DULY (O\ST ITI T lo.\ \ LIST 11Y JAM ES GARDNER. SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 30. For list of Registered Voters, see fourth page. Savannah Valley Railroad. The question of subscribing for $500,000 of the j •took in the Savannah Valley Railroad Company, j was submitted to the vole of the city yesterday, and j they decided in favor of the subscription. The 1 result of the vote stood as follows: No Subscription Subscription Ist Ward 163 53 2d “ 113 64 8d “ 47 103 4th “ 49 192 377 412 Majority for Subscription thirty-five votes. Companies for Kansas. The Atlanta Intelligencer of 29th instant, says: “Judging from the number of companies, passing almost daily through our city, on their way to Kansas, we doubt not there will be a “smart sprinkling ” of Southerners in that interesting re gion before many weeks. On Wednesday night a company of eighteen or twenty passed through Atlanta, and on Thursday we noticed another company of forty-one, all armed and equipped, going on their way rejoicing. They were from Charleston and other points of South Carolina. A company organized in this city is expected to leave in a few days for the same destination.” Savannah Valley Railroad. Is the City Council authorized to subscribe? Since the result of the vote yesterday was ascer tained, a new question has been sprung by the de. felted party, arising out of the words of the statute under which the vote was taken. The twenty-sec ond section reads as follows : “ Sec. 22. And be it further enacted, That the City Council of Augusta be, and they are hereby authorized, to subscribe for, hold, and dispose of Stock, in ihe Savannah Valley Railroad Company, stock in any Railroad Company organized for the coustr u cion of a railroad from Warrentoo, or some other point on the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company's road, to Macon, or to the stock of any other Railroad Company in, or out of this State, leading to, or connecting with railroads leading to Augusia, and to provide by the issue of bonds, or otherwise, for the payment of the amount sub scribed. But no subscription, shall he made in any case without the prev'jos concurrence of a majority of the /• lit tutors of * ltd Cdy as is hereinafter desig noted : the votes to be taken in the same way and manner, and returns to be made, as in the case of an election of Mayor and members of Council of said City; the time of voting to he fixed bv the Ci*v Council, and to be advertised for at least three days in all the public Gazettes of said City; and u i s a majority of votes he in favor of anj subscription, it skill not be mile.” It is contended now by some of those who op pose the subscription, that under the terms of this act, it requir -d a majority of all who were entitled to vote on the question, to give their votes in favor of subscription, to enable Council to subscribe. They contend the words “legal voters” as here used, signify all those who are entitled under the law to vote. They contend that “ the previous con currence of a majority of the legal voters of said city,” means the previous concurrence of a major ity of those citizens who are entitled to vote, whether they vote or not. On the other hand, it is contended and most forc ibly, (hit the previous concurrence here required is the concurrence of a majority of the voters—a majority of those who vote —of those who actually come f orward and express their wishes b> voting The Statute requires that those who do so vote, shall be legal voters, and it specifies the pre-requ,- sites to a citizen’s becoming a legal voter. If there could be tenable ground for supposing that the words “legal voter-,” here used, were in tended as synonymous with the words legally enti tled to vote, and that the first italicised portion of the sentence, above quoted, would, standing by it •elf, mean that “ No subscription shall be made in any case, without the previous concurrence of a majority of all those in the city legally entitled to vote,” a different construction is forced upon us by what follows. • And unless a majority of votes be in favor of any subscription, it shall not be made.” In other words, if a majority of votes be in favor of sub scription, it may be made. There can be no other meaning to these last words of the Statute. If there was any ambiguity in the previous language, there can be none when taken in connection with the closing words of the sentence. The construction, we here contend against, is evidently an after-thought on the part of the op ponents of the subscription. For days before the election, and up to the moment of closing the polls, the opponents of subscription used the most strenuous efforts to rally every man entitled to vote, and bring him to the polls to rote so sun- SCRIPTION. Why was this done? There were one thousand and ninety names registered, that was the number of persons legally entitled to vote. If they had all voted that would have been the entire number of legal votes. Now, if it required a majority of one thousand and ninety, to-wit: five hundred and for ty-six votes to be polled in favor of Subscription*, to authorize the City Council to subscribe, where was the necessity of the opponents of subscription making this rally to obtain votes on their side? Why did they vote at all? If it were necessary that there should be five hundred and forty-six* votes, polled for subscription, to carry that measure, its opponents had only to stay away and keep all they could influence away from the polls. If they could have thus prevented a ma jority of all entitled to vote from recording then opinion in favor of subscription, their work would have been done, and their triumph complete. But they seem not so to have understood the law They acted r.s if understandingthe law to be, that all those entitled to vote were to be allowed to do so. The polls were to be opened for the purpose, and as the majority of those voting deeided--asa majority* of those who on the occasion were “legal voters ” decided—so should the City Council con sider itself instructed. The opponents of subscription acted throughout as if they understood that less than a majority of all the registered names might decide the subscrip tion. They acted, and conducted the contest in the spirit of the universal understanding, that the ques tion was to be decided by.those who voted. As the majority voted, so was the City Council to be con sidered as instructed, for, or against, subscription. As an independent proposition, we deny that there is any evidence that one thousand and ninety was. on yesterday, March 29th, the number of those legal ly entitled to vote in the citv ; or, in other words, that there were that mmy who could, by voting, be :. inters. Therefore to have insisted that five hundred and forty-six votes should be polled in favor of subscription, before the City Council could be authorized to subscribe, would have been absurd. The registry of names closed at 2, P. M., on Monday the 24th inst. Up to that time one thousand and ninety registry tickets were issued. It is clear then that no more than one thousand and ninety could legally have voted on Saturday the 2eth. But is the presumption a sound one that the whole one thousand and ninety were in exis tence on the *29th. Had none of them died? Had none of them moved away ? Had none of them become disqualified m any manner from voting? If proof in such a case could be gone into, it might perhaps be made to appear that the one thousand and ninety, had, by Providential or other causes, been cut down to one thousand and eighty-five, or one thousand and seventy, or one thousand and fifty, or am- other given number. The majority ot one of these num bers then, and not five hundred and forty-six, would be the proper figure, under the construction we combat, at which the law would fix the vote, to authorise subscription. But where is .he tribunal to go into evidence as to th ? number of deaths, removals, and disquali fications, and thus t ■ fix upon the exact number who were entitled to vote upon the question on the day the polls were opened ? Uritish Fillibusterism. Long before the United States had an existence as an independent government, Great Britain had been the giant filibuster of the civilized world. What i she was then, she still continues to be, a rapacious, unscrupulous and lawless fillibuster. The differ ence between our system and that of the western hemisphere is, that her movements in that line are authorized acts of her government, without excit ing protest or remonstrance of her people. Amer- j ican filibustering is the unauthorized action of bands of reckless adventurers who seek, with arms in their hands, to colonize semi-barbarous and sorely oppressed countries, and to carry with them the forms of a higher civilization and the principles of free and republican government. They do this against the will and in defiance of the remonstrances of our own government, and succeed only when they can elude its vigilance, and pass by stealth beyond its jurisdiction. The British (filibusters go in the lust of conquest and the spirit of oppression and robbery, carrying with them chains and slavery and the merciless extortion of tax-gatherers. The American filli bus ters go as propagandists of liberty and republican ism, carrying hope to the oppressed, and the arts of improvement and the spirit of enlightened enter prise. Blood, and groans, and desolation and death must follow in the train of the British fillibuster. The blessings of agriculture, commerce, peace and good government, mark the progress and shed their cheering influences along the pathway of the American fillibuster. They go forth to subjugate wild nature to their sway, and bring forth the kind ly fruits of the earth to reward peaceful industry, to enrich commerce, and add comforts and luxu ries to the common stock (if the world’s produc tion. In due time, smiling villages, flourishing towns, and schools and churches dot the landscape, and diffuse their blessings in the once untenanted wilderness, or among rude and misgoverned people. Such are among the fruits of the settlement of Texas, conceding for argument sake, that the Americans who settled there went on {filibustering principles and aims, and were not legitimately there by invitation and the free consent of the Mex ican Government. Let us look at the latest picture of British filli busterism and annexation presented to the view of the world. The Kingdom of Oude, virtually conquered and made subject to British rule in 1765, it has until recently retrived a nominal inde pendence, having a native ruler with the title of King. Now by a late decree of the East India Company, a branch of the British Empire, whose acts are in fact the acts of England, the Kingdom of Oude has became incorporated as a part of the British possessions, and its King is to be settled off with an annual pension. This kingdom is about 230 miles in length by 180 in breadth, and has an area of 23,738 square miles, aud is a fertile and productive country. Its population is 2,970,000. It is estimated by the English that they will be able '.o raise a revenue of $10,000,000, from this coun try to pay the expenses of governing it. They re resent it as miserably oppressed and misguided >v the native officials, and promise it, under British rule, an amelioration of condition. But let us see vnat, judging the future by the past, is yet in store for that unhappy people. A recent investigation 9y a commission at the instance of Parliament, has disclosed some fearful storiisof British humanity n the East. The following comments by a write: ‘U the New York Tribune are to the point: England appears to have been gloriously ignor sut ol the real state of her Indian Emperor. In -videuce of this, take some horrible and startling statements of the existence of torture used direct ly by British officials, in the collection of ground ent in the Presidency of Madras, in tins'part of British India there are not native middle-men li - on whom the onus of such cruelty could be thrown, is the peasant is immediately responsible to Gov rnment. A commission to decide whether torture .s used has declared that “the only conclusi n vhic’u any impartial tnind could arrive it is, tha personal violence, practiced by the native revenue and police officials generally, prevails throughout tie Presidency; and that many of these practices oust cause acute, it’ temporary or even mouicn ary, agony: and that in no few recorded iu slances ias appears by the calendars) even death had followed their infliction.” On this subject i great mass of facts are presented, and in reading hem, such as they have just officially been made mown, we do not known which most to admire tin variety aud ingenuity of the tortures, practiced not only on men but'on women, or the fact that -he existence of such a system should have been up > this moment utterly unknown to Exeter Hall ot Parliament. The evidence is indeed overwhelm ing, and the most remarkable part is that witnes ses declare that no laws can eradicate this practice, - metitied and sanctioned as it is by immemorial ime. The Commissioners seek to palliate these tbuses by showing that they are less horrible than . irtures inflicted under the native Governments. But this defense is rather ragged when we remem ber that the natives die under the British torture, • aeh as prolonged immersion in water-tanks; lor tble compression of the arms, thighs, and even the bodt*, by tying a coil of rope round them, and then applying cold water so as to cause it to con tract and sink into the flesh; burning with hot irons ; hanging heavy stones round the neck; the stocks; tying up a bunch of defaulters by the hair so that every movement is attended with pain ; starvation ; prolonged deprivation of sleep; beside various other cruelties too disgusting to describe. Reduced, too, as the East India Company now is, to the necessity of keeping up the opium trade—a system unparalleled for national effrontery and brutality, which, as we recently showed, murders about five hundred thousand persons a year and renders the propagation of Christianity a' ghastly farce in China—the Indian Empire in British hands needs, beside the abolition of torture at first and second hands, a vast extension to the newlv under taken internal improvements, the better adminis tration of justice, the abolition even of snttees, to commend itself to distinct approval. But that apart, it must not be forgotten that unceasing war in India is acknowledged by the London Times to be the inevitable price paid’ for the original British conquest and present possession. This make tilli busterism the rule of the Cast India Government. Hence, the impudence of the British public in speaking of American Fillibusterism is simplv sublime. It is difficult to portray the hypocrisy which lives on fillibusterism in the Eastj and de nounces it in the West. This hypoerisv is still more vast when we contemplate the ferocity with which radicals and conservatives together raised their discordant shrieks for the utter destruction of the lleets of their Eastern rival. Russia, in the Black and Baltic seas. England is not only the hies fillibuster among European nations, but is letermined if she can help it, Russia shall have no nand in the game. And yet there are those among us who sympathize with her opposition to Russia, whose absorption of Turkey would not only prove poliiicallv and industrially advantageous to that country, but by establishing a political counter poise, strengthen the cause of freedom in general. Mr. Virgil Bocllemet, the President of the Howard Association in New Orleans, died in that city on the 23d inst. The New Orleans Picayune, of 24th inst., says : “ Like Howard, Mr. Boulle met had been engaged for about nineteen years in his labors of love and ntercy, and like Howard he died in a foreign land, and his dying bed was sur rounded by strangers, who knew him only as one who loved hi 3 species, and labored to alleviate their woes and afflictions. The remains of How ard lie in the Crimea, near the present seat of war, but those of Bocllemet have been reclaimed bv his friends and deposited among those he loved aud was beloved by. ‘ If,’ said the eloquent preacher, ‘it be honor for the warrior to have the roar of ar tillery and the rattling of musketry over his grave, what honor would there be at the tomb of our brother, could we hear the sighs of anguish he has soothed, the woes he has alleviated, the tears of the widow and orphan he has quenched, the pangs of ckuess and sorrow which by his gentle ministra tions have been changed into smiles of health and hopefulness ?’ ” Purchase of Silver Coin* at the Mint.— -The iirector of the United States Mint at Philadelphia tas given notice that purchases of silver for coin age will be made on the following terms, payable in silver coins, of the new issues. Five franc tieees at 99 cents; old Spanish dollars at 105 cents, Mexican and American dollars at 106# cents; i kalf dollars of the U.

Robinson has sent a second message to the Free State Legisla ture of Kansas, stating that in his previous com munication he intended to recommend no course to be taken in opposition to the General Government, or to the Territorial Government; while it shall remain with the sanction of Congress, collision with either is to le avoided. In conformity with these sugges tions of the “Free State” Governor, both houses have adopted the following resolution : Resolved, By the Senate and House of Represen tatives of the State of Kansas, That the laws en acted by the present Legislature shall not have ef fect until an act be passed by the present or some future Legislature declaring them in force. It is stated that Judge Lecomptb, of Kansas, has caused the indictment of the members of the Free State Legislature, and that several of them had been arrested, and others had left the Territory. The Seed Lost.—The seed of sweet potatoes, says the Elyton Alahamanian, is undoubtedly, lost iu this part of the State. As far as we can hear North and South, not one has escaped the severe freezes of the past winter. Several of our citizens last week sent to Tuscaloosa, hoping to procure seed in that part of the State, but none could be found.

A great many learned treatises have been written, explaining the origin of, and classifying the worms generated in the human system. Scarcely any topic of medical science has elicited more acute observation and profound research ; and yet physicians are very much divided in opinion on the subject. It. must be admitted, however, that, after all, a mode of ex pelling these worms, and purifying the body from their presence, is of more value than the wisest disquisitions as to the origin. The expelling agent has at length been found— Dr. ATLane's Vermi fuge, prepared by Fleming Bros., is the much sought after specific, and has already superseded ail worm medicines, its efficacy being universally acknowledged by medical practitioners? l-jT~ Purchasers will be careful to ask for DR.
