CBULBBRATION. ‘Yesterday trore was a grand celebration here in honor | Of the late victores to the Union arms and the peace re- salting therefrom. By order of General Grant two hun- dred guns were fired. 4 splendid polo was also raised in front of the Lanier Hout, where General Wilson has his Headquarters, and a deautity fag unfurled to the breeze, Brass bands breathed forth +he ‘concord of swect sounds” in variods parts of the cey, and the entire pro- eecding reminded one of an old-fastianed Fourth of July celebration.

They all admit that they are subjugated, and are bitter on the leaders of the re- Dellion. When talking with Union men they are full of apologies for the part taken by thomecives in the Yebellion.

Since my last letter was written I bave conversed with ‘® great many Andersonville @risoners. The stories they teli of the horrors of this worse than hell cannot be de- scribed, Iwas told by Mr. Reid, a gentleman fully en- titled to credit, that the keeper of the prison, a black- Dearted, snake-eyed devil, by the name of Wirtz, would amuse himeelt by putting down the number of the Prisoners condmed, and dividing them by the aver: number of deaths per day, and then chuckle, saying to them, ‘It won't be long ‘till all you damned Yaukees ‘will bein hell.” Ho would also grant a thirty days fur- Jough to any one of the guards who would detect a Prisoner with bis hands on the dead line, and shoot him. Some of the men were so weak from diarrhoea and star- ‘vation that they would sometimes fall on the dead line from sheer exhaustion, and certain death was the result. Wirtz boasted that he was killing more Yankees than any regiment in the field. During the winter the prisoners puffered severely from lack of wood. They would build a small fire of splinters, and crouch around it until fesh and Diood could stand it no longer, and then drop dead at the foot of their companions, The only opportunity of ob- taining wood, in addition to the scapty supply furnished them, was by parties who carried out the dead men, who ‘would fill the blanket with wood. A small glece of this ‘would sell for one hundred dollars. Some of the men, when they were dying, actually sold the privilego of carrying them out for money with which to purchase a cup of coffee or a morsel to oat.

The Atlanta Regiser of the 4th instant speaks on this subject as follows: “It ts very evident that something must be done, and at once, or the relief of thousands of peoplo in this city ‘who are almost totally without food.

Governor Brown and some of bis intimate political ad- visers have beon in consultation at times for the past week with General Wileon, but what is to result from their deliberations remains to be seen. The Governor bas, ag I informed you in my last letter, issued a call for aepecial neasion of the Legislature to convene on the ‘22d mst. Yet Iam informed that General Wilson has given him distinetly to understand that that (dis)honora- ble body will not be permitted to convene without authority from Washington. And so the matter reste, General Wilson made @ formal demand of Governor Brown for the surrender of all the State troops and pub- lic property, which demand was complied with by Gov- ernor Brown yesterday. The Governor, in his capacity of military commander, has given bis personal parole for the troops, including the militia and State troops. The State stores, embracing some forty thousand pounds of powder, were also surrendered; but the provisions were immediately turned over to the State quartermasters for distribution among the destitute poor and a report made to the Secretary of War. This wipes out the last speck of the war cloud in Georgia. The militia of Georgia have been a very formidable or- gantzation—such as no other State in the would-be con- federacy has ever placed in the field. The Governor in- formed me, while in conversation with him yesterday, that, although Gen. Wilson and himself radically di on many questions, and although the General stub- boraly refuved to accede to muny of his desires, be was favorably Jmapreseed with him, and expressed much ad- mlration of his courtesy, giisstry and executive ability. He then added, by way of a mola bene, with ao ominous shake of tho bead, “There is no general in the United States Army, of the age of General Wilson (twenty-seven), who has rendered more distinguished services as a leader, or who gives greater evidence of a brilliant oareer in future.” Before separating the Governor tendered me the bospitalities of his mansion, and invited me to vieit the capital during the session of the Legislature. Since the foregoing was written eral Wilson bas re- ceived orders to arrest “Gor assumed Governor of Georgia,” dpa a fost.) under guard to fasbing- ton. in order was not received until the Governor had been paroled as commander-in-chief of the State troops, and consequently does not coafhct with bir The order for his arrest, however, was issued 's prior to bis parole.

It appears that on Thursday afternoon Mr. George A.

As Mr. Sweet took hold of the suspected man’s cloak the latter pulled away, leaving his outer garment in the hands of Mr. Sweet, The stranger ran down Fulton street, pursued by Sweet, who cricd “Stop thief!” when officer Fergu- son, of the Second precinct, intercepted and arrested the Spoken, &c.
