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 mam section of our country. But lie be ■itLegislature, in passing any act con '* ‘ "(al benefit on a particular section, A? into consideration tin effect of such - - atton on the general welfare of the State. Apparently it might be a great hardship ' •. reus of the northeastern corner of Geor ■yrefused the privilege of building a rail “®T direction they may think proper, if it ■■'•.ruble that the proposed road will bo dis -1 ' consequences to the great railroad ,tr State, he thought the charter ought "• i.'-d This charter proposes to start a Wme point in Union county, and con- s 4u tup road which is now being built . *o' u 'trough the Rabun Gap.

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.

Lost. A bill authorizing the investment of trust funds. , \ substitute was reported by the Committee to whom the bill was referred, giving Administra- . tors.

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.

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.
