December 0,1863, Perhaps It may not bo uninteresting to some or our read- era to hear something of the florernor’s Levee, which came off tut night. There has been, since the Governor's inau guration, much speculation in regard to tho time that this great event would take place; and these were not settled until the Invitations were distributed some days ngo. Of course great preparations were made by those who were In- vlWB, and persons were assembling there from early candle light to eleven o’clock. The crowd waa Immense—greater, we are informed, than hu ever been known to attend a levee at this place before. The display was grand, and the supper table the roost beautiful one we ever beheld, and did great credit to the fair hand that arranged It. Num- bera of ladles from every part of the State were prosent among whom were Miss It—-,of Nownan ; Miss D—and the Misses B , of Macon ; the Misses C and Miss M——, of Athens: also Mr*. II—, of Alabama, and many others whose names we could not learn, Baldwin County had a large and beautiful representation there.

The evening passed off so pleassntly, that, although it wu two o'clock before the company dispersed, it appeared but a few moments from the beginning of the evening. Millkxjevul*, December 12th. Senat*—Mr. Dunwoody moved to re-consider so much of the Journal, of Saturday, as relates to the bill to regulate the measurement of timber In this State. This motion was lost. Yea* 2d—Nay* 54. Mr. Pope, of Wilkes, then moved tu re consider so much of the same as relates to the resolution which was lost on Saturday—relative to the recess which the Legislature pro poses to take. Mr. Dunnagan, of lloll, opposed tho motion: said ho was afraid to go homa to hi* constituents sftor having done so little. Mr. Green, of Pike, said that he was also afraid of his con stituents, but his fear was different from that of the Sena tor from Hall. He could only reply, when asked tho reason of his having done so little, that his modesty prevented him from having anything to say in the presence of such men as the Senator from Hall, who was always consuming the time of the Senate. He said that tho Senator from llullncli [Mr. Cono] was also opposed to taking a recess, and he thought very naturally, at the Senator had no wife at home, whom be could visit. He bad seen tbe gentleman looking very frequently at the ladles in the gallery, and if ho did not return homo during the roccis he could find enough entertainment in their company in-ftfilledgevllle. Mr. Cone said, he did not dosire to •• open his mouth ” on the question, but as he was referred to in the remarks of the Senator from like, ho would only ssy a few words. He ssld that the Senator had given as a reason for having done nothing, that ho was too modest. He knew that; and thought that his constituents would have done better had they sent eotne one here who conld have attended to their business. Ho did not expect anything from the gentle man ; and was confident that tho gentleman’s constituents did not, when they sent him here. The question to re consider being put before the Senate, was carried. Yeas 50—Nays 38. It waa moved to toko up the resolution relative to the recess. This was carried. Yeas 67—Nays 30.

Many of our best and most adventures citlscna are panting,for an opportu nity to penetrate those mysterious and unexplored regions, with a view to the development ortho mine* ral wealth which Is said to abound there to an extent almost fabulous. Two expeditions, having thoir heads In Ban Francisco, are now fitting oat in the State; Die destination ofone or which is Peru and of the other Ecuador. The Peruvian company is organising under tho auspices of tho Cousul of that country, aud with the sanction of that Government.

It was very limited In extent, not having been felt any where else, aud was much exag gerated by first reports. Quite a number of clipper ships have arrived from the Atlantio ports, all of them haviug made rather lornr passages. The steamers by tho Nicaragua lino continue to ar rive several days in advance of those of tho P. M. S. S. Company—thus bringing tho nows from New York iu advance of tho regular mall.

The Beach Diggings between Cre^ceut City und Port Orford in Oregon, are found to bo or littfo account.

On Jamison Creek, $3444 were taken out of seventeen tons of quartz, and in Nevada coun ty, $3500 from thirty tons of quartz. On Feather River, the average amount taken from three claims in five days, was about $20,000. On tho Monquelumne Rivor, in what aro called the Southern Mines, several companies have realized from twenty to thirty ounces each daily ; whilst others havo proved very unsuc cessful. As a general thing, tho report of this year is rather,unfovorablo on this river. Ono company on James’ Bar, however, succeded in taking out over $10,000 iu two weeks.
