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. are so many who did not labor aad are consu mers alone, that it will require, in my humble judgement, tLe strictest and most rigid econo my to make the supply last until the gather ing of another crop.

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 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. Justice. Comm unieu ted . Thoughts Gn the Times. 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 November, h s reached me through the regu lar channels i f the War Department, and I herewith coiumv.n a.c :t to Congress tor such action as may seem to be proper m view of all the circumstances.

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.

Indeed, I much fear, that the non-producing class will be largely augmented in Georgia There are no adven turers among us this winter as there was last decoying the negroes to the West as laborers, that experiment has proven ruinous to these who embarked in it. But- on the contrary, many of those negroes are returning to live upon what was grown in Georgia last year. The negroes who worked last year upon our farms, scores of them, are seeking to find shel ter in our towns and villages. Very few of them seem inclined, up to this period, to en- g;ige to work fur an agriculturist, consequent ly many of our acres must and will remain untilled. Ihe Western States—the great grain growing region of America have, many cf them tailed in their crops, hence, we mav ex pect to get but little from them. Corn is sell ing lor very near as much in Louisville and Cincinnati to day as it is in Atlanta and Xew- uan, which is incontestable proof of its scarcity.

The President give-s another and a weighty reason for the suspension of Mr. Stanton, in the conduct of the latter concerning the New Ot leans riots, for which the President was se verely deBonced by many even who had hith erto been Lis friends.
