Euttern and Northeastern Georgia.
After a very pleasant visit of a week’s
duration to the sections above named, the
editor of this paper finds himself at his
post again, much cheered and refreshed by
his short holiday.
Not much time, of course, could be
spared to a very thorough inquiry into the
political and industrial prospects of the
region in which lie sojourned, but enough
was disclosed to show that the great heart
of the true People of that portion of Geor
gia still beats strong and hopeful, and that
it has not been dismayed nor discouraged
by the recent successful raid of the Radi
cal plunderers upon the offices of the State.
Our cotemporaries at Augusta and Athens
are girding up their loins for the next fight,
and will surely redeem and retrieve the
blunders and disasters of the past. They
-irtuve learned that next to a sound creed,
and a strong faith in its teachings, is per
fect organization. The ides of November
will tell a different story from the throt
tled utterance of April. We rest satisfied
that all will be done hereafter to deserve,
at least, a well and worthily-earned vic
tory. The forty-five hundred Democrats
who criminally absented themselves from
the polls in the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict, will atone, when the opportunity
offers, for their unseemly and falal apathy.
They will rally with all their old spirit
and accord, when the grand campaign that
shall settle the destiny of republican lib
erty in America, culminates. We can con
ceive of no shame more bitter or more
humiliating, or no disaster more likely to
wreck the future of our honored old Com
monwealth than the election of Bullock ;
hut if that event should crystallize into
one compact, glowing mass all the friends
of the Constitution and a true Union in
Georgia, it may yet prove a blessing in dis
guise. We have an abiding faith that that
result will nowhere he more surely wit
nessed than in these sections.
Crop prospects are, in the main, promis
ing. Corn cotton and wheat look well—
the latter especially promising a most gen
erous harvest. The fruit trees are loaded,
and the heats of summer are cooled and
gladdened in advance with the rich prom
ise of a luscious yield. If it were not for
the certain demoralization and disorgani
zation of labor consequent upon the politi
cal struggle so rapidly approaching, the
outlook for our friends along the line of
the Georgia Railroad and above Athens,
would he comparatively bright. We trust
that the close of the year will find them
triumphant over all difficulties, political
and agricultural, and well advanced upon
the road to that peace, prosperity and com
manding influence that they have, in the
past, so abundantly enjoyed. Go where
we may, our hearts will always thrill with
love, and pride, and gladness at good
tidings from a portion of Georgia around
which cluster so many golden memories
of youth and mauuf»i!
nr uiiMi I'ln i r.
The reported election of liullock is rap
idly hearing its poisonous fruit. We shall
see, as the days go by, and even before he
is installed in the Executive Chair, more
and more evidence of its falal effect upon
the material interests of Georgia. The
people of the State will soon lose, if they
have not already 10-t, the invaluable ser
vices of Major Campbell Wallace, Super
intendent of the State Road. We have in
formation from Atlanta that makes it al
most ceriain that he lias, or soon will re
sign his position on that road, to take the
Presidency of the Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad, Col. Bam. Tate, the present
incumbent, going to fill a similar position
on the Mississippi Central.
This is one of the first fruits of that re
sult which, according to Radical stump
orators and Radical newspapers, was to in
augurate an era of peace and prosperity
unequalled in history. The Btate is to
lose the services of one of her ablest offi
cials from a position where he has shown
a talent and capacity that have added as
much to the wealth and prosperity of the
State, as they have made his name synony
mous with everything that goes to make
up a model railroad manager.
We hope, though, Gen. Meade will not
take Hulbert from bis labor of love of so
manipulating election returns as to defeat
the wishes of the people, to till this va
cancy. He has richly earned it, according
to the Radical theory, but then to swindle
and betray the honest voters of a whole
State is not a luxury to he lightly given
up. The Adams Express Company how
ever, the future owners of this road, will,
we doubt not, provide a loo,urn tenons un
til Hulbert is through with his “sharp
and quick” job.
NEWSPAPER CH ANGE.
We find, upon returning liome, sev
eral changes in the office of our eoteui
porary of the Telegraph.
Messrs. Boykin anti Neville dissolve
both their proprietary ami editorial con
nection with it, and Mr. Hneed retires from
his position as editor in chief. It is now
edited and published by Messrs, Clisby it
Reid.
We are sincerely grieved to lose so faith
ful, able, and earnest a coadjutor in the
journalistic ranks as Mr. Hnectl. lie has
been instant in season and out of season
since his connection with the l'elcgraph,
in llie great work of organizing and hold
ing together in a compact mass tlie public
sentiment in this section in opposition to
tlie heresies of Radicalism, whether taught
at Washington or Atlanta, and in every
conjuncture has been true to liis trust as a
Georgian and the conductor of a fearless
and high toned journal, lie has our best
wishes for a happy and prosperous future,
wherever lie may go. To the other gentle
men who retire, we also oiler our sincerest
aspirations for their future welfare and
success.
To the new partner we extend a cordial
greeting, lie has,-in the past, achieved
hot h fame and fortune as a successful jour
nalist, and we trust that his retirement for
more than a year past from the profession
has not dulled his professional weapons.
We hope still more earnestly, that he has
entirely gotten rid of the poison of Joe
Brownism, which at one time so seriously
endangered his politico health.
Editor Journal and Mcsnengcr :
Hih:—l see that you have classed Mr.
I). K. Hunter, late a candidate for the
Legislature from Wilcox county, as a Rad
ical. It is a mistake. Mr. Hunter, though
running in opposition to, and defeated by
Mr. Johnson, the regular Democratic can
didate, was and is a Conservative, and op
posed to Radicalism in all its forms. I
think this much, in simple justice, is due
to Mr. Hunter. E. J. H. Dunn.

S NIVKBSITY OF GEOIUIIA.
It gives us great pleasure to learn from
the last annual catalogue of this institu
tion, a copy of which we have received,
that it is in so flourishing a condition.
Three hundred and forty-seven students, in
all its various departments, is the answer
that the people of Georgia have given to
John Pope’s brutal assault upon its liber
ties, and we call especial attention to that
fact. The graduating class this year will
number thirty-five—the largest that we
remember in ten years. Attention is di
rected to a notice, more at length, to he
found in our local column, of various fea
tures set forth in this catalogue, and which
are of much public iuterest. We are as
sured, now, that a golden future opens up
for our State University. Let the people,
whose child it is, with renewed zeal ad
dress themselves to the work of making it
the honor and pride, not only of Georgia,
but of the South.

The “Sharpest and tlutckest” Vel.
We heard, yesterday, of a decision by
which the Democratic Senator elect from
tiie Thirtieth District, composed of the
counties of Madison, Oglethorpe and El
bert, was ousted and his place given to his
scalawag opponent, one Jim McWhorter.
For the benefit of gentlemen engaged in
similar business elsewhere, hut who have
not been favored, like Hulbert, with such
special Aptness for manipulating election
returns to suit the wishes of their em
ployers, we give the modus operandi:
Mattox, Democrat, from the District
aforesaid, was elected by a small majority,
twenty, perhaps, and so the returns sent
to Hulbert showed. His opponent failing
in all other measures to defeat the wishes
of the people, and get the seat, got a lot of
negroes to make an affidavit that they
hud voted for Gordon, while intending to
Sjpte for Bullock. This document was
laid before Hulbert, and upon its authority
he throws out Mattox’s majority, and de
clares McWhorter elected ! Comment up
on this chef eVanivrc of Radical rascality
would be like gilding refined gold, or
painting the iilly, and we, therefore, make
none.

The Philadelphia Sunday Mcreiiry is

A Southern ilenogade.

For Blodgett hud a character

Ami therefore had the right to say

And though he had a Rebel been,
It only was in joUe,
For now he was a Ittac'kwashed Saint,

The Radical conspirators at Washington
did not dare to risk a verdict yesterday,
and have adjourned the court of impeach
ment till Saturday. -The chill waters of
the Rubicon that frowned in their faces
struck terror to their guilty souls, and they
pause before taking the plunge. The fact
is significant, and inspires hopes of the
final decision. Os course no considera
tions of what is demanded by the best in
terests of the country are at the bottom of
this delay. It is purely a question of par
ty, and the strength of the influences
wielded by the party lash. It is a good
omen, though, that even a respite of four
days can he wrung from the fears of such
a body. Why cannot President Johnson,
if he thinks his place worth the struggle,
add to this temporary panic by appliances
not yet beyond his reach? If the iin
poachers bully, why may he not bribe?
Radicalism must indeed he beyond the
reach of ordinary influences and revelling
in the luxury of a depraved appetite, if it
reject such food as that.

The Negroes, at the Northern
Methodist Con ff. rent min Chicago.—A
certain brother Hatfield, with a spirit
worthy of an ancient martyr, rose and
said “the colored brethren would be very
welcome to the hospitality of his bed and
hoard during the session of the Confer
enee.” This heroic act of self-abnegation
was greeted with immense applause, and
the perplexing affair seemed finally to
have settled itself very pleasantly. But
brother Hatfield is a married man, and
there are such things as “curtain lectures.”
Now, mark the sequel. “On the following
morning,” says the Chicago Times,
“brother Hatfield put in an early appear
ance. His countenance wore a look of
discomposure, pud he looked very much
like a man who had not slept well. Get
ting the floor, lie proceeded to state that,
upon reflection, lie had decided that it
would not be convenient for him to enter
tain the colored brothers, and, therefore,
he begged permission to withdraw his
proffer of the day before. ft was a pain
ful matter, he said, to dwell upon ; hut
the fact was, that it wasn’t exactly conve
nient. At last accounts, the two colored
brothers had been assigned to a cheap ne
gro boarding house on Fourth avenue, and
peace, like a dove, had lighted upon the
walls of Methodist block.” — JiaUimore

his great bushy gray heard on his arm,
which rested on the railing in front. He
isa strange looking person. His head is
shaped liked a minriie ball, with the point
rounded .diftvn a little, or like the half of a

almost sharp at the top, and bald, increas

that tariff argument himself ever since he

an old protectionist in his day, and had
tried to persuade the people that if the rich
were protected the rich would protect the
poor, and that if the lich manufacturers
were protected, communities of poor men
would grow up around the manufactories,
which would receive the drizzle of protec

THTHShAV, MAY 14. I*6B.
MORAL* Ol Tint DAILY FIUAS.
The Daily Press is a power in the land.
It may do great good ; it may do as great
harm. The daily newspaper is supposed
to have some political principles; it is
questioned by some whether it is entitled
to claim any moral principles. The ques
tion deserves to be looked into.
Should the newspaper receive every
thing that offers itself for insertion, under
the form of advertisements, &c., because j
it can make money by publishing—or
should it di»criminato lii favor of good j
morals, though it lose money ? In other
words, shall it set money against morals?
This is the questi >u.
We presume that none will doubt, as
has been recently remarked by a content
porary, that there are pursuits and profes
sions “so unequivocally vicious and mis
chievous that a good man will not hesi
tate to refuse them the publicity of adver
tising them” in his paper.
There is, then, a liueof distinction some
where, between what may properly he
advertised, and what is so unequivocally
mischievous, and notoriously, flagrantly,
and purposely vicious that it should he
excluded.
Where does this line lie? Who, especi
ally, shah determine for the “good man,”
what he ought to accept and what to
reject?
The public cannot do it, until after the
publication is made. They choose be
tween the purest and the most latitudina
rian paper, by subscribing for and adver
tising in the one or the other, just as their
moral tastes are suited. But their verdict
cannot come till after the policy of admis
sion or exclusion is adopted.
The advertisers cannot he relied on to
giv6 a wholesome judgment; for they of
course would never allow that what they
propose to advertise is mischievous or flag
rantly or notoriously wicked. Indeed,
many of the most abominably wicked of
them will offer to pay largely to have their
wares set forth as eminently pure, and
proper—and their largess is accepted.
Who, then, shall decide, where the line
of distinction lies? Evidently, there is
none who can do so, except those who
couduct the paper—the proprietors and
editors.
Now, by what standard shall they de
termine this question 7 We hold, that it
must be, by their moral sense and by that
only, as those who must account hereafter
for the right use or perversion of all their
powers and means of influence in the
world. They cannot have respect to what
is popular, or agreeable, or respectable, or,
in a money sense, profitable to them, if
there he damage in it to good morals, and
to the highest interests of society.
This general principle settled, we come
now to settle the specific rule that may,
without violence to this general law, be
adopted, in respect to advertising a com
modity, or a business, which publishers
would not, of their volition, encour
age or engage in, on mpral grounds.
The rule, as we hold it, is, that what is of
fered, by regular licensed merchants and
manufacturers, residents of the commu
nity, doing a legitimate business, may be
accepted. To advertise is to give informa
tion, and simply advertising tHe wares
of a merchant, though they may
possibly minister to evil, no more com
mits publishers to approving their use,
than giving the news that his wares had
been stolen commits the editor to the ap
proval of the theft. The wrong doing of
the press in cases of advertising such as
are now referred to, lies:
1. In inserting in editorial columns,
brilliant notices, calculated to entice men
and women to bestow patronage upon the
advertiser, whose business the publishers
do not approve, per sc.
2. In the effort to create great enthusi
asm in his behalf in the community, so as
to excite for him universal and indiscrim
inate patronage.
3. In abating a tittle of hostility to the
pursuits of the advertiser, for thesakeof liis
patronage; or in withholding disapproba
tion of what is considered of evil tendency
in his business, for his money, if it should
have previously been in the line of policy
or consistent with the principles of the
paper to mete out such disapproval. Good
policy and principles should never be bar
tered for the gold of advertisers.
MACON, GA., TUESr/I“I'MAY 19, 18(18.
Now the principles hero laid dowif
would limit the newspaper Jo simply ocl
vertisiny—without note or comment —even
for those citizens, for whose convenience
and benefit the paper is established, where
their pursuits are of doubtful morality.
Every mint julep or brandy smash sent to
an editor’s office could not give birth to a
local paragraph, intended to make the
reader’s lips water for a draught from the
same spring.
The rule would exclude everything from
abroad, from those who have no claims
on the paper, from strollers of every class,
whose pursuits and avocations are, in the
opinion of the conductors of the journal
—the only proper judges—of bad moral
tendency. They generally come in troupes
—they live by pandering to our lowest in
stincts, a love of amusement, if not worse
—they do no good, hut often great harm
to society—they strip us of our money and
carry from the country what should be
given to clothe the naked and to feed the
hungry poor, and to build up our material
and moral interests; and on economical
principles alone the press should oppose
rather than sustain them. The press has
control of the question as to whether such
characters shall bleed ns and poison our
moral health or not, if it will only unite
iu upholding the best and purest interests
of society. But if, whenever these min
isters of Mouius and money leeches come j
by, they offer pay to have themselves ad- i
vertised and puffed, and the victims ex- ;
cited to mania, and led tip in crowds at ]
sonic stated hour to the offering —nil ele- 1
ment of excitement and of evil opportunity !
that does not belong to legitimate adver
tisement of even doubtful tilings when,
we say, pay is offered for these tilings, this
journal may be counted out of the ring of j
money making newspapers.
We go to the public on these principles. !
We may occasionally make mistakes; hut
to these rules we propose to adhere as j
nearly as prudence and forecast • will per- j
mit. If we fail, we fail in a good cause. |
if we succeed, we succeed because our re- j
fiance is upon the belief Hint within the i
region of our circulation, virtue is stronger I
than vice.
We are .-ati-Ued that futheis who wish
to see the many temptations to vice offered ;
to their sons abated; and moliieis wlioi
wish for their daughters’ salon to uphold
purity and virtue, will sooner or later sus
tain us. Our course, jusi now, may be
unpopular; but we have great confidence
that ouj principles will triumph; and that
the purer the columns of the paper, the
readier access will it find to the family
circle; and, consequently, the more popu
lar will it be as tl.e vehicle for all harm
less and legitimate advertising—and we
can afford to do without whatever i- not of
this character.
We propose no controversy on this sub
ject. We set forth our own principles,
and there the matter rests.
JACOBINISM HI I’EtllVi; ITSELF.
We copy from the ('incinnati Ceunnwr
cial the following description of a scene in
the United States .Senate sitting a- High
Court of Imia-achment, occurring ujsm
the close of Mr. Bingham's vindictive ha
rangue against tire President. Those who 1
will take tire trouble to look up the histo
rian’s account of what daily transpired in
the galleries and lobbies of the French
Convention When the ;t»ob etui j
browbeat tiK»*« member*) who showed flic
least disposition to pause in tbetr mad ca
reer of violence and blood, will k-ive no
difficulty in recognizing the striking simi
larity of the parallel now furnished at
Washington. Jacobinism, whether in
France 01 the United State#, is always the
same. True to its instincts of brutality
and blood-thirstiness, it does not scruple,
to outrage not only the proprieties of
the place and the occasion, but to de
mand, in defiance of all law, ami against
all evidence, the blood of the victim
ai the hands of tiiose who are try
ing him. The unsexed demireps who
joined in tlie song only need the red cap
and the knitting needles to reproduce the
picture of those shameless creatures who
went even ahead of their male companions
in wanton wickedness and tiger like fe
rocity. There are many Madame Du
farges in Washington, and we are only
surprised that they have not showed
themselves before this. They are as much,
too, the legitimate offspring of New Eng
land civilization as were the dames of the
fish market the natural fruit of Parisian
vice and demoralization. The student of
history will contemplate with mingled
shame and indignation such foul blots
upon the picture of the marvelous rise and
progress of this great nation. We put it
on record for the benefit of those who are
i to come after us. It will serve to strength
en and keep alive the tires of hatred to
wards that fell faction which lias made
such tilings not only necessary, but in
evitable :
MSCIBACEFUI. SCENES IN THE SENATE.
The Privileged Visitors, JHaokyuardn, and
ltoivdias.
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Washington, May 0.
Mr. Bingham took his seat. .Senator j
Wilson rose to submit a motion that the
•Senate retire for consultation. He had
scarcely time to address the Chair when, |
to tlie right of the Chair, in the gentle- j
men’s gallery,a few spectators commenced
to stamp their feet and clap their hands j
in approval of Mr. Bingham’s speech. It j
was promptly suppressed by the Chief
Justice, but it very quickly spread through |
tlie entire galleries, increasing in violence
as it went around, until it amounted to a
disorderly uproar. Even the ladies were
quick to catch the contagion, and gave
vent to their enthusiasm as earnestly as
those of the other sex.
The Chief Justice rapped when it was
too late. He might as well have tried to
extinguish a prairie fire with a fringe;
when lie rose from his seat and cried “Or
der!” with all the voice lie could put into
the word, he was only laughed at; and for
very spite hundreds who had remained
silent till then joined m tlie demonstra
tion, and made tlie Senate Chamber a bed
lam. Home stood up while they clapped
their hands, and ottiers kept their seats
that they might be enabled to use both
hands and feet in the uproar.
While the noise was at its loudest, the
Chief Justice, in an angry tone, ordered
the Sergeant-at-arms to clear the galleries,
hut it was manifest that without the con
sent of the offenders, the order could not
be executed. A few cried out: “He can’t
doit; lie hasn’t men enough; we won’t
go out;” and there were indications for a
time that they were determined not to be
put out. The door keepers attempted to
enforce the order by announcing it, but
they found the crowd very slow to move.
The Senators began to get alarmed, for
really the scene began to smack of tlie
French revolution, when the crowd used
to overawe the National Assembly.
Mr. Grimes angrily asked, after survey
ing the scene, why the order was not en
forced forthwith, to which the Chief Jus
tice, who seemed to be getting quite ner
vous, replied that it certainly w uld be
enforced. A volley of’hisses for Grimes
came next, and that, too, from the most
respectable part of the galleries. Many a
finely-dressed lady contributed to them.
An attempt was made to get up a more
violent insult in the way of a loud “bah,”
and some bootings were heard such as the
rabble sometimes deal out to stump-speak
ers they don’t like.
Mr. Trumbull quickly came to the re
lief of Mr. Grimes, with a motion that
tlie offenders be arrested, as well as the
galleries cleared.
" T wolf' i li.ke to see you do it!” shouted
several of (he retiring offenders in reply.
The galleries were by this time about
hall cleared, but not because of tbe order
ol the Chief Justice. It got out that the
court was about to retire, or adjourn, and
those who had left had done so under this
impression. Buddenly a few men cried out:
“ Hold on ! They ain’t going to adjourn !
Let us see this tbiugout!” Then came a
halt, and hundreds took their seats again,
with the utmost unconcern, and totally
indifferent to the order for their ejection.
Mr. Cameron, amid the din and confu
sion, ros- to hope that the galleries would
not be cleared. He did not believe it fair
to punish all for the offense of some, ami
hoped noue but those who had made the
demonstration would he put out.
Messrs. Fessenden and Johnson sharply
called Mr. Cameron to order, and insisted
that the clearance he proceeded with ; at
which there was another volley of hisses
and a few more bootings, and the scene
looked more revolutionary than ever.
Meantime, iu the corridors, a few hun
dreds of the ejected had formed into a
crowd, and commenced singing, “Old
Grimes is dead, that poor old man !”
They were joined by the ladies with
great -lee.
Between the verses the lowa Senator
was liberally and maliciously cursed and
damned as a traitor anil a Copperhead.
One man attempted to make a speech op
posing Grimes and the other renegades,
but the tumult was too great for him, and
all around him were too much interested
in the song, which was thought to be pe
culiarly appropriate and piquant. “Will
the ladies help us to sing?” said one.
“Certainly they will,” said another, and
so they did.
While this extraordinary scene was tak
ing place in the corridors, and within the
heariugof the high court of impeachment.
Senators were wondering what stiff kept
the galleries at least half full. Mr. Sher
man attempted to solve the mystery by
suggesting to the Chief Justice that per
haps those who remained in the galleries
did not understand the nature of t e or
der. The Chief Justice repealed the or
der for their benefit, and again instructed
the Bergeant-at-arms to enforce it. which
he, with the aid of all the Capitol em
ployees he could find proceeded at once to
do.
Progressive.—Our good friends, the
High <'hurcl|Episcopaiiuiis, are certainly
—whatever else may be said of them —pro-
gressive. We do not well see how they
can long postpone the logical conclusion of
their present and plainly indicated future
attitude the Roman Catholic Church.
We have naught to say against that de
nomination of Christians, hut front our
secular arid entirely impartial stand-point,
it appears ‘that these St. Alban’s people
are u.-iug a banner and claiming its pro
tection only to discredit, if not actually
betray jt. The New York eorretqtond
eut of the Charleston Courier, in a late
letter, says:
A remarkable exhibition is to lake place
on Ascension Sunday, in St. Alban’s
fHigh Church? Episcopal Chapel in this
city. A large and costly painting of the
blessed Virgin, which lias been suspended
over llte altar, is to be unveiled, and a
series of inqmsing ceremonies. High
Mass is to be sung on the occasion, and
the services will include devotions to the
Mother of the Redeemer.
A Famous Man Gone.— Henry, Lord
Brougham and Yaux in the English j>eer

her most distinguished statesmen, died
on the Oth inst., at Cannes, France, in the
ninetieth year of bis age.

reputation it tiipt possessed. He wrote
the causticcritlcWSSTUpoll Byron’s “Hours

and which it may be safely assumed, first
kindled in the young poet's heart that fire
which afterwards shone with such splen

Doubtful..—lt is rumored in Atlanta
that that exemplary politician and very
popular citizen, Joseph E. Brown, will go
upon the Buprcme Bench, under the Bul
lock regime.
We are not disposed to give credence to
any such rumor. That position is one of
honor, but not much profit. A scat in the
.Senate under a Radical administration,
with its gorgeous reveliings in unchecked
robbery and jobbery, would sui bis taste
much better. Under such favorable cir
cumstances, who shall compute the in
crease of that “ legacy” left him during
the war? We would take a lively bet on
its being represented by at least $3,000,000
at the end of his six years.
Choked Off.—We were greatly pleased
with the dispatch published yesterday
morning, announcing the resignation of
that immaculate patriot, Forney, from his
position as Secretary of the Senate.
The pressure must have been very heavy,
or the prospects of pickings and stealings ;
in some other position very flattering, to ;
induce such a step. If the former, prob
ably Mr. Fessenden should have the credit*
At least that inference is legitimate, if the
following paragraph he correct:
Mr. Fessenden, in secret session, on Fri
day, declared that he had received half a
bushel of letters—some advising, some
entreating, some instructing, and many
threatening him even to assassination
should he dare to vole for acquittal. He
said these threats had been endorsed in the
Senate. Several Senators sprang to their
feet and demanded he should name the l
Senator. He added it was, perhaps, by an
officer of the Senate (that is, Forney). — J

The Proper Man.— -We learn from At

ed much newspaper notoriety by trying
to fasten upon certain very respectable
gentlemen of this State, the charge of
falsehood, has gone on to Washington
City as the custodian of the document
ironically designated as the “ Constitu- j
tion of the State of Georgia.” We can !
conceive of no more tilting person tor such j
an errand.
The Chambers (Ala.) Tribune says a ■
man named Reiser, or Belcher, living
near Hickory Flat, Chambers county, has
belched up one of the most remarkable
stories of tlie season. He says that thirty

missed him. The best of the joke is that
General Meade believed the story, and
sent, up a squad to arrest the whole Klnx

A Destructive Wind near Ukorge-
I town, S. O.—A terrible blow, attended
with much damage to property and loss of
! life, took place above Georgetown, S. C.,
: on Thursday last, between two and three
I o'clock in the afternoon. The wind cont
lncnced at the plantations of Dr. (at f ’ i
and Mr. Reese Ford, on Black river,
where the buildings were somewhat in
jured, and took a course from there to the
Ueedee river, where it passed immediately
over the plantation of Dr, Fishburne. At
this point it was terribly severe demolish
ing some thirty small buildings, breaking
most of them entirely up, and injuring
several large structures, ami in the demo
lition of these bouses some three colored
persons were killed outright, and several
others badly if not dangerously injured.
The trees along the course of the wind
presented a scene of entire destruction, be
ing almost universally broken or rooted
up, and in several instances were lifted
from the ground to a great elevation. It
is feared that further damage to'life and
property may be heard of. The hour be
ing one when many persons were in the
field and not at their residences, prevented
a greater loss of life. —( has. Ne ws, 12 th.

A IVIIHII FKOJI HAWKITSVILLE.
Mr. Editor: This usually quiet town
has been, for tbe past few (lays, tbe theatre
of a very considerable ecclesiastical gather
ing. The District meeting of the Macon
District of the Methodist Episcopal Church
(South,) under the charge of Presiding El
der Jewett, has been in session here.
Several oj the leading Methodist officials
from neighboring counties, and quite a
number of ministers were in attendance.
Besides Mr. Jewett, the community have
had sermons Irom Rev. Mr. McGehee.and
Doctors Key and Myers of Macon, and
Dr. Smith, President of Emory College,
and last, hut not least, from the venerable
Dr. Loviek Pierce. This distinguished
divine preached four days iu succession with
a fire and force, a power of argument and
of eloquence, t hat-make- him a wonder of
the age, lie being—as he told his congre
gation—now in his slth year. To hear
and see him in the pulpit one would pro
nounce him fully twenty years younger.
The writer was fortunate enough to hear
an able address from Dr. Smith, represent
ing the prosperous condition of Emory
College. lie eloquently set forth the
worth of that Institution, which is doing
so much for church and .State, and which
deserve* much at the hands of Georgians.
The people of Hawkiiisvilie have been
delighted and profiled by this meeting,
the religious services of which are con
tinued, although the ecclesiastical body
has iluislie l iisavork and adjourn'd. Bo
many eminent preachers have, J believe,
never been here together. The church,
which they represented must certainly lie
a power iu the land, if a small District,
one out of a dozen or more m Georgia, cun
turn out in surh force, so many wise and j
influential laymeli—so many zealous, and ;
popular, and eloquent minister#, us were !
gathered in this little city, from a few ;
neighboring counties, i learn that there I
are some who think that this and other
so called sects will soon he swallowed
but if the signs of life and power mani
fested here are considered, I opine that [
some centuries will first elapse. It is un
derstood that the eloquent l’.ishop Pierce
would have been at this meeting, but for
absence from tbe State on Episcopal duty ; j
but if he bad been present and bad proved j
■Himself very much more able and success- j
fui than the ministers did who were here, !
there would have been nothing but Metho- j

Till. UK VI. I*LOT,
Those who only see in Bullock’s instal -
lation as Governor of Georgia a triumph
of Radicalism and of a shameless raid by
scalawags and carpet-sack adventurers
upon the offices of a Stale, look only at
the surface. The real meaning is far dif
ferent, and comprehends, within itself, so
much of evil to the people that we can
hardly bring ourselves to credit it. It
means nothing more nor less than the
turning over the control of the State to
the Yankee Adams Express Company by
virtue of a sale of the State Road to that
corporation, after they, the Hulloekites,
have all made fortunes out of it, and made
it such ail expense to the people as to cause
them to wish to get rid of it upon any
terms! That is why Bullock, a tool of
this Express Company, was put forward
as the candidate of the Radicals for Gov
ernor. The State of Georgia is to be own
ed and controlled by men residing in the
Northern States, whose only interests are
to make as much money by the operation
us possible, and, m. the same time, send
such men to Congress as will perpetuate
the power of the Radical party. \\ <• have
an example of this in New Jersey, which
is controlled by the Camden and Amboy
Railway; and ir. Illinois, where the Illi
nois Central Railway has a most powerful
influence in shaping and directing the ad
ministration of political affairs.
How do those silly people who helped
to make this man Governor for the sake
of that enormous humbug, jocosely called
“ relief,” like the prospect? 'Their State
and its offices in the hands of robbers,
plunderers and political gamblers, who
are to bankrupt us. and then sell us out to
a Yankee corporation to be treated as are
the “free electors” of an English “ close
borough.”
A SI ATI: tOAVI VTIOiY.
Our Augusta cotemporaries are sound
iiig the call for a State Convention of the
Democratic party. We respond to it,
with the remark that if they expect a
HtateCouvention to work a miracle of or-
I ganizntion, and a better show for success
hereafter than they have made in the
| past, without the right kind of work on
their own part, they are expecting a little
| too much. The Gods help those who help
themselves. The best creed and the
strongest faith are valueless, practically,
without organization, ami organization is
impossible where there is a disposition to
insisthipon personal object ions and to yield
an acquiescence that is emasculated by the
! poison of protest. As to the day of hold
j ing the Convention, we do not deem it
wise or necessary to meet until after both
i the parties to the Presidential contest have
i met and marked out the ground upon
I which they intend to fight. Detail the
issues thal will he discussed, and ever}
. point to be contended for, be clearly ant
: sharply defined, before we commit our
selves to a formal proclamation of our pur
poses and principles. If it will not shod
j the nerves of our sensitive Augusts
friends, we may mention, in this conneo
tion, that the Executive Committee wil
have a meeting soon, and endeavor to d<
j all in their power to put matters en trail
' for them to retrieve the April Waterloo.
“BELIEF.”
! That amiable old gentleman, Mr.
i Thadeus Stevens, of the State of Pennsyl
vania, and whose evil fortune it is to hold
a lien upon the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States, has
made a slash at the so-called Constitution
'of Georgia, already. We are told that lie
lias decreed the non-acceptance of that
instrument, unless provision is made iu it
for cheating only “rebels” out of their
honest dues. “Loyal” men are not to suf
fer by the swindle. “Relief” is to be good
as against, a “rebel,” but not as against a
ntan who was “loyal to the United States
and opposed to secession.” As nothing
will be easier than for the “rebel” to sell
or transfer his claim to ail accommodating
“loyalist,” we rather think the sap heads
and knaves who put the swindle through,
will commence,before very long, realizing
how they have been shorn. We congrat
ulate litem upon the size end flavorof this
Dead Sea apple. They have got Bullock
and his unscrupulous, hungry horde of
plunderers, and they have fastened upon
themselves universal negro suffrage, and
they have not got release from the pay
ment of their honest debts! What a grim
joke they must find it, eh !

The Chicago dlepublican of the 7th inst.
gives an account of a very singular phe
nomenon occurring in that city on the
day before. When it is recollected that
this place has earned for itself, and justly,
too, a reputation that almost parallels that
of those famous cities of old, whose de
struction is related in Holy Writ; and
that it is to be still further polluted in a
few days by tbe assembling of a body
whose sole purpose is to dethrone Law, de
stroy the Constitution and immolate Lib

tial lust for place and plunder, we may
not find it difficult to understand this pro
test and warning from Nature. Khe may

About 5 o’clock in the afternoon the

to envelop the entire face of nature iu h

of cold and dampness whieli pervaded the

to tremble who are not superstitious.

—We infer, from tlie following, that the
Radicals and their chosen leader, Grant,
are becoming alarmed at the prospects of
General llaucoek’s - nomination by the
Democratic party as its candidate for Presi
dent, and tfiat they will not scruple to use
any means to get him out of the way. NV e
quote from a recent letter to the Mobile
Register, from its editor, Mr. Forsyth :
A few days ago tlie carriage of General
C. who commanded a division in Han
cock’s corps) was standing at a private
door. An army officer in uniform came
along, and asked the driver whose carriage
it was.
Driver— Geuerai C.’s, and lie is in the
house, with General Hancock.
Officer — And do you drive General Han
cock about'?
Drive) —Yes, sir.
Officer— Well, Instead of doing that, you
ought to take tlie first opportunity to make
your horses run away, upset the carriage,
and break his ad copperhead neck.
Driver —l am hired to drive safely, am!
not to break people’s necks. General C,
will he down presently, and may be you
had better wait and tell him this.
The officer passed on. This is an actual
occurrence. Grant has become very bit
ter himself, and, as he is the fountain of
military favor, the army officers on his
side are catching tlie fever, and the timid
Bin! time serving are afraid to go about
General Hancock’s headquarters. The
latter General has no personal relations
with Gruut —disdaining all intercourse
with him, on the declared ground that
General Grant had grossly insulted him
in those New Orleans orders upon which
he asked to be relieved of his command.
The Southern Baptist Convention
—Fiendish Outrage. —We cordially con
gratulate our friends of this denomination
upon the large and zealous assemblage now
convened at Baltimore, to represent the
interests of that Church. We had fully
intended to publish at least a synopsis of
their daily proceedings, hut missing tlie
first day, we have not been able since to
make room for the report of each day, as
found in the Baltimore papers.
We were inexpressibly shocked to read,
in connection with this Convention, the
particulars of a horrible outrage, whereby
it is feared Mrs. J. 1.. M. Curry, wife of
the Rev. J. L. M. Curry, formerly a mem
ber of both the United States and Confed
erate Congress, but now President of How
ard College, Marion, Alabama, will lose
her life. While proceeding by rail from
Washington City to Baltimore, she was
struck on the head by a large stone thrown
violently through one of the car windows
and her skull fractured. We have not
learned whether any steps have been taken
to discover the perpetrator.
“Gone to Hell.”—Tn this.terse sen
tence do Messrs. Butleraud Washburne,ac
cording to the Louisville Count r’a Wash

miserable old sinners, with all who fol
low their lead in this great wiekedness.

all rallying around the project for having
Bullock and his Legislature domiciled in

shouts most lustily for that consummation,

published' there. How pleasant it is to
see brethren burying the hatchet and an

Under this head we took occasion yes*
I terday to comment upon what we con
ceived to be very reprehensible practices,
witnessed in a certain New York church
called Bt. Alban’s, belonging to tlie Pro
testant Episcopal denomination. - We still
think our strictures were just and deserv
ed—if the statement of the writer whom
we quoted is true. Our correspondent
who speaks below denies that statement,
however, and therefore as there is no foun
dation for the unfavorable criticism, -i
there can be no offence meant or taken.
The writer cannot be suspected of any
prejudice or bias against the Episcopal
Church, when it is known that, though
not a member of that denomination, ho is
a regular attendant upon its Church ser
vicer, and has’nothing hut the sincertG.
good wishes for its future prosperity atlul
usefulness.
In regard to our negligence in endorsing
such “pitiable superficiality,” we have to
i say that this is not the first time siuiiJhr
statements have found their way into i n?
public prints, and so far as we know, up
to this time, at least, without denial. O ■
reverend friend w ill therefore pardon i .
if we confess our inability to recogni
the justice or propriety of his rebuke.

Gentlemen: In to-day’s paper, the

ticle headed “Phogt:i.,-si ve,” an introduc
tion and comment on an extract from tlie
New York correspondence of a Charleston
paper, in which the writer states what
will take place in Bt. Albans, “on Ascen
sion (Sunday.”
Now, whatever >■> ranon /*>• they may liav<-
used in that Chapel—the facts of the cast
are, that the Priests of Bt. Albans have
never dared deviate from one word of the
prayer book in any of tbe services of the
church —or they would have long since
been presented for trial. Nor would they
dare now introduce any devotions to the
Virgin, and any intelligent man ought to
know tiiat no such devotions are found in
the prayer-book. 1 appeal, then, to your
sen.-e of justice, is it right to prejudice ;l
community through the influence'of your
paper against a church, or any portion of
it, by so baseless a supposition ? Your
writer speaks of the celebration oft!
mass—concerning which 1 must say that
there is no possibility of any Priests of the
Anglican <>r A merican church, celebrating
tlie Roman Ma“s, so long as he uses th
Book of Common Prayer. The puerile

Washington, May I”.—The excitement
in the city to-night is intense. Bets are
going freely at two for one in favor of the
President, who lias suddenly become very
popular us a man and as a patriot. The
White House, however, is not illuminated,
and no demonstration of rejoicing is ex
hibited by tlie immediate friends of Mr.-
Johnson,
.When it was known to-day tiiat the im
peachment was postponed, the revulsion
of sentiment, though turning in favor of
acquittal before, was complete ami imme
diate. It is regarded by all parties as a re
pulse. rSouators Fessenden, Grimes JLlen-
UerKoo anti Trumbull are believed to be
backed by Bherman, of Oil* >, Authony,
of BjwteLJUdnmi. Bpiague, snd hair a
dozen others. There is a chance for twelve
tumubfiearu.. four *
defeat lbe depo.-irmn of the j'JBU .
/-•owier, of Xeoo.n-ee, is doubtful. It is
said that tlie home ... hrou dil to
hear.on him is very great. He is m...-
eommittal on the subject himself, a.- he
ought to be. His colleagues of course are
Constantly about him, using what influ
ence they have to m with his party.
Tlie President himself has never doubted
the result, and is, consequently, unmoved
by the excitement which passes around
him.
The temper of the leading Radical.- is
very vehement and bitter. Judge Chase
comes in for their sharpest abuse. They
regard the failure to convict as due, in a
great measure, to his interference and in
fluence. Fessenden cannot he moved by
threats, nor Grimes nor Trumbull. Hen
derson is ler-s certain, but there i- no cau
to doubt him. The more intelligent ot
Republicans express gratification at the
turn affairs have lakeu.
It is believed that tbe failure to convict
on Saturday will cause a split next week
in the Radical Con vention at Chicago, and
this argument is used very freely to whip
in tbe recreant Senators An effort to in
duce both Wade aud Grant to withdrawal
in favor of Sheridan, is being made, Jjty
may be successful. In this event (.VU
would succeed Johnson. But if
is not impeached Grant's chances f
