The Convention for the State of Georgia, will, doubtless, be soon con vened. From an examination of the list of delegates, which we publish in this paper, it will be seen that there are thirty-three colored and one hundred and thirty-three white delegates fleeted to the convention. We have some rea son to hope, from the names of gentle men whom we recogniz j in the list, and who wield a great influence in legisla tive bodies, that the deliberation of the Convention will be tempered by mod eration and reason. If the Constitu tion, to be adopted for Georgia, is not too eggregeously obnoxious to our people, we doubt not its ratification by the people. But an enlightened judg ment would dictate that an expression of opinion should be withheld until the work is done. If at all acceptable let the people ratify it, but if too oppress ive and burdensome, then let the peo ple—the voters —of Georgia, set too their solemn protest, but not go before unto condemnation. What we want most is the restoration of Georgia to her w onted place in the galaxy of States, upon an honorable and equita ble basis. Not a Union cemented by bayonets, but of hearts and hands.— The South can promise herself nothing until this restoration and union is ef fected. She is now suffering in all her interests, both public and private, on account of her disintegration. Once again restored in the Union upon, at least, respectable terms, peace and prosperity will again flow to her bor ders, which will oil the wheels of progression and stimulate the energies of the people. When the Convention convenes, we hope that reason will rule the hour—not passion, prejudice, nor spirit of revenge. Let us be patient and hopeful, determined to do what is right, nothing more, nothing less. Let us avoid extreme men and measures, and act in reference to the future wel fare of our country, people, and gov ern me lit Let crimination rpm.in.i illation cease, and if the teims dictated be sticii as we can accept, let us accept them, it too intolerably obnoxious, reject them and submit to the conse quences. Tlie Alabama Convention, This Convention is now in session, at Montgomery, and we have been pretty closely investigating its pro ceedings, in order to form an idea ol what the Conventions succeeding it will be likely to adopt. The Convention in our State, for instance, supposing that all the unrepresented States will be apt to incorporate similar peovisions and ordinances in the Constitution to be drafted by said Conventions for their respective States, Most of what has been done, however, up to the present, has been submitted to committees.— Among the measures is one to revoke all contracts based upon Confederate money, especially in reference to guar dians, trustees, Administrators, Execu tors, &c., who invested funds in con federate securities, and give minors and orphans possession of real and per sonal estate sold under an order of tiie Confederate Government, This was submitted to the committee. An ordinance to declare the State Government of Alabama null and void after an expiration of thirty days, and the offices to be filled by appointment and election, by those who can take the test oath. ‘■By Mr. Ilaygley, AYhereas, since tilt JOtli day of January, 1801, no legal government lias existed in Alabama; and whereas, such illegal or pretended government as now exist therein is ad ministered by men who have been ele vated to power and authority on account of servitude rendered in behalf of trea son end rebellion; and whereas, said pretended government does not ade quately protect loyal men in there rights ot iite, liberty end property. Therefore, liesolvcd, That this Con. venUon should proceed to organize a Provisional Government for the State, and to tins end all important offices in the State should be declared vacant within thirty days after the first day of Dec.. ISG7. Also, that a Provisional Governor should be appointed by this Convention, whose first duty should be to till by appointment all offices thus vacated, with competent men who can take and subscribe the oath prescribed by Congress. Also, that during the exisunce of said Provisional Govern ment, and after the various offices are filled as provided by the preceeding resolution, all vacancies occurring in slid offices shall be filled by election. Provided, however, that no person shall be eligible to fill any office whatever under said Provisonal Government who cannot lake and subscribe the aforesaid oath. It was moved and feeoned that the resolution be laid on the table. The ayes and nays were called, and resul ted, 25 ayes, 47 nays. The resolution was thereupon referred to the appro priate committee.” An ordinance was submitted to the appropriate committee to derlare who shall vote on the ratification of the Con stitution to be drafted, when again sub mitted to the people. The committee made two reports, a majority and a minority report, as follows : “The majority report disfranchises all who refused to vote for or against Constitution, when submitted to llie people, and is otherwise proscriptive, These reports were made the special order for Wednesday. That laborers have a lien upon the crops and all personal property of their employers for wages due; that said lein shall have precedence of all others, ex cept for rent and supplies. Referred to committee. Mr. Gregory, a resolution that the Committee on Preambles and bill of rights be requested to incorporate in their report a special ordinaucc abol ishing and removing all laws, regula tions or customs, heretofore or at pres ent in existence, wherein distinctions are made on account of color, race or caste, or formes condition of servitude, with such penalties as the committee may deem just and proper. Referred to committee as asked, Mr, Carrawav, (colored) a resolution that provisions be made by appropriate committee for the protection of colored orphans. Referred. Mr. Carraway, (colored) offered a resolution, which was adopted, requir ing the Sergeant-at-Arms, and Door, keeper to make suitable arrangements for the accommodation of ladies, who wish to visit the convention, Adopted. By Mr. Graves, an ordinance, to-wit: Be it ordained tfee., That such real property as may be selected by the head of the family, to include the home stead, it desired by the head of the family, be, and is hereby exempt from levy and sale for debt, except for taxes on the same. Provided, That such homestead shall not exceed eighty acres, and ill value not above fifteen hundred dollars; Re ferred to Judiciary Committee. Mr. Garrison, a resolution that the Committee on Finance and Taxation be requred to report that no citizen shall be required to pay poll tax. and that lhe revenue of the State shall be raised off of the property of the State according to value, Relered to Com mittee on Finance and Taxation, as asked.” These are only a few of the meas ures proposed by the Convention, which we give, in order to enable our readers to form some conception of the work of a convention, llow these measures may terminate —which amen ded, revised and adopted, will ohly be revealed by time, The following circular lias been sent the Severn 1 Department .C , -,■*tis«i n uo of the Freedmen’s Bureau ; War Department, "j Bureau Refugees, Frf.edmen, ( And Abandoned Lands, j AV ashington, INov. 5. 18G7. 1 Sir : As there is stiil quite an amount of abandoned properly on ycur returns, and much of it occupied by the former owners, who abandoned it according to the definition of the law, and who through contempt of the Government of the United States and the President’s authority, decline to make any appli cation, under the orders approved by him, for its restoration, you are hereby directed to give notice to all such persons, through your officers and agents, that their property, coming un der the above head of abandoned lands held by the Government, and now on your returns, will be taken formal possession of on the first of January next, and lented to refugees and freed men in accordance with the provisions of the law. In case they make appli cation in accordance with the law, formal restoration will be immediately made and reported to this o'ffice. Very truly yours, U. S. Grant, Secretary of War ad interim. General Howard has departed south ward on a tour of inspection. Every family in the United States now pays, upon an average, two hun dred dollars taxes a year, directly or indirectly. Henry A. Wise calls the so-called State oi NVest Virginia ■‘•‘the bastard chilti of a political rape.” A laborer in an ice lior.se down East, was killed by a large Inmp of ice fail ing on his head. Verdict of thejury— “Died of hard drink.” “Nothing can be done well that is done in a hurry” oracularly declared a certain protnpnus politician in New York one dav lately on the steps of the City Ilall. “How about catching fleas?” asked a wag at his elbow. The politician was floored. It is rumored in Copenhagen that the United States have bought the Danish NVest India Islands for §14,090,000 in gold. Schofield has issued order con vening the Virginia State Convention December 3d. Direct trade between Europe and the South is springing up.

C., as we learn from the Greenville Enterprise, have been cutting up high shines a lew miles from Pendleton—shooting one young man at a debating societ y. and entering and robbing all the houses in the neighbor hood. A drunken white man had said something offensive to them at a meet ing of the ‘-League,” where several hundreds were in attendance. —A party of negroes near Columbia. S. C., took up a portion of railroad track a few nights ago, and robbed the train when it arrived. —Tlie Madison News states that a party of negroes who had been disin terring the Federal soldiers near that place, met a citizen returning to town, whose wagon got entangled with theirs, and beat him verv severely! llow long are these outrages to go unpun ished ? —The result of the late election in Alabama, 163,119 registered voters, after the revision had been made. Os this number 92,277 votes were cast — all of them, except 5,215, for a Conven tion.

Cotting, formerly State Geologist, died recently at Milledge viile, in the 84th year of his age. —The cotton manufacturers are be ginning to complain of tlie tax on cotton. They allege it destroys the trade, and added to the tax on tlie pro duct of their mills think it will force them out of the trade entirely, giving the whole field exclusively to British manufacturers. —A coin of Pi.ilip ofMacedon is on exhibition in Washington. It is about tlie size of a half eagle, and is twentv two hundred years old. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, tenders this advice to the public : “Never buy goods of those who don’t advertise. They sell so little that they have to sell dear.” Several of our exchanges, says the Quitman Banner, are urging the reduc tion of fare on the Georgia Railroads. This is right, and we believe the in come derived from passengers would be doubled next year if the rate of fare was reduced one half. The Macon Telegraph says that the coUo.il crop is one-fourth larger than -W>«rr*!llTtcd . A modern Amazon, on her way to a convention, asked for a seat in a crowded car. An old gentleman with keen eyes inquired, “Be you one of the woman righters?” “I be !” answered the undaunted heroine. “Do you be lieve that a woman lias the same right as a man?” “I do!” (emphatically. “NVeil, then, stand and enjoy ’em like a man !” Hon. Jesse D. Bright announces that the Kentucky Legislature will consider the propriety of passing a law making it a penal offence for any one to at tempt to collect a Federal tax within the limits of that State, until she is ad mitted to a representation on the floor of Congress.
