LalegrOm Dixie Arrival Of a PrOmi
aae Hent Refugee.


We Yesterday received a call from
JozErHus CAMr, late editor OF the Allan
Il, Confederacy, bat still more lately OF
the Georgia Times, and cousin of A.
$ CAnP, we'll known former Journal
istof this city. Mr CAMF, after having
been connected for long time with
Adanta papers, proposed TO write an
article favoring the restoration OF the
Union, but his partners would not
allow II IA, the paper, and he therefore
purchased The Georgia Times, and COM
meneed advocating tie restoration OF
the mon bat as soon as this fact be-
came KNOWS At Richmond, JEFF DAVIS
issued an order for his arrest, but he
learned of their r'oeeeding, and made
his escape The article which gave Of
tense appeared about four weeks since.
Mr.. CAMP IS the clerk of the House OF
Representatives, Of the State of Georgia.
and as such was wsall acquainted with
the views OF members of the legisls-
tire and with those of Governor
Bhowx. with whom he is on terms Of
personal intimacy.
Ma. CAMr states that universal des-
pondency exists throughout the south
at least three fourths Of the people be-
lieying that, as there is no hope for the
success Of the COnfederaey, the sooner
thoy return to the Union the better
rs cach day of hostility increases
the difficulties which surround the
making Of peace, But it Is impossible,
at present. for this sentiment to become
demonstrativo. JECF DAVIS, he says, is
the greatest tyrant living and wher
ever his power extends there is neither
freedom Of speech, nor freedom of per
son and before return TO the Union
Is possible the rebel armie must be dis
persed lie regards HoOD's force no
longer formidable, in a military point
of view; it is small in numbers, and is
greatly demoralized but it is yet suf-
iciently strong 10 intimidate unarmed
people; especially ~ the male portion
Of these people consists Of only decrep
Il old men, or young boys-eyery one
capable OF bearing srrns having been
sent To the army, by the conscripting

they have no, hope that there 5 not
sufficient vitality in the Oonfesieracy TO
keep it alive They therefore, will
look to eventaal submission in case OF
the reelection % Mr. LINCOLN; and
since the b,n OF Atlanta, they regard
that a. certain and they are. therefore,
very anxious about the terms ON which
they would be allowed 60 resume their
citizenship
lie adds That Gov BRoWS IS for a |
reconstruction OF the Union he knows
dis, having recently conversed with |
hith on that subject II was because
the Governor looked upon the cause of
the Confe'lcraey as hopeless, that he
had recalled The militia They had |
been summoned 70 the field for home
defence but when Atlanta was cap
tured the Key was unlocked, and |
Georgia was at the mercy Of sarRuAx |
aud therefore Hey eould avail nothing, |
aud the Governor believed that they |
woald be more valuable ~ Farmers than |
soldiers
