fhe Ijcrnhl. THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 18*5. THE IMIBKET TIOIV. For a week past, the whole State has been in a fever of excitement over the discovery of a most diabolical insurrec tionary plot on the part of the negroes in Washington, Burke, Jefferson and contiguous count.es. Conscious of their strength numerically in those counties, they seemed to have sup posed that it would be an easy matter for them to massacre the whites and possess their property. This spirit of agrarianism which has developed itself in an organized and systematic effort at insurrection, is bat the result of the pernicious teachings of Radical eu.is sariea—carpet-baggers—who, for po litical ends, prowled all through the South, for several years after the war, instilling tfee poison of hate into the negro’s heart, and educating him to be lieve, that, of right the lands and prop erty of the Southern people were, or ought to be his. Fortunately for the negro, the dia bolical scheme was discovered before it had assumed a phase that might have resulted in a war of races, and his con sequent extermination. Several hun- dred prisoners have been arrested and incarcerated. Extra sessions of the Superior Courts of the several counties have been called to investigate the charges against them, and it is to be hoped that developments may be made which will lay baro the whole hellish scheme and fix the guilt,where of right it should rest, up )D its fiendish origi nators. mov. aTh.^tktiikvs. As our readers are aware, the recent visits of this distinguished gentleman to Southwestern and Northern Geor gia, created a considerable stir in po litical circles throughout the State. Out of it grew a rumor that he was looking around in the interest of an independent candidacy for the Govern orship, aaid, viewed in this light, his movements struck terror to the cliques and rings that are manipulating Geor gia politics llcally, however, no po litical significance attached to his jnurneyings. The following, clipped from a letter of the Atlanta correspond ent of the Bavannah News, fully ex plains the object of his recent travels : “ Finding himself in excellent health at the commencement of the warm weather, Mr. S. concluded to carry out a long cherished purpose to visit some ot the old and revered friends of ante helium daj’s, nnd with this object in view went to Southwestern Georgia, ana kter to Chorokee, Georgia. At Oedartown many old associates from Greene county are located, and Mr, Stephens was at this plaee when the Charleston Convention assembled. llis recollections of that period, are, there fore, quite vivid, as he was then in the mi Ist of a community ‘red hot’ for seccession. After a lapse of nearly fifteen years he revisits those scenes, and mingles again with the loved and familiar friends of his boyhood. There, too, he met some o.f iiia .earliest clients, and talked over oaee .mere .'.he profes sional labors of his early manhood. To this was added a sacred duty—the ex amination and revision of the manu script of the life of Linton Stephens, recently prepared by Col. J. P. Wad ded, and which is now nearly ready for the press. These wo tike plain unvar nished facts connected with the late juurueyings of' Little Alex.’ ” PLAXS OF THK ■XM'RBKC - TIOXIBTS. The following extracts taken from the valuutary confession of John Chiles, a ■negro prisoner, under arrest in the Johnson oounty jail, explain fully the diabolical plans and objects of the poor dolu'led negroes in their insurrection ary schemes: “I do kßow that there is an organi zation existing in this part of the State, and it is of a military and secret charac ter; and if you will allow me. 1 will ex plain the whole movement in full— from the very beginning—what it is for and who the principal negroes are, and the offices they hold, and what they intended doing. The movement first started by Corday Harris, colored, (who is secretary erf the organization,) calling a meeting.of the colored people to assemble in Sandersvilie for the pur pose of getting general orders, and to know bow to proceed. Francis Murk erson, colored, (who is captain of a company in Washington county,) also was a principal man in the meeting. I attended the meeting, as also did most all tbe.colored people in this section "The object of that meeting was to get all ibe colored men to uovfce into a se cret military organization for the pur pose of getting 'equality*—by that, I ate an to take lands in this county by fi-reeand situs —to kill out the whites beginning with the little babe in the Crib, and killing all up ” ‘•The negroes intended to take the lands by force, to divide by lot the lands into forty acre lots—each to draw for his share, and to divide the person al prosperty, such as horses, cows, wagons, household furniture, between us. I know that we <1 mean nil in eluded in this organization) were to kill out all the whites, as I have told you before, and to take all the money we could find and give it to our treas urer —which was for our mutual bene fit.” “I know that the above is true, and that the time was near at hand when the general movement of bloody work would begin. My withdrawing from the organization as soon aa I did pre vented me from getting other secrets they have, and the laet orders, which I believe to be the orders for the general movement to begin alluded to above.” “As I have said before, the objeot of the organization was to kill out the whites, from the babe in the cradle up; to get all the money we could find and put it in our treasury ; to divide all the personal property between us, and to divide the lands into forty acre lots be tween us; and I suppose you know that their intention was to kill all the whites along the line of o arch, but I don't know what they intended doing after reaching Wrightesville, except to hold a mass meeting, and at that time ail would know what to do. I might say right here that one of the main ob jeets of this organization was the en forcement of the civil rights bill, rep resentation in the jury box, Ac. I know that Corday Harris is the princi pal leader in this section of the State and ill orders were issued by him.” [TOR TBI HZRAI.B.] GOVERNOR SMITH IV AV* vvm. Governor Smith arrived in our city on yesterday, August 23d, by the Cen tral Railroad, on his way home from and Waynesboro’. As soon as it was known that a real live Governor was in our midst, a demon stration was decided upon; and pretty soon hand-bills were scattered all over the city stating that a serenade would be given Gov. Smith at nine p m., at the Augusta Hotel. If the serenade had been all of the entertainment —as the hand-bill would have led the unsophisticated to have believed—the affair would have been exceedingly tame; in fact it seems to me, that to have really serenaded the Governor with such music as Gardner’s Band discourses, would have been al most an insult rather than an honor. Oh, music ' “ what crimes are committed in tby name I ” By nine o’clock a large crowd had gathered in front of the Augusta Hotel. Amongst them, in uniform, wore owe or two of our military companies. The time for action had arrived. The aforesaid band blowed and drummed through a tune; our artillery men fired seventeen shots from a Revolutionary cannon, and excitement ran high as repeated calls were made for Governor Smith. lie appeared od one of the verandas of the hotel and was introduced to the crowd by Judge Snead. A huge bonfire lighted up the whole of the square, and enabled me to see the speaker quite plainly. You know the maxim, “Do gustibus uon dispu taodum but as for myself I thought the tall, well proportioned man before me was remarkably handsome. How well he must have looked at the head of his regiment in the late war 1 But the Governor has commenced speaking and .we must liaten. He is so very hoarse that he wants to get out of a speech altogether; but the people below are not so kind as that, and he must “ go ou.” He spoke about the recent trouble with the negroes in Burke, Jefferson and Washington counties; bethought the negroes really meant serions harm, but that now the disturb ance had been quelled ; many of the negroes were in jails awaiting speedy trials ; ample proof for the conviction of some was to be had, and their pun ishment would keep down such things in the future. Nevertheless, he thought that, even in times of peace we had best be prepared for war. He oomplimented highly the white people in the dis turbed counties for the calm and for bearing manner in which they had acted He spoke of the political condition of the State; said it was better off per haps than any of our Southern States; and as well off as any of the Northern ones. And as to finances, our State bonds were selling now, even in New York, at par; but, we hoped that our sellingdoonds would soon be a need of the past. Some-of the Northern States, said he, had pathetically remarked that they ought to help us; but he replied that all that Georgia wanted was to W sc j vcrely In alone. He touched on the industries of the State, spoke warmly of tho good that the Geological Survey—whioh will be completed in several years—will do; many of our citizens have beeu uncon sciously treadingon mines of wealth un der their feet, while poverty was in their doors. Told us then of this new office of Commissioner of Agriculture and seemed to have great hopes of what this Department will do. Under this heading, the Granger question cropped out with some humor ous sarcasm; and while he seemed tp like the Granger, yet I could not see a single hay seed in his hair. The Governor does not seem to be in favor of high free schools—for every one; does not see tho necessity, nor what peculiar advantage it would bo to the country, for his boot-black to know French, or his hostler to be master of Hebrew and Greek. Also said, that it was a very strange fact, that a negro no sooner learns to read than he turns preacher, and imagines himself burden ed with the worth of toult; that indeed some of them were so ignorant,supersti tious, lazy, wicked and given to taking up collections, that it was impossible to believe that all of their Commissions came down from on high. After a few other remarks tho Gov ernor made us good night and with drew. He was frequently applauded in his forty-five minutes speech, and all the people seemed pleased with what they had heard. Calls were made for Honorables J. C. C. Black and Jos. B. Cumming, but they did not appear. Etwi^l. Augusta Ga., August 24, 1875. GEY. SHERMAN .AND JEFF. U.AYIS. The ANsmaniiintion of l.inroln— lien. llrngK on the Ntand- Alleged Attempts to Assassi nate the Confederate Presi dent. [Austin (Texas) Statesman July 11.] General Bragg was in the city several days during the §ast week He referred, in the course of a con versation, to the recent assertion of General Sherman that he had suspected Mr. : ’crson Davis of complicity with the assassins of Mr. Abraham Lincoln. General Bragg said that he had seen Mr. Davis tested in cases of this sort, and while two efforts it ere made by hired sssassins in 1864 to destroy Mr. Davis's life, he never manifest' ed the least signs of resentful feel ing. It was in June, 1864, that Mr. Davis, when riding along the defense of Richmond, was fired at, the bullets passing very near bis person. Once afterward lie was •hot at when in the outskirts of Richmond. But we propose to settle this question finally. Dahl gren's raid will not soon be forgot ten. Colonel Dahlgrcn’s address, as written and signed by hi*n, was memorized and spoken or read to his followers. They were disguised as spies, and were captured as spies inside of the Confederate Lines.— They came, as stated, to murder Mr. Davis. When they were cap tured and this paper was found on the person of this man, Dahlgren, Mr. Davis' Cabinet and his military staff concurred in declaring that the prisoners should be executed in ac cordance with the laws of war.— President Davis, after reading the paper and finding that be especially was designed to be assassinated by Dahlgren, peremptorily forbade other treatment than that accorded to prisoners of war. [General Bragg preserved photograph copies of Colonel Dahlgren’s orders ] If Mr. Davis were capable of enormi ties which General Sherman would ascribe to his intervention he would never have hesitated to punish with death the disguised followers of Dahlgren. And would it not be well for General Sherman to re member that Mr. Davis at all times intervened in behalf of the con demned? It was the complaint of many Confederate leaders that no body could be executed who ap pealed to the President for pardon, lie spared Harrison Self, the bridge burner of East Tennessee, and each Unionist who became a spy rather than soldier, and was captured within the Confederate lines. Of all men Mr. Davis’s personal vir tues and character have been most grievously misrepresented and mis understood by Northern people, even as Lincoln’s character and spirit were at first misapprehended throughout the South. Mr. Davis differed from Mr. Lincoln in that— both Kentuckians, and both reared in the midst of the same moral at mosphere—Davis was elaborately educated, and taught, and refined in all the schools; while Lincoln’s generosity, neither greater nor purer than that of Mr. Davis, was more conspicuous because of his personal rudeness, with which his womanly traits were in strong con trast. General Sherman is a man of force and genius and a skilful warrior; his selfishness, and thus his vanity, is his most significant foi ble, often degenerating into an un pardonable vice. Occupying his position he had no right to ascribe a degree of criminality to Mr. Davis which could only be suppose ! just to tho extent that partisans, North and South, traduced Mr. Davis in order to mako tho cause he espoused odious. Genera! Shermar., if mor ally a great man, which he is not, because his vices of intellect are great, should have considers ! the facta before pronouncing an opin ion, aa disgraceful to Sherman as designed to be ruinous to Mr Davis's personal fame.

The present annual edu cational appropriation is 8181,000. To avoid confusion with other .names it is proposed to change the name of Thomson, on the Georgia Railroad, to “ Herschel,” in honor of Hon- H. V. Johnson The compromise of the Rome bonds was defeated by forty-eight colored men who voted against it. The largest property owner* voted for the measure, but Cuffee’s vote killed it. The Macon Telegraph says Governor Smith is by no means an indifferent spectator to the scramble for the next Governorship, and that he iaa “agreed to leave his name with his friends to do with it as they deem best in regard to that office.” Ac unsuccessful attempt was made to burn the court house of Monroe county, located at Forsyth, on Tuesday morning. The fire was discovered in time to be extinguished before any considerable damage was done, except to one flight of stairs. The Warrenton Clipper says: We have now to record a very singular in cident which took place at Raytown, in this county, a few days since. Rev. Nathan Davidson, while preaching bad occasion to allude to the miracle of Jesus having restored a blind man to sight by putting clay upon his eyes, and remarked that this was “ very foolish in Christ,” when he was sud denly stricken with paralysis of the tongue, and remained speechless, utter ly uuablo to articulate for several hours. Hans Christian Andersen, the popu lar Danish poet, whose charming works have been published in almost every language, died at Copenhagen. Den mark . on the 4th inst. GLEANINGS.

Governor Porter, of Tennessee, has appointed Hon, D M Key, ol Chatta nooga, to succeed Andrew Johnson in the Senate of the United States until the Legislature makes an election. Ii is a remarkable fact that, while not one ex-President is living, the wives of five of them survive—Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Fillmore, Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Johnson. Of these ladies, one is insane ?.nd another at the point of death. Mr. Andrew Johnson, son of the late ex-President Johnson,denies all knowl edge of the reported insurance on his father’s life, though he says he has not yet been able to look over all his fath er’s papers. The estate of the ex-Pres ident is estimated at between $150,000 and $175,000 The Mayor of Baltimore has ap proved an ordinance iately passed by the City Council, providing for the in surance of the lives and limbs of fire men. The proposition is to insure so that a wounded fireman shall receive five dollars a week during his inability to work, and bis representative five hundred dollars in case of his death, A man named Louis Burke, who lived at Burkesville, Kentucky, a few days ago indulged in very blasphemous language because his crops had been destroyed by high water. He cursed God for having his crops destroyed last year by heat and drought, and for de stroying them this year by flood, and concluded his basphemy of the Creator with the expression, "God damn him!’’ His tongue clove to the roof of his mouth, and he died the next night, never uttering another word. More good points in the Missouri constitution : The Legislature is, for instance, to meet once in two years, can not have adjourned sessions, and if it is in session longer than seventy days every member loses one dollar a day from bis pay. which in the regular ses sion is $5. Every amendment must be incorporated with the original bill, and priced with it before am action is taken, and no motion to reconsider at a future tiuie can be entertained if a hill jis lost. The necessary expenses of the State government, interest, school, charitable and other funds must be pro vided for before money is voted for anything else. An Amusing luciilrnt. The following authentic incident indicates the spirit with which po litical contests were carried on in Tennessee twenty years ago: Andrew Johnson and Meredith P. Gentry, in 1855, were the op posing candidates for Governor of Tennessee. The leading organ of the Democratic party of the State, at that time, was edited by E. G. Eastman, who possessed a happy faculty for stirring up the bilo of political opponents. We make this statement iu order that what fol lows may be thoroughly understood. The contest between the parties was a fierce one, but Johnson tri umphed. Gentry bowed grace fully to tho will of the people and retired to his home in Bedford county. Two enthusiastic friends, Col. Matt Martin and Rev. William G. Brownlow, soon paid him a visit The latter is not wholly unknown to fame. They tarried sevoral days, and when they were about to depart, Gentry, taking down a Biblo aud hymn book, said, “I never permit a distinguished divine to visit my house and leave without saying prayers for the family and the neighborhood. Brownlow you must pray.” The invitation was accepted, and after a chapter in the Bible was read and a bymn sung, they all got down, on their knees. Among tho petitions that Brownlow offered up was this one; “May tho Lord send a beam of grace upon the heart of Andrew Johnson and his man Eastman.”— Gentry sprang to his feet and ex claimed in a loud voice: “Stop, Brownlow, stop! If that petition is answered the plan of salvation will be exhausted, and tho balance of us will be damned !” Col. Jas. A.
