OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
[From Our Special Correspondent.]
New York Citt, Oct. 25, 1865.
Murdei—Fire.
In the records of the local news of this "Em
pire City,” the moot prominent items are the per
petration of murder in some form or other, or the
wholesale destruction of property by fire; occur
rence; which are of the most lamentable frequen
cy in th's overflowing hive of human existencSj
and daily accumulation ot wealth in commercial
pursuit*. Murders have become familiar, and the
alarm bells announce the rage of fire, in some
district or other, at almost every hour of the day
and night, and often several times during the
same hour. In the Courts of Justice, constituted
for tbo administration oi the law and the repress
sion and punishment of crime, the functionaries
are never unoccupied, and the calender of crime
presented at the opening of each succeeding term
is appalling, and yet regarded with comparative
indifference by the vast majority of the citizens of
this groat center for the arrival and departure of
men from all parts of the world, irrespective of
the hundreds of thousands of its own denizons-
Hence the Court of General Sessions for the trial
of persons accused ot orime is crowded with per
sons, many of whom, if justice ruled supreme,
should be inside, not outside, the iron bars of the
duck, and hence when the toll of the fire bell is
heard multitudes scamper off in the affray, and in
ignorance of the locality in which the calamity of
lire is at full -age, run along in a career of mad
ness, and, cutrunning the Fire Brigade in itg
laudable andMaborious duty, arrive first at the
'■conflagration,” not to assist in arresting its pro-
gre but to obstruct those who would.
The Sen- York Times, for several months
past comes forth every Monday mornnig with
:’n: fearful announcement: “The usml Sat-
Sights Murder.” It [is a deplorable
slate of society to be contemplated, that a
gentleman, the conductor of a great public or
gan of public events in the silenae—perhaps
ot midnight—of his editorial bureau should in
the discharge of his public duty deem it
a section of that duty to declare in print before
die world that the outrage he is recording is
only the “usual Saturday night murder” in
the city of New York.
On Saturday a monster whose name is John
Came, was taken into custody for a hartal out
rage, not to be named, on his stepdaughter a
girl ol tender years. In resisting the officers
at his arrest he fired four shots at them, but
finding hims elf overpowered he turned the re
volver upon himself and discharged two barrels
at his own head, the monster is still living un_
der surgical treatment. J :
dohn Johnson, a young man of bad repute,
was shot dead by officer Edward McWilliams’
of this city of Jersey Police force. The alter •
ration occurred in the populous thoroughfare
Thames street and, _the verdict returned by
a coroner s jury was that the detective officer
shot the assailant’in self defense, and McWil
liams was accordingly discharged from cus-
t0| iv, he, in the first instance, having surren
dered to the officer on duty in the locality.
James Lynch was stabbed by Henry Allen in
Maiden Lane, on Sunday morning, at about one
01 lock. The disabled man is under treatment in
hospital, and the offender held in custody.
hwen Hart was committed for trial for firing
fjjor shots from a revolver at one Gaffney, wbosa
wounds are considered dangereus if not mortal.
■James H Jordan, a native of Savannah, in
^“rgia, was committed on a charge of having
jrerpetrated several acts of larceny.
T w° burglars fired two shots, happily without

American curities hold their ground in
the estimation of capitalists disposed to invest

Gold during the last two days receved a small
fraction up and down from 146 to 146 1-2. Yes
terday morning the market opened at 146, and
an active business was sustained to the close,
when the price ruled at 146 1-8 with a free
dom of disposition to do business at that
figure. This morning rates are about the
same, with an appearance of further anima

The Cholera has broken out in Brooklyn. The
utmost alarm prevails. Energetic measures have

basis, or upon tho value of Confederate Trea
sury Notes, which notes have ceased to be a
currency, and is the State neither promises to
pay Specie or Bonds for them, there may be
some difficulty in equitably paying or liquida
ting them immediately and ‘getting; them out
of the way. Should the Legislature deem it
oquitable to pay them upon the basis of what
one dollar in specie would have purchased in
corn, meal and other provisions at the date of
their issue, then it might, perhaps, take from
$900,000 to $1,200,000 to redeem them and
the Change Bills, which would reduce the
debt to a little over $15,500,1)00; but should
the Legislature deem it equitable to redeem
them at only what they would have brought iu
gold at the date of their' ‘issue, which was
about 19 for 1, then it would take about $324,-
000 to cancel these Notes and Change Bills,
(amounting together to $6,169,265 88,) which
would reduce the debt to less then $15,000,-
ooo.
In addition to the debt above stated, there is
also due about $l,0l7,00u buck interest on the
State debt—the holders of our Bonds, for several
years past, preferring to hold the Coimons on
the Bonds, rather than take Confederate Treasury
Notes for the same.
Assets of the State.
To meet this debt aud to pay the interest od
same, Georgia has not only her taxable wealth,
which in 1860 was returned for taxation at near-
ly $400,000,000 after excluding slaves, but she has
the following public property, viz :
7,000 shares ol Stock in the Atlantic
& Gulf Railroad $ 700,000 00
2,209 shares of Stock in several Banks
4290,000 00 Central Bank Assets .. 1,500,000 00
Also, her Western & Atlantic Rail
road, which paid into the Treas
ury,in I860, as net earnings, $450,-
000, and before the rise of all kinds
ot property, was valued by a Com
mittee ot the Legislature, at 7,S49,224 68

Making the whole indebtedness
of the State in bonds and Treasu
ry Notes of all kmds $20,811,535.85
As there are between $3,000,000 and $4,
000,000 of the taxes of last year still unsettled
on the books of this office, much of which, it
is presumed, is in the hands of collectors, it is
not unreasonable to suppose that $500,000
$1,000,000 of the Treasury Notes of the last
issue, are in the hands of the collectors, which
will reduce the above debt that mnch- The
collectors have been ordered to send all the
money they have on hand, to the Treasurer,
by the members of the Convention from
their respective counties.
It will be seen that $6,000 Central Bank
bonds due in 1859, and $10,000 of similar
bonds due in 1861, have not been present for
payment—at all events they are not marked
paid on the bond book. But, as the State has,for
several years past, at different times, redeemed
bonds not due, it is possible these bonds have
been paid, and the fact of payment omitted to
be entered on the bond book. But, if paid,
they are sealed.pp ip packages, in the Trea-
office, which neither the Treasury or Comp
troller General can open without authority
from the Legislature.
It will thus be seen that the State is now
indebted in bonds to the amount of $6,084,-
250—$234,000 of which being past due, are
not paying any interest. The remaining bonds
now out are paying an annual interest of $385,
710, viz; $3,529,500 7 per cent, bonds, $247,-
065 00; $2,258,750 6 per cent, bonds, $134,-
445 00,- and $72,000 5 per cent, bonds, $3,600
00; which amount of interst will .be reduced
each year as the bonds become due or are re
deemed, It will also he seep that the-State
is_ pledged to redeem six months after a Trea-
of Peace, m Specie or bonds, $8,538,000 of
her Treasury notes, which, if redeemed in
bonds, would make her bonded debt $14,642,-
250.
The State, however would still have outatand-
r 8 w 1 !’? ° f Tre t? ary Note «. payable in
Confederate Treasury Notes, if presented with
in three months after maturity, otherwise not
redeemable except in payment of Public Dues

Total $9,731,624 68
In response to the request of your Excellency,
that 1 report also upon tfie amount of the Public
Debt now due that was created before the war,
and the amount created since the Ordinance of
Secession, the objects tor which the same was
created Ac., I have the honor further to report
that th# amour t ot Bonds issued before the war,
and now unpaid, is $’,677,750—the amount au
thorized to be issued before the State seceded, and
now remaining unpaid, (inc.udiog $2,677,750.) is
$3,645,350.
That your Excellency may better understand
the matter, I will date that toe item of $100,900
ol 6 per cent. Bonds due in 1861, in the table
above, although not issued until Frebruary, 1J61,
(after the Ordinance of Secession,) yet the same
was authorized to bo issued by Act approved Feb
ruary 28th, 1856, authorizing Bonds to be issued
to pay the subscription to the Atlantio and Gulf
Railroad, and these Bonds were issued for that
purpose. Again, the items of $25,000 and $842.-
590, due in 1S61, in the same table, although not
issued until February, 1S61, and May, 1862, yet
th y were authorized to be issued by Acts ap
proved Nov. 16, 1860, and Dec. 16, 1861. Tbe
Act of Nov. 16, 1S60, in view ot the condition of
the country, appropriated $1,000,000 as a Mili
tary Fund, “for the purpore of placing tho State
in a condition of defense,” and authorized the
issue of Bonds of $500 each, payable 20 years
from date, bearing 6 per cent, interest to meet the
same. On the 1st of February, 1861, said Bonds
$6 068,250 j to the amount of $867 500 were prepared and
6,00(1 ready for issue. The Banks agreed to let the
10,000 State have the money for $842,500 of the same,
but thought 6 per cent, interest too low. The
$6,084,250 Governor, however, agreed to recommend tho
ensuing Legislature to ailsw them 7 per cent,
interest. Consequently, on the 16th December,
1861, an act was approved, authorizing the Gov
ernor to cancel all said bonds that were issued to
the Banks, and to give them in lieu of the same,
Bands bearing 7 per cent, interest; which was
done on the 1st of May, 1862.
In relation to the last item of $2,441,000 of
bonds ip said table, I have the honor to state,
that, by an act of tbo Confederate States’ Con
gress, approved August 16, 1861, a tax was
levied upon the people of Georgia, for the sup
port of said Government; and bv act of the
Legislature ot Georgia, approved Dec. 11, 1861,
the State of Georgia as-umed to pay the taxes
assessed against her citizens, and directed the
Governor to “cause to be issued bonds of this
State, payable in such sums, and such time aud
place, and bearing such rate of interest, not ex
ceeding 8 per cent, per annun, as will enable
him to raise and obtain the necessary means for
”tying such taxes, Ac.” Consequents, these
onds were issued and sold to pay said tax.
In cqnneotion with the sale of tbese bonds I
will here remark that too much praise cannot be
given most, if not all, of the leading or promi
nent Banks of the State of Georgia, for their
patriotic conduct on this occasion, Money at
that time was very scarce and the demand
great—the Confederate Stales’ Government aud
other States, and individuals, were anxiously
seeking it at S per cam. interest. Nevertheless,
these Banks, and others, had not only but a short
time before advanced to the State, as a temporary
loan, about $2,000,000 of their bills, receiving iu
ayment for the same, Georgia non-interest
earing Treasury Notes, bnt upon being ap
proached by the Governor aud Comptroller
General, and having unbounded interest in the
integrity and honor of Georgia, they immediate
ly came forward and agreed to take $1,920,000 of
these bonds at 7 per cent., provided the coupons
or interest were paid quarterly. In my Annual
Report of the 2lst Oct., 1862, after giving the
names of the several Bauks taking these bonds
the amount taken by each, 4c., the following
language is used, viz :
Although Georgia seven per cent. State
Bonds now stand high, and perhaps are prer
ferred to those-of any other State by capital
ists generally, yet the Banks above named
deserve credit for patriotically coming forward
at the time they did, when money was not
deemed so plenty, and other States and the
Confederacy were paying 8 per cent, and tak
ing so largely of onr seven per cent, bonds.—
Had they not done so, perhaps the State would
not have fared so well in raising this large
amount at the proper time.”
What are called the 8 per cent. Treasury
Notes, dated February 2d, I8C2, were authori
zed to be issued by the 11th and 13th Sections
of the General Appropriation Act, approved
D^c. 14, 1861. Tbe 11th Section of said Act
appropriated $200,000 to the Georgia Rebel
and Hospital Association, and to meet the
same the Governor was authorized to issue
“Treasury notes to be fundable in eight per
cent bonds, when the sum of five hundred dol
lars shall be presented at the Treasury,” jtc.
and the tbe I3lh Section read? as follows; ’
‘‘Sec. 13. In case, at any time, the money
Should not be in the Treasury to meet any of
the appropriations herein made, the Governor
is authorized to have issued and used to meet
aby deficiency, bonds bearing not more than
8 per cent, interest, or Treasury Notes, as he
ipay deem best; said bonds, when issued, not
jo run for a longer time than thirty years, and
redeemable at any time after five years from
their date, at tbe option of tbe Governor.”
But at the time tbe credit of Georgia was so
bigh, Gor. Brown felt that he could save the
nterest during the war tq the State, by issu-
ig said notes under the 13th Section of said
i .cf, and hy placing them as nearly as possible
upon a footing with bank biils, and he there
fore made them redeemable as follows:
"The Stale of Georgia will pay the bearer
dollars in eight per eent. bonds or specie,
si* months after* Treaty of Peace, or wbep the 1
Banks ofSavanffaS ktd 'A’d^osta resume specie
payment,-f before thattime.” "Receivable in
payment of all dues to the State, and. to the
WsMenwA Attentie Railroad.”
By this maonez of issuing these notes, instead
ofisguing bonds, tbe State has saved np to date
abont $9pp,ppQ pfiinteipet. ; They, -were issued in
payments to tSe Hospital and Relief Association,
iu payments to the Public Debt, in payments to
officers and members of the Legislature, and
salaries of other ciril officers ot the Slate, and
other expenditures of the State. They were also
.authorized under 22d Section of General Appro
priation Act of 1862. Before they were issued,
however, the Banks advanced to the State about
$2,000,000 of tbeir bills, aod received payment
for the same from theState in these notes. There
were also $170,000 of these S per cent. Treasury
,Note issued in January, 1865, under the follow
ing circumstances : The Constitution of tbe
State having provided that no Legislature should
increase the pay of its own members, and the
Legislature before the last having failed to in
crease the pay of members of the Legislature
above that received in spec e paying times, and
tbe Legislature 011864 finding the Confederate
currency much depreciated, and feeling that
they were not authorized to increase their own
pay, and not being desirous of raising tbe salaries
of tbe other civil officers of the State, that body,
in the General Appropriation Act, approved
Nov. 18th, 1864, and another Act, approved
Nov., 1864, authorized and required the State
Treasurer to pay the members and officers of
said Legislature, and also to pay the civil
officers of the State their salaries for the political
year 1865 in said Dotes, as they were the best
currency the State could command, and up to
May last, when payments under Confederate rule
were discontinued, the sum of $170 000 was re
quired by the Treasurer for that purpose.
Concluded To-morrow.

Correspondence Between the American Minister
and Karl Russell. ■
Important diplomatic correspondence between
Mr, Adams, the American minister,' and Earl
Russell, is published in tbe London - Gazette of
thd lith instant.
The correspondence begins with a letter from
Minister Adams, dated tbe 7th ol April last, in
which he calls the attention of Earl Russell to
the official reports respecting the ravages of’ the
Shenandoah, and anndunces that forthe damages
caused by such cruisers bis government cannot
avoid entailing the responsibility upon Great
Britain. i >
The reply of Earl Russell is dated Vay 4. He
says that the duties of Great Britain toward the
United States are not measured by the losses
which the commerce of tbe latter may have sus
tained. The question is simply whether the
Queen’s government have faithfully and honestly
performed the duties which international laws
and their own municipal laws imposed upon
them.
The reply of Mr. Adams is dated May 4. He
says that the insurgents became belligerents on
the ocean solely by reason of the facilities fur
nished in her majesty’s ports for them to do so.
He comnlains of the secret sympathy of her ma
jesty’s officers in the port of Liverpool, and con
tends that, after the information which Oe sup
plied respecting tbe Alabama, it was by the
flagrant negligence of her majesty’s board of
customs that this vessel admitted to be intended
for war purposes, was suffered to depart from
Liverpool.
An interval of three months elapsed between
the above letter and Earl Russell’s reply to
it.
In response, Earl Russell proceeds to j ustify
the course of her majesty’s government
in recognizing the belligerents, and reasons
are given why there was extreme difficulty in
giving orders to exclude from British ports ves
sels of war partly fitted up in the United King
dom,
A very important point is referred to in this
letter. Earl Russell notices a statement in a let
ter from Mr. Adams, in 1863, as to the govern
ment of Washington being ready to refer these
disputes to arbitration.
Earl Russell declines this offer, and says it
is a question in the first place, whether the
Queen’s government have acted in good faith
in maintaining their neutrality, and in the
second-place, whether the law officers of the
crown have correctly interpreted a British
tatute. ICarl Russell continues:
‘‘The Queen’s government can refer neither
of these questions to arbitration.” The words
used by him are as follows:
Her Majesty’s government are tbe sole guard
ians of tfieir own honor. They cannot admit
they have acted with bad faith in maintaining the
neutrality they professed, The law officers of the
crown must be held to be better interpreters of a
British statute than anyforeign government can be
presumed to be. Her Majesty’s government must
tfierefjre decline to make reparation and comgen-
sation for captures made by the Alaomna, or to
refer the question to any foreign state, Her Ma
jesty’s government conceive that if they were to
act otherwise, they would endanger the position
of neutrals in all future wars. Her Majesty’s
government are, however, ready to consent to
the appointment ol a commission, to which shall
be referred all Claims arising daring the late civil
war, which tne two powers shall agree to reter to
tbe commissioners.
The reply of Mr. Adams is dated the 18th of

; ®r. Adams considers that there is now no“oisI
pute as to tbe fact that the recognition of the
Sou\b Uji.beUigqrepts was such an act as wss never
done by one nation tow»r.d another in a state of
amity. H- charges the British Government with
having acted wiihout knowledge a id upon pre
sumption in assuming thtj the evideriee of the
blockade of tl^e ^outhorn porta was imperfect.—
The blockade, he says was the conse
quence, hot the cause of British polioy.—
He thinks that the only exouse for the
British government is that its conduct
was precipitate He then intimates that ij the
doctrines and practices of tfi* British govern-
meqt are allowed tu become ‘he rale, the United
fitaUx will not be tree greatest hsers t/t*reby.
Mr. Adams does not ajyear to think that the
proposal of Earl Bussell to refer the questions in

United states Government. e J

There may, perhaps, be negligence without
such gross culpability as id render ns liable for.
all tbe damages which the escaped privateer per
petrated. But if our views on these questions
should differ from those of the UuitedSlates, and
they should insist as peremptorily upon tbeir
claims as we upon our denial^of responsibility,
what then ?• Are we to run tl?e risk of rupture
rather than consent to arbitration ?
We await tbe instructions irom the United
States Government with much apprehension, and
dare not say wbat effect it will have upon the
temper of Englaud, nor what disastrous dis
turbance of the friendly relations between tbe
two countries may not result from a deliberate
attempt to appraise tbe losses caused by Con
federate cruisers upon England, and to exact
payment for them.

WASHINGTON CITY, lstfOttobe* 1865.
This Work pt which! have been Editor and Proprie
tor for over Twenty Years, which has had a
very heavy subscription and advertising list In every
part of the Union, Is now established on a secure and
permarent. basis.
My purpose in the future is to give it a National
Character, and tb devote all my energies and re
sources to the development of the great material inter-
terests of the Union-it B Commerce, Agriculture,
Manufactures, Internal Improvements, and General
Industry.;
In addition to these important topics, the work will
embrace discussions upon such great questions of leg
islation as affect the relations of the States, the per
manency of the Union, and the honor and prosperity
of the Country.
In an especial manner will it be devoted to the re
establishment of Southern Prosperity, and
the bnildlng np of ita fields of industry and enterprise,
rendered necessary under the new and altered condi
tion of things.
The restoration of the South can be effected upon
the basis proeeded by the President, and no gaeater
field could be opened for the investment of c ipital now
invited thither from every quarter. Its abundant and
fertile lands invite emigration, which it will he a
prominent object to secure.
Regarding the issues ot the past as dead, about which
a practical philosophy will not dispute, and those ef tho
present as living and potential, it is the part of the
Rbwisw to acceptin good faith the situation, ai;d de
duce from’t all that can be promotive of the beau in
terests of the whole Country.
Offices of the Review will be located at New
York, Washington City, Charleston, Nashville, and
New Orleans.
