men: of Europe, would be willing to enter upon a sy-
tetn of gradual emancipation: This, in our judgment
is a grave error, evincing a superficial and short-sigh
ed view of the question. We hold that without slavi
ry as the substratum of s->ciety. democratic covert-
met. t is a failure, and the right of universal suffrage a
humbug, and, hence we maintain tlmt to emancipate
siavet y, we must, in order to preserve stable govern
ment, abolish democratic institutions with it.
To substitute n servile class for the present servile
race wiil be suicidal, by building tip degrees and divis
ions in society wholly incompatible with liee govern
ment. In such an event, the substrata or lower classes
being the most numerous, and embodying the ignorance
of the country’, will always exercise a controlling in
fluence' at the ballot box, and wrest the government
froiq the hands of that superior intelligence which i.-
ah olntely necessary to .administer and carry on gov
ernment of any kind. It was, in fact, to tne conser
vatism and enlightened statesmanship "of the .South
that our old Government was indebted not only for its
establishment, but for its long continuance, and it is to
I the institution of slavery we are indebted for this con
I servatism. In the South, it is only the superstructure
of society or of the community that goes to the ballot
box anil controls the machinery of government, while
{ in the North it is the mbstrata or low er and more ig-
! norant classes that predominate and exercise a cou-
j trolling influence. Let, us, then, not think of giving
| tip the institution of slavery unless we are prepared
to give up free government with it.
As to the conciliation of European opinion by’ the
! emancipation of slavery, we regard also as a g eat
| mistake ; or would we s-. conciliate it even it it could
j be done at so great a price. We doubt nun covet
wliWier we should gain the good opinion of European
state^aeii even by thus humiliating ouiselves before
j tin-m. Their professed love for the negro, like that ol
the Yankee, is merely hypocritical. They have used
tin* institution as an instrument for severing and de-
i 8<royirg this once great republic, of whose influence
; they st<a>d iu awe. Why- is it that while waging a
j systematic and unceasing warfare against slavery in
! tiiis country, they have never raised their voices against
i the same institution iu Cuba, Mexico and the Mouth
J Am rican States 1 And if it be tbe system of slavery
; here that prevents them from recegnizin ' our hide-
pendency and entering into treaty stipulations with
us, why is it that for the same reason they do not break
ii their alliance with the slave countries above named !
if it were philanthropy merely that prompted their ac
tion, there arc ample fields lor its exercise outside of
these Southern States.
No, it is not tne system of slavery as it exists here
against which their hostility is directed, but i. is or was
the growing power of free institutions on this continent
j They dreaded the gigantic growth of the great Amen
1 can republic just as they dt^ud the growing power oi
| Russia on the Eastern continent, and when this is bro-
. ken down or destroyed to their satisfaction, they-will
a.-knowh tig.; our independence as well and as soon
with slavery as without it. lie is a shallow thinker
who supposes {that we'shall gain a recognition of our
independence by European powers by- tiie sacrifice cf
slavery, amTeven if we coald it is not worth the price
demanded. As for ourselves, we regard the institution
as the corner stone of our liberties, ns the bulwark ot
free government, and shall value independence as wotth
but little without it. Appeal.

I£c construction.
The following bill, ns reported in the Federal Con
gress on the subject of reconstruction, we insert for the
benefit of those short-sighted persons who would, after
all the Yankees have done for its, risk the future of this
country in their hands. If they can swallow Iho pill
here presented, then they are willing to submit to any
treatment, botanical mineral, vegetable or physical.—
People of the .South, do you accept the plan 7—we
kuow not—it would be too insulting to intimate such a
thing. But read and ponder for yourselves :
Reconstruction of the Confederate States.
The bill for “reconstructing” the Government of the
‘‘rebellious States” was introduced in the Federal Con
gress Friday. We find the following summary of its
provisions.in the Tribune :
It provides for the appointment by the President of
provisional governors ofrebel States, who shall see that
the laws of the United States and of the States before
the rebellion are enforced. But no law or usage
recognizing slavery shall be recognized by any officer
or court at such State. It emancipates all slaves in
such State, and their posterity forever, ttud provides
lor the dischaige, on habeas corpus, of persons held to
service on preteupe of ownership.
It provides for the punishment of attempts to rc-en-
Gave emancipated persons. It declares that officers
of the rank ot Colonel, or higher, iu the rebel service,
are not citizens of the United States. The bill further
provides for the calling of conventions in States whose
governments have been usurped and overthrown as
soon as tne military resistance to the United States
shalljiave been suppressed and the people shall have
sufficiently returned to their allegiance The conven
tions arc required to provide that persons in rebel civil
and military se. vice above the grade of Colonel, shall
not vote for, or be, a member ot the Legislature or
Governor.
Involuntary servitude is prohibited, and tbe free
dom ot till persons to be guaranteed in the said States.
No debt, State or Confederate, created by the usurp-
ing power is to be recognized. If the convention shall
refuse to le-establish the State government upon the
above conditions, t- e provisional government is to de
clare it dissolved, ami another election of delegates is
to be ordered.
loing good service. On the whole we think the de
nanil of the Government unreasonable, and we trust
'lie Government will resist firmly ad attempts to dis
band his troops—which Would virtually be effected by
yielding to the demand of the Secretary ot \Var. The
Government claims the troops underact of 17th Feb
nary last. We presume the whole matter will under
go judicialmvestigatiou—probably tried under a habeas
eorpnt, and if decided agniust the Governor will be
taken up to the Supreme Court.

Gets. Hood, with his army, is <*ce more on this side of
the Tennessee, which he crossed at Bainbridge terry
>n Monday and Tuesday last. No particulars whntev-
re are given, though we are inclined to think, from the
tenor of recent Aankee dispatches, .that he was not
very doselv pressed by Thomas, and infer that, with
the'exception of some stragglers and the severely
wounded, he has brought bis urn v out er.tiie. There
is little reason to doubt, also,that lie has lost a consid
erable portion of bis artillery, though this can easily lie
replaced. A few days, however, we hope will place ns
in possession of all tile particulars Altogether we can
but regard this as an illstarred campaign,though we feci

in again putting the broad Tennessee between himself .
and the enemy.— Appeal 1st.
Confederate Reserves—1177/ the Militia Fight l— If j
it ever was a mooted question, or one of doubt, as to the j

the gallant Georgia reserves have set that question at j

The Georgia Jlititiii.
A gentleman informs the Columbus Sun that “Gen.
Dick Taylor delivered by invitation an address last
week to the Alabama Legislature. In It lie scored
them soundly for their impotent militia bills, and asked
them why they could not. imitate the example of that
noble and hospitable State, Georgia. In Alabama the
militia of one county could not be ordered into another,
no matter how pressing was the emergency. If the
people of Alabama were resolved to do only'what the
law required, tiic e could result no good in calling them
out. Every party could be whipped ia detail. In
Georgia the Legislature called out alien masse,and the
people responded pobly, they had been led within the
boundaries of another Stale without murtimr or com-
I plaint, and he had seen them on the battle-field fighting
like veterans. In Ids sito. t speech lie was quite con;-
| plimentary to Georgia and her people, and very se-
j vere on the Alabama Legislature for their dilatory
j conduct.”
| Those who have ever been engaged in sneering at
the Georgia Militia— “./oc Itrmen's Pets," as the men
composing it have been maliciously termed, will not
| like to see the .complimen , paid them by the gallant
Taylok in the loregoing notice—especially that em
braced in the remark—"he had seen them on the baltlc-
fe/d /ighi tike cetera ii*. This will grate harshly on the
oars of many of the n, skulkers themselves, who have
attempted for political purposes andother personal con-
eiderations. but especiuliy to disparage Governor
Brown’s policy, to malign and ridicule tiie militia. Wo
wonder t! the Richmond Sentinel ever beared or
dreamed that the militia force of Georgia had been
fighting .“like veterans." AVe think not, and would
especially commend to its Editor the compliment paid
to it tied to Georgia, by one whose information and
person.-;! observation give him tin undoubted right to
pass judgment upon it.

EFFECTS OF SMOKliKG.
The water vapor of smoke is not injurious but j
the carbon in it settles oti the mucous membrane and j
irritates the throat. The narcotic effects of tobac-
co smoke, if received into the lungs, resides in tin
carbonic acid, the ammonia causes dryness, a bi-'
ting of the mucous membrane of the throat, and
an increased flow of saliva—experience familiar to
smokers. Absorbed into the blood, says Dr. Rich
ardson, it renders the fluid too thin, eausiug angu-
of the pass of one of the prisoners who had been
practicing the signature of tho command officer
until he had it almost perfect, tilled out a pass for
Womack, and with it he passed the guatd at the
entrance. He remained in New York city several
of their State—the old men and tiie boys have
gone—and have rendered signal and gallant ser
vice, in all the battles on our soil, from Keuesaw
to Savannah. But their patriotism has not been
bounded by State Lines. They crossed the Sa
vannah river, and upon the soil of our noble sis
ter, South Carolina, bore a conspicuous part in the
bloody fight, and are entitled to a large share of
the honors of the brilliant victory at Honey Hill.
On the other side of the State the brave Militia of
Troup, when tbe homes of our gallant neighbors
in Alabama wero being laid waste by tbe enemy,
patriotically responded to your call, and passed
into their sister State to meet the foe. Georgia
never failed to do her whole duty to her sisters,
and to the great cause, so dear to every patriot
heart.
Neither her enemies, nor the public journais,
which take pride in misrepresenting her can truth
fully deny, that she Las contributed her full share
to the armies of the Confederacy’, and that her

Tailing (he Right Ground,
The Secretary of War has endeavored to interfere
with h'une of the Militia of Gov. Clark, of Missietiippi,
biliary secretion and yellowness ot skin, quicken
ing and then reducing the action of the heart. In
young smokers it produces nausea. It is doubt
ful whether all these effects are to he traced to the
carbonic acid. If so, most of our mineral wa
ters, ao’freely drank, are dreadful poisons, instead
of being remedial agents as they are generally es
teemed. •
The empyreumatic substance seems to have lit
tle effect except in giving the peculiar taste to to
bacco smoke, aud afterawhile of making the breath
of smokers unbearable. "Nicotine is rarely ever
imbibed by the careful smoker,” says Dr. Rich
ardson. . It affects only those who snt ke segats
by holding them in the month, or dirty pipes
of this work.
At this time it stands in the light of a great na
tional work, for it is. aud will bo needed to ration
our troops in Virginia. It may and should be re
garded, also, as a work of great importance to
8uuth Western Georgia, as being an additional ami
important outlet to her immense surplus produc
tions.
To the city of Macon it is important as affor
ding additional facilities for conducting the rap
id increase of business, her capital and business
tart and energy may rightfully expectin the fu
ture.
Whether regarded, therefore, as commended by
interest or patriotism, there should be no delay in
.are much less hurtful than cigars. The best pipe
is a long clay pipe; next to this, the meerschatttn
is the most wholesome. Dr. Richardson says the
removing them from the State and putting them into 1 perfection of a pipe will be found iu a roemjscliaum
the Confederate service. Gov. Clark has taken a j bowl, an amber mouth piece and a clay stem. All
firm position in the matter, lie says he shall allow no
such thing to be done. lie is perfectly right. Tin
men are in the set vice fighting or ready to tight when
opportunity offers. That is ail that can be asked of
them. The Governor is doing ull in his pow er te pro
tect the property and lives of the citizens of the com
monwealth over which be presides. Under the cir-
euinstances that is all that can be asked of him. Aud
he will be very foolish indeed, if he allows the fighting
men of his State to be tr.kc-n elsewhere when she is iu
danger ol’being overrun and devastated.
It affords us much pleasure to notice that other Gov
ernors besides Gov. Brown are beginning to think that
States have rights—and what is better, appears to be
determined to maintain tiiose rights.
The Jackson Miseissippian gives the annexed version
of the difficulties referred to above :
AVe learn tlnit the Secretary of War has demanded
all State Troops between the ages of seventeen nod
fifty be mustered in as reserved troops under com
mand of Brig Gen. Brandon. Gov. C'laik we learn,
lius refused to turn them over, and there will be con
siderable skirmishing between tlie parties before the
matter ends. If the demand of the Secretary of War
is acceded to, a large number of agriculturist a will be
thrown in the field lor three years, and we fear that
such a policy would produce evil results for the State
and for ti,e country. It is impossible for a man to
serve two masters, and the State Troops enlisted and
sworn in under the laws of the State must preserve
their status until finally disbanded. We are willing to
admit that the Government has lost a considerable
number-of troops by the State organization, but a ma
jority of these troops never could have been reached
except for the State organization, aud they are now
saturated with oily matter. When absotbed, its i p Us hinjr the enterprise forward:
effects are injurious, such as palpitation of the r Messrs. Editors;—The enclosed letter contains j
heart, tremor and unsteadiness of the muscles, suggestions which should be published in order to ;
and great prostration. It will not, of itself, pro- r( .aeh more readiiy the ears of those who can act
duce vomiting; it is the bitter extract which is the
cause of this, imperceptibly swallowed and taken
into the stomach.
HOW TO SMOKE.
The method of smoking makes all the difference
in the world. Those who use the clean, long
pipes of clay—as did our old Knickerbockers—
feel only the effect of the gaseous bodies and the
free carbon. Wooded pipes, and pipes with glass
steins, are injurious. Uiga r s should never be smo
ked to the end, otherwise they are more injurious
than all. Dr. Richardson says they should be cast
aside as soon as one-ltalf is smoked, and altyays
smoked from a porous or absorbent tube. Pipes * of restoring communication with those sections.

to Jancsboro’, including all the engagements
around Atlanta. They accompanied Gen. Hood
on bis march through Alabama to tho Tennessee
river, when, prompted by his high sense of pro
priety, he ordered them back to their State. They
have since gone through the hard campagn from
Atlanta to Savannah, and bore an honorable part
in the battle of Iloney Hill. Probably no two
regiments in service have suffered greater loss up
on tho battlo field, within the same period of
time.
I have felt it duo to the other State Troops, that
1 should make this reference to their sufferings and
privations, while I acknowledge, with pride, the
noble conduct of the Militia of Troup.

My Dear Sir—Some knowledge of the wants cf
the people of Virginia, and recent observation of
tiie abundant supplies in South-western Georgia
and Alabama, have led me lately to reflect closely
upon the quickest and most practicable method
attempts at pipes to coudense the oil have thus
far-failed. Every smoker should be careful ot tbe
mauuer in which be smokes. A short foul pipe is
very unhealthy.
A Timely Invention.—There is now in success*
ful operation at the Confederate States Laboiato-
ry, in Richmond, a machine capable of turning
out three hundred and forty thousand percussion
gun caps in eight hours, filling and pressing them.
The tastest machine used in the JJnjted States, of
which we have any Knowledge, Is Wright's pat
ent, which only turns out thirty thousand in ten
hours. The champion Confederate machine, or
machines, as there are two of them—are capable
of turning out an amount of work by three hands
that formerly required one hundred and twenty
operatives. The inventor is Captain Wesley N.
Smith, commanding the Laboratory, whose skill,
perseveiance aud ingenuity first called into exis-
Thq result of my reflections,I am tempted, by the ;

The line of communication I propose is the Mill- ;
edgevilie Railroad.
The iron on this road is laid from Warrenton to j
Mayfield. The load bed from Mayfield to Mill'-j
edgevilie is graded—except a small quantity ot j
rock near Culverton, in Hancock county. This;
lock, Capt. Geo. Hazelb.urst, (now iu the Confed
erate service, and stationed at Columbus,) long
since informed me, will prove no obstacle, as it
does not increase tbe grade so much as to prevent
running over it.
The distance from Mayfield to Milledgeville is
36 miles.
The length of the Washington branch of the
Georgia Railroad is... 18 miles.
The length of the line of road from
Milledgeville to Eatonton is 21

ing opwaH.—'Lancaster S. C. Ledger.
And it this class of men—these bomb-proof,
stay at-home speculators, who want tbe war to
continue, that they may pile up Confederate,prom-
ises to pay. It is this class who assemble mass
meetings and condemn such patriots as Hon. Mr.
Boyce, and call upon them to resign their seats in
Congress. It is these men who denounce every
one in favor of pcaqg, aud do all in their cower to
defeat any measure that will settle our existing
difficulties honorably. If the government con
tractors and office holders who are in favor of tho
war—including high officials, Congress, and the
rest of them—could be forced into the ranks, the
war would end aj once. One Month's service, or
less, would effi the business. These defeaters of
peace negotiation, would become converts to tho
doctrine. They are perfectly willing every body
and every body’s wife’s relations should go to tbe
war, as long as they themselves escape the hard
ships of camp life.
