[Prom an occasional correspondent.]
New York, December 5, 1866. •
»To the Editors of the News and Herald :
A year in this great city of New York
has presented many thingB which, were they
transcribed to paper] and presented to your
readers, would doubtless afford them much
interest, being as it is the great metropolis of
the land, and the great bulwark between the
Radical malignity of the present day and the
Southern people, who are nated by these
enemies with all bitterness. New York
City, of the whole North, has alone tendered
a hospitable and welcome band to the South
ern man, ruined and desolate by the
late war, which brought wealth to
her and the entire North, and by her
manner she has shown that, had she The
power, old things would speedily be forgot
ten, and new ones tepding to promote peace
and prosperity be instated. This was par
ticularly shown in the late election; when,
thongh reckless fanaticism and madhatred
raged rampant, and carried the Slate beyond
the pale of conservatism, the city gave to
the Conservative candidate a larger majority
than had ever previously beer polled for any
aspirant to political honors. But “madness
rules, the hour,” and what is left for the
South to do ? Simply to wait, test in calm
dignity upon her sense of right, srust in
Providence to do her justice; and overcome
the hatred ol those in power over her, and,
in the mean time, develope her immense re
sources until wealth takes the place of her
present poverty, and let the rage of her con
querors foment until some good to her works
itself out.
TbiB must, in the order of things, inevita
bly be accomplished. See the results of the
Radical working. Trade is paralyzed. The
products of the South, forming, as they do, the
chief source of wealth to the nation, are cut
off. Men are afraid to invest their capital, lest
the little security granted for the protection of
the interests of Southern men shall be in
sufficient to prevent its all being swept away,
and civil war is threatening to absorb every
thing in the cruel and vindictive cry of more
blood, or power unlimited. Aud the picture
is not overdrawn—unfortunately ’tis too true;
and unless common sense and reason resume
their control, not only the South, but the-
whole country must inevitably become
ruined and desolate ; bnt we 'cannot believe
that passion wifi always reign supreme, but
that sooner or later the people will open
their eyes, throw overboard their unprinci
pled, ambitious leaders, and commit the
guidance of the Government to those-whose
policy is established on the broad principles
of right and justice.
Then let the South wait tor future devel
opments ; but while waning, let her not fold
her hands in restlessness, but go to work,
raise her cotton, tobacco and grain, and
above all increase her manufacturing facili
ties. That she has as fine as any country on
the globe was most signally demonstrated by

FROM MII“I“EDGEVILiI“E-
[Special Correspondence ot the News and Hkbald.]
Milledgeville, December 10, 1866.
Both houses have gone to work with an
unprecedented degree of industry and ener
gy, and if they do not adjourn on Friday
next, it will be no fault of tboir's. The
Senate now holds two sessions per day, and
the House three. Most of the important bu
siness has been acted on by the House, and a
good deal of it has been acted upon by both
Houses, and only awaits the action of the
Governor. ■_ . ,
Both Houses have passed the stay law, the
features of which are known to your read
ers, as it has been published in full. No
doubt is entertained here by members but
that the Governor, will veto it.' A strong
effort will be. made to pass it over the veto,
and it will nn doubt be successful.
The redemption bill, as it is called, which
allows the redemption, within two years, of
real estate sold under execution, passed on
Saturday night last. If it should be vetoed,
it cannot get a two-thirds vote. I am in
duced to make this remark from the very
majority by which the bill was passed
in the House. • ..
State aid to the Savannah, Griflin and -North
Alabama Railroad, after having been lost in
the House, reconsidered and lost again, not
withstanding its passage by the Senate, can
not now be entertained by the House, except
by a two-thirds vote. An effort will be made
to get the two-thirds vote, but it will be an
up-hill business. I have heard outsiders,
who know more of the matter than I do, say
that this is-really the most meritorious pro
ject of the kind which has been before this
General Assembly- On the score of equal
distribution of favors, this road certainly is
as much entitled to State aid as any other.
The House passed, on Saturday last, the
jwq most important and most absolutely
necessary bills of the session. I refer to the
general appropriation bill and the revenue or
tax bill. The specific appropriations are un
usually large. No less than one million of
dollars are appropriated by tliia bill. I note

Alabama, in manufacturing cotton goods
daring the late war, showing clear'y her in
dependence of New England in this respect.
Build np new, and work bo:h these and the
old factories, and then let them pile on the
protective tariff as much as they please, and
we will see who will be most benefitted by
it, the South or New England. Fanaticism
and hatred will do all it can to farther hu
miliate and degrade the conquered land, but
only touch the pocket of the conquerors, and
fanaticism, hatred and all else will yield,
for in these States the almighty dollar is of
all things the most potent. Already the
Radical policy is working to bring about its
legitimate result, and only total blindness
prevents it from being seed. Take for in
stance the shipping interests of the country;
see how they have been affected on account
of the unsettled state ot Southern labor, kept
by the Freedmen’s Bureau (under pretence of
protecting the “poor black”) from assuming
the natural channel which the interests of all
parties wonld hollow out for it-preventing, as
It does, the production of the Southern sta
ples in anything like the usual supply, and
even when, by almost superhuman effort, the
planter has managed .to secure a limited
crop, the Government interferes and tells
him his cotton cannot be moved until the
Internal Revenue tax has been paid thereon
We have been informed that in several
instances no officer has been appointed to re
ceive the tax, and the cotton is thus forcibly
held a dead weight on all parties. What must
be the result of these things ? Simply this,
that foreign countries will turn their eyes to
India, Egypt and the East, and improve
what has already been commenced towards
supplying themselves with these necessary
articles of commerce, and we sha'l see in fu
ture, developed more than now, trade carried
away from the. shores of this country; and
transferred between foreign lands, while we
wifi be shut out in the cold and suffer. We
hope these things will be bettered, that the
eyes of the people will be opened, ana that
they wifi see that the curses they pour out
upon the desolate and prostrate South will
recoil upon their own heads in tenfold pro
portion.
Bnt let us, for toe present, leave these
unpleasant themes. They may be further
discussed in future letters. Let us turn to
other things of interest which transpire
around us.
On Sunday last we were somewhat aston
ished at * “religious” notice in the Herald,
that the Rev- (?) Dr. Cheever was going to
preach (?)on the “Constitutional Amend
ment.” We can forgive you, ob! unaophisti-
cated Southern reader! for starting in aston
ishment. We know that you (though cer
tain reverends of the North have published
the fact that you chained your slaves to
posts and whipped them with cowhides until
South has ever shown), they are quoted ^hd
made to apply solely to the black mw . 7
He spoke . against the Cauhtstioas
Amendment, said that it-was an inatMcawt
for defrauding the negro of his rights, and
the hand of God himself was against it. He
claimed thpt the black man was a citizen of
the land, and no amendment to the Consti
tution could, under any ciroomstancea, de
prive him of the right of suffrage. This was
the drift of his discourse. For convenience
sake he might occasionally mention God and
the Bible; hut most of his remarks were
breathings of threatenings and slaughter
against the'“Rebels” and the Executive, and
the so -called minister of the Prince of Peace
became the minister of the God of War.
Another discourse was delivered by an
other reverend, having for tys subject “The
Naked Truth.” This might mislead -some
people into the belief that they were to hear
a purely religions sermon; bat it tanrediQat
to be a tirade against a certain theatre which
nightly produces a piece in wbioh the
clothing worn is very scant, so the title was
very significant, and this might have all been
very well, had not the end been a laudation
of the New York Herald, in which toe said
theatre does not advertise, and which has
thus excited the -ire ol that sheet. In fact,
the divine ceased altogether from his origi
nal discourse, and advised another paper to
follow the lead of the Herald, and advocate
the Constitutional Amendment.
We cannot bnt believe that did thia estab
lishment advertise in the New York Herald,
that paper wonld be loud-monthed in the
prais, s of the piece. Certainly as long as cer
tain advertisements headed “Personal,” Ac.,
are permitted in its columns, it eannot lay
claim to superior morality. We agree with
it in the belief that were it not for the many
good people in New York, toe city wonld
share the late of Sodom and Gomorrah, bnt
we areDot disposed to class among the good
the above mentioned specimens.
Certainly, Sunday here is foil of incidents
strange and interesting .to your Southern
readers; and while radicalism and fanaticism
rules rampant, only a few who have not
bowed the knee to Baal, can or will regard it
as the Lord’s day.
Bnt we have already written more than we
intended, and We fear a prosy letter will be
the result. The amusements, which flourish
here in all their gloiy, have yet to be de
scribed, bnt they will probably be better ap
preciated in a future letter. Ristori is about
leaving us. She is a great actress, and if your
people can have a chance to see her it will
well repay them. I believe she makes a
Bobthia
announced us coming,
Hamlet,” a character decidedly bisown and
in which he is very striking. A season ol
Italian opera is also announced, and the
gaiety of the great metropolis is nnab&ted,
even though the country may be rushing on
to maducss.
All these things may be read with interest,
and we hope to be able to give them freely
to your readers. In the meantime, rest as
sured New York city will wag along, and hi
the continual surging and tossing of human
life within her borders many an item wifi be
thrown to the surface, which we hope to
gather, aod present to you as specimens of
the weeds which grow and flourish in the
dark depths of society here, even unknown
to the dwellers, unless by chance it drift
wiiiiiD their reach.
Yours, &c., Guuelhus.

Policy of the Democratic Cosgi
The Washington correspondent of tho Claotonsti
Enquirer telegraphs that piper as follows:
„ Washington, Dec. 3,1886.
The Democratic members of Congress have bad no
formal caucus as yet, bnt there have been several in
formal conferences, and some of the leading men
among them have conlerred freely with the President
upon the future policy of the Democratic party to
Congress. I am assured that, aa the result of such
conterences, the following points have been deter
mined on as a general line of action during the pre
sent session, with reference particularly to fUtnra re
sults:
There will be less manifestation of opposition to
the acts of the majority than at the last session, not
only because it is futile, but beeauaa the only hope of
reconstruction that the Democratic party now baa is
that the Republicans may commit party excesses to
their legislation, which a returning aense of justice on
the part of the people may rebuke.
The President, the same authority asserts, will use
the veto power sparingly, reserving it for what be
may consider aa plain violations of the Constitution,
and will pursue a quiet course, calculated not to give
his enemies in Congress any further cause for per
sonal attacks upon him.
It was not until after serious consideration of
subject that Mr. Johnson decided not to suggeot I _
comprom ise measure to his message. Following the
advice of his leading Democratic friends, lie saw fit
to reiterate his doctrine of restoration, and thereby
avoids the charge of inconsistency which might nat
urally follow; and further, any compromise wonld bb-
au admission that the reconstructing policy wsa a
failure. In both the Senate end House, tho adherents

Journal:
Major General John C. Breckinridge, according to
our dispatches, has petitioned for a pardon, <dahn1n|
that the general terms under which Generals Ios and
Johneton surrendered are applicable to him. Wecar-
tatoly can see no reason for doubting that they are
applicable to him, but, whether they aroor not, we
should rejoice, and multitudes of the best patriots
would rejoice, at his returuTrom
eaile. We feel surprised and pained that thia punlih-

been treated with unnecessary, undmerved mid toju-
di-’ions harshness and aeverlty. The tree Mm and
mental sufferings that have JwhitMJOd Me fecks to

wannest and deepest sympathies of tens of ibooaands
of true spirits.
