IMtLLF.tiGEVII.LF, Fob. 20, 18-56. a
SENATE. »
There was no reconsidered bills to-da-v.
the Senate took up the Hiwassee railroad bill,
nd after considerable discussion, aas passed by a 1
>te of S > aves, to *22 nays The discussion was •'
milar in character and substance to that which
k place upon the passage of the bill in the »
! use.
Hr Sseven opened the debate bv a statistical "
: elaborate speech against the bill. Hecnnsid
■ i this bill one of tbe most important that had P
•;.?ii brought before this deliberate body, as invol- tl
.2 some vast interests. This road would form t.
hynotlienuse of a triangle of railroads, and A
ild form the straigktest, most direct connection a
yeeti Charleston and East Tennessee, and hence tl
immense amount of commerce would be divert- p
i from Georgia to Carolina. The copper that e
mes from the copper mines, on the Dalton road,
hie Star.’road, thence down through Georgia, '
r.numing to over ten thousand tons, and bring- v
Us yearly revenue of $25,000 to the Western t
r i Atlantic railroad, and at least $50,000 to the 1
lira! read, would be diverted into Carolina. «
■: 1 would cut otf the whole of the capper
K .-ad Charleston would reap the benefit that
b-giu would thus suieidally give up. Hitherto
hirieston had been tributary to Georgia; now she
Ibe perfectly independent. Tiie last General
"-.iblv had acted wrong in chartering the T»a- 1 ]
Li-a; railroad, hut this was fat worse. Georgia t
’ t.*eat natural advantage*, and it was perfectly -
s', 'orlicr to make the best use of those advaii-
h v « awl there was no law or principle that hr
'o a mamied with that required a renunciation
i fei in favor of any State. It was the policy '
t s Nate to foster, and nourish, and develope its
interests. This Assembly was sent here to
v.'.ce for Georgia, not for South Carolina ; and
o "o a monstrous proposition that required
' give up their commerce to a sister State.
*•' alhocn. of Fulton, said if ever Georgia
“5 be selfish, the present time was not the
•' r manifesting it. She should know no State
but should be willing for every State to en
tr same advantages with ourselves. He be
c. that these advantages we were giving to .
■ Carolina would be reciprocal, we would be
■ ssitsated in some manner for our generosity.
■ ‘ A-ahad hitherto adopted a liberal policy, ehar
■ M railroad companies when it was asked, and
I wno reason for departing from tliat course
1 Caper Georgia needed development, and
i| is our reason for refusing her the same
•iges that other sections had enjoyed ? They
■ -1 to have commercial facilities, and the
I -l of conducting trade. They did not wish to
lj; oiu from the markets, hut wished every
• rmence for sending off their produce, and eri
i ; m c niinercial speculations. They were
I up non to such accommodations, and when
■ised fur the privilege of improving them
' Mid their condition, with their own means,
’ their own efforts, was it right to put the
-we ban upon them? He hoped the Legisla-
Li.i c, i.sider these things when they were
■2 their decision, and would decide in accord
vita right and reason.
LiXDSfa. of Oglethorpe, said that the cir
■nci-s attending the grant of a railroad ehar
• -be consequences resulting from the build
“ under such charter, ought to be very
lV and disastrous to the general railroad iu
tir State, before such grant should be re

1 wo thirds of this freight and probably more must,
when this connection is formed, pass directly to
Charleston, instead of Atlanta, Augusta, Macon
this and Savannah, 1 he disastrous consequences of
grant, both to our railroads and cities, must be ev
ident to every intelligent mind; whilst the bene
fits are reaped by the city of Charleston, anil only
one little corner of our State supplied with rail
road facilities. It is said that this charter will be
a nullity if granted, because the residents
of the counties through which it is to run arc too
poor to build it. \\ hv, >ir, the money for the
stock is now in the hands of the Charleston eapi
talists, who eagerly await the result of our action
to make a most profitable investment. The road
wili he speedily built, and so also will the gap be
filled up between Union and Cleveland.
Mr. Lawton, of Burke, said that he believed Dr.
Screven to be a true-hearted Georgian, and one
"bo would legislate for the honor and interest of
the whole State, who would leave out altogether
his local feelings and prejudices when conflicting
with the interest of the State. He looked with
kindly feelings upon all the sister States, and
wished to do evertliing to advance their prosperi
ty. South Carolina has been called ambitious.
He acknowledged it, and wished Georgia had the
same energy. It was what had placed her fore
most in the rank of States. During the last war
with Great Britain, he had advocated the princi
ple of “Free Trade and Sailor’s Rights,” and ho
still recognized the same principle.
Mr. Patterson, of Gilmer, apposed the bill in a
speech of a few moments length.
The previous question was called, when Dr.
Screven arose and hoped it would be withdrawn,
as he wished to reply to Mr. Calhoun, who had
said that it had been the policy of Georgia to
grant all charters to railroad companies. He then
referred to the journals of one of the previous as
sembles and enumerated two cases where two
very important and deserved charters had been re
fused. He protested solemnly and earnestly
against this bill, for it would be a serious injury to
the State and the different roads, and in doing
this, he felt he was doing his duty.
Mr. McMillan then arose, and made an energet
ic effort in its favor, blending to the bad policy of !
refusing a section the power of developing its
own resources. He made a most enthusiastic ap
peal in favor of the section, entreating Georgians,
to let every part of Georgia participate in her
onward greatness, and noble progress, to make no i
discritnalion in favor of particular sections.

HOUSE.
. Tilledgkvh.e, Feb. 26, P. M.
Mr. Crook moved to reconsider the bill, passed
yesterday in Senate aud House, appropriating
monies to repairs of the State Capitol and the Kx
eeutive Mansion. Mr. C. supported his motion
with his usual vehemence, and after some discus- ;
Aon the motion was lost.
[t was next moved to reconsider Judge Cone’s
bill lost yesterday, amending and altering section
Ist, Art 3d of the Constitution. Carried.
The Senate bill, passed yesterday, addinganother
section to the Penal Code, uiakiiiß cursing, swear
ing and using obscene language in streets, Ac., an
indictable offence, was next called up for recon- ;
sideration, and the motion prevailed. Mr. Harris, '
of Fulton, made a very strong speech in favor of
reconsideration and against the bill, which lie de
nounced as a Connecticut Blue Law. His main
points were that the jurisdiction over such offences
should remain where it is, in the hands of
Mayors, Intendants, and other town or city au
thorities; that the bill defeated its own ends, inas
much as by the mere giving of a bond, the offend
ers could go free, whereas by the present laws they
could be summarily punished, Ac. Mr. H. was
very hitter in his remarks, and though 1 approved
his ideas, I did not sanction the words in which
they were clothed.
Mr. Wood, of Fannin, moved a reconsideration
of the Senate bill, lost yesterday, giving to the an- :
tiiorities of Spring Place the control anil regulation
of the liquor traffic, and supported the move with ;
some very forcible and practical arguments. The
motion, however, was lost.
SENATE HILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE.
A bill to form a new county from Union and Ra- •
bun. Passed.
A bill to fix the times for holding Courts in the
Brunswick Circuit. Passed.
A bill to incorporate the N. E. railroad Lost.
Aves 32 ; nays 65.
1 tie bill was killed, 1 think, by an amendment
engrafted on ii by Mr. 1 erhcve, of Floyd, ( doubt
less with good intentions , providing for State aid
to the amount of *200,p00.
HOUSE BILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE.
V bill to appropriate *o,iioo annually to the
Southern < entrul Agricultural Society, Ac.' Passed.
Mr. Lewis, of Greene, moved to amend, bv
making the sum .s.i.ihio, which was agreed to, but
the amendment seemed likely to endanger the bill,
i and it was therefore recommitted and the original
sum rest-red. Mr. Harris, of■ Iloughertv, put in a
■ proviso, “provided said society shall distrib
ute its premiums without favoritism. Messrs.
Lewis, of Greene, and Mr. Harris, of FTilton,
t made able speeches and eloquent, in behalf
-of the bill. And thougli no speeches were
1 made against it, considerable hostility was man
t ifestod by other gentlemen on the floor. The vote
i stood 59 to 41.
A bill to compel the production of tesumony in
t Law and Equity, as by the districting Law. Lost,
i A bill to repeal the law common the .State, and
i to provide for a “general” Congressional Ticket.
Lost hv a decisive majority.
1 Mr. ’ Thornton, of Muscogee, made an able and
I stirring speech in favor of the bill. His chief
points were that the district -.vstem sent muill men
- to Washington, that caucuses were held under it,
i which forced undesirable men before the public;
e that Legislators legislated for districts and for
- t engross, instead of the State; that when the
1- Georgia delegation was equally divided in Con-
II gross, four and four from each party, Geor
-- gia was a cipher in Congress, aud her vote
I? counted fi r nothing; and even when the delega
s tion was not thus closelv divided, the whole force
d was weakened by all not pulling together. All
* these evils and others, he said, would be gotten
d rid of by passing this bill The speech was a first
rate one, but the House was predisposed agains
this bill, and voted it down bv a large majority
Mr. Lewis, of Greene, I should mention, said h
was in favorof the bill, but.hedid not believe it con
stitutional, as Congress in 1841, had passed a law re
quiring the State to be districted, the law was heh
not to be iu violation of the Constitution—was there
fore the Supreme law of the land, and had more
. over been recognized by Georgia. The Speakei
ruled the bill constitutional, and it accordingly
went upon its passage. Mr. Thornton introduce!
a similar bill at the lust session, which was lost.
A bill to compensate Peter Mason for work dom
on the State road. Lost.
1 A bill changing the organization of Inferioi
Courts, providing for but one Judge at a salary o
j SSOO, Ac. Lost.
A bill to incorporate the Macon aud Westerr
Railroad Company. Passed.
A bill to add another section to the Penal Code
Lost.
The object of the bill, was. the discouragement
of duelling.
A|bill to appropriate monies to Franklin College.
Chokt;d oft ingloriously, and assassinated.
Messrs. Ward, of Butts, Harris, of Fulton, and
Thornton, of Muscogee, all made excellent speech
es in favor of the bill, 01 at least of some appro
priation.
Mr. Thornton, of Muscogee, had a substitute
which he desired to offer, but by means of the
previous question aud other parliamentary shifts,
lie was prevented, and all the friends of the hill
literally bound hand and foot. They were only
allowed the privilege of speaking their sentiments.
Dr. Phillips asked to say a few words in the matter,
but the previous question was contended for inex
orably, and he was not allowed to speak. I thought
that the friends of the bill were denied fair play.
RESOLUTIONS AND REPORTS.
The minority report of the State road Commit
tee signed by Dr. Hill, of Troup, was read to day,
and ordered to be printed. [ Will send you a copy.]
It differs almost in toto from the majority repo'rt,
takes as its strongest ground, that the Committee
did not investigate, and was listened to amid
profound silence.
Mr. Ward, of Butts, ottered a resolution which
was adopted, authorizing legal proceedings against
the legal representatives of Samuel T. Chapman,
Esq., late State printer, for the recovery of nionev,
overpaid him. Taken up and adopted.
Mr. Hudson, of Harris, offered a resolution au
thorisiug the Governor to transmit to Washington
the pay-roll of the soldiers engaged in quelling
Indian troubles in 1836. Taken up and adopted.
In this connection, learning that it will be of in
terest to many of vonr readers, I transmit a some
what similar resolution, offered yesterday by Mr.
Dawson, of Greene, and which has been adopted
and concurred in by the Senate. I referred to it
yesterday, but think it well to send it to you, ver
batim, and also to mention that Mr. I). advocated
its adoption in a forcible and sensible speech :
Resoled, by the Senate and House of Representa
tives of the State of Georgia, in General Assembly
met. That His Excellency, the Governor, be, and
he is hereby requested to forward to the Pension
Bureau at Washington City, the muster and pay
roll, and other papers on file in the Executive De
partment, in relation to the expedition under the
command of Lieut. Col. David Adams, which was
sent out under a resolution of the Legislature of
Georgia, in the year 1813, against the Creek In
dians.
Resolved, further, That the Governor be request
ed to inform this Legislature whether the State of
Georgia has been re-imbursed by the United States
for the money expended in the payment of said
troops, and if not, that our Senators be instructed,
and our Representatives requested, to introduce a
bill for refunding to the State of Georgia the
amount so expended. A
Know Nothing National Convention.
On Saturday morning, at ten o’clock, the Con
vention assembled at Snnsom Street Hall.
Reverend Mr. Campbell offered an appropriate
prayer.
The Chair stated that this was a nominating
convention, and that it had not met to discuss the
distracting questions of the day. The time for
such discussions had gone hr. fApplause.]
It was announced that Mr. Hazlehurst, of Pa.,
had retired, and that his alternate, Mr. Martin,
would take his place.
Mr. W. E. Small, of Penn., announced that he
had a paper which he would offer as a compromise j
on the slavery question
.Viter some discussion, the resolutions of Mr.
Small were read. They were as follows:
lie&Aved, That we repudiate all platforms adopt
ed by the National Councils.
Resolved, That this Convention put forth a.s a !
simple platform of the American party -The Bible t
and the Constitution and upon that "rear the fob .
lowing five points of fellowship:
1. American institutions should be controlled
only by American men.
American labor should he protected from 1
foreign competition.
8. American resources should be protected by
every legal means.
4. American compromises, made in good faith, I
should be observed in spirit at least, as a guaranty
of American integrity and loyalty.
5. American citizens abroad should be protected
in their rights of conscience, of religious worship,
and honorable burial.
Decisions were made and unmade, and appeals j
from them were taken. The Chair finally declared
that the resolutions ol Mr. Small were in order.
Mr. Call proceeded ai great length, deploring the
difference between the North and South, and at
tributing all the troubles to the aggressiveness of i
the former. He had no hope of conciliation pre
vailing, and he had made up his mind to retire from
th.e Convention. He was apprehensive of the
most serious consequences from the interference
with the rights of the South, but when the worst
came, they would stand like the Old Guard at
Waterloo, who “knew how to die, but did not
know how to surrender.”
A dozen more delegates look advantage of u
pause, to claim the floor. Gov. Call said he butt
notended. Laughter.]
Mr. Small obtained permission and said thut he
would accord with the views of Gov. Call for the
sake of harmony, and w ould, if the latter would
abide b\ it, strike out it’ll in his resolution after i
the words “Bible and Constitution.” Applause.]
Gov. Call did not seem to relish this arrange
ment, and again stated his determination to retire.
He had come to battle against the innovations of
the foreign party in the United States and the in
fluence of the Pope of Rome.
Gov. Call now said, “Farewell” Voices—“ New
York is with you!” “Pennsylvania is with you !”
; Applause ana hisses. 1
Mr. Bartlett moved that this Convention do now
adjourn to the Sd ot July next.
Cries of “No”—-“Yes” “Second the motion”—
“Vote it down.”
Great excitement followed- -Cries for “Walker,”
“call the ayes and nays”—and all sorts of confu
sion. A motion was made to lay the motion to ad
journ, on the table.
The question was taken oil the motion to lay on
the table, and the motion was voted down.
A delegate —“ All Philadelphia is voting out
there.”
There was so much confusion fhaf the Presi
dent protested that he would be compelled to
stop the proceedings if better order was not pre
served.
Mr. Snowden, of Va., declined to vote, and said
he would leave the Convention. Voices You
can go"—“Good bye.”]
Parson Brownlotv said hu would vote aye, and
did so because lie believed with the writer of u
telegraph dispatch to the Pittsburgh Convention,
that the American party was with the Black Re
: publicans.
Mr. Po@e,|from North Carolina, spoke at such
I length that the Convention became very impa
] tient.
A delegate moved that each member be limited
to five minutes “to let off his gas.”
Mr. Gilmore, of Ohio, and other Northern and
i Wes tern members, objected to allowing Southern
I delegates to speak as long as they please, and then
muzzle the speakers who were to follow.
Mr. Walker, of Alabama, made a long speech
when called upon for his vote. He saw trouble in
the distance, and apprehended that the people of
the South would, ere long, be driven in the great
law of self-preservation and defence. He declined
tn vote, as liis connection with the Convention was
now dissolved. He hade the Convention farewell,
and left.
Hon. Wm. R. Smith, of Alabama, made a very
sensible speech, ridiculing the constant threat of
disunion, and urging that in the event of an ad
journment of the Convention without a nomina
tion, the party would be disbanded forever. The
speaker made a thoroughly American speech, and
advocated the preservation of the Union and the
harmony of the party.
It was now almost 3 o’clock, and the calling: of
the ayes and nays had been going on for about
three hours; as the roll was not vet half-finished, the
delegates, except speech-makers, began to become
wearied. The reporters, being unable to leave
their posts, began to look savage and feel hungry.
The vote now stood 60 ayes to 53 nays.
Mr. Gillmnre, of Ohio," followed, and contended
that if the country would have peace, she must
have frecsnil. He charged that it was the South
and not the North, that lived upon agitation. ll<
also argued against an immediate nomination.
Mr. Chapman, of Ohio, made a strong anti
slavery speech, and gave one of his brother dele
gates a hard rap over the knuckle* for dodging thi
slavery question. This speaker spoke out plainly
, and called things by their proper names. He wa
with the South so long as tnev did not pass nortl
a the Misstu i Compromise line with the mstitu
■ tions of slavery.
Mr. Stillwell, of Pa., gave a history of his lif
. and experience. He had been elected captain of ;
militia company an honor be had the magnanimi
. tv to decline after the first term.
. This gentleman, bv way of a take-off upon som
1 of those who had preceded him. made a very Ion:
l and rambling speech, which the members bor
t with as much fortitude as they could muster
Gen. Irriu, of Pa., assured the Convention that
Pennsylvania was as free from the taint of praeti
cal Abolitionism as Virginia was. This speaker
took much pains to assure the South that Pennsyl
vania was not tinged with Abolitionism. He vin
dicated ex Governor Johnston from that charge.
It was non about 5 o'clock, and some weary in
dividuals, who had taken to their cigars to beguile
the time, were brought up with a “round turn,”
and those who were not delegates, were directed
to go outside the bounds occupied by the Conven
tion. The speech-making was then resumed.
Mr. Riddel, of Pa., had come here with a taint
hope that the South and the North would agree up
on a subject they have never yet agreed upon, nor
never will, but which they* cannot ignore.’ He
thought it best to dispense*witb a platform and
strive to elect a man upon his own merits.
Mr. Fowler, of Arkansas, made a long speech
against platforms in general, and in favor of a
good candidate, who was not a new and untried
man. He was opposed to an adjournment without
a nomination that would supply the defects of the
platform established a few days since.
Mr. Ely concluded with a severe reflection upon
northern men with southern principles. If a !
j northern man was nominated, he would like to see j
him a man independent enough to be an anti-slave
rs man. The Speaker denied the right of a Coun
cil to make a platform for any organization but the j
Council itself.
The Chairman (who, by the way, was very in
competent) was unable to restore order, and a j
scene worthy of Pandemonium was enacted.
The name of Mr. Brewster, of Mass., was called, j
I and that gentleman made a speech. He was readr
to vote for the right kind of a candidate, although \
he had been instructed to go for a postponement. ;
He denounced Black Republicanism, but declared
; that neither he nor Massachusetts would ever give !
a vote to extend slavery over territory where it j
does not already exist. He voted “ no.”
Mr. Thurston* of Mass., also made a strong anti- ;
! slavery speech. He accused the Southern dele- I
i gates with creating confusion when a northern man I
! had the floor.
A drunken delegate from Maryland said, “That’s j
j a lie!” [Confusion.]
Mr. Thurston finished his speech, amid a very j
1 general racket, which could not be quieted bv the
chairman’s gavel.
A delegate moved to take a recess until Monday ;
; morning. The motion was clamored down. ’ |
The call of the roll had now been gone through j
with. Night had arrived some time before, and j
after several hours of voting and speech-making, !
the result was announced as follows:
Ayes, or in favor of laying upon the table the i
motion to adjourn, 128, nays 73. Majority, 55.
This result was received with tremendous ap- 1
plause.
Gen. Pickett, of Tennessee, said he had a motion
to offer that would not occupy a moment. He then ;
read a resolution to go into a nomination forthwith i
for President and Vice President of the United j
States. The question on the motion to adjourn 1
was taken and carried in the affirmative, at half
past six o’clock, the Convention having been in
i session eight hours and a half, and six hours and a
half having been consumed in calling the ayes and
nays on the motion to lava motion to adjourn, up
on the table.
After the adjournment, the drunken delegate
from Maryland favored the stragglers with a speech
from the rostrum.
THL SECESSIONISTS.
The Southern seceders seemed to think better of !
it after having gone off in a tangent in the morn- :
ing, and during the afternoon they dropped iu
again, and took part in the proceedings. The
grand secession pow-wow did not come off at the j
Girard House, according to arrangement.
Proceedings in Congress.
Washington, Feb. 25.—Senate — The Chair laid j
before the Senate a communication from the Sec- 1
rotary of the Navv, in answer to a resolution trnns- |
mitting a copy of the report of the Naval Board, :
and stating that it was not accompanied with any j ,
journal, record or other papers ; add, further, the | ;
causes of action in the several cases were not made J ‘
known to the Department. i ,
Mr. Mallory, from the Committee on Naval As- 1 ’
fairs, reported a bill to amend the act passed at
the last session, to promote the efficiency of the j i
Navy.
Mr. Mason submitted a resolution requesting
the President, if not incompatible with the public ,
interests, to communicate to the Senate all the cor- i |
respondence which has taken place between this
Government and that of Great Britain, in regard
to the enlistment of soldiers in the United States,
to serve in the British army, accompanied by such
evidence anti documents us the President may f
deem proper, to show the connection of the agents
or officers of the British Government with this
violation of our laws and national rights.
Mr. James expressed his concurrence in the j
opinion of the Senator from Virginia, : t
Mr. Cass, who appeared in his seat- for the first :
time since his recent severe accident, and appa
rently perfectly recovered, not only agreed heartily j
in every word which Mr. Mason uttered, but would
go further than he had. j ‘
He would not hesitate to say that he never saw
u statement so utterly contrary to fact as that of
Ford Clarendon! He shows, from the evidence f
on the trial of the British agents for the viola
tion of our neutrality laws, that the complicity !
of the British Government could not be success
fully denied.
Mr. Mason said that the statement of Lord Cla
rendon in the British Parliament, regarding this *
matter, had recently been received in the Eng- !
lish newspapers, and unless the American side of
the question was likewise made known, the com
munity would be misled. It was, therefore, im
portant that all the correspondence should at once
be made public.
House. -On motion of Mr. Thorington, the mili- j 1
tary committee were instructed to inquire into the '
expediency of the establishment of a military j
academy and school of practice iu the valley of ; (
the Mississippi.

Contexts or a Modern Religious Pace a.— The
following were the contents of a recent number of
the Independent, Henry Ward Beecher's organ: —
New York Observer’s ideas on Artillery—Rifles

Brooklyn, (abolitionized) —Congress at Work, (left
