By Hits manner of issuing the Notes,
instead o( iesuing the Slate has

the Hospital and Relief Association, in
in payments to the Public Debt, in
payments to officers and members of the
Legislature, and salaries of other civil
officers of the State, and other expendi
tures of the State. Tney were also au

Appropriation Act of 1802 Before they
were lei-uud, however, the Banks advanc
ed to the State about $2,000,000 of their
bills, i.nd received payment for the same,
from the Stats, in these Notes. There
wero also $170,000 rs those 8 per cent.
Treasury Notes issued iri January, 1860,
und r tite following circumstances: The
last Constitution of the State having pro
vided that no Legislature should increase
the jay of its own members, and the
Logie l&iure before the last having failed
to tnorease the puy of Members of the
L-g ilature above mat received in specie
payi. g times, and the Legislature ot
1804. finding the Confederate ourrenoy
muen depreciated, and ieeling that they
were not authorized to inorea6« their own
pay, and not being desirous of raising
the talar.es of the othor oivti officers ot
the h ate, tuat body, In the General Ap
propriation Aot,approved November 18th,
1864 and another Act, approved Novem
ber, 1864, authorized and required the
Slate Treat urer to pay the members and
officers of said Legislature, and also to
pay he civil officers of the State their
salaries for the poltlioal year, 1865, in
said Notes, as they were the best curren
cy tl j State could command, and up to
May last, when payments under Conted
erate rule were disooutinued, the sum of
$170,000 was required by the Treasurer
lor that purpose.
Wnat are called the 6 per cent. Treasu
ry Notes, dated February, 1863, redeema

The Stale Treasury Notes payable in
“Confederate Treasury Notes” on the 25th
Deo. 18b4 and 1865, “if presented within
three months after maturity, otherwise
not redeemable except in payment of
I’ublio Dues,” were issued to anticipate

Dec. 14th, 1863. Beth Acts authorizsd
the Treasury to pay out said Change

$465,416 15 of which have been burned
by auluoriiy of the Legislature,) leaving
outstanding $997,776 86.
I nave thus, I hope, given; your Excel
lency the information asked for. I have
been particular to refer to eaoh and every
Act by which the debt has been created
for several years past, because it will be
neoettmry for tbe Legislature to take
some action in relation to the same. Be
fore the Ordinance of Secession, the char
acter aud credit of no State in the Union
stood nigher than that of Georgia. Her
Bonds commanded perhaps a higher pre
mium than that of any othor State, and
even since the olose of the war, her Bonds
aro at a higher premium than any other
Southern State. This has been produced
by her former good faith to all of her ob
ligation!, and her promptness in meeting
them, her rapidly growing wealth, Ac.
It is true the results of hot unwise notion
of 1861 has placed it out of her power at
this tii to to pay her obligations as prompt
ly as <n the past. The abolition of slav
ery, by the General Government, has, for
the present at least, crippled her not a lit
tle—notwithstanding this, and that her
debt senna large, yet her “Publio Prop
erty” or Assets are also .arge, and her
other resources are also still great. Her
peoph iro still energetic, hopeful and
honest, and with the blessirge of an All
wiee ad Par-seeing Providence, it is to
bo hop-id that the present evil is bat a
to poiaty ono, or that, in the end, it will
prove n„ evil at all. After the State shall
have been restored to civil law and order
ag tiu, ;oing along as of old as a member
of the Union, with all its maohinery at
work r.nd its resources being developed
and ns cl, it is to be hoped that she will
soon rise and rapidly progress again as
in the past, and in tbe oourse of time be
even m ire prosperous than before. Under
these circumstances, then, it is to be
hoped, that the Legislature, in its con
sideration of this matter, will aot pru
dently and wisely, r.nd will not only not
tarnish, but will raise still higher the
good faith and good name, frame, and
credit, ot our noble old State—in the past,
the pride and boast of her sons and
daughters, and commanding the admira
tion of V who looked at her or who ever
inqair. t into her past history.
Juni.u says :
“Private wealth is Credit ; Pcblic Hon
or U iSSOUEITT. The FEATHER that
adoeks tee Royal Bird bcppobts him in
HIS FLIGHT STRIP HIM OF HIS PIFMAGB,
and you FIX HIM TO THE EARTH 1”
Thi rt, in this the darkest hour for Geor
gia ac to tier agricultural industrial la
bour, tt is to be hoped that no “serpeat”
in the -thape of “Repudiation” will be
allowe t to “oMep in” and “beguile” any
eou«td "able portion of our good old
State, id “strip her of her plumage” and
“Fix t- <t to the earth !” But, remem
ber i.g .1 at “aonwty ia the bezt policy”
let her poopic one and all spurn the syren
song i the -.i KPUBIATOE," and sustain
as me Lhvp heretofore done, the intbg
hitt s 1 honoe of he Sta.e, and the day
wi . be distant when they will see the
wi i o xch a course, and our good old
6t ue u. epidly stride on to prosperity
at i grt atness again.
As Officer ot the State, ever willing
Cos serve, in season or out o? mmod,
wherever he can benefit his native Stats,
and having been used by hie Excellenoy
Governor Brown to induce some of the
Ban kH and Capitalists and others vo take
a portion of these securities, and at a !
time, too, when they would have got 1
larger interest from other States, and in
dividuals, and who only took them in
preference to other securities, to maintain
the credit and character of„tho State—as
an Oflioir ot the State who advised Exe
outorH, Administrators, Guardians, wid
ows, to invest in Georgia Bonds and
Treasury Noteß, giving it as his opinion
that “ although the Uonfederacy might
fail, yet, that Georgia would be true to her
obligations ” —anil, as an Officer of the
State, wno, for years, in my Annual Re
ports, have attempted to oonvinue the
world that Georgia Securities of all
kinds wero better securities than those
of any Government or State, 1 desm it
my auty to Bay something more at this
time, particularly in relation to the obli
gations annumej by the Representatives
of the People of the past
four or five years.
It will be perceived by the particular
aooount of the Public Debt given in this
Report, that that portion of it created
during the late war roots upon the high
est moral as well as legal oonsideraiions.
The Banks of the Slate holding their
charters from her, and ever acknowledg
ing the obligation to answet promptly her
demands for assistance, placed at he.' dis
posal in response to tbe call of her Legis
lature and Exeoutive Millions of Dollars ,
relying upou the honor or Georgia,
(whioh has never yet been tarnished) to
redeem her solemn pledge of re-payment.
Thousands of private utttzens acted in
like manner, upon the same pledge of the
Publto laitn and credit. Most of the
funds thus obiained by the issue of
Treasury Notes or Bonds were used to
olothe and naked and starving
families of poor soldiers, sent to the field
by the autnority of the State or the co
ercive conscription of the Confederate
Government; they wero used to pruvide
for the pressing wants of soldiers them
selves, when reduced almost to nakedness
and exposed to the snows and rigors of
winter campaigns ; they were used to es
tablish and maintain Hospitals where
tbe siok and wounded veterans might be
properly cared for and saved from death.
Who can estimate the number of women
and children thus preserved from starva
tion, and hosts of gallant men whose
lives have been prolonged to bless their
families and their Buttering country ?
What have the political que lions of the
war to do with this matter ? Whether tbe
war was right or wrong, was it not at tbe
call ot the Stale and by the coercion ot
the Confederate Government that tens of
thousands of our men went to battle, per
iling health, limb and life in a cause
which they bolieved to be just, and
leaving behind them wives and children
and mothers, dependent upon the ma
ternal oare of the State T Uow oould
the State reiuse to make provision for
those men and their families ? And how
can the State now drive away from the
door of her Treasury the publio oroditors
who enabled ber to discharge so sacred a
duty ? If the Stale did her duty to the
BuiferiDg soldier in the field and his fam
ishing little ones at home, it was because
public spirited men furnished the pro
visions, clothing and money, and took in
exchange the Treasury Notes or Bonds of
the State. These ,'l'reauury Notes and
Bonds were issued with the unanimous
assent of the Representatives ot the whole
State ; there was no division, no opposition,
no objection, from any quarter whatever to
their issue, to meet tne appropriations
made, and thereby the promise to pay
them was the solemn pledge of the whole
people of the State; and oan these credit
ors now, infinite dishonor to
Georgia, be sum away loaded down with
repudiated paper !
Again. The Confederate Government
in 1861 imposed an onerous tax ou our
people, whioh they were far from boiag
then able or willing to pay, so unused
were they to such burdens—nevertheless,
they oould have been compelled to pay U
(as the citizens of Mississippi and other
States, where the State did not assume it,
had to pay it,) as there were no means,
even had there been a desire, to resist the
regular Legislation of a Government
which they were then supporting with
arms iu their hands. The State of Geor
gia, to relieve the people from immediate
pressure, assumed to pay the tax, and did
so, raising the ueoessary funds therefor
by the issue and sale of her Bonds. Here
then is an indebtedness, oreated with the
utmost deliberation, for the express pur
pose of relieving the tax payers of Geor
gia at the time, from an onerous tax —
they were relieved by the contributions of
a portion of our Banks, their fellow citi
zens, including Executors, Adminis ra
tors, and Guardians, 1 ) &ci, who advanced
their money and received the promise of
Georgia, under the Great Seal of the
State, to repay the prinoipal and interest
to tbe areditors who had trusted to the
honor of her People ! Can such creditors
be sent away from the door of the Treas
ury with Ihe derisive reply that the pei pie
of Georgia acknowledge no obligation
arising out of a “rebellious war ?” Ms
thinks the world would ory “ shame /”
The same line of argument will apply to
every class of the publio war debt.
We have suffered terribly by the calam
itous war just olosed—we have lost count
less millions of property—but, thank God,
our honor and manhood are left to us, for
a heritage to our ohildren ; and let not the
ulcer of Repudiation consume what Ihe
blood and fire of battle oould not destroy,
our integrity of consoienoe and pride of
soul!
Having said this much, I now leave the
matter for the notion of the -Legislature.
To have said less, under the oiroumsUn
ces, would not, in my opinion, have been
rendering justice to the whole people of
the State.
Besides—having been connected with
the matter as above stated, should the
Representatives of the people in the Leg
islature hereafter decline or refuse to
recognize the good faith and honor of the
Slate in this matter,and the Banks should
find that they have become totally bank
rupt, and the bill holders of said Banks
shall find that they will get little or
nothing on their Bauk bills, because of
the failure of the State of Georgia to
redeem its Treasury Notes and Bonds ;
and the charters of these Banks shall be
forfeited, and the private propeity of
•Note— By sn Act of the Representatives of the
People of Georgia in General Assembly met, ab

were “authorized to invest the fuads of thel Es
tates or War da in StockA Binds, or other fcecuri
ties, isaned by the State,” and these Bonds and
other State seouritiea tboa invested were made
“exeunt from taxation.” By the Code adopted in
186 j, the same authority ia given them to inveat in
these securities— and by Act of the L.presematives
of tbe People of Georgia, iu General Assembly met,
assented to April 18,1863. they were authorized to
invest and receive In payment Georgia Treasury
Notes for claims due—again, by an Act, assented to
Dec. 14, H 63. of the Representatives of tbe People
of Georgia, m General assembly met. Guardians,
Trustees, Executors aud Administrators were again
authorised to invest iu Georgia State Bonds that
had then been issued, or that thereafter might be
laarik
their stockholders shall be. put upon the
block and sold, and any of them render
ed penniless, beoause of the failure of the
State to 'make good its promises ; not
withßtandingpmy agency in the matter, ae
an officer and agent of the State, 1 desire
to eland blameless before them and the
world! Or should the capitalists and oth
ers find his or their hard earnings or
savings for years gone, because of my
representations to them, and of their full
faith in the promises of Georgia,or should
the widow and orphan find themselves
bereft of all they .had left, because of the
strong faith they or their friends, or their
guardians, had in the promises of the
Htaie, and they shall bejturned out upon
the oold charities of the world in a desti
tute and starving oondition, while sor
rowing for them in their affiiotons, not
withstanding my agency in tbe matter,
there will be some consolation .in feeling
that, as an officer of the State, I did all
that I could to prevent such a state of thijigs!
And finally, should Georgia’s good name
and credit and fame go down, and she
should beheld as a “REPcniAToa
should the good old State that gave me
birth, be charged with the violation of,
her most solemn promises and pledges, in
matters of dollars and cents —should she
be charged with having deliberately bor
rowed money of her Banks,of her oitizsns,
ot her widows and orphans, and of oth
ers, by issuing Bonds and Treasury
Notes with solemn premises to pay the
same, and, then without any default on
the part of those who gave her their
money and oredit, deliverately refuse to
repay the same, or any part thereof; and
that she did this, too, because there was
no power to compel her to do justice—
should tbe good old Btato that wo have
all ever been eo proud of, be charged
with thus treating her own oitizens (inclu
ding helpless women and ohildren,) or
any one else who trusted alone to her
honor; and in consequence of the same
she shalljnever have the oredit and high
oharacter she onoe possessed—l desire to
“put it on reoord” that I had “no part or
lot” in thus placing her, but that as an
officer of the State, and a true and loyal
oitizen, 1 contended, from the beginning to
the end, for the Integrity and Honor
of Georgia.
PETERSON THWEATT.
6 OXjTJ MBTJS:
FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 20, 1865.
POLITIC AL ITKHB.
Georgia. —Mr. J. C. Butler, Superin
tendent of the Southern Telegraph, in a
dffip itch dated Milledgeville, Ga., Oct.
19th, says: “I am authorized by Gov.
Johneon to state that he has authority
from Washington to announce that all
the Delegates to the Georgia Convention
will be pardoned.”
Kentucky. —The late Kentucky em
broglio had three sides: Garrett Davis
and his party asked the removal of Gen.
Palmer, the suppression of the pass sys
tem and the abolition of Martial law-
Second, Green Clay Smith wanted Palmer
removed, and a general whom he named
placed in command there, and oomplained
that the magistrates who appointed known
“rebels” as grand jury commissioners
wore permitted to do as they pleased, to
the great damage of the Union men, while
Gen. Palmer refused to exercise tbe pow
er to restrain them. Lastly, Gen. Rosseau
wanted Geh. Palmer to remain, and to do
as he had done. The result was, the dis
continuance of martial law, the withdraw
i.l of nogro troops from the State, and the
reinstatement of Gen. Palmer.
North Caroltna . —The radicals are
endeavoring to make eapitol out of the
proceedings of one or two very discreet,
i-.nd we may add, disaffeoted men in the
North Carolina State Couventiou. It is
sosoited, upon the authority ot some
Jacobin letter writer to the Cincinnati
press, that some fifteen or twenty mem
bera of the Convention held a recent cau
cus, at whioh every delegate present
pledged himself to the other to support no
man for Congress or any other publio po
sition who had not been true to the South
during the late war. The statement, we
are assured, is merely a Jacobin story.
Nothing more.
Occasional aot3 of violenoe, growing out
cf past political differences, occur in
western North Carolina; but these are
1 -f s frequent than heretofore.
Virginia. —The eleotion for Congress
men took plaoe on the 12th inst. Wm. B.
Cuotis, L. H. Chandler, B. J. Barbour,
John Minor Botts, Rob’t Ridgway, editor
of the Richmond Whig, and Prof. Lang
-1 y, of ISuory & Henry College, are sup
posed to be among the members elect.
The Constitution. —The constitution
al amendment abolishing slavery has
been ratified by twenty-four States and
rejected by three. The assent of twenty
srven States is required before ihe amend
ment can become part of our constitution.
The States ratifying it are: Illinois,
Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts,
New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Kansas, Minne
sota, East Virginia, Indiana, Nevada,
Louisiana. Missouri, Wisconsin, Vermont,
Tennessee, Arkansas, Connecticut, lows,
ami New Hampshire. The States that
rejeoted it are : Delaware, Kentucky and
New Jersey.
The Vice Presidency. —The Northern
papers are circulating a proposed amend
ment to the Constitution, which contem
plates the constant suooession of the vice
president to the presidency. A president
and vioe president are elected. At the
end of four yeare the former retiree and
the latter takes his place. Os course, at
eaoh subsequent eleotion only a vioe
president ie chosen. In this way the one
term rule is adopted. The vice president
is selected with epeoial reference to his
fitness for the first position, and for soar
year? he is being educated for the vast re
sp risibilities he is to assume.
Foreign. —The Director of the dis
count office at Paris, has been authorized
to establish a note issuing bank in Mexi
co, and will proceed to the task immedi
ately after the ratification of the treaty
relating to the constitution of the bonk by
Muimilliaa-
Counterfeits of Treasury Note Coupons
are believed to be manufactured to a
large extent. The only protection the
public have is to take none unless attach -
ed to a note.
J. A. Stewart announces himself as a
candidate for Congross from the Fifth
Congressional District of Georgia.
There is now a bill before the Tennes
eeeJLegislatnre enouoraging foreign emi
gration.
The sale of Government stock yesterday
was well attended, and thtf prices paid
