From tho Imperialist. General Robert E. Lee* Tho Frcsldont (so-called) of tho ITtmft&BtAtos Imh just selected from amona tho thirty-five millions of tho American people. DanmR Sick les, to represent the honor, dignity, gtld power of this country at tho Capitol of tho ftiont punc tilious Nation in tho world. Tho political tramp speeches of Mr. Sickles, and his tempriitff rulo aH the South Carolina Radical RoeonHtruJMjp Tyrant—from whicli ho was so ingloriosUr de- J osod by Chief Justine Chase and rresUUpt olinson—may ouablo those, who aro acquaint® with his record in those respects, to form a uret- ty aoourato opinion of the mental qnalifloflons of our now Minister to Spain for tho impotianj post whoso delicato duties ho is called upon to discharge. Rut we propose at this time to pijs sent, as furnished by tho New York Tribuni ill ars, and by tho World and other lfw f past years, ana by tno world ami other now., York Journals recently, a brief epitome of thN; personal and public history of this notorious personage, He was born In tho city of Now York in 1821, and is consequently now in his forty-ninth year. ay At 17 years of age ho was already an actl ward politician, and is represented to have hoi an oxpert in all tho mysteries of ballot-b< stuffing in the interest of candidates who migl pay freely for such felonious services. In 1337 ho was indicted in tho Court of Sos^ sioiiH in New York city on tho chnrgo of obtain*.; } ing money and goods under falso pretenses.*- His youth aud certain political influences, hOw- •er, brought him safely out of this scrape. Iu 1839 ho wasarraignod in tho samo Court,, | and compelled to disgorge a sum of money to *' * funds ho li ono Mooro, whoso f od. had misappropriat- In December 1840 ho was indicted by tho Grand Jury and tried for tho crime of grand larceny, but was acquitted on tho plea of tho Statute of Limitations. In 1847, having boon elected to tho Legisla ture by a New York subterranean constituency, he took with him to Albany his then mistress, Fanny White, a famous courtezan, and intro duced her into tho Assembly Chamber, for which impudent and shameless act tho House passed a mblio vote of oonsure upon him. A curious in- ident revealed his connection with this disre putable woman. It seems sho resided in Mercer street, and a milk bill being due at hor bagnio, tho milkman called for payment at an early hour in tho morn ing, and whilo Sickles was asleep Fanny took tho money from his pocket and gavo it to tho servant girl to pay the bill. Tho money turned out to bo counterfeit, tho servant girl was ar rested, and all the facts were proved before tho Court. In 1852 ho was arrested for robbing tho mail- bags in tho New York city postoffiee, but tho matter was hushed up and never came to trial. In 1855, having been appointed Secretary of Legation to London, as a reward for political services of a very questionable character, Mr. Buchanan, tho thou Minister, soon found it nec essary to send him homo. In tho meantime, lie drew drafts upon tho Treasury which Mr. Guthrie, tho then Secretary, refused to liqui date. It is unnecessary to say that he come home in debt and disgrace. Having been elected to Congress by tho Roughs and Shoulder-hitters of Now York city, ho assassinated Philip Barton Ivey, one Sunday morning, for alleged criminal intimacy with his wife; and became for tho fourth time, tho occu pant of tho dock in a Criminal Court, under an indictment for murder. Ilis usual luck attend ed him, and ho was acquitted on the written confession of his wife of her adulterous perfidy. Shortly afterwards, tft tho / disgnst of his friends and enemies alike, he condoned his wife’s unpardonable offense, aud took the wo man back to his bed and board. It was behov ed, however, that lie submitted to this dire and disgusting humiliation under moral compulsion. It is said that ho had forged tho endorsement of ono Bagnioli, his father-in-law, on certain prom issory notes which had become duo at the Shoe and*Leather Bank in tho city of New Ydrk, and tljgt the alternative was tho penitentiary. The groat crisis of tli© world’s progress are sure to develop or bring forward great central characters— moil of exceptional power and go- liious—round whom not only men but events naturally group themselves. * Such an one. be yond all doubt, is the man whoso name wo havo placed at tho head of this rtrticlo. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to tho nature of tho moral responsibility which ho assumed in accepting tho command of the armies of the Confederacy, it is hardly to bo presumed that manv men, oven at tho North, are still so blinded by the bitter feelings engendorod in tho great conflict that they fail t.o discern and acknowledge tho romarkablo ability of the chieftain whoso single name and individual force so long sus tained a sinking cause. Hardly in tho gathering* clouds of the closing scenes of his militmy ca reer is tho strength and dignity of General Leo’s character obsofirod. Even those who fought afteinst him, and wo wore among them, cannot withhold from him a certain amount of respect- H Admiration. Our object at this time, however, is by no ifians to preparo a eulogy upon tho great South- fern leader and champion. In previous articles havo tried to point out tho fact that more T __ n a fow of tho representative men of tho North were silently but assuredly awakening tho truth Of the position which Tho Imperialist so boldly assumes, and it is our boliof that tho stronger and clearer minds among our Southern fellow- citizens are not wanting in a similar perception. We have therefore selected General Lee as a name sufficiently prominent to point our moral. From tho day when he surrendered to Gener al Grant and Accepted the failuro of the political enterprise for which 4io had sacrificed ro much, his position has been ono of silent and dignified acquiesenoo in tho results of tho war; but it is not to be gathered from this that ho fails to comprehend those results in all their length and breadth. It may rather he believed ho clearly 1801 ho suddenly turned lladical patriot, and proceeded to raise a brigade to preserve tho “life of the nation;” and white doing so, ob tained $11,000 from the Union Defense Commit tee. lit*, afterwards took the men’s receipts for the money to Washington, and received the amount over again, oir the allegation that ho hud paid that sum out of his own pocket. But worse than all, it is charged, and confi dently believed, that ho held criminal inter course with his wife’A mother before his mar riage with the daughter. During the last Presidential canvass, although drawing pay ns an army officer, ho engaged in the business of stump speaking in favor of tho election of the Radical candidate. Gen. Grant was elected, and Sickles has been appointed by way of reward for his political services, with a fall knowledge of Mil the fonts connected with hi famous career, Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to Madrid. • What a spectacle for the world! How can wo bear tho tho unmoving finger of scorn pointed at us from all quarters where the United States have an enemy to hiss and deride us? It will be said that there is no Rhamo left in tho land. Ami, truly, is there any left ? Perhaps tho Senate may reject this nomination, but the stain of such.a selection by the Executive of tho nation can never be removed. In commenting on tho New York Tribune's commendation of this offensive appointment, the Syracuse (N. Y.) Courier and Union says: And yet a murderer, and a villain, the New York TYumnc, in an article on his appointment, lauds him to tho skies, as “a faithful represen tative of tho men of tho United States,’’ as one “whoso social qualities befit the station,” and whoso “record which ho has made in our histo ry recommends him without further comment. With su-li unblushing impudence does the Tribune, which claims to bo the “gentlemen's and “the organ of intelligence of wspaper, the United States,” send Dan Sickles to misrep resent this country at tho Spanish Court. In early life Sickles was a trickster and a tliicf.—• Bawdy houses and their occupants wore under his especial protection, and his scandalous con duct with a notorious New York courtezan, whom he took up to Albany and introduced in the Assembly Chamber, drew down upon him a great deal of indignation, aud tho house, by a vote, passed a censure upon his impudent, act. As Secretary of Legation to London, he suc- c jedod in incurring an innumerable quantity of debts 2-nd then decamped leaving them unpaid, Key is fresh in tiiC min'iu or mi. sympathy was then witli Sickles, for tho public did not then know that he was a pra£tic<?T oi the very crime lie professed to loathe. A y. lowest kind himself, ho murdered in cold .'teoa tho man who was his confidant in crime, his fa miliar in vice, and who in turn outraged hij wife. Shortly afterwards ho took his faithful spouso back to his bed and board. As a milita ry man, ho was a blunderer, and blundered into success.

A Geoegia Rebel Giul—Shocking Impbd- dexce!—Tho Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Oaictic gives the following: At tho time when war rumors were thiekost, and before tho tripplo alliance dispatch had come to bo generally disbelieved, thero was much talk about tho probablo attitude of the Southern people in the event of a foreign war. — Fornoy, who is at any moment to let loose the dogs of war on perfidious Albion, saw in a for eign war the means of escape from rocoustruo- tion ontanglements. The South wpuld “rally round the flag,” Canada would be annexed, Cu ba ditto, aud glorious Union w:uld bo onoomore fully restorod. In other quarters a less hopeful view was taken of the sontlments of the South ern peoplo. A morning paper of yesterday, un der the caption of “Seoession not dead” p'.ih- lishes a conversation betwoeu a young lady from Georgia and a gentleman of this city, in which the former expressed the hope that this country might got into a war with England, France and Spain, that tho South would thereby gain their ■independence. On bein' asked if the South would fight against tho old flag, “We'll light with England against tho United States and get onr liberties." The Editor in concluding his comments on tho “ confident fearless tone of tho conversation says: “ The gentleman who heard the conversation has resided many years in the South, and has just returned from Geor gia, and he regards the -language of the young lady oa embodying the generwomd ruling feel ing throughout the Southern States. We may eoo by this that tho serpent is sootchod but not What terrible punishment is to be inflicted on the South for the outspoken sentiments of this “young lady from Georgia,'' os retailed by some ker-hole listonor, has not yet transpirod. Any thing short of sending tlib whole white popula tion to the Dry Tortugas in irons, should scarce ly he iu keeping with Radioal ideostrf vengeance qnpoople who still dare to express tjJiSir thoughts fu pnUif: perceives the drift of public affairs, and is con tented like thousands of others of onr best and wisest, to wait in peaceful patience for tho inov- iblo developments of tho future. Conscious that tho old public has ceased to ish the sagacious loader soes no reaons for try ing to "persuade himsolf that tho country can continue forever in its present transition state, but calmly waits for the futuro in tho attitude of a maq who will assume no responsibility for that which he cannot provent And in all this General Lee and all tnoso who imitate him, are acting well and wisely. Their courso can give offence to any, white it tends to allay those partisan prejudices which if fostered by the jeal ous watchfulness which, their too speedy return to public life would cause, might hereafter inter fere with their patriotic usefulness iu tho hotter dnvs to come. Still, in pondering tho great events in which they hav# been partakers, such men must at times bo struck with the vast difference between that when they attempted, and that which they accomplished; they attempted simply to divide the Union, and they determined the fact that a Republic was no longer possible in America; re fusing longer to be governed by tho Constitution they enabled the country and world to see that tho Constitution no longer governed anything in defending “State rights” they secured tlioab- olition of even State lines, and they may now, as they consult together over the past and tho future* nay to one another, “wo indeed failed, but a great work has boon douo nevertheless.— Let us wait.” That General Leo has no high opinion of our existing inutitutions must bo evident to r.11 who have watched his courso, nor can even tho most rabid idolater of tho caucus form of government blame him if ho refuses to shut his eyes to the hope of better things wliicli is hold out to him by the greater national strength and industrial freedom which tho empire will guarantee. We havo simply presented General Leo as a representative man, a prominent type, but thoro are others not less so, of whom wo shall speak hereafter. The Pacific Railroad. It Ih the President’s intention to tako measures for the suppression of crimoin Georgia. Ho was in conference with Secrotwy Rawlins to-day as to tho best plan to be adopted in oo-opcrnUon with tho Governor of the Htnte. If the latter, as is oxpocted, will call on tho General Govern ment for troops on the plea that the Htnte au thorities aro not capable of suppressing an al leged domestic insurrection, the Executive will then have the color of authority tdifeond Federal troops into tho fttnto.—Washington fHspalch. Wo do not understand what are the Georgia troubles that demand tho interposition of tho President and the Bonding of Government troops to that State. If Govornor Bullock, the scala wag, alleges that “domestic insurrection” exists thou Governor Bullock, the scalawag, alleges b.iuu uuiuiunuinin. viiu nuuuiwiiH, what lie knows to be false, and what President Grant knows to ho false. Thero is no domestic insurrection in Georgia; oven tho Radical organs of that State do not charge that there is one.— If Federal troops bo sent, they will bo sent for other purposes than tho suppression of domes tic insurrection. Wo read all tho principal papers of both par ties in Goorgla, and wo can say, what oven such Radical organs aR the* Now York Times say, that tho amount of crime committed in Georgia is not greater than tho amount committed among a population equally largo in any portion of tho North or West. With thooxcoption of tho mon strous amount of stealing done by tho destitute and lazy negroos, there is less crime committed in Georgia than in any Northern or Western State. Five times os largo amount is commit ted in Tennessee, ten times as large an amount in proportion in tho city of New York in a sin- glo week than in Georgia in threo months.— Yet we hear of no military commissions sent to examine tho murder cases in New York, no Fed eral troops sent to quell domestio insurrection. Govornor Bullock, in a messago to the Geor gia Legislature, said thero was an extraordinary amount of crime in that State. Tho Legisla ture, as in duty bound, made a formal call upon him for evidonoo of tho truth of his charge, but ho was dumb under tho call. And so in Louisi ana; when Governor Warmouth imputed unpun ished political outrages to certain parishes, tho Louisiana Legislature asked him to furnish tho particulars and tho testimony at his command, but not a particular or a particle of testimony was forthcoming. Undoubtedly it was oxpocted that important partisan objects can be subserved by tho sending of Federal troops in Georgia to act under tho instructions of tno infamous Gov ernor and of course wc must prosumo that they will bo sent.. Tho President may hold confer ences with Secretary Rawlins or with tho whole cabinet or with political leaders out of the cabi net. hut the conclusion will be to send tho troops for the quelling of that terrible domestic insur rection. Who has ever dreamed of events in Georgia constituting domestic insurrection ? In what caso has the administration of the civil law boon arrested in that State by armed men ? In what single case has a prisoner under arrest been insolently rescued from the custody of tho law V Georgia is a State. Sho is as much a regular State as Massachusetts. Sho was counted as a State by the. Radical Congress in the Presidential election. Why this audacious outrage of send ing a Federal army to put down a domestic in surrection that has no more real existence than the monsters seen in the delirium tremens ? We all know why?—Louisville Courier-Journal. At tho Commercial Convention, which met last week, tho Committee on the Southern Pa cific Railroad made the following report, which was traanimously adopted amid great applause: To Mr. President and Gentleman of the Conven tion: Yonr committee, to whom was referred the matters relating to the Pacific Railroad, respect fully report tho following resolutions for your consideration: Resolved, That in tho opinion of this conven tion the interests of tho whole country, espe cially tho Southern States, could be subserved by a main trunk railroad liue from San Diego, California, -through Junction river, Colorado, and Gila and and along the valley of Gila, south to El Paso on the Rio Grande, aud thence to a convenient point near the thirty second parallel of latitude east of Brazos river in the State of Texas, from* which the main trunk feeder roads should load from St. Louis, Cairio, Mem phis, Vicksbnrg, Now Orleans and other points, all of which feeder roads having equal rights and connection with said main trunk, while similar feeder road* from San Francisco and other points on the Pacific coast should havo similar equal rights and connections. Resolved, That tho President of this Conven tion be requested to forward a copy of this reso lution to the President of tho United States, Vice President, the Speaker of tho House of Representatives, and request them to present the samei) rtepoctive houses of Congress. The committee which is composed of repre sentatives from Beventoon States including three members of Congress, gives tho following rea sons for the report: 1. It is the shortest lino connecting tho Gulf of Mexico afcd the valley of tho Mississippi with the coast of the Pacific Ocean. 2. It is the line of most easy grades and cheap est coustrrtction per mile. 3. It passe® through less inhospitable and bar ren country, and over more fertile and hospita ble lands thanr other unoccupied route proposed. 4. This lino is touched by water transporta tions at three points, affording the greatest fa cilities for construction and consequently has tening and cheapening such construction. 5. Thi§ line will open to tho great minoral re source^ of Arizona and Sonora, and render more valuable the great stock raising districts of Tex as, New Mtaico, and northern Mexico, and will thus enjoy unrivalled traffic. C. It will inevitably attract numerous feeders from tho neighboring Republic, aud thus not on ly stimulate, .enterprise there but secure to our snipping ■a greater portion of the bullion which now sebiuB Europe by hazardous conductor^ and smuggling vessels. 7. It wul open a now cotton growing aroa in Texas,''i Now Mexico and Arizona. 8. It is well known that some roads which would h® among tho feeder roads referred to in the yesqtation, havo not only been projected but are alrc^J active course of construction with out waiSfe /or government subsidy or encour- nK 9. m L?ist thongU noi least, tDo construction of this route niore than all etetJ besides, will encour age aud build up what wo feel to be a great ne cessity of tho hoar, immigration and direct trade with Europe.

Cole, J. D. Pope, J. R. Parrott, and D. B. Harrell, says tho Macon Telegraph, calling for a convention of tho Judges of the Suporior Courts of tho State for tho purpose of revising and mollifying tho rules of practice of the Superior Courts. This movo is in tho right direction and cannot fail to result in groat advantage to the bench and bar of tho State in tho administration of justice. It is anticipated that thero will bo a full atten dance, not only of tho Judges, hut that many prominent members of the Georgia BftT will be present, to aid by their consultations in so modi fyiug the Rules oT Court as to give effect to the practical teachings of actual experience for tho last quarter of a century. It is also suggested that the occasion will be a suitable ono for tho gonoral assemblage and so- Rial reunion of tho members of a profession dis tinguished aliko for its erudition, wit and social worth. The following is a copy of tho circular referred to: Cuthdert, Ga., May 13th, 1SG9. To the Honorable Judges of the Superior Courts: • Dear Sirs: In view of the fact that the rules of Court, established by the Judges in Conven tion .many years since, are defective in various particulars, and on account of the changes in our organic system and current legislation, fail in adaptability to the exigences of onr present government and laws, we propose a Convention of the Judges of the Suporior Courts of tho Stato to revise and modify said rules under tho authority granted by section 3181, Irwin’s re vised Code. We, therefore, respectfully ar.lc yon to meet ns and the other Judges in Convention at the Capi tal, in Atlanta, on Tuesday, July 13th, next, at 11 o’clock, a. m„ for that purpose, and also to consider other things of importance and interest to tho profession aud to tho peoplo. C. B. COLE. Judge Macon Circuit, C. B. COLE. Judge Macon Circuit, ,T. l). POPE,'Judge Atlanta Circuit, J. R. PARROTT, Judge Cherokee Circuit, D. B. HARRELL, Judge Pataula Cirouit A correspondent of tho Petersburg (Va.) Ex press makes the following statement. We can only hopo that Grant may always koep as drunk as he was represented by Wells to bo on the oc casion referred to: Wells does not report well of Grant.. To the exclusion of other items, I will give his account of his last interview with the President, as re ported to me: “Grant is an ass,” said Wells nitterl itterly; “ and what is more, he is a drunken is. When wo entered tho room, ho was lean ing ovor tho table, with a sogar in his mouth, and his chin resting on both hands. His eyos wero fishy, and ho ineffectually attopipted to rise as we came in. We introduced our busi ness at once. “ Mr. Wells,” says ho, “ my de sire is peace and harmony throughout the coun try, and I will oven sacrifice my principles (if I havo any) to secure those things. Of courso, as far as I can do ho, without interfering with my main purpose, I will favor yon as a good Repub lican, but you must not expect mo to venture the succes of my administration in your b, half. I consider that the Virginians themselves are chiefly to bo consulted in this matter, not you. I say this after due deliberation., and I shall put the same views before iny Cabinet.’ ” “I told him," said Wells, “thathe was acting iu a way very injurious to his part}’. “My party,” answered Grant; “well, I know very well* whatvCm mean by ‘my patty, but I was elected bv the peddle, and I can afford to do as I please, in spite politicos and their orgnm- mS£? I iutoncl to do so. I Uo P 9 you mav be elected Governor of VirRinm, but I sIMUl do nothing offleinlly to effect that result. Yon must dopond on your own popularity and tho strength ol your party. As for the constitution, I intend to submit to'it, as far as possible, not to suit you and other immigrants, Tint to suit tho nativo Virginians, always protecting the equality of tho negroes." . „ ,. , “Such was the comfort wo fP**, <soutaned Wells, “and if we had not succeeded hotter with somo of hiH Oabinot, the constitution would have been shorn of evory provision that protects loyal interests against rebel invasion. Tho first favorable testimony of Brazil we havo noticed from an actual settler, is in tho Constitutionalist, of Wednesday. It js a letter from A. T. Oliver, formerly a citizen of Ogle thorpe county, who left there tho 13th of Au gust, 1800. His letter is dated tho 10th of last March. Ho speaks well of tho government, and and ill response to tho agricultural capabilities, ho says: This is tho best sugar country in tho world; plant it once, and it will produco thirty years without planting again. It is the nativo homo aud climate for coffee. This is the most healthy, most productive country I ever saw; tho best climate, the purest water, * and tho finest timber. We can make a bale of live hundred pounds of lint cotton on every acre of land. We cultivate fifty to sixty bushels of corn, and as fine rice and tobaoco as tho best and most favored portions of Virginia and South Carolina. Wo havo all of tho tropi cal fraits; besides, all that you can raise in Geor gia. wo ean have here. Vegetables, of every kind and variety, that you have, wo havo here in abundance. Hogs are as liue as you ever saw from Kentucky; horses, cattle, mnlcs, sheep and goatR aro abundant and good. Poultry, of every description, in tho groatestabundance. In short, it is a land of peace and plontv, and I believe will ultimately provo to bo the Cornucopia of the world. It is now tho asylum of tho oppressed South, and they aro fast coming to her peaceful and pacific bosom; aud, like a nursing mother, she will receive and support them. “ Tho mercury novor rises higher in the sbftdo here than 83 to 85 degrees; that is our hottest weather. Wo havo just frost enough to kill veg etation. Our planting season is just tho oppo site of yours-—September, October, November and December wo plant. I will begin to pick cotton to-morrow, (11th of March): a hand can pick one hundred and fifty pounds. Com is nnrd enough to grind; and I think (and so do all who havo seen my cotton) that it will make 750 pounds of ginned cotton per acre. I have plowed twice and hoed it once; that is all tho work it has had. I made last year, on new ground, 500 pounds per acre; it is much more promising this year. “I would say to those who wish to leave the United States (so-called), to come and look at Brazil before they settle.

FROST, HALL A CO., OR00BBS AND COMMISSION MERCHANTS, RorOi Side Public Square, Gums of tiieTennebsek Radual Opera.—The Radical Convention at Nashvillo last Tursday and Friday banted up in the greatest sort of a row. Both sides nominated their favorites.— Stokes lias the negroes on liis side. Renter is backed by tho young men of tho Republican party. Among other things said aud douo by tho delegates, we copy the following: Nelson—How is that Mr. Chairman ? When was that vote token ? Three groans for Butler. Immense noise. Threo groans for Renter. Still greater noise. Ray, Barbour, will you go back to Shelby?— You will never go back to Shelby. Jim Brownlow—I movo that tho Rnperlntcu- dant of tho Lunatic Asylum bo instructed to take that man out. I put in nomination— Bah ! bah ! Hur-r-r-rah ! We will give you lx—11 in your district Mr. Cato. Mr. Cate said ho was requested to read a tele gram from Memphis to the workin; Nashville, from Senator Sprague. Give it to some one who can read it. Jim Brownlow—I movo that Senator Sprague iH an abortion. You have, not got as much norvo as a louse. Mr. Williams attempted to speak. Oh sit down Williams ! Is that Sweet William or tho other Williams? Tako Williams out on a chip! “Mr. Chairman,” from Mr. Williams. We have no Chairman; talk to the people.— T o.r popull, vox Dei. Go to li—11 with your Roman ! Hurrah! hur-r-r-ah ! liur-r-r-ali for Sen ter. of The Democratic Party.—Tho Now York World is taking “ observations.” as the seamen say, of tho present position and future prospects of»lie Democratic party. Tho result is encour aging. President Grant’s blunders, in the first place, wo are told are plowing tho ground deep for a Democratic harvest. Another indication which tho editor thinks, augurs well for the fu ture success of the Democratic party, is a roceut exposition put forth by Mr. V&llandigham, who explains that at tho time he precipitated, in the Democratic National Convention, the crisis that resulted in the nomination of Gov. Seymour, lie really dosirod the nomination of Chief Justico Chase, and expectod it to bo accomplished by Mr. Seymour’s persistence in declining. The World reasons that: “This may ho fairly accepted as a proof that the leader of a very extreme wing of the Democ racy is willing that bygones shall be bygones, and that the policy of tho party shall hereafter ho shaped witn reference to the new issues which must arise out of a new Rtote of things. When tho loador of the ‘ coperheads’ thus announces himsolf as the apostle of an ultra-progressive De mocracy, we are justified in presuming that thoso samo ‘copperheads’ do not mean to bind the party to obsolete issues, for the Rake of vin dicating their own political antecedents.” Tho renewal of tho popular interest in the question of Free Trade, wo aro also told is another excellent sign. There are other grounds of encouragement,— the moral of all which is, that tho party must keep up its organization, aud be ready to take advantage of the tide.—Montgomery Mail. Reconstruction.—Texas is dortmed to be without civil government till November if not longer. Mai- Mooro of the San Antonio Express assures the President that it will ho folly to ex pect tho Republican party to gain a victory, in case an election is ordered in Texas immediate ly, and urges delay; and the President states t\iat there would be no election in Texas before Novembor, in any event. Major Mooro, wo are told, was an Adjutant of Gen. Sheridan’s De partment of the Gulf, in 1865. and was listened toby tho President with much interest. Of course, Gen. Sheridan’s military adjutant is heard before the people of Texas, and no early the peopfe afresh ovor to a military power, after over four years of peace; and, secondly, to deny them any election until it can, by military means and appliance, bo manipulated in favor of the Administration. Virginia continues much excited over the Pres ident’s refusal to pormit a separate vote on one of tho most obnoxious Clauses of the proposed Constitution, though knowing very well that all tho negroes of tho State will vote upon it. To what end did Gen. Grant propose to have peace among tho people, if he meant to do all he could to keep them more and more alienated ? —New York Express. A Compliment to the Chinese.—Wo bclievo it is now generally conceded thnt the work on tho California end of the Pacific railroad has been conducted with far more regularity and good order, if not despatch, than on the Union Pacific. Tho feat of laying down ten miles of rail in one day, last week, astonished the Union Paoiflo managers. It is also a fact that tho la borers on this end have been much better be haved and disciplined than on the other end of the road. We do not call to mind a single death by wanton violence on tho lino of the Central Pacific during the past year, while hardly a day lma passed on the other encl of the road, without some act of murder or other atrocity. We think a groat deal of this good order and ab sence of violence is fairly* attributable to the natural docility of the Chinese race, who have composed a great part of the foroe on the Cen tral Pacific. Doubtless, much of it is duo to the rule whicli excluded ardont spirits; but not all. These Ohineso have honestly wen a com pliment for good order, sobriety and good work whioh ought to shame those white ruffians who are in tho habit of traducing their morals at the same time they aro murdering each other.—Sac- remento Union. Crops.—The Union Springs Times says: Plant ers generally represent tlieir corn crops promis ing, at least, notin a discouraging condition.— Cotton has thus far had a hard time. It has suffered from froBt, excessive rain and cool weather: On the whole, howover, as many far mers speak cheerfully of their present cotton prospects os gloomily.
