MORTALITY AJtOMJ Till' NEGROS tiaHui editors, we have no doubt, have •Men barn restrained from making public, fata in thrir possession concerning that un- t class of our population known os , by the consideration that the ■tswth. if told, would rriket upon the govern ■rsf ha thrie action declaring the negros free, asad haws the qjrsiance of an indirect ap peaf far their ta enslavement. The latter ooaridcratisw, faa a variety of reasons, has eoasad to have any roe trolling weight. No i at the Moth can now think the r so destitute of common sense to Imagine that negros l or will ever be slaves again. > of the negro Uun<eif lo his two constitution*, state anti I, an.I the solemn pledge of the United am inmpcrabic Itarricna to such an We shall, therefore, give some i oar pommakio,shewing the wrctchtd of the nqgtus in our mhlst, with the twill Iks taken to of this city, all tohl. i* soul*—one half white black. The monthly of the mortality in the city, liefore ring the war. when the negros were ire of, was about forty, proportioned Tltc mortality ia this city, daring the last was, aa nearly as can lie ascertained, tundrvd, while the number of g the white population remained the name as before the war. of this difference in the raortal- the blacks toed* explanation. When farce* took possession of were all declared free.

Tbe fiat bad gone forth, whether for the weal or •f the negro. The fields were deser ted ef the lnherus, and almost in a body, the wmts and children employed as honse asrvamt* m -the city, left cotnfortsl.le homes, seined with a sudden p ami on for freedom and indtpeadcstiy netting up far themaelves. In- ■igated by anitotBademre far city life, and rn.hr the apprahemioo that their freedom not he complete if they did not leave ormcr homes, nor permanent, unless un- icyaa ef United States soldiery, the giua docked from the country into the city, tocaaaiag a awasanee here, aa they are repre- kdadto hsva been in other Southern cities, f ,-ience was, that every tenement HfatouU ha obtained, was crowded with ^Mmf finanads lodged in the suburbs in Issah itban, or ia tbe open air without - -ter i y kind. It was in vain that we p-.-wte: , .l.ni Uk attention of both the mtod^Jml and military authoritim to the ad:u’. mortality that must soon ensue, in -.•■.iHi-.-e of tiiis state of things. The ne- •frre. and omU not be abated of r:.>-v »-a» the ready response. It vain we urged, that the negro* forced to luavctbe city, as onprima leading a va_Tsnt. and hence a . ..

He will see stalking about ill the form of stout .Shy a® jo« or sitting with fol.led anus in id iuStiflrtencc a* to the fotnre: lie w ill we; negro men in tbe liquor shop* gulping down large draught! of the meanest whisky; be will find bouses tenanted tenfold beyond their capacity with human beings; at night fall be will sec hundreds of negro women and girls strolling along tbe streets, solitary or in crowds, to become the prey of last; and if he will extend his inquiries into the cordition of many negro families in our midst, he will often find the head of tbe family absent in tbe army, or gone away from the helpless ones he is now lxiund to support. This is only s part of what an intelligent observer would behold amongst tbe men, women and children who have been made free. No wonder that Chap lain Fkexci, who travelled so extensively over the State, should have recently remark ed to a Xew York audience, that the great cry of Georgia negros woul.l soon lie for money to bny coffin* for themselves and their families. Now what ia to be the end of all these things! It needs no prophet to foretell the ruin of the race. The small-pox is already at work doing dreadful havoc, and threatens to be • scourge to the black race as terrible os the plague or the cholera ever was to the white race. But humanity requires us to ask another and a different question: What is the appropriate remedy far thcsewivils 1 The answer to this is also patent. Let the negro lie kept in the country where his services are needed, and let him lie evmjtelled to perform his contracts. Some compulsion is necessary, and we leave it to the government to say what kind it shall lie. TIIE MACON AND AUGUSTA RAIL ROAD. The action of the public meeting held in this city yesterday, to consider the affair* of this company, will lie found in our columns this morning. The exhibit of the financial condition of the company, and the progress that has been made with the work, officially presented to the meeting, was highly encouraging. Nearly one million of dollar* wo* expended when the war broke out. The building of one bridge, and a small amount of grading, will make the road-bed ready for the superstruc ture. The company is free from debt, and lus enough assets to purchase the iron.— Funds to liuild the Oconee bridge, complete tbe grading, and lay the frock, is all that is needed to open the line in a short lime. The •mount to be raised is small; Macon is only asked to contribute twenty-five thousand dol lars, as her proportion of the aggregate re quired to give her this important avenue and outlet for trade. The committee, we learn, will call upon our citizens at once for assist ance, and every one should respond freely. The Constitutional Amendment. The Millcdgcvillc Union of yesterday says the provisional governor of Gcoigia will sub mit to the legislature Hit views of the govern ment upon the adoption of the amendment to the constitution relative to slnvcry, and adds: Wc have seen already that the president lias thought proper to retain in office the pro visional governors of Mississippi, South and North Carolina—and thus it will lie in Gcor- S ’a if the legislature docs not promptly adopt e constitutional amendment. We presume no man in Georgia expects to own a negro while he lives, and certainly no one ever expects to get back the negros he once owned; then why not adopt the Constitutional amendment i— The President insists that wc do so, and as it is a condition precedent to the restoration of our rights, in the Union, the sooner wc do it the lictter. Wc know not how soon other requirements may l« asked of u»; but as we have “no say" in the matter we must acqui esce, with the licst possible grace, in manifest destiny, leaving to God and the consciences of men the fate which, ultimately, is to lie ours. The English Cattle Plaque.—An Eng lish doctor who has investigated the matter, declares that it is safe to cat beef steaks ent from animal* in which the cattle plague has been ftilly developed. He adds that lie fed some of the lower animals upon the diseased meat and intestines, cooked and raw, of those affected with cattle plague in its worst stage, without producing any injurious results. In addition to this, he has met with a great many men who have had cuts and scratches on their hands and who have liecn daily in oculated with this poison without taking any harm. Having' a High old Time.—Andreas Han sen, known as the Prussian giant, was, on the 10th, among the noble objects of arraignment in the tombs police court, having fiecn ar rested in the fourth ward on the previous night in a helpless condition, produced hy a free indulgence in the patent liquids for which that locality enjoys some reputation. After bring arraigned the giant was dis charged. . Freight Reduced.—Arrangements have been made with Messrs. Colby & Co., of Sa vannah, by which a new line of steamers have been placed on the route between Savannah and Doctortown, in connecticn with the At lantic and Gulf Railroad, so tliat there lias been a large reduction in freights shipped to Sa vannah by that route. Mr. Sanford is ship ping agent at Doctortown. ssr Dr. Pusey is bnsy as an author in Eng land. He has published a reply to the address of Dr. Manning, Archbishop of Westminister, in which he contends that the Church of England is a portion of the Catholic Church. Dr. Pu*cy has in the press some lectures on Daniel, the prophet, lately delivered at Ox ford. / y Chas. J. Faulkner, cx-Hinistcr to France, is in W ashington looking after his 5. He had a letter from Mr. Lincoln granting his pardon. He was afterwards in. dieted by tbe United States District Court at Norfolk for treason. No action has yet been had in the case. Subterranean Butter.—It is well known that cream can be converted into butter by simply bring buried in the ground; but it is not generally known that this mode is in common use in Normandyand some other parts of France. The process is as follows: The cream is placed in a linen bag of mod erate thickness, which is carefully secured and placed in a hole in the ground about a foot and a half deep; it is then covered up and left for twenty-four or twenty-five hours.— When taken out the cream is very hard, and only requires beating for a short time with a wooden mallet, after which half a glass of water is thrown upon it, which causes the hnttcr milk to separate from the batter. If the quantity to be converted into butter is large, it ia Ieft more than twenty-four hours in the ground.. In winter, when the ground is frozen, the operation is performed in a cel- lar, the bag being well covered up with saml. Some persons place the bag containing the cream within a second bag,'in order to pre vent any taint from the earth. This system saves labor, produces a larger amount of ex cellent butter than churning, and, moreover, it is said never to fail.—Journal of the Society of Arte, LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. DISPATCHER TO THE ASSOCIATED TRESS. Washington Items. W ashington, Nor. 25.—Among those who called at tbe Executive Mansion to-* lay were Gen. Grant, Maj. Geary, and Senator John son, who was a member of the United States Senate with President Johnston, and is now seeking pardon for participation in the re bellion, and speaker Colfax.

Bish op, daughter of the late Secretary of the rebel navy, is endeavoring to obtain lier father's release on pardon. Beside* the above named visitore, some came seeking office with no recommendations besides their own state ments and claims to loyalty, while others hod business of so trifling a nature it could have lieen attended to l*j- the humblest servant at the White House. The members of the Farragut court mar tial visited the rebel ram Stonewall to-day, for the purpose of trying the capacity of ves sels in connection with the trial of Com. Cra ven, for failing to engage the Stonewall in the harbor of Ferral. The Star says that the statement that Judge Mugrath and the rebel Secretary of War, Scddcn have been released from Fort Pulaski, and Governor Lubbock from Fort Dclcware on pardon is without foundation, and no probability exists that either will soon lie set at liberty The Herald's special says: One of the late acquisitions to the House of Representatives is a carpet imported from England, costing the round sum of $7,000. It is very elegant in pattern and of the finest quality, but the opinion is not wanting among the crowd of people that daily visit the carpet and exam ine the splendid appointments of the Repre sentative Chamber, that the fabric in ques tion could with "greater propriety have been hod from an American loom instead of beyond the seas. The Commercial's Special says: As the President completes a section of Ilia message, it is put in type at a confidential printing, office at tlie Treasury Department, and proof sent him for perusal. New York, Nov. 25.—The Tribune’s dis patch says Gen. S. II. Curtis of Iowa, once President of the Baltimore and O. It. It., and J. II. Simpson, U. S.

The World's special says Conway, late freedmen's agent in Louisiana, lias been or dered to report to Gen. Fisk. World's special says Mr. Prescett, of South Carolina, Gov. Perry's delegate to look after the affairs of that State, had an interview with the Pccsidcnt to r day, and starts for home at once. General Butler who came here to-day, has been closeted with tlie radical members of Congress who are now here. Terrible Disaster on the Mississippi—One Hundred Persons Drowned Memphis, Nov. 25—A collision occurred last night between the Niagara and Post Boy, on the Mississippi river, seven miles above Helena.

Pria^. , Dc Russy, of the Corps of Engineers died l this city to day, aged 75 years. After a closing up shower Inst night, tlie storm aba ted, and to day throughout the State the weather is clear and pleasant. The recent thorough drenching of tlie agricultural ground has had a beneficial effect, and there will probably lie an abundant yield of grain next season. Thirty-four miles of submarine telegraph cable is lieing taken on shipboard to lie laid across tlie Strait of Fuca. Immense Dcstrnction or Shipping. New^Youk, Nov. 25.—The Ben Adams, from Beaufort for Mobile, was totally lost on the 23d, in Spanish Key, Ahacon. Captain Chase and wife were saved.

The citizens of Macon met to-day, in pur* suance of a call, when bis honor the tqayor, Stephen Collins, was called to "the chair," and James A. Nisbet appointed secretary. Mr. Whittle offered the following pream ble and resolutions, which, after some discus sion, were unanimously adopted: Whereat. The line of Railroad between Mayfield and Milledgeville completes tbe con nection so important to the city of Macon, uniting tlie cities of Augusta, Milledgeville, Macon, Colnmbns and Montgomery on the shortest line, and rendering this route far su perior to any in operation or that ran be pro jected. And, whereas, this short distance of thirty-three (33\ miles is completed, with the exception of some light grading and the Oconee river bridge, and cau soon lie made ready to receive the iron—the sum necessary for tbe same being iaconsiderable in amount, and within the reach of the parties interest ed. And, whereas, Macon, at the present time, is dependent upon circuitous and ex pensive routes for the transportation of its freight, the saving in which for this year's bu siness alone would have been ample to have built the Road. And, whereas, the comple tion of this Road would place Macon on the great thoroughfare of trade and travel be tween tlie cities of tbe Atlantic and the Gulf, thus increasing its bisiness and enhancing every interest. And, whereas, the city of Macon and its citizens have contributed but a small part of the rnonty already invested in this enterprise, and it is now expected of her that she bear that proportion of the same re quired by her duty and her interests; Therefore, le it Retoleed, That the citizens of Macon do hereby pledge themselves to subscribe the sum of twenty-five thousand dollars to be applied forthwith to the com pletion of this Road, upon n guarantee being given by the company of its immediate re sumption of work; and that Stephen Col lins, J. W. Fears, T. R. Bloom, G. H. Hazle- hurst, O. A. Caldwell, G. M. Logan, E. Win- ship, J. M. Boardmnn, M. S. Thompson and B. A. Wise be hereby appointed a committee to call upon the entire body of citizens to so licit tlieir subscriptions. RceoUed, further, That we do most urgent ly appeal to the President and Directors of this company to second this oir endeavor, and to use every exertion to ptsh forward the enterprise to an early completion. Mr. Whittle also offered the following res olutions in regard to city water works, which were adopted: Setoleed, That the Mayor and Council of the City are requested to take inmediate steps to ascertain the feasibility of using the water of the Ocmulgec river, or so much of the same as_ may Jie necessary, to stpply the City with suitable Water Works, fo: fire and other purposes, and especially for mmufactu- ring. Iteeohed, That if in tlieir opinion it should be necessary, they apply to the nextLegisla- ture for such amendments to the city charter, as may be requisite to effect these emls. On motion, the proceedings were ordered to bo published in the city papers. Stephen Collins, Chairman. James A. Nisbet, Secretary.
