THURSDAY MORNING.....................JANUARY 24 ======= RIVER ITEMS. STEAMBOAT REGISTER. ARRIVED. Magenta, Louisville; Dunbar, Paducah; Citizen, Pittsburg; Bracelet, Louisville; Diana, New Orleans. DEPARTED. Magenta, New Orleans; Maria Denning, N. O.; Dunbar, Paducah; Judge Torrence N. O.; Citizen, Memphis; Bracelet, Louisville; Diana, Louisville. ——— ......The Weather, yesterday, as we have been anticipating, changed, and the delightful days we have been enjoying for a short time were followed, yesterday, by a dismal, rainy one, arresting business on the levee, and giving everybody the blues. The rain scarcely ceased falling during the entire day. ......The musical Grey Eagle is the Louisville mail boat to-day. She will leave about 7 o'clock. Applications for freight or passage can be made at any time during the day at the wharf-boat or on board when she arrives. ......The Mattie Cook is the regular mail packet for Bowling Green and intermediate points this evening. She leaves about 7 o'clock. She is a new boat, built expressly for the trade and her accommodations are of the best. ......The reliable little clipper Lue Eaves, we doubt not, will be found in port, to-day, with shingle out for Green River country. Capt. McDonald desires his friends to furnish him with their freight promptly. He will leave in the evening, ......The Bracelet, owing to some derangement in her machinery, did not arrive on time Tuesday evening. She was at the landing yesterday about noon, and returned the same evening for Louisville. The old clerk on the Grey Eagle, Mr. Duval, presides in the office of the Bracelet. ......The Wabash is quite full, and yesterday it was filled with ice from the north. A steamer passed up on Saturday night.— <Vin. Gaz., 23d>. ......We have not yet heard of a boat being molested in any way at Vicksburg, and are quite certain that not a single Louisville boat has been brought to by those guns. They come and go as heretofore, without trouble or delay.—Louisville Courier>. The Courier must certainly discredit the statements of all the Memphis papers, which boast of and glory in the infamous and treasonable transactions. ......We learn the Poland had a narrow escape from sinking on her last trip to Pittsburgh. She was badly cut with the ice at Buffington, and had to run on the bar when it was found that she had shipped over a foot water, damaging some sugar, wheat, and flour. Protest was entered at Parkersburg, and she arrived at Pittsburg Friday.—<Lou.. Cour>. THE CORA ANDERSON SUNK.—The Cora Anderson recently sunk in the Mississippi, in Eagle Bend, 40 miles above Vicksburg, while on her way to St. Louis with 600 hhds of sugar and 800 bags of coffee. It is a pity to lose so much sugar and coffee. The boat is no great loss. She was owned in St. Louis, and was built at New Albany in April, 1850, by Capt. Carroll, a very clever boatman. It is thought the boat can be raised. Baffinger had charge of her at the time she sunk. She was a freight boat, and worth about $20,000. ———<>——— RAILROAD RECEIPTS.

NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. BY THE E. & W. LINE. Exclusively for the Journal. ======= CONGRESSIONAL. Washington,' D. C, January 23d, IStil. Hocsb. Mr, Sickle3 offered ; an amendment establishing the daily deliveryof letters within a circuit of nine miles of the City

Hall, New York. Adopted. An amendment making lithographic maps mailable matter at one cent per ounce, to any part of the country, was adopted. Mr. Clemens made a personal explanation, , relative to a remark made yesterday, that he was a traitor, stating that he forgave the remark for the reason that La bad been suffering under a reeking wound for two years and a half. He did not find a bullet a comfortable sensation. He expected his course had led to defamatory remarks. If others wished to cast imputations on him, they could say so for reasons stated. The report of the committee of 33 being up, Mr. Etheridge said if a settlement of the present difficulties could be submitted to twelve honest men, not politicians, he would do so without argument, knowing they would reach an honest verdict. Unfortunately the people appeal to Congress for j peace. lie announced if the House failed to ! meet the policy expected he would inove an j sojournment of this question to the people. I The revolution now threatening was unjus- ! tifiable and unpardonable and involving tearful consequences, yet those not participating in revolution are sligmali.ed as traitors. He showed the madness and folly of subverting- the government, saying that all their rights would be secured in the Union. Milledokville, Ga., Jan. 22. A number of resolutions were offered and rejected, including the following one, appointing a committee of 10 to report on the power of the Convention to reduce the number of the members of the Legislature; another, that Georgia will demand her share of the public property ; another, pledging the State to pay the carriers for transporting the mails in the future ; another instructing the committee to report an ordinance authorizing a council of safety. Six members entered their protest against the ordinance of secession, but pledged their lives, fortunes, and honor in defence of Georgia against coercion and invasion. An ordinance declaring all white persons of the state at the time of the adoption of the ordinance of secession citizens without regard to their place of nativity or the length of their residence in the state, was referred. , A long letter wa3 presented from the postmaster at Savannah, detailing the evils of a change in the postal affairs. An ordinance was adopted, providing for the execution of sentences passed by the Federal Courts and the execution of the processes issued by the same courts and to preserve the indictments.

It is reported that their vote, combined with that of '.he Democratic members, will carry the repeal through the House. Mr. Armstrong, a Republican, made a speech in the House favoring Crittenden's amendments. It produced a very powerful effect and was the finest effort made this session in either House. The House has passed the Senate resolutions declaring attachment to the Union, and that the Constitution has sufficient power to maintain the integrity of the Union. The resolutions were passed by a strict party vote. Amendments favorable to a compromise were rejected. New Orleans, Jan. 21. Vera Cruz advices to the 10th, are received.

parative exhibit of the condition between that date and the 17th of November pret vious. ; The State Sentinel in commenting on this i report remarks : This statement exhibits the effects o' the financial and political panic daring that period. The report shows a decrease in discounts of $1,112,489.59, a decrease of circulation of $900,138, a decrease of all liabilities of $1,121,389.39, and $184,691.35 increase of specie. The circulation on the 31st of December wa3 $4,853,372, and the specie on band $2,102,059.60. The bank is evidently in what is termed a strong condition, and is fully prepared to maintain specie payments in almost any contingency that may occur. This wa believe to be the true policy of banking, and fortunately the Constitution of our State leaves no discretion in this regard with our banking institutions. They must redeem their issues in specie at the call of the holder, or else lose their chartered privileges as the penalty of their failure in that respect. Whatever opinions may exist as to the advantages of banking, there can be no doubt but the Bank of the State has been skilfully managed, and is abundantly able to maintain her credit unimpaired, even if the financial difficulties of the country present a worse aspect than they yet have. This exhibit of its affairs 13 creditable to the State and the managers of the institution. Notwithstanding the panic, the bank has discounted liberally to aid the removal of the produce of the State, and we understand similar accommodations will be continued to the extent of its ability. Cnlon Meetinsr Proceedings oj the Union Meeting of the Citi zens of Gibson county, Intl., without dis tinction of Parti, held at the Court House tn Princeton, on Thursday the 17 th Jan vary, 1801, m accordance with previous notice. The object of the meeting wa3 stated by Mr. b. M. Barton, when, on motion, Dr. Joseph I. Neiley was chosen Presi dent, and all the Soldiers of the late wars, that were present, Vice Presidents, whereupon the following persons came forward and took their seats: Audley Paul, Stephen Mead, Jas. C. Alsop, Aaron Lewis, John Sidles, James Moore, and Wm. Clark. No other names were handed in to the becreta ries.j N. B. Risinger, and William Kurtz, were appointed Secretaries. On motion the Chair appointed James T. Embree, Burr H. Polk, Geo. W. Gorman, David Robb, and Robert Duncan, a Committee on Resolutions. There were several strings of Resolves offered, but referred wflhout debate to the Committee, who retired for consultation. During their absence the meeting was addressed by Mr. Hanna, of Evansville, by invitation previously given, as was stated and replied to by Hon. E. Embree. After some sparring back and forth by gentlemen whoae patriotism was at the boiling point, and whose anxiety to be heard was making some confusion, the Committee entered aud reported the following resolutions : Whereas, Disaffection exists among a class of the citizens of a portion of the States of this Confederacy, which has proceeded so far as to trample upon ths Constitution, aud violate the laws of the Federal Government, and Whereas, We, the citizens of Gibson county are firmly and unalterably attached to the principles of the Constitutional' these United States as bequeathed to us by our fathers and to the perpetual L mon ot the States, therefore Resolved, That we renew our expressions of undiminished attachment and loyal af fection tor our National Constitution and Federal Uniou, and that we deeply deplore any influence from whatever quarter it may arise having a tendency to impair the one or destroy the other. 2. Retolved, That U'e Constitution of our country, as it now exists, is the best and wisest form of Government ever enjoyed by man, and that the welfare and happiness of the country depends upoa its perpetuation ; and we pledge ourselves to,use every exertion and make any sacrifice necessary to that end. 2. Resolved, That if there exists on the Statute books of any State, either North or South, any laws which are in conflict with the Constitution of the United States, -or of auy law of Congress passed pursuant thereto, such laws are null and void, and ought to be repealed. - - 4. Resoh-eJ, That the fanatics and ultraists both of the North and of the South are responsible for the troubles now agitating the country, and that they do have our un qualified condemnation. o. Resolved That the action of the Gov ernor of'Mississippi in ordering batteries and armed men to intercept or in any wise in terfere with the free navigation of the Mis sissippi river is deserving of the greatest censure and is an unwarranted interference that cannot and should not be tolerated. 6. Resohed, That we always have been and now are unalterably opposed to any in terference with the laws or institutions ot any of the States of the Union, be that in terference by individuals, by States, or by the General Government. 7. That we cordially approve of the re cent firm and patriotic Special Message of the President of the L oited States, aud of his late efforts to enforce the laws of the country, and we cordially and heartily ap prove of the conduct of Major Anderson, in his attempt to maintain the honor of our dag aid preserve the property of the country. 8. Resolved, That we consider this Gov ernment of ours the best ever instituted on earth by man ; that it has been admired by all nations of the earth, and that as its overthrow from any cause whatsoever, would be a calamity the depth of which could not be estimated by human computation, we are willing in order to settle the difficulty and heal up the breach, to make any COMPROMlSh that would be just and honorable in the premises. 9. Resolved, That in the lanjiuase of Jackson, we will ask nothing but what is right, and will submit to nothing that is wrong "(his Union must be preserved .'" and to secure that end we pledge our hearty cooperation and support. Which were adopted by nearly a unanimous vote. On motion the meeting adjourned with a request to publish it in the county papers. JOS. I. NEILEY, Pres't. .. B. KlSItiGER, Wm.
