•'v abc4 of Cobb.— A gentleman from
Chattahoochee thei grain
crops arc so poor in that section that
the squirrels are all perishing for want
of corn. , • ■ •
Railroad Bridge. —Mr. Appier, the
polite Agent of the Montgomery and
West Point Railroad, told irt yesterday
that the bridge at this place would be
completed by the 15th of September.
Assessment Dats. —The Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue in Alabama
has designated Mondays and Thursdays
as the times when cotton can be weigh
ed, assessed and marked, according to
law, in Girard.
Real Estate Owners. —In looking
over the tax books we found that tlie
real estate of one gentleman in this city
is assessed at $113,500, of another $65,-
000 and of another $50,000. A consid
erale number represent over $20,000
and a larger number still SIO,OOO.
Sweet Potatoes. —They are begin
*fc>ing to be brought into the city by the
quantity. Early in the week country
men were demanding and securing two
dollars per bushel, but we noticed on
yesterday they had fallen to one dollar
aud a half and appeared disposed to take
less. People at the present time are
not able to give high prices for any
thing.
' ?
Rust. —Since the recent rains rust
has vigorously cotton. Much iias been
ruined by this tell agent in this and ad
joining counties, and in Alabama,
along the line of the Mobile and Girard
Railroad. Much cotton lias been ruined
tliei’eby. The staple in this section has
been affected by almost every ill, and
the hopes of almost every planter have
' been most bitterly disappointed.
Number of Bales Permitted.—
Since the last week in August, 1865, up
to yesterday, in this Sub-District of six
counties, 45,283 bales of cotton have
been permitted. Two hundred and
eiglity-five only were permitted in Au
gust. Averaging these bales at 500 lbs. j
each, the tax of two cents per pound col- j
lected on them is $492,850, quite a re
spectable revenue from a ruined coun
try. All of this cotton with the exce.p- j
tion of five or seven thousand bales j
have been received in Columbus.
Somewhat of a Somersault. —We
are informed that near Chunneuuggee,
on the Mobile and Girard Railroad, sev
eral days since, an engine and tender
belonging to - the passenger train was
thrown from the track and precipitated
some fifty feet below. The engine
made several turns before reaching the
fiSCTtom, yet neither the engineer nor fire
man was injured. Mr. Potter, an ac
complished photographist, has pictured
the wrecked engine. No other cars
were thrown from the track.
County Court.— The monthly term
of this Court commences next Monday
week. The return day is next Tuesday.
Lawyers may be interested in remem
bering this fact. The semi-annual term
—the return day for which was cm the
21st —of the Court commences aftho
same time. At the semi-annual Court
all suits to any amount can be protract
ed. Next mouth will be the Appear
ance Term, and the trial, except in rent
cases, which are immediate, will take
place in May. The business of the
Court next mouth promises to be very
uirge. The Court has thus far proved
in,elf a are at convenience, and an econ- j
gteatim-v iHiljßOiiey. J
The Tmj ola.— A passenger on this
steamer on his late trip to Apalachicola
the Florida Times, published at
Marianna, that she made the distance—
ninety miles—between Columbus and
Eufaula in ten hours. The river was,
very low. The boat, the writer say*,
cost about SII,OOO, as she is des
tined for the Chipola, and her whistle
may soon he heard at Marianna,- where
many stockholders reside. Os the boat
the writer says: Her state-rooms are
pleasant and cleanly, her dining saloon
commodious and well furnished, and
her table supplied to the taste of the
fastidious. No boat has any better offi
cers and crew. Her commander, Capt.
Yan Marcus, is a perfect gentleman, a
man of stirring enterprise and well dis
posed to look after the interests of. the
stockholders and the comfort of passen
gers.
Fall Merchandise. — Merchants are
beginning to go North to purchase Fall
supplies. Thej r are not, however, leav
ing as early a3 in former years. We ilo
not believe any large amount of goods
will be purchased. We think the large
majority of merchants are satisfied that ;
a small crop of cotton will be produced, !
that the price will not be as high as was ■
anticipated and hence they desire to in
vest as lightly as possible. Besides the ,
pockets of few merchants are lined with
money, and they must regulate their ;
stocks accordingly. Purchases of goods
in New York, says a late paper from
that city, are not large, and trade is
backward for the season. Many deal
ers decline buying at the present very
high prices, or purchase only small sup
plies, anticipating a break in prices and 1
a decline in gold.
. From Apalachicola. —All vessels
coming from New Orleans that have |
sickness on board, are quarantined, by '
order of the military authorities, for
fifteen days off Apalachicola. The
Beaufort is now in duress vile, but, it is
thought siie will get olf in twelve days
from the time (the neighborhood of the
20th) slie reached the port. Before
that date the Florida touched at the
port, when hearing of the quarantine,
she proceeded on to St. Marks. Re
turning, and having no sickness on
board, she landed freight and left for
New Orleans.
Seven cases of cholera have broken
out among the negro troops and they
have been removed to St. George’s
Py, just below Apalachicola. Sev
. deaths have resulted. Only one
case, that, of a negro woman, occurred
among the people of the place. Those
attacked had been eating too freely of
crabs, oysters, Ac. G’uttiug open the
negro woman’s stomach, the physicians
found a layer of “crabs,” another of
oysters, and on them cat fish without
number. On the 20th there was no case
in Apalachicola, and no new one among
the troops on the Island below.
General Passenger Depot. —Mr.
B. E. Wells, the efficient Superintend
ent of the Mobile and Girard, and Mont
gomery and Eufaula Railroads, waa.ffi
Montgomery on the 31st u1t.,.t0 repre'-’
sent the latter road in an effort to estab
lish a general passenger depot in th«jt
city. V'
m Paper at Fort Valley.— We have
received a copy of handsome paper,
well edited, styled the Fort Valley Led
ger. * It is published at Fort Valley,
Ga. Denis W. D. Boully and Dr. G. T.
Wilburn are editors. We wish the pro
prietors the success they well cleserYe.

Columbus, Oa., September 2, 1866.
COTTON—BEVIKW OP COLUMBUS MARKET.
August 31st ended a cotton year. In Colum
bus we have laborgg under many difficulties.
On April 17th, 1865, every cotton warehouse in
the city, except a fire-proof stable, in which
"was stored some 5,000 bales, was burned by
the Federal*. It is estimated that 45,000 bales
wero consumed in this city alone and much in
the neighborhood. For several months our mer
chants labored under the disadvantage of in
sufficient warehouse room and the want of rail
roads. The bridge over the river, belonging to
a branch of the Montgomery and West Point
Railroad, is not yet finished. Some 2,500 bales
lay in the streets for want of storage. During'
last Fall fiatboats were used principally for the
transportation of cotton, as owing to the de
struction of the Central Road, it could not be
carried to Savannah, and the river was too low
for steamers. The highest price paid for cotton
was 48 cents —early in January. Middlings
for the past four months have been held at from
26 to 30 cents, and now nominally at 24 to 26
cents. The cotton now on hand Is held by own
ers for higher pricey. We have now a super-
abundance of warehouse 4-oom, and the way for
shipment is now opened in different directions.
It is estimated that we shall receive the pres
ent year from 50,000 to 75,000 bales of cotton.
The completion of the Girard road, twenty
seven miles, this. Fall, will add greatly to our
receipts.
It is roughly estimated that during the past
year about 2,250,000 bales of cotton have been
sent to market from the South. The coming
crop is variously estimated at 1,500,000 to 2,000,-
000 bales. Georgia will yield somewhere in the
neighborhood of 150,000. Only six bales of the
new crop have been received here.
Our tables show the receipts of Columbus to
be 33,990. To these must be added about 2,500
bales, which were never warehoused, but
which remained several weeks on the streets.
They foot up then as follows :
Ree’d from Sept. 1, 1865 to Sept. 1, 1860, 33,49!)
Shipped “ ' “ “ 33,629
Stock on hand Sept 1, actually count’d 2,801
In 1860 there were received 122,119 bales,
shipped 119,722; in 1859 115,885 were received
and 111.334 shipped.

Love and an Elopement.— On Mon
day evening last a gentleman of this
city received a dispatch from Montgom
ery that a Federal soldier had eloped
from that city with a young lady. He
was requested to ask the Notary not to j
furnish a license. The officer was duly i
notified, but the twain who anticipated j
happiness did not come this way. As 1
a continuation of this little domestic ’
episode we copy the following finale of
the affair from the Atlanta Intelligencer j
of Thursday. The unhappy pair, as the |
sequel shows, went to Atlanta :
The happy pair reached this city on
Tuesday evening. The festive youth
glories in the name of Haycock—a ser
geant in the regular United States army
—and bears on his person a brief fur
lough of seven days. He belongs to the
military garrison of Selma, Ala. His
appearance is decidedly of the “Don
Juan” order, and in this particular
alone, we may remark, does he fill the
bill we called lor yesterday. He flies
upon the wings of love, or to take a j
more “bacon and greens” view of the
subject, travels on the railroad clad in
the beautiful cerulean-hued clothes
which the government furnishes to its
warriors, and which we remember to
have seen elsewhere under circumstan
ces of a decidedly less romantic char
acter. He has been stationed at Selma
about four months.
The young lady—a flaxen-haired
beauty of about seventeen rosy sum
mers—lived in the State of Missouri
ouce, but for two years past has been a t
Selma, and other parts of Alabama.
She comes from a highly respectable
family, and her father is said to have
been attached in some way the Confed
erate Navy during the late war. She
gives her name as Aliceettc Deliaven,
and exhibits every evidence of unwav
ering affection for the man of her
choice. To make a long story short,
she was wooed and won. The match
was opposed by her parents, and she
consented with her lover to seek some
point where the knot could be tied.
Montgomerj r was reached, but they
were too closely pursued to admit of
their original plan being carried into
execution of marrying there. They
took passage upon a train for Atlanta,
and reached here simultaneously with a
dispatch to Mayor Williams, asking
that the fugitive he apprehended and
held in custody until the young lady’s
friends could come to her. When the
West Point train rolled in they were
easily identified, and at once escorted
to the Planter’s Hotel, where they re
mained during the entire day yesterday
under guard.
A warrant for the arrest of the par
ties was in Sheriff Martin’s hand, and
they would have been taken charge of
had they come to Columbus.
THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE.
Report of Gen. Gordon Granger—' The
Disposition of the South with
Respect to the Union.
To His Excellency, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States :
Sir —ln ohecfience to instructions,
dated May. 9, 1866, directing me, while
carrying out a specific mission, “to ex
amine carefully into the 'disposition of
the Southern States through which I
might pass, toward the Government of
the United States," I have the honor to
report: . • 1 '
That in all the States’l visited I found
no sign or system of organized disloyal
ty to the General Government. I found
the people taking our currency, and
glad to get if; anxious for Northern cap
ital to develope the resources of their
wasted country, and well disposed to
every Northern man who came .'among
them with that object in view.
In some localities I heard rumors of
secret organizations, pointings a a
renewal of the rebellion. On investi
gating those secret societies, I
could discover nothing in them more
than charitable institutions, having for
their principal object the relief of the
widows and orphans of Confederate sol
diers who fell in the war.
During the whole of my travels I
found it to be as safe and convenient to
mingle with the people of the South,
( freely discussing any and every object
that came up, as in any other section of
the United States. I was often among
them unknown, and the tenor of their
acts and conversation was then the
same as when my name and official po
sition were thoroughly understood.
The people bf the South may lie di
vided into two classes. There is the
industrious class, .laboring earnestly to
build up what has been broken down,
striving to restore prosperity to the
country, and interested mainly in the
great question of providing food and
clothing for themselves and families.
These form the great majority of the
people. Then there is another class,
an ntteily irresponsible class, composed
mainly of young men who were the
“bucks” of Southern society before the
war, and chiefly spent their time in
lounging around the court rooms and
bars, in chicken fighting aud gambling.
These have been greatly broken up toy
the war; many of them have been,kill
ed, but those who remain are still dis
turbing elements in the community,
and are doing much mischief. It is this
class of men, aud a number of
poor whites, who have formed gangs
for horse-stealing. It is they, who, in
some instances, have made attacks on
officers of the Freedmen’s Bureau, and
have ill treated the freed men. It is they
who afford the main pretext for saying
that there is among the people of the
South a feeling of hostility towards the
United States Government. But they
are not the representatives of the South- j
ern people. They form but an insignif- ;
icaiit minority in tho community, and j
even they are actuated not so much by i
a feeling of opposition to the Govern- j
ment as by a reluctance to earn their j
own livleihood by an honest labor and j
individual exertion.
That cases of authentic outrage have
occurred in the South is patent to every
one familiar with the current news of
the day. But these cases arc few and
far between, aud it is both unjust and
ungenerous to charge the responsibility
for such acts of lawlessness upon the
whole Southern people. For some ma
licious purpose, accounts of these iso
lated disorders have been collected and
grouped together and sown broadcast
over t lie North, so as to give to the pub
lic mind an utterly erroneous impres
sion as to the condition of Souttiern
society. The fact is, that wherever dis
affection and turbulence have manifest
ed themselves outside the class to whom
I have above alluded, there lias been
some local or specific cause to account
for it. Lawlessness, like an epidemic,
has extended over particular belts of the
country, aud, like an epidemic, is equal
ly traceable *to some iniatory cause.
Chief among these causes must be
named bad government, pillage and op
pression.
For five years tlie. Southern people
have been the subjects of gross misrule.
During the war their Government was
a military despotism, dependent solely
on tlie dictum of an individual. Since
the war they have been left more or
less to a chaotic state—their Govern
ment semi-civil, semi-military, or rather
a division of rule between the military,
the Freedmen’s Bureau and the Provis
ional Governments. What might have
been the result of a different policy it is
not altogether idle to speculate. Every
military man who served in the South
during the war will agree that the heart
of the great mass of the people was not
thoroughly in the struggle. The num
ber of desertions from the rebel armies
abundantly establishes this fact. Had a
policy of wise and statesmanlike con
ciliation been followed out immediately
after the close of the war, it is more
than probable that the condition and
disposition of the people would now be
far better than they are. But on the
subjugation of the South the national
authority in the lately rebellious States
was divided aud broken up into oppos
ing factions, whose action greatly hin
dered the re-establishment of civil law
and good order so much needed among
a people demoralized by the most de
moralizing of all agencies—civil war.
The country was flooded with Treasury
agents who, with their accomplices aud
imitators, fleeced the people right aud
left, returning into the United States
Treasury for all the enormous amount
of property they seized and confiscated
barely enough to pay the cost of con
fiscation. Agents of the Freedmen’s
Bureau stepped between the planter and
the laborer, stirring up strife, perpetu
ating antagonism and often adding their
quota of extortion and oppression. On
every hand the people saw themselves
robbed and wronged by agents and self
appointed agents professing to act un
der the sanction of the United States
Government. Need it be wondered at
that among a community thus dealt
with, powerless to resist and too weak
and prostrated for successful complaint,
some bitterness and ill-feeling should
arise ? None hut a brave and well
meaning people could have endured
unresistingly all that the South has un
dergone.
In prosecuting this inquiry I hardly j
deemed it fair to ask more than what j
had been the actions of the people of the |
South toward the General Government, j
With their private opinions, their sym- I
patbies and their prejudices I had noth
ing to do. Yet for a more thorough un- j
derstanding of the question I made it a
part of my mission to investigate even
these, I found they had universally com- 1
plied with the conditions granted and
accepted at the final surrender of their j
armies and- cause. I found that they!
were carrying out with good faith and
alacrity the requirements of the consli- j
tutional amendment abolishing Slavery, 1
and that in all the States except Missis- j
sippi and Texas, the famous Civil Rights
bill had been anticipated by the action of !
tin State Legislatures previous to its pas
sage by Congress. Further than this, I
found that in the repudiation of every
dollar known as the Confederate debt,
the same prompt action had been taken
by the State authorities, and had been
universally indorsed by the people ; and
I neither saw nor heard any disposition,
or anything that pointed toward a dis
position, to repudiate the Natioual debt, ■
or to revive the institution of Slavery.
But while the Southern people are !
thus loyal, and have fulfilled all the re
quirements asked of them by the Federal
Government, it is impossible to disguise
the fact, and the better class of citizens
do not attempt to disguise it, that there
is among t hem a deep feeling and strong
apprehension as to the cause of their,
long - continued exclusion from Con
gress. They believe that it is a part of
a set plan for perpetuating the exist
ence of the political party now in the
ascendant, and that the question of suf
frage, readjustment of representation
and taxation are but excuses for still
longer delay. Thus regardless of the
great interests, not only of the suf
fering South, but of the whole coun
try, burdened with debt and labor
ing under severe embarrassment, I
found the prevailing opinion among
the most intelligent citizens, as well as
among those most anxious for an early
restoration of the Union, to be that, if
representation and an equal and just co
operation in the administration of Fed
eral affairs were much longer withheld
from the Southern States, a feeling of
indifference would spring up toward
taking any part in filling Federal offices,
and more particularly toward refilling
their seats in Congress—that the peo
ple, in fact, would stay away from the
polls, and allow the elections to go by
default, to the great detriment of the
country at large. This feeling of indif
ference indeed is already manifesting
itself, and is rapidly increasing, so
much so that were it not for a lew per
sons in each Southern State who have
found it necessary for their existenoe to
live upon and hold office, and whose
haunts and occupations have hitherto
been at the Federal capital, I do not
believe that any clamor for repre
sentation would be heard.
What is needed to restore harmony
and prosperity to the entire country,
both North and South, is closer and
better acquaintance with each other. I
have been astonished to notice how lit
tle people, even whose social relations
are all Southern, know of the true state
of feeling in that section of the country.
We need greater political, social and
commercial freedom, more frequent in
tercourse, and a kinder appreciation of
each other’s peculiarities. The advan
tages to the country in its present finan
cial stress of a reunion of heart and
sentiment would be beyond enumera
tion. The broad lands of the fertile
South are now lying almost in, waste
for want of means and capital to culti
vate them, when every acre of the
beneficent soil might be a gold mine to
its possessor, were the political relations
of the people better understood and
acted upon.
I have the honor to be, your most
obedient servant.,
GORDON GRANGER,
Brevet Major General, U. S. A.
The President’s Speech at Phiinile.]-
phi a—Enthusiastic Reception.
On Tuesday the President, with Sec
retary Seward, Gen. Grant, Secretary
Welles, General Meade and others, ap
peared on the balcony of the Continen
tal Hotel at Philadelphia, to witness the
march of the grand military and civic
procession. 'An immense crowd was
in the street and vicinity of the hotel,
and many cheers were given for the
President, Gen. Grant and Farragut.
The President was constantly waving
his hat and bowing to the crowd, in re
sponse to demonstrations, and after
several efforts to speak, during which
time the crowd surged to and fro, and
finally crowded close to the spot where
the President said:
In visiting Philadelphia it was not his
make a speech, but that he
was way to a great city of the
West, to witness tlie laying of the cor
! ner stone of the monument in memory
i of the great statesman Douglas, and
) thanking the citizens for the demonstra
tion, he trusted the day was far distant
when brothers should lift their hands
against brother’s throats; lie trusted the
day was far distant when the land we
love shall be again drenched with blood.
[Crie3 of “Good!”] The baleful plan
et of fire and blood had disappeared,
and the benignant star of peace has tak
en its place, and under its influence he
trusted the country would return to af
fection, peace and harmony, that re
construction will be brought about, and
wc shall stand together as one people,
and one Union. [Great applause.] *
He did not intend to make a political
speech. His public acts and messages
were before tlie country, and by them
he could be judged. He believed in the
policy calculated to promote the inter
ests of the country, and he would stand
by it until the Union was restored.
[lmmense applause.] Let us stand to
gether and forget that there have been
parties. Let us preserve the interests I
of the people and save the country.
Party sinks into insignificance before )
such tremendous issues, but if'the-party
must be sustained; it should be based j
on the great principles ot the Consti- ;
union. [Applause.] Yes, the Cousti- !
tution of our country is tlie strongest
league which can be formed and reviv
ed, and [general applause] let us rally
around this common altar of our cdhn
try, and swear that all shall perish and
fall together in the dust rather than the
Union of these States shall not be
maintained. [Applause.]
He had always relied on the intelli
gence, patriotism and integrity of the
people, aud so stood to-day. Tlie Con
stitution was in their hands and lie felt
confident that at tlie proper time and at
the ballot box they would give an ex
pression that would maintain it. So
the country may’ be redeemed
juvernated. [Applause.] The
the laboring men who welcomed him
here to-day’, and in whom he had con
fidence, could soon bring to terms that
class of men called politicians, without
much of an effort. There was much
clamor about putting men out of office,
aud the reason -was those persons de
sired to perpetuate their own power,
and now they say to many of you who
louglit their battles while they remain
ed safe at home, that they must not he
turned out and nobody’ else appointed
to office. [Applause.] Is that good
old doctrine of rotation in office not to
be applied to those now in office, and
are others Dot to participate in the con
duct of the Government, and are they’
to have the power and attempt to exer
cise it unrelentingly as tyrants them
selves. lie said, therefore, come up to
the work and the tyrants’ rod can be
bent and broken. He repeated the Gov
ernment was in their hands, and he
was willing, as he always had been, to
trust them, when it would be safe.
There was a tremendous outburst of
applause at the conclusion of the speech,
when the President aud his distinguish
ed party retired from the balcony.
Subsequently the President dined
with the Committee of Reception, and
during the evening he received thou
sands of visitors.
Removal of the Supreme Court.—
A meeting of the citizens of Lumpkin
county, was held at Dalilonega on the
10th. Hon. Geo. D. Rice and others
addressed the assemblage. Hon. H. P.
Bell on behalf of a committee of five
presented the following resolutions :
Resolved, That the location of the Su
preme Court at the city of Milledgeville,
in its practical effect, amounts to a de
nial of the right of that class of our citi
zens who are unable to employ counsel
to attend said Court, to have their rights
determined by the highest tribunal of
the State.
Resolved, That if this Court is not to
be held at such places as will make it
accessible to all classes of our citizens
alike, and if its benefits are to be real
ized by those only who have the means
to carry their cases to it, then we are in
favor of its unconditional abolition.
Resolved , That we demand such
change in the Constitution and laws of
this State, as to the location of said
Court or the places at which it is to he
held, as wnll make it accessible to all

200,000 bales can be spared for exporta
tion.

Reception of the President.
New York, Aug. 30. — 1n response to
the Mayor's address yesterday .the Presi
dent, in a voice evidently affected by
emotion, remarked as follows: To
make a reply to what you have just
given utterance to, under the circum
stances, would be more than I could
undertake. lam overwhelmed at the
reception you have accorded to me.
[Applause.]
Language is inadequate to give ex
pression to my feelings, I accepted your
invitation and I now beg you will in
return accept my most sincere and
heartfelt thanks. Such an invitation
from this great Metropolis ought to en
courage and it does. [Cheers.]
It is peculiarly acceptable at this time,
fresh as w T e are from the battle-field.
But there is still a greater battle before
us. [Cheers.]
In reference to what I have done, it
is before you, and it is for you to deter
mine what my conduct has been. [Ap
plause. ]
In conclusion let silence speak for
me what I ought to say and what I in
tend to do. [Cheers.]
In accepting these resolutions, accom
panied by sentiments so gracefully, ut
tered, V J again return you my sincere
thanks. At the conclusion of the Presi
dent’s remarks he was greeted with
three times three cheers. Loud calls
were then made for Secretary Seward,
who said : I feel that lam at home. I
thank you for the welcome you have
extended to me. [Applause.]
I feel more than that, for 1 have
brought with me to yours and my home
the President of the United States.
[Cheers.]
United by the arms of our heroes, by
the virtue of our citizens and by the
wisdom and energy of our Chief Magis
trate, if anything is wanting it is the
certificate which we look]for at the com
ing polls to bear us out in our opinions.
The United States should consist of
thirty-five instead of twenty-five States.
[Great applause.]
In the city and State of New York
the people should be faithful first to
their wives, then to their children, then
to the city and State, then to the coun
try. To this duty I adhere, and if per
sons were to interfere with me in
faithfully carrying out this principle I
could over balance them and still be
faithful to the country. [Great cheer
ing.]
The President, Secretary Seward,
Gen. Grant, Admiral Farragutand Sec
retary Welles were quartered at Del
monico’s, while the remainder qfthe
party were provided for at Fifth Avenue
Hotel. The President received many
visitors last evening.
New York, Aug. 30. —The banquet
to the President last night was a splen
did affair. Among those present were
Grant, Farragut, Seward, Welles, Rus
sian, Mexican and Brazilian ministers,
A. T. Stewart, Astor, and upwards of
two hundred prominent citizens. The
President spoke at great length, and
said in the course of his remarks that
the Government went to war for the ex
press purpose of preserving the Union
of these States, and the Government
had established the great fact that the
States have not the power or the right,
either by forcible or peaceable means, to
separate from each other, but the Con
gress has practically assumed and up
to the present time carried out the
right. We denied the doctrine that
the Government was dissolved and these
States out of the Union. We de
nied their right to secede even peace
ably, and now we find when these
States seek again to renew their practi
cal relations with the Union by sending
representatives to Congress, there are
men in that body, who in violation of
our great charter of liberty, refuse to
admit them.
The question is, will we submit—will
she American people submit to this
practical assertion of the doctrine they
repudiated aud overthrew by the war ?
That is the issue before you. If we
submit to this we give, the lie direct to
every position laken by us since the
commencement of the late war.—
He asked in the spirit of Christianity
and sound philosophy if we are pre
pared again to see one portion of tire
country arrayed against the other in
deadly conflict, or shall we make every
effort to unite the whole country in har
mony and brotherly affection ? Refer- j
ring to the Philadelphia Convention he
saidAhe best evidence that can be shown i
of tfvxalty are loyal professions aud
loyal Lotions, and wlien these gentle-
convention from the North
and .• until, come forward and profess
devotion to the Union and the Consti
tution, and when their actions and pro
fessions correspond, who shall dare to
doubt them ? Have we reached that
point that all confidenae is lost in men ?
If we have, I tell you that your Govern
ment is not as strong as a rope of sand,
it has no weight and will tumble to
pieces. The adhesive power of the
Government is in the confidence which
the people put in each other. He said
the South had accepted the arbitrament
of sword and lost, and wanted to return
again to the Union. He did not want
to see them come back degraded and
debased, but wanted them to come with
all their manhood. They have again
taken up the Constitution and ask that
its laws shall be enforced. What tiieu
was the cause of distrust or lack of
confidence in them ? There is no cause.
He also said that Gen. Grant and him
self had fought for the Union at one
end of the line and now they were fight
ing for it at the other, and if Grant was
not in the field he was equally of
good service. [Laughter and applause. ]
He said our three thousand million of
debt could only be paid by the consolida
tion of our nationality and the perpetuity
and union of the States. In conclusion
he said, the demonstration in Nerv
Y T ork confirmed him in his opinion that
the people will take care of the govern
ment, and those who would attempt to
check their purpose had better stand out
of their way. For himself he had
reached the summit of his ambition,
with one exception. There is hut one
thing wanting. Would you hear it?
[Cries of yes.] At this particular cri
sis and period of our history, when the
States are in peril, if I can be the in
strument in the hands of the people of
restoring this Union and making it
complete—causing the government to
recommence its glorious and mighty
career of prosperity and greatness, I will
be willing to exclaim as Simeon did of
old when he saw the Babe born in the
manger : “I Lave seen the glory of Thy
salvation, let Thy servant depart in
peace. [Enthusiastic applause.] That
beiDg done my ambition is complete; I
ask nothing more. I would rather live
in history than live in the affections and
hearts of my countrymen, as having
consummated this great end than be the
President of the United States forever.
Here the audience broke into an irre
pressible burst of applause, and on the
call of Gen. Sandford, gave three cheers
for Andrew Johnson, the restorer of
the Union.
After a drive through Central Park,
the President and Gen. Grant, look the
boat, at Manhattunville for Albany.
Albany, Aug. 31.—The President ar
rived last evening, and was welcomed
to the Capital of the State by Gov. Fen
ton. The President made no lengthy
reply, hut merely returned his thanks,
and accepted, as the Chief Magistrate of
the country, the hospitalities of the
State.
The President and party were then
escorted to the Executive Chamber,
where the Governor introduced the
President to the Senators of the State
and to the Lieut. Governor. General
Grant, Admiral Farragut, Sec’y Welles
and others were subsequently intro
duced.
There were demonstrations of respect
paid to the President at Poughkeepsie,
West Point and other points on the
Hudson River.
Rochester, Sept. I.—The President
arrived here to-day. A great multitude
greeted him with every demonstration
of honor, as has been the case at Au
burn, Utica, Canandaigua, Geneva and
other points.
The trip from Albany to this place
may briefly be described as a succession
of ovations.
Yesterday, at Auburn, a little boy nam
ed Richardson, rushed towards the car
riage to shake hands with Gen. Grant,
and fell under it and his leg was shat
tered. Last night he sent word to Sec
retary Seward he was anxious to see
Gen, Grant. The latter, much affected
by the circumstance, in company with
Surgeon General Bai nes, called to see
the little sufferer and consoled him, tell- j
iug him in parting to write to him when !
he recovered and he would try and be
of service to him.
At Seneca Falls Station, where the
party stopped a short time, the Fresi
ident was addressed by Judge Miles, in
behalf of the citizens. He promised
that Seneca should give a larger vote
this Fall in favor of his administration
than any couuty of equal population in
the State. The President responded ;
briefly, as also did others of the party
who were called out.
At Cliffton Springs the sister of Ste
phen A. Douglas and his two sons
joined the party. The President, aud
Gen. Grant went to the platform and
bowed to Mrs. Granger, the mother of
the deceased Senator, who was sitting
at the door of her residence, not far
from the track.
At Sclieuecteday they were welcomed
by the Mayor and Council in an address j
and the President was about to make a
reply when the platform on which
the party were standing gave way
and they were floored for a time.
No one was hurt, however, v and the
President spoke as though no interrup
tion had occurred. He made short
speeches also at Fonda, Herkimer, Uti
ca, and other towns on the route. On
arrival at Auburn the party were re
ceived by the Mayor, when the Presi
dent again spoke, and then an excur
sion was made to Willowgrove on Os
wego Lake, where an elegant dinner
was prepared. During the banquet
Gen. Grant proposed a toast to Senator
Romero, the minister of Mexico, and
the success of the cause he represents.
Speeches of Durant nnd Brownlow.
Washington, Sept. 2. —Durant, of
New Orleans, and Brownlow spoke at
the mass meeting at Philadelphia last
night. The former said Gov. Welles,
under directions from Washington,
filled every office with men who bad
given aid and comfort to the rebellion,
either in field or the Cabinet ; and so
well did lie succeed that in the follow
ing year no one was elected to the Leg
islature who would not have consider
ed it an unpardonable insult to have
been called a Union man. Immediately
were seen the dreadful consequences.
Odious distinctions were made in every
direction. Emancipated slaves were
and justice or rights in the
case of a citizen of African descent or
of Union principles, in most quarters
could not lie obtained, and this w T as one
reason why loyal men turned their at
tention to the thought ot reconvening
the Convention of 1864.
He declared that the President’s in
terference in the affairs of New Orleans
produced the terrible results of July
30th, and that loyal men were fleeing
to the North for protection and free
speech. He asked for the enfranchise
ment of the negroes, without whose
aid, lie says, the loyal white men of
Louisiana cannot recreate a gov
ernment.
Hon. Wm. Kelly said lie wished to j
introduce the great and valiant Govern- (
or Brownlow. In. the course of his |
brief remarks be said that the present j
Congress . was the most patriotic j
in tUe worm amt newr Imipi. ex
celled by any but tL present Legisla
ture of Tennessee. He further said :
“If another war comes I want you to i
divide your army into three portions ; !
let your first and largest come armed j
with harpoons to do the killing, let the
second come with live torches and do
the burning, and let the third come '
with surveying lines aud re-mark out j
and re-settle the country. These are j
mj' sentiments.”

Several of the pari)' arrested are in

have been sent to \\ dthonryille to have
a hearing before the civil authorities.
The two leaders of the organization
thus far have escaped.
The Savannah Herald learns that Ihe
following depredation was the cause of
the arrest:
It appears that lire “Regulators” had
attacked a freedmau’s house, and tired
four shots at the owner, who being
somewhat alarmed at first, climbed up
the chimney, but in a short time came
down, when be seized a gun and fired
into the crowd outside, wounding one
of them lie then managed to make
bis escape to a neighboring plantation.
The next day a posse of men went t o
the plantation (we are unable to say
whether they had a warrant or hot)
and arresled I lie freedmau, for the

The following order was issued on the
25th by Gen. Howard. It will be seen
that after Get. 1, the local authorities in
the Southern States will be required to
provide for the indigent within their
borders, both white and black :
“War Dep’t Bureau R. F. & A. L., \
Washington Aug. 22, 1866. j
“Circular No. 10.
“In accordance with instructions of
the Seoretary of War it is ordered that,
on and after the first day of October
next, tlie issue of rations be discontin
ued, except to the sick in regularly or
ganized hospitals, and to tlie orphan
asylums for refugees and freed men, al
ready existing, and that the State offi
cials who may be responsible for the
care of the poor be carefully notified of
this order, so that they may assume the
charge of such indigent refugees and
freed men as are not embraced in the
above exceptions.

The Memphis and Savannah Rail
road.—lt. is proper that we should re
mind the people of this city of the Rail
road Convention to be held at Macon,
Ga., on the sth proximo, to take into
consideration the importance of the con
struction of the link in the Memphis
and Savannah Railroad from Opelika
to Tuscumbia. As this is an enterprise
in which we are largely interested, for
the reason that it will reduce the dis
tance bet ween here and Memphis nearly
one hundred miles, it is important that
Savannah should be represented in the
proposed Convention. We are inform
ed that Macon, Selma, Memphis, Cairo,
St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati
will be represented. This indicates that,
the enterprising people of tlrese cities
are moving in the right direction ; and
Savannah must not be behind them.
She must have more railroads to meet
the increasing demand of the com
merce, anil certainly the one of most
vital interest to us is the road to which
we have referred. We need a direct
line of communication with the great
grain growing country of the West, and
they want our cotton and rice. The
plan we believe to be practicable and the
success certain,— -Sav, fferald , 31« b
