Editorial Correspondence.
Milledoeville, Nov. 24,1863.
Dear Courier: Perhaps the most im*
portent Bill of tho preterit session was
taken up in the Housb yesterday. It
is "a Bill to bo entitled oh Aot to ap.
proprioto money for the support of in
digent families of Boldiers who may be
in tho public serviae and for the sup
port of indigent soldiers who may be
disabled by Wohnds or disease in the
service of tills State or of the Confed
erate States, for and during the year
1664, and to provide for the application
of the siime to the purpose aforesaid,
hhd for other purposes.”
The BUI was reported Vy the Finance
committee as a substitute for several
Bills that had been referred to them.
The report proposed an appropriation
of five millions dollars to oarry out the
purposes of the Bill. The Bill was
taken up by sections. On tho motion
to«trike Out five millions, dollars and
insert six millions h very lively disous
sion ensued* in which Judge Linton
Sttophens, Wright of Coweta, Bighnm
of Troup and others n participated-
The two former favored the amend-
ment and the lalter opposed it. Mr.
S. made a very eloqueel and forcible
speech. He was in (aver of economy,
but asserted that the State actually,
owed to the indigent soldiers’ families
a support and he was in favor of accor
ding this without stint or hesitation.
He said some had made quite a flourish
about devoting the "lost man and last
dollar” in support of this war, but that
all common sense men must know that
unless we should be enabled to sthp
short of the "Inst man and last dollar”
w6 would be ruined forever. He there
fore opposed the motion of Mr. Wright
to appropriate ten millions for tills
purpose which by the Way was after
wards withdrawn—but favored six mil
ions as being probably sullicicnt. It is
estimated that there are now in the
State one Hundred thousand persons
who will be beneficiaries of this Act,
This will allow to eaoli person Sixty
dollars. Tho note to strik out five
millions dollars .Mid insert six millions
dollars was almost unanimously in the
affirmative. In the afternoon session
the further consideration of this Bill
was postponed to this morning for the
reason that so many members of the
House wete necessurify absent on com
mittees. A Bill Introduced by Judge
Hazard of Fulton ‘.'to encourage and
protect the growth of wool In the State”
but commonly known ns the "Dog
Law” was taken'up. A little sneer of
derision could be seen on the counte
nances of many when this subject was
brought up. Tho “Dog Law" has been
several times brought up in previous
Legislatures and ha*’ been the subject
of ridicule rather than of serious con
sideration. But Judge Kzzard in his
speech convinced many that this is no
proper theme for mere jest. He show
ed by statistics carefully prepared that
about seventeen millioiis dollars can be
realized from the worthless dogs now in
the State, aud this will leave one hun
dred thousand of those considered the
most valuable. An experienced tannor
has made the statement that the car
cass Of an ordinary sized dog will-yield
one and a half gallons of oil- worth
$15,01) per gallon making $22,50; and
that the untanned hide is worth $8,50,
making $31,00. The estimate is that
there are 200,000 dogs in the State more
than can be of any real service to any
(icily, mid as enoh one of these cun lie
made worth $31,0U it will make an ag
gregate of $5,200,000. Every two dogs
consumes us much food as one hog.
Thus the worthless dogs in the State'
prevent the raising of 100,000 hogsi jj
theqe weighing say150 lbs. each at 50
oents per pound would be worth $7,500-
000. The number of sheep actually,

An Important Decision.—We haVo
beOU-furnished by one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court, with the follow
ing note of the principal points deci
ded by (hem at the late Miliedgovilie
Term, in a case of impressment of su.
gar in thh bands of u merchant:
1. The Congress of tile Confederate
Staid's lmve the constitutional power to
authorize, by statutd, the accumulation
of supplies for fiitiifo use of thu uriny
by impressment, where holders refuse
to sell at a fair price, provided, “just
compensation’’ be made or tendered
to the owner.
2. Proof that tho schedule price pre
viously affixed to the urtiofe s of the
same) kind as that impressed, by tlie
President of the Confederate Slates
and the. other by the Governor ef
Georgia, to rule -for a specified time in
the future, was tendered to the owuer
js ; ,not sufficient evidenco of a lender
“■of,juvt compeiituition.” ;
3. In .such, a case, in the absence of
other proof t.hat the prioe tendered,
wasjust compensation, mid espeoinlly
(us in this case) with prnef that it was
not so, the impressment cannot be sus
tained.
4. Just compensation should lie as-
certained bv the appraisement of the
property impressed at tlie time and
place of imprets*UK*nt, by appraisers
fairly and impartially appointed.
5. Where there i- no sufficient evi
dence that just component in.i has Iieen
tendered (except in case of urgent ne
cessity admitting of no delay) tlie ofli
cer will be held to have taken the prop
erty by violence, unauthorized by ihe
existing law, arid n proceeding by pos
sensory warrant, under the act'of 1821,
is an appropriate and rightful remedy.!
