real name of the writer; it consequently goea
unread tinder the table.
f+y- We are again under obligations to
the Nation:.! Express Company for newspa
pers in advance of the mail.
AtiRESTKib—Janies W. Kearney, who kill
ed Ool. John D. Ashton in Savannah, some
.lays ago, has been arrested and committed
to Chatham county jail.
Okn. Taylor.—It is hardly necessary for
us to guard any reader who is at all acquain
ted with Gen. Dick Taylar, against crediting
the report that connects his name with the
Fenian movement against Canada.
Second District.—We learn from parties
who were at Americas daring the setting of
the District Convention, that the ticket for
the State-at-large, named by the Fourth Dis
trict Convention, was confirmed. The Third
District Convention only remains to be heard
from. It met on Wednesday, atLaGrange,
and why our Atlanta contemporaries have
given no account of its action we are at a loss
to conjecture.
There was no meeting of delegates in this
city yesterday in accordance with the proposi
lion from the Seventh District; so the only
way of now determining on the delegates-at-
lorgc—except Mr. Stevens and Gov. Johnson,
who have received the votes of every Con
rention heard from—is by the voice of a
majority of the Districts as recently expressed.
INDIAN SPRINGS.
It is a blessing to Georgia that she has, in
her boundaries, such a valuable Spring as tbe
little fount that issues from tbe solid granite
rock in Butts county. Precisely the remedy
for the usual summer complaints of our cli
mate is here afforded by Nature, as though
she foresaw the remedy made and provided
it Ail bilious complaints are at once remov
ed by this water in magical manner, toritacts
upon the liver and biliary ducts, ridding the
system ot surplus bile, improving tbe diges
tion, removing the dull headache so common
to bilious temperaments, and rendering the
skin clearer, the step elastic and the spirits bu
oyant, as though acted upon by a charm. The
man who could scarcely cat, and was half
sick all the time, finds his appetite ravenous,
and that he is not injured by eating as much
as he desires; and all his indisposition vanish
es, fullness iii the head disappears, and he feels
like a new man. He enjoys life to the full,
sleeps gloriously during the cool nights which
the Indian Springs boasts while other places
are sweltering, and feels like forever throw
ing physic to the dogs.
But the Indian Springs are good for van
ous diseases: dysentery, jaundice, kidney af
fections and general debility all yield to its
inavellous powers. We only write what we
Ivtote, in all tbe above.
We regret that a Railroad does not run to
these Springs; but comfortable hacks do
carry travelers to and from Forsyth.
It is a consolation that, while there are sev
oral excellent houses of entertainment there,
and therefore room for all, such a hotel as B.
W. Collier keeps is open for visitors. Mr.
Collier is a prince among landlords, and has
the reputation of keeping a superb table,
which wc can vouch for, from experience.
His rooms are always cool and neat; and in
valids especially receive the kindest attention.
We heartily recommend our readers to make
up their minds, at this hot, sultry, and sickly
reason, to take a trip to the Springs. That
water is better than medicine; and besides
it wards off attacks as well as cures them
We arc happy to announce that there is not
a particle ot truth in the rumor that the
small pox, or any thing like it, is at the
Springs. This statement may be relied on
by all who contemplate a trip to these health-
giving waters; and. reader, what better place
‘can yon go to, to avoid chills and fever, or
bilious attacks ? None.
Proclamation by James Steven*
James Stevens, the chief organizer of the
Irish Republican Brotherhood, issued the
.following important address last night:'
Fenian Brotherhood, 1
Central Office, July 30,1860. J
Brothers—The Fenian Brotherhood, an
auxiliary branch of the actual home organi
zation, and subordinate to that organization,
lias and had for its object and duty direct as
sistance to Ireland. Worked in strict accord
ance with this, its sole legitimate, aim, the
Fenian Brotherhood will be of service to our
cause, but it must be mischievous, and might
be laig with ruin, if otherwise used. Docs not
tho inflexible logic of facts, known to you all,
speak truropet-tongued in confirmation of
tbia truth t True, when applied to any peri
od of the organization at present, this truth
has jiecuiiar force and significance. For.the
day for which we have yearned and toiled
through many years, is imminent and inevi
table on tills vital point, let no man be mis
taken, or try and cloak his motives and aims
in a stimulated scepticism. Wc fight for
freedom on Irish soil this vpry year. Mind,
it is no longer a question of ‘'battleor disso
lution.” I repeat, the 0190 at home have re
moved to fight this year, and fight they will.
Under such circumstances a solemn and glori
ous duty devolve* on you. I will not ask are
you willing to fulfil this duty and redeem the
name of Irishmen on this Continent, being
every day more and more convinced that you
are not only willing but determined to do so.
You will not again allow yourself to be mis
led by false lights held forth to allure you
from duty and Ireland. The Straight road,
in our case, is the true one home. Irish free
dom must l>c won on Irish soil. You will not
look for aid to any Government till we at
liotne are up in arms. Even then you will not
expect more from any Government thau re
cognition as a belligerent. This will be am
ply sufficient for onr purposes, and this once,
wo are holding our own, shall be at once re
corded. Could Republican America do less
ior us than monarchal England. so readily
does for all the world < Assuredly not. And
we look for no more, freely aa our blood lias
down for these States. But if you hold your
selves of all Governments, how much more
so must von be a dependent of mere party.—
Our cause is too sacred lor the politician. You
Icel this, and you know him from sad and
bitteroxpericnce. Therefore. I need not warn
you against those who. in the name of this
lurtyor that, and on the strength of cloudy
promises, would gain your votes for the com
ing citation. Thus to be won ia blindly to
be sold. You are not blind now; aud so
when a man of life-long indifference to Ire
land, or of years of hostility to the present
movement tor her freedom, becomes sudden
ly enamored of our cause, you can fully est i
mate his sincerity. Our work is for Ireland,
and not for the politician. I Us hottest sym
pathy would freeze the Irish heart Give
him your support, and he stubs your country.
The Fenian Brotherhood recognises no party,
-nr) must hr nind hr none. Therefore, I ex-
ami must be osod by none,
pact, and Ireland expects, that no true patriot
i_no member of the Fenian Brotherhood—
will lend himself officially, or allow biniselt to
I Hcially used. It is my duty to add that
any officer'who so lowers himself, or who
wmi ! trv 10 lower the dignity and crlectivc-
v'lV,,four onior, shall beat once removed
f rom office. , ..
Faithfully and fraternally yours,

Some of the Work of tbe I.ait Hour- <if Congress
—Project to take from the States tbe Powrrto
Grant Railroad Charters—0<lU>m Feitarea or the
Army BUI—Significance of tbe Negro Blot at
at New Orleans.
"Washington', August Id, 1S66.
Congress adjourned last Saturday attemoon,
after a continuous session of nearly thirty
hours. Both houses of Congress remained
in session daring the whole of Friday night,
and the greater part of Friday and Saturday,
without affording the members any time to
sleep, and only a few brief intermissions.
Tho effect of this upon the nerves of the
members may be well imagined. After tbe
first fifteen hours, few of the members were
ia a condition to do business. Many were
asleep in the scats, or sprawled ont on the
solas and even on the floor; and few of them
who were awake, were aware of what they
were doing. It is safe to say, that not one-
fourth of those who voted for any measure,
after 2 A. 31., on Saturday, knew what they
were voting for, or how they voted. 3Iany
members, as many os three dozen, certainly,
voted on both sides of several questions, and
the Speaker never interfered. Of course,
daring the last thirty hours, a vast amount of
. “legislation” was transacted.
Among the bills which pasted the House,
but failed to pass the Senate, was one provid
ing for building a new railroad between
Washington and New York. There is not
the least need of a new railroad, os the pres
ent facilities for travel between tho two cities
are ample. Tho project is a pet one of Thad-
deus Stevens, and of other iron men and
high tariff men ot Pennsylvania, and is simp
ly a speculation of theirs to make large sums
of money.
The idea that no railroad of this kind can
be built without the aid ot tbe General Gov
ernment, is a most pernicious one; and if it
is not crashed ont and frowned down at once,
it will yet cause untold evils to the country.
Nobody ever heard, before, that it was neces
sary to get the consent of the United States
Government before a railroad could be built.
Evciy one of the nine hundred railroads in
the country has been built by private enter
prise and private capital, under charters from
the respective States. This project is only
another step on tho part of the Radicals to
take away powers from the States, to reduce
the States to mere ciphers aud t«> vest in tbe
general government the power to do every
thing, great and small; to regulate marriages
between white people; to marry hundreds of
negroes at a time; to interfere with the in
ternal concerns and domestic affairs of the
States; to establish national bureaus of edu
cation, national bureaus of insurance, and
national bureaus to wet-nurse 3Iexican Re
publics and nigger babies. The whole thing
ought to be ridiculed as it deserves, frowned
down, and crushed out. The rights and
sovereignties of tbe States ought to be clearly
set forth, and firmly maintained. If this is
not done, the general government will swal
low up all the powers of the States, and the
lattcrmight as well be obliterated.
The army bill, which was passed by both
Houses of Congress in the last hours of t!
session, provides for six regiments of negroes,
as a permanent feature of the United States
Army; and for four regiments of sickly>
broken-down, mis-called “veterans,” who are
not veterans at all, but, for the most part,
very young men with shattered constitutions,
who know very little of the duties of
soldiers, most of whom were disabled by
camp disease a few days after their term of
service had he*rtn», «n<i «iin Lava p»w>i near
ly the whole of their term of service in the
hospitals. When this stuperdous humbug
of the veteran reserves was first started, the
men were called the invalid corps, which
was a for more truthful and appropriate des
ignation, as they were all invalids. At
later period, their designation was changed
to veteran reserves. But you cannot make a
veteran ont of an invalid, particularly when
the latter is a raw recruit, fresh from the
shoemaker's bench, the plow, the anvil, or
tbe yard-stick, and has only seen a few weeks'
service.
Two of the negro regiments are to be caval
ry; the remaining four infantry; and this in
the face of what has just happened in New
Orleans.
Including the above, the bill provides for
fifty regiments of infantry, ten regiments of
cavalry, and five regiments ot artillery; the
regiments, including officers, to consist of
about 600 men, although authority is given to
the President to raise the numerical strength
of each regiment to about eleven hundred
men. The numerical strength of the army,
under the bill, cannot be less than 40,000
men, and it may be raised by the President,
to 70,000.
As regards the negro regiments, nothing
could be more injudicious than to perpetuate
such a thing as negro troops in the regular
army. That man must be blind, indeed, who
does not sec that wc are rapidly approaching
a war of races, instigated by the cold-blooded
villians at the North, who arc determined
that the work of mossacrcing the Southern
people, which they did not finish during the
war, because 44 the war ended two years too
soon,” shall be continued and finished >y the
negroes at the South. Unless prompt meas
ures are taken to suppress it, it will be con
tinued.
When it was proposed, some months ago,
to withdrew the troops from the Southern
States, it was urged, in defence of the policy
of keeping them there, that they were needed
in order to prevent riots and civil tumults,
such as that which has just taken place at
New Orleans. This of course was a mere pre
text, and’the affair at New Orleans shows it
to have been so. The President has already
given orders for a rigid investigation of that
deplorable occurrence, and your readers may
depend upon it, the guilty parties will be
sought out and severely punished. It ap
pears, at present, that the persons upon whom
the whole blame rests are, first, the parties
instrumental in netting up the meeting of the

Radical Convention: and second, Gen. Baird
Trustworthy evidence has already reached
here, showing that 3Iayor 3Iunroe clearly
foresaw what tho result of the meeting of the
Convention would be, and applied to Gen.
Baird for the military to be or. the spot in
order to prevent the outbreak. If the latter
had done bis duty tho scenes of bloodshed
that followed would not have taken place.—
There is every reason 10 beliere that Gen.
Baird, acting under instructions from the
Radicals here, purposely retain id j r om hav
ing any military force ontbe ground, in 01J
der to precipitate and bring on a conflict be
tween the white people ned the negroes, and
in order that the blame of the riot may be
thrown upon the former. Gen. Sheridan’was
warned on the subject some west's ago, and
enjoined to be vigilant in taking measures to
prevent tumults of this kind. Instead of
obeying his orders and attending to bis busi
ness he is off at Mat.imoras plotting with the
3Iexican bandits there, and concocting
schemes which arc calculated to embroil the
country in a foreign war.

strange that no experiment "of the kind we
are now trying has ever succeeded. There
have been, and yet are, rightfully we do not
say, but actually, nevertheless, the intrinsic
differences hitherto between the two races,
which statesmen, and particularly those in
charge of our government, are not at liberty
to disregard. It is the full knowledge of
these, and of the horrid massacres and wars
they have hitherto produced, which admon
ishes the President of the necessity of moving
in the work of reconstructing Southern soci

Christianity and the New Discoveries
Pompeii*
The last report from the excavations at
Pompeii tells us that its inhabitants were
making a jest of Christianity, and caricatur
ing on the walls its chief doctrine of a cruci
fied God, at the moment Vesuvius was heav
ing with the fiery flood that was to submerge
for a thousand years the city of somany grace
ful fanes and palaces. In the year 79 of our
era, only forty years after Christ's death, how
was it in that sacerdotal Alexandria which
foamed the most beautiful watering place of
old Italy 1 As we descend thro’ tho causeway
opened to us by a pickaxe, and see the city, it
costs little effort of fancy to recall it as it
then stood, and picture it on the day when
merry amateurs were scoring, on one part of
the palace of Pansa, humorous abuse against
the new creed, and some sedater artist, won
to it, it may be, by the persuasiveness of one
of its first apostles,' was concurrently sculp
turing in another part of the house tbe devo
tional cross that remains unfinished to this
hour. Strange! “The superstition” which
was already going about, conquering and to
conquer, and which later won to "it3 faith
every Roman city, never won Pompeii—never
won it, because amid the last orgies of vice,
and to the music of pipe and tabor, tho
choicest of the cities of Satan went down
bodily into Hades.
As strange is it, more than a thousand years
later, long after Christianity had become the
religion of the countries all over Europe, the
Old Sorceress reappeared amongst ua with
much the same aspect and garments as those
with which she had disappeared. The won
derful microcosm that enshrined, as in a
model, all the marvels of a worship that had
degenerated until it was without soul or life,
is now witliont soul or life itself; and priest
and priestess, dead now, as once living; are
found in mute attendance on deities who,
with their fanes and altars, represent a sys-
tem which—thanks to the crucifixion it ridi
culed—is no more a part of the world we live
in, than wc of the world submerged under
Noah.—London Herald.

The 3Iorgue.—A place called the 3Iorgue,
where the bodies of unknown persons fonnd
dead arc deposited for three days for identi
fication, has recently been establish in New
York city. Over 70 bodies were received
there last week, most of them of persons who
died from the heat, and most of the bodies
were identified. The bodies are arranged in
glass air-tight cases, where cool water drips
on them, to retard decomposition. The cloth
es of the deceased are hung up by the corpse
for inspection,and decay is so rapid that they
often afford the only certain means of identi
fication. Thus it is scarcely possible for one
having any friends to be lost sight of alto
gether..
Savannah Vessels not Quarantined.—

The Social Problem*
The Washington Republican has a just per
ception ot the enormous practical difficulties
of the problem in which emancipation has in
volvcd the country; but which the Radicals
fancy they can solve by an act of Congress or
an amendment to the Constitution, and re
quire the South to settle at the drop of a hat.
It says:
The sudden abolition of slavery as sudden
ly forced the people of the States where it
existed into tlic trial of an experiment which
has never yet peacefully succeeded,—the ex
periment of so adjustingthe laws and modify
ing the tempers, habits-and bearings of An
glo-Saxons and freed negroes dwelling to
gether upon terms of civil equality (sodal
equality is out of the question) in the same
communities as to satisfy both and produce
a condition of mutual contentment. To zea
lots unadvised of the struggles which have
occurred heret6fore under such or similar cir
cumstances, it appears to be a subject of no
concern whatever.
To the Radicals in and out of the present
Congress, judging from their flippant method
of treating it, it appears to be an experi
ment'which may be resolved by the applica
tion of the dreams of Thaddcus Stevens—an
enforced application of the equality doctrines
of the Declaration of Independence. But our
best informed and most sagacious and con
siderate statesmen, whilst they are equally
philanthropic, are painfully apprehensivethat
the furore with which impudent reformers
push their notions upon and into the com
munities where slavery has recently ex
isted, before their present wounds are cica
trized, will produce a war of races ef a very
terrible character. The reasons for this ap
prehension are too numerous for a newspa
per article. They would fill a volume.
The slaves of the ancients belonged to the
same race as the masters. They were trophies
of war, and frequently,as in the cases of vEsop
and Terence, the superiors of their masters in
intellect aud learning. Freedom was the
only distinction between them, and when
this boon was conferred they came upon a
common level. And, although it was found
that a prejudice against those who had been
enslaved lasted long after the period of their
enfranchisement, tlic frceclmen bore so close a
resemblance to the free-born that it became a
while impossible to distinguish one class
from tbe other. Slavery in the United States
has been united with the visible badge of color.
The negro has been the subject of it. Doubly
dishonored by color and the fact that his race
has been enslaved from time to him out of
mind, the colored freedman is_ in a far wor-e
condition for enjoying equal civil right with
his former master than were the slaves of an
tiquity. This led De TocqueviUe to remark
that 44 the law may abolish it form the insti
tution ot negro slavery, but God nlonc can
obliterate the traces of its existence.'’
