SENATE.
in the Senate to-day, a motion prevailed to
reconsider the resolution to adjourn over ou
Saturday next anti! January ; which was taken
np. and # General Wright moved to amend by
adding "to adjourn to day, to meet in Augus
ta on Monday next. - which gave rise to some
discussion, and a motion prevailed to post
pone the resolution and amendment indefin
itely. So now i; is to be hoped that both
Houses will set toemselve? to worh eamestlv.
and dispatch the necessary legislation of the
country and go to their homes. Too much
time has already been wasted in frivolous and
irothy discussion.
HOUSE.
In the House on yesterday afternoon, the
following bills were passed :
To amend the oath of tax payers, and repeal
the clause requiring them to swear that they
have not refused Confederate money in pay
ment of debts : but provides that ail property
shall be valued in Confederate money on the
Is: of April, 1365.
Several hills were summaiiry disposed of,
and the House seems disposed to throw ail
unimportant and local measures from its cal
e ntiar.
Upon the oil! to reduce the number of Jus
tices of the* Peace, a runryag debate took
place, and on taking :ae vote the bill was
•lo*». •
aousH.
In the House to-day a motion prevailed to
reconsider the biil lost on yesterday to increase
the tees of county officers
Coi. Rawls, of Effingham, offered a very
strong and convincing resolution condemning
the plan o? enlisting negroes as soldiers in the
Confederate armies, bat advocated their em
ployment for all menial and other labor.
A motion also prevailed to reconsider the
bill to repeal the 350th section of the code in
relation to the fees of receivers of county
taies.
A motion was made to reconsider the bill to
reduce the number o: Justices of the Peace
and Constables to one in each county and was
discussed by Messrs. Wallace for. and Steph
ens against-, and on coming to a vote was
lost.
A resolution providing for the per diem pay
of members in Confederate money at its specie
value, by their relinquishing 5i5.50. was re
jected by a decided vote.
A resolution reported as a substitute for the
bill to prevent impressment of breeding cattle
declaring that cows under 12 years old and
one yoke of oxen to every 10 hands, was
adopted.
A bill to regulate the assessed value ot
slaves, requiring the Inferior Court to have
all slaves classified as to age and sex and their
value assessed and on the returns reaching the
Comptroller General, he shall strike the aver
age thereof, was passed.
A bill to re-enact the •• stay law ” was
passed.
Also to define the allowance ot widows and
orphans and the division of estates under
$-.00 in value to he distributed with ad
ministration.
Also to amend sections of the code
in relation to attachments and claim bonds.
Also in reference to the sale of fugitive
slaves.
Resolution to take a recess lost. Troup.

HOUSE.
Bills on their passage were taken up.
To provide for redaring the price of a. distilled
liquors to $1,50 per gallon and to punish viola
tions of the same. Lost.
To repeal all restrictions upon the distillation of
grain. Lost.
To change or repeat eertaia sections of the code.
Passed.
Would it not be better to introduce one bill to
repeal the code than to be eternally offering bills
to repeal or alter its previsions ? If the c tie was
so defective, why was it adopted ' Xo one know*
what are the statutes ©f Georgia. The code has
been so mutilated and changed that n- ere it«v
what its provisions are.
SEXATE.
The resolution was referred to the Judiciary
Committee apon the bill to relieve certain parties
from the operation of the iscome tax, which oc
curred from a misconstruetiet oi .-uch act. A
general bill was offered as a substitute reciarlEg
the true iniest and meaning of the Income Tax
Act, passed December 14th, 1563. Pr vries that
ali persons realizing profile from buy: and sell
ing any property, real or personal, a,, t making
profit thereby, are subject to the opera ti as of
said act. Passed. Troup.

HOUSE.
In the House to-day Mr. Overstreet moved to
reconsider a resolution lost on yesterday to pre
scribe in what funds the members and Seers of
this General Assembly shall be paid, upon which
a long discussion sprang up, conducted by Messrs.
Jones, of Burke, Wright, Stephens, Du£»_e and.
Moore. The motion prevailed ana a substitute
was offered, which was rejected by a decided
Tote. *
The senate resolution in relation t > proviaien
for the Atlanta exile* waa concurred in.

the distillation laws, so as to aiiow the manufacture *

A resolution was adopted calling in the Gov
ernor for iifomiti«a in relation t > what provis
ion had been made for the Ariant* exiles.
A message was received from the Governor in
relation to the feet that a number of able bodied
men had oeea kept out of the military service,
who were under bond to appear to answer for
criminal offenses, and recommends 'hat some ac
tion should be taken’Vi remedy the evil.

East Tennessee. —The Lynchburg Repub
lican of the 3d says : Qen Vaughns lit' e re
verse at Morristown ia-t week was a very
•mall affair He is again advancing his lines,
and will give a good account of himself when
he again encounters the enemy.
Tae Wash.. .{ton correspondent of the New
dork Hera' i says that Donohue and Ferrv
the agents in the recent election frauds, have
been convicted by the military commission
and sentenced to imprisonment for life. The
sentences have been approved by President
Lincoln, and wii. be immediately carried into
execution.
Hints to Correspondents.—W« endorse the
ideas of the Mobile Register, on brevity. As it
says, there is rarely, ia these lays, a theme that
will bear an essay of a column in length. Let
cerespondents think of it. Are they denouncing
Boyce, Stephens and Pursues ; let them bear in
mind thsft all our soldiers are heroes, and not
dwell too much on the gallantry of Major This,
or Colonel That, ©r even of Private So and-So—
that will keep if it is worth keeping' till the war
is over.
Did any es eur correspondents ever take the
trouble of reading one of Cicero's orations by a
watch ? If they will, they will find some of the
best of them less than half an hear long : the sec
ond Philippic, which was published bat never
spoken, is about two hours and a half long, bat
Cicero had better sense than to bore the ear of the
Senate with a speech so long as tast. Tne oration
fbr the Manilian law is the first be ever deliv
ered a ■/ Quir’UA , and longest (more than an hour)
—he learned better sense as he grew older. The
intel.eetuai iauit of our age and nation is verbi
age : the times admonish ns to correct it. Ret
non ttrba is the appropriate motto of the
press ic this emergency, and we implore our cor
respondents to heed it. If an idea can be ex
pressed in four words iastsai if five, we implore
them to strike ou: the fifth, if it be hut a mono
syllable : and as a general thing, to omit their
comments and permit the reader to make them
instead.
3lissoiri.—The most trustworthy information
about Missouri, says the Examiner, comes through
tne New \ork papers. It is now generally admit
ted that Price ha* not been defeated at all, and
has not been driven out of Missouri.
Toe Herman (Missouri, Volksblat, the late
FrenViUt organ, gives rent to his wrath over
the military an and political situation as follows :
“ 'Within the last three weeks the rebels have
inarched from Pilot Knob through our whole
state, plundering, murdering and destroying, and
none or our Generals have as yet succeeded ia
inflicting a severe defeat upon them. Many
millions worth of property has Price destroyed
within these three weeks, and, stolen almost as
large aa amount, and it seems as if he were not
only to escape with his plunder, but as if he were
also to retain possession of part of oar State for
some lime to come. And to whom do we owe all
th is misfortune." Nobody but oar aiministration
—our supreme rulers in Washington. Mr. Lin
coln has no time to attend to Msssoari—he must
devote ail his attention to the important business
ol his re-election : is not Missouri "comparative- -
iy quiet : 0 yes, if things ge on this way, Mis
souri will pretty soon enjoy the quiet of the grave,
and the once prosperous State will bent thing bat
a desert. Hurrah for Lincoln. The enthnsiaim
for Lincoln Increase; every day, but only amengst
the rebels. Rebel officers, whilst in our city of
Herman, advised our citizens to vote for Lincoln.
They -aid. " Lineoln is the right manand
cheered for -both Lincoln and Jeff. Davis."
The Fluff of Trace.
The steamer Beauregard again went down
with a Sag ot truce yesterday and a confer
ence took place, but witnout any noticeable
results. Our sick and wounded prisoners bad
do: ye: arrived at Port Royal, and Major Mui
ford. the Yankee Commissioner of Exchange
again -came up missing. Captain Hatch,
me polite and intelligent Commissioner on
our side, was a guest on board the Beaure
g -.rd. bn. tooi no part in the official interview.
It :s now supposed that the exchange will
not commence before the middle of next
week.
<Ye have no later news by this arrival, the
regular steamer from Xew York, though past
due. having not arrived when the truce boat
left Port Royai. To Mr. S. W. Mason, Eiror
of the "Palmetto Herald," published at Port
Royal, we are indebted for copies of his jour
nal bearing date yesterdav. It is filled chiefly
with extracts from -Rebel papers received bv
previous boats, and dismisses the Presidential
election in the Department with the remark
that -tee present Administration was sustain
ed by a majority of about nine to one. From
what we could gather, we conclude the -nig
gers' and everybody else took part in the
election.
Gov. Brown s .second Message, which was
received some days previous, seems to have
'-•een a delicious morse: tor the enemv. The
Herald devotes much of 1;? space to his pecu
liar views of men and things, and appears
perfectly satisfied with the document."" The
iankee officers spoke freely about it. and
seemed to consider it a fixed fact that -Brown
would taae Georgia out of the Confederacy,"
and that so illustrious an example would'be
speedily followed by other States, until the
whole Rebel concern would totter and fail.—
So much’or their opinion of a*, and the en
couragement they receive from the estraordi
ary course or our State Executive. For their
special benefit and information, we sh and pub
lish to-morrow the unanimous resolves of the
Legislature, who represent the people, and
have some consideration for political, decencv
and propriety.
The Beauregard will make another trip this*

_ Speeoy.— A correspondent from the armv of
Tennessee reports that during the first fourteen
:ay; of the campaign, commencing at the
Chattahoochee, an average march of nineteen
miles per day was performed, about thirty
rr.de; of railroad track torn up. aad over one
thousand prisoners captured. The march.
uU’.er the circumstances, was an extraordinarv
one. ’ 1
Great's Comiflf Campaign.
It may be pretty satelv assumed that the
campaign of 1864 is over in Virginia. The
arm; under General Grant s immediate com- ,
mani will, probably, attempt nothing further
of eotm-equenee this side of winter quarters.
After six’ months of unparalleled fighting, six
months fuller of sanguinary battle? than any
like period of this sanguinary war. Grant s
soldiers will take their hibernal rest. The ■
fifth day of November, '.eaves not much cam
paigning weather to be expected; but other
causes than the season bring to pass the pres
ent repose.
For many week? Grant has been very in
active. He hardly seems the same genera!,
who. in May and June, gave us almost as ma
ny battles as there were days. He is a sadder
and tamer mm. His late enterprises have .
been few and faint. The columns which he ,
massed for attack, in the early part of the
campaign, he now stretches along a fortified
line of great length, and he has aspired to
nothing beyond occasional attempts upon our
flanks.
Grant has long felt his inability to accomp
lish anything important against us. without
large reinforcements. For these he has been
waiting : and to supply them the draft was
ordered and hastened. But. notwithstanding
the call was for not less than five hundred
thousand men. and -the King s command ve
ry urgent, Grant has seen the weeks go by.
has seen the summer turn into autumn, and
sees the autumn changing into winter, and
still he lacks for men. His attempt of the
27th of Oct., has demonstrated even to him,
that he can do nothing without a large reinforce '
ment. He says he found us everywhere well
prepared, strong, and on the alert. There is
-now nothing he can do but to wait for new
levies : and waiting brings winter.
Grant endeavored, in his failure to obtain
the needed recruits, to prepare for prosecuting
his enterprise against Richmond, by consolida
ting his armies. For this purpose he hits de
sired to withdraw Sheridan from the Valley.
Indeed, he had already ordered him here with
his principal force, and two corps were about
to march, when Early made his attack at Ce
dar Creek. Although the final honors of the
day rested with Sheridan, yet its chief losses
fell also to his share. It was made evident,
too, that it would be extremely hazardous,
and, indeed, ♦uadmissible. to leave the Balti
more and Ohio railroad with a single corps as
its guard, in the presence of an enemy so bold
and enterprising as the Confederate army in
the Valley. Sheridans transfer, therefore,
became impracticable; and Grant, deprived of
all resource, had to content himself with such
attempt as he might make unaided. It was a
••reconnoisanee” from which he returned with
••valuable informotioa as,the moral and the
lesson from which he will now set himself
down to rest. We may have some noisy can
nonading : we may expect some small enter
prises : but substantially, the army of the Po
tomac and the army of the James have lain
down, two in a bed. for their winter * nap.
We are not without indications of the course
of the campaign of 1860 "the leading idea
has been plaiuly developed, and is confirmed
by many circumstances and signs. Grant de
signs to accumulate as large a force as possi
ble in his present position, and *oassail Rich
mond nex f spring with aii the power _:e can
cam-rand. In order to avoid distraction by
Coa'r ierate movements upon Washington, he
ga-~ > Sheridan the barbarous order to des
o.nte the Valley Regarding that as the line
or march upon Maryland, be resolved to make
it impracticable by making army supplies im
possible. In harmony with the same design
of removing aii danger of annoy race in North
ern Virginia, is the infamy of the course or
dered against Mosby. By barbarity against
the men of that command, and against t*e
citizens for their sakes, it is sought to drive
Mosby away, through the appeals addressed
■at once to the fears and the sympathies of his
men
This extraordinary desire to avoid hostili
ties in Northern Virginia, to secure which
result the basest barbarities are appealed to
and employed, evinces the great anxiety of
Gen. Grant to effect the concentration oi bis
whole strength against Richmond. Every ob
stacle to this must be removed at whatever
expense of personal honor, and by whatever
ou’rage on humanity and tae sentiment of (he
Christian world.
Taugbt by these exhibitions we see our du
ty. Richmond mast be pal in the highest con
dition for defence against the coming of the
spring. No labor must be spared on our de
fences. no skill be nes.ected ia contriving
them. We appeal to those on whom the
charge of such preparations may devolve, to
eX'.iibii the most ;,ee . ss activity and devo
tion. No work must be considered strong
enough i: ;t can be maue stronger. Nothing
must be coDsiderei complete if it can be im
proved or added o. This is the opoortunitv
for industry and engineering skill. T
er uar works the fewer men will be required
to hold them, and the i*rger the numoer to
resist flame movements. High and wide em
bankments. fronted by deep and wide ditches,
fringed with chevaux-de frise. and guarded m
advance by well arranged abattis. should
frown along our whole line.
Let Richmond itself prepare for the strug
gle. We trust it will not oe a gathering
place for those not compelled to oc- here by
their employment. Tae decks should be
cleared of whatever might .mpede tae fight.—
By the biessiag of Gou. we will disappoint
Mr. Grant again, and save our beautiful city :
bat we must get ready for the onset, and for
the trials it may bring.
Nor must the enemy be indulged in his de
sire to relieve himse;f of apprehensions in
Northern Virginia. Washington is a tender
point with h;m. The Baltimore and Ohio
ra.iro&d is a vulnerable point. Threatened bv
a small, enterprising force, it will require to
be watched and defended by & large force.—
We must have more Mosbys there, rather than
call away the present. We mast threaten
and we must strike in all that region, falling
on where leas: expected. A rule of war is to
do the very thing :*a; the enemy does not
w:sn. Then .et Mosby enlarge his numbers
ad increase his vigor, and be strengthened
by fit coadjutors, and Grant wi.l fce weakened
in his grand enterprise.
AH the winter is before us. in which to pre
pare tor the trial which will come with the
spring. We have time enough, bat none to
sp ire. The enemy will be diligent—we must
net oe less so. Any one cl*, ’bed with public
trusts who may fall short this duty here
on this deeply interesting occasion, will earn
for himse.f tue curves of his ccun'rvmen end
the execratian of history. He who efficiently
discharges his par: will win for himself a
proud name, and an ennuring gra~ u
tude and applause.— R,. 'h.mnd S- : r,i ■ \ ~
An opinion prevails at Richmond that Gen. Grant
will teave a portion of his army during the winter,
in his fortifications, and take the rest down South
against -n and Charleston, keeping the
W*;doß Road for communications ani using the
Newbern Road and the Norfolk Real to supply
himself from the rear.

Th’ unpardonable sin on earth has been
Committed by a human soul; and then
It rings a clang, a dole, a knell, unheard
By all save him alone whose hand has done
The deed—save him and God. To that one sou!
Its clanging peals announced the doom—
Undone—
Lost one, outcast, omJoac.'—Outcast from peace
And light and life, «jm ione ! —Outcast from love
And prayer and heaven, undone .'—Outcast from

And God, undone.'

The darkening air in shudders closes rouni
The universe: and Pity with a moan
Turns weeping from the doomed and lonely sou
And wanders out among the sobbing stars.
And Mercy does not bid him stay.
