an ordinance
To repeal certain ordinances and resolu
tions therein mentioned, heretofore
passed by the people of the State of
Georgia in Convention. r
We, the People of the Slate of Georgia, in
Convention, at our seal of Government, do
declare and ordain, That an ordinance
adopted by the same people, in Conven
tion, on the nineteenth day of January,
A. D., eighteen hundred and sixty-one,
entitled “An ordinance to dissolve the
union between the State of Georgia and
other States united with her under a
compact of government entitled “the
Constitution of the United States of
America”; also an ordinance adopted by
the same on the sixteenth day of March,
in the year last aforesaid, entitled “An
ordinance to adopt and ratify the Consti
tution of the Confederate States of
America”; and also all ordinances and res
olutions of the same, adopted between
the sixteenth day of January and the
twenty-fourth day of March, in the year
aforesaid, subversive of, or antagonistic
to, the civil and military authority of the
government of the United States of
America, under the Constitution thereof,
be, and the same are hereby repealed.
AN ORDINANCE
To prevent the levy and sale of the pro
perty of debtors under execution, un
til the adjournment of the next session
of the next Legislature, or until the
Legislature shall otherwise direct, if
before that that time.
Be it ordained by the People of Georgia,
in Convention assembled, That there shall
be no levy or sale of property of defend
ants in this State under execution, foun-
ed on any judgment, order or decroe,
ezeept executions for cost, or rules
against officers for money, and except in
cases where defendants resident within
the State have absconded, are abscond
ing, or about to remove their property
without the limits of any county in this
State, until the adjournment of the first
session of the next Legislature, or until
the Legislature shall otherwise direct, if
before that time.
Be it further ordained, Any officer, or
other person, violating this ordinance,
shall be guilty of trespass, and liable to
be sued in any court of this State having
proper jurisdiction, and the measure of
damage shall be the injury resulting to
the injured party by reason of said ties-
pass.
Be it further ordained, That the stat
utes and limitation now of force in this
State be, and the same are hereby sus
pended in all cases affected by this ordi
nance, until the adjournment of the first
session of the next Legislature, or until
the Legislature shall otherwise direct, if
before that syne.
And be it f urther ordained, That • the
statute of limitation in all cases, civil and
criminal, be, and the same are hereby
declared to be, and have been suspended
from the 19th day of January, 1861, and
shall so continue until the government is
fully restored, or until the Legislature
shall otherwise direct.
• Whereas, Many portions of this State
are unprotected by the immediate pres
ence of any of the military forces of the
United States, and there exists an unea
siness in the public mind, under the ap
prehension that civil order may be dis
turbed by evil-minded persons associa
ting themselves together, or otherwise,
for purpose of violence, and that the law
may be obstructed in its execution, for
want of adequate police force to enable
the civil officers of the State to enforce
the same; And ithereas, this feeling ol in
security tends greatly to retard the re
sumption and prosecution of the various
peaceful and industrial pursuits of the
people necessary for their prosperity and
happiness; therefore,
Resolved, by the people of Georgia in Con
vention assembled, That his Excellency,
the Governor, be, and is hereby earnest
ly requested to provide, by proclamation
to the people of Georgia, to be issued as
early as practicable,- for the formation,
in every county in this State, of one or
more militia or volunteer companies, to
act as a police force to suppress violence,
to preserve order, and to aid the civil
officers of this State in the enforcement
of the laws thereof, under such regula
tions consistent with the Constitution
and laws of the United States, and of
this State, as he mayprescribe; and that
such organizations as may be under this
resolution, to subsist until otherwise pro
vided by law.
Resolved, secondly, That the foregoing
preamble and resolutions be signed by the
President and Secretary of this Conven
tion, and that the President communi
cate a copy of the same to his Excellency
James Johnson, Provisional Governor of
Georgia, and forthwith transmit, through
the Provisional Governor, the same by
telegraph to his Excellency Andrew.
Johnson, President of the United States,
and earnestly solicit his approval thereof.
Milledgeville, Oct. 30,1865.
To his Excellency, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States :
The delegates of the State of Georgia
in Convention assembled, do earnestly
invoke the Executive clemency in behalf
of Jefferson Davis and Alexander H.
Stephens, and of James A. Seddon, of
Virginia, and A. G. McGrath, of South
Carolina; Allison and David L. Yulee, of
Florida, and H. W. Mercer, of Georgia,
now oonflned as prisoners in Fort Pulas
ki, and of all other prisoners similarly
circumstanced.
Your Exccellency has been pleased to
restore Mr. Stephens to his liberty. He
returns to the grateful people of his State
as a solemn pledge of the magnanimity
which rules the public councils, and hw
great name and influence will be potent
to revive the amity of tfce past, and to
fructify the wise and generous policy
whioh your Excellency has inaugurated.
Emboldened by this example, impelled
by the purify of our motives, and stimu
lated by the prayers of a numerous peo
ple, we appeal for clemency in behalf of
the distinguished persons we have named.
Restore.them to liberty and the embrace
of their families.- Translate them from
captivity to the light of freedom and of
the gratitude of (he prisoners
be mingled with the joyful accla
mations which shall to heav
en from tiie hearts
Jefferson Davis was
high position by our
—nwM** “
of the
elevated
peoplA
to his
inre-
^ originally ogpoaerL .*?■
tional pohey to whicff public opinion,
vith irresistible power,-finally drove him-
jj 6 became the exponent - of our princi
ples and" tiie leader of our cause, fie sim
ply responded to the united voice of his
section. If he, then, is guilty, so are
we; we were the principals—he was our
agent. Let not the retribution of a migh
ty nation be visited upon his head, while
we, who urged him to his destiny, are
suffered to escape, The liberal clemency
of the’government has been extended
over us; we breathe the air and experience
the blessings of freedom ; we therefore
ask that the leader who, in response to
the democratic instincts of his nature,
the principles of his parfy and the solici
tations of his section, became the head
and front of our offending shall not be
bruised for our iniquities, or punished
for our trangressions. Mr. Davis was not
the leader of a feeble and temporafy in
surrection ; he was the representative of
great ideas, and the exponent of princi
ples which stirred and consolidated a
numerous and intelligent people. This
people was not his dupe ; they pursued
the course which they adopted of their
own free will, and he did not draw them
on, but followed after them. It is for
these reasons that we invoke the execu
tive clemency in his behalf. His frame
is feeble; his health is delicate; all broken
by the storms of State, he languishes out
in captivity a vicarious punishment for
the acts of his people. Thousands of
hearts are touched with his distress ;
thousands of prayers ascend to heaven
for his relief. We invoke in his behalf
the generons exercise of the prerogative
to pardon which the form and principles
of the Constitution offer as a beneficent
instrument to a merciful Executive.
We ask the continuance of that career
of clemency which your Excellency has
begun, ana which alone, we earnestly be
lieve, can secure the true unify and last
ing greatness of this nation. Dispensing
that mercy which is inculcated by the ex
ample of our great Master on high, your
name will be transmitted to your coun
trymen as one of the benefactors of man
kind.
The Constitution of our country, re
newed and fortified by your measures, will
once more extend its protection over a
contented and happy people, founded, as
it will be, upon consent and! affection,
and resting, like the great arch of heaven,
equally upon all.
Resolved, That the foregoing memorial
signed by the President, and attested by
the Secretary -of the Convention, be
transmitted to the President of the United
States.
Be it ordained by the People of Georgia,
in Convention assembled, That the voters
ai those counties of the State of Georgia,
in which, £from the short notice given,
elections for members of the General As
sembly cannot be held on the 15th inst.,
as provided by the Constitution, be and
they are hereby authorized to hold said
elections on Saturday, the 25th inst., and
that the members elected as aforesaid, be
allowed to take their seats at tbe earliest
practicable day after the General Assem
bly shall convene, under the same rules
and regulations as if they were elected on
the day first aforesaid.
And be it further ordained, That three
hundred copies of this ordinance be
printed for the use of the members of this
Convention.

Bishop Gen. Polk’s Last Letter.
The Louisville Journal lias obtained
possession of the last letter written by
this distinguished prelate and soldier. It
was captured by the chief bugler of the
11th Kentucky cavalry, at Salisbury, N.
C. It was addressed, as will be perceived,
to his daughter, just after her marriage.
The original is in our possession, says the
Louisville Journal, and can be obtained
by the lady to whom it was addressed.
The editor is desired to say that the watch
of Bishop Gen. Polk, which was captured
with much other property
time, is now in the hands
gentleman, and is at the disposal of the
i deci
at tho
of the
same
same
family of the deceased.
We knew Bishop Polk personally and
well, adds the Journal, and, aside from
all political questions or considerations,
always regarded him as a pure, Christian
gentleman—an opinion that we have
nover changed. Let us not judge the
dead. To their own Master they stan d or
fall;
New Hope Church,
15 miles front Marietta, June 1,1864. _
Mv Dear Lilly : Since I heard of
your marriage, I have been more constant
and intently engaged than I have been
in any campaign that I have ever made,
and so have not found time to write to
you as I had hoped. * * . *
You have now, my dear child, entered
upon a new field, and under God’s bless
ing (upon which if you look to Him you
may count) your future happiness and
success will depend very much upon
yourself. Do always what is right, not
calculating what is expedient, but try and
find out what is right, and with a pure
heart and true devotion, go straightfor
ward and do it. Be always kind and con
siderate of the feelings and rights of
others, and you will be very apt to have
your feelings and rights respected.—
Watch against impatience of spirit. If
you keep your heart always under the
dominion of the grace of God’s spirit,
yon will be very apt to have your own
power of self-control complete and per
fect That is a thing to be cultivated,
and is the fruit of watchfulness and pray
erfulness. Let it be the business of your
life to strive for large attainments in that
way. It will be your greatest safety from
yourself, the world and the devil, and
will shield and tower of strength for
you.
I know not what Mr. Huger is doing,
or what the commission he now holds,
but suppose he has something in the
Quartermaster’s Department I trust it
cannot be a great while before this war
will be at an end, and we shall then find
field enough for us all to make a living
in, and that we shall in the meantime
practice such economy as shall enable us
to live through the war.
I am now looking for an attack of the
enemy on our . lines, and avail the
pause and qniet that prevails to write yon
these few lines. #
Our army is in good spirits and confi
dent, under the blessings, of God, of
success in the coming conflict. It is also
in high condition. Our trust is in God.
May tiie good Lord bless- and keep you
and yours, rily dear child, in -all your
coming experiences and trials of life, and

Th« *100,000 Loan.
R has been announced far and wide that J.
W. Duncan, of Atlanta, bad negotiated a loan
of one hundred thousand dollars, in behalf of
the Provisional Government of Georgia. This
is a canard. Mr. Duncan did not negotiate
this loan, and had no authority to negotiate it
Love is the dream of a poet’s brain, '
The secret thought of tiie human heart;
Tho one bright star we seek to gain,
The hope we have from the world apart.
Lore is older than life or time,
’Tie the first bright g^am God gave to earth,
The earliest bud that sought to twine
Its tendrils around the world’s new birth.
f ‘
Love is a charm—if once ’tis lost, *
No power may win it back again—
A gem of rarest, richest cost,
And deep within onr sonls ’tis Iain.
Love with man is a fleeting joy,
Bnt a careless play-thing of the soul;
But woman's love, tho’ timid, coy,
Last while the eternal ages roll.
Love isa rock that naught can shake,
The beacon ’mid storm that comes to view;
Nor jealous fears nor doubts may break
Its mighty link, if once ’tis true.
Love is the gift of God’s own son,
It bound his brow with a thorny crown;
’Tis the power his death had won,
To make the grave like a bed ef down.
Love is the link ’tween man and God—
The dream of nations, the hope of all;
It wins the spirit from its clod,
To obey the tones of mercy’s call.
Love’s tbe essence the seraphs fling
On the altar they worship for e’er;
The only gift that man can bring .
From this sinful world of grief and care.
Love is the thought in life and death, *
’Tis the brightest jewel of .God’s own throne;
It dwells upon the God-heads’ breath,
9As the sinner’s prayer is upward borne.
Love lights the path to Heaven’s dome,
And through God’s eternal realm it shines;
The choir of angels lisp its tone,
And tho seraphim its garland twines.
Love built the firmament above—
The earth, tbe moon, the stars and sun;
It made our God, for Ho is love,
And by its strains a Heaven is won.

notices which have ap-
in connection
The undersigned having purchased ita
good will and subscription books, propose
to revive, at an early day, the old Rich
mond Examiner, ol which the late John M.
Daniel was editor-in-chief, and the under
signed his constant associate for the entire
period of the war.
It is believed that the public will rec
ognize an appropriate and practical idea
in tliis enterprise. Efforts to revive other
papers in the South are announced, and
it is certainly neither a visionary nor un
worthy endeavor for, the literary associ
ates of a gallant spirit that now sleeps in
the grave to essay honour to his memory
and a service to the public byjreviving the
old Examiner newspaper, so long the or
nament of Southern letters, an example
once of the scholarship and chivalry of
Virginia ; and perhaps the only school in
the South of pure and classic English dis
tinct from the models and redeemed from
the innovations of Northern instructors.
The fame of the old Richmond Exam
iner reached to the most distant parts of
the world. The paper was well known in
Europe. It was pronounced by a distin
guished Northern politician “the best ex
ponent of the civilization of the South.
It ivas a school of literary scholarship
for the youth of the Soujh ; the glass of
Southern chivalry; an example -of inde
pendence, of courage, of iron spirit in
newspaper literature, which its chief il
lustrated in his own noble and severe life,
and defended more than once on the field
of honour, where the undersigned stood
with him in the vindication of the free
dom of the press.
Surely there are many people in the
South who will unite in an effort to revive
a newspaper whioh was an ornament to
its literature and a school for its virtues.
The task is an ambitious one. Bnt the
undersigned attempts it in no. mean or
flagging (spirit. He has already under
taken to marshal a corps of the old writ
ers for the Examiner; he will be able to
reproduce its typographical features, and
present to Southern readers a fac simile
of their old .acqauintance; and he fer
vently trusts and resolutely pledges every
resource of intellect and will to breathe
again in this form of material resurrec
tion the same spirit of fearless critioism,
chivalrous contest and unhesitating en
counter with abuse that animated it Of
old. .
The undersigned owns somepledges of
affection in this enterprise. His relations
with the late John M. Daniel were close,
intimate and affectionate to the day of
his death. And it will indeed be a labour
and aspiration of love if he can produce
some echo from the grave of -lamented
friendship and rekindle from the ashes of
the past and the dead some of the fire
that illuminated the familiar pages of our
literature.
In the present uncertainty of political
questions—the displacement of old issues
and the imperfect development of tiie
new—it would, of course, be impossible
to state with precision the political career
of the Examiner. But this may be
frith .safety : that it will use all ite in
fluence in restoring order, -tranquility
and prosperity to the people ; and while
iring to be brave and independent, it
J avoid every scheme of faction and
disorganization, devote itselfjo the works
of conservatism, and sustain, at every
risk, the present President of the United
States as longs as he fulfills those noble J
indications he has already given of plant
ing again the rights of constitutional
liberty in the South,
against the ^ n K
thus entitling himself to such eommpn
support of conservative men in all parts
of the country as will secure the contin
uation of his wise and patriotic adminis
tration. ffi
No pains or expense will be spared to
make the Examiner ike newspaper of the
South. For «wrj
“Fourth Year of the War,” now in i
This account will be found intensely in-
; foresting; and aside from this considera
tion, every one should secure and pre
serve these numbers, as they will be val
uable hereafter as affording a true : and
faithful report of what the South has had
hitherto but the imperfect narratives
which have been written and published
in the Northern press. ,

dents of the Ecaminer are particularly
