The distinguished gentlemen, who has so long led the extreme radicals of Congress, seem* to have lost his au thority and influence with that party. Beaten in his own State, in a race lor the Benatorship, he finds himself now in a minority in the United States House of Representatives. This must be exceedingly mortifying to the gen tleman from Pennsylvania; but it is exceedingly gratifying to the patriotic conservative people of the whole country. It is, in effect, the very best evidence that the people of the North are begin' ning to realise the evil effects of harsh measures, and are willing to be guided by more patriotic and harmonising influences in the future thnu they have been in the past. Surely, this must be gratifying to every one who desires to see our. National difficulties settled, and peace’ and prosperity restored to the Whole-Union. On bis attempt to force his reconstruc tion \»ill through the House, Hr. Bing ham moved to refer it to the Committee on Reconstruction. Mr. Steveus pro tested and expostulated ; but in vain, saying that its reference would be equiv alert to killing it, Mr. Bingham de sired that the House should decide that question. And the bill was referred. Mr. Stevens is correct. His bill is, bv this reference, effectually killed; and why? Because the Reconstruction Committee is not working and has not beeu since the commencement of the present session of Cougress, which is evidence sufficient that nothing is to be done in that line by that Committee. As well might Mr. Stevens' bill have been “consigned to the tomb of all the Capu lets” at mice. Having thus discarded Mr. Stevens’ leadership and Mr. Stevens’ policy, the question arises who will assume his place, and what will he the next policy ? Mr. Julian says that he desires to keep the Sonth out ot representation in Congress indefinitely) This would be much more acceptable to the South, than*wou!d be some of the Constitn tional Amendments, Enabling Acts, Hiid Territorial]jjation Schemes, which have been suggested. Still, it would be better to have the difficulties settled effectually and promptly. The country cannot afford «to wait—the North no more’than the South. Every branch ol agriculture, commerce, and industry, is paralyzed by distracted state of our political admits ; and to relieve these of their embarrassments and hindrances, and again on the high road to prosperity, is a duty-of. the highest impcrtance. Now, that Mr. . Stevens and his policy are out of the way, let the Conservative Republicans, the bem ocrats, and the President,. unite upon some definite and moderate policy, which will settle all political, difficulties and unite the sections once more. Doing this, they wiH acquire a proud fame, and sfedure the admiration and grati tude of their patriotic fellow country men. The Culture of Cotton. In a multitude of counsels there is said to be wisdom—but the variety of opinions in reference to the true plant ing policy of the South seems to lead rathe* to confnsion and general distrust One argument is that in Cotton alone rests our hope of recuperation; while others with equal zeal declare that it wonld be wise for the South to abandon Cotton altogether. The truly wise poli cy no doubt lies between these two ex tremes. We are among those who be lieve that while.we should rely upon Cotton as ear main source of revenue, we should at the same time raise our own provisions. It may be true, that with a favorable Cotton year we can make more money by raising that sta ple, and buying our corn, floor and ba con. It is also true that in doing this we unduly exhaust our lands, and take away very largely of their value and future capacity for prolitable culture. It is also true —as the experience of thou sands in all portions of the South is now bearing testimony—that if our Cotton crop fails, and we raise no grain or meat, we are poor indeed. The uncertainty of procuring an ade quate supply of labor for the culture of Cotton is'an additional argument against overcropping in that staple to the neglect of thp granary uqd meat house. Freed men will work. 1 at any other crop more readily than Cotton. They shrink before the continuous toil of the Cotton field; and white iiiusc-le shrinks from it also. Therefore, with onjr present sys tem of labor, it is manitestly the true policy to let the first concern bo to raise food eirongh for man-and beast, and then raise jW a* much Cotton a* pujti bl*. We are not of those who fear that the crop of the Squib can soon be made to exceed the urgent neede of commerce. But we oo» not eat Cotton, and we have no assurance of such a harvest as will afford surplus means with which to buy the staff of life. Columns might be written in support of the suggestions thus hurriedly thrown out; but It appear* to us that to state them i* to prove their application to the preednt need* of the country. LETTER FROM MARIETTA. Country View of the SI,OOO Bono*. k'irnA Word* from the Interior. Marietta, Ga« Job. 27, 1867. Editor Daily JVvm.—Your sub scribers outside your city have been somewhat interested in the manner in which yo* have been treated by yoer editorial brethren in the recent affair of the telegraphic reports. We cannot say that we rightly understood all the points in dispute until your expiation in your paper of the 20th inst; perhaps we do •ot understand them now, but one thing is plain enough, you have been com pelled to pay one thousand dollars for nothing—without the slightest consider ation in return, and under compulsion. The payment was as much compul sory as though you had been saluted with “Stand and deliver—yonr money or your life!’’ for in these days the life of a daily newspaper depends upon ite furnishing to its subscribers the latest news, only attainable by telegraph. This is so well known, even by those outside the editorial profession, that when, fbr receiving those reports, there is imposed upon a paper a condition which is, or is supposed to be. impossible of perform ance, all understand that it amounts to an attempt upon the life of the paper. Your neighbors possibly thought that they had your lile in their power, and according to the laws ot war, as ex pounded by Butler in New Orleans, it was generosity to spare your life at tha expense of your spoons. They certainly come up to the scriptural definition of good neighborhood, though in a per verted sense, “As ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also by them,” for they did “do” you as yon were “done" by them. We cannot see, with the lights before us, upon what possible ground the exaction was justified, except as a pun ishment upon you for patrouizing an other shop where telegraphic news had been sold. When we country people, allow a neighbor to draw water from opr spring, if we should think fit to charge him at any time for the privilege, it would never enter our beads once to make him pay for the water, we and our family had used out of the spring for years perhaps belore he comineuced using it. But this seems to be the prin ciple your neighbors act on ; they not only make you pay for what you are to get, but for what they have got before you commenced drawing from the same source. Suppose your paper had been just established, and before the first nomber was printed you had applied lor ihe telegraphic reports, according to their rule you would not only have to pay for the dispatches you would have to receive in future, but also for those they had received and had the benefit of in the past, and which perhaps you never saw. The justice of such a pro ceeding is incomprehensible. The readiness and promptitude with which yoa were able so quickly to an swer so large a draft apon the resources of the Diir.r Press, will give your patrons assarance of the stability and prosperity of your paper, if they needed any evidence to that effect beyond the indisputable fact that it has attained a larger circulation than any paper in Augusta, and you ought to be proud that you are able to contribute a portion of your “spoons” to the support of your brethren. “If thy brother hunger, feed him, if he thirst give him drink.” You have done so, and, doubtless, your fra ternal love and Christian charity will meet its reward. You seem to appeal solely to the good people of Augusta to support you against persecution. Let me tell you that the “good people’’ of the country are just as ready to revolt against any thing which wears the appearance of an attempt to “crush out.”. Your already great and rapidly increasing circulation in the country is an evidence that the Daily Press is appreciated, aud, besides, I *we cannot now afford to pay ten dollars for a paper, when we can get j ast as good for Jive. There fore you 'heed not doubt that the re wards which attend energy, enterprise, and industry, will soon be yours. Kiokee. The Cretan Insurrection. The Cretan insurrection, which was lately reported to be virtually st an end, has suddenly assumed an nnoxpected impor tance, and seems in some danger of dis turbing the harmony of Europe, by drawing Grdefce into a war with Turkey. A conference of European powers is talked of, but it is not likely that any thing will deter the Turkish authorities from putting down the rebellion in Crete. : It is a question whether, in case of war witli Greece, Russia would inter fere against Torkey; bnt there is evi' ( dently some sympathy felt in Russia for the insurrectionists, as evinced by the presence of the Czar and members of the Imperial Court at a ball given in St. Petorsbnrg for their benefit. Off the other hand, would be likdlf to oppose Russia in any aggressive movements hgainst’ Turkey, fearing to lose her interests in the Mediterraneans England would probably hold aloof]! 1 while Italy would, if Bhe interfered at all, naturally become the ally of Greece. P. W. Alexander, who wrote the pop ular “P. W, A.” letters during the war, has located in Columbus in the practice of law. Latt«n from an Ex-Rebel, to Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev. Henry Ward Baaoher. NUMBER 11. 8 IRS : In my first letter I promised to endeavor to convince you that when the “rebel States" laid down their arms, they abandoned lorever all hope ol sepa rate independence, and submitted, iu good faith, to the Federal Government; and that when they renewed their alle giance, they meant what they said, and their subsequent acts have fully illus trated their sincerity. Os the hundreds of thousands of Con federate soldiers who, prior to the 9tl> of April, 1865, were engaged in making war against the United States through out the immense territory lying between the Potomac and the Rio Grande, with the exception ot a few who went into exile, there was not one who had not, before the end of May, surrendered his anus and accepted a parole from the United States military authorities, which gave him permission “to go to his home and remain there undisturbed,” on con dition of not taking up arms against the United States until properly relieved from the obligation of his parole.” I have not heard of one man of any rank, from the general to the private, who has not scrupulously fulfilled the promise, or who has been accused of having done or said aught which could be tortured into a violation of his obligation. • I know, personally, thousands of those soldiers. I remember their return to their homes, maimed, wounded, foot sore, in rags, penniless, and hungry, and I do not know one who did not immediately apply himself industriously to earn an honest livelihood, obey im plicitly the authority to which he had submitted, observe the law. Bnd main tain the public peace. The army con strued the surrender as a treaty of peace concluded between the Federal and Confederate commanders, and they felt it to be the duty of each man to observe the stipulations of that treaty in perfect honor and good faith. They all believed and acknowledged that they were again citicens of the United States, bound by the Constitution and laws, uud owing and owning allegiance to no other power. The unanimity and the promptness of the surrender, even by large bodies ot - troops who were not immediately men aced by any opposing force aud who could have kept the field aud maintained their hostile organization long after Lee and Johnstou had given up their stand ards, proves that the submission was universal, honest, and without equivoca tion, and that when they gave up their muskets they gave up all hope of the independence of the Confederate States. There was no turbulence, there were no acts of outrage or riot. As regiment after regiment stacked their arms and accepted paroles, their members dis persed to seek home and.peace. Never in the history of the world was the dis bandonment of so large a. number of soldiers so free Iron) every act which could provoke censure or resentment; never was there a surrender in which all show of resistance was so promptly and completely abandoned. This has been frequently admitted by your officers and by many of your public men. 1 may plead it, therefore, without fear of con tradiction, and with confidence that can dor and impartial judgment will allow that the men who acted thus were sin cere iu their submission, and not unwor thy of the confidence of those to whom they yielded. It was subsequently required that all who wished to avail themselves of the President’s amnesty, and that all of those who, falling within one or the other of the excluded classes, sought a special exercise of executive clemency, should take the oath of allegiance to the United States. As soon as this re quirement was made known, old and young, male and female, soldier and civilian, obeyed the order, and “solemnly swore in presence of Almighty God that they would henceforth support, protect, and faithfully defend the Constitution of the United States, and would in like manner abide by and faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made dining the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves.” The records of the Department of State will bear testimony to the unanim ity with which this oath has been taken. Where is the record of any department, court, or official authority which shows that any one has failed to observe the letter and spirit of this obligation? Did the people take the oath reluctantly? Were they compelled to take it by threats of punishment, or subjection to disabil ities ? Was there any class that dis played stubbornness or unwillingness to reuew his fealty to the Coustitutiou and laws ? The same records whose teadithD uy I have invoked, will furnish full an swers in the negative to all these ques tions. And if this be so, may I not claim that when these people renewed their alliance they meant what they said ? Yes, gentlemen, they meant what they said. They Imd forever abandoned the hope of separate independence,'and in renewing their allegiance to the Government aiid laws whose] yoke thejf had unsuccessfully struggled to shake off, they accepted the situation in all Its parts, and sealed the covenant of peace, when they pressed with their lips the iloly Evangelists oi God on which they swore. Have they done or said anytliing in contraventioii ofthe Constitution ? Ravi jihey not abided by and.fiiilbiully olp-, served the laws aud proclamations in reference to the emancipation of slaves ? Have they showed rustiveness under au* thority, or disobeyed, of eveu efided' any law or regulation emanating from duly’ constituted authority ? ~ When you hear them acapsed of having acted in bad faith,* that their ■ubmiision is a sham, their oaths per jury, and their obedience to law a cun ningly deviled scheme to lull the aua picions of the North, end induce you to abate your demand* of security and mitigate your sentence of punishment, does not your conscience tell you that the accusation is false, and do not your hearts admonish you that crael injustice is being done ? They have not professed any affection for your peop)e r becaase they do not feel it. They have not professed repentance for their effort to achieve independence us for a sin or a crime, because they do not believe thatlbey were guilty of either. They have not sought to prove the sin cerity of their suomission by servile supplication or appeals to mercy, be cause their manhood revolts agaiust de basement, and because they believe that such voluntary degradation would be the best proof that they were unworthy if confidence and the association of honest men. If the people of the State of Georgia had met in mass meeting, "Aid had resolved and subscribed the resolutions with thsir names, that their act < f secession and their subsequent acts o* war were infamous crimes, which they repented in sackcloth and ashes ; that Jefferson Davis is a petjured as sassin ; Robert E. Lee a faithless renegade, unworthy of credit on his oath, aud all their leaders infamous criminals, worthy of a felon's punish ment ; that defeat has taught them to love, with all their hearts, the people who vanquished them, and that there is no act of self-abasement they are not ready to perform to purchase forgive ness ; that the only honest men in the State are Morse, and Cole, and Austell; and that while they acknowledge their heinous crimes, they plead their present love to wipe out their offence. Would you —would any other honest mat) be lieve suc.l resolutions ? Would you— could you respect or trust the people who would sign them as you would trust them now? But, they have not cringed, they are “stiff necked.” Because they have not bowed to the dust, they are “unsub dued.” Because they bate not cried, Miterecordc, they must be “crushed.” Because they do not turn to caress those who revile, insult,' 'and wrong them by every word they niter, they are “disullected,” and their oaths of loyalty are peijury. 1 teli yoq,. furthermore, though they will never (awn to power, or conciliate the oppressor by servility and di.-siinu lation, they are as loyal to the Constitu tion, as obedient to the law, as faithful to their obligations, as honest, as worthy of confidence as you ure, and that, at this moment, there are no truer citizens of the United States than those of whom your parly and your people continually speak as rebels, perjurers, and traitors. ■ Special Notices. jgjgp~ENOCH LODGE OF PEIIX FECITON.—The Regular Meeting will be held THIS EVENING, at 7 o’clock.
