Banks Elected Speaker. The following telegraphic dispatch from Washing ton announces the election of Banks, Speaker of the House. Wonder how the caucus and collar Democ racy feel who refused several times to unite with any party or parties to place a conservative man in the chair? Now let them “spout” under the directions of their black-hearted Ruler. “W ashington, Feb. 2.—lt was agreed to-day that plurality vote should go into effect, after three unsuc cessful ballots. On the first ballot, Banks had 102, Aiken 93, Fuller 14, and scatter'ng 5. At the ter mination of the third ballot, the plurality vote was adopted by a majority of 9, and Mr. Orr withdrew his name as the nominee of the Democratic caucus. A ballot was then taken, and Banks had 103, Aiken 100, Fuller 6, Campbell 4, and Wells 1. The Clerk declared Banks elected, and, on motion of Mr. Cling inan, a resolution was adopted declaring Mr. Banks Speaker, and Messrs. Aiken, Fuller and Campbell conducted him to the Chair, when he made a speech and the House adjourned.” Death of Hon. A. J. Miller. We learn that this distinguished Statesman died at his residence in Augusta, about eight o’clock Sunday morning last. We clip the following commentary from the Chronicle 3k Sentinel: “Little did we imagine, when we penned the para graph Saturday evening, announcing the extreme ill ness, that we should be so soon required to perform the melancholy duty of chronicling the death of the Hon. Andrew J. Miller. Yet it is true, a sad, op pressive truth. He died about 8 o’clock Sunday morning. The loss of such a man, so universally be loved and esteemed, and of such great usefulness in all the relations of life, public and private, is a great calamity to the city of Augusta and the State at large. But we have not time to say more now. At our request, a gentleman whose distinguished abili ty, and whose long and intimate acquaintance with, and devoted friendship for the deceased, eminently fit him for the melancholy task, has penned a more extended and appropriate notice of our esteemed fel low-citizen and friend, which will appear in the morning.” Dentistry. We woald say to the citizens of Penfield and vi cinity that Dr. Coe will take Rooms in town on Mon day, 11th inst., tendering his services professionally to all who may des're work done, pertaining to his line of business.

We were informed a few days since, by a truthful and honorable citizen of our county, residing near our village, that the weather has been so cold that the blue-birds about his residence, dropped dead from the trees, his children gathered up laps full of them. Job Office. Persons wishing Job Printing done, must address J. T. Blairi, —see his card. The proprietor of this paper has nothing to do with that department. Destructive Fire in Augusta. About 12 o’clock Sunday night a fire broke out in the city of Augusta, and continued its ravages some three horn’s. About 25 buildings, large and small, were consumed. The fire originated in an unten . anted building, and the general impression is, that it was the work of an incendiary. The Peace Proposals. The following, as given by the London Globe, are the propositions which have been submitted to the Russian Court, through Count Esterhazy, and which have been received as the basis of Negotiations. The rumor that they had been unconditionally accepted is false, they are received only as the basis of Negotiation, but the general impression is, that they will result favorably: 1. Complete abolition of the Russian protectorate over the Principalities; those provinces to receive an organization suited to their own condition, respect ing which their population would be consulted; such constitution to emanate from the initiative of the Sul tan, with the cognizance of the Powers. A rectifi cation of the Russian frontier with European Tur key, following the line of mountains from Chotym to Lake Sasik, completely removing the boundary back ward from the Danube. 2. Surrender of the Danube mouth to a Syndicate, representing the European governments. 3. Neutralization of the Black Sea, by closing it against all armed ships, opening it to all merchant ships; naval arsenals being neither constructed nor maintained. A naval police to be maintained by Russia and Turkey under a separate convention, but with the cognizance of the Powers. 4. New securities and guarantees for the religious and political rights of the Christian subjects of the Porte, to be granted by the sultan on deliberation with Austria, France and Great Britain. Russia to be invited, after the peace, to join in these delibera tions. 5. Right reserved to the belligerent Powers to bring forward particular conditions beyond the four k guarantees. Mr. Toombs in Boston. Senator Toombs has been’ to Boston and fulfilled his appointment to deliver a lecture on Slavery; it was much better received than was at first supposed it would be. He threw among those black-hearted fanatics some tough bones to gnaw; his argument -was able and conclusive, and would have been a con vincing one, had it been addressed to unprejudiced hearers. Several attempts were made to hiss him, during his lecture, but they were instantly drowned by bursts of approbation from the majority. While he was defending the justice and constitutionality of the Fugitive Slave Law, several hisses from different parts of the Temple were heard, which were receiv ed (says a reporter) with the utmost self-possession :and coolness by the Hon. Senator. “Gentlemen,” &aid he, in an impressive manner, “you may hiss your constitution if you wish, but you do not now hiss me. Go and put your curses where they be long, if you choose —upon the fathers of your coun try. We come here to speak of the constitution, and there are enough here and in the country to protect it.” (Loud applause.) We copy the following complimentary notice of the lecture from the N. Y. Express: Senator Toombs’ pro-slavery lecture in Boston on Thursday evening, was received —as well as could be expected there, and somewhat better. He was, ’ in his mode and manner, much calmer, and cooler than in his excited harangues in Congress, or on the Georgia stump —and logical and demonstrative at times, thus producing a powerful effect upon the Boston mind. There were no new views put forth to men who have studied the Constitution and the African question, but the views were new and fresh to masses of his hearers, who never before heard the Southern side. The lecture, in this respect, will do great good, and it is a great pity it could not be heard everywhere. Mr. Toombs, except Mr. Houston, is the only one o£ the Southern men who has had the pluck to go into an anti-slavery camp, and talk loud there of “the Constitution,” “the Laws,” and the races, African and American, that must live together, in the United States. Other Southern men, not afraid to face Bos tonians, perhaps, have been afraid to face a Southern opinion at home, which favois not the discussion of the negro question abroad. Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama, seems to have been bluffed off. Gov. Wise, of Va., dare not come. It is doubtful whether Senator But ler ofS. C., will comply with his quasi engagement. The two Appletons, of Boston, William and Na than, both ex-M. C.’s, appeared on the platform with Mr. Toombs. The lecturer was welcomed as a stran ger, with decisive and demonstrative applause, and when a single hiss was quacked out, it was drowned in bursts of approbation. The hospitalitf of Boston was stronger than, all its prejudices. Three cheers, not unmixed with dissent, were given at the close, and someone cried, “How long before Charles Sum ner will thus be permitted to speak South?” The impression is, that if Toombs, and other hot-heads like him, would lecture in Syracuse, Oswego, Ashta bula, and other parts of Africa, they would do a great deal of good, in educating the innocent, and in being themselves educated, and freed from their froth, fire, fury and folly. F. M. Haygood. The above named gentleman has changed his res idence from Marietta to Atlanta. The city may compliment itself upon the acquisition of so worthy a citizen. Georgia News Condensed.

One of the parties who went to the North to obtain funds to pay the pur chase money, has not been heard from recently, and the other party has gone in search of the missing one. What accident may have happened, or what can be the cauS2 of the absence, are questions for ■ time to unravel. From our Correspondent. Milledgeyille, Feb. 2, 1856. Since my last, the House has been engaged in con sidering appropriations for the Medical Colleges at Savannah and Atlanta, and the Botanic College, all of which were rejected. The friends of the bills struggled long and hard, but it seemed to be the opinion of the House, that Doctor Factories needed no further encouragement. Several bills for the education of our children have been before the House, but all rejected. Mr. Stiles brought forward a plan, and sustained it by a long written speech or essay, but it was rejected by a large majority. By way of salvo, a thousand copies of his essay was ordered to be printed. His plan was not practical. It had much learning, and a pret ty thick sprinkling of nonsense. There is a strong feeling among the members to do something upon this mattei - . All are impressed with the importance of educating all our children, but the difficulty is, how shall it be done? Our population is so sparse, that the northern system cannot be made practical with us. There are several bills before the Senate upon the subject of Common Schools, and I yet hope that something reliable will be done. The House is at present engaged upon the bill that passed the Sen ate, by a majority of two votes, giving what is called State Aid to the Brunswick and Florida Rail Road. The bill simply means that the State shall give to the Company its bonds for the sum of six thousand dollars for every mile of the road that shall be built, after the first twenty miles. The bill, if passed, will increase the State debt nearly two millions of dollars. If the interest or principal is not paid, the State can proceed against the company and stockholders, and if they should prove insolvent, the State has got the bag to hold—that is, pay the money. The bill has met with fierce and able opposition, both in the Sen ate and House. Judge Cone made one of his ablest efforts against the bill. If the bill is finally passed) it will be brought about by combinations that are far from reflecting credit upon many of the members.— To a person that supposes that all votes are cast sole- ly in reference to the public good, if he could witness the scenes that pass here, he would conclude that many of the members, instead of representing the people, represent Banks, Rail Roads that want State aid, alias the money of the State, and various other Institutions that are trying to break into the Treasury. The Senate has so modified Judge Cone’s bill to reduce the members of the Legislature, that it don’t look like the same ‘animal.’ They have rejected all, except annual sessions. There was a decided ma jority against reduction of the members in any shape. All admit the necessity of reduction, but a large ma jority want to come back, and they see that if reduc tion is had, their part is a private station. That is the difficulty, and it may be set down as a fixed fact, that the Senate never will pass a bill reducing its own members. If it is ever done, it must be by a Convention. Judge Cone’s bills in relation to the Limitation of Suits and Attaclrments, and Garnishments, have passed the Senate with some immaterial amendments. These bills make certain and clear the law upon these subjects, and will save much litigation. The attach ment bill embraces the whole law upon the subject, and renders the whole proceedings so plain and sim ple, that no person of ordinary intelligence need err in instituting proceedings. • Some resolutions from Vermont, in relation to Slavery, were communicated to the Senate by the Governor, in a long and able message. Much dis cussion took place, and a good deal of saltpetre and brimstone, and other things of a killing nature, were paraded, but it all peaceably evaporated by the Sen ate passing a resolution that the Governor should return to the Legislature of Vermont, their docu ments, without note or comment. Judge Cone’s resolutions have not yet been acted upon, but they meet with the entire approbation of the American party in the Legislature, and a large portion of the Democrats. The only words that are opposed by any of the Democracy, are “to unite, to meet, and to nominate,” in the second resolution.— Some think, or pretend to think, tha‘ the}’ imply a cenfhre upon those members of Congress that have voted for Richardson. It is not easy to make such a construction, and I believe the only real objection is that the resolutions did not come from the Demo cratic party. I see that some of the American party presses do not seem to like the resolutions. I think they cannot understand them. They do not endorse the President’s Administration, but only his message.

The following is an extract in relation to them, taken from the New Haven Palladium: ‘‘•Volcanic Repeating Pistol. —We have seen and fired a pistol, recently invented and patented, which hids fair to excel everything as yet offered in that line to the public attention. Tt seems to combine all that could be desired in such a weapon. Colt’s pis tol, compared with it, seems like a distortion, or a clumsy, uncouth and ridiculous affair for a fire-arm. The Volcrnic Pistol carries a tninie or conical ball in a rifle barrel, and will put it through a throe-inch plonk at a distance of ninety rods. The receiving tube will hold twelve ball cartridges, which may be deposited in two seconds of time. The pistols may be discharged thirty times in fifty seconds. Tt is so contrived that it is not liable to accidental discharge. There is no priming, no caps, and, therefore, no dan ger to the eyes from ignition near the breach. Neith er is there any recoil so as to jar the arm or disturb a sure aim. The whole construction is so simple as not to get out of order even from long use. The pow der and ball are enclosed in the same metalic cover, so that a person might swim a river with one of these in his belt without the slightest degree injuring tlie powder. In short, the weapon is in all respects one of the most perfect things in the shooting line that we ever took into our hands.” small lot just received and for sale at the MADISON BOOK STORE.

Feb 2 4 Beautiful Assortment of Valentines! lifts, 1856._J^ I HAVE just received from New York, Balti more, and Philadelphia, the most extensive as sortment of Valentines evgr offered in this place, and every thing connected with them, such as Writers, Verses, Envelopes, Lace Paper, &c., and am prepar ed to fill orders, Wholesale or Retail, at prices from five cents to twenty dollars. J have invoked Venus, the goddess of beauty and love, and her darling Cupid, and they have gracious ly chosen for their retreats the Madison Book Store, stid have commissioned* their friend, Benjamin G. Liddon, as high priest of love, courtship and marri mony. “The world is full of poetry —the air Is living with its spirit; and the waves Dance to the music of its-melodies And sparkle in its brightness.” This spirit of poetry arouses our loftier train of af fections, which are borne upon the gilded wings of Cupid’s messenger, in the form of a, Valetine, to some fata- friend breathing the pure sentiments of friend ship, esteem, and all the kindlier regards for those to •wifcom we donate. It may, perchance, be received with silent approval, told only by the fair face, “Where eloquent blushes burn and fade, “ Rich with the wealth of warm emotion ; Or starry dimples mock the-shade, Bike jewels in a restless ocean.” Yaieatines are the ambassadors of thought, where language fails. They substitute, in glowing eloquence, She reading of the heart, by their symbolic meaning. Faithful to my trust, as a se vant of the public I am doing all in my power to further the interests of those youths and maidens who are suffering from an affection of the heart. To all, of every age, and of •every rank in life, I offer specific that has never failed. Such is the wonderful power of the Valen tines sold by me, as a philanthropist and conservator •of the tender passions, that none make love without sending one as a pioneer. BENJ. G. LIDDON.

IOFFEB FOB SALE, th; valuable TRACT of LAND, lying on Beaver-darn Creek, in Ilan- I cock county, readily recognized as having recently | belonged to R. Burnley, Esq. It contains 1050 acres, 1 more or less, about 150 cleared, the rest in the woods, and I hazzard nothing in saying, that some of this land is as good as any to he found in the county.— There are about 200 acres oak and hickory land, well adapted to the growth of corn and cotton. But to any one wishing to engage in the Lumber business, this place offers rare inducements. There is a good SAW MILL, with excellent water privileges on the premises, and by a small outlay in fixing up the dam, any one of industry may soon realize the amount paid for tiw place. There are also, two sets of Mill Stones, which is an inducement to auy one wishing to erect a Grist Mill. A good framed House with several Negro Cabins stand near by, for the ac commodation of a miller and hands. The market for lumber is good. The mill is two miles from Powelton, ten from Sparta, and six from Mayfield. Public reads pass by the the mill to each of these places, which bring them in direct commu nication. The route surveyed for the Rail Road from Warrenton and Milledgeville is but a short distance from the line of the land, and if it is built, will make the tract almost invaluable. 1 wish to sell the whole in a body, hut if desired, will sell in parcels to suit purchasers. Several elligible building sites, with good Springs, make a division quite practicable. As I am too far re : oved to make these lands avail able, my residence being in the Southern portion of the State, I am determined to sell, and I promise any one in want of such a place, that by applying to me early, at Perry, Ga., they shall have a bargain, eith er for their own use or for speculation.
