SENATE.
Mr Moore, of the 7th? moved to reconsid
er the action of the Senate yesterday in
the passage of bills to incorporate several
Fire Companies iu the city of Augusta. The
pound of objections to these bills is their al
leged uncoustitutionality. The motion was
lost.
Mr Redding, Chairman of the Committee
on the Penitentiary, reported back to the
Senate a bill iu favor of the abolition of the
Penitentiary system of punishment, with
the recommendation that the hill do pass.
The bill was made the special order for
Wednesday next..
Mr. Thornton, of the 24th, offered a reso
lution requesting the Governor to call upon
the several banks of this Slate to make re
turns ol their condition within twelve clays,
and that the same be submitted to the Gen
era! Assembly. Agreed to.
Mr. Mims, of the 17th, offered a resolution
authorizing the Governor to prosecute claims
of State to cotton lately captured by Federal
Army. Referred to Committee on Finance.
House resolution requesting withdrawal of
military, restoration of private property, and
restoration to the people of the privilege ot
the writ of habeas corpus was adopted.
House bills were then read the first lime
and Senate bills the second time, after which
the Senate adjourned.
HOUSE.
The House has already determined that its
sessions shall begin at 9 o’clock in the morn-
ingandeml at two inthe aiternoon, and that
there shall be but one session iu the day.
The members seem disposed to work. I
am happy to inform you that your Repre-
seutaiive, Air. Russell, is one of the most vi-
giiant, industrious and effective laborers in
the great work of legislation. The interests
l) j' Savannah are safe as long as they are in
bis hands. I was glad to observe to-day the
presence of his colleague, Mr. Harrison, who
has jus arrived.
Tlie election for U. S. Senator has not been
determined on yet. The candidates for that
position are too numerous to mention. It
13 certain that all cannot be elected, and it
seems strange that so many should incur the
heavy expense of board at Milledgeville
waning on the members, and that "they
should each seem sanguine of success. It is
unpossible to predict the result.

Closing Jingle.
Boston, Jan. 17.
We are having a very open winter in New
England. Up to this time only about six
iuches of snow has fallen, and the sleighing
has not been good. The lack of snow has
interfered with lumbering operations in
Maine, preparations for which were made on
a large scale. Meanwhile we have had two
“cold snaps” which keep up the credit of the
climate. The second ; Monday in January
was the coldest day in this section for many
years. The range of temperature through
out New England was from ten to thirty
degrees below zero. About the same time
we read in our newspaper accounts of a
sultry spell in Savannah.
The harbor showed the effects of the cold
more than for a number of years previous.
RoysteriDg mariners walked on the ice to their
vessels anchored in the stream—1 suppose
by “anchor ice”—and the boys swarmed
with their skates to the broad fields of ice
which covered the inner harbor, and extend
ed up the rivers Charles and Mystic. Some
twenty years ago there was a succession of
cold days and nights which sealed up the
whole harbor, from the city down to Nar
rows, some five miles, and a continual
skating and sleighing carnival was held.
Booths were erected on the ice, and there
were matches and races which are still re
membered by many, including the “oldest
inhabitant”—who always speaks of that
time when cold weather is on the tapis. This
year the ice only remained a couple of days.
A week later there was another “cold snap,”
hut it was not equal to its predecessor, and
the harbor was not frozen over.
Last Sunday, one of the bleakest days of
the second “cold snap,” a ship-load of immi
grants were brought into this port by the
American barque Fredonia, Capt. Buike, by
which they were taken from the sailing
packet ship Gratitude on the 4th instant. It
appears from the evidence that the Gratitude
could have been brought into Halifax if the
Captain had been allowed to try it, but the
ship was leaking badly, and when the Fre
donia came in sight the passengers and
crew, the former of whom had beet; at work
at the pumps for several days, preferred to
lake a dry ship rather than pump themselves
to the shores of the “land of the free and the
home of the brave.” The passengers and
crew numbered about three hundred souls,
and when they arrived here they were in a
miserable condit'on, lacking clothing,
frost-bitten, and weak from want of
sufficient food. As soon as trie
facts were made known, a large
ball in Haymarket Square, used as a car
riage depository and auction - room by Mr.
Edward Riddle, was prepared for their re
ception by putting up stoves and laying down
mattresses; an appeal was made through the
churches, and contributions came pouriug in
from all sides, of money, clothing, an'djwhat-
ever was needed’ by the unfortunate crea
tures. After being “brought round” by con
stant kind treatment, Sunday and Monday
they were dispatched to their destination in
rather better trim than they would have been
had the Gratitude arrived safely in port. On
Monday the Board of Trade held a large
meeting to do honor to Capt. Burk, of the
FredoDia, who threw over a part of his cargo
—$15,000 worth—to enable him to save the
passengers of the emigrant ship, alter he had
staid by it for three days. Complimentary
resolutions were passed to the gallant cap
tain, and a committee was appointed to col
lect funds and procure a proper testimonial
of the appreciation of his noble services. The
affair has caused quite a healthy sensation in
ttie general dullness of the times and awak
ened a spirit of charity, for which our own
poor will have reason to be thank
ful ; for the Mayor, in thanking the
citizens for their liberal response to his
appeal on behalf of the unfortunate
immigrants, has asked that contributions of
cast off clothing be continued, for distribu
tion through the Police Department to the
needy ones of our city, whose constant ap
peals we are too apt to neglect because we
become accustomed to them.
The Legislature of Massachusetts has been
in session too weeks, but has only just got
into working order. The ornamental busi
ness of which I wrote in my* last letter
such as valedictory addresses and inaugural
addresses, sermons, &c., has taken up
nearly two weeks of the session. But now
the committees have been appointed, aud
all sorts of petitions are daily received.—
More legislative work is done in Massachu
setts than anywhere else in the world, hut it
generally results in laws that are repealed or
amended at the subsequent session.
The Maine Legislature is now in session,
and the subject of first interest before it is an
alleged bounty fraud, by which the State
was diddled out of $350,000. Certain men,
whose bounties amounted to that sum, were
enlisted for the State and afterwards sold to
towns and cities. By the way, it is a curious
fact that the message of Gov. Cony, of
Maine, who was elected as a “War .Demo-
crat.” is a much more radical document than
the farewell address of Gov. Andrew, who
was elected as the radical man of the radi
cals. These are samples of the changes that
have taken place in public opinion in the
North during the last four or five years.
Amusements are well patronized. Tire
Opera ha9 taken possession of the Boston
Theatre—two troupes—the Italian troupe of
Max Maretzek, and Grover's German troupe.
Season tickets have been sold for a large part
of the house. The music maniacs and those
who patronize the opera because it is the
style are in great excitement, of course. The
“season” continues Jaut three weeks, after
which we shall have Booth at the Boston, I
suppose. There is nothing new at the other
places of amusement. Balls, parties, &c.,. are
rather more prevalent this year than common;
As I close, gay sleighers are taking ad
vantage of a light fall, of snow yesterday,
which a freezing night made serviceable, and
I dare say the Brighton Road is more inter
esting this afternoon than this letter. At.
least, it would be to Iota.

By the steamer Eagle at New York we have
Vera Cruz dates to Jan. 7th. It comes to
ua with an Imperial coloring. One writer
says:
“Latest advices from the capital confirm
the intention of the government in relation
to Monterey, Saltillo, and the districts of
Nueva Leou, and Coahulla will be strongly
reinforced. Gen. Icanviengros has been or
dered to return with his forces to Monterey,
where he will be covered with sufficient
troops to maintain his position, as well as lo
act offensively against the enemy, who has
been partially sustained by the Texans, and
from whom they received most important
service and personal aid in the siege of Mata-
moras.
Orders have been issued to concentrate at
Monterey and Saltillo sufficient force lo dis
pose of the chiefs and their murder bands
which still infest that district. Geu. Mejia
will be able to spare a large detachment from
his gallant soldiery which displayed their
quality in the defence of Matamoraa ; and
mere is no doubt that in two or three weeks
the State will be free of these desperate ma
rauders, and the communications withMata-
mora9 and other points of the river will be
again open for industry and commerce. In
the district of Jalapa three persons have been
sentenced to be shot to death lor robbery and
murder by order of a court-martial.
Twelve hundred men have arrived in the
City of Mexico in the past week to r ein-
force the loreign Corps, landed here from
French transport steamships. Three hun
dred Austrian horses have also been receiv
ed here and sent forward for cavalry service.
In Orizaba, on the 2d inst., a severe earth
quake was experienced, doning considerable
damage to large edifices, churches, steeples,
&c., and fatally wounding three women and
two children. In Maltrata half of the houses
of the town were destroyed, but no lives
were lost. Here the shodk was first percep
tible.
Letters trom Toluca of the 29th ult. give
the history of the raid made -by the enemy
from Zitacuaro through that district, without
order or command of any sort apparently,
destroying villages, and robbing men aud
women indiscriminately. All property that
could he taken away was carried off, and all
goods too cumbersome for removal were
binned or broken up, leaving perfect desola
tion upon their path, which years will not
obliterate. When last seen on the 29th in
stant, they were moving from the farm of
Gavia, which they had visited tlie previous
night, iu the direction of Zitacuaro. The
Indians of San Mateo de los Ranchos, be
lieving that they would avoid the evils of the
raid, received them with friendly demonstra
tions and entertainment; but they shared
the 9ame fate ns others, were forced from
their homes to aid in carrying the piunder
of their robbers aud violators.

[From tlie Kingston Standard, Dec. 9.]
Tiic views otthe rebellion taken by certain
journals of the mother country have not sur
prised any one here. It could not be ex
pected that those who have so systematically
labored since emancipation to prove the ne
gro a-“lamb” and the planter a ravenoas
“wolf, determined to devour the former,
right or wrong, would give up their preju
dices so very easily and adopt opposite con
victions, however great the evidence offered
to them oPtlieir first mistake. The negroes
in Jamaica had nothing to complain of. They
; enjoyed all rights and liberties equally with
I the whites or browns. At all events, those
who rebelled against the constituted autbori-
I ty of the land and dipped their hands, un
der circumstances of great atrocity, into the
blood ot' the victims in St. Titomas in the
East, advanced no motive, even at
the foot of the gallows, tor such a diaboli
cal course, except this : “ that they designed
to exterminate the white and colored men in
the colony and possess themselves of the proper
ty of these men." Women and children were
preserved trom death only to be submitted
to a slavery and degradation a thousand
times worse. The women, when deprived
of their protectors, were to subserve the lust
ful pleasures of the disgusting murderers, and
the children were to be disposed of in some
equally horrible manner. These are no mere
fancies. The rebels themselves, executed at‘
different points, far distant from one another,
and without the possibility of communica
tion, adhered consistently in their last mo
ments to the declaration of this plot. Nearly
all spoke of an oath sworn to by them to
accomplish the end, so fearful in its terms
and so well calculated to influence most su
perstitious terror in those who took it that
aii refused to repeat it. The programme
was carried out systematically, and the fact
is the best denial that can be offered to those
who believe that the excesses committed
were only such as ordinarily take place when
a populace of any -kind “break into wild
riot.” In the first place the rebels took no
drink ; they kept their senses clear for what
they were about; they burnt no buildings,
except by accident; they destroyed no ma
chinery, hut simply maimed portions of the
works ol the estates, so that such works
might, as they stated, be easily restored to
efficiency when they became tnemselves the
proprietors of the same after exterminating
the rightful owners. They killed no women
and children, but only men. They abstain
ed from touching the property of any con
nected with the “ Maroons,” for fear
of alienating the support which they expect
ed from that people. Could a mere mob
have actecj with so much reserve and sys
tem ? It is true the rebels fled, and nowhere
attempted lo make head against the regular
troops; but this was owing to a panic having
been produced among them, by the unex
pected arrival of the troops among them and
the terrible retribution which was dealt ont
without a moment’s hesitation upon those
who were taken.
The spirit that has since manifested itself
over the entire island shows clearly that, al
though the troops fought no great battles,
the able dispositions that were made of
them at all events prevented battles being
fought, by encircling the rebels everywhere
and effectually preventing thfe rallying of the
dispersed bands which might have led to re
organization and resistance. It was quite
true what his Excellency the Governor lias
stated in his speech, that any delay or re
verse ou the part of the troops would have
lit the torch of revolt from one end of the
island to the other. Let, therefore, British
negro sympathizers say as they like, and
from a distance, apply to the investigation
of this rebellion the false theories by means
of which they have already wrought so much
iujnry to the negroes tbeihselves and all but
ruined the unfortunate planters ot those col
onies ; the facts stated here are irresistible,
and will, we hope, be.allowcd to stand ont
with all due importance before those whose
province it is to decide on the proper reme
dies to be applied to our present condition
As ihe impression prevails to some extent
that nearly or quite all the distinguished per
sonages wfio were active rebels have been
pardoned, it is stated, by the Washington
Republican, that nearly 1,200 applications
are now upon the President’s table, most of
which have been there for several months.
Seven hundred of them come under the
$20,000 clause. The remainder are classified
as follows: Members of Rebel Congress, 86;
ex-United States Army officers, 132; Rebel
generals, 127; prominent Rebel civil officers,
32; ex-officers of the United States Navy,
116.
