tior. It lias shown a kind heart, a very
kind heart toward the distressed South.
Through its influence, there have been,
;:,d will be, liberal donations to Episco
pal charities in that, region, and it is likely
‘hat steps may also be taken to rebuild
the Churches burned by the u trooly
Soil.’’ If the Convention could also man
' ( , c t 0 procure the restoration of the coni
linion services, some of which, as taken
■ ,in the South Carolina Churches, date
ji oin the days of Queen Anne, it would
,dd to its obligations, but, perhaps, this
is too much to expect. The sacrilegious
vUiians who stole them have doubtless
ndted them down in this time into spoons
~nd forks, with a huge, flaring coat of
rms, also stolen, of the noble family of
beShoddy upon each. The next Con
vention meets in Baltimore, in 1871.

A great sensation is the late earthquake
in San Francisco. As I write, word has
; :st come that it has been felt a second
time, and last night quaked people out of
their beds, making the city streets resem
bie so many avenues filled with ghosts.
This phenomenon is evidently a continua
tion of the convulsion which lately deso
lated Chili and Peru, and seems creeping
a; up the West side of the continent to
ihe Northward. If it keeps on, it will,
doubtless, ead by knocking Uncle Billy
Seward’s late purchase, Alaska, into
.v/? ithereens. Not that the Czar will care;
he’s got his $7,300,000 in gold safe in
his pocket by now. When Alaska has
been duly shocked, it is to be hoped the
earthquake will take a turn down South
Everything there is upside down now —
the Nigger above the white man, vice
above virtue, and Meade, with his bayo
nets, as head devil of all—and nothing
but some huge convulsion, that would up
set everything over again, seems calcu
lated to restore our old peaceful and
happy status. Seeing the monstrous
abortion that has been set up in the
South, au abortion that must surely have
been designed from a drunken man’s
dream, and then reading of the worm, aud
the caterpillar, aud the rot, one cannot
but adapt the line old Scotch air, and
cin nr •
- UJ b •
1 Too see good cotton in the f olds,
And a gallon's built high to hang these thieves;
And the Right in the place where the Right should Ic,
Thai is the thing would wanton me."
But, patience. To-morrow is anew
day. That earthquake is coming. Act
on Napoleon the Grent’s motto in the
meantime—don't do anything your enemy
wants you to do, because ho is your
enemy, and if it were not to your detri
ment and his advantage, lie wouldn’t
want you to do it.
There are some queer businesses in
this city. There is a manufactory of
false noses for one, and a fellow who
bites rats for a living for another. There
are also creatures who earn their bread
as spies. If a wife thinks her husbaud
.s casting the eye of regard on “ that
horrid woman,” these spies will dog bis
footsteps for pay, and furnish his spouse
with a full account of his little game. If
a merchant thinks his clerks are cheat
ing him, or a book-keeper makes false
entries, it is but to put one of these blood
hounds on the trail, and the defaulter, if
such he b$ is sooner or later run down.
The latest business is the manufacturing
of “ headless roosters.” A cruel scoun
drel has been found who cuts off a chicken
cock’s bill, strips his head and neck of
feathers, puts out his eyes, and then, as
the poor thing presents the appearance
of having been decapitated, sells him to
-hows, it is pleasant to state that the
wretch has been put in jail. A recent in
vention is a street-car which has metallic
feet, whereby it walks along. An end
less chain passes over cylinders on either
side, and, as the horses pull the ma
chine, the feet alternately pop out and
disappear. On its first appearance, a
iowey resented this invention as an in
trusion, and gave the inventor a black
eye Since then the walking-car has
gone into retirement.

Whereas, it is reported by reliaolc citizens from
many counties of the State, that preparations are
being made to collect onerous taxes, levied under au
thority of the Constitution of Eighteen hundred and
sixty-five (1865), and failing to collect, to apply the
provisions of the present Constitution, and thereby
exclude many citizens from the privilege of voting :
Therefore, I, Ruius B. Bullock, Governor and Com
mander-ln-Chief of the Army and Navy ofthe Stato of
Georgia, and of the Militia thereof, by virtue of the
authority in me vested by the seventieth (7U) Section
of the Cpde of Georgia, do hereby suspend the collec

pension, the Comptroller General will forthwith give
notice to the Tax Collectors of the several Counties.

PROCLAMATION.
BY THE GOVERNOR.
Whereas, notwithstanding the Executive Proclama
tion of September 14th, 1868, many lawless acts have
occurred in violation thereof, whereby the lives and
property of citizens have been destroyed, the right of
free speech impaired, the performance of the duties of
the offices to which citizens lurve been elected, denied;
the lives of citizens so threatened as to cause them to
abandon their homes and property;
And, Whereas, ‘'The protection of persons and
property is the paramount duty of Government, and
shall be impartial and complete;”
And, Whereas, The Sheriff of each County is, by
law, charged with the preservation of life, property,
and peace, in each county:
Now, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor, and
Commander-in. Chief of the Army and Navy of the
State of Georgia, and of the Militia thereof, do hereby
issue this, my Proclamation, charging and command
ing the said Sheriffs, and each and every other civil
officer in every County in thfs Shite, to see to it tlwq
the lives and property of all citizens, and the peace o f
the community, are preserved; and that all persons
are protected in the free exercise of their civil and
political rights and privileges. And, further, to make
known that, for failure iu the performance of duty, the
said Sheriffs and other civil officers will be held to a
strict accountability, under the law. And, to charge
upon every person, resident in this State, that they
render prompt aud willing obedience to the said
Sheriffs, and other civil officer, under all circumstances
whatsoever; and that they demand from said officers
protection, when threatened or disturbed, in their
person or property, or with denial of political or civil
rights; and, that failing to receive such protection,
they report the facts to this Department.
The following extract from General Orders No. 27,
dated October 8, 1808, from Headquarters, Department
of the South, is published for the information of Civil
Officers and the general public, by which it will be
seen that said Civil Officers will, in the performance of
their duties, be sustained by the military power of the
United States.
Given under my hand, and the Great Seal of the Sta te,
at the Capitol, ia the City of Atlanta, this 9th day of
October, in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred
and sixty-eight, and of the Independence of the
United States the ninety-third.

By the Governor ;
David G. Cotting,
Secretary of State.
“Hkadq’rs, Department of the South, )
Atlanta, Georgia, Oct. 8, 1868. )
General Orders Xo. 27.
Whereas, By an Act of Congress of the United
States, approved March 3d, 1865, it is made the duty
of the military authority to preserve the peace at the
polls at any election that may be held in any of the
States; and, whereas, this duty has become the more
imperative, from the existing political excitement in
the public mind, from the recent organization of civil
government, and from the fact that Congress has, by
statute, prohibited the organization of military forces
in the several States of this Department, it is, there
fore, ordered,
“That the several District Commanders will, as soon
as practicable, on the receipt of this order, distribute
the troops under their commands, as follows:
* * * * *
In the District of Georgia ;
One company 16th Infantry, to Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company* 16th Infantry-, to Augusta.
One company 16th Infantry to Washington, (Wilkes
County.)
One company 16th Infantry, to Americas.
One company 16th Infantry, to Thomasviile.
One company (C), stli Cavalry, to Athens.
The company at Savannah to be reinforlcd, should
occasion require, by such number of the men at Fort
Pulaski as cun be spared from the post.
* * * * *
“Detachments, when necessary, may be made to
points in the vicinity of each post; but, in no case, nor
on any pretext whatever, will detachments be sent
without a commissioned officer, who will be fully
instructed by his Post Commander.
“The troops will be considered as in the field, and
supplied with the necessary camp equipage; the men
tol>e furnished with common tents, if practicable, and
if not practicable, with shelter tents. Commanding
officers are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily,
when it can be done for reasonable rates; but this will
not preclude the necessity- of carrying tents, as the
commands, in all cases, must be iu readiness to move
at the shortest notice, with all supplies required for
their efficiency.
“District Commanders will instruct Post Com
manders in their duties, and the relative position of
the civil and military powers. They will impress on
Post Commanders that they are to act in aid aud co
operation, and in subordination to the civil authorities;
that they arc to exercise discretion and judgment, un
biased by political or other prejudices; that their
object should be exclusively to preserve the peace aud
uphold law and order; and they must be satisfied such
is the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid;
that they must, in all cases where time will permit,
apply for instructions to superior authority; but they
must, at all hazards, preserve the peace, and not be
restrained by technical points, when, in their consci
entious judgment, under the rules above set forth, it
is their duty to act. Post Commanders, on being no
tified of the proposed holding of political meetings,
maj. send an officer, and, if necessary, a detachment,
to watch the proceedings, and see that the peace is
1 preserved,
“To the people of the several States composing the
Department, the Major-General Commanding appeals
that they will co-operate with him and the civil
authorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving
the peace, and in avoiding those scenes of riot and
bloodshed, and the wanton destruction of property
and life, which has already, in some instances, been
enacted in the Department. He urges abstinence
from all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor
shops on day# of political meetings and of election; the
abstaining from currying arms, and asserting the indi
vidual right of construing laws by force of arms. No
just cause js ever advanced by resort to violence. Let
there be charity and forbearance among political op
ponents, whatever may be Hie result; let each good
citizen determine that all who, under the law, have the
right to the ballot shall exercise it, undisturbed. If
there are disputed points of law, let them be referred
to the Courts, aud let not mobs, or political clubs, or
other irresponsible bodies, construe and undertake to
execute the law. This appeal is made in the earnest
hope that the Major General Commanding can rely on
the good sense and correct judgment of the mass of
the people, aud that he will not be compelled to resort
to the exercise of the power with which he is intrusted,
and which he will most reluctantly employ. But he
thinks it his duty to make known, that, so far as the
power under his command will admit, he will not
permit the peace to be broken, and that he will not be
restrained, in the conscientious discharge of his duty,
by technicalities of laws made when the present
anomalous condition of a flairs were neither anticipated
or provided for.”
