DIILVCOITITIiTIOpiST! BY JAMES GARDNER, i THURSDAY JfORXING, JAN’Y. 31. rn-ii.Hiimi.il ■ ■■■■■■■■■■ ~ ■— i I River News. The river i» at a -land, with sit feet by the mark. ' 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.

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 Georgia and he r sister State, Tennessee, were re ferred to a special Committee of seven. A bill was introduced amending the rent laws of this State, giving the Agent or Attorney of the creditor the power to sue out a distress warrant in the same manner, aud upon the Same terms us the creditor himself. the Governor’s Message in relation to the Vermont Resolutions. One hundred and sixty copies of the ; .Message were ordered for publication. The mos- ' sage and resolutions were referred to the Commit mittee on the state of the Republic. c JOMME RCIAL.
