ATLANTIC ANII OCLF RAILROAD.

Mr. Dins ag an, of Ilall, offered an amendment
, this section, requiring stock to be paid for * a I
specie, «.rbills of good sound Banks in this State, j
Me. SpAfLDtNO protested against the amendment, j
essorting tl«at ibere was no use for it.
Mr w ales arose and said that at first he had ,
• r i’i opposed to the bill, but now he was in favor :
! it, and represented the wishes of his constitu- j
He alluded to railroads as the medium of j
wealth, and development and prosperity to the j
mitre. He had seen our country when the red i
aen roamed in vast pathless woods, and when he j
intemplated the wonderful change, the miracu- j
, us magical transformations, he felt his heart j
:Lrob and palpitate with jov and rapture. The
,ght would make the very hills clap their hands [
silh joy. He was proud of Georgia as she is now, |
tj.jt when he thought of what she might be, he j
uecame rapturous. There was no predicting, iu> j
reteliog the brightness of her future glory. |
-err State iu the Union would be proud to claim ;
nn’eetion with her, the West, the North, and the I
h, would join in one long loud shout proclaim- |
her greatness. He esteemed his friend from i
Hall, and considered him one of the soundest j
, f Senators, hut still he could not vote for the
amendment.
Mr. Welborn thought it was right to throw !
i.irds and restrictions around enterprises of this ■
...u,l. He was opposed to the whole work, how- .
r, and contended that no project of this kind i
mid be as well superintended and executed im- i
•r supervision as under the direction ot j
:. ivat** individuals. The interest on sl,dOo,o*>o :
~-oulii be ibo.ooO, and the taxes would be increus- j
to raise tbe amount. He intended to vine
.gains: the bill for these reasons.
Mr. Ulvsaoax, of Hull, said the gentlemen !
.. *r>: entirely losing sight of the amendment, and j
uiscnssing the merits of the bill.
Mr. l.oNtf, of Glynn, stated that a large portion ,
! his constituents were opposed to this bill, and j
~ approving it, he was acting contrary to the wish- j
e , 0: iiA people. But he felt it his duty to look j
. the interest of the State, and not to the’ interest ,
f ••iie locality. And considering this State nn-a
ijreof great importance, he felt it his duty to vote ;

The original bill involved the principle ■

•••»■■ be asked, what difference does it make with

vre question of dollars and cents, there mav be
■difference; hut the principles of the two bills
« as different as right from wrong, or justice

■ A' l Baldwin, offered a substitute, ap
■ iiiu’j'j; B •••■ r ’'* r > for repairing the Capitol. He
• « ”->p tech in favor of his measure. In
I S '-“J'ttol had been permanently located at
■*,M,n'l l ■, atatime when the country North of
■ *34- p ""'i forest, where the Indian roamed;
fl , v j:! * < ’ular locality had been selected with
fl t- ‘ ’l°£ having the seat of Government in
J ■ the State. The citixens of Milledge
villehad always been induced to believe that the
Capitol would remain here, and had endeavored to
do ever', thing asked of them for the convenience
of the legislators. They had been requested to
build, first, a railroad, tiiey had done so; then a
j hotel, that had been done; and it was not right to
keep them in a state of suspense about the value
of their property. The question had been sub
mitted once t-> the people, and three-fourths of
them had voted for non-removal, and it was the
duty of three-fourths of the Senators to respond ;
: to the wishes of their constituents.
Mr. Pope said that if thev did appropriate mon
ey for the repairing of this’ building, he was in fa
vor of appropriating a sufficiently liberal sum to
effect their object, and he moved to strike out
*7,s*»>, and insert Slfi.OoO. For uianv rears the
1 question of removal had been agitated, and he con
sidered this an excellent opportunity to silence all
j agitation of removal. Time and again had the j
people of Milledgeville been excited, and laboring
under apprehension of a serious depreciation in
the value of their property, by the removal of tbe
! * apitol. It had been left to the people for th* !r
ultimate decision, and thev had decided most d - !
cisively on no removal. It was contended the vote ;
had not been general. Reverse their decision, and
then ask ihe gentlemen who press this point l
whether they would then have acknowledged it !
was not a general vote. The people had express*. J
their willingness to appropriate money to repair ■
: this building, and it was their duty to do so. The :
j building was in a shamefully decaying and dila] i
dated condition, and Georgia should be ashamed
to let it remain so when she possessed the means
iof repairing. But what is to be gained by iv.
i moving the Capitol ? Increased taxation! A mine!
j central point could not be found, it was perfectly !
, accessible, and there was not a single argument f. .r
: removal. Tbe House bill was a ridiculous fare • ; :
; the idea of appropriating only SI,OOO for repai:- 1
ing, and keeping the building in a state of preser- j
; vat ion until the question of removal could be tv- ,
, ferred to, and decided by the people. He al-o 1
v i.-hed to add an additional section for an uppio- !
priation to the Executive Mansion. It was six :
years since any money had been given to the Man- i
■ si*in. and it needed even more than the appropri.*.- j
■ tion proposed. It was their duty to take care *f ;
the public property, and not let it go to ruin for 1
want of care, in tin* expectation that some day 1 1.*■ j
Capitol would be removed.
Mr. Cu not .v, of Fulton, did call in question the j
; power of the Legislature to move the Capitol. He I
did not consider tht-last vote as indicative of tbe :
wishes of the people. They had understood that j
with a very small expenditure the present Capilol ;
! might be so repaired as to last for years, while re- j
j moval would he attended with heavy expense, j
Since then, the facts had leaked out that, to repair I
! the Capitol in a suitable manner, nothing less than j
! *150,000 would be commensurate with the dilapi- i
datum. Refer the matter back to the people with !
| these new additional facts, and they would most j
: likely reverse their last decision. He said that !
there was a growing dissatisfaction with Milled*, - !
I irille in the minds of the people, and he did not li -
j lieve S2OO,bJO would he able to keep the seat of
government here. Whatever was their decision,
: however, he would pledge himself to abide by it.
Mr. Brown—Sir, the gentleman’s predecessor
| was the first one to propose leaving the question to
■ the people, and he also declared his intention of iv
i cognizing their decision, and now the gentleman is i
! the tirsi one to rise up and propose the people’s ad
| indicating the question a second time. I would
also stale that a competent person has decided, af
ter necessary examination, that the building can
I be well repaired with $7,500, and I hope the’ gen
j Human from Wilkes will withdraw that part of his
j amendment inserting $16,000 iti the place of j
| $7,500.
Mr. I’ope consented to withdraw.
Mr. Mi rphv, of DeKalb, supported the subs;:- j
I lute, because it would be a saving to the State to |
| appropriate that amount, and the people having do- ?
; cided the question, they should be bound bv ii, i
: and again it was injuring the people of Milled*;: -
ville to continually agitato this question.
Mr. Hardeman,’of Bibb, stated that two years
ago he had voted for removal to Macon, and stiff
: desired the same thing, but he considered it in
j cumbent upon himself to be governed by the peo
j pie upon this matter, and they had decided, lie
considered it also an imperative duty to protect
j public property. Besides, removal could onlv be
accomplished In large heavy expense, which Geor
| gia was not in a situation to bear at present; she
! having just appropriated a million of dollars to a
j railroad.
Mr. Wisofiki.d informed the Senate that the ex
-1 pense of repairing the Executive mansion had been
j estimated by the Committee appointed for that !
: purpose, at $15,000 ; and he thought tiiat the ap- i
j propriation there should be increased.
The amendment of Mr. Pope was finally adopt- j
j ed, and the substitute of Mr. Brown, and the bill j

The Sen' lira, of Columbia , gives the following
’ statement of the late disturbances in that town:
We notice in tlie hist number of the Lexington
: Telegraph the following announcement:
•‘Great ErciUrntnt in Odumhia!—The Military
j ordered out /—We learn that great excitement ex
| ists to-day in consequence of the arrest of a j
College student by one of tlie City Marshals. The
students commenced this morning, and severely .
beat Mr. Burdell, of the police, who is lying dan- j
j gerously ill of his wounds.
” The Mayor called out the military, as qn attack
j was anticipated from the College students again
i this afternoon.
“ Our informant states that so intense wait the
excitement, business v*as almost suspended.”
We have often observed that men, under the in
fluence of fear, were sure to have the organ of tuar
| vellousness wonderfully developed ; and this was,
doubtless, the case with the Telegraph’s informant.
We also think that a failure to notice the transac
tion and record what really took place, is also in
jurious to all concerned, because the facts are sure i
to he exaggerated the further the news gets from ;
the point where the occurrences happened. To j
the best of our information, then, we will state !
j what happened in Columbia, on the occasion a!- j
| luded to, premising, however, that all the stores j
j were open, and whoever wanted to buy had no 1
j difficulty in obtaining what they wanted. On j
Mot day night last, three students of tbe South ’
j Carolina College came in front of the guard house, j
One of them called out the name of Mr. Burdell, j
one of the police officers. Mr. B. came out, where- !
upon the student struck the Marshal a severe blow, ;
for what cause we know not, doubtless, there was
a cause. Mr. Burdell was not slow in returning it,
j and so the tight commenced. He also carried tin*
| assailant, after the fight, into the Guard House,
I and being badly hurt, a Doctor was scut for to see
| him.
In the meantime, the other two students had car I
; ried the news to the College of what had happened, j
j when a pretty general onslaught upon the Guard j
: House, by all the students, was made, and their ‘
| comrade conveyed therefrom. This was done at j
* the expense of smashing in the window lights and
: breaking small things up generally. Thus ended
Monday night. On Tuesday morning, the students,
not feeling satisfied that they were even with Mr.
Burdell, two or three of them made another at
tack upon him. In this tight Mr. Burdell was
roughly handled, and so were two or three of the
students. The students now assembled in mass,
many of them armed. The Mayor ordered out the
military companies to preserve order, and after
some two hours, the students, at the solicitation of
I)r. Thornwell, Col. Win. Preston, and some
other of out citizens, retired to the College, since
which time quiet has prevailed.
We learn that on Thursday, by order of the Gov
ernor, the arms of tlie .State, which were in pos
; session of the College Cadets, were taken from
j the College grounds. As we remarked above, mi
! occurrence of this kind should, iu our judgment,
I he noticed, and a true history of the transaction
j given, for the express purpose of preventing exag
gerating and hurtful rumors, sure to arise by the
. press preserving a profound silence.
From the Washington I'nion.
Now and Then.
Tbe election last fall in Pennsylvania, of Hon.
Arnold Plumer, tbe Democratic candidate for canal
commissioner, over the combined forces of Aboli
tionism and Know Xotliingism, has been cited,
and cited justly, ns a most satisfactory evidence of
a great re-action in public sentiment " in that State
—as the triumph of truth over error, of sound
principles over the wild clamor of fanaticism. A
still further and even more gratifying evidence of
that re-actionarv spirit which has brought forth
such substantial fruits in the Keystone State, is
furnished in the subjoined telegraphic despatch,
j which appeared in the Baltimore Sun of yesterday's
j issue:
Wilkksb.vlk, ft Pa.,) Feb. lit. The friends and
I neighbors of Hon. Ilenry M. Fuller, M. ('..from
i this district, gave him a public dinner yesterday,
i which was participated in by Whigs, Know Nothing
and Democrats. Mr. Fuller being called out, made i
a speech of some length, vindicating the course of j
himself and friends during the struggle for the *
speakership, aud arguing that his position on the j
slavery question was sound, national, and conserva
tive. He deprecated the agitation of the question,
in and out of Congress, as calculated to inflame i
the public and sectional divisions. He desired '
that the men of the North and the men of the !
•South should live and act as brethren. He also j
showed that the Hon. Chester Butler, former Whig !
! representative from this district, advocated in Con- j
gross the doctrine that States should be admitted j
recognising or excluding slavery, as the people |
might determine. He thought the people of the j
Territories should he left to act, unmolested, for j
themselves, and that attempts to coerce their m - I
tion were improper und to he discountenanced.
; His remarks were received with manifestations of
j much pleasure, eliciting groat applause. He ro
j turns to Washingion with au assurance of good
will and support of all who have met him on this
j visit.
We will not stop 1o inquire whether Mr. Fuller
j is the primary cause or the mere reflection of that
' change in the sentiments of so many thousands of
j his constituents in regard to the popular sovereign
ty and the slavery questions which has thus been
: brought to our notice. It is enough for us to note
i the gratifying fact, without seeking to discover *
j the extent or credit of the instrumentality. To
1 show how complete and radical is the change in !
I Mr. Fuller's sentiments, we give below a letter
! written by Mr. F. on the ISth of August, 184 ft, at i
I the time In: was soliciting the suffrages of the
I people of Pennsylvania, as the Whig candidate for !
! (’anal Commissioner. The letter is addressed to
j Mr. B. F. Saxon :
j —“ You state in your letter that the Freesoilers
will hold a (.''invention at Hyde Park on the 30th
instant. There is a pretty strong probability- of
j my being in the field for Canal Commissioner, and !
! it would’ certainly aid my prospects very material- j
ly to receive a nomination from your party. I am j
m favor of freesoil, free speech, free labor, amt ;
i free men, being a NVilmot-proviso man up to the I
| hub, and utterly opposed to the extension of slave- j
i r-v
--“ The matter erdl require prudent management,
; mul lknow of no man who can accomplish it better
' than yourself. It would be bad policy to attempt it ,
; without a certainty of success. If done, it would
be as yvell done by ihe adoption of a resolution, I
Ac., yvhich you will understand hott to prepare, j
Consult with our mutual friends, Blackley and !
Johnson, and write me soon. Yours, truly,
Henrt M. Filler.”

Augusta Market, Feb. 26, I I*. M.
COTTON. —At the close of our last weekly re
port, prices were looming up high, and holders
were as firm as granite. Buyers yy ere equally ani
mated, and every lot offered was swept off as soon
|as placed upon the market. This warm sunshine
: of operations enlivened the trade until about Fri
day, when the buyers were seized with a strange
apprehension of some adverse neyvs by the steam
er, and prices were rendered, on the part of hold
ers, at somewhat satisfactory classifications to buy
! ers, and business continued. On Saturday, the mar
i ket was very sluggish—some parties said dull, and
: others easy —but no matter how it yy*as described,
i there was very little Cotton sold, unless at sonte
thing like a off front Tuesday and YV edufesdav s
; rates, and there was nothing like a brisk trade at
the reduced prices. All parties excused themselves
front trading, because they were waiting for the
j steamer’s neyvs, and while they yvere so anxious,
i the Havre packet, the Etna, yyith later neyvs front
Havre, was telegraphed but her news had no ef
j feet on the market. On Monday morning the Liv
j erpool accounts, up to the 9th, were received, and
there seemed like a chill had seized all parties, It
was unsatisfactory news, and as a consequence,
there was comparatively nothing done all day
Monday.
The market to-day (Tuesday) is quite irregular
and inactive, and we will not venture on quota
tions, because of the uncertainty attending it. We
| can safely* say, however, that there is a decline in
1 quotations, compared with this time last yveek, of
i from to %of a cent.
The receipts, at all the ports, compared yvitli the
; same time last year are, at •
1855. 1854.

The crop of 1853, compared with the present, as
to receipts up to the latest dates, shows that of
1853 greater than the present, although there has
been a considerable improvement in the receipts
latterly.
TRADE GENERALLY.—WhiIe in some depart
ments of business, there appears to be activity, yet
in others there is dullness and want of confidence, ,
The grain trade seems to be most affected, aud all '
parties appear to think of nothing hut low aud still
lower prices.
SUGAR.--In browns the market is moderately
supplied. Porto Rico selling from 9t09% ; New ;
Orleans 9 to 10, but for an extru line article 103a to i
11 cents. Choice browns are scarce. The stock of |
barrel Sugars is very light, A yvorth l i 3 i, B 11 Q j
to 113s* and none of Stuart’s C in market. Crush- :
ed and Loaf Sugars from lljQ to l‘2)-5 cents.
MOLASSES.—Limited supplies of Cuba, which
arc selling from 45 to 46 by the hogshead, and N.
Orleans from 49 to 5o cents gallon.
COFFEE.—There is a good supply, and the de- :
mand active. We quote Rio, prinsipal sales from j
12; ~to 13 cents; but an extra article, of which 1
there is but little offering, 13j£ cents is demanded.
Old Government Java 163£; Maracaibo 14W ; La- ■
gttayra 13 Wj to 14 cents.
IRISH POTATOES. -Good planting are worth i
from $3.50 to $3.75.
WHISKY—In small lots 50 to 55 cents is asked,
hut for common Rectified, in large lots, from 41 to j
43 cents.
SALT. There is no demand, except to fill lam- j
ily orders. It retails at from $1.45 to 1.r,0 * t t sack. ;
CHEESE -Worth from 13 to 14 cents.
RICE— Selling from 51 j to 6 cents.
IRON AND NAILS -The iron trade is very
firm. No change in Nails or Tin.
CORN.—The market is very unsettled, and it is
difficult to find purchasers at over 55 cents, und
there are hut few who will buy at even that price.
There scents to be no confidence in the article, and
prices may* recede still lower if holders press upon l
the market, and n may go lower even it' they do
not. The demand u limited to the immediate
wants of consumers. We noticed one salt* yester
day of about 4uu bushels a! 03 cents, on time, and
yve heard of one engagement to arrive at 50 cents. :
Our readers must draw* their own'eonclusions. We
do not venture on quotations.
MEAL. Country is selling front 65 to 7“, an i j
from City Mills 70 to 75 cents ft bushel.
FLOUR. Our City Mills ask $->.50 to $9.00 for
Superfine, and $lO to $10.50 for Extra Family.
Country Flour, of which there is a fair supply on ■
the market, aud from several fine Mills. sß.oo to
$9.00. We have heard of sales at $8.25. The ten
dency is to a still further decline, but that will de
pend in a great measure upon the quantity of i
Wheat yet to come forward, although the reduced !
price of Corn Meal will measurably lessen the cun- j
sumption of Flour.
OATS.—The market is very well supplied yvitli ;
Oats, and the stock is rapidly* increasing. The price !
has materially declined within the past yveek, and
tve think it doubtful if a lot would bring 45 cents. |
The. last sale yve heard of was at 40 cents, but that i
yvas regarded as a doubtful criterion for the mar
ket. But in the present state of the trade, priceb '
being so uncertain and irregular, we cannot state j
what amount a lot would command. No person ;
seems disposed to make an offer.
PEAS.—This commodity is held at firm figures, ,
and will readily command from 81 to 85 cents by
the quantity.
BACON.—Confidence in Bacon is not very good,
and parties are pressing sales. The stock is in
creasing. Hog round worth 11 cents, hut in large
lots 103a cents. The market is firm, however, at
those prices.
LARD- In barrels, selling from 1 03a t° 10*7,
and in cans from 10 to 1239' cents. We take occa
sion to state, that there is quite a quantity of infe
rior Lard put up in cans, and hence the yvide mar
gin in prices.
BEEVES AND SHOATS.—There have been
such numbers of fine Beeves offering, that prices
have materially receded, and now range from 4Q
to 53t> cents nett. Good Sltoats are worth from 7Q J
to cents. Sheep are scarce and in demand.
STOCKS.- We heard of the sale of about $7,000
yvorth of Central Railroad Bonds at par, yvith in
terest added. There is active enquiry for all kinds
of Stocks.
EXCHANGE. - Our Banks are checking, at sight,
on the North at % ft cent premium.
UNCURRENT MONEY.—AII the Banks genet
ally denominated “ Wild Cats,” are front *2 to 5 ft
cent, discount. Uncurrent Money, of other States,
from Ito 2)-j cent, discount.
FREIGHTS- To Savannah, by the river, 4octs.
$ bale, by the railroad 50 cents. To Charleston
$1 $ bale, by railroad.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 25. - Cotton .—The transac
tions to-day were limited to 1100 bales. Prices
yvere rather in favor of buyers, but no quotable de
cline can he said to have been established. The
sales comprise 58 bales at s". ;64at9; 62 at 9}4; ;
