The News.
Our political intelligence from Georgia is inlpor-
Want. A bill has been introduced into the Legisla-
hre of that State proposing to confscate, for the
benefit of owners of fugitive slaves, the debts due
BY citizens of Georgia to citizens of the State to
which slaves may have escaped if the authorities of
Mat State refuse to deliver up the slaves upon claim
Of their rightful owners. Such measure Us tins
has been discussed by the press and at public meet
ngs in various parts of the South for some time
past and it is quite likely it will soon assume the
form of legal enactment The Legislature of
Georgia has also lately had under consideration the
question as to what disposition should be made of
the numerous insulting resolutions and other emana
tons Of Northern feeling upon the affairs Of the
South which the aboltonists have so systematically
promulgated during the last few years. In regard
10 this subject there Is evidently no difference OF
opinion in the minds Of the people of the South and
i only remains for some one to embody the popular
idea in suitable shape for it to obtain forcible ex
preston.
We give from one Of the Rio Janero papers
complete narrative Of the recent revolutionary
events which took place in the city of Montevideo,
and which ended, after remarkably brief contest,
h the abdication of President Flores, and the in
stalment in the Chief Magisracy Of the republic of
Uruguay Of Don Manuel Baslio Bustamene, Presi-
dent Of the Senate
The weather was cold, raw, blustery and unmis-
sakabiy wintry yesterday. There was frost in the
morning, and the ponds and lakeets in the vicinity
OK the city were frozen over, not, however, as yet,
hard enough to skate upon, to the great annoyance
Of the boys, who are anxiously looking ont for a
"goOd time' The afternoon was milder, but un.
comfortable from cold east wind that was prevail
ing. In few weeks, if present appearances are to
be relied upon Jack Frost will take lodgings in the
city and remain, perhaps, until March.
Professor Hares lecture on spirtualisn at the
Broadway Tabernacle, last evening, was attended
bya large audience. We give report oftke Doctors
performance in another column.
The Central Democratic Union Club, whereof
John Cochrane is President, met at Tammany Hall
last evening, and inangurated a movement for the
union Of the tripartte shells into harmonious
agglomerate party, with view possibly to the spois
to be in the Presidential campaign of 1866. It
Il the early bird that catches the worm.
The time of the Board Of Councilmen last nigh.
was taken up in the third reading OF reports, aud
beyond this nothing was done. petition was
received from the Magdalene Society, asking for
$1,000. This was referred to Committee on Finance.

There was an immense Know Nothing torchligkt
demonstration at Washington last night. Six hun
dred enthusiastic delegates from Baltimore swe!led

Pr. Stephen I. Beale, the Philadelphia Dentist
was yesterday released from his confinement in the
Moyamensng prison. DR.. Beale was convicted in
October, 1854, of the offence with which he was
charged, and was sentenced TO an imprisonment Of
Four years and six months. When the news of his
pardon was communicated to him, he was so COM
pktely overcome TO be unable to articulate syl-
liable. The scene of his meeting with his family is
described as having been affecting in the extreme.
We publish elsewhere an interesting statement of
the reasons which induced Gov Pollock to grant the
pardon.
Under the CAPTION of " The Coming Crisis we
publish an ably written letter from Northern mau
the dangers threatening the stability of the Union
from the increasing evaporation Of the discussions
between the North and Soutb. He contends that
the aboltionsts traitors to the constitution and
would lay the axe to everything to carry out their
own fanatic views. Were they, however, to succeed
n dissolying the Union, they would not be any
nearer adgsnced to their prefessed objects. The de.
struction OF our federal system would not release a
slave the Territories from the stakeholder.
They must be amicably divided or fought for, and
when il comes to the point the people OF the North
will not fight the battles Of the abotionists. We
recommend this communication TO the careful con.
sideration of the anti-slayery faction. 1t contains
some wholesome truths, which, If properly dgested,
may have sedative influence their extraya gance
