Terrible State OF Affairs In North.Geossia.
correspondent of the Atlanta Intslligsncsr,
writing to that paper under date Of Jan. 21st says
that having recently passed through the upper
counties of Milton, Cherokee, Barlow, Gordon,
Murray, Pickens and Whitfield, he has found the
people in . most destitute condition, and con-
stantly ravsged by bands Of marauders of every
class and description. These bands are generally
made up from scouts and deserters from the army,
who arc eating up the substance of tho people, pill.
laying their farms, and extorting their money from
them There are only two bona Jads Confederate
companies in that whole section.
One so-calIed COL McCollum had pressed the
stock of widow, whose husband bad been killed
in Virginia. and she, in order to prove her loyalty
and recover her stolen cattle, was compelled to fol-
low him and his gang bare.footed over the ice and
hunt up hsr witnesses. Nor was this an exception,
many women were seen searching for their stolen
stock.
On the 4th of JAN, Judge Earnest was at Whit
field Court house and distributed So 900 to soldiers
families. One Captain Colquitt deserter from
the 18th Texas cavalry aided by his gang of deser-
ters from the same dnd the 9Th Texas cavalry, rob-
bed tie people of that amount, and one widow lady
especially Of $3.50 ip gold and silver.
The correspondent appeals for aid to Gov. Brown
and the. Confederate authorities. If bis accounts
be true the state of sars in that poTton of GeOr-
gia is terrible indeed.

another effort to convince the rebel leaders that
further persistence in rebellion is useless and that
the constant succession of disasters which has fall

that the end must be reached soon, and that it is
better to make the best terms possible now than to
maintain their present attitude until their military
power IS entirely destroyed"

US under date the 2sth that another peace mission
is probably on foot We give these rumors for
what they are worth. We fear, however, that the

Negro seldiefs--The Question Disposed OF.
Tho Confederate Senate, on yesterday, removed
the injunction of secrecy from the proceedings on
the Senate bill, introduced by Mr.. BrowA of Mis-
sissppi, to provide for raising two hundred thou
sand negro troops. It appears that the bill was
lost in the Senate on Tuesday, the 21st instant by
= vote of eleven to ten. Those who voted for an
indefinite postponement of the bill-which amounts
to its defeat-wsre Messrs. Baker, Barnwsll, Caper
ton, Garland, Graham, Hunter, johnson of Georgia,
johnson of Missouri, Maxwell, Orr ano Wigfall.
Those who voted in the negative were Messrs.
Brown, Burnett, Haynes Henry, Oldham, Semmes,
Simms, Vest Walker and Watson.
In official circles, this is considered as disposmg
Of the question of putting negro soldiers into our
armies finally. The House negro soldier bill, which
is very similar to the Senate bill, has not been and
it is now believed will net be acted upon. by the
Senats.-Richmsnd Di.patch, Feb. oath.
1t seems that the House has since passed \ bill
to pnt negroes in the army and the Richmond
Sentinel is endeavoring to induce one d the sena-
tors from Virginia or South Carolina to change

passage. We trust the Senate will stand 6rm.-
No greater calamity could befall the Confederacy
than the adoption of such measure Its adoption
would lead to the withdrawal at once o. number OF

nessee, has uncorked the Rebel Walls OF
wrath upon his head, and the ''man Of

Come, you cowardly rascals and mali
cious traitors, try your hands upon US,
in connection with some new and greater
charges Can't you, with your large
corruption fund, bride some one to swear
that we have robbed bank: Can't you
convict us of horse stealing: Prove
counterfeiting upon US. You have not
made out a case plain enough to keep
loyal men from supporting us for Cover
nor and If something is not done we
really expect to be elected. And when
these rascals are convicted by our courts
of high crimes, and sent to the peniten
tiary, we may be slow to pardon them
out.
