' Brevities. Major J. A. Blatice, Solicitor of theT*i-i lapooaa Circuit, haa been removed by Gen. Pope, and one Bigby, of Newnan, appoint ed in his place. “Joe” was a gallant offi cer in our old regiment, Ist Ga. Regulars, lost one arm at Manasses, and is an honest man. Reasons sufficient for his removal. The U. 8.

Installment No. 1. The editor of the Cuthbert Appeal has just returned from a trip through Calhoun, Baker and Early counties, and thinks that little more than half a crop of cotton will be made this year. Summit tupnel, Central Pacific Railroad, sixteen hundred and fifty-eight feet long, is now open from the end through Solid granite. The track on the eastern • slope mountains is now being laid. A New York mamma hired a blue-eyed servant girl to go to parts unknown to cure her son of misplaced attachment. A correspondent of the Chicago Times addresses the editor as “you damned ras cal.” Americans have a reputation in Europe for unparalleled impudence. The Sun says it rained nearly all day Friday in Columbus, and that the pros pect for more showers and mad farmers was very favorable. An old man named Webb was caught robbing a store kept by some negroes in Columbus, on Thursday night. The first bale of new Sea Island cotton lias been brought to Charleston. It is of very superior quality. At a Sheriff’s sale in Union Springs, Ala., last week, land sold at 10 to 25 cents an acre, and mules at S2O each. A good steam mill in running order, brought $25. The Sea Islands around and below Charleston, ofTer great inducements to white settlers. Registration on nine of them up to August 23d, stands 60 whites ; and 2,164 negroes. It is said that General Sickles will re turn to New York to follow the practioeof law. The best thing he can do is to retire to the shade of private life, and quietly enjoy the. infamous reputation he has earned. “Sheridan has been disgraced as the rep resentativeof aprinciple.—[N. Y. Tribune. There are principles so vilethatit would disgrace any oue to be their representa tive.—[Louisville Journal. On Tuesday evening last, a young man leaped from the New York evening express train at Hast Bridgeport, and soon after a woman followed. The man alighted safe ly, but the woman fell upon the side of the track and was roiled over and badly bruised. b.: £V?I. The total earnings of the Kansas branch of the Union Pacific railroad, sot the month of July, was $189,570 59. Os this, $64,545 46 was from government business.

Betts, and B. have been confined in the military guard house, in Columbus, for two weeks, have been released by order efGeny Pope* with- 1 out a trial, and without even any charges being made agaiust them. > i Joe'Williams, the conservative negro orator, from Tennessee, narrowly escaped mobbing, on Thursday, in Ala., att he hands of agang of black raabids who were put up to it, the Advertiser thinks, by “some cowardly white scoun drel.” And yet, the Advertiser is onii the same line with the party that tolerates these "white scouudrels,* ’ The Augusta city Railroad will soon be tm fait accompli. The Iron is ready, and track laying will commence to-morrow. Miss Hearn, of Gallatin, Tennessee, was married on the 28th of August, to Mr. Ab bott, of the same place. At half past 7 o’- clock on the evening of 6he»29tb, she was a corpse, stricken down with apoplexy. A dog scratched up a box in Savannah, Friday afternoon, in which was found the body a negro child, supposed to have been -burried about two weeks. Cincinnati "roughs” amuse themselves by biting off*the tips of conductors ears, when the latter order them to quit smok ing in ladies cars. The Government sale of army clothing at Bt. Louis,'on Wednesday last, netted $3,000,000. Among other articles, 100,000 overcoats were sold. Mr. Han’s "Notes”.—We safely as sume that the continuaneeof this gentle man’s eloquent appeals will be seen with ainoere pleasure by ali respectable people. The Tories of the State have chuckled through their venal organs over the pros pect of Mr. Hill’s banishment or enforced silenoe, but they have reckoned without their hoets. He is still in Georgia, stiff free to speak and write, still free to warn his countrymen against the machinations of traitors. As Mr. Hill did not ask the permission oI these creatures or their mas tom to begin his work, he will not consult them in regard to stopping a i All Hail, California !—The heart of •veay Patriot injthto broad land, responds with gratitude, and hope, and exaltation, to thenlorioua news from the Golden State. The gallant conservatives of that State have struck tip# black giant of Radical ism a stunning blow, and from the slopes of the Pacific yet ringing with their shouts of victory, comes an echo that will strike dismay to the souls of the assassins of lib erty, who are mustering their cohorts for another and more desperate assault upon the Constitution and its sworn defender. Will New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio respond to this stirring appeal ? We earnestly hope so, for free gouernment is before the last jury that will ever pass up on its fate, in.this country at least. Thank God for California ! It may have saved the country, and with its civiliza tion and Christianity. In any event, it is preparing itself to welcome with open arms and a glad heart, those in this un happy country who may be driven from it.

' To General U. S. Grant. It is not my purpose to criticise, or make a formal reply to, .General Pope’s letter. To ail intelligent minds that letter mu9t furnish its own severest criticism, and its own most effective refutation. Besides, knowing the influences which surround him, and the characters of those who hur ried, with supple grace and smiling selfish ness, to filLbto deceived but willing ears, the General’s situation inspires all my compassiohhhd none of my anger. But these characters, through General Pope’s position, the Government and people of the North, and, to secure favor to themselves, are hurrying the Northern and Southern people into com mon misfortunes by prolonging and in creasing mutual distrusts. Therefore, I make Generai-Pope’s letter of the 24th July the occasion of dropping a few notes to ydurself. Events have thrust upon you the gravest responsibility in human an nals. A few months will determine, and deter mine beyond recall, whether you are equal or unequal to the task. You do not occupy General, the‘highest official position in the nation, but you do occupy the position created by events, from which, with the least effort, the greatest good can- be ac complished; and from which, also, the greatest evils b/mere permission can ne inflicted. - Whoever else might save Con stitutional liberty, it is certain you ran. — American freedom, protected by govern ments organized under and secured by written Constitutions, is the grand stake. Save it, and your’s will rise—the very Teneriffe of human reputations. Let it be lost, or let others save it without your help, or in spite of your opposition, and no mortal eyer|fell to loweijdeep from higher place, only becauae so blind to chance or une qual to duty. Now, then, to this end I ask you to par don me if I beg you, first of all, to fully comprehend the one idea in American politics, without which every other i<fea can only confuse and mislead; that the written Constitution, and that wiiich is authorized thereby, is the only legitimate American will and, therefore, the only supreme American law. Violate, disre gard, lose sight of, or refuse to see this one truth, and no wisdom nor learning can enlighten, no position, nor power, nor armies save. Then, anarchy as the ordeal and despotism a r i "the goal, is inevitably American destiny. In the next place let me remind you that, in times of public peril, frankness, however discouraging, is the highest pub lic virtue, and deception, however flatter ing, to the highest possible crime. If you have the greatness of soul required to ap preciate this truth, ray letters will not be unheeded, though the writer be represent ed from official headquarters as “turbulent ami disloyal.” Keeping on this standpoint of the Con stitution and guided by this spiritof frank ness, I propose in three separate Notes, to »bare before you the real facts touching ee separate but important proposi sitons: * 1. Who they are, of the Southern white race, who will accept the Military Bills as a p(an of reconstruction, and what are the reasons and notions which control and ac tuate them in such acceptance. 2, Who Jthey are of the Southern white race, who reject said bills as a plan of re construction, and what are the reasons ana motives which control and actuate them ityiaaeh rejection. 3. What plan will cordially unite all the Southern people; secure permanent union; avoid future wars ; restore and increase national properity ; perpetuate Constitu tionalgovernment, and most effectually protect the African race in all And, finally, wbat the government and peqple of the North must do as indispen sable to peace, if they persist in forcing Ttpon the Southern States the plan of re couotwawtlnn proposed in the Military And ottthese points I intend to set fjortk-ihe facts, which neither General Popwjior his amphibious counsellors, nor his npHupcna spies, either can or wiil dare at tempt to controvert. First, then, let us ascertain distinctly and classify carefully themeu in the South who accept these Military Bills, or pro fess to accept them, and learn from them why they aceept tiiem. These are they. 1. Office hblders.— The most active of these arc Federal office-holders, aud the most active again, of these, are those who came or were Cent from the Northern States.— Among these, it is a pleasure to say, there are some gentlemen forming exceptions to the rule ; but nearly ail of these excep tions are opposed to the Military Bills. Some few among them I know to be gen tlemen, and who aceept the Bills, but the great body of these officers seem only in tent upon making themselves and the Government odious to our people. The *eSvil officers of the State may be described as quiescent rather than acquiescent. A few ac cept what they are ordered not to reject. 2. Adventurers. —By these I mean persons who never act with any consistency of principles, nor in any spirit of devotions of right,nor in any spirit of devotion to the public good. They are bred by all revolu tions aud, in their turn, breed the chief horrors or all revolutions. They gather on States in trouble like flies in the room of the sick. They are always on the strong side, General. They composed the unprin cipled porUonof tbe secession partv. These Se they who committed the frauds; de lved the people; stirred the passions of thp masses; who went into sectet societies with an .Indian name, and pledged them selves to force'the State out if the people did not vote out. These are they who led "the people into their present desperate condition, and who seek to plunge them still deeper into misfortunes.” I know these men well. They are among General Pope’s counsellors. They accept the Mili tary Bills. They are popular at General Pope’s headquarters. They will serve oat that full" term of six months,” which the General prescribes, to be relieved of the disabilities ! Indeed, they will, and be on good behaviour, too. They are smart.— They have completely turned poor General Pope round and put his face where his back ought to be, aud caused him to put hli ceat on with the collar down I They have made Geuerai Pope recommend, by name, three men for banishment, because they oppose the Military Bills, when these very counsellors aoJ loyal Radicals de sired to banish, or mob, in 1860, because they opposed secession ! Alas! how well /know te,and how well they know poor General Pope! Some of these abandoned the Confederacy very soon—as soon as they failed to get office .or contracts—and now call themselves original Union men, and a few of them hate actually taken the test oath. Others held on to secession as long as it was safe and profitable. Os course, now, £p avoid confiscation aud dto francbisement, they are for reconstruction and swear at every corner “ the Radicals can do as they please—the Constitution to dead and the President is nobody.” Under this head it pains me to- have to. include some really original Union men, who, failing to be recognized by the people as the only fit person to have office after the surrender, became soured, aud, with a desperate petulance, abandoned the con servative principles of their lives and rushed into Radicalism. 3. Timd imen. —We have among us some good meaning men. They want peace. So, Heaven knows, do ali of us! Peace! It is a sweet word !* Some of our people so Jong for peace that they will even run after anybody who cries peace, ilke hungry sheep after the man who shakes a bundle of fodder, never thinking, poor creatures, they are being led to a shearing house or a slaughter pen! So, some arealarmed with the idea of confis cation and further disfranchisement.— “ We must take the best we can get,” they say, “ It to no use to talk about the Con stitution. -The Radicals are too xnean to regard that. They don’t care- for their oaths. They don’t care for the Union. They don’t mind Johnson. They say if we don’t take these Military Bills they will put on us something worse, and they are mean enough to do it, and the North ern people; don’t seem to care. They’ll take our iands and everything else. We had better go with them to keep them from ruining us.” Such are the arguments we hear every day in favor of the Military ills! I have heard of many reasons why dif ferent parties should be supported; but the Radical party can monopolize this one, urged by its own supporters. It disregards the Constitutipn ; tramples on oaths; robs the people ; and will do worse things if it is not kept in power ! 4. Policy men. — These are of various kinds. Some say it is policy to give suffrage to the negroes because the Southern whites Can control their votes and disappoint the Radicals. Some say they can seem to go with the Radicals until we get into the Union and then we can do as we please. Others say by accepting the Military Bills we can get control of the Convention with the right kind of men, and form a Consti tution to suit us, or, if we must form one to suit the Radicals we can afterwards cbange.it again. All these policy men feel insulted if you call them Radicals.— They excitedly swear they are not Radi cals ; they are only going to trick the Rad icals. They arogoing to beat the Radi cals at their own game of deception. They also insist that the Constitution “is a f host”—the Governmentis gone—that the Radical party to the only existing govern ment, and'we can do more to destroy it by feeding it than by fighting it. They frequently whisper, in confidence, “These military men, from Grant down, know nothing about law or Constitution. As for Pope everybody knows he to a fool, and it is no trouble at all to manage him. And as for the Radical party, they care noth ing for the negro. All they want to to elect their President in 1868 and hold the offices. Let us help them to do that, and they will remove ail our disabilities and let us fix our State governments just as we please.” Mark you, General,, this is not my lan guage. It is the language of Gen. Pope’s friends—these loyal men, who, after “six months of good conduct” like quiet boys, he is going to recommend to Congress as true patriots worthy to be trusted with any office! I confess many of these policy nen are intelligent, even learned, and of high political and social position. They are disciples of the doctrine that “all is fair in war “it is best to fight the devil with fire,” <fcc. I think they are wrong in principle, and will be fatally deluded in fact. The devil cannot be whipped with fire, because it is his element. So the Radicals cannot be defeated by de ception, because deception is the whole life of Radicalism. It would be as reason able to play scratch with the lion. The devil must be fought with truth and the Radicals with the Constitution ! Then victory, sooner or later, will be sure, permanent and glorious. “Get thee behind me Sa tan,” must be the language of every true patriot to this modern political fiend— Radicalism. 1 Now, General, the catalogue is complete. Every white man in the South who ac cepts the Military Bills belongs to one or other of the above classes. General Pope thinks they will be largely in the majority in Alabama, and will have some majority in Georgia. Ido not think so. The two first classes are stationary and uninfluen tial. The two last were, at one time, seemingly very numerous and embraced many of our best citizens. They were des perate. But thenumber has greatly di minished, and to daily and rapidly de creasing. But suppose every white man in the South were to accept, and should vote, with such convictions aud purposes , for the Military Bills, what good results could fol low? I tell you, frankly, Ido not know a respectable white man in the whole South who approves the Military Bills as Con stitutional, or right, or just, or desirable. Not one! Ido not believe Gen. Pope knows of one. Ido not believe there is a single one who will, even for the removal of his dis abilities, put himself on record as support ing or defending these Bills as, were in his opinion, Coustitutional or righteous.— We all know that very many of those who accept the Bills openly declare them un constitutional, unjust and oppressive, ’fbe uncandid accept—the candid reject—none approve—and all despise! How long can a government last which is established over a people who universally feel that it is oppressive, know it is illegal, and accept it only as a hard temporary policy ? How much good-will can it breed, and bow much devotion can it inspire ? Can such a reconstruction furnish a guarantee of fu ture Union and peace? Will it restore confidence, or happiness, or prosperity ? Will it pay the national debt, or preserve the national honor, or build again the waste places? You may, with the help of the deceived negro, force this plan. But force alone can do the work, for it has no man’s approval. If force aloue can es tablish this plan of reconstruction, how long will it last when that force shall be withdrawn ? If force alone gives it origin, must not force alone secure its continu ance ? And does not this make Military Despotism permanent. Is force the “great principle ot government” of which Gen. Pope speaks? Is this the problem by which “to perpetuate recopstruction in the spirit and on the principles which can alone assure free government ?” Oh, what destructive absurdity is this from the mouth of a ruler in a land of written con stitutions ! I think, as Gen. Pope says, that three fourths of the negro vote will be "for the Convention,” ana to carry out the Milita ry Bills. They do not know what the Constitution is, or what they are voting for. But they are taught, by emissaries and low office-seekers, that the Radicals are their only friends, and they must give such votes to keep their friends in power. They are also taught that every white man who votes against a Convention Is their enemy. The negroes alone in the South approves-these Military Bills, and they approve from false teachings and in a spirit of hatred to the white race. Is any man North or South, so stupid as not to see to what this will lead? Can even force prevent a war of races under such a gov ernment? Will the Northern people press this fate upon us? Will they longer sustain a which tramples thus upon every principle of freedom, every sentiment o right, and every guarantee of peace t perpetuate its own criminal existence Will you, General, be the leader of that party ? Will yon be the nourishing breeder of hatred between the races, the willing instrument of oppiesßien upon a people who laid down their arms to you on your assurance of protection so long as they obeyed “the laws of the State in which they lived.” Will you be the grand exe cutioner nf liberty for the continent? For I tell you no nation which forces despo tism upon ten millions of people can it self remain free. Despotism for all or for none, to as just as truth and as inevitable as destiny. In the Constitution to liberty for all and forever. Out of the Constitu tion is bloody anarchy and final despo tism without hope. You won no victory in the war if you lose the Constiiution now. Americans, from ocean to ocean, and from tbe iceburgsto tbe orange groves, will remember, with sorrow and weeping the seenes at Appomattox Court House if you forget the Constitution now. You led noarmies fortheUuionifyou enforce these Military Bills for the Radicals. The Con stitution or the Radical party must perish. Fame Invites you to live with the first and infamy w'oos you to lead the last. Who saves "his country saves himself and all things, and all things saved do bless him.
