Homestead Act.—By a special
telegram to the Savannah Astra, of
April 3d, it will be seen that the Su
preme Court of the United States, in
the case of Gunn vs. Barry, from
Georgia, N held that an Act of the Leg
islature of Georgia of 1868, increasing
the amount of homestead exemption,
was not applicable to pre-existing debts
and judgments. It will thus lie seen
that the Homestead Exemption Aet
van be legally cuforced only upon

WRECK OF THE ATLANTIC.
Wc make r. few extracts from the
pn|>crs respecting this awful calamity
New York, April 5.—Among the
passengers saved from the Atlantic
are W. Vick, of North Carolina, and
a Frenchman named Simon Camacho.
« ohadhislcjahudyfr >ztn. Tiieywe;c
in the rigging eight houisr Passengers
report tl*t from three to five hundred
jiassengers on the Atlantic must have
(prished within ten minutes after the
boat struck the second time.
“I suppose it is not necessary,” said
<oue of the crew, “to give you the min
ote particulars of how each life was
lost. Every succeeding minute recur
ring waves washed ofl one, two or three,
some times six. Then a dozen were
6wept away and went ont side by side
into the Valley of Death. There is no
language that can describe the feelings
a£ a man holding on for dear life to
bit of rigging and watching bis friends
and companions struggling, clutching,
sinking, dying. The weakest, of course,
went first One poor fellow had
managed to get himself in a position
where he was penned in by pieces of
timber which could not very well be
fleeted by the action of the waves.
“SHADING OFF THE SHADOW OF
DEATH.”
“His body was nearly entirely pro
tected. From my position in the rig
ging I could see the expression of his
countenance as from time to time lie
took his hands from his face, gazed
about as if not daring to lift his head
mid then again hid his sight In an
unlucky moment during a lull he lifted
up a portion of his body to make him
self more comfortable, when the hi
gest wave I had yet seen caught and
swept him in a moment out of sight.”
One man had just secured a flour
barrel on deck when he was washed
overboard, hut not before he had obtain
ed a hold, grasping cither end, the
bottom being out. The barrel, from
its build, would he precipated by the
sea some distance aliove the waves, and
then fnll back. One more than usnal-
Jy heavy sen sent the barrel and man
Jjf least six feet high. He had lost hi 8
hold before he came down, falling in
the trough of the sea ; hut though on
top ot a wave, which rose a little fur-
tlier on, the barrel rode buoyantly,
the man did not conic to light.
We saw very little of the women
aud children,” says another informant;
“everything happened so quick that
before even tliosc who were strongest
liad got out of the choked passageway
the females were eitlicr so bewildered
or the water had so impeded their
progress that very few came on deck.
Those that did were swept away be
fore they could fasten themselves or lie
secured by others.”
“ I saw one woman,” said he, •• in
tlie water with threo children just ns
they were washed overboard—two in
her arms (one infant) ami the other
two with its arms aliout her nock.
They went down almost instantly.”
April 7.—Divers are at work on the
wreck. ' Tlio vessel is most awkward
ly placed. Two of tliern went into
number four hatch, but found no light
on tlio upper deck. The passengers
and cargo are so mixed that bodies
cannot he got at. Two girls were
found lying in their beds in the lower
after steerage. Holes will be blown in
the ship to facilitate the recovery ofthc
bodies and cargo. Eleven bodies were
got, of which five were grappled up.
Two hundred and twenty-six have
been recovered—none of those found
recently were cabin passengers.

REPLY TO GEORGIA.
Editors Northeast Georgian:
The argument between “Georgia”
and myself has been extended to such
a length that he does not seem to be
aware of the main point that brought
about the controversy. The result
however, is as I expected, aud an in
telligent public will not fail to note the
fact that “Georgia”, does not even
know the principles necessary to unite
all sections of the world in the grand
cause of Temperance. For his benefit,
I will review tlie causes which brought
out the several articles.
First, then, he, or the advocates of
the. new movement, charged that the
“ Good Templars ” Order was a negro
organization, a “ Yankee concern,” and
having failed to destroy our organiza
tion in the State, by the circulation of
hand-bills, circulars and letters among
the different Lodges, endeavored to ex
cite public opinion against us by the
publication of these charges in the
newspapers appealing to the prejudices
of the people, and I thought it my duty
Representative to the Grand
Lodge to answer these charges so far
as the State is concerned, and to show
how silly tho argument is when it is
used to hold us responsible for the ac
tion of England, Ireland, Scotland,
Massachusetts or any other Grand
Lodge jurisdiction in the world. In
my first article I said that our State
was supreme within her own jurisdic
tion—that she bad tho sole right to
grant, suspend or revoke charters, and
therefore she was in no danger of social
equality with the negro, and she did
not wish to be sectional by even desir
ing to control other sections * iu this
matter—as it was the same mean, New
England, Yankee spirit that forced a
desolating political war upon us in de
fence of our own property, therefore we
did not wish to control any section but
our owu upon this question. The two
Georgia’s” who have been writin
have never proved that even an attempt
has been made on our State by any
other section, or any other power, to
control her on this issue. When
ever they do attempt to control us,
will volunteer my services to the State
of Georgia, but until they do, I will
follow the illustrious example of Gen
eral Lee, by remaining at my post.
But we are in uo danger whatever.
I give the leaders of our Order credit
for some good common sense. They
are aware, (aud nearly all our school
boys are aware of the same fact) that
tetnperancc is a questioir upon which
the world may be united; but they are
equally aware that to unite the world
it will not do to abride the civil or re
ligious liberty of any section or country.

Each section must be allowed to regu
late its own aflairs in its own way.—
ize upon this platform and all
yoy e^ual civiland religious lib
erty. This is the platform aTflte Good
Templars organization. To force your
own views on other sections is to be
sectional, and to say you shall recognize
our sectional platform, or you shall not
be united with us on temperance, is,
to say the very least of it, a desire to
ahriac the civil liberty of some sections.
This is the doctrine that Jefferson did
not teach, hut it is the doctrine that
rendered Yaukeedom odious to the
people of die South. This is the plat
form upon which the world cannot be
uuited, and this is my sole reason for
not believing in the success of the
United Friends of Temperafce.
You cannot say to the world this man
or that man shall not become a mem
ber of your Order in England or Mas
sachusetts because you, in Georgia, say
he shall not without abridging his civil
liberty. Your United Friends had
better go hack and start out on the
truly Republican principle, allowing
each section to take care of its own af
fairs. The want of this principle is
more apt to create dissention than its
rescnce. It is known that Americans
ave shed their blond for this princi
ple. Then why will you allow goursdf
a right you deny to others, and endanger
the success of your Order in the cause
of temperance.
Whatever political views you may
entertain let the ballot-box tell and de
cide them. This is the only true course.
To allow yourself a right you deny to
others is despotic and contrary to the
principles of our Republican govern
ment. You certainly will agree with
me that if there is a country on the
face of the earth which ought to up
hold this true principle of Government,
it is the South, which lias sulfcred so
much from the failure of others 11 aet
up to it. We must practice what wc
fireach. This Republican principle of
letting every section take care of itself
in its own way is the only passible
basis of union, and there is not an or
ganization in the world that pretends
in any way to be National hut is or
ganized on this same basis—Masons,
Odd Fellows, Good Templars, and
every other order (except the Friends
of Temperance,) which has for its ob
ject the advancement or good of man
kind.
In conclusion, Messrs. Editors, let
me say that the State of Georgia Juris
diction of Good Templars, standing
squarely on this basis of union, has
never been interfered with, and it nev
er has been proven and never will he
[ iroven that there has ever been the
east attempt at interference with her
mauncr of controlling her own affairs.
Therefore,' as other sections have never
troubled us iu any wav, we will not
adopt the New England style of tim ing
them into our views. The most sing
ular fact connected with this new
movement, is that several of the men
who pretend to he leaders in it, and
who have been engaged for three years
in perfecting its arrangements, never
saw'the importance of instituting it by
action until after the election of officers
in the Grand Lodge of Georgia, {sev
eral of the active leaders were candi
dates for jMsitioiu in our Order and
were defeated. Possibly this may ac
count for some of their animosity.
This is the last article I shall write
on this question. The further discus
sion will do no grad, and probably
harm to both organizations. We un
derstand our basis of Union, aud do
not wish to be held responsible if
’“Georgia” does not. The world is
large enough for both, if we do differ
in opinion. J. CF.
TION SALE gf Lots in the city of Port

Port lloyal is the tonnimin ot tho Port Royal
Railroad,*which connects at Augusta with the
Georgia Railroad and the whole system of Southern

“It is a first class port * by that I mean one into
which auy vessel yet built can enter.**
The New York Evening Post says :
“The last rail on the Port Royal Railroad was
laid ou March 1. This gives what the South has
never yet had, a deep water harbor on the Atlan
