The changed relation

plexing quesUnn in the deteiminntion of ;
the bases of reprrtentntiou liv the South- |
eni States. We fear that this subject, j
though temporary expedients nuiy-nii-
swer the immediate emergency, is yet i
to prove n hone of sectional contention.
Alabama has disposed of it by altering !
to her white basis system, tluit has so
long prevailed in that State, it is hnrdiv j

author)lies them to insi.-l <>n a “repuhli- I
can" form ot government for < ach Slate. .
South Carolina lias adjusted the difficulty j
by a system that blends taxation with
numbers, but still recognizes only tba
white element of tlio population.
In Georgia, we have not had for many
years (if we ever bad) a representative
system based upon population to uny
considerable extent. In the formation
of tho .Senatorial districts, numbers are
altogether ignored, and counties only
mo recognized—each district consisting
of three contiguous counties without re
gard to territorial extent or population.
In apportioning Hepresentntivcs, the
recognition of popular numbers is scarce
!y more appreciable. In over one hun
dred of the counties no regard whatever
is paid to population -they having olio
Representative each, whether they have
leas tlmn one hundred polls (as is the
ease with Camden, Colquitt and Mein-
1,,sb) or over four hundred, us Ktniinuel j
and others have. The remaining thirty- i
seven counties (about on,-fourth of the j
whole number) have onch two llojiru- j
sentotives and no more, thougl
them have over a thousand polls and
others less than five hundred. ( I hose
figures are derived from tho latest re
turns made to the Comptroller’s office,
and are all less tlmn the ordinary returns
because of the e.vistenoo of wav when
they were made.)
It is clear that our system of repre
sentation is u most unequal itml unrea
souohle one. And yet the changing of
it just at this time is a move that must
ho attended with more tliun ordinary
difficulties. We do not, in view of all
its surroundings, urge any immediate
depasture from a system that has so long
prevailed, lint we suggest that i.’ tho
Convention does determine to set it aside
and adopt a ratio recognizing population
ns n basis of represent nlioli, it could
hardly do better than to adopt the Fede
ral representative basis. This cannot
he objected to ns nnti-repuldiean, for it
has the sanction of ami is prescribed
for the govern men f that is made the
guarantor of republican institutions.—
Nor enn it allbrd any just provocation
for an attempt by one .State to interfere
with the domestic concerns of another,
for this recognition of tho black popula
tion is Hie extent to which u majority of
tlio Northern States go in determining
sulfrago and representation. Wo think
it worthy of serious consideration whether
the Fedetal basis is not. under all tho
circumstances, the most politic one tlmt
could now be adopted.

of cittern’* or freemen’* peculiar right*

predicate. Whother or not wo shall be*

Union men complain, ami from which
they cannot recover under his command.
Mr. until says tlmt slavery, under the

that State, which never lost ilf. relation*

Q. What interview did you have vfith

A. I saw Mr. Davis, and the conversa

burned ; I told him 1 didn’t think there
was any use in burning steamboats; ho
said lie would like to havo it stopped, that
ho hud been trying to stop it fur some

I suggested to him then to take the papers

Iiich, Alter speaking of tlio late war, ho
rotors in tho following terms to Mexico:
If the North eliould rcalizo my expec
tations. it will presont itself before the old
world in a new and niott formidable atti
tude,for it will have proved itiolf ns groat
in war as in pence. It is tho only country
in tho world which, while it is a tind-clas*
naval power (for its mercantile tonnage i«
equal t'> our own), can keep 700,000 men
in the field. Has your Emperor thought
of all this in connection with his Mexican
expedition? I confers I saw with amaze-
incut, ns well ns rogret & tho course which
ho took in sending an army to intorfero in
tho internal uHairs of that wretched coun
try. It reminded run, in its impolicy, of
the expedition of tho First Napoleon from
Bayonne into Spain, No human being
can restore Mexico to order, cr confer on
it the blessings of civilized progress. It
requires tlio band of God llimself to ef
fect such a change in that degraded popu
lation of half-casto*. But does the Em
peror know how deeply the public senti
ment ol tho United Stales is outraged and
humiliated by this attempt of a foreign
power to set up an ompiro at their door
without consultation with thorn? How
would you Frenchmon like to see the
Yankees sending an army to establish a
republic in Belgium without consulting
you? Seoing the American papers regu
larly, 1 gather from them that the resent
ment against you for the Mexican inter
vention is ready to burst forth the moment
the rebellion is in suio way of defeat.
The Americans will havo some sorioui
controversies with England, but thoy are
of a nuluro to keep and employ the ing
nuily of diplomatists. But I look for n
peremptory demand from Washington
for explanations from tlio Tuillerics,which
will lead to war or humiliation. 1 sin
cerely wish tho Emporor would withdra
every Fronch soldier immediately.

on the last point, the Hound Tuhlo of last
week thus particularizes :
Thero is hardly an instance to bo found
throughout tho whole war of military in
subordination or contempt of tho civil
authorities by an educated military otli
cer. (irant, Sherman, Thomas, McCiel
Ian, Buell. Lee, Johnston—all leading
generals North and South—have boon
noted for thoir absolute subordination to
llie ruling powers. On tho other hand,
those who have shown the least regard for
tlio restraints of civil authority have been,
in every instftljr*,- lawyms. Stanton.
Holt, Butler, Echonck, Carringlou and
Wallace, are all lawyers. Each of these
hnscoiue out of the war without an3~ mili
tary reputation, and each lias been con
spicuous for the utter disregard of all legal
and civil n-truints.

During a Democratic moss meeting at
Hillsboro, Ohio, a few days since, at which
General Cox, Alexander Long and M. G.
M agin is were tho principal spankers, a
veteran cavalryman, named Fike. took
exceptions to a remark ntado by tho last
named gootleman, and in his rage throw
over the speaker’s chair nnd sprang upon
the platform, whon Maginis drew a pistol
and fired at Fike, wounding hini in tho
head. Fiko retaliated by twico discharg

shot slightly wounding Maginis in the
head and the second severely in the side.
Both parties weio arrested, and tho meet

The Viceroy of Egypt, who himself

tieully ah'Ji?hcd in Georgia. Tho Procla-
ionH of the President of tho United States
ing given freedom to every slave, und the
Ii • 1 (iimi'-ty and Ibc conditions of i»nrdon
forbid anv attempt ut it- revival in any form or
oiniition.
Tho great mu.-* of the Agricultural l’opula-
ion ot tho Slate lias boon released trom their
bligatiou to uuHivuto the soil, except hy their
wn volition, and it must be apparent to tlio
. udiriouH obsoner, however much to bo regret-
teih that the voluntary labor ot tho newly freed
population will not lor tho prcaout, at loast,
supply tho deficiency of labor.
Tho withdrawal of nearly throe hundred
thousand able bodied persons to a greater, or
lees extent from their usual vocations has
created a void which must be filled or tho lauds
oi tlio State will remain untitled, her great re
sources undeveloped und her future prmpvrity
sacrificed.
Tlio remedy, and tlio only remedy for this
condition of attaint consists in tho immigration
ut a hardy and industrious white population, to
supply the plans of those who cannot bo com
pelled to work and whose dispositions do not
incline them to greater lubor than is actually
necessary to suppoit life.
To sue a immigrant'*, no Stat*> offers gro iter
inducement* than the Mute of (Jcurgiu. Ex
tending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Blue
Ridge, it embraces every varioty of soil and
climate. Tho Savannahs of tho coast, tho roll
ing country ot the interior, nnd the mountain
ol tlu* northern part of tho State afford oppor
tunities fm* tho cultivation of almost every pro
duct ( t tropical or tomperute latitudes.
The grano i*< grown with groat success in many
parts ot tho Slate and its cultivation has only
boon limited by tho want of persons skilled in
tho knowlougc ot tlio vine and of the mode of
preparing its yield. Tho Mato is also rich in
gi ld and other minerals, and nothing but ener
gy und the application «»t proper machinery i*
wanting to the (lcvcloj>mont of these hidden
treasures.
Ihi* rid ing of rheop of tho finest breeds lias
been carried on with success, and the vast rall
ies of uncultivated land aff »rd excellent pas-
ures for cattle and all kinds of stock—rice,
iotton tobacco, corn, wliuut. ryo, oats, sugar
ano. the grapu and all species ot fruits find
their appropriate foil and climate within our
oxtonded limits.
The numerous rivers and smaller streams tak
ing their■ riso in the mountains and running
through the .State into tlio Atlantic and tho
(lull in their i radual descent furnish water
power unlailinp; in any season and capable of
putting into operation any kind of machinery.
the state contains upwards of
thirty millions of acres, of which uot more than
ono third has boon eultivuttd und the virgin
torcsl of the w ild lands afford an incxhaustiblo
supply of lurnbi r which formed a heavy item
the exports of Georgia prior to our lato dif
ficulties. These lands, which may be bought at
oomparatlvoly low ra*es. will give to tho now
tier a homestead on which he may erect his
»t tree ami settle for life an inhabitant nnd in
time a citizen of the republic.

said Company to bo five hundred thousand dol
lars, in twenty thousand shares of twenty-five
dollars each: said Company to he orgnnixod by
tho choice of a Prvsidont. and Directors when
all tho sharort shall havo boon subscribed.
The object of the Company is to induce and
utlord aid to the immigration into the State of
Go rgiu of honest, sober nml reliable persons
with thoir families, to bocotnc purchasers of and
settlors on lands n *t now in use, or bo laborers
on farms or plantations on which tho freedmon
refuse to work, or to (ollow their trndos, or be-
coino house servants.
Tho advantages to bo derived at this present
juncture by tho influx ol such a class ot popu
lation, aro manitest. To tho large landholder
it offers the prospect ofsclling his land or farm
ing it out ou advantageous terms. To tho Flan-
tor and Farmer it will supply that labor, in tho
absence of which, the ownership ot the soil is a
burthen, and to all persons in those classes ot
lifo whose business requires or whoso position
permits tbo use of tbo labor of others, it afford*
tbo opportunity o( obtainfog such labor at a
reasonable rate, and of a reliable character.
So also to tho Stato will great benofit accrue:
many of tho immigrants may bring wealth with
thorn, all will bring skill or induntry. which is
the source of wealth, and this infusion of now
lifo will, we trust, iu progress of time, restore
Georgia to her original stato of prosperity.
Tho Company wo believe, will be, not only
soif'fustaiDinjr, but a sourco of profit to the
stockholders. Tho lees paid by those emigrants
who can afford it, for directions us to their set*
dement; tho commission* paid by the owners
«f hinds for the rale, or leasing of their lands
to tlio iiuungiantv, anil hy persons to whom la
borer? "refurnished, the profit? to he derived
from n Saving? Institution to take care of the
Lnus and profits cl the emigrants, which it n
proposed to connect with the Company, will,
wo expect, enable the Company to dorlnro such
dividend* as will make it remunerative to those
who subscribe simply as an investment. But
independently of pecuniary consideration, as
citizens i»t the Mate of Georgia who havo an
intoro.-t iu its future welfare, we ask your assis
tance in tins matter, in our opinion of vital im
portance. \\ o may not leave tho land of our
birth, let us make it unce more a land of prom
ise.
