Our correspondence from Milled Seville, published this n:fircing. takes up the record of the Couveuiina at the afternoon session of Friday, aniv'carries it through to the hour of the closit* of the mail on Saturday. The previous d‘-P"- !ciu ' B of our correspond ents detaii/d the proceedipgs of the Conven tion up t/Friday noon. On Fj/day afternoon the subject of repu diation was first introduced, and the discus sion Which followed, and which became very earnest and excited the next day, upon a resolution being introduced to ascertain tte wishes of President Johnson on the sub ject, is given in the interesting dispatches published to-day. THE APPROACHING ELECTION. We see by the proceedings of the Conven tion which appeared in our issue of yester day, that an oidinauoe to establish congres sional districts uud to provide for certain elections, has been adopted. It re-apportions the counties of the State into seven instead of eigbt Congressional districts, and piovides that an ejection be held for Governor, mem bers of Congress, and Representatives in the General Assembly of the State, on the 16th lust. The very brief period intervening between this and the day of election is suggestive of the importance ot prompt action on the part of the people in the selection of suitable men to fill the various positions, both State and Federal, created by the ordinance, referred to. It would be a reflection upon the intelli gence of the voting population of Georgia to reproduce, even partially, all that has been said by patriotic and piudent men in all parts of the country, respecting the necessity of a cautious and prudent exercise of the privilege of suffrage under the new political regime. If, after what has been so well and fully presented on this so.’bject, we might be allow ed to make a suggestion, it is this : The great point w jth Georgia, in common with her sish r southern States, ought to be, to ® tc '-re her full rcpresSntation m the present Congress. In order to do this, it would be better to send to Washington, if possible, men who, while devoted heart and soul to the interests of the South, would yet be unex ceptionable to the moderate Republicans. If such men can be sent, they will be sure to be admitted. The influence of the President will be sufficient to effect this. Then, once fully represented in Congress, the battle is won. The measures that will be decided on at this session, will require the vote of every south ern representative, and with a full southern representation, those measures can be de cided in a manner I bat will secure the inter ests ol the South. We would not advocate the sacrifice of any principle, even in this elec tion, nor would we recommend the practice of dupiiaiiy or double dealing in our rela tions with the Federal Government. We would reprobate -as dishonorable iu the ex treme any course & our part that would be a violation of the plighted good faith be tween the citizen and the National Govern ment. But it is righ tto remember that in future elections for members of Congress the people of the South can vote more freely than now, provided they are represented in this Congress. Therefore, the wisdom of the country, South as well as North, urges and entreats us to lay aside partizau prejudices for the present, and give our best efforts to the restoration of our State. Thus, it will be seen, that not a little depends upon the disposition manifested by the people at the approaching election. In the steps we have taken thus far, we have been guided and influenced by the Na tional Administration. Nowandhenceforward we are to act of our own free will. Nobody is dictating to us now ; we are to do just as we please. Every v< ter is to have his voice, but on the result will depend our future re lations to the National Government. The Legislature of South Carotin*. The Legislature of South Carolina has elected Hon. B. F. Perry U. S. Senator from that State for the term expiring In 1871. Tnat body adjourned on the 25th nit., having accomplished nothing, after being in sessiou four days, but the election of U. 8. Sena’-or.

Anderson, of this city, offered • resolution in the Conven tion ot Milledgsrille, that a committee of five be appointed to memorialize the Presi dent of the United States, asking the pardon of Jefferson Davis, A. H. Stephens, General Mercer, James A. Seddou, G. A. Trenliolm and other distinguished gentlemen confined at Fort Pulaski. An amendment was ofier ed and accepted to include all Confederate j political prisoners. The following named gentlemen were appointed as the Commit tee : Col. E. C. Anderson, Chatham county ; Phil Cook, of Macon ; J. C. Matthews, of Oglethorpe county; Tbotnas E. Saffold. Morgan county, and Joseph P- Hook, of Washington county. As the result of the enterprise of our tele graphic correspondent at Milledgeville, we lay before our readers on the first page of yesterday's paper the memorial prepared by the committee and reported through their Chairman, Col. Anderson, to the Convention on Tuesday. The sympathy go touchingly expressed lor the distinguished prisoners and the senti ments of enlightened humanity so forcibly presented to induce their immediate libera tion, cannot fail to awaken in every unsel fish and unprejudiced mind a desire that the object contemplated may be speedily at tained. Tue great interest very naturally felt in this and other no less imposing demonstra trations so constantly multiplying throughout both hemispheres in behalf of Mr. Davis, particularly will be greatly intensified by the recent announcement that the time and place bad been fixed for his trial upon the eburge of treason. That President Johnson is not unmoved by these frequent appeals for the exercise of executive clemency and that he will conform thereto as far as his sense of public duty will allow, a sympathising public may feel assured by the spirit of kindness which Las so con spicuously characterized his official inter course with the Southern people since liis accession to the Presidential chair. PROCLAMATION II P A NAT IOIS A L THANKSGIVING. Washington, Oct. 28. By the President of the United States of Amerim : A PROCLAMATION. Wiikkeas. it has pleased Almighty God, during the year which is now coming to an end, to relieve our beloved country from the fearful scourge of civil war, and to permit us to secure the blessings of peace, unity and harmony, with a great enlargement of Civil Liberty ; And, whereas, our Heavenly Father has, also, during the year, gracious ly averted from us the calamities of foreign war, pestilence, and famine, while our gran aries are full of the fruits of an abundant season ; and whereas, righteousness cxalteth a nation, while sin is a reproach to any peo ple : Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, Presi dent of the United States, do hereby recom mend to the people thereof, that they do set apart and observe the First Thursday of December as a day of National Thanksgiv ing, to the Creator of the Universe, for tliose deliverances aDd blessings. Aud I do further recommend that on that occasion the whole people make confession of our national sins against His infinite good ness, and with one heart and one mind im plore the Divine guidance in the ways of national virtue and holiness. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my band and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this twenty-eighth day ot October, in the year of Our Lord one thousand eigbt hundred and sixty-five, and of the Independence of the United States the ninetieth.

The people of New York and Brooklyn j Were terribly frightened, a few days since, * I by the annouucinient that a case of cholera | had actually otaui red in the latter city. Just Ins all practical men predicted this dreadful I scourge has, or will come on the people of j this country like “ a thief in the night ’’ —at ! n most unexpected moment. Its reported I appearance at Brook'yu has started the local I authorities of the Northern cities into an al | together unwonted activity, as we see by a Northern exchange. It is to be hoped that the municipal au tboriiies of the Southern cities, and particu larly Savannah, will he prompted to similar activity in devising ways and means of a sanitary character to hedge out this remorse less destroyer of the human species. It is travelling through all parts of Europe on its mission of mortality. It lias made its ap pearance in all parts of Fiance, including the city of Paris. The Paris correspondent of a London paper, furnishes some lacts rela tive to its pr. gress in the south of France, which constitute additional evidence of the c ipriciousncss of that dreadful epidemic.— He says: Tiie cholera nt Toulon mizzles the faculty, and is said to suggest difficulties in the way of many preconceived opinions. It has not tieim found that the rise aud fallot the ther moncter exercise any perceptible influence upon the mortality. It was very generally supposed that the disease followed the course of the prevailing wind; but it has been found to run against the wind and attack here aud the remote villages without leaving any trace iu intermediate places. Tonlou is said to have suffered so much on account ot want of cleanliness, but Sollies Pont, which is a fresh, brei zy, delightful place, has suffered comparatively more than Toulon. There the naval barracks, which arc most scrupulously kept clean and well aired, are learlully at tacked, while the convicts'quarters, iu which thousands of men are chained to their beds iu the immediate neighborhood of intectiou, have not suffered.’ ’ Its appearance in Belgium and England is also announced. It ia exceedingly fatal in Constantinople and “it was pitiable to see the fright of the inhabitants.” The Manchester Examiner, alludiog to a singular phenomenon recently visible in that part of the world, says : “The air in and around Harwick for many miles was filled with a small fly, a little lar ger than our common meadow midge. So dense was the cloud of insects that passen gers could only prevent their mouths and eyes from being filled by keeping up a con stant process of fanning. On Sunday, the nuisance remained unabated, and church goers might be seen in the lobbies, before en tering their pews, brushing up the insects from their garments as they would snow flakes on a winter’s day. On Monday, the flies were still to be seen, but iu greatly di - minished numbers. The Detroit News ridicules the above theory and says it is directly in contradiction to the experiences of epidemics on this con tinent. In Norfolk and New Orleans where pesti lence raged with unexampled fury a few years since it was remarked that tiierc was a most singular absence of insect life. Flies and mosquitoes were com paratively unknown during the ravages of the disease, atul astute Medical men held that the same causes which produced the disenso were unfavorable to all insect life, aud hence its absence. There is a theory that cholera is the result of an iufinitesmal culoe which floats in the air and finds its way into the lungs, but this theory has not been very strongly endorsed. The truth is, that epidemics, especially yellow fever—seem to set at defiance all the ordinarily received sanitary laws. In South America and the West Indies, yellow fever is, with rare ex ceptions, a coast disease that seldom oenc trates into the interior, and is more liable to break out at sea where wind aud storm ex ercise its most powerful Empire. Grand Lodge or F. A. M. of Georgia.— The Graud Lodge convened at its annual session on Wednesday, October 25th, at Macon, aud was more generally attended thau could have been anticipated. Probably about 150 Lodges were represented by their Officers aud Delegates, and many others made their icturns and paid their dues. The condition of the Order, as represented in the communication, shows a very favorable im pression of its general prosperity. Yesterday, the following gentlemen were elected and appointed as its officers for the ensuing year: John Harris, M. W. G. Master; Wm. Abram Love, R. VV. D. G. M. Ist District; iienj. H. Bigbam, R. W.
