The <'oiiatltutloiial Amendment.
Alabama makes, wo bcliuvn, tho twen-
ty-boventh Statu that lius ratifiud tho con
stitutional amondment nbolisbinKslavery,
and that is tho number required to givo it
effect. If aiiotbor Statu is still noeded,
Mow Jersey stands ready to make up tho
list—tho Into ub clion in that State having
turned upon this ir-nm. Hut wo may rea
sonably ooncludo that other Southern
States will also agreo to tho amendment,
it being tindeistood that this will bo re
quired of them as n p o-rrquitHo to resto
ration. it is bettor for them to adopt it,
ns South Carolina and Alabama have
done, with Mr. Seward’s assurance that it
confers on Congress no power to interfere
by legislation with tho internal govern
ment of the States, than to have it forced
upon them by the votes of Northern
States, with such iulorpretiitions of its
scope us their radical majorities may
claim. We look for its early adoption by
tho Georgia Lcgi-laturo, and for an offi
cial announcement of its adoption us a
part td' tho Federal Constitution before
long.

We direct ullenlion to the facts inado
public by Mr. l)o/.ier, with the approba
tion of the military officer commanding in
Harris county. Our citiy.ona are warned
of developments, brought to light in that
count}', that hould ul once put thorn on
their guard. No volunteer company has
yet been formed in this county, in accord
ance with the proclamation of tho Provi
sional Governor, and w< may safol.v as-
mi mu that the military authorities Imroaro
too much engaged with other bmdnoKs to
direct to this matter that ilegrco of rigi-
(>mcc that tho occa.*ion demands. Our
people must, to a great extent, look out
for themselves, at /cast so far as the fer
reting out and thwarting in their incipi**
ency designs again.-t tho public pcaco and
security arc concerned. Our conviction is
that tho warning given to tu is based upon
such information, and i.« sustained by such
authority, as to demand serious attention
at oneo.
bit* hy th# Committee and Captain New
ton to publish their conclusions from their
investigation into the late reported attempt
to incite to insurrection the freedmen of
this community.
On last Tuesdny morning, Captain New
ton
examination, calling to his aid M. O’Neal,
Goo. I*. Kilpatrick, Captain Neal, and tho
undersigned, and after two days’ trial wo
came to tho following conclusions:
1. Wo beliovo that such a thing has
boon talked about among tho blacks, but
has not assumed tho consistency of a plot
hereabouts. Hut the evidence pointed to
something more definite in the direction
of Columbus, with its feelers in this direc
tion.
2. Wo find some flro-nrms, only a few,
and in some cases the most determined
concealment, before discovery.
3. We find, without exception, a general
indisposition to contract—some from a
foolish fear of a longer term than ono
year; some from a vague "know not why"
and "don’t know what to do” ; and sotno
testified of others as not intending to con
tract at all.
We find such expressions nR, "It will
thunder along through here before Christ
mas" ; "They haven't decided what to do
with tho women arid children” ; "They
Inivo decided not to kill the women and
children” ; "To start from Columbus and
divide out, and dtive tho whito men out
of the country."
Wo caution tho public to watch tho
promised good manners of Aaron, former
ly owned by Hardy Bryant, of Talbot—
a little, dirty, black, pquut of a freodrnun
of Sain Pearson, fiuodman, fifty or sixty
}ears old, black, knock-knocd,
important manners ; of Josh Dowdell,
almost white, with a down, under look,
but significant of, "Get it if you can.”
There are ono or two of more decided
importance, who made their escape to
Columbus, but whom, perhaps, wo may
socuro under orders already issued. Wo
say, in view of ul 1 the facts, vigilance and
preparation are tho host guarantees of
safety. There aro bad whito men and
black men, and mischief is their aim and
vocation. Rcspoctfully,

Mil ledge vlllc Correspondence,
Millkikjkvillb, Doc. 4, 1H*Vo.
Tho tirnoso longund so earnestly desired
by tho people or Georgia has at length
arrived, and the Legislature lias assem
bled at the scat of Government. A full
quorum of both Houses are present; the
Govornor elect is on the ground ; and, to
all appearance, everything is ready for
tho performance ol tho needful legislation
The Washington correspondent of the
Now Voik If'i»r/</,trlegiHplnng on lhe21Hb
lilt., reported the President as having sta
ted on that day that lie did not intend to
pend out advanc' d copies of his message
to tho press, hut that it was his purpose to
have it sent by telegraph on the morning
of its delivery to Congress, This being
the case, we shall not, probably, receive
the message as early as wo Imd untiopated,
by a day or two. Perhaps it will not roach
us bo fore Thursday oi Friday.
In view ol this reported delay in tho
transmission of the message to this part of
the country, npeculations as what will bo
done by Congress may bo all that we can
expect for several days more. The cor
respondent of (he MW/,/1 in tho same dis
patch, says: "In interviews of several
conservative Republican senators, to day,
with the President, they expressed to him
their views in regard to the national af
fairs pretty freely. 'They nafurmi him
that tho country was with him on his pol
icy of reconstruction ; that while theSouth
may not have done all that was expoctcd
on tho whole question, she had done re
markably well. The President said he was
glad to have their co-operation, for he be
lieved that what he had done was for tho
best, and would prove so in the end. Du*
ring a portion of these interviews to-day
Secretaries Seward and Stanton wore pre
sent.”
The correspondent of the Louisvillo
democrat writes, under date Nov. L’Tth •
"The President's message is certain to ho
a billot divorce—a vinculo malrimonit
between tho Radicals and tho Administra
tion. Ho will adhere to his oft-repeated
doctrine of the right of each Slate to regu
late the question of suffrage, and will inn
sist that whatever is done in this matter
must be done by the States as States, and
not by the General Government, llo
may throw a sop to the Radical corberus
in tho Way of a recommendation that in
telligence and nut color should bo tho test
of qualification for the exorcise of tho elec*
tivo franchise, but a bint of that kind
would apply more directly to "loyal”
Connecticut than to traitorous South Car
olina. Ail tho people of the South a>k is
that it bo left, to them lo regulate their
franchise laws, and the people of the North
will back them up in seeing this done.
“It is hoped Mr. Johnson will touch
very lightly on the Mexican question.
The common sense or the American peo
ple is gradually settling down to the belief
that wo have quite enough to do at home
just now without undertaking to right the
ways of the Mexican Liberals. Mr. Lin
coln said oneo that it wam't his business
to "run the churchy, so neither is it Mr.
Johnson's business to "run" Mexico—not
at present certainly."
Tho Washington dispatch of the :10th, to
the Now York press, says that tho Presi
dent » message will contain a full state
ment of tho present reconstruction policy,
and submit it to Congress, and that the
policy will bo adopted with a few modifi
cations.
The Issue.
Tho following clour exposition of the
issue between the Administration and the
Radicals wo copy from tho Notional In
tclligcncer:
The Administration stands for tho equal
ity of the States, fur tho sway of civil law,
for the right <»1* representation jn Con
gress, subject only to the qualifications of
tho Constitution and to such manifest per
sonal exceptions as plainly doservo to bo
enforced against existing traitors or infa
mous conspirators. It regards force only
as a necessary police regulation in aid of
civil law until such time as all danger
from local disturbances shall finally Hill
side. And tho policy of the Administra
tion goes on the conviction that the sooner
the Stales are restored to their practical
relation with tho Federul head, tho sooner
will ull danger, even from local disturb
ances, bo removed, and thus the sooner
the nation will bo rolioved from tho of
fense of arms, from burdensome garri
sons, from factious sveophants of a cen
tral armed power on tho one hand, and an
insensate utid spirited populace on tho
other (which Roqthorn disorder must cre
ate and continue on tho plan of force).—
Tho President seems to prefer to think
that tho inind and heart and interests of
tho Routh will better work in the oloment
of tho freodmen into tho body politic than
will arbitrary and unconstitutional action,
based on tho thoory that tho Mouth, ro
lioved of garrisons, will either murder
tho negro or reduce him again to bondage.
Opposed to the Administration is tho
doctrine that tho states aro destroyed; that
tho President has usurped powers; that
tho American Union is practically dis
solved; that tho South aro a subjected
pooplc; that their elections aro mocker
ies; that their members returned to Con
gress shall bo subjected to tests unknown
♦o tho Constitution; that the names ol
such shall not ho entered on the roll of
the .States, even after a I‘residential pro-
elnmatioH that tho robollion is over and
that tho insurgents Imvo returned to their
allegiance; that negro sulfrago shall, by
national authority,bo forced on thoHouth-
orn States, oithor by legislation, or by op
pressive tricks of Congress, bearing on the
admission of Southern members in tho
Capitol; that tho fact of the rebellion shall
NEVER DIE, but that tho blood}' war
shall bo fought over to inllatnu tho sec
tions against each other to answortho ends
of the vory demagogues who were fore
most in producing the war, and who know
no intorost but party and soil; that the
South, however ready to come back with
a loyal and impulsive heart, must, never
theless, bo punished by cold and cruel and
needless delays (on tho Colfax and Slo
vens theory), until hope delayed shall
make the heart sick, and tho nation shah
wither piece-meal and fall to pieces like a
rotten wreck, lo go down amid a war of
races and factions in tho South, nr.d of
party violence and mischiefs in tho North,
and so go tho mournful way of all the
republic* of tho past.
No matter how disguised, how sugared
over, these aro tho nsucs between those
who dissent from what our American
President has dono and from what ho de
sires to do. Tho issue was long ago inado
by tho reeovstructionists, and it has quite
recently been boldly reaffirmed by Mr.
Speaker Collax. And this issue must bo
fairly met. It remains to bo soon how
parties will range themselves in Congress
as the friends or foes of "tho policy of the
President"—tho Prosidont of the'United
States and of tho American people.
deceitful, wo have often been told, and **o
1 fear it will prove on the present occa*
sion.
I regret to learn that, for the present,
Governor Jenkins will not bo inaugurated.
I regret also to learn that tho agent ap
pointed to negotiate a loan sufficient lo
pay the expenses of the administration <»f
the State, whom we understand to lo
lion. John P. King, has thus fur failed to
btain any money by tho sale of Slate
bonds, at tho discount of ten per cent.,
authorized by the Convention, and that
in consequence there is not a dollar in the
treasury. 1 understand, however, that,
the loan can be elfected at a discount of
bonds slightly greater, if the Legislature
will grant tho power.
Other causes besides these (which will
readily suggest themselves) exist, which
seem to lie in tho way of a successful
moving forward of tho wheels of Govern
ment.
'1 ho message of his Excelloncy Gov.
Johnson is ready. It will bo a f-hort doc
ument, and replete with interest. It will
be an emphatic statement of what, iu the
Provisional Governor’s opinion, is noces
sury to be done by tho Legislature.

Tight Rope
Death of i
Performer.
From the Wilmington Herald, of tho
20th ultimo, wo extract tho following
count of tho tragic ending of a perilous
Yesterday afternoon, about half*past
two o’clock, the Wilmington theatre was
the scone of one of the most heart-rend
ing catastrophes we have ever been called
on to chronicle. A matinee was adver
tised to bo held at the theatre ut 2 o'clock
i*. xf., tho performance lo consist of E.hi-
_ : . ... pj.I.in lii. / W li if
opian minstrelsy by Vhttrlio White
ron-clnd opera troupe, and feats on tho
tight ropo by Mr. Delano, whoso real
name was Thomas N. Huntley. The
rope ox tended from tho stage to the centre
gallory, forming a steep ascent that it ap
peared ttlmott impossible to walk.
At tho appointed time, however, Mr.
Huntley inado his appearance, with the
heavy balance polo used on such occa
sions, and commonced his feat. Ho
walked with great ease and succoss in the
ascent, reaching tho gallery amid the rap
turous applause of tho audience, Jn a
moments he returned to descend to
tho stage, but, after taking a few stops he
lost his foothold and full, but succuodcd
in gaining lb© gallory. Apparently be
coming mortified at his partial failure, he
remounted and attempted to descend to
thostago backwards; but aftor proceed
ing a lew feet from tho gallery he again
lo»t his balance, and then commenced a
kinful and thrilling slrugglo for life.
Finding that he would probably fall
from the rope, ho throw his balance polo
into the dress circle, and, it is supposed,
...ado an effort to spring into it himself.
He merely, howover, touched it with his
feet, and was precipitated head down-'
wards into tho parquolto below, the left
ido of the head striking the corner of one
of tliO scats, frightfully crushing the skull,
and producing almost instant death.
Wo examined tho body after tho occur
rence, and it appeared that all tho internal
portion of tho hoad had boon forced into
the right temple. Tho lower part of tho
face presented a natural appearance, but
the head was horribly disllgurod.
Tho deceased was a native of Nashville,
Tonn.,where ho loaves a widowed mother,
but has latterly been a resident of Rich
mond, Va. lie was agod between til no*
teen and twenty years. Ho was a man ol
splendid physique, and but for bin untime

Ux-KSTXlll.lHUMKNT OF THK UkI‘UIU.1-
CAH GOVICKNMXNT OF ClIHlUA1IUA.—A
Washington dispatch, of tho 29th, con*
tains tho following:
Official news from El Paso was received
this evening by Mr. Momero, the Mexican
Minister, that the recent movements of
the national forces of Mexico compelled
the French troops of Chihuahua to evacu
ate that city and State, and to withdraw to
Durango. On the 2Mh ot October the
evacuation began, and for days later not a
single Fronch .soldier was left in Chihun
bus. President Jaurcz writes, on the fid
inst, that ho was about leaving El Paso
for the city of Chihuahua, to ro-estahlish
thero the national government. This is
thought to bo a great success for the re
publican cause of Mexico,since the French
admit their inability to hold tho conquer
ed ground.
Sensations of a Balloonist.—A bal
loonist says:
Tho sensations as we sail in our upward
course is one of intense pleasure. Even
woro there not a landscape of uncqualud
beauty beneath and around us, to entrance
the eye and wrap the senses in delight,
the feeling itself is sufficient to make ono
supremely happy. Without a thought of
earn in tho world, without a fear, wo leel
us if our bodioa had boon left behind, and
only our spirit, disenthralled of mortal
trappings, is here. Happiness lias reached
its acme. This i> pleasure's maximum.—
It is not a sensation of being carried; no,
thero is not a thought of the balloon it-
solf. We feel ondued with motive power,
and imagine, if oven on tho outside, wi
will be sale. Prudcnco tells us, however,
not to try the experiment, as it might
prove dangerous. Thero is nono of that
feeling of doafnoss which Fronch ti*ro-
nauts talk to us of, nono of lliat removal
ol the pressure of the air wo hear so much
of. There is nothing unpleasant whatever
about tho sensation, although it is neces
sarily a novol ono.

An Knulisu Sherman’s Raid.—A
British force is about to invade Boo tan,
and has been put in Ji#bt marching’ order
for this expedition, wh ch, after all, is but
a short ono compared with Sherman's
groat march. Sherman's veterans will
read with interest of the preparations :
Tho force is to comist of two wings of
British infantry, six rugimcnl* of native
infantry, one thousand drilled coolies, two
balieriea of artillery, and two companies
of sappers and miners, or about nine thou*
sand men in all. A groat ctlort is being
made to limit the number of camn-follow-
or*, only one servant being allowed to

Tho Wsr Department computes tho
number of deaths in the Union armies,
sinco the commencement of tho war, nt
fi25 000, and of Southern soldiers »t 200,000
—making ut leoft 625,000 lives that have
been lost—u part of the costly price paid
for the defence of the nation's life. At
Gettysburg *23,000 Union soldiors were
killed, wounded, or taken prisoners—our
greatest loss during one campaign. Gen.
Grant’s losses, frdm tho time he crossed
the Rnpidan until Leo’s surrender, wore
about00,000. Great as were our losses,
they were far below those incurred in
European wars, owing to our superior
medical and sanitary arrangements, and
tho care of tho Government for its troops.
