We notice that many cities and towns sit uated on the Atlantic sea board, admonished by the near approach of warm weathef, are adopting measures to avoid the cholera.— Strict quarantine is to be enforced, and all the streets, lanes, alleys, &c., are to be thor oughly cleansed, and the ordinances rigidly enforced against every citizen who neglects 10 keep his premises in a clean condition.— In some places it is proposed to appoint phy sicians to visit every house, to inspect the premises of each citizen, to raise a fund to defray the expenses, and to adopt every pre caution against the appearance ol the epi demic, aud to preserve the public health. It would almost seem as if we had a Prov- FROJH WASHINGTON. WaSHlNOTOir, Feb. 12.—No business wu transacted in either House of Congress today.

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. LETTER FROM THE CAPITOL. [From our Special Milledgeville Correspondent.] MiixxnaEVHXK, Feb. 8, 1868, The Legislature thus far has determined the ques. tion that the Penitentiary system of punishment in the State is to be continued; but whether there are to be one or more prisons, or where located, has not yet been decided. The Freedmen’s Code will not be passed as a whole; but valuable suggestions have been derived from the la oors of the Commission appointed by the Convention to prepare that code; and in one form or another every suggestion of value bearing on the rights of freedmen will be embodied in proper acts. It is thought to bo of doubtful propriety to have a separate code for the coL ored people; for. notwithstanding it might and would certainly be a humane provision for the blacks, still if it were adopted under the title at first proposed, i* would scarcely escape the imputation of being a code Legislature to deal justly and even magnanimously by the colored population, in the laws which they may enact. It is a great pity that the people of Georgia do not receive credit for what they have already done in that regard. I notice in a Macon paper that in that city there are at prosent 4,000 colored children receiv ing the benefits of an education. I do not believe there are half the number of white children receiving the same benefit. The stay law comes up for discussion in the Senate to-day. Suck a law it is thought will be regarded by his Excellency as unconstitutional, and unless careful ly worded would receive the executive veto. Great care has been taken in the framing of the bill to havo it free from constitutional objects, and it is thought in some shape it will pass the Legislature and become a identi.'ll warning of danger, and providential Of black laws. There is every disposition I am sure, .1 v. aruiDg s ’ , on the part of the great body of the members of tho opportunity io eecape it, in the recent ap preach of cholera to our doors and the inter vening of winter before the season in which it is likely to become epidemic. We have had the wiuter months in which to prepare tor warding off its advent in the spring. The experience during previous visitations and during the past summer in many of the chief cities of Europe, show how much cau be done by human agencies in keeping back or modifying its ravages; and by the same means we have learned bow it i* in man 8 power to create the conditions under which cholera flourishes with the most deadly lux* unance When people are huddled together . „ „ . _ in filthv tenements and amid poisonous va pors, where moral and physical uncleanliness abound—where are filthy streets and cess pools, and bad drainage—there are the favor ite haunt9 of cholera. This is a well estab lished fact, and should convince the people of Savannah of the necessity of remedying immediately these fatal and threatening evils. There will be an opportunity, between this and tho middle of March, for their demand ing and securing such action as will effec-iual- ly remove them. It is a matter in which they will do well to be wise, in the adoption of the meat thorough sanitary measures. Whatever differences of opinion may exist in regard to the cause and mode of propaga tion of the cholera, all now agree in their observations that its greatest ravages and most fearful mortality is among the filthy, the vicious and the destitute, and in fact it is aimost confined to the imprudent, the intem perate and those who injure themselves by taking improper medicines. Cleanliness, there fore, is of the first importance—both of person and houses—particularly yards, sinks, Ac. Sources of filth and impurity may exist without the knoweledge of the public au- tln.riiies, and every citizen should feel the necessity of keeping a watchful supervision over his own premises, and when individual efforts are inadequate for their removal, they should call upon the authorities for assist ance. It is fair to presume that commis sioners of health will be appointed, who will do all in their power for the purification of the city and the protection of the people; but it must be evident to ail that they will not be able to do everything, aud therefore it will be the duty of their fellow-citizens to co-operate with them in every possible way in their power to avert the impending calamity. The epidemic will probably linger on in westerh Europe through the winter and re new its ravages upon the return of warm weather. This last is undoubtedly the most destructive visitation of that dread disease known to modern times; for wherever it has fairly established itself it has killed thousands where it formerly killed hundreds. All the cities of America must expect in time to experience the horrors which Constantinople and other European cities have gone through unless indeed we take advantage of the grace given to clean our cities and set our houses in order. “Call for Congressional Interference.—Some of tlie Southern loyalists now in tills city are calling upon Congress for the establishment or provisional government in the rebel Slates, setting forth that they cannot endure the present treatment which the.,- receive, and furthermore that every loyal man in the South will be forced to go North except tills proteetlou he given to them.” , We give the above from the New York Tribune as a specimen of the paragraphs which are published in Republican journals for the purpose of exciting the prejudices and inflaming the passions of the Northern people against the South. It is needless to say that these statements of anonymous cor respondents are without foundation in iact. No ‘ Southern loyalist" who has any regard for truth will have the hardihood tc endorse the above. That some unworthy characters who delight in wantonly outraging the.sen- sibilities oi our people receive tbe contempt they deserve, we will not deny, but they have no right to claim martyrdom for loyal ty. There are Northern and Southern loy- alists.iu our midst, who will bear us out in tbe assertion. Executive Veto. Executive Dep-rtiient, j Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 188C.} To thfi Senate:—I have before me for consideration a resolution, originating in your body, “for making valid contidA-ts between white men and freedmen.*' Doubtless the General Assembly, in adopting it, de signed to benefit both parties equally, and to supply law foi the interval between the reorganization of the buite Government and tin* passage of general statutes \jh the same subject now progressing. But, after care- consideration, my belief is that such legislation, if UfA^o-utively wrong, is oi doubtful propriety and en- tin.\ unnecessary. fhtN aeadutioE ig not exclusively prospective in its operauv ; it declares that all contracts made, or to bo mad<*, bKk-een the white man and the freedman, shall b<. b»'d gOk, ; and binding on both parties, &c.

I hope that their addresses will be like the pouring of oil on tha troubled sea. That they both are true and loyal men, none who know them cau doubt; and that their counsels will be wise and salutary, and that they will be heeded is greatly to be desired. A multitude of subjects are yet to come up for final action before the Legislature. The House have al ready bad introduced over 400 bill*, about 120 of which ha, e been acted upon, and new matter comes in like a flood every day the counties are called. The Senate has originated less new matter, and keeps all its busi ness ahead. A great number of the bills proposed must necessarily be lost, or remain undisposed of when tbe time for adjournment arrives. When that hour is to come cannot now bs told; but 1 am under the im pression that the eve is not very far distant. The mem bers are restless, many of then) seam sorry that they run as candidates, and quite a number hare leave of absence. They are distributed among at best twenty different boarding houses—leaving the Messrs. Mc Combs who keep the Milledgeville, and keep it as well as any hotel in the State is kept, with hardly fifty boarders. Mr. Strozier from Albany, has introduced into the Senate a bill to divide the State into twenty judicial districts, and to require four terms of the Superior Court to be held in each county of the State every year. The object of that is to obviate the necessity of a County Court ” as recommended in the “Freedmen’s Code.” Such courts would be vested with full and summary relief to all laborers, white or black, who sued for the recovery of wages, and to all persons who had suffered any tort or wrong at the hands of another. They would place the black and white population on precisely tbe same footing in the Conrts, or as nearly so as possible. Chatham. Aetlon of tbe New England Democratic State Conventions, Connecticut.—The Connecticut Democratic State Convention was held in Hartford on Wednesday last, full delegations from all the counties being present, and the general attendance of citizens being large.— James E. English and Ephraim H. Hyde wore nomi nated for Governor and Lieutenant Governor by ac clamation, and resolutions were adopted strongly en' dorsing President Johnson's reconstruction policy, opposing negro suffrage, denouncing the course of the republicans in Congress, and declaring that the lately , rebellious States should immediately be accorded oil the privileges enjoyed by the other States. Speeches in advocacy of these sentiments were made by differ ent gentlemen. New Hampshire The Democratic State Convention of New Hampshire assembled in Concord on the same day and nominated John G. Sinclair aa candidate for Governor. The platform adopted approves President Johnson's course, urges the immediate admission to Congress of the Southern representatives, and opposes ail further constitutional amendments.
