if be Pails Hi” ss ' City Printer —Official Paper ÜBBKST CwfciHCrLATIOW. AUDUMTA. UA.> SATURDAY MORNING.....Nov. 10. ISM Georgia Reject* the Coaotitutiooal Amendment A* we anticipated, the Georgia legis lature hat rejected the Constitutional Amendment, and that by an almost unanimous vote. This has been done in no defiant or revolutionary spirit, but in the proud consciousness of right, and a reasonable unwillingness on the part of the people to father degradation upon themselves. The General Assembly could do no more nor less than has been done. We have submitted to every exaction that has been made upon us; but this pill is too bitter to swallow, and it has been rejected. What the result will be we know not; but our Northern brethren must know that, while we are ready and williug to submit to any and every honorable requirement that can reinstate ns in the Union, and secure peace and pros perity to oar country, we are not willing to fix the chains of disgrace arouud oar o*n necks. We can not and will not. Good Advice. We have takcu the position, that the duty of the Southern people is to eschew politics and devote all their euergies to the recuperation of their section of the Union, and to the development of its resources. We are gratified to find that, in the Press of the South, we have so many able co-workers in the advocacy of this position. The following article from the Columbia (S. C.) Phoenix, is full of good advice—and to the point: What tiie South Has to Do.—The apparent apathy of the South with re gard to national or party politics has already attracted the tierce partizan journals of the North. They cannot understand why the Southern people, deprived as they are of representation in Congress, do not rush into the arms of one or the other parties at the North, to help them in their present condition, or to rescue them from worse evils to come. The State of Texas, the other day, in her Congressional elections, gave a striking evidence of the feelings of the people generally at the South—the vote was extraordinarily small, and the people took no interest in the matter, knowing that whoever might be'elected would have their trip to Washington for nothing, or else to receive the sneers and snubs of the Radicals, for their silliness in thinking they would he admitted into their godly communion of * saints, whose high priest is trying to make a bargain with his liege lord and master—his satanic majesty—to estab lish a penitentiary in his nether domin ions for the express benefit of rebels. As with Texas, so will it be with the whole South. The preliminary work to their more active duties is, for the Southern people to let Federal politics alone. It is the province of the press (and they will perforin their duty faith fully iu tie premises), to keep their read era folly posted up as to the movements of their avowed political enemies and of their professing friends iu the Northern States, in all matters affecting their in terests. As to the absolute term, politi cal and constitutional “rights,” the soon er the Southern people forget it, the better; it has been wiped out with a bloody sponge, and it will never be re stored, we are afraid, in our day and generation. State rights, (once glorious doctrine), State sovereignty, (the bul wark and strength of Republican liberty), and a strict adherence to the Constitu tion, (John C. Ca'houn’s glorious and immortal motto), have all been swept away by the bayonet, the torch and sword, and expunged from our political lexicon, as theories; their practical use, applica tion aud benefit have fallen with the “lost cause,” and, with it, must sleep until right, justice and truth snail again assert their sway in this unfortunate aud fanatic-ridden country. The people of tiie South have no thing left of all the principles their lathers held dear, to enter again into the field of political strife. They have other work to do, however—more to the purpose, more practical, and of vastly greater importance, than any of the old political issiH-s, ivn■■•there any ot them left to squuhh: over. And w. lice it is a mercy that it is so, for if there ■were inducements to enter national poli ties at present, the work of recupera tion would be delayed, and we would think more of the success of our princi ples or party, than of a good crop of corn or Cotton. It is to these that the South must now apply itself; her wheat crops next spring, blessed by the Father of all seasons, ought to ho abundant ; her stock should be added to and im proved ; her ground, even on a small scale, thoroughly prepared lor corn and Cotton; her fences repaired, and her pasta res well tenanted with beevd's. The farm will require all the attention of the Southern agriculturist, and leave him little time for Federul philips, or tor street corner or bar room discussions over dead issues or future political events. Their sons, 100, ought to be taken from the haunts ot idleness, if nut of dissipation, and put to work in the field, or some other place ol usefulness about the old plantation ; for a pair of active, vnnn/. strong, and willing hands, working for the lather, will be worth six pair of the negro slave, who performed unwillingly ids slovenly task, and then did not care for the result. Work, work, work, is the destiny and duty of the Southern people tor some years to come. All have their share to perform; the merchant should give the highest possible price, without peenui ary loss, tor the plauter's produce, and should sell his goods at the most reason able liviug profit. It is no time tor makiug a tortune in a year or two, by fleecing one another ; cordial co operation, or, in common parlance, a Jong pull, and a strong pull, and a pull, altogether will, if persisted in with ener gy aolf-reluiuco.Bud tnrbenring torun af ter strange gods, in the shape ot extrava gance in dress, fashions, eventually restore tl.e Mouth, and enable heroine more properly to lift her head, and at the titling lone assert her lights under the government, with that determination which will bring success. L util i h'-n, wait and work patiently, and eschew Federal politics. Reported Specially fur tki Daily Fmi*. Georgia Legislature. Mn.t.KitOKviM.K, Nov. 8, 1866. senate.

Mr. Pottle, of Warren: To provide for an Agricultural College for this State, under the Congressional Land Scrip Act. Adjourned. Pluto. For the Daily Press. The Situation—The Question. Messrs. Edwors : If the acceptance to the Amendment to the Constitution proposed by Congress, aud which is the proposition of the men or party known as Radicals who now control it, could or would be she “all-and-end all,” tbe South would assert to it. If it would or ftould be regarded ns the Restorative of the Constitution as made by our fathers; if it would result iu the reconstruction of the union of the States ; if it would restore Southern representation ; if it would give the assurance that taxation would not be laid without representa tion ; if it would give peace, law and order; it it placed representation on the white basis only, and accepted the prop osition that the Government was to be an expouent of the Caucus an (white) race only ; if it was an acknowledgment of the honor, the truth, the fidelity and resources of the South, the South would assent to it. But the more the South yields tho more the North will demand. It is human nature. What such men as Orr and Perry, of South Carolina, ad vised to be yielded, and who strutted themselves on the stage of the last eighteen months, in the vanity of yield mg, and for their own promotion, has but produced disgust and contempt in their own State, and in the entire South. That Constitutional Amendment can be easily defeated. If ten States out of thirty-six refuse to assent to it, it is con stitutionally gone. But my point is, that if the South ac cepts the Constitutional Amendment, more will be demanded of her. It will be demanded that she should assent to and provide for negro suffrage ; and in so doing, pul the negro on the level of the white race: aud that even the miscegenation ot tbe white and black races should occur. The South has no intention to sacri fice what is due to her, through her civilization, her blood, her spirit, and her present and future resources, to any admixture with negro blood or influ ence which shall rule her. We—the South—will not, therefore, accept the Constitutional Amendment. Our foot is down. Respectfully, John Cunningham. Merchant Tailors—lnternal Rev enue Taxes. — Hon. Thomas Harlan, Deputy Commissioner of Internal Reve’ nue, in reply to a letter from a clothing house, relative to the taxes on tailoring business, gave the following decision : Under the act of June 30, 1864, as amended by the act of March 3, 1865, the tux on clothing, etc., was six per cent, ad valorem. And a tailor exclu sively engaged in manufacturing to or der, as custom work, whose products, including materials, did not exceed SI,OOO, was exempt from duty. Under the act of June 20, 1864, as amended by the act of July 13, iB6O, the tax is about two per cent., and a tailor exclusively engaged in manufacturing to order, as custom work, whose work, exclusive of material, does not exceed SI,OOO per annum, is exempt trom duty. When the work exceeds in value annually $1,01)0, the party manufactur ing to order as above can have no claim to the exemption nuder section ninety four, but is liable to a tux of two per Cent, ad vahicm on llie entire amount of His manufactures, unless he may be entitled to the exemptions under the provisions of section ninety-three of said act. The tax on clothing is in all cases ou the entire value of the same, including material, labor, and profits, and not oil the increased oalue given to the mate rials by making, or, in other words, o« labor alone. This is the case when a tailor makes clothing from materials furtiisln-d him by his customer, as well as when he furnishes the materials him self. In this case lie has the right to charge the tax to the customer furnish ipg the material. Stewart and His Cheap Tenements, —'t he New York 'Jribune says, Mr. A. T. Stewart has decided not to erect the houses fur the poor on the land offered by a wealthy citizen for that purpose. He wiiT accept aid from uo sSTtrce what ever, lint will himself prosecute the, project t 6 completiou-at an expeaso ap* proximating nearer five millious than one million dollars. A well known architect of New York hus been consulted, and' the noble work of providing homes for the industrious poor, is to be commenced at an early dliy and prosecuted with energy. Hknby Clay's Prediction. — In his letter to Calvin Coltoii, September 2d, 18-13, Mr. Clay says: “The present question (the slavery question) in the Free States will destroy all harmony, and finally lead to disunion. 1 lie con sequences of disunion are—perpetual Wiir —the extinction ot the African race Qiiiitury despotism, ’ Special Notices.
