AUGUSTA, GA:
Friday Evening* Naiih 10, 18.i8.
Pttgli's Amendment.
We arc willing to “give the devil hi*
due.” It is not true to the letter, that the
attempt of the Northern Lecomptonites
to carry the amendment of Pugh, Sena
tor from Ohio, is an attempt to repeal the
provision in the Kansas Constitution
which prohibits any change prior to ’O4.
But the amendment is so artfuliy'word
ed as to produce the impression that
such will be the effect. And hereafter
the believers in Congressional interven
tion, will claim, if tho amendment be
accepted, that there could have been
no meaning in the amendment, if net
based upon the doctrine that Congress
may look iwto tho provisions of the
State Constitution. To us this amend
ment is far more odious than ev
er was the Wilmot Proviso. It has
all the dangerous force and tenden
cy of that Proviso, because it can never
bs passed by Congress without the as
sumption, in that body, of powers over
the subject matter of a State Consti
tution. Besides it contains in substance
the.doctrine that the Constitution ol
a State may be altered by her people in
another way, than in the way prescribed
by the instrument itself. To this doc
trine we will never subscribe We
admit and believe in the right of revo
lution. We define revolution, to he a
change of Government in a manner
not sanctioned by existing law. This
right can be properly exercised by the
people only when the government fails
to fulfil tho purposes for which it was
intended, and when change within the
forms of law is impossible. To admit
that revolution under any other circum
stances is justifiable is to break down
and nullify the only protection to mi
norities, for whom Constitutions are
made. Legislatures are the creatures
of Constitutions, and have no powers
but those granted therein. They can
not give their assent to any proceeding
whatever, which proposes to disregard
the law under which they have their
existence.
Let us sec whither a contrary doc
trine, such as that included in Putin’s
amendment would carry us. If the
assent of a Legislature can complete, in
the people of any State, the rightful
power “at all times” to alter, to reform
or abolish their form of government,
then by the assent of all the State Legis
latures, or of a majority of them the
whole people of the country may sub
vert their present State governments.
By a parity of reasoning, tin- asser
tion of Congress would enable the peo
ple to “abolish” the Constitution <f
the United States. Where then, would
the slave States l>3, but at the mercy of
the Free State majorities? On what
canid they then rest hut on revoluti.-u ? I
Will Southern men yield to this doc- j
trine ? None but traitors! Yet, in our I
opinion, it makes no difference to the I
South if a dozen amendments, all dif
ferent trom Pugh’s and equally as bad,
be adopted at Washington. She will
then he no more at the mercy of North-1
ern mobocrats than she now is. All we
hope and expect is, that Southern mem
bers in Congress will not give in their
adhesion to such monstrous doctrines. >
We judge by the past, when wo say
that written Constitutions are ropes of ■
sand, if majorities under them become i
regardless of the immutable principles .
of justice. That such disregard does
animate the Northern masses, wc need
not say, for every man knows it.—
Wedon’t admire the Lecompton Con
stitution in any form, because it is ut
terly worthless to the South, therefore
we care little what is taken from it, or
tacked to it. All we do hope and .wish
in the North is, that the battle over it
may be just long enough, and assume a
sufficient number of phases to show up,
in all their hollowness, the hypocritical
hearts of our professed Northern friends,
and to estop every Southern man who
will consent to make any, the sligliest 1
concession to Northern demands. We J
desire this that our people may at last .
subscribe to the doctrine, that there is
no safety for themselveß in any party,,
but a pure Southern, sectional, pro
slavery party. Let the Sautli stand on
one side, and the North on the other,
and let the choice he given to the op
ponents of slavery—the choice of dis
union or slavery propagandism. »

Capt. James Morris and J. F. B
Jackson, of Dalton, were robbed a few
nights since of about three thousand
dollars ; the former losing one, an.l t ie
latter two thousand. The robberies
were committed between Dalton and
Nashville, while traveling upon the
cars.
We learn from the Times Sf Sentinel
that on Sunday night last, Mr. Walk hr
a respectable planter in Macon county,
Ala., some seven miles West of Auburn
while reading, was shot by some person
eutside and instantly killed. The fiend
shot through the window with a dou
ble-l ari el shot gun. No one is sus

person bore him any ill will.

A King In Mexico.
The Washington States sayslt has
been suggested by those well \erscd in
Mexican offairs that Santa Anna goes
hack under the joint auspices of France
qnd Spain, to create Mexico into a king
dom, for the second daughter of For
dinand the Seventh. Such a plan was
in active concoction during the late war
with Mexico, and nothing saved us
from a dangerous complication with
Europe, at that crisis, hut the movement
of our Cabinet to return Santa Anna to
Mexico.
, The rich land holders of Mexico, who
' count their estates by miles, instead of
acres, sigh for a royal court, with its
glittering array of titles and dignities,
which would he all theirs, and more se
curely than now, although they still
are the most privileged class after the
clergy.
The higher ranks of the clergy are all
inclined to rally to the support of a
throne occupied by a scion of their old
race of kings. Most of them are of pure
'< Spanish blood, educated in Europe, if
• not horn there, and steeped to the
heart in ideas of the sacred indivisibili
ty of Church and State.

~ SENATE.
THE SENATE IN SESSION ALL NIGHT —EXCI-
TING ALTERCATIONS. —PERSONAL EXPLA
' TIONS.. — KANSAS—THE VOTE TO HE TAKEN
; NEXT MONDAY.
The Senate continued in session until
half past six o’clock this morning, de
bating the Kansas question. All par
liamentary expedients to effect an ad
journment previous to that time were
tried in vain. During a portion of the
night, scarcely a dozen Senators were in
their seats. At 2 o’clock. A. M., the
. Sergeant at-Arms was dispatched in
search of absentees, and he succeeded
in finding several.
In the course of tho debate, exciting
alterations occurred between Mr. Green,
of Missouri, and Mr. Cameron of Penn..
The President called them to order, and
order was finally restored.
After thirty votes on motions to ad
journ, an adjournment was ordered un
til 11 o'clock to-day.
The Republicans of the Senate held a
1 caucus and resolved to fix upon Monday
next for taking the vote on the Kansas
, bill. This proposition was accepted by
the Democrats.
[ TO DAYS PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE.
' The Senate met at 11 o’clock.
Personal explanations were made by
1 Messrs Green and Cameron. The for
. mer withdrew all offensive remarks,
and the latter asserted that he did not
mean to impeach the veracity of tho
■ Senator from Missouri.
’flits matter having been satisfactori
. !y disposed of, the consideration of the
: Kansas hill was resumed, and Mr. King,
! of New’ York, made a speech.
HOUSE.
Mr. Blair of Missouri asked leave to
introduce a bill to punish the importa-
I tion of slaves under the pretence of
| apprenticeship. The House refused to! :
i grant leave.
Mr. Greenwood, of Arkansas intro
duced a bill for the punishment of ne
gro stealing in the Indian country.
Mr. Phelps, of Missouri, introduced a
hill for the construction of a railway
from Bt. Louis to Ban Francisco, with 1
four branches.
j Mr. Montgomery, of Penn., introduced
a bill for the admission of Kansas. It ]
provides that a new Convention shall '
be held, for the consideration of the I
Jjecompton constitution—and the con- 1
stitution to be subsequently referred to
the people for ratification or rejection.
The bill was referred to a select com- \
mittec. |
Mr. Covode, of Peuo., offered a reso- t
lution, which lies over, under the rule, 1
to adjourn on the first Monday in June, c
Other bills and resolutions, of an un- c
important character, were introduced. 1
A memorial was received from the c
[Legislature of Utah, complaining that [
the only response to their previous
memorial for a voice in the appoint
ment of federal officers for the Territo- j
ry, was the sending out of a new set, t
hacked by an army. They want to ,
know why their remonstrance was i
treated witli contempt, and say they t
will not submit to the misrule of dem- |
agogues. They narrate the sufferings |
endured by the Mormons of Missouri; ,
cl a! lift o lie a portion of the American \
people; say they have a rigtit to de ,

Tile Allan Pt-nitfitiiiiry Tragedy- j
Later Particulars The Guardsman \
Belter— The Convict Still Linger- ,
Ing. b
Alton, March 10, 6 P. M.
Crabb, the guardsman, is much bet
ter, but not yet out of danger. Hall, [
alias Lindsley, the convict, is no better,
but may possibly survive.
The Alton papers of March 11th con
firm, in every particular, the detailed 1
statement pub]idled in the Democaat of '
Monday.
The Alton Gsurkr of the 11th inst.,
adds :
“That Hall had confederates lie ad- !
mils, but the number or extent of their '
participation, previous to tho daring at
tempt of Hall, has not yet been ascot
tained. A rigid investigation will be
made, the results of which we will lay ,
before < ur readers.
“Upon the convicts, the moral effect
of this defeated attempt of Hall's must
be of the most salutary description '
They now see that not to save the life 1
of an innocent and worthy man would 1
the discipline of the prison be violated, \
and will restrain the most violent from '
any attempt of the kind in future. — '
Had Hall’s demand heon complied with,
every convict in the prison would have
been devising some scheme to obtain 1
his liberty, probably ending in a gener c
al revolt, and the death of several in- i
nocent men and many guilty ones.— i
j The lesson is important, and will doubt- c
llessly be duly impressed. -
“The taking or killing of a single
man, however powerful and well arm
ed, looks like an easy task, hut when il
is recollected thet every moment had to
be made so as, if possible, to save the
life of Crabb, the case was one of un
usual difficulty. The plans of the war
den and superintendent wore welbeon
ceived, and carried out with as much
promptness and decision as was possi
ble. Every possible regard was had to
the safety of Crabb, and that anxious
regard was alone the cause of the de
lay.

A Fat Job.
The Herald correspondent states that
l the Sergeaot-at-Arms makes quite n
handsome thing out of the investiga
* ting committees.
That quiet old functionary has im
posed upon him the duty of summon
ing all the witnesses to attend before
these committees, and by a queer con
structing of the rule, he makes out o<
the job an income larger than that of
any other functionary of the Gov
ernment, with the sole exception, pro
bably, of the President. He does it in
this way : An investigating committee
" places in his hands at one time sub
-1 pu nas for say ten or twenty witness re
siding in New York, or Massachusetts,
or Connecticut. He sends one of his
messengers to serve the subpoenas, and
where there is a probability of more
witnesses being required from the same
locality, he allows his messenger to re
main there, and telegraphs to him
whom further he is to send along. And
then lie charges mileage and per diem
back and forth for summoning each one
of the ten or twenty witnesses. In the
Matteson investigating committee, some
tenor twelve witnesses were subpoenaed
at the same time, but the Sergeant-at
Arms’ fees and mileage for that little
job were some $1,200, or at the rate of
$122 each. And this was certified by
the special committee, and allowed by
the Committee of Accounts.
So with the Fort Snclling committee
of this session. I have beard it said
that the constructive mileage thus
made and to be made in connection with
that affair, by the Sergeant-at-Arms,
will not fall short *of $7,000 : and il
double that sum were set down as that
functionary’s profits from the whole se
ven or eight investigating committees,
it would probably fall a few thousand
short of the mark.— Washington Suites.
(ten, "Walker and Mr. liuchaiian,
When Walker was arrested, and held
to bail in the sum of $2,000 to appear
at the Federal Court in New Orleans,
Col. Blatter, a rich old bachelor in the
city, went his bail. Blatter is the owner
of tho City Hotel and the New Orleans
Arcade, two houses which lie rents for
about $-10,000. He lias $40,000 in the
Nicaraguan enterprise, and has been
the friend of Walker all the time. Ex
!Senator Soule, also, has large invest
ments in Central America, and both
these men went before Buchanan, with
Walker, and heard him promise Wal
ker not to interrupt him in his expedi
tion. Walker demands his trial, and
both of these men will be witnesses,
and will swear this in the Federal Court.
What a fix it will place the old in.
The testimony of these two men will be
believed throughout the State of Lou
isiana, and upon their testimony, Wal
ker will be acquitted by the Court at
the expense of Buchanan’s character.
Some time since five little children
were killed at Volkenhein, Silesia, by a
boy of ten, who locked them in a large
trunk. The young murderer has just
been condemned to five years’ impris
onment. He gave as the motive for his
crime a desire to punish a little girl, who
had injured his sister. “As for the
other children,” said he, “I could not
prevent them from dying with her.”

, Arrival of the Barque Adriatic. :
Savannah, March 18tli.— This famous
bavque reached oui city this morning.
> [lt will doubtless be remembered tlmt
5 the Adriatic is the barque that came in
collision some months ago, with the
French steamship Lyonnais, off New
York, and caused the total loss of the
a Lyonaise. The Adnatic was snbse
-1 quently at Marseilles, and was tlieije
. confiscated by the French laws. She
f escaped from the port some time in Jan
-1 uary, and was pursued and said to have
t been taken by a French war steamer.—
, We next heard that the Adriatic had
• again escaped from the French, and nf
ter eluding a search, has reached Savan
a nah. Some time since a letter from
- Marseilles appeared in a Paris paper,
* which gave substantially the following
r account of the second escape of the bar
que :
’ ! A dispatch had been received by Mr.
_ j Besson, the Prefect of the Boucher de
j Rhone, announcing that the Adriatic
had reached Spczzia. An old treaty
j! made between France and Piedmont in
a 1760, and which had never been abro
' j gated, gave the authorities of France the
right to demand the vessel, in case of
- the continued refusal of Capt. Durham,
; of the Adriatic, to reimburse the owners
of the Lyonnais for the loss ofgtbe
f steamer; and movements were imtncd
- lately made to re take the bark.
Capt. Durham, however, heard at an
l 1
, early moment of this old treaty, and
■ lie immediately put to sea, and his ar
rival at Savannah is the first heard
, from him or his vessel since he left
. Spezzia.
We were disappointed in obtaining
by telegraph yesterday any of the an
thcntic particulars of tire escape of .this
vessel, and have to depend on our
Savannah exchanges this morning for
all such information.]

(SIT A .Liver Itemedy.—Wc
wish to say to every person who reads this that
there is an article known as Dr. Sanford's In
vigaralor, or Liver Remedy, which can be relied
ou as certain to cure liver complaint it: any of
its forms, such as Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and nu
merous other Complaints, described in another
column, besides which it is one of the greatest
preparations or cures for consumption, taken in
early stages, that is now known.
We take it for granted, as experiment has pro
ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally
the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated
system, caused by the improper action of the
liver, which reduces the power of the lun,s to
resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and
irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this
disease, because the liver has incapacitated
them from performing their proper action el
throwing off diseased matter caused b> cold.
Thus to prevent consumption, cure the livet
anji keep the system strong enough to throw oil
slight diseases of the lungs.
There is not in the world a better !uer reme
dy or a euro for debilitated system than Dr.
Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried
in a large and extended practice till its results
are fully known, and now it Is offered as a tried
remedy, and one that can be relied on.—Lan
