General S.eedmsn made a speech at
Toledo, Giro, on Monday night last,
from which we make the subjoined ex
tracts. After showing that the Presi
dent was carrying out the policy of
Mr Lincoln, and of true restoration of
peace nnd the Union, ho proceeded.
For doing that, they propose to im
peach Andrew Johnson, and remove
him irnm office, and put one of their
own men in bis place. Well, now, I
don’t want to tight with anybody. 1
have had fighting enough mysell, and
1 suppose you have. tStill 1 have no
objection to a little fighting, if the men
who did not fight in the last war,
ch ose to have a little shindy among
themselves. We wi l hold their hats; I
but it they suppose tlio American peo-1
pie will quietly look on while a faction ■
deposes the President of the United i
States, and takes posession of the Gov
ernment w ith an armed mob, I say to!
| them here that they are mistaken, j
[Cheers.J And they had better not
attempt it. [Applause ] For, while
we do not want any trouble, while wo 1
prefer peace - not a painted peace, but
a real bona Jvlc peace—while we do
; not want to discuss war with anybody,
|if Mr. Ashley supposes that by oom
; irig'bcre ond throw ing Lis head back,

lie i« laboring to restnr i peace and I
harmony to the country, and to main
tain di" Government, as .ve ourselves
ecu'ended we had left it when the war
end. 1. We hold that ti e Govern
ment has preserved it—that it needed
no political doctrine to be r.pp'iod to
it—that when the army was dischnrg- J
pd the Union was preserved, [Ap-!
plaUse,! and 0,1 that was necessary was j
for loyal men to put the machinery of!
government in motion. These tStato
governments in tiro South, that were,
obstructed by the presenco <>f the rm;-
itary, were they, ready for the people!
to resume their work under them, and !
to put the machinery in mo ion, just as
it was before the war; or else, it that
were not so, then indeed ’.tie war was
a failure—then, indeed, the rebellion
was a success. If the rebels succeed
ed in destroying the Government, of
the Suites, the rebellion was a success,
and the war was a failure, and every
man here ought to have voted for the
Chicagi platform.
Now, I do not believe it is the in
tention of the people of th’s country—
‘.he masses who are follow ing the lead
of these fiery men—to engage in any
such unholy work as attempting to
take possession of the Government. 1
know that distinguished Aiassnchu
set's General Benjamin F. Butler,
[laughter,] says he is going to march
from Massachusetts to Washington
with lib militia. Well, now, he didn’t
hurt anybody during Iho war, and l
have no idea that he will hurt anybody
now. [Laughter ] I have searched
' that gentleman's military record in
vain tc find a place where he led a col
umn lie never did load it anywhere.
Perhaps he thinks, as he didn’t make
any reputation in the last war, it is!
rc es-ary for him to get up another!
in order to redeem himself. [Laugh-'
ter.] No d'.ubt General Butler had a 1
good many fierce people to deal with
during the war; no doubt ho was pro
voked a go'al deal during hie admin
istration at New Orica.’ s, and goaded
to say a great many things that do not
look well on paper.
1 do not like to comment on any
thing done by a Union General, but I
am bound to say how that, throughout
the war, General Butler was remar k
aiile only for his severity to women ami
children. [Cries of “Spoons!”] lie
was very fierce to defenceless peop'e.
That required no courage. People
who were within our iin s, and whose
protectors were gone—he was very
harsh to them It is true, tl eir pro
tectors had no right to go, and they
deserved, perhaps, all they got—but
no brave man would take an advan
t'lgo of that kind against women and
childre.—and G neral Butler is the
only man that ecr did it. I under
stand that ho complimented me in his
speech to day, lie says ho approves
some things I slid. lie approves of
my proposition to give the negroes the
ballot, who had fought, as well as I
had. AYell I can’t return the compli
ment about the fighting, for every ne
gro that I saw in the army fought bet
ter than Butler did. [Cheers.J I was
willing to aid negroes then, but l have
never seen the lime that l would nave
voted to give the negro three hundr and
dollars bounty, anil the white in in on

New Regulations for Weigino and
Marking Cotton. —“ The Commission
er of Internal Revenue, with the approv
al of the Secretary of the Treasury,
(says the Mootgomry Advertiser,) has
just issu 'd additional regulations con
cerning the weighing and marking of
eutt m, in which he states that since the
publication of former regulations on that
subject it has been determined to pro
vide a metalic fog to be us< and by the As
sessors, or uncPr his over igV, at the
time the eoth n isfrM weighed, in place
of the ‘tax paid’ tag heretofore used and
also to appoint weighers of cotton in
certain Idealities. Consequently the
aforesaid regulations have been modified
in s vcral mjutn t jcrticulars, to
vtlieh the attention of assessors
and collectors, directed. The appoint
inert? of weighers ( f cotton will bo made
under the authority col for, usd by section
8 of the act of July 13, 18G6, upon the
Secretary, who will appoint, on the re
commendation of the assessors of the
respective districts, suitable persons to
Weigh and mark cotton, at those du.-ig
uatel places for weighing where the
quantity of cotton and amount of labor
may be at great that the as i *ant asses
sors, located at such places, eauriot read
ily and promptly perform the work re
quired.
‘‘The fee for weighing anl marking
cotton, including the labor of inserting
the metalic lag, will be fifteen cents per
bale until otherwise ordered ”
The Macon and Brunswick Rail- J
road —Tne Brunswick Courier in-'
forms us that the muni ipa! authoritiis'
of that place, with the expressed con
sent of the people, have increased their 1
subscriptions to the capital stick of the
R oad to three hundred thousand debars.
The President, Mr. Hnalehurst aisured
the citizens that with that large
additional amount of stock, he thought
1 there oouid be no difficulty in making
arrangements for tho purchase of tbe
I iron and the layingof the track—the
grading being almost completed, and a
, matter of minor importance. The Cou-,
1 rier says five hundred thousand would
1 have been subscribed quite as readily if
that amount had boea called for.

to avoid auy misunderstanding on the

rED -Among other terri 1-s things with
vbicii t o President istbreatned by the
IVa-lb:;:! . i, ti e following that appears
in the ‘..'hien-.'i Tribune. The wiiter is
ta'Li.ig ab utawar which is to follow
cert; i,i coming-noils, and ssys :
It will be a war in which there will be
a fugitive President, followed by the ex
ecrations of a betrayed and outraged
people. There will be a war iu which
this second trcusau will be made as
oilius as i ver he wished the first to be
made. There will be a war iu which
the apostate traitor, styling himself
Dictator, will become an object of na
tFinal scorn duiiog the last hours of
his miserable existence, and finally, in
his exeeut on, furnish an example for
nil coming time, ol the fate which trai
tors and usurpers may expect at toe
hands of a free people, devoted to their
liberties.
A Scene on the Prairies. —A cor
respondent crossing the Western plains
sends tho following from his diary :
“To-day wo pasied a lame ox, turned
adr ft to shift for its .If by some passing
train. A floating bit of wood in mid
ocean could baldly have b-'oa more
bople-ly lost. Not far from the poor
beast, I discovered a large white wolf
tirigbtened at our appr ach, sneaking off
through the grass. The rascal will be
back soon, with a comrade or two, and
then, we betide the poor ox. Thoy’il
follow aud hurrass him for a time to as
cirUin his speed and strength, and then
gradually getting bolder with his heav
iness, some will rush upon him in front
while others ham string him from be
hind, aud then there is a tearing of
flesh, a snapping ol wolfish jaws, a
licking of bloody lips.

A Word. —We notice articles fre

encourage people to leave the South

think we have a pretty eorrcct view of
the situation and prospect, and while
they are not particularly inviting or en
couraging wo dent know what better
oar people could do than remain whero
they are, and fight out the battle of
life on this line. There never was a
period when the South had strong*)
claims upon her children, or when she
bad a better right to expect their devot

mouts of industry aud labor, to say
nothing of o her interests, which
should especially c-Dgage their combin
