The necessity for a Koa through the portion of country it i? contemplated to build this one, is : ► trading universal attention ; Ihe con* sequence is that if the people of Car terfcviHe do not at once take steps in the matter, other towns and cities will do so with a view W» the arivan'ages in cident to their enterprise. That can not fail to he a great an 1 an insuperable injury to Cartersville. Suppose this matter he taken in hand by either Ma rietta or Atlanta, and a Road be built from either of these points *1 rough the Cedar vallev and on into Alabama, the effect upon Csrtersville will he sunn hut too soon, but, at the same time, too late for anv good to u«. It may as well he at once conceded as a fad that a Railroad from someone of the p tints named, in the direction of Ce day Valley w ill he built. It is thru tor the people of Caitciavills to deter mine whether itiiro.be built from here, or elsewhere. Sell preservation is the tint law of nature, and if that has any force with ns. Id us subscribe nur quota oi the Stock that the con. tract may he let out. and an end put to the enterprise* contemplated by rival towns and cities. Mould it not he well for thr* citizens to have a meeting an I take this whole matter into consid eration ? 0«r Condition - Past. Pres ent ttail Future. While we are oppos-d to digging in the grave of the past, where lies buried *-i much history of the evils of civil war, the rehearsal of which is calcu lated to prevent peace and quiet being restored to our bind ; \d, some al!u siou to it, by way of showing that the • rite adage *• liist.iry repeats itself.” is literally true, may not he amiss. We in n read the history o f Roman Repnb- ; lie, where will he found parallel easts as regards the past history of pur cun once happv land —no* as regards the ado sos the scene, hut true to the b l ler in the principles involved. Those win* are familiar with Plutarch s wri tings will remember that .in the: case of one of their conquered provinces, the conditions of peace were, that certain prominent ntetrshould he given up. that ■j garrison should b- receive*! in Muni cilia, nnd that the province should pay the expense? of the war. And while we rejer to litis, vve should also look to the means pursued, by which peace and good will was restored in those an ••■Hiit limes, and rest well assured that a Tke course will produce like results. Tire foliv of the powers that !>e. in pursuing a course opposed to all ho rn-r precedents in l h*» history of in lion*. is v*rv apparent, and ran only he a-counteiJ for by that classic phrase in ii«i* bv the ancient* ; ••Whom the would destroy, they first make tni i.” While we look t«* the past his miv nf nations for instruction, we endeavor to avoid the shoals *ml quicksand* on which they have *i»ht. and been swallowed up, and hope that the dav is far distant, when the wretched remains o| all that ra great in Literature.

JItSTITIA. . V PU I HeTW I'.KN TIIK I‘RESiDK.Vr AXP Secret*ry McC'i 1-i.ocn. A special 1 dispatch from Washington to the Louis villi* Journal says : I am enabled to state, on which 1 be lieve to he undoubted authority, that the President a ltd Secretary McCull och have had a violent altercation, — ll came to the ears of the President, j : n a shape which was entirely authen-i tic, that during the impeachment trial the Secretary of the Treasury marie direct overtures to old lien. Made, with whom a perfect understanding was reached. President Johnson brought the matter to McCulloch's at tention, and McCulloch not respond ing very satisfactorily, the President crew more positive, ami finally the two qunrr* led outright. In this quarrel the President was very violent, lie told McCulloch that he (Johnson) had been deceived hv half the members of hi? Cabinet, who had been from the first courting hi? enemies and betraying fiisii, McCulloch was not very cour ageous in his replies and tried to evade the issue. It is believed by those who are privy to th« affair that it will result in the speedy resignation of McCulloch This will he hailed with delight by the Democrats. They regard McCulloch as the most dang* rous Radical in the Cabinet. He is in thorough accord with Grant ami will go any length in order to procure Lis election. '1 he President i? now convinced that it is wisdom, as well as duty, to gel rid of hi in. tisotlior Outrage*. 'The propip of the North will t roiia h>v never kr.ow. as they cannot fully realize, all the frightful ami inhuman tortures iuflii ted upon the Souih at the hand? of military satrap?. Our atten tion has been railed to a ease quite as flagrant a? that of tlts Columbus prisoner?. It seem? that about six weeks ago a Federal soldier was killed at Warren ton. in tliis? State, No clue, so far as we can ascertain, has vet been afford ed to detect the perpetrator of this vio lence. Hut the military authorities— those fine gentlemen sent here to pre serve order and protect the innocent assumed lull knowledge of the case, nnd without cognizance of law and without the feeble show of affidavit from any party or parlies whatsoever, arrested a peaceful and inoffensive eil izen of Warr.-nton by the name of Co dv. ’This gentleman was hustled off to Milledgeville with manacles on his ankles and wrists. M ilt- thus chain ed and in a dungeon, he was brutally attacked hv lour or five soldiers, who had been imprisoned in the same apart meni for Itival misdemeanors. 'These soldiers si t upon him because they ihTmed hiiu t«> be the slave r of one ol their eomradis. As their superiors did not give the unfortunate man a chance to exculpate himself, neither did these base underlings allow him the charity of a doubt. One of them kicked him in ti.e mou h. leaving a bidtous gash upon lii? lip, and Mr. Co dv was ft it ai I v saved from fatal con sequences through the rescue of a ser., ■ geant of t tie guard. A military cmnmix*ion was tl on dcs | ignated for his Iriai at Milledgeville. •and one dm/'s notice given of the time * to Mr. Cody’seonnsol. Upon repairing to Milledgeville, the counsel was in formed that tin; ordt r of trial had been revoked and Atlanta substituted for Milledgeville. 'The trial took place one hundred * and iwent} miles trim the residence of tl.t prisoner, and occupied twenty one dues, du'iug wf ich time Mr. Cody was marched trnm hi* cell to the court chained like a felon at his tinkles and i wlist*. Now mark the sequel.

Ttat* W tor at C rop. This is destined, it would ?ecm, to be an exceedingly interesting year in iht* gram business, and, therefore, all indications of the coming harvest de serve the careful attention of the news gatherer. A plentiful yield will go far to relieve the burdens of taxation, and ameliorate faulty legislation in a score of oilier particular?, and to that extent secure peace, confidence and industrial energy to the peoble, Bountiful nature has more w indent than legislation can command in healing dimensions and in inaugurating a reign ol harmony among men, The reciprocal relations which exi-t between the different departments of industry are better sustained when agriculture is successful and the divine forces of order, under such favorable circumstances, essert their influence with increased power. With tiie prospect from the Gulf to the L ikes the public have been regular ly advised from seed time to lire pres ent moment. The reaper, when the fields have ripened, has found a full realization of the hope of the farmer; end as the season marches onward to the Ninth, the wetther attends with un abated propiliousness. In California —to which region our attention is directed with increased in terest from year to year— the crop of wheat will likely prove enormous. A month ago its estimated amount was twenty million bushels, a sum almost too large, n was supposed, to meet the credence of the nio.U sanguine. But recent statements show that the esti mates is not beyond the limit of possi bility, at least, heavy as it is, Com mercial circulars of the 30th ult. inform us that the growing grain in Santa Clara county is most promising for an im mense crop, anil that it is almost tin possible to find a poor field anywhere, in consequence of timely rains the iiill lands and the gravelly portions of the valley, usually most affected by dry weather- promise the most productive yield. On the Salinas Plains, among a hundred others, one continuous field fifteen miles in length, is mentioned that will give twenty sacks to the acre and similar result? are heralded by the local press wherever agricultural ope rations extend. The harvest \ ear in that State i» from the last ol June to the first of Ju ly, to which time their annual exposi tions ol the trade are confined. Antic ipating the supplies of June, the latest review states the business of the year in San Francisco, or the joint receipts of flour and wheat from the interior, at 5 600,000 centals of wheat, or nine and one third million bushels. The ex ports for the same period were 234,291 barrel? flour and 3,764,7L0 centals wheat. The crop at the date mentioned was so far exhausted that city millers found it difficult to procure needed supplies for the accommodation c 1 their customer? ; and so consumption will immediately commence on their new crop there as well as here. From Europe the latest circulars speak of the prospects of the harvest in the most hopeful tone. The English climate is not to be depended upon for wheat culture generally, but this season it ha? been peculiarly uniform in tem perature and rain visitations—so much so, S3 to effect prices by inducing a greater caution on the part of purchas ers. England, however, i? always a liberal buyer of breadstuff's from other nations. Last season she patronized California very extensively, and, from indications already developed, she evi dently intends to continue her trade m that direction. There is a much lar ger amount of tonnage afloat for San Francisco this ye; r than last, principal ly Brinish bottoms, with the object of engaging in grain transportation, and this amount will likely be enlarged by the liberation ol the fleet lately em ployed in the Abyssinian expedition. Freight charges may likely undergo a rediii lion in consequence, and in this way an* increased propulsion may be given to the business. By telegraphic correspondence, just received, we learn that the first san»pie of new whf at, present crop, were on •Change in San Francisco last Weilnes day. The quality is pronounced most excellent. The harvest period there i? about the san e as it is with us. The harvesting ol wheat is nearly over in the Northern section of the State. The weather has been favor able and the crop is ny.v safe. We be lieve that over ,iit average crop has been made. *W e don’t know win* the Radicals will nominate, at and wc don’t care.— The unhappy wretch will tuver wear Fri-siJcmiul vob< Sv” The .flute Defective. “No dogs admitted, sir,” said tire tnrler to a gay assemblage, as a young nan and hi? dog appeared at the ert- i ranee. ••You must leave him behind, if you S° “Very well. ’ said the young man " r ■•stay about here, Prince, till I come J back.” And he joined the crowd within. By and by llie* voting man wished to refer to his watch, when, behold ! the valuable time-piece was gone, lie considered the ca?e a mome.it, and then a sudden thought flashed through his mind. So, stepping out, he whis pered the fact to the porter, and gain ed permission to take his dog in tor a j minute or two. “Look here, Prince,” said he, “you knowing dog, my watch is stolen,” and he showed him the empty pocket and cut chain. “Do you understand, old fellow ! In there, sir, is the thief. You find it, my good doggie, and l’l get you a famous-treat. You under stand, do you?” Prince wagged his tail, ard gave his master a very knowing and cute look, ami then the two, stole quietly into the place. Quietly the dumb de tective glided around among the peo ple, smelling away at this one’? coat and that one’s chain, until at last he set his teeth firmly into the coat skirl ol a genteel looking man, and could not be shaken off. The young man quietly made known the ease to live bystanders, who had gathered around him, and had the thief’s pocket duly searched. Six other watches were found upon him, which lie had gathered tip in the course of the morning, and which the rightful owners were glad to get their hands on. Prince selected out iii? master’s property in a twinkling, as that was all he cared for, and save it to him joyfully. It would have taken :> very keen policeman to do the work so neatly and quickly, and all agreed that he merited as good a dinner as a dog could have. A good beef bone and a bowl of milk, however, abundantly satisfied all his wants, and then he was just as ready to do the same favor over again. State Sews.

A correspondent of the Macon Daily Telegraph suggests the name of Col. \V. F, Hall tor Speaker of the House of Representatives, and stales, from his own knowledge, that, Col. Hall does not belong to the Radical party, al though claimed by them. It is reported on good authority and generally believed that as soon as the Omnibus Bill becomes a law, Bullock will issue a proclamation convening the Legislature on the 4ih of July, to "put the machinery of civil government in operation once more.

A Bad Affair. —A s?d affray occur red at DaJeville on the 25th inst which resulted in the severe cutting of James B McDonald, Esq., the well known Solictor ol that Judicial Circuit. There was a Masonic demonstration on the 24th, and Mr. McDonald, who lives in Tuskegee, was the orator of the occa sion, At night there was a dancing party and it i? supposed that something ibel occurred there caused a difficulty next morning, in which two or three were engaged against McDonald. (The full particulars we do not know). The result was. that McDonald’? throat was cut almost from ear to ear. In at* tempting to use his pistol he shot him self. also, in one hand. Mr. McDon ald is well known all over the State, as a clever and talented gentleman, and his fiieitds will be glad to bear that he is considered out of danger, and will likely be well very soon. [Montgomery Adv , 28f h A Day's work for the l*res lileut. Thursday last, says the New York Herald, “in consequence oi the mar riage festival of Senator Henderson, was a sort of official holiday in Wash ington, and yet on that day “Andy Johnson” saw the members of his Cabinet, discharged the usual routine business of the morning, entertained a number of office-seekers, inclui’ng members of both House?, and some squ ids of democratic politicians on the subject of the democratic candidate tor the succession , made out and sent up a budget of nominations to the Sen ate, including Collector Smythe (an excellent man) as Minister to Austria ; wrote out and sent to the House a veto on the Omnibus Restoration bjll, attended the wedding of Senator Hen derson, and then, alter the passage of the vetoed bill over the veto, had a conference with the Secretary of War on the subject, and then proceeded to arrange the budget of business for the next morning.

After having been confined for weeks in narrow cells, in weather oppressive ly hot even in well ventilated rooms after having keen treated like felons, ar.d taken from their families and hu* siness—this is all the reparation that is made to them. Wa suppose that they do not even know who were their accusers (if they had any,) or what was the precise nature of the charges agaimt them. Arbitrary power ar rested them and held them as long as it saw fit, and then released them at its pleasure, wi.h no remedy for the wrongs that they have received, and even w no manly announcement to the world that they have been cruelly and unjustly dealt with ! If the American people do not, when they have the op portunity at the ballot.box, administer suclt a rebuke to the head ol this mili tary despotism as w*ll be a memora ble warning to tyrants in all our future history, they will be deserving of the manacles that will be imposed on them next, without regard to section.

The Cotton Croi\ We lay before our readers (ssyg the tlie Savannah Republican) the follow*, ing interesting extract from a letter from an intelligent planter in South western (-'a. “You merchants all go upon the general stimulation ol price, and say as much will be made as last year, This shows great want of reflection, and ig norance of the actual condition of things in the country, it presupposes every planter backed by an unlimited supply ofliie mtaiis ami material necessary to make cotton, &c. The planter may want ever so much to make cotton, but in the first place, be thinks of cot ton last year, and remembers how he was caught, and a sad experience warns him to be cautious. In the next place, prudent or not, he knows lie has not and cannot get the needful (or this •excess of cotton to be put in.’ “Now to know something—take my own case—bad 1 been ever so much disposed, I could not after the first of February have planted one single acre more than originally intended in cot ton. and why ? because the labor could not be had. “1 have observed a great deal this season, and must tell you that the peo ple are paying moro attention to corn and hogs —are planting much less cot” tup ; that as a general thing the crops do not look well, the cotton particular ly, having been injured by the excess, ivs rains; though hoi the case with me, as 1 planted late.
