' The discuss on >n the Legislature upon the di£-
, Dilation of giatnjbos elicited some debate, but the
i eta'istic. brought forward differ so Wtdely that
| the argument* derived from them are manifestly
: fallacious. Ode intelligent gentleman, taking the
I report 0 f the Comptroller Uener l as a baa.:-, con
tends there Is a large surplus of corn ia tbo .Slat-,
after providing for the consumption ot the popu
lation and of domestic animals. Another juntle
man, equally aa intelligent, figures out a large
deficiency.
The iiuib a, no reliable estimate can be made
ofth .imouut of grain grown ia tho State, rar
mers, with no intention to deceive, are themselves
deceived in the data which th»y lorn I eh, ami upon
•vhreb eetruatca are founded. Their calculations
1 the quantity of Uud lUAjr timmsclvea plant, are
by no means accurate—their estimates <1 the
quantity oaih3ro<i per acre are also erroneous, so
is frequently their computation ot the aggregate
. t/acnels gathered. Therefore the cal
culations of the IV npltoller Uenerul, upon which
were based the arguments in favor ol tho law “ to
i.ctm V uuntt: ,ary consumption of gram by
dulilie: which has just been enacted and which
we have published, being founded on conjee.ure,
re tun .I.able. Ii is certain that the average of
twelve and a half bushels per acre, assumed by
i be C .mp.roller, is much too large, when we take
r:tO CvlLLdaratiOU the fact that the grain crop was
:: fttilf.o i,* a large section of the State.
Geov;i das no l ., of late jiars at least, made
torn eii .uph for the consumption of her own peo
ple. hvei* io tile most abundant seasons corn
maid I . profitably imported, though a large nor
plus could then us now be hgured oat on puper.
Wo doubt .1 tho crop ol this year largely exceeds
that of former years no w thstauding the larger
breadth ol land plauted. Granting however that
l superabundant crup has been made, the demands
upon it tar exceed those ol any previous year. It
must be considered that by tho failure ol tho
ivbeat crop, uo ottnr grain is left for human food
within the means ot most of the population—by
the Uilare of the oat crop nothing *lse but corn
iv.uv.tius for the food of animals. Another great
itruft is to ba made upon tbo corn crop. The
iv nics of the Couloderacy upon the Northern
line oi our .-date are to bo fed lrom the country
in their icar, and though it may bo said that men
i:l the field at no more than at home, yet such is
th e w.irto end loss, it will be found that tho con
ssimpticn ot an army and its animals will vastly
exceed that of the same number of mouths at
home.
It scums, to us bud ecouomy to use up even a
superabundance in distillation. Corn will keep
fruun year to year, with little care, uninjured.—
The wur we are engaged in seemß likely to last
ye are, while we buve no assuranoe from Provi
dence that the next corn crop may not prove on
universal failure. It would huve been more pru
dent m t'no Government to have stored up the
surplus (if there be one) iu granaries, us is done
in of her countries where wur is expected or pros
ecui :d, rather than have destroyed that surplus
by distillation In the exceedingly praiseworthy
case which our Legislature has ol soldiers’ f»mi
liet', it i., surprising ihat it seems to have struck
uo men;her thut distillation tended to bring the
demand to the level of, or beyond the supply—
tbai a surplus beyond the consumption was a
bias's i . 1 ; to he needy, and that the distillation of
rue or two millions of bushels would enhance the
price already rapidly becoming exorbitant—that
by pm milting distillation they were encouraging
extortion in those who held corn, and encouraging
speculators who would immediately anticipate a
lice in price. If lawlessness results from the high
pric ■ of corn, this Legislature may justly bo
charg. able ith having contributed to it.
One million of gallons is tho quota of whiskey
to be furnihhed by Georgia. If the other States
especially the grain growing States, (nrnisli in
proportion, tho quantity to be furnished the Con
federate Government cannot he much less than
leu millions of gallons, flow is it possible that
this cnormom quantity c.m be consumed for bos
pii,ul uses, or even by the army using it in moder
rtumV Wc are led to suspect that the whiskey
manufacture''' will be of no benefit to ilia public,
but trill only 'iiicb a few. The provisions ot the
law seem sUiugent enough t>a to the place ot
inannluotuie and price at which it is to be sold,
but theao provisions can ba easily evaded.
Wo think tli” law a most unfortunate ru•’usure |
bui as it is law, there can now be no effectual
resistance made to it. We regret that it boa pass
od in sue?) haste, yet more do we regret that it
has passed at all We should have .been better
pleased, if tho Liapsisture bad forbidden all dis-
Dilution from grain. One hope remains, that, us
t!i.« ■ raiding of licenses is left to the Governor’s
discrcl'on, a id us he has once flopped the distil
InrieH without authority ol law, by seixiug their
at Us, he will now, since ho has the legal power to
prevent the destruction of grain by distillation,
x.:nisei, by refusing to issue licenses. As to
the contracto with the Confederate Government,
no dune.mi', is allowed tho Governor. He is
nbso nt.'ly mdcr. and to i.sue liccrses to them; but,
while the ' are taking tho bread from the months
of the people to transmute into whiskey, we
hope they will be h Id rigidly io tho requirements
of tho law.
Cheap food ia an necessary to the succesaiul pros
edition of litii wur us gun powder, and we think
it jast aa cuminal to destroy one, under the
supposition that there may possibly be more than
will be wanted, iu uselessly to destioy the other.
A Fikwdisu Outrage.—A fiendish outrage has
been committed by some brutal abolition soldiers
in Arknnu H is shocking beyond description
and tho bare mention of tho tacts will produce a
thrill of horror in every Southern breast. They
are as follows:
A low years ago a yonng lady of Columbia
T. uu., was married to a young lawyer of Helena,
Arkausas. .She was educated, talontod, and ac
complished iu a high degroe. Her husband is in
the Soaiheru army. Five abolition soldiers, in
cluding au officer, forcibly seized this lady ear
ned her to a barn, and oach,pf them committed
an outrage ou her person. Iu two or three weeks
she dad, a \ ic;im to their brutality, and the grief
.nd m. liilicaiiou produced by their treatment of
her. Her husband is said to be a Lieutenant Col
onel o! some regiment.
'ill i\ i x.ille Register, the paper from which
iho above account is taken, says ‘the informs
’.on i cues m such a shape as to leave no doubt
in regard to tut irulb thereof.” Soldiers and men
of the South ! think ol this deed es crime and ia
\. aid let it nave you to tight for the pro
l c ion of y"ii awes and children, and to drive
l ick and d .-Sirov the invaders of your country
. ad derpo’l ts ol your homes.
I mpues?m sxt of Slaves.—The notice ot Gen
Ira R. Foster is of interest to slave holders in
this section, it a to be hoped, in impressing
flaws, 'ra. the negroes who have been run 08
from the coast and brought to tho uppei country
will be first taken as they are more accustomed
to iho climate ou the coast and the w ork required.
Tlt.-ic are enough of ih. m if collected without
taking the slaves ol the up country planters. The
Savannah Republican says:
We learn that it will require some forty-six
couutn-s to supply the requisite number of hands
under use apportionment agreed on. The portion
of the State set apart for this purpose may be
generally described as loliows, and we make the
statement in order, that all may be prepared.

who helped that company to humbug and swindle

Mr. Farr, by untiring industry and care, has suc

and learned the people how to nse it so as to get a

An article appears ia the Washington National
Intelligencer evidently designed to pave the wa - ’
for -n abandonment by Lincoln of hia emancipa
tion proclamation. The’ article sets forth that the
proclamation rvts destgnel merely as a military
nii'oeure dfti,-s"l to pel down the rebellion and
lo rest ire if"* Union— f n I like a 1 mittory opera
tious it is lo b ; abar.do • I whenever it is demon-
Stra'rd that it will r.ot 1 >■« the effect produc. and.
The Intelligencer declare... that ‘‘l’ies.dent Lincoln
has not irrevocably comm tied himseif or his poli
cy ti any definite course iu the matter of slavery,
and its relations to the war.” To this the Intelli
gencer adds “that if on the first of January next,
or at any subsequent date, tbo Presideut should
be convinced that the rebellion could be more
easily and certainly subdued by remandiDg to the
condition Os slavery the class whom he had pro
posed to liberate, he is perfectly at liberty to do
so iu consistency with the rationale of his conduct,
as thus fsr disclosed by his words and developed
by his actions.” To show that Mr. Lincoln con
siders emancipation merely a) a question of mili
tary expediency, the Intelligencer quotes Lincoln's
letter to Greeley, as follows:
“What I do about slavery and tho colored race,
I do because I believe it helps to save the Union,
aud what I forbear, f forbear bccauso l do not
believe it will help to save the Union. I shall do
leas whenever 1 shall believe that what 1 am doing
hurls the cause, and I shall do more whenever 1
believe doing more will help the cause. I shall
try to correct errors when shown to be errors, and
I shall adopt nt w views as last as they snail up
pear to bs true views.”
So then, the lntcLigencor considers Mr. Lincoln
perfectly free to adhere to or recede from the
groundofhis proclamation accordingly as he
may deem expedient in a military point of view
on or before the first of January next.
Coming from the quarter it does, for the Intel
ligencer has the credit of being Lincoln’s organ
and at the time it does, these enunciations are
full of significance. They amount to a confession
ol defeat and disappointment at the expected
effect of his proclamation. Doubtless Lincoln
anticipated that consternation would have spread
throughout the Confederacy, that the rebels would
have thrown down their arms in abject submis
sion, and terror at the fate in store for them. But,
on the contrary, he fiuds bis thuuderbolt has fallen
innocuous—no men are withdrawn from the field,
his armies continue to be defeated ; and, in fine,
the proclamation baa had no more efieet than the
Pope’a bull against the comet, to use his own
jimile. Wherever the Southern people have
given themsolves the trouble to think about it,
it has only tended lo exasperate them and render
their determination the more obstiuate to get rid
of him and his government. One of its intentions,
to conoiliato the foreign abolition feeling, has
(ailed, nnd foreigners who do not understand the
domestic institutions of the South, regard it with
abhorrence as an attempt to revive the horrors of
St. Domingo.
Another cause operates to disgust Lineoln with
his own work. The recent elections have shown
that the Democratic patty of the North were not
quite ready to go to the length proposed by the
proclamation. Their stump speakers have used
it, aud with effect, as an argument before the mas
sea, that the destruction of the labor system of the
South would entail the destruction of the white
laborer of the North. Those mus3es hare declared
against a policy wh eh would bring them in con
tnct und competition with the freed contraband,
and overstock the labor market. Lincoln to free
himself from his dilemma gladly accepts the re
sult of the elections as a decree of the neople
ngaiuat a policy which had proved itself to be
worse than useless to him but which he would
have adhered to notwithstanding its wickennesa
had there been a prospect of success hereafter.—
As he took advantage ot the event of the elections
to got rid of McClellan, tohe will accept the same
event as a disapproval of his proclamation. Both
proved failures, both were or are to be repudiated,
and for this we havo no doubt he’s iu his heart
thankful to the Democrats; they have forced hi n
not uuwillingly to abandon the ground which
the radical republicans forced him in his weak
ness, to occupy.
We anticipated a complete back-down by Lin
coln from his emancipation policy, hut as his pro
clamation has done us no harm, so r e scission of
it will do us uo good. His armies will coutiuuo
to steal uegrots wherever they penetrate the
country; tti6y can do no moro should the procla
mation continue in force.
Fsdbrai. Account or tub Infamous Dbpiibda
tions in North Uauolina.—A correspondent of
the Boston Traveller, who accompanied the
Abolition forces in North Carolina during their
late movements from Newborn to the interior of
the State, relates tlie following as among the in
cidents of tho expedition. They are of the most
painful and reprehensible character, and the
actors in them deserve speedy and severe punish
ment. The letter, alter discribing a skirmish with
the enemy on the evening of Sunday, Nov. 2d,
within five miles of Williamston, and stating that
the troops bivouasked there for the night, pro
ceeds as follows:
“The next morning about half-post 7 o’clock we
again took up our winding way, reached William
ston without further resistance n little after 11..
This is a small town, having before the war from
five to seven hundred inhabitants. We found it
almost entirely doßerted; one or two white men
being all we saw in the place. Our halt here was
about three hours aud at the end of that time the
town was thoroughly pillaged. Not only wers
useful and ornamental articles taken from
houses, and horses, ha.ness, and carriages from
barnes, but stores were entered aud sacked, and,
with the ‘apple-iaek’ discovered and the whiskey
dealt out by order, not a few wore dead drunk,[and
many more partially phrenzied. When we moved
a considerable number had to be urged almost at
the point of the bayonet, whilst others were
loaded into ambulances and baggage wagons.
* * * * * * * *
“Ihe division went forward to Hamilton, a little
town of from three to four hundred souls. But
instead of marching into the town, we were en
camped in a cornfield just outside of it. The order
was that two or three men be sent out to forage
provisions for each company, and no olhere al
lowed in town. But whether by open disobedi
ence, or by the conniva&ea of those who should
have enforced tho order, the town was soon, in
camp language “cleaned out,” eveu more com
pletely than Williamstou. Not only were houses
sacked, and everything portable and desirable
carried off, but valuable turniture dashed to pieces,
beds dragged into the streets and burnt —in one
field I myself counted eight or ten—but nearly or
quite a dozen houses were needlessly, carelessly,
barbarously burut.
“It is little wonder, if such be the conduct of
our forces everywhere, that we should acquire an
unenviable reputation.”
The spirit of speculation is rife everywhere
—and iu some places where it would be least ex
pected. We are credibly informed that an indi
vidual received au amouut of work from the Gov
ernment Agency here, iu charge of Major Brid
well, end distributed it among the poor women
of his neighborhood at reduced prices, thus pock
eting the profits! It is proper to add that when
this piece of trickery was discovered, it was im
mediately stopped.
yr Our Milledgevillc correspondent, a few
days since stated that Hoa. Win. Dougherty, of
Athens, was a candidate for the office gs Senator
to the Confederate Congress. This was an error.
Mr. Dougherty was cot a candidate—neither has
he been a candidate for any office in the gift of the
Legislature for more than twenty years.
