Tho corres pondence speaks for Itself, nnd It Is not neccssnry that wo should present views of our own, on this occasion, on the subject mnlter to which It refers. Tho enquiry mndo by tho Governor of tho Comptroller Gonornl in view of tho statement that hntl boon mndc, wns proper In itself, nnd the reply of the Comptroller cannot but satis fy all unprejudiced and honest men, that neither Ims ho nor tho Governor exceeded tho powers vested In them, tho ono in tho drawing of wrtrrnnts upon tho Tronsnry to pay demands against tho Stale, and tho other in auditing and passing them over to the State Treasurer for payment. Belli the law nnd precedent sustain their action in tho matter, nnd Treasurer Angler is alone qtfault, as wo have heretofore shown, iu the .hatter of controversy between him self, the Executive nnd the Comptroller, In selling up his opinions ns against tho judgment nnd authority of t ho Executive head of the State Government: [ Correspondence. ] Executive Department, ) Atlanta, Gn., July 17,1MJD.) Jim). M, Hell, Comp. General: Sill—Your attention is invited to the following extract from a published state ment made in tho interest of the Don. if. L. Angler, State Treasurer: “Wo presume tile Chief Justice does not wisli to be understood to say that the Trea surer lias no right to refuse to pay a war rant when there is no appropriation to cover said warrant, or when the warrant is drawn on an appropriation which hns been exhausted, even though tho warrant may bo approved by the Conipt roller Gen eral. No class of warrants have been refused by the Treasurer, save those drawn upon ail appropriation after the snine has been exhausted, those drawn upon the wrong fund, nnd those drawn when no appropri ation existed to cover thorn.” I desire to bo informed: 1st, Ifnnywnr- rnnt has been drawn by the Executive and approved by you “oil an appropriation which lms been exhausted?” As to those referred to “drawn upon the wrong fund,” it is of course simply matter of opinion, wherein the Honorable Treasurer places Ins own in opposition to Hon. D. A. tlie official net of tho Executive, approved liy tlie Comptroller in nccorilanco with the written opinion of tlie Attorney Gen eral. The objection of the Honorable Treasu rer to tlni warrants “drawn outlie wrong fund” is not that said warrants do not represent a lawful claim against the Stale, but that in bis opinion, what tlie Execu tive, the Attorney General, and yourself, unite in deciding to lie the light fund, is the “wrong fund.” Also, please inform me: 2d, If any war rant hns been drawn by tlie Executive and approved by you “when there is no appro priation to cover said warrant?” Very respectfully, It. B. Bullock,.Governor. lion nnd supervision, upon reasonable rates, to ho paid for out of tho Contingent Fund.’’ I linvo not considered tho adver tisement of a Proclniuntlon ns nt all com ing within tho meaning or Intention of this section, because tho word “printing” Is used, nuil has to my mind a distinct technical meaning, different from tho word “advertising” or” l publlshlng.” It clear ly moans such Job work ns It may bo neces sary to lmvo dunu, outsldo of that which tho law requires tho Public Printer to do, and not tho publication of nn Order or Proclamation. In thoporforinnnco of the latter scrvlco, It is not tho more skill nnd lnbor of setting up tho typo nnd striking off tho shoots that constitute the gist and value of the service. . It Is tho spaco in tho nowspnper, nnd tho circulation nnd pub licity thereby given to the notice. The mere printing oftho nollco Is not wlmt wur intended, nor what is charged for in such cases, hut It is tho publication nnd circulation of tho nollco among tho peo ple. Thoknowlcdgc nnd information thus promulgated nnd imparted to tho public constitute tho consideration for which tho warrant in such cases is issued Such a warrant, therefore, in my judgment, is not for that species of printing referred to in section 1043 ofthoCodo.nndhonconmy properly bo drawn on tho Printing Fund. In other words, tho law, in my judgment,' does not restrict the payment of claims for advertising, &c., to tho Contingent Fond, nnd in this view I nm amply sus tained by the practice of the Governors and Comptroller Generals of tho State, for many years back. It was the practice of Governor Jenkins, ns the warrant hooks in This office show, to draw warrants for publishing proclamations, orders, &c., 011 the Printing Fund, and this section, 1043, of Die Code wns ill ns full force during Ids administration as it is now. In all such cases, lithe warrant wns within theamount appropriated, I did not consider myself authorized'or required to go behind it, be cause the law, I11 my judgment, easts no such responsibility upon me. It may not he Improper jn mo to state, hclore closing, that I made a fall state ment to tho Legislature of 1809, in my re port of every warrant that I had npprov- edup to the 1st of January last, giving tho number, date, amount, tho purpose for which drawn, the person in whoso favor drawn, and tho fund or appropriation up on which each warrant was drawn, and I expect to do su again when that body as sembles. And if, with this information before them, they shall again adjourn, leaving the law in reference to the Issuing nnd approving of Executive Warrants ns it now is and seems to have been for years past, I shall continue to do, in the future, as 1 have been doing heretofore. Very respectfully, Madison Bell. . Comp. General.

That 1 have never knowingly ap proved a warrant drawn on any fund after it was exhausted, because I knew such approval would be in violation of the ex press nrovisions of Paragraph 7, Section tl4 of the. Code.' I would state, however, in this connection, that upon the hypoth esis that the. contingent fund appropriated by the Legislature of 1808, for the latter half of the yej\r, was limited to $10,000, said fund, was over drawn by about fifty dollars, but the warrant was the last one drawn on that fund, and was in favor of tho Treasurer himself, to cover incidental expenses, such ns postage, etc., which he lmd paid. Tins warrant was approved without that close scrutiny nrnl calcula tion usually adopted, and I suppose tho same thing occurred with the Treasurer.

Mutilations less titan one-tenth will he disregarded unless fraudulent; hut any mutilation which destroys more than one- tenth of the original note will reduce the redemption value, or, if a three cent note, by one-third of its original value. 51. Fragments of a three cent note will not he redeemed, unless such fragments constitute fully two-thirds of one note in its original form. •I. Mutilated notes’prescnted for redemp tion must ho iti sums not less than three dollars of their original value. Small amounts, us above, can he sent by mail, postage free, directed to “Treasurer of the United States, Washington, D.

Nov. 1, §10,000, by reason of the latter clause of the section appropriating it, and in this view of the .subject, the appropriation was not overdrawn. Ry tlie same section of the Appropriation act of 1808, fifteen thou sand dollars was appropriated as a Print ing Fund, and it was declared in the latter part of said seclion, tlmt “in case of a de ficiency In this appropriation, the Gover nor is herebv authorized to draw his war rant on the Treasurer for the same, to ho paid out of any money in tho Treasury not otherwise appropriated.” I was saG isfied that the clause just quoted, render : ed the* appropriation indefinite and unlim ited. ana therefore when the fifteen thou sand dollars was exhausted, I did not hes itate to approve, warrants drawn on the same section. Resides, my own construc tion of the law was sustained by that of tlie Attorney General, whose opinion l had tsiken the precaution to obtain, before ap proving any warrant after the Sin,000.00 lmd been exhausted. Indeed, whenever T lmd any doubt as to wlmt course L should pursuo'in approving warrants, I .submit ted the matter to that officer, ho being, under the Constitution, tin* legal adviser of the State House officers. 2d. 1 have never, to mv knowledge, ap proved a warrant drawnhy the Executive •when there wns no appropriation tocov- v said warrant.” 1 havcjtpproved many warrants where there was no special ap propriation to meet them, hut in all such cases, L recognized the authority to do so under some general clause of the Appro priation Act, or under some •provision of the Code of* Georgia, and I considered it in such eases, as much my duty to approve the warrants as if they lmd been drawn on some special appropriation which had not been exhausted. In reference to the subject of warrants alleged to havo been drawn on tho “wrong fund,” I beg leave to say in justification of the course I have pursued, that I have not at any time to my knowledge approv ed a warrant drawn upon a fund specially appropriated and restricted to some other purpose. I have approved warrants drawn on the Printing 1 und for advertising Ex- nvelope, together with a letter of advici . written on not less than a half sheet of commercial note paper, stating the name Aill postoflice address of the owner, nine of the remittance, and the man ner iu which returns shall be made. ♦‘Over tfioIWny,” Gone In her childish purity Out from the golden duy ?

The following suggestions to bathers have recently been issued by tlie Royal Humane Society ofLomlou, and are wor thy of consideration: Avoid bathing within two hours after a meal. Avoid hatliing when exhausted from any cause. , ‘ Avoid bathing when the body is cool ing after perspiration; hut bathe when the body is warm, provided no time is lost in getting into the water. “Avoid remaining too long in the wa ter; leave tljc water immediately if there is the slightest feeling of chilliness. “Avoid bathing altogether in the open air if, after having been a short time in the water, there is a sense, of chilliness, with numbness of the hands and feet. “The vigorous and strong may bathe early in the morning on an empty stom ach. “The young and those that are. weak had better bathe three hours after a meal; the best time for such is from two to three hours after breakfast. “Those who ar<5 subject to attacks of giddiness and faintness^ and those who sillier from diseases of the heart, should not bathe without first consulting their medical adviser*” SliG Never Grows Old.

I have not been able to satisfy my mind tlmt such warrants were drawn on the wrong fund. Indeed, I have considered myself justi fied both by law and precedent, in the course I have pursued. Section 1,04. ol tho Code declares, that “all printing other than that performed by the 1 ubltc 1 rtn- tcr, which necessity may demand, shall be - printed at the seat of Government, or sucli 5 j other place as may he necessary, m the • discretion of the Governor under his clircc- Sho will always l>c fresh and buoyant in spirit, and nctivo in humble deeds of be nevolence. Ln*t WJ*lt. A kind physician living near Roston, wishing to smooth tho last hours of a poor woman whom he was attending, asked her if there was anything that he could do for licr before she died. The poor soul, look ing up, replied: “Doctor, I have always thought that I should like to him tt rIuk* butter dish before I died!” bridge'of gold rtinnin^ North spanned the water between us and him.

AVe involuntari ly took oil* our hats; no word was said.— Combine, if you can, the most brilliant sunset nnd sunrise you ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous col oring which not? lit up ocean, heaven and mountain. In half an hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on its beat, the col ors changed to those of morning, a fresh breeze rippled over the fiood, oik* songster after another piped up in tho grove behind us—wo had slid into another day.” Rich Without Money. Many a man is rich without money.— Thousands of men with nothing in their pockets, and thousands even without a pocket, are rich. A man born with a sound constitution, a good stomach, good heart and good limbs, and a proRy good head-piece, is rich. Good hones are better than gold, tough muscles titan sil ver, and nerves that flash liro and carry energy to every function are better than houses and lands. It is better than a land estate to lmve had the right kind of a fath er and mother. Good breeds and had breeds exist among men ns really ns among herds and horses. Education may do much good to check evil tendencies or to develop good ones, hut it is a great tiling to inherit the right proportion of faculties to ]>cgin with. The man is rich who has a good disposition—who is natu rally land, patient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has a llavor of wit and fun in His composition. The hardest thing to get along with in this life is a man’s own self. A cqpss, selfish fellow, a desponding nnd complaining fellow, a timid, care-hurdcn- cd man—these all arc born deformed on the inside. Their feet may not limp, hut their thoughts do.

While Pollard Is despised by tho wholo South for his wicked tthd slanderous book on Jell’Davla, his infamous work is meet ing with littlo or no fiivor nt tho North, where ho hoped, nt least, it would com mand n ready sale, because of Us unfound ed nnd lying attacks upon tho puro nnd gifted Dnvls. The N. Y. Trlbuno review ed the work in n very cnustlc innUnor a short time since, nnd now tho Herald indulges in tho following scathing remarks concerning Pollard nnd his hook: “Wo do not suppose it is necessnry to say more for tho purpose of showing what style of book Mr. Pollard hns indicted up on the present generation, with tho belief that posterity will also havo to submit to tho punishment of reading it. Wo dnt'o not dignify it with tho nnmo of biography, much less can wo pronounce it history.— Instend of its living as a monument ofhis torical literature, wo rather inclino to tho opinion that it will live ns a monument to Mr. Pollard's powers of vituperation.— Tho author has certainly exhnusted the vocublary of our language iu hisdouncln- tions of nearly all tho personages whoso names ho introduces in tho work. Tho mildest term Applied Is “weak;” whllo “brutal.” “HcrvilqV n, id “pusillanimous,” arc made common-nlacc expressions. Mr. Pollard may consider this style of writing foreible; we regard it ns decidedI}’ bom bastic. It is very terrifying, no doubt, to weak nerves, but wo cannot imagine what other effect it can possibly have. “And now the most ridiculous featufo of this medley of ahuso is tho pretentious ness with which historical vmuo is claim ed for it. If wo read it solely as biograph ical, ignoring the inllated style in which it is written, it possesses but littlo or no value. We have read the book through and have failed to find tho “curious and extraordinary information,” tlTo hitherto unknown facts, connected with tho life of Jefferson Davis which wo wero promised in-the title pago.and preface. There tiro some few assertions made bv Mr. Pollard, for the truth of which he ortbrs no proofs, and as he also makes assertions in other parts of tlie work which wc know to bo incorrect, ho must excuse us if wo decline accepting: an ex parte statement. On the whole, Mr. Pollard is not cnpnble of writ ing an impartial biography of Jeff Davis— at any rate he has failed to write one here. That the cx-Prcsident of the Confederacy is a man of strong prejudices and of great obstinacy of character, wc think is pretty clearly proven; and that these character istics,’ to some extent, injured the cause of tite South, is by no means improbable.— Rut Mr. Pollard mustcxcuso tho “brutal” North, as he terms her, if she declines to regard as an imbecile tho man who, with limited resources, kopt at hay for four long years tlie greatest atmics ever mar shalled iu modern days. Wc will not les sen tho importance of tlie great triumph the North achieved in suppressing tho re bellion by believing its leader to he, and to have been, hut littlo better than a fool.” (■oiiornl INliicntlon. A strange idea is entertained by many tlmt education unfits persons for labor, nnd renders them dissatisfied with their condition in life. Rut what would be said were any of the powers of tho body to ho in a certain case disused? Suppose a man were to place n hanthigc over his right eye—to tio up otic of his hands—or to at tach a ponderous weight to hislegs-^and, when asked the causo, wcigj^reply, that Uio glance of that oyc mq^^mnko him covetous—that his linnd might pick his neighbor’s pocket—or that his feet might I carry him into evil company,—might it not he fairly replied, that his members I were given to uso nnd not to abuse, tlmt their abuse is no argument against their use, and tlmt his suspension of their ac tion was just ns contrary to the wise nnd bcncvoleut purposo of their Creator as tlielr wrong and guilty application? And does this reasoning fall when applied to the mind? Is not the unemployed mental faculty ns opposed to the advantage of tho individual as the unused physical power? Can tho difference between mind and mat ter overturn the ordinary principle of reas oning and of morals? Resides, how is man to ho prepared for tho duties he lms to discharge? Ry mere attention to his body? Impossible.

Tho counsel for tho defendant ndmitted that it was very disagreeable to loBo one’s nose, but argued that tho harm dono to tho plaintiff was not so great as If ho had been twenty years of ago.

Such nro more likely Hum any others to become victims of ty rannical nerves, nnd are often grossly Un reasonable, from tlie habit of not using their judgment. Above all, real, curliest labor will put to flight a vast deal of nerv ous troubles. Eow who are pursuing a life of work of importance nro greatly af flicted with nervousness, nnd these few may often trace it to tlie lack of whole some living nnd fresh air.
