Cottas from BalEwln County. We clip the following from the Milledgo rille Recorder : We saw in one of the Augusta papers, a short time since, that Messrs. Warren, Lane <fc Cos., Commission Merchants at Augusta, were receivers of the first cotton from Mil ledgeville over the Augusta A M. R. R. We learn that those who shipped the cotton were Messrs. L. Carrington, J. S. Roberts, Robert Wixson, R. H. Miller, J. H. Nisbet, and E. Trice. Well, we are glad that our Augusta frieuds havo had their hands tickled with cotton from old Baldwin; and now our good friends in Savannah must be wide awake to hold what they got of tho good will of our people. Com petition is tho idea, and the name of Augusta has been mentioned more times since the opening of the road iu November last, than in any six or twelve months time previous. In fact, our people did not think of the city, ns Savannah was their market. Now we hear, “I have been thinking whether to send to Augusta or Savannah, or Savan nah or Augusta, which is the best market,” and like expressions. We are also informed that the railroad agent at this place, has been instructed to let all cotton be shipped to Augusta with out tagging to prevent delay in shipment. If times were not so gloomy, we would be tempted to go to Augusta and talk with the merchants of that energetic and growing city. Success to our Railroad and to the mercantile interests of that goodly city, say we. An Earthquake. —An earthquake was felt in the city this morning.

Atlanta, January 9.—The committee to wait on General Meade reported that the General assured tho Convention he would use oil ihe powers conferred upon him by the reconstruction acts, for a speedy restora tion of Georgia to all her rights in tho Union. On the question of members’ au thority to hold seats, the Convention adopted a resolution that tho proclamation of Gen. Pope is conclusive as to the votes, list of voters, election returns, and persons elected. The relief Committee reported an ordinance to forever forbid legal action on any con tract or data prior to fire! of June, 1865. A resolution was adopted appointing a committee of one delegate from each Con gressional District in the State, to prepare a list of persons in whose behalf Congress should be petitioned by the Convention to remove all disabilities imposed by acts of Congress. Ordinances were introduced to give suf frage to all male citizens who can read the Constitution of the United States and have paid their taxes, and to give equal irrespective of color, to all, in all public places and conveyances. A resolution was introduced to inquire into the propriety of selling the State Road- The financial agent of tho Convention reported that Gen. Meade had handed him in writing the following: • “Gen. Meade desires Doctor Atigier to say to the Convention that he is clearly of the opinion that they are entitled to draw their pay and incidental expenses from the State Treasury, and that he will endeavor as soon as possible to remove tbe obstacles now existing to their being paid.” Congressional. Washington, Jan. 9.— Senate. —A memo rial was presented, asking appropriation for tho relief of the freedmen of the District; also asking for female suffrage in the Dis trict ; also from five thousand hand loom operatives, asking exemption from taxation: The House bill to prevent fraud in whis key revenue passed, with the amendment striking out the words “in bond,” making tbe provision apply to all whiskey. A petition from the Alabama Constitu tional Convention, praying for the removal of Gov. Pattons, on account of political disa bilities, was presented. Morton called up his resolution instruct ing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill abrogating existing State*Governmeuts in the Rebel States, and providing proper governments in lieu thereof. Prelinghuysen moved to amend so as to make the reporting of the bill discretionary with the Judiciary Committee. Morton desired to have tbe sense of the Senate directly upon the question. It was high time that Congress defined itself and its position, in terms not to be misunderstood, on this subject. To his mind the state of affairs now existing in these Rebel commu nities had never been more alarming. Congress had, on the 2d of March, declar ed the existing governments in those States as illegal, and not affording proper security for life ami property ; and at tiiat time, Con gress had provided military supervision until such time as legal governments could be established. To-day, the military authority which they had set up was obstructing tho proper operation of the law in some of those States, and upholding the existing illegal and unauthorized governments. Air. M. here sent to tho desk of the Sec retary the acts of March and July to be read, and also the order No. 1 of General Hancock, in which the civil authority is declared supreme. It would Ire seen that Gen. Hancock, in this order, not only defied the power of Congress, but actually nullified and refused to execute its laws. As General Hancock lias confronted directly the Congress of the United States, it becomes a question as to which side will submit, lie recognizes the authority of the civil tribunal organized by the very State Governments which Con gress has declared to be illegal. There was danger that the work of reconstruction would fail by the very military power which they had raised up to forward it. At this crisis it was incumbent on Con gress to be true and consistent to itself, and proceed to abrogate these governments. It became Congress to say at once what they intended to do. Although declaring in the acts referred to that those State govern ments were illegal, Congress had not desired in tho exercise of its power, to do away with them abruptly; but in tho present juncture thero should not be a moment's hesitation. If the amendment of Mr. Frelinghuysen was adopted, it would mean nothing. He (Mr. M.) wanted a peremptory order to this committee to bring in a bill immediately, and he desired the Senate to so order. Mr. Frilenghuysen did not intend to oppose any of the experiments which had been advanced by the Senator, but thought it but right that some confidence should be reposed in the judgement of the Committee. The expiration of the morning’s hour cut off further debate on the resolution, and the House bill, to suspend further contraction of currency, was taken up and discussed till Executive session and adjournment. House. —Resolutions asking the release of Father McMahon and several other Fenians passed. A bill preventing whiskey frauds as amended by Senate came up and discussed till adjournment. From Richmond.
