IVoot.kn Factory.— Messrs. N. & A. F.
Tift have established a Woolen Factory in
Albany, and are cow manufacturing
“Woolen goods twilled and plain, colored

gentlemen will be encouraged in this un
dertaking. If the South w uld bo inde
pendent her people must patronize ‘‘home
industry.”
Who are the Country’s Enemies?
We answer the above question unhesi
tatingly, ‘ the Radicals of the Norik” and
feel, when we say so, deep down in our
very soul, that this it the truth! It is
true that the South is branded upon her
forehead with the ignominous epithet,
“Traitor,” but there ia not one of her sons
who feels that she justly deserves to wear
it. \\ hatever may have been tho motive
of some of our leaders, it is as true as
Heaven that tho South, and when we say
the Souib, we meaD the masses of the peo
ple, rebelled, as it is termed, not because
we hated the Union—the Union of our
Fatlrrs—but because wo desired to be
free from those who, we honesty believed,
bated us with a bitter hatred. Thousands
of those who vo'ed for secession wept over,
wh.it they believed to be a sleru necessity—
the separation of the States.
It was not secession that caused the
Radicals to hate the South—they hated us
before. They taught their children to hate
us, and have raised up a generation of en
emies against us. And why ? What had
we done ? Was it because we were slave
holders? This was professedly the cause,
but it is not the true one. They bated us
Vcauee we were a conservative peopl a
Union loving people—a Constitution alu/iwg
people, and a mountain of difficulty in the
way of the formation by them of a great
National party, for o her purposes than the
abolishment of slavery. That we are cor
rect in this supposition is evident, from the
fact, that, now that slavery is abolished
they still hate the South and every body
elso that attempts to stand upon the Con
stitution. Why do they heap curses upon
the iiead of Andrew Johnson? Was he
a secessionist ? Did ho rebel against the
government? No! They hate him be
cause he, with the conservatives of the Na.
tion to back him, and the Constitution of
tho country to pilot him, still opposes
them in their fanatical, reckless rush, aftei
what they have always been striving for,
the control of tho government. To day,
if we look down into 1 their heart of hearts"
we would see, that their only motive for
keepiog our Repres ntatives out of the*
seats in Congress, is because they know
that they would again co-operate with the
President and the conservatives North, and
thereby prevent alterations and mutilations
of the Constitution, which is the on’y hope
of the Radi als’ ascendancy to power. Is
notthis a demonstrate truth? Has not
the South acquiesced in every requirement?
Has she not, even as a repentant sinner
made every promise ? Has she not given
evidence of the sincerity of her repentance
by her actions ? The Legislatures of the
the seceded States have been guided, as
nearly as they could, to the very letter, by
the advice of the Chief Magistrate. And
when yet a radical Congress is still doubt
ful of their loyalty, the question is asked
“whatelse will you have us do?” And
■what is the answer ? With chains in their
hands, and the demon of destruction in
their hearts, these radicals present us with
a constitution mutilated, a government
changed, until to call it free would be but
bitter irony, and to dec’are that we must
accept of this or wear these chains !” The
(ruth is no ooncession the South might
make would, yet a while, conciliate the
Eadicais. They have a purpose to accom- i
plmh, and the recognition of tho loyalty of
the South would thwart it. In the next 1
Presidential election, they must succeed—
the reins of Government must be in their
hands—Democrats, conservatives, and all
others must be put down, and—then fare
well to the Republican Government od this
continent forever.
SOI.XD LOGIC FOS HIE PRO.
pU.>™»yuup«t« ot the President's
Vet?
We give below a synoptii cf the vorj
able message of President Johnson, veto
i«g the «< Civil fUghta Fiil
“By the first EPOtim : f ibe bill, all pe r
souß born ia the United States sad not eub
jeot to any foreign power, excluding I .c ans
not taxed, are declared to be ci izeoa of tho
United States. It does not pur{ ort to give
these olassea of persons any ttatu* asoitiz. ns
of States, except that which may reaub
from their status as citizens es (be United
States. Tho power to confer the right of
State citiz“nship isjustas cxciudveiy with
tuc several States as the power to confer tho
right, of federal oitiz-nship it with Congress
“The right of Federal oitizenship thus to
bo conferred on the several accepted races
before mentioned, is now, for the brat Time,
proposed to be given by law. If, as is
claimed by many, all persons wfco are. pativc
born, already are, by virtue of tie Constitu
tion, citizens of the United States, tho pas
sage of the pending bill cannot bo necessa
ry to make thorn such. If, on the other
hand, such persona are not ci; : z ns, as may
bo assumed from tho proposed legislation t>•
make then such, tbe grave question presents
itself, when eleven of tho thirty-six states
aro unrepresented in Di gress, at this time
is it sound policy to make our entire colored 1
population and all other excepted classes cit
izens of tha United States? Four millions
of them have jest emerged from slavery into
freedom. Cuu it uo reasonably supposed
(hat they possess tbe requisite qualific t" ms
to entitle them to all the privileges and im
munities of citizens of the United States?
“Besides tlilf policy of tha Government,
from its origin to the present time, that per
eens who arc strangers to, and unfamiliar
with, our institutions and our laws should
pass through a certain probation, at the end
of which, before attaining the coveted prize,
they must give evidence of their fitness to re
ceive and to exercise tho rights es citizens
as contemplated by the Constitution of tho
United States. The b 11, in effect, proposes
a discrimination against large cumbers of in
telligent, worthy ami patriotio foreigners,
and in favor of the negro, to whom, after
long years of bondage, the avenues to free
dom and intelligence have lo u suddenly
opened. He must of necessity, from his
previous uuf rrtunate condition of servitude,
be less informed as to the nature aud ehar
ac’er of our institutions thau he who, coming
from abroad, has, to some extent at least,
familiariz ’d himself with *a government to
which he voluntarily entrusts ‘life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.’
“The first section of the bill also contains
an enumeration of the rights to be enjoyed
by these classes, so made citiz tis, ‘in every
B ato anl territory in tho Stake.’ These
rights are: ‘Te make and enforce e n racks,
to sue, to parties, and give evidence, to in
heri‘, purchase, lease, sell, hold and convey
real and personal propi aud to have full
and equal benefit of all lav.s and proceed
ings t r the security of person and property
as enj tyed by white citizens.’
“la the exercise of State policy over mat
ters exclusively Hff oting the people .of each
State, it has frequently been thought expe
dient to discriminate between tbe two races.
By the statutes of some of the States, Nor
thorn a3 well as Southern, it is enacted, for
ins-tauce, that no white person shall inter
marry v.i'h a negro or mulatto.
After admitting that this particular hill
do< s not in fact permit the intermarriage of
the white and black race’, ho suysj
‘ I cite (his discrimination, however, as
evidence of t'uj State policy as to discrimina
tion, and to enquire whether, if Congress
can abrogate all State laws of discrituiua-
ti.»n between tbo two race, in the matter of
real estate, of suits and of contracts gener
ally, Congress may nit alto lep-iil tiro State
laws us to contract of marriage between the
two r»ces?
‘■if it be granted that C.r gross can re
peal all S ate laws discriminating between
whit sand blacks in the ,subjects covered by
this bill, why, it may be asked, may not
Congress raped in the fame way all State
lawihdijcriminuting between the two races
on the subject of suffrage) and office? If
Congress can declare by law who shall hold
lands, who shall testify, who shall have ca
pacity to make a contract in a State, then
Congress can also by law declare who, with
out regard to color or race, shall have the
right to sit as a juror or as a judge, to hold
any offios, and, finally, to vote in every state
and teriitory of the United States.”
The seooud section of tho bill provid \s
‘‘discriminating protection to cel >red per
sons in the full enjoyment of ail the rights
secured to them by the preceding section,”
and subjeots to the penalty of fine and im
prisonment, or either, at the discretion of
the court trying the offence, any person who
may, under color of law, or otherwise, in
terfere with such enjoyment, including, by
its general terms, legislators, judges and
ministerial officers,
“Tho legislation thus proposed invades the
judicial power of the State, It says to ev
ery State, court or judge, if you decile that
this not is ucoonalitutional, if jou refuse,
under the prohibition of a state iavr, to al
low a negro to testify, if jou hold that over
such a suljoct matter the state-law is para
mount, and ‘under color ot a state law re
fuse the exercise of tho right to the negro,
your erro* of judgment, however conscien
tious, shall subject you to line and imprison
ment 1
“The third seotion gives the District
Courts of the Uuited States exclusive ‘cog
nisance of all crimes and c{fences committed
against the previsions of this act,’ and con
current jurisdiction with the circuit courts
of the Uuited States of all civil and crimi
nal ca es ‘affecting persons who are denied
or cannot enforce in tho courts or judicial
tribunals of the state or locality where they
may be, any of tho rights secured to them
by the fir6t see'ion.’
“ Tho legislative department of the gov
eminent of the United States thus takes
from tho judicial department of the states
the sacred and exclusive duty of judicial
decision, and converts the State Judge into
a mere ministerial officer bound to decide
j according to the will of congress.” 9
! The fourth and fifth sectious provide for
| the appointment of a host of commissioners,
j with quasi judicial powers, and tho right of
calling to their aid, when necessary, such
pardon of the land or naval forces of the
United States, or the militia, as they may
deem pteper. The President olj eta to ccc
ferring extraordinary powers ca ir.apcmu
agent“, and reg rJa iho general statutes,
regulatipg the turoes of the United States,
and the execution of tie laws adequate to
every emergency likely to ccour iu hue of
pea 00.
The seventh seotieu fixes the amount and
manner of collecting the fees us the C >nmiin
aioners. These fees aro payahle f:eta the
Treasury of the United States in all cases,
but, iu the event of a convictirn, aro recov
erable out cf the defendant The President
says ;
“It seems to me (hat under tho influence
of such temptations bad men might convert
any law, however beneficent, into an icetru
ment of persecution and fraud.
“By the eisrhth section (f the hill tbe Uni
ted tafatea Courts, which bit only in one
place for while ci: z ns, must migrate, with
the Marshal and District Attorney, (and
neocfuirily v,i h the Cl, rk, although lie is
not mentioned,) to any part of the District,
upon the order of the "President, and there
hold a court‘for (he purpose of (he more
speedy arrest ana trial of persons charged
with a violation of this Act;'’ and there the
Judge and the cfibers of the court must re
main, upon tho order of the President, ‘for
the time therein designated.’
“Ibe ninth sec ihi authorizes tho Presi
den', or such pirsou as he may empower Mhr
that purpose, ‘to employ such ( art of the land
and naval fern* of the United States or es
- mil.till, as shall be necessary to prevent
the violation arid enforce the due execution
ol this Act. .1 his language seems to imply
a permanent military force, fh,t is to be al
ways at hand, and whose only business ia to
l e tbe enforcement of this measure over .the
vast region where it is intended to opper-
“I do not propose to consider the policy of
this bill. To mo tin- details of the bill seem
•Taught with evil. The white race and the
black race of the South have hitherto lived
together under the relation of master and
slave—capital owning labor. Now, suddenly,
diat relation is changed, and, as to owner
snip, capital and labor are divorced. They
stand now each master of itself. Ia this
new relation, one being necessary to the oth
er, there will be anew adjustment,, which
both are deeply interested iu making bar
monious. Each has equal power in settling
the terms, and if left to the lavs that’ regu
late capital and labor, it is confidently be
lieved that they will satisfactorily work out
the problem. Capital, it is tru-, has more
intelligence j but labor is never so ignorant
as not to understand its own interests, not
to know its own vilue, and n t to see that
capital must pay that value. This bill frus
trates this adjustment. It intervenes be
tween capital and labor, and attempts to set
tle questions of political econemy through
the agency of numerous officials, whocs in
terest it will be to forneut discord between
the two races; for as the breach widens their
employment will conticu-, and when it is
closed their occupation will t rmiuatc.”
A Fearful Truged j p in Kentucky—
Maj. Wafers, of Georgia, killed.
The Pa rid (Ky) True Kentuckian,
March 29. says: On last Monday a fearful
tragedy was enacted in Millendmrg, of this
county. Henry M. Boulden,of this coun
ty was being tried for a breach of tho
peace, and during the progress of the trial
young Bouldcn jumped up, drew his pis
til, flourishing it and swearing, said, ‘ Anv
person who said he fired his pistol the
night belore told a lie,” and that he would
kill the person who touched him. The
marshal attempted to arrest him, and call
ed upon the bystanders to assist, and in the
attempt to do so he fired his pistol twice,
the first shot killing F. E. Waters, son of
H. H. Waters, of Columbus, Ga , aud
formerly Auditor of that State. Waters
was about 21 years of age, and had lost a
leg before Atlanta, during tha war, having
been a Major in the 4th Georgia regiment.
He was a student in the.college at ‘Miilers
burg, and was looked upon as the mo.-t
brilliant young man in the institution.
Gooil Paper.
The paper on which this number of the
Journal is printed was manufactured at
the Fulton Mills, Atlanta Ga. It costs us
about eight, cents in the pound less than
the miserable stall wo have been using for
the last four weeks, which was manufac
tured a' tho ‘-Hath Mills” Augusta, Ga.
If that Inst concern cannot do better they
ought :o close up until the next war. Their
paper might do for war limes.
Distressing Calamity— The wife of
Mr. Reese Neves of Huntsville, Ala., while
silting by the hearth in her home, with a
child in her hip, was struck* by lightning
and instantly killed The child it was
thought wou’d also die. The electric cur
rent passed down through the chimney,
without injuring the house. This should
be a warning to others not to sit near a fire
place or window during a thunder storm.

| As the tornado advanced, the indications of

A iVorlhorn Adventure isi Sixio—A
Warning to Southern Young La

Two fair and buxom maiden 3 , who have
passed tho ruhicon of their turns, managed
t) accumulate a hands ima little sum by hard
and honest toil in the city of Augusta, and
embarked in business, in one of the corner
stores of that thriving burgh. They'were
quite successful, an '• mad" sufficient money
to invest in fifteen baler of o. tton. While
they were thus progressing in tho road to
wealth and happiness, a dashing young man
—one of the numerous pr. p-sossing a 1 ven
turers from the North—happened along one
day, and the eldest siatr r 1" came infatuated
with him. Her affection was reeipr mated
by the young man, and after a brief peri and
of love making, peculiar to most marriages,
ihoy resolved to unite their fortune*, and
tho wedding took placo on tho first < f Feb
ruary. The happy young wfo was induced
by the bright promises • f her cSw.-ot William
to turn the store and eolt n int> mon -y and
take a tour, after which they were to start
in business on n larg- r scale. She fully
confided in him and sold out. The husbmd
got posession of tho tn< n y, and left v.i■ h bi
wife and her Sister f< r Mobile. On the way
to this place he made the wedding t nr nrer
ry by paying out like a prince and living
Ike a lord. They r sb and burs in the early
part oflast week, and it seems t! t tLo “fond
young husband 1 ' bad whittl’d the capital
down to tho paltry sum of S3BO The wife
was filled with grave suspicions, but said no
thing. On Thursday, William borrowed
her watch and jewelry, on soma slight pre
text, wh n the terrible truth of bis design
flushed upon hi r. She, however, kept bet
own counsel, resolving to keep a close watch
on hitn. Sure enough, sho discovered that
he had taken out the trunks, and all sho had
in tho world. No time was lost in preo ir
ingthe services of two of our sharp* stdetec
tives. They traced the absconding husband
I I the mail boat, and from that he had lost
his passage, and went to the Battle House
With the truuks. The wife was sent to him,
and quietly asked why he bad changed their
boarding house without saying a word to
her about it This put the husband off his
guard, and she induct and liim to go down street
with Ler to look at a store which she was in
formed could bo rented very cheap. He ac
companied his injured wife, ami she led him
to the station home, whtre he was furnished
with the room to which she had alluded.—
Ills name is Wm. Molcr, but we refrain
from giving the maiden name of the young

made to get him released, but thus fur they
have proved unavailing The young wife

sketch, Mrs. Do Camp, whose maiden
name'was Roach, was born iu tho West In

years of age. At.an early period her pa
rents moved to the United States a-id set
tled iu the parish of Bt. James, Louisiana
The current of hep. life ran smoothly on, un
til the outbreak of the war for Southern in
dependence, when, fired by enthusiasm iu,
as she thought, the causo of liberty, she don
naUitho male attire, and was a tiling tho first
torurli to arms. Raising a company of caval
ry, and et.quipping it at her own expense,
she proceeded to Virgin'a, and there serVed
for eight months on tho Peninsular, under
thee mnnaud of iheo'olebratedCoh ind Dreux,
before her s x was discovered. When this
ocouircd she was at oneo mustered out and
ordered home. Instead ofol eyiug the order,
she proceeded to Columbus, Kentucky, and
was serving with General Polk at thu evacu
ation of that place. She proceeded to Is
land. No. 10 bilt not being satisfied with the
manner in which affairs were conducted there,
-he left and went to Fort Pillow, win re she
was elected First Lieutenant in Captain Phil
ip-, Company of Ind pendent Tennessee
Cavalry. With ‘her company she proceeds 1
t i Corinth, and rep irted t > General A. S.
J ,h".-!on. At the battle of Bhiloh Captain
Philips fell m r.ally wounded, and tho com
mand then devolved on her. Whilogal
latitfy lending her company in a charge, she
was. twice wounded and carried from the field.
After the retreat from Corinth she was tak
en to N -w O.U-an- fir surgical treatment,and
when the city fell into the Federal handi
she was among those taken .prisoner. After
a ennlineraent of several mouths she was pa
ri led,-arid soon after exchanged.
Proceeding at once to Richmond, the .dis
guised female soldi.-r was commissioned
Lieutenant iu the Adjutant General’s depart
ment, and ordered to report to Gen. Marcus
J. Wright, commanding the district of At
lanta. Upon reporting, she was assigned to
duty with the Piovost Marshal, as chief of
detectives aad military conductor. Serving
f, r several months in this capacity, she met
Maj r De Camp, of the 3d Arkansas cavalry,
to whom she was engaged to be married pre
vious to the war. Tha ceremony was theß
performed at Atlanta, and from the dashing
Liiuteuant Roach she was transformed to
the sob-r Mrs. Major Do Camp. From this
time hc-r services ceased aa an officer in the
fi Ld and she was"engaged in secret service—
sometimes in tho Confederacy, again in
England, and then in Canada. In 1864 she
spent several months travelling iu the Uni
ted States, and even went as far as the Si
oux country in Minnesota. 11 r husband,
who was taken prisoner at the fall rs 1863,
while senieg with his regiment in Georg:a,
was carried to Now York. Aft. r a loug and

at Camp Chase.
After tho final collapse of the Confederacy,
Mrs. Do Camp remained in the N. rt.li until
January, when she returned to her home in
Liuisiana; but. remaining there only a few
iliys, she proceeded to Memphis, am] pur
chase! a stock of goo Is which were shipped
on the ill-fat and steamer Miami, which was
1 lowiyup on the Arkansas in February
She was one of the two ladies who were sav
ed, but with the sacrifice of all her baggage
aud goods. By an unfortunate oversight on
the part of her merchants, her goods were
not injured, and, consequently, she lost her
all.
Mrs. De Camp is now in this cltv, and so
journing at the Bout,hem Hotel. Many who
served iu tho Confeder ts army will remem
ber tbe dashing Lieut. Roach, of whom so
much was said in Mobile aud Selma in 1803
Our space will not permit a lull recital of
her adventures.
Browni.ow delivered himself, according
to promise, of no excess of bile and venom,
at Knosvi’le, on the 23 1.
He exhibits Ids usual amiabi’i yof temper,
and o 01-id' rate regard for ihe pr qrieties of
1 .n, uugp, as "i:i h • saen by thefdlowingex
tracts from his speech, reported for the Ciu
cinnaii Commercial.
“I am in furor of the test oath, and don’t
want it repealed, and it won’t be, thank
God. There are crippled rebels in Wash
ington who want to govern this country, and
lam opposed to letting them in. They
wouldn’t help govern the country. Presi
and i t J :hnson cant carry a single State north
of Mason’s line but Kentucky, and I wish
he would carry that State to “bell.”
The people of the North are for the Union.
I have writ en letters to Ct fax, Kelly, and
other , for which 1 have been a used by the
rebrls all tbr.ugb the South. I'hi y aro more
defiant, to-day, than when Lee surrendered.
The Tennessee delegates ought to be admit
ted when they take the oath.
They had f rty papers in Tennessee, and
but seven of them are loyal. The thirty three
are bitter, artful, rebel sheets, many of them
edited by Northern Copperheads—the meati
est ol&ss of men that walk on earth. They
are meaner than Judas Iscariot. Arnold
and Burr wero patriots compared to them.
Our State Legislatureis at a lock—twenty
one members bolted. They all endorse
President J hasou. They have left two
hundred lunatics end three hundred convicts
to starve. I have provided money to feed
them. If the next Legislature refuses to
to refund the money, I will turn the crazy
and convicted loose on Middle Tennessee. —
It will be the best physio they ever had.”
The death penalty was restored, by the
recent legislature, for horse stealing. The
iaw now is as follows:
That from and after the passage of this
act, the stealing of any horse or mule shall
be punished by death, unless recommended
by the jury to the mercy of the court, in
which event, the punishn ontshall be as now
prescribed by the code.
Approved 17th March, 1 S'3G.
A Mrs. E B. Blill, of Philadelphia a
clairvoyant, prophecies that the world will
come to an end on the 9th February, 1869,
at 9'o’clopk in the morning.
Easter Sunday fell this year on the Ist
of April. Thi+ circumstance has not oc
eured since 1804, and will only occur again
twice in tho present centurv, in 1877 and
1888.
