felting pspitltl. "aTJOTJ ST A. GA: Wedmiutmy Evening, Feb. IG, IHSB. The Fourth Resolution of the Geor gia Platform and the Ransas Question. The reference of the Lecompton Con stitution to the Committee on Territo ries, of which Mr. Douglas is Chairman, is regarded as a virtual rejection of Kan sas. There are so many technicalities, side issues, sensation subterfuges and humbugs connected with Kansas and its political history, as to render it asub iect of perplexing as well as interesting observation. We watch its gradual de velopement with feelings similar to those of a naturalist, who, having dis covered some hisus naturae in a chrysalis condition, is unable to tell what is to be the order of its being, when fully devel oped. Its gradual transformations are watched day by day, without any def inite idea whether it is to be fish,flesh or fowl in the end. So with Kansas-no man can foresee what will be the na ture of its institutions, and eyes are watching and waiting its passage thro' the incipient progress of republican sov reignty. It is now hung up to dry in the Territorial Committee room, and it will be fortunate if it escapes the taint of abolition atmosphere around it. To drop this crude metaphor, the Kansas question is beginning to assume a shape and import of pratical interest to every Georgia Platform man. If re fused admission under the Lecompton Constitution it cannot be denied that it is because that Constitution recognizes slavery. It will not do to say that it is because that instrument docs not reflect the wishes of the people. They had a fair chance to frame and to vote upon the clause relative to slavery. They were in the majority, and might have controlled the whole matter. From the very first no right has been denied them that the most exacting squatter sove reign could desire. ‘‘Actual residents —whether American citizens or not— have had a chance to vote, and if they have refused to comply, it is no fault of the South or the friends of the South. A direct issue, therefore, presents it self. Kansas is refused admission into the Union as a State because it has a Constitution recognizing slavery. Geor gia stands pledged to resist such an event, by the most solemn obligations. The “fourth resolution’’ of the Georgia Platform, which has been endorsed as the ultimatum on the subject, by every party in the State, and adopted as the policy of other Southern States, reads as follows: KemJved Fourthly, That the State of: Georgia, in the judgement of this Con- | vention, will and ought to resist, even | (as a last resort) to a disruption .of every j tie which binds her to the Union, any’ action of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the District of Columbia, or . in places subject to the jurisdiction of Congress, incompatible with the safety, domestic tranquility, the rights and the j honor of the slaveholding States, or any act suppressing the slave trade be tween the slaveholding States, or any refusal to admit us u istate any territory here after applying, because of the existence of slavery therein , or any act prohibiting the : introduction of slaves into the ternto- j ries of Utah and New Mexico, or any act , repealing or materially modifying the ;. laws now in force for the recovery of fu- ; gitive slaves. If Kansas is refused admission, will it not be a clear and distinct infringe ment of one of these conditions? The question then comes up what will Geor gia, do, in such a contingency? ThatJ ( is precisely what we are waiting to see. Thus far all the leading politicians, and leading presses are mum. , The Governor lias pledged himself, in view of this very question, to call aj ] convention, to consider on the policy j to he pursued. We shall wait with , some anxiety to learn the position this j ( question is to assume in the South. It,, will try the back-bone of the politicians ■ And show who are blustering dema gogues, and who it will do to trust in an * emergency. I» Lager Beer Intoxicating* This question was recently before a jury in Brooklyn, N. Y. A cloud of witnesses were brought forward to prove that it was not. Dr. Arming testified that he saw a German drink 160 pint glasses of Lager within three or four I hours without getting drunk. James j White testified to drinking 32 glasses j within two hours and did not feel any ! intoxicating effects. Philip Kock aston-!, ished the court and jury by swearing ( that once, on a bet, he drank a keg of Lager Beer, containing men and a half gallons within two hours, and did not feel any the worse for it. He said it de-; pended very much upon the state of his , purse how much he drank during a day. j When flush he drank 60, 70, 80 and 90 ! glasses within a day and evening. Nev er was intoxicated and never saw any j one intoxicated on Lager Beer. (The glasses referred to contained a pint.) On the other hand, witnesses testified that Lager contained 3 3-4 per cent, al cohol, and that it produced dizziness in the head. The New York Express suggests that the jury be locked up with a liberal sup- \ ply of Lager, and let them test it them selves. It adds that there were no Ger mans on the jury, as a Teuton would; not be a competent witness in a ques tion involving Lager Beer. Property Exempt from Levy anil Sale. • There seems to be some doubt as to the nature of the law passed by the last Legislature in reference to the ex emption of property from sale. The, - act passed made no change in the old * schedule, save to exempt a horse or mule, of any value. The following is - the Act entire : He it enacted by the Senate and Hpuse of Reprcsentalii'es, and it is hereby enacted by tbo authority of the same , That from and after the passage of this act, the afore said act be so amended as to permit ev ery citizen of this State, male or female being the head of a family, to hold and possess free from levy and sale, one farm horse or mule, without regard to tile value of the same. Assented to Dec. 22d, 1857. Georgia Items.

Ac cording to Parton’s life of Burr : “He was sitting one evening with ■ Mrs. Prevost, when the approach of a : party of horse was heard, and soon af j. ter a lady, veiled and attired in a ri ding habit, burst into the room, and, hurrying toward Mrs. Prevost, was on - the point of addressing her. Seeing a , gentleman present whom, in the dim light of the apartment, she did not re ; cognize, she paused, and asked in an anxious tone— ‘Am I safe ? Is this gentleman a 1 friend!’ ‘Oh, yes,’was Mrs. Prevost’s reply, 1 lie is my most particular friend, Col. 1 Burr. ' i 1 Thank God!’ exclaimed Mrs. Am- > old, for she it was; ‘l’ve been playing 1 the hypocrite, and I’m tired of it.’ She then gave an account of the way {she deceived Washington, Hamilton, and other American officers, who she {said, believed her innocent of treason, I and had given her an escort of horse from West Point. She made no scru -1 pie of confessing the part she had borne 1 in the negotiation witli the British gen eral, had declared it was she who had • induced her husband to do what he had l done. Sire passed the night at Para- I mus, taking care to resume her acting jof the outraged and frantic woman, whenever strangers were present. Col. Burr's relation with the Pliipped family, of which Mrs. Arnold was a member, had been of the most intimate charac ter from childhood. They had been his father’s friends; and the orphan boy had been taken from his mother’s grave to their home in Philadelphia. He | stood toward this fascinating, false hearted woman almost in the light of a younger brother, and he kept her secret untill she was past being harmed by the telling of it.'’ Rimohed Expedition ron Mexico I against Santa Anita. --There is a rumor cuirent in New Pork that a formidable military expedition is fitting out at that port for Mexico, to assist the present t'omonfort government against Santa Anna and his revolutionary friends. A recruiting office for the enrollment of volunteers has been opened in Grand street, and advertisements are publish ed in some of the journals for gentle men of military experience to command the brigade. ».«■• Steam Between France and Virgtna.

Howthey do thing* In Chicago A correspondent of the Kew York ' Herald gives the following account of his experience in collecting in Chieogo— the citv which boasts of having so few fail : 1 ures during the late panic. ! I had occasion to try to collect a judg ment to-dav of a merchant. I found . his whole stock recorded under a chat tel mortgage in the Clerk s office. r l he number of chattel mortgages recorded r up to to-dav is ninety-six thousand < three hundred and thirty. Over four thousand of them have been placed there within less than three months, and some of them contain invoices of whole stocks, making twenty pages of record. Judgments seem to do no good for nearly all levies are replieved. There are now over six thousand cases in suit in this county, from the l uited States Court down. The National Bear Garden.

Tli* University of the Soulli. A card appears in the Winchester, (Tenn.) Home Journal , signed by about 400 citizens of Franklin county, in which the charges in reference to milk sickness in the region of Sewanee, is de nied. They assert that there has never been a case of milk-sickness in the neigh borhood of the place where the universi-1 ty is to be located,and only one case has occurred in all that country,for 20 years. They assert, “on their honors,” that there is not in their opinion a place on the globe where there is more safety from disease of any kind, than Rowe's Spring, the place chosen for the location ' of the Institution. ■ —— --C - Anecdote of Havelock. At the recent meeting of the share holders of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, the Chair man, alluding to the loss of the Erin, related the following anecdote respect ing General Havelock : “On board that ship a passenger in private clothes, was Colonel, and now General Havelock. When the vessel struck, between 12 and I o’clock in the morning, a half a gale of wind blowing at the time, Colonel Havelock sprung upon the deck, and seeing some confu sion, said, in a sharp military tone that always arrests attention, ‘ Men, he steady and all may he saved, but if we haveconfusion.all may be lost. Obey your orders and think of nothing else.”— They did so, and behaved in the most excellent manner. Next day all lives on board were saved, together with the specie and mails. On the shore imme diately afterwards, Colonel Havelock! mustered the men, and said, ‘ Now, my men, let us return thanks to Almighty God for the great mercy He has just j vouchsafed tons.' They all knelt down,: and, as his (the chairman’s) informant, j who was one of the officers wf the ship j told him the Colonel then rose up and walked away as coolly as though noth ing had happened.” Stop- Now. • Young man, if you are just common- j eing or practicing anjy vice or bad habit, j the time to stop is now. Yon have I arrived at a stopping place, and you may stop now if you please, hut if you suffer yourself to he whirled ori by appetites and passions, tyou may go so far that when you desire to stop it may be out of your power to do so. If you swear, or drink, or break the Sabbath, “stop now.” If you think evil thoughts, or tell things not quite true, or sometimes tell a little more than truth, “stop now.” If you are going to dance, or play, or ijny place where you may meet bad company, “stop now.” If you are in the habit of jesting about religion, or ministers, or preaching, “stop now.” If you think there is time enough to become religous by-and-by, and that you will pursue the way you are going awhile longer, “stop now;” for the course you are going leads to death. —Ruritan Recor der. Anecdote of Havelock. On hoard the Erin, a passenger in private clothes, was Colonel Havelock. ] When the vessel struck, a half gale of i wind blowing at the time, Colonel Have- j lock sprung upon the deck, and seeing some confusion, said, in that sharp mi li tary tone that always arrests attention, “Men. he steady and all may he saved, hut if we have confusion, all may he lost. Obey your orders and think of nothing else)” They did so, and behaved in the most excelleat manner. All the lives on board were saved, to gether with the specie and mails. On theshore Colonel Havelock mustered the men, and said, “Now, my men let us return thanks to Almighty God for tiie great mercy He has just vouchsafed to us.” They all knelt down, he uttereda short prayer of thanksgiving, and the Colonel then rose up and walked away as coolly as if nothing had happened. fjftler from Mexico. The Tabamatchc and Muotche Utah Indians are giving unmistakable signs of hostility, and openly declare their enmity to both Mexicans and Ameri cans. ( They say that the Mormon “tata” is worth all the other “tatas,” as he gives . them kegs of powder and boxes of guns. , and that hecould whip the whole world, j There is no doubt that Brigham Young is inciting those Indians to hostility against our Government, and that they 1 are likely to be troublesome. From the Conejos to the Mormon settlements it is but a few days’ travel, and the Taba muatches use as much in Utah as New Mexico. The inhabitants in the Cone jos apprehend danger from these In dians so soon as the snow disappears and the grass begins to grow. In Western Massachusetts the flesh ing is excellent, the snow in many places being two feet deep. BY TELEGRAPH Arrival of the I N Di_l AN . COTTON ADVANCED l-M.

Washington, Feb. 9. —In the .Senate to-day a joint resolution was introduced to take measures to enforce a settle ment of the differences with this Gov ernment and'Paraguay. In the House the proceedings are unimportant. [The difficulties between this Govern ment and Paraguay, were referred to in President Buchanan,s message at the opening of Congress. The President of Paragray refused to ratify the treaty between tire United States and that State, as amended by the Senate. In 1858, a United States steamer, the Wa ter Witch, was detailed to ascertain the fitness of the river La Plata and its tri butaries for navigation by steam. This enterprise was successfully prosecuted until February, 1855, when in the peaceful prosecution of her voyage up the Parana river, the steamer was fired upon by a Paraguayan fort. The pretext for firing upon the Water Witch was the then existence of a de gree issued by the President of Para" guay, in October 1854, prohibiting for eign vessels of war from navigating the rivers of that State. But the Water Witch was not a vessel of war, hut a . steamer engaged in a scientific enter prise, intended for the advantage of , commercial States generally. Among other causes of complaint against Para guay, citizens of the United States in basinessin that country have had their property taken from them, and their persons treated in an insulting and arbitrary manner. Hence, the object of tlie joint resolution above referred to.] Market Reports. Vew York, Feb. 9.—Sales of Cotton to-day 3,000 bales, with a firm market.

To Salieratux Enters, At a late convention of Dentists if was asserted that the main if not. the sole cause of the great increase of defee tive teeth, was the use of Balserstus and cream of tartar in the manufacture of bread ; and Dr. Baker fully agreed with the facts offered in proof, adding the results of some experiments made by himself. He soaked sound teeth in a solution of salicratus, and they were de ployed in fourteen days ! We here have the opinion of men whose talents, time and zeal are given to dentistry,that salaeratus cream and of tartar in bread are a chief cause of ruin to teeth.
