PROPOSED amexdesht at THE COS3TI
TUTIOJT.
The Governor recommends a respect
ful consideration <of the “ Constitutional
Amendment," briefly sketches its provi
sions, and shows its injustice to the
tioutfa. The doctrine that the Constitu-
tion does not respect sectional differen
ces and was desigued for the protection
and advancement .of personal rights, is
to a large extent, an egregious error.
“The Union was originally designed
mainly for the conduct of foreign affairs
and common defence, leaving to the
States the regulation of their domestic
concerns. The Constitution resulted
from a compromise of sectional interests,
without which, it could not have been
lormed.”
The Governor further reviews the
novelty and injustice of this act, in dis
franchising a large body of citizens,
making no provision for those who have
been pardoned, and giving to Congress
the power to enforce the provisions of
the act, ami adds :
“ With a view to the adjustment of
some points of difference, the more rapid
restoration of mail facilities, and the
procuring of Action upon the application
of our citizens for amnesty, in which
they naturally felt great anxiety, f made
a short vist to Washington, and hail
abundant reason to be gratified by the
kinduess shown to our people in word
and in act.”
FINANCES, STATE DEBT, AN'D TAXATION
The Governor next alludes to the
financial difieulties and obligations of
the State, his issuance and sale of bonds,
and continues;
Avery liberal spirit was manifested
by moneyed corporations and by indi
viduals of our own State; bat in this
time of prostration, barely enough could
be realised from these sources to defray
ordinary expenses and pressing arrear
ages. To obtain the means of pur
chasing corn for the destitute, and
making repairs upon the Western &,
Atlantic Kailroad, it was found neces
sary to resort to localities where money
was more abundant and States and in
dividuals less needy. In New York,
the great commercial emporium of the
country, the required relief was found.
Loans for four and three months were
negotiated at the rate of seven per
cent, per snuum. Only in two or three
instances (within the State), for email
amounts comparatively, when there re
mained no other resource to meet the
expenses of your last session, rapidly
drawing to a close, was more than seven
per cent, paid for these temporary loans.
Ail of the short loans thus lar nego
tiated by myself, and all negotiated by
the Provisional Governor, that have
matured, have been paid in full. The
immature loans contracted by him
amount, in the aggregate, to fifty lhrtfe
thousand three hundred and thirty
three and onc-third dollars, payable in
gold or its equivalent in currency. I
found the indications clear and cheer
ing that, notwithstanding the great dim
inution of the material wealth subject
to her taxutiou, her bitter experiences,
and her present prostration, our goo<l
old State enjoys an honorable and envi
able credit. 1 entertain not a shadow
of doubt that, iI peimittcd to enter the
money market upon her own merits
the ban of the Federal Government,
which beclouds her future, removed
her security would comnmud'niorc than

The paymehref the inter**! accruing

is recommended aa more consistent with
the honor and dignity of the Slate.
Bonds to the amount ot $134,500
have been executed and delivered to the
Atlantic and Gulf RailroecT Company,
id accordance with the provisions of the
Legislature.
“When all of the bonds authorized by
the act of the General Assembly, ap
proved 12th March, 180$ (except those;
intended for the assumption of the Fed
eral tax), shall have been disposed of as
contemplated, the funded debt of the
State will stand thus :

in 1868; $334,500 in 1869 ; $164,500 iii
1870, making a-total of $675,506. The
latter sum, therefore, must be provided
for within four years from this time. I
recommend that the bonds before men
tioned, prepared to meet the Federal
tax, but aa yet unexcuted, be placed at
the disposal of the Governor, with
authority to use them as occasion may
be presented) by sale "or exchange, if
deemed advisable, in redemption of the
bonds to mature in and before the year
1870. The public debt will not thus be
increased in amount, ami may be some
what diminished.
“Bond* amounting to ; $154,000 will
mnttfre in 1871; and others, amounting
to $721,500, in 1872, the aggregate
being $876,000 to be provided for in six
years. .
“To meet this and subsemiently accra
ing liabilities, I recommend that the sum
of one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars be annually set apart as a sinking
fund accumulative.”
The State tax, ad valorem, is very
light, being only oue tenth of one per
cent.
The Governor then gives his reasons
for suspending the liquor tax for the first
quarter, and adds:
“The people of Georgia have always
been lightly taxed, and I see no indica
ti ns that the State Government will be
c nstrained to make this burthen oner
ous in the future.”
EDUCATION.
The Governor dwells eloquently on
the subject of education generally, and
alludes to the University of Georgia,
particularly, as a useful and flourishing
institution. He recommends that an
Agricultural Department be organized
in the Uuiveisity, and the lauds doualud
by the United States Government for
agricultural colleges be devoted exclu
sively to tho endowment of this de
partment.
Particular attention is also called to
the subject of common schools, and the
Legislature urged to make such provis
ion as possible in regard to it.
TIIE WESTERN A ATLANTIC RAILROAD.
The Governor gives some insight intoi
the workings and operations of this
Road. The estimate for repairing the
Road, that is the cost to the State, as
made to the last Legislature, was from
$500,0(10 to $700,000; but the aid ex
tended has exceeded but little over
$300,000. The additional ai 1 requ'red
will -be aboat $250,000. There is a 1
heavy debt due the United States Gov
ernment hanging over this Road for
stock and supplies, but as there is an
offset against it, it .is hoped that an
amicable and favorable settlement can
be effected. At all events the faith of
the State must be kejtt.
Suggestions are made with reference
to the settlement oi this claim, the in
crease of salaries of the officers of the
Road, and the redemption of the Rail
road change bills at some set value.
THE LUNATIC ASYLUM.
The Governor recommends the en
largement of this institution for the
accommodation ot colored patients. He
adds:
The information brought to me, in
duces the belie! that this fearful malady
is on the increase among that people.
Heretofore uccutdomed to be cared for,
themselves uncaring, they have been
free fiom very many anxieties and re
sponsibilities, which often harrass and
craze those in higher social position.
Now, suddenly utter many years of
irresponsible, uusolicitou3 life, they find
themselves invested with the: boon of
freedom coupled with the burthen's Os
self-preservation and family provision,
whilst their evil propensities, previously
kept in check by wholesome home go**
eminent, are left unbridled. Among
them insanity most assuredly will in
crease. Heretofore when it has oc
curred, home provision has been made
lor it, but home, such as they once en
joyed, remiiins to them no longer. Will
the State abandon them to all the mise
ries, sufferings, and perils that wait
upon insanity ?- Humanity to them and
safe tv to tlie public alike forbid it,
Hither in lliuStutc Asylum or in county
poor houses, immediate and sufficient
provision should be made lor the ease,
four attention is earnestly requested to
il.
THE ACADEMY FOB THE BLIND, AND THE
academy for the deaf and bomb.
The former of these institutions is in
successful operation ; but the Governor
has not ordered the latter to be re
opened yet, though lie hopes that
through the efforts of the Legislature,
he wilt be enabled to do to at the com
mencement of wtotlngfear.

THE CHAIN BANG.
The operations of the Ect bf the Leg
islature establishing a chain gang are
attended with considerable difficulty.
It is made the duty of the Governor to
jsend»for parties sentenced to this pun
ishment by the Courts, when the County
Superior Courts refuse to empjoy them,
aud to put them at some important pub
lic work. The Inferior Courts very gen
erally refuse to employ them, and to
send for them trom various points is at
;tended with considerable expense and
’trouble- The Governor has therefore,
connected this business with that of the
Penitentiary, when it is cheaper and
safer to confiue (hem, al night, putting
them on some useful work dpr.ing the
day. He recommends then it be made
the duty of the Inferior Courts to employ
them on the public roads, or in making
bricks for the erection of Court Houses
and jails, or in building bridges.
MAIMED SOLDIERS.
Less than 100 applications of artifi
cial limbs had been made by the first of
September last, of which one fourth
were informal, and only about oue-balf
the counties heard from.
The proposal of Dr. Bly to furnish
the Hiubs being thc'ijoost favorable, the
contract was awarded to him.
COnN APPXOWIIATION.
Col. Maddox was sent to St. Louis to
purcbasO corn for the poor of this State.
By the liberality of the railroads,
$35,000 more than would otherwise been
the case, were enabled to bo applied to
this’purchase. The Georgia Railroads
transported it to the several eounties
fi-oe of charge. * Col. Thwcat has been
appointed to receive it at Chattanooga
amiydi.stribute it thence to the several
couuties. Some 185,000 bushels, in
round numbers, have been distributed,
being 4} bushels to each beneficiary
reputed at a cost (all expenses inclu
ded) of a little less than one dollar per
bushel. When all expenses are paid,
about $15,000 ot this appropriation will
remaiu in the Treasury.

CONCLUSION.
The Governor concludes this plain,
but well written, State paper as follows:
Whilst our political relations are so
unsettled, and so few gleams of hope
coma to us from the future, there are a
lew things especially incumbent upon us.
Ist. It becomes us to- cultivate among
ourselves unity of feeling, of opinion,
and of action ; unity among the people,
unity aiuoug the Departments of Gov
eminent.
2d. Our interest lies in eschewing po
litical excitement, studiously avoiding
all conflict with authority uneliosen by
us, but placed over us, and employing;
our active energies in rebuilding our
own wpstc places !<>d developing our
neglected resources. Whilst otiiers rage
and wrangle over, epheiner .1 issues, let;
us be busv with the real, abiding..con
cerns of fife. Thus shall \ve e merge i
from the pi riod of ostracism wiser,
more thriving, and more respected than
ever.
3d. It behooves us, above all, to keep
ourselves in ' proper relation with the
Supreme Ruler ot the Universe. To
this end, it is light and proper that, on
a day to be appointed, our whole people
should simultaneously prostrate them
selves before the Throne of Grace,
rendering thanks for blessings enjoyed,
imploring forgiveness lor errors com
mitted, mid seeking light to giiide us ou
our rugged, darkened way. I have re
frained from inviting such a proceeding,
believing that, in our extremity, it is
more lilting that the movement be made
by the iinmediatij representatives of the
people. I will cheerfully do your bid-'

and observing a solemn Christian holo
caust for suffering Georgia.

• THE STATE PRISONER.
JEFFERSON DAVIS AND TIIE FEDERAL SPIES,
WEBSTER AND DONNELLY.
From a caffimunioation of the Rev.
John D. Kelley, published in the Peters
burg Index, .of Saturday, we make the
following extracts. Webster, a native
of Keptucky, was hung at Camp Lee in
1862, and it has never been denied that
he was a spy in the pay of the authori
ties at Washington. His ostensible
business in Richmond was blockade
running and carrying letters to and fro
across the lines. It was his practice to
submit all letters entrusted to him to
the Federal authorities. Mr. Kelley says
of him:
The firsf time I saw him was on the
occasion of my visit to Parke. He was
heavily ironed, looked greatly distressed
and anxious, and at first seemed unwil
ling to give me his confidence. . I
thought his hesitancy may have been
caused by tho sentinel in his cell, who
was pacing the floor with his gun ot
fixed bayonet on bis shoulder. I got
this sentinel removed for a while, and,
after a little talk, Webster told me the
most favorable side of his case, men
tioned many things which it might be
unjust to the living to reveal at present;
and, upon the whole, made a rather
favorable impression on my min(l. It
ought to be mentioned here, that a long
continued course of visits'tion of prisons
had developed a kind of power—half
feeling, half-thought, by which the
shadings of truth and falsehood, in their
statements, were received.
I was convinced from some evidence
afforded me by Webster, that there
were tuany mitigating circumstances in
his case. That conviction was imparted
to and in a measure partaken of by the
authorities. The execution was put
off. 1. obtained passports to go through
our lines to Stratford and Loudon coun
ties to collect the evidence necessary to
verify Webster’s statements. Unfortu
nately, I could not get through the Fed
eral lines ; but the poor fellow was re
prieved from time to time, and it was
only when I had to give up all hope of
getting to his home, that he was exe
cuted. Our people wondered why this
execution was put off from time to
•time. Here is the secret. This was one of
the few occasions iu my life in which it
seemed to me desirable to belong to
the muddle-headed class, the money
lovers and the money havers.
It 1 had had money, then I could
have managed to have gotten through
the lines, and might have been the
instrument of saving this man’s life.
The authorities gave me every opportu.
nity ; noue more so than our beloved
President. 1 have no doubt now—l
had none then —that Webster was, in a
good measure, guilty as charged; but
the shocking stermiess and ramroduess
which characterizes court limnials, ex
cluded, iu effect, every modifying pecu
liarity that lessened the onus of crime.
I had a voluminous lot of papers about
Webster, which it was my purpose to
place in the hands of his friends at the
close of tho war ; but, alas 1 the Van
dals tore them up and scattered them
along with my other things, on thnt 3d
of April, 18(14. Yet I do not greatly
blame these Wicked, because foolish,
men. Their trade was destruction.
Their business was ruin.
Os Donnelly, Mr. Kelley says:
This young man, a native of New
York, but recently of New Orleans, was
sentenced to be shot as a Federal spy.
In my visits to tho jail, he crouched off
in u corner and seemed desirousof elud
ing me, but at lust I got him to tell me
the particulars of his case, which were
so favorable, that if properly substantiat
ed. 1 felt certain he would be pardoned.
I got a good-hearted man, Mr. Heath,
who nf)w keeps a grocery store up Hali
fax street, to go to a station on the Nor.
folk railroad aud get me the affidavit of
* magistrate and biwwife in the iqu»e
diate vicinity of tbeffcleral lines, touch
ing the (Material points in this cute, and
had them laid, with personal expla na- I
tion,-wore General tWper, who prim*,
ised me that the case would be attend
ed to.- -
Iliad previously tried all efforts with
the authorities her* in vaju. Oi/a Sun
day morning on visiting the jail, I learn
ed with dismay, that &u officecJiad been
there a few minutes before, and had
read the death warrant of tie prisoqgr •
who was to be *hot next morning at the
Fair Grounds. Before going to the
churoh, I sent this dispntph to,Aha Prcj 6
ident: “A man is going to be Shot here
to-morrow, as a spj, who is innocent—
please forbid U!^ ■ SC D." Kelley.
I received a message shortly after
saying that
“J. D. Kelly shall not be Shot W
, morrow nor any other day, by order of
Jeff. Davis. I
On applying at the office of the Oom
mai)d)ng General here,} I /-learned that
they had received a dispatch "forbidding
the contemplated execution, In ipy
anxiety aud haste I had forgotteu tej,
mention the prisoner’s name, hence tfee
tenor of this dispatch. The affidavits
were recovered and laid before the
President, aud in due time the prisoner
was discharged. His aged and venera
ble mother sent me afterwards letters "of
thanks, and promised that she would
pray for me as long, as she lived. Pre
cious beyond diamonds' to me are these
letters and prayers. y ;
The success attending these various
efforts, and a great many others of a
like kind, led me to believe that the
President of the United States would
give a favorable hearing to the case of
one who, when in supreme power, was
himself so accessible to appeals of this
sort —one, who unlike these partially
guilty parties, was the idol of ns all for
his stainless purity of character, and his
massive strength of intellect. I . was
not so successful as I had hoped to be,
on account of the unsettled state of the
country.
But I do not, by any means, despair.
The success of our Northern brethren in
their elections may soften their hearts
and make them more willing to be mer
ciful. There is so much'of Intrinsic de
ception iu this mere nimby# of political
parties, for the sake of affecting the
votes of the unintelligeht and impulsive,
that I have.no doubt the medium por
tion of all parties in this Christian land
mean well, and will try to do What is
right.
To Wounded Ex-Confederatks.—
All who want arms or legs, and who de
sign applying for them under the provis

blank and measure. Yon will fill out
the blank and return it to the agent.
Then, as your turn comes, you will be
notified and can go at once and be fitted.
By preserving these instructions, care,
full)/ you will save expense. The limbs
are resdy for fitting, and, iu the manner
set forth above, and they will be furnish

Take one small leaspoonful of saleratus,
dissolve it in a little warm water, and
put in with about 4 large apples sliced,
(sour apple) ; stir it together well, turn
it into a pudding pail, (or some pail
with a cover.) and set in a kettle of boil

Unit to time, unsolicited.
, From Editors.
The New York Examiner, says:
Every mother and housekeeper mnitoftoa
act as a fapiily physician in the many ill
nesses and accidents that occur among chil
dren and servants. For many of these cam,
I have used Davie’ Pain Killer, ind coniifa
it an indispensable article in the mediciM
box. In diarrhoea, it has been used and
effected cures. For cuts and bruises, it is
invaluable.
The Editor of the Christian Advocate.
pay*. ' 1 ,l -' 1 ""-"-S’"- ■ ■— —~
It is a real pleasure to us to speak (avoinllj
of this article, known almost universally w
be a good and safe remedy for burns ud
other pains of the body. It is valuablenot
only for colds in the winter, bnt for virions
summer complaints, and should be in tan
family.
A. D. Miller, Editor of Jfestevaer, Glees
Falls, N. Y., says :
There is no medicine at the present day I
value so highly as Perry Davis’ Vegetable
Pain Killer. I have used it in my family
for years; in every instance it has provedi
sovereign remedy. I tested its qualities
to-day on a severe burn, and found it all
that Ovoid be desired.
Mr. John Jackson, of the Calais Adver
tiser, writes:
I know it to be all it is recommended,
having used it in my family six or seven
years.
The Salem Observer ssys;
No article of medicine ever attained to
such unbounded popularity and extensivo
diffusion. It has_peDetrated to every part,
even the moat remote, of the known world,
Bearing with it its healing influences more
potent than those of the spices of “Araby
the blessed.” . We are informed by oar
principal druggists, that they sell moreof
this article fur exportation than of snyor
ail others, and that the demand is constanty
increasing.
The Cincinnati Nonpareil, Nov. 14,1845;
says:
Some of our most prominent eitiaens and
business men strongly recommend it to tba
public as an article of great merit and virtse,
and that they never knew any medicine to
become so deservedly popular in so shorts
time.
From Clergymen.
Rev. J. C. Boomer says:
I have used Perry Davis’ Pain Kiilerwitk
great success in cases of cholera infinite),
common bowel complaint, bronchitis,
coughs, colds, etc., and would cheerfully
recommend it as a valuable family medicine.
Rev. J. G. Steams, says:
I consider it the best remedy I eTerknew
for dyspepsia.
Rev. Edward X. Fuller says:
I have witnessed the beneficial effects of
your Pain Killer in cases of dysentery and
cholera morbus, within a few months past,
and would cbeertully recommend its use in
such as may be suffering from similar dis
eases, as a case and effectual remedy.
Rev. A. Webster, Editor of the Chntlim
Eia. writes:
I have nsed yonr Pain Killer for mnnj
years in my family with much satisfaction.
