bur relations with England ami other countries
Rre becoming Romowlmt eomplioatai1, and tho
indications are that there in a growing " Unpleas
antness" between tho United StateH and the
British Government*. Grant is looking toward*
Cuba with a rapacious eye—determined, it is
ntnted, to recognize tho government of the
robots. Tho Alabama claims are tho points of
dispute with England. It is charged by tho
United States authorities that tho Confederate
«war-oruiser was built in a British port, by British
ship carpenters, manned by British sailors, and
left a British port under British colors to destroy
American commerce. For this the United States
has demanded reparation. Tho American min
ister, Hon. Roverdy Johnson, having outorod
into a treaty with Lord Clarendon on the part
of the English government, they have agreed
to submit all claims existing between tho two
governments to an arbitration of friendly powers.
The Federal govemmont at Washington lias
refused to ratify or agree to the treaty made and
demands that tho British government shall not
only moke reparation, but shall apologize for
having recognized the Confederate government
as a belligeront power. This the British govern
ment will refuse to do when tho demand is
formally made, and war may follow.
While tho people of tho South would deplore
such a war, as affecting the interests and pros
perity of tho country, they can fool no particu
lar sympathy in any movement in bringing it
on. They would hardly feel disposed to fight
England for having shown them some degree of
friendship during the struggle with their North*
•«m enemies. Indeed, they will naturally sym
pathise with the English government in such a
•contest, though, perhaps, not sufficiently to
beoomo active. That expeditions might be
inaugurated in the Southern States in the inter
ests of tho British government, wo think, there
•can bo no question. To say the least, it is not
probable that the Southern people would bo
vory active in bobalf of a government which has
resorted to every strategem to oppress them.—
# So, if tho fight comes, it must bo the fight of
\the Northern people, based upon the proposi
tion of retaliation for English sympathy for the
• South during tho late war between tho States.
It is very right and proper that the United
States government should act with its ' eyos
open so far as any co-operation from the
Southern States are concerned, unless tho negroes
may be depended on for levies of men.
Tho policy of the Federal Government towards
■ the South has not been such as to win the coufi-
•’denco and love of the people. Its power has
been so controlled as to make it oppressive and
repulsive—to bo despised and feared rather than
■ loved and respected. Instead of having sought
?to conciliate and regain Southern confidence,
'those who control the government have made
it a machine of torture. Had the government
been administered otherwise, by giving full and
•complete protection to the rights of the people
of the South, all apathy engendered by the war
would have been extinguished, and a united peo
ple would have been the result—defying all
resistance to any just and reasonable demand
•made on foreign powers. But such has been
* the policy of the General Government that its
\P°wer is weakened when it should have been
strengthened.
For the foregoing reasons, combined with the
deranged state of the public credit at homo,
with the paper of the government greatly depre-
• crated. it is bad poliey for it to take more trouble
Upon its hands than it can well avoid. Besides,
the conditions of the Johnson-Clarendon treaty
Are just and reasonable and should be acceded to
Without delay. Suppose England did recog
nize the Confederate States as belligerents; did
not the United .States do the same in treating
-with the government.of these States in regard
to exchange of prisoners of war and tho various
other ackdowledgments of their belligerent
rights ? If the United States so recognized the
Confederate States; why should England be held
to so rigid an accountability as to be called
upon to apologise for having done the same.
It is decidedly the policy forithe people that tho
difficulty between England and *he United
States should be settled according to the plan
of the Johnson-Clarendon proposition. It, per
haps, may be the policy of the party in power to
provoke a war in order to hide its shameful man
agement uf .the affairs.of the General Govern-
; ment, *>r to afford its votaries another clrance to
grow rich by robbing the people. It may bo
tho purpose of the party iu power to get rid of
its complicated work of reconstruction in the
; Southern States by leaving it in abeyance to
attend to the moro pressing affairs of war—hop-
ing, it may bo, that the j)eoj>lo wifi become moro
tunited in the struggle.
jliSt the Northern leaders bo told that the
Southern people feel no active interest in the
proposed war, except as a chance to escape
present, oppression may present itself. They
will hardly fight England for having befriended
.then*. They would prefer a restoration of the
'.TJoion fist upon the basis of the equality of tho
States and the restoration, also, of the reserved
rights of tho States. This restoration effected,
the Southern peoplo would doubtless prove
.-their .allegiance to the government that gives
.them full and complete protection in all that
•pertains to the rights of true American citizens.
In a war with England the power and strength
of the South is not to bo despised by tho Gen
eral Government. The true statesmen, for the
post four years, would have been earnestly en
gaged in trying to conciliate public opinion in
‘ these States. policy -would hav« steength-
.eueff the .Government and not weakened it. No
Government upon the earth has ever had so fine
an opportunity for displaying a magnanimous
spirit to greater advantage at home or abrood,
had it confined its aim within the original com
pass of waging the late war for the Restoration
of the Unio* with all tha rights of tho Stutcs
.unimpaired,

The W»y to Kill a City or Town.
There arc many causos, when combinod, which
will kill auy city or towu. Tho first requisites
for tho prosporlty of A city or a town aro enter-
prise and public spirit. Without theso no place
can prosper. When ihd business of a city or
town is controlled by naitow-miudeit or ignor
ant men, Is suro to go to decay and ttlin. -
Greedy landlords do much for the destruction of
tho prosperity of a community. Not satiHliod
with fiiir and reasonable routs, they seek to
gougo tenants by demanding tho highest prices
for stores and tenements. Capitalists, ablo to
build houses, refuse to erect cheap tenements
for mechanics and laborers, without whom no
placo can thrive. Mechanics and artisans
tho chief elements which give thrift to a city or
a towu and build up its trado and commerce.—
High rents and want of suitable tonomeuta keep
away many from cities and toans who would
seek thorn to ply their various vocations. The
spirit of Shylook has killed many a towu that
might have been thrifty and prosperous.
Tho groat lover that gives respectability to a
towu of preteusious is a well-oouducted local
press. It iR tbo defender and advwato of every
interest of the community in which it is publish
ed. But, vet how often do we see the pross uog-
locted and permitted to eko out a bare oxistonoo
—its conductors living out a miserable, unrequit
ed life because tho business men and mer
chants aro too illiberal and narrow-sighted to
sustain it. Tliore is no profession or trade to
aro moro in-
which tho people of a community
debtod for tho position it enjoys at homo and
abroad than to the newspaper mau, whoso overy
effort and aspiration is to give life and vitality
to every interest of tho community, and yet ho
is tho most illiberally repaid for his labors, bis
anxieties and bis cares. These aro facts not to
be disputed. No one will dispute it. Tho local
press gives tone to a community. It is its spokes
man—tho ever-spoaking tongue—ready, at all
times, to advocate the highest interests of the
community. Tho local press, conducted in such
a spirit, deserves to bo sustained, and tho man
ner in which it is sustained indicates the charac
ter and enterprise of the community in which
it is published. If the people are enterprising
its advertising columns will indicate it. “ Show
me j’our city press,” said ono of the great men
of the past, “and I will tell you by their adver
tising columns whether your city is a prosperous
one or not.” By “ advertising," said another,
“I havo made a fortune,” and this has boon
echoed by scores of business men all over the
country, and is being re-echoed every day from
Maine to California. “Let not your city presses
languish for want of liberal advertising patron
age”—said ono on an occasion of groat mone
tary pressure—“for you cannot prosper and
maintain the influence which you havo already
acquired, without their eo-operation and aid.”
Let landlords “Sliylock” tenants, and money
ed men refuse to build suitable tenements for
the accommodation of tho houseless, but useful
mechanics and artists; let the business commu
nity refuse to liberally sustain tho local pross, in
doing which their own personal interests are
greatly enhanced: wc say let them do those, and
it will kill any city or town in the Union.
The Illinois Press Convention and Mobile.
The Press Convention of Illinois, while in ses
sion, has token an excursion down to Mobile,
where they arrived on Saturday night last, and
where they have been magnificently entertained
by the hospitable people of the “Magnolia
City." At the invitation of the conductors of
the Register, the visiting editors supplied brother
Forsyth editorial matter enough for several days.
The first day’s supply wo havo read before writ
ing this article, and filled four long columns of
that paper.
From tho articles thus published in tho Regis
ter, tho Illinois editors were well pleased with
their visit, and we aro inclined to believe that
great good will bo the result of that editorial ex
cursion. It has afforded tho moulders and di
rectors of public opinion iu tho great prario State
of the West on opportunity of seeing a portion
of tbo Southern people “ at homo,” where they
had a chance to sco them in their true character,
and to judge them as they ore—a people only
wishing to be let alone iu their efforts to regain
lost wealth and prosperity. If, after haring en
joyed tho lavish hospitality of Mobile, and see
ing, with their own eyes, the true temper of the
Southern people ns reflected by tho citizens of
Mobile, they can return homo to misrepresent
and slander ns, they will greatly belio the senti
ments expressed by them in tho Register.
But, we are charitable and hopeful enough to
believe .that they will not do so vile a thing, but
will go home with new ideas of the South and
the people of this sonny land, and will reflect
these jdet>.s oyer the whole of the Western States,
the peoplo of which are naturally allied to the
Southern people in the bonds of mutual interest
and general prosperity. Indeed, wo rejoice that
the Illinois pross have made the visit to the
State of Alabama, the fair daughter of old Geor
gia, where they have seen tho noble bearing of
generous even anil the grace and beauty of peer-
leas worn cm
Excursions .of this tort .between the editors of
the North and South would have tho tendency
to do much good in the restoration of national
and fraternal feeling between th.e people of the
two sections, If .they kuew each other better,
tho peoplo would know more of each other; and
sectional prejudice .would, in a measure, give
way to better—even generous—feelings. It Is to
bo hoped that this is but the auspicious begin
ning of a new ora of good feeling between the
West and South.
Religious Fanaticism*
Tho Forbearance or the Southern People.
Wo venture tho assertion that llbi a peoplo can
bo found upon the fttctf or tlio globe who have
exhibited grantor Ibrbearauro than the Southern
peoplo ItaVd towards tho “birds of evil onion,”
rtntiVo and imported, who havo hovered over tho
land, swooping down at every point, and gath
ered up the substanco of the peoplo to line thoir
own foul nests with. Proclaiming sentiments
and performing nets at war with evory interest
of our impoverished country, these political hnr-
znrds have bcou permitted to ply their vocation
without molestation and without harm. We
havo allowed thorn to orow and domineer over
ns long enough. We are nntmo to manhood
and to oar fkmiUos if we longer permit these
carrion crows to befoul the land with their vilo
puking and poisonous stench. It is time that fho
peoplo of Georgia had concluded to let theso crea
tures know thoir true position in the estimation
of tho pnblto; and it is time that all decent
belonging to tho Radical party, who havo beeu do-
coirod by it* teachings and preteusious, had quit
tho infamous organization and aligned them
selves with tho decent, people of tho country. —
There are clever men belonging to tho Republi
can party, and they ought to see that it is now
time for them to save themselves and their fam
ilies from disgrace. Wo extend to all such tho
helping hand. Como out from among tho foul
birds!

There is, perhaps, as much fanaticism in re
gion as there is upon many other questions.
Indeed, ultraism on religious subjeota has grown
to such an extent, and so divided the followers
of the “lowly Jesus” by tho multiplicity of
sects and confused doctrines, that tho subject is
becoming more and more cue of ridicule, and
these divisions are only calculated to «o«/uso
the world and retard tho progress of religion
and piety. Now we hear of a new sect of tho
fanatical order. An exchange says:
“ A curious religious movement has been tak
ing place among the fishers of Aberdeen, par
taking of the most exciting physical manifesta
tions. Strong men are prostrated. They sco
visions, and behold their departed relatives in
heaven.*
The “physical manifestations” of the. Aber
deen fishers aro “ nothing new under the sun."
Scenes of the kind described have often been
witnessed in all parts of this country. It is
really nothing uncommon. The ignorant and
superstitious negro is more susceptible of theso
“physical manifestations” than tho whites,
although whites sometimes pormit thomselves to
bo overcome with undue excitement and wnko
the temple of the Lord a place of tho wildest
fanaticism. Scones of tho character above de
scribed might havo been witnessed in this town
last summer at the Radical Methodist Church,
as we aro informed.
“Order is the first law of heaven.” Ordor
and reverence in the worship of the Almighty
should be as near upon earth as possible what it
is in heaven. Wo should “ worship the Lord in
tho beauty of holiness” and not as crazy fanat-
ios, professing to “see visions” and to behold
things not earthly. There is no communion
between the flesh of the world and the sancti
fied and disembodied spirits of the blessed.
Tho “exciting physical manifestations” of tho
fishers of Aberdeen arc but the results of a high
and exciting religious fanaticism upon their ig
norant minds. We should think Aberdeen a
good field for missionary work.
and direst enemies to livo among them unmo
lested. There can be no better evidence of that
forbearance than that such mon as Bullock,
Blodgett, Blount, Caldwell, Alpcoria Bradley,
Tumor, Rwayao, Furrow and others, are not
harmed in thoir persons. If those men had
lived in Northorn States, and hud so outraged
public Bontimonts, public decency, publio inter
ests, ns they have in Georgia, some of them
would have perished by tbo hand of the assassin
long ngo. In fact, they would not havo dared
suoh a course elsewhere. They havo presumed
upon our forbearance until forbearance has
nearly ceased to bo a virtu©—until it is a mira
clo that they really exist.
But let our people continue to exercise the
spirit of forbearance; let no one imbue his hands
in the foul blood of thoso creatures; let ns have
peace; let us quietly look on—for wo see that
they ore cutting each othors’ throats or knocking
out each othors’ brains. They are onrsing and
damning each other more violently than we can
do it for them. They are having a regular cat
tight among themselves. They will destroy
each other. Let them prooeed with all tbehasto
consistent with tho dignity of the business,
which is no concern of ours. The bigger th<
fight with them, tho bigger the feast of the
devil, and ho must be fed.
By our pationce and forbearance, wo havo per
mitted the Radical party to become exhausted
with its own corruption and rascality.

Maj. J. R. Barrick.—This gentleman, the

truo gentleman, and a gentleman by nature, ho
adorns tho editorial profession; and, in becom
ing a citizen of Georgia, by the fortunes of war
which drifted him from Kentucky to our noble
old State, he is on accession to tho intellect and
worth of our people. By a notice of Col. How
ard’s withdrawal from tho Cimstifution os tempo

fer that Maj. Banick's health lias improved and

may sec the extent of bis slanderous detractions
