€ri-»rkli> Star. OrlfllD. Gn., July 24U,. 13*6, tgU Oar telegraphic column to-day show# that Itosseau, of Kentucky, after being reprimanded by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, tendered lit* resignation. Congress is too hot a place for Itosaeau. lie went into the army for fame, and is mainly kuwn in the South as leader of the“Kosseaa raid" upon Alabama. He was sent to Con gress on the strength of his military exploits; but daring to make a feeble effort in behalf of manhood, is arroign ed before that august body of sticaks and toward*, fur profaning the saered per son of the radical elect, and now there >a “none so poor to dp him reverence." Exit Rossem. Who next? “This way Mr. Merrimun.” BOU We publish to-day, to the exclu sion of other matter, a reliable account of the great radical caucus at Washing ton, incorrect telegraphic reports of which have been going the rounds of the press for a week, it shows the ex treme bitterness and hatred which ex ists against us. The coming Philadel phia Convention, with its objects and aims, seem to produce paroxisms of mge among these fanatics and madmen. “ They talk of fylit who never fmnjht be fore." We look upon the temper of this caucus as ao encouraging sign for the country. It makes the gulf between tho President and tho radicals perma nently impassable, and the intemper ance and pnssion exhibited will greatly strengthen the conservatives. Even the participants in the caucus, alt! ougb they voted pretty well together, showed plainly tho incipient signs of falling arnoDg themselves. We hope to be yoblc to record the defeat and overthrow of this party, ore another frost whitens our fields. Cotton is Kino. —General news is meagre. Tho European war bids fair to speedily collapse. Politics arc ago gTavating, and bureau dissertations can only be written with a pen dipped in gall. Wo therefore propose in a few days to commence a series of articles upon tho mineral, manufacturing and agricultural resources of the South ; her soil and climate, her importance to America and the world, with sugges tions ns to her destiny in the dim fu ture. It is not to be denied that the de pression undor which sbo now labors, bears upon us with sn almost crushing weight, llut it.is the legitimate func tion of true manhood, never to give way to misfortune under any circumstances. True, wc lmve men among us whoso years are well nigh spent, whoso sav ings and accumulations for a life timo have been swept away in a moment by the stern arbitrament of civil war. Wo cannot expect theso old men to renew the vigor of early manhood, and 6huks ing oft' the lethargy which misfortune has fastened upon them, rush into the lists again resolved in tho brief days al lotted to them, to replace tho lost for tunc, llut even these old men can do much. They can onoourage their sons and neighbors to fully aecept and real ise the new order of things, and by their counsel and advice, can vastly aid the young in their efforts for prosperity and happiness—while every young and mid dle aged man should *ct his face Jinn a* a flint, that in the great development of tho country, he will have a hand. One thing is certain. Tho cotton lands of North America are to bo de veloped by somebody. We predict that ten years from to day the South will make ten million bales of cotton. If tho rising generation who aro to the manor born, do not make this cotton, the Yan-. kees will. Another thing is equally certain. Negro labor will bo the main auxiliary in producing this cotton. It only remains for us to decide whother our brains shall conduet this gigantic enterprise, and our pockets reap tho re sults, or shall “tho sceptre depart out of Judah," and tho rich fruit fall into tho lap of shrewd and energetic Yankees f Far be it from us to seek to exclude the enterprise of other sections, or other nations, from our midst. What wo de sire is, that we maintain our individu ality, that we control our domestic so ciety, and that the South, who has been historically groat in tho past—whose arms have shed an undying lurtre up on American history—ehall not now in her hour of trouble, give way to dos pendency an,! grief, but that she shall “buckle on her armor" anew, for the coming conflict—not of arms—-but of in tellect—not of brute, but of moral force. Iho great radical and concervutivo struggle now going on, has for its real solid foundation this very idea. Why do the radicals want the negroes to be confirmed in Sherman's bastard land titles to the Sea Islands t Is it philan thropy ? Not at all. They know that three years would not clapso after these titles ore confirmed, before those match loss plantations, niggers an.l all, would pass into Yankee hands by Jair (?) trade, and Yankcedom would thence— toith enjoy the monopoly of the Sea Island cotton traffic. The duty would at once be removed. It would disappear like magie. But the Yankee program-^ 1 me does not end here—it is a mere be-| ginning ; their comprehensive grasp of' mind contemplates the complete Ian~„, keening of the South: agriculture, science, morals, society, politics, must take their models from New England,, and soon thereafter the millennium will appear. To accomplish all this they must have all our best lands. For Wendell Phil lips has truthfully said that the strength of a people lies among their landholders. Is it not already being demonstrated ? In the Mississippi Volley there are now a large number of Northern men per manently engaged in cotton raising up on a large scale—many of them in co partnership with Southern men, and disposed to do right and make good oiti sens. They are going to make cotton. If they fail this year they will try again. These men will succeed. The Northern emigrants now inNortb Alabama,and in tho fertile valley of the noble Tennes* see, already number thousands. Anoth er year,will doubtless witness a grand rush for the cotton lands from Yaokee dom. We shall shall be glad to see it; provided, our own people act wisely. — But if our farmers, when autumn comes and they harvest a very short crop, be come completely discouraged, and de° clare they cannot manage the freedmen, and offer their farms for sale, and rush for the little towns and villages to set up a pin-hook trafficking business, then woe be u#lo us. The New England dream of Yakeehing the South will be soon realized ; the grand specimen of the true Southern gcntlcmau will fade away, and our individuality will be lost. We repeat it, tho cotton must and will be mado. Government needs it to pay its revenues. During the past year since the war closed, tho export and im port duties pnid at our ports in specie, reached the enormous sum of $170,000,- 000, and almost the entire sum was re alized upon cotton, directly or indirect ly. Cotton being the main thing we ex port, it is the basis of all exchanges between us and Europe. True, we ex port some gold ; but what is it for ? Why to pay for goods manufactured mainly out of cotton. This enormous revenue in tho main is realized from this staple. Is it any wonder tho Yan kees fuught us for four long years— shed oceans of “rich Irish” and “sweet German” blood, with an occasional drop flowing through lines of illustrious sires, commencing with the Pilgrim fathers, all to keep us from enjoying the mo. nopoly of this vast cotton trade f The expenses of Buchanan’s u Imin istration during his most extravagant year, was $80,0,10,000, and his prodL gality raised a howl of rage among the opposition, which almost deafened the amiable old gentleman ; and yet tho first year after the war, we find a reve nue realized principally from cotton, so immense as to more than twice pay Un cle Sam’s family expenses for a twelve month. But again. Europe must have Amer ican cotton—her prosperty m a great measure depends upon it. No other country produces tho staple in such rich perfection. It will be made, and wc must control the power that makes it. — To do this, we must keep our good lands, or at least as much of them as wc can possibly manage. The relations ot capital to labor will soon bo settled m the South, as it is ev ery where else, in civilized countries, and we must not grow impatient, but bide our time with a settled purpose in view, and that purpose should be to fur nish tho world with cotton, conform to tho new order of things, profit by eve ry good that comes from Yankeodow, and eschew the bad. If we can get Yankeo plows that will “open, drop and cover" a half dozen rows of cotton p.t once, let us get them. If we can get a patent cotton-picker that will do as much as twenty littlo darkies, don’t reject it becauso it smacks of Yankee but by all means stick to tho first prop osition : control the coUon raising busi ness. Theso hasty views are thrown out with a view of calling public attention to the importance of such subjects, and with a hope that it may cheer some drooping spirit and rouse up some slum bering minds to the necessity of prompt action in the right direction. Tho hope of the country is in its land holders; they make overytheng from which tho balance of society live—they give tone and character to society and to politics, and upon them have tho heaviest burdens of our late calamities fallen. All honor to them for tho noble manner in which many of them have gone to work to retrieve their fallen fortunes. We shall, in a future article, elabo rate upon this subject more fully, in connection with some of tho other re sources of our country, which, although said£to be impoverished, still contains a inino of hidden wealth, compared with which, the riches of Golconda sink into insignificance. Fnll Proceeding* of the First Republican caucus. _ T’ ** WHS* WAS SAID, ADD ST WHOM, OF IU FHILAHU.PBIA CONVENTION. The President denounced as Great a Traitor as Davis. PROCEEDINGS OF THE SEOOSB CAUCUS OS i . SATURDAY. [Special Dispatch lo the New Tork Times.) Washington, July 15, 1866. A eaucua of Republican members of Congress was beld<on Wednesday even ng in the Hall of the House of Repre sentatives. On motion of Mr. Morrill, of Vt, Gen. Banks, of Mass., was elected Chairman, and Mr, Ferry, of Mich., Secretary.— The caucus, so far as the House was con cerned, was quite full, but only eight Senators were present. Mr. Hotchkiss, of New York, said the meeting was called at the request of himself and otbers, and its oiyect was to have an interchange of views as to the best course to be pursued in regard to the rumored removal of office holders by the President. lie had no doubt that such removal was intended as soon as Congress should adjourn, and in his own Stste a licensed “head butcher" had already been appointed, and stood at tho door ready to strike. lie deemed it the duty of Congress to stand by its friends, and to make any sacrifice neces sary to keep them in office. He thought Congress should remain in session so as to prevent removals. A motion was put and carried that nq member should speak longer than five., minutes, nor more than once. Mr.Oobb, of Wis., offered a resolution declaring every one present to bo in honor bound to act in Congress and elsewhere in accordance with the decision of the caucus—but this was voted down. A resolution of secrecy was adopted on motion of Mr. Cobb. Mr. Ashley, of Ohio, expressed hi# concurrence with what had been said of tho necessity of taking some action oo the subject of remove a. He thought Congress should take a recess instead of adjourning. Mr. Farnsworth, of Illinois, then of fered n resolution, declaring that Con gress would remain in session until De cember. lie said that any party hat would not stand by its friends ought to go down, and we must stand by the aen now in office. He thought, too, it might he necessary for Congress to take lir-' thcr action beforo next session to pre vent accomplishments of schemes to jre store tho rebels to power. He bolieted tho President was a traitor to the patty and tbo country, and that he was reidy for any measure, however desperate, which would put the government into the hands of the rebels. What ;iis schemes were lie did not know, but he had been told on high authority tiat Mr. Seward had said that this Congress would nevor again meet again until the Southern States were restored tq (aft) their rights of representation in Con gress. Mr. Ilale, of New York, askedlbr his authority for this statement. Mr. Farnsworth replied that he had heard it from several parties. On being pressed for some authority, he said ho should not give it, and several members around said, “don’t give it.” Mr. Wil son, of lowa, saying he had no doubt Mr. Seward had said it. Mr. Hale said, in tbo absence of any authority ho did not believe Mr. Seward bad ever said anything of the kind. Mr. Shellabiirger, of Ohio, concurred in tho necessity of taking precautions, but bo was not certain as to the best way of doing it. Ila offered a substis tuto for Mr. Farnsworth’s resolution, appointing a committee of five, after ttrwards increased to nine, three of the Senato and six of tbs House, to report on the subject at a future caucus. Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, endorsed what had boen said about the treachery of the President, and tho necessity of adopt ing some measure of prevention. But he thought it important that members should go home and fight out the battle before the people. The Cabinet, ho was happy to say, was already broken up. 110 was glad to announoo that Postmaster General Dennison had re signed and would have nothing more to do with the administration, and he hoped that other members of the Cabi net would follow his example. He thought they should strip to the waist and fight tne battle out on this lino. Mr. Boutwoll, of Massachusetts, said lie thought he would be obliged to do a great many other things to save the country from the danger that threaten ed it. lie believed it to be beyond nil doubt that a conspiracy was on foot to put tho Government into the hands of rebels, nnd the President was a party to it. He had no doubt they contempla ted a resort to force, because it was in the logic of events to do so. lie believ ed Andrew Johnson to be just as thor ouglily a traitor as Jeff Davis, and that nothing could save tho country front destruction but the most prompt and ef fective preparation for every emergen cy. He believed an attempt would bo made to force the rebels into Congress, and the Philadelphia Convention was part of tho scheme. The battle, in ef loct, had already begun, and if resist ance wa9 not mode, the President would takn possession of tho Capitol. Any such attempt must and would be resist ed by force. (Mr. Boutweil’s remarks wore loudly applauded.) Mr. Warding, of Illinois, doubted the wisdom of going to tho people on such an issue. 110 was in favor of taking precautions against the President, but did not wish it understood that tho Union Party made the holding of office so important a consideration as the ac tion proposed would make it. Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, denounced President Johnson as a traitor—a mad man—in league with rebels and Cop perheads, and insisted on measures of precaution against his schemes. Ho paid he had no personal interest or feel ing in the matter. He had fought out his battlo with tho President, and had won it. But he would as soon trust a bull in a chinashop ns Andrew -Johnson in possession of power. Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, said “amen" to Mr. Boutwell, and said that many as were the letters he received from his constituents on the tariff, they were few in number compared with those he received exhorting him to stand by Congress in its measures for the Salvation of the country. He de nounced the Philadelphia Convention as a conspiracy of traitors, and said he believed that the President had got it up for the purpose of des troying the Union Party, and of put ting rebels and Copperheads into pow er. The rebel newspapers North and , South, were in favor of it for that rea son. The New York News and World advocated it as a means of.destroying the Union Party and restoring the reb els to power, and the New York Times, although it had not yet gone quite as far as this, also upheld ana favored the Convention. The President, as is well known, regards every bill passed by Congress, while eleven States are an represented, as null and void, so that nothing short of the admission of the rebel members will satisfy him. Mr. Raymond, of New York, said Mr. Kelley had not the shadow of a right to attribute to the Times, any such purpose or motives as brooking up tbo Union Party. His insinuation to that effect was utterly untrue, and was the most unmanly way of making an in jurious and unjust charge. He had bis own views of the objects to be accom plished by the Convention, and he had not, thus far, concurred in the views expressed by those around him. He bolieved that, properly managed, the Convention would strengtiien the Union Party, instead es destroying it. So long as he had reason to think so, he should continue to advocate it. Whenever he saw reason to believe that it was to be used to destroy the Union Patty, nei ther the Times nor its editor would sup port it. As to the gentleman’s asser tion that the President regards everye thing that Congress has done in the ab sence of eleven States as null and void, I beg to ask him how he reconciles that statement with t! e fact that the Presi dent has signed nearly every bill Con gress has passed ? Mr. Kollcy—That is one of the Pres ident’s many inconsistencies. Mr. Kasson, of lowa, favored Mr. Shellabarger’s substitute, though he did not concur in some of tho views ex pressed. lie feared that the Union Party would be weakened, rather than aided, by the measures proposed to be taken. Mr. Hotchkiss, of New York, and Mr. Hubbard, of Connecticut, spoke in advocacy of the resolution, and in de nunciation of the President. The resolution of Mr. Shellabarger was then adopted. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution declaring it to be the duty of every Union man to denounce the Philadelphia Convention, and render it odious to the people. lie said he want ed the lines distinctly drawn between the frionds and enemies of the Union cause, and wanted it distinctly under stood toatrno one who favored the Phil adelphia Convention could have any fel lowsbp with the Uni' n Party, lie did not agree with the gentleman from Illinois, (Mr. Harding) in his views, but did agree with his colleague (Mr. Ingersoll.) Mr. Bromwell, of Illinois, followed in favor of this resolution—denouncing the President and saying we ought to revile nil the laws under which offices were created which the President can fill—and that salaries should be abol ished, nnd other means taken to render the power of appointment useless iu his hands. Congress could sit all summer —we were paid by the year and it made no odds to us. Mr. Lane, (Senator,) of Indiana, fol lowed in a very excited speech, de manding tho enactment of stringent laws to restrain nnd curtail the power of the j President—saying he was rea dy to sit all summer, if necessary, at the point of the bayonet; that if a vic tim was wanted, he was ready ; and declaring that a million of soldiers would flock to tho capital to sustain Congress against the tyranny of the President. lie branded nil Union men who support the President ns actuated by a desire for office, nnd as belonging to the “bread and butter brigade.” His remarks were received with applause. Mr. Ilale, of New York, objeotod to tho resolution as unjust to true Union men and Union newspapers, and espe cially to the New York Evening Post, which favored the Convention. Mr. Ilale ridiculed Senator Lane's excited remarks, and thought they were not called for by the facts of the case. Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, denounced the Post—said one of its proprietors only escaped the Penitentia ry by a technical quibble, and branded the President as a rebel and traitor.— Ho agreed in branding the Philadel phia Convention as a conspiracy, and denouncing all who favored it ia aiiy way. Mr. Halo denied that the gentleman referred to by Senator Wilson was a member of tho editorial corps of the Evening Post, or responsible for its course. Ho denounced the Senator’s remarks as an unwarranted attack on a private citizen—said the person in ques tinh was acquitted on the merits of his trifd, and that no man had a right to impugn his integrity. Senator Williams, of Oregon, followed in the same strain. Mr. Andorson, of Missouri, concurrod in .denouncing the President and the Plsludelpbia Convention, and all who supported or favored either. They wete traitors to the party and the coun try. fie spoke at some length, and with warmth. Mr. Raymond, of New York, said he presumed he was not guilty of any un due assumption in supposing that tho resolution was aimed, in part at least, at him. He regarded it as a menace ; and ao far as it was a menace, and as such directed against him, he regarded it with no other feeling than ono of utter contempt. He was not responsi ble, personally, professionally, or polit ically, to tho gentleman from Pennsyl vania, nor to the delegation from Penn sylvania, nor to the Union members of Congress assembled in caucus or other wise. He held position in the Union party by favor of constituents and by appointment of the National Union Convention. W hen either of those au thorities saw fit to expel him or to ex clude him from the party, be would give heed to the exclusion, for he rec ognized their authority. But the ao tion of that caucus in regard to his mem bership of the Union party was a mat ted of entire indiffereooe to him. ' When the Philadelphia Convention was first summoned, he believed it would have a good effect in nationalizing the Union party, and in placing its action upon a broader and safer basis. He had nev er concealed his conviction that unless the party thus nationalized and liberal ised, it would be short-lived, and power would-pass from its hand to those of its opponents ; and he had therefore looked with favor on the call for a Convention. Whenever he saw reason to change his opinion as to its object and effect, he should act accordingly. If it should be ccome apparent that it was intended to break up the Union Party, and throw' the power of the South into the hands es rebels and Copperheads, neither the Times nor its editor would support it.— But a newspaper is compelled to discuss all the phases of pnblio affairs, as they arise from day to day—without waiting for subsequent developments. He brand ed, as utterly false and slanderous, all intimations that his course was prompt ed by a desiro lor office—saying that he had never asked, and would never ac cept, any office at the hands of the Ad ministration—and asserted his purpose to be governed, in his action upon each question as it might arise, by his own judgment of what was just and wise. The resolution was then adopted— Mr. Ilale . f New York, alone voting Ao, and Mr. Raymond, understanding that the resolution was partially, at least aimed at him, stated that he de clined voting at all. Gen. Banks then nnnornced the ap pointment of the Committee of Nine ; Senators Morrill, of Maine; Chandler, of Michigan ; Nye, of Nevada ; and Representatives Colfax, of Indiana ; Farnsworth, of Illinois ; Hotchkiss, of New York ; Stevens, of Pennsylvania; Garfield, of Ohio; and Boutwell, of Massachusetts. Gov. Hamilton, of Texas, 'hen ad* dressed tho meeting, by its it vitation, on m"tion of Mr. Stevens after which the Caucus adj >urned to meet at the call of the Committee. The Second Caucus.— Wahlngton, July 15.—The proceedings of the caucus of Saturday evening wero in striking contrast with those of Wednesday.— Tbo temper of the two was radically different. The extreme propositions about sitting all summer to prevent the President in m destroying the country which wero ‘ i popular on Wednesday, were receive and with no favor whatever on Saturday. Members bad reflected on the subject, and concluded that it was not worth while to mako them selves ridiculous. The report of the Committee in spile uftho efforts of Speaker Colfax. Mr. Stevens, Mr. Farnsworth, Mr. Hotchkiss and others, was summarily set aside, and the caucus resolved, by a vote of 64 to 43, to adjourn on the 23d. The injunction of socrecy w-ns remov ed from both Caucuses, in order that members might sot themselves right against the shameless fabrication and invention of tho Tribune and World.— Tho Herald reporter was ejected from his “post of honor” and of duty under a b each in the gallery at about 10 o’clock, so that after that time 1 e was compelled to draw on his imaglna tioa for his facts, and ho did it. Th's accounts for his gross misrepsentation of Mr. Raymond’s remarks. The tone of the second caucus, as of the first, was one of entire hostility to the President’s action. (From the proceedings of this second caucus we offer the remarks of Sen ator Sherman, of Ohio, who seems not to have had the floor in the first, and took this occasion to ventilate his opin ions of the President. —Eds. Tel.) Senator Sherman, of 0,.i0, was satis fied that the Senate could finish its le gitimnto business in a week, and a ma jority of that body was clearly opposed to sitting through the summer for any political purpose. There wero two bills of a political character pending. One to prevent removals from office by the President, and the other providing for tbo admission of Tennessee. For his own part he would vote to admit the Tennessee members at once, with or without the ratification of tho constitu tional amendments. But others do not concur io this. Some insist that the State shall ratify these amendments, and some that they shall become part of the Constitution before the State shall be admitted. One thing, however, is certain, the President is no longer with the Union party. We must look this fact full in the face. Whatever he can do to destroy it ho will do ; but in spite of that the Union Party stands firm.— In his own State (Ohi..) it was never more compact and united than it is to day. lie did not fear anything that the President can do against it, with or without his aid, or that of any who are associated with him, the Union party can maintain its ascendency. lie thought Union members were needed at home to attend to the coming elections. B@»There was a fine turn out on Sat urday last, at the Court House, of the people of Spalding. Tho proceedings of the meeting will be seen clsowhere. The delegates selected for the Macon Convention were eminently qualified for the position. It is hoped that the same spirit of harmony and conservatism may pervade the Macon meeting, and in fact, each district convention throughout the South. J 6?“ We have received tho official proceedings of the Fayette county meet ing of last week which appointed dele gates for the District Convention, and as it does not differ from a former acs count published by us, we will not pub lish it. Public Meeting. The public meeting to take into con sideration the propriety of sending del egatee to the Philadelphia National Convention, reassembled at the Court nouse on Saturday last, when Col. C. Peeples introduced the following resolu tions, which were unanimously adopted : Resolved, As the sense of this meet ing, That we recognize in the results of the late struggle between the North and South, the settlement of the question of secession as determined against us; and that the institution of slavery has been stricken from tho list of our constitu tional rights. We therefore accept in good faith the exigencies of our altered condition, and pledge ourselves to ob-> serve and maintain the constitution of the United States as the best guarantee of our privileges and the last security for the rights of the States. Resolved, That to maintain these ends we deem it expedient to send delegates to the approaching Conservative Con vention to be holden in the City of Phil adelphia, on the 14th day of August next. Abie and patriotic speeches were de livered by Col. C. Peeples, Capt. F. S. Fitch. Col. A. D. N unally, Col. L. T. Doyal, Dr. Mitchell and Col. Crawford. On motion, a committee, consisting of Ools. C. H. Johnson, A. D. Nunnally, R. A. Crawford, Dr. Mitehell, and W. M. Cline, were appointed to suggost the names of delegates to represent _ this county iu the District Convention to bo held at Macon on the 25th inst. The Committee reportod the names of Col. C. Peeples and Col. A. D. Nunnally, which report was unanimously adopted. On motion the delegates were author ized to appoint alternates in the event they should not be able to attend. On motion, it was Resolved, That the city papers be res quested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. L. T. DOYAL, Ch’n. A. il.
