G*a*ral Lee’s Reconstruction Letter
Pustox. Ga., Nor. 22nd, 1880.
Eorroa Ixdetesdext: Will you do
thoee of us who favored reconstruction
in 1,867-8 the favor to publish in your
paper the encloaed letter from General
Robert E. Lee, tbe leader of the South
ern armies, during onr late war. Tne
letter was read by Governor Brown dur
ing liis address "to the Legislature the
evening previous to his election to tbe
United States Senate, and the original
is mow in his possession. It shows that
those who favored a reconstsnction of
the government, and a kind submission
to tbe inevitable weie in sympathy with
our great leader. And tbe election of
Brown to the Senate shows that though
prejudice may for awJHe be all {lower
ful; truth and right principles in th<
end will prevail.
Respectfully, D. B. Hakeem..
Lkxixctox, Va., April 3,1867.
Mr Dear Major: 1 have read with
attention the subject demanded the
cle inclosed in your letter of the 23rd
ultimo. I think there can be uo doubt
in the minds of those who reflect, that
conventions mast be held in tbe South
ern State under the Sherman bill, that
the people are placed in a position
where no choice in the matter is left
them, and that it is the duty of all who
may be entitled to vote, to attend the
polls and endeavor to elect the best
represent them, and to
available
act for the interest of their States. The
division of the people into parties is
greatly to be reprehended and ought to
be avoided by the willingness
part of every one to yield minor points
in order to secure these which are essen
tial to tbe general welfare. Wisdom
also dictates that the decision of the
conventions should be cheerfully snb-
celled: Mays, of Richmon,
. Hunt and Bee-e.

Tbe Senate met at three o’clock.
Mr. McDaniel, as chairman of tbe
judiciary committee, reported that a
factories aggregate about 2,500 looms
and 10.000 spindles; they consume
about 50,000 bales 0f cotton ananally,
manufacture about 50,000.000 yards of
cloth, and employ about 2,500 opera,
tirea. Tbe capital stock of nearly all
these factories is at a high praraiem. ia
Mai-aaaaal and quarterly dividends.
Theae factories are constantly increas
ing in their capacity, aad m
companies are now forming. The effect
of these eaterpriaea is to stimulate all
prieeg
of all local eocazities aad real e^
has been unable to consider them.
On motion of Mr. Fcuche a message
was sent to the House requesting the
return of the appropriation bill to the
Senate.
The consideration of the Honse
lotion to appoint a joint committee to
look into the constitutionality of repeal
ing the convict lease system* was poet
poned till the second Wednesday in
Jaly. 1881, by a rote of 22 to 18.
On motioa of Mr. Goetry. the Senate
Mr. Priced from tbe committee to
notify the Governor that the General
honse, with tbe names of their intro
ducer, and that he be also required to
fnrnish each member with said list by
mail.
Mr. Barrow stated that be offered
this resolution for Mr. Bassenger, of
Chatham, who is absent on account of
sickness.
Tbe resolution was agreed to.
Mr. Patterson, of Fulton, chairman
of tbe committee of conference on tbe
part of tbe boose on tbe disagv
of the bouse and senate on the amend
ment of tbe senate to the appropriation
bill relative to tbe salary of tbe superin
tendent of public works reported.
On motion of Mr. Hillyer tbe report
of tbe committee which fixe* tbe salary
of said officer at $800
A resolution by Mr. Garrard, of
Mnscogee. that tbe governor famish a
list of all maimed confederate soldiers
ani their coaaties who hare been bene
fit ted by tbe act to furnish artificial
limbs. Agreed te by a vote of 07 to 8.
The whole cotton region, with but

Memphis, and in many parts of
Texas was reported Totting in the field
from too mnch rain and lack of sun
shine. It is clear that a very large
portion of tbe cotton grown has already
been lost from this cause, and very lit
tle that is now exposed can be placed
in tbe maket in a merchantable condi
tion. Tbe picking seas>«, as a whole,
has been the worst in our memory,
and estimates founded on acreage and
comparison with last year, are of no
value. The outturn so far from reach

some, will be considerable .bovt of last
year. Instead of being about 290.000
