MiLi.EnoEvn.LE, Feb. 22, 1850
SENATE.
Mr. Fambro, of Upson, moved a reconsideration
f ... much of the action of yesterday as relates to
the hill lost, for the relief of widows whose hus
bands die intestate. Mr. Fambro, in support of
b s motion, expatiated upon the excellent charac
ter of the bill, and the great necessity of some
k-md of a remedy for widows in this situation. The
. .ri iti to reconsider was carried.
The Senate also reconsidered the action relatin''
■, the bill changing the county line between < 'aim
i n and Glynn. The bill was taken up for imme
diate consideration, put to the Senate and lost.
W. had hoped to he able to chronicle this niorn
the- almost unexampled non-occurrence, in the
annals of this General Assembly, of any reconsid
eration, but our hope was too monstrous to be re
alized. W henever such an anomalous non-trans
action shall take place., it shall he duly noticed,
and your readers informed of the same/
The report of the Committee on the State road
sras read this morning. It is a fair statement of
ail facts, an impartial examination of evidence, and
. complete refutation of the charges brought
wainst the agents of the road- -satisfactorily prov
ing the falsity of the alleged mismanagement; and
d summing up the testimony, and the argu
ru v.' , • and con. gives a judgment unqualified in
its i emendation upon the superintendence and
management of this road. It. is exceedingly
lenghthy, and five hundred copies are ordered to
be printed.
Mr. Mcrihiv, of DeKalb, stated that Dr. Hill, of
I Troup, Chairman of the Committee on the part of
the House, had agreed to the report, in everything
relating to the management of the road, blit had
not agreed t.i that part of the report relative to the
charges against the officers of said road, of making
political discrimination, and showing favoritism,
| 4,;. That, in consequence of the absence of Dr'.
Hill, the report had been delayed, and he had not
been able to confer with him, since the completion
of the report, relative to those charges, and was
not able to say what course he would pursue on
- port of the report. He deemed it dt*- to Dr
Hill to make this statement.
A resolution was offered by Dr. Swinnei, but not '■
adopted, to adjourn until 10 o’clock to-morrow
turning, as a mark of respect to this day—the an
nirersarv of the day when George Washington,
the father of his country, was born. One gentle
man said ihat he intended to wear mourning for
th- desecration of this memorable day. If there
Li anything that tends to the perpetuation of the
principle* of our Republic, arid the undying vitali
ty nf the spirit that animated our ancestors in the
Revolution, to the unceasing recollection of their
straggles for their rights and ours, and a conse
quent gratitude on the part of the present genera
tion, by preserving those t ights by wise and pro
dim legislation, and acting as become the citizens
of freedom, it i.-. the strict observance of the cele
bration of those days and those events, which
brmg vividly to the mind the infancy of our coun
try Aud the spirit that would lead us to ignore
th' i yearly commemorations of epochs in our
return's history, is desecration indeed. It must
be taken into consideration, however, that the
Legislature is governed by motives of duty; thev
feel it their dun to transact business with all pos
sible dispatch, and adjourn. Already have thev
occupied too much time, aud consumed too much
if the public money by their protracted legislation,
and they feet it ah imperative duty to draw the
session to a close as soon as possible, hence their
slight notice of this dav.

The following protest was entered against the

The undersigned leeling that it is the duty of the
present Legislature, to rebuke the unwarrantable
assumption of power by those to whom was com

the enlargement of the buildings of the Lunatic
Asylum yet not being willing to visit upon those

A bill to provide for the calling of a Conven
tion of the people of this State to prescribe the
Lumber of delegates and the mode and manner of
their election and their duties, and to fix the time
isnd place of meeting of said Convention, Ac. The
object of the Convention is to revise and amend
th— present Constitution of the State, or to make
•i new Constitution for the government of people in
the State. The Constitution thus drawn up is to be
Mibmit-ted to the people, who shall vote “ ratifica
tion, or no ratification.”
A short discussion occurred, upon Mr. Dcnna
>n. ' ‘ Hall, calling m question the constitution
ality of the bill. He said t was expressly and
clearly laid down in the Constitution that all
amendments must be read three times in both
Houses, and passedby the two General Assemblies,
tad in no other way can the existing Constitution
he amended.
This bill was against the very letter and spirit ;
f the Constitution, hence it -could not be passed. ‘
Mr. Murphy, of DeKulb, supported Mr. Dexnagax 1
and Mr. Cone —the introducer of the bill opposed
him, and contended strenuously for the measure. 1
The people were the sovereigns, from them origi
nated the Constitution, and they could when exi
gencies require form a new one. No code of laws
could be formed which were unconditionally and
rrevoeably biuding on subsequent generations,
they pois’essed the power of repealing laws they
did not like, and he argued that the people could
send delegates to a general Convention for the
purpose of remodelling, revising, or reconstructing
' .e present Constitution.
The previous question" was called, sustaiued,
md the bill put to the House and lost. Ayes 22,

fins is a most important bill, and the ends it

question for the assembled wisdom of the

warrants the conjecture that an attempt will be

A Mississippi Old Line Whig.— The following
letter from Judge Boyd, a prominent Whig of Mis
sissippi, was brought out tv his appointment to
serve as a delegate to the American Convention.,
What he savs about the necessity of union of feel
ing in the ."south, is very appropriate:
Natchez, January 28th, 1856.
Gentle nun: Among the proceedings of the :
' American .State Convention,’ as published in your j
paper of the 2id instant, which I have just re- !
eeived, my name is placed on the list of delegates,
Ibr the State at large, to the ‘American State Con- |
vention.’
“ Had I been consulted on tbe subject, this lot
ter would have been unnecessary. Never having |
been u member of the ‘American party,’ it is im- !
possible for me to be its representative.
•‘The occasion will, perhaps, warrant mein add- j
• ing a word more, it seems to me, that everything !
there may he of a commendable character in the ■
peculiar and distinctive objects of the ‘ American j
party,’ can be best secured without a seperate po
litical association for that special purpose. While,
in my solemn judgment, there is much in the pro
sent, and more in tbe probable future of the Re
public, to render such an organization unwise, in
expedient and dangerous to the South. Never be
fore in our history w.ts there loss real necessity foi
Southern men to differ, or greater inducement for \
them to mute. The grave questions which once j
divided us have been satisfactorily settled, or ren- ;
h-red of but little consequence by tbe self adjust- ;
! ing course of extent, or the mere lapse of time. It .
! cannot be the part of wisdom to create new--di
visions, or raise new issues of a temporary and ir
ritating character, when every hour renders it
more apparent that our only safety lies in the
cordial union and ao-operation of all true-hearted
men of the South.
“Mississippi has long since taken her position :
and published her platform to the world; and the
lime will come when every Mississippi*!! should
rally to that position, and stand upon that plat
form and that alone. I desire to see her maintain
> them both, in letter and spirit; to take back no !
word : to make good every -viable she has lit- ’
j tered. To this end, she will require all the exer- i
tions ot all her children ; anu happy will it be j
for us, if even tha* shall ensure success. She
needs all her resources. She has no strength to
throw away.
“ The popular impulses are right, and the popu
lar heart beats high fur action. Let the bewilder
ing din of party cease, the voices of faction be
hushed in silence before the awful majesty of the
State, rising full armed, in panoptly complete, to
■ assert the rights and vindicate the honor of a sov
ereign.
“ It is worse than folly, it is madness, to encour
age dissensions iti our own ranks, while we stand
face to face, in hostile array with a powerful, un
( scrupulous and unrelenting foe.

Wag Department, 1
Washington, Feb. 15, 1559. i
Sir: The President has, by proclamation, warn
ed all persons combined for insurrection or inva
sive aggression against the organized Government
of the Territory ot Kansas, or associated to resist
the due execution of the lawless proceedings, and
has commanded them to disperse and retire peace
ably to their respective abodes, on pain of being
resisted by his whole constitutional power. If,
therefore, the Governor of the Territory, finding
the powers vested in United States marshals in
adequate for the suppression of insurrectionary
combinations or armed resistance to the execution
of the law, should make requisition upon you to
furnish a military force to aid him in the perform
ance of that official duty, you are hereby directed
to employ for that purpose such part of your com
mand as may in your judgment consistently be de
tached from their ordinary duty.
In executing this delicate function of the milita
ry power of the United States, you will exercise
much caution to avoid, if possible, collision even
with insurgent citizens, and will* endeavor to sup
press resistance to the laws nnd constituted au
thorities by that moral force which happily, in our
country, is ordinarily -efficient to secure respect to
to the law s of the land and the regular constituted
authorities of the Government. You will use a
sound discretion as to the moment at which the
further employment of the military force may he
discontinued, and avail yourself of the tirst oppor
tunity to return with your command to the more
grateful and prouder service of the soldier, that of
common defence.
For your guidance in the premises, you are re
ferred to the acts of 2Sth February, 1795, and 3d
March, 18<‘7, "sec Military Laws, pages 301 and 122,;
and to the proclamation of the President, a copy
of which is herewith transmitted. Should you
need further or more specific instructions,' or
should, in the progress of events, doubts, arise in
vour mind a- to the course which it may be pro
per for you to pursue, you will communicate di
ivctly with this Department, stating the point?
upon which you wish to be informed.
Verv respectfully, your obedient.
Jefferson Davis,
Secretary of War.
There is something beautiful in the following
lines :
Take the bright shell
From its home on the lea,
And wherever it goes
It will sing of the sea.
So, take the fond heart
From its home and its hearth,
‘Twill sing of the loved
To the ends of the earth
Toys ami Trifles.
jP : On this theme, a long while ago, says the Bos
j ton Courier, we took occasion to remark that the
; United States imported more unnecessary articles
i and exported more of the necessary articles of life
e than any other nation. The following extract
d from the Albany Evening Journal will, no doubt,
strike others as it does ourselves, of the truth of
* : our remark. At the same time it speaks volumes
' j in favor of the argument of regulating in some
|. ; measure a currency which contributes forcibly to
e I open w ide the door of so remunerative a market
s j for the introduction of articles that wo ourselves
might so easily produce; or if it must be that our
u people will continue to avail themselves of foreign
industry, in preference to their own at home, let it
- j he done on more equal terms than our own cur
• reucy now permits it to be:
, The Nation’s Extravagance.— For the year
1 i ending August 21st, we Americans imported from
Europe, for our own heads and those of our wives
r and (laughters, $1,982,560 worth of silk, straw and
leghorn, and of hats and caps. Yet how few of
tbe head pieces one sees give evidence of having
been sent for three thousand miles away. All are
, seemingly home made. In that same year, young
i and old America treated themselves to $3,782,850
? worth of watches, chronometers and clocks of Ku
. ropean make. Their appetite, too, for foreign jew- !
, elry was bated with $974,120 worth of articles ;
upon which, without sighing, they paid a duty of j
i thirty per cent. Os leather to cover their hands j
1 and their feet, they sent across the ocean and ;
i brought to the tune of $3,069,860— -enough to hide- |
bind the nation and sicken it in various ways,
i Having killed off nil our woolen manufactures, |
we let the foreigners take from us in the same year .
, *24,925,379 for fabrics of wool than we had to I
have, or thought we wanted; for linen goods SB,- I
617,165; for cotton goods only $15,742,293 ; for
embroideries $3,892,749, and for iron and steel and
their manufactures $22,980,728. Considering
that America is the richest country on the face of
the globe in the ores of metals and the means and
skill to reduce them, the last item must have been j
a hard one in a double sense, and perhaps induced
the importation by our people of solvents and aids
i to digestion in the shape of $4,615,735 worth of :
wines and liquors. Old and young America !
bought abroad" last year, aud on' tick, of things j
| they could mostly have made at home, to the ex- ;
tent of $111,281,245! Any other concern in the
world would “bust up” under such reckless house- ;
keeping and management.

I triet, South Carolina, recently killed forty-seven

hoochee course, commence on Tuesday, the 11th

The Steamship Pacific. —After noticing the re
port that the Pacific had put into the Shannon, in j
consequence of the severity of the weather, the j
Philadelphia Bulletin thinks that no serious unea- |
Guess need be felt at present as to the fate of the ;
Pacific, now out twenty-eight days; for the Allan- j
tic, after being out nine days, broke her shaft;
for three day 3 she attempted to reach Halifax, 1
and then turned back and reached Cork in thirty
tone days after her leaving Liverpool. The news j
: of her safety reached New York February 16th,
making fifty-on? days from the time of Ler origin- ,
J departure.

The Kansas Contested Election.
The first act in the Kansas drama in the House j
of Representatives was played out on the 20th inst. ;
i After two days’ labor, the resolution from the Com- >
j inittee of Elections, asking for power to send for j
! persons and papers to be used in the contested '
: election from Kansas, was recommitted, with iu- ;
struotions to report the reasons for such a proce- j
dure.
Gov. Reeder had given Gen. Whitfield notice of j
| bis intention to contest his seat severa months '
j ago, but down to this time he lias taken no prool !
un which to sustain his claim to the sea’. After
! this long delay, he now desires that Commission
| ers ho appointed to go to Kansas to take the proof 1
which, under the law, he could and should hart
taken months ago.
This was so transparent a dodge, and disclosed i
so clearly that the real object is nottohavea speedv i
settlement of tbe contest, but to procrastinate it '
for purposes as continued agitation, that it is :
strange that even Black Republicans undertake to
i sustain so absurd a proceeding.
The discussion, however, has not been without
i its benefits. It lias made palpable two important
1 points: first, that Gov. Reeder’s pretensions to a
; --eat are so absurd that his own friends are not pre
; pared to meet the issue • and, second, it has shown
that it is the policy and the purpose of Abolition- •
| ism to keep alive the Kansas excitement lor politi
cal ends connected with the approaching presiden
tial election.
11 matters nothing to the Black Republicans that !
they are involving the country in au expense ot
; hundreds of thousands of dollars, and depriving
Kansas of a representative in Congress; with them
these are small matters, compared with the impor
tance of keeping up the agitation. The country
will appreciate the earnest and persevering exer
tions of the national men of the Ilouse in opposi
tion to this Abolition movement. They have been
successful thus far, and we hope they will continue
ito be so.— Washington Union.

I tion, yesterday, organized by the election of Eph
| kaim Marsh, of New York, Chairman. The dele
! gates from Pennsylvania, who repudiate the twelfth
j section of the National Platform, after great oppo
| sition, were admitted. This caused the wildest ex
citement among the southern delegates, numbers
jof whom withdrew. The Louisiana delegates were
! unanimously admitted. A split in the Convention
! to-day seems inevitable.

CIS HIE undersigned having permanently located
0 as Teachers, respectfully solicit the patronage
of their friends and the public generally. From
1 ! several years’ experience in teaching, and a con
s staut attention to the duties of their profession,
they flatter themselees that the system of instruc
' tion which they are now prepared to give Students
pursuing a regular classical course, cannot be sur
r passed by any similar Institution in the State. To
parents, therefore, designing to give their sons a
Collegiate education, their services are especially
' tendered, since a thorough acquaintance with the
1 preparatory studies is indispensable to tile Stu
dent’s progress throughout his whole course. Their
. Academy Pupils will be prepared to enter the high
er classes of College, or if preferred, thoroughly
instructed in a more practical and business course.
! The accessibility, health and quietness of their j
; location—its freedom from scenes and causes of
dissipation—induce them to hope for a continuance
of that liberal patronage, which for many years
: they have not failed to secure.
A strict regard will be paid to moral training,
and the general deportment of each pupil carefully
observed.
The Academies for the Male and Female pupils
are separate —also, their Boarding Houses, while
the government, discipline, course of studies, Ac.,
of both departments, will be under the control and |
supervision of the Principal.
Although not required, it is preferred that pupil*
be boarded with the Teachers.
