VI I'ltO'I Lgeyille L y siibiu iarv to From the Macon Messenger. Sounding the Alarm. That most excellent and judicious paper, the New York Journal of Commerce, sounds a loud note of alarm in the subjoined article. It declares that there is more danger to the perpetuity of the government from the wild schejpies and reckless and headlong, course of the radical majority in Congress, than there was from the civil war itself ;"snd it suggests popular movements at once, if possible to overcome and arrest the ruinous career of the agitators The ^besident.—The responsibilities resting on Mr. Johnson are ao less heavy than those which were on Mr. Lincoln. Nor is the condition of the country more sate than it was when Mr. Lincoln been one year in the Presidential chair. This assertion may seem startling, but it is a conclusion forced upon the caretul observer by the manifest state of pur affairs. There was s common expression three years ago, “the life of the nation is in danger.’* He greatly errs who imagines that the only dangers threatening national existence are those which are visible in war. Even in the very heat of a great civil strife there may be more hope for the future than in the aspect which the po litical strife gives to a people: There is less hope of B iAm2A saving the republic if the schemes of the President's K,HT i ri ail(1 I opponent* are now successful, than there has been at 16.— 1 he House passunne ( any time since 1861. The dangers before us are outinuiug the j greater than the dangers we have passed through, be cause there was a way out of those, and there is no _ way through these which now threaten us with disso lution and destruction. It is marvelous that that there cap be men in a coun try like this so bhnd as not to see the direction in which the radical leaders are dragging the country. ,annah Daily Herald PUBLISHED BY ’ .

There is no need of drawing party lines and questioning party affiliations at such a time; the men who are for the Union are for the President. Those who are against him on the present questions are striking at “the life of the nation.** They are not traitors, for they have the right to think and to act as intelligent Americans, but they are no less enemies of their country than if they were guilty of actual trea son. Strangely enough they are the very men who, lour years ago, urged Mr. Lincoln to imprison Northern men and suppress the Northern newspapers lor opposing his policy, which opposition they de clared to be treason, and they are to-day doing vastly more harm to the President's plans and policy for the salvation of the Union than all the Democrats in the land did in four years to the policy of Mr. Lincoln, and they are doing this at a moment of critical danger, when the fortune and prosperity of the whole country- are at stake. It is beginning to be time for men who stand by Mr. Johnson to say so, whatever were their former party relations. We suggest the idea of an ex pression of the views of the city of New York without distinction of party. Let Republicans and Democrats who are patriots join in a demonstration. We of the South are mere helpless drifts upon the great maelstrom of Northern politics.

What despot ever ruled like the French Republican a—what stupid, blood-thirsty, remorseless tyranny of despotism can be compared with the Re- • publican atrocities of 17‘JS ? The Northern Republicans of I860 raise the same old clamor against “aristocrats'' and “oligarchs’* even in the Senate. See Sumner's resolution. Impatient of the slightest restraints—they drown all opposition in Congress with furious violence. They are beginning a war upon the President which, unless checked, will end in his impeachment and degradation ; and their war upon the Constitution, disguised under specious pretences of amendment, is the daily busi ness of every session. They intend to remove all resti^int upon the direct enforcement of the popular edicts of each recurring election, at the same time they are at work with all-consuming ardor to debase and degrade thoae popular edicts by corrupting the suffrage with negro votes 1 Is there a Northern man of sense and position who can view this headlong descent without alarm ? If so, we tell him his alarm, when he feels It, will come too late. Southern rights, interests and property will not much longer furnish a held of operations for this law less and irrepressible tyranny. We are fast getting too poor for the picking; and the time iacoming when the "aristocrats" and “oligarchs” of the North will be the victims I These furious shouts for universal *• liberty, equality and fraternity," echoed in the Senate by Sumner’s resolutions against “aristocrats, oligarchs and mon opolists," find their natural sequel in a war against all vested rights and all property. The Southerner was the llrst victim'to unpopular property, but will he be the last ? The statesmen and philosophers of the old world have ever held the incompatibility of universal suf frage and private property rights. Macauley limits the practical harmony between the two in this nation, only by the time when our vast public domain shall be all occupied and a large laboring claas shall feel the pinchings of inadequate compensation. We smile, in contempt, at these opinions and vati cinations, but Republicanism in America in respect to the boundless future, is but stm an experiment. We can only see, every year, increasing popular and legislative impatience of healthful limitations—in creasing contempt for all that system of cheks and balances which the Fathers deemed indispensable to the workings of the aystem—increasing p'Jij-i^r de moralization—and one all-consuming desire upqji n the part of Congress to impart a more direct and respon sive action of the government to a more debased and ignorant suffrage. He who doeB not see the danger in the distance, loses the chance of arresting it when near. Let the people who can act, awake before it be too late I More of the Disturbance In Columbus. From the Sun and Times of the 14th inst. we take the following additional particulars of the recent diffi culties between the negro troops and citizens of that place: Tlie negro soldier shot on Monday afternoon did not die, as was reported. He was struck three times in the arm, not once in the body; and on yesterday, we are told, he was getting along welL Mr. Lindsay wag captured beyond the Opelika depot by a squad of negro soldiers. Civil officers tell us that the squad were prevented from killing him by the exertions of a corporal. This same squad threatened to kill the marshal and his deputy. The negro soldiers carried Mr. Lindsay as far as Duran’s corner, where some allege ho was taken by eitizens from them. Ws, how ever, heard Lieut. Mulligan, U. 8. A., who had arrived on the Macon train that afternoon, more than once assert that, after he had obtained from Mr. Lindsay his name, be released him and told him to go on about his business, and he did so. We are confident that Mr. Lindsay will appear as soon as a fair hearing can oan be obtained. He bore quietly for aome time from the negro soldier what he never would have done from a white man.

Is hot dangerously hurt. ‘■After the confusion had all subsided, Major Warner started up the street with Mr. 1>. Adams, home. Ma jor Warner dreamed not of danger.

One ball shattered the Major’s right knee, and he instantly faU. As Mr. Adams moved off to get assistance several shots were fired at him.

The Augusta Constitutionalist in publishing it remarks: “It is scarcely necessary for ua to say that ao far aa relates to a steamer leaving Au. gusta with a cargo of negroes for Cuba, it is a down right falsehood:” “A correspondent of the Nation writes, in a letter from Macon, that he has been informed that numer ous negroes are being hired under false pretenses, and sold into slavery.
