Sun, Siim'er Repub lican Macon Papers and Cuthbert Repor ter, will please give the above two or three insertions. We still receive communications with only initials appended. Again we say that all communications unaccompanied by the full name of the writer are thrown under the table, without regard to merit. What Congress Did. It cannot be denied that the body which last disgraced the Halls of the National Congress wire more active than any which has heretofore assembled. It is only noc easury to cite the present condi ion of our Republic to <stablieh the fact; and a sail fate awaits the iove.s of Republican Gov ernment, if the next congress falls as far behind it in the promotion of the general good, and is equal to the late loathsome llump in the promulgation of ruinous prin ciples and precedents! But lets see what they did. They took their seats just at the clos' of the mo t bloody and de tructive war ever known to the continent. It was nat ura’ for the prop'e of the land to expert of them the attempt at least, finally to heal tho wounds that had been festering for the Inst thirty years—to apply the means fur nished by the results of the war to the res toration of peace and harmony to the coun try, with the restoration of their idol the Union —to do away witii sectional preju dice and social and political discord. And without rutering into details, here’s how they did it: First In n cowardly spirit of revenge, our former slaves wero armed and placed us monitors over the uct’ons of white men —and to what cud ? If possible to so pro voke and so infuriate tho Southern peop'o its to produce reactions that would give them a plea for the illegal and disgraceful oppression and villainous swindling they intended to carry on in the future. To this end their emissaries are still at work— some of them even in our own borders, to incite riots, disturbances, &c,, in order to frustrate the intentions of those who would, in good faith restore the Union as it was, until their love of revenge—their apetites for blood sndcarange arc satiated. When will this be! Not until the Southerner is a serf, and his homestead a heap of ruins. Their only aim from beginning to end has been to prevent the restoration of the Union, but still the hypocrites cry Union 1 Union! Their next object poems to have been the elevation of the negro. Do they love him ? We don’t think it possible to cite a case of individual lovo for the negro on their pert, i. e. in this section. But they envy 1 and hate the whit Bcf the South, and seek , the elevation of the one only for the dogra- < dation of the other. They know that those who have raided Ahe negro and been raised up with him can only harmonize him to his present condition. They know that it is our desire as honest men to do this, nnd yet they have thrown obstacles in tho way of this plan in every possible way— principally wi h their miserable bureau humbug. And tbeir every action in this particular has evinced a desire to do harm instead of good. How did they better the financial con dition of the country ? The Treasury waa drained for four years—the commerce oi | the country bad been chock d— yet they, in cowardly fear, distrust the South, after ehe had surrendered the last gnn, and keep large armies on her territory—organ ise arm and equip tho negroes—impose heavier taxes than the people can bear; and, to cap the climax, vote their miserable selves an increase of salary from three to five thousand dollars. Ibis is an enor mous price to pay for men to do nothing but abuse the President, oppress the peo ple, and harp on ruination measures. To blacken tho infamy of this action, these ytapatfietic, tenier-liearted fellows vote* down a proposition at the same time to in crease the megre pay of gjvernment operatives at the Capitol. There certainly cannot be debasement enough in tbeir misguided constituencies to tolerate their miserable misrule much lon ger. The late grand assembly of patriots trom all the States and Territories of the Union, has for its objects the overthrow oi this damnable clique, and the final perfor mance of the work that should have been done by them—the complete restoration of peace and harmony throughout the whole country, God grant an early success ! Got. Wallath in Mexico —The arri val in Mexico of an American officer of tke prominence of Gen. I.ew. Wallace, and hia acceptance of a position as Major General in the Liberal Mexioan army, looks as if he at least anticipa’eJ something more impor tant than mere guerrilla operations against the Imperialists. Soughcm St oak — The Western pnp"rs allude to a now invention by which sorg hum molass s is almost instantly converted into sugar. Tho syrup is driven off by centrifugal power and granulation effected. The forces employed are wi bout cost, and r quire no education to govern and direct them. After the molasses is prepared in the usual way, which every one compre hends, the turning of a crank completes the process, and consummates the entire work most perfectly. No heating is nec essary, no evaporation or delicate manipu lation, or chemical mixtures The cold sorghum is converted in two or three min utes into refined sugar and molnsscs. If nil that is claimed for this discovery be true, it must of course work a considerable change in the saccharine trade of the coun try. Sorghum flou.Lbes pretty much in all the States and territories of tho Union. Wherever corn grows it may bo made to grow, and larmers through this simplo proce-s, will now be enabled to supply themselves with all they need in tho way of sweets. As the machinery is by no means c -stly, wo presume the improve ment will generally be made avail .bio. Hews Items. There nre rurncts that Judge Advocats Holt is to be removed.

I.oss by not taking a Comity Paper. Generally speaking but little importance is attached to the taking of a county news paper. This neglect aDd indifference had its practical reward tbc other day. Sonic time ago a gentleman in this town was appointed aQ Auditor to distribute the funds in the hand-t of an Administrator amongst the creditors. Notice of tbo Aud itor was published in two of tho county pa pers. It so happened that a few creditors resid ing in a certain partion of tho county who had colloctively claims to the amount of seven or eight hundrd dollars, from the neg lect of taking a county paper never beard of the audit until after the Report of tLc Au ditor had been confirmed by the Court.— They then came into town to enquire about the likelihood of securing their cfaims; call ed upon an Attorney, who examined into the matter, and informed them that they had forever lost their money, and we pre sumo charged them five dollars f, r tho in formation. All this resulted from being too penurious or too careless to subscribe lor a county paper. These gentlemen have learned a lesson that will last them the balanoe of their lives, and as a warning to others who from the same motives fail to take their county pa per. There is scarcely a man in the communi ty who will not be ctugbt up some day on a legal notice, but that does not take a paper, unless he clandestinely reads his neigebor’s, and every gentleman should lie above litera ry pilfering like this. So Bays an exchange. Horrible and Mysterious Affair Mobile Times gives a strange account of an inqtest held on the 11th inst., in that city, on the body of an unknown roan, found dead in a room of a house on a street of a suburb. The unfortunate victim had a few days ago, hired a suite of rooms, and not having been seen since he entered them, the landlady suspected something wrong, sent for the police, wheD, the door being forced open a horrible spectacle was discovered. The headless body of the man was lying in a state in his own bed l A suspicion of murder at once aro'e in tLe midst of the spectators, and a coroner was sent for, who, notwithstanding tho appear ances, at once impressed bis opinion that the death has not the result of a murder, bat of suicide ! and while looking over the body a letter was found in the hands of the victim, fully justifying the Coroner’s opin ions. The letter ran thus :“I have put an end to my own life—l was tired of exist ence in this ungrateful land—and I left it of my own freo will. There is money jin my drawer sufficient to pay my funeral ex penses. As to my name try not discover it. To prevent indications, I have hidden my own head where you never will find it.” This whole transaction is thus destined to remain ehroueed in eternal mystery ! PEACE PKOCEAHIATIO.iI! THE END OF MILITARY RULE ! RESTORATION OF HA BIAS COKPUB! ETC. As heretofore anticipated the I’rcsidcot has issued a final peace proclamation, de claring civil law fully iritored in all the Stales of tho Union. After r. iterating all the previous proclamations and the revolu tions of Congress on the subject, it oon cludes ns follows: Whereas, the Presedenf, in said proclam ation of the 13th of June, 1866, upon the grounds therein stated, as before recitod, did then and thereby prrcaim tho in surrection, which heretofore existed in the several States before named, except Texas, was at an end, was henceforth to he so re girded 1 and \Y hereas, subsequently to the said second day of April, 1866, the insurrection in tho State of Texas has been completely and everywhere suppressed and ended, and the authority of the United States successfully and completely established in the said State of Texas, and now remains therein unresist el and i ndi puled, and such of the United States officers as have been commissioned within the 1 mi's of she said State aro now iu the undisturbed exercise of their official ! fui c ions; and Whereas, the laws can now be sustained ' and enforced in the said State of Texas or Federal, and the people of the other states before named are well disposed, and bate c nf rmed, er will conform iu then legssla tiw», to tho oondition es tiring* growing out of the amendment of the United States constitution prohibiting slavery within the limits and jurisdiction of the United States ; and , Whereas, all the reasons and conclusions set f rth in regard to the several States therein “siC‘!a'ly named now apply exactly and in all r. spccts to the State of Texas, as well as the other 8 ates which bod been involved in insurrection, and Whereo*, adtqnatc pri.vi.ii ns having been made by military orders to enforce and ex vxccuto of the acts of Congress and the civil authority s, and secure obedience to the con stitution and the laws of the United States wi.hiu the Stats of Texas, if a resort to military foroc for such purposes should at any time becomo necessary; Now, therefore, I, Andrew Johnson, Pres ident of the United States, do hereby pro claim and declare that the insurrection which heretofore existed in the Sta'e of Texas is at an end, and it is to be henceforth so regard ed in that State, as in the other Suatcs be fore named, in which said insurrection was proclaimed to be at an end by tha aforesaid proclamation of the 2d day of april, 1866 And Ido further proclaim that the said insurrection is at an end, aDd that peace, order and tranquility and civil authority now exist throughout the whole of the United States of America.

Done at the city of Washington, this twentieth day of Au gust, one thousand eight hundred and sixty six, and of tho independence of the United States of America the ninety-first. Andrew Johnson. By the President. Wm. Seward, Secretary of State. Philadelphia Union Convention, Declaration of Principles. The National Uninn Convention, now as sembled in the city of l'liiladclphia, com posed of delegates from evory State and Territory in the Union, admonished by the solemn lessons which for the last five years it has pleasod the Suprome Ruler of the Uni verse to give to the American peorle, pro foundly grateful for the return of peace, de sirous as are a large part of their country men, in all sincerity to forget aud forgive the past, revering the Constitution as it comes to us from our ancestors, regarding the Uuion, in its restoration as more sa cred than ever, lacking with deep anxiety into the future as of instant and continuing trial, hereby issues and proclaims the fol lowing Declaration of Principles and Pur poses on which they hive with perfect una nimity agreed. First.—Wo hail with gratitudo to A1 mighty God, the end of tho war, and the return of peace to our afflicted and beloved laDd. Second.—Tho war just closed has main tained tl e authority of tho Constitution with all the powers wbih it confers and all restrictions which it imposes upon the Gen eral Government, unabriged and unaltered and it has [reserved the Union' with the equal rights, d ; gnity and authority of the States perfect and unimpaired. Third.—llep ersentation in thr. Congress Os the United States and in the Electoral Co'lege, is a right recognized by the Con stitution as abiding in every State, and as a duty imposed upon its people, fundamen tal in its nature and essential to the exer cise of our Republican institutions, and nei ther Congress or the Genera; Govern m n has any authority or power to deny their rigat to any State, or withold its enjoyment under the Constitution from the people thereof. Fourth.—We call upon the people of the United States, to elect to Congress, as members thereof none bat men who admit thir fundamental right of representation, and who will receive to seats therein loyal representatives from every Strte in allegi nnoe to tho Uuited States subject to the Constitut'onal rights of each House to judge of the election returns and thequal. ideations of its own members. Fifth.—The Constitution of the United States, and the laws parsed in pursuance thereof, are the anpreme laws of the land, anything in tho Constitution or laws of any State to the eontrary notwithstand ing. All the powers not conferred by the Constitution upon the General Government nor prohibited by it to the States, are re served to the Statos or the people thereof; and among the rights thus reserved to the States, is the right to prescribe qualifica tions for the elective franchise therein, with which right Congress cannot interfere. No State or Convention of States has the right to withdraw from tho Union. The Union of these States is perpetual, and the authority of its Government is supreme within the limitations and restrictions of the Constitution. Sixth.—Such amendments to thf Consti tution of tho United States may be made by tho people thereof as they deem expo li ent, but only in the u ode pointed cut by its provisions, a :d in proposing such amend ments, whether by Oongrcs? or a Conven tion, and in ratfying iho same, all tho States of the Union have an eqoal and inde feasible right to a voioe and a voto thereon. Seventh—Slavery is abolished and for ever prohibited, and there is neither desire nor purpose on tho part of the Southern State* that it should ever be re-established, upon tho soil or within the jurisdiction of the Unite i States; and the enfranchised slaves in all the States of the Union should receive in common with all their inhabi tants, equal protection in every right of per o i and property. | E-ghth. While we regard as utterly in valid, and never to be assumed or made of I binding force, an obligation incurred or undertaken in irakingwar against the Uni ted Stater, we hold the debt of the Nation to be aacred and inviolable, and wc proclaim our purpose iu discharging this, as in perfor ming «11 other Nait mal obligations, to main tain uuimpeached and unimpaired the honor and faith of the Republic. Ninth.—lt is the duty of the National Government to recognise tho services ot the Federal soldiers and sailors in the contest jnsl closed’ by meeting pr. mptly and fully all their jest tnd rightful claims for the services which they have rendered the Na tion, and by extending to those of them who hive survived, nnd to tbe widows and or phans of those who have fallen, the most gene ous and considerate cure. Tenth, —ln Andrew Johnson, President of the United States who ia his greet offi >e bus proved steadfast in his devotion to the Constitution, the Lws and interests of his country, unmoved by persecution and un deserved reproach, having faith unassailable in the people, and the principles of free government, wo recognise a Chief Magis trate worthy of the nation and rqoal to the great crisis upon which his lot is cast; and we tender to him in the discharge of his high and responsible duties our profound re spect, and asauraqces of our cordial aud sin cere support. From the National Inteligeuc.'r. The tireat Object of the Hfatiouul Union Convention. The great object of the National Union Convention was to bring together the Con servative men—whether Democrats or Republicans, of the loyal States of 1860, aDd also to bring them intocouncil with del egates from the States lately in rebellion, who represent tho present Unioo sentiment of tha pooplo of thosf Statei. These two parties were to confer upon the condition of the oonntry, and unite upon measures tnl prii.triples which would secure the suc cess of the President’s policy by a restora tion of tho Southern rep'e-entatives in Con gress. The parties thrreforc were not North ern and Southern. There were two parties in the North, (that is the loyal States) — the Democratic, and and tho Conservative Republicans, that must bo united for the proposed political object,, before it could promise any success. To the Northern Conservatives therefore belonged the duty es calling the Convention, and prescribing its object*. The excluded Southern States j were invited into their counsels though' cannot fight the battles at the polls against our Radical opponents. They were consulted as to the platform of principles which should'givcrn the Convention, and their views wero re-pe tfully considered. All three of tho partu s concurred in the resolutions whioh are laid before the coun try as the platform of the Convention. lienee the meeting was a complete euc ceis. Tii Colserva'.ives of the States no represented in Congress are to do the w >rk of reforming Northern sentiment, and thus restoring the unrepresented States to their full rights in the Union. But what was needed from the South, an! has been obtaiued, was an assent to the principhs upon which the Conservative action was : founded. While the Radicals would say that the excluded States wero hostile to the Federal UnioD. Radicalism would prevail at the polls, in the N:rthern, Middle, and Western States, the South had an opportu nity to speak for itself vpon the highest Union and constitutional ground. The conservative movement of the loyal and represented States cannot therefore be emb irassed and b lied by the Rad'cal al'e fation that the South is at war with tha Inion, and cannot bo safely admitted to a share in the national councils. With an entire confidence in ultimate success, the Conservatives may cow appeal to the peo ple in behalf of a speedy and complete res toration of the Uuion. The admission of Southern representa tives into Congress, is the first issue to be gained by the Conservatives. Without that, nothing. This effected, the Radicals will at onco loose their two-third power in both Houses, and becomo incapable of- fur ther mischief Then also wi Ibo commenc ed, a system of commercial aud financial re form, by which the tendency of the country to ruin, will be checked. The tyranical and irritating legislation of Congress will be stopped. This, now so j r mussing, may in deed be subject to sime impediments. Worst of »U would be wbat we do not ap prehend—any tourse in tl e port ol the South that serves to afford any reasonable excuse for the continuance of their present oppressive system, and for an ultimate re sort to measures by which confiscation anl negro suffrage will be exacted by military force from the South. It will hardly be expected that every Conservative organ in the North, or every nowspaper in the South, will at once ap prove of all the Convention has done ; bm that all will ultimately unite to favor the great object of restoration. A- Needle-gun Checkmated —John Mitchel writes from Paris to the New York- News : “The needle-gun has met its match—a bullet-proof clothing for soldiers. At the Belgian‘Tir National,’ or Volunteer Shoot ing Ground, the thing was exhibited for the first time by its inveDtcr, a f M. Bernard, and in the most satisfactory manner, namely : By standing fire himself at a huudred yards having previously shown that he wore noth itg under bis cloak but a shirt and vest. A conical ballet struck him in the breast; it flattened itself and fell down at his feet; he picked it up and showed it to the specta tors. But he wonld suffer nobody to exam ine the texture of his new cloth, not hav ing yet scoured his patent. His head and face were covered with a steal cap ; and the cloak reached to the gTonnd. Such is the story that comes to us in Belgian newspa pers. re i. i:<; ka i* iiic.

Peace in Europe. London, Aug. 25. —Advices have been received to-day in offical circles here, an nouncing that a treaty of peace between tho couteuding powers of Prussia, Austria, Italy aad Bavaria’ was concluded by the Plenipotentiaries in session at Prague, on Thursday last.

(Special to the Telegraph) Savannah, Aug 28.—A patty of men calling themselves “Regulators,” and charged with hanging freedinen in Liberty county, have been arrested and brought to the city-Mayor Anderson assis:ed the mili tary in making the arrests. Tlie Soldiers’ Conveufion. We like the plan of oalliog together the soldiers of the late opposing sections. They are the men that best understand the value ot each othir, and are more apt to act har moniously togetner than the politicians who have been exohanging inky compliments at safe distances. Beside*, the brightest intel lects in the land were represented in the two armies, and the leaders on both sides have more influence with tho masses than all iittie | ismire congressmen combined. We don’t pretend to any special admiration far Grant or Sherman, but if they could meet in con sultation with Lee and Johuston, attended by their most conspicuous lieutenants in the late campaigns, we venture to say that their decision would receive considerable atten tion. There are millions of true men that would follow implicity the advice of these four great leaders; but we should be deeply mor tified if we find them capable of giving their old soldiers .ny other advice tiian to over throw the power of the radicals—at the polls. It would never do for them to tarnish their great reputations by performing any uncon. s itutional act. That would be infringing upon the rights of the radicals, who have ob tained a monopoly in that businoss. To be sure many great men have won the grati tude of their eoun rymen by taking the re sponsibility “f preserving them from anar chy ; but snch a thing is Dot wanted in tbi countryj We are so superior to any peo ple that have proceeded us that we are in no danger of being approached by the per ils that have overwhelmed (there. We have enlightened voters that know bow to preserve the country lrom anarchy, war, pestilence and famine. —Mobile Tribune The Legality of the Acts of Con gress.—lt is stated that the Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, has written a letter design ed for publication, in which he takes the bold ground that the Congress which has just edjourned, being composed of repre sentatives from only twenty-five States, could not con-tilutionally pas* an act over the President’s veto ; and that, therefore, the Freedman’s Bun.au Bill, Civil Rights Bill, and the constitutional amendment, are legal nuliiies. Mr. Ewing is one of the very few surviving statesm?n of the Jack sonian era He was a member ofthe Uni ted States Senate when Clay, Webster and their illustrious compeers were there. He was a member of President Harrison’s par ty, and all through the brightest days of the old Whig party he was one of its ablest and most faithful leaders. He is a thor ough Conservative, purely honest in bis political sentiments, and no doubt he fully believes what he says in regard to the aloresaid acts of Congress. / Cotton Crop* of Texas. The Houston Telegraph states important facts in regard to the 'excellent prosperity of Texas. Nearly as much land is planted in cotton this year as over before ; and the cotton, up to this time, is as promising as it ever was at this season. The Telegraph adds: With a good crop of cotton, with a fine crop of wheat, with a plenty of corn, with more Money in m r st of the State, especially the wheat and stock regiens, then ever before with the State overflowing with fine stock, with a rapidly increasing population, and the prospects of soon extending our railroads and our manufactures. Texas is on the high road to wea'th and prosperity which caonot now be defined or calculated. Let us thank God and take courage.
