Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great

work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been TAKEN In the accomplishment OF this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and

Senator Berrien, of Georgia, made a
public speech at Macon on the lst insr..
in which he declared against secession,
but took strong ground in favor Of de-
fensive and retaliatory measures. He
opposed non-intercourse and impost taxes
as unconstitutional. and expressed the
wish that the convention would recon-
mend. for the ratification of the people, a
law by which Northern goods after they
had arrived in Georgia and had been de-
livered into the hands of the merchant
should be charged high discriminating
tax. -

Smell, of New Orleans. 1t was embed

worth little over SO. Mr.. Smell says
he found it in crevice in reef OF rocks
projecting out in the Arkansas river, near
the mouth Of Shoal creek. where he
thinks it was deposited in high water
1t has the appearance Of having been
transported considerable distance by
water, as the angels of the rock in whicE
it was EMBEDDED, are worn and smooth by
attrition, and the immediate country in
which it was found, Mr.. Smell says, pres
