In his Auburn speech, the Secretary of'
State used the following language: “The

human affairs.”

meaningless or unguarded expressions; and

deadly hostility was, indeed,
consummation that outran expectation, ’and
found no parallel in the history of nations.--
It was a wonderful result, and as unexpected
nnd, astonishing, perhaps, to Southerners as
to any others on earth; and from what did it
arise? It arose from the fact that when
overcome, the South was led to believe by
the great war Generals of the Federal power,
and by the President himself, that- leniency
and magnanimity were to be the order of the
day ; that having fought to restore the Union
nothing would be morc agreeable to the
North than for us to agree peaceably, quiet
ly aud quickly to return to the Union;
that, having fought to restore the
supremacy of the National laws,
the restoration of peace, amity, good will,
commerce, and unrestricted friendly inter
course, nothing would more pleasurably coin
cide with the wishes of the entire North
than for us to yield an unhesitating assent in
all those matters.. And the consequence was
that we did all, and morc than all, that was
required of us, and wc did it in sincerity aud
good faith. We desired to return to the
Union, and be as thoroughly “loyal," in a
national tense, as any in the broad bounds of
the country; and it should at least be con
ceded to us that we knew “what wc meant
and what we intended. But hear, now, what
the reconstruction committee, in its recent
report, says on this point, tertut Air. Seward:
“The conciliatory measures of the govern
ment do not seem to have been met even
half-way. The bitterness and defiance ex
hibited towards, the United S'at is, under
such circumstances, is without a parallel in
the history of the world.”
Now, which statement conveys the truth ?
Most undoubtedly that of Air. Seward. The
statement ot the committee is the direct con
verse of the truth. It was the “conciliatory
measures” of the President that disarmed
the South of its animosity, and paved the
way to the wonderful spirit of acquiescence
on the part of tho South, ns manifested in
the acts of her conventions and legislatures.
The statement that a spirit of ‘'bitterness
and defiance” has been exhibited toward the
United States is false. Toward the Uuited
States, as represented by its Government, the
South has exliibitcd'a wonderful degree of
acquiescence,' concession, good-will and res
pect; but toward some malevolent spirits in
the North, whose delight it was to malign
and misrepresent the South-—to a radical
majority in Congress who would destroy ev
ery vestige of our liberties, nnd even over
throw the free government of our fathers—
we have felt some bitterness, and, ]>crhaps,
manifested it. But this has not been done
toward the United States as a government
nor toward them as a people. We have en
dcavored in the midst of calamity nnd re
verses, to preserve onr self-respect, and to
in maintain an appearanco of manliness. We
understood the depth of our misfortunes, and
accepted them; bnt in the midst of them we
sought to avoid the humiliation of being
wanting to ourselves by the manifestation
of a spirit utterly craven and devoid
of every aspect of self-respect The South
has not exhibited a contumacious spirit; it
has not assumed the mask of hypocrisy; it
has not maintained a defiant and bitter tem
per; but, on the contrary, it has songht for
peace, and union, and harmony, in accord
ance with the very desires of those who, at
the North and in the West, profess to be
seeking the same ends.
Air. Seward, then, is right, and the Com
mittee is wrong; and if years of bitterness
aud rancor arc yet to mark the tone of Amer
ican politics, rankle in the bosom of Southern
men, and mar the prospects of this land
that might be so great, glorious and happy,
it will all be owing to the prejudices of that
same Reconstruction Committee.

DOTS 1JV THE WAYSIDE.
This is a very cool, wintry-like morning for
this climate. We cannot divine the cause un.
less an undue quantity of hailstones have
fallen in this immediate vicinity. We have
seen no mcteorlogical phenomenon resembling |
a planet or wandering comet, like tbe one so
much dreaded in 1857, about which the ex
quisite New England dishwater power, yclept
Oliver Wendell llolmea, indited so many use
less rhymes. There is nothing of all this, yet
in these strange times we are prepared for all
changes and' conflicts of seasons.
This portion of Southwestern Georgia has
almost become Arcadian, from the demorali
sation of the war, and the flighty metamor
phose of excellent Confederate (so-called) rule
into absolute military misrule. Again, our
esteemed Brigadier General was so confident
that a few short miles inf iron-rail would save
the Confederacy, that no tears or entreaties
could save tlic Fort Gaines branch, so w
have been cut off from communication witii
the busy scenes ot life for the past eighteen
months. But, never mind, Virgil Powers,
Esq., is relaying the track, and ere long our
citizens will hear the whistle of the locomo
tive again.
The Spring term of Clay Superior Court
has just closed. Judge John T. Clark, of
Stewart, was in attendance, and by his excel
lent method of presiding, and his affability to
the members of the bar, a very agreeable time
was spent in the temple of Thesuis.
If you can call our “Old College” a temple,
then Alinerva would never have unyoked her
steeds of war in Fort Gaines, nor rested her
spear and hung up tbe palladium in the de
serted corridors of our bleak old mansion.
But, tlinnks to tho kindness of our Inferior
Court,*we shall.be permitted to hold our
Courts in the “Old College” for years to come.
But to return to our Superior Court: Be
sides our own intelligent bar, several gentle
men of the Toga eirilis were in attendance
from other places. Not to worry your read
ers with a dull abstract of attachments, as
sumpsits, claims, injunctions, etc., let us tell
you wo had an interesting time of it. Flease
excuse ns if we speak kindly of our friend
Judge Clark. He is a man of strict integri
ty, well educated, a well informed lawyer
and impartial Judge. His charges are lucid,
short and always intelligible. His language
is chaste, plain and classical, and his general
deportment agreeable to the most simple and
yet to the most fastidious. He is a candidate
for re-election in the Pataula Circuit, and bids
fair to win the race. Not speaking dispara
gingly of his competitors, we deem him bet
ter qualified for the position than auy man in
the Circuit. Our feeble vote shall add one to
the long list that will be rolled up for Judge
Clark next January. Reader, go and do like
wise, and let us reward a good public ser
vant who needs your suffrage.
The state of the country at this time might
demand a passing tribute from your corres
pondent, but it has been nearly five years
since our feeble pen has been dipped in ink
editorial. So many changes have come over
us that the metamorphose is too great; wc
cannot recognize the picture. But if life is
spared and our mails do not fail us, you may
expect to hear from us soon upon those
points, in plain English and good gram&tical
style. A word in your cars, Alessrs. Editors:
We do not like the Bill Arpiant or Major
J ones style. We do not choose to muddy the
pools of literature by corrupting orthogra
phy. No disrespect to friends Smith and
Thomson.
O. W. Cone (“Gns”) is no more. He had
hut a few months since entered upan the du
ties of Sheriff of this county, the duties of
which he was discharging faithfully. At the
instance of S. A. AIcLcndon, Esq., agent of
the frecdmen’8 bureau, he visited one of the
neighboring plantations to correct some of
the misdeeds of one or morc of the negroes.
An obstreperous African, who would not
heed to the commands of the sheriff, for a
slight commencement of compulsion on the
part ot the lamented, but resolute Cone, at-,
tacked him with brntal and murderous in
tent, and having thrown him to the ground,
violently thrust a case knife, ground to a
point, into his body, inflicting several dan
gerous wounds which resulted in dentil.—
Coue was a clever, good man. Haring been
born and raised in this place, lie leaves many
warm friends to forget his foibles and remem
ber his merits. Wc are not aware that any
blame is attached to S. A. ArcLendon, as Air.
Cone had frequently assisted him in punish
ing refractory negroes. It seems to have been
one of those unavoidable accidents that will
happen in despite of tuc utmost precaution,
AIcLcndon is a good agent, and as far as wc
know, has given general satisfaction to our
citizens and to his superior officers.
We scarcely know how to speak of the
crops, not having had time to visit the coun
try, but we can say of a verity, that the
dronth has not hurt our fanners nor have the
freedmen fatigued themselves by over exer
tion.
Next Saturday the Masons expect to have
a good time of it. “Our noble, grave and
potent friend,” Dr. Wm. J. Johnson is our
orator selected for tbo occasion. Come and
hear him. He will interest you by boric of
his “wise saws and modern instances,” but
oh! do not think him yet in the “lean and
slippered pantaloon,” bnt with “good round
belly with capon lined” lie bids fair to puff
drafts from his mersebaum, and laugh over
tales of yore, for twenty years yet.
Yours until next week,

Jefferson Davit.
From the New York World.
The treatment of Mr. Davis at Fortress
Alonroe, as detailed in tbe new book by the
surgeon on duty at that pos», will be a topic
of censure on the other side of the Atlantic,
and wherever, on this side, the sentiment of
humanity to the fallen is accompanied by
moral courage. If, in this long confinement,
there had been no violation of the ordinary
decencies of a detention previous to trial,
there would still be just grounds of complaint.
These were so cogently presented by the Tri
bune in connection with the question of bail,
that we will make no attempt to fortify them,
deeming it more seasonable, at present, to
restrict our remarks to the “secrets of the
prison-house,” unfolded in Doctor Craven’s
book.
The legality of Air. Davis’ confinement is
obviouslv a distinct question from the legality
of tbe persistent tortures inflicted on him.
Detention in custody is a means of securing
a prisoner until a court can pass upon his
guilt. Any severity or torment not required
for his safe-keeping, is not only unauthorized
by law, but is a usurpation of the functions
of the jury and court. It assumes his guilt;
but if guilt may be assumed beforehand, the
trial is a mockery. It determines the nature
of his punishment; but the punishment of
all crimes is fixed by the law, it must be de
clared, in each particular case, by the sentence
of a judge, and can be inflicted only after the
sentence.
There is only one theory on which tho tor
tures inflicted on Air. Davis can by any possi
bility be justified; and that is a theory which
has only a seeming application to his case.—
It may be claimed, and, in point of fact, is
claimed, that AH. Davis is a prisoner of war.
It is not denied that there may lie cases in
which prisoners of war may lie subjected to
torture, under the law of retaliation. If,
while a war is still pending, wanton suffering
is inflicted on prisoners by one side, the other
may retaliate in kind as a means of putting a
stop to such barbarity. But the torture ot
Air. Davis for tiie sufferings of onr prisoners
at Andcrsonville, does not come under that
rule. Retaliation, in war, is oftener threat
ened than put in practice; the humanity of
the threatenor generally revolting against the
execution of his threat. It is never inflicted
as a punishment, but only as a means of pre
vention. If our government had judged re
taliation proper, the time for resorting to it
was while our prisoners were in rebel hands, to
procur a mitigation of their miseries. Retali
ation after their release, is only so much wan
ton crnelty, since it can have none of the pre
ventive effect which alone justifies retaliation.
It is as absurd and atrocious to retaliate
on Jefferson Davis the sufferings of the Union
prisoners at Adersonville, as it. would have
been in the British government to have tor
tured Napoleon Bonaparte for his treatment
of British prisoners. That illustrious captive
complained, and French historians have never
ceased to repeat the complaints, of the usage
he received at St. Helena. But it differed
from what Air. Davis has experienced at
Fortress Monroe, as a sick chamber differs
from a pest house, or as a modern excomrau
nication differs from the Spanish Inquisition.
The general spirit in which the British gov
ernment professed to act may lie gathered
from the following official directions of
Lord Bathurst: “In committing
important a trust to British officers, the
Prince Regent is sensible that it is not
necessary,” [note tlii9 expression, “not neces
sary,” a clear implication that the ordinary
principles of soldierly honor sufficed to pre
vent harsh treatment of the prostrate ; of
which examples may be found in Grant’s
terms to Lee, Sherman’s to Johnston, and the
whole military life ot General Scott,] “not
necessary to impress upon them his anxious
desire that no greater measure of severity, in
respect to confinement or restriction, be im-
>osed than what is deemed necessary for the
: aitliful discharge of that duty which the
Admiral, as well as the Governor of St. Hele
na, must ever keep in mind—the perfect se
curity of General Bonaparte’s person. What
ever, consistent with this great object, can be
allowed in the shape of indulgence, His Royal
Highness is confident will willingly be shown
to the General.”

COTTON.—The rereipU and sales of cotton fSr the
past week hare been very light, while shipping hits
to compose their disputes by negotiation be-1 been constant, thougi in hmU quantities,
tween themselves, or to resort to the final ar
bitrament of war. We can only hope that
the former counsel will prevail,’ but every
thing niU9t now be done by the powers
themselves, for the functions of the neutral
States are at an end. The decision ot the
Austrian Emperor will be termed by his ad
mirers, firmness 1 by his enemies, perversity.
Wchave no desire to judge harshly a sover-1
eign who has certainly received much provo
cation, but it is to be regretted that Austria
should, for the second time within seven years, |
seem to be the cause of a European war. The
error of her policy will be proved by the
temper in which her foes will leceive the
uews that she has strangled the Conference.
Wherever there is one who wishes her ill,
whether it bo in the conclaves of Prussian |
politicians, in the public places of the Italian
cities, or in the households of her disaffected j
provinces, there will be joy when it is told
that meditation is at an end, and that on Aus- j
tria tlic blame is made to rest. If the Em
peror had detained an agent of Count Bis-
mark as his adviser, he could not more effect
ually have served the policy of his oppo
nents.

Tall Cotton—Sumter Ahead !—Mr. P.
U. Oliver, of this county, Los sent to our office
two stalks of cotton, measuring three feet and
five inches in height, aud containing sixty-
seven bolls and squares. This is an average
of his entire crop for several hundred acres.
If there is a county in this State that can
beat this, wc would like to hear from it.—

^gF"A New Haven company has commenced
manulacturing a compressed stone for build
ing purposes. It is made of sand, pulverized
quartz and silicate of soda, and hardens from
the consistency of putty, in twenty-four
hour-, to the solidity of stone.
Mr. Davis is regarded as less a monster, by
our people, than Napoleon was by tlic Eng
lish, during the greater part of his career.—
The massacre at Jaffa, the murder of the
Duke D’Enghien. and other atrocities charg
ed upon Napoleon, have no parallel in any
thing ever done by Mr. Davis, who, in the
character of a belligerent, committed no
crimes, any farther than that the war itself
was a crime. His mistake, and that of his
confederates, was in supposing that the alle
giance they owed to their States was superior
to the allegiance due the Federal government.
If this doctrine were true, it would absolve
them from guilt. That they believed it true,
nobody doubts ; and though this belief re
pairs no mischief, it should mitigate the usu
al condemnation pronounced upon men who
were rather deluded than intentionally dis
loyal.
But when wc come round to this question
of disloyalty, it is apparent that if Mr. Davis
is field as a traitor, retaliatory torture canuot
be inflicted on him as a prisoner of war, even
if belligerency had not ended, or even if ret
rospective vengeance were one of the rights
of war. As a traitor, he has the right of eve
ry criminal—the right to a speedy and impar
tial trial, and to exemption from any punish
ment but detention till alter a judicial sen
tence. To pretend that tho tortures and in
dignities inflicted on Mr. Davis were necessa
ry to prevent his escape, is preposterous. Did
Stanton suppose a broken old mail would
gnaw through massive stone walls and heavy
iron grates with his teeth, that he thought it
necessary to chain him ? The impression
made by Dr. Craven’s book abroad will be
very unfavorable to our optional character,
and will be almost as unjust as unfavorable,
since what is discreditable in its contents was
the work of the single base mind at the bead
of the War Department.
The Right Spirit.—At a meeting held
by tho colored people of Marion. Ala., on the
31st ult, at the Baptist Church, for the pur
pose of considering the question of educating
their children, and responding to a
meeting previously held by the white citizens,
at the Presbyterian Church, the following reso
lutions were adopted. The Marion Common
wealth says they manifest the feeling existing
between the two races in Perry county—for
merly one of the most populous in slaves in
tho State—and we doubt not the resolutions
are but the honest expression of the freedmen
throughout the State, where such an expres
sion is uninfluenced l>y bad anil interested
characters. Wo commend the resolutions,
which arc as follows:
Whereas, The white citizens of this com
munity, our former masters, have by a scries
of resolutions, expressed their approbation of
our feeble attempts made for tiie education
ot our children, and also their willingness to
extend a helping hand to us.
Resolved, That while wc cannot but rejoice
at our liberation from slavery, we hold none
but the most pleasant feelings toward our
owners, and rejoice that a feeling of kind
ness and willingness to help us is manifested
by them.
Resolved, That as we believe we must
remain a part of the population of this coun
try, it is incumbent upon us to cultivate kind
ly relations between white and colored, and
that it is also an imperative duty laid upon
us to cultivate our minds and to educate our
children.
Resolved, That a committee of seven be
appointed to confer with the gentlemen of
the other committee, and perfect such arrange
ments as they believe will make for tho im
provement of our race, and that we pledge
ourselves to support them with all the means
in our power.

THE NEWS IN ITALY.
[Florence Telegram (June 5) London Times.]
The negotiations for a conference have
failed, and all probability of its assembling
has therefore disappeared.
The statement of the Memorial Diplomatique
that Italy, in replying to the invitation for a
conference, had proposed that the conference
should deliberate on the means for securing
and consolidating the kingdom of Italy, is
officially declared to be entirely unfounded.
Italy, it is added, is able to secure her own
safety, and her national unity does not re
quire consideration.
Preparations for War in France.
CONCENTRATING THE FRENCH NAVAL FORCES
—REGIMENTS 6ENT TO THE ALPS.
[Paris (June 5) Telegram London Times.]
Admiral Simon, who commands the French
squadron in the Levant, has received orders
to concentrate the ships stationed at Smyrna,
in the Archipelago, and at the Piraus, and
to cruise off the coast of the Ionion Islands
and at tho entrance of the Adriatic.
It is stat' d that several regiments have
started to garrison the frontiers^ot the Alps.
Some regiments from Algieria, and which
for some months have been stationed in the
south ofFrance, in particular, two regiments
of Chasseurs d’Afrique, have been despatched
by rapid marches to the northern frontier;
one cf these regiments had started from Car-
cassonc for Maubegc.
The rumors of a Frencli loan have been re
vived.

Medical Association of Georgia.
This body re-nssenibled at the City Hall
yesterday morning.
Dr. Banks, of Griffin, former President of
tbe Association, delivered, as an officer, his
parting address, which was highly apprecia
ted and by resolution ordered to bp printed.
The newly elected President, Dr. Alex.
Means, was* introduced, and addressed the
Association in that eloquent strain peculiar to
himself, after which the morning session
closed.
At three o’clock the Association re-assem
bled at the Central Presbyterian Church.
An important resolution was introduced by
Dr. Habersham, of Savannah, looking to the
refusal of the Association to receive in future
as members those who have not graduated at
a legitimate School of Medicine. After much
discussion, the question was postponed until
the next meeting, with a view to obtaining a
morc extended sense of the profession at
large.
An appropriate and extemporaneous ad
dress was delivered by Dr. Briggs, of West
Point, in which that ’gentleman took occa
sion to warn the profession against the en
croachments of isms and schisms. His re
marks met the hearty approval of all present.
A committee was appointed to memorial
ize the Legislature in regard to the registra
tion of births .:ud death* in this State.
The President, Dr. Means, delivered a very
happy closing address, and one in every way
worthy the heart and head of that great and
good man.
The Association then adjourned to meet in
Griffin, Georgia, on the ’2d Wednesday in
April next.—Atlanta Intel., 23d.
