We regret that we are compelled to go to press before we hear from its organization and action. President Jobimou and llac .South. We have conversed with gentlemen direct from Washington, and have carefully observed all of the President's conduct towards tho people of the Southern States, and all of our iufoimation goes to prove conclusively that President Johnson is doing all that it would be prudent for him to do for us at this time. The members of the present Congress of the United States were elected during the war, and when the people of the North felt very bitter towards us, and a large majority of them were elected to represent this feeling. These men have the power and the disposition to em barrass and thwart the President in many of his plans of benevolence towards us, and they stand ready to take advantage of every mistake which we make, and every foolish w ord we may utter We hope and believe that if the election of Ccn gressmen at the North was now to take place a different set of men would bo returned ; but for the present we have to do with those already elec ted. The great object of the Black Republican party at the North, is to keep Southern members from taking their seats in Congress until the peo pie of the Sorftli shall be compelled to give the right of suffrage to the negroes. They believe, if the negroes are allowed to vote, t!,»i they enn re main in power : but without that vote they know they will be defeated. For this reason they will do all in their power to keep the Southern States out of the Union until we allow the negroes to vote. President Johnson, on the other hand, wants the Southern States admitted back into the Union, and he does not want them to be compell ed to give the negroes the right to vote. There is therefore, a warfare going on between the Presi dent and a portion of the Black Republican par ty. The Democratic party at the North, and Wrong.—Some persons think the Convention ought to go to work and fix up the State Consti tution, so that there will be nothing left unattend ed to—even if it takes a month to do it. The duties of the Convention are fow and simple: the Legislature can do many tbiugs the Conven tion need uot touch. Besides, we must get in The Union first-—that ^s to say, before we begiu to set up bouse we must get the right to do so; and if our delegates in Convention get to squabbling overmatters of State policy, as some would bave them do, the authorities at Washington will not permit them to go ahead with the work of recon struction. Georgia need do no more, for the present, than Mississippi did. When Georgia is restored to her rights as a sovereign btste of the 1-niou, then she can begin the work of perfecting her Constitution in ail matters of State interest and State policy. The IVnxhita Gazette. ^ We received the first number of this staunch old democratic paper, since the War began, cn en8uec |, l as :iug nearly half au hour We get the following account from a source deemed entirely reliable: Ou Sunday, August 27th, two citizens of Pick ens County, named Gravelly and Nally. weut to a church during the hour of preaching, and called for two men who were in the church against whom they had an old grudge. The men refusing to come out, Gravelly mid Nally wont in, drew their pisto's and commenced shooting—shot several times—killed one of the men and mortally wound ed the other, who has since died, and wounded a lad\, before the desperadoes could be forced to desist Ou the Wednesday following, Lieut. Harper, of Company C, 29th Indiana Regiment, with three men and three citizens of Cartersvillo. viz: Thom as Haueock, Bell Collins and Ben. Smith, went to Pickens county for the purpose of arresting Gta- velly and Nally. They found Gravelly and his three sons, also Nally, all in Naily’s house, thor oughly armed and prepared to resist an arrest. Messrs. Smith and Collins, as they were citizens, •went to entreat them to surrender. As they ap proached the door they were both shot and killed. It was about 8 o'clock at night. A general fight Two of the send is of the same character that 1 collected from the tax pavers of this county and that 1 have no. exchang ed with any one State Treasury Notes for Confederate Treasury Notes, except for the purpose ot making tl.e usual change with the tax payers in the payment ot their taxes. . - Sworn to and scbscribed before me this (lay o. The \awaof this State did not and do not authorize a Tax Collector tn swap off State Notes for Confeder- ntc Treasury Notes or other notes, and as intimations have been thrown out that some Tax Collectors may have done this, it is deemed necessary and proper tor von to clear yourself from this supposition by making this affidavit, and sending it along with the money } ou send to the State Treasurer. As it may be rather expensive for you to come to Milledgeville at this time, to bring this money and affidavit, I would suggest that if a convenient oppor tunity for sending it does not present itself before your Delegates come to the Convention you will be W AA to send tire same in October by one of the members ot the Convention from yonr county. Very Respectfully. Ac., PETERSON TIIWEATT, Comptroller General. Tlie JRourboiiM. From the advertisements in the daily papers of our cities, and the evidences we have around us every day, we should conclude that there is spirit enough yet in the Bourbon'family, to raise a revolution qu'te suf ficient to shake the Throne where Genius holds her court. Iton’l be in n Hurry. Some men seem to think that because the Pres ident has appointed Provisional Governors for the Southern States, and authorized those Gov ernors to call a Conventi^p of the people *of the State, that they are authorized to go on and make a Constitution which shall remedy all the evils of our old Constitution. They are simply mistaken. This Convention which is soon to assemble in Georgia, was called to pat Georgia in a position where she may be recognised as a Sovereign State of the Union. Its duties are to rescind the ordi nance of secession, change the Constitution of the State wheresoever it con.diets with the laws and Constitution of the United States; provide for the election of Governor, members of Congress, members of the Legislature and other State offi cers, rtj-district the State, adjourn and go home. New Store.—Messrs. Joseph & Fass have opened a new Store at the old Drug Store, under the Milledgeville Hotel. They have a new and I fine stock of Gentlemen's Furnishing Goods and j ready made clothing. Also Ladies shoes of "the j latest and finest, patterns. All of which they say j they will sell at prices to suit the times. Call ! and see for yourselves. Wednesday last. It is one of the very few papers in New England that stands by the land marks of the Constitution, and understands the difference between a white man and a negro. We hope its weekly visits to us may be regular. The follow ing article taken from its editorial columns, ex plains its position on the Negro Suffrage ques tion : “So far as negro suffrage is concerned, we think the true course to pursue is that of non-interven tion. Let the general government leave the whole subjectwith the respective States There is no constitutional right for our government to interfere. It is entirely and purely a question for each State to adjudicate for itself. We fear, how ever,that this apprehension as to the continued ex istence of the negro race at the South is well fonnded. Its utter extermination, sooner or later, is to be apprehended, and if such exterminating shall occur, future historians will record that its extinction followed legitimately from the section al interference of Northern republican-abolition partisans. Had no interference from the North been the rule, the negro race would now be happy, contented and thriving. The remedy proposed by Gen. Cox, however, that is, the expatriation of the negro race to another Liberia, is inhuman and impracticable. The true preventive, in our opin ion, is still within reach. It is this. Stop where we now are. Let the negro alone. Let us mind our own business, and all may yet be well, or as well as circumstances will admit. AU attempts to produce equality betSveen the white and negro races are chimerical and futile. The two races cannot be reduced to terms of equality without the extermination of the inferior race. Let both races alrpe and let them manage their domestic and political relations to suit themselves and the issue will be beneficial to all concerned Take the opposite course and dire calamities will follow inevitably.” desperadoes b-dng then dead, and a third one mortally wounded, the other two rushed out of the house, and attempted to escape by running, one was killed and the other saying he would sur render attempted to shoot one of the soldiers and was dispatched with the bayonet. Two women who remained in the lion^e all the while, escaped unhurt.— Rome Courier, 7III. ES^CoI. B.

Brown Pardoned. The Telegraph announced, a few days ago, that Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, had been pardoned by the President. This will be most welcome intelligence to a large majority of the people of Georgia. Gov.

But if we, or our Convention, shall say j among the foremost in shaping our new destiny or do any foolish tiling of which our enemies can i seats in Congress, we have no power to give di rect assistance to either parly : but w o can g great assistance to either party indirectly. If we take advantage, then we’ shall Lelp our enemies and injure our friends at the North. Uudor these circumstances it will be best for us, for the Pres ident and for our friends at the North to# our Con vention to do no more than what is absolutely as a commonwealth. That he has the confidence of the President, his pardon, at this early day, abundantly proves. Com pci it ion — I! uni or nn Her i ml. If the daily papers of the cities in Georgia are maps of busy life,” as the Poet says, and furnish necessary to take tho State Lick into the Union ; a true index, of the business transacted therein, and make provision for the e.eetiou of our State , then it may be safely concluded that there never officers and members of Congress, and leave eve- erything else for future legislation. Let ns get back into the Union first, and then we can legis late afterwards. „ was a time, in the history of the State, when bus iness prospects were brighter or more hopeful.— We notice with pleasure that the daily papers of Atlanta, Augusta, Macon and Columbus are so pressed with advertising favors, that they find it I very difficult to give then readers one column of reading matter to four columns of advertisements! llo i“cially are our contemporaries of the Augusta, Atlanta and lWacon p—Lisrfcly favored in pa- . , . . . , „ j tronage.

T rue, they have Immense Patronage.—Some idea may be formed of the immense patronage of the office of Collector of Customs for the port uf v, lr k (to which Mr. Preston King of N. Y. has just been appointed,) from the fact that ho has the ! dollars to (our hundred dollars. not so largo a circulation in the cities as tlie daily Greene Countv.-Wo learn that the foi]ow . fibers have, but they go to the firesides of tl.ous- ing excellent nominations for the Convention, I ands of P 1anters aml farmers who 8CArCeIy ever have been made in Greene county: Dr. N.

An derson, Hon. Solomon Cohen, Hon. Thos. E. Lloyd. We regret to learn that Mr. Indersor. Las not yet been pardoned see a daily paper. The papers at this piace are taken by leading men in all the counties where there are mail facilities, and are looked to with in terest for all matters connected with the public af fairs of the State. While, therefore, we would not detract an iota from the merits of our city contemporaries, we would suggest to the liberal advertising houses cf Augusta, Atlanta and Ma con, that a few dollars invested with the weekly newspaper^ will insure them a handsome return Richmond County.—The following names are ! for their money. In a few weeks the papers at the suggested by over three hundred citizens of Rich mond county : Hon. C. J Jenkins, Hon. JohnP. King, Hon. A. C. Walker. We hope to see Judge Starnes in the Convention, Mr. King ought to be sent to the State Senate. His great abilities would be of immense benefit to the State in shaping her finances. Business in Milledgeville seems to be looking up. Vacant stores are now few and far between. The shelves of our merchants are fill ing up, and as scon as they receive all their goods on the way, we shall have a foretaste of the good old times. Money is yet quite scares')n the city, and, fora while, merchants must be content with few gales and small profits. After a few weeks expire, money will bo more abundant, and trade more lively. Postage Stamps —What is Ihe reason the Post Master General does not supply the cities and towns of tho South, where the mails are re ceived , with U. S. postage stamps? There have been none sent here, and the inconvenience re suiting, is greater than any other we have to bear. We do hope tho Depaitment will come to the re lief of the suffering people, in this respect, and supply them with facilities for carrying on busi- ness and friendly correspondence. Will not some of the United States Military officers in onr midst make an effort to get a supply 0 f postage stamps seot to this city? v Seat of Government will be doubly interesting to the general reader, arid we invite the attention of business men to our columns. Erunre of AVoIvch in Mltcrp'a Clothing! We have a deadly enemy in our midst—mot soldiers of the United Statis who are placed here to protect onr properly and oUY rights—but em issaries of tho negro-suffrage, negro-equality, miscegenation party of tho North. They hate President Johnson’s reconstruction policy worse than they hate “rebels” or “traitors.” They are paid to conio here and misrepresent the true state of affairs at tlie South. The life of their part}-, and the political salvation of their leaders are at stake. If they fail in their mission, their occupa tion is gone, and their party is dead. These emis saries itf the radical party of the North are to be found in every village, town and city of the South. They exaggerate real occurrences, and manufacture lies out of the whole cloth, in hopes of inducing the masses at the North to oppose the liberal policy of President Johnson. They do much harm to the South, but they can be success fully foiled. How ? Let every- Southern State follow the lead of Mississippi—go back to the Union by the shortest and most direct route. If they do this, the Northern masses cannot be de ceived, and they will rally around the President, and give the death blow to radicalism and Jaco binism. OP Ex-Gov. Brown reached his home in this city on Wednesday last. The Macon Telegraph, of Tuesday last, thus refers to him: Ex-Gov. Brown.—This gentleman reached this city yesterday afternoon, 'direct from Wash ington. In a personal interview he expressed himself highly pleased with the feeling manifes ted toward ti e States of # the South, by the author ities at Washington, and the utmost confidence that prudent action on the part of the people of those States would speedily restore them to the enjoyment of equal rights, as members of the Union. As we announced a day or two ago, Gov. B. has been pardoned. He will leave for his home at Milledgeville this morning. Augusta Savings Bank —We call attention totheCardofMr.H.H. Hickman, President ot the Augusta Savings Bank. The institution now paying fifteen cents, in currency, on the dollar of its issue. This is more than the bills have been worth for Ivvo years past. Meeting in Wilkes.—We invite the attention of the reader to the sound and sensible action of the people of Wilkes, in a public meeting held to nominate candidates (or the State Convention All just and honorable men will second their views. Re\ . Dr. Talmage.—We understand that a Committee has been appointed by the Board of Trustees of Oglethorpe University to select some one of Georgia's distinguished sons to write a proper tribute of respect to the memory of the late President of Oglethorpe University. The writer has, we believe, already been selected. Editors of the Federal Union : Suffer me to present my thanks to “An Old Citizen”, who, through your columns, has sug gested my name as a proper person to represent Baldwin county in the approaching Convention, called to amemitlie State Constitution. I am no candidate. I cannot allow my. name to be used for such a purpose upon the suggestion of a few partial friends. I am so deeply impressed by the magnitude of tho very many questions which will most probably arise—be discussed and deci ded by that body—and that rr.y own qualifications for such service are so far below that measure of knowledge of constitutional and municipal law and comprehensive statesmanship demanded by th3 occasion, that I instinctively-shrink from even desiring the position of a delegate. It would be an honor if conferred, without candidacy and can vassiDg, by an intelligent people who duly appre- "tofed how much they had at stake. Had I been invited by a genvmi meeting to represent the county—and such nomination repressea tw selfishness of individual ambition—it would have been my duty to occupy the post assigned me; but as no such call has been made on me, I take this method of saying I cannot consent to enter into a cootest for an office which I feel that /could not as pireto without arrogance*{.certainly mean to avoid such an imputation. It will hereafter, be far more gratifying to me, should the question be askpd, why I had not been elected to tho Conven tion, than why I had been ? Iverson L. Harris. Milledgeville, 14th Sept., 1865. ———— ■ For the Federal Union. Messrs. Editors :—I have been pleased to no tice the names of Col. B. B. deGraffenreid and Judge I. L. Harris suggested as candidates for the approaching Convention. For sound judgment, honesty of purpose and deliberative ability, the county of Baldwin will be creditably represented, if these gentlemen are elected. I most cheerfully endorse them, and, together'with all the citizons of the county, with whom I have conversed, will give them a generous support. Enough said. VOX POPULI. — mm ♦ Muster Out Negro Troops.—Washing- ingtoD, Sept. 12.—The Secretary issued instructions to the comihanding generals of the departments of North Carolina. Virginia, Florida, Texps, Louisiana and Arkansas, directing them to immediately muster out of service all organizations of colored troops which were enlisted in the Northern States, and are now serving in their respective commands. The musters- out to be the entire organizations, inclu ding all additions thereto by recruits anS other sources. Another order directs the mustering out of 3,000 additional white troops in the Department of Arkansas.— Major-General Augur has also been order ed to reduce the volunteer force in .his command to 6,000 commissioned officers and enlisted men .of all arms. Don’t Go.—Some of the modest spirits of the South—the men who gave tone, vigor and charac ter to her society—the soul of her best and great est enterprises—nay, the very prompters of her public thought, are, we understand, prep^lng to leave the country, and go into voluntary exile, l’his is one of the saddest results now following in the train of the just completed revolution. In a recent editorial we adverted to the urgent duty to be henceforth performed by every South ern man in choosing and supporting as his repre sentatives in the councils of State and nation, only those men who Lava been most closely iden tified with the wellare of his people. But if there is a theme in all the catalogue of editorial discus sion upon which we would speak and pray un ceasingly, t^iat subject is the one embraced in the opening paragraph of this article. There is something terribly touching in the thought that a proud iover of his country should have become so depressed by his disappointment. * so utterly cast down by h;s misfortunes, that rath- ! er than remain and •aie fate to do her worst; | rather than stay among the green fields and shady | groves of his home where he played as a boy and < labored as a man, and where love has hallowed j every association of his life; rather than still lin- j ger and by strong endeavor strive to recreate the J exhausted energies of his people, he should, in an i “ hour of jeckless impulse, expatriate himself from j his mother land, and prepare to live thereafter a j life without ail object—a ‘oian without a country.’ ! Such au one is little better than a .deserter from his cause. For if there ever was a tims when a ! Southern man ought to be at home, at. work, i watching the interests of his people, contributing to the pulsations of the great popular heart, earn- j est, ardent, confident, tiueand firm, that time is now. One ballot now is worth a score of bullets a ; little while ago. Out; strong word that carries with it a flow of influence now, is worth the charge of | a brigade. Moral power is iu demand. Thoughts are weapons. Time holds the scale of victory ; and if the people of the South will but remain true to themselves, stay at home, fight what re mains of this contest at the ballot box, co-operate as conservatives with the conservatives ot the North, staud shoulder to shoulder, unit-like, brave, unabashed, and persistent in the assertion of right —right not because it is right, but as a matter of expediency—wo pledge the honor of the nation that less than four years will witness a change iu the political elements of the laud even more start COME AND SEE!!!

Y. Neics. Contemptible.—'Tho Chicago Republican, over which one Dana presides, and which is Sec retary Stanton’s organ, is not pleased with the pro ceedings of the Mississippi Convention. The Re publican says*: “We confess that the convention has never in spired us with confidence. A body whose mem bers are elected with an understanding that they will do everything that is required in order to get control of the>tate, so that they may afterward conduct themselves as they please, and as far as possible reverse all their compulsory loyal acts, does not promise to be a very useful organization. We may be sure that Congress will look veiy sharply into all these things.” Now, when it is remembered that President Johnson wrote a letter of congratulation and ap proval to this Convention, and tlmt its proceedings have been endorsed by every sensible paper in the country, and a “well done good and f.ithful servants” has greeted the members of that Con vention from ali quarters; we ask if the above quotation m^le from that paper is not a most un fair, unkind and ungenerous expression of opin ion. Ay, more. Is it not most contemptible ? What object can that paper or any other, (pub lished in the Northwest, especially,) have for sus pecting trickery on the part of our State Conven- ventions, and trying to make it appear that our efforts to restore peace and civil law, are only made from sinister motives. What more could the delegates to the Mississippi Convention have done to inspire the Republican and his clique with confidence? Did they not do a H that was requir ed of them—promptly and faithfully? Even that paper can find no fault iu the proceedings of the Convention; yet from pure low down meanness, it endeavors to shake the confidence of the coun try m in* ^.uU'a sincerity to return to the Union, byeexpressing its own jyant w flu cnc e. It do se, ves the rebuke and contempt of the whore nu- »tion.—Eujaula News. W HERE ARE CRUELTIES PRACTICED.—Gen. Swayne, Asst. Conimihsiuner of the Freedman’s affairs fur this State, telegraphs from Montgomery under date of Aug. 28th, that Gen. Howard, Su perintendent of the Freedmen’s Bureau, is calling for an additional military force to put a stop to the cruelties practiced on the negroes in Alabama by the late slaveholders. • Gen. Swayne suggests that 'he 2nd Maine Cavalry be sent to him at once. The cruelties here alluded to is certainly news to us. It is the first intimation we have heard that the negroes are being harshly treated by, for mer owners and we should like very much to know who is maltreating the negroes and where. In this locality, the negro is having a good time generally He is working along pretty much as it suits him, and we have yet to hear of a man in Barbour county who is ill treating the negro, or exacting an undue amount of labor from him. We know of many planters, ou the contrary, upon whom the negroes are a dead weight and loss, but are permitted to remain in their old homes, and are taken care of by their late masters, simply from feelings of kindness and affection.
