In Favor OF o Reconstruction Of the

NEW YORK. March q.

NEW 1ORk, March y.
The Georgia Southern Union has come out
in favor OF a reconstruction Of the old Union.
The Atlanta (Ga) Conlederacy thus greets
the proposal OF the Southern Union: "We
advise the editor Mr.. Murray 10 20 to New
England, believing him TO he unfriendly to the
country in which he lives, aud that Massachu-
sets is the only suitable place for him. He is
unworthy Of residence in the Confederacy.
The sooner he goes the better for him. Better
leave at once and be consistent before being
invited TO 60. In Massachusetts he will be
welcomed by great numbers of people of his
own way Of thinking and be made hero Of
He will be feted and Toasted and find out his
own real consequence. The conservatives
whom he loves, and not the abolitionists, whom
he affects to despise, will do all this for him.
There are fewer abolitionists in Massachusetts,
than reconstructionists in Georgia Massa-
chusetts Is the very place for him-far more
congenial than any cotton State"

THE COURT MARTIAL.-This military body
now convened In this city, will probably be
busy for some weeks. So far as we can learn,
the desertion cases before the court are most
ly cases of absence without leave, beyond fur
Tough. To-day, Eben M. Field of windham,
Of Co. F, 7th Maine regiment, will probably
be tried for desertion in face of the enemy
During the seven days fight before Richmond,
Field left his company and returned to his
home in Windham, in this State, where he was
married about six weeks ago. The defense,
we understand, will be that such desertion is
not the crime contemplated by law; and. il so,
1t was mitigated on the ground that Field had
been unable to do duty for weeks previous
thereto, and has been sick since his arrival
home. Should Field establish these facts, the
sentence Of tho Court will be less severe in
case they find him guilty.
