Having no uiuUs^ and receiving papers oily by. chance, WQ have not been able to make ourselves quite an courant as to the d?iugs of our great national council. Suffice it to suy that Mr. McPiiKnsoN, thc Clerk of the House of Representatives, has declined to ?nroll tho uamcs of any of tho members elect from thc Southern States, even excluding those from Tennessoe. Tho republicans unanimously adopted a resolution to bo ottered ia both Huus.es, for the appointment of a committee of fifteen to consider thc condition of thc "so-called - Confed erate State?," and report whether any of them ?re entitled to representation. No member will be admitted until such report be made, and acted iipnn by Congress. Hon. Mr- CwLv.w, who ?J Spoaker, will liiv'o tho appointing of this cum mince on tho parc of tbe Houso. *He is a tierce radical Republican, and will appoint men whoso views upon tho subject accord with Iiis own. If wo over get any report at all from this committee, tho great probability is that it will bc a decidedly unfavorable ono. Thu long and short of it all ia thiti: After having promptly and substantially adopted all the measures indicated from Washing ton, thereby purchasing rights at fearful cost, wo aro litill t? bo denied those riga ts. And that if we arc ever admltlod into tho Union again (out of which the President say* wo have Dcvcr boon,) ft is to bo after further bitter humiliation and sacrifico. A Hint. We have now a Constitutional Governor. Would it not be a wiso thing to ru iso a Volunteer Com? puny from among the young and middle-aged uun of this town, and offer the said Company to the Uovtruor ? The Militia has to be reorganized, aud this will most probably bo dono during the present session of the Legislature. So that if we should be quick onongh in raising and offering such a Company as wo propose, it would doubt less have the honor of being the oldest in the Stato. The nccoisity for such a corps is very great ; there ncod be no reasoning on that subject It is tho height of wisdom in theso times to be rca,I j. Let thojc who aro not able to muster or do duty in such a Company, put their hands in their pockets a-i t help to equip it. We exhort souio of our young uieu, who have seen much military service, and ara p?sscssod of larg? mili tary experience, to move forthwith ia this y'?-im portant matter. i3?" Gov. Johnson of Ga., has bson ordorcd by tho President to hold his position as Provis ional Governor of that Stato until further cfrucrs. Tho members from all the Southern States except Virginia, Tcnncsico and Louisiuua will jo tu Washington boaring certificates of election from a Provisional Governor, which ends tho question at once. A Provisional Governor ls a thing entirely unknown to the law, and members elected under their ausjices, and boaring their certificates, do not come within.the purviow of tho law as having bien " elected in accordance with tho laws of the States respectively or of thc United States."

Mr; JOHNSON commences bis message witb li>ng and Inhered comment upon tkcConstituli of the United States. Ho contends that the Go crament of tho United States is a consolid?t one-that it tx? a government of a majority-a: denies tho'sovereignfy of tho" S tutea. It will n bo expected that wo 'riionld subscribe to au doctrines-we-who'hnve Lien raited in the seht ,o'f State-Right?.' liutitv boots us -little, atti day, to enter-Hito a discussion of thia topic. T chances of war have, for the present, decided tl question against ua. It may be oar destiny tl: we arc to live under a consolidated despotist and wc oan.only hopo and pray that poster: may see a Better day. But while wc pretend conduct an independent Journal, we will ne\ .abandon our principles, or acknowledge that t chances of war hare altered the meaning of t Constitution. The battle fiald is not-usually t most dispassionate- court of justice, or are I decisions of tho sword characterized by just and truth. But this is not the day for the d cushion of those grave topics, so we dismiss tho Mr. JOHSSON admits however, that tho "Sta! are 'essential to tho existence of tho Coastituti of tb? United States/' and that "tho whole ca not exist without tho parts, or the parts with< thc whole" Some glenm of hope might be fou in this admission if it waa the admission of t Government of tho United Stat??-the govern rn? under which we live. But what is it really wort It is tho published souttar ?at of Mr. Asnas JonNsox in a message to the Congres* of t Uuitod States. But what then? .Wh?t ia I opinion of Mr. Jonxsox worth oh thu or a other question of the day ? Will the Congress the United States pay any regnrd to his opinioi How doss this opinion comport with the fact th while Mr. J. is declaring that the " States .1 essential to the existence of the Constitution tho United States," he ia, in tho same breai sanding a message over the wires forbidding t members of Congress from the Statu of Sou Carolina to appear' ia Washington ? And th? members, murk ! elected at bis own suggestic and upon his own terms; and after the State South Carolina has ignored her dignity as a Sta and submitted to tho most humiliating ^dictati fro? Washington, by recognizing the Aboliti reclamation of Abraham Lincoln-which h .-culed her ruin. After all this degradation ai rain, we are not now to he admitted into t Union, but are to bo kept, we -suppose, under military rule, as subjugated provinces. Whether Mr. JOHNSON is acting towards us good faith, or is only playing a part in tho gre drama of the day, is to us a question we are n curious to decide. It may be, and we aro dispos* to believe thns, that Mr. JOHNSON really desig the restoration ef tho late Confederate States thc old Union. But what power has Mr. JOHHSI at this day in tho counsels at Washington ? Wi an ab.ditton majority in Congress of more tbi ono hundred, wo think thu President of the Uniti Sutes occupies just now very much tho positii of a man of straw. Supposo that the Preside of thc United States in good faith desires to a mit thc Confederate Suites again into the Unio whore li hts powor, ?Uh th li abolition majori in Congress against him ? Congress may atipi late such terms for our return as we cannot coi sont to. Should tho President veto the bill, th? uro able to pa'* it by a two-thirds majority ov his head; and there it would end ! Bi.t wo are sick of tho ontiro subject r sick 1 thinking, sick of reading, sick of writing, uboi it. Wo, in truth, expect neither justice or mere from our conquerors ; and we see no motiv even wero wo dishonest enough, to doludo 01 readers on this subject.
