Our informant further says, that it is thought that if Builock carries his point and gets Con gress to give him control of Georgia, by making him provisional Governor, that he will make some of his lately appointed officers "walk the plank” -that some of tho PenitenLiury officers, who declined to buck him up when called on to xhibitod I sign a certain k memorial to Co gross to recon- ,» „f.

Mr. Stephens still retains all his former ser vants, both on tho lot in town, aud on the old homestead, none of whom show any disposition to leave him. Harry Stephens, who bore his master’s name long before emancipation, and filled his present place while Mr. Stephens was in Congress, is still the Major Domo at Liberty Hall. He is steward, butler ami female mana ger of the premises. His wife und children, some of whom are nearly grown, constitute the other domestics of tho establishment. At the plantation, about two miles distant, ull his former servants still remain, and cultivate the land in parcels, as tenants. In Mr. Stephen’s own words, "they pay one-fourth of the pro ducts as rent. They work us well and us faith fully as ever, but I do not think that, upon an average, tho product of their Libor is about one- fourth of what it formerly was, which 1 attribute to the want of proper skill in agricultural, and the general management of a farm.” To me our conversation was truly agreeable, and before I sat many minutes with this great, and, in fact, wonderful man, I felt that 1 had met with one out of the sphere of our daily associations a man who commands respect by simplicity and true greatness, rather than by overpowering pomposity and dogmatism. Mr. Stephens is not, I regret to say, in the enjoyment of even his usual bad health, lie 1ms lately had a severe attack, and this has caused him to siis-‘ pend his labors upon the second volume of liis "History of the war," but it is hoped that his illness is not of a serious nature, aud that he will soon be able to resume hiR work. Upon taking my leave, Mr. Stephens thanked me for my visit, and insisted on my making Liberty Hall (the name of his residence» my home while I remained in town. In good truth he has not misnamed his home, for no person can remain in it without being convinced that tho utmost "liberty” reigns there. J MAGUIRE.

Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, Chairman of the Committee on Elections, called up the Geor gia contested election case from the Sixth Con gressional district of Georgia. The resolutions reported from the Committee on Elections, set ting forth that. J. H. Christy is not entitled to represent tho Sixth Congressional district of Georgia on account of disloyalty, and that John A. Wimpy is not entitled to a seat from the same district on account of not having received a ma jority of votes, were theu read. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, moved that the gentlemen claiming the seatR be allowed to ad dress the House under the rules of the House.— Agreed to. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, asked if it would not be well, in view of the resolution adopted this morning relative to Georgia’s represeuta- tutives here, to postpone the whole matter for the present, or else to refer it to the Committee on Reconstruction. He was ready to offer a res olution for that purpose. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he would yield the floor for that purpose, in order to get an expression of opinion from tho House on the subject. Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts, said he was ready to argue the proposition that Mr. Wimpy was entitled to his seat. As for Mr. Christy, he did not believe he represented anybody or any thing. He was satisfied, and he knew Mr. Wim py would be satisfied, to have the matter go to the Reconstruction Committee. Mr. Brooks, of New York, said Mr. Wimpy was everywhere and pretended to represent everybody. Mr. Mullen, of Tennessee, said Georgia was standing with one foot on the grave of rebellion and the other on the rock of loyalty. He pro posed to keep her there till sho gave evidence of better repentance. Mr. Paine, of Wisconsin, said with tho leave of the Chairman of the Committeo on Elections ho would move to postpone the consideration of this subject until the third Tuesday iu February after the morning hour. Mr. Dawes, of Massachusetts, said he would accept of that motion for the purpose of testing the sonse of tho House. Mr. flhellabargor, of Ohio, favored tho post ponement He thought under tho present con dition of affairs it was proper for the House to pursue this course. Tho motion to postpone \^as agreed to. Fire at the Asylum.—Tho Milledgeville Fed eral Union says that on Thursday, 28th ultimo, the building for tho colored insane was set on fire by one of tho inmates—a colored female.— She found her way to tho attic and kindled a fire aud the roof wus soon in a blaze.

Tho receipts from customs aud internal revenue thus far amount to about $17,- 000,UOU; the receipts expected from the same and from miscellaneous sources for the remain der of the month are estimated at nearly $12,- 000,0JO, making the total receipts amount to about $29,000,000.
