Prevalence of Crime. The most atrocious crime* nre be r miog mat-re rs constant oocuronce, not in what the Radicals would term, t he ferocious regions of the South, where so many in their self es'-eem, supposed society had a1 nt «h*u4ed moral tune on account of the plague-spot of slavery, but in tho intelligent, the cul tivated North, In the North, the North of common schools, and the press cn it* eternal wiugs of light, where the j als of (ho church brills arc perpetually breaking the silence with their sacred notes—in this land of mat rial acd moral progress, where in our sclf-admi ration, we are apt to imagine that soci ety has attained its highest and most luminous condition, we find ourselves startled by the oons'aat occurrence* of •crimes that we Would not expect to find <«t of tho iuiegioary incidents of dra matic tragedies. It was but tbe ether day, cn# lady a tabbed another to the Lcart for no (revocation ; then a lever eloping wi'b his lady love, on beiog intercepted by h'-r father, &tra : ghtway kills him, aud rides iff witb the daughter. This ia a echoeking state of things V, T hy is it ? There must be something ncriousiy at fault in our moral msdrin ry. Thcso dreadful crimes of such constant occurrence indicate a diseased condition in tbe moral being of our soci- ety. Have we iu our sectional agita tion, forgotten to take care of our own moral training? Mr. Burke said that civil wars destroy tbe public morality, that as they accustom us to bate our brothers, they upset and unhinge cur moral nature. A striking illustration of the truth of Mr. Burke’s sei timeut is found in tbe spirit of intense disgust with wLioh the teachings of tho Rev. H. Ward Beecher were received, when he proposed to extend to the South tbe divine doctrines cf our Savior, “peace on earth, good will toward men.” This sublime philosophy was scouted as inapplicable to rebels, and the religion of hatred promulgated in its stead. Are not these crimes to which we have been rcfering, the natural fruit* of this new doctrine of hatred preached by our latter-day political saints? Let all good people make hatteto escape from tbe malign iuCuetcts of these doctrines of ha red ; let us go back ae soon as pos sible to the c bio principles of charity and brotherly lave, which arc the Luu- datknt upon which all jublic virtue mast rest. Instead of fanning the flames of discord and Laired, le*. us bor row »s much as we tan from the divin er virtues of charity and forgiveness. I At any rate, Jet ua not shut our eyes to our own rocial evils, but let us take them in hand, even if by to doing we should have to give leta attention to the evils that trouble us in distant .States. In the spirit of the famous re mark'of John llandolph, "The heathen are at our door, let us attend to them lirgt. —Nat Intel. The I,«>gis!aiure. This body convened on Thuraday of last w eek, and so for as we are en abled to judge Iremi the proceedings, and the opinions of letter writer* from the Capitol, the members appreciate the mighty’ questions, which tiro to be considered by them. We cannot say tbire is much brilliancy in the present Legislature, but we believe it contains good, sober sense and conservatism, with proper views of what is becoming our dignity ns a people. The three principal question* that will probably come before the Legisla- 1 tu r c am: the proposed constitutional , amendment of the lost Oongress-the j Relief which is clamored for by a largo j number of the people—and the amend- j mentor abolition of tho County Court system it is mid that on tho first there can hardly be said to exist two opinion*. The Senate will, no doubt, cast a unanimous vote against it, and it ia to bo hoped, for the reputa tion of the good old commonwealth, that the House will follow it* exam ple ; but there are said to be two or three' hog backs,” as they are termed, from counties too close to BrownlowV purt of Tennessee for them not to tmvo caught more or less of the tory conta gion, and sho, it is f-ared, will vote for the amendment. As it can aocom plieh no good purpose, and can on’y put a stain on the fair escutcheon of Georgia, wo trust, if they have any such intention, they will consider and abandon it. The amendment was referred in each House on the sth, with instruc tion* to report as soon ns practicable lion. A H Stephen* opposes it, and think* the Legislature should net im mediately on the subject and settle the question, so fur a* Georgia is concern ed Its rejection is deemed certain. Upon tho relief question, says the editor rs the Telegraph—who has spent some time in ascertaining the sentiment of the members—notwith standing much mu been said in public meetings in certain sections, and in the newspapers, we are convinced that repudiation has but few friend* in the T.egis’nture who would bring that re proach, with all its attendant commer cial evils upon the State,even had they the power to do it, which they have not. There are some sections of the State, however, eejisoially that large belt that vvn* desolated by the Feder al nrrny and j.arnlyzed the present year by disastrous season* and other causes, which deserve at least a tem pornry relief; and thin the Legislature is w illing to afford to any extent con sistent with Us j Kiev era and a due re gnrd for the public weal. Who* ad ditional measures may be matured for staying tbe collection of debts, we know not, as up to thi* time nothing ha* been perfected ; but we are con vinccd the body will act safely; as well a liberally, in the premises. We shall have something to nay cn this much abused subject nt another time, w hen we shall give our views of tho real condition of things, and the action de manded by a wise regard lor the pub lic interests and character. Uponthe subject of the County Court, there is quite a variety of opin ions. We think however, that all will settle down upon a cempromisa in which the Court will be sustained and eueh amendments made to the law ns will expedite the administration of jus tice and subject the people to the east possible inconvenience Tbe to tal abolition of the Inferior Com ts, and the delegation of its powers to toe Couutv Courts, bus many advocates, and, ujHan the whole, we believe it would be a good step should they be able to euact their views inti the form of law.

Since our last adjournment, little progress has been made cither in the , reconstruction of s dismembered Gov- ; eminent. «r iu iuc restoration of mate- ■ rial prosperity to that portion of the , couutry desolated by recent civil war. However produced, the fact ia indisru table, that the Government of the Uni ted States this day stands before the civilix and world in the lamentable con dition of dietneml.eniient. Four of the thirteen States that originally took part 1 in the formation of the Union, and rix . that have been added ia the progress of a marvelous develop ment, are now totally excluded from nartieipation iu ! its 1 gislutive and administrative func ti n*. It ii true that the now excluded Sta'es ditl voluntarily abandon such participation,by what was designed as a peaceful aud permanaut Hi hdrawa!; ; but the right so to do was denied to them, and upon the question sf right the war ensued. The party denying thb eai-ter.ee of the right, maintained j that ti.?. Union was indissoluble by such means, that it otill existed in full force and nothing more w»b necessary than the suppressiou of irregular resistance to its authority. That resistance hav iug been suppressed, after a struggle of live years’continuance—'.he roe Wan ■ having grounded their arms—submit ted in word and act to the authorities of the United States—rescinded all con | bti uriona, iirdiuaoco.-, laws and resolu • ' lions asserting indi poendooce of or untsg | on inn to lh*t. Government —dec’s of its j Constitut on t icir ufreinr l»w a.d loc I ted Senat rs and l{eprc**>iJtutiveß to the Federal Congress—the logical c inclu sion from the promises of the victors is, and the practical result should be, float ! the attempt has failed nod that the 1 n- I ion stir ds unshaken. All that the re | sigtauts uiay have done toward* ilbtnctn- . bermoot. they have undone, Tho fern i porary breach they made, they have [repaired. Why, vro they iwl in the . Union a* 1 iruurly ? Toe answer i*, ' that the dominant States, through «be ir ! representatives in Congress, positively i rctusj their admission to the national coned, and tho conclu-ion is inevitable, 1 that from this refusal tho present dis memberment result- 1 . Reasoning upon their own theory, if the Southern Sta es be not now within the pale of tbe Uo- j ion, they have been ejeoted by this Con- j gieis. [f they be, their constitutional! right of representation is denied them by the same authority. Tne President of tlit United Slat’s, second to none in devotion to the 11 u i ion, though placed during the war, by the imonsity of that feeling, in opposi lion to his native seo'iin, consistently illustrates it iu restored peace. lie <i;« inc'ly affirms the right of the South ern Stall* to representation in Cony rets, und, for bis adhereti'C to jrinc'ble, has been abandoned and denounced by those vrbo placed him in power. The L“gis lativc and Executive L> pirtraer.t of the Government are thus brought into con tlot, seemingly irreconcilable and daily inertias ng in hitierniHi. •*** * * * ! INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS. Tho faiiuro in agricultural pursuit? during the year 18(i(5, renriii n g in part from tho indisposition >o s’cadv labor of tie freedmer., but. chi: fly from un proj itious seasons, has and mbtless exer cised a depres ing influence upon the energies of iur people. It is re be hop ed that tl ey will speedily rally, and rise above despondency. It should be assumed that neither of these causes will prove continuous. It rarely happens, iu the dealings of I’rovidence, that sen— ions, decidedly unfavorable to tbe cul tivation of the soil, omo oons'cutivcly in the same locaii y. The n°xt may reward the husbandman will abundant harvests. Norshonld the people of the South yield readily to di-oouragement in re gard io tlie labor of the n s ro in his new statu*. All r< fleeting minds can not fail to piorecive, that the fi st effect ol manumi sion oiu.-t be unfavorable to his well-doing and to his well-being. Unsecus'orocd to enreinp for himself, he is prone to believe that the freedom with which he has bc»n inveftui in volves freedom from labor, which was io his eyes, the distinctive trait in the condition of slavery. It is not to be ex pected that he would, at once, reason c.ureetly as to his sarronndirgs, ir and p‘ promptly the rasoning if tbe late proprietary race. Experience alone can leaih him wisdom, and what her teachings will be is not n subject rs -peculation ; we all know what thrt will be. In addition to all this, there is abundant prtof that he has indulged most extravagant and unfounded expec tations of benefi’s to be conferred upon him by the Federal Government. He has expected from that source a flee grant of land in his own right, and has hecu indispo-cd to cultivate tbe land of others. If driven to it by pres, nt necessity, he has regarded it as a tern porary expedient, rand went to work predisposed to shirk it. Time will dis sipate these dilutions. It would be both just slid kiud to wait for and as sist his awakening from them. Many who have hurried int • courses of viee and crime, wll probably prove ir reclaimable. Tbeto must be comtnited to j ost and impirtial administration of the law, as is jiraeticed with the vicious of our race. But the great mass of people, under good influence’, may be in nit: useful to themselves und the conn try. The plantin; interests in Georgia can never again be what it. has ha* been. Few, if any, will ho able to p rosecute it on as large a scale as some have doue in the post. But agriculture must be : continued to be the chi. f industrial ' pursuits of the State. The return of prosperity will only be retarded hy in considerate bbandnnincut of itun 4 era feeling of dc.-pondcncy- So far a. the great staple for expi'rt is concerned, j many will probably be surprised at pe cuniary results, even in this disastrous year. Tho price of the article will he more than three fold that of the aver age of former years, whilst tbe product, tin weight, will ba fully one-third of that re aliz 'd in former years. Wccon n it derive the same consolation, to the full extent, regarding 1 the | r vi.-i n crop That will fid Hi >rt if the quan [ tity required to sub ist the peop'e of .the State; and whilst those combined | with the cultivation of c ilton, w ill be | abun laiitly able to supapiy tie defiein -1 ey, the poorer classes, who were never 1 accustomed to pre.duoo more than a I livelihood will he greatly s'raitcncl, 1 hit such b»s always been their experi ence und»r like circumstances, and they must he helped as heretofore, by tlio-e mire favored. Surely it will be so. : Especially should the creditor class fa vor the debtor thus unfortunately st i tinted. He who under such circum ftune’s, would coerce payment by 1 gal | com pulsion, bayoud his positive neces > Miiea would be a monster, evju in the family of Mammon. Good policy and forecast un doubtedly require diversity of pursuits. Resources, other than agricultural, j which arc abundant in Georgia, should be developed. And there are th se who have pccunury ability, without adaption to husbandry ; and others who j have brain or bone and muscle, or all j combined who have neither land nor 1 t> e means of purchasing it, to whom 1 these other fields cf ont.rpr'se arc espe cially invitirg. But agricultural is the leading and the most desirable pursuit, aud those having experience in it, or adaptability to t% combined wiih the j oseestion of laud or the means to buy it, should struggle with all possible i-oer- gy :nd persistence to overtone all ob sa 'o to Mice •*.«.

After careful enquiry I teaa >c sa‘- isfieil that corn could be most advanta geously Mipplicd to tho destitute under th • appropriation of the last s s ion by sending an agent to the Northwett, and that St. Louis was the best point for Iris operations. C-nl. Maddox was ac cordingly appointed and dspat.’hed so soon ns the neocs-uirv fun is could be obtained. Through the liberality of companies engaged in transportation by steamboat and railroad between S\ Louis and Chattan’oga, half freights only were cbargel fur bringing this corn to tho western terminus oft! o State road—which enabled me to expend in the purchase at letsf $35,000 more than rnuld otherwise have been den'*. The different railroad companies of this State, wi’h th ir accustomed publie spirit in the furtherance 1 1 good works, have June their part in the trsns pirtation with promptness and fidelity, free of charge. To avo'd delay 1 ap pointed C l. I’ct rson Tbweatt, A to receive the corn a* Ohittan ogi and to distribute it tn the enunti-s, thus earrying cn the parch .-e aud distribu tion simultaneomly.

As gertmin t> the subject already discusied, I call your attention to an other proposed amendment to the Con s'i utinn of th* United Ft a to,', trans mitted to mo by the secretary of Stn’c, and accompanying this communication. The fart that your action upon it thus invoked, imposes on you an obliga im to consider it reeprctfully. This amendment, do igned i ke all of recent origin, to oprra'e especially on the Southern States,mint.lies several sections, to soma of which I invite yiur special atten'ion. 1. The prominent fea'ure es the Grst i», that it settles and. Gni el ? tho right of citizenship in the several States, as po litical communities, thereby depriving them in the future of all discretionary power over the subject within their res pective limits, and with referenco to their Btato Governments proper. It rnakrsall persons of color, boru in tho United States, cit zcns. 2. The second changes the basis rs representation in tho popular brunch of the Congress and in I‘iesideniial Electoral College*. It provides that in appropriating represent ition among the States, all persons (except Indian* not taxed) *hull be ten n iuto the eou mention, unlesss ihe elective franchise bo denied in any State to any mule in habitants, beiug citizens of the United States and twenty-one years of ag.’, or be in any manner abridged (otherwise than as a punishment for crime,) in whicn event,, the representation tbull be prepo tionatcly reduced. Whether tho obj ct in proposing thi* change bo tho extci.s on of toe elective franchise to persons o( African descent, (nearly all of whom arolnotori. u>!y un fit for it,) or a furbar diminution of th - already relatively small weight of the Southern States in tho administration of tbe Government, the adopti )o of this amendment will certainly force upon them a choice b'tween thoso evils. |lf ihe former be the real object, the -; latter alteruativo must be regarded si.ll ply as a penalty for refusing it. In this view, it is not difficult to expose the fl igraut injustice of the proposition, i Let us consider briefly how the auiend ! meat will affect the States, wbeicin ! slavery did not exist prior to the war, ! aud how those whereiu it did existed.— !In the former class, the election of the ! one or the other alternative will bo only a matter or taste, no great interest be— | jog involved. If the franchise be cx ; tended, the number thus tjewly admtt > ted to tho ballot will bo so small that no appreciable effect upon popular (lections cinres iit. If refused, the number ex itl udel from the enumeration in fixing the ratio of representation will still be so small, that the consequent reduction j would not he seriously felt, and iu toiue in;t moos would probably ho merely I fractional, producing no curtailment at I all. N ,w, look to the other class nil Bta‘os. There the number of vot'rs 1 prepoied tn ho cr.francliised, and wholly | unnropardil for the trust would bo im-i m*n«B, and the dtstuvlmoce iu the tiro j nwrr of republican machit cry in- | csloulihle. There, too, on tlm other, 1 aud, if tbs frniichiso be withheld, the r.alueti'O of re presentation would be I vast. I? there fairness, is there justice I in a proposed change so differently us feeling different p rtions of a country, i united under a common government for j the common wtnl ? Would the ens ree- 1 nient of *u -h a eh inge by a maj >rity, it f could not harm, upon a minority il mu3! ; ruin, bespeak magnanimity ? It may tic suit! in reply, that the i i Constitution dues not, respect srctioral j j diff.jri ini—‘hat it was design© I f>r the! 1 i r deotion and advaueetuent of personal : rights. To a large ex’erit t* is is an j ; o/isgious orrer. The.

Let it bo noted, also that tho pro sr-ribed are all dwe h-rs on ono siilo of a geographical line, whilst the authors of the proscription have their local habitation on the other side. It is quite remarkable, moreover, that there is in the entire section no -av ng clause in favor of those who, in the interval between the cessation of h st lilies and tho adoption of the Amendment, rn iv have received the amnesty of the Government Pardon ed tliev may have been, but disfran chised tin v will be You ate ask and yuUr o m-ent. ‘hat such a fate be visited up >n many of uur best eiiiz'ns, who have lung enj iyed the publ c c nttder.ee, and some of whom ivw fill important public, trusts.

I ask you to consider, however, why it is that you maul led upon to vote up on its adoption, whilst your State had no v ,ioo in is prep nto i?

Tho Penitentiary ol the State has been this year passing through a trying onjeil.
