Important Letter from Gen.
Hancock.
Louisville. July 17.
The Louisville Courier publishes,
the following letter from Gen. Hancock,
in reply to some queries made by Hon.
C. T. Glover, of St. Louis:
Newport, It. 1., July 17,1868.
MV Q • • St. Louis. Mo:
for your favor of the 13;h inst." "YffffjW
who suppose that I do not acquiesce in
the work ot the National Democratic
CotivenPon, or that I do not sincerely
desire the election of its nominees,
know very little of my character. Be
lie ing. as I verily do, that the preser
vation of Constitutional Government
eminently depends on the success of
tho Democratic party in the coming
election, were I to hesitate in its cor
dial support I feel that l should r.o!
only falsify my own record, but com
mit a crime against mv country. I
never aspired to the Presidency on ac*
count of myself. I never sought its
doubtful honors and labors and respon
sibilities merely for the position. My
own wish was to promote, if l could,
the good of the country, and to rebuke
the spirit of revolution which has inva
ded every saered precinct of liberty.
W hen, therefore, j’ou pronounced the
statements in question false you did
exactly right.
Principles, and not men, is the motto
for the rugged crisis in which we are
struggling. Had 1 been made the Pres
idential nominee, I should have consol
eied it a tribute, not to me, but to the
principle which 1 had proclaimed ard
practiced. But shall I care to revive
those principles because by the mutual
political friends another lias been ap
pointed to put them into execution? —
Never! never! These, sir, are my
sentiments, whatever interested parties
may say to the contrary, and 1 desire
that all may know and understand that.
1 shall ever hold in grateful remem
branc the faithful friends who, hailing
from everv section of the Union, pre
ferred me bv their votes, and other ex*
piessions of confidence, both in and
out of the Convention, and shall, do
them all the justice to believe that they
were ail governed by patriotic motives;
that they did not propose simply to
aggrandize my personal fortune to save
their country through me ; that they
will not now suffer anything like per
sona! preferences or jealousies to stand
between them and their manifest duty.
I.iiave ihe honor to be. dear 9ir,
Very respectfully yours,
Winfield S. Hancock.
The Reaction—Deserting a
Sinking Ship.
The following communication da ed
Grand Junction. Tennessee, July ‘4O,
is addressed to the Memphis Ava
lanche :
1 am happy to be able to announce
to the readers of the Avalanche, that
the most prominent leader of the Radi
cal party in this vicinity, and one* of
the most prominent in West Tennessee,
has signified his intention of henceforth
acting with the Conservative or Dem
ocratic party. I allude to the Rev. N.
A. 1). Bryant, a Methodist minister,
the Registrar of the county, and one of
our oldest citizens.
Nor is Mr. Bryant alone in his de
fection trom the Radical ranks. I hear
every day of many signal changes, in
various directions, in both West Ten
nessee and North Mississippi. Infant
nnnt if not most of those in the latter
State who suffered their' names to be
run on the Radical ticket in the recent
elections therefor various offiers, rang
ing Irom county Representatives tip to
rx
have oonre o»t and announc
ed that they intend hereafter to art
with the National Democratic party.
In fact some of them have published
cards disclaiming that they were ever
Radicals in the proper sense of that
disreputable word.
It is also reported that the Postmas
t?r at Grand Junction, G. A. Woodson.
Esq., has abandoned the Radical party
—that is, if he ever belonged to it:
though I believe he did run on th«
Radical ticket last Fall for Representa
tives.
Moreover, it is currently reported,
at Corinth and Inka, that Judge Field
ing Hurst, of Purdy, Tet.n.,has chang
ed his politics (according to habit, in
times past, of changing sides at least
once in every six or seven years,) and
had signified his intention of rallying
to the Conservative banner, with all
his henchmen and retainers.
One thing is certain, Messrs. Edi
tors : all over the country, as far as my
observation has extended, there is a
very preceptible tendency among the
masses of the people to join the now
reorganized Democracy. A strong re
action is especially observable among
the colored voters and others who
have everywhere in the South been so
inlamously deceived by the Radicals
and their carpet-bag leaders. All re
spectable white men and freedmen will
join the Democracy before the election
in November—at leasl in the South.

Death of Gen. H. 1». Howard.
The telegraph wires brought to this
place, on Tuesday morning la6t, the
sad intelligence of the death of the
above named fellow-citizen and Geor
Ilian, which transpired in Athens, Ala.,
on the same morning. Cause, fever.
Gen. 11. was a gentleman in the
very prime of manhood, healthy and
robust in appearance, and possessed of
fine intellectual capacity. He was en
gaged in teaching music, in which he
was thoroughly accomplished, and had
a class in this place which he was in
structing, and was also ProfTessor ol
Music in the Atlanta Female College.
He was very happily constituted in
rendering himself agreeable to children.
For him they cherished the kindest
feelings. He will be buried in Atlanta,
with Masonic honors, to-day or to
morrow. agreeable lo his dying re
quest.

All bail! Kentucky!— Glorious
old Kentucky has just rolled up the
handsome little majority of from 60,000
to 75,000 for the Democracy. She
set* the ball in motion for Seymour
and Blair. Let us keep it rolling.
Stevenson, Democrat, received 8,244
voles iu the city ol Louisville, and his
opponent 492 votes. Thou Queen ot
the West, well done !!
All the magistrates elect in Shelby
county, Ala, are negroes, and not one

Gen. W. T. fYofloid’s Speech.
Gen. Wofford addressed the citizens
of Bartow County, in this place, on
Tuesday last. This is, we believe, the
opening speech of the Presidential cam
paign in this county, on the Democratic
platform, and also the commencement
speech in his list of appointments as
Alternate Elector for the State at large,
in the 7th Congressional District.—
The speech had a telling effect upon
lis audience, and will, doubtless, re
dound in great good to the Democratic
party in the approaching election.—
Fite very mild and conciliatory way
in which it was delivered, met the
hearty approval of all who heard him.
He abused nobody, and no party, but
simply made a statement of facts which
all could see and understand. He told
the people that while Ceneral Grant
was a great Military chieftain—educa
ted for a Military man in a Military
college, and had won laurels upon
may battlefields, yet he knew nothing
of civil matters, and was consequently
unfitted for the high office of President
of the United States. That ifelected,
lie would have to call in advisory coun.
sel. His counsellors might be good
men or they might be corrupt men ;
and, in view of that fact, if nothing
else, the people had better vote for
Mr. Seymour, who is a gentleman of
acknowledged legal ability and experi
ence in civil matters, having served
three terms as Governor of the State of
New York, —a gentleman eminently
qualified for the duties of that high and
responsible office, and not dependant
upon corrupt partisan counsellors to
direct him. This fact, of itself, was of
sufficient importance to cause every
law and order man in the United States
to vote for Seymour for President.
He took particular pains to explain
to the colored people present, some of
the strongest arguments sought to be
used by the opposition or Radical
party to induce that class of voters to
support the Radical ticket, to wit, that
there should be no difference made, on
account of color, by our common
carriers on railroad cars, at hotels, and
in our common schools. He told them
that it had been said, by some of those
who professed to be their friends, that
they were a superior race of people to
the whites, and that if they had the
advantages of the white man, they
would be as far in advance of the
while man as the white man is now of
lie colored man. He showed them
he absurdity of such arguments by
appealing to their reason. He said
that he was in favor of their having as
good cars to ride in as the white man—
that they paid the same fare, and were
entitled to the same accommodations,
but that any decent colored min had
rather ride in a car with those of his
own rate, where he would feel upon a
perfect equality, than to be seated in
the white man’s car with the white
man, who looked upon him as an
inferior being, and be subjected to his
taunts and insults. The same line ol
argument was used in regard to hotels
and common schools. He further ad
vised them of the fact that military law
had been abolished in the State, and
that they were now subjects of civil
government —could make their own
contracts at their own discretion
could sue and be sued in the courts ol
ihe country, and were not compelled
to submit to the rule of corrupt bureau
agents. He further advised them to be
more economical with their money,
and buy farms and build their own
hotels, etc., and that he was in favor
of levying and collecting a poll-tax
for educational purposes —the colored
man’s tax to be appropriated to the
education of colored children, and vice
versa. As to their being a superior
race of people to the whites, if God so
designedit.it would be so; but, from
the stand-point from which he viewed
it, the colored man was of a different
race altogether from the white, and
any effort made to elevate him above
the white, would result in widening
the breach already opened between the
two races. He wanted us all to live
in peace and harmony, and be of
mutual advantage to each other, at the
same time respecting the interests of
both races.
His speech was delivered in a spirit
of kindness, and with due respect to
those who honestly differed with him
in his political views and opinions.
Let the leaders of the great Democratic
party of Georgia emulate bis example,
and they will find that sugar will draw
more dies than salt.

Senate has finally passed the House
amendment, extending the time in

tions to our immediate representative

Survey, for 1860, for which he will
please accept our thanks.
“Intolerance.”
We heartily endorse the following
article from the .ithens Watchman.
and commend it to the attention of our
readers. Much injury has already been
done to the Democratic party in Geor
gia, and elsewhere, bv unseasonable
and imprudent remarks from the stump.
Remarks calculated to drive eft' rather
than add to our ranks good and true
men. We are opposed to the principle
of crimination and re-crimination on
account of past differences of opinion,
especially about matters that have al
ready been settled, whether in our own
or somebody else’s way. What the
Democratic party now wants is to
bring the people together, no matter
what their former party predilections
may have been, and unite them, as one
man, in the great struggle lo restore
constitutional law and liberty to the
land. Til is cannot be done as long as
the leaders of that great party denounce.
Irom the stump and in the newspapers,
men who have heretofore ventured to
exercise the right of thinking and act-
ing as they pleased. Let by-goncs be
forgotten, and let us, in the spirit of
kindness, present the truth to our fel
low-citizens, and by persuasive means
endeavor to enforce it upon their minds.
Madness has too long ruled the day for
the good of all concerned, and instead
of widening the breach by abusive and
insulting words and insinuations, let
us apply the balm of reconciliation to
the wounds that have already been in
flicted, by treating all as our friends
and brothers. Let us. as Democrats,
hold up the hands of our great political
standard bearers, Seymour ami Blair,
by showing up their superior excel
lence, and not by abusing and bull-rag
ging their opponents. Says th e Watch
man :
“’Phere is a matter to which we
would respectfully direct the attention
of our Democratic and Conservative
friends, which we believe to be of vital
importance,and we hope that no offence
will be taken at what wo may fay,
as our only object is to benefit the
cause.
“We refer to the intolerant spirit
manifested by certain speakers and
editors towards those with whom tliev
may have differed on some subjects in
the past. For example: We have
heard all who vo ed for delegates to the.
late Convention, or for ratification of
the Atlanta Constitution, or for the
Constitutional Amendment, denounced
in the most unmeasured terms, and
abused like pick-pockets. Now, this
is not only impolitic, but unjust. We
are told by certain parlies tlut no one
except such as have voted lor the above
measures will express such an opinion.
is.n . mistake Jt.for we did not .utile
affirmatively on either of them, and yet
we not only entertain, but daily express,
tlie opinion that all such avowals are
both itnpoli ic and unjust.
“There are thousands of Democrats
and Conservatives who voted for either
one or all of the above, who are just as
sure to vote for Seymour and Blair as
any of us, provided they are let alone.
We differed with them—it was an hon
est difference on both sides—and we
now have no quarrel with them. They
now see, as we do, that the political
salvation of the country depends upon
the election of Seymour and Blair, and
the defeat of the Radical party. We
are fully agreed in reference to this
issue—it is the only issue before ihe
country ; ami so long as they are sound
upon it, what sense or justice is there
in abusing them because we differed on
past issues? Why should they be thus
driven iutolhe Radical ranks, when we
need every vote we can get ?
“This is written in a spirit of kind
ness, and we hope out friends will be
guarded in expressing their opinions in
such manner as to give offence to none
who are willing to aid in restoring the
Constitution by driving the common
enemy from the high places of the gov
ernment. Let us have no more abuse
of onr coadjutors, even though thev
may have differed with us heretofore.”
Sunday .Session of the 11. 8. Sen
ate.
The religious sentiment, or feeling
of the whole country is shocked at the
Sunday session of the United Slates
Senate, which is thus referred to by
the New York Ezpress:
This great Representative body of
“ the moral and religious party” of
the country, were in session Sunday
morning til! 2 o'clock, and re assembled
again Sunday evening, being in session
till a late hour. There is no earthly
excuse for all this violation of the
Sabbath, especially by such a party as
cages or fines a German if he drinks a
glass ol beer on Sunday, beyond his
own household, or pronounces it wick
ed to hear a band of music, in gardens,
playing airs which are chanted in
churches by church organs.
The Rump Congress met in March
last, (usually meeting for the first time
in December.) and re-met in July ;
then re-asscmbled in November, a
month before the usual time, and now
promises to re-assemble again, unless
Senator Morgan, of New York, and
Gen. Sehenck, of Ohio, (head centres
of the Radical organization,) pronounce
to the contrary, in the coming Septem
her; for, upon them, and upon them
alone, depends the re-gathering of the
Rump in September! Months of this
time have been wickedly consumed iu
degrading, nay, destroying, or nigger
izing the Southern Stales! Impeach
ment,‘too. consumed weeks and weeks.
After all this time, thus consumed, the
Rump, it appears, haJ to violate the
Sabbath in the morning, and the Sab
bath at night, and thus to set bad
examples, despite the commandment,
“ Remember the Sabbath day, to k<-«n
it holy.”
A Riotous Police.
Augusta is in a sad plight with its i
municipal officers. We say amen to
the first sentiment contained in the
following remarks of the Macon Hies
senger in reference to that unfortunate
city : “ We feel thankful in not having
such a government and police as they
have over in Augusta. So otrageous
and oppressive has the military affair
which Meade placed over that citv
become, the citizens are holding meet
ings to devise some means to eet rid of
it. Instead of suppressing violence,
the Police have recently been commit*
ting murder, and have recently taken
an oath to shoot any one who will call
them scallawags. The worst possible
feeling exists between the people and
their local government. Such might
have been expected, for such always
conus of a government not of their
choice being thrust upon a people.
That perjured fellow, Foster Blodgeu.
is at the head of the citv government
as Mayor, and of course corruption and
baseness fills every office under him.
He has collected kindred spirits around
him who run riot over a people in the
holding of positions created for their
protection. We hope our sister citv
will soon get rid of the disreputable
crew.”
A Sad Commentary.
There is (says the Montgomery, Ala.
Mail,) seated now in the Legislative
Halls, by force of negro votes, making
laws for a State that numbers more
than a million souls, one man who has
been confined in jail for bigamy, an*
other who is charged by his hired
negroes with having defrauded them of
wages, another who is under indictment
for stealing a mule, another who has
been openly charged with arson, an
other who has been a fugitive from
justice, another who is pronounced by
his wife as a lunatic, another who is
charged openly with defrauding the
Government, and still another who has
been in the Penitentiary.

Relief! Relief!!
The great heait of the people beats for Re
lief. The people of Georgia were all engaged
in the common enterprise—the war. Gov.
mown picugeu evt*nr uouir ei money, proper
ty and credit of the State, together with the
lives of the people, for its prosecution. The
President of the Southern Gonfederacy did the
same thing, and so did our commanding Gen
erals. The property of the peop'c was destroy
ed; and the blood of our children freely shed.
Jhe great heart of the people was dispoiled;
they were rendered bankrupt, dispirited—
made beggars ; and they are oppressed and
and made slaves of our former serv
ants ; and we are debtors of the Quartermas
ters, Speculators, and of our oppressors and
enemies.
The jurisdiction of the Court is now denied
by the Constitution of the State. As to negro
debts, or their hire, and the debts of the State
during the war, they are repudiated ; and so
of private debts where (he consideration enters
into Confederate money, with the exception of
executed contracts. [God save the mark.]
The rich, with their acres, are protected by
a Homestead, (which the rich alone possesses.)
By the law there is no lelief except for the
negroes, quartermasters, and speculators.—
The honest creditor is not allowed to collect a
dollar, though his debtors may he rich, and he
a beggar. I assert it, relief is honest legisla
tion, and the people wdl have it.
The ordinances of the Convention of 1805,
and the ordinances and new Constitution
need reformation. The down-trodden and op
pressed poor, honest debtor is entitled to relief,
and they can get it, not by secession or revolu
tion, but by means of an equitable settlement,
which is the end of strife. Reform the law
and the courts, and thejuiioe will do right
This session of the Legislature can cure much
of the evil. More anon.

A Woman in Man’s Clothing Run
ning Away with a Negro.—Yester
day morning, on the arrival of the
Georgia train. Lieutenant Murphy was
at the depot, and his suspicions were
aroused by what appeared to be a white
man and negro together, very sociable.
He watched them a while, and his keen
eye soon satisfied him that it was a
woman disguised as a man, and at rested
both. Soon alter the arrest a telegram
was received from the girl’s father,
staling that she and the negro had left
Union Point the night before, and as
king that they be stopped.
The girl, whose degradation is so
deep that we refrain from giving her
name, says that she had been intimate
with the negro for some months, and
that she was in a condition that would
have soon disclosed the fact to her
parents, and runaway to prevent the
discovery. They were to goto Nash
ville. Tennessee, and marry, so the
negro says. This she deities, butsays
she loves him belter than any man she
knows.
The negro is a black, ugly, kinky-
Iteaued man, about 30, and a fair sam
ple of his race. The girl is a bout 18,
with homely features and a depraved
look.
Since the above was in type the
father of the girl has arrived in the city,
and will return with her to day to his
home in Oglethorpe county.’ “The

Bull’s Worm Destroyer.

Letter.
YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ITS CONTENTS.
Middletown, i:id., April 26,66.
Mr. M. L. Duplan writes: Ido not know that Bull’s
Worm Deatroyer needs any more recommendations
thin it has already attained b; Its own merits, but
fill state that my little son, aged about three years,
was severely attacked last fall and winter with light
chills fol’owed by very high fever, throwing him Into
spasms, or perhaps more properly Jits, lasting from
half an hour to one and a hall hours; at the same time
the child had very strong symptoms of worme. My
physician—one of the best in this part of the country
exhausted all his skill and the Materia Medina to ex
pel the worms, and entirely failed to bring any. I
though.. *‘S« hn Bull” could do it, and gave the child
the contents of three boxes. In triple doses, i.lgut and
morning, with happy results. The child has not had
a spasm lor over three months, and in-trad of the
bloated mass that he was, he is now well and hearty.
“John Bull did it.’ Yours, truly,
M L DUPLAN.
A CALL FROM DISTANT

Destroyer for sale. They art greatly needed here
in Minnesota. A trial is a t that is needed to give
them a reputation. We cant do without them, Do
send tome on this way. Yours, sincerely,

READ THE CAPTAIN'S LETTER AND TOE LET
TER FROM 1118 MOTHER.
Benton Barracks, Mo., April 80, 1866.
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: Knowing the efficiency
of your Sarsaparilla, and the healing and beneficial
qualities it possesses, I send you the following state
ment of my esse:
I was wounded about two years ago—was taken
prisoner and confined for sixteen months. Being
moved so often, my wounds have not healed yet. I
have not sat up a moment since 1 was wounded. I
am shot through the hips. My general health is im
i.alrcd, and I need something to assist nature. I
have more faith in your Sarsaparilla than in any thing
else. I wish that that is genuine. Please express me
half a dosen bottles, and oblige
Capt. C. P. JOHNSON.
St. Louis, Mo.
P. B.—Th* following was written April 89,1805, by
Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Capt Johnson.
DR. BULL—Dear Sir : My husband, Dr. 0. 8. John
son, was a skillful surgeon and physician in Central
New York, where he died, leaving the above C. P.
Johnson to my care. At thirteen years of age he had
a chronic diarrhoea and scrofula, for which I gave
him your Sarsaparilla. IT CURED HIM. I have for
ten y-ars recommended It to many in New York, Ohio,
and lowa, for scrofula, fever a Tea, and gener il debili
ty. P-rfect success has attended It. Tht cure* effect
ed in tome cant* of ecrofula and /ever tore* were
almont miracul me lam very anxious for my son to
strain have recourse to your Sarsaparilla. He Is fear
ful of sei tiny a spurious article, hence his writing to
you for It. His wounds were terrlh'e, but I believe he
will recover. Respectfully, JENNIE JOHNSON.
SMITH'S TOD SYRUP!
FOR THE CURE OF

OR
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims fur it a superiority over all remedies ever offer
ed to the pu die tor the «></«, certain epetdy and per
manent eure of Agu ami Fever, or Chtlis and Fever,
whether of short or long standing, lie refers to the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
lesiiiDony to the t ruth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict
ly lollowed and ca rled out. In a great many cases a
'ingle dose has oeen sufficient for a oure, and whole
families have oeen cured by a single bottle, with a per
fect restoration of the general health It is, however,
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its
use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af
ter the disease has been checked, more especially in
difficult and l.ng ssnd’ng cases. Usually, this medi
cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order, should the pstleot, however, require a
cathartic m-dieine, after having t-ken three or four
■loses ol the Tunic, a single dose of BULL'S VE JETA-
BuE FaM’LY P11.U3 will be sufficleLt.
