awfThe lovih of a pur* and patriot-
Davia’ Sjllloqoy.” y 'The man whooan
read it without a scut eye and a chok
ing in hie throat, is possessed of an un
enviable stoici-m.
An old “mutton-head editor," of the
last century, who is now playing the
role of antiquatus redivivus in the news
paper line at Macon, after appropria
ting one of the choieest gems of Amer
ican litdhature (f) from our columns,
seeks to quality his larceny by stating
that it is frets an “up country paper."
For shame, old granny— for shame l
*©“Our telegraphie news to-day is
somewhat ambiguous. In fact we be*
here the afiociated press dispatches are
generally madonna blind as possible.—
Enough, however, can be gathered from
their dispatches to confirm our worst
I -tlio r.i l.cal programme
40 being the disfran,
of the Southern people till
after the, Presidential election. The
bill has passed feo llouso, and will pass
the Senate, the veto comes
nest in order, which will be overrnlod.
We rather like this style, for we liko
pla’n dealing. We wish, in fact, that
Congress, in addition to disfranchising
thowhites, would enfranchise tho blacks,
for this would only hasten “tlio begin
ning of tho end." What next f
Ol’r Atlanta cotemporaries seem to
have been in exstacies over a “female
woman" called Lieutenant Buford, late
C. S. A., who has recently paid thorn a
visit, with a view, os we suppose, of se
curing their influence in giving circula
tion to her new book of adventures as a
Confederate officer. Now, we have but
a word to soy upon the subject, and that
is this : wo object to Southern journals
publishing anything that shall have a
tendency to cast ridicule upon a cause
to which we devoted some of tho best
years of our ljfe. Whilo the Southern
people have little left of their former
independence they can at least preserve
their dignity. It ie woll enough for
the Yankees to havo their she heroes—
several specimens of which the late war
has developed—witness the very fasci
nating svrgeoifim who was captured on
the Dalton line, and others wo might
mention. For oar side, we think Belle
Boyd should suffice. She was the toast
of ardent young boohs of the Confeder
ate “persuasion" for some time, and yet
we now find her to be tho wife of a Fed;
oral Lieutenant, from whom sho has sep
arated on thaground of uncongeniality.
We are not at this. We don’t
think she is “congenial,” whatever may
be the status of the Lieutenant.
We had the good or bad fortune of a
glimpse of this new aspirant for celeb
rity or literary honors, and think that
tkopuffatorial general of a certain daily
must have had mud on his specks when
he pronounced her beautiful. When
we saw her, she was dressed neatly
enough with one exception—her talma
was dccoratod with large sixod brass
'buttons with the Confederate arms
thereon, whilo tho general tout ensemble
was decidedly sensational, ner lan
guage was coarse and unseemly ; about
evory fourth word was “Yankee,” with
an expletive; her face Was bold, dishy
and devoid of modesty. In short, she
showed plainly that she is an unaexed
woman—seeking notoriety and possibly
dreaming of money to be coined out of
her new book. We know that all such
enterprises as hers tend to degrade the
sex and reflect ridiculo upon tho coun
ty-
yTns Timm.—While many pcoplo
fourth and South, are sweating and
fuming over the condition of the coun
try, wo have a vorySfew suggestions to
make, which may not bo acceptable to
all our whioh nevertheless
have honesty. We do not
propose iivthis articlo to discuss or to
criticise the illiberal* and disingenuous
i course of the party ih power at Wash
ington. The jrholo jtfess of the South

(Ajoot, and we can truly say that a
half has not boon said ; but our re
marks are intended simply to' apply to
our|people their positiop and duties. One
year ago the Confederacy eeasod to ex
ist through tho force of superior num
bers and moans. With its death sank
the hopes of the great Southern people.
The surrender of our armies sounded
the death knell to African slavery and
States’ sovereignty. This was acknowl
edged by all Southern men of intelli
gence. Even Joe Brown, who has been
accused of disloyalty to the Confedera
cy, has often proclaimed that the final
.defeat of the Confederate army would
be the death knell of State rights and
•lavery. It was so reoogniaed and un
fr’oldably accepted. Yet we find our
I n w *P*wegs and prominent men, bow
clamoring r igh»s as m sovereign

Wcontrolling spirits at the seat of
These latter retain their vitality in a
great measure through this useless op
position set up at the South through the
public press, and we confess that we
are not entirely guiltless ourselves.—
Ws have now, however, biased out a
new road, which we intend to travel for
a while at least. We intend to cease
discoursing upon the trickery, rascali
ty, duplicity and cowardice of the ma
jority in Congress, and tdrn our atten
tion entirely to matters of general and
useful information to onr own Southern
people, giving of dSbrse the Washing
ton news as correctly and promptly as?
possible—make the beat we can of our
servile position, and be thankful it is
no worse. After all, perhaps one Mon-y
archy is not much worse than another*]
and the inquisition of fiftoen at Wash- /
ington is perhaps as humane q Monarch"
as we deserve for not whipping the
fight or dying in the ditches. We think
that mach barm may ensue from n con
tinual agitation in regard to measures
we jp-e powerless to prevent. We are
satisfie<rfur Northern friends, “so-call
ed,” are doing us much more harm than
good. They but serve to odd fuel to the
flame of discord, and ire do not even
credit them with pure motives. They
paint the radicals even worse than they ■
are, and their past hypocriey towards
us, is but an earnest of what they will .
do in the future. For our part, we are
in favor of letting tho radicals “play
oat” their band. Their nigger bureau,
nigger school inarms, and other nigger
isms, will soon terownate in an utter
abandonment of th<3w Utopian schemes,
or else will result in a war of races,
which will utterly exterminate the infe
rior one. Whilo we should greatly de
plore tho latter, wc have lived too long
in an atmosphere of blood, to pale at
the prospect. At all events, we are sat
isfied of tho uttor inability of expostu
lations. Our voice is not heard where
it should be heard to effect needed re
form, and our tirades against Northern
politicians and radical measures, but
reaot upon us to our injury. Our van
quishment on tho field of battle, bars us
freni any rights. We shall got none ex
cept what tho oonquerors concede thro’
self-interest. Our influence and materi
al strength is invaluable to the general
government. In foot they must havo it.
JU- remains alone to us to give it in ex
change for equal rights ip tho Union.—
We can and ought to refuse it, till that
_is conceded. We trust no. respectable
* number will be found who are base
enough to barter those for a mw-repre-,

\ National Express —This new
%ntej-prisc has commenced operations
under very flattering auspices. Its ex
ceeding popularity is not to be wonder
ed at, when we consider its objects, and
tho character of its officers and employ
ees. It has had a good deal of difficulty
in obtaining requisite railroad facilities,
but these obstacles are being rapidly re
moved, and the Company will very soon
have complete lines over all the public
thoroughfares. The benefits of this in
stitution, to the public, will be immeas
urable; besides giving employment to
numerous worthy young men whom the
war has left in a dependent condition.
We recently witnessed a grand t«m
out of the “field transportation” of this
Company, in Atlanta. It consisted of
two four-horse, two two-horse, and two
ono-horee chariots, we Nkuld call them,
but the Express men call them wagons.
The horses were as fine as wc ever saw,
and all their appointments were elegant
and substantial. There seems to be no
lack of capital,, and it needs no prophet
to predict a brilliant success and a ca
reer of usefulness for this institution.
We are ihformed by the Superintend
ent, Col. Woodward, that an Agency
will soon be established in Griffin, which
will deliver freight in any part of the
city, free of charge, except the usual
railroad charges. Col. W., has been
long known as an express man of rare
ability ; and with him is associated Col,
A. M. Wallace, as Assistant Superin
tendent. The names of these two gens
tlcmen are ample guarantee of the effi
ciency of the National Express in this
section of country.

Dear Star : We hove rain “world
without end.” Wheat has rust, at least
on the blades. Crops ‘fepntr up" for
want of work ; a poor stand of cotton,
for want of good seed and sunshine;
“general green" about to. take this
country. Starvation now faces ns in
all its hideousnoss. As the Era does
not seem disposed to explain why we are
cursed with such weather, I am looking
to the Slur for an explanation, as from
its locality it ought to know something
about th» heavenly arrangements;

“Where there’s a Will there’s a
Way.” Ono of our exchanges notes the
marriage-of H. M. Will to Miss Ida G.
Way. The result will be—a wag of
her own.
thrust upon the oountry by the radicals
itvyviolation of the fundamental law,
ad&lf adhered to, will deprive the pres
ent generation faffin all participation in
Federal legislation. However honestly
and sealously Union men stay have op
posed secession, and deplored the action
of the Southern States in severing their
connection With the Federal Union,
there are bat few who can take the teat
oath, which was really designed to ex
clude the South from representation for
many years to oome—whilst thousands
of the patriotic cititens of Georgia hon
estly labored to prevent the State from
seceding; after Georgig.had linked
her destiny with her Southern sisters,,
and war had acfefllycommenced, but
of ffer sons failed in some
VafatWnd the South jn her straggle for
llpwfpcndcnce. They felt that they ow.
je3 allegiance to the State that gave them
*birth, and a right or wrong, they would,
“Seiko for their titan and ibetr Arm,
Strike for tho green gram of thair liree—
God and their native Stole."
Some, it is true, honestly opposed
the war, from its commeucemontto its
termination : and ntW« »c«ialfcftrte.i
“the stars and the bars,” arwl fillied
under the “stars and stripes but du
ring the two first years of the war, when
the qhout of Southern victories echoed
from.the plains of Msnassas and else
where, very few can be found who did
■ not rejoice an the Humph of Southern
' aqns, and contribute in some way to
perpetuate the struggle. Some were
cantlidßbs for office, others contributed
in money to purcpKe uniforms for the
soldiers : others edited or owned seces
sion
wrote congratulatory editorials, or act- -
od as committee-men to distribute funds
to soldiers’ families—all of which is in
violation of the lotter and spirit of the
test oath, and operates as an exclusion
from any Foderal office. We are aware
that many believe that if they were con
scientious Union men, and did not vol
untarily go into the servioe of the Con
federate States, that they may with pro
priety take the test oath ; out if they
will examine it closely, they will find,
we think, that they aro mistaken. *
But we did not design to discuss the
question as to who may or may not
take the oath, but to call attention
briefly to its unconstitutionality. Judge
Story, one of the most'eminent jurists
in the whole dfiuntry, in bis commenta
ries on tho constitution, declares :
“It would seem but fair reasoning up
on the plainest principles of interpre
tation, that when the constitution es
tablished certain qualifications as neces
sary to office, it meant to exclude all
nthflra- From tho Tory nnturri’bf -Such
a provision, the affirmation of these
qualifications would seem to imply a
negative of all others.”
If Judge Story has takon a correet
view of the subject, and has faithfully
expounded the fundamental law, thon it
is incompctent'f .r Congress to prescribe
any other test than thoiffi prescribed by
the constitution itself; and therefore
tho test oath is in violation of the ore
ganie law. It is true that each House
has tlffc. right to judge of the election
and qualification of ija own members—
that is, each has the right to enquire
whether or not the mombers elect have
reached the age prescribed by the con
stitution, whether they aro citiiens of
the States which they propose to repre
sent, and have been elected as prescrib
ed by tbe Federal and State eonstitu
tutions, and to determine all questions
of eligibility which aae required as a
condition precedent to their admission
to seats under the constitution ; but
certainly they toive no right to prescribe
new tests foreigWto.the requirements of
tbe fundamental law. If this power is
tbe eoDilution, then Con
gress an act cxcludingjtll
n\arnpd or singlo gentlenfen from seats,
astfley may fapey, or enact a law that
an Jr man entertaining views antagonis
tic to thejrs on.’tho subject of religion,
morals or political economy, should be
prohibited from participating in nation
al legislation.
We present the views.of Mr. Rogers,
of New Jersey, on the unconstitutiooal
ityand impolicy of this oath, and com
mend it to the thoughtful consideration
of those >gho are the peculiar friends of
thjs unconstitutional requirement:
Rogers, eof New Jersey, in hie
nutftifey report from tbe judioiarycom
miee, the test oath, justly
says: ‘TP '
“If Congress has power iqtsdd to the
oath iu the constitution, it has "power to
diminish it and kit aside. If it can
add the conditions it now does, it can
add any number more. Tbe constitu
tional oath to be administered, has rela
tion to the future only, and not to the
past, and if tbe officer would swear to
support the constitution, that was all
that could be required of him.
“Our constitution was made soon af
ter the close of the war, and our fathers
did not deem it wise to provide test
oaths, in order to prohibit those who
gave aid and comfort to Great Britain,
From holding office under the Federal
Government. At the time of the for
mation of the oonstitutffib, many of the
followers of King George resided bore,
and contifeted here until their deaths,
any of whom could have held any office
in the gift of the people, even that of
President, by simply taking tbe oath
provided for in the constitution. Ought
we not to be ss charitable to our South
ern brethren is were our fathers to
those in this country who adhered to the
government all through the revolution
ary war 7”
We preesent below a letter from Gen.
Wade Hampton, of South CaroHWa, to
Hon. Reverdv Johnson, on the subject
of the destruction of Colombia, by the
Federal troops, which folly explains it
self. Mr. Johnson read the letter in
the Senate, which excited the wrath of
Senator Sherman, brother, of the Gen
eral,- to such an extent, that he made
some ugly remarks about- South Caro
lina- Ise quote his language:
“Th(S impudence," said he, “of this
wWe thing, surpasses imagination.—
UfeTfllampton) writes to this Senate that
the State of Soffth Carolina is excluded
from representation in this body. And
I why is she excluded t Because they
violated ttair oath, aqd have for years
been tryirfe to get put of the Union,
and now that they are beaten and de
feated, they wbiffe like whipped ours to
get back.”
The Senate rjjjiculed the subject, and
the letter was finally withdrawn. Thus
it will be seen that the Senate, which in
the potter days ol the ftepablto, award
ed equal and exact justice to all who
appealed to its magnanimity, refuses to
investigate a subject which involves cot
only the reputation of a noble and pa
triotic citiien, bfit the right to insist up
on payment for property wantonly de--
strayed by Federal -soldiers. But we
Iroust wait patiently for Ihe dawn of a
better day. will come, soon*
enri later, when history will do justice
to (fen. Hampton), and stamp the burns
ing of as an aotof wilfullin
cendiarishi. Gen. Hampton only de
manded an investigation, after having
been charged by Gen. Sherman with or
dering Columbia to be burned, and the
demand was refused :
Wild Woods, Miss., April 21, IBGG.
To the lion, lieverdy Johnson, U. S. Se
nator :
Sin: A few days ago I saw in the
published proceedings of Congress, that
a petition from Benjamin Rawles, of
Columbia, S. C., asking compensation
for the destruction of his homo by the
Federal army in February, 1865, had
been presented to the Senate, accompa
nied by a letter.-from Major Gen. Sher
man. In this tetter Gen. Sherman us
ed the following language “Thoy (the
citizens of Columbia,) set fire to thous
andso f bales of cotton rolled out into
tho stroets, and which wero burned be
fore I jgterod Columbia. I myself was
iu as early as nine (?) and I
saw above fires and knew efforts had
been madedp extinguish them ; but a
high and streftg'wind kept thorn alive.
I gave no orders for the burning of your
city, but, on the contrary, the reverse,
i and I believe this conflagration resulted
'from the great Imprudence of cutting
the cotton bales, whereby the contents
were spread to the winds so that it be
came an impossibility to arrest the fire..
I saw in yoitoColumbia newspapers the
printed orjPrilf Qon. Wade Hampton,
that, pri ihe approach of the Yankee ar
my," oILtW cotton should be burned,
and from what I saw myself, I have no
. hesitation in saying that he was tbe
cause of the destiuction oi your city."
This grave charge made against me
by General S. having been before the
Senate of the United States, I am natur
ally most solicitous to vindicate my
self before the same tribunal. But my
State has no representative in that city.
Those who should be there are debarred
the right of entrance. In those Halls
there aro none to speak for the South ;
none to participate in tho legislation
which governs her; none to impose the
taxes she is called on to pay, and none
to defend her or to vindicate her sons
from misrepresentation, injustice, or
slander. Under these circumstances
I appeal to you, in tbe confident hope
that you will use every effort to see that
justice is done in this matter. I deny
most emphatically that any cotton was
Srod in Columbia by my order ; I deny
that her qjftzens set fire to thousands of
bales rolled out in the streets ; I deny
that any cotton was on fire when the
Fodef&l troops entered the city. And I
respectfully ask Ttengress .to appoint
committee charged with the dutv of as
certaining and reporting "oil the facts
connected wife the destruction of Co
lumbia, and thus fixing upon the proper
author of thal-enormous crime me in
famy it deserves.
I am willing to submit the ease to
and honest tribunal.* Before any such
I pledge myself to prove my positive
orders, by. direction of Gen. Boaure
§ard, that no cotton should be fired—
iat not one bale wajLpn fire when Gen.
Sherman's troops took possession of the
city—that he positively promised pro
tection to the city—and that, in spite of
his solemn premise, bis soldiers burned
it to the groundadcliberatebjF, systemat
ically, atrocioiftly. I, therefore, most
earnestly request that Copgress may
take prompt and efficient measures to
investigate this mat(gf fully. Not only
is thisydue to themselves and to the
reputation of the United States army,
but to justme and to truth. Trusting
that you wilhpardon me for troubling
you, I am, eto., Wade Hampton.
The President and Chief Justice
Chase. —The New York Herald’s Wash

Chase had a lengthy interview with tbe
President on Saturday evening. There
are two constructions placed upon this.
One relates to the Constitutional Amend
ment, to whioh it is known the Chief
Justioe is opposed, in its present form,
as unconstitutional, and the other to the
trial of Jeff. Davis. Monday next is the
