Memorial Adopted by the Georgia
Convention.
Mr, Anderson, of Chatham, from tbo
cominittco appointed to memorialize tho
President in reference to tbo pardon of
political prisoners, made tho following ro*
port:
Milledqeville, Oct. 30th, 18G5.
To Ilis Excellency Andrew Johnson,
President of the United. States :
Tho delegates of tho State of Georgia,
in Convention assembled, do earnestly in
voke tho Executive clemency in behalf of
Jetlbrson Davis and Alexander H. Ste
phens, and James A. Sodden of Virginia,
A. G., McGrath of South Carolina, Alli
son and David Yulcoof Florida, and II.
W. Mercer of Georgia, now confined as
prisoners, similarly circumstanced.
Your Excelloney has been pleased to
restore Mr. Stephens to his liberty, lie
returns to tho gratv ful poop.o of thisStato
us u solemn pledge of tho magnanimity
which rules tho public council.-; and bis
great name and inllucnco will hi* potent to
rovivc the amity of tho past and fructify
the wise and generous policy wiiich your
l.'wmllnum- ii, u .1I .. I I...
Excelloney has inaugurated. Embolden
ed by ibis example, impelled by the purity
of our motives, and stimulated by tbo
prayers of a numerous people, wo appeal
clemency in behalf of tbo distinguish-
for
ed persons we have named, Restore them
to liberty and to tho embraces of their
families; translate them from captivity to
tho light of freedom and hope, and tho
gratitude of the prisoners will bo mingled
with tho joyful acclamations which shall
ascend to Heaven from tho hearts* of this
pcoplo.
Jcflerson Davis was elected to bis high
position by our suffrages, and in response
to our wishes. Wo imposed upon him a
responsibility which he did not sock.—
Originally cu posed lo the sectional policy
to which public opinion, with irresistible
power, finally drove him, he became the
exponent of our principles and the leader
of our cause. He simply responded to
tho united voice of his section. If ho,
then, is guilty, so are we. Wo were the
principals, ho was our agent. L tnot the
retribution of a mighty nation bo visitod
upon his head, while wo, who urged him
to his destiny, are sullbred to escape. The
liboral clemency of the Government has
been extended over us; we breathb the
air and experience tho blessings of free
dom; wo therefore ask tfiat tho leader,
who, in response to the democratic in
stincts of his nature, the principles of liis
party, and the solicitations of his section,
became the head and front of our oilend
ing, shall not no’w be bruised for our ini
quities or punished for our transgressions.
Mr. Davis was not tbo leader of a feeble
and temporary insurrection; he was tho
representative of gnat ideas and tho ex
ponent of principles which stirred and
consolidated a Humorous and intelligent
pcop 0. This people was lwel his dupe;
they pursued the cuuso they adopted of
their own free will, and lie did not draw
them on, but followed alter them. It is
for tnoso reasons that wo invoke tho Ex
ecutive clemency in hn behalf. His frame
is feeble; his health is doiicate; ail broken
by tho storms of citato, ho languishes out
in captivity a vicarious punishment for
the acts of bis people. Thousands of hearts
are touched with his distress; thousandsof
prayers ascend to Heaven for his relief.—
Wo invoko in his behalf the generous ex
ercise of the prerogative to pardon which
llio form and principles of Llio Constitu
tion oiler as a boneficenl instrument to a
merciful Executive. Wo ask tho continu
ance of that career of clemency which
your Excellency has begun, and which
alone, wo oariu-Lly believe, can securo tho
truo unity and lusting greatness of this
nation. Dispensing that meicy which is
inculcated by tho example of our great
Master on high, your name will bo trans
mitted to your countrymen as ono of tbo
benefactors of mankind. Tho Constitu
tion of our country, renewed ai d fortified
by your measures, will once more extend
its protection over a contented and happy
people, founded, as it \siil bo, upon con-
sont and affection, and “resting, liko tbo
great arch of the Heavens, equally upon
all.”
The memorial was unanimously agreed
to.
Presidcnl’s Proclamation.
"Whereas, it has ph ased Almighty God
during tho year wmeh ip now coming to
an end, to rocluim our beloved country
from the fearful scourge of civil war, and
to permit us to secure the blessings of
peace, unity and harmony, with a great
enjoyment of civil liberty ; and, whereas
our Heavenly Father has also, duffng the
year, graciously averted from us tho ca
lamities of foreign war, pestilcnco and
famine, whilo our granaries are full of the
fruits of an abundant season ; and where
as, righteousness exaltoth a nation, while
sin is a reproach to any pcoplo.
Now, therefore. 1, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United .States, do hereby
recommend to tho pcoplo thereof, that
they do set apart and observe the first
Thursday in December as a day of nation
al thanksgiving to tho Creator ol tho uni

and 1 do further recommend that on that

the way of virtue and holiness.

Nigger Under Straps.—A nigger’s
power of imitation is grout. Night beforo
last Sara Copeland, a nigger so black that
it would require the light of a candle to soo
his noso in daylight, made his appearance
at llio circus, neatly clad in a Federal suit
of cloth, with a flowing sash of red tied
around him, his bands, liko n pair of can
vassed hams, in white gloves, and upon
his shoulders were a pair of LioutoRani’s
straps, largo enough for teamsters’ sad
dles. The door-hooper, seeing he was an

The Coming Religious War.
Tho St Louis Missouri Republican of
a late date 6ays :
Tbo Now York Observer, a religious
newspaper, published in tho metropolis,
and very widely circulated among Cnris-
Lians ot all denominations, not long ago
in an article upon tho “Missouri Oath of
1 urgation,” remarked that tho permis
sion of test oaths in this country will leud
to a war, compared with which tho war
just ended will bo poace. It is said : “No
wars on earth are more hateful, inveterate
and bloody than religious wars. And
they aro provoked by oncroRchmenU of
too .Suite upon tho independence of tbo
Church.”
Wo regard the prospect of another war
us very lair. Wo wish no war. Wo wish
for peace. Wo are endeavoring with all
the ubility and energy which we possess
to prevent war, by putting a stop to thoso
"encroachments of the State upon tho in-
depondonco of tho Church,” ot which the
Observer speaks, liut corning ovonts east
their shadows before them, and wo fear a
religious war is inevitable.
From the foundation of our Govern
ment no principle of American policy has
been more tiimly sotliod than the entire
separation of Church and State. Their
spheres are distinct—their functions aro
different, liefore tho war all parties woro
agroed tliut tho church must not decide
political questions, and that tho Stale
must not docido ecclesiastical questions.
Sinco the outbreak of tho inbollion,
howovor, this principle has boon practi
cally disregarded, both by Church aud
Stale. Tho Church has assumod to de
cide tho political question of National or
Stalo supremacy. The Stato lias assumed
to determine what are the proper qualifi
cations of a minister of tho gospel, and to
forbid the preaching of tho gospol with
out tho Stuto’s formal permission, lioth
Church and Stato have transcondod their
respective spheres; nnd tho result is a
quarrel, which must ho stopped at onco,
or it will end in blows. Tho proper
courso for both parlies is to roeodo from
tho l'also positions which they have re
spectively assumed, and this is what
neither party seem disposed lo do.
Wo apprehend that tho ultimate result
will ho war. As jjot, the altiludu of par
ties upon tho quosliou of roligious freedom
is not clearly delined. At prusunt, tho
country is exhausted. Timo is necessary
for oiganization and recuporation. But
the had passions aroused in tho rocent
struggle aro still active. And if tho Btuto
continues, in tho languago of tho Observ
er, to "encroach upon tho independence
of tho Church," within live, or ten, or
twenty years, wo shall soo a renown! of
hostilities upon an entirely diSoront basis.
Tho question at issue will be: Shall
( ’hurl'll HIIll Safufn lui nnilfwl ? It It. ill K..
VOL. VII.--NO. 262.
Church and Stato bo united ? It will bo
a war—not ono of section against another,
but of tho next-door-neighbor—-a war for
and against tho freedom of religion. On
saying this, wo do not threaten. Wo sim
ply prodict what is likely to occur.
Church and State have hitherto been
soparnted. They cannot be* united with
out wur. The peace of the oountry de
pends upon iho maintenance of the sepa
ration between them.
That the tendency of tho times is to a
union of Church and State will hardly be
questioned. Such a dosign is not avowod
—but in more than one quurter tho desire
is secretly entertained. Moro than one
religious sect would liko to bo tbo Na
tional American Church—and tho dill'or-
ent sects vie with ono another in their
b^ds lor the favor of politicians. The
great questions of tho day—a question
whose magnitude and importance is not
yet appreciated by the masses—a question
upon which it becomes every man, in or
about tho Church, to make up his mind—
is, as wo have said, “Shull Church and
State bo united ?
If so, what Church is most likely, in
fact, to bo the National Church? The
Prosbyterian? The Baptist? The Meth
odist? The Episcopalian ? or tho Roman
Catholic? There cannot be much doubt
upon this point.
But it cannot bo. No Church in this
country can wield the powor of tbo State.
Neither cun tho State, for any length of
liiiiU'Succcod in the attempt to abridge the
lroodom of tho Church, Such an attempt
is hopeless.
Wo plead, thoreforo, with all who favor
tho restrictions imposed upon tho clergy
by the late Convention in this State, not
to persist in a courso which will inevita
bly plunge tho country again into war
and in the' — * *'
— ... „„„ end cover themselves with
• batno and disustcr. In tho words of
Senator Brown, “It is tho initial of such
infractions [upon religious freedom]
which wo should opposo. There is no as
surance against such ending, excopt tho
repression of euch beginning.” Sound
philosophy and excellent udvico. Will it
eo heeded ? We shall see.
Horrible Death from Hvdroimio-
in a.—Edwin Bartholomew, ono of the
unfortunate persons bitten by a rabid dog
in Ibis city last June, died of hydrophobia
about livo o’clock this morning. Wo un
derstand Mr. B. complained of boing un
well day before yesterday morning, but
thought nothing of his illness until yo.stor-
day uftornoon, when ho wont to consul Dr.
Torrence. During the day he acted very
strangely, accusing bis friends of boing
afraid of him, and thinking him mad. At
ono timo ho became Quite ungry at a friend
who mot him at tho doctor’s oillco. Luto
in the afternoon ho was attacked with a
sovero fit of hydrophobia. The local ed
itor of tho Herald thus describes his visit
at this time:
“Wo visited tho room in which ho was
confined, and behold a spectacle which out
did all tho horrors that we havo ever wit«
neased or beard of.
“Tbo young man was a raving maniac,
and'Wus the subject of tho most dreadful
ol visions. From ^is mouth tho poisonous
frothy saliva flowed in copious quantities,
and bis eyes—wild, glaring nnd enlarged
—almost started from their sockets, whilst
his hands woro in motion all the timo, as
though grasping at something or defend
ing himself from somo imaginary person
who was attempting bis life. Ills ravings
were really appalling. Un wus not secur
ed at a late hour, although well guarded
by some of'our citizens.”
About an hour beloro his death tho pa
tient became perfectly quiet, and talked
rationally with Sheriff Humphroy and
others until a few moments before dissolu
tion took plucc. ile told them bo wnssuf*
fering from the hydrophobia, and would
die shortly.—(juincy, (??? ) Whig, loth.
Tho steamboat competition between
Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia, is get
ting to bequilo exciting. Tho Old Bay
Bine having reduced their fare to Ihreo
dollars, tho new line determined nut to be
outdone, and ordered a corresponding ro-
duclion. Tburcuuon the old lino reduced
to fifty cents. This was something of a
“stunner” to tho new lino, but at a moot
ing of their agents they concluded that tho
public would not be salibliod with the
enormous faro of fifty cents and reduced
it to twenty-iivo. In this section such a
reduction in fare, where tho boats furnish
meals, as these two lines of steamers do,
would offer a tempting inducoiuent for oi:u
to luke up his ab#Je altogether on the
steamboats.—Atlanta Intelligencer,

; ^7 consequence of tho genoral ignornneo

The rate of postage on lettors within tho
united States is 3 cents for ovory letter or
sealed package weighing one ounco or

and 3 cents for every additional ounco.
1 repayment with stamps in all casos is

Mb. Blaze.—At Nova I am called on,
shortly aflor my arrival, by an athletic,
scarlet-faced man, who politely says his
nuino is Blaze.
“I have u littlo bill against you, sir,” ho
observes.
“A bill—for what?”
“For drinks.”
“Drinks?”
“Yes, sir—at my bar. I keep tho well
known ui.J highly respectod coffee bouso
down street.”
'But, my doar sir, there is a mistake. 1
never drank at your bur in my life.”
, sir. That isn’t the poi
“I know it, sir. That isn’t tbo point.
Tho point is this: I pay out my money for
good liquors, and it’s tho pooplu's own
fault if they don't drink them. There uro
tho liquors—do ns you please about drink
ing them, but you must pay for them.
Isn’t that fair?”
His onormous body (around which Puck
wouldn’t put a girdle for forty dollars)
shook gleefully whilo I read this eminent
ly original bill.
Yours ago Mr. Blaze was an ngont of
the California Stage Company. There
was a formidable and well organized op
position to the California Stage Company
at that timo, nnd Mr. Blazo rondorod them
such signal Borneo in his capacity of agent
that they were vory sorry when ho ton*
dored his resignation.
“You aro somo sixtoon hundred dollars
bohind in your accounts, Mr. Blazo,” said
the President, “but in view of your faith
ful and efficient sorvicos, wo shall throw
off eight hundred dollars of. that amount.
Mr. Blazo soomod touched by this gen-
orosity. A tear stood in his i.*3’o and his
bosom throbbed audibly.
“You will throw oil* eight hundred
dollars—you will ?” ho cried at last, seiz
ing tbo President’s hand and pressing it
pnssionately to his lips.
“I will,” returned tho President.
“Well, sir,” said Mr. Blazo, “Pm a
gentleman—I am—you bot! And I won’t
allow no staeo company to surpass mo in
nolitoness. I'll throw off the other eight
hundred dollars, and we’ll cull it square!
No gratitude, sir—no thanks—it is my
duty!”—Artemas Ward.
Tho Paris correspondent ol the N. V.
Times writes that the cholera has broken
out at the French capital spontaneously,
and not by contact with the points where
it is raging in tho South of Franco. Tho
disease has appeared principally at Mont*
martre, La Chappeilo and tho region
around tho Northorn Railway station.
The hospital Lariboisiore, situated near
the station, has contained from Uvonty to
thirty cases daily for five or six days,most
of which have been fatal ; but tho facts
uro not published otherwise thun at the
medical societies and in tho medical journ
als. Tho writer says that if the cola days
only arrive soon, tho city will probably
oscapo this year, and perhaps altogether,
the epidemic disease which is raging at
Marseilles and Toulon with such intensity.
Tho following is said to bo the copy of h
letter sont by u mom her of tho legal pro
fession to a person who was indebted to
one of bis clients: Sir—1 am desired to
apply to you for ono hundred dollars duo
to my client, Mr, Jouc?. If you send mo
the money by ibis day weok, you will
oblige me; if not I will oblige you.”
Foot Hack.—Mr. Adolphus Fitzpat
rick, of Chattanooga, will run a foot raco
* rllle *
>ver tho Nashville Course on Monday.
November 20th. Mr. W. C. Miller, of
Nashville, has made a bet of one hundred
dollars to eighty that Mr. Fitzpatrick can
not run one tnilo in five minuter. The
latter gentleman lias accepted the wager,
and fuels confident of his ability to per
form tho feat.'— RaskvilU Ga-.ettc.
Sisterly Affection.— At a protracted
meeting, hold not a thousand miles from
BaUlon Spa, an ancient sister arose and
relieved herself as follows:
I sou young ladies boro who seem to
lovo gewgaws, furbelows, ribbons and
