The House of Representatives consists of 234 mem
bers—-118 members constituting a majority, it w ill
be seen from the above table that the Democrats have
a clear niajoritv of twenty-two over the combined
vote of the black republicans and know nothings.
This majority will be increased to twenty live at an
early period of the session by the admission of the
three democratic members from the new State of
Minnesota. It may be added as a most significant
fact that six of the*seven Territories of the United
States will be represented in the next Congress by
Democratic delegates,

STARILING FACTS.
The Was!i’m ,, t<»n Union makes the following
impressive summary:
•• Our paper money system has always been i
attended with bad results. It has cost the'
country in oue way an I another, more than all
our foreign wars, including that of the revolu- '
tion. One explosion follows another. The
loss on each occasion upon real estate, cotton, j
farm crops and stocks, has amounted to mil- |
lions upon million.-. I’hat sustained on bank
capital and by depreciation of bills up to IH4I
was furnished by Mr. Secretary Woodbury up
on a call of the Senate in February 1841
Senate Doe. 180. 2d session 2<>th Congress—
from which we take the following:
CAPITAL BTO< K
Capital <d 20 banks tailing before
1811, - - - - - $3,00b,0U0
Capital of PJS banks failing be-
tween 1811, and 1830 - - 86,787,30’J ,
Capital <»t 15<> (of which 140 are
ascertained) between 1830 and
1841 - - - - - 45.000,000
Capital of 30 banks which have
suspended and probably failed 12,000,000

ure - - - - -- - 48,393,654
Loss of one-half of the capital on
the remaining cases - - 24,106,827 |
Aggregate loss ... 72,590,481 ■
LOSS ON CIRCI LATION.
If the circulation out when these banks fail
cd were estimated nt equal to one-half of the
capitalit would amount to $48,393,654. It would
probably lie more than the whole capital. If
one-fourth of it is lost it would
amount to - ... $18,147,6201
Deposites estimated at the same
amount 18,147,6201

RECAPITULATION.
Loss on capital - - - 72,590,481
| “on circulation - 18,147,620 i
u on deposites and balances - - 18,117,620 .
; Aggregate - 108,885,721 '
We have not room forallthede-
| tails, and therefore give a gener
; al statement in the words of the
report:
To this may now be added the
loss of the whole capital (except
3percent.) of the United States
Bank - 325,000,000
■ Estimated loss of capital and on
bills on banks failing since 1841
nut less than - - - 10,000,000
153,882,721
SUMMARY (CP TO 1841.)
1. Losses by bank failures - - $108,885,721
2. Losses by suspension of specie
payments by banks and conse
quent depreciation of their notes
(very low) - - - 95,000,000
; 3. Losses by destruction of bank
notes by accident - 7,121,332
! 4. Lossesby counterfeit banknotes
beyond loss in coin ... 4,444,444
5. Losses by lluetuatioiis in bunk
l currency allccting prices, ex
travagance in living, sacrifices
i on property, and by only a part
of the other incidents to the
banking system not computed,
at least (not half the amount) 150,000,000
Aggregate computed - - - 365,451.497
, And for United States bank and
others since 1851 - - - 45,000,000
$410,451,497
AiVaccurate computation of the losses occa-
■ sinned by the present failures of the banks
would a»ld largely to the statistics we give
alwive, and probably in the depreciation of
the value of real estate; cotton, farm produce.
stiM-ks. bank bills, and all other things would
amount to not less than three hundred and fif
ty million. Add this amount to funner esti
mated lus>t Resulting from paper money banks,
and it makes $765,471,497. Thia is probably
below, rather than above, the true test amount.
MACON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1857.
To this should be added the loss and suffering
of the thousands us the poor and needy thrown
out oi employment by bank failures, which can
not be reduced to and be estimated by dollars
and cents.
MISCELLANY.
Woman’s Laugh.—A woman has no nat
ural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh.
It leaps from her heart in clear sparkling rill; I
the heart hears it and feels bathed in the j
exhilarating spring. It turns the prose of our
lite into poetry; it tiings showers of sunshine 1
over the darksome wood in which we arc trav- !
cling; it touches with light even our sleep,
which is no more the image of death, but is
consumed with dreams that are the shadows 1
of inimortuHty.
Hard Times on the Press.—New York.
Oct. 28.—The hard times are having their ef
fect on newspapers—many of whom are as poor
Job’s Turkey, which had but one feather in its
tail. All sorts of expedients are resorted to
stem the current, but the principal ones are a
reduction in size, a less frequent publication, or
an amalgamation of several journals into one.
So scarce is the cash with some of the sub- '
scribers of country papers that the latter ad
vertise their willingness to take their pay in
eggs, butter, hams, apples, &c., &c.
A Lengthy Account.—The last quarterly
returns or account of the business of the New
York City Post Office, which was received at
the Department in Washington in a day or two
after the close of the quarter, if stretched out
page by page continuously, would make a
string of piq>er quite three miles long.
The characteristic of Sweedish scenery is
woods of pine with glimpses of lakes under the i
sombre branches, and occasionally sunlit glades,
varied by groves of that exquisitely beautiful
tree, the northern birch. The glory of Scan
dinavia is the birch groves. The glimmering,
trembling leaves, the graceful droop of the
brandies, the light and shade—the tune which
nature herself’ in truest feeling, has impressed
on the bark of their gigantic trunks so that
without sunlight their checkered arches- —make
unforgetable pictures in the traveller’s memory.
Brace's Norse Folk.
A Simple Remedy.—A writer in the Balti
more Sun, who has been afflicted severely in
his family by that appalling disease, bronchitis,
has found relief from the following remedy :
*• Take honey in the comb, squeeze it out and
dilute with a little water, and wet the lips and
mouth occasionally with it.” It has never
been known to fail, in cases where children
had throats so swollen as to la? unable to swal
low. It is certainly a simple remedy and may
be a very efficacious one.
Bold Ti:i< k. —On Sunday last, says the Co
lumbus Enquirer of the 24th, a negru wagoner,
belonging to Mr. Torbittuf Macon county. Ala.,
brought 11 bales us cotton to the warehouse
for his master, and stored them, taking the
usual receipts tliervfor. On his way home, he
was met by a white man who told the negro
that li'h master hearing of the high price of
eottuu in Columbus, had concluded to sell, and
demanded the warehouse receipts of the negro,
which were given up. At the warehou>v he
represented himself a> the overseer of Mr. Tor
bitt (giving the same name as the overseer’s.)
and the proprietors knowing that Mr. T. had
an overseer by that name, delivered over the
cotton which was sold at 11 cents, the rogue
pocketing the funds, and making his way to
parts unknown. Hie boldest trick of the sea
sun this I
Narrow Escape from a Panther.—A citi
zen of Thomas county was riding near Barnett's
cm k a few days .since, when he heard some
thing like the cry of distress in the swamp.—
He replied tojit repeatedly and it approached rap
idly towards him. Judge of his surprise when
he saw a large panther creep from the low
bushes tiiat skirted the swamji. The beast
saw him and made at him, but being well
mounted he made his escape. The statement
was made to us as a fact.— Wire Grass Re
porter.
Important Invention for Cotton Planta
tions. —At the recent Fair of the American
Institute a silver medal was awarded to Major
George G. Henry, of Mobile, Alabama, for his
improvement in the manufacture of yarn, by
spinning the seed cotton on the plantation.—
The inventor has contracted with George L.
Yerger, Esq., jm extensively known cutton
grower of Yazou county Mississippi, on whose
plantation the machine is to go into immediate
operation, to spin the seed cotton into yarns to
the extent us 450 hales per annum, for five
years. This machine is destined to work an
entire revolution in the manufacture of cotton.
Direct Trade. —The Columbus Enquirer has
the following paragraph:
A gentleman of the first mercantile experi
ence and"abilities, who has the largest banking I
house at his hack, wishes to open a direct trade
between New Orleans and Europe. He will
furnish ships which in fifty days after clearance
will return with the value of the cargo in gold,
she owners of the produce in the meantime
can control the money.
Planters and others who feel interested in
this matter, can receive additional information
by calling on the editor of the Enquirer.
Important to ovr Fair Readers.—At pres
ent from the extent and interior dcvelopements
mysteriously involved in a ladies’ fashionable
dress, ti.“ir is no exact inode of forming the
calculatio.i of ths cost of such gear. This mat
ter has given rise to a new notion which will
save the ladies a good deal us extra dressing as
well as tieing on of swell-out round-abouts. &c.
By last steamer reports from Europe, we pvr
. ecive that at Lyons, France, they now manu
facture a species of silk for ladies dresses, so
thick and stiff’ as to obviate the necessity of
■ crinoline.
Wc give this item for our lady readers and
at the same time beg to inform husbands as
well as “young men about to marry” that the
cost of such a dress is 1200 francs or about
$240 each I I7re les modes!—Georgian.
“Concealed M’eaj’ons.”—We see a para
graph in many papers to the effect that the
authorities of Washington Uity have passed an
1 ordinance against the carrying of concealed
weapons. Some of the papers quote the ordi
nance in full, which forbids the carrying of
“dangerous” weapons—not a syllable about
concealment. Laws against carrying concealed
weapons are purely abused for if the weapon
is concealed, proof is impossible, and if it is
seen there is nu concealment.
Removing Warts.—A paste made of the
ashes ot willow bark and vinegar, and put on
the warts once or twice a day for a week or so.
will cure them. Avery little nitric acid put
on a wart once a day, for a few days, is a sure
cure in every cai»e, without soreness or pain,
unless the acid is used too freely. - Whittle out
a stick about as large as a knitting needle, dip
this into the acid, and just touch the top of the
* wart with it. It is better to get on too little
than too much. The cure in certain, but the
danger is in getting on so much as to cause
pain.
Large Ears or Corn.—Mr. J. T. Parker, ot
Jefferson county, hat sent us twenty-six ears
of com, that, when shelled, measured half a
bushel w«jll shaken down. It was raised on
land which has been under cultivation for thir
ty years, and without being prepared for an
extra yield by any application of manure. He
informs us also that it is a fair sample of his
entire crop.— Republican.
Negroes not Citizens.—The Springfield
Republican (Mass.) cites the following case:—
Thomas llowiamLa colored, citizen of R. 1.,
being about to emigrate to Liberia with his
wife and daughter, applied to the State De
partment at Washington for a passport, or cer
tificate of nationality. The answer returned
to his notary was: “Mr. Martin must certain
ly be aware that passports arc not issued to
persons of African extraction. Such jiersons
are not deemed citizens of the United States.
See the case of Dred Scott, recently decided by
the Supreme Court."
Snake Bites.—Since writing our article on
insect bites, we have noticed that a child was
bitten on the arm by a rattlesnake. It was
bound up in wet ashes; no ill results were ob
served to follow. Whiskey was swallowed freely.
But as spiris have been known to fail signally
in such cases, we may attribute the cure to the
alkali of the ashes and vcsAvT.—llaWt Journal
of Health.
A new Catholic Translation of the Bi
ble. —Hie London Catholic Register makes the
following announcement:
“ M e are authorized to state that in accord
ance with the decres of the last Synod at West
minster, which have lately been returned from
Rome, w ith thw approbation of the Holy See,
the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster has
entrusted the preparation of a corrected ver
sion in English of the Holy Scriptures to the
care of Dr. Newnan"
Moxut.—The coinage of the world amounts
to fully three thousand million of dollars, and
only a hundred and twenty-five millions are
necessary to the purchase of the cotton crop.
The coinage now in the United States is esti
mated at 250,000,000, an amount nearly suffi
cient for their currency; but it is locked up
and hoarded in a great part. In no part of the
world except the United States, is paper mo
ney of denominations corresponding w ith coin
tolerated. The smallest bill of the Bank of
England is the £5 note, or $25, and of France
s2n, or 100 francs.
Damages for Breach of Promise.—ln the
Circuit Court ot Bedford county, Va., last
week. Miss Almira W. Wingfield, obtained a
venliet for $2,500 damages from Wm. Stein,
for breach of marriage contract. The lady is
about 34 years of age and the gentleman SO.—
lliis was the second trial of the ease, a former
jury having given a verdict of $750 for the
plamtitl, which wa* set aside on motion ot" the
defendant.
New Hotel in Mvrictt.v Ga.—The Advo
cate sins: Across the street, to the east of
this, on the site of the <dd Marietta Hotel, we
have Cole's Hotel, in progress, presenting to
ward the public square, a front of 120 feet, and
extending back on the one cross street 100
feet, ami on the other 130 feet. The Hotel is
to have eighty rooms, and to be of three stories,
besides a basement of stone. The Brick work
is now carried nearly to the top of the second
story.
A mericaN Ra i lr< >ai>s. —The aggregate length
of all the railroads in the United States is about
twenty thousand miles, w ith a united capital
stock of near three hundred and ciglity-five
millions of dollars, and a bonded debt of four
hundred millions. To this there must be add
ed the floating debt probably not far, if any, '
short ot another one hundred millions, making
a grand total of nine hundred millions of dol
lars expeudeded in railroad property manage- i
nient and mismangemeat.—A'. }'. Pvt.
The Defeat of the American Horses. —
The American horses Princess and Babylon,
made inglorious performances in the race for
the Cambridgeshire stakes at New Market,
England. Thirty-one horses ran, and Babvlon
actually came in last. Mr. Parr’s “Gold Trick"
was the winner.
Brigham Young is a native of Vermont ami
in the 56th year of his age.
The Hermitage.—Gov. Johnson, of Tennes
see, reports the purchase for the State of the
Hermitage, and its tender to the Federal Gov
ernment. In case the tender is not accepted,
the Governor recommends that the property
be retained as a residence, for the future Gov
ernors of the State.

Courts of Inquiry, has given up some half
dozen cases of officers retired and furloughed
by the Naval Boards on the ground that he
had no charge whatever to bring against them.
Here is a tine illustration of the justice ami in
telligence of that Star Chamber concern. Half
a dozen, and perhaps more officers thrown
overboard, against whom, w hen they are al
lowed the slave's privilege of a fair trial, and
being brought face to face with their accusers,
the Attorney for the Government confesses
that he cannot find a single particle of
proof. This is enough not only to seal the
, condemnation of that tribunal, but to prevent
any future attempt at such a cruel and iniqui
tous mode of treating any class of men in the
service of their country. A man-of-war is
necessarily a despotism, but we doubt wheth
er the man-of-war ever floated, in which the
lowest scullion was put under the lash of the
cat, without being permitted to know the
charges against him, and have some sort of a
chance at reply. Yet here are officers, some
of them covered with honorable scars, not
even apprised of an accusation against them,
till the sentence came, as suddenly as a thun
derbolt, and almost as destructive. As far as
the Courts of Inqniry and the Executive can
remedy these acts of injustice, they should
make haste to do it.— Richmond Iliepatch.
THE MORMON DIFFICULTIES
The dispatches to the Government confinn
the destruction of the trains and the Mormon
opposition to the entrance of the U. S. Troops
into V tab. Brigham Young defies the General
Government, and counsels hostilities in a deter
mined manner.
The Administration regards it as a declara
tion of w ar.
The Georgia Legislature.—A bill has pass
ed the Georgia Semite legalizing the annual ses
sions of tile Legislature.
The Senate also passed a bill directing Tax
j Collectors to receive in payment of taxes all
bank bills in general circulation at the time of
payment, and the State Treasurer, County
Treasurers, and officers of the State road, are
also directed to receive the same kind of cur-
Irency.
