laboring under a complication of diseases.
It being thought that on eruption which At
tacked him was varioloid, but which he him
self denied, lie was brought to Macon, and
remained sometime at the Lanier House.
Later still, he was removed to the hospitable
residence of Sir. Carhart, where he received
every kindness and attention that courtesy
and friendship could confer. Ilis disease
was bilious typhoid fever, complicated with
dysentery, which unloosed his spirit from its
mortal tenement yesterday morning, (the
22d), nt one o’clock A. M. His death was
peaceful and happy—the death of the right'
eons. Said he to his wife, folding Iris hands
on his bosom—“ J am going home." They
were tlic last words he spoke. He then
placed his right arm about his wife, and
with his left took the hand of his daughter,
and, in that attitude, expired.
“Love, do you recognize me?” was'the
last inquiry of his life-companion. A sweet
smile overspread his features, for he was too
weak to speak; and while so smiling, his
spirit returned to its Maker.

THE TRUTH.
If there is ono thing that grieves us more
than another, it is, on opening our Northern
exchanges, to find paragraphs similar in spirit
to the following:
Gen, Palmer Report* the State of Affair* in
the South a* llopele**.—A special Washington
despatch to the Tribune says: Major Gen.
John M. Palmer, who has been at Raleigh,
North Carolina, the past two months, as
President of the Whittlesey court martial, ar
rived here to-day, and his resignation, which
was tendered in February, he pressed the War
Department to accept, which was done this
afternoon. The General reports the state of
affairs in the Soutli as perfectly hopeless for
Union men. For fear of personal violence,
those who would visit him came at night,
urging secrcsy on his part as to their confer
ence. The reconstructed openly and defiantly
•insult Union officers in the streets, and their
-treatment towards Unionists and freedmen is
pitiable in the extreme.
We are grieved because such articles arc so
Basely false, and do such unmitigated injus
tice to the Southern people.
We are well aware that they are not be
lieved by a majority of the sensible people
nt the North, yet they da affect the minds of
many, do embitter the sectional spirit that
still rides rampant in the Eastern States, and
do prevent the advent among us of persons
with capital, energy and enterprise, who
would aid in developing the resources of the
South, and help her to build up her fallen
fortunes.
Wc desire most solemnly to protest agninst
all such articles as the above, and to say, in a
spirit ot candor and truthfulness, not unmin-
glcd with pride, that those who are called
union men are not maltreated, nor in any way
abused in the State of Georgia. Wc tell the
Northern people that they can travel in any
part of our State, and, indeed, in any part of
the South entirely unmolested. Wc tell them
that they can come and live among us, and
bo as kindly treated os at their own homes.
We tell them that they can come and buy
farms, or engage in business, or take situa
tions in our workshops, or build up factories,
or construct railroads, and in every instance
they will be welcome and respected.
Wc do not expect them to come here and
purposely insult us; and as long as they re
frain from such, and observe the ordinary
decencies of respectable life, they will be as
safe as though promenading on Boston Com
mon. We have, in this section, numerous
union men, “ so-called,” some even from the
Federal army, who are engaged, and profita
bly so, in the cultivation of cotton upon
forms they have rented or bought; and we
have yet to hear of the first solitary instance
in which they have been molested. We
have men so engaged, and also men merchan
dizing in this city, who aided as officers in
the capture of Macou, and assisted in all the
devastation paused by General Wilson’s raid;
and yet they arc os much respected as any
other orderly citizen in the place. As we
Wri f e, a paragraph in the “ Sumter Repub
lican,” a paper published in Americas, Gn.,
falls under our eye, and we quote it for the
benefit and edification of those who may
think it dangerous or unprofitable to settle
in tbc South, or invest money among the
Southern people.
Hurrah for Sumter.—The first bale of new
cotton was received in this place, yesterday,
from the plantation of Messrs. Wiseman &
Harper, and stored it with Messrs. H. R.
Johnson & Co. We learn it will not be offer
ed for sale, but will be shipped to Harper &
Co., New York. Messrs. Wiseman «fe Harper
are new comers to our county, and never
carried on the farming business before this
year. It is their first attempt in making cot
ton. These gentlemen will make two hundred
and fifty bales this year. Pretty good for
new beginners. Wc will here _ say, for the
benefit of persons wishing to cultivate cotton,
that this is tlic section ot the State for that
staple. There is plenty of good land about
here that can be bought cheap. Come and
try your luck.
IIow strange it is that tlic North is so slow
to believe tbc oft-repeated assertions of the
South, that it lias accepted the situation, and
means to abide by the decision of the war;
that it discards hostility in word and act, and
seeks now only for the beneficent fruits of
peace and good-will- namely, prosperity,
equal rights and a quiet opportunity to re
cover from the dreadful effects of the war 1
Let criminations cease in the Northern
press, and let a manifestation of confidence
and good will bo seen, and the South will
Hand shoulder to shoulder with the North in
ts march to prosperity and national glory,
and will be found seeking to maintain the
true welfare of the Union with an earnestness
that none cotrtd impeach or suspect

clique, which is called at Philadelphia on the

Tennessee will furnish most of the delegates.
A meeting of officers of the Federal army
was held here yesterday, to institute meas
urcs to call a convention of soldiers who arc
in sympathy with the policy of the President.
Among others present, were Generals Stead
man, McCook, Custar, Ewing, Meredith. Ros-
scau, Brown, nobart, Ward, and others of
note. After an interchange of views, it was
decided that the Convention be called for
tlic 17th Sept., at Chicago.
The powerful revolution already being man
ifested in the political sentiment of tlic
masses, has emboldened the friends of the
Union to “beard the lion in his den.” Sena
tor Doolittle and ex-Govemor Parsons, of
Ala., have arranged to leave immediately to
take the stump in Maine. The election comes
off on the 10th proximo.
The civil service of the Government, inclu
ding legislative, executive, judicial, consular,
diplomatic and customs, together with the
naval, military and pensions, call for about
$130,000,000. The other items of expendi
ture authorized by Congress, the definite
amounts of which canuot be given, such as
the bounty act, are estimated to reach near
$400,000,000. Provision was made to pay
from the commutation fund arising from the
the draft, which is $12,000,000, the sum of
$300 to the former owner ot each slave draft
ed or enlisted in the army. The sum goes
almost exclusively to Maryland, Kentucky
and Missouri.
The New Hampshire delegates to the late
Convention called upon the President in n
body, and had a very full and satisfactory
audience. The President was assured by
them that if he would dispense the Federal
patronage in that State to his true friends, to
the exclusion of the Radicals, there would be
no difficulty in securing a complete conserva
tive triumph. They disclaimed asking the of
fices for tlio Democrats, but were anxious that
the immediate friends of the President should
be provided for. The President gave an as
surance that his friends and not his enemies
should be sustained in their State.
The official proclamation issued yesterday,
characterizing the act of Maximilian in
blockading certain Mexican ports illegal, is
a new initiatory movement towards asserting
the “Monroe Doctrine.” The relations enter
tained towards Mexico by Franc? and Aus
tria, with respect to the conduct of Maxim
ilian, may throw upon our Department of
State a new canse for nice diplomacy. The
Executive action is very generally acquiesced
in by all, irrespective of party.
The very popular, clearly defined and com
prehensive policy for peace and reconstruc
tion initiated at Philadelphia, and di«tincd
to receive a favorable echo from the
several sections of the Union, is exerting a
very salutary influence upon the monitary af
fairs of the country. The rates of foreign
exchange have already so fallen as to materi
ally decline the premium on gold, and the
firmness and tendency to advance of all Gov
ernment securities give promise that those
combined causes will not only stop the ex
portations of gold, but will, if still further
maintained, bring back gold from the other
side. The money market rules easy, and
prices of railway stocks and commodities are
drooping.
The recent act of Congress laying an ex
port duty of three cents per pound on all cot
ton shipped from Southern ports, is about to
be put into active operation. At the office
of Internal Revenue, measures are being per
fected to designate fixed localities in the
several district* where planters can bring in
the staple preparatory to examination,
weighing and assessment, Already in the
Fourth District of Georgia, it has been ar
ranged to have Assessors on hand on Mon
days of each week at Athens, West Point
and Ringgold; on Tuesdays at LaGrange and
Dalton; on Wednesdays at Newnnn and
Social Circle; on Thursdays at Palmetto,
Rome and Kingston ; on Fridays at Atlanta,
Cartersville and Stone Mountain, and on
Saturdays at Jonesboro and Marietta. Lo
calities in the several States will lie designat
ed as speedly as practicable.
Pennsylvania is about to lend off in a grand
Mass Meeting, to ratify tlio action of the late

was clearly discernible on the countenances
of all spectators. The reflection that men
who had recently combatted each other on
the sanguinary field of strife were noiwonce
more together in the holy bands of fellow
ship, ready to bury the asperities of the post
and mingle theirenergiesto the more firm ce
menting of tbc national compact which the
internal feud of tlio past had well nigh de
stroyed, was well calculated to arouse (as it
did) in the minds of old men and more
thoughtless youth a fervor of patriotic im
pulse and heartfelt gratitude.
Arriving at the Presidential mansion, the
committee and as many of the cortege as
could be compressed within the walls of the
spacious east hall, were ushered in. Very
soon the President, accompanied by tbe mem
bers of his Cabinet, Gen. Grant and a large
number of prominent civil and military offi
cials, made tlieir appearance. Hon. Revcrdy
Johnson, chairman of the committee, then
addressed him in a style of pathos, eloquence
and patriotic zenl, which elicited un
bounded ' applause and enthusiastic
responses from the large dignified able and
truly national assemblage. - The response of
the President was unsurpassed in true patri
otic sentiment, and earnest expression of at
tachment to the wliolp Union and the Con
stitution of our fathers. He pourtraved in
truthful colors tbc revolutionary, unconstitu
tional, usurping aud dangerous action of the
existing Congress, not forgetting to character
ize in fitting terms, the pernicious teachings
of the subsidized Radical press of the coun
try. The address of the President ard that
of the Chairman of the committc, should be
scattered broadcast through every town, vil
lage and hamlet—the inculcations and senti
ments made the Tocsin to arouse all who
desire peace, unity and concord in ore com
mon effort to drive revolutionists aad dis-
tractionists from positions and power which
they have too long abused. Previous to
leaving the several gentlemen were introduc
ed to the President, his Cabinet and General
Grant, and all departed deeply impressed
with the profound importance of the move
ment.
The essence of a true form ot Republican
