Hence the act will become the law of the land. What will be the consequences ? ill anything like war or bloodshed fol low this action, of Congress? By no means. The 8#HL*m people and their 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.

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. - - Victim. 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 we shall see th 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-, The square on which Mrs. W.’s . become a law. 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.

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.
