She I*.
Wlii'e n great, ft tnouruftil change lifts come
o’er this good old commonwealth, when w<h:om-
pare her present with her past, still her financial
condition, nratd nil tho surroundings that have
swept nvvay tlio former prosperity oi her people,
ought to be a sourco of congmtulntiou to them.
Tho bare tact, ns recently reported by her State
Treasurer, Colonel John Jones, in an otllcial
document addressed to Governor Jenkins,
that tho assets of tho Stato exceed all her liabili
ties—eiWusiw of taxation—in the sum of $5,751,-
905, is evidence of tho economy and Bkill that
have marked the conduct of her public aflairs, as
well as of tho vastness of her resources.. Most
heartily do we congratulate her almost Tuinod
people upon the prosperous condition ol the
State. In a financial sense, she still presents
claims to rank as the “Empire State of the.
South,” while she still also embraces within her
bounds much of that energy ami enterprise
which in days past checkered her with railways;
stimulated commercial and agricultural enter
prises, and gave every impetus it could to every
industrial pursuit. Even now, palsy stricken as
it were, her people need hut the recognition oi
their political rights and the rights of tire State
iu the Union as of old, and as provided for in the
Constitution, to speedily recover all that has
been lost. When will this be conceded them V
Alast echo answers, wukn? There are no
"signs of the times’’ foreshadowing that future-
no light in the horizon of coming events indica
ting the hoped-for event! All is doubt, and
gloom, and darkness. IV c have come almost to
tho timo, when in a political sense—
“Methlnka wo stand on ruin ; nature Shakes
About ns; ami the universal frame's
So loose, that it but wauls another push,
To leap from oft its hinges.”
Still the State shall stand in its w ise conduct,
and under the direction of her own sons, finan
cially sound, else all ts lost.
Hold Talk.
Col. Fiiank Wolvobd who was ono of the
bravest and most active among the Federal Cav
alry leaders in Kentucky during the late war,
has come out very decidedly for the Democrats,
anil in a late speech,at Jamestown,iu tlmt State,
is reported to have used tho following language:
“ I ever was and am a Union nutn, and desire
to see every State in our Government represent
ed by a star upon the American flag. Those
wht> are opposed to this are ilisuuionists and
rebel3 in the true sense of those terms. If the
Kadienl candidate, Barnes, should bo elected
fairly, I say, let him take his seat; and if Ilclm
should be elected, anil any power attempts to
resist bis inauguration, as soon as the electric
fires flash the news through the country, a mil
lion of American citizens will rise and assert
their power and rights, and I will buckle on my
sword, march to the conflict without counting
the cost, and proclaim to the world that' Ameri
cans will be freemen and not slaves.' ”
Tills is bold talk ou the part of one who fought
tor the " Union ’’ during the war. The address
was received witli great cheering by the large
audience in attendance upon its delivery, anil,
says the correspondent of the Louisville Courier t
from which wo mnko tlio foregoing extract,
"told loo plainly to the few Radicals present,
that their cause is almost demolished here and
that Kentuckians were getting in high earnest’’
—adding that "if the election was put ofl a few
weeks longer, Radicalism, even in the mountain
counties, would sink into perfect insignificance.”

The Veto.—The New York Eeening Pott
opposes tho President’s veto and defends Con
gress, saying, however, that “ It is not the South
ern people who sutler by the present system, but
those of the North. * * * That is the truth
of the matter; the present policy is not so un
happy for the Southern States, but it it dangerous
to tht country at large; and tho longer it contin
ues the more dangerous and mischievous must
lie its results. This is plain to most thoughtful
men; it is not denied by any except the most
bitter extremists.”
The Express thinks tliat no country but one
tresli from the horrors and trials of a frightful
civil war could or would tolerate the despotism
of Congress. Tho men of the South submit to
it because they arc broken in spirit, broken in
fortune, and every way defeated. Men in the
North tolerate it because they are blind, besotted
and cowardly, anil Massachusetts leads the as
sault.
An Important Fact.—A writer in the Mil-
ledgevilie Jiecordtr signing himself "Wm. Mc
Kinley,” says the Bankrupt law provides that no
debtor desiring a discharge from the burden ol
his debts, can get such discharge after June 1st,
1868, unless his property is sufficient to pay half
his debts. If debtors fail to apply for the benefit
of the act during the first year and yet arc not
able to pay ball their debts, there is no certain
relief for him; but they will have to live under
the burden of their debts forever, or until a ma
jority of their creditors assent in writing to their
discharge. Debtors who apply lor discharge
during the first year, from June 1st, 1807, to
Juno 1st, 1808, can be discharged, no matter
how little they pay. Time is precious to those
much in debt.
Phettv Good.—In our progressive, go-ahead
city, there is a project on foot to erect a mono
ment to “ Father Abraham.” A few days since
an agent, appointed to get up subscriptions, ap
proached ono of our fellow citizens, known and
distinguished for his uncompromising Unionism
before and during the war, and solicited him to
subscribe. The prompt reply was: “ I liavo al
ready subscribed filly-three likely negroes to
your monument." Whereupon the patriotic and
sell-sacrificing agent made an abrupt departure
with a large-sized flea in his car and looking as
though lie had heard something drap.
General Lee.—The statement in the Radical
papers that General Robert E. Lee lias declared
in favor of accepting tire various and sundry re
construction bills is without the least foundation
in fact. General Lee won’t even read a news
paper—especially a Radical aoosz-paper—and
has religiously abstained from uttering any opin
ion on tlie subject mentioned. The present Rad
ical party, however, wa3 couccived in sin and
brought forth in iniquity, and it subsists and
flourishes best ou falsehood and inisrcprcsciiAtion.
Savannah.—The Newt ifc lkrald of Wednes
day says: It will bo secu Iroui the official report
of the Board of Health, published in our issue
of this evening, tliat the deaths in the city du
ring the week ending ou tlio 22tl instant were
seven less than during tho preceding week
This aflords gratifying evidence that the citizens
of Savannah aro still in the enjoyment of their
usual health, notwithstanding tlio high figure at
which the thermometer has ranged during the
last thirty days.
A Desperate Man.—We noticed in one of
our Georgia exchanges yesterday an editorial
one column and a hall in length. We have no
doubt it was au admirably conceived and hap
pily digested article, but we couldn’t undertake
to read it, with Die thermometer at 02 in Hie
shade.
A Goon Man at Rest.—Mr. Jolm K. McMur-
phy, the Master Mechanic of the Georgia Rail
road car shops, died at his residence in Augusta,
on Tuesday. a >
Mexico.—It is authoritatively announced tliut
there has cpt bee a a revolution in Mexico for six
days.
Gerrlt Smith on the Duty of tho North to
the Sonth,
iron. Thaddeus Piece ns:
' Dear Sui—You aro reported in tho Now York
Tribunt ns having recently said on tlio floor of
Congress:
" It is now held by ono of the most liberal and
enlightened gentlemen in the country (I moan
Gerrlt Smith J that we should even pay abortion
Qt tho damage inflicted on tho rebels, and pay a
portion of tho rebel debt,"
Qf course, you do not mean that this is liter-
a ly so. „ My oltcn repeated proposition is that
Government lend or glvo moneys to tho South to
help her to an upward start from tho depths of
her poverty and desolation. By what logic you
were aide to construct Horn tho letter ol this
proposition your figure of speech is for you, not
for me, to explain. I am truly sorry tliat it is in
your heart to hold up to ridicuio my reasonable
proposition. You are too old and too intellectual
11 be making such concessions to passion and
prejudice. There are two reasons why tho
North should bo glad to liolp the South. First,
the South is poor—very poor, and tlio North is
rich—very rich. Second, the Nortli is largely
risponsible for tlio poverty of tlio South.
Our fathers united with tlio fathers ol the
South in making this a land o( staves; and in
i ur own day tho Nortli has gouo with tl>e South
in upholplng and oxtendiug slavery. Until the
breaking out of this war, every Congress was
for slavery. Tlio repeal ot the Missouri com
promise was the work of tlio North as well as
of the South. So, too, was the enactment ot tliat
infernal fugitive slave act, which even the good
Abraham Lincoln was compelled, by the pro-
slavery sentiment ot the North as well ns ot tlio
South, to cntorceao rigorously. With compara
tively lew exceptions, oar Northern colleges,
theological seminaries, and political and reli
gious parties, were on the side of slavery. The
commerce ol tlio Nortli was emphatically in the
interest ot slavery.
In the light of such facts, it surely camiot bo
denied Hint the Nortli made herselt largely re
sponsible for American slavery. But the war
came of slavery; and the poverty and desola
tion of the South came of the war; and hence,
to the same degree that tho North was responsi
ble for slavery is she responsible for tlio war and
for Us ruinous results to the South.
You call my sympathy with the South, and
my desire to have tho Nortli help her, "sickly
iuimnnity.” I call it simplo honesty. If my
neighbor anil 1 join in getting each other drunk,
and he in his frenzy goes to tearing down my
house, and I in self-uefcnsc demolish his, I am
not to disown his claim upon my sympathy. 1
am to feel that houesty requires me to help him
rebuild.
Would to God that Congress were so just and
wise as, at this very session, to lend titty millions
of dollars to the Confederate States—to each of
them so much of it as would be proportionate
to her population and to what she has suffered
from tlio ravages of the war! The share falling
to each Suite to be distributed throughout her
territory in louus upon adequate security. This,
by proving tho love and pity ot the Nortli lor
tier, would win the heart ot the South, and would
thus produce a true and lasting peace between
them. And then it would be worth to the nation,
if only in a financial point o! view, many times
titty millions of dollars. Gold would no longer
bear among us a premium of 40 per cent., and
our Government would no longer have to pay 7
per cent., nor much more than half 7 per cent.,
iuterest on its loans. Very respectfully, yours,
Gekrit Smith.
I’cterboro’, July 15, 1807.
The New Rebellion.
Tho Washington National Republican* believes
that the “ New Rebellion” and “Maximilian’s
Avengers" are not mere myths, or creations of
the New York Herald. It says;
We do not doubt, from what wc have learned
from reliable sources, that such a movement ns
another rebellion is talked of in certain quarters,
aye, seriously contemplated. These people re
gard it as a fortunate circumstance that they can
organize their nefarious designs under the pre
text that they arc going to Mexico to avenge the
dcatli of Maximilian. This is a sham. They
care nothing for the Archduke. Seeing them
selves cut ofl' from all participation in the gov
ernment they labored four years to destroy,
their object is not vengeance on Juarez and the
Mexicans, but vengeance against parties nearer
home. Tliat they feci a sympathy witli Maxi
milian and iiis friends is no doubt true, because
they are in sy mpatliy with imperialism ns against
republicanism the world over. They will go to
strength to carry out their main <leHi]pi"~w!i!(TI
design is the overthrow of our government and
the establishment of a Southern oligarchy, in
which they shall rule. We declared, therefore,
Hint the Herald's Washington correspondent lias
not spoken a moment too soon, and his commu
nication, instead ot being sensational, is sustain
ed by authoritative facts iu nil of its main parti
culars. Tlio adlierents of our government, the
It vers of tree principles, and the believers in re-
p iblican institutions cannot be too vigilant.—
“Forewarned is forearmed.”
We have no idea that there is tho least foun
dation for the above. But such stud is absolutely
eisential to the political existence of the poor
miserables who are now engaged in the patriotic
work of destroying the government and ruining
the country.
Reconstruction.—in the following the New
York Tribune, docs but simple justice to the
s it it and temper displayed by the Southern
pi ople since tho day of their submission to tho
inevitable imposed upon them by superior
armaments:
The Southern people have been hardly and
unjustly dealt by in this whole business of recon
struction. It was no fault of theirs that the dif
ferent departments of the government fell to
f|imrreling over the conditions of restoration.—
When they had-thrown down their arms and
submitted, they were entitled to know what
would be required of them. Two years and
three months have elapsed, and they are still
kept in ignorance. They have aright to demand
that this uncertainty, so disgraceful to the gov
ernment, shall be removed by a simple, perspicu
ous, self-interpreting law, informing them with
out ambiguity of the terms imposed, and pledg
ing the honor of Congress to their prompt re-tul-
rnission when the prescribed terms are complied
with.
Severe but True.—The Chicago Times ex
presses its opinion in respect to negro sutlrage
in the following forcible words:
The attempt to make the negroes dominant in
the South through the agency ol a military des
potism, is a crime in comparison with which the
rebellion was a virtue. There is every element
ot meanness in it. It is a cowardly revenge. It
is a declaration by white American citizens that
ignorant and degraded negroes are their superi
ors. It is a prostitution of government. It is
the elevation of sin and ignorance over intelli
gence and virtue. Hell is not punishing a crime
more enormous or one which approaches it in
meanness. The military commander who will
lend himsell to its perpetration is putrid, lie is
working for the accomplishment ot a villainy
more horrid and loathsome than was perpetra
ted by the hoary old lecher Ccnei.
A caricature has been published at Mata-
moras, which represents Uncle Hnm lying fiat on
his hack witli Canada underneath him, and his
head in his Russian purchase, taking an iced
drink, his legs cramped up by a rickety lonce
named Mexico. Uncle Sain meditutiveiy says
he will have to stretch out ids legs directly. The
picture tickles the Texans amazingly.
Killed at Fort Deposit.—The Montgom
ery Adcertiser of tho 24th says: Seawriglit, a
grocery merchant, was killed at Fort Deposit,
about two o’clock yesterday, by a man named
Johnson. Seawriglit received two frightful stabs
in the breast, while Ids adversary escaped un
hurt. It is supposed that he is iu this city, and
efiorts are being made to arrest him.
A correspondent of the San Francisco Bul
letin states tliat near Monterey there are frogs
weighing twenty-five pounds, and that their
croaking can he heard six miles. The same ve
racious authority avers tliat they are used in
place of (og bells, anil cost notiiing to keep iu
repair.
Chattanooga.—A ruilrtmd man informed qs
yesterday that ho noticed a considerable sprink
ling of Browulow’s mllltla iu and about the city
at the loot ot Lookout. They are there, of
course, to see tliat none but good toil men vote.
What a commentary will such an election be
upon the elective franchise.
A Good Practical Idea.—We agree with an
exchange when it gays that “dull limes are al
ways the best for advertisers. Why ? Because,
when money is tight and people are forced to
economise, they always read the advertisements
to ascertain who sells tlis cheapest, and where
they can trade to the best advantage.”
The Harvest #r 1807.
The Chicago "tribune has an Interesting article
upon tho crops of 1807, Wo quote ns follows;
It ts now an ageortainod fact that tho crop of
wheat which has been gathered mid Is now gath
ering iu tho UnitCd’Stales Is generally the largest
and best which has over been raised In this couth
try. The cotton, sugar, rlco and tobacco crops
give promise of a larger yield than lms been
known sinfco 1800, wbilo tlio corn gives an assur
ance tlmt it will oxoecd in amount that ol any
previous yield. There is no material blessing
equaling In valuo tills general success of ail
kinds of agricultural products. Its benefits aro
direct,.and reach every human being in the land.
Tho breadth of wheal sown tills year In all
parts of the country is greatly in excess of any
previous year, and tho crop lias reached a suc-
cesslul liarvesting nmro free Irom casualties ol
ail kinds than lias over been known. Tho wheat,
both winter and spring, will Do not only abun
dant, but of a superior quality. This will be
cheering nows to consumers, and will lighten tlio
hearts of thousands to whom bread lms of late
bueu almost a luxury. The fruit crop, of every
Uiud, will lio a large and tine ono. We have al
ready enjoyed tlio smaller fruits, which have
been both plenty and of a good quality, while
tlio apple aud peach crops promise a like abun
dance.
Tho aggregate value ol tlio general crop ol
the United States may bo estimated by tailing
that of 1860 as a standard of an average yield.—
In that year the yield ol the leading articles .was
as follows:
2,1M,sS0,N90 poiintK
173,1IH,1131 bushels.
.... 838,798,7-10 bushel*.
31,101,380 bushels.

corn
ltyc
Oats

Buckwheat
Potatoes.
Butter.
Cheese

Cane Sngar
Hay
These figures show tlio extent ot tho crop ot
1800. That was seven years ago, since which
time tlie breadth ot land devoted to agricultural
products lms been greatly increased in all parts
of the Nortli. The prices of all these products
have advanced somewhat, An estimate of the
value of the crop of 1807 may be readied by
adding to tlie amount produced iu I860, (except
of cotton and sugar,) forty pci*-cent., and com
puting the increased quantity by tlio ruling
prices.
Between the first of July and tlie first of No
vember, this vast volume of actual wealth will
lie added to tlie national capital; it represents
so much gold, but is more indispensable than
gold.
Tlie abundance ol tlie crop in the articles We
liave mentioned, contributes also to a like iu-
leuse in countless oilier articles. The grass
crop of this year, which, perhaps, will surpass
any of its predecessors, indicates an increase ot
pasturage, and consequently, ot fat beeves and
other five stock. Tlie corn crop points to an
immense addition to the number ol hogs to lie
slaughtered. The products of tlie garden show
tlie general bounty of nature, and from countless
sources will lie added tlie contributions from tlie
rop of 1807 to tlie aggregate wealtli of tlie
country.
The Execution ol' Blnxlmlllnii.
Wo take from tlio Esperanto, of (Jueretaro, a
true and allcctiiig account of the execution of
Maximilian—as follows:
The procession then wended its way along the
('idle del Comeutcrio behind tlie church and
along the route by the aqueduct. Iti a short
while it had tlie whole plain iu lull view, and
tlio view below was imposing indeed. Tlie Em
peror marched first, with the Abbe Fischer on
liis right, and tlie bishop on his left. Behind
him came Miramon, resting on tlio arms of two
Frauciscans, and Mejia, supported by tlie two
priests belonging to tlie parish of tlio Santa
Cruz. When they had reached the top ol tlie
height do la Campana, Maximilian looked fixedly
toward tlie risiug sun; then drawing trom his
pocket his watch, touched its spring and pro
duced a miniature likeness of tlie Empress Car-
lotta. lie brought the image to his lips, kissed
it, and then handing it by tlio chain to Father
Fischer, said: “Carry this souvenir to Europe
for my dear wile; and should she ever he tilde
to understand you, tell her tliat my eyes were
closed with her likeness, which 1 will bear with
mo to heaven I” The point which tlie cortege
had reached is near tlie big wall of tlie cemetery.
Tlie bells ot tlie churches were tolling, and tlie
immediate witnesses ol tho scene were hut (ew,
diory.
The three black crosses and tlie prisoners'
benches were fixed against tlie wall, and Uie
three firing platoons—composed of five men
each, with two under olllccrs to each platoon in
reserve for tho coup de grace—advanced to with
in three paces of the condemned. Tlie Empe
ror, when ho heard tlio clicking ol tlie firelocks,
thought they were about to fire, and approach
ing his two companions lie embraced them with
touching earnestness. Miramon was so aflccted
that lie nlinost fell over on his scat, but tlie
Franciscan stretched his arms out in tlie atti
tude of a cross. Mejia returned tlie Emperor’s
embrace with great affection, and uttered some
broken words tliat no oue could distinguish, and
crossing liis arms on his breast stood up nobly.
The Bishop, advancing to Maximilian, said;
“Sire, in my presence, bestow upon all Mexico
t ie kiss of reconciliation. Let your Majesty for
give all at this supreme moment.” The Empe
ror, agitated to tlie utmost, allowed the good
Bishop to embrace him amid tlie most profound
silence. All of a sudden raising his voice, lie
cried out, “Tell Lopez tliat 1 forgive him his
treason. Tell all Mexico that I forgive her her
crime.” He then shook hands with tlio Abbe
Fischer, who could not utter a word Irom emo
tion, aud who then fell ou liis knees at the Ein-
jjeror's feet and shed copious tears while lie kiss
ed Maximilian’s hand. Many besides tlie ahlie
were shedding tears also. Tlie Emperor gently
withdrew liis hands, and, moving forward, said,
with a sad and apparently ironic smile, to the
officer in command of tlie tiring party: A la dis-
position de V. (At your disposal, sir.)
When the officer gave the signal for “aim,”
Maximilian uttered something in German, which
the report of the muskets drowned to tlie hear
ers. Miramon rolled over as if struck with a
holt. Mejia, who was standing, heat the air
with liis hands a few times before lie fell, and a
shot in the ear finished his pain. The Emperor
tell over on the cross, which kept him up, and
from which ho was picked up after having been
dispatched.
Tlio interment took place in tlie cemetery, and
the Bishop ofQueretaro performed the absolution.

Gen, Schofield and tlio Klclnnond Court*.
Richmond, July 25.—The reply of the Justices
of the Hustings Court to General Schofield’s
communication will he made public to-morrow.
The court justifies its decisions in the cases
named by him, on the ground ol justice, and
utterly deny that the parties being born at the
North or South had anything to do witli it, with
reference to tlie fining of Holtz only one cent
for assaulting tlio teacher of a freedmau’s school
who had whipped his brother. It never was
known tliat a Virginia court would imprison any
man for an assault upon another man, when
that other man had beaten a child, even though
tlie child so beaten was not of kith or kin, much
less a nephew, son, (laughter, brother or sister of
the party committing tlie assault. Such cases
liave previously occurred in our courts, hut
never in tlie history of Virginia courts was a man
imprisoned lor such nil otlense, for such a sen
tence would shock tlie moral sense of the whole
country. With reference to tlie court having
advised a nolle prossequi in a case where the
counsel of the parties had said tlmt government
courts were intended to try Confederates, tlie
magistrates disclaim all responsibility for what
counsel may say, and deny that their judgment
was at all influenced by tlio remaining ques-
tious.
