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. mm TUB GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

He was opposed to 80 large a pay and should vote against it. Mr. Stbozieb, of the 10th District, opposed the substitute. He thought the laborer worthy of his hire. The sum mentioned in the resolu tion was not too large, if put on a gold basis. Mr. Redding, of the 25th District, fa vored the substitute. In the present state of the’finances of the State the smallest snm that would pay the necessary expenses of mem bers, was all that ought to be asked. Mr. Owens thought it was asking too much to pay members $9 per day, when there was scarcely a dollar in the treasury of the 3Ir. Thornton offered the following, \vbich was accepted in lieu of the substitute, and adopted: Beeolced, That the Treasurer of the State be authorized to advance to each member of election of receiver* at tax returns and col lectors ia this State, to prescribe the mode bj which they shall give bonds, and the diode in which the office of reqriver of tax returns may be declared vacant.

This comply is about building a branch railroad from Lawrence to Leaven worth, and expect to -have their main Hne completed to Fort Riley, one hundred and thirty-six miles from Wyandotte, by July next.

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.

He adds that the dog first became known in China about the time of the siege of Troy. Victor Hugo’s new volume of poems has a _ odigioussuccess; the first edition was clear ed off by the first demand, and it is now at the fourth, if not the fifth.

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. 3Ir.

[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.
