<iEOU(;i \ LEGISLATE RE.
Mi .i.uiiokv-illk, Jan. 13. 1655
SENATE.
On motion of Mr. Lono, of Glynn, the rules of
the Senate were suspended to allow the introduc
tion of a bill adding the counties of Clinch, Wan;
i harlton, and Appling, now of the Southern, to the
Eastern Judicial Circuit.
Mr. Camden, of Cherokee, called up his resolu
tion prohibiting the introduction of new matter
at- r the first day of February next, except by the
consent oi two thirds of the Senate. The resolution
was concurred in.
The consideration of Judge Cone’s bill reducing
the number of the Senate to thirty-three, one to be
elected from each of Thirty-three districts hereafter
to be organized, and providing for annual session*
of the General Assembly, was resumed, as the un
linished business of yesterday.
1 he day was spent in the discussion of tnis bill.
It was considered by sections.
r l he (question of reduction or no reduction of the
Senatorial brancii was the first disposed of. Various
plans for reduction were presented. The original
proposed to have one Senator from each of UurG
three Senatorial Districts.
Mr. Miller, of Richmond, proposed to amend j
by establishing twenty Senaturiel districts from I
which two Senators were to be elected, one holding j
his office two, and the other four years, so that one ;
should be elected every two years. Mr. Bt cuah- j
an s proposition was to make the State Senatorial j
districts tlie same as the congressional, to elect !
six Senators from each, one third to get out every !
two years, their term of office to expire every six j
years and thus require the election of two every |
two years. These amendments were all voted !
down, the first part of the bill stricken out, and j
the Constitution left standing as before. Tie i
clause nt the bill providing for annual sessions i
having been reached, a warm debate was opened j
as to its necessity, advantages, inconveniences, and ]
the terms upon which thev ought to be allowed. j
Mr. Miller, of Richmond, moved to amend bv fix- !
mg the time of meeting on the first Wednesday in
November, tiie session to continue forty days,"and j
if protracted longer, the officers and members to !
receive but half pay. This amendment left the j
elections as at present, biennial.
Judge Cone offered to amend by providing for j
< lections on the first Monday in October, of every |
vear. lie supported his amendment with ability, j
Popular elections should be frequently held. lie j
thought them beneficial. Political excitement was j
not to be avoided. Repose was incidental to de.-> j
potisms; in Republics, the mass of the people !
thought much, and talked freely of political at- j
fairs, it was right. Public meetings were held, !
public speaking had, political knowledge was dis
seminated and the people w ere more able to oxer- j
rise the powers which they more sensibly felt they >
possessed.
By frequent elections the opportunities to have a j
' true p-Hretion of public sentiment in the Legisla- !
live Halls were increased.
Mr. Pool, of Hart, favored a limitation of the
essiou to forty days, if annual sessions were to he i
held. He deprecated many evils as the result of u i
change without a limitation. He thought the time j
limited in the amendment offered, was sufficiently
long, and believed it was but right that this safe- !
guard should be thrown arouml the public inter- .
c»ts. I
Mr. Peeples, of Clarke, declared himself in fa
vor of annual session, blit uncompromisingly hos
tile to annual elections. It was Democratic to have
the fullest expression of public opinions in elec
tions. By bringing on all the important elections
together, all political questions of magnitude would
be involved, the largest numbers would be enlisted
in going to the polls, and the public will more
completely eliaited. He was opposed to political
excitements. He thought the Legislature should
be elected at the same time, and that their term
shoull expire at the same time as the Governor.
He believed the people were against it. No Grand
Jury, or political meeting had recommended it.
(When or where have anv recommended annua’
.which he favored?) No man outside of
the Legislature had intimated or favored it. Not
one. If Mr. Peeples will read a document, prim
ed by order of the Senate for the use of the Sena
tors, known as the Governor’s Message, he will see
that Ilis Excellency "recommends a return to an
nual sessions of the Genera! Assembly," that le
thinks annual ■ hclion-i so far from being an evil
"are important,” Ac. (See page ls.l
Mr. Cox is, of Ball neb, was opposed to retaining
members on half pay. Rich men could thus re
main on their own expenses and pass any bill they
thought proper.
Mr. McMili.ax did not think political excite
ments objeclional. Like a boiling cauldron, the
fermenting of public opinion threw off the filth
and scum, which intrigue mav have unsuspecting
ly engendered. He was glad to see political ex
citements on great issues, aud should for ibis, with
other reasons, vote for the bill. He was in favor of
fixing the time of meeting on Wednesday, so that
the preliminary arrangements for an organization
would not hereafter be made on Sunday. He did
not want to see a limitation on the sessions. He
thought when the Legislature met. that the busi
ness of the State should be disposed of as fast as
possible. This he thought had been, and still
would I>e done. If it required longer than forty
days, the time should be allowed and the members
compensated.
Mr. Gihson, of Pike, wished a limit on the ses
sions. He believed the extended territory and di
versified interests of the State required the year!;,
assembling of it- Legislature. The public weal
required a guard. He thought forty days too
short a limit, and moved to extend to sixty.
Mr. Nichols, of Clinch, objected to the amend
ment, which was lost.
Mr. GrEßttr opposed. Fraquent elections would ;
keep up continual political wrangles. There were
incalculable evils in closely contested counties, lie j
held members bound to vote agreeable to wishos
of their constituents, which they (•■mid easily as ■
certain. Vo political information was advantage
ously disseminated during campaigns. lie pro j
lerred engaging tutors to visit, and enlighten the j
people at tlte public esnense. Abase and degra- j
ded horde of “floaters’ would be pampered and t
ted from the boards of aspirants, in contemplation J
cl'the frequeut opportunities for employing them
beneficially lor themselves or friends. The rancor ,
of party should be quietly smothered, rather than ,
frequently irritated.
I uin unable to do justice to the speeches of the J
gentlemen. Mature preparation ana a deep inter- i
est, as well as the importance of the measure, were t
exhilarating siimulantsVbich'idded lire to the style '
of the orators, and interest to the debate. I have
not time to give you a history of the progress of ;
the bill, the introduction, adoption and rejection ,
of ann-ndun ■ As anieuded, it was passed, B
it the elections are to be biennial. The sessions 1
nrc to beheld annually, on the first Wednesday in ,
November, with a limit of forty days, to be pro- ■
longed by a vote of two-thirds of both branches. !
The vote to he recorded without any motion to'
that effect.

A hill incorporating the Middle Ground Railroad
Company. Ihe road to run from Covington to
Columbus.
A bill to change the time of holding the Superi
or Courts of Newton county to the third Mondays
in March and September, and to allow a two weeks
session.
The hill giving the city authorities of Atlanta
the unlimited control of the liquor traffic in that
city, was taken np. Mr. Harris, of Fulton, made
a beautiful and flowery speech, and highly
plausible, and somewhat forcible argument in
favor of it. The constitutionality of the mea
sure was proven by him, I think,' beyond ques
tion; in sustaining its equity and propriety,
he signally failed. The question involves the
whole subjeet of restrictive legislation in regard to
vending liquors. The precedent, as established bv
more than one Legislature in the past, of givin-'
the control of the traffic to the Justices of tin- In
ferior Courts of comities and the authorities m
towns, was produced by Mr. Harris, and zealously
urged in favor of the policy of the bill, and us a
weighty argument in support of its constitutionali
ty.
The hour for adjourning arrived before anv dis
position was made of the bill. Under the rule yes
terday adopted, it could not be considered in the
afternoon, without a special suspension lor this
purpose. The bill will be taken up on another day
as unfinished business.
; The rule of the House, appointing the afternoon
session for reading Senate bills the first, and House
bills the second time, was suspended, and the bills
appropriating ten thousand each, to the Atlanta and
Savannah Medical Colleges, were read the third
time. A substitute offered by Mr. Lewis, of Han
cock, leaving out the Savannah College, and reduc
ing the appropriations to five thousand dollars, was
the subject of an interesting debate between Messrs.
Lewis and Lawton. The substitute was so amend
ed as to include the Savannah College, and adopted
in lieu of the original. The substitute is now on
its passage. Mr. Harris, of Fulton, made the
opening speech, favoring the passage of tl,e bill,
showing the advantages derivable from the sme
llier lectures iu the Atlanta College, the necessity
for building up Southern institutions of this kind,
and urging the obligation of the State to aid in do
ing so.
Mr. Lawton followed in the same line of argu
ment, sustaining the begging hand of the Southern
city. Savannah - and coinciding with the preceding
gentlemen as- to the correctness of the principle!
and the propriety of its application in the. cases
pending.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, also assumed the advn
cacv of the bill, lie did so, he said, to encourage
science, to build up a noble, intelligent and libera!
hearted profession who were a benefit and an honor
to the State and to the country, and as some retiut
neration to that profession for the charitable toil,
so kindly bestowed by them ou the weak and im
potent poor of the laud which it is our duty, as a
people and a State, to protect and sustain. The
gentleman was rather inclined to .severity in bi
reply to Mr. Crook, of Chattooga, who, contrary to
liis usual costume, opposed this appropriation for
educational or scientific purposes. Sli . Crook gave
his reasons for so doing iu a long speech. He
thought the superfluities of the Treasury should
be lavished on the poverty stricken of the land:
those who could neither read or write, and were
unable to learn for the want of money, and not
poured in the coffers of scientific institutions for
the benefit of the wealthy wholly beyond the
reach of the great mass of the illiterate children ot
the land. He believed in a scientific education,
he had confidence in the skill and ability of the
medical profession, and wished to see th< so insti
tutions flourish, but he was opposed to promoting
their prosperity to the prejudice of tie poor, who
were as much entitled to, and needed far more the
aid of the Treasury.
Mr. Crook gave way to a motion to adjourn, re
serving the privilege of occupying the floor on
Monday.
On reading the Journals this morning, Mr.
Rumch, of Wavne, gave notice of his intention to
move a reconsideration of the vote of the House
adopting the resolution requiring of the State
Treasurer a report of the ;« ;• diem and mileage
paid members of the present and last General As
sembly.
Mr. Uumi’H, and Mr. llaynie, of Floyd, favored a
reconsideration for the purpose of striking out that
portion requiring a report d'the payincut of mem
bers of the last Legislature.
Mr. Paris, of Dade, opposed a reconsideration
and hoped, as a member of the last la gislatmv that
an investigation would he had in regard to the
pay of its members. He was informed, he said
that members had drawn under different rules. L
was right that the matter should be investigated
and understood. Home had drawn for as high as
eight hundred miles mileage us members of the
last Legislature, as ho was informed. This he
could not see through. He wauled kind* shown,
and the grubber, if there was one, caught and ex
hibited to the public, and constituency that sen;

Affairs with England.
Our relations with England are rapidly assuming
a grave and threatening character. In the unor
ganized condition of Congress, it is almost impos
sible to know what is transpiring in Washington,
so far as our foreign relations are concerned ; but,
intelligent persons at the Capitol have communica
ted with the press, in different localities, and there
seems to be remarkable unanimity in the state
ments they make.
Ist. The correspondent of the 'SmUi Side demo
crat-, (Petersburg, Va.) says:
“Rumors to-cay are rife that a meeting of the Cab
inet, held last night, at which it was decided to re
call Mr. Buchanan, and thus suspend diplomatic
intercourse with Great Britain. The last steamer
brought dispatches indicating a determination on
the part of the English Government to adhere to
its position relative to the questions at issue be
tween the two countries. The intelligence is sup
posed to have led to the action of the Cabinet last
night.”
2nd. The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
“Ion,” says:
The delay has not prevented the President from
; the exercise of his proper functions in relation to
i foreign affairs. lie sent an executive message to
i the Henate to-day, which was the subject of caffe
j sideruti <n in that body for some time. It may be
presumed that ir related to the subject which I
mentioned in nty letter yesterday, and none of
greater importance has ever been submitted to that
body or to this country in relation io our foreign
affairs.
The packet for Liverpool on Saturday will take
out a despatch to Mr. Buchannan that will test the
full extent of Lord Palmerston’s’irritabiliey.
It is already known to our government that Lord
Palmerston had stated that it would bring the
subject of American relations before the Parlia
ment upon their meeting, (to-morrow, the 16th,)
and urge upon that body an adherence to the posi
tions which the government had taken on these
subjects.
If Mr. Buchanan be withdrawn and diplomatic
intercourse suspended, it is very certain that inter
course will never he restored while Palmerston is
at the head of the ministry.
d. We publish below, almost entire, the letter
of the correspondent of the Charleston Courier:
Wasuim.ton, Jan. 16. -The President has con
ferred w ith a number of members of the House,
of 'different parties, and given them intimation as
to the present condition of our foreign relations,
which ought to induce them to complete their or
ganization.
Yesterday the Cabinet determined, after a long
sitting, to suspend diplomatic relations with Eng
land. This hold and decided, if not rash measure,
has been adopted for the reason that the President,
in the present condition of the House, cannot com
municate a special message upon the state of our
relations with England, to Congress.
It was his purpose to send in a message, stating
tliat the British Government had finally refused to
make any further explanation of their orders for
the prosecution of their recruiting services in this
country. In the annual message of the 31m ult.,
the President states that he would communicate to
Congress the result of the pending question upon
the enlisting case.
The final answer of the British Government
came out by the Atlantic. This ult 'wniimu, of the
British Government amounts not only to an utter
refusal of further explanation, but is accompanied
with a declaration from the head of the Govern
ment -Lord Palmerston - that lie will bring before
Parliament, upon it.-, meeting, the whole subject of
Am i r an affairs, and will advise tint; the Govern
ment shall adhere to the stand they have taken
upon the enlistment question and the Central
American question. The answer is considered bv
the Administration as rude, harsh, and unfriend
ly. One thing more was necessary to make it /«>»•-
. .nid that one thing has happened, as the Gov
ernment is advised the British Government have
again ordered another re-iuforcement for the West
India squadron.
Though no alarmist, yet knowing what is pass
ing in the Executive Government, 1 must say that
our affairs arc in a most critical position. You
will scarcely believe it, but it is a fact, that, yes
terday the Cabinet, after a prolonged session de
cided in favor of the suspension of diplomatic in
tercourse" with England. Mr. Buchanan is to be
withdrawn, with a declaration that no other Min
ister will he accredited to that Government, until
it shall assume a more friendly attitude towards
the United States. This course, as you may re
member, was adopted by our Government towards
France, during the administration of John Adams.
He suspended diplomatic intercourse, and in a
message to Congress declared thta he would not
resume it, until France was prepared to do us jus
tice. The result was that, through our Minister at
the Hague, an intimation was given that the
French Gov eminent was prepared to treat on more
liberal terms, and Messrs. Marshall, Pinckney and
Guert'v were sent out as Commissioners. Bur, in
this, ease, there is no probability that the British
Government will, while that “wild, wilful, blun
dering’' Palmerston, as Lord Grey’s friends used
to denominate him, shall remain at the head of the
M inistry.
From 7 rnefff <f- PotemiH'.e Circular.
Liverpool Cotton Market.
LiviotU'OOL, Dec. 28. Now that the year 1855 is
drawing u. a close, ii may not be oni oi 1 place brief
ly to notice some of the Leading incidents in the
eoiiou market during that period. The year open
'd with low prices, middling Orleans being at Oil.
per lb. After the first three mouths the supply
from America proving less than expectation, and
the effect of the war on trade hero being less dis
astrous than anticipated, prices rose rapidly with- j
out cheek, until in June, middling Orleans was at |
<>Js. It may, however, here be noticed as a most. (
curious fie 1 , that from the end of February to the !
end of April the trade bought 425,98" bales, and I
secured in that time a surplus stock of lot!,40" |
bales, with an advance of only per lb. From j
June to October prices gradually fell to 52j, but j
have since rallied to id . It was confidently pre
dicted during the wild speculation in the summer, I
that, as the stock in this port was gradually re- •
dined during the autumn, the advance would be:
v\ ithout limit; the result only shows how futile are
all calculations as to the future course of prices.
The trade began to work up the cotton in their
bands, and kept out of this market, the crop in
America gave promise ot in reused supply, money
became very dear, and every calculation was en
tirely Jup-et, so that with a stock little more
than the most sanguine foretold, prices art) giving
wav, and anxiety to ro.ilize is manifest. The paM
year lias shown that consumption continues large,
while the prices of fond is high, and that the war i
causes no apparent abatement in the demand for |
cotton fabrics. The actual stock will in- given out ;
on Monday; should it be more or less than the :
estimate, is of little consequence, while the mom y
market is so stringent.
The computed stock is 38t!,7i'i5 bales, against ]
551,54" on the S-.-sth December, ]ss4, a decrease of j
155,085 bales, and the consumption for the year j
has been 2,055,500 bales; in 1 5?,4, 1,839,250; in- j
croased consumption 216,300 by England.

OBITUARY.
Died, on the 12th ins!., at Hartford, Conti., Mrs.
Walter Stillm an.
In the death of the above, a large circle of friends
in this community are called to mourn the sadden
and melancholy loss of one, familiarly known to
them as Minna Bell, in whose character were min
gled the graces of the Christian, with the simplicity
and artlessness of a child. Circumstances in early
life, threw her among the gayest of the gay , in a
Southern metropolis, but while mingling in the
merry crowd, diffusing joy and gladness on all
around, that placid and serene, though thoughtful
countenance, at all times impressed the beholder
that higher, purer and holier thoughts were reign
ing within.
Thou art gone, thou beautiful one, to fairer and
brighter worlds ; and, sweet, though sad the scene,
where virtue died, where sunk thy soul to res!.
Then
“Peace-troubled soul, whose plaintive moan
Hath taught each scene the note of woe—
Cease thy complaint, suppress thy groan,
And let thy tears forget to flow.”

IMPORTANT REVELATIONS—LIFE AND DEATH.
1 TIIK MYSTERIES OF DISEASE EXPLAINED.
A gieat physical law, possessing the most important
influence over the health of the Dody, has been entirely
overlooked and neglected by the Medical Faculty.
WONDERFUL POWER OF TIIE R. R. R. REMEDIES
IN KEEPING THE BODY HEALTHY AND
FREE FROM PAIN.
[L7* EQUALIZE AND REGULATE.
03- EQUALIZE THE CIRC ULA T I ON.
CHAPTER I.
Equalizing the Circulation—The true method of pre
venting the establishment of Disease—Regulation the
only means of purifying the Blood and restoring the
sick to health—Quick efficacy of Railway's Ready
Relief and Radway’s Regulators, in cur ing the patient
of Coughs, Congestions. Rheumatism, Pneumonia.

Bronchitis, Asthma, Bud Headaches. Dyspepsia, Fever

IdFR AND DEATH.
It is the aim of most men to live healthy, and attain
a ripe old age. This, we claim, our R. R K. Remedies
will secure to those who arc now weighed down by dis
ease, or crippled with pains and aches, or other infirmi
ties. The K. R R. Remedies possess medical efficacious
and healing virtues, strengthening properties and life
prolonging powers, that have never before been given
to the wor d. They are founded on an entirely new
theory, and they > stablish new principles in the treat
ment of diseases that will enable all who use the R R
R.'s to resist, the most violent diseases and the most
destructive of peotih nts. They will render the human
body proof against disease, and will enable the afflicted
to secure for themselves sound health and long life.
It. R. K.
The reader will bear in mind that the R R. It. Rem
edies consist of three remedies, which are kuown as
RAHWAY'S READY RELIEF,
RADWAY : jS RE NOV ATINO RESOLYKNT,
R AI>VV AYS RE (} UI, A TORS.
With these three remedies, we are confident that we
can laftle disease in all its varied phenomena—no mat
ter by what name it is called, or how terrible it may
appear. We will, with these three simple remedies,
guarantee a speedy and effectual restoration of the hu
man body to sound and vigorous health, free from all
bodily pains, aches and infirmities.
HOW DISEASED ACTION BECOMES ESTABLISHED
AND THE BLOOD IMPURE.
A great erroi has long prevailed in the minds of med
ical men, ‘‘ That Impurity of the Blood is the Cause of
Diseased Action.” This is a serious mi take. It is a
disturbance of the circulation, and the establishment of
diseased action, that causes impurity of the blood.
The R. R R. theory holds the truth of the above max
ims, for if a person be in a state of perfect health, each
artery and vein must carry to and from the heart its
allotted proportion of b ood. and when any > t of ves
sels refuse v be the cause what it may) to carry then
proportion, the current of blood becomes dammed up—
iu other words, a congestion takes place.giving pain to
a greater or less extent Here, then, is the beginning
of diseased action, which, it not relieved, will soon run
into inflammation, and the disease becomes established.
Diseased action being once established, the blood be
comes impure, and the regularity of action on the part
of the Liver. Ski . Bowels, Ac , is sure to be interim ,t
--ed and the general system, by sympathising with the
local coinplaint, becomes involved iu the difficulty. That
this is the true state of the case, let any one call to mi d
his symptoms on catching cold. The local difficulty may
be a sore throat, which is a congestion of the blood,
amounting (sometimes) to an inflammation about the
throat, owing to a previous deranged state of the cir
culation, and he will remember that his bowels become
costive, his liver deranged, or his skin dry. and his blood
impure. Had he used ltadway's Ready Relief when the
congestion was setting in,as an application to the throat,
and swallowed a dose of the Regulators, lie would have
broken up the congestion, and restored the regularity
on the part of the liver, skin, bowels. Ac. which had
been broken in upon by the effects of the sore throat.
Regular tv being again established, the impure blood is
soon purified, and ihe circulation again equalized, and
the health restored.
HOW THE R. It. R. REMEDIES RAISED MRS. SA
RAH A. HOUGH, from a crippled and helpless con
dition, to sound health, after the skill of four of the
most learned Physicians in New York had failed to
relievo her—Prs. Parker. Reese Wardle and Maclelau.
READ HER LETTER.
• Jancarv 3, 1856.
Messrs. Radway & Co—l tried your Ready Relief,
and had my joints rubbed with it, and 1 never felt pain
after the first ten minutes. I was rubbed with it, up to
tho present time. Sirs, Ido not know what to compare
it to but a charm ; for it is & mystery to me. f was a
cripple for two years, and had not the proper use of my
limbs for three years. L was worn down to a skeleton. I
then commenced the use of your Ready Relief. Resol
vent and Regulators. The pain left me in ten minutes,
and I b gan to gain strength very fast, and could walk
with ease in a few weeks Before 1 heard of vonr Rem -
edies. I was taken to Dr Darker. Dr. Ree>o, Dr. W'ardle,
Dr. Maclelan, and many other physicians in this city. 1
cannot now remember. I was completely pulled to pieces
by them. Mv constitution was broken up with medi
cines that did me no good. I could not put a foot to
the ground, ror pick up a pin I was lifted and carried
up and down stairs like an infant ; and now, thank God !
by the uo of your Remedies, lam as strong as ever. 1
