We learn that Hon. James Johnson and
ITon. Joshua Hill are 'prominent candidates
for Senators from the Stole of Georgia, agd
that (here is a ShpoStioa on Hie part of tin
General Assembly tokelnct them tar this high
WbiM, aa a general rale, we prefer not to
fkror (be election of any particular person to
j. -llion aooght from the Legislature, believ
ing (hat the wisdom of that body ia sufficient
to gnMe it without suggestions from any
Mill we cannot refrain from expressing oar'
approval of the election of the above "•——I
gentlemen. In selecting members to the
lower booa^ of Congress, oar people have
wu upright grallimaa and honored, gal
lant soldiers, ks well as gSod citizens, and
given a (air. share of the representation to
that portion of the citizens who were fan
Me to accession. Now, in this day of oar
misfortunes, when- all good citizens wish to
forget the past in oar efforts to restore a feel
ing of fraternity and harmony to oar land, it
would appear a most fit and proper time to
choose as the representatives of oar State in
thc_Senate the gentlemen named above.—
They are eminently fit for the position, ami
by their abilities, patriotism and eloquence,
will worthily represent our State, and we are
confident they will ever be true to Georgia's
interest They arc representatives of that
clam who, in the beginning-* of the war,
deemed hasty State* action on oar part im
politic, and we believe their election will not
only gratify those who entertained similar
sentiments here, but will tend greatly to in
crease the kindly feeling of the North to ns,
and soften any asperity the President may
entertain towards our State.
The above, written tome days since, was
allowed to be crowded ont by Legislative
Proceedings and by a press of other matter,
because we thought the Legislature would
take a recess before going into an election for
Senator*.
But the telegram of the President insures
the speedy inauguration of Mr. Jenkins, in
which case we suppose the Legislature will
continue in session, and soon go into an elec
tion of Senators; and we do not believe two
more acceptable names could be suggested
to them for the honor of a teat in the Senate
of the United States..
Got- Jenkins and Gov. Walker.
The telegram of President Johnson to the
Governor of Georgia, published in our report
of the legislative proceedings, signifies the
immediate inauguration of Gov. Jenkins.—
Indeed, his inauguration takes place to-day,
and his inaugural is already written and will
appear in onr columns in due time. This ac
tion of President Johnson betokens kindli
ness and thoughtfulness, and evinces a deter
mination, on his part, to hasten the establish
ment of civil governments in the Southern
States, and it manifests a friendliness, not
unexpected, but gratifying.
From a source enjoying the highest relia
bility, we learn that the real sentiments of
the President towards the South arc friendly
in a high degree; and the reason is, that he
lias been more correctly informed of the state
of the Southern feeling than his Northern
radical advisers—has learned its acquiescence,
its want of great bitterness, the general desire
for peace and harmony, and its willingness^
in general, to conform to his wishes. And
when he telegraphs that Mr. Jenkins may be
inaugurated, it means that he is willing to
trust, as he may well do, the legislation of
Georgia, and desires her once more to occupy
her scat in the nation's great council chnm-
This decision on the part of the President,
will sustain Governor Marvin of F-' or * , * n .
who, on liis own responsibility wity on Mon
day next, induct into the gub<»natorinl office
of Florida, his legally elected successor, the
lion. David Walker. This fact we learn
from unquestionable authority.
Governor Marvin, well acquainted with
President Johson's views and, in intimate ro
tations of friendship with him, has decided
that, as Florida through her convention and
legislature has complied with all the rc-
qnircpients of the administration, further
consultation with President Johnson concern
ing the establislimcn^of tbe permanent State
government of the Stfte is superfluous; He,
therefore will Inaugurate his successor.

Mr. Stbozieb, of the 10th District, opposed
the substitute. He thought the laborer worthy
of his hire. The sum mentioned in the resolu

Mr. Redding, of the 25th District, fa
vored the substitute. In the present state of

A CIRCULAR.
The Secretary of War has addressed a cir
cular to each member of Congress, calling
attention to the fact that he lias tlie privilege
cf nominating from his CongressionalTIhtrict
two persons as applicants for the position of
first and second lieutenants in the regular
eating in France, has published an appeal to
the public, praying them to cat horse now
more than ever. Many do it every day with
out knowing it—in consequence of the pre
vailing epidemic among horned cattle.
In the Pantchatanra, and other early eas
tern fables, the dog of the western fabulists is
always represented by the jackal. M. Quatcr-
fages has presented to the French Academy
a carious memoir on the canine race, in which
he declares that dogs are nothing else but re
claimed jackals. He adds that the dog first
became known in China about the time of the
siege of Troy.

nuest>' dS orer wliiclz tbe people of the Uni-
/rates have, for four years past, been wa-
the most fearful interncine strife known
to mohem history, will permit himself to mis
understand the practical effect, if not the de
liberately intended result of the action just
taken by the Republican maj ority in the House
of Representatives in regard to the restora
tion of the Southern States to their normal
and proper place in the legislation of the
country.
That action is neither more nor less than
a Congressional declaration that the civil war
has not been brought to an end by tlie cessa
tion of armed resistance to the federal author
ity. No man will pretend that in any part
of tbe vast territory so recently bristling with
hostile armaments contending against the
nation’s life, there remains to-day the shadow
of armed opposition to the legally expressed
will of the government of the United States
as by law and tlie Constitution established.
The Southern people, after maintaining for
four years a front of war against the whole
power of the Union, after undergoing priva
tions, enduring sufferings, and making exer
tions which have justly challenged the admi
ration, even where they failed of command
ing the sympathies, of mankind, have accept
ed,with an unexampled good sense and. good
faith, the final arbitrament of the dread court
into which they had so rashly carried their
last political appeal. From the first hour of
the conflict thus provoked, it has been pro
claimed to the world, by tbe people and by
the government of the Union, that our sole
and only object in prosecuting the tremend
ous ordeal to tbe bitter end was the restora
tion of the Constitution as our lathers left it
. to US. to its logitimsC* o-rrny tHrwugllOUt tilO
land.
Victory at last is ours: victory purchased
by a priceless outpouring of patriotic blood,
by an unstinted expenditure of the national
treasure. But with victory Peace is not to
come to us; with victory the reconstruction
of our noble and symmetrical fabric of nation
al existence is not to come to us.
A Congressional majority have decided that
tbe avowed were not tbe real objects of the
war; that the States which went ont from us
States, peopled by free and equal citizens of
a lawful Union, come back to us an American
Poland, an American Ireland, to be ruled by
the capricious will of accidental majorities, to
be held by the strong arm, to be coerced and
moulded, both socially and politically, into
' such a form and pressure as the theories of
Republican politicians and the passions of a
Radical multitude shall suggest. VTe do not
say that this decision threatens ns with 4 a re
newal of the terrible scenes of bloodshed and
destruction which have so long wearied and
shocked the civilization of Christendom. Tbe
ower of tbe Southern States for war is
iroken. They are prostrate at our feet, to be
dealt with as their conquerors shall decide.
But there is a state of peace of which it
has been well and truly said that it is more
disastrous than war itself. And such is the
ieacc which the Radical majority in Congress
ave now proclaimed; such is the peace for
which, in a hideous mockery of the sacred
words we shall that day use, we are called
upon to give thanks to the God of Justice and
of Love on the nation’s great Thanksgiving
Day, now so near at hand. Let no man de
ceive himself. The peace we had believed
in, hoped for, struggled for—the peace wc
liad so fondly dreamed was won, recedes
fronflis afresh into a darkening vista of sec
tional passions tenfold embittered, into a
tenfold heated furnace of sectional wrongs
triumphantly inflicted and sectional tyranny
to bo remorselessly enforced. The reunited
nation is to enter upon its new career with
all its wounds tom open afresh; it is to be
paralyzed alike for the re-establishment of
its shattered industricr at home, and. for tbe
assertion of its endangered or insulted honor
abroad. And this beneath the banner of a
so-called philanthropy—this is tho behest of
a party of “great moral ideas."—B. T. New.

[Special Dispatch to the Louisville Courier.]
Washington, Dec. 8.
Although a large number of Senators and
members of Congress have gone home to cel
ebrate “Thanksgiving,” many of the most
radical of both Houses haVc remained here
to lay their plans for the future mana^eni<rnt
of party matters. The turn ^ of affiurs has
occasioned much trouble. It is now evident
that the caucus resolution will be sapped m
the Senate. There arc also sign* of insubor
dination in the Republican ranks. The una
nimity which was apparent & week ago-was
delusive. The radical leaders are bothered
to know what step? to take to save the party
from dissolution without an abandonment oi
toe main feafirea of their pet programme;
tiiev begin to fear that the majority of the
Republicans in Congress cannot be draj
m> to the support of universal negro sum
and the extension of territorial government
over tbe South. Even the recent outrageous
decision of Judge Advocate General Holt,
denying any authority in the Executive
branch of the Government to compensate >
loval citizens of Southern States for damage
inflicted by our armies, and for supplies lur-
nished to them, finds little fayor. The Rad
ical machine has beeu run to ita utmost
capacity, and there is danger that another
revolution of tbe crank will cause a fearful
explosion. The democrats and conservative s
are daily awaiting the result of the private
caucus held daily by Stevens, Sumner, Wil
son, & Co., confident that they are at tlieir
