Gear MILLjEDGEVILLE TUESDAY. JANAUEY 23, 1872. Mr. Pendleton's Letter Will be found in another column. We bespeak for it the calm and thoughtful perusal of our readers. Than George H. Pendleton, no statesman commaudB, in a greater degree, the confidence of the American people, whether for per sonal probity, dispassionate judgment, or unselfish devotion to the ancient prin ciples of the Government. His hatred for Radicalism, in all its phases of abuse, is a perfect hatred. And so, of bis rev- •rence for the traditions of the fathers. The letter seems to bo a conclusion—his conclusion—from the past year’s experi ments and discussions of Democratic policy. The standpoint, from which his observations have been made, that of entire independence, and yet of pro- fouudest interest in the subject, is a ve ry advantageous one, certainly. A larg* er consideration is therefore due to his convictions. And there is a very sub limity in his ardent faith in the ultimate triumph of correct principle. Constitu tional liberty, iu America, depeuds not on the artful strategy of politicians, hut OD the inherent energy of Truth. If the popular iniud has a sufficiency of moral sentiment to build upon, agitatioa will, by exposure, wear away the pas- sious and prejudices of the revolution and restore the old landmarks. If such is not the case, then any party succcb were a hollow triumph, tha form of self- government a delusion, and an Auto-* crat, free from sectionalism at least, the best hope of the South. We are very reluctant to believe that Ichabod is yet written upon our political fabric. And if we must contend, as surely we must, let it be for something that is worth the effort. To this conclusion, the foes of Radicalism, everywhere, seem ta be coming—a conclusion that is strength ened, if not made absolutely necessary, by the repulsion of moderate Republi cans, so-called. A plain, free, opeu, square, flat-footed fight between the old order of thingB and the new, may be ex pected. If the Democratic Convention is wise, it will leave no good excuse for patriots to support Grant, and that is all that can be expected of it. In the or ganization of the campaign, the South will be the most interested spectator, but only a spectator still. plunder. I)r. Grant may prescribe phle botomizing and ‘ furnish tho medicine.’’ He doesn’t lack counsellors, who urge that coor.se, certainly. G The Spaniards, in Cuban waters, fired into tho steamer Florida. Grant lyes forwarded some of his Monitors to Cuba on account of (he outrage. War with Spain may be the result and seems not to be wholly undesired by the Span ish Court. Whether they wish to lose the Island, or are merely moved by the spirit of La Mancha’s Knight, depouent Faitb not. Quem Deus vull pet dere, prius demental. The New Eegime. The Grand Inauguration Ball at At lanta was a most well-timed affair. The rejoicing at the Capital is a true expres sion of the heart-felt satisfaction, reign ing through all the borders of this noble old Commonwealth.. Whilst our sister Southern States, some of them, through the wretched policy of concession and compromise, have invited further ag gression and sank into a slavery, the worse from being partially voluntary. Georgia has submitted, with ever re newed protest, to the wrongs she could not escape, and now’ at last, her persist eut fidelity is rewarded with a substan tial victory. Well may she rejoice, for her success is her own achievement Oppressed with poverty, with the mud sills of her social fabric still unsettled from their late upheaval, the sun of hope, at last, has risen again, upon her horizon, with clear, effulgent light. Her Telemonian prayer, at length, is an swered— “Dispel this gloom, the light of Heaven re store. Grant me t» see, and Ajax asks no more.’ Her destinies are Current Sensations. 1. Jim Fisk, deceased, is still the great sensation in the North east. Re ligious papers, and others not so reli gious, have dissected him and his ras» calities into intolerable bash. His shameless “love-letters” are a sweet morsel under the tongue of Yankee-doo- dle, who is greatly concerned with the weight of Fisk’s brain and the matrimo nial destiny of bis widow. 2. Baltimore has a first class sensa tion too, doubtless to the great profit oi the newsboys of the middle cities, Gcu. Ketchum died there suddenly, and his physician what he supposed to be antimony and the cause of Ketchum’a death. Mrs Wharton was indicted for poisoning him and her trial has kept Baltimore all •gog for a week or two, ladies even thronging the Court-room. The con* troversy between the lawyers and doc tors waxed so hot that the defendant was well-nigh forgot in the melee. The chief point of interest and issue is, whether Gen. Ketchum died of antimo ny, or of cerebro-spinal meningitis ? Kind reader, we cannot tell yon. 3. Away down in the South-west, two factions of Louisiana radical rogues still strive for the privilege of stealing the anstolen balance. Each claims to be the Legislature of that State, whilst the people of the State, regarding both as interlopers and enemies, aro interested only as they may gauge the compara tive thieving capacity of the belligerents. Grant refuses to take a hand, wherefrom we infer that the unstolen balance is iefinitessimal. Later reports say that the Warmouth faction has surrendered to the Democrats, which betokens a bet ter future for Louisiana. 4. The Russian Secretary has writ ten a “hard saying’' to Minister Car- tin, respecting Grant’s Government, in its dealings with Catacazy. But it seems not to be hard enough to impress Hiram’s stolidity. Should some news paper reader cal his attention to it, per haps be may anticipate a present to soothe his wounded honor. A cigar will suffice, we suspect, or a curry-comb. 5. Mexico still pegs away, cultivating anarebj; The revolution, that begun in 1810, has not yet come to a head. Pet ty factions still strive for the mastery, or in the keeping • her children again. Here alone, in all this broad South land, is restored the ancient Constitutional status, in its spir it. And this is but the beginning of the end. Under the guidance of her old motto, “Wisdom, Justice, Modera tion,” a splendid future lies out before her. May we not hope, that hcrstrick en Confederates, taking heart from her success, may quickly shake off their fet ters and achieve a like deliverance! Heaven grant it be so. Amen ! Confirmations. The Senate unanimously confirmed Hon. Hiram Warner, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. S. W. Hitch, of Pierce county, was confirmed Solicitor of the Brunswick Circuit, and J. T Fiewellen, Solicitor Pataula Circuit. The following nominations were also confirmed : Twiggs, Judge of the Mid die Circuit; J. T. Glenu, Solicitor of the Atlanta Circuit : Davenport Jackson Solicitor of the Augusta Circuit ; Sam ucl P. Lumpkin, Solicitor of the North ern Circuit; J. C. Rutherford, Solicitor of the Albany Circuit; A. C. Pates Judge of the Oconee Circuit; Rollin Stanley, Solicitor of tlis Oconee Circuit C. S. Crisp, Solicitor of tho Southwest ern Circuit. P. W. Alexander, J. B. Campbell and J. W. Warren, have received tbei appointments as Secretaries to bis Ex cellency Governor Smith. It* powerful organization enters eve village in the land, aud numbers inong its adherents newly one half the people—as intellectual, as pure, as pa triotic. as unselfish as any of their fcl- ow-citizens. They are too numerous to e cowardly. They are too patriotic to be lukewarm. They are too sincere in fbeir purpose and convictions to be driv en to despondency by ten years of re verses. They hvc shown constancy in defeat as well as wisdom in victory. If I understand their feedings they will never disband their organization nor flee the field before the contest commences Bithor course, they believe, would give undisputed sway to the present Admin istration, which could give, undivided at tention to tbs deserters from its own ranks. An advancing army, with the enemy either dispersed or in flight, never loses divisions or regiments, or even compa nies, and is generally able to pick off or to pick up treacherous or thoughtless stragglers. If there be, as is claimed, many mem bers of the Republican party who dis approve the ideas which dominate the administration of President Grant, and are prepared to oppose his re-election, they should declare their purposes, or ganize their party, develop and manifest their strength, and if I may predict the future, they will havo no just cause, even the most sensitive and timid among them, for refusing to cooperate with the Democratic par;y. When its authorized convention shall speak it will remind its adherents that the ultimate and high est purposes of its existence is to secarc the greatest prorperity, in its best sense, of every human being in the land ; that principles of government are true or an true, as they contribute to this result; that parties and politics and offices are but means to this end ; that principle* *re of different application, and ques tions lose their importance in tha ever shifting changes of human affairs, and discarding all narrow ideas, abandoning the consideration of a’l questions which hare been decided or buried by the events which have passed ; recognizing the accomplished facts of the present, and appreciating the dangers of the fu ture, it will invite, both by words aud by deeds, both by resolutions and by nomi nations, the zealous, hearty co-operation of all meu who believe that the Consti tution is a better system of government than martial law, and that reform in the civil service is a higher duty than re warding prospective paitisan effort by distributing spoils. By this course the party, I should hope, would attain success. If it should once more fail, as an honest, faithful, patriotic minority, it will h Id an impor tant position aud exert su immense mor al power over the majority ; and it may well wait with faith the inevitable hour which will crown its fidelity aud pa tience with the success which it will have deserved.

Cincinnati, December 30, 1871.— Messrs. Esbelmen, Ffiristone, Baugh man, Committee of Invitation—Gentle\ men : I regret that I cannot aecept your invitation to be present at the next an nual celebration of the 8th of January. It wonld bare given me great pleasure to meet and taka counsel of those who are so well grounded in tha faith and the practice of Democracy as tha men of Wayne county, and with them to reeall the principles and example of the foun ders of our party. Two great dangers imperil free insti tutions under the policy of the party now in power. The spirit of centralized mil itary government attacks everywhere the Constitution, and corruption in office destroys the civil administration. I do not speak merely or chiefly of special de falcations however startling, but of the general degradation of the standard of official integrity until the offices in both tho civil and military service seem to be considered the property of the party, to be dispensed and administered primarily for party aggrandizement or personal profit. These dangers grow out of and are iu- separabla from the present organization of the Republican party. Its founda tion, its philosophy, its bistory, and its leaders recognize military power and the corrupting use of money by official pat ronage as legitimate forces in ordinary civil administration, and now more than ever are they brought into active exer cise. The Democratic party confronts this theory, and denounces these prac tices. Founded upon the idea of loeal gov ernment, jealous of powers granted to authority, taught that simplicity and economy are essential to the honesty necessary in republican institutions, it maintains with more determined purpose that the military must be subordinate to the civil authority, and that offices are a trust for the people, not spoils for the victors. Tho Freedmen’s Bureau is going at last to die eut like e tallow caudle— with a bad smell. Gen. O. O. Howard and his man Friday, Gen. Bulloch, “Chisf Distributing Officer,’’ have been making some improper distributions, as per example, distributing into their own pockets the interest of funds of the Bureau on band. The World says Gen. Oily O. Howard “is a snivelling, canting swindler, and every remaining hour of bis life ought to be spent at hard labor in tbe Albany Penitentiary.” That is hard on Oily—such a bsuevolerrt man, you know--so overflowing with a melt ing tenderness for tbe suffering negro— so majc»tieally polite and reverential to Cornfield Africanus, whom Oily used to get together iu vast crowds, and ad dress as ‘‘Ladies and Gentlemen ! The first thing you should understand is that you are ladies and gentlemen, and ba careful to exact from the rebel whites the respect due to your stations.”—Ma con Telegraph. The death of MajorsGeneral Halleck reduces tbe number of major generals in the army to three. This is the number which tbe law of 1870, consolidating tbe army, required that it should be reduced to before any vacancies should be filled by promotion. The military division of the South will be abolished in conse quence of tbe death of General Halleck, but tbe two departments which now con stitute it—that of the South, under Gen eral Terry, aud that of the Gulf, under Genera! Emery—will remain as separate commands. Resolutions offered by Mr. Hall, of Msrriwstlier, requesting Congress to pass general amnesty, were pastod with but a single dissenting' voice, that of Peter O’Neal, eolored. Peter O’Neal offered a resolution that when tbe General Assembly adjourn it adjourn to meet at Milledgeville. A horse-thief residing in Limestone county, Ala., named Geo.
