The Speaker stated that for the protection of
the door-keeper in the discharge of his duty, and
to prevent inconvenience and difficulty, he had
directed the door-keeper to register the names of
such persons as are privileged to the floor, other

has risen as to the power of the Speaker in this
respect, he wished the sense of the House rela
tive thereto.
On motion of Mr. Ewing, such a register was
ordered to be kept.
Mr. Bocock, from the committee on naval af
fairs, reported a bill authorising the construction
of six first class steam frigates, and for other

Mr. Bayly called lor the yeas and nays on

Mr. Bayly—No! I want to kill this thing in
the most emphatic way.
The resolution was then tabled eighty-eight
to eighty-five.
Mr. Dean offered the resolution of which he
had given notice, lor presenting a sword and the
thanks of Congress to Captain Ingraham. Pre
suming no one desired to debate it, he moved the
previous question:
Mr. Bayly moved to refer the resolution to the
committee on Joreign affairs.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved to lay it on
table, but the House refused.
Mr. Walsh appealed to Mr. Dean to postpone
further consideration of tffe resolution for a few
days, as orie-ol his colleagues, who was accident
ally absent, desired to take part«in this piece of
Buncombe, (laughter,) and wished te add an
amendment to give to Capt. Ingraham a pair of
epaulettes, spurs, or something of that kind.—
(Laughter.)
The resolution was referred to the committee
on foreign affairs.
Mr. Tweed introduced a bill establishing a
mint in the city ol New York. Referred to the
committee of ways and means.
Mr. Walker presented a memorial from the
New York Chamber of Commerce, asking action
for the abrogation of the Sound dues imposed by
Denmark on the commerce of the United States

Mr. Walker introduced a resolution which

communicate to the House, as fai*as toe public
interests will permit, the state of negotiations
between this country and Denmark relative to
imposition of sound dues uj>on our commerce to
the Baltic, together with such correspondence as
may have passed between the two nations on
that subject. .
Mr. Chandler submitted a resolution, which
was adopted; taat the committee on the judicia
ry be, and it is hereby instructed to inquire
whether any and what legislation is necessary
to secre the right of citizenship of children
born out of the United States, whose parents at
the time of such births are citizens of the Uni
ted States, and that the committee report at as
early a day a possible by bill or otherwise.
Mr. Florence introduced a bill extending the
provisions of several laws granting bounty land#
to officers and soldiers who have been engaged in
the military service of the United States. Re
ferred to committee on public lands.
Mr- Clingman, in pursuance of previous no.
<fciee, introduced a bill giving credit to importers l
of railroad iron. This, he said, was a subject
■which had frequently been before Congress. He
si id not know what the present feeling of the
House was, but conceived there was strong ne
cessity for the passage of such a law. Last Con
gress the proposition failed by a single vote. At
that time five members who had promised him
on the previous day to vote for it were absent.
During last Congress several companies were
allowed credit on the terms proposed in this bill,
but the effort to pass a general law was not suc
cessful. He would remind the gentleman that
within the last two years there has been an
enormous increase in the price of railroad iron.
Then it brought forty dollars, now eighty a ton.
In consequence, many of the State and private
companies commenced with sufficient capital,
but owing to the great rise, they find it difficult,
if not impossible, to go on. He understood the
money was not at this time needed iu the trea
sury, there being a large surplus. The bill pro
posed to give a credit of four years. In all pro
bability, at the expiration of that time, govern
ment will need the money, as the present funds
may be exhausted. He thought, as a financial
measure, his bill was better than the plan pro
posed by the Secretary of the Treasury, for the
latter cannot go into operation before January a
twelve month.
Mr. Shelton asked why not introduce a bill
postponing the duties to be paid by merchants.
Mr. Clingman replied for two reasons—first,
because goods have not undergone any rise with
in the last eighteen months; and, secondly, that
importations of goods are tor private purposes,
while railroads are made by States and compa
nies for the benefit of farmers. No doubt the
latter pay their taxes when the government does
not need the money. There was a certain in
terest in this House knowu as the iron interest,
represented with fidelity, and with a good deal
of lobby influence.
Mr. Shelton begged to say he was not a repre
sentative of the iron interest. He desired equal
laws for our common country.
Mr. Clingman presumed the iron interest
claim a prescriptive right to have the country
taxed for their benefit. Hence, when a propo
sition of this kind is introduced, obstacles are
thrown in the way.
Mr. Houston suggested an amendment. There
w’ere railroads in Alabama w’hieh have been im
posing iron and paying duties within the last
12 months, and he wanted them relieved.
Mr. Clingman replied that there were rail
roads in North Carolina in similar condition, but
the bill covered all cases where the duties were
not paid.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved to lay the
bill on the table, being opposed to the credit sys
tem.
The motion was lost—yeas 82, nays 104.
Mr. Cobb proposed an amendment, providing
that in all cases of extension of duties feix per
cent, interest shall be paid.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved to lay the bill
and amendment on the table—lost, yeas 86, nays
95.
Mr. Vansant, of Baltimore, voted in the affir
mative, and Mr. May was absent.
On motion of Mike Walsh, the bill was refer
red to the committee of the whole on the state
of the Union.
The House then went into committee of the
whole on the state of the Union, Mr. Orr in the
chair.
Mr. Houston submitted resolution referring
the various branches of the President’s Message
to the appropriate committees.
Mr. Gerrett Smith said as this was the first
time he had had the floor, it might be well tor
him to cenfess in advance he was in the ha bit of
imputing errors to men very freely. Perhaps on
this occasion he should follow up that habit. It
might be a bad habit, but is it not a counterprise
to this habit, if it is a bad one, that he claimed
no exemption from errors himself? He abound
ed in them, and was willing that gentlemen
should make reprisals upon him. He hoped that
white he held a seat here he would be in a
teachable posture.
The President’s message fully and warmly en
dorsed the conduct of the administration in the
matter of Martin Koszta. Now, he was not pre
pared to bestow unqualified praise in that parti
cular. He was not ready to accord great credit
to Capt. Ingraham tor his just determination to
rescue Koszta, and yet lie would that Ingraham
had gone one step farther. He would that In
graham bad insisted on Koszta being set at ab
solute liberty. He would have left nothing at
that point to the discretion of any other gov
ernment. He would have had him hold no terms
or enter into any treaty with kidnappers. Koszta
was a kidnapped American citizen. As such,
the American government was bound to set him
absolutely free. But Captain Ingraham repre
sented the American government on that occa
sion, and for that occasion he was the American
government.
Perhaps what he said might be inconsistent
with the views of his peace-ioving friends, who
knew his opposition to war, yet he justified Cap
tain Ingraham. He believed in the propriety of
national armed police, and that this was an oc
casion lor the use of such a police. But that was
not war. Captain Ingraham was not ready to
make war with Austria, and did not threaten
her with war. Captain Ingraham properly had
nothing to do with Austria, nor with the Aus
trian Consul. It would have been an insult to
Austria and her authority had he charged her
with authorized kidnapping. He had only to
do with kidnappers, who restrained Koszta’s
liberty. All he had to do was to set him uncon
ditionally free, and compel them to make uncon
ditional surrender of their prey.
He knew it was said Koszta was not an Ameri
can citizen, but the Secretary of State argued
conclusively in right of international law that he
was. He wished Secretary Marcy had gone
further and said Koszta was bylaw of reason
and right an American citizen. It is high time
we have our justification on something more
substantial an if certain than conventionalities
and the worm-eaten codes of Europe. It is time
it was placed on the inimitable law of justice.
It has been said that Ingraham invaded the rights
of a neutral State, but be always regretted that
the Secretary of State did not positively deny
this. The denial was not needful for the argu-
yet it would have done go >d. Capt. In
graham did not violate the rignt of Turkey.
Austria did not so charge, but Turkey violated
the rights of America, because she did not afford
Koszta the protection due him. She was char
geable with letting him be kidnapped. Turkey
had no right to be in vaded. He held that when
a neutral State shall forbear to do justice to a bel
ligerent, that belligerent shall do justice to itself.
He might be asked whether he would have had
Captain Ingraham fire into the Austrian ship.
He answered he would have Koszta lree at what
ever peril.
He had said he would not bestow unqualified
praise on our government for the Koszta affair.
In one of the passages in the letter of Mr. Mar
cy to Hulsemann, of rare rhetorical beaQty, he
ventured to insinuate the despotism of Austria.
He would not say this was impudent hypocrisy,
but it was in bad taste, for America is a far grea
ter and guiltier oppressor. Austrian despotism,
compared with ours, which compares men to
chattels, is as the little finger to the loins. Secre
tary Marcy mentions in his justification of Capt.
Ingraham “the divine law, do unto others as we
would have them do unto us.” Was not this
the very acme of presumption, for an American
Secretary to quote this while the nation is
trampling underfoot millions of its inhabitants.
Did Mr. Marcy suppose that Mr. Hulsemann
was stone blind, and had lived in Washington so
long as never to see the buying and selling of
men, women and children going on continually?
And did Mr. Marcy suppose that Mr. Hulse
mann was ignorant of the lact that this govern
ment is the great slave catcher for the slave
holders'? Did he suppose that Mr. Hulsemann
did not know that the slave trade finds in the
American government its greatest patron ; and
that it comes not only under the general regula
tion, but under the specific regulation of Con
gress? Did Mr. Marcy suppose that Mr. Hulse
mann was ignorant of the iact that this admin
istiation surpasses all predecessors in shameless
pledges and devotion to the slave power.
The Secretary exalts the wisdom of man
above the wisdom of God, when he says Chris
tianity requires us “to do unto others as we
would have others do unto us,” except when
acting under legal advice. This latter is a
sheer interpolation of the Secretary. The ad
ministration is guilty at this point of attempt
ing to corrupt Christianity in the sacred and au
thentic record. The Bible command is abso
lute. He was aware that had the administra
tion put- the justification of Capt. Ingraham’s
conduct on simple Bible truth, it would have
opened the door for the rescue of every Ameri
can slave, and justified the rescue of Shadrach,
at Boston, and the celebrated rescue in hi#
(Smith’s) neighborhood—the Jerry rescue at
Syracuse —justified the shedding of blood at
Christiana, and justified the deliverance of every |
slave in the land.
He supposed the admhiistration had sold itself i
in advance, to the slave [rower. This adminis- |
tration has no right to give up Christianity for!
slavery. Having further dwelt on this point, he
said, after all, the administration has done us
good service, in attempting to qualify the Divine
command, “do unto others as you would have
others do unto us.” For the sake of saving
slavery, it impels us to obey the commands of
the Bible, to “let the oppressed go free.” He
was glad the administration had identified itself
with Abolitionism. It should not have meddled
with the Bible.
Mr. Smith was listened to with marked atten
tion.
Mr. Preston saidjiving as he did in a slave State
and confident of the propriety of holding that
kind of property—believing firmly in the rights
which were recognized by the founders of the
Government, w'ho laid its basis deep and strong,
and which he hoped would endure forever—be
lieving that a degree of patriotism, as great as
thatot the gentleman Irom New York, animated
their bosoms, and their descendants, and with
all the strength of conviction which language
could express, as to the justice of holding slaves,
he was not one of thos who could listen with in
difference to the gentleman’s remarks.
He trusted he could show that the Southern
representatives were not the upholders of the
most onerous tyranny; but men of sense, not
misguided by wild enthusiasm, such as would
shake the fabric ot our institutions. In the let
ter of Mr. Marcy, the doctrine announced was
that Koszta was clothed with nationality by the
declaration of his intention to become an Amer
ican citizen. When he went to Smyrna he was
beyond the reach of Austrian capture, and the
reach of the House of Hapsburg. But he would
ask the gentleman if a solemn treaty did not
exist, to which the faith of the American gov
ernment was pledged, lor the release of Koszta ?
We have something more than treaty and com
pact, the constitution of our country.
With the Bible in band, the gentleman im
plores one hundred and twenty-six members
here to perjury, and acting on the higher law,
speaks about the surrender of property contrary
to the guarantees of that instrument which
binds the States in union. We hold our slaves,
he said, because there are two races which were
planted here before the present government was
founded. We hold them because we are not
| willing to amalgamate, any more than the peo
ple of New York, with the negroes. We want
to keep our Teutouip blood pure, to be worthy
descendant* of our great race. We will keep
them till God shall point out the time they are
entitled to freedom. The ordinances of the Al
mighty are strange beyond comprehension.
He then eloquently traced the progress ot
slavery, arguing that emancipation must be of
slow progress, not violent. Let us, said he,
wait, and God, in good time, will accomplish
the object.
Mr. Dean obtained the floor, when the com
mittee rose and the House adjourned.
Good News for our Railroad. —We are
gratified to learn that Maj. Wallace, the able
and energetic President of the East Tennesssee
and Georgia Railroad Company, succeeded du
ling his late visit to Nashville, in securing $130,-
000, due the Company from the State, under the
act of 1851-’2. This sum was due to the com
pany on account of expenditures South of the
Tennessee river, and immediately after his ac
cession to power, the subject was brought to the
attention of Gov. Johnson. Maj. Wallace in
forms us that Gov. Johnson was disposed to
meet him in a spirit of liberality, and after in
vestigating and sifting the question for several
days—Maj. Wallace having urged the claim of
the company lor a larger amount than he re
ceived—the Governor, backed by the opinion of
the Attorney General of the State, (Wm. G.
Swan, Esq..) issued bonds to the amount of
*130.000, from the sale of which the company
will realise about $140,000. Too much credit
cannot be awarded to Major Wallace for his suc
cessful efforts in securing to the company this
handsome sum; which although clearly their le
gal right, had been contested to the fullest ex
tent. In his efforts, Maj. Wallace received the
cordial and efficient co-operation of William G.
Swan, Esq , Col. W. B. A. Ramsey and A. R.
Crozier, Esq.
The real zation of this $1 10,000 will enable
the company to meet liabilities they have been
compelled to incur in the extension and equip
ment ol the road to Loudon, the law providing,
that it should be expended on that portion of the
road ; and we are pleased to learn that it has al
ready had the effect of causing holders of the
stock of the company to advance their asking
prices fully fifty per cent. —Knoxville Register ,

Daniel W. Van Hernam. one of the men ar
rested for forging a draft of $5,000 on the Ham
ilton Bank of Canada, has made a fall confession.
He implicates with himself P. W. Sawin, J. L.
White and John W. Abell. He states that he
paid to Sawin out of the money received $1,825,
to White $1,481, and to Abell $260. His reason
lor making the disclosure is that those connected
with him in his undertakings had lailed to stand
by their promise to save him from serious con
sequences under his arrest.
The excitement growing out of the street
preaching affair is about all over, though it will,

has reported that, ‘’after a deliberate examina
tion, they came to the unanimous conclusion that,
in their judgment, there is no production among
those submitted ol such a character in its concep
tion and execution as justly to entitle it to be
considered a‘’National Poem, Ode, or Epic;’ and
that they therefore respectfully decline recom
mending any one of them for the prize.” The
rejected poems are to be published.
New Guano Islands Discovered. —Some
few mouths ago, it was announced that an en
terprising young merchant, in New York, who
is connected with a line of packet ships to the
Pacific ocean, had cleared several ships and barks
for a port in the Brazils and a market. One ship
went out armed with fitty men. The Herald
says the secret is now out, ns some of the ves
sels have returned, with full cargoes of guano, to
New York and other ports. This guano is from
some recently discovered island in the Caribean
sea, and that the lucky discoverers h ive now on
hand and to arrive a sufficient quantity on which
to realize a handsome fortune.
Mr. Marcy’s letter of the 28th September, in
regard to Koszta, it is said, has given no little
trouble to the American Legation at London.
Political refugees in England understand Mr.
Marcy to say, that the United States recognize
all political refugees as American citizens, whe
ther they have been in the United States and
declared their intentions to become citizens or
not, and on this strange notion they call at the
Legation tor passports and American protections
to enable them to visit the continent, many of
them being anxious to engage in the present j
war. Some who have been in the State*, a«d i
have their declarations, call on the same errand,
and as there is no order at the Legation authori
zing the granting of passports to such, they are
politely refused the favor.

AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 25.
Christmas.
To enable those employed in this office to en
joy the festivities of the season, no paper will be
issued from this office until Wednesday morning.
Christmas!
Every heart throughout Christendom kindles
with emotion at this name. To the old it is one
chiefly of reminiscences, and chequered thoughts.
It recalls many joyous scenes and events, and re
vives also, with a force which cannot be resisted
sorrows and disappointments of which young
hearts know but little. To the youthful it is a
name full of sunshine and happiness and joyo”s as
soications—undimmed by a care, unclouded by an
apprehension of corning evil. As has been the
past, all gaiety and brightness, so do they look
trustingly to the future for many a merry Christ
mas, unalloyed by a single shade of melancholy.
But some portion of gloom, must, in the natuie
of things, gather around the memories of each
Christmas day, which the now young shall reach,
as they advance on life’s pathway; lor dear rela
tives and cherished friends must drop on the way
side, and fond hopes, like summer flowers, must
w’ither and fade away, and thorns and brambles
must beset the feet and check the progress of the
pilgrim. Our youthful readers are not exempt
from this inexorable law, and most of them, who
reach middle age, are destined to be surprised by
the contrast between the luture as they shall re
alise it, and the future as drawn by the pencil of
imagination under the guidance of Hope. May
each difference between the picture and the re
ality, be properly appreciated, and usefully ap
plied. Thus may it prove in the end, that each
disappointment was a blessing in disguise.
As the children, to whom Christmas is afar
more absorbing event than to their Papas and
Mamas, and their grown up Aunts and Uncles,
cannot readily appreciate a homily on the occa
sion, we shall simply wish them all a day of
innocent merriment, and of rejoicing over beau
tiful presents. May Santa Claus remember
them in profuse kindness, and may no ugly
looking switches be found in the morning stick
ing out of the stocking hungup to receive hia
bounties.
May the old and the young alike, in the midst
of their joys, remember that sorrow and bereave
ment are visiting many, and the wail of distress
may at that very moment be going up from cot
tage and palace, and apply the lesson of liters un
certainties. May they remember, that cold and
hunger and sickness may be the guests of many
a family circle among our less fortunate fellow
beings, and while grateful to Heaven for its
kindness to them, not be unmindful of the poor
and the needy.
Let them also bear in mind, that we have
still no Orphan Asylum here for the shelterless
orphan, although the City Council have made Ja
munificent appropriation towards the establish
ment of one among us.
A writer, signing himself “Observer ,” recalls
to public attention our editorial of September,
stating that Mr. Jenkins made a speech in the
Legislature of 1847, in opposition to striking out
the property qualification clause, for Governor,
and refers to our speech at the Upper Market,
touching that subject, and calls for the proof.
We admit having been remiss in obtaining the
testimony. We did not suppose thepolitical friends
of Mr. Jenkins desired the le-agitation of this
mat er. But now, presuming “ Observer ” to be
one of them, we shall give it our immediate at
tention.
There is probably a mistake in point of time
as to this alleged speech of Mr. Jenkins’, and
this has perhaps misled the frienJs of that gen
tleman into the belief that it was not made at
all. It was in 1845 that a decided show of op
position was made to striking out this property
qualification. The vote for striking out then
stood, yeas, 73; nays, 29. All who voted in
the negative were whigs—among them William
J. Rhodes, Mr. Jenkins’ colleague and room
mate. It is not probable they divided on so im
portant a question. We will, however, endea
vor to furnish something besides presumption
on this point.
Oy We are requested to state that the Post
Office will be closed to-morrow from 9 a. m. to

Qy The Hon. A. H. Stephens will receive

The Weather.
For the past day or two the weather has been
lowering. Yesterday altertooH, abogt three o’-
clock, it commenced sleeting, and continued
with but short intervals, up to about 7 o’clock,
when it commenced snowing, and as we write
this paragraph, the flakes are falling thick and
fast.
Cotton. —The recepts of Cotton by steam
boats at New Orleans on the morning of the 19th
inst., up to 10, A. M., amounted to 13,330 baits.
Profitable City Printing. —The Delta’s bill
for advertising for the corporation of New Or
leans, from April 16 to October 30, amounts to
$18,704.90.
The Remains of Pulaski. —The Savannah
News of the 23d inst., says:—Major William P.
Bowen, the indefatiguable commissioner of the
Pulaski Monument, has been engaged for some
days past in the search for the remains of the
departed here, to whose memory the new mon
ument is to be reared ; and, we understand has
succeeded in discovering the entire skeleton.
We have awaited with much interest the re
sult of this search, so important in a historical
point of view ; and we are enabled to state, that
the etFort is crowned with complete success. —
Any doubts that might have been entertained as
to the identity of the remains are dispelled by
the examination of the skull, which shows the
exact spot in which Pulaski is known to have
received the ball by which he was killed.
The tradition by which Major Bowen was en
abled to point out the grave, has been repeated
by that gentleman in our presence, and is a deep
ly interesting legend. We will not, howevsr,
anticipate the publication of it, and of the whole
facts of the case, which MaJ. Bowen owes it to
the country, to history, and to the memory of
the patriot soldier, to publish under his own
name.
The steamship Fashion has arrived at New
Orleans, with advices from Brazos Santiago to
the 14th inst. She brings the intelligence that
the troops stationed at Fort Brown were still {
suffering much from yellow fever, and experi- !
encing a heavy rate of mortality. At the same
time there was little of the disease in the town
itself. At Matamoias, however, it was still bad.
The seven slaves who recently escaped from
Norfolk, it has been ascertained, did not get off
in the steamer Star of the West, but in some
coasting craft bound to the North. The Mayor
of Norfolk has given insti uct-ions to the police
officers to seaich all vessels leaving for Northern
ports.
Dougherty County. —Taken entirely from
Baker. It will be 25 miles long between East
and West, and miles broad from North to
South. It contains between 4 and 500 voters
who are, take them as a mass, men of as much
intelligence, industry, and enterprise as are to be
found in Georgia. The slave population is
very large. The property assessent for taxes
the present year exceeded four mill ons of dol
lars, and is increasing rapidly in wealth. The
city of Albany is selected as the county site
which contains a population of 1200, with a cap
tal vested in merchandize of over 15,000 Dol
lars.
An Incident. —Speaking of the tightness in
the money market, says the Philadelphia corre
spondent of the Baltimore Sun, a little incident
came under my notice on Wednesday, which is
worth relating. I stepped into one of the fash
ionable jewelry stores in Chestnut street and
saw a lady purchase a lot of diamonds worth
$525 and ordered to be sent home. A few min
utes afterwards I met the husband of the lady
in a broker’s office, in Third street, negotiating
a note of five thousand dollars at a shave of four
per cent, per month.
Ohio U. S. Senator. —The Ohio Legislature
will meet on the first Monday in January. A
U. S. Senator, to succeed Mr. Chase, will be
elected. The candidates are Mr. Corwin, (ofthe
Bench.) Samuel Medary, Wm. S. Groesbeck, G.
G. Rigle, and David Tod. The democrats have
a large majority in each House.
New Mail Arrangement. —The Portsmouth
(Va.) Globe of the 7th instant says :
We invite the attention of travellers to the
notice of the change of schedule on the Seaboard
Road. The cars, on and after Tuesday next,
will leave at half past eight o’clock, A. M.,
daily, connecting with the Raleigh and Wil
mington train at Weldon. By this schedule
passengers for the South will reach Wilmington
the same evening in time to take the Manches
ter train. We are pleased to learn that the
Manchester Road is now nearly completed, and
that by the new arrangement there will be no
detention at Wilmington, as the passengers can,
on their arrival there, proceed directly on
South.
Alabama Methodist Conference. —The
Tuscaloosa correspondent of the Mobile Tribune,
writes that the business of! the Conference has
been progressing as well as could be expected,
deprived as we are of a Bishop. The atten
dance of Dr. Jenkins and his travelling compan
ion, a living Chinaman, with their maps and
little idols, created much interest in the Church
on Saturday night at the Missionary anniversa
ry, and the collection I learn was the rise of one
thousand dollais. The Conference has had great
haimoay thus far. We hope to close in two
more days. As to where the preachers are to be
sent, I have no idea at all.
Columbus and Hamilton Railroad —A bill
asking for a charter for a Railroad from Colum
bus to Hamilton, Harris county, has bepn intro
duced in the House by Mr. Mobley, of Harris;
it is t« connect with the Lagrange Road at some
point hereafter to be determined. The Colum
bus Times warmly advocates the passage of the
bill, and says the Road will be of immense ad
vantage to the city of Columbus.
The Havana Consulship. —The N. 0. Pic.,
says: “We learn that Judge Clayton has defi
nitely resolved on resigning the Havana Consul
ship. Mr. Robertson, who has heretofore tem
porarily discharged the duties of the office, is
again entrusted with them until a permanent
appointment shall be made. Mr. Claytou had
been officially recognized by the Governor Gen
eral of Cuba only a few days, when he left the
office, and had not yet, of course, been recog
nized by the Queen of Spain.
An American Singer in Paris. —The Paris
correspondent of theJNational Intelligencer states
the Miss Juliana May, daughter of Dr. Geo.
May, of Washington, is about to appear in opera
at Paris, after two years study in the best schools
of Italy, He predicts for her the highest suc
cess, and we trust his prophecy may find fulfill
ment.
* Thk Consumption of Cotton in England. —
The reduced consumption of Cotton in Manches
ter and the vicinity, in consequence of the strike
among the operatives, together with the greatly
diminished demand lor manufactured goods,
arising from the almost entire cessation of sales
in China, and the stagnant state of the markets
in India, •nd on the continent of Europe, must
be to a sufficient extent, to make it an element
in the calculation of the prospective price of the
raw material in this country. We learn from
the circular of Messrs. Gibson, Old, it Co., of
Manchester, and from Du Fay & Co.’s Trade
Report, that were it not iorthe great diminution
in the production of goods, there would doubtless
have been a serious reduction in prices. The
effect ol the reduced production had thus far kept
prices nearly stationary. The reduced manu
facture had been at first compulsory in many
establishments, in consequence of the strikes, but
it had become more general by a resolution on
the part of the manufacturers to work short time.
The Trade Report above named, of the Ist inst.,
gives an estimate of the reduced manufacture,
from these two causes, viz: the arrangement
among the manufacturers to work "‘short time,”
from the Ist of the ensuing week, and the “lock
up” of the mills, in consequence of the desertion
the hands, according to which the produce of
the looms from the two-causes united, will be
diminished more than halt. This estimate em
braces the produce of 132 300 looms, and 8,100,-
090 spindles, including those which produce
yarns for export, as w’ell as for the supply of the
looms.
The estimated weekly production of these
looms, when in lull work, is 660,000 pieces of
goods at 37i yards each; which from the date
above mentioned will be curtailed weekly by
357,500 pieces. It is computed that this dimin
ished production of goods will reduce the usual
weekly consumption of cotton, to the amount of
7000 bales, and the reduced production of yarns
for export, a further amount of 3000 bales, mak
ing the entire falling off of the consumption of
cotton in the districts of Ashton, Bromley, Stock
port, Bury Bank, Preston and Wigan, not less
than 10,000 bales per week.— Boston Adv.
Railroad Election. —At a meeting of the
Stockholders of the Nashville and Chattanooga

Mr. Philips, of Ala., replied to the assaults of
Messrs Smith arid Giddmgs upon the institution

Philadelphia. Dec. 23.— A Splendid Estab

delphia on Friday, in consequence of the open
ing of Morris L. Hallowed & Co.’s new Silk
Warehouse, in Market street. It is five storie*
high, and 306 leet deep, and is the largest and
most magnificent establishment in the United
States It was visited during the day by thou

Fine Cotton. —The Augusta Constitutionalist
chronicles the sale in that city of a lot of seven
teen bales of cotton at 11 cents per pound. It was
from Oglethorpe county. We have a higher
figure than that, and in Georgia Cottons also.
Yesterday two hundred bales from Green county
were sold at tvfelve cents. The Cotton was
very superior both in color -md staple.— Chr.

Miller’s Almanac for 1854.— Curious Facts.
—On Saturday, the 24th Dec. the Sun and all
good clocks will agree as to time; and this is a
subject which has caused much conversation, in
consequence of Miller’s Almanac being now cal
culated to mean or clock time, instead of the for
mer method, by which the time was ascer
tained; that is, by adding or substracting from
the Sun’s rising and setting, according to the ta
ble of Equation. We subjoin the following from
the Alamanac of 1854 :
'• Ist. —There are two kinds of time used in
j common Almanacs for the Sun’s rising and set
ting ; one is clock time, and the other is sun
time, or apparent time. Clock time is always
correct; but apparent time varies every day, and
is alternately too ‘last’ or too‘slow’ of the
clock.
‘•This Almanac is calculated in mean or
clock-time, and is correct according to all good
time pieces. Almanacs in apparent time are
known by the Sun’s rising and setting when
added, being equal to 12 houis; and at the time
of its crossing the equator the rising and setting
is at 6 o’clock. Such Almanacs are old fashioned,
and coming into disuse. They are not correct
according to true time, and can be made so only
by adding the amount the Sun is slow of the
dock, and substracting when it is ‘ fast.’
“ The Sun has not, since it was created, risen
or set at six. o’clock when it was at the equinox
es. And why ? Because it does not come to
the meridian at 12 o’clock, at that time, a fact
that is true for nearly every day in the year.
The old idea that it is 12 o’clock when the
shadow is at the noon mark, is a mistaken one;
and it time pieces be set at 12 at those times
they will not be correct except on the 15th of
April and June, September Ist, and December
24th. Noon and 12 o’clock are not the same.
‘"The irregularity of the Sun’s motions causes
the two kinds of time; and, in consequence of
this variation, no dependence can be placed on
the Swnfor true time, without knowing when it
is in the meridian. This information we give
for this Almanac. See the sun’s shadow at
meridian, at the head o! each calendar page.”
Receipts of Cotton, Business.} &c. —Since
our teamboatmen have "come to their senses,”
as our country exchanges express it, a very per
ceptible change has taken place in business by
the rivers. “ The staple” comes pouring in
from the Alabama quite rapidly, some 11,230
bales having been received from that stream
since Friday, and we have little doubt a similar
improvement might be noted in trade from the
Bigbee and Warrior, were there enough water to
admit of navigation to some point above Demo
po!;,s. As it is, however, vve will have to wait
for those rivers until another general rain is re
ported. Several merchants from a portion of the
interior, whose business compelled them to visit
onr city about this time, have been under the
necessity ot crossing over to the Alabama by
land and taking passage at some point on that
liver, making a considerable change from their
usual route. Another result of the lateness of
the business season on the Bigbee, is a great fal
ling off of trade frem those houses relying princi
pally on that part of the country for patronage.
We trust a great improvement will take place
in that quarter before the first and fourth proxi
mo. but Pope and trust even should it not, that
our friends may be able to meet their liabilities
with the promptness which usually characterizes
their business transactions.— Mobile Advertiser,

Wonderful and Extraordinary Cure
of Rheumatism of twenty years' stand
ing—Never in my life have I had so much pleasure
in doing any thing as in giving this certificate to
the world, and I hope it may be the cause of thou
sands of my fellow creatures being relieved from
that dreadful disease, Rheumatism. My wife has
been afflicted with it for twenty years, most of the
time suffering excruciating pains in every part
of her body. Having no appetite whatever, she
was reduced to almost a skeleton. So violent were
the pains that sho seldom could sleep without tak
ing large doses of opium. Everyjoint was swelled
very much, and her knees, hands and % neek covered
with large lumps. Sho could do no kind of work,
the sinews and muscles being so hard and contract
ed that her limbs were drawn together, so that she
was obiged to bo in bed constantly. In this condi
tion she had been for twenty years, without ever
getting any relief from every thing she used, until
she commenced tho use of if. G. Farrell’s Arabian
Liniment, the first bottle of which produced a great
change. She has now used five bottles, and the
swellings have nearly all gone down; pain has en
tirely left her; she sleeps well and soundly; is
more fleshy than ever sho was in her life; has an
excellent appetite, and spins and sews all day. By
j tho use of a few bottles more she mus be as well as
ever she was. If any one doubts this wonderful
| cure, ho ha 3 only to call at my residence, near Pe-
I oria, and learn the circumstances from my wife’s
I own lips, or he can further enquire of any of my
| neighbors. Samuel Elson.
! H. G. Farrell’s Liniment is also an excellent rem
! ody for palsy, sprains, bruisos, cramps, chilblains,
j burns, pains, toothache, sore eyes, etc., and in
j horses or cattle is the best remedy in the world
i whore an external application is required.
Look out for Couuit^feUs. —The public are cau
j tionedagainst another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara
i bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all the coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Farrell,
many will buy it in good faith, without the knov -
ledge that a counterfeit oxists, and they will, per
haps, only discovor their error when the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
