Memorial Adopted by the Georgia Convention. Mr, Anderson, of Chatham, from tbo cominittco appointed to memorialize tho President in reference to tbo pardon of political prisoners, made tho following ro* port: Milledqeville, Oct. 30th, 18G5. To Ilis Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United. States : Tho delegates of tho State of Georgia, in Convention assembled, do earnestly in voke tho Executive clemency in behalf of Jetlbrson Davis and Alexander H. Ste phens, and James A. Sodden of Virginia, A. G., McGrath of South Carolina, Alli son and David Yulcoof Florida, and II. W. Mercer of Georgia, now confined as prisoners, similarly circumstanced. Your Excelloney has been pleased to restore Mr. Stephens to his liberty, lie returns to tho gratv ful poop.o of thisStato us u solemn pledge of tho magnanimity which rules tho public council.-; and bis great name and inllucnco will hi* potent to rovivc the amity of tho past and fructify the wise and generous policy wiiich your l.'wmllnum- ii, u .1I .. I I... Excelloney has inaugurated. Embolden ed by ibis example, impelled by the purity of our motives, and stimulated by tbo prayers of a numerous people, wo appeal clemency in behalf of tbo distinguish- for ed persons we have named, Restore them to liberty and to tho embraces of their families; translate them from captivity to tho light of freedom and hope, and tho gratitude of the prisoners will bo mingled with tho joyful acclamations which shall ascend to Heaven from tho hearts* of this pcoplo. Jcflerson Davis was elected to bis high position by our suffrages, and in response to our wishes. Wo imposed upon him a responsibility which he did not sock.— Originally cu posed lo the sectional policy to which public opinion, with irresistible power, finally drove him, he became the exponent of our principles and the leader of our cause. He simply responded to tho united voice of his section. If ho, then, is guilty, so are we. Wo were the principals, ho was our agent. L tnot the retribution of a mighty nation bo visitod upon his head, while wo, who urged him to his destiny, are sullbred to escape. The liboral clemency of the Government has been extended over us; we breathb the air and experience tho blessings of free dom; wo therefore ask tfiat tho leader, who, in response to the democratic in stincts of his nature, the principles of liis party, and the solicitations of his section, became the head and front of our oilend ing, shall not no’w be bruised for our ini quities or punished for our transgressions. Mr. Davis was not tbo leader of a feeble and temporary insurrection; he was tho representative of gnat ideas and tho ex ponent of principles which stirred and consolidated a Humorous and intelligent pcop 0. This people was lwel his dupe; they pursued the cuuso they adopted of their own free will, and lie did not draw them on, but followed alter them. It is for tnoso reasons that wo invoke tho Ex ecutive clemency in hn behalf. His frame is feeble; his health is doiicate; ail broken by tho storms of citato, ho languishes out in captivity a vicarious punishment for the acts of bis people. Thousands of hearts are touched with his distress; thousandsof prayers ascend to Heaven for his relief.— Wo invoko in his behalf the generous ex ercise of the prerogative to pardon which llio form and principles of Llio Constitu tion oiler as a boneficenl instrument to a merciful Executive. Wo ask tho continu ance of that career of clemency which your Excellency has begun, and which alone, wo oariu-Lly believe, can securo tho truo unity and lusting greatness of this nation. Dispensing that meicy which is inculcated by tho example of our great Master on high, your name will bo trans mitted to your countrymen as ono of tbo benefactors of mankind. Tho Constitu tion of our country, renewed ai d fortified by your measures, will once more extend its protection over a contented and happy people, founded, as it \siil bo, upon con- sont and affection, and “resting, liko tbo great arch of the Heavens, equally upon all.” The memorial was unanimously agreed to. Presidcnl’s Proclamation. "Whereas, it has ph ased Almighty God during tho year wmeh ip now coming to an end, to rocluim our beloved country from the fearful scourge of civil war, and to permit us to secure the blessings of peace, unity and harmony, with a great enjoyment of civil liberty ; and, whereas our Heavenly Father has also, duffng the year, graciously averted from us tho ca lamities of foreign war, pestilcnco and famine, whilo our granaries are full of the fruits of an abundant season ; and where as, righteousness exaltoth a nation, while sin is a reproach to any pcoplo. Now, therefore. 1, Andrew Johnson, President of the United .States, do hereby recommend to tho pcoplo thereof, that they do set apart and observe the first Thursday in December as a day of nation al thanksgiving to tho Creator ol tho uni verse, for thesodtdivcranccs and 1 lessings; and 1 do further recommend that on that occasion tho whole people make confess sions of our national sins against His in* finite goodness, and with one heart and ono uimd implore the Divine guidance in the way of virtue and holiness. lntestimon3* whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused I he soul of tho United R»nf s to he allixed.

Night beforo last Sara Copeland, a nigger so black that it would require the light of a candle to soo his noso in daylight, made his appearance at llio circus, neatly clad in a Federal suit of cloth, with a flowing sash of red tied around him, his bands, liko n pair of can vassed hams, in white gloves, and upon his shoulders were a pair of LioutoRani’s straps, largo enough for teamsters’ sad dles. The door-hooper, seeing he was an olHeer, anil, being a stranger in the de partment,pasn-d ‘'Lt.Copolnnd” in,and ho was Poon tho “observed ot nil observers," Several polico were ordered to orre.-t him, but, us Lieutenant “Copeland” outranked them they would not touch him. Cope left tho circus and went to a froo negro ball down town, where he camo nenr breaking a cart-loml of hearts—ladies seek ing a “husband oh dbtinction,” but ‘cruel Cope’ went otT, strutting j.s proud as a city girl with her first waterfall. Caul. Geo. Green was put on tho scent nnd caught Copeland, who accented an institution t" “right about” and “lull in” t«» the military prison.—LouiscUle Dcn i • • ■-ru (.

The icil.mony shows that they had resolved on changing their placo ol abode previous to July 4th, but agreed'to remain at the house of Mr. Latimer until idler that date in order that they might ensnare hio little daughter, and got her into trouble.

Tho St Louis Missouri Republican of a late date 6ays : Tbo Now York Observer, a religious newspaper, published in tho metropolis, and very widely circulated among Cnris- Lians ot all denominations, not long ago in an article upon tho “Missouri Oath of 1 urgation,” remarked that tho permis sion of test oaths in this country will leud to a war, compared with which tho war just ended will bo poace. It is said : “No wars on earth are more hateful, inveterate and bloody than religious wars. And they aro provoked by oncroRchmenU of too .Suite upon tho independence of tbo Church.” Wo regard the prospect of another war us very lair. Wo wish no war. Wo wish for peace. Wo are endeavoring with all the ubility and energy which we possess to prevent war, by putting a stop to thoso "encroachments of the State upon tho in- depondonco of tho Church,” ot which the Observer speaks, liut corning ovonts east their shadows before them, and wo fear a religious war is inevitable. From the foundation of our Govern ment no principle of American policy has been more tiimly sotliod than the entire separation of Church and State. Their spheres are distinct—their functions aro different, liefore tho war all parties woro agroed tliut tho church must not decide political questions, and that tho Stale must not docido ecclesiastical questions. Sinco the outbreak of tho inbollion, howovor, this principle has boon practi cally disregarded, both by Church aud Stale. Tho Church has assumod to de cide tho political question of National or Stalo supremacy. The Stato lias assumed to determine what are the proper qualifi cations of a minister of tho gospel, and to forbid the preaching of tho gospol with out tho Stuto’s formal permission, lioth Church and Stato have transcondod their respective spheres; nnd tho result is a quarrel, which must ho stopped at onco, or it will end in blows. Tho proper courso for both parlies is to roeodo from tho l'also positions which they have re spectively assumed, and this is what neither party seem disposed lo do. Wo apprehend that tho ultimate result will ho war. As jjot, the altiludu of par ties upon tho quosliou of roligious freedom is not clearly delined. At prusunt, tho country is exhausted. Timo is necessary for oiganization and recuporation. But the had passions aroused in tho rocent struggle aro still active. And if tho Btuto continues, in tho languago of tho Observ er, to "encroach upon tho independence of tho Church," within live, or ten, or twenty years, wo shall soo a renown! of hostilities upon an entirely diSoront basis. Tho question at issue will be: Shall ( ’hurl'll HIIll Safufn lui nnilfwl ? It It. ill K.. VOL. VII.--NO. 262. Church and Stato bo united ? It will bo a war—not ono of section against another, but of tho next-door-neighbor—-a war for and against tho freedom of religion. On saying this, wo do not threaten. Wo sim ply prodict what is likely to occur. Church and State have hitherto been soparnted. They cannot be* united with out wur. The peace of the oountry de pends upon iho maintenance of the sepa ration between them. That the tendency of tho times is to a union of Church and State will hardly be questioned. Such a dosign is not avowod —but in more than one quurter tho desire is secretly entertained. Moro than one religious sect would liko to bo tbo Na tional American Church—and tho dill'or- ent sects vie with ono another in their b^ds lor the favor of politicians. The great questions of tho day—a question whose magnitude and importance is not yet appreciated by the masses—a question upon which it becomes every man, in or about tho Church, to make up his mind— is, as wo have said, “Shull Church and State bo united ? If so, what Church is most likely, in fact, to bo the National Church? The Prosbyterian? The Baptist? The Meth odist? The Episcopalian ? or tho Roman Catholic? There cannot be much doubt upon this point. But it cannot bo. No Church in this country can wield the powor of tbo State. Neither cun tho State, for any length of liiiiU'Succcod in the attempt to abridge the lroodom of tho Church, Such an attempt is hopeless. Wo plead, thoreforo, with all who favor tho restrictions imposed upon tho clergy by the late Convention in this State, not to persist in a courso which will inevita bly plunge tho country again into war and in the' — * *' — ... „„„ end cover themselves with • batno and disustcr. In tho words of Senator Brown, “It is tho initial of such infractions [upon religious freedom] which wo should opposo. There is no as surance against such ending, excopt tho repression of euch beginning.” Sound philosophy and excellent udvico. Will it eo heeded ? We shall see. Horrible Death from Hvdroimio- in a.—Edwin Bartholomew, ono of the unfortunate persons bitten by a rabid dog in Ibis city last June, died of hydrophobia about livo o’clock this morning. Wo un derstand Mr. B. complained of boing un well day before yesterday morning, but thought nothing of his illness until yo.stor- day uftornoon, when ho wont to consul Dr. Torrence. During the day he acted very strangely, accusing bis friends of boing afraid of him, and thinking him mad. At ono timo ho became Quite ungry at a friend who mot him at tho doctor’s oillco. Luto in the afternoon ho was attacked with a sovero fit of hydrophobia. The local ed itor of tho Herald thus describes his visit at this time: “Wo visited tho room in which ho was confined, and behold a spectacle which out did all tho horrors that we havo ever wit« neased or beard of. “Tbo young man was a raving maniac, and'Wus the subject of tho most dreadful ol visions. From ^is mouth tho poisonous frothy saliva flowed in copious quantities, and bis eyes—wild, glaring nnd enlarged —almost started from their sockets, whilst his hands woro in motion all the timo, as though grasping at something or defend ing himself from somo imaginary person who was attempting bis life. Ills ravings were really appalling. Un wus not secur ed at a late hour, although well guarded by some of'our citizens.” About an hour beloro his death tho pa tient became perfectly quiet, and talked rationally with Sheriff Humphroy and others until a few moments before dissolu tion took plucc. ile told them bo wnssuf* fering from the hydrophobia, and would die shortly.—(juincy, (??? ) Whig, loth. Tho steamboat competition between Richmond and Norfolk, Virginia, is get ting to bequilo exciting. Tho Old Bay Bine having reduced their fare to Ihreo dollars, tho new line determined nut to be outdone, and ordered a corresponding ro- duclion. Tburcuuon the old lino reduced to fifty cents. This was something of a “stunner” to tho new lino, but at a moot ing of their agents they concluded that tho public would not be salibliod with the enormous faro of fifty cents and reduced it to twenty-iivo. In this section such a reduction in fare, where tho boats furnish meals, as these two lines of steamers do, would offer a tempting inducoiuent for oi:u to luke up his ab#Je altogether on the steamboats.—Atlanta Intelligencer, Kates of Pontage. ; ^7 consequence of tho genoral ignornneo n the South of tho rates of postage estab lished by law, many letters of importance are daily lost to thoso interested by being improperly or insufficiently slumpod.

Mb. Blaze.—At Nova I am called on, shortly aflor my arrival, by an athletic, scarlet-faced man, who politely says his nuino is Blaze. “I have u littlo bill against you, sir,” ho observes. “A bill—for what?” “For drinks.” “Drinks?” “Yes, sir—at my bar. I keep tho well known ui.J highly respectod coffee bouso down street.” 'But, my doar sir, there is a mistake. 1 never drank at your bur in my life.” , sir. That isn’t the poi “I know it, sir. That isn’t tbo point. Tho point is this: I pay out my money for good liquors, and it’s tho pooplu's own fault if they don't drink them. There uro tho liquors—do ns you please about drink ing them, but you must pay for them. Isn’t that fair?” His onormous body (around which Puck wouldn’t put a girdle for forty dollars) shook gleefully whilo I read this eminent ly original bill. Yours ago Mr. Blaze was an ngont of the California Stage Company. There was a formidable and well organized op position to the California Stage Company at that timo, nnd Mr. Blazo rondorod them such signal Borneo in his capacity of agent that they were vory sorry when ho ton* dored his resignation. “You aro somo sixtoon hundred dollars bohind in your accounts, Mr. Blazo,” said the President, “but in view of your faith ful and efficient sorvicos, wo shall throw off eight hundred dollars of. that amount. Mr. Blazo soomod touched by this gen- orosity. A tear stood in his i.*3’o and his bosom throbbed audibly. “You will throw oil* eight hundred dollars—you will ?” ho cried at last, seiz ing tbo President’s hand and pressing it pnssionately to his lips. “I will,” returned tho President. “Well, sir,” said Mr. Blazo, “Pm a gentleman—I am—you bot! And I won’t allow no staeo company to surpass mo in nolitoness. I'll throw off the other eight hundred dollars, and we’ll cull it square! No gratitude, sir—no thanks—it is my duty!”—Artemas Ward. Tho Paris correspondent ol the N. V. Times writes that the cholera has broken out at the French capital spontaneously, and not by contact with the points where it is raging in tho South of Franco. Tho disease has appeared principally at Mont* martre, La Chappeilo and tho region around tho Northorn Railway station. The hospital Lariboisiore, situated near the station, has contained from Uvonty to thirty cases daily for five or six days,most of which have been fatal ; but tho facts uro not published otherwise thun at the medical societies and in tho medical journ als. Tho writer says that if the cola days only arrive soon, tho city will probably oscapo this year, and perhaps altogether, the epidemic disease which is raging at Marseilles and Toulon with such intensity.
