The -tate of Affairs in the South.
We bed an interview yesterday with a gen
tleman who 1 It Savannah, Georgia, on Mon
day, the 22d tont., from whom we learned some
Interesting facts in relation to the state o al
fairs in the South. At that time only the first
reports of the battle of Bull Run bad been
received there, and there was no great disponi
Mon to rtj Ice over the resnit. The general
feeling was that it was virtually a drawn battle,
and as Georgta had best one of her generals,
in the p-raon of General FRANCIS BARTOW, of
Savannah; Florida another, in the person of
Gacertl JouNSTON, (not the General Jot:wren
who commanded at Harper's Ferry`;) and
Its Gun. Bt.r., Col; WADP. HAMPTON ' of South
Carolina, and 001. JaoksoN, besides a large
number of the rank and tile of' the Southern
army, were killed and many wounded, there
was but little iotultation over> their victory.
When be arrivsd at Atlanta, news of the ra.
pid retreat of our army bad been received,
and cans• d mach rej , fting, and in Tennessee
the same
. 6101111_ spirit was evinced. In
Kentucky the Union men bore tip bravely
against the news of our disaster, and they
proudly boasted th it the 'United States Go
vernment WWI strong enough to stand a d ,zett
an :h defeats, without being destroyed or sen
sibly weakened.
He states that the news of Gen. lifeCtirt
zart's victories in Western Virginia bad caused
much depression among the insurgents of
Georgia;„ and that they particularly regretted
the death of Gan. GLZHSTT, and the destruc
tion of his army, as considerable body of
the crack troops of that State, who bad been
ol,idered by their friends , unconquerable,
had been under his command
lie
coieiblisrs the great error of the
North ha's been in underrating the strength of
the Southern forces in Virginia. He has seen
reliable statements showing that previous to
the late battle they had 185.000 met) under
arms in that State, and since then further re
inforeements have been - sent forward. 'I hey
eonsltier Virginia the battle ground, and
nowsm, Cone expressed tht; general convic
tiou when he declared, recently, in Atte:eta,
that , if the insurgents could not retain posses
Sion ot Virginia, their whole cause was lost.
There are. groat ' , Hurts now being made to
.recruit more soldiers, but they meet with
comp irativelY httle•success. Nearly alt‘the
good 'visitable fighting material of the South
has already been sent forward, and those
whom they are now trying to force into the
asrvice have bat little sympathy with their
cause, and would prefer either not to fight at
all, or to atiatsin the Union. There is also
groat ddfl inky in supplying with arms, muni
tions, and equipments their new troops.
There will be a great falling off in the cot
ton crop of the South, this year—at least one
fourth. The planters are undecided as to the
best plan .of disposing of it. Some advise
them to prepare it as usual, and deposit large
quantities of it at New Orleans. Others are
opposed to this scheme, because, as they al
lege, the acetainlation of such a stock of that
precious article would prove an irresistible
temptation to Northern cupidity, and that the
Ireton army wauld probably capture it. They
therefore say that for the present it Should

state, an the plantation& The, eff trt to se

loan meets with moderate success. The-large
planters of Georgia appear to be willing to
Subscribe freely, as they are animated by such
an intense hatred of the North, that- they are
ready to sacrifice everything they possess to
promote the success of the lesnrgent army.
They tray.they would much rather be subject*
of Great Britain than citizens of the United
States. But the small planters have little or
no faith in the Confederate bonds, aid many

the proposed loin.
It is said . that in the northern part of the
State there is still astrong Union sentiment.
At Atlanta a soldier, who had been visiting
that section on a furlough, declared when he
heard a man hurrah for Jan Davts, that be
had lately seen a good many Georgians who

fearful that he may in some way expose or
betray bim. •
Tao negroes generally are "sullen and re

arca them; and there is but little fear expressed
of an insurrection, although among setae per
sons such apprehensions exist. Our informant
illustrated the cautious concealment of their
real feelings by a remark of a sieve of whom
he asked, ti What do you negrotta think of all

formation` of companies and the march ot

was, * 6 Can't say, massa, if we do know any
thing,' or the white people will cut off our
heeds." '
Previous to the attack on Fort Sumpter,
the oonvictioti was almost universal in
Georgia that the Union would be
,recon-
Mulcted. The Montgomery Government was
regarded as simply a temporary affsir, which
Was resorted to tor the' purAse of obtaining
from the North such concessions as the ultra
South.- rn politicians demanded, and it was
this view ol it, more than anything else, which
led many men to favor the Secession move
ment, as only an adroit ptilitical marioativre,.
that w uli result, not in a final separation or
the Union, but merely in new, guarantees to
the South. Since the war has fairly com
menced, however, many who fora long period
defended the Union, have become the most
bluer, and proscriptive Secessionists, the
cheep being caused, in some instances, by a
desire to - secure their personal safety, and in
others, perhaps, by a sincere change of views.

A Park for Philadelphaa. •

as Lemon mu is al7ont to borne property
of the city, and will beasteOUt and graded as
a cow:tit:3oot part.4l6nr beautiful park. We
have all ale: ol oMdered that there sui BO

rubbish and dilapidated boat-houses covered
these acres it was out of all question for us to
make the Park what the city demands it should
be. We think, nevertheless, that - $55,000 is a
large Buru for the city to-pay, and.while we are
anxious to see the improvement consummated,
we may be permitted - to suggest to Councils
the propriety of a rigid examination of the
contract.
While speakingof this we may also allude
to the necessity which exists for an enlarge
ment of the Fairmount Park. There should
be at least six hundred acres laid out on both
banks of the Satinylkill as a place of public
resort for our people. We do not• see why.
Scab afield, SchuylP.ill Eleights. andtbat beau

the river, including Peters' Farm, and ending
at Columbia bridge, should not be dedicated
forever to the people for their health andirom.
fort. Nor do we see why the sparsely-built
acres on the eastern bank might not also be
purchaaed and enclosed as far north as Laurel
To do this would cost a large sum ofmoney
But it should be done at arty reasonable ex
penile, and that, too; within a- brief apace of
time. A million dollars this year would do,
for the comfort and pleasure of Plailagelphia
what ten millions wilt fall to do when our
children are the fathers of a new generation.
it from Chestnut street to Girard avenue,
west of Broad street, had been laid ont as a
park a century since, Philadelphia would be :a
more beautiful city to day.--oar western sub
urbs would be densely built trade would
have been kept , in its old southeastern limits:—
South street" would be the centre of traffic,
and large warehouses would extend over the
(Ands. of the Neck where apmtsmenmow hunt
or game, and mad lams are covered with
larg." crop& of vegetables.
We have evraordinary natural.advantages
for Wel:MO . ll , g a Park In Philadelpola.'We
know Ono American city, Brooklyn,'Perbapa,
excepted, where Nature does so much for the
designer. The cities of Boston, Chicago, Cin
cinnaii, New Orleans, Charleston, Baltimore
and Pittsburg are all surrounded with many
disadirantages. Washington is not much
more than a great park incorporated Into a
city. New York has the largest and prettiest
park on the continent. Built in the heart et
Manhattan island, on a sterile and fiat soli and
with scarcely a Single natural beauty, ilia in
tensely artificial. We ramble over'artitlcial
hill*, stroll through artificial valley* grow sen
timental under artificial grottoes; listen to the
murmur of artificial cascades, and look at the
swans disporting in an artificial lake which is
supplied by streams of hydrant water, and has
its inlet and outlet through aubterranean pipes.
And yet, this beautiful and magnificent im
provement, literally created by the patience
and capital of New York, is an honor to the,
country and an ornament to the Empire City.
We need hardly say how it is ID Philadel
phia. Take almost any one of our railway cars,
and a h elf hour will open up to us beauties of
scenery and civilization which , will live forever
in the song of the poet and on:the canvas of
the painter. The flewery banks of the Schuyl
kill are as bright to the eye as when Mooaz
roved along them a tunelnl wanderer. it
seems as if we had only to fence in these acres
t have a Park which would do credit to Phila
delphia, and bring upon our memory the bless
ings of those who.are to come. We have.hills
and.dales, and broad lawns, and majestic trees,
and a river bank covered with a rugged
scenery. We have a river broad enough to be
picturesque, and yet narrow enough to be
spanned by light and graceful bridges. All
We want is the will on the part of these who
govern.
A. few years more, and tbese advantages
will bave passed away. Private enterprise

scape and stream. I:lntess vre enthrone Nature
in these groves so that she may be worshipped
for alt tune,. the compass of the surveyor,
the spade of the laborer, and the trowel of
the mason, will accomplish her downfall.
Cities grow rapidly, and Philadelphia has
grown rapidly among cities. There are smart,
active men among us, who would think they
were quizzed if you called them old, who well
remember when blackbirds were shot within
tour furlongs. of the State Rouse, and when
t6e; corner or Broad and Spring Garden streeUi
wis a long walk from the city. Forty years
ago maiefactors were executed away from our
suburbs;. now the site of those executions is
the centre of a dense and busy popnla ion.
Be will be a practical benefactor of Phila
delphia who gives ua a Park, or systematizes
and agitates the legislation which will give it
to us. Fairmount Park is very beautiful and
rather romantic, but ten minutes' walk will
take n• from the entrance to the exit. Wiib
the exception of a large field for drilling, and
a short walk along the river-side, there is
nothing in the . Park more than ordinarily at
tractive. There is no it ramble" like that in
Central:Park, where yon can lose yourself in
an endless succession of arbors; grottoes, neat
walks, rippling rivulets, romantic views, and
glittering cascades —where the eye is con.
stantly feasted with new and neexpected beau
ties, and where Nature has yielded to Art her
choicest treasures. A few beds of flowers- - a
few 'paths p iinfully straight and narrow—a
number of unfinished walks and drives—a
dozen or two benches, and a fountain • which
plays from a singular contrivance of stones
and weeds, to the amazement qt- the visitors
and, the amusement of the goldlish—an old
faahioned mansion, which might have been
painted before the Revolution, and a large
dog, which can serve neither an ornamental
nor useful purpose,-these are the attractions
of Fairmount Park. Surely it is a foolish
economy which permits this to be. The peo
pie;of Philadelphia.want a Park which wilt be
worthy of the second city of the Union, and
they are willing to pay two or three millions

that be entertains a profound contempt tor

Statement of a Georgia Union Man
The following statement has been fate:flailed 1
to us by a gentleman from Georgia, who ar
rived in this city from that ,State yesterday,
and who was compelled to' leave there by a
vigilance committee:
Those who have friends residing in the seceded
States will, on reading the following tromilunida•
lion, be enabled to form an opinion of the fiery
ordeal through wilier all Northerners, residing in
the South, are passing at present.
No language oan portray the intensity and bit
terneas of the 'hate with which every person and
thing, is regarded in the seceded South, where any
affiliation with the North,.by business sympathy or
family ties, ts brainy degree simpeoted.
Few men live either North or South who have
Dereanally peetioipated less itrthe recent political
strife than the,writer. Yet, Rattle reader edit see,
Southern Vengeance has fallen upon him hotly anti
heavily :,
By birth, an Irishman ;, butfor thirteen years a
resident -of the totted state!, I have resided in
Midele,Georgia eight.
By profession a physician, I soon succeeded in ao
.quiring a large and lucrative practice, and fatted
in the duties of my profeesion', and =the case of 'a
young and interesting family, ample and congenial
employment of time and talents ; batten I never
oared for politics—never went to an elution.
Quiet anti retiring as I have been, I yet had the
m efortune of havingoommitted the dark, damning
critic of , treason against the high sovereignty of
the Coifed traits States,
Yes, reader, I had the good luck of taking with"
me to Georgia , as wife , a native , of New York.
What should you think, reader, had you been
forced to leave behind you the wife of Your,hosom
—that woman , whose love • was more precious to
yon than all earth's treasures? How should rat
feel in leaving four prattling, innocent ohildren,
the cfftpritie of an affection than which nothing
truer, deeper, holier, ever bound man to woman?
And yet, reader, I am penning these lines as a
persecuted outcast in l'hiladelphia today, while
wife antichildren, to'eue whose lightest pang I
would: sacrifice a thousarld lives, are ' ,p,way, away
down in Georgia, in ; the hands of, their and My,
ices; the true wife, and weeping mother, trying to
make the anxious little- mu believe that papa
will comeback again
Of course you imagine that I must . have com
mitted some enormous crime. Yrs, I hid themid '
fortune to have made, in the latter part , of, last
triarch,s trip to New York to - see a fatherdu law, '
reported dying`- •
Seoeseion was then rampant ill Georgia. and my
trip North awikened suspicion. I noticed that
fact, and though, of course, anxious , to hear from
an invalided parent, I forbore writing say more

sacrifice. Pleithermyself nor wife knows , as yet
whethether father is dead or living,
It is true that,- owning property in the South-to
the antountof $4 000, I expressed myself in private
conversations opposed tothe secession of the. South
ern Statist, feeling that such, a :retiree would-be
already ruinous to those States, and indireotly so
to all owners of property there residing“.My opin
ions were expressed openly, but in ffonsively ' I
did not even 'go the leng'h of attending the oleo

true that I refitted to apt as s'u ' rgeon to aoi

Such was the sum total of my offence, and grin

The jaint restitutions 'approving the aoti of the
President were taken up- .
Mr. J 01111,024, of Tennessee, proceeded to speak
at length in favor of the rewnutions. He said he
was unwilling to let the Senate' adjourn without
saying something of the present state of affairs.
On our return here we find ourselves in the midst
of a civil war, which seems to be progressive, with
not much hope ; of a speedy termination It ,
seemed to him tat the Government had reached
ems of three periods which all governments mast '
pass through : First They have to pass the ordeal
.to establish their independence Tbia Govern
passed that in the war of the Revolution
.Next, after having obtained their independence
and token a position among nations, then thoy
must maintain themselves agai nst foreign Powers
and foes. This Government 'passed :hat ordeal
In 1812 There is smother ordeal, when the
Government has to contend .against internal foes
We are now In the. midst ot . this third ordeal.
The struggle ,now is whether the Government is
capable of maintaining its existence against trai
tors to the Constitution of the' countr y. This is
the problem now before our people e trusted,
and end a perfect oonlidenoe that the Government
would amertessfolly peas this ordeal ; but the time
had arrived when the energies of the people most
be Put forth. and there must be union anti concert
‘offistt on. It bad been argued that if weaproceed
we will be in great danger of a Diotatorthip, and
that the character and genius of our Government
.widths wholly changed It is argued that this is
an attempt to change the. nauthe and inetittrione of
the
,Gov.racoent Ilie re erred to Mr Brooklet
ridge's speech ] We erre, in an effort to ehaoge
the Government bat differ as M the parties trying
to make the change It lea grunt, now whether
the people shall rale, 'and •have a ,Government
based on intelligence, integrity, and purity of the
people There is an effort being-made, and it is
the result of a long-oontemplated plan, to over
threw the inetinetions thiefiovernment
He referred again to Mr Breckinndge'e speech,
when be said that Washington carried the country
through the Revolution without a suspension of
the habeas corpus; but President L moth could
not carry nn the Government three months with
Cut it .-He oited a ease during the war of the Re
volution. when forty. eitizens wirecteken and im- -
prisozed eight menthe, sod the soldiers refused to
deliver them up on a writ of habeas oorpus, and
the' Legislature of Pennsylvania • indemnified the
'effete/a for the suspension of the.walt He referred
to the case of Generalartioksion at:New. Orleans as
a precedent for eetabishing martial law in ease of
an emergency. Had . Gen. Jackson refused to put
'the city under martial- law and thus lost the
Goverement, he ought to have 'lost his head.
The President was obliged to -sot as he did
to save the Government. and this is a very
unpropitious time to assail the Government,
when armed bands of traitors are so et .11y
in
-the field, trying to overthrow it. The increase
of the army and navy was , juititied by the great
plea of necessity. But how does the ease stand
now, when we are called.on to support the'Govern
ment ? Who will And-fault with the President for
'doing just wait. Congress might to do t Why-not
come forward and support the Government? No!
The fast is too apparent that we bad enemies to the ,
Government here' last winter, and .In. my opinion
we have got enemies of theGovernesent bare now—
tbat we have got these here who make long piths
'tie' Speeches in favor of oompromise. But the Sena
6r-from California, Mr. Latham, showed concoct.
'lively that the thing tie traitors most feared last
year was Compromise. and a great ilfirt was made
to get out of Congress before the compromise could
be made.
The argument has been made that the free
Stites would get the power and then amend the
Constitution so as to destroy the institution of
slavery ; hence the South must not wait till the
fatal day came. Then eight States withdrew, and
we reached a point when the free States had the
major( y and the power to emend.the Constitution
mess to overthrow the institution of slavery Now
what was done then? ''Why, we passed an amend•
meat to the Constita ion that no amendment should
'be "made to the Constitntim that would give any
power to legislate on the subject of slavery Talk
about compromiee How can we get any gua
rantee more binding than that ?' This was done
wtten the free States had the power, and it
places slavery completely - beyond the control of
Congress. What more can be asked ? Why
don't the States who talk of romnromise come for
ward and accept thiticffer ? But no ! instead of
I , they pass ordinances to violate the Conmitm
that and take the States out. -What elm did Con
trees do when the free' States had the power?
They came forward . and 'passed three territorial
bills, and none of them had sly shivery probibt•
tion,' and declared that no lawshall be panned by
Teititoriel Legislatures' impairing the rights of
private property. Can there be anything more
Conolusive? Now, take this amendment to the
'Coasts ration and the Territorial bills, and what
else is left Of the slavery question? Yet the Union
mutt be broken up! Some are sincere in the com
promise. but others come here simply to make it a
pretext, in the hope that it will be refused ; and
then, on the refusal, these States will be declared
Out of the Union A Senator from Georgia once
said. " Wnett traitors become- nnmerous enough,
.treselon would be respectable " Perhaps it is so
now; but, God being willing, let them be Romany

Oa motion of Mr. BLAta, of Missouri, a resold

to communicate the letter of the Hon. Joseph Holt
to the President on the 18th of February, in re
sponse to a resolution of the House requesting the
reasons for assembling the United &des troops at
the seat of Government
The House then went, into the Committee of the
Whole on the direct tax bill. After various amend
ments had been debased, the enaoting clause, on
motion of Mr. MALLORY, of Hentricky, was strict
en ont—yeas 58, nays 55 The committee then
rose, when the toot was reported to the House.
Mr.WicaLtrys, of I K.entuoky, desired to recom

Mr &revue, of Pennsylvania. Why, the bill
is deed .
The BPRAEMR If the House should concur in the
action of the committee, the bill would be dead,
but not otherwise. If the House should disagree
to the report, then the bill would go to the foot of

o trutpiraej to pull down this temple of liberty, to
blot out forever the experiment of a free represen
tative government Men from New Bogland,
. from the Empire State and the great Wear, are
here to deleud the capital, the Constitution, and
the Voids. They want to be paid. fed, and clothed,
and means for these purposes cannot be postponed
till next amnion. If they are not provided now,
there must be another extraordinary session of
Conran. Fall to bass this measure to austain the
credit of the Government, and, owing to the oft
oumatenose around 1.18, our. bonds and notes must
fall to 60 oenta on the dollar. The difference be. ,
tween this and .par would go into the pockets of
the bbylocke, who would realize a hundred millions
out of the two hundred and fifty million loan. If ,
the Government should not be sustained, then of
course the war could not be proseon ed, nor the
eipital defended, nor the men fed and clothed .
He invoked that wise provision of the Constitution
for, direct taxation In order.to operate against the
rebels,.and to vindicate the Union, Constitution,
and the laws
Mr LOYNJOY, of Illinois, in response to the rer
mai k of Mr Biughem, said it was proposed to con
fiscate rebel property
Mr. BINGHAM We have no such bill ; that is a
thing winon is to be. We want present relief to
the c-notry.. • ; ?•-•-•••—•
M r LOHnOY. How can you collect direct taxes
in tie ill 1•1.9,1 &semi ?
Mr. BINGHAM. We propose to conceit them in
toe way designated in the bill. If the gentleman
can point out a better mode, let him do so, and not
find fault with thls bill: -In conolusior, Mr. Bin
h m laid Sooner than give up the old ship to the
tr Atom and conspirators, not 'only against the
I.berttes of &aeries, but against the human race,
I would say, before giving up the old ship, aid re
her than surrender her, .
" Nail to the mast her holy flag,
Bet every threadbare rail,
And give her to the God of storms,
The lightning and the gale."
Mr. MOCLUXAnD of Illinois, suggested an
amendment to Mr. Wickliffe's ins tructions, name
ly : that the bill be recommitted to the Committee
of Ways and Means, with instructions tOrednee
one-bidf the amount of direct taxes apportioned to
the States•in the first _section of the bill, and to
make upithe amount desired by extending the list
of taxable personal property To this he believed
the House would consent In order it, sustain the
credit of th 6 Government, it was' necessary that
some provisioirto pay the interest on the loan
should be made. Without some inch provision,
the army may have to be disbanded While the
soldiers have shown ecurage in the field, why
should members of Congress shrink from providing
the means for carrying on the war ?
' Mr Mostana., of Vermont, suggested modifica
tion, which Mr MoOlernand accepted, that the
Committee of Ways and Means be instruo4d to
report forthwith a bill on the basis of twenty mil
lions by direct taxation, and that such other sums
as may he necessary be raised on the personal in
come or wealth of the country
Mr. &ravens, of Pennsylvania, spoke of the in
*ions affeot of the impression going abroad that
tne tariff is to be continually shitted and changed ;
one thing one day, and another thing the next.
Hence the first part of the pr posed instructions of
Mr. Wickliffe was very otj iotionable As to the ,
bill under oonsideratinn, it was framed after Gal
latin's
, pattern, but "Daniels have come to judg
ment.' Let them show that their bill is just,
who, and discreet, and put to shame this old fogy.
lletugleter lie would vote for the bill, not doubt
ing that his constituents would sustain him.
Mr. Courax was ready to meet the issue Wley,
now, and not put it off Ha would not, however,
vote forth, bill as it Dow stands. for while it ex
empted millions of property in the form of stooks,.
it made the farmer pay the tax..
,He was for Ti•
pronely stistalnitg the .Government, but wanted
an equitable and ,judicious tax. lie argued that
we have the right to levy a tax on all property, in
order to put down rebellion and itteurreotion
The question was taken on 'Mr. McCiernand's
motion as modified by Mr Morrill. and determined
in the effirmative—yeas 78, nays 33. - Thie super-
Boded Mr. Wickliffe's proposition.
The House then adjourned.. • : -

THEIR RECEPTION IN NEW lOU.
A Splendid Ovation
Prom the New York Tribune of yesterday ]
The harp of Brian Borothme, and the m ir ed
field on which it is emblazoned, 'veneerer greeted
with more *tumaltuous eathusium than on Satur
day morning, when the Irish national banner,
emblem of a great, chivalrous, and breve people,
was borne through our streets by the Orions
flinty-ninth.. The greeting to the Prince of Wales
did not compare i 8 heartiness or sigoifitanoe with
• that which our oily en ISIVCSSS gave 5' the battle
stained heroes whose deeds at BA! Rae are the
theme of national praise, and whose toil worn ap
pearance, tattered uniforms. end bruised laces,
are tangible proofs of a hard fought ass &noes
field. It matters not that they retreated before
the enemy, that their flag was taken, and
their officers and men left captives, for to
numerous brilliant charges they had proved
their splendid valor, had rescued their colors, and
had only retreated when they ware overpowered
by tremendous odds. Not a man in the racks to
day but is regarded as a hero, for all individuality
is lost to the glories which the regiment has earned.
Their reception was snoh an ovation as only awaits
those who have defended ozr BOOTtIeS as these
men have done. It was a splendid demonstration
of the gratitude of the metropolis for the Irish
Americans whO have gone forth to strike io Ifs de.
fence, and showed that they did not love Ireland
less but America more.
• The weary watching of the previous two day,
MB well repaid to the friends by the greater

the Battery, and with them came the Web

curious cues who wished to welerme the brava
men home. Atter all, when many had begun to
fear that the regiment would never get here a cry
was /ahead that the steamboat was in sight; and,
sure enough, there she was coming up the bay,
with the glorioue green teg streaming from her
