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.” "To G. W. Ciistis Lee.” GoodOocssel-—No young man can hope to rise in society, oi perform wor thily hi- part in life, without a fair moral character: The basis of Such a char acter is a virtuous, fixed sense of moral obligation, sustained and invigorated by the fear and love of God.

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.

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.
