Legislation OnssM* or lb* Oonelliailoa. Buolttd, That the bitter fruit* ot legtatatlon outside of the Constitution are eeen In the prac ileal disruption of the Union, the demoralization of tbo public conscience, the stagnation ot ell legitimate buslnem. end depreciation of the pub lic credit, the enormous and Mill increasing bur den* of taxation, and the grave apprehensions ot bnsineaa men and steteamen that Mill greater calainltlea are impending over the country. The foregoing ia one of the rmolutlone adopted by the Mew Hampshire Democratic Convention. It, in n lew word*, embodies alarming truths.— That the publio conscience la demoralized, not even Thud. Stevens will preUnd to deny. In deed, even this worse than prescriptive and In tolerant radical republican, not long since de- uonneed the radical Legislature of hit own State, as a corrupt und demoralized body, wi'hout con science and without shame. And, what is siranga, no defense was set np against the charge that had the least influence upon public opinion in tho Key Stone Stale. Who does not—what community—what city, town, villago or hamlet —realize that there it “stagnation of all legiti mate business ?" We feel this truth even here io Atlanta; it is felt all over the country, North and South. It lie* as sn Incubus upon every pursuit, upon every enterprise, upon every inter est-agricultural, manufacturing, mechanical, commercial—In the land. This “stagnation,’is the dead weight ail these Interests are now car rying, and how to be relieved lrom it puzzles, while it, In many cases, absolutely deranges men Public credit too stands depreciated to a fearful extent, while the burdens of taxation have be come so heavy that they almost madden the peo ple. Well does tbs resolution embody the sen timent that it is the apprehension ol “business men and statesmen that still greater calamities are Impending over the country.” Who does not see it; who does not leel It ? And wbat is to come ol all this? This bitter lrult ot “legis lation outside of the Constitution;" this “prac tical disruption ol the Union;” this "de moralization ol the publio conscience;” this “stagnation of ail legitimate business;" tills de preciation ot tba public creditthis "Increasing burthen of heavy taxation f” Tell us who can, tor we are lost in conttmplating what we daily, nay hourly, see aud hear of the sad, the deplore ble condition of the country. Tb* Telegraph oflce In this oily On Monday night did bard work, and did it well. Evidence of this was seen in the columns of this paper yesterday morning. What with the reports the Operator* here furnished us with before the bourol twelve ot night—em bracing the Impeachment, Davit’ trial, Alabama Convention, New Orleans, and other reports— our CoJlPoiiTOR* were kept up until nearly day, and looked a little tagged yesterday moruing, as they returned their stations at their several com posing cases. They will all, however, do to do pend upon, no such word as fail being In their vocabulary. Perhaps, (we write before we go to pma,) they may have “another night of It” to night (Tuesday.) If so, all the favor they crave to, that the Operators at tbe Telegraph ofllce, will sand them copy ae early as possible, and no mutter wbat tbe quantity, It will all he right with them. Am Mirer CorrootcE—Tb* “Georgia*’ aad “Koamoky Stale Lottery.'* Our attention has bees called to the statement of tbe “Kentucky Btute Lottery," through an adtreitiiemeot In our “Special Notice” column, by its Mamaoerc, Murray, Eddy A Co., that lta drawings are “(Ae only legalized drawingi in tho United Statu."

A 8., written In June. All came together, aud afforded a treat which you may bo assured we enjoyed, though It pains us to hear such 111 tldlnga ol the present condition of the country, aud euch fore- Uodinga of its future. We feci tbe deepest In terest in our dear relations aud friend* whom we have h-fl behind, and cannot but wish they were nil here with us. Still we would not persuade them to cornu, lest they should bo dissatisfied, though for myself I do not see how a person could he dissatisfied witit such acountry as we have here. If they should be as well pleased as I nut, 1 could wish from my heart they were all here. We are surpt tacd that you received no litters la March. Yours come regularly, and we write punctually. When wo lost wrote we were moviug to our uew home, fourteen miles from where we lived tost year. (It Is the beginning «( a new year with us now, you know.) I am glad to u-ll you we have got out of the dirt sad mud (the fleas are Mill troublesome) and that we have thing* arranged a* conveniently as possible lor the prescut. I atu delighted with our uew locntiou in every respect excepting the mud.— Our floors are all clay except ono, and the red dest clay you over saw. The dirt of course i» mo*t disagreeable. I would prefer to live on poorer laud and bo clean. Our house to situated iu a largo green lawn, near the eummlt of a bill. The malu enclosure is very large and sub-divided into two large yards, two gardens and a nursery •>f fruit. The fruits consist of oranges ol aeveral varieties, peaches, lemons, guava, pomegranates, figs, bananas sod pineapples. The two latter, however, are in tbe coflee field. We have no sliado trees ezeopt the orange and tom- on. At the corner of my room there to a spruce piue tall as any in Southwest Georgia, and as tbe wind whistles through it, I am reminded ot my once dear old homo in the 8tatca. We bsvo u house of iwulvo rooms which though unsightly iu appenrsneo is convenient and comfortable for use. Ah, I hear you say, “a big house aud nothing in it." But this is not so. You would bo surprised to know bow many articles of fur niture we have manufactured out ot our old boxes, and without expense. Betide* J. N. has put up a dozen chairs, among them a nice rocker, which would astonish you for comfort. He baa surprised us all by this exhibit of genius. Our pantry and smoke-housa are convenient, and comparatively full The meat we killed has cured nicely, and also tbe sanaagee. Had not told you that we bad a cheese press. Have sue ceeded admirably in making one cheese, and have another in press. Expect to make two a week. I make a great deal more butter than we consume and tbe richest I ever saw. It It worth fifty cents per pound, and I have aotd over $90 worth. There Is, however, very little demand for it In places very near as, and it ii not conve nient to carry it to large towns at a distance.— Our kitchen Is quite commodious with n furnace sad large bako room, which I use every Satur day. Our water is vary convenient—only fifty yards off. In full view of the house it n beauti ful pond, and the ducks swimming on It at pre sent, make a charming scene. Ot tbe ducks, I expect to raise a groat many. Two of those 1 have were given me by the lady who lived here before us. Mr. M. is preparing now tor corn and cotton. Tbe boys work regularly and well. Mr. M. to much pleased with the negroes ha bought. Tbey work as well as any he owned In the States. We have one on trial (with n view of purchasing It he likes him) who baa the character of a rant- way. Yesterday ha came to Mr. M. and told him he wanted him t* sell him. Mr. M. asked him why he wanted to be sold, bnt be could not give any reason; so Mr. M. gave him a thrashing And scot him back to work. W* have alnee learned that ills dissatisfaction arose from hie failure to secure the hand of a girl we bought, tho cook being his tuccessful rival. ThU girl washes, irons, and sews well. We rise at tour o’clock, have breakfast by five, and all band* go to work—Mr. M. and tbe field hands remaining all day in the field, carrying their dinner with them. We havo every article ot food iu abundanoe, except flour. Our cows are as fine as any you ever saw; also, the bogs; chickens and eggs almost without limit; have not been able to get anv tut kevs and guineas, as they are not so plen tiful. Tbe next mouth (September) Is the season for gardening here, and 1 am anxious to try my hand. This must be tho moM delightful climate in the world. It Is now the dead of winter, and If it were not for tbe wind, you would Imagine it a May day. Tho bird* are chirping and sing log sweetly, and tbo fruit trees, especially the orange, are budding and blooming, filling the atmosphere with a most delightful fragrance. Tbe trees bear here all the time. We have or anges and lemons of all sizes the yczr round. Sinco our removal wc have mingled to some extent with the natives—our neighbors. Before we had been here a week some ot them came and spent the day. One, a very Jovial and friend ly old lady, presented mo with a pair of chick ens, two baskets of potatoes—ono of Irish, the other sweet—2 dor. eggs and a cheese. To Mr. M. she gave a large bottle ot pepper sauce. An other neighbor rent us more than a bushel ot Irish potatoes. So far we have been treated mostly kindly. Every day we get presents of tome kind. The syrup which they make, and with which they have supplied us bountifully, is very fine. Many families have been to sec us— tho ladies riding horseback, not cross-legged as has been reported, but tideways and that too most gracefully. They drete with much tasta and neatness—having tbelr riding dresses very long, and tome of them are made of eattn. Some of the ladies are pretty and Intelligent. I have visited, two families —one this week. They have a place, though only a mile from us—of beauti ful white soil. Every thing about them was nest and orderly. Oue of the daughters played on the piano, and sung veiy prettily. They gave us ns rich a dinner, and one eerved up In as much style as any I ever sat down to. At the other place we only spent the afternoon. They carried us through their coffoe field which wee very fine, and forms a most beautiful eight; also through their orchard which contain* several fralta we had never teen before. They eent me e basket full tbia morning of trait, which taatee eomtobing like the cultivated plum of the States only they are much nicer, and are ahaped Uke the pear. One of tbe neighbor* gave Hr. M. a pair ol sheep. They teem to he anxious for our friends In tho State* to come here. There is ono serious end palatal privation—the absence of church privileges. OI bow 1 long lor tbe dropplngt of tbe sanctuary—lor tboeonga of Zion—aud to sea the feet of them that bring glad tiding*.

In the opinion of the white citizen* of Laurens District litre asscntblud, the conclusion* at which that address has arrived, to wit: that “the people (white) of the South are powerle** to avert the Impending ruin," and that “the responsibility to posterity and to the world ha* pawed into other bauds,” are erroneous, and tltclr announcement impolite. Tlioxe wtio will make no farther effort, however deapermto their situation, to do something lor their rights und safety, will never bo either respected or assisted by other portions ot mankind.

Wo also appre ciate highly the sentlmeut, that “those wku will make no farthur effort, however desperate tiller situation, to do something for their rights and safety, will never be either respected or assisted by other portions of mankind."

According to Olive Logan, who has attended the sale of the Empress Eugenie’s wardrobe at the Tuileries, Mr*. Lincoln bad no royal warrant for her recent attempted sale ot her cast-off dres ses. Miss Logan says In last week’s Jlarper't Bazaar that ‘tho Empress doe* qotsell at *11; she only gicet her cast-off dresses to her servants, and there ia an end of it so far as aha is concerned.— Her servants sell them privately, admitting none but very privileged person* to tbe rale, and there is not tbe leaM publicity to the affair.

A young man by the name of Thomas Man ning, died suddenly on the levee In New Orleans a few daye ago.

A few days since n duel waa fought la the forest ot Meuben, between M.
