No Herald To-Morrow.—To-day being New Year's Day, no paper will be issued to morrow, in accordance w5*£i the time-honor ed custom of celebrating the day, and*, in order to allow the employees of the engage in its observance. THE NEW YEAR. to The advent of a new year is one of those stages of human progress that, like mile stones in a long journey, mark our career through life. They form points of compari son between the present and the past. In such comparison we are able to estimate our gains and losses,—what progress we have made, nationally and individually, in mate rial prosperity, in mental improvement, and in all the elements of strength and power that contribute to the grandeur of nations. Despite a civil war of almost unparalelled magnitude, our productive resources have undergone no diminution, our people have been progressive ip intelligence, and in no respect have we retrograded. In such a comparison as we have indicated the result would be flattering to our national pride, to our institutions, to the Anglo-Saxon race itself; and it would be profitable as the inheritors of European civilization, reflecting back tire light that we have borrowed from the most advanced of the ancient nations did we show that we have impaired none of that heritage of liberty they have transmitted to us. It forms one of the themes of classical des cant that the foundations of English and American froedom are laid In Grecian and Roman story—that but fm^assical models, which combined the hignwt. examples of talept and patriotism, we would have had no such patterns of genius and public virtue as have emblazoned the pages of Greece, and Rome. History was comparatively a blank before their appearance on the stage of hu man action. It has become the custom, ii the pride of science, to undervalue the an cients—the fountain beads of our literature. Did those moral truths, that form the basis of ethical science, fall unfruitful from the lips ot teachers like Socrates aud Plato? Were their teachings barren of fruits? Did Aris totle explore the truths of psychology, and cununciate the first principles of government, the laws of a philosophical method, (agreeable to the knowledge of his age,) and shed no light on the path of the modern inquirer ? Who can trace the successive Bteps by which a Leibritz, a Hume, a Descartes was led by their discoveries to the point they reached through the investigations of those early masters of philosophy. It is not denied that in physical science I 1 --- moderns have distanced those who have 1 """ “XQelled them in the work of MMe and a3 they have too i! sculpture, painting and arcmteciuic. It would indeed have been wonderful if the researches of the chemist and geo- J-" ! st had penetrated the arcana of ua- ture when, Cicero was delighting the Romans with the strains of his oratory, or Herodo tus was reciting his histo* ! tfore the au- ‘ mces that hung enraptured ou his accents ■ Olympic games.

While the resolution ratifying the amend ment to the Constitution abolishing slavery was beforetiie Honse of Representatives of Georgia, a discussion arose in that hotly in regard to the construction of the second clause of said amendment, which declares that ’’Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation/’ By some it wsb contended that the clause gave Congress the power to interfere with the do mestic ’affairs of the States,, while others maintained that it did not so enlarge the the powers of Congress, bat was on the con trary restricting in its character. # To affirm this latter viewrof the case the following resolution was added to the'ratlfl- cation resolution : “Beit further Resolved, That .in ratifying the amendment to the Constitution of the U. S., we do so, believing that the ConeTess of the U. S., has the power?only to make per manent the emancipation of slaves, and that all rights of cilizenshiD can'"be conferred only by the States respectiffely—and such, we un derstaud and believe, to have been the object of said contemplated in the second section of sail amendment, and (pat nothing therein con tained authorizes Congress to interfere with the internal affairs of the States.” f Uosophy which has iinbib learning.

The funeral obsequies of the dead of the Eighteenth Georgia Battalion (Savan nah Volunteer Guatffs) were obrerv6d-*with appropriate solemn! I loir ,at Laufel Grope Cemetery yesterday aTterfioon. Notwithstand ing the inclemency of the day, it fW appoint ed hour, 3 o'clock, a very large number of our moat respectable citizens, ladies aud gen tlemen and youth, including the relatives and friends of the gellaut dead, had assembled at tho entrance of the reception vault, where the boxes containing tho remains had been placed aide by Bide and covered with laurel wreathes and bouqets of choice flowers. The tad company bad gathered round, and iu the silence of deep feeling—more expressive than the military pomp and swell of martial music, with which the last honors are paid to lnlleu soldiers—awaited the performance of the burial service by the attending clergy. Af ter the arrival of the Metropolitan Fire Company, in a body, among whom, es in the crowd, we observed many vet«ruu volunteers in the lato war, companions in armB of lliqge whose manes they had come to honor—an appro priate hymn was sung; after which the so lemnly impressivo burial service of tho Pres byterian Church was read by Kov. Dr. 1 S. £. Axson, of tbe Independent Presbyterian Church. After the reading, a most fervent and feeling prayer was addressed to the Throne of Grace, by N»e Rev. SylvanOs Lan drum, of the Savannah Baptist Church, the ceremonies being closed by the Right Rev. . Stephen Elliott, Blfhop of Georgia, who pre face-) pie closing burial service with a brief but most lynching allusion to the solemn oc casion, which thrilled tbe hearts of all present. The funeral rites over, the remains of those who had been ltamified were borne to tbe family lots of tbe dtv» ase d ft* burial, while the eleven, whose rcto,i ns *' C00 i ( j noh be iden ified, were buried in the Savannah Volunteer Guards' lot, together, as thy. j, a( j hgled their blood on “ their field of gU,^ Wuen the graves bad been closed over aSa. strewn with wreaths and evergreens and flowers, the sad throng withdrew in silence, many,a kindred heart experiencing a relief tbat the loved and lost ones bad been gather ed to rest in the bosom of their native soil. After considerable .discussion the above resolution was stricken out, as being nnne- ccssary; its opponents ^naintainibg- that no resolution of construction by the Legislature could affect a question which would be de termined by future Congresses and the Su preme Court. ■ ■rj ; It seems tbat similar apprehensions of an enlargement of tbe powers ot the General Government over the domestic affaire of the States, was entertained by the Mississippi Legislature, who ratified the amendment of the Constitution with the qualificatftn “that this ratification is expressly made and adopt ed upon the conditions and with the reser vations following: “1st. It shall not be construed into an ap proval or indorsement of the political princi ples or doctrine that the reserved rights of a State, can, without the eon«ent of such State, be usurped or abridged by the Federal Gov ernment, through the instrumentality of a Constitutional amendment. 3d. It shall not be construed into expressed or complied consent on tbe part of tbe Leg islature that Congress shall abolish slavery where it lawfully exists in any State that may refuse to ratify said amendment- 3d. The emancipation of slavery in this State being a fixed fact—distinctly recog nized by her condition and by recent legisla tive enactments, designed in good faith to maintain and protect tbe civil rights of tbe Ireedmen appertaining to their new condition of freedom. The second section of said amendment shall not be construed as a grant of power to Congress to legislate in regard to the freed- ineu of this State; but so far as relates to this State it shall be construed simply us a grant of power to Congress bf appropriate legislation to prohibit and prevent tbe re establishment of slavery therein.’’ While there can be no doubt that a majori ty of those in our own legislate who voted for the iMiflcation resolu the captions RoJ wjth t-bove set forth, it is very construction jvhl^h ■ they Nor me cibaw cS the constitutional alluded to,. is not admitted by extrenAsts of the Republican party,- who claim lor Con gress, under that olause, power to enact and enforce such laws as they may deem “appro priate” for the government and protection of the black population ot the respective States, la evidence of this tact, we cite the follow ing extract from the speech of Senator Trum bull, when giving notice of his intention to introduce a bill to- enlarge the powers of the Freedmen’s Bureau. ; He said : • “I have never doubted that under the se cond section of the amendment it would be competent for Congress to protect every per son wilhiffthe United States in all the rights of person and property-belonging to a free citizen. And to secure those rights is the object ot tbe bill I propose to introduce. 1 think it important that ac tion should be taken on this subject at an early day, both for the purpose of quieting apprehension in the minds ol'-the many friends of freedom, lest by local legislation.or a prevailing public sentiment in some of the States persons of the African race should coutinue to be op pressed, and, in fact, deprived of trne free dom ; and for the purpose of showing to those Constitutional relations of said Stales totbu TPi-HEnotersof ci TT rkitn,l Glaloa * • *■; ia T ** - - * — «i* United Stales. sm ” Sec. 4.
