"FbKKDOM OK 8TRKCH AND OF TUB I’ltKAx” to which Gen. 1’opc refers, as quoted above, is nol only essential “to satisfactory reconstruction in the South, 1 ' but ills essential also to tho promul gation of truth anil the preservation ol civil lib erty. Wo thank the Gknkkai. for ids reference to it, anil shall embrace the opportunity it af fords us of presenting some views ol our own, and ot calling attention to the views of others connected with the press from which the forego ing extract is made, null bis "Order No. 40” abridging the privileges of the press and allud ing the rights of individuals. AVrsf, we propose a reference to the “Order.” On the first page of this day’s issue of the In- telmoencek, the reader will find an article ta ken Irom tho Macon Telegraph'which fully ex presses our own views In regard to that extraor dinary mandate. We deem It entirely unneces sary, to repeat what is so well expressed by our Maconcotctuporary. In ono respect this jouunai. has iliflercd with most of the dally Conservative journals in the Stato. It has not opposed the calling of a State Convention; anil it has recom mended tho adoption of the reconstruction mea sures of Congress by that body when it shall, as we have ever believed it will, assemble. Our reasous for recommending that course we have often presented to our readers, and it is hot ne cessary now to repeat them here. Suffice it to say, that wo hnvc been impressed with the con viction that they were tho best terms of recon struction the Radical Congress would ever offer the South, nnd that if those terms were rejected, reconstruction would nevertheless soon follow upon terms more repugnant and more oppressive to our people. Never theless, even this press lias been ostracised in a practical manner, by the operations of “Or der No 49." Surely it committed no oflonso in advising tbe assemblage of a Convention ami recommending the adoption of tho reconstruc tion measures of Congress. What then are wo to presume was its offense? Simply that it would not affiliate politically, nor in any other way, with tho Radical party of. the North, nor the so-called “ Republican party of Georgia." Our self-re spect, every principle in our nature, revolted, anil still revolts, at any such affiliation, nor can wo be cither tempted or intimidated into assu ming any more favorable attitude in regard to cither of these parties, the Northern, or the odious one conceived in our once proud and prosperous Stntc. The evidence of loyalty; of a desire to reconstruct, or to bo restored to the Union; of being law-abiding; must appear in giving in . one’s adhesion to the Hadienl parti/—all else goes for naught. Be it so; we nrc con tent with simply claiming “freedom of speech and ot the press," for which Grnehai. Pope expresses so much regard, to protest most solemnly against a programme that will tend to place Georgia In the position of Tennessee— a sad fate, even in the estimation of General Pope. We have striven, and we will yet strive to save her and her people from so great a ca lamity. Wo fear, however, that it is too late, nnd il it be, we shall have lilt us only the mel ancholy satisfaction ot claiming, when pointing to her deplorable condition, “Thou cauHt not say I dill it.’ 1 So much’for tho “ Oudeb” of General Pope in regard to the press. We now turn to his Letter to General Grant, which we published on yesterday, in regard to which we submit the following from the Washington City National Intelligencer, as a lair and frank criticism of that most remarkable document. Says tlie Intelligencer: Nothing which the unhappy demoralization of the times has evolved for the sail contempla tion of men attached to free government, com pares, for blushless and unconscious advocacy of power against right, with the extraordinary effusion of General Pope, which we publish else where this morning. This officer does not seem to have the least suspicion of the character of ids principles or those ol tho just and loyal man to whom lie was writing. He addresses the magnanimous nnd reasonable Grant in a connection which shows that lie did not, suspect himself of advocating principles in which his wiser anil nobler eldel must tcel it a reproach to be thus seemingly made a partner. Ho, in etlect, invites the latter —on the presumption that they agree in denying the right of the weak to differ with the strong in the doctrine that faith need not he kept with op ponents, and in the expediency ot preventing, contrary t o the will oi Congress, a restoration ol the Union—to unite in a project lor dispensing with the Government of the United States. He does not expressly say the Government, nor the Constitution, nor the laws of the Union, but he far more very emphatically says it by the tearful implication ol directly advising the repudiation uf every foundation-stone ot its fab ric, and even of the fabric of society itself. It is the primitive language of the sword, and we are sure General Pope himself will sin-ink, as an American gentleman, as soon as lie recognizes in his sentiments the very same that shaped the career of the terrible Tartar of Asia, Genghis Khan, the destroyer, consistently, of ten millions of people, who were his enemies, and would not yield, anil who became bis enemies by refusing to be his subjects. Il this dreadful Tartar had a right to the love of whosoever he chose as Ids adherents, then he had a right to punish their disalleelion ; and ii it was impossible to banish them, or if they refused to go, lie was obliged to yield his just rights, or destroy those who wronged him. We say General l’ope would be shocked, in common with every modern person not utterly bad, if he could see himself identified In his principles with Genghis lvlian. Blit we ask, in all candor, what difference of principle exists, il tbolormer has fairly expressed himself? The key of the Tartar’s crime was in presuming, as one man, to coerce the sentiment of others, lie was ignorant ol rights. A right without the power of enforcing itself was not,to him, aright. If it liad the power ot enforcing itself, it needed not to be a right. These things arc but slightly known lo savage life. All literature, all philosophy, all science, all religion, all polity, all law, in a word, all civilization is one unanimous shout of disgust, coming down from all ages and from every peo ple on earth, at suclt a doctrine as General Pope proposes for the co-operation of General Grant. What is tho actual substance of General Pope’s communication ? There was originally much dlftcrcucc of opin ion as to the best inode for restoring the “practi cal constitutional relations” of tho estranged .States and their people to the Union. The me thod inaugurated by .Mr. Lincoln, and pursued by Mr. Johnson, was overborne by Congress, who ordained a different method, under the persuasion that it would bo more speedy und dloetual. By many of the most patriotic and able men of the country its failure was predict ed. General Pope recognizes the tact, with hon est pain anil regret. lie thus artlessly casts upon Congress a de nunciation more sweeping and tremendous than lias ever assailed that body Ironi any other quar ter: “ It is, however, my duty to stato that, in my judgment, the condition ol uliairs in the South ern States, even should reconstruction be satis factorily accomplished, will of necessity be a re production, in a more or less modified degree, of what now exists in Tennessee, unless some measures are adopted to free the country of the turbulent and disloyal leaders of the re-actionary party. Whilst these persons remain in the coun try to exercise the balelul influence they un doubtedly possess, there can ire no peace.” This occurs near the end of his letter, but Its logical place may well lie first. Is it, then, ac knowledged that the reconstruction of tbe Houlh- | ern States cannot bo accomplished without ban ishing tho opposition party from the country? Surely to banish political leaders, however licen tious and mischievous, is a novelty in election eering absolutely iuteiorable to the American mind. It would be idle to suppose that in any community of this country a leader here and tllero could l>e bauishod, expressly for horotfcal politics, without exciting among, at least, all ills partisans a morbid and extreme sympathy with him and his sentiments. Nobody In the world Nvonld expect, nor could atlect to resent such a result. If, then, leaders are tb bo banished, so must-followers bo; nnd as all experience shows, these would increase both in numbers and in zeal. Gcnoral Pope, thon, flatly proclaims tho doctrlno that wliou ono pnrty wishes to carry an election, and to carry all subsequent ofeclicns, tltey havo the right, ami it Is evon their duty, to banish all who will not help them; and he is brought to that by perceiving how inevitably this solvent of all society is forced upon li in l>y the utter failure ot tho reconstruction policy.— Alas I that a corollary so mournful and so indis putable should go coldly into this, our humble record, without astounding tho public intellect, and covering our statesmen with shame I If anything could set In a more moUrnlitl light tho dangerous perversions of principle which the utter IhUuro of the reconstruction measures lias driven a trank soldier into, as an armed minister ul the scheme, it is the singular reason, given by an American officer, attached tq thn flag of tho Republic, for indulging, with important restric tions, a temporary freedom of public discussion in his district. The reason given is, that if per sons who under tho reconstruction statutes them- scives have been invested witli a right ot iree suf frage should vole in favor of reorganization un der the pledges of Congress, the Intter would lie under an obligation to rcstoro tho Union, and consequently to emancipate them from further subjection, except in common with the good and had people ot Northern States. Tltis, General l’opo thinks, would bo a great calamity. It was, indeed, what Congress intended, and what they solemnly pledged tho nntional laitli to do. But acting in tho belief that the people of tho South ern Sta'es, though they had made all proper laws, &o., exactly as dictated by men of the North, yet would, by reason ot disaffection ol some few, not execute their own laws in a manner satis factory to us, lie thinks it would bo a public ca lamity to liuifil tho pledge and allow them, even according to our own exactions, to come into the enjoyments of their constitutional rights; mid ns he believes that freedom oi speeeli would lend lo defeat the reconstruction scheme, anil disappoint the express will of Congress, lie is willing to grant it. That is to say, for those peo ple lo escape Irom military subjection would be a good tiling to their minds, but a bad tiling to General Rope's. But, in General Pope’s opin ion, their prejudices are allies of his wishes— both being contrary to the reconstruction scheme and, in order to work out his end, which lie shows to be nn^jndeflnito military subjection, and a banishment of all persons opposed lo il, lie virtually informs General Grant that he will encourage all men of prejudice and disaffection to hasten their own banishment! Let us ask General Popo to peruse Ids own letter, with the following respectful suggestions in his mind: Suppose Unit Irom any cause Congress had thought lit to ordain a suffrage law and a re quirement of a new constitution and new laws lor one of the States of the North, and bail placed General l’opo on the ground as the ex ecutive officer ot the scheme, would lie feel at liberty to speculate on the ulterior sentiments and practices of tho people temporarily sub jected—we care not how justly or necessarily— to his military domination, and thon proceed, not to effectuate the statutory scheme for their amelioration, ns provided by the presumed wis dom ot the Legislature of the Union, but to procure its failure, and the substitution of Ids own scheme, and lor this purpose, to seek to energize that part of the population who were opposed to the scheme intended lor their relief so as to make them subservient to his own scheme, conceived for tho purpOso o( their ex pulsion or destruction? We inquire whether that course ot action would not he directly con trary to the laws.he was sent to execute, direct ly in tiii'thcmiii.'u ol laws not yet inexistence; or, in other winds, of Revolution, nnd a nmui- test breach of good faith in office, heightened by being done in the great name ot freedom of discussion ? Wo invito the attention of tho leading mem bers of Congress, of the President, and of Gen eral Grant lo tho seditious course of Gen. Pope. The I.ate Order «■ (o (he Pres*. As I here is an imputation in the recent order of General Popo that the officers advertising in the papers opposing the Congressional plan ol reconstruction arc prompted in their course by a desire to foster the press on account of their opinions on this subject, in justice to the various officers who have been patrons of our’s, we make the following statement: The Ordinaries ot Bibb, .Jones and Quitman counties hnvc been publishing with us since we became the owners ol the Telegraph, in 18(15. The Sheriff of Quitman county has, tor some time past, done the same, lor the reason that our circulation in his comity was large. The Ordi nary ol Putnam county, for the reason that our circulation was the largest in his county. Tin- City Council of Macon made a contract with the two newspapers of this city for ono year from last December, when they were inducted into office. Wo have received a portion of the busi ness from three State officers from the time they were elected in 1865. Not a word has ever passed between us and any of these gentlemen mi the subject of our political position. The laws ol Georgia provide that these various offi cers shall publish in the. newspaper having the largest circulation in their respective conn- ties. This law is imperative, nnd we cannot understand what section of the Reconstruction acts empowers any one to change tho laws ol Georgia in this respect. These various officers designated us ns their publishers for die same reason that the War De partment nt Washington, under the direction of Mr. Stanton even, designated us ns the advertis ing medium of certain officers of tho United Slates army—that the advertisements might be seen by the largest number of persons practica ble, and thereby accomplish their object. Wlmt is true ot our patrons is doubtless true of those ol other members ol the press. This statement we make that no wrong im pressions may be created abroad by tho charges in the late order. Not belonging to the order ol Mendicants, not leaving our office to seek money for the purpose of carrying ou our business from men or parties, never expecting to live upon loaves nnd fishes thrown out by Government officials, conducting our business on strictly busi ness principles, relying upon our friends who, we have found, arc always ready to give their support and encouragement to those who attend to their business, nnd in an independent, manly way discuss questions in candor, adhere to prin ciple, and advocate only those measures which will be lor the good of llicir people, we do not expect to suspend on accniuito! this interference with our legitimate business. On the contrary, we are happy to announce that we are able to publish for our former patrons, as news, any notices that may ho of interest to the hundreds ol readers we have in their several comities. As regards the implication in General Pope's order that the Conservative press, or at least a portion of it, have sought, by threats or other wise, to embarrass any publio officer in the dis charge ot Ids official duties, we have to say that no sueli charge can he justly brought against this journal, nor have we seen ground lor it in any j that come to us in exchange. We think General \ Pope must have been imposed upon in tins par- 1 lieular iiy some one who had a design in misrep resenting the Conservative press.—Macon Tele graph. Just so! We greet thee brother 'Telegraph.— “General Pope must liavO been imposed upon," not only in the particular referred to by our Ma con cotctuporary, but in many other particulars. We shall battle for the right and maintain our sworn loyalty to tbe Government at the same time. Our motto shall ever he that of the sov ereigns of Great Britain, though expressed in tho language ol the French, "itieu el mem droit.” Gon AND MY BIGHT. Maximlllau*N Avengers. A Paris letter to the Augusta Constitutionalist says: "I understand that an army of volunteers, to avenge the murder of Maximilian, is being form ed in many of the lending cities of Europe. The enthusiasm of the higher classes ot young men to join in this modern crusade is irrepressible.— Report in Paris says that an eminent Southern statesman and General will lie invited to take command. The head center of the movement will probably be in London. It is also stated that at least five hundred thousand volunteers have enlisted and there is no doubt but what a severe retribution will lie dcult upon Mexico. It will be hardly fair to visit upon a nation a retri bution which should fall upon one man.” A Polite Invitation.—Tho Herald's Wash ington correspondent, speaking of tho five sa traps, says: “Sheridan will probably be tbe first victim, and Pope the next. Then there will he a pause. Should the other commanders profit by the fate of these two and tall gracefully in with the Johnsonian policy, they will be allowed to remain in office a long time, and may not be jditred nt nil if their support is given heartily ami in real earnest; hut if, when Sheridan is re moved, the rest tender their resignations, I have no doubt no obstacle will be throwu in the way of their retirement.” Three Tlilnii » Woman Can’t Bo. There arc three tilings n woman can’t do. First, slio can't sharpen a lead pencil. Give her one aud see. Mark how laggedly site hacks away every parlielo of wood around tho lead, leaving an unsupported splko ot tho latter which breaks immediately wlton used. You can almost forgive tile male creature his compassionate con tempt ns, chuckling her Under tho chin, lie twitches It Irom Iter awkward liltlu paw, and rirnmls and tapers it in tho moBt ravishing man ner tor durable use. 1 wish to hoar no inure on Hint point, because when I once make up my mind, “all tho king’s men” can't change it. Well, then secondly: A woman can't do up a bundle. Hlic takes a whole newspaper to do up a paper of pins, nnd a coil of rope to tie it, anil it will come undone at that. When 1 go shop ping—which is sometimes my hard lot to do—I look on with the thsclnnling gaze ot a bird in the neighborhood ol a magnetic serpent, to watch clerks do up bundles. Hmv the paper falls just into Hie right crease; how dellly they turn it over, and tuck il under, amt lie it up nnd throw il down upon the counter ns it they had done tho most common thing in the world, instead ol a need which might, anil in faith does, tusk the ingenuity of “angels!" It is perfectly astonish ing. Thirdly—1 may nibble to the tael that women cannot carry an umbrella, nr rather to a very pe culiar maimer in which they 'perform that duty ; bull won't. I scorn-to turn traitor ton sex who. whatever limy he their faults, arc always loyal to each other. 9n 1 shall not say, us 1 might otherwise have said, that when t hey im- lurl tho parachute alluded to, they put it down over their noses—take the middle ol the side walk, raking oil men's lints ami women's bonnets as they go, ami walking right into the breakfast ol some wight, with that disregard of the conse quent gasp which to lie understood must be felt, as the offender«cncks up one corner of the para chute and looks defiantly at tho victim who has tlie effrontery to come into the world and hazard the whalebone and liandlo ol Let- “ umbrill !”— No, 1 won’t speak of anything ol the kind; lie- sides, lias not a celebrated writer remarked that when “dear woman is cross, il is only because she is sick." Let us hope he is right. We all know that it is not the cause ol man’s crossness. Give him his favorite ilisli and you may dine off him afterwards—it you want to. Wo know of three tilings a true woman can do, if she cannot sharpen a lead pencil, do up a bundle, or carry an umbrella. She can and does minister unto the afflicted ami sick. She can and does make home the paradise on earth for husband and for children. She can and does give the wisest counsel when calamity and misfortune assail her household, and hears them with a heroic philosophy lew ol the opposite sex ever exhibit. Traduce not woman for‘the reason that the fanciful of her sex display tollies of training or education. Remember, “Tho world wap pad. I tie garden wan ft wild, Amt limn, the hermit, sighed, till woman smiled.'’ S|ili-U of tlic I’roHS. n It ANT. The Galena (Illinois) tlazette, published in tlie place where Grant resided beluro the war, and which is said to he the only paper that Grant regularly reads, is also urging Grant as a candi date for the next Presidency, on the platform of peace, conciliation and fraternity. The (lazette discusses tho kind of man the country wants for the next President, and argues that: “We do uot want a man who will imagine himsell to he the State, nor an ambitious man, who will imagine that the people were made lor him, nor do we want a cunning, crafty, confi dence operator, who thinks that politics is only a game of Ihinilile-rig. Nor do we want a man whoso whole aim will be to fan and keep alive the embers of discord. In short, wo want nei ther knave nor fool, nor coward. But we do want an honest man lor our next President, who has faith in the potency of sirong-lmnded and cool-headed justice.” In the meantime, the Tribune, ariesout “Grant must speak,” and tells its renders that it will support no mau as President who does not commit himself entirely to the schemes of the Radicals. It admires Sherman, and believes him to he as honest as lie is brave and skillful lie “would make a sincere President," aud “would do what he deemed lo be best;” but the editor would not vote for him, because he is not a pronounced Radical. He declines to indorse IIrant for tho same reason. Let him say lie is a Radical, anil he can have thu vote of the Re publican party! “One word is all we want," says thu editui, hut without that Grant connot “carry our banner,” nor have our vote. This article, to the Journal of Commerce, suggests two questions: “Are the earnest Radicals in such preponder ance among the Republicans that they can prevent the nomination of Grant nnless he shouts their catch-word ? And if lie should commit himself wholly to their cause, and unbosom his 'blazing soul’ to their expectant eyes, could they lie so sure of electing him ?" REMOVAL OK THE CABINET. General Grant, according to a Washington letter in the World, lias had a private consulta tion with the President, in which lie urged the dismissal of every member of the Cabinet, in order to create harmony between Mr. Johnson and his advisers. We quote: "The General is known to be particularly hos tile to Mr. Seward, whom he regards as too admit nnd dangerous to lie trusted. He also fears that il the Seretary of State is retained, he will form political combinations in Congress, through thu agency of Waile, to defeat any programme which may be adopted to restore traternal relations be tween the North ami South, it is deemed prob able that, should the general hold office, lie will endeavor to have Sherman appointed to a place in the Cabinet.” [From the Augusta Constitutionalist,] A C'lirlonlly. Several Radical papers published in Georgia are either owned and conducted by Southern- horn men, or men ot Northern birth, whose iu- tere.-ts have teen for many years identified with ours. Those horn in the South very tar surpass in loiiil-moutlicd zeal those born elsewhere. This is quite singular; lor wliilo.it is not very marvel ous to expect anything hut abuse ot our own in stil ill inns anil people from a thorough Yankee, il is monstrous lor one of our people, Iiy birth or association, to turn against his kindred in dis tress. Men of this description are lully aware ot the depravity of such conduct aud strive to gain preferment in the camps of the enemy Iiy outstripping the fanaticism of the most loyal. They tear ostracism without such bellowing, and prevent mistakes by wearing the scarlet letter ou their foreheads. While, therefore, these journalists ot South ern birth or identification receive General Pope’s pap—No. 49—either with silent grati tude or open congratulation, the editor of the Savannah Ihpuhtican, a live Yankee who fought against us in the field, and still fights —hangs his head in shame at the perpetration ol this gross injustice and, with a manliness worthy ol all praise, gives It a fitting chastisement. This man bus the sagacity lo preceive and tho scholar ship to know that outrngesupon n down-trodden people are not the best or wisest provocatives o( a much desired fraternity; that the petty spite ol a conspicuous official damages his party in calculably in the present nnd adds another stone of infamy to pile the pyramid of future detesta tion. No matter hmv vigorously or adroitly this Savannah editor may assail onr political posi tion, wo shall hold him in respect. But how shall we respect those Southern men who thrive upon the lickings of Gen. Pope's platters and secretly exult over the garbage they have earned by odorilcrous affiliations of party aud unclean confessions ot infidelity ? Verily, this is a curio sity (or the million. Just ns it may require a Yankee involution to save the Southern people from selt-destroclton, so it lias come to pass that a Yankee editor lias saved Hie credit of Ids loyal coadjutors by a robust exhibition of honor.— Would that some Hogarth hail pictured the grimaces of ye loyal Southerners when reading their disgrace in the terrible rebuke administered by the bona-fide “loyalist” ol the Savannah /,Y- puhUean. Motion and Bnalnca* Prospects.' Business yesterday was as dull us it was tlm day before, although we discovered tlireo or four cotton merchants-it is not necessary to name them—speaking hopefully ot what will bo done after the rent notes duo on thn first and fourth of November shall have been paid. They said that tliero is a line “chance” of cotton—that there will ho 950,000 bales coming tor Mobile hand ling, ami that, at 2(5 cents u pound—greenbacks, lie it understood—will amount to an aggregate equal to any of our past cotton crops—making the difference of tho value in gold in favor ol tho port. We have Been planters from some sect ions of Alabama who tell ns Hint tho sum of the crop coming hither will meet the figure set above; but they were judging only from tho appear ances that were present, to them, 'They took not much account of those nasty anil destruc tive little worms that sometimes in autumn come along, sending the husbandman down Irom the highest hope to the lowest despair. And yet, men who g vc their opinions in this oll-lmntl way, and crop writers who give them currento calamo, may all fail. But we know that there is a general impression -not now taking into ac count tlie dangers that are still before tho cotton fields—that it is not running to cxlrav iganco to say that here within this city of Mobile, at least 200,000 cotton hales will enmo before we get through next summer. We don’t know much about it, and only nl- hide to the matter in order to help to give as suratice to those who are inclined to believe tlmt there is some reason to suppose that we shall have a rather busy trade niter awhile. Let ns trust that before that time tlie men who steal entton may ho extinct—gone entirely out ol fashion anil dead.—Mobile Tribune. The Women all Kiglit. The Nashville Union <t- Dispatch relates the following incident which demonstrates that Sent hern women are not only all right; hut ready to work: An incident occurred recently at the Green brier White Sulphur Springs, Virginia, that il lustrates the independent spirit of the Southern women. Tlie head steward belonging to the immense hotel of the Springs, dressed himself from top to toe, and pres oil ted himself in the hall-room lo dance with the numerous guests there assembled. The proprietor immediately ordered him out and demanded what such eon- duet meant. The negro replied, it meant equal- itg, and if he was not received into the bail-room, lie and every other servant in the establishment would leaVe. The Lilly visitors heard the cir cumstance, called on the proprietor and told him to dismiss every servant in the house promptly and they wo lid serve in their places until he could procure others. He did so, and tlie ladies Irom every part oi the South sojourning at this justly popular watering place, went into the kitchen, chambers, laundry, dining-room, etc., and tilled with perlect satisfaction every position until the proprietor went to Glmrloltsvillc and procured other servants. Those are imembel- iislicd tacts. IIoNoRAin.E (Jot RTsttif.—Wo heard a very pretty incident the other day, which wo cannot help relating. A young lady from the South, il seems, was wooed and won Iiy a youthful phy sician living in California. When tlie engage ment was made tlie doctor was rich, having been very successful at San Francisco. 11. had not existed many months, however, when, Iiy an iinlortmmte investment, lie lost his entire “help." The event came upon him, it should he added, just as he was about to claim his bride. What does lie do? Why, like an honorable and chiv alrous young fellow, ns lie is, he sits down and writes the young lady the pailieulars of the un happy turn which lmd taken place in ids for tunes, assuring her that il the lin t produces any change of teeling towards him, she was released from ail the promises she had made to him.— And what does she, tlie dear, good girl? Why, she takes n lump ol pure gold, which her lover had sent iter in his prosperity ns a keepsake, and having it miimiiuctiiml into a ring, for wards it to him, with the following Bible in scription engraved in distinct characters on the outside: “Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; lor whither thon guest I will go, and where thou lodges! 1 will lodge; thy people shall he my people; and thy God my God ; where thou du st 1 will die and there will 1 he buried; Hie Lord do so to nie ami more also, il aught but death part me ami thee." The lover idolized his sweetheart mere than ever, when he received this precious evidence of her devotion to him both in storm and sunshine.— Wo mnyadd that fortune soon again smiled upon the young physician, and that lie subsequently returned to tlie Month lo well the sweet girl lie loved, amt who hived him with such an undying atlectinn. Young ladies who read the Bible, as the heroine ot this incident seems to have done, are pretty sure to make good sweethearts and better wives.—Louisville Journal. Most Deplorable Accident.—A most de plorable accident, resulting in the death ot u venerable lady, occurred last night. Thu fam ily of a prominent citizen, residing on St. Louis street, nnd now absent on a visit to Pensacola, had, one or two nights before, been disturbed by mi attempt nt burglary. The only son present on the premises was, at the time, sick in bed, and lmd taken some opium to lull Ids pains. Last night, after midnight, the mother of the family awoke, nnd, supposing there was some one trying to lorcc an enternnee in tier room, she slipped oil her bed and entered tlie adjoin ing room, where her son, still under the effect ot a soporific portion, was uneasily resting. To avoid alarming bint, the lender mother gently shook him Iiy the arm, when, horrible to relate, the milortuiialu son, aroused Irom Ids heavy slumber, nnd before having recover ed from its effect, supposing that some robber had entered the room and, fetch ing out a pistol from under Ills pillow, l wire pull ed the fatal trigger and saiit. tin: bullet through the throat ol his beloved mother, who, In the ag onies id' her death, faithful to her maternal in stinct, exclaimed, "Son ! son ! you did not mean it. God bless you!” Awakening to the terrible reality, the unfortunate man rushed out to seize in ids arms his dying mnthor, and the whole family having hastened to the room, the saintly matron repented In r words of forgiveness anil blessing, and soon expired in the midst n| tier beloved family. Grazed by the deed, the invol untary parrieade rushed out of tlie homo God had so cruelly visited through llis unconscious hand, and has not been seen since. A profound respect for such deep and heart-rending ntllielion induces us to hold back the names of the victim and surviving sufferers. There are sorrows so great, heart agonies sn harrowing, Unit tlie rude hand ol publicity should not he allowed to touch tlie wounds they ildliet.- -Mobile Times, IItb instant. Status op the Cabinet.—Concerning tbe recent Cabinet rumors the Washington Mar nays: "Wo have reason lo believe that the President is unt a parly to the movement against these Cabinet officers, It is well known tlmt l 1^ on the line ol Reconstruction j Secretary McCulloch lms invariably reiiiscd to j make political belief a test of disqualification for office, and there seems no reason why this fact should specially unfit him for a position in tlie Cabinet, just at tills time. The real parties to this crusade against hi in are tlie bank note companies and Wall street operators, who hope to do better with a more facile Secretary. There seems no reason to look lor any action by the President, at this time, leading to Hie resigna tion oi these ministers, but there is no doubt tlmt all the members ol the Cabinet have sig nified their readiness to resign at the President's wish."
