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.

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.

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. Later ttewi via Havana—Arrlral of Far ther French Iteinforcemerits. 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.

The Reality of thcNegro Plot Affirmed— Colonial Defence of the Government. [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.
