Correepondenee of the Chronicle A Sentinel MU.LEDGSVlt.LE, Dec. 10, P. M. The Bill giving rid to the Brunswick A Flor ida aad to the Savannah A Gulf Railroads, if as taken up this morning. Mr. Dunnagan moved to roeonsidor Judge Baxter’s amendment, lost on Saturday, which proposed submitting toe question of Stole aid to the people at the next Presidential election. Nearly the whole morn lag Wat spent in debate consequent on Mr. D.’s motion ; bat it was finally lost by • vote of 51 to 43. The Senate then took up a bill which pro vides that toe Supreme court shall hold its sit tings In Augusta, Savannah, Athens, Atlanta and Macon and in no other places. About the middle ofthe afternoon session, the bill passed; whereupon the Senate resawed the considera tion of the Railroad bit! above mentioned. Dr. Scraven moved to add an additional sec. tion, providing that if tbe bonds in aid of the Roads should be sold below par, no more bonds should thereafter issue to the company so sol* ling. Adopted. Judge Cone offered an amendment, but after ward* withdrew it, providing that bonds sold below par shall not bind too State. Tbe Jadge then proposed toe following additional section, which was adopted, vis: The bonds in rid shall not go to toe discharge of debts now duo by the company recciriog them, nor to the con struction or original equipment of too first twenty miles of Road; if this section ho viola ted, the President and Directors of the Compa ny it shall he individually responsible for the redemption of toe bonds thus missapplied. Tbe rill was then put upon its passage, and went through by a vote of 50 to 48. Mr. Millar, President pro tem, was occupying his sent on toe floor ofthe Senate at the time when the vote was token, Col. Lawson, of Burke, tn the Chair. His nam* having been called, however, he roee and stated that be was not en titled Unvote, except ia case of n tie, in which event be would vote for tbe rill. An attempt wilt bo made in toe morning to reconsider the vote of to day, but will not,- I think, succeed. Tbe rill has yet to take its ehame in the House. house. . Tbe Speaker of too House, Hon. W.

L, From the-Chronicle A Sentinel. Proscription practiced by onr Fore-Fath ers. In the Act of the Legislature of Georgia, passed on the7th February, 1785, it is provided that an alien may become a citizen, “who has residsd at least twelve months in the same, and after the expiration thereof, doth obtain from the grand jury of the court, where he resides, a certificate, purporting that he hath demeaned himself as^an honest man, and friend to the government Ofthe State,” and upon his having Caid certificate duly recorded, and taking the Oath of allegiance. Fqr toe benefit and Instruction of some dem agogues, who would confer upon all foreigners our inestimable privileges, as pearls are cast before swine, only to be trampled in toe dust, we copy, the third section of the act entire: Provided always, and be it enacted by the authority aforesaid,. That no such person (ali en boro, thus made a citizen) shall bo a mem ber of the Generai- Assembly or the executive council, or hold any office of trust or profit, or vote, for members of the General Assembly for the term of seven years, and «itf <7 the Legisla ture shall, by special act for that purpose, ena ble such person so to do. And provided also, that all such aliens, or persons aforesaid, shall be subject aad liable to pay such alien duties as have been heretofore, or may hereafter be imposed by toe Legislature.” So we see that although an alien might be admitted to citizenship and enjoy all toe pro* tection of onr laws and institutions, yet was he not entitled to honors and profits of office, nor to exercise that actof sovereignty, to vote, un til after a residence of seven years from the time of taking the oath of all allegiance, nor even then, except by special act in his behalf.— Theoriginal act can be found in the old Digest of Watkins, at page 303. Several of these spe cial ants, naming the individual, may bb found in the same volume—page 305, 307, 308, 340, 362,^nd on page 379 Alexander H. Stephens, among others by special act, to all the rights and privilege* of citizenship. Was this the progenitor of our illustrious Congressman, the Hon. Alexander Hamilton Stephens ? Whom perhaps it would require another special act to make a good citizen of. We submit to gentlemen of the legal profes sion, how mueh of the act' of 1785, and what parts of it aro repealed by the 8tb Section of the 1st Article of the Constitution of the United 8totes which confers upon Congress the right “to establish a uniform role of naturalization.” Book Work.

The New York Evining Mirror tons alludes to toe present disturbances, in Kansas: The Abolition War Begun !—Tho virgin soil of Kansas is stained with the blood of its citi zens. The Abolition-fanatics and vagabonds, wbo have been sent out by societies of organ ized traitors against the Union, have at last committed toe overt act, and a civil war is be gun. Witfaoat entering into the abstract ques tion, whether it Is right or wrong for white men to own black men, we have now olny to look at the simple feet, that Slaves are Pbofer- TT. The Missourians are fighting for their prop erty ; and in this they have as much right to claim toe protection ofthe Federal Government as if they wece fighting for tbe purses in tbeir pockets, the horses in tbeir .stables, or the food and plate upon tbeir tables. On the other band the Abolitionists ars blustering and murdering, not in self defence—not to protect any tangible rights—but merely for an abstraction of doubt ful equity, and of which' tooy really care but little or nothing beyond tbe present notoriety and the future political consequence it may give them. We do not justify all the acts of the Pro-Sla very men of Missonri; but inasmuch as we res pect a man who stands ready to defend hi* prop erty with J>ie life, in foe bloody business, our sympathies are decidedly against tbe Aboli tionists. And we hope they will get such a dose of pills from tbe muzzles of Federal muskets as will silence tbeir Anti-Slavery and treasonous clamor to tbe sod of Time.

Rome Market. Dec. 17.—Cotton dull at flroi Corn 50ete^ and Wheat “JMkury CmuSTiiAS ” is near at hand and oil who are prepared to "pay up” will doubtless eqjoy tbo Holydays with much gusto. The bountiful crops and almost unpreoeden ted prosperity of the farming interests of the country have filled the hearts of all classes with joy and gladness. The crops of the pres ent year hare not only been unusually largo bat have commanded high prices, so that nearly all con make their payments in full. There is one praotiee in vogue among too many of onr business men, which, thongh not uncommon, is yet radically wrong. It is that of investing money which one owes. This, betide being unjust and hard upon the oreditor, when viewed in its proper light, is dishonorable and radically wrong—wrong, morally and so cially and ought by no means to be practiced by any well mea> ing man. But we set out. to say a word to our delin quent subscribers, in order to put us in a way to have a “merry Christmas”—but it is really so hard “to scew our courage up to tho stick ing point,” that we—we—ahem—wo wish you to pay allyonr debts—-and be s are not to forget the pittance due tho Printer.

There is at present, an intense excitement, in some-sections, and a deep and thrilling in terest everywhere throughout the length and bTeadth of our beloved coontry, in regard to tbe difficulties in the Territory of Kansas. These troubles, all have their origin in the bigoted folly, illiberality, and narrow minded ness of freesoil fanaticism; and since that the issue, which has been made in Kansas between lreesoil and slavery, was not properly provi ded for in tbe Bill organizing it as a Territory, the South should so act ss to maintain tbe character she has so nobly sustained in past emergencies, of high toned Statesmanship, lib erality and genuine conservatism. The South should fearlessly and patriotically maintain her rights, but not suffer herself to be provoked, by any meanness of her opponents, to any indiscretion or wrong course of conduct. If civil war ensues the awful responsibility rests with those Emigrating Societies of the Eastern States which undertook, by artificial means, to change the natural tide of emigration and thereby accomplish the double purpose of ridding themselves of a surplus population, restive, lawless, worthless and dangerous to the welfare of the community; and at the same time gratify—as they hoped, and as the sequel bas shown with poo much reason—their envy, by crippling tbe growing prosperity of tbeir Southern neighbors. Tbe course pursued by these Societies was underhanded and in exceeding bad faith to wards the South. A false stimulus was given to emigration, and sectional and political pre judices were appealed to still large numbors, swayed rather by a spirit of fanaticism, than by a proper regard for thoir individual interests, joined in to swell tbo “crowd for Kansas, ^Thcre is one fact in regard to the “ material” sent, by these Societies to Kansas, out of which citizens were to bo manufactured by a very summary process, that ought to receive a psssing notice ; and that is, that their prima ry^ object was to sond tbo large importations of foreign paupers and criminals; and tho “ squatter sovereignty,” by its magical power, would, in a jiffy, after landing in tho territory make good Democrats of them all. This was regarded as a “ Democratic move” and the “Chicago Democrat,” a leading Pierce paper, says: “ Tho same Democratic principles which make as detest slavery, make us anxious for a healthy foreign (migration os tbe boat means of getting rid of it. Tbe action of those societies induced the citizens of Missouri to adopt moasures for coun teraction, and thus step by step the sectional strife' bat procoodcd till tho true patriots of all sections look upon it with fearful forebodings. Blood bas alrtady beon spilled, and it is to be feared that Kansas is abont to bocome toe thca tre of a sanguinary strugglo. Tho flames of intestine war, lighted op in one corner of the Union, will, if not suppressed, spread to other points of oootaet where the materials can be found for a pro-slavery and an Anti-slavory conflict—sectional prejudices Hid strifes will bo nourished aqd embittered. Bat tfci, not tnust not bo. January elections will soon bo here and it be hooves every man to bo nt his post. Let him do his duty as a quiet, peaceable, ^orderly American citizen—go to the polls and east hia voto for those men who will faithfully and hon estly discharge the duties inouinbent upon the office to Which their friends Seek to raise them. Our matto is; “let office seek tbe man and not man the office. Talents and qual ifications cannot tong bo burled.

This boing the case we will giro thorn our cordial support, not because wo believe “partisan efforts or fldolity to party interest richly merit rewards,” but because they are oapablo, honest, and well .qualified; and in addition to this they carry within tbeir bosoms, feelings and sentiments eongonial to those wi wo entertain relatiro to governmental The idea of October, with its reverses, arc poin ted to by tbo Southerner, nfi asmuahee of too future succo*4 of tho Democratic party, but wo hope hotter th&gsTn January. The Field of ’56 Tho Presidential track is clear for the race of 1850; and the time to bring out tho candid ates draw* near. Tho American Party, by tbeir recent triumphs, have placed themselves in a position to win an easy victory. A glorious opportunity opens before them. Let wise coun sel prevail, and the strong Republican element of Protestant Americanism may now be eleva-' ted and inaugurated os the ruling spirit of tho Union. But too new party must speedily divest itself of those dements of weakness—Oaths and Secrecy ; and cultivate a more Christian toleration towards all religious sects—which do not admit of any human supremacy over the State. Romanism is scarcely deserving of tbo name of religion. It is simply a Secret Order, strug gling subtly and unscroupulously for temporal power, and using the sacred name of Christ as a cloak for its sins. It is for this reason that we oppose it, that we protest against it, and that wo regard its active Jesuitical agents as disqualified for tbe discharge of the executive offices of the Republic. There is a system of espionage and proselyteisin connected with this powerful hierarchy, that renders the whole system of Romanism incompatible with Re publicanism. It is based upon tbe ignorance ^nd superstitions of the masses; and crowned by the loro of ritual splendor and easy absolu tion among the vainer, wicked and wealthier classes. There is not a word spoken against Romanism at a dinner table in'New York, overheard by Catholic waiters, that may not be repeated at tfie Vatican, if the Poposo wishes it The ser vant behind your chair tells, the Priest at the Confessional, the Priest tells the Bishop, tbe Bishop tells tbo Cardinal, and the Cardinal tells tbo Pope. The wholo system is one wide whis per gallery; and its tyranny ever has been, and always will bo, commensurate with its pow er. Therefore, every honest friend of Freedom and Humanity must boldly protest against it. The Nationality of tbo American Party must be tbe main pillar of its support. It must lcaro tbe cursed question of Slavery where the Constitution has confined it—a do mestic institution, entirely under the control of the individual States. Then let them bring ont good men for office—groat men for great offices, and honest men for all offices, and all the powers of their adversaries, “ with tbe de mons down nnder the sea,” cannot provont them from sweeping tbe fiold in 1856. Among tbe prominent candidates for tbe Presidency, we may mention Crittenden and Morehead, of Kentucky; Fillmore and Law, of New York; Bates of Missouri; and Chouto and Everett, of Massachusetts. On tbe Presi dential ticket, tbe candidates should represent both the North and tbe South, and both of the old political parties.—AT. Y. Slirrw Correspondence of the Savannah Journal. Miledgeville, Eec. 12th, 1855’ A lady (a Mrs Gordon of Atlanta) delivered a lecture in tbe Senate Chamber last night, on tho subject ,of Education. Quite a number of members of the Legislature was present, and- they evidently listened to tbe arguments and Appeals of the.fair speaker with much more fa vor than if those arguments had proceeded from bearded lips.

Slasher.—Wo adopt the following bints which we find in a cotemporary as a gonuine home item,” and we wish that all our readers may treasure them up in tbeir hearts and suf fer them to be ever present in their memory. We have probably all of ns met with instances in which a word heedlessly spoken against tbo reputation of* a female bas been magnified by malicious minds until tbo cloud bas beconio dark enough to overshadow her whole exis tence. To those wbo are accustomed—not oeoessarily from bad motives, but from thought lessness—to speak lightly of females, we rc* commend the “bints” as worthy of considera tion :—“Never use a lady’s name in an improp er place, at an improper time, or in mixed com pany. Never make assertions about her that yon think are untrue, or allusions that you feel she herself would blush to hear. When yen meet with men that do not scrnple to make nse of a woman’s name in a reckless and un principled manner, shun them, for they are tho very worst members of tho community— men lost to every sense of honor—every feel ing of hnmamity. Many a good and worthy woman’s character has been forever rained, and her heart broken by' a lie, manufactured by some villi&n, and repeated where it should not have beon, and in the presence of thoso whose little judgment could not deter them from cir culating the foul and bragging report. A slan der is soon propagated, and the smallest thing derogatory to a woman’s character will fly on tho wings of tbe wind, and magnify as it circu lates until its monstrous weight crushes tbe poor unconscioas victim. Respect the name of woman, for your mother and sister are wo men; and as you would have their fair name untarnished, and their lives nnembittered by tho slanderer’* biting tongue, heed the ill that your own words may bring upon tbe mothor, the sister, or tbe wife of some follow creature.’ THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.

The House at 12 M, proceeded to take the 35th ballot for Speaker, ns follows: Banks, 100; Richardson, 74; Fuller, 31; Zhl- licoffer, 5, Pennington, 1; Smith of Alabama, 3,and three scattering votes. Whole nnmber of votes, 221; necessary to a choice, 111. No choice. Mr. THORINGTON, of Iowa, offered a res olution providing that after three more ballots were taken, on the fourth ballot a plurality should elect, provided said plurality were a ma jority of a quorum of the House. Much confusion was caused by the introduc tion of this resolution, and at the request of Mr. Giddings, it was withdrawn. The 36th ballot for Speaker was then taken, as follows: Banks, 105; Richardson, 76; Fuller, 29; Pennington, 1; Zollicoffer, 4; Walker, 1; Car- lile, 1; Wheeler, 1; Oliver, 1; Haven, 1; Wat kins, 1; Allison, 1; and a few scattering votes. Whole number of votes 225. Necessary to a choice 113. No choice. The 37th ballot was then taken, as follows: Banks. 106; Richardson, 76; Fuller, 29; Zot- licoffcr, 4’; Wheeler, 1; Haven, 1; Walker, 1; Smith, of Alabama, 1; Carlile, 1; Harrison, 1: Harlan, 1; Pennington, 1; Orr, 1; Williams, 1; Lister, 1; Powell, I. Whole number of votes, 226. Necessary to a choice, 114. No choice. Abolition—Again. The leaders and presses ofthe anti-American party in this State having with such pertinacity repeated and rctiterated the charge of Aboli tionism against the American party, as to delude great numbers of honest voters—for they all “played on a harp uv a (Aou-sand strings”-—we are determined to do what we can to undeceive them. In order to do this, we publish “line upon Jino and precept upon precept”—in order that, if the voters of Georgia are determined to “believe a lie,” it shall not be for lack of infor mation on the subject. To this end we copy the following explicit declaration from tbe National Era of the 29th nit. As this paper is the recognised national organ of the Black Republicans, Free Soilers and Abolitionists of the Upited States, we pre sume that no man with a thimble full of brains will dare question its right to speak authorita tively for tbe anti-SIavery or Abolition party. Under the head of' No Man Can Serve Two MuiW.—K«» /,<uL** in. t.hp above named issue of that paper—in which the Editor undertakes to demonstrate the absurdity of'tfie idea oFariii- Slavery men acting with tbe American party with a hope of ad vancing their cause—we find the following distinct and emphatic declara tions : “The Know.Notbing Party is as distinct from the Republican in.ita objects and.organization, as from the Administration Pnrty, and just as much opposed to one. as the other. Its para mount objects are, to protract the period of naturalization to twenty-one years, and to ex clude from office foreign born citizens and Catholics. * * * • * “The Know Nothing Party makes this ob ject paramount—It seeks power, for tbe purpose of securing them. It is not an Anti-Slavery Party, does not seek Anti-Slavery objects ; -if* triumph will not be the triumph of Anti Slavery cause. On the contrary, it is as much an an tagonist of tbe Republican Party, as the admin istration is ; wherever it increases, jRepnhlican- ism decreases ; every one . of its triumphs in volves as much the defeat of Republicanism ss Administrationism; no one of its triumphs paves the way for a union of the people against the Slave Power, or weakens the adherents of that Interest ; on the contrary, they all tend to protract and widen the division of the free States. “It follows' that no man can be a Know Noth ing and a Republican, any more than be can be a Democrat and a Whig, or a Pro-Slavery and an Anti-Slavery politician. Neither the terms nor the things are convertible.” Now, we will submit to tbe oandor of ati moderately honest men to say where (aside from tho leaders of the Anti-American Spoils party of Georgia) an individual can be. found out side the walls of a lunatic asylum, so great an-ass, or so utterly lost to all sense of-truth, honor and decency, as to repeat the ent-and- dried, stereotyped LIE. that there is any con nection whatever between Americanism and Abolitionism.—Athens Watchman.

It is a favorite emplyment with the Anti- Amorican newspapers to chnrgo the American Party with proscription, and this tco, in the face of facts which proclaim that party as the most unscrupulously -prescriptive which bas ever existed in the country. They are savage ly intolerant of opposition. They look upon the members of the American Party as ogres, who should be driven without tbe precincts of civilization. To retain, an American in office when they have the power to eject him, is, with them, an unpardonable violation of tho laws of papty fealty. These men who prate in puling strains about proscription for opinion's sake, would not let the sun go down on an American officer iLthey had toe power to dis miss him from it And yet, with shameless effrontery, they make the welkin ring with the wolf-cry of proscription. American citisons, jealous of their liberties, and impelled by a high senso of patriotic duty, cannot assemble and quietly resolve among themselves that they will not support for office men whose circum stances of birth and rearing render it impossi ble that they should understand and appreciate our institetions, without being denounced as traitors and conspirators, men who come as “thieves in the night” to stoal away tbe liber ties of the country.

The elections for the past two years have de monstrated this remarkable fact—that the Am erican party bas exhibited its greatest strength in those very localities where foreigners and Catholics are the most numerous. .It would seem most reasonably that this party would be struck down.’where there was the most opposi tion. Bnt toe reverse has been the ease with scarcely an exception. In Maryland and California, and in all the large oities where .the balk ofthe foreign and Catholie population resides, tho American party .has acheived its most splendid victories—while in the Southern. States, and in rural districts, where there is little admixture of the foreign elements, onr party bas Ready always failed of success. The reason of it is plain, and constitutes one of tbe strongest arguments -for. the' necessity of the organization. Communities which do not feel, and have.notdaily evidence, of, the dan ger arising from fereign Infidence, cannot and do not appreciate it. They see no danger - to themselves, and hence they reject the princi- pies ofa party which undertakes, to correct' an evil of which they are not' personally sensible. Hence the failure of the American party, in secluded districts of the country. On the con trary, in cities where the violence, tho insubor dination, tbe recklessness and the radicalism of the foreign population is daily patent , to tho senses, the American party obtains its greatest triumphs. It is the-presence of an evil which makes men quick to remove -it The -absence of it takes away the stimulus to- exertion, and weakens too efforts of those who would or- rest it. Wo repeat that this is one of tho strongest arguments for the necessity of the party. A man will take medioino only when disease has seized upon his vitals. In the enjoyment of health, ho rejects the medioaments ofthe phy sician, and defers any preparation for the foture. Bnt an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of core—and it may well be considered whether it is not tho part of prudence to guard against the insidious approaches of disease, before its actu al presence warns ns of danger, and threatens our speedy dissolution.—-Afotiono/Americon.
