fbe dead bodies, chiefly those of the brave
Irishmen of Meagher’s hrigsdo, which went
to the attack 1,200 strong, and loft 900 of
thpir number this dreadful spot.
About seven lock the battle oeasod for
s he dav; only random cannon-shots were
s'ill intercbaogsH, the flight of the shells
distinctly marked in flaming curves across
the dark firmament, and tho shadows of
evening foil upgn a batt’e-fi'ld ,*the name
less horors of whicji none of us had even
measurably conjectured—ft battle-field where
thousands of mutilated and dying men lay
in hopeless anpuhh, in their wounds
. and pitilessly closed to tho sharp frosty
nir of the Alight.
Not one of ouaiflenerals was aware of the
magnitude of th* virtory we.had gained, of
the injury we had inflicted upon the enemy, !
and of the degree of domorabzition in the j
hostile army, everybody regarding the work
ns but half done, and expecting a renewal ol j
the attack the following morning. Os ou r
own army only onc-tbird had been engaged,
and our loss did not exceed 1,800 in killed
and wounded. Most of then's belonged to
A, I’. Hill's division, and bad fallen during
the first attack in the morning, on the spot
where our lines Lad for soaro lima been
broken. * -
MVe Lad to mourn the look oT two officer l '.
Oeu. Maxey Gregg, of Snutfl, Carolina, and
Thomas It It. Cobb, of Georgia, whg fell on
Mary’s Rights. At uis side, Gen.* &>' kc,
a brother of Mrs. Ftuart, was
wounded iD fprehowd. The Federal
leas was not bar than 11,000 in killed and
wounded (wc took BiK) prisoners,) and in
this aggregate of casualties was to bo Reck
oned the loss of many *TOrs of high rank
Among these. w r .a tbe Ra.
Bayard, a cavalry officer of gfeat promise,
who, far in tbe rear of Ki 6 lines wns torn to

Gy.eral Lee has •been. APm criticised,
and chiefly bv Eng’islT wider-*, f >r not hav
ing assumed the offensive ™’sis battle ; but
ev f ry one who knows bow exceedingly diffi
cnlt it bad become, already at that time, to
fill tho ranks of tbe Qonf.-derate army, and
bow valuable each individual life tn that
army mu t have been and, .on
tho other hind what reckless prodigality of
Ufa charaetoiiz’d tbe Federal Government,
and tbe Federal commanders, caring little
that 20 000 or SO 000 men should be killed
in a campa’gn, when as many more Ger
*maiiß and Irishmen coni 1 bo readily put in
their p'aces— I say that every one who
bears in mind these facts will agree with me
in thinking that cur commander in-ebief ac
ted with great consideration and wisdom.
There was scarcely an officer in tho whole
army U’bo did not confidently b lievo that,
ibe attack would be renewed tbe nfxt day ;
and where an opportunity was likely to be af
ter-led of again inflict'ng a seri -us damage
•upon the enemy with trifling injury to our
selves, it surely cannot be censured as a
fault to have speculated upon the incipacity
of the adversary. Gen. Lee, who had been
careful to strengthen tbe weaker portions
of his line during tho night, said in my
presence tbe following morning: “My
army is as much stronger for their new in
trench merits. a« if I bad received reinforce
ments of 20,000 men.” I regard it as al
most certain that had tl e Federal commander
been able to can v out his intention of renew
ing tbe struggle, tbe second day would have
turned out even mere disastrously to him
than the first.
*lr. must be ri’rotisced here that the division of
Te-deral inf-ntry opposite to n« hud not as vet gene

Dawson Jlercliauts,
, Our merchants have displayed a great
| deal of taste in the selection of their Spring
j and Summer stocks. Our country ftiends
can be eupplied with almost any article
j they Piny call for, and, ns every one of
them bought goods on the decline , cheaper
than they can bo obtained anywhere else,
come to Dawson to trade “if you want to
get your money back.” Read the adver
tisements in tho Journal and see what our
merchants havo got, and recollect that
Benjamin Franklin,'or some body else, has
said “that the man who advertises always
sells goods cheap.”
Tlie County Judgeship,
The editor of the “Sumter Republican,”
in a late number of that paper, recom
mends Dr. W. J. Barlow, who has recently
settled in our county, as a suitable man
for this office We have no doubt the
office would find an able incumbent in Dr.
Barlow, but wo havo been informed by
that gentleman—and requested to make it
public—that such a step on his part, was
entirely foreign to his remotest ideas, and
tho suggestion was made without h‘s
knowledge or approval.
The Republican gives as a reason for
tbe suggestion, that it saw no candidates
announced in our paper II be will look
at the proper column of tbe Journal , he will
find, as bis “friends in Terrell" have already
done, that the name of one of our most
worthy and best qualified citizens —Wiley
G. Parks—has been before tho pubfc for
the past four weeks.
P. S. Since writing the above, we have
been requested to announce the name of
A J. Baldwin, Esq., another worthy and
well qualified citizen, for tho Judgeship.
So, friend Hancock, the office will not
go l-r-o.nng in Terrell, although everybody
(almost is not running, as is the case in
tome, counties we know of.
Fit fa til a, Alabama.
YVe mhde a short visit to Eufaula a few
, days ago, and were very favorably im
pressed with tbe appearance and pro peets
!of this thriving city. We had no idea
that it was a place of so much importance
| and attraction as it is. Situated immedi
i atcly on the Chattahoochee river, and be
ing the terminus of the Southwestern rail
road gives it great advantage tls a market,
’ especia’ly for Southwestern Georgia. —
There are now six fine boats which make
; r’gular trips between Eufaula au 1 Apa-
lachecolti Florida. Three others aie tied]
up undergoing repairs. Then, there are
three lines of steamers plying between j
Apalacbico’a and New Orleans, which;
throws Eufaulain direct and constant com-!
1
mtinica'i n with New Orleans which is the !
best Grocery market we have. Ow ing to
this advantage freights are comparatively |
low and still declin’ng. Within the last
thirty days freights have been reduced
fifty per cent. It will be seen at a glance
that in almost any branch of trade, mid
particularly in the Grocery and Hardware
line, country merchants can have their or
ders filled very advantageously to them
-1 selves.
At this time Eufaula is well supplied j
with goods. Heavy stocks have been laid ;
in with an eye to the wholesale trade. Her !
merchants are waking up to the fact that |
Eufaula is entitled to a la’ge share of
patronage. They are putting on business
habits, and advertising, as they should do,
that the people may know what they can
do in Eufaula. Let the render turn his
eye to the columns headed “Eufaula Ad
vertisements’’ and see the evidence of en
terprise rnd thrift there displayed, Fueh
mi n ought to be patronized, and w e recom
mend every one of them to the favorable
consideration of our friends. If any thing
is wanted, go to the men who advertise to
l get it.
Persons visiting Eufau’a cannot complain
of the Hotels, of which there are two,
w hen they leave. We can speak from ex- i
perienee of the “Chewnlla House,’’ for
there we tamed during our stay. Every
thing was in order and according ta thj
most improved style of Hotel keeping.
Tue other, ‘the Howard House gives
perfect satisfaction. Both are undergoing
thorough repairs and in a littlo while will
look as weU outside os they are in reality
ius.de.
A large female College is in a flourishing
condition in Eufaulu, under tho direction
I of R. D. Mallory, assisted by a competent
faculty. We nre acquainted with Mr. Mul
lojy, and therefore are not supiised to hear
of his popularity as a Teacher. This we
are informed, is not a denominational In
stitution.
The churches, of which there nre four,
besides the Catholic, are in a tolerably
prosperous condition. We visited only
one the Methodist, of which Rev. Mr.
Bhapardson is the very efficient, pastor.
The Daily News, the only Newpaper in
Eufaula is doing, no doubt a very fine
business. It is edited with ability and
ought to flourish.
We visited the extensive Brass and Iron
Foundries, an advertisement from each of
which, may be 6een in our columns. It is
enough to say that there is no use sending
further than Eufaulu for anything made!
out of Iron or Brass. We heard some of
our citizens, enquiring not long since, where
fencing for graves could be obtained. We
found ihe very thing they wanted, and of
the most beautiful patterns, at Blairs’. j
We made some enquiry into the present
status of the Eastern Bank of Ala., which
is located at Eufaula, and learned that the|
bills' were worth at present, 50 cents on
the dollar. We were a’so informed that
as soon as returns are received from cotton
shipped abroad the institution would re- j
sumo business.
And now, in bidding adieu to Eufaula,
for the present, we would not forget to re- j
turn our thank to many of her citiz ns for
favors shown us, and especially has the!
house of Jenkins Brothers, placed us un
der many obligations.
THE I RESIDENT 0\ THE SITUATION.
No Taxation Without Representa
tion.
Washington, April 18.—In rop-ly to the
crowd of soldiers and sailors assembled at
the White House this evening to pay their
respeots to the President, Mr. Johnson
said :
I coufess that, in the peculiar condition
of public affairs, your presence and address
give encouragement and confidence to me in
my efforts to discharge the du'i‘B incumbent
upon me as Chief Migistrate of the Repub
lic, and in what I have to say I shall address
you in tho character of citizens, sailors and
soldiers. [Aplause.]
We arc to-day involved in one of the most
cii'ied and trying situations that has aceur
red since the Government came into exist
ence —a nation has still another test to un
dergo, and that is to give evidence to the
earth, and to is own citizens, that it has
power to restore internal unity ; that it has
I s'veLgth enough to put down treachery and
j treason within its own border. [Cheers ]
We have commenced anew ordeal, and, 1
trust in God, that wo will pass through it
tuecessfutly. [Cheers ]
1 feel complimented, by the allusion of
one present, to the fact that in the Senate '
iu 1 SCO and 1801, when tho natim was!
entering on this ordeal, I raised my hand j
against treason, treachery, and traitors at
home, [(-beers and cries of good] I stand
here to-iay holding to and maintaining the
same position that I then enunciated.—
[Cheers ] l stand here to-day opposing
traitors and treasou, whoever they bo, in the
South or in the North. [Cheers.]
1 stand here to-day as I then stood, u.-ing
all my powers, mental and physical, to pre
serve ihe nation in passing through tho third
phase of its existence. The organ'zed forces
and combined powers that recently stood
arrayed against u a , nre disbanded and driv
en from the field ; but it does not follow
that ihrro are still no enemies against our
present, form nf Government and our free
institulions. [Applause.]
1 then stood in the Senate gs the United
| Slates denying the doctrine of seperation
’ and secession. I denied then, as Ido now,
shat any Slate has the right, of its own will
. to separate itself from the other States, and
I ihe right to destroy the Union and break
'up the Government. I think I have given
some evidence that I have lacu sincere and
in earnest.
Now, I want to know why it is that the
whole train of il inderers and calumniators
have been harking and snapping at my
heels ? [Cheers] Why is it that they j
have arrayed themselves against me? Is it
because I stand on the side of the people t
and when I say people, I include sailors and
soldiers. [Cheers ] Why is it that they
are arrayed in traducing aud villifyiog and
calumniating me ? Where were they dur
ing the rebellion ? I answer, at home in bed!
[Laughter.]
In the Senate I raised my voice against i’,
and when it was believed that it would bo to
the interest of the nation and would assist
in putting down the rebellion, did Inc t
leave my placo in the Senate—a place of
enjoyment, ease and distinction—and take |
my posit in where the enemy could bo reach
ed, and where men's lives wore iu danger ?
I [Checis, and ciies‘ That's so.’’]
While thus exposed personally and pub-j
: licly, some of my present traducers and ca
i himniators were fur removed from the foe,
j and were enjoying ease and comfort.—
; [Cheers and laught r.] llut I care not for
! tuenu ; I care not that slander, tho foul whelp
of sin, has been turned looso against me ; I
| care not fir all that, aud lot me tell you here
|to day, that although pretty well advanced
in life, I feci that I shall live long enough
jto live down the whole pack of traducers
and slanderers, [\pplause.]
• They have turned the whole pack loose
to lower mo in your estimation, “verily, they 1
can’t do it.” Tray, Blanche, and Sweet
heart, li tie dogs, and all, come along snap
ping and snarling at my heels, but I heed
them not. [Cheers.] Tho American peo
ple, citizens, soldiers and sailors, know that
from my.advent in'o tho pub’ic life to the
1 present moment, 1 have always stood un
waveringly the advocate and defender of
their rights and interest. [Cheers ]
We are new in the nation’s third ordeal
iWc are no * through ; we denied that States
j cculd go out of the Union ; wo denied the
' dootriue of secession, anl havo demonstra
! tod by the strong arm ; yea, tho solditrs und
sailors, Qod bless them, havo demonstrated
by their patriotism and strong arms that
.States have not the power to leave the Un
ion. [Applause]
The Confedeiato armies were overpowered
and disbanded, and there was a willingness
on the part of tho people of those States to
come back in obedience to tho law, and ac
knowledge the supremacy of the Constitu
tion of our fathers.
For what have we passed through the. tried
ordeal ? It was to prove the principle that
uo State hud the power to break up the Gov
ernment.
It was to put down the rebellion. Ihe
robellion has been put dowu, and what for ?
Was it to destroy the States ? Verily, nev
er ! For what have all tbese lives been sac
rificed, and all this treasure expeuded ?
Was it for tho purpose of destroying the
States? No! It was for the purpose of
preserving tho Union of the States.—
That is what we have been e mending for,
and to establish tho fact that the nation can
lift itself ab.vo and beyond eternal wars and
treason, and os'&blish a homo.
Wb en the rebellion in Massachusetts was
put down, did that put Massachusetts out
if the Union and destroy the State? When
the rebellion in Pensylvania was put down,
did that destroy the State and put it out of
tbeUuion? So, when (lie recent great, re
bellion was put down, and tho constitutim
and laws o? the country restored, the States
engaged in the rebellion being crushed, the
law restored and tho constitution acknowl
edged in them, they stand iu the Un’o i, un- !
dor the Constitution, ss a part of the glori-1
ous and bright galaxy of States. [Loud
ohoers ]
In passing through the ordeal, what has
been dene in them under the direction of
my lamented predecessor ? We commenced
the work of repair. We succeeded, before I
came here, in restoring tho relations which
had existed between Tennessee and the rest
of tho Union, with one exception, and that
was the relation of representation.
I came to Washington, ar.d tiuder extra
ordinary circumstances succeeded to the
Presidential chair. Ihe Congress of the
United States had adjourned without [re
scribing any plan. I then proceeded as I
had done in my own State, iu the leeon-
Rtruction of the government, to restore other
States. II iw did we begin ? Wo found
that the people had no courts, and wo said
to the Judges, District Attorneys and Mar
shals ; “Go down and hold your couits;
the people need the tribunals of justice open
ed.”
Was there anything wrong in that?—
Tbe courts were openi and. What else? We
looked out and saw that the people down
there had no mails. They had been inter
rupted and cut off by the operation of the
rebellion. We said to the Postmaster Gen
eral: “Let the 'people Have facilities for
mails and let them again understand what
we all feel and think, that we arc one peo
ple.”
We looked out again, and saw that there
was a bhekade—that the custom houses
were all closed. Wo said: “Open the
of the custom houses and remove the
blockade ; lot the pursuits of .peace go on ”
It was done. Wo thus travel on, step by
step, opening custom housis, appointing col
lectors, and establishing mail facilities, and
restoring all rail roads that had been inter
rupted by rebellion. Was there anything
undertaken to be done here tl at was uot
authorized by the Constitute n: that was
not justified by strict necessity of the case;
that has not been clearly consist! nt wiih the
Constitution and with the general spirit of
our Government ? [Cheers]
What remained to be done? One other
thing reuiaioed to show the civilizrd world
that we bad passed successfully through the
tried ordeal of our national existence, and
proved that our Government was popular.
A great principle was to be restored, which
was established in onr Revolution, when our
fathem were contending against tbe power
of Great Britain. What was one of the
principal causes of their complaint? If
was they complained ts taxation without
representation. [Cheers] One of the great
principles laid down by our fathers, and
which fired their hearts, was, that there
should be no taxation withoutrepri sentath n
Ilow, then does tho mstt-r stand? Who
has been usurping power? Who has been
defeating tho operation of the Constitution?
and what now remains to be done to com
plete the restoration of these States to all
their former relations under the Federal
Government, and to finish the great ordeal
through which they have be:n passing ? It
is to admit representation, what do we mean ?
We mean representation in the consti'u'ion
and law-abiding sense which was understood
at the begiuing of the Govert!m i t.
The Constitution declarcsin express terms
that each House, the Senate and lower
House of Representatives, each acting for
itself, shall bo the judge of the returns of
the elections and qualifications cf its own
members. It is for each House to settle
that question under tho Constitution anil
under the solemn sanction of an oath ; affd
can we believe that either House would ad
mit any member into its body to parneips*
in the legislation of the country who is a®*
qualified? They have power —not tho two
Houser, but one House for itse f Ihe
constitution further declares that no 3*ate
shall he deptived of its iqual suffrage in the
Senate of the United States without its con
■ sent. Where do we ft nd ? All tkat is
! needed to finish the great work of rest- ration
is for the two Houses respectfully t oj decide
the que-tion. j _ *|
Ob, but someone will say, a trailer might
come in. The answer to that, is, iaah House i
must be the judge of it; aud if a traitor pre- ;
sents himself, i cannot help it. she House j
knows that he is a traitor. [Applause.]
If ho is a traitor, can they not kick him ;
out of and ors and send him back, saying to i
the people who sent bin), “\aumust send
us a loyal man.” [Cheers.] Is there any
difficulty about that? [Cties ot “co, no,
and cheer-.] If a traitor presents himscli
|to either House, cannot that House say to
| him, “No, you cannot be admitted iDto th.s
body Go back; we will not deny your peo
ple the right of represeubtion, but must
they send a loyal representative.” [Cheers,]
To be Biaxs is Mind.*— A cotemporary
calls attention to the fact that horsestealing
and house-breaking were both made capital
offences, punishable with death, by the late
Legislature ; also, a law was passed taxing
all spirituous liquors sold, except by the
manufacturer, twenty cents on the gallon
