they have nob<xly to blame so much as them

Joe Brown in Newnan.
This notorious cx-Govcrnor of Georgia spoke
in Newnan last Saturday, and although the
election has passed we deem it proper to notice
briefly his report'of the day, published in the
Era. The man sought to impress the public
with the belief that he had five hundred hear
er*?;-while the truth is his audience did not
exceed- 85 negroeB-' and 13 whites, several of
whom Wcrb present through sheen curiosity,
and in no way sympathized with Radicalisms
As to the game of ball, we have this*to say:
Such of our citizens as desired to joined in a
game of “town-ball,” believing, as they had
a right to, that the exercise and excitement of
that sport were far more preferable than any
speech the ex-Governor could or would deliver.
We know of no law that compels men to re
frain from ball-playing because ex-Gov. Brown
wishes to or does make a speech on the same
day. Neither the ball players nor others beat
tin-pans, as charged in the Era. The only
noise of that character made that day was that
of a “kettle-drum” in the hands of negroes
who came to hear Joe Brown speak. We think
the ex-Governor rather severe on his friends
and admirers, for if their drum did sound like
a tin-pan it was not their fault, and it is bad
taste-in his ex-Exccllency to thus ridicule them
in the public prints. We are rather inclined
to the opinion that Joseph was rather peevish
over the failure of the blacks to drum up a
respectable crowd—in numbers—and will take
back ail- he has said about them when he gets
cool.
The idea of Joe Brown lecturing white peo
ple as to the mode and manner of raising chil
dren, as he did in the Era, is exceedingly rich.
Why, Governor, if you were to tell the youth
not to do a certain act, you might- be converted
to the other skledn twenty-three miu-nteey as
you ware in the case of Bullock, and liar ran gue
them in, public to advocate what, youe in pri
vate advised them to oppose. Tile truth is,
Governor, yonr race has lost confidence in
you, and you have nobody to blame but your
self.

he cut, as the arm}’ of their dreaded Emperor
is ft hundred to one, and an intelligent Greek
merchant who has at various times sold En
glish muskets to Theodorus, estimates his
forces as approximating 100,0C0 infantry, 50,-
000 cavalry and 20,000 tiralleurs. There is a
wide difference in the above statements, and
neither can he deemed reliuble, from the fact
that Theodorus declares he will meet the En
glish on the plain, and in the same spirit as
that which animated Napoleon at Waterloo;
sa}’s he will measure his strength with them.
He has six cannon of immense calibre, be
sides a dozen twelve-pounders, and I am in
clined to believe that he has an arnij* number
ing in the aggregate 40,000 men, for Wagshun
Gobaye declines to attack him with 40,000
troops; and Meuelek, the King of Slioa, and
Walbelt, the Galla Amazon combined, retreat
before him with an arm}’ amounting to over
sixty thousand, But Napier argues that they
retreated solely because Theodorus’ name was
enoagli to strike terror, and that as they had
not recovered from the dread his very’ name
inspired they dared not attack him, and he
adds, with an assuring smile, that the English
did not as yet>share their apprehension.
Gen. Napier *s himself convinced that had
not the home government seized the very fa
vorable opportunity of making war upon The
odorus when the empire was convulsed with
civil wars, which rage in every province, that
it would have been useless to invade Abyssin
ia with an army’ of less than 100,000 men.
As it is, the Commander-in-Chief is confi
dent of success, and that the English army
will be in Zuella with the captives by the first
of June next. He is precipitated onward by
the Bombay government, who flood him with
letters, containing ominous tidings of Russian
embassies being sent to the warrior prince of
Khiva, of Russian armies being sent to the
Deccan, of the King of Ava’s growing hostility
to the English—all of which is fraught with
portentous meaning to the Anglo-Indian army-
now in Abyssinia.
In India the officials contrive to cripple the
General by refusiog much that lie deems es
sential to the success of the mission, in order,
t-bey say r , to keep down the expenditure, and
still in some instances they coniribute very
liberally. But withal, however anxious the
British public may become, as they are already
committed to the expedition, Napier says it
will be for him “ to consider the time and the
conditions under which lie will retire consis
tently with its special purpose, the deliverance
of the captives, the sulety of the force, and the
attainment of those other peaceful, scientific
and philanthropic ends, which though subor
dinate to the main object, are certainly’ not
inconsistent with it.” What those ends are I
know not, but there is the stateraeut, to be
construed how we may.
THE PROSPECT AND PRdBABLE RESULT.
The Negus Negushe of modern Ethiopia,
from the latest news we can glean from his
camp, seems determined to prove himself
worthy of the royal blood from which he
claims descent, and to convince the Euglish,
“by the power of God,” that his people, who
formerly glimmered in the oral history of the
nations of the Orient, who were renowned by
Jewish poets and sung by Grecian bards, tho’
the country, by the eternal and boundless
deserts which surround it, lias been barred
from the rest of the eivilized world, has not
degenerated into a race of cowards. If the
appearance of the people of Altano does not
belie them, metliioks the English government
will exert its gigantic powers in vain to com
pel Theodorus to disgorge his mountain pris
oners of Magdala, Begemder and Woggara.—
Such intelligent and sturdy forms as we see
daily can hardly contain craven souls Their
haughty-', independent bearing illustrates their
descent from the powerful nations of Ethiopia,
who for centuries established and overthrew
mighty kingdoms and originated the arts,
learning and refinement of the ancient world.
The women, whose lusty forms excite vulgar
admiration, handle the warrior’s arms with
the ease and dexterity of their lords, while
the children,-a'most in their cradles, become
prurient fbr the lance and yateghan.
Theodorus, finding that it was impossible to
mount his big cannon on the walls of Magdala,
has taken a strong position between two rivers,
near Lake Haik. On all sides his camp is well
protected by deep ravines, which cross and re
cross each other, so that it will be a matter of
some difficulty on a plain devoid of timber to
bring the Armstrong guns into a position- to
bear on his camp. This plateau on which he
is encamped is about two days’ march from
Magdala and twelve from Antalo.
NYagshum Gr.bazye having heard that the
great Theodorus was advancing, who has an
incurable propensity for executing traitors in
a most horrible manner, has decamped from
Lake Ashangi with his army, and invested
Debra Tabor, which he wo-uld not have done
had Theodorus not Ifefit it with his whole army.
In the same manner the bombastic King of
Shoa, who had promised liberty to the captives
at Magdala, has left the vicinity of his formi
dable master, retreating hastily to his country
hidden on the mountain tops, in the forests.

the Abyssiniaus will decimate the
troops. The Snyder-Enfield and rifled breech-
loading Armstrong guns will only awaken the
echoes of the mountains and frighten the wild
beasts, and sometimes before they have time
to turn their cannon the English will find
themselves face to face with Theodorus’ sol
diers, who will fall upon them sword in hand.
Civilized people, immersed in the profundity
of th<Mr own polities, may be incredulous at
the tale of firearms and swords being found in
Abyssinia, a semi-bar barons empire ; but when
they consider the total absence of those mus
kets in Egypt of what are called the Ibraham
Pasha muskets, which that prince bought in
France, when those were superceded by a later
invention ; and again what have become of the
latter, replaced by a more recent invention
still, they will have reason to suppose that they
have been sold to some less civilized power.—
These arms may be found in the bands of The
odorus’ soldiers. Speculators have also been
continually introducing arms into Abyssinia at
several points, ami especially at Massomvah.—
The companies also, who are working for the
restoration of the fallen princes on the coasts
of Abyssinia have imported great quantities of
arms at different periods.
A Grecian merchant was lately commissioned
to buy twenty thousand English muskets for
Theodorus. Besides, the Ahyssinians, under
the intelligent and enterprising Emperor, have
acquired considerable skill in the use of fire
arms. A Greek of Epirus introduced the man
ufacture of gunpowder among them in 1857.
THE LIGHT CAVALRY OF THEODORUS
is equal to any in the world, both as respects
the horses and the agility of the riders. In
fighting they throw away the rein, use both
hands, and perform wonderful movements by
the help of their legs and knees only. They
carry a sword and two lances. They can pick
up any object at full gallop, and can suddenly
disappear under their horse’s belly to avoid a
blow. In attacking a square they always try
to jump into it. The artillery is no longer
what it used to be. Now it consists of formi
dable pieces and skilful gunners, mountaineers,
armed with guns, celebrated lor the precision
of their aim and cool courage.
Each corps of Theodorus’ army has its Gen
eral, and is governed by a severe discipline and
rigorous regulations. Deserters are crucified,
and their execution Theodorus superintends
himself, as Iris people are donkeys and cannot
do anything right.
The Emperor has a perfect idea cf centrali
zation. He is the first sovereign who offers the
spectacle of an empire without a capital.—
Having investigated the causes and effects of
the late revolution he saw that when the cap
ital was taken ali the rest ran the same danger
He said to himself, therefore, “ I will have no
capital ; my head shall be the empire and my
tent the capital.” Hence he is always followed
by his ministers and high functionaries.
Gondur, though formerly the capital, is now
but a large city stripped of the interest which
attached to it, and Delna Tabor has dwindled
into a petty village, so neither of these places
offer any inducements to rebels or invaders,
and it is only tor the sake of the prisoners at
Magdala that the English army wend their
way t • the fortress. To prevent their entering
it Theodorus has planted himsc-lf before it and
taken position.

the train fFom Louisville bearing his remains
at the various stations, and they evinced their
regard for the memory of their old commander
in a very striking manner. Says the Louisville

At an early boor in the day eager and en

anxiously awaiting the arrival of the train that
was to bring the body of their departed chief.
At last the train arrived, bearing what was

The National Intelligencer has a corious
speculation as to the effect of the removal of
Andrew Johnson, and the operation of the law
that in that case would make the President

Wc quote:
“ Mr: Wade will first take the office and hold
it at the pleasure of the Senate. He will, for
the time, be acting President, also President
pro tem. of the Senate, and Senator trora the
State of Ohio. He can only he acting Presi
dent while he is President pro tem. of the

arise in the body for the election of another
President pro tem., and then Mr. Wade will
cease to be acting President, and will go back
to his seat as Senator from Ohio. The new
President pro tem. will become the acting
President; but he may not be allowed to re
main in office longer than a week. Thus it
would seem practicable, and by no means im
probable, for the Radica. majority of the Sen
ate to take the Presidential office by turns—a

Pigeon Shooting among the Diplomats.—
The ministers and attaches of a number of the
foreign legations in this city on Saturday, at
the Piney Branch race-course, indulged in the
sport of pigeon shooting. England, France,
Prussia, Turkey, Italy, and several of the Ger
man States were represented, the party being
composed of about fifteen gentlemen and four
teen ladies. The guns used were donbled-
barrelled breech-loaders, and the birds were
shot at a rise of twenty-one yards, while the
bounds were fixed at eighty yards.
The first shot was won by the British Minis
ter, Sir Edward Thornton, who brought down
three birds successively, as they were let out
of the trap by Mr. Albert Woodley, who was
trapper for the occasion. He, however, missed
the other txvo birds, and, as each gentleman
was limited to five shots, he gave place to Mr.
Howard, of the British Legation, who also
brought down thrae birds. Mr. FreemaD, the
second Secretary of the British Legation, prov
ed the most successful shot, for he succeeded
in bringing down all five of his birds, and
thereby won the .first prize.
An attache of the French Legation won the
second prize. Several very fine shots were
made during the day, and twenty-nine bird3
out of sixty fell within the bounds. The Ital

Boutwell said that the Chief Magistrate

not punishment for offenses, but safety of

and the House of Representatives are tech

whereas, the executive and judicial are
denied all discretionary or implied power.
Congress can adapt an administration to
the changing condition of the national
line ; whereas, the President is governed
by the principles which govern a Judge
of a Court. The President must admin
ister the law as he finds it without quest
ioning its legislation or wisdom. The
President can make no inquiry regarding
its constitutionality. A public officer can
neither plead nor prove good motives for
nullifying a law. If the President vio
lates a law, the Senate can enter into no
humor. We were all having a fine time
when the Doctor’s little negro, about
twelve years old, “ black as midnight
without moon,” came grinning into the
room. Tom said : “ I am told that you
little niggers can butt like billy-goats,”
and threw himself down upon all fours
for an encounter. The little nigger in

Tom, and knocked him entirely across the
room. We thought Tom, was killed, and
he thought so himself j but after a while,
he was able to sit up, with only a terri
ble headache, that lasted twenty four
hours. The Doctor, in his wrath, was
about to kill the little nigger, but Tom
generously interposed in favor of his con
