MILLEDGEVILI.K, Dec. 3.
This morning, on reading the Journals of yester
day, Mr. Chappell moved to reconsider the vote
Junring the hill, for aiding the Monruc Rail R-rad
Company. He supported his motion in a lung and
■hie speech upon th'» Intctnul Improvements now in
progress of constiuction, ami tho ultimate advan
tage# to be derived from them, when completed 1
Tt o yeas and my# were called,—yeas56. nay* 111.
So tho llouso refused to reconsider, end tho hill is
consigned to the “tomb of thoCapulnts." I am
afraid, if tho private companies of the State wait
for aid from the Stnte, they will ho like Horace's

Tbo sped d oilier of tho ilnv wns n bid to amend

Juno next. Thi* bill wns upon its third ma-ling,
und therefore, upon aded-ion of tho Speaker was
open for discussion on its iner ts, ami its friends nnd
fiats wore prepured to dt'luite it. Mr Hunter of
Cruwf ird.Goti.Clevelnn I.Mr.Stoelo of Stewart, ami
Gen. Gl itcock addressed the I I-tis.- in favour of tho
hill; Mr. Crew-find, Mr. Jenkins, Mr. Flournoy, Mr.

was then made to postpone th- further considera

The House then adjourned. ,
