The bill of the house for the establishment of a stale bank, was received and twice read. Mr Lemon moved to refer said bill to the same commit lee of the w hole to which had been relet red the two bills of the Senate, and sundry petitions on the eaifie s'.iliject.

Mr- Fletcher, from Ihe judiciary committee, to which wa retf-rted a resoln. lion instructing them to itupiiie into the expediency of providing by law for the holding called Fessions ef Ihe circuit court, for Ihe trial of persons charged with criminal offences, whenever Mich ptron oi persons shall, by petition, sa li-fy ihe preident j'H'ge of the proper circuit, that justice cat be fully adminis ration, and the committee have directed me to report, that from the numerous applications t the legi-lature tor the passage of special acts for ihe trial of per sons confined in jail for offence, i.i the vacation of circuit courts, the committee have no doubt but that the subject under their examination deserves legirlative enactment at this session. Bui to pro vide for the trial of thuse persons cct.fi ned in jail, whilst the preiding judge is engaged iu his regular circuit duties, oi to direct which of two criminals should first receive a trial, who may be confined in different counties and make an appli cation at the same time to the presiding judge, or to determine what peculiar cirumstances must exist to entitle the per son thus confined to the benefit of a fpe cial trial, are all questions of no little per plexity, and a majority of the committse believe, deserve more consideration than they can well receive at this late peri od of our session; and therefore they have riirecled me to ak to be discharged from the further consideration of the re solution; which was read and the com mittee disrbarged. The president laid befre the Senate a communication from the governor, co vering Iwn resolutions of the legislature of Georgia, one which recommends the call of a convention and proposes sundry amendments to the constili tion; the other responds to the Tennessee resolutions in deny ing that the general government has the power, under the constitution, to en ler into a system of internal improve mentg Which were read and laid on the ta hie. BANK The bill to establish a state bank was called no in the regular oidei, and, on motion of Mr. Pennington, made the order of the day for to-morrow. Indianapoms, Jan. 23. STATE BANK. This subject was made the special or der of the day in ihe senate yesterday, and the principal part of th day was occupied in its consideration. Three hills are now before the senate. One ol them was introduced some time ago by Mr. Fairington, from the select commit tee to which was referred that part oi the govenors metsnge relating to the subject, which, in its prominent provisions, is similar to the bill which has received the sanction of the house of representatives. Another one was introduced some days ago by Mr. Ewing, and differs from the bill above named in several imporiant particulars, but especially in that part which relates to the connexion between the state hank and the branches, the latttr bill making the'

branches offices of discount for the mo-'0f ther bank, and making them all responsi-

me lor each other. And a Ihird is the themselves, and at the same time lo iabil! sent up from the houe. Some partifjire Ihe institution of which thev are en-

So extensive has this spirit prevailed, since the adjournment of the Legislature, that we are informed It has hitherto been found impossible for the Executive even to acknowledge the receipt of Ihe numerous communication, received from volunteers. We hope shortly to he able to givo more detailed information on this subject. In the mean time we congratulate the country upon the nobla spirit displayed hy the people of South Carolina at this interesting crisis. We hope and trust that no occasion will arise for requiring the services of volunteers iu the defence of the State, hut it is extremely gratifying to find that to far from the spirit of the people quailing beneath Hie threats of the Tregidcnt, nti the denunciations of the manufacturers 2d their agents, they have iien with
