The Quitman Academy. We are sorry to learn that this Insti tut ion of learning, which was inaugnra. ted under such flattering auspices a year Ago, has almost collapsed.

The report, made through the Savan nah Jtepubliean, ot the recent difficulties near Nankin and at Quitman, is errone ous in almost every particular. In the Hist place, there is no “tavern” at or in the neighborhood of Nankin, where “Mr. Spiller mtopped to rest,” and consequently lie did not meet in such “tavern, a large party headed by one Bill Duncan.” Mr. S. did not “become; enraged at an old negro woman,” nor did \ bo ‘lire two shots from his revolver at her;” and as no “old negro woman” had ] anything to do with the affair, the report of her husband procuring a “musket,” and rushing to her de fence, is all moon shine. “Bill Duncan” did not come to town “with a party of ten, all armed with revolvers ” A number of gentle men came to town, it is true, from the i Nankin district, on tho dav designated, | but they were brought here by curiosity, i and not tor the defence of l)tincan # for there wad nQdin ye made against said ■ gentleman, and he was merely in atten i dance as a witness—therefore it was mi ; necessary for his friends to attend kirn ! “nil armed with revolvers.” I There are many inaccuracies in the n - port made to our cotcmpm’ury of these I unfortunate difficulties ; tut it is mince | easary to correct them in del !. In fact. I our sole object in referring to the matter ; i ut all, is to correct the impression that j might gain currency, that our people are | disposed to protect evil doers by the I force <>f arms. Tho rep it of the Jlepnb jlu on implies that Mr. Duncan bad been ! arrest A as a rioter, and that his frie ids ! armed themselves for his protection.- This is very unjust to the law-abiding, i intelligent and peace-loving eiii/oiw « -f Brooks, and in their name we protest against the imputation. The Florida Convention. A Florida uTcspomlent of the Savan nah lief mb/tea n t sums up the result of the recent election in that State, with ‘ *t.*> delegates elect. lie says : I That there is a strong loyal, conser vative clement, u large Union lb puldi i can party of the more moderate sort in ; Florida, the result of the election clear ily and forcibly exhibits. The extreme! ! Radical wing is composed of four white : j uteu % and it is said about mi* half of the j j blacks. The lil mgs Raßeals ehc ed ; ' but thirteen delegates to the Convention : : The straight Republicans thirty one, and : Conservatives, two. It remains to be ! seen how wisely the Republican leaders and wire pullets in Florida will direct their managi incut, and whether they are sagacious eiiougi to build upon a plat [ form, which, while it may embrace two-j | thirds of all the whites of tSie State, and jof the blacks also, will yet repr out the ; just principles of national unity, and ap peal to the noblest impulses of all mui. u Tl»e Screven Uou*e. ,? Tl»c courteous and euturpiising McGiJf* j ly still continue* bin effort* to make the ! above house of entertainment rank first | among the thousand similar estab 1 lisbments South. During the past twelve j months a vast amount of improvement has been made on the interior of the building, and on our recent visit we found mechanics till at w-ji'k, remod eling and * mbellishmg the magnificent structure. When all the improvements contemplated are completed, the “Scre ven” will certainly be one of the most commodious, elegant and convenient Hotels in the country. It is not only the magnificence of tho building, however, that attracts tho trav cling ptildic to its portals. Friend Mc tiinley, fiom long experience, has learn ed “how to keep a luuel,” and ho makes his gucsU/c//«/ home. His assistants are courteous and accommodating, his S servants prompt rind attentive: the rooms i are neatly furnished, clean and always ! in order : and hyst, though not least his table* arc invariably crowded with the ! luxuries and delicacies of the season. [ Those who have once accepted of the i hospitalities of the ‘Screven,’ are profuse | in its praise, and invariably resolve that it shall always be their home when in the “Forest. Fity,” and ty those who have never “put up” there, wo would say,— give McCinly a trial, lie gives yon a cordial invitation by advertisement in the Jl(inner. Do Will Morgan „ These gentlemen fully appreciate the importance of the trade of Smthcru Hour gia and Middle Florida, and therefore, to secure an equitable share they constantly keep their advertisement in the Jlanmo. And they certainly deserve liberal cus tom for they always keep on hand com plete stocks of dry goods, domestics and everything generally found in a first class wholesale and retail dry goods es tablishment. Their goods arc likewise of excellent quality and are sold at the most reasonable prices. Being correct honorable gentlemen, they would scorn to take the least advantage of a custo mer. Many of our friends have occa sionally had dealings with them, And in variably found them correct. See ad vertisement and send forward your or ders : they will be promptly filled. Tlie “Our House.’ s Among tho thousands of visitors to Savannah but few leave the city without booming acquinted with this establish ment, and its accommodating*, courteous proprietor, Capt. Karlin. After partak ing of the Citptain ’s “bill of fare,” and tasting of bis delicious wines and pure liquois, the guest would certainly be a strange compound if he did not exclaim, this is “our house' 1 His tables are sup plied with the very best the market af ford*, and it is always served up in the best of style, with attentive and expe rienced waiters to promptly meet every demand. The liar is not. surpassed in the city : none but line wines and pure liquors are served to customers. We direct attention to the advertise irient of this house, and advise parties visiting the city' who desire an excellent meal or a good drink, to hunt up the “om* House.” Tlie ISlorigctt Perjury Case. The case of Foster Blodgett before (he F. S. Grand Jury, at Savannah, is attracting considerable attention. Nnt- I withstanding Blodgett was a volunteer j officer in th Confederate army he became | a radical, swallowed the iron-clad oath, i arid was appointed Military Mayor nmli Rost master of Augusta V. S. Attorney ( Henry »S. Fitch, brought the mutter to the attention of the Grand Jury, and that body is now engag 'd in the investi gation of the case, preparatory to re porting a true bill against him for perju ry. The Augusta Chronnlc & Sentinel says that testimony already laid before the ju ry leaves no doubt as to the guilt of the accused. A clearei case ol willful and premeditated legal Injure was never, perhaps, before exposed in a eourtofjus- j lice. Whether the jury, made upas it is very largely of men whose sympathies j are supposed to be with the accused, will j find a true bill remains t<> be ascertain- j ed. Whilst wo aio not entirely without j doubts we incline to the • >n that a ' majority <:* the jury will do toil* duty, j and if they do, a finding of Irue bills is j inevitable. We learn that Gov. Brown, King Jo) n j and the whole crew of scalawags are ma-; king efforts for tho removal of District j Attorney Fitch, on ace unt of his con duet in prosecuting Blodgett. They first j tried to cajole and coax him out of doing j his duty, and, failing in this, they now 'seek to browbeat a«>.l him.— This shows that Blodgett and his “white i nigger” friends are hopeless of an ac | quittal should he be vigorously prosecu j ted. We believe that Col. Fitch will j press the matter, utterly regardless of j tho threats of Brown, Dope, Blodgett A; , Cos. —«#►— -*«► - - Pope's Contention* r* p.vp.v ha* issued mi order, direct-1 I mg that the black and tan delegates, re- j j eently elected, shall convene in Conven tion at Atlanta, on Monday, the 9th day ! of December, for the purpose of framing J a Constitution and civil government for ; the State of Georgia. So we will not be kept’much longer in j suspense as to the policy of the mou ! grels. A prolonged session is unneces sary, for the draft of a Constitution is ' cut and dried,” and doubtless will be j submitted at an early day. All that .is | necessary for the “intelligent” delegates | to do, is to endorse the Pope Brown Con- j stitution, invite the negro wenches of At-; lanta to seats in tho galleries, vote them-; selves a few hundred dollars apiece, and ; adjourn. Tlie LfiAt Chi il ne. In hid late address before the society ; calling itself “The Ar 113' of ttic Tonne*- \ see,” Gen, Sherman made use of the fob lowing' sentence : Look to the -South, an<l you who wont within** j through that kind ctin best nay if they, too, have not been fearfully punished. Mourning hi every | household, desolation written in broad charm*-! ters aero#* t' e whole face of their country, citie- j In sjfcbes and fields laid waste, their commerce gone, their system of laboi annihilated and des- \ troyed. ftuin, poverty and distress everywhere, and now pestilence adding the very cap sheaf to their stock of misery ; her proud men begging for pardon and appealing for pet mission to raise food lor their children, her five millions of slaves free and their value lost to their former masters forever. How any Sunt Item gentleman, with these facts, plain and palpable, everywhere star ing him in ihe face and recorded forever In the book of history, can still boast of his ‘‘Lost j Cause,” or speak of it in language other than of j shame and sorrow, passes my understanding, and j instead of being 1 i; < I. 1 know that their lost I cause will sink deeper and deeper into infamy as j j time more keenly probes its hidden mysteries and j reveals them to ttie light of day. Commenting on Ibis insult to a foe, whose piotvcfs* be bad often felt, whose i homes lie bad destroyed, and whose cities j ho had burnt, tho Lexington (Ky.) 01- \ server declares will only tarnish his lau rels. How “these facts” namely desola- ■ tion, cities in ashes, fields laid waste, commerce gone, ruin, pov. rty, distress cun cause shame in the sufferer, wo are at a loss to conceive. We can under stand that lhe ruthless producer of these miseries, unless wholly heartless, might j feel a deep and ineradicable blush ol ; shame, forever mantling his face. “In ] famy” is a word easy spoken. But he j who utters it es Lee and Johnston and j Hampton and their comrades among the living, and of Jackson and Johnston and Stuart and Ashby and the stainless he roes among the dead, but writes in it in delible characters across his own brow, where it will burn as enduringly as the mark of Cain. The cause to which such men gave their services and their lives is beyond the abuse of the burner of At lanta, tlitt deßotator of Georgia, the suck er of Columbia. This General has given anew word to our language : “Slier* mandizeu” will remain at once a monu ment to his cruelty' and an expressive description of savage ferocity in war. We saw some of these “footprints” of which mention was made. We saw burning houses, from wl ich aged men, feeble women, and helpless children— sometimes sucklings—had been driven in their thin night gannenrs out into a winter night. We have seen black smoke rising in numerous columns, witnesses to heaven of the ferocity of this com mander and his followers. Rape and ra pine, lire and sword, marked the track of his army. Age, sex, virtue, infancy, disease, formed no protection nay, only invited insults and outrages, which were without danger. Jewelry were torn from bleeding tars or wrenched from weak fingers. Silver and gold, stolen by* brave bummers, were at once the trophies and spoils of these v 'etories over the weak and the helpless. To-day, many a chimney and heap of ashes stand sentinel over the causeless cruelty' of this commander, who talks of infamy. When a full history' of the war is writ ten, when the dreadful nights of Colum bia** sacking* is fully revealed, then will history and posterity utter its judgment and award inlamy' to him, to whom it be longs. Before that tribunal wo are witl ing that the “Lost Cause” and its follow ers shall be tried— before the same au gust- tribunal we confidently* arraign this j commander. Had liis Filer Slapped. We undeistan i that an extreme South ern over in Madison Comity, Florida, by the name of Bill Conk, had his face decently slapped, by a true Southern gentleman, one day last week. This man Cone is the high priest in the Union League camp of that county, and has created more mischief and harm than a thousand negroes could accomplish of j their own volition, and of course he is ; heartily despised by all decent white j j men. The Radical submitted to the i slapping operation with good grace, a!-1 j though he was loaded down with fi.ro* I arms. j Fhe mmali .Y«lvoi’t ix<M*. i Messrs. F. O.

The conceded ability, j energy and enterprise of the three clever ; gentlemen at the head ol the Advertiser, i is a guarantee that the forth- oming daily i will not be inferior to any j urnal pub lished in the St at.* r TUo Davis’ IVial. Jefferson Davis reached Richmond ; j from Canada, on the 22nd, and expected ; j to enter upon his trial on Monday last, j but owing to tl.e non-arr val of Chief! j Justice Chase, the District Court did not j , convene until Tuesday'. Judge Under j wood presided. The ease of Davis it 1 was expected, would be called immedi- j i ately upon the arrival of Judge Chase, i who is expected to deliver the charge jto the jury, and then leave the future trial ot the case to Judge Underwood. The Davis trial has been postponed j until the 22nd day of March next. ! Sknshu.e.—Sume of our close-fisted, ; slow gm’ng business men might take a j useful hint from a late conversation he-! tween a merchant and an acquaintance, ‘ reported by one of our exchanges, as fol lows : “Why don’t you trade with me ?” j The reply was characteristic. ! “You have never asked me, sir. I | have looked all through the papers for I an invitation in the shape of an . adver ! lisement, and found none. I never go ; where I am not invited.” Tlie Alabama Convention. Pope's Radical Convention, in session I at Montgomery, is certainly the most ex- j trenie assemblage of fanatics that ever j I assembled in America. Its acts even elioek the sensibilities of the leaders of I the Jacobin party North, and they are ; vociferously demanding moderation. The Constitution, in the course of prepara tion, is a villainous document, proscrip ! live of all decent white men ; and if rat ilicd by the people, every man of intelli gence and self-respect, will he forced to emigrate. Asa sample of the proceedings of the Mongrel concet n, we give tire following : A few days ago an amendment to the j hill ot rights was offered, that common ; carriers shall not make any discrimina tion, on account of color, between per sons traveling on public conveyances.— The amendment caused great excitement, and two white men were found who gave the measure their hearty approval. Sev eral of the black delegates delivered in flumutory harangues, demanding ent re social equality -insisting on the right to ride in even sleeping cars. The Ala bama Convention is a fair sample of what we will soon have in Georgia. Mon til <«eo is; La Conference Thu South Georgia Annual Confer ence of the M. K.

They have betrayed their country for Congression al pardon, Monsieur Doite’s Georgia Menagerie This exhibition of Radical Performing Animals v- iii be exhibited, for the St ate ot Georgia, in the city ol Atlanta (com mencing on the fftli proximo), out of res pect, perhaps, to the fact that there are two Radical papers published there, and can draw patronage for the Concern, in ail of the Lincoln Monument Associa ! lion. The exhibition will be continued j from day today, Sundays excepted, wind ] and weather permitting. The catalogue I will consist, mostly, of gorillas, onrang j outaugs, baboons, apes, and monkeys of 1 various species and colors —the African : monkey making lip about one-fifth of the : “show.” Johnv Pope, the accomplished 1 hare-back ruler and daring tamer of wild ; boasts, will enter the cage of the fierce j gorillas and astonish the audience by ! shaking them by the paws, and densm i strafing that tiny possess reasoning j powers, and establishing the proposition j I that these animals are the connecting j j links between the animal creation and > mankind. Wo understand the people of Atlanta are making preparations for the caging ami feeding or the animals—expecting to he “dead headed” into the “show" on ilie score of hospitality. This Great Im moral Combination of Performing Ani mals will be a great epoch in the history of Georgia and a marked event in the life of every man, woman and chil l who ; •nay be able to witness the far-famed ex- j hibition.

We select the following dispatches from onr exchanges in reference to the matter : The summary of the majority report is as follows : "In accordance with the tes imony herewith submitted, and the view ot the law herewith p esented. the Committee is of the opinion that Andrew Johnson, President of the United St tes, is guilty f high crimes and misdemeanors, in that, Ac. it closes with the resolution : “Jteeolrrtl, That Andrew Johnson be j impeached for high crimes and misde meanors,” The report was followed by mingled expressions of applause and disapproba tion, the Speaker meantime using bis ga vel to enforce silence. Wilson, Chairman, Ur himself, and Woodhridge, presented their report, which concludes : "Wo therefore declare that the case I before os, presented by the testimony i and measured by tbo law, docs not dis | close such high crimes and misdemean ors within the meaning of the Coiistitu lion, as require the Constitutional iutcr ; position of the power of the House, and ; we recommend the adoption of the lul ! lowing : “A'. oGw/, That the Judiciary Gotntmt j tec bo discharged lrolu the further con sideration of thmproposed impeachment j of the President of the L idled States, | and tiiat the subject he laid on the | table.” Marshal! on behalf of himself and Kld ! ridge, stated that they fully concurred in j the resolution offered by Chairman Wil- I son, and also concurred entirely with his j argument regarding tiic law ot the case ! and the application of the evidence there i to but there were differences on some ! points which induced him and Mr. i'lld ! ridge to submit a third report, j The reports were all laid o 1 the table, ] ordered printed, and made a special or der lor Wednesday of next week. Tiic majority of the Impeachment Com mittco, in their report recommending impeachment lay great stress upon the alltdged 1 surpatiuii by the President ol the pardoning and veto powers ; also, the authority to make removals and ap pointments and particularly refer to what 1 is termed “llagruut|violatioii ot tiic con stitutional powers of tiie executive,” by I organizing Governments iu the Southern ; Slates at tiie end id the war without ; asking tiie advice of Congress, as they i assert for personal purposes.

They manites j ted great uneasiness while the panne! ! was being sworn, arid looked as though . ; they were about being put upon their ; trial lor some heinous offence. We pity ' the poor negroes who arc thus wantonly ! ! and illegally impel cd upon by the king j ly satrap who domineers over this State, ! and trust the day is not far distant when ! we shall he relieved from his tyrannical I and vindictive rule. | We believe that the presence of these ! negroes on the petit jury will cause all I' the eases on the law docket to he appeal ] cd without a hearing on the common law side of the Court. Parti sand Attor neys show great opposition to submit ting tin ii cases to the arbitrament of ne gro juries, ai.d we predict that Pope's or der w II materially lessen tiie lab ir of our Courts. —AtiywUa Chronicle <b ienti nii 26th. Alarm in Virginia A Mecklenburg comity correspondent of tiie Richmond Enquirer writing to that paper Oil the lltli instant, says t— ‘ The negroes are now debating the ques- i tion in their secret leagues or conclaves, whether or not they arc to take oar lands on the first day of January next by vio lence, if the Congress do not give it to them as they say they have promised.— That we are to have a servile war, if j some steps is not taken to prevent it, is | as certain a3 that there is a God in Ileav j on, and there is no time to lose in taking j measures of defence. None of the ne groes will hire themselves unless they I get possession, without let or hindrance, i of your entire plantation, horses, mules ! and' tools. The negroes are all armed j and the whites are not." ! The Enquirer, commenting on the above,. 1 speaks out as follows : The atrocious designs of the negroes ! would never have been conceived, or if ! conceived, would have been nipped in . i the bud, but for the fact that they know ! the defenceless condition of the whites 1 I against whom they entertain these de- i signs. Tiie negroes are all armed, and j well armed. The whites have scarcely a 1 ; fowling-piece among them This is the j ! secret of negro turbulence. In view of; tiiis we call npou Gen. Schofield, in the : name of the white people of Virginia, j instantlv to take measures for the public j safety. ’ We most solemnly and earnestly : call upon him to garrison ihe towns and villages of the State with reliable aid well-armed trivps, who will be on hand to suppress ihe first attempt at an out break. Let him do this without a mo- i ment’s delay, or it may be too late. Druggists and country nietck.aute wit) Ik- ‘ furnished witb tbe medicines, ai wholesale prices 1 at the same lime.

A short time since, a negro was inobhed and his cart smashed iu a j town in Pennsylvania, because lie dared to go into business on his own account, i Gmnparc this with the condition and privileges of the negro in the South. It is understood that the President will r ...n order that Gene-al Howard and General Gregory, b»tb of tiic Freedmen'* Bureau, h musterjjß out of the service as Major GcneralsW'f volunteers. These are the last two officers of that rank re maining to be mustered out.

It is believed that the Convention ; has been defeated. Gen. Pope's List. The Montgomery Mail states that Gen. Pope has ordered his odoriferous Convention in Alabama to ad journ soon, so that the vote on the thing they will call a Constitution, as well as for Mate and County officers may ! take place before tiic first of January ; next. The reason for this is, that if tho election comes off after that date tiie ; radicals will lose at least 25,000 voters - iu consequence of the changes of location by the blacks and expiration of their 1 contracts.
