The River and the Ilridee.
Home of our sea-hoard friends have been quite i
annoyed at the reports circulated about the “great j
freshet in the Savannah River, ” Ac. That report j
was given currency to by a statement in the Sa
vannah Journal, which was doubtless imposed
upon the editor. We take great pleasure in sta- >
ting, that while we have a very full river, it lias not !
come up to our standard of a freshet, by some six j
or eight feet. Two weeks ago it was within !
about three feet of its present height, and we then !
reported that the liver was trying to “ spread it
self.”
The two bridges across the river are in their
right places, and we hope will continue in statu
quo.
I*. S. — 12 o’clock at night—river about twenty
seven feet high, and very gradually rising.

We invite special attention to the letter from
Major J. Buford. It will he seen that the Major
is in earnest in his efforts, and we cordially wish
that lie may succeed. It is the cau-ie of the South,
and should meet the zealous co-operation of all her
sons.

The legislature of New York.
There seems to he considerable trouble iu the or
ganization of the New York Legislature. There
atv four parties, and each has met in caucus aud
made nominations for officers. The “ Soft Shells”
adopted, with slight verbal alterations, the resolu
tion of the National Democracy in Washington,
and proposed, through a committee, a union on
principle with the “ Hard Shells. ’’ The union was
sternly refused on that occasion by the latter party.
We see it stated that the Softs passed resolutions
repudiating the Nebraska act, and that that was
the cause of the disagreement of the Whigs. At
fairs appear to begetting in quite a tangled condi
tion.
From Porto Rico.— Advices from Porto Rico to
the 24th ult., mention the gradual spread of chole
ra in Nuguato. In some eight or ten neighboring
villages six hundred cases aud two hundred and
eighty deaths have been reported. The disease
had not made its appearance in the city of St.
Johns.
A great ado is making in the Episcopal Church
in New York, in consequence of certain Pusevite
practices in two of the up-town edifices of that de
nomination. The allegations, in brief are, that in
the Church of the Holy Innocents, an Episcopal
service was held at 6o’clock on Christmas morn
ing, in imitation of the early muss of the Roman
ists ; also, that candles were burnt, etc. A similar
charge is made against the Church of this Holy
Communion.

The Maine Law Approved by the Queen ok
Mvglaxd. —A copy of an order in council, dated at
the Court of Windsor Castle, November 21st, 15.55,
has been received at the office of the Prohibit#n/ust
in Albany, New York. In it her Majesty gives her
official sanction to the prohibitory liquor law of
\ 3 Province of New Brunswick, and directs the
Governor or Commander-in-chief, and all other
persons whom it may concern, to be governed
thereby accordingly. The law takes effect on the
Ist of January next.

The October number of the Westminster h'et'ieic
contain- an article, starting with the proposition
that drunkenne** c.nuiot be cured by legislation, Tt.
is written ami published in view of verv persistent
efforts in England to obtain the enactment of a
Maine law by Parliament. It traverses the whole
field of discussion of the questions of prohibition
and regulation of the liquor traffic. ,\n extract or
two may not prove uninteresting:
•‘The world would be a very different world if
great evils were so easily cured', and if ten lines in
a statute book could crush vice and make virtue
triumphant. Experience tells a different tale. It
tells us that a law is in itself powerless, and that
it is only strong when it is the outward and formal
expression of what men really wish. Even if a
law, such as the Maine liquor law, were obeved,
which it might be for a time among an order!\ and
law loving people, there would be no escaping, in
one shape nr the other, the penalty of so gross an
infringement of the true principles of State gov
ernment. It would be an evil worse than that of
drunkenness if a nation learnt to lean on the rot
ten zeal of eternal enactments, and thus sapped
the foundations of right and destroyed the springs
of all moral action.”
Again, iu regard to personal rights—the denial
to men of their freedom of choice who live under
the rule of laws which recognize the great fact of
personal liberty, the writer remarks:
•• To deny the use of intoxicating liquors alto
gether, to withhold by law the means of indulging
because indulgence is often carried to a vicious ex
cess, is, in fact, an attempt, its a very signal in
stance and on a very wide scale, to increase the
sphere of the State government and to deaden the
sense of individual responsibility. It would be
impossible to furnish a more conspicuous example
ot that mode of viewing man and morals which
make wrong and right the subject of State police
and not of individual conviction.
“A subtle poison taints the moral atmosphere
in which such a law is upheld. The mind of man
becomes narrow and crippled when he is no longer
his own master; his actions are meaningless when
stripped of the beauty of choice ; his svmnathv
for others grows dead when he has no longer to
assist them in encountering moral trials and to
gain and give the strength of mutual counsel.
Prohibition advocates are fond . t prophesving that
as men cease to drink they will go to church.
“ What will they find when they get there * Is
the faith of the churches of Christendom s.. warm,
their words so full of meaning, their appeal to The
conscience so direct that they can afford to be guid
ed by a law which, as far as one law can, deadens re
sponsibility and obliterates the distinction between
good and evil ? The text will be the keenest sa
tire on the sermon. The text will say, ‘ I'se vour
freedom as those who stand or fall to their Mus
ter the preacher will say, ‘My Christian breth
ren, abstain altogether, for there is a penalty of
five dollars for the tir-u offence and ten for the' se- ;
cond.

Tribute of Respttct.
Savannah, January 2, 1856.
Pursuant to notice, the members of the Savan
nah Bar, assembled in the Superior Court room to
take some measures to express their sentiments re
lative to the decease of the Hon. John M. Berrien.
On motion, Hon. William B. Fleming, was called
to the Chair, and Mr. Hartridge appointed Secre
tary.
Judge Law then arose and said:
“ Mr. Chairman : There are deeply solemn events
which come to us all in progress of life, none of
which are more impressive than the breeches occa
sioned by death in the various relations by which
the living are associated.
If the sorrow occasioned hv the disruption of do
mestic and family ties is keen ami pungent, it is
honorable to our nature to realize that eminent
virtue, distinguished talents, and public usefulness
inspires a grief scarcely less sacred, when their
loss is felt in many of the less intimate relations of
our short and transient life.
We rise up in the morning of existence full of
hope ; we expand at meridian—we scatter around
us our influence; at evening we retire, and our
places are filled by our successors. Such is human
life. But the example of our lives, the influence of
our actions, the impress of our usefulness, survive
In none of the relations of life are the realities
of these reflections more sensibly felt than in the
proud profession, by the members of which 1 am
at this moment surrounded. It is here that virtue
is reverenced, talents admired, purity of life ap
preciated, ami social qualities estimated. Ours is
a profession that can only properly exist and he
enjoyed amidst these influences.
The melancholy occasion which lias assembled
us at this time, is already known to all. John Mac
pherson Berrien is no more. He who was om
phaticullv the Father of this Bar, has been removed
from our midst. He was its father in seniority, fur
he was a member of it for more than half a centu
ry ; its leader, in the extent of his professional at
tainments, his varied talents and accomplishments
in the bright example of his pure, honorable, and
upright life, and in the estimable qualities which
adorned his career as a man and a lawyer. We
who have so often listened to the cogency of his
vigorous reasoning, to the richness of his chastened
eloquence, and witnessed his untiring industry, his
penetrating research, and diversified professional
attainments, we, I say, can justly appreciate the
loss which this Bar sustains in the death of such a
man.
But Judge Berrien’s distinction and usefulness
was not limited bv his professional excellencies.
If he illustrated the virtues of his profession bv
the extent of his talents and the purity of his life,
he was no less eminent as a statesman in the coun
cils of the nation, and distinguished for his patri
otism and public spirit as a citizen. And, while
the members of this Bar feel with deep sensibility
the loss which the Profession lias sustained by his
death, a response will assuredly be heard in' the
sympathetic grief of this State and the Nation, for
the loss which the country will feel in the death
of this distinguished Statesman and venerated
citizen.
I move you, sir, that a committee be appointed
to draft suitable resolutions, expressive of the sense
and feelings of this Bar upon this melancholy
event.”
The Chair appointed as members of this commit
tee, Judge Law, Hon. Charles 8. Henry, Hon. Ed
ward J. Harden, Hon. John K. Ward,' and E. H.
Bacon, Esq., who retired, and on their return, re
ported the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted :
The members of the Bar, desirous of giving
public expression to their feelings, and the sense
they entertain of the loss which the Bar lias sus
tained by the death of its oldest and most distin
guished member, who, for more than half a centu
ry has illustrated the virtue; of the profession,
adorned it by the exhibition of rare and eminent
talents, and left an example of spotless purity and
integrity of life; and also to manifest the affec
tionate esteem in which they hold the memory of
their venerated departed brother as a citizen emi
nent for his patriotism and public services, as a
statesman distinguished for talents and integrity,
and as a man endeared to their affections as well
by his private as public virtues, by the social quali
ties of the heart as well as by vigor of his intel
lect, do adopt, the following resolutions :
1. Resolred , That the members of the bar here
assembled have heard with deep regret of the
death of the Honorable John M. Berrien, and that
we sincerely condole with the members of his
family on the occasion of the loss which tliev, in
common with the community, have sustained.
2. Rewired, As a testimony of respect for the
memory of the deceased, the Bar will, in a bodv,
attend his funeral.
3. Resolved, Asa further testimy of such res
pect, that his Honor the Judge of the Superior
Court of this county, be requested to have the
Staves of the Court draped in mourning, and that
the Bar wear the usual badge of mourning for
thirty days.
4. Rewired, That the proceedings of this meet
ing he laid before the Supreme Court of Georgia,
at its next meeting at tins place, with a request
that that body enter these proceedings on their
minutes, and adjourn for one day as a token of re
spect for the memory of the deceased, and that the
same proceedings lie laid before the Superior Court
of this county, at its next session, with a similar
request of entry on its minutes, and of adjourn
ment for one week.
5. Res,dr </, That a committee of live be appoint
ed by the Chairman of this meeting to carry the
foregoing resolutions into effect, and also to select
some suitable person to pronounce, at some proper j
time and place, a eulogy on the life and character
of the deceased, before the Bar of Georgia.
6. Rt'lved, That these proceedings bo published
in the several papers of this city, and that a copy
of the same be furnished by the Secretary to the !
family of the deceased.

The Arctic Ship Resolute.
1 here are many opinions expressed as to the
Arctic Ship Resolute, which Captain Buddington
has succeeded in bringing safely into port. It
would, under all the circumstances of the united
search for Sir John f ranklin, he an appropriate
.We Yotr's Pcs.,,' for our Government to make
to that of Great Britain, first making to Captain
Buddington and his men a good round compensa
tion tor the noble prize so handsomely and so de
servedly won.
Our Government are in debt to Sir John Frank
lin. In 1803, the .Tovrnalof (Jammer copied from
the National Intelligence, au account of the services
rendered our country in 1534 by Sir John Franklin,
while in command of a British' ship of war in the
Mediterranean, on the occasion of Mr. Bird, Amer
ican Missionary in Syria, being ill-treated bv the
Syrian Government, and for which our Consul at
Beyrout was unable to obtain satisfaction, until
Sir John, having heard of the matter, sailed for
Beyrout, brought his ship into port, saluted the
flag of our Consul, and then went on shore and ac
companied him to the Palace, and demanded im
mediate satisfaction—which was promptly given.
He then returned on board his ship, sent for the
British Consul, saluted his flag, and left the port—
an art « orthv of the brave Arctic navigator, and
worthy of national acknowledgment.

Front Correspondence of the National Intelligencer. 1
London Dec. 13, 1855. —1 fwe cast our eyes be- j
yond “ the broad Atlantic,” we see nothing there i
which weakens our hopes of the future; for we I
are certain that no real materialorcau.se of unkind j
feeling, much less of war, exists or can exist be- !
tween England and the United States, if the re- j
spective people retain the common sense attribu- I
tod to; them, or their Governments the common i
honesty and integrity of which we are willing to !
believe they will not divest themselves. We were
during last week a witness to and partaker of a so- i
c-ial and friendly meeting held at a small borough
town on the Northeast coast of England, which, al- j
though a comparatively trifling local affair, renre- !
Rented, we are willing to believe, the general feel- '
ing of the people of Englan towards the United
States and the fraternal regard which they enter
tain for American citizens. We have always held
that this was the case, aud one of our principal
and most pleasant duties has been to remove mis
t ikes where they existed, to soft' n asperities caused
by misapprehensions, and to strengthen all those
natural bonds of amity and union which should
always exist between two countries situated as the
United States and England are in respect to each
other.
Whilst sanguine iu our hopes as respects the
future peace of Europe, we are sorry to say that we
do not perceive any very bright prospect of a speedy
termination to the existing war. On the con
trary, the explanations from many quarters which
the rumors of peace have drawn forth serve, to con
firm our previous opinion that there will be a cam
paign in 135fi more vigorous and more extended
tlian either of those which we have witnessed.
I We believe that, so far as France, England, and
j Austria, and probably Prussia, are concerned, the
j chances as regards the question of peace or war
! may be said to be in the following position : The
| French Government is inclined to peace by finan
| cial difficulties ; the English Government is inclin-
ed to peace when the objects for which the war was 1
engaged in are either obtained or secured - ‘he Eng- j
lisli people will not hear of peace until they are; the '
Austrian Government is indefatigably whispering i
its councils into the ears of the combattants, and
might obtain its interested ends was it not oppos
ed, even at home, by public opinion. Prussia, no
doubt, is beginning to feel that the interests of
Russia would be best promoted by peace. The
latest demonstrations of Russia—the council of
war now sitting at St. Petersburgh, the increased
defences in the ports of the Baltic, the visit of the
Emperor to the Crimea, and many other circum
stances—confirm the belief that Russia does not at
present intend to submit.
We will quote the Times and the Gonstilutionnel
as the representatives of England and France upon
this subject. The Times savs :
“ Happily for us, we have within ourselves
sources of hope and confidence which the adhesion
of an ally cannot give nor the defection of an alh
take away. We may say it with pride, though we
trust not with arrogance, that England is no se
condary luminary in the European system, shines
by no Sorrowed light, and moves ou a course little
perturbed or affected hv the attraction of other
bodies. What we are to-day we were yesterday and
shall be to-morrow—a nation laying no claim, in
deed, to the character of a military monarchy, but
a Power whose resources begin to develop'them
selves just at the time when those of her rivals are
exhausted. Not having wasted her strength bv
keeping up, during a long peace, an immense ar
my, nominally for the defence of the country, but
really for the repression of liberty, England enters
into war at some disadvantage, and cannot all at
once create armies worthy to represent her wealth,
j her valor, and her unconquerable spirit; but, just
as the Powers that spend all their lives in drilling
and drumming begin to feel the weight of war,
England is beginning to put forth her real strength ;
and hence it happens that, though few Powers have
carried on wars with more checkered and varied
fortune, none have, on the whole, concluded them
with greater glory than she. We may well trust
to the glorious successes we have already achieved
against Russia, and to the mighty preparations
making for the coming campaign —grounds which
cannot deceive us; and, so long as we do so, we
can afford to wait patiently tor the unfolding of
German politics, as a people ready for peace, hut
confident in the result of renewed war.”
The Gonstitulionwl argues that if Russia would
hear reason, and accept very moderate terms, lest
a worse thing happen to her, there are no obstacles
to an arrangement; that France and England will
never allow Russian influence in the East to be
augmented. Russia is further threatened, in the
following somewhat remarkable passage, with an
extension of the present scheme of warfare:
“ If it be necessary, our soldiers will impose
peace in St. Petersburgh itself, mid Russia feels
this so acutely that, shaken in her faith of the bat
teries of Groiistadt, she has bristled the shores of
i the Neva with cannon. Without pretending to he
acquainted with strategy, we may assume that the
Allies are not concentrating their strength in order
to guard ruins. What is the Crimea without Se
bastopol ? And now that the great arsenal of Rus
sia is destroyed, why should the Allies employ an
army of two hundred thousand men to dispute with
Russia the possession of uninhabited mountains
i and sterile steppes? It is easy for them to menace
| all points of the Black Sea, and that most vulnera
! hie part of Russia, the Danube, without giving up
i the position they have conquered. The first can
; non fired on the banks of the Danube would cause i
; Austria to abandon an inaction which weighs lieav- 1
j ily on some of her statesmen, and which ruins her j
1 authority in Europe without re-establishing her j
finances, Now, if Austria moves, she would draw !
with her the major portion, if not the whole, of!
Germany.”
I.e Nord, the Russian journal, published at Brus
sels, has no faith in the success of Austrian inter
vention. It says:
“ Russia would undoubtedly prefer peace to war;
she would gladly accept peace ; but she does not
sue for it as a beggar, and the good folks who be
lieve that she is imploring peace owing to her cx
j haustion, do hut delude themselves; for, though
tiie war inflicts heavy losses on her, she is not ig
j norunt that it costs her enemies dear also, and ‘she
j feels iu herself a genial current quite adequate to
the preservation of her full vitality, notwithstand
-1 ing the blows now being or about, to he levelled
against her. She does not under-estimate the
I strength of her aggressors, but she knows her own
1 strength of resistance, a strength increased ten-fold
by the feeling of national honor, by the enthusi
i asm ot a people and an army fighting in defence of
I 'heir native land, in sight 'of God, whom they in
j voke, and in the name of the Emperor, who blesses
j them.’ That Russian pride will submit to the
j terms said to he incorporated in the Austrian ulti
matum, there is no reason to expect; and the fact
' of Austria having reduced to a peace footing the
j array corps opposed to Russia —namely, that of ,
Galfacia—is a proof of the confidence of the Aus- j
| triau Government in that of Russia, and shows
that she has no idea of a military alliance with the i
Western Powers. In fine, says La Not'd, “them-:
I mors of peace will be entitled to no sort of credit j
so long as the Western alliance shall not have eat- ■
egorically laid down what the conditions are I
j which in its opinion will render peace possible.’’ j
We fear tliat Kars lias surrendered to the Rus- ;
i sians, compelled to do so hv little short of ahso- !
lute starvation. Selim Pacha, with a force of ten !
; thousand irregular troops, left Erzeroum the 9th of
November with supplies for Kars, but he was not
able to make head against the Russian forces who
l occupied the defiles. Outer Pacha was on the
banks of the Marini, three hours march from Ku- i
tats, where it is expected another engagement will
take place. Should Kars have fallen, the addition
al responsibilities and difficulties thrown upon the
Turkish General will be very much increased.
| December 14. —The best news of the morning
; is, that the report of the surrender of Kars is sup-
I posed to he incorrect, as a telegraphic despatch
from Vienna, dated 11 A. M„ yesterday, states,
“ nothing_is known here in official circles of the
i fall of Kars.” A letter from Paris, dated 12th
<* tv t,„i.i ri... .... x-
says : “It Austria holds out, and I know of noth
ing to make one suppose the contrary, Russia will
have no alternative but to accept the’conditions of
1 peace now offered to her.”
The report that the house of Mendelssohn, of
! Berlin, has, with the consent of the Prussian Gov
ernment, opened in that city a subscription for a
loan to the Russian Government for 50,000,000 of
roubles, about £8,000,000 sterling, is disbelieved.
Hoh. Howell Cobb.—This distinguished and
most estimable gentleman is, and always has been,
• eminently a practical, real Democrat, the strictest
' of the sect. While, too. ho has been practical,
there is naught in his political history which can
| be justly characterized as illiberal, bfgotted or in
tolerant. In his course as a public man, he has
been over and over again justified and endorsed, 1
not only by the generous people of Georgia, hut
through tlieir representatives, by the whole people '
of the confederated States, He has been a mem- !
; her of Congress for several terms, has been prom- !
inent before the country as one of the best speak- j
ers of the House of Representatives, and as a lead- i
er of the Democratic forces ; has been Governor of
his State, and now proudly occupies a high and !
deservedly honorable position among the distin- ■
guished statesmen of the present Congress. Mr. I
Cobb s views upon the main fundamental question !
of the du,y which overrides and controls all others
tti a greater or less degree, are identical with those
entertained bv patriotic, honest and liberal states
men and politicians throughout the country.
There is very little, if any doubt, that ifthe :
choice of the Democratic caucus had fallen upon
Howell Cobb, or rather if Mr. Cobb had not un
hesitatingly and peremptorily declined the honor j
which very many would have imposed upon him,
'here would have been a Speaker, and the House
ot Representatives would have been organized, the !
country and the executive relieved some time
since.
Mr. Cobb is yet a young man, well and most fa- >
vorablv known to the whole country, and if the
wish be father to the thought, there are future and
higher honors in the store of the public for his ae- i
ceptance and honorable wearing— JY. Y. Day Book. !
“ Though lost to sight, to memory dear," as the

The Wakkmamtes.—This tribe of deluded fa
natics, now in jail, spend much of their time in
the worship peculiar to themselves, and seem to
regard the whole affair of their imprisonment as a
“persecution for righteousness sake” —and the old
woman keeps up her pretended revelations from
Heaven. It seems she has been for many years
carrying on her nonsense. A gentleman writes us
froth Fairfield, that as long ago as 1832, when liv
ing in that town, she pretended to be “a pro- ;
phetess,” and went from house to house preaching I
and proselyting, At that time she charged her
husband with being the “man of sin,” and with j
“bewitching” all the invalids in that region ! and
under this delusion, she mustered a company of
fanatics, who seized and bound him, when she
made an unnatural and highly criminal assault up
on him with a knife, inflicting dangerous wounds.
The assault might have proved fatal,had not some of
her disciples become alarmed, and put a stop to the
proceedings. It is probable that her “mission for
mischief is about fulfilled.
