L. CLAYLAND,] [J. B. HUMBLE, EDITORS AKn PROPRIETORS. FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 27,; 1865. RGIA STATE CONVENTION. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Milledgevidle, Oct. 26tli, 1865. I notice among the lobby members here Maj. Gen. Steadman. He comes unaccom panied by his staff, and, unofficially, as I un derstand it. He will remain here several days. His object seems to be, to ascertain from the delegates, the true state of senti ment among the people, in his department, and report to "Washington accordingly! As a politician, he has always been strongly con servative, and a democrat-of the old sch'ool. He has no sympathy, whatever, with the radi cal element of the North. His manners are popular, agreeable and prepossessing. In person, he is about the medium height, rather robust,—a little on the aldermanic order. His head, general contour of features, and, particularly, mouth, is decidedly, Byronic,- an infallible index of the good natured Ben meant. 1 should take him to be a suc cessful lady’s man. ;"" • His advice to members of the convention,' is sensible and sound, and it is to be hoped, will not be lost upon them. He thinks the congressional test oath, constitutional; inas much as that instrument provides, that each branch of congress, is to be the exclusive judge of the qualification of its members. He advises, that our people,' by all means, if possible, send men who can take it, in order to avoid trouble and annoyance., He. is op posed to negro suffrage, here, as well as else where. Major Gen. Wilson' and staff, and Hon. Hi M. Waterson of Tennessee, are also here, but simply “lookers on in Venice.” The amnesty oath was most appropriately administered yesterday to the members of the convention, by Judge I.L. HaAeis, of the Ocmulgee circuit. It was an impressive sight. Young men, hot yet recovered from wounds, received in battle—grey haired men, who had sacrificed their children, their prop erty, tlieir all, in defense^,of .what they " con ceived to be their honor, and, the right, together formed a circle ’round'the: Holy book, and registered • an oath ih Heavcii, to henceforth protect and defend the Union of these States. These men gracefhlly bend to the stem logic of events. They are hon est and sincere, and will regard their plight ed faith. Could our friends in the North, who yet fancy there is lijrking, in this section, 'latent treason, have witnessed this sight, their apprehensions for the future, would appear groundless. From the anxiety manifested by the North ern press to secure reports of the proceedings of this convention, it is evident that the ac tion of Georgia is looked for by the people of the North, with peculiar interest. ' And, it is to be hoped, the correspondence oifthe North ern press, from this place, will be confined strictly to facts, and the true spirit of the proceedings; that It will be characterized by no bitterness or misrepresentation; that a spirit of enlightened liberality, and a desire to harmonize conflicting elements, will gov ern correspondents in their lucubrations.— My acquaintance with those, already here, leads me to believe this will be the case! -!,, ' . v ■ i, ., C. Speech op Gen. Banks.—We publish elsewhere copious extracts from a speech re cently delivered-in Boston by Gen. Banks, who is a candidate to represent one^^f the districts of Massachusetts in the house of rep resentatives. The effort was simply and purely political, the words of'a sectional American politician who fails to rise' to the dignity ot a statesman; who fails to take that comprehensive view of the present situ ation of affairs so preeminently necessary in all men who aspire to be legislators in a com mon country. The rights and interests, of this Union are not all concentered in Massa chusetts, or in the Northern States, as General Banks would have us believe. Ho is afraid to admit the Southern States bacTc into the Union upon terms of equality; not because their admission would mot be right, but.be- cause iit would endanger the present political supremacy of the North ! and this from a man claimed by his friends to be a,statesman! But 5t is a curious anomaly iiithe. history of Gen; Banks, that he fought • inithe. Federal armies for four years to bring back the South ern States .to the Union,and now when they are applying at the door for readmission he opposes it. Gen. Banks is a disunionist. PERSONAL. Maj. Gens. Steadman and Wilson arrived in this city, on the train • from Milledgeville, last evening. The former officer wilk remain dnring'the day, and' leave" for Atlanta this evening. Brig. Gen. Tiwox, of the Refugee and Freedmen’s Bureau, was iii Milledgeville yes. terday. In a brief int erview we learned the object of his visit to the capital is' to in augurate measures by which the apprentice ship of negros,. and contracts for labor, can be made through the civilofficers of the dif ferent counties. The genera!.is confident .a. system can be adopted, that will benefit both races, ;and will take great pleasure inex- plaining the purposes of the government "to the members, or a committee, ,of the conven tion. He will remain at the capital unti- next week. Personal.—Dr. J. E.- Nagle!' our well known and excellent special correspondent “Cousin Nourma,” called Upon' us. yesterdaj-. It is known to 'alt our readers 'that he li^s been on an extensive tour through . the mid dle and Northern States recently,-'an'd to him they are indebted for many truly interesting letters. We hope he will liaye ii pleasant so-' joum in our city. ; . : , t ,v The Poles in Texas.—Col. Smolinjki, the agent of the Polish emigrants, has purchased in their name extensive lots of land in Free stone and Anderson counties, in 'Texas.— These will be divided into lots of fifty acres each, and sold to the settlers at tWo dollars per acre, payable in ten years. The first batch of emigrants is expected to arrive ip January next. Great hopes are entertained in Texas of the beneficent influence of these settlers upon the development of the agricul tural resources of the country. PROCEEDINGS OP THE FIRST DAY—CONCLUDED. MJ-. Harris, of Worth: As this is an im portant document (Governor’s message) .1 move that 500 copies be printed for the use of the Convention. The motion was carri ed. Mr. Barnes ; I oiler, Mr- President, the following: Kesolved, That Editors and Reporters of the Press be admitted to seats on tlie floor of the Convention. —I 1 to 1C . The resolution was agreed to. ]\tr. Hanselt, : In view of the ardous la bors devolved upon the .Messenger, and in accordance with the precedent established by the preceding Convention of the State, I move that the Messenger be authorized and directed t > employ an assistant. We have upwards of 300 members in this body, and it will be difficult, if not impossible, for one man to wait on the whole. I therefore make the motion. 1 Mr. Seward : I move that the Convention adjourn till to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. The hour3 of 91-2 and 9 o’clock were also proposed, and on putting the question the Convention adjourned till* to-morrow; morn ing 9 1-2 o’clock. SECOND DAY. The Convention 1 met at the hour of 91-2 a..m., pursuant to adjournment. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Crawford, President of Mercer University. The minutes of the preceding day were read and approved. Mr. Hansell : I beg leave to call up a resolution which I introduced on yesterday, and which I hope will be acted on immedi ately, notwithstanding its apparently insignif icant character, for it relates to the comfort of us all. The resolution was to authorize the Messenger to employ an assistant. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Kenan : I beg leave to present to the C invention, an ordinance to enable the Pro visional Governor of the State to borrow money. AN ORDINANCE. * Fo request and authorize the Provisional Governor of Georgia to borrow, bn the credit of this' State, a sufficient snm of money to pay what’may be due on the civil list, and what may become due there on, until, by the collection of taxes, the State may dispense with loans; and to ex tend the power to the Governor to be elect ed by the peopla in a certain contingency. The people of Georgia hy their Delegates in Con vention assembled, do hereby declare and ordain That the Provisional Governor of this State be and is hereby respectfully requested and an- thoized, upon the faithand credit of the State of Georgia, to negotiate a loan or loans of money, or U. S. currency, sufficient in amount to pay whatever is due on the civil list of the political year 1865, as also to pay whatever may become due on the civil list of tlie polit ical year 1866, inclusive of appropriations for the support of the Lunatic Asylum, and other govermental purposes, until the State .of Georgia; by the collection of taxes to be imposed hereafter by the Legislatare, and Other resources of tlie State, shall be enabled, without embarrassment, to dispense with a resort to temporary loans—the money so bor rowed to be deposited in'the Treasury, and to be paid out by the Executive warrant as is provided by existing laws. And be it further ordained by the authority aforesaid, That, should the Provisional Gov ernor, from any cause, fail to make a sufficient loan or loans to effectuate the intention of this ordinance, that the' Governor to be clected.by the people,, as his successor to all the executive powers of the State Goveip- ment, be, and i» hereby empowered to make, from time to time. -lull loan or loans for the service of the State of Georgia as is herein Resolved, That a committee of five be ap pointed' by' - the chair, to memorialize . the Ptesiqmi t of the United StateS un bchalf of Jefferi»n_ Davis and A, II. Stephens, and of James A. Scddoh of Virginia, A, G. McGrath of South .Carolina,'GoV. AllisOti and David L.' Yulee of Florida, ancI'H.'W. Mercer-of Georgia, now confined as prisoners in Fort Pulaski, at the mouth of the Savannah river. contemplated. Mn. Kenan : I give notice that on Satur day or Monday next, I will call up this ordi nance for final action. The President announced the following as the committee of 16, appointed under, the resolution of Mr. Jenkins : Middle Circuit, Blue Ridge Brunswick “ Chattahoochee." Cherokee “ Coweta “ Fliiit Macon “ Northern “ Ocmulgee , “ Pataula “' Southern' “ South "Western. “ Tallapoosa “ Eastern “ Western “ C .T Jenkins, - Danjd Irwin, J C Nichols,, A IT Chappell, ■IFB Jackson, -' R A T Ridley, E G Cahincss, - C B Cole, Wm M Reese, - A H Kenan, - J L Wimberly, - J L Seward,' - Henry Morgan; - W F Wright, - T E Floyd, - J T Sun’mon. Mr. Jenkins : Being very desirous, ns far as it .may be practicable, to expedite the business of this convention, and to assure an early adjournment as the business of the body will allow! I ask permission for leave of absence this morning tor the committee which lias just been announced. If that leave be granted, I will take occasion to say If I am not. mistaken, I think it not impossi ble that if this convention will remain in session an hour or two, the committee will be able to present matter for the consideration of the body,.. Leave of absence was granted to '- the. com mittee. 1 » _■■■ ' ’■< • Mr. Hopkins offered the following Reso lution : . Mr. Hill : I move that the resolution be indefinitely postponed. I think this Conven tion has been called for a higher purpose than to instruct the President of tlie United States in relation to -his duty; I have heard it suggested, since my arrival here, that the Convention would be called upon to nomi nate some citizen for Governor of the .State. In my opinion, we have been .called together for a higher and nobler purpose than any of these. The President of the United States understands his. situation' better than the Convention can, and I submit we would lie but embarrassing him, by the action proposed. He is a man of iron will, and will dp What he thinks his duty, regardless of 'the opinion of this Convention. T 1 hope the resolution wiil not be adopted. Mr. Anderson: Mr. President,,I simply presented the resolution, as an act of mercy; not for the purpose of. dictating to the Presi dent. We all stand here, to-day, as pardoned, and we are but asking the same clemency to others that has been extended to ourselves. Some of the gentlemen,-whose pardonis asked for by this resolution, are citizens of this State, and we cannot but feel a deep in terest in their welfare. General Mercer is at present confined in Fort Pulaski, at the month of' the Savannah river. Mr. Stephens has been released only on his parole! and has not yet been pardoned. I can see no reason why this body should not interest itself, in behalf of these distinguished prisoners. Mr. Hopkins : I do hope this resolution will not pass. The President of the United States already knows that every man who has a Southern heart, feels for the prisoners, to whom reference is made, in this resolution; and so far from expediting their pardon, it will have a tendency to retard it. The reso : lution will only tend to embarrass him, in his action. He iis already doing as muchfor the South, as he has it in his power to do. He knows the circumstances of‘the case, better than we can here, arid I have nff doifbt/ih due time, they will all he liberated. 1 1 am as ready as any member of this Convention, in my in dividual capacity, to sign a petition for their pardon; but I am utterly opposed to the Convention, having nnything to do in the matter. Let us hot embarrass the President in his action. Let us not attempt to" gain too much, lest we should injure the parties we seek to benefit. Mr. Davis-is now held as guilty of treason, against the government.— Let him be tried. If he is innocent, .of the charge, he will not wish to shun the trial; and if he is guilty, he should not be screened by this body. : ■ Mr. Matthews of Oglethorpe: Mr. Presi dent, I -respectfully urge upon this Conven tion, that our - object in sustaining a resolu tion of this kind, is one of sympathy for the unfortunate persons who are now incarcerat ed by the government of the United States, nothing more, nothing less. The past with all its' calamities, its griefs' and its sacrifices, is not now the subject of debate. It can never be revived by the first or second'resolution. It is gone forever. Th'e chief person whose pardonis asked lor; is - Jefferson'Davis, late President of the Confederate States. He is now, no longer, a representative man. "When the Confederacy was struggling for life, Mr. Davis represented Southern independence.— That government has passed away, and he is, therefore, no longer, its representative. No principle is therefore involved in our asking for his pardon. We have all returned to mil 1 allegiance to the constitution and government of the United States. We have taken the oath to support the Union'thereunder, and we intend, as true and loyal men, to abide by that oath. I cannot; therefore, * see how it would embarrass the President', for us to ask- the pardon of Mr. Davis. Ontheothef hand, I believe, that our silence on the subject' would be liable to be misinterpreted into in difference as to his fate. The Southern men have, during the struggle of four years, illus trated Southern valor, upon.' many a hard fought field; and they have illustrated South ern manhood, in returning to their allegiance when the cause was lost. I see no improprie ty, whatever, in adopting the-resolution. Mr. Hill of Morgan: Mr. President, t wish to say that it is not my fault this debate has assumed so wide a range. T objected to the resolution, because I thought it was not ex pedient; at the present time, to call upon the President, to do more for the South, than he is already doing; and because, I thought it more important to restore' Georgia to her former connection, at the earliest period. I did not think that it was the province of this Convention to memorialize the President up on this subject. I think our first duty is to attend to the legitimate business, for which we have been called together. Jlyt- (/Ohen; I regret that the resolution of.my,colleaguehas met with the opposition which has,been manifested. It is true, that the people of Georgia, did not instruct;.the members of the Convention to vote for. this PUBLIC PRINTER. H r - Reynolds: I understand that arrange ment . lias been made between the two presses of this city, by which the profits de rived from the public printing of this body are to be devided between them; and that the Messis Orme, of the Southern Recorder, are to be tlie candidates before this body. As there are no other candidates for that office, I ; move the Messrs Orme be elected printers for this body. The motion was agreed to. REPEAL OF SECESSION. ORDINANCE! The committee of 16 reported through its Chairman, Mr. Jenkins, the following or dinance : AN ORDINANCE, : To repeal certain ordinances "and resolutions therein mentioned, - heretofore jjassed by 1 tho people of the State of.Georgia in Con vention. We, the people of the State of Georgia, in Convention at our seat of Government, do de clare anil ordain, That an Ordinance adopted by tlie same people, 1 in' Convention, on * the 19th day of January, A.;D. 1861, entitled “An Ordinance to dissolve the Union be tween the State of Georgia and other States united with her under a compact of Govern ment, entitled the Constitution of the United States of America,” also an Ordinance- adop ted by the same, on the 16th day.,of March, in tlie year last aforesaid, entitled “Ail Or dinance to adopt and ratify the Constitution of the Confederate States of America,” and also all Ordinances and resolutions of the same, adopted-between the 16th day of Jan- nary and the 24th day of March, in the year aforesaid, subversive. of } or antagonistic to, the civil and military authority ot the Gov ernment of the United States of America un der the Constitution thereof, be, and the same are hereby, repealed. The Ordinance was adopted. REDI8TEICTINO THE STATE. Mr. Jenkins also offered the following AN ORDINANCE, To .establish Congressional Districts, and to provide for certain elections : The people of Georgia, in Convention as sembled, do ordain, That conforming to the last apportionment of members of the House of Representatives of the United States Con gress, there shall be in the State of Georgia seven Congressional Districts, constituted as follows, until changed by act of the General Assembly, viz: The First District shall include the coun ties of Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, McIntosh, Wayne, Glynn, Camdem, Charlton, Warej Pierce, Appling, Tatnall, Bullock, Effingham, Scriven, Emanuel, Montgomery, Telfair, Cof fee, Clinch, Echols, Lowndes, Berrien, Irwin Laurens, Johnson, Brooks, Colquitt - and Thomas. - jj The Second District shall include the coun ties of Decatur, Early, Miller, Baker, Mitch ell, Worth, Dooly, Wilcox, Pulaski, Houston.

Mr. D'uBose, of' Hancock, came forward and was sworn. Sir.

Tlie resolution was adopted. Mr. Hammond, of Fulton, offered the fol lowing : Resolved, That 500 copies of, the annual re port of the Comptroller General made to the Governor on the 16th inst., be printed for the use of this Convention.

They did not instruct. us off any subject connected with our.duties here, ; They have. )eft thi9 question, as weji as ali others, to our own discretion, but we all know very well, what their wish would.be on this sub ject. I believe that almost every man, in the the length and breadth of this land, approves of what Mr. Johnson has already done: and de sires sincerely that he would pardon theprison- ers that are mentioned in this resolution. Are wc to be told that the President has a heart of stpne, and would, not. listen to the language of our petition ? . Qr, that he wpul(l be embarrassed by our action ? Would the judge, who sits upon the bench; be. embar rassed by the petition of the jury; for mercy for the criminal whom, they have found' guil ty? On the contrary, he would,be ready, if it were possible, in accordance with his views of the extenuating circumstances connected with th* gnilt of the prisoner; to grant, the pe-i tition; and sq, in'my opinion, would■> it be with the President in regard to the resolu tion which we propose to pass. The resolution was amended, so as to in clude in the petition for pardon all the pris oners now in confinement by the government of the United States, and passed.

There shall be held, on the 15th day of November next, a general election in the several counties and election districts of this State, for Governor, Senators (by sena torial districts) and.

James Me aka We are scarcely correct in confining the loss so worthy a man,.so upright a citizen, so gener ous a gentlemen to the limits pf this city, for truly belongs, to the entire South. Mr. James Meaha, late co-proprietor of the Lanier House, was born in Tipperfairy county, Ireland, and came to America'while yet a child, For some twenty-five or thirty-years prior to his death,’he resided in the Southern States, and will be kindly remembered by thousands as having been formerly connected with the Charles- ton Hotel. . ,, As a father, as a husband, as a good and be nevolent citizen, as a gentleman, kind, benign, polite, hospitable and charitable; as an honora ble member of the Free and Accepted Masons, James Meara leaves, as his memento to perpet uate his memory, an honorable name and un blemished reputation, As a man he was esteem ed; as a gentleman, he was respected; as citizen, he was valued; as a father, and a bus band, his loss is irreparable. Ho died suddenly, in the prime of his Valuable life, having attained the age of 4G years last August, and his dying cast a deep shade of sor row over the large circle of active life, within which he stood prominent in love and eBteem. While we deplore his lpss, merely as his ad miring friendB, let us not be unmindful of the illimitable grief into which his untimely death has plunged his weepingwidow and four father less children. , May the Great Father of all, temper the force of this terrible blow,' and pour the oil of resignation upon their bleeding hearts What is our loss, great as it is, to theirs ? 8.
