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.’’ TOE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

Brooke, Paster of the Baptist Church of the city. ^ The journal of the preceding day was read and approved. Mr. Waddell, Clerk of the House, having brought in a resolution to inform the Provis ional Governor, that both houses of the Leg. ielature were organized, and would be pleased to receive any communication which lie might have to make, on motion of Mr. Red- mxo the same was adopted, ■ Scats on the floor were tendered to Hon. A. II. Stephens, the Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, Hon. L. J. Gartrell, non. H. A. Warner and ex-Gor. J.' E. Brown. 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 ment of said Constitution, in the words fol lowing, to-wit; “Neither slavery, nor invol untary servitude, except as a punishment for . rime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, sltall exist within the United St;it,-* or anyplace subject to their jurisdic tion. Sec. 2. Congress shall have power to en force this article by properlrgislation,” which amendment was improved on the 1st ol Feb. 1805. Therefore le it Resolved, by the Senate o r.■!

The resolution lies over under tlie rules till to-morrow. Mr. J. F. Johnson- introduced a bill for the relief of II. J. Sprayltorry. On motion of Mr. Redding, an additional committee was added to tlie list of standing committees, to be called the Committee on Frcedmen. 1 The message of the Provisional Governor I was sent in to the Senate and read. | On motion of Mr. Renan. 150 copies were ordered to be printed for the use of the Sen. j ate. .->• . H mJO-j - i: • A message was received from the Provis ional Gov 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. e 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— pdopted. < - Pursuant to previous notification the Sen ators entered the Hall of the House when the officers of. both houses proceeded to count the votes given at the recent election for gov ernor, which were announced ns follows: 4 Hon.

The Orphan School. 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.
