Jeti r JXS THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA The termination of.a sanguinary contest, which for the past four years has presented au impassable barrier to all social or commercial intercourse between the two great sections of our country, having at length happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of those relations which formerly bound us together in a fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afford ed me by this auspicious event, to greet my Sonthern friends, and to solicit fr om them a renewal of that ex. tensive business connection which for a quarter of a century nas been uninterrupted save by the great pub lic calamity to which I have adverted. It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a busi ness re-union, I should repeat the warning so often given to my friends —to beware of all those spurious and deleterious compounds which, under the specious and false titles of Imported Wines, Bra ndies, Holland Gin, Liquors, &c., have been equally destructive to the health of our citizens and prejudicial to the interest of the legitimate Importer. Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid attempt to gxpose these wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac complish this salutary purpose, and to place before my friends and the public generally; at the lowest possible market price, and In such quantities as might suit their convenience, a truly genuine imported arti cle. Twenty-five years’ business transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass ed facilities for supplying our home market with Wines] Liquors, and Liquers of the best and most ap proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis tillery in Hollaud for the manufacture of the c dam Schnapps.’ The latter, so long tested and approved by the med ical Faculties of the United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli mates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cu pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a spurious article uuder the same name. I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, sur rounded all my importations with safeguards and di rections which with ordinary circumspection will in sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to all my customers. . I would, however, recommend in all cases where it is possible, (hat orders be sent.direct to my Depot, 22 Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, Ac,, in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign wines, embracing vintages of many past years, bottled up before the commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rure luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the early atten tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally at the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the present large and well selected assortment.

The Poem off the - Occstsiou by Colonel Charles G. Halplne. The following behntiftil poem, delivered at the Fourth of July Celebration on the battle field of Gettysburg, by Col. Hal pine, formerly Adjutaut General of the Department ot the South, whose compositions, under the mm and, plume 0.l Miles Ofieily, ate widely known, we print by special request:— Thoughts of the Flare aud Time. As men beneath some load of grief Or sudden joy will dumbly stand, * Finding no words to give relief— * Clear, passion- war in, complete and brief— To thoughts with which their souls expand, So here to-day -these trophies nigh Our lips no fit ting.winds can Ifeaeh; The iplls around, the graves, the sky— The silent poem of the eye Sot-pauses ail the art of speech ! To-day, a nation meets to build A nation's trophy to the dead, W ho, living, formed her awoid aud shield The arms she sadly learned to wield When other hope of peace had fitd. And not alone for those who lie in honored graves before us blent, Shall our proud column, broad autl high. Climb upward to the blessing sky, But be fur all a monument. An emblem of our grief as well For others as for there, wc raise; For ihese beneath our feet who dwell, Aud all who in tile good cause fell Ou other fields, in frays, To all the sell same love we bear Which here for marbled memory strives. No soldier for a wreath would cate Which all true comrades might not share— Brothers in death as iu their lives! On Southern hill sides, parched and brown, tu tangled swamp, ou verdant ridge, Where pines and broadening oaks look down, And jasmine weaves its yellow crown, And trumpet-creepers clothe the hedge; Along the shores of Endless sand, Beneath the palms of Southern plains, Sleep everywhere, hand locked in hand. To brothers of the gallant bund Who here poured life through throbbing veins. Around the closing eyes of all Tiie same red glories glared aud flew— The hurraing flags, the bugle call; The whistle of the angry ball; The elbow touch of comrades true ; The skirmish fire—a spattering spray; The rolimg growl or lire by tile; The thickening fury of the fray When opening batteries get in play, And the lines form o’er many a mile. The foeman’s yell, our answering cheer, Red flashes through the gathering smoke, Swift orders, resonant and clear; Blithe cries from.comrades tried and dear; . i The shell scream and the sabre stroke; The rolling fire from left to right, From right to left we hear it swell; The headlong charges, swift and bright; The thickening tumult of the fight, And bursting thunders of the shell. Q Now denser, deadlier grows the strife, And here we yield, and there we gain; The air with hurtling missiles rife. Volley for volley, life for Ute— *No time to heed the criqs of pain ! Panting as up the bills we charge, Or down them as we broken roll, Life never felt so high, so large, And never e-’er so Wldy a marge In triumph swept (he kn,dlfi,g soul New raptpres waken in the breast Amid this heli of scene and sound; The barking batteries never, rest, And broken fool, by horsemen pressed, Still stubbornly contest their ground, Fresh waves of battle rolling in T* take tbe place of Shattered waves ; Torn lines that grow more bent and thin— A blinding cloud, a maddening din— ’Twas thus were filled these very graves! Night falls at length with pitying veil— A moonlit silence deep aup fresh ; These upturned laces stained and pale, Vainly the chill night dews assail— Far colder. than gh&tjews their flesh! And flickering lar tn4)oehdbrush aud wood Go in hand— “ Seize it you call sOint* rest'and food, At dawn the fight wilfbe renewed. Sleep on your arms!" the hushed command. They talk in whispers as they lie. in line—these rough aud weary men ; "Dead or but wouuaed f" then a sigh ; 41 No coffee either f” "GuebS we’li try To get those two guns back again." “We fivefiaes to their one ! oho 1" “That bridge— ’twas hot there as we passed !" •* The colonel (lead; it can’t be so; Wounded and badly—that I know; But he kept saddle to the last,” 44 Be sure to send it if I fall—’’ “Any tobacco? Bill, have you?” “A brown haired, blue-eyed, laughing doll—" •‘Good night, boys, and God keep you all!" “ What! sound asleep? Guess I’ll sleep too.’’ 44 Yes, just*about this hour they pray For Dad—” ' “Stop talking;'’ puss the word!" And soon as qniet as the clay, Which thousands will but he next day, The long-drawn sighs of sleep are heard. • • • tt II « .« Oh, men ! to whom this sketch, though rude, Calls hack some scene of pain aud pride; Oh, widow ! hugging close your brood, Oh, wife! with happiness renewed, * Since he again is at your side; This trophy that to-day we raise f Should be a monument for all, w And on its sides no niggard phrase Confine a generous nation’s praise Te those who here have chanced to fall. But. let us all to-day combine Still other monuments to raise; Here for the Dead jve build a shriue ; And now to those who, crippled, pine, Let us give hope of happier days ! Let Homes lor these sad wrecks of war Through all the laud with speed arise; Tongues cry from every gaping scar, 44 Let not our brother’s tomb debar t The wounded living from your eyes/’ A noble day,'» deed as good, A noble scene in which ’tis done, The Birthday of our Nationhood, And here again the Nation stood tm this same day—its life rc-won ! A bloom of banners in the air, A double c-alAi of sky and soul; Triumphal chant and nugle blare, And green fields, spreading bright and fair, While heavenward our Hosannas roll. Hosannas for a laud redeemed', The bayonet sheathed, the cannon dumb; Passed, as some horror we have dreamed, The fiery meteors that here streamed, Threatening within our homes to come! Again our Imnner floats abroad, Gone the one stain i hat on it fell— And, bettered by His chastening rod, With streaming eyes uplift to God We say, "He doeth all things well " PRICE. 5 CENTS * Can Paroled Confederates be Tried for Treason ? T POSITION OF THE NEW YORB TRIBUNE ON THE QUESTION. It Claims llut tbe Terms of Surrender Pro- ’ tect tbe Capitulators. [From the New York Ti ibuae, July 3.] Bkttkh Give It Up.—We receive some let ters suggesting evasious of tbe spirit ofGea. Grant s aud the kindred agreements whereby the Rebel armies were surrendered and par oled, and insisting that those thus shielded mas nevertheless be arrested, tried aud pun ished as traitors! We would simply advise all who hug any such delusiou to their Aosonis that our Government manifestly has kjysiferent theory from theirs—in our view, a thousand times more upright and just. Had u bclieved the rebel military lenders subject ta prosecution tor treason notwithstanding the terms oj Geu. Grant's agreement, it would doubtless bave arrested them long ago. ihe tact that it has not seeu fit to do so should be accepted as conclusive. " But,“ says one of these quihblers, “Gen. Grant had no power to stipulate a universal amnesty.” Very well; admit it. What he did was to accept of and agree Jo a surrender on conditions—conditions , proposed by him selt. Just look them once mere in the face: 1 his [the surrender] done,•each officer and man will be allowed to return to their homes, not to be disturbed by United States authority, sp loug as .they/observe their pa role and the laws iu •force where they re side.” • Can there be any doubt as to the proper force and meaning of these words ? It you can conceive any, just look at this passage in Geu. Grants letter to Geu. Lee, just prior to the surrender aforesaid: “ The terms upon which peace can be had are well understood. By tbe South laying down their arms they will hasten that moat desirable event, save thousands of human lives and hundreds of millions of property not yet destroyed. ‘Sincerely hoping that all our difficulties may be settled without tbe loas of another life, I subscribe rayselt, very respectfully, your obedient servant, “ U. 8. Grant, “Lieut. Gen. U. 8. A.” '■ —Can you imagine that our government will attempt to wriggle out of the plain in tent and eueet of this language ? If you cau you only establish your own infamy, not that of our rulers. Even if they lad no regard for good faith, they would shrink from expo sing themselves to ’the execrations of the civilized world. —“But did not Geu. Graut expeed his powers ?” That cavil comes too late. It was indeed competent for the Government to disallow Gen. Grant’s convention with Gen. Lee, as It did Gen. Sherman’s first arrangement with Johnston. Rut this right, so far as it existed, must be exercised (as it was in the Sherman- Johnston case) on the instant, or not at all. Having virtually accepted and approved.— Gen. Grant’s terms ol capitulation, by accept ing the fruits thereof, our Government was nevermore at liberty to repudiate that agree ment, or any part of it. It became its owu act, in every respect and particular, as fully as if it had been originally proposed by tbe President aud agreed ou in a meeting of the- '• Cabinet. We do not sup|fcse there is any dissent or demur among intelligent persons to what we have here stated. We know no journal of any character that disputes them, though several may have seemed to do so, while pandering to ignorance and popular passion. And we most respectfully counsel the Euro pean irieuds (not the enemies) of our Nation al cause not to distress themselves with ap prehensions of auy wholesale butchery of the discomfited Rebels under tbe authority of our Government. There was danger, for a moment, that the just and general indigna tion aroused by President Lincoln’s assas sination would drive his* successor into a course which would, in calmer hours, be deeply regretted ;*but the gust of passion has spent its force, and the peril it evoked has passed away forever. The Cotton and Labor Question in|9lpeon A letter to the Hon. Simeon Draper, Col lector of the port of New York, from a prom inent merchant at Macon, Georgia, dated July 14, says: /‘The war is over. We have fought you with all the powers that God and nature gave u*a. We are beaten, overpowered, and wil ling to return under the old flag of the Union. I for one, and 1 believe a very large majority of' the citizens, are desirous of having our good old State brought back into the Union, and civil government restored as speedily as possible. And there is nothing, in my opin ion, that will so soon sooth" the irritated feelings of our people, and heal the wide breach between the North and the South, as the restoration of trade and commerce as speedily as possible. “1 have just returned from a journey of some GO miles down one side our river, and up the other, and was very glad to find that but lew fields were abandoned on account of the emancipation of the negroes—compara tively btt few negroes were absent from their former owners ; in that case their places weresupplied by white laborers just relieved from the army. Avery large number of ne groes aftfr the emancipation order was pro mulgated did leave their homes, and having visited our city, and ‘seen thg elephant,’ have ’ returned, and when allowed to stay have gone to work. In most cases the former owners have stipulated with the negroes to give them either wages of a. portion of tim crop. *'■* “In all my journeys through the thousands of acres of rich cultivated lands on both sides of the river 1 saw but very little land in cot ton culture, but I believe that in another season it we are let alone, and not tramtneled w ith government restrictions of master and servant, letting each adapt itself to the new order of. things, and regulating itself, and with wholesome State laws to restrain the negro to his labor, and the master to pay the • laborer his dues, in that case, notwithstand ing the* depressed feeling oi our planters, we will make nearly hail of oui usual crop of cotton.” ... i+'j - •
