The Turks, for some years, have been op pressing the Cretans—the Greek inhabi tants of a small island—formerly Caudia— under Turkish rule. The Turks were too strong for them ; aud the crescent has al most overpowered the cross. Some of the Cretans have fled to their mountain fast nesses, and are still defending themselves. They deserve great credit, and they have our sympathies. We are very much in the same condition—all except the moun tain fastnesses and the persistent resist ance. Boston, which is going to redeem the Cretans, has put its foot on our neck. As towards the Cretans, we are with Bos ton ; as towards Boston, we are with the Turks. Boston prints a paper in the interest of tht*Crotsnled *‘ The Cretan.” It isa very neat little quarto—well gotten up. It lias been sent to us, with a request that we should notice its object and help the cause it advocates, if we are favorable to it. We are favorable. If Boston will let us ii])— just take its foot from our neck— wo will help “ The Cretan .” We cannot do it, while we are down. Boston has a very big foot, and lias sef it down very heavily on our neck. We cannot help ourselves, much less the Cretans. Boston mvist put its other foot on the Turks. Then, may be, the Cretans can recover and help The Cretans? are in terrible condition, according to the Boston philanthropists and their organ, The Cretan. A sad pic ture is drawn. It reads very much like a description of Sherman’s march to the I sea, or a picture of Columbia in the latter days of February, 1865. An agent visits ttie “Refugees”—a word once so familiar j to our ears. He writes: “I immediately proceeded to ascertain, By personal inspection., tiie number, con dition, and wants of tlfe refugees. There were then over twelve thousand entirely destitute, and supported by charity ; about two thousand who saved enough in their flight, or were able to earn enough, to sup port themselves, and more were coutin uallv coming. “The largest part were children ol ten der age; the rest were women and a few old men. They were living huddled to gether in barracks, or other buildings— twenty, thirty, forty in a room, sitting or lying upon the floors, without tables, chairs, or bedsteads In this sad condi tion, ragged, hungry aud idle, they anx iously awaited news from their husbands, fathers, brothers, lighting for the homes and the gardens which they themselves had abandoned, hut fondly hoped to see again. “In all this penury, dirt and suffering, the women looked sad, hut patient and resigned, the girls looking more hopeful, while the littleones were as merry as your children. But they ail strove to make the best of their sail condition ; and, grouping themselves according to families, each one arranged some tattered blankets or rude utensils, broken crockery and scraps of furniture, in some nook or corner “Moreover, in spite of all their pendiy, squalor, and rags, they showed signs ot the physical beauty and mental vivacity Which distinguish the Cretans among the Greeks who are acknowledged to he (.re eminent, physically, anting the various nationalities of the Bast. Fine skins, de cate features aud limbs, aud large lustrous eyes, make them remarkable even in “Most of these unfortunate people had fled away at the outbreak of the revolt; but others were coming in continually, as the Turkish army extended its ravages They were all of them living witnesses ol the barbarous nature of Turkish warfare; for people do not abandon house and home, and fly half naked, before the approach of armies warring after the manner of civi lized nations. Even the Polish peasant did not thus fly before Russian armies; and the only parallel is to be found among barbarians, or savages on our own iron tier ;”—yr— we may add—Boston bum mers.” The Cretans know, too, what a “block ade” means. The writer says: “A vigorous blockade has converted the whole island into a vast prison-house, in which tortures of various kinds are syste matically applied upon an immense scale, ami upon the whole population of insur gent districts.” And again : “Disciplined armies, preceded by fanatic and ferocious irregulars, devastate the open country, burn the houses, destroy tile crops, cut down the trees, teal up t le vines, and leave no living ami no green thing behind them.” And here is a scene, attending a distri bution of supplies, such as has been seen nearer at hand than Crete is. “The poor creatures were so eager to net a garment of any kind to cover their children's nakedness, or their own, that they thronged and choked the passages. Stifl they did not clamor or bog in words. There was none of the crying out, and praying and blessing you, so common atnmm mendicants. They were unpruc tieed in any art of begging. Pressing hunger and want, and fear ot nakedness, impelled them to come and show their condition. Mothers mutely held up their infants above the crowd, and pushed their little girls before them—but were still.” The following is a graphic picture. It might have been painted without crossing the Atlantic. " The smoke of burning dwellings now went up, not only from villages on the plains, hut from hamlets in the mountains, from shepherds’ huts and folds, and front the tents and temporary shelters erected by refugees who had abandoned them, and who had clambered up higher with their children and their goats. I myself, while sailing along the coast saw the smoke going up from their villages day by day, and saw the light of their tires by night. Such things may seem to you marvellous and incredible, 'because you have never witnessed the like, nor has pur land ever known them [a great mistake, Mr. Cre tan”! • hut history is full of them, nor have they yet ceased in countries where the hand of the tyrant is unstayed by law or public opinion. [1 idelxcet, the South, m the late war.] Reading a description of the ways of the oppressors m the Old Testament seems like reading an ac count of Crete at this very day. Job says: “Some remove the landmarks, they violently take away flocks, and feed there of ; they drive away the ass of the father less; they take the widow’s ox for a pledge; they turn the needy out of the way; t lie poor of the earth hide them- selves together. ... . “They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. , .. _ “They are wet with the showers of the mountain, and embrace the rocks for want of a shelter. “They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge from the poor. “They cause liim to go without cloth ing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry.” “We trust,” says “The Cretan,” “you will encourage your readers to aid us by direct contributions.” Can’t do it, sir. Reason— read the story of the South as given above, in your own columns. An other reason is, that you say, 1 lie Cre- ■ tans remember Scio, which, in the long, | long struggle between the Greeks and the Turks, bears the same relation to them that Fort Pillow does to our civil war. When you have ceased to falsify history <§e«gia So tint at iawtl JPessengct, to institute a parallel between Confede rates and Turks, Fort Piilow and Scio— thus giving currency to an infamous slander, long since refuted —when Boston lias taken her foot off our neck—then come on, and we’ll help you give liberty to the world. But we.must ourselves first be free. PLACE Al'X DAMES We find the following in a recent letter from “Pink,” at New York, to tlie Charles ton Courier: But we are progressing now-a-days—we are making history pretty fast in all mat ters and things, especially on the political chess-board. Thus, for instance, while we know that female suffrage is to be one of the leading political questions of the future, our neighboring little village of Passaic, iu New Jersey, only fourteen miles distant from the metropolis, has just established the great precedent of permit ting the fair sex to participate in electing officers. -On Tuesday Passaic elected its Street Commissioner and other officers, and eleven brave women cast their ballots, to the great delight of the villagers, who hud loqg decided that any womau holding real estate in her own name had a perfect right to choose visage officers. It is sin gular, however, tlrat there was no split in the female vote. It leaked out that they had held a caucus on the night before election, and the caucus-chosen candidate was the successful mau on the next day. The principle thus engrafted upon our po litical customs though by insignificant Jersey villages, will tell in the course of time. Other towns and villages will fol low the example, and subsequently the .State will no doubt engraft female suffrage upou its statute books. All that is needed U to get the people accustomed to it, and the admirers of this modern system could not have chosen a better time than the present, while we are permitting an un educated and ignorant race of men to share with us the right of suffrage. Cer tainly our women will not commit the blunders we hear of almost daily, which have occurred in some of tlie Southern States during the late elections. Oppo nents of female suffrage are entirely over come by arguments like these, constantly applied to them by men who hold up the rightof women to vote as against the right of the negro. . Apropos of women, the Woman s League or Club, as it is called, is now reg ularly organized. At a luncheon given at Delmonico’s on Monday last, Miss Al ice Gary, the new President, read her in augural address in the presence of about forty ladies, all members of the Club.— Whether they were all authoresses or wo men of culture, no outsider can tell, for the simple reason that none but ladies were present, and their statements have not yet been made public. I judge, how ever. from the change of name under which the organization appears from time to time, that the great question how to name the new bantling is as much a source of trouble to women as ever. First it was called Sorosis, next we heard of the Wo man’s League, and now again it is known by the name of Woman’s Club, until next month probably, when no doubt some other title will lie suggested. The papers here have generally made fun of the af fair, but the ladies do not seem to mind it much. On the contrary, Miss Cary, in her address, on Monday, called attention to it quite boldly, and announced her de termination to urge the complete organi zation of the Club, in spite of male sneers. The Club is safe for one year, for it will take these forty ladies at least fully that time to agree upon tlieir Constitution ami By-Laws. Borosis punch is the strongest these ladies take at tlieir re-unions. Amid all the ruin and desolation, the heartsickness aud mental agony that lie at the door of the late infamous war upon our homes aim n.. 1 .3. ~ - Cod. every day, for one consolation as proud as it is priceless, ft is that the Women of the South, the types and representatives in this Nineteenth century of those who watched at the Savior’s tomb, have come out of the contest purer and brighter than ever. The baptism of blood which they were compelled to witness, and with which, alas! so many of the noblest ming led their bitter tears, has been to them as the fiery breath of the crucible to pure gold. There was naught that was grand, or heroic, or self-sacrificing in action or suffering that they did not dare and do, while the struggle lasted ; but tiie poison breath, even of Yankee malignity ami I falsehood, fails to frame an indictment ! against their modesty and that devotion I to the decor pm of social, and sexual pro priety that is, with them, both sentiment and conviction. Whether in the camp or i amid tiie crowded cots of a hospital, how ! ever much they may have usurped places, and assumed duties that thrilled wit]* pain every nerve of their exquisitely sensi tive organizations, they never became cal | Unis or careless—they never unsexed them : selves. They were Women, yes Southern ’ Women, through it all-the very highest j type, the noblest exemplarsof the sex that | God’s sun shines upon. We say it with a heart full of pride. It is the cherished treasure of every South ern man's heart and memory. It is the deliberate verdict of an applauding world, and it will be the enduring record of His tory. In the salons of Paris and London, and Vienna, high born dames this day re hearse, in accents of mingled surprise and admiration, the trials and triumphs, the more than Paladin courage, and the match less delicacy and refinement of those whom they recognize, by the freemasonry of gen tle breeding, as sisters. Whatever may have beeu the social status of our mothers, sis ters, wives and sweethearts in European eyes before the war, that epoch lifted them to a level with the highest. May they ever preserve it! And they will. They will leave this crowding to the polls with shouting, swearing, brutal men to Northern women. They will leave this handing together in clubs and leagues, whereof the principal features seem an insane and unwomanly desire to spit upon Home and its duties, and a morbid craving for becoming targets in print for the sharp tongues of brutal cynic and foul mouthed blackguards, to Mother Cary and her clacking brood. They will hold to the positions that God made them for, and where the ehivalrie tender ness and knightly devotion of the men of j the South have hedged them round with all that pure, good women expect or de sire. While the women of the South are true to the traditions and instinctsof their race, and true to the teaching and exam ple of the mother and wife of Washing too, our faitli in a great and glorious lu ture for the men of the South shall never die. liirsmi.

Forney’s Resignation. —A corres pondent of the Baltimore Gazette gives it as his opinion that Fofihey’s resignation is a mere preconcerted sham. It is ob servable that he makes his retirement de pendent upon the appointment of a suc cessor. it seems he had assurance that no “appointment” would he made. His missive was accordingly tabled, and there it will lie, Tiie correspondent says: “1 have it from trustworthy authority that Wash bur ne, in argument, distinctly told Mr. Trumbull tiiat Grant would de cline the Chicago nomination if the Pres ident was not removed. The conversa tion occurred, I learn, on Tuesday. Mr. Trumbull made no reply. A sound reason this for the deliberate violation of a man’s oath.” Per Contra, another correspondent, says: “It is generally thought Forney has had no intention of resigning, but merely wanted to get a compliment from tiie Ben ate in the shape of a refusal to accept his resignation. There is no doubt, however, that it will be accepted, as a majority of the Senators want to get him out. Among those named as successors to Forney are Lafayette C. Foster, ot Con necticut ; J. A. J. Creswell, of Maryland : Gen James Brishin, of Kentucky; 1 hos. L. Tulli ch, Secretary of the Union t oil gressional Committee; Wlll. J. McDonald. Chief Clerk of the Senate. Fire in Thomaston.—A correspon dent of the Atlanta Intelligencer writes from Thomaston that a disastrous fire 00* curred in that thriving town on the morn ing of the loth iust. The storehouses of Win. Johnson & Sou, andS. J. Lewis, tiie Carriage Repository of John Bland, and tiie Photograph Gallery of C. C. Sharp were burned. All being close together and constructed of wood they were quickly de stroyed, and very few goods saved. Just one year ago, precisely, the town was burned, and tiie loss was heavier than now. This loss is estimated at $20,000, upon which there was an insurance of $7,600. rt was evidently the work of an incendiary, but no clue had been dis covered totrace it to any particular person. A note toourofllce, says respecting this fire: “ We bad another serious lire here last Friday morning, just one year, to an hour, from tiie burning of last year.

One of the most cold-blooded murders which lias happened for sometime in tins part of the .State, occurred late yesterday afternoon, about three miles from town, on the Nashville and Northwestern Rail road. Os the circumstances which led to the committal of the bloody deed, and of the deed itself, we have the following par ticulars. A suit is pending in the Williamson County Court between a man named Bob Phipps and the administrator of the estate of James Newsome, deceased. While the Confederate forces held sway in Tenue see, James Newsome purchased a piece of laud from Bob Phipps, lor which he paid Confederate money. Phipps and credit ors now bring suit to recover the amount in greenbacks, on the ground that the Confederate notes were not legal currency, and that, on this account, the title made was not a good one. Bob Phipps, his brother-in-law, A. N. Gray and Dr. Bel- Held Newsome, met at A. L. Demoss of fice on Cedar iStreet, yesterday afternoon, to lake the depositions of several witnesses before Justice W. A. Mathews. W hue the last witness was under examination, a conversation commenced between New some and Phipps, which grew into a uea - ed controversy. Dr. Newsome remarked that enough lies had already been told aboutthecase under consideration. I liipps responded in a similar spirit, and made some opprobious remark m regard to-ome former act of Dr. Newsomes’ father, at which Dr. Newsome became very mucii offended, and attempted to draw his pistol, a Derringer, but was prevented by Jusiice Mathews and Mr. Demoss, who caught hold of his arms. Phipps then leit, 111,1 was afterward heard to say that he would kill Dr. Newsome before fie lett the city. It was not believed by Mr. Demoss that anything very serious would grovv out ot ttie affair in his olliee, but the result show ed that Phipps was only too sincere in t he threat he had made. A letter was receiv - ed by Colonel Stone last night through the hands of J. H. Wood, conductor on the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad, to the effect that Dr. Newsome had been fatally shot by Boh Phipps while the train was about three miles from this city, and that tlie murder had been characterized by such boldness and celerity, that even the passengers in the same car did not know it had been committed until Phipps pull ed the bell rope, stopped the train and made his escape into the woods. Dr. Newsome’s body was left at Belle view.—Nashville Banner, 11th. The “City PnVk” fever has spread to Nashville, Tenn. The citizens of that place are very anxious to have a parn made there.

We find, in our neighbor of tiie Tele graph, of date tiie 20th inst., another let ter irom H. M. Turner, the Washington City mulatto who was elected (?) last month one of the delegates from this honored county of Bibb, to the Georgia Legislature. This letter seems to have been written for tiie purpose of supplying the read ers of the Telegraph with the latest and most reliable information concerning tiie mental and physical status of that staunch friend of the South, Mr. Tliadeus Stevens. Turner, with several oilier colored preachers, al! Radicals, of course, paiil him a visit, and he paid them t lie compliment of a speech. They were all, Turner especially, filled with admiration of this “marvellous man,” who “beggars all description.” Moved with pity and love, Turner “gushes” us follows : "No one can look upon him without feel ing a degree of sympathy, particularly if lie attempts to speak, to see his mind struggling to make his physical frame subserve its tiurjKJses, and essay to make his almost ejnaciated functions obey the dictates of ids indomitable will is exhib itive of sueb a contention between mind and inert matter, that pity necessarily uc tMiipanils the sight.” He does not tell us what the old malig nant said, Hut. we have been informed on that point through other sources. It was tiie usual harangue whose devilish venom and pitiless ferocity towards “ rebels ” aud “traitors,” basso often invoked the applause of our enemies and oppressors in twd out of Congress. Whether he re peated the wish, expressed on one or more occasions, heretofore, to shut up tiie entire white population of the South “ in tiit) penitentiary of hell” is not known, but it is reasonable to supjawe tiiat this amiable proposition was not entirely lost sight of. We consider it almost unpar donable in Turner not to have furnished the Telegraph with a synopsis, at least, of the remarks, upon ttiis interesting occa sion, of tiie “ marvellous man.” We hopi he will supply the omission, here after. Seriously: We, of course, recognize the perfect right of tiie Teh graph,ox any other paper to pubh.-h or exclude just such mat ter as it chooses, but we say frankly, and fa the confident belief that nine out of svtry “‘ii true men in Georgia will back ns in the opinion, that such compliments as opening tlieir columns to puffs of such devils a* Thai Stevens, written by notori ous Radical agitators aud emissaries, wbo are here on missions of blood and strife, are in very questionable lu-de. lin tier is known in all this section as one of tiie most dangerous tools, w hite or black, tiiat Radicalism in its war upon our rights, and property has ever subsidized, and ids in fluence, which is great, was most mis chicviously felt in the late election. .Speak ing, we know, for the people of Bibb county, ii]>on whom lie lias been fastened by foicc and fraud as a representative, we do not hesitate to animadvert upon the propriety of a journal published in their midst, and which lias always received from them such a generous support, lend ing its columns to such characters. \» by not let them find exponents and readers through tiie plunder-propped concerns at Augusta and Atlanta?

We shall is.- greatly (surprised to learn that the readers of the Tehgraph are ill tiie same category. o >ai:s it” «?> mi; i..vie flu i iom. “Nabob,” the well-posted and always readable Georgia correspondent of the Louisville Courier, whose letters we have frequently published, presents, in a late letter, the significant and very gratifying fact of Radical failure to concentrate the colored vote on tlieir candidates, as tiie only redeeming features in the late can vass. We do not quite agree with him as to Us being tiie “only redeeming feature,” hut this en passant, however. He says: The only redeeming circumstance in the whole catalogue of incidents connected with this humiliating defeat, isthe discov- ! erv that the Radicals reckoned without ! their host when they counted on the uni- ; ted support of the negroes. It has been proved that the negroes cannot be all de luded by the land and mule promises into an abandonment of those who have always been their best friends; that even the ter rorism of the loyal leagues and subterra nean conspirators cannot frighten them • into a blind and unquestioning support of Blodgett, Bryant & Cos., and that when ever another popular election takes place in Georgia, the Radicals will find that they will he hoisted by the petard which i tpoy prepared for the destruction of the white race. In Sumter county, where the negro strength is largely predominant Gapt John A. Cobh, the worthy son of his distinguished father, Gen. Howell Cobb, was elected to the House of Repre sentatives by a considerable majority. In jgaker county, also, where the same uu- merical relation of tlie races exists, the llemocrats triumphed. In the district ol which these counties form a part, the Radical candidate, Wliitely, the renegade Con federate soldier, the great svggestor o t the menagerie at Atlanta, was beaten out of sight for Congress by Col. 1 ift, a citizen of Albany, a most worthy and excellent gentleman, true to his State, his race, and his section. Couldn’t Raise THE Steam.— The car pet-baggers ail over the South are experi encing unusual difliculty, since the defeat of their masters at \\ ashington, in raising funds from the loyal leaguers for their current expenses for whisky, tobacco, and the monthly clean shirt and box of paper collars. Tlie “man and brother” iiuds the drain rather heavy, and as the warm weather approaches, when work of any kind is positively disgusting, he is dis posed to keep his "fifty centses” for his own personal comforts. We should not be at all surprised if some of these carpet sack gentry were not forced to go to work, before the summer is over. Apropos to this subject, we find in the Montgomery Mail of a recent date, an ac count of how one of Forney’s dogs, a vil lainous creature named Kefl'er, who has been wearying the indignation ot tlie respectable people of that Slate ever since tlie close of the war, recently failed in a raid of this sort upon the pockets of the “leaguers.” Hewas taking upasubscrip tion, ostensibly for the purpose ot sending a brother bummer to Washington to hasten the admission of Alabama. \\ bile lie was speaking, says tlie Mail, a sensible old sable leaguer muttered to himself that the thing of taking up “fifty centses” had about played cut, and that lie thought it the candidates for office wanted office they had better pay tlieir own expenses, and that Massa Glasscock, Felder and Stow had better head the list of contributions. Kefler called tlie gentleman to order, and went oil with lfis argument. When the hat was handed round it was found to contain $1125. The carpet-baggers couldn’t get up steam. Tlie audience was much smaller than it had ever been. The ne groes have been led by the nose long enough. it is computed that there are one hundred and fifty barrels of whiskey drunk in Boston daily. REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL. We invite the attention of all the repre sentatives elected to the Legislature from counties South of Atlanta to the sub joined well considered remarks of the Southern Recorder of the 19th inst. They I state the whole case so forcibly that we forbear any comment or argument of our own. It is hardly necessary to add that j we endorse and most pressingly urge upon i our friends in the counties indicated the | propriety aud importance of the sugges | tion contained in the last paragraph: | IMPROVEMENTS—THE CAPITAL—REMOVAL. By the provisions of the Constitution, tiie Legislature can, by a two-thirds vote of two successive legislatures, amend an article or section by submitting the amendment to the voters of the Btate. We hope that tiie tody to convene will not fail to amend tiie tenth article, by striking out Atlanta and substituting Milledge ville. Tiie removal of tbe Capital was an outrage upon the tax-payers of tiie State, and a bid to Cherokee, Ga,, to dishonor iierseif, which we are happy to say, she scorned with just indignation. She did not want the Capital iu Atlanta with such a radical Constitution. But there are questions of a graver char acter than tiie pleasing of this or that sec tion with tiie Capital; its influence and advantages. The present Capitol lias been lately repaired from roof to basement, at an outlay of near $40,000; also, tbe Execu tive Mansion ba.-> undergone thorough re pair from roof to basement, at an outlay of about $15,000. The question arises, is ail this work to he thrown away, independent of Die money spent for repairs? We have now finished a fine Supreme Court room iu tiie basemeutof tiie Capitol, with all necessary rooms for Clerk, Re- . porter, &e., and a Law Library room, ad joining the consultation room of the : Judges, all in the basement. In fact, the > 10,000 spent upon the Capitol, has made it anew building out and in- It does not : look like the same building, and would hardly be recognized when viewed from ! the North and South fronts. The base ment, with line ventilation and modern improvements is altogether new. What j folly, under the circumstances, to remove the Capitol, when not desired by the tax payers of tiie Slate. But there is another consideration tiiat we would present to the'reader, that out weighs all tiie test put t< gether ; and one tiiat will cause many to think. From tiie Comptroller General's Ke|»ort for ls6l including tire year iB6O, when Georgia j was m her glory iu point of wealth; we find from that report, tiiat there were MXTY FOU R/, unties in the .Stale that drew more from tin Treasury than they pah! in; and. that the heavy slave counties supporU and the (Jo remnant. ; a startling fact, j hut nevertheless a true one. Since tiie Slate has become impoverished, u ho would have at least two million of dollar*, to rebuild a j new Capitol aud Executive Mansion, “ worthy ol'tiie .-tale” as prated by those iu favor of removal ? Those whosupport ed the Government in days past; and to know what counties did it, consult tiie leport of I vjl.and it must be seen tiiat tbe counties lie below Atlanta, aud voted . against removal several tears ago when the question was agitated. * The heavy tax paying counties have ever been against removal, and especially to Atlanta, it being a hundred aud odd miles from the geographical centre of tiie State, while Miiiedgeville is within about -ix miles, by actual survey, by report of the Surveyor General. We would suggest in consideration | of the above facts, for all the counties of the Stale to call primary meetings and iu ' struct tiie legislators elect, to amend tiie i tenth article of the Constitution by retaiu | lug the Capitol at Miiiedgeville. We hope that the press of the State will urge 1 our suggestion. I A DESERVED AM> I X DESIRE D PRO MOTION. We beg to say to our friend Grouby, of tire Early County N'irt, that we do not de sire promotion to the rank of OolonH, and tiiat if lie insists upon calling us by tiiat title, it will be a brevet of his own conferring. We are neither General, Colonel, Major, Captain, Lieutenant, nor even—Esq. I’iain Mr. suits both our ideas of propriety and our ta*te, much better. While upon this subject, we desire to express, in behalf both of the publishers and ourself, our very sincere apprecia tion of our cotemporary’s good words as set forth in tiie following paragraph. We shall endeavor, always by a devotion to the Right as we conceive it, and unweary ing perseverance and energy iu tiie dis charge of our duties, always to deserve it: “The Journal and Messenger , now pub lished by J. W. Burke A Cos., and edited by that ableand bold Southern writer, Col. A. W. Reese, i- the very best paper iii the State, and we hope that our people through out South-Wes ern Georgia will give it their patronage.” The State Convention.—The Colum bus Sun <fc Times bad doubtless not seen j the notice published in yesterday’s issue of this journal, calling a meeting of the State Central Executive Committee of the Democratic party on Thursday, the 2Sih inst., when it made the suggestion of Ma con, as the place, and June 17th as the day for holding the proposed State Convention of that party. Without knowing exactly what the Committee will do in reference to the proposed Convention, we would re spectfully suggest that it might probably be best to await the action of the National Democratic Convention in New York on the -lili of July, before assembling a State Convention. We shall then have the en tire field, with all its points, strong and weak, before us, with tlie respective par ties, their chosen leaders, and the ground they intend to occupy, all thoroughly un masked. We trust our Columbus cotem porary will accept the amendment. Melancholy Suicide.—We learn that Mr. Magor Smith, of Griffin, formerly of tlie firm of Flemistou & Smith, of that place, committed suicide yesterday morn ing about daylight, by cutting iiis throat with a razor, lie got up about that hour, went into the basement of bis hon-e, and before anything was suspected, was a corpse. No cause is assigned for the fatal act, further than temporary mental aber ration, caused by an indulgence in drink, lie leaves a wile and several children and many friends to deplore liis shocking death. Hail Storm. —From a private letter written at Coal Mountain, Forsyth county, we extract the following: “A heavy hail storm fell about six miles below here on the 16tli. In one place the hail had accumulated to the depth of ten inches. The stones were very large. They tore the leaves off the trees and stripped many of their fruit. I saw several wheat fields that were ruined.” —Atlanta Era 15th. This accounts for the cool weather we have been enjoying here. Death of Hon. John A. Gilmer. — The death of Hon. John A. Gilmer is an nounced in the ‘Greensboro’ (N. C.) Pat riot, of the 15th instant, as follows: “We have barely time before going to press, to announce the death of the Hon. John A. Gilmer. This melancholy event occurred about ten o’clock on Thursday morning, at his residence in this place.” Body of Major Bturges Found.— From a Richmond paper we learn that the grave of Major J. R. Sturgess, of the 3d Georgia regiment, who was killed in the buttle of Seven Pines, was found in acorn field which was being ploughed. The body was taken up and reburied at tlie junction of the Charles City & Willams burg roads, about two and half miles from Richmond, Ya. Our cotemporaries are requested to give this a notice in order that it may reach the eye of tlie friends of tlie gallant soldier .—Savannah News & Her ald Vdth. FRIDAY, HAY 22, 18@8. THE RIGHT POLICY. 1 The Athena Watchman of the 20th, re lates the following incident, which y>o have read with great gratification. Gfed bless the women, and especially tiie wo men of brave old Clark couuty—our home for so many happy years, and around which will cluster, wherever we may go, and to life’s latest hour, some of tiie brightest memories that gild tiie highway of the Past. We commend their example to tlieir sisters everywhere. We approve, most heartily approve, tiie policy indi cated. We have said before, and we re peat here, that there is no weapon so keen and certain iu its sweep,as tiie rigid ostra cism "social, political, and in business, of those -who have deliberately elected, in tiiis struggle, to emulate tiie treason of Judas Iscariot. They have declared, by their acts, tiiat they desire and are work ing for the destruction of the rights, and liberties, and property of those whom an inscrutable Providence cursed with tlieir kinship. They have raised, for the foulest and basest purposes, their leprous hands against the very life of Georgia. They have brought reproach, many of them, upon tiie fair fame of honoafcd sires, and dragged in the loathsome slime and filth of tiie Radical shambles, genealogies here tofore without spot or blemish. They have basely betrayed and insulted tbe j wise, the good, ami the virtuous into ! whose company some of them have been received as equals, and to whose counte- I nance and patronage they are indebted for I all tiie power they have so basely prosti tuted. Let them be anathema maranatha, i henceforth and forever! Let no man as- j sail them by violence, though. Let no ! man even engage in verbal controversy with them. From the most brazen and conspicuous apostate of them all, down to 1 the viiest scullion who fattens and revels : upon the dirtiest offal, let tiie policy be absolute and uncompromising nou-reeog- 1 nition. Our enemies have s hack led our \ arms, but freedom of will and thought are : yet left us. But to the incident. Says the Watch man : We learn tiiat at a Missionary Baptist church in this county, last Saturday, tiie ladies of the congregation having learned tiiat their pastor, who resides in another county, had voted the Radical ticket at tiie late election, determined to ascertain decline Wneai*Turner , rrtz**.,r. —•» it no males present, the oldest lady was deputed by the others t<> interrogate the minister, who “acknowledged the corn ” at once; whereupon, she informed him that there was no use in coming there to preach tiie next day, as the whole congre gation itad pledged themselves not to turn out to heat him. He replied, in substance, that being a free country, every man had a right to vote as lie pleased, and he regretted tiiat politic* should tie mixed up with religion. The old lady rep,ied, that she had nothing to do with polities ami did not believe politics and religion should lie mixed together—and that, if this was a free country, she and the rest ot tiie congregation had a right to refuse to hear an unacceptable minister preach—-that tiie recent contest was not one on political differences, but between the races, and tiiat when a white man voluntarily aligned himself in opposition to ids own people, it was time for them to drop him ! IMPEACHMENT—WHY POST PONED. That rancorous and brutal Chronicle, j Forney’s Washington City organ, under takes to explain tiie reasons for adjourn ing the question of tiie remaining articles ot fmp-'Bobiuent to tbe gotli, and gloats, with fiendish malignity,over the prospect of yet convicting the President, whom it styles, with much unction, “tiie culprit. The delay, says that paper, will prevent the White House “criminal from setting “aside the reconstruction governments of “ tbe Southern States, ami compel the re “ cusant Republicans either to vote for or “ against the admission of Arkansas, “ Louisiana, Florida, South Carolina, "Georgia, and North Carolina, in accord ance with the terms prescribed by them “ selves.” It proceeds to say: “\\ hen “these States are admitted there will be “ added to tiie body of the Senate and to “ tiie High Court of the Impeachment ten “or twelve new Radical senators. With “ such an accession of strength, there will “be no difficulty in convicting and de “ posiDg Andrew Johnson.” Per Contra, tlie Washington correspond ent of the Baltimore Gazette says that Chief Justice Chase will refuse to swear | in these bummers as members of his court, j and thus block tlie “leetle game” of the ) virtuous Forney. At any rate, we shall i be glad to see the conspirators “try it on:” | “it is rumored that the Senate may admit I as .many new members as they please, but i not a mother’s son of them will be sworn | in as a member of the Court by Chief Jus itice Chase! lam encouraged to believe, I further, that if anew impeachment is essayed, and fourteen new senators are ad i milted, as threatened by Stokes in bis | Friday nig ill’s speech, to insureconvietton, at least seven old senators who vojed to i convict Mr. Johnson on tlie 11th article ; will be found in opposition to the new ar ticles.” Immigration. —A well written aud pertinent communication upon this all important subject appears upon the out side of this morning’s paper. We invite attention to it. Apropos to its recommen dations, we notice that a meeting of the landholders of Morgan' county and all others favoring immigration to that coun ty will be held in the Court House, at Madison, to-morrow (Saturday,). We hope to hear of others, particularly in the “Black bell” counties. As showing how the Southern States are slighted in this matter, we publish, be low the statistics, showing tlie number and destination of immigrants arriving at New York during the month of April. As will be seen the States of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Missis sippi, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland and Virginia, receiv ed, in all, but 575 persons. 1 he total number of arrivals during the month of April, reaches nearly 20,000.

A Brave Soldier Gone to his Rest. We regret to learn that Col. Frank Lit tle died at the residence of his father, in Walker county, on Sunday, the 17th inst. His disease was consumption. For a considerable time before the close of the war, t'ol. Little was in command of the 11th Georgia regiment. Few braver men ever made a charge or withstood the shock of battle. “Peace to his ashes.” Mayor of Camden, New York, has ordered the police to arrest all boy« caught playing ball on Sunday in tnat place. YOL. LX., NO. I*2. CbuNTiNO Chickens, &c. —Monsieur et Madame Wade must have indulged in sev eral paroxysms of teeth-gnashing wheu the result of the vote on the eleventh im peachment article showed that they were not to commence housekeeping in the White House. Correspondents tell us th&4 this amiable couple had made all their ar rangements to take possession on the Ist : of June. The Huuday night before the vote was taken Madame Wade declared that she would sleep in the White House in less than two weeks, and even went so far as to invite two of her “gossips” to dine with her on her lirst reception. On that same day she and Monsieur, her hus band, had a “tiff” over the appointment of a young man from Zanesville, Ohio, to his private secretaryship, whilst the Madame was equally decided in her prefer ence for a young nephew of her’s. Over six hundred and fifty letters, by actual count passed through the Washing ton post-office in one day—the fith inst. — superscribed for Wade and given to his messenger. It is a certified fact that Wade had, with the assistance of ids Radical supporters, nearly completed the full list of appoint ments for tiie various custom-houses and post-offices over the country. How this old ruffian must have clothed himself with a garment of ands when the vote was announced. It is really re freshing to think of. The Latest Phase of Despotism.— We find the following paragraph in the Charleston News, of the 20th. Really there seems no limit to the insolence of certain minions of military despotism. The most charitable conclusion we can reach in the case of this man, Edy, is that Nature denied him the luxury of even a thimble full of brains, or that be was drunk when he issued such an order. Military Interference.—The Chairman of the Hoard of Registration in Winusboro' having applied to the proprietors of the Winusboro’ News for advertising and job printing, was answered that the work would not be done unless paid for in cash. Thereupon the chairman applied to the Post Commandant, at Columbia. The chairman’s letter was returned with the following endorsement: Headquarters Militaet Post or Columbia, » Columbia. S. C , Muy 14,1565. / Respectfully returned to James M. Daly, Registrar. The proprietors of the Wiuns boro’ News have worse customers than the United .'tales Government. Mr. Daly aijkc * Rv order of Brevet Col. Edv. E. K. Hill, First Lt. Fifth Artillery, Post Adjutant. Honored.— The telegraph reports “Gov. Brown of Georgia” as highly honored at the Radical Chicago Convention. Hewas chosen to introduce to that body its per manent presiding officer, Ex-Gov. Haw ley, of Connecticut, one of the meanest and most malignant enemies that Geor gia and the South has, even in New Eng land. So did the British honor Arnold witli office and gold, but the gentlemen and ladies of England refused even to touch the leper’s hand, and he stood a Pariah in the midst of those who had bought The day will come when this recreant who has sold not only country, but race, will i staud abhorred even by those whose cause his treachery sought to serve. Let us see the mau who dares Sow say that this apos i tate can any longer be countenanced by the friends of Georgia and her people. Ivet us see the man who dares,with pledges and protestations of his own fidelity to Georgia, to interpose between this crim inal and the lash of a pitiless hut deserved public reprobation. He that is Brown's friend now, should not be surprised to find that many people doubt bis friend ship for Georgia. A Prominent Citizen Dead.—We res gret to learn from the Athens Wcdchman, of the 20th, the death of Col. Robert Mc- Millan, a prominent citizen of North Eas tern Georgia, which,occurred at his home in Clarksville, Habersham county, on the 6th inst. During the late civil war he was Colonel of the 24th Georgia Regiment.— Asa lawyer, aud a zealous, active Demo cratic politician, Col. McMillan wa3 widely known, and his decease will be mourned by many friends in that section of the State. A Yankee Raid.—The Elberton Ga zette, of last week, reports the doiDgs of a squad of Federal cavalry in that county, which revive the memories of Palmer and his gang in 1865. They were pre ending to hunt up and seize distilleries, but would get drunk on the whisky, and commit all kinds of outrages. Shooting at men who ran from them, abusing women, and help ing themselves out of smoke-houses and corn cribs, were the most venial of their j offences. The Press on the Verdict.—As far as ; tlie response has yet come from the ra ' tiooa) press of theeouutry, the vote on the j eleventh article of impeachment is hailed in terms which doubtless reflect the pub : lie sentiment of the honest masses of the j people. The Greenville Horror.—By later arrivals from Greenville, Miss., we have been placed in possession of additional particulars of the horrid alliay at tLui place Wednesday afternoon. According to our informant, the difficulty occurred in the yard of the Campbell House, the orig inal* parties being Major E. P. Byrne and Dr. T. G. Polk. Col. Powell Hinds inter fered to prevent a hostile collision. Dr. O. M. B auton, who had been standing near at once commenced stealthily ap proaching Hinds from the r.ar, with a large bowie knife in nis hand. Once w ith in striking distance, be suddenly plunged tlie weapon three timesintoColonel Hinds, who fell dead, with scarcely a groan. He had no sooner accomplished this horrid deed than he also approached Major Byrne in the same way. Before auy one could sufficiently recover from tlie shock produced by tlie murder of Colonel Hinds, he had thrust the knife, already dripping with gore, into Majpr Byrne's body, in flicting what it is feared will prove a mor- tal injury. As soon as the second deed was commit ted Blanton tied from the spot, but not until lie bad stabbed Captain B. G. Sims, who had made an effort to stop him. He escaped into the woods, and at lastaccouuts had not been apprehended. The assassi nations created the wildest excitement in the community, the almost unanimous voice of the people being in favor of uiete ing out summary punishment to Blanton in tlie event of bis capture. —Memphis Avalanche, May 17.
