Referring to the fact that many parties art
under the impression that the late act of the
Legislature authorizing a further issue of
treasury notes, redeemable in Confederate
treasury notes in December next, intends all
the notes previously issued to*be redeemed at
that time also, the Intelligencer says it is a
mistake. The notes praviousiy issued, are
payable in specie or six per cent, bonds, six
months after a treaty of peace, according to
the act of Legislature. Ut these, seven mill
ions five hundred and eighty thousand dollars
were issued, a part of them redeemable in
eight per cent, and a part in six per cent,
bonds or specie six months after peace is de
clared. The late act of the Legislature does
not affect these notes in the slightest degree.
Tlie new issue authorized is the one which
will be redeemed iu Confederate treasury notes
in December next.
This statement is made to allay tlie appre
hension of many parties who hold the former
issue of Slate treasury notes, and who imag
ine that they will lose their value, as repre
sentatives of specie, in December next. No
fear need be entertained of the State annull
ing- her contract, a? expressed on the face of
the note; they will be redeemed either in
bonds or in specie six months after a treaty of
peace.
We have tlie opportunity of perusing many
letters from the Confederate States. But in
no instance do we find any symptoms of de
spondency as to the ultimate result. True,
tlie people sutler severely ; but they have be
come callous to temporary disasters and lo
personal privations, determined, through any
amount of misery, to conquer their independ
ence. And assuredly they will do so, though
years of extensive suffering may elapse before
their exertions are crowned with success. If
all we hear be true—and. to a great extent,
we believe the reports which reach us—the
Confederacy, iu tlie coming spring, will place
in the field a more formidable force than at
any previous period. With armies composed
largely of veteran soldiers and patriotic citi
zens, fighting for their homes and all they
hold dear, who can doubt the result of an en
counter between such troops and those who
are forced into the Federal service by con
scription, by want, ami the temptation of
enormous bounties? We observe in the
American papers fearful accounts ot the de
moralization which prevails among the color
ed people liberated and attached to the Fed
eral armies. The young women are prostitu
ted, and the old women and young children
are left to misery and starvation. This is not
all : Private letters state that the negro
women have taken to murdering their chil
dren by wholesale, iu order that they may
join the Federal ca -.ps unencumbered.
much for forcible emancipation.

The New York World censures the condui t
of Butler and Wilde, in persecuting the.
churches and ministers at Norfolk, in this
wise:
We know there are a large class of
malevolent people who delight, in these dis
plays of insolent brutality. A cock main, a
dog tight, or a pugilistic encounter til ways
collects an applauding crowd, and the same
"people who hurrah whenever the Butlers and
U tides do something peculiarly brutal, would
be equally pleased were they liie witnesses oi
the thrashing the Salem stone mason gave
Butler himself. These fellows appeal to the
baser passions of men, and thus earn the
ehoap-applaifse of base people.
But tiie above ordei of Wilde was, it seems,
countermanded by Butler, who wishes a mo
nopoly ot that kiud of work himself. It is to
the extreme discredit ot the Democratic op
position in Congress that it has not made the
country ring with denunciations of the Ad
ministration tor putting these two penny ty
rants in responsible military positions.
to Mr. Stephens’ Resolu
tions,
As an offset to Mr. Stephens resolutions,
both Houses ol the Legislature, previous to
adjournment on Saturday, passed the follow
ing:
li-ezolvfd by the General Assembly of Geor
gia, That declining io express any opinion as
to the wisdom of the act passed by Congress
enrolling such persons as had been enrolled
under Hie State law, we recommend that his
Excellency the Governor, interpose no obsta
cle to its enforcement, and the Governor is
requested to open a correspondence with the
Secretary of War, and request him to exoner
ate from the penalty of said act, such persons
between the age.- of seventeen and eighteen,
and forty five and fifty, who did not volunteer
or enrol within the time specified, supposing
their enrolment under the State law to be
legal. j
Resolved, Thai notwithstanding the differ
ence of opinion entertained by members of
this Legislature in reference to the wisdom
and constitutionality of the recent act of Con
gress suspending the writ of habeas corpus,
the General Assembly of Georgia hereby ex
press undiminished confidence in the integrity
and patriotism of Jefferson Davis, Chief Mag

The Russell Ministry are catching some of
the most hitler and stinging sarcasms from
tlie continental press that were ever penned.
La Pat tie says the abandonment of Denmark
•Vas dictated in the British cabinet by an im
mense majorit y of pounds, shillings ami pence
—that her course upon the Italian question
was dictated by the inspiration of calico—and
as to a revival of Russell's menances against
the German powers, it is waste time, for Eu
rope has no fear of Englaud ! The Vienna
Press stigmatise Russell’s American policy as
“common-place, equivocal, perfidious and
cowardly. Prince Napoleon, in a recent
speech before the directors of the Suez Canal,
ridicules any fears about English interference
with the project, as her whole policy was dic
tated by noble peers of seventy lo eighty
years of age, who had ouilived all the gener
ous impulses of youth, and were controlled by
the craven instincts of caution aud love of
gain. These and many such as these are
stinging taunts which will not help to popu
larize the Russell Minis!ry. We shall not be
surprised if that antiquated concern docs not
go down before long under the weight ot ac
cumulated public odium.

Queen Victoria's Abdication. —The Memorial
Diplomatique makes itself responsible for the ex
traordinary statement that at a recent cabinet
council, on the Danish question, Quet-u Victoria
rose from the table declaring that she could come
to no decision without consulting with Prince Al
bert, retired into her closet, and, ou emerging, an
nounced that the Prince was hostile to any a«-t of
war by England. This unmistakable proof of
mental aberration is said to have determined Lord
Palmerston to urge the abdication of the Queen,
and the fact that, instead of joining his mother at
Osborne, the Prince of Wales has gone with his
Princess to St. Leonard’s, is interpreted as an in
dication that Edward VII is preparing to mount
the throne, and to inaugurate anew foreign policy
in the affairs of Great Britain.
“BHI Arp” on the Habeas Cor
pus.
That quaint but astute observer of men
and things—the famous “Rill Arp”—fur
nishes to the public—or as he terms it
“All Foaks” —through the Atlanta Reg'
ister, a message ala Governor Brown on
the great questions of the day. We an
ncx that part of it that relates to the Ha*
beas Corpus excitement.
HABEAS CORPUS.
It are, perhaps, when suspended, the
most savageous Beast that ever got after
tories and traitors. To all honest and pa
triotik soaks it are sed to be perfekly harm
less, but still, nevertheless, notwithstand
ing howsumever, it might git loose, and
waylay our liberties, and tear the hind
sights off a man, before he cood holler for
help. It s nose arsed to be a perfect oil
factory, and lor miles and miles, across
rivers and swamps, and Fray ties and piuv
woods, it smells out all siclt as wood fer
ment distort! and speed disalekshun among
the peepul. When a man, or set of men
do make themselves in agriduon, and be
gin to brile tho poium and harmony of the
kountry, this animal do snutf tLe tuintud
atmosphere, and try to brake his chain.

Yankees, and old Linkhorn and his threa
tre, to subjugashun, extermiuashun, amal
gamashun, desolashun, and Mr. Toombs’
fowl dominashun, are a big thing, and ter
rible and horrible. But old Habeas, hung
up, and sekret seshuns, and the Kurveo

bigger and orluller, in the extreme Our
solgiers ought to let the Yankees alone,
and kum home and fight these savage
Beastesses, and you, my teller sitizeus,
ought to arms yourself with sticks, and
rok.s, and thrash.poies and, hot water, and
pikes, and make a violent assault upon
these “most monstrous paradoxes.”
I must express my astonishment that
you are all so quiet and unkoushus—that
you are so blind as not to see the danger
that hangs like a Bokonstrictuf over you
1 feel like you will always, and ever
more, and a good while afterwards, be
under everlastin obligashuns to me for

APPENDIX TO IIABEU3 CORPUS.
Since the diskovery of Ameriky by
Pokekonttus, the Habeas Corpus hav
never been suspended, ovre any body, ex
sep about thee Hundred thousand soVk rs
in the Confederate army. For nearly
three years, Genruls Lee and JuknsUm
hav had it suspended over all the tightin
boys under their commands. With most
astonish in patience they bear up under
; this oppression, and continue to live on
! half rashuns, and fight, and march, and
j toil and struggle, and never complain
| about nuthin. 1 axed some of ein how
they got along with the Habeas Corpus a
haugin over cm, and they sed I was a
fool/ and called me a‘dand old goggo’* or
sum sich name. If I wer Governor 1
would send mishunaries among era im

FiF.vDirm —The Best Course.—While tie pra
! gross of funding at Macon has been lively, in :.ll
| other places it ha« dragged more or less heavily,
! and the conclusion of our most sagacious business
men is that the aggregate amount funded must
fall considerably below the amount which will be
due for taxes uu the firs; of June next. Thi- being
the case, the i --.-r.ifii-riE s must be worth very near
par in the new currency. An impression prevail?
that the certificates are not transferable, but this
idea is unfounded. Wc have seen instru-•tion.-’
iVf.ui the Secretary of the Treasury u* the deposi
taries, which declare the certificates tran.-feiable
like any other registered bonds, by endorsementof
the bolder made before any Notary Public or Jus
tice of the Peace. These certificates must be in
request by tax payers who Lav. failed to fund, and
who nni t cither buy them or pay their taxes in
the old uoic.-■■ at one third discount, or in notes of
the sea i-ue. It is therefore extremely probable
that the value of the certificates will role only
just so far below par in new currency a3 to make
it an object for the tax payers to buy them. It 1
they can save tiro or ten per cent, on their taxes, ;
then they will go into market and purchase the
eertitn ute£. In this opinion, we understand sev- ;
eral of our monied men will invest in ccYtifii ates, j
rather than hold the old issue for exchange at the
rate of three for two in the new currency. The
o.rn‘Flint row funded iii Macon is a -outten millions?,
but at no other depository, so far as we observe,
have more than four millions been funded, at the
latest date. — Macon Telegraph*
Lively Times In Wall Street
The New York JfatrrM’x noncy article
for Morch 15 says;
This has been a day of exitement in
Wall-street, and not only in Walkstreet,
but in buisuess circles every where
down town. Speculation is assuming the
lorm ot a positive mania, and one which
almost everybody that can scrape together
a tew dollars to put in the hands of his
broker ns a ‘‘margin,” would seem to be
more ot less affected. Os course* when
everybody is rushing to buy stock, prices
rush up two, three, or sometimes ten per
cent., in as many minuites, and in this
way thousands and thousands of dollars
are made in the course of the day. Many
a shrewd opetator who had not a enough
ot greenbacks in the morning to pay his
weekly board bill, goes home in the eve
ning a nabob. It is pleasant buiness -as
long as it lasts. But how long will it
last?.
In gold the excitement beat’s anything
and everythining of the kind evero wit
nessed by the oldest broker on the street.
In order to subserve the purpose of the
speculators, all sorts of sensation stories
were puUin circulation and harped on ear
ly in the day, such as Washington rumors
as to trouble with France, the defeat of
the gold bill in Congress, the excess of
the imports over exports, occasioning a
sharp demand for the payment of duties,
and last, but not least the absence of en
couraging military news from the theatre
of war. It is needless to say that the first
streak of good news will send these “blue
devels” Hying and force values down to
something like a natural level
As the day wore on, tlie excitement
was not sustained. Gold, after fuelling
170 in the morning, dropped down to
ut 4 p. m. to the inexpressible dis
gust ot many who bought at the top figure
in the hope that it would rise to 175 be
fore dark.
Mr Thomas Maxwell, of Tuscaloosa,
gives the following simple-directions for
making a cornsheller:
In a tight room, or on a sheet, place
acrose trussels a stout board, with two
auger holes in it; 1 sand If inches in di
ameter. Put in the small end of an eare
of corn, and strike it with n mallet, and
you will shell corn as fast as with any
other sheller.
JVevp York and the War.
“Manhattan,” the seeesh correspondent
of the Liverpool East, writes from Now
York:
New York will have to end the war if
it is ever ended. She possesses the ele
ments of war. Without her tho war could
not go on a week. Unfortunately, she has
no great statesmen or wise men. She has
no guide. She is chained to the war car
of President Lincoln. The weakness of
such a tritier as Governor Seymour has
prostrated the Empire City at the feet of
the Federal authorities. It is awful to
contemplate. Now people ask, “Will
New York submit to the draft? Will
there not be another riot?” No, certainly
not. Lincoln will order 50,000 troops to
the city of New York, and that will make
us all as quiet as lambs. We will then
submit to the draft. That is the only way
New fork City can be held during March
if the draft is ordered here. Will Gener
al Lee permit Lincoln to send 50,000 Uni
ted States troops to garrison New York
City? Alas', we are hopeless in this city.
We have a wax Governor, and very soft
wax at that. Ido not know any white
man who is so generally cursed as is Sey
mour, although it is quite evident that he
; is not worth a curse.
j The Cincinnati Commercial, comment
j ing ou this, says!
Governor Seymour has been vigorously
pressed to resist the draft, and drift ini.*
a war with the national authorities. Dep
utations of copperheads from the West
j have visited Governor Seymour at Albu
| ny, and brought a pressure upon him to
! take the lead in a Northern insurrection,
ft is proper to say that Mr. Daniel W.
\ oorhees, of Indiana member of Congress
fiom the Terre Haute District, called to
see Governor Seymour on *this business,
and was exceedingly disgusted because
he did not find the Governor ripe for re
hellion.”
News, in ball a dozen linos, elsewhere copied,
p.'nits out ifie ridiculous inconsistency of the Leg
lslaluie in passing ituauiiuoiisfy a vote of undimin
lslied confidence in the “integrity and patriotism
oi JelKifcon Daiis” alter they bad just solemnly
charged him with a betrayal of his trust as a
guardian ol the public liberties. An examination
oi'Mr. Stephens’resolutions will show that Mr.
Davis is charged with an act which is declared to
he “a plain violation of the Constitution,” “un
reasonable,” “unconstitutional,” u “dangerous as
sault upon the liberty of the people, beyond the
power of any possible necessity to justify it,” and
yet say these bnlons, in a resolution passed ttnau
iuiousiy a few moments a (tor wards,
“The General Assembly of Georgia hereby take
occasion to give expression to then undimioisbed
confidence in the integrity and patriotism of Jes
fcrsoii Davis, Chief Magistrate of the Confederate
States.’’
Oh, my fine fellow, I have caught you .robbing
uiv hen-roost —your pockets lull of egg* and
hands full of chickens. I find you guilty of a plain
ac tof theft, beyond the power of any possible ne
cessity to justify it, but you are an honest chap
and 1 Lave undiminislied confidence in your integ
rity.
1« there any sincerity in this’ I=. President
Davis really guilty *•! u plain violation ol the Con
stitution —so plain n-> to be beyond the power of
any possible excuse-or apology if Has his conduct
been wholly “unreasonable” and amounted to a
dangerous assault upon the public liberty ? Then
why is he not held up to public reprobation a? a
man false to his honor—false to his oath—a traitor
to his country? Ifow is it that a Georgia Legis
lature can charge him with these crimes in one
breath, and unanimously assure the people that he
is worthy of “undiminiehed confidence” in the
next? I? this sincere, fair, candid and manly
dealing with the people, and with the facts, as the
