We have often doubted the existence of signs
which portended the approach of the Millen
nium, but after reading the above order was
rather disposed to change our opinion and
view ii as a genuine sign. There cannot be any
doubt that it portends good and only good,
and that for a thousand years to come so far as
Georgia, Alabama and Florida are concerned.
Who does not rejoice at Pope’s removal?—
lie has worked for the interest of party and
not the country—has violated the laws and
Constitutions of the States of his District, and
even the wicked intent and spirit of the Siier-
man Shellabargcr bill. His acts have been
those of a tyrant, and his whole record is one
of infamy and will be remembered on!)’ to the
disgrace of its author. That he has gone from
our midst we are truly rejoiced, but in advance
tender our heartfelt sympathy to the commu
nity to whom lie may be sent. His future
neighbors should “go into mourning,” for
their calamity will be great and throw a dark
cloud over their prospects.
We will not speak in praise of Gen. Meade
until his policy is developed. There is one
fact, however, of which we are cognizant that
induces us to believe that Meade is all right.
About two months ago President Johnson
wished to remove Gen. Pope, and selected Gen.
Meade as his successor, but Gen. Meade asked
to be excused, as he believed the whole rec. n-
struction scheme of Congress unconstitutional,
and did not wish to have anything to do with
it. ' The President delayed Pope’s removal,
and we suppose finally secured Gen. Meade’s
consent to act in the capacity of District Com
mander. These things being true, and we
have no doubt on the subject, the people of the
Third District may well thank the President
for a change of Commandejs.

Our Cotton brought so little in the market

Many of them are without employment nor
will they get any very probably, hence they
will have to resort to various means—some

' crowded, and our criminal courts will tax and

will see to the rigid enforcement of our vagrant
laws. In another article, I hope to say more

Politician or Laborer.
The year 18C8 will be one of unusual political
excitement, and farmers, previous to contract
ing with freedmen, should inform themselves
on the question whether the negro intends to
bo a politician or laborer. If a politician, let
him receive the wages of a politician ; if a la
borer, then the wages of a laborer. The own
ers of farms cannot afford to pay as laborers
those who spend their days in talking politics
and their nights in attending Leagues, and
the negro should be thoroughly and correctly
informed of this fact. It is true lie is a free
man and lias the right to talk politics in the
day and attend League meetings at night, pro
vided he is wasting Ids own time. But he has
no right to contract to labor for another and
then do these things. At least an understand
ing on this subject caunot result in any harm.
On Time.
The body self-styled “Georgia State Conven
tion,” is a credit concern. The failure to get
fimdsigavc.it a fatal blow, and we apprehend its
libors, after re-assembling on the 8th, will he
brief. Hotel keepers will be too urgent for
payment of hotel bills to permit a long sojourn
m the Gate City. Moreover, there is no pros
pect that the members of the Menagerie will
ever fie paid. The Comptroller General and
Executive cannot recognize any ordinance it
may pass imposing a tax upon the people of
this State for the payment of per diem. We
apprehend also an effort to issue and sell the
bonds of the State would not bring in any
money. Hence all tlic work done by members,
secretaries and assistants will be on a credit
co-existent with eternity.

Newnan, January 1st. 1868.
Dear Herald—The death throes of 18G7,
were extremely agonizing. The old year
seemed lesolutely determined to strugle with
the onward march of time’s even moving
wheels, in the vain attempt to continue its
reign; but the inexorable decree had gone forth,
that it must die, and when effort was no longer
available, like a hero, of an hundred hard
fought battles, when compelled to surrender
his sword, it lay down and wept, and its tears
were frozen into its winding sheet. The scenes
of oppression tyrany and high handed misrule
of that year have been recorded in the great
book of the past, and many of them in hearts
of the beggarded and down trodden people of
South. But still they writh under the tortnes
of a relentless despotism. The light, however,
thank Heaven if we mistake not, is breaking
according to the laws of nature—in the East.
A gray streak of the approaching dawn is dis-
cernable in tlic proper direction, and though
its approach is slow, we -think the watchman
may with safety say, “The morning comoth!
The hours may seem long, nut they are mov
ing on. Time is essential for the full develop
ment of the great political problem which is
now being solved by the American people. We
of the South, are most interested in its solu
tion. And if there were no cowards, no knaves,
no tories, among us, w ho are willing to sacri-
fii e right and barter their own and the liberty
of a high settled and generous people for a few
misserafile messes of Radical potage, we would'
put an eternal quietus upon the demands of
the infamous conclave at Washington. Indeed,
if we are true to ourselves and the glorious
memories of the past, and will work like men,
we can defeat ilia nefarious designs of the rad
icals North and the cue miscreants and renegades
South.
This communication was not begun however,
for the purpose of discussing our political status.
TLe Removal of Secretary Siantcn.
THE PRESIDENT’S- REASONS THEREFOR
Bv the last mails from the North we have
received the communication of President John
son to the Senate giving his reasons for the
removal of Secretary Stanton.
The communication opens with the suspen
sion of the Secretary, and the orders issued to
that effect. The President says:
“Prior to the date of this suspension, I had
come to the conclusion that the time had ar
rived when it was proper Mr. Stanton should
retire from my cabinet. .The mutual eonfi
deuce and general accord which should exist
in such relation had ceased. 1 suppose that
Mr. Stanton was well advised that his contin
uance in the cabinet was contrary to my wish
es, for I had repeatedly given him so to under
stand by every mode short of an express re
quest that he should resign.”
Then follows the President’s note to the
Secretary, requesting his resignation, and the
reply in which that officer refused to resign
until the meeting of Congress. The President
considered the reply as a defian e, and goe3 on
to say that Mr. Stanton declared that he held
the office unwillingly, and that he had lost
cot faience in the President, and therefore con
siderations of duty compelled him to retain
office until the meeting of Congress.
The President found no law by which he
was prevented from removing the Secretary,
sft' e the Tenure of Office bill, and this did not
prevent resignations. Of Mr. Stanton’s first
opinion of this bill he says:
“This is not the first occasion in which Mr.
Stanton, in discharge of a public duty, w as
called upon to consider the provisions of that
law. That Tenure of Office law did not pass
Without notice. Like other acts, it was sent
to the President for approval. As is my cus
tom, I submitted its consideration to my cabi-
nc-t for their advice upon the question, whether
; 1 should approve it or not. It was a grave
i question of constitutional law, in which I
would, of course, rely most upon the opinion
i of the Attorney General and of Mr. Stanton,
who had been Attorney General.
“Every member of my Cabinet advised me
1 til; t tfie proposed law was unconstitutional:—
All spoke without cLubt or reservation; but
Mr. Stanton’s condemnation of the Jaw was
the most elaborate and emph die. He referred
to the constitutional provisions, to the debates
in Congress—especially to the speech of Mr.
Buchanan, when a Senator—to the decisions
| of the Supreme Com?, and to the usages from
j the beginning of the Government through
I every successive administration, all concurring
to establish the right of removal, as vested by
i the Constitution in the President. To all
| these he added the weight of his own delibe-
j rate judgment, and advised me that it was my
i duty to defend the power of the President from
j usurpation, and veto the law.
“After all this, I was not. prepared for the
1 ground taken by Mr. Stanton in his note of
i August 12. I was not prepared to find him
| compelled, by a new and indefinite sense of
! duty under “ the Constitution,” to assume the
vindication of a law which, under the solemn
j obligations of public duty, imposed by the
j Constitution itself, be advised me was a viola-
j tion of that Constitution. I make great allow-
! mice for a change of opinion, but such a
| change as this hardly falls within the limits of
i great indulgence. Where our opinions take
the shape of advice and influence the action
j of others, the utmost stretch of charity will
j scarcely justify us in repudiating them when
they come to be applied to ourselves.”
The message is as follows:
i Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of
Representatives.
An official copy of tlic order issued by Maj.
General Winfield 8. ILinc-ck. Commander of
the Fifth military Dktrkt dated headquarters
in New Orleans, L- uisiana. on the 20th day of

clients to file such affidavits of illegality; and
to this broad statement there seemed to bp an
assent from all the attorneys, and no intima
tion of dissent from the Judge.
“ Mr. Hill said, * I do not represent the case
before the Court, and have not filed any of the
affidavits alluded to. But I concur in the
opinion that all these advertisements are ille
gal, and ail the sales under them are void,

asserts that the principles of American liberty
are still the inheritance of this people, and
ever should be.
When a great soldier, with unrestricted power
in fiis hands to oppress his fellow men, volun
tarily foregoes the chance of gratifying his sel
fish ambition, and devotes himself to the duty
of bnil ling up the liberties and strengthening
the laws of the country, lie presents an exam
ple of the highest public virtue that human
nature is capable of practicing. The strongest
claim of Washington to be ‘‘first in war, first
in peace, and first in the hearts of his country
men,” is found in the great fact that in all
his illustrious career he scrupulously abstained
from violating the legal and constitutional
rights of his fellow citizens.
When be surrendered his commission to
Congress, the President of that body spoke his
highest praise in saying that he had “ always
regarded the rights oi the civil authorities thro’
ali dangers and disasters.” Whenever power
above the law courted his acceptance, he calmly
put the temptation aside. By such magnani
mous acts of forbearance he won the universal
admiration of mankind, and left a name which
has no rival in the history of the world.
1 am far from saying that Gen. Hancock is
the only officer of the American army who is
influenced by the example of Washington.—
Doubtless thousands of them are faithfully de
voted to the principles for which the men of
the revolution laid down their lives. But the
distinguished honor belongs to him of being
the first officer in high command south of the
Potomac, since the close of the civil war, who
Las given utterance to these noble sentiments
in the form of a military order.
I rcspeci’nlly suggest to Congress that some
public recognition of Gen. Hancock's patriotic
conduct is due, if not to him, to the friends of
law and justice throughout the country.—
Of such an act as his, at such a time, it is but
fit that the dignity should be vindicated and
the virtue proclaimed, so that its value as an
example may not be lost to tiie narion.

An Extraordinary Case.—W

who related to us the most remarkable expe
rience we have ever known. He was a soldier
in the Confederate army in the late war and a
member of the 4th Tennessee cavalry of Har
rison’s brigade and Gen. Wheeler’s division.—
I11 the battle of Jonesboro, on the 1st of Sep
tember 1864, he was prostrated, but not woun
ded, by the explosion of a shell. There were
no marks of injuries upon his person, but be
had lost the faculty of speech and of hearing
and from that day until the 18th of the present
month, when he submitted to an .operation,
he has not uttered or heard a word. The oper
ation restored his iost faculties instantly and
he is now in the full enjoyment of both speech
and hearing. We do not remember that we
have ever heard of so remarkable a cure. - Mr
Supear is well known in Meade county, in this
State, and hundreds of the. citizens will certify
to tlic fact of his singular misfortune while his
present condition is the most satisfactory evi
dence of Ins perfect cure.—Louisville Courier.

many of those negroes are returning to live

farms, scores of them, are seeking to find shel

months the President has been denounced as
