Forqzry — A man named Fuller, from Jones county, was arrested in Macon a tew days ago, charged with forging tho name of Mr. Job E Taylor, a citizen of Monroe county. The order was on Mr. Singleton, of tbe firm of Singleton and Hunt. 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 aDd white.” We hope these enterprising 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.

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.

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.

The whole couutry , was inundated, and the soil in many place* washed down to the substratum of clay, as : though the clouds had hurst and flooded the 1 earth with ocems of water at once. The foil >wing is the list of Ibe lives lost and total destruction aa far as named : Joseph Harper vyas mortally wounded, three of his daughters were killed outright, and five others of Li: family of nine mortal- Jy wounded His home and every object of , lus place was eptirely carried away, and' nothing has since been foufid of anything. A wagon load of fl mr and meal in sacks was taken up'by the tornad’, and no trace of it afterwards found. Thirteen thousand dollars in money was blown away with the house. M. B.

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

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.

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.

Subsequent to the death of her husband (in January,lß6o,) she proceeded to Columbus, Ooi >, to watch over the into rests of the Confederate prisuueis confimed 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.
