w *> sceepted the repeat of tho com
as well as amused, by tho perusal of pen and
ink sketches of some of its members. These
sketches were written in an easy and grace
ful style, devoid, on the one hand, of nnjust
censure, and, on the other, of venal and ful
some adulation. In imitation of the exam
ple thus set before me, I propose to give you
a hasty but faithful portrait of the Hon. Thos.
21. Carter, who represents in the senatorial
branch of the Legislature the district com
posed of the counties of Butts, Spalding and
£»kc- v.
Mr. Carter was bom in the county of Butts,
and appears to be about thirty-five years old,
is about 5 feet and 10 inches high—fair com
plexion—hair very black. His father, the
Rev. James Carter, was widely known, and,
wherever known, the influence of his “ godly
walk and conversation” was seen and felt.
I do not know that my subject is a member
of any church, or that be ever made a pro
fession of religion, i»ut iris love df truth, S*>d
bis honesty of purpose, which knows no fraud
are the legitimate fruits of the early teach
ings which he received at the hands of his
worthy sire.
llis features, when at rest, often seem to be
overcast by care or some shadow of sorrow,
as though be might be the victim of some
cruel disappointment in which some lady
fair may have borne a prominent part XT
such be the fact, he is entitled to little sytn
patliy at the hands of iadv friends, for *the
fault must be his that the “ aching void” has
not been filled.
He is strong and ardent in his attachments
but alow to lorm them. If he be yonr friend,
you may safely rely upon him in any enter*
gency. He will never betray a confluence re
posed. or leave you “naked to your enemies.”
As a Legislator, lie investigates closely all
questions upon which he may be called to
pass his judgment, and it is rendered without
regard to sectional prejudices, which charac
terize too much of our legislation. Ever
miudful of the interests of his own constitu
ents, be ceases not to watch with a jealous
care the welfare of the general community.
In debate, he is earnest but not vehement.
His propositions are stated with clearness and
supported by systematic and logical argu
mint. He seldom indulges in rhetorical dis
play, but addresses himself to the judgment
of bis bearers. In committee, his usefulness
is manifest and is accorded to him by bis as
sociates.
Mr. Carter is a lawyer by profession, but I
am informed that he is now engaged in
teaching school, witli the view ot replacing
bis law library, which was destroyed by “Mr.
Sherman's angels.” In 1861 he entered the
Confederate service, as Lieutenant in the first
company raised in Jackson, the place of his
residence. He participated in the battle of
SeTen Pines, in those of the Maryland cam
paign, at Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville
and Gettysburg, where, like almost ev
ery body else, he received a wound.—
In the second day's fight of the Wilderness,
be was taken prisoner, and was belri
a* such until some time after the close
of the war. Capt. Carter was one of the 600
officers selected by the United States author
ities and purposely exposed to the fire of our
own guns on Morris’ Island, in retaliation of
a fancied violation of the rules of war, on the
part of the Confederate authorities.
I am told that Capt. Carter has been an
nounced as a candidate for the office of
Solicitor General of the Flint Circuit. Ills
attainments as a lawyer—Iris well disciplined
mind—his firmness and his unbending integ
rity eminently qualify bint for that position.
In his brief careet as a Legislator, his public
virtues have been well tried, and he will not
swerve from any duty, which he may be call
ed upon to discharge.

A nodcl Congress,
As few of the Southern journals furnish full
reports of the proceedings of the Federal
Congress, wp suppose that one occurrence
which transpired on the “ opening day” has
generally escaped the attention of Southern
readers. And yet, the incident, contempti
ble in itself, is not without significance as in
dicating tho animus which pervades a large
portion of the members, and the reckless dis
regard of propriety, or even decency, by which
they are characterised. Of course, wherever
malignancy, spite and malevolence arc exlrib j
ited, Thad. Stevens is always the most promi
nent actor. The role held good in the in
stance nnder consideration. Whilst the House
was awaiting the reception of the President’s
message, Mr. Stevens sent a newspaper up to
the desk of the clerk, and then mo veil that the
messngo be read. The Speaker replied that
the message had not yet been officially com-
mnnicated to the House. Sir. Stevens remarked
that the message had already been printed,
and he moved that the House adjourn, as he
ha I no itit-n of waiting for tin* message alter
it had been sent a11 over the country. The mo
tion was lost. When the message had been
received, the facetious Thaddeos moved to
postpone the reading till to-morrow. This
motion was likewise rejected. Aftcrabout
two-thirds of the message had been read, he
again interrupted the Clerk, and stated, “that
as their friends—the Republican clubs, frecd-
men, eta, of Waslrington—were expecting
them outside on the Eastern portico, he moved
that the further rending be postponed till to
morrow.” On this proposition the vote stood
ayes 64—naya 66—being defeated by one
vote. The change of a single vote would
have pilloried the House of Representatives
lorevor, anil indicated a want of respect for
the Chief Magistrate of the Notion, scanda
lous in the extreme. The mere fact, that so
disgraceful a propos tion, exhibiting and in
tended to exhibit, tbc most insulting disre
spect to the President of the United States
should have been entertained, and that it
lacked only one vote of being passed, speaks
• ,n g os into contempt. We shall 1 louder then any words of the utter degeno-

The Franeo-Afexicau complication is engrossing
the attention of the public to such an extent as to

making it a matter of special communication to

is based purely upon military considerations, tbe

Abstract «f tke Report or the
SECRETARY OF THE U. S. TREASURY.
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury
shows that tbe receipts front’all the ordinary
sources of revenue, independent of loans, for
r lie fiscal year ending June 30,1866, were five
hundred and fifty-eight millions. For the
quarter ending September 30th, 1866, the
imount was one hundred and fifty-eight mil
lions. The actual income exceeded the esti
mates for the first three-quarters of this year,
beginning in Jnnuary and ending in June,
over ninety millions, and for the following
quarters in a greater proportion.
'The expenditures were two hundred mil
lions less than estimated for the fhcal year.
The enormous estimate of over three bund reel
millions was made for the War Department
before peace was fully restored, and while
the bulk of tho armies were in service. The
Department has expended only about one

this end we copy some well-timed a sensible

gold of California, while it will supply your
