|fcnts fr?nt i fjnr fetfj;vitufs> Washington, 1 Decomber 14.?-In' the United States Senato this morning, Mr. Foote offered the usual resolutions of re? spect on the death of the late Senator Collamer, of'Vermont, arid sovcral other Senators joined in paying a tribute of re? spect to the memory of the deceased. The following are tho Committee ap? pointed by the House to take into coneidr oration tho condition of the so-called Cbn federato^States: Messrs. Washburne, Mor rell, Gride, Bingham, Conc'kling, Bout- ] well, Blow-and Rogers. The House resolved that all papers*) which may be ofTerod upon the.condition of tho so-called Confederacy, bo.^referred without debate. jKo members shall -be admitted from any State or States until Congress^ shall declare such States, or either of them, en? titled to representation. Official? information received ' at the Stated Department announacd ' that' Ore? gon '^has - ratified - tho > Constitutional Amendment. Millegeville, December 14.?Govor? nor Jenkins was inaugurated here at noon to-day. Iu his address to the Leg? islature ho says there will heroaftcr be no conflict between the Constitution of the United States and tho Constitution of Georgia, and that the laws of ? the Unitod States will be supremo. -He, paid a hand somo^tribute-to tho good*conduct of the negroes during tho *war, and says they must l>o thoroughly.protected in person and property, and have the right to enter tho Courts. They are-the best ?working class, and'their-late owners "the best em? ployers in the world. He reviewed the 'condition of the Stato institutions, and says that even the light taxes will be burdensome, but hopes by a system of j good management that ^ho ipeople may not suffer. ,At>the-olose--of the address,' Provisional -Governor Johnson handed the great seal of Georgia to Governor Jenkins, who took tho oath, and was then declared by the -President iof the Senate the constitutional Governor of J Georgia. The Louisiana Legislature were badly victimized a few days Bince. A commu? nication was received by the Senate, of which the following is the opening: " Thot undersigned, as a committee of ladies, acting in tho name of a -large number of loyal ladies of New Orleans, wish to pre? sent your honorable body with a Uni? ted States flag, etc." The-Somrte reeoivod. the communication, accepted <the flag, and fixed an hour in the-afternoon for its for? mal reception. Shortly after they repair? ed to the hall of the House of Represen? tatives for the purpose of electing a State Printer. That duty performed, they re? turned to their own chamber, and ordered, forthwith, that every thing relating to-the letter and tho flag should be expunged from the journals of the Senato. In the interval the fact had leaked out that tho ladies desiring to make the presentation were colored. The only State without Congressional Representatives in Washington this win? ter will be the State of Texas. Provis? ional Governor Hamilton, by and with the advice an8 consent of the President, : we presume, has moved more slowly in the work of political reconstruction than the Governors of other Southern States. Ko convention evon has yot been held, though thero will be one in session this winter. After that preliminary -stop is taken, thero is much work to be done bo fore tho members can bo clocted to both Houses. A Washington correspondent says, that "Hho Southern dclogates to Congress are being troated with courtesy and corffcrdo ration by many. of those who ho!d seats on tho floor of tho House, and, it is said in Republican quarters, that "they will i certainly be admitted at an early day if | they come up to tho requirements of the anti-slavery majority of both branchos of Congress. The Tenncssco delegation have moro sympathy than any other, probably becauso President Johnson is a Tennosseean'. Only one Confederate soldier now re? mains at the Petersburg Fair Grounds Hospital?Sergeant Thomas W. Rives, of Company G, 43d Alabama Regiment, Grade's Brigade. Sergeant Rives re? ceived Iis wound at Appomattox Court House, oh Sunday, April 9, 1865, about fifteen minutes before the flag of truce was hoisted, and within a few yards of j the famous apple tree under which Gen? erals Grant and Lee signed the articles of surrender. He is still a sufferer from the wound, which was very severe. The Washington Intelligencer of Mon? day say3: '-Wo feel able to *say with confidonco that Mr. Horace Greely, who is now in this city, has expressed himself] substantially in accord with tho President in'his reconstx-uction policy as announced in his Message, and earnestly deprecates any division of the majority of Congress." It is reported that, as many of tho Southern States have adopted the consti? tutional amendment, and guaranteed pro? tection to tho freedmen in all their rights, the military force will be withdrawn from such States and tho Freedmen's Bureau fibolished. Gen. Paitton Anderson was in Tallahas? see on the 20th, having entirely recovered from the sevcro wound recoived near At? lanta. THTJESDAY MORNING, -DEC. 21, 1865. SPECIAL NOTICE.

For the Intelligencer. A CHRISTMAS REVERIE. Gently, ger.tly the snow falls?so fleecy, so soft and whito?light as an angel's wings descending, and pityingly spreading a spotless mantle:?a shroud for the dying year. List! how Sweet, how plaintivo sigh the wind-hflrpS thro' the pines, bowed in all their imperial pride by the snowy burthen, seen weighed down with grief, for they convey to us a requiem for the year?4 dying monarch, soon to be gathered to his fathers, with silver locks unhonorcd, for he leaves no pleasant record, his life is marked with ignominy and shame?far preferable the blood-stained pages of his predeces sor. For an hour I have sat watching the snow fall, and ?e gioups of p?ssers by. Merry children laden will, toys, expressing thoir delight that " Santa Ch.us " is not blockaded this year. -Men of business, with hands thrust in pockets and hatB drawn over their eyes to keep out the blinding snow, hurrying home to cheerful fires and smiling faces. Now and then a freedman half clothed, would loos wistfully in at tho blazing fire, pur chanco thinking of the huge hickory blazo around which he :sat, in old Massa's kochen last Christmas, which might welcome him " NeTcrmorc." But what of that ? ho has liberty, come cold, hunger, sickness, and all other ovils " flesh is heir to "?is he not fr?s ? And docs not that compensate for '.oss of homo and comfort ? 4 Twilight shadows deepen; shivering,.! draw ! near the hearth, "where the fire having burnt to embers "make light lo counterfeit a gloom."? Sinking into an easy chair, head bowed,'hands chi3pcd?gazing into tbo gloomy depths which'form fantastic figuros and cast grotesque ehadows on the wall?I dream. The shadows gather around me, "some weird and mocking, peer into my face?then dance back and screen themselves among the pic? tures and flowiug curtains. Otlicrs lean upon my chair and whisper of the days of early girlhood, of I brilliantly lit halls, gaily dressed maidens and handsome youths, sweet strains of music and toasts to bright eyes, and the hearty response to " many returns of merry Christmas ! " Their voices sound like mockery as they say?"Come be gay, hear how merrily the bells are ringing?list to the mu? sic, hovf it fills the very air with melody?see the fire-works, how beautiful! and hear'the shouts of happy children .'? Come, join iri 'our revelry ! " Ah-! there's no response in my heart to this, and impatiently I turn from them^to listen to one, sad eyed?which hovers over me, caresses my hair, and I nestle near it, as to a dear friend, long since gone before. Of what docs it whisper 1 A low, brown house on a hill-side, far away, where in winter (he winds swept down from their crio-h'omes on the mountain tops and scattered tho leaves from the old'oakB which over-hung the homestead; made strange music in and out'tho'eaves, where, in spring-time the swallows built their nests, and ?causing the time-worn shutters to creak and moan on their hinges. How vivid the contrast within! Tho cozy- sitting-room, with its tri-culorcd carpet and bright chintz curtain. How the blazing fire crackled and roared in the old fashioned fire-place, around which a merry grotrp gathered on Christmas Eve, drinking mulled cider, parching pinders and telling many improbable stories of the past, or forming plans for the future?the all-glorious To Come! Of times moro recent, when the children had merged to youths and maidenB, the father's once erect figure slightly bent, and silver threads mingled with mother's raven tresses. A peerless bride sits near the manly form of the first-born, her noble husband, who fondles with her brown curls and looks lovingly into dreamy depths of her blue eyes. The mother sits quietly knitting, half sighing that her children are too old now to lie nwake on Christmas Evo and listen for " Kris Kringle."* There is a dark-cyed girl who sit3 with her lover, apart from the rest. How fondly ho gazes in her upturned faco, or eagerly ehe listens to the beautiful legends he relates, for eho is an ! idealist, a dreamer from her birth, living in a world j created by hor own fanoy, peopled with beings pure and noblo ; and he, the lover, is the embodi ! ment of all she deems worthy? Ho speaks of his I home in tho gay world, and wonderful indeed it scorns to the girl, who all her life has been shut in among the hills of her mountain home. Her eyes grow moist a3'Tic refers to earlier days?of an ivy grown church where so often he had sat, listoning to the sweet organ notes until his soul was filled with melody, watching the dim, holy light as it j stole thro' stained glass, diamond-shaped panes, ! and rested upon the grey-locks of the pastor, like I a smile from God. The paalor whoso tremulous I voice t?ld of the Star of Bethlehem which guided the wise men of the East years ago, when tho in? fant Jesus was bom, " Glad tidings of great joy " were brought?a Saviour reigned. *Of another Christmas Eve, and now a change had come not on.'y over this group, but a mighty ono had swept all over our sunny land. More than a year ago secession was proclaimed. Rags \ flaunted gaily, bells rang cheerily, and from tho sea sido to the mountain there came a voice saying, " Wo will be a sepcrate andjindependent people." But this must cost a struggle, and for months war had raged with an intensity scarcely equalled in the annals of history. Sad indeed wa3 the change in that mountain home. The father had been laid down to sleep in the old church yard, where his fathers for generations back wcro laid before him. The mother's locks were silver white now, and care J and Sorrow marked every feature; tears steal si , lently thro' the wrinkled fingers on which her face is pressed. She had heroically buckled on the ar? mour of her first born, her heart's pride; the j trembling wife, so frail, so young, had forced a smile as he kissed her good-bye, and thus they sent him forth to fight his Country's battles. Laurel crowned, he fell T There's a nameless gravo on the battle field, and a desolate home fur away in Caro? lina. A half-open door reveals a figure draped in I black, kneeling near a trundle-bed, in which sleeps a little child. A mass of shining curls arc tossed carelessly on the snowy pillow, and the fair face rests upon a half naked, dimpled arm ; long lashc3 droop on the flushed check, and now and then a smile plays around the sweet mouth; she is dream? ing of the wonderful chariot drawn*by Reindeers, with dingling bells, which will bring her such beautiful things c'ro to-rr.orrow. Tho young girl again sits apart; sho is alon? now, reading a let? ter, and she tcois smiling, for her loved one writes peace ;f-soon victory shall crown cur arms?then he will hasten home to claim his bride. With lips parted and eyes flashing, she thinks of her coun? try's honor, her hero's return. Fond fancy paints him as on thati'parting eve; a heavy snow had fal? len tho night previous, and now lay one unbroken mass on the hill-sides and over tho vast meadow lands which stretched far away in the distance. A single star shone in tho quiet evening sky. How serenely beautiful the eccne ! With hands clasped, they stood and drank in the beauty, while each bitterly thought of the morrow, when he would leave, "it might be for years and it might be for? ever." How noblo, how handsome he looked. The j closely fitting suit of grey, long black plumes fall? ing gracefully over the left shoulder, and a crimson scarf tiod carelessly around his waist, half play? fully, half tearfully by tho girl. Many and ardu? ous were the duties he had undergone since then, but they were nobly borne, and soon he would re? turn, tho long months of trial and separation be j forgotten in the happy reunion. Another Christmas, and great j'ndccd is the change in the girl's lifo. She has left her humble home; one of luxury claims her as its mistress. Frescoed ceilings and pictured walls, crimson da? mask shuts out the light and imparts a blush to the checks of the graceful statues which fill the niches of the wall, moving one to dreams of Grecian my? thology. Rare exotics fill the vases, and the air is redolent with their perfume. Book3 and music, which her soul loves, arc at her command. Surely sho should bo happy!?her's is a proud spirit, which even grief docs not subdue. Her every hope is blighted, and yet as impatiently she passes to and fro in the room, her footfall lo3t in tho lux? urious carpet; tho tall mirrors reflect the same proud,- erect form ; a close observer would note the lips often compressed and the sparkle gone from the eye, which has a deeper, more earnest expression now, as shadows in a calm lak-i; There is no other outward change. On a low couch* there is a bridal robe, not such as one of such wealth would bo supposed to possess?a simple muslin robe, an orange wreath and snowy veil. Near by is a crimson scarf, an officor's?a crushed plume, an odd glovo, a package of letters tied with faded blue ribbons, and through all aro scattered pressed flowers, 30 old so faded thev fall at a touch, and - - their petals omit a faint sickly perfume. Tho girl j ceases to walk ; slic kneels and buries her faco in the dainty, spotless robe; no sound of grief es? capes her, not a tear, only a tremor. passes over the slight frame. 'Tis the wedding night, and yet no bridegroom comes. 'Near Malvern Hill, neath an old apple tree, there's1 a soldier's grave, and to? night the snow wraps it in a shroud as pure as the heart of the pale, quiet sleeper beneath. But it will melt in the morrow's sun ; winter will pass away, spring birds will nestle and warble in the leafy boughs which will 'scatter white and pinky blossoms over the spot where the soldier sleeps. Why should she mourn for him?he fell nobly, and better the cold, pulseless fingers, Toldcd"6n the icy breast, than live to surrender the 'swird he" finally hoped would never be sheathed until we had gained a glorious Peace. Alas! our beautiful banner is fiirltd, and truly *? There's no peace to the South? land yet." The spirit of God descends into Ike h.eart of the bereaved, and enables her to feel, "Ihiy will, not min? be done." Calm and tearless she rises?quietly folds away the memorials of the past and " what might have been "-^dr&ws aside the covering of a portrait, which looks' fondly in her eyes and seems to say, "I am stity with thee, beloved." And truly she meets his gaze in the beautiful stars, hears his voice in rippling streams, and feels his caress in the evening'breeze. She has learned to Suffer and be strong; and careless of self, lives for the comfort of those around, de? voting time, wealth, all to the happiness of others. God help, her to fulfill her mission nobly. Tho whispering shadow steals Boftly from my side as bright lights are brought in, and I awako from tho melancholy story to Life and its realities. My rovcrie has been long! Who,"m the strife and turmoil, the fever and unrest of existence, but sometimes indulges in them as a quiet or panacea ? Soon the year Sixty-Five will give place to the New Year. Let us hope that its pages may be filled with noble deeds, and though there seems lit? tle prospect for happiness and prosperity with us,? "We will live in the hope of a bright day dawning, AndHvclcome our Fate with a smile." After all, this world is but a vast stage, whereon each has a part to perform. But there is a Life apart?a Green-Room, where, away^ from the glar? ing lights and staring multitude, we may doff the tinsel and be " ourselves." By and by, it will be over?tho duties-of life,'and tho dreams and reve? ries which refresh us?and then will come the beauty, the glory of the final awakening. " Eye hath not seen it, ear hath not heard, nor can the heart of man conceive "?but God knows, and it is. tho office of Faith to wait, trust and believe.
