After tho adjournment of tb* LrgUUtnre at a late bonrlast evening, a joint committee, con sisting of Meeam. Brown and Ktbbee, from the (senate. and Manna. Camming, Hall and Fon, of tbe House, wailed upon HU Excellency, tbe Governor, for the purpose of informing bizn ttiat tbe General Assembly bad passed a resolu tion prolonging its session. Senator Brown, chairman of tbe committee, addressed tbe Governor as follows: Governor, we are a committee appointed on tbe part of tbe House and Senste to notify yon of the paaaage of a resolntion of which I band Whereas, There are bat three days before tbs expiration of forty day* since tbe General Assembly convened; and. Whereas, The time aforesaid is tbe constitu tional session of tbe General Assembly unless the same is prolonged by a two-thirds vote of each House; and, Whereas, There is much bnsinees of import ance now lying upon tbe Clerk's table that can not be gotten through within the next three dsya, and to leave tbe same unfinished, much of tbe work of this General Assembly will be lost; now therefore be it Resolved, That the cession of this General Assembly be prolonged to Saturday, tbe Kith day of December, 1871, inclusive. The foregoing u s copy of e resolution adopt ed by the House of Representatives, December 8,1871. Jamb M. Smith, L, Caasnscrroir, Speaker House Hep's. Pro tan. Clerk House Hep's.

CaaawoTox. 1'ro tern elk House of Heps, bearing no evidence that the resolution itself bad been eoncurred in by tbe Senate. Governor Conley responded in substance as follows: Gentlemen, does this purport to be a resolu tion peased bjrs two-thirds vote of eacbHonso ? Tn* Cnauusaii—Yes, sir. Govxasoa Coxtar — Gentlemen, es you are aware, tbe preeent aeeeion of the Legislature expires, by Constitutional limitation, at tbe honr of I'/Vdock to-morrow night. I have bad no official Information (bat Uie General Aasem- bly haa passed a joint resolution extending ite session beyond tho forty days, as provided for in lb# Constitution. Am such resolution requires my approval, in tho same manner as an; other resolntion passed by a two- thirds veto, I shall wait until it is formally presented for my signature In tho usual way, and cannot reoognixe yau aa a com mittee for any such purpose. I will simply aay to yon, os individual mem. twrs, that I will not recognize any action by the Legislature, or bold any communication with it after tbe forty days bavo expired, unless tbe joint resolntion prolonging tbe session aa pro vided for by tbe Constitution shell be previously approved as required by article 3, section C, peragrapb 5, clause i of tbe Conatitntion, or piestd over my veto, Tbo section of the Con atitntion to wbioh I refer is as follows “Mo provision In Ibis Constitution for a two-thirds vote of both Houses of tbe General Assembly, shall bo construed to waive tbe necessity for tbe signature of tbe Governor, as in sny other case, except in tbe case of tbo two-thirds vote re qulred to override the veto.” Monster lirown—Tbst is my legs! opinion also, bat others differ with me upon tbo subject.

For nearly half a century the Georgia Telegraph and the Georgh Journal and Messenger, either separately or united, have been the great organs of general intelligence to this and the contiguous sections of Georgia and Alabama. In all the varied social, civil and political experience of this region during that extended and momentous period in its history, these old Journals have been the constant and familiar visitors of thousands of households in this vast area of country and have numbered their readers and patrons by successive generation? In the whole scope of this great Agricultural section of two of the most important Cotton States, the fortunes of these journals have varied simply with .the varying fortunes of the people, and to-day their eir 9 00 culation and hold upon the public confidence and estimation have never been exceeded at any period in their long history. Indeed as the demands upon newspapers became yearly more exacting—the expen ses of publication increase and concentration of capital and labor he come more indispensable, so, we are glad to say, our circulation and influence increase with equal steps. The former have multiplied more Caufomia woo I than tenfold in the last twenty years, and the circulation and business Fine Champagne $25 oo to 30 00 of the Telegraph and Messenger have increased in the same propor- Easdai’s Bitters 8 oo t j on ^y e rc j 0 j cc to believe that in no section of the United Stitoi; All other grades of Bitters kept. . - . uuutia lb All makes of Sported Ales, per dozen.. 2 701 therc a newspaper possessing a more complete occupation of its pecu liar field of circulation than do the various editions of the Telegraph and Messenger, within that whole region of country to which it can ioo.otw Segura, varying from i?. co to oo por l cgjr y ^ car ]j es t intelligence. Its circulation in gross we suppose to When leas than thirty gallons are sold to one man, some little extra charged for drawing, | n0 ^ exceeded by that of any newspaper ill tllC Carolmas, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, with perhaps a single exception, but its cir culation in its appropriate and particular field, is without an approxi mating rival. These arc the circumstances and this the condition which make the Telegraph and Messenger such a remarkably good Advertising Me dium. There is scarcely a family or individual doing business with Macon, within a radius of two or three hundred miles around the citv, who does not read the paper, so that an advertisement in its columns reaches all eyes. The Macon merchant can scarcely add a greater publicity to his business, among people who can trade with him, after he has advertised in this paper. The Northern or Western merchant or manufacturer can rely on the fact that by advertising in this paper he will address the whole mercantile, professional and agricultural population of this large area, and need go no further for that purpose. We are frequently in receipt of testimonials from advertisers of all classes as to the peculiar value of this newspaper as an advertising medium. And we are ready to place these advantages at the disposal of the public on the most reasonable terms compatible with* our expenses and circulation. Our policy is to encourage advertising by moderate charges; but it must be obvious to every man of common sense that we cannot multiply copies of advertisements by thousands, for the same price that others can furnish them by scores and hundreds. This point is better understood in the great commercial centres where ad vertising is valued and paid for precisely according to the scale of cir culation—where one paper will be cheerfully paid three dollars a line and another five cents a line for the same advertisement, according to their measure of circulation. The first furnishes paper, press-work and circulation for a hundred thousand impressions, and tho latter perhaps for a few hundreds. The contracts have all the difference which exists between a pound and hogshead of sugar; but both, it may be, print and circulate a merchant’s address to the public for less than half what a corresponding number of circulars or handbills would cost, which could have no other circulation than they might obtain from a range of limited personal acquaintances and mere fugacious • personal efforts. There can be no cheaper or better method of ad vertising than through the columns of a popular, widely circulated newspaper, which by long habit and association has become the daily source of information to all within the scope of country which fur nishes the trade of its commercial centre. All other expedients to communicate with the people are comparatively inefficient and value less. We place the Telegraph and Messenger before the public, as a certain, popular, and unrivalled medium of advertising communica tion with all that part of Georgia and Alabama which looks to Macon for its market or for the earliest news.

It is designed to contain a full and connected history of the I week, and although its great size is complained of by some, yet we find the whole space essential to the grand design of the paper. A family in possession of this paper need be ignorant of no important event in the world’3 current history, or miss any important idea or discovery of the times. In State news it covers the whole ground and gives all current events of importance in every county of Georgia.
