Sir—lh'ivethe honor to transmit
Enclosed a copy 'of my General 'Order

District. Copies were sent to you, at
the time, addressed to Milledgeville.
. Paragraph 3; of that order reads as
followsviz:
'•III. : It is to be clearly understood,
however, that the civil ofheers thus re

whatever to deter or dissuade the peo

constructing their State Government,

fortheimore efficient Government of
tne Eebel States, and the act supple
mentary thereto.”
I have the honor to request that yon
will inform me at as early a day as pos
sible, whether, when you issued your
addressjto the people of Georgia, dated
Washington, D. C., April 10, 1867, you
had. seen or had knowledge of the en
closed order.

Provisional i Governor ’Charles J. Jenkins,
Milledgeville, Georgia.
National Hotel.
Atlanta, Ga.. April 20,1867
Brevet Major General John Pope, Com’d’g,
etc. ’
Sir—On yesterday evening a copy of
a communication from you, addressed
to mo at Milledgeville,on the 17th inst.,
was handed to me in this hotel. With
that communication was transmitted a
copy of your General Order ho. 1. issu
ed from Montgomery, Alabama, and
my attention being called to paragraph
3.of that order. You inquire whether,
when 1 issued my address to the people
of Georgia, dated Washington, D. -C.,
April I0th,18G7.1 had seen or had
knowledge of your order above mention
ed? I answer that at {he time 1 had
neither seen nor had knowledge of it.
I supposed I was exercising such free
dom in the public expression of opin
ion, relative to public matters, as seems
still to be accorded to- the citizens of
this Republic, not imagining that it was
abridged by the accident of the speaker
or writer holding office.
So much for the past, General,. and I
will only, add, that in future I shall
do and say what 1 may believe is requir
ed of me by the duty to which my oath
of office birids me, and this,1 trust, will
not involve either conflict or contro
versy between us in the execution bf
our respective trusts, as I think it need
not; everything of this character I cer
tainly desire to avoid.
Iam, sir, very respectfnlly, your obe
dient servant,
[Signed,] Charles J. Jenkins,
Governor ofGeoriga.

Hd’qrs. 3d Mil.Dis’t
Georgia, Alabama,, and; Florida,
Atlanta, Ga., April 22, ’67
Governor—rhave the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your letter of
the 20th inst., in answer to mine of the
17th.
It gives me pleasure to say that your
explanation is satisfactory, so far as the
past is-concerned, and 1 coidially c'on-
cur-with you in the hope that our re
lations in the future may be harmoni
ous and agreeable.
IJwould content with this answer to
your letter but for the following re
mark which it contains. You say, “1
supposed I was using such freedom in
the public expression of opinioh . rela
tive to public matters as seems still to
be accorded to the citizens of this Re
public. not imagining that it was
abridged by the accident of the sppaker
or writer holding office.” .
This expression seems to indicate
that you think that in some manner,
either personally or officially, you have
been wronged by that paragraph of my
order which has occasioned this cor
respondence, and that I am seeking to
abridge the liberty of speech, in this
State, in an unnecessary and oppressive
manner.
I trust that I may be able to disbuse
your mind of this idea. It is scarcely
necessary to tell you that the late acts
of Congress, which I am sent here to
execute, recognize the existing State
government of Georgia as merely pro
visional, and that the object of recog
nizing it at all was only that the ordinary
course of business in the civil tribunals,
and the administration of the laws of
the State by the customary agencies,
might not be interrupted further than
was necessary for the strict execution of
the laws of the United States. It is not
doubted that Congress might have leg
islated the present State Government
out of existence as easily as they have
recognized it as provisional, and it is as
little>;to be doubted that Congress would
have done s@, could it have been fore
seen-that the entire machinery of the
provisional State government would be
used to defeat the execution of the
very law by whose sufferance alone it
has any existence at all It is very
clear that Congress did not intend to
recognize or permit to exist, -by these
reconstruction acts, a powerful organic
zation to he used against their execution
nor can such use be made of the State
government of Georgia without greatly
obstructing, if not, entirely frustrating
the performance of the duty required
of me by these acts.
The existing State government was
permitted to stand for the convenience
of the people of Georgia, in the ordina
ry administration of the local civil laws,
and to that end it should be carefully
confined. -
It was in this view that paragraph 3
of my order assuniitsg command was
considered, apd jt is not easy to see how
it. can be regarded oppressive or un
just. v.
• Holding your office by permission of
the .United States’Government, yon are
debarred Las Ij ap, Tro.m ^expressing
and the same opiuions whilst Governor
of.Georgia, have a very different sig
nificance, and produce, a very different
effeist.
I only requirethat the civil machi
nery'of the State of Georgia be not per
verted so .as to frustrate the execution
of the, laws of the Uhited States, and
for that reason, I exact from the civil'
officers that whilst they retain their,
offices they confine themselves strictly
to the performance of their official du
ties, and do hot use their influence to
prevent the people of the State from
submitting and carrying out the laws of
the United States.
In your address to the people of Geor
gia, which .occasioned this correspon
dence, you denounce the acts of Con
gress which I am sent here to execute,
as “palpably unconstitutional,” and
“grievously •ppressive," and advise the
people, whatever may be the decision
of the Supreme Court of United
States, to take no' action

It is manifestly impossible for me to
perform the duties required of me by
the acts of Congress,'while the Provi
sional Governor of the State is openly
denouncing them and givii
advice to the public in his offici
capacity, the result of which will be to
excite discontent and array the whole
army of office holders in the State in.
opposition to their- execution, unless,
indeed, the whole civil government of
the State is overthrown, and the mili
tary substituted. I think such a change
would be as distasteful to the people of
Georgia as it would be to ine, and yet
if the State follow the example which
your Excellency has set them, there
will be uo escape from such a result.
The 3d paragraph of my order im
poses no restrictions on yon to which
I am not myself subject; you hold your
office by permission of the United
States Government; I hold mine, as do
thousands of others, both civil and mil
itary, by substantially the same tenure.
Custom,'old enough to be law itself, re
stricts us in conversation and action,
precisely as paragraph, 3 of my order
restricts you.
There is a very simple mode of free
ing ourselves from such restrictions
when they become too oppressive.
In conclusion,- Governor, it seems
necessary for me to say in general re
ply to the latter portion of your letter,
that the. paragraph of my order to
which you object was very carefully
considered; that it means precisely
what it' says, and that to the full ex
tent of my power it will be strictly en
forced.
My great respect for your personal
character has made it painful to me to
write yon this letter, but as a fair, and
full understanding between ns is abso
lutely essential to anything.like harmo
nious relations, I have thought it nec
essary, even at the risk of giving of
fense, to acquaint you folly with my
understanding of my duty, and of the
status of the civil officers of the Pro
visional State Governments under the
late acts of Congress.
1 again assure you that it shall be my
study, as it will be my pleasure, to-pre
serve unimpaired friendly and harmo
nious relations with you, and I trust
that our views on the subject of this
correspondence may be made to har
monize sufficiently to secure this re

al Order No. 1, from these Headquar
ters, is re-publisbed for the information
of all' concerned:
‘Paragraph HI.—It is to be clearly
understood, however, that the civil
officers thus retained in office, shall
confine themselves strictly to the pre-

whilst holding their office they shall
not use aay influence whatever to deter

All officeis in this military district
are directed, and citizens are requested,
to give immediate information of any
infraction of this order and to prevent
misunderstanding on the subject, it is
distinctly announced that any civil

will be deposed from his office and held
accountable in such other manner as
the nature of the case demands.

Stand by the Right.
It was a sublime sentiment, says the
Selma Messenger, worthy of the Great
Commoner, "I would rather be right than
Presided,” and a life based on such an
idea, though passed in poverty and
suffering, though confined . within the
walls of a prison and ended on a gib
bet, is to be preferred to rank and
wealth and titles and power, a royal
sarcophagus, and infamy.
It is not to place and power, that the
ambition of a noble mind aspires, but
to do something for which mankind
will love, and posterity honor the doer
—it is only the base and grovelling who
find in treachery and success a re
ward for long vigils and patient labor
and dishonor, and are willing to barter
conscience and self-respect for paltry
gold and the applause of the {unstable
populace. - .
In these times especially, when the
present is full of peril, and the fntore
dark and menacing, while behind us
are glorious memories, a heroic straggle
for what we believed right, and the
graves of a vast multitude of the bravest
men and the noblest patriots ever sac
rificed on the altar of liberty—in these
times, should we, >of all other people,
and of all other limes, stand firmly by
the right, whatever the consequences,
and so live that when we come to die
we may leave to those who are to come
after us names more precious than ti
tles or gold. .
We cannot afford to barter truth
and honor for'the protection of • prop
erty, the possibility of present peace
and security, and certain future calam
ities.' f *;] iL ..;v

BY AESOP JUN.
A boy was left at home one day to
cook dinner, whilst the rest of the fam-
ly were gone to church. His mother
told him to boil a sheep’s head and
dumplings; but having his head full of
inventions and theories, in the art of
cooking, be concluded, after his moth
ers’ departure, to add a few boxes of-
seidlets powders, as a flavoring ingredi
ent, whereupon the pot commenced
boiling and efferviscing wiflh great vio
lence, throwing the dumplings over
board; at which the experimenter took
alarm, and ran to church with breath
less haste. On teaching the door he
winked to his mother to come to him;
but the service having been commenced
she winked to him, and motioned him
to go away. He was not to be put off in
this manner, but cried out at the top
of his voice, “that she need’nt to wink
nor blink,” for the sheep’s head was
batting all of the dnmplins oat of the
pot.
HOXAIu
The negro is being put in the politi
cal cauldron along with the white man,
to prepare an office insurance for the
Radical family, lately assembled in
Washington City;- and it would not be
surprising to see effervescence occa
sioned by the'mixture, of such violence
as to butt some gentleman’s dump
lings out of. the pot. It would be
nice joke if nipper head should butt abo
lish radicals out of office, and vote for
Conservative Union men; and it is not
recorded that they will not.
Well, this is an age of improvement.
New ideas, theories, dogmas and isms,
are demanding the test of experiment,
The cauldron for manufacturing the
various political panaceas has, for sev
eral years past, been kept at a lively
temperature. High tariff and nullifi
cation were putin the pot, and they
batted each other onfc. Knownothing-
ism, some years afterwards, was tried
in the erasable, and soon butted out.-—
The next grand experiment was seces
sion, which, like an explosive mix
ture, not only batted itself out, bat
came near emptying the pot.
The vessel is being tilled again—this
time putting in all the various isms,
and higher law-doctrines of the North,
from which we may expect another ex
plosion, emptying the entire cauldron

ment.

perishable. Untill time shall be no
more, the names of our departed he
roes and statesmen will be household
words. The courage, the fidelity to
great principles, the patient endurance
of privations and sufferings, the sacri
fices and. the.achievements, of the peo
ple of the South will live in song and
story until that dread day when the
heavens shall be rolled up as a scroll,
and the earth shall pass away. Jack-
son and Lee and Johnston are immor
tal; Manassas, Shiloh, Richmond, Get*
tysburg, Sharpsbnrg, Murfreesboro,
Chicamauga and Nashville, belong to
history; the present moment alone is
oars, and we only are responsible to
mankind and to God for the use we
make of it.
The times are perilous; we encounter
difficulties at every step, and are envi
roned on all sides by dangers; one sin
gle false move may cost us all that we
have so far saved from war and revolu
tion and conquest; and our only safety
is in planting ourselves upon the im
mutable principles of right, and stand
ing there, firm and undismayed by the
storm and tempest, the lowering clouds
and fearfnl lightnings, that may burst
over our beads, doing our duty and our
whole duty regardless of threats or
promises, unallured by the hope of re
wards, unintimidated by the fear of
punishment.
We are a conquered people—it is
right that we should submit to the au
thority of the conqnerer.
The fortunes of war have made us
the subjects of the Government of the
United States—it is right that we should
obey the laws ot that government.
The success of the armies of the Uni
ted States abolished slavery, changed
our social condition, placed ns in new
relations to the Government, revolu
tionized the republican system ordain
ed by the authors of the Union, and
centralized the'power of the nation—it
is right that we should accept accom
plished facts, and, obeying the divine
command, “render unto Caesar the
things which are Caesar’s.”-
Wars overthrow dynasties, revolu
tionize governments, impose new du
ties, release from old obligations. The
decision of arms cannot, however,-affect
the right or wrong of the past. The
logic of the bayonet cannot convince
the mind. Subjects of the United
States, submissive to their authority,
obedient to their laws, loyal to their
government now, it is impossible that
our defeat can-have convinced us that
we were wrong in 1861 and during the
war, and made odious in our eyes those
whom we sent to the front tq fight for
what we then believed v$ith all our
hearts was ajust and holy cause, and
brand as felons in our estimation oil
who fonght under the government we
created; and it is hot right, ,it is sheer
hypocrisy and cowardice, it is high trea
son against conscience and truth, it is
disloyalty to heaven, for us to profess
so much. ,
Here is where we take our stand.—
Whatever the United States impose
upon us, it is our duty to submit ' to it.
Whatever laws they enact for us, we
must obey them. If they frame for us
a constitution in accordance with the
recent legislation of Congress, we must
accept it. If they put in operation over
us a State Government based upon rad
ical ideas, we must use all the privi
leges conferred upon us, and all the
rights accorded to us, in its support.—
But we cannot and will not approve
and ratify measures that stigmatize us
all as criminals, unfit to he trusted,
unworthy of confidence, and with no
title to property or life save through
the clemency of the conquerors, and
denounce and punish our most emi
nent iellow-citizens for doing what we
required them to do, and write on tlie
tombstones of the Southern. dead of
the late war the epitaph “traitor,” and
hence we cannot vote to organize for
ourselves a state government under the

erhment our own, and thug endorse

FACTS vs. THEORIES-
“Give mo a place to rest my lever on,”
says Archimedes, “and I will move the
world.” Give me pure and unaudulterated
drugs,” says Medicus. of the olden time,
“and I wiU cure disease.”
In one sense, both ot these learned pun
dits were the veriest charlatans.—They
knew there was no place to rest their lever
S ; either to move the world or cure disease.
eohanism was in a backward state, and
the. medical profession was but another name
for sorcery, .and all the adjuncts of magic
filters and charms of the “evil eye,” Ac.
But these latter days have borne unto ns
something more than even superstition and
its crew ever dreamed of -in their, maddest
philosophy. In these days of practical sci
ence, what was theory of yesterday is fact
to-day, and all the old time notions became
as bubbles in the sun, and burst and break
with.every breath we draw. ]
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and
we will find a resting place for it to move
the world. Let mine ancient Medicus pant
and toil no more for the drugs |he sorely
needs, lor we have them at : our. hand, ever
ready,to serye them at his beck.
