GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
MIU.EDGUVJI,I,E, Jail, 22d 1350
SENATE.
The Senate has been engaged in the considera
tion of the “Georgia Military Institute bill”
throughout most of the day. When I closed yes
terday, the substitute ottered by Mr. Hardeman, of
Bibb, making a donation to the Institution of such
amount as the Legislatu; e might insert. Repeated
motions were made to fill the blanks, with twentv
live, twenty, nineteen, fifteen, and eight thous
and dollars. All these were voted down, and the
substitute postponed until the first of next Septem
ber.
The original bill was taken up by sections, and
gone through with to the third section. This sec
tion was re-committed. Here the measure stands.
Speeches were made by Messrs. Baxter, Screven,
Long, Pekpi.es, Buchan'an, Pope and Moore, in
favor of the original bill; by Judge Conk, in oppo
sition to the original and in support of Harde
man’s substitute and by Mr. Billups, of Morgan,
against the bill, the substitute, and the whole
measure. This is generally conceded to have been
the best speech made during the session. Mr.
Billups is a fluent, graceful, dignified, and forcible
orator, a man of polished education, and practical
sense. Feeling a profound interest in the bill, and
standing almost alone in his antagonism to it,
(judging from the positions assumed by those
who had preceeded him, ) his full powers were call
ed into requisition, and well, ably and effectively,
did lie acquit himself. The hammer of the presid
ing officer could not restrain the expression of the
approbation of Senators and the audience. The
lull was very ablv advocated by the gentlemen
named. It is, however, in “a sickly state” at pre
sent, as its friends evidently think. After under
going some change in committee, it may vet pass.
Unless an alteration is made, it will be inevitably !
lost. The most objectionable features in it are the ]
appropriation of five thousand annually, and mak
ing the Institute a State College.

HOUSE.
Mr. Terhi.nk, of Floyd, moved a reconsideration
of yesterday’s vote on the bill giving the City Au
thorities of Atlanta the control of the Liquor
Traffic. Lost.
'1 he Elijav Railroad bill was the source of a
lengthy debate between Messrs. Pickett, of Gilmer,
Wood, of Fannin, Phillips, of Habersham, and |
Crook, of Chattooga, in favor of, and Messrs.
Smith, of Union, Ward, of Butts, Jones, of Mus- 1
cogee, and Haymk, of Floyd, in opposition to the j
bill. Mr. Sherman moved to include the Thomas- ,
ton and Barnesville Road. The call for the pre
vious question cut off this amendment.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, offered a substitute to i
create a Board of Commissioners, making the
Governor ex ujfu'io President of the Board, ap
pointing certain gentlemen namedpn his substitute
its members, and submitting to their determina
tion the settlement of the “State Aid question.” !
That :s, it provided that they should recommend to
the next Legislature the passage of such Railroad
bills as they might deem proper. The substitute ;
was ruled out of order. The bill was lost. If a :
mortgage on a road is a sufficient security to the
State, for the mere loan of its credit, why did not
the patriotic gentlemen, who are so anxious to
“develop the resources of the Empire State of the j
South,” come up to the suppost of this measure,
and let Northern Georgia participate in the advan
tages of State subscriptions?
But little el>e was done in the House. The dis
cussion of this bill consumed most of the inorn- !
ing.
In the afternoon, more than a dozen local and pri
vate bills were introduced and read the first time.
A resolution was agreed to, directing the Com- 1
mittee on the State of the Republic to inquire into
the right of Georgia to several Islands in Savan- j
nah river, opposite to Effingham, and other adja
cent river counties. N. '

In How Cold Weather can Animal Lite
be Sustained t
While we are waiting for Dr. Kane's official re
port of his las! expedition to the Arctic Ocean, there
are some scientific results, the publication of which
we may be permitted to anticipate. The first of
these is the conditions of animal and vegetable life |
in a high northern latitude.
Dr. Kane’s party succeeded in reaching latitude :
eighty degrees, a higher northern point upon the 1
const of Greenland than had yet been attained by
any previous navigator. He found inhabiting this
inhospitable region the Esquimaux Indian, the j
reindeer, and many varieties of the tioral world,
principally of the Alpine species. The latter were
numerous, but diminutive. How far north the hu
man race and animals exist, is not known ; but Dr.
Kane’s observations clearly establish the fact, that
the extreme cold of latitude eighty is not the limit j
to their northern migration.
The habits of the Esquimaux arc peculiar. They
are essentially a migratory people, and with sledges j
drawn by dogs, undertake journeys of hundreds i
of miles in extent, depending for their subsistence
upon such nourishment as chance throws in their j
way. This the little party under Dr. Kane found ]
to be sufficiently abundant to meet their own
wants.
During the whole cruise they were never serious
ly in want of food but on one occasion, which was |
when on their return they were nearing Melville |
bay. Here, fortunately, a fine fat Seal presented j
itself, stretched at length on the ice. A boat was
manned to go in pursuit of it, and Dr. Kane des- ,
eribes the excitement of the chase as so intense, j
tiiat one of the most experienced gunners of the ,
party could hardly command himself sufficiently !
to fire at it until the boat had neared within a few i
yards, and it was in the very act of escaping.
The temperature at which the explorations were ;
conducted, was between seventy and eighty degrees j
below zero. So intense was this cold, that the al- i
coholic thermometers failed to indicate accurately |
the temperature, and even chloroform and (he es- j
seutial oils, which resist low temperatures, became !
thick and turbid, ft was only by a careful observa- ;
tion and comparison of many instruments, that they
were enabled to attain to any accuracy in regard to
the extent of cold.
An opportunity has thus been given of testing !
the ability of the human body to resist a tempera
ture of seventy degrees below zero, for several
months together. The Doctor and his party were i
enabled to do this by an immense consumption of
animal food, the ordinary daily allowance to each
man being six or eight ducks, or an equivalent in }
several pounds of the fat seal.
Shortly after the discovery of the compound na- j
ture of the atmosphere by Priestly, Crawford j
broached the theory that the animal heat of the !
body is maintained at an uniform temperature of ■
ninety-eight degrees, by means of a li icral con- 1
sumption of food containing carbon in excess, as j
animal food, where the cold is severe. The most
beautiful and brilliant series of experiments prose
cuted by Liebig, were those intended to establish j
this theory, which they do most successfully.
In this connection, the experiment of Dr. Kane !
and his party, in showing the kind and amount of j
food required to enable the human body to resist
the depressing influence of a continued low tern- ;
perature, for a brief period of time, longer than ,
anv other recorded, is of the highest practical ;
value.
We have in physical geography, as the results
of this cruise, a newly-discovered land, flanked by ,
lofty mountain ranges, a wide and iceless open sea, ;
clearlv pointing to an undiscovered region of large
extent towards the north pole, and immense gin- ;
tiers, before which those of Cyr and Chamouni j
dwindle into insignificanee.
The Invasion ok Dominica nv the Emperor Soc
louqi’e.—Letters from Ilayti for some time past j
have referred to the great preparations made j
bv Soulouque, the black Emperor of Hai ti, for the
conquest of Dominica, the Spanish part of the
island, which has been the darling project of his ’
life. Several times has he been foiled in this un
dertaking, the last time by the intervention of the
English and French, but now he believes he has
collected an army of sufficient magnitude to over- i
whelm it. The statement made several weeks ,
since, that the French bad interfered and caused i
Soulouque to back out of his undertaking, is in- j
correct, though they may ultimately step between -
the contending parties. The rumor among the ,
Hardens is, that this time the English and French J
will not interfere. A letter received in this city i
from Cape Havtien, Dec. ‘JO, says:
“ Times are dull, owing to the march, which it
scents the Emperor is prosecuting with vigor, and,
from all I can gather, with strongprospects ot suc
cess this time. The people are under thorough
subjection, and render him passive obedience, at j
least, in everything. The troops, 1 am told, are !
better disciplined and better clothed and fad thau ;
at any other time since the Revolution. Fopttlar !
opinion is in favor of success this time, and 1
should not be very much surprised at it. 1 am !
sorry for the poor Spaniards, us they will have a ,
hard fate if the Haydens get the upper hand of j
1 them.”
We have also some account from the Domini
cans. A letter received in this city From Port-au-
Platre, Dec. 1 says that on that day the alarm of i
( the approach of the Haydens had been sounded, i
and in consequence business was suspended.
There were rumors at Port-au-Flattc that there had
been already a slight collision on the frontier, in i
i which a small number of Havtiens were taken pri
soners by the Dominicans.— 'Boston Traveller.
Decision Against the Indiana Liquor Law.—
! The Sea-Lexington Guard, extra, reports the ease
of Benjamin Sebastuin.who, found guilty in aMagis
j irate’s Court of selling intoxicating liquors, ap
' pealed to the Scott Circuit Court, Judge Bieknell
! presiding. The case came up on . writ of habeas
| corpus, Sebastian's bail having deliveredhim to the
Sheriff. His Honor, in his decision, goes the
! whole figure for free whisky, and winds up by
saving:
“I, therefore, hold that the Supreme Court by
its recent decisions, has, in effect, annulled the
Temperance Act of 1855, and the defendant, be
ing in custody for violating one of the provisions
of that act, must be discharged.
Slav Haven, Jan. 17.—The Grand Jury this af
ternoon indicted Samuel Sly as principal, and
Rhoda Wakeman, (the prophetess,'! and Thankful
S. Hersey, as accessories to the murder of Justus
Matthews. Their trial will soon take place.
Abigail Sables and Josiah Jackson were this
evening discharged from prison. The prophetess
wept like an infant onjbeing told that she must re
main. Mrs. Hersey said, pointing to the prophet
; ess, “they little know what they are about in shut
-1 ting up that person here.”

THE CRITERION;
A LITERARY AN'l) CRITICAL WEEKLY JOURNAL, j
10 Pages, 4&>,
WAS commenced on the third of November, j
1855, and has thus far received very gen- j
eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence, j
and place it upon a substantial basis of support, ;
the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the
attention of the thinking public of America to its
claims upon their consideration.
The main feature of the CRITERION is its lie
views of Current Literature. In this department
are given thorough and able criticisms of all the
most important books as they are issued, pointing
out their chief characteristics) and indicating their
moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform
ed of all new publications which deserve their at
tention.
IT ALSO CONTAINS
Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary-
World ; Gossip concerning Books and Writers';
Announcements of contemplated Publications; and
Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe.
The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also
receive attention, and several columns of carefully
selected and agreeable matter are given in each
number. In addition to the above ,there is a de
partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter
taining character, carefully selected from new books
and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of
Notes and Queries, which contains a great vnriety
of curious and valuable information.
It is confidently believed that a journal such as
the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect
upon our national literature, and to some extent
upon our national character. It will be found es
pecially- valuable in directing the attention of youth
to works of real excellence, and encouraging an
appreciation for valuable reading, which is being
rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial
and sophistical boolcs. To the reading man the
literary intelligence alone must render it verv de
sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im
provement in taste, the encouragement of merit,
and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious
style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an
enterprise canuot—at least, should not—-be indif
ferent.
To members of Historical, Literary and Scien
tific Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs,
the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all
times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de
sign of the editors to thoroughly- canvass, from
time to time, those important philosophical ques
tions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting
false theories, and encouraging profitable investi
gation.
The CRITERION is published at $0 per annum,
payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad
vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application
to the Publisher. CHARLES R. RODE,

SIOO REWARD.
STOLEN from the subscriber, on the 12th in
stant, my Negro Bov, BILL.
Description'— -Bill is about 22 years old, about 6
feet high, and weighs about 190 pounds. He is
rather black, has a large mouth, and shows his
gums when laughing; is rather slow spoken, and
has but very little beard. He had on when he left
a snuff colored sack coat. 1 bought him from Joel
Dorsey, of Columbia county, and he may possibly
be trying to make his way back.
A white man, calling'himself JAMES ROBIN
SON, was seen talking with the Negro, arid it is my
opinion that he has been decoyed off by the said
Robinson. Said white man gave his name as Rob
j inson, and also as Dorsey. Said Robinson or
| Dorsey is about 28 or 30 years ol age, with promt -
i nent cheek bones, black whiskers and hair, weighs
j about 160 pounds, and speaks rather through his
\ nose. O. 11. WALTON.

fIIHE undersigned having permanently located
ll as Teachers, respectfully solicit the patronage
of their friends and the public generally. From
several years’ experience in teaching, and a con
stant attention to tiie duties of their profession,
they flatter themselves that the system of instruc
tion which they are now prepared'to give Students
pursuing a regular classical course, cannot be sm
passed by any similar Institution in the State. To
parents, therefore, designing to give their sons a
Collegiate education, their services are especially
tendered, since a thorough acquaintance with tlm
preparatory studies is indispensable to the Stu
dent’s progress throughout his whole course. Their
Academy Pupils will be prepared to enter the high
er classes of College, or if preferred, thoroughly
instructed in a more practical and business course.
The accessibility, health and quietness of their
location—its freedom from scenes and causes of
dissipation —induce them to hope for a continuance
of that liberal patronage, tv inch for many years
they have not failed to secure.
A strict regard will be paid to moral training
and the general deportment of each pupil carefully
observed.
Tiie Academies for the Male and Female pupil*
are separate—also, their Boarding Houses, while
the government, discipline, course of studies, Ac.,
of both departments, will be under the control and
supervision of the Principal.
Although not required, it i» preferred that pupils
be boarded with the Teachers.
