When the war ended, says the Green ville Advocate, the Southern .States were prostrate, ruined and despoiled if all they possessed that was valuable, save i honor—without money or means of oh-! tabling it. Their system of labor gone j forever; their plantations, to i* great ex, | tent, dilapidated ami fallen into ruins; fences rotted or consumed by fire; the owner in the army in many instances, and tlie negro barely doing sufficient j work to supply the .immediate demands i of nature for fond for himself and the few* helpless xvbite women anj children who , bad been left to bis cate. Horses and I mule,# all killed up or broke down in the , army that were of any value, anil the re- j | mnhitng few, whether good, bad or hr 1 ilfffcri n‘, taken captiv by the (O iqncrfti'g , armies of Northern civilization at amt liter the surrender The splendid herds j of cattle which once grazed upon the lux ! iniuiit grasses ol our pastures and prai ries, hud all !een given, almost includ ing tlio ‘ seed corn," to supp y the iioces situs "f the army and the wants of the starving women amt children. Where once had stood grand and stately palaces of the rich was hut a slid memento of I,lighted joys and scattered hopes; for in their stead now rose naught but charred : and blackened monuments of vandal magnanimity. Our churches had been i (h-spnilfd and cities leveled with tlie I ground; lair daughters outraged, and llie ! aged a ltd the gray haired insulted and j utilised. All this we horn patiently and j piciuiscil to forget. We swore allegiance ; to the Government of the United States i with tli r honest purpose of burying all i sectional animosities and becoming (rue ; and faithful citizens under the ling ol tin Union. We had fought for a principle which the decree of battle# Imd decided against. Honestly believing that a State hud the right to sever its existence pell ecu lily from the general Government, mid feeling that their rights wore inse cure, the people of the Soulbci'ii States [ thought the time hud arrived for enforc i ing the doctrine which they believed, J and passed ordinances of secession. This ! right cither existed, or did not exist. 1! | it did exist, the war was waged on the | part ot the United States Government without justifiable cause—if it did not | exist, the war was right. At any rate, j the war was to he tin* arbitor, to decide i this question which hud so long disturbed the political eq'iinimitv of the country. \ Thu Southern people expected—a major ity of the Northern people expected that the decision of this question hy the Iri liintal to which it hud been stilunitled would he final and conclusive. If victo ry had perched upon the Southern ban ner, it would have, beyond question, es tahlished the right by force of aims, for which they had contended But when it lighted among the fold of tlio national ensign, no one dreamed hut that the question would be forever settled against tlie principle for which the South was battling It. was purely a queslioh of right, and being a political rme, no other tribunal could take cognizance, except the people, either in*anr,s or at the bal lot box. The latter was found itnprac-j livable, and the former was resorted to as the highest tribunal and the only one whose deeisi, n would he respected Then the question is presented to our minds, since the war has rendered her , decree, and victory settles upon the j Northern standard, what is the decision? Hoes il establish tin* right for which the ! South contended? Unquestionably it does not. Then does it decide the ques tion in tin* negative and decree that the "Union and Gonstitution are one, and ; are insoperable”—that "tlie States are ! indissoluble?” Hit decides anything it certainly does. Was the war decisive? We will h*t others answer, after viewing the condition of tlie country. If it was decisive, what is the condition of the Southern States at this time. Undoubt edly they are mem hers of the Union un der the Constitution. What are tlie I rights of State under the Federal Consti tution. One of those l ights is represen tation in the legislative department of | the Government; another is the privilege of regulating its own fianehise law | without dictation from any power, and I another is that of framing its own Con ! stitution with no other restriction than j : that it shall he republican in form. | In tlie tight of all those facts how can ' any sane oi honest judge come to any ; conclusion than that the reconstruction | laws of Congress are unconstitutional. | Yet, wo are told that there are three out j "f the eight judges of the Supreme Court of the United Slates, and uniting them j the Chief Justice, favorable to prnuonne : ing them constitutional.

One Radical Departed. Capt. C. C. Richardson, a citizen of Maine, luit recently occupying a cage in tlie Atlanta Managerio, has gone for ward to render an account of his earthly career. His life was a checkered one, and his end tragical: meeting his death at the hands of a brother radical. The deceased- was well known in this section of country, and injustice to his memory, we must say he was loathed, despised and condemned by all who came in contact with him, on account of his uncouth manners, his nets of petty tyranny mid meanness, and tor h s extreme affection for and constant association with the “blessed” negro. Rut he is gone, and we will say "no Imrm of the dead.” The Augusts Chmnivle <f- Sentinel, cowmen- i ting on the deceased, says ; "Had he died amid the shock of battle | jon tlie field of carnage, the world would I | have been oblivions of the fact that such | a man as ('. (’• Richardson had ever liv ed. But ns a Radical pofitieian, a mem | her of the menagerie in session at Allan i ta, a most particular friend (?) of the | negro, lie had become somewhat notori j ohs. Not that lie possessed ability—for! his attainments were of tlie most mediocre j kind— Imt he had Yankee perseverenee. j and determined to make his mark. In i tlie hey-day of his glory, however, and while on tlie high load to questionable fame, lie is cut down as a tl wer and nasseth into the untied realms of eter nity. There is a consideration attacked to his demise which should not lie over looked. As odious generally as him sod his clan are to the Conservative while people of Georgia, none of lie m laid the weight of their linger on him. Had lie met his death at the I anils of n Conserv ative, a great lino and cry would have been raised all over the North, and the genius of Congress severely exorcised to devise the most stringent measures f. r our punishment; hut as the deed was committed by a brother Radical, we sup pose it will pass as a thing "uunatnral” and regretted as a lamentable state of affairs in their inharmonious and hetero geneous household. Homicide is Rome, —The Atlanta Intel liiienctT contains un account of a ditfienl ty which occurred in Rome a tew days ago, between a man named Brown, from Folk county, and one named Hargrove, a citizen of the town. The difficulty had ! its origin during tlie war. Hargrove was a Confederate officer, and in pursu ance with ordeis, seized a distillery in which Brown was interested. On the - dav of the homicide. Brown visited Rome, i.i company with a friend, for the express purpose, as lie stated, of killing liar glove, and with this design approach ed him, pistol in hand, when the latter tired and killed Brown. The Atlanta Convention has adopted an ordinance to provide means for do lying its expenses, by a tax of one ,f;.j or cent, on ail taxable property, the same to be collected on or bcf. re May 1-?, Noble Sentiments. A few days ago in th - Atlanta Con \cation, a discussion arose no the bran chiae clause in the constitution in the course <»f p.epnration, when Mr. W addel used tlie following language ; Today, poor as I am, I would not ex change the memory of the part I bore, humble as that part was, in the noble struggle of Georgia to lie free, fer the crown the Bo* rbon hist. I would lint ex change the memory of rnv poor part at Manassas, Gettysburg, and Chickamau ga and i dozen other proud hut melan choly fields for the hope I H j 1 erred, it was on the side of my State j and my section—an error, if one it be, that stands recorded in Heavens Chance ry upon mercy'# page. I erred, too in company ivitfi the heat the brightest and the bravest of my State. I erred with men whose names are garnered up in her heart, whose valor shed unfailing lustre upon her arms, whose fame is among tlie jewels of her crown, and over whose he ro (lust her most precious tears have been shed. At this point the speaker was inter rupted by Mr. Baldwin, who made inqui ry w hethcr he still held to secession. The reply was : Secession was settled by the war. I accepted tlio result. When I surrender ed my swor I surrendered that doctrine. I surrendered to General Grant, who is a man of honor, a. and has kept Ids pledge I have kept and mean to keep mine. Would that I could say as much fur some of is supporter# here My honor was pledged, and that is unstained. But I will not sit silently by and licsr | the memory of those who peiislicd in the | effort to make secession glorious calum niated. Those Christian herm*#, Toni Cobb and Stonewall Jackson, who bap tized your cause andiiiiiie, Mr. President, in their blood—who sacrificed life in maintaining it—over whose grave* glory weeps —they are denounced l>y a party on this flnir as traitors to tlie country, while llntler, the beast, who incited a ruffian so'diery at New Ol leans to vio late defeiicless females—who went there a bankrupt ill fortune as tic is now a bankrupt in fame—who grew ricli by plunder, robliery. rapine and theft-—he is now a patriot! Flit mo down mining traitors ! A Remarkable Mule. The Madison (Fla.,) Meiuenyer gives the following history of a very icniarka blemnle, by the name of “Old Polly,” which was recently killed on account of having a leg broken : The recent death hy accident of the mule, well known throughout a large section of country hy the name which heads this article, and justly celebrated for her sagacity, deserves some notice. Old Folly was the property of Mr. Wm. Hankins who resides on Cook’s Hammock in Lafayette County and who is one of the greatest hunters if not the greatest, America lias ever produced. Fur fifteen years, during which time Mr. Hankins iids kill) and many panthers, just one him died bear, over fifteen hundred deer, and innumerable'quantities of smaller game, such as otters, tulkovs, wild cats Ac. Old Folly has been his constant com panion in the woods She was never used for any other purpose th in hunting and had long since become so sagacious in tlie pursuit of game that her loss is a grievous oho to her owner. A few of her good qualities ns a hunt ing animal may bo stated as billows, which we know to he true If Mr. Han kins dismounted and left her anywhere ill the woods, she would stand unhitched for a whole day without moving an inch and if moving through the woods, a deer or other animal should jump up within gun shot she would stop on the instant of her own accord, to afford her master un opportunity to shoot. If she scen ted a bear, for which she had a most sensitive nose she stopped at once prick ed forward her ears and strained her eye# in all directions. In tli is way Mr. Hankins has killed many bear; for when ever she gave such evidence of the prox imity of one of those animals, he seldom failed to discovei it within a few hun dred yards When Mr. II went on a camp hunt some miles from home, lie hail only to allow Old Folly where the camp was located, then mount and go out ill searoh of game When a# much was secured as she could carry, (frequently j four or five deer, j he would place them on her back, and turn her head towards | the camp where she would go without stopping an instant to browse by the wayside while lie would continue hi# limit in another dir ction on foot. This stie never failed to do even when the direction was opposite to that of home and the latter much nearer than the camp. A few days ago Mr. Hankins was r ding this valuable mule through the woods when she bogged down and in her effort# to get out broke a leg. Ilf was j then forced to shoot her which he #ays was about (lie most painful act he was over cal't'd upon to perform. She was i 22 years old. No Submission.— -A Washington cor-1 respondent says that a very important meeting of tlio “Western Anti-Radical Club” was held in that city on Saturday. Senator Doolittle presided, and on taking the chair remarked : "The enemies of ihe Government are in possession of the great military and legislative branches of the Government, and are using them in the most unscru pulous manner to assist them in securing another lease of the despotic powers they have assumed through the negro votes of th Southern States He thought it would lie a sad day for the country when this was accomplished. He did not thinl the people ot'the great Middle and Western Stale* teouM fieaeeabiy submit to the dicta tion of a President secured by the votes of ; the negroes, but thought it would result in a terrible war.” i Radical “Econo**.”- —ln a debate, on Wednesday last, in Congress, on the De -1 ticiency Bill, in reply to Horace Maynard i that all member# should be allowed to : draw what oilier stationery they needed, !

This is glorious Life in the Far West. —Tie following from the Naitimlle Banner of the 2nd inst., shows how cities are built and tiic inhabitants live, in the far West, along the line of tlic Pacific Railroad : The writer dates his letter from Chey enne, Jan. 10, and states that he arrived there only a few and >ys before. His f ,re from Omaha, a lidc of twenty-six boors, was only ssl 40. Cheyenne, he states, is only four months old, and already, inis a population of s,ooo—Mexicans, Indians Irish, Hermans and Americans, with a sprinkling of Gamblers, pimps, bush whackers, miners, etc. There is not a stone, or brick, or two-story house in the town. Rough boards, logs mud. r tents are used, in fact, any material that will serve as a protection from the weatli L-r Three daily papers have already been started. Day board is sl4 per week, and lodging (?) on the floor is fur nished at $1 per night. Elk, deer, and ImlTalo meat, with antelope or hear steak for a change, arc among the daily ra tions. The Union and Pacific track lias pro gressed only two miles beyond Chey enne. Mr. Ford expects to remain at that place until April, when be proposes to push still further westward, towards Sweetwater mines, or perhaps to Salt Lake City. General Meade as a Humorist. General Meade has been saying and doing some very funny things lately. He dispatches to Giant that unless C in gress recinds tho test oath and permit* him to select men competent atui faith ful for the civil offices, he cannot execute the Reconstruction law in this District. That •* to say without the honesty and intelligence of (Jie ex rebels to aid him his Reconstructed State governments will be a farce and | swindle, lit can’t find sufficient intelligence and decency in the mongrel Radical ranks with which to run his machine yet at the same time ho writes to Senator Wilson that he is a Radical and desires the success of the measures of Congress. His first act in taking command of this District was to put in force one of the ordinances of the Menagerie impairing j the obligation of contracts. He permits no white man to collect bis debt* by law but permits the negr.s's to collect their debts and expels tho Georgia Governor and Treasurer from office for not paying a swindling Convention money which did not belong to it Members of bogus Con ventions, elected by flagrant frauds must lie paid but be will not permit payments to be made to the while race without whose intelligence ami honesty he can not rnu Lis machine. Gen. Meade displays his humor still further by issuing an orde that writs of habeas corpus issued by civil authorities shall I*3 respected, ''so far as to produce the body but the custody is not to lie surrendered ” The LoaiariPs Journal, ; with its fine appreciation of fun says that this order most graciously permits the civil authentic* to see the features, 1 the coat, the breeches, and the boots, but the military must bold on to the , custody of the corporal frame. Whether the civil authorities are to he required to pay for the exhibition is not stated, but it is hardly to tie supposed that the military are not rxpccttd to get up the prescribed show lot nothing.— Mont. Mail Imi’EAchment.—The Radicals ate again urging tho impeachment of President Johnson. Tin; charge now harped on is the President’s violation of law in for-! bidding Grant to obey Stanton. Grant j has been summoned before the Impeach ment Committee, and the N. Y. Erprr.n says : “The feeling among the majority of the committee is undoubtedly in favor ; of impeachment and there is reason li believe that a resolution to that effect will shortly he reported to th. House.'’ The bill enforcirg negro suffrage at the North will shortly be pressed for tin consideration of Congress, and will tin doubtcdly receive the sanction of both j Houses. It provides : "That on all qttos tions affecting the whole of the United i States, whose influence may roach to all national questions, such as the election of President and members of Congress, every male citixen of tho United States above the age of twenty-one years, who shall have resided ten days within the ; district where he offers his vote, shall lie i entitled to vote for all such national offi cere and on all such national questions" This bill it will lie observed puts the tie gro on a better footing than the white ■nan !
