lIILY CONSTtTCTIOMLIST
BY JAMES GARDNER.
FRIDAY WORMNG, JAN’Y. 11.
The River
Is receding gradually, and we fear it will get into
its low 'rays again. Heavy draft steamers and
heavily laiden tow boats have to be a little careful
ol sand banks. The river is in good navigable
condition yet for all of our steamers.
Augusta Races 3d Day.
There was but one horse entered for the main
race, in the purse of S3O0 —three mile heats. Ran
nie Lewis walked over the course, and her owners
took the pttrse.
THK POST ENTRY RACE.
Three nags were entered— Little Master, .Jim
GambU, and Glascock. The race was closely con
tested, but Little Master won both heats—lst 3 ni.
; 2d 3 m. 5.
Colt Stake Race—This Day.
TWO MILE HEATS —PUBS* $2300.
The following three year olds, are announced to
start:
H. C. Coffee enters b. c. by imported Sovereign,
dam Little Mistress.
D. McDaniel’s Frank Allen, by Hawkins Priam,
dam by imported Trustee.
John Campbell’s eh. f. Laura Spillman, by
Wagner, darn Glovena.
1 nos. Pcrvkah’s, Moidore, by imported York
shire, dam Picayune.
V\ m. W. Woodfolk’s b. c. Kansas, by imported
Sovereign, dam by Leviathan.
1 his will be the most exciting and interesting
colt race ever run in the South. The colts are all
game and thorough bred. The tap of the drum,
at one o’clock to-day, will throw into action every
muscle to contend for supremacy. Fleetness of
heel “with a consistency of motion,” will achieve a
triumph and obtain the contents of the purse.
Circus, and Fast Night.
To-night is set apart for the benefit of the great
American clown, Mr. Gborcr O. Knapp. He pro
mises to be exceedingly amusing, and the perfor
mances generally, will be very fine.
The Telegraph and Mails.
Uncle Sam's .Mail bags on the rails, and Prof.
Morse s N ehicle, on the wires, bad a lively race
yesterday. Uncle Sam reached the Post Office in
Augusta a little ahead of the Professor. The
steamer’s news, sent to us by telegraph, yesterday
from Columbia, S. 0., was the same news which
appeared in the Columbia papers yesterday morn
ing, and in the Petersburg, Va., papers, received at
this office by the mails, with this difference, that
the Petersburg papers contained fuller accounts,
and we think more reliable.
But we are pleased to notice that the Telegraph
lines are in operation again, and we trust will con
tinue so.
The mails are also coming tip, and we hope eve
rything will be all right with Uncle Bam and the
Professor soon.
Seven Northern Mails Behind.
We are requested to state, and we know the fact
as well, that the latest New York paper received at
the Augusta post office bears date of January’ 4th.
There are seven Northern mails now due. Uncle
Bam has had to contend with snow storms, ice, and
other troubles, and cannot make much headway
against the conflicting elements.
The Charleston Courier.
This ably conducted news and commercial jour
nal, has just entered its fifty-fourth year. Its in
creasing age, have imparted vigor, ability and en
terprise to its columns, and “ may it live a thous
and years.”
Central Railroad.
We presume that there was some aeaident on
the up trains of the Central Railroad yesterday,
as there was a failure of the cars and mails last
night. It is so seldom that anything of this sort
happens on that road, that we are not disposed to
grumble, but we sincerely regret it.

The Weather.
On the stli iust., there was a very severe snow
storm in Washington. Steam boat and railway
communication were entirely suspended.
In portions of Western New York the railroad
were all blocked up with snow.
About the same time, the navigation of tiie Obit
was entirely suspended.
The heavy fall of snow extended from North
Carolina to as far North as we have heard from.
Mobile, in an ordinance to “ mare strictly
observe the Christian Sabbath,” barber’s shop
are not allowed to keep open later than 12 M. or
Sundays. Here the peg is set up at 12 M. on Sat
orday night.
Effects of the W as.—The Manchester F.rami
nee , one of the ablest of the English provincial
papers, says that the increase of pauperism in
Manchester has been nearly fifty per cent, in 1555,
above the numbers iu 15.14. The fact is mention
ed to illustrate the influence of the war upon tht
industrial interests of Great Britain.
Longevity in the "West. —Died, in Boyle coun
tv, Kentucky, on the 21st December, John Sneed
a native of Yirgiuia, aged one hundred years. In
Bourbon county, Kentucky, on the 23d December,

Died, on the 12th December, iu Henry county,
Indiana, Mrs. C atharine Bouslog, aged ninety-five
years. Her husband died about a year ago, at the
age of ninety-nine years.

Astronomic Progress.—The last number of the
Edinburgh Review, in an article on the Plurality of
orlds, thus speaks of the comparatively recent
date of astronomic diseovery, and the great pro
gress it has made:
It was reserved to the renowned Copernicus,
some two centuries and a half ago, first distinctly
to demonstrate that the apparent terrestrial plain
was really a tree and independent material mass,
moving in a definable path through space. Then
Newton explained that this independent mass
moved through space because it was substantial
and heavy, and because it was unsupported bv
props and chains; that in fact, ns a massive body,
it is falling forever through the void, but that as it
falls it sweeps round the sun in a never ending cir
cuit, attracted towards it by magnet-like energv,
but kept off from it by the force of its centrifugal
movement. Next, Snell and Picard measured the
dimensions of the heavy and falling mass, and
found that it was a spherical body, with a girdle of
25,000 miles. Subsequently to this, Bailey con
trived a pair of scales that enabled him approxi
mately to weigh the vast sphere, and he ascertained
that it had within itself somewhere about 1,256,-
157,67-0,000,000,000,000,000 tons of matter. To
these discoveries, Foucault has recently added de
monstration to the actual sense of the tact that the
massive sphere is whirling on itself as it falls
through space, and round the sun, so that point af
ter point of its vast surface is brought in succession
into the genial influence of the sunshine, an in
vesting atmosphere of commingled vapor and air
is made to present clouds, winds and rain, aud the
invested surface to bear vegetable forms aud ani
mated creatures in great diversity.
To Copernicus occurred also the idea that this
heavy mundane sphere, which affords convenient
j and substantial support to the footsteps of man,
might possibly be not the only body of this kind
contained within the wide realms of universal
space. He knew that if he could get far enough
from its sunlit form, lie must see it dwindle down
to a shining point or star. He perceived that the
transparent regions surrounding the earth are
crowded with such shining points which be
come visible when the observer is protected from
the glare of the sun by the nocturnal shadow of
the globe.
He watched these shining star-points night after
night, until he ascertained that some amongst them,
at least, move iu space, as the earth does, and
round the sun. From these simple data, with the
bold dash of genius, lie leaped at once to the con
clusion that man’s world was not solitary in the
infinite wilderness of space; that it has compan
ions and brethren amidst the shining hosts of the
sky; that there are other orbs of substantial ma
terial, whirling iu tlie sunshine, and capable of af
fording all the conditions which life of the highest
kind needs for its development and support. Year
after year, as fresh appliances have been brought
to bear upon tlie advancement of astronomical
science, new arguments have been furnished in
favor of the sagacious surmise of Copernicus.
So soon as the telescope was added to the in
struments of man’s research, new worlds and sys
tems of worlds were revealed to him.
In this way has gradually matured the idea that
there- are in this wide- universe countless my
j riads of tirmcntal star-clusters, which are theni
! selves, severally, what the cluster is that is seen by
the naked eve to spangle the surrounding heavens
at night; that there are families of firmaments, as
there are groups and associated clusters of stars or
suns. But immediately upon the recognition of
■ this idea followed, as a matter of course, the ex
[ tension to these external firmaments of the same
condition with which the near one lias been already
clothed. It’ they are all individually groups of
mighty and ponderous suns, they too must be look
ed upon as having life associated with their sub
stance. Either each of those stars must be a world
inhabited by organization and sentient intelli
gence, or it must have its own special world-bro
» therhood circling around its light.giving orb. Such
- is the magnificent sketch which astronomy, wheth
er in accordance with reality, or in error, has ex
hibited as her representation of nature —space that
is'immeasurable by the senses of mau, containing
ponderous orbs in myriads that cannot be number
ed by liis aritmetic, scattered hither and thither in I
connected and associated groups, and all, direct- i
ly or indirectly, concerned in the development i
and maintenance of some form or other of organic
life.
i m
Singular Astronomical Prediction about to be !
: Verified. —We have on several occasions made i
reference to a recent work, entitled “The New i
Theory of the Creation and Deluge.” Among j
other startling predilections contained in that j
hook, it is stated that “it is probable the rings j
which surround Saturn arc composed of water, i
snow or ice, which, at some future time, may de- j
I scendaud deluge that, plan./, ours was deluged in :
I the days of the patriarch Noah !” It now appears j
that this event is likely to take place a 1 title soon- |
er than was anticipated, for Sir David Brewster ■
says: “Mr. Otto Struve and Mr. Bond have lately i
studied with the great Munich telescope, at the !
Observatory of Pulkoway, the third ring of Saturn, j
which Mr. Lassells and Mr. Bonds discovered to j
be fluid. These astronomers are of opinion that '
this fluid ring is not of very recent formation, and j
that it is not subject to rapid change ; and they
have come to the extraordinary conclusion that tlie
, inner border of the ring has, since the time of
Huygens, been gradually approaching to the body
of Saturn, and that m may expect., sooner or later,
1 perhaps in some dose?) of years, to see the rings uni
ted with the body of the planet."
Had this prediction of a citizen of Philadelphia
/ been made by one of the magnates of Europe, it
. is probable it would have been copied into most of
the newspapers both here and abroad, and its near
1 accomplishment heralded from one end of the land
to the other, which would have stamped a value
upon the book that would have caused it to he read.
by all well informed individuals who desire to keep
themselves posted up in modern scientific discov
eries. But “who reads an American book ?” “Can
any good thing come out of Nazareth?” When
Leverrier predicted that a new planet might be
found outside of Herschel. and when that new
planet was soon after discovered, he received, as
lie deserved, the applause of the world. Whilst
! here is a prediction as purely derived from a pro
cess of reasoning as Leverrier's was, which few, if
any, have noticed. I" it not time that Americans
should learn to appreciate a valuable work, even
though it has not yet come from the other side of j
- the water? —Philadelphia News.
The Washington Sentinel says :
“ Much inconvenience is experienced both by i
members of the House of Representatives and j
■ many of our citizens, in consequence of the failure j
.i to organize. The Sergeant-at-aruu, Mr. Gloss
! brenner, from his own private resources, furnished
j or advanced between fifty and sixty thousand dol- !
I lars for the pay of members; but, according to I
' | what was said iu the House on Thursday, some of i
■ 1 the latter have not vet drawn the “first red cent.” j
j Besides there are tradesmen and mechanics who
j are waiting for funds to meet their obligations. I
1 Thus, then- is a check to business transactions; ]
and an anxiety on the part of almost everybody for !
j the passage of a bill to supply deficiencies in the
! appropriations, as heretofore. And no money can
! be drawn from the Treasury for the payment of I
1 the various persons employed in the House.
I General Land Office.— Washington Teurito- !
; nr.—A letter has been received by the Conimis- ;
j sioner of the General Land Office from the survey- j
j or general of Washington Territory, stating that
the public surveys have beer, interrupted by the |
hostilities of the Indians, and that every surveyor
j in the Territory has turned soldier.

Congressional.
THIRTY-FOURTH congress—first session.
Washington, Jan. 5, 1856. —-House.—Mr. Broom j
remarked that ninety-two ballots had been taken
without the slightest prospect of any result. The j
House had beard much in regard to the position I
which different parties and different individuals had '
assumed in this contest. He thought this was the
appropriate time to remind the gentlemen of the
House that the paramount issue upon which they
had been elected to represent the will of constitu
encies who composed a majority of the people of
this nation was the American issue. He offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the friends and supporters of the
prominent candidates for the speakership be, and
j they are hereby, requested to withdraw them from
the further consideration and action of this House,
and that the members representing the different
parties on this floor are hereby requested to meet
together aud appoint a committee of five from
each, with a view of electing a conservative mem
ber of this House as a compromise candidate for
Speaker. [Great laughter, j
Mr. Stephens was opposed to the resolution of
the gentleman from Pennsylvania, [Mr. Broom.]
The House could not be organized in that wav, in
his judgment, and, if it could, it would not be a
good method. He wished to reply to the gentle
man, however, who had said that the American
party in this House had been elected on the Ameri
can principles as paramount to all others, and that
therefore they ought to organize the House upon
that basis, lie did not know the stregth of that
party in the House. The gentleman from Ken
tucky, Mr. Marshall] had some days ago informed
them that there was a majority on the floor of the
House belonging to that party, and who could or
ganize upon the principles of that party ; but what
a spectacle would have been presented to the
House and the country if an organization had
been effected on such* a basis as that! There
might by a majority in favor of the principles of
that party ; but, if so, there were only about thir
ty-six votes, all told, cast for the gentleman from
Pennsylvania [ Mr. Fuller] and the gentleman from
Kentucky, Mr. H. Marshall] and but the six of
those votes from the entire North. The remaider of
the party, consisting of about two-thirds or three
fourths of the whole, stood in solid phalanx against
one whole section of the Union. If this was the
American party, what a spectacle did it present to
the country ! Might he not appeal to the gentle
man from Pennsylvania himself as well as that
gentleman’s Southern associates, and ask them, if
that party had become so corrupt in its beginning,
when it was only two years old, as to stand urrav
ed in solid phalanx against one section of the Un
ion, whether it ought not to be put down ? He
was, therefore, opposed to the organization of the
House upon the basis of the principles of a party
so organized and so constituted. The gentleman
had said that the American party in the House had
been elected upon the principles of that party para
mount to all others. He did not know and could
not say anything against that; but, so far as his
own election was concerned, ho would say that he
had been elected upon the principle of maintaining
the Constitution of the United States in all its
length, breadth, and depth, every clause and every
section, as paramount to all other questions.
Mr. Broom.—The gentleman will permit me to
say, and so was I.
Mr. Stephens said that, as lie understood the
principles of that, party—and he asked the gentle
man to set him right if he made any mistake, be
cause the outsiders bad only the benefit of the lit
tle glimmerings of light that shot through the se
cret caves and dark lanterns of that party—it set
out bv directing that no member of that party
should ever vote for any man who was not a na
tive American, and in favor of Americans ruling
America, nor should lie vote for a Roman Catholic.
He asked the gentleman if that was not the corner
stone of that party? If so, perhaps it was the rea
son why some gentlemen could not vote for Mr.
Richardson. True, that gentleman was a native;
born American, and was not a Roman Catholic
but he was not in favor of Americans ruling Amer
ica to the exclusion of all foreign-born citizens
from office. The Constitution of the country did
not exclude these men; and because his friend
Richardson would not assume a position high
above the Constitution, and make a test for office
that it never makes, there is an impassable barrier
between that gentleman and the gentleman from
Pennsylvania [Mr. Fuller], and cverr other man
who was in favor of Americans ruling America, or,
in other words, excluding foreign-born citizens
from office.
The next principle of that party, as he under
stood it, was that it one of its members be elected
to office lie never shall confer office upon any for
eign-born citizen, or upon a Roman Catholic. The
President would be bound by the principles of that
party—and bound, too, by an oath—never to ap
point a Roman Catholic to office. The gentleman
said that he was in favor of maintaining the Con
stitution yif the country. The Constitution says
that no religious test shall ever be required; but
this principle of the American party made it the
duty ot the President, or any other individual
elected to office bv them, never to appoin a Roman
Catholic to office. That party, then, was based and
built up in direct opposition to this great principle
of the Constitution of the United States. Their
obligations require that a test shall be made; the
Constitution savs that a test shall'uever be required.
Now, which obligation would ah officer, if elected,
comply with—the obligation of the party, or the
obligation of the Constitution?
Mr. Whitney desired to ask the gentleman wheth
er he would appoint a man to office whom he knew
entertained political opinions hostile to the inter
ests of this country?
Mr. Stephens.—l would not,
Mr. Whitney said that was the basis of the hos
tility of the American party to the papists.
Mr. Stephens answered, that the gentleman said
that that was the basis of tlie American party,
and yet it rested upon the principle that no Roman
Catholic should ever be appointed to office; it was,
therefore, natural to assume that the gentleman
and his party held all Reman Catholics to be ene
mies of the country—an insinuation which he
scorned.
Mr. Fust is coincided with the gentleman from
Georgia [Mr. Stephens] in every respect in his
opinions on the subject of this religious test, and
the State council of Louisiana had in the most for
mal and emphatic manner, repudiated the action
of the Philadelphia National Convention in the
| matter.
Mr. Stephens had no doubt that the people of
j Louisiana had repudiated that test, as had half of
| the other States, and they would continue to do so
! until the great fabric of Americanism—growing
j small by degrees and beautifullyy less—would be
) extinguished altogether.
] On motion of Mr. Edie, the resolution of the gen
| tleinan from Pennsylvania [Mr. Broom] was finally
I laid on tlie table.
The House then proceeded to vote for Speaker.
• The Clerk called the roll for the ninety-third time,
! with the following result:
Whole number votes 219 ; necesssarv to a choice,
110: of these Mr, Banks received 105; Richardson
72: H. M. Fuller 32 ; Pennington 6 ; Scattering 4.
There being no choice, the House proceeded to a
; ninety-fourth vote, with tlie following result:
I Whole number of votes, 210; necessarv to a
] choice, 106: of these Mr. Banks received 98 ; Rich
ardson 72 ; 11. M; Fuller 29; Pennington 6 ; Scat
| tering 5.
There being no choice, the House, on motion of
Mr. Goode, at half past four o’clock, adjourned.
Some of the Hiss Tribe.
The Washington correspondent of the South
Side ' Petersburg) Democrat, of January 4th, says :
There are some twenty-five or more Know Noth
ing parsons in the House, and all except two are
Abolitionists and vote for Banks. The Rev. Mr.
Pearce, of Pa., was convicted a few days since on
the floor of the body of an attempt to bribe a mem
ber into voting for Banks. The day after being Sun
day, be is reported to have delivered two sermons
in one of the churches in this city, and the next
night to have been seen drunk at a Faro Bank.
Such is the fair sample of Know Nothing parsons.
Brother Pearce is said to have affected in his can
vass great fear of the Pope.
Inauguration of Governor Wells.—A despatch
from Augusta, Maine, dated the 4th, says:
“ The Legislature to-day elected Judge Wells, an
old-line Democrat, Governor of the State. He re
ceived eighty-eight votes in tlie House und twenty
one iu the Senate.
The Fovernor elect was immediately inaugurated,
| after which lie sent in a message, in which he ac
quiesces in the Nebraska bill, takes strong ground
| against the prohibitory law, recommends a license
: system, condemns the alien and naturalization laws
ami the personal liberty bill. The balance refers
! to local matters.”

Every Planter his own .Miller.—
With FELTON’S PORTABLE GRIST MILL, every
Planter can make all his own Meal, Hominy, and
can also grind all the feed for his Stock. It is so
simple in construction, that any negro ten years
old, can run it, there being uo liability to get out
of order. The grinding surfaces are Chilled Iron,
and are self-sharpening. The construction of this
Mill makes it peculiarly adapted to horse power—
it will make good work with an unsteady motion.
