DAILY NEW ERA. j. W. PHILLIPS. J * PRATHKR. PHILLIPS & PRATHER, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Thursday Morning, August 17,1865. THK PRESS a.ND THE PEOPLE There never hr.- been a time io the history of this Republic when there was so greet ft duty devolving upon the Press ot the South. The social condition of the Southern people has been completely revolutionised end the minds •I the people need hirtber preparation before they will be able fully to accommodate them aelvea to the circumetaucee into which thev have been precipitated. The people are somewhat loat in the maze of d fficulty by which they are surrounded and in consequence are turning eagerly to the Press ae their only hope for guidance. This throws a heavy responsibility upon that great lever ot power. Those who stand at the helm feel that the burden is a heavy one, but, as far as we have been able to ob - serve, they are coming manfully up to the woik. We know that the people expect too much of the Press, and are disappointed in many in stances of their expectations; but we have yet to learn that an error on the part ot those who write tor the public eye is passed over or molli- Ced and. excused as shou d be the f ults of a brother. No man is meapable ot wro g do ing. and unless one is detected in the commiss ion ot intentional wrong the censure should be light. Even the stern majraty ot Law lo< ks with lenience upon the gravest crime if the in tention to commit that crime is clearly disprov ed. Is it then just or right that an error, on the part of those whose business it is to advise and counsel with their fellows, should receive con dign punishment at the-hands ot unrelenting criticism t We trow that no thinking man would demand so much. The editor is not more infallible than are most people and conse quently should be treated with the same degree of allowance that is meted out to others. Wuen be shows a disposition to persist in a course ot policy which be knows iff antagonistic to the opinions entertained by the m .sees of the peo ple, then is be to be justly anathematized; but bo long as be evidences a disposition to advise the people for the common good, it were chari table, and even politic to be a little blind to his faults. While the editor is the servant of the people, he is by no means bound to become the expon ent of tbe too often ill-timed opinions of every individual. He casis his dignity aside as ■•on as he becomes the tool of any party. To express tbe views of all who are ready to make suggestions to him would render him as unrelia ble as the weatber-cock. Two individuals sel dom think alike on any important issue, hence, if be advocate tbe opinions of all, be would be absolutely powerless of doing good. It is the province of the Press to tnould the public sen timent, and not to drift along in its wake. He should not ask himself if a certain course would be popular with the people, but rather would Itbepronm, of grroa It adopted and earrfed tnrt. That after ail Is the only line of duty he can mark out for himself. Though a great truth may be branded as it issues from bis pen, if it M a truth it will finally substantiate itself. The same sentiment that threw Gallileo into prison for tbe promulgation of a great truth is still ex tant, and operates with tbe same.pernicious in fluences, and always will. Tbe world- will never be found fully prepared for a new theory even though tbe demonstration were as plain as tbe demonstration of a proposition in Legendre : but *■ Truth crushed to earth will riee again, Tbe eternal years ol Cod are hers ; But Error, wounded, writhes with pain, And dies among her worahipere.” But we did not set out to write tbu on this subject; we merely intended to counsel tbe people to close tifeir eyes as much as poesib.e. to tbe faults of tbe Press and co operate with it cordially in the great labors that are devolving upon it Wbat those labors are tbe people well know; and they know, too, that it tbe Press is left to prosecute tbe work single banded and alone it will fall far short of its object Let tbe people then put a stout should er to tbe wheel. Work is tbe great reconstruc tion agent which is to restore our wasted coun try, and of tbis work there is an allotment foi •very individual. Let us get tbe public mind right on tbe important questions that are harass ing it, and society will soon regulate itself, and settle down into a state of quietude and -pros perity. We must expect some which will have tbe tendency to retard the work, but a determined effort will smother all such tbreateniogs and tbe work will go on to a full accomplishment. The Press is simply tbe lever, tbe people is the power. Together they are übiquitous, divided they are powerless. The editor of a deceased paper in Buffalo hae libel suits to the amount of $200,- 000 on his bands” and we suppose by the time bisown lawyers are done with him, he will have a very poor suit on his back. >QL.Were Sbakspeare now alive to iae one of the prevailing fashions, he would probs ably exclaim : “ Ob, wbat a “ fell” is there my country men?" 19* Latest information from Tennessee seems to indicate that Hawkins has been elected to Congress over Etheridge. Tbe race has been a very close one, and is not yet ful ly decided. “Suppose” said a teacher to a bright eyed hopeful, “ there were two bottles on a shelf, and I were to knock two down, what would remain ?” “The pieces” answered the young idea promptly. lA-Among other appointments recently made by tbe President, wi notico the name of Wm. G, Dixon, United States Marshal for the State of Georgia. M3F Thomas Francis Meagher has been appointed Secretary to Montana Territory. a now sleeping car has been patented by George M. Pullman of Chicago. It is set upon sixteen wheels, with two sets of trucks at each end, with the springs so arranged that but little of the unevenness of the track is felt. It is ventilated by registers in the ceiling, and warmed from beneath by regis* ters in the sides. By folding doors a smoking department can be provided at each end.— There is also a space at each end furnished with sofas, chairs, Ac , which can be enjoy* d by persons traveling in a party. It is »o ar ranged that screens between the berths can be closed that it will have the appearance of a splendid day car. Several of these oars are to be soon placed on the Michigan Central Railroad. The limit has uow ceased which Wiis al lowed the people toi making equitable contraeta with their former slaves. It will be recollected that an order issued sometime since required the people to intorm their negroes of tbe con dition in which tbe war has left them by the 15tb inst., and also enter into such agreement with them as Would secure to them employment until tbe end of the year and at the S ime time enable the farmers to save their crops. We have sometimes thought that tbe whites were as undecided at present as are the negroes. Both seems to be whirling about in an eddy, unable •o float out into tbe current. A little time and i judicious course of action on tbe part ot tbe white population will obviete all difficulty and once more set the wheels ot agricultural indus try in motion. We hope the people will take a correct view of this matter and not let tbe country suffer longer from tbis disruption of so ciety. There is no reason why a full crop may not be raised next year, and there will be it tbe people will set to work right. The negro convention, says the Nash ville Dispatch ofthe 11th, closed its labors yesterday. We learn that it was thrown in convulsions in its last hours, over the ques tion of finances to meet current expenses, which amounted to $l5O. The collections from the delegates fell far short of tbe requi. site amount, but it was finally talked out of them. A discussion was also protracted re garding the printing of tbe proceedings.— Some wanted ten thousand copies of their organ printed, containing them ; others held out f< r twenty-five thousand copies, and oth ers still for one hundred thousand, that they might be spread all over the creation and the Canadas. g@“The rumor which the “enterprising” correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Commercial furnishes that veritable paper with, that the Southern planters are shipping their negroes to Cuba, is.simply one of the “ enterprising” romances that had its origin in the fertile fancy of one of those contributors which have less regard for truth than sensation. Why newspaper correspondents, who are here in the South, and have abundant opportunities to make correct observations, will persist in making such gross misrepresentations, sur passes us to conjecture. X *ii—p-T-TE* TrSW. W«nhinrrton save : A gentleman of tbis city who was in Alexandria yesterday, says Colonel John S. Mosby attracted a crowd whenever be made bis appearance, and bis presence occasioned much indignation among the soldiers on duty in that city. He came down from Warrenton to be admitted as a minister of the bar, but General Wells arrested him on the charge of having broken his parole. The Colonel briefly but respectfully contro verted the point, and tbe General telegraphed to the Secretary of War for instructions. 8«Y- The New York Herald has come to the conciusion that the worst punishment that could be inflicted on Mr. Davis, would be for tbe Government to maintain a total in difference to bis past conduct. It thinks that any other punishment would invest his offense with the “ dignity of martyrdom.”— Bennett is a subtle reasoner. A second attempt has been made to kidnap Geo. N. Sanders. Tbe plot this time being discovered beforehand to- tbe police, and three of the conspirators were arrested. It seems that some one is determined to have tbe price that has been set upon George’s head. A dispatch from Washington tbe Btb, o the Cincinnati Commercial says Gen. Ewell and family bad passed through that city on their way to Virginia, where they intended to reside on a farm. Ahirty five ten's of mail matter is daily received at the post-office in New York, and tbe same amount sent off, making seventy tons or one hundred and filty-eix thousand eight hundred pounds of matter to be-handled daily. A Toronto letter to the New York Herald, speaks of the feeling for annexation to this country as gradually strengthening among the people. The New York Herald mentions tbe stabbing of a man at a recent bail in that city, and concludes by saying the “ supposed stahber escaped.” We suppose, if any stabber escaped, it was tbe real one. B®* The State Treasury at Austin, Texas, was recently lobbed of thirty thousand dol-i lars. So says a New Orleans dispatch. The Second Comptroller lias decided that men re-enlisting in the Veteran Reserve Corps are not entitled to the S3OO Govern ment bounty, paid to three year enlisted men in active service. Railroad communication between Washington and Lynchburg was re-establish* ed on Monday the 14th. »®-We can sometimes a “ cold shoulder” especially if it is of mutton. r/rdf Six pai dons were granted at Washing ton on tbe 10th inst. BY TELEGRAPH. Nsw York, Aug. 12.—The Herald’s Wash* ington ep cial says that a large Cabinet ses sion was held to day, and report says that it was rather a stormy one. The President’s 1 reconstruction policy is understood to have been discussed in all its length and breadth, and he expressed bis determination to adhere to it, and carry it out regardless of opposition or consequences Tbe Herald's New Orleans correspondent, says continual ai ts of lawlessness are report ed in portions of Texas b rdering on tbe Rio Grande, and bnmds -of tbeives invest tbe country, driving off stock and stealing wbat they think worth taking. Gen. Weitzel commanding 25tb iv my corps, has issued an order, stating that it is proba ble that tbe command will remain in Texas, and urging officers to the utmost vigilance in of improving tbe corps, and bring ing it to tbe highest point of perfection. Gen. Canby, commanding in Louisiana, addressed eu important communication to Gov. Wells, of that State, reo.uestipg him to warn tbe local civil officers against attempt* ing to enforce police laws for the regulation ot negroes which are in conflict with the act establishing the Freedman’s Bureau, to the agents of which the supervision of these mat ters exclusively pertain. Time’s Washington special says: Robert Ridgeway of the Richmond "Whig, and John Barbor, President ofthe Orange and Alexan dria Railroad, t*day, announced themselves for Congress from Virginia -y. Since August 1 t, there bes been mustered out of service 60. regiments and batteries, including an aggregate of over 20,000 rrien. Receipts for Internal Revenue today amounted to $1,305 995,09. - The Railioads in Virginia are rapidly ap proaching completion, and will shortly all be in running order. Cars will run from Lynch burg to Alexandria on Monday, Richmond and Aquiu Creek roads will connect at Fred ericksburg in a few days, thus doing away with the present staging of ten miles. Steps are being taken to re-open at once the Man assas Gap road to Front Royal and Strasburg and the unfinished Loudon and Hampton road to be pushed to completion at an early day. The Railroad to Lynchburg will open for travel next Monday, under the Superinten dence of Wm. McCafferty, Supt. Orange and Alexandria Rai road. The Herald’s spe ial says that Mr. Grier, of tbe original South Carolina delegation, is in the city, dud reports affairs in that State progressing to the entire satisfaction of eve ry one. Gov. Perry has been well leceived by the people of that State. Mr. Grier knew nothing of the reported collision between tbe civil and military authorities, until he read it in the radical papers of the North.— He pronounces it a fabrication throughout.— Gen. Fullerton, of Freedmen’s Bureau, re turned to tbe city last evening, from a tour of observation in Eastern Florida and Cen*. tral Georgia. The trip occupied about four weeks, and was productive of much valuable insight into the operations of tbe system adopted by the bureau for the developement of the freedmen. From close observation throughout the S ate alluded to, Gen. Fullerton is inclined to believe that the number of whites and blacks who receive rations, is about equal. The railroads ami other facilites for travel, are rapidly being restored to running order in Georgia and Florida, and in passing through the country there is no danger wbat* ever to be apprehended. The crops are re ported to be looking so promising as to put all fears of a scarcity of breadgtuffs in those States al rest. Nkw York, Ang. 12.- Gen. Grant and s»*te arrived a* iue Central depot iu tbis city to-day, at 11:20, a in. The party immediately entered the cairiuges, ai,u were convened to tbe Baldi- House. The street through which tbe General passed was crowded with people, who greeted the visitor with loud and prolonged cheers.— Gen. Grant gives a reception at the Biddle House this evening, Tbe amount ot specie which left ibis city for Europe during the past two days, was two bun dred and twenty thousand dollars. Mr Parker, Casuier ol tbe Pi atnix Bank, publishes an item, this evening, which says that tbe defalcation will not exceed thirty thousand dollars, which exceeds the hanks surplus. WashixGToX, Aug. 12 Charles H. Conwtdl convicted in Criminal Court of this District if abstracting public records and sentenced t‘> pay a fi ie of $2900 has been paidoned oy ihe Presi dent. Tbe Commis-ioner of Internal Revenue bar ing partially recovered from In s.ckuess has re turned to tbe duties of bis Bureau. Tbe President to-day granted special pardon to B. F. McDonabue, of Texas, George H. Mur deica of Maryland, and Wm. J. Hawkins ol North Carolina, under tbe Amnesty Proclama tion.

Numbeis of tbe offices have been re-opened, but the appointments have not been announced yet, Edward H. Eist, lawyer, of Nashville, has been invited by rhe President to uct as bis Con fidential secretary, in order to facilitate the transaction of public business. Detroit, Aug. 12.—At an early hour 'bis af ternoon a number i>f cit Zeus assembled m fiont of the B d tie House to welcome Gen. Grant.— Brief, butelqqnent speeches were made by Hon. 2 bos. Roemau and Senator Howard. Tbe Gen eral, after bowing to the crowd retired. New York, Aug. 12.—The dry goods market trade of this wet k has been ihoderately active without «ny important changes in value. The partial stagnancy of money has checked the tendency to speculation in some lines of goods, and has so far provided an element of weak ness io the prices. The Southern dem ind is be coming gradually more important. Memphis, August 12.—The affair and transactions of the Commercial Bank of Tennessee connected with tbe Custom Hoose and the United States public property at this place, have been undergoing thorough in vestigation before a special agent of the Treasury. 11. A. Risley was arrested by C, Tucker of Buffalo. As advising counsel, Judge Bartley of Cincinnati appeared with Mr. Hasten of Memphis Jor the Bank. Tbe result of tbe investigation lias been a triumphant vindication of tbe Bank and Mr. Page, both hav.ng been honorably acquitted.

Thcßichmond correspondent ofthe Philadel phia Enquirer writes as follows of Colonel John 8. Mosby : When tbe life of John Singleton Mosby comes to be written, it will show a succession of startl ing personal adventure unsurpassed by those ot any partisan chief on record. That Mosby was always hanging on the outskirts ot our armies, cutting off our trains, capturing our stragglers, and barrassing us in every possible way tbe people generally know; but they do not know that he went in and out of our cmnos at bis own pleasure, and was never once detected. It, is eaid (and undoubtedly truly) that while Burns.de lay opposite Fredericksburg, in tbe winter of 1862, Mosby dined with him in the guise of a Union farmer from across the river, and gathered with his shrewd cun.iing, from tbe v-nial table-talk, much valuable inlormatiou, with which he regained the rebel lines without molestation, One ot the best things told of him occurred thatsame winter, and in the same neighborhood, burnside, that winter, was literally badgered by Mosby. -He seemed übiquitous, and at last it became dangerous to go from camp at all, as the least ramble was sure to result in capture by Mosby. At last Burnside became wearied out, and determined to capture the partisan, and to tbis end sent detatchmeuts to scour toe country thoreugbly, and bring him in dead or alive. One day one ot these detatebments, led by a Lieutenant Colonel, was going up the Dumfries road, when, from a house in sight of tiie Federal lines, a man em-rged dressed in the uniform of a Federal C.i| tain, and ait -nded by oue orderly, dre aed in our cavalry blue. . At the gate were two horses marked U. S., and furnisbed.with our regulation saddle and bridle, and, mounting, the Captain rode up and accosted the Colonel, who was still marching up the road. Tbe Colonel informed bis new companion that "he was in search of this——Mosby, and asked if he had heard anything of him. Tho Capta n had heard •nd knew to a certainty that, an hour before, Mosby had been at Jones', four miles.up the road. Visions of promotion and newspaptr paragraphs dancing before him, the Colonel ordered “trot, march,” while the Captain, with bis orderly dashed across a field to a farm bouse to get some milk, he said, before returning to camp. Arrived at Jones’, the Colonel found that Mosby had, indeed, been there, but also found that he had departed in the direction of Burnside’s camps. Buck tbe Colonel beat in baste, making inquiries eve rywhere, but finding no trace. Arrived again at the house from which the communicative Captain had appeared, the woman accosted him. and this colloquy ensued: Woman —Kurnel, who was that ere Y’ank Capting met ye hear as ye was gwine totber way ? Colonel —I don’t know his name, but he belonged to a Massachusetts regiment. Woman—Yeas, well kneow aint you sold 7 that air was John Mosby, Colonel—ll 1 And ho rode back to camp and eaid noth ing whatever about his morning’s work, ex* cept to report that he had not captured him. Some of bis men did, however, and that story floated about tbe army during the rest of the war. Many such things as this are told of Mosby, and his power for mischief was sensibly felt in the Valley last summer and autumn, that Phil. Sheridan used to swear at him in his most hearty style. Mosby now is a citizen of th“ United States, no better and no worse than the thousands of other Virginians who have laid down their arms. Feeding Pigeons in Venice.—lt is a bl; • toricttl lad that upwards of a hundred year* ago some bird fancier of tbe city of Venice died, leaving a bequest of money to be ex pended in feeding pigeons in that city. Trava elers say that at the hour of 2 o’clock P. M. is the time fixed for the performance. It is an interesting sight. A friend described to us a few days ago, the exhibition as he saw it. A short time before the hour for feeding, tbe pigeons began to assemble and perch upon the buildings near the place, and set themselves at work in making their toilet for dinner. A town clock near by struck the hour, whereupon the pigeons, as if they un derstood tbe signal, simultaneously descend ed to the plaza whore the bird seed was de livered to them. After obtaining their dinner they returned to tho cotes in the dilfsrent pails of the city. Now JVdvei’tisements. ajjctioSti BY SASSEEN, WIIIHKER & CO. WM. M. HILL, Auctioneer.
