Oapt lames X> MCoseSey J, enr mtheriised General Audit, to procure and receipt for subscriptions and adrerttaing for tin- Qitirmpit hannrr. The True Policy. We are liuppy to learn that nnrsrticlv (in the lust Banner,) advising the pro- Heriptinii of white and lilack Radicals, is likely to yield beneficial result*—to add reinforcements to tlmt party which clings to the Constitution, a* tile only hope for the perpetuation of lilsjrty and mainten ance of the "t ights of man." Many of the freedmen in and about Quitman, who hare hitherto co-operated with the Radi' cal*, are reported as haying declared themselves opposed to the “rule or ruin” psrty. if aiding and allotting its nefarious schemes was to result in their being cast overboard by their conservative employ era, and made dependent, for their bread and meat, upon Yankee emissaries and poverty-stricken, miprincipled traitor*— men devoid of honor, steeped in the sew of iniquity, snd dependent upon the of Crime, to kee p the monster starvation, from their own doors. The moatfsenaihle freedmen likewise justify'tire policy of proscription: for, suy % they, men who hare given unmistakable evidence that they are hostile to the true interests of the land and property pro prietors of the country, have no right, to expect favors, countenance, or support, ►it is Contrary to reason and without pre cedent We have beard of one negro, however, who pretends to treat with conlempt, arid bids defiance to the suggested poli cy. This a good mechan c and enjoys a lucrative situation. He boldly de clares himself a Kudicsl in feeling and sentiment, and says that proscription is impossible, for the reason that the. white man cannot prosper without the aid of the Hack man! This otily serves to illustrate his ignorance and dnplicity. It is the identical argument advanced and incul cated by the emissaries of Radicalism. The most conclusive manner in which to refute such heresy—to demonstrate the fact that the negro is not a necessary auxiliary to the prosperity « f the while man -it for employers to discharge every Radical in their service. Such a course would aoon convince them that their Radical advisers are liars arid villians. No difficulty is ciiccmtered to con vince the freedmen that the aims, designs and principles of the Jacobins, are direct ly opposed to the present interest and fhtnre prosperity of the country—that if successful in revolutionizing the social and political status of those Southern States, white* and blacks, alike, must suffer untold oppression, misery and want. But the great difficulty is, in keeping them convinced of such undenia ble and glaring fact; for the first spy and Yankee hireling thut conies along, places before them an additional phial of poison.—they gulp it down and rejoin the Radical ranks. And we most admit, the realty ignorant freedmen are not to blame; for tliesj Yankee villains have oily tongues—they cat and sleep with their durk skinned brethren—make them selves extremefy agreeable—and tints poor Aftic's sons are dnped and bought. Reason and argument are weak weap ons to c nil at heresy engendered thro’ ignorance; and theres re, the true policy fix our people to pursue, is, ns suggested h»st week: to hire no man, white or black, who has enlist'd tinder the black banner of Radicalism, and thereby announced his determination to wage war against the happiness, prosperity, and every in terest of the South. And all who have such men at present employed—al though they may be temporarily incon venienced—would render the country and constitutional liberty a great service, by prompt y discharging them; but, in every i istance, in plain, distinct terms, the em ployer should inform such parties of the cause of discharge. Be independent! Convince these arro gant and impudent laborers, that the whites are not dependant on them for one moment. Imitate the noble women so journing at the Greenbriar White Sul phur Springs, in Virginia, and Right will soon nsKl pher sway, and Mr. or lie di'Ucn from her present stronghold. — Kinstcinf Jk Eekninn.

Is clear and explicit, and need not lie misunderstood. 1 am, sir, very respectfully, Y'onr obedient servant, J. V. MkI.INK, Chief of Bureau. Gen. Pope, by ".Special Order,” has guaranteed to his subjects, freedom of speech and of the Press; and therefore we are privileged to criticise even Ilia magesty’s acts with the same liberty we would those of a more humble function ary- The foregoing correspondence fully ex poses the character of the man, the trick ery of the politician, and the arbitrary, domineering and dishonorable exercise of power of tho Military Ruler. Tho facts set forth are abundantly sufficient to con vince tilt: most skeptical, of the real ob ject contemplated by “General Order No. 4y.” It is demonstrated to be nothing more nor less than a political manoeuvre, to realize money for tho advancement of the cause of Radicalism—-to etiriclt vil liiins at tlio expense of the heart’s blood of the people. Here is the case in a nut shell: We proposed to publish the Citations of Or dinaries, who have hitherto advertised in the Banner, gratuitously. The matter be ing referred to General Pope, tis to wheth er, under such circumstances, tho publi cation would be permitted, the Ordinary is informed that “General Order No. 49” is explicit, and such notices must not be published’in the Banner, even gratuitously —they must be forwarded to a Radical newspaper, and paid for. Therefore it is plain, that General John Pope’s solo ob ject in issuing “General Order No, 49," was to levy a direct tar upon the Widows and Orphans of the State of Georgia, for the support of political adventurers and Iscariot traitors, who tire engaged in the disreputable work of publishing radical, incendiary papers. None hut the base at heart would stoop to such dishonorable werk. But this not all. We proposed to pub lish these notices gratuitously, for the convenience of the people, anti to relieve the Ordinaries from a very disagreeable dilemma. These officials took an oath, upon entering upon the duties of their respective offices, that they would faith fully execute the laics of the State. Even a Po[xt cannot absolve them from that oath: it was solemn, binding, and regis tered on high. And said laws require of them to publish their citations in a news paper published in their respective coun ties; and if none, then in the one giving the largest circulation, etc. Gen. Pope says Ordinaries must not comply with the requirements of said law—they must send their citations to radical sheets, which have no circulation in their coun ties—and thereby i’kbji'hk themselves be fore Gon AND MAN. Therefore it is plain, that Gen. Pope, not oblj levies black-mail upon me will ows and orphans of Georgia, but to suc cessfully carry out his measures, and to reduce the civil officers of the State to the same level of moral corruption as his own base hirelings, he demands that such officers stamp upon their brows the damn ing stigma of PERJURY! \\ as infamy ever more glaring? Butler and Sheridan arc gentlemen-and Christians when placed in comparison with this jnttndicod Com mail dec of the Third Military District. l.i this connection we will remark, that Capt. John G. McCall, the Ordinary for Brooks county, takes no pa*'t, what ever, in politics. He desm-s to conform strictly with the laws of the State, and, so far as possible, comply with the "Or ders” of the General commanding the District. The correspondence published above, was furnished at our urgent solid -1 tation.

Doubtless they will be forth coming at an early day. —Somelxjdy wrote Gen. Pope a letter, making inquiiy as to whether he design ed isrtiiiug_un order staging the collec tion of debts, and bis tnajes'y replies, in effect that he has no business, interferring in slidi matters. That’s so; but his high ness him heretofore poked his nose into business that did not concern him. -The grounds on which Sickles was re moved are, he held that lie was not amenable to grand Juries U. S Marshals or 0. S. District Attorneys, while he was in command of a military District crea ted by,Act of Congress. He strove to mount too high and was precipitated to the pit below. —Gen. Grant has issued an Order re quiring Military commanders to make no appointments to civil ffiec of persons who have been removed by themselves or their predecessors in command. A large Conservative meeting, com posed of wtiites and blacks, was held in Columbus, Geo., on the 31st, at which there was great enthusiasm, and reso lutions passed demanding the enfranchise ment of all lhe whiles and declaring the right of negroes to held office, The Rad ieals tried to get tip a row but failed. - —Bridget Dnrgan, the fiendish mur deress, was hung at New Brunswick, N. J., on the 30th. —There was twi hundrid and forty one deaths from Yellow Fever at Galves ton Texas for the week ending Saturday last. The fever is also raging to a dread ful extent at Corpus Christi. One half the citizens are sick or dead. —The Yellow fever has become epidem ic in New Qrleans. For the week ending Saturday there was one hundred and twenty six deaths. The fever is on the increase. —The Supreme Court of Maine has de cided that a marriage between a negro and white woman is illegal and void. This by a Republican Judge, who no doubt holds, politically that both colors are “equal before the law.” The parties had been married about a month. A Useful Race- It cannot be denied that the colored race proved itself the most generally use ful race that has ever existed in this conn try. The Baltimore Sun say»they have not only cultivated cotton, rice, tobacco and corn, but they have been invaluable to the politicians, the philanthropists, the philosophers, the sentimentalists, the poets, the stump-speakers and the doc tore of divinity. Whilst their industry produced the staples which laid the foun dations of the vast commercial and man ufacturing enterprise and wealth of A nterica, their condition has occupied the minds and set goin the tongues and pens, and finally the muskets and cannon of the white race. The earth is yet quiv ering under the shock of that collision of ideas and muscle of which tho colored matt was the innocent cause. But his uses. It s progress of all sorts, have not yet Itcen exhausted. If he is jto longer bearing the burthen of slavery, he s bear ng the burden of politicians, who arc astride of the freedmun, like the Old Man of the Sea, with their legs twisted around his neck, ami arc determined to make him carry them to the high places of power. What would become of Amer ican politics, or Atm-ri•• ■ philanthropy, without the colored man: II we would imagine for a moment that there was not one of the race in America, what would we do for political staples, and where would there be a channel lor those overflowing sympathies which distain to include any white man except, the par ticular individual exercising them? First Flection in Alabama Gen. Pope has issued an order for an election in Alabama on the Ist of October, on the question of a Convention and di It" gate* to the same. We suppose a similar order w ill soon issue for Georgia, as it is stated registration is about completed. It was thought, a few weeks ago, that the whites would outnumber the blacks, lint recent developments make it evident that the negroes will have the ascenden cy. Upon the completion of registration, it is probable that the negroes win nave about td-o thousand majority. A malicious correspondent te'ls of a young lacy at one of the watering places who has been nineteen for live seasons .— Exchange. Pshaw ! That’s nothing : we have heard of young ladies who have been jwrt seventeen for the past fifteen years, and tl eir cheek* look as rosy as ever. It is said that unmarried young ladies arepos sessed of a secret charm, by which they never get any older after attaining si reel seventeen. A mischievous chap, at our cllsiw says he once saw a “sweet seven teen” purchase the “charm" from an Apothecary. Os course he is mistaken. Mr. \V. H. Betts was brought to Colin ibus, Ga., the other day in military i eusti y. Mr. B. says his only offence is 1 Ids offering to register a-“black and tan” ! terrier «h>g, at the office in West Point. : The registrars refused, and he raised a lass about it, as lie understood It made : no difference what they registered, so the complexion was all l ight. Jfceon Tele graph. _ Prentice, of the Louisville Jour nal, says t “Before we would employ in our business or patronise in-their business any man, whi e or blaek, who should vote to disfranchise .is and rob us of all civil rights, we wenhl ask that our head should lie chopped off ami cast upon a dung hill.” Every man feels the same way. lAnfoln’s lYlOminlebti A'few Yankee adventurers and tfaitors in Atlanta, haVe for several mohttih past been agitating the erection in that city, of a monument to Mr Lintiolrt. The Au gusta Chronicle, & Sentinel suggests that ihe material necessary for the work can lie found in great abundance upon all the battle fields of the late war. I>et them send out and gather the bones of the brave and patriotic Southerners, who fell by the bnjlets of Lincoln’s hirelings while fighting for their country’s rights, and which lie bleaching upon the hills and valleys of every Southern State. Ltd (Item collect the crimson gore of their noble hearts, which stained the fields and reddened the grass of a thou sand farms in Virginia and Georgia, Mis sissippi and Tennessee. Let the Monumental pile, formed of the bones and cemented by the blood of fallen patriots, be raised until its peak shall kiss the skies, a fitting monument of Southern devotion to tho memory of him who will pass in history as thr greatest and most wicked murderer of this or any other age. If these Atlanta pa riots wish a pretty inscription for their “gorgeous pile,” let us suggest the following : FORMED OF THE Do Nr. 8 A.VD CEMENTED BY THE BLOOD OF THR GLORIOUS PATRIOTS Who fell by hireling bullets, while fighting J their country's cause. i THUS MOSUUEST 1 18 ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, BY ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND WIDOWS AND ORPHANS, WHO RECOGNIZED IN HIM THE BLOODY MURDERER OF THEIR HUSBANDS AND FATHERS, AND THE FANATICAL DESTROYER OF FREE GOVERNMENT IN AMERICA. Sound Advice -The Two Races. Tho Baltimore Sun, in a recent article on the two races, gives the following ex cellent advice to the colored men of the South, which we commend to their grave consideration, especially in this vicinity, where they are beset by so many evil influences and radical incendiaries. Says the Sun : “It is to be hoped that the colored men will not permit themselves to act upon the belief, which incendiary white men are seeking to instill into them, that the laws of the land are insufficient for their protection, and that, in order to be secure they must adopt a practice of the most vicious and degraded class of whites.— Every one recollects the execration and loathing by which that class, w-ho for merly disturbed the peace of this comma nity, were looked upon by all good citi zens, both white-and colored, and why should colored men permit themselves to he degraded to the level of such habits, which will inevitably render them oh-, jects of the same execration and loathing Their true friends feel profoundly solicit ous to elevate them above such a fate, and to encourage them everywhere, by good order and industry to show that the two races, which have every reason for mutual good will and on-operation, can continue to live together on the same soil in am ty and peace.” Tlie Cabinet autl General Amnesty. A I’r ss dispatch from Washington, says tho question of General amnesty was before the Cabinet on the 3rd, and the President had expressed a hope that it would be disposed of on that day. It is said the President is very decided in his advocacy of the measure, and if the Cabinet coincide, his proclamation of am nesty will be based upon that of March, 1862, issued by Mr. Johnson, while Pro visional Governor of Tennessee, which was approved by Mr. Lincoln and Con gress. That, proclamation saiil in efl'ect, that while treason may be punished, no vin dictive o dors or retaliatory measures will l>e adopted, but a general amnesty for all past acts and expressions will lie granted to the people, cm the single con dition, that they yield themselves citizens under the majesty of ihe law. He ap pealed to all erring ami misguided peo ple to return to their allegiance aud avail themselves of this amnesty. Why General Dickies was Removed.— ti.o correspondent of the New York Herald says : "The cause of the removal of General Sickles, is his in subordination in disobeying the positive commands of the President. The Order No. 10, resisting the execution of man dates of the L'nited States Supreme Court iu North Carolina, was rescinded by the President some weeks ago, aud General Graut instructed General Sick le. accordingly ; hut the latter, instead of promptly submitting, ordered his sub ordinates not to obey the instructions forwarded by the Attorney General at the command of tie President, and wrote a very offensive letter to General Grant, in which ho alln ’ed in disrespectful terms indirectly, to the President, and asked for a suspension of the order until such time as he (Sickles) could write a defence of his course. ThejPresident, however, refuses to wait, when a plain, positive comm' ud is recklessly disregarded, and retiresJSickles with unusual promptness The nest victim will undoubtedly be Genera? Pope, who n a short time, will be removed to make way for General Wager Swayne.” Some fime since a Mr. Driver exposed j the ct remoni.’s, signs, etc., of the Loyal \ League. This rendered anew ritual : necessary, and the LaGrange Reporter has received a copy of it, which it prom iees to publist next week I'oDtrsal Ain nest y Bennett, of the New York llcralA, has mounted the hobby which CkEKi.r, of the Tribune, has been riding for the past six months, and calls upon the President to immediately play his trump card — iini cersal amnesty. That journal says : “The reconst notion problem, however in its present phase, is bring rig daily new elements to the surface ; and until we know if Mr. Johnson will play his great trump card or not there can be but little certainty about the next Presi dency. That trump card it is now lime that Mr. Johnson should play. The moment has come ; the revolutionary wave which freed the negro is now dash ing him against the common sense of the country to the ruin of its present interest and its future greatness. We are now thr< atened with negro from eaClt Congressional District in the South ami the code which is to-govern the United States may receive laws bas ed upon ignorance instead of education. The wave must he stopped ; it lias hr ken front the control of lln.se who first gave it impulse. The national revulsion offeelingdemandsthat.it lie hulled, anu demands, too, that Mr. Johnson halt it Let him strike the How : let him now give the country universal amnesty The negro will then take Ins proper place and in tin- light of a freedom which is his right he may emerge fr >m mental darkness. With universal amnesty the reconstruction problem will be finished at a stroke ; intelligence will replace ignorance, and Puritanism and the negro may take position second to the common sense of the country.” Disgraceful Scene in a Ciiurcli The Buffalo (New York) Courier, of the 20lh, gives the following account of an extraordinary proceeding that took place in one of the Roman Catholic churches of that city : The corpse of a man named Mathew Hausle, a leading member of the ehnrch. and also a member of the St. Louis Socie ty was taken to the church.for burial services, under the auspices of the St. Louis Society. The banner of the Socie ty was taken to the church, whereupon the officiating Priest, whose name we learn was the euphonious one of Schulep nekopf, refused to proceed with the ser vices unless the Jbawier was removed from the church. The Society refused to obey tho order and the Priest retired.— Shortly after be again made his appear a nee, hut was firm in his determination not to proceed with the services unless the objectionable banner was removed, alledging that it was a Masonic banner. Our informant states that the congrcga tion then arose en masse, that some be gan swearing, and that others started for the Priest, who fled from the church and across the yard to his residence, close at hand, escaping without personal vio lence, although threats of vengeance were hurled at him. Those persons who had left the cliuri It then returned, when tho St. Louis Society offered up prayers over the dead man,after which the remains were carried to their last rcsti place. It Bcems almost incredible tha; such dis graceful proceedings could take place in t church. WaS* A Sad Catastrophe.— As public journalists, we are compelled this morn ing to chronicle one of the most heart rending disasters that, we think, has ever happened in Savannah, and which has laid waste the happiness of a home and family. Miss Daley, a young lady, agetl from sixteen to eighteen years, the daughter of Mr. Michael Daley, one of our oldest citizens, accompanied her father North some time since, and while there was called back by the serious illness, cf her sister who resided in this city. Leaving her father at New Y<gk, site took pas sage on the steamer Hetman Livingston, which after a safe voyage arrived here last night about nine o’clock Miss Da ley, young, and impatient no doubt to greet Iter relatives w:ts among the first to sturt unaided and "lone, to cross the gang plank, which in the darkness affor ded out precarious tooting even to those who were practised, and had experience t»l its dangers. VVhen about midway be tween the vessel and the wharf, her feet slippled, and without a cry she fell into the dark water beneath, which was rush ing up with the (uree of a flood tide, and sustained for a moment by her clothing, carried her towards the stern of the ves sel, when she sunk without rising again. Out of a crowd on the wharf, not one could be found brave enough torisk their life to save the drowning girl—-a sad commentary < n the selfishness of human nature. Her shawl and bonnet, we believe, were recovered, and at tbe bout we write efforts are being made, with drags, to find hei body.— Bav. Republican, 2d. Gen. Meade says he has little confi dence in politicians, as such ; lie thinks the Presidential nomination is lieing man ipulated at present with a considerable amount,of shrewdness ; that a class of men are now putting General Grant for ward upon one side and General Sheri dan upon the other, and when they have sufficiently pitted these two popular military men against each other they will both be dropped and Secretaty Chase Lite “third man,” being a civilian and supposed to be available. He agreed with us that the position of General Graut is a better one thau the Presidency ; but thought the time would coine when Grant would naturally desire to retire from publ c life and it would be mors desirable to do so from the White House than from the head of the army. He conceives that the frieuds of Chase will leave no means untried to secure the nomination. Samaxa, which the President of Domin- j ica is reported to have consented to sell i to the United States for $5,000,000, is a j peninsula and bay on the northeast coast : of St. Domi: go The government, it is j stated, has for fourteen years • ..deavor- j ed to make this important acquisition, I but until now- without success. The bay of Samana, which is one of the finest in j the world, lies on the south side of the peninsula, and is forty three miles wide. ■ Samana, is said to possess, in the great- j est abundance, the ehvricests tinil<er for shipbuilding, and there arc also on the j north siiore excellent natural fae lities for reparing vessels. The acquisition, as a commercial and naval one, is very ! vaiua' le, aud politically, it gives ns a controlling position in the Antilles of the Gulf of Mexico. Two cargoes of ice iiave arrived at Sa vannah. This will be good news to our , citizens Hurtling tlie VI onus. A g' ntlethah, who hafl jiist rettirnbd from a trip to the conrttfy, informs ub that the war against thfe button worms has asslitb"d tt new type, Slid that the situation haft thereby become more prom ising. It aft [tears that the worms, as is tbt.’ir custom at a certain stage of their ; career, have webi>ed themselves on the I upper branches of the plant, and the plan is to go through the fields with scissors or shears in itand cut off the branch or branches on which the cocooned webs are attached and blirn them oil the spot. This plan if generally adopted, i cannot fail to utterly destroy the pest ! which has proved such an “impediment” jto ottr planters. Nor is its p«lsecuti<>rr so difficult as might be imagined. \Ve believe a band is expected on an aver age to cultivate four acres. Tbe worms make their appearance after the ordinary tillage is over and tne crop is “laid by,” and tbe band who cultivates four acres can cut ofl' the webbed colonies ofyoung worms from these fourjacres in two days. The clipper is followed by a boy with a fire of pine knots in a wire basket or old tin pan and with the destruction of each web millions of embryo worms expire. In those portions of tins State and Mis sissippi where the above mentioned course has b« n pursued the hopes of the. planters are beginning to revive The regular army worms—whose countless myriads destroy acres upon acres of cot ton in a single night—-always make their single appearance after the webl>ed stage has been assumed, aid their procreative energy for the season has been exhaus ted. To slay them then you slay them by the uiilliau and should the destruction be complete it is probable that the army worm would not again be r heard of for years. Formerly It was supposed that the genuine cotton worm did not make its appearance more titan once in twenty three years, but wc have been troubled with it fir three successive seasons, and utter extermination by fire seems alone to promise security in the future. We trust that the war of extermination will be pursued in all portions of the country and that thereby » goodly portion of tbe once expected crop may yet be saved.— New Orleans Times, 23 d. Judge Chase — Negro Suffrage —A ru ntor is ctm.that Judge Chase, since his recent visit to the South upon his of ficial duties, has changed his views re lative to conferring the right of suffrage upon the late slaves of the South ; that he now thinks it improper, and that it threatens the nation with disastrous con sequences. If this is true, then Judge Chase owes it to his country to give his opinion to the public. Tbe subject is in deed, the most important now agitating the nation. The Judge was the first prom inent man in the'nation who boldly advo catedjthe according the right of suffrage to the negro. If his mind has undergone Such a change as that reported it is a re markable fact —alike creditable to his honesty and his judgment. At all events, the whole nation feels an interest in knowing whether _thcre is truth in this rumor or not. The lineal descendant of Dermot Mc- Moroogh, the last Irish King, is now working as a stone tnasott at buildings at Toxteth Park, Liverpool. He is known by the name of D- . The undoubted representative of the Earl of Ulster, who flourished in the time of Elizabeth, and who gave that monarch a good deal of trouble in Ireland, is a policeman in the Liverpool police toree. The grandson of one of the most eminent members of tin: Irish Pariiam nt, who was not only dis tinguished os an orator and a beautiful lyric poet, but also for his patriotism and opposition to the Union, is now a barman in a spirit vault near the Liverpool Ex change.

The offices are for the white Radicals —the voting is to be done by the black ones.
