Not the First Time.
The present is not the first time the New
Englanders have threatened the President of
the I'nitcd States with impeachment. During
the war of 1*12, so bitterly did they oppose it,
that they refused to loan money on Govern
ment securities—traded with the Canadians
despite of law—threatened to secede—to im
peach James Madison, exile him to Elba, « In
Napoleon, «>r give him the halter it be did not
conclude peace on British terms. Madison did
not accede to their demands, and they did not
impeach, exile nor hang him.
So will it he during the next Congress. An
drew Johnson will not become a Radical, nor
will the Radicals attempt to impeach or depose
him. James Madison defied their threats and
saved the country. Andrew Johnson will do
the same thing. The New Englanders must
think the Southern people do not know their
history, and ran he made to bow the knee eve
ry time they look ugly. Never were they
worse mistaken. New England would do well
to learn now. if shclms never learned it la-fore,
that we are not going to swallow the constitu
tional amendment. Nor are we afraid they
will depose the President and foist a Radical
n[M>n ns. We are well aware that we could
make terms to-morrow if we would give you
a fee simple title to all the offices of the nation.
But we will not do that either. Then cease
your folly and let the Union be reconstructed,
for you will not receive compliance "dtli your
demands by ddav.
The Baltimore Difficulty.
We announced in our last, the removal of
the Police Commissioners by Gov. Swann on
November 1st. The day after James Young
and Wra. T. Valiant were appointed new Com
missioners. On the 2d and od excitement ran
high iu Baltimore, and on the latter day a
regiment of troops were sent there. On the
same day the Radicals held a meeting and bit
terly denounced the Governor, and the new
Commissioners went to the headquarters of
the old, and handed them a written demand
for the premises, &c. That afternoon the new
Commissioners were arrested on a bench war
rant issued by Judge Bond, on a charge of at
tempting to break the peace; and upon refu
sing to give bail in tho stun of twenty-five
thousand dollars, they were committed to jail.
Sheriff Thompson was also committed.
The new Commissioners immediately peti- ,
tioned for a writ of habeas corpus, but under j
the law of Maryland tho Warden of the Jail {
has three days in* which to make his return.
On'the 5th an establishment containing one
hundred and fifty boxes of firearms and am
munition was seised by the police. Resistance
was offered to the seizure, and one man was
shot, aDd before the return of the Warden,
Gen. Grant, acting in his private capacity,
made propositions for a compromise. The
following dispatch gives an account of the
settlement of tSf*Baltimore difficulty:
Baltimork, Nov. 5.—After a conference fast
ing tip to 10 o’clock to-night, between the
Police Commissioners and a committee repre
senting the Conservative party, with a view to
the latter naming- one judge and one ek:k to
be appointed by the Commissioners for each
precinct according to the agreement made at
the conference with Gen. Grant, the Conser
vative committee abandoned Hie whole matter,
and withdrew without making a nomination
tothe police board: thus the list of jhdgcs
and clerks stand as at the Maror’s election.
Convincing.—As Radicalism rises the coun
try sinks, and as the country rises Radicalism
sinks. After every success of the President’s
friends, commerce revives; after every success
of the Radicals, commerce wanes. Ought not
these facts to convince the world that Radi
calism is wrong?
Tiir. C'orrTY Colut. Peveral bills have been
introduced already to abolish this Con**, but
Milledgeville correspondents are agreed iu the
opinion that the General Assembly is disjxwed
to give it another year's lease of life, ln-lieving
that the time that has elapsed since its organi
zation has not been sufficient to test the ques
tion of its usefulness and inutility. The act
creating it may. nevertheless, be amdeded.
Cowcta Reai. K??r.“T£.—According to the re
port of the Comptroller General, tlie number
of acres of land returned in I860 in Coweta
county, was 332,379, number in I860 was 338,-
*»o7—increase 0,578. The aggregate value in
1800 was $2,415,005, in 1800 $5)48.514—a de
crease of $1,400,557- The average value in
1800 was $7 23 per aero, in 1800 $2 70.

Legislative—Senator Turner’s Resolu
tions.
We clip the following from the Legislative
proceedings of November 3d.
Mr. Turner—A bill to repeal Section 940 and
amend Section 941 of the Code.
Mr. Turner also offered the following pream
ble and resolutions :
Whereas, Since the last session of the < ice-
era! Assembly, unforeseen occurences has trans
pired, in the dispensation of an All-Wise L’ovi-
denee, in that He has parched our fields and
blighted our crops and the holiest and never
more honest efforts of the husbandman have
been very unsuccessful: and. whereas, the [h?o-
ple of tlie State liave Im-c-u in great fear lest
creditors should, with the strong arm of the
law, seize the little propVrty ro’fiiainiug since
the disasters of the war; and, whereas, further,
tliis fear has caused the [ample of many coun
ties to assemble iu relief meetings, to give ex
pressions to their Wishes and hidinations, and
also to instruct their legislators in regard to
their desires and,necessities, which rs eminent
ly legitimate: be it. therefore,
Resolved by the Gen’eral AssertfiiTy, That the
unfortunate condition’ of the p'eoote fully ap
preciated by their rep'ro-entaffeoS. , (
Resolved, That it is tire Peiisc of the'Legisla
ture that tire rights arid interests of both debtor
aud efeditor slruirhl be equally protected, and
ff.ht while the debtor should keep' sacred his
contracts, tbe Creditor should Cot in the present
impoverished condition of the country, force to
sale the property of the p<H>r. but honest, man,
and earnestly recommend that Kith classes of
citizens act in the spirit of the golden rule of
doing unto others as they would wish that
others, under similar circumstances, should do
unto them.
Resolved, That the General Assembly would
enact if and adjourn. Experience bus convin
ced me there is more danger of too much than
too little legislation. Let us do but little, and
and do that little well.
Not being perniitten to participate actively
in your deliberations, pardon a suggestion or
two ujk>u the duties of the session. Guard
well, with proper safeguards, those Trojan hor
ses that enter this hall—the many applications
for chartered privileges. Encourage, by whole
some provisions, manufacturing in your State.
Elevate to the dignity of their claims the me
chanic arts. Rebuild your waste places by en
couraging the emigrant to settle in your midst ;
bind him to the soil by the ties of a homestead :
welcome him by repealing all laws on your
statute 1 moks that deny him the privilege of
owning the soil he would reclaim by hisenergy
and his industry. Encourage from every quar
ter capital and IalK>r. and Georgia, under these
wholesome influences, will soon elevate her fal
len crest, business will again revive, commerce
will no longer languish, our granaries will In
filled with the products of our fields, our mines
will enrich us with their bidden treasures, and
our people revived and re-energized, will l>e
made to feel “there is life in theold State yet.”
These are some of the duties of the session.
The fields of O’V labors arc ripening with their
products—M rrt enter aud gather for our people
the inviting harvest.

'Hie only enemies, therefore, to our peace
and Security here are the little petty bands of

all other Spanish countries, yet, up to this time,
our village has not had a visi t from one of these,
and as our neighbors increase in population the
greater becomes the certainty of our perfect
freedom from danger or annoyance from this
quarter.
We have deemed it proper to make this plain
statement of f.icts to such person, if there be
any, who are disposed to east their fortunes with
us and make Mexico their home. And in con
clusion. we say to you, if you come to Mexico,
come with funds sufficient to support you until
a.crop can be made, and come with an earnest
fesdlve to go to work upon a soil that will re
spond to tlie well directed efforts of the hus

bountifully as that of any land or country on

()ne of the editors of the Macon Telegraph,
just returned from Milledgeville, exjiresses the
opinion that repudiation will find no favor with
tbe Legislature, and that, while that hodv is

recently stated in the papers of that country,
on the authority of one of those veracious
Cofr'espbflUcnt^ that this village had been
sacked and burned, and a large majority of jts
inhabitants carried off as prisoners by the Ld»-

So far from this being true, there has never
been a hostile foot within the limits of our
quint little village since the beginning of its
settlement. The village and the colonists who
have settled around it, have been free from
acts of hostility from all quarters, and have

and cultiVatjbn'of their respective places with

The Iron Crown of Lombardy—r-the rusty

Now that the Italians hate got Venice,they,
like Oliver Twist, are asking for more. They
will have no rest until the Eternal- City be

AKomance—Truth Stranger than Fic
tion.
It occasionally happens that an event occurs
in real life ;is romantic as if produced
by the conception of a writer of fiction.
One of these is transpiring now in this
citv. Eighteen years ago, in the city ot Ixm-
don, when the parties were both young, a gen-j
tleman addressed a lady. For some reason his
suit was rejected, and in ft short rime the lady
married another,gei11!cn*an.. ’l licy emigrated
to America and settled, in this city. A fi*w
veal's since the huskind died and left los wite
ii widow. Since that time she has supported
herself, and won the respect of a large circle of
faiends and acquaintances. After her mar
riage the gentleman vTib first addressed her
also married. He remained in London. Some
twelve months since his wife died, and he be
came a widower.
- It appears that he had not forgotten li is first
love, and a letter with a foreign post-mark,
directed to Mrs. , if living, reached this
post office. It was advertised, anil was receiv
ed by the lady to whom it was addressed. Its
purport was to ascerstain, first, if she mils still
living, and if so, what her condition was ;
whether still married or a widow. She replied
informing the gentleman that she was still
alive and a widow. In a short time she re
ceived another letter, renewing the rejected
suit of eighteen years "ago, and inclosing a pho
tograph of the writer, iii order that she might
see the changes that time had wrought in him.
She, evidently satisfied with his personal ap
pearance, ami not forgetting eighteen years of
constancy, returned a favorable answer.
This gentleman immediately embarked for
America, and on reaching New York went to
the West attend to some business in that quar
ter. At Chicago he was taken sick, not ill,
but too sick to travel. The lady was notified
of his arrival, and of the cause ihat detained
him from coming on immediately to the city.
A correspondence is commenced, and the lady is
informed that the gentleman is convalescing,
and will lx herein a short time. It is arrang
ed that the marriage is to take place on the
gentleman’s arrival hereafter which the happy
couple will depart immediately for London,
the home of their childhood and early love.

Presentments
Of the Grand Jury of Carroll Superior
Court, October Term, 18UG.
We, the Grand Jurors, sworn and empaneled
for the Oetolnir Term of the Superior Court of
Carroll county, beg leave to submit the follow
ing as our General Presentments:
Through" our respective committees we find
the folio whig facts to exist:
Tlie Jail is considered secure and well k<q>t.
The Court House needs some repairs; but we
find that the Inferior Court is making every
effort that the limited amount of funds in the
County Treasury will admit of to repair it.
We find some of the public roads well worked
and in good condition ; but- as a general tiling
are in very Kid order, and we respectfully and
earnestly request the Inferior Court to liave
them put in good order as early as practicable.
We sire jdeased to find the books of the Su
perior and Inferior Clefks and Ordinary are
kept in a neat aiul legible manner, very much
to the credit of the officers.
We find In the luufdsof th<? lY&’idircr $25 58
received, while l?e has [rahl out $233 52, which
leaves the county indebted to him' $207 1)4.—
We also find his books kept in good and legible
style.
In view of the short crops made in our coun
ty. and the depressed condition of our people,
and the uncertainty of our future prosjx-rity,
we earnestly and respectfully recommend our
next Legislature to use all the power consistent
with the Constitution for the rqlicf of our peo
ple, especially the widows and' ofipliaus of the
maimed and deceased soldiers.
The needy of our county are very numerous,
and those who are poor need all the assistance
they can get: ami even with all the help that
can be extended to them by a generous Legis
lature, ive very much fear they will be coxn-

Corn.—The price of the staff of life has
risen largely during the last ten days. Oar
merchants are not chargeable with the rise.—
The western farmers and merchants have re
ceived such gloomy reports from our grain
crops that they think there is not an ear of
corn iu any southern crib: hence they have
concluded to make the calculation and to di
vide out among themselves every dollar we
have received or will receive for our cotton.
You are mistaken, gentlemen, and- yon will
have to roost on lower limbs yet. A good
wheat and oat crop will place our people on
their feet again, and you may be forced to
burn your corn as fuel for want of a market.
The fertile soil of the South—under the bles-
eings of Providence—will yield enough to fee
our population and to spare. From this hour
let every agriculturalist resolve tbat in future
he will ‘'raise" enough corn to do him, and
then ail the cotton possible. Let tln?ir motto
be—Corn first. Cotton afterwards.
