It is customary on an occasion like this,
for the incoming man to write a salutatory
—make all sorts of wild promises. We,
(editorially speaking) shall do nothing of
the kind. The paper has been very ably
edited—we will work hard that it n av not

—it shall be Democratic to the core.

AKERMAN—IIIS PROSPECTS AND
OPPOSE RS.
The Radical papers at the North know so
little of the new Attorney-General, that
they persist in spelling his name Acker
man, whereas it. is as written above. None
of them, so far as we have seen, respond to
his nomination with any cordiality, except
the Tribune. Tne Sun sneers as follows :
Mr. Akerman belongs to that class of
men for whom Gen. Grant has a predilec
tion. lie was never heard of before, and
there is no reason why he should be in the
Cabinet unless he has privately made Gen.
Grant presents. lie adds nothing to the
political strength of the Administration,
and it is a very poor compliment to Judge
Hoar to select such a man for his place.
And the Commercial Advertiser thus:
The President has accepted the resigna
tion of Mr. Iloar as Attorney*General, and
has nominated Mr. Amos T. Akerman, of
Georgia, to the vacancy. Who Mr. Aker
man is, we cannot say. Our biographical
Dictionaries are in vain.
We givo the above clippings from the
different papers. Radical and Democratic,
in regard to the appointment of lion. Amos
T. Akerman, as Attorney Geneaal. The
Radical press condemn the appointment be-*
cause he is an obscure man and the ap
pointment would not be at all compliment
ary to Mr. Hoar, the late Attorney Gener
al. Some members of Congre.-s oppose his
appointment, because he at one time vol
unteered in the Confederate States Army.
While some of our State Democratic sheets,
who evidently know nothing of Mr. Aker
man, oppose the appointment because he is
a “third rate lawyer, etc., Each and every
objection urged against the appointment of
Mr. Akerman, seems to us to be without
foundation. We are unable to see why Mr.
Hoar should be complimented by a succes
sor, or, why the appointment ot almost any
lawyer would not be a compliment to Mr.
Iloar, if it is meant by compliment, that
his successor should have equally as much
ability. As to the objection urged by mem
bers of Congress, we can only say that the
same objection could be urged to Republi
can of any prominence in the South. There
i3 scarcely an officer in the Stato of Georgia,
who le.-dded here during the war, that did
not give aid and comfort, voluntarily to the
Confederate States. Mr. Akerman did
voluntarily give the army of the Confeder
ate States, and was in favor (after the war
began) of a separate government, but so
soon as the vrar closed he accepted the
situation, and has been perfectly true to
the principles of the Radical party ever
since. It has been remarked by those who
know him, that he is sincere in his position,
that be really “believes what he says," and
is actuated by principle. Others may be
Radicals from policy, but Mr. Akerman is
undoubtedly a Radical from principle. lie
believes in universal suffrage, and that the
right to vote implies the right t.» hold office.
Rut the most silly objection of all, is that
urged by some of our Democratic papers of
this State, which is, that lie is a “third rate
lawyer." This is simply redieulous, and
we are sorry our Democratic brothers
of the press should make such assertions.
Mr. Akerman is ranked by the bar as
among the first lawyeis in this State. It
is quite true, that he has no national repu
tation, as he has never been put in position
to give him such reputation, but he is
known in Georgia to be an excellent law
yer. We think upon this point, that the
opinion of the late Chief Justice Lumpkin,
Gen. Toombs, Col. Peeples, and others, is
worth more than the opinion of the Tele
graph and Messenger or the Atlanta Sun.
We do not know the late Attorney General,
Mr. Iloar, but do know Mr. Akerman, and
do not hesitate to say, that judging from
the written opinions of the late Attorney
General, Mr. Akerman is by far his super
ior. We hope that the President will not
be controlled by the opinions of the press
or Congress in making tn£ appointment.
The feelings and preference of ibe Presi
dent should be largely consulted in the
se ection of such an officer, and if the
President is of the proper nerve he will not
yield. This officer is selected as the legal
adviser of the President and he should be
allowed to select his own Counsel. We do
not endorse Mr. Akerman’s politics, but do
endorse him as fully competent to the task
lately assigned him by the Presiden t .
GENERAL TERRY’S SPECIAL ORDER
NO. 14.
Headers Military Dis’t of Georgia, )
Atlanta, Ga., June 14. 1870. j
Special Orders, No. 14.—Extract.
1. It having been reported to the Brevet
Major General C >mmariding the District,
tha female citizens in the employment of
contractors on the Air-Line Railroad are
worked in the cuts of said road, digging
and moving earth, and are made or permit
ted to wear metis’ clothing, while so em
ployed : It is hereby ordered that no
female convicts shail be made or permitted
to perform such labor, or shall be employed
in any work unsuited to tdeir sex.
* * * * *
By order of Brevet Major General Terry :
R. P. Hughes,
Capt. and IPvt Maj. U. 8. A.
A. D. C., and A. A. A. G.
Official :
John G. Tei.f iRd, A. D. C.
The above order from Cen’l. Terry is
severely criticised by the press of thecoun
try. Why it should be thus criticised, we
are at a loss to know. It is certainly the
most sensible and appropriate order that
has ever eminated from the General yet.
The work that female convicts were en
gaged in was entirely ur.suited to them, and
compelling them to wear mens’ clothing,
was certainly degrading and humiliating.
The object of imprisoning these people is
not to degrade and humiliate them further
than is absolutely necessary to punish them
foi their crimes and deter others from doing
likewise. The female convicts it seems to
us could be very profitably employed in
cooking, washing, &c.,for the male convicts,
and such work is suited to them. If they
could not be so employed, then the railroad
contractors should have turned them over
to the State. No woman, white or black,
was ever intended to do the work of men,
and railr ading is not only mens’ work,
but of the very heaviest character. No
humane master in the days of slavery,
ever required his negro women to do such
work. We suppose they were compelled to
dress in tneos’ clothing to prevent their
sex being known to the State authorities
and the world generally. Wc apprehend
that no such thing was ever done before.
The order of Gen. Terry was proper. We
endorse it fully.
SECOND VOLUMIToF “THE WAR BE
TWEEN TIIE STATES."
We have carefully examined the larger
portion of Mr. Stephens’ second volume of
“The War Between tire States." The book
is appropriately named, and writen fully
as well. Mr. Stephens combats the idea
successfully, that the late war was in any
sense a rebellion. It was emphatically a
war between the States, between sovereign
States, the Northern States exercising their
sovereign powers to prevent a dissolution
of the Union, and the Southern States ex
ercising their sovereign powers, to prevent
subjugation. Mr. Stephens’ book should
be owned and read by every man and wo
man in the land, both North and South. If
the Northern people would read it carefully
they would certainly become convinced of
a great many errors Lto which thev have
fallen. The distinguished author, did nut
write in the interest of any party, but gave
a fair and impartial history of the late war.
and the causes which led to it. Wherever
it was right anil proper to censure the
South or any of the statesmen, he has doDe
so without reserve, while he ha? given to
the world fully, a history of the conduct of
the Northern States which led to the war.
Northern newspapers, Northern statesmen,
and unfriendly f ireign statesmen, have at
tempted to fasten the responsibility of the
late war upon the South, hut Mr. Stephens
by the s'ern and inexorible logic of truth
and history, places the responsibility where
it properly belongs. R'nd it ye so called
statesmen and historians North, read it y n
unfriendly foreign statesmen and would he
historians, yea, read it world, and contras
diet him if you can. This great history, is
preeminently worthy of that great anu goud
man, lIofF. Alxander 11. Stephens.
Query —Why is the Thom ston Herald
so weakly edited.
Answer- Because its editor is one of
the weak-braiued sort.— Atlanta Sun.
We confess great weakness of brain,
fourth cousin Sun (as the Atlanta Sun is
too little a thing, to c’aim any nearer kin)
but we do claim to be much stronger in
that department, than any of the editors of
the Sun. As weak minded as we are, we
have never so far lost our memory as to for
get ti e name of n paper we were onee con
nected with, as we see the Sun has d< ne, by
calling us the Thnmaston Herald. When
we made a remark about the Executive Ad
vertisements in the Sun, (very tender on
that point)wbieh called forth tl eab ve from
that sheet, we did not expect or in:er.d, t' s >
far arouse the ire of the editors, as to cause
them to make a personal allusion. But
since the editor? are disposed to be some
what personal, we will make this further
remark in addition to the answer which we
made to our query last week ; that the At
lanta Sun is neutral in politics, because its
editors have no avowed principal, and hav
ing none of course could not be expected
to give any to the paper. In conclusion
we propound and answer the following
queries :
Ist Query. Why is the Atlanta Sun the
“cheafest paper in the state ?"
Answer; Because inferior “stuff" is
worth bur little, th mgh it may emanate
from the brain of a Solon.
2nd. Query. Which is the poorest Daily
and Weekly in the State.
Answer. The Atlanta Sun, beyond a
doubt. It is even worse than Swayze’s pa
per. Fur Swayze gets up a readible paper,
dirty as it is, but the Sun is perfectly in
sipid and worthless.

SPECIAL TEXAS CORRESPONDENCE
TO THE GEORGIA HERALD.
Navasi ta. Texas. June 11, 1870.
Editor Georgia Jl> raid :
Rejoiced am 1 to note chat my old friend
and tutor, has found it to his interest to be
seated in the “sanctum’’ of the Herald
office. assured my loved old tutor, the
coJurus of the llkr\ld will be read with
more interest now than before. But allow
me here to return to your predecessors my
many thanks for their kindness, and should
they ever visit the West, I shall be glad to
see them, and will endeavor to present
things a little more favorable than my old
friend and companion “A Tf'Xas M. D."
who in your last issue publishes “a cure
for Texas fever." Before going farther,
allow me to reply to a word or two set forth
in said communication. I hare read and
re-read his remedy, but even yet it is an
enigma to me, I am unable to tell whether
he is “home sick," broke, or iu love, per
haps—all, and “prehaps’’ neither, but of
one thing I am sure, he must have been
dreaming, or gently sleeping the happy
hours awny, where naught but the canopy
of heaven Covered his robust form. He has
explored the far West from Galveston to
Jefferson and Davie oounty Did our doctor
friend over g' over any other of
Texas 7 If not, he has never been in the
land of flowers. He has seen no more of
Texas than you, or any of your realers.
He has not explored as much of the far off
West as he pretends. To plant your foot
on the garden sp it of this State, y~u must
go to the West side of Brr.zos river—yes,
far from its hanks—almost on the banks of
the San Banarfi and there you will see the
finest cattle range and best farming country
the world has ever known. But this I have
spoken of lefore. I too have visited that
portion of this State lying between Galves
ton and Jefferson, and (though ashamed to
own it) visited “Davis county," while there.
I too found all the symptoms set forth by
the Doctor to be raging very furiously.
But I never saw any hemp pulled, or any
one looking up a saplin. However, this
may have been before, I visited that portion
of this S“ute. I confess vve have many out
rageous characters here, but they know
who to meddle with, and who to let alone.
(The same way it is in your State.) In
short, I have to say, if a man comes to
Texas with intentions to be industrious
and energetic, go to work and try to make
a living, he can always find a friend that
will respond to his calling in hours of dis
tress. He can make his own selection as
to associates. There is as good and refined
society here as in any older State, and
another class of more inferior, while there
is also a class which is termed “gambling,
and Spanish pony society." Two of them
I am unacquainted in, but of the other I
speak knowingly. Having visited the first
families of your State. But enough of che
Doctor, for I really think he must have
been “blowing,” yet I would suggest the
idea of not blowing so loud.
Crops were never more promising at this
season of the year. Already we have had
roasting ears and one water melon, and
know of a seventy-five acre field of cotton
that has bowls three-fourths grown, the
owner of which says he will place the first
bale of cotton in market by the 25th day of
July. Mr. Me. is a real go-ahead worker,
and will be sure to get the premium again.
We are having a very dry summer and
great deal of North wind, which I am told
will bring yellow fever, yet we shall hope
that we may be spared. Say to the Doctor
that his little city suffered severely in 1867,
and he had better return and his many
patrons might go back on him, ( 'like my gal
did on me ) *
Nothing of interest going on in Austin
that I know of, only the question of allow
ing District Judges to hold court and the
settling of the malitia question.
I shall visit Houston (meeting of the
Grand Lodge and Chapter,) during the
coming week, and if anything comes to n.y
observation that will interest your readers
I shall be more than pleased to write you.
JUSTITIA.
The American Union of the 23rd
instant, contains an extract from our re
marks of lqst week, on the doctrine of
States rights as taught by Calhoun. The
editor of the aforesaid sheet, asks us to
“Lave generalities and come down to par
ticulars," and remarks that he has seen a
“good deal of presumption in the hoozier
concern, (meaning the Herald) and desires
to see some of its ability. The above re
marks is very characteristic of the notoris
ous scoundrel who cdfis the American
Union in comparison with whom, any of
the blackest Penitentiary convicts, is ag* n
tleman. The poor contracted, perverted
miserable dirty mind of the aforesaid edi
tor, is totally incapable o ! f appreciating the
doctrine of so good a man as Calhoun, and
as we never knowingly “cast pearls before
swine," we forbear at this time to go into
particulars.
A Decided Mistake —The Atlanta Sun
of the 18th instant, has under the head of
“Consignees per Railroad," the arrivals at
the different hotels of Atlanta, and has un
der the head of “Hotel arrivals," the differ'*
ent consignments in the city. There is a
mistake somewhere. We are at a loss to
know, whether the railroad officials, the
passengers ams freights, or, the newspaper
men were drunk.
SReeent information from the big
fire in Constantinople fixes the number of
lives lost at 4,300, number of huilding de
stroyed 7,000, and the value of the proper
ty twenty-five millions of dollars. Whole
families were hemmed in and burned.
The fire was one ot the largest and most
terrible that ever happened.
CHAPTER ON CARPET-BAGGERS.
The Atlanta Era has a silly article on
this subject. Asa reply t<* the designation
given to wandering politic »1 vagabonds
from New England, who have swarmed
over the South, with carpet-bags in hand,
seeking < ffi<*e only on the score cf loyalty,
since the war, it is b°neath the aspirations
of the dullest school boy effort on a Friday
summer afternoon’s composition. It makes
one inordinately to observe with
what complacency and satistaction to him
self the editor seems to have accomplished
the wonderful intelltdu.il feat of establish
ing the fact (to his dull conception) that all
men from other Slates permanently livmg
in Georgia, are carpet-baggers. Wonder
ful conception !—sublime genius!—traus
cendant brilliancy !
It is understood by all intelligent men
that only those political adventurers, who
have come down 8 »uth solely for the pur
pose of getting office, Federal and St.ite,
without any claims upon the people of the
State, are called carpet-baggers, because
they are generally represented by no pro
perty interest among us except the “duds”
they cany in their carpet bags. In its
feeble and pitiable effort to break the force
of the epithet applied to these loyal and
strolling political wonderers and party
mendicants, the poor Era, in its impotent
disgust, says that Andrew Jackson, James
K. Polk, Jefferson Davis, Sam Houston,
Tom Benton, and ethers of lesser lights,
were carpet-baggers because they emigrat
ed from one State to another and became
political leaders and "fficQ-holders !
Andrew Jackson, J. Iv. Polk, Jefferson
Davis, Sam Houston aud Turn Benton were
all permanent residents and respectable
c dz*ns in the several States in wbioh th-y
resided and represented in national affair-.
The poor Era even comes down to Joe
Brown, and soys he is a carpet bagger. As
bad a man as Jue is, we think he ought to
resent the insult. He has been a perma
nent citizen of Georgia for over twenty
years, and is in no sense a carpet bagger.
Nor is Dr. Angier, who has been for nearly
the same leng h of time also a citizen of
Georgia. Neither is Gen. Austell a carpet
bagger, but an old citizen of the S'ate.
No, Era, you cannot avert the epithet
from the soft and devoted heads of your
loyal, tramping f; iends from New England,
who come out here as journeymen office
seekers—as lousy a set of “cusses” as ever
disgraced official position. —LaGraiuje Re
porter.
WASHINGTON TELEGRAMS OF JUNE
23 RD.
Akerman was to day confirmed as Attor*.
ney General without objection or debate.
The Georgia bill was called up and sevi«
eral amendments offered. It was agreed
that the previous question be seconded at
2 o'clock tomorrow —Friday.
Sumner, chairman of the Senate commit
tee on foreign affairs reports a long series
of resolutions on the Cuba question. The
evident meaning of which is, to interfere in
the Cuban troubles and free the slaves.
Swayze comes to the defense of Hon.
William Guilford (col.) very gallanty after
William by let’er, an I we by an editorial
remark had corrected the slanderous report
about him. Swayze has been kicked out of
the society of the decei t Macon negroes,
and endeavors now to pave the way to as
sociation with the prominent negroes else
where. But we think he will tail in his
efforts at William. If we are not mistaken
very n?uch in the character of the Hon.
William Guilford (col.) he has too much
self respect to associate with Swayze, or to
allow the aforesaid editor to become at all
familiar with him.
Delmonico. —The suicide ot this bene
factor of his race will surprise all who ever
enjoyed a dinner at his famous establish
ment. He was a remarkable man in many
respects. By his industry, tact and taste
in gastronomic matters, he had risen from
_an humble position to be an authority on
victuals and an autocratic connoisseur of
wines. The art of cookery he dignified
into a science, and his combinations of eat
ables were curiosities of the appetizing.
To please a hungry man was a gratification,
but to beguile one v. ho was not in hungry
into a hearty meal, by the force of cookery,
was his delight and triumph. Delmonico
knew how to take a dull appetite and so
sharpen it, by the way in which he tickled
the palate, first with one delicacy and then
another, forming, as it were, a succession
of food-grindstones, that his guest wonder
ed as much at his skill and discrimination
in the concoction of dishes as he did at his
own capacity for eating. If ever a man
deserved a monument it is this prince of
caterers. He found the way to everybody’s
heart through their stomachs, and always
knew what the world thought of him when
his champagne (which, like all good wine,
needed no bush) was opened. So, peace to
his ashes, mortal and culinary. Epitaph :
Here lies Delmonico. Food makes the
man. In vino veritas. lie was a good
provider.
“Monia.” —Father Ryan, the gifted
young Catholic pHest w ho wrote that beaus
tiful poem “the C mquested Banner” and
others of rare poetic merit, is to make Mo
bile h ; 8 future home, having been received
into the diocese by the Rev. Bishop Quintl.
Previous to going to Mobile, however, it is
his intention to visit Europe. He will be
warmly welcomed in England, where his
genius as a poet was so gracefully recog
nized, especially by Sir Ilenry de Hough*
ton (who lost a million of dollars in the
Confederate loan, and says he does not re
gret it), in a poem which went tha rounds
of the press entitled “A Reply to the Con
qured Banner.” Father Ryan is, perhaps,
one of the most popular divines in the
South, and is quite as eloquent in his pri
vate life, as stirring in his verse.
Governor Warmouth has appointed
General Longstreet Adjutant General of the
Louisiana militia.
OBITUARY—On the evening of the ISth, Mrs.
Martha Daniel died at her residence in Talbot county
She had been suffering for months with organic disease
of the heart, an.l in a moment was snatched into eterni
ty. She left many warm, near, and dear friends to mourn
over her soddden exit, and strew her grave with tear
wet garlands of tenderest bloom. She possessed all es
those qualities, which in the most comprehensive mean
ing of the term, constituted the accomplished and per
fect christain lady. Had she any faults, they were con
sumed in the blaze of her virtues. Honesty of pur
pose and goodness of intention, magnanimity of 60ul
and grandeur of conception, were the brightest and most
attractive jewels which sparkled in the lovely diadem
that crowned her life. In a word, she was a perfect para
gon of perfection and excellence, and when the Messenger
of Death stamped his icy signet upon her fair brow, she
fell, the fairest, and the purest, the loveliest and the
most noble victim before Death’s desolating tread.
OBITUARY —Died on ihe 16th of May, 1967, at the
resideoce of the Hon. J W. Greene, of Up-on county,
C. II Coßßts, son of C. H. and M V. Corbin, aged i years
-10 months, and 17 days. In him parental hearts weep
over their first-born, and bewail the loss of a child
whose early dawn oi intellect excited lively interest
and gave rich promise in the future. Bit death, which
spares not “the tender plant no more than the bearded
g-ain ” plucked him as a flower from the parent stem,
ere., he had fully budded into life. An obituary may
not present io the fond hearts of the parents a faithful
and living refiex of the beloved child they have lost
but it may serve as an urn to enshrine the m mory of
him, whose early and sudden death they must dt p y
deplore through all of lift’s checkered scenes down to
its latest verge Let the parents tenderly cherish the
memory ol the departed little one, but let them be
comforted in their bereavement, that it is Divinely
written. “Os ueh is the kingdom of Heaven,” an.l as
the good Shepherd of the flock, Christ, carries the tender
lambs of the fold in His bosom. A FRIEND.
