Tuesday'Morning, March 13, 1806. The Georgia Citixrh :—W© Lave been pleas eJ to receive the Daily Georgia Citizen. Dr. An drews knows how to publish a paper,and we hope that be will abundantly succeed in his enterprise. The Citizen is a handsome sheet—thoroughly new —very readable, and is sent to Daily subscribers for $ 10,00 a year—$1,00 per month. Et tu Brule! The Nashville Press and Times, a genuine red mouthed Jacobin of the Tribune stamp, says that Provisional Gov. James Johnson of Ga. had an interview with President Johnson a day or two ago, on which occasion Mr. James Johnson infor med the President that the people of Georgia were still malignantly rebellious, and that more troops ought to be sent to the State to keep the people in subjection and preserve order. Now, we do not know that James Johnson ever said any such thing to the President. If it be true as stated by the Press and Times, that a Georgian demands oppression and still deep er degradation for his fellow-citizens, tha( man deserves the execration of mankind and the scorn, contempt and undying hate of every white roan, woman and child in the State of Geor- gia. Wo hope, for the honor of the State, and the reputation of the Provisional Governor, he will give the lie direct to the damaging statement of the vile Jacobin print at Nashville. Advertising—To Business Men. It is rarely the case that a merchant, or any other business man dea’ing with the public, gets rich without advertising a great deal- ffm B. Astor, Barnum, Stewart, (now worth 25 millions) have all expressed their opinion to the woild that liber al advertising—that is, constantly keeping be fore the public their .siness—has, second to their energy, most contributed to their immense success. Come nearer home. Look at the mer chants and business men of Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta and Macon—the men who have amassed large fortunes—in every case you will find their names and their business prominently before the public in all sections where their business extends. The money they pay ont for the use of newspaper columns, yields a greater interest in proportion to the amount, than any other investment they make. Our people read the papers whether they they subscribe for them and pay for them or not. If they see a man's names constantly in the ad vertising columns they conclnde he is doing a good business—and it is singularly true that we all patronize those who are doing well, in prefer ence to those who are not. Why it is so, we are not here to answer. But so it is, and will ever be. Let no business man be afraid to pay out a por tion of his profits to the printer; he will be snre to get it back again, with interest. lirgivlalarf. By joint .resolution the Legislature will adjourn sine die on to day, Tuesday, March 13th. Among the important measures actea od during the post week were THE STAY LAW. This bill was vetoed by the Governor, but immediately passed over the veto, in both houses, by an almost unanimous vote. It may be unconstitutional, but hundreds of unconstitutional things were done du ring the war, and it was these that made the Stay Law absolutely necessary to save our impoverished peop’c from hopeless beggary. Arsenic is a very unhealthy medicine, hut there are times when its ad ministration has a wholesome effect on the animal economy. It will never do to turn the Sheriffloo6e on the people now. Not one man in ten has property enough left to pay all his debts, hut if allowed to pay a part every year, he can with economy and energy save both his creditor and him self from ultimate injury, perhaps ruin. THE HOMESTEAD BILL. A substitute, for the original Bill, repor ted by the conference committee, has been adopted. It exempts about double the amount of property at present exempted by the Code. If it becomes a law, we will publish it in our next issue. It is the general opinion that the Governor will veto it, as it is more open to the. objections ur ged by the Governor, than the Stay Law.i Q of j e Passed. Proceedings of the legislating* HOUSE..

We cannot let the occasion pass without ex pressing our deep regret that this able defender of the rights of the States, and the Constitution of our fathers, should have been driven from his seat in Congress by tbe party in power To make way for Mr. Washburn, his political opponent, Con gress has decided the claim of Mr. Voorbees to his seat unfound.nl: Though fairly elected by his constituents of the Eighth Congressional District of Indiana, Mr. Washburn was deemed the better man for the Radical majority. We have for yeare past, published all the great intellectual efforts of this distinguished man, commencing with his de fence of Cook, on the John Brown trial—on w hich occasion he only appeared to ask the mercy of the Court in beflalf of the extreme youth of his client —and on all other occasions, when he appeared as the advocate of justice, right, and the princi ples ol Republican Government; and we have never been able to supply the readers of this pa per with as many copies of Mr. Voorbees' speeches as they desired. This of its'lf, is evidence of the power and popularity of Mr. Yooihees in this sec tion of the couutry. These are cruel times. The best men are ostracised, and driven iufo exile by the mere will of a remorseless fanaticism. The day will come, and is not far off, when retributive justice will mete out to these vindictive politi cians the mensnre of their evil deeds. Mr. Voor- heeswill, in less than two years stand where he lately stood, re endorsed by his constituents, and free to labor for the rights of tho white man and the fundamental principles ofRepublican Govern ment. For the present—he may rest content: “For more true joy Marcoilus exiled feels, Than Cresar with a Senate at his heels/’ Sale of Hlalc Property. We invite attention to the advertisement of P. M. Compton, Com’r on the part of the State of Georgia, and Messrs. Divine, Jones & Leo, of property owned jointly by tin so parties. This is valuable property, and we need only call attention to the same. Read advertisement in another column. A Great Evil which Ihe People should cor- •, ... cecfc It is well known to all those acquainted with legislation, that a great proportion of the most importaut bills are passed iu the two or three las* days of tbe Session. This is always, and per haps, necessarily tbe care. But it is not perhaps si well known to the people, that all these impor tant bills are passed after n large number of the numbers have gone home. It is a fact, a large portion of the members go hams before the most importaut business of the S.-.ssion is disposed of. Members draw their pay for the whole Session, and leave, some one, some two, and seine three weeks before the close of the Session. When the people of a county or district elect a man to rep resent them, they expect of course that he should he there during the Session. But when the mc-st important laws are made, many counties and dis tricts are not repres d. We know that men are some times cullc„ home by providential causes. These have a good excuse for their ab sence, and wfde not wish our remarks to apply to them- We mean those who go home without any good excuse. Tbe people hereafter should make a special contract with their representatives that they shall stay until tho close of the'Ses sion. unless providentially called home. THl{ COUNTY COURT. This is an important measure. It has been passed in both houses, and awaits the signature of the Governor. He will no doubt approve the hill. THE APPROPRIATION BILL. This measure has also got through both Houses. It will receive considerable at tention from the press aud the people. It scatters tbe public funds with a lavishness inappropriate to the times and the con dition of the people. Thousands of dol lars are paid away for little' offices that are about as necessary as a fifth wheel would be to a wagon. When the people come to swallow this pill they will make ugly faces, and produce a disturbance that may npset the equanimity of the Senators -and Representatives who voted these ap propriations. BANK RELIEF. This measure was defeated. There were merits iu the hill that recommended it to our favorable consideration. But it is too late to touch upon them. The re- suit of this legislation, will be much dis honesty, some hardships, and many absen ces from this part of the country. Men will not see their property sold to pay a gold dollar to a sharper who paid only ten cents for the Bank bill asked to be redeem ed.

Johnson's Mission, to Wash ington City, on behalf of the citizens of Columbus, has had some result. He has written the following to the Mayor of Columbus: Washington, D. C., March 2, 1866. Hon. F. G. Wilkins: Dear Sir : I have had a short in terview with the President, the Secre tary of War and Gen. Grant, in rela tion . to the removal of the colored troops. I was assured by Gcd. Grant that so soon as he could substitute other troops, they should be removed from the interior of the State; that, in fact, such an order had already been issued. Yours truly, J. Johnson. CONGRESSIONAL. Washington, March 9th, 1866.—The House hill securing civil rights to all per sons without regard to color, in all the States, was referred hack to the Judiciary Committee. Many Republicans disagreed as to the Constitutional power to pass it iu its present shape, believing that it in vaded to a great extent the rights of the States. The Senate discussed the Constitution al amendment apportioning representation among the States. Mr. Henderson offered a substitute de claring that no State, in prescribing quali fications for voters, shall discriminate on account of color or race. He said his own State. Missouri, would give negro suffrage, and that tbe whole South would be com pelled to do so In five years. Tbe substitute was disagreed to, and tbe original resolution then rejected by a vote of 25 to 22. Mr. Sumner aud other Radicals voted against it. SENATE. Mareli 8th.

Sterea’s Taller Gal on the Rampage! The editor of the Lancaster Pa., Inteli- gencer is in imminent danger. Hear what he say8 : Yesterday afternoon we were favored with a visit from a “lady of high degree” in this city. She claims to stand high in social life, and is of the fashionable hue— about the color of a new saddle. She has long presided over the household affairs of that grim old Mephistophelean septuagena rian who so admirably iepresents the sparce negro population of Lancaster coun ty, and so completely misrepresents the voters of this Congressional District, by ignoring everything that seems to have any relation to tbe white race. We are proverbially polite, especially to the ladies. Being a bachelor, we have an amiable weakness that way. Whether they may be maid, widow, or blooming matron, we are always at their command. Recognizing the voice which accosted us from behind as that of a female, though it was somewhat cracked, and a little harsh withal, we turned around with our courtliest smile.

This valuable MANURE has been before the agricultural public,under one name, for twelve years past, and its character for vigor of action and permanence in effect is well established. Be fore the war it was introduced to some extent in the Southern States, and was found to be highly adapted to Cotton, Tobacco and all Oops. And as a perfect substitute for Peruvian Guano, (afforded arless than one half the cost,) it lias been adopted by agriculturists of known intelligence and discrimination. It is warranted not to ex haust the soil, but on the contrary permanently to improve it. The sales now amount to many thousand tons annually, and the facilities for its manufacture are extensive and complete.
