(KNATW. A, The General Appropriation Kill which passed tbs House a day or two ago, was taken up end the greater portion of the morning consumed iu amending it and discussing it* provisions. Mr. Moore „f Lincoln moved to reduce the daily oom|ioasatiou of the onrotliug and engrossiug clerk* from six to five dollar*. Thereupon a gene ral discussion of the subject of clerks, their com pensation and their number followed, and the ex travagance which haa heretofore prevailed in that branch of the public service was very freely com mented on. It was acknowledged by all, that tlio present Secretary bad employed no more clerks than were necessary, mid Mr. Moore of Lineoiu was the only olio who seemed inclined to reduce their compensation. Messrs. McMillan, Cone of Greene, l.itmlruiu, Peeples, l'«pe, Allrod and Long opposed the motion, and the Senate refused to agree to IL The llill passed and was sent to tlio House for its concurrence iu the Senate's amend ment*. The Senate then took up the Hill to amend the act of 1853, iu relation to the Trustees of Glynn County Academy. The old Board of Trustees are required to turn over the pro|ierty and funds to the new Hoard, and the latter are required to use tlio funds fur the purpose of educating the pour children throughout the county. Quite a lengthy and (no doubt to the parties) interesting debut# ensued, in which Messrs. Long and Miller spoke in favor of the Hill .and Messrs. Spalding and Hillups against it; at the end of which the Hill passed. There was u<.thing else of general interest douo ‘•a the Senate during the day. BOISE or RKI'RBRESTATIVEB. BILLS INTRODt’l r.n.

The New OrlemT' Ih 'in says she is “an actress of rare mid *iugi£' powers,” while another edtemporary of the saw city represents her as "one of die very best m tii on the stage, on cither side of the Atlantic.” 4 Tho play selected for her first appearance iu ; ouu»ii Is full of turriMo interest, ami well cal lated to test her powers as an actress. Let us f her a generous welcome aud a fair trial. ^ Tiie Georgia Dr.Rorn.iTir 1'latimiim in Wash- I ixoio.x.—A despatch from Washington, dated 1.3th, says that a can-is* of the Democratic members of tho Senate had been held that day, in which Sena tor Iverson of this State introduced, as the uhima- turn of the South, the resolutions passed by the late Democratic meeting at Millcdgcville. We judge they proved a bomb thrown into the camp, as the d ‘patch informs us that a very warm discussion followed their presentation. The meeting refused to take any decided action on them, and referred them to a committee, consisting of Messrs. Iversou, I Cus, of Michigan. Bayard, of Delaware, and Kmk, of Texas, with instructions to report at a future day. The Speakership. Tho country is getting somewhat restless under the interruption of the business of the nation bv tho failure to elect a Speaker for the House <>f Re presentatives. Rather tbau see a frcc-soil disor- I gauiser in the chair, we confess wo hail rather sec no organisation ni all. Hut is the election of a ■Speaker a necessary preliminary to the commrnce- ment of the business of Congress, It has not al ways been so regarde 1. A case in point occurred in 1839, when Mr. Garland, the Clerk, refused to accept the credentials of the members from New Jersey when they were presented with the liroad seal of the State attached. Wrangling and confu sion reigned for a immbcr of days ; and the House was finally organised on n motion that Mr. Adams of Massachusetts I*.' considered Speaker until a re gular election could be had. TUr ltestou Couri.r gives the following account of the matter. •• John Quincy Adams was then a member of the House of llcprescutu lives. lie remained ipiietly I at iiis seat, and listened to the (lending turmoil with what patience be could, and said nothing. At last, however, the patience of the old man whs ex hausted, and, rising hastily from his chair, he poured forth a strain "f burning, withering elo quence, which reached every man's heart. He ap pealed to the representatives present to say if they were prepared to submit to such a state of things ? if ihey were willing to submit to the dictation and control of a mere Olerk—a daily stipendiary of Con gress » •• The old man had scarcely taken his seat before Ibdiert Barnwell Rl.ctt of South Carolina, aro.e. and moved that ‘ John Quincy Adams of Ma>-ii- ehusetts, lie elected Speaker till a regular Speaker is elected." This motion was nearly iinaniniou-ly adopted, and the H-'U-e of that day was organ!- xed. and we may hope that some similar movement may be made to-day." Mortality or the United States.—From the tie rtality records, says the New York Herald, we learn that the total deaths during the twelve months previous to 1st June, lV,o, numb,-red 323,fi23, of whom 2ffi,601 were white-. This i* in round figures, nearly one and four-tcn:h* per cent on the total population, tho lowest mortality, we venture to say, tbnt has ever l>cen recorded in any settled and civilised country. Foreign countries compare a* follows :— ■I. It pro- eapital of $1,000,009, to whom the Rond is to be leased for a term of twenty years. Paid I'ompany is to pay $300,000 per annum for it. and every six month* is to pay in advance for tliusueeendiiig half year. The Road is to bo returned to the Ftate in as good eon- ■lition as when delivered to the company, and the tcveral Roads connecting with it tire protected by tlio provisions of tbe bill from unjust discrimina tions against them.

Messrs Ward and B’avne opposed the Mil. and it was ably advocated by Messrs Phillips, Lawton, Thornton, Jones of Muscogee and Crook. On motion of Mr. llnyuie, the bill was amended so as to require the Governor to take bonds from the contractors for the building, for the completion of the same according to the (dan of the commis sioners, and forbidding the payment of any monies out of the appropriation, until said bonds slial have liven executed. .So amended, the bill passed by yeas 80—nays 30. The bill appropriates $ 110,- 000, to be expended in two yew*. Nothing else of importance was done and the House adjourned. C 3 **. Mtl.I.EHoEVILI.E, Dee. I5tll. P. M.

Crrtral &. K. A B'g. Co., ov Groruia. 1 Savannah, Doe. 15, 1856. j Editor* .XViiuiiiniA llrpublitan :— 1 have read in your Issue of this morning, tho proeoudiugs of a meeting of citizens residing in the vicinity of No. 8 Central Road. Tho resolution* passed at that meeting are in a spirit of bitteruos* —oiinugh of itself to condemn the proceedings, I pass by the sweeping denunciation of tlio whole— President, Directors and officers of tlio Company,— because •* they burr proved them*elv*e eitherfrom « wo at of liMntj or eujmcity, to utterly reynrdltt* of udminitteriuy (As affair* of the Huilroml.o* detiyn. td, tit: fort hr good of the -fork-holder* on d the pub- Ur," with tho singlo remark for tho present, that tho Prosidout aud Directors, who aro •• tho ndmiu- iatrntion," aro content to bojudgod by tho oxltibits of their maungomout which they have, annually, mado public. But tho authors of tho resolutions, pa.-sod unoniMoiiWy, havo mado public representa tions which nrc unfair and erroneous, uiid thus im posed on me tlio duty of replying publicly to their action. The roply shall he as brief as possible. Their first statement is—that the fare now charg ed for passage is almost prohibitory—that their families are well nigh excluded. Prior to 1st August, 1844, tho faro for passage was 4 eeuts or over per mile, on all the Roads ill o|>oratioii. At that tiiuothis company redueod tho furo to 3 cents, anil tho other roads very soon cauto down to the same figure. AH tlio other roads, a year or more ago, established their rates, some at 4 cents, sotuo at 5 ccuts, and some between 3 and 4 rents. This Company fairly tried 3 cents per rnilo awhile longer. Ou tbo 1st day of April last, tho furo of travel was placed at 4 cent* |>er mile—on the way—for while persona, and 2 eeuts per mile for colored persons—an increase of 25 per centum ou fare of whites, and a dtcreute of one fifth on faro of colored persons. The whole sum roooived for passage ou tho Ceutral Railroad for tho year ending 1st December, 1854, was $174,000. This was earned by two daily truins and one daily ex tra lietwcen Milieu and Savannah. Tlio sum is about one *\xth of the whole earnings of the year.— Thu sum received from passengers is wholly inad equate to tho expense incurred to carry them. If the stock-holders depended on passage money for their profits they would liecome bankrupt. It was the duly of the President and Director* to make, if possible, tho f:fre* of travel pay something like a fair return for the great expense incurred in run ning our passenger lines. The price of 3 rents per mile, chiefly advocated by tho writer, was found to ho inadequate, mol hence ho was among tlio firsj to advocate the change to I cents. Under the .3 ceut system the road earning* went from (1812-’I3) 11,107 '54.1 ltd w ho have attached to t.Voinlry Animal Mortality, England 2.2 United Elutes I.t | Rachel in Charleston.—Tho fir famed tra- gededienno is advertised to appear in < It arise ton to night The Courier of Friday last nntieipnte an Overflowing house, and says 'it is even now difficult to secure what is termed a good place in tho boxes, and the other parts of the house Inrvo already numerous tenants, nil anxious to pay their tribute of admiration to the acknowledged Qucsn of Tra gedy.” _ The Aret Kstirates.—The estimatedexpcndl- ture of the U. 8. War Department for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1857, are *■ follows; Army proper, •12,123.248; West Point, $173,894; forti fications, ordnance, Ac., $2,730,349. Total, $15,- 027,480. Prescott's Works.—His stated that twenty- t«o thousand five hundred volume# of Prescott’s works hare been published. This includes fourteen thousand volumes of his Philip tbe .Second. the si By Mr. Atkinson, to provide for taking the cen sus of Camden, Glynn and Charlton counties. It appear.- that no returns were made from those counties at the la.-t census, and the hill provides that John Sheffield of Camden, ll .raec Harris of Glynn, aud Robert Paxton shall take the census of 1 their respective counties. The hill front the ILiuse explaining the act of j 1823 and declaring that persons who have once 1 taken "prison hounds," arc alsoentillcd to the bene- i fils of that act for the relief of honest deffors, was j taken up aud on motion of Mr. Miller so amended as to extend it* provisions to those who have given hail. The hill then passed. The Senate then took up tho General Appropria- j lion hill from the House. Several hours were con sumed ill amending it, and the Senate then ad joumed’to 1" o’clock to-morrow morning. llorsK or HKPIIKSK'IATIVE*. ntl.I.S INRItom I I'll. Ry Mr. Ward, to odd an additional elausoto the Ifith section of the 1*t article of the Constitution. It limits tho appropriation of money or tlio exten sion of the credit of tlio State hy the General As-' setnbly to the sum of $100,000 ovor and above tbe ordinary expenses of tbe Government, unless tbe same 'Mill have been submitted to and approved hy a majority of tho citizens "f tho Up to (1853 ... Total Karniugs $1,009,000. of which, ax shown abovo, tho passage mon ey did not exceed a sixth. Was it nut time to soo if 111" passago money could ho in- •wre.T-cd ’ It tho furo of 4 cent* per mile “almost prohibitory?” Are the families of the gentleman ,.f Scrivcu indeed " well-nigh excluded?" Were it rue that the fares aro “ almost prohibitory," tho ■turnings from passengers, would have fallen off to •almost” nothing. Tho increase in passage iioiicv for the years 1854-5 ha* been nine thousand lollnr*—total passage money of Contra! Railroad $182,000—on total earnings of over a million and ■x quarter. The least acquaintance vvitlt railroad management would satisfy any reasonable man that the passage receipts of this Road are entirely inadequate, even now, to the great expense of maintaining the passenger line*. It is a common remark that if you lower tho rate of passage on n Railroad you increase tho number of passengers mid thereby the reeeipt*. It is true that the num ber of passengers may be increased, but it is un error to say that, consequently, your profits will increase, lit the New England States, with a den.-e population and where passago was the chief business, they have tried and abandoned the idea of very low fares. Some roads in the Union have been, by ehnrler, restricted—one great road to 2 cents (>cr mile! It remains to bo seen when that great road will pay any thing to the stockholders. Is the first resolution of the meeting in Scrivou fairly answered ? Let the stockholders and the public to whom an appeal has been made—bo the Judges. • 2. The second charge ia deemed worthy of en tire repetition, with a few words in capitals. Here J. ilio,'.tty policy, amounting in thousands of in IniH'C* to meanness; of charging freight on all '.rlieles, however small or insignificant, which can po.-ihly lie excluded from the class of /.«,/,/«<,r, •trietlv -o speaking, lull WHICH l’ASSK.NGKRiS OF3 li.N I.IKi; TO TAKE WITH THEM, is an noying, and tends to increase tho already exorbi tant expense in passing over the Rond. The baggage, proper, of passenger# on tho Cen tral Road has not licen restricted. If n limn travels with a trunk, no nmth r (a* happened in one instance from the neighborhood of No. fi.) if it contain dressed chicken* for market, lie passes with out a word. 8o if a person travels with an ordi nary trunk orMirpct bag, or valise, if lie puts iu it th"-e "insignificant little thing* which passenger* often like to take with them" lie also, passes with out a word. But if a passenger seek* to carry hundlca ofpurehnted good*, no matter how small, in the face of the rule published from the beginning of t!m road, that every single package, must pay ni least 25 cents, (which has happened iu •'thoutnud of instances",) wo have never *nid thnt it was petty •‘meanness,” hut have simply made the passenger pay freight Why should the company carry mer chandise as Imggagc for nothing? The company ‘•likes, to treat *t«rc goods as store goods and not as baggage. It think* it just and right to do so. 3. The third charge is that the price* for trans porting timber arc of a prohibitory character, and that tho transportation is accompanied liy vexa tious delay. With a view to accommodate tho lumber pro ducers, the company established the following plan : To- Freighter of l.iuuliei. Timber, Wood, .'laves . r sheep without ever ruititoj the question ot their lia bility, uxeteising due care, to pay lor the union* - Up to a liltlu over a year ago it paid also for hor- so# and mules, killed by the trains. Tbe payments uuiiually for slock killed i» about $4000. A regular return of stock killed is made by every stutiou over suer with an npprnisctuout of full market value in his judgment. Tl,u Company never, in a single instance, refused to puy for cattle, hogs,and shoup. It has, in some instances, disputed lliu price cliur- C l by tlio owner. Until the last session of the gisiaturu all.,wing tlio Cuuipauy to bo sued iu every county, touched by the road, there never was a suit against the Company lor a cow, or a hog, or a sheep that 1 can recollect of. Siyeu that law, in several instam-cs, without a word to the Company, suit Inis been instituted for cattle and bog* kill 'd — in otto instance fur a pig, of the value of otto dollar, and the Company in every instance has paid tile claim, with cost* maliciously put ou u Company willing to pay. Only iu one couuty on the line of Road have sm h suits been instituted. Never did a oituun of 81-rivcn sue the Company for killing a cow or u lo.g s|, L .„p. One suit uuly has been instituted in Scrivcu (now pending) ter killing* hurt,. One suit j, pending iu Chatham ter a cow, because of the price demanded, and the utloruey of tho company rvi-eivad instructions not to raise any other question thint that of value. 1 have a righ to demand of the citizens of Serivrn to produce or show 11 single suit hy a citizen of Scrivou agaiust the Company for a cow, or a hog or sheep.

If that tribunal shall say the company is liable for killing Hors-* or Mules where duo caution is oh- served, I will see that every Horse or Mule killed is paid for without a “ quibble.” 1 ask of tho gentlemen of tlio meeting, tlio proof of any petty or other quibble ever raised or put forth at tills company’* instance to n void a just claim. I have answered all tho charges of the citizens of Scrivcn. Tlicv have been severe aud hitter upon mo. I have a’word to say to them, but it shall bo said without temper. They say the management of the Road is getting to lie such, that it might a* well not exist, so far as they aro concerned. I beg leave to tell them, with due respeef, that, while I shall ever deal a* justly toward* my fellow citizens of Seriven, ns I would towards the people of my own county, a* far a* in me lies. I feel that the I'entralRail Road was not designed by its projector*, especially for their ben efit. Tlicv' themselves say tho Road was designed " for the gi o.| of the .Stockholders, and of tlio pub. lie.” They call on those Stockholders and tlio citizens of’Savannah, to relieve themselves and the people of Seriv en. from the administration oftho.-o who have proved themselves, either from a want of honesty or capacity, utterly regardless of their trust. ' This is strong language and needs to bo answered for. 'The Stockholder* will convene ou Tuesday next. The head of the "administration” which has been iho same from the year 1842 to lira present time, will be there ill person, and, albeit, it may be somewhat humiliating to answer charges ngaiii-t hi-li-tie'iy of purpose or his capacity to m:uiii-'c the affairs "f the Kail Road Cmuyaiiy, vvln.'c Stucklc.ider* havo always treated him so kindly and nobly, ns to insure his everlastiug gratitude, lie will be |>rcpared to meet the citizen* of Scrivcn. one or all of them, who unanimously passed the e lv-..lutioIis. Vito right, .f any one who feels hint self aggrieved by (he policy of the Company to resist "to the lout te-fol wiVciMiiy." will never bo questioned liy tuc. The people ofthi* city expended near four millions of dollars to establish the Central Rond upon tlio faith of the charter, which provides " That the said railroad mid the nppcrtiiiiniicc.s of the same shall not lie subjected to be taxed higher than a half of one per centrum upon it* net annual in come." If the " last legal extremity" mean* a county tax on tho Road “ so far at least as tlio county of Seriven is concerned." it lias very little Respectfully R. R. ' -Hent.

Doisrrt'L. - Tbe following curious piece of In formation it from a Berlin letter in the J,ondon Time*: "The Government of the United .State* of Amer ica has lately given considerable orders to a Rhe nish house, for de|iv#yy next spring, of bullet-proof steel cuiraseee I” The Chevalier Haliemann hu* lieen nominated by the Austrian government a* resident Minister at Washington.

It has now on the rnml n freight locomotive engine of first class, running cimstnntly with timber. Thu machine, with twelve cars, an engine- man, two fireman and a conductor, is furnishsd to parties applying in turn ut $75.00 per day of 10 working hours, or th" 12 ears without theengine nt 25 dollars a day. Timlier at this rate, i* the arti cle at lowest rote of tritnsportrtion. Large quanti ties of timber are enrried, at this season, nt a loss to tlio conipnuy. 8«mo months ago, before thq heavy liusitnsi of the season began, a special mes sage was sent along the line, that the company de- sirod to carry off nil the timber on the road. The producer* would not send it down then, and com plain now at tiie least delay. It is not the wish of the company to prohibit tbe trade in timber—this Port benefit* by Iho trade, though tho company makes no profit by it. The fourth charge is, thnt no refuse to carrytheir wood, when by the carringo thereof many leu* of thousand* of dollars might lie saved to Iho inhabi tant* of Savannah, and a largo revenue to the stockholder# Iw made. The same arrangement is made for wood, that is made for timlier, and the same remarks apply. Tlia company actually enrrie* considerable quantities of wood: but wood carried at this period of the year, would decrease the revenue of ihe company. Hlill tho company carries wood whenever it can do 6. The fifth charge is, e rcfusalto pay for stock killed, unless, in many instauce*, compelled by lutr, nnd then that Ihe e.nnpaiiy avail themselves of I legal quibbles to get clear. "Murk how a plain sale” will put this charge down. Tim Company ha. always |>aid ter cattle,Logs,and 1 the legitimacy of the children it. performed. The Hcv. S. S.

Daniel Webster's Marriage.—Tho manner of Daniel Webster's engagement to Miss Fletcher, is tints pleasantly discovered by n-letter writer: •• He wa. then a young lawyer iu Portsmouth, N. II. At one of his visits to Miss Grace Fled her ho hnd, probably with a view of utility nnd enjoy, ment, been holding skeins of silk thread for her, when suddenly Iu* stooped, saying, ' Grace, we have thus been engaged iu untying knots; let us see if wo can tic a knot, one i»f which will not un tie for a life-time,’ He then took n (deco of tape, and. alter beginning a knot of n peculiar kind, gave it to her t» complete. This was the ccrcnto. liy nnd ratification of their engagement.
