PRESIDENT DAvIs.-The annexed pre-
amble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted by both branches Of the Georgia
Legislature on the 30th ultimo:
The General Assembly would do injus-
tice to the great heart Of Georgia not to
give some formal expression of their re-
spect for the character and sorrow for the
condition of the illustrious Prisoner of
State, Jefferson Davis. All the generous
pulsations of that heart are in full union
and sympathy with his sufferings and
misfortunes. Its warm affections cluster
around the fallen chief of once dear,
but now abandoned cause. There they
will cluster and centre, while men admire
all that is chivalrous in nature; while
they regard all that is constant in pur-
pose; while they love all that is noble in
virtue; while they revere all that is sub
lime in faith, and respect unfailing great
ness Of soul.
Therefore, the General Assembly of the
State of Georgia do resolve, That their
sincerest coincidence and warmest sympa-
thy are rendered Jefferson Davis in his
confinement, and they look forward with
anxious solicitude to the day when a
magnanimous and patriotic President
shall put term to his confinement, and
by the interposition of Executive elem
ency restore him people for whom he so
faithfully struggled, and on account OF
whom he endures, with Christian forti-
tude, the hardships of a long and rigor-
GUS imprisonment.

city-the other from Staten Island, New

and it was very evident that those gar

beat responsively. Each felt strangely
drawn towards the other by sympathy
of kindred aorrow; and after repeatedly
exchanging kindly, tender looks, the
New York lady addressed the other:

"Yes, madam; for I am native OF

people in the seeded States, and more
than all, my son, my only child, was q

"And 1, too, my friend, lost my only

And with that, the mother of the

|. -L1TE's AuTuMN-Like the leaf, life has
its fading. We speak and think of it with
sadness, Just as we think Of the autumn
season. But there should be NO sadness
at tho fading of life that has done well
it's work. IF we rejoice at the advent of
q new life; if we welcome the coming of
o new pilgrim to the uncertainty of this
worlds way, why should there be so
much gloom when all the uncertainties
are past, and life at waning wears the
glory of complete task? Beautiful as
IS childhood in it's freshness and inno-
cence, it's beauty is that of untried life
It is the beauty of promise, of spring, of
the bud. a holier and rarer beauty is
the beauty which the waning lite OF faith
and duty wears.
It is the duty of a. thing completed ;
and as men come together to congratulate
each other when some great work has
been achieved, and see in it's concluding
nothing but gladness, so ought we to feel
when the setting sun fiings back it's beams
upon o life that has answered we'll it's pur-
pose. When the bud-drops are blighted,
and the mildew blasts the early grain,
and there goes all hope of the harvest
one may well be sad; but whom the ripen-
ed year sinks amid a garniture of autumn
flowers and leaves, why should we regret
or murmur? And so a life that is ready
and waiting for the "well done" of God
whose latest virtues are it's noblest, should
be given back to God in uncomplaining
reverence, and we rejoice that earth If
capable of 80 much gladnoss, and is per
mitted such virtue.

very warmly advocating any plan Of re-
c'nstruction,-has at last become nau,
seated with Mr.. Johnson's speeches, and
in its last issue takes occasion to read
him lesson. Of a tenor not to be mis-,
taken The Post says: ....o ~
