AVo have heard that some of oar lady friend* seem to think that the city railway oar* ar* too cold to ride in daring this sea son. Os course the gallant managers of thesa great accommodations will do any thing reasonable tb'promoto tho comfort of their numerous lady fares— and wo would mention that in some of the cities of France they have o simple device for keeping the feet of passenger* warm. This is accom plished by inserting an iron tube along the bottom of tho oar lengthwise in the centre, between the rows of seats. Thia tube is raised a little above tho floor level of the car to afford a rest for the feet, yet not enough to make a stumbling block. When the car leaves the depot this tube is filled with hot water, from a boiler kept heatod for the purpose, and this water retains its heat and gives a pleasant warmth to the feet of the passengers and the car generally for about two hours, after which the tube is refilled. It would be quite comfortable those cold winter mornings and nights to enjoy this convenience on our street ears. The “Conservative” Uesolve* At a large and enthusiastic meeting of tho “Conservatives” of this city, held on the evening of the 4th instant, Mr. A. Itanse AVrigbt editor of the Chronicle <£• Sentinel (Obstructionist), offered the follow ing Resolution, which received only one Black ball: "Resolved, That from the past history and exemplary character as a gentleman and an officer of Major General GEORGE G. MEADE, we believe that ho will, in the discharge of the difficult duties which de volve upon him as Military Commander of District No. 3, so administer the laws which he is sent to execute as to render fair play and equal justice to all classes of our people; and to that end we tender to him, in advance, the assurance that, to the best of our ability, we will sustain and support him in his new and trying position.” In his paper, yesterday morning, the same Mr. AVright calls Gen. Meade a “mili tary satrap.” . ■- * * ——-t-~- Communication to the Sheriff. Yesterday, John D. Smith, Esq., Sheriff of this county, received, Irorn the President and Secretary of tho Georgia State Conven tion, a notification, embracing the following Ordinance, which explains itself: Re it ordained by the People of Georgia, in Convention assembled, and it is hereby ordained by authority of the same, That from and after the passage of this Ordi nance, all levies which have been or may be made under execution issued from any Court of thia State, shall be suspended until this Convention shall have taken or refuse to take final action upon the matter of Relief; and that all sales under execu tion in violation of this Ordinance, shall be null and void, and of no effect. 1 » . J. Frost. Colder and colder grew the air,the night before last ; keener and sharper grew the wind. The heart of the thermometer sank within it as the cold steadily increased. From a respectable figure it sank to a mere cypher, and made the acquaintance of zero, who gave it a cold reception. J. Frost arrived, was busy all night, and early in the morning we espied on our windows the marks of his artistic skill. On every pane was a picture from his brush. On one was a lofty palace, rising dome above dome, sparkling and shining in the sunlight like diamonds; on the next, a beautiful grotto, from whose arched roof hung sparkling stalactites, in all the beauty of nature’s irreg" ularity; on the next, a tangle of ferns: growing with a silvery luxuriance, fiora, Arctic ; on another, seemed to be sketched the outlines of the gubernatorial mansion at Milledgeville, undergoing reconstruction. On all had he shown his skill—some by regular definable figures, others half finished, as if tho sun, his great enemy, had surprised him at his work ; others, like the poetico political editorials of our Obstructionist neighbor over the way, covered with “ glit' tering generalities,” as if they had been used for his pallette whereon he mixed his colors. Dun Cuetello’s .Great Combination Show of Circus and Menagerie. The great show ot the age is coming- The Atlanta Intelligencer thus speaks of it: “Punctual to time, the mammoth show reached our city yesterday morning, and preceded by its magnificent band ‘dis coursing sweet music,’ the principal per formers in the ‘ring,’ ladies and gentlemen, splendidly attired and magnificently mount ed, paraded over our principal streets, ad mired by the thousands—grave and gay, old and young—that gazed upon the brilliant spectacle. Dan Gastello, in the circus and show business, cannot he beat. He is always welcome, for he is always at tho head of the choicest and most popula? company of equestriennes and equestrians that can be found in America, while his ‘Egyptian Caravan’ is always wonderfully attractive. AA r e have not yet been to the great show, but expect to be there the first opportunity, as almost everybody else does in our city. We shall say more of it when we see it.” “Since writing the foregoing, we have seen the great show. Under the largest canvass we have ever seen spread, thousands, last uight, as well as ourself, witnessed the performance of Dan’s great equestrian com pany, with immense satisfaction. AVhere all did so well, we feel disinclined, at the late hour especially in which we pen this brief notice, to discriminate. Suffice it to say the immense audieuce were delighted with the performance throughout, which they mani fested by the heartiest applause. Previous to the circus performance, the magnificent menagerie of wild animals and collection of wild birds underwent the inspection of the audience. All seemed interested and delight ed with this part of the show. Wo havo never seen as many persons present at any previ ous circtiß performance in this city, as were presont last night. Wo estimate the audi ence at little, if any, less than five thousand. Excellent order prevailed throughout the whole performance. Years of-experience have not been lost upon tho raoraiETon of this groat show. 11c knows how to ‘run u show’ if anybody does, and has a large number of warm personal friends in the .South, not a few of whom may be found in this city. “There will be a performance this after noon at two o’clock, and ogain at night. AVe doubt not that the immense canvass will again have thousands under it on each occasion.” Th« Mvenee •» Georgia. Gen. Thomx* H. Uugsh is a native of New York—graduated at West Point in 1854 —entered th* service as Colonel of the 3d Wisconsin Regiment at the commencement of the late war—was appointed Brigadier General of volunteers November 23, 1862; brovetted Major General of volunteer* No vember 30, 1864; and was made Brevet Brigadier General in the regular army March 2, 1867. In April, 18C7, he was assigned to the post of Atlanta, which he held till January 14, 1868, when he was appointed by General MiaDc, as Military Governor of Georgia. Governor Roger is thirty-four years of age, and has a family. Tlic New State Treasurer. Capt, Chas. F. Rookwell, U. B.

[Advertisement.] Chronic Cough and Threatened Con sumption. A married gentleman,aged thirty three, had suffered from a cough for six months; to such an extent as justly to excite the most serious apprehensions on the part of his friends. His cough was frequent, attended with paiu in his side, shortness of breath, loss of flesh, pale, Runken face, and at times fever. All the remedies lie had tried had not availed to meet his case, or even relieve his cough. He took one box of Humph reys’ Cough Pills No. 7 without experiencing but moderate relief; and, on consulting Prof. Humphreys, was advised to use the fever pills in alternation with the Cough Pills. He di'l so, taking three or four pills per day, and found immediate relief, and in three weeks considered himself entirely well, having regained his strength and vigor, ana being free from his cough. f -- -♦♦♦■ [Advertisement.] Houimputliic Insurance. AVe see that a charter has been obtained in New York, (or Homiaopathie Mutual Life Insurance Company, the books of which will be opened for subscription on the 27th of this month at the Tenth National Bank. The principal peculiarity of this new enterprise is that the lives of those who adopt the homoeopathic treatment of diseases are insured at “judicially reduced rates” in comparison with those who are treated in the old manner. The gentlemen who are engaged in getting up this company give, by adopting this feature, a very decided proof of their conviction that the homo#opathic method is the safest and most efficacious. It remains to he seen whether tho allopathic school will get up a rival institution. The capital stock of the company will be two hundred thousand dollars. It is to bo paid in cash and invested in State securities. The stockholders are to receive seven per cent, interest, payable in gold. The enter prise is recommended in a circular by some of our ablest homosopathic practitioners. * [Advertisement.] Goods ala Sacrifice.

Atlanta, Ga., January 14.—The army officers d«tail«d by General Meade, a* Governor and Treasurer of Geor. gia, left this morning fur Milledge ville. It is reliably stated that there arc no funds in the State Treasury—all having been removed in view of the proba bility of such a seizure.as the present. An order dated the |olh appears, from Governor Jenkins, suspending the collection of all State taxes up to first of May next. The old law authorized such suspension, and the Convention, by a resolution adopted in December Just, requested him to use his power for that pnrpose. The effect of this suspension will be to forbid any collection of the tax imposed by the Convention for payment of its expenses. In the Convention to day a resolution was introduced to draw $60,000 from the State Treasury, for per diem pay, etc.; and to recommend Congress to donate public lands to the negroes, and thus give them an opportunity to demonstrate any capacity for self government they may have. A resolution commendatory of Hancock was indefinitely postponed by a vote of 123 to 13. The following was adopted, after the loss of a motion to postpone, by 64 to 44: Resolved, Tiiat in the opinion of the Con vention, it is unwise and inexpedient to directly or indirectly interfere with the legislation of the General Assembly, authorizing the issue of bonds, for the pur pose of paying the indebtedness of the State. A motion to add, “and we hereby recog nize such bonds as binding on the State,” could find no second, and was not acted on.

South Carolina Convention. Charleston, Jan. 14.—Tho Reconstruc tion Convention, composed of 52 Whites and 63 Colored, met, in pursuance to General Canby’s order, at noon to-day. 92 delegates, constituting a quorum, be ing present, T. J. Robertson of Columbia was chosen temporary chairman. The day was consumod in the examina tion of the credentials of delegates. A permanent organization will probably be effected to morrow. The choice for permanent President seems to be between Collector A. G. Mackey of Charleston and B. F.

Washington, Jan. 14.—Certified copies of the Senate’s action regarding Stanton's suspension, were furnished the President, Grant, and Stanton last night. Grant and Stanton had a Conference late last night, and met again, this morning, at the War Office. Grant left the office after ward, and Stanton remained. Stanton re ceived calls from various officers of the Department, bnt up to noon had not form ally commenced business. Up to noon, tho President, lmd taken no action in tho premises. Snow falling heavily. Stanton issued an order this afternoon, informing the employees of the War office that he had again taken possession of the portfolio of the War office. Stanton drew nearly three thousand dollars from the pay officer, being his salary during his suspen sion. Gen. Pope has been assigned to the De partment ol the Lakes—headquarters at Detroit. It is understood that the President in no way recognizes Stanton. It is confidently stated that charges of insubordination hang over Gen. Grant. Nothing definite is known, but the feeling is quite feverish. North Carolina Convention. Raleigh, Jan. 14. —The State Conven tion met to day, agreeably to Gen. Canby’s Order, at Common's Halt.

General Remarks. —The action of tho Senate on the Cotton Tax has been the chief event of tho week; and alter an unusual display of ignorance on the subject under consideration, •fc was decided to repeal the tax on all Cotton grown in 1868, and that the »ax should be con tinued on the crop of 1860. It was further decided that the import duty on foreign Cottons should be repealed for the period American Cotton paid no Internal Revenue tax, in order that Surats should be imported for the bonefit of our bag manufacturers. Tho House referred the action of tho Senate to the Committee of Ways and Means, and the finality of the Congressional action on this important subject is as distant as over. Mean while tho planters are in doubt about preparing their lands for a crop, not knowing if the present confiscation of 25 per cent, of the product of their industry is to continue or not. Accounts from the Cotton States are most gloomy; en gagements of labor arc few, and there is a uni versal cry that no cotton will be made this year. In a previous circular we pointed out tho fillaoy of believing in no crop, and tho certainty of there being a considerable reduction from the yield of 1861. To those farmers who have the means to plant, tho present year promises to bo a very profitable one; but there are vast estates which will make no crop, let the prospect boas flattering as may be. Many planters find them selves hopelessly insolvent, and capital to plant another crop after the experiences of tho past two years will not be obtainable. Various schemes havo been suggested for government aid to plant the crop, but havo thus far absolutely failed, and to oxpect auy such assistance seems beyond tnc limits of possibility. In the presont condition of the South foreign capital cannot bo induced to invest, and the only course left is to plant cotton as a surplus crop. The past two years havo demonstrated beyond cavil that ignorant free labor cannot raiso cotton at ten cents currency and buy corn. Capital continues to'watch cotton with careful eyes, and large investments are ready to be made as soon as bottom is fairly touched. But the opinion is general that thero will be no free speculative movement until the end of the free receipts and a brighter look visiblo in the market for manufactured goods. The mills are now running in a majority of cases full time at re duced wages, and the stocks of goods arc accu mulating. The prospects of any early improve ment in our domestic market are far from bright —the South will not be able to buy any amount of goods this Spring, and although the West is obtaining full prices for her grain and hogs no large quantities of goods are expected to bo moved in that direction, iu face of tbo heavy failures which are occurring in the leading cities. In sac. thero is a sort of paralysis in the goods trade, and lack of confidence is doily increasing in all its branches. This feeling is not attribut able alone to tho heavy losses experienced in 1867, but in part to the financial fever which the currency has provoked, and which bids fair to increase rather than diminish. Tho most favorable news during the week is the approximation in price of spot cotton and cotton to arrive in Liverpool, tho latest quota tions showing only a farthing difference. This shows a shade better feeling as regards their market than has been visible for some time pass, and little talk is heard about Middling Uplandt going to sixponco, O. EL.
