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. Election Returns. The Anti-Ticket is elected in Warren county, with the exception of Receiver of Tax Returns, w ho is a Know Nothing. In Wilkes county, the whole Anti-Ticket elected. In Columbus, the Know Nothings have elected their ticket. In Gwinnett, the Antics prevailed. In Columbia county, the Know Nothings have elected the Clerk of Courts and Tax Collector, ant: ilr- Amies elected Ordinary, Sheriff and Tax Re ceiver. In Burke, the Anti-Ticket elected. In Oglethorpe, the Know Nothings prevailed. Clarke Cointv.—Jackson, for Ordinary—Lamp lix, Sheriff Johnson, Clerk of Court —Hughes Tax Collector—Dlnauoo, Receiver—Dicken, Cor oner —Robert Moore, County Surveyor. In Jefferson county, the Know Nothings sue ceeded, by playing their secret game. in Fulton all the Know Nothings elected. In Newton, reported the same. Town Council of Athens. The following is the result of the recent electior in Athens; Gen. Wm. Gkruixb Intendent, and S. C. Ref.si Secretary and Treasurer. First Ward. —Dr. Jos. B. Carlton, J. W. Nicoi. son, S. C. Reese.

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, Jons Gass, aged ninety years. 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. e find the following dispatches, iu relation ti the late severe weather, in the Richmond Dispatch. “ Lynchburg, Ya.

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 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. !

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.
