“3 veet land of Liberty, of tfcec I ring.”
Jfot -ttucb I dont, not at this tune. If
there's anything sweet about liberty in
this!p!aH of the vineyard, I can’t see it.—-
The land’s good enuf and I.would’nt mind
hearin a byme or two about the dirt I live
on, but as for findin sugar and liberty in
Georgy soil, its all a mistake. Ilowsum-
cver, I’m hopeful. I’m much calmer and
aerecncr than I was a few months ago. I
begin to feel kindly towards ail people
exsept some. I’m now endcavorin to be
ft great national man. I’ve taken up a
znottoo of No North, no South, no East, no
West; but let me tell you my friend, I’ll
bet on dixie as long as I’ve got a dollar.
Its no harm to run both skedulco. In
fakt its highly harmonious to do so. I’m
a good Union reb, and my battle cry are
I)ixie and the Union.
Hut you sec my friend, we are geltin
restless about some tilings. The war had
bekurn oaity heavy on us, and after the
big collapse, we thought it was over for
good. We had killed folks until the nov
elty of the thing had wore off, aud we
were mity nigh played out all over.—
Children were increasin and vittels dimin-
ishin. By a close calculaslmn it was pnr-
sceved that we didn’t kill our enemies as
fast as they were imported, and about
those times I thought it was a pity that
some miraklc of grace liad’nt cut off the
breed of furreners some 18 or 20 years
Ago, Thru you would have seed a fair
fight. Gen. Sherman would’t have walk
ed over the track, and L lyses would have
killed, more men than lie did—of his oun
sidc< I hav always thot’ that a General
ought to be pertikler which side he was
eacrifiain.
Well, if tlio war is over, whats llic use
of fillin np our towns and cities with sol
diers any longer. Where’s your rekon-
Btruktion that the papers say is goin on
so rapidly? Where’s the liberty and
freedom? The fakt is, General Sherman
and his catcrpillers made such u clean j
sweep of everything, I don’t see much to I Sunnier and Phillips,
fckonstruckt. They took so many liber-1 kin nint no kin to me.
ties around here that thcrcs nary liberty
left. 1 could have rekonstruckted a llious-
sand sich States before this. Any body
could. There was’nt nutliin to do but
jest to go off and let us alone. We’ve
got plenty of Statesmen—plenty of men
for Governor. Joe Brown aint dead.—
Then what’s the soldiers here lor—what
good are they doin—who wants to see
W any longer. Everybody is tired of
the war and we don’t want to see any
more signs of it. The niggers don’t want
'em aud the white men don't want ’em,
and as foi Uic i „,..t
ly 1 Well, there’s no use talkin—when
the stars fall agin may be the wimen
will bo harmonized. That male business
—that oath about gittin letters! Gee-ti
ger! They always was jealous about |
the males anyhow, and that order jest j
**-oko the camel’s back, ^ i‘II I must ,
confess chut it was a powerful small con- j
corn. I would try to softer smooth it
* khoy’cd what to say, but 1 don't.
If they was afc*ercd of the wimen why \
tlid’nt they say so? if they was’nt, what 1
do they make ’em swear for, Jest to ag
gravate’em? Did’nt they know that the
best way to harmonize a man, was to
harmonize his wife first? What harm
oan the wimen do by rcceivin their letter
cia«, They can’t vote, nor they can’t
preach, nor hold cius, nor piuy soldier
nor muster, nor wear breeches, nor ride
straddle, nor cuss, nor chaw tcrbacco, nor
do nothin hardly but talk and rite letters.
I beam that a valant kernel made a wo
man put up her fan bekause it had a pik-
tcr of Borygard ’pon it. Well she’s har
monized, I Beckon. Now the trouble of
all sich is that alter these bayoncis leave !satisfaction. Until
here and go home, these peticoat tyrant* | took up for us, you
before I’d beg / ’em for grace. Whar’fi
Sokrastcs, whar’s Cato? But if Andy
holds his own, the country’s safe, provide
ed these general assembles and si nods,
and Bishop’s conventions will keep the'
devil and Brownlow tied. Here’s a pas*'
sel of slink-hearted fellers who played to-
ry jest to dodge bnllitts or save property,
now a howlin about for offis—want gv^ry-
thiug bekau3e they was for Union, lhey
was fdr themselves, that’s all they ^ as
for, and they ain’t goin to git the offises
neither. Mr. Johnson am t got no more
respek for’em than I have. ‘ -
trade ’em off By boky, we’ll give two of
’em for one Copperhead, and ax nothin to
boot—Let ’em shiuny on their owu side,
and git over among the folks who don’t
irant us rckonstruikted. There’s them
newspaper scriblers who slip down to the
edge of Dixie every 24 hours, and peep
over at us, on tip toe. Then they run
back a puffin and blowin with a strait
coat tail, and holler out, “lie ain’t dead—
I’m just from tbar—seed his toe niove^
heard him grunt; lies goin to rise agin.
Dont withdraw the sobers, but send down
more troops immegeately.” And lieies
your Harper’s Weekly a hcadiu all sich
a gassin lies and slanders in every issue
—makin insultin pikters in every sheet—
breedin evcrlastin discord, and chawin
bigger than ever since we goot licked.—
Wish old Stonewall had cotch these Har
pers at their ferry, and we boys had
knowd they was goin to keep up this dev
ilment so long. W e’d a made baptists of
them sertin, payroll or no payroll. Uur-
raw for a brave soldier, 1 say, reb or no
reb, yank or no yank; hurraw for a man
ly foe and a generous victor—hurraw for
our side too, I golly excuse me, but sich
expressions will work their way out some
times, brakes or no brakes.
But I’m for Mr. Johnson. I’m for all
the Johnsons—its a bully name. There’s
our Governor, who aint goin at a discount,
and there’s Andy who is doing powerful
well considerin, and there’s the hero of
Sliilow—peace to his noble ashes.
And there’s Joe—my bully Joe, wouldn’t j
I walk ten miles of a lainy night to see
them hazel eyes, and feel the grip of his
soldier hand. Did’nt my rooster always
clap his wings and crow whenever he
passed our quarters? ‘Instinct told him
that he was the true prince,’ and it would
make anybody brave to be nigh iiitn. I
like all the Johnsons, even to Sam—L. G.
lie never levied on me if lie could git
round it. For 20 years me and Sam have
been workin together in the justice court.
I was an cverlastin defendant, and Sam
the Constable, but he never sold my prop
erty nor skeered Mrs. Arp. Hurraw for
the Johnsons !
Well, on the whole, there’s a heap of i
things to be thankful for. I’m thankful |
the war is over—that’s the big thing —
Then I"m thankful 1 aint a black republi-

Gentle > Qtr: I dont think you lotc fair.
I haven*expressed my laserated feelins in
pulilik but twice since the war. I dulcet j
live- 11 Chattanoogy, and I dident have no j
Ga-ett. For about three months yon \
jollied us in your paper to your entire l

and that would’nt be neither harmonious j Yon copied from Yankee papers the mean !
nor healthy. Better let the women alone. j ost of t |, cir slander, and it ' ' ' ;
Then there’s another thing I’m watiu perfectly congenial will
for. Why dont they rekoustrukt the nig
gers if they are going to? They’ve give
’em a powerful site of freedom, and dev
ilish little else. Here’s the big freedmen’s
buro, and the little buros all over the
country, and the papers are full of grand
orders,.%pd paragrafs, but I’ll bet a pos
sum that sum of ’em steals my wood this
winter or freezes to death. Freedman’s
burol freedman’s humbug I say. Jest
when the corn needed plowin the wost,
the buro rang the bell and tolled all the
niggers to town, and the farmers lost the
crops and now the freedman is gettin
cold and hungry, and wants to go back,
and there ain’t .uutiiiii for ’em to go to.—
But freedom is a big thing. Hurraw for
freedom’s buro! Sweet land of liberty, of
the I dou’t sing! But its all right. ‘
for freedom myself. No body wants anv
more slavery. If the abolisliunist had
let us *10110 we would have fixed it up all
right a long time ago, aud we can fix it.
now. The buro aint fixed it, and aint a
goiu to. I don’t know anything about it.
Our people have got a heap more fcolin
for the poor nigger than any abolisliunist.
We are as poor as Job, but I’ll bet a dol
lar wc can raise more money in Rome to
build a nigger church than they did in
Bostown. The papers say that after goin
round for 3 weeks, the Bostown Christians
raised thirty-seven dollars to build a nig
ger church in Savannah. They’ arc pow
erful in theory but devilish scace in prac
tice.
But its no use talkin. Everybody will
know by waitin who’s been fooled. Mr.
Johnson says he’s gwine to experiment,
that’s all be can do now—its all anybody
can do. Mr. Johnson’s head’s level. I’m
for him, and everybody ought to be for
him—only he’s powerful slow about some
tiffogs. I aint a worshippin him. He
never made me. I hear folks holferin hur
raw for Andy Johnson, and the papers
say, ob! he’s for cs, he’s all right, he’s our
friend. Well, sposc he is, hadu’t he ought
to be? Did yon expekt him to be a dog,
or a black republican pup. Bekause he
ain’t a bagin of its, is it necessary to be
playio bipocrit around the foot stool of
power, and btakin out like he was the the
greatest oa$a in the world, and yre was
the greatest sinners? Who’s sorry?—
Wtarts repent;!)? ’ Who loves dor ene
mies? Nobfldy .but a durned sneak. I
say let 'em hang and be hanged to ’em,
seemed to be
i your sentiments.
Well, sur, we bore it like an Injun—
Y\ e bore it silently and proud. We look
ed at our desolated land, our lonesome
chimneys, onr grave-yards where you un-
buried our dead and sunk your rille pits;
where you broke to fragments the iron
railing and took the very tomb stones to
put in your fortifications. We read your
exaltations of Northern bravery A South
ern treason, and we skoincd jon from
the bottom of onr hearts. Now when of
late an-humble individual makes bold to
bust his biler and express his sentiments
iu two brief letters, you get np like a
sanktified preacher and read him a public
lekture about harmonizin. Gentle sur, it
don’t bekurn you. When I’ve insulted
you about 2,000 times we will be even.—
1 ,u But I don’t intend to insult you at all. If
you arc an honest man and a generous j
conqueror. I ain’t after you. When yon j
make an effort to convince Harper’s Week- j
ly and the black republikins that our peo- !
pie, from Gen. Lee and Mr. Davis, down I
to the high privates, are just as good, and
brave, and honorable as they are, I’ll
harmonize with you.
But, gentle sur, haven’t yon spread
yourself too far from homo? What hav
i you been doin about harmonizin your own
1 people? Our little burnt city is fast fill-
'*'g up with your best citizens. During
tiie war yon let ’em stay, but after the
war a re all f„ rce j ] cave Like
cxi es, y are seeking refuge in Glicro-
t ‘ or ^y. and there stands your pa
per like a lampless, HghUess beacon on the
shore, and sustains the men and meas-
that made them leave. You are seein
em day aiter day desertin your State, and
yon look away off and employ your p en
in lekturin a poor stranger about harmon
izin.
Gentle Sur, shorten your sights. Be
gin to work ou yonr concerns or you’l
lose all your best society. They are wel
come here, and we’ll all stand by ’em, but
then I havo always thought that every
great State ought to hav some good man
left in it I Dont you?
Gentle Snr, tote fair.
Not yours,

ITS PUBLICATION SOON TO BE 1TEVIVED.
r I'HE undersigned ta -es pleasure in announcing
J to its old patrons ml rhe public that arrange*
inents have been nearly perf-cl'M by which the
National A vkimcvn"’ will lie revived, in a new
an nttraetivc f.*rm, am' umbm very favorable aus
pices. in the Ctty of Atlanta, (J cur gin, early in the
ensuing year.
The paper was csta'dished in 185t>, and enjoyed
a patronage an 1 populirity greatly superior to
any ol its city cotemi>oriiri<-s up to Jnnuary, 1861,
when it was diseontinu.-d in consequence of the
si-ce.-sion of Georgia from the Union. It will be
remembered as a bold ari l consistent JVational
Journal—zealously opposing Secession and Disun
ion, an-l as warmly advocating the development
of the vast and varied Resources of the South—
particularly ofGeorgia the adoption of a liberal
sy-tem of Public Schools and General Education;
an enlightened system o! Agriculture ; the promo
tion and elevation of tbe Mechanic Ai ts ; the es
tablishment of M»nufac r .ories,_and the encourage
ment of every industrial pursuit calculated to im
prove the Minds and Morals of our People and ren
der them prosperous and happy in the “ Union ot
our Fathers.”
It will be the aim of it? projector and his pres
ent- Associates to sustain, in all its leading fea
tures. the well-earned good name, independence
and Consistency of the paper, and to make it, if
possible, even more acceptable popular than
in its hilherio palmiest days. Th« paper will in
no wise belie its past proud record. It will con
tinue Union, yet thoroughly Southern in its tons
and character—proscrib ng no man who did his
duty in the troublous Past, and fearlessly, yet
courteously, opposing every measure, party or
clique whose tenets may be deemed inimical to the
peace and prosperity of the Country at large.
The interests of the Subscriber as well as those
of the Advertiser will be protected, and every effort
made to make the American a Lite and Reliable
JVeu>s. Political. Commercia and Family Journal.
The National Amkkican will lie published Daily
and Weekly in the City of Atlanta, and furnished
