<!tjf iiatln iprrss. City Printer —Official Paper mrukst rtn tWIUTION AUciIIUTA, tiA.. SATURDAY MORNING July 2T.1867 Returning to the Union. Some of our tricMidi seem averse to going tiack into tho Union at all uuL-a* allowed to do so in a conch and four, with driver, footman, and outriders in livery. Some appear to thiiik that they can quarrel their way hack, others have conceived the brilliant idea of achieving success by stratagem, others whom too much poetry and novel reading have “made mad,” talk in the Ereles vein, look dramatic, and strut to ruin after the manner of the old classic heroes, or. if of a pious turn, ussume a sanctimoni ous aspect, and discourse on the honors of martyrdom, while some of the rougher sort clench their fists, grit their teeth, and with patriotic blasphemy swear that they will die before they will move a peg. All this may sound well in history, lowa centuries hence, ii history shall find room for the nnmes ot these gentle men, which no one, of course, can seriously doubt I lint should their history ever be written by a muu ol philosophic mind, he will probably write that they mistook passion for patriotism, obstinacy for firmness, and sacrificed their State on the altar of their egotism. Happily, their is another class which is distinguished by a more practical cast of uiind. They are for remedying and not aggravating and multiplying evils. All the biographers of the “Iron Duke - ’ concur in the opinion that the secret of his wonderful success was the possession of this same practical cas 1 of mind, which enables men to exhibit au adaptation of action und means to circumstances. He never permitted preconceived ideas of a pet theory to lead him into tactical errors. Nor did' he conduct his campaigns in that nice fashion which made his Spanish and Portuguese allies so inefficient. When he found bridges destroyed, as at Donro, he did not decline crossing and turn back, not did he wait for a bridge to be constructed. He plunged his troops into the river and accomplished his purpose. They got wet, but were not drowned. let us imitate his example. We have made our way to the river of reconstruction, ana are standing on its margin. There is no bridge to carry us over in a comfortable manner. Shall we turn back in disgust ? Or shall we rather take to water, if wedogtt a little wet? Adaptability and the renunciation of old habits and fixed forms of thought and feeling are wbat we require. It is not the first time in history that men have been compelled to forego their favorite theories and systems. The Saxons, of whom Scott’a " Cedric” was a true type, were stern and seif willed— but they finally found it necessary, in the language of this period, to accept the situation. They would have suffered less had they submitted sooner. Those of the present day who are seeking for what they call an honorable place in history, may loarn a lesson from this Saxon example. The aspect in which they are presented to us is that of stolid, stupid, dogged obstinacy. We might refer to numerous instances in which nations have had to renounce old ideas and systems and accept new ones—and without dishonor. Honor is shown in the struggle of arms—in resisting so long as the ability to resist continues. In such a contest the van quished may acquire more honor than the victors. Let ns not tarnish the laurels we won in an unequal struggle, by refusing, when the battle has been lost, to accept the result of that form of trial to which we appealed. Lot us make up our minds to go hack into the Union in the appointed modei and to adapt ourselves to the circum stances and necessities of our situation, neither waiting for a miracle from heaven, nor for that long expected but never to be realized reaction at the North, which some over sanguine people still talk about. The above dissertation on the state of affaire, as now presented, should be considered with calmness, and pre judice bo laid aside- It is from tho Richmond Whig, one of the best edited papers in Virginia. [From the Savannah Republican. Notes on B. H. Hill’s Notes. “ What Cracker is this same, that deals our ear With ibis abundance of superfluous breath ?” Hhaks. King John. “Anr.n the Deluge,” or, Tnn Rkcox btructed Revolutionists —A Pathetic Story, being a Pieco spoken by a Valiant Talkist, and the Distinguished Author of many other Stories. The lion. B. 11. Hill 3poke in Atlanta on the Kith instant. Though the Hun. B. H. Hill has delivered many hundred thousand speeches, this is the first we have ever read, and though he may deliver many hundred thousand more, it is the last that we shall attempt to read. There is something in this speech, however, that tells us Mr. Hill will alwuys have one willing auditor who will hang amorously on the music of his voice—one to whom Mr. Hill is fondly attached, a sympathizing spirit that will admiringly listen to his elo quence, even when soliloquizing. Women are proverbially talkative, and have tongues, the traditional length ol'which, no mathematician has been able to compute ; it is also a household truth that children, in the innocence of their tender intellects, prattle incessantly; but we will pit the Hon, B. 11. Hill against any sour spinster or most inter eating nursery in the Slate ol Georgia. In truth, he iH an untrue “talkist,” and nothing more. There is a happy man described by Spencer, whose beatitude consisted in reposing “in eternal silence far from enemies.” The Hon. B. H. Hill never had a moment of silence (for wu are credibly informed he talks even in his sleep), but he bus certainly eu joyed the repose that cannot be fouud in the presence of the enemy. The honorable gentleman evidently has the aamo opinion that Prior had of the Songs of Solomon, to wit: “ Solomon is the person that speaks; he is at once the hero and the author.” From what a lofty pyramid of plati tudes does this unenlisted soldier wave his borrowed swim! 1 How vigorously this literary Todleben throws up his battlements of mnd after tho Hag of truce has been hoisted over tho captured citadel! What a battal ion of technicalities he marches forth as soon as the terms of capitulation have been signed ! Brave Warrior of Words, commanding an Invalid Corps of Rhet oric I What an enthusiasm you will create among the gallant dead whose heroic struggle you witnessed— from a distance I The buried conscript whom yon forced into a war against the Constitu tion, will resurrect in pure admiration when he hears your pathetic defence of that ssme Constitution. The broken hearted Southern mother, ’the grief stricken wife, the impoverished orphan, will dash carelessly asido their tears when they learn that your “voice is still for war.” The sacrifices you made, the valor you displayed upon every battle field, waged for the destruction of the Union, is a guarantee of the disinter ested anxiety that agitates your bold bosom tor preservation. When did you become, Mr. Hill, a moral reformer of your early vices, under the license of a pnrdon promise? It is evident you love the Constitution. It was your childhood’s creed, but seems to be the dim remembrance of your dotage. “ Do not abandon your rights—talk for them.” [Enthusiastic and pro longed applause]. Benjamin, cannot you do something better than talk? Is it not an aphorism that deeds are better than words? The military bill, yon tell us, is unconstitutional. Does the poor man that has lost an arm feel it less because he lost it unconstitutionally ? Does the returned Confederate soldier with a wooden leg, limp the less because he limps unconstitutionally? Rhetoric such as yours told him to make the sac rifice. Can rhetoric such as yours restore what credence to your voice has lost him ? Do you not carry in your pocket a pardon, written upon parch ment, obtained by a supplicating peti tion for a remission of crimes against the very Constitution for which you now profess to be so ardent an advocate ? Does not the acceptance of that pardon constitute a promise to do different from what you are now doing? Was there not implied in the clemeney of the Executive and the special humil iation that you alone, of nil Georgians, underwent—a promise not to oppose, directly or indirectly, any law of the United States Government unconstitu tional ? Are you a Supreme Court, or even an Inferior Court, that you should talk so flippantly of questions that the highest tribunal in the land has refused to entertain ? You talk about “ perjured traitors 1 ’ Mr. Hill, if there is a “ per jured traitor” in the State you can be registered in that list. You have violated no parole, for you never fought; but you hare, violated an “ amnesty, which means forgetfulness, and a pardon, which means forgiveness.”’ NEWS SUMMARY. A Handsome Amount. —The heirs of Solomon Ingraham are to meet in New York on July 2-fth, to make final arrangements to get possession of the property which they claim in England, that property being no less a prize than the land on which stands the thriving citv of Leeds. The property is valued at $50,000,000. Searching for Vat.uabi.es. —The Portland Argus says that two wrecking vessels are still engaged at the scene of the Bohemian disaster and valuables are frequently brought to the surface, as well as iron, etc. A large roll of silk was secured other day which was almost as good as now, it having been protected by a huge piece of iron. Labor vs. Capital. —The proprieUrs of the cotton mills in Allegheny, Penn sylvania, made a reduction of twenty per cent, on ttie salaries of the ope rators. The latter refused to work at the reduced rates, whereupon the mills were closed, but it is said are to be reopened, employing the females in the families of the German pucidltrs who recently arrived. A Penetrating Horse. —A horse, which was nearly blind, became fright ened in Layton, Ohio, on the 2d inst.. and running against a small frame house, crushed through the weather boarding mid studding, turned over a cupboard and broke the dishes, and broke some glass in the windows near the breach in the wall. The horse broke his neck in the remarkable feat, and died instantly. A Gentle Reminder. —Gen. Brax ton Bragg, Superintendent of the New Orleans waterworks, charges General Sheridan’s appointees in the street com mission with a waste of water in clean ing the streets, and threatens a prose cution. The commissioner replies that no more water is used than necessary, and retorts that a prosecution may be followed by a substitute of officers for the walerworks company. Maximilian to Carlotta. The following is pronounced by some of our Northern exchanges as spurious, how ever, as a matter of interest we give it: My Beloved Carl tta —If God permit Jhat your health get better, and you should read these few lines, you will learn the cruelty with which fate has stricken me since your departure for Europe. You took along with you, not only my heait, but my good fortune. Why did 1 not give heed to vour voice ? So many untoward events! Alas! so many sudden blows have shattered ail my hopes, so that death is but a happy deliverance—not an agony—to me. 1 shall die gloriously, like a soldier, like a king vanquished, but not dishonored. If your sufferings are too great, and God should call you soon to join me, I shall bloss His Divine hand, which has weighed so heavily upon us. Adieu, adieu ! Your poor Max. A Scotchman’s View or Adam.— There must have been some curious specimens of Scottish humor brought out at the examination or catechising by ministers of the flock before the ad ministration of the communion, Thus, with reference to human nature before tbo fall, a man was asked? “What kind of a man was Adam?’ “Oh, just like other folk.” The minister insisted on having a more special description of the first man, and pressed for more explanation. “Weel, said the Scotch man, “he was just like Joe Simpson, the horse eotiper.” “How so?” asked the minister “Weel, naebody got anythin by him, and many lost.” Seriooi Mistake. -4 Married Man Goes to the Wrong Bed and Wakes up the W, ong I‘wi se uger. From the St. Loots Times, 12th.] Mr. Z. lives on Market street, in a certain house, hearing a certain num ber. He is the happy |His.seKsor of a wife and a score or moro of children, is well blessed with this world’s goods, and of course is much admired and patronized by all his neighbors. Mr. Z. is also a public spirited man, and nothing delights bin: more than to see some work of internal improve ment. He attends all meetings and other gatherings looking toward the promotion of those objects, and was never known to be backward in subscrib ing to anv cause calculated to advunco the best interests of St. Louis. Having given this short history of the man and his aspirations, it is unnecessary to add that he was present at the Millers and Flour Merchants’ Convention, held at the Merchants’ Exchange, last Wednesday, and made one or two vigorous speeches. When evening came it required but little urging to prevail upon him to stay at the banquet. Being of a social nature, and much interested in the objects of the convention, bo came to the conclusion that if ho could advance those objects by taking his seat at a well filled supper table and putting down a few glasses of Ileidsick, he would do it; and so Mr. Z. stayed. It was late—or early, rather—when the company broke up to go home. There is nothing extraordinary in this circumstance, but our duty as a faithful historian compels us to disclose the fact that Mr. Z. was slightly fuddled; or, if this is too harsh a term, elevated. His eyes fairly twinkled with mem inent, and he became possessed with such an inordinate desire for speech mak ing that he was only silenced by a couple of gentlemen clapping their handkerchiefs over his mouth und him leading from the room. In this unsteady, uncertain, and totter ing condition, Mr. Z. was conveyed to his home and left at the street door. Here ho dismissed the kind friends who had piloted h im, with a paternal blessing, and then addressed himself to the task of getting into the house and to bed without arousing tho partner of his bosom. T his undertaking, however, involved considerable difficulty. Their sleeping room was in the second story, third door from the stairway landing, and although Z. ’ could have found it well enough at other times, yet at this particular juncture he felt mighty un certain. lie opened the door softly and commenced to creep up stairs. It seemed to him as though he weighed a ton, for each and every stair seemed to groan and squeak with pain, and in an agony of desperation he clung to the bannisters. Arriving at the top he groped around in the darkness until his hand came in contact with the knob of the door, and imagining that it led to the couch where reposed his partner in the dreams of innocence,he turned it sos tly and entered. He would not light the gas, hut disrobed in the dark, and oil' came his coat, vest, and pants, and last his boots, lie thought that he could not be mistaken in the room, for he detected articles of dress such as could be worn by none but a feminine. He tangled himself in a set of hoops, stumped his toe against some French corsets, and mentally swearing at Mrs. Z. for leaving her things where he could stumble over them, shuffled up slowly to the bedside, and, turning down the clothes, was in the act of plac ing his leg beneath, when a piercing scream broke out upon the midnight air and a white robed figure jumped like lightning from the bed, and going to the window, shouted. “Help, help, save me ; it’s man 1” The whole house was soon in an uproar. A policeman, t iree blocks distant, hearing the hub bub, started for the scene, shaking his rattle vigorously as he ran ; but Mrs. Z. who slept iu theroom adjoining, was the first to rush to the rescue. Wo shall not attempt to describe the sight that met her eyes on bursting open the door. There in a corner, screaming with might and main, was the young lady guest that she had invited to spend the evening with her, and there by the bedside stood Mr. Z. in pur is not un lilrus, looking as though he had been fooled by Balaam’s ass, and was about to be turned out of green pastures. Mrs. Z. gave one long agonizing look and muttered out: “Oh 1 you naughty, naughty man, and then tumbled back ward in a dead faint, while the unfeel ing wretch alluded to sat down in a chair, passed his hand over his brow once or twice, and exclaimed : “Well I’ll he cursed !” lie had strayed into the wrong room. We are happy to state that the matter is now settled, in consideration of his promising to never stay out another evening later than 10 o’clock. The Seat of the Affections. —lt has been well suggested that there is no authority in history, mythology, metaphisics or physiology, for placing the headquarters of Cupid in the heart. She cradle of that god, for aught we know to the contrary, is in the lungs or liver. Indeed a most distinguished disciple of /Esculapius says that love is a creature of the stomach, and depends upon the gastric juices for support. Perhaps he is right. And in fact there is a good deal of plausibility in his theory, and yet, if a lover should say to his adored: “Miss, permit me to lay my stomach and fortune at your feet, she would think it an odd way of pop ping tbo question. Conventionalities without any foundation have sometimes the force of facts, and that important muscle which acts as the vital pump and distributing reservoir of the system having been assigned so Cupid as bis residence from time immemorial, we must assume him to be there, although no trace of him can be found on dissee tion. It is, however, a palpable ab surdity to represent the heart of lovers as in flames or transpierced with bar bed arrows, because it is manifest that a person with the vital organ in a state of combustion or on a shower, would be incapable of courting.

Telford, Missionary in China, now visiting his home in Penn.] Washington, Penn., June 25, 1866. Messrs. Perry Davis Sod, Providence, R. I.—Dear Sirs : —During a residence of some ten years as a missionary in Siam and China, I found your Vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable remedy for that fearful scourge, the t holera. In administering the medicine I found it most effectual to givo a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a gill ot hot water sweetened with sugar; then, after about fifteen minutes begin to give about a tablespoonful of the same mixture overy minute until relief was obtained. Apply hot applications to tho extremities. Rathe the stomach with the Pain Killer, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. Os those who hail the Cholera, and took the medicine faithfully in the way stated above, eight out of tea recovered. Truly yours, R. TELFORD. If attacked with tho Diarrhoea, Dysen tery, Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of tho PAIN KILLER. Titngchow, China, August 2D, 1866. Messrs. Perry Davis d? Sous.—Dear Sirs : —During a long residence in China, I have used your invaluable Pain Killer, both in my own family and among the Chinese, and have found it a most excel lent medicine. Iu the summer of 1862 and '6B, while residing in Shanghai, 1 found it an almost certain cure for Cholera, if used in time. Indeed, using it in a great many instances, I do not remember failing in a single case. For three years I have been residing in this place, more than fifty miles from a physician, and have been obliged often to fall upon my own lesources in cases of sickness. The Chinese come to us in great numbers for medicine and advice. Though without medical knowledge our selves, the few simple remedies we can command are so much in advance even of their physicians, that wc have almost daily applications We allow them to come, because it brings us in contact with them, and opens a door of usefulness. In diar rhoea, colic, vomiting, cholera, coughs, etc., your PAIN KILLER has been my chief medicine. * * * -* * Yours, very truly, T. P. CRAWFORD. Perry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer I have used the medicine known as PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER in my family, for the last twelve months, and have great pleasure in testify ing in favor ol its very valuable properties. I would not on any account bo without it. During the existence of the cholora last year I used no medicine of any sort but the Pain Killer, although myself and sev eral members of my family were attacked by it severely, and I am happy to say that the Pain Killer was equal to every emer gency—it was both a preventive and a certain cure. I consider I should not be doing my duty to the community did I not say this much, if I were attacked by the cholera to-day the Pain Killer should he the only remedy. 1 would use. I have thor oughly tested it, and know it can bo relied on. F. E. BEKGINSEND, Galena, Illinois. Those using Pain Killer should strictly observe the following directions : At the commencement of the disease, tako a tcaspontul of Pain Killer in sugar and water, and then bathe freely across the stomach and bowels, with l’aiu Killer, clear. Should the diarrhoea and cramp continue, repoat the dose every fifteen minutes. In this way the dreadful scourge may bo checked, and the patient relieved in tbo course of a few hours N. 11.—Be suro and get tho gonuino article; and it is recommended by those who have used tho Pain Killer for the cholera, that in extreme cases tho patient, take two (or more) teaspoonfuls instead of one. We ask the attention of the public to this long tested and unrivalled family med ioine. The Pain Killer is, by universal consent, allowed to have won for itself a repute!inn unsurpassed in tho history of medical preparations. Its instantaneous effect in tho eradication and extinction of pain, in all its various forms incidental to the human family, and the unsolicited written and verbal testimony of tho masses in its avor, have been, and are, its own best advertisement. iytf-ly WHITE ALPAcZ Beautiful quality, for sale by AIKS.
