LETTER IV.
^IlLLEDOEVILEE, Feb. 21, 18BG.
Editors Telegraph: It is very evident that
the session rapidly draws to a close. Thc
members are restive, particularly those inter
ested in planting. Every important bill has
been thoroughly discussed cither in one or
the other branch of the Legislature, or be
fore the Judiciary Committee. This Commit
tee, together with tlieFinancc Committee,are
by far the most important bodies outside of
the two houses before whom any matter
brought, hold daily sessions, and prepare
bills and resolutions for action thereon.
In the Senate to-day, the Penitentiary
comes up for discussion. Its entire abolition
is no longer thought of or entertained; and
thc Senate will hardly unite in thc resolution
of thc House to require the voters of the
State to express their sentiments on its abo
lition. At one time there was a general wish
that the institution should be abolished; but
it is believed that the sentiments of the peo
ple have undeigone considerable change in
this respect, nnd that thc vast mnjority of
them now desire its continuance.
The question then arises, shall it be built on
tbo old site in this city, or will the Legisla-
latnre take advantage of its preseut dcstruc
tion by fire, and as they have tc go to the
expense of fitting up one, remove it to some
locality which offers more advantages, and
where it might hc made self-sustaining,
cannot believe that any more of the State’s
money will lie thrown away on a penitentiary
at Milledgcvillc. It has not only been in for
mer dayp a nuisance to this city, but a heavy
burden on the State. It never did pay before
the war, unless it might have done so tor
short period of time under thc skillful man
agement of Col. Redding, now a Senator in
thc present Legislature. It never can be
made to pay again at Milledgeville. It is on
entirely too small an enclosure, which is
not susceptible of being divided or parti
tioned off so as to classify thc criminals, with
a view both to thc grading of the punishment
and the reformation of the offenders. In the
report I sent you yesterday the following lan
guage is used: “The enclosure is too con
tracted and the buildings arc two small to
employ more than ninety of the one hundred
and sixty-four convicts therein confined-”—
The report was made in 1857, nine years ago
and applies with still greater force to the de
mands ot a State prison at thc present t me
It is a great pity that thc Legislature did fiot
then adopt thc suggestion of the Commi' ce,
and move the institution to Stone Mount, is.
At that time, according to thc estimate sub
mitted in the report referred to, almost the
entire Stone Mountain could have been pur
chased at from twelve to fifteen thousand dol
lars, with nearly twenty-three hundred acres
of land, including a splendid spring, which
would afford abundance of the purest water
for even a thousand persons. The property
could yet be bought, and I hope thc State
will not be indifferent to the many advan
tages which that locality offers for a State
prison. Thc question will be decided in thc
Senate to-day. and, it is thought, will be in
favor of the removal.
There is a great ileal of opposition mani
fested to giving relief from personal liability
to the stockholders of thc banks; scarcely
any opposition to affording relief to thc offi
cers of those institutions from penal enact
ments. It is thought that neither branch of
the General Assembly are disposed to com
miserate thc hanks.
non. A. II. Stephens arrived here yester
day. His presence here is truly refreshing.
He has decided to address thc members of
the General Assembly anil thc citizens gene
rally next Thursday, at thc hour of twelve
o’clock m. no was announced to speak at
night; but there had been, previously, ar
rangements made for a grand firemen’s ball
on thc night of thc 22il, and Mr. Stephens
did not wish to interfere with the pleasure of
the young people of Milledgeville. I have
called on Mr. S., and find him cheerful and
buoyant. His brother is also here.

fully Dedicated to the Unco good
awl Jiorrally Virtuous.
BY S. Q. LAP1CS, M. D.
I knelt me down one Sabbath morn
Within the sacred fane,
And heard a liveried man of God
Hold forth in fervid strain.
He dwelt upon the follies of
Us mortals here below,
And preached upon vanities
Of oativanl earthly show.
ne hurled his vile invective
’Gainst extravagance and sin,
And though his nose was very red,
He railed at Holland gin.
Denouncing Shakspearc, fancy balls;
Parties, sociables and dinners,
He rolled bis eyes and damn’d us all,
As unrepentant sinners.
He came at last, as all do come,
To the business of the dayt
And ere he wound his sermon np
He begged that each would pay,
Five dollars for a heathen race
That dwelt in lend afar,
He call them, if I don’t mistake,
* The Tustce-Kugge-Var.
He drew a picture sad, indeed,
Of thia poor heathen race,
And said that all they needed now
Was victuals, clothes and grace.
This preacher seemed to have forgot
That at our very door,
We have a large and suffering class,
Known as the honest poor.

I noted well this sermon,
'Gainst extravagance and sin,
And thought the licks the devil got
Were very well put in;
Bnt I couldn’t for my very life,
Pass by the suit ho wore,
This very red faced pious man
Who talked of distant poor.
I saw he wore a broadcloth suit
(And fancied linen collars,)
Which altogether must have cost
Some several hundred dollars.
I, too, remember that he woro
A handsome diamond pin,
But, pshaw! it was not costly,
Aud ergo was no sin.
The sermon o’er, I took my leave,
Passed from the temple’s door,
But ere I’d reached a square beyond,
I meet one of our poor.
She was a girl of tender years
Who asked in Heaven’s name,
A dime or two to keep her from
A charnel house of shame.
I stood aghast in wonder
And thought of what I heard,
While listing to the goodman preach
The never dying word.
Indeed, I thought of thorn around—
Forgetting those afar,
For in our midst we have enough,
Of tho Tustce-Kuggc-Vir. '
No missionaries need be sent
Beyond the seathing seas,
There are sufficient people here
Who need our surplus V’s.
And if you wish to give to them
You needn’t go so far,
For at your very door you’ll find
The Tustec-Xuggc- far.
Mason, Ga., Febuary, 1806.
I CANNOT FORGET TIIEE.
I eannot forget thee—no never.
Although our brief friendship is o’er;
And though we are parted forever,
For memory still shall restore
The heart-thrilling words thou hast spoken, .
The beauty thy countenance wore,
And hope’s silver chain that is broken,
And can be united no more.
Farewell! yet 'tis pleasing to linger,
Tiie scenes of the past to survey,
Though “Time, with his terrible finger,*’
Has swept all their fairness away,
Earewell I I shall meet with thee—never;
But though I may far from thee stray,
Thy presence shall comfort me ever,
Whilo treading my desolate way.

deal better. °
In most coses of a grade less than capital, a
penalty that would deter a white man from
crime or prove an adequate punishment in
case of its commission, would be of little or
no avail with the black man. The former bos
character, pride, social position, thc good
name of posterity all at stake, whilst none of
these weighty considerations weigh a feather
with the large majority of tho negro race.—
What the latter may become in the course of
time,is another question; wc are now called up-
ou to deal with them as they are, with
tlie habits, modes of thought and low grade
ot moral and intellectual elevation naturally
arising from a state of slavery. We have
nothing to do with imaginary beings to bo
developed from the womb of the future.
Without going into nny detail for the illus
tration of this idea, we will take for a n ex
ample thc crime of Larceny. Thc negro is
proverbial for dishonesty, and never did hc
give such development of that criminal pro
pensity as lie lias since his elevation to a state
of freedom. This fact is notorious in every
Southern community. Well, what preven
tion against theft would a short confinement
in jail at thc public expense, or, in more ag
gravated cases, a few years of moderate labor
and wholesome food in the shade of a Peni
tentiary, prove to a vagabond negro who is
too lazy to work for a living and has no
moral scruples against stealing ? Take the
present code of Georgia as a law for freed-
men, wc have no hesitation in saying that in
five years twenty such Penitentiaries as we
now have would be insufficient to hold the
offenders. What is worse still, the entire
commnnity would become a prey to these
black depredators.
But we will not enlarge. We might write
a dozen columns on so prolific & snbjcct,
but prefer to present a simple idea which all
can understand, and which the intelligent
men of onr Legislature may take as the
groundwork of an argument which no hu
man ingenuity can answer.

T.oss of Another Steamer-Severe Weather.
Newton, Ga., Feb. 18tli, 1800.
Editors Telegraph: The elegant stern
wheel steamer, “White Rose,” laden with
nine hundred bales of cotton and seventy-five
passengers, bound from Albany to Apilaclii-
cola, struck her bow against a rock at “Ilell
Gate,” Flint river, twenty-five miles below
this place, at 7 o'clock, p. m., causing her to
swing across tiie “Gate,” and sink up to her
cabin. Her cargo will be almost a total loss.
Insurance upon it, twenty thousand dollars.
No insurance upon the boat, which, with thc
exception of her machinery, will prove an en
tire loss. She was owned, I understand, by
Mills and Bryant, who were on board. No
lives lost. This is a sad event to her owners;
but sinners will rejoice to know that the
“Gates of Hell” ore closed by a “White
Rose.”
The recent cold weather played havoc with
our gardens. Such severe weather has not
been experienced here for twenty years.

The Richmond Dispatch thus takes
off the affrighted state of Northern politicians
over the body ot the defunct Confederacy :
Tiie Poor South ! Will it not I)ik !—
The body of the late Confederacy, laid oat in
state, still “frights the souls of fearful adver
saries.” It cannot bo interred until the ‘crown-
er’s quest’ bas settled the entire qnestion of
name, house, and history. But those who
view the body are apparently ever in terror.
They see a spasm, a twitch of a finger or a
toe—nay, the eye winks—“it’ll come to life
yct!” they exclaim; and ns it would bv no
means do to interfere with a verdict and the
fees, the dead must have a thrust in the jug
ular, or else in the pericardium. They are
ever determined to make sure of him, and
ever determine that he is not yet made sure of.
