Milledoeville, March IC, p. m., 1804. Nothing of much initere t transpired in eith er branch this afternoon. In the House, a resolution limiting the pay of Enrolling Officers of the militia to those subject to militia duty, was adopted. A resolution of complaint against the com missioners appointed by the Confederate Gov ernment to fix prices, was indefinitely post poned with great unanimity. Major Long introduced a bill to encourage the organization of a navy. This is the bill that was introduced at the last session by Maj. Bigham, and passed the House, but failed for want of time in the Senate. It is in accord ance with the Volunteer Navy'Bill of Con gress, and the Pioneer Volunteer Navy Com pany is'organized under it. and is fast being filled up by subscriptions from the best citi zens of the State. It is to this company that books of subscription have been opened in Augusta by Messrs. Atkinson and Shecut, and tho capitalists of Georgia need no arguments to induce them to invest in the enterprise. They secure 8 per cent bonds in Europe for all subscription in currency, and the promise of a rich harvest iii dividends, as well as a field for inflicting heavy blows on the enemy. A resolution relative to a mail route from Dublin to Mount Vernon, was adopted. A resolution to establish agencies for the sale of cotton cards, was lost, j] [A resolution to rcjquire tax payers to give in the amount of bacon and wheat made in 1863, was lost. A resolution to allow the funding of money on hand April Ist, 1864, in 6 per cent, bonds, was adopted, V -t? v 1 R: . ; : Resolutions in reference to tho late action of Congress were referred to the Judiciary Committee. A resolution that the Committee on Educa tion be instructed to report a bill for the or ganization of a free school system, to the next session of the Legislature, was adopted. A Senate resolution in reference to the form of Treasury notes to be issued by the State, was concurred in. The Special Committee on impressment and tmuspprtutxoin reported a resolution authoriz ing the Governor to tnfce tr*r ß employed, to transport provisions for the des titute entitled to it under the acts, of the last session, and if they are not sufficient, he may seize one engine and fifteen cars from eny road, or one steamboat from any company, for the purpose, paying just; compensation for the same. The resolution was agreed to. The House then adjourned until 9 o’clock to-morrow. In the Senate the bill authorizing the im pressment of railroads to transport provisions was under discussion. Mr. Speer supported the bill. Mr. West opposed it as unconstitu tional. It passed—ayes 23, nays o. The Senate listened to the reading of House bills a first and second time, and adjourned to 9 o’clock to-morrow. SPEECH OF HON. L. Q. C. LAMAR. Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, deliv ered an address in the State House to-night, on the sentiment of Europe in reference to the Confederate States, and on the state of the country. Mr. Lamar went to Europe ovei a year ago, and had good opportunities of ascertain ing tho sense of European opinions. He found the intelligent people everywhere candid in expressions of sympathy for the Confederates, and of admiration for the dignity and states manship of our rulers, and the valor, endur ance, and fortitude of our soldiers and people, but there were considerations of a political character operating to deter any official recog nition or intervention by the governments of Europe. Still the approval of intelligent European opinions was cheering. Gieat Britain was-sensitive of any act that should incur the hostility of the United States. France was deterred by the refusal of other powers to join her. Russia alone was openly in her partiality for the United States. The ignorant populace of Germany had been be guiled by Northern fanaticism and had sent recruits to the Northern armies. The Pope has declared our nationality an established fact. The financiers of London had taken the Confederate loan, while they refused to touch that of the United States, which was a finan cial recognition ot our national existence, and a substantial evidence ot their confidence in our success. Os the state of, the country Mr. Lamar was most hopeful, jfle reviewed the message of the Governor and the resolutions of Mr.'Ste i phens, proposing to rebuke the action of Con ; gress, and sustained the President, in an elab j orate review of the constitutional points in ■ voiced. He defended the suspension of the [ writ of habeas carpus n? constitutional and i proper, and commended the President to the | confidence and support of the people; elo | quently appealing to them to cease all bilker i ings, and stand ipanfully together in uAWiee I of all that is dear to a people. 1 He is an eloquent speaker, and was inspired by the associations which cluster around the home of his birth and early manhood. Hon. A. H. Stephens speaks to-night. -MiLLEpOF.vn.LE. March 16, 1864. The House was opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Flynn. Mr. Rarabo moved to reconsider so much of the journal as relates to the loss of a resolu tion of complaint against the Comuijssioners J of the Confederate Government to fix prices, which motion prevailed. Mr. Adams of Clark, moved to reconsider ' $3.50 Per Mouth. the Senate resolution, prescibing the form of Treasury notes to be issued under the act of October lL’th. 186:3. The Speaker decided the motion out of or der, and on an appeal for his division, by Mr. Adams, the chair was sustained. The llukse took up the bill to amend the several tax laws ot the .State. Mr. Adams of fered a substitute, that the basis of the valu ation of property be that of 1860, which was lost, —ayes 50, nays, 68. Afterfurther amend ment and di«cussion, tho bill passed. It provided that property shall be assessed according to its value in 1860, and that they be paid in the new Confederate currency, or in the old at odl per cent, discount. It ex empts property overran by the enemy, from taxation save of 1 cent per acre. A bill for the relief of Wilcox county, pass ed. It apjnopiates $4lB for the school mini due that county. A bill amendatory of the militia bill, passed. It relates to exemptions, and adds one edi tor and the necessary employees to each news paper ; Tax Receivers, and Ministers in the discharge of ministerial duty, to 1 lie exemp tions of the bill ot the last session. A bill to repeal the act of the last session, allowing tho Macon and Western Railroad company to increase its charges was discussed j at great length, in which the clmrges of rail roads were rather severely commented on.— Pending the discussion, the House adjourned to 3 o’clock P. M. In tho Senate to-day, Mr. Pottle introduced a set of resolutions, endorsing the action of .Congress on the habeas corpus act, ami other j measures. The following measures were introduced : A bill to incorporate the Merchants’ Insurance Company in Columbus. A bill ts incourage the fermatien of a volun- teer navy. A resolution in reference to the distribution of the laws and journals, was adopted. After reading up House bills, the Senate adjourned until 3 o’clock, P. M. From tiie Front. A correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy, writes from Dalton, thus : The troops have all been newly clad, and present a very fine appearance. To say that Gen. Johnston is idolized by the array, is but to give a just idea of their feelings for him. The ai my has been ronovaled throughout. The artillery has been organized into regiments and placed under the command of skillful offi cers, which will give new life and vigor to this valuable arm of the service. Murfreesboro’, Lebanon arid SholbyviUe, are garrisoned by negro troops, and negro schools for all nnaer iT, established throughout that country by the philahtnru pists of Yankeedoin. A general order has just, been published which prohibits an officer from crossing the guard lines except he has on his side arms, andjhen not exceeding a distance of live hun dred yards without a pass irpjn brigade head quarters. The main body of the enemy are in Chaitu nooga with a heavy force at Cleveland and Ringgold. The Atlanta Appeal of Tuesday says: Early Monday morning a detachment of Yankee cavalry came out to a mill, this side of Ringgold a short distance, but immediately fell back upon our cavalry making their ap pearance. No collision occurred. Officers who arrived from Dalton this morn ing report the greatest quiet prevailing in that vicinity. Gen. TToon’s Paktino Apprfss.—Annexed wo give Lieut. Gen. Hood’s parting address to his old division. Columbia, S. C., I eh. 22<1, 1884. —In obedience to orders, I am on my way to duty with the army of Tennessee. This involves a separation, ihe pain of which can only he realized by those who have fought and so fib red and bled together as we have done. I derive consolation, however from ihe hope that the interest oi the service will permit usagain at no distant day, to he re-united. Having witnessed the spirit and alacrity with which you have performed the hard duties ol' the soldier, your patience, endurance of fatigue and suffering, and having marked with pride your courage in battle, always the highest and most unquailing when the odds were greatest and the danger most appalling, I can assure you, my com rades, that there is nothing treasured in the past, nothing that hope can promise in the future, of which 1 am or can ho prouder than to have com manded such men. Remember, too, that your achievements impose upon you snperadded duties. Aon must not only acquit yourselves as soldiers, but protect the fame which you have won ; spurn as you ever have done the base suggestion of safety and case when your country is in danger. Safety is infamous, danger alone is honorable, and while you recur to the comforts and attractions of home, do m>t f.u get that upon the line where you now stand, that borne l>e it where it may, must be defended fumi desolation. A stern conflict is before us : other hardships must I>e borne, other battles foughi aud other bloodshed; but wo have nothing .to fear if we only prove ourselves worthy of independence it is ours, but our armies must deliver us. With them we must blaze a highway through our ene mies to victory and to peace. In the trials and dangers that arc to conw, I know you will claim an honorable share and win new titles to the ad miration and love of your country ; and in the midst of them, whether I am near you or far from you, my heart will til ways be there; end when this struggle is over, I shall look upon no -pe<-ta cle with so much pleasure as upon my old com rades, who have deserved so well of their country j crowned with its blessings and encompassed by its 1,, vo.
