THE FEELING IN THE SOUVI.

The feeling in the Southern States, though natu-
ral, is by no means satisfactory to contemplate.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says :—" A legal gentleman of this city,
who has recently been to Georgia on business, and
while there was in close professional relations with
Toombs, Stephens, Ben Hill, and other Rebel
leaders, declares that these men and the great body
of the whites are, so far as Georgia is concerned,
more bitterly hostile towards the Government and
loyal States than ever, if that be possible. The spirit
of violence reigns supreme, though now manifesting
itself entirely in such acts as the recent assassins'
dons, and not in mobs and riots, as was the case
last fall. So bitter is this hostile spirit that the
gentleman referred to, who was till recently a high
legal officer of the Government, believes that, in
the event of a foreign war, a large majority of the
Georgia whites would not hesitate to join the
enemy, if there should be an attempt to invade
the country. He regards the feeling as one of
bitter, blind, implacable hatred to the Republic,
which would not stop at any means to gratify itself.
Most of the pro-rebel leaders believe that in some
form they will yet secure the substance, if not the
name, of slavery, and with this hope are holding 03
to their lands. Many are purchasing largely. Ben,
Hill is reported to have recently bought a tract 0I
5,000 acres in South-west Georgia. The above 15
from a careful source, but is given merely as the
statement of the gentleman referred to." The lately
appointed coloured postmaster at Andersonville has
been compelled through persecution to relinqmsh
his commission. Among his persecutors was ;aid
to be the superintendent of the National Cemetery'
where 13,000 Union soldiers lie buried, and so bitter
is the prejudice that although the Georgians re-
framed from shooting him they preferred riding tee
miles to procure their letters than to receive there
from the hands of a negro. But there has been
shooting in the State. The murder of the 11°''
Joseph Adkins, Senator, from Warren Co., can only
be ascribed to the bad feeling excited by his desire
to promote the welfare of the slave. He had bee°
to Washington, in company with the Georgia (tele:
gation, which attempted to gain protection for th°
persecuted Union men of the State. On his return
he was persuaded to remain in Augusta, as it Was
thought unsafe for him to return home ; but, (let
sirens of rejoining his family, he determined a1t5,9
to brave the consequence. At Dearing Station, '0
miles from Augusta, he met his buggy and ne,,g!*a,
driver, and proceeded towards his house, 12 miles u/
taut ; when, within three miles of his residence,
white man came out of the woods and approachecllll.lllo;
Mr. Adkins, recognizing him, stopped and wished hiot
"good morning," when the murderer, wished,
uttering a word, presented his pistol and r.lll,
shooting the old man to the heart, killing him
stantly. The negro, leaving the buggy in the r°P.i:
ran to convey the sad news to his wife and ten chit-
,
dren, eight of whom are daughters. No other trip
a political motive can be assigned for the do,star„lo
act. Edwin Belcher, the coloured Assessor for er
111th District of Georgia, wrote to Mr. Sue lo
(dated Augusta, May 14) that a coloured man
indiscreetly remarked that he knew who killed 'OO
Adkins paid for it with his life. Another 1111113
at
expelled member of the Legislature, was killer,
his home in Jefferson County. Mr. Belcher vo
tinues—" The blood of men who were slain for a
other cause than that they were trying to &Teo
poor degraded race out of the dark abyss in w the
an inhuman servitude had left them cry out torder
nation for protection to the living. Every rol
.„,
is saddled upon some poor, ignorant coloured. 070
their
against Rebel papers continue their malicious Orloff
against me. Personally I care nothing for or.
abuse, but it arouses the evil passions of the &.,133..ist-
derers that infest my district against anyants." The Macon (Georgia) Union of the I.;ed
May, reports that information had been reeel
that Radford C. Rhodes, of Warren C°e.13,,01
had been killed at Warrentown. Letters front too
place tell of repeated outrages by the Ku-01' es,
Republicans, both white and black. 1n "T°Y.arley.
hero an attempt was made to ass:tsiinate the i.-05
Mr. Spilman, PreSiding Elder of the Anger3,ll,.
District of the Methodist Episcopal Church. 're
Spilman, by appointment, had preached to at3l.'-G
congregation in Waynesboro with such effec ttbe
a large body dissolved the conneetioa vii°, the
Southern Methodists. This so exasperate', to
Southern " Christians" that they determinebotel
have h's life, but discovered, on searching.twit
at midnight,- that he had escaped. It appears ato
some friendly negroes had aided Mr. j
ti,bo

murderers followed him. Pistols were leve' the
