COLUMBUST GEORGIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. 19, 1853
Senatorial Election Postponed.
A letter was received this evening from the Editor
of this paper, from Milledgeville, stating that the Sena
torial election had been postponed until the next session
of the Legislature. The letter is a lengthy one, and
contains matters of interest which will appear in our
weekly.
[editorial correspondence.]
Milledgeville, Nov. 16.
SENATE.
Mr. Mostly, offered a resolution to appoint a com
mittee of one from each judicial district, to report upon
the propriety of permanently locating the capitol.
This is a question of great interest not only to the
citizens of Milledgeville, but of the whole State. Let
the question be settled. The present accomodations
are wretched, and will not be improved so long as
there is any doubt about the location of the capitol.—
There is a very general feeling among the members in
favor of removal.
Mr. Paulk, offered a bill to substitute annual sessions
of the Legislature in place of biennial, and to change
the constitution for that purpose.
Mr. Ridley, offered a bill to pardon Elijah Bird, of
DeKalb, now under sentence of death.
Mr. Sturgis, introduced a bill to incorporate a Bank,
to be located at Columbus, Ga., with a capitol stock of
$250,000, with priviledge of increasing it to $500,000,
and to be called the “Planters and Exchange Bank of
Columbus.”
The bill for the relief of Wm. Taylor, of Macon coun
ty, the bail of Harlec Barfield, was put upon its pas
sage. Messrs. Robinson, Mounger and Thomas, ad
ressed the Senate in favor of the bill, and Messrs.
Mosely and Dawson, in opposition to it. Mr. Sturgis
gave his support to the bill, on the ground that all pro
per exertions had been used by Taylor, to bring Bar
field to justice. Upon the call of ayes and nays, the
bill was passed by a vote of ayes 74, nays 21.
The Governor has given liis assent to the resolution
of the two Houses, to elect a U. S. Senator, on Friday
next.
Miscellaneous.
The election of tho State Printer and of a Superin
tendent of the State Road, have been deferred to a fu
ture day, by the action of the House of Representatives.
Your Senator and Representatives, are dilligent in
♦heir attendance upon their official duties, and are promi
nent members of the Legislature.
I have, heretofore, neglected to notice that a bill has
been ‘introduced into the House, to authorise the estab
lishment of a Lottery, for the purpose of raising SIO,OOO
to build a Masonic Hall in Columbus.
The crowd is much lessened here, and members
have some time to attend to their duties. The weather
is delightful.
We are pleased to notice among the distinguished
visitors at the capitol, Hon. Matthew Hall McAlister, of
California. He is in excellent health and spirits, and
it is reported that he still claims to be a citizen of Geor
gia. It is said that he has accumulated an immense
fortune in the western El Dorado.
Milledgeville, Nov. 17.
Senator Nominated.
Last night, a caucus was held by the Democratic
members of the Legislature to nominate a candidate
for Senator of the United States ; and we are gratified
to announce that Charles J. McDonald has been chosen
by a ninjoriiy of two-thirds of the votes east for that
position. The fight was not so hard as was anticipa
ted ; McDonald started ahead, and continued to gain
upon his competitors to. the end of the race. He is a
noble old Roman, and though not so fast as some of
his competitors, he has bottom and will always do to bet
on. His election is almost beyond [contingency, aud
though the friends of Cobb are chagrined and mortified
at his defeat, we are gratified to learn that he grace
fully submits to the decision of his party, and will give
his successful rival a hearty support. This is manly
and Democratic, and has done much to engratiate him
in the favor of the party. His time will yet come. —
There is no exultation over his defeat, and m a few
days, we anticipate a cordial re-union in every wing of
the party.

On the 6th ballot, Mr. Charlton received two and
Mr. Colquitt one vote, neither of the gentlemen were
candidates before the caucus. The election will be held
to-morrow.
Some excitement has been produced by the intro
duction yesterday, into the House, by Mr. Irwin, of
Wilkes, and, into the Senate, to-day by Mr. Pope, of
Wilkes, of a set of resolutions, setting forth the princi
ples of the Conservative party, condemning the Admin
istration of President Pieroe for alleged Free Soil ap
pointments, expressing sympathy for Daniel S, Dickin
son, and opposing the Pacific Railroad. Mr. Irwin,
made a fierce speech in favor of printing the Resolutions,
but a quietus was given the movement in the House, by
calling for the previous question, which was sustained,
and the House refused to print the Resolutions. In
the Senate, Messrs. Stephens, Pope, Mosely, Miller
and Ribley, advocated the motion to print the Resolu
tions, and Messrs. Sturgis and McGechee against it.—
The motion to print, was carried by a vote of 55 to 4.
These Resolutions were intended as a bomb shell, to
blow up the harmony of the Democratic party, and se
cure the defeat of McDonald. The object was defeat-
No devision was made by them, and no ill feeling
produced. Several democrats in the Senate, voted to
print out of courtesy to the opposition, but they all
stand firmly by the standard of the party.
Every day brings to light new bills to form new
counties, Mr. Clarke introduced a bill to organise anew
county out of Baker and Early.
Mr. Smith, of Coweta, introduced a bill to organise
anew county out of parts of Coweta, Merriwether,
Pike and Fayette.
The President of the Senate announced this morn
ing, the following committee on the “Permanent Loca
tion of the Capitol.” Messrs. Mosely, Anderson, Mil
ler, W hite, Morris, Brown, of Baldwin, Brown, of
Thomas, May, Ridley, Lambeth, Clark, Watts and
Dean.
Mr, Saftold, has introduced a bill to incorporate the
Madison and Eatonton Railroad company.
Mr. Cone, introduced a bill to change the Constitu
tion, so as to give to the people, the election of an At
torney General and Solicitors General for the several
circuits.
Mr. Jones, of Liberty, introduced a bill to change
the Constitution, so as to locate the Supreme Court at
the Capitol, also a bill to increase the terms of Judges
of the Supreme Court to 12 years, and to raise their
salaries to 3000 dollars.
Mr. Sturgis, as chairman of the Judiciary committee,
reported back the bill to abolish Surveyorship in joint
tenancy and recommended its passage.
Mr. Strickland, introduced a bill to compell owners
of lands to record their bills in the office of Clerks of
the Superior Courts.
Mr. Lyons, introduced a bill to change the time of
holding the election for Judges of the Superior Courts,
from October to December.
The Conservate party have called a caucus to-night.
We presume the object of the call is to complete their
arrangements for the Senatorial fight to-morrow. Sen
ator Dawson is still here, and will run against McDon
ald. He cannot be elected, unless some Democratic
members are faithless to their pledges.
A bill has been introduced into the House, pledging
State aid to all Railroad enterprises under certain con
ditions. There is a strong opposition among many
members to all unusual appropriations, and this bill
may fail, though many enlightened members feel the
necessity of some such Legislation. L.
A Word about the Militia Laws of Georgia.
Time and again, by various Legislative assemblies,
has our Militia system been corrected and amended,
but all to no effective purpose. It is unproductive of
any beneficial results from its very constitution. No
amendments can effect the desired ends, but the whole
must be radicaly changed. About thirty-five pages of
Cobb’s Digest, containing ond hundred and twenty-three
sections are devoted to the laws regulating the different
branches of the Militia system, and what do they ef
fect ? It is true, each county holds its established
musters, but such organizations, as at the appointed
times present themselves, were never in any other
country styled Military. The very recollections of a
militia parade, involutary begets a broad grin, and the
descriptive cronicles of the “Georgia Scenes,” supply a
faithful memoranda of its operations.
Now, it may do very well to laugh over, and afford
amusement to those who have leisure for a frolick now
and then, but there are those whose time is valuable—
who by the requisitions of the law are often put to a
great deal of ineonveniance and pecuniary loss, and to
whom there is just cause of complaint, when they
all know that the whole is one giand humbug.
Theoretically, each State must have a military organiza
tion, with laws and regulations, and proper officers to
carry it into operation ; practically, this organization
should effect the desired objects. What earthly good
we should like to know, arises from our present system ?
We have the theory ; it embodies the duties and obliga
tions of a State ; but practically, none of these are effec
ted. Then let the whole be changed. One well or
ganised volunteer company, is worth a legion of Militia.
There are a number of well disciplined volunteer
corps in the State, and they receive some little immu
nities tor the trouble and expense, to which they are put
in order to sustain themselves. But the encouragement is
not sufficient to supply the hiatus produced by our un
productive militia system, and we suggest, that the
Legislature would do the State some service, by abol
ishing the present Militia system, and effecting a volun
teer organization that would realise all public demands,
at the same time contributing to the well being of the
great body of the people. But how can this be effected ?
certainly not without taxation, which thunder stroke of
a thought, begets such a paralysis of the political nerves
of grave Legislators, that they are unable any longer to
look the subject in the face. What citizen would not
prefer paying an anual tax, of twenty-five or fifty cents,
to the trouble and inconvenience of assembling, often
times’miles from home to the neglect of business, and
sacrifice of time, in order to go through the inumery of
a Militia drill. If some suoli plan could be adopted,
the revenue collected by districts, (the tax of course to
be levied only upon those subject, by the present law
to Militia duty,) and this to be expended towards the
equipment and support of volunteer companies under
proper regulations and restrictions, and the overplus, if
any, to belong to a military fund of the State, to be ex
pended according to the wants of the service. Some
such system, of which the above is but a crude outline,
would tend to build up a body of citizen soldiery, ready
at any, and all times, to take the field well disciplined
and powerful. The body of the citizens of course still
subject to duties and obligation to be performed only
when active service might be required. Our militia
system is supposed to organise the citizens into a milita
ry body, and the drills and parades required by law,
to acquaint him with the practise, and render him
skilled in military exercises. It would be absurd to
say that it effects either of these ends. Let us have
something then that will in part, at least, result in good ;
or abolish it altogether. We hope the members ot the
Legislature will, while devising reform, turn their at
tention to the remodeling of the militia system, and for
the reputation of the State if not for the benefit of her
citizens, obviate this standing theme for mockery and
burlesque, which tends but to bring ridicule upon the
noble profession of Arms and contempt for existing
laws.
Domkstic Wine. —We were honored by Charles A.
Peabody, Esq., in company with a few friends, with an
invitation to try the quality of Longworth's Sparkling
Isabella. It proved a most delicious Wine, far superior
to four-fifths of the “imported” Champaign. It has a
good body—is pungent and sparkling, and does credit
to the successful culture which the domestic vintage
has received. Millions of this wine are now pressed
and finds its way to every part of the country.
Hen. jHiram Warner.
The following letter from the above gentleman was
received at this office on the 31st ult. The editor, be
ing uncertain whether it was written for the public
eye, wrote to inquire of Judge Warner on this point.—
The reply came in the absence of the editor, and was
forwarded to him at Milledgeville. As Judge Warner
writes that the letter of the 29th ult. was intended for
publication, we cheerfully give it a place in our columns.
Gkeentille, 27th October, 1853.
Dear Sir: —My attention has just been called to a com
munication in the Constitutionalist Republic, of the 26th
inst., in which my name is mentioned as a candidate for
Senator at the approaching session of the Legislature.—
Had my personal wishes been consulted, I should have
been spared the mortification of seeing my name published
in the newspapers, as an “aspirant” tor an office, for which
lam not a candidate, and you the trouble of writing
an article, (without pretending to question your right to do
sol discriminating between political friends who are can
didates for that office, and who have equal claims, to the
support and confidence of the Democratic party.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
HIRAM WARNER.
James Gardner, Esq., Editor Constitutionalist &, Republic,
Augusta, Ga.
President Pierce and the Sons of New Hampshii e
in Boston. —The Sons of New Hampshire in Boston,
had a grand Festival on the evening of the 2d inst.
The procession numbering 2,000, marched to titchburg
Hall, where t hey partook of an excellent dinner, after
which came the toasts, interspersed with a variety of
brief but eloquent speeches, presenting altogether a
festive gathering abounding in eminent talent, ability,
wit, and genial humor. Letters were announced from
Lewis Cass, Daniel S. Dickinson, John P. Hale, Gen.
ITpham, and a host of others. The following telle
graphio communication from the President of the Uni
ted States was read amid enthusiastic cheers :
Washington, Nov. 2.
To the Sons of New Hampshire m Boston:
The most precious treasures of memory will be brought
among you to-night, and my heart’s warmest sympathies
will mingle with yours. He who, amidst all changes ot
fortune and locality, loves bis native town, liis native
county, and his native State, can hardly fail to love his
whole country, and to revere and uphold, with steady de
votion, this glorious Union. Frank Pierce.
Ex-President Van Buren. —The statement which
has appeared, to the effect, that Martin Van Buren
had been appointed by Mr. Pierce as umpire, on behalf
of the United States, in the mixed commission assem
bling in London, to settle British and American claims,
is contradicted. The Washington Union says : “The
President has made no snch appointment, and has no
power to make one. lie has nothing to do in selecting
an umpire, but that is the business of the commissioners.
The whole story was too plain a misrepresentation to be
adoptee by the Intelligencer.
Important Changes in the U. S. Military Depart
ment. —The Washinton Star publishes an order from
the Adjutant General, abolishing the geographical di
visions of the Military Department, and substituting the
following:
Department of the East—Country cast of the Missis
sippi ; headquarters, Baltimore.
Department of the West—Country west ot the Mis
sissippi and east of the Rocky Mountaint; headquarters,
St. Louis.
Department Texas—Headquarters • Corpus Christi.
Department Mexico—Headquarters, Albuqueique.
Department of the Pacific—Country west of the
Rocky Mountains—ex Utah and New Mexico; head
quarters, San Francisco.
The order concludes: —“And the President fur
ther directs that officers of rank and experience loe
placed in command of the several Departments estab
lished.”
The Forces of Russsia. —A London correspondent
of the National Intelligencer says that a little calculation
respecting the military power of Russia makes the force
which the Czar could employ in a European war, with
out the reserve, the local garrisons, or the army in the
Caucasus being in any way reduced, to consist of 36S
battalions of infantry, 468 squadrons of cavalry, and
996 guns; or, in other words, in the eventuality of a
European war, Russia could operate with a force of
500.000 men and 1000 guns, without laying itself open
to Great Britain, Sweden, or to the Caucasus. In
case of a great tear, Russia could operate, by means of
her first, second and third reserves, and the Cossaks
and Tartar forces, with one million of combatants and
with 1800 guns. This is the estimate of a Prussian
ofticer et groat experience on the point in question.
Mules. —Seven thousand live hundred mules
have passed through one toll gate in Kentucky
on the road to Cumberland Gap this season,
destined for Georgia and South Carolina. The
mule crop this year is estimated at 33 percent
larger than usual. Prices, however, are very
high notwithstanding.
General Twiggs passed through Little
Rock on the 28th ult., on his way to Fort Smith.
He was accompanied by Dr. McCormick and
Captain Lay of bis staff.
Statue to Daniel Webster. —A letter from
Florence in the Newark Advertiser , says the
friends of Mr. Webster will be gratified to know
that Mr. Powers has received an order from
Boston for a bronze statue of the great states
man, to be placed in front of the Massachusetts
State House.
O’ The New York Herald is of opinion that
the advocates of the Maine Law will have a

’ to the Emperor of Japan will have cost about
$1,246,767 45.
OCT The cost of supporting the public pau
pers of New York, exceeds this year four hun
: dred and twenty-five thousand dollars.
| The Fisheries. —The fishing season on the
; Banks and the Northeast coast, just closed, ap
! pears to have been an unprofitable one to the
great bulk of the fishermen. The Boston Tran
script remarks:
The time for cod and mackerel fishing is now
about over, and the season has been a very hard
one for the fishermen. We are informed that
the average wages earned by the men who have
been voyagers where the hands had a share of
the profits will not be more than twenty-five
i cents a day. A few vessels have been quite
| fortunate, and we hear of one captain whose
share will be about SI6OO for the season. In
the fishing districts, there is much discussion re
specting the plans for the future. Many of those
engaged in the business will quit it, as there is
not enough profit to warrant its prosecution.
Jewish Oppression Revived. —By the late ar
rival from Europe we learn the fact that the
Austrian government has signalized itself by a
backward step in civilization. It has restored
disabilities which the barbarism of the middle
ages imposed upon the Jews, and which were
only removed by the revolution of 1848. The
Austrian government seems determined that no
benegt shall accrue to any class of its subjects
from that revolution. Hereafter, the Jews in
Austria are forbidden to hold real estate in their
own name but all property of that description
to which they lay claim, most be registered in
the name ot Christians.

O’ The New Y r ork Journal of Commerce
speaks of Southerners visiting the Northern
States :
(t No Great Loss without some Small gain. —
The recent ravages of yellow fever at the South
will have one good effect. The dispersion of
such a vast number of the Southern people over
the Northern States by which the two extremes
of the nation were brought into intimate con
nexion, and old associations revived or new ones
created, has undoubtedly done much to restore
that natural good will which existed previous to
the agitation to remove groundless prejudi
ces, and establish unanimity of sentiment on
important social and political questions. South
ern slaveholders, direct from their sunny plan
tations, have been discovered not to be the mon
sters of cruelty which Northern fanatics have
represented them to be ; and more correct in
formation respecting the condition of the South
ern slave has been disseminated over the land
than any number of Uncle Tom’s Cabins could
ever impart/’
A Noble Slag Hound. —About a month or so
ago, as the Dickinson’s Landing “Hawk Eye,”
Mr. J. Smith—accompanied by Mr. Crystler—
was hunting on the classic banks of the River
Nation, near Crystler’s Mills, his dogs pressed
close on a deer, which took to the river, where
the hunters pursued it in a canoe. On ap
proaching the animal, they were surprised to
perceive it struggling desperately, being every
now and then jerked suddenly under water.
The hunters immediately approached, and with
the aid of others at hand, dragged the deer into
the canoe, when to the astonishment of all pres
ent, a large turtle (some forty pounds in weight)
was found firmly fastned to the deer’s tail,
which would undoubtedly have been shortly
drowned by its amphibious assailant. The tur
tle retained its grip for upwards of two hours
after the deer was killed.
This extraordinary circumstance is attested
by several witnesses, says a Montreal paper.
Missisippi Cotton Crop. —The editor of the
Port Gibson Herald says: “After traveling
through forty-eight counties of this State, dur
ing the past summer, we feel prepared to say
that the cotton crop of Mississippi will fall one
third below- the crop of last year. The boll
worm and the rot have together visited every
cotton field we have seen, and the injury sustain
ed is immense.”
Shocking Tragedy. —A telegraphic dispatch,
a few days since, mentioned, in brief terms, the
murder at Louisville, Ky., of a schoolmaster,
Mr. Bulter, by one of his pupils named Ward.
Mr. Butler, it would appear, had slightly pun
ished a little brother of Ward for eating ches
nutes in school and telling a falsehoood. The
latter had gone home and given his brother his
own version of the case ; ancl he had deliberate*
ly purchashed and loaded a pair of pistols, with
which he went and shot Mr. Butler, in cold
blood, and without a word of explanation. The
N. Y. Times says:
“Ward, the principal actor in this dreadful
tragedy, is the author of a book recently pub
lished, entitled English Items, which attracted
some attention lrom the violence and coarseness
edits vituperation of every thing English. His
family is one of the first in Louisville. Miss
bailie Ward, the lady whose marriage to Col.
1 . B. Lawrence, ol Boston, some years since,
and subsequently separated from him, attracted
public attention, is his sister/’
