He penetrated the mass of seem ingly unintelligible stuif, and reduced the chaos to order. For his ardous labors iu this purlieu-* lar, if he had rendered no other public service, he would deserve, to use the emphatic and tauto logical phraseology of Col. Benton, ‘-the eternal perpetual and EVERLASTING” gratitude of Jiis country. The printing of the official document was re sisted with great determination by the Adminis tration forces—some declaring it “libellious” others “erroneous,’’ and all shudering at the thought of its reaching the public eve The question of printing isuotyet decided.— tfQdg* From the Correspondent of the Charleston Courier. Washington, Jan. 13. In the Senate, today, there was very little of in terest. The morning hour was consumed in a discussion ofthe great land question, which sprang up on the presentation of the North Carolina joint resolutions. In regard to this great subject, there are almost as many thinds as m u in the Senate. There has been much indignant comment upon u sentiment expreesed by Mr. Kenton. He said, that-the new Stales, sooner titan assent to the com pact prop:; • : ;• 'it (’.dioitiu, or the >1 sr !> n.,.-, proposed by l; <*i to any oKjc, nu - Larina in view tho :• m >t:ou o t’i< rights of .he new .States, they would wait til! th it growing strong l l» would enable tti.-m ;.j -male a: tile head of th« compact. is.lut.fas pro ration*,” Some ot the memb*m from the new States have repudiated the >a of attempting to dictate to the I’niou the m<ot disposing o! tho public lauds. TheCtimberl.itni Koad Bill cam-; up today, iu the Senate. It appropi cttcs 40.000 dollars tor continuing the road in the States cOhio Indi ana and Illinois. Mr. Hubbard suggested that the condition of the Treasury was such as to ren der extreme econo ivy of expenditure nee • -.ary, and he moved to reduce the appr ijui itiou one third, which was agreed ro. Several members urged the necessity of a sftll further reduction, and Mr. King opposed the bill on principle. He moved to strike out the enacting c! i i>.-. v was agreed to—yeas 23, nays 22. So.t h;jj v,. rejected. Mr. Wall, however, mn- :1 a eration because the Senate was ; tin. t >.e ’ was reconsidered, and the motion to striv.- vt the enacting clause, rejected— veas 23, oays i(j. The bill was ordered to be engrossed. The House, last night sat till 11 o’clock, en gaged upon the resolution to refer, to a select, om miitee, the subject of the defalcation of 31 r. iSwartwout. The motion to elect the committee ay ballot, was agreed to—yeas 113, nays 105. The committee, as chosen, consisted of Mr. Harlan, of Kv. Mr. Curtis ot' N. V". Mr. Wise, of Va. 31r. Elmore, of 8. C. Mr. Smith of Me. Mr. Dawson of (la. Mr. Hopkins of Va Mr. Ilubley of Pa. and Mr. Cushman of N. H- 8o there were four Whigs, two (.’-.-rj-jervatives and three Administration men, so; posing Mr. El more to rank among the Inter. In the House of Representatives, to-dav, Mr. Elmore, who was chosen one ol the Committee of investigation, rose and asked to be excused from serving oh th ■ Committee for reasons which he proceeded to gite. It was evidently ihe in tention of the House so to constitute the Com mittee as to represent its various political inter ests, and he could not lie mistaken in the suppo sition that he was chosen as one who was presum ed to be a friend ol the Administration. Altho’ h*j had supported rlie Administration in some points, and should continue to do so, as long as he considered their course correct and proper, yet he had not been and was not now, an Adminisira tion man in the ordinary sense ol'tlie term. He was in a position tree to take such a course on any subject as he might deem proper, and he could not properly be considered as owing allegiance to any patty. It was a principle which he had uni formly and from Ins youth cherished and acted upon, that the government was entitled to sup port in all cases where its acts and policy were correct; but, if the opposition were put in power tomorrow, he would sustain them to the sameex ■ m'and on the same principles. 31 r. E. added a further reason, that his time was already engross ed by i*->e duties of other Committees. Mr. Wise opposed the motion for the excuse of Mr. Elmore, and remarked that, according to his own showing, he was not entitled to be excused. He had given the best possible reasons why lie should not be ex cused, viz. that he was a fair mail. He himself, was in the opposition, and sympathized with the opposition, but he would scorn himself, if he did not feel capable of doing justice to the adminis tration, if he thought them right. If the gentle man irom South ( arolina was less prejudiced, he was the more fit to serve on the committee. The result was, that after a long debate, Mr. Elmore was excused, yeas 118, nays !)5. Mr. Cushman and .Mr. Ilubley. were then ex cused on the score of other engagements. I’he House baliotted for three more Adminis tration men,butasthe Whigs and Conservatives ntn one ticket and the Van Buren another, and as there Were some scattering votes, so no one was elected. When the result ofthe bullotting was announc ed, Mr. Haynes of Ga. a friend of the Adminis tration, who was voted for, rose and stated that a number of ballots had, he perceived, been cast lorliim. He respectfully requested those gentlc /.rnen to turn their attention *o some other individ ual, instead of hint, for he would decline serving if elected. Mr. H. was called to order by Mr. /Bell, who said that every gentleman voted for niight he allowed to explain, if one could. The Speaker stated that the gentleman would make a mere explanation, but could not go into reasons. Dr. Taylor, of New York, then rose and also re quested that gentlemen would not waste time in voting for him, for, if chosen, he would not serve. Mr. Patton made a similar explanation. Several ineffectual attempts were made to adjourn, and a call ol the house was moved, bur rejected. On tho second ballot, the opposition elected Messrs. Taylor of N. Y. Martin of Ala. and Wag gener of Pa.

We congratulate the friends ofthe Free Bank ing Law upon the favorable reception which it has met with Irom the people, especially in this part ol the Suite. It will ae seen, by reference to the proceedings of a meeting held in this place, ou the 25th, that the citizens are aroused upon this matter, and we are happy to state that, not v.itLsvandmg the inclemency of the weather on t-iie day. tic . was a full house, of the real “bone •Ls.iiew” oft country. The subject was ably s : the favorable features ofthe bill pre .u-d n.-,d the object.ouable parts cleared away ami made plain, As the bbi in its details is lengthy and sotne vh u dilf: .i!t to be understood in all its features u re men ts, and as it appears some errone ous opiui ms have gone out iu relation to the mat ter, it may not be amiss to discuss the subject, in order drat tho community may be better informed, and some of these false impressions corrected. One of the objections to the bill is found in the 11 th section, whe.e provision is made, in case a demand should bo made upon the bank for the redemption of its bills in specie, and it should not be able to meet the demand, that the holder of' the bills shall have them protested for non-payment, and carry them up to the Comptrol ler and Commissioners, who shall, after 60 days’ notice, sell the bonds and mortgages of the stock holders, or any or cither of them, for the redemp tion of the protested notes. I'he objection seems to be urged on the ground that the bonds and mortgages of one individual stockholder may be sold for the redemption of the issup in which all the stockholders are interested, and under such circumstances they dislike to go into an associa tion as provided for in the iaw. And indeed, were there no means left to guard against this innova tion of one individual's rights, the objection would hold good ; but those who urge the objec tion do not consider that when they enter into an association'for the purpose of banking, they can secure themselves agaiust loss or injury, individ ually, by articles of agreement between them selves, which, as a matter of course, every asso ciation must necessarily have. Under circum stances like these, we conceive the objection must cease to operate against the law. Avery erroneous opinion lias entered the brain of some few, which is something after this sort— that after the property shall have been mortgaged to the Staie, and the association ready to enter in to business, that the State w ill advance the 25 per ; cent in specie, required by the law before the 1 Bank can go into operation. Os all the wrong im i pressions which are afloat on this subject, none, perhaps are wider from the mark than this, we be lieve, however, there are but few who labor under this impression. The State does not advance a single copper to any institution; but each indi vidual who shall enter into an association, must, himself pay in 25 percent in specie, upon the cap ital he invests, or the interest he has in the Bank. Some, again, hare taken up an idea, that when they shall have mortgaged their property, they will be allowed to draw from the Bank money to the amount of stock they may hold in the insti tution. As for instance, A mortgages lands to the State to the amount of 10,000 dollars, for which he holds 3tock in the Bank to the amount of 5,000 dollars, the idea Is, that A can draw from the Bank this $5,000 for which his property stands pledged. But this is altogether ideal, and wc are snre, upon a careful perusal of the bill, those holding this opinion will find that the stockhol ders can have no other privileges thau those of other citizens in an institution of this kind, and they will also find that if they draw money from the Bank they will have to give the same security and pledges as though they had not a single cent invested in the ipatKylfon. Indeed were it other- THJET GEORGIA MIRROR. wise, t.he fatal consequences to the system and country must be appur ut to all. These are some of the opinions that appear to be circulating among the people, which we be lieve should be corrected, and hope those holding them will not take our word for it, but will exam ine the subject carefully and judge for themselves. But someone, whose expectation has been rais ed to the highest pitchy aud who, without consid ering the certain and dangerous consequences of such a system about which we have just spoken, lia% i i imagination, rolled u all the luxury of wealth, with his debts all pad, and a plenty to spare, may be ready to ask, what inducement then is there for me to invest nv property in the Bank, it I may not be allowed to draw the amount lor which it stands pledged ! Wc answer, tly same as those have who cuter into the banking bu siness under the old system—that you may real ize the interest upon the amount invested. Only the inducements are much greater under the new system than they are under the old Because, un der the old system you cannot u-. the meaus which you invest iu banking 0,,1y for banking pur poses ; but under the p e vy plan a man has the use of his property just the same as if it had never been mortgaged, end also draws the interest upon it the same as other stockholders do, whu are en gaged in the business under the old systen. The advantages which the country will derive from institutions properly established and ably conducted under the new system, are incalculable aud woftld alford a theme upon which we might dwell for hours. As we have said before, we now repeat, it will enable the planting interest to stand upon lair aud equal grounds, by affording such fa cilitSes as will enable them to realize the value of their labor—it will have a tendency to do awav with this shaving machinery which is uow in such successful operation, so detrimental to the wel fare aud happiness of tho country—besides afford ing other laeilities and advantages which we mav, at another time take occasion to notice.

GEORGIA FEMALE COLLEGE This Institution seems to have opened with the most flattering prospects. During the two first weeks, one hundred and thirty-one pupils were received—Bß in the College classes, and 43 iu the primary department. The present (which is the third week) several have been received each day. Three classes ar© formed, called first, second and Junior. The Faculty deem it expedient to admit any into the Senior class until the begin ning of the collegiate year, in Oct. next. '1 he present prosperity of the College, has sur passed our most sanguine expectation, aud is we trust, but an earnest ol its future operations. The number of pupils manifests the interest which ex ists through th* State for its success. It is now very certain, that there will be more than a hun dred in the collegiate department. We feel assured, that no school iu our State affords equal advantages for the Improvement of young Ladies. The same duties which in most sellouts devo've on one cr two teachers, are here divided amonga Faculty of able and efficient In structors, some of whom are gentlemen of long experience in teaching. We are satisfied that solid instruction will not be neglected, for that which is only showy aud fashiouable. High hopes are excited in our community of' its success, and we trust are not confined to the locality ol the College. We are led to hope that it may yet be the pritie of Georgia, and a Pioneer m a system of Female Education, that here has its foundation aud origin—which system, and nothing short of which, would correspond w ith the improvements of the present age of the vvm i.l. Macon Messenger. [We live in an age of moral and political im provement, of experiments, humbugs, inventions, overreaching, refinement in roguery cheating, speculations and quackery. Among the last and most important items on these points, we find tw or three chapters in the New York Her and, showing great improvement in the four business — by which it would appear that a consid ruble portion of that indispensible article, is often man ufactured from human and other bones. Hoc. far this improvement has gone in the article ot'o..u' every day consumptions we cannot say— but cer tain it is, ’hat wo would do well to look to if: prob ably we have often gnawed a hone wfaeD we thou :ht it a crust ofbread.—-But when we consume our own domestic productions we know what we do. The following is the closing part of the articles in the Herald.] — Macon Mcsscngct. From the ( N. Y.) Morning Herald. Here, then, we see that both bread and jelly can be made of bones. Astonishing age this we live in. We can get hartshorn, brickdu*-! bread, jCly paint and manure-—all from the bones of our an cestors. What n vast field for speculation, there fore, do the grave yards of the earth afford. It would be almost worth while to go to war, for the thesakeof speculating in the bones of the . 5 .!. Should there be any doubt about the practi cability of making candles of the human corse, let us, call to mind the removal of a great num ber us human bodies from the ancient bury ing place, Des Innocens, at Paris. It was. the bury ing ground ofa large destrict, wherein successive generations of the ingraves were opened in the presence of Fourcroy the celebrated chemist, and the bodies were all (bund converted into spermaceti or what Foncrov called adipocore. The grave diggers say, it takes three years to convert a body info spermecti; but lean beef or mutton secured in a running stream may be thus converted into speimaceti in about a month. But this has noth ing to do with bones and in fact is merely given en passant, as a hint to other speculators; and with this tve take leave of the subject for the pre sent. It is a singular and an awful one; espe cially when we think of the confusion that these speculations will create on tlie resurertion mor ning when there is to be a genera) gathering to gether of all the bones that ever breathed. The squabling will be curious and the movement most astonishing. Bones will g(Kwn mixed tip as to des troy all title to property both here and hereafter. A voting girl will get hold ofthe leg of one sweet heart and the arm of another; anti one skeleton may thus lie compounded ofthe bones of a doz en different persons, so that lie wont know what uame to answer to, when he hears the roll called j over by the recording angel. But the last and most important movementtljat j will result from all this is the effect it wftthavb . upon the price of beef and flour.
