WBDNBiDAV. UK< KMBER 22. WM. 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. Detention of the Steamship Ariel. Halifax, Dec. 20; — The steamship Ariel ar- ; rived here to-day short of coal, in charge of the j first officer. Duriug a gale on the Bth inst., a heavy sea struck the steamer aud killed Capt. Lud low, and seriously injured the second officer and seamen. The first offieor was slightly injured. She leaves to-morrow for New York. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 20.—1n the Senate to-day, the Pacific railway bill was discussed. A subeti tue was offered by Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, providing for tho building of that road by the government, but his amendment was negatived. In the house, the old soldiers’ bill was discussed. A resolutiuu looking to the census of 1860 was passed. A joint resolution was adopted that both houses of Congrass will adjourn on Thursday next, until tfcs 4th dsy of January. Georgia Annual Conference. SIXTH DAT. Tuesday, Dec. 21, 1858.

Dr. McFerrin rejoined. Polygamy. We learn from Washington that a bill for tho suppression of polygamy in Utah and all other Territories, will be introduced at an early day in Congress, and be vigorously pressed. 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 debts due by any intestate or tostator, to be paid first in order. An act to permit Exocutors, Administrators, and Guardians, representing estates, having wild and scattered lands lying iu different counties, to sell the same at private sale, whenever the inter city of the estate ot ward shall require e^ob sale. From the Georgia Macon Telegraph. 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. For the relief of Mrs. Mary Francis Nunor, of Cobb, and Sterling S. Jenkins, of Merriwether county. , ~r . For tho relief of Mrs. Mary Jane \\ arren, of Houston county, and for other purposes therein specified. For the relief of Lawson Cody, of Chattahoo chee county, and Emily Sbaw, of Walker county, and for other purposes herein mentioned. For the relief of James Hagan of the county of Floyd, and John W. Hardwick, of the county of Jasper. For the relief of Melissa A. 11. Booker, of Gor don county. For the relief of Maria Searcy, formerly Maria Small, of the county of Houston. To authorize and* permit Benjamin M. Bigley to marry again, and to protect him in so doing from tbe pains and penalties of Bigamy. For the relief of Alexander Teague, of Union county, and Ira S. Noles, of Terrell county. For the relief of David Dyer, of Morgan coun ty, and Overton Sego, of Bibb county, and for other purposes. For the relief of Henry Clark, formerly of Ba ker, now Mitchell county. For the relief of David W. Irwin, of Chatham, James Smith, of Clay, Francis Drith, of Randolph, Henry Branson, of Mclntosh, and Polly Ann Maryman, of Miller county. For tho relief of Amanda C. Flournoy, of 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 : An act to add a part of the county of Gilmer to the county of Fannin, and for other purposes. To legalize and make valid tho Sheriff’s Bond of the county of Glasscock, and also to provide for the drawing and empanelling Petit Jurors, for the second week of the term of the Superior Court of the county of Walton. To incorporate A. J. Miller, Lodge No. 204, of free and accepted Masons, and to confer cer tain powers. To amend the first Section of tho third Article of the Constitution of the State of Georgia. To require the Judges of the Inferior Courts of Franklin and Thomas counties, to appoint a Board of Commissioners, Ac. To allow teachers of poor ehildrcu in the coun ties of Calhoun and Columbia, to charge for Books furnished to said childron, and to require tbe Or dinary to pay said accounts. To repeal all special laws providing for the pay ment of Grand and Petit Jurors of the county of Baker. For the relief of the heirs and representatives of Luke Padgett. To authorize the appointment of Masters or Auditors in Equity and define their duty. To compensate the Sheriff of Jefferson county. To alter and amend an act app. sth March, 1856, entitled an act to alter and amend tho 6th Section of an act app. 11th Feb’y. 1854, entitled an act to incorporate tho Dalton Copper Mill & Turnpike and Rail Road Company, and for other purposes therein named. To require the Inferior Court of tho county of Muscogee to pay exposes necessarily incurred in holding the Superior Courts of said county. To provide for the better regulation of tho Town of Crawfordsvillo as to eating tables, kept by negroes either freo or slave, aud for other pur poses. For the relief of Benjamin T. Rees, guardian of Goveneur 11. Embre, and authorize said guar dian to purchase a farm for the benefit of said Minor’s Estate. To regulate the granting of Retail License and sale of spirituous liquors iu the county of Clay. To authorize the Inferior Courts of the counties of Fayette and Madison, to levy an extra tax to pay the Grand and Petit Jurors one dollar per diem for their services as Jurors. To define tho line between the counties of Clay and Early counties. To incorporate the Ellijay Gold and Copper Mining Company. The Governor withheld his sanction to the fol lowing bills on account of provisions contained in them violative of the Constitution. To authorize the Ordinary of Richmond coun ty to demand and receivo certain fees therein mentioned, and for other purposes. To incorporate the town of Thomson, in Col umbia county. The following bill was not sanctioned because the Governor did not consider the claim a just one against tbe State, and because tho sum ap propriated was insufficient, if the claims were just, viz : An act for the relief of John M. Wilhite, of 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 terian Church, on last Sabbath. On the occasion 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 amodg them. —Cuthbert lieporter Pec. 1 StA. Personal Paragraphs.
