Military la Warren Comity.
If the friends of Peace and Order in Warren
county will pursue a proper and judicious course
in the present emergency, we hare no doubt the
result of the existing fuss will be highly bene
ficial to that county. They might protest
against the unconstitutionality and injustice of
military arrests and military trials, (if they are
proposed)—they might display immense indig
nation and excitement; hut it would all be
fruitless. • •' - ~
T<et them take things as they are and do their
best to elicit the whole truth in reference to
the violences in that county, with an equal de
termination neither to shield the guilty, nor to
permit the innocent to suffer if they can help
From Washington.
Washing Toy. June 10.—The announcement that
a number of capitalists of New York had contracted
to loan the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad twelve
million dollars to build the road, it is reliably stated,
is not founded on fact. Negotiations are going on,
and it is probablo that a visit will be made over the
road before any proposition is entertained.
It is said Bontwell will persevere in selling,weekly,
two million in gold and buying one million in bonds.

The Fence Question.
We should be glad to reprint the views of onr
Georgia contemporaries generally upon tho
question of dispensing with field fences, but
just now aro much pressed for spaoe. The
first and only article we have seen against the
proposition is copied from the Coiambus En
quirer on the outsido. We have no opinions
on the subject which we value as personal pro
perty to the amount of a ginger cake. The
question is simply one of sound economy, and
it is for planters and landholders to decide. The
objections of tho Enquirer havo their weight,
and there must be considerable inconveniences
in adopting such a change ; but they do not at
all compare with the benefits to accrue. We
have not a line’s space, however, to argue the
matter.

Four Outlets to the Sea.
The Augusta papers announce, as things set
tled and provided for, the completion of the Ma
con and Augusta Railroad and a railroad from
Augusta to Port Royal on the Sea board. The
whole will bo accomplished within a year, and
will open up, with what wo now have, four out
lets from Macon, more or less direct to the Sew
We shall have almost a straight line to Port
Royal, Charleston and Brunswick, and a less di
rect line to Savannah. The in dis
tance by cither route to NewYork will, perhaps,
be immaterial as affecting the actual cost of
transportation, although that by the way of
Port Royal will probably bo by about fifty wi^wi
the shortest route.
With the completion of these four routes we
may therefore count upon such mode rate rates of
freight as shall materially increase the facilities
of the Macon merchants for an active competi
tion for the trade’of the interior, while, at the
same time, Macon, as the radiating point of
these four grand competing routes, and the ac
cessible centre of a vast cotton growing region
should naturally be one of tho most active and
extensive cotton and produce mari3 in the whole
Southern country.
Let the Macon and Memphis Railway be
pushed onward, as it promises to be, and cer
tainly the map of the United States will disclose
few more commanding points for an active trade
than this central point of Georgia will then be.
Let out business men and property holders then
wake up, for day is breaking.

Crops in Houston County.
J[curt,'Editort :—A recent trip enables mo
to inform yon that the crops in Houston conn-
ty are promising. Cotton is backward, bnt
looks healthy and flooriaMng.and is beginning to
grow finely. The. “stand" is generally very
good, and when manured with guano, is very
promising. •
The freedmen are working well, and keep tho
crops very clean. I saw no grass worth men
tioning. The com looked well, but was also
somewhat backward, it begins to need rain
very much. •
The gardens aro suffering mnch where no
rain has fallen lately. Taken altogether, I
think tho farmers in Houston have flattering
prospects. *
Crockery and Preserving Jars.
B. A. Wise, Mulberry street, advertises a
really large assortment of crockery at whole
sale and retail, and a timely supply of the best
variety of preserving jars. These admirable
contrivances for the thrifty house-keeper will
soon be in great demand, and there never has
yet been a full supply of them in Macon through
tho fruit season. We recommend all to secure
what they
it. Let them, therefore, cooperate with the
military in the frankest and fullest investiga
tion of the offences charged and in the detection
of the offenders. This is due to their own in
terests, and it is due to the State which had suf
fered from theso difficulties and disturbances.
We havo no doubt the military are inclined
to act fairly and justly in the premises. We
don’t believe they will side either with one par
ty or the other in these proceedings, if the intel
ligent people of Warren wiB not commit ihefoUy
of standing aloof and allowing theserepr etenta-
thee of the Federal Government to be manipu
lated at will, by the repreeentathee of radicalism
and the private feude and animotititt of un
worthy individuals.
We say nothing, therefore, to excite indigna
tion in this matter. That is precisely what the
Warren people should curb and restrain. We
say, on the contrary, lay aside fnss and fuming
and pitch intn tho whole matter with tho mili
tary, determined to get at the bottom of it, and
determined that the United States Government
shall not be wielded in the interests of injustice
and wrong, by unworthy and unscrupulous par
ties, through the ill-advised and culpable inac
tivity and reserve of the people of the county.
Help yourselves, by good management in this
matter, jnst as yon would not fail to do if yon
had a large property interest dependent upon
it. H your right to your property were chal
lenged and endangered in this way, yon would
not fail of doing your besttoprotectit, although
yon might object to the tribunal. You would
not stand aloof in stupid listlessness or offend
ed dignity and see the ears of the court poison
ed against yon by rascals, while yon did noth
ing for yourself!
Jnst so here. Take hold and do not permit
injustice and folly to be done, jnst because
Chap Norris or anybody else has brought down
tho military upon you. You have just as good
a right to the ear of tho military as Chap Nor
ris has, and can get it, if you will, a hundred
times better.
IiOgan,
the Illlni-ltadirals and the
Confederate Dead.
Logan, as tho head of the “ Grand Army of
the Republic,” takes upon himself the respon
sibility of pronouncing the flat of that organi
zation, that the Confederate dead shall not be
honored. That is the ultra-radical decision.
Therein outcrops the moral and political postu
late, that “ treason [as displayed in the rebel
lion, so called) mutt be made odious!’’ That
was the universal Radical outcry, so loon as tho
roar'of the cannon and the roll of the drums
wero hushed. “Treason must be made odious.”
The Confederate traitors, dead and living, must
be engulfed in infamous memory.
This is tho point underlying not only the con
troversy about floral grave decorations, bnt also
the whole series of legal proscriptions and dis
qualifications upon which the Radical Congress
has been engaged since 1865, plunging the coun
try into disorder and pecuniary distress, and re
versing every principle of sound and constitu
tional administration, in order to brand the
“Southern Rebels” with moral infamy.
Against all theso efforts wo rely with calm
confidence upon the verdict of history. Tho
landmarks of the late melancholy sectional qnar.
rel are too plain to be arbitrarily stamped ont of
the intelligence and common sense of America.
We, the Southern people, aro not moral trai
tors and the Radicals cannot make ns so. We
were raised to believe ourselves citizens of States
which had formed a common government strict
ly npon the principle of consent. That onr al
legiance was doe to onr States and not to their
creature and agent That we bad a legal and
moral right to protect ourselves against ruinous
agression from a combination of the States by
withdrawing from the Union, and wo attempted
to exercise that right simply for self protection
and in no purpose to injure the States which
remain.
That the war originated solely in tho effort to
restrain and prohibit the exendse of -this right,
and that, in fine, in the whole transaction, there
was no moral treason on onr part whatever; bnt
a strict and true conformity to the obligations
of law and allegiance as we understood them,
and as they had been uniformly interpreted to
us by tho venerated founders and exponents of
the American federative system.
This is and must ever be history. No glosses,
perversions, or falsehoods can cover it, and no
fanatical pronunciamentos or partisan strife
can prevent honor, to the illustrious dead who
di$d in full conviction of duty and patriotism.
In the light of events we have ceased to quarrel
with those Northern ideas, either of the prop
erty rights of the South, or of the powers of the
States, which brought on tho war. Let them
id. Bnt certainly there is no justice in the
attempt to settle onr moral attitude and respon
sibility by principles and doctrines to which we
never assented, and which the whole previous
political history of the government belied. It
cannot be done, Mr. Logan. Yon may stamp
on the flowers, bnt yon can’t grind history into
oblivion. _
Georgia —the Hatter Brought Down to
a Focus—All Depends on Hoar.
The New York Tribune’s Washington corres
pondent, telegraphing on the 7th, gives this
startling information :
Since the adjournment of Congress, the Pres
ident has been importuned, time and again, by
citizens of Georgia representing all political
parties therein, to take some action which
would definitely settle the present status of that
State. The Senators of the State never having
been admitted to qualify and take vherr seats,
and her vote for President not having been
counted in the Electoral College, it has been as
serted by many that she is not a State in the
Union, but remains an unreconstructed State,
the same as Virginia, Mississippi nud Texas.
This condition of uncertainty has led to many
embairasfanents among the State and Federal
officials of Georgia, and has led the President
to submit the whole matter to the Attorney Gen
eral for a legal opinion. If Mr. Hoar should de
cide that the State is not a State in the Union,
according to the reconstruction laws of Con
gress, then, it is thought, the President will
have the same power there that he has in Vir
ginia, Mississippi and Texas, and wifi recognize
Georgia as having only a Provisional Govern
ment.
If that is true, we might as well begin to
pack for a trip out of the Union, for onr confi
dence in Attorney General Hoar is of the least.
