From Georgia and Mississippi.

MILLEDGEvILLE, Oct. 28.-Gov. johnson
sent message to the State Convention to-
day, strongly urging the reputation of the
State war debt.
The Mississippi Legislature have appointed
joint committee to petition President John
son to pardon Jacob Thompson. The House
invited Governor Clark to address them, but
he declined on the ground of being pa
rolled prisoner, but he says that he trusts soon
to see Mississippi restored to the free enjoy
ment of equal political rights with her sister
States and under the flag of the Union.
There has been difficulty of some duration
between Captain Peck, Provost Marshal OF
the Freedmen's Bureau of Copiath county,
Mississippi, and Col. Drury Brown, the Sheriff
of the county, in which Governor Sharkey and
the civil courts had interfered, which resulted
in Captain Peck, who had been sent to Jail by
the court, appealing to General Osterhaus,
who sent back the negro troops to the county
whence they had been withdrawn, taking pos
session of the Jail and released Capt. Peck,
and placing the county under close military
surveillance.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The $40 conversion
bonds are issued from the Treasury Depart
ment as rapidly as they can be printed. A
million day of the denomination of 81 900
are now delivered. Those for $500 and 500
will be ready in very few days. Registered
bonds for $4,000 will be issued according to
the request of the subscribers.
The Department was to-day preparing to
Immediately issue U. S. bonds, amounting to
S640,O0o, to the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany-Eastern Division, or at the rate of
$4,000 mile in accordance with the law Of
Congress, forty miles of the road having been
completed. In addition to this aid by the
Government, certain quantities of land are to
be given as the surveys proceed and the road
progresses.
Mr. J. d. Lanier. the well known banker Of
New York, who recently returned from Eu-
rope, whittier he went some time ago on a
confidential mission for the Government in
connection with National finances, yesterday
had an interview with the Secretary of the
Treasury, and to whom he submitted verbal
report of the results of his mission. Mr.. La
nier everywhere found the best feeling pre-
vailing in financial circles with reference to
the United States, particularly on the Cont
nent, and great confidence in our public secu-
rites. At Frankfort on-the Maine. he ad-
dressed, at length, large meeting of capital
lists, embracing representatives from nearly
every leading house in Germany.

rebellion was matter of equal surprise and
congratulation, and the demonstration made
of the power and wealth of the North, a sub
ject of universal admiration. But, the war
being ended, the expectation was confidently
expressed by the European holders of our Sc
curities that we would Immediately commence
return toward specie payments, however
gradual the progress in such direction might
be. Such step, it was represented, was alb
solutely necessary to the maintenance of con-
fdence in our securities, and in the policy of
the Government. The ability of the country
to bear all the burdens of the war was not
questioned, especially the rapid progress of
the work of reconstruction, which bids fair
soon to restore political and social
unity to every portion Of the country, with
wise and correct policy for our securities, not
only on the Continent, but in England, where
our military successes were fast opening the
eyes of their people to the value of our bonds.
But the feeling against any further increase,
and in favor of steady contraction of the
currency, was universally expressed as the
sole condition on which our credit abroad
could be maintained. 1t is understood that
the views reported by Mr.. Lanier were beauti-
fully responded to both by the President and
the Secretary of the Treasury.

petition of Thomas Anderson VS.. John W..
