In our Bank table to-day the Monroe Railroad Bank return is not included. We perceive that Judge White is in Washing ton, not yet having resigned his seat as Senator from Tennessee. It is understood he will do so. It is probable that he had not received the instruc ting resolutions of the Legislature of his State when he left home. We received no intelligence last night ftom Washington, of the meeting of Congress, and consequently none in relation to the election of Speaker of the House of Representatives. The Legislature of Virginia, assembled on Monday last. One of the first things to be done after its organization will be the election of Sen ator, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the expi ration of Mr. Rives’ term. Massachusetts. —The New Bedford Mercu ry of 28th ult. says:—The whig majority in the House of Representatives cannot be estimated at less than 30. Os 33 members elected on Mon day, thus far heard from, 20 are Whigs, and 3 Van Buren men. Morton lends Everett only , 252 votes. The scattering votes in 77 towns yet heard from, amount to 308—already exceeding Morton’s majority. The steamship Liverpool was to leave Liver pool for New York on the 16th November, and mas therefore be looked for in a day or two. Fire.—This morning about 3 o’clock, (says the New York Star of Friday,) a fire was discov ered in the fur store of B. Morange & Co., 105 William street, by which a large amount goods were destroyed. We learn that the Messrs. J Morange were partly insured. From our Correspondent. Milleikikvillk, Nov. 30, 1839. I IX SKXATE. Mr. Jaurdon from the Joint Standing Com mittee on Banks, made a Report, stating that they deemed it advisable that the conduct of the Preisdent and Directors of the Bank ot Darien, jpbc enquired into. Bills Reported—Mr. Jones—To extend the limits of Marietta, in Cobb county. Mr. Miller—Submitted a petition from sundry citizens of Burke county, praying to be attached to Richmond. Refencd to a select Commit tee. Bills Lust— To compel the resumption of spe cie payments, &c. No'bills were past, but as heretofore advised, the balance of the day was devoted to the further consideration of the bank bill. Dec. 2, 1839. The Senate refused to reconsider the bank bill, lost on Saturday—yeas 37, nays 42. This is as it should be, and will impart a valuable stimilus to the depressed mercantile interests of the _ State. | In reference to thosubjcctof Common Sohools, V Col. Billups (in the Senate) was listened to with H interest and delight—be enchained the attention of alLivho had the gratification to hear him, and awake in the bosoms of many of his auditors, long slumbering emotions of purest patriotism. If I can procure a copy of his very able rema ks, -it shall afford me much pleasure to transmit it for insertion in your widely circulating Gazette; no disposition was made of the bill, but it is post . poned to a future day. In the House, Mr. Jenkins was elected Speak er “pro tern” after two ballots. The election ' does credit to the House, and reflects honor upon I the few Union men who may have cast their suf frages in his behalf. The vote stood thus: . Ist ballot, 2d ballot. ► Cleveland, 51 f >3 firay of Jones, • 28 13 Jenkins, 81 • 80 Scattering, 3 00 Mr. Jenkins furnished to the House (if any were required) an interesting proof of his refined taste, characteristic modesty, and excellent judge ment in his beautiful extemporaneous return of thanks to that body. In the Senate, the Presidential Chair, I observ ed this afternoon was remarkably well filled, by the Hon. Wm.G. Springer. No member of ei ther house (I mean no disrespect to Messrs. Echols, Day or Jenkins,) could in my humble opinion, have so well filled its ample dimensions as this “Infant heir of Carroll.” Mr. Kenan laid on the table the following Re solution. Resolved, That a Committee of be appointed to proceed to examine into the situa tion and condition of the several Banks in this State, and shall report the results of their exami- I nation, to His Excellency the Governor, during |Ulhe recess of the Legislature. And should it ap- Ypcar from the said Report, that cither of said Banks are in an unsound condition, and unwor thy of public confidence, it is hereby made the duty of His Excellency the Governor, to proceed forthwith to lake the necessary legal steps to an nul the charter of said Banks. Bills Reported—Ur. Henley—Regulating pro ceedings in Equity. Mr. Jones submitted a Resolution directing the I Committee on the Judiciary, to prepare and report | a bill to compel the Judges of this Stale to alter . nate. Mr. Bates —A bill to alter and amend the act I incorporating the Central Bank. | Mr. Morris —To repeal several sections of the I Act of 1835, authoizmg sale of scrip, &c. Mr. Kenan —To amend the amendatory Act of e 1835, in relation to the circulation of Bank bills I less than five Dollars, so as to authorize the Cen- tral Bank to issue “Shinplasters,” but lie provides that surli emission shall not exceed S'iOO.OOO. Mr. I jawson—To define the remedy of a free holder through whose land any of the several chartered Railroads shall pass. Mr. J’ortcr of Morgan, submitted a Resolution for adjournment -‘sine die” on the 14th inst.— Not quite so soon I think, but probably by the 20th inst. Rills Passed —To define the mode of electing Clerk and Marshal in Milledgeville. To pardon Philip Johnson, convicted of mur der. Numbers oflocal and private bills were read the third time and passed with a commendable industry, “too tedious to mention.” Hills Lost —To lay out and organize the Chat tahoochee Circuit, and add Decatur county to the Southern Circuit. IV HOUSE OF UKrUESENTATIVES. Dec. 2. The House refused to reconsider their action upon the subject of the appropriation to the Uni versity at Athens. Bills Reported —Mr. Crawford—To point out the tribunal and mode of trial of question* of citi zenship, &e. Also, to alter and amend an act to regulate the intercourse between the Banks of this State, and other institutions and Brokers. Also, to secure to owners of Fisheries on Sa vannah ri'er, their rights to the same, and to ad mit the free passage of fish up said river. -Mr. McMath—To alter and amend the 7th section of the second Article of the Constitu tion. Mr. Hall—To compel members of the Legis lature to pay to their respective counties an ex tra tax !!! Oh patriotism, how omnipotent thou art—Bah, the Demagogue. Mr. Berrien—To declare the remedy of a free holder, through whose lands any of the several chartered Railroads, shall pass, &c. Bills Passed— To incorporate the Thomaston and Bnrnesvillc Railroad Company, &c. To incorporate the Brunswick Guards. To make it the duty of the Clerks of the Courts of Ordinary of the several counties of this State, 1 to preserve the evidence of legal notices in cer tain cases. Bills Lost —To lay out and organize a new county of the counties of Hall, Jackson and Gwinnett. To incorporate the Georgetown Mercantile Company, in Randolph county, December 3. The resolution providing for the investigation of the affairs of the Bank of Darien, produced a wondrous excitement in the Senate this morning; 1 Gordon, Crane, Hopkins, Tracy, and Stanford. The difference arose upon the point, whether the Committee should be designated by the Governor or General Assembly, and whether a Committee sole, or of five. The subject lays upon the table for the present. The Senate passed, this afternoon, the bill (or the organization of the Joint Stock Companies. In the House of Representatives, the hill which was reported, changing the rules and reg ulations of the police of the Penitentiary. It passed with one or two immaterial amendments. Report of the Committee of the Agricultural Society of So. Ala. on Twin or Okra Cotton, at its Fall Meeting in Montgomery, Nov. nth. 1839. The Committee appointed to enquire and re port every thing deemed interesting in relation to the Twin Cotton, as far as ascertained, have had the same under consideration and report : From the very short lime that the Twin Cot ton has been cultivated, together with the difficul ty of procuring the necessary information, your committee are not prepared cither to present many facts, or make such suggestions as should have weight with the society. We can only offer for your consideration the little information it has been in our power to obtain. Various have been the opinions entertained as to the origin of the Twin Cotton; whilst, perhaps a majority contend, that it is of an entirely separate and distinct genus from the common Petit Gulf.—Others are of opin ion that it is one and the same, but that it has been brought to its present slate ot perfection bv care and attention. They are led to this conclu sion from the fact, that indications of its degener ating into the ordinary kind, have in some instan ces been discovered. That it is superior to any Colton heretofore known amongst us, cannot ad mit of a doubt. From actual experiment, we are inclined to the belief, that the poorest soil is best adapted to its successful production. Upon very rich lands the weed or stalk grows to an enormous height, is slender and weak ; so soon then as the bolls appear and arrive at any size, the top/mVi to the gound, thereby injuring the further growth, and rendering the gathering of the cotton when matured exceedingly difficult. Your committee are of opinion that this might be partially, it not entirely remedied, by early top ping. This would have the effect of strengthen ing the stalk and causing the whole to spread. A greater cluster of bolls would be formed upon each stem, and the (licking or gathering rendered com paratively easy. The Twin Colton, from the manner in which it grows, produces but little shade, consequently it matures at a much earlier period than the ordinary kind. Samples have been presented to competent judges, and they have been unanimous in pronouncing the staple of a much superior and finer quality than the or dinary Petit Gulf; that it produces at least one third more to the acre, we have liecn informed by persons testing it last year. The present crop not as yet ascertained, w. are unable from our own knowledge to corroborate this ; but we are strongly inclined to believe its I ruth, from the pros pect and appearance of the crop of the present year. Your committee respectfully submit the fol lowing extracts from a letter received from Mr. Win. K. Aldridge, the gentleman in whose pos session the Twin Cotton was first discovered. 11 is views are entitled to much weight, as he has had an opportunity of arriving at correct conclu sions from the length of time he has been engaged in raising the new Cotton. He writes us as fol lows : “In 1835 Mr. Todd Terry gave me three seed and informed me that ho discovered, in walking through his father’s farm late in the season, a stalk of Cotton entirely different from the common kind. The Cotton had been picked' out, hut on examining the stalk he found three seed. He in formed me that his father had bought the Petit Gulf seed that year—it was found near Vernon, Ala. lam under the impression that moderate soil is best to raise it on, but have no doubt of its doing well on the best lands. I sold a few seed to a gentleman living in the Cane Brake, Perry county, Ala., who informed me that it yielded surprisingly. Another reason for thinking it would do finely on th i richest lands, is, that it has but very little shade, and of course, opens earlier; also there !° no doubt it matures much sooner, which renders it less liable to rot, &c. Moderat e AUGUSTA, Ga. SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1839. •n* V f seasons are best; however, I have no doubt it would stand a drought much better than the com mon Cotton, owing to the shortness of the stems bearing the bolls. As I planted but one stalk in 1836, I have had no chance of knowing how much could be raised to the acre. Last year I had an acre planted, the Ist May, giving five feel dis tance, when three and a half would have been all suflicicnt. Every person looking at it. said there was not half a stand—l gathered" 1200 lbs. from the acre. My present crop is planted at the dis tance of three and a half feet, and it is amply suf ficient.” Your committee can add but little to the infor mation contained in this letter of Mr. Aldridge. We are in possession of but few facts in relation to the subject, not alluded to by Mr. A. It may be superfluous for us to express further our ap probation of the Twin Colton. Wo shall, how ever, be pardoned for expressing the belief, that, in order toils success, the seed should be selected at the end of each season, retaining only such as are sound and in good order. By adopting and pur suing this course, we have no doubt a very ma terial and important improvement would be man ifested in the raising of Cotton. We feel no hes itancy in expressing it as our deliberate convic tion, that the quality, quantity, and value of the article would be greatly enhanced. In conclusion we can but express our regret that circumstances have prevented us from giving a more extended report upon the subject committed to our charge-. C. M. JACKSON, Chairman. In addition to the report, we beg leave to sub mit the following letter from Dr. Jas. H. Taylor, directed to the Chairman of the Committee. The letter will speak for itself, containing as it does, the result ot the Dr’s, observations upon the I win Colton, founded upon actual experi ment. O. M. J. Montoomf.« Y, Ala.,Nov. 4th, 1839. Df-ah Siu—As a member of the Committee on the Okra Colton, of which you arc Chairman, and in compliance with the desire of the Society, I beg leave to report to you the result of ray ex periment on the same. I purchased last spring two bushels of the seed, with which I planted thirty acres on the 15th of April. The land on which I planted it is thin post oak prarie, much worn by long continued cultivation. It was laid off by a deep furrow at five feet, into which the stubble was listed, and upon which a bed was thrown by the plough, then dressed up with the hoc, a single seed was dropped at every twelve inches into a trench drawn for that purpose and slightly covered. No more than one fourth of the seed came up; but that which did vegetate, came up a vigorous plant and grew off finely. About the first week in May, I shaved it down, and immediately after gave it a close and deep ploughing, following with the hoe and dressed it up. Every three weeks thereafter, I gave it a superficial ploughing, with the sweep each time, following with the hoc and giving it more bed.— Aboutthe middle of August 1 laid it by, by giv ing it ns superficial a ploughing as possible, then drawing up to it with the hoe us heavy a bed as the soil would admit of. On the 10th of June it commenced blooming. It grew up generally in one tall stalk, from 8 to 10 feet high, with limbs about 8 or 10 inches long, and trom 3 to 4 inches apart, leaving * cluster of bolls on each limb, of five to eight in number, and sometimes more. It frequently oc curs that two and sometimes three limbs put out from near the ground, and growing upwards the full length of, and hearing fruit equal to, the main stalk. It is from ten days to a fortnight earlier in ma turing than the Pettit Gulf Gotten, and is a har dier plant and tougher wood ; it has also a long er top root than other cotton, and thereby bears drought better. Its staple is much finer than the Pettit Gulf, and I should say at least twenty per cent difference in their value. I have already gathered 24,000 lbs. from thirty acres, and have a heavy picking now in my field. It must be observed that I had but $ of a stand, and that too planted in five feet rows, whereas it would bear planting in 3 feet rows. I confident ly believe the same land capable of yielding three thousand pounds per acre, if planted at three feet, or in double rows at five feet. There can be but one objection to this cotton —it bends to the ground by the weight of its fruit; but this, I believe, can he obviated by plant ing in double rows, at five teet. It would form an arch from row to row, and thus support each other—the limbs being short and the foliage thin, it will bear crowding, It yields from the Gin head as follows: 100 lbs. of cotton in the seed, when ginned, will nett 36 lb. of lint, or two bushels of seed weighing 64 ibs. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, J. H. TAYLOR. To Gen. 0. M. Jackson, Chairman of Commit tee on Okra Cotton, Agricultural Society of South Alabama.

After having taken a short survey ol the lorcc and threatening atti- tuile of the enemy, and finding the Highland hri- gaJe, although still presenting an unbroken front, upon the point of being on both sides outflanked by an immense superiority of numbers, his lord ship determined upon a charge, which, for the wonderful intrepidity of its execution, and its complete success, has rarely been equalled, and certainly never surpassed. The Royals appeared to take the lead,while the Greys preserved a beautiful line at speed, more to the left over the cross road, near which spot their brave chief. Col. Hamilton, fell.
