ATLANTA, GEORGIA
Tuesday Morning, June SB. 1807.
To Register le it Patriotic Dull,
" Whoever,” says the Mobllo Register d Ad
vertiser, *• through (also pride, pique or criminal
imliflcrciuyt'fMls to register anil - qualify hlmsoll
tojaeirlvlirn the time arrives, will surely bitterly
re|>cnt his mistake and, 11 ho Is a true friend to
the State, have to reproach himself for tho non
performance o( a sacred duty.
" We regret to learn that some ol our young
men—true and spirited fellows who upheld tho
Southern causo through suffering and danger
while war flamed—now hcsltatoto do what they
call tho humiliation oi taking any part in politi
cal action mulor existing laws! Youug men!
the same sense of honor, tho snmo duty to and
love of country that had not to call you twice,
to tako up arms, now ndjuro you to mnko an
other sacrifice ol your pride and resentments for
that snmo country and people.
" If wo Of tho South, from whatever cause of
pride or indiflcrcncc, fail to exercise tho fraction
of voting power left to us under theso cruel laws,
and suffer the Stato Government to fall into tho
hands ol our llndtcal enemies, a lifetime of snek
cloth and ashes will not be able to atone to our
consciences lor tho irreparable injury we shall
have inflicted on this unfortunate State. Hap
pily, our enemies have not left us (although they
designed it) without hope and means of protec
tion. Tho actual disfranchisement under the
laws docs not extend to placing us in a minority
Our .safety and our destinies are in our own
hauds, if every man who is entitled registers his
name, and arms himself with a ballot to cast for
the public honor and public safety. But there
are none to spare, and every straggler and de
serter, every laggard in duty will bo needed—
perhaps fatally missed—when the roll of the
Slate's destiny is called."
Wo submit both to the old nnd young men of
the First Ward of this city, the loregoiug, and
trust that they wilt heed its admonitions during
the present week. Let them register to-day, it
they neglected to do so on yesterday 1 Let this
lie the first duty, tho present week, of all who
are not disfranchised, residing in the First Ward
lion. ltlr. Kelley al Home—Ilia I'erllou*
l'oalllon at ItloMle.
The Hon. Mb. Keu,ey, immediately upon
his return to Philadelphia fVom his Southern
tour, addressed his fcllow-citir.ens who lmd as
sembled to greet him in a speech, a copy of
which is now before us. The length of tho gen
tleman’s speech of itself forbids its insertion in
these columns, and, to be candid, our inclina
tions are not favorable to its re-production in
them. We, in fact, refer to the speech merely
fur the purpose of acknowledging its reception,
and to tender our congratulations to the speaker
himself at hi3 wonderful escape from tho perilous
position he occupied while addressing the citizens
of Mobile. Says Mr. Kelley, in his introductory
remarks to his fellow-citizens of Philadelphia:
“ I never knew how sacred that word home,
so felicitously uttered by Prierson, was, until
during my receut absence from you. When
cowering before more Hum a hundred bullets, or
white my body wus sheltered from them by those of
two negroes who periled their lices to sure mine, 1
realized how dear were home, kindred, and friends."
Truly, the position was a perilous one 1 One
hundred bullets directed at Mr. Kelley, and only
two negroes to cover his body, was enough to
make him cower, and think of home. The two
negroes, we presume, were riddled with the bul
lets, though the Mobile papers fail to report that
fact, as docs Mr. Kelley himself. Most heartily
do we congratulate tho honorable gentleman at
his escape without a wound, and trust, in view
of the peril that attended his attempt to address
the people of Mobile, he will never again leave
his " home, kindred, nnd friends,” for such an
other purpose 1.
II. II. Hill, orfiooriflu.
This gentlemen begins, in the Augusta Chroni-
eIs <6 Sentinel of the mb, a series oi loners on
the situation. He docs not in the first chapter
expressly state what he will advise, hut, the can
did reader will come to the conclusion that but
little weight should attach to the utterances of
any man who, in times like these, has to bring
up past political diflerenccs. That Mr. Hill does
so is easily to be seen by tho following extract:
We see some of our Southern counselors, who
urged us into secession as the only peaceful
method of securing our rights, who afterward
led us to subjugation as the only method of es
caping military despotism; now boasting ol the
great confidence heretofore reposed in their
counsel, udvisingus to accept the proposed terms
for a new Union'
What good Air. Hill or any one else .proposes
.... lessfonists in
by this everlasting twaddle about secessU.uia,. ■>,
the past, and their present position is beyond
our comprehension.
Wo clip the foregoing from tho Montgomery
Adcertiser. Like that journal, we do notsce what
possible good can result to the South by an ever
lasting twaddle about secessionists in tho past,
and their present position. Just about ns much,
we opine, as twaddle would be about the posi
tion of co-operationists before the war, and their
positions doting, and since the war. All these
have nothing to do with the issues now before
the Southern people, and should be avoided.
“Tlie Southern Opinion,”
This is the title of a new paper, published at
ltichmond, Virginia, by II. Hives Pollard,
Esq., editor and proprietor, the first number of
which is before us. It is proposed by this gen
tleman, well known in journalistic circles, to
make his “Southern Opinion" a “true exponent
ot Southern thought nnd sentiment”—“commit
ting it to the support of no particular set ol men
nor measures,” but "unreservedly to tho South,
in all her manifold interests, traditions, customs,
and affections.”
Biographies, narratives, descriptions, sketches,
incidents, and anecdotes, illustrative of the late
war, we notice, is to form one of the most promi
nent features of the “Southern Opinion,” and this
department of the new Richmond journal is to
be revised and edited by Padi, II. IIayne, Esq.,
of South Carolina, n gentlemun well known
throughout Ihe South.
The “Southern Opinion" is a large and hand
some weokly sheet, and is transmitted to sub
scribers at the rate of $1 per annum, or $2.50
per six months Success to it 1
Santa Anna an* Mexico.
That Santa Anna never abandoned his'Inten
tion to again rulo in Mexico, is patent to all In
diplomatic circles who lmvo kept an observing
oyo on tho movcinonta of that politlo and ambi
tious individual. With regard to his movoments
sinco the downfall of Maximilian, tho following
Is tho latest rcllnblo intelligence: ,
We learn, says tho Washington City Intelli
gencer of tho 21st Instant, "that our Government
yesterday received official dispatches from tho
United States Consul at Vera Cruz, and Com-
mnnderW. E. Leroy,oftho United Slates steamer
Tulhthoma, lying off that city, stating that on
tho 4th Instant Santa Anna arrived there in tho
steamer Virginia, and anchored off tho fort, the
officer in command bciug a Mend of his. That
Santa Anna boastiugly announced that lie came
hy tho doslro of both Juarez and Maximilian,
and supported by the United States, to take pos
session of the Mexican government. These facts
wore Immediately made known to the Aincricun
Consul nnd Commander Leroy, who, believing
tho stntcment to bo false, after consultation, it
was resolved to board the Virginia, and inform
Santa Anna that he and his suite must come on
board the Tullnhomn, which ho did, and spent
the night there, bciug comfortably provided for.
The next morning Commander Leroy re-con
ducted him to tho Virginia, together with his
suite, and conveyed tho Virgiuia twenty miles
seaward, nnd there left tho vessel nnd tho adven
turers, admonishing Santa Anna not to appear
again in the vicinity. There is no official into!
ligcnce of his capture.
The Crop.,
There is a good deal in the papers iu regard
to tho crops of 1867, but the accounts all agree
in the most important fenture—that the prospect
of an abundant yield was never more promising.
The New York Journal of Commerce has some
interesting statistics on the subject. Of hay tho
crop of 1800 was pul down in the census at a
little over nineteen million tons; that of 1866,
by the Agricultural Bureau at 21,778,626 tons;
valued at $317,501,837; but the yield of 1807 is
likely to bo over thirty million tons, a gain whose
importance can hardly be overestimated. The
wheat crop of the United States lor 1865 is given
by the Bureau at 151,998,006 bushels, valued at
$333,779,646. The yield this season is still sub
ject to more contingencies than the hay crop—
but tho testimony from all sections is moro uni
versally cheering and favorable to the lar
gest estimates than ever before in our experience.
The same is true of the corn crop. The yield of
Julian corn for tho last year was given at 87,-
946,295 bushels, valued at $591,665,295. For
this year the promise now exceeds twelve hun
dred million busfiels. Other grains, and the
most of the fruits, are equally promising. The
ffectof such a supply upon the finances of the
country will be almost magical, unless counter
balanced by the grossest mismauagemeut of na
tional affairs.
AararlanlMui.
Blustering Ben Wade, iu his Lawrence, Kan
sas, speech declared that property is not fairly
divided in other parts of the country besides the
South, “and a more equal distribution must be
wrought out.” Of course this was intended as
a justification of the Rump excursionists and
their friends, who, through Pacific Railroad
grants, secured to themselves hundreds of miles
of Government lands for nothing; but it may,
sometime, be used to justify the poor, who do
not own a foot of land, in distributing among
themselves Ben’s immense possessions—both in
the West and at the 8outh. So, too, of Butler
who lately advanced agrarian ideas. There is
such a big vein of thieving in human nature
that it is difficult to tell where agrarianism may
ud when once started. Tho masses, however,
cannot lose much by the operation, if made
universal, like the condition to which suffrage is
coming. Let the “grand moral idea” pundits
push on their theories.
Dishonesty in Rail Cars.—A New York
paper refers to a system ol appropriating other
paoplco, property, said to bo much Iu rogue In
that direction:
One of the meanest of all mean acts is the
pilfering of articles left by the traveler in a rail
car. It not untrequently happens that in his or
her bustle to leave a train, an umbrella, or pack
age of some kind is left behind, and yet, although
an immediate return to the cars for the article
may be made, nine times out of ten it has dis
appeared—never to be seen again by the rightful
owner. We have known packages removed
(stolen is the proper word,) almost under the nose
of the passengers, the parties stealing getting off
lerhaps at the next station, while the owner is
round farther on ; but most of the thefts occur
when the train arrives at its final destination and
all the passengers are leaving lor home. Now,
an article left in such a case should be sent as
early as possible by the person finding it to the
train depot, at either end of the route, where it
would be certain to be inquired for and secured.
But instead of this, moral honesty appears to be
at so low an ebb that umbrellas, bundles, and
demijohns of whisky thus left are sure to bo
stolen, and the owners often put to serious an
noyance and loss.
Walking off with an umbrella might be tole
rated iu a country where moral honesty is not at
a very high standard, but there is no punishment
too severe tor the wretch who would feloniously
appropriate a whole demijon of whisky—fourth
proof perhaps at that.

llOtl*.
It is stated that the Secretary of the Treasury
has decided that proof that a depository bank
having funds to Ihe credit of the United Stales
Treasury bud charged a discount for cashing
seven-thirty coupons, would be deemed sufficient
ground for discontinuing such bank ns a govern
ment depository. Depository banks lisd better
keep ou the lookout, and within proper bounds.
The Hecrelary of the Treasury keeps a strict
wutch upon them.
It is also staled that the appropriations made
hy Congress at its last session, for legislative, ex
ecutive, and judicial purpose*, foot up on the
books of the Treasury, $21,151,201 00.
Tatrlollr mid Pious.
" 1 wish," auid a ranting Wulieal of til's city, a
day or two ago, " ibat the r.ian who first advo
cat'd secession was roasting in hell, and I was
’there to see him."
To which patriotic and pious wish, reply was
made hy a considerate citizen ol “ Union" pro
clivities throughout the war and since.
" It, my dear sir, that secession man roasts
long enough, in the lull to which you would con
sign him, you need not (car but that you will lie
there to witness his roasting."
Thu patriotic and pious Jladieal thereupon
“ vamoosed the ranchc.”
Rkoisteh in Bankruptcy.—The Newuan

pointed Register in Bankruptcy for tho Third
Congiessloutd District.
Atlanta.—Mujor Kirby, the editor of the
American Union, Chattanooga, was in Atlanta a
day or two of the past week. In a special to his
paper, among other things we find the following:
The newspaper business is dull. Dr. Bard ot
the New Era, returned last night Irom a pilgrim
age to the East, bringing with him a piece of
the true cross ot political tailh, and having re
ceived a “revelation” that Grant ought to he the
next President. Accordingly ho nominated him
this morning in a double leaded editorial, and
proposes to tight it out on that line if it takes
iiim all summer.
I visited yesterday the rolling mill of John I).
Gray & Co., on Marietta street. Mr. Duncan
formerly ot the Southwestern Iron Works is here,
and has just been superintending the erection ol
some rolls, which will be pul iu operation to
morrow, for the manufacture ol rails. This es
tablishment employs about 250 hands and is
doing a very gooil business for the times.
Louisiana.—The total cost of registration in
Louisiana to the present time is $36,000. Tbe
President lias requested Gen. Sheridan, by
lelepraph, to extend tbe time for registration in
that Slate to the 1st of Angust, Gen. Sheridan
having proposed to close it on the 10th of July.
The total number of voters registered in the
Stale up to tbe 10th instant—the last dale re
ceived—was 09,111, of which 44,779 are colored,
aud 24,525 are white. This number largely
exceeds the vote polled iu that State at the
Presidential election iu I860.
Counterfeit.—The Macon Telegraph td Sun
day sajs: We were shown yesterday, by Presi
dent Plunl, of the First National Bank, a coun
terfeit $t bill United States currency, and ho in
forms us that laige numbers ol them, together
with twos, are iu circulation in this vicinity.—
They can be readily detected from their general
defectiveness, tbe engraving being of a most in
terior order, and tbe pa|ier thinner than in the
genuine bill.
Fire at the Nashville Penitentiary.—
A lire occurred at the Nashville Penitentiary on
Saturday night lust, which entirely destroyed
tbe west wing of the building, with tbe Agricul
tural and Cedar Ware Works. The military
was culled out to prevent the escape of the con
victs. Loss estimated at eighty thousand dollars.
General Bickelh.—Dan's anxiety for mar
tyrdom is explained. Some of the ltadicals are
talking of running him for the Presidency, Gen
eral Grant not beiug considered sufficiently sound
on confiscation and the land grab question.
Tiie laws outlie Inud should be os uuiforiu

In addition to the above, tho Mobllo paper
states that there Is a rumor that Mayor Horton

Several olhor resignations are spoken ot—all tin

Tho Tribune concludes a warning note to the

Stampede Anionic Penitentiary Convict*.
The Macon Telegraph ot the 23d contains tho
following particulars in regard to tho stampede
of the convicts at the penitentiary, of which
mention was made in our last paper:
Editors Telegraph :
Yesterday, about one o’clock, an escape was
attempted by sixteen of the convicts of the Peni
tentiary—two whites and fourteen blacks. These
men were engaged in tbe brick-yard, aud when
returning Irom their dinner and just outside tbe
main wall, made a simultaneous break. Two
were shot down, aud six others more or less seri
ously wounded—both the whites being of the
number. Two of the blacks have died, and two
others are in a doubtful condition. Only one (a
black) effected an escape.
I am informed that this ill-conceived effort lmd
been contemplated lor some time, but, possibly,
lor tbe unwillingness ol a few or the want of a
sufficiently large number to augment tho chances
to each one ol more probable success, it was de
layed until yesterday, when, as they all must
Imvc imagined, tbe propitious moment bad ar
rived. Fatal delusion, however; for the prompt
ness, vigilance, and coolness of the guard were
certainly up lo all emergencies, ns their telling
shots evinced. One of the whites was the first
to lend oil, theu an instantaneous Indiscriminate
helter-skelter stampede ensued—each one (or
himself, of course, aud running tbe main depen
dence ol all.
Au inquisition was held this morning upon tbo
bodies of the two blacks, and a verdict reciting
the particulars relating to them, and given above,
returned.
No doubt the plot originated with the white
men, and little or no regret would have been felt
had they fallen to rise no more. Central.
From the New York Trtbnno, 19th.
Greeley on n July Session nnd Confisca
tion. m
In passing the bill (the reconstruction bill of
the last Congress),they listened to moderate
counsels. We knmv what a struggle it cost to
induce moderation. The struggle will be greater
now. Mr. Stevens and his friends, who wero
defeated in the attempt to place the military
power under the control of Grant, will make a
bolder efiort. Wo shall have confiscation, per
haps, and land to the negro pressed by a small
minority. We do not think it will bo wise '.o
make new issues, and we counsel moderation
with justice, as we did during the last session.
We dread lo re-open this question, because with
it comes uncertainty and unrest, feverishness,
endless and angry discussions. We find a senti
ment in the West that has expression in a few
miserable, jobbing newspapers—a kind of The-
nardier feeling. A number ot office-beggars and
politicians, culling themselves the Grand Army
of the Republic, and meeting in out-of-the-way
places with grips and pass-words, arc passing
resolutions dsmnndlng confiscation and farms,
This is either knavery or madness. People who
want farms work lor them. Tbe only class we
In,..nr ll.nt takas other people’s property hooauoo
they want it, is largely represented at Sing-Sing.
The people of this country do not want Sing-
Sing and Mexican banditti principles introduced
into their statesmanship. We can never recon
struct America by the gallows and the deputy
sheriff, and we trust that tbe spirit of kindness
will prevail, especially because this contest is not
made by the Southern people,
Who are Radicals.—Tbe Greenville Union
thus describes tbo material out of which the
Rudicul party in East Tennessee is composed.—
It has its counterpart elsewhere :
“ This party is composed of the odds and euds
of such as could be induced to join them—of
men that went into the rebel army early, finding
tbe Confederacy about gone up, deserted aud
joined this ‘ loyal ’ party; men who went into
the rebel army, but being too cowardly to “show
their taith by their works,” procured details to
nurse sick and wounded rebels ; men that wrote
abusive articles for rebel newspapers—men that
engaged to find substitutes for the rebel service—
men who by making saltpetre, chopping wood,
and doing other things for the rebels, did more
injury to the Union cause than those in the rebel
nrmy. Men who removed behind the Union
army nnd speculated—cursing the Union forces
for not ‘ tnking the country,’ that they might
get to the homes they wero too cowardly to tight
tor. These are now very noisy fellows, such as
speak up and laugh at public meetings, speak
ings, etc. Men. who became ‘ disgusted ’ witli
‘ Andy Johnson ’ because they were not ap
pointed to places of trust—present offlcc-scckers,
broken-down politicians—with a great many
good men, who are led into it by their preju
dices.”
Bit dy a Snake.—The paragraph following
from the Fort Valley Gazette, nray help some
body :
Last week, as a negro was ploughing a piece
ot new ground belonging to Mr. Skellie, lie
was bit ou tbe foot by a rattle-snake. Ou going
to tbe bouse, and telling bis tale, a chicken was
killed, split open, and applied to the wound.—
While this was being doue, a bottle ot wbisky
was sent for. In a abort while, tbe chicken
turned green, and tbe feathers were ready to
drop off. It was then taken off, anil some red-
oak poultices were applied.
Tbe negro's foot was much swollen, when
last seen, fait be is now considered out of dan
ger.

Irom Queretaro to the 8th, Sail Luis, to the 11th,

reported that as soon os Marquez learned ol the
sale and delivery ol Lopez, he opened documents
left with him hy Maximilian. Amongst them ho
found one in which he abdicated in favor of
Iturbidc. Marquez, immediately proclaimed
Iturbidc Emperor uiulor tbe regency ol tho Em
press Carlotln.
He also arrested 30 of tbe most notable Libe
rals and imprisoned them as hostages lor tbe
lives of Maximilian nnd bis companions. There
is no authoritative denial of the Emperor’s pro
clamation published last week, aud it Is still be
lieved to he genuine. It is stated that Maxi
milian's counsel has been refused a request lor
30 days to prepare lor death, and that ho had
been sentenced. There are also rumors Hint he
has been executed, but nothing authoritative to
that effect.
Maximo Campo was not shot, as stated, but
was murdered while lying dnngerohsly wounded
in a hospital at Qncrctcro.
By last mail it is reported that .Marquez had
commenced shooting the hostages. He had shot
two, hut the names are not given. The death of
Metidez is confirmed. All foreign prisoners
were en route for Mouterey, numbering tour or
five thousand Austrians, Belgians, and French.

St. Petersburg, Juue 23.—The Czar Ims ar
rived here.
London, June 23.—Constantinople dispatches
announce that the Sublime Porte has acceded to
the proposition for a joint commission to investi
gate the Cretan grievances.
Pkstii, June 23.—The people of Crotia op
pose the union with Hungary.
Swindlers Comb to Grief.—The following
comes from Baltimore under date ol the 22d :
A so-named Southern Orphan’s Gift Enter
prise Relief Association, hy which large amounts
were raised suddenly, came to grief last night.
A quarrel arose among the managers about tho
funds which hud been collected and in the hands
ot J. L. Hammond, President ol the association,
and the grnndjury yesterday found presentments
against the firm of Palmer
A Co. tor violating
the laws of Maryland prohibiting lotteries. It is
stated that only 30,000 out 500,000 tickets bad
been sold, and most ol tbe valuable prizes an
nounced lmd been relieved from tbo scheme.
Division ok Property.—The New York
Ex-press trull dully remarks:
The division of property is the natural se
quence of all the suite, the Republicans have
been creatiug for six years past—wilti the repu
diation of tbe national debt lo come. Tbe cries
are to be
Negro anil Woman Sullrage.
The Division ol Property.
No more Taxation.
The Repudiation of the Nalionul Debt.
Rumor.—Madam Rumor says—and her reputa
tion for truth is unquestionable—that there is a sad
want ot harmony and brotherly love among tbe
Radicals in this fruitful portiou ol tbe vineyard,
growing out of the fact dial there ure loo iiraiiy
grent and aspiring men iu the party. Now, that
thing baa got to be stopped at once, or evil con
sequences will follow, just as sure ns guuboats
are made ol iron.
The July Session.—Some ol the papers are
exercised over the prospect ol a July session of
Congress. We don’t know why. The domi
nant party already shows unmistakable Bigns of
dissolution, and wheu Congress meets it will bo
certain to do some foolish aud wicked thing that
will hasten a consummation so devoutly to he
wished.
Frankfort, June 28.—Bonds 77}.

Afternoon Sermon.—The Danbury Times
does not believe that Sunday afternoon sermons
are “ conducive." Neither do wc. It says:
Afternoon service is not only unnecessary but
it is injurious. It is a harm to the preacher, and
a hack-ache to tho listeners. Overloaded stom
achs and overworked minds nnd frames are not
adapted to enter the spirit ol a church service.
Besides, some portions of the Sabbath should bo
devoted to what it was made for, rest; and our
people would appear to better advantage, ami
realize more comfort, by being at home, than in
church, swelling with the heat, or thinking be
tween the naps, of the smart things they may
have done through the week.
Middle Tennessee.—The Lincoln county
News says that the wheat crop of that county
will reach 250,000 bushels. In 1860, it wns
180,000.
The Columbia Jlerald states that large quanti
ties of wheat can be purchased iu that county at
one dollar and fifty cents per bushel.
The Lebanon Herald says tho wheat crop in
Wilson county is turning out well, and the farm
ers expect to realize from one dollar to one dol
lar and a half per bushel.

Q. M.
&
Commission Merchants,
Vallandioham and Wilson.-Hon. C. L.
Vallandighnm denies flatly the truth of some
statements Concerning him made by Sena!o r
Wilson, of Massachusetts, at Huntsville, Ala
bama. He says that he did not encourage the
war, and never said that the Northern troops
should march over his dead body. This is not
the first time Senator Wilson’s veracity has been
called in question, by a good many.
Houston Factory.—The Fort Valley l/uzftte
mnn has been to tbe Houston Factory, and says
of it:
F.verything is new, and of the latest improve
ments—consisting, in part, of near two thousand
spindles and about sixty looms, managed by
about fifty hands, making about throe thousand
yards of as good sheeting per day as can be
bought in any market.
Lookout Mountain.—’There is to be a grand
celebration at the Lookout Mountain House on
the Fourth of July. Great preparations are be-
ng made, and everybody and bis betler-lmlf
will be there. Lookout of ilsell is a historic
eminence worth visiting.
A Rhode Island mnnutacturer, named Coil
has built a new stable, and put down Brussels
carpets in the "apartments” of his hostler
therein. He is very much disgusted because
the late Congress did not give moro protection
to home industry.
Death of a Methodist Clergyman.—Rev.
Dr. L. L. Ledbetter, of tho Methodist Church, in
charge of tho Broad River circuit, in Wilkes
county, died in that place on Sabbath night, 9th
instnut, alter a brief illness.
Progressing.—The survey of the Savannah
and Memphis Railroad is progressing, and it is
thought will be completed by the middle of July.
The people along the line are said to bo much
elated, and freely give the right-of-way.
Gen. Sheridan.—Some of the Radical papers
assert that Little Phil, will not be removed. Of
course not; but ho will be made, perhaps, to
couflno himself to the legitimate lino of his duty
under the letter and spirit of the law.
