UNITED STATES’ SENATOR.
The Georgia Courier, on the ub
jert-of a successoi of Judge Berrien,
makes the following appropriate
remarks.
“The election of Governor and
Congressional representative is over.
The results are fixed and cannot be
altered, if they were wrong, But
the election of a successor of Judge
Berrien in the Senate of the Union
will be made by the next legislature,
and will furnish the first opportunity
of following the advice given in tin
foregoing rematks. It is assert
ed in private conversation! and w 1
have seen it stated in the public prints,
that Mr. Forsyth, at present the only
candidate, will have opposition fm
Senator in Congress. Mr. Forsyth's
friends cannot object to an honurabh
opposition. The dignity of the offic e
is worthy of competition, and should
bring out the brightest talents of the
State. But they object to such an op
position as is threatened—bottomed
on private ambition—party calcnla
lions, and a pros riptive spirit, as r
gardlcss of splendid talents and servi
ces as the honor and prosperity of the
State.”
AH Pe Counties have been heard from

The six small counties cannot vary
much the above result — lb.
An attempt is making to depreciate
the merits of Governor Forsyth. Not
satisfied with one victim, the party oppos
ed tu s expresses an earnest desire to
make another sacrifice. Various charges
and aspersions are uttered against Mr.
Forsyth, which it is not necessary to re
peat or to refute—'he People and their
Representatives by wli. m he has been 10
oft* n crowned with honors know them
to be false. John For yth’s career wi I
add brilliance to the p ig- sos the future
Historian of this county —and although
party finds may occasionally spread
clouds about his way—possessed, as he
is, of talents, patriotism, and the affec
tions of the people—he may securely and
successfully walk onward to the rewards
of a rational and worthy ambition. YVe
f ve-y much mistake the complexion of the
Legislature, if any opposition to Mr. For
syth can be availing.— Constitutionalist .
It is with no ordinary gratification we
announce that Judge Berrien's Oration
delivered before the Chosophic and A
merican Whig Societies at Princeton. 00
the 29th ult. was well received am| ap
plauded as a production both chaste and
eloquent, and that the orator received
.from the College the honorary degree of
Doctor oj Laws . Every Georgian—no
matter to w hat party he belongs—has rea
son to be proud of a fellow citizen whose
honors cannot hut reflect a lustre upon the
State of his nativity. Foroui own part,
we shall never cease to admire talent
and the gift of Genius—wherever they
may be found; and we hope yet to see
the day when our public men will cease
to grasp at each others laurels, and when
the people refusing to interfere with
personal strifes, will cherish those who
have abvliry to serve them, and who ex
’ ercise that ability with a patriotic devo
tion. Judge Berrien s Orattou will be
printed.— lb.

I remain with the highest consideration,

. In compliance with a request made in
the New-York Courier addressed to Ed
itors generally, we insert the following;—
REVOLUTIONARY SOLDIERS.
It is in contemplation to memoralize the j
ensuing Congress in favor of such Nob-
Commissioned Officers and Soldiers’of the I
Army of th- Revolution, as enlisted fr
three years, served to the close of the
war, and were honorably discharged, and
who received rmpenuons.
With this view, it is deemed expedient
to ascertain their number. Will some
person in each of the United Suites vol
unteer in this service, and communicate
the result as soon as practicable to Jambs
Fairlke, Esq. City Hall N. Y.P
The parties interest’ and are most likel y
to be onnd in the humbler w*lks of lile
—Officers of the Revolution, and patriotic
citizens, will therefore do well to circu
late this notice-’heir patronage is soficited.
To the go id feeling and I berality of
the pres-*, t- wards them, the old Army are
much indebted . and by a giatmtious inser
tion of this in tii ir respective papers,
Editors will confer one more favor (and
it nas the appeal of being the last,) on
a meritorious, but much injured remnant
of that Army, who are ab *ut to risk of
their countr y not charity but ju-tice.
Noth. —Claimants must be particular
to put down their whole time id service,!
whether in one or more campaigns and,
their present places of residence, and pay
their postage.
THE SIAMESE YOUTHS.
The advertisement which appears
in o it-pap r gives some idea of th.
singular—or, perhaps, to he gratnat
\ ally correct, the plural—figure of
the Siamese iads. Doctors Mitcheh
and Anderson, of New -York, in a note
to Captain Coffin, thus notice the
connexion of the brother**
“YVe find the in connected to cad
other by a band extending from tin
pit of the stomach oi each, made up in
the following manner;
‘‘The xiphod cartilage {proceeding
ifrotn the low* r part of their two breasi
bones, is contiguous and forms a hard
elasti upper edge to the baud that,
joins these boys. This cartilaginous
sucture is concave at its uinUr part,
becoming the upper boundary ofaca
nal in the hand, that communicates
with the abdominal cavities of both
children; from which the < anal is ne
cessarily Ini and by the < oiitiucd mem
brane, and the whole is covered by
common integuments or skin. Tim*
the band is constiUiteii; is from four
to ‘ix inches wi length and about two
in thickness, is rounded at its upper
part, and sharped at its under edge,
having midway at this part a cicatrix
or scar, snowing where was cotinecie.d
the single navel stung or iimbuli ns,
which alone nourished these two chil
dren before birth.
“Into the can.il of this almost cylin
dneal hand, there is a protraskin of
viscera from the abdomen ofeac.it ooy,
upon.every effort of coughing or oth
er exercise; and tins protrusion may
be of intestine, liver, stomach, or
spleen, as either of these pans should
respectively present to the openings
“The sense of feeling on the skin of
this band is connected with each boy
as far as toe middle of its length -from
his houy. And their pulse at the
wrists happened this day to heal 10 ai
.ternatnmj one of tuem we under a
might eatarrhal fever, with cough,
but it h and no influence on the other.’
The Doctors also express a belief
shat if tne countciing cartitageuous
structure should be separated by a
knife, fatal consequences would ensue.
That any human being has a right to
undertake the separation, we doubt,
at the present time.
The instances of connected human
bodies especially of those that have
lived, are exceedingly rare. liuft'm
notices the Hungarian Sisters, Judith
and Helene, united bat k to-back, with
an ulvine organ. They lived 21
years—the first died of a severe at
tack of fever, and the other imuiedi
ately followed her, showing no speci
fic symptom of disease.
YY e have before us a work that con
tains an account of numerous lustan-
similar freaks of nature; we are
not aware that any advantages would
result to our readers from a transla
tion oi any of them, or we should feel
hound to attempt it, (England,
France, Hungary, Persia, Russia, It
ftl„Y> &c. have ail been polific in such
I affairs;) for the benefit of those who
live iu single blessedness.

This useful class of citizens a*e still

June last, to this time, there has not been
sufficient work, in (his city, for more than
half their number, and they are obliged (o
work at reduced prices. The carpenters,
masons, and all those whose wotk is
chiefly out of doors, are more peculiarly
subjected to privations, from th. extreme
depressions of the times. There is little
or no building done in the city at this
time/, marry of those houses which were
erected at former seasons, having remain
ed unoccupied since the first of May. A
gentleman informed us this morning, that
carpenters could now he procured to work
for seventy five rents per day, and that
they formerly received twice that
sum for tne day. Masons, a class of me
chanics whose occupation is mere fatigu

jit is nearly the same with all other me
