It gives us pleasure to present our renders, this morning. with tho remarks of our esteemed fellow citizen, Uou. YVna. Uihsoii, PrvsKlojn Ol the Slste Senate. ms addressed to that bode tit the lionr ut adjournment of the les-iion res ferdny, at IV, M. Judge Gihsoa ij » most impressive speaker, distinct •» 1 deliberate in his enunciation, and we cannot hut think some <>l the sentiments i so eloquently given in the following. j must hare elicited th« cordial approba- j tion and evoked the deepest interest of , that honorable body over which he so j well presided: Hem iirir of Hon. Wm. /Vest dent oi the & mite of ln wi/ouiuiny thot fatyt trmajf, Dec. 12, 1888: , ... SesAiolut: The duties for -which we assembled having discharged We must iwli-Hirn, and return to our borax*. Mav a cordial, hearty and affectionate «. welecme kotiKt” soon greet you s>t. I tender vou my grateful aeknowledg ments for the ‘respect, liberality and kindness vou luivo extended to me us vour presiding eftleor : nml I can high }y commend your respectful and cour teous bearing, in ah matters, toward each other. If your labors shall pro mote the interest, prosperity and wel fare of the people of Georgia, your greatest attihatibs will be gratified. Vet. poor, frail humanity, with all its tendencies to err, being the destiny of all, may we not trustingly appeal to a noble, generous and magnanimous con stituency to pardon our many faults and short-comings. Tho functions of State Government, so magnanimously bestowed by that far-seeing statesman, your noble and generous President, may be taken from us. Wo may bo made as helpless as infancy itself, yet, trusting to that same Kternal Spirit that protected the Babe born in the manger, we, too, may he safe ly conducted from the rod of Herod. The voice of tgutli and reason cannot al ways bo kept silent. If we have not greatly misapprehended the character and nature of the Government of the United States, no State nor individuals can be made to depend upon the capri cious and arbitrary will of legislators. Vile arts maybe used to defame and blai ken the purest and best characters ; sophistry may evade, laisehood assert, and impudence deny, thereby securing a temporary triumph to wickedness and error, yet the great Chart of lib erty —the Constitution of the United States—around which so many gracious and benevolent hearts cluster, stands conspicuous to guide and direct us through the dashing billows of n mad dened sea. If we are driven into re tirement and not a 1 lowed even to speak, let us he consoled, as was the great Carthusian, when he said “Kt xi haee praeiheta conjitiri non posxim niru/ua Inmen eorde et scripto." (If I cannot confess these tilings with my tongue, 1 at least confess them with my pen and my heart). If it, too, shall be our fate to ha sacrificed, may we not appeal to the most ■ obdurate to be heard ? The great I Am, from whom nothing is, or ever was, hidden, cited Adam before He condemned him, “ Adam, where art thou?.’ and, too, in the instance of Cain, we hear Him say, “Cain, where is thy brother Abel?” 1 ask, when before, in the history of the world, has the guilt of the most atrocious crimes excluded the criminal from the right of defending himself? If the blood tlint has been shed, the lamentations of the stricken and sad hearts of widows and orphans, parents and children, that fill the very atmos phere itself, the great demoralization of society, do not suffice, and greater grief and sorrow yet await us, let him whoso venality, corruption, ambition, and pride kindles this flame beware lest this great fire, when again alight ed, may not, too, consume him who kindleth the flame: for it is written. “ They that take the sword shall perish by the sword,” and nothing is better settled than that human forbearance and endurance have a limit. The worm itself may rise and strike when trodden under foot. There are not wanting, either. Instances of those who have been bathed in the rivers of woo and afflictions coming forth purified and invigorated with greater vitality. The flamp of martyrdom kindled' a lire, which shed a brilliant light amidst tho general gloom, not easily extinguished. The flames, too, may destroy the most beautiful and magnificent edifice, yet, beneath its smouldering ashes bright sparks will lie concealed. Tho inqui sition, prisons, and stakes have in vain been employed to crush truth—it is im possible. That there are minds capable of comprehending and fully under standing the great truths of self-gov ernment Ido not doubt: and that there are brave heart- who will dare to as sert them I will not question: and if so, will it not find an echo in all our breasts ? Our father- endured a seven years war to establish the principles of self-government—will we not dare maintain them ? Let us then bide our time in calmness and great patience, remaining ever true to ourselves, true t” the principles of self-government. Let us, too, be sotier, frugal, and indus trious ; strictly just and upright, main taining at all times the supremacy of the laws and order, asking Divine guidance and direction in all things, and a reward yet awaits ns, asa nation and a people, beyond tho imagination of the most Sanguine to picture.

A letter tn the New York Times says |tip Ptenefc are IbrtitVtng and show no signs of quitting the country. The same writer adds : “A mealing of tho Conservative |<orty of Mexico was held at Orizaba, where delegates from many of the States ap poured. < I»rtTing petitions to Maximilian, and pmrtng that he might reconsider his determination to abdicate. The pub- I ij,- has not been officially apprised ol the proceedings of the conference, but enough is known to indie ite the pro longation ol the war; flint Miramon lias been appointed commander oi all troops under Maximilian, and that the en cToNi hnicnts ol foreign powers are to be resisted j bitter and determined hostility to the cession of laud by Juarez, or any one else, to the l nited Slates, and a unanimous cull upon the present Em peror to aid them in the coming contest. It is said, after a mature deliberation of some eight hours. His Majesty acceded to their wishes, and agreed not to abdi cate.” Since the foregoing was put in type, we are in receipt of the New Orleans despatch, bringing most important news from Mexico. It seems that the clergy and most influential citizens, awake to the dreadful state of aflairs that must follow the overthrow of Maximitiau's government, have petitioned him to remain, and promised to raise twenty millions to support and carry on the Empire. We have ever believed that a vast majority ol the enlightened people of Mexico preferred the empire, as it evidently has been to their interest to maintain it, and without a cruel inter vention from the United States, we believe it will yet triumph. —Macon ( Go.)

AHOU9EKEKPER WITH A SEWING MACHINE needs to hi re no ream* *tre»a j she has uu ir« D one that never kills itself frith tight lacing or dttpepiia, nor give* up by noon sick with the head* aobe. A young woman with a Sewing Machine is independent. It will bring her in more money than ma»y a husband would, and''would never grumble wbon she uses it, either ; and, besides, it will neither •moke, dr*nk, flirt with the girls, nor run up a board bill for her to pay. Still, not withstaudiug all this, no doubt some silly girls will prefer beaux and husband* to a “Wheeler A Wilson but plenty who have tried husbands, would like the chance to choose again, and take the Machine, I warrant you. Bat the best of all is, when having got a husband, be, nice nmfi that Le is, gets and buy* the Sewing Machine, and, perhaps, learn* to run it himself ; and while she sits uud cuts and baste* the cloth, he run* it through the Machine with a rush, and. like magiciaus who puli all sorts of thing* out of all manner of strange places, so he tumbles in bits of cloth at one end and pulls out at the other all manner of those men's clothes, women's clothe*, boys’ clothes, girl's clothes, and baby clothes, which are so handy to have iu the house, where a happy couple live. Now, my friend, hadn't you better go and get your wife a dewing Machine ? It will be better than to get anew wile when yours ha* sewed herself to death, won't it? 41 What wiil it cost ?" Oh ! any where from fifty to one hundred dollars, and thereabouts. “Can't afford it.” 0, you can’t! How long will it take yoo to make up that amount of money in cigar* at present prices ? Sell a cow, if have several, and buy a Mach ine. Sell a horse and buy a Aliichine. Use tho old furniture and buy a Machine. Use the old wagon aud buy a Muehiue. Wear tho old clothes and buy a Machine. A Machine is better than a toelodeon. A Machine is better than a piano. And, besides, with a Machine, jimt you can save and earn enough to buy many other things. “tv hat one shall I get?” “Wo prefer the Wheeler aud Wilson Sew ing Machines for family uso.” There is no MACHINE in the WORLD that can do so GREAT A VARIETY OF WORK as the IMPROVED WHEELER A WILSON, or give such thorough satisfac tion ; it cannot, be equalled for Stitching, Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Tucking, Braiding, and will sow anything from the THICKEST CLOTH to the Finest Cambric, etc. The reeent improve ments render this Machine tar more effi cient, ami is now universally acknowl edged to be the leading FAMILY SEWING MACHINE of the WORLD.

TESTIMONY OF RECOMMENDATION From Medical gentlemen. Professors of th highest Opthalmio talent in Augusta, Ga.,u; iu the Union : Augusta, Ga., December Sth, 18*5. I have examined the Glasses of Dr. Bern hardt, and find them of good quality. Hit testimonials are very numerous aud exceed, ingly flattering. L. A. DUGAS, YI. h. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 7, 1865. I do most willingly bear my testimotjh favor of the superiority of tbe Australian Crystal—single aud double vision spectacles uver all other kinds. They arc conetrucled upoD the best established and understood prin ciples of optics, and tbeir adaptation to tbe ho-ran eye in its different conditions of vision is so perfect, as to render sight easy without effort. In my opinion, none others should be used, since the eyes once used to (hose do Dot seem to grow old, and by having a focus at any point of the surface, they appear to re store the eyes to their youthful energy. LEWIS I). FORD', M. I). Augusta. Ga. Dec. 7,18*8. I have examined a great variety of Olssta manufactured by Professor M. Bernhardt, and in justice to the Professor, mast snv that his Glasses are of a superior quality, adapted to meet the wants of uimost every eye, where the vision is in any way imperfect. The Professor selected for me a pair of his Australian Crystal Glasses, which are of a very superior quality and workmanship, rendering vision very dis tinct, almost as perfect as in youth. 1 yield this testimony in favor of the Profetuur'i Glasses most cheerfully. C. C. PRITCHARD, M. D. •Augusta, Ga.. Dee. 7, 1866. I very cordially recommend Prof. M. Bern hardt to all who may require Glasses. ■DbSAUSSURE FORD, M. I). Augusta, Ga., Pec. 7, 1865. We have examined the Lenses of Professor Bernhardt, and consider them superior to aoj we have seen. They are miniirably adapted no: only to improve the imperfections of impaired sight, but to relieve the weariness of vision which constant study produces. Many of tbe Glasses are of new aud ingenious contrivance. We cordially recommend the Professor to all those who require scientific optica! assistance. H. 11. BIGNON, M. D., JOHN L. COLEMAN, M. D. YV.

They are very remarkable for their beauty of workmanship, and for their power to assist the vision. Dr. M.
