Georgia has once been called on to the! between these altcrna- construction will be placed upon it by our Federal legislators. It has been apprehended, and not without reason, that a fanatical Northern majority might, under the grant of power, usurp the right to subvert the reserved powers of the States, and to regulate their domestic relations and internal polity. This could never be allowed, as it strikes at the very essence of our free institutions, and blots out the great lino of demarcation between Federal and State authority, which, in point of fact, is the true secret of all our success as a government. Such an interpretation, however, has been distinctly repudiated by the highest officers of the government. The President, Secreta ry of State, and Attorney Gfcncral, when spe cially interrogated on the subject, with the view of controlling the action of a State re garding the amendment, have united in the assurance that the clause in question gives no such dangerous power ta Congress, but is, to use their own language, “restraining” in its effect i Under this state of facts, and especially as it appears to !>e an important link in the chain of reconstruction, we regard the proposition a reasonable one, and can see no reason why the Legislature should not promptly adopt it, and among the first measures of the session. The preamble to the adopting resolution should distinctly state the sense in which fire amendment is regarded by the Legislature; and wc hope Governor Johnson, instead of presenting the subject in tlicj offensive shape of a demand, will follow the usual precedent by simply laying the matter before the Legis lature for its action.

The business of tbc Legislature was con fined, yesterday, to the work of organization. The attendance was good m both houses, and the necessary elections Condnctcd with promptness and despatch. The senate, it will Iks seen from our telegram, made choice of Uon. Wm. Gibson, from the Augusta dis trict, as its president. He is an old member, will veracd in the details of legislation, nnd will, doubtless, make an excellent presiding officer. Col. Hardeman, the speaker elect of the house, has before filled tbc same po sition, and with credit to himself. In this respect, both houses have done well, and will have no reason to regret their selections. With a secretary and clerk well versed in their respective duties, there is every encour agement to hope that the business of the legislature will proceed with commendable despatch.

Dec. 4. i860. ■* The time so long and so earnestly desired by the people of Georgia has at length ar rived, and the Legislature has assembled at the scat of Government. A full quorum of both house) are present; the Governor dec* is on the ground, and, to all appearance, ev erything » ready for the performance of the needful legislation lor the country.

I understand, however, that the loan can be affected at a discount of bonds slightly greater, if the Legislature will grant tbc power. .

Editor* : Knowing the benevolent character of'each of you, we do not hesitate to ask a small space in your columnsto intro duce to the public the wants and needs of an institution which has been struggling into life, and is now declining for the want of pro per support, and encouragement from tl|C good and charitable. We allude to the Or phan School kept by 3Irs. Hughes, on Poplar street The enterprise inaugurated by 3Iessrs. Fears and Anderson, and, so far, almost en tirely sustained by tbeir liberality, Is one which must immediately commend itself to the sympathies of all. The indigent children of soldiers who fell fighting for the liberties of tbc South, appeal to ns for. a limited education that will fit them to be useful and independent citizens. Can any one lie deaf to the cry ? Is any one so devoid of natural sympathy for liis kind as to look unmoved at the woes pf indigent orplinngc ? Wc trust, in our city, there are Sirs. Hughes, for small remuneration, has faithfully and conscientiously discharged her duty to. them as teacher and friend, and now solicits assistance from the public, particu larly tlie ladies, to clothe more comfortably the children, procure them books and add to her school the necessary advantages denied it by tlie meagre means at her command.— She begs for contributions of cast-off cloth ing, which she offers to alter and repair her self at her leisure, and suggests that the ladies get up a u Chri*tma* Tree” for the benefit of tlie school. With very little labor, the ladies conld prepare numberless articles for sale, nnd tlie proceeds of such a tree, while affording enjoyment to the young, woqjd bring comfort and joy to many a widowed heart. If each lady, who lias a spark of womanly kindliness in her nature, would make but one article in the few weeks elapsing between now and Christinas, and send it to 3Irs. Hughes, next door to Col. Washington's residence on Pop lar street, a lew ladies interested in the school would secure a room, and in one evening realize a sum that would astonish those w hose individual charity had cost them so little. We leaVc the matter to the hearts and consciences of all our citizens, trusting it will receive due consideration. A Ladt of Macox. The aliove appeal, from a lady well known in this city for the warm and patriotic sym pathies of her heart, will, we know, excite an interest in the breasts of our female readers,-and arouse, we hope, active benevo lence in regard to the object of the communi cation. • Important to Importers. TVe learn from the New Orleans True Delta of the 23d, that Judge Kellogg has just re- crived a'deciaon from the secretary of the treasury wliieh is of much interest to import ing merchants. It may Dot be generally known, say* the True Delta, that when the European agent of one of our importing bouses ships a consignment of goods to.this country, he is compelled to file a true list of the articles in the office of the American con sul at the port of shipment. This invoice the consul sends under seal to the collector of the port of destination for the goods, and the strictly requires that no consignment shall be permitted to enter until the consular certifi cates are received. * Sometimes the consuls do not send these certificates by the same vessel on wMch the goods arc shipped, preferring to wait until they make up quite a package and then for ward them by regular mail steamer. I11 this manner they sometimes reach the desired point in advance of the importation, but fre quently a number of days after it, thus cans ing delay and vexation to the merchant.— But the newly received decision will obviate further trouble and delay from this cause. The collector, appreciating the.annoyance and injury inflicted upon the importer, stretched his authority a couple of weeks ago, and permitted a consignment of dry goods to enter without a consular certificate, taking the bond of the consignee tliat the document would be forthcoming within 'a reasonable time, yhis action he referred to the secreta ry of the trtasury, and an approval has been returned, accompanied with authority to re peat it in future at discretion, the only re quirements being that the merchatts shall give bonds, and file a copy of tlie invoice with the collector at the time of entering his goods. Habeas Coupes.—The President has re stored the privilege of habea* corpus to all the States except Virginia, Kentucky, Ten ncssee, North garolina 1 Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas, tlie District of Columbia,' and tlie Territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Confiscated.—From tlie Huntsville, (Ala.) Adeoeate, of the 30th, we learn that all the property of C. C. Clay, Jr., now a prisoner, in Alabama, lias liccn put in process of con fiscation by the United States District At torney. News from Mexico. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, under date of the 2Gth ultimo, gives the following in regard to 3Iexican af faire: “The latest advices received from the city of Mexico state that considerable excitement had been created by the report that several hundred American soldiers had fought side by side with tlie liberals before Jlatamoras, and by General 3Icjia’s announcement that fifty of them bad .been made prisoners. The idea prevailed that the United States serious ly contemplated a war in favor of the repub lic of 3Iexico and were making preparations for it. They had produced a certain effect upon the Cabinet, and the abandonment of Muximilian’if projected journey to Yucatan, was supposed to have been determined by ap- pr.jhensions in this regard. A war with tlie United States lias been the subject of an exciting discussion in the Cabi- nent and in the council of State, wbicli meets now almost every day. A resolution is said to have been adopted by both bodies to the effect that, in view of tlie demonstration made by federal soldiers and their generals on the Rio Gframie, it was not too soon to take tlie necessary measures of precaution for the de fence of the empire against foreign aggres sion. This resolution had, however, been antic ipated by Jlarelial Bazaine, a man who has always looked forward to the possibility of intervention on tlie part of the United States, and who lias, in consequence, prepared him self for such an emergency. By his order several important positions have been forti fied, and some arc at present being supplied with men, guns and ammunition. It is reported in social circles in 3Iexico city that Madame de Iturbide, daughter of the old emperor and mother of tlie youth whom 3Iaximilian has recently adopted as the heir to the throne of 3Iexico, has re ceived the munificent sum of thirty thou sand dollars in gold, in addition to a liberal pension by order of 3Iaximilian. XJie Emperor 3Iaximilian lias been noti fied, it is said, by* an autograph letter from the emperor of France, that his policy was not sufficiently practical and energetic, and suggesting that, although it was desirable to appear to be as good a Mexican as possible, and govern with Mexican elements according to Mexican customs, lie ought not to sacrifice the interests of Mexico to tliat feeling; in short, that he ought to place himself above parties and rule exclusively in view of the progress and advancement of Mexico. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. FROM MILLEDGEVILLE. [special to the telegraph.] Mii.ledoeville. Dec. 4.—Both houses of the Legislature organized to-day. In the Senate, Uon. Wm. Gibeor. was elect ed President, and Colonel John B. Weems, of Wilkes county, Secretary. In tlie Honse, Hon. Thomas Hardeman, of Bibb, was chosen Speaker, and J. D. Wad- dcll, Clerk. The message of Gov. Johnson has not been read. * A. E. M. Shocking Death ofa Tight Rope Performer. From the Wilmington Herald, of the 2Cth ult, wc extract the following account of the tragic ending of a perilous life: Yesterday afternoon, about half past two o'clock, the Wilmington Theatre was the scene of one of the most licart-rendcr- ing catastrophes we have ever been called on to chronicle. A matinee was advertised to lie held at the Theatre at two o’clock, P. 31., the performance to consist of Ethiopian 3Iinstrelsy by Charlie 'White's Iron-Clad Ope ra Troupe, ami feats on the tight-ropc, by Mr. Delane, whose real name was Thomas N. Huntley. The rope extended from the stage to the centre gallery, forming a steep ascent that it appeared almost imposible to walk. At the appointed time, however, 3Ir. Hunt- ley made 111s appearance, with the heavy balance pole used on such occasions, and commenced liis feat. He walked with great ease and success in the ascent, reaching the gallery amid the rapturous applause of the audience, in a few moments he returned to descend to the stage, but after taking a few steps he lost liis foothold and feU, but suc ceeded in gaining the gallery. Apparently becoming mortified at Ins partial failure, be remounted and attempted to descend to the stage backwards: but after proceeding a few feet from the gallery he again lost his bal ance, and then commenced a painful and thrilling struggle for life. Finding that lie would probably fall from the rope, he threw his balance pole into tbc dress circle, and, it is supposed, made an effort to spring into it himself. He merely, however, touched it with his feet, and'was precipitated, head downwards into the parqueUe below, the left side of the head striking the corner of one of the scats, frightfully crushing the skull, and producing almost instant death. We examined the body after the occurence, and it' appeared that all the internal portion of the head hud been forced into the right temple. The lower part of the face present ed a natural appearance, but 'tlie bead was horribly disfigured. Th<j deceased was a native of Nasliville, Tcnu., where he leaves a widowed mother, but has latterly been a resident of Richmond, Va. He was aged between nineteen and twenty years. He was a man of splendid phytique, nnd but for his untimely death’, would, doubtless, have attained a high posi tion in his profession. He had performed but once before in public, nnd it is thought that the comparative novelty of the perform ance deprived him of that degree of coolness and composure so necessary in the execution of so dangerous a feat. > PBOSPECTFS. THE M AC0 N TELEGR APH. 1ST eNv' Series. 1 The Macon TeleynpK having passed into new an da. the present proprietors havo thou'lit proper to issuo this Troepectus, to which tliev write the attention of the Jiublie. The editorial column* of the Telegraph will be under, the control of J. A. Sneed, Esq., and Sami. BtgUn ; Mr. lim. A.Bad, Business Manager, In addition, able and truthful correspondents will be employed in most of the leading cities of the Union,and at the Federal and State capitals, during the sessions of Congress and the Legisla ture. Several of the best political anil literary writers of the South have been engaged,and will furnish the readers of The Telegraph with regular contributions. Among these we are pleased to announce the name of “P. W. A.” whose able and interesting correspondence, in the Savannah Bcpnhliean, during the late war, was so univer sally read and admired. Political Character. In Politic*, The Telegraph will maintain a man ly and bona JUt acquiescence in all the legitimate consequences of thewar, with the right, howev er—one never dcnqtipeven to criminals—to pro test against injustice and unnecessary hardship. Regarding the restoration of Georgia to her former position in the Union, as of vital import ance to all her interests, it will promptly sup port all constitutional requirements, on the part of tlie Administration at Washington, looking to that end; and when perfect peace is restored, its best efforts will be given for a revival of the bet ter days of the Republic. Holding that protection and loyalty—kind ;uardiauship and filial love—are reciprocal du ties in national affairs; end that there can lie no real existence of the latter without the former, our support and affection for the Federal Gov ernment shall keep even pace with its regard for the Rights of the People. Leading Feature. The leading feature in The Telegraph will be its devotion to the rights, interests and feelings of Georgia and her stricken sister States: we would lift them up from the valley of humiliation, ex hort them to a forgetfulness of the Past, except its glories, end nerve their arms for the arduous struggles of the future. Commercial Department. The Commercial Department of TAc Telegraph will receive special attention. Daily reports will ho given of all the leading markets of the Union, together with a fiiU’wcekly review of the local market; while, on tho arrival of every steamer, European political and commercial accounts will be given. In this respect we hope to offer such advantages as will make The Telegraph an indis pensable visitor to tho counting room of every merchant and tradesman. Education, Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts will be fostered as the true sources of all Nation' al and individual prosperity. A Journal for the Family. The Telegraph will be eminently a Contcrtative Journal. Nothing immoral or otherwise perni cious will be admitted to its columns; whilst its daily contents will besodeversified asdo make it a welcome and useful visitor in every household.

WM. A REID A CO. Macon, Go., gee. 5th, 1865-tf A Homiible Case.—There lies, in a dilapi dated outhouse, on Shelby street, tbe fester ing corpse of a negro 170111311. Six days ago slie died. Tbe disease that proved fatal is too 1 oathsomc to be named. Maddened by excruciating tortures, tho miserable woman, ten days ago, bad tom from lier rotting body the last rag that concealed her hideous na kedness. The stencil that arose from the filthy hovel, in which she lingered on in soli tude, had become insufferable, Tong before death perfumed tbe air with carrion stench. People living hard by, sent food to the star ving, wretched, abandoned licgrcss; but ser vants ate it, and dreaded approach to the dying, cursing, maddened woman. Death was the kindest friend she ever knew. There she lies, even yet, and death is the only watch er that bends over tbe polluted form. No prayers wye uttered for her departed soul, no tears'sned when agonies of dissolution racked her contorted frame. Her eye-balls burst from their sockets. Her tongue was severed by her gnashing teeth, ncr features, all distorted, and body wrenched, she died more horribly, if present appearance^ attest her anguish, than any victim of inquisition. In solitude she died. For days no human being had entered tliat wretched abode of penury, ignorance and sin. And there lies the festering, recking corpse, polluting tlie air of and sickening, as this recital, to every passer-by. Tlie Freedmen’s Bureau declares it no part of its duty to remove the corpse. 3Iunicipal authorities assert that the unhappy negress was a protege of the bureau, brought hither under the operation of its system. The corpse rots ou, while the discussion progress es, and if it should last a few more days, the negress’ body will have passed to the lung of the denizens of South Memphis. She wil thus have found a living grave.—Memphi* Bulletin. GENERAL INTELIGENCE. Tlie Washington correspondent of the Bos ton Times reiterates his assertion, on “ high authority,” to the effect that Secretary Seward has officially taken a very strong position in support of the Monroe doctrine, as against the French plan in Mexico. „ We have advices from the river Platte, da ted at Buenos Ayres on the lltli and Rio Ja neiro on the 24th of October. The Paraguay an army sustained another defeat, their levies in Corricntes being badly cut up by an Ar gentine cavalry corps. They were again beaten and routed near Luis Gomes. In their retreat they burned thirty villages, by way of revenge. The Brazilian army in the province of Rio Grande had been. largely reinforced. The fleet of Brazil remained inactive. Tbe United States war vessels Hartford, Jnniata, Wasp and Susquehanna were at Rio Janeiro. Brigadier General Charles Ewing, of the United States Volunteers, lately in command of a brigade in Sherman's army, has resigned his commission in the volunteer service, and gone upon duty as captain and brevet colonel in the regular armv. Fobtcxes to be Made in Cotton Rais ing.—The New Orleans Picayune has an ar ticle setting forth the great profits of the cotton culture, and stating tliat the great planters arc now so impoverished that they will sell or lease their plantations on favora ble terms, and that there are chances for men with enterprise and capital to make rapid fortunes in the business. The Picayune pro ceeds to say: The prospects of the organization of our labor are now good. Tlie freedmen will soon lie placed between tlie alternative of starvation or labor. The planters can afford to give them wages for good labor. The present high prices of our saplcs will justi fy liberal wages. Capital can Cud no better, no more profitable employment than raising sugar or cotton at present prices, either on a large or small scale. Ten bales of cotton are now worth at least $2,500, and likely to be worth as much this time next year. Al most any able-bodied man can raise and pick ten bales of cotton on our rich alulvial soils. We know of one man and his wife and little boy, not one hundred miles from this city, who made $4,000 in 1804, off ten acres of ground in cotton, in spite of the worms, which were very distructivc that season. In all that magnificent stretch of alluvion, north of Red river, which in 1859 . -and I860 produced in four parishes 234,000 bales of cotton, ten bales to the acre is the average crop. There cotton grows so luxu riantly, and ripens so richly that the great struggle fa to gather it. Railboad.—'We' Rome Courier that Daniel ?.
