' ' ' 7' ; and to-day I feel. sir. that I b --a few remarks, defining my post tion, and giving my reasons for thus moi ing. Sir, 1 am opposed to any legislation that contemplates a disruption of the ties that hind this Union to gether. I deem it improper legislation, entirely j uncalled for, and if obstinately persisted in, preg i “ant with the deepest, gloomiest, most destructive consequences to our country. Congress wiped out the only geographical distinction between the N orth and South—the Missouri Compromise -the a-t was approved hv the Southern people. We now are called upsn by this section to engraft up i on our i-nate legislation the same sectional policy which was condemned then. lam opposed to the j Missouri Compromise, because it recognizes and j establishes distinction between different sections m our country. We, sir, ought to he the last ones j to countenance, and encourage, and foster such u policy. When Congress blotted out the geograph ical line, caused by the Missouri Compromise, she blotted out the last one, and now no geographical division exists between the North and the South, and J never will contribute, by mv voice, or my vote to establish anv new line. ‘ We are either one united people, united in interest, united in sympa thy, united in fraternal affection, united in pros : peri tv and adversity, living under one form of government, with common privileges and rights and immunities, enjoying in common the benefits and glory of Republican principles, or else wc are a people divided, and thu spe- j 1 cies of legislation only tends to hasten the ! dissolution of our government. I am opposed to it. sir, opposed in principle, and shall ever light i it. 1 would have no North, no South, no East, no j West, no sectional interests, but an undivided j I niiin. lam glad, sir, to see that Judge Cone lias come out m favor of our President; 1 like to see him clothed in his right garments, and advocating the right policy. Mr. Welborn, of Whitfield—Sir. if war is to take place between the North and the South, from their aggressions and insults, let it come with all its horrors. I for one will never yield, hut struggle to the last. Mr. llaudbman, of IJibb—Mr. President, there is a report of the committee on the republic. Let us hear it and all go off in a state of spontaneous combustion. Judge Conk—Sir, 1 little expected to see a disci- j pie t turning to Mr. Welborn j of the Great Master i <>f life who teaches, “when a brother smite thee] ; on one cheek, turn the other also,” and tell us | that, “ blessed are the peace makers, for they shall ! inherit the kingdom of Heaven;’’ little did 1 ex- J pect to sec such a one uttering sentiments con- | temned by the Bible, which pronounces war a ! ; curse. Mr. Welborn —l did not know that Jliniiop Cone whs so well versed in Scripture; this is some thing new. Jt hge C >\i* —T es, Mr, I know a great deal more about the Testament than those who call them '(•l ves primU, and make a business of teaching the glorious precepts of that glorious book. [am op posed to war, and if my belligerent friend wishes to engage in the deadly strife, he must excuse me, l>r 1 can’t accompany. (All this was said with 'itch admirable gravity, that the Senate indulged in roars of laughter and thunders of applause. Mr. A\ Ki.LBORN is a preacher, i Judge Conk con tinued, by saving, Sir, I have no bitter animosity against the North, that would lead me to utterly repudiate Northern interests. 1 am vet, sir, as true a Georgian as ever lived, and love mv State and her prosperity. HV hair n Pretid nt with na tioiudjci /inipi, who will have at heart Southern in ' rest*, and who will stand by us. We have a sound President, and by this section you say he is not worthy of holding stock in your railroad company. I am emphatically an American, in name and in eality. Let us spread out our hands and take the Union in one broad embrace, let us rejoice in a uni ty of interests. Melting our individualties into mie, our progress will be onward, onward, Amer ica, one and indivisible, now and forever. Mr. Wellborn lam somewhat surprised to see the groat change in Judge Cone. During the last political campaign he was most bitterly opposed to President Pierce, and called him an unsound man. Now he conies out and speaks in the most glowing terms of Mr. Pierce. Judge Conk -1 never called him nil unsound man, but 1 do not like some of his appointments. Presikknt -Gentlemen, this is not. a theatre, but ! a Senate Chamber, and 1 have no doubt if you will allow ns to hear the remarks, by making less noise we shall be particularly edified. Mr. Welborn—Sir. i believe we all love Amer ica. In relation to all this gunpowder, and war and sulphur, that the gentleman has’ attributed in me, 1 would say that Mr. Pope first spoke of war, and I only said if there is to be a war. be cause wc reserve the right to sell our property to , whom we please—let it come. The motion was put and carried, and the objec tionable feature stricken out, and ihe Senate ad journed. HOUSE. REMOVAL OF THE PENITENTIARY. The bill for ihe removal of the Penitentiary has been ihe principal business to-dav. A very stale, 1 bit and unprofitable debate has taken place upon ' it, in which the most prominent fact was the great • iion-aequaintance with the condition of our Peni tentiary. It was passed. It authorises the pur ■hase of five acres of Stone Mountain, the con- • struction of two hundred and fifty cells, enclosed * by a wall twenty feet high and two feet thick. A. 1 lie-ported for the Coiui it iUiorul liet. 1 MtLLBDGEVII.LB, Feb. 15, 1656. j s'-! < of the Itduite in the Senate, 01, mot ion of pr. Sereven, of Chatham, to rte,>n-eider the. action rela ti up to the disposal, of ike majority and minority lleport-i on thi “ Atlanta Bank," which were laid J 0.-i the table ji<e tlo bod tor. of the session. Dr. Screven uttered a few remarks why he had made the motion. He said that he was a member :>f tli.t majority committee, and that that commit- j ti e liad labored very hard to sift the truth out, and be thought they deserved b> be heard, aud not slighted by no attention being paid to them. They were actuated by the best of motives, by a desire to do good, and he hoped the Senate would reconsider its action of yesterday. Judge Conk, of Greene -Mr. President, I have a few reasons to state why I think that this motion should prevail, and will presume upon the time of the Senate long enough to state those reasons. I ; wish every member, sir, to exercise his unclouded reason and impartial judgment 411 deciding this matter, for i consider it one of ?THve and deep im portance, and demands more consideration than the summary, hasty, disposition that was made of it yesterday. Ido not wish gentlemen to vote as i do unless they think so, but I would have every one’s decision the result of mature deliberation. 1 consider the action of yesterday as too hasty, it looks as if the gentlemen desired to hush up and j Mop investigation. This is not a proper way of acting upon such n matter; it should rather be an ; •bject to investigate and examine to the utmost .ini ascertain everything thatjelucidat.es truth, than ] quash the search and let an unsound banking in- ■ Mitution live and be a curse upon the country. , If this Bank is sound, why be afraid to undergo I the niosi searching examination? no harm or in- I jurv can be done, and the Bank will be placed upon ] ; tinner basis; if it is unsound, then it is the duty ,f the Senators to annihilate it. Sir, the Governor, in his message, recommends iin investigation in the subject of foreign eireula- ; lions, and condemns, as reprehensible, the plan of ; an institution of sending their bank notes into j some out of the way place, at a considerable dis tance from the locality of the Bank, and putting i them in circulation there, while at home they are j almost entirely ignored and unrecognized. Sir, kis is a great evil, and has a tendency to depre ciate thceurrency of the State, and the most un ceasing efforts should be made to remedy the evil, j 1 live in the neighborhood of Greensboro’, not a great distance front Atlanta, yet even there the notes of the Atlanta Bank are not received. And upon the railroad in many places "no one will take them in payment. Now, sir, 1 say it is not a sound Bank whose notes are not current in its own neigh ! bnrhood, are not used in trading, in the every-day ; transactions of business; and 1 consider it our dll- ‘ tv. as Representatives, to notice such an institution, and commence such investigations as will clearly manifest whether it is a safe depository for the peo ple's pecuniary confidence. 1 stand here to dis charge my duty with an eye to the public good, and anything that will depreciate property and de stroy labor, should be unrelentingly crushed; and ; if there is anything that will produce such detri mental, injurious effects upon the prosperity of the people, it ts a bad, unsound, unsafe banking cur rency. Confidence at home and abroad is injured, \ and a great blow is struck at. your commercial in stitutions. Sir, since the publication of our report we have been made the objects of most virulent and gross attacks by the Atlanta press. They have assaulted men who were engaged in the honest endeavor to discharge a duty which had been placed upon them bv their country. Actuated by the purest motives, uninfluenced by prejudices, trying to do our duty as honest legislators, we have been unceasingl'v abused and villified bv the Atlanta press. Again, sir, I was asked my advice as to how this Bank could go into operation, and how the charter could be sold. 1 gave it, and stated my views, but they were not noticed. I stated w hat legal require ments it was necessary to observe, in order that there could be no room for liability to forfeiture from violation of charter. My views were disre garded. 1 also sustained mv views by adducing th ■ opinions of the Supreme Court in a certain case, relating to how Bank charters may by bought. I hope, sir, this motion will prevail. It it does 1 will sustain the majority report bv some more ex ' tended remarks. Mr. McMillan, of Habersham, spoke in reply to , Judge Cone. He would state the reasons that had ’ influenced him in voting yesterday for indefinite postponement, and for opposing reconsideration ■ to-day. He would remark here that he bore no ! unkindness, aud meant no disrespect to any niern f bers with whom he might differ m opinion. The Senator from Greene had put the question upon a 1 wrong footing, a false issue, when he said dial postponing wa» quashing investigation This was , not so. A thorough aud complete investigation ; had been had, and it was consuming time UMdesslv ; to continue it, and it was due the Bank to have re j pose. TheSeuatorsaid that the Governor in hismes | sage recommends an investigation into the “distant 1 circulation”of Banksin this .State, This could be ap ! plied to the other Banks as well a- the Atlanta Bank. | Why single out this Bank? But if this is true ! about the Atlanta Bank only, it is the highest com ! pliment that could be paid to the institution. It ! proves that so good is the credit of the Bank, and j the confidence in the integrity and honesty of the ! officers, that the currency of its notes is promptly ; acknowledged out of the Sute. lias not everv ! Bank in this State got a circulation out < f the State. ‘ ■ j If they have not, it cannot be because 'they do not | desire it. The Senator says the notes of the At lanta Bank do not pass at Greensboro’. Why. ir, it is a wonder that they pass anywhere. What other Bank in Georgia could have stood up under j the hue and cry that has been raised against it? j From its very infancy the most searching investi | gation, yea, the most hornin') inouidji in, has been I endured by it, and vet it still' lives as bright as ] ever. This persecution would injure any Bank. ] The people would say where there is so much i smoke, there must be some lire, there is something “ rotten in Denmark.” It is thus that the tinder j currents of avarice, or jealousy, or malice —in the I still hours of sacred repose, whisper forth their > slanders against female virtue, or manly rectitude, j They strengthen as they go. until they have per formed their office upon tln.ir victims. Senators, j is it to be wondered that tic bilD of this Bank are j in bad odor? | The Senator says that the t'onimittoe have been abused by the prerHof Atlanta. Sir. the press of Atlanta would have keen derelict in their duty, as ; faithful sentinels upon the watchtotver •■!' ihe rights ■ of their citizens, had tln v remained silent under the circumstances. B was their duty; a duty which they owed alike to their Bank and their 1 count v, and especially to the community in which they live. Sir, the crura-!,,■* against this Bank should he the hre ones to complain of the press, j It is a well known fact, sir, that no sooner is an at- 1 tempt made to establish a Bank in the interior of j j Georgia, than the press of Augusta and Savannah ! ring from the seaboard to the mountains the cry of j i "Wild Cat, Wild Cat, Wild ('at!” and thus ignore j ] the necessities of the interior communities, and : 1 prevent competition with the Augusta and Sat an- 1 | nail Banks. We are left to their mercy for a cur rency, and to their dictation for monetary accom- , I mudation. The general cry is, that a bank cannot i sustain itself unless if is located in a large com mercial city. The truth is, that a large commer cial city or town cannot be built up, or exist with- i out banking facilities; and we will never have an | interior commercMjl city, until the erv of “Wild j Cat” is silenced. Tho avowed object of the Senator from Greene is to protect the innocent bill holder. This cry of ■ protecting the “dear people,” “the poor man,’' is not 1 a new one. This is a kind of protection ihev do not wish, that is, to be protected against having .1 good Bank in their midst, to which the poor man can apply to borrow money in emergency. 1 will not, sir, enumerate the vast benefits con ferred upon the immediate neighborhood of At- j lanta by this Bank. The bare fact that there is a > Bank where merchants can get accommodation loans, enables them to keep open a market where the poor man can sell his produce. 1 have, sir, 110 1 interest in the matter, farther than justice de- I mands. Let us look at facts. lam addressing in telligent men, and do not desire to make an argu ment as a special plea. When these cries of “Wild Cat” were being made, and discontents were clamorous, the Governor instituted a most search ing investigation into the affairs of the Bank. He j instructed the Solicitor General to make the in ves- i i.igation, which was made with the utmost fidelity. | No man who knows Logan Bleckley, doubts fur .1 ! moment either the capacity brought to the task, or 1 the integrity and stern justice observed in ihe | execution. In March, 18.'.".. George Smith being ; in Atlanta, proposed taking the entire stuck, if tin 'aw permitted him io do .<•*. After obtaining the consent of the corporation in m'ding, Iv took the , whole stock. , Recollect .Senators, we are acting on n mhitiuiis . that would criminate, and lead to the institution of ] • legal proceedings against G rouge Smith, and it is ; our duty to first substantiate facts, before wc pro- i ceed to any such extreme measures against one | who heretofore has stood unexceptionable in bis integrity and honesty. And we attempt to crimi nate this titan in the face of the minority report, 1 and the opinions contained in the Governor’s Ales- j sage, which, aft'l cxamumtiuii of U. 1 video e, , pronounces the verdict of no; guil > nf t mlalion j lif the charter. But let us examine the facts and J 1 judge for our-,. Ives. Gkokb Smith, having madb the contract for the ic.re! : -, of iq- - . , f ihe whole Bank, given an order for *7l,' > in gold, payable in New York; the specie was deposited in the vaults of Hie Savannah Bank, llier- being no safe place in Atlanta for reception and safe keeping , if the same. Now, sir, the question is, when the grant was endorsed in New York, was it or was it not a payment in specie? Wa • not the Bank of At lanta the legal owner of *2l,1 ioCi in g-ohl? Now , sir, ; 1 will take issue upon this point with any Feiia r, | . and contend, to the last, that this was a lawful pay ment of this order. Why, such instances arc of ' daily occurrence. The moment an order i- e \ knowledge!! and endorsed, tire 11 imctO Is the ’ owner of the order the possessor of the money, j even though ii has not been paid down. 1 m • •if the specie being in S,u aunah, and 11 :in A } lanta, docs not prove that the Atlanta Bank did not j own ii. Arc there no Senator; mum thi- tc» r, who | . have their plantations end their slat, ', j • . !• ; 1 lie*- have not got them In re, is no r • i»nn wilt Mich negroes are not their property. Sopot. ,e tic- j ocv deposited in the vault <.f the Savann h Banks | had become, by some milutv.- .a a i.lent, hst, : who would hare borne the hi " the Atlanta Bank, • sir. But Mr. Smith offered to go to Savannah and ! get the specie and pay it ia Atlanta, but tin Dircc- J tors did not desire u, 8 r •>pi > • which to put ii. Sow. sir, th Batik did 11 • ••••i.™ any notes until the specie had been deposited in Savannah : therefore, it did not vii Ml ■ . charter. Not one single bill was put in "Ir '.lad m until the institution was nominally, and 1 conn-nd, rcallv in possession of $21,000 in gold, for it could have made anv disposition of this money where it was. And at three several times, different amounts of ] specie, amounting in all, to were suttees- : slvelv deposiied in the vaults of sound solvent ! Blinks, to the credit of the .Atlanta Bank. Was it violating the charter to issue notes upon the nos- j session of this amount? Where, sir, is the erimi- ‘ nality V But, sir, the charge lias been made that this Bank had an unlawful “far, inn " V • let'an." 1 Where is there the evidence to prove this, to cstab- j li.sh the charge? Another strong reason for not condemning this ! Bank 11s safe and unsound. Bv whom h ive these ; complaints been made? Bv thus ■ who recognised and took the notes of this iiisiilittioii, or those who I would have 110 connection with if If thos - who I patronized the Bank had wver utiefi-d a word oft complaint, but had always been per, -tly tiiMied with its dealings and transactions, is ii right to j allow the interference of those who stand aloof, and disclaim all business wirii the institution? j Have any been injured by confidence in the Bank? lias any word of dissati-faction ever been expressed? j Should not some re-pert he paid io i'i" opinions | of the Solicitor General, Mr. 13:.! ' ki i:v, who. •••I’ler the most scrutinising.exmiiinai'ou was unable to find sufficient evidence of violation of charter; and of the Governor, who, in his message, sustains the . opinion of the Solicitor? The Bank stands unimpeaehed by a single direct j testimony, and by this investigation will be brought 1 before the people as a sound banking institution. In conclusion, I would say I bear no ill will, or mean anv disrespect to Dr. Scbbvkn, who motioned for re-consideration. There i- no gentleman for whom I entertain higher feelings of respect and reverence than the Senator from Chatham. Mr. Mrnrirr, of DeKalb Mr. Sneaker, at the commencement of nay remarks 1 will say, in order I that no false impressions may arise, that all the members of this Committee are rny personal j friends, and in anything 1 may say against their ■ views, lam actuated by no unfriendly feelings,but ; hv lmucst convictions of right. I intended no dis- i respect by calling the previous question, and thus j cutting off all debate. The committee had been hoard in their report upon the testimony, they had ; ! drawn their deductions from the facts, and the; Senate was acquainted with their opinions; hence, j no injustice was intimated by postponing, i, sir, , have read the testimony, and carefully considered ; it, and have exercised mv own judgment, and formed mv own opinions, and am perfectly satis fied, in mv own mind. The gentlemen talk "t - laird charter. 1 find no violation of chart.-! noth i ing corroborating such a charge—no testimony ol anv one who has been connected with the Bank in business transactions. Who does the complaint come from? Not from those who deal with it, but from those who do not deal with it. j Sir, this action of postponement, is no disrespect to the committee, hut I consider it a high compli ment to their energy and per; everauc- in ferreting out all th" facts. It proves that they have done j their duty, and done it well —accomplished what was desired of them. Mr. Pebfles, of Clarke- 1 have 11!. or. • idea to present, Mr. President, and one alone. This inves tigation originated with my predecessor, one of ' the oldest Bank operators in the State. The ex ■ animation was made, aud if there had bear any violation of charter, he would have In i n a> capa , hie of judging of it as any man, vet it was decided there was no violation, there was nothing to - 111c -1 tion the. cry of “Wild Cat.” Mr. I1ili„ sir, is in the habit of cashing the bills on this Bank, aud i have often aided him in doing this, if there was i anything wrong with the institution, anv unsound 1 1 ess. he should know. Surely, sir, the gentlemen annot complain of the action taken on their Rc -1 tort; if any should complain it is iU friends of the 1 Bank, for the examination is attempted to be kept - up, when there is no need of it ; rS:e whole matter • lie* before you, and great injustice is done bv con -1 tinning this cry against it. t Mr, Hardeman, of Bibb—Mr. President, itbe « ing near the close of the session, and as there is » general good feeling prevailing, I more to change the present scene into a Senatorial love confer ; enee. Dr. Sckkvkv -Sir, niv views have undergone much change since the Report of the committee 1 thought at first that I had good grounds for niv opinion. It did appear to me, from the letters of the Solicitor General, that there had been a real | benu mb violation of the charter. When 1 signed the Report, I had no evidence that there had been a payment of specie; but 1 have since read an affi davit, sworn to and witnessed, that specie had been paid. 1, therefore, do not agree in my former opin ion, that the charter should be forfeited. 1 deem it my duty' to say ibis as an act of justice. Mr. Bl.vsley, of Troup—l would simply state that niv opinions remain unaltered, and 1 take the same ground that I did when I agreed to the lte l port. ' The motion to reconsider was put to the .Senate and lost. .\_ [com m in I gated. [ The Witness Case. Mr. L’dltyr: The communication in vour paper of lasi. Tuesday, records a state of things that ought to be remedied. That a peaceable citizen should thus be deprived of his liberty, merely because he accidentally happens to witness a violation of /.'tic, dues certainly seem to he inconsistent with the spirit or genius.of our institutions. If it be j necessary to the ends of justice, that the services ; of a witness be secured by the State, and that this can only be done by the imprisonment of a friend- j l Jess citizen, would it not be proper that the person J whose services are thus important, should be pro- j vided with, at least, comfortable lodgings and he j : compensated for his loss of time and liberty? Is | it right to force a man into the service of the State, | and to deprive him of the liberty' to earn a liveli ! Imod for himself and family, while ho is thus coerced, without any remuneration whatever, for such hardships? 1 am pleased to see that this ' matter has been brought before the public, and | trust that sonic remedy may be found for such a ! monstrous evil. .IrsTtcK.

That the whole matter be re ferred to a committee of thirteen, whose duty i> ill be to collect all information calculated to enlighten this community, as to the advantages or disadvantages likely to result to us from the build ing of the Savannah Valiev railroad, and whether in view of all the circumstances, a subscription should be made, and if made upon what terms; and to report the result to an adjourned meeting of citizens.

M. Bk.:nai:i\ a French chemist, has, it is said, demon - iroted, by several experiments, that the white of eggs can only be assimilated or convert ed into food for the human body through the in tervention of the liver. Guided by this fact, Dr. Gieslkh, of Goettingen, has suggested its employ ment in the treatment of jaundice. If the diges tion of the albumen of eggs tend to rouse the ac tion of the liver, it will necessarily restore the se cretion of bile and cure jaundice.
