Black moved to reconsider the action of the House, hv which the House refused to concur in the amendment of the Senate to the hill to ajijirojuiat provide for indigent soldiers and rheir families. The House fixed the amend ment necessary for this purpose at *2 000, 000—the Senate struck out that sum and inserted 63,000,000, in which the House refused to concur. Gen. Black stated that owing to the immensely high rates of all articles of prime necessity, the amount agreed on by the House was altogelher insufficient for. that purpose, and hence made his motion to reconsider, in order to accept the Senate amendment. The motion was lost. Air. AY'ashington moved to reconsider so much of the action of the House on Satur day by which the bill to change the line between the counties of White and Haber sham, was lost. The motion prevailed.— The rules were suspended, the bill taken up and passed. a ne Joint Committee appointed to examine into the business before both brandies, and ascertain at what time they should adjourn, reported that owing to the immense amount of important matter before them, it would he unwise as injitr- ous to the interest of the State to adjourn on the 15th inst., and in their opinion the business could not be finished in a proper manner by extending the session ; they therefore recommended that the House take a recess from and after Thursday next, to the Sth of Feburary next. The report was taken up, discussed for some time and finally adopted. The H ouse then concurred in Senate amendments to House bills as reported on Saturday last. Leave of absence was granted to Messrs. Lawson, Hook and Duke. The House then adjourned. The committee submit a statement of the case, in which they conclude by sav ing that the connection of V. A. Gaskill with the matter is not of the satisfactory character which* authorizes them to say that he is free from blame, and they sub mit resolutions declareing that A. 1’. Bell has in his possession profits, accruing from the shoe transaction, which, in good conscience, he ought not to retain ; that, as an officer of the 6tate, he he dismissed. It appears that Air. Bell bought the shoes for the Quartermaster’s’ Department— that Air, Gaskill, acting for Mr. Bacon, the Quartermaster, examined the shoes, and they were condemned. They after wards found their way into Air. Gaskill’s commission store, and were sold for a large profit, which Air. Bell retains! Mr. Bell submits, with the report, a sworn statement, exonerating Air. Gaskill from all blame, and assumes all reproach, j if any, to himself. He maintains that he I had a light to do as he did. p ^ | • The report of the committee on the and tiieir I u *^ : ’ rcbtr ' ct the planting of cotton, was j taken up. They recommended a substi- ! iute—restrict the crop to three acres to j the hand, under penalty ot a fine of five hundred dollars for every acre planted over three, one half to go to the informer. Mr. Alitchell thought tiie amount allowed too large. Air. Fulhvood made an able speech in behalf of the bill. The report of the committee,was agreed to, and the bill passed. ’T he Senate then adjourned to 7 o’clock, to-night. AFTERNOON SESSION. 3 o’clock P. AT. . The House met.

Mr. Barnes called the previous question j — ; statiDg that it was a motion usually odious to him, and one that lie had never J made, but the House had listened to the ; thorough discussion of the question, and | ought not, in his judgment, to consume | more time on it.

Culberson moved to take up a resolution from the 6enate (which I oryitted to notice on its passage in that branch,) calling attention of the Confederate military authorities to certain injustice sustained by him at the hands of the soldiers, by Hon. W. W. Lane, Senator from the 44th District. The resolution was referred to a special com mittee. Fite House refused to concur in the substitute of the Senate, to the resolution in leferenceto a recess. The resolutions defining the resolutions authorizing the seizure of factories and goods, were taken up, and the following substitute was adopted and transmitted to Georgia Legislatures . 4SD2. adjourn- SENATE.

SENATE. Dec, 9th. The Senate met according to adjournment. On motion of Air. Alitchell, the action of the Senate in refusing to concur in the House resolution to take a recess after Thursday, was reconsidered. The resolu tion were then taken up, when Air. Lewis moved as a substitute that the House ad journ on Saturday, 13th inst., until the fourth IFednesday in April, and on the motion called the previous question. The substitute was adopted. The special order—the, majority and minority reports ol the committee on Con federate relations on the Conscript law— was taken up.- Air. Alitchell moved to postpone indefin itely, and called the previous question.— Lost ayes 12 nays, 23. Air. Gordon then proceeded to address the Senate, and spoke until the hour of Upon the adoption | adjournment. As his speech will be pub lished in full, I will not emasculate it with ! seized by the authority aforesaid, ten per | cent, on the cost to the owner, of all such j articles so sold or seized ; provided, that in every case the party owning such goods | shall make an affidavit, settiug forth the price paid by him, and the name of the person or persons from whom he purchased j said articles ; and provided, further that in all cases where the officer of the State may suspect the correctness of the price ; reported by the owner, it shall be deter- ! mined by arbitration, as follows : 'Lite ' officer and owner, each, shall choose a dis interested person," to whom the question ! shall be referred, and these, in case of disagreement, shall call in a third person, who shall act as umpire ; and were such cost, when ascertained, exceeds the mar ket value of tiie article, the officer must ton that has passed out of the producers’ hand, passed. The tienate insisted upon the amend ment of 63,000.000 to tho bill for the re lict of soldiers’ families, and concurred in the House resolution for a committee of conference on the subject. The special order—the report of the majority and minority committee was ta ken up. ./udge Gibson had the floor, and pro ceeded to an able review of the speech of Mr Gordon, and sustained the constitution ality of the law. In the afternoon, a motion to Lay the Conscript resolutions on the table was lost and they were made the special order for J2 o’clock to-morrow. The explanatory resolutions from the House in reference to the seizure of goods for clothing the soldiers was taken up. Air Brown moved to extend the time of seizure to January. Air Seward was opposed to altering the resolutions as they passed at first. We seize soldiers and negroes, and shall we hesitate to seize the property of specula tors? Air Eurlow offered a substitute, rescind ing the resolutions authorizing seizures. Judge Gibson sustained the explanato ry resolutions as they passed the House. He represented a community in which per haps more goods had been seized than in ' any other in the State: and he did not think there was a holder ot goods there ' who would object to taking 10 percent 1 profits on goods for clothing the army. If there were such men there he did not rep resent them. yj r nt moved to lay the resolu tions on the table for the balance of the session. Judge Gibson opposed the motion. He would lie perfectly willing to withdraw the protection of-the law from the lawless and the heartless persons who prey upon the necessities of the people. But it was our duty to clothe our troops, and to do it Love opposed the i promptly. He did not believe there were ) 3,000 Georgians without shoes in the ar my; hut such as there are should be sup plied. Two months ago there were many thousands in want of shoes and clothing, hut most of them have since been sup plied. He would seize and pay a fair price for enough to clothe and shoe those in need, and no more, and this could he done in ten days. To seize under the pro visions of the bill as it first passed was public robbery, and a disgrace to any iState or country. This explanatory res olution remedies the wrongs perpetrated, and will effect the object desired. If we wish to render the Government odious to every sense of honesty, and to prepare the minds of its outraged citizens for proposi tions for reconstruction or any other relief from a tyranny so burdensome and unpar donable— we have but to let the process of indiscriminate and unregulated seizure go on. Air Alitchell favored some well regula ted means of meeting the wants of the army. Air Echols alluded to the case of an Irishman in Lexington, whose leather had cost him $2.75 per pound, and was seized at 61. He deemed the whole system of seizing private property as wrong, and most cases unconstitutional. The people of Aliddle Georgia were ju.-tly indignant that the people of the coast should run off' their negroes to safe retreats and seize on country negroes to till their places. The revolution we are kindling in Georgia is almost as fatal to liberty and justice as any other. The vote was on Air. Brown’s amend ment to extend the time of seizing to Jan uary 1st. It was carried. J udge Gibson called for the yeas and nays, and appealed to the Senate not to forget the Constitution they had sworn to support, and not to hazard the fate of the resolutions by clogging them with amend ments. Ten days is ample for securing the amount ot goods needed. The vote was taken on the motion to extend the time to January 1st, and the vote was ayes 15, nays 15—(Jol. WmAI Brown, in the chair, voted no, and the amendment was lost. The Senate then adjourned. 65 HOUSE. Dec. 10th to adjourn- The House met according ment. In the House this morning the action of the House in refusing to concur in the Sen ate amendment to take a recess after Sat urday, was reconsidered and the resolu tion was concurred in. The vote was yeas 94, nays 49. A bill to suppress the retail of Spiritu ous liquors was taken up. Mr Thrasher moved to strike out the clause “except on the written certificate of some practicing physieian, &c.,” which motion prevailed.
