tli n»aitd eight UmriMri and sixty-five, nnd of

labor. The climate of Georgia is propitious
to the-formatioB Of the best types of male and
female character. We are not subject to the
lassitude and feebleness of the Line, nor to
repression and ! limitations of higher lsti
fades.
That vivacity of intellect and sensibility of-
heart and energy of purpose, which are the
elements of greatness, belong to onr climate
and race, and will belong to them through
all .time,, unless crushed out by the paralysis
Of anarchy or despotism. And at our fire
sides, before onr altars, on the wayside, in as
semblies of the gay, and in the house of mourn
ing, in walks of literature and in halls of ed
ucation, at the bridal and at the tomb, are
seen the Southern women, still gentle—brave
—refined and beautiful. We may not boast,
but we have a right to say wherein onr bless
ings eoaeUt, end to given reason for our thank
fulness.
The spirit of the people ienot broken—de
pressed it is certainly—but not broken. Thera
is among ns the spirit of the olden time. It
is not meant a spirit of political resistance to
the government of the Union—the spirit
which inaugurated and sustained the revolu
tion; but the spirit of agricultnreal, commer
cial pnd social enterprise, self-reliance, endu
rance and persistence. That spirit which
prompts to a gallant fight, and when van
quished concedes the prowess of the con
queror—which accepts the conditions of sub
jugation nnd will abide the promise of their
fulfillment, though the heart may break.—
Magnanimity—thaspirit of a great mind is
not extinct. We retain the characteristics of
our lineage. The people of Georgia, in mak
ing her the Empire State of the Sonth, have
demonstrated that they arc both practical and
enterprising. These qualities will developc
in the present state of our affairs. We will
yet fight heroically the battle of life, and no
doubt will survive the disasters of the times.
Inheritors of the soil and climate and the
good repute of our ancestors, tve-hopc to be
artificers of Georgia’s future greatness and ru
lers of her destinies.
Again there is still with us the memory of
tiic heroic dead, and love and reverence for
the gallant living—the former victims, the
latter survivors of the war. The loss of our
dear ones is a deep anguish, soothed by the
reflection that they died in what we esteem a
righteous cause.
Family life—onr hallowed homes with their
endearments, repose and security—the basis of
all good government, our dilapidated lint
reviving schools and colleges, our holy reli
gion unperverted by philosophic pride of in
tellect, onr open churches, exemption from
guerrilla violence, the clemency of the fed
eral Administration, a fair yield of the pro
vision crop for this year in parts of the State,
and freedom from foreign wars—all—all in-
voko the spirit of thanksgiving, and demand
that we "make-confession of our national
sins against God’s infinite goodness, and with
one heart and one mind implore the Divine
guidance in the ways of national virtue and
holiness.’’

The journal of the preceding day was read

Mr. Waddell, Clerk of the House, having
brought in a resolution to inform the Provis

Mr. McDaniel offered the following:
Whereas, the Congress of the United States
has, under the 5th article of the Constitution
of the United States, proposed an amend

Therefore le it Resolved, by the Senate

C'oHi-titution of the United States be, and

1!< ii further Rmleed, That in ratifying the

of the United States has the power only to
make permanent the emancipation of slaves,
and that all rights of citizenship can be con

such we understand and believe to have been
the object contemplated in the second section

HOUSE OF REPRESENT ATI YES
December 5th.
This morning, after the usual preliminaries,
and the transaction of some unimportant bus
iness, Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield called up liis
resolution ratifying the constitutional amend
ment, prohibiting slaverydntlie United States*
which, after various motions to refer to com
mittees, was laid, temporarily, on the table, |
subject to the call of the mover.
Mr. Howard of Bartow offered a preamble]
and resolution calling for the appointment of
three commissioners, who, with two other
commissioners to be appointed by the Senate,
should proceed to Washington and confer
with the President, ascertain what further
legislation was required in order to admit the
State of Georgia to her position in the Union,
and report the result of their mission at as
early a day as possible. The mover maintain
ed that such a commission was nccccssary in
the present juncture of affairs. It was known
that the Governor elect was not to be inaugu
rated, and that certificates of election were
not to bo granted to ourReprcscntatives elect.
It was incompetent to legislate without the
co-operation of the constitutional executive
of the State, and whatever action the Legis
lature might take to conform to the require
ments of the Federal Government would be
invalid.
A motion to suspend the rules, in order tol
[take up the resolution, was lost.
A message was received through the Sec
rebury of the Senate announcing that that
body had concurred in the resolution of the
house appointing a committee to inform the
provisional governor of the organization of
the General Assembly, and its readiness to
receive any communication he might desire
to make.
Mr, Ridley, of Troupe, offered the follow
ing preamble and resolution :
Whereas, the Congress of the United. States
has, under the 5th article of the Constitution
of the United States, proposed an amend
ment to the said Constitution in the follow
ing words, to-wit: “Neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except as a punishment,
for crime whereof the party shall have been
duly convicted, shall exist within the United
States or any place subject to heir jurisdic
tion.
Sec. 2.—Congress shall have power to en
force this article by proper legislation, which
amendment was Approved on the 1st of Feb
ruary, 1865. £
Therefore, he it resolved, by the Senate and
Home of Representative$ in General Assembly
met. That the said amendment to the Consti
tution be, and the same is hereby, ratified and
adopted.
lie it further resolied, That in ratifying the
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States, wfi do so believing that the Congress
of the United States has the power only to
make permanent the emancipation of slaves,
and that all rights of citizenship can be con
ferred only by the States respectively; and
such we understand and believe to have been
five object contemplated in the 2d section of
said amendment, and that nothing therein
contained authorized Congress to interfere
with tlie internal affairs of the States.
Mr. Ridley moved the suspension of the
rules in order to take up the resolution, and
urged the importance of immediate action
upon.
Mr. Pottle agreed with the mover as to
the necessity and importanceof passing the
resolution, but he desire to act with de
liberation and would prefer that it would be
referred to a committee of the House. We
had never been officially informed that the
amendment of the Constitution had passed
both blanches of the U. S. Congress, nor
was it certain that the resolution could be
ratified by resolution. In the opinion of
some, it would ha veto be done- by bill.
The motion being put to suspend the rules,
it was lost by the sound, when Mr. Ridley
called for a division. -
Fending the motion for a division, the
committee appointed to wait on the Provis
ional Governor, reported that they had per
formed that duty, and that the Governor
would make a communication immediately.
The secretary of the Governor, in a minute,
announced the message from his Excellency,
which was immediately read, and 500 copies
ordered to be printed for the use of the
House.
Mr. Ridley renewed hi* motion for attivi-
sion, on the question to suspend the rules in
order to take up his resolution, and a spir
ited debate ensued between that gentleman
and Mr. Pottle. Mr. Ridley contended that
it was of the utmost importance that the
Legislature should act at once. Oar Gover
nor elect was here, bht could not be inaugu
rated, and enter upon his official dnties; and
if he (the speaker) understood the Constitu
tion of the State, we could not legislate le
gally without the co-operation of a constitu
tionally elected Governor. There was no
good reason for delay in this matter.
minds of members and of the people were
made up to the necessity of ratifying the
constitutional amendment, as indispensable
to our admission into the Union, and the re-
establisment of civil government. In adopP
ing the resolution promptly, he felt that
A motion was then made to refer the reso
lution to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. Ridley opposed reference to any com- j
mitter. There was no escape. It was no '■
time to cavil about forms. We were obliged
to'submit to the dictation of the powers that
be, and however distasteful this might be,
the sooner the better.
A communication was received from the
Senate, announcing that the Provisional Gov-
ernor Lad transmittal to that body the re
turns of tl>e Governor’s election.
Speaker Hardeman, calling a member to
the chair, took ihe ' floor, and addressed the
House for several minutes in opposition to
the motion to refer. He was m favor of
prompt and willing action. It was the duty
of members, without cavilling, without find-
ing fault with what they could not help, to
do what was necessary to sustain the Presi
dent, who was doing all in his power to re
lieve us of our present difficulties, and to
place us once more in the enjoyment of our
civil rights and privileges. Tlie proposed
measure of ratification is an indispensable
prerequisite to the rc-establishnwnt of amica
ble relations with the government. In God’s
name, then, let us not hesitate to perform a
duty demanded by the best interests of our
State and people.
After sonu? further' remarks from Mr. Pot
tle, the previous question was moved and sus
tained, which put an end to the debate, and
the House adjourned to three o’clock, P. M.

WISE.
AFTERSOON SESSION.
On the reassembling of the House, Mr. Gar
TRELL of Cobb, moved to divide the question
in Mr. Ridley’s ratification resolution. The
House first to vote on the resolution ratifying
the amendment of the Constitution, and then
upon the second resolution giving a construe
tion of the intent and meaning of the 2nd
section of tlie amendment.
The motion to divide having been adopted,
the vote was taken upon the 1st resolution
which was adopted with only one or two dis
tenting votes.
Mr. Dorset, of Hall, then moved to
strike out the 2nd resolution. He was op
posed to legislation upon tho construction of
constitutional provisions. Such legislation
amounted to nothing. The construction of
the amendment would be determined by fu
ture Congresses of the United States, and the
Supreme court, neither of which would be in
fluenced by the declared construction of this
body. A declaration of any particular construc
tion by thisgeneralassembly, while itmightin
volveus in future difficulties—asintheenseof
Virginia resolutions of the construction of tlie
Constitution on the formation of the Union,
front which sprung the Southern doctrine of
secession nnd which were the original cause of
all our present troubles—would exert no influ
ence on the action of future Congresses of the
United States. It was our policy to keep our
selves untrammclcd. “Sufficient undo the
day is the evil thereof.” lip hoped, therefore,
that tlie 2nd resolution might be stricken out.
The motion to strike out, on being put to
vote, was carried, when the original resolution
aj amended was adopted by an almost unani
mous vote, and transmitted to the Senate.
Mr. Kirby, of Chattooga, offered the fol
lowing :
Resolved, That the Speaker appoint %eem-
mittec of ten on Freedmcn’s affairs, Mte
duty it shall l>e to confer with a like
mittee already authorized by the Senate—

ators entered the Hall of the House when the

Mr. Editor : My heart has been cheered
nnd hope revived by the appearance of an
article, a day or two ago, full of lively inter
est and strong appeals in behalf of an institu
tion the responsibilities of which I anxiously
sought as a means of benefitting, in an hum-
ble way, the orphans of my fallen country
men, and also to gratify a desire for this kind
ofjabor. [I have toiled and struggled on for
nearly six months, making every sacrifice I
could so as not to tax. too heavily the few
friends God had raised up for this cause.—
And with all my toils, anxieties and sacrifi
ces. I find myself daily growing more attach
ed to my work. It adds to my spiritual hap
piness, and serves, I hope, to make me more
humble. Who could sit in the midst of
twenty or thirty helpless, destitute, fatherless
children—some without shoes, some half clad,
and others with nothing but bread to satisfy
the cravings of nature—without havingjheir
hearts kept tender! And I do not t I
have a beggar in my. school. 1 The lady who
wrote the article above alluded to, and who
is so kindly enlisted, perhaps has but ret
cently learned of this institution, and many
others may gladly lend a helping hand, who,
perhaps have not heard of it before.
May we not have a Christmas Tree, loaded
with tokens of the humane and benevolent
regards of our citizens for this class of suffer
ers, whom God ha3 reminded us to care for?
Articles for ornament or use, for the Tree,
or clothing for the children, may be sent to
my house. Any one wishing to make a gar
ment, can get tho measure of the child most
needing it, by sending to me, next door to
Coi Washington’s residence on Poplar street
I give it up-to God, believing He will use
you as instruments to advance His own cause.
