LARSEST CIRCULATIOR III THE CITY ARP BOURTY WEDNESDAY JANUARY 31, 1800. “ THE U. E. SENATORS ELECT. In the selection of Hon. A. H. Stephens and Hon. Herschel V. Johnston,to represen- Georgia in the Senate of the United States, the General Assembly of the State have discharged the high and responsible duty devolved on them in a manner that wili meet the general approbation of the people whom they represent and should be accept able to Congress and the National Adminis tration. In these distinguished citizens Geor gia preseuts two of her ablest and most ex perienced Statesmen whose exalted talents and purity of character could not fail to ex ert a salutary influence in the councils ot the nation, at a time when conservative wisdom and prudent moderation are so much needed 10 calm the angry passions and soothe the bitter animosities by whhich the sections nave been so widely estranged. Both the gentlemen have a record in the Congress of the United States as national men—both resisted secession while there was a hope of preserving the integrity of the Union, both are known to be warmly in favor of reconstruction and reconciliation, and both in a pre-eminent degree possess the confi dence of the people of Georgia. Their ad mission, with our delegation to Congress ■would bo hailed with gladness by our citi zens, while it would revive their hopes for the establishment of mutual trust, confidence and good-will between the sections and for the future peace, prosperity and happiness of our common country. GENERALS SHERIDAN AVDEiRLY The public has been much interested in the late controversy between Gen. Sheridan, of he United States army, and Gen. Early, late of the Confederate States army, touching the relative strength of their respective com mands during the stirring campaigns in the Shenandoah Valley. The widely descrepant and apparently irreconcilable statements of these distinguished officers present an issue of great historical interest aud importance, which should be settled now, whilst the proofs are fresh, and the witnesses are alive. We concur fully iu the opinion expressed by a cotemporary, that to arrive at such a re sult, it is incumbent on those who engage iu what ought now to be an exclusively his torical question, to avoid anything like pas sion and partisanship, and consider the facts iu dispute, with a rigid impartiality and a stern fidelity to historical truth and justice. A communication written by a prominent and intelligent citizen of New Orleans, who was an officer of Gen. Early’s staff, recently appeared in the New Orleans Picayune, pre sents the facts involved in this controversy in a clear and impartial light, and reconciling most happily the conflicting statements. The writer says Gen. Sheridan’s statement of facts is correct. From August 4th, 1864, to March 1st, 1665, he has no doubt that about 13,000 Confederate prisoners were taken in the valley of Virginia. Notwith standing this fact, he says he knows of his own knowledge, that Gen. Early’s statement is also correct when he states that he had about 8,500 muskets in the second engage ment with Gen. Sherman. That be knows rom the official reports that he himself made and from actual observation at reviews, drills, inspectious iu camp aud on the march, the effective strength of every brigade aud division of infantry under Gen. Early’s com mand. Of the cavalry and artillery he could not speak so autbentatively. He says the prisoners (13,000) captured by Gen. Sherman were taken from the department over which Gen. Early was supposed to have the nomi nal command. Iu these arts to be included, of course, all the straggling cavalry that in fested the valley of Virginia, a greater ter ror to their friends than their foes ; the guer rillas made up of deserters and skulkers from the army of Northern Virginia, the forag ing details sent out to supply that army with forage, teamsters, laborers, detailed men of the quartermaster and commissary depart ments, all of whom were legitimate prison ers, as they were enlisted men, the hangers on of the medical department, ptivttes ab sent on furlough, captured iu their homes, and the disabled men that followed the army (adding nothing to its effective strength) rather than remain in the hospitals to which they had been ordered. All these made an aggregate of prisoners captured by Gen. Sheridan, corresponding with the number stated by Gen. Sheridan. He concludes hia letter with the remarks that Geu. Sheridan and Gen. Early are both capable and brave officers and honorable men, and that neither would make a state ment which he did not believe. We take great pleasure iu giviDg addition al publicity to these interesting facts of the campaigns referred to, because they make consistant and harmonious statements which appeared irreconcilable, aud will supply the most valuable of all materials for the future historian. IN GENERAL. —In the Washington City Criminal Court, on Wednesday, the case of Mrs. Cobb, the pardon brokeress, against L. C- Baker, late chief Government Detective, came up for trial on a charge of false arrest and imprison ment. In her evidence Mrs. Cobb narrated the manner of her arrest, stating that Baker took two hundred dollars from her under threat of handcuffing her if she refused. She acknowledged to having obtained three par dons for Southern meD, and that these two. hundred dollars forcibly taken from her by Baker paid for one of them. The defence at tempted to break down her reputation for chastity and veracity. The trial will last for several days. —It is stated that $100,000 of the new is sues of fractional currency, which are in tended to supercede the old issues of small circulating notes, will be issued daily during the coming week. —The Russian Government have given notice to the Western Union Telegraph Com pany that a steam corvette of their Pacific squadron will -be placed at their disposal, and BY TELEGRAPH TO TUB Daily H © raid. [Special despatch to the Savannah IIekald.J Hon. A. H. Stephens in replying to a let ter addressed to him to-day by a committee of the Legislature, asking if he would serve as Senator if elected, says—“I cannot imagine any possible case in which I would refuse to aervs to the best of my ability the people of Georgia, in any position to which they might assign me, whether so assigned with or without my consent. Hon. Joshua Hill will speak to-night. ELECTION OF ALEX. H. STEPHENS TO THE SENATORSHIP. Herschel V. Johnson also Elected. Milledgeville, Jan. 30.—Hon. Alexander H.

Wabhisgton, Jan. 30.—The report of the United States Revenue Commission on cot ton recommends that a tax of five cents per pound be levied on all cotton raised in the United States after January 1st, 1866; that a tax on cotton consumed in this couutry be levied on the manufacturers, and upon that exported upon the merchant at the place of export, and that no vessel be allowed to clear without a certificate that the tax has been paid. The Commission also recommends that so long as there shall be a tax upon American raw cotton, there shall be specific duties on all imported cotton fabrics of aq many cents per pound as levied on raw cotton. A bill embodying the above and other re commendations is appended to the report. PROCEEDINGS OP CONGRESS. Washington, Jan. 30.—The House to-day recommitted the Constitutional Amendment in relation to representation without restric tion to the Committee on Reconstruction, and afterwards went into the consideration of the Senate bill to enlarge the powers of the Freedmen’s Bureau. A resolution extending the courtesy of seats on the floor of the House to the mem bers elect from Arkansas, was rejected. The Senate was engaged in the discussion of the bill giving protection to persons in their civil rights. Mr. Trumbull withdrew the amendment offered yesterday relative to declaring all persons of African descent born in the United States citizens, and substituted a clause that persons born under any foreign power are declared citizens without distiuc- tion of race or color, &c. THE SITUATION ON THE RIO GRANDE. The Imperialist Officials Greatly Ex cited. requested instructions in regard to her desti nation. Col. Bulkley, chief of the expedi tion, orders her to leport at Petropauloosky, Kamtschatka, in May next. — The war preparations to guard against Fenisa raids or for some other purpose are still being prosecuted in Canada. Working parties of Royal Artillery are engaged in conveying heavy Armstrong guns from Low er Town, Quebec, to the various works in the Upper Town, and the Customs Commis sioners have forbidden importations of arms pm this country. Washington, Jan. 30.—The official corres pondence between Gens. Weitzel and Mejia is published.

Washington, Jan. 29.—The arrangements or taking the testimony against Captain Rupbal Semmes is nearly completed, and it fis expected that the trial will be commenced towards the close of the .present week. The naval commission however has not yet been appointed. HON. A. H. STEPHENS AND THE SENA TORSHIP. New York Cotton Market. New York, Jan. 29—Cotton is firm with sales to-day 800 bales at 48 cts. Gold is quoted at 40. New York, Jan. 30.—Cotton advanced to day oue cent per pound, with the sales of 2,300 bales at 49 cents. Gold is quoted at 40 1-2, A New Paper in So dtiiwestern Georgia. The first issue of a new paper entitled, “The Quitman Banner" . published at Quitman, Georgia, has reached us. It is strikingly ueat in external appearance, and bears evi dence of able and faithful editorial labor. Con taining a well prepared digest of the news of tiie day and a godly store of attractive read ing matter, thoroughly devoted to the inter ests of its section and conducted by exper ienced hands, it cannot fail to become a widely popular and influential journal, while the great inducements it offers to advertisers in that locality will insure remuneration to its public-spirited projectors. people Bishop Elliott.—We see it stated in tbe Nashville Union and American that a Phila delphia paper indulges tbe luxury of a sneer at Bishop Elliott, of Georgia, for signifying to Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, his readi ness to reunite at once with the Episcopal Church North; and that Bishop Wilmer, of Alabama, also comes in for a due share of like courteous remarks. This sort of thing, says the Union, is so characteristic that might pass, but from a lamentation in the same paper, that somehow or other New York is getting pretty much all. tbe South ern trade, while Philadelphia is getting little or none. Not many weeks since Bishop Elliott was severely criticised by the same journal lor alleged antipathy to the proposition to re unite the two branches of the Church; and now that he has generously acceded thereto, it continues its aspersions by insinuating that be has been constrained to “surrender' by the force of popular sentiment in his dio cese. As the Union and American says, consid ering the eminently generous and magnani raous spirit with which the “surrender” of such men as Bishop Elliott is met by our colemporary, it certainly is rattier strange, why, iu renewing their trade, Georgia people should pass by Philadelphia and go.to New York to buy! The editor of the conplaiuing journal cer- taiuly has the right in this free country to minister gratification to sectional prejudice by a licentious use of his pen; bat selfish motives, if no other, should admonish him to refrain from this, wantonly wounding the feelings of the friends of men so universally respected as Bishop Elliott. Personal.—Bvt. Brig. Gen. Burns return ed to Hilton Head via Savannah last week, having been north on furlough. He resumes his position os Chief Commissary of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, with Head quarters tor tbe present at Hilton Head. Major Langdon, the popular and efficient Acting Chief Commissary during Gen. Burns’ absence, remains at Headquarters. Government Workshops closing Up.—The number of employees in tbe Quartermasters Department at Hilton Head, has again been reduced. There is now scarcelyenough employed to do tbe necessary labor of the Post. The U. S. Quartermaster’s machine shop at St. Helena, S. C., will be entirely closed on the 1st February. Ail the work to Quar termaster’s boats in the Department of South Carolina, will hereafter be doue at Charles ton. —The freezing over of the St. Lawrence river has put the Treasury Department upon its mettle to prevent smuggling, and au ad ditional force of officers and detectives has been despatched to the scene of operations.
