'!n the Senate Mr. Griffin, from the ; inittee on incorporations, report. back the bill to amend the charter 'Of the South Carolina Conference, re +ammending its passage. 1'. Barnes, from th military committee, reported a resolution ap 3ipriating $10,000 for enlarging : Arsenal Academy. Mr. Carew reported that the joint sommittee of the two Houses recom. witnded the following gentlemen for . resident and Directors of the Bank .of the State : President.- C. M. Furman; Di eetors--Thomas J. Gantt, George Robertson, Geo. H. Walter, W. C. Dukes, J. P. DeVeaux, H. F. Stro beeker, Rice Dulin, R. G. Stone, P. M. Cohen, E. W. Matthews, E'isha Carson, Thomas Lehre. The following bills, in the general Miders, read to a second time, and or dered to the House for concurrence. A bill to amend the law in relation to managers of elections; A bill to incorporate the Charles son Building and Loan Association; A bill to incorporate the Florida Steam packet Company; A bill to incorporate the Calhoun Loan and Building Association. At 12 1.2 o'clock, pursuant to messages interchanged, the two , Houses proceeded to a ballet for mptroller General. After which Senate resumed the l orders; when, without dispos. f them. e special order was taken up, bill to renew the charters of banks and to provir' new motion peitdi~t "itn that of Mr. M1nzyetito strike out and insert; which was decided iu the Sgtive-yeas 16, nays 25. Mr. Mazyn then moved to strike eat the fifth section; which was con 4urred in-yeas 24, nays 16. Oq motion of Mr. Adams, the hill sud report was ordered to lie on the table. The committee appointed to count the votes for Comptroller General re ported that J. B. McCullyv had re deiced 132 votes, and was thereforo 4eted. After the transaction of some fur. ther business, the Senate adjourned to Monday. n the House, a large number of petitions and memorials were present ed this morning. A message was read from the Sen ate that that body insisted on refus ing to amend the message from the House, fixing 16th instant as day of adjournment. On motion of Mr. Memminger, the message was laid on the table, and a resolution adopted fxing Thursday, 18th instant as (lay of adjournment of the General As. sembly. Mr. Chesnut, from the committee w of the whole, which sat on Friday, re perted the bank 'A with amend mnts; which, togethe - with the bill to re-oharter the Blank of the State, on motion of Mr. HtL, wse male the' special order of thme day for Men dJiy, at 1 o'iclock. On motion of Mr. Ayer, the spo rQ 'order was called for, being the bill to fx the time for the meeting of the convention, together with sundry resolutions touching our federal relia tios. The House resolved itself in ts tomtnittee of the whole, Mr. Mem-. mninger in the chair. Mr. Ayer said: It is known chat it-was as the humble organ of the se. eession party,, appointed to that duty, I introduced the bill for assembling thme convention. [ had not intended, sir, to say one word on the subject of ifurther than to move for its pas stage. Nor do I now intend to dis cuss the bill; for I cannot conceive of even a plausibil objection to it. Skouldamy be made, I may hereafter erave the indulgence of the commit te t reply. I rise now simply to saysfow.*ords in reference to aN those other ma.tters which lhave baen referod, along with that bill, to this committee for consaideration. By the *fth setiosa of tha act of the last sos Ssien, or-daiin a Convention of thme peole, th Aniresubeetof our fed nexnto, with the one mple re derration. g!tbis.

They have passed, by our own act, beyond our control. It will he admitted, I think, by all, that no action we may take on them can bind the convention. Then why introduce them here? And, even, if we had the right, where is the necessity for us to pronounce an opin ion in our legislative capacity on those subjects? Is not the convention as competent as the Legislature to judge and determine what decision the people have made in the recent election? Will the convention not be as much disposed and as likely as any Legislature to obey the will of the people? Sir, there can be no doubt of it. The bill which I had the honor to introduce does not presume to indi cate any course of action to the con vention. I sincerely trust that the other measures before us, essaying to do so, will not be further pressed. Why should we, when there is no call for it, when there is no necessity for it, when there is no right for it, enter here into the discussion of top tes which can effect no good: but which must inevitably tend powerful ly to widen, and deepen, and fret, and exacerbate the diversity of feel ing and - opinion which now exists among us. It may be, sir, it may be, that events will transpire between this and the assembling of the con vention which will produce a unanim ity of sentiment amnong. God grant that it may be so! From my heart, and witlh all my whole heart, do 1 desire that we muy' soon once m're be able to say, to the language of a resolution of our G"-reral AssemzblV of i49, 'chat the. people of 4 ; State, have cause to con ratuinite .tismw es that, the party feuds bich. lately we.kenied the vigor . f its cunsels have hapil.l, Cease-. a that South Carolina now presetsJ to the enemies of her policy and .ac an unlividetd front, amLui is ';e ared, as she is res-lve d, to re-el. i, al; proper Ueans, ever a.ressi.,I up on her rights as a sN ver-i,;n ejiublic the instant that aiggression is attempt ed."

Yea, give up it may be in the end our free-, out cherished institutionis-give up it may be, and farever, our glorious blood-bought liberty. Let us all here now, at this session of the General Assembly, bend our united efforts to allay and remove as far as possible those uufortinate par ty feuds which of late hay~ torn and lacerated the bosom of our State. Let us all strive together so to dis pose of the questions beifore us, thazt when our work shall be done, sai the time arrives for us to separate and return to our constituents and our homes, we may review the recordl of our acts, and feel that with conafi dence we could inscribe upon it the pleasing. grat eful thought, "hee olim meminisse jubaavit" Mr. Wilkes said it had not been his purpose to participate in the de bate, but lie felt imipelled from his position, to state the reasons why lie should oppose the calling of the con. vention. This gentleman then went into a metaphyaical ar'gutnent to show that the convention was not a legal vital body-it was in the condition of the first man--perfect in formi and feature, but dlestitute of the biesth of the breath of life. lIe was a seces sionist, and believed secession t.hue on Ly remedy; but regarding the decis ion of dae people as aginst such a remeudy, lie was unwvilling to conee that body; and a all events, not without the concurrenee of a two thirds vote. Ele reoviewed the suc emsive aets of aggression, and while he 6el them cause for secession, he believed no such movomenst would be sustained by the people. We our selves, in our aetlos apen the various maatteru, were doing acts as ohne xious s those of the federal .authority, al though'the right to do so coudd not ha questionod in us, as with the gen .eral govcrnment. He. wanted to disso the Union, but that was out of the guaestion. In homely pbrase, our engmne had bursted, and hie would ULoW.Cal Ugonb co-operation to put their machine in motion, and sec what good it could effect. If th< Convention met, it could only lay lown a platform, and he was oppose' to all platforms; the people under stood both plans of action. They know you cannot resort to separat< secession, and co-operation with the other Southern States is out of the question. Mr. Sullivan deprecated extended debate. Every gentleman had made up his mind on the question of call. ing the convention, and debate would he fruitless of good results. He therefore moved that the committee report the bill to the House, recom mending its passage, without amend ment. Mr Tucker had no speech to make. At the commencement of the last session he was a conservative; but subsequently his viens underwent a change. and obedient to what he re garded the popular, he then went for separate State action. When the elections for Deputies to a Southern Congress took place, he found that that mode of redress was obnoxious to the people, and he was not in favor of bringing to existence a body which held to that remedy. He was in fa ror cf carrying out in good faith tho recision of the people. Should the convention meet, in all probability it would do nothing, or like the Georgia Convention, place a new limit at which resistance would commence. lie would not hold the people forev er between sleeping and waking. Let them slumber on, till some new and daring aggresrion should rouse threm to actio'n. They would indicate the time for resistance. without anV el D( i..t cry volf. e oil, whip- no w(l gistegirs; or, when he locp te, O y 4 i ili te given to the r Il. puis therefore opposed to the bill, and should vote against it. Mr L. M. Keitt rose siirlv to r.r. tst against the supposirion that the coivntion wOS to he Cllfed to deO ithrling. Ile protested against the onrclusion that the peopte, in the late election. had decided between resistance and subm'nuission.

(M r.Chuesnut,) lal leclaired w-hien that issue was pre. <ente"l, ie would adjourn the debate to the battle fie d: and Mr. Chair. mean (M1r Meunminger) had said, if be hadI to Wear chains, he wcltd not limhself forge (hem. Mr. Prea:on maid the Uniomn or slavery n~ist sink, that he would cut the cord single and tione and peril all on the deed. That ssue was n..t made-except between lifferent modes of resistance. Mr. 'Thomas Thompson had not been desirous of engaging in this de bate. lie stood unpledged as to the .all of the convenion; but he knew no reason why it should be convened. No acept.able plan of acion could be adopted by it. Soecessionists wer e inwillinig to take any other remedy' :han eepar-ate State action, because any oter course would be, in their 'pinion, ai step backa-ards That step should not be forced upon an >threr body. If it must be taken, let it be takein by ourselves, and not throw the reayonaibility and diagrace qpon gentlemen whose views are known to be antagonist to those of he pt-ople Mr. B1. J. Johnson would vote Igainist te bill before the committee. lie was a secessionist, anid he would eno step backward.

Thre Chiair anrnounced that the Fe nato bill which had come in fromn the priniter, was no0w befoere him, and muggested its substitution for tho llouse bill. andI the application of NI r. Sullivan's miotion to that bill; which was concurred in, The question wvas then put on re porting the Senate bill to the [louso, reconanewnding that it do pass without amendment, and laying thne llouse bill on the table; and it was agr-eed to without& division,. A motuon was madhe that the Com. mittee rise, and ask to be discharged f romi all mnatters before it. Mr. Garlington only niose to ex p lain t'he nature of' &so redoluitions h2 had the honor to offer, anid *wiem were committed to this Committee, In introducing themn, hiis motive wmn to allay jarty feelinj and frui less agitation. He wanted to unite South Carolina on some measure which would vindicate her honor ard maintain her rights. The charge would be brought that we were re newing agitation, after the people had decided against Separate se cession. In view of his repre sentative responsibility, he regard ed that remedy as dead; and he now wanted to abandon that imnrac ticable plan, and adopt any other measure that would right the wrongs of the State. In the deliberations of the onvention some efficient mea sure ught Le evolved which would effect this desirable end. Ue there fore moved to lay Mr. Sullivan's mo tion on the table, with a view to take up his resolutions; which was nega. tived. The question recurred on Mr. Sul livan's motion to report the bill for passage, &c., and it was decided in the affirmative. The committee thereupon rose and the speaker having taken the chair, Mr. Memminger from the committee of the whole, reported that the com mittee had under consideration the Senate bill to fix the time for the meeting of the Convention, and re commend its passago without amend nent, and asked to be dischnrged from the consideration of all matters refet red to it ; which was concurred ill. The bill having received a second reading in the House, Mr. Ilarring. ton utfer the following preamble as an amendment : SWhtre.us, the recent relection of D. ;:tiek to a Soutlernr ontgresa has de eaded against the se'parat me, s e.jn of 8.aaaLi.gjjw fier 1 s,.i krruw rnuswi'n4 w i ,, to tit.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH RAIL RoAnIs.- The writer of the financial articles in the New York E;p:eas makes the foll.wing judicious re marks on the probable difference be. tween the railroads of the United Statea and those of England as a permtatient investmtentc 'The London Morning Chronicle, speaking of the abundance of money prevailing in Enganei, and the offer. ed opportunities of investing surplus capital in railroad securities in this country, warns the British public from engaging in the~se enterprises, on the grroud that the English rail way mania in 1845-46 ended disas trously, anti because the same reaujts would'follow the extensive railroad builing in this country. Railways in Engeond cost from one hundred and fifty to two hundred thousand dollars per mile, and in this country the average cost of construction is from twenty-five to thtirty thonis.and dollar. per litLE, Railways are con structing in the western States, where the grcat outlay in railroad building now particularly exists, at evenJ a Jess average coat than the above, Jn the western country, where there is imamense annual increase of population, increase of population, arising, in part, from an acual depop ulation) of one of the Britih isle., it is absolutely needed that thie vast agricultural p)rodulction of that exten. sive region ahould in a correspond'ing degree have avenues opened as it is rapidly fied uip. Th'ose regions are more quickly developed in con aequence of this emigration, and of coutse requirae out werd appliances of capital which it has had no tinoe to accumnulate. The Eng1ish railways, beside their immense cost, were con struacted with &inneessary gatickness befort the course of trade in an old .country warranted it. There is n parity of reasoing betwn the two countries. It would be ridienlona to comparo the area of England with that of the U~nte 9-at4 T: transporta:ion, is not regarded in England with the same .importance where the distances are less. "'The construction of six thousand i miles of English railway has cost ?850,000,000 sterling, while in this i country there are near 11,000 miles I of railway fully constructed and in i actual operation, at a coat in round numbers of $806,000,000. The face of the country at the west is pe- i culiarly dapted for making of ril roads. aThe level prairie lands I abounding throughout Illinois, Indi ann, Michigan, and other adjacent e States, enables those roads to be worked at an expense. compared to I the English railways; that the income I from them may be profitable, while, I at the rate of remuneration, the Eu. f glish railways would be a ruinous < speculation, Hence the railways at t the West can afford to borrow mo ney at a nominal sacrifice in the ear- 1 ly part of their career, which sacrifi- < ccs, if made by roads, the cost of < which is so much more. and the i working expenses much greater, would be attended with disastrous 1 results, There is in fact no analogy I between the railway mania in ng- e land and the present rush for railway I enterprise in this country, That among many of the new projects here that some should turn out less i profitably than others, we are fully I preparea for, But the great trunk t lines throughout the country will in- I crease in their receipts, and present c from year to year augmuented divi. dends to their stockholders,' N*,wt Koweth has beenctgate during the entire night, in delivering speeches I and receiving the Visits of the people.
