MANUFACTURING BJNTKRPHlSlfi IN
GEOR61A.
The Borne Courier says that a large com
pany is being formed for the purpose of
building and putting in operation an exten-
aiye cotton faotory, having purchased a site
on Big and Little Cedar Creek, in Vann’s
Valley, two miles from Cave Springs. The
company will have the advantages of an un
surpassed water power, situated in the midst
of a lich and productive farming country—
where grain and cotton are raised at its very
doors—a healthy and delightful climate, and
beautiful scenery.
This is a movement in the right direction.
What we have Jong needed in the South is a
diversion of a portion of the enterprise and
capital of the country from cotton planting
to manufacturing. If there ever was any
good reason why Georgia should not manu
facture sufficient of her great staple at least
for her own consumption, no such reason
exists now. If our people would neutralize
the effect of the partial legislation by which
Congress has built up the manufacturing in
terests of the East to the neglect and depres
sion of the agricultural interests of the Sonth
and West, they must, by going into similar
enterprises, share the bounties of the pro
tective system which they have not the
power to defeat.
the eleventh article.
The Macon Telegraph agrees with us that
the eleventh artiole was made the teat of the
Radical strengthen the impeachment case,
and that the failure to convict on that article
is equivalent to an acquittal of the Presi
dent on the entire indictment by the present
High-Court. Speaking of the eleventh arti
cle as having been selected by the managers
as a test, the Telegraph says:
"The reason will be obvious to the reader,
as it is, in effect, a summing up of the whole
series of articles, and consequently all were
rejected in.the loss of this one. Without the
most glaring corruption and falsification un
der oath, it is evident that impeachment is
irretrievably lost. The men who voted "not
guilty” yesterday, cau never vote * ‘guilty ’’
without consigning their names to eternal
infamy.

the hour of its greatest peril, for it was that,
and not the mere individual or officer, An

Plan or Reconstruction*
Washington, May 18-“It is 6tated that
Cabinet changes are pending, and it is as
serted that the new Cabinet will tend to har
monize Congress and the President, and that
the President will cease obstructing recon
struction on the Congressional plan, the pro
gress of events having rendered his own im
possible now, and the material interests of
the South requiring immediate representa
tion of some kind. This statement is made
on the highest Republican authority.

INDIAN WAR.
Under this startling caption very absurd
reports have recently been put in circulation
to the effect that the few vagabond Indiaos
still remaining in East Florida had declared
war against the whites, who were in great
alarm and flying from the country. A late
number of the Tampa Peninsular explains
the origin of the alarm, which seems to have
grown out of a difficulty between an Indian
and a white man named Jack Curry. Curry
and the Indian made a trade, in which Curry
was to give the Indian two horses for some
hogs. He paid the Indian one horse but re
fused to pay the other. Thereupon the In
dians notified several of the white families
that they had better leave the settlement,
which they did. Subsequently Mr. John M.
Pearce, as self-constituted Minister Plenipo
tentiary extraordinary, went to the Indians
and amicably settled the difficulty, thus pre
venting a conflict of arms between the United
States and the descendants of Billy Bow
lers.
There are probably fifty Indians, ail told,
la Florida. They are a peaceable people,
and although known to be pro-slavery, and
decidedly opposed to being robbed of their
property or swindled out of their hogs, and
having- no particular reverence for the United
States flag, it is believed that they do not at
present meditate a war against the American
nation.
WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Our telegraphic correspondent has high
Republican authority for the rumor which he
sends us to the effect that there is to be a
change in the Cabinet to conciliate the de
feated impeachers, and that the President
will cease his opposition to the usurpations
of the Radical party, and accepts the so-
called Congressional plan of Reconstrac
tion.
We put very little reliance in the correct
ness of this rumor, so inconsistent with the
President’s past course and present position.
It certainly does not tally with the course of
the Radicals in the House or Thad. Stevens'
resolutions to investigate the impeachment
with a view to discover the "damnation” of
the failure to convict
W T e can see no reason why Mr. Johnson,
after having so bravely withstood the as
saults of the conspirators upon the Consti
tution, should now yield the principle for
which be has contended, and lend himself to
the consummation of a scheme of wrong
and injustice which he has so long and so
resolutely contended. His solicitude for the
welfare of the South could hardly justify
him thus voluntarily going over to the tender
mercies of Thad. Stevens and his diabolical
crew.
We repeat we have no faith in the report
ed surrender of the President.

free popular election for Presideut until we

From this dread necessity, the verdict ol yes
terday saves the American people, while It
drives the last nail in the coffiu of a reckless
aud revolutionary party.”
It remains to be seen whether the Radical
faction will plnnge itself into a still deeper
abyss of infamy by attempting to carry out
the programme of the House leaders, which
contemplates a renewal of the impeachment
effort and aroaort to still more shameless and
desperate means to secure conviction than
ha^ yet been resorted to.
The preamble to tlia resolutions adopted
in the House virtually charges the dissenting
Senators with recreancy, bribery and corrup
tion. This would indicate a reliance [on
other instrumentalities than the present
Court for the removal of the President. N ot
only are the Covodes, the Tytus Oatise3 of the
party to be called in for new and more effect
ive testimony against the President, but a
sufficient number of scalawag Senators from
the reconstructed States are to be admitted
to insure a verdict. This mode ot proceed
ing ig surely contemplated, and will be
adopted aud carried out unless prevented by
the refusal of the Chief Justice to lend him
self to the perpetration of so shameless an
outrage.
It has been suggested that Mr. Chase will
be powerless to prevent the proposed pack
ing of the Court by the admission of new
Senators to vote for conviction—that iit has
been his practice in the trial to submit all
questions to a vote of the Senators, and that
should he object to swear the new Senators,
and submit the question to the Senate, his
obj-.ctiou would be overruled, in which event
he would comply.
It must be borne in mind that the Caief
Justice has taken an oath to see justice done
to Andrew Johnson according to the Consti
tution and the laws. Iu the delib erations of
the Court many questions not directly in
volving the obligations of this oath may
have been left to a vote of the Senators, but
in the innovation proposed the case would be
very different, and us a judge the Chief Jus
tice could not fail to realize the fall force of
his judicial and moral obligation. Under
such circumstances to lend his sanction to
to such a proceeding would be au act of in
famy unparalleled ia the annuls ot jurispru
dence since the days of the execrated Jef
freys. Nor can we believe thatthe majority
of the Senate now constituting the Court,
much as they desire to convict the President,
could be induced to give their votes iu favor
of such a prostitution, not ouly of the spirit
but the forms of justice. There is a limit
beyond,which even partisan phreezy dare not
go, and with all the efforts of claquers and
whippers-in.we doubt if the reflecting portion
of the Republican masses can be induced to
sanction such utter disregard for right and
justice. The case i9 too susceptible of illus
tration to the common understanding. What
would be thought of the judge, sworn to ad'
minister the law, who, after a man hud been
put on his trial,the indictment read, the plead
ings made, the evidence given,counsel heard,
and the jury had retired to make up their
decision, bccc.use the prosecution had dis
covered that a verdict of acquittal was about
to be rendered, would permit talesmen who
had not heard the evidence or pleadings,
known enemies of the prisoner, to be brought
in for the avowed purpose of insuring his con
viction ? And yet euch would only be a par
allel case. We cannot believe that the
American people are so utterly frenzied, so
cruelly malignant, so dead to every impulse
of magnanimity, right and justice, as to
sanction such a proceeding
We are confirmed in this opinion by the
indications ot public sentiment uttered even
in advance of the vote on Saturday, which
we find in some of our leading exchanges.
The New York Post (Radical) ot Thursday
last says :
“If the majority in Congress is wise it
will drop Just here the whole impeach
ment business, and go ou with the other
and more important matters which de
mand attention. It is impossible to secure
respect for a verdict for conviction hereafter
rendered by the High Court. The irregular
and unlawful efforts to secure that end have
been too shameless, too conspicuous. Of
what use or force will be the silence of Mr.
Henderson, or the resignation of Mr. Trum
bull ? Of what account will be the conv«c
tion of the President by one or two votes, or
indeed by any number, after the proceedings
of Tuesday ?”
The New York Times, a leading Republi
can paper, speaking of Radical attempts to
overawe and overrule the Court of Impeach
ment says:
If the leaders of [the Republican party
think that party has anything to gain by
forcing the result they seek—by bringing
about the President’s removal bv other means
than a fair, jast and judicious conviction of
his guilt, they will not have long to wait to
find oat their mistake. His removal, on the
eve of a Presidential election, under any
circumstances, even if the testimony were so
clear and unimpeachable as to leave no
shadow of doubt or distrust on the public
mind, would have added to the weight which
that party would have had to carry through
the canvass. But his conviction and remo
val, without the clear convictibn and settled
judgment of the required majority of the
Court that tries him—brought about by party
violence, by personal or political menaces,
by coercion or outside pressure of any sort—
will crush to the earth any party or any fac
tion that dares to try it.”
Daring last week the most extraordinary
efforts were made to impress the 8enate with
the necessity of voting a verdict of convic
tion, and since the vote on Saturday a fear
ful storm of passion has raged among the
disappointed leaders of Radicalism through
out the North. But it will spend itself in due
time, after which the reaction. Already we
have assurances from trustworthy sources that
the fnrnrft which theRadigoIg *«*o raising upon
the subject of Impeachment is purely artifi
cial, and does not come from the people—
that the popular heart has no eymnathr
their outcries, and feels not only that it has
no ioterest in all this turmoil, but that it is
carried on at the expense of all the great in
terests of the country. It is manifest that
the people are becoming heartily sick of Im
peachment. Ere long we apprehend the
impeachers themselves will roe the day
they entered upon the experiment. We
think with the Baltimore Sun that “Impeach
ment is likely to prove the most costly game
that a party ever played for power—oostty
for the country, and equally so for itself*”

FROM HAYTI.
SAVANNAH.
Mr. A. R. Lamar, editor of the Columbus
Sun, ai present on a visit to his family in
this city, writing to hi* paper under data of
13th mat, says:
Savannah never looks more prettier than in
the month of May. She certainly never looked
more charming in any month of May, than
the present one. Business is over, and her
merchants are preparing for the summer holi
days, consequently there is little activity or
bustle. The city bears marks of advance
and improvement, and will codtinue to grow
right lustily “when this cruel war is over.”
TJhis last expression may produce a smile,
but really the war still goes on. ’Tia true
that armies bow do not meet day by day in
fierce encounter, but the North still wars un
abated fury upon the defenceless South.
Our people are still being robbed, plundered
and persecuted by an army of native and im
ported vagabonds, who will fly Northward
on the announcement of Peace, just as the
“Sora” disappears upon the advent of Frost.
Should Howard recover from his attack of
“delirium tremens” by Saturday next, it is
not improbable that Benjamin Wade, will
announce In his inaugural that he is for a
vigorous prosecution of the war, and that
Bastiles aud Banishment, may be the battle
cry of those who once followed Butler with
hoarse shouts for "Beauty aud Booty.”
Though one meets many strange faces in
Savannah, yet her old and elegant customs,
her established sooiety, have so far withstood
the assaults of the Goths and Vandals. The
same quiet elegance pervades her homes as
in days of yore, and there seems to be still
enough of Conservative gentility, as opposed
to shoddy effrontery, to mark to the manners
of her people for a generation to come.
Your correspondent sincerely trusts—for all
time to come.
Our friends here are not disheartened at
the result of the recent contest, and will
make a vigorous and successful effort to keep
the City Government out of the hands of
Bradley and his followers. I have not seen
the "Great Wauhoo,” who does not “stale
his presence” to the vulgar crowd, bat here,
as elsewhere, any one of ordinary observa
tion, can spot a "scalawag without prompt
ing. They permeate everywhere, save into
the parlors of gentlemen. These places are,
aud are certain to continue, ‘ 'terra incognita”
to them.

Forney’s resignation is said to be a trick to
