C'jjt Dnilij Cnnßtitatinimfet BY JAMES GARDNER. FRIDAY MOHMM;, JAJITf. ft. We received no Charleston papers by the mail yesterday afternoon, and were indebted to the po- Uteness of a gentleman on the cars for the Mercury ; and Standard of yesterday morning. 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. To Kansas Emigrants. 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 Democrats nominated Richard L. Wright, for Speaker of the House, and Wm. M. Platt, for President of the Senate. 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. New Yore Legislature. —The Albany Argus classifies the members of the Legislature, as fid lows : Democrats 50 —Know Nothings 44—Repub licans 33—Whig 1 l Fowler, of Oneida.] Productive Land. —-The Southern Minnesota Herald says that Mr. Looney, of Root river, gath ered this year four thousand bushels of corn off of seventy acres, more than half of which had not been touched front the time it was planted. Mr. Looney also raised a cartload of seventy pumpkins from one seed ! The richest member of the present Congress ts William Aiken, of South Carolina. His property is valued at two million of dollars. The post office department have recently return ed all the dead letters received from foreign coun tries, uncalled for in this. The Boston Adrertieei , of Wednesday, records the liberal bequest by the late P. P. F. Dkgrand, of one-quarter part of his property (which is esti mated to amount in value to $12o,000) to Harvard College, the income to be expended in enriching a particular department of the library. He also be queathes one-twelfth of his property to the city of Boston, and two-thirds to various charitable insti tutions. 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 Directors of the Manufacturers’ Bank of Ma con have declared a dividend of five per cent, on the operations of the Bank for the last six months. 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.

Howell Cobb for a copy of the President’s Message. From the Savannah News, Dec. 3.] 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. William B. Fleming, Chairman. Julian Hartridge, Secretary. The Mayor of the city of Savannan called a ineet ; ing of the citizens to give expression to their feel t iugs on the occasion-- the clergymen of the various religious denominations were invited to attend his iuneral— and the flags of the shipping in port were ! displayed at half-mast. From the Xeer York Journal of Commerce. 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. E. Mj-riam.

An accidental explosion of gas in the purifying house of tae gas-works, at Elizabethtown, New Jersey on Saturday, demolished the building, and seriously burned the- workmen. 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 young lady said to her lover, when his face was buried in beard and whiskers. 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.
