Afore Practical Charity.
V.V are pleased to record another evidence of:
practical charity towards the poor of out citt.
yesterday, Mr. Charles Belawi.b »cnt ten cords
of wood to the City llall for gratuitous distribu- j
tiou among the poor, for general informal ion, we j
state that the wood is placed at the City Hail, un- >
d-.-r the care of the City Marshall, Mr. .loiin A. j
Christian, for distribution to persons in need. J
Applications made there will he promptly attend- :
ed to.
Contribution Fund i'or the Poor.
The amount received at this office yesterday, to j
he appropriated to the purchase of wood for dis- j
tribntion among the poor, reached only secen dol
lars. It depends upon the voluntary contributions
of the charitable public to determine how much
that amount shall be increased. Come forward
with the funds and let the amount he made com
mensurate with the wants to be supplied.
Cherokee Baptist College.
The friends of education have cause to deplore
the destruction, by lire, on the 4ih insf., of the
Cherokee Baptist College, located near Cassville,
(la., which was duly announced in this paper. The
building was just completed, and the College was
to have gone into operation on the first Wednes
day of next month. The sum of fourteen thousand
dollars had been subscribed by the immediate
friends of the Institution, the Professors elected,
and on the spot, and the prospect was auspicious
of a favorable start when this catastrophe occurred.
An appeal is now made to the public generally, to
come to the aid of the College, so as to enable it to
pursue its onward course. Gen. Rice and the Rev.
Mr. Rambeaxt, in behalf of the Trustees, are in
our city to solicit subscriptions. The case appeals
to the liberality of the Baptist denomination espe
cially, aud our citizens generally.
The aim of the Institution is to give to young
men of limited means a liberal Collegiate educa
tion ai a very moderate cost, and the prices of tui
tion, and the rules of the College, are established
in view of this object. To this end the cheapness
of hoard, at and near Cassville, offer unusual fa
cilities.
We have a Prospectus before us, from which it
appears that the studies to be pursued are such
are usual in first class Colleges. Tile rules of dis
cipline are such as will meet the general approval
of parents and guardians.
This Institution is well calculated to bring the
means of a liberal education within the reach ul
many deserving youths in Cherokee Georgia, vie
could not otherwise enjoy that blessing. We there
fore take pleasure in commending Gen. Ilict: and
the Rev. Mr. Rambeaxt, and their cause, to the
kind consideration of our community.
Education lor the People of Georgia.
The Columbus Time* says: “We wish vvt
had the voice of a trumpet that we might
proclaim to the furthest corner of the Suite thai
there are forty thousand citizens of Gcorgit
who can neither read nor write.
“If we were a member of the Georgia Legisla
iure, this would be our constant and only reply U
all the arguments urged against thebills now pend
ing to provide for the education of the youth oi
Georgia.
“Think of it! Forty thousand Christians who can
not read the Bible. Forty thousand freemen win
cannot read the Constitution. Forty thousand cit
izens who cannot read the laws. Forty thousand
men, women and children in the nineteenth centu
ry shut out from all the enjoyments of their agi
and time.
“Can nothing ' e done for them, while millions
are appropriated to build railroads; thousands it
endow colleges; hundreds to clean out rivers, and
dig down mountains?
“ Talk not to us of begging and robbing. They
are not the children -these unfortunate creatures
of the poor counties in which they live, but ot
the proud State of Georgia, and slit* owes it to lie!
own honor, to rescue them from the brrbarism
of ignorance and bid them drink of the piu’e founts
of knowledge undefied, whereby tlieir darkness
will he illuminated, and tlieir degradation re
moved.
“Is it not known that six-tenths of the crime com
mitted in the State is perpetrated by men who can
not read? Are jail fees and penitentiary appro
priations more pleasant to pay than the tuition
fees of the school master? Is the hangman mon
worthy of State aid than'the pedagogue?
“We cal! upon our brethren of tlie press to conn
to the rescue of the unfortunate poor. This gen
eration may not appreciate their labors, but pos
terity will bless the noble men who are now striv
ing to rescue them from the awful curse of ig
norance, twin sister of sin and the first born ot
the devil."

Judge Cone’s bill, providing for the call of a
State Convention, will be found in another column.

Another freezing rain fell on Saturday, and bur
dened ail nature with an ice-load heavier than be

depth of half an inch or more, and tree and shrub
are bent and bowed by tbe weight of it. The
weather has been verv cold the last few days.

The Snow and Sleet.
We had another fall of snow on Saturday last.
The snow was not heavy, but the sleet was the
heaviest we ever saw. On Sunday morning, the
earth was covered to the depth ot' an inch, with
ice. The shade trees were bending to the earth
with their beautiful but fatal covering. The ice
was so firm on the earth that the weight of man
made no impression upon it. All foot navigation
was suspended. Did any of our readers ever ex
perience such weather in Georgia, as we have had
for three weeks pas: - I'de il Union, Jan. 2!'.
Tribute of Respect.
At the opening of the Superior Court of Rich
mond county, on Monday, 28th January, 1856 af
ter the organization of the Grand Jury, William
T. Gould, Esq., addressed the Court as follows :
May it please your Honor, this is not the first
time that the sad duty has devolved on me, of call- ,
ing the attention of the Court to a vacancy in the
ranks of the profession, by the hand of death.
It is now more than a third of a century since I
came to tbe Bar of Georgia, aud found at the head
of it John Macphebson Berrien, and Richard
Henry Wilde.
Several years since—it seems but yesterday 1 1
stood where I now do, and announced to your
Uoiiofjije death of Mr. Wilde; and now, I ant
called on to perform the same office for his distin
guished cotemporary. 1 shall not attempt his
eulogy. If it were desired, the task is far beyond
my powers. But no such effort is necessary. All
who hear me, know his character, as a man -aud
of his reputation as a lawyer , it is no disparage
ment to any of the living to say, that he stood at
the very head, not only of his own Circuit, but of
the Bar of the State.
To enable this Bar to give suitable expression to
their feelings on the occasion, 1 move that the
Court now adjourn for the dav.
Judge Holt replied in a few appropriate re
marks. and the Court adjourned.
The Bar immediately met in the Grand Jury
room, when the Hon. William W. Holt was called
to the Chair, and Georoe G. McWhorter, Ksq..
appointed Secretary.
Mr. Gould moved that a committee be appoint
ed by the Chair, to report suitable resolutions, in
reference to the death of the Hon. John Macpher
so.v Berrien.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Gould, Cummi.no
and Jenkins that committee, and the meeting ad
journed till to-morrow morning, at nine o’clock.
TUESDAY MORNING.
The Bar again met, when the following preamble
and resolutions were reported by the Committee,
and unanimously adopted:
The Bar of Richmond county have heard, with
deep regret, of the death of the Hon. John Mac
pherson Berrien, the head of the profession, not
only iu seniority, but in legal reputation. He has
left behind him what few men ever have—the
memory of a brilliant career of more than half a
century, during the whole of which he was among
the foremost, aud for most of which, he was con
fessedly the very first, among his brethren, and
besides his high rank at the bar, a spotless private
character, and a position among the first states
men of the land, cause his loss to be deeply felt,
not only by the society of which he was the orna
ment, and the profession of which he was the
pride, but by the State, and the nation, to whose
welfare he was devoted.
We claim the privilege of adding our tribute of
respect for his memory, to those already paid, in
the city of his residence, and by the Legislature of
the State, to which he was so long an honor. There
fore—
Resolved-, That this Bar, in common with their
brethren throughout the .State, deeply lament the
loss of their distinguished leader, the Hon. John
Macpherson Berrien. ’
Resolved, That our most respectful sympathy be
tendered to the family, who have thus lost tlieir re
vered and honored head.
Resolved, That the Court be requested to order
these proceedings entered on the minutes of this
morning ; and that copies thereof he transmitted
to the family of our distinguished brother, and
published in the city papers.

Mr. Hunt, the editor of the J frehants Magazine,
has received a letter from Enoch Hale, the author
of the series of historical sketches on the com
merce of the States, which have appeared in twelve
or fifteen successive numbers of Hunt. Mr. Half
writes:
“ 1 have met with a misfortune which must
bring to an immediate close the series on the com
merce of the United States—a destructive fire in
Rondout on the Sth inst. pulverized the Courier
office, and with it about two thousand pages of
manuscript, in which were all my notes for the
Gommerce of the United States. 1 can never
again go through the labors I endured in prepar
ing these notes, and without such labor the series
never could be completed in any manner at all cor
responding with the style in which they have thus
far been carried.”

We copy from the Mimi<mj>pian , of the 10th inst,
the following announcement of Col. Davis’ elec
tion to the Senate of the United States:
“On yesterday the Legislature elected the Hon.
Jefferson Davis.” United States Senator from Mis
sissippi, for the term commencing on the 4th of
March, 1x57. Col. Davis was the nominee of the
Democratic caucus, and received the entire Demo
cratic vote, obtaining the unprecedented majority
of fifty-eight over all opposition. For the sake of
harmonv, the name of the Hon. W. S. Featherston
was withdrawn from before the Democratic cau
cus The Hon.' Jacob Thompson, another distin
guished son of North Mississippi, though not suc
cessful in the caucus, received a highly flattering
and complimentary vote. His numerous friends,
animated by a patriotic spirit, cheerfully acquies
ced in the decision of the majority, and have, no
bly manifested to the world how true Democracy
can, at all times, lay down personal preferences
for the success of the cause.”
How they Vote for Speaker.—The process is
this : _\ deputy clerk rises and slowly and distinct
ly pronounc -s the full name of each member, “ Mr.
William Aiken.” “Mr. Charles J. Albright,” re
peating it three times if there is no response ; and
; s > on in the alphabetical order through the two
| hundred and thirty-four. As his name is called
the member answers aloud “Banks,” or “Richard
son, or whoever he votes for. If he has anv ex
planation or remark to make in referenae to his
vote, he makes it at. the 'ante time. After the roll
! has been gone through with, those who were ab
sent or did not vote when their names were called
i there are always ten or a dozen such rise and re
' quest their votes to he recorded, which is accord
ingly done. A second deputy has kept tally on a
printed list, which he now passes over to tlie one
who called the roll. He reads, “Those who voted
for Mr. Richardson are Messrs. ,
Ac., and so on with reference to the others. This
recapitulation occupies seven or eight minutes,
calling tiie roll about twenty. A last opportunity
is now afforded for any absentee to record his vote.
Finally, a third deputy, who has been counting up,
hands’the result in figures to the clerk, which he
announces, “Banks 103, Richardson 67,” Ac. An
idea may be formed from this how tedious the
process is. Six callings of the roll without any
debates occupying as much time as is usually spent
in a daily session.
Russia’s Progress.—During a period of sixty
years, Russia lias extended her dominion from the
Gulf of Boutliuia almost to the gates of Constan
tinople. from the Vistula to the Caspian Sea, and
, has added to her resources a population nearly
equal to that of the entire United States.
[COMMNICATED.J
Mr. L Jitor; It seems to be a part of the policy
of the Know Nothing party, to deprive our Catho
lic countrymen of tlie good will and confidence of
their 1 rotestant fellow-citizens, by fastening on
their church the odious imputation of a fondness
for arbitrary iorms of government. In pursuit of
this policy, the Hon. Mr. Smith, a Know Nothing
member of Congress, from Alabama, recently ask
ed the question, if au instance could be shown,
where a Catholic priest had sided w ith the people
in a contest with oppression.
This question has been promptly answered, both
by members of Congress, and tlie public press,
and so answered as to show, that if the gentle
man was serious when he put it, he is as “superb
a specimen” of a Know Nothing in history as he is
in politics.
If the Catholic church, or any other church has
a special preference, for any particular system of
political institutions, the highest authorities and
most illustrious writers of that church will maintain
the principles upon which those institutions are
founded.
The principles of political liberty are embodied
in that theory of governmental philosophy, which
affirms, that the ultimate sovereignty always re
mains in the people, that government is a’trust
reposed in the ruler by the people, solely for the
promotion of the general welfare; that the ruler is
responsible to the people for the manner in which
he fulfils this duty, and that whenever the func
tions of government are being perverted bv wick
ed or ambitious men, to the gratification of selfish
ends, or made the engines of tvrannv, it is the
right of the people to remove the unworthy agents,
and place the magisterial authority in hands which
will use it righteously.
A people, within whose minds these doctrines
have found a secure lodgment, will never crouch
long under the tyrant’s lash.
There is, or rather there has been extant in the
w r orld, a system of political ethics, the directly op
posite to this.
According to this, the right of princes to reign
and rule, was the immediate gift of God, that to
him only were they responsible for the manner in
which they governed the people over whom he had
placed them, and that tor tbe people to presume
to hold them to an accountability, or to rebel
against their authority, no matter how atrocious the
tyranny which impelled them to this action, were
a daring usurpation of the perogative of heaven,
well calculated to provoke the most emphatic exhi
bition of divine disapprobation.
New, to which of these theories have Catholic
authorities given their support ? bet a very able
and enlightened Protestant statesman and philoso
pher answer.
All who are familiar with Tlie writings of Locke,
know, that the first part of liis celebrated treatise
upon government, is devoted to the advocacy of
the first named theory.
Sir J ames Mclntosh i 'durum et venerdbiU nomen
in his essay upon the philosophical genius of Ba
con and Locke, affirms that Mr. Locke’s general
principles of government were the same that had
prevailed for ages in the schools of Europe, and
that he adopted them as he found them, without
essential modification or alteration.
He also says that the doctrine of the responsi
bility of magistrates to tlie people, arising from
the delegation of authority to the ruler by the peo
ple, is as old at least as the writings of Thomas
Aquinas, and that at the beginning of the 17th
century it was “ the common doctrine of all the
divines, jurists and philosophers who had exam
ined into the moral foundation of political au
thority.”
The learned writer also makes this statement, to
which 1 would call the attention of all candid men
who are honestly searching after truth, that tlie
opposite doctrine, that is “the divine right of king
ly government,” was a principle very little known,
till it was inculcated in the writings of English
divines after the accession of the Stuarts.
Now, if these things be so, if that theory of po
litical ethics, which maintains the liberty of the
people, by making the ruler but tlieir servant and
answerable for his conduct, was the received svs
tam of the schools of Europe ages before the time
of Locke, then it must have been taught in those
schools, with the sanction and approbation of the
Catholic Church, for, in those early times, all the
seminaries of louring were to a greater or less ex
tent under the supervision of the clergy. If this
system is inculcated in the writing of the most il
lustrious divines, jurists and philosophers of
the Catholic Church, then that Church can cher
ish no hatred for the principles therein con
tained, nor for political institutions wherein
those principles are embodied; and last but
not least, if the opposite doctrines, the vital
principle of despotism, the very Gibralter of
sceptered misrule, were very little known in
Christendom, til! they were ushered into notice,
and invested with a short-lived respectability,
at a comparative!' modern era, by well-paid Eng
lish Protestant parsons of the established Church,
who fawned about the courts oi the despotic Stu
arts,how unjust, how unpatriotic, hotv un-American
it is to emhittter the feelings of our Protestants
against their Catholic fellow-citizens, bv sucb
grottudloss imputations against the Church before
whose altars, they worship the same Savior, whom
we all adore. Veritas.

Waynesboro', Jan. 28, 1656.
J nuts Gardner, Esq —Dear Sir : The losses by
the tire are not as great as we were disposed to be
lieve at first. Our Court House cost about f>lo,"oii.
Mr. Gray states his loss to be about §so,oo0 —
that is, the firm of Gray & Buford. They have
suffered most. The individual losses of the law
yers, whose offices were burnt, I have no dou’ot
from five to seven hundred dollars will covey all.
But there has been a perfect wreck as to their
client’s papers, Ac., nearly all of which tr,ay possi
bly be re-established.
Our town this morning presents rather a sad
spectacle. The severe sleet has dislimbered many
of what used to be our beautiful, shade trees - and
the smoke from the burnt ruins still bids defiance
to the frozen elements. One instance connected
with the recent tire, perhaps 1 ought to mention. A
little boy, the son of Col. Isaiah Carter, about
eleven or twelve years old, discovering the light
from the Colonel’s plantation, summoned all his
father’s negroes, and marched them into town, to
assist our citizens in subduing tbe flames. His
father’s place is situated about three miles from
Waynesboro’, and the Colonel was absent from
home. The little fellow had the presence of mitut,
and took the responsibility to lead tlie bauds to
Waynesboro’.
The greatest confusion ensued during,the lire;
and too great praise cannot be given to those who
stood by and battled with the obstinate element.
It was only by the most superhuman efforts that
the entire town was not burnt down. The fire drew
the pitch from Mr. Su rges’ Hotel, and also from
Mr. Rodgers’. At one time, to save the latter
seemed impossible. If it had burned, the whole
towu, no doubt, would have been lost. The wind
was light, however, which was a great help. It is
generally thought by our citizens, that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. We are all ice-bound
here. Such terrible weather, it is said, by our old
est inhabitants, was never before experienced. Al
though gloom and ruins surround us, the true
! philosophy is, we must look up, and consider that
I “misfortunes are some times blessings in disguise.”
