Mat 7th chap, :20th verse.
When preachers undertake to tell,
And preach distinguished men to hell,
We very much dispute
Their carrying out the text, which sLows
Let the seed thy servant sows
Produce abundant fruit.

War in the Freed men's Bureau.—A
A small specimin of brick war can be
found iu the school department of the
Freedmen’s Bureau, which bids fair to be
both tragic and comic.—There beiug a la
dy iu the case, we shall mention no names,
but christen the parties respectively Poa-
nerges and Mademoiselle. Boanerges is
reported to have quarrelled with a lady-
teacher, one Mademoiselle. What was
the casus belli does not appear. We are
in blissflul ignorance whether tinrequiled
love or undue zeal of Sambo was the
moving cause. But the lady alleges that
the gentleman who unites with his offiee
of pedagogue the various vocations that
Sam Weller would affix to the office of
“Depity Shepherd,” told his Sunday
hearers not to send their children to the
lady, because she was “not a Christian.”
Mademoiselle is a Catholic, while he says
his prayers according to another persua
sion. This, of course, was an actual de
claration of hostilities, and made the lady
—who, by the way, has the most pluck—
mad as a hornet with the hydrophobia.
Boanerges went sparking on Sunday night
to the house where she boarded; she found
him in the parlor, singing “Come ye sin
ners, poor and needy.” To order him off
the premises was the first thing, to bang
him over the head with the Bible, and
follow up the assault with a general as
sortment of light reading, was the next.
The devil will flee from holy water,
says the proverb. Our hero could stand
the bomb shells of Zion, but when the
email shot of Ned Buntline hit him be
tween the eyes he fled to the rear, follow
ed by a bottle of sozodont, which, like
Aaron’s ointment, spread its fragrande
around the skirts of his coat-tail, and vic
tory perched on the banner of petticoats.
But there is a serious side to all this. It
is reported that this gentleman, who psalm
sings and prays on a large scale for the
freedmen, has also had an eye on their
pockets. It is said, with what truth we
know not, that at his Sunday morning
exercises, he lias made large collections on
a variety of pretexts; which collections are
supposed to amount to a thousand dollars
in specie. This is a matter for official in
vestigation, and if substantiated, either
the State’s prison or banishment will be
the result For neither public opinion, nor
General Gregory, will permit any man to
committ petty larceny under the cloak of
religion and benevolence. Truly the
ways of those laboring in the interests of
God and humanity are mysterious and
past finding out—Flakes Galveston Bul

I know, my countrymen, it has been insinua
ted, but not directly, the intimation has been giv
ven in high places, that if such a usurpation of
power had been exercised two hundred years ago
in a particular region, it would have cost a cer
tain individual his head. What usurpation'has
Andrew Johnson been guilty of? None, none.—
The only usurpation 1 have been guilty of, was
standing between the people and the encroach
ment of power—and because 1 dared to say in
conversation with a fellow citizen and a Senator,
that I thought amendments to the Constitution
ought not to be too frequently made, that it would
lose all its dignity, and that the old instrument
would be lost sight of iu a short time; because I
happened to say if it was amended, such and such
amendments should be adopted, it was a usurpa
tion of power foat would have cost a King hia head

about beheading and usurpation, but when I am

“this Presidential obstacle must be got out of the
way ” I make use of a very strong expression
when I say that I have no doubt the intention wm
to incite assassination and get out of the way the
obstacle from place and power, whether by assas
sination or not. There are individuals in this
Government, I doubt itot, who want to destroy
oar institutions and change the character of the
Government. Are they not satisfied with the
blood which has been shed 7 Does not the mur
der of Lincoln appease the vengeance and wrath
of the opponents of this Government ? Are they
still unslaked ? Do they still want more blood?
Have they not got honor and courage enough to
obtain their objects otherwise than by the bands of
the assassin 7 No ! I am not afraid of assassins
attacking me when a brave, courageous man
would attack another.
I only dread bim when he would go in disguise,
and his footsteps noiseless If it is blood t) ey
want, let them have courage enoufh to strike
like men. I know tbey are willing to wound, but
they are afraid to .strike. [Applause.] If my
blood is to be shed because I vindicate the Union
and th* preservation of this Government in it*
original purity and chastity, let it be shed. Let an
altar to the Union be erected, and then if it is nec
essary, take me and lay me upon it, and the blood
ihat-tiow warms and animates my existence shaft
be poured out as a fit libation to the union of these
8tat.es. [Great applause. ] -But let the opponents
of this Government remember that when it is found
out, that the blood ot the martyrs will be the seed
of the church. [Cheers. ] Gentlemen this Union
will grow. It will continue to increase in strength
and power, though It may be cemented and clena-
ed with blood. 1 have talked longer now than I
intended. Let me thank you for the . honor > on
have done me. So far as this Government is coo?:
cerned, let me say one other word in reference to
the amendments to the Constitution of the United
States. When I reached Washington forthepor-
pose of being inaugurated as Vice President of the
United States I had a conversation with Mr. Lin
coln. W r e were talking about the condition of af
fairs and in reference to matters in my own State.
I said that we had called a Convention and had
amended our Constitution by abolishing slavery
in that State—a State not embraced in bis procla
mation.
This met his approbation and gave him encour
agement, and in talking upon the amendment to
the Constitution, he said: “When tbs amend
ment to the Constitution is adopted by three-
fourths of the States we shall have all, or pretty
near all, I am in favor of amending the Constitu
tion. I have labored to preserve the onion of these
States intact under the.Constitutson as they were
before.” "But. ’ said I “Mr. President, trhat
amendment do you refer to.” He said he thought
there should be an amendmentadded to the Con
stitution which would compel, all the 8tates to send
Senators and Representatives to the Congress of
the United States. Yes, compel them. The idea
was in his mind that it was a part of the doctrine
of secession to break up the Government by the
States withdrawing their Senators and Represen-
tatives from'C’ongress and therefore, he desired
a constitutional amendment to compel them to be
sent Now, how doe* the matter stand in the
Constitution of the couutry ? Eyen that portton
of it which provides for the amendment of the
organic law, says that no State shall be deprived
of ns Representation in Congress. Now, wbat

While the rebellion was going on the Constitu

eminent, there may have been some excuse "to
justify it, but now that peace is come, war is over,
wswant a written Constitution, and I say the
time bas come to -take the Constitution down,
unroll it, and understand its provisions- I come
here to vindicate tfie Constitution aud to save it,
for it does seem to me that encroachment is pro
posed Island to-day prepared, so far as I can,
to resist these encroachments upon the Constitu

and the popular will, they will find that they
might as wed. have undertaken to introduce a
resolution to repeal the laws of gravity as keep
this Union from being restored. It is jnst about
as possible to resist the great law of gravitation,
which binds ail to a common centre, as that great

1 have detained you longer than I intended.
A Voice—(Go on.)
We are in a great straggle. I am your instru
ment. Who is there that I have not toiled and
labored for ? Where is the man or woman, eith
er in public or private life, who has not always
received my attention or time ? They say that
man Johnson is a lucky man; that no man can de
feat mo. I will tell you what constitutes good
luck, It is to do right, and for the people.
That is what constitutes good luck. Some hour
or other the people will find out and understand
who is for and who is against them. I have been
placed in as many trying positions as any mortal
was ever placed in, and so far I have not destrted
the people, and I believe they will not desert me
What princi le have I violated? What senti
ment have I swerved from ? Can they p U t their
fingei upon it. Have you heard them point out
any discrepancy ? Have you heard them quote
my predecessor who fell a martyr to bis coun
try's cans*as going in opposition or contradiction
to wbat I have done?
The very policy that I am now pursuing was
pursued by roe uoder bis administration. I bar
ing been appointed by him iu a peculiar position
for that purpose. An Inscrutable Providence saw
proper to remove bim from this to, 1 trust, a bet
ter world, aud I came into his place; aud there is
not a principle of his in reference to the restoration
“of the Union from which I have departed. Then
the war is not. simply upon me, but it is upon
my predecessor. I have tiled to do my duty. 1
know that some are enviotisand jealous, and speak
of the White House as having attractions for the
President. Let me say to.you the charms of the
White House have as little influence upon me as
upon any individual in the country, and much less
than those who.are talking about it. The differ
ence between the little that suffices my stomach
and back is more than enough, and-has no charms
for me 7 lie proud and conscious satisfaction ot
having performed my duty to my countryt to my
children, and to the inner man, is all the reward I
a$k. [Great applause ]
Iu conclusion let me ask this vast concourse
here to day, this sea of upturned faces, to come
with, me, or I will go with you and stand around
the Constitution of our country. It is again un
folded. The’people are invited to read and under
stand, sustain and maintain its provisions. Let
us stand by the Constitution of our tore-fathers.
Tttddgh toe heaven8 fall; though factions shoul I
rage; though taunts anu jeers may come; though
abuse aud vituperation may be passed out in the
most virulent form, I mean to be found standing
by'the Constitution, as the chief ark*of our safe
ty; as the palladium of our civil aud our religious
liberty. Let let us cling to it as the mariner
cliqgs to the lA8t plank when'the night and the
tempest close around him. Let us go away, for
getting the past and looking to the future, resol
ved to endeavor to restore our Government to its
pristine purity, trusting in him who is ou high,
but who controls all here below, that ere long our
Union will be restored, and that we shall have
peace,not only with all the nations of the earth,
but peace and good will amoug all parts of the
peeple of the United States. When your country

. MEXICO.
Gam-net- Henry W. Alien on Immigration.
[ Mexican Times Jan. 27. 1886.]
We receive by every steamer from the
United Slates letters asking information
about Mexico. These letters are written
from Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and
Louisiana. Some are from New York,
Maryland, Missouri and Nebraska. For
the benefit of all we take this method of
answering their questions, and shall send
two copies of our paper to each one of our
correspondents interested. •
1. -“"Do you think the Empire’s estab
lished on a firm basis? Is life, liberty
and property secure in Mexico ?”
We thinly the limpire is firmly estab
lished. The Emperor Maximilian governs
to-day more territory than ever did any
President or military chieftain in Mexico.
Within twelve months the Imperial flag
will float quietly over every portion of the
Empire. Fresh foreign troops are daily
arriving, and the native citizens them
selves are forming companies all over the
country and putting down the bands of
robbers who have ever infested Mexico.
We repeat that, within twelve months,
this country will be perfectly quiet. Per
sons aud property are safer in Mexico now
than they-were ever known before.
2. “Can We .get land from the Govern
ment—aqfeif so, on what terms!”
All thelands owned by the Government
and surveyed have been taken. As fast
as these lands are surveyed they are
brought into the market. Surveying is a
tedious and expensive business, aud,
therefore progresses slowly.
In this view, we advise all who wish to
emigrate to Mexico as agricult urists not to
come unless they have some capital. It is
better to emigrate in companies of twenty-
five or thirty, and bay lands in a body of
private individuals. Lands can be had
very cheap—at from ope to two dollars
per acre—according to quality, situation
and improvements. In fact, he who
•cornea here with a small amount of capital
will be suited at once, without any trou
ble. But to those uhfortunates who are
without means, we advise them to stay at
home until tbey can make enough to give
a small beginning.
If you a f p a civil engineer or surveyor—
if you desire to labor with your own bands
on farms and railroads, then cotne—you
will all findample employment.-
This is no place for doctors, and law
yers, and clergymen. These vocations
are filled to oveiflowing.
In the way of merchandise—business
here is also overdone, and we advise no
adventures of this kind.
TJ, however, you have steam-engines or
atb»* Ubw,wring that eaq be
put luto practical use, coma with tbem«
they will all find a ready sale here.
Fine carriages, buggies, horses, and es
pecially large, well matched mules, in
good condition, are in great demand and
bring very high prices.
3. “How is society in Mexico.?”
Well, this is rather a vague question,
but we^will try and answer it. Mexico is
Catholic in religion; and the .people are
principally composed of those who speak
the Spanish language. There are, how
ever, many English. French, Belgians,
^Germans, and Americans here. You.can
select such society ys you please. You
can go to mass on Sunday inernipg and to
the bull fight in the evening, and to the
opera at night. Or you can go and hear
a very good Protestant sermon in French,
and afterwards take a ride on the Pasco.
Tbe emigrants make society for them
selves and we believe all are doing very
well.
4. “In wbat part of Mexico would you
advise us to settle ?”
The neighborhood of Cordova, Jalapa
and Orizaba, we think the best portions of
Mexico. All these are near the railroad,
and will place you as near New Orleans
as you would be iu Tennessee or Missouri.
The village of Carlota, near Cordova,
settled by Americans, bids fair to do well.
Tbe climate is healthy and delightful.
The soil is rich and well watered, and pro
duces everything that you may desire to
cultivate. In fact, nearly ever/ part of
this vast Empire possesses many advanta
ges.
Yucatan is rapidly filling up with emi
grants.
In Sinola, near Mazatlan, there are ma
ny Americans raising cotton.
On the Rio Verdi River, at Parras, and
at Guadalajara are many others, all enga
ged in raising cotton, which tbey find very
profitable.
Near Orizava and Cordova, sugar, cofi
fee and tobacco are the principal produc
tions.
In Yucatan, Tabasco, Soconusco, and
the southern departments, cacoa (choco
late) sugar, and coffee are the principal
articles cultivated.
In Oaxaca, coachineal; in Campeche,
the dyewoods.
In Lower California are the pearl fish
eries, and GuanajuatOf Zacatecas, Guada
lajara, San Luis. Potosi, Tamaulipas, and
Tampico, are all rich in silver and gold
mines. They also are all fine agricultural
and grazing departments.
The frontier is exclusively a grazing
country.
Sonora, Sinaloa, Guerrero, and Michoa
can are the richest in the precious metals
The national drink, pulque, is raised all
over the Empire
We have thus given a pretty general
account of Mexico. The Empire is open
to emigration from all parts cf the yorld
The imperial Government has, by tbe
most liberal decrees, invited all to come.
To sum up our advices we say : This
is the finest country on the face of God’s
earth, and presents the best openings for
comfortable homes and large fortunes for
those who hav e a small capital ou vyhich
to begin, bnt to those who are without
means, we say, iu all candor, stay where
you are.
5. “How shall we go ? What rout© shall
we take ?”
We advise you to go to New Orleans
and take a- sail vessel direct to Vera Cruz,
or take a steamer for* Havana and thence
to Mexico. It is only six days passage.
We believe we can safely say that all
the emigrants in Mexieo'from the United
States are doing well. They have to work
hard and submit to many privations, but
this is the case in all hew countries.—
Learn to labor and to wait. Put yonr
trust in Providence, and all will be well
in the end, No mdn in seeking a new
home can expect all the comforts of tbe
old, but his energy and industry will, in
few short years, insure him a rich reward,
giving him all that heart could desire.

make the following report:
We have examined, through our Committees,
into the condition of tbe public roads, records,

We find the records of tbe Clerk of the Superi
or and Inferior Courts neatly kept, and we tender
him onr high appreciation of bis neatness and
accuracy.
We find the books of the County Treasurer
neatly and correctly kept. All disbursements
sustained by proper vouchers. We find a bal
ance on hand of $408 95, four hundred and eight
dollars and ninety-five cents.
We find the Jail neatly kept, but requiring
some slight repairs on tbe roof of the building.
The fence being in very bad condition—should
be repaired at once.
We find the pnblic roads in a very bad condi
tion with but few exceptions—partly from tbe
neglect on the part of the Road Commissioners t<r
appoint overseers and partly from She neglect of
overseers working the roads where appointed.—
We recommend the enforcement of the laws in
r gard to read duty. •* *
\Ve urge attention of the Inferior Court to the
necessity of the re building of tbe bridge across
the Oconee River at this place.
We would urge that some provision be made
during high water to ferry over persons at fair
rates and that said ferriage go into the County
Treasury instead of the pockets of private par
ties.
We commend the Attorney. General, William
A. Lofton, Esqr., for his prompt and efficient dis
charge of his duties and tender him our thanks
for his courtesy to this body.
Iu parting with his Honor Judge Harris we do
so with feelings of high appreciation of tbe ability
and fearlessness with which he bas always dis

that reward for his labors which bat been recently
bestowed upon him by an appreciative Legisla

to all social or commercial mterconrse between
two great sections of our country, having at length
happily cleared away all obstacles to » renewal
of those relations which formerly bound us to
gether in a fraternal union, I take the earliest
opportunity afforded me by thie auspicious event,
to greet my Southern friends, snd to solicit from
them a renewal of that extensive' business connec
tion which for a quarter of a centnry baa* been
uninterrupted save by the greet public calamity
to which 1 have adverted. ■
It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of s bu
siness re-union, I should repeat the warning so
often given to my friends,—to beware of all those
spurious and deleterious compounds which, un
der the specious and false titles of imported Wines,
Brandies. Holland Gin, Liquors; &e , have been
equally destructive to the health of onr citizens as
prejudicial to the interest* of the legitimate impor
ter.
Many years of my past life have been expended
in an open and candid attempt to expose these
wholesale frauds; no time nor expense bss been
spared to accomplish this salutary purpose, aud
to placejbefere my friends and the pnblic general
ly at the lowest market price, and in ePch quanti
ties as might suit their convenience, a truly gen
uine imported article.
Twenty-five years’ business transactions with
the largest and most respectable exporting houses
in France and Great Britain have afforded me an-
surpassed facilities for supplying our heme mar
ket with Wines Liquors and Liqmure* of tbe best
snd most approved brands in Europe, in addition
to my own distillery in Holland for the manufac
ture of the “Schiedam Schnapps ”
The latter, so long tested and approved by the
medical Faculties of the United States, West In
dies and South America as an invaluable therape
utic, a wholesome, pleasant and perfectly safe
beverage in all climates and during all seasons.
? [uickly excited the cupidity of the home manu-
acturers and venders of a spurious article under
the same name.
I trust that I have, after much toil and expense
snrrotinded all my importations with safeguards
and directions which with ordinary circumspec
tion will insure their delivery, as I receive them
from Europe, to all my customers.
I jrould. however, recommend in all cases where
it is possible, that orders be sent directly to my
depot, 22 Beaver Street, New York, or that par
eh uses be made of my accredited agents.
In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies,
Ac., I have a considerable supply of old tried for
eign wines, embracing vintages of many years
past bottled up before tbe commencement of the
war, which I can especially recommend to all con-
noisures of these fare luxuries.
In conclusion, I would specially call the early
attention of my Southern customers to the advan
tage to be derived by transmitting their orders
without loss of time, or calling personally at the
depot, in order to insure tbe fulfillment of their
orders out of the present large and well selected
assortment. UDOLPHO WOLFE,

At tbe residence of his fat lief in Midway oil the morn
ing of 2nd in.-t.. Henkt Clat Ramsay, aged 22years.
He was a youth of noble promise, warm harted and
generous, a devoted son, an affectionate brother and a
faithful friend. Truly it may be said of him “none knew
him but to love him, noue named him but to praise.”—
But it has pleased God in his inscrutable wisrhrm to
take him suddenly away in tbe spring time of (jfe apd
at the commencement of bis usefulness. A mysterious
Providence shielded him from danger and -death thro
an arduous service iu the late struggle of his country in
which he was much exposed"for foUr years—and now
has cut him down in the midst of. bis family and
frit n Is, leaving them to mourn his untimely death.
