The Seuatc did not sit to-day, but the time was employed iu the Committee R.i ufis more advantageously, by placing i tlie business iu a state for legislative ac- j lion. It is through these liitJe intervals, tout, the Senate is always enabled tube so much in advance <•/ tb‘‘ House. Mr. Gilmer, of Virgiiiu., nsigned his seat to-dav. takiug an affectionate fare well of the body, and expressing the re spect he fell for the members individual ly and collectively. He will enter upon tii i duties of his office to-morrow. The debale was resumed on the report of die Select Committee on the rules when Mr. Campbell of your State spoke his allotted hour. He was particularly severe on Mr. Ad mi?, and the course pursued by him, and spoke of the Reso lutions which had been introduced first to ecu sure and then expel that geutle inaii; and that it seemed to him fMr. C.) that A. was glad to tly to any covert to hide from his pursuers, the avengers of the violated dignity of the Home, Hr en mired by what p»iucipie gentlemen could assert that there was no jiower to establish the 81st rule, when under this rerv rule tliev had excluded tlte.se peti tions of which die South had so much cause to complain. He contended that th're was no power under the Constitu tion to abolish slavery in the District of Cos uinbia, and .surrounded as the District ' Was bv.S.uvehnldmg States, it would l>e to set fire to a large house in the midst of a densely populated city. Mr. C. was j ist about giving a solemn warning to Mr. Cl mgmaii, of North Carolina, on the views taken by that gentleman some time since ill this debate, when the Speaker's hammer fell on the desk with a sound like a funeral hell, to announce that the allotted time had ex|4red—-and thus he was cut off in the imd-»t of a most im pressive lesson to one of his Southern brethren. Mr. Burt, of your State, will occupy the floor on Monday. The people are tiwd of this debate, and \x hen they know that all the Smith can say they will not change a single vote, they would rather the mutter should be brought to issue ut once. Washington, Feb. 17. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Campbell occupied the morning hour ie a speech replete with sound sense and strong argument, upon the de signs and tendency of the Abolition ex citement. The House has been for the last two days engaged on the private hills before it.’ It is, we believe, the parliamentary: practice, if not the rule, that on such oc-; casions the members should disperse; and one of the most efficient methods of Flopping disputed hills, is to move a di vision. This shows that there is no quo rum present; and then the member in terested ngreCs to let the bill be passed over, or take an adjonrnm*. nt. The on ly fault of tliis arrangement probably i c , l that too many stay. If all the members would leave the House, excepting the committee which has consider*d and re ported he bi I, with a good jury oftwehe to try, it would be by far the host ar rangement. The members of Congress have too much to do, properly to consid er the innumerable private claims against rhe Government. They must rely on the committee of claims; and we know scarcely any |K>sition in which more good can bedo.;e in the country in a private wav, than in attending to these private claims. Nine-tenths have no merit; aid one-h.df lielore the House ttave been bofbre rejected. We speak, of cOitrse, of those which are disputable.— Spectator. * Tb fi st Diet.

Ft b. 16. 1?44. Scnreeiv had the excitement concern ing the Maryland election been allayed hvThe netrs published in your paper of. this morning, when the city was thrown 1 into the greatest concern occasioned by a rumor tiuu two of pgr yftiytg men hyd leltTne Cfty for the ptftpOSe ot a duel. This proved too true. Th 4 ]w ties, Mr. Julian May, and Joseph Coreo- i ran, both of highly respectable families, j it seems left this city about <1 o’clock this j morning, accotnpaiiFd by their seconds and stopped in Fairfax county. Va.. near the chain bridge and imuiediaieiy beyond the district sines and after tlie ground was measured, they took their station at thirty paces, each armed with a rifle.— At the first fire, Corcoran fell mortally wounded, and died in a few minutes— he was shut in the forehead. Dr. Mil ler, an eminent surgeon of tips city was in. attendance, but his services were of no avail. The challenge was given by May, on account of the epithet of coward being applied by Corcoran. Dr. Miller, and the seconds of the parties, while on the ground used every exertion to have the affair compromised, hut Corcoran re fused to listen to any thing of the kind. Pooler and Robert Cuylor, acted as seconds for May, and a Mr. Ash, soli of j Michael W. Ash, of Philadelphia, and one other whose name I have not been able to ascertain, ns seconds for Corcoran. May did not return to the city but fled into Virginia and has not yet been arres ted. He is the brother of Capt. May, tylio figured so conspicuously a few mouths ago iu an affair with Key. Cor coran was of a highly respectable family, but did not follow any profession. A challenge passed yesterday between Poo ler and Ash, two of the seconds, hut at a late hour last night an apology was sent by Ash, which was accepted, in lien of a similar warlike satisfaction. Thi* affair has caused a universal feeling of indig nation at the boldness of the parties con cerned. Tlie law’s provide the most se vere punishment against the challengers, bearers of challenges,seconds, principals, &.c.; still under the very nose of the offi cers of the jaw—nay, iu a house where resided many of the framers of this very law, was prepared the implements of death u>ed in the conflict. Corcoran was about seventeen years of ago, and the fact of their being about to go out for the purpose, of fighting, it is said was known to the brothers of both parties Thus has been summoned one who might pave been an ornament to society, to the presence of his Creator, w hile just hi the act of attempting the same on one, with whom he had been an intimate acquain tance for years. It is a most clitoWrng occurrence to the friends and families of both parties. The insulting remark was used iu a conversation held between Corcoran and two others—one of these, a friend of May, repealed the expression io May. This drew forth the challenge, and consequently the death of this young man. This statement may he relied on, as it has been obtained from an authentic source. Ti>e N’exv Briti;«li Minister. The N<nv York Express of Saturday says:—“The lion. Richard Packeuham and Secretary left yesterday by the nine o’clock train, en route for Washington. 11. B. Majesty sloop of war Vestal, will remain here until the arrival of Air. Fox, from Washington, who will return iu her to England, and not to Mexico, as has been stated. A self acting ventilator for hos pitals, public schools, theatres, and other places of public resort, has been recently invented by a Mr. Thomas Wiougbton, which, from its evident simplicity and utility, is worthy of extensive introduc tion. The apparatus consists of a venti lator connected with a mercurial valve, which is acted upon by heat, and by means of a float acting upon a sort of slide, a spring opens the ventilator, so as to admit precisely such a quantity of ex ternal air as will purify the internal at mosphere, and bring it to a determined point. We will suppose, for instance, that it is desired that the temperature should be n fixed one of sixty degrees of Fahrenheit. The thermometer connect ed with his mercurial valve is fixed at sixty. As soon ivs the heat of the place, from the breathing of the (lersons assem bled, or from any other cause, has raised the temperature beyond this point, the valve opens of itself* and admits as much pure air as will cool down the tempera ture to the point desired, whilst the heat ed and ion I uir escapes. Railway Transit. —From returns of 41 rai'ways in Great Britain, extend ing over 1.562 miles, we learn that du ring the last week ill October upwards of 500,0H0 passcngeis travelled ii|iou them, paying fares amounting to L 76,002, 2s, 21-2d., which, with the money received for the conveyance of goinls, amounted to L. 103,642, 2s. 2d. This is an ave rage of alNitit L 65 a mile per week.— The traffic, therefore, produces fully at the rate of L 4,500,000 per annum, or one-sixth and a half of the interest of the national debt. The yearly number of travellers by railway, calculated from the above weekly return, amounts to 20,900,- 000, or three millions more than the total population of Great Britain. Os course passenger* do not count as individuals, for one person may travel several times in the course of the year. Finnncceitiis Afloat. The O. C.

She visited the Sandwich Islands, ihence proceeded to Manilla, and China, and at one lime was supposed to have been cold. She has been reported about four months af ter leaving t'hnsan, nt Valparaiso, the following having appeared in a written list of arrivals and d’partures from that place:—“Art Sept. 8, Brits O. C.

Boston Adv. ■ I I The O C. Raymond has been sold long since, papers, ffag, and all.

Potent Ilorse-Pnirer Saw-Mill. —Mr. John Norcross, of Pntnnfo, has obtained a patent for a Horse-Power Saw-Mill on the planofthe inclined trend-w’heel and adhesive pillly the saw running in guides From the different certificates we have seen, it appears that Mr. IN. has built several mills and that all of them work well, saw ing from 500 to 1000 feet of lumber per day, with three mules or horses. The cost for building one ol these mills is comparatively small, and requiring no water to propel them, they will no doubt be of great advantage to persons living far from water courses or those residing in the prunes.—Milledge ville Journal 20 th inst. Rimarkable presence of mind.— The Norwalk (Conn.) Gazette relates an incident which occurred in that town a few evenings ago, exhibiting the most remarkable degree of presence of mind and cool intrepidity in a child that we have ever known. A company of lads, of ages from about 8 «« 12 and 14 years, were amusing themselves on skates, cm wliat is know n as the old Triphammer Pond. One of the younger of the com pany, a son of Milton Durand, in the course of his sports, was carried into the water, and nt a depth too, beyond his read). The fate of the poor little fellow seemed inevitable. He sunk and rose, and no help appeared. The first thought which occurred to his companions was to throw him a sit’d, lielonging to one of the nnmlier, tliai lie might grasp it, and by their holding the string he might he thrown out upon solid ice. The appli cationfor the sled, however, was refused. At this crisis a son of Mr. Stiles Curtis started ashore for a rail from the fence.— This, however, required time, and the applicant for the tiled, a little son of .lames AV. Hvalt,deemed the first thought the best, and determined to put it into execution. He therefore attacked the owner, knocked him down, seized the sled, and with the prom; tness and decis ion which seemed to have marked his whole conduct, threw it in to his compa nion, and safely drew him from his peri lous and drowning situation. The young hero fold the story with nil the simplicity of a child, and said his com panion had risen for the last time. Texas. The steam ship New York, Captain AVright arrived iast night from Galves ton, bringing papers from that place to the 3d instant, and from Houston to the 31st uJI. The Texian Congress is still in ses sion. AmoMg the acts under the consid eration of that l»ody, is one for the an nexation of Texas to the United States. This* the Telegraph says, passed the House of Representatives a short time since by an almost unanimous vote ; but no public action has been had upon it by tlie Senate, although it is known that the Senators are, to a man, in fuvoi of annexation. The editor infers that a se cret act has l>eeii passed in relation to the subject, and corroborates wliat lias been already disclosed regarding the ef fectuation of the measure by a treaty. The following is a list of the passen gers who left Galveston on the loth ult. in the schooner Galveston for New (>r leans, supposed to be lost:—Captain AV. Ricketts ; mate and three hands, names unknown ; passengers -Midshipman Bryant, formerly of the Texas Navy; Mr. Degeurs, wile and child ; Mr. Klean, and a German female, name unknown. The schooner Santa Anna arrived at Galveston on the 27t!i ult. from Corpus Christi, with despatches »o the govern ment from the Texas Commissioners. They were directed to be forwarded with the utmost haste. Although no clue was furnished to their character, a favorable construction was placed upon their con tents. Misunderstandings, continue to arise upon the Sabine growing out of attempts to evade the revenue laws of liotli coun tries; some bad feelings have been created by the seizure by tlie United States reve nue cutter Vigilant of a keel lioat for al leged violation of our reyetiue laws. Fears are entertained for the safety of Capt. Sanchez, who went out some months since to treat with the Indians. It is feared he is murdered. A'etc Orleans Rep. Feb. 6. A Voice from Washington. The following is an extract from a private letter, dated 11th February,from one of our Democratic Representatives in Congress • “ Tlie most gratifying news is pouring in upon us from every quarter, —Georgia and Maryland Alone break the clmrin.— This ought not, and must not be so. 1 am now engaged din - writing to every section of the Stale, arousing our peo;4e lrom the abominable lethargy that is pressing us to the wall. Be up and do ing, we can carry the State.’’ “ AVe are all alive here to the issue, and prepared to do our duty.” AVe feel that the appeal will not be made in vain to the intelligence of the people of Georgia. They are not so dead to ilie true interests of their State, not quite so Clay-ridden yet, as to desert all their cherished principles, when the true issues are laid clearly before them. All that we require is ACTION ! ACTION!! ACTION !! ! Let the testimony on both sides be clearly and distinctly laid before the people, —let every possible ex ertion be made to effect this object, and wc do not fear their verdict. Hlr Calhoun and the Pf Sidency. The Washington Spectator, in noticing the refusal of the Mobile Tribune to takedown Mr. Calhoun’s name as a candidate for the Presidency, says:— “Nothing but the conviction that the democratic party would be true to their principles in Congress, induced ns to fol low the example for the Charleston Mer cury, which, from its position, may bo presumed to understand most intimate ly Mr. Caliioux’s wishes and opinions, and to take his name from our columns. But it requires no great effort to put it back again: and if the emergency requires the Stuie Rights’ party to assume an in dependent position, back again it shall go. At all events, we look but lorn tem porary absence of this great name from our colunis. The pending presidential election being over, we shall, next fall, announce him ns a candidate for the Presidency, never again to be with drawn.” Mr. r lay. With his own hands, cut an ash pole for the Clay club at Baltimore. (>n Sat urday, as we learn from the whig prints, the Clay club from Bolton came into the city with a sort of log cabin oil runners, stuck round with boughs of pine , So it will lie through the campaign—ash iti one section, and pine in another, magno lia there, and buttonwood here; but the summer of’4s will show them all scath ed, branchless, barren and bare, dead to the veiy roots, affording no shade to cool the fever of disappointed ambition, fit only for a funeral pyre, and valueless even in their ashes. Fro:n the Weekly EleralJ, l“th inst. important from Washington—A B"ltl Move of Captain Tyler for the Presidency. AVe learn by a private (nol our regular) correspondent at Washington, that the President has made up his mind to make the following nominations to the Senate, on an early day next week : Gilmer, of Virginia, tor the War Department. Wilkins of Pennsylvania, Navy Department. Shannon of Ohi), Minister to France. Juilge Maicy of New York, Judge Supreme Court. These nominations, so far as personal character, great talent, and public repu tation, are in question, are very high and very unoxcepdonable. In a political point of view, and for the purpose of creating anew and powerful interest in the four large central States, that in iy control the presidential election, they are the most remarkable, well-selected, and powerful men, that could have been named. In Virginia, Air. Gilmer’s influence, connections and efforts, are expected, by the I‘resident’s friends, to give a blow to the Van Buren party from which they cannot recover. In Pennsylvania, Air. W if kins is a strong Calhoun and Shunck man— Sbmick he.ng throughly anti-Van Buren, and against Muhlenberg, who is also a candidate for Governor. Slinu non is equally a powerful democrat, and hostile to Van Buren in Ohio. Marcy i‘ well known in this Stale to be some what opposed to Van Buren, or cool to wards him, while he possesses exten sive connections with the democracy. But, above ali, these powerful politi cians are equally opposed to Van Buren and and Clay, and we should not be sur prised to see a strong effort now made to organize, on strong materials, a PhiTft deiphia Convention, on the 4th of July, to nominate John Tyler for the next Presidency, in opposition to (Tiny and Van Bur en, ad thud carry the election into the House of Representatives. At all events, as soon as these nominations shall have been made, a most terrible ex citement will break out at Washington among the two old factions. This is the boldest as well as the great est democratic move that Captain Tyler ever made, and it demolishes, with the White House, the influence of Webster, Rives, and Tallrnadge at a blow. Will the Senate refuse to confirm these men l Let them dare to do that, mid we will see a fresh excitement rise np throughout the country. At all events, it is now certain that anew influence has been ro nbihed and created iu the White House, at Washington, which will be able to cope with Clay mid Van Buret)— and perchance, its first effects may lie a complete revolution in the chief public offices in New York—the Collector and Postmaster. This is decidedly the best move ever yet made by Captain Tyler. Good luck to him. twit have fun soon. Avaasma sAvsr anna ixsauMg. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1844. ~■ t r». ‘>4 n. UJvE A.rtO>v> tV..

We are requested to give notice that a Lecture will be delivered at the Catholic Church every Sunday at 4 o’clock, du ring lent, by the Rev. Thomas Murrhy, Catholic Pastor of this place. The - ! 2J of I ebruary. This auspicious day for the world and human liberty was celebrated by our three volunteer Corps with great spirit and mil itary display. The Macon volunteers, Captain Holmes, the Floyd Rifles, Capt. Ross, and the Bibb Cavalry, Capt. Ry lander, united in rendering that tribute of respect to the occasion, which its rec ollection inspired. Certainly, few more auspicious events are recorded in the an nals of history than the birth of George \\ asiungton by universal admission, the purest patriot, and greatest uninspi red man, who ever lived. The two characters in authentic history that most nearly resemble this greatest of all hu man characters, are, we think, William the first prince of Orange, and John Hampden, the english patriot. But to return to the celebration. The atmos phere which had been most unpleasantly dusty for several days was cleared by a fortunate shower of roin which took place early in the morning, and the sun shoue brightly for the rest of the day.— We do not think that our volunteer com panies ever displayed themselves to great er advantage than on this day. After the usual parades aid solvtes in honor of the day the companies Were dis missed, and the day terminated by a ball at the Central Hotel, the festivities of which were prolonged far after the watching time of night. Long may our citizens keep in recollection the annual return of this glorious day, and our spi rited volunteer corps thus celebrate it. Southern Cultivator. Wc again call the attention of our planting friends to this excellent publica tion of which the 4th No. of the 2d vol ume bus been published and is full of instructive and important matter to far mers. Price only one dollar a year. 1 he Athens Banner.’ We are sorry our respectable cotempo rary, the Athens Banner, has, as we sur mise, (certainly without any wish to be discourteous) assumed a false position.— The mimosa which shrinks before the breath of evening is not mote tremulous ly sensitive than the Banner ti anything that affects, or that he imagines may ef fect the interest of Air. Van Buren. AVe remember in an earlier stage of the dis cussion, tlie Banner and its correspond ents were not sparing in their animad versions on Mr. Calhoun, and were loud iu their repudiation of that great man’s claims. When longer forbearance on the part of Air. <Vs friend ceased to lie prudence, and they pointed out what they conscientiously believed unfitted Mr. V. for the presidency in the present and approaching circumstances of the country, the Banner and its allies flew out upon them, seemingly with the tem per, if not the force, of disturbed hornets ; and we were read long and bitter homi lies on the crime of disturbing the har mony and jeopardising tlie existence of the democratic party. We beg leave to ask any reasoning, candid man whether the previous and unprovoked attacks on Air. C. and his friends were not still more adapted to divide, distract mid break down the democratic party ? Wo reiterate our regrets that the B. has not yet exorcised its intolerant spirit towards those who differ with it respect ing Air. Yan Buren. We infer that de sirable event has not taken place from the recent attack of that print on that faithful, fearless, vigilant and talented guardian of the rights, honour and inter ests not only of his constituents, but of our common country, the Hon. Edward j J. Black. ) This gentleman incurred the Excnibe dra censure of the Athens journalist, by offering a resolution to instruct the com mittee, to which as part of its duty, wrs '-ommitted the revision of the Clay tariff bill of forty-two—a bill which for the in dulgence of sordid, insatiable, infatuated avarice?— for an utter disregard of all that the upright and honorable mind and en lightened true-hearted American patriot holds sacred, surpasses any in the long and dark catalogue of nets, similar in character, tliough not quite equal in mor al and political terpiHide, which during the last tuenty i’cars, have impressed an indelible stjuu on pnr national legislation !f-acts that from their intents and results wonld more appropriately have emana ted from men leagued together to plun der the people, than from the dignitaries of ts. S. Congress. Had each man of the majorities that sanctioned these airo- Ai’.ties against moral principle, common honesty, wise legislation and the general welfare of their country, received from their constituents the pithy instructions of Falstaff to his bully pfince, ‘ Rob me tlir Exchequer Hall,’ they could riot more faithfully have complied with tF ir mstfucjions. Mi tell ell did not stand alone among them. A single fact will vindicate the above statement—iu the twenty years during which the Clay pestilence of the Amerf can sysrietn bfecatnc rife, the population of j the U. S. increased in the ratio of one, while the expenditure became threefold. See Mr. Calhoun’s speech iu Senate March 16th, 1842. The ‘ horse-leech and her daughters’ though for ever screamiug ‘give, give, j give,' are abstemious compared with the American system patriots. But wc re turn to the Banner. We regret, it did not occur to the editor before he issued bis animadversions on Mr. Black’s ‘reso lution to instruct’ that that gentleman was not less honestly anxious to preserve unimpaired, the strength and union of the democratic party, nor less qualified to judge of the means necessary to en sure that vital object than the editor of the Banner. Mr. Black has been for nearly twenty years a representative of the democracy of Georgia, either in the halls of their own legislature, or on the floor of eon gress and through that long period, (much longer than the editor has been among us) enjoyed their unhesitating confidence. In congress, Edward Black's parliamentary experience, ability as de bater, bold eloquence and sound constitu tional principles, have ranked American states met of no common order. The rig lit of the house to instruct its committees, the right of a member to move for such instruction and the propri ety of Black’s doing so are equally indie bitable. From the very dubious course pitrsu ing by the Van Buren party in congress on the revision of the; tariff law of ’42 and the 21st rule, it became a point ol urgent interest to the whole confederacy peculiarly so to the South, to asccrtaii the ultimate action on these measures, oj decision may depend the preservation oj disruption of the union and the futun destinies of oui* common country, fii are glad to know Air. B.’s course on th question has met the unqualified appro bntion of his constituents. We beg leave to ask the Bannc whether it lias at any time been faVora ble to the Tariff or Protective policy.
