It becomes our painful duty to chronicle the death of this estimable gentleman, which oceurred on Monday, the 19tU iust., in this place. No man more deservedly popular and universally be loved, in this community, than Sidney Cheatham. The disease of which he died was consumption, brought on, no doubt, by exposure in the army. Ho was adjutant oi the sth Georgia regiment. As an evidence of the high estimation placed upon him by this community, every branch of business in the town was suspended during the fu neral services. The largest’funeral procession we have ever witnessed in a village, followed his re mains to the cometery, where he was interred wilti Masonic honors. He was a member of the Meth odist church, and died “the death of the Right eous." His family and relatives have the sympathy of the entire community. tg* That old, substantial and flourishing daily, the Atlanta lutelligenceer, comes to us in full keep ing with its long established reputation as a first class Journal.

Burlesque on “ulno dollars per day' too ienglby. Not Traitors but GentleuMJU. The tone ol a great many of the leading Nor thern papers aud periodicals, is calculated to make the impression upon the world that the Southern states are peopled by wicked, degraded, iguotant poverty-stricken vagabonds. The roost low-bred, villanot.a names which yankee ingenuity can in vent, are applied to ua by the radical press, cei tan military officials, and individuals in Congress.— H red newspaper correspondents speak of us as if we were slaTes in chains bound to hear their false hoods without daring to reply. Vindictive poli ticians, before large assemblies, abuse tho whites of the South and laud the negro, as did Carl Schurz a few nights since, iu Washington, to the disgust of every decent roan in his audience. Mis sioanry societies raise money to send us the Gos pel, anti Bibles, and to build churches, as if we were heathen, without I’riost or Sanctuary. We are denied the privileges of frectneo, against the remonstrances of a noble Chief Magistrate, and taxed unconstitutionally, because the constitution piovides that noetate shall be taxed without repre sentation. We are watched over by Bureau offi cials as if we were a set of thieves and swindlers. Compelled to give up otrr cotton under perempto ry orders, into tho hands of government agents, who steal it almost, before our eyes to the tune of 1,000,000 dollars. Tcachiug negroes iu the very heart of our most intelligent aud refined cities to sing “Up with the Stars, Down with the Traitors,” and then, if a word of remonstrance against any any of these evils is heard from a Southern, man’s lips, it is published in some Radical paper under blazing capitols, “The rebellion not crushed —the Soulli unsubmissive I Gentlemen, if you expect from us such submis sion as this—if we are not to speak of our rights— if we are so be insulted by individuals and because we resent it are dubbed traitors, if you expect the-adicals to throw dust upon us andrtii it in, without receiving any resistance —if this is the submission you want it will never bo found. We are gentlemen w’tli honor left though all else is gone, and the press, politicians and individuals must so treat us, or else they may expect, at least occasionally, to wake up a Tartar, as some have done by assailing the honor of GeD. Wade Hampton- The Southern people do not consider every pa per, or politician, or individual officer at the North, the United States. And when we repel their insuitß it is no pait of our intention to rebel against ihe government. The National Intelligencer hits on tho truth, when, in sp -aking of the many frauds and oppres. eions of certaia angecios in the South it says : the belief cannot bt repressed that the guilty par ties have made then: lelxes exceedingly offensive by pltidering operate ns, which must have readied individual ao well a8; Government interests. Un der Bucb circumstances it is not strange that people are provoked into toe expression of sentiments that are regarded as disloyal, especially by those who desire tn catch tip almost anything that may be tortured iuto an infererce of dislike of the Government or the people of the North." The Unprofitableness of Ennni g ration. “But moving will net pay equal to our expecta tions. We had belter bearj the ills we have than fly to those we knowhtot of." We extract the above the truth from a very in teresting letter in th Christian Advocat* written from East Texas, bj tlie Rev. S. G. Gotten. This gentleman first, moved from Georgia to Louisiana, aud was for a time exceedingly well pleafetl with nome Tn Texas. Os this country he speaks in high terras. Its “milk, butter and honey,” in the summe* are a grecn aud covert ; Wilu“ « beautifully, with herds of horses, cattle and flocks of sheep, some of which number many huudreds. Wheat, Barley, Oats and.Hungarian grass, and other ce reals, grow to great perfect ion.” He Says eighty bushels cd barley have beer, reaped from one acre- Forty bushels of eorn to the acre is a frequent crop. Aud after saying a great deal more in fa vor of this land of abnnd- uce, he closes with the language, “But moving will not pay equal to our expectations. We had,better bear the ills we have, than flj to those, fwe know not ol.” And such is the experience of many hundreds who have left their nadvo soil, to try their fortunes in anew country. A citizen of Terrel county, who last year, sold out a good settlement of land lor about four riollaj s per acre, including a good deal of pro visions jMd stock, and moved to Texas, writes back, “Rannot advise my friends to come out here until I see more about it. The lands I ex prete-'. to buy for £1 25 per acre, are worth §25! Ano tier writes that disappointment has met him, .and death ha? robbed him of a son.” j We are sorry to see such a disposition among lour people <0 emigrate. Old men leaving the land that has atui lautly supported them, the graves of their children, the companions of their boyhood, the sanclua ies in which they have worshiped, to their chance- in a strange hud! Ere they reach the laud o’ promise, many of them die; and if they reach the end of their journey they find that wbat they pave gained oa the one band, they l ave lost on the other. They miss their schools and r hurdles, the familiar faces and kind counsel of ft lends; the cheap lands are where they do not wa.it them, the places that please them are not to bo disposed of, or the price is beyond their ability to pay; ihe rail roads and navigable streams are too sca'termg, the freezing noither, that trans forms ’.lie dew drop of summer into an icicle, the drouglb, the caterpillar, and a thousand other ills, often make them think of and sigh for the land they left behind them. Some return. Others v, .ary and tired, their little Jail exhausted, spirits broken down, remain, and send back their regrets 40. their friends. I do not say that this is the i case, with all, but who will deny but that it is the ‘ate of many. The losses sustained by the result of the late war, has had a great deal to do iu unsettling our onco prosperous and conteuted population. But let them reflect before moving to"a new country. To attempt to repair wasted fortunes by removal, may only add to their embarrassments. Lot was once doing well, but the green pastures of the East drew him to Sodom, where his property Was desolated and his family destroyed. Let our people go to work ; display the energy which once characterized them. Beautify their homes —improve their lands—tiust in God, and happiness will come again. We verily believe, that this country, poor as it is represented, will know a prosperity in the future wbicb, heretofore, it has been a stranger to. Factories in*Georgia —The Columbus Enquirer says we are glad to see an adver tisement for proposals for the masonry and wood work for two cotton factories to be es tablished near West Point, (ia. There ought to be fifty factories on the Chattahoochee river between Atlanta and Columbus, and wo cheiibh the fond hope that they will be 1q operation in less than five years. M I.oiiinhikl tl»<* Southern- Trade..' The Missouri Republican, commenting upon this subject, says : “It it gratifying to sec the evidences that St. Louis can share larg'ly in a trade with the South of which sli i t former yt ars enj yed bu* lit’ ! o, if our merchants and citizens are only willing to use the most obvious and ordinary m-ans to the desired end- We Lave these evidences in the bucccbss which has attended tho eff orts sf the St. Louis and .Tohnsonville line of steam packets to furnish steady nod regit lar transportation facilities for this trade.— This line, as wo have before mentioned, is in daily communication with Johnsouviile, on tho Tenure-tee river, one hundred miles from its mouth, and also in regular commu nication with Kastport, Misisisppi, and Flor ence, Alabama, on the same river. By its arrangements with the Johnsonville and Nashville Railroad, it bas communication with Nashville, und thence with Chattanoo ga and Atlanta. Ouo h’gbly advantageous feature of this arrangement is that through freights received at .Johnsonville or Atlanta arejtrausp <rtndj over the entire route with out transhipment or breaking ofbulk. The arrangement subsists for five years, and is exclusive, the consideration with the compa nies which control the roads being the fact that the packet company would supply the roads regularly going South sod receive as regularly the freights coming North. Such are the facilities now furnished that this route is preferred by merchants as far South as j Macon, in Georgia, and even Moutgamery, ia Alabama. By it goods aresentto Knox ville, East Teunessce, and shipments have been received from Lynchburg, Virginia.— Through that route and the Tennessee river route to Eastport and Florence, a most val uable trade for St. Louis is opened up with j an immense district of country. It would make a lengthy catalogue to name the nu merous p iats brought into connection with St. Louis, in Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabam- J a aud Georgia.” Conversing a few days ago with an intel ligent and euterprising citizen and merchant of St. Louis, our attention was called to the steamboat enterprise referred to in the fore going article, and to the advantages also which it afforded to the merchants of Atlanta over the old route and on to Cincinnati. If so, and it appears to be so, we have no doubt that the result will be the opening of a trade with St. Louis that city has not heretofore enjoyed with the South, especially from At lanta, Macon, or Montgomoiy even. Our merchant would do well to look into, aud even try the new route. It may pay them to do so.

Ashamed of Him. —Tho vulgar foreign merconary ( Carl Schtirz, delivered a lecture in Washington a few nights since, so filled with invective against the white people of the South, and so laudatory of the negro and his fellow Radicals, that it even disgus ted the majority of those who had purchased tickets from the sympathy they imagined to exist between themselves and the speaker. As an evidence of the contempt with which he oovered himself by his outrageous dentin ' ciations of the President and the conserva tive masses of the country, General Banks, ' though loudly called for by tho audit nee at the olose of the address, refused to open his lips. He was evidently ashamed of the'com pany in which he found himself. — .Y«sA vtllC' Banner. ® A splendid talc t|H tile for nest week. JsTAHTUI.hu niHLLIOEXCE : The Spread of Fenianhm. The first Ft nian Reyiment to bo Commanded by an Ex-Federal Officer, and the second by an Ex Confederate Cavalry Leader. Uniform for 150,000 mm, 20,000 Rifles Stored at lhir liny ton, R Toronto, C. W., March 12, P. M.— The number of volunteers answering the Governments cull is largely in excess of tho demand. An official military order has be n published by the Commatider-in-C hies, . in which he regrels he is compelled, hs n [ measure of precaution, to call for the ser vice of so large u number of volunteers. This step does not resu’t from the existence of a condition of war between our sover eign and a foreign State but is u necessa ry performance of duty w hich bas devolved upon the Government to make provisions for protecting the lives and property of the inhabitants of the Province and against threatened attacks by lawlo s men, who use the territory of a neighboring power for the purpose of openly organizing an en terprise against the sovereign right of the Queen and the security of her subjects.— Tho Commander-in-Chief relies with con fidence upon the loyal spirit of the Cana dians to meet ttie extraordinary state of facts, and feels assured that, if necessary, the entire population of the Province will come forward to resist any invasion of the country. The Oommander-in-Chief knows it is unnecessary to address observations to the officers and men called out, or the impor tance of the strict attention to their milita ry duties, and is convinced, should the threats of an attack be carried into effect, the Canadian volunteers of the present day will, with God’s blessing, meet with as much success in repelling such criminal and wanton outrages against humanity and civilization as was given their ancestors whether they were called upon to roll back from their teriitories the tide of legitimate war or repulse tho attack of lawless inva ders. New York, March 12—The AVorll says companies and regiments of Fenians are being formed with great rapidity, and it is calculated that Gen Sweeney will be able, when ho feels justified in calling for their service, to procure 25,000 able bodied young men, who have seen service, in thts city alone. It is known that sixteen thous and cartridge boxes and knapsacks were bought at auct on last week, from a well known house in Park Place, and quantities of arms and ammunition are being nego tiate and for from day to day, by officers de tailed for that purpose. It is probable that Colonel Tresbam will command the first Fenian llegiment from this city, and a well known Southern cavalry officer the second. An artillery regiment is also being raised, and an independent battalion for special service, under the commanv of Col. Mur phy, a veteran soldier. The Herald says that movements of significance wore reported to be in process in preparation here yesterday, and funds continue to pour into the Fenian trea ury of Washington. It is said that the Fenians in order to exhibit the perfidy ol the Brit- Russell to the late rebellion in the South The Wo Id publishes a special from Al bany, which says private and reliable in formation from .Burlington, Vt., states that uniforms for 150,000 men and 20,000 rifles, of the very best pattern, have been trans ported quietly, during the last tu days, from Now York, and from Troy to Bur lington, Vt., where they now remain con cealed, awaiting the advances of the Fe nian armies. An abundance is said to be deposited at Detroit, Buffallo, Ogdenburg, Plattsburg, and Montpelier. Three com panies of Fenian volunteers, commanded by efficient officers, have been organized iu Burlington, for service in Canada. Decline in Dry Goods. A late New York letter says: “Dry goods, both foreign and domestic, havo fallen heavily—wholesale prices having declined 20 per cent —during the past week. The Southern demand for goods, which was so brisk during a sow months following the close of the war, has subsided, and the sup ply bas exceeded the meaDs of payment.— The South has nearly exhausted the resources which remained to it, after the war in cotton, tobacco, naval stores, etc , and the prospect of production for 1866-7 is far from being good. “Somo business men, anticipate a general decline of price, and as a consequence of it, a contraction of bank loans which will fall with severity upon bank debtors. Banks are generally increasing instead of dimin i ishing their loans. The loan line of the | New York city banks before the war was a hundred and twenty millions, and it is now 1 two hundred and forty millions, though leg ; itimate business is falling off. \V r hen the banks shall, from prudential reasons, con ; tract their loan line, everything upon which ! these loans are based will suffer a great de ; cline in price.” Direct Transpcrtation from Louis vtlle —The follwing appears in the Atlan ta Intelligencer of yesterday : The latest on dit in commerical circles is the rather pleasing intelligence that heavily freighted trains will hencefsrth run direct through fr»m Louisville to this point with out chaDge. This arrangement has been rc | sorted to in order that the transmission of goods coming this way may be facilitated We learn that en'iro trains, engines, train bands and all—will come direct tnrough ; and we hope it may operate to the advantage of this commerical community, an! enable it to recover from the losses it. has sus tained from the long complained of deten tion of freights. We are indebted to a friend for the following private dispatch, from which it will bo soon that “through bills of lading” arc made out from Louisville to Atlanta, and as there is no tran‘-shipment at any point, delays cannot arise from that cause.
