At a meeting of she Georgia Union Club held last evening, to nominate delegates to the State Convention, the following gentle men were unanimously nominated : Col. A. W. Srbsr. L. S. Bessett. F. Y. Clark THE AVIRZ TRIAL. Tbis trial was suspended on account ot the health of the prisoner, who was re ported dead on Friday last. It appears, how ever, that his health has improved and that the trial was to be resumed on Monday. If half that has been sworn to by the wit nesses on the part of the Government is true, WSrz is a fiend in human form. But we confess that we are unwilling to attribute to him all the barbarities charged against him. That there was great suffering in the Confederate and Federal prison camps,' and that, under the cir cumstances, the suffering was greatest in the prisons of the Confederates, cut. of! as they were by the blockade of Southern ports and the destruction of Southern depots and rail roads by formidable raids, no one familiar with the history otthe war will, deny. But humane, generous- minded men will make due allowance for the pre judices of sufferers on both sides, and will not be disposed to hold the agents of the respective belligerents respon sible for what was beyond their control.— Wlrz may be an inhuman monster, and as we have said, if half that has been testified against him is true he is so. But is it not possible that he is made responsible for cruelties which he could not have prevented ? Is not possible that prejudiced testimony is brought against him? Is it not possible that false testimony has been given? Even if the cruelties charged upon his admiuistra- tion of tlie Andersonvillo camp are true, he is certainly not alone responsible for them, (t was the duty of higher officials to have known the state of affairs at Amlersouville, and to have corrected abuses if such existed. If the prisoners held by the Confederacy could not be exchanged—if a necessity ex isted for crowding them into the Anderson ville Depot, it was the duty ofofflceis higher i« authority than Capt. Wirz to see that they were as humanely treated as the circum stances would admit. If the Confederate Gov ernment had not the means to furnish them proper food, medicines and healthful quar tera, it was the duty of higher functionaries than Capt. Wirz to adopt all possible means allowed by the rules of war to remedy the evil. The condition of affairs was known to both governments. The Agents of Exchange of both the Federal and Confederate Govern ments were fully informed of the inability of the latter to subsist and care for the Ander r onville prisoners, and the responsibility for suffering, and mortality of that dreadful the place, rests on others higher in authority than Captain Wirz In these remarks we have been prompted by the common instincts of humanity'. We ■ are no apologist for Capt. Wirz, a man whom we never saw. But it is painful to -read from day to day the record of pro ceedings against a man—penniless, friend less and manacled—arraigned under the most unfavorable circumstances for the discharge of official duties in a position envolving upon hi in. the responsibility of all the privations, sufferings, cruelty and death of a prison camp, and which resulted from the inexor able necessities of war. If Wirz is what he is represented to be he should not have been allowed to hold his infernal carnival at Camp AlKlerson. Whatever may be his fate -and we hope justice will he meted to him —there is a tribunal where the true culprits those who are truly responsible for all the barbarities aud cruelty of the Andersonville Prison Pen, will be arraigued, and where there will be no scape goats to expiate their crime against humanity. The government has decided to allow 1 twenty days’ further time for the acceptance ! of bids for the purchase of the Chattanooga rolling mill. The President and Senator Wilson Senator Wilson had an interview with Presi dent .lobuson on Friday last, and a free in terchange of opinions is reported to have en sued in relation to the policy of reconstruc tion and the cause of Mr? Wilson's supposed disaffection to the administration. The Mas sachusetts Senator remarked afterwards to a triead that however be might differ from the President on questions of expediency, yet the latter was unquestionably honest in his intentions to perpetuate the Union by con ciliating the South, and that he had his re spect for intending right, however he might acCom plishing the object.

Tfct Banin of HiUCHjr, with a sharp eye u business, regarding all Bank Notes as piper fish tor their nets, have, for some tiiu l>een greatly exercised as to how they cnld make a haul of the National Bank Nols. Their individual con sultations culminpd yesterday in a meet ing of the Clearinjflouse Association: but a short talk eonvimd the Association that they had no jurisdition in the matter, and they dropped it at |ico. Still the anxious, (not greedy) Baukfs were not satisfied, and called a meeting oflhemselves, as Bankers, at which they veotted the expression that some uniform plan j>f National Bank Note redemption ebouid |e adopted as prescribed by tlie Banking laj—not as prescribed by themselves. Avert wise conclusion, indeed. But why hold a muting to express an opln- j ion to which there |no objection ? Funny fellows, these Banttrs! .Storting has been the rule 4is week. For variety, , our sporting annallbave eclipsed everything > known heretofore, We have had a big ■ Ocean yacht racejwbich didn't have any Plum Gut in it, audresulted against the fa mous Henrietta. Ve have had horse-races innumerable, over h Hoboken, where bets j were mixed up j“mit lager" and pret j 2" ls, the fashion aid other courses—so that I mr horse-talking nen and boys, aye, and women too, have had quite a lively time of it in their own peepiiarity. We have had, also, some thirty oriorty base ball matches, by all the big and little base ball clubs in this vicinity, which have all been well at tended—sotto voce — the ladie3 have a pecu liar penchant for ball matches! Then our cricketers have been also on the go all the week, doing the agreeable to their Boston visitors, who have kept their “end up" a great deal better than they expected them selves, gaining great credit from their oppo nents as players, and winning the esteem of all by their gentlemanly conduct and the gallantry with which they have borne their defeats. Our New Yorkers have been pro fuse in their attentions to their visitors lrom the ‘ hub." One or two small rowing matches, the billiard challenges, the excursions to the fish ing banks, the chowder parties to Rockaway and Coney Island, added to iced cobblers, peach juleps, and nightly jambarecs, with an occasional shooting of a policeman, make up the week summary of “our sports.” Broaitway Banner Advertising has extreme which should receive the interfurence of the Police authorities. To say notkiug of the annoyance one suffers by being obliged *o dodge these banners, carried along, swaying to and fro by a lazy, slip-shod tellow, or required to fall in line behiud the procession they some times forth on the crowded sidewalk, and walk along at the lazy pace they go, thgre has at length ap peared nu advertisement with so disgusting a suggestion that decency is outraged. It is bad enough to meet with similar adver tisements tucked away in a corner of a news paper, but to parade them along the side walk of our most public thoroughfare, where they are thrust in the faces of our wiveß and daughters, is a reach beyond endurance, aud should be abolished. Considerable Trepidation has been caused by the public statement in a portion of the [tress concerning the risks ixm by those using the street railroad cars, from vermin infesting the cushions. That these cushions are thus infested is likely enough, from the fact that of late the cars have been used to a large extent by our soldiers, whose manner of life has necessarily been such as to subject them to the infliction of vermin. But it is by no means only the soldiers who carry these vermin into the cars. Others, for whose filthiness and carelessness there is no excuse, contribute tbeir share. Nor is this the only complaint. The cars are notorious ly overcrowded, and the atmospnere within them becomes nuhealihy. To those of delicate structure, this atmosphere is actually poison ous, and a£ ride of half a mile is certain to prostrate them. But how are these evils to be remedied ? One suggests that the cushions be dispensed with, and that cane bottom seats be substituted. This might lessen the num ber of vermin secreted in the seats, but would not banish all. There is no way that this evil can be totally abolished, so long as the cars are open to the filthy as well as the cleanly. It is also suggested that when the seats in a car are filled, no more passengers should be taken in. But the seats may be filled one moment, and the next one or more vacancies occur. So long as people will go in a car when they see the seats are all taken, why should there be any complaint against overcrowding them ? The Most Expeditions Way to arrive at the number of real siraon pure fools in this world, would be to collect the number of instances where people have pointed fire-arms at their frienda, “In fan,’’ and pulled the triggexs, either shooting them dead or severely wounding thorn. Now for a real down-right fool, give me the man, boy, girl or woman, that would do such a thing.* Yet, it is done in some part of the world every day. On Sunday afternoon last a young man, (whose name, by the way, is suppressed out of consideration of his afflict ed parents, who brought forth such an una dulterated specimen of idiocy) presented a pistol at a young lady to whom he is engaged to be married, saying, “Kate, I am going to shoot you and pulling the trigger, the piece was discharged, inflicting a slight wound in the breast. It is said he was told the pistol was not londed, as if that was an excuse for pointing it at the girl. Tbe only excuse for l the poor idiot is that he is an unmitigated | *° ol > an(l i$ the girl marries him after this spo | cimen of judgment, she will live to repent hear act. Tlie Power of Rum is universally acknowledged—else why is It called ’’strong drink’’—why do leger beer shops have emblazoned on their signs a mighty looking king, with a scepter in one hand and a glass of foaming lager in the other? It controls all the passions of human nature—it inspires love as well as hate—it quickens as well as dull, wit—it increases courage and strengthens the sinews—it pro duces imbecility and wears away the body. The stiong and weak are alike its victims—it is a master spirit controlling all alike. This was exemplified in tbe ease of Barnum’s giant, Andreas Hausen, tbe other day. This powerful man, over eight feet in. height, got on a spree, and indulged in frequent pota tions of liquors of various descriptions. Boon his huge head became unwieldy, and wagged ffotn side to 4df Still his body srqe erect, and be took mote. Sooti tbe spine began to | lose its firmness, and his movements, lrom the hips up, rest rablcd those of a huge ser pent But there was yet strength in bialega His intoxication had de/cended only some four feet, and lie kept on, seemingly deter mined to get drunk throughout his entire length. A dozen or more drinks, succeeded, when his legs began to give way—first bis hips, then his knees, and then bis ankles, when he fell to the ground like a huge log, a uerveless mass of flesh and bones. The strong mau was powerless. The Philistines were upon him. * The occurrence detailed by our corres pondent reminds us of a little affair that oc curred in the quiet village of Warren ton, Georgia, some twenty-five years ago. We were walking along the main street of the place with our young friend 8., the man wbo “skinned the cat" for the entertain ment oi his school girl friends. As we pass ed a store where the countrymen were in the habit of trading, and on the porch of which they usually deposited their guns, a youug clerk came out and picking up a rifle which had been left standing against the wall, de liberately aimed it at us and snapped it. To our surprise our usually quiet and very se date cat-skinning friend, suddenly dashed at the youngster, grasped him by the neck, pressed him against the wall, and nearly choked the eyes out of his head, before he could remonstrate. As soon as the throttled youth got breath to speak, he exclaimed— “My Lord, Joe, I didn't mean anything but fun! iwas only in fan. I knew tbe gun was’t loaded !” “Well," said our friend, “none but a d—d fool wonld do snch a thing, and I won't trust my life to a foolaud giv ing hint a kick he added, “the next time you'll know who to prank with.” Within our recollection the youug gentleman never after wards nmused himself by pointing and snap ping guns at friends “in fun.” Perhaps the lesson he received preserved a life. Pardoned.— Among those pardoned by the President on Friday last, we find the names of Jas. L Orr of South Carolina, and Henry C. Wagner of Georgia. Mr. Orr, it will be remembered, was at one time Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives. It is stated that Governor Parsons, of Ala bama, is in saver of the constitutional con vention, now in session at Montgomery, making provision for the admittance of ne gro testimony in the courts of the State. Appointment of Appraiser. —We learn from a Washington despatch in the New York Herald, that President Johnson on Fri day last appointed. Mr. Charles B. Camp field of this city to be Appraiser of Merchan dise for the Port of Savannah-. The Jewish New Year. —Thursday, Sep tember 21, the first day of Tishri, will be the commencement of 5(526, A. M., when Jews throughout the world will inaugurate the year with religious ceremonies, iu accor dance with the ritual, and in consonance with time-honored custom. Rtor Among Negroes.—A riot took place at Hampton, Va., last Monday night, among the negroes, which was quelled by a de tachment of the District of Columbia Caval ry, under Lieutenant W. H. Wonderlv. Twenty-one negroes were captured, nil armed with revolvers, cutlasses, and carbines, or shot guns. Major General Slocum, in accordance with instructions from the President, issued an order, under date of the 4th inst., revoking his previous one forbidding the enrollment of the State troops cailed for by Provisional Governor Sharkey's proclamation. The Gen eral says that at the time he issued the pro hibitory order he believed it to be in accord ance with the policy of the government. A mutiny occurred on Friday onlioard the Haytieu war steamer Ge ft raid, now lying in the East river, New York. .Several of the crew refused to do duty when ordered, and their officers were imable to reduce them to subjection. The police were called on, and soon restored order, arresting a few of the ringleaders and conveying them to the station house. Disco-vkrt of Copper Orr in Maryland. Extensive and valuable discoveries of cop per and other mineral wealth are said to have been recently made on what is known as the Eyier farm, in Haase’s district, Fred erick county, Maryland. The copper re sembles the virgin ore, of Lake Superior, and is often found remarkably rich in large blocks. Professor Henri Erni, Chief Chem ist to the Department of Agriculture at Washington, has visited the locality and ex amined the specimens, and considers them sufficiently promising to justify mining ex plorations to determine the real nature and value of the deposits. Should these prove satisfactory the location will soon command capital and the wealth of the State be great ly augmented. Sandwich Island dates of August 16 give tliiity as the total number of whaling vessels known to have been captured by tbe rebel pirate Shenandoah in the North Pacific and Arctic Oceans up to the latest dates receiv ed. No later captures, however, than those whose names we have already published are reported. Os the thirty twenty-six were burned and four bonded. Counterfeit Comi-ound Intkhest Note.— A dangerous counterfeit was received at tlie Trcasnry to-day, of a hundred dollar com pound interest note bearing date May 15, 18(15. It is much.bettev executed than any counterfeit heretofore presented, and requires some scrutiny for its detection. Both tbe face and back tire printed in paler ink than the genuine, and on careful examination the lettering on the face appears defective. Brokers, bankers and others should compare tbe offerings with the genuine before accept ing them. No other denomination than SIOO of compound interest notes has yet been counterfeited, and all tbe compound interest notes except the SIOO can therefore be taken j without special examination. One of these counterfeits was sent from New York and the other from Philadelphia. Workmen are engaged in introducing Po tomac water into'the Executive Mansion, running the water-pipes lrom the avenue tbrougn the park in front of the buildiog to the North portico, on each side of which large fire-plugs will be placed for tbe protec tion of the Mansion in case of fire. This will relieve the White House from the dan ger of destruction by fire, which, in the ab sence of proper wafer appliances has not been insignificant. The Convention. Ala meeting of citizeus «dJ legal voter of Savauaab, held on the 20th September. 1865, H“n. Thomas Purse was called toi the chair, and the Hon. Philip M Russell was requested to act as Secretary. On motion, it ii resolved that the Hon. Ed ward C. Anderson, Hon. Solomon Cohen, and Hon. Thomas E L oyd be, and they are hereby unanimously nominated as candidates for Delegates to tbe Convention to be held at Milledgeville, Georgia, in October next. Hesohe4, That the above named gentle men having consented to lie candidates, that the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Gazettes of tbis city. Thomas Purse, Chairman [Attest:] Phillip M. Russell, Secretary. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a circular letter to the customs collectors, requiring a more rigid compliance with the revenue laws on the part of the commanders ot the revenue cutters. It Is not sufficient that the officers in question should merely speak incoming vessels; but they must board and examine them, and if anything suspi cious is observed must remain on them till the point of destination is reached. They are also required, in addition to tbeir duties, to maintain a general surveillance of the coast, and the custom of using revenue cutters for pleasure parties is to be put a stop to. Immense Establishment. —Tne Gazette says that a visit to the government rolling mill, at Chattanooga, would be full of inter est to tbe visitor, desirous of noticing tbe manner in which, bent, broken, burned, and worn out railroad iron is metamorphosed into rails of the newest and best pattern. The machinery of tbis mill is superior to that contained in any other rolling mill in the Uuited States. Forty-five tons of old rails are daily re-rolled. Notwithstanding the immense amount of condemned rails that have been worked up in this mill, since last spring, six thousand- tons yet remain on hand. The Methodist Episcopal Church South. Cincinnati, Friday, Sep. 15, 1865. The Kentucky Conference of the Metho dist Episcopal Church South, iu session, ad opted, by a vote of 87 against 26. the minor ity report, which expressed willingness to receive, through the General Confeience only, any overture lookiDg toward reunion. The report directly favored reuuiou. Seventeen ot the Union men asked to be located by re signing ministerial franchise. Others re signed the seats. Brunswick Railroad. —We are glad to learn from Capt. Dure, the Superintendent of this load, that the Company are pushing ahead the work of construction, and that by the first of November next the road will be finished to Hawkinsville. Some little delay is occasioned for want of spikes, but we un derstand that they will be on hand iu a day or two. We noticed theii cars loaded with iron going out on yesterday. —Macon Messtn yer. Interesting to State Tax Collectors. The Comptroller General has issued the following circular to State Tax Collectors, who owe in arrears for Ttfixes : Comptroller General s Office,) Milledgeville, Aug. 10, 1865. j To the Tax Collector of County : Sir: —Your aecouut is still standing open and is unsettled on the books in this office. Since the arrest of Gov Brown the tieasurer and myself have not thought proper to pro ceed further iu making collections, up to this time. But since the proclamation of our provisional Governor, directing the civil offi j cers in the State lo quality and to perform certain duties, I have concluded to address you tliis circular, aud say to you, that, while you will not proceed, until further orders i'rom this office, to collect aDy more tax lrom tax payers iu this Slate, yet, as soon as you can do so after receiving this, you will send to ihe State Treasurer all the money you have collected, after detuciing the receivers and collectors commissions, and accompany the same with an affidavit, as follows : I, Tax Collector ol county for the year 1864, do solemnly swear that the money I now send to the State treasurer at Milledgeville, amounting to dollars oents, is all the money I have collected from tax payers, ot said county, atter deduct ing the commissions of tax receiver and tax collector, after also deducting dollars oents, than I have heretofore paid into die Suite treasury for the year 1864. And Ido further swear,tuat the money I now send is of the same character that I collected from tax-payers ol this county and that I have not exchanged with any one State treasury notes for Confederate treasury notes, except for the purpose of making the usual chauge with tax-payers in the pay ment of their taxes. Sworn to aud subscribed before me tbis day of The laws of this State did not and do not authorize a Tax Collector to swap off State notes for Confederate treasury notes or other notes, aud as intimations have been thrown out that some Tax Collectors may have done this, it is deemed necessary and proper for you to clear yourself from this supposition oy making this affidavit, and sending it along with the money you send to the State Treasurer. As it may be rather expensive for you to come to Milledgeville at this lime, to bring this money and affidavit, I would suggest that if a convenient opportunity for sending it does not present itself before your Dele gates come to the Convention, yon will be sure to send the same in October by one of tbe members of the Convention from your county. Very respectfully, &c., Prtkrsos Thwkatx, Comptroller General. New York Aloney Market. Saturday, Sept. 16, P. M. The money market continues comparatively easy. The supply is not large ; hut the demand froiii bro kers is so light that the rate on call loans is kept steady at five per cent.
