the* uffeml Ut substitute, that laid oa the table by
Mr. Rives,of Hall.
Mr. Spriaferraae end opposed the plan of Mr.
Hull, on the ground that iIhhio who ntumdrd the
courta lathe respective circuit* would bo the Sena*
•er, while the koaestrltizen in a distant county would
Know little of the qualifications of any other candi

Mr. Tift, of Baker, followed and also opposed
the substitute, and argued in favor of tint plan of two
Cpatitvous counties* as submitted by the committee.
‘ "Mr. Strickland followed, but t could not bonr bis
remark*. Mr. Hunter, of Crawford, next rose ntid
argued in favor of giving, as at present, each cotin*
ty a Senator, iuid offered a substitute to that efl'cct
in the spirit of compromise, behaving that such n
plan would bo ratified by tiro people, Some con
versation ensued ns to n point of order.
Tho Chnir decided that tlic proper question be.
fore tho convotition was whether tho Sennto should

pot on 93 and lost. Then on 40 (Mr. Hull’* plnn)

* nal section, giving ii member to 46 Senatorial dis
tricts, and was decided by tollers—yeas 176, nays
V lot counted.
Mf. Lawson of Burke, then moved that the
oommittee rise, report progress and hnvo lenvo to

was to tnovo in convention that a committee be ap
pointed often or less from each political part)' toor-
gnnizo tho districts. Mr. Berrien, of Chatham,sup
ported tho motion. M-. Wayne objected to (lie
* (notion on the ground that it would lie irregular, as
the report should first bo recommitted to the com
mittee of thirty. Si.c,
'• "'Mr.'f.nwson explained, Mr. .Tonkins also stn-
* tod his views a* IQ tho point of order, Mr. Gam
ble, Mr. Lawson, nnd Mr. Springer, also snbmhed
their view*,
After the oommittee of the whnta had risen,
and tholr elinirman, (Mr. Stocks) had reported
progress, Mr. Gamble made a motion that the re
port uf tl|0 cammittcn of thirty bo in-committed to
that committee with instructions to report such
classification of the counties into Senatorial districts,
as will reconcile the two pail (os. After some re.
marks from Mr. Wofford, and Mr, Gamble, the

** When Mr. S had concluded, Mr. Gray rose to in
quire whether if a subsequent part of the section
Were amended they could go back and amend n pre

Mr, Dawson rose nnd opposed the Senntoriu! dis
tricts, imtjro pipit iff two contiguous counties in nn
energetic speech oPnbout three quarters of nnlimir.
He objected to tho scheme on the gr -und ofits being
pn injustice to the populous counties, and yielding
too much to the sm slier counties. Mr. D. howcv
rr submitted no plan.
Mr. Wofford followed in answer to Mr. Dawson
and spoke pearly fifteen minutes in an amusing nnd
energetic strain,

JUDGE WAYNE.
The eotitipandeat of tba ‘Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel attempts to criticise (he oratory nf
Judge Wayne. He sneers at It, and says Ids
mind is neither loslcnl nor vary strong. We have
no opportunity nf knowing by what standard he
tests oratory. We can say, however, that we have
heard the first orators of the age, In this, and other
lands,amithn Judge Watxii it far above a com*
innn place a|ro*ktr—that hit grace of delivery-
line flow of words—ind sound common sense,
ank* him nmong the first inourStnte—snl-econd

make such remarks. James M. Wayne hut nt*
mined a station, however, in tiro eyes nnd hearts
of his countrymen, that placet him far ahovo the

SOUTHERN LITERATURE.
For o long lime, it was problematical whether a
periodical exclusively devoted to literature and the
arts, could bo sustained in the South. It is no lon
ger so. Wo hnvo among ut nmv many vnlunblo lit,
entry papers,. The "Southern Literary Messete
ger" stands in the front rank. Thu "Southron,"
and tho “ Augusta Mirror" come next, nnd mnny
others, mast rospccmhly conducted, may be found.
We should not ho surprised if our own Suvannnh
would contribute her mite in the shape of a literary
paper—indeed, we huye heard that there was some
idea of mnklng the experiment, Thnt we have ta-
lent is ndmiltod | nnd surely tho liberality of out ci
tizen* should equal those of Richmond nr Augusta.
The ordeal has been gone through, and the South
hns tuken a stand in the field of literature, Slio can
maintain lief position, we believe, Thu evidence
afforded by the "Southern Literary Messenger,"
alone, proves her strength. Tiro pages of thnt pe
riodical nrw not filled with puerile trash, " prize
tales,” nnd tiro like, hut with contributions that the
best English |roriodicals might ho proud of. For
instnneo, “The Prediction, A Tale nf tho Hugue

parison with some uf Mrs, Jameson's best talcs.

CONTEMPLATED HISTORICAL SOCIETY,
It is gratifying to find that an interest is beginning
to bo excited in this laudable undertaking, and it
will be a source of additional pleasure, if it can be
successfully carried into operation, A State which
is so rapidly rising in importance as Georgia,—
which bore so conspicuous a part in tho war of the
revolution,—which possesses so many interesting
records of her primitive settlement,—|icr colonial
history.—her emancipation from regal thraldom,
and Iter onward course, as one of the original Ameri
can Republics, ought not surely to be behind her
sister States, in an enterprise like this; an enter
prise, no less honorable to the present, than it will
be be.neficin] to future generations. There is tqlcnt
enough, there is influence enough, and let there be
but spirit enough, and qur aim is accomplished.
Already, and in *1)* possession of a single gentle
man, are there sufficient documents to constitute a
neuclcu* for a large, anti interesting collection,
These we have been assured will be given to an in
stitution lika this; other individuals con no doubt
render similar assistance and what private liberality
leaves unobtained, historical research can secure.
Let but literary men engage in this subject, nnd
devote a portion of their flnorgics to its accomplish
ment, and wo feel confident that a Society can lie
funned, whose collections though they may not equal
in number, will compete in interest, with the ar*
chives of any Historical Society in the Union.
