Washington, Feb. 12.—The spirit of the House may be imagined from the following extracts from yesterday’s proceedings: Mr. Butler: I take back nothing. Mr. Bingham: Then I ask the House to compel you to lake back your revo lutionary resolution. That is some thing that the gentleman cannot re tract, and I denounce it here to day, before the House and before the people of tho country, as being as unwarrant ed as any act of the session. I de nounce, as a representative of the peo pie, the attempt to inaugurate revolu tion on the floor of this House. I will oppose the reference of the resolution as seeming to commit the House in some sort to a challenge of your own law. How would it look for us to refer another resolution suggested by the speech of the gentleman (Mr. Butler,) aud that is, that the House should be authorized to use the language, if the Senate would not retire from the joint convention, to kick it out. The gentleman from Massachusetts should be the captaiu in the kicking operation. [Langhter.] I think the gentleman cannot gainsay his speech in that he half, which brought down the galleries and split the ears of the groundings, aud elucidated the animus of his resolu tion. I denounce it here as a resolution of revolution. I denounce it as a reso lution of anarchy. To think of the House of Representatives kicking out the Senate of the About the time that you will have kicked the law making power out of existence, you will have proved yourselves great er archives of yonr country’s ruin than did the million of mon who for four years wnged war upon your constitu tion aud your laws, drenching your land with blood and covering it with graves. Mr. Butler: I always did like that speech of Mr. Bingham’s. [Laughter.] Mr. Schenck: I have not the slight, est idea of proposing the censure of the Speaker. I think he was excited like the rest of us. Mr. Colfax: I was not. Mr. Schenck: There is only a differ ence of opinion about that. The Senate this morning, alter re ports, not including the Judiciary on Virginia, proceeded to consideration of private bills. House resumed Butler’s resolution.

Cody gives n-otice that he has associated with him in the grocery ousiness his brother, W. 11. Cody. They will occu py the same stand, the corner stoic nu der Cook’s Hotel. As our readers well know, the house is one of the leading ones in the city, established on a firm basis. The youug gentlemen have en terprise and energy, and buyers will find it to their interest to call. Those indebted to J. A. Cody will find some thing to their advantage in the adver tisement. From the Huntsvillo (Ala.) Independent. “The ‘Great Southern Preparations’ are not patent medicines, composed of mysterious roots and herbs found iu re mote and obscure corners of the earth, but are made of pure aud fresh drugs, the efficacy of which have been thor oughly tested by the medical faculty The rapid sale and curative properties of these medicines are the best guaran tees that can be offered iu their favor. Their English Female Bitters is having a tremendous sale in this county and all are delighted with its effects.” C. F. Morgand, editor of the Kosciusko (Miss.) Chronicle, says: * * “The English Female Billers are highly re commended by the medical lraternity at this place and surrounding country.” See advertisement. W&WyIM “Reconstructed Reconstruction,” Under the above caption the Bloom ington Pantograph, a leading Radicaj | paper in Illinois, uses the following language regarding the action of Con gress towards Georgia : “Is not the United States Senate rath er over-riding the matter of reconstruc ting the State of Georgia ? That State was completely made over in accordance ; with the Reconslruction laws, and has been acknowledged as in full fellowship with the Union by the Senate, both di rectly and indirectly. Members of Congress are, and have been for weeks, been representing Georgia in the Na tional House of Representatives; the Senate has passed a concurrent resolu tion, declaring the Fourteenth Consti tutional Amendment as adopted by two thirds of the States, thus counting Geor gia in the number, and yet, the Semite has now refused to admit Mr. Hill as Senator from that State, while charging . him with no offence. The main ground i for this action is, that after Mr. Hill was | duly elected by the Legislature of Geor gia that body expelled all of the colored members ! Suppose the Legislature of Missouri should expel all of the Demo crat members of that body (and it would not be any worse in itself Ilian the cx pulsion of the colored members in Geor gia,) and the Senate should thereupon refuse to permit Carl Schurz to take his seat as Senator, what would Missouri say ? We know what she ought to say under such circumstances, and what we of this State would say under similar ones. We should say—" Unwarrantable usurpation. ” “If Georgia was not properly rccou- j structed, it was no fault of hers—for Congress moulded her as clay in the hands of the potter. The whole wisdom of both houses of Congress was expend ed in passing, amending, and improv ing the reconstuuction acts ; and that body has acknowledged the conformity of Georgia to the requirements of the laws. If those were so badly construct ed that the State must again reconstruct its own work; if they permitted the Southern States Legislatures to oust all the colored members, notwithstanding the design ol Congress to the contrary, then that body should not complain. And il Georgia lias has done this thing !i n violation of these laws, the remedy should be found in the laws themselves.’ “This whole thing would appear nke child’s play, were it not lor certain j glimmerings which it gives of an as ’ sumed controlling power over toe State 1 bv certain men in tbe Lmted States Senate If tbe late rebellions States are | to be perpetually under tbe control and 5 dictation of Congress, bow soon snail all tho States find themselves in a sinn I Jar condition ? If this ex post facto ae. j tion of the Senate is to stand as on ex ample and fit instrumentality for intro ducing the same absolute rule’ over al I the States, each may successfully find herself deprived of some privilege lor ~. me offense, like that of Georgia,which, though wrong, hud not been lorbiuileu. A Squaw Bald. —New Tears was celebrated at Fort Benton by a “squaw ball,” at which the elite of the forest maidens were present, among them the elegant and charming Miss “Wagon Box,” arrayed in striped silk, bed-tick pattern, with various kickshaws and adornments. Also, were present the affable, polite, etc., Misses “Stomach,” “Fatty,” “Mike - ” and others with euphonious cognomens. The etiquette at these assemblages is somewhot pecu liar. It is required that when you want a partner for the next dance you must nudge her with your thumb and look at her; if she grunts you are all right, and ean count on the engagement; but if she says “Sa,” you must poke up another. Refreshments consists of pies cut iu slices and handed round with a bucket of ice water. Drinks are only attainable at the near saloons, or where someone has “cached” a bot i tie of the ardent in the snow outside. SUNDAY HORNING FEBRUARY 14. A Gay Duke. —The English Duke of Hamilton swashes around the Mediter ranean in a 240 ton serew steamer that cost £B,OOO. The. Milk in the Cocoanut. — Longstreet’s love for Radicalism finds explanation in the fact of his candidacy for for the Coiiectorship of the port of New Orleans. Who will show his hand next? More Suspension. —Bos de Graffen ried, one of Bullock's Secretaries, begs a suspension of public opinion in regard to Bullock’s appropriation of the money of the State. Thanks.—The House of Representa tives of the Georgia Legislature has passed a resolution to adjourn on the 23d. Let the Senate do likewise, provi ded Bullock’s hands are first securely tied. On a Matrimonial Tour.—Capt. Cox, the courteous and efficient Deputy U. S. Marshal for Georgia, is iu the city, and leaves this morning for Eu faula to visit some friends. His last visit here was on official business, to arrest Gilbert the swindler. Since that period he has “doubled himself.” Royal Rogues.— A postmaster in Ohio, and his two sous, all bright lights in the “God and morality” party, have been delected in robbing letters of money. There has been more mail robbing m the last eight years than iu the fifty years before the election of Lincoln. Too Busy with Niggers to Attend to Write Folks. —Wendell Phillips lias written a letter to M. C. Meigs, the young Bostonian who engineers the movement for giving the ballot to young men between 18 and 21, expressing his sense of the justice of the claim, but saying that he has so much on his hands that he must leave this to others. A Good Day’s Work.— The New York World, of the 7th, says: Commo dore Yamlerbiit made ten million dol lars in one day recently; so it was stated in open court yesterday. If this is true, and it probably is, it is undoubt edly the largest sum ever made in the same time by one man since the begin niug of history. The Hungarian Hero. —“Kos- suth,” says the Genoa correspondent of the Opinion Nationale, who saw him a few weeks ago in Genoa, “looks now like a veiy old, and I might say, de crepit man lie is poor, and lives on what little i «m*y is occasionall sent him from trien is in England and Hun gary.” Radical Generosity.—A bill was reported by Mr. Paine, from the Recon struction Committee, for the removal of \ political disabilities from certain par S ties, which embraoes 23(i persons, iu eluding 19 from Alabama, 12 from Ar ; katrns, 7 from Georgia, 7 from Virginia, 5 from Tennessee, 5 from South Caroli na, 1 from Louisiana, 1 from North : Carolina, 3 from Texas, 107 from Mis j sissippi, l from tile District of Columbia ! aud 5 from Kentucky. Planters Playing at Folly The States, published in St. Louts, says that statements reach it from the South that planters are making arrangemeuls to 1 plant lame areas in cotton. The indi i cations, it says, are that nearly al! their I energies will be devoted to this crop, I aud that, as a consequence, Ihe grain ! crops will be neglected. Tlie reason lor | this is found in the fact that the staple is now selling for twenty-five cenls pot pound. At this price the plainer imag ines lu* can supply deficiencies in the matter of grain aud meat crops and yet make money. He acted upon this idea two years ago and come very near plunging himself into irretrievable ruin. Yet he seriously contemplates acting upoti it again ! If he docs so lie will suffer far more than he suffered iu 1807. j A word to fli- wise is sufficient. Assassination. —A Chicago dispatch of the 9th says: Hon. Murray McCon neli, ex State Senator and auditor of the bureaus in the Treasury Depart ment at Washington during Mr. Bu chauan’s administration, was murdered in his law office at Jacksonville, Mor gan county, this morning about 10 o’clock, by an unknown assassin. De ceased was seventy one years old, and was the law preceptor of Stephen A. Douglas. One of his daughters is the widow of ex-Senator McDougall, of California. The State Senate at Spring field adjourned over this evening in honor of his memory. Tire Rail Rond to West Point. Wo are gratified to meet a prompt response to our suggestions in relation to anew railroad outlet from our city. Wo present below a communication from one of our most prominent, intel ligent and public spirited citizens, who promises to give us further and material aid in the matter. Wc would add, that in ft recent con versation with one of the most expe rienced civil engineers in the State, who lias carefully surveyed the route alluded to, wo were assured that by reason of the peculiar conformation of the coun try, the proposed road could be built at moderate cost, as compared with other roads, aud that the maximum grade pet mile will not exceed twenty-five feet. This will enable the road to lie run at a much less cost than other roads, some of which have to encounter grades equal to forty feet to the mile. We pleased to hear from our correspondent further on the subject. In the meantime we present and com mend his views to our readers: Columbus, Ga. , Feb. 13, 1869. Mr. Editor : I read with pleasure, j your remarks in your issue of this morning, urging the building ol a Rail ; Road from hereto West Point, and hope j that you will continue to press the mat ter until it is a fact accomplished. The J Central and South Western R. R- com- : bination have now obtained control over every railroad that could afford an ; outlet to Columbus, whether toward Savannah or the Gulf, and the recent heavy advance fn freights shows how entirely that control will be directed to the sole object of making heavy profits for themselves. Our people are looking everywhere for relief, as is shown by receut shipments of cotton —some 400 bales via Fernandina, GOO to New Or leans —both unnatural diversions, and that much lost to Savannah. But nothing will afford us a relief so effectual as will bo given by a Railroad direct to West Point, or some point on the A. & W. P. R- R. We will then have a di rect route to Charleston, in full compe titiou with Savannah and the Central ; R. R., and one that can be closed by no combination. Our communications would also be greatly faciliated with the provision producing region of the W est, and by the Air Line R R , now building from Aliauta, with New York The advantages of this are plain to every "business man. But the subject can not be discussed in ouo communi cation. With your permission I may renew it, perhaps in a series of short articles. Yours truly, A. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

House adjourned. TUe Georgia Delegation In Congress. Col. Christy, of the Southern Watch man, who has returned from an unsuc cessful visit to Washington to take his seat as a Representative from this State, writes as follows of his more fortunate colleagues: We have recently met with several paragraphs in the newspapers, which have a tendency to do gross injustice to the six members admitted in the House from this State. For example : The New York Her ald speaks of Messrs. Tift and Young, both Democrats, as carpetbaggers.— This not only does gross injustice to two worthy and faithful Representa tives, but betrays gross iguorauce on the part of the writer. We observed a paragraph in a Geor gia exchange, the other day, returning thanks to Col. Win. P. Edwards, of the third district, for public documents, aud closing with the remark that this was evidence that he was sober! We do not know anything of the habits of Col. E. heretofore, hut have been iu Wash ington most of the time since Congress convened, and take pleasure in bearing testimony to the fact that he has been distinguished for sobriety, and evinces a desire to serve his constituents faith fully, regardless of party. Col. E. fought bravely for “the lost cause,” and although we do not agree with him in politics, we trust we shall always be able to do him justice as a man. He is a native Georgian. Col. Samuel F. Gove, though not a native of the State, is not a “carpet bag ger,” having resided here for more than thirty years. Differing with him as we do in politics, we take great pleasure in saying lie is attentive to his duties as a legislator and probably sends more pub lic documents to the colleges, libraries, academies and schools of the State than any other member. The Nor It Georgia Citizen, of a late dale, saj s Messrs. Prince aud Clift have “made a bee lino Im their homes away up in the frozen regions of Maine.”— Our respected conteuipiiraiy lias been misinformed, they were both in Wash ington when we left, on the 3Ut ult.— Mr. Prince is, we believe, » native of Maine, aud Dr. Clift hai's from Massa clinsetts, and both came to Georgia, we learn, after the surrender. As we we re the party who alluded lo tlie sobriety of Edwards, we would say that, in common with the people of this district, we are pleased to learn of his reformation. It does m>t strike us, however, that tin* mi 'hot o' a bill to re mand Georgia to Mi-ftary rule, desirves the encomiums passed upon him by Col. Christy. We fear tlie Colonel is a poor judge ot tuen, for we find in ihe same number of his paper, tin* luilow ittg, about a Very notorious chat aeter in Georgia just prior to the war, one Gitas. G. Baylor: Before proceeding further, it is due to Col. B. to state, that his political po sitiou has been misrepresented anti mis understood in Georgia, as we are stuis fii i 1 from frequent interviews we have luo! with him in Washington City.— All hough not now residing among us, his hearts affection and sympathies are with the people of his native South. This 001. Baylor isoncof tho shrewd est and most unscrupulous of “Oheva li, is d’lndustrie.” Joe Brown pitched at him, petteii him, and put him into an honorable position before the war.— During the war he ran away, went Not lit and has been representing him self as of the “loil” persecuted. Tak ing his own words and deeds, it is simply impossible to misrepesent him, without doing him honor. It may be that among her other misfortunes, the South may be the birth place ot this fel low, but we doubt it, for be possesses to an eminent degree, all of tbe prominent virtues of a reai Skowhegan carpet-bag ger. The people of Georgia will hardly concur with Col. Christy in liis senti ments of some of his colleagues or C. G. Baylor. Bullock never goes anywhere without his carpet-bag well lined with Georgia bonds, and a laquey to carry the same, and to correct the spelling of his Ex prosslency. Au aged Puritan divine preached to the newly married couple of his congre gation, upon a part of Psalm lxxii, 7: “An abundance of peace so long as the moon, endureth.” A Welcome Ally. The Atlanta Constitution has at length taken sides with Ihc people of Georgia against Bullock and his min ions- It closes a long and able edito rial on the Bullock and Angier im broglio, as follows : Impotent as appeared tbe defense of the Governor against the plain unvar nished statement of the Treasurer, we were yet disposed to hear, before con demning him. We have waited until delay is without an excuse. Several weeks have elapsed since the Treasurer shojved that the Governor had drawn $35,000 of tbe funds of tbe State, which be bad not accounted for. And, yet, during this time he is as dumb as if his tongue had been palsied by tbe concen trated shock of a hundred thunder guns. The only pretext with him for refusing to inform the people of Georgia what he did with their $35,000, unlawfully used by him, is that the Treasurer had placed himself in an attitude of hostility to the Executive. Lame, futile, miserable pretext ! Such an excuse were more becoming a school by, when offended by a playmate, than one filling tbe office of Governor of a noble old Stale.

From the Southern Cultivator. Ctins. A, l’eaboily on Commercial Mamin s Ilfs METHOD OF APPLICATION AND RESULTS. Editors Southern Cultivator :As 1 am consiantly receiving letters front all paits of the cotton-growing State*, ask ing my views of Guano —what kinds I prefer—how I use it, and what quanti tleß?_l will make the Cultivator tlie medium of my answers to all. Some twentyfive years ago, I began to expe riment with Guano. First, I trivd Pe ruvian. This gave good satisfaction, but was, I then thought, rather expen sive. 1 have since tried all the other varieties of note. Some were good others worthless. I had to cornu to the conclusion that the Peruvian, however costly, was tiie cheapest in the end, as a hard-working industrious man could manipulate it, with any other substauce he thought proper. 1 have found sail, plaster, flower of hones, swamp muck, &c., valuable to manipulate with Peru vian Guano, but the labor of the mani pulation is great, and in the process of the manipulation much of the ammonia escapes. From this tact I have been led to inquire, whether there was not an excess of ammonia in Peruvian Guano, and whether it would not tie more advantageous to pay for the Phos phates, than to pay so much extra for the volatile ammonia. Whilst lull ol this idea, I struck the Soluble Pacific. Guano, and was so well pleased witli it, that last year I manured one-half of my cotton with it, and the other half with the genuine Peruvian. Thcsame quan tity of each was used per acre. Tlie land was of the same quality, the plant, ing and culture was in all respects the same, and when the crop was gathered, it was impossible to tell which was ihe best. Now the Soluble Pacific Guano cost me S2O less per ton, and as a cun j sequence, I have this year the Soluble I Pacific Guano alone. It cost me, at the 1 Agent’s Depot in Columbus, $75 per ton. It may be well here to state the char actcr of my land. Ido not live on ex actly what would be called pine bar reus, but it is next to it. The older portion of my laud will not, with ordinary cut ; lure, briDg three hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. A field of ten | acres, which i wished to experiment on with Dickson Cotton, hybridizing it ! with my Upland Long Staple, plowed and sub soiled in March, leaving the surface perfectly level; the 20th ol April, I laid it off in lands about, twen ty-five feet wide, and sowed Soluble i Pacific Guano broadcast, at the rale ol i two hundred pounds per acre. This I j turned under, with a turn shovel plow, j then opened furrows three feet apan, j with a long point scooter, following in the same furrow with a shovel plow ; in ! this furrow I put two hundred pouuds j more of the Guano to the acre. Then 1 ; threw the furrows together into the centre, with a turn-shovel, which ! I left but a slight ridge, and ou | 1 this ridge planted the seed. I 1 The Dickson, variety bears much i ; thicker planting than other kinds. The ; 1 growth and fruiting of the crop was su perb—nothing equal to it had ever been ' seen in this section of the. country, and | if the worms had not swept all the top and end Trolls, it would have made two I good hales to the acre. As bad as it has turned out, it has made a hale to the acre. To a half acre near my and well ing, that I had cowpenned last winter, I applied two hundred pounds ol ihe Soluble Pacific Guano in the drill, and, notwithstanding excessive wet weather | i n August, and the worms, which look i all the late crop, I have picked over j two thousand pounds of seed cotton I from the half acre. There are those iu my neighborhood, who plant land as | good as mine, but without Guano, that will scacely realize a bale from ten acres this year- And now a word to the purchaser,— If you would get the Soluble Pacific i Guano genuine, pnrehase it only of the authorized agents of the Company I have tried the Peruvian and Pacific on my garden crops, but with no good re sults. Peruvian Guano seems u» be emphatically the food for the cotton j fruit— other fertilizers may make more weed; but in the purchase of Peruvian Guano, we are paying for a volatile am- 1 monia, much of which is bound to cs- : cape, without benefit to crops. Will it not be to the planter’s interest to take that Guano which is richer in phosphat es and yet alnmd'Hir-' of ammonia for nil practical purp-ses 1 Tim Soluble Pacific (!u-in i 1 have found from sound practical tests, to be equal to (he Peru vian and much cheaper I hold that no man can afford to plant cotton without Guano, Chas. A. Peabody, Lee County, Ala., near Columbus, Ga., Nov. 14,1868. W H. Young, Agent for Pacific Guano Cos., Columbus, Ga. The New York Tribune says the reason why Plantation Bitters are so generally used is owing to the fact that they are always made up to the original standard, and of pure material, let the price he what it will. The Trib une just hits the nail on the head, for Plantation Bittreb are not only made of pure material, but the people are told what they are made of, as the rocipe is wrapped around each bottle.
