happy and prosperous new year to our friends
and patrons! But what contrast between the be-
ginning of this year and that of 1852! How many
thousands have died, how many have been widowed
and orphaned, and what suffering since that time !
But "while there is life there is hope" We trust
that the advent of 1866 may be attended by better
omens than we can now see. The future is in the
hands of an All-wise and ALL merciful Being. "Man
proposes, but God dsposes." Whatever may hap
pen to US We must learn to submit to His will. Ma
tions rise and fall at His command. Sinner as we
are, We feel that the universal prayer is peculiarly
appropriate to US all at this time: sour Father,
who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy
Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth, as it
is in Heaven" That Kingdom will not come amid
blood and carnage; that will may not be done &C
cording to our will. But it will be done" wheth
er we pray for it or not Let each do his or her
duty during the coming year, and leave results to
that Being who " is too wise to err, and too good
to be unknd."

We observe, from correspondence published in
the South Carolina papers, between the Governor
of that State and the Secretary of War; the latter
declines to grant furoughs to officers in the army
of Northern Virginia who are members of the Leg
islature so as to enable them to perform their du-
ties as legislators To this extent therefore, the
Secretary of War has decided that the people of a
State shall not be free to elect whom they please to
represent them in their Legislature.

MLLEDGEVILLE, Ga, Dec l3.-GOver
nor jenkins, in his address to the Legis-
latuIe, says there is no conflict between
the constitution OF the United States and
the constitution of the State of Georgia,
that the laws of the United States are
supreme The Governor then pays a
handsome tribute to the good conduct of
the negroes during the war. He says
they must be thoroughly protected in
their personal property, and have the
right to enter the Courts. They should
be encouraged to work, and then they
would be the best working class, and
their late owners the best employers in
the world The Governor then reviews
the condition Of the State institutions,
and SAYS that for a time even thelightest
taxes will prove burdensome, but he
thinks that in the end the people will
not suffer He concludes the address
with an earnest prayer that God will
help us all. At tho close of the address
Provisional Governor johnson handed
the great seal Of the State Of Georgia TO
Governor Jenkins, who took the oath of
Office, and was theu declared by the Pres
ident of the Senate the Governor of the

1T Is understood that Secretary Fessen-
den yesterday concluded an arrangement
which has been for some time under contem-
plation, by which the management Of the seven
and three-tenths currency loan passes, after
70. day, into the hands Of Messrs. Jay Cooke e
90. We learn that the Secretary proposed
more than two months ago to them to become
the agents of this loan, the same as they had
been for the old a ve-twenry loan, butt they
then declined. His appeal to the National
Banks was subsequently issued, but the re-
ceipts from subscriptions have not met the
necessities OF the Department. 1t is hoped that
Department and the country; and the we'll
known energy Of this business firm, together
with the successful manner in which they
carried through the former loan, makes it al.
most surety that they will not fail in the
present undertaking.

EGGs TO CHOOSE FOR HATcHlNG.-
To all more or less experienced chicken
rearers, few practical suggestions on
Matching should be at this season far
from inappropriate. As regards eggs,
after an experience of twenty years,
We confess our utter inability to tell
what sort of egg contains cock or hen
chicken, and, after comparing notes
with the most intelligent and trust
worthy breeders, we believe no mark or
shape of eggs can determine the much
desired information. For fortunate
Matching, nevertheless, the eggs must
be picked. A thin shelled egg is al
most certain to be broken, and so spoil
whole nest. An unusually long egg,
if of ordinary thickness or a little
more, has in all probability double
yolk, and will produce, in most cases,
nothing, and if anything, monster,
probably. A shorter egg than usual
is also to be discarded, and so should
one laid upwards Of ten or twelve days.
if strong lively ones are wanted. Eggs
one month old will hatch, but the pro
duce are nearly always Of feeble con-
stitution. The shape will depend much
on the particular breed; but compared
with the standard Of its own class, the
oval neither too long nor too short is
best for Matching. There is no need,
as some have supposed, of turning
those preserved for that purpose every
day. But in cold weather gather them
from the nests twice or even thrice a
day, and do not expose them to the
air when gathered, and store them with
the narrow end downwards.
