JfimiUL A MESSENGER FOR 1868. j The present year, cahnot fail to be fVtll of political events of the gravest moment to the Southern peo ple. It will witness the continuance,.and, let wd hope, the termination of thoso atrocious assaults upon free goyehuneut, upon the Constitution, and rights and liberties of the States and their poople uow being made by a desperate faction, ft will Witness the defeat of those who shamelessly do alaro that they are acting " outside the Constitu tion” ; or mark, in the wreck of the Republic, their unholy triumph over those principles and Institutions that the Fathers won by the if good swords, and consecrated by their best and- wnvest blood. That tills grand struggle may end in favor of law and order, and In the establishment, upon an enduring basis, in the affections of an intelligent and high souled people of those muniments of Liberty -be queathed by those who made this government, it Ib necessary that the Pxopui, whose priceless tierltage is at stake, should wake up to a lull consciousness of the inestimable value of that stake, and rise to a level with the courage, and energy, and aotion re quired to win it. In the firm confidence tharthis honored Journal has done its whole duty by the people in all the eventfUl years—now more then half a century— since its establishment, and mote particularly In the trials and vicissitudes through which we have pass ed since Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-One, we look for that liberal support which it has always received and appreciated as a tribute to its consistency in principle, its dignity in style, and its steady devo tion to truth and justice. * From our country friends we expect a Staunch support, for it is in the country that newspaper In fluence is less pervading, and, therefore, more need ed. We hope it is not asking too much of our country subscribers to lend their aid in extending our circulation, in order that we may Imve a broad er field fbr our efforts in the cause of White redemp tion and deliverance. We have not one subscriber who can not, with small exertion send us an addi tional one, and thus double our powers among the masses who are to decide the great battle.

"I sincerely desire the success of every enter prise having for Its object the piomoiion or edu cation and a Just appreciation of our own section of the country, without disparagement to others, aud sincerely hope the publishers of these works will receive a patronage commensurate with their patriotic design.” YorkvUle Enquirer, S. C. “The principal feature of this series, which dis tinguishes it from other works of the same class, is the prominence given to Southern authors In the selections for school reading. This of itself, other things being equal, should give It the prefer ence In Southern schools. Our literature should be encouraged, and in no way can tills be done so well as by making our children acquainted with It, thus forming a taste for the productions of our own writers.” Statesville American , “Surely Sou them colleges, academies and schools will give a pieference to these home publications, and encourago the enterprising publishers, who are ‘native and to the manner born.’ ” Richmond Whig, To. “The object seems to be to give to onr children aJnst appreciation of tlielr native South—of the writings and achievements of her statesmen, her philosophers, artists, orators and authors. A pure, scrlptu'al morality pervaues these books, and we cannot too earnestly commend them to the attention of parents and teachers.” >Vom “s Vhe Land W’e Love,” JV, C. “We have received from It.

Political O ossip—The Dead of the Sea Bird—Scenes of Horror—The Era of Electricity—Romantic Elopement Frus trated—Divorce in High Life in Pros pective, etc., etc. ' POLILICAL GOSSIP grows warm and interesting. The De mocracy are straining every nerve to carry this city at the coming election, in order that the Republican Convention, which meets in May next, may hold its sessions in soine more “loyal” place, as prominent Radicals threaten that if the city goes Democratic they will have the Convention adjourned to some other and more Radi cal city. The reaction is being felt all over the Northwest, aud a little time wiil develop many things. THE HEAD OF THE SEA BIRD drift in daily. The beach prowlers, like the wretches who infested the battle-fields during the late war, do not their work by halves. Bodies are stripped, fingers torn ofl for the rings, teeth knocked out for -utuusis' use, uie nair or women cut oil' for sale to the dealers in false hair, and the bodies thus mutilated defy identification even by familiar eyes. Some have also floated in with fearful knife stabs, broad and deep, on them. Rumor, of course, has a thousand ways for accounting for these, hut till the sea gives up its dead the truth can. never be known. Not oue in twenty of the bodies have been recovered. But enough of horrors for one week. THE NEW ERA OF MEDICINE. One of the most enlertaiuing and in structive places to visit here I have found to he the Medical aud Electrical Institute, Dr. Justin Hayes, resident physician. In the history of the war between science aud quackery there is no more startling chap ter than that appertaining to the introduc tion of electricity into medical practice. Though the Electro-Thenual Batli was de nounced worse than the Russian was wont to be, it has triumphed, and demonstrated the efficacy of eleotricity as a remedial agent in the treatment aud cure of chronie diseases. The Institute is fortunate in the resident physician, a gentleman cf rare professional ability and genial disposition, and he presides over an elegant and com modious mansion, where all the comforts of the most luxurious home are enjoyed by those who are so fortunate as to obtain ad mission. Judged by the utilitarian stand ard, the Institute cau claim the highest triumph ; for in the past six years, while from one to thirty-five patients have been treated daily, hut five have been lost. Professor Variey, the eminent electrician of Atlantic cable fame, pronounces the Electro-Thermal Bath and Helix in use at the Institute superior to any in the world. A ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT, iu which the lady participating is from your vicinity—Miss Belle L-ui-x—was just nipped in the bud last night, as the patties had scarcely ensconced themselvts iu a sleeping car bound South. The irate papa of the young lady, on bringing her forth, soundlv boxed her amorous ears, and the would-be groom was led away by fate clad as a policeman. He looked crest fallen enough, as he has ever shown u de cided penchant for fair young ladles—with money. Details will be In order In my next. A HICK DIVORCE CASE, in which Athens and Milledgeville will be deeply interested, will soon come up itere. The lady alleges that she has beeu reduced from opulenoe to beggary by her husband, and further, that lie spent her money upon other women. More of this in my next. Georgian. IMPKACMWBNT. Tb«lMreu«efl«H«<l on A* M*»* lu»|»or. uni Point In the »'*»«• Impeachment becomes every day more and mot e an Insult to the commonest sonto of fair play. Managers t»nl radical Senators alike either suppose the people so ignorant of the proprieties of a trial or so indifferent to its Jus tice that they no longer otideavor to disguise thetf Outrageous violation* of right and deuoas ey.‘ ff they even discuss points at issuo they do it with a careless irrelevancy that alway IndlcaVpi their trust to be, not in tho force of their argument, but in tho vote that is to follow. Indeed, we see tn the Henate now the same discouraging spectacle that tho nation has bad before it ail winter in the Mouse of Representa tive*, whrre the paitisan power was so ovtr whelmingly on one side, so blindly given up to a fixed lead, that St was only ncootaary for it to ba knoVrn that a bill was a party iuoasure—not what was tn it—to Insure ita passage. Leaders were under no necessity to explain the laws Ihoy proposed, as they bail a suitloient vote al ready psiiil for. * th» now in the Kenat-it is only necessary for it to be known what tho Mana gers wish, and they are pretty sure to have it. Some oaeof the counsel for tho respondent pretfira toettmoiry that be regards as vital to aU case, and Mr. Manager Uuticr **objects ” quite at random, and, as a matter of oour«e, ar gument'le given tram the defeaoe, generally earnest and clear, to show tho fitness and rele vancy of tba testimony, and the Managers, out rtf sons® small lingering regard to for mail ties, pat lit an adverse argument and hurry the question to a vote; and thn vote, strictly rndl- Cal, rules the testimony out Such is tbe be witching simplicity ofjustice in our Senate More flagrant than all the previous instances of this was that given on Saturday, when the bens to ruled out the testimony of members of the Cabinet as to tbe advice that the resident had received from t hem in regard to the Tenuro of Office law.— Mr. Johnson Is charged with intentional violation of the law. His intention is so much the essence of his oftence that, if be did not do the acts alleged with intent to violate law’ they are qot criminal.— This is tho position taken by the accusers in tho impeachmentartioles'. They accuse not only the President's sets, which might have been mistakenly done—they accuse nothing whose criminality tbe common frailty of error mightpalliate—but they go Into his mind and charge the very origin of ihe evil in a wicked extent to knowingly violate the constitution and the laws. He must, tbeu, before ha could have conceived this intent, have known tlwt the law In question was oue he Was bound to obey; and tins carries the evidence to the forma tion of his opinions—what would be reasonable proof of his deliberately 7 evil intent? If it could be shown that he had been advised On every hand of the binding force of the laW ; If those who habit*, ually advise tbe Executive had told him that the jmakers of the law had not transcended their au thority, and be, stubbOttily following his own will, had yet acted in defiance of the law, that would have been fair evidence of his evil intent. Now, tho defence must assume that the prosecution pro poses to argue this, perhaps to deduce it from evi dence already given. Thus they came forward to set up plain evidence to the contrary. They pro pose to show that it was the uniform opinion of all who advised the President that the law was not one ho was bound to respect. And the options of the Cabinet officers are in this competent evi dence, not to show the Senate that the law was unoonsi itutionai, bnt to show the Senate that tho President came honestly by the opinion that the law he is charged with violating was not a law, but an enactment without force, aud cue ho was re strained from obeying by bis duty to the paramount fundamental law—the Constitution. Such was the testimony proffered by tho defence on Saturday. Regarded in any just relation to the charges made, it was so evidently and clearly rele vant on the one important point iu this case that to mau honestly using his own eyes could fail to see its relevancy. Counsel for the prosecution, interested for the success of their case —not in jus tice—objected of course. Mr. Wilson, one or the maaagers, supported the objection by an hour's argument that never touched the point. Mr. Cur tis urged the admission of the testimony in a strik ingly lucid statement of its purpose, and the Chief Justice of the United States ruled that tbe testi mony proffered was competent and admiss'ble.— Radicalism, seeing its danger, appealed from the decision of the Chief Justice, and the vote ruled the testimony out, denying the defence the right to prove tne respondent’s innocence by the most com petent and proper evidence. Such a decision shows that extreme men in tho Senale have deter mined to convict; and every thinking man wifi sympathize with the President’s counsel in the feeling that it is useless to carry the case further— that it might as well be stayed at this point as to proceed before a Court that will hear only one side. K Y. IferaUi. BEHIND THE SCENES. Piquant Revelations by Mrs. Lincoln's Colored Milliner—Domeitic Life, at the White House. A berk, entitled “ Behind the Beenes,*’ has been pubhshed by George W Carleton & (Jo. The author is Mrs. Elizabeth Keck ley, au American citizen of African descent, for thirty years a slave, subsequently modiste for Mrs Jefferson Davis, and for four years an inmate of the W hite Home, ard Mrs. Lincoln's “next friend.” The chapters of this book aro ontillod us follows . ‘ Girlhood and its sorrows,” ‘ln the family of Jefferson Davis as Mrs. D.’s con uen na i Wi"v Hire,- -My Introduction to Mr. 1 Lincoln,” ‘‘Behind the Scenes,” ‘‘The Aesas - nation of Mr. Lincoln,” ‘‘Secret History of Mrs. Lincoln’s Wardrobe in New York,” etc. Mrs. Keckley has told her story plainly and clearly, and with sufficient piquancy. Mrs Lincoln speaks her mind freely in the book and occasionally criticiz » very sbai ply some persons in whom she has evidently !o-t confi dence. Upon reading tho book with consider able care, says the New York Commercial Ad vertiser, we are sure that tho strictures of tb * paper upon the sale of Mrs Lincoln’s wardrobe wc ro amply deserved, aud that the half has not been told in regard to this woman. Bhe dis closes her character in this book most freely, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS ONE OF MRS. LINCOLN’* EARLY LOVSRS. Mrs. Keckley relates that Mr?. Lincoln from her earliest childhood was convinced that she would be tho wife of a P.res’dent Whon a young lady, sho was, says the bonk, courted by Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Douglas. The latter of fered himself to her aud was discarded. Re pressed his suit more boldly : “Mary, do you kuow what you aro refusing? You have always had an ambition (o become the wife of a President of the United .States.— Pardon the egotism, but I fear that in refusing my hand to-night you have thrown away your best chance to rule iu tho White Houso.” “I do not understand you, Mr. Douglas.” . " Then I will speak more plainly. Y'ou know, Mary, 1 am nmbitous like yourself, and something seems to whisper in my ear, ‘You will be President some day.’ Depend ujoa it I shall make a stubborn fight to w'ln the proud position.” “You bavo my best wishes, Mr Doug’as still I cannot consent to be your wif*. 1 shall be come Mrs. President, or I am tho victim of false prophets, but it will not be as Mrs. Douglas ” I have this little chapter in a romantic his tory from the lips of Mrs. Lincoln herself. At one of the reoeptions at tho White House, shortly after tho first inauguration, Mrs. L;n eoln joined in the promenade with Senator Douglas Bfd was bolding a bouquet that bad been presented to her, and as they moved along, he said: “Mary, It reminds mo of old times to have you lean upon my arm.” “You refer to the daysof our youth, i must do you the credit, Mr. Douglas, to say that you were a gallant beau.” ! “Not only a beau, but a lover. Doyou re member the night our flirtation was brought to an end ” “Distinotly. You now see that I was right. I am Mrs. President, but not Mrs. Douglas”’ • ‘True, you have reached the goal boioro ino but ldo not despair. Mrs. Douglas—a nobler woman does not live—if I atu spired, may pos sibly succeed you as Mrs- President ” Mrs Keckley then dtsoribe* the love-making of Mr. Lincoln, his rejection, bis despair and his iical acceptance by Miss Todd. The Hern don story is spoken es as “a phasant piece ot tiotioa ” The whole affair, as related in tins book, is an illustration ol tho delicacy of the parties engaged in tho work. MRS.

Mrs. Lincoln lias a long conversation with Mrs i K«ckley in regard to her debts, and her plans for ! meeting their payment. We quote. | “I owe altogether about #27,000; the principal j portion at Stewart’s, In New York. You under stand, Lizabeth, tlrst Mr. Ufauutu has but little I .idea of the eXpei*** of a women's wardrobe.

' To keep up appearances I most have money, more than Mr. Lincoln can spare. Ho is too bone*t tomike a penny outside of hw soWy; consequently I had, and still have, no alternative but to run in debt."' “ And Mr. Lincoln does not even suspect how modi you owe?" “God, not’’—this wee a favorite expression of hers—aud I would not have him suspect. If he knew that iiis wife was involved to the extent that slie is, the knowledge would drive him mad. He is so Binoere and straightforward himself, that be is shocked by the duplicity of others. does not know a thing about any dobls, and I value his hap pipess, not to speak or my own, too much to allow him (o know anything. Tnis is what troubles me so much. If he is re elected, 1 can keep him in ig norance of my affairs; but if he is defeated, then the bills will be Hentin, and he will know alland something like a hysterical sob escaped her. Mrs. Lincoln sometimes feared that the politi ticiaus would get hold of the particulars of her debts, and use them iu the Presidential campaign against her husband; and when this thought oc curred to her, sho was almost crazy with anxiety snd feflr. When iu one of these excited moods she would fiercely exclaim: “ Tho Republican politicians must pay my debts. Hundreds of tltem are getting immensely rich off the patronage of my husband, aud it is but fair that they should help mu out of my embarrassment. I will make a demand of them, and when I tell them the facts they can not refuse to advance whatever money I require. A piquant chapter is that upon the exhibition and sale of the wardrobe. All the correspondence is given iu full, and thj whole disgraceful affair is paraded at length. [Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.] FITCH ON CLIFT AT QUITMAN. Quitman, Ga., April 7. Editor Republican: As a constant reader of your journal, 1 take tho liberty of enclosing a report of the excellent speech of Hon. Henry 8. Fitch, delivered this day before one of the largest assemblages that bas been gathered in Quitman lor many years. The uproarious and prolonged applause that greeted this distin guished and eloquent sj eaker during the de livery of this most scathing rebuke of the ig norant impostor, Clift, (who, by the way, was present,) and listened to the painful dissection with pato checks and glaring eyes, told plainly the strong hold Col. Fitch Las upon the affec tions of tho poop’e whom ho is seeking to pro tect from the insidious attacks of these danger ous emissaries. Tbo many readers of the Re publican in this locality wbo were unab'.e to be pio-.eut, will doubtless pc'Psuo the unanswera ble spodch With great pleasure, and certainly with profit T«o citizens of Brooks county have hoi: te«l -the names of Gordon and Filch, and the glroioui old standard will descend upon a brilliant victory. Will the voters of old (Jatham do their duty in this crisis? We await with anxiety their answer. Nemo. Tuu position of a Gongie-sumn is oue of great responsibility, aud under the theory ot our government shopi.l bo one of great honor. The recent attempts, however* (often sadly ««<*—mlul) to prostitute it to a mere place of profit, had rendered that high office a lavorite theme of modern satire. Literature may he omiehod by such sarcasms, but the Republic should mourn the fact It is idle for people to comp ain of bad legis lation when they make no effort to select good legislates s. In tbo earner days of tho Republic each con stituency chose tli’eir best intellect as their del egate in the National Councils. The result was peace, pow- r and prosperity. If the country is not now in tho enjoyment of similar blessings, a very cursory examina tion of the character nml calibre of the men who profess to represent the people in the Halls of Congress will furnish the true solution. The time wai when Congressmen achieved fame by self-sacrifice, liven honest and died honored. Now they too frequently purchase notoriety by corruption, and live as infamously as though they never expected to die This unfortunate degeneracy from states mans hip to intrigue should no where be more oppressively apparent than in tho Southern State?, and particularly in the State of Geor gia. Georgia was once represented in Congress by Alexander It. Stephens, ono of tho ablest po litical philosophers and skilled parliamentari ans in this or any other country—a man whom all the world recognises and history cannot afford to overlook.. From what class do the radical party propose to re loci the successor of this intellectual leader? Men who rely for their present strength upon the fact that they are unknown, and for their future safety upou the reasonable belief that they will soon he for gotten. GoJigia was once represented by Robert Toombs—a man whom the sagacious called rash, but whom none were rash enough to sup pose stupid ; a man behind whose snaggy brows there reposed in leonine strength much of the political nmgniflconee of this Slate Whai style of men do the radicals desire to occupy his seal? Men who, if pinned tliere with a bayonet, would l >ok as ridiculous as a magpie in an eagls’s nest Georgia was once represented by Howell Cobb, whose firmness of purpose and brilliancy of statecraft gave to her so potential a voice ia all national councils. Whom do tho radicals ask you to elect as his successor ? Meu to whoiu the political history of this coun try ia as ranch ft mystery ns their existence will be a "mystery to history. These comparisons I know are considered im politic; but when ,any people have reached that stage of political immorality where policy ia con cealment oi truth, no number of untruths will s«ve them. Thin District was once represented by such men as Butler King, Jiuues L. Seward and Judge Love —men of undeniable ability—whose career in Con gress was a ere lit to themselves and an honor to their coMtUhcuoy. Whom do the Radicals urge upou you uow aa thoir successor in office? This inquiry has never been satisfactorily answered. There is as much Ignorance in tho public mind upou this subject matter as there ia iu the mind ol' the subject hitu sol)'. Uolias a name—so have patent medicines, but their component, parts are as occult as thoir effects are dangerous. No man can toll his origin, yet every man can tore tell bis end- Such characters are perplex ing problems iu uarural history, nud ia to be hoped will not long bo perpetrated, or the origin of mankind may once more become a question of gtave doubt. It has boon said that a*• little learn ing is a dangerous thingbut I predict, that a misoroftoopk' examination of Dr. Clift’s brain will convince any cue tltat total aberncc of dauger is perfectly compatible with the most limited infor mation.
