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 pieces by SjDO of our exjuoding sbells, while j in the uc'; of t&Mng luncheon under a tree. 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 iutotatfie, therefore had not be<-o Included in tbe rout, and that the Yankees had gained time enongh to replace the demoralii and troops wiih re serves drawn in as rapidly as possible from the oth er sid# of the river.

Nmt Orlkaxk, April 19.—The Bishops’ diameters were taken up, anti their con duct in the discharge of their duty for the pact eight years was indorsed. The Rook Committee fuiled to noree, nnd two reports were submitted in reference to the Publishing House. Tbe Conference adopted a set of resolu tions to the effect that tho Methodist Epis copal Church South stands ns she bus al ways stood, ready and willing to consider with Christian candor any unequivocal and scriptural overtures for sympathy and fel lowship which may be tendered her by trtbV body of Christians in their general re )vrciv ntative capacity, and reciprocating the fraternal greetings and expressions of Christies 1 )ve borne from f hristian Union of lilkrcir: by their messenger, Rev.

Conference. The Board of Foreign Missions were* instructed to establish a tnirsioc umongthe i Chinese residents of California, as soon as practicable. A resoluti' n was passed prohibiting young mcif just enteiing conference from icing j luted in charge of stations or cir cuits. A report upon colored people was adopt ed autlioiizing the formation among this race of Matrons, quarterly, annual and general conferences. Bishop Andrew formally took leave of the general conference to-day. Feeble health ard the infirmities of age demanded rest, and he requested to he placed upon the retired list. Be spoke hopefully of the Church and her interests, and t id the con-; ference an affectionate farewell. Every eye in the house was filled with tears. ” ! Washington, April 24.—Our Govern ment, learning that Auetra is raising troops to operate against Mexico, has instructed cur Minister at Vienna to inform that Gov ernment that in a war, waged by her at this time, tinker the existing circumstances, the United States could nut remain silent or in different spectators. Austria lias ccwe upon the ground of non intervention, to which we Lave invited France. A negro insurrection was attempted at Panama on the 2-Ub u!t They were sur rounded by troops and shot down like sheep, twenty-five or thirty were killed, and one hundred made prisoners.

Espec ially is this the case in Terrell and adjacent ct unties. Ihe laborers arc woikiog with a I willing hand, and fears of the planters rre passing away. The weather for the past week has been very favorable to the young [ corn. Some little complaint about the siand of cotton, but as a general thing it is very good. We arc still having fine grow ing weather. 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 New Advertisements.
