Th# Leglajaiurr,
Under the Proclamation of the Gover
nor the . General dssembly convened in
this city on Wednesday last. The first
subject under consideration was the mes
sage of Gov. Brown. This was read, anti
parts of it referred to appropiiate com
mittees. J lie next question which en
gaged the attention of the two Houses,
was the character of the body. Was it a
separate and distiuct session, or was it a
continuation of the session which expired
by limitation in December last! After
consideiable debate upon the knotty
question, it was finally decided to be a
new and separate session; and that tbe
unfinished business of the late session
could not now be taken up as it was left
on adjournment. All important business
unfinished at the adjournment in December
will, therefore, have to be re-introduced,
and go through the same course as if it

To the Legislature of Georgia :
Gentlemen : We are about to be con

The Distillers stand first in atrocious
moral treason. These demons of mischief
are buying up syrup, corn, wheat, pota

work will spread sorrow and famine over

We invite the attention of our readers
t) this important State paper, which they
will find in our present issue. "Wc con
sider it one of the best which the Gover
nor has written, both in matter and
style. Many of the subjects to which be
calls the attention of the Legislature are
a - important to us s\s our life and liberty,
ami we trust the Legislature will so re
gard them. There are a lew men in the
State that will find fault with the Message

fault with anything that Governor Brown
r.‘commends; but we believe the great

The Yankees are now having a good
time over the prospect of starving us into
submi.-si :.. Their pacers are full of this
pleasing topic. They get their accounts
from the South through the Richmond
papers. The Richmond Press would
do well to exclude all articles depicting
the .suffering of our people for want of pro
visions. True, we are no better off, so far
as eating is concerned, by biding our suf
ferings Irom tbe Yankees. But ire have
got to stand it, anyhow; and as the Yan
kees are only induced to prolong the war
by these signs of distress, it would be
br?t for papers that go to the North, to
say nothing on the subject, when they can
say nothing hopeful. Wc arc well assured
‘Lat the enemy expect to drive us to the
wall—not by bayonets—but by creating
a vacuum in our epigastric region, which
..II of us know is most “tolerable and not

Excuses for Planting - Cotton.
Some of our friends from South-West
ern Georgia ask, what good it will do for
them to raise more corn when there are
thousands of bushels in their section now,
rotting for want of means to transport ,Jt
to other places where it is wanting. 1 his
want of transportation is certainly' a great
evil, and should if possible bo remedied.
It is produced in a great degree by unwar
ranted assumptions of men calling them
selves Government Agents, and under tlie
pretense of acting for tlic Government, it
is believed, do great and unnecessary in--
jury* to the people. We hope the Legis-
turc V.-ill find some means to abate this
evil. Bnt this want of transportation will
also apply to cotton as well as com; .nnd,

LATER—ADITIOX A L I’A RTICUL ARS.
From a despatch received from
Gordonsville last night, we get some
later news of the fight. It appears
that the enemy crossed the Rappahan
nock in the morning at Kelley’s Ford,
with both a cavalry and artillery force.
They advanced within some six miles
of Culpeper Court House, when our
men made a stand. The fight was se
vere, and lasted several hours. The
Yankees were finally repulsed, and
fell back, in the real John Gilpin style
—routed and panic stricken.
By some of the prisoners taken by
us the enemy’s force is said to have
been two divisions—but.this’is hardly
so. It is thought that their force were j
two brigades, which have been con
founded by the prisoners with “divis
ions.” The prisoners confirm the great
slaughter of their men. and confess that
they were badly whipped. .
It is stated that we took a number
of prisoners, but how many we are
left to conjecture. A number of our
men were also made prisoners, but it
is thought that they will not exceed
thirty or forty. Among them was Ma
jor Breckinridge.
Among our killed, we learn, was
Lieutenant Harris, of Powhatan coun
ty, Virginia. Colonel Rosser, of New
Orleans, is also mentioned as slightly
wounded.
The body of Major Pullen also reach
ed the city last night, and -we learn
will bs embalmed.
