Washington, May 27.—Telegrams have been received at the State depart- j mont from New Orleans 26th, trans mitting an official letter fromJJuarcz, da ted San Luis I'otasi, May 15, which says :()leratnro has falleD by force of ! arms at 8 o’clock tb : s morning.

The Intelligencer says the road ia better managed at present than at any foim.T period of its history.— j The secret is, it has tminers men and not politicians at the Lead of affairs. The District or Columbia.—Last week the mass convention of the Re publicans, wLi'e and blaik, in Washing ton, made its nominatioue for city iffi ocr>, and although the ne;ro s eut numbered the wLites five to one, the latter claimed and obtained every nom ination. A society of vegetarians has been or ganizod in Dayton, Ohio, the director being a woman, who avers that she has lived solely on vegetable diqt for fifteen years.

The Trial c>r Surratt.—Accord- i lug to “Palmetto,'’ the corrrspot.dent of; Charleston M< rcury, this trial is to com mence te-day. It will doubtless bo one <if the most interesting criminal trials that ever occurred in this country Parties tolerably familiar with the facts express the opinion that the evidence will fully prove the innocence of the ac cused, as well as of his mother, who was jut to death, with scarcely the form of a trial, nearly two years ago.

They still persist that he can furnish evidence of the contents of the missiug eighteen pages. The Beast is moving Heaven and earth to impl cate President Johnson in the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, but thus far he has signally failed.— The ultra assailants of the President nre in their extremity, and, like drown ing men, clutch at the most worthless -straws. Gkr. Sheridan.—The tyranny ex ercised l y this military despot in Lou isiana has driven the people in that State to petition the President for his removal. They have asked that Gen. Meade be appointed in his place We sincerely hope that the President will respond favorably. Unless the Presi dent shall institute some supervision over the military acts of this c< irnnan der, it is impossible to divine where bis despotism is to end. His power seems to be cumulative, and even now be sets no metes nor bounds to his in terference with and control over all other powers in his Die’riot—execu tive, legislative and judicial.

We spent a few dsys cl lest week iu tbe upper portion ts the State, and will givo our readers tbo benefit cj our cb aervatiou, in tha* section. We stopped in tbe famous Ci'y of battles, Atlanta, for two days, aud not withstanding tbe thaDgcs that have ta ken'lace since we domiciled in that thrifty place, fout and t sufficient number of old frimds to cause the time to pass off pleasaLtly—making ourself quite at home with the gentlemanly editorial corps of the and Daily Opinion. Wc do not wonder at tbe popularity of the former, since, ming ling with the chief aud staff, hut arc somewhat surprised that such geuial men as Scruggs and Dumble can stum acli tho politics of the latter. We fouDd busiae.-s quite duli, and business men idling arouud their doors, i without expecting customers. Not even i a Jew persuaded us to buy “goots so | sheaf," but, perhaps they knew we ; Were au editor. We do not remember ' over to Lave seen Atlanta so dull as at i present. The peofle however, are hop j ful of speedy relief by the reheat crop, which is quite promising in that vicini- Jiy. On Wednesday evening we took the train on the State road, and through , the courtrsy of that most excellent bu st c b manager, J. B. Peek, who had placed on our ticket “Admit to ladies ; car,” we soon found c|arself in a gor geously arranged coach, glidir g aloDg : ns smoothly and pleasantly as we could wish On this road there arc luxuri : ant sleeping cats, and cvctything nec essary for comf 'it in traveling. After a few hours of comfortable sleep, without even dreaming of tbe bloody battles, that marked tbe tracks of Sherman all along this road with desolation, we found curscif at the class ic little mouutaiu city of Dalton. Here it will be remembered, there was more than one battle of considerable impor t n e, and hero the Federal army win tered in ’64. The small valley in which the town is situated was bereft of tbc noble forest which once abounded and tbe mounds of naked dirt which crown the summit of each sunound'eg hillock, with the lack of aDy trees what ever, present quite a contrast to their apeparance, in days of old, when in boyhood we traversed them in search of game, as they were the aj pcartuce of the red mau’s hunting grounds. Here wo found business at a stand still, but the people generally, in hop ful anticipati in cl reaping a rich barvt st ol greenbacks when tLe largo wheat crop which they have reason to exfeet, cones in. As far as our personal ob servation extended, the prospect foi wheat was most excellent, and we were told there is more land planted in this grain than is goncral'y the case in that section. Along that portion of the State rosd ovar which we traveled, we found (he people busily engaged in removing “Sherman’s Sentinels”—naked chim neys and crumbling walls—,Ttd rapidly obliterating the traces of war. Provisions. Tbe high prices of provisions and bread, says the National Intelligencer, cause much anxiety in rela'ion to the prospect of the coning crops. The re ports generally from various portions of the country nre favorable ns to wheat, and the iruit crop promises well. But corn is “the stuff' of life” for this country, for upon its abun dance we depend for meat, poultry, &c. The crop of corn must greatly exceed that of last year if provisions arc to be lower in price ; and last year the corn crop was estimated over a thousand millions o[ bushels. Double that amount would not mero than he sufficient for our consumption at home, to Bay notiiing of a surp’us for expor tation. The West can no longer rend wheat or flour tc the Eastern cities. They have hardly enough for their own use. The consequence of high prices of food as in advnr.ee in the coat of mechanical and agricultural labor, and strikes everywhere for higher wages. That no great reduction in the price of wheat is expected is shown by the tact that growing crope, to be hurvested in June, nave been contracted for by mil lers in the Middle States at the price i of three dollars per bushel. The want of artiries for export has caused a renewal of shipments of «old and the five-twenties ore also remitted in large nmo mte to pay for imported goods. A financial disturbance in the customs may be expected unless our coming crops sin uid bo very large.— Industry of every kind must he slack ened, production diminished, and tne revenue from interna! taxation be re duced more than one-half for the tb-eal year commencing op the Ist (if Ju’y noxt, unless the {'t ice of bread and pro visions be brought down to a reasona ble scale.

Koitrui’a JotJiNAl •' I have thin day j been a living wit now and Loppy ftp - j licipxnt of one of the grand* st all Sirs j in the w uy of a Twpper.nce uud t un- j day School Colabrat on that I U«va j had the p’easure ol witnessing in many j n lor g day. The bountiful ptofu iuj of ijood tilings edible, the rnrling, hap py and beautiful faces petting above and out of their rich aud tidy gala dresse-s, almost led me to imng.iiti I was surreptitiously metamorphosed, in some Jairy dream in ihe land of myths, or more real and substantially, ns ('se.” sar might bepfesumad to have euid, "hi statu quo ante helium ” The procession was formed at the Musnnio Hull, and proceeded to the M. E. Church, which was decorated with flowers and evergreens. After singing and prayer, the choir struck up ’Cdebration day, 1 with Pianos nc companynit'i.t by Miss Jane Bell, fol lowed by an address on tho two sub jects of Sabbath Schools and Temper anee by Mr W. Bush, the teacher at that pluce. Hits address was replete with good souse nnd timely nelvice, both to us grown up children and those es fewer years. There sat the little “mute inglorious Milton#” in their ‘ shining, morning faces,” quietly, unobtrusively and unostentatiously taking it all in, seeming to feel the force of Pope’s aphorism that “A little learning is a dangerous thing, Drink deep from the Pyeri n spring, Small draughts intoxicate the brain, But larger ones will sober us again.” After thauflddress of Mr. Bush was concluded we were a yttin enteitained with a very appropriate song by tbe choir. And for fear 1 forget— permit me to say a few words, rn passant, about that choir. It was composed of a selection of beautiful young ladies, headed by our friend, the utbar.e and | belevolent Fr Mooro, wjioso broad, | smiling and placid countenance we,li I attested the pleasurable emotions that thrill bis bo&tm, on occasions like the present, when good is to be accom plished, aud especially where a “con sftrnation so devoutly to be w ished” as a success in these enterprises is so neatly accomplished as they are at Weston. But of the young ladies, what of them ? “They were not violently live ly, but stole upon the senses like a May day breaking.” They vveresim ply, to say tho least of them, elegant and I would advise the boys who want a wife, in the full acceptation of the term to go to Weston in search of her. We were then highly entertained ' y impromptu speeches by Dr. Bat mini and t'lhers. Dr. B. talked in his fa miliar, didactic slyle to the children of tho Sabbath School which scorned to have a very hajrpv effect on both pu pi’s and parents After which music again—and to dinner.. Thanks were given by the Rev. Mr. Yarborough, during which service I w as pronounc ing a very fervent benedict’on on the Dawson baking establishment, a fine specimen of their art lying immediate ly in front of me, (on w hich I kept one eye skinned) and oa the good Indies who had displayed so much taste in tho pireperation of tho multiplicity of creature comforts that lay in heaps of rich profusibn all around. After doing ample justice (at least on my part,) to the feast we again returned to the church, and our auditories soothed in to quiet by “a concordance of sweet sounds,” the audience was addressed by the Rev. Mr. Yarborough of Lum kin He spoke of TtmperuDce as one of the graces of religion, as a sine qua non in society e‘c., but confined his remarks more particularly to the Sabbath School; the duties nnd responsibility of parents and teachers, and of the neighborhood generally—urged them in tones of deep earnestness to assist the poor classes who have not been so fortunate ns themselves in worldly weo’th, to come to school—to put shoes on thtir litt'e feet and clothe their little bodies nnd lead them up to knowledge and io God. The add: ess, though seemingly un studied, with a good deal of the ofl hand hit of the jiopular speaker, and an air of total un oneetn as to the ap plause of tnen, was withal, rich in thought, rhetoric and religion, and just such an effort, as to inspire us at least, to wish to bear him again and to become better acquainted with the man. After Mr. Y’s., address we heard music eloquently discoursed by throats ns mellow as the dying swan's. How mortals >o their Maker bend, A, though tlieir own pure spirrii, fear A God I'm sure they ne’er offend. A doxologv was then sung and tho I benediction given and the crowd dis ' persed, a better and a wiser people as ; regards some very important duties.

T (Oa., Alabama and Florida) V Atlanta, Ga , May 21, ’O7. ) General Orders Mo. 20. In accordance with an act of Con gress, supplementary to an act to pro vide a more efficient government for the rebel 0 u’e«, ill, dated March 2d, 1867,’h0 following arrangements arc her. i i'made fur tho registration of vot ers in the- ri ates of Georgia and Ala bama : I. The States rs Georgi t at.d Ali b ma a<e divided into registration dis tricts, numbered aud bounded, as bere f.rf cr described. If. A Board of Registration is here in appointed for each di.-trict, as above mentioned, to consist of two white Reg i-fer°, and unc c lored Register. In the State of Georgia, where oniy the two white R gisters are designated in this order, it is directed that these white Registers iu each ’district immediately select, and cause to’be duly qualified, a competent colored tomn to enmprlcte the Board of Registration, and report his n*tnc and post, fficc address, without dr. lay, to Colonel C. C. Sibley, command ing district of Georgia, at Macon, Goor gia. 111. Each Register will be required to take and subscribe tho oath pre setibed by Congo si by an actjduted Ju ly 2, 1862, and an additional oath to discharge faithfully the duty of Register uuder tbe late acts of Coogress. It is not believed that any of tbc appointees, hereinafter designad, will be unable to take tbe test oath above mentioned. Blank forms of these oaths will be sent to the appointee at once, and on being cxicuted und returned to the Supetin tendents of H'ate registration, their commissions as registers will he issued, and forwarded to them immediately. IV. In order to secure a full registra tion of voters, it is detormiued to fix the compensation of Registers according to the general rule adopted in taking tbe census. In the cities, tbe comp ensation is fixed at fifteen cents fur each record ed voter; in the most sparsely settled counties and district s, at forty cents per vo'er. Tbe compcnsa ion w 1! be grad uated between these limits, according to to the density of the population, r.nd the facilities of communication. Ter. cents per mile will be allowed fir trans portation of Registers off pthe linos oi railroads or steamboats, and live cents per mi’e, when travel is done on i ail - r ads and stcamb.rs s. V. It is hereby made the dnty es all Registers, and they will be rxnecl-d t, peifjrtn it s riitly, to exjilaii to ail per sons, who have not heretofore enjoyed the right of suffoge, what are their political rights and prJvilcgts, and the necessity of exorcising them upon all pmeper occasions.

VII. Tteßoardsof Registration will give c’ue notice, so that it may reach all persons entitled to register, of the date when they will 1c in each election i rc cinct; tbe time they will spend in it ; and the place where the registration will be made : and upen the completion of the registration for each county, the Board of Registration will give notice that they will be p resent, for three me ccsi-I'’e days at the county seat for each county, to register arch voters, as have failed to register or been pre vented frem registering in their respec tive prrc'ncts, and to bear evidence in the eases of voters, rijectcd by the Reg isters in the s vcral precincts, who nicy desire to p esent testimony iu their own behalf. VIII Fillers otherwise instructed hereafter Boatds of Registration a:e di rected, in determining whether appli cants to register arc legally quttlificd, to hold that the terms “executive and ju dicial,” in the act of C ugre-s of March 23, 1867, eomdriso all persons whomso ever, who have la-ld office under the Executive, * r Judicial D partmenfs of the State, or National Government—in other words a:l o*# not legislative, ! which last are also excluded by the act Persons who apply to register, but who arc considered disqualified by the boards will be permitted to take the required oath, which with the .objections of the board, will bo hold for adjudication hereafter. IX. The lists of registered voters, for each of the prccinc'e, will be exposed in some public place in tbat precino', for ten consecutive days, at some time subsequent to the completion of the registratian for each county, and before; any election is held, in order tbat all supposed cases es rnuduleut registra-1 tion may be thoroughly investigated.— Due notice will be given and provision made for tbe time tyrd place f r tbe ex amination and settlement of such cases. X. Blank bocks of oaths, required to bo taken by voters, and Hark registra tion lists, as also full and detail, and in etructioog for the performance es tbrir duties, will beat once ft rwarded to the Boards of Registration, appointed in this order, and it is enjoined upon these boards that tb~y proceed to complete the registration with all energy atid dis patch. XI. The detailed instructions to Reg isters will designate the member of each board who shall bo its President. XII. Violence cr threats of violence or any other oppressive means to pre vent any persrn from registering his name, or exercising his political rights, arc positively prohibited ; and it is dis tinctly anaounoef tbat no contract or iigreeu stit with laborers,which denriver tbrm of their Wngos tor any longes time than that actually consumed iu registering or voting, will be permitted to be et f irCcd against them in this dis trict ; and this off. nse, or any previous ly mention* and in this paragraph, will cause the immediate arrest of the of fender nnd his trial before a military commission, XIII. The exercise of tho right of every duly authorised voter, under tho late acts of Congress, to register and vote, is guaranteed by the military an thumbs of this district; and all persons whomsoever nre warned against any at tempt to interfere to prevent any man from exerciting this right under any pretext whatever, other than objection by the usual legal mode. XIV. In cane of any diiturbarce, or violence at the places of registration, or my molestation, of Registers or of ap plicants to register, the Board of Regis tration will call upon tbe local civil authorities for a police force, era posse to arrest tbc offenders and preserve qui et, or, if necessary, U'on the nearest military authorities, who are hereby in structed to furnish the ncccssery aid. Any civil cfficials who refuse, or who fail to protect Registers, or applicants ! to register, will be leported to the head quarters ot the officer commanding in ( tbe State, who will arrest such delin quents, and send charges against them j to these headquarter*, that they may be brought before a military commission; * * * * * By Command of B’v’t M»j.
