THE PRESSURE IN THE MONEY MARKET. New York, Jan. 25.—The following is ad ditional to the foreign news by the Hiber nian. The late gales have been very disastrous to the shipping. The Resolute, from Mobile for Liverpool, put iuto Jelay. She was found to be leaky and had lost her mizzenmast. The Times aud other journals having at tributed the pressure in the money market to too heavy exports to America on credit, the commercial men publish letters refuting the argument and showing that remittances from America have been most prompt. Tiie heavy receipts of cotton are set off against the British exports. The Mountaineer, from Mobile August 27, has not been heard of since that date. BE08G1A LEGISLATURE.

Amended so vir>; ' nclu n e the resum Ption of the mail ser vice over all routes m Georgia. Adopted. The following is Mr. Russell's resolution as passed potb houses of the Legislature- Whereas, certain Citizens of the State, ow ners of real estate on the Wilmington, Whitmarsh and the Skiddiway Islands were driven by the fortunes of war from their homes in 1861, and their property seized by the military and appropriated to the use of freedmen by the Freedman's Bureau; and though peace reigns supreme throughout the State, aud all of said citizens have renewed their allegiance to the Government of the United States, yet, deprived of the posses sion and enjoyment of their property, they are forced to remain exiles from their homes. Be it therefore Resolved, By the General Assembly of the State of Georgia that his Excellency the Gov ernor be and lie is hereby earnestly requesl- ted to communicate with his Excellency the President and inform him of the distressed condition of these, our suffering citizens, and request a restoration of their property on said Islands, as well as all other property of other citizens of this Stale, which still is in the possession or under the control of the Freedman’s Bureau. We heartily adopt as our own, remarks the Charleston News, (and we ditto], the sug gestions of that manly and truly conserva tive paper, the Boston Post, that, “upon the press of both the Northern aud Southern sec tions of the Union is laid a solemn duty at this particular juncture. Forbearance now becomes one of the leading virtues. If the journals of each section, inspired with a gen uine desire of' Union, were to make rule and religiously observe it, to refuse the repuhlicatiou of whatever lay open to the imputation of passion, pnrtizanship, preju dice, and general ill feeling towaids each other, the new rule would so soon and so abundantly vindicate itself by its desirable results as to excite surprise that it was not adopted before. It is almost as easy to heal the old wounds of friendship as to stir up strife and contention. We have become fully satisfied of the power of vituperation and calumny, knowing that, if long persisted in it is able to convulse a nation ot men styling themselves brethren. The opposite experiment would now be a grateful one to all rational beings, to which satisfied honor, not less than true humanity, urgently invites us. “ Even if the Congressional ravings are kept up, it is in the power of an enlightened press to neutralize ttieir effect on both sidts. There must he a manifestation of real kind ness at some time if the Union is to be prac tically renewed ; and it will be necessary for it to begin in influential quarters. The press has a providential opportunity now to show its real power- As it will hardly deny that by its agency a large share of the country's troubles was precipitated upon us, so it ought to stand ready, with tiie first break of the heavy clouds to employ its full power for the re-establishment of those relations which have suffered from a temporary dis ruption. In this iusiauoe the press is per mitted to show its great influence even nega tively ; its positive power upon the nation is a large part of each day’s history.” The New York Chamber of Commerce has decided against co-operating in a movement to call together a National Convention to de vise measures to increase the production of cotton in the United States, on the ground that its cultivation is manifestly so important and profitable that “the promptings of per sonal interest will secure the desired results,” and that “this motive is already attracting the capital requisite to produce a large cot ton crop for the ensuing year.” This con clusion appears to have-hern reached after a careful investigation of the subjeet, and it serves to confirm other evidences of the suc cess of the free labor system in the South. Thad- Stevens’ sudden anxiety to repeal so much of the Congressional test oath as pro hibited Southern attorneys from practising in the South, created much surprise at the time, aud has led to much discussidh since among those not fully in the secret. It seems that a small caucus of the faithful met at Mr. Chase’s on Saturday evening, where the whole subject was informally discussed. Judge Chase is understood to have said that the law was clearly against the oath; that the question now before the Supreme Court involved the whole principle and must soon be decided, and recommended the course pursued by Stevens on the following Monday as the best method for relieving him from the necessity of making a disagreeable decision, and the partf from possessing a most un wieldy elephant. The Soicidb of Admiral Pabeja.—This singular event is thus related ; Admiral Pareja, commanding the Spanish squadron off the coast of Chili, committed suicide on December 3, 1865. He had sent a vessel, the Covadonga, with despatches to the Isthmus. She was captured by the Chil ians. November 26 ; Pareja was informed of it on the 28tb. On the 2‘Jth, after brooding some 30 hours over the disgrace, the report of a pistol was beard in the cabin, and upon entering, he was found dead, shot by his own hand, through the right temple. On his table a paper was found, written in a firm hand, directing that his body should be sunk out of the Chilian waters Masonic Flag from the North Pole,— The famous Arctic explorer, Dr. Hays, has returned to the Kane Lodge of New York, with the Masonic flag which the lodge had entrusted to him five years ago to carry to the North Pole, if possible.” The doctor staled that the flag had been piatfted farther North than any other except the flag of our country, and that it had floated within five hundred miles of the Pole. It is to be regretted that the gallant Doc tor could not have hoisted it on the pole it self. That would have been cool. ^Letter iron Mrs. D«rti. A most noble enterprise has been inaugu rated in New Orleans, having for its object the relief of the family of Hon. Jefferson Da vis. We understand that Mrs. Dr. Nott,- of Mobile, will likely be the bead of an organi zation for Alabama, and that co-workers in the good cause will be appointed in all the counties of the State. The family of Jeffer son Davis should never sufllr as long as there is a dollar in the South. We find in the New Orleans True Delta the following tender and womanly letter from Mrs. Davis. —The Daily Sun and Times. Mill View, Ga., Dec. 4, 1865. T. B. Clark, Bsq., Secretaryfynd Agent Ladies' Southern Aid Association - My Dear Sib:—I am in receipt of your very kind letter in the name “of the Ladies’ Southern Aid Association,” having "for its object the purpose of placing” me “and fam ily in circumstances somewhat commensu rate with their estimate of ” me and mine, and begging that I will, at my earliest con venience, designate a place to which the means so collected may be conveyed so that they may “safely and satisfactorily” reach me- - From our desolated and impoverished friends I scarcely expected such an expres sion of material sympathy, though my pow ers of gratitude have been almost daily tax ed, to tbauk those who have, with so much heart eloquence, plead with the President for him who, though unsuccessful, has given you, all he could—his best energies—and whose only hope of future happiness lies in the sweet trust, often expressed, that he haa not lost your confidence and love. Ignorant of all his own people have done for him in his painful captivity, his devotion is una bated. “The unfortunate have always been deserted and betrayed, but did ever man have less to complain of when he bad lost the power to serve ? The multitude are si lent ; why should they speak save to Him who hears best the words most secretly ut tered ? My own heart tells me that sympa thy exists—that the prayers lrom the family hearth are not hushed. Be loving and con fiding still to those from whom I have re ceived much more than I deserve, far more official honors than I ever desired. Those for whose cause I suffer are not unworthy of the devotion of all which I had to give.”— This is the message of love which is sent through prison gates to our own people, be cause both of us have been brought up with you, one of us was born iu Mississippi, the other came to her in infancy.— These are my own people, and it is a privilege of which no change of circumstance can deprive me. To the accepted prayers of our widows and orphans, our suffering and heroic women, our brave and true men, our innocent little children ; I look for the resto ration to.my little children of their agonized hut Christian father. If a merciful Provi dence so ordaiu it, we hope to live and die among you, mutually consoling and bearing each other’s burdens. I pray God we may not be driven forth from the home of our childhood, for how can we siug our own song in a strange land 7” We would not have our dear iriends betrayed by their sympathy iuto offering for our use too much from their on n “uasket and store.” I aud mine have, so fur, been miraculously cared for and shielded from want. We seem ever environed by the love which is reflected upon us trem that which lighted my husband iu his dungeon— softened bis prisoned walls with sunny pic tures of loving eyes and outstretched arms. Grief and gratitude seem to impose upon me silence. I would, but cannot say more. I will inclose within this note the names aud directions of gentlemen to whom the countri- hutions of which you speak may be enclosed. Aud instead ot the eloquent voice which so often has poured fourth bisjoyc to his dear people, I offer a wife’s and mother’s, and a country woman’s gratitude to you and those you represent. I have the honor to he, very gratefully and sincerely yours, Virginia Davis. C.V. HUTCHINS, CRAIN AND COMMISSION AT E KC HANT, 135 Bay Street, Savannah.

[COMMUNICATED-] Pleasure Excursion on the O. F. Potter. On the evening of the 29 ih inst., Captain Cessar, Mr. R. M. Demer purser, and the other officers ot the O. F. Potter, which is now plying from Savannah to Sunberry, com plimented the ladies of Dorchester and Sun- berry by giving them a pleasure trip down the river. Everything was propitious for the occasion. The little vessel dashed gallantly o'er the blue waves, freighted with happy hearts and bright faces. , None could resist the all-per vading beauty—for Nature smiled her sweetest From a quiet little nook, nnper- ppived. though not unfelt, stole the blind god, with bended bow and darts invincible. .■won bashful couples were seen sauntering from the crowd, low words were murmured, overheard only by the noiseless breeze or foaming wave. Music too, lent its charm to this enchanted scene. Ob, the happy, careless visions of youth ! We were very favorably impressed with the swiftness and Deatnesa of the boat, also the quiet and orderly behavior ot the crew. As regards politeness, hospitality and an ac commodating spirit, the officers of the O. F. Potter bear the palm from all other vessels with which we have been associated. Everything that could contribute to our enjoyment was most courteously tendered by them, and we trust that they were not only contributors but partiepators in the pleasure which they bestowed.

It requires considerable ingenuity to dress the hair in this foshlon ; a “puff,” three-quarters of a yard long is used, round which the hair is twisted cable tashioD, and then rolled up like a huge tail.
