It seem- to be the opinion of that I truly tliat its btuine«s is to “regulate” affairs in particular Stntes. rather tlian to provide for the general we lfare.

Dr. Baird reported, os chairman of the committee, a name selected from many pro posed—Tiie General Assembly of the Presby terian Church in the United States. Others proposed, The Reformed Presbyte rian Church, The Free Presbyterian, The Constitutional Chnrch. Dr. Ross very strenuously urged os a name The Presbyterian Church South. He wanted something very distinctive,- and oar people would love their Church better than ever. Mr. John Miller, of Vo., with his usual flu ency and adroitness, met his opponents very successfully and seemed for awhile likely to carry his point in favor of the name General Assembly of Presbyteries in the United States. Tiie venerable Dr. Smythe, of Charleston, with all his native vigor of expression, urged several names with excellent grounds; per suading you to agree with him successively that each one was the best, until at lost he himself voted for the one recommcndecl by the committee. So the matter was decided by a large majority, afterwards made unani mous, and now stands, “Tiie Presbyterian General Assembly in the United States.’ The Assembly heard several reports and overtures.

At 7 1-2 p. in., the Assembly met again and went into the selection of the next place of meeting.

XXXIXTH CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION SENATE. ■Wasiukoton, Dec. 13. Mr. Foster, President pro tcm., in the chair. Mr. Stewart submitted a joint resolution embracing the following articles to he pro posed as amendments of tho Constitution of the United States: 1st The union of tho States under this Constitution is indissolnble,'and no State can absolve its citizens from the obligation of par amount allegiance to the United States. 2d. No engagement made or obligation in curred by any State, or by any number of States, or by any county, city, or other muni cipal corporation to subvert, impair or resist the authority of the United States, or to sup port or aid any legislature, convention, or body in hostility to such authority, shall ev er 1 -e held valid, or be assumed or sustained in whole or in part by any States or by the TUnited Stntes. The resolution was referred to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Wilson called np a hill to maintain the freedmen of the inhabitants of the States de clared to be in.insurrection and rebellion by the proclamation of the president of July 1st, 1SC2. It declares all laws heretofore in'force or held as valid in the insurrectionary States, .whereby any inequality of the civfls rights and immunities among the inhabitants * these States on account of race or color, made null and void. Mr. Wilson explained the nature of the Uilir - He said the proclama tion of<hc president of the 22dpf September. 1SC3, declaring emancipation, pledges the faith of the government of the United States to maintain the freedom of the persons de clared to he free. This was repeated in the proclamation of 1st of January. It was there fore the duty of the government to maintain the civil rights of freedmen. The most cold blooded atrocities were being perpetrated upon these freedmen, and it was the duty of congress to interfere. Whatever difference of opinion there might be on the subject of ne- — „.,<r , they ought to be now in dntv Mr. Cowan did not believe the bill would accomplish what its author desired, and thought an amendment to the constitution was the only way to reach the matter, and he believed such an amendment would pass congress within a month. Mr. Wilson referred to certain cases passed Southern States since the abolition of sla- veiy, which he said subjected the freedmen to a worse bondage than slavery itself. The condition of the lrecdmen of the South was worse to-day than it was on the day of Lee's surrender. ’ Mr. Sherman sympathized with the objects of the bill. He believed it to he the duty of Congress to secure freedom to emancipated slaves, bat he believed such legislation ought to be postponed until a proclamation is issued announcing the adoption of the Constitution Amendment by the requisite number of States. Congress had the power, he said, to mako a provision for the freedom of the blacks, and uherc was another section of the Constitution under wiFCh it could be done—that section which gives to the citizens of one State all the rights of the citizens of the several States. The bill before the senate did not define the civil rights which the negroes ought to have, but stated them in general terms. In hi* judgment congress ought to impose the con- ditionsupon which the Southern States should be received back into the Union, and they ought to be in the form of amendments to the Constitution. Action on the bill before the senate ought to be deferred until the report «-f the committee of fifteen, provided forty the concurrent resolution passed yesterday. From Washington. New Yore, Dec, 13.—The Timm' Washing ton special says: Commodore Hall has been relieved from command of the Philadelphia navy yard; Comodore E. Elfridge succeeded. The BerahVt Washington special says: Gen. Grant had an interview with the Presi dent yesterday, and communicated to him the result of his observations daring his recent trip through Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. He was everywhere respectfully received by all. The majority of the negros in these States are in comparative idleness, and. nearly all refuse to renew their contracts until after Christmas, believing a general division of property is to take place at that time. The Southern men of influence were out spoken in favor of complying with any de mands the President might consider necessary for their restoration. Gen. Grant believes that the people of the South almost unanimously desire a speedy re-admission to their old position in the Un ion, and that their professions of future loy alty and good behavior are honest and sin cere. It is proposed to fix the name of Lincoln to some of the Western Territories. Butler proposes so write Gen. Grant's his tory from or beforc'the time he entered West Point to the Licutenant-Generalcy. The Times’ Washington special says:— Considerable surprise is manifested here at the receipt of a letter from Gov. Picrpoint of Virginia, addressed to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House, inclos ing a copy of an act passed by the General Assembly of Virginia repealing the assent heretofore given to the division of that State by the formation of the State of West Vir ginia. The letter was printed and laid upon the desks of members to-day, and attracted much comment. The World’s Washington special says that Gen. Logan has finally declined the mission to Mexico. It is said that the Emperor Napoleon short time since addressed a letter direct to tho Secretary of State, asking for the re cognition by the United States of Maximil ian’s Government as a government de facto. The ground upon which he based his request was, that it had maintained itself for near! two years, and was therefore entitled to sue! recognition. It is said the secretary of state has replied to the note, and that he emphatically declines to accede to the request, and gives at length the reasons thereof. He denies that it is a government He facto; that the whole people of the United States are pledged against any such recognition if there was any ground for it, which there is not; that from tuOiest information obtainable from that disl country the liberal party have not yielded obedience, and do not intend to, bnt on the contrary their cause 13 in the ascendant. This prompt reply, taken with the action of both houses of congress, in regard to the position of the government, will probably open the eyes of the Emperor. eluding 115,000 bales American.

The treasury thus being supplied with funds, only a nominal tax has been imposed for the last several years.— When the Confederacy collapsed in April lasb the sum of sixty thousand dollars, in Confederate notes, was laid upon tho shelf; or, in common parlance, “went np;*' and in order to meet the necessities of the hour, and to carry on the city government, it was determined by Council to issue change bills. Only $15,150 has been issued up to this time, and this, with taxes being paid in, the city has thus been enabled to progress up to the present It now remains for the new Council to devise means to take up the bonds of the city past due, either by the issuance of new bonds to replace them, or by borrowing money on the credit of the city, and by imposing a sufficient tax to pay interest and the carrenFexpenses of the city. It may be proper to remark in this connection that the city debt may bo consider'd small, In comparison to its wealth, and it is less taxed ac cording to its population, than any city in Geor gia, or wc may say in the United States.

If nature, in its wild state and wishes, and in dulgent sensualities is to be humored; a dose of poison is brewing, a scourge for the fool's back i3 preparing—like drunkards who sit down in good humor to tipple, but soon pro ceed to black eyes. No man . ever found a happy life by chance, or yawned it into be ing with a wish. Even the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent on ly takes it by force. So that perfect peace may be won by peipetual war, and the health of the spiritby the death of thefeth. My old maxim is that religion will cost ns something, but the want of it infinnitcly more.—Ret.
