Will you have the kindness to nnnonnee
trough your columns the receipt of soveral

thirty-five garments to the oqdi&ns, some of
whom did not have a change of clothing—
Live not been able to give them but one gar
ment apiece, and have exhausted the supply,
Will not some one else follow the example of
the kind hearted ladies above mentioned i—
If you could see ns I do, how glad these needy
ones arc to get the second hand clothing
which may be surplus in your houses, your
hearts would respond at once. Knowing this,
I feel it my duty to remind you of nn oppor.
tanity to act, for the good of the worthy

To (he Legislature of Georgia.
Pardon a citizen for pressing upon your
mention a duty you owe to Georgia's gal
lint soldiers, as well living as dead; one
which you cannot forego, which you should
not postpone.
Midst our desolation and poverty, to say
n 'thing of the restrictions upon us, we can
do little more than gather together, and pre
serve and hand down to their children a per-
minent record of their names and memorial
of their services; this we can do, this we
a<ut do, if the South hopes to have the sad
-’.'Tv of her great fight for her rights and
wrongs understood by future generations,
fonmong the spoils which belong to the vic-
t irs, are all cur official and public archives
which have been collected and taken to
Washington.
Appoint then, I beseech you, one of our
best men, no inferior, to collect and report
to the Governor of the State for preserva
tion and for publication, if it shall be so dc
tcmiincd, a full list of every officer and soldier
who entered the Confederate or State service
during the Into war, giving a sketch of the
career of each so far as the same can be au
thcntically given.
Give the person who may be selected by
yourselves, or the Governor, ample time to
discharge the duty, a liberal salary, and thus
erect, as far as you can, a fitting monument to
the memories and services of our gallant
braves who responded to the call of their
State and did what they could to uphold and
preserve her honor and integrity. W.

STATE AID TO RAILROADS.
Seldom has any legislative body had so favorable
in opportunity t* Insure the success of a great
work of Internal improvement, one of Immense
importance to the State—without any cost to the
State or any danger ot loss, as Is presented now to
the legislature of Georgia, In tho applicstion
which the Macon & Brunswick Railroad Company
is making tor a limited endorsement of their
bonds. The security offered being tho value of
about double the amount that the endorsmeat is
asked for.
No m ney from the Treasury Is wanted. No
subscription to stock, or any Issue ol the States’
bonds required. The endorement applied for, is
for half the value of what it would cost now to
build the fllty miles of railroad that are already
completed, and in dally use and no more nntil
other portions of the road are finished and actual'
>7 in operation, for which the entire road, and
other property ol the Company, will be placed
under the fall control of the State. What secnrl
<7can be more perfect?
Middle Georgia, Southwestern Georgia, North
ud West Geergls, and the great trade ot the west
<bst will pass through this State, all require
mother outlet to the Atlantic coast, and
thst vast tract of country iron Hawklasvllle
to the Gull Railroad, cannot be developed and
Wide valuable to the commonwealth until the Ma
con & Brunswick Road shall be finished. The
compiny hns been rendered unable by events of
the )u-t lew years, to complete their road, except
by the use of bonds. The value aud negotiability
of the bonds can be made sure by the State’s en
dorsement of them.
The business;of the city of Augusta has three
outlets to the ocean,
lot A tine navigable river.
2d. A rail read to Savannah.
"1- A railroad to Charleston, S. C.
Tire advantage of this is, the merchant ol Au-
surtu receives bis merchandise at a rate of Irdght,
■rom 'he seaport, far below what the merchant in
Xscon has to pay for the same, and the pUnters in
>bls f ectiou of Georgia hsTe to pay a large advance
in price for what they have to buy of the merchant.
Again, the shipper of cotton in Augusta baa his
*°Mon transported to the seaport, generally, for
obont one-third of what the shipper from Macon
bus to pay. The latter, therefore, cannot pay tho
Augusta price, the planters of Middle and
Southwestern Georgia hare tolosn the difference.
The quarter distance from Macon to the •»?<»■ t,
over that irom Augusta, does not warrant thi- ^reat
diflercnce that we In this part oftheStateerj made
*° puy. Instead of three to one, It sbo-- . J not be
Wore than one-fourth to one, and It would not be
®°c« II • wholesome competition existed. The
Mieonsnd Brunswick railroad will not only open
*be noble harbor ot Brunswick to tho interior snd
lo the business of the great West, but it wiHglvc
a new rout to Savannah, and be a benefit to the
business or that city.
Borne persons are opposed' to all enterprises at
l “ is time, both public and private, and believe
Joey ought to be sbaudeued, or at least curtailed
w the present, on account of the troubles of the ;
bints but thst is the prompting of timidity. On j
•he contrary, th'-re Is every reason why neither the
•Ute, nor corporations, or individuals, should
’•-Jleetsny favorable opportunity to advance their ■
muerhd prosperity. Middle Gpoaaia.

The Choctaw .Ala.) Herald says:
Let our peole settle themselves down
throw politics t the dogs or to the radicals,
and go to wok aud strive to develop and
improve the agicultural resources of the
State, and our vord for it, in a few years they
will be a happir if not a wealthier people
than ever befire. At present the less we
hare to do wkli politics the better for us.
We are powerless to do good and may do
barm. Nearly evey man in the interior is a
land holder, or hose that are not caD now
very easily becotnaso, and every man who
will work can drai a bountiful support from
the soil. Then letns all go to work in earn
est and endeavor t> improve our condition,
and build up agin the prosperity of the
State.
The Carrolton Wst Alabamian remarks:
‘•Let us hope «i, let us work on, in our
own peculiar way,;hatis, by doing nothing,
by saying nothing,and by thinking nothing
as nearly as we can Let us yi?ld gracefully
to the inexorable bgic of events, and accept
the terms of manifst destiny as best we may.
We arc poweriessfor anything better.
The TuscnUost Observer says at the con
clusion of an irfcle entitled “Prosperity yet
before ns:” |
“ We repeat i; people of Alabama, stay at
home; cease to trouble yourselves so much
about political afairs,in theshapingof which
for good or ill, thi can have but little influ
ence ; till the sai, by means of all agricultu
ral improvemens: make two blades of grain
grow where buf one grew before; unlock the
storehouses ol tnst wealth which lie beneath
your feet; be liberal and forbearing with
your debtors; and you will build up your
shattered couttry to a degree of prosperity
unknown befae.”
To all of wlich we say Amen. Let us de
velop all *ur :esourccs, increase our wealth,
restore our falen fortunes, build schools, fac
bones and raiVoads, raise corn, cotton and
stock, and, to tie best ol our ability, eschew
ing all politics,'seek to make tiic South great
and prosperous. Politics liave always been
the bane of our ountry; but, at present, the
less we have to dc witli them the better, be

turning sense of justice will open the eyes of
the North, and she will find that she has

SYNOPStw Of tub Jiceaxcr o-p TUE
GOVERNOR OF ALABAMA—HE RE
COMMENDS THE REJECTION OF THE
AMENDMENT.
[SPECIAL TO TnE TELEGRAPH.]
Mobile, Nov. 13th.—The Governor’s message
takes strong grounds against the constitution'll
amendment. After reviewing the whole subject,
he says: “ I am decidedly of the opinion that this
amendment should not be ratified. The first sec
tion embodies a principle dangerous to the liber
ties of the people of the whole country, and Isas
applicable to New York and Massachusetts as to
Alabama. The third section would bring no pos
sible good to represented States. It would reduc-
tbose unrepresented to anarchy and rate. We are
sincerely desirous for a complete restoration of
tbe Union, and we want conciliation, harmony
and national tranquility. Wo feel that we have
given every evidence of honest purpose to
conform, in good faitb, to the condition of
things surrounding us. Alabama is as true to
day to tbe Constitution, laws, and to the General
Government, as any State in the Union. Under
the internal revenue law tax on cotton, the peo
ple of the State are now paying revenue to the
Government of near ten millions dollars n'year.
In the enactment of those laws we had no voice.
The amendment was proposed when nearly one
third of tbe States were unrepresented, and all
its harsh features are ainjed at States thus exclu
ded. The ratification of such an- amendment,
under such circumstances, cannot accomplish
any good to the country, and might bring irre
trievable disaster.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE MISSISSIPPI
DELEGATION.
WAsnixoTox. Nov. 14th.—Messrs. Hillyer and
Lowry called upon the President to-day, having
previously sent to him the Mississippi Legisla
ture resolutions in relation to Jefferson Davis.—
They also presented an accompanying letter
from Go'v. Humphrey, based on the idea that
there will be no trial; but be says, while they
do not seek to screen him from this, they believe
that his imprisonment is not necessary to secure
bis presence when desired for trial, and can only
be attended with fatal results to his health, and
thst tho ends jf justice will bo reached by
admitting him to bail or parole. The President
gave them a courteous reception aud promised
to take the subject into consideration.
Wi>w Vni*~, "KT„„ 11 Tim TTofot'S'n
Washington special says: The President
yesterday laid before the Cabinet certain por
tions of his annual message. The meeting
was somewhat protracted. Various portions
of'the message were discussed. Our relations
with Mexico will occupy a very prominent
position in the message. X is certain that
the mission cf Minister Campbell and Gen.
Sherman to Mexico is not for buncombe; it
means work*. If, on the arrival of the Sus
quehanna at Vera Cruz, or any other Mexi
can port, it is ascertained that neither Maxi
milian npr the French have left, evidence is
afforded that they do not intend to do so
without unnecessary delay, there is reason to
believe the President will recommend to Con
gress most vigorous measures to expedite
their exit. The state of affairs on their arri
val, if not the preliminary aetion of the mis
sion, will probably be ascertained by the
Government in time for the President to in
corporate his definite and decided Mexican
policy in his forthcoming message.
The recent letters from Mexico throwing
discredit upon information given to the pub
lic through the Mexican Minister, to the ef
fect that the visit ot the Emperor to Orizaba
was in pursuance of his intention to embark
for Europe, arc believed here to have been
written in the interest ol Imperialists. The
belief is entertained that Louis Napoleon de
sires Maximilian to remain in Mexico until
the French troops arc withdrawn, for reasons
which none can explain better than himself
Supreme Couht.—C. W. DuBose, Esq.,
Clerk of the Supreme Court of Georgia, gives
notice, in accordance with law, that a term of
the Court will be held at Milledgeville, com
mencing on the first Monday in December
nc-xt, and that tbe docket will be called in
the following order: 1. Southwestern Cir
cuit: 2. Pataula Circuit; 3. Chattahoochee

23?“ The President has almost ceased to
f ront pardons to residents of the Southern
bates who participated in tlm rebellion, and
it is insinuated in circles qualified to speak
on the matter that no pardons will be grant
ed for an indefinite period to any oue who
occupied n leading position in the insurrec
tion, or to those who accepted positions from
the Confederate States Government, either in
the military or the civil service.
The same authority states that the reasons
which have influenced the President in thus
restricting the issue of pardons arc of a po
litical character, originating Iroin the recent
election.-.
Ungallant, Vert.—Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Staunton, who ran for Congress in one of the
New York districts, got but 8 votes out of a
poll of over 20,000. Tbe New Yorkers are a
very ungallunt people. They treat the white
ladies worse than the Bostonians, treat the
' buck niggers.”
Maxes his Expensks.—John Morrissev
makes $23,000 on bets that Hoffman would
carry New York city by over 40,000 majority.
This will go far toward; gayiag his election
expenses. John sets a very bad example,
however, in betting on elections.
