New Orleans, Oct. 31.—The Crescent of the 31st, says Capt. E. Shutes of the steamer Hancock, from Galveston, reports that ad vices from Matamoras of the 26th ult., say that the city was still in the possession of the imperialists. Several unsuccessful attacks had been made by the Liberals, but they bad been driven from the field at each attempt, with great slaughter. The loss of the Imperialists was slight. DEATH OF' I.ORD PALMERSTON. It is an old saying that “Death loves a shin ing mark.” One of the most eminent of English statesmen, and whose official life has been protracted for upwards of half a centu ry, died recetitly in the lulness of his fame, lie was the oldest but one of the brilliant trio, (Brougham, Lyndhurst and Palmerston) which has shed so much lustre on the British annuls. Lord Brougham stilt survives in a green old age, verging on his 90tlr year.— Lord Palnferston entered public life uuder the auspices of the Tory party, and rose, by degrees, to the post of Prime Minister.— In ttie revolution of parties in England, which led to the ascendancy of the Whigs, he divided with Lord John Russell the iead ership of that party, each being alternately Prime Minister. Lord Palmerston has never entertained the extreme opinions held by Lord John Russell on Parliamentary reform, be ing in favor of a more restricted suffrage than the latter nobleman. He stood iu a similar position in England, to that of M. Guizot in France-, while the party of which be was the organ aud representative resembles very much that of the juste millieu iu France, of which M. Guizot was the head. Lord Palmerston’s influence with the House of Commons was potential, of which his long continuance in the office of Premier was the evidence. He is said to have under stood the management of the House so well that he was rarely defeated in any question in the success of which he was interested.— He never spoke unavailingiy. To borrow a phrase from Mr. Burke—“he knew howto hit the House between wind and water.” What influence his death will cause in the foreign polity of Eugland time will soon de termine, as Parliament assembles shortly.— ft is not impossible Unit Mr. Gladstone will be his successor. The line of domestic poli cy is sufficiently indicated by tlie general course of measur es adopted by Lord Palmer ston aud sustained by the Wbigs. Lord John Russell is, we perceive, spoken of as the individual who is, iu the, technical lan guage of the English papers, “to hold the seals,” hut in our opinion his sway would be but temporary. Mr. Gladstone is the “bright particular star ” iu the horizon of English politics. An Explosion on the South Carolina Rail Road.—A painful accident occurred yester day on the South Carolina Rail Road, or rather a branch which resulted in the killing of three men—ad engineer and two firemen. The particulars, so far as we have been able to gather them, are, that a freight train which had been waiting on tlie Camden Brunch the allotted time for another train to pass, moved forward, and, after proceeding a certaiu distance the expected traiu was ob served approaching, when the on the freight engine immediately reversed the machinery, which act was instantly followed by an explosion of the boiler. Mr. W. H. Suder, the engineer, and two firemen who were with him, were thrown a distance ot several yards from the locomotive. When tnscoyercd tbrir bodies were lifeless and in a terribly mangled condition. No other casu alties are reported.- Charleston Cocriet, id. Tin!.

Milledoevillb, Oct, 17tb, 1865, At the close ot our report this morning, the Couvention having no business before it took a recess till 3 o'clock p. m., to await the report ot the committee of sixteen. THE LEVI AND SALE Os PROPERTY. On the reassembling of the convention Air. Parrot of Bartow,introduced an ordinance to prevent the levy and sale of property by Sheriffs, until after the adjournment of the next Legislature. The stay law of the last Legislature being of force only during the war, tlie levying of executions and sale of property at this time was, he declared, pro ductive of a great sacrifice of property. The ordinance was on motion, referred to a select committee, composed of Messrs. Parrot of Bartow, Boyd of Newton and Hill of Mor gan. ■* REPUDIATION. Judge C. H. Sheckley of Columbus, intro duced an ordinance declaring null and void all liabilities created by tlie State in aid of the war, which he desired should be referred to a special committee of seven to be ap pointed by the chair. The introduction of this ordiuaoce gave rise to considerable discussion, which was participated in by Mr. Parrot of Bartow. Mr. Reynolds of Newton, Gen. Hansell of Cobb, Air. Jenkins of Richmond, Mr. Seward of Thomas, and others, the aisagieement being oti the reference of the ordinance. Air. Vance of Polk, moved to lay the ordinance on the table for the balance of the session. This motion was opposed by Gen. Hansel), Mr. Reynolds Mr. Revan, Mr. Jenkins aud Air. Parrot, who desired that the matter sjould b(G#ft, with the commit ee ot sixteen, to be reported upon with other matter con tained iu the Governor’s Alessage. These gentlemen were unwilling to dodge a ques tion so important and so deeply affecting the character ot the State. They were unwilling that Georgia should bo subjected to the dis grace ot repudiation and were iu favor of settling tlie liabilities of the State in equitable terms. All-. Seward contended that there was no legal Obligation to pay, but was willing to scale the war debt to a specie basis and pay it. Much of the debt he said was not aDd never would become due. It was pay able one year after a ratification of pence be tweeu the Confederate States and the United States, which could never take place. If he agreed to pay a man $5,000 on the birth of his first male child, aud the man never bad a male child, he thought he would not be obliged to pay the money.’ The motions to lay on tlie table and to re fer to special committee being withdrawn, the subject was left with the Committee of Sixteen, who, it is helieved, will report to morrow adversely aud in favor of sealing and paying the war debt. THE EMANCIPATION ORDINANCE. Mr. Jenkins from the Committee of Six teen, reported Article I. of the amended Con stitution, which comprises the Bill of Rights, and is, with some slight alterations the same as that adopted by the Convention of 1861, with an additional eiause, declaring that as the United Slates Government have emanci pated the slaves of Georgia as a war mea sure, and have put the measure in practical operation, slavery or involuntary servitude, except as puuishment for crime, shall not exi.-t in Georgia, but that this acquiescence in the action of the government of the Uni ted States shall not prevent or eStop anv citizen from appealing to the justice and magnanimity ot the U. S. Government for compensation for liis propel ty. This with the other sections of the constitution so far as reported by the committee, was adopted without opposition or debate. The Conven tion adjourned tilt half past nine o'clock to morrow morrfiug. THE SPIRIT OF THE CONVENTION. Thus far the deliberations of the Conven tion have been of the most harmonious char acter. It was. apprehended on Thursday that un exciting discussion would he induced by Mr. Hill’s motion to reconsider the ordi nance repealing the Ordinance of Secession, but all such apprehensions were happily dis pelled this morniug by that gentleman's withdrawal of his motion to reconsider. After the recommendations of the Gov ernor's message, it was thought that there would be a strong effort made in favor of the repudiation ot the war debt, but it is evi dent that a change has taken place in the views of many members on this subject within tlie past ten days. There are some who will adhere to repudiation, but I think there is a very decided majority of the Con vention who will iavor an equitable adjust ment of all liabilities, of whatever kind, that have been contracted on the good faith of the State. The Committee of Sixteen will probably make their report on this subject to-moirow. From the manner in which the business of the Convention is progressing, and the workiug ipirit of the body, especially of the able Committee of Sixteen, which so thor oughly muturos mutter for its action, Ido not think the session will occupy more t ban somo five or six days longer. There la an evident auxlcty outlie part of a majority ot the members to accomplish their work and return to their homes. POLITICS.

Very little time is allowed for the arrangement of polit ical combinations, but if the people of the several districts act promptly, suitable candi cat< s can be selected, and it is doubtful whether tbe true iuterests of the State and country will not be quite as well represented as they would be if lime was allowed for the “fixing of tlie triggers ’* by the politicians. No time should be lost iu the first Congres sional District in bringing out an able man for Representative, with candidates for Gov ernor and State Representatives. As there are no questions now to divide Ibe people, it is to be hoped that no contest will be inau gurated in the approaching election.

Saturday’s Procredtagi—Faurth Day. MILLEIIfIEVILLE, Oct. 28. On the opening af the Convention this morning alter the irnusacliou of proiimiuary business, Mr. Parrel's Ordinance suspending levy and sale of property was reported by the special committee to whom it bad been reierred, with a recommendation that it be pgssed. It was finally omeudml am as Jo suspend such levy and satjs until the Legis lature shall otherwise direct, and then on motion was recommitted to the Committee. Mr Williams, of Muscogee, Introduced an ordinance to establish the Judicial Depart ment of the Slate of Georgia. The ordinance makes several important changes iu the old system and authorizes the ei'tublishnmnt of a in e#» It county for the trial of minor criminal offences, to hold ii* session* once a month or ofteucr. The <*• distance, after aoum debate, was referred to the enmmtUeo of sixteen •KPPUtAITOg-WUg MKSoirriOS TO IWKSUIENT JOHHSosSS WStIIRS. Mr. Warren oi J'ulaskJ, offered e i«*o|ii - tioo for the appointment of a committed of Ova, to inquire of the |*rovWounl Governor whether U ws* a emuimon preanutw) l>y Prcslmmt Johnson, for thdle-eeWbllsljnHiq of amicable relations with the United States ! Government, thftt the State of Georgia should repudiate the debt contracted in aid of the late civil war. Air. W arren was opposed to repudiation per se If however tbe repudiatioi* of the war debt was a sine <put i ton, if without repu diation the State was to be excluded irora the Union, he desired to know it from the most reliable and authentic source. He wanted no telegraphic dispatches to be spiting upon the C'onveition as in North Carolina, at the moment when this body was about to vote on this important meas ure. We were in u position to be dictated to by the conqueror. We have already ac cepted that dictation in the emancipation of our slaves—if we were required to repudi ate the war debt of the Stale, be wished that tlie responsibility of lbs act sliouid rest were it belonged. If it was au act of coer cion, he desired that it should so staud on the record. Col. Goode of Houston, sustained the re solution in a spirited speech. VYe had suf fered degradation already. He was opposed to making such au inquiry. The convention should he governed in its action by its own convictions of duty by its own sense of honor. There was a misapprehension at the North in regard to this matter. It was snp posed that the debt was a secession debt,— a purely rebel debt. This was not so. He had opposed secession in the convention of 1861. He had never believed that secession was the proper remedy lor tlie wrongs of the South. But he had been a member of the Legislature of Georgia, and as a Georgian stood by the State in resisting her enemies. He. with others who had oppposed secession, had voted money to clothe and feed the brave soldiers who were defending our homes aud The debt was contracted by the people of Georgia without distinction of party—it was made in good faith—the honor of Georgia was pledged,—aud for one lie would never vote to fix the slain of repudia tion on the escutcheon of our proud old Com monwealth. There was no reason why we should ask through the Provisional Governor the views of Prelident Johnson. Such a course would be still deeper humiliation.— He hoped therefore that the resolution would not be passed. Air. Keauan of Bald win,moved that Ihe reso lution be laid on the table. In the terms of re construction [imposed by the President there was no such couditiou as the" repudiation of the debt of the Slate. The U. S. Congress 18C4, passed a law in which the repudia tion of the war debt of the rebellious States was set forth among the conditions, bat President Lincoln did not sign the law, and in his subsequent proclamation lie did not make any such requirement. President Johusou required no such action on our part or he would have made it known to the Con vention. Hou. A. H. Cbappel, of Aluscogee, sup ported the resolution. He islt no humilia tion iu making the iuquiry. It was well for the Convention to kuow the views of the President who had proved himself our friend, aud who now stood as a barrier between us and these radicals who sought to inflict still greater injury upon the South. President Lincoln bad prescribed repudiation in his proclamation, aud President Johnson fol lowed out the idea in his letter to Gov. Hol den, of North Carolina, which was sent as au act of friendship to the South. Air. Matthews, of Oglethorpe, opposetHhe resolution. The actiou ot the Convention on this subject should be governed alone by the honest convictions of the members. He was opposed to repudiation. He did not feel that Georgia was disgraced or humiliated.- Her sons bad contended manfully for Southern independence. They bad failed, and like .men they accepted 'he result. There was no disgrace m this. But there would be last ing disgrace and degredation in repudiation, which, for one he was unwilling to sliare. It was not in the power of Government to in flict such a disgrace upon us. Only bayonets aud dungeons can prevent uouesi men r.,,,.. paying their honest debts. The Speaker paid a high compliment to President John son for Ins generous and manly course to the South, aud expressed the belief that he would impsoe no such terms as repudia tion. Geu. Hansell, of Cobb, hoped the resolu tion would he laid on the table, lie did not believe that any such terms would be re quired of us. Gentlemen had said that we had already submitted to terms depressing our people of their property and rendering their lauds comparatively valueless—that we had swallowed the camel and were straining at a guat. If we had submitted to the loss ot our .-laves it was as a result of the war— it was accomplished by the military power mill we could not resist it. If we have swallowed the camel he was in no humor tor a dessert, even if it was a gnat. The State of Mississippi did nor repudiate her war debt, aud it was known that the President had most cordially approved the action of her Convention. It was not proper for us to iuvite him to impose repudiation for which be would never vote, as a condition of re union. Mr. Hill, of Morgan, favored the passage ot the resolution. I must close lor the mail. Mr. Cohen ad dressed the Convention in opposition to the resolution, which was laid on tbe table by a decided majority. I shall furnish the remarks of Mr. Cohen tom rrow.
