(L-Dcniiig flisptdj. • _ 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. » — Utopia ilenu. 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 picioned as it was not known that any person bore him any ill will. H. P. Kirkpatrick, Esq., of Griffin, ‘ died in that city, on Friday evening, of p dropsy, aged 53 years. J 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. fit?" Messrs. John L.

FIRST SESSION. i Washington, March, 16. ~ 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.

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. - Marine Disasters. Norfolk, March loth.-—The barque A. H. Kimball, Mallett, master, of ' Rockland, from New Orleans, has ar ' rived at this port, with sugar and mo . lasses, experienced a succession of heavy gales, started her cargo, stove part ot it ' and sustained sundry damages. The barque Itasca, Brown, fort port l Franklin, La., bound for New York, with sugar and molasses, is at this port, after having passed through a series ol heavy gales for twenty days. On the 1 sth instant, in latitude b4d. 54iu., she commenced leaking badly and was com -1 pel led to throw overboard 119 barrels l of molasses and 28 bales of moss. She * sustained considerable damage to h’ei |- sails, &c. The schoorcr Joseph Fifield Almy, : Pence, for the West Indies, went ashore ■ at Cape Hatteras, on the Bth instant.— The crew saved—cargo a total loss. * .<>• 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.” Virginia Legislature.— The Virgin ia Senate has passed a bill for running the boundary line between that State and Maryland, and a bill to issue State bonds in payment of claims on the in ternal improvement fund. The house has passe I a bill to issue $200,000 State bonds to John A. Washington to pay for Mount Vernon, the State to be re imbursed by the Ladies’ Association, which has now on hand, in cash, $75,- 000. The Queen bore the expenses of the Princess’ trousseau, and, in fact, of the whole wedding, entirely out of her pri vate purse ; and the £40,000 voted by Parliament was presented by her Ma jesty to the young couple, settled in the way described by the marriage con tract. •-«♦*<• Fatal Duel. The Europeans an nounce that in a duel at Konigsberg. Gen. dc Plewhe fired first; the ball en tered Lieut. Jackman’s mouth, broke his lower jaw and passed out at the neck, but, after staggering a moment. Jackman fired and shot the general through the heart. The ’ Liverpool Albion gives an ac count of a fugitive slave who arrived at that port, stowed away in the hold of the ship Metropolitan from New Or leans. He is called Tom Wilson, is 45 years old, and says he belonged to Mr. Henry Fust man, cotton presser, by whom he was owned seven years.

BY TUT/KC i HA3H I • , 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.] Congressional.

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 caster mh9 j , Atetlseittcnts.
