At Home Again.
Ron, Ga., July 4, ’67.
A fter an absence of six long, dreaiy,
bloody, years, that once venerated and
almost adored old gentleman, the “4(4
July," made his re-advent m our midst at
.day lifht this morning—amid the ring
ing of bells, beating of drams aind blow
ing of horns. Our citizens not dream
ing that “the old gentleman” would hon
our us, witbeut giviog previous notice,
with so unexpected a visit, were fright
ened almost out of iheir wits, cud en
tirely out of their beds, by the unusual
noise and boisterous demonstration
made, by “the old gentleman’s peculiar
friends,” over his return. Some very
amusing incidents occurred, which we
jot down for the entertainment of th*
readers of the Courier:
At a nameless boarding house in the
city, where some of the boarders are not
as “loyar as the Preaident of the Borne
Loyal League, the large, new bell, .re
cently erected to signal the'boarders to
their, frugal repasts, was rang, about
day light,'nuut wcifarputly, by. genlht-
mania blueproducinggreat fright and
consternation among’ the timid, sleeping
inmates of the house* Imagining the
city idos on Jtri, the landlord, and two
of iris nervous, lady boarderti rushed, pell
tnell out of the house, Without taking

>qe of the maiden sisters, with the spunk
of a spartan heroine, sprang to the bell
rope, knife iff hand, to cut it, and stop
the “jubilee,” when the herdie wringer
surrendered the cord, and remarked,
“I-guess yoa people don’t know : that
the Fourth of July come to town this
morning”! The other talXnuudee- sister
on bearing this was melted' to tears, and
cried for very joy. over the gladsome^neas,
that the good old fellow, whom all our c*l‘*
zeds had supposed dead, was certainly
alive and jubilant, and actually in orir
midst again 1 Glorious old PeUnolr-ntoy

shroud, made one vigorous charge oil

The day passed, off pleasantly, and
quietly, and the celebration of the ever
glorious Fourth of July wound up at
sundown; with a national salute by the
military. “Nobody hilftl”

A .Bay of Thanksgiving*
In referring to the extent of the
suggests that
war, the yielding. party submlto there
by all rights of person arid property,
andof political government to the will
of the conqueror. And that such ad
vice should be given, by thoqe. among
us, who prefess to be actuated for our
good can be explained only on the hy
pothesis that the real purpose is
to betray, "for a consideration.
The late war was either a rebellien,
or it was a civil war, or it was a foreign
war. Each name has advocates. Oth-
ereegain, give the war either, or all
these charasters by turns, as the. giving
of either or all can be supposed to jus
tify some oppression to the unsucces:-
ful piuty to the conflict. I shall not
stop to prove, that it was, what history
can ipnly call it, a civil war. Whether
it Was the one or the other, there is no
question in all international or munici
pal law better. settled, or settled on
more manifest foundations of natural'
reason, social justice and public faith,
than is the question of rights and pow
ers of ithe conqueror, and the obliga
tions and duties of the conquered.
All conflicts, whether between a sov
ereign and his subjects, or between two
parties in a government or republic, or
between .two independent nations, are
founded on some question, some differ
ence, making an issue between the par
ties which reason ha3 not been able to
settle.. The parties'take up arms to
solve the questiqn.and settle the issue
between tnem.
Every war ends by compromise, or
by one party y ielding to the other, ei
ther on t?rms or without terms. If
the end. is by compromise, the terms of
the compromise constitute the law of
the peace. If one party surrender on
terms, the law of peace is the issue of
the fight; qualified by tbe terms of the
surrender; if the 'surrender is without
terms, then all the questions involved in
the issue are settled io favor of the con
queror; but no question not distinctly
involved is settled or affected.
Now, two things must be distinctly
understood and fixed in the minds of
tbe reader:
l f Where must we look to find the
terms pa which the conflict ends, and
which make the law of the peace be
tween the parties!
2. At what time must these terms be
made known or agreed upon f
Wars between independent nations
are usually ended by treaty, and, of
course! we must look to the treaty of
p€ace to find the terms of the peace.—
What is not found in the treaty is hit
settled. So also in civil wars—treaties
are sometimes made and have the same
force and effect as when made between
independent nations. Usually, howev
er, treaties are bo* made between par
ties to civil war or a rebellion, because
the sovereign or party claiming to be
the legitimate government will not
treat with those wnom they persist in „ _
calling rebels, because to treat with “rent tranquility is not a peace;.it is
them is to admit a sort of implied in- “ormression which she endnres bnly
dependence or authority. Ib all such
cases, in order to find the terms ofthe
peace, we must look to the causes or
differences which actuated the. parties
ib taking up anus, to the declarations
and demands of the parties at the time
of beginning and during the progress
of the struggle; to tbe proinises made
or assurances proclaimed by the victor
to induce*the adversary to lay down
bis arms, and to tbe negotiations ana
terms of the surrender. Whatever is
net there found is not settled, and
forms no part whatever of the terms of
peace. I need not add that £
treaties, declarations and promises are
to be interpreted, not according to the
discretion of either parly, but in the
ght and according to the'rules of the
»»ws of nations and the established
i jrinciples of natural justice ’ and good
aith. ,
In the next place it must be stated,
that Whatever either party, in case of a
compromise or treaty; or the victor in
case bf a surrender, intends to demand
as a condition of the peace, must be
Blade known before or at tbe time the
treaty is made, dr before or at the time
the surrender is accepted: No party
agrees to what is not made known, or
surrenders to what is not olaimedi To
demand new guarantees after a treaty
has been made, is a breach of the treaty;
and to prescribe new terms of surrender
after the surrender has been accepted,
is deemed infamous bjt all mankind,
and in both cases is held to be a hew
and just cause of waft And Wheb such
conduct is exhibited toward ah adver
sary who has given up his arms and sub
mitted to the victor, and is thereby un
able to renew the war, the party guil
ty of it has no claim to the confidence
or respect of any people; for hd brings
the faith of promises into disrepute.
“The faith of treaties—constancy in
'falfilling our engagements—is to be
‘held sacred and inviolable, and
If mankind be not willfnlly deficient
-in their duty to themselves, infamy
“must ever be the porton of him who
violates his faith.” * * *
“in general, the sovereign w iose
“word ought ever to. he . sa-
‘cred Is bound to the faithrtll obser-
‘vaocecf every promise he has made,
“even, to I mean to such of his
have rebelled without reason
* ..*■ * * “But ty*
seditious,
“under the rod of arbitrary power.
’And if there existed no reasons to
“justify the insurrection, (a • circum-
’'stance which, perbaps uever happens)
“even in such case, it becornes necessary,
“as we have above, observed, to grant
“an amnecty, when the offenders are
'numeio-is. When the amnesty
'once published and accepted, aU the past
'must be buriedin oblivion^ nor must any.
one be called to account for what. has
“been done daring, the ( disturbances-”
fcatefci-v 7i,.
There are cases in which a party- tea-
conflict may increase his demands dur
ing the conflict,- or he may make these
demands during negotiations for peace.
He may demand the removal or the
causes which, in his judgment, produc
ed the conflict; or he may demand se
curities! for the observance of promises ;
or the expense of the war: or any other
terms which may reasonably tend . to
make the peace permanent. But in all
cases snch demands rndat be : distinctly
rie before tbe treaty is agreed, or
lore tbe surrender is accepted. To
make such demands afterward is a base
treachery, of which any power, great
enough to bs-a victor, ought to be deem
ed totally incapable. Even'in- cases of
revolt, when the revolters are subdued,
and sue for peace, the amnesty may. ex
cept the authors of the disturbance;
but even then, otly that they “may be
brought to a legal trial, anti punished if
found guilty.”
“At the present day it seldom hap-
“pensthat eitAer of the belligerents
“perseveres to the-last extremity be-
“fore be will consent to a peace.—
“Though-a nation may have lost sever
“al batiles, she can still defend herself;
“as long as she has men and arms re
gaining she is sot destitute of all re
source. If she things fit, by a' disad-
“vantageon> treaty, to procure a neces
sary peace—ifbv great sacrifices, she
“delivers herself from imminent' dad-
“ger or total ruin—the residue .which
“remains in her possession is still an
“advantage* for .which ,she is indebted
“to the p^ce; it was her. own .free
“choice to prefer a certain and immedi-
“ate loss, but of limited extent, to an evil
of more dreadful nature, which. tbpugh,
“yet at some distance, she had but, too
“great a reason to, apprehend.”—-Fait-
tel, ■ t .
But how does she have' a “residue of
rights remaining,”, .according to the
terms cf the peace. if new terms of to
tal ruin may be prescribed’ after the
peace ? How is the extent ; of Lhe loss
"limited’ by the terms of her surrender,
if unlimited exactions!Uiay.be made by
the victor afterward ? Whatever ttie
conqueror demands he must demand
while bis adversary has [“men and Arms'
remaining.” A conquered people are'
never “subject to the; will of the con
queror.” None but very barbarous peo
ple and Northern Radicals and South
ern renegades ever said so. A conquer-
ed people are subject- to the terms of
the conquesVmade known and demand:
ed before or. at the time the. conquest
is admitted, and tp no after terms or will
whatever; and .none but a treacherous
conqueror would demand, more; and
none buta more treacherops and very
base conquered would concede more.—
Rapacity only, claims more than the
bond. Servile cowardice alone consents
to more. “If an unjust and rapacious
“conqueror subdues a nation, arid forces
’‘her to accept of hard, ignominous arid
“insupportable ' conditions,' . necessity
“obliges ber to submit; but 1 this appa
rent tranquility Is not a neactt.it is an
“oppression Which she endures 'only so
“long aS she wants the means of shrik-
“ing it off and against which'men of spir
it rise on the first favorable opportnnity.
* * * Win any man pre
tend that a people so oppressed would
hot be justifiable in'seizing a favorable
“opportunity to recover their ■ rights, to
“emandpate themselves, and to expel
“orexterminate the horde of greedy,
‘insolent and cruel: usurpers F No t
‘such a monstrous absurdity can never-
‘be seriously maintained. Besides, Were
‘you to preach up- the contrary doc-
“trine, which is so repugnaht to all the

Must the' answer to, - the question of
this noble writer—who lived id a for

ropean despotism, be that proselytes to

I wish to call the Readers attention
to one rale to be observed in ascertain
ing the terms of* peace, and then we
will proceed to ap(jy i the rules to ascer
tain the terms of peacebetween the
parties to our late civil War. and what
are the rights ofthe conqueror and the
obligations ofthe conquered: The rule is
this: Sq far is it frpui being true that
thewiU ef the Conqueror is the law bf
the conquered, that all points of doubt,
in ascertaining the terms of the peace
as fixed before the surrender, are to be
construed i against the conqueror.
“In ease of doubt, the interpretation
‘goes against hint Who prescribed the
‘terms; for asit wte; in some measure,
“dictated by him, it was bis own fault
“if he neglected to express himself
■more clearly, and by extending or
‘restricting the signification of the ex-
ression to that meaning, Whipb.is least
