r Volume 2. sia;?ifc .5YJA# fill A innal h] Georgia,. Tuesday ,vNott*nber Boutwell Drawing the gr*« “ Radical Pro- Hon. George S. Boutwell, one of tbe most prominent radical members of Confess, de livered a speech in Boston on the night after bis re-election, in which he ontlined the' probable policy of his party. After insisting that there could be no final settlement of the questions before tbe country until suffrage without respect of color was allowed by the South, Mr..B- proceeded to disclose the means by which the South was to be forced to comply with the radical demands. We copy from a telegraphic report: Coming next to a discussion of policy, which the fortieth Congress should adopt, jl r . Boutwell said two great ends must be brought about: First, universal suffrage. One way of obtaining this'was by holding me States as they now are until by their own motion they do justice to the colored people. ’ Congress mag abolish the governments of these States, and establish territorial government, and declare who shall and who shall not vote. This is most likely tbe result to which the action of Congress now tends. The destruc- nou of these false governments, and the formation of constitutional governments. The next object to be accomplished was the punishment of the President, if he should be tound guilty of unconstitutional acts. It he was guilty of unconstitutional acts, he was guilty of violating any of the laws of tbe land, the lecturer argued that he snould be arraigned. For the purpose of showing that the Presi dent had violated existing law9, and that there were charges against him of grave Inundations, Mr. Boutwell cited two instances. We know he has said that he has appointed men to office who canuot take the oath of July, 1862, because they have aided and comforted the enemy; and again, that he also appointed men to office who, at the last session of Congress, were rejected by that body when offered for the very same offices in (which he had placed them, and tbe law says that the appointments of the Executive must have the consent of the Senate. Mr. Boutwell, in his conclusion, predicted that if tbe Kepublican party did not secure universal suffrage before 1868, it would fall out of sight. Tok Nkgbous Emigrating.—If newspaper accounts be true, Northern Georgia will soon be depopulated of negroes. A Galves ton paper announces tbe arrival there of Maj. Sorrell, who bad entered into contracts with live hundred negro families under the sanction aud recommendation of the Bureau of this State to remove them to Texas. They are to be transported to Galvebton before Christmas, in time to commeuce for the crop of 1807. Maj. Sorrel informs tbe editor that there are thousands of the best laboring freedmen in Georgia, who are anxious to enter into such contracts as be has made, and move to Texas; that large numbers ot them in Northern and Middle Georgia who are in a destitute condition, owing to the failure of the crops, are anxious to secure homes where they can obtain provisions by their labor and make themselves and families comfortable. Sowing tiib Wind.—We observe by some ol our exchanges, published in tbe North west, that petitions tor tbe impeachment of the President are circulating and receiving numerous signatures iu that section. Tbe circular which accompanies these petitions justifies the action on the ground that it is “unsafe to trust power in the hands of a man whose lawless usurpation may peril, at any hour, the safety and peace of the Re public.” There is no doubt that petitions of this kind will pour into CoDgress in a stream, during the coming session. The teachings of the Radical leaders have filled their party with the idea that the President ought to be impeached, and the course which they are now taking in the Northwest is the conse quence. Colobbd ijuFFRAGu in Michigan.—The de cision of the Supreme Court of Michigan, that persons with less than one-fonrth African blood in their veins are ‘'white men,” within the meaning of the Constitu tion, enfranchised probably one thousand mea. Some of the Boards ol Registration of Detroit city, notwithstanding tbe decision, positively refused to permit men of this class to register their names, and undoubtedly would have relused their votes, bad they not been threatened with arrest. When tbe election came on, tbe inspectors. wisely “hauled in their boms,” and tbe parties re ferred to voted. lu the couutiy towns equal, difficulties prevailed, aud in many plaees the votes of persons with negro blood in their veins were positively refused, and the question will probably furnish work for the courts aa the colored people are resolved to insist upon their rights. . Sharp ob General Thomas.. . k It having been announced by' the Lodi#-! ville papers that the remains of the late ft, W. Hanscln were to be brought to that city! for reinterment by his widow,’ add that they would be receiveff -by the survivors of his' brigade, Gen. Thomas, commafider ot the Department, issued an order prohibiting any demonstration of a military character on the occasion, threatening to arrest any one “wearing the- uniform or side arms or earry- ing the flag of the late rebel army, or march ing by military organization.” The Louis ville Conner says no such military , demon stration was intended, and characterises, tbe order, of Gen. Thomas as a wanton and un justifiable outrage upon the feelings of the friends of the deceased Confederate officer. “A very petty piece of spiteful usurpation, as undignified as it was uncalled for." Tbe editor thus concludes his article: It 1. time that military commanders should be re minded ol the tact that Kentucky is a State of the Union, enjoying ail the rigbta and prerogatives of any ot the States; that; the habeas corpus is restored; that aU the machinery or the civil law is in full operation, and that military capers are as impertinent as they are disgusting. Tbe assay is maintained for **iiist- curity of the country and for the protection, notThe oppression, of the people. The bread, the army sate and the gold lace which makes the shoulder straps of tbe officers are paid lor with money drawn from the pockets of the people, and the same power which created the army and brought the military autocrats into existence can,abolish the army ant 1 trample shoulder strap* in the, dust. It la fuU time that the reckless interference with private citizens should cease. The war isomer; the reign of violence is at an end; civil law has resumed its away and displaced military rigor, and nothing now remains bat to teach military offleta's that they are the servants and not the masters of the people; and that their .duty it to protect the nation and not to act ttie part df under takers at funerals; to await orders and not to give them. We trust that this lesson will soon be learned. An Extraordinary Story.—The Parkersburg (West Virginia) Times publishes a very singular statement from a man named Robert 8. Steinway, who has been arrested as tbe murderer of one A. O. Temple, a New Yorker, who mysteriously disappeared a few weeks ago in the vicinity of Burning Springs. The missing man had been, it is stated, in the company of tlie accused, traveling through the.oil regions Of Ohio aud West Virginia, aud was last seen with him on a ramble near Burning Springs on Sunday, October 28. Stem way’s letter, which is very minute and circum stantial, is to the effect that the two discovered a re markable cave near the bank of the Kanawha, entered through a narrow cleft iu the rocks, which they pro ceeded to explore. Ur. Temple had a geologist's ham mer and a sack for BpecimouB, which he filled as he" went through the qavern. After elow progress through several subterranean apartments, the pair came upon a lake, sixty feet long by twenty wide, which, to their astonishment and unbounded delight, they found contained not water, but Petroleum 1 Temple at tempted to measure the depth of it with his hammer, wheu the loose atones on which he stood gave way, and he fell into the liquid, aud, weighed down with the epecimeue, never rose again. Steinway, in spite of his horror, was able to find bis way out and baek to his hotel; and then, being resolved to secure the bene fits of his discovery, said nothing about the fate of his friend until he could get a lease of the property con taining the wonderful petroleum cave. To this lease, made in favor of the heirs of the missing man, he points to substantiate hia story and prove his inno cence, 'and signs himself “ a friendless and grief- stricken man.” • Panic in the Meat Market—The New York World of Tuesday notes quite a panic in the meat .market of that city, in conse quence of a decline in prices. It has a dis patch from Buffalo, which alleges that , the Western drovers, who have been holding large quantities; are heavy losers.” The World adds: “Tbe extraordinary decline in pork and ‘ hog products ’ during the past month re sulted on Monday in the failure of one large operator and one or two ‘small fry.’ The decline in mess pork has been from $36 to $24 25, prime lard from 19 1-2 c. to 14 l-4c. per lb., pickled hams from 19 l-2c. to 151-2C. per lb. Ltve hogs from 12 l-2c. to 7 l-2c. per lb.; dressed, from 13 l-2c. to 9 l-2c. per lb.; and so on. Beef declined on Mon day equal to lc. a pound to tbe consumer, making about 3c. in the last month. And the lowest prices above quoted are still high. In the secoud year of the war pork sold at $13 per barrel. Speculators mast stand from .under • France and the Poem.—The London Times states that the Tope has been informed by tbe Emperor Napoleon that France will uphold his>~ temporal power - against all c'omere, and reoccupy Rome in case of re bellion or invasion. A special Commissioner was appointed by tbe Emperor to acquaint the Holy Father with this resolve. i he Tau4hahsbb Sentinel.—This excel lent paper comes to us greatly enlarged, and, like its cotemporary, the Floridian, presents a most handsome and flourishing appearance.

The Death or the Tycoon of Japan.—We learn from a.dispatch by the Atlantic Cable that the war in Japan is ended, and that the report of the death of the Tycoon is confirmed. The war Irose from the revolt of one of the numerous hereditary princes, or chieftains—200 iu number, it is said—among whom the Japanese empire is divided. Of these princes the Tycoon is the chief, hut they are all subject to the authority of the Mikado, or supreme ruler of Japan, who is the spiritual leader of the emp|re. Until with in a late period it was believed tbat the Tycoon was the temporal head of the .empire, who carried .on the government in the name of the Mikado, bur more ac curate knowledge of hia office and rank baa recently been obtained, from which it appears that he is but the first of the hereditary princes, Asaocti, however, he enjoys very considerable powers, and is general issimo of the imperial army. The name of the late Tycoon was Mino Motto.—N^Y* p'iburw.
