Now in session to all appearances is a very slow conch. Not being fully acquain ted with all their surroundings we will not insist opon the correctness to which appearances point, atrd take for granted that members are “ scrub stock” The future however will place all usen and things in their true light. W« learn from onr exchanges that a message from Gov. Jenkins informed the Senate that several banks of Augusta hud surrendered their . charters and that ihe Governor appeals to tho Legislature for clemency towards the i fficcrs of these banks- Now we arw cut rious to know on what grounds the Gov ernor buses his appeal for clemency.—- Many of the bank officers in the State ]>ernut their bills to be bought and sold at five, ten, and twenty cents in the dol lar, while report says, they own hundreds of bales of cotton and are so rich they are able to become large stockholders in and officeis of National Banks. Clemency to such men is injustice to the people and the Senator or Representative who rotes for any measure that relcivs these mil lionaires from any obligation they are now under would act wisely t* prepare for re tirement if not something worse. They should be required to pay the last dollar they owe. The class of laws improperly called “ relief laws ” are becoming odious to a majority of the people. The labor ing man who is required to comply with all bis contracts is at a loss to understand the justice of the demand for relief set up by a certain class, because forsooth they are bank men. But, oh 1 says one “ the banks are all broke.” How it is then wc ask that their officers are richer than ever and own hundreds of sha-es in new banks? Repudiation indirect, which seems to be in great favor with many members, has onoc been repudiated by ihe people fend they are wearied with its agitation. The homestead bill as proposed by some is indirect repudiation. Be careful gen- tietnon, that in attempting to relieve the needy you do not protect the dishonest. Many of the citizens of Georgia possessed nothing but a fewjnotes and negroes.— The Fedcrals administered on one portion of their estates, and we insist that it would be Wrong for tho Legislature to sue out letters of administration de bonis non and wind up their affairs. Common sense sug gests that the laws should be just in their operation, nnd that creditors, should not be borne upon more heavily than any other class.

Washington, Feb. 5—A circular has been issued from the Treasury Depart ment rescinding former orders in relation to the taxation of manufactured articles in the hands of manufacturers in the Sou thern States, whieh have hitherto been ctetnpt from taxation. After the 1st of March, such articles will be subject to ,. the prescribed rates of taxation under the Excise Law, no matter what may be the date of their manufacture. CONGRESSIONAL NEWS. Washington, Feb. 5.—In the House to-day, an amendment to the roles was offered and laid on the table, to set apart one day in each week for the considera tion of public business, to be called the question I think ually introducing bills to mutilate the Code, and always assign as a reason our new status. They say rhe *ew order of thinof require radical chang. s in our lows. I admit that a few important changes are absolutely required to-wcettlie wants of the people, but l wo«4d rw4 have our ex cellent code so mutilated iTwit the codifiers can not recognize it. I am not wedded to a law because it is old. One which doe* not meet the present neces>ities of the people should bo amended or repealed, but I fear too many legislators are carried away by innovation and are found sup porting new measures which they have never stopped to investigate. Last week was one of much interest at the capitol. The election for two l T . S. Senators took place on Wednesday. The result of which is known to your readers. Neither of the successful gentlemen were candidates. Several distinguished visitors were present. Tlte naileries were thronged with beauty and fashion. Of course gal lant marriageable members left the floor and went to tbe galleries. Tbe ladies all favored the election of Mr. Stephens— not on account of their partiality for confirmed old bachelors,” but they are ardent admirers of peerless ability. Gen. Gartrell had hosts of lady friend* who intended on the sixth ballot, if he Had not withdrawn his name, to have thrown to every member who voted for him a bouquet. The General is consider ed a handsome man by the ladi«.*,nnd never wanting in gallantry, especially to them. Several interesti: g addresses were de livered here by outsiders last week. Tuesday night Hon. Joshua Hill un- dertqpk to prove that he had been loyal to the U. 8. Government during tbe late war, that he could take the test oath, and therefore ought to be elected Senator.— He did not come up to my standard of loyalty. He is an able bodied man and should have taken up arms io support of the government of his choice. Tuesday night Col. Napier of this place made an appeal in favor of the Stay law. He contends that many of the wealthy will pay no more attention to the heartrending cries of the poor widow* and orphans of deceased soldiers’, than a blue tailed hawk would to the cries of a crippled rooster. Rev. Mr Tucker, of Atlanta, delivered a very patriotic address on Friday night, in behalf of the poor of Georgia, calling attention especially to the six hundred poor in the city of Atlanta, who are al most destitute of clothing, food and shel ter. Many of these poor are the widows and orphans of gallant men who fell in the late Confederate cause. These men sacrificed their lives in our cause, their property was swept from their families by the casualties of war, and their widows and children are beggars. Every county in the State has such beggars. Something must be done to relieve their necesities. Shame will rest upon the people of the State if ire refuse to listen to their cries. Last night Mr. King delivered an ad dress in favor of theiotroiuction of white laborers iuto Georgia. First, I think we should encourage white Southern laborers and industrious negroes if such can be found, who are in no way responsible for the result of the late war. Among tbe most important bills before the Legislature is the Homestead Bill, which has passed the Senate, giving to each head of a family one hundred acres of land free from levy and sale, five addi tional acres for each child under eighteen years of age, and ten additional acres for each invalid entirely dependent upon the heads of such families for support. The value of such real estate is not to exceed twenty five hundred dollars. The freedmen’s code is undergoing a close scrutiny by a joint judiciary com mittee. I think it will be adopted as re ported by the commissioners with but few alterations. It would seem from the action of the Senate that the Penitentiary is not to be abolished. There has been no vole taken in the House, which establishes clearly the wishe* of its members. This vexed ill be settled this week.

A most terriffic Tornado passed through dum ter the present has put a atop to ] a portiou of Newborn, Newton county, our desire* of settlement in the sunny n ~ — rXT --* 5 — —— ,,n 9 Ath land of the Aztecs. We are needed at home for noble purposes and the Emperor of the Mexicans has something else to do than furnish homes to vagabond rebels. There are doubtless cogent reasons why Mexico is at this time terra prohibits to citizens of the United Stares. It is ru mored that Maximilian has termed a leauge with the “Khan of Tartary,” of fensive aud defensive, and that conjoint ly they have an eye on Texas with a view of its division between the leaguers — Others say this prohibition is made to prevent fillibusteis from invading Mexico and enkindling strife among the good sub jects of His Majesty Maximilian the first, to the detriment and danger of theix king dom. I expect this is true for we know that all of the filibuster* did not die with Walker, and that the United States cher ishes sentiments of kindly regard for the wed being of Napoleon’s protege and de sire earnestly the stability of his throne. Now should many homeless rebel* find dumieil in Mexieo, they would be as cer tain to effect something wonderful in the administration of its government, a* that the Mexican people did not vote to re ceive their present Emperor. Let all men understand it the United States has determined to turn over a new leaf with the filibusters : hereafter she will be re sponsible for their couiuct. She would atone her position in regard to Kerr aud Critcnden of Lopez. Cuban memory, as well as Walker the filibuster hero of Nic aragua. We are glad of it a man has no right to (Wibustrate., let him stay at home aud mind his own business it. is evident some power ought to be responsible for his conduct. We were consoled with the idea that not withstanding we fad lost property and nation ality by war, we had remaining, the “right of expatriation,” but it seems that a mistake was made on our part, and that we counted with out our host. The right of expatriation don't amount to muen any how. A man might ns well stay where lie was born, even if great in ducements are offered him, and he desires ev er so strongly to move elsewhere. The Uui- t-:d States fought three years for the right of expatriation, whipped the fight, and establish ed the doctrine. '• Born a subject, always a subject," was the tenet of haughty England. ‘•The earth is God's gift to all men, and the individual may haTe citizenship whereever his inclinations ana ability may acquire domicil,” was the tenet of the Republican United Slates. It don’t matter; them, she was scarce of sea men and the great West was unpeopled ; sow her proud N. vie; darken the bosom of every Ocean, and birg’eat West teems with human life, and Cities dourish where the Wigwam stood Kbozta was subject born of Austria. He had been to America and declared his in tention of becoming a citizen of the United Slates. Interest induced Khozla to recross the (X-ean, and Austria claimed him as her subject and sought to put him in the military service. How was tbe demand met? We re member the conduct ol our gallant navi 1 offi cer in the defense of Khozta, and that he wa3 afterwards applauded and sustained by his Government. But let that pass. Doubtless the U. States had at that time other -‘crows’’ to pick with Austria than Khozta’s right to expatriaiion. Let all this pass ; our duty is to obey, and there aro other couutries besides Mexico.

A dark cloud, accom- panied with thunder and vivid lightning this place that the Pacific Railroad is ex- was seen approaching the village from a south-westerly direction tonorth-east, with a violent wind, causing some alarm to the villagers, though not suspecting anything more than a severe wind, when in a mo ment, the most awfnl erashwas heard to pass through the western part of the vil lage, scattering houses, fences, trees, and everything that could be moved, in its path. Mr. James 0. Ba Iy and his estimable lady, (daughter of Col. J. W. Pitts, to whom he .hatj been married some three months,) were both instantly killed.— Me*. Bailey was blown owi two hundred yarcL», greatly mangled—Tound dead.— Mr. Bailey was blown ab>.ut 75 yards, found dead, aiso mangled. Nothing is left of their beautiful residenoe, except i-ome brick ; not a particle of clothing, furniture- or anything else remains to tell that a house ever stood there : the frag ments of their dwelling are scattered for miles, some shingles and broken fragments were found as far as Rutledge, some 6 or 8 miles distant, and some clothing was found not tar from the same place. The kitchen, iti which was a negro woman, and her grand child, was also torn in frag ments, though the woman aud child esca ped with only slight injury. The dwelling of Dr. J. J. Montgomery, on the adj iuiug lot to Mr. B., was also torn to pieces; the Dr. his wife, and two children were ip the house when the Tor nado came on ; they were all ihrowu some disrance by the violence of the wind, and himself aud lady were severely* but it ib hoped not dangerously wounded; they are up to this date (Jan. 29.) improving. The two children escaped with some slight bruises —now well. A negro woman was in the kitchen at the time; the kitchen wa9 blown down, the negro slightly hurt. The Tornado, was not as violent at the Dr’s , us at Mr. Bailey’s, but he lost every thing, except a few articles of clothing found in the track of the storm. The residence of the widow Moss was next struck by the Tornado. Here all was again one wreck and ruin. Every thing was tom to pieces. A tree was blown down on the chimney, around which the family were sitting. Mrs. Moss’ grand child was instantly killed, and a negro man a ho was in the kitchen was blown yearly one hundred yards, his clothe* blown off, dead and badly man gled. Mrs. Moss’ daughters, the two Mrs. Jones, were at her house at the time, and were both badly hurt. A son of Mrs. Jones was thought to be mortally woun ded, but hopes are now entertained of his recovery. The negro woman living at Mrs. Moss’, was also severely wounded. Four persans were instantly killed, and some ten or twelve more or less .wounded. The Tornado passed on Loth sides of Rev. J. L. K. Smith’s house, blew down his cribs, stables, shade trees, fencing, &c , but doing very little damage to his dwelling. It blew off the top of James H. Kinney’s shoe shop, blew out one of the pbtes of his dwelling, and otherwise 1 peered to pass on its way to the rich mi ning country farther beyond.

The Tornado at Mrs. Moss’ killed chickens—-blowing off their feath ers Some hogs and cats, and a dog, were killed by the terrible force of tbe wind. Indeed, it does not seem that any living creature could live in it* path. The trees were blown and torn down in every direction. Some were twisted to pieces, and even l*Tge roeks were borne along by the violence of the wind. The ground was swept perfectly clean—leave*, rails, and boards, were drifted up as though they had been washed there by a great overflow. 1 ” The trce**nd everything are marked with mad, and those who sur vived, as well as the kilted, were all cov ered with mad and sand.

C- Langdon, from which we take the following: A prominent radical remarked to a Southern man, a few days since, “If we could be assured that your Southern mem bers would not act with the Democratic party, they would be admitted to-mor row.” And here is the secret of the whole matter. It is cot principle, it is net the constitution, it is not the good of the country, which they are contracting for, but it is party, the preservation of party aseendancy, the perpetuation of party power. So long as the Southern States can be kept out oi the Union, just so long will power be retained in the hands ot the Republican party, but not one day longer. Hence the party neces sity of keeping them out indefinitely ; and this will be done, it it can be done. As ! remarked in former letters, the President can defeat their schemes, and I trust he will, ere long. But should we be disap pointed in this, we must wait with patience for the people to speak through the ballot box. I am assured that the people of the North will not sustain the action of this radical Congress; that when the issue shall be fairly presented between the pol icy of the President and that of the radi cals, the former will be sustained by an overwhelming majority. Our friends at the North are anxious that this issue shall be made, confident that it would result in tbe utter defeat and final overthrown of this ntischievious and unprincipled Black Republican party.
