Mr Dawson moved to reconsider the rejec tion of the substitute offered by himself on yes terday, for the original bill, in relation to the occupancy of the Cherokee Indians; the Sen- ato refused to reconsider. The unfinished business of yesterday was ? hen resumed, to wit: The bill more distinctly to mark out the pe riod of occupancy of the Cherokee Indians on the lands reserved for their use, within the boundaries of Georgia.

Texas.—By an arrival at New Orlcan, pa pers have been received from Matamoras to the 12th Nov. Tiiey contain a proclamation from the Naval and Military Department of Mexico, signed Torncll to the authorities of the State of Taumalipas, calling upon them to arm for the subjugation of the Texians, whom it describes in the blackest colors; and a circu lar of the same character by Guerra Comman der in Chief of Taumalipas, addressed to the citizens and soldiers of that department, as it must we suppose, be now denominated, instead of State. 9 The-New Orleans Bee of Thursday, con tains a report, direct from Texas', via Nacog doches, which if It be true, is of the highest in terest. The information is derived front a traveller recently from San Felipe do Austin. When he left, lie understood the army of Cos to he in destitute condition, hemmed in by the Colonial troops and effectually shut up from all continu ideation with the country. While at Nacogdaclies he learned that Cos and all his forces had surrendered, and that the Texian Deputies had in concequence, returned to the Consultation which had been adjourned by the presence of the enemy. The Bee confidently believes this report, and with some misgivings as to its accuracy, we must be content just now with expressing onr wishes that it may be true.

General Mchia is in arms, and has attacked Tampico; with w-hat success, is not yet known. Several influential officers of the army, former adherents of Santa Anna, have also declared for the Federal Constitution, & in consequence great alarm is said to prevail among the Cen tralists. Zavala, the military commandant of Texas, has addressed to the Mexican govern ment and -people, a spirited defence of Texas. These signs show a growing concert among the opponents of Santa Anna, in Texas ami the rest of the States, and give encouraging prospects of a general and successful resistance to Santa Anna'throughout Mexico, upon the principles avowed by the Texians.—Mobile Reg, Extract from Mr Benton's Dinner Letter. Cincinnati, Nov. 13, 1835. The kind and indulgent terms in which you speak of my public services, cannot be other wise than grateful to me; but the great work in which we have been engaged, and to which you allude, is not yet accomplished, and much remains to be done, both in the State Legisla tures and in the Congress of the United States, before those who oppose “all monopolies," & who advocate “ Constitutional rights of tin American people," should intermit their exer tions or repose from their labors. We have has never been the Agent for the removal of the Creeks. Ho was once an Agent no certify contracts made by the Indians for tho sale of theirlands, which office he resigned last sum mer. He was subsequently interested as a member of a company who have entered into a contract with the Government to remove the Indians. That company is composed of seve ral gentlemen of high standing, who are' all e- qually interested in the operation, and who have undertaken to remove rhe whole of the Creek Indians for less than half the price per capita, which it has heretofore cost the Gov ernment. Gen. Sanford is, or was a member of that company, and equally interested with the other members of it and no more. We un derstand that for sonic causes, (no doubt satis factory to himself,) he has withdrawn from the company; we are authorised to state., however that the causes have not originated with tho company of contractors, but that he has with drawn in consequence of some supposed impo litic and improper steps on the part of Gov ernment itself. The balance of the contractors are going on in the performrnce of their con tracts, and we are happy to learn, with every prospect of success. We have just seen one of the members of the company, who has returned from tho Na tion, and who informs us that a party of Indi ans, consisting of upwards of five hundred, have just left the neighborhood of West Point, for their homes west of the Mississippi, under the guidance of Doct. Ingersoll and Mr Beattie, contractors, and Lieut. Dees of the Army. They expect to be joined by another party beyond the Tallapoosa river, making in all, some six or eight hundred. The contractors inform us that there is now a very gcueral dis position among the Indians to remove, and that there is no doubt but that the whole tribe will go off in the course of next year, and a large number eariy in the Spring. The contractors do not intend to carry on their operations any farther this winter, except so far as to enrol the Indians for an early removal next Spring. The only obstacle which they are likely to meet with, in the speedy emigration of the whole Nation, arises from the action of the Govern ment itself. The sales of the Reservations— the correction of alledged frauds—tie certify ing-of examinations and rectifying of contracts, necessarily create great confusion, both among the Indians and purchasers, and tcrid to pro long the stay of this unfortunate race among tiie Whites, where they are constantly exposed to impositions and injuries. If the Qovcrn- . inent would bring these things to a Close, and let the Indians understand so, they would go off at once, and wo should get rid of a society which has harrassed us not a. little, & is likoly ed with that of last year at this period, we have an increase of near 100,000 bales; and of which excess 40,000 consists of American descrip tions. The trade have taken less so far this year than they did up to this time in the last, by about 50,000 bales, and it appears to be their intention to follow up their plan of merely buy ing for immediate consumption, so that if we have any improvement, it must arise from ac counts of damage to the crops, and that too of a decided nature. “ P. S. The sales today are 2500 bags, in cluding 200 for export, in some instances rath er less has been accepted.” From JfMilledseville. The Central Rail Road bill has been lost in the Senate ! We cannot find words to express our astonishment! The time has arrived, Tor Georgia to swim, or sink. If she refuse now, when sharks are around her, on every side, to put forth her strength, and use her paddles, she is gone ! The crisis has arrived ! The question is now put to her: will Georgia pursue a course of policy that will impoverish her soil, starve her towns, drive industry, enterprise, talent and capital from her borders ; or will she pursue a policy that will attract all these benefits to lier bosom, build up her cities, and towns, and become as she might the most important State in the South ? The present Legislature must answer: on their heads rests the awful respon sibility ! An esteemed correspondent at the seat of go vernment, a member of the Senate, writes us as follows: ^ “ Milledgcvillc, Dec. 6, 1835. “ Since my last, the groat battle has been fought; and, with feelings of the deepest, humil ity do I announce the fact, that the friends of Internal Improvement have been vanquished ! not in manly combat, but by a system of politi cal legerdemain, revolting alike to the feelings of the enlightened statesman and devoted pat riot. No Georgian can envy, that man or par ty of men who boast of such a triumph ! I fear that our beloved Georgia is destined long to move In the wake of her sifter States, and while her legislators under the dominion of local, sec tional and party principles lose sight of her great interests, her neighbors on the east and on the west by a wise and judicious policy will drain her of all her resources ; and. we shall be made emphatically hewers of wood and drawers oi water. The scheme of the Central Rail Road is a grand enterprise, and if accomplished, like ba]. .

Depend on it, we have a c 1 U ' majority on joint ballot, and all test questio^ will prove it. Noses have been counted and are as follows : Van Buren men 58 • lL; White men 34; Nullies 22.” ’ 011 The election for State Printer has resulted in the choice of Meek & McGuire, the able a f efficient editors of the Flag of the Union the organ of the Van Buren party in Tuscaloosa, nority, on the same | ted to sanction keep them in the minority, however beneficial it might be to the country. Hence the pros pect of uniting all parties sufficiently to carry so important an alteration of the constitution, is exceedingly remote. There is a plan, however, it strikes us, by which the constitution might be amended with out a Convention ; and we here take the lib erty of suggesting it to the present Legislature. It is : to leave the details of the bill to a sub sequent Legislature to that which alters the constitution. Our views are briefly these : The Senate to consist of uot less than 32, nor more than 40 members. The -House of Representatives to consist of not less than 100 nor over 120 members. ‘ The NEXT legislature AFTER the pas sage of the act, shall proceed to apportion the Senators and Representatives among the seve ral counties of the State ; which apportion ment shall so remain, until altered by law. It is not necessary that the constitution should go into all the detjiils of legislation. As well might it enumerate the duties of every petty corporation, or the metes and bounds of coun ties and captains’ districts, as the apportion ment of Senators and Represcntatiues. It is the great principles, only, that require to be fixed by the constitution. By taking the details of the apportionment out of the hands of those who make the reduc tion, and leaving them' to a subsequent legisla ture, it appears to us, that many of the difficul ties, the fears, the jealousies, that have here tofore been brought to this subject may be kept away from it; and that a Reduction may yet be made—which we look upon as a matter of more importance to the welfare and prosperity of the State, than the completion of any or all the Rail Roads ever yet proposed in it—and we are no enemy to Rail Roads.

The Jamaica Chronicle says, no vessel scarce ly arrives without a fresh importation of pn^. chers, psalm books and bibles, and yet even day the negroes are becoming more licentious and corrupt. Singing psalms at the chapels is made an excuse and cloak by the apprentices for laziness. They do not many of them work over two hours a day. The streets of Kings ton, once famed for their orderly quiet, are now nightly the scenes of drunken debauchery negro drumming and dancing—much of it un der the mask of preaching and singing at the evening conventicle. “Jamaica” says the ed itor, “soon promises to become as pestiferous a sink of vice and corruption as the roost lib- ertine enthusiast can desire.” CONGRESS Assembled on Monday last.

The plot thickens. Anxiety is alive to know the upshot. Another week will probably re move or confirm our fears on the subject. We learn from a good authority, (says the Boston Mercantile Journal,) that a letter has been lately received by a gentleman in New York, from Gen. Bernard at Parig, stating that in his opinion a war with France is inevitable. The king and his ministers had taken umbrage at some sen timents expressed by Mr Livings ton in his speech at the public dinner given him in New York; and Louis Philippe had also changed his views with regard to the policy of a war with a foreign power. He thought that such an event might strengthen his govern ment. The N Y Daily Adv. says : “ There is con siderable stir from the fact that extensive spec ulations in French goods have been made. The holders now require higher rates. Whether these operations are fouuded on any knowledge of the contents of the Message, or the views of the Executive in relation to France, is at pres ent conjecture. Tw o years ago extensive sales of U. S. Bank stock were made three days be fore the Message was received. • The knowing ones then made no mistake ; stock fell nearly 20 per cent, in consequencc^of the severe at tack made by the President upon that institu tion.” Tiie N.

The packet which carried these orders had not arrived at.our last ANTI ABOLITION MEETING. Henry County, Nov. 21,1835. According to previous notice a Meeting was held by a respectable number of citizens of Henry county at the house of Jesse Johnson Esqr in the 723d district G M to take intocon- sideration the subject of the recent proceed ings of the Northern Abolitionists, when Rev Wm Mosely was called to the chair, and Jas II Starr appointed Secret ary. After a brief statement of the object of the meeting by the chairman, it was agreed ca motion, that the chair appoint a committee of seven, to draft a preamble and resolutions, when the following persons were appointed said committee : John M Ponder, JesseJolm- son, Charles Jordan, Aaron Turner, David C Eidson, Esqrs. Capt A Devick and Dr James II Starr. The committee after being absent a short time reported a preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted: •The citizens of Henry county, and especi ally those in the 723d district, view with deep concern the course pursued by an association of men in the non-slaveholding states known as abolitionists; and we consider it our right and duty to adopt such measures as in our o- pinion w ill most successfully ward off its evd effects. Nor do we believe they arc led to the course they are pursuing through any philan thropic motives, humane or religious : but that their object is to effect an immediate emanci pation of the slaves in die Southern Staid with all its attendant horrors; and if they are permitted to proceed in their unprincipled and njfarious designs, our peace, happiness sad safety will be endangered. We believe tiieir acts to be in violation of the letter and spirit of the constitution ot the United States, and i; persisted in, will be more likely to disturb ti» peace of our common country than any tiling : which has hitherto threatened its repose. We earnestly’ desire, that the States iuwhich j Abolition societies are formed, and inccndiaiy publications issued from the press, will use the* exertions to arrest the progress of tills alarming evil, and thus prevent the effusion of human blood. Our object in asking this, is, for our own safety and tho perpetuation of a good un derstanding with our brethren of other States; and we can but hope that the publication and circulation of incendiary papers will be discoun tenanced and suppressed, both by r the contm- iiii - '^.i j - -.i- " ! time—only two agents are employed to certify t efforts—a more eloquent and patriotic appeal pie s labor.
