Mr. Saulsbury replied in opposition to Mr. Sumner. He said there were strong indi cations of a split in the Republican party. He declared that it the President would stnud by the principles of bis recent special message, he would promise him the support of two millions of citizens who did not vote for him. Mr. Cowan also replied to Mr. Sumner, saying that the statements he had made were all based on anonymous letters ami entitled to no credit. HouJe. In the House, Mr. Stevens introduced a bill to double the pensions now received by those who were made pensioners by the casualties of the late war ; to pay indemnity for the damage done to loyal men by the rebel government and rebel raiders ; and to enforce the confiscation laws so as to pay the same out of the confiscated property of the enemy.

The New York Times remarks: ‘ The majority that followed Mr. Wilson no Thursday doubUess acted from what they considered the highest motives of patriotism iu undoing as far as possible the agree lucut between the two bouses. But it will shortly be seen, we doubt not, that the nearer the policy of the Ex cutive and of Congress harmonize, the safer, the surer, the speedier and the •sore satisfactory will be the work of re storing all the Slates to their true relations to the Union. The President does not iovile the election of Senators from Georgia with out knowing that there has been an boDest conformity iu that State to the requirements laid down in bis plan of reconstruction. is a question mainly, then, as far as Georgia is concerned, whether the President's policy has the approval of Con gress, or has it not. The credentials of the individual delegation* that present them selves will of course be ;sti!l a matter for thoroughly Congressional scrutiny. But aside from that, u decision on the claims of sueb States as Georgia and Tennessee must now resolve itself into an approval or disap proval ot the Executive policy in dealing with the whole broad question of the reltabi utaiion ot the unrepresented States.

To the Editor a of the Savannah Herald: Cold weather is my horror, and I never feel its first approaches without envying you of the sunny South. This year, how ever, I have had but little occasion to in dulge in that unchristian sentiment, for al though we are quite far advanced into win ter, it has, as yet, given but few, and those only feeble, manifestation* of its presence. Up to Thauksgiving day the weather had been of unusual mildness, resembling gener ally more tbe latter days ot October than stern December. But Thauksgiving morn ing brought a change The day dawned upon the city wrapped in a winding sheet of snow, that had fallen during the uight, and covered alike streets and houses In its wintry folds. Never was there a sadder or a more dreary fete day. Early in tbo morning the suow changed to a cold rain, that continued to fall in torrents all day long, and up to an advanced hour in the evening, spoiling many a pre-arranged merry-making that had been talked about and looked forward to with anxious interest tor weeks. Few ventured out, unless driven to it by necessity, and the usually crowded aud busy streets presented a singularly cheerless and deserted ap pearance. " ,; This unpropitious and disagreeable state of tbe weather was thought ot little conse quence in the hemes of the rich, where the traditional roast turkey and pumpkin pics, were smoking on the well garnished table, and where tbe family circle were gathered around, after tbe dinner, drinking old port and madeira by tbe ruddy light of a cheerful coal fire. To them the tempest without only gave a keen relish to the enjoyments of the home comforts within. But how different with the thousands of working men and wo men of this city, who had counted on it as a day of relaxation from toil not only, but of positive out-of-door eqjoymcut; those who are accustomed to look forward to a holiday ns au basis in tbe desert of their life of labor and privation ! These few days in tbe year that they are able to give up to their modest pleasures, mark tbe bright pages in the volume of their existence, and anything that interferes with or forbids tbeir due celebra tion, is a positive misfortune. Then listened with sad faces to tbe wailings of the wind and the pattering of tbe rain drops, thinking of the pleasures that would have been theirs had the day been different. I am always grieved to see a public holiday spoiled aj this was on account of tbe disappointment it causes so many others, even where it does not interfere with my own plans. The most excitmg topic of news here this week, has been tbe explosion amongst the leaders of the Fenian brotherhood. Such a profusion of cards, of allegations and expla nations have emanated from both parties that it is hard to arrive at an opinion in regard to tbe merits of tbe controversy ; but it is cer tain that the money (which it appears they had succeeded in getting together to tbe urnount of near a million of dollars), was the immediate occasion of the split. The bolters, or prolestunts, or whatever they may be called, it appears, objeoted to the dispo sition that was being made of a portion of the funds, and particularly to their employment in sustaining tbe court ot almost regal luxury and splendor that tbe President, O'Mationy, bad established at tbe “Capitol" in Union Square. Whatever may be tbe result of tbo quarrel, as between the two patties to it, it will be tolerably sure to knock tbe whole scheme in the head pretty effectually. The leaders will find it difficult to restore confi dence in them, aud get another million sub scribed to tbeir “loan," after tbe mutual ex posures they have just been making of tbe motives and conduct of each other. These monies wore drawn almost wholly from the scant earnings of poor-laboring men and ser vant women, who pinched themselves in order that they might give, in the pious belief that they were conti ilmting to the enfranchisement, the well being and prosperity of the land that gave them birth, and which, even in exile, they have not forgotten, and they now wake up to find they have ouly been fuithering the ambitious ends of a lew noisy and restless spirits thirsting for notoriety, and furnishing them with tbe menus to live in splendid idle ness. The new stock exchange that has been in the course of erection for a year past In Broad street, was formally opeued on Satur day last, when the members of the stock board for one half day smoothed the wrin kles out of their serious faces, and oblivious of the noted antagonism between bull* and bean, mingled amicably together, and gave themselves up to the seductions of boned turkey, devired kidneys, champagne, and jio.it prandial speeches, in many of which the wit was as heavy as some of the stocks they deal in. The-building is fire proof through out, and constructed in the most substantial manner. The material of the Broad and Wall street fronts is white marble. The style is the revived Italian, uuusually well treated. It is au architectural ornament to the city and would attract attention anywhere. The late election for city officers resulted in the success of the Democrats, affording us some consolation for our defeat in the State a month since. The newly chosen Mayor is a man of unblemished private character, of industry, and of gieut executive ability. Whatever honesty and devotion to bis duties can do towards reforming the city govern ment we can rest assured will be done. But unfortunately for us, State legislation has so far taken the administration of our City af fairs out of the bands of the city officers, that but little can be done in the way of correct ing the evils we are groaning under. The police, the Croton water, the fire, and all the other important departments are administer ed by commissions appointed by and direct ly amenable to State authorities. The Mayor of New York has no more authority over them than the Mayor ol Savannah. All we have to do with them is to pay their salaries, and those of their appointees. The Slate is careful not to carry their interference so far as to take trom us the precious priviledge of paying the bill*. To show bow unfounded is the clamor raised against the city authorities for their extravagance, I will state the fact that of tiie taxcß raised for city purposes mae-tenth* are for the support of departments exclusively under State control. Jt is unde niable that our taxation is onerous, and that thousands arc uselessly squandered yearly, but it is the State, not the city officers that should be accountable for it. - The theatres continue to draw full houses. I believe they have all changed their bills since 1 last wrote you. At the Academy of Music, Meyerbeer s poethumou* work—L'Afri cainc—has been brought out for the first time in this country, and has had a reason able success. The music, although gene rally conceded to be below the standard of the author's other grand operas, possesses many melodies of great beaulv. In the fea ture of uiouiititty, it uas enjoyed an advantage over any other work produced at this house for years. The display of new eccuery, ward rolie and properties astonished the habitue*, who bad uecu accustomed to look upon the same dresses and decorations night after night for years past. Something in that line was sadly needed, tor the wardrobe particularly bad lately become so shabby and dilapidated as to be disgraceful, nod almost turned the performance of a grand opera Into a grand burlesque. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 22. 1865. A good story is told in connection with tbe production of this new opera. It seems an intensely radical shoddyite, of tbe misce genation sliipe, but who knows about as much of music as a pig docs of dancing, got himself up in tbe most rtchrrvhe style aud wen> to the Academy the first night of its production, under the impression that it was all about some sable temale protege of the Freedman's Bureau, but who came away in supreme disgust when he discovered that there was no nigger in it whatever. He pro nounces tbe whole thing a swindle, aud threatens to bring a suit against the manage ment to recover tbe amount of his admission fee. . ■ As I predicted, before the election, the suc cess of the Republicans in this and other States, in November, emboldened them to take a more open and decided stand in their hostility to tbe South, and to tbe President’s policy ol reconstruction. Tbe mask bo louger needed, it was cast aside, and lroiu the hour their triumph was assured, their presses aud orutors came out in opposition to the mea sures they bad figured ui approve only a few days before. This was uot done to overcome any appreheuded lukewarmness of the party’s leaders, but in obedience to those leaders’ dictation, and in the hope that under the pressure of what they were attempting to foist upon him as the spontaneous Move ment of the people, tbe President would re treat from his position and yield to tbeir de mauds. In pursuance of the course they had marked out, the opening of tbe session of Congress was signalized t>y the adoption of the most radical measures against tbe rights of tbe South. These measures did not restrict themselves to tbe denial of tbe right of speculation alone, but resolution after rus olation, destructive of every vestige of State rights, was inttoduced, and either adopted without discussion, or referred to commit tees whose composition inured tbeii being favorably reported on. These propositions, if adopted as the settled policy of. the Gov ernment, would reduce tbe Southern States to a condition of vassalage whose parallel must be sought ior in Poland or Hungary, and so iar from tending to a speedy reuuion, and the encouragement of good feeling and harmony between the two sections, would re-open the scarcely healed wounds and stimulate resistance and revolt hereafter, by furnishing a pretext that every believer in republican government would confess to be good. They strike at every principle in the Declaration of Independence for which our revolutionary ancestors, North as well as South, shed their blood so freely throughout a seven years’ war. The hopes of the radical leaders to thus force the President to abandtm bis stand, have, however, providentially for the coun try, been blasted. Knowing his strength with the people, they dare not come to an open rupture with him, and his firmness has compelled his would-be masters to yield— grudgingly and by small degrees, it its true, but the victory noqe tbe less rests with him. Its effects are manifest not alone in the Al tered tone of the radical leaders in Congress, but also in the columns of tbe presses that tnterpret tbeir views and manufacture tbeir “public sentiment.” Witness an article in to-day’s Times, evidently written or dictated by its principal editor from his seat in the House. A few days heve worked a marvel lous change in tbeir views on the absorbing questions of re-construction and representa tion. Tbe important concession made in fa vor of the, Tennessee delegation, will, doubtless, soou be followed by their full and unconditional admission to their seats, untramraeled by provisos of any kind, and this step once taken, the other Southern States, standing in precisely tbe same relation to the Uniou as that occu pied today by Tennessee, cannot be retused tbe same rights without a degree of stultifi cation ou the part of every member voting against it, that must prove u little too much for eveD a New England bigot Let us only be patient, and tbe innate sense of justice and consistency of the .people, temporarily bliu,d ed by passion, will resume its reign, and those that now oppose it will be consigned to ever lasting infamy. . Tbe Strong divorce case that for three weeks past has tilled tbe newspapers with its disgusting details, and afforded abuudant food for prurient appetites, drags its slow strengtii along. Tbe mass of testimony al ready taken would fill a good-sized volume, but there are no symptoms of its end yet. It affords a not very flattering picture ot the morals of the fashionable world in this me tropolis. Our new paid Fire Department lias not thus far justified the predictions of its advo cates, but rather ot those who opposed tfie change. It's maintenance will add a serious item to the total of our taxes, while in effi ciency it has nR proved itself up to the standard ot the system it has displaced. The substitution of horses for men to drag the engines may work well in time, but at pre sent the time occupied in harnessing and hitching the horses would serve for one of tbe companies to have their apparatus at the scene ot abtion add at work. Much yet re mains to lie done to perfect the system, be fore it will inspire the publio with the confi dence ever felt in the volunteers. -v Yours, W. The Exclusion of Virginia.— The Rich mond Times criticises with sharpness the de nial to Virginia of the right of repreaeotation in Congress, remarking as follows: “During the whole of the civil war Congress recognized Virginia as a “loyal State,” with a small sprinkling, it is true of “disloyalty” in the Interior, and gave her share of the fre quently rejected “proceeds of- the public lands” to the proper State officer Her repre sentatives also sat alongside ofStevens in the lower House and Sumner in the Senate, and were their peers in every respect. The out lawry of Virginia, by Congress, was decreed just eight months after the restoration of the authority of the laws and Constitution of the United States over every Rich of her terri tory. When a very small portion of Vir ginia was really “loyal” the present State government was recognized by Congress as constitutional. Now that the whole State is loyal, and obeys the Alexandria constitution, the State government is treated as purely provisional.” Thb Rail Road Slaughters. —The Even ing Post a year ago called attention to this subject, and allowed why these accidents and slaughters were to be expected. Iron, sub jected to great friction or numerous shocks, parts with iU cohesive or molecular attrac tion, and long before any disintegration is apparent, becomes almost as britile as glass. The metal of which the rails are composed Undergoes this concussion and disintegration by llie ordinary wear of the trains; and un less the trapk is entirely relaid at proper In tervals of time, broken rails and Wheels will be frequent, with all their murderous results. The legislature should therefore provide for a system of thorough inspection by en gineers and metallurgists; and should require by statute tbe taking up of all the old rails and tbe layiog down of new, at proper in tervals and whenever tbe inspectors shall order. Neglect in this respect should make the companies responsible fur all disasters to life, person or property; and liable to forfei ture of tbe charters to the people of the State.—JV. Y. Ereniny font.

(Signed) Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy. Navv Department, Nov. 35, 1865. The following protest against his arrest was entered by Gapt. Bcmmes: “Sih : On the 26th day of April, 1865, I was at Greensboio’, N. C., in command of a naval brigade, forming a part of the army of Gen. Jos. E. Johnston, and participated in the capitulation between Gen. Johnston and Maj. Gen. W. T. Sherman, commanding the United States army of North Carolina. Tbe condition ol said capitulation on tbe part of Geo. Johnston was that the army under his commaud should cease all acts ol war from tbe date of the capitulation, April 26tb, afore said, In consideration of which condition thus entered into by Gen. Johnson, Gen, Sherman stipulated that she officers and men comprising the army of General Johnston should return to their homes and there re main unmolested by tbe United States au thorities so long ns they observed the obliga tion they had entered into, and obeyed tbe laws enforced where they resided:- -I 'have, this day, been arrested by the order of the Secretary of the Navy ; bad a guard placed over my house, aud have been Informed that I am to proceed to Washington, in custody, there to answer a charge preferred against me, predicated upon facts which took.place anterior to the capitulation between General Johnston and Gen. Sherman. This being a violation of the capitulation on the part of Gen. Sbermau, I respectfully make this, my protest, against said arrest. (Signed) R. Skmmes. Mobile, Ala., Dec. 15, 1865. A prominent gentleman of Ibis State, just returned from Washington, says the Nash ville Banner, has furnished us with a very rational solution ol the mystery hanging around the long deferred trial of Mr. Davis. It appears that tbe President is determined that the case shall be brought before a proper ly constituted few adjudication, while, on tbe other hand, Chief Justice Chase is using the whole influence of his po sition for au iuvestigatiou and decision by a military commission, aud refuses to organize the courts in Virginia, where alone Mr. Davis can be legally tried, until ordered to do so by Congress, ou tbe ground that any thing like a fair and impartial trial in that Slats is utterly out of the question. Mr.. Cease's singular preference of a method so antagonistic to the principles of which, as Chief Justice of the United States, he is tbe guardian and conscryalor, is explained by the fact that a trial according to tbe ordinary forms and precedents, would, in ail proba bility, drag forth to disagreeable notoriety, certain acts and declarations by which be was, during the attempted nullification of tbe Fugitive Slave Law some years ago, understood to favor the doctrine of secession But it happens that the Nor thern masses are unanimous iu tbeir desire that tbe question of relative jurisdiction, as between the General Government and the States, which has already occasioned so dis astrous a war, shall be definitely and forever decided by some competent tribunal. In this they arc heartily backed and sustained by the President—besides, there is good rea son to believe that be is weary of tbe cruel justice usually awurded by military com missions. Tbe case of Mr. Davis furnishes an opportunity of putting this matter to-an effectual test, and tbe indications are that, in spite of Mr. Chase’s skeleton in the closet, the people of the North Will not suffer such ah opportunity to be lost. They are willing, we believe, to permit whatever latitude of clemency the .Executive may deem proper to exercise, in oaso the issue of a trial should be against Mr. Davis, but they are not willing that the question of State sovereignty shall remain any longer unsettled. In this matter, as in all bis course since his accession to tbe Presidency, Andrew Johnson is right, and the Chief Justice is none the less wrong. Lgt law and justice re sume their sway, even though Mr. Chase must be shown up iu his ancient role of “Ori ginal Secessionist.” Uuaineu in Rlrbmontl. A correspondent writes us from Richmond, giving some advice to New York merchants; ‘•I am satisfied your merchants hi New York are preparing for themselves a harvest of disappointment. In their anxiety to sell goods they are crowding tbe southern market to such aju extent as tempts to extravagance. I tell you the people here ore poor, and can not pay for the goods now being sent to them. And unless there is some wholesome restraint on southern trade, in twelve months from this there will be a crash among such mer chants in our eastern and northern cities as push their desire for gain beyond the limits of legitimate demand. The burnt, district of Richmond is build ing up rapidly by northern capital and rents are at enormous rates. And this city is only a sample of the whole Bouth. A small store room which cost before tbe wer two hundred and fifty dollars per annum, now rents for a thousand dollars—and this while the whole country round about is a wilderness of ruin. You caunot squeeze wine out of a turnip any more than yoq can collect debts in Virginia at this time or for yeais hence.
