iStoo upon tWs important question was prompt
ly communicated to the Prudent, through- the

the additional Important
er measure of upm
restoration of QCOrgia to
gress of adoption by tho , r
the measure by whloh the legal'rights of the
freedmon of UieStatewiQMguarantM^t^them.
Ito other business of importance'wu-ttomacted
by tho same body to-day. Several resolutions
and bills were read for the first time, when the
body adjourned over till Friday,'to-morrow being
the day set apart by President Johnson to be ob-
semdfor religious purposes. 1 •«*•,-'
In the Honse the counties were caUed, the day
being one set apart for the introduction of hew
matter. A number, therefore, of new bills and
resolutions were introduced and read, most of
which .were for local or prWate purposes.. ;
A joint resolution was adopted to-day to bring
on the election of State House officers on Friday
next A number of candidates eft announced
for the offices of Comptroller General and Sec
retory of'State, and
on—tho candidates and their fHends maniftttfig
great interest and activity in'the. matter. Judg
ing from appearances, the present incumbents
are being hard pushed bythe "outs.” The Treas
urer alone has no opposition. That bond of $200,-
000, which is required of, that State .officer, is an
obstacle in the way of opposition to the present
popular and efficient incumbent—Captain Jones
—of that office, who, by the way, would be hard
to beat, oven did the office require no bond.
The joint committee appointed to notify Mr.
Jenkins of iris election as Governor, I am advis
ed, have discharged that duty through a written
communication to that effect. His reply will bo
given in writing also, when it is probable lie will
communicate some views on the present "tUua-
tion" ofthe State, which will be of interest to
the people who have elected him tbler Chief Mag
istrate.
At au early hour this morning the Hon. A- H,
Stephens, accompanied by his brother, Mr.
Linton Stephens, left the city for his homo in
Crawfordsvtile. A large number of his friends,
as he passed the MUlcdgevlUe hotel, crowded
around the carriage be was In to shake him by
the hand and bid him ferewell. While here his
labors were incessant anthouccessfol, l am sure,
to promoto the restoration policy of President
Johnson, and to promote also unity of feeling
and action among those who have assembled
here to legislate for the State. So may it prove
when their labors shall cease I
An instance in which “Comte' and “Laeatte
have been corroborated, I will give, as a finish to
this short letter, for the encouragement of any
reader of tho Intelligencer who has faith In
phrenology, or physiognomy.
A friend hero anxious to “get a peep" at the
veritable “Bill Arp" In preference to all the other
“dignitaries" so-called of tho Senate-house, made
his entrance quietly into the lobby ofthe same,
and seeing no acquaintance who might act as
meutor, (for ho had never seen the prodigy,) com
menced an examination for himself upon sclen-
tifle data. Now, “BIU" : la not an “Adonis" so-
called; but of course my friend was not in search
of any such flippant personage. Strange to say,
however, without other assistance than what
“Combe” and “Lnvater" furnished, he identified
his hero, as he informs me, by a head so well de
fined— so fairly exposed—and yet so significantly
peculiar—aided by a face prominent, it is true
for raven beard and moustache, but revealing
withal unmistakable evidences of sparkling wit
and genius “as /•"—that he became satisfied ho
had “seen the elephant," and waited only to ho
aisured ol the fact, which very soon occurred.—
This circumstance 1 regard the happiest, as it
certainly is the most definitive compliment that
could be paid "Bill Arp," the best and most pop
ular knight of the whole fondly of "de’ Plumes."
What the great phrenologist, or the equally great
physiognomist would say to such an illustration
of their principles, it is useless to add. S,

The advance of President Juarez from El
Paso farther into the Interior to re-establish at
Chihuahua tho National Republican Government
of Mexico is officially known in Washington. The
French, in consequence of the militaiy move
ments of the Lilicrnls, were compelled to evacu
ate Chihuahua on thb 89th of October. They
left not a single soldier there on the 29th ultimo,
and have withdrawn to the State of Durango.—
This result is highly significant. The feilnro of
the Imperialists to Hold the territory heretofore
conquered by them cannot but fell to operate as
a great discouragement to their cause. The ad
vices are as late as the 8d instant from El Paso,
and are direct from President Juarez to Senor
Romero, the Mexican Minister, at Washington.
It is said tiro-report of the Secretary of War
will satisfy the country that the same vigor char
acterizes the Department in reducing the apny
to a peace footing, which masked its action in
tlu) prosecution of the war. .On the fifet of May
last, we had in the field and in hospital, one mil-
lion five hundred and three thousand men. • This
his already been reduced to one hundred and
seventy-five thousand, and the prootogol redqo-
tlonisstia going on. By the first of July next,
the army will consist of fifty thousand men,
which the Secretary deems sufficient for a state
of peace, and he will ask for thirty-three millions
of dollaro, only, for the ytar.
Advices from Rio de Janeiro, receii .

who traded so audaciously in the gullibility of
tbetr dupes—auch braggarts in tbelr words, such
cowanfe in their acts. Not-a spark of courage
has been shown by any of them. A gang of
pickpockets could not submit themselves to be
handled by tbe police more quietly when told
they were "wanted." Let us compare the arrest
of Lord Edward Fitzgerald with that of Mr. Ste
phens. Ho wlio waa to be tho head of a real
revolution was concealed in' a house on Thommi
street, being in bed ill when Mqjor Birr and the
militaiy entered, but he fought desperately against
his assailants, and did not suffer himself to lie
captured till lie had received a dozen wounds.—
Mr. Stephens, the Head 'Centre of tiro present
wordy revolution, lmd been living luxuriously in
a magnificently fiirnisbed house, stored with pro
visions for twelve months, surrounded with a
wall six feet high, enjoying the society of his
wife and friends, with an ample supply of arras
and ammunition. But though loaded revolvers
lay near-the hands of this little band of heroes—
the proud representatives ofthe ancient Fenians,
the bold asserters of Irish chivalry—they did not
dare to touch one of them. Like Major Birr,
Colonel Lako went to Sandymount On Saturday
morning with a detachment of constables,.pre
pared for some resistance, perhaps for a bloody
struggle, but not a blow waa Btruck, not a scratch
was received. The Head Centre in his strong
hold surrendered at discretion' in the gentlest
manner posslble.and the only attempt at the heroic
made before being sent to Bridweu was an em
phatic announcement that he would have nothing
to do with attorneys lawyers, by which perhaps,
he meant to express Ids disgust at tiro numerous
"actions" of his fellow prisoners.

First—That the Mexican steamboat-Antonio,
coming up;the river, with French trobps on board,
was attacked, from th6 Texas shprewithqut any
provocation whatever. Nor was the insult to
the Frenoh and Mexican Rags, which were both
floating,on the boat,'in anyway punished.

American authorities, officers or soldiers, from
whom, on the Antrary, they received a hearty
Third—That tho same bandits were in direct
communication with the American steamboat
Tampico during the action. Tho relation of M.,
(tela Bedollierois confirmed by the unequivocal
jyt ,
mark# left on the Antonio by the projectiles sent
from the Texas shore.'
Besides this, occurrences of the same character
have taken place in tho neighborhood of Mata
moras during the stay of the enemy. According
to the daily reports of the steamers Paisano ana
could be' dSifagulshed the uniform of thj’Unlted
States and that peculiar to Cortiuas’ robbers, oc
cupy themselves in insulting and even throwing
stones from the city of Brownsville at the troops
which man said boats, and this in the presence
of tho American officers nnd guards stationed on
the hank of the river.
Such outrages, which cannot naturally be ex
plained, have been noted, and relation of them
will be transmitted to the MexicaiuGovernment

I am confident, General, that the acts of hosti

that it is sufficient for me to have called your
attention to such deplorable occurrences in order
that they be not renewed.
You are probably unaware that the assailants

GEN. WEITZEL TO GEN. MEJIA.
General—I havo the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your communication of the.0th test.,
and to say in reply that you; as a soldier, must
certainly be aware that It would require all the
cavalry of Europe and America combined so to
picket this river as to prevent single individuals
from committing such outrages os Lieutenant de
la Bedolliero complains of, and that it would not
be just In you to hold mo or my government re
sponsible lor acts of such individuals. All that
I can do is to try uy utmost to arrest the guilty
parties, and dispose ot them according tolnstruc-
tions; nnd thin I commenced to do before I re
ceived your letter, and ns soon as I bcqrd ofthe
occurrence.
Tbe soldiers on tbe Tampico were sick and
disabled men who were mustered out, and were
on tlrolr way to their homes. What crime there
could have been in communicating wife fee lib
erals I cannot possibly understand. These sick
and disabled Boldicrs had no ammunition, end
they certainly could give them very little infor
mation.
Tiro fact that there were bullet marks on tiro
starboard side of tho Antonia docs not prove
that the shots were fired from the American side,
because, as you must know, the Rio Grande Is
so crooked und has so many sharp turns that a
boat could be riddled on her starboard side uud
still every shot be tired from tbe Mexican shore.
You complain that iny officers and men affiliate
with tire liberals ami Welcome them. This is
not strange. Tire liberals claim thut they fight
for their freedom. Their cuusc, then; Is one that
1ms awakened the warmest sympathies lu every
American breast. It would be as impossible lor
nro to prevent this, even if T felt so disposed, as
it would be to stop tho-motion of.tiro earth. But
1 do not feel so disposed. During our late war tiro
officers and men of French and English men-of-
war lying in porta in our military possession, al-
flliatecl continually and exclusevcly witli our en
emies, as at New Orleans and Norfolk, und yet it
was not thought necessary to communicate with
them on tiro subject. They were permitted to
chooso their own associates.
I have only heard of u single instance when a
mob of Mexicans threw stones at your gunhoatB,
and tills mol) was promptly dispersed hv my
gourds.
I have never heard of a single soldier iunkiug
insulting remarks, but have heard that Mexicans
frequently rnnko them. It would be Impossible
for mo to stop this, because 1 have not the force
to spare for pickets, t bough I felt disposed to do
It; but I do not. feel so disposed, because ever
slnco my nrrlvnl here you linve allowed a sheet,
published in Mutaiuoms and printed in the Eng
lish and Spanish languages, (tally to vilify and In
sult tiro government, the people ami tho army of
the United States; nnd tills, too, after your at
tention, and tlmt of Senor Robles lmd been called
to It. ,
You, General, have no right, to complain of my
conduct during tho siege, I permitted the wo
men and children to come here from Matamoras,
meat to go over to your citizens who remained,
grass for the cows oftlro sanro, and wood to en
able them to cook their meals. Humanity re
quired this. In return I gave the wounded libe
rals wlio were helpless and destitute shelter,
medicines and food. I invariably did tills for
my wounded enemies. For whom have I done
the most in this mutter? Is It not about nn equal
tiling?
Again, you promised to release American citi
zens, after my ilemaml was made, from being
pressed into military service under you, contrary
to tiro trenty between Mexico nnd tiro United
States, and yet yesterday I heard of three that
were still held. I believe this to be entirely tiro
fault of your subordinate officers, and do not
blame you for it. *
Again, yon have converted an American
steamer into a gunboat and hoisted fee Mexican
flag on her, without first buying her and chang
ing her nationality, according to law. Against
this I hereby protest, and If not remedied will at
once lay tiro matter before my superiorAfflcers.
As Monsieur Clone, commander of fee naval
division In tiro Gulf of Mexico, has also ad
dressed nro on some of tho above subjects, I
sliould bo pleased Jf you would send him a copy
of this letter, as I do not wish to correspond with
two different commanders.

A Northern Man’s Experience wiTn
Freed Negroes down South.—A Macon (Go.)
correspondent thus vrltes to the Cincinnati
Knqumr;
“I will briefly relate to you my experience for
tiro past four months with free darkies. Tiro first
one I hired was Jerry, agreeing, on mv part, to
pay him a fair salary, and Jerry stipulating to
attend to my room for at least one month, or no
pay, and the declaration that lie would stay with
me all the time. At tiro end ofthe fourth day
Jerry broke into my trunk, stoic one hundred
dollars worth of clothing, and walked fortli into
fee street. In a few days, by dint of persuasion
and the promise of $12 per month, I hired John
upon tho sanro terms and general stipulations I
had with Jerry; that is, no pay until the end of
'the month, and nothing it lie quit before that
time. He worked out the month faithfully, nnd
I was congratulating myselfupon the good luck
of having found a faithful and an honest servant
I paid him off, and was so much assured of his
honesty that I entrusted $5S to him to take to a
friend of mine across the street, to whom I owed
feat sum. Ho stole tiro money, nud I put him
injnll; but, upon his mother's serious impor
tunities, I agreed to release him, provide^ she
would hind him to mo for five mouths to work
(tout. This she did in all the solemnity of the
negro character. No sooner was John released
than he and his mother took the train for Atlanta
upon my money. The last I heard from them
they were at a grand fancy dress ball, enjoying
themselves splendidly.
I next hired Arch, who came with plenty of
recommendations tlmt ho was houcet and always
lmd been. lie cleaucd up my office one morning
only. About ten o'clock 1 was called upon by
Captain Night, watchman at the general passen
ger depot, with Arch under nrrest. Night stated
that after Arcli left my office tlmt morning, he
went to the depot where passengers witli their
baggage were assembling to go off on the mor
ning train; tlmt he grabbed a carpetsack tight in
front of Its owner, and tried to outrun the whole
party. He was captured and the Mayor had
sent him to tiro work-house for sixty days; and
that ut the solicitation of Arch he hail called to

“Was tiro evidence ugaiusl him direct and
positive, Captain?”
“Yes, sir, positive.”
“Then I’ll do nothing for him."
Such is my experience with theso negroes
since they' were freed. Ami In dismissing tho
subject, I may remark tlmt it is a tale any one
else here can tell with |iertl*et truth.
A Warning to Young Men.—A young man
in tills city Ims liecn in tiro hntilt of visiting the*
residence of n widow lady who:
“Like Jeptbs, Judga ot Israel,
ll«d a daughter pasting fair."
The yuuug man was assidious in his attentions,
and was a constant visitor. Tills notice awoke
In the young ludy’s heart the tender passions, and
in her dreams site imagined she would become
tiro wife of her Adonis. Matters kept on in the
sanro old way. Tho young man continued his
would remark; “What did I tell you?" The
young man went- out to Ids supposed charmer'a
nouse tiro oilier evening for tiro purpose of tak
ing ten. During tiro meal, the mother usked,
"When ure you and to bo married ?” The
young man leaned back in ids chair nnd coolly
remarked tlmt lie had no idea of marrying any-
liody, and that he nnd the dnughter were noth
ing hut friends. He said lie supposed she under,
stood It so all the time. The yuuug lady said
not u word, hut rose up, seized the tea-pot, which
was filled with hot tea, took off the lid, and threw
Its boiling contents into his face, scalding him
severely, and loavlng.an ugly mark. She then
fhrlously ordered him to quit her sight.
Thb Mormons say they cannot modify their
“peculiar views," because, fee Deseret Neut de
clares, their views are fee revelations of God.
The Philadelphia ladies are said to he in re
bellion against the winter fashions aud propose
independent gtyles of feer own.
