Loth Houses of the Legislature, on yesterdav, donated one hundred thousand dollars to the suf ferers oy the late fire in Charleston. This is a no de act Every Georgian will say, amen. The Governor also recommended it. While according full justice to the Legislature and Executive for this prompt action in behalf of the suffering peo ple of Charleston, it is nothing mure than justice to say, that our esteemed fellow-citizens, Dr Tap mage, Col M. Grieve, and Mr Lane, of Hancock, were deeply enlisted in behalf of the donation, h or more than twenty-four hours they have given their personal influence and attention to the pass age of the section appropriating the money, and our whole community thank them fur their praise worthy acts. lie is beside Himself! Too mueh learning, or sail water, hath made him mail.

In taking leave ot the members o f the House, ... , , . , . , .. to„r Reporter returns his ackuoweldgements to We S ave yeste.day a brief abstract of the Jfer- ii.at body for the courtesies extended him on the j cury’s account of the fire in Charleston on the :>ir. He has endeavored to be fair and impartial night of the 11th iust. It is said to be the most iu his reports, and it at any time he has dune in- j destructive fire which has occurred to any South ern city. But whether that be so or not it is suffi ciently terrible to appal the stoutest heart; and every town and city throughout the Confederate States should make a contribution, as soon as pos- ustice to any, it has resulted from erroneous judg meat, or from the limited space to which his re parts have been prescribed. To the Clerks and the Speaker, lie acknowledges his especial in .irlitedness for their uniform courtesies in extend- :ng I'acililies which a reporter so often finds re- |iii-ite to the faithful discharge of his duties. lb- would he insensible to a becoming gallantry did i.i'iint return especial thanks to unde Jesse Oslm the id sprightly messenger, and Mr. Mitchell the expert anil efficient Door Keeper, for their pc *’ * iis lie; attentions. To all lie tenders his nest wishes, and iu-ts that the next session will find the country enjoy- j, the blessiugs of peace and renewed prosperity. CONFEDERATE CONGRESS. Richmond, Dec. 10.—Congress passed the fol ding Acts to-day, which were approved by the President: An Act authoriz : the war, such seamen, not exceeding mbt-r, as the exigencies of the naval service and the defence ot the sea coast , livers, and harbots n ay render necessary. An Act authorizing the President to appoint a sible, to relieve the suffering consequent upon this sad accident to the noble old city of our sister State. Public Opinion. A late article in the Macon Telegraph in relation to the election of Ben. Hill as a Confederate Senator has stirred up the wrath of our friend of the Savannah Republican, and he vents his spleen in the following manner: It considerations of harmony avail nothing, we hope a decent respect for public opinion will induce the enemies of Mr. Hill to cease their attacks upon him. rizing the President to enlist for Hisi defeat of confessedly hitherto the strongest man seamen not exceeding ‘2 0(10 in In,he State b . v « majority of two to one, m the Gen- ’ ^ ' eral Assembly of the State, is an expression of popular sentiment that deserves to .he respected.

Mr. Stephens . the conduct of a few men in the Georgia Legislature, was neither public opinion, nor any indication of pub lic opinion.

Johnson, the Provi sional Governor « f Kentucky, has issued a stirring and eloquent proclamation, calling fro- twenty companies ol Volunteers to repel the invaders. 1 he bridge across Wbipporwill Creek, on th'-Memphis branch railroad, which was recent ly partially burnt by the Lineoinites, has been replaced, and the trains are now running as usu- ould not have been elected. Harmony, indeed ! It is rather late in the day for the friends of Mr. Hill in the Legislature to talk of harmony, when, ever since they achieved his election, they have been pro moting strife, aud have been playiug on a harp of a thousand strings to make discord. The Bowling Green (Ky.,) correspondent of the Nashville Union and American of today, says that it i.i understood that Gen. Humphrey Mar- shall lias issued a proclamation to the people of Kentucky, in which lie says that the HomeGuards inusi join him, or fight him, as he will not leave thmi in his rear. 1 lie physiFans in charge of the hospitals here i-j"irt s great improvement in the condition of t t- path its during the past wetk—the combined eilei t ol good nursing and fine w eather. A telegraphic despatch, dated Rolla, Mo., Dec. 1-t. to ti e St Louis Republican, says that Gen I’riee, with Ifi.tMIU men. had ma''ched,on the 2!>th of Nov., into Kansas. The field ot bis future op- eiations will ba in the country betw een Lexington and 11.dependence. Those men who have deser- t 1 from the Federils are joining Price’s army. Hrn. Price's proclamation is unfavorably com tneuted upon by his sympathise rsin St. Louis— particularly that part which says that there are -T-in .ut.ij.opo worth ”1 Northern means in Missou ri, w hieh cannot be renewed. This is remarked as favorable for plunder. The proclamation in Oikvs a large number of persons to join the Con- frd-rates. Col. Akin'a Card. Our readers will see that the Honorable Speak er has thought proper to make an explanation of the remaiks he made concerning Gov. Brown’s message to the Legislature in relation to the trans fer of our volunteers for the coast defence to the Confederate government. We presume that very few men, after having read the message dispas sionately, will see anything in it to warrant the conclusion, that the Governor meant to use the volunteers against the Legislature. There is not a word in it intimating such a thing—nothing like a threat in the message. If there had been a single word in the message to warrant such a conclusion his enemies would have published it in all of the opposition papers; but they have ta ken great pains to keep the message from the people. The Representative branch of the Legislature refused to hear it read when it was received. And all their denuncia tions were made before they had heard it read, and before most of them knew a word that was in it. The objection that the Governor has no right to make a communication to the Legislature on any suhjecfupon which they are legislating, we think is preposterous. The Constitution makes t his duty, from time to time, to give them infor- CAPTURE OF YANKEES NEAR NEW OR j tnation on the state of the Republic, and recom- OEANS.

SUCCESSFUL SKIRMISH IN VIRGINIA. Richmond, Dec. 10.—Passengers who arrived here to-day. report that a skiimish took place, on •Suuday lai-t, between Colonel Ashby’s command and a party of Federalists. Eighty of the latter were captured, aud fifteen killed, the Confederates also captured twenty w agons. The report is givsn as received. CONFEDERATE CONGRESS. Richmond, Dec. 11.—The Richmond Examiner of this ir.orning, learns that a bill lias been passed n Cougrtss in secret s.-ssion, granting a bounty of > > l te the privates and officers in the army wiio shall serve continuously tor three years or during the war —the bounty to be paid at the cud ot their hut term to those re-enlisting for the next two end to their consideration such measures as he may deem expedient and proper. If this is not intended to influence legislation on such meas ures. we cannot see any use in that part of the Constitution The words ‘‘from time to time,” certainly indicate, that it is left to the Governor s discretion when he shall make a communication. r'Eanfiilrmti' Flag. The Richmond papers are discussing with much ability aud warmth, the proposition to change the Flag of the Confederate .States. There are, no doubt, objections to the present flag. The strongest yet given, are, first, that it bears too strong a re- semblauce to the United States’ flag, and on that account has caused mistakes which were so seri ous as to have desaoyed valuable lives and even put in great peril the safety of the army. 1 he secoud objection is, that it is but a copy of the flag we are warring agaiust. These are good and suf ficient reasons why the flag should be changed. But, to our mind, there is a still stronger reason, why our flag should be changed. Having adopted a flag, so similar in all respects, in color, and de sign, to the United States flag, the fact conveys years. 1 lie bill also provides for granting furloughs for tixty days, with transportation home aud back to j . , . ti.e twelve months’men who re-enlisted for the ; to the Yankee mind an impression, amounting to "arnr two years longer.

Caraker is the ( “plain of the Blues. We understand that a re- F" rl is in circulation that Captain Caraker has r “‘gned; this is not tme. Very C»sii,teat. We give lip fo the Republican in manners And taste. In the use of low language, when its arguments fail, it is ahead of any press in the country. We have one consolation, the Republican has not. The people have sustained Gov. Brown every time he lias been before them, and ire liavehad the pleasure of being in compa ny with a very largeand intelligent constituency. The Republican is consistent in one thing only. That is, in abasing Gov. Brown, and throwing dirt, when cor nered iu an argument. *‘f«pid in all hi* tiurom Rallies, V-» ’Vnlnge finds like Goods and Chatties.” The House of Representatives, with its accus tomed gallantry, defeated the “ Woman's Bill.*’ on F’ri lay, by a decided majority. If our memory serves u« corectly, this Bill has passed the Senate every time it has come before it; but the House has as invariably def.-ated it. Bright eyes rosy cheeks, and soft glances were pow erless tc effect the rigid Stoicism of the House. Shame, shame, gentlemen, to do the women so The Desperation of the Enemy. It any thing was needed to convince the world of the utter desperation of tiie enemy in his efforts to accomplish the subjugation of the South, it is found in hisrecent attempts todeslroy the port ofSa- vannah by sinking stone vessels in the channel. If the Yankees entertained a hope ot reconstructing the Union, they would not resort to such menus for compelling the seceded States to return to “ their allegiance to the Union.” They have de spaired ot conquering the South, and now bend all their energies to cripple us. They tried soft words, (as in Genera! Sherman's proclamation;) but they found no “ loyal ” citizens of South Caro lina, who would accept their proffer of protection and fiaternity. They are trying harsher means to reduce us. Poor, deluded fanatics ! They have yet to learn that every dollar of Southern property is pledged to the South in this war; and that Southeru men are ready, not only to bear all the injuries the Lincoln Government can indict upon them, but are ready also to destroy every dollar's worth of property, which can, in any event, fall into its bands. Let Savannah bide her time. The darkest hour is said to be the one just before day. The future has in store for her a realization of her fondest hopes The enemy may ruin, if they will, the commerce of all our seaport cities—but, as Mrs. Greenhow said in her noble letter to Seward, they cannot imprison the soul. To suffer in this war, is the common lot of all—cities no less than individuals But, by the help of God, and our own stout hearts, we icitt roll the rocks away that crush us now, and become a greater and more glorious people than the sun ever shone upon. Fried in tire, we will be all the purer and stronger when we emerge from ,the crucible. Let the Yankees sow their granite seeds in the channels of our bays aud rivers—they will spring up dragon's teeth iu other times, to tear in pieces the very heart-strings of theii commerce. V.> thank you for the Word. The Savannah Republican has taken up the cudgels against Gov Brown, for vetoing the bill to transfer the troops, in the service of tiie State, to the Confederate States. We trembled for fear the Republican would sustain Gov. Brown : and our fears were not altogether groundless; for it is well known that the Republican, more than any paper iu the State, abused Gov. Brown the past uinmer, for not putting the Coast in a proper state of defence. It abused him at one and the same time for trying to keep the troops and arms near the coast, aud for not defending the coast sufficient ly; and now that the troops are on thecoast.it abuses him because he wishes to keep them where they are needed for the defence of the State. We say that we trembled for fear the Republican would sus tain the veto of the Governor. We are convinced that the city of Savannah, to-day, would have been in the hands of the enemy, if troops had not been sent to tho coast; and hence we feared the Repub lican might take the Governor's side from self in terest if not from gratitude. But the agony of suspense is over. The Republican abuses tho Governor. His friends breathe freer. The oppo sition of that paper, to Gov. Brown, is a guaranty, that he is doing right, and that the people are with bim. Supplying England with Colton. A few months ago the Yankees, boasted that, by the first of December, they would open the ports of the Cotton States, and let England and F'ranee have just as much cotton as they wanted. Hell, their fleet came down aud took Port Royal But where is the cotton they expected to get from the “ loyal ■’planters ? Toshow that the Lincoln Government has been greatly deceived as to its expectations, it is only necessary to look at its conduct. It is now hermetically sealiug up the very ports which they expected to open to the ships of the world. English and F’rench ships can neither get in to load with cotton, nor get out if they should secure a cargo. The Yaukees know they have made a great mistake. They find out that they can't buy the cotton, because the plan ters are determined not to sell them a pound. They can't steal it because every bale is d-stroyed which can by any means fall into their hands; and they can't take it by force, for they are afraid to go out of sight of their war ships. Finding ali their plans have failed, all their expectations of getting the cotton blasted, they resort for revenge, o the destruction of our ports. What a spectacle for the world to behold ! Pe»ft. The Loncoln Congress is talking about peace, and a restoration of the Union ! The idea is ridi cuious. Peace can only be made on the condition that the Confederate States are acknowledged as an independent government. All other condi- ’ions not to be entertained one moment. Jeff Davis will appoint no Commissioners to iecon- struct the Union. ing the Arrows and the Olivo Branch iu his I alonsi would be a preferable flag to tbe present one. That of “ the Southern Cross,” which Generals Beaure gard and Johnson, so much admire, is both taste* (ill in design and beautiful. W e have a new gov ernment—let us have a new flag. Let us copy from no Nation, but create for ourselves. As we said above, the Yankee* will believe that attach ment to the old Union has not died out at the South, _ loug as the very head and front of our govern ment adopt a copy of their Banner. Let us have Southern design—perfectly original—simple, distinct, and charcteristic. With such a flag to float over our brave boys, their euthusiasm will be uubounded, and their future achievements even more glorioui than their past have been brilliant. Mr. LewU •( Green. In our Daily of Sunday morning last, our report of the Senate proceedings did not do full justice to Mr. Lewi*. Senator ot the 19th District. Mr. Lew is asked to be excused from voting on the donation to the city of Charleston, because he had constitu tional scruples to the action of the Senate, which was his only objection to the proposition. The Nnvnnnab Republican and Governor Drown. In the Republican of the 9th instant, we find the following commentary on the controversy be tween the Governor and the Representative branch of the General Assembly, in reference to turning over to the Confederate Government, the six months volunteers who volunteered for the special purpose of defending the soil of Georgia from invasion : Governor Brown and the Legislature are again in a muss. F’or the first time in our history, while a measure is undergoing discussion in one branch of the General Assembly the Governor overrides his duly and all sense of propriety by sending into them a bullying protest. The peo ple of Georgia are beginning t» reap the fruits ot iheir folly in electing one mail Governor for three successive terms. We have but entered upon the results ot the experiment. Look out for breakers! It the Governor feels no restraint now. what may we not expect from him with eight millions of dol lars and ten thousand troops at his command 7 There is, we believe, no conflct between the Governor and the Senate. The editor of the Re publican says, “the Governor overrides his duty and all sense of propriety, by sending into them a bullying protest.” F'or the benefit of the Editor of the Republican, we copy from the 3d paragraph of the 2d section of the Constitution of Georgia, the following item in relation to the duties of the Governor. “Hr (the Governor) shall give them (the Legislature) from time to time information of the State of tne Republic, and recommend to their con sideration such measures as he may deem necessary and expedient." In charity to the Editor of the Republican, we must believe that he was ignorant of the duties of the Governor, or he would never have declared the Governor’s message on the sub ject of the coast defence, a breach of duty or pro priety, on the contrary, the Constitution made it bis duty to do the very thing that he has done. But the Republican says the protest was a bully- ing protest; wo deny it, we say it was uot, and we published the whole message to let our readers see what it was. Why has not the Republican done the same ? Why has he not let his readers have a chance to judge for themselves the merits or de merits of the messag j I By his keeping the mes sage back, every one has a right to believe that he did not want his readers to know wbat waa in the message. We beiieve a very large majority of the rea 'ers of tbe Republican fully endorae Gover nor Brown'a views in this controversy. We have conversed with a great many persons from Savau- naband from the sea board, and have not fonnd one man among them, that agrees with the Re publican on this subject - We call upon the Re publican injustice to all concerned, to publish the communication of the Governor to the Legisla ture, on the coast defences. SI. McCOMB’S HOTEL WILL BE OPENED DURING THE LEGISLATURE. [8«pt. 26, ’61. 19 »f Gallantry of the Vonitjt Georgians, A correspondent of the Richmond Examine!) who we take to be the editor. Mr. Daniels, nar rates the following interesting incident: “Surely, Mr. Editor, there cau be no very gross impropriety in asking your permission to attract special attention to the cool, gallant, and mauly conduct of L eutenant Thomas H. Kenan and pri vate DeLoauey, of Georgia, who were with the lamented 1 rogban, when he fell in a recenl skir mish in Northwestern Virginia. Young Kenan was in command of his company, under Colonel Croghan, and in ten feet ot him when he fell Leaping from Ids saddle, he caught the Colonel in his arms as he fell, and summoned assistance xo remove him, wln-n the gallant young private (DeLoauey, from Georgia.) alone presen ted himself. Colonel Croghan knowing that Ins wound was mortal, said to Kenan, “ 1 am a dead man, Kenan, and you must leave me or the enemy will certainly kill or capture you.” At tii’t mo ment the balls were fly ing thick as hail around the party, and the bark of the trees was falling in showers in their faces. “No,” replied the noble youth. “ never will I leave you, Colonel, in such a place as this,” and never did he leave him, until, with the assistance of the brave yonngDel.oaney, he succeeded iu removing him, tinder a storm ot bullets, to a house on the way-side hard by. The officer in command of the enemy, who witnessed tiie devotion of these gallant young men to their wounded Colonel, spoke of it substquenily in the most extravagant terms of admiration. Noble, in deed, must conduct be, capable of touching the cold heart and wringing praises from the reluctant lips of a Yankee officer. All honor to these gallant young Georgians. Well may the country congrat ulate their noble mothers upon the iutr-pidity ot their heroic sons.’’ E. Both of these young men are Milledgeville boys, born and raised here. It is v*ry gratify ing to their relatives and (riends to hear them so well spoken of. Young DeLanuay is now at home sick with the camp fever. Lieut. Kenan is still in Virginia. In the effort of Lieut. Kenan to reach Col. Croghan when he fell mortally wounded, he lost his hoise, one of tho most beautiful animals we ever saw. The Yankees secured her.—Flits. F'eu. Union. 'The Soldiers Kslief Society of this city, grate fully acknowledgelhe handsome s im of $100 from the Atlanta Amateurs. The patriotic efforts of Wm, Barnes, Esq., deserve the praise of every citizen of Georgia—especially to the Relief So cieties throughout the State has he rendered ma- tenal aid. The following kind note accompanied the donation. Atlanta Amateur s Room, / Milledgeville, December 6,1861. J Mnt* M.

Tomlinson, Representative from Cliuch County, has kept an exact account of all his expenses, coming to, and returning from Milledgeville; and this sum is all he will take from the Treasury of the State, in this, her time of trouble. Instead, therefore, of receiving $250—the allowance for mileage and service, he receives only $95. Thr Republican ban found one HsiHlniii him. nmn to After diligent enquiry, for several days, the Ed itor of the Republican says lie lias found an in telligent Lieutenant who said that all the excit- ment about the Volunteers being transferred was confined to the officets, and that the men were per fectly ready to fight under anybody that would supply them with provisions, and lead them to battle ! Who is this Lieutenant that makes such a report concerning our brave volunteers? Ready to fight under any body that will give them pro visions ! Is his name Dougald Dalgetty? Or is he the Republican's reliable correspondent from the piney woods? THE J0KDA.V GREYS. Camp Satilla, Camden Co., Dec, 7th, 1861.

Through their munificence we aresupplied wiili every com fort and convenience winch the soldier can ask Well uniformed, tented and equipped, our condi tion evidently excites the envy of our less fortu nate fellow soldiers, and we hope in a few days to prove that iu drill and soldierly conduct we aie second to none in tin- Brigade.

Broun anil l!ic l.cisinlnlurr. Messrs. Editors :—Can it he possible that the Leg islature is resolved, in au insane effort to triumph over Gov. Brown, to luiu the State and jeopard Sa vannah and the entire seaboard ! It would seem so from the apparent determination of the House of Rep resentatives to turn over the Georgia troops, now m her service, to the Confederate Government. It is well known that many of those troops will not consent to the transfer, and will disband and go home Is it the wish of the House to break up our army iu the face of the enemy ? Suppose it is wrong in the troops not to consent to be transferred, does it follow that it is right in the Legislature to pass au act which will disband them ? Is it statesmanship; is it wisdom, is it common sense ? The enemy iu large force are upon our shores ; the troops say they will serve Georgia—fight for -her— die for her—but tiiey will not he transferred to the or ders of a government aud officers under whom they did not volunteer. Their contract was to serve Geor gia tinder Georgia Officers and Georgia military law. They will carry out that contract, but no other. They are not regulars, but volunteers. They prefer to serve under men whom they know, and will not be forced iu the teeth of their contract to be put under Army offi cers whom they know not. This is their argument, and whether good or bad, they seem to have made up their minds to act upon it. There should he some ore nr helm ing reason for the transfer, before the Legislature will thus break up our Army, and open up to the enemy, through Savannah and Brunswick, access to the interi or of the State. The main reason urged is that, it will save expeuse to the State. Let us calmly look at this reason, for oue moment. Is this u time to count dollars aud cents t Is money of the State to he weigh ed iu balance against the property- of citizens ot I he State—their plantations, negroes, houses, everything they p ssess ? Is money to he counted when the dese cration of hearthstones, tin-purity of women, the tread of little children, are all in the scales? God forbid! But even this miserable pretext of money—of the sor ing of money to the State—amounts to ^nothing. The State will save nothing liy the transfer. The Confed erate Government urr bound to refund every dollar that Georgia spends, and under the substitute bill of the Senate, Treasury notes are to he issued which bear no interest ; aud hence Georgia will not lose even the interest by her advance of her mouey, and support of her Army. What would be the effect of the'transfer of the troops, assented ; simply to displace Generals Jackson, Walk er, Capers and Harrison, and to mortify Gov. Brown. Will tne House of Representatives, to effect this last object, be guilty of gross injustice of displacing these Generals, endangering the integrity of our Army, aud thus opening the Stale to invasion and ruin ? Patriot ism demands that this miserable war between the Leg islature and the Executive should cease, at least while the State is iuvaded. Justice demands that money be appropriated at once to feed our brave Georgia volun teers ; and the instinct of self preservation demands that our Army be not disorganized and mined in the very presence of the foe. A LOOKER ON. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, J Mili.elioeville, Ga , Dec 14th, 1861. ; To the General Assembly : I have learned with painful regret that a large portion of the city of Charleston, in our noble sister State, is destroyed by tire. This is a calam ity which is not confined to South Carolina, hut is common to us ail The individual suffering re sulting from it tr.Sitc be very great. Large num bers of the poor of that noble city, are deprived of all they possessed, and are left without home or shelter, while others oflarger means have been re duced to poverty in a single day. This misfortune has befallen them at a time when they are threat ened by sea and land by a powerful and relentless enemy. No d iubt the legislature of their own State will doall inits power for the relief ofthesufferers, but with the other heavy burdens now- pressing upon South Carolina in common with her southern >is- lers, I think it proper that each should consider tbe calamity as a common one, and that each should do something to afford relief. Humanity com bines with fraternal relations in making this our duty. Had the calamity befallen Savan nah or any other city of Georgia. I doubt not our sister Siate. would have been the first to come to the assistance ofthe sufferers. I recommend that an appropriation of oDe hundred thousand dollars or such other sum as you may dt em proper he im mediately made, and placed at the disposal of the Governor of South Carolina for the relief of the suffering poor of the city of Charleston, whose mis fortune has been produced bv tiie conflagration. JOSEPH E. BROWN. BY TEL.BGBAPH. Special to the Columbus Times. Richmond, Dec 12. Knoxville—A C Hann, wrs hung here yesterday for bridge burning, was tried by Court Marshal.

Sedalia, Missouri. Dec. 6.—Latest advices from the South say that Price has moved part of his force fiom Osceola, to a point five miles distant, where he has established headquarters. Rain's command remained at Osceola. A train of fifty wagons from Lexington, loaded with supplies for Price’s army, passed unmolested witbiti fifteen miles of Sedalia on Monday last. There are four recruiting officers in Lexington en listing recruits for Price. Boston, Dec. 6 The steamer Baltic sailed for F'ort Pickens with the New York 70th regiment this afternoon.

Memphis,Dec. 11.—Oue of Lincoln’s gunboats is aground below St. Louis. Ice is running iuthe Mississippi. Halleck issued a savage proclamation on the 6th, saying that he will shoot rebels captured the same as sheep. Many Unionists from South west Missouri, are at St. Louis in a deplorable condition which they say was caused by Price’s army. The Democrat recommends that they he quartered iu rebel families iu St. Louis. Nothing new from Columbus. A scouting party 12 miles from Paducah, on Monday, captured 340 hogs aud 75 head of cattle trom the Federal army. Gen. Price not Superceded.—Col. Heath has been simply assigned to the Department of Arkansas and Missouri, and the country will be happy to know that I he gallant Gen. Price has not been super ceded or interfered with —The Memphis Ava lanche of ltlth instant publishes the following private despatch from President Davis: Richmond, Dec. 9, I8C1. To Major W. A. Bradwell: The rumor that Gen. Price will be suspended is false, if not malignant. I have not received a tender of Missouri troops, and consequently have no power to make appointments for them, or to control their organization. Jeff. Davis. LATER FROM KENTUCKY. Nashville, Dec. 11.—Louisville (Ky.) papers of the 1st inst. report the arrival there on that day and the day previous, of the 7th Pennsylvania cavalry, Gth, 9th, and 10th Ohio, aud the 15th and 17ih In diana regiments. Resolutions were introduced in the Ken tucky Legislature denouncing the Provis ional Government movement, declaring it to be treason, and instructing Governor Magoffin to issue his proclamation warning the people against assisting it, and requir ing those engaged in carrying it on to disband and desist from their purpose. A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives, providing that no per son aiding and assisting in the rebellion against the United States Government shall ever hold any office of trust or profit in Kentucky. The Louisville and Nashville Railroad advertises, on the 1st inst., that it will re ceive no freights until further notice.— This doubtless, means that the road is oocupied with transporting Yankee troops towards Bowling Green, Ky. Mrs. Gen. Buckner left Bowling Green a few days since, under a flag of truce, with the body of her dead child for burial in Louisville; but the Federal Gen. McCook, refused to recognize the Hag, aud Mrs. Buckner was compelled to return. Arts of the l.cgislnturr, Snaisn 1861. Linc*ln Oppswa Cmncron'a Policy—A Fam ily Squabble between I.incoln, Cameron and Greeley. Several corespondents refer to a flare tip between Lincoln and Cameron. It appears that Lincoln ordered Cameron to suppress a portion of his re port, advising the employment of slaves in th Federal army, and other objectionable portions of it. Cameron refused, and said that a number of copies of his report had been sent to the pub lishers, and he would not alter or countermand it. It is understood that Lincoln assumed tbe respon sibility and struck out the objectionable passages of the report. Tbe Cabinet in convention, and the Congress, have agitated the course of Mr. Lincoln. Grcely is hot about his special despatches of the Lincoln and Cameron affair -being refused trans mission by the Government censor, while other despatches went forward. 1.

Messrs Editors:—I desire to make a statement wh ch is alike due to Governor Brown and myself A few days since while the House was in commit tee of the whole, and I was compelled by the rules of the House to be on the floor, the massage of the Governor was handed me, and, hastily look ing over it, I thought, and still think, that the Governor had transcended his Constitutional pow er in making an argument and protesting against the passage of a bill the House then had under consideration. F'or if the Governor can rightfully make an argument for or against one measure be fore the House, and send it here to be read to the members, he may for or against all. These were my views, and 1 still entertain them. But from a conversation I have had with a friend of the Governor, and a perusal of the message in print. I am satsified that 1 placed a constiuetion on that part of the message which says that the volunteers *' will make the cause of their officers, common cause, aud refuse to submit to such injustice,” which was not intended by the Governor. And while viewing the message under the construction first placed on it. I used language expressive ot the indignation I then felt. Although I have not changed my opinion as to the constitutional power ot the Governor to send such a message to the House, aud of its great impropriety, if he had the right, and still thinking that parts of the message do injustice to the members of the House; yet it is right, and proper, and justice, to Governor Brown and myself, to make this statement- for I do not now think that he intended to be understood to mean that the troops would resist the action of the General Assembly. I desired to have made this statement on the floor of the House some days since, but no suitable opportunity has occurred, and I now ask its inser tion in your Daily. WARREN AKIN. General Price.—We extract the follow ing front the New Orleans correspondent of the Charleston Courier of Dec 4th: It has been a puzzle to many how Price, with out governmental resources, has man aged to subsist a considerable army in a country almost desolated. His system is not known in the “Regulations.’, He ne ver complains of a want of transportation, whether he is about to move ten miles or a hundred miles. He pays for what he takes in Missouri State scrip. His men go into corn fields, shell the corn, shuck it, take it to mill and grind it into meal. Or should they have no flour, they take the wheat from the stack, thrash it themsel ves, or with horses and oxen, and as with the corn ask the aid of the miller to reduce it to flour. Such au army can go where they please in an agricultural country. My informant compares the devotion of the men to him, and their confidence in him, as equal to the regard of the elder Napoleon’s armies for the“Little Cor poral.” This is a high compliment, com ing as it does from a qrofessional soldier, an el ere of West Point.
