JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
MACON WBDNEBDAY MORNING. AUG 23,1865.
,MOH\l\G EPITIOIV*
To the Public.
fn rooming the publication of the Daily
Journal and Messenger, we would return
our heartfelt thanks to those of our friends
who have tendered their assistance in our
recent difficulties, as also to the military of
ficers for the courtesy received in executing
their orders in as lenient a manner as possi
ble. We assure our friends that we will
ever remend er their kindness towards us,
and will as far as possible repay them for it.
To those parties (we are glad to we know
of but one or two) who have been endeavor
ing to build up their interests and business,
thereby injuring us, by making the assertion
that we would not be allowed to resume, we
simply wish to say they have our contempt,
nothing more.
One man, to our certain knowledge, being
Vtry friendly towards us, has put himself to
the trouble to very industriously circulate
the report that he had it, on good authority,
that we would not be allowed to resume the
publication of our paper, and we have in
stances in which suoh assurances tended to
his advantage, by securing to him patronage
he would not otherwise have received.—
This we have been a; eured of by gen
tlemen of unimpeachable veracity, and will
if necessary cite the prods. W e want to
gay to him that we, as well as the public,
appreciate his motive, but have not been
disturbed by his actions We simply treat
them as we hold him—ss not worthy the no
tic# of a gentleman.
Removal.
The office of the JovrnaL ANdMeSBEN
oer has been removed to the corner of Cher
ry and Third street' 3 , (>p i-tairs) five doors
below our old stand, wl < re wt will be glad to
see our old and many n» w customers. In
th# course of two weei.s we intend materi
ally enlarging cur paper, aud otherwise im
proving it, and assure our li lends that we
will publish a good, re ntL'e J unify newspa
per. Our past exp lienee ol forty-three
years in the newspaper business in Macon
assures us that an appreciative public will
austaiu us. We arc fitting up our job office
for an extensive job business, and can do
auy kind of job work on shoi t notice, at our
usual moderate charges. Pamphlets, hand
bills, posters, cards, etc., promptly and neat
ly printed.
No Mistake.
It «rijl h« seen that our paper bears date
on the oufside, Juiy -era. ou« ———
Aug 28d. The discrepancy is accounted
for by our baviug the first side of our paper
worked off when tho order came suppressing
us. To save this amount of labor and
material, we have concluded to send it just
as it waa arranged. So it is no mistake of
the printer.
Explanation.
The order to arrest every one on the streets
after ten o’clock, is a good thing, but it in
terferes with our carrier very much. He is
compelled to wait until daylight before he
start# round on his circuit, which, as it is
very long, makes it quite late before some of
our subscribers got their papers. We ask
your indulgence, and will try to have the
matter remedied in the future.
Our neighbor, die Telegraph, came
om in < ui-w suit ou yesterday. It is quite
hemming. They have enlarged their di
nu*u«ions also, which is quite an improve
ment. We are glad that our friends are so
lucky. But, be it understood, they aie not
the only ones who will have anew “frock,"
for the Journal and Messenger has made ar
rangements for new type and anew press,
all of which will be on hand in a short time.
t&» A planter in the parish of St.
Charles, says the New Orleans Times, who
considers himself fully posted on cotton
•tatistics, says that there never was over
four hundred thousand bales of cotton
raised in any one season west of the Missis
sippi and the Rio Grande when Kirby Smith
surrenaeieu, au»
will be added by this year’s crop. Os the
old crop a great deal has already been hur
ried to market, and the new crop, as well as
well as the old, will be entirely cleared out
of the country before the first of March
oext. With the limited stock ou hand and
the crop prospect uow before us, our corres
pondent thinks sixty or seventy cents per
pound will be the prevailing price in Janti
uary next. "

The True Bond of Union-
We have been watching with intense in
terest, the development of the President s
policy of Reconstruction* As day after day
it has been revealed, we have observed little
to fear, and much to admire. We have
strong faith in President Johnson’s wisdom
in things pertaining to the administration of
the law, and the proper construction of the
Constitution. An able lawyer, an experienced
Statesman, no one is better qualified to di
rect the Government in this critical hour
than Mr. Johnson. He has taken the
proper view, in our estimation, of the meth
od of reconstruction. It is not to be a union
held together by the sword, but a union
of sympathies, a union of hearts, a union
of interests, a union of commercial ties, a
union of American freemen, “a white man’s
government,”
Such a consummation cannot be brought
about by arbitrary measures, by despotic
power. There can be no true allegiance to
Government, unless there is entire obedi
ence to its laws. All happy and truthful
obedience must arise from the affections.
Our affections are only moved, and our
gratitude only extended to those who by
effort and self denial, labor for our good.
Our gratitude rises only in proportion to
estimate of the relief brought, under)a sense
of the danger to which we had been exposed.
It is the mercy exhibited in the effort and
self denial which calls forth the affections
of the heart, and consequently, urges obe
dience. Apply these principles to existing
circumstances, and the result will be obvi
ous.
We had rebelled against the authorities of
the United States. Submitting our cause to
the arbitrament of the sword, we have been
overcome and made prisoners or captives of
the power against which we rebelled. Asa
right belonging to the conqueror, they had
power to put us all to death, or imprison us,
or subject us to any punishment they saw
proper to inflict, This was their right ac
cording to the established rules of warfare.
Although a right, would it have been wise
to have exercised such power? Certainly
not ? It becomes a great nation to be mag
nanimous. President Johnson, the Chief
Executive of the United States, has seen
proper to exercise mercy toward the people
of the South. The people of the South, in
return, feel grateful for that mercy, and as a
legitimate offspring of gratitude, are render
ing obedience to the laws of that govern
ment. The Government, by its magnani
mous course towards the South, is winning
the affections of the people, and when all the
arbitrary measures which have been adopted
for special purposes are revoked, then will
- 1 tlia roault.—nhodience
to the laws, not from fear or compulsion, but
from higher motives—affectionate obedience,
the result' of the mercy extended.
This is the cord that must bind us together
as a union of brothers. There is a moral
sublimity in the course of President John
son, rising above the storm and tumult which
radicalism is creating around him, extend
ing the hand of mercy and forgiven ess to
wards those who have no right to expect it.
He will succeed in spite of all their efforts
to thwart his plans.
Stopping Double Pay. —The Paymaster
General has issued an order calling the at
tention of the paymasters to the forgeries
and double payments of the accounts of the
of the officers of the regular army, and the
volunteera now in the service who are enti
tled to draw their pay monthly on indvidual
accounts j and directs that hereafter officers
of the above class shall draw their pay from
some paymaster of the district in which they
ure on duty. Chiefs of pay districts are
ordered to immediately assign a paymaster
to the special duty of paying such accounts,
and prohibit any but the one so assigned
from making such payments.
Speculations and Defalcations. —A pe
riod of great speculation is always attended
with great defalcations. Inflated prices for
the past two er three years have been a pro
lific source of speculation, and the tempta
tion is tco strong for some who have the
handling of money. When speculations are
rife, moneyed institutions and moneyed trusts
should watch their agents closely, especially
tuoae wliu mo dealing in fancy stocks, gold
coin and petroleum shares. A little of. the
right kind of vigilance, then, and close ex
amination of accounts, might save their own
and other people’s money entrusted to their
care.
Gen. Grant for President.— $peaker Col
fax, in addressing the miners of Nevada,
said: “And above all, let us remember that
man who stands chief amongst them, mod
est and unassuming, and yet as
and persistent as mortal man can be our
Lieutenant-General, Ulysses 8. Grant— (tre
mendous cheering)—worthy a place in all
your hearts; fitted to grace, as I believe he
will, the first chair iu the Republic of the
United States."
ST A terrible tornado passed through the v'H
of South Bend, Indiana, on Wednesday last j,
through the center of the town, tearing off roofs over
turning chimneys, and destroying all t lees aud ahrub
berj it came in contact with. The court-house and
one church were uuroofed, aud several large fcuildinea
iu process of erection demolished. The most aerious
loss was the destruction of the bridge across the St
Joseph river, some 300 feet long, and costing t24,onn[
which was swept off. The loss in the village is esti'
mated at 1200,000. The farmers in (he adjacent coun
ty also lost heavily.
Sudden, Death.— Mr. Samuel Wallace, a refugee from
Tennessee, and a brother of Msj. Campbell Wallace,
President of the East Tennessee aud Georgia Railroad,
died suddenly is Athens ou Saturday last.

ATLANTIC CABLE—CAUSE OF ITS LOSS.
New York , Augi 19. —An abstract of the
report of the officers of the telegraph oable
expedition is published, showing the follow
ing fact: The breaking occurred about 12:30
o’clock this evening, at a point where the
water was 3,900 yards deep, and when over
1,200 miles of cable had been payed out, in
consequence of its becoming injured by
ohafing on the stern of the ship, while re
hauling a portion of it on board the Great
Eastern to remove another defect in insula
tion which had been discovered after losing
it. It was grappeled three times, and be
ing, on one of the occasions, brought to
within 1,200 yards of the water’s surface,
but the weight was too much for the grap
pling rope, which, each time, broke and
dropped the cable. The last attempt to
raise it was on the 17th that., when, not
meeting with success, a buoy waa plaoed
over the spot where it waa lost, and the
Great Eastern sailed for England, and her
consorts, the Terrible and Galatia, for St.
John’s, where the latter vessel arrived on
last Tuesday evening, as heretofore an
nounced.
CONFISCATION OF PROPERTY OF REBEL
BANK NOTE ENGRAVERS. .
The property of Hoyer and Ludwig, of
this city, has been libeled for confiscation.
These men are immensely rich, and did the
entire engraving of bank notes, bonds and
checks for the late rebel government.
THE KETCHUM AFFAIR.
No new developments of importance in
the alleged Ketchum gold check forgery
case were made yesterday, and the excite
ment in regard to the matter in financial cir
cles has considerably abated. No traces of
Edward Ketchum have yet been discovered.
It is considered almost certain that he has
not gone to Europe, and there is a strong
belief that he is still in the city or vicinity.
A reward of SSOOO has been offered for his
arrest by the National Bank of New York.
WASHINGTON ITEMS.
The Times’ Washington speoial says ap
plications for pardon still pour in by the
hundred. Eveiy day about 100 are receiv
ed. Twenty Virginian# of the *20.000
class were pardoned to-day.
Maj. Gen. John B. Castleman and Lieut.
William E. Munford, of the rebel army, ar
rested last winter as spies within our lines
and captured at Indianapolis, have been par
doned by the President, and to leave the
oountry immediately.
F. McMullen, of Va., a member of the
rebel Congress, arrived here yesterday,
armed with a letter from Gov. Pierpont to
the Secretary of War, recommending the
withdrawal of the colorod troops from that
State, because they are highly obnoxious to
the loyal Virginians. Mr. McMnllen had
an interview with Secretary Staunton to-day.
The order for the withdrawal of the said
black troops has not been issued.
WERTZ TO TURN STATE’S EVIDENCE.
The Herald’s Washington correspondent
says, an opinion was confidently expressed
to-day by parties competent to judge, that
the Government will not undertake the trial
State’s evidence in the approaching trial of
Jeff. Davis, whereby it will be proved that
the rebel President was the direct and prime
instigator of the cruelties practiced upon
Union prisoners, and the numberless atroci
ties which were from time to time committed
in defiance of the usages sf war.
It b known that Wertz has expressed his
desire to make important revelations as to the
extent that Davis was implicated in the out
rages of the Southern prisons.
TIIE DACOTAH TRIBES.
Telegrams were received from Maj. Gen.
Pope to-day at the Indian Bureau, contain
ing a communication from Gen. Sully, now
conducting the military expedition in Daco
tah, announcing that there is no doubt that a
permanent peace can now be secured by the
Government with the Sioux and Cheyennes
tribes on the Missouri river. In endorsing
this intelligence and referring it to Secretary
Harlan, Gen. Pope suggests that no civil or
military person in the section occupied by
those Indians should be appointed a# com
missioners for treating with them. In addi
tion to the above, Gen. Sully remarks that
in that quarter the iuhabitants are appre
hensive that the coming winter will be one
of great severity, and it is feared that the
troops will suffer even more than they did
last winter. All efforts the present season to
produce garden vegetables for the use of the
camp were futile by reason ai ravages of in
sects.
ANOTHER ROBBERY.
The Daily News says A. B. Jones, freight
collector on the E. R. R., has been perps
trating a series of robberies. His salary
was SI,OOO a year. He had humble apart
i ments in one quarter of the city represent
[ ing his salary, and splendid apartments on
. Broadway representing his stealings, and at
which he entertained his female friends,
i These rooms were made a perfect “seraglio."
\ An inspection of his accounts show that he
; stole $3,000 in a day, and how much and
how long he had been stealing, is not yet
Jones has left the city with
one of his * ladies, ostensibly for New
Orleans.
MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
By the steamer George Cromwell we have
New Orleans advices to the 12th.
The Brownsville correspondent says the
Liberals have been steadily successful in the
State of San Louis, driving the Imperial
forces into the defences of San Louis Potoei.
The people feed and assist the guerrillas in
every way possible, and show themselves
utterly opposed to Maximilian.
The break bone fever prevails to such an
extent in Brownsville, that many of our
officers are resigning.
Kentucky Flections.—Raring been unable to glean
from the press of Kentucky any account of the late
elections in that State, we subjoin the estimate of tbo

New York Tribune:

Which S*x it Most Vam’J —That both sexes are equal
ly capable of vanity in this particular, our reading, if
pot our eyes, may convince us. So long as women
valued men for show and glitter, masculine extrava
gances fell not one whit behind feminine. When Pepys
records his vow—“ Henceforth, lam resolved my chief
expense shall be in lace bands” —he reflects, as he al
ways does, the tastes of his age—and his age was one
in which the men were passionately addicted to laee.
While the ladies thought Sir Fopling a flue fellow, be
outdid them ia the elaborate research of his costume,
as well as in his enjoyment of it:
“His various modes from various fathers follow;
One taught the toss, and one the new French wallow;
His sword-knot this, his cravat that designed,
And this the yard-long snake he twirls behind.
From one the sacred periwig he gained,
Which wind ne’er blew, nor touch of hat profaned;
Another’s diving bow he did adore.
Which, with a shog, casts all the hair before,
Till he, with full decorum, brings it back,
And rises with a water-spaniel Bhake.”
We believe the main difference to be that women are
still more dependent on dress for their standing, and
that dress represents property, to their imagination, as
it no longer does to men. How often women of inde
pendent tortune adopt some eccentricity of costume,
to get rid of all feminine prettiness and vanities! When
is a woman, with a mean, bare sufficiency, seen to as
sume a man’s coat and hat, ad to cut short her hair—
a freak every experience can recall in some woman of
property? ’ll “woman’s rights” should ever be estab
lished, we shall know, and not till then, whether love
of dress belongs to her in a sense absolutely peculiar
to her sex.
We own we do not wish to see the day when, mak
ing herself a sphere, controlling opinion, preaching,
physicking, haranguing, and turning sea-captain, she
competes with man on equal termß; but, if ever we do
see it, we expect to see some negligent toilets, and some
extreme defiance of the mode along with it, and that
the ladies will prove their right to wn extended fran
chise by contempt of the old limited field they now call
their own.— Blackwood's Magazine.
