“Come like Shadowi"»o De purl,”
We scarcely know when we have been
so shocked as wc were yesterday to learn
that our old, and for some time intimate,
friend, Chauncey Churchill, had departed
this life at his residence in Hartford,
Conn., on Tuesday, 16th ult., a little over
two weeks since wo bade him farewell.
From his expressed feelings of good health
to us, we hoped to meet him again in the
Fall. For over over thirty years he had
been a business man in this community.
His integrity and fair dealing all know,
hut his urbanity and Christian charity is
best known to a few. While ho lived here,
bis professions as a consistent member of
the Christian Church were exemplified in
his daily walk and conversation ; and the
good name he bore in life lives after hhn
as a memento most precious to his friends.
Farewell 1
Fourth of July.
At one time in our short life this day was
3 jubilee over all this broad land called the
b nited States. It was a specialty. It was
the birthday of a nation. Ninety two years
ago this day was born the greatest nation
that the world has ever yet seen. Inter
necine war are but the ebullitions of tho
filing pot. Henceforward the nations of
-e earth will come up to us and our pros-
J’ty, which were thought, in our former
not to be equalled and
cuuld not be excelled upon the earth,
•ill be shown to be a mere outside shell in
■ comparison to the solid work that will be
one in the future. Let us all then com
luemorate this day; let us work and hope
M wait. The future is destined to be a
► onous consummation of the bright hopes
our fathers, and the silver cloud will line
horizon of our hopes.

Proclamation!
GENERAL AMNESTY!
By the President of the United t tides.
Washington, July 3. Whereas, in the
month of July, Anno Domini 1861, in ac
cepting the condition of civil war which was
brought about by insurrection in several of
the States which constitute the United States,
the two Houses of Congress did solemnly
declare that the war was not waged on the
part of the North in any spirit of oppression,
nor for any purpose of conquest or subjuga
tion, nor for any purpose of overthrowing or
interfering with the rights or established in
stitutions of the States, but only to defend
and maintain the supremacy of the Consti
tution of the United States, and to preserve
the Union with all the dignity, equality and
rights of the several States unimpaired, and
that so soon as those objects should be
accomplished, the war on the part of the
Government should cease ; and
Whereas, The President of the United
States has heretofore, and in the spirit of
that declaration, and with the view of
securing for it ultimate and complete effect,
set forth several proclamations, offering
amnesty and pardon to persons who had
been or were concerned in the aforesaid
rebellion, which proclamations, however,
were attended with prudential reservations
and exceptions then deemed necessary and
proper, and which proclamations were re
spectively issued on eighth day December,
1863, on the twenty ninth day of May, 1865,
and on tho seventh day of September, 1867;
and,
Whereas, The said lamentable civil war
has long since altogether ceased, with an
acknowledgment by all the States of the
supremacy of the Federal Constitution and
the Government thereunder, and there no
longer exists any reasonable ground to
apprehend a renewal of the said civil war,
or any interference, or any unlawful resist
ance by any portion of the people of any
of the States to the Constitution and laws
of tho United States; and,
Whereas, It is desirable to reduce the
standing army, and to bring to a speedy
termination military occupation, martial
law, military tribunals, abridgement of
speech and of the press, and suspension of
the privilege ol habeas corpus and the right
of trial by jury—such encroachmets upon
our free institutions in times of peace being
dangerous to public liberty, incompatible
with the individual rights of the citizens,
contrary to the genius and spirit- of our
republican form of government, and ex
haustive of the national resources ; and
Whereas, It is believed that amnesty and
pardon will tend to secure a complete .and
universal establishment and prevalence of
municipal law and order in conformity with
the Constitution of the United States, and
to remove all appearances or presumptions
of a retaliatory or vindictive policy on the
part ot the Government, attended by unne
cessary disqualifications, pains, penalties,
confiscation, and disfranchisements; upon
the contrary, to promote and procure com
plete fraternal reconciliation among the
whole people, with due submission to the
Constitution and laws.
Now, therefore, be it known, that I, An.
drew Johnson, President of the United
States, do, by virtue of the Constitution, and
in the name of the people of the United
States, hereby proclaim and declare uncon
ditionally, and without reservation,to all and
to every person, who, directly or indirectly,
participated in the late insurrection or
rebellion, excepting such person or persons
as may be under presentment or indictment
in any Court of the United States, having
competent jurisdiction upon a charge of
treason or other felony, a lull pardon, and
amnesty for the offence of treason against
the United States, or of adhering to their
enemies during the late civil war, with
restoration of all rights of properly except as
to slaves, also, as to any property of which
any person may have been legalTy divested
under the laws of the United States.
In testimony whereof I have signed these
presents with my hand, and have caused the
seal of the United States to be hereunto
affixed.
Done al thb City of Washington, the 4th
day of July, in the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and sixty eight, and
of the Independence of the United States the
ninety third. ANDREW JOHNSON.

referred to the Committee of Investigation.
The President of the Senate ruled that
the General Assembly having adopted the
Howard Amendment, it had the force of law
in the State, though not yet a part of the
Constitution of the United States. Hence
he will not admit persons bound by it.
Mr. Robbins, Senator from Rowan, offered
a resolution, in substance, that North Caro
lina declares that .the fundamental condition
in the Omnibus bill, providing for the read
mission of the State, etc., shall forever bo
held without legal force or effect as to this
State ; and that the declaration is made, not
to obstruct a settlement and the promotion
of the Union, but to avoid the consequences
of a silent acquiescence or approval ot a
doctrine fraught with danger to the rights of
all the States, and of constitutional govern
ment.
Certificates of disabled members in the
House were referred to a Committee.
Two negro Door Keepers were elected in
the House, and one in the Senate.

Grand Jury Presentment.
We, tho Grand Jury of Richmond County for
the present week, make the following present
ments:
Wo would call the attention of the authorities
to the large number of idle persons sleeping and
lounging about the Court House yard, and would
recommend that they be arrested as vagrants.
Wo recommend that the Jailer of Richmond
county be furnished with a new and complete set
of books; also, that the Petit Jury bo paid
promptly the amount (one dollar per day) al
lowed them while in the discharge of their duty-
We find that all the roads and bridges arc in
good condition, excepting tho bridge over Spirit
Creek, on tjie Savannah Road, which, if not
soon attended to, will be the cause of ser.ous
injury; -also the road leading from Spirit Creek
to McTftan Mills is in a very bad condition, and
has not been worked for a long time; and the
bridge on Butler's Creek, at the Louisville cross
ing, which will have to be rebuilt, and would
recommend that lhe bridge be removed three or
four hundred yards above the present crossing,
to the point where the plank road formerly
croesed.
We would also recommend the working and
adding to the County Road, tho road leading
from tho Milledgeville Road, commencing at
Dr. Dugas’, to lhe Washington Road, crossing
the Georgia Railroad at Phiniay’a Station, as of
great importance to travel, and we take pleasure
in commending the faithful and energetic man
ner in which the parties having charge of the
Public Roads have discharged their duties.
Wo have examined the books of tho County
Treasurer and found them to' be correct and
neatly k«q We find that the following amount*
have bran -ended since the let ot January,
1868, a* e; led : For paupers, $8,955.81 ; Poor
House, $4,736.55 ; Roads and Bridges, $2,226.83;
Court Expenses, $5,457.93; Salaries, $250 ;
Printing aud other items, $2,515.10; Balance
cash on hand, $1,946.97.
Wo desire in this connection to call attention
to the loose manner in which funds, placed in
tho hands of Judge S. Levy by the Inferior Court,
are accounted for by him, as appears from tho
vouchers furnished tho County Treasurer.
We would again urge tho proper authorities to
look into tho manner es drawing or selecting
Jurors. Wo notice that a great number are sum
moned to appear at every term of the Court and
never is there a sufficient number present to an
swer the purposes of the Court, which mikes tho
Jury duty very heavy on a few. It appears to
us that there is a law compelling men to serve
as Jurors, .unless a good excuse can be given.
We would recommend that this law be strictly
enforced.
. We have examined the accounts and report of
tho Judge of tho Coubly Court and find them
correct.
Our thanks are duo and hereby tendered to
his honor Judge Gibson for the uniform kind
ness and courtesy extended by him to us during
our term of service ; also to IV. R. MoCay, Esq.,
Acting Solicitor General, for his advice and
assistance.
