FKl'tU.Vi* RELATIONS. , The Governor thefa’i-dvio#*** she condi tion of tho country—the position of the Souths tho KoKh, and the Presideut, mrguHgibat the South, by its failure to sepri(#a the Union, by its prompt sub mission to the Governmental authority, and its repeal of all conflicting Consti tutions, laws, and acts, is.entitled to «P --i isuMKtion in Congress ; that the Radi cals of* the Nbrth are virtually dismem bering the Union ; that the President is doing his dutjj that the people ot the North, tbohgh united again** the South in a relentless war. site now divided on the Southern question; that our posi tion, motives, and purposes araseverely scrutinized ; that we are flagrautly mi ß represented; and, continues the Gov ernor; The pending issoe may not find a very early solution. Meantime, we pass through an ordeal thoroughly ad ipted “to try men's soul*.’’ But we must be true to ohrselves, to those, who, though not of us, are fighting our battles, ami to the country; we must steadily and calmly pnrsne the course upon which we have started, neither betrayed into by false representations of the ma lignant and consequent injurious suspi cious of the credulous; tier yielding to humiliating demands,' against which jus tice exclaims and manhood revolts. Pursuing this course, we ahull, in time, live down both detraction and delusion, and achieve a moral victory tar more. enduring and ennobling than any tri umph of mere physical force," 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 par in the present circulating medium. liouds con forming to the provisions of the Actol March 12, 1860, were prepared as follows: Uniter the ordinance of the Con vention as qualified by the act of the Legislature.. 500,01111 Under tbu Ist stcliuu of the out... l,btlU,tlUi) Under the 7ih section to provide tor the payment of the federal Under the'&th suction to fund poet due bonds aud coupons 800,000 Under the 11th section appt.q>ri ntlon act to purchase corn for the destitute 200,000 12,000,000 The assumption M the Federal tax not bavfag been permuted, and it* sue* pension having dUgrinvf wjtfr the necessity for sucharanmmtu|»gMßl*>nda designed for this purjKtstfffiotHilk eifa graved, h«*- crieculiiAatif are deposited in Treasury.

The sales not having been completed, and the bills fur material and wo*k in preparation of the bonds not having been rendered, the expense attending this? particular service cannot how be stated. The paymehref the inter**! accruing on past doe-bonds, after their maturity, 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 : Bonds issued anterior to 18*1 and not yet due $*,679,500 Mortgage Bonds issued in 1866, above mentioned „. 8,630,000 Bonds issued to tho AtlsntW and Guff Railroad in 1866., 184,500 Total... $5,840,000 Os this amount $176,500 will mature 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. f Out people «d»ould’4(ot cause of erofike. inefficiency of negro labor.

This institution has been repaired and Improved considerably, notwithstanding the very limited and inadequate appro priations made lor that purpose. Tho commission appointed to enquire Into the expediency of the removal of. the Penitentiary have pot yet reported. 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. PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS. A brief statement of the improve ments and necessities of those buildings and grounds is given.'" EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT. Two Secretaries p.re sufficient in this Department, bjt their salaries should be moderately increased. 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 heartily coflperato in proclaiming and observing a solemn Christian holo caust for suffering Georgia. The Troposed Union of the Na tional Express and the Merchants’ Express Companies. —From the publi cation of the proceedings of the meet ing of the Stockholders of tins National Express. Company, held in Richmond, on the 30th and 31st ol October last, we learn that the Merchants’ Union Ex press Company declined to make an arrangement iu regard to a consolida" tion with the former Company, or to render them any assistance. Failing in this, an effort is to bo made to reorgan ize tho National, the stockholders re commending that its operations be sus pended until such reorganization cun be effected.

Whilst some may say it, is dangerous to speak, others will declare it equally dangerous to be silent.

Ought jysd, Carf'TW sacrifice the immutable principles of truth, to the time-serving dictates of policy? I trust not; and if 'by a steady aud firm adherence to truth andrjirinciple we are sacrificed, let our last words be those of the heroic Hilde brand, “ Dilexi justiliam, el udii, iaiytti-t tatem, proyteria morlo in exilio.''

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 ions of an act passed by the Legislature, should immediately communicate with Dr. Bly, at Macon. Send your name in full and post-office address, and the agent will send you a 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 ed as rapidly as possible. Atple Pudding.—Beat two eggs well with two tablespoonslul of sugar; add butter the size of a walnut, or two ta blespoonsful of cream, and one pint of buttermilk. Add flour sufficient to make it a little thicker than for griddle cakes. 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 ing water, covering the kettle ; boil hard two hours; serve warm water with cream, or milk or sour sauce. A Cheap Tea Cake.—Take one cup of sour cream, two cups flour, one cup sugar, two eggs, one even teaspoonful soda, flavor with vanilla.
