Letter tront Hon. W. A. Richardson.
rite press ot the Know Nothing party are per
sisting in saying that I refused to vote for Gov
Aiken on the final vote for Speaker of the House
of Representatives of the present Congress. I
ask you to publish the remarks, which I enclose
made by me in the House of Representatives The
fact that 1 bad paired off with Mr. Emrie, of Ohio
a friend and supporter of Mr. Banks, has been
twtee stated by me in the House of Representa
ttves. I ask the favor of the Democratic papers
throughout the country to publish this card and
the remarks, to the end that every one mav be
satisfied of what the facts are in the premises.
W. A. Richardson.
\\ ashington, April 3,1856.
Extract lrom the House proceedings as published
m t.ie oong rwsufti'ul Globe of February 2:
Mr. Richardson—lam not going to debate. 1
I am going to make the single announement to the
I Ryuse tliat I have agreed with the gentleman from
Ufiio [Mr. Emrie,] who hud paired off with the
gentleman from Virginia, [Mr. Faulkner,] that,
when the gentleman from Virginia returned, I
i '' ou c ‘ P :ur with hint [Mr. Emrie] for two weeks.
The gentleman front Virginia is this morning in
ins seat, and I shall therefore be compelled, under
| the arrangement I have made, from this time for
: ward to decline to vote. If I could have foreseen
that the important questions before the House
were now about to be settled, I should have de
clined to have entered into any agreement b\
which my name would fail to appear upon the re
cord. T regret the necessity lam under, but have
fit it due to myself to state to the House the rea
son why my name will not appear upon the record
Extract from the House proceedings, ns publish
ed in the Congressional Globe, of Feb. 27:
i Mr. Richardson (by unanimous consent of the
House) said : 1 desire to submit a few remarks to
the House upon the same point, to which the gen
tleman from North Carolina Mr. CraigeJ lias just
spoken. Like liim, in certain portions of the
i country cbmments have been made upon the fact
i that my name did not appear upon the record of
; tiie final vote for Speaker of tins House. It is
known here that I had paired off with Mr. Emrie,
of Ohio. He had voted steadily for you, Hr. Speak
er, for some weeks before 1 paired off with liirn.
If both of us had voted, tiie result would have been
the same—lie would have voted for you, and 1 for
Nil, Aiken; and I need not say that] if I had been !
entitled to vote, 1 should have voted with great ■
pleasure for my friend, Governor Aiken, of South :
Carolina.
Mr. Speaker, I need not sav to you, nor need I I
say to this House, that I was’opposed to your c!ec :
tion—not upon any personal grounds, for between
you and me there is no reason why 1 should have j
any personal objection ; but it was upon political i
grounds. L was upon the ground that I did not I
believe that your election would, contribute so :
much to tighten the bonds which bind these States
together as would tiie election of my friend from I
South Carolina, [Mr. Aiken.]
It is well known to the House, sir, that, from the i
first moment of the struggle to the close of the con- ;
test, I was opposed to your election. And, sir, if j
I had reasons for that opposition then, tliev are i
doubly strengthened now. I know that, if my !
friend from South Carolina had been placed ii: :
that chair, the section of the country from which I
come—the fifteen States west of the Alleghany
mountains—would have had some representative's ■'
upon the Committee on Naval Affairs; that, in the
danger which is now impending over us, some
voice would in that committee be heard in favor of
increasing the navy till our guns could protect our
commerce, and take care of our interests in even
ocean upon the globe. There would have been |
from those fifteen States more than one voice upon
the Committee on Foreign Affairs to urge, bv all
honorable means, the settlement of all diflicultie
between this country and Great Britain ; but if our ■
difficulties cannot be honorably settled—if war i
must be—then there will be a million of soldiers j
ready to pour out their hearts’ blood to defend out
honor, our rights, and our soil beneath the Hag of j
our whole country.

We take ihe following front the correspondence
of the New York Tribune:
Virgin Bat, March 21, 1856.
An army of two hundred and eighty left this
place a week ago tor Costa Rica under command of
1 \>l. Sehtessinger, who was rejected as commission
er to the Government of that Republic. Reports
from the army have described several skirmishes
with small companies, but nothing as yet of im
portance. Gnanacaste was to be entered yester
day. There is no expectation of much resistance,
though the Costa Ricans are reported brave, and
they have several hundred Minie rifles. Recruits
are ordered for the invading army from Leon and
Massaya, which will be replaced from the new ar
rivals expected from California and the East.
The Brother Jonathan has comedown from Cali
fornia, with two hundred and fifty passengers, in
fifteen days and seven hours, the longest trip on
record for years. The Sierra Nevada is confident
ly expected soon with at least three hundred troops.
The Sierra Nevada was attacked by the Nicaraguan
Government. Same day, on steamer San Carlos,
met the Virgin with one hundred and fifty troops,
from New Orleans, and a small company from New
York, and Col. Hornsby and Parker H. French.
Hornsby will join the invading army—probably
lake the lead of it —and with an army of seven or
eight hundred descend upon San Jose. The news
from the seat of war bv the next steamer will boos
more interest.
Virgin Bay, March 21 —fi, P. M.
1 have this moment, received the inclosed letter,
from Zapoya, the dispatches for the President go 1
on to Granada by land. An officer lias also arrived '
who confirms ibis intelligence, and sava Colonel
Sclilessinger would enter Guanacoste at nine this
morning.
The steamer California was one day over time.
News of her arrival reached here this morning.
Sii<‘ brings but few men for Walker.
A native Colonel informs me that a regiment of
native volunteers had tendred their services to the ;
Government. Ex-Councilman Kerrigan lias had
permission to resign his commission as second !
lieutenant, and returns to New York.
Z \eov.*., Tuesday, March is, is.vt.
We entered this beautiful place at sa. in. The ;
enemy was in sight, numbering eight hundred,
and was strongly posted. Wc sent out two compa
nics of Fry's regiment as skirmishers. The ene- |
my ran. Population about three thousand. The
people deserted nearly all their dwellings. We |
captured two brass nine-pounders, and three carro- !
nodes, with considerable ammunition, and at least !
three hundred nmles and horses. Some of the
men found considerable sums of money. The
Colonel has taken the greatest part of it. Bon :
Juan Buis is said to be in the mountains with four j
hundred men, intending to make a diversion upon
Virgin Bay.

Important to Lessors Void Contracts for i
Rent, Ac,
Mi. FUfor: At the late term of the Superior
Court of Macon county, a question was decided j
which may affect the interest of property-holders |
in large cities, who invest cupital in a certain i
" class of buildings, or rather, who let to a partic- j
lar description of tenants, Ac. The facts were
these:
J. A. Ralston, of the city of Macon, brought an
, action for rent against a woman of ill fame, who
occupied his houses for objects contrary to a sec
tion of the Penal Code. The defence set up was.
that the contract was against public policy, and
therefore void. It was proved that the plaintiff at
the time he let bis houses, knew the character of
the lessee, and from circumstances, must have been
apprised of the use for which they were rented by
the defendant. The Court (Judge Worrill) in
structed the Jury, Ihai if they believed the plain- j
tiff had such knowledge when the contract was j
1 made, be could never recover. The case being on !
, the appeal, the special Jury rendered a verdict for
the defendant.
i It is believed that this decision is the lirst in
Georgia, settling the principle of immorality in
contracts for rent of such establishments. The
rule is a just one, and must have a beneficial es
: feet. It is well sustained by authority.

Tn k Railroad vote at Augusta.—We would
state, in answer to the Augusta Chronicled • Senti
nel, that our brief comment upon the recent vote
in Augusta, on a subscription to the Savannah
river Valley railroad, was written hastily and at a
very late hour of the niglit—or rather, an early
I hour in the morning—and as published, does not !
convey our real meaning. We simply meant to
I gay that, if the registry is to be the standard for j
reckoning a “ majority,” when parties are so I
equally balanced such" a construction would ena
ble the minority to defeat the will of the majority,
’ as in nine eases out of ten, many of the latter
! would be either dead, sick, absent from the city,
or kept a wav from the polls by some other cause.
We have" read the article of “Richmond,” and
see noting in it to cause us to change our opinion
of the validity of the decision rendered at the late
. election. When the law provides that a thing is
! to he done by the consent of “a majority of the
voters” of a town or city, we arc of opinion that
that majority shall be ascertained at the pod*, as
those who stay away do so at their own peril. Sup
j pose there was no registry in Augusta, as was the
case last year, how would you ascertain the fact
; whether the majority polled at the election was
really a majority of the “legal voters” of the city,
as required by law ?
We dot with wish to be regarded as interfering
. j in the local matters of our sister city, and only al
■ i hided to the subject, in the first instance, as one of
> j general interest, and embracing a point of legal
i t construction. — Savannah Republican.

Mayor's Office, )
Augusta, April id, 1850. f
Gentlemen of tkc City Council of Augusta:
The time has arrived when it becomes my dutv
to submit to you the annual message.
We meet to-day for the last time us a body, to I
legislate for those who delegated to us the privi
lege and honor. During the past twelve months, j
much we hope for the good of the city has been I
done. Your able legislation has left me but little
to recommend, but there are a few enactments j
that I believe would add to our prosperity. Before
I proceed to submit for your consideration recoin- I
mendations and propositions, allow me to con- !
gratulate you, and through your citizens, upon the I
the prosperity and health of our city. Never has our !
city enjoyed a greater degree of health than for !
the past twelve months. No epidemics have pre- !
vailed, and whilst some of our sister cities have j
been fearfully scourged by disease, a kind Provi- ’
dcnce has blessed us with uninterrupted health, I
and almost a total exemption from disease. This i
exemption from disease and uninterrupted health |
has permitted ns to send to the atllicted and dis- j
tressed succor such as money could not buy—ex
perienced and valuable nurses—-and the good they :
accomplished by their self-sacraficing devotion to j
suffering humanity, is deserving of praise.
The exemption from disease and the uninter
rupted health enjoyed by our city, has been caused,
it is believed, (under the blessings of a kind Pro
vidence) by the efforts to keep the city clear of
pestilence-breeding accumulations. The judicious
efforts of the Board of Health, seconded by the
citizens generally, have certainly wrought a change
in the cleanliness of our city. We need but a boon- j
tiful supply of water, with which to clear our !
drains and keep down the dust, to insure us at all j
times against the prevalence of epidemics. As an ;
evidence of our prosperity, 1 have only to point
you to our ever busy merchants and mechanics, 1
and the constant improvements going on in all j
parts of our city.
At the date of my last message in 1854, it was a I
subject of regret that the Augusta Orphan Asylum j
existed only in name. Now it is a subject of con- j
gratulation that its affairs arc in a prosperous con- I
dition, and it is giving succor and a home to the j
fatherless. The Asylum is now established on so
firm a basis as to quiet all fears of its certainty to j
do good. Besides the large appropriations made ;
by you, the late Isaac Tuttle has bequeathed to the
Institution about sixty thousand dollars—a most !
noble charity to a most noble cause. Wc have now i
in our city two houses for the fatherless the An- i
gusta Orphan Asylum, and an Asylum under the 1
direction of, an 4 supported by the ladies of one of
our religious denominations; the two Asylums |
furnishing homes to twenty-seven orphans—-six- j
teen in the Augusta Orphan Asylum ami eleven in !
the Episcopal. Mrs. Dodge, the Matron of the for- *
mcr, and Mrs. Strong, of the latter, are mothers j
indeed to the motherless.
The Public Schools are in a most prosperous
condition. The Houghton Disunite, under the able
management of Mr. LaTaste and Mrs. E. Wheeler,
and the Augusta Free .School, under the manage- j
inent of Mr. Snowden, have felt vour fostering care j
and liberal appropriations, and are now dissemi- I
nating the blessing of a sound education to him- j
dreds of children who would otherwise be reared
in ignorance.
All the important work on the Augusta Canal •
has been completed. Consequently, there will he
but a small annual appropriation necessary to keep |
it in repair. The good this work has done, is too ‘
apparent to need comment. The amount of pro- \
duce brought down the Canal to our city is yearly
increasing. For particulars, 1 refer you lo the dab- j
orate reports of Mr. Win. Phillips, the Engineer. I
Four years ago I first called the attention of the j
City Council to the great good to he done bv the j
erection of a Work House. Committees have i
been appointed, plans offered, and reports made, j
but there the work has stopped, and so far resulted |
in no good. There are on an average at least ten j
blacks confined in jail, in idleness, the year round, j
and it lias been shown that this number engaged i
in breaking stone, by proper machinery, driven |
by the waste water from the Factory and Mills, j
would macadamize at least one of our much used !
cross streets each "year, and thereby save much la- |
l»or and expense in keeping up those streets. The !
Georgia Railroad Company have macadamized f
Walker street, from Jackson to Campbell, and j
thereby demonstrated the feasibility of the pro- i
posed improvement. This street is always in good :
order, whilst other streets, during wet weather,
from the nature of the soil, are almost impassible I
for loaded vehicles. Along the line of Canal there j
is an inexhaustible quantity of stone, well suited <
I for the purpose -easily quarried and loaded on !
i boats, and brought to the central point where the ;
waste water from the Mills is discharged into the !
; third level of the Canal. This large quantity of I
: water is now useless, hut could, with a small out- j
lay of money for proper machinery, be made avail- '
l able for the purpose of macadamizing and making
| good our streets, and saving a large item of our
■ vearlv expenditures. Have this matter thorough
| ly investigated, and I feel confident that it will re
! suit in good to the city.
| The Fire Department has on all occasions given
! evidence of a most efficient organization. The
i promptness and efficiency with which they act on
j all occasions of conflagrations, is hut an evidence ;
i that your liberal appropriations have not been mis- j
! spent, and should prompt you to sustain them by
making all necessary appropriations to increase
their present state of efficiency, and to give them
an abundant supply of water. Do this, and Au
gusta need never fear extensive conflagrations. I
cannot close this part of my message without again
| calling your attention to tho service done by Mr.
; Platts stationary tire engine, in the destructive
! fire on Broad street, on the last of September. It
, furnished the engines with a supply of water, and
! but for which supply the results would have donbt
: less been most disastrous, as all the water in the
1 immediate vicinity of the fire was exhausted. And
I I would recommend that Council would by appro
priations. or otherwise, encourage the fixing of
i force pumps and other fire apparatus to all the sta-
I tionary engines in the city.
| The voters of the city have recently bv election,
j recommended the subscription of $500,000 to the
Savannah River Valley railroad, and it is to he
; hoped that steps will be taken at an early day to
build the road, and thus secure to Augusta the
! great good that must inevitably result from the
J completion of a project that connects our city by
so short a route with the West, through the Rabun
; Gap, and ultimately do so much for the prosperity
1 of our city. This subject has so recentlv been
I thoroughly investigated and discussed before you,
j that I deem it unnecessary to sav more in relation
!to it. Build this road and secure a direct connec
i tion with Macon byway of Warrenton, and Au
j gusta will have all that she can desire in the way
} of railroad connections.
! Time and daily experience have bat confirmed
me in the opinion that the Guard Room should be
moved from so public a place as the Citv Hall.
The reasons for this recommendation must he ob
vious to all. The scenes incident to and unavoida
ble in the management of a certain class of our
; population, are repugnant to many, and unplea
sant to all.
| Mr. William Phillips, the Engineer of the Au
i eufa Canal and late City Surveyor, has comple
j ted and published a map of our city It is be
I believed accurate in its details, and’most elab*
orate in execution. The completion of this ivort
j will greatly facilitate the labors of the Assessor
’ and has already placed upon your Tax Digest
' much property that had escaped taxation. S
1 believe all cities of the population of Au<nista
I have established a City Dispensatory, andaopoint
' ed one or more physicians to attend' the sick noor
j Augusta is wanting in this-noble charity. The
| scenes of the summer and fall of 1554 should have
j impressed you with the necessity of somethin** of
* the kind. From the want of any public dispensa-
J tory, many of our sick poor nius't suffer, but for the
j noble charity of our physicians. I would there
i fore recommend that the*Ordinance establishing a
I Dispensatory and the appointment of Charity
Physicians, so long on your table, be taken up, de
j finitely acted upon, and its provisions carried out.
The establishment of Recorder’s Court will
greatly lessen the duties of the Mayor, and enable
him to devote more of his time to the generalgood
of the city ■ and I believe will result in good to the
citjn
The passage by the Legislature of a Registry
Law, has already given evidence of the good ex
pected by its advocates. It secures the payment
of a portion of the City Tax, that would otherwise
he unpaid, and will check, if not prevent the
growing evil of illegal voting.
The tire in September last has given you an op
portunity of opening a street from the City Hall
to Broad street at less expense than could have
been expected. It is to he hoped that you will
avail yourselves of the circumstance to make this
great!}' desired improvement. The advantages to
be obtained are so evident, that I deem it unne
cessary to urge the project farther upon vour
notice.
For some years past the subject of supplying
cuir city with water by Artesian wells has been ag
itated, and, after much correspondence and con
sultation a contract has been made with Messrs.
Welton A Stearns, and the work begun under au
spices that may reasonably encourage us to hope
that it will succeed, and that we may procure an
abundant supply of water for all purposes.
I refer to the report of the Committee on ac
counts for a statement of the Finances of the city,
by which report it will be seen that the city is in a
prosperous condition, and her resources ample to
meet all her engagements.
Now, gentlemen, the time approaches when we
meet for the last time as a body; when we must
surrender to others the offices delegated to us by
our fellow citizens. And in taking leave of you,
permit me to return you my sincere and heart-felt
thanks for the uniform kindness and courtesy that
has ever marked your intercourse towards me,
both in my individual and official capacity. This
kindness and courtesy will ever be borne in grate
ful remembrance by me. Aud allow me to wish
you all, individually and collectively, a long life of
health and prosperity.
Ever gratefully, yours,
W.m. E. Bearing, Mayor, C. A.

Mr. Editor: Having the good fortune to witness
a surgical operation performed by Dr. J. M. Hill,
of this city, it affords me much pleasure to speak
of his skill and success us a surgeon. I have been
present when many difficult surgical operations
were performed, by some of the most distinguish
ed surgeons in the medical faculty, and I never
saw one yet that could surpass Dr. Hill for his
boldness and great nerve, and at the same time
ids neatness, precision, and success.
The case was that of a negro girl about eighteen
years of age. She received a contusion by a fall
from a carriage in February, 1555, wliicli|produced
a tumor in the right mamma and was correctly
diagnosed osteosarcoma. It increased rapidly in
size at times to be attended with great pain, until
extirpation became necessary, which operation
was performed in about one minute. The tumor
weighed one and a lialf pounds. The operation
was performed early last week, and since that
time the patient has been doing well, and will soon
enter upon herlieeustomed duties. W.

By the late arrivals from Burope, we learn
that the typhus fever is prevailing to a most alarm
ing extent at Odessa, a flourishing and populous
city of Russia, on the Black Sea. Out of a popula
tion of about seventy thousand, there are about
twenty thousand confined to the hospitals by the
fever, and several thousands have already died.
In one week twelve military physicians and four
medical men in private practice died. Among
them were two Americans, who were about to re
turn home. The typhus has committed terrible
ravages in the whole of southern Russia, and par
ticularly in those places which are near the theatre
of war. Bakshiserai, Simpheropol, Kherson and
Nicholaieff, are almost empty. It is estimated that
this pestilence has already carried off one hundred
thousand men. It is gradually spreading over
Bessarabia.
