No arrivals or departhres yesterday
>Uh Eliza Logan.
iius tavorne and distinguished aetresa made j
her third appearance this season, in Augusta, on !
Wednesday Evening, as Mrs. Haller, in the Stran- |
g'-r. A large and highly respectable house greeted
her in this favorite character—one which she al
ways renders felicitously—and on this occasion
she fully sustained herself.
Notwithstanding the inclement weather, quite a
number of ladies were present ; which, under the
circumstances, was quite a compliment to Miss
Logan’, and a proof of her popularity.
Miss Logan was well supported by Mrs. Crisp,
as Countess Wintersen. Mr. H. Howard, as the
Stranger, and Mr. A. T. Morton, as Baron Stein
fort, also sustained their parts creditably, and
aided in the general success.
We presume, as the weather is becoming milder,
•it w may look now I n ntded houses
Contribution for the Poor.
The amount received at this office, to he invest
ed iu wood to be gratuitously distributed among
the poor has only reached Twelve Dollars—the con
tribution* of three gentlemen only.
The Poor.
During the past three days, many families have
received substantial aid, iu wood, from the contri
butions of Messrs. Kvf. and Delaiolk. Yesterday,
Mr. J iMBs McDowkll, bought up and sent around
to the Citv Hall, several loads of Wood, iu be
half of the community, we thank those gentlemen,
for their timely and liberal aid, to the suffering
poor.
We regret it, that there is no organized or pro
perly concerted effort in our city, to search out and
lender relief to the poor. There are a number of
benevolent ladies who are constantly on their mis
sions of mercy, but in limes like the present, their
t fforts are inadequate to the alleviation of the ma
ny cases of suffering aud destitution which exist
in different localities of the city. In the absence
oi sufficient concert of action, by societies, it is the
duty of the City Council to see that the poor are
properly provided for, by such prudent donations
as, while it does not afford encouragement to look
to the city lor support, will be sufficient to pre
mie absolute suffering iu the families of the poor
and destitute. It is no objection to say that too
many persons will impose upon the general chari
ties of the city. If prudently distributed, the fe-.v
impositions which may be practiced will boos but
little moment, compared with the great practical
rood which will In- effected.
However indifferently some pet sons may regard
them, yet the poor are an important and valuable
portion of our population—they are, like ourselves,
musket -bearing, jury-serving, tax-paying citizens -
and their families are as much entitled to our sup
port and protection, in times of calamity and trou
ble to them, as we are entitled to their material aid
when our houses are on lire, and other troubles
environ us. It is our duty to help each other, and
we invoke the active aid ei the City Council to the
relief of the poor of our city at the present time.
It may be possible, that some families, who have
made application at the City Hall, have not yet
been supplied with wood. There has been sonit
difficul’v iu obtaining drays, but we believe that
the City Marshal has been diligent in sending it,
and if some persons have been neglected it was
purelv accidental.
\ Murderous Affray.
There was an affray yesterday evening, between
Georjje Parole, who resides iu or near Aiken, S.
C., und H. D. Bell, one of the city constables, win
was acting iu his official capacity to preserve tin
peace, in which Mr. H. D. Bell, and his brother,
Dr. Bell and Dr. A. Beach, both very worth}
young gentleman, and who were in no way ori
ginally connected with the affray, were severed,
out by a large knife, in the hands of George Par
dee. Another individual, Moses Harris, from
Edgefield District, was implicated in the affray, a
an accessory with Parole.
George Parole and Moses Harris wvro urn -l
ed, and brought before Lewis Levy, Esq., who
committed them to jail until this morning, for fur
thur examination.
Mr. H. 1). Bell received a cut on his forehead,
and his brother Dr. Bell, a very severe cut on the
back part of his neck. Dr. Beach received a cu
on his forehead. None of the cuts are severe tm
less Dr. Bell's should prove so.
Parole and Harris were under Ihe influence of
liquor, as we are informed, and were acting in
quite a disorderly manner, which .Mr. Bell at
tempted to suppress.
Burglars About.
We learn that some few burglaries have been
committed during the past few nights. One
dwelling was entered, and the thief took off a fine
watch, and, perhaps, some few articles of but lit
tle value. Another attempt was made on Tuesday
night, and the burglar succeeded in entering the
house and one of the sleeping apartments, but was
deterred from stealing bv ihe alarm which fol
lowed.
Th police have their eyes on certain charac
ters, strongly implicated in those outrages, und
we are not without hope that the Grand Jury
may have their names and acts submitted for
' true bill" consideration.
Patent Folding Umbrella.
\\ e noticed vesterdav quite a novelty in the way
ot an Umbrella. The) are foe sale at the store of
A P. Bigxox A Co. Apart from ilieir peculiar
construction, lho\ are strong ami serviceable, and
well arranged to prevent the importunities of Um
brella borrowers. One of th un can very readilx
be packed up in a small travelling bag or value,
and must be quite desirable to all classes of people.
Speech of Mr. Stephens.
We commence this morning, and will conclude
o-morrow. the .cry interesting speech of Mr. S;:.
pness, delivered in the House of Representatives,
in Congress, on the 17th January. He discusses
the question of slavery in the Territories, and the
principle of squatter sovereignty, with « master
hand.
This was the occasion of the running debate be
tween Mr. ZoLLicot'Fßß, of Tennessee, and Mr.
Stephens, to which frequent and recent reference
has been made. The I n ion say- :
•• The clearness und force with which Mr. Sr.-.-
phens discusses the points at issue between him
self and Mr. Zoi.licoffkr, and the ability with
w hich he states the doctrine of the Kansas and Ne
braska act, render this speech eminently worthy ot
jierusal and preserve;ion.'
Fromtir EujFtllj M-r:tu*g Nr. pi.
The following, from the pen of Miss Eliza Log; n,
the distinguished actress, is uncommonly pretty.
The poem is worthy of its source. We are proud
n> be the almoner of sentiments so exquisite :
IDYL TO THE MOON.
Ob', why ss thy pale light so sad, blessed moon ?
On thy bosom so gentle, hath sorrow a place :
fan the star singing round thee so joyous a tune
Ne’er banish the woo which ti e see in thv fa*
Does the misery of mortals excite ihv regret?
Is it sympathy shadows thy radiant Lion ?
Then weep—for a heart more o erburthened, ne'er
yet
Broke beneath thy pale lustre than heaves to
thee now.
On thv surface do beings as sentient as we
Toil, weep, mid play madly, their life’s little
game ?
Are they borne do they die? have they land, air
and sea?
Have they sufferings like uV are their passions
the same?
Are thv daughter- as fair and as frail as our own?
Do thy sons hate each other, a- mortals do here?
Do they fight, struggle, suffer, love. sigh, laugh
and groan.
Then sink in thy bosom—their tomb and their
bier!
Boston, November, 1355.
The President’s Kansas Message—How
the Freesoilers receive it.
This clear and forcible document is fully up to '
the line of the last annual message, wherein it
treats of the slavery question and the constitution- j
al theory of the government—it is in conformity
with the declared and written opinions uoiformlv j
put forth by the President during his whole politl- j
cal career, and will meet the hearty approval of the
entire South, and the sanction of the national De
mocracy everywhere. It gives a graphic view of
the Kansas troubles, and the causes thereof, and
presents the factious intermeddling of the abolition
emigrant aid societies, and the disorganizing spirit
of the Abolition settlers in their true light.
This message has put the fret-soil hosts of the :
North in a fever of rage and excitement. They
are quite furious in their denunciations.
We quote the following comments from the New j
ork Evening Pont, as evidence of freesoil senti
ment, aud freesoil designs on the subject,
*. theAew iorfc Evening Post, Jan. 25.
> e Have spoken of the message as an op
portune one, and yet, if Mr. Pierce were not so
proverbially faithless to his pledges, we should
have some misgiving as to the use which the
-lave party might make of it in driving him to ex
treme measures. The ordinances of the mock leg
islature which sat at the Shawnee Mission wiil nev
er be obeyed; the penalties enacted against the
discussion of the slavery question will not he sub
mitted to ; the citizens of Kansas will never take
the test-oath for the support of slavery prescribed
by the spurious eode, and vet they will vote at the
elections. All the other barbarous and tyranical
edicts promulgated by that body will be assuredly
disregarded and trodden under foot—they can
not be obeyed by freemen. Mr. Pierce will then
have to consider whether he will execute his mea
sure of enforcing them upon a people for whose
right of self-government lie indulges in the drearv
ry j'>ke of professing such profound respect. We
are certain that he will not fulfil his bloody threat
unless lie is forced to it by the violent urgency
of the slaveholders ; aud let them press hint as vi
olently as they may, we can scarce bring ourselves
to believe that he will venture upon such an act of
madness.
“ Meanwhile, this message will have the effect
of encouraging those who meditate new attacks
upon the rights and liberties of the settlers of Kan
sas. The President is ou their side; he promises
them the assistance of the government; and thus
incited, it will not lie strange if we soon hear of
preparations for new outrages. The people of the
free States must step in between settlers of Kansas
aud their ruffian enemies, and give them the pro
tection which the government denies. Let the as
sociations which smooth the passage of the emi
grant to that country, and remove the hardships ot
a border life, be endowed with a capital commen
surate to their object, and their work is done.
They will then be able to direct the course of that
vast stream of emigration which is continually
flowing to the West. They will then be able to
pour their hundreds of thousands into regions
where the champions of slavery hope to establish
their unhappy institution. These will overrun
Kansas, secure New Mexico for freedom, und oc
cupy Western Texas.”
From th* New Fork Fretting Pont, Jan. 20.
Another word on Mr. Pierce’s last Message.—
“ fho President's Message concerning Kansas,
which we publish entire to-day, is even more dis
creditable, both to his morals and capacity, than
the abstract received by the telegraph made it. in
substance, it is a defiance to the Emigrants’ Aid
Society ; a challenge to do their worst. A consid
erable part of it is occupied with an attack upon
those who have promoted the emigration of colo
nists from the free States to the territory of Kan
sas. They should have been passive anil inactive,
Mr. Pierce thinks, while the Atchison party were
occupying Eastern Kansas with their emissaries.
He bestows a severe censure upon Governor Reeder
for not ordering the election of a Legislature ear
lier, while there were but few persons in the terri
tory, and those principally from Missouri. Gov
ruor Reeder waited till the new settlements had
become moderately populous with permanent resi
dents —and this is'rcgarded by the President, as a
great offence. The emigrants from the free States,
ite complains, were by this delay allowed time to
get into the territory. The arrival of these emi
grants Mr. Pierce calls, in one place, an interfer
ence, and in another a wrong. No man who pays
my regard to the import of terms cun call it oi
lier. The territories are the common possession
if all the States, open to settlement, inviting set
leme-nt, and, whether we migrate thither ourselves,
>r help our neighbors to do so, we interfere with
no man’s just rights, and do no man a wrong.”
” Mr. Pierce takes great pains to show that the
Legislature constituted by his fraud had a right to
neet at the Shawnee Mission. He might have
spared himself this trouble, for they had no righ
.o meet as a Legislature anywhere.
*#*«•*-***
Mr Pierce recommends that Congress shall pass
i law authorizing the people of Kansas, when their
numbers are sufficient for a State, to form a Con
ner ution fur themselves. We thought that squat
ter sovereignty was the order of the day. Kansas
■annot frame their own Constitution without first
ibtainiug leave of Congress ? Other States have
oeen allowed to make her own Constitutions
viihout help from Washington, and why, under
die new doctrine of absolute self-government in
the territories, for which Mr. Pierce professes such
respect, should he ask Congress to interfere with
its directions ? The persons who are to elect the
Convention by which the Constitution of Kansas
iS to be framed should, says Mr. Pierce, be “qual
ified voters.” And who are qualified voters, in
his acceptation of the term? They are persons
complying with the ordinances of the mock Leg
islature, which Mr. Pierce declares to be the law
of the land, aud these ordinances require that all
who offer to vote shall qualify themselves by tak
ing an oath of allegiance to slavery. This is Mr.
Pierce’s receipt for getting the right sort of Con
stitution for Kansas, and for this he asks the in
terference of Congress.”
These extracts show what the freesoilers think and
i say of the President. In their view lie is out and
\ out pro-slavery in his proclivities and policy, and
I for this lie is execrated and denounced. Yet th 3 e
! are .Southern presses former apologists of Fillmore,
Coi.lameb, Corwin and Ewing, who pretend to
view Mr. Pierce as at heart a freesoiler.

GEORG I \ LEGISLATURE.
Mili.edgeville, Jan. 29th 1556.
SENATE.
In the Senate, Mr. Brice reported a bill to com- |
pel all persons liable, to perform road duty, which 1
was read the first time.
Mr. McMillan introduced a bill to compensate
persons in possession of land, whose titles may be i
defective, which was read first time.
A hill was reported to amend the Claim Laws of I
the State, to settle and make permanent and eer- j
tain the Court 10 which all claims to personal pro
perty, levied on by virtue of Execution, or other |
process than attachment, from any of the Courts
of this State, shall be made returnable and triable,
Ac., which was read the first time.
A resolution was laid on the table, bv Air. Scre- ;
vln, requesting his Excellency, the Governor, to
have the muskets in the arsenals at Savannah and
Milledgeville, exchanged for arms of a later and
more approved model.
The Senate then began the reconsideration of
the unfinished business of the last adjournment,
which was the Governor’s message relative to the
Vermont resolutions. These resolutions weredis- 1
posed of, according to the plan suggested in the !
resolutions of Mr. Lawton, namely: returning
them to their source, with no other comment than
that expressed in silent contempt.
The bill to organize a new county out of Union,
was lost by a decisive minority.
On motion of Air. Purples, the Senate took up
the report of the Committee of the whole on the
bill to appropriate money for the completion of the
State Lunatic Asylum. The bill was taken up by j
sections. Air. Dabney moved to amend the first
section, by striking out the provise in relation to
the payment of the appropriation, out of the pro- 1
evens of the Western and Atlantic Railroad.
Air. Screven moved to amend further, “ and if
there he no profits, then out of any other funds.”
After a dry discussion, the appropriation was fixed
at |55,00*i annually, for the years, ’55 and ’ss, to be
paid from the Treasury, without reference to any 1
particular fund.
The bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, was
postponed indefinitely.
A bill to appoint Commissioners of pilotage for
the navigable waters of the Port of Darien in the
county of Mclntosh, was passed.
The resolution from the joint Committee, on the
time of adjournment sine Hie, was reported, fixing j
such adjournment tin 20th proximo. ft has not
yet been agreed to by this body. The Senate then
adjourned.
HOUSE.
House met at 10 o’clock this morning. It was
moved to reconsider so much of the Journals of
yesterday as related to the resolutions regulating
the terms of transportation over the State road, of
the freight of the Memphis and Charleston Rail- i
road Company. The motion to reconsider was lost.
The resolutions referred to were considered by j
many as an application for a loan from our sister
State of Tennessee. By others, the bonds to ar
rive at maturity at the expiration of ten years, ;
were considered as equivalent to money, and a
satisfactory compensation.
Mr. Stiles then resumed his argument upon his
bill for the appointment of a General School Com
missioner, with a view to the establishment of a
General Common School System. The gentleman :
was evidently laboring under an impaired state of
health, and was compelled to read his remarks
from manuscript; but the earnest tone of his
voice betrayed the deep interest he felt on the sub
ject. The effort was received with great and de
served applause. This bill, which was introduced
as a substitute for another of similar import, was
approved by a vote of 53 to 24.
The bill, however, on the vote for final passage,
was lost by 79 against to 38 for it. It is matter of
deep regret to the friends of education that this
important measure was lost.
A bill to be entitled an act to lay out and organ
ize a new county, embracing parts of Carroll,
Spaulding and Campbell, was taken up, and on
motion, laid on the table for the balance of the ses
sion.
There is a disposition to discourage the forma
tion of new counties. The people have become so
possessed with the passion for sovereignty and
self-government that it lias become a monoma
nia, and unless properly checked, will demand the
conversion of every firm into a county, and the :
proprietor thereof a Baron or Earl —entitled to a
seat in the Councils of the State Government, and
dispensing justice in his own manor house. How
ever, two bills introduced for the organization of j
two new counties, one to be eaU J Colquitt, and
embracing par; , of Thomas and Lowndes; the
other to be called Berrien, embracing parts of
Lowndes, Irwin und Coffee —passed by fair ma
jorities.
Upon the reassembling of the House, for the
evening session, it went into the consideration of
A message from the Governor, with the accom
panying documents, relating to the attempted ne
gotiation of amicable railroad intercourse between
