TORS. Edilort Telegraph:—Three or four weeks ago you were very anxious to make the Hon. Alexander H. Stephens our next Govem- Had you succeeded, (without at all dis pleasing Mr. Jenkins, whom I admire very much) you would ha ve done a great thing. And *0 well do I know Mr. Jenkins and his great re gard for Mr. Stephens, that, had the latter, in tune, given any one of his friends shy intima tion or observance whatever that be would accept the poet of Governor, I have but little doubt but that Mr. Jenkins would have most cheerfully retired and united with all others in malting Mr. Stephens Governor. But, as, in consideration of the condition of things, you could not make Mr. Stephana Governor, what say you to the whole legislature uniting and sending him to Washington City, as a Senator from Georgia to tbe United States Senate 1 Don't you think that if he will ac cept, and go to Washington, .he can do more good for Georgia than any other person we can send there? I think he can. He has more reputation North and South, as a na tional man or aa a stat-mnan, than any other nun in the South. Xothwitlistanding he dung to hi* awn section, from the beginning, to tbe present time of its troubles, yet be is more respected North, and more popular than any other man South. Then, who so appro priate as our representative in the national councils ? None, I think—and I trust that the ensuing legislature will unanimously elect him for the longest term. And for the short term, what say yon to the Hon. Joshua Hill, or Gov. Joseph E. Brown, or Hon. Herachel V. Johnson, or Iliram Warn er, or William Dougherty ? Either of these gentlemen would make an excellent repre sentative from Georgia, in the United States Senate, for they are all representative men, and able men. What say you about this mat ter ? Let us hear from you. One of the People.

J 31 Burkett, S GENERAL LEE’S BOOK. Virginia's great son has under way a histo ry of the "Campaigns of the Army of North ern Virginia.” He has expressly stipulated with the contracting New York firm, that af ter due delivery into their hands, it shall not be doctored, or retouched, in order to cater to Northern susceptibilities. Tbe genial Prescott dwells on the ci trate difficulty to a coteaporary, of correctly narrating any important passing event.— The historian of a succeeding generation has on the contrary all in his favor. He may be compared to a man looking over, the slioul- den of two men in the act of writing, and thus ascertaining what i-.icli one has to say. He weighs the force of arguments put for ward by both sides dispassionately. He con front* witnesses and separates the wheat from the elm IT and from the tangled mass of asser tion and denial, cast in the refining crucible of circumstantial evidence, he deduces unerr ingly the golden ore of truth. Now, as mat ters stand, only the conquering party of the late struggle appear likely tohave a chance of submitting their claims to martial glory, to the future chronicler of these times. For while the Northern press teems with narratives of Northern prowess, the Southern side of the i.re lnrnt ia altogether unrepresented. In one of ht m.-t beautiful allegories, Addison al ludes to a picture wherein the painter lias portrayed a battle between a lion and a man, in which the lion lira prostrate at the feet of Ida human adversary. A brother lion is in vited to inspect this artistic performance, and on beiag questioned as to its merits, grimly re-nuked, "We lions arc not painters.”— T .t:'.K»to<bni-r.i'i !.«*, however, the South will have an artist. After the crushing defeat at Pavia, Fran- m the I sent home a courier with a dispatch . nrtly stating—"All is lost, save our honor.” Thr sox or “Lroirr Horse Harry,” in re- countin-- tlie exploits of the army of North- ■ ra Yite-jda, may, as appropriately make the <«M remark. The time will come when the North will claim with the South an equal share off the lustre his HUM has reflected on American history. To the primitive modesty and unsullied honor of Bayard, le chevalier mm JMur ft mu reproehe, he united the ster ling good sooac of Wellington, the eagle eye iamounting to intuition! of TcreNKs. Never, not even in his Italian campaign, did the great Corsican conqueror accomplish rel atively more, with altogether insufficient means, than did the peerless Lee in Virginia. Even at the time when animosity against the South was raised to the highest pitch at the North, die serene, unassuming cast of his character, the utter want of striving after effect to conciliate the Northern people, that, to tire best of our knowledge, bis name was never mentioned abusively. His simple, un- ixtrnuuous dispatches (always underrating his performances! disarmed resentment, and caused him to be believed when the oaths oi l loud asseverations of many other men would haw >coff*d at with contempt- TbcdkLc ht of ho ur.impcarlicd character srili immeasurably enhance the value of his work, both w ith the present generation anil posterity. If exceptions are taken to any portions of it, lit good faith will never be questioned—a wilful misstatement will never V»- laid to his charge. THE CONGRESSIONAL ROLL. Among the dispatches to tlie associated press, under date of the 25th, we find the fol lowing : Mr. McPherson, clerk of the house, has sent s new roll to tlie printer. Tlie names of member- e eel from relxdlious States appear on »L If this be true—and it is telegraphed from Washington—it indicates that the clerk con templates changing the programme he an nounced so emphatically a week ago. It mav be poaoible he contemplates recognizing the Southern members, but we doubt it, unless ti» president has announced his policy to effect. lie. As onr correspondent suggests, 3Ir. Jenkins was brought forward, under the im pression that Mr. S. would accept no posi tion. On reaching home the latter learned the steps that had been taken, and lie at once de clined peremptorily. Undcr no circumstances would he enter into a scramble for any office, particularly in opposition to Judge J, Tlie warmest pergonal relations have long existed between the two gentlemen, and no citizen of the State feel* more pleasure at the elevation of Mr. Jenkins to the responsible position of governor than does 3Ir. Stephens. We arc not authorized to say that 3Ir. Stephens will accept the Senator-ship, bnt we have reason to believe he will decline no position in which he can render service. He ha* tho interest of the State too much at heart to decline a call from her people. His personal political ambition may be satisfied: he may, perhaps, greatly prefer retirement; but that lie will recognize the right of the public to make use of his practical statesman ship, in tlie present emergency, we cannot doubt. We hope, therefore, the suggestion made by “One of the People,” as above, as well as numerous other expressions from the press, and public, which have readied us within tho last few days, will be adopted by the legislature. Popular opinion in favor of se lecting Mr. STErnENs for one of the senato rial positions, appears to be unanimous. If the legislature makes a selection in accord ance with the wishes of tbe people, he will be chosen without opposition. If so, he can not refuse. He is needed at Washington. His name will give great strength to the rep resentation of the State, in congress, and throughout the whole country. He is favor ably regarded by tbe administration; and at this hour, when Georgia needs the labor and influence of her ablest sons in the coun cils of the nation, we can point to none whom we think would be able to render more effi cient service, or who is more entitled to the support of a grateful people, than Alexan der H.

Freedmen's Bureau.—The Memphis Ap peal of the 16th inst., says: "We regret to learn that Brigadier General N. A. M. Dud ley lias been relieved from doty as superin tendent of the freedmen's bureau in this dis trict, and ordered to report to Major General Thomas, commanding militniy division of Tennessee, for orders. We learn, further, that the division of the State into sub-dis tricts has been abolished, and that the busi ness of the bureau will hereafter be conduct ed by agents for each county, who will be des ignated superintendents, and report directly to Brigadier General Fisk, at Nashville. This change in the organization of the bureau, by which the superintendents of districts are all relieved of their duties, and are subject to reassignment, is made os a step toward the ul timate end, which, we understand, General Howard basin view, viz: the entire with drawal of the machinery of the bureau, so soon as State laws and local regulations are so adjusted as to render it safe and expedient to do so.” The Next Eclipse.—The next central eclipse in the United States will be that of August 7th, 1869. The eclipse will probably attract more observers to the places where it will be central than that of tlie 19th nlL, as it will be total, and the first that is so since that of November 80th, 1884, and however beautiful and interesting an annual eclipse may be, it i* attended with but little of the grandeur and sublimity which accompany that most magnificent and appalling of all phenomena, a total obscuration of the sun. Resumption 6f the Cuableston Cou rier.—The Courier, which had been burned out some time last month, has resumed its publication. The name of its original own ers, A. 8. Willington & Co., hasagain been placed at its head. Mr. Wm. Laidlcr, who has been connected with the Courier almost from childhood, and who is now the senior partner, is a gentleman ot much experience in the publication of a daily newspaper. We should be glad again to welcome it to our exchange lisL Personal—31r. Fitch, of the Griffin Star, called upon ns yesterday. He reports favor ably as to the prospects of Griffin and Spald ing county, and that tbe people are exercising great energy in adapting themselves to the n^w circumstances in which they find them selves placed. Mr. F. will call upon our busi ness houses for contributions to the advertising columns of his paper, and we take pleasure in commending him to their attention. Cotton in 3Ioxtcomery.—The Ledger of the 85 th says: Yesterday, the receipts were lighter than tlie day before. Transactions were more numerous, but principally of small lots. One took place at 28 cents in gold, equal to 42 1-2 in greenbacks. There is an evident increasing desire to buy and sell. Ha vino an Upward Tendency.—An Irish paper announces the departure for America, of a young woman, a native of the county of Meath, who is six feet four inches in height, although her age is only 17 years. She is de scribed as having a grace ami elasticity in her gait, unusual in one of her great altitude, and her friends lielieve that she will grow still taller. ' A rather complicated divorce case was up before Judge Robinson, in New York, a few days ago. It appears that in June last Levi A. Lincoln obtained a decree of divorce from his wife Abby, on the ground that at the time of her marriage with him she had another husband living. The lady now applies for a reopening of the decree, alleging that when the suit for it was instituted by 3Ir. Lincoln she allowed tlie matter to go by default in consequence of being deceived by her law yer. She said that after her first marriage she discovered that her husband had another wife, and therefore felt herself free to marry again, and contracted the matrimonial alliance alluded to with Sir. Lincoln. The Nashville Tragedy.—The four men, James Lysaught, Perry, SrcCluskey and Crafti engaged in the killing of 3Ir. Heffcman, one of the oldest and most respectable citizens of Nashville, on the 23d inst,, were on trial be fore a Court Martial on the 2Gth, they all be ing Government employees. Of one of the ; prisoners, James Lysaught, said to be a na tive of this State, the Nashville Times thus speaks: — “James Lysaught, the first prisoner put up on trial, was a youth of about 17 or 18 years of age, apparently of Irish descent, judging by his acccnL He was about 5 feet 5 inches in height, dark brown hair, dark gray eyes, and had by no means an intelligent face. He wore a gray coaL common infantry pants and a calico shirt. Upon one finger he wore a bone ring. On the whole, he was impassive when the charges and specifications were read, showing only a little emotion when the charge of the murder of 3Ir.

A man in Richmond a few days ago re ceived a letter with one thousand dollars en. closed. The writer says it was a return of property stolen during one of Stoneman’s raids. The Shreveport (Louisiana) journals come to ns filled with accounts of outrages and murders committed by the armed freedmen in that vicinity.

The situation of affairs in the neighbor hood of Matainoras is contained in the fol lowing abstract,which we take from the New Y'ork Herald of the 23d: A most interesting and admirably clear and connected statement of the condition of affairs in and around 3Iatamoras, and of the positions and movements of the opposing re publican and imperial forces during the siege of that town by the formsr in tlie latter part of last month and the beginning of the pres ent, is furnished by our Brownsville corres- pondenL The attack and repulse of the re publicans on the 25th ulL, frequently alluded to in our, columns, and represented by the imperial organs as such a magnificent success for their cause, is new plainly shown to have been a very small affair. 'General Escobedo, commanding the republican army, consisting of three to four thousand men, liac} giren di rections for a complete reconnoisance of the enemy’s position on that day, but no order for an attack. One of his officers, however, commanding a small body of Americans, not folly understanding tlie orders, directed his men-to make an assault at a particular point, which they did with the greatest success, capturing the imperial works and guns; but, not being supported, they had to withdraw. This was the sum and substance of the affair which the imperialists paraded as a great victory. The besiegers maintained their po sition arotind the city for several days after wards. During the progress of the siege, Browns ville, which is on the Texas side of the Rio Grande, directly opposite Matamoras, was filled with people from the latter place, who fled to escape the expected attack. Ameri can soldiers stood on the river bank and cheer ed the republicans opposite, and for this an imperial gunboat fired on the American side. General Weitzel has ordered an investigation of this affair. General Weitzel, at the re quest of General Escobedo, and in the inter est of humanity, sent over the river tents for the latter’s wounded, and many of them were transported to Brownsville, and received the attention of the United States army surgeons there. The imperialists professed to have discovered a heinous plot to surrender the city and assassinate General 3Iejia among the officers of a party of about four hundred Americans at 3Iatamoras in the imperial ser vice, known as Contra Guerillas. Two of these officers, formerly of the rebel army in this country, "Were court martialed and sen tenced to be shot. One of them was execu ted, but the other escaped. The Matamoras papers charge that this plot was purely Amer ican, that fifty-five thousand dollars was to have been paid to the conspirators for. its ex ecution,_ and that a portion of the money had been paid and that tho remainder was in Brownsville. As heretofore reported, tho republicans dis appeared from beiore Matamoras some days ago. A New Orleans dispatch gives as tlie reason their reception of information that the imperialists were moving from Montcreyto attack them in the rear. There are also New Orleans rumors that Bagdad, at tlie mouth of the Rio Grande, is besieged by the republi cans, and that a French naval officer has made an unsuccessful demand on General Weitzel for the surrender of tho imperial vessel cap tured by tlie republicans and taken to Browns ville. <• - Tjie Military Estimates.—The secretary of war lias completed tlie estimates necessary for his report, and will immediately prepare K -u.roai* Accommodation.—A special it for publication.

But the Richmond Whig has the information from the Freeman's Journal that in Brazil the Cabinet or 3Iinistry of the Emperor is chiefly cemposed of negros; that there is not pile bian of pure white blood in the Ministry; that the judges of the courts are oftener negros than white men, and says that if all this is true Brazil is no place for the Southern white man seeking a refuge from negro equality. We think eo too, and that thejicst thing the disgusted ex-slave- lioldcrs of the South and poor whites can do iato try-to reconcile themselves to their own country and the fortunes of war.—N. T.

He was probably the oldest person in the United States. A Cruel 3Iurder.—We deeply regret to learn the death of General William B. Wade, of Columbus, 3Iississippi, in a rencontre with some Federal soldiers stationed at that point. The difficulty, as we learn, was started in Main street, near Jones’ drug stofe. The parties were separated, General Wade going to Cady’s livery stable. He was followed up, when an interchange ot shots took place, which result ed in one of the fedcrals being shot through the neck and severely wounded. Gen. Wade received two balls and a wound from a knife in the hands of his assailants. They were again separated, and Gen. Wade gave himself up, and was conveyed to the hospital, his wounds being considered serious, if not mor tal. While lying on his cot, unable to rise, with a guard around him, he was again attacked, shot and bayonetted until death put au end to the scene. He received eleven wounds. It was a terrible tragedy. General Wade was a member of the State Legislature, a General in the Confederate army, and was as brave a spirit as ever went forth to do battle. We sincerely regret his death.—Jactson (Miss.) Clarion. Items of Interest.—From tho Washing ton letters of the New York Herald, of the 23d, we take the two following items in re gard to the South-western Road and the want of post offices in this State: “The Superintendent of the South-western Railroad running from 3Iacon, Ga., toEufaula and Butler, is in the city pressing the pay ment of its claims for transportation on gov ernment account-since "the close of the war — About thirty thousand dollars will be awarded the road, which, it is hoped, will enable the management to put the entire line in the same repair it was before secession. Within the past day or two three hundred and eighty-five petitions have arrived at the Post Office Department from various interior points in Georgia, praying for tho establish ment of post offices in those localities. “Stood vP in the Corner to3Iake3Iore Room.”—A woman who lived in a small snug cottage in a village was unfortunate enough to lose her husband, and set about preparing for tlie funeral obsequies. A neighboring Mrs. Grundy, with lier cloak and umbrella, called to sec tilings, to condole and to specu late. On coming into the house, she looked around, raised her spectacles and her hands, and said: “Why, Lor me! how nicely you arc fixed np for the funeral; well, I do declare. Lor, Suz! dear me! why, do tell. You borried 3Irs. Webster’s cheers, ain’t you ? and Mrs. Stone’s vases on the mantel piece—they look right smart, I declare; and there’s a clock, too—why, where on earth did you get that, I want to know ?” “Oh, no, my dear, (with a solemn groan,) that’s not a clock—it’s my poor dear departed husband. I stood it up in the comer to make moreroom.” Government Jail Delivery.—It is said that tlie President has ordered the discharge of such prisoners at the Old Capitol as were arrested by the detective Baker, and who have been confined there a length of time, without any charges being made against them. We are glad to record this action, and trust that the Executive will take similar action upon all the places where such' prisoners are held! It is not gratifying to the American people to know that any detective has the power to airest people and confine them at liis mere will, for even a short time, much less fora’ length of time, without making any charges against them. Nor is it consistent with our American ideas of justice that a man should be allowed to act in that way without being-held to accountability.—Philadelphia Ledger. ‘ • C3F” A mail iil Norwich was attacked by a garrotcr, and after a tussle got the garroter down and jumped on him until he became insensible. He then concluded that hfe hafl killed him, and becoming frightened ran for assistance. Returning to the . spot it was found that the supposed dead man had de camped and tlie watch lay upon the gonnd where he had dropped it in the melee. The Pest of the Api>le Trees.—Tlie remarkable Indian summer of last week de stroyed the canker worm—brought them out of their chrysalis state, and they began to as cend the trees by legions. This is good news. They can't get back, and when -the cold weather comes they will be destroyed. We may hope for a good crop of-apples- next year.—Boston Journal:- 2 J i- xai_l A Mechanical Triumph.—In CWcago re cently an immense Iron block, located on the corner of Wells and South Wntcrstreets, own ed by George R.

Some have been sold for cash at auction, and some on six months' and two years’time—the time to Southern railroads. AU will be sold before January lirsL Washington Items.—From dispatches of. the 27th wc glean the following: Robert Ilcth, who was committed to the old capitol prison, with Taylor, for appropri ating $20,000 of the specie belonging to the Confederate government, which went into tlieir hands after the capture of Richmond, were this morning released by order of the secretary of war. A. Hitchcock and C. Sfou- lan were also released and turned over to the civil authorities. The Heralds Washington special states that Hcrschcl V. Johnson, of Georgia, arrived in Washington this morning. He brings favor able accounts of the return of Union senti ment among the people. The Chronicle to day contains an article representing cx-spcakur Colfax as having endorsed the president’s policy. This is tlie construction that the friends of 3Ir. Colfax seek to put on his speech. The Font’* Washington special says: The officers of the treasury department have seized counterfeit plate, of tho 10-40 bonds, of the denomination of $500, so well execu ted that spurious notes would have been dif ficult of detection. Gen. Grant started on a Southern tour this morning. Eleven hundred dollars have been paid the widow of Lewis Washington, a rebel officer, in compensation for household property seized and sold during the war. A Wedding Trip Under Difficulties. A wedding took place on last Thursday night near St.. Cecelia academy, one mile from tho city, at the residence ot Mr. Grizzle, at which Governor Brownlow officiated as chaplain. The bride was 3Iiss Sue Grizzle, and the bridegroom Capt. Goddard, U. S. A. As the road to the scene of the nuptials runs through dangerous territory, aud after dark is about as perilous as that which runs thro’ Grotto del.Cave, or the Valley of the Shadow of Death, the governor and his companions rode out in a carriage with their revolvers in their laps, and thus accou tred, arrived safely at the spot, with no lives lost, which may be regarded as quite a feat in these - times. The carriage, in which were Captain Goddard and his friends, went ont by way of College street, no other carriages being in company. When it reached the vicinity of the Sulphur Spring, three ruffians rushed out nnd seized tlie hor ses by the bridle. The captain and his three friends immediately drew their pistols, where upon the highwaymen took to precipitate flight. The driver was exceedingly frighten ed, as his horses were restive and 'wild, and begged his party not to fire, as he could not hold his team. So the gentlemen were con strained, much to their chagrin, to put up tlieir pistols. The warlike appearance of the governor and his party ns they dismounted, armed to the teeth, a regular matrimonial, iron-clad hand, caused no little langlitcr from the assembled guests. But Hymen locked arms with grim-visaged 3Iars, the ceremony was performed pleasantly, and all ended safely.— Nashville Time» } 27tA, Jf .! ' It is said that the secretary of the treasury is considering the best means, of col lecting the taxes due from the Soimtliem States for 1861. OBITUARY. Departed thislife, in Columbus,Georgia, on tbe 3d November, after a brief but severe illness. Bums W. Evans, age d28 years and 8 months, leaving a wife and two children, an aged mother and aunt, and .one sister,"with many--.devoted friends to mourn their loss, the deceased was native of Macon, and has always resided in this city, till the time of his removal to . Columbus, three years ago. His remafns were; brought hither aud found their last, resting place in Bose Hill Cemetery. The Fire Department and Ma sonic Fraternity uniting in paying to their da ceased “worthy brother" their last rites of sepulture. In 1839 the deceased joined the Baptist church of this city, and lived tip to his Christian profes sion, in all consistency of faith and practice, up to the last hour of his earthly existence. His death was serene and happy—tho last quivering of his lips being employed in praise end prayer. In all the relations of life, he acted well his part As a citizen, ho was among the foremost in his sphere of public duty—ts a son he was dutiful, and giving honor—as a brother, kind and genial —**!»)insb»nd and father, devotedly tender and loving; and as a companion, courteous and ami able. Conscientiously just and truthful be en deared himself to all his acquaintances, and well deserved the reputalionlie bore—that of intelligent and honest man. But death makes no distincti on among his subjects. Mortality the doom of all. With our departed friend will cluster many sweet memories, while our' living sympathies will abide with the bereaved and afflicted relatives, to whom we commend the rich consolations of tho Gospel, in which the deceased trusted and believed.
