River News.
The river was at nine ami a half feet, by the
mark, at sun-down last evening. Freight by the
river, on Colton, is reduced to fifty cents per bale.
The Central American Difficulty.
The great interest attaching to this subject, and
the important results that may grow out of it will
doubtless render the publication of the speeches of
Mr. Clayton and Gen. Cass in the United States
Senate, acceptable to our readers. Mr, Clayton’s
speech, especially, gives a graphic historical pic
ture of British perfidy, and places before us, beyoud
question, the true interpretation ol the Clavtox-
Bulwbr treaty.
Dickens’ Holly-Tree Inn.
We have received, from T. B. Peterson, Phila
delphia, a copy of Dickens’ Hew Christmas and
New Year’s Store, for 185*3. it is rather late for a
Holy-day story, but Charles Dickens’ works read
well and afford amusement and instruction at any
time.
Cold Weather.
We have experienced quite a cold and disagree
able condition of tlie weather for the past few
days. Yesterday the thermometer stood, at 7
o’clock, A. M., at 24 ; at 2, P. M., 32; and at 8
o’clock, last night, at 31)\ The wind was duo West
all day. Some of the young men are amusing
themselves in skating exercises, on frozen places
on the commons, but the great mass of our popu
lation are enjoying themselves at their homes, in
warm apartments.

The Savannah Republican, of yesterday,
says:
“We were in error yesterday in stating that the
hark K. Shultz, which left this port for Charleston
the 2sth ultimo, had not since been heard from.
She arrived safely, and at last accounts was about
completing her cargo for another trip.
“The Wm. Hitchcock. —We have already made
mention of the burning of this ship at sea, while
on her way from Savannah to Havre with a cargo
of cotton." We gather the following particulars
concerning her from a northern exchange :
“The cargo of the Wm. Hitchcock consisted of
two thousand two hundred and fifty bales of cot
ton, and was valued at about $112,000. Os the
above number, we hear one thousand six hundred
bales are insured in France ; the remainder, six
hundred and fifty bales, or a large portion of it, is
insured in Wall street. The W. 11 was an A 1 1 4
vessel, of six hundred and ninety-three tons regis
ter, built at Newcastle, Me., in 1848, owned by
Bogert & Kneeland, valued at $32,000, and fully
covered bv insurance, as also the freight money,
in New York. The ship was consigned to the
Havre branch of the house of Messrs. 1 .aliens A:
Co., of New York.”.
Washington Rumor*.
We published, yesterday, several extracts from
letters of Washington correspondents, in relation
to a meeting of the Cabinet, the withdrawal of Mr.
Been anas’, and the recall of Mr. Cramptox, «fcc.
Below we insert, a partial correction of some of
the rumors which we find iu the Washington L moo,
of the 19th inst:
From the Washington' Union.
Our Diplomatic Relations with England.
The following extract of a late letter of one of
the correspondents of the Baltimore San, has been
quoted and commented on by the National Intelli
gencer as containing reliable information:
“ The cabinet have had under consideration the
expediency of suspending diplomatic intercourse
with England, as a mode ot resenting the refusal
of the British Government to afford reparation to
the United States for the alleged violation of our
laws and natural rights by recruiting troops in this
country.”
We think we can safely assure the editors of the
Intelligencer that no such question as the suspen
sion of diplomatic intercourse with Great Britain
has been before the cabinet. Our relations with
that Government are certainly delicate, and per
haps critical, but the proposed withdrawal of our
minister is not amongst the evidences going to in
dicate the delicacy of those relations, if we might
indulge in a conjecture on so grave a matter, we
should venture the opinion that the action of our
government in asking the recall of Mr. Orampton
and the consuls implicated in the recruitment of
soldiers for the Crimea furnishes the oniv founda
tion for the statement quoted above. Whilst wo
desire bv this correction to avoid any unfounded
apprehensions of an impending difficulty with
Great Britain, we cannot deny that there are seri
ous questions of difference between the two gov
ernments which ought to be thoughtfully consid
ered bv these members of Congress who are ob
structing the organization of the House. Our
neighbors of the InteUujeiu’tr made an appeal on
this subject, which is worthy of attention.
We are informed that the negro Henry, who lias
been runaway from his owner several months, was
shot on Monday night last near Gainsville. It is
said he was well armed, with revolver and knife.
Henry was the property of Mr. Thomas P. Junes,
of Green county, in this Suite. We are not posted
as to the particulars in reference to the death of
the boy, other than his being found prowling
about the premises of the individual who shot him.
Dahlonega Signal, Jan. 19.
BY TELEGRAPH.
Our Foreign Relations.
Washington, Jan. 22.—The following statement
in reference to our Foreign Relations may be re
lied upon as authentic and official. The American
Government has demanded tlie recall ot Mr.
Cramptox. Mr. Buchanan will not be recalled ex
cept at his own request. No Special Message re
lative to Foreign Affairs has been contemplated by
the President, nor lias such a message been the
subject of Cabinet deliberations. Mr. Boyce's re
solution was offered to-day without tlie previous
knowledge of the Executive. Negotiations be
tween the United States and Great Britain are still
open.
Congressional.
Washington, Jan. 22d. -In the House to-day
Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina offered a resolution
to the effect that our critical relations with Great
Britain demanded a union of all the conservatives
in the House for the election of a Speaker. The
balloting, however, resulted in no choice.
Further by the Washington.
New York, Jan. 22—The long contemplated al
liance between Spain and the Allied Powers has at
last been consummated, tlie former agreeing to
send a contingent of ten or twenty thousand men
to the Crimea, and the latter guaranteeing to Spain
her territorial possessions, especially Cuba.
Enter from lln>ti.
Philadelphia, Jan. 22.—Later advices from
Hayti confirm the accounts of the reeent battle.
The Emperor Shoulongne had fled, and a reward
of ten thousand doubloons had been offered for his
apprehension. If caught, he would probably be
hung, as his own subjects were greatly exaspera
ted against him.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Milleiigrvillb, Jan. 21st 185*3.
SENATE.
Mr. Alrkad, of Pickens, moved a reconsidera
tion of the action of the Senate on the bill reduc
ing, the Senate, and providing for annual sessions
of the General Assembly. The motion was lost.
Yeas 31 —nays 53.
Mr. Miller’s resolution fixing tbo hours for
meeting at nine A. M., three P. M., and seven at
night, was agreed to.
The bill introduced by Judge Cone before the
recess, altering, amending and codifying the stat
utes of limitation, was taken up, considered bv
sections, amended in various respects, after a
thorough and careful discussion of every portion
of it, by the ablest lawyers on the floor, and pass
ed. As soon as I can obtain an authentic trans
cript of the bill, as amended, it shall he forwarded
for insertion. The changes which are made bv it
in the periods of limitation, and its recognition
and adoption of new legal principles in controver
sion ol old judicial maxims, will probably interest
the public whose interests are effected by it, and
the profession whose practice is altered.
The friends of the “ Georgia Military Institute
bill,” exceedingly anxious to have its fate settled
immediately, succeeded this afternoon in getting
it before the Senate.
On motion of Dr. Screven, of Chatham, the bill
was amended so as to require a complete transfer
of the entire property of the Institution to the
State; and limiting the cost of the stock, to be
held by the State in the Institute, to twenty-five
hundred dollars.
On motion of Mr. Calhoun, of Pulton, the bill
was further amended so as to free the State from
any liability for the debts of the Institution, and
to reserve to successive Legislatures the liberty of
refusing the annual appropriation of fivo thousand
dollars, as given in the bill.
Mr. Hardeman, of Bibb, substitute mak
ing a donation of a sufficient amount to cancel the
debts of the Institution, and an appropriation of
live thousand dollars to erect suitable collegiate
buildings.
He said he was opposed to making it a State In
stitution, was willing for it to prosper and thrive,
and was ready to advance it with State money,
buEheJwanieil appropriations, however, liberal to be
unquestionably specific, and then we would know
when we were done aiding.
He wished the blank in his substitute filled
with an ample amount, and then he wished to
stop.
Mr. Miller moved to insert twenty-five thous
and. Lost. This was no test vote. Many friends
of the bill voted against the insertion. Being very
sanguine as"to the safety .of the original, which
was preferable to them, they were willing to risk
the adoption of the substitute with a smaller
amount.
The Senato adjourned without proceeding fur
ther.
HOUSE.
BILLS INTRODUCED.
By Mr. Sapp, of Whitfield— A bill to give the
election of City Marshal, Clerk, and Treasurer, of

ence over others iu granting lands under the Head
Rights laws; and conferring on occupants of un
granted lands, who survey the same within three
months after having received a written notice from
the county Surveyor of the intention of some one
else to do so, a paramount right to a grant to such
land. The County Surveyor is entitled to a fee of
one dollar for giving this notice.
By Mr. Warthen, of Washington. -A bill au
thorizing a levy of an extra tax of five thousand
dollars for each of the years 1356, ’57 and ’SB, for
county purposes, by the Justices of the Inferior
Court of said county.
By Caldwell, of Walker —A bill incorporating
a railroad company, to construct a road from some
point on the Western and Atlantic Railroad, at or
near Johnson, to the town of Lafayette, m Walker
county. The company to be called the Lookont
I Railroad Company. Capital four hundred thou
sand dollars.
By l)r. Phillips, of Habersham—A bill to re
duce the stock of the Dalton and Gadsden Railroad
Company to three hundred thousand dollars, with
the privilege of increasing, as necessity may re
quire for the completion of the Road.
By Mr. Smith, of Union—A bill appropriating
ten thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may

site of the Light House in the city of Savannah.

By Mr. Wood, of Fannin A bill to incorporate
the Georgia Baptist Convention.
The biß giving the city authorities of Atlanta,
the entire control of the retail traffic in spiritous
liquors was passed, after having been amended so
as to submit the question to the legal voters of the
city ; to be determined by endorsement of ratifica
tion or disapproval on their tickets.
Mr. Terhune sought to kill the hill by numerous
restraining amendments, all of which were decisive
ly voted down. If finally passed by a large ma
jority of the legal voters of the city of Atlanta, it
becomes a law; if not, a nullity.
The Elijav Railroad bill was taken up. Mr.
Pickett, of Gilmer, offered a substitute basing the
aid to be given on the same terms as that of the
Brunswick Road. Mr. Smith, of Union, opposed
the hill and Mr. Pickett, of Gilmer, favored it.
Both the gentlemen made fervent speeches, mani
festing a deep feeling. The hour for adjourning
arrived, and the bill was necessarily left undisposed
of. The rules of the House provide for the enter
tainment of other matter in the afternoon, and the
discussion will be resumed on to-morrow. Proba
bly Mr. Crook’s suggestion may yet bo carried out,
and this bill postponed until the “Brunswick bill” is
disposed of. Mr. Crook urged its postponrnent in
a short speech. He thought the principle involved
in both bills the same, that the Brunswick and
Florida Road was of far superior importance,
and that it should first be acted on.
Tlie bill appropriating money for the endow
ment of the Atlanta and Savannah Medical Col
leges, which was left on Saturday evening last to
be called up this morning as “unfinished business”

nor in any way offer to sell, or give away, any
quantity of spirituous liquors within one mile of
the place where a general election is being held, or,

violator of the oath prescribed, is made subject to
indictment, conviction and punishment for perjury.
Applicants are also required to pay the sum of
fifty dollars into the county Treasury, audjpresent
a receipt for it before the license issues. The bill

grant,” Ac.

than the lawful interest, and to prevent them from
buying without the limits of this State such paper
on the citizens of the same. N.
Tim Influence of Storms.— Speaking of the
barometrical phenomena of the lato severe storm
in Boston, the Traveller says:
“ This storm is another example of the correct
ness of the remark frequently made in this paper,
that whenever the barometer falls with a northerly
wind, a change in weather, and generally bad
weather, may bo expected. Indeed, after many
years’ observations on this instrument, no other of
its indications seems so reliable as this. The state
ments or predictions too often engraved on the face
of this instument, such as, fair, settled fair, stormy,
rain, Ac., are worse than useless, as they are cal
culated to deceive the inexperienced. Indeed, they
are as unfounded as the ridiculous predictions of
the weather, yet inserted in some almanacs. It
j is hoped, therefore, that they may he omitted
from every barometer that may hereafter be con
structed.”
From the Memphu Appeal , Jan 13.
Death of Maj. R. A. Williamson.
We have the sad duty to record the melancholy
and horrible death of this estimable man-Maj. li. A.
Williamson, Superintendent’of the Memphis and
Ohio Railroad. This fearful accident occurred ves
day morning about o’clock, some sixteen miles
from town, on the ‘‘Hatchie Bridge,” over the wa
ters known as Griffin’s creek, some three hundred
yards from Shelby depot. Mr. W. was on the
train as it passed the bridge, and in the hindmost
| car, as it is supposed that he placed his head far
i out of the train’s passage, and was looking back
j ward when his head came in contact with a post of
! the bridge, killing him instantly. His body fell
| from the car into the water below, and no one m
! the train was uoticing his position at the time of
! the accident, the train passed on without diseover
-1 mg it.
Maj. W. was a native of Baltimore, and has long
j been known as connected with important railroad
: enterprises in our country. For many years he
i had been engaged on the Memphis and Charleston
1 road, giving much of life and impetus to the same,
when he resigned his position and was placed in
j the Bunn: official capacity over un important rail
| road in Georgia.
