VVe cannot account for its non-arrival. ova loss. Day by day do we begin to realize the irreparable loss we have sustained in the sudden “taking off” in the midst of Ins usefulness of our friend and associate, Augustus P. Burr. Nor are we alone m our'expressions of regret for a good and true man. Our MUledgeville correspond ent, under date of 31st ult., thus truthfully portrays the feeling of sorrow with which the announcement was received in the State Capitol: I, in common with the whole Press assembled here, drop a tear of sympathy and pay the tribute of a sigh to the memory of Mr. Burr, the news ot whose death reached here tbi« morning. I knew him well, and can honestly echo all that can be said of him as an able writer, a good citizens aod an honest man. Mey God temper the wind to the shorn lambs—his affectionate wife and orphaned children. I hare not time or heart to add more. G. A M. ENLABGEMENT. It has been evident to the most casual reader that our columns were becoming too crowded with advertisements to do full justice to our subscribers in the way of reading matter. With the exhaustion of the present size paper —which will bo in about a week—the Journal and Messenger will be much enlarged, both in length and width. We prefer adding on four columns to our present size, rather than printing an Advertising Supplement that is seldom read. The very liberal encouragement we are receiving will warrant this increased outlay, and it shall over be our aim to tru ly deserve it. A DEARTH OF NEWS, The failure of the mail yesterday beyond Atlanta deprives us of our exchanges be yond that point, and will account for tho lack of our'usual variety. We have received a regular re port of the proceedings of a meeting of rather an extraordinary character, held in Ainericus last week, which we are request ed to publish. The subjects concerned are of the darker order , and- the 11 lit noce ” was perfumed with the peculiar North Caroiina scent, in addition to the African —no doubt much to the disgust and dis comfort of the parties concerned. The case was also “sound on the goose.” As wo published all the material facts on Sat urday, from tho Sumter Republican, it is unnecessary to repeat the dose. What is Saleratus f —Wood is burnt to ashes, ashes are lixiviated, ley is the re sult Ley is evaporated by boiling, black salts is the r«»sidium. The salt undergoes r,j me, aim me poiasn ox com merce is obtaiued. By another process we change potash into pearlash. Now put these in sacks and place them over a dis tillery wash-tub, where the fermentation evolves carbonic acid gas, and the pearlash absorbs it and it is rendered solid ; the pro duct being heavier, whiter and drier than the pearlash. It is now saleratus. How much salts of ley and carbonic aeid a hu man body can bear and remain healthy, is a question for a saleratus eater. Some people say saleratus will not harm the stomach. It is a ley. Recently, in France, the heirs of the last Due de Montmorency brought an action against the steward for the exami nation of [his accounts. It appeared that the steward, who was never known to have any fortune, managed the Duke’s af fairs for thirty years, never showing any accounts to his employer. The latter died in 1819, [and the heirs then attempted to obtain the steward's accounts. When they succeeded, which was not until long after the Duke’s death, the steward brought a claim for 2,500,000 francs (£100,000), money which he alleged to have been borrowed by the Duke from time to time during the period of his ser vice. The heirs contested this claim, but with only a few trifling deductions the ■teward gained his cause. £3T The last of Napoleon’s famous Mameluke Guard, who were immediately attached to his person in his campaigns, and followed him from Egypt, died in France, not long ago. The cross of honor given to him by Bonaparte for a gallant feat m the Egyptian campaign, was buried " ftn turn, in the Russian campaign his right foot was frozen. The only persons at the funeral, apart from a few officials, were a few totterin veterans of the “Old Guard.” M hat a subject for Horace Veruet’s pencil!. ThcX. O. Picayune of the 14th says: “*lr. \\ atterson, of Tennessee, who has been here, by direction of the President, cooking after certain matters, leaves this evening for the North, we learn. We re gret he could not have extended his visit as far as 1 exas, where there is much to see and hear that the President would be glad to know.” Wnr.i Long street and tfo*/.—The Pica yune, «.f the 24th ult., says: “These two - BO L d:ers ,e st here last evening on i-ie steamer Kilgore, at 5 o’clock. Gen Lc«p.w g* to St. Louise privat< ; where he will be wohsomed by ! legion of friends, and Gen. Hood to Wash iogton cty for the purpose of seeing Mr' Jefferson Davie, but will tarry m . old Kentucky ’ for a short time, to visit th o home of his boyhood.” Shall Georgia Repudiate ? The following sound and incontroverti ble views on this ail-absorbing subject have been distributed among the members of the Convention for their consideration. | It will be seen that this “so-called” Con federate war debt but little more than dou bles the actual and necessary expenditures for carrying on the civil government of the State; and the whole debt now owing by Georgia, reduced to a specie standard, will not exceed three or four million of dol lars, That the good name of a great State should be bartered for this paltry sum and an unenviable notoriety, is too pieposter ous to be entertained lor one moment by any roan having one pnrtielo of State pride. But to the article: The writer is neither a capitalist nor a politi cian, and has neither money to make nor oflice to gain! He does not own a dollar in these Georgia notes or bonds—he never expects to, and has no pecuniary interest whatever in this matter. Hut to the extent of a desire —deep, ardent and unal loyed—that ho shall be the citizen of an upright, promise-keeping State, rather than the contrary, | he is deeply interested, and it is this interest alone that prompts him to the present use of his pen. In what he has to say he will endeavor to be brief, to be candid, to be fair. His figures are such as all can officially verify, and his other considers* lions of a nature, it is'hoped, that may merit the attention, if they be not foitunate enough to win the approval of those whom he addresses. Should he present useful information in a convenient form, he will feel that his labor has not been cn-. tirely in vain. And should, by anything he ttUy be able to say, even one undecided delegate be brought to stand square up in the stirrups and de clare that, so far as he goes, Georgia shall not re pudiate, the writer will feci that he has, at least, done something to help a good cause along. But to the matter in hand. It is declared byi the Comptroller General in his late report that the entire debt of the State, at this date, is $20,811,- 525.85. By the same report, (p. M,) it appears that $3,646,250 of this amount was contracted previous to the late civil war, thus leaving the ae tual debt of the State, since the inception of that struggle, $17,160,275 85, not $18,136,775, as, by some oversight, stated by the Provisional Gover nor in his message. Now this is what b popularly called “The Georgia War Debt,” and is the debt referred o by the Provisional Governor as “of no legal or moral obligation because it was created to aid in the prosccutiou ol a war of rebellion against the United States.” Passing by, for the present, this churactcriza- j lion, it is first proposed to speak of certain misap prehensions arising from the words “The Georgia War Debt.” To very many this nomenclature conveys the idea that the whole $17,166,275.85, above referred to, was contracted for war pur poses. This is very clearly, as will be shown, not the case, nor is the debt—in its entirety—a war debt in any other sense than that it was contract ed duriug a time of war. Fully two seveulhs of it was contracted to meet governmental expenses that would have had to Lave been met though the four years last past had been years of the pro foundest peace. Governors, legislators and judges must be paid, the insane and the blind must be cared for, the cadet must be trained, the child in structed, the criminal fed and clothed and guard ed alike, whether Peace unfold her wings or War unsheathe her sword. The State must be kept up, and if debt be contracted to do it, that debt, though contracted amid bombshells and bullets, is a peace debt, both legally and morally binding. But to arguo this point would be to insult com mon sense, and the writer will proceed to some figures showing that this peace debt is very near two sevenths of tbis whole “war debt—“ so-called." And these are the figures: Total For War For Peace Expenditures. Purposes. Purposes. 1861 — $ 1,055.751.32 $ 161,557.57 $1,794,103.75 1862 7,942,617.30 5,294,812.00 2,629 8(5.89 IS63 — 7,351,841.43 5,808,589.85 1,543,251.58 1864 13,288,435.94 11,353,812.22 1.934,623.72 1465- 11,573,605.00 7,336,633.71 4,236,971.30 $42,094,251.09 $29,955,405.85 $12,103,845.75 Now, from this statement, which may be relied on as officially correct—being, in fact, obtained from the financial reports for the years named—it will be seen that the peace expenditures of Georgia duripg the late, to exact proportion borne bv the indebtedness of the State for civil purposes, to the total amount of her present post-war indebtedness, cannot be given to the dollar, by reason of the writer’s inability, from stress of time, to search each item out in the books, but a glance at the four millions of civil ex penditures in 1865, and the seventeen millions of total liabilities, will show the same ratio of two seveufhsstill, to all practical purposes, existent. Subtracting, theu, this two sevenths front sl7, 166,275 85, we have remaining $12,261,625 61, and this is that debt that, without a plain misno mer, can be called “The Georgia War Debt.” It looks large, it is true, but it is in Confederate dol lars. It is twelve millions of money, but that money is qualified by an unfortunate adjective that seldom meant anything good save when it was coupled with the words fortitude, devotion and valor. Os that whole seventeen nominal millions now owing by Georgia, three millions seven hund ed thousand was contracted in funds worth seventy five cents on the dollar ; very near five millions at thirty*three and a third ; a full five millious at five and a quarter cents only ; aud still another million at even less. Cutting down, then, these swollen, so called millions to the real value received, and now—be* fore God and. man—justly owing, this sounding sum-total shrivels to a specie liability ot fioni three to four millions. This would not break a respectable bank, aud it is certainly insufficient to self discredit a noble State. But let us look at this matter in another liglit. It is the opinion of s ime—and the opinion linds a felicitous expression in the late message—that the debt, be the Amount what it may, is of no legal or moral obligation, because it was created to aid in the prosecution of a war of rebellion against the Lnited States, first the Prophets and then the Law The moral argument to begin with. Solar as the writer is conversant, with clitics, it is no, where a cannon of that philosophy, that oris wrong justifies another. If Georgia has committed tica son, that is no reason she should refuse to pay her debts. If 1 loan a man money, which ho spends in debauch,ug innocence, is he to tell me that this is an immorality to which he cannot add the fur ther immorality of paying me buck my own? If SO, what becomes of that moral rule which for bids the evildoer to plead, f or his own benefit, his own evil deed i ’ And now for the law, upon which point the writer n , Tillt,,c Supreme Court de !'l n act !°" °* Georgia was rebellion, aud that a rebellious htate cannot contract debt, it is evident that these points arc—legally speaking eitlior Z d r de , 6 : f ° r ' ° f cours °. ,1( > declaration of whieb Ji, bl r IV.l V .- ° r c * cculivo oan settle that determine!

Certainly it is. The writer never meant to deny that. He only wanted to meet an objection, and to show that tens of thousands of Georgians, from Cherokee to tho sea board, at home or on an hundred battlefields, in every year of the war, received steady, direct, necessary, substantial ben efit from the money whose repayment they are now asked to ensure. The total expenditure of the State during the war was $42,094,251 09, and of this soldiers’ families got $9,365,685, and the Georgia Relief and Hospital Association $1,280,- 000, making in all $10,645,685, nearly one fourth I ot the whole disbursement. But still to pay this debt would oppress the peo ple. Let us see. Twenty-five cents oa the hun dred dollar-, basis 1860, Blaveß excluded, would pay the interest on the whole debt of this State, this year, support the Government, and leave something for sinking fund. For the next two years none of this debt falls due, and wheD, there after, payments become heavy the State will have <o far recuperated as to be able to meet them with comparative ease. The burthen is fitted to our backs by a Providence that never abandons the man or the people who will do what is right. Hut it will check recuperation. How? By giv- ing the sick man a fair start into convalescence? But. putting Georgia before the world, wet as she may be with tears and crimson with the blood ol her dearest, at least not ignobly smuttered with broken promises? But it will impair credit. Lucas a non luccndo. it impairs credit, it seems, to err, if you err at all, on the side of paying a debt—to have a chival rous sense of promises that will not permit you to evade a fulfillment the law cannot enforce. If for Georgia to say that, come what may, she had this money and she means to pay it, be to impair her credit, it is evident, is not a thing at all to be desired. Hut all humau nature rises up against ‘his doctrine. Credit is the lovely first boru of the uptight and dwellcth not in the house of the pro mise-breaker. Let Georgia say that she will pay this debt and her people can borrow capital to-mor row by the million throughout the North. Let her say she will not do it, and iter business meu will be told just as the Alabama merchants have been told—your State has repudiated and we can’t draw the line between its reliability and your own. Show a disposition to pay 'and every stroDg box will fly open. Deny obligation and security ten deep can hardly get a dollar. Mouey has no polities and capitalists seldom ad vance ou their feelings. To pay a debt under strong adverse temptations is something Wall street cau appreciate, but no party consideration could withhold its derision ol a solvency based on expungement of obligation—scccssiou or other wise. | Hut to pay will deter capital from seeking in vestments. Why ? Because the taxes will be necessarily high. Now not a single position taken in reference 10 the argument immediately prior but applies with equal ionue here. Where would the immigrant be apter to go, docs any one sup pose—to North Carolina or Alabama where, now that the.thing is started, he might be repudiated out of his house ere well settled in it, or to South Carolina or Georgia where the taxes might be a little higher but the State promise was inviolable? Deter capital, indeed. Why, w here in all the world are taxes higher and interest lower than iu England, and yet what people have more foreign capital invest ed iu their securities, and can negotiate, at pleasure, a larger toreigu loan? The truth is, England’s financial good faith is the root of England’s prosperity. She never dishonors a money promise and she never lucks a loan. Planting the same seed, Georgia can reap the same golden fruit. And now one point more. The expression, scaling Uit deU is often heard. It bus been even employed in the presentation of these views. By some it is sup | posed to mean some sort of repudiation. It is nothing lof the sort. It is simply what its etymology imports —a weighing of a largely fictitious debt in the balance, ft the State of Georgia gave me an obligation acknow ledging the receipt and promising the repayment ol one thousand dollars, and she really received one thou sard paper dollars, worth one hundred dollars in gold, it is evident one hundred in gold is all 1 loaned and all she borrowed—all I ought to ask and all she ought to pay. This is scaling the debt —putting it in the uner ring scales of Justice to fiud out what it really comes to. And now to recapitulate. The writer has endeavor ed to show: Ist. That the entire indebtedness of the State—con tracted during the war—is $17,166,275 85, aud not $18,135,795, a reduction at once of very near a million from the popular estimate. 2d. That even of this amount, $4,236,971 SO were contracted lor purely civil purposes, thus further re ducing the war debt proper to $12,929,304 55. 3d. That this indebtedness was contracted in a high ly inflated currency, and that really, while nominally twelve it is only front three to four millions, when sealed down to the actual specie value received and now owing. 4th. That though the necessity arose by reason ot war, yet the people ot Georgia—the poor, the sick, the exile, the wounded, the dying—received the substan tial benefit of a very large proportion of this debt. sth. That a tax of twenty-five cents on the hundred expenses beside7and that in 1868, wl en the payments begin again, ability to pay will keep pace, pars jmssu, with demand. 6th. 'I Lat faithful, conscientious fulfillment of prom ises, strengthens, not impairs, credit; promotes, not checks, recuperation ; invites, not discourages, immi gration; and superinduces, iustead of deterring, influx of foreign capital. And with this the writer closes the few considera tions he has ventured to present to the Convention. Minor points might have been touched on, but the object has only been to group, as clearly as might be, the salient considerations in lavor of a fair payment ot an honest debt. Feelings, too, might have been, ap pealed to, but the writer has ever loved fact better than limey—principle more than sentiment. And yet, studiously as he has sought to eschew emotion, he has at times, when writing, almost fancied be could hear Georgia pleading for her honor—that this, at least, might be left her, though all else were taken away.— Pointing to a bosom, already too deeply gashed by the reeking sword ot war, she has seemed, with tears and piteous imputations, to entreat that she be not further stabbed with the filthy poignard of disgrace. Bidding her children remember that the sun will yet shine up on her path, she asks this thing only—that she may walk in that daylight, when it comes in its splendor, as one who has nothing whereof to be ashamed. And upon you, gentlemen of the Convention, it de volves that sue be not disappointed. The honor, the good name, the business credit of the State, are in) our bands. Be wise, be just, be moderate, and they are sale. Being safe, and through your means, Georgia will bless you, and, consoled by that one thought in all her troubles, will cry, ball smiling through her tears, “ My children are as honest as they ate brave.” The Mexican Loan. —The N. Y. Herald has an interesting statement relating to the new Mexican loan, for §30,000,000, which was placed on the raarkot on the 21st, anti also a representation of the bonds of the denomination of §SOO. Already, the de mand for these bonds is very great, and ap plications arc pouring in from banks and individuals. Foreign papers say that Duke Tor louia was dying near Itoinc at the last ac counts. Will his servant be sent out to collect a scudo of every guest invited to the funeral, as he has been so many years to levy for that amount ou the foreigners, who were invited to tho Ducal banker’s parties ‘t B&. The household effects of the late Mrs. Surratt, were sold at auction in Wash ington on the 27th. - lour gentlemen from Northern Ohio are on a visit to Florida, as a delegation from a large community of German farmers, to examiue the character of the climate and soil, the price of lands and the temper and disposition of the inhab itants towards foreign emigrants. 03T Geu. Webster, Chief of Staff to General Shcrmau, has bought an interest in the Cahawba Iron Works, at Irondale, Jefferson county, Ala bama, and intends settling there permanently with his family. sag" A cod fish weighiug 14 stones, (21 pouuds) having in its stomach a pair of spectacles with brass frames, was caught about three miles from Flambro’ Head, by William Wareup, fisherman of that place. 52gT On the 29th nit., a lad fell down tho shaft of the Galmpton Iron Mine, in Devon, a distance of more than sixty feet, and escaped with one or two alight injuries. The New York Herald says the present whereabouts of Samuel Cooper, senior General in the rebel service, remains a mystery. He parted company with Jeff. Davia at Augusta, previous to the capture of the latter, and has not since been heard from. How Things Work. —An insipionfc insur rection has been recently quelled in Barnwell District, as we have been advised by a recent visitor from that quarter. The negroes had arms, and bad banded themselves lor the purpose of destroying the whites. They gad become possessed of the idea that, with the destruction of the whites, they would become possessors of the land. They way laid the crossings, and their plan was to beat down the travelers with cudgels, then drag them into the woods and murder them. One or more of the whites have been mur dered. McCue, a firmer near Barnwell, was one of the violins. They had also burned some barns, with all the gathered crop of the season. They were dissatisfied with their allotment of share, and proceeded to improve it by destroying the whole. Tho plot has been discovered, and the scheme is, for the present, scotched. But what will happen, when the crop is generally to be shared out, is a problem of great difficulty. It will be well if a strong guard of soldiers shall be present at the plantations, severally, whenever the distribution of the harvest shall take place. We learn, also, that things are looking very squally above George town. One gentleman assures us that the negroes in that quarter are almost in a state of revolt. —Charleston News, 'loth ult.
