nerUtrallon Notice for tbo City of At*
laata.
Wo Invito the nttcnUon of our city readers to
tbo notice which appears in our advertising col
umns, from tho BoA.no op Registration ap
pointed for this city, under tho Reconstruction
acts of Congress, from which they will perceive,
that tho Books op Registration will bo opened
for tho First Ward of this city on Monday
next at tho City Hall, and contlnuo open for live
consecutivo days in order to enabio the residents
of that ward, qualified to do so, to register their
uames. Due notice will bo given for registration
in tho second and oilier city wauls.
By this notice for registration in this city, am
ple time is given tor every individual in the First
Ward, who is qualified to register, to do so—aud
so we are assured it will be m the other wards.
Nevertheless, let there bo no delay in registering
on the part of any one of our citizens who is not
disfranchised 1 Let all such in the First Ward
register on Mondny if they can ; if not, on Tues
day. “ Delay breeds danger,” and delay in this
matter mny deprive one of the privilege of suf
f'rage.
The Drift of Thing*.
Under tho foregoing heading, that most excel
lent journal, tho New York Express, taking it
for granted that the Radicals have resolved on a
July session of Congress—that Thad. Stevens
has said so, and that what Thaddeus says is law
—predicts and forewarns as follows:
"It may as well bo taken for granted that the
Radicals have resolved on their July session.—
Thad. Stevens says it ought to be held, and what
Thaddeus says now, is law. He is dictator. He
is supreme. We are not sure but that he has got
t into his head that he, and not Andrew John
son is President of the United States. And per
haps he is right.
“The first thing to be done on the assembling
of these political incendiaries will be to curtail
the little power now exercised by the Executive
so as to make him even more of a cipher than
fie is already, in the administration of the gov
ernment. Tho abominable Five Monarchy Bill
will be so amended as to make the Pachas and
Bashaws in tho Southern States responsible to
nobody but the Rump. Then Sheridan can re
move as many Governors as lie chooses; then
Sickles can compel his subjects to bow to his
“Gcsler Cap" as often as the fit may be upon him;
then Swayne aud Pope, and the rest of them
may place as many negroes in offices as their
tastes and instincts may prompt. The tyranny
then will be perfect, and throughout the whole
South the last glimmering of civil liberty will be
etfectually extinguished.
“But what then, aud what next? Will the
Rump stop at simply adding another link to
these fetters for white men’s limbs ? Scarcely.—
The impeachment conspiracy can be made a
success, depend upon it, it will he pushed, aud,
at present, the signs certainly are that it will be
pushed. For our own part, we are prepared now
for almost anything. Having stripped the Presi
dent of all power, if he should next be turned
out of office, the Radical policy would simply
be reaching its logical result.
“By virtue of this usurpation of the Executive
power, Ben. Wade then would be President. Do
the Bondholders, Capitalists, Merchants, and men
of property, realize what that means ? Do they
know who Ben. Wade is?
"If not, it is high time they went to work to
study his character, and acquaint themselves
with his sentiments, for a more dangerous mau,
to whom to entrust power in a great govern
ment, we do not believe has existed since the
days of the old French Revolution.
"The Kansas agrarian speech to which he
gave utterance tho other day, is a key to his
whole character. He is a Radical among Radi
cals. He is a confiscator, exterminator, and
by nature, a revolutionist. If he had lived in
France towards the close of the last century,
he would have been a fit companion of the
Jacobin Triumvatc that established a Reign
of Terror and drenched the nation in blood.—
His notions as to a “division of property"
would have been hailed with shouts of appro
bation in the Cordelier clubs, and the dema
gogues of ‘the mountain,’ would have carried
him in triumph on their shoulders for it.
"It is for the sober-thinking portion of the
American people, to look straight in the face,
the contingency of having this man thus revo
lutionised into the Executive chair, after Andrew
Johnson is rcrdlutioniietl out of it. It is for
them to think, how the public credit is to be
benefitted by it, and how far the work of re
storing domestic tranquility promises to be
promoted by it. There must be something
more than thinking, however, at such a crisis.
There must he action. If the Rump Congress
is really to assemble next month, to carry out
the schemes of the conspirators, let the people
meet too, in conventions, and in great public
meetings, in town and country, to proclaim,
in the imperative mood, what their will is, aud
to impress upon these pestilent demagogues,
the long forgotten fact, that they are the ser
vants, and not what they are aiming to be,
the masters of the people.”
Cholera.—The New York World says: Borne
foolish fellow in the evening papers is predicting
that New York will be visited by the cholera
this summer. Of course it will. We have had
a case or so already. But there is notlhe slight
est reason for believing that it will become epi
demic. The city was never so healthy, as will
be Been by referring to the Health report given
elsewhere. There are no epidemic diseases re
ported, and deaths from derangement of the
bowels arc unusually infrequent. People who
keep clean, eat moderately, and pay their debts
need be in no fear of cholera. That last, “ pay
their debts," is a saving clause. There ere but
few people, however, in this neck of the woods
able to avail themselves of it.
Campbell County.—A friend writes the
Intelligencer from Campbell county that the
wheaperop is harvested, and is the best raised
in that section for several years. It is selling al
two dollars per bushel. Corn, the writer says,
is very promising, and bills luir for a heavy crop.
The cotton crop is larger than it was Inst year,
and looks better. In fact, everything looks
promising lor a bountiful yield, und there is little
doubt thnt ample supplies will bo secured for
next year’s consumption. Similar information
reaches us daily from other portions of the
State.
New Wheat.—The Griffin lleruhl reports the
price of new wheat iu that town at $3 per bushel;
aud the Talbulton Gazette understands that par-
lies iu the West have offered to deliver wheat
along Ihc line of the Muscogee Railroad at $1 43
P*-r bushel, ft says that it is estimated the wheat
crop of Talbot county will rcucli 200,000 bushels,
which will leuve a surplus of 50,000 bushels
over the amount annually consumed.
Registration.—The highest and most Im
portant duty ever devolved upon our pcoplo is
to register. All who nre entitled should not
hesitate u inorueut. It is a duty thnt cannot
be neglected or shirked without harm and dis
honor. The work will commence in this city
on Monday. Remember, and rally round the
ttug, boys!
Physicians’ Fees.—In the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia a few days ago, Judge
Wylie decided that the combination of physicians
to increase and regulate their fees was au illegal
one. In accordance with the decision, he re
duced a physician’s hill to the rates chaged be- j
fore the combination was formed, or about one- I
half. I
Atlanta Medical and Surgical Journal.
Tho Juno number of tills periodical of medi
cal Htcraturo Is before us. As usual, it presents
an Intcrcstliig tnblo of contents. It opens with
itn address by Dr. R. C. Word, of lids city, be
fore the Medical Association of the Slate of Geor
gia, on the obligations ol the public to the medi
cal profession.
As this paper sets forth the mutual relation be
tween tho public and the profession, wo propose
a briof extract of its contents for tho benefit of
our renders. It assumes want of duo apprecia
tion of the public of tho peculiar difficulties un
der which tho profession has labored sinco tho
closo of tho war, which, if uot remedied, may re
sult in serious detriment to tho cause ol medical
science. In former times, tho obligations be-
tweon tho two wero reciprocal, each being im
pressed with duo regard ior tho other; whilst
now, on the part of the public, there seems to
have sprung up a disregard of the mutual rela
tion, although the profession is still amenable to
the letter and spirit of the compact. Despite theso
chauged relations, however, the true men of (lie
profession are no less resolved than ever to abide
the established ethics ol their code, and to pre
servo that benevolent spirit ever characteristic of
their class. On the other hand, in the midst ol
the more active duties of life, the public has, in a
measure, ceased to observe principles of vital im
portance to its weal.
The advantages to mankind in the advance
ment of the science and the application of its
discoveries to the sufferings of humanity, attest
the iuestimablo value to the public of the profes
sion. In view' of these, the obligation between
the two should be strengthened—the true men of
tho profession sustained, as the safest rcliaucc
the people, and the safeguard of life and happi
ness in emergency. The importance of the
educated and intelligent physician to the com
munity is very groat, aud, in view ot the respon
sihilities attaching to his calling, pretenders and
quacks should be observed with the closest scruti
ny. Not only the prevalence of quackery, lint the
want of promptness on the part of the public in
discharging its pecuniary obligations to flic pro
fession, is forcing many of its worthy members
to abandon it for some moro certain means of
support. The dignity of the profession, accord
ing to the law of custom, debars the physician
use of the ordinary means in tho collection of
his fees, or otherwise involves the loss of self-
respect. Willi the credit system abolished, in
is forced to cash payments in his purchases ol
necessary supplies, without a corresponding re
spouse on the part of his patrons. Subjected to
this custom of cash payment in all his purchases,
lie dare not say to his customer, “ The money in
advance, or I canuot render the service.” This
distinction between the medical and oilier pro
fessions, can but result in the starvation of its
members. The community lays claim to him us
a public benefactor, and yet, it does uot appre
ciate the amount of gratuitous labor performed
by him. In this country, unlike most others,
much medical aid is required by the poor, and
yet no legislative provision is made for compen
sation. The memorials ol the Association in
this Slate, upon this subject, have not been
heeded by the legislative custodians of the pub
lic weal. Should he refuse to respond to the
call of humanity, public seutimeut at once brings
him into disrepute, placing him under the odium
oi the community. Like the Good Samaritan,
he is ever ready to relieve distress, under what
ever form it may present itself. In the midst of
the raging epidemic, when others, panic-stricken,
desert the dying and the dead, public sentiment
demands that he shall remain at iiis post, and
by iiis skill and energy stay the progress of the
malady.
Tho points set forth iu the address may be
briefly resumed us follows: The mutual obliga
tions between the profession and ttie public;
waet of proper appreciation of this relation by
the public; the difficulties to which the former
are subjected by the credit system; and the
want of recognition of their services, ns public
benefactors, by tho Legislature and tin- mass of
the people.
{.rOR THE INTBI.I.hiE.NIKH j
The Ulncklicrry : It* (J.chuiuI Importance,
The vintage of this valuable fruit is near. Pa
triotism and humanity, therefore, in advance,
come forward witli their reminder, and put in
their plea in its behalf. The first note of warn
ing they give, is, that the crop this year is unu
sually large. The necessities of our population
are great, and preparations should he made for
securing the greatest possible benefits from it.
Already in imagination, we see the millions
going fortli to the vintage, of both sexes, and
all sizes. Vessels in hand, they trip along the
paths, follow 'lie fence-rows, pervade the waste
lands, and cover the fields, feasting on flic lus
cious gatherings, filling their vases, and bearing
home their rich treasures. But home—wliat
scenes are then and there exhibited 1 The sugar
and cieam, the saucers and puns, the dumplings
and pics, the jelly and jam, the kegs and the
demijons of wine! In view of scenes like those
eacli day, for two months, repeated, who can for
bear exclaiming, as did “ Uncle Sykes“ M'hul
would the world he without blackberries!"
But, seriously, there is no other fruit that so
much demands, at this low-tide condition ot our
citizens, tho attention of all classes of our popu
lation. It grows everywhere, flourishes without
care, sutlers from no disaster, yields in profusion,
is nt once a luxury, and a substantial ol life, a
source of health and enjoyment, makes the cheap
est and best wine that can be produced.
What wo suggest, then, is that it not only all
be gathered this year, but ttiat the briers pro
ducing the best specimens he marked; and,next
year, they bo eared for and increased by trans
planting, aud so from year to year. Also, that
tho best modes of “wine making" he ascer
tained, and that all proper efforts be made for its
production of superior qualities. Thousands of
hogsheads might he annually manufactured. In
this way large sums of our greatly needed capi
tal would be kept for use at home, instead of be
ing sent abroad.
An impenetrable hedge might he made ol this
fruit-bearing brier. Thus while it bore largely
itself, it would protect the other products of the
garden, field and orchard. It is also au admiia-
ble protector and restorer of worn and waste
lands. The brier grows where nothing else will.
It shades the surface; its roots prevent washing
away; frosts make the ground mellow; the dose
set briers prevent their being trodden; the leaves
are thrown down anil kept there; and finis do
waste lands become abundantly productive.
Plant, then, and preserve the brier. It will am
ply repay all the attention bestowed upon it
Monitor.
Registration.—Have you registered ? If
not why don’t you register at once ? Have
you no interest in the condition ol our laws?
Do you not care whether they are honestly anil
energetically, or scandalously and inefficiently
administered ? Have you no rights to be pro
tected or abated ? Is your citizenship worth
nothing to you ? Have you no regard for the
welfare ot your neighbors, your city or your
Slate ? It you want the conduct of affairs to
he controlled by those who care very little for
these things, your liest course will be to shirk
your plain duty and keep nway from the regis
trar's office.—N. 0. Crescent.
Arrested.—We learn that Col. Jack Brown
was brought to this city yesterday, by Uuiteii
Slates soldiers, under arrest fur the assault on
Collector Jaques, heretofore reported. We trust
that the offense was committed in a moment of
excitement, without malice, and that Col. Brown
will soon he released.
I 1 . S.—Wo learn that Col. Brown was arrested
on a warrant returnable to a civil court, nnd that
lie was yesterday sent lo Savannah.—Columbus
Enquirer.
Rain Below.—The Albany New*, ol Thurs
day, says: “ We have beeu having very copious
ruins for two or three days past. U is hard on
cotton, but it lias made many a bushel of corn."

Southwestern Georgia.
HniTiiniiw 11 uwmmmumm
Kelley at Mobile-*'Thai Nntigiiluary
Scone.’’
As a matter of duwb, and to show tho ofloct
the scare had upon tho poor man, wo copy tho
following extrnct from Bill Kelley’s Philadelphia
speech, made upon his return to tho bosom of
his constituents. It Is said that when he spoko
ol “ that sanguinary scene," where tho bullets
were falling nround “ thick and fast as autumnal
leaves in brooks of Vallambrosa," tears ns largo
as horse apples could be noticed coursing each
other down tho cheeks of his affected and sym
pathising hearers. When tho reader shall lmvo
perused lids extract, lie will conic to the conclu
sion at once, as wo did, that Mr. Kelley is a
whole-sized brick, in addition to the one ho gen
erally totes in Iiis hat:
1 left you at tho invitation of the Governor ot
Louisiana nnd the Mayor of New Orleans, to
visit that distant Suite and city, hoping that 1
might serve our distracted country, and eager to
view that nearly one-half of our cis-Mississlppi
territory, from which, by reason of my love
ot personal liberty, I hail so long been ex
cluded. I did not dream of danger. Others
spoke of it, but 1 scoficd at the idea. 1 went,
hearing no hatred to any man; hut believing
that ttie truths which for tho last eleven years 1
lmvo been in the habit of proclaiming lo you,
would he especially useful to the peoplo of that
/ection, 1 gladly availed myself of the opportu
nity ol littering them kindly and courteously in
their midst; nnd, my friends, throughout my ex
tended excursion, 1 was received with nil the
kindness and courtesy the pcoplo were able to
bestow upon me wherever I went, save in one
city. I, therefore, beg veil not to charge the
murderous spirit of the Mobile mob to the South
ern people at large. [Applause.] That outrage
was due more largely to Andrew Johnson, the
refractory President of the United States, than
even to the municipal authorities of Mobile, or
l lie mob they should have held iu subjection.—
The chief promoter ot that murderous riot was
a recrcnut Northerner, who bail been sent to that
city hv the President ns Assessor of Internal
Revenue, Colonel Mann, formerly ol Michigan,
who owns the Mobile Dines. That paper had, in
advance of my arrival, excited the passions ot the
Southern people against me, and in an article oil
the day preceding my arrival, every allegation,
in which Colonel Maun admitted in the presence
of two gentlemen now present to lie wholly false
and unloundeil, had inllatned the passions of the
Irish citizens ot Mobile against me. But not lo
detain you with the details of tlint sanguinary
scene, let me say that tho outbreak was provoked
by no indiscreet word ot mine. It had been
planned before I went to the meeting, it uot be
fore I arrived in Mobile, and the man immedi
ately behind me would have been shot through
Lhii head, as he was, aud another not live feet
lrom me would lmvo been murdered, ns lie was,
at tho pie-concerted signal, had 1 been reading
the Litany or the Lord’s Prayer. I am told that
it lias been sneeringly said that I got under a ta
ble. I have never been a soldier or sought repu
tation at the cannon’s mouth, and very freely ad
mit Unit, when the bullets were whizzing by ami
pattering agaiust the wall behind me, 1 would
have thanked almighty God for a bullet-proof
table under which to creep.
We might add to these interesting excerpts,
hut the foregoing will serve to show the great
gap between Mr. Kelley and the real facts of the
ease. Without intending to ho in the least de
gree offensive, we think we see the honorable
gentleman as lie rose from beneath the mahoga
ny and started lrom “that sanguinary scene” at
a 2:40 pace,Ids eye in a tine phrenzy rolling, and
exclaiming;
Aa fur mid near the ballets hiss,
I’ll seek a safer place than this.
National Haulm.
Having copied a paragraph or two from some
of our Western and Northern exchanges iu re
ference to National Banks, it is proper we should
reproduce the following in our columus. It is
taken from the New York Times ot the I9tli:
NORTHWESTERN NATIONAL RANKS.
A concerted effort is being rnnde in certain
quarters to break down the credit and standing
of many of the National Banks in tho North
west, and in this effort the most atrocious false
hoods are employed, and an endeavor made to
inculpate the United States Treasurer anil the
Comptroller ot the Currency as derelict of duly.
Tho New York Herald has published a series ot
letters from tlie West in which it has been fre
quently asserted that large numbers of tho depo
sitory hanks there hold Government funds large
ly in excess ol the amount ot security on deposit.
The fact is, that there is not a depository bank
in l lie country Hint has now or lias had for many
months as much Government money as it lias
security on deposit; that there are absolutely
only two hanks in the country that linvu half us
much ; that all the rest have less than hall; that
tin: hanks all over the country complain that the
Treasurer keeps them drawn down so close, nnd
that a despository bank with a security ol one
million of dollars with the Treasurer is undoubt
edly a better place lor half that amount of Gov
ernment money than an Assistant Treasurer,
with individual bail bonds of hut titty thousand.
The Government lost nothing by the failure of
the First National Bank of New Orleans, but it
is likely to lose largely by the defalcation ot its
own officer.
Executive A el Ion Under the Opinion ol
tlie Attorney-Hcncriil.
Ttie National Intelligencer of Monday makes
the following important and semi-official an
nouncement :
We have satisfactory authority for saying that
there is no foundation for the industrious repre
sentations multiplied nil over the country to the
ctl'eet that because the President has been offi
cially advised, and having with Iiis Cabinet ap
proved the advice, of the invalidity of tho remo
vals and appointments of civil officers by Hie
usurping commandants nt the South, liu is, there
fore, about to rush precipitately to u complete
nullification ot nil that lias been done by these
Generals, wit hout discrimination and irrespective
of expediency. These statements are altogether
groundless, and calculated to excite and inflame
in advance tlie disapprobation of all who think
they realize Hint some progress, however littlo,
has been mnde toward a restoration ol the South,
and who would regret lo see this progressive
movement thrust hack to its starting point.
Even in such flagrant examples of usurpation ns
those of Sheridan in the eases of the Governor
and judges nt New Orleans, now Hint the wrong
is to he redressed, not avenged, the question is
viewed ns one of rational expediency, to be gov
erned by the circumstances, as they are now, and
not as llioy were when the outrage Was commit
ted. We learn Hint investigations are to be
made, reports are to lie had, and tlie whole mat
ter deliberated upon as a practical question iu
every one ot these cases of infraction ol tlie laws
ot Congress and the principles of the Constitu
tion. In a word, the President will net efficient
ly, hut lie will net rcmedially, not vindictively.
Important Case.—We nre indebted to the
Augusta Constitutionalist for Hie information
contained below :
Charles W. W. Bruen, Executor, Ac., rs. the
Southern Express Company, lor tlie recovery ol
Hie value ol a negro woman, who escaped while
in charge of the defendant, in the month of July,
18111. II W. Hilliard, for plaintiff; Hook &
Carr for defendants.
Tlds case cume into court Wednesday ntorn-
ing, before Judge Gibson, and is noticeable from
the fuet that one of tlie pleas made iu defense
was, that in July, 1804, tlie negro was no longer
property, by reason ot the operation of the pro
clamation of emancipation by President Lincoln,
which look effect January 1st, 18(13. It was
ably argued by deleudaul’s attorney, Judge
Hook, that tlie court and the jury having taken
Hie amnesty oath, wherein they solemnly swear
lo “ abide by and faithfully support ” that pro
clamation, they were Iwnind to tint! for the de
fendants.
Tlie court ruled, aud so charged the jury, that
the proclamation did not take effect iu this State
until alter the emancipation declared by the
Georgia Convention in November, 1805.
The case then went to tlie jury upon the evi
dence of tacts, independent of this plea, and the
jury failing to agree unoii a verdict, were dis
charged and a mis-trini entered.
Maximilian.—The Piiiladelpnia Age says ol
the ex-Emperor of Mexico :
He did not how to reverses. He saw Ids
craven followers desert; he knew his cause
was lost ; he beheld Iiis foreign soldiers depart,
nnd was offered personal security by following
their steps ; hut he spurned ignoble retreat ; he
determined at all sacrifice, nil risk, to stand by
those who had stood by him, resolved, it their
blood was demanded, to mingle iiis own xvith
theirs, and when sordid treachery rendered all
further straggle useless, he uttered no desire lo
separate Ids late lrom the humblest of his as
sociates, but claimed the privilege of being the
first to atiHwer^Ihe vengeance ol his conquerors.
There is a manly bravery iu such conduct which
commands sympathy amt res|ieet, independent
ot all oilier considerations, while the fallen Em-
tierur’s indignant auit bitter reproof will sink
lasting remorse into the heart of the designing
monarch who promised und deceived, aud tie
waul whom the world will poiut its finger of
Morn.
