In a few days, the Senatorial elec tion may attract a larger number of lobby mem bers; but there is every indication that lhe pres ent session will be a remarkable one in more re spects than one. Not only will measures of great importance be enacted, but the members will not be disturbed by an army of shoulder-slappers and button-holders—the price of '"Kittles” has fixed that fact. Tax on Doga. Mr. Wni. Schley, of Richmond , has again intro duced a bill to tax the dogs. One of the most useful bills that has ever been brought before the General Assembly. If time permitted us to go into an argument supported by statistics we could prove to every intelligent man tiiat fHo useless dogs in the country do Quite as much harm as ilia bad men. Now we do' not propose to kill all the had men, hut there is a way to rid the State of a surplus of mean.no account dogs. Sheep raising is a profitable, and would be a safe, investment of labor and money, but for tile dogs wlffch infest every neighborhood. Here, on the commons of this city, a thousand sheep could he maintained throughout the year but for the numberless dogs in and about the place. We hope the Legislature / >thori will consider Mr. Schley’s hill with a serious reganf Tiie lndl ^ for the important interest which it seeks to protect, wd i sevi ... It is a good and timely measure, and deserves to have the support of every man irf the legislature who regards his State, before a peisotia! attach ment to a pack of dogs. or more guns may he taken to pieces and thrown into a pile, and all one has to do to put them to gether again is to take the first barrel and first j lock, and the first screw that conres to hand and go ahead. They will all fit each, other. The ad vantage of this, the principle of interchange as it is called, is. that after a battle the good parts of injured guns may be put together and so many serviceable arms saved, .the government losing only the parts absolutely broken or otherwise un fit for use. In point of excellence the guns made at this State Armory are equal to any from the Armories of the old Government, and w£ sincere ly hope the Legislature before adjourning will take measures to establish a suitable Armory on a proper foo.ing. No better opportunity tlian the present will he found for we have the man who understands the business, a good lot. ot machinery and tools, and a number of clever workmen. A better chance the State cannot have, and we ask any thinking man, if the State does not need an Armory’ Have not the events of the past two years demonstrated the nceessity of ones’ The members of the committee seemed to he unanimous in their approval of what they.saw, mid in admiration of the tools and machinery, and all retired so far as we heard or could judge, de lighted with the treat that had been given to them and the clear explanations of Mr. Jones.

The State has reserved to herseif the right, un der the Constitution to “engage in war'’ when ‘ac tually invaded,’ and to ‘keep troops’ while she is invaded. That authority which has the right to take from her this power, without which no State can exist, has the power to destroy Her. I believe it is admitted, however, by high au thority in this State, that the creature lias no pow er to destroy the crea'or; the child no power to destroy the parent, and the parent no right to com mit suicide.

The New York Tribune and Times bo'b approve of McClellan’s removal.— The Times says that though done at the last hour, it is not too late, it trusts to save tbe country. The New York Deraid ami World ate down on tbe removal. They say that the President has again yielded to radical pressure. Reports m regard to dissatisfaction growing out of McClellan’s removal are pronounced unfounded by tbe government News Agent at Washington. In Philadelphia the removal of McClel lan met with no sort of favor. His friends condemn it while tbe radicals say that it was no time tn change r.npanoanders in the face of tbe enemy. At a Democratic jubilee in New York, on Monday night, last, John Van Buren said that Lincoln had made McClellan tbe next President of tbe whole Union, though fluent protection : nor by rei gallon to protect her citizens, and thereby forfeiting | their allegiance.

Ira Hairis,the Black Republican Sen ator of New York, denounced the removal of McClellan in an open speech. McClellan on quitting Warrenton said to bis troops: “Stand by Burnside as you stood bv me, and all will be well. He took pressure, and it not erpurte, under most peculiar [ formal leave of the different army corps circumstances, when the counsel on both sides, | on Monday last Sunday night tbe officers assembled at who had brought the case before the Court, agreed that in their undivided opinions, tiie decision should be as it was made; I deem it my duty to submit the question to the General Assembly, who as a co-ordinate branch of the Government, repre sent the sovereign people of the States, and to ask your advice and direction in the premises. If you should hold, that the Governor no longer has the rig H t to command "e militia of t lie States, for the protection of her people, it only remains for me to inform the people of Camden, and the ladies of St. Marys, that while the Slate collects taxes, and requires them to bear other public burdens, she withdraws her protection irotn them, and leaves them to the mercy of negro invaders who may insult and plunder them at pleasure.

The law says that the pub lic printing sttall be executed under tiie eye of the Governor. How can this he done if the printing is not executed at the seat of Government? To show that such was the intention ot the act, we have only to state that the Job printing cannot be executed except at the Seat of Government. The House or Senate order a bill printed to-day to be laid on the desks of its members the next day; how can any office outside of Milledgeville do the work? Men have been elected to do the Public printing, who did not execute it at the seat of Government under the eye of the Executive, and what has been the result? The people well know that the Laws and Journals in two casts were nearly a year behind the time allowed by law in which to iiave them ready for delivery.

In Delaware the “Union” candidate for Governor is probably elected. The elec tion for Congress is in doubt, though Some accounts claim the election of the “Union” candidate by a majority of nine. The returns from Illinois are not com plete, and leave two Congressional districts in doubt. The Democrats are sure, how ever, of a gain of two—and perhaps four. In Wisconsin the Democrats have elect ed two members of Congress and tbe Re publicans three. One district is yet in doubt. Tbe Democrats have gained large ly through the State. In Minnesota the result is uncertain.— In Kansas same.—-though the indications favouf tbe election of the entire Republi can State ticket. From Missouri tbe returns are very -meagre, and the result is undecided. In the St. Louis district tbe friends of Blair, conservative Republican, ciaim his election by a very small vote, but his opponents do not concede it. The returns from the interior of the State are not full enough, to indicate the result. On the whole the result of the election gives sweeping Democratic triumphs, and shows a most tremendous revolution of public sentiment.

The necessity tor active operations in Virginia had become imperative, that tor reasons which appeared conclusive, the change was made. Tiie New York Herald says McClellan Had fallen a victim to the machinations of the radical aboli tion faction, and his crime lias been his persistent refusal to make the cause of the Union secondary to the cause of negro emancipation. A patriotic citizen was recently arrested in the town of Holly Springs, Mississippi, for selling whiskey to the soldiers at forty dollars a gallon which had cost him ninety cents.

His character was too tfur to be burnished by eu logy, too pure to be tarnished by detraction. In the morning of iife a;; j at tHe commencement of this sanguinary struggle he left his happy home, endeared to him by every possible tie which makes home atiractive, to fight the battles of his imperil ed country: and most nobly did he fulfill his mis sion. But alas! the grim monster arrested him in ids usefulness. He received a fatal wound upon the terrible field of Sharpsburg, which finally ter minated his mortal existence. He died in the hands of* the etc my.

HEADQUARTERS MIL’Y DIST OF GA., I Savahkvh, Ga , Nov. 3,1«62. j I have received from several counties of the State of Georgia, and from individual slavehold ers, requests and demauds that I should return their negroes now working upon the fortifications of Savannah. It is my sincere and earnest desiie to do so. I think it an injustice to those who have sene tueir negroes at my first call, that they should be compelled to bear the whole burden and heat of the day, while others, who aie among the wealthiest of the land, look calmly on the danger of the city and the State without contributing a single laborer from their hundreds or their thou sands to their defense. Fellow citizens, with whom ought the blame to rest? Not with those who have contributed their labor, for theV have nobly done 'heir duty. Not with me, for I ata simply doing that which is ab solutely necessaiV to the protection of tbe State from invasion antP^rora the designs of the Aboli tionists. Let the blame fallVrhere it it is justly due—on those who have Kfusellto. send labor to the de fenses of Savannah, ami who still refuse to take their turn iu thn work, who, after enjoyiug immu- mutiity for so long a timetatill refuse to relieve those who hjtve been laboring for them. Let those citizens whose vital interests are at stake, and who hnve done their shark^ towards the com mon weal/rise up snd compel these backsliders, and especially the rich among them, to do their part. / From the thousands of slaves Who have thus been withheld trom the defense of\he country, enough, aud more than enough, might eaaily be contributed to enable me to send back to their masters all those who have already worked here for three (3) months, aud at the same time v. ould give me a sufficient force to complete tbe defense of our chief city and coast. Patriots! will you allow the selfish and the un patriotic to reap all the benefits of our war of in dependence without sharing with you its burdens, its sacrifices and privations 7 As soon as those who have not hitherto contrib uted send me a sufficient number to fill their places I pledge myself to send back to their masters the negroes who are now at work. Until this is done, necessity compels me to retain them H. W. MERCER, Brigadier General Ctmmanding.
