£Jif fa ©raitjp fteporto. From the Louisville Sunday journal j Bill Arf» Addresses Artemus Ward. Rome, Ga., Sept. 1, 1865. Jtfrt. Artemus Ward, Showman, Sur:r- The reesun I write to you in pertikler, aire bekaus you are about the only man iu all “God’s country” so-called. For Sum sev eral weeks I Lave been wantiu tu say sum- thin. For sum several years we rebs, so- called,but now late of said county deceas ed, have been Iryin mity hard to do sura- thin. We didn’t quite do it, and now its very painful, I assure you, to dry up ail of a sudden and make out like we wasn’t thar. My frend, I want to say sumthin. 1 suppose there is no law agin thinkiu, but thinkin don’t help me. It don’t let down my thermometer. I must explode myself generally so as to feel better. You sec I’m tryin to harmonize. I’m tryin to soft en down my feelins. I’m endeavoring to subjugate myself to the level of surround- in circumstances, so-called. But I can’t do it until I am allowed to say sumthin. I want to quarrel with somebody and then make friends. I aint no giant-killer. I aint no Norwcgun bar. Iaintnoboar- constriktcr, but I’ll be hornswaggled if the talkin and the writin and the slander- in has got to be all done on one side any longer. Sum of your folks have got to dry up or turn our folkes loose. It’s a> blamed outrage, so-called. Aint your edi tors got nutliiu else to do but to peck at us, and squib at us, and crow over us?— Is every man what kan write a paragraf to consider us as bars in a cage, and be always a jobin at us to hear us growl ?— Now you see, my fiend, that’s what’s dis harmonious, and do you jest tell cm, one all, c pluribus unurn, so■called, that if they don’t stop it at once or turn us loose to say whaf we please, why we vcbn,so-called, have unanimously and jointly and sever ally resolved to—to—to—think very hard of it—if not harder. Tliat’&tjie way to talk it. I aint agwinc to commit myself. I know when to put on the brakes, ij aint agwinc to say all I think like Mr. Ethridge, or Mr. Adder rig, so-called. Na ry time. No, sir. But i’ll just tell you, Artemus, and you may tell it to your show: If we aint allowed to express our senti ments, we can take it out in hatin', and hatin runs heavy in my family, sure. 1 hated a man so bad once that all the hair cum off my head, and the man drowned himself in a hog-waller that night. 1 kould do it agin, but you sec I’m tryin to harmonize, to acquiesce, to bekum kalm and screen. Now I suppose poetikally speakin, “In dixie's fall We sinned all.” But talkin tho way I sco it, a big fellow and a little fellow, so-called, got into a fite, and they fout and lout a long time, and everybody all round kept holleriu hands off, but kop helpin the big feller, until finally the little feller caved in and holler ed enuf. lie made a bully fite I tell you Solah. Well, what did he the big feller do? take him by the hand and help him op, and brush the dirt off’his clothes?— Nary time 1 No, surl But lie kicked him arter he was down, and throwed mud on him, aud drug him abqpt and rubbed sand in his eyes, and now lie’s gwine about huntiu up his little property. Wants to confiskate it, so-called. Blame my jaket if it aiut enuf to make your head swim. But I'm a good Union man—so-called.— /aint agwinc to fite no more, j shan’t vote for tho next war. I aint nogurrilla. I’ve done tuk the oath, and I’m gwine to keep it, but as for my bcin subjugated, and humiliated, and amalgatcd, aud ener vated, as Mr. Chase says, it aint s*»—nary time. I aint ashamed of nutliiu neither— aint repentin—aiut axin for no one-horse, short-winded pardon. Nobody needn’t be playin priest arount me. 1 aint got no twenty thousand efoliars. Wish 1 had; I’d give it to these poor widers andorfins. I’d fatten my own numerous and interest- in offspring in about two minits and a half. Shouldeut cat roots and drink branch water no longer. Poor, unfortu nate things! tqcurn into this subloonary world at such a time. There’s four or five of ’em that never saw a sirkus nor a monkey show—never had a pocket knife nor a piece of cheese, nor a recsin.— There is Bull Bun Arp, and ITarper's Fer ry Arp, Uhikahominy Arp that never seed the pikters in a spellin book. I tell you my friend, we are the poorest people on the face of the earth, but'we are poor and proud. We made a bully tite, Solah! and the whole Amerikin nation ought to feci proud of it. It shows what Amcrikins can do when they think they are imposed on —"iXhcaUedl Didn’t onr four fathers fite; bleed, and die about a little tax on tea", wbeu pot one in a thousand druuk it? Bekaus they sukseeded wasent it glory? But if they hadent I suppose it would have been treason, and they would have been bowin and scrapiu round King . George for pardon. So it goes, Artemus, and to my mind, if tho wholo thing was stewed down it wcffild make about a half pint of humbug. We had good men, great men, Christian men who thought wo was right, aud many of ’em have gone to tho undi8kovcrcd country, and have got a pardon as is a pardon. When I die I’m mity willin to risk myself under the shadow of their wings, whether the cli mate be hot or cold. So mote it bo. Se- lah! Well, may be I’ve said enuf. But I dont feel easy yit. I’m a good Union man. sertin and share. I’ve had my breeches died blue, and I’ve bot a blue bucket, and. I very often feel blue, and about twice iu a wtyle I goto the dod gery and git blue, and then I look up at the blue scrulean heavens and sing the melankolly choryus of the R/uc-tailed Flv I m dom my durndest to harmonize, and think I could sucseed if it wasent for sum things. When I see a black guard goin around the streets with a gun on his shoulder, why right then, for a few min- ita, I hate the whole Yanky nation. Je rusalem, how my blood biles. The insti tution what was handed down to us by the heavenly kingdom of Massachusetts bow put over us with powder and ball!— Harmonize . the devil! Ain’t we human beings? Ain’t we got eyes and ears and fechn and thinkin? Why the whole of Afnky has come tQ town, women and and babies and baboons and all. A man can tell bow fur it is to the city by the smell better than the mile post. They wont work for us, and they wont work for themselves, and they’ll perish to death this winter as shore as the devil is a hog, so- called. They are now baskin in tha sum mer’s sun, livin on roastin-ears and free dom, with nary idee that the winter will cum agin, or that castor oil aud salts costs money. Sum of ’em, a hundred years old, are within around about goin to kawlidge. The truth is, my frend sum- body’s badly fooled about this bizness.— Sum body Las drawd the dlefant in the lottery, and don’t know what to do with him. He’s jest throwin his snout about loose, aud by and by ne’l hurt somebody. These niggers will have to go back to the plantations and work. I aint agoin to support nary one of ’em, and wIipd you hoar anybody say so, you tell ’em “ its a lie,” so-called. I golly, I ain’t got nuth- in to support myself on. We fout our selves out of everything exceptin children and land, and I suppose the land are to be turned over to the niggers for grave yards. Well, my frend, I dont wan’t much. I aint ambitious,.as I used to was. You all have got your shows and monkeys and sirkusses and brass bands andorgins and can play on the petrolynm and the harp of a thousand strings, and so on, but I’ve only got one favor to ax of you. I want enuf powder to kill a big yaller stump tail dog that prowls round my premises at night. Ton honor, I .wout shoot at anything bine or black or mul- lattcr. Will you send it? Are you and your foaks so skccrcd of me and my foaks that you wont let us have any ainynishun? Are the squirrels and crows and black rakoons to eat up our poor little corn patches? Arc the wild turkeys to gob ble all around us with impunity? If a mad dog takes the hiderfoby is the whole community to run itself to death to get out of the way ? I golly ! It looks like your pepul had all tuk the rcbelfoby for good, and was never gwine to get over it. See here, my frend, you must send me a little powder and a ticket to your show, and me and you will harmonize ser- tin. With these few remarks I think I feel better, and hope I liairit made nobody fitin mad, for I’m not on that line at this time. I am truly your friend—all pres ent or accounted for, BILL ARP, so-called. P. S. Old man Harris wanted to buy my fiddle the other day with Confedrik money, lie sed it would be good agin.— lie says that Jim Funderbuk told him, that Warren’s Jack seed a man who had jest cum trom Virgnny, and he sod a man told his cousin Mandy that Lee had whip- cd ’em agin. Old Harris say-s a feller by the name of Mack. C. Million is coming over with a million of men. But never theless, notwithstandin, somehow or some how els., I'm dubus about the money. If you was me Artemus, would you make the fiddle trade ? ' B. A. Gen Meagher on the Treatment of tlie South. In a speech recently delivered in St Paul, Minnesota, by Gen. T. F. Meagher, be discoursed in the following strain npon the motives which shoold actuate the North in the present state of affairs and the manner in which the South shoul4 be treated^ r * * * * The next question suggested by the events of the day, and the new condition in which the Southern States find them selves is in relation to the terms and dis position which the people of the loyal States should extend to the former, and the good will and friendship they should manifest toward those whose manly ac ceptance of what they consider to be their adverse fate, entitles them to the re spect and consideration of their.more for tunate rivals in the field. The answer to this question is already set forth in the conditions of the surrender at Appomat tox Courthouse. It becomes the people of the North, and it seems to me to be a sacred obligatiou with them, to treat the people of the South with an honorable propriety and a’ gallant generosity. A policy or bearing other than that indicat ed in tlie military surrender, will counter act the success of onr arms, keep the wounds of the South inflamed, produce an irreparable alienatipu and overshadow with opprobium the laurels of the North. Defeated as the South has been in its great scheme to install another govern ment and nationality on this continent, and win the royalty of Mississippi—hav ing fought in the teeth of the most crush ing odds and disabilities with a soldier ship that establishes them ir history as tho most masterly revolutionists of any age or country—now that this dazzling project has been defeated and the National Government resumes its sway with a weightier authority than ever it held be fore, and an admitted superiority over the oldest and grandest powers it should be the aim and object of the people of the North and West so to conduc: themselves in their social and political relations with the South, that the latter r even in tlie hour of their capitulation, aid amid the havoc that has swept their fields and cit ies, shall be induced to ente'tain,one re gret only—and that the man y and gen erous regret that they ever struck a blow against the United States aud coveted tlie humiliation of onr flag. Interesting to State Tax Collectors. The CiJniptroller General has issued the following circular to State Tax Collectors who owe in arrears for Taxes: Comptroller General’s Office Millcdgeville, Aug. 10, 1805. To tuf. Tax Collector of County: Sir:—Your account is still standing open and is unsettled on the books in this office. Since the arrest of*Cov. Brown the treasurer and myself have not thought proper to proceed further in making col lections, up to this time. But since the proclamation of our provisional governor directing the civil officers in the State to qualify and to perforin certain duties, I have concluded to address you this circu lar, and say to you, that, while you will not proceed, until further orders from this office, to collect any more tax from tax payers in this State, yet as soon as yon can do so after receiving this, yon will send to the State treasurer all tne money you have collected, after deducting the receivers and collectors commissions, and accompany the same with an affidavit, as follows; I, Tax Collector of county for the year 1864, do solemnly swear that tho money I now send to the State treas urer at Millcdgeville, amounting to dollars cents, is all the money I have collected from tax-payers of said county, after deducting the commissions of tax receiver and tax collector after de ducting dollars cents, that I have heretofore paid into the State treasury for the year 1864.— And I do further swear, that the money I now send is of the same character that I collected from the tax-payers of this comi ty and that I have not exchanged with any one State treasury notes for Confed erate treasury notes, except for the pur pose of making the usual change with tax payers iu the payment of their taxes. Sworn to aud subscribed before me this ck^y of 1S65. Tho laws of this State did not and do not authorize a Tax Collector to swap off State notes for Confederate treasury notes or other notes, and as intimations have been thrown out that some Tax Collectors may have done this, it is deemed necessa ry aud proper for you to clear yourself from this supposition by making this affi davit, and sending.it along with the mon ey you send to the State Treasurer. As it may be rather expensive for you to come to Milledgeville at this time, to bring this money and affidavit, I would suggest that if a convenient Opportunity for sending it does uot present itsftlf be fore your delegates come to the conven tion, you will be sure to send the same in October by one of the members of '.he Convention from your county. Very Respectfully, &c., PETERSON THWEATT Comptroller General. The Georgia Railroad.—The Constitu tionalist saysr We learn that the gross income of this road for the month of Au- gusfc was over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. ,We also learn that a Yonge, superintendent, ten- ered his resignation yesterday to take effect on the first of October, and Mr.E. V..KU?’ superintendent of the N.ahTiUe '& Chattanooga railroad »aa elected to the position. I Production of Sex. Every few years the attention of men of science is called to some new explana tion of the difference in the sexes. Among the latest is one advanced by Mr. DeFer- rendi, in a late number of the Scientific American: For several years I have been in pos session of this knowledge, and being a Frenchman, I had intended to communi cate it to the Academy of Sciences at Par is; but illness has prevented ray return to France. Fearing that my secret may perish with me, as in the case of Segato, I have decided to publish it for tlie bene fit of all civilized people. Experience has shown that tho theory heretofore prevailing in regard to the production of the sexes is false, and that this which I submit is the only true oue. It is the male who engenders the Sub stance destined already to lie of the mas culine sex or the feminine, before the fe males receive it. The right side apparat us engenders thd-male, the left the fe male. By operating a partial castration therefore, of the male, it is easy for stock breeders to procure offspring all of either sex. At La Ilotte, near Fort Liberty, in Uayti, this process has been in operation for several years, and for twelve years that I have watched the result it has nev er failed. Opinion of tlie Attorney General. Attorney General’s Office, ) August 12, 1865. ’ } To the lion..Thigh McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury: Sir:—I have the honor to say, in reply to your letter of the 7th inst., that in my opinion* if the two persons to whom you refer as having resigned commissions in the naval service^of the United States, and accepted employment in tlie rebel naval service were born in the United States, are, if otherwise qualified, competent ac cording to the act of June 28, 1864, to be officers of vessels of the United Slates. If they were citizens before they en gaged in rebellion, they did not lose their citizenship by becoming traitors. They became liable to suffer the pains and pen alties which the law inflicts upon convict ed traitors, but I am not aware that for feiture of citizenship is one of those pains and penalties. Belonging as they do, according to the statement in your letter, to certain class es of traitors who have not been pardon ed by the President, they are liable at any time to be tried, convicted and pun ished for their treason. Their conduct and associations also impressed upon them the qualified character of enemies, but did not destroy their inherentjcharacter as citi zens which, by birth or otherwise, they acquired. Very respectfully, your’obedi- ent servant. James Speed, Attorney General. Shipment South of Guns, Pistols and Am munition still Restricted.— Ufashington Sept. 2.—The Secretary of the Treasury to-day promulgated the President’s procla mation of the 29th ult., for the informa tion and guidance of the officers of the Treasury department, and says: “In conformity with-the terms, the ar ticles heretofore regarded as prohibited may be transported to places in States heretofore declared in insurrection with out any restriction, except on guns, pis tols and ammumtion. Applications for the shipment of these should be made in writing to the proper officers of the cus toms who will forward them to the De- partment for its decision, accompanied with such recommendations as they may be disposed to make.
