[From the Atlanta Intelligencer.]
Tho following bill is made tho special order
of tho House this morning. It is one which
we trust will receive the favorable considera
tion of that body, and which, wo trust, also/
will becomo a law of the State. For the want
of such an enactment, millions of foreign
capital have not only been driven from the
State, hut have found investment, especially
in South Carolina, where such a law exists,
nod it is time that Georgia should not only
recover what it has thus lost, but begin to
realize the great advantages which cannot
but accrue to her by the protection which the
proposed enactment will give to the foisign
^capital that will seek investment here for the
purpose of developing the resources of the
State, establishing cotton aud other manu
factories, and developing the mining, coal
and other interests of the Stute. Mr. Scott,
of Floyd, the mover of this important mea
sure in the House, will, we have no doubt,
succeed in impressing upon that body tho
necessity which exists for the enactment of
such a law. Foreign capital is what Georgia
needs, and it is foil}', when it asks to bo re
ceived upon the same conditions that South
Carolina receives it, for Georgia to repudiate
or to drive it away by what wo may truly
terra “a penny wise, but pound foolish no
tion."
A Bill to be entitled An Act to exempt from
taxation all capital, Lome and foreign, here
after invested in the manufacture of cotton,
wool,, and other fibrous materials: and in
the manufacture of agricultural implements,
in the manufacture of iron, and in the ma
chinery used iu the development pf the
iron and mining interests of the State ot
Georgia, for the space of five years from
and after the passage of this act.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives in General Assem
bly met, and it is hereby enacted by author
ity of the same. That all capital, home and
foreign, invested in this State within three
years from the passage of this act, in the
manufacture of cotton, wool or other fibrous
material, aud in the manufacture of irou aud
iu the machinery and implements used iu the
development of the iron and mining and coal
interests, and in the manufacture of agricul
tural implements, shall be exempt from taxa
tion for the term of five years, except such
tax as may be levied and collected for school
purposes.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That all laws
and {mrtfl of laws militating agAinst this act
be, and the same are hereby repealed.
The Unblushing Grabbers.
The Tribune cannot stand the spectacle of
Senator Yates begging the “Southern Sena
tors to overcome their delicacy und vote
themselves two years’pay for six months'
work.” The annals of Willard'AHotel, not to
speak of the Senate Chamber, bear abundant
witness to the success of Senator Yates iu
overcoming his own “delicacy,” and the
Tribune is doubtless quite right iu its expecta
tion that he will persuade the carpet-baggers
to a like victory in their own cases. “Men,"
says the 7W6une, “who can overcome their
delicacy fAr euough to present such a claim
will be enabled to make the further sacrifice
required to vote for it"
Undoubtedly. Also, the Tribune might
have said, men who can overcome their deli
cacy far enough to occupy seats in the Sen
ate which they well know that they have no
constitutional right to occupy, will be ena
bled to make out of those seats all that those
seats can be made to yield. But it is rattling
a dry pumpkin on the White Hills to scare a
grizzly bear iu the Rocky Mountains lor the
tribune to threaten these carpet-baggers as it
doos that if they perpetrate their “unblush
ing grab," it will “print in very conspicuous
type, for the comtemplation of their constituents,
the names of the men who lend themselves
to it!”
‘Constituents," quotha? The only “con
stituents" of these “unblushing grabbers”
(we thank thee, II. G., for teaching us that
word !) are a lot of ignorant field-hands, to
whom leaded brevier and solid agate are all
one, and a squad of carpet-baggers less
lucky but not less voracious than themselves,
whose only “blushing" will bo a blush of rage
at their inability to join in the “grab."—Sere

A Grand Enterprise—Proposed Union 4
the Tennessee and Alabsms Rivers.
We find the following in the Talladega
(Ala.) Reporter:
The old idea of connecting th« waters of
t^e Tennessee and Alabama rivers by a canal
has been revived. Maury, in a recent scien
tific report upon the topography of the conn
try, renews the suggestions as to the practi
cability of this grand enterprise. The Mont
gomery Mail, and other Alabama papers,
have taken np the subject -and commented
upon it* end enggest that a survey might be
made under the recent appropriation to com
plete tho survey of the Coosa, so as to test
in a satisfactory manner this interesting ques
tion.
It is, perhaps, not generally known that
Wills creek, one of the tributaries of the
Coosa river, has its source within u mile of
the Tennessee river, and that the interveu-
ing space is comparatively level. Old settlers
have all insisted that the waters of the Ten-
might be brought through to the Coosa
by way df Wills creek at comparatively small
cost What a grand idea there is in that sug
gestion. Think of boats loading away up in
Sast Tennessee, on the borders of Virginia
and Western Carolina, and coming down the
Coosa thence to the Alabama and on to Mo
bile. What a line of trade ? How much un
developed wealth would be brought to light.
How many towns would be built up, and
what teeming hives of industry would spring
into life.
The Indian Burean has official information
that the remnant of the once powerful tribe
of Stockbridge who' were the Owners
of valuable tracts of land in Massachusetts
and New York, are in a destitute condition
on their reservation in Wisconsin. The land
assigned to them is no sterile that many have
abandoned, it. and those who remain require
constant supplies of provisions toi keep their
families from starvation. - •
Tli* Chesapeake Seizure—Statement or
Lieut. Brain.
It is stated that Lieut. Brain, who was con
nected with the late Confederate army, and
has been for thirty months confined iu the
Kings county (N. Y.) penitentiary, is greatly
broken down. Inflammatory rheumatism
has swollen his feet and driven him to the
use of a crutch, and silvered his hair at the
early age of twenty-nine. The story of his
seizure of the Cromwell steamer Chesapeake
Las often been told, but never before from his
own lips. He has sent the following state
ment to the New York Tribune:
My name is John C. Brain—not Braine—
and I was a first lieutenant commanding in
the Confederate navy. My commission aud
orders were written on fly-sheet note paper,
and they were either worn out or lost. The
archives of the Confederate naval department
* * destroyed by the federal forces it is im-
»le to obtain the original papers depos-
there, bnt I have placed affidavits in the
hands of tho Attorney General of the United
States, setting out all tho tacts in the case.
These affidavits are by Stephen It. Mallory,
the Secretary of the Confederate Navy; Dr.
Joiies, auditor, and Mr. Tidball, chief clerk
of the naval department; Admiral Semmes,
Capt. Maffit and others.
in June, 1863, I received orders from the
department at Richmond to go North with
my command, consisting of 17 officers and
men, and take passage in a steamer with the
purpose of capturing it upon the high seas.
The Chesapeake sailed from New York from
Portland iu December, and 1 took passage
upon her, in obedience to the orders I had
previously received. After seizing the vessel
I was to proceed to Seal Cove, in the island
of Grand Manan, off tho coast of Maine,, for
coal, and there hand the vessel over to Capt
John Parker, my superior officer.
In making the capture I detailed Lieut
David Collius and two men to tike charge of
the engine and fire-room. The engine room
communicated with the cabin by a door on
the port side. After seeing tho men go into
the engine room I passed forward, Lieut. H.
A. Parr having charge of the deck in my al>-
sence.
While forward I heard a shot fired iu the
engine room, and at once went aft through
the cabin into the engine room, and thence
into the fire room, where I found the fireman
in irons. Returning to the deck I found no
one in the engine room, but, much to my re
gret, I saw the body of the second engineer
of the Chesapeake lying across the threshold
of the door. Going forward I found Lieut.
Cowlins, who reported to me that when he
went into the engine room the engineer wns
l»elow oiliug tho machinery, bnt after secur
ing the fireman he found that officer at his
post. He ordered the engineer to surrender
ns a prisoner of war to the Confederate States
of America, aud that officer replied by firing
a shot which maimed one of the men for life.
I had no arms except Colt’s revolvers. On
arriviug at Seal Cove, after the capture, I
found that my superior officer was not there.
I remained about three hours, and then pro
ceeded up the Bay of Fundy, meeting Capt
Parker at sea in a pilot boat, 00 miles from
St John, N. B. The captain, officers and
some of the crew of the Chesapeake were
transferred to the pilot boat and taken to St
John. Captain Parker then took command,
and changing the course of the vessel, put
into Shelburne, Nova Scotia, for the purpose
of coaling. While the vessel was iu port I
was ordered to Halifax to procure supplies,
aud I was never again ou board the Ches-
peake iu an official capacity.
The ship was recaptured in Sand Bar Har
bor, near Halifax, by the United States gun
boat Ella and Annie, Captain NichoH«, and
taken to thut city, where the original capture
was adjudged an act of war. The vessel was
handed over to the owners, Messrs. Cromwell
A Co., of New York, upon a deposit of
$70,000 being made to the British antborities,
and Mr. Seward afterward made an apology
for the recapture.
In every case I issued strict orders to my
officers and men not to fire upon any one un
less resistance was ottered. At the close of
the war I was in command of the Confederate
States schooner St. Mary’s in the West
Indies. Upon being informed of that event,
I burned the vessel, and returned to this
country in October, 1865, trusting for securi
ty to President Lincoln’s proclamation of
amnesty.
I engaged in business at Savannah, where
my family now are. On the 13th of Septem
ber, 1866, I was arrested at the Wall House,
in Williamsburgb, and, after being ironed, I
was taken to the forty-fifth precinct station-
house, where I was kept all night without
bedding of any kind, though I offered to pay
General John B. Gordon.
The editor of the Montgomery Mail, now
on a trip to the North, writes from Nashville
to his paper; as follows, concerting
gnisbed and popular son of Georgia: _.
From Atlanta to this place I -have journey
ed in company with General JohnB. Gordon.
What a splendid man he is! He bears upon
bis handsome face the mark of a bullet, the
signet-stamp of a gallantry which wins our
admiration the more we study his character
and remember his deeds. If Stonewall Jack-
son may be called the morning star of the
Confederacy, John B. Gordon niay be rightly
named the evening star. He rose in a sky of
blood audgleamed out like a beacon in the
thickeuiug gloom of night. It maybe said of
Gordon, as whs said of Washington, by the
Speaker of the Virginia House, when the
young soldier stammered and hesitated in his
reply to the thanks of the Burgesses, “Sit
down, CoL Washington; your modesrir is
equal to your merit^ We say that Gordon’^
modesty is equal to his merit. Iu a long con
versation with him, he told me many inter
esting things connected with his cam
paigns, some of which I will take the
lil>erty of giving you in another letter.
But one thing About him I will tell you
now, in order that you may put a stop to
a false rumor. It was said last week by the
National Intelligencer that General Gordon had
advocated the acceptance of negro suffrage,
and that General Lee had agreed with Messrs.
Baldwin, Stuart & Co. in the “third party
movement.” I questioned General Gordon
about these reports, and so far as himself was
concerned, he declared that the report was
not true. He sees no good to result from a
third party movement, and sees no reason
why the Democracy should be disbanded.
Indeed, he declared that it would be impos
sible to break up such a great national party,
even if it were desirable. So far as negro
suffrage is concerned, he admitted that since
such large numbers of negroes voted for him
self for Governor, his feelings of indignation
had been somewhat mitigated, but ho never
theless saw the danger and folly of the
thing, for a mere breath would have turned
against him even those who had voted
the Democratic ticket. Ho instanced the
folly of negro suffrage by alluding to the
fact that several thousand negroes were
induced to swear 1 that they intended to
vote the Radical ticket and had voted the
other by mistake. When Meade mentioned
to Gordon that he should count tho votes
against him, tho General declared that he
could get au equal number to swear that they
intended to vote the Democratic ticket. Al
though Gun. Gordon appreciates the folly
and danger of negro suffrage, he stands just
where the Democracy of Alabama stands. He
says that we should not cross a bridge before
we come to it. Let events determine the
future policy of the party, and let no oue at
tempt to divide the party by forestalling
events. Gcu. Gordon thinks that Gen. Lee
has expressed no opinion upon political mat
ters. He mentioned that he had recent let
ters from him, and does not believe that he is
taking part in any questions of the day. Gen.
Lee is writing a history of the war, and Gen.
Gordon is Vice President of the publishing
company which will issue the wosk. It will
be ready for the press during the coming
summer. This same company are now pub
lishing the “University” series of school text
books, which I heartily commend to all the
schools of Alabama. Maury’s series of school
geographies are superior to anything of the
kind ever written.

More Tain-Increasing Hie National
Indebtedness.
“Mack" writes as follows to the Cincinnati
Enquirer:
There is talk of increasing the taxes. Of
conrse they must be increased if tho “na
tional blessing”—which, by the way, is the
moat effectually disguised “blessing” 1 ever
heard of—is to be continned. The debt in
creases every month and the revenue falls off
.—so we must either havemore bonds or more
taxes. That's a beautiful condition of fi
nances for a country four yean^ifter the close
of a great war. England has reduced her
debt about fifty million dollars a year siuce
the close of tho Crimean war. The Ameri
can debt has increased ’just about that
amount since the close of the rebellion. And
the financiers of Congress still' labor under
the delusion that people will bear war taxes
in time of peace. There were English states-
• men, after the peace of Paris, who -thought
so too. But a few years of experience unde
ceived them. Lord Castlereagh began to
speak contemptously of that "ignorant *
patience of taxation” which be noticed in
lower classes, bnt he bud to change his tune
and his budget before long and look for reve
nue elsewhere than to tho “lower classes. ”
That “ignorant impatience,” which he
affected to despise, became clamorous after a
while, and hs had to bow before its dictates
Just so it will be in this country. The peo
ple are getting heartily sick and tired of taxes
and tariffs winch plunder the many to enrich
the few, which corrupt the halls of legislation
and the offices of the Government, and yield
no perceptible good to the masses, which
double prices without increasing incomes,
and make it tbs chief concern of a poor man
to find the wherewithal to pay the tax gath
erer. Unjust taxation has provoked more
than one revolution besides that of *76, and
it is an historical fact worth notice, that no
people have ever yet resisted it unsuccessfully
who have resisted it determinedly. The people
of the Northwest will, ere long, cease to be
tickled with the laughing gas of “loyalty,”
which have reconciled them to so many
wrongs in the recent past; and arousing thorn
from its pleasant sensations will realize 1 he
fact that they are bound hand and foot to the
money-power of New England. The “Lion
in Love 1 * is not a bad fable for illustrating
the case. The West is the lion. He has re
cently become desperatoly enamored of tho
Yankee damsel, who is just taking advantage
of his affectionate disposition to despoil him
of all the attributes of his majesty and
strength. ; ^ ^ ~ Mack.

Terrible Tragedy in Tennessee.
Memtuis. February 20.—A horrible trage
dy occurred on Friday night, three miles
northeast of lialeigh Springs. A party of
white men went to the house of Col. Thomas
Dickens, while he aud two men namej Wil
son and Humphrey were eating supper, and
knocked at the door, which was opened hy
Humphrey. Without saying a word the
party shot Humphrey through tho bod}', and
with knives and pistols in their hands rushed
into the room, put out the lights, and com
menced firing at Dickens aud Wilson.
Dickens received one ball iu the body, and
with Humphrey managed to crawl out of the
room. Colonel Dickens made his way to a
neighbor's house and gave the alarm. On re
turning with a party of neighbors, a colored
womau, Colonel Dickens’s servant, was found
dead near tho front door. Wilson’s body
was found in the room with eight shots
through it and badly mutilated with knives.
Humphrey was also found badly wounded.
The assassins plundered the house, taking
everything of value. They also rifled the
pockets of Wilson and the negro woman,
took two valuable horses from the stable and
escaped.

The Cotton Mania. —From all quarters we
hear the cry “cotton seed wanted.” The
present high price of cotton, we fear, is
ing to prove disastrous to cotton planters
toward the close of the year. Everywhere
fichU are being prepared forcottou, auflonce
more the Southern planter expects to grow
suddenly rich by planting a large crop of the
same article which has so often promised aud
disappointed him. Now, gentlemen, we ask
you in all candor, is it wise to allow your
selves thus to be deceived again and again
by flattering king cotton ? We do not object
to large cotton crops, but we must condemn
the practice of planting all cotton and no
provisions, as uuwise and rninons to the
whole country. What is the sense of making
a large cotton crop if yoa have to send it to
the North for com and bacon .* To produce
that com and bacon at home, as we know
you can do, will be to save transportation of
both, and to place yourself in a much better
condition for the next year’s crop. If you
have too much com sell it to your needy
neighbors at a reasonable price. If they
don’t want it, raise stock to increase your
manure heaps aud fill your meat houses.—
Look at the price of bacon.— Thomasville En
