Late Southern papers give summary ofthe
recent message of Governor Brown Of Georgia
to the State Legislature. The message RECON-
mends the repeal Of the substitute law and the
employment Of negroes as teamsters and IN
similar capacities in the army; that the pay Of
officers be increased twenty five per cent, and
tnat Of priyates TO twenty-five dollars per
month"; and that the salaries Of all State OH
GERS be increased; that cotton planting be re-
stricted to one-Iourth Of an acre to the hand,
and that every energy be directed to the pro-
duction Of food; that $500, 600 be appropriated
to support soldiers families that $500, goo GOO
be appropriated as military fund, and So, ooo,~
600 as a clothing fund that the militia be re.
organized so as to include all between eighteen
and sixty and that the 10th day Of December
be observed throughout the nation as day OF
fasting, humiliation, and prayer. The Govern
ernor opposes loaning the credit OF the State to
the Confederate Government or the endorse
ment Of it's bonds.

Gen. Meades army, the readers OF the tele-

contradictory, but the truth OF the matter as
regards the alleged "forward movement Is
presumed to be Just this An advance had re-

The majesty Of mud will vindicate itself no
matter whose strategy may be spoiled, and
the rain will come down without particular re-
gard to the feelings or wishes OF either Gen-
eral Meade or General Lee. Hence there
is nothing left for the public but to keep on
waiting a while longer. And if It be true
as now reported, that the Contederates num-
Der from fifty to sixty thousand effective men,
and that their position beyond the Kapldan IS
one OF great strength is not at all certain.
that the rain and the mud are not blessings IN
disguise for us,-that is to say, II General
Meades army is numerically no stronger than
it IS peculiarly supposed to be, There are
among us indeed many Of the radical persua
sion, who may not be able to see the matter IN
chat light, and who think that the POTOMAC
army IS fated to be ever stuck IN the mud,
but as the experiences Of the past, as regards
the Judgment of such people, IS not precisely
such as to inspire either General Meade, or the
General Public with much respect tor their
counsels, opinions or wishes IN military mat
ters, we conclude that their plants over thls

FROM THE STATE CAPITOL.

DOVER, March 2, 1868.
HENRY EcKEL, ESQ,
The bill to amend the
charter of the city of Wilmington in rela-
tion to qualification Of voters, was indef-
nitely postponed in the House on Wedues-
day last. This is the most dangerous piece
of legislation yet presented to the General
Assembly, so far as the interests of the tax
payers of that city are concerned. Should
it pass, the Council will have great trouble
to collect the city taxes, besides being at
tended with enormous expense. We hope,
however, that no further attempt will be
made to revive it.
The bill to enable the City Council of
Wilmington to borrow $4,000, to pay SOL
dlers bounties, was read IL the House on
Wednesday, third time and LOST. We
have not heard that there was a solitary
person who demonstrated against this mea-
sue, and yet the COpperheads have defeated
it, and thereby deprived the soldiers who
are fighting the battles of the country, oil
their just due, which the loyal Council o.
your city sought to pay them. With
out this act the Council cannot borrow the
sum necessary to pay the promised amount
TO the volunteers. The men who voted
against it, would not have been affected in G
pecunlary point of view and no other rea-
son can be adduced for the act, save thai
the Democratic members Of the Genera
Assembly, are in sympathy with secession
and traitors, and will not vote to give on,
cent to our brave Delaware volunteers
These gentlemen too make professions o
loyalty, but this last infamous act toward
our country's brave defenders. has complete
ly unmasked them, and will bring down up
on their heads the contempt of every maj
in the State who loves his country

The steamer Africa, from Queenstown on
the 18th ult., is at New York. Earl Russell
had officially declined the throne of Greece,
in the name of Queen Victoria, on behalf of
Prince Alfred, for diplomatic and other pow
erful reasons. The news from Poland is not
of much Importance, but is of a very inter
esting character, Victor Hugo, Garibaldi
and Prince Czartoriski had written in sup
port of the cause of the struggling people.
Official reports provo that the battle of
Wengrow was very sanguinary affair, both
to the Russians and Poles. Some French
students had been arrested for cheering in
Paris for the cause of the Poles. Austria
is accused by some parties of having en-
couraged the instruction in Poland. Prus
STA sympathised with Russia very cordially
in the crisis.
Gen. Foster has returned to Newbern, ant
is preparing for another expedition.
Adyices from Cairo state that there is
rumor aaoat there, that the Vicksburg cana
is finished, and that several gunboats hay
gone through to attack Port Hudson.
The British steamer Petrol, ut Hampton
Roads from Charleston, reports that the IT
bells have built strong distractions acro'
the harbor, which is filled with torpedoe
to blow up the Federal vessels.
The capture of the Queen of the West
fully confirmed, but she made more glor

In Yesterdays journal we gave an ac-
count of u coroncr's inquest, held upon
the body of Augustus G. Brodhead, who
died Monday night with epileptic conynl-
sions.
A few years ago Brodhead, then in the
prime of vigorous manhood, and wearing
upon the dashing artillery uniform of the
British service several royal medals, which
he had earned by bravery and success,
formed the acquaintance of a wealthy
baroness of the FACET family, one of the
most aristocratic houses of England. That
acquaintance Immediately became love
match, and the unreenting opposition Of
her family only served to render it run
away match. The happy couple spent
their honeymoon upon the continent, visi-
ted Italy, Switzerland and the Egyptian
pyramids, and two years ago came to llli-
nois and purchased farm near Clifton
Iroquois county.
Brodhcad was as ignorant of agrcultu-
raj science as he was proficient in that OF
gunnery and projectilcs. And when tC
tits serious impeachment is added a deep
seated habit of dissipation inordnate
fondncss for the wine.cup-which his free
and easy life had engendered, and whicl
