Autumn still lingers lovingly in the
arms of beautiful, glorious Indian Sum
mer ; nor does the latter seem ever so
little disposed to abdicate in, favor of
stern old Winter, tn more tropical lat
itudes, where dreadful epidemics rage
Until “Jack Frost” oomes, this amorous
diltiance of the seasons with each other,
is anything but agreeable : but in our
high, healthfnl climate, it is delightful to
Ell. Our golden Autumns bring plenty
to our cribs and larders, fill the poeketß
of the industrious man with shiners, by
which his wife and children may re
joice in (the comforts and luxuries of tho
merchant. In fact, Autumn is the
erowning glory of the year; and this
Autumn is the most glorious of all. One
thing, alas! we bav e to mar our pleas
ure in the enjoyment of such a lovely
season. “Mordecai, the Jew, still sit—
teth at the King’s' g»te,” mourning tho
oppression of his people. May wo not
hope that the gallons prepared for them
by the Radical Ilaman, may soon be or
namented with tba carcass of the bloodo
thirsty monster f Somate it to.
In the matter of Bankruptcy of
J. J, Milner; pending before Alexan
der G. Murray, Register, in this city,
two creditors proposed to prove their
debts, whereupon, Messrs. Loyal & Nun
sails, Attorneys for Bankrupt, objected
to said debts being proven, upon two
grounds, to wit: Ist. Because tho con
sideration of the debt was Confederate
Treasury Notes, borrowed in 1863 ; 2d.
Because the Bankrupt borrowed from
one of said creditors, twenty-five hun
dred dollars of Confederate Treasury
Notes, with which, he hired a‘ substi
tute to serve in the Confederate armies,
in the war against the United States.—
The objections were sustained by tho
Register, End the points 1 were certified
Judge of the District Ocvrtif
tho United States for the Northern Dis
trict of Georgia, who affirmed tho deci
sion of the Register. The question is
therefore settled, that notes given for
Confederate Treasury Notes are void,
and cannot be collected or proven in
in Bankruptcy in this State.
|The following party story, told
by a Northern paper, of a Yankee corps
in the late war, is not bad :
In the Arkansas campaign, the gener
al officer found the entire —th grouped
Srbund a sew mill‘and weeping like
Niobes. “Why, boys," ho asked, “what
is tha matter V’ Matter enough," sob
bed one enterprising volunteer. “Thus
far we have never left anything behind j
but we can’t possibly steal this- e*w
mill 1" .

Washington, Nov. 5, 1567. £
Sir —As there is still quite an amount
of abandoned property on yonr l'eturns,
and much of it occupied by the former
owners, who abandoned it according to
the definition of the law, and who thro’
contempt of the Government of the Uni

decline to make any application, nnder
the orders approved by him, for its res
toration, you are hereby directed to give
notice to all such persons, through your
officers and agents, that their property,
coming under the abovo bend of aban
doned lands held by the Government,
and now on your returns, will be taken
formal possession of on tho first ot Jan
uary next, and rented to refugees and
freedmen in accordance with the provi
sions of the law. In case they make
application in accordance with the law,
formal restoration will be immediately
- made and reported to this office.

New Orleans, Nov. 9.—C01. W. 11.
McCardle, editor of the Vicksburg
Times, was yesterday placed in confines
meat by order of General Ord. The
charges were not made known, though
a special to the Cresqnf says it was for
personal denunciation.
Montgomery, Nov. 9.—The Recon
struction Convention decided against
the proposition to insert no proscriptive
features in the new Constitution. The
Radical Party propose to elect all State
and county officers at the same time that
the Constitution is submitted to the peo
ple, in the hopes of getting a larger vote
on its rat fication, and to prevent loss to
the Republicans on account of freedmen
changing homes on the first (J January.
CntCAC.o, Nov. 9.—Wisconsin returus

Cincinnati, Nov. 9.—A full meeting

Richmond, Nov. 9. Yesterday at
Blountsvillo, there were ten suits against
the Southern Express Company tried, in
which the plaintiff claimed damages for
goods destroyed by Federal troops on the
express car in Virginia. The Express
Company plead their bills, provided
against damages for loss by “fire or the
common enemy.” Judge Butler decid
ed that the Federal troops woro not
common enemy, and a verdict for $lO,-
000 given against the Comphny.
Au exosted Republican meeting was
held at the headquarters of the blacks
last night. A committee was appointed
to wait on Gen. Schofield, to request
him to order the city election.
Lewis Lindsay, a colored delegate
elect to the Convention,- made a speech
in this city to-day, alluding to the dis
charge of negroes for voting the Radi
cal ticket, in whioh he said : “Before
any pf my children shall suffer for food,
the streets of Richmond shall run knee
deep in blood." He' thanked God the
negroes had learned to ime swords and
guns. All efforts of more peaceful ne
groes to stop those demonstrations, were
wildly hooted down. The citizens here

SebaStopal not Taken. —The tele
graph informs us that the Sevastopol of
the Tribune Office has’ not yet been
stormed. “H. G." still refuses to be
swept away by the Grant freshet. lie
still hangs out the bannor of Chase and
no surrender, no even disdains Grant’s
military record, and sneers at him as
greatly overrated.
The war may be regarded now as for
mally declared between Grant and
Chase. The Rapidnn has been crossed,
and soon in the Wilderness the opposing
forces will grapple. Appomattox is
ahead for somebody, but who, only slip,
pery Fortune and an uncertain future
can decide. Greeley has pluck, brains,
honesty, and a strong hold on the hearts
of the old Whig and original Abolition
ists of the Radical party. He will nev
er say die while there’s gun that will
fire, or a round of ammunition left.

terday Maj. J. W. Blanco and Capt.
Thus. O’Connor, were arrested by the

The Hon. Quashee Gumbo, oneof
