The Savannah Georgian notices approv
ingly the recent order of tho Superintendent
of the State Road, prohibiting agents from
receiving the bills of any banks except such
as aTe payable in Savannah, Augusta or
Charleston. We expected to see tho press
of those cities amiably patting Mr. Cooper’s
back for thus prostituting the State Road
to purposes of favoritism towards their own
banking institutions to the detriment and in
jury of other reliable specie paying banks.
This is one of the rewards for his palpable
abase of his office. Outside of the favored
cities, however, this unjust discrimination

Congress.—So little business of interest
has thus for been done in Congress that it
is almost useless to publish the detailed ac
count of the daily proceedings. The custom
of letting the real practical business of tho
short session go by the board until after tho
holidays, has come to be so generally obser
ved at Washington, that any variation from
so pleasant a usage to members is not expee
ted. It is to be hoped, however, that
when the New Year fairly commences, tho
members will begin to feel the propriety of
putting their shoulders to the wheel of legis
lation and attending to the great and im
portant interests of the country to promote
which they are sent to Washington.
fggf Considerable excitement was occa
sioned in New York on Wednesday by the
arrival of a vessel from Antwerp, having
on board one hundred and fifty paupers and
twelve convicts, all of whom had been sent
thither by the Belgian government. The
convicts were immediately arrested and
placed in prison until seme provision can
be made for sending'them back to Belgian.

i years ago, serving on a farm in a menial

He was laughed at for wasting his hard

and, in a country where no food can be ob

be critical in the extreme. Hence the Crimea

at Eapatoria, the Russian commander was
almost taken by surprise. His whole avail
able forces in the Crimea amounted only to
some 25,000 men, including the garrison of
Sebastopol. Reinforcements, however, could !
be brought up in a fortnight’s time, and,
provided a sufficient delay could be obtain
ed, Sebastopol and the Crimea were safe.—
In Prince Menschikoff's despatch sent to
St. Petersburgh before the battle of the Al
ma, the plan of the campaign was distinct
ly laid down. lie was to hold the allies in
check by a series of engagements, retreat
ing, if unsuccessful, on the city. There he
expected to receive the powerful aid of Li-
prandi’s division. But if this, from any un
foreseen accident, did not arrive, and he
found it impossible to defend Sebastopol
with the force under his command, he in
tended to blow up the forte, sink the ships,
and hold off until, with an increased army,
he could offer the enemy battle with hopes
of success. Pursuant to this plan a skir
mish first took place near Eupatoria, in
which the Russians lost 1,500 men, occa
sioned chifly by the guns of the allied ves- j
sels. This affair has been scarcely noticed j
in the reports we have received. At Alma, |

The jury in the case of Arrison, charged ,^hat the army shall be made ready for war,
but he refrains from indicating the course
which Prussia will adopt. Meantime, the
Berlin papers publish a dispatch from the
Baron Von Mantueffel, Nor. 15, to the Am
bassador at Vienna, expressing the deter
mination of the Prussian Government not
to demand from Russia any concession be-
i yond the four points. It is indeed stated,
! but should be received with caution, that at
! a Council held on the 6th, the King of Prus-

trenchments. It is stated that several hun
dred Russian wagons, laden with provisions
and amunition, were overtaken by a snow
storm, and lost, and that at present there
are only provisions in Sebastopol for four
teen weeks.
Prince Menschikoff states that on the 24th
the fire of the allies had become very feeble.
But a dispatch from Constantinople states
that the bombardment had been renewed.
The Allies were surrounded and protected
by an enormous circumvallation, consisting
of curtain i with advanced bastions and im
mense earth works in triple lines.
Flags of truce had passed between the
Generals, and it was agreed to change Dun-
kellen, by desire of the Czar, for a Russian
Captain.
A Telegraphic dispatch, dated at Vienna
on the 7th, says that the reinforcements to
the number of 9,000 men bad reached the
Crimea. The Duke of Cambridge was ex
pected at Constantinople. Admiral Ilame-
lin has resigned the command of the French
fleet in the Black Sea, and has returned to
France.
A dispatch from Bucharest of the 6th,
says that 40,000 Turks and one hundred
guns will be embarked at Baltschilk and
Varna the week after, for the Crimea. One
remains at Bucharest. Danish Bey repla
ces Mnssa Pasha as commandant. Mussa
superintends the embarkation. Omcr Pasha
will leave in a few days. This is consider
ed doubtful.
Three more ships are ordered home from
the Baltic, and about the 10th itirt., the re-
maider will leave. Admiral Napier has ob
tained leave to return direct.
Russian Guards and Grenadiers are ad

Two additional battalions are added to the

calls upon the President to proffer the bel
ligerent powers the impartial and friendly
meditation of our government. It will be
remembered that Russia proffered her medi

culties between the United States and Eng
land, and that it was accepted on our
part.

with the 46th Regiment and a cargo valued
at £500,000, and indispensably necessary
for the prosecution of the siege and the
comfort of the army. The loss of tho Prince
seems to have been partly owing to the neg
ligence of her officers. When she arrived
at Balaklava she let go one of her anchors
in thirty fathoms water. It appears that
the cable had never been clinched, and the
whole of it ran out; anchor and cable were
lost together. She then let go the anchor, the
cable of which was so inefficiently fastened
that she lost this also. She then steamed out
to sea until she could get up another cable
from the hold, and at last let go a smaller
anchor, with which she rode until the tem
pest broke upon her on Tuesday morning.
An eye-witness saw her carried from her
moorings on to the rocks with such force
that in ten minutes there was hardly a piece
a yard long remaining. She might almost
be said to go to powder. Of a crew of 150
only 6 were saved. This splendid vessel of
2,700 tons was purchased by Government
some time since, and sent out full of most
valuable munitions of war. Everything is
lost. With the exception of the troops, ev

was dashed on the rocks. The whole of the

existed. The latter were, with not uncom

If it’s politics you mean,
Everything by turns I’ve been—
I havo been a locofoco,

And freo-soiler.

—That will do.
Brother renegade, I greet yon
Joyed I am as such to meet you.

And can you on occasion lie?

And havo you a capacious swallow f *
Don’t you beliove that some years hence

Don’t you believe the Romish priests
Aro sworn to slaughter us like beasts ?
That all tho Irish arms aro hiding
In all the shanties they abide in ?
That all the Irish girlB combine
To purchase arsenic and strychnine?
That in know-nothings lies our hope
To fight the Devil and the Pope ?

Now lift the bone and cleaver high in air
And full obedience to our order swear.

The ordeal’s past—and you I here proclaim
A know-nothing in intellect and name.
Around you see a band of brothers true—
None of these honest men know more than you.
From different parties they have fallen away,
And now go in for plunder and for prey ;
Like you, thoy’re bound our load to blindly fob

Like you, they have a most capacious swallow;
They bolt whatever prodigy we name—

The grip is this—you’ll get it in a minute;
I Then yon must shakeyour head—there’s nothing
in it!
Next a wise look—for wisdom's our profession—
A good stuffed owl will aid you in expression—
Minerva’s bird and ours—no soaring lark—
Bat ono that goes a mousing in the dark.
But lo! the night is verging into day—
Freobdrn Americans! let’s sneak away
Down the backstairs, and then wo’ll cut and run,
Aud vanish through dark alleye, one by one—
Fancy you've robbed a hen-roost and tread light,
Then will your skulking gait befit your flight.

Astounding Mail Robbery.—Wo have
already mentioned that a man named Stone
had been arrested at Elmira, N, Y„ on the
charge of robbing the mail. It appears that
an old man named Gates had the contract
to convey the mail to and from the cars, and
that he allowed his son, a wild and frolic
some youth, to handle the bags. This youth,
it is alleged, conspired with Stone, who was
employed in a livery stable, and perpetrated
a series of robberies for a year past, throw
ing the rifled bags into a privy. The Mew
York Sun says;
“ Stone, it appears, thought ho ha d made
money enough in this way, came to New
York, engaged a partner, and was going in
to business with a very fine cash capital.—
Ho made Gates, his drinking accomplice,
promise when he left to rob no more mails,
but Gates, getting short, undertook a ‘bag 1
on his own hook one night, and either being
drunk or interrupted, left letters scattered
about the privy, which being found by chil
dren next day, were reports to the post
master. The privy was searched, and from
its vaults were fished up sixteen mail bags
and any quantity of letters. In one bag
was found a $30,000 draft. In another,
$4,000 in money overlooked. Gates got but
$4,000 in the bag he robbed, and left some
$1,000 in it. Gates confessed all. Stone
denies everything.
