About lb« lime that ibe National
Fxpre«» end Trmaporte'iou Company
Wag failing, a concern itarted upon a
•imilar plan—with the military peneion
feature omitted —and went into opera
tion throughout the Northern and \?cst
ern Stales, with a subscribed capital of
twente millions of dollars, upon which
but ten per cent, was to be called for.
The promises and expectations of the
managers not haring been realised,
calls upon the stockholdar* for more
money hare been made, until twenty
fire per cent, has been paid in upon all
stock, except such as may hare been
given away to secure friends. A tall
lor a still further sum ot ten per cent- is
made, and without which, the Company
roust wind up. Stockholders, to avoid
being compelled to pay this, and more,
are praying injunction and other legal
means, to relieve themselves, and stop
further operations and outlay by the
Company.
While we do not believe there are any
of our readers hereabouts so unfortunate
as to be stockholders, we publish the
following full statement from a Buffalo
(N. Y.) paper, to show bow easy busi
ness met: and capitalists are led into
these visionary schemes for money
making. We attribute it to the demor
alization which has crept iuto commer
cial and financial circles during the
rapid changing of value in the cnrrency
during the war:
MERCHANTS’ UNION EXPRESS COM
PANY—MORE FIGURES.
From tbe Buffalo Courier, June 30.]
Editor Cocrisr— There bas now been
paid into the treasury of the Merchants’
• nion Express Company the sura of
$1,950,500, being tbe result of calls to the
amount of 25 per cent, on twenty millians
•it capital stock, less $50,000 not paid in.
From this sum deduet $1,250,001), amount
paid on real estate, cost of equipment, etc.,
and wo have as the result $3,700,000. Now
we assume, as we have the right to do, that
the gross earnings of the Company arc
equal to the expenses, there should be, at
this moment, in the strong box of the M. U.
K. the above handsome surplus, vil.:
$3,700,000.
With these facts in view, I am perfectly
astonished to learn that the shareholders in
this Company are to he called upon for still
another assessment upon their subscriptions
the amount this time being ten per cent.
What need of this call, if the Company has
on hand, as wo have shown, nearly four
tuillious of dollars? What need of this call,
when the previous assessments on the stock
exceed, by one huudred per cent., the origi
nal promises of the managers? What need
of this call, in the face of such declarations
as the following, from the circular issued
hv the Managers on the 26th of Janoary
last: “Every obstaclo in onr path, thus far,
has been put out of tbe way,” "our Com
pany is no longer an experiment.” “Com
luuuicatiuus to shareholders, hereafter, will
consist of notices of dividends declared out
of the net earnings of the Company.” These
arc proper and important questions, and,
as such, should be carefully pondered by
those interested.
Now if the $3,700,000 previously alludod
to is not in the Company, where is it ? Un
questionably, if the managers arc honest—
and there isco reason to think otherwise—
it has been sunk in the transactions of the
concern. And if it has so been sunk, what
is to be thought of the sagacity of the
managers and the chances of the success of
the enterprise—and who wishes to put
m- re money into such an insatiate hopper?
I cannot think that any stockholder
who is blessed with ordinary common
sense, and who bears in mind the fact that
there are nearly $4,000,000 in the treasury
of tbe company, and therefore another call
is an insult, or that ibis large amount has
been squandered, and therefore another cull
is an outrage —I cannot think, I repeat,
that any stockholder who is endowed with
common sagacity and prudence will, in
these circuins ances, consent to submit
Limself to any furthur tortures in the way
of financial phlebotomy, at the hands of
tho leeches of the Merchants’ Union. If
there is such an one he deserves to wake
up, some fine morning, and ascertain that
be has been ogrogiuusly and humiliatingly
diddlod.
The real estate, equipments, etc., neces
sary for the operations of tho company,
having been purchased and paid for, there
is nothing to do in the future except to
provide for current expenses. And since
the trustees promise to next communicate
with shareholders in the form of dividends
declared out of the earning* of the company,
aud it is not usual for dividends to he de
clared until expenses are paid, there should
be no trouble upon this score.
The simple fact is, Messrs. Editors, that
the Comp&uy has sunk in an insane attempt
to keep its head above water—most of the
money paid in on calls, as well as its daily
earnings—and that this last call is merely
made to sustain the concern from day to
day, to suit some hidden purpose on the
part of tbe managers. Ecce tiignum. A
Western trustee informs me that the Cleve
land meeting was called for the express
purpose of showing the trustees that there
was no money in the treasury, and that,
without another call, wh\eh the managers
dare not make without their sanction, the
enterprise must go to the wall. In view of
which fact, the stuff which was sent from
Cleveland, by telegraph, in relation to the
meeting, leads very much like tho platitudes
of Sylvauus Cobb, Jr.
For one, I shall not honor this new call.
Aud if somebody who is clever at such
things will show me in what way I can
recover the money I have invested in the
concern, ho shall be handsomely remember
ed in my will. Padlock.
[Communicated.l
The Will of the Conqueror.
Mr. Editor : In askin" you to pub
lieh the practical, sensible, solflier-likc
letter of Gen. Thompson, permit me to
quote from No. 8 of tbe able articles
contributed by the Hon. 11. H. Hill to
a city paper, as follows :
Even, then, if we are really a con
quered people, I have shown that by the
well established rules of the laws of war
and of nation!, we are not “subject to
the will of the conqueror,” except as
that will wag declared before the sur
render, and, therefore, agreed to by the
surrender- I have shown that any terms
prescribed after the war is over, and
after a surrender is accepted, aro not
only not binding on Lhe conquered but
are infamous in the conqueror, and
amount to anew declaration of war
against those wiio »re entrapped into
laying down their arms, and who are,
therefore, (or the time being, liclple.s*.
And whether the Congress or the Ex
ecutive, or both, as is variously claimed,
or whether the President and the .Senate
(as ia the truth), be the peace making
power of the United Suites, 1 have
shown, from the official records of each
and nil, that the only conditions de
manded oi the Southern people, in lay
ing down their arms, were Ihe preser
vation of the Union under Ihe Constitu
tion, with tho single change of the abo
lition of slavery, which single change
W*« very doubtfully and fiuperffectly
d-manded, liut wu very promptly and
cheerfully yielded.
Mr. Hill
subject to the will of the conqueror,
except as that will was declared before
the eumMldee, and, therefore agreed to
by the surrender.” Now it only requires*
general reference to the acts of Con
great of the United State*, the apeechea
of the Republican party leaders, and the
articles in tbelr papers, to learn “how
that will was declared before the sur
render, '* and also to the special plead'
ings, of our own political and military
leaders ‘'before the surrender, v to show
that we all understood and believed the
terms to be baiters for out leaders,
and loss of property, homes, and fire
sides for the masses. What other in*
centive was urged to induce a continu
ance of our defence during the last year
oi the war, except that surrender upon
their terms would be worse than death ?
1 need not say more on that |*oint;
we who were here heard it, and know
that it was believed by the masses.
Again Mr. Hill says, “I have shown
that any terms prescribed alter the war
is over, and after a surrender is accept
ed, are not only not binding on the
conquered, but are infamous in the
conqueror, and amount to anew decla
ration of war against those who are
entrapped into laying dowu their arms,
and who are therefore, for the time
being, helpless. (The italics are mine).
Now this may be a “vexed question
of State,’’ which the Constitutionalist
man says General Longstreet is unequal
to; but to Bny man who was with lien.
Lee when he surrendered, the statement
that “we were entrapped into a surren
der by fair promises, etc.,” is simply
ridiculous. We surrendered because
we were utterly powerless to do other
wise, and the surrender was complete
and unconditional ; and in making it,
every man felt that his property, and
perhaps his life, went with it.
The military terms granted after the
surrender were liberal: we were allowed
to keep such personal and private prop
erty as we had with us ; were provided
with food by the conqueror, and allowed
to go to our homes, there to remain
subject to the laws. As those laws
were made and to be made bv the con
querors, and we knew it. it would be
unjust for us to claim ‘‘that the only
conditions demanded of the Southern
people, in laying down their arms, were
the preservation of the Union under the
Constitution, with the single change of
the abolition of slavery,” etc.
Now, if there are any who do not
believe we have already followed politi
cal dogmas and so-called constitutional
arguments until we have nearly lost
sight of a common, practical, sensible
view of our present unhappy condition
and the way to pet out of it, I would
respectfully refer them to General Jeff.

GEN. M. JEFF. THOMPSON INDORSES
THE SENTIMENTS OF GEN. LONG
STREET.
From the Ixmisvilte (Ky.) Journal.]
Lolisvillr, Sunday, June 16, 1867.
Guo. D. Presiicr, Esq. —Dear Sir : You
desire mo to write you my feelings and
opinions under the existing political condi
tion of the country. Your lriendship to me
in tho dark days of the late war, white we
wore politically enemies, gives you the right
to command my serviees in any way that I
can return your kindness, and therefore I
will comply with your request, and in as
few words as possible express my present
sentiments. I might cover the whole ground
when I say that I heartily concur in the
sentiments of Gen. James Lougstreet ; but
Gen. Longstreet was a professional soldier,
who fought like a hero, and surrendered
like a brave knight who has been unhorsed,
and he may not go far enough in his lan
guage to place himself right before the
wurl i; therefore I, who was a civilian before
the war, and only buckled on my sabre to
contend for certain “rights” (as was the
case with tho armies on either sides), I can
go further than Gen. Longstreet, for I have
resumed my social status, and have not
changed my occupation.
I tel! you, then, plainly, that I never
fought the United States because I hated
the United States. I never fought the North
because I hated the North. I did not desire
to be one iota freer than I was under the
flag of the Union; but there wits an abstract
political principle of State rights, and four
thousand minions of dollars worth of Afri
can slaves that I thought could only be
saved out of the Union. From the first
hostile gun fired by John Brown at Harper’s
Ferry, until the sth June, 1865, when I sur
rendered my troops, I was a fair, square,
and consistent enemy of abolitionism, and
those who fought their battles ; but whoa
desolation came, and starvation and ruin
stared our women and children in the face,
I followed the exarapio of Doble leaders—
surrendered all political rights, and bccamo
one of a conquered but still proud people.
Our war had been no “boy’s play. - ’ Our
surrender was no faroe. No politician had
aught to do with tbe finale, and our proud
eat and noblest simply received a parole,
saying “be shall not be interfered with by
the United States authorities, as long as he
observes this parole, and tbe laws in force
whore he may reside.” This, then, was our
actual condition on July 1, 1865. In a short
time a million of soldiers stacked their guns
and resumed the peaceful pursuits of life
And in two short years we have taken giant
strides in the march of improvement and
reconstruction. We have not been asked to
love tbe domioant party, nor to kiss tbe the
rod that smote us, but tho victors hove the
right to say, “Shall wo make tbe brave n
our frieuds through fear ?” And they only
have the right to make the laws, which we
have simply the right to obey, or leave tho
country, or remain aliens in our own laud.
The proper policy for the victors to pur
sue is not my provinco to discuss, neither
have Ia right to complain ; nor will I pre
sume to advise. I can simply got my sol
diurs an example of patience, industry, and
enterprise; to build up our broken fortunes
and make the land bloom again in peace,
confidence, and plenty; therefore, I wil!
accept all confidence and favors that the
laws may grant mo, and not lot my individ
ual likes or dislikes interfere with m., duty
to the country in which my children at
least have an interest. I can now but re
peat what I had occasion to write once
before: “Apologies for the past or promises
for tbe future would indicato a want of
confidence in my own integrity. I have
simply done what I conceived to bo my
’duty, and I propose to do it now.” Tho
I'oelederate i.overnment wiped out States
Rights the first year of its existence a
bloody war wiped out slavery, and wiped
out the Confederacy, so they are obsolete
ideas; and the plain question now present
ed is, “Will you accept citizenship under
our terms, as contained in this law 1" and
I emphatically answer, Yes! Let each
arid every white man in tho South say,
“Abstract ideas or obsolete theories shall'
not govern mo, for I wilt look facts in ihe
face as they exist, uDd make tbe best eut of
tbe future, without rouping over tiro past.
It is not to be presumed that I shall be
askod to compromise my honor, or be false
to my friends, for I am compelled to obey
tho laws, and being an elector simply gives
me an opportunity to make the laws more
favorable ’—then will confidence be re-
Stored, and plenty abound once more.
Yours, most respectfully,
M. Jtrr. Thompson,

Correspondence es the Dart Pause.]
CtMftN’GTOK, June 27, 1887.
Thi* pleasant town exhibit! few of tbe
rode marks of change which the war
made in many portions of middle and
upper Georgia. Many familiar face* are
gone, and strangers have taken their
places ; and of some it may in truth be
said that their places may not easily be
filW4- The talented and intrepid Lamar
and Glass, were young men of rare
promise, whose loss is still deplored as
a puldic calamity.
The health ami <£>ietude of Covington
renders it especially desirable aa sn
educational point. Tlte Masonic Female
College, inaugurated before the war, has
been reorganized, with a good corpe of
instructors, and, I am pleased to learn,
a fair number of students. The gradua
tion exercises have just been concluded,
and they attracted a large crowd from
Atlanta and other points. The Concert
on Tuesday night was largely attended)
and creditable to the scholars and to
Mrs. Virginia C. Conyers, the teacher
of music. A pleasant interlude in the
exercises of the day was the contest in
reading for prizes, and in this neglected
and most useful accomplishment rare
proficiency was exhibited. Such was
the merit displayed that the committee,
consisting of Gen. J. B. Gordon, Rev.
Mr. Qtiigg, Col. E. H. Pottle, Dr. Hear
ing, and W. \V. Clark, awarded a third
prize—a handsome book, which was
presented in a neat and exquisite
address by General Gordon.
The annual literary address was
delivered by Dr. Lipscomb, Chancellor
of the State University, and was just
such a production as might he expected
from that wise and good man. It was
radiant with Christian faith, patriotism,
and hopefulness.
The gradnating class consisted of
twelve lovely vortng ladies, as follows :
Miss Mattie R. Harper, Miss Lou. C.
Atkinson, Miss Ella J. McCay, Miss
Emma M. King, Miss Bell Clark, Miss
Ella V. Duke, Miss Lizzie M, Steadman,
Miss Maggie E. Hill, Miss Lottie N.
Hendrick, Miss Sallie L. Rogers, Miss
Luta C. Zachry, Miss Nellie Head.
This institution is the only one in
the State under the patronage of the
Masonic Fraternity, and is eminently
worthy of the support of that large and
influential order. G. J, Orr, who was
for eighteen years Professor of Mathe
matics in Emory College, is the Presi
dent and principal teacher, and is ably
assisted by Rev. W. D. Atkinson, one
of the few graduates of West Point who
have devoted their lives to clerical and
literary pursuits. The Trustees and
friend of the College express the highest
gratification at their management of
the College, and confidently expect a
large increase in tho number of its
pupils, which for the last term reached
about sixty. The fraternity of the
Mystic Tie should sustain the institution
more liberally.
Emory College, located a little over
two miles distant, in the beautiful
village of Oxford, has over a hundred
students, and, under President Thomas,
is maintaining its well-earned character.
The Commencement exercises will take
place on the 17th prox. The Com
mencement sermon will be preached on
the preceding Sabbalh by Rev. E. H.
Meyers, and the literary address will be
delivered by General J. B. Gordon.
The crop prospects of this section are
promising. The wheat and oat harvests
have been large, and corn and cotlon,
though backward, a-e growing rapidly.
I hear no complaint of the laborers.
The report is uniform that they are
doing much better than last year.
Wheat is begining to come to market,
and brings SI.OO per bushel.
An important manufacturing interest
is springing ap a few miles from town
of which Mr. E. Steadman, well known
in Augusta, is the projector. He has
dreeled a cotton mill, a large flour and
corn mill, and is building a variety of
works, and projecting other improve
ments.
The water power is one of the finest
in the State, and as soon as peace is
fully restored, it is stated, Northern
Capital will come to the aid of the
enterprising gentleman who has laid
the foundation for an important mauu
lacturing town.
There is nothing cheering in the
political situation. A most singular
culpable indifference to the duty of
registration appears to prevail, and the
whites are thus far outnumbered by the
blacks, in this county, as they are at
all points in the State from which re
porla.have been published, save Atlanta.
Die history of the world shows no such
fatuity as that of a people aud a race
madly and blindly throwing away the
privilege and power of controlling their
future political destinies. Not to regis
ter is making the blacks our superiors,
when the extreme folly of the Radicals
only makes them our equals.
