(ieoma Legislature. Horse. Milledg! till*, Ga., November 14. In the House to-day, a motion was made to re-cohsfder the bill lost on Saturday to purchase corn for distribution ro the people of tbe several counties which have been over run by the enemy. which gave rise to 3ome discussion, and n-evaiied. The call of th- counties was kept in order and severa; bills introduced: To amend set ;ioo 199 of the code relating to Ordinaries 'residing in cases where they are interested. To relieve the Empire State Bank from any penalty for failure to make report to the Gov ernor, as required Oy law. To provide for the administration of estat s where the property has been removed on ac count of the inroadsof the enemy. To exempt Ordinaries from miiitia duty. To authorize Ordinaries to administer oaths. To renew the banking privileges of the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company. A resolution to adjourn the 23d instant, adopted.

To change certain county lines—gave rise to some debate and was rejected. To increase the fees of county officers 100 per cent — passed. SUPREME COURT. The Supreme Court commenced its session here to-day—all the Judgos present. Hon. H. W, Hilliard, formerly of Alabama, was admitted. Among the bar present, I notice Gen. Toombs, Col. Kenan, Messrs. Whittle, McKinly, N. J. Hammond, Seward, Bleckly, Hall, Scarbrough, Miller, Vason, Robinson, Briscoe, Platt, Morgan and Harrall. The docket is not very heavy and will be dis posed of in a day or two. SENATE. Ih the Senate, to-day, a resolution was offered to adjourn on the 24th proximo. A motion was made to reconsider the resolution adopted on Saturday, tendering the thanks of the people of Georgia to President Davis. Ruled out of order, as the resolution had been ordered to be sent to the House immediately after its adoption. The following bills of the House were passed : To authorize the City Council of Columbus to erect a market house in one of the streets of the city, and to provide, regulations to govern the same To extend the time for the settlemement of Tax Receivers until the first of March next. To provide remedies for sureties in certain cases. House resolution to adjourn on the 24th proxi imo, was taken up and argued at some length and adopted. House resolution to bring on the election of State printer on the 17th proximo was con curred in. It is very gratifying to see so general a disposi tion to get through with the public business, and adjourn at an early day. The Financial Committee is earnestly engaged in devising ways and means to carry our old State through the difficulties and dangers which threat en not only her credit but her very existence, and it is believed that her welfare will not suffer in their bands. Troup. From Atlanta. —A portion of the troops under General Iverson, says the Intelligencer. I3tb, attacked Atlanta at sunrise on the 9th inst. Col. Hannon, on the South, skirmished heavily with the enemy, driving them from a redoubt. His loss was one killed, fifteen wounded and fc ur missing ; that of the enemy unknown ; a number of dead were left on the field. The enemy being largely reinforced, Col. H. retired. General Lewis approached within four hundred yards of the breastworks on the East side and opened with artillery, -driving the enemy inside. They showed a tolerably good line along the breastworks and it was not deemed prudent to push the attack. Gen. Lewis sustained no los3. Gr.s. Lee’s Vigilance. —Grant pays our matchless leader a great compliment in his ! despatches, giving an account of the recent ; reconnoissauce in force upon our lines. He says that he found “every point in trenched and the works of the enemy manned.” Butler, too. he says, made a swoop around on the Yorktown road, “without finding a point unguarded.’’ This, says the Lvnchburg Virginian, -is not a very encouraging state of affairs for the en'-my. m l gives but littie to that the ‘•on to Richmond'' mov ment will be success j ful. Dashing, like u mad bull, upon our lines : first on one side and then on the other of the * James river, endeavoring in vain to steal a march upon our wary leader, Grant is com pelled to acknowledge that his plans are all anticipated by his master in the art of war, and tha: Lee ha* guarded “everj poiut. ’ — Hating 4,, f1t our lines’ and found them all guarded : and having been repulsed in bis re j ! cebt with terrible loss, the redoubtable hero of Vicksburg finds himself considerably j “set back and gives cold comfort to bis mas l ter at Washington. This admission wrung from him. should be consoling t» our people. Confederate Cengieis. SENATE. Wednesday, Nov. 9, 1864. The Senate met at 12 o’clock M. Prayer by the Rev. T. V. Moore, of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Garland,,,of Arkansas, presented a joint resolution of his State relative to the sale or barter, under certain restrictions, by exempted farmers, of so much of their produce as ne cessary to purchase salt, iron, etc., for their farms or plantations. Referred to the Military Committee and ordered to be printed. Mr. Garland also introduced a bill fixing the salaries of certain civil officers in the Trans- Mississippi Department. Referred to the Fi nance Committee. Mr. Hill, of Georgia, offered the following, which, after some remarks by different mem bers, was agreed to : “ Resolved , That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire and report what additional legislation if any, may be needed to secure prompt payment of dues to the army.” The foliowring, by Mr. Hill, was agreed to: Resolved, That the Finance Committee in quire into tin- expediency of providing, by law, for the receipt, in payment of taxes and other public dues, of certificates and stated accounts, given by the authorized agents of the Government for property and supplies im pressed or purchased for the use of the army and Government.” Mr. Sparrow, of Louisiana, offered the fol iowring, which was agreed to : “ Resolved , That the President be requested to communicate to the Senate, “Ist. The number of persons exempted from military service on the several railroads with in the Confederacy, designating the uumber so exempted on each road, and the number of miles of each road ‘in actual use for military transportation', and further, if the presidents or superintendents of said roads have made monthly returns in regard to exemptions there in, as required by law, and if any have failed to do so, the names of such officers and the roads to wriiich they belong. “2d. The number, and their-names, of all persons exempted in cases where railroads have fallen into the hands of the enemy and a portion of the rolling stock of such roads is being used on other I’oads. “3. The number of persons, if any, which have been detailed for duty to assist in re pairing or running any roads, or in repairing or taking care of the rolling stock on, or be longing -to, any of said railroads. “4th. The number of persons exempted or detailed for express or telegraph companies, designating the number to each. “sth. The number of persons exempted from military service under tbe provisions of the act, approved April 14, 1863, entitled ‘an act to exempt contractors for carrying the mails of tiie Confederate States and the driv ers of post-coaches and hacks, from military service.’ “6th. The number of persons exempted or detailed for agricultural purposes who have given bonds to furnish supplies, as provided by la w.” The following, by Mr. Orr, of South, Carolina, was agreed to: lie#olve<l, That tbe Committee on Finance be instructed to inquire and report if any, and what, additional legislation is necessary to secure the owner or hirer a credit upon the amount of their taxes equal to the tithe produced by the hirer or owner, provided such discount does not exceed 5 per cent.” The following, by Mr. Henry, of Tennessee, was agreed to : “ Resolved, That the Committee on Military Af fairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of repealing that clause of the ‘act to organize forces to serve, during the war,’ approved ljth of April, 1863, which exempts from military ser vice one person* as overseer or agriculturist on each farm or plantation upon which there are now, or were on the Ist of January last, fifteen able-bodied field hands between the ages of six teen and fifty ; and also the whole of the second section of said act, which provides that the Presi dent be authorized to grant details when, in his judgment, justice, equity and necessity require such details.” On motion of Mr. Sparrow, the report of the Secretary of War, was ordered to be printed. Mr. Henry offered the following, which was agreed to: “Resolved, That it is sound policy, on the part of the Confederate States, to impress or hire, with the consent of their owners, as many negro slaves as the public necessity may require for any num ber of years, or during the war, to he employed in all positions in the army except as soldiers in tho field upon paying the owners thereof a just com pensation ; and that it has the constitutional power to do so.” On motion of Mr. Hill, the Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House was opened at 12 o’clock, with prayer by Rev. Dr. Duncan, of the Methodist Episcopal church. The Ouair laid before the House a communica tion from Hon. Augustus 11. Garland, of Arkan sas, tendering a resignation of his seat in the House of Representatives, he having been elected to i he Confederate Sonate. Laid on the table. Mr. Baldwin, of Virginia, introduced a resolu tion of inquiry as to what had been done under the resolutions of last session in regard to repor ting the debates of the House of Representatives. Adopted. ; Mr. Miles, of South Carolina, introduced a bill to establish a general army intelligence office.— Referred. Mr. Swan also introduced a resolution instruct ing the Military Committee to inquire into the ex pediency of providing, by law, for the removal irom danger of all able-bodied adult male negroes as the territory may be occupied by the public euemy. Adopted. Mr. Foote, of Tennessee, offered the following resolution : “ Resolved , That the recommendation contained in the President’s message to Congress which vests in the military authorities the power to de tail such editors and other needful employees of newspapers as they may consider proper for the conduct of said papers, and put ali others in the military service, is one which this House can by no means approve.” Mr. Foote had hopied that some Virginia gen tleman would have made the first more in- this matter, hut it had not been done, and he felt bound to say something on the subject. George Wythe ha I said, in the Virginia Con vention, more than half a century ago, that met for the e nsider.ition of the Federal Constitution, “that the fieedom of the press was on 9 of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, and should not be violated.” Mr. Foote denounced the proposition to detail editors as tyrannical, and an attempt to mnzzle the press. Abraham Lincoln would not have dared to send in such a proposition to the Federal Congress. As for himself (Mr. Foote), he would never give his consent to any such measure as to put the pre-s under the power of the President Mr. .Marshall, of Kentucky, endeavored to modify the resolution soas to declare that the present limit allowed to exemption of members of the press is sufficiently narrow, and ought not to be altered ; but Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi, re fused to permit the matter to be further discussed, and it was referred to the Military Committee. Adjourned. mm • . Bank of England.— Kirkham Dan Hodg son is -Governor** of the Bank of England.— Tue Bank has branches in the following cities : Birmingham, Bristol, Hull, Leeds, Liecester, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Plymouth and Swansea.—ll. Ir. lizard Solnif So far as the Senate is concerned, the Geor gia Legislature has placed itself rectus incuria before the country. A resolhtion. reiterating the pledge of the General Assembly, that Georgia favored a vigorous prosecution of the war until the es tablishment of CoufeJerate independence, hav ing heen introduced by Mr. West, Mr. Ezxard, of Cherokee, proposd the following amend ment: Resolved, That the General Assembly re commend. that our Government make to the Government of the United States official offers of peace on the basis of the great principles declared by our fathers in 1776. Resolved, farther, that our Senators and Representative in Congress be requested to H3e their influence to stop this unnatural strife, looking forward to the time when peace may b* obtained upon just and honorable terms. We are happy to announce that but a single vote endorsed this substitute, and that vote came from its author, Mr. Ezzard, of Chero kee Tittlebat Titmouse overthrew the adminis tration in'the British House of Commons, by imitating the vociferous clarion of the chicken cock. Mr. Ezzard, of Cherokee, less fortunate than Titmouse, has only the echo of his own crow for peace. Will this eternal shriek for a General Conven tion never cease ? Will earnest men never under stand that every bid of this sort for affiliation with the North is received in those hyperporean regions with sheuts of derision and as a token of the wauiDg fortunes of our struggle ? The Ala bama Legislature adopted a disgraceful resolution of similar import to this of Mr. Ezzard. What is the consequence ? All over the North the press spreads the news with flaming capitals, as “An other AVail for Peace.” Let, then, these weak brothers who shudder at bloodshed and hope for quiet by log-rolling conventions, understand that their frothy ejaculations and ill-timed res olutions are valued fc the realms of Abraham only as so many evidences of our despondency, and as so many arguments for smiting the more heavily. We believe that this great State of Georgia has no idea of submission, just as strongly as wg be lieve that all such rhodomontade as Mr. Ezzard’s is but submission in ambuscade. Let the Governor’s message go to that tomb of the Gapulets—the public archives. Let Mr. Ezzard and such as he remember that little scrap of his tory which relates to Tarpeia. She betrayed a city to the Romans in consideration of the brace lets which they wore on their arms But when these warriors entered the city, despising her treachery, they crushed her with their shields instead of their bracelets. Let the Convention ists beware. They think to barter our liber ties for a bracelet. They will get the buckler and with it—the sword.— -Ait/jasta Oonstitntion alist. Yankee Presidential Election. [To the Editor of the Whig.] Wilmington, Nov. 1, 1864.—The newspa pers are all wrong about the Northern elec tion. I write this just to put my opinion on record, so that you will not say I am only wise after the fact. McClellan will beat Lin coln. He will get more votes ;he will not get the presidency without fighting for it. Lin coln and his party will maintain that there can be no election short of the Constitutional majority ot the whole electoral college. The President of the Senate, if McClellan gets more votes than Lincoln, will declare no elec tion. The House is in the same situation—no one can get eighteen States. Lincoln will, therefore, hold over. The Democratic party, sustained by a popular majority, will resist, and there will be civil war in the North. Then will be our time to make an arrangement. The Democrats, in return for our assistance, will make any terms with us for peace. Do you see the point ? It will so happen if McClellan beat Lincoln in this election. My only fear would be, that McClellan, who is a 3pooney, may be too weak to head the movement. But I have no doubt that the Democrats nomina ted him in order to avail themselves of his military prestige and talents when armed re sistance becomes necessary. In referring to this prediction of its correspon dent, the Whig recurs to the statistics of the con test oi 1860. In that election Lincoln obtained in the free States, with Delaware, Kentucky, Mary land and Missouri added, 1,860,528 votes. In the same States the vote against him was 1,968,146, making a popular majority against him of 10.3,- 62.3. But of the 214 electoral votes in the same States, he obtained 168. The electoral college of those States now numbers 223, to which the Yan kees add 5 for what they term “ West Virginia,” 3 for Kansas, and .3 for Nevada, makiug 234. Necessary to a choice, 118. But the constitution requires that a majority of the electors for all the States composing the Union are neeessary to a choice, and the Yankees in>ist that the sdceeded States are still in the Union. Os course, then, to constitute an election, the majority must be more than half of the number which would arise from including the seceded States in the count. This majonity Lincoln is not likely to obtain. Will the Democrats permit him to claim an election based upon a repudiation of his own theory, that no State is or can be out of the Union? We shall see. The Albemarle.—A Yankee letter, speaking; of the destruction of the Albemar.e, says : The great mailed monster that has so long ex- i cited the apprehensions of the Navy Department, and held in the sound a force greatly in excess of 1 that which was usually stationed there, now lies quietly at the bottom of the Roanoke river, a sub ject of curious contemplation and dread to the fish that frequent these waters. In the squadron every one feels a sense of relief in realizing the fact that the Albemarle is no longer afloat or ca pable of doing much damage ; for it is no eecret that she was one of the toughest customers for wooden vessels to confront that has yet floated.— Her raid on the flotilla on the sth of last May proved that fact beyond a shadow of doubt.— She then encountered and fought to great advan tage, three heavily armed doubla-onders—the Sas sacus, Mettabesett and Wyalusing—and retired only after a prolonged contest ; slightly damaged. While she floated no post held by ug and accessible to her was safe. She eould go her way as she chose, in spite of the efforts of our wooden vessels, unless some accident occurred to her which would prevent her steaming. Nofte of the light draft monitors were ready to confront her, and she threatened to clear our forces out of the State of North Carolina. ♦ » ♦ The Tallahassee at Work Again.—Prov idence, Nov. 2. —The schooner Goodspeed. Captain Baxter, of and from Boston, via Newport, for Philadelphia, was boarded by the pirate Tallahassee seven miles south of Block Island, and scuttled. The captain and crew eseaped to Block Island in a boat and reached Newport. The captain reports that the Tallahassee scuttled another vessel within a short distance, and the crew of the privateer said they had the crews of three other vessels destroyed within a few days. The gunboat Marblehead left Newport in pursuit this eve ning. ♦ ♦ ♦ Lincoln has appointed Butler to protect public property in New York. Very good appointment. The Beast knows how to take care of other people s property “about as well as any other thief.” A wag offered to bet the other day that Lincola would carry Massachusetts.

It is at Nashville, November sth: On the 3d instant, the rebel army, under Hood, attempted to cross the Tennessee river i the mouth of the Hiuewater, and were re i pulsed by the Union army, under Geoerf.l .Sherman, with considerable loss. -As it is well known in Richmond, says the Dispatch, that General Hood has crossed the Tennessee river, and without a tight too, w« may put the above down he an election dis patch. Upon the strength of thi9 telegram, the Herald has the following: General Hood has been defeated with con siderable loss in his first attempt to cross the Tennessee river. The point chosen for this movement is between Decatur and Florence, I at »he head of the Muscle Shoals of the Ten ; nessee river. It appears from our correspon j dence that General Sherman has sent the j Fourth corps to Decatur to operate against Hood, while, with the remaining five corps of bis army, he has moved to Atlanta, and is, in all probability, about to inaugurate an offen sive campaign from that point; thus ignoring, for the time, the existence of Hood, or leaving him to prosecute his campaign into Tennessee at his leisure. The rebel accounts, which we publish in connection with other important matter, give interesting accounts of Hood previous to the battle. This correspondence is dated at Rome. Georgia, on the 30th ultimo. It says that it is understood that the Georgia militia is being gathered to attack Atlanta, and adds : Now, Sherman is averse to permit Hood to have the planning of his fall campaign ; and so. day before yesterday, he broke up camp west of Rome, and while the took up his line of march for Chattanooga, the tread ed southward for Atlanta, where they will ar rive November 1 or 2. Sherman therefore ignores the existence of Hoc.d e army to the extent of five heavy corps, which, we may be sure,* will not be idle. The Fourth corps, Gen. Stanley, will be in Deca tur, Alabama, by the time this reaches you. It proceeds on foot via Lafayette and Rossville to Chattanooga, where trains for Decatur await it. . The paymasters have reached Atlanta, and will pay tbe troops there before they embark in any further movement. The late pursuit has convinced Sherman that he can move a great distance into the enemy’s territory and subsist mainly on foraging. Hood, hereafter, will fight troops under com mand of General Thomas (who is still at Nashville) if he fights at all, and there can be nothing comforting to the enemy in the state ment that he will find an army of United btates soldiers competent to prevent him treading the soil of Tennessee to a reckless extent. Lively Times on the Ocean Wave. —lt would seem from the reports in the Northern papers that a perfect avalanche of new Con federate “pirates” has descended on the Yan kee shipping. The New York Post contains the following : “Another rebel privateer, the new steamer Chickamauga, escaped from Wilmington on the 27th of October, and is now cyi our coast, capturing and burning American ships. Her commander is Lieut. Williamson, of the Con federate Navy. This new privateer is a screw steamer, painted pea-green ; fore and aft schooner rigged, masts short, without top masts, and with two smokestacks. She car ries an armament of three guns, one 32- pounder and two 24’s, and is manned by a crew of one hundred and fifty men. Her offi cers say that she ran out from Wilmington. N. C., on the night of the 27th ult., together with one other armed steamer.” The crew3 of the ships Shooting Star, of New York ; Mark W. Potter, of Bangor; and Emma W. Hall, of New York, all arrived in New York on Friday, their vessels having been burnt by tbe Chickamauga. On the same day the crews of the bark Therese, of Baltimore ; schooners A. J. Bird,of Rockland: E. F. Lewis, of Portland, and Antelope, from Matansas, arrived in New York, their vessels having been burnt by the Confederate cruiser Olustee, Lieutenant Ward, of the Confederate States Navy,"commanding. Os this vessel the telegraph says : “The Olustee is an iron screw steamer, of eleven hundred tons burden, schooner rigged, two smokestacks, two screws, and very fast, painted white. She ran out of Wilmington on the night of the 20th. In passing the blockaders, she received a shot in her bow. which went through her. Several ofthe cap tives, in conversation with the crew, learned that there were four steamers of the same class on the coast; all out of Wilmington and English built.” The Tallahassee had not been heard from for a day or two. The Springfield Republican is a Lincoln paper. Let our readers (says the Constitutional Union; and all friends of the soldier read and remember what that Lincoln paper says of Mr. Lincoln’s conduct to exchange prisoners. Here it is : “We might recover all our white soldiers now in rebel hands by the proposed exchange, and yet hold a large balance as hostages for the colored soldiers while their status is in controversy. If, under circumstances, the leaving of thirty-five thousard white men to suffer and die at the rate of one hundred per day is not practically in the eyes of both God and men—murder, murder, mur dfr, MURDER, what is it ?” m - * The New York Herald says Sherman is com ing back to Atlanta to inaugurate an offens ive campaign. Well, it would be rather offensive if anything like his last. Indeed, we do not know of anything more offensive un •less it be—his breath. The Yankee dispatches say “gunboats from Paducah are now in sight.” \Vhen Forrest's gunners get a “sight” on them we predict tbey will follow the Johnsonville and go ‘out of sight.” By Ellis, Livingston & Cos ON Thursday. 17th November at 11 o’clock, we will sell in front of our store i A Likely Negro Woman, 35 years old.
