niEJLARGEST CIRCULATION. AUGUSTA, OA.S SUNDAY MORNING April 8, 1566 Job Printing In Plain and Fancy Colors, neatly, cheaply and promply executed at this Office. Having fait power preasea, the best material, and skilled workmen, enabled ua to do Job Work at the lowest figures and best manner. An Anniversary. Twelve months ago, this day. General Lee, of the then Confederate States Army, with his battalions shattered and exhausted by the shock of battle, sur rounded by overwhelming numbers, ten dered the surrender of his little force to General Grant, of the United States Army. On the classic soil of old Vir ginia this grand historic event of the Nineteenth Century took place; and virtually closed a war, which had, for fjur long previous years, raged with a relentless fury and varying fortunes. True, a desultory contest was kept up in different sections of the South f<£ a few weeks longer; but the surrender of Gen. Lee was, as we have said, the conclusion of the war. Then, the authority of the United States was restored over every section of the “rebellious States,” and its flag floated in triumph all over the Union. That flag, once the symbol of true Republicanism and Constitutional freedom, waved over us all again ; now alas! no loitger as co-equals of the Grand Republic, but as conquered pro vinces and unworthy subjects. The change of condition was bitter, indeed ; but we had “cast our all upon the hazard of the die,” and had resolved to abide the consequences, “come weal, come woe.” Regretful of defeat, yet submis sive to our fate, we calmly “laid down the sword,” and offered our hopes and efforts sacrifices upon the altar of the Union. To the Government which had conquered us we gave our allegiance cheerfully and willingly; asking in re turn only such concessions as a generous and magnanimous conqueror would give. A year has passed since then, and still we are held iu bondage. A Radi cal majority in Congress, selfish and un forgiving, still shuts the door of the Constitution and of Justice in our face. Not only does it deprive us of our rights of citizenship, but it 'strikes a death blow at that Constitution and that jus tice to the beuefits of which all portions of the Union are alike entitled. It passes a bill destroying the last vestige of State Sovereignty, consolidating the Republic into a grand Empire, and sub ordinating the State authorities to the will and the power of the Central Gov ernment ! Against this monstrous in- U nity, and wicked injustice, Andy John son has stood like a breakwater, parting the waves of faction, as they dashed their angry billows against him : lend ing a helping hand to the suffering ' South, and bidding her people hope for the “good time coming” which seems to never come. But the blind fury of ! Radicalism, enraged at his opposition, ; pass the bill over his veto, and force their policy upon the whole country. We have said it was a monstrous iniqui- ! ty ; and it is. In the quotations we j copied from the New York Herald, a j few days ago, its iniquities were plainly painted ;’and the Cincinnati Eufpuirer justly declares its belief that the adop tion of this bill is even worse than the dissolution of the National partnership. Its unconstitutionality has been plain'y and incontrovertibly shown by the Pres ident, and all good men, all true patriots, will mourn the rabid fanaticism which could override the opinions of the states man of Tennessee, and fasten upon an unwilling country a measure so destruc tive of every doctrine of the Constitu tion, every vestige of State Rights, and every principle of justice. But the regret is vain. The hill is passed, and its provisions will be en forced. State Sovereignty is “consigned to the tomb of all the Capulets,” and, Negro superiority is proclaimed by act of Congress. We have endeavored to school our readers to this unhappy change, and to prepare them for the blow which falls with such a heavy hand upon us all. We are saddened but not surprised at the deed ; and though we have but little hope that its practical operation can be prevented, something may yet occur to strengthen the hands of the President against the blind fac tion which is endeavoring to tear up the very foundations of the great temple of Liberty, and to destroy every principle of justice and Constitutional freedom. Twelve months ago the “so-called” Confederate States of America ceased to exist. To-day, unless a merciful Provi dence interfere in our behalf, Constitu tional liberty and State Sovereignty will cease to exist. Still, we must not “de- spair of the Republic.” We must not give up the hope—though it be, alas 1 but a faint one—that not yet has “reason fled to brutish beasts”—that there is enough of conservatism left in the country to defeat the vile schemes of wicked men ; and that this conservatism will rise up as one man to sustain the President, to uphold the Constitution, to annul the unwise legislation of fanati cism, and to preserve unsullied the honor of the Nation. Then shall the “broad stripes and bright stars” of the National banuer give promise of better days, and reconcile us to the fate which became ours by the events of the Bth of April last, and the surrender of General Lee. Then, and only then, shall this anniver sary be stripped of its regrets, and the harmony and prosperity of the Union be secured. Netv Advertisements.

Professor of Medical Ch*oiistry in the Medical College of Georgia. at Augusta; and formerly Surgeon in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL and SUR GICAL JOURNAL, of Augusta, Georgia, was established iu 1830, by the late Professor Milton Antony, the illustrious founder of tho Medical College of Georgia, and has al ways commanded the respect and patronage of the Profession, not only as one of tbo oldest and largest American Periodicals, but chiefly by those valuable original com munications, contributed by the most emi nent, scientific men and practitioners of the Southern States, which have enriched its pages during the past thirty years. Tho volumes already issued, embrace over six teen thousand closely printed pages, con taining more than six hundred original eommuuicatWis from professional men throughout Southern States, besides an immense number of valuable articles, select ed from its uuiplo list of American uud foreign exchanges. During the recent*civil war. the publica tion of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL was necessarily sus pended. At the close of a bloody and dis astrous war, which has ended in the destruc tion and surrender of the Southern armies, and in the destruction and capture of the archives of the Confederate Government, and of the immense stores of medical facts and observations accumulated by the Medical Officers of the Confederate Army, under tho direction of their intelligent and efficient Surgeon General, it is believed by medical men of the highest standing in this section of the South, that it is important to estab lish at this time a Medical Periodical of sufficient size to furnish ample room for the publication of the valuable experience of the Medical Officers of tho late Confederate Army. It will be the earnest effort of the Editor to sustain the former usefulness of this Journal as a medium for the communica tion of the discoveries and advancing doc trines of science and of all the departments of Medicine, and of the facts and discove ries tending to develop tho material pro«- pcriiy of the South, and especially of the vuiuablo Medical statistics and observations of the recent disastrous revolution. In view of the good accomplished in times past by the publication of the SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SURGICAL JOURNAL, the Editor feels no hesitation in urging its claims upon its former patrons and friends. The SOUTHERN MEDICAL AND SUR GICAL JOURNAL will be issued every TWO MONTHS, commencing Ist of July, 1866, and each Dumber will contain ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX PAGES of printed matter, (octavo); tho yearly publication will therefore number One Thousand and Fifty-six pages, and be equal ju size to the largest American and Euro pean Journals. TERMS— Five Dollars Per Annum, in Advance. Subscribers are requested to send forward their names at once, as it is important that the Publisher should have some idea before hand of tho number of copies to be priuted.

Its reliability and promptness in immediately paying all looses, is well known, and renders it an institution of pride to our citizens. Its officers are courteous gentlemen, with years of experience in the business, to which fact, coupled with their eminent fitness for the position, its remarkable prosperity must be mainly attributed. The Era says: Acts Speak ‘Louder than Words —We are gratified to learn on inquiry that the Insurance Company which paid so promptly its loss by the fire on the corner of Whitehall and Decatur streets, is a Southern Company, and none other than that reliable institution of our State, Tbe Georgia Howe Insurance Company ot Columbus, ofwhi'h Mr. Jno. C. Whitner.is Agent. The payment was made within twelve hoars after the first cry of fire was heard, whilst smoke was still issuing from the ruins. No third party cam#forward to sift and feel about for flaws, but the Agent issuing the policy also makes the payment just so soon as satisfied of its justness. We ask our merchants and citizens to note these facts. The cry has been raised that all Southern Companies were totally ruined. The answer to this is, their investments were made before the war, and were neverchanged. '1 heir loss, therefore, was merely the profits and the labors for four years—though some, like the Georgia Home, have even come out better than they entered the war. It is fal-e that they arc insolvent. A most remarkable feature of Southern Companies is the absence of “Special Agents” and “Adjusters” to settle up losses. They go on the presumption that the man they appoint as agent is honest and capable, suffi ciently so to be entrusted with the responsible duty of making out a policy promising to pay you in ease of loss, and sufficiently so as to pay up losses when they do occur. When, there fore, you insure with them, your last transac tion is with the same man—your friend, your neighbor, your fellow-citizen—with whom your first occurred. We do not mean to be sectional in our ad vice, but we do think when we can build up ourselves and our own people at the same cost and with greater advantage to ourselves, it is our duty to do so. There are a number of Southern Companies represented here who are perfectly reliable. Call on that experienced Insurance man and polite Southern gentleman, Mr. Whitner. at MeLamy & Co.’s Drug Store, and he will give you a list that will surprise yon. c. & a. g. hall, Agents of the above named Company, ap4—lin Augusta.
