ATLANTA, F EBRUARY 28, 1856. .
It becomes, this morning, our melancholy du
ty to announce the death of a much esteemed
fellow-citizen, Mr. Wm. J. Masters, who de
parted this life at San Francisco, California.on
the 12th ultimo.
Mr. Master’s was a native of Henry county,
in this State, and moved to this City some
three or four years since, being actively engaged
in business here, and well known to the com
munity as a reliable merchant, scrupulously
honest in his dealings, not exacting, but rather
allowing his native kindness of heart to apolo
• gize for the shortcomings of his fellow man.—
But it is not as a business man we have to speak
of Mr. Master’s, (though in that respect he
was a model for the emulation of all young
men.) It was in his social relations he shone
brightest. There indeed he had attained an
eminence won by few, in this cold world of ours
and there was he surrounded by a circle of warm
hearts whose purest affections were attracted to
him as their common centre. All that is high
toned, honorable, and accomplished in a gentle
man was he, and all that is good and true in a
friend found in his heart a natural home ; and
there are few whose memories are so closely
intertwined with the pleasant associations of
the past of a community as the subject of this
notice—few who have won, and so deservedly,
so universal an esteem. It will be long ere Mr.
Master’s is forgotten by our people, or those
elsewhere who were so fortunate as to make his
acquaintance. Truly has a friend said of him
“to know him at all was to love him,” for he
certainly embodied a rare combination of love
able qualities—qualities which, by a sort of
magnetic attraction, imperceptibly drew around
ami attached to him every heart that apprecia
ted true nobility of soul, and pure sincerity of
friendship. But eulogy from us is a work of
supererogation since every heart that once fel
the magic of his influence, has'written upon it, in
never fading characters, the whole catalogue of
his virtues, to be referred to at eight of every
familiar place once brightened by his presence-
The disease which removed our friend from
us was consumption, which he contracted in
New York in February, of last year. With a
hope to arrest the progress of the disease, he
sought a milder climate, and in October he vis
ited Nicarauga for relief from the unrelenting
grasp of his destroyer. But the balmy winter
of the HoutJi could not relax that grasp, and in
January ho proceeded to San Francisco, where
after a short time his exhausted frame sank t 0
the grave, and bis weary spirit was released by
neath. We believe Mr. Masters was not at
tached to any particular denomination of the
Christian Church, but we ourselves know that
he entertained the most profound respect for
religion and its votaries, and was a regular and at
tentive attendant of divine service, a practrice
he commenced in early life and kept up scrupu
lously to the time of his decease. Over our en.
tire community a gloom is cast by the intelli
gence of his death, and to the young men of our
place the announcement is particularly sadden
ing. They feel bitterly his loss, and will al
ways keep fresh his memory in their hearts.
Mr. Pierce and the Opposition Press.
The altered tone of the opposition press, in
its comments upon the President’s Message
nrny or may not be it subject, of congratulation
with the Democratic party, in just the degree
that its commendations are sincere, or the re
sult of traditional hatred of tho party and its
policy. From indications which we find iti the
columns of several opposition papers, wo are
di posed to believe, that had the Democratic
press taken u decided stand for Mr. Pierce for
the nomination to be made in Cincinnati, not
a mother’s son of tliese opposition editors would
have found might in his recent able message to
commend. They are pretended Pierce incn
only because there is a possibility of exciting
division in the Democratic ranks by insisting
upon his nomination by the approaching con.
ventfcm. Hence we find many of them taunt,
iugly enquiring of Southern Democrats why
they do not “stand up to” a man who has
proven himself so acceptable to the South?—
Had the Democratic parly no other work on
hand hut tho row. riling its derserving men.
such it question might, with some show of con
sistency, be tisked, but when it is remembered
that upon the action of the Cincinnati Conven
liuu—the men and measures it presents th
country—hangs the only hope of the permanen'
cy of this government, ami its restoration to
the eunfitlenee of the Southern people, the sola
tion of the question is easy and, to the unprejti
diced, Hitwfaetory—the reason for the non-com
mittal policy of tho Southern Democracy is
good and sufficient. The esteem iu which Mr.
Pierce .is universally held by the genuine De
mocracy, North and Sontli, is not a whit less
than these new-born admirers of his course,
nnd it is highly probable the party they de
nominate as so ungrateful and incouaistent will
yet put to the test the sincerity of tha new al
lies of the Administration.
Setting aside the rather significant fact that
these very men who now declaim so loudly
against the refusal of the Democratic party to
declare for Mr. Pierce, or any other man, were
once his bitterest and most uncompromising
revilers, anti that their conversion was ns speedy
(but of more questionable geuuinECSs) as the
spirit struck Paul, it seems to us to be indeli
cate in these new allies to dictate to the party
the action it must take, and we strongly sus
pect that beneath this zealous acti.ity for Mr.
Pierce tl-.ere runs an undercurrent of malice not
entirely consistent with their loud expressions
el confidence iu him. To our minds, the tail
of tlie seqtent is visible, though his fangs are
hidden by their liyjxicritieal professions of re
gard fin* tlie President. Could they, by any
P'ssdidity, sew tlie seeds of dissention incur
racks, excite Mr. Pierces more immediate
frivt <ls to mnimur at the impartial basis of the
Goutention. these editors would accomplish
one of the ruling objects ts their political cxis.
tefcce —the unnoytmee of their ancestral foe.—
But, tv* vrutvlv for tlie country, the genuine
national D. uv ..-tey was n-. ver more harmoni
ous. aud t‘ cft i,inis us the difieraut (spirants,
and the aspirants themselves, will heartily in
dorse the action of tlie Convention. no matter
upon whom the choice falls, so be is qualified
and sound. Georgia may have her preference
Virginia hers, and s o with all the other States,
but individual preferences will, in the Conveti
tion, give way for the general good; and we- d o
not hesitate to say, so far as we are concerned
that we are prepared to support the nominee of
the Convention, no matter who he is, having
every confidence iu the wisdom and discretion
which shall direct the choice. We have pre
ferences, and believe the man of our choice is
the man for the times; but Georgia has left her
delegates free to act as the circumstances of the
case «nay require, and we being delegates to
the Convention appointing them, and approv.
ing its action, feel that t urge upon them any
particular man would be improper. I leuce the
reason wc have not indicated our preference; and
a great majority of Democratic editors South
are similarly situated. Is it singular or incon
sistent, or indicative of want of confidence in
Mr. Pierce, or any any other man, that we do
not, in advance of Convention, run up a name
at our mast head? We think not.
Kansas Affairs.
The Washington Union does not apprehend
any serious results from the unsettled state of
Kansas affairs. In a recent article, comment
ing upon the documents relating to those affaire,
communicated to the U.S. Senate by the Pres
ident, the Union says:
“ Although as appears from these documents,
orders have been given to Col. Summer and Maj.
Cooke to act, if necessity requires it, we confident
ly believe that no such necessity will occur, and
and that rve shall now sec in Kansas the same
peaceful and tranquil prosperity which exists in
the sister Territory of Nebraska.”
The Union is well informed upon the subject, ■
and its judgment is more reliable, perhaps, than i
any other journal ia the country ; yet we must
confess, even in view of the hopeful tone of the
extract, we camlot but look ominously upon
Kansas affairs, utid apprehend th- direst conse
quences of civil war from the proceedings of all
parties in that Territory. We are prepared to
admit there is much exaggeration in the news 1
paper reports that reach us. but there is much -
semblance of truth in tho various reports to
excite the fears of even the most sauguiw. All
the reports, emanating from both parties, agree
as 1.0 tho main facts of preparation for hostili
ties, and the general intense excitement of the
people, and with these before us, we cannot es
cape the conviction that there will he bloody
work before a great while in the Territory.—
All who are in the least familiar with the mixed
and desperate character of the population there,
and the exciting nature of the question {rending
between the diflerent parties, the means used by
the abolitionists to secure their end, and the
extreme measures into which they have driven
the pro-slavery men, must tremble for the con
sequences of a collision, which may cccur at
any moment, and which will result in one of
the bloodiest civil wars recorded iu the world's
history. Every possible precautionary mens
ure has been adopted by the general Govern
ment, and the difference between the Union and
ourselves is the estimate we each place upon
the efficiency of those measures to prevent the
consequences wc equally deplore. The question
is one of too vital and general interest, and has
been too long in agitation to be settled and
soothed by the presence of an armed soldiery.
Abolitionism, in the furtherance of its grand
scheme of surrounding slavery with a corodon
of free States, has hit upon Kansas as the only
available step towards the accomplishment of
that infamous design, and having bent its eve
ry energy to gaining it, with the hope ofcrush
ing out slavery through its medium, will not re
linquish its nefarious scheme without a despe
rate struggle; and the pro-slavery men, goaded
to desperation by the long course of encroach
ment and insult of this damnable horde of trai
tors to tho constitution, and their fresh repeat
ed insults and injuries in the Territory, are
roused to a pitch of indignation which, when
it once finds a channel of outlet, will sweep ev
erything before it in that madness to which it
has been driven by those who will become ils
victims, despite any governmental interference
that can by made.
None would deplore more than onrselves, re
sistance to the law, or would hesitate more to
encourage the mob spirit that is daily develop
ing itself in the Territory; yet the real cause of
strife is one over wbi< b tbi- government has no
control, ai d if we do not counsel resistance to
its interference in such peculiar situations at
our friends itt Kansas occupy, we will at leas
act as apologists for them, if their holy z.'al for
the great cause of the South does, in a hand to
hand conflict with her natural'enemies, induce
them in some respects, to disregard the man
dates of an authority, which, front its very na
ture, eunnot discriminate between tho right and
the wrong in such a conflict, and which, no
matter which way its sympathies lean, must re
gard both parties us outlawed. It is to bo de
p’ored that friends of the South are so situated,
but upon tl«-fanatics nf the North rests the re
ponsibility of the consequences.* The South
has yield'd and compronfsed until her honor
and her in let cats ure without protection save in
the virtue of her own arms. The Constitution
which stood 1s t w ell her and her foes has b.en
ruthlessly thrust aside, and she stands alone, de
fended only by her own might. Could the
General Goverumrnt go into an investigation of
the matter, and convict and bring to judgment
the real aggresaers—eonld it go back to the in
ception of the infernal plot to crush out the
institution of slavery, and tracing it up to its
present advanced stage, visit upon the origina
tors of this disturbance the reward line their
infamy, it would be well for the country, and
the governmental interference. which the I'nion
regards as so efficacious, might result in the
happy settlement of the difficulties i would
have us hope for. But the powers of the gov
ernment are not judicial, but executive, and it
must punish all violators of the law alike,
whether their viol >•’ 's wilful, or wlw ther they
have been driven t defence of their lives,
their property, or t r onor. Hence, we say
we cannot look a- ■ •pefully to the future
of Kansas as the .’.two u.'.iis to.
We will not, ot ■ 'Understood as coun
seling resistance Nothing is fur.
ther from our iuteu 7 .: from what we know •
of Kansas men. wcrim be surprised if such
a consequence does no, i osue from the interfer
ence of the General Government, after the war
has actually commenced, between the bellige
rents- Goil save the country from such a state
of things.
We nave said this lunch, in onler that our
readers may not infer from our silent publica-1
tion of the Union's article, in a late issue, that i
we endorse the hopeful asjxct of Kansas affairs 1
it presents. We wonld not lie alarmists ; but
we cannot see dangers covered ever by what ve
consider insecure concealments, and we wou'd
warn the Southern people that their friends in I
Kansas are in two-fold danger—danger from
the abolitionist's Sharp's rifle,and in danger of,
being driven to resist the interference of the
General Government. The situation should be
matter of thoughtfal reflection for every South
eramao.
[From the Kansas Herald ]
George W. McLane, Esq.
This gentleman will atari on a tour through
the Southern States, for the purpose of increas
ing the circulation of the “Kansas Herald,”
and posting up our friends on the position of
affairs in Kansas. He is fully endorsed by the
pro slavery party of Kansas as a reliable gen
tleman, in whose statements implicit confidence
can be placed. He is a highly intelligent, hon
orable, frank and affable gentleman. As such
we commend him to the people of the South,
and of the whole Union, and hope be will meet
with a warm and cordial reception wherever he
may go. To those who want a sound, reliable
pro-slavery paper, it is perhaps needless for us
to sny, that tho Kansas Herald is of that char
acter. It. will recommend itSelf wherever seen
and read. Il is the oldest paper in the Terri
tory, and published at one of the raos accessi
ble poiuts for news. Everyman who desires
to be “ posted up" in all the news from Kan
sas, will subscribe for the Herald. Our whole
energies are devoted to the making Kansas a
slave State. I f each man who feels an interest
in tnis question, will give §2.00 and get a good
pajier for a year, they will be benefitted, and
wc will be enabled the better to stand up and
battle for Southern rights.
The pro shivery party of this Territory, feel
ing a deep and abiding interest in the great
crisis that is now approaching, have held a meet
ing in this place, and make the following appeal
to the South. Read proceedings of the meeting
which follows :
Pro-Slavery Meeting.—At a large and en
thusiastic meeting of the pro-slavery party of
the Territory of Kansas, held at the city of
Leavenworth, on Saturday, Feb. 2d, 1856, the
following preamble and resolutions were unani
mously adopted, viz :
Whereas. It has become evident from the
recent and continued acts of the Abolitionists
of this Territory, both at home and abroad, that,
the Pro-slavery party of Kansas Territory
deem it their duty to repel the charges which
the Abolitionists are endeavoring to promul
gate against them, and whereas the Abolition
ists of this Territory have bid defiance to the
Territorial laws, have had mock elections ia
portions of this Territory, and have proclaimed
hat their Gov-rument will go into operation
on the 4th day of March, A. D. 1856. And
whereas, the “Hired Minions” of the “Abolition
Aid Society of Massachusetts” have been lec
turing on the affairs of Kansas in ti.c Northern
states, and appealing to the baser passions of
their co laborers, and sympathies. And where,
as, such acts as they are, and have been coni
mitting, are treasonable, and we believing that
such traitors should I to a traitor’s
doom. Therefore, be it. resolved unanimously,
by the Pro slavery party of Kansas Territory,
in Mass Meeting assembled, that Col. George
W. McLane, be requested to visit the Southern
States, and present the “real state of affairs"
that exist in this Territory to the people of the
South, and urge upon them the necessity of em
igration to this Territory, and thereby save it
from passing into the hands of those who have
nothing but their “own abominable ends to jus
tify.”
Resolved further, That wo commend to the
People and the Press of the South, our Fellow-
Citizen Col. George W. McLane, in whom can
be placed the utmost reliance.
Resolved further, That we admire and indorse
the course pursued by t e “Kansas Weekly
Herald" (the pioneer paper of the Territory),
in promulgating the “SOUTHERN STATES
RIGHTS” doctrine in this Territory, and com
mend it to the people of the South as a relia
ble Pro-slavery paper, and which should be
sustained, as its fearless editor Gen. L. J. East
in, in the Council of the Legislature, and through
his columns has been uncompromising in his
zeal for the triumph of the cause of the Pro
slavery party of this Territory.
Resolved furth r, That the newspapers gen
erally, be requested to copy this Preamble and
Resolutions.
A. RUSSEL, President.

The Kansas Movement in Boston.
The following extract from a Boston letter
to the New York Tribune will exhibit the
firmness with which the people of that section
reason in regard to the struggle now going on
in Kansas, and the zeal with which they nour
ish the incipient rebellion which threatens to
involve and destroy the Union.
Boston Friday, Feb. 15,1856.—The private
intelligence received here from Massachusetts
men settled in Kansas causes great anxiety, not
only because of the severe sufferings of the
settlers, but from an impression that civil war
is really close at hand. If the Slaveholders
persist in their attempt to subjugate Kansas,
it will be clearly the duty ot the free States to
arm in their own defence. They cannot be ex
pect' d to stand tamely passive while their
brethren are overwhelmed and butchered by
pro-slavery Ruffians. If freedom is to be forci
bly suppressed this year in Kansas, it may be
forcibly next year in Ohio or Pennsylvania. If
the question as to whether Slavery or Freedom
shall dominate in this Republic is to be settled
on the battlefield, it may as well be decided
now as at any time.
It is not likely that there will ever be a bitter
ground than Kansas for fighting out the quar
rel.—So far as Now England is concerned,
there can 1 e no question that she is ready to
meet the issue with her ancient spirit and firm
ness. A few retainers of the President, Cus
tom Houses and Post office officials, howl and
whine about “dissolution,” “ treason',” and “abo
lition,” but they do not in the least influence
public opinion and whenever the time for ac
tion arrives they will subside into silent insig
nificance. Meantime, a very active movement
is going on to raise money and arms for the free
State men in Kansas. I hear of several in
stances of large coutributions-in oue case. 85.-

War Department, i
Tla.i/reigton, February 15. 1856. (
Sib: The President has, by {'reclamation,
warned all persons combined for insurrection or
invasive aggression against the organiz' d Gov
ernment ot the Territory of Kansas,or associa
ted to resist the due execution of the lawless
proceedings ; and has commanded them to dis
perse, and retire peaceably to their respective
abodes, on pain of being resisted by his whole
constitutional power. If. therefore, the Gov
ernor of the Territory, finding the powers vested
in United States Marshals inadequate for the
suppresmiou of irsurreetionaiy combinations or
armeil resistance to the execution of the law,
should make requisition upon you to furnish a
military force to aid him in the performance of
that official duty, you are hereby directed to
employ for that purpose such part of your com
mand as may in your judgment consistently bo
detached from their ordinary duty.
In executing this delicate function of the mil
itary jiowcr of the United States, you will ex
ercise much caution to avoid, if possible, colli
sion even with insurgent citizens, and will en
deavor to suppress resistance to the laws and
constituted authorities by that moral force which
happily, in our country, is ordinarily sufficient
to secure respect to the laws of the land and the
regular constituted authorities of the Govern
ment. You will use a sound discretion as to
the moment at which the further employment
of the military force may be discontinued, and
avail yourself of the first opportunity to return
with your command to the more grateful and
prouder service of the soldier, that of commo i
defence.
For your guidance in the premises, you are
referred to the acts of 28th Feb. 1795. and 3d
March, 1807, (see Military Laws, pages 301
and 132,] and to the proclamation of the Pres
ident, a copy of which is herewith transmitted.
Should you need farther or more specific in- |
struetious. or should, in the progress of events,
doubts, arise in you mind as to the course
which it may be proner for you to pursue, you
wiil communicate directly with this Depart
ment, stating the points upon which you wish,
to be informed.
Very respectfully, jour obedient sent ,

HOUSE.
Milledgeville, Feb. 19.
Upon the reading of the journals, Mr. Jones
of Muscogee moved to reconsider the action
of the House upon the Atlantic & Gulf Rail
road bill.
Messrs. Jones, Harris of Fulton, Lawton,
Smith of Union, Wood of Fannin, and Terhune,
supported the motion ; and Messrs. Phillips,
Cannon and Pickett opposed.
The bill was reconsidered on a vote of ayes
74, nays 53, and referred back to the Joint
Committee.
State aid in any shape will not, I think, be
extended to any single project. A combination
of interests may succeed, but even this is doubt
ful.
BILLS ON THEIR PASSAOK.
Bill for the relief of W. 11. Clark, of Camden

By general consent. Mr. Lewis, of Hancock,
introduced a bill to unite the offices of Secreta
ry of State and Surveyor-General.
FEDERAL RELATIONS.
The Committee on the State of the Republic
reported to day a bill aathoriziug the Governor
to call a Convention of the people upon the hap
pening of uny of the contingencies enumerated
in the celebrated “fourth resolution" of the Geor
gia Platform. 100 copies of the report and-bill
were ordered to be printed. A similar bill was
also introduced in the Senate.
The bill for the appropriation of money for
the removal of the “Knoll” from the Savannah
river was taken np last night, on its third rea
ding. and referred to a’ select committee, of
which Col. Ijiwton is chairman.
Senate.
Mr. Spalding, of Mclntosh, moved the re-con
sideration of the bill providing for the sale of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad. He did so
for the purpose of reply to the arguments of the
gentleman (Mr. Buchanan) from Coweta.
At the close of his very able speech yesterday
against the bill, Mr. Buchanan threw down the
gauntlet to the friends and advocates of sale.—
But whether they were willing and able to re
ply could not be seen yesterday, for one of
themselves called the “previous question,” thus
cutting off all fwther debate.
This I take to be a decided compliment to
Mr. Buchanan upon his speech. A few more
of such truncheon blows, and the whole scheme
would be scattered to the winds. They felt this;
there was decided weakness in their knees, and
they stopped the coming disaster to their hopes
by the call of the “previous question,” thus
stifling discussion.
Messrs. Buchanan, Dabney, McMillan and
Welborn, advocated re-consideration, and
Messrs. Peeples and Hardeman opposed. The
motion was lost. Ayes 44, nays 55.

relates to the bill lost, for the relief of widows !
whose husbands die intestate. Mr. Fambro.in •
support of bis motion, expatiated upon the ex

carried
The Senate also reconsidered the action rein- !
ting to the bill changing the comity line be
tween Camden aud Glynn. The bill was taken
up for immediate consideration, put to the Sen
ate and lost.
We hnd hoped to be able to chronicle this
morning, the almost unexampled uon-occurettce,
in the annals of this General Assembly, of any
reconsideration, but our hope was too mon
strous lobe realized. Wheneversucb an anom
alons non-tranzaction shall take place, it shall j
be duly notice], and your readers informed of I
the same.
The report of the committee on th' state!
n>ad was rend this morning. It is a fair state-!
ment of all facts. «n impartial examination ofj
evidence, and a complete refutation of the!
charges brought against the agents of the road I
—satisfactorily proving tlie falsity of the al-!
leged mismanagement : and after summing up ;
the testimony. at,d the argument pro and con. I
gives a judgment unqualified in its commends-:
tion upon the superinteiidence and management
of this road. It is exceedingly lengthy, and
five hundred copies are ordered to be printed.
Mr. Murphy, of DeKalb, stated that Dr.
Hill, of Troup.’ chairman of the committee on
the part of the House, had ag.eed to the report,
in everything relating to the management of
the road, but had not agreed to that part of the
report relative to the charges against the offi
cers of said road, cd making political discrimi
nation. and showing favoritism, .fcc. Tluit, in
consequence of the absence of Dr. Hill, the ie i
port had been delayed, aud he had not been
able to confer with him. since the comp etion of!
the report, relative to taoee charges, and was I
not able to say what course he would pursue on !
that part of the report. He deemed it due to i
Dr. Hilt to make this statement.
A resolution was offered by Dr. Swinney. I
but not adopted, to adjourn until 10 o'clock to- 1
morrow morning, as a mark of respect to this t
day—the Mmversry of the day wbec George t
Washington, the father of his country, was
born. One gentleman said that he intended to,
wear mourning for the desecration of this mem
orable day. If there is anything that tends to
the perpetuation of tha principles of our Re
public, and the undying vitality of the spirit
that animated our ancestors in the Revolution,
to the unceasing recollect on of their struggles
for their rights and ours, and a consequent grat
itude on the part of the present generation, by
preserving those rights by wise and prudent
legislation, and actiu as become the citizens of
freedom, it is the strict observance of the cele
bration of those days and those events, which
bring vividly to the mind the infancy of our
country. And the spirit that would lead us to
ignore these yearly commemorations of epochs
in our country's history, is desecration indeed.
It must be taken into consideration, however,
that the Legislature is governed by motives of

BILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE.
A House bill appropriating 8110,000 to the
Lunatic Anyhim, 855,000 annually for the
years 1856, and ’59. Passed.
The following protest was entered against
the Commissioners having the expenditure of
the last appropriation.
The undersigned feeling that it is duty of the
present Legislature, to rebuke the unwarranta
ble assumption of power by those to whom was
committed the duty of carrying out the recom
mendations of the la t General Assembly, in
reference to the enlargement of the buildings of
the Lunatic Asylum—yet not being willing to
visit upon those nuforlunate persons, who have
been sorely afflicted by a kind of Providence-the
misdeeds of those who have violated the trust
reposed in them, by a confiding General As
sembly-—votes fir the bill upon your taole un
der this protest of censure upon those, who
have without warrat of Law aud contrary to
the expressed provisions of the statute vesting
them with this brief authority, and limiting the
amount to be expended in the erection of these
additional accommodations, forced the present
Legislature to make thia additional appropria
tions to prevent a total loss to the Slate of the
amount appropriated by the last General As
sembly.
A bill for the protection of the rights of
married women. This is the bill of the lamen
ted An grew J. Miller, of Richmond, which
has been introduced and lost so many times.
The bill is ordered to be printed.
A bill ilefining the jurisdiction of Ordinary’s
Courts. Passed.
A bill to provide for the calling of a Conven
tion of the people of this State to prescribe the
number of delegates and the mode and manner
of their o ection aud their duties, and to fix the
time and place of meeting of said Convention,
&c. The object of the Convention is to revise i
and amend the present Constitution of the State
or to make a new Constitution for the Govern
ment of people in the State. The Constitution I
thus diawn up is to be submitted to tho people,
who shall vote “ratification, or no ratification."
A short discussion occurred, upon Mr. Dcx
nagan, of Hall, calling in question the consti
tutionality of the bill. He said it was express
ly and clearly laid down iu the Constitution
that all amendments must ta-read three times
in both Houses, aud passed the two General
Assemblies, and iu no other way can the exist
ing Constitution be amended.
This bill was against the very letter and
spirit of the Constitution, hence it could not
be pa sed. Mr. llurphy. of DeKalb, supported
Mr. Dunnagan, and Mr. Cone—the introducer
of the bill—opposed him, and contended stren
uously for the measure. The people were the
sovereigns, from them originated the Constitu
tion; and they could when exigencies require
form a new one. No code of laws could be
forme! which were unconditionally and irrevo
cably binding on subsequent generations. They
possessed the power of repealing laws they did
not like, and i e argued that the people could
send delegates to a general Convention for the
purpose of remodelling, revising, or reconstruct
ing the present Constitution.
The “previous question” was called, sustained,
and the bill put to the House and lost. Ayes
22, nays 58.
This is a most important bill, and the ends it
contemplates are fraught with deep interest to
tne citizens of our State. It is an undeniable
fact that the Constitution needs pruning and
grafting, and the question for the assembled
wisdom of the State to decide is, what is the
most proper manner in which this can be execu
ted. The amount of the majority against, pre
cludes the possibility of recoiisideratiou though
the impcrtancs of the bill warrants the con
jecture that an attempt will be made to resuscit
ate and revive it.
A bill to reorganize the Congressional Dis
tricts mentioned iu the bill, by the addition of
. several counties. Lost.
A bill to form a new county from the coun-
I tics of Cobb, Cherokee. Forsyth; Gwinnett,
DeKalb and Fulton. Lost.
The Clerk read an invitation from the Gov
ernor, requesting theircompany todriuk a glass
i of wine with him this evening. ’ Mr. Hardeman
moved that the Legislature accept the invita
tion “to take these drinks.” The chairmen
decidid the motion unnecessary as they could
best accept by their presence.
A bill requiring the survey of tho Okefeno
kee Swamp, &c. Passed.
Mr. Dunagan, of Hall, opposed all bills for
building bridges and establishiug ferries, be
cause this power is vested in the Inferior Courts,
and there is no use for applying to the legis
lature.

BILLS ON THEIR PASSAGE.
A bill to endow the Southern Botauie Med
ical College, at Macon, with 85,000. Passed.
This bill caused a very humorous and desul
tory discussion. The medical profession, or at
least that part of it. (not a small part ei
-1 ther,) termed Quack, were belabored most
gloriously. The members considered it a “ free
fight,” and struck out right anl left, without
any regard for friend or toe. each one bent on
showing his pluck.
A bill to require all Banks having agencies,
to redeem notes of the same, to prevent them
from discounting bonds, &c., above a certain
per cent. A substitute was offered by the
Committee, to whom the matter was referred,
differing slightly, in being a little more stringent.
Nearly the whole morning was consumed iu the
discussion. The old theme of Wild Cat was
largely expanded, and also the necessity of
Banks in the Interior, and the great accommo
dation thus afforded to the Interior citizens.—
Mr. Wingfield, of Putnam, we think, took the
soundest and most sensible view of the matter.
Any one would suppose from this bill that great
injury had been done to the people of Georgia
from Banks establishing agencies in our State,
when, in fact, the reverse was the truth, for- no
State had suffered less from a bad unsound cur
rency than ours. There was no necessity for
this bill, and serious injury would be done, not
only to home Banks who had established these
agencies, but to the people who lose sound
banking facilities. Gentlemen seemed to think
that the agencies would prevent the success of
the Banks just incorporated. If these Banks
could not survive the competition of good
agencies, they deserved to die, they would not
deserve life.
Dr. Screven offered an amendment to the
substitute, limiting the provisions to foreisn
Banks, aßd subjecting them to taxation, and
making 85 the smallest bill to be issued by the
agencies. He made an excellent speech in
support of his amendment, proving that great
injury would be done to our home Banks by
encumbering them with such binding restric
tions and limitations. There were reasons for
stringency towards the agencies of foreign
Banks, for the people might really suffer, but
when our own banking itstitutions established
agencies, for the accommodation of our own
citizens, who would otherwise be without any
banking facilities at all, and moreover, when it
was for the best interests of our Banks to pre
serve their currency sound, he did not think it
right to burden and bind the agencies in such
a manner that life must necessarily depart.—
He had writtcu and made enquiries, and ascer
tained that if this bill was passed, the Savannah
Banks would be necessitated to withdraw their
agencies.
Judge Cone replied, inveighing against Bank
agencies, and commending any course which
would limit, and bind, and straight-jacket them
into a state bordering on non-existince. He
considered them as benefiting one section of
country to the detriment and injury of another
and hence he was opposed to them. He in
dulged in considerable humor, and excited
laughter several times by placing his opponents
in a laughable light.
Mr. Hardeman, of Bibb, also spoke in favor
of the bill, contending that agencies did the
neighborhoods, in which they were located, very
little service. A man could rarely ever bor
row money from them, and they would only
transact business where an immense profit
could be made. He spoke against them all,
and deemed this bill a necessary bill, and de
manded its passage as an act of protection to
the Upper Georgians.
' The previous question” was called, and the
Senate became most bewilderingly befogged in
a Parliamentary mist, os to what the “previ
ous question” was, and the whole aternoon was
consumed in technical discussion, in which
previous question,” “main question,” “substi
tute,” “amendment.” -original bill" an! “report
of the committee,” were as inextricably con
fused and commingle’, together, as if they had
been thrown in a hat, shaken up, and one draw
at random, in hopes of ils being providentially
the right one. After the expenditure of enough
talk to have decided the destiny of a young
nation, the bill was put to tho house, noil lost.
Ayes 35, nays 36.
A bill to allow Trustees to make the same
returns as Executors, Administrators and Guar
dians. Passed.
| Judge Cone stated that he was a very,mod
est man, (laughter) and the Senate knew it,
and as he nad u ver asked the indulgence of
the body to suspend the regular order, he would
do so this afternoon, and thought they should
grant it. He had a bill that he desired to
have passed. The Senate indulged him.
A bill for the relief of certain persons in
Greene county.
House.
Bills ox theib passage.
A bill to provide for the removal of free
negroes from the State, or voluntary return to
servitude. Passed.
A bill to provide for the calling of a con- '
vention, in the happening of certain continger- ,
cies. This is the report of the joint committee, ,
and the contingencies are: the violation of the (
laws for the protection of slave States, <kc.. by '
Abolitionists, interference of non-slaveholding j
States in a manner not recognized by law and . |
the Constitution. ' f
Mr. Lewis, of Greene, introduced an amen d
ment, proposing that the Governor should call
together the Legislature, instead of a Conven- ]
tion. which was lost.
Messrs. Harris, of Pulton, aud Jones and *
Thornton, of Muscogee, spoke lengthily in 1
WT of the ameadmeut, ud Mnsrs. Lawton i
Crook, Ward Jones, of Warren, and Smith, of
Union, supported the bill.
Not being übiquitous,and being in the Sen
ate while the discussion was proceeding in the
House; and moreover, having no proxy to take
note of anything more than business, I am una
ble to give either the speeches or a complete
synopsis of them, which I regret exceedingly,
ns they were of such a character as to deserve
publication, not only from their soundness and
southerness of sentiment, but for the elegance
of diction, and power of language with which
they were delivered. There was complete un
animity on the necessity of taking immediate
and decided action whenever any of tho con
tingencies, mentioned in the bill,should happen,
of Georgia's asserting herexisting Constitution
al rights and privileges at every hazard, even
though to a disruption of the Union; but the
question was, what was the best, most conveni
ent nnd wisest mode of doing this? The sup.
porters of the amendment argued that it was
placing in one man too much responsibility and
power, to give him the preragative of deciding
when sufficient cause had been given for such
bold ai d revolutionary action, which would
most probably lead to the most disastrous con
seqences to this confederacy. It required com
bined intelligence, wisdom, patriotism and con
sideration of the Legislature, who, just from
their homes, well acquainted with the wishes
of their constituencies, could decide with more
judinent and impartiality than one man, how
ever sound, intellectual or deliberate. Such
extreme power Gionld never be vested in one
man.
The opposite party looked upon the Georgia
platform, which, by this action is to be carried
into execution, as the unalterable, irrevocable,
final determination of the people of Georgia,
upon the grand, and to them all momentous
question of slavery; and every contingency,
being specified and particularized, which shall
be deemed ns sufficient cause fur aggressive
self-preservative proceedings. One man could
announce the happening of sueli, as well as a
dozen men. Besdes, there would be the ex
penditure of the Legislature, an important item,
when it was usel.ss, and would be of no advan
tage to the State. The amendment was lost,
and the bill was put and carried. Ayes ”3.

I’. ,S. I'he i'asliionablu world was much as
tonished last night by some grand, religious,
poetic, savage, domestic, romantic, humorous
and historic tableaux, at the Milledgcvlle Ho
tel, by the Boarders there. It seems that balls,
parties. Ac., have become “an old thing,” and
being desirous of some new amusement, they
hit. upon tableaux as the most feasible and con
venient. and interesting plan and having ob
tained some old theatrical costumes, with the
aid of a little womanly ingenuity, they succeed
ed finely.
The best of the representations were the " 1 ly
ing Scene," ‘'Byron's Dream,” “Bonaparte,”
“Curiosity in the Post Office,” ••Parting Scene,”
“Bashful Country Lover,” and “Coming to get

executed. Tho dream of Byron was superbly
done. One would almost suppose that bona fide

LATEST NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF THE
Steamships ATLANTIC & ASIA.
ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.
New York, Feb. 24.—'Hie steamers Atlan
tic and Asia arrive! today, bringing Liverpool
dates to the 9 th.
Peace negotiations wore progressing favora
bly. The preliminaries had been duly ratified,
and the conference would be opened in Paris in
about three weeks.
The aspect of affairs, however, between Eng
land and the United States was threatening.—
The story of a difficulty between Mr. Buchanan
and Lord Clarendon is repeated, and it was
even reported that the former had demanded
Ins passports. The tone of the Government
organs was highly offensive towards the United
States. The latest report is, that Sir 11. L.
Bulwer had offered to mediate between Mr. Bu
chanan and the English Ministry.
In consequence of these events, Consols had
receded to 90 1-2 at the middle of the week,
but s bscquently rallied,closing at 91 a 91 3-8.
Cotton was quiet, with sales of 58,000 bales.
Some circulars quote prices as easier. Advices
from Manchester were unfavorable. Money
more stringent. Flour had declined 3s. per bbl
Corn Is. a 2s. per cwt., mid Wheat Bd. a lOd
per bushel.
Arrival of the Steamship Etna.
Three Davs Later From Europe.
Halifax. Feb. 23.—The steamer Etna with
Havre dates of the stb, has put in here short
of coal—-she bl ings no tidings of the Pacific*
nor tiny English papers.
At Havre, Cotton was in good demand at
firmer rates, owing to the increased confidence
felt in France nnd throughout Europe in regard
to the speedy re-cstablishment of peace. Bread
stuffs from the same cause were declining.
It was doubtful whether Prussia would be
admitted to the Conference.
The decision of Russia had caused the great
est astonishment in Turkey.
A deep laid military conspiracy had been
detected in Spain; but tho particulars had not
transpired.
The Kansas Contested Election.
The first act in the Kansas drama in the
House of Representatives was played out on
yesterday. After two days’ labor, the resolu
tion from the Committee of Elections, asking
for power to send for person < and papera to be
used in the contested election from Kansas, was
recommitted, witli instructions to report the
reasons for such a procedure.
Gov. Reeder had given Gen. Whitfield notice
of his intention to contest his scat several mouths
ago, but down to this time he has taken no
proof on which to sustain his claim to the scat.
After this long delay, he now desires that com
missioners be appointed to go to Kansas to take
the proof which, under the law, he could and
should have taken months ago.
This was so transparent a dodge, and dis
closed so clearly that the real object is not to
have a speedy settlement of the contest, but ti.
procrastinate it for the purposes of continued
agitation, that it is strange that even black re
publicans undertake to sustain so absurd a pro
ceeding.
The discussion, however, has not been with
out its benefits. It has made palpable two im
portant points: first, that Gov. Reeder’s pre
tensions to a seat arc so absurd that his own
friends are not prepared to meet the issue; and,
second, it has shown that it is the policy and
the purpose of abolitionism to keep alive the
Kansas excitement for political ends connected
with the approaching presidential election.
It matters n.'thing to the black republicans
that they are involving the country in an ex
pense of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
depriving Kansas of a representative in Con
gress ; with them these ere small matters com
pared with the importance of keeping up the
agitation. The country will appreciate the ,
earnest and persevering exertions of the nation
al men of the House in opposition to this abo
lition movement. They have been successful
thus far. and we hope they wiil continue to be ,
io.

French Government, which substitutes fixed
iuties by weight on the importation of wool for
id valorem, amounts to a reduction of duty of
about one-half.
