ImSTPJCT MEETE'iG AT IiOIfiE. ,
fin the 1st Sunday in May* and. the
by and Saturday.before, Bishop II.
fc’.ls’fyerie, of the Methodist Episco-
frtfturcli, South, will hold a District
aing with tbo preachers and the
batch officials of the Rome District, at
Accepting this Situation.
We like the phll&Sophy which is con
tained in the foilowing.artieie! from the
Richmond Eiiquirer: ‘
‘There is.much said .about ": “accept
ing the-situation” • in ■ cohneotion with
the S. S. S. 8, business, which seem$
to convey no clear, meaning. There
are felicitations in Republican; quarters
over: the astonishing popularity, of| ihe
Congressional programme and .tho " ad
hesion Ito it of such dfenerals.as; ; ]jee;
Hampton, L'qngstrect and others. In
deed Gen era! Lee’s fianie lias been
used to conjure, with, oven here in Vir
ginia, in a manner that hardly seems
kind or respectful to him. Instead of
allowing him| if he ha’s any counsel to
offer his fellow-citizens-in this trying
situation, to presentitjnhis oWn words,
his position is known'only through*the
repdrts of‘ others, and doubtless'with 1
the ihacouracies which, creep into even
the most pareful second, or third or
fourth hand narrations.
“The time state offacts is simply Ihisi'
Congress has passed:, and tho Execu
tive is enforcing, an unconstitutional
law. It establishes'military govern-
in'ent, and'orders registrations to "be 1
made and .elections Jgj bb. held by the
military. The people of, the Southern
State are powerless to" prevent this, and
have no hope of deliverance except
from the'courts. Meanwhile the frig
istration i3 to.be made, and perhaps-
electidns held. The simple question is,
willauch of our citizens as arc permit*
ted, Register and vote, at these military
elections;,,so .that under the de facto
government thus imposed on us," they
may exercise some''control in the 1 man
agement of our affairs,'until the right
ful auliipnjty, ’ shall, ,bp. recognized. and
restored,.or in case.it should'fall;of.re-
cstabliahriieHt.TTh'a' proper sSfepfi^'S
too;plain "for "question. We ,are con
strained to submit ...for the time being,
to the dispotism 1 which has been im
posed on us; it-would be absurd to
refuse to profit by such ameliorations
as ai'hi t rary powerhas chosen to accord
The citizens, therefore, who areallowed
the<opiion, will, we trust, all register
and all vote; and Will endeavor to secure
the elections, of the best men,.. to ad
minister such offices as tho military
power chooses to leave to our Awn man
agement. A man cast into prison will
not rejeet the blanket and the bre.ad
which may save, him from actual freez
ing and starvation, simply because his
imprisonment is unjust and his treat
meat harsh.
“This is called acceptance, endors-
General Pope’s first Orders.
Orders No. 1 of General John‘Pope,
tp the army and people of the district
to which he has been assigned, will
be fountain this paper. The headquar-
and;in Florida, from, St.; AugusUhe-hl
Tallahassee. Key West is added tof
the Florida District. With these ex
ceptions, military matters remain as'
they were.
; As regards civil administration" says
the Macon Telegraph, the position of
General i;opa is all that our people
can reasonable expect.. lie promises-
not to interpose so long as the civil
authorities execute the law faithfully
ap.d afford, jiroteption to the people in
their rights of person and property.—
This is fair. It puts the State author!;
ties on their good behavior, and it rests
with them to say by'their acts-wheather
we shall have trouble or not.
In section II General Pope strikes
out q new line, and imposes a restric
tion not to be found in the orders, of
any other commander. The civil offi
cers of the District arejprohibited from
using “any influence whatever to deter or-
dissuado the people from taking, an. ac
tive part ■ in reconstructing their State
governments” under the Sherman' and"
supplementary acts. This silences the
whole official corps of the State, and
puts a padlock . on the lips of .Gov-
Jenkins. It is a pity the people cannot
have the advice in these trying tithes
of those in whom they have greatest
confidence, but we are no longer in a
government of^Haw and" must respect
the- edicts of. “the pawesjthat be.” ifo
civil, officers,; too,; .will be allowed : to
hold over after the expiration of ‘ his
termy" all vacancsies, 'from " whatever
cau'^e/heing"filled by the Gondral com;
manding.
Such are the orders of onr new ruler,
and we advise all ths people to conform
their conduct thereto and patiently
await the day of deliverance from mili
tary rule.

[From the Augusta Gonstitntionalisfc]
’ Gen. Beauregard’s' letter.
The editor of the New Orleans, Rones
has' succeeded in trapping another Wj:.
•tinguished General into perilous episto
lary writing: Gen. Beauregard, has fol
lowed Gen: Longstreet in. a written de-
'clariitibh of sentiments, and, like Gen-,
'eral, L„ prefaces his opinion with - the
candid ackriowleilgemerit that he knows
Tittle aiiorit the.subject,chosen for '.dis
course. It will be remarked tin peru-
sal of this letter, which we publish
this, morning, that Geri. Beauregard
does not explicitly advise a complete'
surrender to Congress, and , any inter-
prefation of this .sort must be left, to.
implication. , Herein the missive oi
Beauregard difiers from that of Long-
“treet, the tenor of which was uncondi
tional abandonment of every cherished
principle. But, 1 when Gen. Beaure-
sarduiarrows the pomt of controversy
down to a question of “ Resistance or sicb- :
'mission,” he states a proposition which
is at best a mistaken one-rind may
prove full of harm. The Mobile
verliser'-1& Register corrects, -this -faulty
logic. If says: • _
" “The statement of the qdestion, iii
this form, Ooming -from such authori:
ty as that of ! General Beuregard, will,'
we fear, be made use 1 of for mischievous
purpose's. 1 . . • .
■ 1 “There is an absolute urianimity 'in
the -South o pen -the subject of submis•- 1
sfoii.' There.is ria;ttiternative. Nobody
dreams of resistance. Gen. Beauregard’s
defpreeationtof a-lutilo resistance - -arid
his exhortations in favor ot' - aeqdies-
cence are, therefore superfluous. They
would be inoffensive, however, but for
the false impression which- they triake
abroad, that such a feeling as the Gen
eral deprecates has real existence.
• “The true question is whether mere
ly to-submit; or to go ajlong way beyond
submission. It i3 whether we shall ex-
press'approval, admiration, convietion,
delight, gratulation and glorification.
Submission' does not satisly the ‘South
ern Loyalists.’. We must exult in sub
mission. . Such iis: praot-ifeallyl the. tonly
question that now divides- the people of
theSoiith. . _
“The language of Gen. Beauregard
could scarcely.have bfaen, interiaed, to
cqnvey; the idea -th^t any por,tipn ot
our people ad,vocate resist ance, but this
riiignt be liffetrecl tromit; arid'the dis
tinguished source from which it pro
ceeds gives-it a weighit that -justifies this
protest" against such an interference.'
Our Mobile cotemporary has made a
fair discrimination- From the -tone

pririudiced witness would soppwe that.
