I presume the citizens of Savannah are not generally aware that by constructing a canal from Lake Harney, the head of steam boat navigation on Ibis river, to Indian river, a distance ot only twelve and a halt miles, there would be a couti nuous inland route for light draught steamers from your city to Ju piter Inlet, six hundred and fifty miles- Two hundred miles of tbe Southern end of foe route lie in a strictly tropical climate. Oranges, lemons, pineapples'and bananas grow there to as perfect a state as anywhere within the belt of the tropics. By the construction of what is called tbe “Live Oak Connection,'’ the people of Geor gia have shown a commendable spirit. -Tier -G don’t stand on ceremony, bat are willing to come among us to cultivate good neighbor ship. That road places Tallahassee and many other important points in this State in daily communication with Savannah by rail road. The travel and traffic thus opened up to your city by the Gulf Railroad will ex ceed the expectations of the most sanguine- Since the autumnal gales the weather is most favorablu for cotton. The crop is now being gathered, a good share of which will find its way to your market. Box the political compass as you will, it points all the time Radical. Every olection return from the North is an echo of triumph for the Jacobins. If the Freedmen’s Bureau bill, tbe Civil Rights bill, the Constitutional amendment nnd Brownluw’s programme are to be forced upon the South, better by far accept the terms proposed by Chief Justice Chase : “Universal amnesty and universal suffrage.” Under this regulation negroes and white folks would start even, and the two races would demonstrate to the world by a fair race which was to lead. Our Legislature meets the second Wednes day in November. The choice of a C. 8. Senator gives more than ordinary interest to the session. I suppose the collected wisdom of the State will choose the ‘‘flttlnes! man’ to that high office. The objections urged against Gov. Marvin are numerous—he as sumes to rule and not represent the people— aiUapologist for radicals in this State whom their neighbors and the people generally de test, &e. Judge J. -J. Finley and others are mentioned in connection with that office. The sale of the Florida Rill road meets with general favor. The step was necessary to put it in operation. By tbe first of Janu ary next it is hoped trains will pass between Fcrnaadina and Cedar Keys. Fred. LETTER FROM 6KN. TILL SON. ‘ Not long since we published a series of re solutions passed by a meeting of the citi zens of Henry county, in this State, in regard to alleged outrages committed upon the Freedmen living in that county. The following reply to thoae resolutions from Gen. Tillson, we find in the Augusta Chroni cle of the 19th inst.: Hd’qu Sub-Dist. or Geobgia, 1 Ami Adj. Gen.'s Office. S August*, Oa., Ocr. IS, 18G0. ) Gentlemen : I have tbe boner to acknowledge tbe receipt of your communication or tbe 8th inat., for warding copies of resolutions adopted In pubbe meet ing I y tbe citizens of Henry county. In reply, 1 beg leave to moke tbe following state* moot: On the 18th Ray of last, reports reached these headquarters of outrages upon freed people and threats on the part of the citizens to shoot Mr. Philips, agent of the Bureau, if he dared to arrest any person for whipping a "damondnegro.”- May 25.—Similar reports were received. July 20. Information reached these headquarters of the existence of a gang of Jayhawkers in Henry county, who were whipping, robbing and killing freed people, and driving them from plantations where they were employed. Jnly 31.—I addressed a letter to the Judges of the Interior Court and the Sheriff of Henry county, call ing upon the civil authorities to enforce the laws and protect the freed people. This letter was sent through Ur. Philips, who re ported its delivery, and the reply of the Judges and Sheriff that they “could not do anytliiug.” He fur ther reported that the outrages upon the freed people awilcoaiifjgued. ArifiS* 32.—One Ck D. Gardiner whipped a ireed- girl m5at unmercifully. The blood was oozing Horn her hack and arms when she presented herself before the agent. Gardiner was arrested by the soldiers on duty with the agent, and afterwards released on a writ of habeas corpus Issued by the Hon. 8. O. McDaniel, Judge of the County Court. The agent was instructed to re-arrest Ur. Gardiner and hold him uuder Gen eral Orders Ho. M (O. S.) from Headquarters of the Army—unless tile civil authorities instituted proceed ings against him. The Judge of the county was in formed of tha instructions to the agent. About that time the gang uf outlaws, before referred to, murdered a treedwomau. The agent reported that he aaked the Judge if the guilty parties would be tried by him if they were arrested by the agent. The Judge replied that he would not—that the arrest would be illegal. In addition to these reports, others were received from Captain Walbridgo, V. 8. A.. Com missioner at Atlanta, and Captain Killers at Griffin— that freed people who bad been subjected to crnelues in Henry county, had appeared before them tonu.ku complaint—bearing upon their bruised aad bloody persona the proof ot their statements. Capt Walbrldgo states that frequent complaints reached him from Henry county, that the inhabitants attacked the scholars and teachers of lreedmen schools stoned them on their way home and threatened •< to kill every damned nigger or white man who up held the csUbliahmeut and continuation of the nigger school.” He further states that he notified the civil authorities and called upon them to remedy toe evil, but they took no notice of it, aud claimed they could not. Iu one mstanoe a freedwoman was tearfully buaton—her person outraged and afterwards subjected to cruelties so atrocious and revolting that a descrip tion would be unfit for publication. On one occasion, after Mr. Poillips had arrested a man in pursuance of orders from these Headquarters —a mob of armed citizens of the couuty, numbering thorn one hundred to two hundred, compelled Mr. Philips to release the prisoner. On another occasion a United Stales soldier in the performance of his duty, was fired upon, and on many uthor occasions the rightful authority of thu Government of the United States has been insulted, defied aud treated with con tempt by the citizens and civil authorities uf Henry couuty. Mr. Phillips reported to me personally, that he called upon the Sheriff of Henry couuty, aud a,ked him to arrest certain parties charged with commitiiug outrages on freed people. The Sheriff replied that ”it would be unpopular to pnnish white men for any thing done to u negro; itmlgtit be unsafe; that he was not going to obey tbe orders of any damned Yankee, and that the rebellion was hot over yet in Hpnry county.” Pacts which have come to my knowledge through other Bourocs leave hut little room to doubt the trutu of this report. But whether or not the civil authori ties have et any time used the language reported, Is of little oonsequence: it can be established by positive proof that they have not diligently exercised their authority to preserve order and maintain peace, aud that they have shown no little activity in releeeiug How Forney Tnlks to the President. [Correspondence of the Philadelphia Pre-s. Washington, Oct. 11,1866. In the summer of 1865, while Andrew Johnson was contriving and conspiring with the Copperheads, he told more than one of tbe sympathizers: with treason that if there was an attempt to impeach him he would arrest both Houses of Congress. At that time the idea of resorting to the ultimate constitutional remedy was so far from the conception of the Republican leaders that those of them who believed he was plotting with the enemies of his country, and preparing to betray the party that had elected him Vico President, were so few that when they gave ntterauee to their suspi cions they were ridiculed or denounced. Vet it is susceptible of proof that, more than a year' ago, he spoke of aruabnir Congress to prevent his impeach ment to the just-defeated Heister Clymer, when that personage visited Washington and began tbe confi dential intercourse which ended in bis nomination as the Copperhead candidate for Governor of Pennsyl vania. A fact so patent aud potential proves that while Andrew Johnson was projecting treason, to his friends and his country, be Was also sutieipsting the punishment of that treason. The current threat of impeachment is therefore simply tbe echo of his own m fears.: But Andrew Johnsou can avoid the ntion he has deliberately courted ever since the recoyery ot William H. Seward. Even he must by Jthis time be convinced that the American people have to tar recovered their power thit they are equal-to any emergency, and more than equal to his extremeat treachery. That Congress coulu impeach him and ho sustained by the people is sufficiently de monstrated by the manner in which the peopld car ried the late elections over his head, in spite of'his frauds, patronage and combinations. Three short days ago he attempted to feel the popular pulse hi re gard to his favorite revolutionary programme. The iDstaut aud terrible repudiation, even of the hint of that oulrjgc, extorted from him an equally instant denial of wuat he has so long been plotting. The only way for him to avoid impose iment Is 'a retnovo the causes for impeachment It is, X repeat, me most childish folly to suppose that the great American peo ple far to exercise their rights under the Constitution agalust a faithless, insane, or tyrannical Executive, and lie will realize this fact sooner than any other if he attempts to defy or take issue with them. It re mains with Andrew Johnson, between now and the short session of the Thirty-ninth Congress, to decide whether or not the representatives of the American people shall arraign him for impeachment according to the forms of the National Constitution.

Fa.: My Deab Sib:— In my recently published history of the war, entitled “The Lost Oauue,” 1 have devoted an entire chapter to the exchange of prisoners and their treatment In the prieotfs of each belligerent. . I have on these subjects stated certain f*c a which 1 believe Xvere not entirely known even to the people of the South, and which appear to have startled the Northern public and to have shaken the judgment formed at the trial of Wire. The New York Times says theso statements “might deserve attention, if tho author gave i is authority for them.” Now. sir, will you do me the favor to examine tbe chapter of “Tko Lost Cause” referred to, and say how liir its statements are sustained by your correspon dence and personal recollections in your offioe of Confederate Commissioner for tho exchange of prisoners. / I refer especially to those statements which contain the now version ot Andersonville, aud the extraordinary circumstance that, in 1861. the Confederate authorities offered to return the sick wad wounded Federal soldiers without equivalents I Ex cuse mv troubling you with the inquiry. But the a uestion is of "great importance; if ia a vital.point in 10 historical reputation of the South; and lam not disposed to pasB by a challenge so distinct aud pointed as that of the Times.

Young Man Murders lifts Futlter, Confesses Ills Crime, aud Accuse* his Mother ot Being in Accessory. [Augusta (Ill.)

The following are the particu lars; ‘‘It appears that tbe father, Jesse Rose, has been in the habit of drawing the money his son bad earned by their labor in tbe neighborhood, and said-he was going to draw some due the eldest son, who is nineteen years old, oft Friday last. His son told him if he did he would kill him. The father went to a spell ing school on that day, but, it appears, did not get the money.

Be fore his father arrived the younger brother became frightened at tho deed contemplated, and fled. As Rose parsed tbe stump tbe oldest son struck him with the axe he had with him, knocking his brains out, and then cut his throat with a batcher knife, leaving tbe body lying until morning, when he gave the alarm to the neighbors, who found the body oil Saturday morning, some three Jiub- dred yards from the house.

After Jefferson Da vis was taken prisoner, Mrs. Davi3 sent this little colored boy (almost white, howevef), about seven years old, to General Saxton, with a lefer, iu which she told him this story: She said that in 1861, passing a house in Richmond, she heard a child scream, and going iu, found this child, whose mother was a freo colored woman, who left him at ber death in the care of others, who ill treated him. Mrs. Davis said she took .the child home, and they all became very fond o>f him. Hu shared tiu-ir fortunes and mislortanue, and when obliged to fly from Richmond they took him wi ll l liera She requested General Saxton to treat him well, which it is not ne cessary to aay be did. But when General Saxton was removed from the Department, he gavu. tbe child to the care of .one of tbe tcacherg of tbc Educational Commission, wno has brought him North, and introduced him to Christian institutions last Sunday.
