GEORGIA
The Legislature—Message of Governor
Bullock.
[By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.l
ATLANTA. January 15.—The Senate and
House re-assembled to-day and the message
Of Governor Bullock was read. He corn . -
' mences by announcing that on the seventh
of December he addressed a• cotnmunica
: tion to Congress, setting forth that the re
construction laws had not been fully exe
cuted' in Georgia. He then proceeds tq
state that the remarkable action of the
Legislature, at its last session, had induced
a careful examination of the law and the
;,.Manner of its execution, to ascertain how
it was possible -uch extraordinary results
could occur. He argues that a strict adher
ence to the letter of the reconstruction acts
would' Wive prevented the overthrow of
them, which has been accomplished by
Georgia. Congress, he says, is the sole
interpreter of the true intent and meaning
of the reconstruction measures; and the
NtiLial arbiter on the question of their exe
cVtioh..
In the body of the message the following
occurs: "The fact that there is in Georgia
no adequate protection for life and proper
ty and free expression of political opinion,
is so well known and understood as not to
need argument or presentation of the evi
dence which 'has reached me from many
portions.of the State. In fact, it is hoped
that it May never become necessary to
make public information which would re
flect upon us as a people," He says Con
gress will undoubtedly regard the
expelling of colored members by the
Legislature as revolutionary, overthrow
tile government instituted by such acts,
and will take into its own hands the ad
justment of the difficulty, unless some ef
fective measures are at once adopted to
repair the injury. It is not Oesired that
treason should be punished, but it is de
manded that loyalty shall be respected,
and,, if necessary, protected. The Governor
reeminnends the General Assembly to take
the initiative for the settlement, by exclud
ing members ineligible under the Four
teenth Amendinent and restoring colored
tneuMers' to their seats, and in case it is
not 'deemed wise to take this course,
then to adjourn and leave the matter to
Congress, where, in any event, the
matter must be finally disposed of. He
remarks, "We may be well assured
Congress will not. pause is the,Arest work
of -- reocfnatruction‘4ol, regelferatftig
we fully acqujeseein tho great fact that our
late slaves are entitled to — ',ill - the rlghtsi
privilegeo and inuminities of otherl men
before the Saw, that until the same freedoin
from proscription 'which is granted tO the
most arrogant opponent of Congress is
secured to the humblest Union math and
friend of the Government."
lie closes with congratulations upon the
satisfactory condition of the State finances
cud valuable results obtained by agri
culture.

it is believed it wilt be followed by an am

The insurrection in Cuba—The Revolu

vect —The Object to - Utilize the Blacks
—Lholera Raging.
(By Telegraph to the Pittsburgh Gazette.)
January 15.—A1l the journals
publish accounts of minor engagements
between troops and revolutionists, but
nothing decisive is yet known to have oc.
curred.
The original copy of the so called eman
. ciliation proclamation issued by the Revo
lutionary General Cespedos, has been, 're
ceived here. It does not, as has been re
ported previously. abolish slavery at once,,
but counsels owners to give their slaves
their freedom, and leave the ultimate •
decision to the people, who at their
Ipleasure may decide upon immediate
emancipation, coupled with the indemuill
' cation of those owners who are favorable
to the revolutionary cause and yet un
willing to part with their property. The
General's principal object in the issue of
the proclamation appears to be the utiliza7
tion of the services a the blacks as a mill
: tory necessity.
The journals continue to report that "Val
tnazada has taken Rayamo, but this is still
doubtful. Even if he had reached .the
town, it is not probable he would enter it.
Spanish solid Cuban accounts concur in
staling that cholera is raging there.
Senors Ramerez and Tamayo left this

compromise. Various meetings to

held at the residences 01 several promi
nent Cubans, but had no definite result.
The Cuban Revolutionary Junta in this
city has had several secret meetings, at
which they have resolved to remain quiet,•
accept nothing. front Gen. Dolce, and make
no-demonstration until they have heard
fully from Gen. Cespedela as to the wishes
of the Revolutionists in arms. -
