Friday Morning, April ! 2. 1807.
Let There be no Strife Between Da.
Wo lmve not lor noma time past addressed a
word of appeal, or even ol advice or counsel, to the
Fhkkdmkn In our midst. Perhaps wo have been
derelict in this, but there wero motives actuating,
which must now longer control us, and which
must henooforth no longer prevail ovor us—mo
tives, the result rather ol sensitiveness in this,
that wo did not dcslro to appear qfieitnu in ten
dering counsel to a ntco so recently in bondage
to ours. Tho timo has come, however, when we
must address both races—the whifeand the black
alike—in our midst. There must bo harmony,
not antagonism, between tho two races in tho
South. The destiny and welfare of each Is with
tho South. Each claims it as their native lim'd.
The ireedmau of tho South, must bo made to fool
and know that, there Is no Northern, no Western
home for him. Ho is planted as it were upon
Southern soil, and here he ’must advance and
flourish, or recede and perish, for no where else
within the limits of tho “Union" can ho enjoy the
advantages presented to him hero. It wore well
then for tho freed men within our midst to delib
erate seriously on their condition, the relatiou
they will bear to the South, and tho absolulu ne
cessity which requires that there shall bo no
strife between him and the white man ol South
ern birth and education, his former master. The
Southern white man is the freedman’s natural
ally. He is the treed man's beet friend; tho parly
most interested in tho freedmau's welfare. As
the black man advances in prosperity, so wilt the
white man. Every material interest of the one
Is identified with that of the other, and we are
gratified to see that this view of tho “situation"
is being taken by many ot tho most intelligent
colored men of tho South, nnd even in this city.
But recently, too, there was a political meeting
held in Nashville, at which a colored man, one
Alexander Williams, who had formerly been a
slave, and then asoldior in tho Federal army, who
desired to express the opinions of his race. The
request was acceded to, and tho following is re
ported as au extract from his speech :
"He came forward amid a shower of applause,
and thanked tho gentlemen present for tho priv
ilege of addressing his fellow-citizens. He said
slavery was abolished, and no law could restore
it; it was dead forever, and he, therefore, Could sec
no reaeon why the colored man could not adrocate
the cause of his former master, hut note best friend,
and hold and express his political sentiments
without being called rebels and copperheads.
The colored people ought to aid their old friends in
the South in restoring harmony and good govern
ment. _ Tlicir former owners were willing to lend
a helping hand, and the colored citizens should
aid them—they have the wealtli and capacity,
and we the strength and industry. He could *.
no reason why we should not work for our friends
and lots for them loo. He was proud to see what
had been doue to-day, and to hear the speeches
made. This was the place to give the colored
man his rights—Acre in the South, where there
are millions of colored men—not in the North,
beyond the Ohio. [Cheers.] Let us join humi
and hand lor the common good. We must agree
or there will be a falling out. The colored V‘»-
ple only asked to have their rights, and the
speaker felt confident they would be more easily
obtained from their old friends than their new
and pretended ones. Ho endorsed everything
that bad been said in the Convention, and wan
ready to lay down his life lor such principles.
[Applause.] The best lliiug to be doue is to
unite. If we do that, there wall be no danger of
failure.”
We commend the foregoing remarks to our
colored friends in Atlanta. Now that the effort
is being nrndo to promote strife between the two
races in the South, we commendswliat Alexander
Williams says to his colored brethren, to-wit . —
“The colored people ought to aid their old friends
in the South, in restoring harmony and good
government.” * * "ffe could see no good
reason why we [the freedmen) should not work
for our frieuds, aud vote for them too." * * *
"This was the place to give the colored man his
rights—here in the South."
A word more and we are done lor the present
Let us go back to any period before the war, and
we ask the colored man, then a slave, it the
Southern born master or mistress was not us
kind, at least, to him, as the master or mistress
hailing from New England or any oilier Northern
section? And we say to the freedmen now in
our midst, beware especially of those who, as
the star of tho lute Southern Confederacy was
setting, sold their slaves, pocketed the money got
for them, and are now vainly striving to use
them as a tool for their own personal aggran
dizement! There are many such cases with iti
the limits of this military district. Beware,
beware of them !
aud wo will then see returning prosperity nnd
happiness in ovory part of our vast territory.—
Tills U now ray most ardent wish. If I can be in
strumental in producing this result, I am content
that others hold tho olnucs nnd enjoy tho honors,
l shall do all I can to encourage loy ali y and obodl-
euce to tho constituted authorities. As a private
citizen (for I expect no publto position), I shall
contribute my liumblo part to uphold tho Hag, sus
tain the credit nndmniulain tho honor ol tho gov
ernment against every assault, In overy emergen
cy. I was a secessionist, nnd, ii you please, a bold,
ardent rebel. I conscientiously believed that wo
, conscientiously ucmn-u iuu.
had tho right ponceably to secede. Tho peoplo of
your section denied tliis right. Wo appealed to
the arbitrament of tho sword—no other tribunal
having jurisdiction of tho case. Tho decision
was in your favor. We are bound by it. I con
sider the judgment conclusive and tho settlement
llnnl. I took my parole as a military commander,
and tho amnesty oath in good faith. I have done
no act In violation of either, nor do I over intend
to in frituro. Tho Government of tho United
Stales is now my government—its flag is now
my flag. I choso both alter tho surrender hi
prcforouco to any other government or flag, and
I am determined, come what may, to act faith
fully nnd defend both. With tills fixed purpose,
it is natural that I should desire tho stabilily of
Iho government nnd the prosperity of tho whole
country ns the greatest earthly blessing.
In reply to your comments upon parlies 1
liavo only to say that I shall sympathise nnd en
courage our people to act in future with tho
party, uo matter by what name it may bo called,
which lias most ability to build up and restore
prosperity to tho land of my birth and tho home
ol my manhood, aud shows tho greatest disposi
tion to respect our rights as the broken section
of the Union. I do not intend to bo bound by
past predilection or prejudices. Wo iiave entered
upon a new era, aud I expect to take a practical
view of each question as it is presented. This I
believe to tie the intention of a majority ot our
people. After wo are restored to tlio Union, we
intend to discharge our obligations in good faith,
and we shall expect equal rights and equal pro
tection. Very respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, Jo "" ”

Kxkwtits Orncz, l
Jackion, Mill., April 0,1807. f
Whereas, much painful anxiety and appre
hension exists in tho public mind, resulting from
tho passage of the Military bill by Congress, and
tho general order of Goneral Ord In assuming
command ol tho Military District of Mississippi
nnd Arknusas. and whereas, iu some instances
tho regular administration of tho State govern
ment tins been unsettled to such an extent ns to
causo somo of tho officers of tho State to suspend
the functions of their offices; nnd many citizens
aro hesitating, whilo others refriso to pay their
taxea, upon tho assumed ground that tho tax col
lectors are not "ctftnpotont officers,” and there
fore aro not authorized to receipt lor tho same;
and as othor evils aud Irregularities may arise
trom tho uncertainty that exists ns to tho duties
and responsibilities of officers and citizens oi the
State In tlioir present situation, therefore, I deem
it proper to make known tiiat the act of Congress
commonly called the Military hill recognizes tho
existing civil government of tho Slate. It is true
that it is declared to bo provisional only, and in
nil respects subject to tho paramount au
thority of the United States—at any timo to
abolish, modify, control or supersede the same.
But until a cimngo is made in accordance with
the provisions of tliis law, I hereby give uolico to
tho civil olficeis of tho Stale that their relations
and responsibilities to the constitution of the Uni
ted Stall's, to tho State of Mississippi and to tho
people, remain unchanged, ami they will be hold
to a strict accountability for tho performance oi
tlicir duties iu carrying out the provisions of the
laws for tho maintenance of thecivil government,
and for tho full aud ample protection of all class
es of inhabitants of tho State, both white anil
black, in all of tlicir rights of person, property
liberty and religion. Aud I further advise ami
admonish all good citizens aud Inhabitants to
sustain the civil ofllcers in maintaining the peace
order and security of society—to ileal justly and
indulgently with each other, aud in their politi
cal helplessness, to devote themselves to pursuits
of industry, and to the production ot those ne
cessaries of iifo ior which they are so dependent
upon tho nmrkots of other States, nnd to offer
no resistance to any steps that may be taken iu
the reconstruction of tho State by the military
authority of the United States, except such as
may ho authorized by tho courts, under the con
stitution of tho United States. Military power
may become intolerable only when it is placed
in the hands of the vicious nml the unjust, which,
happily, is not tho case iu Mississippi. The Mili
tary bill makes no provisions lor the support of
the civil government. Taxes must be collected
by the civil ofllcers to support it and pay its
debts, and whenever any changes are made either
in the civil ofllcers or the duties required of them,
timely notice will doubtless be givon and duly
promulgated. B. G. Humphreys,

Ciios. O’Connor, iu the Supreme Court to dav,
asked leave to hand to the Clerk a copy of th s
petition of tho Stato of Georgia which, to-mo ■-
row, lie intcuds to asli leave to file. The ( our.
said ho could do so.
Attorney General Stanbcrry said tills peti ion
differed from that of Mississippi, in tho fact that
the President was not made a party to tho in
junction; ami further slated that Mr. Stanton,
in behalf of the military authorities, hail request
ed him to take entire control of tho defense.
The Court was requested, but declined to take
the order ns to arragementfor arguing this ques
tion. It is probable, however, Hint the motion
to file two petitions will be jointly argued.
A cabinet of samples of woot to govern Iho

i here are sixteen candidates for Commissioner
of Agriculture, including Mr. Newton, who seeks

Letter from Ex-Gov. Brown,
to u Western iilnn
Moat ol our Western exchanges contain the
following letter nddressed by Ex-Governor
Brown; ot this State, to a citizen of New Al
bany, Indiana. In transferring it to the columns
of the Intelligence!!, wo have to express our
regret at the manner in which Governor Brown
has been "assailed” by many Southern papers,
and his "motives impugned.” That this distin
guished gentlemnn, who has doue the Stale so
much service, was governed by a conscientious
conviction of duty, we are sure, and that lie
knew and understood the “political situation” of
the South, when he wrote the letter that lion
been so bitterly, nnd so scurrilously assailed iu
many quarters, no sane man will question. Ac
cording to his knowlcdedgc and his understand
ing, then, is it proper that he should be denied
the privilege of communing with Ids fellow-
citizens, or that, when he does so, lie should be
■ubject to such assaults as those to which we have
| referred above ? Surely not! Let those rather
who do not see iu Governor Brown's letter
aught to approve, expose either its fallacies, or
ita want of patriotism; its errors or its deficiency
in logic; but iu doing so, let them preserve their
own self-respect, at least, by avoiding a resort to
peraonal reflections and scurrilous abuse, a course
by no means maintaining the dignity ot the
press. The presses which have so committed
themselves should remember that there is no ur-
i gument in abuse, no logic in scurrility; and that
uo weapons in political warfare arc so impotent
as they. Tho time indeed lias come—it is upon
: us so that no man can escape from it—wlieu
, temper must yield to a wise policy; when unity
| ol action shall mark the course of our people;
5 when angry controversy must cease; or the
I South will become a mere dependence upon the
f North, and her people leit with liberty alone—to
l obey the laws prescribed for their government.—
f Governor Brown’s views may not be acccpta-
1 ble to many, but they are entitled to at least as
much reepectful consideration os the opinions of
any press that lias thought proper to denounce
| them :
Atlanta, March 23,1867
I Dear Sir— Your communication came to hand
' yesterday, aud 1 have read with pleasure the kind
> expressions it contains. 1 have been bitterly as-
, sailed by many Southern presses, and my motives
.. impugned, on account of my letter on the 23d
ultimo. I acted from a conscientious conviction
of duty. I kuow the situation, and had no doubt
that it was the liest for both North and Soutli
. that this vexed question be forever settled, aud
■, as speedily as possible. We, as tbe conquered,
can expect no better terms than those contained
• in the Sherman bill. Your people, as the con
querors, can never have a high state of proajieri-
I ty while this section is prostrate and her interests
paralyzed. Uuder existing circumstances, the
’ welfare of the whole country will be bestpromo-
{ ted by the prompt acceptance ot tbe terms on
- our part, in good fuitb, and a faithful adherence
1 to the pledges contained in the act on your part,
l We must accept the act as a final settlement, and
I you must then admit us to representation; and
we must all shake hands over past dillercnccs.—
Let the old family of sister Stales again assemble
around the common council board. Let cadi
. drop a tear over the follies and misfortunes of
- tlie p«zt, and let all resolve in future that all dis
tracting sectional Hgiiutions shall lie banished
from the bail of legislation, and that the promo
tion ot the best interests of the whole country, , uiu um
I and all itz parts, shall be our highest ambition, | evening
was met yesterday by Governors Worth,
Nortli Carolina, and Orr, of this State, for tlie
purpose of having a free conference upon the
preliminary details of reorganization under tlie
Reconstruction bills. The interview was, wc
understand, mutually agreeable and satisfactory.
Amongst tlie results attained we may mention
the following:
The details of registration will be immediately
prepared by direction of Gen. Sickles, and piit
into operation ns soot
. soon as persons can be fouini
to act in tlie capacity of registers, who are quail-
lied uuder the provisions of the Supplemental
bill to do sb.
No elections of Municipal or Stale ofllcers
will he held in either of the States -until tlie
Conventions which are to be called slmli have
met nnd adopted new constitutions. No civil
odicer will be removed who faithfully discharges
his duties. b
Whenever vacancies occur by reason ot tlie
expiration of the tenure of office, by death,
resignation or otherwise, they will tie filled by
appointments to be made by the Governors of
these States, if the officers are of tlie character
elected by tlie General Assemblies, unless special
reasons to tlie contrary should arise, or by Ihe
Commanding General, if they are of the class
elected by popular auflrage.
Governors Worth aud Orr leave tho city this
morning tor their respective capitals, ami tliev
will devote themselves assiduously to the great
and difficult responsibilities ol the work of
reconstruction.
It is a matter of profound congratulation that
such cordial relations subsist between the mili
tary and civil authorities; aud we earnestly
hope that nothing may occur to mar a harmony
which will contribute so much to tho progress
and prosperity of these States— Charleston Cou

Tlie Itrpoi-tccl Muxancre at Fort Buford
Wholly Improbable.
We are very glad to he able to relieve tlie so
licitude of Iho public, and more especially of
Col. Rankin’s family nnd frieuds, by some facia
which we have received through the courtesy of
Gen. Sherman. He, himself, does not credit tlie
story of the massacre, aud we believe little other
support can be given to tlie horrible statements
going the rounds of the press than the letter a
gentleman of Philadelphia, whose name is not
given, is said to have received from Fort Rice.
Premising that the following is dictated by Gen.
Sherman, we plnce it before our readers, trusting
that it will suffice to allay the npprehensions
which may have been created :
Tlie last official dates from Ft. Buford, at tho
mouth of the Y’cllowstone river, embraces the
official post returns lor December, during which
month the Sioux approached tlie post in a hos
tile manner, but were driven away without loss
to the garrison. In the possession of a gentle
man of St. Louis is a privute letter from Colonel
Rankin in his own handwriting, dated January
16th, at which time he was not uneasy regarding
his position. He did not ask for any reinforce
ments, but suggested that cavalry should tie sent
there to pursue Indians beyond reach of tlie
post. Official dates from Ft. Rice, which is
about 250 miles lower down the Missouri, are up
to February 25th, and make no mention what
ever of any massacre of tlie garrison at Ft. Bu
ford, or of Mrs. Rankin having come there in the
extraordinary manner detailed in the Philadel
phia letter.
The massacre was first reported to have oc
curred ou January 15th, which is impossible
from tlie receipt of Rankin’s own letter of the'
16th. Also, the date of tlie letter from Fort Rice
to the gentleman in Philadelphia is February
25th, and this can hardly be trustworthy, since
official communications from that fort, and ol
same date, report nothing of tlie kind. In cor
roboration also, tlie post return of Fort Sully for
tho whole month of February, is received yit
nothing is said about tliis matter then. All con
cur in reporting tlie weather ns very severe; suf
ficiently so to account for tho non arrival of the
usual couriers from the upper posts. No credit
is due to tlie report ot this massacre, but there is
cause lor some uneasiness in view of tbe known
enmity of theSiux, who liavo threatened lioslili-
ties ever since last summer.
In view of the above, on tbe authority of Gen.
Sherman, tlie lalsity oi tlie following telegram
from Washington some dnys ago becomes spe
cially apparent:
“A letter from the wife of a distinguished army
officer at St. Louis, received hero confirms the
report of tlie capture ot Fort Ruford, at the
mouth of the Yellowstone. Colonel Rankin, iiis
wife, children, and tlie whole garrison were
slaughtered—iu all eighty souls.
CoiitfrcNMioinil.
Washington, April 11.—Senate..—A resolu-
lution was introduced calling on the President
for any legal opinion officially given him regard
ing the Tenure of Office bill. Passed.
Resolutions fixing a day for adjournment oc
casioned a characteristic debate, and developed
the fact that the Senate is willing to divide
offices—half radicals nnd half democrats—but
the President is firm, and determined to adhere
to his friends. Iu reply to the argument that
unless the President yielded, and during recess
placed persons in office objectionable to the
Senate, lie should be put out .of llie way, Mr.
Fessenden replied that the President, equally
with tlie Senate, was a part ot the government,
and might, with equal propriety, threaten to put
the Senate out of the way unless it accepted his
measures. Tlie whole question was indefinitely
postponed. Executive session.
Tlie applications of one hundred and fifty,
three former United States officers, llfty-lour
members of Congress, and one hundred ami lour
prominent Conlederate officers, aro on file in tlie
Attorney General’s office for pardon.
It is understood that the President has legal
advice of his right, the Senate failing to confirm
his nominations, to till offices vacant previously
to the passage of the Tenure of Office bill.

Thf. Wheat Chop in Middle Tf.nnesoee
—Tlie McMinnville Enterprise of tho Sth instant
says : “We Imve recently traveled through por-
mtjn . it u iiiitu ituiimy tiutctcu uiiuugil jltM*
lions of tlie counties of Warren, Putnam, Smith
and DeKulb, and find tho wheat crop to be very
promising in appearance. The stand is unin-
I'orndy good, witli no evidence of any injurious
efiocta from either tlie winter or the fly. The
breadth sown appears to bo large, and tho in
dications are, that with a favorable season, we
sliajl have one ol the finest wheat crops we have
iiad for a number of years. The prospect of a
good wheat crop is very encouraging to the
farmers. No section produces a better qunlity
of wheat than Middle Tennessee, and none
commands a higher price in the markets.—
Should tlie yield tie such as we sometimes have,
the surplus raised, ill present prices will bring
money ty our section."
One singular fact, says Young's History of the
War, in connection with tlie death of Mr. Lin
coln, is, that no coroner’s inquest was ever held
on his body ; no legal evidence taken us to the
manner of bis death, nor was a single person ac
cused of connection witli it, ever brought into a
court of law ; nor is there to this day”any legal
testimony whatever us to the manner of his
death, tlie cause of it, or who killed him.
The raid on the “chignons" still continues—
Thu London Lancet says it is certain that many
ladies carry about them in tlicir chignons the
seeds of ringworm, which itcallsau “intractable
malady.” It also says that much of tlie hair
used for chignons is “church-yard hair,” pulled
li'om tlie scalps ot the dead.

in it five children. The calamity is one of heart

the most despairing grief, as well as filled tho
community with profound sorrow. Tho fol
The remains of Major William D. Conyers,

ble engagements around Spoltsylvania Court
House, and was buried near by tho field, were
brought to his homo in this city on Sunday last,
and ou Monday rednterred in tho family grave
yard. Tlie large concourse of our citizeus who
followed tlie hearse to tlie grave, and gave to
tlie bereaved family their prolound sympathy,
attested tlie estimation in which this most gal
lant soldier was held. He was one ot those in
genuous youths who constituted the civil orna

armies, distinguished alike by an early enthusi

The End of a Gourmand.—A celebrated
character lias disappeared from tlie Palais Royal,
* arls. Rene Lartique was a Swiss, and a man
of about sixty. He spent tbe third of his life
at dinner. Every morning at 10 o’clock bo was
to be seen going into a restaurant, and in a few
moments was Installed in a corner, which he
only quitted about three in tbe afternoon, alter
having drunk 0 or 7 bottles ol dillerent kinds of
wine. He then walked up and down tbe gar-
den till the clock htruck five, when he made his
appearance again at tlie same restaurant, aud
always at the samejilace. His second meal ul
which lie drank quite as Much as at the first
invariably lasted till half-past nine Tlierelorr,’
he devoted nine hours a day to eating aud’
drinking.
Arrested.—Messrs. J. B. Clayton, |Thomas
D. Garvin, J. C. C. Parsons, and others, whose
names are un.tuown to us, imve been arrested by
tbe military authorities, and carried to Greenville
and required to enter into bond lor their appear
ance at a tiiture day. The charge against these
gentlemen, ns we learu, is the killing of Benson
Crane during the war.—Pickens Courier.

„ profound sorrow. Tho follow
ing are the particulars tiiat have readied us:
file dwelliug occupied by Air. Blitzer was a
rattier small two-story house. Tho lower apart
ments were occupied ns sitting room, kitchen
and pantry, the upper rooms being occupied by
tlie tumily for bed rooms. The famiiv of Air.
Blitzer consisted of himself, wito, six children
and an apprentice. The eldest of the children
was a girl about twelve years old, the youngest
an infant of a few months. A little boy two
years old was at Airs. Blitzer’s parents, tlie other
children being at homo on the fateful night. Air.
and Mrs. Blitzer, with the babe, occupied one
room , tlie four children aud the apprentice sleep
ing iu another. About eleven o’clock Airs.
Blitzer arose, lit a candle, and descended to the
pantry for some milk lor the babe, which she
gave it, and then pul it in tlie cradle it occupied
by Um bedside. Laler in tlie night, about twelve
o clock, as is supposed, the apprentice was awak
ened by the eldest child, who aroused him by
shaking him. Tlie girl did not speak, as the room
was then filled with smoke to sufiocation, and
the apprentice found himself so nearly suffoca
ted, that he could not speak. He rushed at once
to the room of Air. Blitzer, and aroused him by
shaking him. Mr. B. awakened his wife, and
rushed down stairs, followed by her, neither, tor
tlie moment, thinking of the babe. Throwing
open an outside door, a draft was created, nnd
Hie whole premises sprang into a blaze. The
apprentice returned to the other chamber, but
the smoke and heat had so increased tiiat lie at
once sought lo descend, but found that Im
possible, aud jumped from the window of the
room to the ground. After getting outside,
Air. Blitzer made several Irantic attempts to
re-enter Hie house to rescue his children, but
tailed in each etlort. The house soon fell,
burying in the debris the remains of the five
children. It is supposed that the children were
sutiocaled to deuth with the smoke, before tbe
flames could reach tlicin. The girl who awakened
the apprentice, it is thought, sank down upon
the floor, dying ot that bedside at once, as her
remains were found iu a position indicating such
a fact. The presence of mind of the little crea
ture, which enabled tier to awaken the appren
tice, without doubt saved tho life of her parents,
though she was at the time in tlie very agonies
of death. Tlie act was an instauce of Hie most
touching heroism, and well worthy of precious
memory.
The origin of tlie tire is a matter of theory,
and the one generally accepted is tiiat Airs. Blit-
zer, in going into tho pantry with the candle,
unconsciously set something on fire—papers on
the shelves, perhaps—from which tho conflagra
tion ensued.
Tlie charred remains of the five victims of tho
merciless element were buried in one grave on
Thursday, the solemn ceremonies beiug attended
