The first Kumber will contain the opening chapter of a sequel to that popular story, “The Young Ma- rocners,” and its successors will continue and complete its publication. We are satisfied Mr. ! and tlie jud giving them a good and interesting paper, and we renew our advice to the young folks to send him their names. The subscription price will be three dollars per copy, with reductions for clubs. Tiie Spirit of Riot.—Wherever the Radical emissaries have spoken in the South, the blacks have manifested at once the spirit of riot. The poor creatures, as in Richmond, Mobile and New Orleans, are not wholly guilty of the crimes commuted by them ; but their vile aud wicked advisers should be held partly respon sible before the law and in public opinion.— Yet if the negro permits himself thus to be used to accomplish the hatefui purposes of the enemies of peace and good government, he need not expect to go unpunished. If he seeks a conflict of races he must take the consequen : ces. The Southern people (white we mean) are anxious to live on good terms with all mankind, but they will not endure everything, and the day will come when the negro will be called to a reckoning for the outrages perpetrated in these peculiar times. If he will behave him self, we will be his friend ; but if he arouses our enmity, and prefers it to our friendship, the fool must abide his choice. Military rule will not endure always, and then the white man will be privileged to defend his rights. We do hope, however, that the emissaries will leave their work, and the blacks awaken to their true interest. All rests with them. designs starting a new paper in the interest of appear to gladden the Visions of men ; and so : the juveniles, which be promises shall be the j ^ !! ‘ : Mown in life, if lifonprity were even attendant upon and handsomest journal of its kind in the j presenter La the efforts ot man, his nobleness and giandeur j United States.

The present hour or year is not always.— There is a future of honor or dishonor for this people, and it will be as they deserve -After death then conies the resurrection, spiritually, to glory or infamy. So in the political wok’. after bayonets and military rule are withdrawn ' P,:ulce will do what he promises in the wav of there will be n review of the past, and the faithful will be rewarded, if not with office, at least with the consciousness of having done their duty. If the Georgia of the past must perish, ought our hands to inflict the wound? If her patriotic sons must be disfranchised, ought we to do the wrong ? If the ballot must be placed in the hands of the undeserving, ought Georgians do the act? If there is still further trials in store for us, it would be right in us to endure them as a people worthy of a better fate. When tlx; opportunity is afforded, register and be prepared to use your ballot aright. But do not bow-to the monster and become a wor shipper of the black idol of radicalism. Stand firm and watch closely the developments of the future, being determined to adhere to principle through evil as well as good repor^| We cannot resist the powers that be. We have neither the will nor the strength. Four years of war has satisfied us with strife, and the sword has been laid aside forever. Yet peace has its duties as well as war, and every right that is granted us we must so use as to preserve at least our self-respect, and save our posterity from the deep blush of shame, for our misdoings. Ex-President Davis. The writ of habeas corpus was duly served on Gen. Burton, commanding officer of Fortress Monroe, and in obedience to the instructions of the President, he obeyed it. On last Satur day morning Mr. Davis left his place of im prisonment hi charge of Gen. Burton, and ar rived in Richmond 5 1-2 o’clock p. m., same day. He was conveyed in a carriage to, the Spotswood Hotel. He remained at the Spots wood all day Sunday, no guard being placed over his movements, and he being allowed to enjoy the full liberty of the house. At 11 o' clock Monday Mr. Davis Was brought into Court and took a seat next to the prisoner’s box, with Gen. Burton and the Marshal. A servant accompanied him. Mr. Davis, sitting by an open window, remarked: “It is a little cold, isn’t it?” and he was then removed to a seat near his counsel in front. Gen. Burton’s return of the writ was received, aud the Judge complimented General Burton in obeying the laws, and relieved him of the custody of Mr. Davis. The Marshal immediately served on him a bench warrant to answer the Norfolk indictment. Mr. O’Connor spoke of Mr. Davis’ long im prisonment and feeble health, and asked that lie be bailed. There being no opposition upon the part of the prosecution, bail was fixed at one hundred thousand dollars. The Judge announced his readiness to accept the bail, stating at the same time that the responsibility of the delay in bringing Mr. Davis’ case into court, rested upon the government, and not upon the District Attorney. The United States District Court convened at Richmond, ou Monday. We annex a list of the Grand Jury, taken from the papers of that city, together with the extraordinary and dis graceful charge of Judge Underwood. GRAND JURORS.

Dear Herald: I’ve been in this city since Tues day, and of course have been incessantly at work. Several times have come to the conclu sion my legs and feet would fail—stop to rest, and the thought would occur to me, the poor people whom I represent need bread, and I must be up and doiu^;, and my strength would re turn. If I wear my legs to stubs, I guess the next Legislature of Georgia will make an ap propriation for a pair of wooden ones fo% me. On my way up from Nashville—where, by the way, I found the Relief Society without a do 1 - lar—I stopped at Elizabethtown, a very pleas ant town of a thousand or more inhabitants.— There was a branch of the Kentucky Relief Society there. They act solely, however, uuder the direction of the Louisville Society. I met gentlemen there who were in Newnan during the war, among whom were Col. Coffer, Capt. Bell, Major and Capt. Hewett. They have a lively remembrance of our little city. The people of that county have sent off many hundred busliol$ of corn for the destitute of the South. They had some forty or fifty sacks then on hand, and expect to complete a car load iu a day or two, and the very geutlemauly, gallant and polite Major Hewett, who is the Secretary of the Society of that county, said 1. \Ye admit that this court has no authori- I ty to control the action ot" the legislative or | executive departments, or to require either of ! them by any direct mandate to keep within ! the limits of the law. No matter how clear it j may seem to the Judges that an act of Congress j has been passed which violates the Consti- j tutiou, such an act does not of itself afford any I ground of appeal to this court. 2. We do not therefore complain that Con gress has passed an unconstit utional act; but we complain that the defendants in this bill have done and threatened to do certain things injurious to the plaintiff. If the defendants have not done those things, and disclaim the intention imputed to them, we will have no CclSC. 3. When the party to a cause justifies him self under an act of Congress or an Executive order, it becomes necessary for the Court to pass upon the constitutional validity of the legislative act or upon the legal effect of the order in question ; otherwige^the Court cannot administer justice het\i%gi flic'parties. In do ing this, the Court is not exercising political power, but simply performing its own plain du ty, which is entirely judicial. 4. That the decision* of the Court upon a question so raised may some times hive a, great moral influence on the exercise of power by the political departments,, is most true. But the parties in Court are not to be denied their prdper measure of justice because the in cidental effect of a just decision may be to pro mote the cause of public freedom. John Hamp den’s right to a legal decision in his case was not, in the slightest degree, impaired by the fact that such a decision would have saved the liberties of England. This Court decided Mil ligan’s case, although the order to discharge him involved a general declaration that Feder al officers could not hang their political oppo nents without a legal trial, aud thus greatly curtailed a much-coveted power. 5. But in order to give the Court jurisdiction there must be a real case between the parties properly in the forum, and the question must arise in the regular course of the cause, so that the rights of the parties cannot be ascertained without deciding it. G. In this case the State of Georgia brings her bill setting forth certain wrongs done, of threatened to be done, against her by the de fendants. The defendants avow their inten tion to do what is charged. But they assert their right to do it because Congress has pass ed an act commanding it to be done. The re ply is, that the act is wholly r.uli and void, be cause it is unwarranted and forbidden by the Constitution. What kind of a decree is requir ed for the purpose of doing legal justice to these parties depends upon the question wheth er the claim of the defendants to overturn the government of Georgia be legally well found ed or not, and that again depends on the con stitutional authority of Congress to pass the act which permits it. If, therefore, the Court will not decide the point of constitutional law,it must be either because the State of Georgia is incapable of bringing a suit, or because her rights are in no danger of being violated by the defendants, or else because the rights which she asserts ought not to bo protected by judicial authority. 7. But the State has an undoubted right to sue in her own courts or in the Federal courts. This is not denied and needs no argument to tired, and an appropriate address of welcome made by Mayor Chapman, to which Mr. Dixon replied. [Cheers.] Y r ou would not endanger the life of After thanking them for the reception, and ; the illustrious Underwood, would you?

And strangest of all, that this city of Richmond should be the spot of earth to furnish this gracious manifestation. Richmond the beautiful and abandoned seat of the rebel lion, looking as comely and specious as a good ly apple on a gilded sepulchre, where bloody treason flourished its whips of scorpions, Rich mond , where the slave trade so long held high carnival ; where the press lias tound the lowest depth of profligacy ; where licentiousness lias ruled until probably a majority of births were illegitimate or without the forms of law ; where the fashionable and popular pulpit had been so prostituted that its lull-fed ministering Lotha rios generally recommended worship of what they most respected—pleasure, property and power corresponding to the Ragan and mytho logical ideas of Baccnus, Mammon and Mars. “Gods, brutal, passionate, partial, unjust, Whose attributes were rage, revenge and lust. It was as if the fiends prevailed Against the seraphs they assailed, And fixed on heavenly themes should dwell. The freed inheritors of heil; So soft the scene, so formed for joy— So cursed the causes that destroy.” But we are reminded that where sin aliound- ed grace 111:13* much more abound.” Aud in the light of recent changes, may we not hope a material aud moral future for this city of Richmond in strong contrast with its awful atheistic gust, and in harmony with the salub rity of its climate, the poetic beauty of its sce ne!)', and the magnificence of its water power. 1 have sometimes feared that l>y the usages of this State, which have given the selection of juries to the sheriffs and marshals, or, in pro fessional language, have packed juries instead of drawing them from a box of names selected by other officers, as is done in most of the States, of the Union, there was some danger of getting indifferent persons upon the panel; but the care and rare judgment which our mar shals have always shown iu their selections prove my fears unfounded, and I am truly grat ified to find so many gentlemen of public and private worth upon the present jmy. We so often hear from treasonable sources around us charges of cruel acts passed by Con gress since the begining of the war—acts which you are called upou to enforce, that it is well, perhaps, for one moment to consider the utter if they would. Instead of being in a state of rebellion, they are really in a state of starva tion—and now they are held in complete sub jection under the military law, by five Gener als, without troops worth enumeration. Do such people need for their government a meas ure which sweeps out of existence all human rights ! Is it well for them, or for us, to be educated and accustomed to such despotic con trol ? But not to dwell upon what has been done permit me, fellow citizens, to glance fora rnu- meut at what it is now proposed by the men in power to do iu the future. Two measures are already proposed by them. The first is to ere ate a black part)* at the Bouth ; to embody in one organized mass the whole black race and in duce them to cas* their votes against the whites. The line to be drawn between parties is a line of color. Apparently to accomplish this dan gerous purpose, emissaries of distinction are now traversing the South. They limy possibly deny the purpose, but the certain effect of their teaching is this. What a horrible state of things, should they succeed! If not a war of races, a conflict of races would be certain to en sue, and the black race, as well as the white, would be cruelly injured—aud all for the pur pose of extending for a few years the lease of power now in the hands of the Disunion Radi cals. This is one of their measures which should be rebuked by the whole North, as it has virtually been at your recent Btate elec tion. The other avowed measure which is certain to be passed at the next session is the threaten ed legislation of Congress to control and shape the right of suffrage iu the Northern States.— Two bills have already been introduced into the Senate of the United States to establish what is called universal suffrage in the whole North, including Connecticut. One of these bills was introduced by Mr Sumner, the other by Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts' Do you say Mr. Sumner is a theorist—not practical ? But what will say of Mr. Wilson ? A more thor oughly practical man does not live. He attempts nothing wnich he does not believe he can car ry out. Both these Senators will push this measure to the utmost of their power. Both belive in the constitutional power of Congress to enact suffrage lawiffor Connecticut aud other States, So both have declared in debate in the Senate In my opinion they have it fair chance ... w , v red people of Richmond are j they cannot resist ( i e t er mix 1 ot.i to enter any bar-room, hotel, the - j Tim attention of Druggists, Merchants and others is invited to our large and elegant stock of atre, or street ear they may wish.” [Y'es, we will, Cheers.] The speaker said that a law would have to bo passed for Virginia as had beeii passed for Mas sachusetts. compelling hotel proprietors, &c., to allow the colored men equal privileges with the whites. [Loud cheers, and cries of, “That’s what \vc want here,” and, “We arc going to to have it here, too.] The speaker after this, retired and gave way ! . n , , 0 . ; for Hunnieutt, who commenced with a request | 1 trflllLOFitS, 1.0il6t Allll'lCS* &C., I that the reporters would, for once, report him Drugs, Medicines, Dye-Stuffs, Imported and American Fancy Goods, > correctly. But we preferred not to report him ! at all. for it was too hot and 'crowded where ■ we were to report anybody else. Bo we left lio- ! ping never again to attend a meeting so calcu lated to inspire evil forebodings as this. News in Brief- Ber- Mr. Wright, the American Minister at lin, died a few days since. There have been two negro 1 iots in Richmond lately. The blacks have threatened to force themselves into the Churches with the whites. All this is the natural result of Radical teach ings. There lias been a negro disturbance In New Orleans. The negroes took full possession uf a street car and cleared it of its white occupants. The New Orleans Radicals advocate negro po licemen, and there is strong talk of running a negro for Mayor. Gen. Stonewall Jackson’s colored nurse died at Jackson, Madison county, Term., at the age of one hundred and thirteen years, nine months and twelve days. . Only the Georgia injunction bill was dis missed on the 13th, for want of jurisdiction.— The Mississippi biil, amended to cover the Ar kansas case of Treasury seizure, will probably l>e argued on Friday.

The Con stitution makes Georgia a free State, and the act of Congress which requires her to be en slaved is an attempt to repeal the Constitution. The counsel for the defendants will admit that the ac t of Congress is unconstitutional; and if that be true, it is of no more force than if the place it occupies on the statute-book were a blank. The defendants are, therefore, guilty of a great injury against Georgia, and are com mitting it without the show or color of legal excuse. 9.

And yet we have seen a patriot statesman, venerable alike for his age and for the blessings of edu cation, culture, aud improvements he had con ferred upon his State and country ; a statesman greatly eminent among his fellow-legislators, and by common consent of successive Congress, acknowlged as a leader and father with a defer ence that neither Clay, Fox, the Pitts, nor ev en Cicero, had ever known, this noble man we have seen assailed with a bitterness and a falsehood peculiar to the authors of the rebel lion, its pimps and apologists—aud apologists for what ?
