DULY CONSTITUTION lUXT Blf JAMES GARDNER. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEB’Y 20. Harpers’ Magazine for March. We are indebted to Thos. Richards A S in. < a copy of the above named magazine. It is an in teresting number, and contains another portion of Dickens' Little lturrit. It is for sale by Titos. Richards A Son. Byass’ Pale -Vie anil Porter. The Messrs.

VVe were in a convalescent condi tion yesterday, and fully appreciated what we had the favorable opportunity of enjoying. “The Wild Men.” Under this captivating title, the public are invi • T to the Masonic Hall; where, as the advertise meat announces, “ Wonders will be seen.” The exhibition consist-, of two dwarfs, physi cally and mentally, with half-witted countenances, small, mis-shapen heads, and loug, soft, brown hair streaming down their backs. Their eye- an dark hazel; their complexions sallow, but inclin ing more to the blonde than brunette. Their up pearance would indicate ages between twenty and thirty. Their faces are effeminate, —barring th lack of comeliness; beardless, but with a slight show of down. Both are well formed, and mus cular, for littic men of three and a-half feet high ; and by training, are able to exhibit a few reins : I. able feats of strength. One of them raised I'o.m the floor, in our presence, two men weighing, to gether, three hundred and sixty pounds. One of the dwarfs is very social and poliie, though his obeisances are anything but graceful. His bearing is as grotesque as his antics, which at. playful and good humored He is anything hot a wild man The other affects that character pi e-tty weil; and plays the morose savage, in a style that would do credit to Forrest, in Metamora. it, performs a part, to which he is trained, by wa v ot giving variety, as weil as novelty, to the show. He snaps and bites at visitors who try to touch him, in a charmingly malicious way ; and strides intpa tieutly up and down the raised dais against the wail, like a veritable little wild tiger, in his cage. The exhibition is worth seeing. We were well repaid by our visit. These are curious little speci mens of humanity, and in their tight fitting stock inett, and with their long streaming hair, sl op little eyes, and puny faces, they are “types of man kind," which amuse children, excite the pit . -I ladies and afford a theme for speculative mind mi the unity of the race. Beyond this we have not much to say. Let ~t: c rs go and see for themselves. There is a g »d deal of humbug mixed up in the affair. Myst-iy. that efllcient co-worker, is called to the aid of hum bug, and no “authentic" account, in pampide form, is handed round to tell how these wild men ~f Borneo were caught and tamed. Barxilm’s ac count of the manner of the capture of the Fei-j,-.- mermaid, though ingenious, was not got up v, iii sufficient plausibility to stand criticism. The pre sent showmen take warning, and are discreetly - lent. We are left to imagination and eonject u to supply the blank. But the dwarfs will not stand muster as natn - of the equatorial isle of Borneo—no such torrid sun has ever burnt upon their little bodies. Tb iv would be little hazard in a wager that these inter < xting little strangers were never in five thousmi miles of the longitude of the nativity of the Si a mese twins. The United Slates may yet establish a claim to the honor of the birth-place of lit " •• wild men of Borneo." But which ot the con! d erate sisters is entitled to the distinction, may U like the nativity of “ the blind old man of Scin - rocky isle,” a theme of emulous controversy. Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Bill. W, regret to notice, from the report of our Mi! ledgeville correspondent, that this important I -il: Das failed to pass the House. We sincerely hop, that the bill will be reconsidered, and pass tri umphantly the ordeal of scrutiny through hot I branches, and become a law. What the V> esten, and Atlantic road did for upper Georgia, ths p r pected Atlantic and Gulf road would do for Sou i era Georgia, and the incidental benefit to the wh> !■ State would be as great and as enduring. ' On Monday night last a difficulty occur! in Columbia, South Carolina, between a City M it shal and a student in the South, Carolina College The student was arrested and carried to the. guari. house. A large number of other students enter •• the guard house and Imre linn oil' The Marsha was severely beaten, and several of the student' hurt, hut not dangerously. This is rather a poor compliment to the good and orderly discipline of the College in Columbia, am to the efficiency of the City Police. Soj says the Cardinwi. Yankee Si-AVKItOLDEUS. It appears’ bv the report of the Investigating Committee of the Bos ton and Providence Railroad Company, that the corporation has a large tract of woodland in Vir ginia, from which it procures its supplies of fuel, and that the agents of the company hire slaves and slave-drivers, and buy whips and thongs as disciplinary aids in carrying on the operations. At least, so we learn from the Boston ll*rah! , which adds that the State of Massachusetts has t tock interest in the railroad, and hence partici pates in the hire and punishment of these slaves. Tho Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, aft a having quoted the verdict of the Coroner’s jury in the recent sad case of Mrs. Morgan, that “from the testimony and opinion of Medical experts in this case, the jury feel compelled to caution the public against the use of chloroform, its being a dangerous anaesthetic agent.” adds: “With this recommendation we entirely agree, and we have before urged, not the necessity of cau tion —for caution seems to be of no avail in these cases—but she abandonment of chloroform and concentrated chloric, either as anaesthetic agent.- in ordinary oases, the more especially since we have the original article for producing insensibili ty to pain, sulphuric ether, which is efficient, cheap, and, above all, safe. We are not aware that any case of death has occurred from the direct efleet ui the inhalation of ether, and, although it is possi ble that such an event may take place, the article is, beyond all question, more safe than chloroform, ihe number of deaths from which now amounts, we fear, to thousands. From the Washington. Union. Wisaisoioy, D. C. Feb. 14, 1350 Mtstrt- Editors: The following item in your pa per of yesterday arrested my attention to-dav : “ The Boston Poti asks : ‘ la it true, as has been reported, that the committee on anti-slavery lec tures, who were requested by Hon Robert Toombs to hand over the one hundred dollars he declined to receive for his lecture, to some society for aiding emigrants, have given it to the society for aiding fugitive slaves to migrate to Canada " The report is not true. The enclosed short note contains the truth of the matter; which yon will much oblige me by publishing. The disposition made of the fund met my entire approval ; anti 1 am sure the gentlemen referred to are incapable of any such discourtesy as is implied in the report referred to by the Pott: their conduct towards me being marked by courtesy and kindness, for which I felt much indebted to them. I am. very respectfully, vonr ob’t serv’t, R. Toombs. Boston, Feb. 4, 1356. Dear Sir: Hon. Robert Toombs, of Georgia, lectured the 24th uh., in the course on slavery at the Tremont Temple in this city, and declined to receive any compensation therefor, but requested that the amount should he given to some society for the purpose of aiding immigrants.

FAMBRO IX HIS DEFENSE \ esterday, Mr. h ambro, of Upson, requested the attention of the Senate, while the Clerk read some documents explanatory and vindicatory of his ac tion with regard to the sale of the old iron on the State Road. The first letter is to Mr. J. ]>. Guay, of Columbus, from Mr. Cooper, stating that he had promised Mr. Wells to give him a "chance to make a bid for the old rails for the Barnsville rail road, and had made that objection to close with Maj. Howard. But Wells did not press their claim, and he had forgotten making a separate promise to Mr. Ghat, or he should have consulted him. The bids ranged *10.50 to and Maj. Howard’s being the highest bid made at the time, he closed the sale with him for $22.50. The price of new rails was ss<), and he thought half price was a good price for such old rails. 11c had on hand still, scrap-iron, which he would sell. The next document is a letter from Mr. John D. Gray, stating the facts connected with his offer, as agent of the Barnsville railroad, for the old iron of the State road. The bid was £4o, cash down, for iron delivered at Atlanta. He writes that Maj. Howard has bought sixty miles of the iron, and part of it is to be delivered this year. Mr. Gray tkinl'g the iron has not been offered to any other person besides Maj. Howard. Moreover, there is forty miles’of the iron purchased by Maj. Howard, that he , Mr. Gray i will give him *4 > per ton for. Still this for ty miles of iron is not the iron the Barnsville Com pany had been trying to purchase. The iron he bid £4O for was the iron on the road from Dalton to llosco —only eighteen miles. Maj. Howard pur chased the whole. in all about two thousand six hundred tons. He concludes with offering to buy the whole for £hs,doo. The next is also a letter from Mr. Gray to .Sir. Bethel, President of Barnsville and Thomaston railroad, dated Jan. Iti, ISSG. He writes that two or three weeks previous to date, Maj. Howard agreed to let him (Mr. Gray) have enough iron on conditions that “all fuss before the Legislature” should be withdrawn. On the day of the date .Mai. Howard tells Mr. Gray that he “should not let hint have a bar,” and he “might go ahead” and do his “best,” that he had the iron and mean! to keep it. “Write to Col. Fambro to do all he can to bring the question up, though I do not expect anything can be done, the Governor’s friends will mash every enquiry that may be attempted. 1 fear.” The next document is an affidavit sworn to 11th Feb , 1856, containing an account of the circum stances connected with the bid of Mr. Gray, of the sale to Major Howard, and of a conversation that ensued between Mr. Bethel and Gov. John son, in Augusta, on the 9th of September. In the conversation, Mr. Bethel told the Governor that, as the Barnsville Company had the oldest claim upon the iron, he ought to rescind so much of the contract with Major Howard as to let the Company have sixteen miles of the iron, and let Major How ard take the balance. The Governor seemed dis posed to treat the offer as not made in good faith, out upon Mr. Bethel assuring him there was no mistake about it, he expressed much regret for the disappointment of the Barnsville Company, and offered to write to Major Howard, requesting a re lease from the contract, and to Mr. Cooper, in structing him to get off from the contract with Ma jor Howard, if’ he could do so honorably. Mr. Bethel conveyed the letter to Mr. Cooper, from the Governor. Mr. Cooper stated that he regretted having forgotten to notify him, as he had promised, but said, also, that Mr. Wells —the first agent of the Barnsville Company—had not pressed the claim, and he thought the road was abandoned, and had forgotten the promise made to Mr. Gray, the last agent of the Company, and had let How akd have the iron. But, said Mr. Cooper, the price you offer is an inducement for me to take up more iron. Why is it, though, you are willing to give £4O for old iron, when new iron can be purchased for £SO? Says Mr. Bethel, we can make out very well with the old iron, besides, new iron is up to £OS, and still rising. Well, says Mr. Cooper, you go home to your board and propose to them to en deavor to buy new iron for ten miles, and I will let you have enough at £4O, to complete the road. 1 will take the responsibility. There is an affidavit from T. W. Rivbire, one of the Directors, that the preceding conversation be tween Mr. Cooper and Mr. Bethel, was true. There is also an affidavit from the Directors of the Barnsville and Thomaston railroad, that U. K Wells and Jou.n D. Gray were the only two au thorized agents ever employed to procure iron from the State Road. The last document is a letter from Mr. Thomas F. Bethel, to some one not named, stating that the Thomaston Company, through their Chief En gineer, contracted with Mr. Yoxoe, the former Su perintendent of the State Road, for iron to build the Thomaston road with. The first iron taken up was the iron contracted for. When the iron was taken up, the Thomaston road was not ready for it, and John P. Kino, President of the Georgia rail road, having applied for iron, Mr. Yoxoe let hitn have the iron ajreadv taken up, concluding more iron would bo ready for the Thomaston road. !!- - fore the second lot of iron was taken up, Mr. Coop er succeeded Mr. Yoxoe, and he reiterated the promise of Mr. Yoxoe, which ho say 3 he had forgotten, when he sold the iron to Maj. Howard. Mr. King paid £2B, Mr Howard paid $22,50. We have stated every fact offered by Mr. Fajiinto, in his defense, and leave the readers of this paper to draw their conclusions. A motion was made to print the above documents, but Mr. Fambbo with drew them, content, as he said, with having pre sented them to the Senate. Thus the matter stands. Miu eogkvii.le, Feb. Isth, 1856. SENATE. Upon the reading of the journal this morning, Mr. Welbobx moved to reconsider the action of the Senate, relating to the amendment of the 9th section of the bill incorporating the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, which strikes out the provision fop excluding individuals or corporations North of Mason and Dixon's line, from purchasing stock. Mr. Welborx made a short speech, defend ing his position on Saturday and reflecting upon “the passage at arms” that occurred between him self and the Senator from Greene, Upon receiv ing information that he could not reconsider the section, without reconsidering the whole bill, he withdrew his motion. The Senate agreed to House amendments to the following Senate bills, viz: A bill changing the time of holding Courts in the counties in the Patuula and Middle Circuits. A bill pointing out the mode by which Orphans and Widows can receive support from the estates of deceased parents and husbands. A bill to change the county line between the counties of Coffee and Irwin. A bill to incorporate the town of Brunswick. BILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE. A bill to form a new Circuit from the counties of Heard, Coweta, Campbell, Carroll, ilarralson, Spaulding, and Polk, to be called the Tallapoosa Circuit; amended by adding the county of Floyd. Passed. Mr. Dpxnagan, of Hall, opposed the bill because all these new Circuits presented new offices to be filled, and there were plenty of men anxious and ready to become Judges and Solicitors, and it ap peared to him this was the object of making Cir cuits. When the offices were tilled by appoint ment, there was no dearth of seekers, and he did not expect there would he a change iu this respect, now that the elections are given to the people. A bill to incorporate the North Eastern Railroad Company. The precise terminations of the road are not yet determined upon, though it is to end somewhere in Rabun, and connect with the State road. Passed. A hill to lay out and organize .a new county from the county of Franklin. There was some little talk upon this hill. Mr. Ashe, of Franklin, labored most strenuously to have it carried. The bill was lost. The unfinished business of Saturday was taken up, to-wii: The bill chartering the Western anti Atlantic Railroad Company, Ac When the Senate adjourned Saturday, the ninth section was amended. To-day the Senate commenced its action on the tenth section, whicl) was left unamended, and which gives to the Company all the privileges, rights and immunities which the State of Georgia enjoyed. Section eleventh was stricken out, and an amend meut of Judge Cone inserted, which locates the Company at Atlanta, and the rates of freight shall be the same as now used, and uniform; no dis crimination shall be made in favor of auv indi vidual or corporation, under forfeiture of five times the amount of produce discriminated against. The following amendments have been added . Ist. Should any Director move out of the State, he shall no longer be a Director. 2nd. Any person or body politic shall be autho rized to subscribe for the stock at the minimum price of seven millions of dollars, which shall have precedence over the subscription of six mil lions. 3d. Nothing in the bill shall be so construed as to allow this Company to hold stock in any other road, unless b\ the consent of the Legislature. 4th. The private stockholder.-, of this Company shall pay the same tax upon their stock that is now paid upon real estate. ■th. If any vacancy shall occur among the Di rectors. during the time when the Assembly is not in session, the Governor shall appoint a Director pro. tan., until thp session of ihe next Legislature. Cth. Suits may be instituted against the Compa ny, in any Court having jurisdiction over the cause of suit, and process of notice of suit may be served against any Depot Agent, or by leaving a copy at the Depot office. This completes the bill. . tr. Bcchaxax delivered a complete, argumen taitve, elaborate defence of the policy of not sell mg the road, lie took statistics, and facts indis putable and acknowledged, and argued in the most logical, close and strictly reasonable manner, against selling and for keeping the road under the patronage anti management of the State, and mak ing U contribute an annually increasing revenue to the Treasury. He said he wished to give the rea son* that influenced him in bis determination not to vote for this bill. He considered it the most important, momentous question that had ever been brought before the notice of the Senate, and it be hooved them to act coolv, calmly, dispassionately, deliberately on it, and let their decisions be the result iff unclouded, unprejudiced reason, and ma ture thought. It was strictly a matter of dollars and cents, and involved the great, financial inter ests of the State. The question was whether the road would pay or would not pay. If it would pay, it was their duty to keep The road; if it would not pay, it was their duty to sell it. Look at the income for the last three or four years, and every unprejudiced man must acknowledge that it has been paying. Twenty years ago, when the road was cominmenced, the people entertained the chimerical idea that as soon as forty or fifty miles was completed, the revenue would be suf ficient to almost build the remainder of the road. What road has ever paid until it was completed ? no past experience will prove that a road will pay before completed. What was the income of this road during the years 1850, and ’sl V £285,028,44. For 1851 and ’52, it was £375,176.72, showing an increase of £90,u00 in one year. For 1852 and ’53, it was showing an increase of over £loo,uoo over the last year. For 1853 and ’54. the increase was £591,154.78, showing an increase of income of over £IIO,OOO over the previous vear. For 1-54 and ’55, the income was £688,930,56" showing an increase of about £IOO,OOO over the previous year; and an increase nearly threefold in the last four years. 4et this road has not shown what can be made after sufficient improvements. Judging from the past yearly increase, by 1860, the road will pay an income of one million of dollars. It was not a road before the year 1850, it was merely the shell of a road, and therefore could make nothing; but since it has been more completed, experience proves that it will pay, and increase in its payment yearly. There are many advocates of the main trunk railroad, which is to improve and develope South Western Georgia. The State is to take stock to the amount of £500,000 for every £600,11..id subscribed by the Company. Here is aii investment required in a project that is extremely uncertain, of half a million of dollars, when we have already a road built which will pay, and which you desire to sell to people who will buy in in preference to investing in the main trunk rail road, thus proving that the State road is the safest investment of the two. If £3,600,000 worth of stock is not taken bv the people, your present pro ject is a failure, and your action’for the last two or three days on this matter, to no purpose, and the bill a nullity. But the great argument against the State road is the mismanagement. Let us examine and ascer tain some of the facts in relation to this matter, compare incomes and expenses and improvements. In 1853 when the freight business was £321,888.4-3, the car rent was £22,011,80. In 1854, when the freight was $.395,956.31, car rent was £10,780.28. lit 1855, with a freight business of £493,379.94, the current wassl,3lß.ol, thus showing a decrease in the expenditure for cars not at all proportionate with the increase of business. Where is the mis management ? Not in the Governor, not in the Su perintendents, but in the Legislature. The appro priations have not been sufficient for the actual ne cessary expenses of the road. Make a large enough outlay for improvements, and your road will pay you a handsome dividend ; and it never will pay while you keep it down by not providing ordinarV indispensable equipments. Suppose a' merchant were t«> fit out an elegant store, and then be too niggardly to buy goods to fill it. would it be sur prising if he made nothing? Such is your police with regard to this State, and at your door lies the mismanagement. What is the amount of indebtness of the road ? Let us examine this and see if it is so enormous and smrtling, One quarter of a million will cover the whole. And when does it fall due ? On Julv next there is due £25,000, in October £40,000, and in December £60,000, while the remainder is due in 1858, ’59, ’Go, ’6l, ‘62, and ’6-4. The amount to be paid this year is, altogether, £125,000, about £190,000, amounting in all to $240,000, as the stand ing bonds of the road, and which seems to fright en the members, when considering the possibility of redemption. If this road was decreasing in its profits and the amount of freight, then it would be right to sell the road; but when the reverse is the truth, when the income is yearly increasing, and at a rate that is pleasing to behold, it is a sui cidal policy that would dictate its sale. It is the same policy that would lead a man to sell negroes from six to eight years old, when by keeping them live years longer, he could realize double the profit. j Sir, these charges of mismanagement can he j easily made, but the difficulty U to substantiate j them. I hey involve the honesty o( the Governor I and the Superintendent, their integrity, their mor al character and position, and hence there : should be no mistake about them when they are ! made. But in the present case, they are ground* 1 less, and it shows a vile spirit that will lead to their ' repetition when they are false. Why cannot the ; .'■late manage the enterprise as well as a monopoly Jof private individuals'- Have the people of Geor ! gia not discernment enough to chose tit and com petent men to fill her posts of responsibility ? Men are men, whether as the agents of government, or the superintendents and agents of private mon opolies, and if the proper and suitable kind of men are placed in office, will discharge their duties I promptly and well, whether in the employ of the Slab or of individuals. Why, then, cannot Goor gia conduct this business as well as private persons 1 contend that no monopoly could have succeeded better with this grand work, than the j State. It is a work of Hercules, and requires time and money to accomplish the ends in view. Ex amining all the roads in Europe and America, 1 j say that no road is better situated than this one. I I speak from knowledge of the matter. It centers . in itself as many individual advantages as any railroad on this or the other continent. All that is necessary is for you to complete it, and von will find it tlie best investment you can make of State capital, better than main trunk railways or any other plans of improvement. \\ hen Mr. Buchanan' concluded, the previous question was called and sustained, and the bill put and carried. Ayes 53, nays 4-1, RESOLUTIONS AGItKKI) TO.

The Governor is instructed to communicate this resolution to the Governor of Vermont, with a re l quest that it be laid before tho Legislature of said State. The Committee also reported a resolution re quii ing the Governor to take suitable measures for amicable adjustment of the contending claims of South Carolina and Georgia for certain islands in the Savannah river, which is the boundary line between the two States. HOUSE. Mr. Tkrhtne moved a reconsideration of the ac tion of the House on Saturday, relating to the bill removing the Penitentiary. His object in wishing to reconsider was to make the sum appropriated ',*72,500) the limit of the expense of removing and erecting new buildings. The Lunatic Asylum had received one appropriation, which was expended, and another appropriation of double the amount was necessary for the completion of works com menced. He wished to guard against such a con -1 tiugency occuring in the present ease. Unless this was done, the next General Assembly would be obliged to appropriate monies. In his judg ment $?2,500 was insufficient to cover the expense | of removal. Mr. Rumph, of Wayne, opposed the motion. Considering the great expenditure caused bv the scheme, and the success as doubtful in the extreme, he was opposed to removal, lie doubted whether it would support itself at Stone Mountain. The institution was a curse and a burden to the State, involving an annual expenditure of *30,000. The most practicable plan was to let the present build ing remain as the Penitentiary, and make the ne cessary improvements upon it. Messrs. Fields, and Smith, of Union, also op posed. The whole matter had been carefully and deliberately investigated by the committee, the i benefits and advantages, and disadvantages esti mated, die expenses sumed up. and their Report j was in favor of removal. If the gentleman from Floyd desired a reconsideration for the purpose of adding the amendments proposed, it could be an well done in the Senate. The motion to reconsid i er was lost, ayes 33, navs7B, ATLANTIC AND GULP RAILROAD.

Amended by fixing the first Monday in February ns tho time for electing Directors. Section fourth prescribes the route of road, and applies tbe eighth section of the amended charter ot Ventral railroad to thi» road deciding the quet tion growing out of the right-of-way and damage. Amended by settling more definitely the point from which the road is to start. Section fifth prescribes the conditions upon which the State subscribe, and pay instalments on the stock. Amended by the provision that no in stalments shall be paid until the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Railroad Company, and the Brunswick Company shall give up their right to interfere with the location of said road on account of privileges granted on the charter of either of them. Section sixth allows the Savannah, Albany and Gulf and the Brunswick railroads to connect with this road. Col.
