Robt. S. and Moses Foster Turned
Over to Judge Millner.
■ffe learn, with pleasure, that on yes
today; Capt. Lord, commanding this
Tost during Cdl. Bitter’s absence, re
ceived instructions to turn over to
Judge Milner, the above named gen
tlemen, now confined in jail, under
military arrest. Messrs. Fosters pre
ferred to remain in the Rotile jail un
til the papers could be forwarded to
Judge Millner and returned; otherwise
they would have been sent under guard
to Cartersville on last night. It is
probable that they will be released as
soon as bond is given for their appear
ance at the Superior Court.
Vocal and Instrumental Concert.
We feel safe in assuring the citizens
of Rome and vicinity that the Concert,
appointed for next Monday night, will
be one of the best musical entertain
ments ever given in Rome. Of the mu
sical powers of Mr. Samuel Dunlap, and
his accomplished lady, and their sister.
Mrs. Adela Branham, the exquisite
vocalist, our citizens already have some
knowledge. Prof. I. R. Branham, who
is to assist in this Concert, is one of
the most charming performers on the
flute we hare ever listened to, and he
also excels upon the violin. Prof. Czur-
da, of Macon, as a violinist, is, per
haps, unequaled in Georgia, or surpass
ed in the South; upon this wonderful
little instrument he develops the most
intricate musical harmonies, as well as
the more common “concords of sweet
sounds,” with an amount of skill and
pleasurable effect rarely witnessed.
W e advise all who love music to at
tend this Concert, not only oq aocount
of the in trinsic merits of the en tertain -
ment, but also in consideration of the
object—a donation to the Metho
dist Church—to which the proceeds
are to be devoted.

It speaks well for our country, and is
specially creditable to the people of
this neighborhood, that, notwithstahd-
ing the hardness of the times, they Are
maintaining in. their midst a school of
very high grade-—one s in which their
children can be educated as thorough
ly as anywhere, outside of a regular
college. It hasheen their! good fortune,
to secure, this year, the services ef Rev.
J. Courtney. Browne, as ,teacher.. This
gentleman is a graduate of Mercer Unh
versity, and is wall known in • this ■ sec
tion, as a man of large talents and
thorough schollarship. ■ ’
I attended his examination oil the
13th inst. Classes, in various studies,
from the spelling book, up . to Latin,
Greek, and some of the higher branch
es of Mathematics, were examined, and
acquitted themselves with much cred
it. It was gratifying to observe that
tbeir teacher, in the discharge of his
duties, had kept steadily in view the
great end of education, so often lost
sight of, both by teachers and parente
—the development and discipline of mink.
It was evident that‘his aim had not!
been empty display) but thorough ad
vancement; not to see how much space
could be gotten over, but how much
could be fully mastered and compre
hended; how many processes of reason
ing the youthful mind could be made
to go through with; to how great an ex
tent it could be led to think and act
for itself; an 1 consequently how much
strength and efficiency could be, im
parted to its faculties. It is much to
be regretted that such teachers are not
more numerous.
The exercises closed with an exhibi
tion, at night, consisting of speeches
and compositions from the pupils, in
terspersed with music. It was' highly
entertaining, and would have done
credit to any school, or any communi-
ty. ^* *

Keply to “Virginia.”
Mr. Editor :.I have been much more
amused than edified, in reading-.the ar
ticles on “wheat culture” over the sig
nature of “Virginia,” which have re
cently appeared in the Courier. “Vir
ginia seems determined not to hide Ais
Rush light under a bushel, but put it in
a candlestick, and stick it on a candle

ness which he imagines envelopes the far
mers in Cherokee ^Georgia. ■‘.Virginia.”
doubtless, is an“F. F. V.,” and may he
very smart (where the skin is off), but he
is not smart enough to convince a native
Georgian “that the moon is made of
green cheese” —w> ier made to run up
hill, or that God 1 /mighty was mista
ken, when he e the earth, in put
ting the nch soil top, for agricultural
purposes. Ifw were to take “ Virgin
ia’s” advice, wv rould bury the fruc-
tuous soil so d< p, on most of our farms,
that not even r Georgia scooter or bull
tongue” would ter be able to resurrect
it, and the C( iequence would be that
our lands WL.ifdbe irretrievably ruined.
Many of us have hard scratching to
make a living stirring the fertile top soil
and planting our wheat, corn and cot
ton in that, and we know if we were te
capsize that, with a two home turn-over
plow, and sow our wheat in the clay,
sub-soil, that we would never eat any
more hoe-cakes, or biscuits, or light
rolls, in this Cherokee country, unless
we imported our flour from foreign ports!
“Virginia’s” notions about,“tearing up
and turning over the bosom of old
mother earth to the depth of ten or
twelve inches,” is not only absurd, but
‘‘agin nalur,” reason and common sense.
1 never did believe in your turn-over
plows, and other modern inventions, no
how, and hope our plain, matter of fact,
homespun people will nof suffer them
selves to be humbugged by these new
fangled, theoretical yankee notions on
the subject of farming. {Spurn them as
you would “a wolf in sheep’s clothing,”
even though a “ Virginian’’ advises you to
adopt them. “Pursue the even tenor
of your ways,” not deviating a hairs
breadth from the good old paths marked
out by your “fathers and grandfathers,”
and tuyr word for it, a kina Providence
will prosper you both “in your basket
and in your store,” and 'you will make
plenty of corn and wheat, both to sel]
and to keep.
But you go to experimenting with big
turn-over plows, and heavy iron-teethed hear-
rows. Guano, land-plaster, and other

adapted.
Napoleon, when vim ting, one of the
Female institutions of learning in
France, asked the proprietress by what
means popular education could be best
enhanced.
Her reply was, “educate your girls”
The wisdom of her reply was evident
to the great man, who immediately
caused a royal edict, to be issued
throughout his kingdom, “Edueats your
daughters l Edueats your daughters'” And
we must do the same thing, if we wish
to see the course of common education
flourish iju pur midst. For let man la-
bor as he will, it is from woman’s mind
at last, that character , receives the
■tamp that ia to mark it more or less
through life. She it is that shapes the
constitution by which mankindare gov-
ered, and her influence is felt even in
the destiny of nations.
Last, hut not least, that noble insti
tution, the Deaf and Dumb Asylam,
was visited by us', and with hearts of
pity, we glanced at their intellectual
faces as they passed their daily recita
tions. Knowledge to them is aninestima
ble boon, deprived as they are of even
holding converse with their fellow
creatures, or of listening-to the enrap
turing melody of sound. The progress
they have made evinces, in a very effi
cient manner, that its Principals have
not labored in vain for their advance
ment.
Long will be remembered the socia
ble, hospitable and charming village of
Cave Spring—the beauty of its ladies,
and the gallantry of its gentlemen.
Rome, Ga., June 24,’67. F.
. This looks a little as if we were get
ting back to the old days when “vote
yourself a farm,” was the war cry of a
political party. But the most curious
feature of Mr. Wade’s proposition is
that he insists upon female suffrage as
a means to Wing about the oth'er re
forms which he seeks. He evidently
expects that women are sure • to be
Democrats, Radicals, agrarians in their
politics. This shows how little he
knows about them. Women are -nat
urally and inevitably aristocrats; and
whenever they get the right to vote
and to hold office, (and if they have
one.they must have the other also) we
shall stand a good chance of having our
Democratic institutions overthrown and
unadulterated aristocracy establish
ed in its place.
There is not the slightest chance that
Gen. Butler. Thad Stevens, Wendeil

very likely to organize a new party

ples.
Executive Action Under the Opinion of
the Attorney-General.
The National Intelligencer of Monday
makes the following important and
semi-official announcement:
We have satisfactory authority for
saying that, there is no foundation lor
the industrious representations multi
plied all over the country to the effect
that because the President has been
officially advised, and having with his
Cabinet approved the advice, of the
invalidity of the removals and appoint
ments of civil officers bv the usurping
commandants at the South, he is, there
fore, about to. rush precipitately to
complete nullification of all that has
been done by these Generals, without
discrimination and irrespective of expe
diency. These statements are altogeth
er groundless; and calculated to excite
and inflame in advance the disappro
bation of all who think they realize
that some progress, however little, has
been made towards a restoration of the
South, and who would, regret to see
this progressive movement thrust back
to its starting point. Even in such
flagrant examples of usurpation as
those of Sheridan in the cases of the
Governor and judges at New Orleans,
now that the wrong is to be redressed,
not avemed, the question is viewed as
one of rational expediency, to be gov
erned by the circumstances, as they'
are now, and not as they were when
the outrage has committed. We learn
that investigations are to be made, re
ports are to be had, and the- whole
matter deliberated upon as a practical
question in every one of these cases of
infraction of the laws of Congress and
the principles of the Constitution. In
a word, the President will act efficient-.
Iy, but he will act reinedially, not. vin
dictively. }

A New Political Party, f
Senator Wade's speech in Kansas, of
which sfre have a bnef notice by/ tele
graph, makes it clear that we fire to
have a political party based jon the
broadest and plainest doctrines /of agra
rianism.. A war on property is) to suc
ceed the war on slavery.
Confiscation is the fltst plank' in the
new platform. Gen, Butler declares
that “some plan must be devised by
which the lands of the South may be
divided among those who shall occu
py and till them.’’ That plan'is confis
cation, ostensibly in punishment for re
bellion, but really to take the lauds of
the South away from their white own
ers and give them to the negrof s. Gen.
Butler declares it to be a self-evident
truth that “where the land is \ held in
large tracts by the employer, fthere can
be no just and true field for (be exer
cise of Republican statesmanjship.”—
This is/certainly a new view of (the sub
ject. In order to secure a just atid true
field for the ingenuity and ambition of
men in public life, we mast have a new
distribution of property: in th$ South*
era States, '• / > > ' ■
This is' for the South, and its ti b jact is
to secure the negro - vote. Bat ft does
not go far enough. It covers tinly a
part of the ground, and leaves tire po
litical future ojpra to’too many cojtin-
gencies. So Senator Wade visits Kan
sas and proclaims there the . new ptilitr
ical gospel.
Besides confiscation in the South,
must insist upon a new distributio
not.only of- lands, hut, of!, all proper!
everywhere, “Congress,” said Mr. Wa<
“which hasdofte so much for the slave)
cannot quietly regard the terrible dis
tinction which exists between the la
borer and employer. Property is not
fiiirly 'divided, anti a more equal distri
bution must be wrought out.” These
evils are more seriously fc It, he said, at
the East than at the West. It is lair
to infers therefore; that the remedy,
whatever, it Jnay be, is to be applied
hete ‘ i —
BT B. H. BILL.
“Never despair of the Republic,” was
a much lauded Roman' maxim. But
maxims never saved a country,' and
this one did not save Rome. She was
very great. The combined world was
too weak io harm her. But she fell—-
fdl by her own hands—and lor. centuries
has remained fallen !
If good liberty-loving Americans al
most despair of their country, the
events of the last thirteen years would
seem to be sufficient to save them from
reproach. ' From tne repeal of the Mis
souri compromise until now, no period
in bum'an-annals of tbrice the duration
exhibits such deception among leaders,
such credulity among the people, such
treachery by rulers, and such energet
ic self-destruction by the nation.
The United States have, done more
in these years to weaken confidence in
free -institutions, and have inflicted
more injury upon their own people,
and created, heavier burdens for their
own children and children’s children,
than the united armies and navies of
the earth could have accomplished in
fifty years. Before these notes close I
may undertake to show the real causes
of these evils. It is sufficient now to
say that from 1854 a spirit which is en
mity to the life of the Constitution has
been dominant.. The Government has
been in the keeping of its enemies. We
read of a great man who, while an in
fant, was nursed by a wolf. This may
have been and may again be possible;
but it never bas been and never will be
possible for men of extreme tempers
and opinions to nurse a constitution,
whose only life is mutual concession for
thf common good.
The Southern people, greatly pro
voked and misguided, abandoned
the Union to preserve the Constitution.
While the Northern people, less pro
voked, but equally misguided, made
war to preserve the Union, by placing
themselves under the lead of men who
were the bitter, implacable enemies of
the Constitution, and who were fore-
determined to destroy or rcforiu it.
After four years of heroic struggle
the Southern people laid down their
arms because they were assured by
their enemies, and taught by long-trus
ted, but faithless counsellors and office
holders among themselves, that, by so
doing they would be again in the Union
as before. The many believed this and
withdrew tbeir support and deserted
their colors. The few who disbelieved
were overpowered. But more than two
years have passed—more than half the
period of the actual conflict—
and the Southern people, now thrice
deluded, have not enjoyed the b’essings
of the Union! Why? Because these
leaders of the North—true to their orig
inal hatred, and perfectly logical ,ip
that hatred—declare the Union shall
not be restored except upon terms
which practically destroy -the Constitu
tion, and whiph certainly leave no
Union except one founded in force.—
And thus far the. Northern people ei
ther have failed to comprehend, or
have consented to sustain their treach
ery) and, to give the last development
of their rtiost remarkable history, we
see some of our Southern counsellors,-
wbo u.»aed us into secession as the only
peaceful method of securing our rights;
Who-afterward led us to subjugation as
the/only method of escaping military
despotism; now boasling of the great
confidence heretofore reposed .in their
c/ounsel; advising us to accept the pro
jposed terms for a new Union 1 j
With such experience fresh and still
increasing, bow shall we wonder if true
meD doubt, if brave men tear and if
good men despair ? ■.
For thirteen years the actual revolu
has been right onward; and is still on
ward. He is-stupidly blind who does
not see that the evils before ns are far
;reater than the evils present and be
hind us. Our people have drank bit-,
ter cups, but they are as honey com
pared with the cups they must drink if
the child is not taken from the wolf, if
the Constitution is not taken from the
nutsing care of those who hate it, if the
govirnmen't shall continue to, he!,Ad
ministered by its enemies. ,
If an v thing 1 may Bay shaU tend,
however slightly, to avert the evils
which threaten the country, I shall not
only be satisfied but happy. I have no
party to serve, and no personal ends to
accomplish. . . . . .
1 frankly, admit my opinions , here
tofore have not been accepted by a ma
jority of the people, a have never
thoueht.that what the majority be
lieved was, therefore, true: or that what
the majority did was, therefore, right.
My politicallife has been but a strug-
oppose whatever fs contrary thereto —
for mark this : Whatever else people
and rulers may do, they cannot support
or preserve the Government by violat
ing its fundamental'law.
WHO ANN THEY W HO CONDEMN
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL >
We had hoped there was not a White
man*in Georgia who justified the milita
ry commanders in their enormous usur
pations of power over the oppressed and
down-trodden citizens oF the South.—
But it seems we were mistaken. There
are.men living in Georgia who .regret
very much that the Attorney General,
or the President should put any check
to the tyranny of the military cotoman 1
aers.- Like Thaddeus Stevens they
proless to believe that the opinion of
the Attorney General will, make a
meeting of Congress inevitable. We do
not see why this clear and unanswera
ble exposition of the Military bill
should render a meeting of Congress
necessary, unless a majority of Cpn-
gress wish to alter the law and make it
still more oppressive to the Couth. We
have never believed the Military law
would be a finality unless the Radicals
should feel sure that it was stringent
enough, to make the South vote for the
Radicals! If they fear it will not have
that efiect, they will alter it again until
they are satisfied it will, answer their
purpose. But if they wish to meet in
July, let them meet: Every day the
present' Congress remains in session it
will disgmt and drive oft thousand of
their adherents. A financial and politi
cal erisis is at hand and cannot long be
delayed. -The sooner it comes the
sooner will peace and prosperity return
Io our distressed country. No people
ever did, or ever will, prosper when
such men rule. It is the decree of
Heaven that when the ‘wicked rale the
people, mourn.- The more rope they
have the sooner they will hang them
selves. Let them meet as soon as they
please.—Federal Union.
