AUGUSTA, GEO : Friday Evening, Dec. 10, 1858. Peodorhy mtc No. 5. Dear Dispatch :—Know all men by these presents that I, M. 0. Gull, do most positively uuequivocnlly and pre emptorially declare, and asseverate, that I protest against this eternal rumb ling and grumbling about our gas, anti 1 desire it to be distinctly uuderstooo that I do this because I believe that tin people are more to be blamed in th. matter than the gas itself, in proof ol which notice, my own case. The othor night, I butted my precious head plump up against one of the posts, but did 1 blast the gas? Not a bit of it, because the gas was there, and burning as bright as a little wax match, so if I did not see it, it was for the reason, that I did not look up, which I, as a man of sense, ought to have done, and which I am certain to do hereafter. Another thing, if the gas dont burn very brightly, it makes up the deficiency by burning long, as you may often see it between seven and eight o’clock in the morning, but as a matter of course no body pays for that. Mllledgeville Correspondence. Miu.edc.evilee, Dec. 8, 1858. Senate.--Night Session.—' The Senate met in pursuant to adjournment at 9 1-2 o'clock and proceeded to business.

The lost billto compell all Banks to j redeem their bills at their Agencies— lost. The Educational bill was taken up : and after a great many amendmonts, | and a great deal of debate was passed 1 by Ayes 09, Nays 33. We do not con consider it necessary to send the Ayes and Nays. The bill as amended reads as follows, viz : To be entitled an act to appropriate the net earningß of the Westernand At lantic Railroad to the payment of the ! Public Debt, and to provide for the ed- j ucation of the children in the several j counties of the State. Sec. 1. Be it enacted by the General As sembly, That from and immediately af ter the passage of this act, the sum of $200,000 of the nett earning of the Western and Atlantic Railroad shall he applied annually, to increase the Edu cational Fund, the payment to bo paid semi annually on the Ist of Januaryaud the Ist of July in each year.

Sea, 4. And be it further maeied, That the Receiver of Tax Returns of each county shall require of each tax payer, when giving in his taxable property, to return under oath the number of his children between the ages of eight and eighteen, audit shall be the duty of tbe Grand Jury of each county, at the next term of the court after the Re oeiver of Tax Returns has completed his book, to examine the same, and if any of such children are left out of the returns, then the said Grand Jury to make any effort in their power to find out who they are, and have them ad ded thereto. Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That in order to augment said educational fund, whatever surplus money may be : in the Treasury, not otherwise appro- j priated at the time of such apportion ment, over and above the expenses or- ' dinary and extraordinary of the State < Government, shall be added to the 1 above sums and set apart a6 above for t educational purposes, and distributed i as provided by the second section of i this act. Sec. 6. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the Inferior CouTtcf each county shall, upon a re commendation of the Grand Jury there of, assess such a per cent upon its State tax as they may deem right and proper, if any, to augment said educational fund for said couDty , and the Or dinary of each county shall be the Treasurer of said fund, snd shall give bond in the 6um of double the amount apportioned to his said county, for its faithful disbursement. Sec 7. And be it further enacted, by the • authority aforesaid. That the ordinary of 1 each county shall receive 1 1-2 percent, for receiving and 1 1-2 per cent, for pay ing out so much as they may receive. < Tho alterations and amendments, as ! here show , do not include all. but on- Jy such are most important.— Reporter. House--Night Seesion.-Qn Wednesday the House met and proceeded to busi -ness The general appropriation bill IVM t«, Sen np and acted on. Tbe bill I was then transmitted to the Senate . 1 To a jter the law tn j relation to defaulting tax W’*™. & Cl Mr Gordon moved to amend by d » !< criminating in favor of Georgia banks in opposition to foreign banks, by lay. ling an extra tax of twenty-five per cent, upon all foreign banks and their agencies—lost by ayes 51. nays on. He then proposed to amend by instituting ten per cent.—lost. So many other amendments were of fered and acted on, that we do not know exactly how the bill is to operate. Several others seemed to be laboring under the same impression, as the se quel will show. Mr. Hardeman moved to appoint a committee of three to codify the bill and explain it to the House. Mr. Luffman moved to appoint a committee of three to take the bill out of the House. Both were ruled out. Mr. Smith, of Towns, thought it strange that any Senator should desire to defeat the bill ; if passed, it would create litigation enough in the State to put thousands of dollars into the State Treasury and that might then bo appro-; priated to educating tho poor children ; of the State. [Laughter.] Mr. Walker, of Henry, moved to ap point a committee of three Philadel phia lawyers to go to each county and explain the bill, especially to the ’Tax Collector of the county. This pro duced a roar of laughter, but still the bill was passed—ayes 69, nays 62. The House then adjourned. Morning Session,—Third Reading. —To pardon Benj. Knight—passed. To repeal laws establishing Supreme Courts —lost; ayeß 34, nays 95. To prevent hunting and fishing, by nou-re6idents, in Georgia (certain coun j ties excepted)—passed. j A message was received from His Ex-! cellency, the Governor, stating that he had signed certain bills ; among the number, a bill to repeal all laws to pre vent non-residents from hunting and! fishing in this State. To incorporate trmstees of a Presby terian Church in Liberty county. Mr. j Gordon, of Chatham, moved to amend by adding a section incorporating the Savannah Flour Mill Company. To incorporate Washington Institute, Hancock county—amended and passed. To authorize Justices of the Peace to I hold courts two or more days—passed. To collect interest on open accounts after they are due, which day is the j first of January. ! To incorporate the town of Hawkins ; ville, iu Pulaski county. An amend-! 1 inent, by Mr. Hughes, legalizing the iorganization of a mounted police of the; loth Dist., Liberty county. Also, to iu-i elude the town of Acworth, iu Cobb couuty. Some other amendments were made and the bill passed, j To incorporporate a Volunteer Com- , pally in Fort Valley. Amended by Mr. , Gordon, to include the Oglethorpe Light .Infantry of Savannah, and passed. ! Amendatory of Acts incorporating the I; city of Americus—passed. To make a now county from Stewart , and Randolph to be called Haynes.— , Quitman was proposed in lieu ot Haynes . was adopted and the bill passed. Afternoon Session. —The afternoon was devoted to the discussion of a resolu tion to take up House bills, and to read.' ! ing Senate bills first and second time. | The American party met and nomi j nated tho Hon. D. Irwin of the coun ty of Cobb, as their candidate for com missioner to codify the laws. The Democratic party met and ad journed without nomination, the Hons. H. V. Johnson, Hiram Warner and Al exander M. Speer stand highest. There has been but one ballot, and the meet ing adjourned to meet again at 9 1-2 [o'clock P. M. It is now too late for the mail and we will attempt to send this letter per Ex jpress. j Speech of .fudge Gibson of Richmond, On the passage qf the Resolutions requesting Judges McDonald and Benning to resign. Mr. President, ours is a government, |in which the Judicial, Executive and Legislative departments of the govern imentby written constitution, are kept separate; as legislators we can interfere with neither the Executive or Judicial departments only in the mode pointed lout in the C'anstitution; any other mode is beneath the dignity of the Senate, and is an attempt to strike u blow iu the dark by gentlemen who have not the manliness, or courage to meet the ques tion as directed under the Constitution. When we undertake to follow other paths or modes than as directed in the Constitution we are like the man trav- ; elling to Pineville, who asked a lad whom ho met to show him the road.— The lad told him to follow that road . until he came to a path, go down that 1 path and turn to the right and you will ' come to a Poplar Tree. Stranger— 1 What then sonny.’ Boy—'lf you aint lost I’ll be damn ed.’ I beg the pardon of the Senate for the use of the term, but if we follow these winding paths and muddy creeks of Legislation, we will be lost, irrevoca bly lost Senators let me beseech you as tile the guardians of Georgia, to pro tect her Do not. oh, do not create the confusion that will most assuredly be ere ated by the passage of these resolutions. Again,the preamble on your Table asks me as a senator to assert a fact, which , as a Lawyer, I know to be incorrect, to be i true. Tuat is, that because a law has , become obsolete that is gone into non usus it is therefore void, if this be true, good and wholesome laws are void, and 1 j many more may be, and much that is ; valuable in the common law is void. A mere statement of the proposition I ' deem sufficient to carry its own refuta tion. The resolutions on your table,; 1 sir, volunteer advice to Judges McDonald ; and Benning. Now Sir, whilst I have < great respect for the friends of this res- ! olution, I think them more capable of ' receiving, than giving advice to those * gentlemen. And whilst we are taught 1 that it is more blessed to give than to receive, yet I think in this instance the the reverse is true. Again I have often heard that volunteered advice and i opinions cost nothing and were worth nothing. I am entirely opposed to any suchcourseof proceedings either of those , gentleman have acted wrong or corrupt- ' ly, proceed in the legitimate mode, and I will join you in every effort to get the truth and bring the offender or offen- ' ders to justice. Whilst I entirely repu- ! diate the policy of the law as declared in; 1 tbejdecision alinded to, and will give my! vote to repeal it in toto, I cannot con ■ i ceiveof a more ruinous policy to our - State.than arraying the courtß of our cou ntry before the tribunal of public opin- . ion in the way and manner that has been pursued in this case. Carry it in to practice, and our Justice, Jurors, > Judges of the Circuit Courts and 8u- ( preme Bench will be compelled in fu- , ture, not to decide and declare what the. law is, Lut what the people, public opin ions, or influential and controlling men may desire it to be. When this system is inau gurated in Georgia the weak and poor ■ may 'prepare themselves to boic their necks to wear the yokes prepared for them by the strong and the rich. Better by far that we submit temporarily to . bad laws than inaugurate such a system in our State. Ido not stand here in the Senate of Georgia, to defend the members of the Court, but when you do attack them in the right way, let . them be beard, and in my opinion in the persons of Judges Benning and Mc- Donald you will find foemen worthy of your best steel. Yet, I do stand here and defend the Judiciary of your State, and ask Senators not to interfere with its peculiar department, or pros trate it to the behests of popular cla mor and fury. Whilst, Mr. President and Senators, I have great respect for public opinion, and will always bow to its behests when expressed upon political or popular rights, sir, I hold that even the txw popvdi should not interfere, nor should it be listened to in the adminis-i I tration of our laws by Courts aud Ju- Jries. And the Judge or Juryman that I inquires in the making up of his opin ion, as to what is public opinion is un worthy of the position heisholding.and in my opinion perjures himself. There was more wisdom in the election of our Judical functionaries under the old mode than the ruthless hands of its de stroyers knew of, and the sooner we re turn to that mode in my opinion the bet ter for our country. A Retraction. The Richmond Whig, which made i many violent attacks upon Mr. John ; Minor Botts, three years since, for his | opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska bill and the legislation growing out of that measure and has since continued a bit ter warfare against him, has recently | made the following withdrawal of the j language then employed : “It was for his resolute and irrecon ! cilable opposition to the repeal oi the Missouri Compromise that we denounc j ed John Minor Botts, in terms of un measured severity, about three years ago. We denounced him unjustly: and a pmblie apology is due from us to him, which we accordingly tender now. “We have no such false delicacy as forbids us to make due reparation where we have indicted an injury. There I has been no intercourse of any sort be-! j tween Mr. Botts and ourselves for the| ! last three years ; nor are we now even I on speaking terras. But that should ] not prevent us from making him a prop i or atonement for the wrong we did him, j in so violently denouncing him for his opposition to the repeal of the Missouri j Compromise—which opposition we our selves, together with numbers of lead ing Southern Democrats, now believe to have been wise and right. All ex pressions of a harsh character, there [ fore, which we applied to that gentle man during the memorable controver sy in which we participated three years ago, are hereby publicly, frankly, and uncondionally retracted.” Indian Carnival In California. Recently a grand Digger jollification j was held near Barker’s ranch, Nevada I county, Cal. There were about 150 In-! dians—men, women, and children—j present, although only 50 warriors en gaged in active operations. The Neva-! da National thus describes the perfor mance of tbe War dance by the braves: > Each warrior held his bow and quiver [ of arrows in his hand, and each one ■ had two and sometimes three whistles, | made of reeds; in his mouth. With these primitive whistles they produced a monotonous but unpleasant cadence to which they kept time with their feet. They were mostly naked to their waists and their faces and bodies were painted i r either bright Vermillion, striped with j fanciful figures of charcoal, or with a reddish brown paint. However, two or three, disdaining innovation upon their national costume, wore Adam’s livery, j with a breech cloth, and these few were; painted black, with fanciful stripes, as; if to represent the old arch-enemy of: man himself. Each one wore a head dress of feathers and beads, and a tur ban of skins. After numerous gyra tions indescribable, they would sud denly stop with a yell that made the mountain echoes ring, and it seemed to be a point with them that he who did not stop on the instant was the butt of laughter, and the jest of the crowd.— In the back ground their bush tents were arranged, where the women were spectators, for it is the Digger cus tom that the sexes do not amalgamate in their festivities ; and when the men dance the other sex do not join, and ■ when the women hold a jollification the men are spectators. Interesting to the Catholic Church. —The Spanish Government has laid before the Cortes a bill for restoring to the clergy and the church their former possessions. Not only the property of the secular clergy, lost by the revolu tion of 1855, is probably to be returned, but also that of convents, which had been suppressed in former years ; and indemnification promised for all that had already been sold in accordance with the law of 1855. The total sum amount ed to more than 3,000,000.000 reals, or about one hundred and fifty millions dollars. The Blue Ridge Railroad. —We re gret very much to see, says the Colum-1 1 bia Carolinian of yesterday, that the 11 House has refused to remove the con- J ditions upon which the State promised ' its endorsements of tho bonds of the ' Blue Ridge Railroad Company, to the amount of one million of dollars. It ! cannot be possible that the Legislature, : after upwards of two millions has beeu ‘ expended, a e now going to withold 1 further aid, and thus sacrifice such an 1 enormous capital. - i Nominations for 1860. , The newspapers have commenced ; nominating Presidential tickets for 1860. We have noticed several very good ones. The Tennessee papers nominate the Hon. John Bell of that State, and Washington Hunt of New York. A writer in the Montgomery Mail nominates Henry M. Fuller, of Penn sylvania, for President, and Ben. H. Hill, of Georgia, for Vice President. One of our Georgia exchanges sug gests Senator Hammond, of S. C-, for . President, and Henry M. Fuller, for Vice President. The New York Herald insists upon trying Gen. Scott again. I The Right Rev. Bishop Ouderdonk, j on eminent divine of tbe Episcopal ] Church, died in Philadelphia on Mon- i day last, of dysentery. BY TELEGRAPH. JLJcrslon In the Echo Case, Columbia, S. C., Deo. 9.—The decis ion of the Federal Court on the appli cation for habeas corpus on ljehalf of the crew of the Echo, was delivered to day. Judges Magrath and Wayne decided that the act of 1820 .is constitutional; aud they remanded the Echo prisoners to jail to await the action the grand jury at the nest regular term of the Court, on the charge of piracy.

A Prairie Fire. | Recent writers have declared that | there is a good deal of fiction in the | accounts given of a burning prairie, and more of imagination than reality in the pictures, which adorn the school ! books, representing the flying emigrant wagons, the frantic rush of the wild I horses, buffalo, &c. The grandeur and the peril of such a conflagration are i probably exaggerated in the old ac ' counts, and the author of the “ Leather j Stocking Tales,” has just told us how ;to avoid all harm from those seas of ! fire into which the billowy prairie grass ■ is annually converted by accident or design. We find in the Junction City Sentinel, a newspaper published at 1 Junction City, a settlement opposite : Fort Riley, in Kansas, the following ac count of a prairie fire in the immediate t vicinity of the place:— I! “On Monday afternoon last the prai I rie to the northwest of the town, was , discovered to be on fire. The wind was blowing quite a gale at the time, and the waves of flames came sweep- I ing towards us with a mighty roar, like ; unto the breaking of old ocean. It was ; certainly very grand and beautiful to look at, while danger was unthreatened; but, as the crackling of the tall prairie grass became more distinct, reminding one of disenages of artillery, our quiet admiration of the scene changed to a very lively 6ense of impending peril.— The whole affair was so unlooked for, so sudden, and caught us so unprepared to resist successfully, that our promis ing town came near to ashes before an effort was made to fight-back the flame. It approached to within five and ten feet of our printing office ; destroyed the hay-stack of our neighbor Whitney, across the street; ran, like a startled deer, toward the private residences in the western part of the place ; swept past the recently erected frame of Capt. Wm. Hemsley, consuming for him 5000 shingles. Claim-houses in the vicinity escaped miraculously. That one should be left standing is astonishing. “ A busy scene amongst the people | was then enacted ; men, woman and j children combined in a little army to J keep back the enemy. Weapons of ex i traordinary apperance and singular con struction were used in the melee. Here might be seen an individual with Ins Sunday coat twisted into a swab, per forming feats of prowess with his con stantly flying garments. Again, a lady, assuming for the first time the peculiar habiliment of her lord, buckling his breeches at the fiery foe with eminent 'success; another with great grace and j efficacy, wielded a plank, dropping it ! upon the intruding monster, putting : out whole yards of flame at a pop. We contented ourself with a towel tied to the end of a walking stick, and, with a motion somewhat resembling the thrash ing out of grain, did, we think, our part as an extinguisher All woiked hard, and eventually sueeeded in saving the town. To a great many citizens the eight was novel, the) never having wit nessed aprairie on fire before. To every one the scene was sublimely beautiful and exciting " HIDES WANTED.

To keep the liver in the proper , performance ofits duties is to keep the system j in a state ol health, and free from all bodily ills, j Dr. S-a.vdford’s INVIGORATOR is a great Regc- | L.ATOR of tub Ijver. It instills into it new life j and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it, J curing the lountain from whence so many j streams of sickness flow. We say to all who. are troubled with any derangement of the liv er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, j i Billiousncss or debility of system, do not lail to j ! try Dr. Sanford’s Liver I.wigorator, decl-m | jfThc Great P roblem Solved !—DR. MORSE'S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric fluid re .acquires its solveutpower. and the crude nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to the suflerer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed aud unstrung, becomes, under the i wholesome revolution created in the system, the ] basis of activity, strength and health. I The nervous suflerer, while tormented by the | acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux ; or ordinary headache, afflicted With vague ter j rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that J terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnaturalcondition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo ! tiou aud thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous i organization. Females who have tried it are un&nimoes in declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon tlmi woman ha 3 ever received from tho ha' ds of medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing eflect upon the appetite While it renews the strength of the digestive j powers it creates a desire for the solid material | which is to be subjected to their action. As an ! ! appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. ! j If long life and the vigor necessary to its en-j joyment are desirable, this medicine Is indeed of j , precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either ; sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing ! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de • bility or from the weakness of a single organ wi'.Sall find immediate and permanent relief from the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu i tion that they think themselves beyond thereach | ’ •of medicine. Let uot even those despair. Tbej ! Eludr deals with disease r.a it exists, without re -1 ierence to the causes, and will not only remove | the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- | stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush 1 of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts of self-de struction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous- ! ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys- * teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from | whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- ' ly m&MDie.
