The lines of party are now being drawn so el<we!y that it is not difficult to anticipate their action as regards the most impoitant measure'of the present CoDgreas—the re al mission of the Southern members to their seats. The harmony that usually subsists Vtween the Executive and Legislative de partments was threatened with interruption down to a late period, analtetore the devel opments took place that indicated the direct ion which the forces of party would take. The Republicans came to Washington in im posing numbers. The course of proceedings of a section of the more violeut among them had been plainly marked out. Thadeus Ste vens, Snmner and Wilson, the leaders of this section, appeared to be satisfied with nothing short of exclusion from Congress for an inde finite period, with confiscation of property. Their programme embraced the conscqueuces that involve all the penalties of conquest. If their plan is permitted to prevail, the Con federate States would be remanded to the condition of Territories. The chief actors in these extreme measures would not only in flict on the insurgent States the pains and penalties of civil degredation, but couvert their possessions into the means of pay ing the debts incurred in their subjugation. The number o'! these extremists fortunate ly constitute a minority in Congress who are able by their votes to overrule the Ex ecutive. A division between them and the mor e moderate of their party was early ap parent. President policy ot re construction gained iriends 89 soon as an interchange of views took place between the njpjnjjp**® as one Consonant to the character of oLmi, and totally adverse to tiro f i ut aft assumed tbe Southern States qeceded tohe*ponquered provinces. That there are signs that such a division at we have indicated exists is plainly visible. It first showed itself in the Senate. That body is, as it has always been, eminently conservative. They do not wish to see the government resolved into its original ele ments, and the principles to prevail in a voluntary association of Sfates which gov ern the absolute governments of the old world, in which the rights of conquest are paramount. Th« original resolution for the appointment of a committee of fifteen was materially modified in passing the Senate. In whatever manner that committee may be appointed, will in a great measure determine the character of its report. Whether it is named by the Speaker of the House aud the President of the Senate con curreutly or chosen by the vote ot each House respectively will make little difference as regards the result. If the report should be adverse to the Southern members taking their seats the President will; no doubt, nega tive the resolutions that exclude them from their places. Then will have arrived the tests ot firmness aud patriotism. There will not, we are persuaded, he found two-thirds of both houses who will place themselves in opposition to the Executive. Cou£ regional News. Botli branches of Congress seem lo be pro gressing harmoniously in the consideration aud disposal ot the business brought before them. The Republican majority is so over whelmingly large aud the party has been so thoroughly, united thus far upou leading subjects ot legislation, that tho few Demo crats holding seats have prudently said but little, but have quietly recorded their votes agaiust the extreme measures proposed by the Republican leadefs. Os the variety of legislative propositions that have been introduced and partially act ed upon, the/’Tlowing are the most impor tant ; ■ A bill extending tbe right of suflrage to the colored people in the District of Colum bia, which has been referred to the Judiciary Committee, a majority of whom, it is report ed. are in its favor. A bill to reimburse the State of Missouri tor expenses incurred iu enrolling, equip ping aud provisioning the militia. A bill to prohibit the importation of cattle irotn Europe, so as to prevent the spread of the cattle-disease in this country, which has passed both Houses aud awaits iho approval oi the President. A bill to maintain the freedom of the in habitants of the States declared to be in in surrection and rebellion by the proclamation ot the President of Ist July, 1862. It de clares all laws heretofore in lorce, or held valid in the insurrectionary States, whereby aDy inequality of civil, rights and immunities among the inhabitant* of these States, on account ot race or color, are null and void. The bill was called up in the Senate on the l.iih nisi.., and its merits discussed by Messrs. adc, Johnson, Cowan, Trumbull and Salis bury. A bill providing for‘*Thc subdivision and sale ol the gold and silver lands of the United States, and others containing valuable min erals, lot the coining of the products of such lauds, aud lor other purposes. A bill extending the benefit ol the Bouuty Law Act of March 3, 1305, ho all soldiers, •bailors add seamen who served during the late war.

The resolutions of Mr. Farnsworth, of llh 1 nois. affirming it to be the duty of Congress to place the Freedinen upon a tooting of |S> litical equality with the whites of the South, was referred to the committee of which Mr Stevens is chairman. A joint resolution has been suhmiued in the Senate, embracing the following articles, to be proposed as amendments to the Con stitution of the United States. Herald. “First. The union of the States, under this Constitution, is Indissoluble, and no State can absolve its citizens from the obligation ot paramount allegiance to ike United States. Second : No engagement made, or obliga tion incurred by any Slate, or by any num tier of States, or by any county, city or other municipal corporation, to subvert, impair, or resist the authority of the United States, or to support or aid any legislature, convention or body in hostility to such authority, shall ever be held, voted, or be assumed or sus tained, in whole or part, by any State or by the United States. Tint resolution wa9 referred to the Judi ciary Committee." The Committee on the Jndiciary has been instructed to consider and report whether any of the inhabitants of the States to be in insurrection, by the Proclamation ot the President, dated July 16tb, 1861, and July IC, 1862, are entitled to compensation for any losses of property occasioned by the opera tions of the United States armies, employed in the suppression of the rebellion. Resolutions have been introduced instruct ing tiic Committee on Printing to enquire into the propriety of printing a certain num ber of the President's Message, and General Grant's Report in the German language. The New York Tribune, of the 14tb, an nounces that the Tennessee delegation had been admitted to the floor of the House, and that the delegation from Louisiana and Vir ginia <tK urging that they too should be ad mitted to the same privilege. There are cer tainly four, and perhaps five, says the same paper, of the Virginia delegation, who can subscribe to the test oath. The Aaron A. Bkadlht Cask.— Aaron A. Bradley, a freckled mulatto from Boston, has been sentenced by a military commission to one year’s imprisonment in Fort Pulaski, for using seditious language among the colored people of this city. We uunouoce the sentence with pleasure, but in clude the culprit's name in this paragraph with reluctance, baviug many years ago, when he was frequently brought under our observation as a mischief-making character, who sought notoriety more than any legiti mate success, formed the resolution, if possi ble never to mention his name in any pub lic connection. The importance of the prin ciple carried out in this sentence is the only consideration moving us to refer to the sub ject, alter directing our court reporter to make no allusion whatever to Bradley’s case. When pretending to he a member of the Suf folk (Massachusetts) bar, from which he wus very properly expelled, we never happened to know him to have a case except those iu which himself was a party, aud he al most invariably lost them. Merely a barra trous aunoyaneein Boston, he’has only been an object of contempt and disgust here, and we believe Boston will join hands with Sa vannah in congratulation over ihe righteous sentence we now chronicle. Governor Orr of South Carolina, sends to the Legislature of that Stale some impor tant correspondence between Provisional Governor Perry aud Secretary Seward, on the subject of repudiation. The Secretary tolegrapbed to Gov. Perry that the President desired that South Carolina would “lose no lime iu making au effective, organic declara tion repudiating her.war debt.” Gov. Perry replied that it was “impracticable to make any such organic declaration, as the State Couveutiou had been dissolved, after haviug done all that the President had requested to be done, and as it was undesirable to keep a revolutionary body, like that of the Conven tion in existence any lougcr tlgtu absolute necessity required." Mr. Seward then tele graphed that the President would “await with interest" an official expression of the Legislature upon the subject. Governor Orr therefore lays the communication before the Legislature lor action in referuuce to the of ficial expression which the President is “awaiting with interest." Railroad Connection uktwkun Mayfield and Milledokvillk.— A meeting w&s recent ly held in MaOon to urge the early comple tion of the connectiug railroad link between Mayfielii end Milledgeville- Tbe importance of the project to Augusta and indirectly to our own city, is well stated in tbe Augusta Constitutionalist: “The old road from this city to Macon via Millen is a wreck; It cannot possibly, as thiDgs go, be rehabilitated in less than six months. By this line we were enabled to reach the granaries of Southwestern Georgia, the Garden, of the Stale. Sundered, by the disruption of accustomed ties from that great region, we are driven to seek connection by means of a wide circuit via Atlanta. By act ing iu accord with tbe Macon resolutions we can effectually change all that. The gap be tween Milledgeville and Mayfield is but thir tytbree miles iu length. Ills nearly all graded and ready to receive iron. A bridge over the Oconee can bp expeditiously constructed. Let the parties who are paying double or treble rates for traneportatiop, give material aid and comfort to this road. Tbe excess they are now sacrificing would furnish funds for its establishment, and give to them and the pub lic tbe shortest and cheapest air lice to the great Southwest.” The Trial of Gen. Mkhceh.—Tbe trial of Brig. Ueu. H. W. Mercer, of tbe late Con federate aripy, before a Military Commission, bas been progressing for tbe last three days at tbe Supremo Court room in this city.— Gen Mercer ia charged with murder in,shoot ing federal prisoners of war for desertion trom the Confederate ranks, which they hud voluntarily entered. The trial is proceeding very plowly, having been adjourned over without piogypaa fur two cuusecutive days, Iho Judge Advocate announcing that lie had uo further qyideoce for the prosecution to in troduce. Thus far, uo evidence bas been educed sustaiuiug tbe charge agalust Geu Mercer. Tbe witnesses tor tbe defence bare been dismissed from attendance at preaeut.

Secretary Seward has received a telegram auiiouuciug that Oregon had adopted the con stitutional ameudnuul, making this the 21*lb State by which this course Yi as been taken. Fresh correspondence on Mexican affair* has taken |>luce on Mexican matters between 1 the French Minister at Washington and Mr. Seward, and induced the former to dispatch his c-bief Secretary, who sailed on the 14th ' instant, to Europe for dcfiulle instructions I from Napoleon. There is a rumor that the French Minister has iniimated Ural in case a Minister is accredited by our Government to the Mexican Republic, the French Legation will Ire withdrawn from Washington. Governor Worth, of North Carolina, was ioaiii’iiialed ru Raleigh on the l/ith instant. ! hut it is not likely that be will assume the exerercise of executive functions for some time yet. There was a protracted Cabiuet meeting on the l£th inst. Gen. Giant was present throughout the session. There is a strong pressure being made to induce Congress to indicate by resolution or otherwise, that it is the duty of the Adminis tration to have Jefferson Davis tried by a military court. General Butler is working the matter up. and is backed by the Secreta ry of War. They hope to force the Presi dent to accept their views. , Washington Items. General WaTen has accepted a mission to South America. It is not yet known whe ther Gen. Logan accepts the Mexican mis sion. Gen. Kilpatrick will leave for Chili at an early day. General Grant had a prolonged interview with the President on his return from his Southern tour. Secretary McCulloch appeared on the floor of the House on the 11 th for the first time this session, and took the iron-clad oath and entered upon his official duties. The resignations of Major General Gill more, aud Brigadier General Estes, have been accepted. The acceptance of the resignation ot General Wilson hag been revoked, and he is ordered to report for duty. The anomalous and unconstitutional con dition of a State being ruled by two Gover nors is now to be found in four States, viz.: North Carolina, where Worth was elected Governor over Holden, the Provisional Gov ernor, but has never been inaugurated; South Carolina, where Governor Orr was .elected and duly inaugurated, but in which State it is questionable whether the reins are still held by Provisional Governor Perry or by General Sickles; Mississippi, where Governor Humphreys has been inaugurated, but the cx-Provisional Governor Sharkey or someone else, probably some one' else, exercises the power; aud Georgia, where Governor Jen kins is inaugurated, hut “J. Johnsoß, Pro visional Governor," still holds on. In Louisi ana the Constitutional Governor and the Provisional Governor happeu to lie united in the same person, Wells, who has, however, coolly dodged being inaugurated by the Leg islature, evidently preferring to hold fast to the Federal appointment. We take the following paragraphs from the Augusta Constitutionalist of the 18th in stant : “Shootino of a Robber.— We learn that a negro man, while in the act of stealing cot ton from one of the warehouses Sunday night, was shot iu the shoulder and captured. He had succeeded in moving four bales when detected in his plundering operations. The uegro is not dead, but the killing of all thieves, whether white or black, when de tected in their wicked work, would be but justice to the peace and security of society, aud a befitting end for those who. live by dis honesty. An Audacious Robbkr.— L:ist Saturday night a negro man walked into the store of Mr. J. Moore, on Broad street, and after purchasing some smalt articles banded Mrs. Moore a five dollar bill, which she was iu the act of plaaing iu a large collecting book, when the negro deliberately reached out his hands aud gath ered it all to himself, darting out of the store, nud making good his escape, with nearly one hundred dollars in greenbacks. Mrs. M gave the alarm, but the black bird and monuey had disappeared. Another Robbery.—' The store occupied by Mrs. C. C. Dumm, 210 Broad street, was broken into early Friday morning. The robber or robbers, entered the cellar from the yard and deliberately removed the brick and mortal forming the tire place,by and this means effected an entrance into tho store. We regret to learn that nearly $1,500 worth of goods were stolen. Organizing.—A meeting of the citizens of Atlanta was to take place on Saturday last for the purpose of organizing a regiment in order to clean the city ot the scoundrels whose business is murder and robbery.— General Anderson, tbe Post Commandant is to take command. A meeting ot citizens for a similar purpose is suggested In the Ma con papers. ■\OTICK.
