol emn admonition announced to us from the cradle to the grave, to the mighty and the lowly as they successively fall before the great destroyer. Tre lesson is the more impressive the higher the position and the more eminent the character of him whose departure we may be called upon to mourn, and when one who occupied the second station in our country is summoned from the duties of life to the responsibility of that which is to come, as the loss is a national one, the man ifestation of public sympathy and the acknowl edgment of the public grief should be national also. Our lamented friend, the late Tice Presi dent, has been taken from us full of years indeed and of honors, but in the midst of his usefulness, and whea just prepared to enter upon the high career to which he had been called by the Amer ican people. Upon this occasion I desire to do little more than to express those sentiments of affectionate regard with which an acquaintance of many years had inspired me, leaving to others who have this day well fulfilled the task, to present those features of his character and services which endeared him to his countrymen in life, and will endear to them his memory, now thatthescer.es ot life are forever closed upon him. His career was eminently useful and fortunate, and in the w .ole range of American Statesmen there are ew indeed to whom our youth can better look, when seeking models of imitation and encour agement, than to William R. King. Firm but courteous frank and learless, of high honor and irreproachable morals, he brougnt a vigorous in fchJ e n t hi nd r aned ? rid extensive information to the public Counsels, and the ripe fruit of his ex- Enl J °r d t 0 • tbese en(iowme nts gave con \ iction toi his opinions and authority to his ex ample. We always heard him with attention for he elucidated every subject he and brought to our discussions the stores of his knowledge and experience with a manner as unassuming as it was captivating. While lov ing the State in which he so long resided and which had given him so many proofs of confi dence and affection, he loved also our common country, and at home and abroad proved himself the true patriot, the able and faithful citizen. In ail the relations of private life he w as loved and honored, as well from the amenity of his manner as from the kindness of his heart, and in the so cial circle he was the very model of the accom plished gentleman. For almost half a century he was in the public service, and was intimately connected with ma ny of the great events which marked that long and stirring, period, and he proved himself equal to all the circumstances in which he was placed, sustaining himself with signal ability among men whose renown is written in imperishable characters upon the history of our count y. But better than all this,he was ajsincere Christian,ad ding another to the long list of eminent men who have searched the Gospel of Jesus, and nave found it the will and word of God. In his last illness, w hen the world and the things ol world were fast fading before him, he found hope and cousoiation in the piomises of the Saviour, : and calmly surveying the approach of death he 1 looked beyond its power, to the glorious immor- j tality promised to the true believer. The places I that knew him will know him no more, but though dead, his memory is embalmed in the he rt* of his countrymen, and there it will live honored and cherished long after all those who aie now taking part in this tribute to his worth shall have followed him in the journey where for a br.ef space he has preceded us through the“dark valley ot the shadow ol death.” Mr. Douglass—l can scarcely hope to add any thing ol value to what has been so well said by j others. For the last eight months the rno irnful event which is now officially announced to the b«nat« has bees known, frit, and lamented by us »H, In th« mein tim« we have pawed through scenes well calculated to engross our thoughts and divert our attention, if not to obscure the freshness of the first impression or assuage the keenness of that sorrotf Which filled every heart. But no matter what the lapse of time nor its re sults, the meeting of the Senate and the absence of one whom all admired and loved and delight ed to greet and honor, calls up associations and reminiscences which impart to the occasion all the effects of a sudden and unexpected bereave ment. Those whose happiness it was to be associated with Colonel King in public duty and private intercourse, are alone capable of realizing the ex tent of our loss. His example in all the rela tions of life, public and private, may be safely commended to our children as worthy ot imita tion. Few men in this country have ever serv ed the public for so long a period of time, and none with a more fervent patriotism or unblem ished reputation. For forty-five years he de voted his energies and talents to the performance of arduous public duties—always performing his trust with fidelity and ability, and never failing to command the confidence, admiration, and gratitude of an enlightened constituency. While he held, in successionfnumerous official stations, in each of which he mantained and enhanced his previous reputation, yet the Senate was the place of his choice, and the theatre of his greatest use fulness. Here he sustained an enviable reputa tion during a period of thirty years senatorial service, always manifesting his respect lor the body by his courtesy and propriety of deport ment Here, where his chsracter was best un derstood, and his usefulness and virtues most highly appreciated, his loss, as a public man and a private friedd, is most painfully felt and deeply lamented. Mr. Clayton.—l shall only pay a debt of honor to the spirit of the dead, by offering my humble testimonial in addition to what has been so ap propriately and eloquently expressed by others. A quarter of a century has elapsed since I became acquainted with William R. King as a brother Senator on this floor. During the greater part of that long period I was an attentive observer of his course as a public man, and I cannot in justice remain silent when an opportunity is of fered ot paying a tribute to the memory of one whoso honorably deserved it. That man, who, dying, can be said to have passed his days without a stain upon his reputa tion, has justly earned the honors due to a well spent life. The Roman poet has immortalized the sentiment— '"Nee male vixit, qui natns moriensque and William R. King may be truly said to have passed from thecradie to the grave without a blot upon his name. The chief part of his history is written upon the records of this Senate, in which his high charac>r as a legislator and a statesman was firmly established. I would avoid the common places employed on occasioas similar to the pre sent, when speaking of such a man. It is not enough to say of him that he performed his duties well as a member of the Senate. He was distinguished by the scrupulous correctness ot his conduct. He was remarkable for his quiet and unobtrusive, but active, practical usefulness as a legislator. He was emph&rically a business mem ber of the Senate, and, without ostentation, ori ginated and perfected more useful measures than many who filled the public eye by greater dis play and daily commanded the applause of a listening Senate. He never sought with some of his cotetnporaries to earn a brilliant reputation by the exhibition of splendid powers of oratory ; and, to his honor be it spoken, he never vexed the ear of the Senate with ill-timed, tedious, or unnecessary debate. He preferred to be checked for silence rather than to be tasked for speech. Yet, on ali occasions when a great issue was be fore the country, calling lor the exercise of manly firmness, courage and patriotism, Mr. King was always with those who stood foremost for the safety and the glory of the Republic. He graced that chair of the Senate longer than any other man that ever occupied it—not con tinuously, or by virtue merely ot repeated elec tions as our temporary President, but often also at the requestor' the presiding officer. I think he wa9 thus engaged in the performance of the duties of President of the Senate during the great er part of the terms of five Vice Presidents; and at last he reached the second office in the gift of the people—an office excelled iu honor only by one other in the world. To preside over such an assembly as the Senate of the United States, and to do that, as he did it, was enough to satisfy the highest aspirations of an honorable and pario tic amoition. In this elevated position he was distinguished (and I may add he was never excelled) for the dignity of his deportment, the impartiality of his decisions, and the promptness and fidelity with which he maintained the order and enforced the rules of this body. I can remember no instance in which he lost sight of what was due to his self-respect or the rights of his political oppo nents, by the indulgence of party feelings in the chair. Presiding, as he did, when party spirit raged in torrents of fire, all just men will admit that he could bave been no common man who maintained his high character for justice and impartiality at such a period. A little man, at that time, would have shown his littleness by yielding himself up as an in strument of oppression to the minority. But he sought an honest and enduring fame, and he ob tained it without the employment of any un worthy means, or the slightest sacrifice of prin ciple. He engaged no hireling press, no mer cenary libeler to traduce others, or to trumpet his own fame. He paid respect to the feelings of others, and rigidly exacted the observance of the same respect for himself—Generous as he was brave, his conduct to his opponents, suffering under defeat, was always liberal and kind; and, by his inflexible truth, he won the entire confi dence of men of all parties in his own unblem ished honor. Others have spoken of his services in other places, but I shall speak of nothing to which I was not a witness. While Mr. King remained in the Senate, there was still one member of the body who had served with me on this lloor during the session of 1829-’3O. It is melancholy to re flect that nearly ail the rest of the Senators of that period have closed their career on earth, and that not one of those who survived remains here with me to-day. The master spirits of the time were among the Senators of that day. I speak not of the living. But here, then, were Clay, Calhoun, Forsyth, Webster, and Livingston, the learned and labori ous Woodbury, the astute Grundy, the witty, sarcastic, and ever-ready Holmes, the classic Robbins,arid, among many others justly distin guished, the graceful and accomplished orator of Carolina, Robert Y. Hayne. “Whose words had such a melting flow. And spoke of truth so sweetly well, They dropped like the sorenest snow, And all was brightness wherotbey fell.” Oh ! I could enumerate, and delight to dwell on the virtues of them all—and then revert to him whose fame we now commemorate, as to one not inferior in integrity and honor to the proudest among them. But these retninisceeces are attended by the mournful reflection that our connection with them in this world are ended forever— “ Around us, each dissevorod chain In sparkling ruin lies, And earthly hands can ne’er again Unite those broken ties.” I he resolutions were unanimously adopted. ; Mr. Hunter. As a further mark of respect to i the memory of the deceased, I move that the j benate do now adjourn. 1 he motion was agreed to; and the Senate ad | journod to Monday. house of representatives. Mr. McMullen B’ated hia intention to intro duce a bill equalizing the pay of members of j Congress. j On motion of Mr. Riddle, it was resolved, that j during the session of Congress, the Representa i tives be furnished with such newspapers as they may select, not exceeding in amount the cost of , five daily papers. Mr. Bayly, of Virginia, offered a resolution providing for the election of a House Librarian, who he said has heretofore been appointed by the Clerk as a matter ot sufference. The House refused to table the resolution, by twelve majori ty. Further proceedings were interrupted by the reception of the Senate resolutions of respect to the memory of Wm. R. King. Mr. Harris, of Alabama, said the tidings of the mournful event which the resolution of the Senate was intended to commemorate, was months ago heralded to every hamlet of our wide-spread con- j federacy, and the generous hearts of even distant j lauds mingled their regret 9 with our own, that a : wise and virtuous and distinguished man has , been stricken from the number of earth’s chil- j dren.—Tears have ceased to flow, and hearts the ! most deeply penetrated by the afflicting visita- j tion of Providence have learned to contemplate I it with that iplrit of resignation which time { ever supplfes as a medicine for the sorrows of j death. Mr. Harris gave a biographical sketch ot Mr. \ King, remarking that, for forty years, he brought | to bis country’s use the rich gifts ot his patriot- j ism and his wisdom—the glowing energies of ! his early manhood, and the matured counsels of I a wise and honorable old age. His life is a beau tiful illustration of the truth, that the line of du ty is alike the path of safety and the way to honor. He paid a glowing eulogy to his private worth, concluding with the following words: Whila the joyous gratulations of an admiring people were welling up from the depths of the nation’s heart, and falling with thrilling accents upon the ear of gratified ambition, there was mingled with them another voice from the spirit land, whose tones were heard above the loud tumult of popular applause, calling to ths falling States man, ’‘Child of the Dust, come away.” The garlands had been thrust upon the victim, only that it might prove a more fitting sacrifice for the altar which already smoked for its immola tion. ‘What a humiliating mockery of earth's as pirations, which end in nothingness; of its eva nescent honors, which vanish at the touch, and how strikingly suggestive of the solemn reflec tion that the “paths of glory lead but to the grave.” He concluded by offering the following resolution: Resolved , That from an unfeigned respect to the late Wm. R. King. Vice President of ths United States, and President of the Senate, the Speak *r’s chair be shrouded in black during the present session; and, as a further testimony of respect for the memory of the deceased, ths members and officers of this House will go into mourning and wear black crape on the left arm for thirty days, and as a further mark of respect, the House now adjourn. Joseph R. Chandler, of Pa., said the specta cle presented at the present moment was replete with instruction and encouragement. The rep resentatives of a great nation pause in the micst of their legislative business to express their res pect for a man who owed his elevation less to his striking qualities than to the gentle virtues which are so slow to secure general appreciation. Congress, in paying this tribute of gratitude tea public functionary, declare they commemorate the virtues by which he achieved his elevation, and thus associate the amenities of private life with the honors of official distinction. The representative* i'rotn Alabama had re quested him to take part in the melancholy duty in which they were now engaged. He said it was an honor thus to be called to do honor to the memory of the good, and proceeded in elo quent terms, to speak of the deceased in connex ion with the workings ot our Republican form of government, concluding with the remark, that while the nation enjoys unbounded prosperity it will not fail to concede due gratitude to those whose knowledge, services and virtues, procured the blessings. Mr. Latham likewise paid his tribnte t* the illustrious departed, from whose lips first came to him words ol encouragement and counsel. Mr. Taylor, of Ohio, briefly eulogised the de ceased statesman. Mr. Ashe, having the honor to represent a large portion of the district which first sent Mr. King to Congress, and, having enjoyed his friend ship, thought it to be his solemn duty to express his feelings on this sad occasion. Mr. Benton said he must be excused for de parting from the rule which he had laid down for himself, not to speak on such occasions. The relations between tbe deceased and himself, however, must plead his apology. Natives of the same State, immigrating when both were young to what was then known as the tar West, returned bv tbe favor of their adopted States to seats in the Senate of the United States, and nearly at the same time, in eighteen hundred and eighteen, or nineteen and twenty, and nearly of the same age, they remained together nearly thirty years in that body, with the exception of a brief interval, when Mr. King represented his country at a foreign court. Intimately associa ted in all the current business of the Senate du | ring that time, and in all the amenities of private and social life, there grew up that state of teei iug and intimacy, which gave him the privilege ! now to speak. ' Thirty years a*-o he knew him in Congress.— ■ His knowledge went back forty years, and still j did not reach the commencement of Mr. King’s I public services. Forty years ago he saw him in this bod> —laithfui to every duty to his native State, he was ever alive to the interests of that jof his adoption. Asa friend, as an associate, as i a native of the same State with the late Vice j President, in giving this last expression in favor | of one so long associated with him he must think, ! being his senior in age, it a providential privi lege on such an occasion to join his voice with that of those who preceded him in doing him honor, in the presence of the nation’s representa tives. Mr. I hiilips paid an eloquent tribute to the | deceased, concluding with the expressions of the hope that the light of his example may long con tinue to illuminate the path of the representa tives ot the State which now holds his remains and cherishes his memory. Mr. Harris’ resolu tions were adopted, and the House adjourned till Monday. 1 Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier.] Baltimore, Dec. 15.— Additional Items per ths Asia. —Aii Pacha, who was at Dabritchia with 25.000 men,and Ismail Pacha, who was along the Danube from Sistin to Widdin with 35,000 men, were to have made, on the 2ith ult., a | simultaneous attack on the Russian lines. The result ot the movement was not known at the departure of the Asia. The quotations of Ex change, however, in Vienna, on Thursday, the Ist inst., which were received at Liverpool by telegraph, denoted the prevalence of renewed distrust, such as hail been exhibited on occasions when news unfavorable to the Russians had transpired. Omer Pacha had intercepted letters from Prince Menschikoff to Prince Gortschakoff advising him to keep quiet in the Principalities. Fifty pieces of artillery had been sent to Adria nople, and the Palace there was repairing for the reception of the Sultan. Ihe London Weekly Press says that it has the best authority for saying that the Emperor oi Russia had addressed a brief but conclusive note to France and England, announcing that no lurther negotiations regarding Eastern affairs could be listened to, and that Russia had chosen to settle the question by war. In consequence ol the continued heavy rains ; along the whole extent of the Lower Danube, which made extended military operations impos sible, both the Russian and the Turkish Com m nders were getting their troops under cover, and Omer Pacha had marched the bulk of his troops back to the quarters occupied by them previous to their crossing the Danube. The Turks, however, had formed an entrenched camp i between Kalafat and Krajova. The London Times, referring to the report ; that the Turks had advanced from Kalafat—the j key,to Upper Wallachia, which is the only moun- ! tainous part of the Principality—to Krajova, ths capital of Little Wallachia, and thence actively along the Danube, say* that the campaign in i Wallachia had only just commenced; which seems very probable, as it is reported that the fourth and fifth Russian reserve corps are remov ing from Bessaiabia into Wallachia. It is reported in Vienna that an alliance had been formed between the Servians and Monte negrins, and advices from that city to the 28th ult., state that Austria supports the neutrality »f Servia. The Sultan declares, however, that he will march troops through Servia, if it be neces sary. The Russians are reported to have required from England the recall of Admiral Slade, and Capt. Borlaz, commissioned officers in the Brit ish Navy, both ot whom now hold commands in the Turkish fleets. The Turkish Govern ment strictly prohibits Letters of Alaryut being granted to any vessels. The Asia brings no English intelligence of any importance. The anniversary of the Polish I Revolution was celebrated in Loadon on the Bth ultimo. A telegraphic despatch received from Madrid states that the Prince Royal of Portugal will ! probably soon be declared of age. i Loss of the Brio Palo Alto, of this Port ' —We regret to learn by the arrival at this port. 1 yesterday of the French Barque Neustrie, Capt. ( Ratnal, that on the 4th inst.. just before daylight, < between Cape Florida and Gun Key Light, she j came in contact with the brig Palo Alto, Capt. Kay, of this port.

Cour.Althinst. aUgUsta ga, SUNDAY MORNING, DEC. 18. Weighing Cotton—The Legislature. The La Grange Reporter publishes the follow ing bill, which has recently passed the House of Representatives of the Georgia Legislature : A Bill,— An Act to alter an amend an Act to regulate the weighing of Cotton and other Commodities in this State, approved Dec. 8, 1806. Section 1. Be it enacted, Itc., That from af ter the passage of thia Act, the sth Section of an Act to regulate the weighing of Cotton and oth er Commodities in this State, approved Dec. 8, 1806, shall be altered and amended so as to read as follows : It shall not be lawful for any scalesman, or other person, in any of the cities, towns, villages, railroad stations or depots, in this State, to weigh any bale, bag or package of Cotton, tierce or halt tierce of Rice, box or barrel of Indigo, or any other article of produce disposed of by weight without first taking and subscribing the follow ing oath, before some one of the Justices ot the Inierior Court or Justice of the Peace, of the said counties: I, A. 8., do solemnly swear or affirm, as the case may be, that I will justly, impartially and without deduction for wet or other cause, weigh all bales, bags or packages of Cotton, tierce or half tierce of Rice, boxes or barrels of Indigo, and all other articles of production disposed of by weight, that may be brought to me for that purpose, and mark the true weight thereon, with out any deduction whatever, and render a true and accurate account thereof to the parties con cerned, if so required, so help me God. This Act to take effect on and after the Ist day of Sep tember, 1854. Speaking of this act, the Chronicle $ Sentinel, of Saturday, correctly remarks: “This may be very properly termed legisla tion extraordinary, and would be more justly designated, a Bill to prevent the selling of Cotton in Georgia. “ Cotton, unlike almost all other commodities of commerce, will absorb a very large amount of water, without being permanently injured, if im mediately exposed to the atmosphere where it can be dried; and ;t :s well known to men ex perienced in the trade that a bale of Cotton will absorbe five to ten or more pounds of moisture) by being stored in a damp locality, even with out having been exposed to rain, and when ex posed to lain for a day, will absorb from twenty to fiity pounds ber bale. A similar expose of any other article of commerce produced in Geor gia, would either destroy it entirely, or render it unmerchantable; hence we shall treat of Cot ton alone. What, then, is the proper course for Legislators to pursue in reference to the weigh ing of Cotton by Factors and their employers’— To our mind it is very clear. The less legisla tion the better. If, however, they determine to have weighers sworn, (which we regard very unnecessary, for if a man is not disposed to act honestly, swearing him to do so will impose no obligation upon him,) let them be sworn to make a fair and impartial “ deduction for wet or other cause,” according to the best of their judg ment and bel es. An the weigher is always a disinterested party, neither the owner nor pur chaser of Cotton, he has no motive but tonctim psrtialiy between the holder and purchaser; the latter of whom is scarcely ever known to him, till after the Cotton has been weighed and mark ed. True, he would be at fault sometimes, but his only motive would be to do justice. Where as, under the above bill, he could never do jus tice, because he would be required to mark a wet package the same u a dry one (the actual weight,) and report accordingly. The holder of Cotton, would, therefore, get a certificate of the weight of Cotton, when, iu fact, many poundsof it would be water—a resuit which no honttt man will desire. u We pass over, without comment, Ihe induce ments which this bill holds out for the perpetra tion of fraud and corrupt practices, and proceed to remark that, experience has shown that the pre sent system is not only a very fair and just one between buyer and seller, but that the aetual result of the Cotton trade prove, that the sellers have had the advantage under it, because the weighers have uniformly taken off too little; hence the buyer suffers the loss at the final fort ol destination for an insufficient deduction for wet or other causes. ’ We might enlarge upon this subject, but we deem it unnecessary to do so, to practical, honest, business men ; none of whom can faii to seethe positive injustice which such a bill would pro duce. “We have said that this bill would be more properly designated a bill to prohibit the sale of Cotton in Georgia, and such would be its effects upon the Cotton trade in every city, town and village in the State. For whenever it becomes the law of the land, buyers will abandon every market in the State, and repair to those markets in other States, where the Cotton trade is car ried on upon honest and legitimate commercial principles—a basis which no intelligent business man would claim for it under the operations of this law. “Os the propriety of weighers on railroads, marking full weight, we have not spoken, nor do we regard a law necessary. They are the i agents of the company, who requre pay for the j number of pounds they transport, whether water ;or Cotton; and it is manifestly just and proper i that the owner should pay for every pound. This I the company will demand without any law for their protection, and have it, or not forward the I produce.'’ Death of Jehu C. Holcombe. The Mobile Tribune of th# 10th inst. says:-We are sorry to be compelled to announce the death of John C. Holcombe, Esq., of our city. He died last night about 7 o’clock, of an affection of the heart. He was a few years since an emi nent merchant of Augusta, Ga., and subsequent ly one of the largest merchants of Charleston, S. C. He had resided in Mobile for several years past, and was when he died, still an active mer chant, and agent for the Augusta, (Ga.) Mutual ; I Insurance Company. His integrity during a I long life has, to our knowledge, never been ques -1 tioned, and a numerous family and large circle of friends mourn his loss. His age was fifty-eight years. Cologne. We have received from Messrs. N. J. Fogarty | Sc Co., successors to P. A. Moise, a bottle of Co- j logne, of their own manufacture, which for colo j and odo will compare with any imported article of the kind wa have teen. Those in want of Cologne, we would recommend to call cn Messrs ft. J. F .Sc Co. Offers ol assistance to the amount of at least one hundred and forty thousand dollars have been tendered the Messrs. Harpers, from individuals with whom they have had no previous connec tion. Another gratifying svidenc# of the sym- I patby aecorcted to the* by the buiinesi Comma, nity, is the offer of the various insurance compa. nies to waive their sixty days ot grace, and set tle at once for their several liabilities. (Correspondence of the Const. & Republic.) Milledgevills, Dec. 15, 1853. Mr. Editor: Ihe discussion on the WomarPs bill still continues. It has become an intellec tual tournament, and both on yesterday and to day the ladies greeted the appearance of each knight upon the held, and bestowed upon their defenders the applause of their smiles. To no tice the arms and the deeds of all of the gallant knights, would occupy more time than the her ald of the tournament can well spare. The knight from the county of Spalding, wearing a livery that has assumed a silver hue through age, early made an appearance in the contest, and proclaimed war upon the rights of married wo men. On many an occasion before women had smiled upon him, and recently her presence bad inspired his nerve, and he had laid at her feet a votive offering. Such a proclamation, therefore was not to have been expected irom him. The challenge thus boldly made, provoked to the de fence of woman the noble knight from Houston, and right gallantly did he bear himself in the contest. His was the spirit “ Where heroes war, the foremost place I claim, The first in danger, and the first in lame.” But I will no longer detain you from this effort, but will enable each and all to judge of its mer its for themselves. Mr. McGehee said, that a number of pictures had been drawn with considerable dramatic ef fect,of the wholesome appearance ofexisting laws in which the distinguished Senators from Spal ding and Lincoln have expressed a deep interest in the rights of the weaker sex. They claim to be the champions of their rights, w.hen all is •unshine and prosperity, and like holiday corne to their rescue at a moment when their generous aid is least needed. I, sir, follow the teachings of a different ministry. Their fervid protestations of sleepless vigilance in guarding them from danger, are only heard when danger is not near, And I must confess, that not a soli tary argument has been offered to weaken my convictions of the overwhelming merits of the bill before us. Ridicule is the formidable wea pon of their warfare, and when foiled in its use, a swarm ot imaginary evils, that w ill imperil the country, are presented to alarm the timid and drive the wavering from any preposessions* which they may have in favor of this measure. I have gazed intently upon the bright pictures, which they have presented, but have not detect ed those beauties, nor have I been driven from my propriety by the frightful sketches, which they have posted in the path to defeat the Wo man’s bill. They, sir, have only presented the J right side of the picture. I shall invotre their j attention whilst I present mine. I have seen j the Senator from Spalding basking in the smiles, j that fall upon him, as soft and refreshingly from I the gallery, as vernal dews upon the cedars ot ! Mount Labanon. And I have seen him so in- I spired by the scene as to cause his thirsty nerve j to drink deeply of the Pierian spring, and mount ing its Pegasus, convey with the speed of Mer | cury, its votive offering to the gallery : when ! three cheers for the Senator from Spalding echo 'ed and reverberated through this hall. But be fore the eweet incense of their smiles ceases to I rise from the tribute of his muse, how sadly does j the «cene change! He is instantly transformed ! from the gay Lothario into the cold phlegmatic i stoic. I confess, sir, that the former character ; has more charms for me than the latter. | Now, sir, I wish to present to the Senator ' j from Spalding an image of the future; one which, i under the providence «f God, may become a sad ! reality. Suppose, that after a few short years I have passed away, the Senator from Spalding, in i hi 3 ministrations going about doing good, sees in i the distance a miserable hovel, with all the in j dications of external poverty. He approaches . ! with steady step and solemn brow,and announces , | the cheering tidings, that the poor have the gos . ! pel preached to them, the only ray of hope that ■ gleams through the surrounding darkness. He > i beholds a withered form, a care-worn and de : | jected countenance, with eyes sunk by grief,— ■ the drapery of wretchedness every where to be j seen. The oaths and nonsensical jargon of her | besotted and demented husband are only inter j rupted by her heart-piercing sobs, and the cry of | their children for bread. The children famished 1 and in rags, cluster about the mother’s feet, and ' j she, from the deep and gushing fountain of ma i ternal love, literally verifies the story of the la , ' bled Pelican, by feeding her young with the j blood drawn from her bosom. Time passes on, and the brute, in human form, who had victim -1 ized her to her misplaced affections, dies. Where, sir, I ask, does she look for a prop to , ! her declining years. All is dark and melancholy : . around her. She shrinks from the cold charity , j of the world, and when almost overcome by des i pair, hope dawns upon her as she remembers ! the pittance, which the provisions of this bill se ! cures to her, the fruits alone of her parents’ toil, j She raises those eyes, which have been accus ! torned to iqpk through tears, and beholds the manly form, and pleasing and intelligent coun tenar.ce of the Senator from Spalding, and points j hint back to brighter when her happy I smiles from that gallery inspired his muse ; and I there exhibits her little patrimony secured by the benificent provisions ot ttiis bill, as the sole reli ance for her maintaiuance, and the education of j her children. What an eloquent commentary l would it not be, Mr. President, upon the speech |es and votes ot the Senator to-day ? The ladies, sir, may be charmed by his poetry, but I sin | cerely trust, that a better fate awaits them, than ito be taken captive by his philosophy. And 1 really think, that the ladies in the gallery, if they should again catch the eyes of the Senator . from Spalding in tine frenzy rolling,” will ex claim of the burden of his song, as one did of old, that it is Lsau’s hand—but it is Jacob’s voice.” Dr. McGehee was frequently interrupted by applause, during the delivery ot his speech, and w hen he sat down at the conclusion, in spite of j the raps of the Piesident’s hammer, it followed | loud and long irom the gallery, and from the floor of the Senate. Dr. McGehee is a large, portly man, of about forty or forty-five years ot age. He is a sound reasoner, but loves occasionally to indulge in a little pleasantry. He adds to native talent of a high order, sound which can be said of' but few men in the Georgia Legislature.— I While his speeches are sound and impressive, | they are also chaste and elegant; while they ! abound in sound political views, they are like ] wise refined literary efforts. I am only enabled to give you a synopsis of one other speech, aud only a few of the points ot that. Mr. Pope said, that the war had begun, and that the forces were in battle array. He ap peared in defence of woman. It had been said that this bill locked up the property of the coun try. Mr. Pope read from the bill, to show that I this was not the case. It let the husband in possession of the property—he might use it; | what more could he ask? Why this cry, then, : if you pass this bill, away with internal Im -1 provements i It had been called a rich man’* bill—it was not a rich man’s bill. It was worn ant bill; that was the glory of it. The bill made no discriminations between the poor and the rich. It left to woman a pittance which might secure her against want and misery. SENATE. A motion was made to reconsider the bill or- ) ganizing the county of Kinchaloonee. The ] motion was lost. The Senate also took up and passed a bill in * relation to election precincts. The woman’s bill was taken up, and the rest 1 of the morning occupied in discussing it. AFTERNOON SESSION. The woman’s bill was postponed until to- 1 c morrow.
