ATLANTA. GEORGIA.
Weiluesd&y Morning, Feb'y 7,1866.
~WiLL ito people of the north—the
great conservative masses, east and wet
support the action of the present Radical
majority in Congress? The question is
upon every lip, and i« echoed from heart
to heart throughout this southern couu*
try. Upon its solution at the ballot box,
depends the future prosperity and great
ness, or the degradation and misery ot
eight millions of people ; the inleg ity of
the constitution, stability of the Republic,
and the liberties and happiness of the
American people We care not to enter
into details. A moments reflection will
induce a similar conclusion.
Thirteen States of the Union are pros*
trate and helpless, and save the »ite it
to whieh the Executive veto may be exer
aised, at the mercy and caprice of a radi
cal, ambitious and brutal c ibal.
When the armies of the South made a
formal surrender; its government over*
thrown and its chief Executive placed in
custody; when the southern people—aban
doning forever ’heir cherished hopes of
aeparate nationality—released their claim
to the institution of slavery, and sub
scribed allegiance ta the government of
the Union; and, subsequently, when each
of the insurgent States, cheerfully ratified
the constitutional amendment forever
abolishing slavery, all good and true men
of both aectiens chenshid the hope that
the strife bad ended. It was but reason
able to suppose that the quarrel should
close when its cauau had ceased to exist;
and that k a n=w era of peace and pros*
perity was before us.
The President, and all the chief oflicers
of the army, expressed themselyes satis*
find with the manner in whieh the south
ern people had accepted the issue, and a
willingness to trust them in their renewed
allegiance to the Federal Government.
Not a soldier of the Union army—save
perhaps a lew disappointed and bad men,
who owed their position to pure accident
—entered a dissenting voice. This was
natural. Ihe brave are ever generous-
Gen. Grant treat’d the vanquiseed army
of the heroic Lee as became a man of hon
or and noble impulses. Sherman extend
ed to Johnson even more favorable terms.
The Prsident generously laid aside g !all
former political prejudices and extended
the right hand of fellowship to his brave
but unfortunate countrymen. It remain
ed only for the original disunion party
of the north, headed by men who had la
bored for thirty years to drive the south
of the Union—men who had prudent*
ly kept out of personal danger during the
late dreadful struggle—men who seek to
trample thej>uistitution under foot and
«nhvprt ltwe ||;. Government —men whose
eases in exact latio as the
—men of cowardly hearts
M^jpttuudiustincts—to renew the con
test on a victorious field and to thrust at
a fallen foe.
As in every army there are eamp fol
lowers and plunderers who visit the field
for booty after the battle has been fought
and won ; so in politics there is a similar
species of cowardice. One seeks the
purse of the dead ; the other would tan*
insult and domineer over a fallen
aircChelpless adversary. One is prompt
ed by tl.e love of gain, and would seek
substantial esmforts ; the other is prompt
ed by the purest motive, fresh from the
Source of Evil, and enjoys the operation
because it g, atifies the cravings of a can
kered soul. One seeks to better his pe*
cuniary condition ; the other finds a suf
ficient reward in the gratification of a
malevolent disposition.
Some of the members of Congress
appear t > be under the influence of the
Persian Hasheesh that makes them live
in a world of dreams and idle fancies.
Take for instance the extract from the
proceedings of a single day. In the
Senate, where might be expected grave
deliberation on issues whose settlement
are of permanent importance to the
country, the proceedings open thus :
Mr. Lane, of Kansas, said :

of one hundred and twenty-four beauti

of the city of Lawrence, Kansas, pray

States from disfranchising any of their

Letter from Cincinnati.
Lyttle House, Cincinnati Ohio, )
Feb. Ist, 1866. J
The false and injurious rumor that a
large number ol the business houses of
Atlanta had failed, I find quite prevail
ent here, as also in Louisville and Nm-h
ville. This you know to be untrue ; btr j
1 have heard it from Alabama to Ohio. I
It. has already worked incalculable inju- |
ries to Atlanta, ami how much is yet to |
come remains to be seen. 1 have con- ,
versed with numbers of merchants from i
Chattanooga to this city, and every
one, with a rare exception entertain the
belief that the Gate City bubble will
soon explode. It is impossible to disa
buse their minds. Some go so far as to
say that goods can be bought cheaper
in Atlanta than in Cincinnati. Would
it not be a good idea for your merchants
to advertise in the Cincinnati papers ?
Louisville merchants fear that the trade
heretofo e bestowed upon them will puss
on to this city. As a proof of the val
idity of such fears, several strong Louis
ville firms have removed to this city.
Cincinniti is all life and bustle.—
An immense trade is being carried on
with the Southern States. This is in
deed the ‘‘Queen City of the West.”
I met here quite a number of influen
tial business men who were on the
‘other side of the river” during the re
cent “row.” Indeed, a majority o'those
with whom I have the pleasure of an
acquaintance express themselves that
way’. I was in the store of the re
nowned Gen. Basil Duke, this morning.
He, with bis brother, and Dick Morgan,
have gone into the commission and gro
cery business on an extensive scale. —
They will probably do a heavy business,
especially in Kentucky. The General
looks well and thoughtful.
Os course accounts of the terrible
steamboat disaster have reached you
ere this. I have seen some of the pas
sengers who escaped from the ill-fated
steamer Missouri, and they give a most
melancholy account of the affair. Such
things seldom come alone. Like an
epidemic, when it once gets a start, it
spreads rapidly. I have read accounts
of not less than five terrible steamboat
disasters within as many days. It is
strange.
Persons visiting Louisville, or pass*
ing through, should by all means stop
at the United States Hotel, of that city.
Its chief clerk, Col. Cox, late of C. S A.,
is a perfect gentleman ; and his no less
polite corps of clerks do all in their
power to render guests comfortable and
happy during their stay.
Nashville also can boast of as good a
Hotel as can be found. The City Hotel,
on the public square, is all that its pro*
prietors claim for it.
A telegram of this date says the
Banner, at Nashville, has been sued for
libel, by a Theatrical concern. Well,
if I was a citizen of Nashville, and a
jury was to render a verdict in this case
in favor of the plaintiff, I would pull up
stakes and quit. The concern aggriev
ed is as poor a substitute for a Theatre
as lever saw, and the Banner was only
expressing the views of the entire res
pectable portion of the city when it
printed the article that drew forth the
suit. May be “these few lines” maybe
construed the same way. To say the
least, it is a poor concern.
To day is called fine and pleasant by
the habitues-, but to a gentleman from a
more Southerly clime, it is most con
foundedly breezy. At least, that is my
pheelinks. W. H. M.
Late from Washington.
Washington, Feb. 5.—A circular has
been issued from the Treasury Depart*
ment rescinding former orders in relation
to the taxation of manufactured articles
in the hands of manufacturers in the
Southern States, which have hitherto
been exempt from from taxation. After
the Ist of March, such articles will be
subject to the prescribed rates of taxa*
tion under the Excise Law, no matter
what may be the date of their manufac
ture.
In the House to-day, an amendment to
the rules was offered and laid on the table
to set apart one day in each week for the
consideration of public business, to be
called the White Man’s 1 »ay.
A resolution was offered to instruct the
committee on reconstruction to enquire
into the expediency of levying a tax on
rebellious States, in order to defray the
expense of keeping up a standing army
among them to keep the peace.
The House resumed the consideration
of the bill extending the powers of the
Freedman’s Bureau. An amendment
was adopted that its operations be con
fined to those States where the habeas cor
pus is suspended.
In the Senate. Mr. Fessenden called
up the joint resolution of the commmittee
on recostruction, proposing a constitution
al amendment basing representation on
population, and excluding from represent
ation all persons denied the right of suf*
frage on account of color.
Mr. Sumtier spoke in opposition, and
offered a sub-titntc declaring that in civil
and political rights, all persons shall be
before the law. He occupied the
attention of the Senate during the entire
day, contending for >he perfect political
and civil equality of all men. His speech
will not be concluded until to*morrow.
Post Office Telegraph.—ln the
Seriate, Jan. 30th, Mr. Brown offered
the following, which was adopted:
Resolved, That the Committee <n
Post Offices and Bost roads be instruct
ed to inquire into the expediency of au
thorizing the Post Office Department to
constiactand operate telegraph lines

of them as it may deem necessary, orto

Gen. Lee in Georgetown.
New York, Jan 3. —A special to the
Commercial says that General Lee is in
Georgetown, a guest of hm so-mer
ward, wile of the Spanish Secretary of
Legation.
Coit grr ail on al.
A bill was reported from the Commit
tee on Appropriations, by Mr. Stevens,
m iking appropriations for the Execu
tive, Legisl**ive, and Judical debts of
the Government, for the year ending
June 30, 1867, and was made the spe
cial order for Monday
Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, in the
chair, the House proceeded to the con
sideration of the Senate bill to enlarge
the powers of the Freedmen s Bureau.
Mr. Marshal said it was difficult to
conceive of a more important measure
than that now pending, as its proposed
object was to look after the race of peo
ple whioh has been released from bond
age, and which lias involved the expen
diture of untold millions of dollars. He
denied that the Federal Government
can become ti cotnmon almoner of the
people, and also denied that Congress
I could put their hands into the p ickets
of the poor and industrious laborers,
and take part of their hard earnings to
distribute the money among those who
' may receive it. He denied that the
Federal Government was established
for any such purpose, and further, that
there was no author.ty or warrant in the
Constitution for such an extraordinary
measure. He stated at considerable
I length liis objections to the bill.
Mr. Hubert of Connecticut, and
j Moulton of 111., supps/rted the bill.
Mr. Kelly of Pa , said a distinguish*
cd gentleman ot Alabama called on him
and showed him a newspaper, contain
ing the proceedings of a court, senten
cing a black man end woman to death
for larceny, or imprisonment for 99
years. The editor of the paper justified
the verdict saying a plantation and not
a ci y was the proper place for negroes.
Mr. Rousseau of Kentucky, asked
the name of the distinguished gentle
man.
Mr. Kelly replied, the gentleman s
I Mr. Spencer, who as Colonel raised the
| first regiment of loyal Alabamians.
General Rousseau said this was the
first time he had heard of General
Spencer.
General Kelly replied that it was
quite possible, and yet General Spencer
I might be a distinguished general, for
the intelligence of the world does not
reach central Kentucky.
General Rousseau said that he was in
middle Tennessee two years, and would
not say that Spt ncer was not there; but
| he would deny ghat Spencer was a dis
tinguished general, or any thing else.
General Kelly remarked that he would
take ti e word of General Sherman as
against that of the General from Ken
tucky. He knew that General Spencer
had served with General Sherman, and
thought he was on his staff. He repeated
that they hanged black men and women
I in Alabama, or imprisoned them for
ninety-nine years for larceny, but no
such punishment was meted to white
rebels, who shot black men.
Mr. Moulton resumed. His remarks
were in favor of the bill. He said no re
publican form of government can, or
ought to exist while four millions of
people were deprived of their rights.
Mr. Ritter, of Kentucky, spoke against
the bill.
Mr. Kelly, in explanation of what he
had said in a previous stage of the pro
ceedings, read an extract froai the Tusca
loosa Observer, of December last, show
ing that a number of freedmen and wo
men were coulricted and sentenced to the
Penitettiay in every case, for various
terms, for larceny, while white men who
stole horses were sentenced to be banged.
Unless the negroes reform there would
be a necessity for a Penitentiary in every
county. The negroes ought to be kept
fiom congregating in towns. The true
place for them was the plantation. If
I they are separated from the plantation
they cannot obtain subsistence, and h»nce
it becomes necessary for them to steal to
satisfy the Wants of nature.
Mr. Rousseau said he did not justify any
wrongs, but rose to discuss the bill under
consideration. He was opposed to it, not
from any personal spirit, but because it
would lead to an iejury of those it claim
ed to protect. He was not a republican,
but had acted ffith the Union party, and
I he was sorry to say that the Union and
the Republican party were not always the
i same. During the last four years he had
j acted with the Republican party to sup
press the rebellion, and had given it a
hearty and honest support. The object
of the war at the outset was declared to
suppress the rebellion, defend the consti
tution and restore all the States to their
dignity and rights which they enjoyed
before the contest began. He believed
that the Republican party would not save
the Union, because they suppressed the
will of the people. There was now no
aimed rebels to make war, and should
they, with such standing armies as they
could always obtain, talk about war with
unarmed men and women at the south ?
This bill was an absolute disgrace, not only
in his judgment, but also in that of those
who would suffer by it. He then remaik
ed there was a freedmen’s Bureau in Al
abama, but it could not prevent the hang
ing which was referred to. So far as he
understood the Freedmen’s Bureau in
Kentucky, it, by its indiscretion harras.sed
loyal men. Let ns do what is honest
ourselves before we demand it of others.
There was no reason whatever for the il
legal and unconstitutional legislation pro
posed, after all ihe sacrifices of Union men
to put it down, they had been told by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania, Mr. Ste
vens, by the gentleman from Ohio, Mr.
Shellabarger, and other extreme men,
that the southern States were out of the
Union, and that the Constitution must
be amended to keep the Republican par
ty in power. With him the loss on the
northern and southern secessionist was
the same. He holds a potfitien from
which he could not ba tlrivn, which is,
that every citizen of the United States
holds a pm amount allegiance to the Gen*
era! Government, and that such allegi
ance, when given, entitled every such cit
izen to all tha protection which could be
afforded. The war was supported for the
Union, and this purpose was declared by
Congress after the battle of Bull Run.
But now they were gravely told that the
southern States were ou of the Union.
He referred to the refusal of the House
to admit members elect from Arkansas
even to the privilege of the floor, and to
the members from Tennessee who weie
denied admission to their sea's. These
men were earm st in their support of the
kJJnion cause, and some of them rendered
service in the field.
.one. to Withdraw from Mexico.
Feb. 3.—The Tribune’s
° special says that letters hav.
just been received from Paris, confirming I ]
every important particular of the informa- I
tion concerning the intentions of the Em- i
peror of France to withdraw his forces j
from Mexico with the least possible de- I
lay, demanding nothing of the United
States Government except to remain neu ! ;
tral between the belligerunt parties, ac- I
cording to the assurance frequently given
and reiterated by this government for the
last three years. I’he Emperor of Franco
does not ask tor the recognition of Max- 1
iniilian, nor insist upon any other treaty I
stipulations. The statement put forth 1
by the Paris Bresse that an extraordinary
commission has been sent to Mexico to
make preparations for the evacuation, is
confirmed by ktters received in Washing -
ton, and there is good reason for believ
ing that the State Department is already
in possession of official information to this
effect, and it is to be hoped that such in
formation will soon be laid before the
public. The statement here given comes
from a most trustworthy source, aud may
be looked upon as absolutely trustworthy.
From Mexico.
New York, Feb. 3.—The Herat Ts
Vera Cruz correspondent says that ar
rangements are being made for the with
drawal of the French troops, and they
will leave the country as soon as their
term of service expires.
Many of those who emigrated from the
Southern States to that country are get
ting disgusted with the French, aud are
returning to the United Stales.
The Notieioso, a paper of Vera Cruz,
thought to be somewhat liberal iu its
views, had been ordered to discontinue
the publication of its correspondence
from the United States, and also
Europe, ou the subject of th? relations
existing between France and the afore
srid country.
It was rumored that Senor Hidelgo had
arrived from France to tell Maximilian
that Napoleon can not longer help him,
aud that he had better prepare to resign
the Imperial posnion. Maximilian ex*
pressed his willingness for the French
troops to be withdrawn if the United
States (?) would send him troops to re* J
place them. He also expressed his wil- I
iingness to abdicate in favor of Iturbide. ■
It was rumored he Would soon receive ■
another million dollars from France, and
that he will make changes in his cabinet
soon.
The difficulty between the Pope and
the Mexican clergy, on account of the ;
church property confiscations continues. I
About thirty thousand stand of arras
for the Imperialists recently arrived at
Vera Cruz rom New York, but being con- I
detuned as unservicable were sent bark
It is said that thus far no land has been ,
alotted to immigrants, except to a colony
of Imperial soldiers discharged from the
‘ service. A few American families who
came to this country, induced by the j
flaming address Os Maury & Co., have
expended their last dollar, and are in a
pitiful condition. There is land held by
the Government in large quantities, but
the Confederate and Imperial office-hold
ers made sad work of the power placed
in their hands, and invited iraigiation
prematurely.
1 It was reported that Miximilian had
1 recently said in public that he intended
to continue the course he had begun in
1 Mexico, and pursue his destiny.
The court martialing and execution of
’ Republican prisoners by the Imperialists
and anarchial proceedings throughout the
country continue.

Petroleum as Fuel. —A late letter
from London says :
There is good news for those interest- j
ed in petroleum. A series of official ex
periments have been for somo time in j
progress nt Woolwich, and the results
have been of the most gratifying charac
ter. The object of these experiments
was to test the capacity of petroleum as
a substituta for coal in the production of
steam. One grand conclusion arrived at
I is that by the use of the oil an engine of
; 100 horsepower becomes exalted into one
' of 140 or 150, the gain being from 40 t >
50 per cent- !t has also been satisfacto
rily determined that the oil may be car
ried to sea in tanks, and be incapable of
ignition, even though a red-hot cannon
ball went through the mass) The fur
nace required for the >iso of the oil
would be Y iry small, so that a latge an 0 ini
lof storage room would be saved. The re
‘ port states that “the first great naval
power that adopts petroleum will have an
immediate advantage over the fleets of all
; other nations, and the latter will be com*
, j pelled to accept the invention, however
i I determined at first to deny its value.”
I Eleven hundred dollars have been
j paid to the widow of Capt. Wirz, at
Washington, by a Confederate officer,
in compensation for household property
seized and sold during the war.
