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. Divine Service. |BV TELEOHAPH.I) 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. By the President: Wm. 11. Seward, Sec’y of Stale. North Carolina- Raleigh, July 3. —In the Senate, to-day, Judge Osborne, Senator elect from Mecklen burg, presented his credentials, which were 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. Governor Holden will deliver bis inaugural to-morrow. From Atlanta. Atlant*, July 3.—ln compliance with telegraphic orders from Gen. Grant, Gen.

Smith Governor of Alabama, vice Patton, Amoved, and A. S. Applegate Lieutenant Governor, which takes effect on July 12th. The prosecution testimony, in the trial of the Columbus prisoners, is strong against the accused. Gen. Robert Toombs is here organizing tho Democratic party. Congressional. Washington, July 3.— Senate: A memo rial was presented asking fifteen thousand dollars fordeepening the St. John’s (Florida) river. The Tax bill was reported and made a special order for Monday, and until com pleted. A resolution to adjourn for the 4th, was adopted, ten Republicans voting nay. The balance of the day was devoted on the Dis trict of Columbia affairs. Adjourned, House.— The Democratic seats are empty. The House considered the appropriations ip Committee of the whole, again rejecting tho Amendment allowing clerks extra com pensation ; and after passing the bill furn ishing the militia of each Congressional District with two thousand rifles, two batteries of artillery, adjourned to Mon day. Washington Items Washington, July 3.—The Corruption Committee’s report covers over twenty column*, without positive facts or assertions. The report labors to show the probability that money was raised and used to acquit Johnson. Tho amount of dirt thrown is amazing—scarcely a friend of the President or a prominent political opponent escapes. Collision. New London, July 3.—The steamers City ot Boston and State of New York collided, at the mouth of Connecticut river, in a fog. Three persons were lost, and many hurt. Both boats were crowded with passengers. Political. New York, July 3.—Papers are full of speculations and streets full of rumors, but no real change in the situation.

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. Augusta,.Ga., July 3d, 1868. 1. Alex. Philip, Forem’n, 10. Osborne M. Stone, 2. Geo. W. Bouchillon, 11- Edward Perrin, 3.
