Wash, ington Banner. THE REPUBLICAN. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1849 Having been absent during the whole time that Hie matter was preparing for number of our paper, it is not of that original, varied, and in ttructive character that we desire we are, howev. er, again upon the tripod, and shall hereafter de vote our whole time to our columns. Alabama We believe that there is quite a number of the distinguished citizens of Alabama now at Muni.

gomery, all, of course, burning with patriotism and perfectly willing that they should be pressed inlo the public service, and sent on to the city of asuiugton, to serve in the capacity of United Slates Senators. Fitzpatrick is there, George 8 Houston is there, and so is Col. King, the latter as smiling as a basket of chips. Davy Hubbard is also there, but whether he wants to jump out of the ITouse into the Senate or not, we do not know; perhaps he would not refuse if the honor was forced upon him. It is also said that Jo.

Ackland and Clemens would like to travel eastward, and it is hinted that Col. Martin, of Benton, would not absolutely refuse to go in that direction at the be. ginning of the next month if his party thought it advisable. They are all now in Montgomery, end the latter a member of the Senate. We are glad to see that the able Senator from Barbour, Mr.

Buford, is again acting in full fel lowship with the whig party. This is what we have alwajs expected from him, notwithstanding the abuse he has received from some whigs, and the inuendoes of some democrats. He is deter mined not to be driven off by the one, nor led off by the other. His natural position is with the whigs, and we are' glad to perceive that he is maintaining it. 4 The members of the two Houses of the Legisla ture assembled in their respective chambers ou Monday at 11 o'clock.

TheSenate tvasorganfeed by the election of General Dennis Dent, (whig) of Tuscaloosa, to the Presidency without opposi. lion. J. F. Marrast (democrat) was re-elected Secretary, W.

M. Kidd (whig) Assistant Secretary, and McMillan (dem.) Door-keeper. In the House of Representatives, General L. P. Walker was elected Speaker, Without opposition, and A.

B. was elected Clerk; Cooper, (whig) of Cherokee, Assistant Clerk, and Jimmy Uvrens, Door-keeper. Green, the incumbent at the fast session, was re-elected Engrossing Clerk. Having organized, and appointed the usual committees to wait on the Governor, the two Houses adjourned. Editors are decidedly in bad odour at Montgomery, the editor of this paper, and Massey, of the Clarke County Recorder, were both beaten on last Monday, the former for Principal Secretary of the Senate, and the latter for Assistant Secretary.

Jonce Hooper, of the Chambers Tribune, had better look o.ut. At 12 o'clock on Tuesday, the Governor sent in bis annual message to the two Houses. After eulogizing Mr. Poik, the Governor goes on to discuss the financial condition of the State, and to give a statement of its Ways and Means, its probable resources and expenditures for the coming two years. He recommends that the reporting of the decisions of the Supreme Court be provided for in a manner different from the present That the pavment of the State Bonds be exten dedj That the State take stock in works of internal improvement, and that a Board of Internal Improvement be established; That an Assyluin for the deaf, dumb, and blind, be established That a professorship of Agriculture in the State University be created And then the Governor brauches off upon the eubject of slavery in California.

We shall give the whole or a part of the Governor's Message next week. 3T We have been requested to invite the friends and patrons of the Female Institute to attend the examination of the classes in Penmanship at the Institute on to-morrow, (Friday the 16th,) at 9 o'clock A.

The following new mode of raising rice we get Horn the "Chambers (Lalayette) Tri bune." We are glad that the article of rice is coming into more extensive cultivation in this section of Alabama. It is an excellent substitute for bread, potatoes, and is, indeed, one ol the staffs of life Mr.

J. R. Alford of this vicinity, informed us, a short time since, that last spring he scattered a quart of rice seed, on a slip of creeK bottom, and over it about a half bushel of corn; and then turned some hogs upon it, They eat the corn and rooted in the rice, The yield from this seeding and it was never afterwards touched, 'till gathered was five bushels. Our County should raise a sutliciency of this valuable grain, to make it abundant and of every day use, among our larmers, as an article of tood. Singulab.

We find the following singular statement in one of our exchanges Mr. Rodgers, the "Stammering Tragedi-diaii," as he is called, has been engaged, at me Arcn street (rnilailelphia) theatre. Mr, Kodgers is described in the Philadelphia meoing Bulletin, as afflicted with a most ex crucial ins impediment of speech in conver- sation and yet, upon the stage, his diction is nuent and unimpeded. There is no hesi lation, no irregular pauses, nothing to show that he is not one of the most gified in the use and facility of language. Those who witness his easy and eloquent progress in his professional efforts only, cannot be made to realize the terrible condition into which he thrown by a simple attempt to converse in the street.

Under the benign influence of ihe present Whig Administration, the country, we sin cerely believe, is destined to attain a degree ol prosperity unequalled in its previous histo ry An attentive observer cannot fail lo perceive, that an unwonted degree of confidence already pervades Ihe commercial clas ses of the country confidence in Ihe wisdom of the men who now have Ihe direction ofna lional affairs confidence in their ability to devise and carry out a series of measures which shall redound to Ihe solid benefit of the whole people, and confidence in their steudiuess ot purpose, unswerving integrity and rigid accountability.

The mercantile classes have every assurance that tho line of policy which may be adopted by theadminis (ration of Gen. Taylor will be rigidly adhered to. The knowledge of this truth may be re garded as the glimpses ot prosperity which are already dawning upon Ihe land. 1 he credit of the Government, at home as well as in the money markets on the Conti nent of Europe, is belter now than it has been at any prior period 111 the history of Ihe Government, and the policy of the "Man of rcace now at Ihe helm ol affairs, will have a tendency to increase confidence in Ihe stability of our institutions. He will not embroil the nation in unrighteous and unconstitutional contests with foreign States.

He will not saddle future generations with the payment of public debt, contracted in the pro secution of such contests. All his ends will be for his country's good. 1 wo important interests of the country. however, do not share the general prosperi ty. We allude to Coal and Iron.

Under Ihe present Tariff, these interests have been ruinously affected.

This will no doubt be done, and an imnetus be Ihus given to those interests, which will be called to develop our boundless resources and increase the national wealth. It has been well said, thai Ihe true elements of every nation's strength, greatness and safety, lie in their own labour, their own internal resour ces, and the exercise of their own inventive powers.

Thisgieat truth is made more and more apparent every day, and is beginning lo be recoguised even in the South. The true policy of the Government will be to fos. ter agriculture andbe mechanical arts, and affiiid proper protection to home manufacturers. liichmond Times. Plank Road Meeting.

AWFUL TRAGEDY. St. Louis, Oct. 30, 1849. An awful tradegy occured last evening at Barnuin's Hotel, the particulars of which are as fullows: Some few days siuce two young French gentlemen, calling themselves Gon zales de Montesquiand Count Raimond de Montesqui, arrived in this city, from Chicago, and look lodgings at Barnuin's Hotel, stating that they were on a bunting excursion through the West.

Nothing particular was observed in their manner until last evening, when about 11 o'clock, as Mr. Barnum, nephew of Hie proprietor, and J. J. Macomber. steward of the house, were retiring to one of the French gentlemen came lo the window oii the gallery and lapped lightly ou the same.

Mr. Barnum pushed Ihe curtain one side, when ihe man outside fired a gun, ihe ball from which passed through Mr. Barnum and two buckshot lodged in the arm of Macomber.

ANOTHER WAR IN EUROPE. Nearer, and more hopeful grows the pros pect of another war in Europe. Hopeful, wc say, because there is a foul canker preying upon the nations there, which can only be cut out by the sword. Cauterizing has been tried and has failed and the sooner the sharp steel js applied, Ibe sooner will the oppressed and groaning people be released from their bondage.

Hopeful, wc say, because the war which now threatens, lies between nations which have provoked and earned a bloody 9courge, for (heir base aggressions upon, and desertions of weak, trampled, and imploring nations. The coming war lies between Russia and Turkey, or Russia and France and England rather, and the grisly Northern bear will find that his foes, this time, have as sharp claws, and as many, as he. Turkey will be but the battle ground on which the Czar will dispute with Britons and Gauls for the mastery of Europe. it Will be a choice and rare fight, and the world will look on and cry to either side hit him again! for who will care if both are bruised to helplessness, and their heart's content, so long as neither is an absolute victor. And what will the hosts of the Cau- cassus, and ol I'olaud, and ot Hungary do, while this battle between the old "bottle- holders" is going on?

He read the address lo the Convention, remarking that "if Zachary Taylor, in view of his wickedness and oppression, had been met rebukes and railings, instead of cheers and rejoicings, he would have been induced lo abolish slavery, not only on bis own plantation, but also in other places." We have no idea that President Taylor would have beeu received by the people of in any other than a respectful manner, and we are confident that ihey would not have permitted Mr. Garrison lo address him in language so exceedingly offensive as.
