The President says: "From all the information in my possession, and fromthat which I have re cently received from the most reliable authority, 1 am induced to cherish the belief that sectional animosity is surely and rapidly merging itself in- - t a spirit of 'nationality, and that representation, connected with a properly adjusted system of taxation, will result in a harmonious restoration of the relations of the.

The good of the country and econo jny require that the force left in the interior, where there are many freed men, should be white. He further'remarks: . My observations lead me to the conclusion that the citizens of the Southern States are anx rious to return to self-government within the 'Union as soon as possible, and that whilst reeon--structing they want and require protection from the Government. The report is very interesting, and furnishes many favorable facts in regard tu the condition of affairs in the Southern States, and shows through out a friendly feofing towards the South.

We learn that the House of Representatives, ou Monday last, decided by a vote of 125 to to maintain the present test oath as it is. This is virtually saying that no member elect from this State shall be admitted to a scat in the. House, for only one of tbcm, Mr Jones, can itake the' oath, and it is not probable that he alone will be admitted. Neither of the Senators ' elect from this. State can take the aath. This" test oath will be insisted od not only as to members of Congress, but as to all other -officers of the Government Collectors of the Revenue, Postmasters, &e. It would be a great accommodation to our people, and an act of simple justice to the Union men of the insur gent States, if this oath could be so modified as to put it in the power of that portion of the Union men, who are really true, to take it. On account of the technical character of a part of this oath, the number of thoec in this State who can conscientiously take it is small, while there are thousands who could cheerfully subscribe it if dive6ted of this objection. It is hard, fof ex ample, that such true Union men as Robert P Dick, John Pool, William S Mason, Edwin G Reade, Thomas Settle, and many who might be named, should bo excluded from office by this feature in the oath. Beside!?, if this test is ap plied to the Postcfnccrs of the insurgent States;, the people must suffer greatly for the want of mails, for the reason that a large majority of those who would make suitable Postmasters, and who would apply for mail contracts, have been, in one shape or another, connected with the re bellion. If Congress is fixed in its purpose to maintain the oath, as it .certainly appears to be, we trust some modification will be made, so far at least as the revenue and postal service are -concerned.

" - The Secretary of State baa addressed a letter to the Governor of Georgia, transmitting a.copy of a communication addressed to the late Pro visional Governor of that State, relieving him of that trust, and - tendering him the co-operation of the Government of the United States when ever it is found necessary to the prosperity of the State of Georgia. General Winfield Scott arrived at New Or leans on the, twelfth instant, - on his way to the Rio Grande. The report that General Grjnt was about to visit the Rio Grande is premature. He will not leave Washington until some deci sive Congressional action is taken on the mat-" ter,. unless unforseen contingencies should arise, demanding his immediate presence on the Rio Grande. - In consequence of the refusal by the Legisla ture of Tennessee to allow the negroes to testi fy in court, the War Department has issued or ders to General Fiske, the Superintendent ftf the Freedman's Bureau in that State, to take all cases in which the rights of negroes are in volved before the military courts for adjudica tion.

Fourteen out of seventeen of the Ohio repub lican Copgressiorva! delegation and .seven-out of eleven of the Indiana Congressmen will vote for Georgia. Governor Jenkins ated Governor of the State on the 14th iustant. In his address to the. legislature he says : "There is no conflict between the Constitution of the United Stales and the Constitution of the State of Georgia. . The laws of the United States are supreme." The Governor then paj-s a hand some tribute to the good conduct of the negroes during the war. He says that they must be thoroughly protected in their personal property and have the right to enter -the courts. They should be encouraged to work, aud 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 savs- that for a time even the lightest taxes will prove buidensome; but he thinks that in the end the people will not suffer. He concludes his address witluan earn est prayer that ''God will help us all." At the close of the address Provisional Gov ernor Johnson handed the great seal of the State of Georgia io Governor Jenkins, who took the oath of office, and was then declared by the President of the Senate, the Gover.norof the State. The sentiments of the address are most cordially endorsud by the members of the State Legislature.

A Yankees Description of the Southern People. On Thursday night last, J. R Gil more, alias Edmund Kirke, entertained and in structed our Philadelphia brethren with an ac count of the Southerners. He said : "The poor white class are lqtwer than the ne gro. They are the natural product of-slavery. It has shut out every avenue of honest employ ment from them, and driven them to the sand hills to starve and die; or else they depend up on stealing from the planters' hen-roosts, that they may not starve. They are the lowest, 13 most degraded, the most ignorant class of the Northern Creditors and Southern DeUtors.

The President also furnishes a communica tion from Gen. Grant, in which that officer says, he had free conversations with the people of the South, during his recent tour, and is satis fied that the people have accepted the present situation in good faith. Gen. Grant also says, there is such universal acquiescence in the au thority of the general government throughout the country visited by him, that the mere pre sence of a military force, without regard to num bers, is sufficient to maintain order; and he says the" good of the country and economy re quire that this force should be white troops. In the House, Mr Fames worth offered a pre-amble-and resolution instructing the committee on elections to examine into the alleged disloyal statements of Harris, of Maryland, and report the same to the House, together ''with such ac tion as tbey may recommend to be adopted. A resolutiou was adopted in the House by more than two-thirds majority, to submit to the Legislatures of the several States, an amend ment to the Constitution forever prohibiting an assumption of the Confederate debt. December 20. In the Senate, Mr Wilson called up the Senate bill. to maintain the free dom of the inhabitants of States lately in rebel lion. Mr Sumner addressed the Senate in favor of the bill. He said that when he thought of what occurred in the chamber yes terday, in an attempt to whitewash the unhappy condition of the rebel States, he felt that he ought to speak of nothing else here to day. He read a number "of letters from the South, private and public, to show that the spirit of the rebel lion still existed. Mr Saulsbury said that, from indications, there was to be a split in the Republican party, and if President Johnson stood by the princi ples of his'spectal message he would promise him the support of two millions of people who did not vote for him at the late election. Mr Cowan controverted the statements' of Mr Sumner, which he said were all based upon annouymous letters. In the House, Mr Stevens introduced a bill to double the pensions of those who were made pensioners by the casualties of the late war; to pay the damages done to loyal men by the late Rebel government and Rebel raiders, and en force the confiscation laws so as to pay the same out of the confiscated property of the enemy Both Houses agreed to adjourn until the 5tb of January.

In the debate in the Senate, on the 13th, Mr Saulsbury said, in reply to Mr Trumbull, "that he did not see how gentlemen, holding that the Southern States are not io the Union, can re. gard the Constitutional Amendment as adopted. It required three-fourths to adopt the amend ment, and -tfifit number could not be obtained without counting the Southern States." The cutting off of debate, by the majority in the- House, has thus far rendered the proceed ings less interesting than usual, and the galleries, especially the ladies' seats, have been but poorly filled. The' only speech of any length yet made, was adroitly put in the other day by Mr Chanler, of N. Y., in opposition to Mr Farnsworth's reso lution on the right of colored soldiers to full citizenship. .Legislation having in view the obstacles to speedy tjial, of Jeff. Davis, has already been in augurated: Twvmis have been introduced into-the Senate; -. jrf one into the House, pro viding that in certain cases of trial for treason, no mao shall bo d-eemed to be an incompetent juror because of having formed or expressed an opinion based upon uewspaper reports, or the current history of the day, provided that he shall take an oath that he can still, render an impartial verdict upon the evidence before him This over-turns the principle held in all courts of justice heretofore, but as it affects no crime but treason, and as any man who has not formed an opinion m the cae of Davis, is manifestly unfit to sit as a juror, it cannot be deemed to work to the detriment of impartial justice. It is given out semi officially at ths State De partment that there is no danger of a rupture with France. The President sustains the Sew ard diplomacy. The President's Message, enclosing the re ports of General Grant, General'Iloward, &c , on the condition of the South, has been read in the Senate, and is very conservative. Mr Sum ner pronounced it a white-washing message, only paralleled by that of Pierce on Kansas. Some surprise has been expressed at the long adjournment of Congress from December 21 to January 9. It is reported that the recess has been taken to enable Senators and Representa tives of the Radical stripe, to manipulate the Northern tate Legislators, nearly all of whom wilf be insession after January l,.so as to se cure an expression of option against President Johnson's plan of reconstruction' as well as a decided endorsement of the Stevens-Sumner programme. . . Congress will vote an extra hundred million additional National Bank issue thus swelling the total'to four hundred millions. There will be a breathing spell when this sum is reached. I hear that the Senators and Representatives from the South yet remaining here have held a meeting, and resolved upon leaving for their homes. With scarcely a dissenting voice, the conclusion was arrived at that there was no hope for their admission within the next three months, if at all during the session. The proclamation announcing the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment, in which the President recognizes all the Southern States, and withdrawing the Military Governor from Ala bama, is the principal theme- in both Houses of Congress. It is in direct antagonism with the views of,Congress. - Secretary Stanton has written to intimate per sonal friends in New York, that he will resign his place io the Uabinet' immediately after the first of January.

This state of things is deeply to be lamented by those who look with alarm at the rapid growth of intemperance in the State.
