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. BILLS ON THI.IR PASSAGE. ihe special order of the day was taken up, to iv.t the bill incorporating the “Timber Cutters' Bank " in Savannah, and passed. A bill to consolidate the Gainesville and Ghana 11 oochee railroad Companies.

It is anticipated that o'will be reconsidered to-morrow.

A bill to authorize heirs at law to settle estates among themselves. On motion, the bill was post poned indefinitely. A bill to increase the duties of Tax Collectors, and Receivers, Lost. A bill for the relief of Tax Collectors. Passed. 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. This provides for limiting the Legislature in making appropriations.

Passed. A Senate bill to alter and amend the ">tii section of the charter of the Southern Botanic Medical 1 College, by changing the name to tbe “Reform Medical College " Passed. V 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 C'oiigression til. COMMITTERS APPOINTED.
