The Savannah Herald has late advices from
Augusta, Ga. The country between Savan-
nah and Augusta is filled with rebel paroled
soldiers returning to their homes.
Nearly all the planters have put in large
amounts Of seed, mostly corn, rye and vege-
tables. Some have planted cotton, the first in
four years. But few slaves have skedaddled.
Much grief and excitement was caused in
Augusta by the announcement that Davis was
captured. 81 6saassas
A wagon containing $243O00 in specie, be-
longing to the rebel government was found in
a by-way, and turned over to Gen. MolneaHx.
Gen. Gilmore has issued proclamation de-
claring null and void the procamations issued
by the selfstyled Governors Of South Caro-
lima, Georgia and Florida, also declaring that
the people of the black race are free citizens Of
the United States, and will be protected in the
enjoyment of their freedom, and the fruits OF
their industry by the government. a
Is Gen. Wilson in letter to the rebel Cover
nor Brown, of Georgia, who had complained
of the collapse of the currency, and great des
utution OF provisions among the people, says
he is instructed by the President to say to him
that these evils were caused by treason, insur-
rection and rebellion against the laws OF the
United States, melted and carried on for the
last four years by you and your confederate
rebels and traitors, who alone are responsible
for the waste, destitution and want now exist
ing in that State, and what you call the results
which the fortunes of war have imposed upon
the people of Georgia, and all the loss and woe
they have suffered, are charged upon you and
your confederate rebels, who, usurping author
ity, provoked war to the extremity, until com
PEELED to lay down your arms and accept the
Just penalty of the crimes of treason and re
belion-that the restoration of pe1ce and or
der cannot be trusted to rebels and traitors.
E7That the persons who melted the war and
carried it on will not Be allowed to assemble
at the call Of their accomplices to act again al
Legislature of the State, and again usurp 1T
authority and franchises. Those. who have
caused so much woe will not be allowed power
again to set on foot fresh acts of secession an(
rebellion. In calling the Legislature togethe
again without permission of the President, vol
have perpetrated fresh crime that will b,
dealt with accordingly, and il any person pre-
sumes TO answer or acknowledge your cali h,
will be Immediately arrested.

on Monday by the steamer ST. Marks, that re-
