tVc ’ ;onr*e torar a word •"! the justlc* o; this
tlmrrr \ a’ applied to • I: • railroad* of Georgia. In
the nu:»et -.re v.-.m d ray that no request bos keen
made ot ua to that end. We own not a dollar of
6locit in any railroad, nor are we under any ofcli"
nation to those Institution:, that is not Lilly shared
by the cunimunity «t Urge. It is tbe highest duly
of all men, however, to be just—to bear no false
witness against tlicir neighbors, whether railroad
stockholders or otherwiic, and to examine fully
Into 1 he facts of every case btfore an Injurious
choree i« laid to any n an’s door.
The price of any service or commodity Is rea
sonable or dearaccoidlug as it may cost more or
less to the party who renders It. In other words,
first cost is an Indispensable element ofpiice, and
no sensible man will do business without consult
ing it. llallro.Cs can be, justly, no exception to
this rule. They must charge more or less for
tuiusporUrg persons or things according as itcosls
them in materia! and labor to perform the service.
Every reasonable man will concede the equity of
this tu’e. Tested by it, wc have no hesitation in
saying that railroad tuns portal Ion Is ns el-cap as
anything we buy In these days of high prices, and
that the managers ot these worn* are not obnox
j jus to the charges of extortion that have been
brought against them.
We have been to some little trouble lo investi
gate the faeta tearing on the case lu point, and
have -ueccmcd in procuring, from reliable sources,
a list of prices, embracing t!.c leading articles ne
cessary for railroad operatkus, in 1S00 and ISO,.
The comparative statement will give information

will serve to show at what serious disadvantages
the railroads of Ac South are now conducting

RADICAL THREATS AGAINST THE SOUTH.
Some days ago tho following telegram was sent
to tho Washington Chronicle:
“The New York Post of this evening contalus a
powerful leader, telling the South that if they do
not adopt the amendment the law puuishiug trea
son wii Ii death and confiscating rebel property will
certainly be enforced. The Post, after much
strong argument, concludes with these words
•If the men-who led tic- way in the great treason
insist on being hanged or expatriated, they may
vet have their will, and that sooner titan they
think.”
To this the Richmond Times responds after our
own heart as follows:
The brutal threat of the malignant fauatic who
edits the New York Evening Post, that if the
Southern ]>eoplc do not adopt the constitutional
amendment their leading men shall be hanged or
exiled, and their property confiscated, is the most
depraved and intamons specimen of cowardly and
inhuman bullying which CTcr disgraced the press
of any country. No brave, noble but uufottuuatc
people were ever thus menaced before, and the
threat of the Post is worthy only of the Greek
brigands, who, when they have captured a tourist,
and borne him to some mountain fastness, inform
him that if his ransom is not forthcoming by a cer-
aiu day, he shall be flayed alive.
The hoary wretch who thus insults a disarmed
people when he uses the language of coarse me
nace, seems to have forgotten tho immortal valor
ai:d patient endurance which the threatened sec
tion exhibited during lour years of unpaialleled
sufferings and privations. He seems to forget that
in that contest all was lost save honor, but that
although crushed by a people who bought tbe aid
of every nation of Europe, to help them do their
work, the South, although defeated, is to-day more
respected and honored by Christendom than oar
merciless and unfeeling conquerors.
And the insult conveyed In this menace Is the
AS* Wc ere indebted to “ Brevity and Brilliancy in
Chess,”—that admirable volume—for tbe illnstrative

These figures contain at
: axument
that needs
wo comment. They show that the expense of
railroads, have increased from 50 to 100 per cent,
and in some instances, the heaviest items, to a
still greater amount, (in the other band .the
charges lor fares und freight, vary from £5 to COper
cent., ar.d In many Instances are below the former
figure. To this add a most important fact, that
many of our Georgia railroads have suffered serious
ly from the war, at.d some of them been entirely
brokeu up and destroyed with nothing but the
grading lettto rebuild upon and wc have an argu
ment that appeals to our fostering consideration
for those unlortnuntej Institatlons, and not to the
spirit of censnre and hostility. In view sf their
large expenditures and many embanasments, t #
which a short ctop may be added, in order to dis
charge their indebtedness as it falls due, transact
their business with dispatch, and continue the
work of reconstruction yet far from complete, and
pay anything ct ail to their stockholders, there is
obliged to be a large i er cent, added to th* charg
es before the war.
upon to sanction and aid in the accomplishment of
our own dishonor, we are promised not even a vile
price lor our self-debasement like that which Ju
das took aud then went and hanged himself. We
are each day called upon to approve and ratily
some fresh deed of Radical outrage, with so room
lor hope that a still greater humiliation docs not
await us the next day,
In the bottomless Aromas of Radical malig
nancy there seems always open, in tho very “low
est depths, a lowerdeepstill threatening to devour
us, to which the uell we suffer seems a heaTen.”
This persecution of a disarmed people, this cease
less torture ot a noble race, which has proved it
self so brave and heroic, stamps the Northers vic
tor as less magnanimous than either the Turk or
the Russian. 1 This torture, protracted through
months and year. 1 , and constantly increasing in
ingenious severity, has uo parallel save iu the dia
bolism of the Inquisition. The Indian, even when
he has tortured his captive for a season, ends his . „ , , ^ „ ....

ly short crop, most of them are preparing to

but it it geceraily only with the intention to
reinvest, in a more productive place.
* I like to have forgotten to state th -t the tele
graph line from Fort Valley was completed to
this placo several days since, and that Aineri-
cus i* now in lightning communication with the
rest ofthe world. Tbo polite anil accommoda
ting operator, Mr. 0. M. Clark, (lately of the
Macon office) has charge of the office here, where
he will continue till tho completion of the line
to Albany, when he will favor that place with a
temporary sojourn. • '
The aunual conference of the Methodist Epta
copal Church .f Go rgia. will assemble here on
the 2Sth of this month. The hospitable citizens
are rnakiug ample preparations for the minis
ters. I heard it said that “the fowls were al
ready beginning to come up and lay tln-ir heads
on tho blocks preparatory to being cut off.”—
Whether this bo true rr not, I cm sure fried
chicken and all tho ; od things of which Meth
odist preachers (as well as wo doctor:.) ere pro
verbially feud, will bo plenty.
Yesterday I spent more thanan hour rambling
throughout tho suburbs of tho towm enjeying a
view of tho private residences. Nearly all of
them are neat., and have tho appearance of thrift
and comfort. Many ol them are handsome, and
u few oven elegant, and evidently the abode of
wealth. Although a married man, being still
awre ar.-t fond of looking upon the leautiestrf
uatu’re. both animat* and inanimate, I timed my
Maps *o as to reach the Masonic Female College
a well conducted aud flourishing Institute of
the organization of a regiment, and when each or
ganization ia complete ihe colonel will report the
same time by letter to these headquarters, at the
same time forwarding a complete muster-roll of
h ! s regimeut, the printed blanks for which will be
furnished on application to these headquarters, tc-
g ether with any information at any time that may
e required.
Each regiment of infantry will be armed and
uniformed as follows: A mntket or rifle, calibre
fifty-eight, (breech loader preferred,) waist-belt,
cop, and cartridge-box, screw-drivcr, and wiper,
to each man, and uniformed with a blue cloth
cap with green band one and a half inches wide
of worsted lace; a green flannel or worsted
blouse, and sky blue pants, (government pattern)
with a green worsted cord down the outer seam,
and an overcoat (government pattern.) The eost
of tho entiro uniform will not exceed $12, and
can prooably ba obtained much cheaper, and
can be furnished at these headquarters at the
lowest contract rates on application. The officers
and first sergeants to wear sworda and tho insig
nia of their rank, the pattern for which, aa also
ofthe buttons, will be furnished.
Each regiment of cavalry (which will not exceed five,
to lie raised in districts where this particular arm of the
service has tho preference) to be uniformed the same
as infantry, substituting the breech-loeding carbines for
the musket of ssnie calibre, carrying pistols nnd wear
ing spurs. Horse, nnd equipments for cavalry regi
ments w ill be supplied immediately alter occupying toe
enemy’s country.
Ten compnnie-. each to consist of one captain, two
lieutenants. • rid fifty men, will be ra eed for light artil-
lerv, to he uniformed the same as cavalry or infantry,
sr.d drilled for this arm of the service, the arms for
which will bo hereafter specified. .
3. All commi-:;ons for officers of every graae will be
issued from the-e headquarters, and no officer will bo
considered in -crrice until so commissioned Great
cate sho- ld bo taken m their selection, and when a
company or regiment is raised, the names of the appli
cants for conmii:-ious must be forwarded to this office,
together witli a complete military history of former ser
vices, accompanied by recommendation for office in
Tj.e nor.-commissioncd officers to be appointed by
coUnela on the reeommendauone of captains, who, by
thc»r good conduct, will be promoted to fill vacancies
arising from the causalities of a military campaign
1. Department inspectors will beappomted from these
headquarters with orders to visit their reepeetive de
partments, inspect the troop*, and give such Informa
tion a* ehall injure a complete success; end it is most
r: gently requested that all State and cirole Centres en
