WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Weinesday, Angmt 23, 1865. LETTER FROM JUDGE LOIHRANE Atlanta, August 16,18657 Editor Atlanta Intelligencer : Dear 8ir I regret my condition pre vents my complying with your request this evening in addressing my friends ot this city, and take this occasion of Btating my gratifi cation at the evidences oi industry and spirit which 1 see around me. Some tew weeks ago 1 went through Atlanta and met only ruins; the deal seemed, to inhabit as with ghosts the streets; the sound ot the living was like the echo of despair; piles ot brick were tumbled together on the high ways and scarce a hope seemed to live in the deserted thoroughfares. This day met the spirit of energy, moving into action; I heard the music of labor, the ring of the ~ hammer, and saw the smiling face of Hope and Enterprise, where ruins blackened to the eye. I saw stores and mansions lifting their heads to the sunshine, and lelt your city would soon put off her garments of mourning and laugh like a bride iu the em brace of prosperity. What Atlanta is doing must be done by the whole 8tate; and Geor gia must rise from failure and disaster to life and iadustry. The abolition of slavery is no cause for despondency; for all the proph ccics that this disaster would prostrate the interests of the people; that your streets would grow up with grass, your houses be come tenant less, your homes desolate, and the land covered with rags and poverty, have flitted away with the evidences of the present. Slavery is abolished and not a single house can be obtained tor rent; prop erty nas in many places, been'enbanced in value, and the fl jw of capital already start ed will rush ou for investment, to an extent that will raise the brightest hopes of the fu ture. The decrees of Providence, exhibited in our failure, will, I trust, briDg to light brighter dreams ot glory. The great ques tion for statesmanship is the solution of the Free Labor system. We must grasp the full import of duty imposed upon us by the crisis. The idea that the com’ng conven tion may adjourn after recognizing slavery at an end, and the State go into the Union on the presentation of sne'a constitution is a fallacy. We must go iurther and give the guarantee of constitutional protection to the rights which freedmen have acquired by the results of the war. The dominant party, which has fought for years in the press, the forum and the field to abolish slaver; after four year's war costing millions to the country, and the sacrifice of lives, mw that victory is upon their ban ners, and a majority in Congress of largely over one hundred votes, are not going to allow the admission of Southern delegates until the full results ol lire struggle are ac knowledged and asserted, beyond the ca price of men, or the voice of legislatures. It will bo imbecility to expect Georgia to assume her position by the votes ot men who have fought this question, without we discharge duties imposed by the crisis. We must not only acknowledge the freedom of the slave, but we must go farther: we must recognize his right to acquire property— the right to testify in courts for its protec lion and his own, and placj crime and po lice regulations upon a common principle of legislation. We cannot have distinctions of class in crimes—all violators or law mu9t stand equal before tho law, and our legislature control the policy of interest by general laws adopted to preserve the peace and order ol society against all rogues and vagabonds of every clars and color. This principle of public policy will savo us from Negro Suffrage; and this last dogma we must resist; for the Negro, though free, must be an inferior in the privileges of citi zenship. The Government of the United States is a Whiteman’s Government; and while under the benignity of its laws, industry, and person, and property will be protected, we cannot consent to lower the standard of oar civilization, we must teach the freedinan his duty, as well as proclaim his rights, his responsibilities must be made known to him; and the follies which have entered bis brain with his new born freedom must be driven out. We must be just to the. whites as well as to the blacks; and fanaticism on this subject will only lead to trouble, flattering the negro into a position of folly, that will impede the progress and industry ol the country. On this subject I am proud our people are so unanimous, accepting the full length and breadth of the failure, and its legal and prop er results. We have a spirit of pride still left, that leads us to the support of President Johnson, and the great Union Party of the North and West, which so fuliy maintains the equalities of the States and citizens, and granting protection to the freedman, is still just and statesmanlike to the true interests of the country. Hoping the country will rally to the prin ciples of public policy laid down, - 1 aui, very respectfully, O. A. LOCHR ANE. THE CONSPIRATORS. From the Washington Chronicle, Ang. 9th. In the course of a pleasant conversation with Captain George W. Dutton, Company C., 10th Regiment Veteran Reserve Corps, who has just returned from the Dry Tortu- gas, we have obtained some interesting facts relative to the conspirators, a id their trip to the rock-bound fortress, which is to be (for three of them,) their last earthly home. Captain Dutton, with a sergeant, three corporals, and twenty-six men, reported at the Washington Arsenal on the morning of Sunday, July 16, and, taking charge ot the prisoners, placed them on board the steamer State of Maine, bound for Fortress Monroe, which point they reached at 4 p. m. on the 17th. They were then transferred to the Florida, Captain Budd, all on board with the exception of Gen. Dodd being entirely ignorant of the vessel’s destination. At dark on the 19th, the Florida reached Port Royal, S. C., where she discharged a cargo of cordage, &c., and coaled. On the 21st she sailed for the Dry Tortugas, reach ing that barren and inhospitable spot on the 24th, just one week after her departure from Fortress Monroe. During the voyage all the prisoners were more or less afflicted with sea-sickness, and at one time half of the guards were unfit for duty. Dr. Mudd and Arnold were par ticularly wretched. Spangler, although quite sick, was given to practical joking. Finding that, while sick, he could get from the Surgeon, Dr. Porter, & modicum of French Brandy, he concluded to take sick at various odd times, always with pains, for which vini galliei spir- if us is supposed to be a sovereign cure; but his trick was discovered, and he wks, much to his chagrin, compelled to quaff Jamaica ginger in place of the more palatable- bever age. He was generally quite talkative, and ex pressed himself as being satisfied with the action of the Military Commission, but con tinued to assert his innocence of participa tion in the crime of assassination. In a con versation with Captain Dutton, be remarked that he knew nothing of Booth’s designs, and that even after the murder, while Booth was passing through the theatre, he-was unaware of ihe foul deed which had been committed. “The fact is, Captain,” said he, “Booth was a privileged character at Ford’s. He had the run of the house at all times, day and night; bad access to the dressing- rooms, and frequently came to the rehears als unannounced, and always by the rear entrance. He was a great favorite, and spent money freely. Whenever he came with his horse he always called lor me to groom the animal, and i have many a time blacked his boots and done other menial work for him. 1 did not close the door be hind Booth. It wis a spring door, which you can se? when yon get back to Washing ton, and closed of itself unless you held it open. There was nothing unusual in my bolding Booth’s horse on the night of the murder, for I had done it twenty times be fore. I didn’t see how the Commission which tried me could have decided other wise in my case, considering the evidence; but I am not guilty of having auythiug to do with the crime.” Spangler was very lively during the voy- sge and several times rau up the ladder from the hold, three steps at a time, heavily ironed as he was. He was quite jubilant over the idea that he would not be a pris oner for life. “I’ll come out all right - six years is not such a long time after all,” said he. “You need not felicitate yourself on having a short time to slay, Spangler,” said Dr. Mudd. *‘I don’t know where they are taking us, but if it is to the Dry Tortugas, there is no more chance for you than for me. None of us will live more than two A gossiping correspondent says that Miss Braddon, the novelist, has her domes tic dark spot She is not the wife of Max well, the publisher, at whose boara she sits, while Maxwell’s wife is confined in a mad house. The pair live at Windsor. The Savannah Herald of the 31, an nounces the arrival in that city, of Captain Carter, A. Q. M , in charge ot $3,000 in sil ver, and $2,000 -in gold . This money is said to have been scattered by Mr. Davis in his flight, near the re3»dence of llowell Cobb, late general. C. 8. A Capt. Carter was en-roate tor Charleston, S C.. from which point the coin i? to b; 3'upoed to the North. _ ‘iST'The Richmond Whig makes a shrewd argument against uepro suffrage.

Up to this time, not a word had been dropped in reference to the ultimate desti nation of the conspirators, but they had oc- cupid themselves in discussing the proba bilities of a residence at Albany, a-trip to some port on the Gulf, or a sudden death by drowning. O’Laughliu was, very re ticent, rarely entering into conversation even with his fellow prisoners. Mudd carried with him a printed copy of the evidence educed during his trial, and took great pleasure in picking it to pieces. He is described, by our informant, as a man of good education, considerable shrewdness, and strong rebel proclivities. He was never off hiS guaid, always pondered a question well before returning an answer, and inva riably spose of Mrs. Surratt as having been unjustly executed. It will be remembered that on the trial, Mudd denied all knowledge of Booth previous to the visit of the lame assassin to the Doctor’s house, but to Capt. Dutton he confessed that he was acquainted with Booth for some lime before the mur der. In regard to that deplorable crime, he asserted that he did not know of it uutil af ter Booth’s departure. Mudd was very gloomy during the voy age, and fears were entertained by his guard that he contemplated suicide. He was ac cordingly closely watched, very much to his indignation. “ Why do you beep me so closely guard ed said he to the officer in charge of him. “Because,” said Captain D , “I am afraid I may lose you. ” “How lose me? There.is surely no chance for me to escape here, and you do not sus pect that I would kill myself?” “That is just what I fear, and until I get my receipt for your body from the com mandant of the post to which you are con signed, I deem it my duty to have your ev ery step strictly watched.” “Well, Captain, you need have no fear on my account 11could put an end to my mis erable existence, but for the thought of eter nity. 1 am »if aid to die, although I can beaf this terrible life, which is t=o much W-Orse than death.” When oft' the coast ot Flouida, the weath er being warm, the prisoners were allowed to sleep on deck, and during the day their, irons were removed. They were very grateful for this unmerited kindness, and showed their appreciation by giving as little trouble as possible to those who had charge of them. When the steamer came in sight of the Dry Tortugas, on the 24th, and it was made known to the criminals that this treeless, lifeless place was to be their prison, their emotion could not be checked. They cried like children, Mudd and Arnold in particu lar, evincing the most poignant grief. The former paced the deck, wringing his hands, and exclaiming time and again, “There is no hope for me.” Arnold bewailed iiis fate in piteous tones. He said, “if this were Albany, or any other place where my moth er and sisters could sometimes see me, I might bear my imprigpnment, but here I shall have no one to live for.” Mudd de* dared, when his paroxysm of grief had sub sided, that he should lose no opportunity to effect his escape. When asked where he would go if he succeeded in eluding the vigilance ot the garrison, he cried out, “Home I Government would not touch me there. It could not hunt me down in the midst of mj wife and children.” Shortly after the landing of the steamer, Colonel Hamilton, 110th New York Volun teers, commanding the post, proposed to as- sign Dr. Mudd to duty as hospital steward, and Arnold as clerk, and provide the others with employment to which they were best adapted. __ On the following day the Florida left for Key West, to coal, Spangler sending to Mr. Ford, by Captain Dutton, a message to the effect that he (Spangler) was innocent. The steamer was detained for two days at Key West, and after taking in coal start ed lor New York, where she arrived in due season. From the Nashville Union Many of the Northern papers have adopted the short-sighted, or malicious pol icy, of seizing upon isolated instances of violence and crime in the Southern States j—especially, if the negro is in any way a victim—and commenting upon them to the prejudice of the returning loyalty and sense of justice of the Southern people. * This course is extremely reprehensible. The great majority of the Southern .people are as free trom violence and crime as*any oth er people on the globe. They participated in the rebellion, because they were led to believe their rights ot liberty, property and the pursuit ot happiness were in danger: but, having been defeated, they have accep ted the result, and are desirous of conform ing to ft, and re-establishing themselves un der the protection of the Federal constitution Some may make false steps—bad men may commit crimes—byt it is manifestly improper to hold all responsible. Tht: Southern people must not be judged by the expressions of opinion from this or that man, nor by the actions ot others in a pri vate capacity. When they speak through regularly constituted bodies, representing public sentiment, then it will be proper to weigh their acts, and if found wanting, to condemn them. Suppose we were to take up the records ol crime, wesee daily in the newspapers, and as-utne that they represent public sen timent and morals in the North. We might point to the murder by a son of a mother and sister for money ; ot a father and moth er by a son ; « f the barging by a mob of negroes; and the ordering ot others out oi a State by unauthorized authority. We might, hold up the statement of the Wash ington correspondent ot the Pittsburg Com mercia), which declares of the National Cap ital— “Oar city is at present a huge den of high way robbers, burglars, and garroters — There is scarely a night but some person is knocked down and robbed in the most fre quented streets of the city. Hardly a night but dozens of houses are rifled ot articles by tbe cart load. Men cannot go to market without having their pockets picked. No arrests are made.” Or we might reter to the startling fact that within the past three months more than twenty thousand persons have been arrested in the city of New York alone, tor. crimes representing all grades, lrom murder, arson and theft, down to drunkenness. We might refer to the thousands of other in stances of crime and violence, with which the press teems; but who would justify us in declaring them to be but the offspring of Northern society,—as n flections if the spirit and character of the people ? Still it would be quite as ptoper for such interences to be made, as many that the Northern press deduce from isolated in stances of crime in the South. Let us ali be just and honest. See things as they are, and deal with them iu a spirit of toleration and fairness. TBE GREAT NAVALENGAGEMENT BETWEEN BRAZIL AND PARA GUAY. New York, Aug. 11.—The following ac count of the naval engagement on the Pan ama River, is given in the Journal tie Rccifi: At 8 o’clock A. M., the Paraguayan ves sels were seen to descend the river, and about 9 o’clock they were within roach of their, enemy, and at once opened a furious fire. The Braz lian account, the only one which has reached us, admits that the Paaaguay ans fought with the utmost bravery, aud the result was for sune time doubtful, until the Brazilian steamer Amazonas, being con verted into a ram, made terrible havoc among the enemy’s fleet, sinking three steamers, the Paraguay, Salto and Jeghuy, and one floating battery, and compelling one steamer aud five batteries to surrender. The remaining tour steamers, which were likewise considerably dam aged, then retired. The battle lasted until 4 o’clock P. M. The Paraguayans, who supported the fire of their fl.*et by a land battery of thirty gun?, are reported to have lost 1,500 men of their squadron, and 500 of the land battery. The Brazilians estimate their loss at about 300 killed, wounded and missing. Nothing could excci d the ferocious valor of the Par aguayans ; they seemed determined to con quer or die. Among the wounded prisoners who fell into the hands of the Brazilians, was Roble, commander of the Salto, one of the sunken steamers, and a brother to the command ing General of the Paraguayan army in Corientes. Hia wounds were tenderly dressed by-the Commander in Chief of the Brazilian fleet., Barosa, but Roble with his teeth. tore off the bandages from, his wounds, preferring death to captivity. Most of the commanders of the Paraguay an vessels are among the dead.' The artil lery, ammunition, banners, &c., are im mense. The wat material fell into the hands of the victors. hs arguments put f >rth with such relentless force by a certain class of men in Massachusetts, not very many years ago, in favor oj protecting the ballot with the prima ry qualification that every voter should at least be able to read and write, retnrn upon the heads of those same men new with a force which they certainly ought to feel.— Then it was not so true as it is now that suffrage was “an inalienable right,” as Mr. Ward Beecher maintained in Faneuil Hall. Then there were certain social interests as well as political rights and powers to be guarded—and how so eff dually guarded as by certain healthy restrictions, of univer sal application, laid upon tbe ballot f The education and elevation ot those who sought to become voters was declared to be a ce cessity in the State. But on a sudden a new tune was played, out of the same in- strumen , and by the same performera— Those who were so sore that tbe ballot and intelligence should go together, are sure of exactly the contrary now. Thi Chief Jus lice ol the United States tells a 9eiect as semblage &t Dartmouth College that the black man, so lately ground down in the degradation of servitude, is just as fit to vote as any of the educated men who beard his voice; that any man was qualified to be a voter it he knew enough to take a ticket from the hand of 8 unebody e’se who made it up for him. and deposit it at the polls.— We do not wonder that the audience was dumb with amazement to hear such a the ory from such a source. It this is the top and crown ot our system of judiciary, of what particular service is our legislative or executive department In co-operation ? But people are inquiring to know what haa be come of the old arguments for education before being admitted to the fnll ei jayme^t of those rights which citizenship coolers.— Boston Post.

The Nashville Daily Press <& Times of the 12th instant, publishes the following letter, stating that it came to light under the fol lowing c'rcumstances. “ The letter was captured with tt mass of other papers, by Col. James B. Browidow, at Bellefont, Ala lamhf iu 1863, and lay unopened lu a box whose contents were investigated for the first time last Wednesday, at t-be Capitol.— It is a telegraphic copy, a fac simile of the Ex-President’s hand-writing, and bad evi dently been published by the rebel leaders in that form tor broad cast circulation over the South, in order to ‘ fire the Southern heart and precipitate a revolution.” Here is the letter verbatim: Clarendon Hotel, Jan. 6,1860. My Dear Friend : I wrote you an unsatisfactory note a day or two siuce. I have just had a pleasant interview with Mr. Shipley, whose coui age and fidelity are equal to his learning and talents. He says he would rather tight the battle with you as the standard bearer iu 186 J-ihan under the auspices of any other leader. The feeling and judgement of Mr, 3., iu lhi3 relation, is, I am confident, rap idly gaining ground in New England. Our people are looking for the “coming man ; one who is raised by all the elements of bis character above the atmosphere ordinarily breathed by politicians; a man really Sited for this emergency by his ability, courage, blood, statesmanship and patriotism. Col Seymour (Thos. H ) arrived ti is morning, A — kin Viinma in I kici t*o!.ition in and expressed his views in this relation, in almost the identical language used by Mr. Shipley. It is'true that in the present state of things at Washington, aud throughout tn country, no man can predict what changes two or three months may bring forth. Let me suggest that iu the running delegates in Congress full justice seems not to huve been done to the Democracy of the North. I do not believe that our friends at the South have any just idea of the state of feeling, hurrying at this moment to the pitch of intense exasperation, between those who respect their political obligations, and those who have, apparently, no impelling power, but that which fanatical passion, on the subject of domestic slavery imparts. Without discussing the right—of abstract power to secede, I have never believed that actual disruption of the Union can occur without blood, and, if, through the madness of Northern abolitionism, that dire calamity must come, the fighting will not be along Mason and Dixon’s line merest. It will be within our own borders, in OUR STREETS, BETWEEN THE TWO CLA! SE3 OF CITIZENS TO WHOM I HAVE BEFERRED. Those who defy law and scout constitu tional obligations will, if we ever reach THE ARBITRAMENT OF ARMS, FIND OCCUPA TION ENOUGH at home. Nothing but the state of Mrs. Pierce’s health would induce me to leave the country now, although it is quite likely my presence at home would be of little service. 1 have tried to impress upon our people, especially in New Harap shire and Connecticut where the only elec tions are to take place during tin corniog Spring, that while our Union meetings are •all in the right direction and well enough for the present, they will not be worth the paper upon which their resolutions are written, unless we can overthrow political abolitionism at the polls, and repeal the unconstitutional and obnoxious laws which, in the cause of “personal liberty,” have been placed upon our statute books. I shall look with deep interest, and not with out hope, for a decided change in thi3— (word illegible) Ever and trulv your friend, FRANKLIN PIERCE, Hon. Jeff. Dayi?, Washington, I). C. CHARACTERISTIC LETTER FROM HORACE GREELEY—HIS RELA TIONS WITH THE TRIBUNE, The “white-coated philosophei” of the Tribune, writes the following note to “Ag ate” of the Cincinnati Gazelle : New York, Aug. 4. Friend Reid Thank you for yours of the 3d. Your enquiries are laughable. The facts are these: ~ We elect an editor of the Tribune annu ally bv a stock vote (one hundred shares one vote each) Once, many years ago, fwovo’es were cist against me for editor— none before or since. I have never heard that any stockholder desired my withdrawal from the Tribune. I mean to reduce my work on it at the earliest moment, and have so sta'ed to all who have a right to kuow. I am over whelmed with labor. I grow old, and want rest and comfort. My idea is to get some body else to take the laboring oar, reeeive the kicks and cuff j, and let me farm a little, travel a little, fish some, and write when in the spirit. Such is my dream. I hope to realize at least a part of it during the year 1866; but may not till some time later. You know how circumstance--, c mired every thing. At present I am writing about an average of two columns per day lor the Tribune— too much ; 1 mean to write ksa whenever I can. That's all /know about tbe matter. Per haps they know more at the Herald office. Vol. II., I grieve to say, does not get on so fast as it should. I have too much other work, a very sick wife, and am not very weli myself, and tbe weather is good for coi n and turnips, but bad lor history. I hope for im pact vement in many if not most respects.

It appears from the infor mation we have been able to gather of the melancholy occurrence that the rash act was caused, without any real foundation, by tbe promptings ot the gret u t y< d monster called jealousy. John Bright, a- Union soldier, re turned from the service on Monday last, with ihe determination, as evinced, to kill Dr. Colburn of that plac ’, whose moral rep utation was not good, for insulting his wife, which insult is said to be no more or less than that the Doctor was sceD, when upon a professional call upon Mrs. Bright, some time since, to kiss her, which liberty was resented by his wife, and the physician dis charged. Hearing of this affur from some communicative friend, before ard alter bis return, Mr. Bright resolved on. shooting the offender. Meeting the Doctor in the after noon of the fatal day, the sff .ir was talked over and an amicable settlement agreed up on, by which the Doctor was to call at Bright’s house the next morning, talk the matter over, and make the amende honora ble S3 far as possible before and to Mrs. Bright. Here the parties turned front each other to their respective homes, and they hael gone but a few steps when Bright, stopping, turn ed suddenly around and, iu a violent man ner said to the doctor: “We will settle the matter right here this evening.” Accom panying the words with the action, he drew revolver from hi? pocket and shot the doctor when Dot over six paces from him the ball striking bim in the side and pass icg entirely through his body. The doctor then started on a run toward a marsh close by, and the assassin, thinking he had not killed him, fired at him without effect twice more, and snapped his pistol a third time. His weapon failing to fire on the fourth at tempt to discharge it, he threw it away as being worthless. Bright, seeing the-doctor still alive and cared for by the citizens, who had gathered on the alarm, said that he was sorry be bad not killed him. The doctor lived until next morning, when death relieved him of his sufferings. He was buried yesterday.— Bright stayed at bis home until next day, saying that he would stand all trials, when, doubtless, becoming frightened in view-of the results of the case, lie-lett, and has not since been heard from by the authorities or the people in that locality.

The clerk’s office of tlie Hastings Court being vacant in consequence of ihe inability of the clerk elect, Mr. Robert Howard, to qualify, because of tbe non-exis’ence of the Court, no marriage licenses are issufd there from, or deeds recorded therein. Noj can such official act be legally done. The Gov- ernor alone can iesue marriage certificates >r the city t f Richmond. Several days since an officer of the Uni ted States aimy applied to the clerk for le gal permission to take captive a fair damsel of the city. The clerk stated his inability to furnish the necessary bit < f paper? referred the officer to the Governor. The Governor furnished the necessary permis sion, aod the officer carried it j-rylully to Dr. fiiianegerode, who was to perform the hymenial service. The Rev. Dr., skilled in such manors, was a little c.uu ious and ap plied to Judge Lyons for the law. The Judge, well versed in law, informed him that, a3 the statutes stand, auy minister who performs the marriage ceremony for per eons not in possession of a proper, legal certificate, issued by the cierk of some court, laid himself liable to prosecution, and six months imprisonment upon cenviction.— So, we believ>‘, the knot, remains untied, and the biidie at l&rge for the present. This is a nice embmglio for yonng cou pies contemplating matrimony. But tfo-re are remedies it» all cases, except where the lady resides within the corporate limbs, when tbe gentleman may obtain a license from any of the operating County Courls, or they may both fly to some “ Gretna Green,” and there cooaumw He their vows.
