Again wo como before you to plead the cause
of our unburied dead. As you limy know, the
Legislature of 1866 made a small appropriation,
and appointed us the trustees of the fund, to
bury the dead of Chickumuugn, and also on tho
line' of Sherman’s, and to gather togethur in u
common restingplivce those who were not un
der the protecting care of local moiuoriitlassocia
tions, For this purpose the citizens of Mariet
ta gave us a beautiful site immediately on the
railroad, into Which with Gtir limited means wc
havo removed over twelve hundred bodies.—
Hundreds still fetmiirt u turn'd for lit tlm neg
lected corners tilld rotldsldes. rtnd t he battlefields
where the.V fell, to be trampled by the bcUstW of
the fluid, or titrnmi over by the plowshare.
Another small appropriation Wits tinkle by the
Legislature—too small, however, to continue,
with any hope of success, so great an Undertak
ing.
The general government 1ms spoilt millions on
the Federal cemeteries of Marietta and Andcr-
sonville. The humblest colored soldier, who
died in the Federal service lias u Wull-guarded,
beautiful and costly rcstingplucc, marked with
slabs of purest, marble, towering monuments at
test the gratitude of their government, while
our noble heroes ure still left in silence and
neglect. HImll this disgraceful neglect contin
ue, or can wc got such aid ns will enable us with
the npcuiug spring, to place them all in conse
crated ground? May we not bog aid of every
Georgian? Can they continue deaf to the cry
of their uncoffinod dead? Will not their friends
and neighbors and comrades, in the glorious
cause for which they fell, see to it that their
bones no longer moulder uneared for, on the
hillside? We ask not for graded walks, nor
iron railings, nor marble slabs nor Heaven
pointing monuments. Wo/,note tbut Georgians
will educate, their sons to givuall this in the fu-
, but wo do ask for them note all untrodden
grave; surely that is little enough for the most
lowly—cau it be refused to those loved martyrs,
who for onr honor, our homes, our Hag; our all
that was dear to us, risked their lives, and full
where brave men love to fall—on the field of bat
tle? That our cause was lost was surely not
their fault, nor has defeat lessened our obliga
tion to them: then in the name of Immunity,
and in behalf of Georgia's honor, wo appeal to
you as Georgians, as Southern men and women
to finish this work, and to tho people, of this
community in this State to remmember these
luon died defending your right to worship God
according to the dictates of your own conscience,
and we earnestly ask every pastor to act as our
agent in his charge to receive and forward to us
lor this work.
As another means to the accomplishment ol
this object, by our earnest solicitations, a small
party of the ladies of your State, whole-souled,
conn tty-loving women, have consented, for the
benefit of this special work, to given series of
concerts in the principal cities of the State, and
thereby aid to wipe out the record of Georgia’s
ingratitude, as it now stands forth in her dishon
ored graves, and in the name of the mourning
hearts oi the laud we thunk them.

Whereas, The President of tho United Htutcs
has heretofore set forth Huverul proclamations
offering amnesty und pardon to persons who had
been or Were concerned in the lute rebellion
against the lawful authority of the Government
of the United Staten, which proclamations were
severally issued oil the 8th duv of December,
1803; ou the 20th dav of March, 18(11; on the
2!Hh duv <>f Mliy, 1805; on the 7th day of Sep
tember,* 1807; and On tile 4tl» day of July iu the
present year; and whereas, the authority of the
Federal Government, having been re-established
in nil the States and territories Within the juris
diction of tho United {States, it is believed tlmt
such Presidential reservations and exceptions
us ut the dates of said several proclamations
wore deemed nocessary und proper, may now be
wisely und justly relinquished, und that one
universal amnesty and pardon for participation
said rebellion bcl extended to all who have
borne any part therein, will tend to secure per
manent peuce, order und prosperity throughout
the land, and to renew and fully restore confi
dence und fraternal feeling among the whole
people, und their respect for and attachment to
the National Government, designed by its patri
otic founders for general good.
Now, therefore, bo it known that I, Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, by
virtue of tho power in me vested by the Consti
tution, and ill the name of the sovereign people
of thb United States, do hereby proclaim uml
declare, uncoudff ionally and without reservation,
to ull and to every person, who directly or indi
rectly participated iu the lute insurrection or re
bellion, full pardon and amnesty, tor the offence
of treason against the United States or adhesion
to their enemies during the Jute civil war, with
restoration of all rights, principles und immu
nities under the Constitution, and the laws which
have been made in pursuance thereof,
Iu testimony whereof I havo signed these pres
ents with my hand and have caused the seal of
the United States to be hereunto affixed. Done owimi a „

returned from the counties ol Berrien, Gwinnett,

April 1st, 1808, ut $0,1:18.351; a falling off ot
I ho valuation) of 1807 of $588,940. If tho other
jouiitios full off iu the sumu proportion the
whole property of the State will not bo valued
at much over $175,000,000. if this bo the caso,
assessment for the Stute purposes will huvu
to be made of 35 to 40 cents on tho value oi 100

The present condition of affairs in Georgia is
being investigated before the “Joint Commit
tee ou Itoeonstmeten,” with a purpose of adopt
ing such action by Congress as limy seem to
them neeeessary and proper to insure the faith
ful and prompt administration of the laws and
protection to the rights of all classes of persons
and property.
Certain parties from Georgia, and among
them her present Governor, with the avowed
purpose of inducing Congress to destroy the
present organized Government of that State anil
remand her people to military rule or to the dic
tatorship of a Provisional Governor, with the
iirmv and navy of the United States to enforce
his edict*, arc representing hero the imperative
necessity of a change in the Government ot
Georgia* on account of anarchy and lack of pro
tection to life, liberty ami property, and the per
secution uud cruelty which the people are ii
dieting upon the innocent negroes ol that Stut
It is important, to the character und interest
of Georgia, that the truth should be known on
these subjects, aud rs one of her Ilcpresenta-1
tives in Congress, I take the liberty to usk. you, j
as au officer of the State, to furnish me with a
brief statement of your j , ‘* rHOUU \ knowledge ot
the truth or falsehood of the representations
of affairs which are being made of affairs which
ure being made of afiairs in Georgia and your
opinions''of the effect upon the interests of
Georgia and tho United States, ol’ the adoption
of the .above measures, which are now being
urged upon Congress.
My^ijjeet in this communication is to place
your testimony before tho Reconstruction Com
mittee, which will meet here January 5, 1867,
and subsequently if neeeessary before Congress:
1st. Are all the laws of Congress faithfully and
impartially executed.
•2. Is there any organized or unorganized re
sistance to the law ?
3. Are the officers of the law faithful to their
duties?
•4. What is the disposition, feeling and treat
ment of the white people towards the blacks ?
5. What towards Republicans ?
6 What towards Northern men visitiug or de
siring to visit Georgia ?
7. Do the people desire peace and a restora
tion of their proper relation to the States and
Government of the Union?
8. Is there, iu your opinion, any necessity or
justification for the proposed destruction ot the
1 iivHufifc Government cl Georgia, and the estab
lishment of a military or provisional govern
ment?

Savannah, Deo. 30.— The Sheriff of tho county
and two assistants went to Haywood’s plantation,
on the Oguchoe river, eleven miles from the city,
on Tuesday, to arrest seventeen negroes charged
with shooting a watehmun on the plantation and
currying, away the crops of the planters, made
five arrests. At Station No. 1, ou the Atlantic
A Gulf Railroad, they were surrounded by about
one hundred armed negroes, who released the
prisoners, disarmed and robbed the the Sheriff
and party, destroyed the warrants, and threaten
ed to kiil them if they ever served a process
again in file vicinity. Tho negroes then sepa
rated into squads and marched back to the plan
tations, avowing that, they would have the heart s
blood of every white limn on the Ogeechee, say
ing the war liud commenced. One negro watch
man was supposed to be murdered, and two
white men badly hurt. All the white men had
to tioo to the city to save life.
The women and children in the hands of the
mob were carried off into the woods. ('neat ex
citement, in this community. The Sheriff's
posse numbering three or four hundred citizens
will leave tomorrow morning at day breuk to
rescue the women and children. The military
decline to interfere until Jhe civil means for pre-
ing order are exhausted.

Senator Hill of Georgia.—The Louisville
Courier-Journal's telegrams say:
“ Senator J. Hill, of Georgia having become
disgusted ut the delay attending his admission,
has gone home, declaring tlmt he will not re

a seat. •
Death of Rev. Guo. L. Barry.—The Cuth
bert Appeal records the death of Rev. George L.
Barry, which occurred in that city on Monday,
the 21st instant., after a lingering and painiul
illness, which he bore with exemplary* fortitude
and Christian resignation. Noticing the death
of this venerable and good mail the Appeal says:
We have never known a character possessed
of more honesty, originality and independence.
Masonry was the pride and delight of his exis
tence, and that ancient order has lost in him an
able elmmpion and bright and shining light.—
To every Lodge in Georgia he was known us
a popular aud accomplished lecturer, ll may be
proper here also to state, tlmt bis iamily will re
ceive the benefits of his connection with the
life insurance system of the fraternity.
Judge Barry passed away like the calm setting
of the summer's suu, without a cloud to obscure
the horizon of eternity. In his last moments lie
| made every arrangement eounooted with his
! burial, directing especially that his remains be
placed in a plain coffin, with the regalia of the
Masonic order and his office of P. D. G. M.,
laid upon the lid.

Section 1. The if
yment of
my Servant,
■ Uleyul, and
Resumption of Specie Payments
ami
From tho. bills uml talk before C<
tho clamor of Northern newspapers, it is evi
dent that the disposition is strong to press an
early return to specie payments. Tho most
mo (haute of the projects assign the ilh of July*
1872, as the date of redemption, and we would
therefore take this early occasion to impress
upon our readers the importance oi preparing
lbr that event. Let, the effort be to get out ol
debt before that, extraordinary contraction comes,
which must preeeed any sane attempt to redeem
the currency iu specie.
After a long circulation of a base and depre
ciated currency* resumption is practicable upon
no other basis than that of dollar for dollar—
The people will empty tho hanks in twenty-four
hours, and clutch the gold as if they never ex
pected to see anymore. It: will only be after
they become familiarized to the sight of it, that
they will accept and retain the more convenient
paper representative of its value.
During the progress of that bold and sagacious
measure adopted by William III. of England, to
recall percmptorially all the English coinage,
which had been universally clipped, and sub-
stitue a now coinage properly protected from
mutilation, the reader will recollect that, it was
a long time after the people had been supplied
with abundance of the new coiuage, betore they
could make up their minds to .part with it, and
thus liaVo a circulating modi urn. .
After ten years’ absence of coin iu the United
StateR, wo may look for the greatest distress from
the disposition to hoard, as well as trom the ex
treme scarcity of money. The national wastage
of the. war will then for the first time be griev-
iously felt,. Seasons of great financial distress
have invariably followod nil wars, and our time
will come with tho resumption of specie pay
ments. We havo not seen it yet, simply because
we have l»ecu running so tar on au cxehaugo of
tho evidences of tho public debt. \> lien the
time qomeH for cashing these, people will see
how poor and embarrassed the country is, and
what small oeension there is for dashing ana
splurging around in all the paraphernalia of ri
diculous fashions nnd reeklossBextravagance.
We in Georgia and the South have had a hard
lesson, aud lot us profit by it. We are just es
caping from a condition ot almost universal in
solvency and getting our heads a little above
water. Strive to pay oil’ all your obligntiiouH
before the second deluge comes. Live prudent
ly and industriously. Create no new debts, un
less in the wav of business to aid in paying on
tho old oues. Control household nnd personal
expenditure; look to solid, rational and eomtort-
ablo living and have nothing to do with the
vulgar Hash and dash of tho day. —Macon lei-
egraph.

Increase of tue PUtlic Debt.—The estimat
ed increase of the public debt during the past
month, is the mere tritle of. ten millions of dol
lars! At this rate wo will soon have a public
debt which will deservq to bo considered a
“ public blessing” of respectable proportions.—
It will have tho merit, too of not bcifig “a bless
ing iu disguise.” There is no disguise about it.
Figures are stubborn things, and tax collectors,
and levying, and selling s.herifis have the blunt-,
est way of explaining them. When they tell you
they want a sixth of everything you have got,
they arc simply blessing you, though you may
not know it; and when they sell all of your
property under a tax ji. fa., they are showering
blessings upon you though you may not see it m
that light.
And whoso very looks told a im-laueholy tale,

COMFLIMFNT TO GEORGIA MANUFACTURES.—
The Charleston News says that Senator Sprague,
of Rhode Island, ut a dinner party givou to
him the other day at the Charleston Hotel, by a
few leading citizens, said that “it Would
prise the people of the South, and still more
prise the people of the North, to know—what is
a fact—that the best cotton factory of its size
snd kind fn America is to be found in tho city of
Augusta, Georgia; and that in looking at the sub-
jeot from a manufacturer’s point of view, taking
the productions per hand and per spindle, und
comparing them with tho work in other mills
running on the same class of goods, he found
that these Southern goods wore equal to any of
their kind-ueen in the Northern markets.'
To this Clerks, Sheriffs^ and Orpinarys of
the State of Georgia. - This is to notify you
that the Western & Atlantic, Macon A Wes
tern, Atlanta and West Point, and the Georgia
Railroads, have authorized us to say to you that

General Early on Stonewall Jackson.—The
Savaunab News, of the 16th, has a long com
munication from Gen. Jubal A. Early, dated
Drmmnondville, Cauada, December 10th, in
which tho General exposes the folly and impos
sibility of the story in Putnam’s Monthly, that
General Jackson “ once recommended a night
attack to bo made by assailants stripped naked
and armed with bowie knives.” The folly and m-
deconee of sncll a suggestion preclude the possi
bility that it eould have been made by Stonewall
Jackson. But besides this, the time was in De
cember, when the assailants would have been
frozen to death, and besides at tlmt time few or
no bowie knives were to be had.
Noble Thoughts.—I never found pride in a
noblo nature, nor humanity in au unworthy
mind. Of all trees, I observe that God lias chos
en the vine, a low plant that creeps upon the
helpfull wall; of all beasts, the soft and patient
lamb; of all fowls the mild and guileless dove —
When God appeared to Moses, it was not m the
lofty cedar nor the spreading palm, but a bush
—an humble, abjoet bush. As if He would, by
by tliOKO selections, cheek tho conceited nno-
gnnee of man. Nothing prejudieeth love like
humanity, nothing hate, like pride.
Only “Three Dollars."—Tho Postmaster-
General, in his recent report, says “that three
dollars will buy the far. simile frank of any m«n-
e her of Congress, and the use of it by claim a-
gents and business mou, in cities’ in sending
books, periodicals, circulars, etc., defrauds the
Govermeut of at least $1,500,000 yearly.

was the first in this country'to give strawberries
