ATLANTA. GEORGIA
Friday Morning. Way 10. 186/4
Truth forelklr Spoken.
Tao New York Express, In an article on the
“ Capabilities of the South,” utters the following
acuUmcnt: “If tho North," It says, "will be
content with non-lnt«rfbrence with Southern so
ciety—if it will let tho people, white and black,
act in their own Interest*—If it ceases all politi-
! cal proselyting, it will soon find labor more set
tled, education mors diffused, agricultural pros
perity more general, and tho country more pros
| perous." Never was truth more timely uttered,
tor the reverse of all this is unhappily the case,
i Tho North, or rather that political party in the
| North, which now governs both North and South,
will not let the latter alone—to take care ot its
own interests. It Is even now laboring with i
to make political proselytes, rather than promo-
. ting, as it should do, tho material interests ol a
ravaged land, thereby advancing the prosperity
• of tho whole country. The efforts of this radi
cal party in the North, are now being zealously
directed to secure tho treedmen’s votes, rather
I than to promote their eduration and Impress
: upon them the necessity of labor lest they perish
by the way. It Is rather directed to array the
, black against tho white man, his former owner,
, than to promote good will between the two races.
| Into the political cauldron the Ircedman is to be
■ harried that he may emerge therefrom, on the
’ day of election, seething hot with real to uphold
by his vote the radical party. Tho South is not
( to be let alone to take care of her own interests.
; With all her iron, and coal, and slato, and mar-
1 ble; with all her lead, silver, and gold mines;
with all her water power and fertile soil; enough
to constitute her the greatest producing country
on tho American continent, variety of produc
tions considered, and to make her, by well-di
rected labor and the use of capital, capable in a
few years of attaining all her former prosperity
and contributing largely to tho support of the
government; she will not be let alone, but must
pay tribute to a parti/ in tho North at the hazard
of her every important interest, and at the risk of
converting into barbarism a race which they de
sire to use for political purposes, that they may
retain political power. He, however, “ who dis
poses while men proposes,” and wno, in His
wisdom, has ordained tho freedom of the slave,
will surely save tho South and the dependent
race that has just been freed, from the fate of
becoming victims to political demagogues and
office-hunting politicians. Wo lay this Hops to
our heart, aud slinll ehcrish it there, till “ the
good time cometh.”
memorial Ceremonies.
The Newbem (N. C.) Journal states that the
carrying out of the programme of the ‘‘Memorial
Association" at that place on Thursday, the 2d
instant, wss, as regarded a procession, prohibited
by the military. A large concourse, however, of
citizens assembled at the cemetery to witness
the laying of the corner-stono of the vault pre
pared to receive the Confederate doad. Tbo
ceremonies, says that journal, “ were imposing
and appropriate; the prayer by the Itev. Mr.
Yaas was a noble one; the ode sung by a few
of the ladies and gentlemen was solemn, yet
touchingly beautiful; the oration was chaste,
admirably written, and delivered in a style well
suited to the occasion.
“ At the close of the oration, tho persons se
lected descended into the vault, and deposited
within the cemented pillar the following arti
cles : A copy of the Holy Bible; first Confede
rate flag; second Confederate flag; Confederate
battle-flag; photographs of Davis, Leo, and
I„l.—..— . ii „r ..oi :— rut.
the officers of tho Ladles’ Memorial Association

was capped, and securely cemented, tho doxol
ogy was sung, tho benediction was pronounced,
and the large and attentive crowd retired from
the scene.”
All over the South similar ceremonies mark
tho appreciation of our people for their Confed
erate dead. In but few instances have tho mill
tary authorities, much to their credit be it writ
ten, interfered in any manner to prevent tho
mournful ceremonies attending tho discharge
so solemn aduty. What though these dead were
arrayed in life with arms in their hands to de
fend what they esteemed to be their dearest priv
ileges and rights, have they not expiated with
their lives, what may be esteemed by tho victors
in the contest .their error or their crime; and
may not their countrymen, and countrywomen
their widows, sisters, and brothers, mourn over
their sad fate, and deck their graves with flow
era, mementoes of the past? Christian sympa
thy does not deny, nor does enlightened patriot
ism prohibit it. Loyalty to the existing govern
ment is not violated in the discharge of these
solemn rites; nor is disrespect, in the slightest
degree, shown to that flag which now waves in
triumph over the wide bounds of the American
Republic. Wo ore gratified at being able to
state, that iu this vicinity the solemn ceremonies
referred to are progressing with no interference
from the military authorities of this district,
to prevent or restrict them. This district is for
tunate in having as its chief commander a sol
dier and gentleman, who, while executing with
fidelity to the government the high trust reposed
in him, docs not think it proper to interfere with
the sad tribute which a vanquished people pay
to their valiant dead.
Personal,
Wo had the pleasure of a visit yesterdny from
Mr. T. O. Jacob, of the Monroe Ailcertiser, a
sprightly weekly paper published at Forsyth, in
that county. Mr. Jacob will remain in our city
for a day or two, aud will call upon our mer
chants and business men for the purpose of pre
senting the claims of the Ailcertiser as an adver
tising medium to them. We cordially commend
both the gentleman and his journal tp them.
The location of the latter, and its circulation,
render it valuable as an advertising sheet, while
as a family paper it Is u most excellent one.
Hunnlng lo Seed.
There is no mistake about it—the signs indi
cate that the Rndical party North is getting in a
bad way. The thousands of unemployed me
chanics in every city and town, tho stoppage of
hundreds of factories, the destruction of the
shipping interests, and the oppressive and crush
ing taxation on labor and industry while bloated
and ill-gained wenlth goes free—these, the work
of Rndical legislation aud Radical policy, are
doing the business lor the party, and will ulti
mately bury it beyond the hope of resurrection.
We would respectfully suggest to Mr. Wilson
and his missionary co-laborers now in the Ter
ritories, that they had better hurry home; their
services ure needed more In that direction than
this. As to those Southern men who, under the
mistake that the party is to endure forever, are
rushing frantically into its meretricious embrace,
they would do well to call a halt occasionally,
and go to thiukiug a little—their new-born zeal
is ouly likely to lead to disappointment—yea, to
political death.
The Cemetery at Raleigh.—There are
now buried in the memorial cemetery at Ral
eigh, N. 0., three hundred and twelve North
Caroliuians, forty-six South Carolinians, forty-
four Georgians, eight Alabamians, eight Missis-
sippians, four Virginians, two Floridians, two

Arkansian, three Confederate States navy men,
and one hundred and six unknown dead.—

Ii*t No* (« Wrong,or Sanction VTroac,
Through Four of Confiscation.
Mr. Enrron—I was recently favor*!) by tho
Hon. Robert C. Bchenck, of Ohio, with a copy of
the late speech ot Hon. Thad. Stevens, of Penn
sylvania, on confiscation and other matters; and
having read it carefully, and considered it in all
it* bearings, I am constrained to say that his de
signs and policy in relbiencc to tho Boutlioro
people, ought not to receive the sanction of tho
American people.
In saying this much, I am but reflecting tho
sentlmenta of every true Union man Sonth. By
this, I do not mean Union Leagues, who have
divested thomselves of their liberty, by secretly
subscribing to an oath to support the edicts, and
obey tho calls, of the Republican Congressional
Executive Commlttco, or of a grand council of a
secret political order ot Washington; for it seems
to me, that this Union League party, in their
"iwM Aunt for office," have lost sight ol the Union
under the Constitution, and havo by their new
affiliations, become mere office seeking partisans,
and allies of n class of men, whose purposo is to
hold power, and whose governing principles de
mand the overthrow of the Constitution.
Tho true Union men ot tho nation, as I under
stand them, have nover yet given their sanction
either lo tho suicidal and disorganizing doctrine
of secession, or the equally pernicious and dan
gerous doctrine of tho higher-law abolition party.
No. They were true to tho Union under tho
Constitution during tho long, long night of re
bellion, anxiously hoping and praying for the
triumph of conservative wisdom; and that mad
dened and crazy lenders, both North and South
should return to their senses, and again rcaumo
their places in society as good, law-abiding citi
zens—chastened and made better by disappoint
ment in visionary and impracticable schemes.
When tho rebellion collapsed, and the war
closed by the surrender of the Confederate army,
we felt that punishment enough had fallen on
the poor deluded men o( the South. Their hearth
stones desolate, their fields laid waste, their
towns aud cities in ashes, their estates wasted;
their millions of property in slaves taken lrom
them, their money exhausted, and nothing left
but fenceless, uncultivated, and houseless (arms
aud plantations; without means to repair, or to
hire labor to till them. And yet Mr. Stvvens is
not satisfied. Further confiscation aDd spolia
tion is demanded to satisfy the revengeful, dark
and malignant promptings of the unchristian
spirit of an old, infirm, but talented and danger
ous man
Not satisfied with the blasted hopes and
wrecked fortunes of deluded secessionists—not
satisfied with the infinite mischief he has done
the black man in our midst, by the loo great and
sudden change in his relations with tbo white
man; more, and still more is demanded. More
property must be seized, and not only this—i
deadly antagonism is to bo engendered between
tbe laces; and the black man Is encouraged to
plunder the white man of his “jewels of silver,
and jewels of gold, and raiment;" and to go
forth full-handed, after spoiling tho whites of
their possessions. Not satisfied with the already
developed evil fruits of the “ higher law ” doc
trine, he foreshadows and encourages tbe lurther
“ plagues of intestine wars”—race against raco in
deadly conflict. Can he by such egregious folly
expect to restore peace, re-union, and prosperity,
to our now distracted country? Does he look
upon the measures and policy he advocates ns
refining process, by which the heterogeneous and
incongruous elements of society, can be amalga
mated and come lorth homogeneous ? And Is he
not ignoring the old constitution, and trampling
it under foot, that ho may substitute another,
more in conformity with tho higher law doc
trines, which drove our hot-headed Southerners
uu euu iu pumsuuiL-m. oi seovssiuuisis r ii sucu
are his views and purposes—if more punishment
has yet to he inflicted—if more property has yet
to be taken—if thefts and robberies are lo bo en
couraged—if tho plagues ot intestine wars, are
to be re-cnactcd—if race must yet war against
sink, and tho mighty waters of the ocean close
over us forever.
This horrible programme of Mr. Slovens cau
surely never prevail. Thcenligbtened and intel
ligent North can never sanction propositions so
monstrous; aud even Iho black man of the
South, unlettered as be is, will not hesitate to re
buke tho author of such stupendous contempla
ted mischief.
Ruin, final, irretrievable ruin to our whole conn
try, will ensuo from the adoption ol his measures,
and I cannot closo this letter without warning
our people, North and South, black and white,
to rebuke and shun these doctrines and purposes
of tho Republican party, as enunciated and held
forth by their great leader, the Hon. Thnddeus
Stevens, as they would the scourge of pestilence
or tho withering blasts of a deadly sirocco.
Here it wns my purposo to close this commit
mention, but having just received a copy of the
i Daily Opinion," containing an article from
“A Union Man," I beg your further Indul
geuee while I briefly notice said article. The
writer begins by speaking of me as “ formerly a
Union man." 1 was once recognized ns a Union
man. Then I was opposed not only to secession
but was equally opposed to the higher law doc
trine of tho abolition party, and I am not now
conscious ol having undergone any chango of
sentiment. I then opposed all higher law doc
trines which threatened the integrity of the
Union. I ain equally opposed to them yet.
Having undergone no change ol sentiment,
I feel no dishonor in being applauded by those
who, in the delirium ol tho secession mania,
threatened me with banishment, or with a halter.
Nor do I consider them dishonored In acknowl
edging nu error. 1 can forgivo them. They
knew not what they were doing. They are now
convalescent, and are willing to do me justice,
aud lo make amends for tho past. 1 have never
deceived them. They wanted me to go witli
them out of the Union. I refused, telllug them
they were going the wrong road. They have
found by sad experience that I told them tbe
truth, and are willing to do me justice.
When they were wrong, I opposed them;
when they are right, I am with them
Higher law abolitionism was wrong, and I
opposed it. It is yet persisting in wrong,^ud 1
yet oppose It.
The Union, under tho Constitution, made us
prosperous and happy. Opposing the Union
by secession, involved us in a war and desolation.
A return lo tho Union, under the Constitution,
even with slavery abolished, would Bgain make
us prosperous aud happy. The Republican
party, os I understand them, are opposed to the
restoration ol tho Constitutional Union; and
consequently, they will have to do without my
vote, or my support.
The writer alludes to “ tho party that saved
the Union.” I do not know ol any party which
wus exclusively engaged in saving the Union.
Douglas men, Bell men, Lincoln men, Demo
crats, Whigs, and Republicans, all engaged in
opposing secession ; and their united efforts were
successful in the suppression of rebellion.
And yet the “higher law" abolition party
claims all the honor—(of what? not of saving
the Union) and the exclusive privilege of remod
eling, aqd controline the powers of govern
ment.
Andrew Johnson was ali right with the radi
cals when his powerful aid was necessary to
hold rebellion in check. So was I right with
those new-born disciples of the radical party
during tho war; but now, because, like Johnson,
I remain true to a Constitutional Union, 1 must
be spoken of as “ formerly a Union man."
I risked life, and reputation, and property, in
opposing secession; and I shall not now cower,
when threats of conflBcation are held over me
by radical Union leagues. Yours truly,

Ksntueky—A clean sweep.
By the article below, which we take lrom
tho Louisville Courier ot tho 7th instant, It
will be seen that tho Democrats have made a
clean Bwcep In Kc-ntuoky—elected the entire
congressional delegation. Radicalism, with all
the efforts that havo been made, tho lavish ex
penditure ot money, aud tho application of
force, appear* to bo of slow growth In Kentucky.
The Courier says:
By the returns which wo publish this morn-
lnir it will bo Been that tho Democracy havo
carried every district in tho State, and by ma
jorities largely exceeding. In proportion to tho
vote cast, thoso given for Judgo Dnvnll last
year. Nothing liko full returns are yet in from
the Eighth and Ninth districts, where tho Radi
cals claimed to havo most strength, and in
which they confidently expected to elect their
candidates, but enough is given to show that
both Young and Adams havo beaten their com
petitors.
Saturday's work is ono of which Kentuckians
mny well feel proud. Our State hna elected an
unbroken Democratic delegation to Congress,
and thus proves that she is the home of a peo
ple who love liberty and are truo to tho Con
stitution and the Government ot our fathers.
Kentucky speaks with the concentrated voice
of her sons her deep condemnation of the revo
lutionary principles ol that party which, in
enfranchising the negro, seeks to enslave white
men.
Henceforth let it bo understood tlmtneilhor
Radicals nor disorganizers have any foothold
in any part of our true and gallant old Com
monwealth. The glory and honor of being
the first, since the commencement of the cursed
reign of radicalises, to send a united Democralic
delegation to Washington to battle for the Con
stitution belongs to our Stato.

Famine In Sonth Carolina.
Tho Charleston Mercury ot the 8th contains
reports from different portions oi tho State, set
ting forth the distress and suffering among the
peoplo for want of food. From these the desti
tution is almost beyond conception. We copy
two or three of the reports:
Waterloo, Laurent District—There are in this
smnll neighborhood upwards of three hundred
persons, white and colored, without bread;
among these are twenty-throe females, heads of
families, representing ninety children.
Lexington District—1 havo a list of poor, con
sisting of old men unable to work, and widows
with small children and no resources. These
are now in a state of beggary and want. We are
in tbe raided region, and one person is not able
to assist another.
Richland Diitrict—Including the burnt city of
Columbia. I have on my list lour hundred and
fifty nnraeo, representing one thousand six hun
dred and seventy persons, most, if not all of
whom most be feu from day to day by charity,

colored. We are in great and immediate want.
Sandy Dun, Lexington Diitrict—There is great
destitution in this section, both among white and
colored. 1 know of twelve lamitles who are But
tering for bread, and am certain there are at least
as many moro.
The list occupies some three columns in the
Mercury, made up ot statements like tbe above.
Another Indian Massacre.—The Indians
seem to bo having things pretty much their own
way. Tbe following is tbe latest from Arizona:
On tho 2d of March, two teams belonging to
residents of Lopos, returning from Prescott, in
charge of two drivers, and accompanied by five
men, were fired iuto with guns by a parly of
about forty Apache Indians, and ono tnau killed.
The scene of the casualty was about eight miles
from Lopos, on the side of Date Creek. Two
of the men were wounded, and they, with the
two others who were unhurt, escaped. Tbe In
dians destroyed part of tho harness of tho teams,
rifled the wagons and run off tho stock, consist
ing of eighteen mules and lour horses. About
throe hours nfter the occurrence another train of
wagonB came up, and being prepared, attempted
to recover the stock. They followed them to a
camp in the mountains, to the north ot the road,
where they were charged by tho Indiantmnd re
pulsed, and the Indians again made off with
their entire booty.

POUNDS CLEAR BACON SIDES,
The Injunction Case.—The correspondent
ot tbo Charleston Courier, says, in reference to
the injunction cases:
It is whispered that four of tbo justices—Clif
ford, Grier, Wayne and Nelson—will be against
the motion ot the Attorney General to dismiss
the bills. It may be surmised also that Justices
Davis and Field, who have a political future be
fore them, may also be unwilling to evade the
question by a resort to technicality. If tho court
refuse to dismiss the motion, then tho bills for an
injunction will be entertained, and again tully
argued, though perhaps not at tho present term.
Found.—The Augusta Constitutionalist of the
9th says: Yesterday afternoon the body of Mr.
Patrick Gray, who has been missing since Satur
day last, was discovered by a fisherman, Mr. U.
H. McDermon.in the river at Kirkpatrick’s bend,
which is about a mile below tho bridge. Tho
body, when found, was lying face downwards,
and lmd drifted against the point of land. The
coroner’s jury rendered a verdict that the deceas
ed came to his death by drowning in tbo Savan
nah river while laboring under temporary in
sanity.

Old Kaintuck.—Tbe Louisville Courier says,
among tho other questions settled by the people
ol Kentucky, last Saturday, at tbo polls, was that
concerning the proscription of men for their an
tecedents. Horeaftcr no ono is to bo banned
merely because of bis action or sympathy with
the Confederate cause during tho late calamitous
war. Both wings ol the opposition insisted
upon that test, and the peoplo of the State lmvo
entered their protest by an overwhelming ma-
Jority.
Tennessee.—There is said to be some cxclto-
ment in Tennessee, growing out of the report
that Brownlow’s mclish aro to be sent to the
West to give the Indians a taste of their prowess.
Tliore Is no sort of doubt about the government
having tli« right to send them there, and certain
ly such unselfish loyalists will not Hesitate to go
wherever the government thinks their services
are most Ii ceded.
Forney.—John W. Forney, in his speech to
a colored delegation which waited upon him
just before ho “sailed away to Bea,” said :
“I.believe the day is coming, and that it is not
ar distant, when, from the State or South Caro
lina there will be In the halls of Congress a black
man, abler than John C. Calhoun ever wns, and
that there will go from the State of Kentucky, at
leust as able a black man as Henry Clay.”
Found It.—Quite a commotion was kicked
up in Kansas City a few days ago, growing out
of the report that the body of a child had been
found in an out-of-the-way street of that flourish
ing borough. The indefatigable coroner at once
summoned a jury, and they, proceeding to the
place indicated, dug up—a rag baby /
Dreadful Burlesque on Marriage Cere
mony.—George Francis Train, in a recent speech
in New York, said;
“Our modern marriage service should read
thus: Clergyman—Will you take this brown
stone front, this carriage and span, and these
diamonds for thy wedded husband? Yes.—
[Laughter.] Will you take this unpaid milliner’s
bill, this high waterfall ot foreign Imir, these af
fectations, accomplishments and feeble constitu
tion for thy wedded wile? [Loud laughter.]—
Yes. Then, what mammon lias joined together
let the next best man run away with, so tlmt the
first divorce court may tear them asunder.
Texas.—General Griffin has issued an order
forbidding ex-Confederates in Texus to sit on
juries. The Houston Telegraph, says;
The truth is, trial by jury in this State, either

St. Loal* Item*.

ing here to-day, and demanded equal rights in
the cars, public balls and tbe school fund.
Capt. D. C. Coleman, who was provost mar
shal here, has been sentenced to the penitentiary
by court martiul. He brings action against Gen.
Dodge, Becrctary Stanton, and others, for false
imprisonment.
Railroad Convention.
Cleveland, May 9.—There was a Railroad
Convention here to-day to consider tbo difficul
ties connected with the frieghtingbusiness. Near
ly all railroads in the country are represented.—
The sessions arc secret.
There was a collision on the Bellelontaine
and Indianapolis road, by which two engineers
and one fireman were killed, and two men in

Suicide of a Kentucky Senator.
Louisville, May 9.—Hon. Elijah Hise, just
elected to Congress from the Third District of
Kentucky, committed suicide, leaving a note
that tho stale of the country and advanced age
induced him to seek refuge in death.
The Castor Bean.—A Texus paper men
tions that a gentleman of that State bus plant
ed fifty acres iu castor beans and intends to
manufacture the oil for the market. This plant
grows no where so luxuriantly as in Southern
Georgia and Florida, a tact which addresses
itself to tho consideration of our planters, now
that the cultivation of cotton 1ms ceased to be
profitable.
Significant.—There is a general cry by the
laboring classes in all tho Northern and Western
cities for bread and employment. The Boston
Herald estimates that over two thousand men
have been thrown out of employment by the
closing of the bar-rooms iu that city, and at least
five hundred stores iu the city proper, and East
and South Boston, have a “to let” placed on the
shutters.
Hard Knot,—Among the curious things of
the Exposition is a bar of iron about as long
and as thick ns the pole of a carriage, tied in a
knot, os though it were a ribbou, without a ves
tige of crack or flaw, ond tbe visitor is assured
that it was tied when cold.
Impeachment Committee.—A private dis
patch from Washington says the Impeachment
Committee announce “that several important
witnesses have bean called." A regard for com
mon decency demands that this “ Committee ”
be dissolved uud allowed to leave Washington
Messrs. Johnson and McKutt, dry goods mer
chants, of Cincinnati, havo been arrested on a
charge of arson. A lew nights ago a fire was
discovered in their store on Pearl street, and
there was every indication ot an attempt at ar
son. Thoy had a policy for $12,000.
Kansas.—Thousands of cattle have died in
Kansas, during the past winter, from exposure
aud lack of proper lood. The mortality has
been especially severe in the Southern part of
the Stale. One company has lost twelve thou
sand in two or three weeks.
A 1 ERitiHi.E Blow.—A keg of powder ex
ploded near Fort Leo, New Jersey, Tuesday,
blowing a man named McCalley fifty feet into
the air, and “ landed ” him into the river. He
swam ashore, ami is still living.
Closing the Polls.—The Supreme Court of
Ohio has decided that the closing of the polls on
election day, for the purpose of going to dinner
or any other purpose, is a violation of law and
vitiates the election.
An Item.—All uioug the Truck of Shcrmau’e
army in South Carolina, women ami children,
black and white, are perishing for lood. While
this is so, Senator Wilson aud others ot his par
ty, visit the South. For what ? To aid in re
lieving this destitution and suffering ? No! But
to preach politics, and dwell upon the beauties
of radicalism. A stone for breud—a serpent for
a fish.
Sheridan and the Press.—A paragraph
appears iu some of the papers that the New
Orleans limes, Crescent and Picayune, it is re
ported, have recieved an admonition from Gen
eral Sheridan not to indulge in denunciation ol
the Reconstruction law.
The Street Cars.—Two Degrees in Rich
mond were so delighted at the idea of being ablo
to rido in the street cars that they carried their
breakfast and dinner with them uud remaiued in
one of the care until night Ono of them pro
posed that they should go after their beds.
An Affectionate Father.—At Sandyville,
Iowa, recently, a man who was annoyed by the
crying of his child, four or five months old, at
night, got up and deliberately strangled it to
death. He lias been arrested for the crime.
A Dutiful Son.—A dutiful son, named Dugan,
tho other day sued his father in a New York
court for the funeral expenses of his mother, aud
a verdict of $101 was rendered in his favor.
