SAVANNAH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1840. No. 48 [Correipondence of the Ckarlnton Courier.] WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. Neither Homo of Congress i* in session tn-dnv. The Standins Committee* nre to bo announced on Monday, and thuto is much speculation n* to their fhurnoler. Tbo question is, wheiitor Mr* Hunter will feel bound to placoudntinl«tin'ion majorities nn the prim ipnl committee*, with a view to fucililntn tbo progress of publio business, fur which tbo ad ministration is responsible—or, whether ho will place the businri* In the hands of those gentlemen— i. e., the Whig* aiid Nullifi<-rs—who - loeted him. It is a *afu ami just parliamentary principle that tho Committoe* ought to represent thn majority of tipi House. If tbo majority tiro friendly to tho mea sures of the ndmini-tration, then the Committees idtnnld bo formed accordingly: but of this there is some doubt. Tho administration have a decided mnjnri'y for tho Suli-Tn usury, but it docs not yot appear, notwithstanding the assertions of thn Rich mond Enquirer, tirnt tbo Cullimm tnotnbcrs (*o call ed) am teitily to go till lengths, on all questions, with tho nduiioistiniion. Wo shall sec how they will vote on tho printing question—which is, un- duuiiicdly, us fair it test hs the .Spoukcr’* election. If they could not vote larMr.-Jon.-*, cun they vote for thoGluhoT It'th«-y cun, then tho hrcncli,moo ted by (ho uncetemonious abandonment of Mr. Pick- ous, may be coitsuleied a* closed. We liuva many rilmor* nllont, ns to the course uf Mr. Calhoun und his friends; hut mmc of them nre to lio relied on. As fast ns otto obtains curmnny it i* contradicted, ami superi-ndml by aiiotliei'. Tho amuttnt of it seems to Ito, that the Ritelinmin into* rest is willing to ruceivo Mr. Calhotin in lull com munion; hut that, between him ami Mr. Heaton, there is a deep gulplt. We sltull smut be able to lournfrumMr. Cullioun's.owa lips the truth in re- gaol to his present position. 1 huve very litllu doubt that Mr. Speaker Hunter will place Mr, Rhett or Mr. Pickens, at the head of the Commit- too of Ways nnd Means, uti.l cast that Committee in such a way as tofaeditnte thefiihincinl measures of the administration. On the Cmnmitl- o of Fo reign A flit I rs, ho cun place a npymjiy nf Whigs, with Mr. Cusliingas Chairntnu; opeojujy ns the House is umininimiB upon the. only important ques tion touching ear foreign rotations, Mr, W'isa wn* cxctisud from serving on tiny Stan ding Committee, The** private rensott," which ho say* ho had for making this retpiest, I do not know. It tnny he, shut having hi-ett intluentiul in tho elec tion of Mr. Iluniefvmd prumineiil in rip) party that gave their unanimous support to him, the Speaker might liuvn been disposed to place him at soino pest i>f nihor tvl ici* ho did not du-ife. It is presumed, too, that Mr. Wise wil: heat tho h>-tpl of a Commit li-u of investigut$oo, os h-rctnliire. No champion has yut appearud for the assumption of State debts. Col.

Tho news from Richmond is, that the •'impracti cable*” fitivo given way, and thin Mr. Kiv will la* eh eled to tho U. S.

Only a few sciittorqd lopuiants suvod themselves by (lying to Soukoipn Jvtilu.Attupn, and other f«t lifted places.
