e I a t re. of the Savannah Journal.] iHVIii.LKDGEVii.LF, Jan. 24, 185 G. Sf.nW.—The Bill appropriating money to the Georgia Military Institute, defeated yes terday, was reconsidered and referred to a committee to day. A Bill codifying the whole of the statutory provisions, and remodelling and changing .our lows on the subject of Attachments, and Garnishments, was taken up to-day in the Se nate, discussed, amended and passed. It is a beneficial enactment, and by its simplifying, what has heretofore been a difficult branch of our legal system, will be received by the peo ple of the State with approbation. It is entirely too long, having about fifty-six sec tions, for publication in your paper, else I would send it. 1 will hereafter condense its provisions for the informat ion of your readers. In the afternoon the Bill creating anew Circuit from Clinch, Ware, Charlton, Camden, Glynn, Wayne, and other counties, was taken \ip. Dr. Screven presented three memorials against the proposed new Judicial Circut, from citizens of Wayne County, and moved that they be received and read On the consideration of the Bill he moved to amend the first section by striking out the counties of Wayne, Glinn, and Camden, for the reason that the people of the first named county, had petitioned against the Bill and the Grand Juries of the two latter, had made presentments in opposition. lie remarked that he had neither interest in, nor feeling on the subject—he had voted for the Bill when it was first considered by the Senate before the recess, believeing the new Circuit proper and necessary, but since then the counties which he proposed to strike out had expressed their views by petition and presentment, and he made the motion in order that the sense of the Senate might be fairly tested upon the justice of their opposition to tin’s measure. Dr. Serevens motion was lost. By an amendment offered by Mr Atkinson, the Governor can appoint the Judge out of any circuit in the State, and the election for a successor is to take place on the Ist Monday in October 1851. On motion of Mr. Lawton, of Dougherty.— Montgomery and Tatnall Counties were ad ded to the Eastern Circuit. Thus amended the Bill passed. The Senate then took up the Bill to form Pataula Circuit out of Randolph, Clay and other Counties , and after some amendments it was passed. The Brunswick Circuit will be composed of the following Counties : Clinch, Ware, Coffee Appling, Wayne, Camden, Glvnu and Charl ton. No other business Was before the Senate. Burke. Mr. Stephens and Mr. Zohicolfer. Horace Greeley, in a telegraphic despatch to his paper, alluding to the same discussion, says : “Mr. Zollicoffer rather crowded Mr Ste phens in debate to-day.” In justice to Mr. Stephens we publish the fol. lowing account of the encounter between that gentleman and Mr Zo'licoffor, which we find in the Washington Star (independent) of Friday last. The Biter Tittex.— Mr Stephens proved yesterday in the House hall, a very eo: sider able over match for Mr. Zollicoffer, who again essayed to place the astute Georgian on the inquisitorial rack. Mr Zollicoffer’s point was to prove that during the pendency of the New Mexican government bill in 1850. Mr. Ste phens, who now repudiates the Missouri restriction, professed to be willing to have the South draw the sword in its defence. Mr. S. admits, that, as the alternative of giving tip the whole of the territory of the North— for which the latter contended —her did so struggle for it; and lie met the denunciations of his course on that occasion that fell from his accuser’s lips, by the question whether, had he (Mr Zollicoffer) been in Congress at the time, would he not have stood side by side with him (Mr. S. jin that position, which was occupied at that time by every member from every slaveholding State Mr. Zollicoffer, though again and again asked for a reply to that question, declined answering yes or no. Mr. Stephens declared that lie had sustain ed the extension of the Missouri compromise on that occasion simply as an alternative, and not because he thought it the most just and proper thing in the premises that could have been done by Congress. lie believed that the Mexican law excluding slavery, was then operative over all the territory acquired by the treaty of Gaudalupe Hidalgo, and that it was due to the South that Congress should so legislate upon it as at least to open half of it to her institutions and citizens • Hence his support of the extension of the Missouri law to the Pacfic ocean. But for the fact he be lieved the Mexican law mentioned above to be in force, of course he would not have ta ken that ground ; his object being to remove from much of the territory as lay south of 36 deg. 30 min. north latitude, the alledged then existing anti-slavery restriction. He sustains the principles of the Nebraska bill, as he explains, because it brings back our territo rial government system to what he believes to be the true principles of the constitution , which make it obligatory upon the General Government to protect slave property in the United States territories co-equally with any other property whatever, until at proper time, in forming a State government, the inhabitants of a territory may decide, in a proper way, whether the institution of slavery shall there after (iu the new State) exist among them. His exposition of his present views, and of his former course upon this exciting and intricate subject, was one of the clearest and most for cible legislative efforts we ever listened to ; and it fell with great force, indeed, on the minds of a very large and attentive audience. He completely demolished the positions of Mr. Zollicoffer ; exposing their weakness as well as that gentleman’s entire want of identity with the interests of the South in the course of opposition to the opponents of the Republi can party, he has chosen as his plan of battle in the present contest. We can have no doubt, however, that, after his passage nt arms with Mr. S., yestarday, Mr. Zollicoffer will soon come to realize that he is simply strengthening the hands of those who are aiming to strangle the rights cf Tennessee among those of the rest of the slaveholding States. Mr. Gibson’s Resolutions. Resolved , That while we deplore the exhibi tion of disorder in the failure of the House of Representatives to organise, that disorganiza tion is the legitimate result of the hostili.y to the Government imbeded in the heart of anti slavery ism. Resolved , That the members of the House of Representatives who have firmly adhered to the support of William A Richardson for Speaker, have shown thereby their determina tion to maintain the principle of equality among the States, that Congress has no power to legis late slavery into any State or Territory, uoi to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic inssittttions in their own way. subject only to the Constitution of the United Sta t.es. Resolved, That while we should regard Ihe election of an Abolition member to the Speakership in the House of Representatives, the greatest public calamity, it is the sense of this General Assembly that no compromise should, or ought to be made by the friends of the Kansas Nebraska act with the enemies of that bill ; and we cordially approve their mani fest intention to promote no member to the Speaker’s Chair, wl;o does not approve the principles in that act. Resolved, That in this juncture of imminent peril to the institutions of these United States, it is fit and meet that all who accord the just rights of all the States alike in the enjoyment of the common territory in the Union, should forego former political differences, and gather as a band of bretiiern around the common heritage of America,[the Constitution,] and thereby evince to the world the capacity of the people of these United States to establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfaie, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Resolved , That President Pierce deserves the gratitude of the Nation for his masterly defence of Constitutional Liberty, so ably set forth in his late message : and his bold manifestation of the truth of history in delineating the ag gressions of the North and the forbearance of the South upon the subject of slavery, richly entitle him to the highest commendation of every true patriot, Resolved, 1 hat the General Assembly ap prove the construction given to the Clayton and Buhvef Treat}’ by President Pierce, and that the position lie lias assumed upon that subject ought to be maintained at “all hazards.” Resolved, i hut this Geneaal Assembly here by declare their opinion that the present posi tion of Franklin Pierce 1o the great measures before the country, commend him to the Nation as the candidate for the next Presidency. ——a®-.- [From the Savannah Journal.] Daguerreotype Sketches of Members of t3ie Georgia Legislature. Still further to the left of the Speaker, and on the aisle leading to the Committee Room, you may observe a man, rather under medium size, bright-blue eyes, brown hair, watching with assiduous attention the current of legisla tion. Pe is recognised as the Chairman of the Committee on the state of the Republic, and a leading member from the Cherokee country — Mr. CROOK, OF CHATTOOGA. Ilis style of speaking is more forcible than ornate, and more convincing than polished, and yet there is an earnestness arid sincerity in his manner that evidences the frankness and candor of his nature, and usually give him influence and weight in the measures lie advocates. He has had to struggle with the difficulties ever incident to the waste of early mental cultivation, but his present position before his section of the State and in the Legislature exhibit an energy and industry that will over-rule all obstacles and demand success. II eis very justly regarded as the leading member from Cherokee Georgia, and one who, if his life is spared, will without doubt, be advanced by popular confidence to higher honors. He is the author of several, important measures, among them I may men tion the proposition “To Lease the State Road”—a bill which,on thorough examination, is entitled to and will receive (in my opinion) the approval of the Legislature. The Democratic National Conven tion. In pursuance to a call regularly made, the “Democratic National Committee,” consisting of one from each State, appointed by the Democratic Convention of 1852, to “promote thc*pmocratic cause,” and “desig nate the tiinc[of holding the next convention,” met at the National Hotel, in the city of Washington, at 12, nr, on the Bth day of January, 1856, and, with entire unanimity— Resolved, That the Democratic National Convention of 1856 meet in the city of Cincin nati, at 12 o’clock, m , on the first Monday of June next. Ihe National Convention of 1852 adopted the following resolution as to the number of delegates to be chosen : “ Resolved, That, in constituting further national conventions of the democratic party, in order to secure the respective rights of the States to their relative representation in such conventio s, each State shall be entitled to twice t.c number of delegates that it has votes in the electoral college and no more ; and that the Democratic National Committee, in making arrangements for the next National Convention, provide suck number of seats therein for each State, and secure the same to the delegates elect.” It is requested, with a view to the proper arrangement of seats of members, that the delegates from the sevoral States to the next National Convention forward to lion. A. P. Edgerton, Hicksville, Ohio, chairman of the committee of arrangements their respective names and.offices ; and the democratic papers throughout the United States are requested to copy this call, and the proceedings of the Democratic National Committee. By order : ROBT. McLANE, Chairman. Mr Banks’ Ignorance of Law, History and Geography. Mr. Banks, the Black republican candidate for Speaker,in reply to interrogatories as to his opinions says: ‘Property in man,which the universal law of the world condemned, and which was property on ly when held under the local laws of certain sec tions of the country,” Arc. Now, property in man is acknowledged ar.d se cured by the laws of every country in the world.— and always has been acknowledged and secured.— In Masachusetts a man has property iu his wife’s labor, and in her person, and if she escapes may recapture and detain her. lie has also property in his children and apprentices, often valuable property too, and may recover them by legal pro cess, if necessary, without, fear of a mob. Thou sands of sailors go on whaling voyages for at least three years, they are badly treated sla res, can be recovered if they escape,and whipped for escaping. If Mr. Banks alludes to hereditary domestic slave ry, in that, too,he isgroosely in error. Nine-tenths of the world recognize, approve and enforce it —un- til very recently, all the worlds did so. The Mormon Hegira. Under this head the New York Times records the arrival in that city., direct from Liverpool, of 346 Mormon emigrants, en route for the city of the plains. Their special creed is summed up as fol. lows : That “it is impossible for a man with a single wife to increase and multiply, to the dividing of bodies as habitations for the many souls flitting in the air, and therefore it is the duty of a man to take as many ribs as lie can support, that he may father as many children of the faithful as the Lord shall grant him.” While on the ocean, the time was divided into parts for the accommodation of all ; they messed in parties, and spent much time in prayer, and the reading of Joe Smith’s fantasy, the “Book of Mormon.” So exclusive were they in their habits, that even during sickness, they would not allow the ship’s physician to attend them, and on one oc casion, a young man had fallen down the hold, they would on no account suffer the interference of a surgeon, but themselves ministered to him in his sickness, his chief physic being “a full meed of prayer and singing,” The temporal services of each day were under the superintendence of the officers above named ; the latter, or spiritual affairs, were conducted by the Elder, whose name is Charles A. Foster. He is a man of slim build, and rather tall, with all the appearance of a Jersey Blue. We learn that lie was a native of Watertown, Jefferson county, X. Y., and that he left the United States about three years since for the proselytizing of foreigners. Ilis labors were confined to the vicinity of Liver pool, and his success in inducing these to come to this country has had the effect of closing the meet ing-house of the sect at that place, lie has five wives. HowaCiiii.eno can Die.—A convicted cul prit, named Selmdo, was executed at Sonora, Cal ifornia. He addressed the spectators in Spanish, as follows : ‘lie said if he had been an American,he would not have been molested, and lie advised all Spaniards, whenever they met a man with a white skin and fair hair, to put a knife into him up to the hilt.— He complained much of injustice, but he would now show the people how a Cliileno could die. He insisted upon having a woman brought upon th scaffold to play the harp for him to dance his way out of the world, otherwise he would die unhappy. In conclusion, he said if any one present desired to send word or money to their friends where he was going, he was just the man to take it.” This painful incident is instructive. How many are shuffling their way off the scaffold of Time as thoughtless, as illy prepared as the poor Spaniard, Some would dissipate thoughts of death and ap prehensions of eternity, by clutching with firm grasp their “old, and pursuing with greater dili gence their accustomed business. Others would drown such awakened thoughts and fears in the cup of dissipation. While another class would divert their minds trom the gloomy future by scenes of beauty, and the harmony of sweet sounds. W. W. E. Mrs. Partington’s Last. “You see none of the squalor here, ma’am,” said the agent, us Mrs Partington was picking her way through the intricacy of the Amoskeag Mills, with benevolence on her foce and spectacles on her nose, looking at the pretty and neat looking operatives. “You see none of the squalor here that has been re presented.” She Smiled. “But,” said sue, at the top of her lungs, like one at the top of a ladder, endeavoring to overcome the noise of the looms, “they all have to be squallers, 1 should think, in order to have a conscientiousness of what they are saying to each other.” The agent said, “I mean their wretchedness, ma’am.” She comprehended. “Oil,” replied she, with reflection, like sunrise on a a lake beaming on her brow, “but wretchedness don’t come from no condition. It’s all in ourselves aider all. It isn’t in the nature of sich as these to be miserable, and so wretchedness can’t come in.— Ain’t they sometimes lateral in the morning ?” The agent seemed as puzzled as the doctor was to know how the milk came in the coconut and could not answer. “I mean,” screamed she, as if she was scolding him, “do they never come late in the morning?” He kindly explained ; “Well,” said she, and there was great depth in the well, “this factory is the beat* rmost ! such order and neat ness ; and the dear souls looked as contented as if they were making shirts and trbuses, or cleaning the house at home wittt a pack of young ones that was around ’em, and a cross husband.” A cry from Ike arrested her, as if it were a warrant, whose finger had got hit by a shuttle, which he said had hopped right up and struck him, and he didn’t put his finger in the shuttle box, at all, not he ; and he knew nothing of the thread which was tied to Mrs. Partington’s reticule, not he, the other end of which was miles away in the interior of a bobbin ; and he knew nothing, not he, of the Hakes of cotton that dotted like show patches the; agent’s coat ! But didn’t the lady that harnelßed the web laugh, when Ike drolly asket her if it was kind in harness and would stand without tying ! lie is well reud in Riddle’s advertisements.

Knowing from experience the valuable qualities of Dr McLanc's Vermifuge and Liver Pills, i have for sometime back considered it my duty, and made it my business, to make those articles known wherever I went among my friends. A short time ago I became acquainted with the case of a young girl, who seemed to he troubled with worms and liver complaint at the same time, and had been suffer, ing for some two months. Through my persuasion she pur. chased one bottle of Dr. McLaue’s Vermifuge, and one bn X of LivctPills, which she took according to directions. The result wfs, she passed a large quantity of worms,and thinks that one'box more of the Pills will restore her to perfect health. Her name and residence can be learned by calling on E.
