There, too, lie cross and two common swords, such as are wore by army surgeons.

Around this long, dark, dirty room, sit the Loyal Leaguers, some black and some white, and among them some ol our most worthy citizens. There arc also not a few whose “copper” sticks out through ihe whitewash given by this Loyal League.

Surrounded with paraphernalia of humbug, we were shown also, as before said, to do even unto death all in our power to make liberty eternal, “to vote for none Inn loyal men,” &c. We were next initiated into the signs and pass*\vorus, &e. Let one suffice; but if you wish, you can have them all. to pass yourself Leaguer, when questioned, give the “Four J/s ’ —as followers: right hand raised to Heav en, thumb and third finger touching their ends over the palm, and pro nounce “Liberty.” Bringing the hand down in a line with the shoulder, pronounce “Lincoln.” Dropping the hand open at your side, pronounce “Loyal.” With your hand and fingers downward in the chest, the thumb thrust into the vest or waistband, across the body, pronounce 4 League.” There is a great deal of other “tom fooling” of the same character urn, worthy ol place here.

Gentlemen, fellow citizens, freemen —look at this mummery —this political humbug, and think that men of rank, of standing, of fine intellect and kind hearts are t sere. How c..n you account for it, in this nineteenth century ? W hat does it mean ? Has the Lord our God forsaken us? Are we a people ? Has he made us blind that our ruin may be more sure ? Leaguers and madmen, beware! Like blind Sampson, you now sit beneath the tower, not ol oppression, but of human rights. * You are madly grasping the law and the ballot box—the sure columns of liberty. If you bow yourselves as be d.d, the beautiful structure will fall, and you and your children will perish unwept under its ruins. Leaguers, beware ! A day of retribution is com ing. Blind guides leading the blind, how can you escape ! Every act of your own atul ol your leaders is calcu lated to provoke blood. You know this. Do you think to grind the Anglo- Saxon race beneath the heel of your deceived colored dupes ? You thrust them once into the fiery furnace of war to save your own children. You emancipated them as a military neces sity. As the last hope of our tottering Government to save yourselves, you and vour party laid violent hands on the “colored element,” and you say that it was all for love of that element. Let us look at Mr. Lincoln’s letter to A. G. Hodges, Esq., of Frankfort, Ky., dated April 4th, 1H64 : “1 believed the indispensable neces sity for emancipation and arming the blacks, would come. It came, and l was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or laving strong hands on the colored element and arming it. I choose the latter.” Further quotation is unnecessary, comment useless; and now, dear Leagu ers, remember, when you tell the poor freed man, that it was your love that made him free, you speak not the truth; when you tell him you gave him the right of suffrage on the same account, when ’tvvas to save yout bacon, and that you can do no more for the poor freed man, than Balaam did for the poor brute which refused to carry him. Finally, “Loyal League No. 1,” I beg leave to say to you, when you are about to turn a member out without cause, as Paul said to the jailor, “Do which merits the act of “Expulsion.” You kicked a hole in the wall, and let the world in, sure of the approbation of honest men, and regardless of all y r our threats. i am respectfully yours, William Driver. Gen. John C. Breckinridge. — This distinguished American, now in Paris, is about to leave with his family for Canada. We hope the rumor is true that Prasident Johnson has written a letter requesting Gen. Breckinridge to come home, and to lend his powerful influence in the reconstruction and con solidation of the Union. We regard John C. Breckinridge as one of the first statesmen of the world —a man of whom any nation may be proud to call him a citizan —a man whom the United States can ill afford to keep in exile. It is not true, as has been recently stated, that “General Breckinridge was a powerful advocate of secession,” On the contrary, he was opposed to seces sion, and with his ow n hand drew up the “Crittenden Resolutions,” designed to prevent si ce: s>ion. These ‘•resolu tions” would have passed and averted Ihe war but for the opposition of the Northern Radicals. We repeat this statement simply as a fact in history. Regretting, as we most sincerely do, to part with so noble a friend, we are glad to announce the return of Gen. Breckinridge to America, and we hope soon to hear that he has not only ar rived in Canada, but that he is restored to his “old Kentucky Home,” and to the thousands of warm hearts that are anxiously waiting to welcome him. John C. Breckinridge, who, as Vice President of the United Stales, presided so acceptably for four years over the Federal States, and who subsequently did and suffered so much for the inde pendence of the Southern people, is still in the prime of life, and, as we believe, with a brilliant future before him. During bis exile in Europe he has received the highest honors from the very highest classes of people, botli of England and France, and in all cir cles, social, political and diplomatic, his very presence has called foi the most flattering compliments to his native country that produced so fine a specimen of manhood. Our parting w ord for Breckinridge shall be address ed to the “All hail hereafter!” — Lon don Cosmopolitan. Dispatches have been received from United States officers on the Mexican border, giving accounts of the deplora ble condition of affairs there. They stale that since the fall of Maximilian j the conduct of the Mexicans has been overbearing, and that insult to the U- j iiiteti States flag by Mexican officials is in even dav occurrence. Express. SAM’L 1L SMITH and Editors and Proprietors. Cartersville fla, July If). More Filibustering. It seems, from all accounts, that another Filibustering expedition is fit ting out. upon an extensive scale, in the city of New York, with a view, it is said, of displacing Juarez ; and sub sequently installing Ortega, as the permanent President of Mexico. Now that Maximilian has been disposed of, another war is about to be, if not al ready, iuaugerated between factions even among the Liberals. One faction to be headed by Juarez, the party now in power, and the other by Ortega, who claims, wo believe, to bo the rightful heir to the chief magistracy of that Republic. Thii is done, it is hinted, for some ulterior purpose in which “Uncle Sam” has an interest, judging from the following “scrap" which w-e find floating around in the papers of recent date : “It is stated that a formidable filli buster organization exists in New Y ork city, with ramifications at New Or leans, having for its purpose an invasion of Mexico, »viP> a view to the displace ment of Juarez by Ortega, in order to advance certain ulterior schemes look ing to the endorsement by this Gov ernment of some £25.000,000 or £30,000,000 Mexican bonds. It appears that, in Mexico, one great cricis, only gives way to another of moregigantic proportions, which proves the incapacity of that hybrid race of people to govern themselves. How could it be otherwise w ith a mongrel set of Indians, negroes, and Spaniards, none of whom have the least distant idea of the liberties of a freeman, or ol what constitutes a Republican Govern ment. As well might so many striped hyenas undertake to bring order out of confusion, as for the present population of Mexico to undertake to establish a stable Government, founded upon the nrincinles of “ius<L*<\i,wl mn-i ivugubu iaw can exist a day among a people possessing such bloou-thirsty and rulc-or-ruin-principles as these Mexican people have ever evinced since they emerged from beneath the yoke of monarehial oppression. It would be a god-send to that country if some great man who is aecquainted with the principles of republican government, would rise up and place himself at the helm of the ship of State and direct it to a port of peace and security. There is no peace nor security for a citizen of I that mock republic, as it is, ncr likely I to be, as long as Mexicans rule Mexi co. It is a burlesque upon republican ! Governments, and it would be far bet- I ter for the future peace and prosperity of that country that it should be placed under the'‘direction of the one man power or that they get someone to run the rnacheen who is acquainted with the kind of government they are trying to mimic. But from present indications, it would seem that, in regard to Mexi co, somebody intends to make a spoon or spoil a horn , if the following proc lamation signitiss anything: — New Orleans, July 13. —The fol lowing proclamation is being circultat ed on the Rio Grande border: Ameri cans, shall a civilized people of a great nation stand passive and by their silence assent to the most barbarous act of the 19th century —the butchery in cold blood, by a mongrel race of God-for saken wretches, of a man, who, by treachery. became a prisoner of war? For what else was Maximilian but a prisoner of war? He was certainly not a fillibuster. He would not become Emperor until a large and powerful delegation of the representatives of the Mexican government waited on him in Europe and pressed his acceptance of the Mexican crown, which he only ac cepted after much reluctance. History teaches that the Mexican people, for nearly half a century, have been in capable of self-government, while Max imilian has shown to the world that he was the best ruler they ever had. and was doing all that a wise man could do to develope the resources of that country until betrayed by a Judas Iscariot, in whom he had trusted. — Maximilian was one of nature’s noble men. because lie was an educated gentleman, and ail his acts were hightoned and chivalrous, and becoming the brother of an Emperor. He was a brave man, and died as a brave man should die, but his life was the most i beautiful pearl, sacrificed to beastly avarice. The civilized world will honor a lid revere his memory for his j massv virtues, for ages to ceiiic, whfic j ii will -brink with hori;or and uetesta- j ’ tion from the perpetrations of this most I ! dastardly outrage of- modern" history. Americans, the blood lr-un ’ Escobedo has insolently uni defiantly declared to the world that before closing his military career he hopes to £ee the blood ol every foreigner shed that resides in his country. Shall this lie? Out with this foul blut that stains the American continent. I.Pt us meet in our strength, that we may give public t expression to our indignation, and lei it fall on those who, in this era of the Christian world, are morally responsible lor the death of Maximilian, yea, even though it fall upon a Secretary of State, whose little boll, alas! did not tinkle to save the life of one of the best men that ever lived. Honor to whom honor is due, but let justice be done, though the heavens should 1 ill. A Native of New York. The Last Blow. —Not content to await the result of the elections, it will be seen that the House has amen ded the Senate bill by requiring State officers to take the iron-clad. Senate agrees, says the Macon Telegraph, nine-tenths of the State officers in the South, from the govenors down, will be driven from office, and their places filled by radical appointees. As there isjio resisting these outrages, we can only say, “lay on, Macduff.” The more violent the storm, the sooner it will end. The Reconstruction Bill ha3 passed both Houses of Congress, and been sent to the President, who will probably veto it, and then it will, it is asserted, be passed over his head. This bill is a modification of ibe House bill, as published in this paper of the 12th. It is thought that just as soon as the President sends in his veto of the re cent supplemental bill passed by Con" gress, that body will pass it over his veto and then adjourn. General Thomas. The Nashville Banner has it from the most undoubted authority, that Gen. Geo. H. Thomas expressed himself in strong disapprobation of the entire militia system set on foot by Brown low, as tending to foment discoid, be get strife, and needless bloodshed, and keep the country in constant turmoil and excitement. Filibustering. — 'l he Washington correspondent of the h ew York Herald sends to that journal the full details of a plot to overrun Mexico which he has recently discovered. He s, ‘ !Ar * tire movement was gotton up at the White House, and, of course, the President and Secretary Seward are ihe chief manipulators. The Herald is nothing if not sensational. fi@*There is said to be butlitte con fidenc between those two noted Mexi can radicals Juarez and Escobedo, the former being fearful that the latter will, on the first favorable opperlunity, be tray him. Tlie President’s veto. "Washington, July 14. -It is expected that the Presidents veto of the Supple mental Reconstruction Bill will be sent in Thursday, when Congress, after pass ing the bill over it, will adjourn. France has lost nearly £70,000,000 by ilie Mexican affair, and citizens who engaged in business in Mexico on the faith of the Empire lost §50,000,000 more. The following notice, cut from a New England paper, is suggestive, if not odorous; “Wanted —An American or French youth, 16 or 17 years of age. to travel with a young colored man to Europe. Terms—§lß per month and board and traveling expenses. None need apply unless parents are willing. For reference, refer to Mr. John B. Gough Esq., Hillside, Mass., and address W. A. T. Smith, 50 Charles street, New Haven Conn. Religious Excitement in Flori da. We learn from our Florida exchanges that large and protracted revival meet* ings are being held at the different churches at Quincy. Tallahassee, Mon ticello, Madison and Lake city. The remarkable and increaseing interest on the subject of religion is said to be un precedented. Austrian officers, who arri ved at New Orleans from Vera Cruz, go to Havana and will remain there until they have an oppertuuity to join some Mexican Chief at enmity with Juarez, to avenge Maximilian’s murder. They anticipate some powerful auli-Juarez man will soon be developed. Blount County, Tennessee, has been disfranchised by Brovvniow. Blount was formerly radical, is now conserva livc and hence the di~ftanchiseiuent. [tfcm the Loudon Cosmopolitan.] The SaMe America. The “irrepressible nigger” hits not only become a bye-word in the United States, but a very troublesome fact. These transplanted sorts of Africa, whom the Creator lias clothed in per petual mourning (some think as a mark of punishment tor the sin of Cain, but we believe as a coat of mail to rt sist the arrows ol a vertical sun), having recently been made “free men” in America, have become a burthen to themselves and an obstacle to the State. We have no objection to giving the privilege of the franchise to a negro, provided he has the same qualifications that are imposed on the white man.— The color of his skin should be no bar to citizenship. But universal suffrage for either whit? or black is more than anv populous Republic can bear ; and therefore we would resiriotthe franchise in all countries to men qualified by certain conditions —age. property, ed ucation, and innocence of lelony. — This is just and It-ir, and leaves the path of political promotion and honor equally free and open to all. The United States in allowing over} male of the age of twenty-one —black or white —to vote, is venturing on a dan gerous experiment. The radicals pro pose to go still further, and with Stuart Mill and other “advanced tinkers'" in the British House of Commons, are now agitating the question of striking the word “male” as well as the word “white” from the Constitution. Under the new regime it will be among the political posibilities to elect a negro President and a woman Vice Presi dent —to send both negroes and women to the State Legislatures, or to Con gress —to place them on the benches of the Judiciary, or to send them abroad as foreign ministers. We do not pre sume to write history in advance, but we venture 10 put on record our belief that no government can long endure upon so precarious a foundation as that ol universal suffrage. Ignorance, vice, and poverty have no right to a voice in the councils of nations. Out of the four or five millions of negroes in the United States we do not believe there are ten thousand who deserve to be rewarded with the sacred privilege of voting for legislators or for rulers. When they have learned to read and write, and by industry have acquired property on which they pay taxes, by all means let them vote ; but not other wise. The negrophilists may senti mentalize, as much as they please about the negro, and call him “a man and a brother,” we deny that the African race is equal to the English race; and Mr. Philosopher Huxley, to the con trary notwithstanding, we most dis tinctly assert the inferiority of the Ethiopian black man to the European white man. There is a radical differ ence in the organism of the two races extending from head to heel. Mr, Huxley says the heel ol the negro does O/O L_j.:..o. vre say u does. The conformation of the African’s loot is peculiar. lie has no instep. And, to quote bis own popular burlesque— When he walk de woods around, De hollow ob his foot make a holeinde ground. Mr. Huxley denies that the skill! of the negro essentially differs from that of the white man. We insist that it differs very widely loth in form and in structure. In recommending his “colored brother” to the fastidious embrace of white men, he says the negro does not smell half as bad as has been represented ; and that the pe culiar “odoi of nationality,” so offen sive to polite noses, is not caused by the color of the skin, but by the filthi ness of the skin. We admit theie is much truth in this. The body servants of the South, whose masters and mistresses compel them to bathe every day, have very little of the rank odor wmch makes the presence of an un washed negro on a hot day as unbear able as the odor of a skunk. And yet there' is a peculiar smell about the African,in his best condition, which is beyond the power of soap and water to eradicate. The negroes themselves recognize their own fragrance, and glory in it, as in the following popular lines, sung on the plantations in mid night “revival meetings” to the pious and plaintive tune of the “Old llun> dredth : De Lord l o lub de nigger well, He know de nigger by de smell. Asa general rule they are to lazy to I wash themselves, which, of course, greatly aggravates their inherent odors. As the Dutch girl said to her mistress, when scolded for her dirty feet, “You should shine!! zern in ze summer time;” so we say to Mr. Huxley, and his brother and sister negrophilists. Go among a crowd of unwashed negroes, when the thermometor touches one hundred and twenty degrees—and “smeil ’em in the summer lime.” The strongest advocate of miscegenation would be overcome by a “knock down argument”—a blow on the nose. A.nd these are the “fellow-citizens” upon whom Radicalism, under the lead of such demagogues as Thad. Stevens— who by the way is a practical amalga mationist—has conferred the privilege of voting on affairs of State, and of deciding, perhaps, by the brute force of numbers, on the men, and the prir.cples that are to govern the Repub lic. We have no ill-will against the negro. On the contrary, we like him much —but we like him in his place, and, with rare exceptions, his place in America is subordinate to the white man. He is a good servant, but a bad master, and worst of all a - ? a master to , himself. We saw a black man the ! other day veiy much out ol place. A •■big buck nigger,” black as the ace of spades, was seated in a lirsl-class rail ; way carriage making love to a very • pretty white woman whom he was escorting to the Crystal Palace. But it was the woman that disgusted us more than her wooly headed suitor. No doubt, after being seated by a career of conquests, the lady in the case took a fancy to “carry the war into Africa.” If white and black choose to make love to each other in the dark, that is their i business; but to exhibit their unnatural amours in open daylight is “positively shocking.” The sudden emancipation of the negroes in America was a peril ous experiment— most perilous to the ne groes themselves. To raise them at once to political equality with the: whites involves greater danger still.- The result will be, sooner or later, a war between the races, when the black man, like the red man, must finally disappear.
