Mvddold time worn seedy hat, Tj the Voters of -the 20th Senatorial District. It is concede! on all aides, that Baldwin is en titled to the Senator in the approaching Legisla ture, Hancock and Washington having each in turn been honsrei with the choice. At the in stance ot many friends, i authorized my name to be announced as a candidate. la the same issue of the Milledgeville piess which contains the an nouncement, I tiad a call for a County Conven tion on Saturday next, confessedly made by the friends of Capt. Lewis H. Kenan, a gallant and meritorious gentleman, who is also in the field. It is deemed quite certain no other candidates will present themselves. I at once agreed to go into and abide the nomination, provided that by joint and public uoiice. a regular ballot for two or three iionrs be had upon the day, as in case of regular elections. This would allow all the citizens to vote at leisure, and avoid the eti.fe snd confusion incident to mere chance meetings of the people. This proposal was declined as violative of usage which may be true ; but it was certainly fair. I aiso proposed and urged to determine this matter of County preference by the vote at the regular election of the ]5rb inst. Or iu other words, I proposed that even if I were elected by the aggre gate vote of the I district, and defeated iu Baldwin county, 1 would instantly resign provided my competitor would do the same, under like circum- e.ancfs This would allow full time, lacking one day, for a new election before the meeting oif tho Legislature; cor would any inconvenience be de volved upon the people by this secoud election, as a few votes wouid suffice to elect. wheD a can didate runs without opposition. As this proposi tion was also declined, I shall not withdraw my name as an independent candidate for the Senate As to the Convention called for Saturday, I shall not for the reasons stated, have any part or lot in it My friends are so notified throughout the ounty, and will not participate. If held at all, it will be by the supporters of one candidate only, and not binding on any but those in the meeting. I will also state, that pressing official duties may prevenr mt from visiting either Hancock or Wash ington ; nor dj I deem it necessary. The State Convention now in session, will settle, st least for the pro. Tf, the principal questions which apitate the puoiic mind. It only remains to re adjust tho entire civil machinery of the State to the new or der of things. The task involves delicate and onerous responsibilities, and I can only promise, that if elected, I will dovote most earnestly what little of experience and ability I possess, to the early restoration of order and p-irmanent civil government.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

That his services have been appreciated by ihe people, has been attested by consecutive verdicts, through the ballot box. Hia personal sacrifices have also been great. Privute business at present demands his attention, and he owes it to himself and family that his time should, fur a season at least, be given to them. But in his retirement we feel confident he will retain his interest for tbe welfare of the people, in whose be half he has labored so zealously and who will hereafter, without doubt, seek an opportunity to repeat the verdict—‘well done, good and faithful servant.’’— Telegraph. Re-establishing sf Postal Merries ia CJeor- **»• Eds Telegraph-. The Post Office Department desires to furnish the State of Georgia with postal service, at the earliest practicable day, until July 1st, I860, when the regular contracts, proposals for which arc now advertised for, will go into ef fect. Members of the Convention, whose county seats and important points, are not reached by lailroad communication, will confer a favor by calling at the Herald rooms, South end of the old hotel, on Wayne Street, Milledgeville, and representing the wants of their localities in the way of postal ser vice, and suggesting the establishment of mail routes. The Post Office Department invites proposals for conveying the mails until June 30 1866, to all the county seats, at rates not to exceed eight dollars per mile per annum for weekly service; fifteen dollars for twice a week, and twenty one for three times a week : and where the importance of the case requires, forty dollars for daily ser vice. Counting tbe distance one way only in all cases. . Service will be furnished on routes, where, be fore the war, it was daily, three times a week ,— where it was tri-weekly, two time times a week— and where it was seim-weekly, weekly service will be allowed. Proposals should be addressed to Hon- Geo. W. McLellan, second Assistant Post Master Genersl, Washington, D C , and should state they are for service to end June 30, 1866. A. L.

Felloy^Citizens : At the solicitation of val ued friends in different portions of the district, I announce myself as a candidate to represent you in the Congress of the United States. I am fully aware of the heavy responsibility of the position which I ask. and if honored with [ your confidence, I pledge myself to use every effort to guard the honor and the interest of the State of Georgia in her present peculiar position, and to give special attention to the wants of the district. Tho termination of the war has left you without post offices, or mail facilities Your com munications with the various portions of the dis trict, and with the State at large, are entirely broken up, and I promise you to bring to this sub ject my strenuous and faithful strvices, and the aid of my long experience in postal affairs, and thus to restore to you your interrupted postal fa cilities, if by your suffrages I am placed in a posi tion where I may serve you. So also will I give my faithful attention to all claims which any of j my fellow-citizens may desire to present to the Congress of the United States. And to this end j I invite a free and frank correspondence with tho | people, should thoy honor me with the trust I l seek. I shall pursue a conciliatory course, and | thus endeavor to ensure oblivion of the past—to ' heal the wounds that war has inflicted, and to | give and receive that respect and affection which j alone can make our Union what our forefathers , designed it should be. The fearful struggle is ended, and yielding to j the eteru arbitrament of war, let us unite in one i common prayer to the God of the whole earth, J that He will bless our country iu the future, with peace, prosperity and happiness.

The house contains five construction as any other State. By restoring those who were in civil office at the suspension of the civil govern- j plied for soon, ment, he greatly expedited the recon struction. This measure was object ed to by the military authorities, but he was sustained by President John son, to whom will be assigned in his tory the glory of having reconstruct ed the broken aud dismantled frag ments of the Repubic, without mar ring its civil beauties. He alludes to the new constitution as popular and democratic, inspiring the people with more zeal and energy in developing the talent and resources of the State. He recommends foster ing internal improvements, commerce and manufactures, and the encourage ment of foreign immigration. The State should not he dependent, as heretofore, on the Western States for horses, mules, cattle, hogs, bacon, lard and beef, nor in the Northern States for furniture, agricultural implements and clothes. They should raise, grow and make everything themselves. Now that slavery is abolished, labor is made more honorable, as well as more nec essary. Young men must become tradesmen, manufacturers, and me chanics. Their Northern friends must be invited to come among them. Immediate provision must be made for the probative government of the freedmen. This it is expected will be attended to by the President and Con gress, and such measures should be a- dopted as to remove all pretext for military rule. The electors for President anil Vice President of the United States should be chosen by the people. An early day should be fixed for the election of members of Congress. Should those members elected be in Washington, with their credentials, when the Clerk calls the roll, they cannot be excluded any more than those from Massachu setts. No man in South Carolina can take the test oath without perjury.— It is not the policy of the President to enforce this, and he believes it will not be the policy of Congress. An election is necessary for two United States Senators; one for six years from the 3rd of March last, and one from the unexpired term to March 1867. He recommends the issuing of State bonds, selling them to pay the State debt, so as to avoid the present taxation. The re-organization of the militia is urged, the Secretary of State at Washington, having given assur ances that as soon as the State Gov ernment is organized, all the troops will be withdrawn. He recommends the re-establishment of the South Car olina College ontheuniversary system. aBd the re-opening of the Citadel Academy Schools for cadets. He op poses any act looking to the repudia tion of the State debt. He recom mends an exchange of public docu ments with all the sister States. He says he has been informed by the Post master General that the mails will be carried over all the railroads as soon as the department is assured of the re sponsibility of the agents. In conclu sion, he asked them to look only to the future and not to the past.
