The U.tll-Y PKBSS I* al«n Ihr Ofllrinl Paper ol Ihe City of Aiifatlii bavin* been elected by ■be City Council aa their Official Orfßß* The Southern Relief Meeting in New York City. That our readers may know what was done at the great meeting in New York City, lor the relief of the poor in the South, wo give the following description of it from the New York Sun, of Jan. 26th. It will be found of sufficient in terest to warrant a perusal: A meeting was held last evening at the Cooper Institute, in response to a call made by a number of influential gentlemen, to inaugurate measures for the relief of the people of the South suffering from the want of the necessa ries of life, in consequence of the almost total failure of the late crops and the devastations of war. There were about two thousand persons present, a large number of whom were ladies. Among the gentlemen on the platform were Major General Anderson. Henry Ward Beecher, Mopes Grinuell, Horace dree ley, Edward Bright, Dr. Dowling, and numerous others. The meeting was opened by Mr. R. H. McCurdy, who announced that the Hon. Peter Cooper had been appointed to preside over the meeting. Mr. Cooper then oamr forward, amid loud cheers, and said : SPF.KCH OF PETER COOPER. You will please, gentlemen and la dies, to accept my thanks for the honor of being called to preside on this occa sion. We have met, gentlemen and la dies, to inaugurate measures that will, I hope, save thousands throughout our Southern country from starvation and death. Many of those who are now suffering for bread, but two short years ago were in arms, striving with all their might, to work out the destruction of our National Union. Thank God, and the noble band of patriots who braved death in all its forms, to save our Glo rious union of States from being broken and destroyed—a Union that is now able and willing to lake into its shelter ing arms every inhabitant of our com mon country. Our people from the North, and from the East , and from the West, are determined —to show to our Southern neighbors—that we are not now and never were their enemies. And now—notwithstanding all the wretchedness and the ruin that their terrible heresy of secession has brought on oar country, where thousands have been lopped away with half their limbs, and are now- begging bitter bread through realms, their valor saved our c«>u ntry. Notwithstanding all that has passed, we are still resolved to do tl e n all the good we can. And, alter having given bread to the hungry, aud clothing to the naked, we are sure that there is nothing that we can do besides, that is so im portant for those people and States, iatelv in rebellion, as for us toinsist on the adoption of every proper form of guaran tee that will secure our country and people from the recurrence of such scenes o( death and desolation as those that we are here this night to deplore. We hope that the day will soon come when the people of the Southern States will unite with us and ask for measures that will establish justice as the only possible way to promote the general welfare, and effectually secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. I shall now have the pleasure to introduce to you gentlemen who will more fully in form you of those scenes of suffering that claim from us our sympathy and help. A list of Vice Presidents and Secre taries of the meeting were then read and approved, and the Chairman then an nounced that Mr. Edward Bright would address the meeting. SPEECH OF MR. BRIGHT. Mr.. Bright said he had no especial facilities lor obtaining minute informa tion in regard to the condition of the South, except such as had grown out of his relation's with a weekly newspaper. He bad had three communications Irom gentlemen irom different parts of the South, which had produced such an impression upon him that he resolved to make the facts known to his friends, and see if some means of relief could not be instituted. The relief movement originated some ten days ago by the incidental meeting of two gentlemen at a dinner table, when the conversation turned on the destitution in the South, and what could be done for its relief. It was agreed to try and do something, and they iuviled u number of gentlemen to meet at tbe Fifth Avenue llulel, when a discussion was had, which ended in the meeting being called. Mr. Bright then spoke at considerable length on the failure of the crops South, through flood and drought, and said that from one half to nine tenths of the grniu crop throughout the States had failed. In Mississippi, there was not one fifth of the average grain c-rop. It was the same in Georgia, and Governor Patton, of Alabama, says that the scarcity of food is such in that Stale that the people would most gladly re ceive and acknowledge any assistance proffered by the Northern States, 'i he Speaker concluded liis address by up pealing for aid, and said that lie be lieved it would do more to cement the North and South together in the com mon bond of unity and love than all the legislation could possibly do. Mr. Bright then retired amid cheers. THE RESOLUTION'S. A scries of resolutions were read, lo the effect that the intelligence of holler ing in the South which reaches us here appeals with irresistible force to North ern men to come forward to their relief; that a Southern Belief Commission he appointed, consisting of thirty mgn, with power to udd to their number, and to elect their officers, together with an Executive Committee; and that it be the duty ot this Cumtuissiou lo do ull that they shell believe to be necessary in raising contributions and in distribut ing supplies among the destitute with out respect of race or opinion f inviting the coOperstion of the ladies of the North, and likewise inviting other cities to share in the *aod work. The reso lutions ware adopted amid cheers. The Ohuirmnn then amteanced the next speaker to be the Rev. Henry Wnrd Beecher, which announcement was re reived aith tremendous cheering. Mr. Beecher advsuoed to the front of the platform and said ; SRGKrII or HENRI WARP BEECHER. Mr, Chairman, Laities, and Gentle men: I have during my Hhs snd within the last nineteen years, been present on many occasions where the citizens of New York were convened to take into consideration the state of the country, and especially Be affecting the relations between the North and the South. The earliest I remember was at Castle Gar den. where the Union Saving Committee appointed a meeting nt which I was not present, as the objects of the meeting were not peculiarly in nccotdance with my views. It was alter the passage of the famous fugitive slave laws, which was supposed to be a medicine for all our ills. That puh'ie meeting, I may say, represented one extreme. It was at the lime when the spirit of liberty was almost extinct, and the spirit of evil domination culminated. That great wheel which God turns Ims made a complete revolution, aud to night we see a meeting convened for the purpose —not only in regard to the nature of the meeting—of representing the su premacy of the conscience of the nation ibr liberty, after the destruction of slavery in alt its forms. So great have been the changes, that many scarcely kuow themselves, and can hardly maintain their identify if they refer back sixteen or seventeen years. But the change which has tnken plaee in individuals is certainly not greater in its kind than that which has taken place in the whole community. Old precedents are gone, and its no use raking them up. Ideas are changed jnst as blossoms change to germs, germs to green fruit, and green fruit changes to ripe. The country has changed its views—not one man, but millions of men. Not only that the change is one had by reason, and by it came that change in put lie sentiment by which this nation agreed to its own principles, and was willing to stand before God, a nation of freemen who had sworn fealty to themselves and to the natural rights of man, without any distinction. Then that sentiment, God, like a smith, thrust into the fire of war, and brought it out hard as steel, and, with nu edge that cannot be turned. "(Cheers.), It is impossible that such a war as this shall take place on suefy a scale—it is impos sible that a war that runs through more than four years, even in a nation of such abundance as this, should not go t.u when it had stopped—(laughter)—its sequences are still on the land. Those battles that were fought years ago are still working out their moral results, and the physical distress which war brings in its turn have not spent themselves out yet. I hold as firmly as I have any «on viction in my soul, that this whole na tion was guilty of a sin, than which none can be more atrocious, considering our history and principles—the sin of slavery. The South was guilty as the holder and the North as the abettor. 1 remember a time when I came on the stage here when the moral influence of the North was with the South, refusing to go against slavery. The politics of the country and the commercial re sources of the country were in favor of slavery. They did not bold the slaves, but the public sentiment of the North sustained the practice. They did not draw the note but they endorsed it, and when the war came, it was a punishment that God sent, I believe, for the sins of the slaveholders. Now ihey have been punished, and we have been punished. The reverend gentleman spoke at con siderable length on this point, stating that our sins were equal, and that we were receiving punishment from God, and stated that there was a great work to be done—a legislative work—“but,” said he, “while we believe that you and I agree that that alone cannot settle our difficulties—when you have made points of legislation, when you have fixed cer tain great policies, then comes the moral and social reconstruction. A nation like this can never be recdnstructed by edict—sympathy again, the interplay of interests, mutual respect, at last ripen ing into long, long intimacy, mutual love—this is reconstruction, when the old enthusiasm comes back, and we meet agaiu under the old flag. (Great cheering.) This appears to me to he a touching case of poverty, put to us to test whether we do love our enemies.— Mr. Beecher said that it was not strange that people should dislike their enemies —it was human nature; but if u Chris tian disliked a person or persons, it was no reason why lie should not relieve their pressing wants. We should pray for them, not hate them, and we are to heap thus living coals upon their heads. I)o you remem ber that parable where a certain man went to Jericho and fell among thieves, and how a priest that came that way and didn’t think it necessary to go and Bee what the matter was. and passed by on the other side of the way ? The cause was evident—that man was not a priest, and he only took care of his own sect. Then came a Levite, and when he came where the poor man was, he was more merciful than the priest; he did look on him and pussed—he was not a Levite. Then came a Samaritan, who did not belong to the aristocracy, being only a poor Democrat [laughter], and had no other connection with men except that they were his brethren. He came and poured oil into the wounds of the poor man. The Samaritan did not ask his sect, but treated him as a fellow-citizen and a brother. God says to us to-night, “Who is your brother ?’’ Is it not the man that is in need, if he is in the South ? You whould have no doubt if it was a man who had never injured you or yours. There are those suffering and in need in the South. God says go where they are and pour oil into their wounds—take them up and care tor them. “I believe in revenge,” said the speaker. ‘‘Many men will suffer wrong and not show any spirit. It is natural if a man wrongs you to give him as good as lie sends. 1 believe in that, I preach it, nml try to practice it, and fry to make him just as uncomfortable us you can ; but you are not at liberty to choose your method. II lie hate you give it hack to him in love. If he persecute you, sec what you can do in spite of him to improve lii.s circumstances. If lie damns you, pray for him. Mr. Beecher continued at great length to instil into his hearers the principle of brotherly love, and that it was the duty of the North to render assistance to our brothers in the South. He concluded by predicting that the time would come when we should all he united, when New York and Alabama will know no differences between each other; the day will come when.there will bo uo war iu the States, hut llio I nation will be one, end their sympathy and kindness will help to bring on that glorious day. Mr. Beecher was very freqnautly interrupted with applause, ana resumed his seat amid great cheer injf. The following gentlemen were then announced as the •ournEa* relief commission. Wm A Booth, Wm M Vermilye, Nathan Bishop, GeoC Ward, W E Dodge, Jr, David Crawford, J T Johnson, L W Jerome, • .1 M Brown, Fred L Olmstead, E C Cowden, • R M McCurdy, S D Babcock, W C Coleman, David Hondlcy, Edward Bright, Tlieo Roosevelt, R I. Kennedy, Howard Potter, Cornelius Agnew, B F Butler, Fred E Foster, Archibald Russell, J M Bruce, Jr, J P Morgan, W m Osborne, Seth B Hunt, S Humphreys, R B Mintnrn, Robert Potter. The Chairman then introduced the Hon. Horace Greeley, who was cheered lustily as be advanced to the front of the platform. REMARKS OF HORACE GREELEY. Mr. Greeley said that he deemed that there were many things which it was nut wise to say on these oc« asions, tor fear that wlmt might be said in perfect truth nnd charity may seem to mean a Phariseacal aspect, and he would, therefore, speak only on the one question of human suffering. He then pictured a country, throngh which a hostile army has marched, how fences were burned, cattle taken, and the whole tnnd laid waste. He thought that aside from any motives of charity, aiding the South nt the present time would pay the North pecuniary. If we sent them clothes and food, and enabled them to till their land, they would have a fair harvest next year. Mr- Greeley said there were at the present time half a million widows nnd children in the South, which the war had made and who are wanting for bread. It New York woqld give a million dollars for this purpose, he thought Boston, Phila delphia, and all the large cities, would fall in her train. Mr. Greeley spoke at considerable length, and at the conclu sion of his address offered a resolution that the clergy be asked to call the attention of their congregations to the subject, and ask their aid, which was adopted. J. M. Browne, Esq., was then ap pointed treasurer, and it was announced that he was ready to receive donations. Several gentlemen then made short ad dresses, at the close of which the audi .ence dispersed. GEORGIA ITEMS. The Watchman says that John White, Esq., has been elected President of the National Bank of Athens, and J. A. Carlton, Esq., Book-keeper. F. W. Adams, Esq., is still Cashier and Teller, and one of the best to be found any where—prompt, courteous, and thor oughly posted in all the details of his business. Mr. Van Epps fell into an excavation on the corner of Forsyth and Marietta streets, Atlanta, the other night, and broke several ribs. Two passenger trains now leave At lanta daily for the North over the Wes tern and Atlantic Railroad—one leaving at 8:50 A. M., and the other at 7 P. M. A Boston company in the gold region of Georgia, has brought water eight miles to Hanby Mountain, and is en gaged in washing it down, tearing gul lies in it a hundred feet deep. On the Rome railroad the train will hereafter leave at 8 o’clock, A. M., in stead of 9:45 as heretofore, and return at 2 P. M. as formerly. Alluding to a recent change of the passeugeracheduleon the Athens branch the Watchman facetiously observes: “Old King Cole is a queer old soul, And fond of a change is he.” The same paper says that the elegant residence of the late Hon. Asbury Hull was sold, one day last week, to Archer Griffeth, Esq., of Barbour county, Ala. The price paid was $9,000. The Columbus Su>i says that Joe Clark, a barber of that city, has recently gone into the labor broker business, and broke into jail out in Mississippi. He took out about one hundred freedinen to Jackson, when the rumor got out that he was carrying them to Cuba, and tho Bureau agent put him in jail, and took charge of his “chattels-” The Sun says Joe was taking the negroes to Mr. S. M, Wellbdrn, in Arkansas. The South Carolina Railroad. — This old corporation does not show any signs of age, hut the new year has dawned upon increased activity and progress. The damage done during the war, and by neglect, has been iu.a great measure repaired, and the sigus of the times indicate an onward march that will soon place the road in its primitive condition. Freight is being rapidly conveyed to every point in the State, and the forwarding business has become one of considerable importance. These supplies consist principally of corn and guano, which articles have been bought largely by the planters of the interior; the scarcity of provisions, consequent on the failure of the crcp, created a demand that has increased the freight traffic considerably, and the planters, in order to avoid a similar failure iti the future, have imported a large quantity of the most popular fer tilizers. The rolling stock has been steadily on the increase ; new cars have been built, and the workmen iu the Company Shops have been busy in turning out both freight and passenger cars. At present, they are engaged in retouching sev ral old veterans, and constructing two eon ductor’s cars, which will combine all of the new improvements, being fitted up with raised skylights, running nearly the entire length of the car, and which will add greatly to both its looks and comfort. The entire work done on these cars is perfected in the shop, even to the upholstering and the finer touches that are requisite to give them a perfect finish. Several new cars have recently been put on the road, and tho work of construction is still progressing, and be fore many months have elapsed, every train will be supplied with either new cars, or with those that have been re modelled and improved, until they can not he distinguished from their younger neig It bors. —<1 hailettim Ntws. —The voluntary return of negroes to their masters has been frequently chron icled of late by the Southern press as an evidence of the beneficent working of slavery. Fifteen such left Lynchburg on Saturday for their old home in Fauquier county, Virginia, aided by funds from their lormer mas ters. They were all young aud healthy, and all females save one. — ■ *■ New Advertisements. LIST OF REGISTERED VOTEBS. Ward 1.
