Lecture of (ieo. D. Prentice.
We attended, on Monday night, at Temperance
Hall, the lecture of the above gentleman, upon
the condition and aspects of American politic?. —
While we were well entertained, wc confess to
considerable disappointment. ‘His appearance,
which, perhaps, should not be considered, was far
below our aapectations; his voice wanting entire
ly of molody, while his manner was graceless and
unimpressive. He has none of the attractions be
longing to a popular lecturer, tave the ehiefest—
thought and languago His discourse was great
ly elaborated, well written and interspersed with
brilliant thoughts, occasionally pointed with an
tithesis and keen sarcasm. The picture of the
demagogue he painted with life-like faithfulness,
but his designation of those whom the painting
epresented was far from accurate. Whoever was
Against the Union, without limitation ns to cauce,
was a selfish, huckstering politician. Indeed,
thero was a strong nnder-current of Union-at-all
bazards-isin throughout the lecture, which made
it very objectionable to our taste. But we were
well prepared for this revelation by some knowl
edge of the political antecedents of Mr. Prentice.
He has been for many years the editor of the
Louisville Journal —a paper which has been as
ranch distinguished by its uncompromising advo
cacy of all compromises by which the South has
been cheated of her rights and honor, as by the
ability of its editor. If he had substituted “Con
stitution” for ‘-Union” in many parts of his ad
dress, his sentiments would have accorded better
with the feelings and convictions of his audience.
This blind and unreasoning devotion to the l'n
ion on the part of the South is the originating
cause of all the disaffection and alienation that
exist. The proposition is pnradoxicol but true.
If the Southern people had early and jealously
guarded their rights—had resisted the first at
tempt by the general government to infract
them, and had uniuiformly shown a determina
tion to abide no abatement of that equality guar
anteed them by the spirit of the Constitution and
implied in the very fact of sovereignty, the occa
sion would never have been presented in which a
Southern man could have felt the necessity of in
voking the sentiment of lovo for the Union. Nor
do we admit that the necessity now exists.
In every battle in which the cry of disunion
has been raised, the most ultra men of the South
havo never contended for more than their consti
tutional rights. Tho proper place for uttering
such sentiments is in a higher latitude—among a
people who regard the Union so lightly that they
put its existence at hazard for the sake of indulging
tho impulses of a morbid, pseudo-philanthropy.
The South has over had an affection for the Un
ion. She has loved it “not wisely, but too well,”
as her patient submission to aggression and out
rage sufficiently attests. When the spirit of her
people, chafed and fretted beyond endurance un
der the accumulation of wrong, shall give audible
and heartfelt utterance to the purpose of disso
lution, no fancied opprobrium attached to the
namos of disuniomsts and disorganizes will deter i
them from the deed. They will not forget that
the American revolution vindicated the cause of
the “rebel” and gave nobility to his title.
Legislation not Perfected, or Vetoed
Tho adjournment ot'tho late session of our Leg- |
islaturo appears to have been a real stampede—
something “turned up” to frighten the wise law- |
makers, aurl they abandoned their ‘acts’ and ‘reso- I
lutions’ as precipitately as a drover’s heard of urns- !
tangs floe from tho camp when a gang of half-devil 1
Camauohes raise the war-whoop and rush pell- j
mell upou them “in the stilly night.” Some bills
that had passed both bouses, it is said, were lost ;
because tho two branches, did not continue long
enough in session for the presiding officers to |
sign them ; many others could not be eurolled in
time by the clerks ; and others that were enrolled
and signed were found to have been so imper
fectly enrolled as to render them unlit to receive (
the Governor’s signature.
The above ix from the Enquirer, and is, so far :
as our knowledge extends, true. It has always \
been considered a buncombe idea to adjourn early j
and legislators seldom havo the firmness to pro- :
tract a session beyond the time appointed. The j
eonsequeuce is frequently tho business of the
session is not half transacted.
At the last session of the Legislature, it was ap
parent before the adjournment, that the bills could
not be read on the table of tho clerks, yet every
motion to prolong the session for two or three
days, was opposed with obstinacy. Mr. Slaughter
of Dougherty, made sevoral ineffectual efforts in
tho Senate, to pass a resolution reconsidering tho
one previously passed, adjourning the General
Assembly on the Ilth inst. Tho lato lamented
Tucker also raised his voice in behalf of his con
stituency, that the adjournment should not take
place on the day appointed—but all without ef
fect. We trust that the Enquirer will publish the
ayes and nays in the Senate on the motion to pro
long the session, that the people may know that
a majority of the American party are implicated
with the buncombe democrats in bringing on the
“stampede,” of which it complains. Let the con- i
fusion—the hasty legislation—tho blame—lie at !
the door of those who obstinately refused to pro- j
long the session. We do not fear the record.
Xaval Depot
We commend to tho perusal of our Congress
men, an article in another eolumn, from tho Ma- ■
con State Press in relation to the Naval Depot at !
Brunswick. The people of Georgia feel great in- :
terest in the completion of a Naval Depot on their j
sea coast.

Legislature—Public Acts.
We commenced publishing yesterday some of
the Acts of a public character passed by the last
legislature. We find in the Georgia Telegraph
the caption and substance of the gereral laws,
which we are permitted to publish.
A law has been enacted extending thv writ cf
Certiorari to all possessory warrants. Thhv is an
excellent addition to our Statutes.
Tho act in relation to taking cases to the Su
preme Court, is a good one. It provides that in
any case where the Judge, before whom it was
tried, shall, by reason of absence from the State,
death or sickness, or other Providential cause, be
prevented from signing aud certifying a bill of
exceptions, the affidavit of the Attorney [for the
Plaintiff in error, and other crodible persons, with
in three months from the trial of such case, to the
truth of the bill of exceptions, or the agreement of
the parties thereto, shall boa sufficient authenti
cation of the bill of exceptions, and it shall be the
duty of any Judgo of the Superior Court, on being
presented with the same, to order the caso sent
to the Supremo Court.
An act to make tax receivers, assessors ofprop
erty, in cases where they believe it has been re
turned below its value, and providing in cases
whore tho party so assessed shall bo dissatisfied
with the assessment, for the selection of three dis
interested persons to determine tho valuo of the
property, is a wise and much needed amendment
to our Tax law.
In the Tax act wo notice the following explan
atory clause: —“And whereas doubts exist among
some Tax payers as to what property they arc to
give in aud pay taxes for, under the present ad
valorem system,” the seven section provides
“That it is true intent and meaning of the present
law, that bonds, notes, or other obligations for
money, on persons in other States, or bonds of
the United States, or of other States, or bonds of
corporations of other States, and shipping at sea,
besides the other items mentioned, except lands
and negroes, out of this State, shail be returned
for taxation.
And to insure a ruoro full returu, tho tax oath
is changed to conform to tho above provision.
All Insurance companies out of the State doing
business in it, are taxed one per cent upon premi
ums received.
Tax act of 1850, in relation to foreign Bank
capital, is revived.
An act providing that from and after first of
January, 1860, all laws authorizing Lotteries in
| Georgia, or the vending of Lottery tickets in said
State, are repealed—was passed.
An act providing that tho liability of Stock
| holders in Banking and other chartered Institu
j tions shall not cease on the expiration of the char
, ter, but shall continue until the whole business of
the company is fully settled up, was also passed.
An act providing “That voluntary manslaugli
j ter shall be punished by confinement and labor in
| the Penitentiary, for a term not less than one, nor
| more than twenty years,” was passed.
1 Tho following acta were also passed.
To make void tho contracts of minors, except
! for necessaries, and no contract for necessaries
: shall bo good, unless the case is such that the
j parent or puardian shall refuse, or fail to supply
i said minor.
t An act to amend an act, approved 19th Janu
i ary, 1829, pointing out tho mode of takiug testi-
I mony of females, so as to include practicing
Physicians, and School teachers in actual employ
ment.
An act to add tho wages of any Superintendent,
overseer, or white laborer on any farm, to tho

Gov. Browa’s Vetoes.
Milledgktille, Dec. 17, 1858.
The following bills passed by the Legislature
just adjourned, have been vetoed by the Gover
nor. They are for the relief of persons who have
been divorced and who, as tho guilty party, are
not permitted under tbe statute to marry again.
The Legislature refused to pass a general bill to
permit all persons in the condition to marry again,
but passed a special act to relieve each individual
who applied. The Governor being of opinion
that these exceptions are wrong, if the rule is right,
refused his sanctions to the following bills, to wit:
For the relief of Wm. S. Backley, and to re
lieve him from certain disabilities.
For the relief of John B. Griffin, of Muscogee,
and Seaborn Whitehurst of Pulaski county.

Washington county.
For the relief of Tin mas Turner, of Whitfield
county from all disabilities and liabilities on ac
count of his intermarriage with Mary Turner, his
wife. Also for tin relief of Eleanor Gay.
The following bids were not signed by the Gov
ernor on account of the failure cf either the Presi
dent of the Senate or Speaker of tho House, or
both, to sign them as required by tho Constitution.
The sanction of the Governor could not therefore
give them the force of law :

to the county of Fannin, and for other purposes.

Jackson county.
A large number of bills were lost on account of
the inability of tbe enrollcr's Clerks to have them
enrolled in time for the signature of tho President
and the Speaker, before tho adjournment of the
Legislature The number that passed tho day
and night of the session, was so largo that the
Clerks could not possibly enroll them all. A num
ber of those, too, signed by the President and
Speaker, wero so imperfectly enrolled that they
were not in a condition to receive the Executive
sanction.
The Rev. Dr. Higgins, of Columbus, Ga.,
preached the installation Sermon in the Presby

Rev. A. R. Ladell, was installed as Pastor of
the Church in this place. We cannot refrain from
expressing our great admiration of Dr. Higgins,
as an able divine and emphatically the most at
tractive pulpit orator we have ever had the plea
sure of hearing. We congratulate the citizens of
Columbus upon their having such a minister

WOOD’S HAIR RESTORATIVE.
Among all preparations for tho hair that have
been introduced as infallible, uone has ever given
the satisfaction or gained the popularity that
Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative now has. His
Restorative has passed the ordeal of innumerable
ashionable toilets, and the ladies, wherever they
have tested it,pronounce it a peerless article. They
find, where the hair is thinned, that it creates *a
fresh growth—that it fully restores the vegetative
power of the roots on the denuded places, and
:auses the fibres to shoot forth anew—that it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when gray
less has actually supervened, gives a rich lustre,
mparts the sofness and flexibility of silk to the
iair, and keeps it always luxuriant, healthy and
u full vigor.— Neva York Tribune.
