JOHN II. M A ItTl N COLUMBUS : Wednesday Morning, Dec. 6, 1865. The LcgU’niure. Tho reports of the Macon pnpars of .Yesterday caiUnlti nothin/? in rdJation to the procnodin/?s of Monday that win not contained in our dispatch. Tbo menage ,»f Gov. Johnson whs not read on that day. __ _ f ^ The <'oiiatltutloiial Amendment. Alabama makes, wo bcliuvn, tho twen- ty-boventh Statu that lius ratifiud tho con stitutional amondment nbolisbinKslavery, and that is tho number required to givo it effect. If aiiotbor Statu is still noeded, Mow Jersey stands ready to make up tho list—tho Into ub clion in that State having turned upon this ir-nm. Hut wo may rea sonably ooncludo that other Southern States will also agreo to tho amendment, it being tindeistood that this will bo re quired of them as n p o-rrquitHo to resto ration. it is bettor for them to adopt it, ns South Carolina and Alabama have done, with Mr. Seward’s assurance that it confers on Congress no power to interfere by legislation with tho internal govern ment of the States, than to have it forced upon them by the votes of Northern States, with such iulorpretiitions of its scope us their radical majorities may claim. We look for its early adoption by tho Georgia Lcgi-laturo, and for an offi cial announcement of its adoption us a part td' tho Federal Constitution before long. JRirlUuirul In Harrl. County. Enquirer . 1» is thought mivila- A Xulv ul U arlllliff. We direct ullenlion to the facts inado public by Mr. l)o/.ier, with the approba tion of the military officer commanding in Harris county. Our citiy.ona are warned of developments, brought to light in that count}', that hould ul once put thorn on their guard. No volunteer company has yet been formed in this county, in accord ance with the proclamation of tho Provi sional Governor, and w< may safol.v as- mi mu that the military authorities Imroaro too much engaged with other bmdnoKs to direct to this matter that ilegrco of rigi- (>mcc that tho occa.*ion demands. Our people must, to a great extent, look out for themselves, at /cast so far as the fer reting out and thwarting in their incipi** ency designs again.-t tho public pcaco and security arc concerned. Our conviction is that tho warning given to tu is based upon such information, and i.« sustained by such authority, as to demand serious attention at oneo. bit* hy th# Committee and Captain New ton to publish their conclusions from their investigation into the late reported attempt to incite to insurrection the freedmen of this community. On last Tuesdny morning, Captain New ton examination, calling to his aid M. O’Neal, Goo. I*. Kilpatrick, Captain Neal, and tho undersigned, and after two days’ trial wo came to tho following conclusions: 1. Wo beliovo that such a thing has boon talked about among tho blacks, but has not assumed tho consistency of a plot hereabouts. Hut the evidence pointed to something more definite in the direction of Columbus, with its feelers in this direc tion. 2. Wo find some flro-nrms, only a few, and in some cases the most determined concealment, before discovery. 3. We find, without exception, a general indisposition to contract—some from a foolish fear of a longer term than ono year; some from a vague "know not why" and "don’t know what to do” ; and sotno testified of others as not intending to con tract at all. We find such expressions nR, "It will thunder along through here before Christ mas" ; "They haven't decided what to do with tho women arid children” ; "They Inivo decided not to kill the women and children” ; "To start from Columbus and divide out, and dtive tho whito men out of the country." Wo caution tho public to watch tho promised good manners of Aaron, former ly owned by Hardy Bryant, of Talbot— a little, dirty, black, pquut of a freodrnun of Sain Pearson, fiuodman, fifty or sixty }ears old, black, knock-knocd, important manners ; of Josh Dowdell, almost white, with a down, under look, but significant of, "Get it if you can.” There are ono or two of more decided importance, who made their escape to Columbus, but whom, perhaps, wo may socuro under orders already issued. Wo say, in view of ul 1 the facts, vigilance and preparation are tho host guarantees of safety. There aro bad whito men and black men, and mischief is their aim and vocation. Rcspoctfully, Doc. 4, 1805. G. A. B. Do/.ikk. Mil ledge vlllc Correspondence, Millkikjkvillb, Doc. 4, 1H*Vo. Tho tirnoso longund so earnestly desired by tho people or Georgia has at length arrived, and the Legislature lias assem bled at the scat of Government. A full quorum of both Houses are present; the Govornor elect is on the ground ; and, to all appearance, everything is ready for tho performance ol tho needful legislation The Washington correspondent of the Now Voik If'i»r/</,trlegiHplnng on lhe21Hb lilt., reported the President as having sta ted on that day that lie did not intend to pend out advanc' d copies of his message to tho press, hut that it was his purpose to have it sent by telegraph on the morning of its delivery to Congress, This being the case, we shall not, probably, receive the message as early as wo Imd untiopated, by a day or two. Perhaps it will not roach us bo fore Thursday oi Friday. In view ol this reported delay in tho transmission of the message to this part of the country, npeculations as what will bo done by Congress may bo all that we can expect for several days more. The cor respondent of (he MW/,/1 in tho same dis patch, says: "In interviews of several conservative Republican senators, to day, with the President, they expressed to him their views in regard to the national af fairs pretty freely. 'They nafurmi him that tho country was with him on his pol icy of reconstruction ; that while theSouth may not have done all that was expoctcd on tho whole question, she had done re markably well. The President said he was glad to have their co-operation, for he be lieved that what he had done was for tho best, and would prove so in the end. Du* ring a portion of these interviews to-day Secretaries Seward and Stanton wore pre sent.” The correspondent of the Louisvillo democrat writes, under date Nov. L’Tth • "The President's message is certain to ho a billot divorce—a vinculo malrimonit between tho Radicals and tho Administra tion. Ho will adhere to his oft-repeated doctrine of the right of each Slate to regu late the question of suffrage, and will inn sist that whatever is done in this matter must be done by the States as States, and not by the General Government, llo may throw a sop to the Radical corberus in tho Way of a recommendation that in telligence and nut color should bo tho test of qualification for the exorcise of tho elec* tivo franchise, but a bint of that kind would apply more directly to "loyal” Connecticut than to traitorous South Car olina. Ail tho people of the South a>k is that it bo left, to them lo regulate their franchise laws, and the people of the North will back them up in seeing this done. “It is hoped Mr. Johnson will touch very lightly on the Mexican question. The common sense or the American peo ple is gradually settling down to the belief that wo have quite enough to do at home just now without undertaking to right the ways of the Mexican Liberals. Mr. Lin coln said oneo that it wam't his business to "run the churchy, so neither is it Mr. Johnson's business to "run" Mexico—not at present certainly." Tho Washington dispatch of the :10th, to the Now York press, says that tho Presi dent » message will contain a full state ment of tho present reconstruction policy, and submit it to Congress, and that the policy will bo adopted with a few modifi cations. The Issue. Tho following clour exposition of the issue between the Administration and the Radicals wo copy from tho Notional In tclligcncer: The Administration stands for tho equal ity of the States, fur tho sway of civil law, for the right <»1* representation jn Con gress, subject only to the qualifications of tho Constitution and to such manifest per sonal exceptions as plainly doservo to bo enforced against existing traitors or infa mous conspirators. It regards force only as a necessary police regulation in aid of civil law until such time as all danger from local disturbances shall finally Hill side. And tho policy of the Administra tion goes on the conviction that the sooner the Stales are restored to their practical relation with tho Federul head, tho sooner will ull danger, even from local disturb ances, bo removed, and thus the sooner the nation will bo rolioved from tho of fense of arms, from burdensome garri sons, from factious sveophants of a cen tral armed power on tho one hand, and an insensate utid spirited populace on tho other (which Roqthorn disorder must cre ate and continue on tho plan of force).— Tho President seems to prefer to think that tho inind and heart and interests of tho Routh will better work in the oloment of tho freodmen into tho body politic than will arbitrary and unconstitutional action, based on tho thoory that tho Mouth, ro lioved of garrisons, will either murder tho negro or reduce him again to bondage. Opposed to the Administration is tho doctrine that tho states aro destroyed; that tho President has usurped powers; that tho American Union is practically dis solved; that tho South aro a subjected pooplc; that their elections aro mocker ies; that their members returned to Con gress shall bo subjected to tests unknown ♦o tho Constitution; that the names ol such shall not ho entered on the roll of the .States, even after a I‘residential pro- elnmatioH that tho robollion is over and that tho insurgents Imvo returned to their allegiance; that negro sulfrago shall, by national authority,bo forced on thoHouth- orn States, oithor by legislation, or by op pressive tricks of Congress, bearing on the admission of Southern members in tho Capitol; that tho fact of the rebellion shall NEVER DIE, but that tho blood}' war shall bo fought over to inllatnu tho sec tions against each other to answortho ends of the vory demagogues who were fore most in producing the war, and who know no intorost but party and soil; that the South, however ready to come back with a loyal and impulsive heart, must, never theless, bo punished by cold and cruel and needless delays (on tho Colfax and Slo vens theory), until hope delayed shall make the heart sick, and tho nation shah wither piece-meal and fall to pieces like a rotten wreck, lo go down amid a war of races and factions in tho South, nr.d of party violence and mischiefs in tho North, and so go tho mournful way of all the republic* of tho past. No matter how disguised, how sugared over, these aro tho nsucs between those who dissent from what our American President has dono and from what ho de sires to do. Tho issue was long ago inado by tho reeovstructionists, and it has quite recently been boldly reaffirmed by Mr. Speaker Collax. And this issue must bo fairly met. It remains to bo soon how parties will range themselves in Congress as the friends or foes of "tho policy of the President"—tho Prosidont of the'United States and of tho American people. deceitful, wo have often been told, and **o 1 fear it will prove on the present occa* sion. I regret to learn that, for the present, Governor Jenkins will not bo inaugurated. I regret also to learn that tho agent ap pointed to negotiate a loan sufficient lo pay the expenses of the administration <»f the State, whom we understand to lo lion. John P. King, has thus fur failed to btain any money by tho sale of Slate bonds, at tho discount of ten per cent., authorized by the Convention, and that in consequence there is not a dollar in the treasury. 1 understand, however, that, the loan can be elfected at a discount of bonds slightly greater, if the Legislature will grant tho power. Other causes besides these (which will readily suggest themselves) exist, which seem to lie in tho way of a successful moving forward of tho wheels of Govern ment. '1 ho message of his Excelloncy Gov. Johnson is ready. It will bo a f-hort doc ument, and replete with interest. It will be an emphatic statement of what, iu the Provisional Governor’s opinion, is noces sury to be done by tho Legislature. More than the usual number of office seekers are here.

From the Wilmington Herald, of tho 20th ultimo, wo extract tho following count of tho tragic ending of a perilous Yesterday afternoon, about half*past two o’clock, the Wilmington theatre was the scone of one of the most heart-rend ing catastrophes we have ever been called on to chronicle. A matinee was adver tised to bo held at the theatre ut 2 o'clock i*. xf., tho performance lo consist of E.hi- _ : . ... pj.I.in lii. / W li if opian minstrelsy by Vhttrlio White ron-clnd opera troupe, and feats on tho tight ropo by Mr. Delano, whoso real name was Thomas N. Huntley. The rope ox tended from tho stage to the centre gallory, forming a steep ascent that it ap peared ttlmott impossible to walk. At tho appointed time, however, Mr. Huntley inado his appearance, with the heavy balance polo used on such occa sions, and commonced his feat. Ho walked with great ease and succoss in the ascent, reaching tho gallery amid the rap turous applause of tho audience, Jn a moments he returned to descend to tho stage, but, after taking a few stops he lost his foothold and full, but succuodcd in gaining lb© gallory. Apparently be coming mortified at his partial failure, he remounted and attempted to descend to thostago backwards; but aftor proceed ing a lew feet from tho gallery he again lo»t his balance, and then commenced a kinful and thrilling slrugglo for life. Finding that he would probably fall from the rope, ho throw his balance polo into the dress circle, and, it is supposed, ...ado an effort to spring into it himself. He merely, howover, touched it with his feet, and was precipitated head down-' wards into tho parquolto below, the left ido of the head striking the corner of one of tliO scats, frightfully crushing the skull, and producing almost instant death. Wo examined tho body after tho occur rence, and it appeared that all tho internal portion of tho hoad had boon forced into the right temple. Tho lower part of tho face presented a natural appearance, but the head was horribly disllgurod. Tho deceased was a native of Nashville, Tonn.,where ho loaves a widowed mother, but has latterly been a resident of Rich mond, Va. lie was agod between til no* teen and twenty years. Ho was a man ol splendid physique, and but for bin untime ly death, would, doubtloFP, have attained a high position in bis profession, lie Imd 'formed but once before in public, and it T0e feeokuk {lowa) Constitution of the 19th alt. says: A canal boat, propelled by steam, arrived at our levee yesterday, direct from Chicago, and will proceed from hero to several of the cities above on the river.

Ux-KSTXlll.lHUMKNT OF THK UkI‘UIU.1- CAH GOVICKNMXNT OF ClIHlUA1IUA.—A Washington dispatch, of tho 29th, con* tains tho following: Official news from El Paso was received this evening by Mr. Momero, the Mexican Minister, that the recent movements of the national forces of Mexico compelled the French troops of Chihuahua to evacu ate that city and State, and to withdraw to Durango. On the 2Mh ot October the evacuation began, and for days later not a single Fronch .soldier was left in Chihun bus. President Jaurcz writes, on the fid inst, that ho was about leaving El Paso for the city of Chihuahua, to ro-estahlish thero the national government. This is thought to bo a great success for the re publican cause of Mexico,since the French admit their inability to hold tho conquer ed ground. Sensations of a Balloonist.—A bal loonist says: Tho sensations as we sail in our upward course is one of intense pleasure. Even woro there not a landscape of uncqualud beauty beneath and around us, to entrance the eye and wrap the senses in delight, the feeling itself is sufficient to make ono supremely happy. Without a thought of earn in tho world, without a fear, wo leel us if our bodioa had boon left behind, and only our spirit, disenthralled of mortal trappings, is here. Happiness lias reached its acme. This i> pleasure's maximum.— It is not a sensation of being carried; no, thero is not a thought of the balloon it- solf. We feel ondued with motive power, and imagine, if oven on tho outside, wi will be sale. Prudcnco tells us, however, not to try the experiment, as it might prove dangerous. Thero is nono of that feeling of doafnoss which Fronch ti*ro- nauts talk to us of, nono of lliat removal ol the pressure of the air wo hear so much of. There is nothing unpleasant whatever about tho sensation, although it is neces sarily a novol ono. hi. !>. A.luuis ' lin B. B hu J. Gi Jimmie! Bitch, Willi mi Bt-itoh, . 11. M urn bn I. Phillips T.
