I The President has informed Jack Hamil-
I ton that he need not return to Itexas.
It is now stated, on the authority of the
[ Washington correspondent of the Phila-
i delpkia Age, that the House Committee on
■ i {'d -sr>* 1 the Judiciary will soon submit a report, iu
- * ’ ,ri - vr> ' ' ; which they will attempt to connect Mr.
A tusertlon, $1.50, eaeh inser- ; J 1
o' 1 s i Davis with the assassination of Mr. Lincoln.
It is said that General Grant will be nomi
nated for President by the Negro Suffrage
Convention at Philadelphia in September.—
cept a nomination from the- Republican
party. He expresses himself strongly in
favor of the Constitutional amendment.
A proclamation from the President announc
ing the restoration of Texas to the LTnion, and
declaring in unequivocal terms the abolition
of martial law in t he South, may be looked
for in a day or two.
It is understood that the President will cot
nominate Postmaster General Dennison’s
successor for some time yet. The duties of
the office will be discharged iu the interim by
Mr. Randall, the Fiist Assistant Postmaster-
General. He is still prominently mentioned
as the next head of the Post Office Depart
ment. It is thought, however, that, he will
succeed Harlan iu the Interior Department,
and the Postmaster-Generalship will be
tendered to Hon. Montgomery Blair, al
though, as stated yesterday, he is said not
to be a candidate.

Mr. Editor A* you desire - 4

signers to Jbe call for a meeting of the so- 1
called “Loyal.Unionists 'of Georgia.’' 1 pro
pose to enlighfen yon tor the extent of my
limited knowledge ol the man. Mr. Cole is
a New Englander by birth aud education,
hut has resided in or near Marietta, ic this
State, for upwards of twenty years—duriug
which period, by speculation and the execu
tion of fat contracts on the Western A At
lantic Railroad be accumulated a very
handsome fortune. He waB* formerly a
Henry Clay Whig, and, if I am not mistaken,
acted wit the Co-operation party of Georgia
in the campaign of 18. r >9-’60. He has always,
since my first acquaintance with him in ISIS,
been a decided Union man ; and, although
possessing some of the disgusting character
istics peculiar to tlie people of the section
whence he hails, was genially respected by
the people among whom he resided. He was
bitterly opposed to secession, and conse
quently to the war growing out of it. 1 learn
that during the war he rendered himself ob
noxious to our military authorities, by whom
he was arrested and Bent a prisoner to Rich;
mond. I know nothing, however, of the
immediate cause of his arrest, or of the
period of his detention by the Confederate
authorities. Mr. Cole, 1 believe, still resides
in Marietta.

Dear Sis:—Our village, nsualfy quiet, was
thrown into a state of considerable excite
ment on Saturday afternoon last by the en
actment of one, of the most horrible tragedies
it has been my uiislortune to witness. The
parties to the affair were A. J. Purslev and
W. IV. Smith. It appears that a feeling of
animosity has existed between them for sev
eral mouths, and perhaps mutual threats
had been made.; at any rate, Smith (who
lives some miles off ! came here on Saturday
and after passing each other frequently, they
met iu a^tbrJ, 'when some inuueudoes were
indulged iu, and before the bystanders were
aware pt, it th«y--botb being armed, Smith
with a ilonble-barreled gun and Pnrsley with
a Colt’s navy pistol had commenced firing.
Pnrsley was shot in the left side below the
rib witli the entire contents of one barrel,
which ranged obliquely to the right hip. He
expired in a few minutes, nof, however, uu
til he had discharged two barrels of his pis
tol. Smith .’eft immediately. 1 understand
he received a slight wound in one of his
arms. A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of Smith. I presume, if taken, the
case will undergo legal examination, and
I therefore refrain from giving the various
rmnors ailoat in relation to the matter.
The farming interest in this section has
suffered very material injury from the
drought. We are receiving very grateful
showers now, and hopes are entertained that
the languishing crops will revive and make
somewhat after all.

reposed will not be misplaced, aud that an impartial
discharge of the duties of the office will justify their
support.
The scenes of anarchy and confusion through which
we have passed, I hope will never return, and I con

again thrown open for the redress of grievances aud

was stated by several gentlemen that Mr. Se
ward had recently expressed the opinion that
the President ought to and would call the
Southern members and Senators elect to
gether, and recognize them as the Constitu
tional Congress. Gov. Hamilton, ol Texas,
addressed the caucus iu strong denunciation
of the policy ol the President, speaking of
its bad results iu his own State aud elsewhere
throughout the South. A resolution pledg
ing those present to secresy was passed, and
the caucus adjourned, after appointing a
Committe of nine to consider the subject of
takiDg a recess till December, or adjourning
to report at the next caucus, tbe time for
which was not fixed.
The correspondent of the New York World
gives some further ludicrous incidents of the
Radical caucus. The writer says while they
were debating the resolution of secrecy a
man was espied seated in the gallery. Tliad.
Stevens cried out, “Damn him, bring him
down here ; he's a newspaper reporter or an
agent of the Frcedmen’s Bureau.” In a few
moments the doorkeeper brought tbe un
lucky individual to the bar of the house,
where he proved to be a negro half fright
ened to death. “How did you get in here?”
asked a dozen members: “Come in tie the,"
replied the fieedman. He was again asked
it he did not know this was a caucus. The
con'raband replied, with the white ol his eye
in a fine frenzy rolling, that he did not know
what a caucus was. He thought this was
Congress. Several members said he was the
Tribune correspondent, and on this charge
he was quickly hustled out. It appears that,
when the yeas and nays were called on the
resolution declaring that no Republican

dC A P t wd re Rl y®°nd sat in hi9 seat
and declined to answer t„ his name. Judge
Hate, of the Essex District, alone voted
against the resolution. Anderson, of Mis
souri, said it would be worth t en thousand
votes to the Republican party to kick Ray
mond out of the caucus. Among the most
revolutionary speeches made in the caucus
was one from BoutwelJ, of Massachusetts
who intimated that he had been informed by
Seward that if the Southern representatives
were not admitted to Congress, the Presi
dent intended to recognize them and the
Democratic members as the Constitutional
Congress, and turn the radical fection out of
the Capitol.

Pensions in the Southern States. —The
following has just qeen promulgated:
In resuming the execution of the pension
laws in the several States heretofore in insur
rection, the Secretary of the Interior directs
that attention be drawn to the following act
of Congress:
An act authorizing the Secretary of the In
terior to strike from the pension rolls the
names of such persons as have taken up
arms against the Government, or who may
have in any manner encouraged the*rebels.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States iu Con
gress assembled, That the Secretory of the
Interior be, and he is hereby authorized and
directed to strike from the pension rolls tbe
names of all such persons as have or may
hereafter take up arms against the Govern
ment of the United States, or who have in
any manner encouraged the rebels, or mani
fested a sympathy for then cause. Approved
Feb. 4, 1862.
In accordance with the provisions of this
act, the names of all pensioners who have re
sided within the insurrectionary States dur
ing the rebellion, and whose pensions were
payable at any one of the following places,

and Morgantown, N. C.; Charleston, S. C.;
Nashville, Knoxville, Jonesboro, and Jackson,
Tenn,; Jackson, Miss.; New Orleans, La,;
Savannah, Ga.; Jacksonville, Tallahassee and
Pensacola, Flo., Huntsville, Tuscaloosa and
Mobile, Ala.; and Little Rock and Port Gib
son, Ark., are hereby dropped from tbe pen
sion rolls. Pereons heretofore receiving pen
sions at the above named agencies, who still
claim the benefits of the pension laws, must
make application for restoration to the rolls,
with the requisite evidence, in accordance
with the forms aud instructions published
here witli. John H. Barrett,
Commissioner of Pensious.
Successful Treatment of Hidrophobia.
—A dog wh ich showed signs of rabies re

communicating the disorder to other dogs
and doing other mischief. Abont a month
ago a servant girl in Mr. Higgs’ service was
tying up the dog, when the animal bit her on
the right tbnmb. She experienced no se
rious results until Tuesday, when her arm,
thumb and chest became considerably swol

ness, stiffness and numbness, the arm being
so stiff that she was almost unable to move
it. Mr. Higgs sent for Mr. Pope, surgeon of

Chronicle-
The last Legislature lias, by an act, tiikuii nearly all
tiio judicial powers from the Inferior Court, and trans
ferred them to the County Court, aud reduced a large
class or felonies to misdemeanors, which are punish
able by fine, imprisonment, chain-gang, whipping,
* blotted from our statute book all dis-
nruinatious on account of color, and the colored freed-
man stands upon the same footing iu the Courts of
Georgia as the white man.
GeutlemoiiYou. as a Grand Inquest of this county
or.* required by your oaths, “to diligently enquire and
true presentments make of all such matters and
things as shall Ik? given you in charge, or shall come
to your knowledge, touching the present service; the
State’s counsel, your fellows', and your own, you shall
keep secret unless called ou to give evidence thereof
in some court of law in this State. You shall present
no ohe for envy, hatred or malice, nor shall you leave
auy one unpreaentod from fear, favor, affection or re

Whilst Grand •! urors are bound only to notice or
make presentments of such offences as may or shall
come to-their knowledge or observation alter they
have been sworn, yet they have the right and power,
and it is their dnty, as jurors, to make presentments
of any violation of the laws which they may know to
have been committed at auy previous time, which are
not barred by the statute of limitations.
T am conscious that I have onerous and important
duties to perform, and in many cases it will be quite
embarrassing to discriminate between tho testimony
of the parties at variance, however, I can only promise
that I will perform my duty to tho best of my ability
and according to law. I do not mean to say that there
cannot be errors of Jaw and fact in trials here, but if
such error be committed there is a higher tribunal

can baldly be a failure of justice.
In conclusion, l now humbly solicit the favor of
Him who is the authof of our being, aud from whom
all blessings come, aud that He impart to my mind
sufficient understanding, and so direct it that I may
be enabled to judge justly between all parties that
may come before me.
