Election of Speaker. Below we present our readers with a detail ed accouut, taken from the Baltimore Ameri can, of the election of the Speaker: Mr. Barclay remarked that he had been averse to anything like coalition with Know Nothingism whether it came from the North or the South, and he asked Mr. Aiken wheth er the latter stood on the democratic caucus platform; and whether lie had not written a letter to Humphrey Marshall making pledges te'the Southern wing of the Know Noth ings. t , ‘ Mr. Aiken replied—Tam not a candidate. If -my friends think proper to place me in the chair I will serve them to the best of my abil ity. Mr. H. Marshall—l have only to say that Mr. Aiken lias addressed me no letter what ever. [Applause and cries of call the roll ] futenSe excitement.now existed in all parts of the Hall while the House proceeded to the final -vote under the-plurality resolution. Mr Marshall during the roll call congratu lated his American friends that they had fought fight and conquered. There was no democratic candidate now in the field with an offe-nsive caucus platform. Performing his du ty Ts a patriot •and not as a oardzan lie voted far Mr. Aiken. Mr. Walker also voted the same way, es Teeming Mr Aiken a man of no stain ofparti ■'sanism on -tiis skirts—a, man who has not r sOUglft-effice but .to whom office is tendered it and is true to the Constitution. Mr. Pain and Mr. Bindley also voted for Mr. Aiken, knowing lim to be a National •?nan. Mr.-Smith, of Alabama, voted for Mr. Ai •ken under protest. ©thor.gentlemen mainly sought an opporta, nity for Amid the contusion K severdlgentlemen changed their vote and for so doing were greeted v\ ith applause. There ‘‘were impatient cries of ‘announce the vote ’ •The -lobbies were crowded to suffocation aodThe'-cxcitement was increased by the start ling that a boy was being crushed to death by the pressure iii the galleries. Some mem ‘Ugre jricd'fall back,’others ‘hand him over the ‘rail? Finally the boy was relieved from his imminent danger. ‘Announce the vote,’ was il agtfru shouted from all sides of the House.— ‘1 heyjlerk then read the vote as follows: -Bank*, 103; Aiken, 100; Fuller, 9; Camp hbdfl€f Ohio, 2: Wells, 1.

For Mr. Wells —Mr Hickman Mr. A K, Marshall, raised the question that Banks was not elected. The clerk had no power to announce such results. It must be declared by a vote of the House. The clerk explained,giving his reasons which appeared to be satisfactory for his conduct, Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, appealed to the hon or of gentlemen to carry the plurality resolu tion into effect and end the disgraceful strug gle. Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, said lie considered Mr Banks as virtually elected by a majority of the House under the plurality rule. Mr. Aiken asked to be allowed to conduct Mr. Banks as Speaker to the Chair. [Ap plause.] There was much confusion during these pro ceedings. Mr Smith of Alabama, said he highly ap predated Mr. Aiken’s request. If'granted, he thought it would tend to heal divisions and pour oil on the troubled waters When grown * up men make a child’s bargain they ought to stick to it. [Laughter.] After some debate on this point, in which Messrs Rust, Clingman, Cobb, of Georgia, Smith of Alabama, Paine, of .North Carolina, H Marshall, Campbell of Ohio, Herbert and Stewart participated, and during which Mr. 4Aiken asked permissiou of the House to con’ duct the gentleman from Masachusetts [Mr. Banks] to the chair, as the duly elected Spea ker of the House. Mr . Clingman offered the following resolu’ tion: Resolved, That by reason cf the adoption of the proposition known as the plurality resolu tion, and the votes taken under it, the Hon. X*. P. Banks, Jr. of Massachusetts, has been duly chosen Speaker, aud is hereby so declar ed: After some debate, the previous question was called on the resolution, and seconded, and ordered to be now put. The question was taken, and the resolution was adopted—yeas 156, nays 40. The clerk appointed Messrs H. M. Fuller, Aiken and L. D. Campbell, to conduct Mr. Banks to the chair. Mr. Banks, amid the most profund silence succeeded the cheers with Which he was greet ed, said: Gentlemen of the House of Representatives: Before I proceed to complete the acceptance of the office which you have conferred upon me, I avail myself of your indulgence to ex press my obligations for the honor conferred upon me. It would afford far greater pleasure wefe it accompanied by the slightest assurance that I could bring to the discharge of the arduous and delicate duties (always difficult, but now environed with unusal difficulties J any capaci ty commensurate with their responsibility and dignity. I can only say that I shall bear myself, so far as I am able, with fidelity to the interests and institutions of the country and govern ment, and with impartiality, so far as regards the rights of the members of this House. I have no personal objects to accomplish.— 1 am animated by the single desire of contrib uting in some little degree,to the maintenance of the well established principles of our gov ernment ill their original American signification and in developing that portion of the Continent which we occrpy, so far as we may do so with in the legitimate power conferred upon us, en larging and swelling the capacity for benificent influences, both at home and abroad, and maintaining in tact and in perpetuity, the in estimable priviledges transmitted to us. I am aware that neither myself nor any oth er man is equal to the perfect accomplishment of these duties, I am therefore,* as a m m must be in such a position, a supplicant for your indulgence and assistance; and I again return my thanks for the honor which you have conferred upon me. At the conclusion of the address there was deafening and long continued applause. Three hearty cheers were given for Mr. Banks, when his friends rushed forward to congratulate him on Ins good fortune. The usual oath of Office was then adrninis-* tered to him by Mr. Giddings. On motion of Mr. Stanton of Ohio, the fol lowing resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved , That the thanks of this House arc eminently due, and are hereby tendered, to John IV. Forney, E-q. for the distinguished ability, fidelity and impartiality with which he has passed over the deliberations of the House of Representatives during the arduous and protracted contest for Speaker which has just closed. On motion of Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, the House, at 7 o’clock, adjourned, Tlaat Railroad Iron. During the political canvass, last fall, the opposition press and stump orators were loud mouthed in their vociferations of corruption and favoritism on the part of the Superinten dent of the State Road, in the matter of the sale of old Kailroad iron to to Mobile fk Girard Railroad, when, it was alleged that a higher price had been offered by the Thomaston Railroad Company. The charge was met, at the time, and disproved to the satisfaction of every candid and riirh-t minded man in the Slate. At an early period of the present ses sion of the Legislature, however, the thing was attempted to be galvanized into new life, and Mr. Fambro, of Upson, came forward with a set of resolutions requiring an investiga tion into the matter, the consequence of which has been iliut the matter lias been investigated and facts developed not very creditable to Mr. F. himself. As will be observed by the Legis lative proceedings in another column, the Governor lias transmitted a message to the Legislature, with accompanying documents which amply vindicate the integrity of the Superintendent from the aspersions of his political maligners. The letter enclosed, from Mr. Fambro himself, offering to hush and kill the charge if lie could share the plunder, must be decidedly cooling to that gentleman’s ardor. We hope to be able to lay the docu ments in full before our readers in a few days. — Exchange. The subscribers, composing a minority of the committee on the Atlanta and other Banks, being unable to agree with the majority, beg leave to submit the following Report in regard to the Bank of the Interior: The majority appear to infer that SIOO,OOO in specie lmd not been paid in at the time the Bank went into operation, mostly from the fact that tlie first report of the Bank, three months after it went into operation, showed that on the Ist of February, 1855, said Bank had on hand only $12,093 94- On this point we only deem it necessary to sav that the fact can be proven, if necessary, by the sworn evidence of witnesses of the first respectability, that the SIOO,OOO was in fact paid according to the requirements of the Charter, before the Bank went into operation ; and upon this statement they leave that part of the subject. On the next point the charter provides against the disposition of the charter not against the subscription for stock by non residents and others. We do not believe as the majority does, that the subscription for stock is a disposition of the Charter. And as to the shares, which stand in the names of resi dents, and the shares have been paid for ; all which can, and will be proved, if required. All which is respectfully submitted. JAMES M. CALHOUN. C. 13. WELLBORN. Ib moval of the Capital. I LOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES The bll next taken up by the House, was one appropriating one hundred thousand dol lars lor the purpose of suitably repairing the State House. Air Crook, of Chattooga, offered a substi tute, appropriating $500,000 for the erection, of anew Capital, leaving a blank, to be filled out with the locality. Part of the morning, and the whole of the afternoon was consumed in a rambling, ineffectual, general discussion of this matter. Nearly all spoke, and disregad ing the will of the majority of the people of Georgia, expressed in the result of the late gubernatorial election, to have the Capitol permanently located at Milledgeville, many other places were proposeded to (ill the blank.

The six National Know Nothings who persist ed in voting for Fuller on the last ballot, when the question was Aikin Or Banks, are Jacob Broom, of Pennsylvania. Wm. Millward-, “ Bayard Clark, of New York, Thomas R. Whitney, “ Elisha. D-. Ciillen, of Delaware-. H. Wi Davis of Maryland. There are 91 Know Nothing members from non slaveholding States. Os these who voted for Ai kin number 0. Those who voted for Banks are eighty-odd. The whole nationality of Northern Know Nothingism is frirly illustrated in the four above named, viz : Broom, Millward, Clark and Whitney, who could not vote for Banks, but threw away their votes to secure his election. Banksdid not get a Southern vote. Ilis election is the tri umph of sectionalism. Aikin, on the contrary, had nineteen Northern democratic votes. How long will intelligent men of the South af filiate with such allies as Northern Know Noth, ings ?—Georgia Telegraph. Southern Know Nothingism. Why should Southerners proscribe Cathol ics and Foreigners ? Do Catholics or For eigners disturb, or injure society at the South? Have we not enemies enough at the North to contend with, without stirring up two other parties to oppose us? There is but little im migration to the South, there was no complaint among us, of either Catholics or im migrants, until the Know Nothing party arose at the North. That party has joined the ab olitionists The proscription of foreigners at the South,is calculated to alienate their attach ment from the people, aud the institutions, who thus proscribe them. The South, alrea dy in the minority,cannot afford lo lose friends or make new enemies. She might by pursu ing the path of common fairness, equity and justice, make a host of warm and constant friends We weigh our words as we write. — V'e mean, that to allure foreigners aud catho -Ics to this country,by holding it up to them as the asylum of the appressed,where they would speedily be admitted to the equal rights of citizenship; to induce them to settle among us by such promises,and then to violate our prom ise, to delay the fruition of citizenship, to de ny them, when qualified, the equal right to hold office,aud to proscribe them, forever, for difference of religion—is a violation of vested rights,and a palpable departure from fair deal ing justice and equity. As to those who im migrate hereafter, we may, without breach of faith, or moral wrong, prescribe such terms as we please. They accept the terms by immigra ting, and cannot complain of injustice howev er cruel those terms. But in the South, we know, there is no occasion whatever to change the treatment, or the law, as to foreigners and immigrants. Instead of following the lead of Yankee ab olitionists, if the South will do what is just and equitable in this matter, it will display its wanted steadfastness, consistency and conser vatism, win the respect and esteem of the world, and make a host of friends, North aud South. Can the democracy, in or out of Congress, hold terms with our compromise with a party, that ccolly proposes, by an expost facto pro ceeding, to cut off from the equal v.ghts of citizenship a very large and highly respeeta* able portion of our people ? We say certainly not. Ihe Virginia Know Nothings have assert ed the individuality and free agency of men, by ceasing to be the oath-bound instruments of midnight lodges We congratulate them on the occasion, whilst we regret that the ve ry equivocal position which they at the same time,assumed as to the i.otts clique and South ern rights, seems but the pulling one leg out of the mire in order to put the other deeper into it.— Richmond Enquirer. - “You Shouldn’t Eat Meats on a Friday.”— Quite a circumstance occurred on anew building in this city yesterday, in consequence of a differ ence in faith. Two persons, one a German aud the other an Irishman, at noon went to eating their dinner side by side, and after pulling out their re spective lunches, the following colloquy, eudihg by ground and lofty tumbling, ensued : * Pat.—-“ What’s that yer ating there, Dutch man ?” Hans.— -"Dea ish mine fnittsgegaen.”—(dinner.) Pat. —“An what the divil is mistengasen, sure ; is it mate ye mane ?” Hans.—“Yuli,” said Hans, holding up a beef steak bone, “yaw, dat ish gotrt.” Pat.—“An is it mate yer ating on a Friday?” Hans .--(Biting off a large'chunk,) “Caw, dat ish goot beef.” Pat. —“Ye blazing heretic ! would yc ate mate ‘ agin the Pope ?” And seizing his “Masonic” uten sil, (a trowel,) he dealt Hans a blow on the head with it, and a general muss ensued. Pat finally destroyed the “mate the heretic whs ating,” and established the faith and gave the German a regu lar pounding—for which Pat appeared this morn ing to answer the chage. He was fined $lO, which he paid, thus destroying all hope of a Christmas dinner, and Friday fish for a month to come.—Buf falo Hep. The Eleventh Commandment. — At the an nual exhibition of the Grammar Schools of Boston, the Hon. Edward Everett closed an admirable speech with the following anec dote : The celebrated Archbishop Usher was in his youngest days, wrecked on she Coast of Ireland, at a place where his person and char acter Were alike unknown. (Stripped of every thing, he wandered to the house of a dignita ry of the Church, in search of shelter and re lief, craving assistance as a brother clergyman. The dignitary, struck with his squalid appear ance after the wreck, distrusted his tale, and doubted his character, and said that, so far from being a clergyman, he did not believe he could tell how many commandments there were. “I can at once satisfy you,” said the Arch bishop, “that I am not the ignorant imposter you take me for. There are eleven command ments ” This answer confirmed the dignitary in his suspicions, and he replied with a sneer, “In deed, there are but ten commandments in my Bible ; tell- me the eleventh, and I will relieve you.” “Here it is,” said the Archbishop, “Anew commandment I give unto yon, that ye love one another.” A person who was recently catted! rrt Cos court, for the purpose of proving the correctness of a doctor’s bttP was asked by the lawyer whether the doctor did not make several visits after the patient was Out of danger? “No” replied the witness, “I considered the patient in danger as longas the doctor continued his visits-” Progress of Abolitionism. At this time, when we have but recently been informed how oar friends; and tlie friends of the Constitution, have been stricken down in the fight by an unsciffipitlbus majority; and how a party, avowedly hdstile tB us and our institutions, has finally triumphed in the popular branch of may we recnr to the rise and progress of that sentiment which now controls a high department of our Government and threatens the peace of an en tire section of the country. It was in the yeas lßss that Systematic at tacks were first made lipdri the peculiar insti tutions of the fcoutb, with thexiew of disturb ing the existing relations between its two ra ces. Before that time, ifi Consequence of the financial tendency of the Northern mind, there had .sprung up a feeling of hostility to African slavery, but this did not exhibit itself ill ac tion until a later period. Finally; however, abolition societies were organized,- abolition presses established and abolition lecturers sent forth to fan the rising flame’ fanaticism. Then began with the warfare of o lit’ section which is still continued. Next earrte petitions to Congress from the North to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia, and to prohibit the ‘internal slave trade’ between the States. The position having been received, the work of agitation commenced in earnest, and the band of fanatics grew gradully stronger. We next find them controling several of the North ern Legislatures, and bringing about the ab rogation , in effect, of that clause of the Con stitution which provides for the delivery of fugitive slaves. Next they call upon Congress to abolish slavery in all places where that body has exclusive power of legislation. Then followed petitions and audicious resolutions of popular assemblages as well as legislative bodies to exclude southern members of the confederacy from newly acquired territory, and to prevent the admission of any more slave States in the Union. In the meantime, that party originally small in number, was growing in strength and influ ence, and has continued to grow until now it exerts a controlling influence over the North ern masses, The sentiment of anti-slavery is indeed instilled into the minds, and lodged in the very hearts if the Northern people. It is preached from the pulpit,and furnishes texts for political sermons It is taught in schools, and affords objects for youthful declamation It eminat.es from the chair of the professor, and offers themes for grave discourses. It per vades both legislative and executive councils, and has evert effected judicial decisions. It has called into beiug a large and powerful and dominant party. And lastly, it has entered the halls of the United States House of Rep resentatives, find occupied the Speaker’s chair. Such has been the progress of fanaticism up to this time, and who can doubt that unless opposed by some effective measure, it will con tinue to move on to the accomplishment of its fell purposes. And now, we would ask, how long will the southern States remain passive under such unmistakable evidences of a deter mination on the part of the North to drive them to humiliation and ruin ? Will they continue to seek redress in resolutions, in pledges, in threats, in unmeaning conventions? Will they defer a close union among them selves until abolitionism shall enter the Sen ate hall, and rise to the Presidential chair?— Notv that the House of Representatives is ab litionized and under tlie control of their bitter enemies, Will not the imperilled States of the South draw near together in close fellowship? Now that the common dangei threatened them, will not the voice of action be hushed within their borders, and wliigs, democrats, and Americans all unite to form one pafty— the party of the South and the Constitution? Let us have this consummation so devoutly to be wished for, and the Southern States shall become strong. Then, like the barons of England in similar circumstances, shall they be able to demand their rights under the mag na charla of tlie land, or failing to secure these, to dissolve their connexion with a hos tile and lawless section. Glorious, indeed, according to our views, would be the results of Southern Union Let this measure but be perfected, and we will have attained political ly, the ‘one thing needful ’ Strength and con fidence shall then succeed to doubt and weak ness, and we of the South be able to ‘go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart?— Southcarolian. A Railroad Law is up before the New Jersey Legislature similar in features to the law now bier.g discussed by the Pennsylvania Legisla tnre._ It provides for the creation of an officer of roailroad companies,- to be called a train Guard; charged with the special duty of watching over the safety of trains. It makes It unlawful tor persons to cross railroads when an engine is near. It limits the amount of damages which maybe recovered in cases of death by accident to SSOOO for each person killed- It makes railroad employees, causing death by negligence or mismanagement,, guilty of manslaughter. General Walker’s Early Love.—Wc find the subjoined episode in the early life of the Nicara guan hero in an exchange paper f The history of General Walker,like that of all other men of mark, is not free from the romance of love jls well as war. Whilst a law student in New Orleans, he conceived a warm attachment for a Very interesting young lady, who was born deaf and dumb.,; She had been Well educated, and was of very engaging manners. Her misfortune drew towards her the sympathies and regard of all tender hearted persons. With his characteristic OTigitmlity and peculiarity of feeling and sentiment- Watkef became warmly enamored of this young lady. She reciprocated his regard, and for some time they were never happy unless together. He soon acquired a knowledge Ofher sigfis, atid they conversed with great facility, the medium of their convention, no doubt, adding best to their enjoy, ment. At last, some slight misunderstanding inter rupted their intercourse, and before a reconciliation could be effected, the young lady died. This event gave a tinge of melancholy to the thoughts and character of Walker. Perhaps, as many of his friends thought, it produced the great change in his character which ensued—a change frofn the quiet, modest student, to the bold, daring, daunt less revolutionist and warrior. ■; Th* M exican Drafts. —According t 6 the Washington Star, Alomonte, the Mexican Minister, has received instructions to raise the protest of his Goverinent against the payment of the drafts of the late Government of that country against the last instalment of the treaty of the Mesilla, due to sundry citizens of the United States for moneys actually advanced.
