FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 3,18«tt.
THE GEORGIA STATE ORPHAN HOME.
Subjoined will be found an address to the
People of Georgia, prepared by Col. James
Gardner, of this city, one of the trustees of
the Georgia State Orphan Home. This ad
dress, written at the request of the author’s
eo-trustees and in the name of the board, will
be read with interest, and it is sincerely to be
trusted that its eloquent appeal may not pass
unheeded. Our people are poor to be sure,
but not sofeduced but that they may contribute
something at least to so sacred a charity. The
clergy and our good women—whose lame is
now so illustrious-rmay render good service
in collecting funds and obtaining the iufornia
tiou desired, and a simple suggestion to them
to do so we feel will be quite sufficient:
To the People of Georgia.
The Legislature of Georgia, at its last session,
passed an act to establish, “at some suitable
place in this State, an Institution for the pro
tection, support and education of orphan chil
dren, to be styled the ‘ Georgia State Orphan
llo*e,’ which shall be the property of the
State.”
In pursuance of directions contained in the
act, the Governor has appointed “a Building
Committee of thr. e, whose duty it shall be to
select and purchase, or receive by donation, at
some suitable place, a site or piece of land
adapted to the purpose, and to superintend the
erection thereon, of a suitable building or build
ings for the purposes above recited, planned in
proportion to tlie amount of funds which may
lie appropriated and set apart, or received by
gilt for that purpose and with a view to the
convenience ol future extension and improve
ments.”
In pursuance of the act the Governor has
also appointed “ a Board of Trustees, to consist
of nine, (9) whose duty it shall be, Ist, to take
charge of, and hold in trust, all property and
claims of whatever kind, both real and personal,
belonging to said institution, in the name of
the State, and to use the same for the benefit of
said institution, and for the promotion of the
objects for which it is established. 2d. To hold
in trust all donations intended for endowments,
from benevolent persons or societies, and to
investand use the same as may be directed by the
donors respectively. Provided , That when no
direction is given by the. donor, the Trustees
may invest in such stocks, bonds, real estate,
Ac., as they may deem best, with the advice and
conseut of the Governor. 3d. To bring suit
in their names, lor any claim the institution
may have, whether arising from contract or
tort. 4111. To prescribe all the rules and re
gulations for the government of the institu
tion, and for the reception of children, not in
conflict with the laws of this State. stli. To
appoint ail the officers, point out their duties,
and fix their salaries, and to remove from office
when the incumbents fail to properly discharge
their duties, or are guilty of immoral or un
faithful conduct, bill. To make to the Gover
nor at the end of each fiscal year an accurate
mid full report of the operations and condition
of the institution, and of the receipts and dis
bursements for the same.”
A majority of the Trustees appointed, assem
bled on the 18th instant, at Macon, and organ
ized for business. The proceedings, in detail,
were ordered to be furnished for publication in
the newspapers of the State.
Rev. 11. It. Tucker, ol' Atlanta, was elected
President of the Board of Trustees.
Rev. W.tyman 11. Potter, of Augusta, was
elected Vice-President.
Rev. Wm. Flynn, of Milledgcvillc, was elect
ed Secretary and Treasurer.
The undersigned was appointed to prepare
and publish au address to the people of Georgia
setting forth the nature and purposes of the
institution—its claims upon the good will and
support of the citizens of Georgia, and asking
such information and assistance as will best
promote the objects of this noble charity.
The great civil war that was brought to a dis
astrous dose last year, in the downfall ol the
Confederate cause, entailed some sacred obliga
tions upon the survivors of that sanguinary
struggle. The heroes who sleep in their bloody
shrouds have completed their work. The sons
of Georgia who fell in the front of battle, or
dropped by the wayside, overcome by wounds
and sickness, or perished in camp and hospital,
have done their full share to give our noble State
a proud name and place in history. Their sur
viving comrades, who faithfully shared the toils
and sufferings of the camp, the bivouac, tlie
march and the battle—many of whom carry on
their persons the scars of honorable service—
have equally contributed to the fame of Georgia.
But public service is not alone glorious when
rendered in the field. Patriotic self-sacrifice is
not alone noble when displayed at tlie cannon’s
nMiitli. It is not alone by feats of arms a
State builds up a reputation for greatness. It
is not alone by high courage and heroic forti
tude her sons can show their readiucss to con
tribute to her name and fame. The character
of a State is to be estimated by tlie manner in
which her people discharge every duty, civil
and military—by the influence a proper sense
of social and moral obligation exercises upon
tlie general conduct —by the fruits that spring
from these eonvietions. The character of a
State is to be estimated by her arts, not less
than her arms—by her great enterprises aud
public works. The heart of her people speaks
in her benevolent schemes and liar charitable
institutions.
Thus far tlio people of Georgia have nobly
borne every test. While her soldiers in tlie
field displayed all the elements of heroism,
whether by courage amidst danger or uncom
plaining fortitude amidst privation, her people
at home were lavish of their substance, and in
their labors, for tlie common cause. The
women, especially, by their pure aspirations—
by their noble self-denial—by their charitable
toils—by their ever-activc sympathies, giving
all their hearts and bands and prayers to tlie
cause—have furnished to the common history
pages lustrous with the light of purest virtue,
and established an imperishable claim to tlie
admiration and homage of all good men.
The war has ended, but its ending is but the
beginning of new duties. .More sacrifices are
to be made. More self-denial is to be exer
cised. More labors are to be performed. Mom
money is to be contributed. They arc necessa
ry results of tlie war. They are not less sacred
ly binding because tlie Confederate flag was
cloven down by superior force, and Southern
wealth has been swept away in the devastating
storm.
Among the sacred duties entailed upon you,
people of Georgia, is tlie care and maintenance
of the orphans made destitute and helpless by
this war. First in precedence of this unfortu
nate class, are the helpless aud destitute
orphans of the soldiers of Georgia who fell in
the cause of Southern independence. This
duty is frankly recognized by you iu the action
of the last Legislature. To stimulate you to
some practical action iu this, your line of duty,
is the object of this address.
Three leading objects are here aimed at.
First, to exhort every good citizen in every
position, and in every vocation, to interest him
self in this cause—to discuss it in his family
and among his neighbors and friends, and urge
their co-operation in the good work. Especially
is it desired to enlist the holy sympathies, tlie
kind words and wishes, and tlie prayers of tlie
women of Georgia for the success of the State
Orphan Home. In tlie happy home circles,
and amidst scenes of festivity—in the marts of
trade-in the contests of the lorum and in the
halls of science, alike as iu the lone spots of
suffering and poverty, where helpless orphan
age pines for a crust—let the voice of charity
he heard. Let the busy thought pause iu its
eager pursuit, whether of pleasure or business,
the problem, what Georgia owes
at this moment to her orphan children, and to
her own just fame. Let the Pulpit and the
Press bring their potent energies to bear upon
this great problem.
Second, to elicit information —specific, de
tailed and classified information—as to the
number and condition of the children the be
nevolence of the State is designed to reach. It
i 6 desirable to get information from each coun
ty in Georgia on the following points :
1. The number, age and sex of destitute
orphans who have lost both parents.
2. The number, age and sex of destitute
orphans who have lost a lather or mother
(specifying which parent).
3. The number, age and sex of destitute
prphans of deceased Confederate soldiers, who
perished In the war, or have died since from
wounds and sickness contracted during tlie
war.
4. The number, age and sex of destitute
children of living soldiers, disabled by wounds
or sickness while iu Confederate service.
5. Tlie names of the fathers of these children,
with the company and regiment, brigade and
division iu which each served, and to which li
belonged at the time he was killed or disabled.
6. The number, age and sex of children of
“ indigent and distressed parents who are unable
to support them.”
Third. To invite correspondence and co
operation from all citizens who take an inter
est in this great charity, and can give practical
aid in any way in carrying out the purposes of
the Legislature.
Fourth. To in-flte donations of money and
property to the State Orphan Home.
The evident purpose of the Legislature is in
due time to make the requisite appropriation
to establish tlie State Orphan Home on a foun
dation solid aud eternal as her granite bills,
and on a scale of liberality commensurate with
tlie necessities of tlie ease and tlie dignity of
tlie State.
It will doubtless comport with tlie generous
wishes of lier citizens, that tlie Orphan Home
shall be a worthy monument of gratitude to
her heroic sons. It will equally comport with
tlie enlightened souse of justice of her legisla
tors, that this Home should be erected as some
slight compensation to tlie children rendered
destitute by the results of a policy, culiniualiug
in a civil war, which the matured judgment of
tlie most trusted men of Georgiajsanctioneil
and tlie Slate formally adopted. But it will
take time to carry out these benevolent inten
tions on tlie scale contemplated. The Coin
mission appointed to fix upon a location have
yet to make their report to the Legislature.
Tliis will lie some months hence. The appro
priations arc then to be made for tlie erection
of suitable buildings. It will take years, per
haps, before those buildings will be completed.
Lu the meantime, these destitute children are
suffering. To them, time is of vital import
ance. To some, it is doubtless now a question,
from day to day, of bread and of physical exist
ence. To all, it involves considerations of so
cial comfort, of moral training, of education,
aud of religious instruction. Under any cir
cumstances, it must require, first, and last, large
sums of money; for tlie number of destitute
children is most formidable. The State, with
all her resources as a body politic, is financially
much crippled by the war. There are many
other claims on lier benevolence. There is
need, therefore, and instant need, of all the
liberality which her citizens can individually
extend to this noble charity. The Trustees un
organized, and the Board is ready to put the
work in motion as soon as funds, however
small in amount, are contributed. They would
lie glad to begin at once, if the means supplied
enabled them only to rent the most humble
tenement and to place the smallest group of
destitute orphans beneath its shelter. Even
from such small beginnings have sprung some
of the noblest institutions of charity in Chris
tendom.
True, this appeal is made to au impoverished
people, staggering painfully under heavy pecu
niary burthens, whose fields were but recently
laid waste, and her towns, villages and hamlets
blackened by the scourge of war. But though
so many ol her benevolent citizens have been
ruined, whose bands, in tlie days of their afflu
ence, “ were open as the day to melting charity,”
yet some among them were fortunate. Some
wholly or partially escaped tlie geneiyi devasta
tion. To some public spirited citizens a little
yet remains with which to gratify tlieir liberal
impulses.
People ol Georgia—the work is now with
you in your individual capacities. Who will
lead the way ? Who will make the first con
tribution? As yet, tlie Georgia State Orphan
Home exists but on paper. To the first con
tributor will belong the honor of converting
into form and substance tills shadowy unreality
—of practically giving
“ to airy nothing,
A local habitation and a name.”
The first stone is yet to be laid of that gr< a:
charity, tlie Georgia State Orphan Home, which
is destined to outlive tlie Pyramids, and he a
grander monument. Tlie latter speak only of
physical power -tlie aggregate of the muscular
labor of millions of serfs—tlieir involuntary
tribute to the vain pomp of long-forgotten
kings. But tlie Georgia State Orphan Home
will speak to all coining ages a people’s grati
tude to lier martyred dead. Its foundation is
laid deep ami hroad hr the popular heart. It
must rise, slowly and amidst many difficulties;
but surely and in majestic proportions. Stone
by stone, and year after year, it will tower up
towards Heaven. As time progresses, the chil
dren it lias sheltered will become men and
women, and it is hoped, by its benign in
fluences, educated and intelligent men aud
women, swelling the aggregate of virtuous
industry. These will contribute in grateful
words and liberal acts to its means of useful
ness, and thus will it grow stronger from gen
eration to generation.
The aid of county officers is especially in
voked to obtain the statistical information here
called for. Through the Receivers of Tax Re
turns, tlie Collectors of Taxes, the Ordinaries,
and the Clerks of Courts, and through such
local agencies as tlie Justices of llie Inferior
Courts may employ, this information can be
obtained.
All who fuel disposed in any way to co-oper
ate with the Trustees in this work, are re
quested to address Rev. Wm. Flynn, Secretary
aud Treasurer, Milledgeville, Ga. He is au
thorized to receive all donations and commu
nications.
James Gardner,
In behalf of the Trustees.
Augusta, July 28th, 1860.
[From the Richmond Times.
Beginning to Blush.
Evidence is not wanting to raise the belief
that each revolving year will cause a deeper
blush to mantle the Northern cheek, whenever
tue recollection of the manner in which we
were warred upon shall cause calm reflection.
Even already repentance is apparent in some
quarters. The statue of Washington, which
was carried by Hunter in triumph from Lex
ington, lias been lately returned. It was an ar
ticle which published too plainly the shame of
its captor, and this emotion, rather tliau con
science, induced its return. It could not he
dissembled like watches and spoons, nor could
its identity be so easily destroyed as plate and
jewelry, from which it was only necessary to
•rase tlio initials, sell, or melt iuto bullion. —
The stolen statue of tlie “ Father of his Coun
try ” was not n convenient or creditable pos
session ; and, although rather late in tlie day,
it was filially deemed judicious to return it.
In addition to this gratifying symptom of ap
jiarent returning conscience, we have heard of
several watches having been returned to their
owners iu the South, aud we have heard also of
one young lady who had the promise of the
restoration oi her piano. It is likewise said
that a pair of boots, stolen from a negro in
Hanover by one of Sheridan’s men, have been
returned to the owner, very neatly half-soled
and accompanied by a bill lor the cost of re
pairs.
All this, we say, indicates the growth of
sound sentiments—gradually. By the time
several European wars, by the force of exam
ple, shall have demonstrated to our Northern
neighbors that they did not exactly carry on a
civilized conflict, they will probably be ulti
mately induced to make us still further repa
ration.
Maryland.— "Forney, in a late letter, regards
Maryland as gone from the Radicals. That de
lectable individual says :
It is not doubted that, through the sinister
influence ot Montgomery Biair, Governor
Swann will appoint commissioners under tlie
registry laws, who will enroll the names of re
turned rebels In the different counties. All
hopes of a different result are given up, and now
tlie tried and trusted patriots who flattered
theriiselves that Maryland was wholly secured
to tlie Union, are preparing fora desperate
struggle in November. Trained as their enemies
are to dissimulation and accustomed to all the
arts employed to drag Marylaud out of the
Uniou, au ellort will be made to put the Radi
cals of Maryland in the wrong—to force a con
flict—if possible a conflict of arms—and thus to
furnish a pretext to fulfil the last prophesy ol
Montgomery Blair and other teachers. In other
words, if tlie Unionists of Maryland resist the
attempt ol the returned rebels to overawe and
overwhelm them at the polls, then Andrew
Johnson Will be palled upon to declare martial
law—to intercede by the army to give the rights
of suffrage to the enemies of the country, and
to put down the brave spirits who saved Mary
laud from the fate ot Virginia and South Caro
lina. You will observe that nothing has recent
ly proceeded from the White House inconsist
ent with precisely this sequel. And should it
transpire, you can go back to Andrew John
son’s 22d of February speech to find the re
sources. From that period to the present,
every step has been a new usurpation, a new
betrayal and a new proscription, and when the
plot is fully prepared for Maryland you may
anticipate the same attempt upon Missouri; but
in the latter State I think treason and its red
handed myrmidons will probably receive a
warmer welcome than that which awaits them
in Maryland.
f COMM ITSIC ATE D.J
Is it Necessary or Proper to Send our Chil
dren to Northern Schools ?
This question, Messrs. Editors, may well lie
asked just now and is deserving the notice of
the Southern press, as is a fact, many Georgia
parents are on the point of sending their sons
or daughters this fall to Northern institutions,
and when, as is equally true, some did so as
soon as the war was ended.
Is this necessary ? Tlie answer in the affir
mative means simply that there are no institu
tions of learning at the South where a safe aud
profitable education may be lnd. It means
that Northern institutions are vastly superior
to those of the South airiftliat Northern teachers
are more interested in the welfare of Southern
youths, more unselfish, purer and wiser than
our own. It means that the many patriots,
highly educated and capable though they are,
whether they have fought as men upon the
battle field, or as women braved tlie dangers
of tlie hospital, must not lie supported when
they now, as means to earn an honest liveli
hood, apply their talents to aid in tlie education
of our sous and daughters. Such propositions
would be ua many slanders upon the sense and
the patriotism of Southerners, yet wo are
under the humiliating necessity to make them.
Everything is now being done by Trustees,
Presidents, and Faculties of Southern institu
tions of learning, both male and female, to raise
up and give a home-reputation to Southern
education. Have those parents who would
rather patronize Northern schools, calmly con
sidered what they are doing * Have they ever
thought about it, that with every dollar with
which they aid Northern schools and Northern
teachers, a hundred dollars worth of discour
agement is thrown upon Southern effort V that
they increase thereby the power, wealth and
comfort ol Northern educational interest
while they drag iuto the mire that of the South ?
They can'never have seriously contemplated the
harm they do thereby to all their vital interests.
If our Southern schools were really below
the mark of Northern colleges, there might lie
a slight excuse, but none with a true friend of
his country, for he would rather give to his
children an interior education at home and do
all iu his power to raise the standard of home
education than still more discourage and lower
it by a contrary course. But this iaueied infe
riority of Southern schools, the only excuse
which such parents really have, can readily In
disproved. The so-called superiority of North
ern schools consists in liner buildings, larger
libraries, more expensive apparatus, more gau
dy exhibitions, in fact ill mere show. North
ern method of teaching is not superior nor are
Yankees’ intellects superior ; it is rather shrewd
ness and not intellect which gives cn eclat to
Northern universities. Can our Northern
triends show better statesmen, divines, lawyers,
doctors, or mathematicians, better soldiers, en
gineers or sailors? Where are the Northern
colleges that can show a brighter record of
names distinguished in tlie history of onr conn"
try than those ol William and Mary, Hampden
Sidney, Washington, Charlottesville, Chapel
llill, Columbia, Franklin, <lglethorpe and many,
many others ? These questions must be first
answered before we have a right to lower our
reputation in our own and the opinion of tlie
world.
Owing to our political institutions, the facili
ties for acquiring a purely practical education
were of course inferior at the South. But this
is now being remedied by earnest efforts and
the best talents. It will henceforth not be im
possible for a young man to have a thorough
education in applied sciences. To come fully
up to a fine standard, we see such men as Gen
eral Lee devote themselves to this dearest in
terest of their country. lie might have easily
obtained positions that would have yielded him
more leisure and money, but he placed himself
at the head of Southern education, as he was
placed at the head of our armies, to best serve
his country, and we may well say in no other
other way could he now be more useful to his
native South. Bo in other States—our very
best officers now are sought after and placed in
high positions in our colleges and universities.
Instances are not necessary t<> mention, tor
every one knows this to he the case, even those
who nevertheless purport sending their sons
away.
Whether it is pfoj.o for a Southern man to
send his son or daughter to the North for edu
cation, must he answered by our hearts. No
truly Southern man or woman can hesitate to
reply.
As regards our daughters it is a matter of
still greater importance. I do not design to
pronounce an invective against Northern charac
ter ; we ought all to know what that is; hut I
mean to say that flic fittest place to give an
education to our donghters is at the South and
the best persons to teach them are Southern
women. Think of how many there are now
that are compelled to teach in order to live ;
women who once gave tone to society, who
have enjoyed all possible advantages of educa
tion wealth could give; who now stand alone,
widowed mothers and wives, and who ask their
more fortunate sisters to aid them for a fair
equivalent! Arc you willing, mothers of the
South, that it he said of you, that to enrich nor
thern schools and make comfortable northern
teachers you permitted your own kith and kin
to suffer? for to that the issue really narrows.
There can he but one answer from the women of
the South.
The New Oottou Tax.
TIIK PROVISIONS OP THE NEW INTERNAL REV
ENUE LAW ON THE SUBJECT.

readers, we present below the first eight sec

“Oi.i> Thai.” on "tub Louisiana Revolu
tionary Movement. —Some uneasy Radicals,
who want to revolutionize the Government of
Louisiana, are, it is well known, trying to re
surrect. the dead and buried convention which
met under Gen. Ranks’ auspices in 18f>4. A
New Orleans plenipotentiary, representing
these Jacobiuy, waited on Thad. Stevens at
Washington. The report is that the envoy met
with a most ungracious reception, llis object
was to get the grim old chief to cheer the flame
with the light of bis countenance. The emis
sary urged that if this boon was denied, Louisi
ana Radicalism would remain as dead as the
defunct convention. Stevens was not moved
cither by the rhetoric or the not remarkably
prepossessing exterior of this representative of
Louisiana Jacobinism, and responded, rather
profanely hut characteristically, as follows :
“ What! revive that d—d bogus concern of
Banks’ ? Sir,'it never was legally born—it was
a bastard. 1 never would have anything to do
with it whilst alive, r.nd now that it is dead it
may stay in h—ll, where it belongs.”

Brutal Murder and Bobbery.
Eight Thousand Hollars hi Specie Stolen - Re
covery ot Eighteen Hundred Dollars unit hill
ing of one of the M urderers.
We have to record another of the frightful
outrages which have so frequently been com
mitted in this State since the close of the Avar,,
and happily to chronicle at the same time that
a swift-footed justice has, in ihe present in
stance, overtaken one of me fiends.
It appears that a Mr. Lumuel Lane, out; of the
most respected citizens of Newberry District,
had accumulated, from the sale of cotton and
from other sources, a < onsideralde sum of
money, which it was known he kept on his
premises, That opportunities to obtain this by
foul means had been carefully watched, and by
more than one person, there can Is: Imt little
doubt; but it was not until Friday that, the mo
ment arrived for the consummation of the hel
lish deed contemplated. Mr. Lane had then
retired as usual, but the heat being oppressive,
he lay down in the open air, and then- he was
found in the morning, his head split open with
an axe, life extinct, and great pools ol blood
covering the ground around.
Proceeding to the house the murderers now
ransacked the premises, the wile ol Mr. Lane
having taken flight to escape the fate that sure
ly awaited her if found, and all the gold and
silver ou the place, amounting to between eight
and nine thousand dollars, as we learn, was
carried away.
ol li.o ili:iho)|e:il il.'t c|tm-lily
spread, and in a short time parties started in
pursuit: One at least of the murderers success
fully evaded capture and r« ached Columbia on
Sunday morning, accompanied by another
negro named Aiuiistcad Cook. Accosting a
little colored boy, they here desired to know
the direction to the Charlotte depot, handing
at the same time, a silver quarter ol a dollar.
The lad noticed that one ol the negroes carried
a bag which to him seemed to be money, and
making all haste alter the panic* 101 l him, he
communicated the fact to Messrs. Starling and
Pope, two citizens living in the neighborhood.
These mounting horses started at once to
head oft'the fugitives, and overtook them in a
corn field beyond the Lunatic Asylum. The
negroes were ordered lo halt, when John
Counts alias Dawkins, one of them, look to his
heeis. Mr. Btni ling at once fired, and wounded
him slightly, but the villain kept on, when Mr.
S. discharged a second shot which brought the
negro to the ground, the bali entering his body.
He lived about fifteen minutes, but made no re
mark. The other had meanwhile surrendered
and is now' in custody. On examining the body
of the dead man, eighteen hundred and odd
dollars in specie were found sewed in his cloth
ing and concealed in his stockings mid else
where, besides the bag of specie before referred
to.
The pistol of Mr. Lane w ith bis name engrav
ed uiion it, and five or six dollars were found
on Hie person ol Arinistead. The story of the
latter is that lie was hired by the murderer to
pilot him to Columbia, and as lie, Arinistead,
had to come down on Monday he accepted the
proposition and received the reward.
ißiu h are the, fuels as they have been narrated
to us, and we give them simply as a general
statement of the affair preliminary to the pub
lication of the details.
An inquest was held on the body of the mur
derer by Coroner Walker, which was in course
all day yesterday, and much evidence was
evoked of a character which it is said involves
in the crime more tliau the persons above
named.
Later.—We learn that the jury at a late hour
this evening, came to a verdict, the substance of
which is as follows: that tiie freed man John
Counts alias Dawkins came to his death by a
pistol shot from a pistol iu Hit? hands of West
ley Starling or W. S. Pope, in attempting to
arrest him for supposed robbery.
A Paris banker was recently presented to
Prince Demidoff, who, to prevent conversation
from dropping, said: “You have a beautiful
