the time circumstances made me ac

family. Rut Wallace was ready fertile

j seemed to be no possibility of any acci

! and drPW’iig up some legal documents
I for him. One day his daughter Annie

j chirm*; that her father was ruin' and, and
I that tin y s ! onld be turned out of the

“Perhaps not. Miss Wall ic",” said TANARUS,

1 whatever it was, a bright aspect. “What
I lias happened?'
| ‘My father,’she replied, ‘had (lie mon

which we live, but it is all gone now.’
‘Has he lost it?’
I d'-i.’t know. T suppose so. Last

'How did lie get in?’
‘He has a night Key.’
‘1 must see Olmmller,’ said I.
‘No harm in suing him,’ added Mr,
Wallace; ‘! will go for him.’
fti a few moments he returned with a
younz man, Chandler, who, in the con
versation 1 had with him, manifested a
very liv ]y interest in the solution of the
mystery, and professed himself ready
to do any thing to forward my view.
‘When did you return to the house on
Thursday night?’
‘About twelve.’
‘Tw- lve?’ said Annie: 'it was no! more
than ten when I In-ard \nu.’
‘The clock struck twelve as I turned
the, corner of the street,’ replied Chand
ler, positively.
T ceMaiuiy heard someone in the

7b my K i-. uds and the People of
Oeorgia:
! have this day received information,
die. truth, -f which f cannot doubt, that
.o political cnDsnira' a. u-Lq rpol< the
iv.Tftii'rowqTlot only of the reconstructed
government of Georgia, but of iho Uni-
ted States, have secured the pl-dgcs of a
sufficient number of Hie incoming mrm
bers of (he Lower House o( the General
Assemhly, to vote without previous in
vestigation I'or Articles of Impeachment
against me immediately afler they have
assembled and organized on Wednesday,
the first of November next; and that
having adopted such ai tides in Hi"
House, a sufficient number of Republican
Senators will be unseated to ensure
c 'eviction upon the articles so presen
ted. I also learn that the Judge of the
Supreme Court, who is pers mally and
politically hostile to me, has informed
has frit uds that this programme has been
perfoeted, and that he las boon ne
looted to preside i vor ih Senate din ing
the trial; and that the Senator represen
ting Gen. Toombs’diMrict is to he elect
ed President of the Senate and iinrnedi
ately runiouuee him ndf as, and clai n to
j lie, Goven.ur during the pending im
; peachimmt and I hi i ealter for the l> 1 lance
of my ttnexpired term.
Up m this slate of tacts I have con
c'nd-al to.resign ttm ofiieo of Governor,
to take effort h -fore the meeting and
q lalifiealion of the new meinhers of the
new body, and thereby defeat this nefa
rious kc i me of these desperate political
conspirators.
By ties course f shall protect my po
litic it fiicnds in the S<’iiii!e troni the ex -
pulsion that has been foreordained in or
der to secure my impeachment, and, at
the same time, save the Slate from the
disasters that would lie sure to follow

Mean government j ist as long as it is
possible lor me to be of service, aid now
f■ ■ i 1 1 0 purpose of again defeating this

have resigned ill's office into the hands

right and justice, the Hon. Benjamin

Le has not heretofore been supposed t
l)o an obstacle in the way of the conspir
atora’ success. If c .Hindis are now
made upon ti 'id (lie couutiy will under
sfiml the purpose for which they are
made.
As tor myself, being d'vested of offi -
cial position, the charges of ev< ry char
acter which these people are sure to
make and proclaim against me, can In
hr light before the courts, ami 1 shall
never shrink from any judicial inquiry
that is divested of political bias and
pr'jiidice. May 1 he pardoned fora
wind ot warning to the men who fought
1 ,r the Unio ?
Six months ago, in Georgia, the mass
of the people were acquiescing ill the
results of the war, arid were willing to
accept those result* as being finalities;
but under the later public t--aching of
certain old who need not be
named, the silua>qjn has changed,
arid leading gentiemvn, even in the
Lem cr tic party, who <T,,>-.'d to speak
in t.ivor of acquiescence and peace, have
been assailed and denounced, and the
people so intimidated that they dare not
follow the advice.
These conspirators fear, above all
else, the re-election of General Grant.
Their insidious effort* to mislead him as
to the true situation in the South having
utterly failed, they now fear that some
p iraislent and irresistible maintainance
of the right under civil aiiininirtlratioii,
which so brilliantly marked Gen Grant’s
military advances iri the overthrow of
the rebellion, may defeat their revolu
tionary purposes.
I am now fully persuaded ar.d satis
fied that these men purpose to control
the government and reverse the political
results of the last Jew years by peaceful
means, if they can, or by foul means, il
they dare. Failing in this, another at
tempt at separation will be made.
If evidence of this were wanting, we
need but point to the public arid private
utterances of those who were foretnost
in secession and rebellion, and now de
nounce and ignore the fundamental 'aw
—the constitution of the United States
Will the country heed and take c-arc,
before it is too tale id prevent another
rvar with its frightful consequences?
ff my action in this emergency bad
been postponed until after the meeting
of the incoming 1 ody of legislators, the
Executive branch of our Slate govern
ment would have been absorbed by the
conspirators in the Legislative branch,
and there would have bd-n no cheek up
on the wholesale repeal and’ destruction
of all the great measures of reform and
progress that we have labored so Laid
Mo establish. The free school system
j would lio abolished, tho colored citizen
denied every right guaranteed to him,
] and the whole Work of internal improve
| incut-, carried on by Northern capital,
I would be swept away. The growing
spirit of lawlessness and proscription
for opinion’s sake is daily rendering the
property and lives of Union men and Re
publicans more and more unsafe, and I
fear the worst contieqiicne a if the Ex
'cutiv ffico should lie filled hy one not
only in sympathy with those who urge
. n and inflame this finding, but who is
moved mid actuated by them. With
no one in the Executive office to call up
on the general government for protec-
tion, its friends and supporters would be
handed over without mercy to tho as
saults of t.lieir enemies.
For these reasons f have determined
on this step, believing that much which
has already been accomplished, can be
j preserved through tho wise and firm
check upon revolutionary measures, that
will be given by Governor Gonley in
control of the executive branch of the
government, ail 1 that thereby the good
of Ike whole people of Georgia will be
promoted; and I shall cheerfully give to
Governor Gonloj uH the information and
assistance within my power that he may
desire.

(iBN'ERAL LEM'S ADVICE TO HIS BON
The following letter was written by
the Confederate General Lee to his son,
long holme the Commencement of the
civil war :
Armxuton House, April sth, 1852.
My Dear Son, —l am just, in the act
of leaving home f • New Mexico. My
fine old remiineot has been ordered lo
that remote region, and I must hasten
to sec that the men are properly taken
(ure of. I have hut little to add in re
p'y to your loiters of March 26th, 27th,
■id 2811.. Your letters breathe u true
spirit of frankness; they Ii ive given my
-elf and your mother great pleasure.
You iiiit h i study t • he frank with the
world; frankness iH the child of honesty
and coinage. Say what, you mean to
do on every occa lion, and take it for
granted you mean to do right. If a
In n t i -ks i lav r you should grant, it
il it is reason a lih’; if not; toll him plainly
why you can not; you will wrong him
and yourself by equivocation of any
kind. Never do a wrong thing to make
a friend or keep ouo; tho man who re
quires you to do so is dearly purchased
ar. a sacrifice. Deal kfiidly but firm
ly with all your class-mates. You will
find it the policy which wears best.
Above nil, do not appear to Olliers what
v „u are not- ft you have any fault to
q n d with an}’ one, tell him, net others,
( ,| what you complain. There is no
more, dangerous experiment than that of
undertaking to be one thing before a
man’s face and another behind liih back.
V\ r osh“ ult ' '* v< a net, and say nothing to
Iho injury of any one. It is not only
best as a matter of principle, hut it is
the path to peace and honor. In regard
to duty, let me, in conclusion to this has
ty letter, inform you that nearly a him
dml ye n s ago there was a day of re
markable gloom and darkness—still
known as the dark day—a day when
the light ot the nun was slowly extin
guished, as if by an eclipse. The Leg
islature of Ooiiuoct'ciil was in session,
and as its ir.ernl) rs saw the unexpected
mid unaccountable darkness coming on,
they shared in tile general awe and ter
ror. It was supposed by many that the
last day—the day of judgment—had
come. Someone, in the consternation
of tho hour, moved an adjournment.
Then there arose an old Puritan legisla
tor—Davenport, of Stamford—and said
that it the last day lmd o >mo, he desire !
to he found at his place and dug his duty,
and therefore moved that candles be
brought in so that the house could pro
ceed with its doty. There was quiet
ness in that man's mind—tho quietness
of heavenly wisdom and inflexible wil
lingness to obey present duty. Duty,
then, is the sublimest word in our lan
guage. I) i your duly in all things, like
the old Bui itan. You can not do more,
y.,ii should never wish to do less. Nev
er let me and your mother wear one
gray hair for any lack of duty on your
part.”
“Your affectionate father,
R. E. Lice.”

TURKIC JOLLY HUSBANDS.
Throe jolly husbands, by the name of
Tim Watson; .Toe Brown, and Bill Wal**
lor, Hit Into one evening, drinking at the
village 1 1 v tn, until, being well eo r ued,
! hey .gre.nl that each on returning homo
I should da the first thing ilia wife tolJ him,
|in default of which he l * lo nL ’Ak
morning, pay the bill. •
They then separated for the night eu
| gaging to meet the next morning and
give an honest account of themselves,
and their proceedings at home, so iar as
they' related to the bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown
were early at their posts, but. was some
time before Watson made his appoar
anco.
Walker began first.
You see when 1 .■ hernd my house the
candle was out, and, too fire giving but
a glimmering of a light, I came near
walking into a pot of batter that the pan
caees were to he made of the next morn
ing, My wife, who was dreadfully out
of humor at sitting up so late said to me,
sarcastically:
‘Bill, do you put your foot in the bat
ter.’
‘Just, as you say, Maggie,’ said I, and
without, the slightest hesitation I put
my foot in the not of baiter and went to
bed.
Next, Joe Brown told bis story.
“My wife bad retired to her usual
sleeping-room which adjoins the, kitch
en, and the door was ajar j not being
aide to navigate perfectly, clattering
unsung the household furniture, and my
wife, in no pi asant tone, bawled out,
‘Do break the porridge pot.’
No sooner said than done. T seized
hold of the tail of the p it, and striking it
against the chimney --jamb, broke it into
a thousand pieces. Af.or this exploit I
retired to rest, and got a cni taiu lecture
all night for my pains.
It was now Tim Watson’s turn to
give an account of himself, which was as
follows:
My wife guv# me the most unlucky or
der in the world, for I was blundering
up stairs in the dark, when she called
out, ‘Do break your neck, Tim.’
‘l’ll be cussed if I do, Kate,’ said I, as
I picked myself up; ‘I will sooner pay
the bill. And so, landlord, here’s the
■ cash for you, and this is the last tini" I
! will risk five dollars on tbo command of
| my wife.”
ERRING WOMAN.
We have hei*n thinking of tho unchar
itable tr. atm. • ' society gives to
what arc omen,’
ii \v v.: -ep them down!
llovv imp s.- i' ,l:e it for them to
rise again! How tnex arable we sen
tence to a dungeon of shadows, and shut
against them every golden gate to a
future career!
A learned writer, discoursing upon
this very subject, brings forward some
strong points against tbo uncharitable
and cruel world towards these unfortu
nate people. We quote one argument)
and tho reader can draw his own con
clusion as to its correctness:
‘And the Scribes and Pharisees brought
unto him a woman taken in adultery, in
the very act.’
‘Now Moses in the law commanded ns
that such be stoned; but what sayest
thou?’
‘Jestis stooped down, and with his fin
ger wrote on tho ground, as though ho
heard tlcrn not. So when they contin
ued asking him, he lifted up himself and
said unto them
‘I! -that is without sin among ydll,
lot him, first cast a stone.’
Without what sin? Nut all sins in
general, but one sin in particular. The
hypocrites, every one of them, had Sin
ned it. And, furthermore, most oien
since then have been the like sinners,
and are to this day,
‘And again ho stooped down, and wrote
on the ground, arid they which heard ifc #
being convicted by their own conscience,
went out one by one, beginning at tho
eldest, even unto the last; and Jesus
was left alone, and the woman standing
in tho midst. When Jesus had lifted tip
himself, and saw none but the woman,
he said unto her:
‘Woman, who are those thine accus
ers? Hath no man condemned thee?’
‘She said:’
‘No man, Lord.’
‘And Jesus said unto her:’
‘Neither do I condemn thee; go, and
sin no more.’
‘They say nrito him, Master, this wo
man was taken in adultery, in tho vory
act.’
Ifso, then not only the woman was
taken, but also the man. But what be
came of the man? The woman was
dragged to tho temple to be stoned.
The"man probably went away among
his companions to iangli. Indeed, there
is no evidence that he was not her chief
accuser, and the ringleader in her pun
ishment.
Now let ns point the moral which a
dorns this tale. If the woman’s crime
rndrics martyr ! an, what does the man’s?
If she was a sinner, what was he? And
yet how does the wm ld judge between
the two culprits? Ah, now as then, and
in every such case the Scribes and Phar
isees meet together to forgive the man,
and then go away aid h ave it to Christ
alone to torgive the woman.
A torribl typhoon has occurred on
the Ohm se coast, destroying several
' Hundred lives.
