DULY CONSTITUTIONALIST
BY JAMKS GARDNER.
TUESDAY MORNING, JAN’Y. 15. |
"JOS’ We received a letter, a few days since, from
Mr. J. J. Milner, enclosing two dollars for sub
scription to the Weekly Otnftitutionabet • He will
please state to us the name of the office he wishes
the paper sent.
River News.
The river is in good boating order.
The Telegraph Lines.
We are pleased to learn that the telegraph line
is in good working order in all directions.
Look out lor the Burglars.
We notice that these midnight prowlers have
been operating in Charleston, very recently, and
there may be some few delegates in our city.
Supreme Court.
The Savannah Republican, of the 14th inst., says:
“This is the day appointed by the late Act for the
opening of the Supreme Court in the Savannah
District. Judges Lumpkin and McDonald arrived
in the city Saturday, and took lodgings at the
Pulaski House. We also perceive the name of T.
R. R. Cobb, Esq., Reporter, on the register of the
same establishment.”
Congressional.
We refer our readers to the abstract of Congres
which we take from the Wu-di
rected towards an organization of the House up to
the latest dates received from Washington. The
strength of the opponents of Democracy is suffi
ciently puisant to disorganize ihe House, but 100
feeble to effect any unity or harmony among them
selves.
Peace and the Eastern War.
We have, for the past few weeks, labored through
long articles, taken from different European pa
pers, and the correspondence from the crowned
heads and parties belligerent, as well as through
column after column from the American press, in
search of something definite in regard to the pros
pects of peace in Europe—but we have found noth
ing but speculations and badly managed negoti
ations. The prospect of peace is about as gloomy
as it was at the first sailing of the British and
French fleets at the beginning of the war. The
French and English are heartily tired of the war,
and the Russians would be pleased if hostilities
would cease ; hut, until there is a decided back-011;
by some of the parties, the war will coutinue.
Edgefield and Augusta Railroad.
We solicit attention to the communication signed
“ Observer.” The charter for this Railroad was
obtained at the last session of the South Carolina
Legislature, and we learn is a perpetual one, and
makes Augusta the terminus of the road.
We are not, at this time, prepared to say that
the Savannah River Valley Railroad enterprise is
less or more worthy of the consideration of Augus
ta, than the Edgefield and Augusta Railroad. Both
are now before the people of Augusta, and we
trust they will receive that full and timely consid
eration which the important hearings and interests
involved, demand.
There were conditions, we learn, affixed to these
charters, by the last Legislature of South Carolina,
which are regarded as very objectionable. We are
not fully apprised of the exact character of those
conditions. When they are well known, and tho
roughly examined, it will be time enough to repu
diate both, or select either of the enterprises.
Granite Mills Flour.
In the commercial department of the Journal oj
Commerce, on the 4th inst., we find the following
paragraph:
“Southern flour is 12%c, lower, with salesof7oo
bids., at for mixed to good brands,
and s9(<i;slo for fancy and extra. We notice a new
brand, named “ Granite Mills,” just introduced
from Augusta, Georgia, which promises to he a
very desirable addition to our stocks for bakers’
use, being very strong. For family flour, a little
more care or skill in bolting will he requisite to
give it a high character.”
We presume the above remarks refer to the qual
ity of flour known as superfine—the finer quality,
where the “ little more care or skill in bolting” is
attended to, is classed here as “ extra family flour,’ ’
We know of no flour in the Union that should have
a “ higher character” than the “ extra family”
flour of several of the Georgia mills.
Augusta and Waynesboro’ Railroad.
This road has, since completion, been leased to
the Central. The total earnings of lease $172,-
558.4 c The disbursements and liabilities $192,-
459.49. The deficit $19,903.09. The deficit is pro
posed to be met by temporary loans. The report
closes thus:
‘‘The freighting business must come chiefly from
Augustr, the counties bordering ou the Georgia
Railroad, and those lying North of it.
For this business we have competitors in the
Charleston Railroad, and the boats on the Savan
nah river. Through these channels it has long
flowed, and from them it may he difficult to divert.
But uc Imre a business to build up, and it mad be
done from the trade of thosi sections. The question
is, can we make it to the interest of the Merchants
of Augusta and the country above to deal with us ?
There can ho no doubt but we may, if wo transact
their business with promptness and dispatch, and
deal justly and liberally with all whose conven
ience, business, or interest, our road and its man
agement may affect. And as we have the ability,
disposition, and determination to do this, there is
no reason why we should not gradually increase the.
business of the road, and make it remunerative to
the stockholders, and a convenience and benefit
to the public.

Samuel Rogers, banker and poet, has at last
yielded the life on which he had so strong a hold ;
he died on the morning of the 18th of December

times ; for, as long as his life was, he lived every
day of it. He published his first volume of poems
in 1787, and thus made liis dehut before the great
grandfathers of the present generation.

navigators—Lt. M. F. Maury— an honorary ac
knowledgment of the Senate of the Republic of
Bremen.”
We learn from the New Orleans press, and
through private letters, that the amount of produce
landed at the wharves of that city, the present sea
son, has no parallel in all its past history. The
effects are very sensibly felt in the greatly en
hanced price of labor, particularly that required
in the business usually transacted on the levee.
As an instance, it may be stated that $1.50 is
charged per load by the drays and wagons, and a
common dav - laborer commands $5 per day.

Interesting and Important from Nicaragua
We have private advices from Nicaragua by the
last steamer, which tell of the re-organization of the
government, deposed not long since by Walker, at
a point in the north section of the Republic, and
that Honduras has sent troops to its aid, &c. The
letter to which we refer, says:
“ President Estrada, who - left Granada just before
Walker took that city, has re-organized the Nation
al Government in the Department of Segovia. He
lias with him the minister of finance, General Mar
tinez, the superior military chief of the department
of the east—Granada—and nearly all the officers
of the army of the late General Corral, and many
other citizens, proprietors and notables of Nicara
gua, and is at the head of the national forces.
“The governments of Salvador and Honduras, far
from sympathising with Walker, have recognized
the national government of President Estrada, and
Honduras has sent to him a considerable bodv of
troops. The two expeditions sent by Walker against
the department of Segovia and Matazalpa have been
defeated by the national troops and one of the
killed is General Valle or Chelan, the person who
denounced General Corral. The cities that have
fallen under the oppression and tyranny of Walker
have been abandoned by their male Inhabitants.
Walker, to oblige them to return, published a de
cree, carrying with it the penalty of a fine of from
to #IO,OOO against those who would not return.
Walker lias seized the effects of many of those who
have refused obedience to bis degree, and has of
fered them at public sale; but all persons (natives
and bona fide resident foreigners have refused to
buy on any terms property thus pretended to have
been escheated.
“All the silver taken in the raids of Walker has
been distributed among the chiefs of the pirates.
French carried away with him some #9,000 in sil
ver and #-20,000 in drafts upon the Transit Compa
ny. which had been accepted and since paid. The
soldiers ■of Walker) have not yet received even
the first dime of the money stolen, as I explain
above, from Nicaraguans. ‘All the citizens of the
country rest in terror under the violence exercised
by Walker, and many of those ('strangers) who
were under him, have abandoned him on realizing
the desolation and real condition of the country.
The few naturalized citizens, who called on Walker
first to enter the country, in order to gratify their
own ambition and desire for vengeance, now weep
over the scenes of blood and misery which they
have thus brought on Nicaragua, anil there has re
turned to them the spirit and instinct of self-pres
ervation. in force equal to that with which it actu
ates all other citizens of Nicaragua. Walker is
surrounded with enemies in disguise, who remain
about him only in the hope of meeting an oppor
tunity to fall on and kill him.
“ The commotion and reaction throughout the
country is so general and so spontaneous, that M.
Roman Rivas, the son of the President created by
Walker, and held in fact as his prisoner and pup
pet, has organized a flotilla in San Juan del Norte,
composed of six boats and eighty men. He has
j gone up the river with this force to take possession
■ of Castillo Viega and San Carlos, and hold them
j against the fillibusters.
“ President Estrada has not onlv his own forces
i and those sent to his aid by Honduras, but C’osta
! Rica has already on the wav to join him three thou
j sand men, while other troops are moving to his aid
from Gunanacaste and Guatemala.
"The want of arms, the great distance to be tra
velled, and the little security of their routes of :
march, have alone prevented the complete defeat
of Walker to this rime. The newspapers of
the United States in the interest of Walker are
striving to present a false picture of Nicaragua.
The situation of things her by no means accords
with their representations of them. Thev are fal
sifying every tiring and deceiving, with misrepre
sentations of the truth, the moral sentiment, and
conscience of the people of the United States.’’
This letter reached us in French, and we trans- ,
late it for the information of the Stars readers. 1
The writer we know well by reputation—is a nat
uralized citizen of Nicaragua of high character and
standing.
A dispatch from Washington, dated the 11th in
stant, says:
“ The Supreme Court this morning sustained j
the claim of Pearson B. Reading to an extensive
ranche at Buena Ventura, in California, thus as- j
firming the principle established in the Fremont
case. Therefore, the fact that Reading acted with j
the United States forces against Mexico, does not !
invalidate the grant of the Mexican government.’’

Congressional.
THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS —FIRST SESSION.
Washington, Jan. St. —Senate. —The Senate did
sit to-day.
House. —The proceedings of yesterday in the
House were characterized by a determination, on
the part of a large majority! to persevere in the
session to a late hour. A number of ballots were
| taken, and, as usual, some most significant debate.
1 Mr. Smith, of Tennessee, delivered an able speech
iu defence of the administration and the Demo
-1 cratic party. Mr. Whitney followed iu a defence
of the Bth article of the ’ Philadelphia platform.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, called out Mr. Giddings, of
| Ohio, in commenting upon a letter written by the
I latter, in which Mr. Campbell was spoken of. Mr.
I Talbott and Mr. Campbell, of Ky., both made
I personal explanations. In the course of the bal
-1 lotting, Mr. Robison, of Pa., who had voted steadi-
I ly for Mr. Banks, rose and stated that, inasmuch
as Mr. Banks had not yet declared himself a mem
ber of the American'Order, and as there were
doubts about it, lie wanted to know if he was at
tached to the Order; and if he was not, lie (Mr.
Robison 1 would no longer vote for him. This call
ed out Mr. Damrell, of Massachusetts, who again
certified to Mr. Bank’s Americanism. To this, Mr.
Carlile, of Virginia, an American member, wanted
to know if Mr Banks was a Rockwell American 1 or
a Gardner (national) Know Nothing. To this no
satisfactory answsr yvas returned, nor to the de
mand of Mr. Robison, and the latter changed his
vote from Banks to Pennington. It was apparent
that if Mr. Banks was proved to be a Know Noth
ing he would lose some votes.
The next most important scene was the brilliant
and remarkable speech of Mr. Caruthers, of Mis
souri, tvho went on to show wliv he could not vote
for Mr. Fuller, who was put forth as a national man,
and yet voted for Mr. Pennington, for Speaker, with
; the fact, in the memory of the members of the last
House, that Mr. Pennington had voted for Mr. El
liot’s preparatory proposition to repeal the fugitive
slave law, and in the present Congress was himself
voting for Banks, (ultra republican and know noth
ing,) while Mr. Fuller tvas being voted for bv
tueky, HTsfrifh’ .-uTA'D
the gentleman (Mr. Caruthers) was not a Whig;
and if so, why he acted with the Democrats and
opposed the Whigs? It is impossible to describe
justly the reply of Mr. Caruthers, his retorts upon
• Mr. Cox, his admirable defence of his vote for Col.
Richardson, and the extinction of the Whig party
iu the embrace of Know Nothiugism. The House
. was intensely absorbed, except when the wit and
repartee of Mr. Caruthers excited irrepressible
laughter. The Democrats, throughout the long
■ session, and up to the hour when this abstract is
1 prepared, voted in unbroken column, and made
5 few explanations, contending themselves with al
lowing their principles to speak for them. 'The
1 House was still in session at the hour of going to
press.
Washington, Jan’v. in.—Senate.- —Mr. Clayton
submitted a resolution calling on the President of
the United States for a copy of a letter from Lord
John Russell to Mr, Crampton, dated January 19,
1853, in which it was declared that the British
Government “intend to adhere strictly to the treaty
of Washington, of the 19th of April, 1850, and not
to assume any sovereignty, direct or indirect, in
Central America.” The resolution was adopted.
A resolution was also adopted authorizing the
President of the Senate to assign rooms in the north
wing of the Capitol Extension for the use of the
Court of Claims, during the present session of the
Supreme Court.
Several memorials were presented of officers of
the navy complaining of the action of the naval
hoard. An extended discussion on the subject
arose, in which Messrs. Brodhead, Mason, Hale,
Benjamin, Jones, of Tennessee, Mallory, Toucey,
and others, participated. Without disposing of the
subject, it was passed over informally; and, after
au executive session, the Senate adjourned until
Monday next.
House. —-The resolution of the Democratic mem
bers in their last caucus, to vote against adjourn
ment, and to remain in session until a Speaker was
elected, intended as a new demonstration of their
disposition, if not of their ability, to bring about
an oganization of the House, so far from having
contributed to such n result, served only to in
crease the animosity of the opposition, and the
scenes which occurred on Wednesday night stand
in striking evidence of this declaration. The ex
periment intended to he tried by the Democratic
party was tried, and it has proved to he a failure.
From five o’clock on Tuesday until eight o’clock
on Wednesday morning no ballots for Speaker
were taken, until the most obstinate strugle on va
rious propositions to adjourn, calls of the House,
Ac., Ac., had been made by a portion of the Amer
ican party, and defeated." After remaining more
than twenty hours in continuous session, the Dem
ocrats at last voted in a body for the adjournment,
leaving the country to judge whether they, as a
minority of the House of Representatives," could
do anything more than they had done to effect the
organization, and at the same time to adhere to
their obligations to the Constitution. Excepting
an occasional hurst of bilaritv during the protract
ed sitting, caused by the good-humored speech of
some one of the members, the temper of the House
was exceedingly good, when we consider the exci
ting issues involved and the nature of the divi
sions of parties.
Nothing decisive or important was accomplished
during the night, and when the House adjourned,
at half-past eight o’clock Thursday morning, it
seemed to be as far from the election as when it
assembled on Tuesday at 12 o’clock.

The Norfolk Argus states that no more than
about 25 per cent, of the fig crop in that vicinity
came to maturity; and assigns the yellow fever
that prevailed there during the summer os the
cause. Tt says :
“ A large portion of every kind, except a small
white variety, called the “celestial fig,” exhibited
signs of decay before they were fully ripe. A
small soft spot was first observed, generallv on the
spot to-wards and nearest the ground. This in
creased rapidly until the whole fig was a mass of
very offensive ami disgusting putrid matter. It
maybe worthy of note, too, that portions of the
leaves on some of the shade trees changed to a
dark color, and wethered as early as the middle of
September.”

The Charleston Courier, of yesterday, sars:
“ We understand that in consequence of the con
tinued indisposition of M’lle Rachel, she was una
ble to perform at Havana, and the company was
dissolved. M’lle Sarah Felix, and some of the
members of tbe company, arrived yesterday morn
ing in the Isabel. M’lle Rachel and others left in
the British steamer for Southampton.
No Speaker Yet. —Why don’t they fuse ? The
people are getting tired of this torn-foolery. Near
ly one hundred ballots have been taken to elect a
Speaker, and there is no more prospect of succeed
ing now than there was thirty days ago. What a
spectacle to present to even our own country! to
sav nothing about Ihe other nations of the earth,
who are looking to the workings of this model Ite
| public. The Democrats of the House are iu a mi
: nority, and have nothing to contend for but their
principles and position.
| Why don’t the opposition fuse there as they did
at home to get there? Republicans could vote for
Know Nothings at home without any compunc
tions of conscience. Why can’t they do so there ?
And the Know Nothings, in turn, could vote for
the blackest kind of republicans in order to defeat
a Democrat. Has a change of place changed the
propriety or the principle of the thing? Sam and
Sambo were lovely in life —why should they thus
separate in death ? “When a man ceases to be
consistent, he ceases to be honest.”

Within a few days past, we observe in our Balti
more exchanges, a’suit was brought before Justice
Durham, by John W. Bloomer, against the Gas
Light Company of Baltimore, to recover damages
in consequence of the withholding gas from him.
It was set forth by the plaintiff that the previous
occupant of the store was in arrears for gas, but
that he had offered, and was willing to pay, for all
that had been burnt since he had come in posse*
sion of the business, but the Company refused to
allow him any light without the entire bill was set

they had the right to withhold of supply as they
thought proper. The Justice, however, thought
differently, and gave judgment for #IOO damage*.
