GEoBa1A Atlanta Southern Confedera-
cv, says of the secession movement at the
Capital Of C eorgia: "1'he outside pressure
at Alillodgeville has been great Every ar-
lance has been used to influence the Leeis-
lature to precipitatc the State of Georgia
either out Of the Union or into a revolution.
The Legislature has been flooded with dis
union documents of every shade and hue
from South Carolina All the disunionists of
the State have been at Milledgeyille, and it
is needless to say they have exhausted the
argument. Messrs Toombs, Barlow. T. h.
IL. Coob, III. X. jackson and H. l.. Bennng.
have made speeches of the most revolutiona-
ry, intlamatory aud anti.Republican charac-
ter. These gentlemen say the Government
Is failure-the Union failure. I'm other
words, they having failed to control tho Gov
ernment, have rendered verdict declaratory
of their private convictions. The people,
however, have decided one way, and Messrs,
Toombs, Barlow, Cobb, jackson and Ben
ming another. Which decision shall be SUI
preme will soon be decided.

CnNAMAN Suor BY ATAx COLLECTOR. On
Friday last, says the Mariposa Gazette a
Chinaman was killed on Bear Creek, about
five miles from Mariposa by Stewart, Deputy
Collector of Foreign Taxes. The particulars
are as follows Messrs. Nelson and Stewart,
Collectors, entered a Chnaman's camp for the
purpose of collecting taxes. The Johns, there
being two, refused to pay, and one of them
picked up rifle, with the intention of shoot
ing. Mr.. Nelson seized the gun, and after q
short struggle, wrenched it from his grasp.
Both Cinnamon then fell upon Stewart, who
after drawing his pistol, struck the Chinamsn
several blows over the head with it. But
they still clung to him, and each having a
hold on his pistol, he told them to dcsist or he
would shoot. They paid no attention to him
and in order to rid himself from their grasp
he was compelled to shoot one. The ball en-
tered the breast killing him almost instantly.
Stewart was examined before Justice of the
Peace and discharged.
ATROCITIES IN MExICo.-A correspondent OF
the Alta, writing from Mazatan under date
of Dec. 9th, says:
"Some of the atrocities committed after
the battle between the forces of Gen Vega
and those of Cajen, on the 2Sth October, are
enough to make the world shudder, and il
lustrate most perfectly the Mexican charac-
ter A large number of Caiens officers had
their wives with them, and after defeat, these
demon husbands shot their companions
about seventy of whom were found dead on
or near the field, and two of the women
were found still alive, one with ball tLro'
the body, and another with the chin shot
away, the ball passing through the side of
the neck.
The guard in charge of the prisoners, while
conducting them to Mazatlan, amused them
selves by infl.cting every imaginable species
OF torture upon their unarmed captives-
manning, shooting. and running them thro'
with the bayonet, as suited their hellish lust
for blood. The road, for the whole distance,
was strewn with the bodies of those who had
been killed in this manner 1t was reported
in the city that orders had been issued to the
guard to shoot portion of the prisoners ev-
cry half mile, and liberty given to the sol
diers to kill whOmsoever they pleased. Af-
ter the arrival of the prisoners in Mazatlin,
they We're taken out in squads of seven and
ten, until it ceased to be amusing, when the
were suffered to escape.
These atrocities were committed upon the
one side, in the name of Conservatism and
the Church. and upon the other in the name
of God and Liberalism; and in Sonora, by a
band or tribe of Indians, who cannot muster
more than two thousand warriors, but who
rule the State in spite of, all the still more
miserable MeXicans can do to prevent it,"
