TO THE PUBLIC.
On the first of January, 1860, the
Avgusta Daily PkEss will % bo re
sumed, and its publication continued
thereafter as an Independent News,
Commercial and Agricultural Journal.
The Daily Press will he published
by Col. C. R. Hani.eitek, a gentle
man whose name is familiar to the
people of tho State, as the editor and
proprietor ol’ the Soulhern Jliscel
lany aud Satipiud Aineriean, at At
lanta, from 1.812 to 1861, ami whose
superiority as a newspaper manager
is recognized by the profession
throughout the entire ,South.
The Local and Commercial depart
ment, which will l»e a speciality of the
paper, will be under the general super
vision of Mr.»John M. Weigle, a
>Southron Ijy-birth aud education, and
who has been personally known from
childhood to allour people, as a steady,
upright, intelligent and honorable
member of the community.
The Daily Pjiess will notchampion

on efirrent events. It.willxSijervftl.be
right to commend that wl 4 Mt is con' 1
mendable, and to rebuke, in dignified
language, that which may be detrimen
tal to the public interests. To con
tribute to the restoration of the old
fashioned prosperity of Georgia, and
the happiness of its people, and to
publish the best and cheapest newspa
per in the State, will be the highest
ambition of all connected with it. I
only ask that the paper shall be judged
by its merits.
Tho Augusta Weekly Press —
containing all the Nows, Market Re

Important, if True.
Wc see it stated, on what seems to
be good authority, that Gen. Grant
informed Hon. E. B. Wasiiburne
and another Congressman, that if
Congress did not repeal the Tenure of
Office bill, he jvould call Congress to
gether after the 4th of March, and
recommend its appeal in a special
message. The law should be repealed,
as it is of at least doubtful constitu
tionality, and ties the hands of the
President to an extraordinary extent.
The Now York Sun thinks it can
not be wrong in announcing that Hon’.
E. B. Washhurne will be Secretary
of the Interior, under General Grant,
ami says that he “will start upon his
duties with the reputation of an hon
est statesman and a merciless friend
of economy in the public expenditures.”
It is very probable that the Sun has
no better authority for publishing this
statement than have had other news
papers for making similar statements
with regard to other aspirants for
Cabinet )>ositions.
Tub venerable Dennis H«ahit will

On the War Path

sens of other States, “We propose no aoct?^,

States, nor its latest 'aiiK mlnientsy but We
will not submit to see our State government,

dictation of a reckless cabal, ns is proposed tp
be done for the third time since the Cqnfod

peal, in that contingency, they must make,
and they will get such a response as will
glnddeti their hearts and promote the realiza
tion of hopes Ion*; since believed to be dead.
It will be seen that “Willoughby”
writes very confidently of Northern
assistance. The people of Georgia
have heard such promises before.
Those men who were loudest in prom
ising aid to the South in 1861 gener
ally turned out to be the most active
among her enemies. If these people
arc in earnest, let them get up an or
ganization with bayonets and cannons,
and trust to the South tt> help them.
Unless they do this, the people of the
South would prefer to cultivate their
farms, and rely on peaceful means to
restore, iu a measure, the old order of
things. The people of the South are
familiar with hardships connected
with the militaiy service, from which
“Willoughby’s” bomb-proof position
protected him.

The present condition of affairs in Georgia
is being investigated before the “.Joint
Committee on Reconstruction,” with a pur
pose of adopting such act ion by Congress as
may seem to them necessary and proper to
insure the faithful and pi'omp'i administration
of the laws, and protection to the rights of
all classes of persons and property.
Certain parlies from Georgia, and auAig
them her present Governor, with the avowed
purpose of inducing Congress to destroy the
present organized government of that State
and remand her people to military rule or to
the dictatorship of a Provisional Governor,
with the army and navy of the United States
to enforce Ins edicts, are representing here
the imperative necessity of a change m the
government of Georgia, on account of law
lessness, anarchy and lack ot protection to
life, liberty and property, and the pcrsoca
tion and cruelty which the white people are
inflicting upon innocent negroes in tluit
State.
It is important to (he .character and inter
estsof Georgia that the truth should Ixku**’™
on these subjects, and <>ne of her n pi'e
sentativwm Congress 1 take the liberty to
’.-’isk you, as an officer of the State, to furnish
me with a brief statement of your personal
knowledge of tie tin'h or falsehood of the
re-presentations which arc being made of af
fairs in Georgia and your opinion of the
effect upon the interest's of Georgia and the
United States of the adoption of tlic above
measures, which are now beifig urged upon
Congress.
My object in thisconimunication is to place
vour testimony Itefore tlic Reconstruction
Committee, which will meet here January 5,
1869, and subsequently, if necessary, before
Congress:
1. Arc the laws of Congress faithfully and
impartially administered ?
2. Is there any organized or unorganized
resistance to the law ?
Are the officers of the law faithful to
their duties?
4. What is the disposition, feeling and i
treatment of the white people toward the
bhicks ?
5. What toward Republicans ?
6. Wltat toward Northern men visiting or
desiring to settle in Georgia?
7. Do the people desire peace, and a re
storation of their proper relation to the
States and Govemn ent of the Union
8. Is there, in your opinion, any necessity
or justification for the proposed destruction
of the present government of Georgia, and
the establishment of a military or pro
visional government?
Please answer ns early as practicable. •
Very respectfully,
YourWbedient servant.

A DEAD UI'SBANP HAS AXOTHEK
Family.—The New Orleans papers
tell of an unsoldierly trick played by
one Captain Hukle, formerly of Spring
field, Massachusetts Hukle cut a
dash at New Orleans early in the war,
and was a great ladies’ man. Very
singularly one day the papers an
nounced his death, and the Captain
said it was too good a joke to be con
tradicted. Soon after he married a
New Orleans lady, resigned his com
mission,. and began speculating in
cotton, in which *he has been very
successfully. All went smoothly until
an unpleasant episode occurred, which
is thus narrated:
A few weeks ago a Mrs. Hukle, from
Springfield, Mu&, arrived in this city for
the purpose of conveying the remains of her
husband, who died in the Spring of 5868,
home for interment. But surprising as it
may appear, the grave of the deceased could
not be found. Almost in despair, she ap
plied to the chief of police for information.
The officer knew a man of the same name,
aud it was Imrely possible that he might be a
relative. Inquiries were set on foot, and the
street and number of residence were found.
Tn company with the chief the widow
visited the house, and was hospitably received
by the rosy-faced matron of the relative,
lie was not in at the time, and she was
courteously invited to stay to dinner. This
she did, anil at the appointed hour the rela
tive came in. But the scene that ensued is
indescribable. in the supposed relative the
lady'recognircd tier husband. Wife second
went into' hysterics; wife the first was pale
and calm. She talked like a preacher and to
the point. Shi' tokl hint he had acted
shabbily, and even ventured to call him .1
villain, bigamist and other epithets not
exactly partaking of the description of en
dearments. He didn’t attempt to deny them.
She was, perhaps, quite correct; but he
begged she would think, of the exposure.
She would do this, 't he five years’ desertion
entitled her to a divorce; a handsome sum
wic put al her disjiasal, and the once sor
rowing, but now incensed wife, took her de
parture,' leaving the gallant Captain sadly
contemplating the unlucky contretemps.
