Britain in the late civil war in this country/

The proceedings of the House on these res
olutions indicate the prevailing public senti
ment at theNortb. A motion in each case to lay
the resolutions on the table, in order to dis
miss the subject from further consideration
was rejected by an almost unanimous vote,
and the resolutions were referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs by an overwhelm
ing majority. Mr. Banks, chairman of the
committee,{promising that, if so referred, the
committee would make a report. Mr. Hard
ing of Illinois, (republican) wished to offer
substitute, declaring “ that tlic course of the
government (President Johnson) in repressing
the Fenian invasion has been ignominious
and disgraceful.” Mr. Hale, of New York,
(republican) suggested a substitute, that good
faith required rigorous enforcement of our
neutrality laws and that the House could
entertain “ no proposition for tlieir repeal
revision or violation;” but Mr. Hale was
supported by only a half dozeu other mem
bers.
The Debt of Georgia.—The debt of
Georgia at the beginning of the war was $2,-
777,760, and due on coupons March last, $596,.
660, making total indebtedness $3,374,200.
Bonds authorized by the last Legislature $2,-
800,000, making a total indebtedness of $6,-
174,300. The resources of the State, outside
of taxable property, is $5,141,532. Confede*
rato debt repudiated by the State, $18,035,776?
Contributions for Mrs. Davis.—The
Fortress Monroe correspondent of the New
York Tribune says that Mrs. Davis is almost
daily in receipt of money, sent her by sympa
thizing friends through Adams Express. The
Express agent tells me that these contribu
tions sometimes amount to $500 and $1,000
per day. She has been called upon by nearly
all the ladies at the Fort.
Colored Newspapers.—Tlic report of the
suppression of the Loyal Georgian, says the
Savannah Advertiser, was premature, but it is
not Impossible that its existence may bclimited
to »lew briefs weeks. The S. C. Leader,
colored paper published in Charleston, has
given up the ghost. The News reports that
tbo officers who took possession of the office
were more civil than military, as the sheriff
officiated on the uccassion.
A Would-be Martyr.— It seems that
Judge Underwood is ambitious to be consid
ered a martyr, os he started a report that an
attempt was made to assassinate him during
his recent official visit to Richmond. The
Times, of that city, says that somebody jost
led the Judge on the pavement, probably
without intention, and nothing was thought
or heard ot it until Underwood got back to
his home in Alexandria and forged the un
truth of an attempt to assassinate him.
SAVANX.UI Advertisements.—We refer to
the n^w Savannah advertisements, which ap
pear in our columns this morning:
Messrs. Champion & Freeman, whom we
cheerfully endorse ns among the most com
petent and reliable business men of that city,
offer their services in the Grocery, Commis
sion, and Forwarding line. We will stand
security for the proper management of any
business committed to their hands.
L J. Guilmartih & Co., dealers in Ice, by
wholesale and retail, arc in a business which
everybody feels like patronizing these sultry
days. They are all old soldiers, men of the
right stamp and up-country dealers in the ar
ticle can rely on having their orders faithful
ly filled and at the lowest market prices. The
firm arc also engaged in the Commission bus
iness.
Alexander Hardee, whose advertisement
indicates his lino of trade, is nn intelligent,
energetic and faithful business man, who has
been trusted in positions of great responsibil
ity and proved himself equal to all. He .is
an honor to bis race and deserves success.
THE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH.
Our readers will pardon the insertion of the
‘ following article, which was sent to us unso
licited by one of our best and most intelligent
citizens, lie is perhaps too complimentary
toward our own poor labors with the pen
though we feci, without claiming more than
is duo to ceaseless energy and good judgment,
that what he says of the “Weekly Telegraph”
ns a vehicle of news equal at least to the best
in the country, is not wholly’undeserved.
To the Editor* 1faoon Telegraph :
^he Weekly Georgia Telegraph, pub
lished at Macon, Georgia, by Wm. A. Reid
& Co., is one of the largest, cheapest and
most ably conducted papers in the South.—
It contains ono thousand nine hundred and
seventy-six square inches. It has fifty-six col
umns and contains nine thousand eight hun
dred lines and ninety-eight thousand words.
It is edited by one of the most pungent wri
ters of the South, and is published at the re
markably low price of Four Dollars per an
num. Its political sentiments are unexcep
tionable. Its commercial reports and general
information cannot foil to give entire satis
faction. Such a paper deserves to be liberal
ly patronized by the Southern people.
Do not feel flattered Messrs. Editors/by our
statement offact*, which is not for yovr bear
Jit but for tbo good of the public, who would
like to k.iow where the greatest' amount of
good reading matter may be obtained for thq
mallest amount of money.
S. T. C.
Mr. Davis to Die between two Fires :
—The National Intelligencer of the 13th inst.
gives the following not very satisfactory in
formation :
“We have the best of reasons for asserting
that the President does not intend to inter
fere, either directly or indirectly, in the case
of Jeff. Davis, nctwithstanding the strenuous
efforts being made by his counsel in his be
half for the executive interposition. The
President considers the case entirely a judi
cial question, and will in no event interfere
with the course of justice in the case of Davis.”
This decison ot President Johnson will create
universal regret in the South. That Mr. Da
vis should be kept in jail to die, without the
prospect of trial or release, simply because
neither the Executive nor the Judicial de
partment believes that it has any jurisdiction
in the case, is, to say the least, a discredit to
our government. Mr. Davis was arrested as
a prisoner of State—not as a prisoner of war, for
the war was over—by order of the President,
and by the same authority thrown into prison,
and as the civil authorities fail to take charge
of his case, it is the right and the duty ot the
President to take action of some sort—either
to order the prisoner to remain where he is,
taking the responsibility of the conse^
qoences, or to discharge him on his parole,
nad he ever been in the custody of the Cc
the matter might have assumed a difie
aspect.
It may be, however, that the President has
a humane motive in declining to parole Mr.
Davis, believing that were it done lie would
fall into the hands of a blood-thirsty Judi
ciary, where he would fare much worse than
he docs in his present captivity.
It is a great pity that matters are as they
are. A general amnesty, which the President
has the power to grant, would remedy the
whole difficulty, besides giving comparative
peace to the country.

A Mysterious Visitor—An Causx of
Good.—A little incident occurred in our of
fice yesterday that may serve to point a para
graph. Late in the afternoon, as we were
sitting at onr desk, by the side of a window,
wc heard a sudden noise just ot our elbow,
and, turning, fonnd that a small bird, some
thing less than a sparrow, and hearing
around its neck a paper with something writ
ten upon it. had perched upon the sill with
in a foot of where we were sitting. Our im
pulse, of course, was to capture the myste
rious visitor, and ascertain whether it was a
messenger of good or evil. Wc extended our
hand, and, thought we had [secured it, but
it slipped through our fingers, leaving, how
ever, the paper behind, and then disappear
ed in the air. On the slip was written
these words: li 2ft*»ciiger of Peace?'
Perhaps some one in the city or neighbor
hood may be able to explain the circumstance.
It was at least comforting jast after we had
transcribed tlic warlike news from Europe.
Crops in Gordon and Bartow.—The
Dalton Georgian of the 15th inst, says: Last
week we mode a flying visit to Cartersville,
and were pleased to notice the fine appear
ance of the growing crops of wheat, oats and
corn in the countiesjof Gordon and Bartow
through which we passed. Tlic impression
made on onr minds by what we saw, ol a fa
vorable prospect for a good crop, was con
firmed by the report of the citizens with
whom wc conversed. The wheat was being
cut and bid fair to make a fair yield, not
withstanding the extremely unfavorable
weather recently experienced. Oats are good,
and tlic com crop, though suffering for work,
is equal, in all except quality, to the good
old days before the tread of hostile feet was
felt upon the soil of those fertile countris.
fcST* Mrs. Ritchie (Anna Cora Mowatt) is
living in London. Her husiiand, as ex editor
ot the Richmond Enquirer, and son of the
great “Father” Ritchie of Democratic mem
ory, lost his property by [the failure of the
Southern movement. Mrs. Ritchie spent last
winter in Italy, hat returned to London with
the resolute purpose of supporting herself by
her'pen. Her residence (we are told by a
correspondent is in Kensington, not very far
from Thackeray’s late home, in a quiet,
healthful neighborhood, full of literary asso
ciations. She has been a great sufferer phys
ically, but in spite of this she wonderfully re
tains her youth and beauty, and is very hard
at work upon her literary projects.
Stand from Under!—The news which
we publish this morning, both foreign and
domestic, is full of startling interest. Tlic
failure of the European Congress, the im
mense array of armies and the certainty of
war, show that the whole European world is l
soon to bo thrown into commotion. Tbe |
next steamer will no doubt bring tlic tidings
of a clash of arms. • The fall of cotton and !
financial uncertainty in England, and the
sadden bounding upward of gold in this j
country, with the immense efflux of the pre
cious metals, portend anything but a favor
able future on this side tlic water. Our ad
vice is: let every nan pot his house in order,
and prepare for tlie coming storm.
most of all others effective, in the formation
of character—a mother. I confess I was
charmed with the pure and intense South-
emism which glows so warmly in the col
umns of tins magazine. And yet it incul
cates no rebel action, but accepting our po
litical status as a remediless necessity, insists
upon making it a virtue, and educing inde
pendence from subjugation. The editorial
department is committed to the management
of the accomplished Mrs. French, a lady
whose pen has made her, already, one of the
celebrities of the age.
I know of nothing more conservative than
the wisdom of woman inspired by her affec
tions—or her knowledge made impressive by
her grace and loveliness—or her economy
made productive by her domestic provi
dence. Society is happy in proportion
as men reverence the attributes of female
character. The test of civilization is the
condition of the sex. The diamond loses its
lustre, whilst trampled in the dust. It must
be polished and set, to sparkle in its appro
priate splendor. One suggestion I venture to
make: Whilst a well written tale occasionally
is desirable, and even necessary, ft is, at the
same time, very important that tlifeslkidies’
Home'should not dwindle into the t
olous fictions. Rutledge.

A New Court House.
As a citizen of the county of Bibb, I am
glad to learn that a movement has been made
to secure, if possible, at an early day, a new
Court House, in place of the dilapidated, un
sightly, insecure, and inconvenient structure,
which is, at present, made TO**subserve the
purposes of tlic courts and the county officers.
There is no good reason why we cannot, and
may not, have, at once, a building combining
Convenience, comfort, and security, with archi
tectural elegance, solidity, and permanency.
Let the Justices of the Inferior Court sell
the old Court House and grounds, and secure
a more convenient location, in the business
part of the city. Let them obtain from the
next Legislature, authority to issue County
Bonds, bearing 7 per cent, interest, to an
amount not to exceed one hundred thousand
dollars, maturing in sums of not more than
five thousand dollars in any one year, and
scattered over a period of not exceeding
twenty years. Let them obtain author
ity to levy and collect a specific tax
each year, until the debt is paid for on all tbe
real and personal estate in the county, or so
much as may be required (after applying the
net rents and profits of building) to meet the
interest on these bonds and discharge the
maturing portion of the principal each year,
Let them erect a new court house of sufficient
dimensions to afford offices for the clerks of
the different courts, court rooms, jury rooms,
etc., as well as to accommodate the gentlemen
of the legal profession with offices—conven
ient and accssnble, at a fair rent at——per
annum, and let them have authority to
pledge on tlic face of the t bonds, the rents
and profits of such rental, as well as the
proceeds of the tax, which shall be levied
from year to year, and for the prompt pay
ment of the interest on these bonds so issued,
as well as of the bonds themselves, as they
mature, ti - > -
Such bonds would be readily negotiable at
about par, would be taken up principally
by citizens of the county—the money
would be expended among ourselves,
and the tax required to meet the $5000.
• -maturing yearly, together with the
interest on the principal sum, (after applying
the rents and profits of the building itself,)
would be so small, compared with the benefits
secured; direct and incidental, that I cannot
sec how any citizen of tlic county could pos
sibly urgo nn objection to it.
At the present, the county records are very
insecure; tlic location is quite inconvenient,
and the Court House speaks most unfavora
bly, either tho for thrift or enterprise of the
city or county.
Let us unite our influence, and nse our
very best endeavors to secure, speedily, a
Court House for Bibb, which shall reflect
credit, instead of disgrace, upon her citizens.
It can be done, let us say it thall be. J.
