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. ' From the Few York Evening Poet. 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.” BY TELEGRAPH.

It is expected to con tain neither an absolute assent or refusal, but will probably consist of counter proposals, to be settled by a renewed Conference. Public feeling in France and England was again becoming warlike, and Russia continues incessant preparations for war. The French blew up the docks at Sebastopol on the twenty-second. Affairs in Asia were unchanged. The conference in regard to the Danish Sound Dues had been indefinitely postponed. The Baltic arrived out on the Bth. The latest Berlin papers say the Czar is willing to consider the propositions for peace. The hulk of the Russian army remained at Kars, a small detachment occupying the fortifications at Schanly Lhigli. The Russians had collected large stores at Yeni-Keni, a village on the road to Erze roum. The Russians apprehended an attack on Kars by Selim Pasha, who was encamped on the mountains. The Russians would probably not at tack, Erzeroum owing to the exhaustion of the troops and the state of the roads. Dates from the Crimea to the 25tli, state that the Russians had increased their fortifications over Inkerman and unmasked new batteries on the left of the Chernaya. Peussiku remains in the Crimea, while Gen. Marmora acts as his proxy at the council of war in Paris. Omar Pasha is unpopular at Constantinople in consequence of the fall of Kars. A council of war was being held at Constantinople to provide for the defence of Erzeroum and Trebizonde. The general council at St. Petersburg was prin cipally engaged with questions relating to the for tification of strategic points. Those at Kien would be finished before the end of winter. The Railroad from Petersburg to Moscow would be protected by redoubts occupied by the militia. In London, money was easy and in good demand at 5 per ct. In Paris the 3 per cents closed at aj,i decline. Arrival of the Black Warrior. New Orleans, Jan. 22.—The Black Warrior has arrived, with Havana dates of the ISth. Rachel was still there.

Augusta, Dec. 1, 1855. dec2 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.

The Seminary embraces a three years’ course of such studies as are pursued in the most celebra ted Theological Seminaries in our country.

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.

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.
