Passed. HOUSE. -iiitmishcd business of yesterday was taken •i: itcly this morning after the reading of 'iraal, to-wit: The bill incorporating the - see Railroad Company. Pickett, of Gilmer, ottered an amendment ‘‘railroad should not-connect with the South aa Rabun Gap Railroad, but connect with l'«ih Eastern Railroad. It had been intima- i - '■lit this road was only a South Carolina pro- ; rting a large amount of commerce from -gia roads to the Carolina roads, and lie ■ '-'i this amendment to prove the falsity of this "'.ith. nf Union, arose and asseverated in . ' •: energetic manner, that no Carolinian had subscribe to this road. It was a project j Union county, ami entirely discon-, «‘iih any South Carolina interest. This - ■'- :ent was intended as the best and most j •■g mode of killing the bill. The gentleman ; clack the bill openly, and would not dare . ■ responsibility of legislating against , :of Georgia requiring development. The . : ;ws d to build a road to bring the produce j -see into Georgia.

He would have remained silent if r had not asked if the Georgia Legisla ■ . i d, in us might and strength, to crush -: s and impede the efforts of his portion ; country. He (Mr. Dawson) believed the -ata injurious to the interest of Georgia than ‘ fUbun Gap Railroad, for the chartering of , -a previous Legislature has been much con- - : as 1 -:>gislating against the State and for ■ ;M- This is much more injurious, and he 1 prove bow.

In case -- “on is ever made the charter, shall be forfeited. He supported bis position with much ability. The State possessed control over the lives and property of the citizens, and whenever the in- I tere.it ot one locality conflicted with the interest ot the whole State, the sectional interest must be ignored. Millions had been invested in the State road; half of its business would be taken away, and turned into another channel, and thus great loss would secure to the State. Mr. Crook, of Chattooga, came out in an open and buhl advocacy of the bill, contending it was the duty of the State to grant the charter, lie reitera ted the arguments used vesterdav, speaking of in ternal improvements, of the naivow minded m-1- lisli policy of the State, in refusing t«, allow the different counties to build their own railroads. Speaking of the ore from the copper mines that would go to ( harleston, by this connection he said it was a mistake, tliat it would go direct to New i ork, which was seven hundred miles in a sti.light line. And in regard to the trade from Tennessee, he said Charleston was entitled to it, and there was no use for Georgia to conTj.-oe for the possession of it. * Mr. Pickett then arose and asserting this the most important bill that had been brought before 1 the Legislature, said the question resolved itself into this, whether Georgia would give to Carolina the Tennessee trade, or reserve it for herself. This was the point, and the only point of importance, and he wished the Representatives to think of it before giving their decision. The amendment wa pui and lost. Ayes 55, nays 56. Mr. Crook, of Chattooga, called the previou question, thus casting off all debate. The main question was put and lost by one vote. Ayes 55, nays 56. To-morrow it is thought if will be re considered. BILLS ON THKill PASSAGE. A bill to prohibit and punish the settling of criminal cases, and vesting in Juries the discre tionary powers now vested in the Judges, and in creasing the fees of Solicitors, &c., was lost. A bill to allow separate actions of ejectment, or for trespass in certain cases. Passed. A bill to allow Juries to assess damages, where j frivolous suits involving titles to land, arc institu ted. Parsed. A Senate bill altering the times for holding the i Superior Courts of Crawford, Twiggs, Macon, and Dooly. Passed. A Senate resolution appointing a joint Commit tee to report a bill providing for a main trunk Railroad to connect the Atlantic with the Gulf, j Adopted with the amendment that the bill should • be reported by Monday next. A resolution of Mr. Ward was adopted, that a j Committee be appointed to report what action shall be taken in regard to the outstanding debts due to the State by Tax Collectors, some of tin books showing deficits since the year 18-13. The whole afternoon was consumed in the di-- i cus.sion of a bill allowing certain persons to prac tice Medicine. After being enlarged by the addi- j tiou of some twenty or thirty amendments, the j bill was passed, though with it there bubbled forth [ much fun and frolic. A. [communicated.] Mr. Editor : Having noticed in vour paper, du- j ring the period of our very severe weather, several j instances of the genuine “practical charity,” of j some of our benevolent and humane citizens, in : the supply of AVood, for the suffering poor of the city, 1 have been induced to call your attention to a “charity” in our midst, «*practical, per manent, useful, and widely diffusive in its results, , but which calls for the liberal and consistent sup- j port of the generous and charitable to sustain it, j in its straggle for existence. I allude !o the j Needle Womans’ Society. Four years have j elapsed since its establishment in our citv, at the suggestion of a few benevolent individuals, and much good has been compassed, much suffering I mitigated by its agency. The cal! upon the sym , pathies and benevolence of a generous public, was promptly and liberally responded to, and funds to a considerable amount were immediately placed in j the hands of a committee to forward the enterprise. ■ For two years the subscription list, was ample and j consistent, but gradually the subscriptions have j been withdrawn, until a necessity has arisen, foi j an increase in the list, to carry on successfully th • operations of the Society. The philan’.hrophv which suggested, the liberali ty which established, and the zeal, energy and per- : severance which sustained it, appeal directly to the right feeling of the community, and demand for it | a consistent support. The object is one which must , commend itself to the intelligence and sympathies of all. It is to assist :lie most helpless, weakest. ! and most dependant of beings, in the attainment ! of an honest, though scanty, support, by the most j laborious, wearing, aud precarious means- the ! needle. Debarred by her very sex, with all it - | weaknesses, ignorances, and inabilities from wider ! anti nobler fields of exertion, the poor needle wo- [ man (urns with a faltering, desponding heart, and : trembling fingers, to her sole, inadequate means : of a meagre support, for herself and her suffering ! family. To relieve this destitute class, and to place it in a situation to earn respectability, if not J comfort, (for alas! the needle is, at. best, but a j frail means of support : by giving a fair equivalent for work, the Society was established. The etithu j siasm which greeted its first suggestion has had j but an ephemeral existence, and many who re j sponded nobly and promptly to the call upon their ; time, their attention, and their purses, have subsi- . ded into a lukewarm indifference, or at best into a languid good will. Their generous impulses have ’ been paralyzed, their interesi become torpid, and a few disinterested devoted spirits alone remain ; to “bear I lie heat and burden of the day.” The subscription list has gradually diminished, and needs an enlargement to place the .Society upon a permanent basis, for future usefulness. If the existence of such a Society was deemed j desirable, nay, even afcem‘try, but four years ago. j does not the same necessity exist for its continu- j ance now? Have we fewer poor among us? Are their demands for a subsistence less appealing? or ! have their wants been so liberally supplied by a i promiscuous charity, as to render the continuance i of the Society a matter of no importance to them, ! or less imperative as a duty to us ? How can those 1 who voluntarily, or even upon solicitation, pledged | themselves to the support of so noble a charity, as the redemption of an unfortunate but worthy class, ■ from actual want, aud probable vice, reconcile it to themselves to withdraw their aid, at this juncture ? The self-deluding plea that a feeble proportion of personal influence, or a small amount of pecuniary aid, can do but little to assist the cause, will scarce ly avail, for the aggregate of each would produce an amount of influence, irresistible in its effects. The trifling sum of a few dollars annuaVit from the pockets of subscribers, would scarcely be felt by them, and the comfort and happiness ii would en sure to the unfortunate and helpless, be immeasnr- ! able. Mr. Editor, in bringing this subject before tin public, I trust it may awaken anew an interest in this cause, and open the hearts of the benevolent ! to the wants and suffering of those whose appeal, four vears ago, was brought so forcibly to their re cognition, and met with so availing and ready a - Items.

The Constitution of New Granada having been remoddled since the treaty between that government and the United States, regarding the construction of a Railroad across the Isthmus, this government has been advised that new joint arrangements have become necessa ry. Granada requires that her legation here must be apprised of our intention to transport troops, in order that the Governor of Panama may tie ad \ ised of the fact, so as to enable him to distinguish mere adventurous squads from bona tide military forces, which in transit must conform to the civil laws of that country.

This will be good news to the holders of the Texas evidences ol' debt. AA tsuiNQTON, Feb. s.—The area around the lfall of Representatives was densely crowded this after- : noon with hundreds of oftiee-seekers, while others I sought refuge in the rotunda of the Capitol. . Members of the House, both before and during the j session of the House, were busily engaged in sign- | ' ing applicants’ papers. No sooner had Caps. Darling qualified as door keeper than he removed a messenger and appoint !ed his successor. This served as a signal for the j inside crowd to rush upon him with importunities. AVhon the House adjourned the scene was rendered ' additionally exciting by the rushing in of the out t side office-seeking force. Mr. Follett will probably be'elected printer to the House to-morrow.
