friends are too shrewd to do any revolu
tionary act hereafter unless they have
undoubted color of law for their protec
tion. If any body rebels we will force
the Radicals to do it. This however docs
cot deprive ns of the means of rendering
this abotninahle bill inoperative. In the
first place the President is strongly op
posed to it, and as J udges in all ages oi
the world in thnes of excitement, have
sided with the Executive, we may reason
ably eipect that the Supreme Court of
the United States will declare it uncon
stitutional, for two reasons, it contains
provisions'll) direct conflict with the Con
stitution, and the Representatives of
eleven States were wrongfully excluded
from their seats and dcuied a voice in its
passage. Such a decision would tleprne
it of vitality. But grant that the Courts
pronounce it constitutional, still the
President is armed with the pardoning
powor, and oAn pardon every person cou-
victed under it, and thereby render it of
no effect. Should the President think it
proper however not to do this, there must
be prosecutors and informers before there
can be any infliction of punisment, and
wo think we know the Southern people
well enough that in a thousand lawful
ways they will make the land too hot for
such characters- Our Legislators have
already given the negroes the benefit of
•ll laws for the protection of person and
property, (in fact given them all the legal
rights this bill proposes to confer upon
them.) and our people arc determined to
osrry them out in good faith, and think
that all Federal laws passed, it matters
not for what pretended purpose, cal
culated to eanse strife and discord bo-
twocu the two races, oppressive and will
vfithcr and blast Vith their frowns those
.who aid ill their enforcement. This peo
ple will not resort to violence, yet by
the laws governing society a power is
gives its member* to annoy and harrass
ip many ways those who arc justly ob-
noicious.
I11 the first place there was no necessity
for passing this bill, for the beloved of
the Radicals, arc fully and amply protect
ed ; and in the second place after it is
passed it will be rendered in operative in
■one or another of ways suggested above.
The Radicals themselves care very little
about this particular measure, and passed
it merely because it is a part of their
great programme of negro suffrage, negro
equality, and Southern degradation.—
These cold-blooded, calculating fiendish
men would pass any bill, it matters not
bow obnoxious or unconstitutional, pro
vided it would in the least advance their
grand scheme. They are greatly disap
pointed at the failure they have made in
their efforts to confiscate our lands and
would ijfjight to 800 our P c °pl° resisting
with violence any of their abominable
measures, because they would make it a
pretext for renewing their efforts at con
fiscation. On the whole we are of the
opinion that the people of the South need
not be greatly disturbed at this overiding
of the President's veto. Still it this bill
b« enforced in all its rigor, yet we most
exercise patience and euduraucc, for our
enemies arc ecekiug pretexts for further
persecutions, and prudence on our part
may defeat their designs and bring us
out triumphant in the cod.

Our Soldiers’ Grave Yard.
April 9th, one year ago to day, a nation’s
hopes were entombed, the idol we had
chcrised for four long eventful years was
hurried from our sight, the strong arms
of the Southern soldier were over-come,
and they in bitterness and anguish made
to acknowledge themselves a conquered
people. Not in degradation did they
yield, like each virtue which hath its own
reward, they felt conscious of having done
their whole duty, and that they
“ Were in the cause of right engaged
Wrongs injurious to redress ;
Honor’s war they strongly waged
But the Heavens denied success.”
While many gallant men who knew no
such word as fear, who had braved death
on different battlefields, who had suffered
all that human nature was capable of en
during and were willing to do even more,
to suffer on to the hitter end, yes, to yield
life itself, if need be, in a cause they
deemed sacred, stood and wept in the face
of a triumphant foe. Many brave-spirits,
who began the struggle with hearts filled
with pride and hope, heard not the ago
nizing wail of their surviving, disappoint
ed comrades j they had passejl away, had
died at dutys post, many‘believing that
liberty, heaven’s brilliant gift, was almost
within their grasp. Bravo, gallant men,
we will cherish their noble deeds as long
as memory has a resting place ip the
hearts of a grateful people, and to their
silent, unmarked graves we love to go and
weep, plant flowers, and water them with
affection’s tears; for what, but thesin-aton-
iug blood of Christ, is as dear to us as
they who sacrificed their lives in onr de
fense ? For as they left horn* with all
its comforts, bade adieu to kind and in
dulgent parents, pressed the fond kiss of
affection upon the lips of a devoted wife,
took the prattling little boy, the pride of
his soldier heart, upon his knee, then
buckling his sword around him went forth
to meet these loved ones no more. I hey
fell where the brave ever fall, with faces
confronting the foe, and to-day the hill
tops, the mountain side3 and valleys of
our once happy but now desolate South,
arc covered with them, in many instances,
obscure graves. Virginia, the “mother
of States and Statesmen,” entombs thous
ands whose bravery challenged the admi
ration of the world, and whose lives were
freely given that their country might live,
that the cause held dear by every true
Southern patriot might be perpetuated.
Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florada, Ala
bama, and our beloved Georgia have
many graves entrusted to their keep
ing. A stroll to the Cemetery of almost
every Southern city or village brings us
to the spot, “where sleep the brave,” and
as we stand above them and muse upon
their heroic valor which knew no rival,
rumors of wars,” shall be no more.
A few steps away 3nd we stand by the
grave of some who lived in our own midst,
whom we knew in peace and prosperity
before war’s desolation bad sweptover us
Capt. Thomas J Pinson, who went ; t
once in response to his country’s call,
waving a final farewell with thi flowers
given him by some fair friend, went to re
turn nomore. He was called tofightbutone
battle on earth, his work was soon over,
his mission ended. Ca|Jt. George Burch,
who went from among us years ago re
turned to us cold in death, and to-day
fills an honored Soldier’B grave. Here
too lies the joys of an absent Mother’s
heart, Joel and Harris Thurmond. Scarce
had they ceased to play around that fond
Mother’s knee till she was compelled to
give them to a suffering country. Noble
sacrifice! Augustus Allen a kind and
dutiful son, willingly gave his life blood
for his native South, and in his death we
are again reminded that “whom the god’s
love die young,” Col. Thomas J. Berrv,
sleeps near by. Having survived the lib
erties of his country, he came home to
die after fully discharging his duties as a
soldier. A few steps farther and the
name of Maj. M. S. Nall’s greets us, he
too was a brave man whose country 3 in
terest filled his heart. In him a wife
has given up a kind Husband, and the
pride of a widowed Mother’s heart has
been taken away.
Follow us a few steps onward, and wc
stand above the grave of one whose stay
on earth was-made happy by all the er -
dearmrnts of home, yet, for his native
land he died—Ktheldrid Rainey. And
yet another sacred spot claims our atten
tion, step lightly, speak softly, ’tis the
grave of a hero, ’tis liberty’s mound.—
Maj. Meredith Kendrick, than whom no
purer patriot aver drew a sword, rests from
his labors, and the noble deeds that char
acterized him in life will live as long
as memory hold6 a resting place in the
hearts of patriots. Brave Southern Sol
diers, this is the requiem we sing for you,
your sepulchres aro in the hearts of the
women ot the South, and your Monu
ments, not the marble which the children
of vanity rear, but the tears of the Sou
thern people.

Death of Gen. John H. Morgan.
An authentic Account of that Event—He is
Shot Twenty minutes after he had Surender-
ed to the Federal Troops.
BT AS *YB W1TXEB1.
[From the Columbus, (Ohio), Crisis.]
Happening to have been present at the
death of General J. H. Morgan, I have
concluded to send you a few memoranda
of that and its accompanying events. I
accompanied the expedition into Tennes
see made for the purpose of driving back
General Gillem’s brigade of Federal cav-
alrv. We arrived at Greenville early in
the evening of the 3d of Sept., 1864.—
Greenville is distant from ‘Bull’s Gap
(Gen. Gillem’s position) nineteen miles.
The General established his headquarters
at th2 house of Mra. Williams, in the
town of Greenville. His own brigade
was sent on the road leading to Rogers-
villc, for the purpose of getting forage,
and a detachment of Tennessee cavalry,
six hundred strong, was ordered under
memory too, with scorpion stings brings : Colonel Bradford, to encamp on the road
before us things too heart-rending to dwell
upon, scenes which make the heart grow
sick; the thought here comes upon us,
why was it that the cause we believed so
just was lost! Why was it that the
flower of our oountry, the good, the brave,
the useful gave their lives for naught ?
Why, with all the pride and chivalry with
which our warriors entered the list, were
leading toward the enemy. This force
was not increased because a large number
of horses could not be foraged in that di-
ection. The country between Greenville
and the Gap is hilly, and wild, and very
poor. Gen. Gillem stated afterwards thai
he received information of the status of
affairs about Greenville at half past nine
of that night. He immediately moved
they to bo vanquished with overwhelming ! his command in the direction of Green-
numbers ! Why were we to be ruined
in fortune, and in poverty and desolation
made to mourn the terminus of the terri
ble revolution through which we have
j ust past! Was it that we wore the
Babylonish garment concealed ! Was it
that we were the Achan ! Did we cling
to the fieehpots i “These to us are myste
ries that must remain unveiled till the

ville; when about five miles from town
he halted and sent a detachment through
the woods, and succeded in getting on
the fiank of Bradford's command; be
drove him (Bradford) back from the road,
leaving it open to Greenville. A datach-
rnent of four companies of the 13th Ten
nessee cavalry was then sent forward to
charge the town. They met with no re-,

thief.’’ When Gen. Gillein gave us per
mission to go and attend to Gen. M. s
body, wc found it lying in the road, about
one mile from the place where it had been
shot, ll was so covered with mud that
we could scarcely recognize it. The ball
struck the centre of the breast, about
three or four inches below its junction
with the neck, and came out behind the
left hip bone. He met his death as he
met his foes a thousand times before;
there was no shrinking—not a quiver of
a nerve—though he saw murder in that
brawny felon’s eye. Kentucky will yet
be proud of John Morgan—of his gallant,
dashing life and fearless death.^ And
in the “ land of sun and bowers ” long
will his deeds be the theme of “song and
story ” The man who shot him was
named Campbell, of Co. G, 13th Tennes
see Cavalry. He was promoted to a lieu-
tenacy for his bravery on this occasion.
At Knoxville the staff officeis were
locked up in iron cages, in a jail, whose
windows had neither glass nor sash.
They had neither change of clothing, nor
overcoats, nor blankets. They were per
mitted to go into the prison yard in the
the day time, and they had a dead line
there.
We found at Knoxville several officers
and men of Morgan’s command, who had
been taken two weeks before us. They
told us' that the soldiers who captured
them said that they had orders not to take
Gen. Morgan aliv«.
After this it was rumored that the sol
diers of Gen. Morgan’s command refused
to take as prisoners of war men belong
ing to the 13th Tennessee cavalry. Gen.
Gillem sent a communication, under a
flag of truce to Gen. Breckinridge on this
subject, complaining that some members
of the Thirteenth had been killed, and
stating that he supposed it was done in
retaliation for the “ reported,” murder of
Gen. Morgan. He stated that General
Morgan had been killed in a fair fight,
and enclosed a copy of a note from Capt.
Rogers, of Gen. Morgan’s staff, in answer
to one from him inquiring into the cir
cumstances of Gen. Morgan's death.—
(Rogers was then a prisoner in General
Gillem’s hands.)
At the bottom of this note was written,
“ A true copy. A. C. Gillem, Brig.
General.” When Gen. Breckinridge af
terward attacked and routed Gen. Gillem,
we captured his headquarter’s desk and
private papers, among which was the orig
inal note of Capt. Rogers, altered and
amended to read as the copy Gen. Gillem
sent to General Breckinridge, and very
different from the said copy. These pa
pers are still in existence.
Washington, April fi.—-At one o’clock
the Senate took up the Civil Rights bill.
Mr. Wade contended against the policy
of the President.
Mr. Lane responded to some personal
remarks of Mr. Wade.
Mr. Doolittle wished the Civil Rights
bill could be placed in charge of the Ju
diciary Committee, to frame an unobjec
tionable one to members of Congress and
the President, as he (Doolittle) was de
sirous of preserving amicable relations
between Congress and the Executive;
although he had received instructions
from his delegation to vote for the bill,
he should not do so.
Mr. Davis oppossed the bill favoring
the veto. He said if the bill became a law
he should feel compelled to regard him
self an enemy of the Government, and
to work for its overthrow.
Mr Saulsbury said he should consider
the passage of the bill as inaugurating
treason, and would lead to bloodshed, war
and disunion.
Mr. Yates urged the Senators to move
forward in the performance of their duty
and do it now and hereafter.
The vote was then taken, shall the bill
pass, the President's veto to the contrary
notwithstanding.

Carroll County Grand Jury Present
ments.
We the Grand Jnrors, selected and sworn for
the April Term of the Superior Court of Carroll
county, make the following as our General
Presentments.
Through appropriate committees we have
looked into the various county interest: but
owing to the press of other business, and the
shortness of time allowed, we have not caused
to be made as thorough and searching investi
gation in some particulars as was desired.
We find the flooring of some of the lower
rooms of the Court house decayed; and we
respectfully urge the Inferior Court to hate
this and other needed repairs promptly atten
ded to.
We find the county Jail totally unsafe as a
prison ; and it is a matter of great moment in
this day of crime, that criminals after arrest
and commitment should be arraigned befere
and tried, and punished by the court*. V e
therefore respectfully ask the Inferior Court to
have the jail speedily repaired. We believe
the amount required for this purpose will be
cheerfully paid by the people. The law should
b.e a'terror to all evil doer3 and this can never
be the case until the officers of the law have
the aid of a safe and secure prison.
In view of the present condition of the com tv
we would not advise the levying of a tax for
educational purposes for the present year.
We also recommend the Inferier Court to
take into consideration the propriety of 1. vy
ing such per cent, on the State tax as will bo
necessary for discharging the indebtedness
of'the county and such other expenses as may
be necessary for repairing buildings, bridges,
Ac., Ac.
We further recommend the Inferior Conrt to
take steps to have a bridgeerected over Snakes
Creek on the road leading from Moore’s Ferry
to Villarica by way of ThompkiDSville.
We having been informed that the road
loading from. Cedar Town to Columbus by way
of Bowdon has been obstructed in the town of
Bowdon, near the Methodist Church, we re
commend the proper authorities to have said
road opened.
We find the books of the Ordinary, Clerk of
the Superior Conrt and County Treasurer
neatly and correctly kept. We regret to find
that ft. Asbury, late Clerk of the Inferior Court
has failed to make any record of his actings
and doing while in office for two years past.
We find in his bands, upon examination of
retailers bonds that he has received the sum
of S"3.25, for which he has no record.
We recommend the following named persons
a3 a committee to examine into the public
Books and finances of the county and report
the same to the Grand Jury, in the October
Term of the present year; P. G. Garrison, W.
W. Merrell and B. M. Long.
The Roads we find in many portions of
the county are in a bad condition; and we
call upon the proper authorities to have the
roads put in a good condition at as early a day
as possible.
In taking leave of his Honor, L. H Feather-
ston, we return him our thanks for the courte
sy shown our body; and for the able and im
partial manner in which he has discharged his
official duties.
We also return our thank3 to Capt. Joseph
Blance, Soi’r. Gen., for his courtesy, and the
respectful manner in which he has discharged
his official duties.
We request that a copy of our Presentments
be furnished “ Newnan Herald,” for publica
tion.
