thus far have been complete; and on the occasion
of her benefit, she appears in the romantic drama

by the great Celeste, and which has been equally

Mn.LEOGKvn.LE, Feb. 14, 1856.
SENATE.
Ou reading the journal this morning, Mr. Pee
i-les, ot Clarke, moved a reconsideration of the ac
tion of yesterday relating to the bill passed appro
priating .6,3,000 for the removal of obstructions in
the Saltillo river. In support of his motion, Mr.
Peeples said that it required a majority of two
thirds to pass this bill, it being a donation. Be
nd.-, [>ast experience proves that all subsequent
appropriations for cleaning out rivers were wasted
iii useless, iraprovideutVxpcuditure— squandered
without an- good results being effected. He was
m furor of appropriating in such a manner that
the whole .State would receive benefit and improve
merit.
Mr. Nichols, of Clinch, said, the gentleman who
makes'this motion toreconsider, hasa bill appropri
ating 435,000.
Mr. McMillan -£2t»,t)oo.
Mr. Nichols--5200,000 to an institution in his
otvn county, and now lie wished to reconsiders
bill appropriating only 4.;,"o0 to a section of coun
try' where it is very much needed. This is not
right, sir.
Mr .McMillan Sir. the institution for which
Mr. Peeples wishes an appropriation of £2OO, on-'
ii a State institution, and is no more for the bene
fit of his countv than the whole State. But lam
■ ppust-d to this lost donation, and f shall vote
against sinking -6:;,ooo in the bottom of the Saltillo
river. Some years ago £5.000 were given to clean
logout the Aitamaha, aud another donation fa
the Oconee, aud the money was a dead loss, no
benefit nr advantage being received. Rubbish ac
cumulates every year in this river, and you may i
well give these people an annual warrant on the
Treasury. lam opposed, sir, to his appropriation
and snail vote for the motion.
Mr. Atkinson, ot Camden- Mr. Speaker: The
gentleman misunderstands the use of the appro
priation. On the banks of the river lies some of
the finest wooden land in Georgia, and a great
tnant trees have fallen in, and thus obstruct the
tree passage of the rafts of timber, doing serious
injury to ttie timber cutters I have been engaged
in the business andean speak from experience of
tae injury occasioned by the bad state of the river.
An immense timber business is done ihere, and is
a source of great profit in Georgia.
Mr McMillan If the country is so wealthy and
so much business is done there, why cannot the
people clear the river themselves instead of calling
n the State? If they make so much profit, they
can very readily afford to expend this £3,000 out of
their own pockets.
Mr Dcnnag .x, of Hall Mr. Speaker: A cheap
er plan would be to wait until tne river gets dry
and burn the obstructions out.
Tin- motion to reconsider was lost.
Mr. Calhoun, of Fulton, successfully moved to
reconsider the bill lost, enlarging the jurisdiction
of the Inferior Courts of Fulton countv.
The Senate also reconsidered the bill regulating
toe investment of trust funds.

HOUSE.
The House resumed the discussion of the remo
val of the State House, this morning.
Mr. Lewis, of Greene, opened the tight bv oppos
ing the amendment of Mr. Lewis, of Hancock,
which provides that if the removal of the Capitol
be again submitted to the people, the Governor, in
his proclamation ordering the election of members
of the Legislature, give an estimate ot the cost of
reconstructing the present Capitol, aud of building
a new one at t he plat e to which the seat of govern
ment mav be removed. Mr. Lewis, of Greene, de
fended his substitute, alleging that the question
had not been fairly submitted to the people.
Mauv had opposed removal on account of the
great expense consequent upon an erection of new
buildings, and the people did not understand that
the present Capitol needed reconstruction, or the
vote would have been much larger in favor of re
moval.
Mr Jon'B* of Muscogee, condemned the plan of
submitting questions to the people, and therefore
opposed the substitute. It was ridding themselves
of responsibility to leave every question of impor
tance to the decision of the people, and moreover
was subversive of the principles of our Govern
ment. He should vote for removal, if reconstruc
tion was necessary, though he would confess non
removal would be more economical.
Mr Harris, of Fulton, thought the time had
come for ultimately deciding in favor of recon
structing the present building, or of building a
new one elsewhere. He argued that the matter
had not been properly submitted to the people,
j Thev understood that the Capitol was sound and
needed no repairs, and hence voted against the un
necessary expense of erecting a new one. But tell
them that $150,000 is necessary to reconstruct tin
present building, or $500,000 "to build a new one
and he belived "the majority would be in favor of
removal. Gentleman had said here was the place
to decide the question ; we represent the people.
The last Legislature had passed a bill removing
the Capitol to Macon, and yet when the removal
I question was tried, that citv did not receive 5 000
vote*.
■ Hy. Lawton, of Chatham, was in favor of the
i Legislature deciding this matter. The people nev
j er coul d properly decide this or unv other question,
i involving so many collateral propositions. It was
, Hie province of the people to elect Reprsentatives;
and those Representatives should be willing to
bear any responsibility which resulted from their
position and duties. He characterized these refer
ences of important matter to ihejpeople as “clap
trap,” and the admission of the gentleman from
Fulton proved it. It was the right and duty
j of the General Assembly to decide all subjects for
legislation.
Mr. Tkrhuxk supported the amendment. He
was for giving all the light upon the subject.
Mr. Pickett said he hoped against hope* in oppos
ing Mr. Terren e, and hoped the amendment would
not be received.
He was proud <d tbe talents of the Executive,
but thought it would he asking to much, and requir
ing a departure from his proper sphere, to ask him
to make un estimate of the costs of reconstruction,
and of building a new Capitol. As far as he was
concerned, he would assume the responsibility of
deciding the matter without referring it to’the
people.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, remarked that it appear
ed to him that the gentlemen from Gilmer and
Greene seriously apprehended that he desired to
make a carpenter of his Excellency.
The gentleman from Gilmer offered a similar
resolution at the last session of the Legislature.
Mr. Pickett -That was to elicit information to
be communicated to the Assembly.
Mr. Lewis—What is the difference? 1 don't re
ptile his Excellency to make the estimates, but to
procure them from competent architects. In his
last annual message, the Governor stated the pro
bable cost of reconstructing the present Capitol on
a suitable plan would be about £150, 00P.
The amendment was lost. The substitute of Mr.
Lewis, of Greene, was then carried. It provides j
for appropriating money to improve this building,
and leaves the question of removal to the people.
BILLS ON TIIEIR PASSAGE.
A bill to add an additional clause to the 10th sec
tion of the Ist article of the Constitution. Lost.

Milledgeville, Feb. 15, 1656.
SENATE.
The Senate reconsidered this morning the action
relating to the bill lost, allowing heirs at law to
settle estates among themselves.
Dr. Screven moved to reconsider the action re
lating to the disposition of Reports on the Atlanta
Batik yesterday. The motion was lost.
The Senate took up the special order of the day,
to wit: The bill to incorporate the Western arid
Vtlantic Railroad Company, and sell the Western
and Atlantic railroad. The bill was taken up by
sections. In the first section, estimating the low
.-.st bid for the road, it was proposed to strike out
£5,500,000, and insert £10,000,000. The motion
was divided, and the Senate first considered the
motion to “strike out," which was ably discussed.
The motion was carried, and the 5,500,000 struck
<>u', £ls, V, 6, and 7.5-'o,odo, were successively pro
posed, to till the blank with, but lost. sfJ,Ooo,ooo
was finally determined upon. Several other «•
mendmeuis were proposed. The whole afternoon,
and part of the morning, were taken tip in the con
sideration of the bill, though it is hardly com
menced. \ point of order was raised bv Mr.
Pope of Wilkes, whether this bill is not identical
with the one lost a fi-w days ago, providing for the
transfer of the road to a company of individuals,
and hence would require two-thirds to consider it.
He was overruled bv the President, and appealed
from the decision. 'The Senate sustained tin- Chair.
Pending the hill, the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
Dr. Philips moved a reconsideration of the hill
relating to the appropriation ot money to repair
the Capitol. In support of the motion, Dr. Pan.
ips said that it was beyond doubt, that the State
House was in a ruinous, dilapidated condition.
.£] ,000 would be insufficient to leave the house in
a safe condition until the session of the next As
sembly. He was not in favor of referring the
“Removal Question” to the people a second time,
they having decisively decided against removal.
Mr. Fields opposed the motion. Too much time
was consumed by these reconsiderations, at this
, late day in the session. The matter had not been
distinctly understood by the people when they vo
ted, and it was right to place it in its true light be
' fore them, that they might have a distinct under
standing of what they were doing. The great
argument against removal was the expense of again
erecting new buildings. In the counties where the
matter was discussed, and the expense of remodel
ling the present house shown, large majorities had
voted for removal. In his county, out of 1,97 0
votes, all but 7 were in favor ot removal to Atlan
ta. The motion to reconsider was lost. Ayes 47 :
navs 74.
Mr. Jones of Muscogee, moved toreconsider th-
Garnishment and Retaliation bill lost yesterday.
Considering the peculiar state of things at the pre
sent time, the House ought to take some action on
the subject. Some mode of retaliation against the
aggrievances of tbe North should be adopted.
Mr. 11 Altai.', of Fulton, favored re-cousideration.
Hitherto he had taken a conservative staud, since
his entrance into the Legislature, and voted against
the present bill because it weakened the Georgia
platform, and gave a loophole for the timid to creep
out But the times had changed. The future was
dark aud ominous of evil. Ho held in his hands
some papers containing a preamble and resolutions
ot the Ohio Legislature, which had completely
i changed his opinions on the matter; they caused
him to vote for a re-consideration of that which he
opposed yesterday as unconstitutional. He did it, •
lion et er, to offer a substitute. These preamble and
resolutions state that in consideration of the out
rages that have been committed bv the hordes of
ruffians that hare from time to" time invaded
Kansas, it is resolved that the State of Ohio, in its
sovereign capacity, shall raise, arm and equip five
regiments of volunteers, aud provide Ihent with j
tite necessary ammunitions and provisions for six j
months service, to go to Kansas and protect the
people front the land pirates that are outraging the
country. °
He Mr. Harris) would offer the following reso
lutions that, whereas a resolution has been offered i
in the Legislature of Ohio, in the following words: -
' Hem, That it is the duty of the State of
Ohio, m the exercise of its ‘popular sovereignty,’ i
through its General Assembly, to raise, arm and I
' T I, P live regiments of volunteers; to provide all
the necessary provisions, munitions and pav, for
mx months service in Kansas, to preserve the
peace, and protect the settlers from the depreda
tions of the land pirates who infest that territory.” !
And whereas, such interference On the part of ,
that State is unauthorised by the Constitution, rev- !
olutionary in its character, imd utterly subversive ’
of our rights under the Federal compact. And
whereas, our property, our honors, our lives, and I
the lives of our wives and children, tiro peril led by
such wanton, aggressive and treasonable actions.
And whereas, it is the right of any people to repel
lorce with force-
I!e it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre- ■
tat ires qf the .s tab of Georgia. in General As
- - rnbly met, and it is her, by enacted hr/ the authority t
aforesaid, That when the Governor of the State of j
Georgia shall he advised that the provisions of the '
resolutions pending in the Legislature of Ohio has j
iieen adopted, and efforts made to carry it into ef
t'.-et by raising -aid regiments, it shall "be his duty
10 raise a like number of regiments, fullv armed
and equipped, at the expense of the State, to be
maintained by her public treasure for twelve
months,and tender their services to’the President
ot the United States, as volunteers to repel the ag
gressions of the State of Ohio. It shall be the
duty of said President to accept or reject the ser
vices of said regiments, within twenty days after
the Governor of Georgia shall tender them*to him.
I,e it further enacted, That if the President of the I
L nited States shall reject such volunteers, and the
Governor of Georgia shall believe that proper ar
rangements are not being made by hint to repel I
lorce with force, His Excellence, the Governor,
'hall immediately tender the services of said regi- I
raents to the people of Kansas.
He wished to reconsider the Garnishment bill, |
and strike out all after the enacting clause, and in
sert the above as a substitute. This proved he was !
in favor of retaliation when it was necessary. The I
resolutions ot the Ohio Legislature were not be
fore him when he spoke on the Kansas bill. If the t
President accepted the services of the regiments, !
Georgia would receive the sanction of the Federal
Government, and all the importance resulting from
- licit sanction. It the President refuses, the last
trust is iu Heaven, and upon the arm of God can
we tall back.
Mr. Johnson, of Cass Mr. Speaker: Consider
ing thin bill a cowardly, base attack upon the
rights of Georgians, not upon Abolitionists, 1 arn
opposed to the reconsideration. Though 1 favor
the bill of Mr. H arris, l am yet unwilling to make
use ot the Attachment and Garnishment bill to
accomplish my purposes. Let the dead bill re
main dead; and the gentleman from Fulton can
bring in his as new matter.
Mr. Jones -Sir, 1 do not consider that the gen
tleman from Cass impugns the courage of the
trietnls of the Attachment bill, but 1 am somewhat 1
surprised that he characterizes it as cowardly,
when it is so well precedented, the substance of it
being that Georgians can trade with their friends
and quit their enemies. lam opposed to a federal
orotective tariff", but [ deem this bill a sound one.
I support anv measure that will cut off from the
North the immense influx of gold into Northern
coffers. Let the gentleman take as ultra and bold
a stand as he pleases, and he will find one unfa.il
nig supporter and triend. The Attachment bill
contains nothing new or strange. I tic- measures
~re those which have been tried time and again
by different nation*, and I am sorrv to hear them
denounced as cowardly and base.’ Sir, these as
sertions are unworthy the source from whence they
originated; the smallest indications of resistance
at the South should he encouraged.
.Mr Johnson -Sir, the gentleman front Musco
gee has judged me rightly, in saying I meant no
imputation. But I still hold to mv position that it
ii base to redress wrongs by ’the infliction of
wrongs on our own people. The bill proposes to
tax Georgians ten per cent, on all goods bought in
the .States which disregard the rights of the South.
I am for direct retaliation by some such measure
ns that of the gentleman front Fulton.
Mr. Crook, of Chattooga--Mr. Speaker: Mv
Kansas bill not ultra, not revolutionary, wns
killed -yet to-day some of the most violent retail
story measures are proposed. Thank God, the
light is breaking. 1 am too full to speak. Sir, when
the < lUtipromise ot 1-40 was adopted, we were told
that agitation should cease, lias it censed? No!
it is still agitate, down with slavery. Agitation
is higher than it ever has been before. An Aboli
tion Congress, an Abolition Speaker! Von ha\-e
heard to-day of proposals to raise armed regi
ments to act in the matter. Yet, mv Kansas bill
was pronounced unjust, unconstitutional, injudi
cious. Sir, 1 cannot speak ; my heart is too full.
she motion to re-consider was carried, and the
bill and the Ohio resolutions, and Mr. Harris’s
bill, referred to the Committee on the Republic.
Messrs. Milledoe, Philips and Haeris, of Fulton,
were added to the Committee. To-morrow the
Committee will report. y

ZCE’ A Perfumed Breath. What Lady
or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, bv using the “BALM
OF \ THOUSAND FLOWERS" as a dentrifice,
would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
their breath is had, and the subject is so delicate
their friends will never mention it. Pour a single
drop of the “ Balm " on your tooth-brush, and
wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
bottle will last a year.
A Bbautiftl Complexion may easily he acquired
by using the “ Balm of a Thousand Elmeers." It
will remove tan, pimples and fredden from the skin,
j leaving it of a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel,
I pour on two or three drops, and wash the face night
■ and morning.
Shaving Maui: Easy. Wet your shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour *>u two or three
drops of the “ Balm of a Thousand Flower*," rub
the beard well, and it will make a beautiful soft
lather, much facilitating the operation of shaving.
