from the Tallahassee Sentinel, that this dis

with but little hope of recovery. Ilis disease

Generals Lee and Johnston.—The
Richmond Dispatch, commenting upon the
opposition of Southern men to the Philadel

the approval and will receive the cordial sup-
[»ort of Generals Robert E. Lee and Joseph
E. Johnston, together with many other men
who bravely defended their country, and
proved their faith bv periling their lives in
huudred battles. But, then, says the tame

very “small potatoes,” compared with the
high mettled editors, whose indignant virtues

THE PLANTERS’ OONVENTION.
Wc cannot too earnestly pres- upon the
attention of the planters or Georgia the duty
of being fully represented in the Convention
to he held in this city on Thursday, tho 8th
day of September. Each county should send
men of intelligence and experience, wli
business has been planting, who are familiar
with our past system of labor, anil who will
l>e able to grasp the difficulties of the pres
ent time, and make suggestions for the fu
ture. The Convention should not be a mere
social reunion, to meet and adjourn in a day,
but a body of business men deeply impressed
with the fearful aspects of our present ,-itua-
tion, and resolved to devote their best energies
to the subject. A week will not be too long
a time for the deliberations and final action
of such a body, tor every planter of the South
is harrassed by doubt and uncertainty, and
looking forward to some one wiser than him-
.self to bring order out of chaos, and point
out the way for combatting successfully with
present troubles.
The Macon Convention, if properly consti
tuted, can do much for the enlightenment of
the public mind and the encouragement of
that great branch of industry upon which all
Southern prosperity depends. Each delegate
should come prepared not only with liis own
experience, but with the experience of his
friends and neighbors, on zvery question that
concerns the success and progress of that large
class of society. The planters can better enu
merate these than ourselves, for with them
every day develops some new deficiency or
suggests some new thought. The most im
portant questions, though, at the present time,
are, the best form of contracts for labor, and
the most effective system of plantation govern
ment. Whatever may be the ultimate desti
ny of the negro, he is our present dependence
for labor in the field, and the grand
concern is to render that service as pro
ductive as possible. Upon this eve
rything depends of oar future pros
perity, at least for a generation to come,
and no subject has greater claims on the at
tention of the Southern people. Whether
experience demands a change of labor, and if
it does, what steps shall be taken for the grad
ual inauguration of the industrial revolution ?
is another question for enquiry and compari
son of views. To what particular crops the
energies of the Southern planter slionld lie
directed under existing circumstances, is an
other—whether it would not be wise and a
measure of self-protection, whilst cotton is so
burthened at every turn with a load of taxa
tion, to abandon it altogetherexcept for home
consumption. There is much of interest to
be said on both sides of this question, and
we would be pleased to see the argument pre
sented to the public by so respectable a body
as the Cotton Planters’ Convention of Geor
gia.

To the Editor of t\e .1faeon Telegraph :
UNEXPECTED KETCHX OF THE KMPEKOR FROM
Napoleon and tiie French Boundary
It is bopod that we shall soon have a cable
that will bring us news that is not colored by
passing through British channels. The story
about the French Emperor's demand on
Prussia for an extension of boundary, bears
untruth on Us face. We agree with the Na
tional Intelligencer, when it says: That the
French Empcior should make known to Prus
sia the necessity of the extension of the
French frontier in the direction of the Rhine
in consequence of the immense accession to
the power of Prussia, was, wc thought, very
natural, as this vast development of Prussian
power constituted a danger to France. But
tknt once having made the demand he should
recede from it on the refusal of Prussia, and
withal declare that the demand was only in
tended as a piece of buncombe, is wbst wc
cannot readily comprehend, and are therefore
slow to believe. We apprehend that there is
more in the matter than what the telegraph
has informed us. There most be some cir
cumstances to qualify the facts nakedly trans
mitted to us.
We cannot well conceive anything less
likely to be agreeable to a proud people like
the French than to make such a demand, and
lie so unceremoniously denied. A man of the
experience anil ability of the Emperor Napo
leon, so familiar as he is with the French
character, can hardly be supposed to have
committed so great a blunder as this.
Legal Effect oftof. Proclamation.—
The proclamation of President Johnson de
claring the insurrection at an end in all the
States, says the New York World of the 31st,
is a complete abdication of all tbe extraor
dinary powers with which the'President was
clothed by Congress, during the war. This
consequence would have attended the previ
ous proclamation, only that did not Include
Texas; and the insurrection having iieen re
garded by Congress as one whole, and not as
a series of insurrections in the several States,
the extraordinary powers did not expire so
long as there was any place where tl.e insur
rection had not been declared extinct. Thera
were only eleren States that seceded; but
in consequence of this local insurrection,
confined tojvine suction of the country, tbe
Pr«dde«^vras empowered by Congress to
susperwtlir writ of habeas corpus through
out tin- Urited States, or any part of them,
aud this p -v< was vested in him till the end
of the reb< lliou But Texas having comple
ted the const ruction of a loyal State govem-
mint, an>l the President hnving declared tbe
HnOurrectfoa” at an end in that State, as wolf
as in all others, the whole system oi military
interference with the regular course of law
falls to the ground, and things revert to the
condition in which they were before the
war.
And ndw that this hideous system is end
ed, wc defy any man to look back upon its
history and point out aa instance in which
arbitrary arrests, overriding court? by (partial
law, and shutting up n< >v?paner jffices by
files of soldiers, accomplished the slightest
good, or, hastened, by • single day, the sue-
ccs-ful tf rminatior. «t the war. Mftafei > r
But It is unnecessary to enter into further
enumeration, and we have said this muck
only with the view of directing the minds of
our planters in a channel where important
results are to be evolved.
While on the subject, we would tako oc
casion to express the hope that the citizens
of Alacnn will feel a becoming interest in the
Convention, and be ready to extend such
hospitality to the delegates as may lie in their
power. The City Council would also do a
graceful act by providing a suitable room
for the body, with all the conveniences neces
sary for a comfortable transaction of their
business. The Railroads, wc believe, have
all agreed to transport the delegates at half
price, and we are glad to be able to add that
our hotels are now as comfortable and as
CCTED RETURN OF THE KM
VICHY.
Napoleon III., who was tikingtlie waters of the
Ormntle Or " at Vichy, avd who intended to pro
ceed irom thcn.ee to the cauip of Ctulsc* on tbe
11th, suddenly returned to Paris the day before
yesterday, to the great wonderment of tho Paris
iai’.s, who did not expect to see Hi? Imperial Majes
ty back in Ids capital before the end of Augost or
the beginning of next September. This unexpect
ed return of the Emperor has naturally given rise
to a thousand rumors, one more ridiculous than
the other. Some say that the impertinent tenor of
the speech of the King of Prussia, in opening the
Kaiomtr in Berlin, on Sunday last, had so annoyed
His Majestv, that he intended setting about mak
ing the necessary preparations to lorce the Prus
sian autocrat to acknowledge the importance of
France, whilst others positively affirmed that the
suppression of the Courtier du Diamancke, which
was some days ago ahnt up fora very insulting ar
ticle, comparing France to an Aspasia, or rather
what Bottom the Weaver,In Shakspeare’s.Midsum
mer's Night Dream, calls a “thing of naught,”
had something to do with tbe cliange in the impe
rial programme, hat both these versions, which
have been current during the past lorty-clght
hours, are deroid of foundation, aud
THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE RETURN OF NAPO
LEON OL,
Is simply a raiton de omte. The Emperor has
found the waters of the Grande Grille disagree with
h im year, and has been induced by his medi
cal adviser to discontinue taking them. Hence
the superfluousness of a longer stay at Vichy.
There is great wailing and gnashing of teeth at the
Tells. The sudden departure of so Important
guest and a part of the Court will be of serious
injury to tbe place, as attraction
has left, hundreds of those who, from ton sUnc.
spent a part of the season at this delightful water
ing place, will follow in the wake of the Emperor.
MATTERS OUT OF FRANCE.
There is no doubt but that the cause I have just
given is the true one for the return ol Napoleon.
Nevertheless, I am not far from bettering that an
other motive has induced him to return to his cap
ital. The Italians persist in tbeir exigencies, and
will not come to terms with Anstrla, unless
allowed to remain in possession of the Orentlne
district while negotiations are going on. Victor
Emmanuel would evidently not be sorry to And
some pretext to break off negotiations and begin
all over again, in order to avenge Custazza and
Lissa. Tbe Austrians have sent reinforcements
into tbe Tyrol, therefore, it is very likely that all
the conciliatory efforts of Ntpoleon the Third,
will be of no avail. We hear from good source
that onr Emperor’s patience is worn out, and that
he has openly affirmed, that if Prussia and Italy
cannot be brought to listen to fair means, he
sbonld be forced to take other measures, in order
that the peace of Europe may be restored.
OPENING OP TIIE PRUSSIAN PARLIAMENT—
nOHENZOLLERK. TIIE GREAT, MIGHTILY
PLEASED WITH HIMSELF.
King William, ot Prussia, opened the Xanmer on
Sunday last, as I have already stated; his speech,
which tbe telegraph will already have brought you,
has given great umbrage to tbe Sphinx of the Tu
rneries, and ti the French nation in general—not
the slightest allusion is made to the intervention
of France, or to tbe Italian alliance.
Tbe King asks pardon of his deputies “lor hav
ing taken the money out of tbe country without
their consent, which is altogether unconstitation
al,” but this, he says, “shall not happen again”—
with this part of the royal speech we have nothing
to do; but we look in Tain, in the address of the
King to his parliament, for some intimation as to
his future policy in Germany, which may some
day very ma’criaUy aflect ns in France. Yon may
well fancy the frowus which came over the Impe
rial countenance, whilst reading the King of Prus
sia’s speech—alter reading that document he must
have felt little inclined to submit to the pulse feel
ing of the doctor, and the process to be gone
through in the pump room.

Wend all Phillips Roars Again.—The

men who will at every hazard save the na

Long Parliament stood in 1649; and though

of the party which seeks to perpetuate the

to the brink of destruction, and who are now
using the authority of that party to plunge
tbe nation anew into tbe war aad chaos from
which it has just been rescued. The “depo
