Havnie, of Floyd, after the journals of ves i.V were read, moved to reconsider the bill, in'- S:ate aid to the Elijay Railroad, the motion s< lu-r, bv a vote of 75 to 41. The vote of the yesterday was :;l in favor and 97 against. \ 'lengthy discussion then arose in relation to m and mileage of members of this, and ..or Legislature, a report of which watt received :n the Treasuer. The difficulty was finally ad ed by an agreement to permit the report and r rhe subject to it select committee of five. It barged in the debate that some members had ~u i more mileage than the distance entitled L n to, and that members from the same counties •sensed different “mileages” for payment. An .factual effort was made to lay the whole matter be table, and the motion to print the report .-a I -o resisted. Some gentlemen construed the csiigiiion as being prompted by a desire to sbe political capital, but this was emphatically - daimed ; an l one gentleman said that the ques u could not be made political in its character, e.i- simply a mutter of honesty or dishonesty-- bar or irregular rules, in drawing mileage and Another gentleman considered the matter as ridiculous —an outrage on tin and too small a business to command y| Lawton, of Chatham, introduced a Preamble j ... i R. solutions tilts morning, in reference to the j n of the late John McPherson Berrien, which, - .-nn.--brief but eloquent remarks, from Mr. ; ,n, of M uscogee, were taken up, unanimous -i, and sent to the Senate.

SENATE. Mr. Hardeman', of Bibb, moved a reconsidera .ii of the action of the Senate on the substitute .: -red bv him to the Georgia Military Instituti il. Hi -aid he did so in order that the Institute, diich he believed meritorious, should receive ii aid from tile State, and tiiat without making Sate subject to continual drains on its Treasu f.ir its support. He thought military men, -'mg tor military glory, a curse and a nuisance a peaceful tuition. The Institute was mentori .- because of its system of instruction in the 1,, at tical and other scientific branches.

Hi •i-i. : -I young tacu educated in military tactics, it : ..< hie’ilv desirable; but lie did not wish the s .«••* to take under its exclusive protection the iu - sts of the Institution. To leave such schools * be advitnc .1 by* private patronage, was the most , - - -ml mode to promote them ; for then, unless a " i. ’served, they would not receive it; if they did, '.'iey would bo sustained. Mr. Nichols, of Clinch, was opposed to a recon sideration, as the substitute had been thoroughly i?sed once, and it was useless to bring it again Senate. IL advocated the passage of tue original, and said he was ready and willing to vote twici the amount asked for; not only because his constituents were in favor of it, but he believed ' it was right, and lb a- the interests of the State re quired it. ' The motion to re consider was lost. Yeas 35, nays 55. The whole bill was then re-committed on mo- 1 .. ut ot Mr. t arleton, and taken up bv sections. Mr. Camden, of Cherokee, moved to strike out the S erst section of the bill, which appropriates twontv ftre thousand dollars to the Institution, and pro vides for its transfer to the State. The motion was irried, and the section was stricken out, by 57 veas to 53 nays. Judge Cone moved to strike out the words of the second section, which provides for the pay tnent of the appropriation to the Treasurer, and transfer • •;' the Institute to the State, and insert tiut the money shall be paid to the Supcrinten •iant. Carried. Mr. Camden moved to strike out twenty five . ".sand dollars, with a view to insert a smaller sa-.mt, on which the vote stood, yeas 60, nays 33. Mr. Nichols, of Clinch, becoming excited on the •gri.. uncement of the vote, rose ana called on the friends of the bill to stand by it, and pass or re ".ua! i.nee He said Senators were trifling with ' .vi-v ...rh- in thus deferring a final determination - ii a ting. The President called Mr. Nichols r«i--r. and the Senate proceeded to act on the ' ->u of Mr. Nichols, to fill the blank with twen • T thousand dollar-. Lost, y eas 39, nays 55. A motion to lay on the table for the balance of tiiesession, was then made by Dr. Jeter, of Ma rion, and prevailed. Yeas 49, nays 17. The donate then took up a bili, offered by Mr. - - -,o’ having reference to the rates "of in. - It proposed conventional rates not exceed •c t-u per cent., but fixing seven per ceist. as the i.ec. where no stipulation was made. . ■ • D.abnet offered a substitute to tlie original proposing to remove all restrictions whatever, ■*nd allow optional rates. M". Miller promised to amend the original bv - giving the contract if at more than 10 percent., in as to principle and interest. Mr. Camden opposed the amendment and the ' i '.ne. Advocated a legislative gnard of cur e ■ . v ro some extent, at least for the present. , PK - 1 '' ilkes, opposed the original amend - • ..tel substitute, and moved to lav on the ta lor the session. 1 eki'lhs oppo.-ed the motion—advocated art annual interest not exceeding 10 pei- cent. !> A3 net opposed the motion because it would seteat the bill and the wishes of the people and •- r ‘ ! * of justice. It parties voluntarily assumed Tact, n was right that it should be carried Tried by commercial wants and public ne * "My, money bad become a circulating commod ity, valued agreeable to the varying wants of the community. The people -hould be left free to con tract. In answer to an objection, he would say that the poor were not placed under the control of the wealthy bv the repeal. Experience proved it; supply and demand was the controling power. A repeal of the 1 suit Laws would give capital active circulation ; legislative restriction was deleterious; the rates of interest were increased thereby. Mr. Wei.born, of Whitfield, advocated Mr. Pope’s motion to lav on the table. Mr. Miller, of Richmond, declared himself in favor of the motion to lay on the table, lie was j opposed to any alteration in existing laws. Money was the standard of value, and should be fixed and certain. The effects of a change would be to take practical business men from the industrial pursuits nl life, and make money-lenders and note-shavers of them. This should be avoided. Such characters ought not to be increased. They were no advan tage to the country. Mr. Peebles, of Clark, replied to Mr. Dabnkt. He said the basis of the gentleman's position was wrong, because it was not true. Money was not property ; it is the creature of the Government— property is not. Its value is not fixed. It is no legal tender in the payment of debts. , , The people had not been heard, and were not in favor of it. The press had spoken, but was not the reflection of public sentiment, but the desire of capitalist. These capitalist were a moral fungus ; on the community, eating out its substance, and grinding under their feet the poor and unfortu nate. To prohibit speculators in money from avail ing themselves of the benefits of the ustirv laws might be correct, but the unfortunate man who • has become involved and embarrassed should not , be placed in the grasp of money changers, when they come to redeem their property. If the value , of property could be fixed and the property made ! a legal tender in the payments of debts, there would ; be some equity in the passage of a law placing money and property on an equality. This is inw i possible and the idea chimerical. Mr. Calhocx, of Fulton, favored the motion of j Mr. Pope. A large number of his constituents re quested him to support the bill. This he would gladly do, did it no conflict with the convictions of his judgment derived front examination, prac tical experience and reflection. He believed the repeal of the usury laws would obstruct Grorgia’s . ; rapid progress, in advance of her sisters, to the , proud position to which sho is destined. The vote ! upon Mr. Pope’s motion to lay on the table, was : then put, and carried by a vote of 61 to 33. A great portion of the afternoon session was ! taken up tn hearing the reports of the committee on the Atlanta Bank. The Majority report, signed j by Messrs. Cone, of Green, Screven, of Chatham, and Beaslt, of Troup, sets forth that in their opin' ; ion the Bank has forfeited its charter, in that it ! itas violated three of the provisions thereof: Ist, in electing a President and Directors before the re ; quired sum of $20,000 in specie had been paid in : ' 2ndly, In commencing operations before the re- I quired sum of SIOO,OOO in specie had been paid ! in: 3rdly, In overieming. The report then goes j on to recommend that the Governor issue his pro ' elamation, declaring the charter to be forfeited, and that lie shall institute criminal proceedings against the President of the Bank, its charter, and also against Geo. R. Smith. The minority report, signed ; by Mr. Calhocx, of Fulton, claims that the charter has not been forfeited, and that the facts above stated have been inferred, not proved. No action has yet been taken on the reports. The Senate, to-dav passed the House bill form | ing a new county from Polk and Carroll, to be call i ed Haralson, after making therein some slight amendments, which are yet to be concurred in. : The House resolutions"were then taken up, hav i ing reference to the death of Judge Berrien. Judge Cone made some remarks thereon, perti ! tinent to the occasion, in which he alluded to the j past services, of the distinguished deceased, and : dwelt upon the loss of such a man to the State and the country. The resolutions were unanimouslv adopted, and the Senate then adjourned. N Milledoeville, Jan. 21. Muters. EtlUt/rs: Your very efficient regular cor : respondent, “N.” being unable, by reason of in disposition, to send you a report to-dav, has re quested me to supply his place. 1 regret that my 1 other avocations will necessarily render mv com munication a brief and somewhat imperfect one. SENATE. The bill to make the Georgia Military Institute a State Institution, and to appropriate monev to improve and sustain it, lias been ably debated for two days past, and being put upon its passage yesterday, was lost. This morning, however, on motion of Mr. Strickland, of Forsyth, it was re considered, and referred to a Special Committee, consisting ol Messrs. Strickland, Hardeman. Pee ples, i!i chan an and Pope. Being a disinterested party, and having heard all that was said pro and con, I must confess that 1 was surprised at the opposition to the bill, which , was exhibited by many able and influential Sena tors. It seems to me that with the threatening ap pearance of affairs in Kansas, and the disorganized condition of the popular branch of Congress—both produced by Ihe aggressive policy of the North against the South, no better time could be chosen to urge the claims of such nil institution on the Legislature of Georgia. Bit 7 the project was bit terly opposed, itt toto, by some; others wore op . posed to making it a State Institution, and other:-, again refused to give it any aid unless it was trails, forred to the State. Now that the bill is reconsidered, however, i hope that the Committee, to whom it was referred, will 1 be able to put it in a shape that will be acceptable to the Senate, and that we shall yet have a military academy, to be, as Mr. Pope, of Wilkes, expressed it, a tower of strength to the Slate in times of dan ger. But little progress has been made by the Senate to-day, in disposing of the many bills before ii. Judge Cone's bill, revising and amending tie laws relating to attachments and garnishments, oc cupied a considerable portion of the morning. Al ter being amended in several particulars, whereof, being no lawyer, i could give you but little account, it was passed. The bill to form a new Judicial Circuit from Ware, Clinch, Charlton, Glynn, and one or two other contiguous counties, came up intis regular order, and for a time occasioned a contest among the parties more immediately interested, that wa quiie amusing to those who were out of the light. 1 The bill tinaily passed by a handsome majority; and doubtless should have done so, for, from the evidence brought before the Senate, the labors' of the Judge of the Southern Circuit were so great, as, combined with other tilings, to cause almost a j suspension of the administration of justice in some counties. The bill to form a new Circuit from the counties of Clay, Calhoun, Chattahoochee, and some other counties, was also passed. The bill to equalize the labors of the Judges of the Superior Court, was, some time since, referred to a select committee of one from each Judicial Circuit. That committee, after great labor, re ported a bill re-organizing all the Circuits, and cre ating two or three new ones. It came up to-day, and met with hut little favor. I regretted it. be cause I believed that if it could have been carried through it would have effected the objects for which it was intended. But each Senator, as n general rule, wished to decide where his own coun ty should go, and of course, after destroying the symmetry and just proportions of the Circuit as arranged in the bill, the latter would hav been an injury rather than a benefit, if passed. It was finally disposed of by laying it on the table for the present HOUSE. Like the Senate, the House has made but little progress to-day. It reconsidered its action of yesterday, by which was ordered to be printed the State Treasurer’s Re port on the per diem and mileage of this and the last General Assembly. The bill to legalize certain acta of certain corpo rators of the Exchange Bank of Savannah, was dis cussed at some length, and finally postponed for a few days. i Mr. .Tones, of Muscogee, introduced a' bill to pro vide for serving writs against corporate ns by par ties claimant, either in law or equity. It provides that where the corporation has no public place of business, or no individual in office, upon whom the writ may be served, the complainant is to make oath to that effect, and file the same in the Clerk’s j office. The Clerk is then to eite the defendants to , appear, by a weekly advertisement in some paper ; in or nearest to the county where suit is brought, tor three weeks prior to the setting of the Court, and such advertisement is to be considered legal ] Mr. Crook, of Chattooga, introduced a bill to authorize the Executive Department and its officers to furnish original papers to Solicitors General, when necessary, in the prosecution of criminal 1 cases. The above comprises about all of general inter est, that lias transpired in the House to-day.

Anxious to extend its influence, 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 Re views of Cm nut 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- j : tention. IT ALSO CONTAINS Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary j World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers; Announcements of contemplated Publications; and Lists of New Books is-ued in America and Europe. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also receive attention, and several columns of carefully j ! selected and agreeable matter are given in each 1 number. In addition to the above ,there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter- : taming character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of 1 Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety i 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 i appreciation for valuable reading, which is being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial | and sophistical books. To the reading man the \ j literary intelligence alone must render it very dc- I sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im- 1 1 provement in taste, the encouragement of merit, I and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious ; style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, .-such an enterprise cannot—at least, should not -be indif ferent. To members of Historical, LitKrary and Scien tific Societies, Ltcki-ms and Debating Clubs, (lie 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 tion- which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theories, and encouraging profitable investi gat ion. The CRITERION is published at $3 per annum, | payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application to the Publisher. CHARLES if.
