W £0NEIDAV mOBMlMOt wov. isth Oar !».« C®»ip|«"- ,rfce ElBCti ° n The attention of the -whole country is turned to onr next Congress, aml many speculation, have been indulged in as to what is likely to be the results of its de liberations. Some have asserted, with pro phetic assuranoe, that this will be, w e others are no less sanguine that a very opposite course will be adopted ; and there is still another class, largely in the majority, who feel that they have already done so well that failure is impossible. Certain it is that no greater responsi bilities were ever placed on the shoulders of any body of men than have been as. signed to those composing the comiDg Congress, unless in a commendable spu'd of admiration for the great and good1 of the past wo find occasion to yield the palm to that which gave birth to our li berties, and laid the foundation of our present and future greatness. The plan of restoration in which our highest inter est* hre involved, will, through them, re ceive the crucial test which is to decide upon its merits- It is needless to say that this decision will embrace nearly, if not quite all the questions of peculiar significance to the South which have agi tated the minds of our people since the close of the war. This constitutes but a part of the work they will be called on to perform, though it will, of right and necessity, receive their first, aud, for the time, most exclusive attention. Subjects of the gravest magnitude will present themselves only of less importance to us, because in their effect they are more gen eral and wide-spread—national and qpt looal. These touch our economy and in ternational relations, and will demand in their consideration the highest wisdom those obstruse and perplexing sciences have ever required and received. This brief outline,. imperfect as it is, of the duties to be discharged, will sure ly suggest that there will be no time for child’s play—for the petty bickerings and fruitless discussions that have so often disgraced oar legislative halls, and may lead to the expectation that a becoming, ■high-toned, dignified bearing will be a prominent characteristic of the session. While we cannot form any reliable esti mate of the ability that will be brought into requisition, we have reason to feel confident it will prove commensurate with the difficulties of the task to be per formed. It is possible to take individual cases and argue from them that the ablest have been elected to represent the men people in both Houses, but this would not meet the requirements of the oase, and fail to give sat. isfaction. We would, indeed, prefer to rest our belief pn tha well ac credited truism, that “times make men, aud that in this emergency, little will be wanting which we could, in reason, ask or expect. It is equally difficult to fix upon those who are destined to attain to special prominence, and by virtue of an irresistible, controlling genius, assume direction of affairs. The firmest sup porters and wisest counsellors of the government, while at war, may prove ut terly incapable of grappling successfully with the new work which is likely to call i nto action other and very different qual ities of heart and mind. Just as those who are most efficient in staying the pro - gress of a confiscation, may, oftentimes, be most unfit to undertake to repair the damage done. It makes little difference by whom it is done—we care not so it is done and well done. Sncli is our faith in Andrew Johnson and liis Cabinet, in the wisdom and good policy of the -measure adopted to secure the speedy return of all the States to a full enjoyment of their rights under the Constitution—measures recently endorsed by large majorities in the north—that we cannot doubt the ul timate success which is to be the crown ing glory of alL Our object in introducing the subject, was two-fold, and would be but half ac complished if we failed to advert to what we conceive to be some of the duties of our people in the present instance! Jus tice Alesop was of the opinion that no of ficer of his Majesty, the King, should in terfere to prevent a breach of the law, that his Majesty’s subjects might not be wanting for examples to impress upon their minds that there were such things as law, king and king’s officials. Those who choose, may be Alesopian. We would not, for any hope of gum or favor. It is the duty of every man—one he owes to the community at large-not only to strive to correct abuses where they ex - ist, but to save trouble by preventing them if possible, providing always, he does not overstep himself by infringing on the rights of others. If our Convention has done all that its friends claim for it—if it has done nothing that will retard the interests of or be held objectionable by . . . °, ur ow “ actions, and not heir desires, have placed in a position to judge u* and everything that would have a tendency to soften the animosities ^ ' 8prUU * Up different Georgia, those whom . the country—we may con- gratulate ourselves on having done a great Wd good work. Without mincing matters, we ate free tp say m our opinion' that they might have done much better, However, since their action will not be undone, at least for the present,- we cannot do more ^ nor Jess than urge that the liAt men be chosen to represent us, that we. may feel assured that our efforts will lose none of their weight by being poorly onjmproper- ly presented. To-day *e hold our Abe.' tion, and every vote- who, for the -sake of shewing a despicable hostility^ a government, tbat% it« humane clemen cy, is deserving of his love and respect, votes for men he knows to be hostile to that government, is recreant to his own and the interest of the State. Let the man of your choice for Congress be of sncli intellectual pre-eminence as to leave no doubt as to his qualifications for the position, and be sure that liis civil and' poiit cal integrity and honesty of purpose are above suspicion. Give your support to no one whose obliquity of vision is such that he cannot See what is so plain to all others,—who, drunk With passion and prejudice, staggers in his own vomit, and has not the manliness of char acter to rise above his degradation. Dis card such as these—select good men to represent us at home and abroad,' and we will receive the plaudits of our own conscience, and give satisfaction and en couragement to our friends everywhere. The Orphans’ Ufailnee Reneflt—-Let ter from M«yer Arnold. We cheerfully give place to the sub joined correspondence, which fally ex plains itself: -• - To the Editor Savannah National Repnpfican : Sm.— Please correct an error into which you have been led by a typograph ical mistake. The performance to take place this afternoon, is not for the beue- iit of any one Female Asylum, but of all three of this city, viz: The 8 ivaunah Female Asylum, the Protestant Episcopal Orphan’s Home,and the Catholic Asylum, at the bisters of Mercy, This division will make an appeal to all classes of our citizens, which I hope will be a success ful one. Respectfully yours, K. D. Arnold, Mayor of Savannah. Nov. 15, 1865. The letter of His Honor Mayor Arnold, correcting the error in onr editorial par agraph of yesterday, renders a generous response to the orphan’s appeal an im perative necessity, and we sincerely trust that it will be our pleasure to record an immense audience in attendance this afternoon if the weather be fair.— There is a solemn obligation resting upon every individual in our com munity to do all in his power to alleviate the suffering and want of the Motherless and Fatherless. “He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord then let us fail not to remember the pit eous appeal of the Orphans amid the dark desolation that overshadows their grief-stricken hearts. Merchants, if you cannot attend, buy. a few tickets and give them away to those of your friends who haVb leisure to attend. This call is based upon the simple claims of Immunity, and it must be answered in the true spirit, worthy of the liberality aud magnanim ity of our people. Commercial EaterprlH~>Wlial Bal timore Is Doing. The steamship Fannie, the consort of the North Point in the Baltimore and Savannah line of steamships, which arri ved at this port on Monday last, is a tine propeller steamship of about 500 tons, having good passenger accommodations and capacity for a large cargo. The Fan nie is commanded by Capt. Cator, a thorough seaman and an accomplished gentleman. Daring the passage out, the Fannie experienced a very heavy gale, which proved her qualities as a staunch sea-going vessel. The Baltimore and Savannah line is now fully established, and, we are glad to chronicle, is meeting with deserved suc cess, offering, as it does, peculiar advan tages to the merchants of Savannah and the interior. Jit should* be understood thut goods shipped by this line are check ed through from New York, at the same rates by the New York lines, thereby saving time and expense. The agents in this city, Messrs. West, Bryan & Co., are gentlemen of known experience in com mercial affairs, and require no further notice at our hands. Every facility will be offered by the agents to those doing business with this line, We also understand it is the intention of the owners of the line to place two fast and light draft steamers on the river, to run in connection with their ocean steamships. These boats, the Fannie Leper and the Minnie Brandt, are now eu route for Savannah, and the agents are hourly looking for their arrival. This will be a great accommodation to our merchants in the interior, as their goods will be forwarded without delay. We hope our merchants, and others in terested in the commercial prosperity of Savannah, will patronize and liberally contribute to sustain this noble enter prise. We should aid them in their ef forts to keep up steam communication between our city and Baltimore. * xv We are under great obligations to Cko. W. Adams, Esq., the efficient and gentle manly Superintendent of the Georgia Central Railroad, for courtesies extended to our Special Correspondent while en route to the State Convention . Appreciating these generous favors, we hold ourselves in readiness to re4pro- cate such acts of kindness, which are all the more grateful because bestowed by strangers. - * and that Postmaster's Oatli The following is the oath required by Apt of Congress of July 2,- 1862, .olid March J, 1863, to be taken for the ofiiee of Postmaster' 1 I, ..., being appointed at in the county of State of , do swear ....

Onr city was visited with quite » refresh ing shower yesterday afternoon. Daring the evening quite a heavy dew-descended, and the atmosjjisre was quits moist. Sax Fmanusco, Oct. 13, 1863. The new and magnificent steamer Yosemite, of the California Steam Navigation Company, Su cramento and San Francisco line, was blown into a perfect wreck by the explosion of one of her boilers last evening on her downward trip to this city. She wus lying at the wharf at Rio Vista at tbe time of the catastrophe. It is reported that forty of her passengers have bee-i killed and many were wounded. It is supposed that the cause oi the catastrophe wus the neglect to letofl steam while tbe boat was lymg at the wharf. Tbe following is a copy of the dispatch receiv ed by the Navigation Company : Saokamixto, Oct, 13 8 A.M. Cai’t. James Whitxky—The Yosemite burst her starboard boiler at Itio Vista wuart last even ing. Her upper works forward are a complete wreck The Chrysopclis biought up thirty wounded nod live d- ad. Capt.

A few minutes past six P. M., as the steam er was leaving the landing the boiler exploded, throwing ail the upper cabin, pilot bouse, and everything forward of the smokestack into a total wreck, creating a scene of death and dis order, most terrible to look upon,.and which I will not atlepipt to describe. All I can hope to do'in this letter will be to give you as cor rectly as po'gible the terrible record of the killed and wounded. J. II. Myers, conu-dian, of Maguire’s -Opera House, kill- U. J. M.

Herald, 9th inst.j The following particulars of the attack upon Matamoros, oo the 25th ult., extracted from the New Orleans Times of October 30, folly confirm the telegraphic report of the affair pub lished in the Herald of November 2 ; Tbe United States derpatch boat Eliza Han- cox, Shultz, from Brazos via Galveston, ar rived here this morning. Among her passen gers were General Steele and staff. To Lieut. Kent, of tbe staff, we would express onr thanks for valuable courtesies. Before leaving Galveston General Steele re ceived the following telegraphic despatch from General Weitzel, at Brownsville: October 25, I8C5. Major General Steele : As far as I can learn Escobedo reconnoitred Mejia’s lines this morning. General Ynoza misunderstood the orders and attacked tbe fort below the town, his column being led by about seventy Americans. They carried the works with little loss, because, as the imperialists say, the garrison ran ont of ammunition. Mejia in person, with his favorite troops, charged and retook tbe works, punishing the liberals pretty well. General Ynoza and several officers and <juite a number of men (liberals) are here wounded. Tbe light lasted about three boars, and is now over. Everything quiet. Liberals say they will make an attempt in force to-morrow. Will keep you posted as 1 get information. G. Weitzel, Major General. The Imperial Account. | From the Matamoras Itanchero extra (Imperial organ,) Oct. 25, P, M J At five o’clock this morning tbe outlaws made, us was expected, an assault on the fortifications surrounding the pity, they appeared at differ ent points in small force, leaving it a matter of doubt whether attack or feint was intended. At length a charging party was found to attack in earneat the artillery pickets at the southwest part of tbe city. The charging party made op in desperation what they lacked in numbers for a time. The artillery picket was forced back, leaviDg their guns behind. At thigjunc-ure the gunboat Pariano, commanded by Colonel AnBel- mo Grnbie, steamed down tbe river to the assault ed point, and by a well directed fire pat the out laws to High', when tfle artillery pickets retook their gnus and opened on the dying outlaws. At the same time the fort, mmmsnded by onr con temporary, Senor Dor Miguel Pena, opened a shocking fire upon tbe outlaws, and, though at loDg taw, aided the gunboat in clearing the chaparral ol the last scamp. General Mejia, learning that a heavy assault was making on one of the forts, put himself at the head of five hun dred cavalry and galloped down to the assaulted point, and arrived just in time to see tbe fieeiog outlaws disappear in the chaparral. Wh'le tbe charge was being made gt the lower end ot tbe line a fur ous artillery and musketry fire was being kept up on the upper forts, bat without effecting anything. Fully one thousand men were lead against these torts. The forts main tained a heavy fire upon the outlaws and kept them at a respectable distance. An imperial cavalry force went up to see bow things were go ing, where so much smoke was risiug, and upon seeing the situation ot affaire, with Gen. Mejia at their head, dashed in and put the rascals to flight, taking from them one gun. Altogether the firing continned for two boars, when it > ied oat. The imperial troops maintained their envi able reputation admirably. The citizens responded nobly, and were on hand for a fight, in which they were disap pointed. If possible, the confidence in Gener al Mejia was augmented. Although fifty- eight prisoners were taken and large numbers of outlaws killed and wounded, the imperial loss was several wounded and less than a doz en killed. A considerable quantity of ammu nition, abandoned by the fleeing outlaws, has been captured. Tbe Captain of tbe gunboat Antonia, jnst arrived from below, reports the outlaws swimming the river in great numbers and in the utmost consternation. General Espinoza, second in command in the outlaw army, is killed, and bis body is in tbe bands of the imperialists. General Mejia has just returned from the front, where he was from tbe beginning of the fight until the com mon enemy of mankind disappeared. The very latest from the front leaves tbe imperial ist Troops in pursuit of tbe fleeing outlaws.— It is reported apon very good authority that General Hinojosa was wounded and taken to Brownsville. Reports from Brownsyille justi fy us in saying that the outlaw loss exceeds fire hundred men in killed and wounded. Bntenta Mexico tfio Cord idle Between [From the Florence ndence of Opinion Nationals, Oct. 24.] King Victor Emanuel gave an audience to tbe Mexican Ambassador on the 23d, when the representative of Maximilian addressed the King as follows: The great affection of the Emperor Maxi milian for your Majesty causes him to regret that so long an interval should have elapsed without his being represented at your Majes ty’s court. Tbe Emperor hopes that tbe bonds of amity now existing between the two young sovereigns may be drawn still closer.” The King replied; “I wish all happiness to the Emperor, to his family and io Mexico. The present relations between Italy and Mexico cannot hot grow more and more satisfactory, and you will al ways find me disposed to promote the same as far as possible.” Her "New^s Unimportant The Liverpool Markets- if •' • ^ —**.' *■» & * /'A j \*< % A STOCK OF COTTOli AT LI VERPOOL, 4 ^ &c., &c., &<!. j Father Potter; Nov. 13. .The Belgian steamship Liverpool, with Liv erpool dates to the 3J inst., arrived here at 3 O’clock, P.

We enjoyed the pleasure and honor of an intimate personal acquaintance with him since 1840. He has ever proved to us,as he has to many, a warm hearted friend; one who sought not to detect faults and errors in thte with whom he has associated, bat was ever r« to throw the mantle of charily over t short comings. He was modest and tmassnming. His hand was ever ready to help tbe struggling, who sought bis advice or his assistance.
