Boston Traveler.
We find the above paragraph in a 'late
number of the Boston Traveler. The Powell
" here mentioned we presume to be an indi-
ti&j
^control
vicinal by the name of Simon Peter Powell, work of General Grant, who ordered the
* : U s_ T«a !
a well known character in Lee county,
Georgia, and in the Black Swamp settle
ment in South Carolina, where he formerly
lived.. He has the. doable profession of
being a lawyer and a friend of the freedmen.
- If half we have. heard about him is
true, he would be the last individual in
the State -whom we wonld employ
as an agent to collect or beg money
for us m Boston or anywhere else. ' Por
ter, if we are right in our guess, is a very
intelligent and respectable colored man,
whose only fault we know of is being in bad
company.
We have no desire to prevent the collec
tion of money in Boston for the relief ot the
colored people of Georgia. On the contrary,
we would be pleased to see a liberal res
ponse to the appeal in their behalf, as we
know that there are many deserving and
needy persons among them. Bat we would
suggest to the people of Boston, and to the
colored people here, to take care that such
contributions are trusted in proper hands
who can be relied on for their proper applica
tion.
As to the story of proscription of the negroes
and of their suffering tor want of employ
ment, wemost earnestly assure the people
of Boston that there is no truth in it. That
there are many people, white and black, in
Georgia, who are suffering the privations of
extreme poverty is trne. There are many
widows and orphans who want bread and
clothing, but we have yet to see a negro who
is willing to work- Buffering for .want of em
ployment. A little aid in the shape of food
and clothing, with advice to let Loyal
Leagues, political - meetings and military
drills alone and go to work like honest
people, wonld be a blessing to oar black
population. But if the Lee county lawyer
“The Old Coon,” as he is called, should
persuade the people ot Boston into the
belief that with a few thousand dollars he
can save the State of Georgia to the
Radical party he will lead them into a very
grave error. .
The action ot this body for the past two
or three days indicates a most decided im
provement. The seating of Mr.- Lester on
Saturday, "with the refusal yesterday to re
consider the vote—the passage of the bill
yesterday deferring tbW municipal election in
Savannah nntil December,in compliance with
the wishes of our citizens—the passage by
the House of a resolution requesting
the Governor . to issue his proclamation
forbidding all illegal military organ
izations and midnight drillings—may
be regarded as evidences of a determination
on the part of the members to leave party for
a time ■ out - of view, to give their attention to
measures necessary to give peace and security
to the community, and to promote the best'
interests of the State.
Such action will command the hearty ap
proval of the people, revive confidence and
justify hspe for the future.
If disunion editors will take our advice they
will quit abuse aud resort to facts and argu
ments. The latter Weapons might seem awk
ward to them at first, hat a proper use of them
would soon dissipate the difficulty.—Atlanta
Era.
Truth and argument would be wasted on
the Bard and his party. The majority of them
could not read it, and the balance will not
heed it. If. there is any security in the refuge
of lies, the Dogberry
he Era has nothing
A. A. Bradley'is at Augusta' stirring up
strife. He ought to be kicked out of the
States.—Atlanta Era.
When Alpeoria AMcanus occupied a seat
among the Bard’s friends in the Senate, and
had a vote for State Printer, then he was the
Hou. A. A. B.; but -having got his vote, the
supercilious old swill-head not only clips Elm
of the “Honorable,” but joins in bta expulsion
from the Senate, and wants him kicked out of
the States, - Oh, the ungrateful eld fjealatrag 1
from the Federal side was well known to our
people at the time but the cruel obstinacy
which doomed so many gallent men to suf
fering and death was generally attributed to
Mr. Stanton, the Federal Secretary of War.
It now appears that in addition to the mer
ciless and unnecessary sacrifice of his men
in the field, the fearful responsibility of the
immense mortality at AnderaoDVille, Camp
Dnglass, Johnson’s Island and other military
prisons—the lingering tortures of these pri
son hells—the broken constitutions with
which so many of the survivors returned to
their homes only to linger to the end of an
invalid life, is chargable to General Grant.
The publication of Hr. Ould’s statement is
due alike to the late Confederate govern
ment and to the truth of history. It may
have no effect on those at the North whose
minds are so sealed by prejudice, as to be
proof against unwelcome truth, but we will
believe that there are thousands of good and
just men everywhere who will feel it a
moral duty to rest the responsibility of that
crime against humanity where it justly be
longs. The statements of Mr. Ould rest not
alone in his well known character for troth,
but are sustained by. well authenticated
documentary proofs which-are accessible to
the pnblic aud will be given to history.
Commenting on these proofs,' the National
Intelligencer says:
“It appears from this statement, sustained
by General Butler and other officers con
nected. with the exchange of prisoners
during the war, that Grant (who cared so
little for the Union soldier' that he was
willing to give three for one) is responsible
for all the sufferings of our soldiers—not
only at Andersonville, bnt in all the'other
Southern prisons.
“It appears that offers were repeated
ly made by the Confederate authorities
to exchange man . for man, and officer for
officer,- at-a tithe -when- the Federal.au
thorities had an excess of prisoners; that
afterwards offers were made to buy and pay
for, in gold, the medicines necessary for the
Union prisoners at the South, and to allow
them to be brought in and. administered by
our own surgeons; and that no notice was
taken of these propositions.
“It appears, farther, that the Confederate
authorities offered to send hither, without any
exchange, fifteen thousand sick and wound
ed Union soldiers, including all those at An
dersonville, and to make up the number with
well men, if .the Federal authorities would
furnish transportation; bnt this transporta
tion was not furnished for nearly six months,
daring which nearly all of the suffering of
Union, prisoners in' Southern-prisons i ? pc-
curred. , .
“The salient fact is, that all this was the
Commissioner of Exchange “not to take an
other step by which another abie-bodied man
should be exchanged, until further orders
from him,” and afterwards gave directions
that the matters of exchanges “should be
put offensively to the Confederate authori
ties, for the purpose of preventing an ex
change:’' ‘ / . ; ;
This is a record from which Grant cannot
escape. . - - „
The Legislatobe.—The Atlanta New Era
has the following -about that Radical institu
tion :
A friend at our elbow, a large tax-paver,
wants to know if the Legislature would not do
well to adjourn and go home. He says nine
dol-ars a day and no practical legislation is
rather heavy on the people. We have no
opinion to express in the premises jnst at this
time.
The Bard having been elected State Printer
by the Legislature, aud being secure in that
fat job with all its pickings and stealings, has
no longer any use for the ‘ 'loti” representatives
of “the people.” Ungrateful old curmudgeon !
with his filthy sheet stuffed with Government
advertisements, which he knows are never seen
by one in five hundred of the decent white
people of the State, he now begrudges the
negroes, carpet-baggers and scalawags their
nine dollars per (Jay. He sees the haul in the
wind, and is beginning again to keep a friend
at his elbow and an “open rear.”
Bad State of Affaib3 in Southwestern
Georgia—The Macon Telegraph of Sunday
says: The delegations to the barbecue at
MarshallviUe yesterday from Oglethorpe and
Montezuma, and for which a special train
was sent down on Friday, did not attend,
owing to well-grounded apprehensions that a
desperate gang of negroes would sack those
two towns if too many of the white men
left. The negroes in Dojly and one or two
other of the lower counties, are pursuing a
most dangerous aud suicidal course. We
warn them again to beware of what they do.
Loil, but Indignant.—The Radical Com
missioners of Chatham county, North Caro
lina, have written to “Governor” Holden,
earnestly imploring him not to appoint any
negro magistrates in that county. The
party won't stand it.
It is a very nice thing for Southern Legis
latures that were elected under Grant’s mili
tary rule, to turn and vote for him os a. can
didate . for the Presidency. A brand-new
“moral idea.’’

New Mode of Evading the Whiskey Tax.
—It is alleged that it has been discovered at
the Internal Revenue Bureau that a new and
ingenious mode of cheating the government
ont of the tax on whiskey has been devised
by some unprincipled distillers.. To do this
a machine has been invented which will split
the oak headings of a whiskey barrel into
strips as thin as a piece of mahogany or rose
wood 'veneering. A sheet of this kind can
be put on the barrel bead, and filled to the
groove inside, so as to form part of the head
ing outside. Upon this are placed the reve
nue stamps aha the ghager’s marks, and
when the barrel is emptied, this thin heading
can be rethofed intact, without defacing the
stamps or the gnager’s' marks, the barrel re-
filled, and the old heading replaced upon it
In this way a barrel can be refilled ten,
twenty or fifty times without duplicating the
serial numbers, which was one of the ready
means of detecting illicit whiskey under the
old W-

the North, that they might be read by every
honest. Candid man, of whatever ; party,
throughout the Union. But we' suspected
that so favorable an opportunity otmisrepre-
senting the leading organs of public opinion
at the South would not be neglected, and that
as in the case of Gem Wade Hampton, Gov.
Vance and others, words would be pdf in the
mouths of the speakers on that occasion,
and sentiments attributed to them which
they never, uttered, by hirelings employed
for that purpose. We do not kno w that the
editor of the Era had any agency in the per
petration of this villainous fraud, but the
quasi endorsement which he has given to the
villainy would justify sack a supposition;,:
In his paper of Sunday, after complacent
ly alluding to his prediction of the effect
which the speeohes of General Cobb and
General Toombs would have upon the North
ern mind, and piously deprecating the “po
litical folly,’’ “violence” and lack of “states
manship and policy” of the speakers, he
publishes an article from the Army and Navy
Journal purporting to be a review of the
speeches delivered by Generals Cobb and
Toombs in Atlanta, in which those gentle
men are grossly and ’infamously misrepre
sented. As a specimen of the. .misrepresen
tations of the writer, we ,,gHfe,lhe following
extract. Pretending to quote from General'
Cobb’s speech, lie writer-aay.B : : J 5 ft

“wild, bad meo,” who “never trod the'soil

“Enemies,” he says, ‘‘they were in war—
enemies they continue to be in peace. In
war we drew tho sword and bade them defi
ance. We hurl into their teeth, to4d»y the
samo defiance, and bid them come on to the
struggle.' We are ready for it if they are.”
As if this were not enough in this mad direc
tion, the speaker closes by saying:
“Come one and all, and let us snatch tbd
old banner from.tbe dust, give.it again to the
breeze, and, if Heed be, to the God of battle,'
aodstrike.one more honest blow lor constitu
tional liberty.”
What language is this for .the ex-Oonfcder-j
ate officer! f - O (
Now, the writer in the Army.. and. Navy
Journal may have been imposed ujjoa by
some hireling falsifier who has pul-the above
language in Gen. Cobb’s .mouth, iff which
case we would have no right to fiud fault
with his strictures upon the impropriety and
ba'd taste of such utterances. Bat to one
kuows better than the editor; of tbeEra, who
heard, and doubtless has lead the authorized
report of General Cobb’s, speech,. that jie
never uttered the language imputed to him:
No one knows better than the editor of the
Era that in transferring the language and
sentiments quoted to hi3 columns, he was
lending fiis paper to the dissemination of a
base falsehood.
The republication of the article, from the
Journal in the Era, with commendatory com
ments, and without a word of refutation, is
a virtual endorsement of a miachievious and
villainons misrepresentation, for which the
editor will be held culpable with the author
of the falsehood, by all honorable men.
And yet this unscrupulous scalawag has
the brazen audacity to council Democratic
editors to adhere to “trath and argument

patch published a few days since stated that
the community of Philadelphia was startled on
Saturday last by rumors of the sadden exit
of a member of a certain firm in that city,
leaving behind an unredeemed debt that will
probably (it is now said) amount , to from
$500,000 to $1,000,0G0. The rumor was.
subsequently found to be'true. One of the
papers of that city says:
“The alleged defaulter occupied one of
the high positions in the mercantile commu
nity, and his drafts to any amount woul d
have been honored without the slightest hes
itation. He was the agent of a number of
our most wealthy country gentlemen. That
the estimate of his indebtedness is not over
estimated may be gathered from the fact that
to one firm is owing the snm of $107,000,
while it is farther alleged that he owed every
firm with which he had dealings.”'
The person referred Jto is Charles Cabot.
His partner, R. J. Ettings, is believed to
have been ignorant of his transactions.
The Atlantic Cable.—From the reports
Of Eoglish electricians it appears that the
tests applied to the inefficient Atlantic cable
show that the fault lies at about eighty miles
from Newfoundland, in water not exceeding,
if. it reaches, one hundred, fathomsIn depth,
and that the interruption of communication
is so complete as to put it almost beyond
doubt that the injury has been caused by
the grounding of an iceberg. Communica
tion will, it is expected, be restored in less
than a month, but it is asserted that the
other cable is folly equal to the work re
quired of it.
The New York Tribune has'a Washington
correspondent who recently wrote from that
citf, rather exultlngly, that “the -Republican
Committee are sending out documents at the
rate of more than 100,000 per week.” The
New York Express, in noticing this little en
terprise, says, with great truth,' that every
where, on every eide r in every home and
household, is a Democratic argument, such as:
The double price of tea.
The triple price of sugar.
The double price of clothing. jfl
The velocity and volume with which property
in almost every part of the country is running
from the poor to the rich, in' consequence of
the inequality and injustice of taxation*.
The destruction of our foreign commercial
marine. ; i
The banishment of all gold and silver as
coin, and the universality of paper.
The downfall of the Constitution every
where.
The substitution of a consolidated for: a
federal form of goveroment. , -
The overthrow of the rigkt of trial by jury,
and of the habeas corpus among 10,000,000 of
bur jfeople.■ s . , dbi
The subjugation of eight millions of white
men in the tiouth to Ihyee or .'four'millions of
negroes. ..
The feign of carpet-baggers in Congress,
(generally runaways from tbe North) assuming
to represent the whites and negroes in the
South.
. All these are Democratic arguments in
every man’s mouth, and are present, more or
leBS, everywhere, in every house, cottage and
cabin.

Trouble, ^Lbeud — Sygrocs .Arming
Drilling in Ike Conulry, _
usd
[From the Memphis Ledgor.f
Parties in the city this morning from ; _
inform us that a general sense of alarm and
insecurity has been aroused among the whites
in that vicinity by tho discovery ’ that trto
companies of negroes have been organized on
the sarroandiog plantations, have been thor
oughly armed from this city r and are; drilling
nightly at the house of an old colored man
named Anderson. Our* informant -farther
states that several kegs of powder were re
ceived from Memphis ooa night., last week, and
stored ia Anderson’s cabin, and that other
suspicions movements have also been observed.
The first open : demonstration made by the
party which attracted attention, was a disgrace
ful attempt, some ten days since, to prevent a
colored Democrat, known a3 Billy Tillman,
frdm addressing a meeting which ' had been
culled to hear him. Tillman states that tbe
night before he was to keep his appointment,
he was visited at his cabin by a dozen armed
negroes, who informed him that if he attempted
to speak he would be killed. Intimidated by
this threat, which he had every reason to
belfeve would be put in execution, he desisted
from speaking, explaining to his white
Democratic friends in tho neighborhood why
be had done so. The organization and arming
among the blacks is probably not confined to
Raleigh alone, but we have every reason to
believe extends throughout the county, if not
the State at large. As it seems to be generally
winked , at by the Radical authorities, it . can
bode no geod to peaceable and law-abiding
ritizensy be they white or black. ^
While tho army of the United States is

frontier are committing the most horrible

Radical Swindle Ex
plained.
Columdia, Angust 24.—The Republicans
deny the correctness of the recent telegraph
ic report that the Legislature propose to re
pudiate any class of bonds of tbe fotate, or
to seize the assets ' of the State Bank,
pledged to pay them. They allege that only
the profits of the bonk are pledgeed to pay
tbe bonds, and as tbe bank has no profits,
the bonrlB are secure with or without this
law. The law, if possible, strengthens them.
The explanation of the matter is, that the
Legislature of 1865 appropriated the assets
of the bank to the foreign bond-holders, de
priving the bill-holders of their prior claim.
The present bill reverses that action,(aa d
protects the bill-holders as the creditors of
ihe State.
■Note.—-The true character of tbe swindle
contemplated by the bill is explained by the
following article from _the Columbia Phoe-

Savannah, Jane 4, 1666 J 7
The Savannah Gas Light Company, wishing to sup
ply Gas to its patrons on as cheap terms as may be
consistent with a t&lr return for the capital and labor
applied in its manufacture, and "believing that lie
active business which may be reasonably expected
daring the coming winter in this* city, will cause an
increased demand; and further, that a diminution in
price win induce .many to bum Gas ihat-ha|ve hithi
had recourse to other means of illumination, whii
are more dangerous and less cleanly and convenient:
and that the consequent increase will lessen thc cost
of manufacture, and thus justify the Company in
making a reduction in price.
Tnereforo, it has been -determined that from and
after the FIRST OF NOVEMBER next, consumers
will bo supplied at "ttio rate'of
FIVE DOLLARS AUD FIFTY GENTS PER THOU
SAND CUBIC FEET,
and that a farther TOdnctton of j\fty Cents perThcb-
