THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3,1868.
Savannah Republican fob Sale.—This
old and well-established journal—ite name
and good-will, together with all the appur
tenances thereto belonging—is advertised to
be sold by the administrator of the late pro
prietor, John E. Hayes, on the first Tuesday
in October proximo. The property is very
valuable, and would no doubt bring a hand
some price if the notice of the sale can be
properly disseminated in so short a period.
Short Crops.—The Cuthbert Appeal of
Thursday says:
The half has not been told of the shortness
of the cotton yield in this region. Now that
the catterpillar has removed the foliage and
eaten the tender bolls, the fruit is found not
to be tilers.
Less than half a crop upon a diminished
area, will tell its own tale before the season
closes. Hold out against the speculators,
planters, and the well-earned reward of your
labors will be enjoyed.
The Camilla Affair.—The Washington
correspondent of the Louisville Courier of
the 29nd says:
The Georgia negro outrage is discussed to
gether with the probable action of the Gov -
eminent authorities. The Secretary of War
had an interview with the President on the
subject to-day, the result of which has not
yet transpired. They have no information as
yet on which to base any action. P.adicals
are chuckling over the unfortunate affair, and
are attempting to pervert the facts to party
use.
Interesting and Important Disclosure.
The following appears as a double leaded
editorial in yesterday’s Savannah News and
Herald:
A correspondent of undoubted responsi
bility and high position, sends us the fol
lowing :
Mr. Editor : The statement has been made,
and repeated in my presence yesterday, by a
gentleman of intelligence, influence, and of
the highest position in this community, that
a Proclamation was written by President
Lincoln when tbe secession of the Southern
States occurred, and wasapproved by his Cabi
net, announcing their undoubted right to do
so,asserting that the Constitution of tbeUnited
States prohibited force being used to compel
them to return, and assenting to their peace
able withdrawal. This proclamation was
sent to the printer for announcement, but an
interposition was made by several Senators
and Representatives, and, after a conference,
it was recalled and suppressed. The names
of the witnesses to this fact—all of them of
undoubted character and respectability—can
be had.
If the facts as above stated are true—and
the character of our correspondent precludes
a doubt as to the perfect reliability of his
statement—they should be made known to the
world in the most authentic form. It is due
to the memory of Abraham Lincoln, to the
people of the South, and to the cause
of truth, that the world should know
by whom bis just and honorable—
lii3 patriotic, humane and law-abiding
purposes—were thwarted; that the world
should know who were the Senators
and Representatives that assumed the re
sponsibility of all the blood, rapine and de
vastation of the late fratricidal, needless and
unjustifiable war, with all the evils that have
followed in its train.
Our correspondent says the- names of the
witnesses can be had If so, is it not due to
the cause of civil liberty, now in imminent
peril—to the people, North and South—to
truth and justice—that they should out ?
Hon. A. H. Stephens.—The Hon. A. H.
Stephens is now in this city, having returned
from his trip to the Virginia Springs greatly
improved in health. We refrain from re
peating hb conversation with us in the hope
that he may favorably respond to the petition
now being circulated which asks of him a
public address on the questions of the day.
No man in Georgia would be so eagerly
listened to by all parties. Had his advice
prevailed in the beginning of the canvass,
many blunders would have been avoided.—
We believe that the predominant sentiments
in Georgia are coincident with his own, and,
if he can be persuaded that the time is
opportune, our people will be delighted to
hear again that voice of wisdom which has
lost none of its former magic. In the name
of the people, than, we ask of him to con
sider seriously the request that will ere long
be formally presented to him. Should he
grant or withhold his consent to the appeal,
we shall be satisfied that his decision will
he eminently right and for the best.

The New Store of A. T. Stewart.
Some time between tbe middle of October and
first of November, the new section of Mr. Stewarts
colossal retail store will be open to business. Tbe
entire establishment will cover more tli3n two
acres, and occupy the whole block between Bread-
way and Fourth-avenue, and Ninth and Tenth
streets. It will be the largest retail dry goods
store in the world. No other can be compared
with it, either in size or magnificence. Some
European firms may do as extensive a business,
Imt their establishments are divided into different
buildings. The largest entire edifice in Europe,
devoted to tbe same object, is that of Morrison, in
London, and is less than half the size of this.
The buildings of Mr. 8tewartis six stories in
height, and has a basement and sub-cellars below
ground to a depth of twenty-two feet The latter
is to be used for tbe storage of carpets and oil
cloths before being opened for public inspection
and sale, and is connected with the upper part of
the edifice by four elevators. Under the sidewalks
on Ninth-6treet, are four boilers for gene -ting
steam, by which the building is to be heated, and
for raising the elevators. The basement floor is
lighted from the street and also from tbe skylight
in the center of the ground floor, which receives
light from the sky-iighted dome.
The first story will be the sales room for nearly
every kind ot dry and fancy goods, except carpets,
cloaks and shawls. A broaa promenade will ex
tend entirely through it. The floor will be divided
into sections as is the o'd part, at present, and
will simply be an extension of the latter. Each
section will be devoted to especial descriptions of
goods. Five hundred clerks are now employed,
and double that number will be required when the
entire store becomes opened. A space in the cen
ter of all the upper floors has been left for the
great rotunda or dome, a hundred feet high, which
is roofed with glass. The windows of the build
ing are of plate glass, and on Ye ground floor, will
contain each but a single plate, costing about
?6G0. The gas jets will be lighted simultaneously
by an electric battery. The effect will doubtless bo
very brilliant.
The second floor will be used for cloaks and
. shawls. Like the others, it will contain wash
rooms and saloons for the use of customers. The
third story w*U be devoted to the cutting depart
ment, where many operatives of both sexes will be
employed, both in cutting and making garments.
The fourth and fifth 6tories ore intended as work
shops, but no cutting will be. done there. More
than seven hundred persons are now employed in
these departments. The sixth floor will be usedfor
storage. Upon it are two tanks for supplying
water to the building, which contain, together,
seven hundred gallons. The roof is of tin, and in
clines twelve feet from the dome, in the center, to
the eaves.
The influx of ladies into the new building, on a
tour of inspection, after the opening, will doubt
less lor many days be immense.—Tin**.

FM AB HOSTS DOCKKI
Let ns learn from the enemy. We copy on
onr outside an article from the New York
Herald upon the “Folly of the South,” and
of Georgia in particular, in not falling in
heartily with the Congressional schemes of
Southern Africanization, and in asserting the
ineligibility of negroes to seats in the Leg
islature. If we were to demand of theHerald,
or of any other intelligent Radical—do you
believe the interests of Georgians, white and
black, or of the country, as affected by Geor
gia, will be subserved by each negro legisla
tion as we must have, if we have any ?—the
answer must be no,
"Whatever they may be in the future, the
Georgia negroes are certainly not now capac
itated to act as legislators. To turn over to
them official control and supervision of the nu
merous and important counties in this State
in which they claim a majority, would be far
worse than divesting those counties of all
representation. It would be to put them at
the mercy of ignorance, irresponsibility and
fraud. Is this wise, or just, or reasonable ?
The answer of every man must be no.
"What then will you have? Ah, you are
acting in defiance of the Reconstruction
measures of Congress—you are inviting
Congressional vengeance. The Radical wing
of the Radical party will retaliate upon you
so as to sweep away all the “Constitutional
privileges” of a State, and in their furious
zeal to punish the refractory disposition of
Georgia and the South, will subvert the
whole political system of the country. You
should have smothered your griefs and
pocketed your losses. You should have con
formed to the situation and not irritated
these rabid Radicals into such furious retali
ation that in destroying you, the chances are
they will seriously endanger the rest of us.
You foolish fellows. And now the only
chance left, is that Gen. Grant may not be
so crazy as the rabid Radicals—may curb
them and be able to save a few pieces of
what was once the original Constitutional
fabric.
That is the substance of tbe Herald’s arti
cle, liberally interpreted; and we suppose it
gives a pretty correct idea of the Northern
drift upon these matters. Turning to the
New York Tribune of the 21st, we find a
long letter from its Atlanta special corres
pondent, which further xliscloses tbe views
and purposes of the rabid Radicals.
In this article the correspondent argues at
length that the whole reconstruction of Geor
gia is a legal and practical nullity. Congress
must retract its action in admitting the rep
resentatives from this State and remand the
State back again to military government.
It declares that these representatives were
elected under military authority, and not un
der State law, and that the action of the
Legislature in ousting the twenty-nine negro
members invalidated the election of the
United States Senators. In a word, that the
whole thing is wrong from beginning to end
and must be annulled by Congress, and the
State put pack under military law.
Here, then, we have in the Herald what
the moderate Radicals say and fear, and in
the Tribune what the rabid Radicals propose
to do. Tbe Herald throws the onus of salva
tion upon Grant as the coming man who will
fight off the rabid Radicals; and the Tribune
looks to Grant and the incoming of a fresh
and turbid spring tide of Radicalism to cure
the whole trouble with the strong hand and
heroic remedies—martial law and African
domination re-instated by the bayonet.
The reader can form his own conclusions
which wing of the party will find the buz
zard and which the turkey in case Grant is
elected. When we find a case in history of
extreme parties moderating of their own
motion we shall be inclined to hope that the
aggressive element of Radicalism will take a
back seat. Grant might, and we have little
doubt would, if elected, put it-under curb—
but simply in bis own interests. Grant is not
to be content with the dumb show of ex
ecutive power and position, accorded to
Johnson. He will respect none of their un
constitutional statutes emasculating tbe Pres-
dency.
But, although Grant may have much re
gard for himself, will he have much for the
boutb, or rather for the substantial interests
of the country as affected by the condition of
tbe South? For let us dismiss from our
minds the notion that any interest is felt for
the South outside of the effect of her condi
tion upon trade. .
We must leave these speculations for the
solution of time, and prepare ourselves to
deal with events as they arise with a passion
less skill and caution. What is done, i3 done,
and what is best to do, we must learn hereaf
ter in tbe light of events, considered and
treated with all the judgment and discretion
at onr command.
The painful fact is not to be concealed, that
the Southern situation ha3 complicated and
become embarrassing with every step of our
history since the close of the war. This the
Radicals charge upon our disloyal obstinacy
and intractability. This we charge upon tbe
total subversion by the Radicals of every
sound Republican theory and practice. The
argument is now before the country and the
grand decision is pending.
Anticipating what that verdict is likely to
be (for the Herald expresses entire confidence
in Grant’s election), in behalf of the moder
ates that paper begins in advance to depre
cate the extent to which judgment and exe
cution may be carried. The revolution is
repeating the old story of the Girondists and
the Men of the Mountain. Thousands upon
thousands are supporting Grant under what
they consider a choice of evils—it is a choice
between a Radical revolution on the one
band and a reactionary revolution on the
other. They dread the Radical aggressive
revolution, and fear it will sweep away every
vestige of free government. They dread the
reactionary revolution still worse. It was the
point of good tactics to have addressed and
conciliated this interest.
But.whatever may be the future, the South
must stand prepared with courage, modera
tion and firmness to contestfor good govern
ment. With the election of Seymour we
shall have no difficulty. Should Grant be
elected, the chapter of accidents—the con
flict Of factions —may stand us to some de
gree instead of the guarantees of constitu
tional law.

From Jasper County.
Hillsboro, Ga., September 17j 1868.
Messrs. Editors ;-As your most excellent
journal is.the.great fountain of information
in central Georgia, ever filled with excellent
reading for the masses, allow ine a subscriber
to occupy a emall space in your columns.
.The corn orop in this neighborhood is some
thing better than was anticipated. The ex
treme dry weather commencing early in May,
and lasting for nine weeks, cut the crop very
short. Most of the farmers used cotton seed
as a fertilizer, which in combination with the
dry weather, was a disadvantage on these
high thirsty lands. Enough, however, will
probably be made for home use.
The cotton crop a few weeks ago premised
a fair yield, but the boll worm is now doing
material injury, greater, perhaps, than at any'
former period. The crop, as a general thing, is
grassy and weedy, more so, it is thought, th^n
it has beenfor years. Most ofthe plantershav-
ing cleaned their crop before the rains com
menced, neglected to give it the proper at
tention after the rains set in. From inatten
tion or fear of injury resulting from late
ploughing they have allowed their cotton
crop to get in a bad condition. The shade
produced from this foul condition makes it
only the better for the worm to protect him
self from the sun. I find, in some bottom
land, cotton that I bad ploughed and cleaned
late, the worm has done lesa injury than in
upland foul cotton, and I think if all my cot
ton had received the same attention it would
have suffered but little from tbe worm. I
think, with good cultivation and toping at
the proper time, this destroyer of cotton can,
in a great measure, be rid of. I would sug
gest the full moon in August.
The political horizon in old Jasper is bright-
ning. The Democratic and Conservative
party are thoroughly organized and doing
good work. Seymour and Blair are in full
blaze; while Grant and Radicalism flow in
dark channels. Old Jasper will give a good
account of herself in November next.
I bope, for the good of the country, that
no election for Congressmen will be brought
on this year. There are many good reasons
why it should not. But having taken up
too much room already, I shall not mention
them just now. “A hint to the wise is suffi
cient.” . B.
The Geobgia Case.—The talk about
special legislation for Georgia’s case has all
ended in smoke. Common sense has pre
vailed over the wild demands of carpet-bag
fanaticism, and tbe fact is acknowledged
even by the carpet-baggers themselves that
Congress had ncr jurisdiction over the sub
ject, inasmuch as Georgia has been admitted
back into tbe fold of tbe Union. To adopt
any other theory would be reversive of all

Monrovia, Liberia, July 13, .1868.
To the Editor of the Mobile Tribune:
Sir:—I sit myself down to write you a few
lines, that you may lay them before the pub
lic of Mobile.
"We arrived safely at Monrovia oh the
19th of June, having left Savannah on the
14th of May.
"We are doing well here, and all the emi
grants from Mobile are in good health, ex
cept John Stewart and Matilda Barrett, but
they are much better now.
I hope you will let me know how you are
getting along, both white and black.
But I especially wish to bear from tbe
white people of the South—that they will
remain true to their cause, and will ever be a
unit for the country, and their government as
a Democratic.government, and will maintain
the Constitution of the United States at all
hazards.
I hope the Democrats will triumph over
their enemies as Christ triumphed over Death,
Hell and the Grave.
As for the colored people let them all come
to Liberia. Here is the place for them, on
this, one of the finest continents in the world,
where they can live to themselves and have as
much good land as they can cultivate.
.But they stay there in America to contend
with the white man for his government,
where there are thirty-four millions of white
people to defend their government.
Brethren, I beg you, as one who wishes
you well, to come and help cultivate this
rich soil, and by so doing we shall gain favor
with all the leading powers of the earth, and
particularly with the people of the United
States, who are our friends when wo get
here.
But if you stay where you are, I know too
well what is going to become of you.
You white people of tbe United States are
going to rule the country, and they are not
going to let you have anything to do with
ruling it. And they are right I would be
just a3 they are if I were in their place. I
would battle against you all sa long as I have
the breath to draw.
Then, colored friends, come to this country,
for here we are masters, with nobody to dis
turb us, with good and cheap land, and
plenty of hard money.
Mr. Editor, please tell Albert Griffin that I
never want to hear of him putting a decent
black man’s letter in that dirty paper of his.
That paper has been supported by the
colored people, and it ha3 done them nothing
but harm.
Tell all my friends to write to me soon.

the scientific section of t£e.Georgia Historical
Society was, “The Waste Products Resulting

Dream Remarkably Fulfilled.
Rev. L. W. Lewis, in his “Reminiscenses of
the War,” now being published in the Texas
Christian Advocate, relates the annexed re
markable instance as literally true. The bat
tle referred to was that of Prairie Grove, in
Northwest Arkansas, fought December 7th,
1862:
A carious fulfillment ol a dream occurred at
this battle under my own eye. A man by the
name of Joe Williams, had told a dream to many
of his fellow soldiers, some of whom had related it
to me, months previous to the occurrence, which I
now relate:
He dreamed that we crossed a river, marched
over a mountain and encamped near a church, lo
cated in a wood near which a terrible battle ensued,
and in a charge just as we crossed the ravine he
was shot in the breast. On the ever-memorable
7th of December, 1S63, as we moved in double
quick to take our pi icc in the line of battle, then
already hotly engaged, we passed Prairie Grove
Church, a small frame building belonging to the
Cumberland Presbyterians. 1 was riding on the
flank of the commend, and opposite to williams,
as we came in view of the house. “That is the
church, Colonel, I saw in my dream,” said he. I
made no reply and never thought of the matter
again until in the evening, we had broken the
enemy’s line, and were in full pursuit when we
came upon a dry ravine in the wood, and Williams
said: “Just on the other side of this hollow I
was shot in my dream, and I will stick my hat un
der my shirt Suiting the action to the word as he
ran along, he doubled it up and crammed it in his
bosom—scarcely had he adjusted itbeforeamiunle
ball knocked him out of .the line. Jumping up
quickly, he pulled out his hat, waved it over his
head and shouted. “I’m ail right!” The ball
had gone through four thicknesses of his hat,
raised a black spot the size of a man’s hand just
over his heart, and dropped into his shoe.
The Cotton Catterpillar on its Trav
els.—The Columbu3 Sun, of Wednesday,
says he saw and conversed with a gentleman
who had just returned from a visit of about
two weeks into Harris county. From his
account, it would seem that thi3 pest of the
cotton planter is making his ravages general.
As he went up to Harris, they were plainly
to be seen crossing the roads on their march
from to wards the East to the West, On every
place he visited they were actively at work,
stripping the young plant of its leaves and
attacking the young squares and bolls. On
his return yesterday, as if they had accom
plished the mission assigned them east of the
Chattahoochee river, they were found making
their way in a Northeast direction. Our in
formant hesitates to say how many he saw in
a ride of " twenty-two miles to Columbus, from
a point due North, for fear his statement
might appear fabulous. In many places, and
for hundreds of yards, the white sand was
actually colored by them. The planters in
all sections of Harris were also complaining
of the ravages of the boll worm. The rav
ages of this last named insect, however, have
been brought to a close by the operations ol
Notwithstanding that the' object 'of the
gentleman in question was wholly, with a
view to obtaining facts for scientific pur
poses, the air of mystery and secrecy thrown
around the gas works, and all matters con
nected with them, prevented actual figures
from being obtained. By diligence and en
ergy he was enabled to obtain, information
upon which careful estimates were based,
which will be presented below.'
It is well known that gas can be priced
from other sources besides coal. During the
war pur gas company made gas of the Georgia
pine to a great extent; but, as they have
Bince removed the use of coal, it is our object
to present the profits arising from tbe xnamu-
factcre of gas, and to show how other pro
ducts of coal are now allowed to run towa Ite,
which might be made a large source of refte-
n»e. *
;To understand the manufacture of gas, It
will be necessary to be acquainted with tire
minner of conducting what is called “ de
structive distillation.” Suppose two large
vesels, connected by a pipe, one capable of
bang heated to any required degree, the
otler being kept cool. Thelatteftis called!
receiver, the former a retort, r In
feewre of gas tbe retort takes a farm suitable
to tbe preservation of. the prgflucts. The
quality of the coal varies, but "we will pre
sume that used to be of average quality and
containing an average amountoi" moisture.
The products of the destructive distillation
of coal are gas, tar, ammoniacal liquor, aud
a few sulphur compounds. The residue left
in tbe retort is carbon and earthy matter,
which is called coke. Suppose the consump
tion of gas to vary from 50,000 to 125,000
cubic feet per day, according to the season
of the year. To manufacture these qualities
would require an average of ten retorts at
one season and twenty-five .at another, work
ing twenty-four hoars per day. From one
ton of coal there is obtained—of coke, from
thirty to thirty-two bushels, weighing from
1000*to 1300 pounds; of tar from ten to
fifteen gallons, weighing from one hundred
to one hundred and forty pounds; of am
moniacal liquor or “gas water,” from ten to
thirteen gallons; of gas S000 cubic feet.—
"With a consumption of ten tons per day,
3650 tons will produce in a year 116,800
bushels of coke, 56,777 gallons of tar, 47,450
gallons of ammoniacal liquor, and 29,000,000
cubic feet of gas. The value of these pro
ducts may be set down as follows: Coke,
$14,500, calculating at twenty-five cents per
busliel; tar $3000; ammonia $2000, and the
gas $146,000, making a total of $165,500.
Of these the tar and ammonia are allowed
to run to waste. By its repeated use in
washing the gas, the density of this am
moniacal liquor, which is now allowed to
run into the river, can he increased to a
specific gravity of one in fifty-five, and would
be worth one-half a cent per gallon, and its
value as a manure will be seen when we state
that sufficient of it could be manufactured
at the Savannah work6 to fertilize 1000
acres of land.
There i3 a great saving of coal, from the
fact that from one-half to two-thirds of the
coke is used under the retorts; the figures
given above are calculated as the profit from
the sales of the balance. Supposing the coal
to cost eight dollars per ton, for which price
it can be purchased at retail in this city, and
which is a high mark, the company probably

b A^^lawmtrtingwaa held in this city last [XatffEauorable Speaker and Members of the Harm
night to take aetion about the said memorial, and the
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, Neither the Governor, nor any other ex
ecutive officer of tire State of Alabama, has. ever
found iFnecetsary to call upon aposee ofeitizens to aid
in executing the laws, no proclamation has ever
been issued by the Governor declaring that the dne
execution of the laws "is impeded-in any section o.
■thu'State; and; whereat, the Democratic and Con
servative State Convention of Alabama, at its recent
meeting resolved unanimously to obey the laws of
the de facto .State Government, and as law-abiding
citizens to submit to the same until lawfully changed,
therefore, first, be it
Resolved, That the said declaration of facte and ap
prehensions in the said memorial is untrue in every
particular, and we, the people of Montgomery do defy
an investigation into the said alleged facta resting
satisfied that they are unsubstantiated by any evi
dence in the archives of the Executive Office, or in
the declaration of theChlefMagistrate of the State.
Second. That we, the people of Montgomery, do
solemnly declare onr conviction from evidence ex
isting around us, and within our knowledge, and
from evidence received from all sections of the State,
from reliable authority, that thejpeople of this State
were never more peaceably disposed than at present,
and never more ready to render prompt obedience to
the existing law.
Third. That the said memorial is prompted by a
artjjsan spirit which, for the temporary success of a
certain policy or party, would wreck the prosperity
of the State and plunge it into the horrors Of civil
war.
Fourth. That the people of Alabama, although
knowing the rectitude of their own. intentions and
fearing no molestation from an army ofUnited States
troops, would protest against the introduction of such
an army into our midst as a violation of the Con
stitution of the State, and as any unjust imputation
upon our character and conduct; that we cordially
endorse the letter of Gen. Robt. E. Lee and others, in
reply to Gen. Bosecranz, and do solemnly declare onr
belief that the sentiments of that letter are the senti
ments of the people, that we are peaceful and law-
abiding and will do nothing, and will countenance
nothing in others, tending to domestic violence..
Sixth. That the men composing the Legislature
which has drawn up this monstrous indictment
against a whole peopleare forthe most partstrangers
in the State, and were voted for at an election in
which two-thirds of the adult males of the State,

failure of the people to participate in the said

Legislators do not represent the people, hut do
grossly misrepresent them, and are robbing them of
their money by extravagant appropriations, and are
squandering the public treasury upon the vilwtof

Should the company reduce the price of
ga3 to within proper limits these figures
would not be materially altered, for tbe in
creased consumption would still swell the
profits; but they have a monopoly, and
citizens must pay the exorbitant rates or go
without the gas.
Another valuable manufacture might be
started by this company, which would be a
source of great profit, aud at the same time
of incalculable benefit to the city. We allude
to the manufacture of carbonic acid, an agent
of great power and usefulness, which is now
being gwerally introduced everywhere by
physicians and scientific men. As a disinfec
tant it is without a rival, and the process of
making is simple, of slight cost, and the
Savannah Gas Works could produce 1000
gallons of it per year. In case of an epidemic
the use df carbolic acid would destroy all
terrors of disease, tor it has been ascertained
that epidemics are mainly caused by the
presenceof vegetable or animal poison, which
thi3 agent destroys entirely. When London
was last threatened with a visitation of chol
era, its streets, sewers and houses were freely
sprinkled with acid, 1000 gallons of it being
used, and the epidemic was driven entirely
off. >
During the past ^ear the village of Torlin.
England, was visited by typhoid fever,
which raged to such an extent that agovernj
ment officer was sent to the place to look
into the matter. He went there, and by the
use of.carbolic acid succeeded in ridding the
place of the disease in a very short time.
For the noxious vapors which arise from our
swamps, aud the climatic fevers which follow
the inhaling of them, this agent is a power
ful remedy, and mingled with the waters of
the swamps, and it would not require a large
quantity to do it, their death dealing powers
would be thoroughly destroyed. It is impor
tant to Savannah, which is liable to visita
tions from yellow fever and other epidemics,
that tho gas campany render itself useful in
this wise; for with a manufactory of the ar
ticle in our midst, with a good stock on
hand, we would be able at any time to meet
and battle with disease. It is also useful in
preserving a corpse, seven drachms being all
that is required to prevent decomposition, if
the body is painted with it, and being color
less it does not affect the skin. A small por
tion must also be conveyed into the stomach,
and other portions of the body. This fact
will be useful to persons who may wish to
convey a corpse to a distance, aud keep it in
a state of preservation. * •/-
Many other facts were given in the lecture,
for which we have not space. "We present
the above synopsis to our readers for their

Do von wish to see one of tho hughest lies
of tho season ? If so read the following
“special” in Forney’s Press of the 21st:
A letter from a well-known gentleman
traveling in the South to the National Ex
ecutive Committee, says: “The Northern
papers do not overstate the intimidation.—
Every time one goes out into the country it
is at the peril ol his life; colored men'are
daily seriously wounded or killed. The rebel
plan is to get ready to buy arms and powder,
and on election day kill enough colored men
early in the day to intimidate' and keep
away ^11 the rest. I tell this not as bun
combe, bat just as what the Governor, and
others actually think, and have corroborated
evidence to prove.” Other letters say large
numbers of a new magazine rifle, carrying
eighteen 6hots, have arrived in Charleston
and other points in South Carolina, within a
few weeks, and there seems to bo a concerted
plan for the purchase of arms by the wealthy
Gen. Meade will be governed by previous orders.-

Suit has been commenced in New York against Mr.
Lair;l, builder of the privateer, Alabama, by the own
ers of the vessels which she destroyed. It is claimed
that fhe was fitted out in violation of law, and that
her owners and builders are liable for damages sus
tained at her hands. It is understood that Laird bad
funds in. this country which hare been attached, and
are held liable for whatever he may be held to pay.
The claim is for $119,009. ; ;i ,
■Washington', September 25.—A. delegation from
tbe Alabama Legislature, headed by the ■ Governor,

the preservation of order in that State.
Official advices of therecent Indian fight in Kansas
are received. Lieut. Beecher is dead. Col. Forsyth
was wounded as reported. Dr. Moore was mortally
wounded. Gen. Sheridan reports the party all
right, although surrounded by Indians, and. can hold
out, having plenty of ammnition,. mule and horse
flesh. Several columns arc moving to the rescue, and
it is thought the. Indians will be severely punished.
At the Cabinet meeting to-day,' all excepting
Evarts and Browning, were present. The Indian
a,fairs was discussed.
Washington*, September 26, noon.—The delegation
from the Alabama Legislatnre, having neglected to
bring an authenticated copy of tbe resolution under
which they aro acting, will wait its arrival before offi
cially visiting the President, Gov. Smith is with the
party by request of tbe Legisture, to advise and sup
port the delegation. He has no official functions to
perform here, in connection with the-application for
troops. He is of the opinion, however, that the action
of tho Legislature, though unusual in form, meets the
requirements of tho Constitutionin.the matter of se
curing Federal aid for Alabama, Ho does not fully
sympathize with the Legislature in it3 call for troops,
and expresses his confidence-in his own ability-and by
tbo civil machinery, to maintain the peace of the
State. The people desire peace and he has the assu
rance from men of both parties,of their support in his
efforts to that end. There is some disorder on thelinc
of the Tennessee river and north ofMobile; hut else
where throughout the State, there are no indications
of disturbance, and no disposition, to resist tho law;
in no other portion of tho State has any officer, who
ha3 been regularly installed in office, been resisted in
tho performance of his duty. Tho Governor is ap
prehensive that, during the excitement of the coming
election, imprudent parties may commit acts which
will lead to serious disturbances, unless restrained by
some assurance from the President, that they will be
promptly put down by Fedora! authority.. Beyond
these assurances. Gov. Smith is inclined to think that
noFederal interference is neoessary at present.

of Representative! .-
I return to the House of Representatives an act to
protect all persons in their public and civil right*
without my signature, for the following reason*, to-
wit:
The rights and privileges enunciated in the first
section of this bill, and sought to be enforced thereby,
are’fully and explicitly recognized and established in
the Constitution of the'State. Even a foreigner not a
citizen has the same right to travel and be entertained
as a citizen, and there is nothing in our jurisprudence
which makes distinctions on accountof race or color,
except in so far as relates to slavery. The organic
law of the land gives to all person* perfect equality
of civil and political rights, including the privilege of
enforcing these right* in the courts, and employing all
the legal rights which have heretofore been found
requisite to secure their rights to all persons. The
means, however, proposed in the fourth section ef the
bill for enforcing these rights are, in my judgment,
not merely novel and unprecedented, hut impractica
ble and. pernicions. It seek* to make that a crime
which has never, to my knowledge, been so consid
ered in those communities where' the highest regard
is paid to the personal rights of all men.
There is, and always onghit to be, a broad line of
demarkation fixed between a crime and the breach of
obligations growing Out of civil contracts, and we de
moralize the public conscience and confuse its con
ceptions of right and wrong,-when we seek to ob
literate bo evident a distinction. Onr statnte book is
filled already with criminal law* that are never en
forced, and never will be until public opinion ri*es to
their respective , levels. The history of the world is
full of examples of this sort; when acts, not in them
selves criminal, have been vainly declared so, and in
this way a levit7 of feeling in regard to real crimes
produced, and we relapse into the legislation of a less
enlightened reriod when we try to convert an act
which is properly a question, of civil damages, into an
offence against the peace and dignity of the State •
and it ought to be carefully borne in mind that w#
cannot hope by legislation to control the questions of
personal association,' much lees can we hope to force
on them who differ from ns, our. views of what is hu
mane, courteous, or christian-Uke. Mutual forbear
ance and kindness, and the noble belief in the broth
erhood of man* must spring from a higher source than
the fear of punishment. They can never be forced to
grow by pains and penalties.
So far as railroads and steamboats are concerned, it
must be borne in mind that the regulation of commerce
between the several States was wisely confided, under
the Constitution of the United States, to the National
Congress. The object of this grant of power was clearly
to prevent the confusion which would arise from con
flicting legislation on such subjects by the different
contiguous States, and the wisdom ot the provision
appears more clearly every day, as means of trans
portation are increased and improved. . -
By the second and third sections of this act, no dis
tinction is clearly made between railroads and steam*
boats whose routes are wholly within the State and
those whose routes are beyond. Of course, jurisdic
tion cannot go beyond our State lines, and in this
respect the act seems impolitic and liable to prodace
unnecessary confusion and litigation; and for experi
mental legislation of this kind, for which the sanction
of no successful precedentcan be adduced, a more un
favorable occasion than the present could hardly he
imagined. In the midst of a most exciting political
campaign; at a time when the passions, animosi
ties and sentiments, consequent upon a great war
and attendant upon great and sadden changes in af
fairs are roused to the highest pitch of intensity, and
when the prejudices regarding race are inflamed to
the utmost. It is here proposed to inforce the penal
remedies of what is, practically, class legislation, and
to maintain and confirm class distinction.
The effect, in my judgment, of such an act, would
be defeat rather than to promote the ends apparently
had in view by the authors of the bill. The barriers
of race, instead of being thereby removed, would be
increased in height and breadth, in firmness and
streugtii. So long as these barriers are maintained,
so long will be deferred the era of peace, order and
prosperity in the State,.to which mutual harmony
and goodwill are essential, and so long will the rights
of the lately enfranchised linger in the cendition of
doubt and uncertainty.
The prejudicies upon which these barriers are
founded have no foundation in reason or nature, and
will surely give way to the softening influences of
time, unless colored, as well as white, is equally se
cured by the Constitution in the enjoymentrof politi
cal and civil rights,"and in"hi3 remedy for their in
fringement; the courts are opened to alt alike. The
same rule obtains in National and State courts. The
Judges of the State Courts and their officers are amen
able to, and dependent, npon, all citizens alike, col
ored - andlwhite alike constitute - juries. Then if the
lately enfranchised, who are wise and reflecting will
notaskfor them, they will deprecate a kind of legisla
tion which.instead of advancing their present condi
tion, only rejoinas the enemies of their race more hos
lile.and furnishes them weapons.whereby to assail the
rights which the colored men have already acquired.
In returning this bill without rmy signature, it is
hardly necessary for me to say that I am prepared,
so far as lies in my power and force, to enforce tho
new Constitution as it exists, such is my desire, as
well as my duty; but when I find the act in question
to be, in my best judgment, unnecessary and unwise,
and for the reasons I have stated, calculated .to
demoralize the- public conscience and intensify
distinctions, which will surely yield to the power of
time and the growth of more Catholic views of onr
personal relations, it becomes no less already my
duty to decline to sign it.

Governor of Louisiana.

Great Excitement iu New Orleans.
New Orleans, September "25.—The Senate yester
day installed another negro, not elected, as Senator
from Oaddo parish, in the place of Ruben White,
White was elected, but was declared ineligible.
Registration was opened to-day. Among the first
acts of the registrars was the refusal of registration
to foreigners, naturalized by the Judge* of tho
Fifth and Sixth District Courts, since July last, on,
the ground that such naturalization was illegal. In
this they were sustained by the 'Chairman of the
State Board of Registration.
The excitement in the city; in consequence, is in
tense. The 'excitement was increased by an affray
this, morning in tho French Market, in which one
jrhito man was attacked by three negroes, all armed
with pistols. Dne negro was killed instantly: The
white man esoaped, but will probably be arrested to
night, if not already. Gov- Warenouth issued a pro-
'clamatioa this this evening calling upon citizens to
remain at home and abstain from exciting acts or con
versations; stating that the civil authorities are capa
ble of suppressing any difficulties that may arise and
arresting all offenders; or if found insufficient, will be
promptly assisted by tho military. He also calls upon
all political clubs to abstain from any public demon'
strations for tho present. !•
