By the Railroad, the rate is now 60 cents per bale for cotton, and by the river 40 cents. The river is in good boating order, and the railroad in fine condition. Congressional Proceedings. The unorganized condition of Congress, and the almost endless personal explanations, fruitless pro positions, and abortive voting—details of which we have published, so long as tve regarded such matters of interest to our readers—renders it al most unnecessary to say more than that Congress is still unorganized, with as much certainly about the result, as there existed seven weeks ago. There is a slight gleam of sun-rise, however, growing out of the proceedings of Congress yes terday. If all the candidates arc withdrawn and a fresh start made, we are not without hopes that there will be a Speaker before the close of the week. Who will he elected to the long contested office of Speaker, will furnish matter for specula tion and gossip, until the news travels the wires and the country is informed of the result. r-?r i .ater intelligence from the Indian region of Florida, inform us of other outrages, commit ted upon the lives and property of the white set tlers. The people are, however, now aroused to a proper sense of their danger, and the total re moval or extermination of the savages will follow. It is reported, that in case the Hon.

The biographical sketch of the poet Rogers, in the London Times, was written some live years since, in anticipation of his death, then expected. His biographer has been three years in the grave ! We clip the following from the Savanuah Repub lican, of the ;i3d inst.: The steamship Augusta, which arrived here yes terday, tram New Y»rk, brought $150,000 in specie for our city Banks. Yesterday was the coldest day of tlie season. The mercury stood at 21° at sunrise, and was be low freezing point throughout the day. A dispatch to the agent in this eity, announces the safe arrival of the steamship Florida, at New York, at three o’clock, P. M., yesterday. The steamship, State of (Georgia, is advertised to leave Philadelphia on the doth inst. for Charles ton, and, with the Keystone State, will form ;. weekly line for the South and Southwest, one o, the ships leaving Philadelphia every Saturday a ten o'clock in the morning, alternately, for Savau nah and Charleston. The passage on each ship, will be twenty dollars in the cabin, and eight dol lars m the steerage.

Iler numer ous frieuds, however, need give themselves no un easiness as to her whereabouts. She is doubtle-> fist bound, by icy cables, in the Delaware. [COMM VNIOATTII, I President Pierce. Mr. Gardner— l have noticed two articles, which have recently appeared in the Savannah Journal, one over the signature of “M.,” the other over tha, of “ A Planter,” urging the re-election of Presi dent Piepce, which must meet, in my humble judg ment, the hearty concurrence of every Southern and Southwestern man who is honestly devoted to the true interests of his section, and of every sound man everywhere in the w hole country who desires to see the Constitution and the Union, both pre served intact. With the exception of the unwise aud imprudent “Jlare up” of the New York Hards, there has been no fault found with the President worthy of notice. This was a tactions movement, aud has almost en tirely passed away, with the disappointed hopes that gave it birth. And in this, the truth was beautifully and forcibly illustrated, that a rigid and faithful adherence to principle, is stronger than any mere factious combinations, however poteut they may seem for a time. Whatever demagogue* or men who make politics a trade, may say to the contrary, there can be no doubt that President Pierce is more popular, in the true sense of that word, to-day, than he was when he was carried to the White House by the electoral colleges of twen ty-seven out of the thirty-one States. The differ ence in his popular vote will show this if ho make* the next race. The disgust which consert alive men of all par ties, in all sections of the Republic, are beginning to feel and exhibit ut that lawless aud reckless spirit of fanaticism which disgraces the freesoil and abolition party of the North—the threatening as pect that things are made to wear by reason of their present numerical strength iu the National House of Representatives, viewed iu connection with the fact that Gen. Pierce is himself a North ern man. aud vet, as President of the whole peo ple, does not hesitate, ns shown by his late able message, to “ Board the Lion in his den, The i Fred. 1 Douglas in his Hall," aud discharge faithfully and fearlessly his whole duty under the Constitution. 1 sav that all these facts, and the considerations naturally suggested bv them, point to President Pierce as the man for the occasion. The popular heart demands his re election, and all we have to do, as a party, to in sure this result, is to nominate him, at Cincinnati, in June next. What say you to this? Let the Democratic party, in Georgia at least, show their hands on this subject. While 1 entertain as high respect for the many bright names iu our party who have been mentioned in connection with this office, as any other man, still my conviction is strong and decided, that President Piekci is the man whom a sound policy and a wise and conserv ative patriotism would, at this particular juncture of affairs, designate above all others. Let him be our ; candidate for President, and the Hon. A. H. Ste phens for Vice President, and all the combined factions and isms iu the whole country will give wa;, before their triumphal march. U. j Names Suggested for President and Vice i President. We cheerfully publish the communication of our correspondent “H,” one of the most staunch and intelligent Democrats of middle Georgia. In doing so, however, our only object is to atford evidence of j what is goiug on in the minds of others on the ; subject of the Cincinnati Convention nominations, as indicative of the current of public sentiment iu Georgia. It is not our purpose to take ground in advance fur any ticket that may be named. I While, however, we say this, tve freely eoueede ! that many patriotic and enlightened considerations concur to give force to the claims urged by “H” ■ iu favor of the nomination of the distinguished cit izens named by him. The claims of General Uieuce, oil the whole country, for his eminently patriotic, manly aud statesmanlike administration under circumstances of peculiar embarrassment, will not be lost sight of by the Convention. In j fact, it is not easy to conceive the grounds of ex j pediency or justice, on which that body could agree i upon any other nomination. General I’iercb is evidently the favorite, at least of the South, for the nomination. But the Southern delegates should not close their ears to arguments, if any be offered at Cincinnati, in favor of some other nomination. The South should be abundantly content, if she gets the principles recognized by that Convention, on which she insists as essential in the administration of the Government, which recognition is a sine qua non of her co-operation. For a like reason, it is a question of doubtful propriety for Georgia io put in a bid for the se cond office for one of her own sons. Her position is now a commanding one, as she has undertaken to indicate the principles which that Convention should adopt as the price of her co-operation. It would weaken her influence at the same time to appear as a suitor for one of the high places of the government for one of her sons. There is no doubt Mr. Stephens is one of Geor gia’s most popular, as he is one of her uiost dis tinguished citizens, and his very eminent and effi cient services to Georgia, to the South, and the Union in the great crisis of the day, involving the Constitution and its most sacred principles, present him prominently to the whole country as one of her most deserving sons. Our position is, Georgia could gracefully and properly respond to the call of other States upon one of her sons to run for the Vice Presidency, should their delegates in the Cincinnati Conven tion make it, but her own delegates ought not to take the initiative. “Chaos has come again.” ■ The Washington Organ has created a model plat form for the American or Know Nothing party. Here it is: “And now what are ‘American principles?’ For what purpose was the American party formed? What is the ultimate scope of its objects ? Has it anything to do with the tariff question? No—it neither demands a horizontal nor a protective ta riff. Has it any creed on the question of banks? No—it neither advocates a National Bank, State banks, nor a sub-Treasury. Has it any creed on the questions of roads, canals, harbors, or public lands? None whatever. It leaves these questions to the free action of the Representatives of the peo ple, or to the States! Has the American party formed to enslave the African race? Certainly not. Was it formed to get up a crusade against those who koM Africans in bondage? Certainly not. It is then, as a party, neither pro-bank nor a/i#t-bai’k, pre-tariff nor an?i-t*ritf, pro-internal im provement nor u/fft-interual improvement, pro slavery nor (i/iti-slavery, but it is a party formed to carry into effect, the maxim that ‘ Americans shall rule America.’ ’’ A party constituted upon such a basis, and presenting such a non-committal course to the consideration and support of the people of the United States, should receive the condemna tion of all. It is alike an insult to patriotism as well as to intelligence. It is insulting, not alone because it authorizes the opinion that this country is not governed by Americans, but further, that we should not make important measures the test of party regulation. A national party, without well defined national principles, is a political absurdity, and could not have a more appropriate designation than that of a Know Nothing party. From tht Federal Union. Mr. Henry M. Fuller, His Politcal Friends and Antecedents. As Messrs. Trippe and Foster, with several other Southern Know Nothings, have been voting for this gentleman for several weeks fur Speaker, we propose to show who are his political friends and supporters, and what are his real sentiments. In doing this, we shall avail ourselves of the testi mony of Mr. Caruthers, a Whig member of Con gress from Missouri. Our readers will recollect that these statements were made upon the floor of Congress iu the presence of Mr. Fuller, and neith er i bat gentleman nor any of bis friend* presumed to deny a single word of what is here said; we will let Mr. Caruthers speak for himself: “ I desire to state at this time, aud in the pre sent connection, in order that what I may remark mav go out with the observations of rny colleague md friend ; and I am proud to call him such, the easou* why I have not, do not, and never will, rote for the distinguished gentleman from Penn -ylvania, (Mr. Henry M. Fuller . I could not vole .or Mr. Fuller: and 1 believe that we are allowed ii call members by tbeii proper names before the organization, because, while a member of the last Congress, 1 knew, and now remember, that hroughout the Kausas-Nebraska tight, in every - age of that trying contest, his predecessor, the .ion. llendrick 11. Wright, stood fast by us, was me of us; aud; sir, before Iliad cast "a vote, I found that the distinguished gentleman from Pennsylvania, (Fuller) had come here as his suc essor from a Democratic district, and because of uis triumph over Mr. Wright in consequence of bis ■ote on the Kausas-Nebraska bill at the lust ses sion. I could not rote for him then, on the first vote. When the first vote was taking, I watched its progress, because many of the gentlemen with whom J was previously associated were disposed o vote for Mr. Fuller. In that very first vote, i when we were casting our votes for the purpose of j making up a record, and when he had the entire j House from which to seleet, I saw that gentleman ! brow bis suffrage for Mr. Pennington, of New j Jersey. I remembered tlieu, that al the last Cor.- j gross Mr. Pennington bad voted to suspend the ! rules with a view of affording Mr. Eliot, of Mas- 1 sachusetts, an opportunity to introduce a bill to j repeal the fugitive slave law. When Mr. Fuller could take a northern or a ! southern man—when be could select a conserva tive man for whom to cast his vote—l saw him ; rote for a man who had been in favor of allowing | the privilege to introduce a bill to repeal the fugi- | live slave law. I could not vote for him. Mr. Pennington, on that vote, voted for Mr. Campbell, j of Ohio, a gentleman, by-the-by, for whom 1 en- ' tertain, as he knows, the most propound respect ; personally, but whom I regard as the embodiment of northern sentiment on the slavery question, i Another vote was had. Mr. Fuller voted for Mr. i Pennington ; aud Mr. Pennington on the third j vote, voted for Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, who is not only the embodiment of Freesoil Democracy, ' but, it seems, also of northern Americanism tuid ; of ultra northern republicanism. Mr. Pennington 1 voted for Mr. Banks upon that ballot, aud Mr. Ful ler voted for Mr. Pennington after he had voted j for Mr. Banks, and for sixteen times. I sat in ; mv seat and saw Mr. Fuller, after Mr. Penning ton bad voted for Mr. Campbell and Mr. Banks, east bis vote sixteen times for Mr. P» nningtou. j Could I, sir, as true to the principles of the Ne braska bill, upon which I was elected—as true to the State to which I owe allegiance—as true to the 1 constituents who sent me here upon the Nebraska issue —could l vote for a man with such a record as that ? Again, in another part of his speech Mr. Caruth ers refers to Mr. Fuller’s position upon the Nebras ka bill, and says that gentleman declared in an swer to the enquiry ot Mr. .Sage, of New Fork, that he was opposed to the Nebraska bill, and was in favor of the restoration of the Missouri restric tion, if it could be done. We give his own words: lie replied that he as in favor of the restora tion of the Missouri restriction; that if he had been in the last Congress, he would have been op posed to the Jvansas-Nebraaka bill; and that he was in favor of restoring the Missouri restriction, if it could be done, but as it could not be done, as a practical statesman, he was against all agita tion. With all these proofs of black Abolition associ ations in their candidate before their eyes, Messrs. Foster and Trippe have cast their votes for Henry M. Fuller, who, according to the testimony of Mr. Caruthers, another Southern Whig, is as’rile an enemy to the South as Bank* himself. Here is a programme: Pennington votes for Banks, Fuller votes for Pennington, and Foster and Trippe vote for Fuller. This is a true picture of the great Na tional Know Nothing snake whose head is in .Mas sachusetts with his tail in Georgia. Pr. Thaddeus William Harris, the well known Librarian of Harvard College, died at Cambridge on Wednesday. He was sixty years of age, and was pronounced by the learned Professor Agassiz to be “decidedly the best entomologist in the world.” From the ChronieU & Sentinel. Franklin College—Professor LeConte. Mr. Editor— Dear Sir: Dr. LeConte has again j appeared before the public, and reiterates the as- I sertion that he and other officers in Franklin Col- j lege have resigned their positions in the Institu- j tion, in consequence of the unpleasantness of an | association with me. I see nothing of any importance, in the Doctor’s second edition, except the testimony of Mr. Pond j and that of President McC'ay. And with a remark j or two concerning the genera! subject, and the ; same concerning his two witnesses in particular, I am willing to refer every individual to my former ' reply to him, and abide' the decision of an intelli- j gent public. And in the first place, 1 remark that this com- j plaint, respecting my intercourse with the officers of the College is wholly confined to a family con nection, President MeCay, Dr. Jones, his brother in-law, and Mr. Pond, brother-in-law of l)r. Jones, and John LeC ntc, cousin of Dr. Jones, and Mrs. Pond. Here were four members of the Faculty, so close ly connected that their every act then and since, lias shown that the interest of one was the interact of all. And no one, lam sure, who has read with any interest the productions of these men, can fail to perceive that the testimony of one is the testi mony of every other, and that they have not pro duced the slightest proof from any other source. Other gentlemen have served with me in the Fac ulty, and some of them many years—-they are "hon orable men, and if an association with me had been so unpleasant, it is hardly to be supposed that some of them would not hava made it known. The gentlemen of the Trustees, residing in Athens, have known me intimately—some of them for more than thirty years. They have lived with me as citizens in our peaceable, moral and religious com munity—have felt a deep interest in the College as citizens and as Trustees, and many of them educa ted their sons under my administration. The whole Board of Trustees, composed of men of the highest character and sternest integrity, who have long been entrusted with the supervision and control of the Institution, who have been well ac quainted with its officers, and who have annually assembled ai Athens to look into its affairs, could not have been ignorant of so serious an evil if it existed. Could Professor after Professor have been driven from the College for cause such as Dr. Le- Coute has asserted, and the Trustees be ignorant of it ? I have been more than thirty-six years con nected with the College, more than twenty-six of which were in my present position. Dr. LeConte and President MeCay have been the first, and with some of their connections, the only individuals to accuse me of “cruel, mean and arbitrary conduct,” and virtually to accuse the Board of 'Trustees, of either gross and inexcusable ignorance, or of gross er and unpardonable neglect of duty. And let it be remembered, that Dr- Jnsei h LeConte, the brother of Dr. John, is still a member of the Fac ulty, and has been for more than three years. One other subject may be noticed, viz : “ that the standard of scholarship has been sadly lowered since the resignation of Prof. MeCay.” This is un true, and utterly without foundation, Dr. LeConte himself being witness. Much the larger number of our students enter the Sophomore Class, at the first and secoud terms. The first examiuation, therefore, of the Sophomore Class, after entering College, is the best test of the preparation which much the larger number of students hud made when they entered College. The following is ex tracted from the Records of the Faculty, kept by Dr. J. LeConte, from 1849 to August, 1 855 : “ Average of the Examinations ot the Sophomore Classes from 1849 to 185.3, inclusive—Bo.s—B4.o— These classes were admitted while Professors MeCav and John LeConte were members of the Faculty. The class of 1855, is the class which, Dr. LeConte says, most strikingly illustrates the sad lowering of the scholarship ; and yet the average of this is 87.3 —higher than four out of five of the classes admitted success, while both McCay and LeConte were members of the Faculty. As, however, President McCay ha 3 magnani mously stepped forward as a witness to suctain his “ dear friend,” I will ask the public to look at his testimony, as presented in his two letters. Af ter serving with me twenty years, and being about to resign, he addressed to me the first of the two letters found below, and after an absence of two years, he writes and authorizes the publication o( the second. 1 submit these letters to the publie, and am will ing for that public to deaidc how much credence is io be reposed in the man who could write them. And I apprehend no honorable man, after reading them, will doubt the declaration of President Mc- Cay, when he asserts that “it was extremely un pleasant for him to associate with a man, of whose private worth and purity of character he entertain ed a high opinion.” But here are the letters: Athens, Dec. 15, 1853. “ Rev. Alonzo Church, 1). D.— President Uni versity of Goergia—Pear Sir: In presenting, through you, my resignation, I embrace this op portunity of thanking you for the kindness you have shown me while 1 have been an officer in College, and of expressing my high opinion of your talents and ability, and of your private worth and puritv of character, as a man and a Christian. “Very sincerely yours, Ac., Ac., C. F. McCay.” “Columbia, S. C., Dec. 24, 1855. My Dear Dr. LeConte: You ask mo whether “one of the chief considerations that induced me to resign” my Professorship at Athens, was the “unpleasantness of an official association with Dr. Church.” In reply I would state, that during mv long'connection with Franklin College, 1 had vari ous difficulties with the Doctor, in some of which very angry feelings were indulged, and very bitter words passed between ns. Sonic of these difficul ties lasted lor several weeks, and some for several months. They were, however, all terminated be fore 1 resigned, by mutual explanations and mu tual forgiveness. It can hardly be supposed, how ever, that after such repeated reconciliations, a cordial or hearty good-will existed between us. On the contrary, although at the time of my resig nation a kind feeling did in fact exist. Dr. Church's Macon letter shows that he was dissatisfied with me in three or four important particulars, gome of these I then knew ; some l suspected; and some I was ignorant of. But the apprehension I felt that our recent reconciliation would be temporary, and that our courteous intercourse would he soon interrupted again, was one of the main causes that induced me to resign. I freely mentioned this at the time to some of my intimate friends at Athens; and though I had no wish to make the public ac quainted with these motives, ns you, mv friend, have asked me for them, I cannot refuse to come forward and sustain you You have, therefore, mv permission to state in any way you may think pro per, that one of the chief considerations that in duced me to resign, was the extreme unpleasant ness of an official association with I)r, Church. Very sincerely yours, C. F. McCat.” The above are a beautiful specimen of that “jewel consistency.” A. Church. I hope papers which have published Dr. Le- Conte’s letter, wiil nlso give the above an inser tion. Mainr.—The message of Gov. Wells, to the Legislature, contains several suggestions of general interest. He remarks upon the subject of slavery, looking to colonization in Africa as the best inode of gradual emancipation, and concludes by saying: “ The Southern people are subject to the burden of slavery; they know how to treat it better than we do, and it is alike alien to patriotism and a true sense of religious duty, to inflame the minds of Southern citizens and aggravate their condition by a constant course of censure and an unnecessary interference with their affairs.” A paragraph is devoted to the Missouri compro mise line, and the Governor thinks the time will soon come when few will desire its restoration. The J udiciary and the naturalization laws receive attention, and upon the latter point the Governor makes the following remarks: “The true policy of our State is to encourage the introduction of foreign labor. Every full-grown person who is able and willing to labor, adds very much to the riches of a State.' It is not creditable to its, who, in tracing our ancestry for two or three generations, find them to be persons born in for eign lands, to awaken prejudices against foreign ers. This country was made for the down-trod den and oppressed of all nations. By liberal laws we have invited foreigners to our shores, and there are hardships enough incident to their exile from their native homes, without the imposition of new and onerous regulations, causing unnecessary dis quiet and vexation, in their effort* to avail them selves of the benefit of those laws.” The act passed hv the last Legislature to prevent ony person holding office under the laws of Maine from aiding in the apprehension of fugitive slaves, the Governor condemns. “But, in any event, all such laws are objectiona ble. They indicate a disposition to escape from our constitutional obligations. We ought not to enjoy all that is agreeable in our national relations while we repudiate what is uncongenial to our tastes. We should never give our consent to a law which is not required by strong necessity, when it is directly calculated to create an animosity be tween the inhabitants of different States.” Power of Tins Moon at Night.—Mr. Crane in his “letters from the East,” has observed; “The effect of the moonlight on the eyes in this country. (Egypt,! is singularly injurious. The natives tell you, as I afterwards found they did in Arabia, to always cover vour eyes when you sleep in the open a;r. It is rather strange that the passage in the P aalms—‘The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by ’night,’ should not have been’ thus illustrated, as’ the allusion seems direct. The moon here really strikes and affects the sight, when you sleep exposed to it, much more than the sun; a fact of which I had a very unpleasant proof one night, and took care to guard against afterwards. Indeed, the sight of a person who should sleep with his face exposed at night, would soon be im- t paired or utterly destroyed.”— Qrayoiy. From the Maeon Journal and Messenger.
