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. Jhshop Beckwith, of Georgia, I may say, has received the credit here of being the most eloquent member of the Episcopate in America. _ y. j 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. __ Tyrone Powers.

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. Rufus B. Bui.lock, 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.” By order of Major General Meade : R.
