The Georgia Legislature. Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 22 --Gov. Brown sent in a special message yesterday, in which, in view of the election of Lincoln, and in order to unite and promote the sentiment of the State, he recommends that the Legislature (the people having failed to do so) choose Presidential Electors on Saturday next. The recommendation was adopted. R. B. Rhett, Gen. Pillow of Tenn, and E. Ruffin of Va., were invited to the floor of the Senate. Ex-Gov. McDonald is at Marietta, Ga., and too feeble to go to Milledgeville and cast a vote as Breckinridge Elector, even if the Legislature were to choose him. It is probable the Legislature will take a recess after the 1st prox.--some think adjourn some to a fixed time, and some say until called again by the Governor. There was a killing frost here this morning.

e not burned.--The windows were broken, and the inner walls defaced with charcoal scribblings of the most rascally character. The following chaste epistle, written with a pencil, was found in the house after the miscreants had departed: Mr. E. Ruffin; "They tell me you did fire on Fort Sumter." Taking pattern from some epistles left by your chivalry at Yorktown, &c., I have thought it not out of place to leave this note. We leave here in a few minutes, and feel sorry at so doinge we have taken of your property, you will no doubt thank us, but don't mention it. Please forward this to the editor of the Petersburg Express, or Richmond papers, and oblige a Penna Reserved Yankee, alias "McCall's Dutch." P. S.--What do you think of me, anyhow? Mrs. Martha Cocke, of Tar Bay, a neighbor of Capt. Ruffin, fared no better. The whole of that flourishing vicinage has been reduced to a state of desolation, from which it is feared it will not recover for years.
