It is not my purpose to dictate to the two

KDITf>111A L CORRESPONDENCE.
Atlanta, July 11th, 1863.
Well, we find ourselves at the new Cap
ital of the State. As far as the Capital is j
concerned, Atlanta, it is a thriving, grow- j
iag place, and will in time be the great fo j
cal centre of this section of our grand old |
oidiivjd wealth. It is a go ahead sort of a
place, .-'nd its citizens indulge in great ex
pectations ; of course we find no fault on
that point. Ilad, we the power, or could
we hy word or deed, we would make it as
large as London or Pekin ; we are cer
tainly not jealous or envious of the grow
ing impoitanco of the Gate City. We bid
her God’s speed and rapid progress in all
the elements of material and individual
wealth. Aud just here, we would remark,
that it is one ot the finest and most invit
ing fields for capitalists, for the mineral
and agricultural resources of Georgia are
great and illimitable.
As to the Capitol, the building, we
find it to lie tfce old City Hall, fixed
up to its capacity to hold the members;
bat by no means to compare in size, or
r nrn, or convenience to the old Capitol at
Milledgeville, In talkiDg with several
members, we find that Atlanta is too big a
place for them, and that , they can’t find
ach other after they leave ti e building,
ut s>iy they, in old Milledgeville we could
find a11v one we wanted without trouble,

da far in the trial, judging from these
tacts being established, it would appear
that the avarice of the “Washington De
tectives” has predominated over all feel
ings of humanity. Should this fact be
clearly established, and they proven to
have suborned witnesses, haugiog the De
tectives or their consignment to the Peni
tentiary fur life, would be their just due.

LEGAL EFFECT OF AMNESTY.
The National Intelligencer of j-ester-
dpy very clearly proves hy argument the
plain proposition that the amnesty proc
tarnation of the 4th of July “places all the
people of the United States upon a com
plete'political and civil equality.” except
indeed “such as have been indicted for
offending against the laws of the United
States, or of the. States in any part of the
Uuion,” who “have to await the deter
mination ol the judiciary in their respec
tive jurisdictions,” the President having
excepted such from the benefit of his proc
lamation. All other persons, it says, “are,
in law, innocent of crime, and, in the lan
guage of Lord C«ke, ‘new men’ if they
have heretofore violated the criminal laws
of the United States by participating iu
the late civil war.” It follows, it adds,
“that a person who was a rebel, no more
than a person who was never a rebel, is
subject to be challenged at the polls of his
vicinage on grounds of rebellion, or to he
governed by military authority in any
matter.” ~.
In regard to the power of the States to
regulate suffrage, it says that “the pros
cription of a valuable franchise in 1868
for acts done to the prejudice of the pub
lic good in 1864, or earlier, would appear
to the most stupid or most hJjnded as sim
ply an tx post Jacto law. The Constitu
tion contains these words (article 1, sec
tion 10): ‘No State shall pars any bill of
attainder, cx post facto law, or law impair
ing the obligation of contracts.’ ”
The Intelligencer cites (be limitation of
the powers of Congress in the preceding
section, which prohibits that body also
from passing “any bill of attainder or rx
post, facto lawand it asks how can the
fourteenth article, known as the “consti
tutional Amendment,” should it. be adopt
ed, operate as applicable to a ‘rebel’ upon
a person who, before it wont, into effect,
had to all purposes and iutents, and under
all senses known to law, ceased not only
to be, but ever to have heen, a rebel ?
On these grounds it declares the right of
all persons in the South to vote at the ap
proachiog national elections, and that “it
sidered it the most complete demonstra
| tiou of the great fundamental fact that the j is the duty of those who may he charged
j Federal government was the creature of I with the supervision of elections in the
1 , , , , . - I South to see that uo man is wronged iu
the people of the several sovereign States i . „ b
* r . ilie premises
which made the Federal Constitution and
thereby created the Federal Uuion,” that
lie had ever met with—and ho further
added :
“That if ever the Federal system should
be restored hereafter with an uureserved
admission of the sovereign character of
each State of the Federal Union, it would
be the fruit of the study of this great work
on governinorit aud on honest and firm ad
herence to the irrefutable principles which
have been deduced by him from a body of
undeniable facts, and stated with a can
dor. clearness and forep. which cannot out
exalt even the very high reputation of the
author.”

The Democratic party of Georgia is
again reminded of the Convention to be

point delegates without delay.
The several railroads ol this State will
carry delegates to the Convention, and all
persons attending the Moss Meeting of the
party, for ilie usual fare going, and return
them fiee of charge.
Able and distinguished gentlemen will

The following extract is taken from a
letter dated Para, Brazil, May 31st. We
agree with the writer, that it is not a coun
try for Southerners. Stay at home and
rebuild the waste places :
“You doubtless, with many others desire
to emigrate to some new country ; do not
come to Brazil, for you will ha most egre-
giousiy disappointed.
In the first place, the whole of the Am
azon country is merely a densely wooded
country, so dense that it is impossible for a
bird lo fly through it iu many plsces. The
decomposition of vegetation has left upon
the sandy soil a kind of bloom or decom
position which for a few years will pro
duce finely but alter two or three years ot
tillage the ground coases to yield in the
summer season, aud will only produce in
the winter or rainy season. The temper
ature of the weather is so genial that the
warm rains of itself will force vegetation.
You may clear your lands and burn it off,
and plant your crop, but as soon as the
corn or any vegetables get a finger’s height,
the Sauba ant and other insects will cat it
down. The weather is entirely too warm
to a'o woi k from 11 A. M.. until 3 P. M.
Every Colouy that has been commenced
iu Brazil, without a single exception has
broken up and the Colonists are strolling
i^iout the different cities, towus and vil
lages, without anything to eat, except
whatever they beg or pillage. Many are
dead, others sick, and every one, to a man,
desire to return to the United States of
America. . The human eye never witness
ed a more distressing sight on this earth-
Our people do not, and it seems can not
learn the lauguage of this country—which
is the Portugese—consequently they can
not obtain work. There aro ten thousand
of serious objections, too numerous to men
tion here.”

Corruption of Congress—Important Facts
. fur the People,
A circular just issued by Capt. Ward,
as President of the National Manufactur
er's Associations, gives some facts vouch
ed for by a committee of the association
mentioned, of which committee Capt.
Ward is the.chairman. All the members
of the committee are Republicans, and no
man will question the credibility of their
testimony, as far as it tells against the,
party to which the members of the com
mittee belong. The facts given are worthy
of mote than a pa3siDg notice. It is im
portant that the tax-payers of lire United
States should realize them; To render
them more conspicuous, therefore, we re-
, r . . , . , melancholy over lus huhertu jovial nature

iy tbe same language employed by the
committee : •
Tho enormous estimates for public ex-
penditurc3 to which the country became
accustomed during tbe war, have been
kept up in many departments solely to
avoid discharging vast hosts ot official
idlers.
The estimates of 186S, for the merely
miscellaneous expenses ot the Government
were five and a third times as great as tbe
actual expenses of 1860.
There are dow 41,000 officials required
by the Executive Department alone to ex
ecuto tbe acts of Congress, whose aggre
gate salaries auuually amount to over
thirty one mi>li“U dollars—those officials
being paid $1,000 to $13,000 a year each.
The entire expense of the officials who
performed similar duties iu the last year
of Mr. Buchanan's administration, amount
ed to only five million dollars—less than
one-sixth the amount now paid.
About sixty rniiliou dollars are lust to
(peat question, and I foar that a Geor-
legislature, will declare Georgians rebs
fl ‘* ar ‘fl traitors, and that without trial, n
,& LierB hand must be raised against a

P-henry. We must go iiack into (be Union,

The IndiaQ bureau is a source of vast
his intellectual us
er satisfied. Colise
um his surroundings,
lie Ktod no political ambi
tion ; his tender nadna fouud all its aspirations
bound up in in’s fcojme circle. He says himself,
“in that circle 1 found all my solace, all iny com
fort from care and sorrow; it was the limit, be
yond which 1 had no calculations iu this life.”
Yet he was drawn beyond this limit by the so
licitations cf his friends, and accepted several offi
ces which it was their pleasure to confer upon
litm. And I think his connty-iiieu will support
t he statement, that in whatever capacity he served
them, he left an unsullied record behind. His el-
evafed tone of character wou him the respect of
all who knew him : ami his chatty to tbe erring,
his benevolence to the poor, formed a great ele
ment of that, vast popularity which all will accord.
One by one his sources of happiness were de
stroyed. until there remained not sufficient to
make life desirable. Death entered the homo cir
cle in which dwelt tiie fight and life of alibis
hopes, and dealt him a blow which cast a settled

upon him, the t races of u hick descended with him
to tho tomb. Then followed long years of ill-
health. and. finally, his eyes failed ; he grew more
and more blind and at ’ast was left to fight the
tierce battle of*life in darkness, unblessed by the
sight of a friend. He soon grew weary of the
conflict and looked to the con Jiing of the Death
Angel as the most pleasurable event ihe future
held for him.
His reiig ou%jUith was uncommon and pecu
liar, but ope iit^bioh ho most conscientiously be
lieved. which wd^^ris refuge iu time of trouble,
upon u hick lie Icl^d as long as he breathed.
Never was death maWso calmly—so gladly. He
did not. shrink frourois icycjjuch, but, quietly

riddle would he solved,\ to the study of which &!-:

chill of death stole over hwn. he “wrapped the dra-
