We have read the able and conclu- \ aive message of the President, trans mitting to Congress the Constitution of .Kansas, and recommending its ad in; Sion into the Union as a State, and it is: both a pleasure and a duty to express j cur entire approbation of it. We are i at a loss to see how any man, after j reading this able paper, in which the j •whole history of the matter is clearly j and satisfactorily set forth, can be in doubt as to the course Congress should j pursue in relation to the admission of ; Kansas into the Union. It strikes us that the President has met and refuted, most conclusively, every point of objection which has been urged, with any show of plausibil-j Ity, against the Lecompton Constitu-1 iion ; and so clearly are the facts set forth, that even the Black Republicans, j blinded by fanaticism as they have | been, if they read this message, must; yield their opposition and henceforth cease their agitation. Such, it appears to us, would be the conclusion of every unbiased mind, upon reading it. It seems, however, judging from the opposition wi ill which the Lecompton Constitution has met in Congress, that the representatives of the people, from come sections of the Union, are con trolled by the same fanatical spirit, which has actuated Jim Lane and his party in Kansas. The free State men in that territory could have controlled the slavery question, if they had cho sen to do so—for it is admitted on all hands that they are largely in the ma jority—yet by their refusal to vote, in the elections held, the pro-slavery par ty have succeeded in ingrafting that in stitution into the Constitution of tho State. They allowed the election for delegates to the convention, to go by default; afterwards, when the slavery clause was submitted for ratification or ( rejection, they refused to vote, and per- ] mitted it to be ratified, almost without objection, in the face of the fact that the last House of Representatives in Con- , gress, having a majority in their favor, had admitted to a seat their representa tive, who was elected under laws passed by the pro-slavery party. But when the third election came on, in which there were spoils involved, in spite of the fact that it was held under the pro slavery Constitution, they entered into it, and it is reported, have succeeded in electing their candidates. With these direct admissions, on the part of the Black Republicans, of the legality and regularity of tho Lecompton Constitu tion, who can be in doubt as to what if) the plain duty of Congress? But these admissions of the Black Re publicans do not constitute the entire argument—we might give a history of the whole affair, which would satisfy any unprejudiced mind that there ought not to he two opinions on this subject. The same course has been pursued to wards Kansas, as towards Nebraska, and, in the main, the other territories which have come into the Union. But the grave question for the people of the South is : “What shall be done if the Lecompton Constitution is reject ed ?” This government is unlike the despotisms of the old world. They are governments of force, and require im mense standing armies to keep their people in subjection, and execute the laws made by the privileged few. Ours is a government of opinion, and the laws are enforced, not by fear, but by the love and attachment of the people for the laws, and when this ceases to be the case, the corner-stone of the edifice will be gone, and ours no longer be a government of opinion. It may be—in fast it is more than likely—that the Constitution of Kan sas, would be changed before twelve months —because there is a large major ity against slavery—and that this whole discussion is on an abstraction; still the rejection of Kansas, under the circum stances, wouldbean insult to the South, which neither can nor ought to be sub mitted to. Georgia stands committed, in most solemn form since 1850, by the Georgia Platform, not to submit to it Her people are too proud and patriotic to allow themselves to be insulted and degraded with impunity, and we cannot doubt that in this matter they will be a unit, even if their action should lead to a dissolution of the Union. No people are more law abiding or more Union loving than those of our State, but they want no position in the Union, which has to bo purchased at the expense of their honor and self-respect. Admit that this question is an abstraction, yet why should we submit to it, if such submis sion brings disgrace and inequality upon us? Such, we conceive, would be the view which the people of Georgia would take of the matter, if it should become ne cessary for the Governor to call the Leg islature together, which he is required t) do, in case of such a contingency. We sincerely trus( that none such will nrise, hut the ceaseless agitation of the slavery question, by the unprincipled demap goes who are almost exclusively selected to represent the Northern States in Congress and the defection and col lusion with the Black Republics of such in over J - ng, and should teach us of ( South, thene cessity of at least looking to our future interest. I We should all dislike to see a disso lution of the Union, and we sincere deprecate the necessity of even thinking of such a thing. But there is no tell ing what will be the final end of this matter. Fanaticism never seems to j calculate results. Its votaries are ever ! blind to the rights of others, as well as jto their own interests. This wrangling North and South has left pub | lie opinion in a bad condition for com j promise, and it will take years to change ! and correct it. Let Kansas be admitted j with the Lecompton Constitution by the present Congress, and we see no good reason why the vexed question cannot be kept out of Congress for years to come. We trust that it will be, and j that the dark clond which now over- I spreads our horizon may be dispelled j and a brighter sky present itself to our jview. | Since the above was written, a tele ' graphic despatch has reached us, to the effect that the Lecompton Constitution has been referred to the Committee on Territories. This we consider a virtual j rejection of it. Horrid Affair—A Heal Georgia Fight. Under this caption the New York Sunday Mercury, of the 31st instant, says: “A terrible encounter lately occurred at a hotel in Augusta, (ia., by which two gentlemen of that place lost their lives, and three more were serverely, if not fatally, wounded.” Then follows an account of a drunk ken spree at a village called Apaloosa (?) between a Gen. Caswell, his overseer, a Cuban named Gargexa, and three young men from Louisiana, who hap pened to be passing through the village on their way home from the North.— The conversation turned upon the North, and, as two of tho young men were favorably impressed with that region, the discussion became warm.— One of the young men intimated that he knew but little for an old man, whereupon that gentleman threw a glass of wine in his face—a fight ensu ed, revolvers and bowie knives were used indiscriminately, and Gen. Cas well and two of the Louisianians kill ed. The others were badly—one or two of them fatally—wounded. This story deserves to be ranked with that of the celebrated Arrowsmitii. It is either a pure fabrication or the writer of it has made a mistake in the loca tion. There is no such village as &pa loosa in Georgia, and if there were we are at a loss to know how a drunken fight in that village could have occurred at a hotel in Augusta. Certain we are that no such “scrimmage” ever came off in this city. —— »•« “On dit” (says a correspondent from Washington to one of our exchanges) that at Lord Napier's bite hall in Wash ington many of the gentlemen wore hnnps! These hoops are made of steel, and serve to improve the set of the panta loons, to hide crooked legs, and to give size and form to attenuated drum-sticks.' gf/“Two hundred and sixty-eight cor oner’s inquests were held at St. Louis during the year 1857. Os these, twen six were the results of murder ; and of ninety-four who were drowned, seventy of the bodies were not recognized. The suicides were twenty-eight. New Steamship Line.— Mr. Vander bilt has established an opposition line of steamers to San Francisco, via the Panama Railroad. The Northern Light will leave this port on March 10th for Aspinwail, connecting on the Pacific sidowith the steamship Oiizaha. Joe Smith’s Family at Aauvoo. A correspondent of the Missouri Re publican writes that last summer he was at Nuuvoo, and conversed with Mr. Bi toman, who is married to Joe Smith’s widow. He says : “ I sat at the table with the family, consisting of Mr. Bitoman and wife,and three sons of Joe Smith, the eldest about twenty-three or twenty-four ; the second about twenty ; the third a lad of some twelve or thirteen years.— 1 From Mr. Bitoman I learned that not one of the family believed in Mormon . ism, and that his wife, formerly Mrs. | Smith,had alwaysbeen opposed to them, 1 as well as the hoys. I was told that Joe t Smith prophesied some two years be { fore tills young lad was born, that a son was to be born to him at or about a cer ' tain time ; that at the time stated his : wife did give birth to a son. At that , time he also stated that his son's name would be David (not Joe), and that is ' the name of the lad, for I heard him i answer to it. Joe also said that his • mantle of greatnessand prophesy would fall upon this son and linal heir, David, who he stated would he as wise and ’ powerful as David of old. The fact of the birth of the child following accord ing to Joe’s prophecy strengthened the 1 belief that had already ;so strong a hold upon his followers. Sirs. Bitoman is a masculine, intelligent-looking lady, of forty-five or forty-seven years. She is a native of New York. She has a splendid farm some four miles from Nauvoo, which is managed by her two eldest sons,while David goes to school. About the two eldest there is nothing remarkable to be seen. They are intelligent men, of large size, but ; have nothing in their appearance, be tokening them to he prophets, or ‘sons of a prophet.’ To their mother they are said to be very much attached and very kind. David is an uncommonly in- 1 telligeut lad, of massive forehead and , bright, expressive eyes- His step-fath er intimated that he cares as little I about the Mormons and Mormonism as - one that has never heard the names, notwithstanding that thousands of the 8 followers of his father believe him to be a great high priest, a prophet, and seer, - (in embryo,) Sc. He knows that they worship his name equal to that of Jesus Christ; and yet, I am told the lad is ; too intelligent to allow it to make any . impression upon him. Probably the , fact of all the family being unbelievers 5 in it is thecause. ’ The following incident I learned from ! r a gentleman residing at Nauvoo : 3 That when Joe was killed in jail,some | ' fifteen miles from his home,his wife and _ son took possession of his body, and to prevent tlie rabble from getting it.they ' raised the fioar of the dining room, B and digging a grave, buried his remains i there, where they still remain. This story, whether true or not, is generally 8 believed in Nauvoo. Yellow Fever at Havana. , The following extract from a letter j dated Jan. loth, gives a sad account of . the sickness in Havana : [ “ Your package for the Scnora D. ar rived too late ; she was dead and buried ! Her illness was short—only four days ; her disease, this dreadful fever which our physicians acknowledge they do not: understand. Every day we are called ! upon to weep over the fresh grave of i some dear friend. Besides this strange [ fever we have vomito and small-pox, both very fatal. I rejoice every day that you did not come this winter. The heat is as intense as in August. Let none of your friends come here. , This “strange fever” is the African fever, which somewhat resembles the yellow fever, but is more fatal. Even the Creoles, as in the case of the Sonora D., are dying out. -1 l Col. A. K. McClung—•His Suicide. There is not, we presume, a single ' man in the South who lias not heard of Col. McCltmg. We picked up an ex - change this morning and found the fol \ lowing Ode to Death by this great man, which is certainly the noble chaunt of a > manly sorrow. Col. McClung was a known as a duelist, having killed as many as four men, we believe, in duels. Notwithstanding his chivalry ahd intre -3 pidity he was gentle as a child. With - the ferocity of a tiger, he combined the , generosity of the lion ; with the daring of an eagle, lie unitedall that is great in 1 man. He walked the eartli like a Titan, t but left behind him many an able char- j . acteristic. He wore a noble heart full l of tender generosity. His whole life il ' lustrated that— “ The brave are the tenderest, The loving are the daring.' s McClung had genius of the first order ! was honored, loved and almost wor-; 1 shipped by a host of friends. Wearied ■ of life, disappointed and satiated, he . woed the embraces of death, and, with the hope of being slain, he enlisted in I 1 the Mexican war. His gallantry on the battle-field at Monterey is known to all. i He was seriously wounded, but death t came not to his relief. At Buena Vista, he was carried on a litter to the battle r field and exposed his life again ; but - death still eluded him and refused to recognize his earnest votary. Despair ing of finding death on the battle field 0 he returned to Mississippi and lived un i til life became a burden to him, and I then committted suicide by blowing out bis own brains. He deliberately drank 3 tiie fatal draught. It is easy to die in f battle, when the spirit is stirred to a courageous madness, by the rushing squadron, the roar of the cannon and the clashing steel* Then all the fierce 1 instincts are aroused, and the soldier ) seeks for death as the bridegroom seeks . for his bride—while. t; Kamo is there to tell who bleeds, And honor's eye’son daring deeds”— ’ we say it is not hard on such occasions - to drink from the chalice of death, hut \ 2 how a man like Col McClung, full of , genius, loved and caressed, can delibe ! lately commit suicide is a mystery: which can never be revealed. But we I • are keeping the reader from Colonel Me- j i Clung s death song. He wuos the ein- j brace of death in soft, beseeching melo- i , dy. A few months before his death he j wrote the following lines, overflowing | with vocal and rythmical liquidity. It j is the melody of despair—the last lay of the minstrel. As has already been re marked by our friend Posey, tiie swan under the instinctive presentiment of death, sings it own dirge, and the vigor of death lends inspiration and sweetness to its song. Like the dying swan, poor? dying McClung sung his own sweet and beautiful invocation. Swiftly speed o’er the waves of time, Spirit of Death ! Iu manhood’s morn, in youthful prime, ( I woo thy breath ! For the fading hues of hope have fled Like the dolphin’s light, 1 And dark are the clouds above my head i As the starless bight! Oh ? vainly the voyager sings for the rest Os the peaceful heaven— The pilgrim saint Tor the homes of the blest And the calm of Heaven 1 The galley slave for the night wind’s breath. At the burning noon ! But more gladly I’d spring to tiiy cold arms, Death come soon ! Memphis Avahmche. A Washington letter-writer, to show that Spain is not the “ sick man ” gen erally supposed, gives certain statistics of tiie country. The Spanish popula tion is 17,000,000. The army numbers ICO.OOu inen, the light regiments armed with Minie rifles, and tiie artillery be-! ing one of the finest in the world. ” The navy is as follows : Two line of battle i ships, 170 gins ; -1 steam frigates, 147 - guns; 1 ste-m brig, 2 pivot guns ; 8 s steam schooners, 16 pivot guns ; 5 fri i gates, 184 guns; 2 corvettes, 04 guns ; ; 10 brigs. 100 guns; 5 schooners, 17 s guns ; 3 side wheel steamers, 68 guns ; > 20 ditto, 186 guns, and nine store-ships, i 28 guns; besides gun-boats and tiie 1 usual small craft belonging to a large . fleet. The foreign commerce of Spam 1 amounted in 1855 to 8114,156,240. Her f commerce with the United States for - the year 1857 amounted to over seventy : nine millions of dollars, greater even 1 than that of France with us. f *■•'* t ; Chicago.

Mr. Harris’ resolution refers the Message and Con- stitution to a select committee of fifteen with power to send for persons and pa . pers, thereby precluding the possibility as a report this session.

Til* Late Fight In C ongress. A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, who was an eye witness, gives j the following account of the difficulty ' between Keitt and Grow, on the floor i of the House : Washington, Feb. 6 —At about two o'clock A. M., Gen. Quitman offered a proposition to disentangle the proceed ! ings in the House. Mr. Grow, who was |in one of the aisles on the democratic | side of the House, objected a little tart jly. Mr. Keitt said to him, "Goon the other side of the House, to which you belong, if you want to object.” Mr. Grow answered, "I’ll object where 1 please.” Mr. Keitt then said, “ Wait till I can come round, and I'll take care of you.” Mr. Keitt went round and said to him. “ You Abolitionist puppv, move to your side of the House, and don’t stay here.” Mr. Grow said, “I'll stay as long as I please.” Mr. Keitt j then choked him for an instant. He j then started olf, when Mr. Grow said, I “ You can't come from your plantation ! and crack the whip over me.” Mr. | Keitt turned back and said, “ I’ll choke i you again for that insolence,” and he | grasped his throat a second lime. Gen. | Davis, of Mississippi, then interfering, wrenched Mr. Keitt round to keep them 1 apart, and pressing him against the cor ner of a table, Mr. Keitt partially fell. Mr. Grow, when Mr. Keitt was wrench led round to separate them, struck at I Mr. Keitt, we think, but did not reach I him. Those by say he did not reach j him. Mr. Barksdale, in interfering to separate them, was struck, and dealt a j few heavy blows in return. The whole j thing was sudden and over in a moment, j There was not much excitement pre vailing before or afterwards. This is a succinct statement of the whole affair, which will, doubtless, he greatly exag gerated by Black Republican prints.— The whole thing was extemporaneous. i Origin of tlie Hank of Kiiglnml. I £o late as the time of the Restoration, j every merchant kept a strong box in his jown house ; and when acceptances were presented to him, took down the crowns and Caroluses on his own counter. Gen tlemen locked up their gold in their country houses, or traveled with it in their coaches. Those were the halcyon days of thieves, when a burglar would often be able, after a single night’s work, to retire with a fortune ; and highway robbery was a lucrative pro fession, whose adepts were styled “gen tlemen of the road.” By the end of Charles Find's reign it was discovered that it was both safe and more convenient to have agents to keep the cash of commercial houses. This new branch of business fell naturally in to the hands of goldsmiths,who were ac customed to traffic largely in the pre cious metals, and who had vaults where masses of bullion could lie secure from fire and robbers. It was at the shops of the goldsmith of Lombard street, that all the payments in coin were made.— I Other traders gave and received nothing but paper. But the same reasons which led the community to gather their cash into fifty vaults instead of leaving it scattered among a thousand, soon led them to see that it would be still better to keep it in one, instead of fifty. In William the Third's time the matter : was freely discussed, and in 10'.)4 it i took the definite shape of a plan fur a j National Bank. The Bank was estab lished, and gained popular favor less by | arguments than by its manifest conven ence and utility. It lived, and grew and prospered and for a hundred and fifty years the wealth of England has lived and grown and prospered with it. Wllllaiugon Discharged.
