Mr. Jarnagin offered a resolution of thanks | toGcu. Taylor fur hid brilliant acheivement | at Monterey. Laid over. The bill for appointing a Surveyor Genen ral for Oregon was recommitted to the Judi ciary Committee. The ten regiment bill was then taken up. Many amendments were oSVred and voted upon. A few were adopted, but more reject ed, and finally, at 5 o’clock, as this despatch the bill is ordered to be engrossed,and the Senate goes for a few minutes into execu tive session. house of representatives. The motion to suspend the rules to re ceive the resolutions of thanks to Gen. Tay lor offered by Mr. Cocke, yerterday, was fr*t in order. Which are as follows; Resolved muiniuinnsly , by the Senate and He use nj Representatives of the I nite.d States ■i'l Conurces assembled, That the thanks of Congress are due, and are hereby presented to Major General Zachary Taylor, and through him to the brave officers and soldiers, both of the regular army and of the volun teers under his command, fur their courage, skill, fortitude and good conduct in storming the city of Monterey, defended as it was by a force more than double their number, and protected by the strongest fortifications, which resulted in a most brilliant victory to our army, and reflected imperishable honor upon our arms. Resolved , That the President be requested to cause to be struck a gold medal, with de vices emblematical of this splendid adieue menf, and presented to Gen. Taylor, as a tes timony of the high sense entertained by Con gress for liis judicious and distinguished con duct on that memorab'e occasion. Resolved , That the President of the United States be requested to cause the foregoing resolutions to be communicated to General Taylor, ane through him to the army under his command. There was a call of the House, and 176 members answered to their names. The motion to suspend the rules was then and carried—ayes 133, nays 28. When the result was announced, great confusion prevailed,—many members jumped from their seats at the same time, some to offer amendments and others to move to refer the resolution to the Military Committee. Mr. Farm, of Ohio, offered an amendment declaring that Mexico commenced the war, and that it was just in the United Slates lo prosecute it. Mr. Thompson, of Miss., offered an amend ment providing that nothing in the resolution should be construed into an approbation of the terms of capitulation at Monterey. This amendment was carried by yeas 116, nays 71. Mr. Gentry said the passage of the resolu tion in the shape in which it was now placed, by the adoption of the amendment, would be an insult instead of a compliment to Gen. Taylor. The Whigs generally said they would vote for no such resolutions. But the resolutions were ordered to a third reading, by a vote of 106 yeas to 64 nays, and finally passed—yeas 103, nays 62. Mr. Cocke now moved to amend the title, by substituting the word ‘'censure” (or thanks —which was rejected—yeas 1, nays 117— Mr. Cocke not voting. Mr. Thompson, of Mississippi offered a resolution to communicate to Congress, if not incompatible with the public interest, the despatches received from Gen. Taylor, Gen. Hamer, and others, which have nut been pub lished. Ashmun obtained the floor and made a very warm and anirnulid speech in defence of Gen. Taylor, against the attempts of the Administration and its supporters in Con gress to break down “Old Rough and Ready,” and in condemnation of Mr. Folk’s conduct iu the matter of his alleged intrigue with j Santa Anna! He offered an amendment, railing for the papers iu relation lo the raid intrigue. Mr. Douglass replied; defended the conduct of the Administration; pointed to the titles j which Mr. Folk has conferred upon Genera! j Taylor as evidence of the correctness of his position; and attacked the Whigs right and : left for voting a medal and thanks to General ! Taylor for his successes in an unnghtuous, wicked and unholy war? Mr. Thompson, cf Mississippi, followed and defended himself and his party, in relation to what had been said and done towards General Taylor.—He wished to call for only that part of General Taylor’s correspondence which could be published without detriment to the public interest. Mr. Woodward, of South Carolina, in a very animated manner, staled that he believed that the part of the correspondence by which General Taylor could defend himself would be the very part which it would be detriment to the public interest to publish! Mr. Thompson, who had yielded for a 1 moment to Mr. Woodward, now resumed his j remarks, bnt soon gave way to, or permitted i tc be used, a motion lo adjourn, which was j decided in the affirmative. So the House adjourned without further action on the resolutions. OFFICES? OF THE REGISTER d- JOURNAL JT Hobii.i:, Jar.. Itte/. V Terrible Catastrophe. The steamer Tuscaloosa left our wharf about 8 o’clock on Thursday evening, on i hsr war to Tuscaloosa, and after proceed- ! ing about 10 or 11 miles up the river, an expiosirm of two of her boilers look place, whish instantly killed several of the pas. senders and many of the boats crew and officers. From a passenger on board we i learn that the explosion completely tore 1 Up the boijer deck and shattered the after < part of the boat (below 1 deck j considerably ( Immediately after the explosion, such of ■ the passengers as were unhurt, set them i lelves to alleviating the suffei ing of those who were injured but not killed; while | i it the same time a portion of the saved | i vere making every possible arrangement I i o laud all od shore who could be found. * r Tiie boat after the explosion, swung to the shore and grounded, her stern remain ing nearly in the centre of the river. A line was made fast ashore from the stern, and an effort made to bring her stern ashore so as to land her passengers, but owing to her grounding these efforts were unavailable. The ladies were then ali lowered from the cabin by a rope to the lower deck, and from thence sent ashore in the yawl—all were saved unhurt. Those of the male passengers who were uninjured, saved themselves and many of the wounded, by constructing a temporary raft of loose planks, and such articles as were close at hand. On this, they reach j eel the shore in safety. On landing it was j found impossible to obtain a dry footing, !as the banks of the river overflowed. In this condition, those who were able climb ed trees. &c., where they remainek in view of the burning ruins, for about three hours, when fortunately the steamboat James H nvitt, hove in sight, and was shortly alongside the wreck, when assist anco was immediately given to all within leach. The How i t returned to the city with all of the survivors. The number of killed and wounded has not as yet been asce.’tained, but it is feared that of the former there are not less than twenty; and of the latter a like number. The body of Lt. Inge, was on board, and was lost. Since the above was in type, we have learned the names of the following per sons, killed and wounded. Killed—Wm. Tanneyhill, C. Chiles and F. F. Bcasly, of Eutaw; \V. R. I fas sel, of Greensboro; Blue Pastier, second clerk; Clark, Ist mate, and Arthur McCoy, 2d engineer; Abraham Flynn, volunteer from Green co.—and several negro deck hands.

We doubt not that the Polomac and On ka-liy-e took advantage of the recent change in the i weatiler, and are now at sea: Pensacola, Jan. 24, 1347. Gentlemen —News is scarce. The U. i S. frigate Potomac, Capt. Aulick, will go ; to sea to day, provided the fog away. The following officers go out in her as passengers, to report to Com. Con ner for dmy: Lieut. A. S. Baldwin, Lieut. Rodgers, Lieut. J. S. Biddle, Lieut. Griffin, Passed Midshipman R. M. Cuvier, and Passed Midshipman John S. Taylor. Yesterday J. Parker Norris, of the navy, now bearer of despatches to Com. Stockton, arrived in town. Major VV. W. Rich, paymaster in the LI. S. Army, also arrived here from Mobile. Mr. Norris and Maj. Rich are to take passage in the U. S. schooner On-ka-hy-e for Cha gres. Major Rich goes out, I suppose, to pay the troops unde- Gen. Kearny. W. R. Hutton and J. D.

A letter has been received here from a gentleman in Havana, who has access t ■ the best sources of information in Mexi co. He writes that Santa Anna was at San Louis Pofosi as late as the 24th De cember, and had no thought of an imme diate hostile movement. lie confirms what has been said o i Valencia command ing a strong division at Tula. The most interesting fact announced in Ids letter is the arrival at the city of Mexico, just before the departure of the British courier for the steamer, of an tx press ftoai San Luis, will* a demand of ..■maCKTir Santa Anna upon the new Congress for a loan of $3,000,000. The writer suggests that the general supposition was that this amount could only be raised by seizing upon the property of the clergy—that it was the only possible resource left. Jefi'ci Koa’f Prophecy. The following extract from a letter written by Mr. Jefferson; in 1776, will tell just now: Our confederacy must be viewed as the nest, from which all America, North and South, is to he peopled. We should take care, too, not to think it for the in terest ol that great continent, to press 100 soon on the Spaniards. These countries cannot be in better hands. My fear is, that they are too feeble to hold them till our population can bo sufficiently ad vanced to gain it from them piece by piece.

This truly patriotic sentiment which heads ! a call in our paper for volunteers to serve in Mexico, has appealed successfully to the , manly hearts of many ot our gallant citizens. We are pleased to learn that a large nuin her have already enrolled their names. Old ; Richmond has in times past responded hand somely to her country’s call, when the mar -1 tia! drum beat summoned to arms.

Mr, Lover. i This evening,for the fust and only time,Mr. 1 j Lover—the famous author ot Handy Andy, 1 j Rory O’More, and other choice Morceaux of I polite literature, Mr. Lover, the humourist I j the wit —the poet —the musician—the accom | plished vocalist—the graphic delineator oi , ! Irish character,and inimitable story teller,will i make his appearance before our citizens, a! the Masonic Hall. We presume every body 1 will go, of course, and the evening’s enter ’ tainment will long be remembered by his au > dilors as among the nodes ambrosianae of . Jife. Seldom do we see united in the same 1 person such a variety of accomplishments. His versatility is more remarkable than his excellence in any one particular. But the combined attractions of his powers form an entertainment not ofien equalled. Mr. Lov er comes to this country commended as a gentleman in the most refined sense of the term, and we therefore bespeak for this choice specimen from “The first flower of the ocean, and first gem of the sea,” a full house and a warm welcome. Mr. Amleraaa’s I.ast Nigh?. The Lady of Lyons, and Taming of the Shrew are performed this evening at toe Theatre. This is an unusually attractive bill of fare. Mr. Anderson appears in both pieces. He has been highly complimented by the dis tinguished author ot the Lady of Lyons upon his felicitous personation ol Claude Melnotte. This fact ought to secure for him the appro bation of the most fastidious critics. Ho will be well supported by Mrs. Forbes, as Pauline, Mrs. McLean as Mad. Dc Shap* elles, and by Wolfe, as Col. Dumas. We anticipate something rich fiora the Comedy of Taming of the Shrew, as Mr. An derson personates Petruchio.and Mrs.McLean Catharine. Their fine performance of Duke Aranza and Juliana in the Honey Monn is an assurance that in this favorite comedy of Shakspeare, so similar both in incident and moral, they will afford a rich entertainment. Mr. Cushing has accepted the appointment of Colonel of the Regiment which has been raised in Massachusetts lor the Mexican war. On the Bth of January, the Democrats in the Missouri Legislature, held a meeting in the capitol at Jefferson city, and adopted resolution recommending a national con vention, to be held in Baltimore, on the first Monday in May, ]B4S to nominate a Presi dent and Vice President of the United Stales. Hon. Thomas Hart Benton was recommended by the meeting to the democracy of the nation, as a proper candidate for the next President. It has been decided by the Superior Court of New York that goods to be shipped coast wise, do not pass from the control of the jobber till a bill of lading is delivered, though they may have been put on beard of a vessel to order.

Justus we were going to press we learn that a squall, which passed over the city about 12 o’clock to-day, did much damage to-lhe shipping moored at the Levee of the Third Municipality. Those laying alongside each other having their bul warks stove and sides much injured. Eight or nine large vessels moored at the foot of Esplanade street, and in that vicinity, broke their hawsers, we under stand, and went adrift. Some of them were arrested in their progress down the river by coming in collission with vessels at the Levee, and the others were stop ped by heaving out their anchors. Since the above was in type we learn that the British ships Independence, Oar lolte, Harrison, Queen Pomare, New York packet, French'ship L’Andelle, and ship Henry Gardiner, are those which broke loose from their moorings and lost bowsprits, monkey rails, and were oth erwiseseriously injured. All the vessels lying at their moorings in the Second Municipality are more or less injured, some with the loss of bows prits, yardarms, etc. The six vessels mentioned above are all lying in a very dangerous situation. The sea is running very high in the river, although the rain is pouring pown in torrents. DCr* Statement of the business of the Georgia Rail Road during the week ending Saturday, January 30, 1817.

REMARKS.—In laying before the public this number of our letter sheet Prices Current, we have done so, under some lit tie disadvantage, which we hope soon to overcome. Our Export table is dif ferent from any other published in the Union, and gives,ataglance,the exports from the different ports in this country to all the different foreign ports; as also the coastwise exports from the principal re ceiving ports. Our New York table is not as full fur 1815-6 as we could wish to give it, the neces sary files not being at hand, and the price curren t of that city not giving the exports of last year in de tail compared with this, we have been compelled, and will be for some time to come, to give only the aggregate shipments to Great Britain, France and other Foreign ports. We shall use every exertion to have our table correct, and hope to meet the sup. port of the commercial community. By a reference to our table of receipts, shipments and stock, it w ill be seen that the receipts at Au gusta and Hamburg exceed those of last year 70,- 431 bales, the shipments, 80,749, while the stock) on hand is decreased 6,317 bales. Os the ship- I ments, 52,152 bales have been sent to Savannah, , 2,965 by boats via Savannah to Charleston, and 70,675 direct by Rail Road to Charleston. The re ceipts at all the ports up to the latest dates received sum up 972,527 bales, against 929,726 up to the same period last year—showing an excess in receipts so far 0f42,801 bales. ll<>w they will bold out at the end of tire season, is a question that remains to he solved—the genera! opinion seems to be that in the course of a month or two, the failing off in the Gulf port**, will more than counterbalance the in creased receipts in the Atlantic ports. The stock held on hand at the latest dates, amounts to 558,- 712 bales against 140,430 same period last year, showing an increase of 118,230 bales. Os the ex ports to Foreign ports, there is a decrease this year of 120,533 bales to Great Britain, 1,733 to France and an increase of 24,908 bales to other Foreign ports. The increase in the shipments coastwise is 41,955 hales. COTTON.—Our last review left the market at a stand, both buyers and sellers anxiously awaiting the advices per Hibernia, daily expected. On Thursday afternoon her advices came to hand per telegraph, and being ofa very favorable character, much more so than was looked for, showing an ad vance of 1 a Id. per lb. in Georgia descriptions? our market opened on Friday morning in a very un settled state, holders advancing their asking prices fully i cent, and although there was some looking about,purchasers, generally showed but little dispo sition to operate until their letters came to hand— some few sales, 800 a 1000 bales, in smalljlots, were taken at the above advance during the day. On Friday the northern mail failed, which left the market on Saturday much in the same state as on Friday, with about the same amount of business transacted, holders gradually stiffening in their de' mands. On Saturday the mail with the letters came to hand, more than confirming the telegraph ic advices, and our market opened on Monday with a fair enquiry and sales to some extent, which con tinued up to the closing of our enquiries, holders generally advancing their rates until they have been able to realize on the prices paid last Wed nesday, full one cent per lb. on all qualities—and at this advance the market rloicd last evening very ■ EXCHANGE.

The merchants , in the interior find it to their interest lo deal here, . and they can do so safety, fur there is no city j in the L nioii w here tue merchants are more enter prising than Augusta. ’1 hey always keep on hand good and well assorted stocks, it is better for ilu-m, in numerous cases, to sell tiieit good.-, at a sacrifice than to re ship them; hence frequent opportunities offer in this market, to purchase particular descrip, lions of goods, cheaper than in Savannah, Charles ton, or even in New York. CORN—This article has an upward tendency, and ales were made, yesterday, by the wagon load at 62 cents per bushel. FLOUR —The supply on hand is fully equal to the demand, and country Flour is daily taking ih» place of northern. Sales have been reported to u* this week 0f95 bids. Georgia at $5 per bbl. weight —Judders are now asking mure. BAGGING —The stock on hand is good, but mostly in few bauds. A lot of ICO pieces Kentucky has been sold this week but we did not learn lha price. Os Bale Rope the stock is light—Kentucky is selling at 6 and Manilla at 8i cents per lb. COFFEE—Good stock on band, particularly of Rio, which is selling at 81 a BJc. per lb. SALT—Has been sold this week in sacks from wharf at $1,30 per sack. Loose is worth from 35 to 40 cents —retailing from stores at 45c. per bushel- MOLASSES —Fair supply on hand. New Or leans is held at 36 a 3T§, and new crop Cuba at 2Cc. per gallon. SUGAR—The market is bare of all descriptions, except New Orleans, and the supply of that is limited. Trices for all kinds have an upward tendency. THE RIVER—Is in excellent boating condition, the water being up to the lower wharves; and thero is every prospect of its remaining so for some time to come. In regard to Freights, we have no change to notice, and continue to quote to Savannah by boats 75c. per bale, to Charleston by Rail Hoad sl.
