By Tele^rapli. Proceedings of Georgi? "Legislature. MII.LEIXJKVII.LI", January 22.-A bill t:> incorp?rate tbe Georgia Express Company passed thc Senate to-day. In the Honso, a bill was passed removing the reatriction on the distillation of ardent spirits. Mr. Ridley, of Troupe, introduced a sc? ried of r?solution?, recommending to tho President of the United States the issuance of a proclamation of general amnesty and pardon. Congressional Proceedings. WASHINGTON, January 22.-In thc Sonate, thc amendment to tho bill enlarging the powei-s of the Freedmen's Bureau, which {?roposed to restrict its jurisdiction to the innis of thc States lately in rebellion, was discussed. Mr. "Wilson spoke in opposition to it. Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, said that if such a Bureau must exist its operations ought not to Be felt in tho loval States. The question was taken and the amend? ment rejected. In the House, Mr. Finke introduced bill to repeal the test oath; which was re? ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Mr. Williams introduced a resolution calling for tho trial of tbe leaders of tho rebellion by court martial or military com? mission, asserting that it would not an? swer tho purposes of justice to have them tried by a tribunal of iustice in tho South, where their peers would bo persons equally guilty with themselves in crime. The House Committee on Freedmen's Affairs intend making a tour of inspection through the South. GENERAL GRANT'S REPORT-His THEORY OF WAR.-General Grant's theory of war is simply this : "I have 250,000 men to the 150,000 of the enemy. I shall not attempt any stra? tegical movements; I shall not try myself in the open field or rose cam? pagne against Lee; but I will fight the enemy whenever lean, in the convic? tion that I will make him lose as many men as I do, and that at last, when I have reduced my army to 150,000, ho will only have 50,000, and that I must then win. He saw no position, practiced no grand manouvre, hut kept on pressing his enemy con? tinuously on an outer circumference, and eventually moving round from right to left, till his line wheeled round and stood facing the point from which it had started. He saw that it was not Richmond but Lee's army which was the heart and soul of the Confederacy, and he hammered away till the head of his hammer was nearly. flattened and destroyed ; but at the same time other tremen? dous armies were hammering away at the Confederates on similar princi? ples, aud the terrible rule in arith? metic was worked out. But who, seriously and candidly speaking, will pronounce that such a system is en? titled to the praise reserved for high efforts of military genius ? Not General Grant, for he appeals to the greit end in view as thji justification of his practice. He can certainly say that whereas his predecessors filled every ditch with dead, and marched forwards or backwards over slaughtered thousands of their men, he alone plucked victory from the holocaust, and that the slain of Spottsylvauia and Petersburg were the ramparts over which he strode to success. On a future occasion we shall examine the report, which is worthy of a most attentive examina? tion, and is entitled to very high praise, although it does not, we think, deserve all which has been said of it in America. Of Grant's genius for the work to be done there can be no doubt. He appreciated the situation and the forces of the combatants in the clearest manner ; and if the American Congress revives the rank of General, as is proposed, in his favor, he can take it with the consciousness that no one on the continent is so worthy of the posi? tion.-London Army and Navy Ga? zette. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVES.-Hon. Jacob Barker, says a New Orleans paper, has returned to New Orleans to await further action on the part of Congress with reference to the ad? mission of the Southern Representa? tives. Mr. Barker attributed much of the angry feeling on tho part of the majority in Congress against the South to unwarranted representations that have been made by unprincipled and mischievous scribblers, who have declared that ' 'rebellion ^till existed, " when such was not the case. Mr. Barker sajTs he endeavored to con? vince some of the more extreme mem? bers of the House that they had been imposed upon by false reports, but he found his pleadings of no avail, and therefore concluded to return. He, however, believes that the oppo? sition will ere long give way, and the Presidents policy will be successful. Hon. John Sherman has been re? elected United States Senator from Ohio by the Legislature of that State, by a vote of ninety-four to forty-one. One of the important matters up in Cabinet meeting on Wednesday was the subject of cotton peculations at the South. Information in the hands of the Government shows that the thefts of the Government cotton have been e^jrmous, and men in the civil and military service are largely implicated. GENEROSITY IN SHARON.-In a ce? metery at Sharon, Connecticut, is a family lot in which are seven graves arranged in a circle. Six stones com? memorate six deceased wives of D S-, while the seventh and more stately^ slab bears the simple but affecting"h""S0"?ption, ' 'Our Husband. " We'are apt!*-0 hate those who won't take our adv#ce? and despise those who do. ! Wonderful KaltirtO object?. The opening np of the great country lying West of us has-already brought to light some gigantic works of na? ture, in comparison with which Ni? agara, the Natural Bridge, and the Mammoth Cave dwindle into curi? osity objects of third-rate importance. A closer familiarity with the moun? tain, valley, and plain region stretch? ing towards the Pacific will develop, in all likelihood, still grander dis-' plays. The latest discovery is that of a lake in the Cascade mountains, about eighty-five miles North-east of Jacksonville, Oregon. From the de? scription, we should suppose that this sheet of water occupies the mouth of an extinct volcano. J.t is twelve miles in length by ten in breadth, and forms, to all appearance, a regu? lar circle. In this mountain region has also been discovered a water-fall of the grandest proportions. All others, so far as known, are but gentle cascades compared with it. If the aecou ts are to be credited-and they come from several sources, all bearing marks of intelligence, and the corro? borative evidences of consistency and similarity in description, mea? surements, and details-this natural wonder is without a parallel in the water-fall line, yet brought to the knowledge of the civilized world. Niagara, with its pitch of one hun? dred and sixty feet, is but a slight undulation, an almost imperceptible break, when contemplated with the leap of a river six or eight times that distance. Near the northern line of Arizona is the great canon De Chille, another of these wonderf ul phenomena, where nature not only exhibits her grandeur in vastness of proportion, but in the forces which she wields. A mountain has been torn asunder from top to base, and the two parts separated for a distauce varying from one hundred to a thousand feet. The extent of the chasm in length is forty miles. In the late war with the Navajo Indians, Col. Kit Carson marched through this canon und routed a large body of the enemy who had taken refuge in its fastnesses. The vails* are described by our military officers as being nearly pcrpendieulnr, and of such a height that an arrow discharged from the top loses its propulsion long before it reaches the bottom, and comes flouting to the ground with the simple force of its own gravity. The Indians inhabit the locality, and cultivate grain fields and orchards with great success. Some day, when we have a railroad across the continent, with a branch towards Oregon and another towards the Gulf-or, what will be better, a half-dozen independent! trunk lines ?i'OU? the Mississippi td the Pacific these wonderful works W nature will be visited by thousands. P?s?:<_;??y has a good time before it in the mat? ter of sight-seeing, and if ah other improvements shall be projected on the same scale, the pace at which we are progressing will hardly be slack? ened for another century or two. [Si. lsouis Democrat. SPEECH AT A MARRIAGE FESTIVAL. The following little speech, which smacks of the poetical genius of Alex der Smith, was made in Memphis, recently, by a bridegroom at the wed? ding supper table : "To-night, I shake hands with the past. I live henceforth in future joys. An unknown door is opened wide, and I enter au abode of perfect bcautitude. These two persons, whose lives have been well spent, have reared and trained, in love and kindness, the sharer of my future joys and woes. If my life be blissful, I will owe them much, in that they have imbued the mind and heart of their adopted child with lessons of purity, kindness, truthfulness and love. I am confident of the future. The sha? dow of the present shall fall upon it, even when my bride audi have grown old, and invest it with sunset glories. The man who, in youth, knew some soft, soul-subduing air, melts when again he hears it sung. Although it is not half so touching, yet it awakens sweetest echoes in dream-land, and to age it repeats the story of youthful hopes, liassions and love. I may not deserve the good I have won. Love is not won. lt gives itself, and if not given, no wealth, genius, beauty, state or wit, no gold of earth or gem of Heaven, is rich enough to purchase it. Loving thee, my bride, my heart shall keep its old memories like the sea-shell its wonted melody. But away with forebodings on a wedding night! Love's music steals on us like dawning light, which over all the heavens spreads and invests the world with beauty and glory. The road that led on through the unknown fu? ture was dark and dreary, but a ce? lestial splendor now lights up the gloom, and the fair bride, her spirit self a Peri at the gates of Paradise, invites me onward and upward to a life of purest pleasure and duties of beneficence." A MUNIFICENT DONATION.-We un? derstand that a gentleman of our neighboring State (South Carolina,) doing business in this city, took it into his head, on Christmas day, to divide the handsome sum of $2,000 between the pastors of the St. John's and St. Jumes' Methodist, and the Greene street and Kollock street Baptist churches-giving 8")00 to each.-Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. Acknowledging that we have beim in the wrong is only showing that we are wiser to-day than yesterday. COMMERCIAL AND FIN VNCIAX.

Herc, we quote buying rate, 39; selling, 41. Virginia State bonds, coupons, with back interest during the war, $75; registered, without interest, $41 @$42. Money is still very scarce, and the Legislature had done nothing to change thc slate of things. In New York, there ia ^in abundance of capital, and the average rate of call loans is 5 per cent., thc allowed I rate being 4 per cent., while the supply of money for this kind of loans is in excess of | the demand. The speculative feeling in the great metropolis is, however, strong, and as capitalists generally desire to place their funds out on call, so that they can command them when a chance offers, paper at fixed rates is not so readily taken. On short time, the range is G\(q\l\ percent. The bacon market is dull, and price? nominal. Old shoulders can bu bought at 154@16c, new clear sides, 20c; new bone sides, 19c.

WAGGISH.-The New York Times announces the inauguration of the Governor of New Jersey under thc following caption: "Reconstruction Formal Restoration of New Jersey to the Union. " The last Governor, like all that had preceded him for many years, was a Democrat. The Yorkv?le (S. C.) Enquirer, of the 18th, states that Gen. E. Mciver Law has been elected President of King's Mountain Railroad Company. Letters from Oran, dated Decem? ber 17th, state that the Borysthene steamer, of the Messageries Impe? riales Company, coming from Mar? seilles to that place, struck on the rocks to the North of the Isle Plane, at ten o'clock, on the evening of Fri? day, the 15th, and immediately Bunk. Some thirty or forty fives were los*. The name of the Knoxville Rail? road has been changed to the Tennes? see and Pacific Railroad, tho intention being to connect by way of Memphis and Little Rock with the Southern Pacific Road, through El Paso. I The people of Cincinnati are quite impressed with the importance of a railroad from their city to Chatta? nooga to connect with the syst?me of j roads which it will intersect there. I They propose to build a straight line, or as straight a line as the country will admit of. THE EDITORIAL TEEAD-MILL.-Th? H?m? Journal thus describes the editor's burdens: "It is one of the hardships of our profession that its working wheels brains and heart-are not allowed to lag for sickness, or to stop for calami? ty or sorrow. The judge may adjourn his" court, the school and the work? shop may close shutters, the mourner may veil his features, and turn Wend and stranger from the door; but the journalist must forget before to-mor? row the sorrows of to-day, must write gaily and freshly asa newsmonger on the trifle of the hour, whatever bur? den has been laid upon the same hour by Providence, or his bsains as a man. It sometimes tries and mocks as the world that reads what is thus written woui,d never dream of. The public looks upon the editor's labors as the Indian did upon the man that was cutting hay. He finally gave as his opinion that it was 'easy to see the white man mow.' " The Toronto correspondent of the New York Herald says that thc meet? ing of the Canadian Parliament has been deferred until May, from fear of a Fenian invasion. Official news received from El Paso states that President Juarez arrived there on thc 18th of December, having been driven from Chihuahua by the French. There is a French Episcopal Church in New York, where the contributions are collected by young ladies, and the wicked people call it "the pretty waiter-girl church." 1 The Houston Telegraph announces the death, of Hon. C. W. Buckley by accidental drowning in the Brazos Uiver, on the 19th instant. Havana advices to the 17th instant state that Secretary Seward had not arrived up to that time. The Captain General was fitting up his country seat preparatory to receiving him in a hospitable manner. Mr. Goodloe has been confirmed by the Senate as United States Mar? shal for North (.'andina. During the war, Mr. C. was an exile from his State, and a loyal man throughout. Colombia. Wholesale "Price? Current. connr.cTF.n WEEKLY B VA. L. SO LO MoX.
