The unset tled pet litre! eonditfon of the the ttlrtmpb of the Radicals—«mf the tear es the Bill results of thet triuifrph, ell tend to make capital timorous, nmt to cause its withdrawal. The comm Quence ie that Cotton cannot be sold, country producer* can jet nO ,. , Rj>! l W-j'L, dnst rial enterprise* can not be fmriipu.' ruled, and trade of all kiude ia necessa rily stagnant. Large and tempting stocks of good* are displayed upon the shelve* of merchants, but there are no buyers—there is no money to buy with, and a wholesale credit system will not pay rents, payable in gold and fulling due quarterly; it will not par taxes; it will not meet all the demands exacted of merchants, mechanics, and others. ts there were increased facilities for obtaining monoj—if people could effect loans at reasonable rates, there would, undoubtedly, be a very different state of things, a healthy reaction resulting in the speedy renewal of trade, and the general advancement of prosperity, dint the facilities for obtaining money in this section of the State are exceedingly limited. Previous to the war we had in the City of Augusta a banking capital of about six millions of dollars. Now we have but one bank, with a capital qt only half a million ! What is the result? Loans can be effected at rates which only tho most imperative necessity will warrant. How can the man of small means thrive, if he has to pay 2J per cent, per month for money ? W hy, the man of large capital would soon be ruined at that rate; ami yet this rate has to be pnid, and we have heard of loans effected upon short time, iu private quarters, at even higher rates than these! Previous to tho war money was easy at 7 per cent, per annum. Observe the difference now. What is the remedy for this state of affairs? One plan has been suggested to us, of which we have formed a favor able opinion, and that is to invite North ern capitalists to establish more Nation al Banks in this community, and, indeed, in other communities where the same necessity exists. Two or three of these institutions in onr midst with a capital of, say two million dollars, would necessarily reduce the rates of interest to such an extent as would relieve the monetary wants of the community, and yet leave a large profit ou the capital thus invested. The only question is, is it practicable? We can sec no obstacle in the way, if the capitalists of tho North feel disposed to move in the premises. They need not fear the investment. There is certainly room for them, and a good field for business and profit. They will not only aid the people of this sec tion. but add to their own interests. It is absolutely essential that relief of some kind shonld be afforded, and we 0411 see no better way than the plan proposed. If those most interested in the question would take the proper steps, they might induce the capitalists of the North to come here, and despite their natural temerity and the evil foreboding for the political future of the country, establish the proposed banks, and, thus while benefitting our people secure their own advantage. The Constitutional Amendment. We have already given our views of this subject, as well as those of some other journals, and of leading men of the. South. It ia very evident that the measure can never be popular with the Sonth; for the reason that the Southern people look upon it as a cheat, and its adoption as dishonorable an 3 humilia ting. The Democratic pres3 of the North takes pretty much the same view of it. Wo have already given extracts from the New York World and the Lou isville (Ky.) Journal, advising the South uot to adopt it. We add now the follow ing from the Fonda (New York) Mo hawk Valley Democrat , of October 10 : Thk Radical Ciibat.—Many Repub licans, and organs, are proclaiming as the “Union Republican Platform,” the Constitutional Amendment proposed by Congress, and insists that it is just. There never was a greater cheat sought to -be imposed upon the American peo ple. Th c first section relates to the rights of citizenship, and contains general pro positions quite unnecessary to be embo died in the Constitution, because rights are already sufficiently secured; and the evident intention is to make it the pretext to interfere by Congress with the rights of the States. The second section proposes to change the basis ol ropresenlatiou, so as to com pel tlie Southern States to give sufl'rago to blacks. Now conceding for the sake of the argument, ia in itself just and conceding too ftHough it is not true), that Congress has the right to impose conditions upon the States iu question, yet the Radicals have made it certain that it cannot he mlpoted, because they have joiued it with unother section which disfranchises one-half or two thirds ol t(ho Southern iteople. These sections must be adopted together or not at all. This shows that the object was to keep the-Bouth out till after the next Presi dential election. A bill was introduced by a Republi can, providing fur lliu admission of the Southern Representatives when these amendments should be adopted, but this was voted, down. They say to the South in substance, you must adopt these amendments, but when you do it we will not admit you 1 You must eat this hutch of dirt, aud wheu you get that down wo have another batch ready for yon 1 Accordingly, the Independent, the leading Radical organ, speaking of sec tion two says; “No leading Republican iu Cougress means to admit the ten whiting States simply on the adoption of that amend ment." The Radical Republicans arc, there fore, disutiiotiisls, and their pretence lIIM I*?** u| h might lotto* to by adopts, Ing these amendments, is * mere cheat. They are treating tho South us the' old (Puritans treated the witches. » hen they suspected a woman tbr witoheraft, they took her to lh« nearest pom! and threw her in, if.*h*(wmm tout and hung jpl'C witch 4-w Sine drotqp pd, that her. 4 §* :; , -■ • 1 Fueling in the South. The Augusta correspondent of the Newport 7’*a»Vlu the following letter gives a very fair and interesting state ment ol theTecTingln” ITie Soufh Tn""r~ jgnrd to tho adoption of thtfConstilution al Amendment. At.’oust a, Ua., Friday, Oct. 21, 18(36.- The teltgraphio.uuws bf -the October election* has nos t*nd*d to cheer or en courage the anxious.nml Acjily'jntcr icsled, people of the South. 1 It is not yet (lcliurtcly k noit» to what extent - the Radicals have triumphed, or whether •* Udpablieaa gains" %ee all to be ciyd- Ikfljto the cause of Tbad. Btovensisni; but enough is already ascertained; to strengthen tho feqre whioti have been felt for sometime thpt “the South Ims not yet seen her darkest hours.’’ If (lie bite of those who have figured most prominently in the recant canvastson the Radical sitfe is equttfiq their bark, these fears are fob Well gnullified. If half Which they threaten is- carried out, or even attempted, the ruin which now cov ers the land will seem prosperity coin pared with that which Radicalism WilJ work. And will the. South be tho qnl/ sufferer 1 Wjll. no* Bankruptcy, ufcsdla tion, smothered enterprise and buried in dustry at the South be fell ut the North? Has the North gaitied anything by the Radical effort for the last fifteen months to dissolve the Union by legislation, after four years of war had been spent in preserving it ? , - • The articles iu the Times in favor of the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment, and ■ recommending the Southern States especially to ratify it, have been very generally lead, and with the ros'pcctfui consideration due to , the utterances of a journal which has so ably advocated Southern rights, and so boldly opposed the unjust course.of the Radicals. I have conversed -with many men of influence and intelligence on the subject of the Amendment and the views of the Times, and I have invariably found the same arguments used by al! with whom I have spoken. They main tain, first, that it is a monstrous wrong, and a subversion of every principle of the Constitution and of tree government to insist ou their adopting a fundamental luw in tlie framing of which they had no part, audio, the jsrnimge of. Which they had no voice. They are required, as separate States of the Union, to sanction an enactment from the .consideration of which they were excluded on the theory that they were not Slates in the Union, but conqiler'ei Secondly, they lire stretluously, I may say bitterly, opposed to the third section of the Amendment, which provides that every citizen of every Southern. State, who. ever held a Federal Or State office befoie the war, and who took any part in the rebellion, shall be forever disqualified to hold any Federal or State office, unless he be pardoned by a two thirds vote of Congress. There are various reasons why this section is so universally opposed. Men who are not affected by it, but who, like the rest, voluntarily participated in the rebellion, refuse to tTnkc part lit the po litical outlawry of their more promifmnt follow-citizens, whose fault is not greater than their own, hut whose case is made exceptional because they served the people iu offices to which the people elected them. This feeling is very stroug, and may be said to be unani mous ; for, however Mr. Morse, late of Bridgeport, Conn,, and pow “of Geor gia,” tiKiy any to the contrary, ninety nine hundredths of tho population parti cipated, directly or indirectly, in the rebellion, and gave aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States. But apart from this, the adoption of the Amendment would vacate every civil, iniTTC&ry ah(T"Ju3icml office in tho State —from Governor to Justice of the Peace —from Senator to Town Councilman. And Where, the people ask, could they find men of ability, experience, and character to fill the vacant offices? It i3 the Test Oath enlarged on a gigantic scale, and w<fh!d result in a suspension of government, unless the people im ported officials, or elected Morse or Bry ant, In discussing, this portion of the subject, the names of all the prominent men iu various counties were mentioned asAhesurof which thepeoplc Won I'd think were they called on to elect State officers, and there was not one named who would’ be eligible under this section of the Amendment. Again, my attention was ( ailed to the fact, that the State officials have received ami. now J-.oid the Presi dent's warrant of pardon. Are they, 1 was asked, tp be dispoeaossed of their offices, and tuo Executive pardon an nulled ? It was remarked not long ago, the “loyal 1 ' men in the South. (in this Slate, at ail events,) what ver their merits or claims to the sympathy of the North, are very few in number, not fortunate enough to possess any j art of the popu lar and therefore ought, nyt, td expect tlntt soclety'aml.govern luent roust lie overturned in order to give them the substantial rewards ofollice fqr their pretended opposition to (ho defeat ed cause. Look at the names of the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention of September 3. Would any honest Northern man who is nnialluoticed by passion desire to see Gov. Jenkins thrust out of the Executive Chair to make room fur Mr. Ashburn, or see the venerable Chief-Justice Lumpkin compelled to de scend from the bench to give place to Mr. Spencer oy Mr. Austell 7 It is not astonishing that at lli-i Nnr.lt while the angry. feelings which were caused by the war. still endure, tin rc should boa desire to exclndo from pub lic office 'those who took a prominent partin the rebeljiyp.. nifcn expect this, and regard it as a uat urul result of defeat, which time and cooler judgment will modify. But they, do regard it-as hard that they should he required not merely to submit to it as a part of their punishment, but to exercise the only independence which they are allowed to possess iu inaking ii a pprt of the organic law. . , , On th# question of a , change in the basis of representation, substituting voters for population, there is far lest feeling exhibited, and the 'opposition to this part of the Amendment is much morn moderate. , Wore-it tpade certain that by thy adoption of this portion. ol the proponed ln,w the States Jvoqlrt he at once restored lb the poSse.;siou of their rights and legitimate position in Bin Union, I have not a doubt that many would ho in favov ol the change, and would bd willing even to go further, and grant the suffrage t* ull men, irrespec tive of race or color, who possess a ccr* min property qualification. But as it is, with all thu leading Radicals, in and out ol Congress, emphatically declaring that thc.aJoptionof the. Amendment will nut mih! ih* tlui ix* eluded States, all arguments of ex pediency and conciliation fail to produce anv effect. With a caudor and boldness which half redeem their creel injustice, Mr. t;. voi| i and South ern States tht|Jf short of th| dun • -do* of unqualified tu»grosuflYn|e*ill hcrrohstdcicTni AfifneloTlt guarantee of t heir loyalty and good faith, and that with .conquer-. od territories—dependencies of Congress —which no other blanch of the Usmwsl' Government has *khl power tfi reliefe';’ and that, in fhc meantime, by way of more complete purification, and more reliable gu-.traaleu; for lift' filters, the property ot nineteen-twentieths of the di'vfd’ed atndnir'the iicgro'cs and ” loyal (whites” of the class of Baylor, Morse and Austell. It cannot be expected that the Com Motional Amendment has any in herent attractions for the Southern peo ple. All its advantages are extrinsic. It can only be recottlTTrendcd to them as a means to an end, and the moment they arc told,that,U yvk 11 not ation that fend, it becomes at otic-e obhoxious, and meets with general opposition. Asa fHS‘» WfWVMU *oiH iliaim.ti,»liim jffio homage Ad tee Jl iforil wo'?shipt , rs'*af the' East, who bow down before tho Spirit of Evil in the hope of, him, no advocate of the Aifiendment' can make any headway. Tqe fact is, tlie pimple a-s a masMtmy that,they are no kpiger prilling to try to purchase Radical clem fency, because they have found that at eaen instnllmenl they have paid, the Radicals have advanced the price, and lefusyd to give, .credit for tho past pay fneiits. They have endeavored to prove the sincerity of their renewed fe ality to the Constitution and the laws, And of their acceptance of the adverse judgment which has been rendered at (he trial of arms. Instead of favor and Confidence they have only .received more violent nbw,Snore vehement denuncia tion, and uipye threats of intensified punishment. They are, therefore, un willing to ratify unconstitutional aqtiop and sanction the Radical policy hy any further concessions. They are neither sullen nor do they t,i\ke counsel from passion. On the contrary, they, wp.ijbl respond promptly’ to any ' overture‘of kijidoeas wbieh had conciliation an did Os strife for its object. They resent, however, tho effort which is niado by certain Radical or gans to make it appear that they attri bute their sufferings to President John son’s policy of reconstruction, and that they p ray the Radicals not to visit upon them the President’s sins. Whatever may be tlie faults of the Rbuthem peo ple, ingratitude is not among them, aujj he who has breasted the storm to sa\-S them from, destruction need nevurdtar that they will desert to the enemy and make terms for themselves. While the Southefrr States are ex cluded from Congress and denied their rights, they will not ratify amendments, to the Constitution pro posed hy a Congress where they""were unrepresented. But let them lie ad mitted and the bail removed, and they will consider, nay, concur in, all tlie amendments which the altered condi tion of the country may require. And I am much mistaken if they do not prove far more liberal than tnfe. North supposes. They now fold their arms, determined to grin and bear whatever qomes to them as-“oonquerc 1 prov inces,” as ills which they are powerless tp avert. They acknowledge expedi ency, and would concede much to se cure peace. They are grateful for the counsel of friendship, but they cannot , he persuaded that any concession will appease Radical vengeance, and there fore they are resolved to be passive and hope for the best. 1 have. given in the foregoing what 1 believe to lie a true picture of Southern feeling with regard to the Constitutional Amendment, both as to the merits of the measure and the question of expe diency. Despondency is very, general. Poverty is at almost every doorstep ; and enterprise,.which waited “tilUiUor the October elections,” has closed its pocket book and migrated. . Quondam. Consulting the Wrong Ladt.—Mr. Madispti is said to have had an aversion to ruling in a carriage, complaining especially of the great elevation from the ground of the seats,-in those days of tijemendous barouches. He would have bfeeti Vdighted at our modern frock.' aways.” Frequently on the street Mrs, M idtson would ho in the carriage, while die would he-.on foot upon the sidewalk* or oul itvMie.;wi w »yt alongside, keep ing up a conversation. Once ho had stepped-intoi rt-store to tnnke -some' pur chases, or The like, "and after a loiig detention he returned, but not observing that his Carriage had passed, ami was whiting a few doors on, ho entered one jvhicTi stood opposite, with his customary dpwncast look, without seeing who were its passengers. The famous British order* iu Council were tin anxious and gloomy subject, and. news whicif lmd jtfst arrived absorbed his attention. A Judy who occupied tlie carriage, knoiv irfg his person, was too much embarrased tp speak, and he sat down. entirety nth conscious of her presence. He is known to have talked freely to Mrs. Madison, whose worth and talents are tielleVcd to have often aided his counsels. Sudden ly! arousing from his meditations he ex cltiimed : “O, l>ofly, whit‘shall be done about thes?’Orders ia Go-uucii'? 1 -’! iieco the-lirdy at his side spoke, upon which Mr. MnfiUum started with pain fill a dila tion,. and alien a speechless moment abruptly left thq carriage, He imtiicdh atcly returned, and with his blandest cokirtesy and good liunum apbrogizod, to the great relief ol fim lirdy.
