the C|«r Ceaacil ate their Official
Orfaa-
Speech of Es-Gov Brown.
The demand for tour paper ton jester-,
daj was so great, on account of the
general anxiety to see the able speech
of Ex-Gor. Brown, at the meeting in
Atlanta, that we republish it on the out
side this morning. Extra copies of the
Paces containing it can be had at the
coanting room, with or without wrap
pers, at five cents a copy. The people
are disposed to surrey the situation for
themselves, and see if there is any
chance to pluck the flower of safety
from the thistle of danger, which now
threatens ns. There can be no harm
in canvassing the propositions so forcibly
presented by the Governor. The ques
tion is.not now what sort of an adjust
ment would satisfy our judgment, and
save our pride, bnt what oan we get
that will save us from military despo
tism and confiscation ; not to what ex
tent we shall submit to the invasion oi
our State institutions—but whether we
shall have any voice in State affairs;
not how best to secure the protection of
liberty and property, but whether, if we
remain passive and silent, we shall have
any left worth protecting. These are
the questions which are presented to the
people of the Sooth, and we cannot
magnify the importance of a wise and
cautious decision upon them.
We cannot counsel inaction or indif
lerence for the proposed adjustment,
for we are solemnly impressed with the
importance of a settlement of the ruin
ous agitation which now distracts the
conntry. While therefore we present
the arguments of Governor Brown, we
leave oar readers to do their own think
ing, and form their own conclusions.
We have published the Military bill,
and we again present the views of an
eminent Georgian concerning the pro
priety of accepting the terms therein
offered. Let every citizen canvass the
question well, and decide in view of the
best interests of himself and posterity.
Let Harmony Prevail.
The people of the South scarcely yet
realize the changes that are engrafted
on-our political system by the passage
of the Military bill. They had hoped
that some good genius would hare soft
ened the hearts of those who control the
Government, and induced them to pre
sent terms of reconstruction less severe
than the subversion of ancient laws and
usages embraced in. this measure. But
it has passed into a law, over the veto
of the President, and nothing is left to
us, in our present condition, but to obey
its provisions as they may be confirmed
by the Supreme Court. It is not only
our duty to yield such obedience, but
our policy to yield it in such a spirit)
as, while it shall command the respect
and confidence of the Government, shall
not invite or provoke the further exercise
of a harsh or vindictive policy. It Tag
to avert such further opppression that
one at least whom the South has trusted
and honored, gave his support to the
bill; and we are willing to ascribe the
same lofty motive s to those who in our
own State or elsewhere counsel the ac
ceptance of the bill as a condition to
reconstruction, and an end to the agita
tion and suspense which have so long
paralyzed the energies of our people.
There may be thoee cast in heroic
monld, or bred in the school of martyrs,
who find occasion for denunciation in
such advice; but it seems to us that the
time for hard words, and bitter feelings,
and political divisions has passed ; and
that the duties and responsibilities of
our position demand the moat liberal
exercise of a spirit of tolerance and
charity. Nothing can be more disas
trous to the South—both iu its effect on
oar material interests and political pros
pects —than division and strife over this
issue. It will not only draw off our la
bor from the fields to the hustings, and
thus add to our distress for bread, but
give a semblance of troth to the asser
tions of those who accuse us of a spirit
of rebellion and costumely. The indi
cations are unmistakable that many of
our people are not disposed to appease
those who coutrol the Government by
the voluntary acceptance of terms which
are deemed to be harsh, uunecessary,
and unconstitutional. If it evident that
they prefer to accept the logiu of events,
and to trust to that Providence who has
sustained them through so many trials, for
wisdom and patience to await such de
liverance as is in store for them. Re
cognizing the majesty of the people,
and profoundly impressed with the dan
ger and tolly of division and strife in
such a crisis, we shall relrain from any
attempt to concentrate public opinion
on any given policy, at present, hoping
that the developments of the future will
reveal a clear way through which we
may escape from the perils which en
viron os, and caeure constitutional lib
erty for ourselves and our posterity.
XMtlnf lb fWa* County
At a meeting of th# tW«n»
Thomas coonfy, held to eo« aider the
political .UuKion, tha followiq* pK
acable and repletions w -Xfored by
The people of Thomas county, es
se tabled in pnmary meeting to eoaeidsr
the political condition of the country,
and-the relations they sustain to the
Quvctruqisulof the United de
sire to give expiqamon to tha following
views:
We believe now that the amendment
proposed by tha 89th Onaress, to be
made to the Constitution of the United
States, ought to have***** ratified, and
that the action of the several Legisla
tures in the Sooth rejecting it was un
fortunate, and likely to prove a positive
injury to us as a people.
It is possible Congress would have
regarded such action on our part as
satisfactory evidence of loyalty, and ac
quiesced in it as a final settlement of
the vexed question of reconstruction.
It is certain they construed its rejec
tion as evidence of disloyalty, and have
imposed upon us terms much more hu
miliating. Sherman's bill not only
makes the same requirements of us the
proposed amendment did, but in effect
destroys our State governments and all
their machinery, and substitutes there
for a military government for the time
being, and deprives the States of juris
diction over the suffrage question.
Can any state of things be worse than
this ? Is there anything in it inviting
or desirable ? To fold our arms in inac
tion, and say we cannot help ourselves,
that we must acquiesce in whatever
Congress says or does, and in sullen
aileuce grieve over our troubles and
misfortunes, is not a manly way to meet
the question.
Let us be up and doing, let ns study
the temper and spirit of Congress, and
see if we cannot do something to soften
their resentment, to modify their views
and give things a pleasant direction.
Let us review our own action in the
past and see if we have done anything
that we ought not to have done, or
omitted the performance of any duty on
our part. Have we acted well and wisely ?
The experience and observation of the
last few months bas thrown soma light
upon our path. We see now the rejec
tion of the proposed Constitutional
Amendment has aggravated the evils of
our condition ; it is taken as evidence of
' opposition to tne Government, and the
temper of the people of the North to
wards us is growing worse aud worse
every day.
Congress is growing more and more
radical; the President is powerless to
save ns, and our friends inCougress are
disheartened. We, as a people, are tired
of the suspense and anxiety in which we
are. We desire a stable government, a
government of laws, to be administered
by civil magistrates.
Let ns, then, retrace our steps, ratify
the Constitutional Amendment, and ask
Congress to accept it as a final settle
ment of the troubles; and appeal to
their sense of justice and magnanimity
to relieve our whole people from dis
franchisement.
We may be asked what “assurance”
have you that Congress will accede to
the proposition ? We answer that we
have none, but that -vbich is to be found
in an innate sense of right and justice.
Let ns do all we can and ought under
the circumstances by which we are
surrounded, and leave the consequences
to God. “He will make the wrath
of man to praise Him, and the remain
der of wrath lie will restrain.” There
fore, be it
Resolved, That his Excellency, Gov
ernor Jenkins, he requested to convene
the Legislature of Georgia in extra
session, at an early day, to the end that
they may review their previous action
in rejecting the amendment to the
Constitution proposed by the 39ih Con
gress, and that they may consider the
propriety of adopting the same, and
proposing it to Congress as a final
settlement of the vexed question of re
construction.
Resolved, That in the event of failure
to accomplish the end, proposed in the
fir.t resolution, the Legislature, in con
nection with the Governor, be requested
to take such steps and adopt such meas
ures as may be necessary to form a State
government at the earliest practical day,
and thereby shorten military rule and
establish a government ol laws to be
administered by civil magistrates.
Resolved, That a copy ot this pream
ble and resolutions be forwarded to
Governor Jenkins, and that he be re
quested to confer with the Governors of
the several Southern States iu reference
thereto; and
Resolved, further, That copies of
these resolutions be forwarded to Thom
asville and Savannah papers for publi
cation-

Public Meeting.
Mr. Editor :In deference to the
opinion of those whom the writer
respects, and iu acknowledgment of the
fact that, upon a subject of such trans
cendent importance, the people should,
in deciding pro or con, be if possible, a
unit, the proposition for a county meet
ing on Saturday, the Uth inst., is with
drawn. In the meantime it is hoped
that the subject will be thoroughly can
vassed by the citizens of the county, so
that all available light may be thereon
thrown. Apropos, will not some of our
citizens address a letter to Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens, aud ascertain his
views upon the vital question now en
gaging our thoughts? Mr. Stephens’
opinion would have great weight with
the masses, and his great mind would so
elticidute the subject as that differences
of opiuion would be measurably harmo
nized. Citizen.

Tcrpsxtine from Petroleum. —A
letter from London states that scieutific
experiments made there have resulted
in extracting turpentine from petroleum.
The process is said to be a sate one, and
it is added that turpentine obtained by
it can be produced at one-third the
price that lias been heretofore paid for
tbe same article from the Carolina*.
—A country editor is an individual
who reads newspapers, writes articles
on any subject, gets type, reads proof,
folds and mails papers, prints jobs, runs
errands, saws wood, works in the garden,
talks to all who calls, receives blame for
a hundred things which are no one's
busin.ss but bis own, works from 6 a.
m. to 10 p. m., and frequently gets
cheated oat ot half of his earnings.
the Mercury MofOtt" —
This time honored guide lor the aris'
tocracy and people of our sister State
cloeee a leader, laudatory of Pre*ldeu t
Johnson's Vet# Ueeaage, on the Sher
man fctll, and recommending i nation,
with Aha following paragraph, tiihicli
would have beeu in remarkable good
taste daring the war, but will now he
used as a strong argument by the Radi
cals, to prove the insincerity ot* our-toft
repeated assertion that we accept, in
good faith, the result of the war:
“ Standing fast by the great principles
for which wa have fought 4. e. the
sovereignty of the States and the insti
tution of shivery—would be ‘ ‘passive
resistance" to Ike loots vs the United
States.
“Let ns not yield ourselves to such a
a policy ; but. standing fast by our
country —standing last by the great
principles fur which we have fought—
standing fast by our vital and dearest
interests —do nothing fourther to degrade
ourselves; but, relying on the justice
of our cause, and ou Him who rules the
affairs of nations, seek protection and
redress in all the ways the Constitution
affords—uninfluenced by fear or ignor
ant apprehensions.”
Referring to the influence of their
fears, and to their ignorance of public
questions, seems a favorite plan for
preventing the people from taking into
immediate consideration the great ques
tion of their, material safety-
We may be sneered at by our chival
ric brethren over the river for even
suggesting national questions as being
too ranch of the pocket, and too little
of that high toned sentiment in which
onr people have indulged for many
patnfal years that are past, but we can
but feel that tha present is a time when
our people must look for that which will
surest feed the wife and little ones at
home, aud save the property and pros
perity left then.
When we are not in ueed of corn Rnd
clothing contributed by our so called
enemies, we may indulge in highfalutin
articles upon the courage, honor, etc.,
etc., to be shown by passive resistance
to the laws of the United States, and
refusal to seenre to ourselves what will
fall to others if we neglect it.
Is Virginia in ire Union.—The
New York Times of the 25th has the
following dispatch:
Capt. Olnev, of the steamer Washing
ton Irving, and his counsel Judge Dean,
attended before the Governor this after
noon -in the matter of the . requisition
from Governor Pierpont, of Virginia.
Judge Dean took the ground that Vir
ginia was not a State in the Union, and
consequently no requisition from any
person claiming to be Governor of Vir
ginia was entitled to consideration. Gov.
Fenton declined to hear argument on
this point, but consented to hear argu
ment on the merits of the case. Affida
vits were read showing that the vessel
was not in possession of the Virginia
aathorities, but was held at the time of (
the alleged rescue by the United States
Marshal. Capt Olney was himself sworn
and examined by the Governor and
Attorney General. He showed that the
vessel was on the high seas when seized,
and out of the jurisdiction of Virginia.
The Attorney General is to reply to
morrow. Judge Dean insisted that there
was no crime charged in the requisition
papers, and cited Gov. Seward’s decis
ion in 1839, in like questions arising
with the States of Georgia and Vir
giuia.
—Secretary Seward has lately insured
his lite lor one hundred thousand dol
lars.

MANIPULATED GUANO!
This article is being prepared by us at our place of business
In this City, where we invite Planters and others interested lo cal! and examine our
stock, and witness the preparation of tha above named MANURE, it is composed
entirely of pure and unadulterated GUANOS (ol whioh 25 per oent of the whole mixture
Is warranted to be pore No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package
of U to contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as the sample analysed by
Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows:
Chiklestoi, 8. C., February 16th, 1867.
Motors. Wilcox, Qibbt <fc Cos.:
Gehtlexe* : The following is my aaalysis and report npon tkn sample yen have
plaoed in myhandr, of Wilecx, Gibbs i Co.’s Manipnlated Gnano i -r
Hygrometrie water _ 18.60
Combined water and organic matter rich in ainmoniaoal salts 18.00
Phosphate of lima - 44.50
C rbonate of lime 1.80
Insoluble silieions matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80
Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.30
< 100.0#
The present sample ehows a very advantageous mixture. It has enongh of Peruvian
Guano (nay 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while tha great bulk of the preparation
is obviously an unadulterated natural Gnano, rich in organic matter, with considerable
already formed Ammonia (and the material for its continued production uc required by
the crop), together with 44.50 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two per cent, of
which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hazard in
predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will be placed in
an effective condition for any crop.
Very respectfully, youre, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD.
Knowing the composition, at well as judging from the analysis and report of Prof.
Shepard, we are confident it will prove to be an exeel ent MANURE, and pay any
Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the use of 175 to 200
pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied
the same as other Guanos—nnder the bed for Cotton, in the hill for Corn, and broadcast
tor Wheat. This Guano is ready for use, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground,
and the whole passed through a seive before packing, and it is e very handsome articla
in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels oi about 300 pounds, and bags of
200 pounds, and the prioe will bo uniform, as follows : $65 per Ton of 2,000 pounds,
Cash.
Our Agents will sell at the same price, with necessary expenses added.
We are now prepared to deliver this Guano iu quantities to suit, and solicit orders
for the same, which will be promptly filled.
We will also keep, both hero and in Savannah, a good supply of Pure No. 1
PERUVIAN GUANO, which will be sold at tha market price; also, Pure No. 1
PHCENIX GUANO, at $55 per Ton of 2,000 pounds, in Savannah, or S6O here—Cash.
