DPEMStl OP THE CENTRAL RAIL-
4 ROAD TO MACON.
According to announcement in the News
axd Herald, the Central Railroad Company
yesterday commenced the running of regular
trains between Savannah and Macon.
A preliminary train was run successful}*
on Tuesday, under charge of Mr. O. Reneau,
and found the road ingood condition.
Yesterday the first public up train left here,
according to the schedule, with Capt. P.
Whalen in charge. It had a good number of
passengers and considerable freight.
The first down train left Macon at 7 a. m.,
Mr. Geo. M. Dean, conductor, and arrived
here on time last evening, with two passen
ger cars, tour freight cars and a baggage car.
This train passed the up train at Milieu, both
on tair time, and making good trips. The
dinner-house there is under the charge ol
Mr. It. H. Gray, of great renown, long
known in that connection-
We clip tbe following, with much gratifi
cation, from our able contemporary, the Ma
con Telegraph :
The arrival of a passenger train through
from Savannah about 1 o'clock, p. m, yes
terday, created quite a pleasant sensation
among our citizens. We congratulate tin
Company on tbe completion of their labors,
and hope, npw that tbeii road is in running
order, they will reap a rich harvest, and be
compensated, in part, at least, for their im
mense losses.
Trains, we learn, will run through regu
larly tr-m this date, two per day, tbe nigh
train to make a close connection with tin
morning trains from ibis city.
Now mat the great Central is completed
and direct communication once more estan
lished with the seaboard, we hope to see ai
early revival of business and social relation?
between tbe people of the two sect ions. Lei
ail the jealousies and heart-burnings of the
past, if any, be forgotten, and let Georgian
of all sections be a united and co-operating
acrifices of tbe past and lb
oWwa of tbe present should
steel that nothing can sever
iraah we send greeting: May
with the sails of every clime
and her merchants and tradesmen grow rie.
from tne treasures that shall be poured into
their iap9. She is yet beloved by the people
of Georgia, and has only to be true to herseli
to restore her fallen fortunes and prosper even
more abundautly than she did in the past.
With all the care that it is possible, amid
the multiplicity of duties and labors devolv
ing on the editors, it is impossible always to
avoid the admission of exceptionable expres
sions, or even objectionable sentiments, in
the columns of a daily newspaper. When
such oversights occur, our own mortification
is mitigated by the reflection that sensible
readers judge us by the general tone of our
paper and not by such exceptional inadver-
iancies.
THE mu At HE
wftvonof co:
We find published itt full, k th* Ne* York
papers of the 8th inst^ the final report of the
.Reconstruction Committee, whieto was sub
mitted to the Senate by Mr. Fessenden on
the 6th inst.
- . - _ . , The most important conclusions presented
Official Paper Oi tile Cityare, first, that the President had no power,
after tha fall of the Confederacy, except to
execute the laws of the land, and to establish,
as far as he could, a system of government;
that all his acts were those of a military com
mander, he having no authority under the
law over the subject of reconstruction. Se
cond, it is assumed as beyond dispute, that
the people of the “Rebel States" had in fact
withdrawn from the Union, and made them
selves subjects of another government. The
Committee, therefore, decide that the South
ern States are not at present entitled to repre
sentation in the Congress ol the United
States; that before allowing snch representa
tion, adequate security for future peace and
safety should be required. To this end they
offer a joint resolution for amending the Con
stitution, and two several bills, designed to
carry the same into effect.
To prepare the Northern minu or me fa
vorable reception of the recommendations of
tbe report, and thus insure tbe ratification by
the Legislatures of the proposed amendments
to the constitution, the committee labor dili
gently to show thit tbe Southern people are
still disloyal, and that their professions of fi
delity to the Government of the United
States are deceitful and untrustworthy. They
say that the Southern press, with few ex
ceptions, and those mainly of newspapers
recently established by Northern men,
abounds with weekly and daily abuse of the
institutions of the loyal States, defends the
men who led and tbe principles which incited
tbe “rebellion,” and strives constantly and
unscrupulously, by any means in its power,
to keep alive the fire of bate and discord be-
tween tbe two sections. In short, the report
Is nothing more or less than a bill of indict
ment, with a multiplicity of counts, framed
oy an ingenious attorney against eight mil
lions of people, concluding with a prayer lor
conviction and punishment. We confess
tuat we have read this extraordinary paper
with regret and sorrow. Whilst certainly
turee fourths of tbe people of tbe South are
teting in the best faith under the new obli
gations imposed by the trying situatiou in
which they have been placed by the fortunes
>t war, they are stigmatized by the national
Jongress as insensible to honor and as lios-
-ile to the Union, they are doing their best
io restore. Every excess at the South is
charged to the generat account of- Southern
society, instead of the locality and iudivid-
lal where and by whom the wrong la com
mitted. The effect of this is both dishearte
ning to Southern interests and shamefully
unjust, and as the concealment of truth, next
io the utterance of falsehood, becomes a
crime, those in high places who indulge in
dther at the expense of their neighbors will
tie held to a fearful responsibility for the
wrongs they do.
Those who have watched the course of
events since the surrender of Gen. Lee know
iliat the great body of the people of the
South have not only acquiesced in the fact of
ihe complete overthrow of the cause of seces
sion, but have manifested a purpose to do
all in their power to restore law, order and
prosperity to the subjugated sections of coun
try where they reside. This fact is so true
that there is hardly an exception to it. It is
not only true of men like Lee, Johnson,
Beauregard, but of men likA Hampton,
Hill, and all tbe second class leaders of the
armies of the South. It is true of the late
Senators and Representatives of the Con
federate Congress, true of tbe members of
the Confederate State? Legislatures, true of
the great body of citizens in and out of
office. Ail classes of these men are support
ing the policy of the President, content to
give up slavery, to give up secession, and to
own the full force and power of the Federal
Government. The very impulsive indepen
dence of the Southern character which
hastened so many States and people into the
vortex of bloody conflict has made the vast
majority of the Southern people equally
honest in their stipulation to act fairly with
the Government. Whilst they own that they
have been overpowered they feel that they
are entitled to justice, and therefore demand
it. Not one in a thousand contemplates any
purpose hostile to the Federal Government-
The great body are seeking for opportunity
and means to get upon their feet again.
The difficulties are great and the obstruc
tions are many; but there are no greater ob
structions and no worse discouragements
than are found in the abusive misrepresenta
tion, criticisms and renewal of old hatreds so,
glaringly exhibited in the report of the Re
construction Committee—hatreds and criti
cisms which, we sinoerely trust, do not rep
resent the voice of the great body of the peo
ple at the North. It is surely to the interest
of the North and of the whole country that a
generous policy should be pursued towards
us.
We speak not of ths promise of President
Lincoln that peace should be had by the lay
ing down of onr aims; of the assurance of
General Grant to General Lee, when inviting
hie capitulation, that all his Government
wanted was peace; or of the thanksgivings
for peace in which the people united at the
close of hostilities. Why not give ns that
peace 7 Why not take away from among ns
all the paraphernalia of war, and give ns our
equal places in the sisterhood of States?
Why not accord to ns, as well a s to' others,
those rights and all those inducements which
stimulate industry and enterprise, and of
which no people can be in greater need than
we? Why not attach ns to the Union by
hooks stronger than of steel—generous and
kind treatment? Why not help ns, ye men
of the North, or at least why not allow u£ to
grow strong, that we may add strength to the
nation, and to grow rich, that we may add to
the wealth and revenues of the Government.
To effect all this it is only necessary that
tbe people of the North should treat the
South with kindness and respect, and be con
scious to themselves of doing so. It only
needs that they should abandon all idea of
damaging her equality in the association x>n
which they have so naolately insisted. It
only needs that in Constraining her people
back, they tell them, as President Jonnaon
does, to bring their manhood with them;
that they do not Want them eviscerated of
their manhood and self respect, as- contem
plated by the action of tbe committee.
Abandon tbe notion awl rebuke tbe fell
spirit of hatred now actuating’ your leading
statesmen, for it is a great mistake, that
the South is in a condition to bear up under
such severity of treatment. * Oh the Contrary

have befallen her, friendly MfitoUBCO, (|nd

Rxsubbected Confederate Torpedoes.—
A few days since, while making some hydro-
graphic explorations in the Ogeechee river,
a gentleman who was formerly in the Confed
erate service, and in that capacity as
sisted in putting down torpedoes to protect
against incursions by the Federal navy, dis
covered five of the formidable machines in
the exact position where they had been left.
Three of the five were in good condition, and
on being taken up, the powder in them was
found dry, and the exploding apparatus in
tact.
We mentiou this fact on account of its
scientific importance, as showing the dura
bility of the marine explosive contrivances
invented under the exigencies of the late
war.
Sabdersville Georgian. — We had the
pleasure of a call yesterday from Mr. John N.
Gilmore, editor and proprietor of tbe San-
dersville Georgian, an old established and
ably conducted weekly paper, published at
Sandersville, Washington county. Mr. Gil
more visits Savannah for the purpose of in
troducing his paper, which enjoys a large
circulation in tbe counties of Washington,
Laurens, Emanuel, Johnson, Burke, Jeffer
son and other counties on the line of the
Central Railroad, to our merchants, as a me
dium through which to make .known their
business to the people of that section of the
State. We commend the Georgian to their
favorable consideration.
*‘Taxe no Fenians Prisoners. "—Such,
in the fewest of words, is said to be tbe
order issued to the British troops in Cana
da. It is a command worthy of the darkest
ages and of the most despotic governments.
Take lo prisoners, means kill all in your
power—give quarter to none. Such bar
barity would call down upon the Canadians
the execrations of the civilized world, and
strengthen the Fenian cause even against the
British Provinces.
The Test Oath in Mississippi.—Judge
Hiii, of the U. S. District Court, recently de
cided at Oxford, Miss., that the Test Oath
was unconstitutional, and ought not to be
exacted, from. Buy member of the Bar who
had been admitted to practice in the Court.
He declined to bear any argument oo the sub
ject, having previously examined it. Thus
f*r, in every Stateln tbe South except Florida,
where Judge Frazer has decided that it is un
constitutional, has this odious test oath been
set aside.
Probable Release of Jefferson Davis.
A Washington dispatch, dated on Friday,
Buys; The Cabinet held a very brief session
to-day, all the members being present ex

President communicated bis intention to re
lease Jefferson Davis on parole, which, it is
said, was acquiesced in by all except two
members of the Cabinet. ^

fUMBOi CONNECTION.”
We have so often before adverted ft this
important Subject that the public cannot
doubt our entire approval of tbe address of
Col. Screven, President of the Atlantic k
Gulf Railroad Company, which we publish
in another place. It contains a clear, though
brief statement of opinions long entertained
by ourselves. We claim to be somewhat fa

The Sunken Confederate Stbaker Nash
ville and Steamer Water WV«ch.—We are
informed that a Contract has been entered
iuto by parties in this city with the
U. S. Government lo raise the old Confeder
ate steamer Nashville, sunk in the Ogeechee
river in 1862, alter being fired into, while
lying opposite the Middleton plantation, with
730 bales of cotton on board.
The sunken steamer Water Witch,
captured from the Federal navy on Vernon
river, and subsequently scuttled, is under
contract to be, raised by the same firm.
Progress of Radicalism.—A “Soldiers’
Convention, ’’ held at Pittsburgh, Penn., last
week, adopted the following, among other
resolutions:
Resolved, That the loyal majority of Congreaa de
serves our gratitude; -that radical evils require radi
cal remedies; aud that the nation should take no atep
backward in the inarch to the grand destiny that sure
ly awaits unfaltering, persistent adherence to the
cause of equal freedom."
It is stated that a member of the Conven
tion who declared himself in favor of the elec
tion of Clymer, the coppery candidate for Go
vernor, was hustled out of the Convention,
retiring amid a storm of hisses.
IncomWax on Sales of Cotton The following
which we copy from the Newnan Herald, embraces
official information of interest to all interested in the
subject matter referred to—that is, the Income tax on
sales of cotton:
Treasury Department, 1
Office Internal Revenue,Washington, May 19.)
Sib:—Tour letter of May 13th, addressed to Hon.
Secretary of the Treasury, in relation to income from
ealea of cotton in 18«k>, has been referred to this
office.
I reply: That there are numerous instances in the
law where two or more distinct taxes are impoeed
upon the same receipts. For instance, the manufac
turer pays a tax on ail his products, and a license tax
for the business of manufacturing, and in addition an
income tax on his net proht*. Other example* might
be adduced to show that it ia not contrary to the spirit
of the law to impose two or more taxes upon the same
gross receipts.
The payment of the tax of twooantoper pound on
cotton, does not therefore reUeve the owner from pay
ment of income tax on his income from tbe sale of
such cotton. Such tax of two cents per pound may,
however, be deducted from the gross income at tbe
year when it was actually paid. It appears, however,
that you sold, your cottou for the market price lets
such tax. You should therefore return as income the
price actually received, without further deduction for
such tax.
The law expressly requires all produce of the estate,
sold during tbe year, to be returned as Income.—
Therelore the time when such produce was raised can
not be taken into account.
The amount of produce sold by the temer each
year, Is on an average, equal to the amount raised for
sale, and hence no injustice arises from this provision
of the law. Very respectfully,
D. C. Whitman, Deputy Commissioner.
To Sam'1 Freeman, Esq., Newnan, Ga.
A Oabe fob Indictment.—The Bichmond Enquirer
calls the attention of the Grand Jury to the case of
judge Underwood, of whom it says:
•'In order to save the sum of three cento on the let

ments at a saving of two cents to his judicial
pockets, Judge Underwood assumes to frank, as a
senator! He baa ihus franked multitudes of docu
ments and of letters, and defrauded tl)* Federal trea
sury of considerable sums thereby. He hat dearly no
more right to frank those letters and those documents
thas we have to frank our* and this newspaper, and he

Money Ovrcsmqif to CoNTRAcrion.—The 'W^ah
iugton correspondent of the Baltimore Sip gay 8;
It is well known that the great Body afkh* bankers
and financial mtn of Me North ngdaintsll Mainif—t
legislation that can diminish the amount of paper cur
rency, which they contract far their own bendit, and
to the injury of the country. They are. very dei
why, .emdmbyitm gnpt»itM : by
State of Florida and the neegsdities and thad. ststens proposes to admit the
wishes of her people, and we are assured that
the completion of the “connection” will be
hailed by nearly her whole people with joy,
as tbe best and speediest means of relieving
them from their present state of commercial
and social isolation.
The people of Florida are essentially agri
cultural, and though they have shipping
ports, like Femandina, Jacksonville, St.
Marks and Cedar Keys, no one of them af
fords a convenient market or capital suffi
cient at present to concentrate trade, and
consequently the trade of the State is dissemi
nated among a number of small towns, scat
tered at the termini and along the line of
her railroads. The connection which is lo
cated most happily for concentrating the
mass of the traffic of Florida, must produce a
great change in the commercial habits of the
people, bringing them, as it must, into easy
communication with the iqpst prosperous
shipping port and largest market on the
South Atlantic. They will inevitably, and,
we believe, gladly, send their $10,000,000 of
produce to Savannah, where they can com
mand ready shipment and ready sales at the
best figures, and where they can make choice
and cheap purchases for family supply. Our
business men will readily understand such
advantages, and that they must have a great
effect on the prosperity of this city. It has
beea demonstrated by the effect of the At
lantic & Gulf Railroad, in bringing to Sa
vannah tho traffic of Southern Georgia, in
which respect w€ think this Road has been
of more importance to this community, lo
cally, than even our Great Central Railroad.
It has given a greater impulse to our local
trade, simply because tbe people of Southern
Georgia sell aud buy here principally, while
me people of upper Georgia buy and sell at
Columbus, Macon, Atlanta, Augusta, where
the merchants give high prices for pro
duce to enable them to sell supplies to
the planter. It is for this reason
mainly that Savannah is merely a shipping
point for Upper Georgia. But the trade of
Florida moat, for the reason that there are
no large markets in the State, contribute to
build up the local business of Savannah.
We state this in no covetous nor invidious
sense, for it will work a great gam aud no
lose to the people and to the mercantile in
terests oi Florida—the effect of all railroad
enterprise being to distribute as well as to
concentrate capital.
We hope the appeal of Col. Screven will
meet with a prompt and liberal response
from our citizens, who cannot fail to appre
ciate the immense advantages that must re
sult, not only to Savannah, but to our sec.
tion and the country at large, from an im
mediate completion of a line of road which
will connect this point with the railroad sys
tem of the Peninsular State. With the means
required, Col. Screven assures us that the
work can be completed and the road put in
running order by the 1st of October, in time
for the transportation of the next cottoncrop.
In view of this fact, we cannot doubt thlat our
citieens will act efficiently and prompt!^.

REPRESKXTA TIYES OF TENNESSEE.
Washington, Jane 13.—In the Senate today Mr.
Doolittle called up the resolution offered by him yes
terday, requesting the President to communicate to
the Senate any information in hie possession relative
to the departure from Austria of troops for Mexico.
He said he had reasons to believe tbe resolution would
bring Information of a vary satisfactory character. He
felt confident that Mexico was about to be evacuated
by the French troops. Tbs resolution wa* adopted.
The legislative appropriation bill was considered.
Tbe House proceeded to the consideration of the
Constitutional amendment, as reporte^fom the Be.
construction Committee, which had heretofore passed
the House and was amended by the Senate, referring
to the basis of representation, the repudiation of th#
Confederate debt, etc.
Mr. Stevens proposed, and the House attempted to
debate the subject for a short time, speeches being
limited each to fifteen minutes.
Mr. Stevens closed the debate, saying tbe amend
ments were not snch as he desired, as they did not re
cognize the right of the black man to vote. He, how
ever, trusted that something on this subject would be
accomplished by future legislation. He took occasion
to stigmatize the President as a usurper, in under
taking to establish civil government in the seceding
States.
Under his demand for the previous question, the
House concurred in the Senates amendments to th*
Constitutional amendment, by a vote of 120 to 32.
The Speaeer therefore announced the joint resolu
tion passed. Several gentlemen announeed their
reasons for the absence of their colleagues, who they
said if present would have voted for the proposition.
Mr. Eldridge, as a take off upon those gentlemen,
■aid that if Brooks and Voorhees had not been un
seated, they would have voted against the proposi
tion. (Laughter.)
Mr. Schenck retorted by saying ha (tad no donbt
if Jeff. Davis was a member of tbe House he too would
have voted against the amendment. (Laughter.)
On the Republican side the vote consolidated the Re
publicans of everyihade.indudiitg Smith of Kentucky,
Raymond of New York, and Whaley and Lathrop, of
West Virginia; the negative, being composed wholly
of decided Democrats. -
The proposed Constitutional amendment will now
be submitted to tbe legislatures of the respective
States for their action.
Mr. Stevens proposed a substitute for th* pending
bill reported by the Reconstruction Committee, to en*
able the States lately in rebellion tqjregain their privi
leges in the Union. The material point in the substi
tute is the admission of Tennessee with her pretent
senators and representatives. But she is hereafter to
be excluded unless, before the first of January, aha ex
tends the right of suffrage impartially to every class,
besides ratifying the Constitutional amendment to
which reference is above made.
REPORT OF GENS. STEEDMAN AND
FULLERTON.
They Recommend the Restitution off the
Sea Islands to their Owners.
Washington, June 13.—Generals Steedmsn and
Fullerton have furnished to the Secretary of War their
report of the operations of the Freedmen’s Bureau in
the military departments of South Carolina and
Florida. They highly commend Gen. Scott, the As
sistant Commissioner in South Carolina, for the wise
policy that pervades his system of governing and
feeding the freedmen. They recommend the discon
tinuance of employment of citizens ia the Bureau and
instance several cases of the evif effect of the agents
being interested in the working of plantations. They
finally recommend that the tea island lands given to
negroes by Gen. Sberma?** order be returned to th-t-
owners, provided they. pay the freedmen for all im
provements that the latter have made while in posses
sion of the property.
