DULY CONSTITUTIONALIST : - by JAMES GARDNER. \\ EPWTWPAY JAN-A . •?<>. 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."

The ground has still a covering of ice to the 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. ' Ma-'on TtUyiriph, Jan. 20. 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. Willi am W. Holt, Chairman. Geo. G. McWhorter, Secretary. 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.” Tn the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, on the 23d instant, the bill repealing the liquor law was ordered to a second reading b\ a vote of seventy to thirty qwo.

Larue Business.- —The American Express is now carrying on tlie average of s4,n<X>,non in money per day.’ The steam fire engine has given so much satis faction in Chicago, that a committee of the Com mon Council proposes to buy one for service in that city. The average salaries of New England Methodist preachers are found, on calculation, to be about six hundred dollars a year. Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitzcl.uienck lays dan gerously ill in London. The City Council of Cincinnati has expelled a reporter for refusing to apologise for having said that one of the members was a harmless and useless gentleman. The people of Raleigh, N. C., have re-elected Mayor Haywood, and decided in favor of liquor licenses. The ship Old Dominion, loaded with railroad iron, has been cut through by ice, and sunk in James river. 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. j communicated.] 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.” J. B.
