Mii.lbdgevii.lis, Dec. 14. —Gov. Jenkins was inaugurated at noon to-day. In hi 9 address to the Legislature, he says that there must be no conflict between the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Georgia. The laws of the United Slates are supreme. He pays a handsome tribute to the good conduct of the negroes duriDg the war. He says they must be thoroughly protected in person and property and have the right to enter the courts. They should be encour aged to work, and they would then be the best working class in the world, and their late owners the best employers in the world. The Governor reviewed the condition of the State public institutions. He says that even light taxes will be burdensome, but thinks the people will not suffer. His ad dress concludes with, “ May God help us all!” At the close of the address, Provisional Governor Johnson handed the great seal ot the State of Georgia to Mr. Jeukins, the oath of office was taken and Charles J. Jenkins was declared by the President of the Senate to be the Governor of the State of Georgia. The sentiments of the iut ugural address are cordially endorsed by the members of the Legislature.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, thorize a survey of lands lyiDg along the rivers ot this State, subject to overflow, was referred to a select committee of three. The President appointed as that committee Messrs. Kenan, Owens and Mims. Mr. Kenan iotrdouced the follow fog. Which was adopted. Resolved, That the Joint Committee of the Senate and House of Repsesentatives ap pointed to examiue the public buildings and report the repairs necessary to be made, be authorized to employ a competent engineer to assist the committee. Mr. Stricklaud introduced a bill to require owners ot lands not residing in tbe counties in which the land lies to have their names, in - eluding districts, sections and numbers of lots registered in tbe Clerk's office of tbe Superior Court in which tbe land lies. The bill pro vide* that this registry shall take place within three years after the passage of tbe act, other wise said lands shall be sold for payment of taxes after being advertised for three months in one of the journals published at the Capi tol of the State, and also at the Court House of the county. A message was received from His Excel lency tbe Provisional Governor transmitting reports made to him from the committee ap pointed by the convention ou the Financial condition of the Stale, and by the Superin tendent of the Western and Atlantic Rail road.

The House resolution to adjonrn on the loth inst. till tbe 15th of January next, was laid ou tbe table for the present. The Senate then adjourned till to-morrow morning. House—Monday. Millledqeville, Dec. 11, 1865. At the close of tbe reading of tbe Journal and after tbe transaction of some unimportant business, Mr. Kirby, of Chattanooga, moved to suspend tbe rules to take up the resolu tion bringing on the election of United States Senators. Mr. Dubose, of Hancock, was opposed to going into an election at this time. It was important that the legislation in reference to freedmen should be perfected at as early a day as possible. Under existing circumstan ces we could very well defer the election of Senators until after tbe inauguration of the Governor. By that time we may be able to avail ourselves of the services of a distin guished citizen whom tbe people of Georgia delight to honor, and whom we feel confident would receive the almost unanimous vote of (be General Assembly for a position which be is so eminently qualified to fill to the advantage and honor of tbe State and coun try. The impediments at present existing in tbe way of his accepting the position would, it was hoped by that time, be removed. Mr. Kirby insisted upon taking up the res olution. He thought if the people could see the action of tbe House in this matter, they would stand aghast at our delay. The President had intimated that he desired a speedy organization of the State Government and tbe election of Senators and Representatives. The people desired the same thing. So far as they were concerned, they bad acted promptly. They had elect ed a Convention and a Legislature, and they expected the members ot this body to elect Senators and other officers, and to proceed with the legislation so much needed [a the present unsettled condition of the country. There was another reason. He desired to hold these elections at once, so that th& Can didates might go home and no longer occu py the attention of members. He saw no propriety iq further postponement in the ex pectation that the distinguished gentleman alluded to would accept the position of Sen ator. He understood from what he consid ered good authority, that that gentleman had put himself in communication with tbe President* and that the President had ad vised against bis becoming a candidate for that office. Mr. Pottle, of Warren, was prepared to state that the declaration ot the Speaker was unauthorized. No such intimation of the President’s wishes iD regtyjd to the Sen atorship had been given. HP (Mr. P.) be lieved that in due time the disabilities of the distinguished gentleman alluded to wonld be removed, when the State and country might have the benefit of his commanding talents and ripe Statesmanship. There were no good rea sons why these elections should be brougt on now, white there were many reasons why they should be deferred. If the President had expressed any desire in his message that Senators and Representatives should be sent immediately to Washington, it had entirely escaped bis observation. On the contrary, he bad given as reasons for believing that be did not so desire. The Provisional Governor had been instructed not to grant certificates of election to our Representatives elect. How do we know but that reasons of State exist for treating our Senators in the same man ner. He hoped the elections would not be pressed at this time. The motion to suspend the rules to take up the resolution tb bring on the election of Senators, the ayes and nays being called, was lost, ayes 6C, nays 93. Mr. Qartrell, of Cobb, offered a resolution, under the suspension of the rules, that the members of both branches of thh General Assembly convene in tbe Hall of the House of Representatives, at 11 o'clock, on the ot —and proceed to the election of two United Slates Senators, &c. Mr. Qartrell suid he did not desire to pre cipitate the elections,-but he wished to fix some certain day sooner or later ou which they should lake place. The House might fill the blanks with what day they pleased. He would be satisfied with their pleasure in the matter, and the questlou would be at rest. Tito House refused to fill the blanks and the resolution was laid on the table. A message was received from the Prov. Uqyernor transmitting the report* of the Fi nance Committee and of the Superintendent ol the Western A Atlantic Railroad, which were properly referred. The resolution to bring on the election of Stale Printer was laid on the table for lb* pre* eat. Mr McWhorter, ot Greene, offered a re* olutioo that whereas the late Convention had eutheriimd the Provisional Governor to bor row an amount of mousy for the use of the biel* on certain condition#, sud having tall *4 in obtain the money on the term* pi a sort bad, ha ha authorized and empoweted to obtain mid loan on the beat term* uraatiom hi*.

House then adjourned til 3 o’clock P. M. afternoon session- The House met at 3 o'clock The tlisi business taken up was a resolution fixing the per diem and mileage of officers and members of the General Assembly. The /*r diem pay was fixed as follows: The President of the Senate and Speaker ot the House to receive each sl2 per day ; the members oi eafh House $9 per day; the Secretary of the Sen ate and Clerk of the House, each $lO per day; the other Clerks $9 per day ; tbe Doorkeep ers and Messengers each $» per day and mileage. The mileage of members the same as prescribed by the Code, the distance to be computed by the nearest practicable mail route. . Because, perhaps, this was the most in teresting subject up today, the action ot the House was remarkably prompt. There was some opposition to the increase of pay, but the call for the ayes and nays, was on each occasion voted down, for the' simple reason, no doubt, that it would occupy too much time. The call of the counties was resumed, and Mr. J. J. Jones, of Burke, introduced a bill to prohibit white persons from buying wheat, corn, cotton, rye, tobacco, &c. from negroes without a permit from the persons by whom they are employed. The bill allows negroes to sell baskets, brooms, mats, collars, and other articles of their own manufacture with out a permit. Mr. of Bibb—A bill for the re lief of securities on criminal bonds. Mr. J. J. Jones, ol Burke—A bill to amend tbe oath of grand jurors. Mr. Boynton, of Clayton—A bill to abolish the Georgia Penitentiary. Mr. Dodson, of Catoosa—A bill to incor porate the Northwestern Mining Company. Also, a resolution to appoint a joint stand ing committee on tbe Western & Atlantic Railroad. Mr. Yahu, of Dougherty—A bill to facili tate the trial of freedmen for offences. Mr. Morrow, of Columbia—A bill to com pel tbe railroad companies of this State to furnish separate cars for negroes and free persons of color. Also, a bill to prevent the galloping of horses by residences, and the straining of horses except in a race. Mr. Tench, of Coweta—A bill to prevent concubinage among negroes, and to compel their marriage in certain cases. Mr. Stallings, of Coweta—A bill to prevent the sale to negroes of guns, pistols, dirks, sword canes, slung shots, bowie knives and other deadly weapons. Also, a bill to exempt from taxation the property of the widows ol soldiers, when such property does not exceed SOOO. Mr. Rogers, of Dade—A bill to incorporate the Lookout Valley Miniug Company. Before concluding the call of counties the House adjourned until tomorrow morning, 9 o'clock. RUMOR AND OPINION. There was a rumor this morning that the Provisional Governor had sent a communica tion to the -President requesting to be reliev ed, and representing that matters here were moving along satisfactory, and that Mr. Jenkins, the Governor elect, was a man of patriotic and conservative views, in whose hands the Executive power of the State might be safely entrusted. It was also stated that a despatch had beeu received from the President of a gratifying and encourag ing character. The first reports I have reason to believe is true. It is'also probable that there is some foundation for the latter. The rumor, together with the tone of the President’s Message, which reached here in the newspapers received yesterday I have no doubt influenced tbe action of the House this morning in refusing to go into an election for United States Senators, and also to-set a particular day for the election. It is the pre vailing belief among tbe members that when the action of the General Assembly is known by the President, and that it is the wish of a very large majority of both Houses that Hon. A. H. Stephens shall represent the State in the United States Senate, he will be induced to remove tbe disabilities which at present stand in the way of his accepting that posi tion. It is in this hope that the majority are anxious to defer the Senatorial election until after the inauguration of the Governor. Some are ot opinion that tbe President will authorize tbe inauguration immediately, and that it may come off before the recess, which will in all probability take place on Friday next. Should this be the case, and Mr. Stephens receives his pardon, he will most certainly be elected Senator by almost a unanimous vote. In that case I think Hot. Joshua Hill will without doubt ,be his collea gue. •" All eyes are now anxiously directed to wards Washington, and while some are dis trustful and apprehensive, the majority are hopeful that President Johnson will be able to resist the pressure of the radicals, and that he will lose no time in recognizing our re organized State Government, giving to it prompt admission into the Union in accord ance with bis plan of reconstruction and re conciliation. There is reason in this expecta tion, since the Legislature has confirmed its action to all his requirements, and has done and is doing what should convince even the radicals themselves that our people have ac cepted the results of tbe late unhappy war in good faith, if not with as good grace as the most arrogant and relentless of them might desire. A LITTLE EPISODE. A little affair occurred here on Saturday afternoon, which caused quite an excitement at tbe lime, and promised to result in serious consequences. There being no session in the afternoon, a considerable number of mem bers were gathered in and about the portico of the Milledgeville Hotel. In the street wasan old countryman, the proprietor of an ox-cart which was standing by. Tbe old gentleman had been indulging in whiskey rather too free ly, and was in that condition usually denomi nated, tight. Some of his friends were en deavoring to put him in Ids cart in order that he might start for home, which he stoutly resisted. The fun had attracted a large nnndier of noeroca who wero enjoying the fustic Itetween the drunken man and bis friends, when a Federal soldier came up and bade Ilium in let ins more emphatic than re spectful,lodisperse. that they had no business there. Borne moved off at hi* biddiug, while others obstinately refused to leave. Approach ing a darky who was standing oo the sidewalk, the soldier seized him by the collar, jerked him into tbe street, and {gave him a kick or two, when tbe fellow made flight. The blu* coat got tba citizen of African a> scant down, and was in the act of pummlltng him, wheu a stalwart yellow fellow by the name of Albert, who will ha remembered by the Ircuusuters of “the circus" at Herald Hall, during tb* law Gooveoilou, as a waller In those a part insult, rushed \o a country msu who was standing by wltu a Ui*e whip in bit band, seised tb* whip upselling the t ountryiuvu in bis tfforl, *ml daahml at tb* soldier, giving savaral tovare blows with tb* bull of tba whip.

But fortunately the negro’ffNLftttaeked. and who had got rather the becaflto sud denly “demoralized," and msMfjgirecfoiU'e retreat, when Albert seeing that he wss altout to be surrounded, algo look toffis heels. Ihe soldiers, by this time being reinforced by white citizens gave hot pursuit, and suc ceeded in captaring the first negro. - Albert effected Ins escape and has not been captur «•’ • f<ltnra *' e . was taken to prison. The affair caused considerable excitement among the negroes, who have their own version of the affair and are unstinted in their abuaelof the \ ankee soldiers, Kgaiust whom the affair has created a strong prejudice amongst that class of our populaiiou. T. STATE NEWS, The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church South was to have oonvened at Ma con on yesterday. It will have to consider among other more important matters, the question of changing its corporate name, ifhich is now “The General Synod of the Presbyterian Church in tbe Confederate States of America.” The Augusts Transcript says that informa tion has been received from tbe Executive Department at Milledgeville, that the elec tions of all Magistrates held prior to the ses sion of the late Convention have beeu legal ized by section 4 of article 5 of the new Con stitution. Hence there will be no election necessary in January for Magistrates—ex cept in cases where vacancies have occurred since last January. The Columbus Enquirer of the 6th directs the attention of the citizens of that place to facts made public by Mr. Dozier, with the approbation of tbe Military officer com manding in Harris county. It says our citi zens are warned of developments, brought to light in that county, that should at once put them on their guard. The conviction ot tbe editor is that the warning given to tho community is based upon such information, and is sustained by such authority, as to de mand serious attention at once. At an election held on Saturday last in Macon, Stephen Collins was elected Mayor. The Augusta Chronicle savs a young son of Gen. Jno. C. Breekenridge is a clerk in a Banking House in that city, and by bis in dustry and frugality, was able to contribute to the support of his father and his young family, while the latter was compelled to remain an exilo from bis native Kentucky. It is stated'that a Convention of the Inter nal Revenue Assessors and Collectors for the States of South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Georgia, is to convene in Atlanta, De cember 20, the object of which is to regulate a system of assessments and collection of taxes. Col. Jno. G. Winter of Columbus died in New- York on the 3d instant. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 12th inst., speaking of the river says The water mark at the bridge shows a rise of several inches since our last report. Yesterday afternoon there were four feet eleven inches waterjn the river. We anticipate the river will be in good- boating condition for several weeks, which will be welcome alike to our business and steamboat friends. WASTED. Wanted. OFFICE ATLANTIC A QDLF R.
