It is of men like these that the Con stitutionalist says : “ Their genius for soloing vexed ques tions of State is not in the highest condi tion of intellectual health or ingenuity.'' Because they presume to recommend to the people a prompt and hearty cooperation in reestablishing the politi cal position of the States upon the BASIS OF THE LAWS OF COEORKSS, they are thus taunted with imbecility. Misrepresentation. A cotemporary, alluding to a paper that parades in ‘’large caps” the names of Lee and Beauregard, Wade Hamp ton, Longstreet. and two or three other of our bravest, truest and most beloved Generals, as in favor of the new South ern Radical policy, says it is guilty of gross misrepresentation. We presume allusion is made to this paper, as it is the only one that, so far as we have observed, has “ paraded” those honored names in “large caps.” We beg to .ay that we have never ascribed to them any identity with “Southern Radicals.” If to counsel the acceptance of the terms offered to a conquored people, be Radicalism, then are Lee and Beaure gard, and the others enumerated, Radi cals, and not otherwise. The attempt to identify them or us with the Radical party, is a cheap way of seeking to nullify the effect of their arguments. The most mischievous Radicals that we know of, are those mouthing patriots, who never smelt gunpowder, and are now opposing every effort at peace. They are those sentimental warriors who boasted loudly around hotels and bar-rooms, that they could whip five or six Yankees, but who took care to fight them with their neighbors or wife’s rela tious. If they were in Massachusetts, they would be in favor of hang ing Suinner and Tbad. Stevens for their conservatism. Nothing is hot enough to satisfy the ardor ot these impetuous natures. If they keep on, they will get to a congenial climate after awhile! GEOHUIA ITEMS. The youn j people of Rome, Georgia, have a Forrest Dramatic Club. * The Macon Telegraph announces the arrival in that city of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and hopes that her sojourn in the South has been a pleas ant one, and that she finds- the morals of our people much improved since She wrote “ Uncle Tom's Cabin.” The prospect of an abundant fruit crop in the vicinity of Macon, is said by the Macon papers to be good. The sum ot one hundred and ninety dollars was donated for the poor of Macon by Brick Pomeroy—the proceeds of his lecture. Col. Wallace paid into the State Treasury $-50,000 each, for the months of January and February, as net earn ings of the State Road. During the mouth of March the Road did not pay expenses, by reason of the freshet. The Medical Association of Georgia will meet in Gridin on the 10th, and not on the 12th, as stated iu some of our exchanges. It is stated that there is less cotton and more corn being planted in the Chattahoochee Valley this year than last. A garrison of ten or twelve Federal soldiers has been sent to Newnan. The editor of the Herald, does not know why. The Ledger says that the people of Houston county, in spite of the Military Bill, and the hardest times ever known, have paid every dollar of their tax, and without the issuiug of a single execu tion. The Macon and Western Railroad proposes to unite with the Western and Atlantic Hoad to share the expense of transferring freights across the Tennes see at Bridgeport, thus leaving freights us they were before the freshet. The Rome Courier says that Mrs. Victoria Curtis, of Floyd county, shot herself on Monday with a pistol, pro ducing a fatal wound. The shot was evidently accidental, as the pistol was fouud iu her pocket. Dr. N. M. Cook, of Marietta, writes to the Southern Famine Relief Com lnissiuuer a very distressing account of the scarcity of food iu North Georgia. The devastation by the armies was so widespread, and the last year so u nfa vorable for crops, that lew families have an adequato supply of food, and umuy have ueitber food or money. Genarai Sickle*’ Addre** to the Charleston Board of Trade. In accordtac* with w promise yes terday morning, me publish in to day, the addrees of Gea. D. E. Sickles, at the dinner given by the Uharleoton Board of Trade, on Tuesday evening last. It will be read with interest. Qcn. Sickles said : Mr. President and Gentlemen : I thank you for your kind expressions of oonfidence and commendation. Tha relation I bear to the people of the Carolines, while temporarily charged with the supervision of their govern ment, imparts additional interest and gratification to the honor conferred upon me on the present occasion by so many, persons of consideration. I presume some of yoa may expect from me intimations as to my liue of conduct. I shall not, i tear, gratify even a reason able degree of curiosity on that subject. But at all eveuta I may, without de parting from the reaerve imposed upon me by my official position, and its re sponsibilities and duties, tell you what I shall not do. First, I shall not for a moment think of depriving myself of the able and efficient cooperation of my old friend, Governor Orr. [Great cheering.] Nor shall I fail to avail myself of tne aid and assistance of any other civil officer in South Carolina, who performs his duty as zealously and fathfully as I know Governor Orr has endeavored to discharged his duty. [Cheers.] Gentlemen. I am sure I cun add, not only for myself, but for every officer of the army of the United States, serving under my command, that under no circumstances will we sanction any act of injustice, spoliation, or wrong, com milted upon aay citizeu of North or South Carolina. Gentlemen, I offer to yon another assurance ; you have my authority for the statement to capitalists, traders, to manufacturers—to all who desire to embark in your agricultural field of labor, and to all who wish to invest moneys in your securities and in your lands, that the military authorities will do nothing tending to impair the value of your possessions, or to increase the risks of those who have heretofore em barked in enterprise on your soil. Whatever we can do to strengthen con fidence in your resources, and to pro mote the material prosperity of the commonwealth shall be done. I concur heartily in the confident expectations which have been express ed as to your future. lam one ol those who believe that there are few things impossible to Americans. I believe that the civil and political misfortunes, the disasters in trade and agriculture, the privations, hopes and discourage ments you have suffered, aud which would have crushed almost any people who had not extraordinary energies, perseverance and faith in the future, will alt be conquered by the elasticity, vigor and fortitude characteristic of the American people. There is nothing in the history of South Carolina that sug gests that you are an exception to these traits of our countrymen. It may not be unbecoming in me to say, although you would perhaps refrain trom saying so yourselves, that, in the war which has just closed, the people of the South have shown such resources, and the ability to employ them, and such en ergy,' and resolution, and courage, ns will, if wisely directed, surmount greater difficulties than any now before them. I will go further, and venture a sug gestion in reference to your Hue of action. Os course I shall not trespass upon the political arena ; for as to that I am as much disqualified as his Excel lency the Governor, though not by a constitutional amendment. (Laughter.) I shall abstain, as I am required to do by the duties of my position, from any allusion to the political bearing of any matter which you have to consider. With this reservation, let me say to you, gentlemen, in all candor, that one ot the first duties you have to discharge to yourselves and to your fellow citi zens, is to remove all distrust as to your purposes, feelings, amt intentions in the future towards the colored race ; this distrust is, in my judgment, the main obstacle to the cordial cooperation and good understanding of the two races. The causes for the existing alienation should, perhaps, be looked for in the early history of your State and her former institutions. But these are con siderations of the past. I do not see front my point of view any reason why the undoubted identity of interest that does exist, and must ever exist between the white and colored races in South Carolina, shall not result in their pur suing in common all the ends of society and government as heartily and site cessfully as if the old relation of master and slave had never existed. (Ap plause) One method of reconciliation is so nearly allied with the discharge of my own duties, that I will add to this suggestion nu illustration. I think it behooves every white man, nnd most especially every white man of consid eration and influence in South Carolina, to exert that influence, be it little or much, for the fair, honest, and impar tial execution of the laws, which secure protection to person, character and property. Whosoever is concerned—be he white or colored—be he rich or poor —you must carry this resolution with you to the jury box, to the hallol-box. upon the seat of justice, in your muni cipal government, in your halls of legis lation, and to your reconstruction con vention, when it shall meet. Equal justice should be a cardinal maxim, in the polity of your State, not only be cause it is your interest to have a contented, prosperous and happy labor ing population, but for higher reasons, because it is just and right. (Cheers.) If the colored people are ignorant and poor and prone to error, the evident lesson must commend itself to the heart and-conscience of every good citizen, that the poor and ignorant should enjoy the protection of the rich, intelligent, and influential citizen. It is my belief, that when you have convinced the coloreJ people by your laws and your administration of them, that you mean to do them justice, you will have solved the most ditlicult problem you have to consider in your affairs. You will, at the same time, obviate nineteen out of twenty of the instances iu which the exercise of military authority in your affairs becomes necessary. (Cheers.) Mr. President, and gentlemen, allow me to make a remark for the purpose of disabusing your minds of any erroneous impressions in regard to the sentiments of the people of ihe North toward the people of the South. I affirm, as my real conviction, that the measures of Congress now to be executed here, under my direction, have not been adopted with any purpose of retaliation or hos tility, nor to impede or impair the pros perity and wellure of the South. The people ot the North do not desire to maintain a military government any where in this country. They regard that sort of government as repugnant to our institutions, and deprecate its pl'ulonga- lion anywhere a* a misfortan*. They do not desire, on the other hand, that the people enfranchised by their action, shall be left altogether and wholly sub ject to the eoatrol of those by whom they have heretofore been held in servitude. Nor do they desire that this numerous race, by reason of any opprraeioa or obstacles placed in the way of their well being here, where they belong, shall be constrained to ent loose from their moor ings here and emigrate to other and leas congenial parts of the country, where they could find no suitable or adequate demand tor their labor. Other similar considerations have contributed their influence to the adoption of the meas ures now to be executed, it was ap parent that the reorganisation of the political institutions of the South would most speedily terminate the necessity for military occupation and military control. If the presence of troops w s necessary to enforce the rights of the freedmen, the obvious remedy, in a re publican form of government, was to give the enfranchised race, by means of the ballot, the power to enforce respect for their privileges as citizens. The advocates of universal suffrage are cer tainly friendly to the colored people ; therefore it is certain they wish no mis fortune to the communities in which the colored people must continue, fur weal or woe, to dwell. Fur from it. Ou the contrary, they believe that this addition to the representative population of the country, in addition toils military power and its means of production, must re sult, not only in great and substantial good to the nation at large, but that great and substantial blessings must fol low to the people of the South. It is not so much my purpose to convince you that these measures will accomplish the beneficent results contemplated by Congress, as it is to commend them to your judgment aud appreciation in t.ieir true purpose and object, according to my belief; and, also, gentlemen, to as sure you that it is in this sense, and with these hopes, that, so far as my du ties are concerned, these ucts of Con gress will be executed. That the results to yourselves, to your posterity, and to our commou country, may strengthen and endear the ties thafmust henceforth make our destiny inseparable, is my prayer and will be my earnest endeavor. Gentlemen, I commend to you the brighter aspect of the future. There has never been an important experi ment in public affairs, that has not sug gested the gravest doubts and difficul ties, aud especially is this true in the matter of suffrage. Every large addi* tion to the voting population of a country has excited the alarm of many who fancied themselves among the wisest of their generation. When universal suffrage was grained to the white race, it was predicted that it would involve the downfall of the Re public. The naturalization laws, and lie consequent encouragement given to emigration, have brought to our shores millions or Europeans of every race and clime. At the outset it was predicted that this foreign element would revolu tionize our institutions and ureak down our experiment ot free gevernment. Great Britain, in 1832, by the Reform Bill, added a very large number to the voting population of that empire. Many British statesmen maintained then, that as a necessary consequence, the decline and downfall ol England was imminent, if not inevitable. Now we see the leaders cf the Tory party originating and advocating a measure of enfran chisement, compared with which the Reform Bill ol 1832 was insignificant. Gentlemen, I commend to you that in choosing your course you should not assume that every possible danger is inevitable. Take the risk. Do all you can to avert unhappy consequences ; but cling and cleave to the brighter hope. Let us have faith in our good fortune. Let us believe that the benefi cent result is practicable, and if it be true, as many of us have been admon ished to believe, by the events so un foreseen and inscrutable of the past few years—if it be true that in this epoch of war, emancipation and enfranchise ment, we are in the hands of a higher Providence, leading ns to the fulfilment of a destiny we perhaps but dimlv see, let us have faith that that same Provi dence which has conducted us thus far through many hazards and difficulties ot the experiment ot Republican free dom, will yet lead us safely through the dangers and difficulties that now seem to lie in our way. L*t us have faith that in the future, as in the past, liberty and freedom may vindicate themselves against the sneers and doubts of their enemies. The history of great commonwealths proves that in proportien to their free dom they gained in prosperity and power, as in culture and military renown. Power thus developed is conservative to nations and to civilization. It may be that, for a brief period while the new order of' things is in process of adjust ment, the productive capacity of the South will be impaired. Tins cannot last long. The cotton crops raised by free labor last year, under greater dis advantages than are likely to occur again, sold for as much as the largest crop ever raised in the South. Before many years the most prosperous, opulent, and contented agricultural population in the world will cultivate the territory lying between the Potomac and the Rio Grande. In conclusion, let me borrow an illus tration from the most brilliant of mod ern historians. “ Ariosta tells a pretty story of a fairy, who, by some myste rious law of her nature, was condemned to appear at certain seasons in the form of a foul and venomous snake. Those who injured her during the period ot her disguise, were forever excluded from participation in the blessings she bestowed. But to those who, in spite of her loathsome aspect, pitied and protected her, she afterwards revealed ■herself in the beautiful and celestial form which was natural to her, accom panied their steps, granted all their wishes, filled their home* with. wealth, made them happy in love and victorious in war. Such a spirit is iibeity. At times she takes the form a hateful rep tile. She grovels, she hisses, she stings. But woe to those who in disguise shall venture to crush her 1 And happy are those, who having dared to receive her in her degraded, Irightful shall, at length, be rewarded by her in the time of her lieauty and her glory." (Great cheers.) —An absquatulating Radical sheriff of Adair county, Mo., who a short time since went off with $200,000 belonging to the State, has -been arrested in Little Rock, Arkansas. —ln a suit in Georgia, in regard to the delivery of some com, a freed man gave the following extensive evidence : •• I know no mor’n djs.
