The resolution offered by Mr. Chase, some time ago, directing inquiry by the committee on roads and canals as to the expediency of con structing a railroad from one of the Western States to the Pacific, was taken up. Mr. Gwin opposed the reference of the sub ject to that committee, and moved a postpone ment ot the resolution. Agreed to —yeas 23, noys not counted Mr. Gwin moved an Executive session— agreed to. During it, the doors were opened and a message received from the President trans mitting certain documents in answer to the reso lutions of Senate of April last, requesting infor mation in regard to certain transactions between Capt.

Mr. Smythe was appointed a member of the committee on territories, vice Mr. Smith, of Vir ginia, excused. 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 than members. Understanding that a quetsion 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 purposes appropriating three millions of dollars, the vessels to be buiit by contractor at the Uni ted States Navy Yards, as the Secretary of the Navy may elect. Referred to ths committee of the whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Bocock presented a report of the board of officers appointed to investigate the causes of the failure of certain steam frigates. Ordered to be printed. Mr. Benton stated that he bad decline!, as chairman of the library committee, and that Mr. Chandler had been selected by the committee in his place. 'I he House resumed the consideration ol Mr. Sage’s resolution, authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to purchase Mount Vernon. Mr. Bayly called lor the yeas and nays on laying the resolution on the table. Mr. CJingman asked the gentleman to with draw his motion, and to let the resolution go to some committe. 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 in the Baltic. Mr. Walker introduced a resolution which was adopted, that the President be requested to 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 , 21 st inst. Thtngs in Nrw York. —The barque Brothers sailed on Tuesday, with two hundred kegs of powder and a large mail for Commodore Perry’s squadron. The Sunday schools of St. Ann’s Episcopal Church have contributed fifty-one dollars towards a Christmas dinner to the ii,mates of the Brook lyn orphan asylum. 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, in some degree, be resuscited on this (Wednes day) evening, on the occasion of the anti-Popery meeting, which the “Knew Nothings” have called at Metropolitan Hall. No trouble, how ever, is anticipated. Miss Elizabeth Blackwell, M. D., is to have charge of a Dispensary and Infirmary, now going up in the eleventh ward. The recipients of the charities of the new Medical Dispensary will be women and children. The mate of the ship Jane Wright, who was severely stabbed while at quarantine, in sup pressing a mutiny among the crew, about three weeks since, died on Sunday. Five men are in custody. The new Theature, to be built next spring, on Broadway, at a cost ol $150,000, is to have five galeries, 22 private boxes, arm to accommodate 5,000 persons. Snow commenced falling in the city on Mon day afternoon, and so continued until three o’clock yesterday morning, at which time it was about three inches deep. Among other articles engaged by the “Great Republic,” for Liverpool, are tne following: About 9,000 bbls. flour; 60,000 to 70,000 bushels of corn and wheat; 1,000 bales of cotton; 3,000 bbls. rosin, 1,000 tierces beef, &c. Decision on tue Poems. —The committee, consisting of Charles Sumner, Jo*. R. Chandler, John W. C. Evans, Th. J. Saunders, Joseph Henry, C. M. Butler, R. R. Curley, and Jame* B- Donelan, which was appointed to examine the communications presented for the prize of fered by R. W. Latham, Esq., ol Washington, 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. n M, mam 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 5 p. m. Qy The Hon. A. H. Stephens will receive our thanks for a copy of the Exploration and Sur vey of the Valley of the Great Salt Lake of Utah, including a Reconnoisance of a new route through the Rocky Mountains, with accompany ing Maps, by Howard Stansbury, Capt. Corps of Topogrophical Engineers, U. S. A. This is one of the most interesting documents issued by order of Congress. The Campbell Minstrels. This popular company of Ethiopians make their appearance at Concert Hall to-morrow nigbt. They offer a good bill, and we expect to see the house crowded. 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.

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. Mercury , 24 th inst. 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, 21 si inst. 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.
