He has been one of the cheering and enlivening stars in the drama tic firmament the past week, aud has caused an abundance of pleasant humor to abound, and bright smiles and happy hearts to enliven the au diences at Concert Hall. Four very amusing pieces make up the enter tainments to-night.

VY. publish in another column the proceeding* of the meeting held in this city on Saturday night, to take into consideration the policy of subscribing for stock in the Savannah Valley railroad. An abstract of the speeches of Col. Calhoun and Judge Kino are unavoidably postponed. A Very Important Case. The Washington Star says: One of the most im portant cases ever brought up for adjudication by the Supreme Court is now being tried before that august tribunal No. 61, Drea Scott, plaintiff in error, as. John F. A. Sanford. Mr. Montgomery Br air for tho plaintiff in p w,p . «nd tlm Hon Messrs. Gf.yee and IlEVEiinr Johnson for the de fendant in error. The poiats particularly in issue are, first, the right of citizens of slaveholding States to carry their slaves into non-slaveholding States for a temporary sojourn there, without the loss of their right of property in .such slaves; and next, the constitutionality of the Missouri compro mise, as involved in the question of the right of Congress to legislate with reference to slavery in United States Territories. Scene in the Georgia Senate. An interesting episode occurred in the Senate on Saturday afternoon, in the debate on the bill for the sale of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. Our Reporter gives but a faint sketch of it, though it is substantially correct as far as it goes. When the provision prohibiting citizens north of Mason and Dixon’.-, line from taking stock in the proposed Western and Atlantic Railroad Compa ny nas under consideration, Mr. Rope made an impassioned and spirit stirring appeal ;• the pa triotism and conservatism of the South, not to in corporate such a feature in its policy. He de nounced it as sectional, illiberal, and impolitic. He referred to the true and tried national men of the North, friends of the Constitution, and suppor ters of the equal rights of the South in the Union. He argued that the same iutluenees which had in duced Northern men to vote for the Nebraska- Kansas acts, by which the Missouri restriction was obliterated, and these Territories opened to the equal participation will l the North in its settle ment were still at work in the North, and were gaining strength there -that a healthy re-ac tion was going on in our favor, and in belialt of constitutional principles, and that at this lime an attempt to revive geographical lines, and increase sectional animosities, would come with an ill grace from a Southern State—from the State of Georgia, which had warmly ap proved of the abrogation of that sectional division, the Missouri compromise line —which the Nebras ka-Kansas bill accomplished. He spoke of Gen. Pierce in terms of commendation as a President who had proved himself a national man, and sound and reliable on tbe question of slavery. He bad proved himself a friend to those Constitution al rights so vitally dear to the South, and urged that while he discharged so nobly the duties of his high position, the South should fed it to be her pride and her duty to strive to soothe the sectional irritation tbai was unhappily prevailing. The pro vision under consideration was a step towards a dissolution of the Confederacy and intestine strife, li should be the aim of every Georgian who loved his country, to seek to avert that result s» long as it could be done consistently with the rights and honor of our State and section. At the allusion to President Pierce, the Sena tor’s on the Democratic side could not be restrain ed. hut responded w ith plaudits which were caught up in the lobby and gallery, in a wav to show un mistakably how warmly the conduct of President Pier e was approved, and how strong was his hold on too admiration of those present, liven some ol the opposite side of the Senate indicated their sym pathy with the prevalent feeling. Senator Wklbokn, of Whitfield, in reply, sta led that if the exercise of the privilege by Georgia of specifying to whom she would prefer to sell her property, and whom she would exclude from the list of purchasers, should be visited upon Iter with war and all its horrors, he would exclaim, let it coil)?. As the Sen-nor from Whittield is understood to be :i Minister of ilie Gospel, a fact to which Judge t 'onc alluded in reply, the latter undertook to read a lecture to the* Reverend Senator for uttering sen timents so little in unison with the teachings of his Divine Master, a- disclosed in the New Testa ment, abook with which the Judge declared himself well acquainted. Mi Welbobn, interrupting, said he did not know, before, the grave Senator, whose head was whitened by sixty^winters, had become a B -hop; to which the Judge replied, that though not a Bishop, he knew a great deal more of the Bible thau many of the Priests. lie then made an appeal against sectional divis ions and lines drawn by unfriendly legislation— deprecated war as not only the greatest of calam ities. but as the greatest wickedness and foil) He expressed a hope that even in the short rem nant of his days, he should c ee a Congress of na tions organized to settle peacefully all disputes and controversies. He, also, expressed a belief that a great and healthy reaction was going on in the public mind at the North, in favor of the Constitution— that the mass of the people there, had been deluded by politicians for the purpose of gaining oilice and power, that it had succeeded in giving such men as Banks the Speaker’s Chair, but the people were now arousing up to the dangers to which this ex citement were lending, and would yet come hack to their fidelit) to the Constitution. He complimented President Piste s for his pa triotic C ■ irse, and expressed his confidence in his - lundness. He said the South could safely trust jio vast interests in his keeping, as the chief mag istral ?of this great Union. But the provision of the bill under discussion declared lie could not be trusted by Georgia to hold stock in the Western and Atlantic railroad. He showed up the absurdi tv of such a position, and appealed to Senators to adopt a comprehensive and patriotic policy, which embraced the whole Union as our cotnutou coun try, and to move on in the peaceful progress of the great destiny that was before u- as a .treat nation. In conclusion he exclaimed, 1 am for America now ami America forever. lie denied, in reply to Mr. Wkllbob.v, that he had denounced Gen. Fieri k as unsound, but had stud be did not like some of his appointments. \t e have noticed this debate, or this portion of it, for two reasons, one to notice the compliment paid President Pierce, and the warm manner in which it was received. For the hall again re sounded with applause when Judge Conk eu logized the President. The other, to do justice to Mr. Wellborn, who, though advocating the exclusion of stockholders from the North, did not express sentiments inconsistent with a Christian faith and a peaceful spirit. He said, in efi'eet, he would welcome war and all its horror*, if forced upon us, for having exercised our unquestionable rights. Isaac D’Lton, a worthy and popular citiien ot •'savannah, died in that citv on Saturday last.
