Col. George R. Fall, a leng time editor ot the Missiseippian, and a leader of the old democracy of Mississippi, but who has for a long time been living in retirement in. the country, is now in ear city, we learn, at the St. James Hotel.

No man of his day generation exercised more influence in that frreat State, and no man is now more respected in his retirement. rpm i no AMENDMENT. The text of Gov. Palton's message to the Legislature of Alabama, on the subject of the constitutional amendment, does not confirm the reports received by telegraph that he had directly recommended the ratification. He repeats his personal repugnance to the amendment.

But what he advises is, that the Legislature should look their true condition full in the face in the light of the late in his opinion; show it to bfe the unalterable purpose of the men who control the National Legislature to enforce their own views by means which will immeasurably augment the distress which now exists, and inaugurate confusion, the end of which no human prescience can foresee." The inclination of the Governor's mind plainly was towards yielding to duress, submitting to one cruelty and opposition to avoid the worse evils which were threatened to be the consequences of a protracted resistance to the will of unlimited power. Before the consideration of the Governor's message, it was understood to be the purpose of the Legislature not to act on this subject before the middle of January. The mes.8ge brought it rip, and it was disposed of promptly. It came up in the form of a report from the Committee on Federal Relations, recommending 'the adoption of a resolution, refusing to ratify. This was passed 27 ayes to 2 noes.

The resolution went to the House, and was instantly adopted there by 69 to. 8. Several motions were made for delay. Among them was one suspending the decision, to wait the effect of a petition to Congress to consider and determine in a formal manner on 'what conditions Senators and Representatives from that State would be admitted into Congress, the terms to be submitted to the vote of the people of Alabama in any way Congress may direct. These and all propositions for postponement were voted down by large majorities, with the final result we have stated, of tbe rejection of the amendment in both Houses.

It is said that on the day these votes were given, a dispatch was received from Mr. Parsons, the late Provisional Governor, advising that the amendment should not be ratified, and urging that the views of President Johnson should be firmly sustained. The press writers say, that the fate of the amendment was already fixed, and was not affected by this action from Washington. The action of the Legislature was had on the 7th four days after the meeting of Congress, and nearly a week after the first preliminary caucus of the Republicans of the House of Representatives. The vote of Alabama is therefore decidedly and irrevocably tor rejection.

Some very unusual exertions appear to have been made to influence farther opin ion in Alabama, by the argument of terror into consenting to the amendment. Judge Busteed, lately of New York, 'who is the United States District Judge of the Alabama District, has made the topic a subject of judicial charges to the grand his recent court terms. A a' 'aajiaail to a grana jury is one oi me new things which have come np, in these latter days, to confuse all the notions we were brought up in concerning the proprieties of judicial conduct. He seems to have had a suspicion that he was doing something liable to be censured, when he took pains to deny that he is influenced by any miserable propagandism," when, as he protests, he is only influenced by a desire for the restoration of the people of the States to their practical relations with the General Government, by urging them to accept the terms of Congress as the best they can ever get, and te ratify what he calls this most censequential measure." We never knew any public man, or public body, travel out of their own proper sphere of duty, without this same plea, that they were actuated by some pressing desire to do good to do good to somebody that had no right to expect it. That is Sir Morton Peto's defence for his banking defalcations, and stands sponsor for.

a thousand other failings andbackBlidings, of which the con sequences have been pernicious. The Judge attempts to prove that it is a constitutional duty to approve the amend ment, because it is offered by a majority and is approved by the clearly expressed views of a majority of the people and he proceeds then to lefute himself. He says Our Government is one of a constitutional and not of a merely numerical Sab mission to the clearly expressed views of such a majority is the duty of every citizen it is more than their duty, it is patriotism. The amendment, he thinks, it the duty of Alabama to accept, is, at the best, only the expressed opinion of a numerical majority in part of the States. A constitutional majority, for ratifying it, is twenty seven States.

Ten States have, by the constitution, the authority to reject, and ten States have, therefore, the constitutional effect of a majority to reject. The Judge's mode of statement requires that the numerical majority, as citizens and patriots, ought to submit to the constitutional majority his de mand for the adoption of the amendment is, that the constitutional majority shall give way to the numerical majority, and ratify an odious measure, under the menace that the constitutional majority shall be bitterly punished for not surrendering their constitutional privilege. The logic of the Judge is sadly out of sorts with his advice, for that which he warns tbem not to do is strictly their constitutional right to do; and the terrors he holds np to them are such as, by his own theory, no citizen; or patriot can entertain. We might analyse the Judge's haran goes still further by questioning whether he is correct in point of fact in alleging that even a numerical majority of the people have declared for the amendment. The figures would shew otherwise if the.

vote could be taken per capita in all the States to which the amendment is proposed. It would show, without any doubt, a numerical majority of the people of the Union, that is of the individual voters of the Union, to be with the twelve States, which number were the constitutional majority against the amendment. The 'objection on the part of the Radicals to this might be, that ex Confederate States are not States in the Union at all, uatil tfccy are formally readmitted. But ALABAMA AND Judge Busteed could not take up, this plea without a still further infelicity of logic. Alabama be not a State in the Union, how came Judge Bus'eed to be there as a judge The ceurt over which he presides is a court created by an ancient and unrepealed law for a State, and is also a subdivision of a' circuit of the Supreme Court of the United States, established by law, within a judicial system, which exists only for States, and does not embrace the territories at all.

All the courts of territories are special courts, created by special statutes, and there is no statute other than the original act dividing the State of Alabama into districts, which makes a place for Judge Busteed. If Alabama be not a State, there is no lawful court there, and he is not lawfully judge. Perhaps it may have crossed his mind, as one of the consequences of the refusal of Alabama to ratify the amendment, that the State would be put back into a territorial condition, and new courts be made, or old ones made new, by new laws, and with new judges. The judiciary of a territory is so radically distinct from the judiciary of the United States, as organized by law into a system, that fresh legislation will be indispensable in the event of the success of the Radical plan of disintegration. The Legislature of Alabama has, however, thought that even this consequence does not make the amendment palatable nor do the admonitions of the Judge appear to have impressed the Alabama people he addressed in this excentric way for the public opinion, as manifested in the Press, is very, strongly, we think unanimously, in favor of the action of the Legislature.

Territorial Gor.imment for the Southern States. In the United States House of Representatives, the subjoined resolution, introduced by Mr. Uroomull, was adopted by a vote of 107 yeas to 37 nays Resolved, That the Committee on Territories be instructed to inquire into the expediency of reporting a bill providing Territorial Governments lor the several districts of country within the jurisdiction of the United States, formerly occupied bv the once existing Stistes of Virginia, North Carolina, Sonth Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Lou isiuna, Arkansas and Texas, and giving to all udult male inhabitants born within the limits of the United States, or duly naturalized and not participants in the rebellion, full equal lights in Territorial Governments. 13?

GBEILEY AMERICAN CONFLICT, Second Volume. It is too soon to expect a history of our inte civil war nttcd to tatisry a very rigorous aemaua ior nirtfv. fomnleteness. or liunai tislitv. But to say that no history of the late war should be xriitt Ti until the highest requirements can be sat isfied, would be equivalent to saing that its his tory should never be attempted, it is dv tne emu 1s.tin eirited bv auch works as this of Mr.

Oree ley's, and bv tbe fresh sifting of materials which such works have a tendency to provoke, that we shall at leDgth come to have a history which will exiingiusn emulation in uesjmir. i rciroui cwu rlint will not cease to be memorable so lone as the annals of mankind are read, acd every writer is welcome whose explorations help prepare the way fnr in aH nnatA reMtAl I Tbe great merit of Mr. Greeley's book are its point or view and its style. It alms to be something more than a meaningless panorama of marches and battle scenes, addresaeu to tae eye. It seels to answer then uestion.

what the killed each other for. It aims to trace the beginnings ef the contest in its germs, to follow the growth ef the deadly tiee uutil it expanded its poisonous blossoms ana aroppea us outer iruic or to speax in clain language. Mr. Greelev rives his chief at tention to the gTeat contiict of ideas out of which the war arose, and by hich it was sustained. In this aim to poitrav the soul of the war rather than to delineate its features and to regard the features merely as the outward expressions or tne soul.

Mr. Greelev has seized the true point of view from which tbe histoiy ought to be written. He has thereby done a service like that rendered by a speaker in a aebate, wno correctly lays open tne nature ot tne Question. ine views or aucn a Breaker mav be far from right but that cannot de JJI1W 1J 1 11 1 1 1 lilt, CICVll HI ll 1U ICU bll7 UI giving a ngniireciinn to ineuiscGBS'on. We have mentioned Mr.

Greeley's style as a prin cipsl merit of his work. It is, perhaps, a fitter 'vehicle of argument than of continuous narrstion; but it has great excellence, oiear, terse, conti nent; aiming straight at the mark, and with vigor enouan in the bow always to reach it: never over laying the thought bv a cloud of words, either te caut he cannot make the sense clear at the first trial, or because be thinks the words fine relieved ircm dryness bv a comprsssea fervor and occasional touches of a honor whiehis reuerallv palat able, but sometimes deviates into grotesque bad taste such, according to our estimate or it, is tne style of Mr. Greeley as displayed in the second volume oi ins History, 'mere are lew styles ever written wiiicb are less encumbered with verbiage, We are the more careful to bestow this deserved praise became a creeping or a eoaring verbosity are me contemptible ainas oi writing most in ocne is tnis country. Although Mr. 'Jrt eley, in his preface, places a modxrate estimate on his battle sceues, they are remarkably apt and clear, the turning points of the engagements not being obscured by the din and smoke which make sunn a tremendous figure ia the deecriptiens given by the newspaper corre spondents duiing the war.

Mr. Greeley is churlishly nninst to Gen. McClel an. Gov. Seymour, and, on all occasions, to the Democratic Party.

We may take some early occa sion to expose tils misrepresentations; but tlieonly enectuai antidote to tne poison lniusea into a nis tory likely to become popular, is to displace it by a new history, superior la interest as well as In trntn. But with all his shortcomings. Mr. Greelev is the best historian of the war, aa yet the most valua ble in natter, tne most amgent, tne aest in point of literary execution. Until he ia superseded we snail ave.

to consult mm, as we uo tae Tory Historian Allison, for recent transactions in Eurooe. We may be vexed bv his incompleteness and his distortions, but in what other form so accessible can we rind so great a body of succinctly recited lac is iso part or nisiory is so useful, aaa at tne same time so aimcuit to learn, as mac wnicn mmediately precedes our own times. Able and iastidious men disdain to build with such imperfoct aud crumbling materiala, and the consequence is, that this portion of history is too often abandoned to literary hacks and spiritless compilers. Mr. Greeley is a man of uncommon vigor of faculties and incisiveneas of style, and until somebody shall bring better (iialiflcations to the task, we suppone we must be thankful to him for a history written bv msm of talent.

HOSTKTTBR'S STOMACH BITTEU8, AS A PROTECTIVE AND CURATIVE MRDIOtlT. Figaro Caaaot Lie The statistics of the sales of BeSTCTTltt, STOMACH BITTBR8 during too year 1863 shew that this Invaluable Stomach Alterative and Aaa bilious preparation has attained a popularity asrar be lore enjoyed by a proprietary medicine.

SUrUaj In 1853 utth Kales during the year equal Uabsat In publis fnvor that the cash receipts of tbpni! prietors and manufacturers for 1864, the teats year. of Its success, will reach the enormous sua of 75t), 000. The demand In New York aloos over one Uiousand cases per week. These business statements arc given to the wsrU, not from any ostentatious motive, but aa aa svu dence of tbe grent sanitary fact that the Bitten meet the wants and fulfill the expectation ef ths community that the public belief ia their eftoasy Increases aud extends day by day, week by week, year by year; and that those who have proved ths value of the article recommend it earnestly la ths circles in which they move, and thus give a wider scope to its extraordinary and curative virtues, the columns of the press give publicity such genetal statements of the tendency and apt ration of this PURE and POWERFUL VSQBTABI4 ELIXIR, as may1 be comprehended withla ta limits of aa advertisement, tbonsaaus and teat of thousands, who owe health, vigor, 'appetite, sa4 all physical blessings that render life enjoysslsts its effects, are continually advertising it by w4 of mouth, and by their own improved appeeraaet, among all classes of society, and in every porttei of the Western World. To these living advertiev ments, these tangible certificates of tbe health pnv seiving properties of tbe Bitters, more than tsasy other cause, their wonderful popularity Is attrlsa table.

No limits can be assigned to the ultussts demand for a preparation, that thus reader! si who use it proselytes and eulogists. One half of the adult population ef the civUiiaa1 world needs H08TETTB3 BITTERS, beesast that proportion ef them is subject, aiore or lea to indigestion. For that complaint, whether has taken the shape of confirmed dyspepsia or merely amounts to occasional pain and niifsaiiioai In the stomach and bowels, this agreeable vs table compound is an absolute specific. Commas stimulants aggravate the disease. The prsftif of taking liquor as an appetiser before meals a deadly error.

In the first place, all spirits sold st beverages are adul'erated. An analytic chemist detects active corrosive poison in the best of thsts. Even if they were free from this objection, aa as medicated alcoholic stimulant is not what tbs sa frebled stomach requires. Ln Hosteller's Blttsn, Essence of Bye, from which every acrid element kit been discharged by a special process, pre Mates a component. But this article, mild And genial at it is, could not of lt teif cure or even relieve Dyspepsia.

It is merely the vehicle which gives sa. tivity, force, searching effect to a rare rnfosloa at herbal extracts, designed in tone to regulate sad fortify the system. Without the aid of a siffiiolT stimulant, tbe medicinal properties of lasss vegetable ingredient would fail of their sffsrt. The projectile that batters down a hostile wall re, ceives its impetus ft on the powder placed behtas it, and in like manner the curative and hsalUind principle of HOSTKTTKB STOMACH BITTERS' Is made operative and irresistible by ths par Essence of Rye a hich forms their basis.

a MkmSiitA. tioa of unequaled vegetable autidedes, carried, sj It were, straight to the mark by a wholesome stia alant. Not only la Indigestion, in all its phases, peraa nenwj mum. rnred by this cslebsatsi lavigorant, but all the diseases which Dyspep sia engenders are speedily relieved by Its Xilioua disorders that have defied ths nre serlptiuns of the Mercurial School at yield readily to the anti bilious action of tas Bitters. If the thousands, who, jsfter abaa doning calomel in despair, have been cured liver disease by this unequaled Vegetable Alterative, could place their combined experience heists the world, that fearful drug would be banished from civil practice as it has already beea ifas minieusly thrust out of our military hospitals.

The sneceas of tbe Bitters in eases or HABITCAt CONSTIPATION lias been marked and striking. Their slight aperit nt operation gently remove stmetions from the bowels, snd at the same fins they impart sufficient vigor and tone to tbe awa brane which lines tbe alimentary canal to eaesls Nature to pe 1 form her most important foact'sot regularly, without any further medication. FLATULENCE, a most annoying, and ettes very painful aniiction, is not only relieved foe time being, but its recurrence prevented by as occasional resort to thin delightful stomachic: sod the same may be said ef CRAMPS IN THE STOMACH, BILIOUS CHOLIC, SICK HEADACHE, and that most psinful and depressing sensation ia ths upper part of the abdomen, which is semetisMS described as an "all gone" feeling by Dyspsptif patients. Loss of appetite is an evil that ean so If be aafely obviated by increasing tbe vigor of to digestive organs. If the palate craves ktere thss the stomach can digest, the former can only is (ratified at the expense of the latter.

Tbe pses nar merit of the hitters, as a stomachic, is that If it doubles the demands of appetite, it at the sea time doubles the capacity of the stomach tedissslve and assimilate food, so that the desire for antri ment and the ability to turn It to good aocouot ti increases pro rata, and bodily vigor is the ineTlta bio result. A person may have an inordinate appetite, and yet be as thin as a shadow and facblseis child, but aa HOSTBTTBR'S BITTERS produrss perfect accord between the requlremeocs of hanger and the power ef digestion, the attennetsd form fattens under their tonic induenoe, and wnst would otherwise be a depressing bui den ts ta system, becomes, by assimilation, healths' desk sad blood and muscular fibre. In no complaint ia tbe remedial actios of this wonderful Tonic more prompt and aei ive than CHILLS and FBVKR of every type. Taken during the cold stage, it at shortens its duration, and soon breaks np tas paroxysms. Throughout the Westeta States it ia superseding every other medieino for Inter mittent and Remittent Fever.

It has seeoro household specific in all the alluvial regions that border on great rivers, on tbe prairies, and ia every marshy and swampy district where tbe prostrating diseases prevail.
