Death of Professor Henry.
Rev. Robert Henry, D. D., formerly Prof, s-un
of Logic and Metaphysics, afterwards President,
and for some years past, Professor of Greek in the
.South Carolina College, died in Columbia, at two
o’clock, P. if., on Wednesday last, sth inst. Prof.
H. was connected with the College for about thir
ty-eight years, and his death will excite a thrill of
regret throughout the wide spread circle of the
Alumni of that institution.
Cold Weather.
The inhabitants of the southern State, have
complained considerably about the extreme cold
weather the present season. Its duration and se
verity mar be regarded as unprecedented. But,
in the north, as well as the north-west, the rigors
of the cold have been so great that vast numbers
of domestic animals have died, commerce has been
suspended,ships and steamboats have been destroy
ed bv the drifting ice, and steam cars blocked up,
on railroad lines, by the drifting sleet and snow.
These impediments to business are not the inter
ruptions of a day, but havo continued for nearly a
month past. On Monday last ice was about eigh
teen inches thick on the Ohio river, opposite Cin
cinnati; and about the same time, near Buffalo,
X. Y., the snow was lying in drifts about twenty
feet high.
The Vote for Clerk.
We publish in another column, the vote in the
House of Representatives in Congress, for Clerk.
It is rather an important record, and will he inter
esting and instructive to all who examine it. The
Black Republicans and Northern Know Nothings,
and a considerable portion of the Southern Know
Nothings, united upon the election of the Hon.
William Cullom, of Tennessee, for the office ol
Clerk of the House. In the fusion, we notice the
names of Messrs. Trippk and Foster.
We desire that it should not be forgotten, that
Mr. Cullom, the Clerk elect, was a member of the
last Congress, from Tennessee, and an anti-Xebrun
til man : anti was defeated in the 4th Congression
al District of Tennessee, at the late election by Mi-
Savage, on the ground of his opposition to the
Kansas-Nebraska bill, and in a district which gave
Gen. Scott nearly a thousand votes majority ovei
Gen. Pierce, at the last Presidential election.
Mr. Ct'LLOM is a Southern man, and that ought
to satisfy the people of the South, and hence many
Southern Know Nothings voted for him —and he
is an anti-Nebraska man, and that satisfied the
Black Republicans of the North, and they voted
lor him —hence the fusion, and hence Cullom*
election. Thus we go.

will be a speedy peace in Europe. He thinks s >
for three reasons. Marshal Paskiewith bequeathed
his dying injunction to the Emperor to make peace,
and no one in Russia, says Mr. Walker, ever gives
advice that is not certain to be agreeable to the
Emperor. Minister Seymour, at Vienna, is averv
careful, cautious man, and would not give rise to
hopes that there was any probability of disap
pointing. And finally, which is the great argu
ment induced by Mr. Walker, in confirmation of
his opinion, the Russian Government wish to con
clude the railroad already commenced from the
Capital to the Crimea. Great railroad schemes,

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Milledoevillb, Feb. 6, 1556.
•SENATE.
The Senate agreed to a resolution offered by Mr.
Spaulding, of Mclntosh, that a committee of five
be appointed to meet a similar committee from the
House, and that the joint committee report upon a
bill authorizing the construction of a main trunk
railway, from some point on the Eastern bank of
the Chattahoochee river.
The committee appointed to examine the returns
of his Excellency the Governor, from Banks of the
Interior, Atlanta Bar k Ac., presented a report. On
motion, the majority and minority reports were
ordered to be printed.
bills on their passage.
A bill to protect and confer upon all societies,
whether charitable, secret or literary, the same i
privileges now enjoyed by religious societies,
churches Ac. Passed.
A bill to incorporate the Georgia Air line R. R. !
Company, The capital is #1,000,000. Passed.
A bill to incorporate a Bank in the citv of At
lanta, to be called the “Bank of Fulton/’ Capital j
*300,000.. Passed.
Some few amendments were adopted restricting j
the power of the Bank, and requiring such con
ditions, that there can be no little possibility of
fraud and deception, and consequent injury to the j
holders of the notes.
A bill to compensate the Grand and Petty jurors
of Taliaferro county. Passed.
A bill to allow Wm. B. W r afford to build a
mill-dam across the Conasauga river, iu Murray
county. Passed.
A bill to explain and amend an act to regulate
the mode of sueiug the bonds of Executors, Ad
ministrators, and Guardians, approved Jan 15th
1852. Passed.
This bill is to give creditors, the same ample •
remedy against Executors, Administrators and \
Guardians, as is given to Legatees, Distributees j
and Wards.
A bill to change the time of meeting of the Gen- ,
eral Assembly of Georgia from the first Monday
to the first Wednesday in November. Passed.
A bill to change the mode of Executors, Admin
istrators, and Guardians, of making their returns ;
to the Ordinary. This bill provides that the umn- ,
oer of bales of Cotton, the number of pounds, the !
amount received, when they were sold, to whom j
sold, Ac., must be specified. Passed.
A bill to instruct the Governor to employ the
convicts in tlie Penitentiary in quarrying granite !
with which to rebuild the Capitol. Lost.
A bill to authorize the Ordinary of Taylor coun- :
:y to pay to Wm. A. Graham, and C. Rousseau, j
certain monies.
A bill to make the fees of the Ordinaries iu this I
state, uniform. Referred.
A bill to prohibit the retailing spirituous liquors ,
without license, and to prescribe the mode in which
such license shall be given. A quart in the small- ;
■at quantity to be sold. The license are to be ob- ■
mined from the Inferior Court, except where the j
power is vested iu the corporal authorities. The
oill contains many specifications, regulating, re- j
striding, conditioning and qualifying the sale to ;
negroes and free persons of color, and providing |
for remedying abuses in this traffic. It is a strin- ;
gent bill and calculated to prevent a repetition of j
ihe evils resulting from a free, indiscrimate, uure- !
strained sale of liquor to blacks and inulattoes, !
free and bondagea. Another important feature j
in the bill is the requiring liquor shops to be closed !
on election days. Much desultory, rambling dis- ,
cussion took place on this section. One gentle- I
man, Mr, Billups, objected to it, because it was
squinting at the Maine Liquor Law, and he should \
■verbe. opposed to that law. Ii would, also, in
rease the use of intoxicating drinks, as tlie can
didates would each have their barrel of liquor, ;
named after them, on the field, and whoever was a j
friend could imbibe freely from the barrel, and i
consequently the best liquor would draw the “iloat- !
ing votes.” Another, Mr. Long, of Glynn, seemed
to have an idea that it was calling in question the ,
intelligence and good sense of the people of
Georgia, to pass this odious section. He was
in favor of prohibiting wholly the traffic on
.Sundays, but with regard to the sale on
he other days, he was most irreconcilably
ipposed to stopping it by legislating against it.
It was not right to do this. There was only a few-
Touting votes could be caught by this means; the
sound, respectable, order-loving, patriotic citi
zens, were entirely free from all such influence ;
and this, if passed, would be a libel upon their in’
telligence. Mr. Calhoun, exemplifying thegopd
results of such a measure, said that in bis county
the liquor dealers had been politely requested to
close up their shops, and having acquiesced, the
consequence was that the election passed off quiet
ly and friendly, undisturbed by lighting, or any
sind of turbulence and disorder ; while at all the
preceding elections, many disgraceful scenes had
occurred. Judge Cone, drawing upon his long
experience and observation, made some sensible
and truthful remarks on this matter. At all elec
tions there was a sufficient number of “floaters”
:o create a great deal of disturbance, and give
much trouble to the authorities in quelling the
ebullitions of these disorderly spirits when excited
and infuriated by liquor. All past experience most
plainly manifested the evil consequences of allow
ing such men access to whisky, and while it
was no privation, and no insult to peaceable
men to have these prohibitory enactments, it
really did work to advantage in keeping the
“stuff’” from those who would undoubtedly use
it freely, if allowed to so. Mr. Landrum also
spoke strongly iu favor of this section. Mr. Blood
worth, of Carroll, offered an amendment that
seemed to strike with peculiar force upon the Sen
itor’s “perceptions of the ridiculous,” and pro-
Juced considerable excitation of the risibles of the
members. It provides that no liquor shall be sold
m Milledgevillc during the session of this General
Assembly. The bill and all the amendments were
finally laid on the table for the balance of the ses
sion. This is a noble measure, and fraught with
Jeep interest to Georgia. The ends contemplated
by the bill are certainly necessary, and of momen
tous importance, and as meritorious as any that
nave engrossed the attention of this body. In
nothing is it more essential that there should be a
refot .n, of some kind, than iu the retail traffic of
liquor to negroes, and the suppression of every
kind of distribution of liquor to white persons on
election days. lam aware that the “Maine Liquor
Law” is as delicately and gingerly touched in this
State, as if it were flimsy gauze that would not
bear rough handling; anil also that this measure
“squints” at that law—but, nevertheless, in con
sideration of the many evils it would remedy, and
abuses it would do away with, and the great bene
fits it would confer, I am disposed to think ii would
be proper to have passed it.

HOUSE.
The House agreed to the Senate amendments to
the General Appropriation bill. Aves 53 ; naysso.
An amendment was added to the bill by the Sen
ale, appropriating #lls to Mr. John \V. Duncan, of
Baldwin county, as compensation for pamphlet
copies of the acts of the last General Assembly,
given to the Clerks of the Superior Courts by him.
The bill next considered, authorized the con
struction of a Railroad from some point in Union
or Fannin county, through the valley of the Little
Hightower, to connect with tlie Northeastern Rail
road now contemplated. It is to be called the Hi
wassee Railroad. The whole day, morning and
afternoon, has been consumed in the discussion
if this bill, and the matter is still pending. Messrs.
Wood of Fannin, Smith of Union, and Crook of
Chattooga, supported; and Messrs. Dawson of
Greene, Pickett of Gilmer, and Philips of Haber
sham, opposed the bill.
The discussion was still pending, when the House
adjourned. A.

Washington, Feb. 4.—Senate,—The entire day
was devoted to business, with llie exception of a
debate on the proceedings of the late naval board ;
which commenced during the morning hour, and
was resumed towards the close of the session.
The special order, being the Central American
question, on which Mr. Foote had the floor, was
not reached until so late an hour that Mr. F. de
clined speaking to-day, and the subject was post
poned until-tomorrow. A very large number of
bills were introduced, many of them having re
ference to the continuation of works of internal
improvement bereretofore commenced under the
authority of the government. Mr. Adams intro
duced a bill to amend the naturalization laws.
After on executive session tlie Senate adjourned.
House. The first business of the House was
the administering of the oath to the members.
It was apprehended by some that when the name
of Mr. Whitfield was called, objection would be
raised to his being sworn, and that the Kansas ex
citement would begin. He was sworn, however,
j without serious opposition. The usual message
was sent to the Senate, announcing to that body
the election of Mr. Banks as Speaker. A commit
tee was appointed to wait on the President and in
form him that the House is ready to receive anv
communication he may desire to ‘make. A reso
lution was introduced appointing Wm. Coilorn,
Esq., Clerk of the House of Representatives. It
was adopted—ayes 126, noes 99—tlie Republicans
and Know Nothings generally voting for Mr. Col
lom, and the Democrats against him. The mem
bers then proceeded to the choice of seats; after
which, a resolution was offered, declaring Mr.
Giossbrenner the Sergeant-at-Arms, and pending
its consideration, the House adjourned.
After the adjournment it was announced that
there would be an anti-administration caucus in the
ball at 7 o’clock.
House.— The Speaker administered the oath to
support the Constitution of the United States to
the members, the representatives of each State,
and the delegates from the Territories, advancing
ai their names were called out fur that purpose bv
the Clerk " 1
When the name of John W. Whitfield, of Kan
i sas. was called.
Mr. Grow said he did not intend to interpose
any objection to the oath beiug administered to
this delegate. Out of deference to the wishes of •
gentlemen with whom he acted, he would withhold i
objection, though the circumstances surrounding
the question were such as would warrant it. He
hoped, however, to be heard on some future occa
sion on this subject.
Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, said that his constitu- j
outs were in a deep state of excitement, owing to
j the proceedings here during the last two months.
They had held mass meetings, and sent him the
resolutions which they had adopted. A constitu-j
ent (if his, a Kentuckian by birth, had been dia- !
bolically murdered in a most cowardly manner, j
i having been -hot in the back, as lie had been
j credibly informed, by an officer in Kansas, now ;
under the pay of the general government. They
had been so much engaged in the organization of
the House that an agitation of the question now !
would only be attended with confusion and embar- i
rassment, and be wished this to go forth as the :
reason why lie did not now object ‘olliu adminis- j
j tration of tlie oath to Mr. Whitfield.
The delegate was then sworn in.
• On motion of Mr. Washburn, of Maine, it was re
solved that a message be sent to the Senate inform
; ing them that a quorum cf the House had assem
: bled, and elected as Speaker th • Hon. N. P. Banks,
of Massachusetts, and that the House was now
I ready to proceed to business,
Oti motion of Mr. Pennington, it was resolved
that a committee be appointed, in conjunction with J
; a similar one of the Senate, to wait on the Presi- j
dent of the United States, and inform him that a t
quorum of the two houses has assembled, and that j
Congress is now ready to receive any communica
tion which he may be pleased to make.
Mr. Thurston submitted a resolution that the j
: House will now proceed to the election of a Clerk
aim voce.
j The resolution was laid on the table- ayes 103, ■

Mr. Sage offered a resolution declaring the Hon.

Know Xothingism again Denationalized.
! : The zeal with which the South Americans in
('ongress have labored, during the last two months,
: to elevate their little band of reformers to the dig
’ ! uity of a national party, has not escaped observa
j tion. It seemed to be meir special object to contest
1 ! the palm of nationality with the Democratic party,
j Amidst their solicitude ou this point they almost
forgot that there was such an organization as the
i republican party, and ignored any knowledge of
| i the fact that most of tlie republicans were as good
; Americans ns themselves. The exclusiveness with
i which some of the leaders directed their batteries
against the Democrats, gave rise to frequent con
! i jectures as to the cause of their silence iu regard
1 : to republicanism. It will bo remembered that one
‘ of the shrewdest of their tacticians, Mr. Zollicoffer,
• : fairly exhausted his resources in his efforts to ex
-1 I cite suspicions as to tlie soundness of the antece
-1 j dents of such champions of nationality as Kich
• I ardson and Stephens. There was not only slirewd
-1 l ness of generalship, but originality of wit, in the
! I spectacle exhibited when Mr. Zollicoffer, who
1 : stands on the celebrated twelfth plank, in which
j the power of Congress to prohibit slavery in the
j Territories is expressly preterm Hied, stood up with
1 : impressive gravity and catechised these gentlemen
j as to their belief in the constitutionality of the
1 j Missouri compromise!
‘ : The plan seemed to be arranged that Know
: Xothingisrn, as represented by its chosen standard
; bearer, Mr. Fuller, was more national than Demo
cracy, as represented by the gallant Democratic
i candidate, Air. Richardson. Mr. Fuller’s progress
in nationalism -in - ■ the beginning of the session
■ had been so astonishingly rapid that some incred
ulous people doubted whether his conversion was
• I not rather too sudden to entitle him to head the
~ j column of nationalism. However, it answered
; tlie purpose, for the time being, of enabling tlie
‘ Southern brethren of the Order to point exultmgly
• ! to the fact that their candidate for Speaker stood ou
a platform more national, as they maintained, than
that of 1 tie Democratic candidate. But. uufortu
-1 nately, tlie labor of Mr. Zollicoffer lias all been lost,
, and Know Nothingism lias been as completely cut
| in twain by .Mason and Dixon’s line, anu donation

: that their votes were not cast for Mr. Bauks, it can
