he President, or we would have anoth er revolution, more bloody perhaps than the one we have passed through, because there would be a loyal senti ment in the North to support the South in her electoral rights. The Cohservative journals of ltnn. pylvaniu and New York, speaking for the friends of Constitutional liberty in those states, use language of like mi port and not less emphatic. We confess that we arc deeply pain ed by these threatening indications of popular discontent throughout the , country caused by the intolerance and ! recklessness of the party in power, but we are not altogether without hope that by tha interposition of an overruling Providence, reason and justice will yet triumph over passion and prejudice, and point out a way to the pacification of our national troubles without a recurrence to the dire alternative indi cated by the Conservative press of the North. Beginning of Disintegration. The side bar discussion in the Senate on 14th instant, between Messrs. Sumner and Wade, is reported in Washington as the most of the session. Those Senators stood facing each other for several minutes. Mr. Wade contending that Congress was luiiunui amciHiii'ieiii, ii nrtnpn.iTTry trfe southern States, as conclusive of their right to representation; Mr. Sumner as earnestly denying that there was any such agreement or understanding. Mr. Wade said he should stand by liisbar. gain, when Mr. Sumner, waving his hand at Mr. Wade* said : “ There sit—we part company.” Poston, December 11.—A inrst grave and exciting rcpoit ot tains wide currency hero to night. A Fenian privateer is said to have successful 1 ) - eluded Federal vigilance and to have sailed from Newburyport several days ago, the last of last week, cn route lbr the Irish coast. The vessel in ques tion is alleged to be the schooner Es telle, of some 700 tons burden, and is said to be armed with the most im proved and destructive ordnance, suit' ed in calibre to that of the vessel, with a rifled G -pound pivot gun aft, and to contain a ] icko.d crew of more than ‘2OO men, who have seen service on our ironclads during the recent war. Judge Chase, according to the roi port in spoke deliber ately at Philadelphia, on Tuesday cve> ning, as follows : “The Congress of the United State; lias offered its terms, and I will take the liberty here to say, that 1 think a more generous, a more magnanimous proposition was never submitted to a people who lmd been in rebellion, tl an the amendment which lias been pro posed by Coi. gross. [Applause.] if those communities that have been in rebellion have anything to propose— if they think there is a better mode, a more generous mode, a mode bettgr .calculated to secure ikoncace amt tier, mony and prosperity orTtit; great land let them come forward and pr.pose it, and the people will listen and judge.” Death of a Negro Mu son, — J lie N. York papers of Monday record quite a demonstration in that city the day pre vious, in honor kqthe memory ot one Paul Drayton, the “.Most Worshipful Past National Grand Master of tile Colored Masonic fraternity of the Uni ted States.” At the time of his death which occurred at Charleston, S.C , on Saturday the Bth iust, lie was mi a mission to South Carolina, to organize Masonic lodges among the colored pen, pie of that State, llis age was 05 years. Yet Another Gun —Louis Napoleon it appears, lias turned liis Laud to the manol'actuie of formidable) weapons, his achievement being the invention of a four pounder gun which is said to be the lightest, the most effective and the most easily managed field piece cv. cr made. The French cavalry, armed «vvith this gun, can act as flying artih icry, and in keeping out of range of jieedle-guns, or any similar weapons, destroy the troops who hold them. Freemasonry in the lVorlth —It is estimated by those who ought to know, that at present in round numbers, there are about 1,251',000 Free and Accepted Masons scattered upon the globe. O this number some 150,000 arc in England, 100,000 in Scotland, and 50,000 .in Ireland. There are n bout 600,000 on the eonlinen! of Eu. rope; 800,000 in the United States; and 50,000 in other parts ofthe world. In England there arc two or three thousand persons initiated every year, and the Masonic body is said to be everywhere increasing. Mr. Gcorgo Peabody, having cdu. cated his nieces and nephews, lias tlis tributed nearly £2,000,000 among them. There is some fun in being the niece or nephew of such a gener. ous old fellow as George. New Zealand has 1,000 miles of telegraph lines in operation. The next Congress will stand 128 Republicans to 35 Opposition. The cotton crop of Georgia, is rah ued at §35,000,0 0. Officers have been sent to all the principal citi is South to recruit for the regular infantry. An Important Decision. —The Gcor. gia State Convention of 1865 adopted an ordinance declaring valid private Contracts, made during the war, and authorizing the courts to adjust the equities between the parties. 'J he Su preme Court of the State has decided that this ordinance docs not impair the obligations of contracts, but authorizes the courts to construe their force anu effedtl atod determine the value of the i consideration, according to the equity sfld fbc intention of the parties.

I, Tri presenting a Seini-Weekly paper so our readers, wo do ho believing I here [exists in Thomasville a nccessTtv foi sucli a publication, and that there is a .sufficient amount of business ,es well as 'population to sustain it. Whii-o no disposition to call upon the citizens to shoulder a burden inconvenient and mprofitnhlo (or them to hear, and -vhile therefore, we have doubled the lumber of i-surs of the paper, its sub scription price is increased only one lollur, and the advertising rates a lit- file more than one-third, after two or 'three insertions. Whether the paper 'has been useful ami profitable to the C !. t !u < l n n. j]£rlJ-'i a Wetjmi, we leave Ur ti r and worth it, may have acquired, it will he o'.ir endeavor to maintain. i ho Semi-Weekly must bo sustained, if at all, chiefly by the citizens and business men ol Thomasville, and re turning our grateful thinks for their liberal patronage to the Weekly, we ■tender this new candidate for their favors. JAMES H. HAYS & CO., Beginning with the new year this firm enter our columns as candidates for public patronage, and boldly pre sent their claims, supported by indis putable facts. They tell you that they have made an important connection with tlie will known firm of TomlinStm I’emarest & Cos of New York, by which they will be supplied with the choicest and cheapest vehicles manufactured by them, at “manufacturers prices,” and that on their own part, every ar rangement lias been completed, and stock supplied, for tho manufacturing, and Repairing of vehicles of all kinds, with dispute!) and in Iho highest, per fection of the art. We, ourself, have repeatedly examined vehicles manu factured by Messers J. 11. Hayes &' Cos, and do not hesitate to say tlint we see no reason why our people should go abroad to purchase Buggies &o, while they have so good and efficient a manufuctury in their own midst. Patronize home industry by ail means ST. JOHN’S DAY. The Maronic fraternity hereabouts, celebrated the above day, which was Thursday lust, with n speech by Robert 11. Harris K.-q, a public instal lation ol officers, and a grand supper at the Court house, where n largo con course of citizens, both small and great assembled to witness the ceremonies and partake ofthe supper. The speech of Mr. Harris, was chaste elegant and well adapted to the ueen. sion. Ho acquitcd himself with much credit, and his speech would have done credit to one much older in txperienc) and knowledge of the Fra* ternity. The officers elect for the year 1867 were installed by Hon. A. 11. (lansell, act in Master, with great dignity and solemnity. After these ceremonies nil partii s docendcd to the supper room, where the Committee appointed by the Lodge, ably assisted by many ex ccllent ladies, hud prepared a repast fit for King’s and Princess Steeples of Cake, Fruit and other luxuries abounded, and the whole ornamented and beautiful. We were standing in the midst of this enchanting scenery (not eating) but admiring the elegant taste display ed all around us, when the doors flow wide open and in poured the largo au dience from above and gathered around the tables. Then commenced a havoc wc shall not attempt to describe— ile, gance banished, beauty faded and ire— — departed. ’THE NEW YEAR- The old year has passed with all its trials and tribulations, and the new conies in to begin where the other left off. Let .it not gather up in its on ward sweep tho licart burnings and evil forebodings of the discordant old year, nor bear along with the smiles ol a brightening future, the bitter remem brance ot an unsuccessful past. Let j these be buried in oblivion, and let us, dear reader, “ court dame Fortune’s gay career and try our luck again.” Let there be no quaking fears nor dark despair, because of the threats or triumphs of the wicked, tor they can neither destroy the righteous nor long enjoy the land —but rather let us re joice that, we have been found worthy to he persecuted and to suffer for the truth’s sake. If our expectations were disap pointed in the old year, cud we find ourselves a few dollars poorer to day than we expected, what ol it? 1 God, in His infinite>ercy and good ness, has not only fed and clothed, but still ..opens to us a golden future, and all Nature bids us, now in this beauti ful new year, to stretch forth our hands and grasp the blessings prepared for the worthy. “Tho Sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold,” and, of course, lie cannot expect to reap ’1 he ...... uiill pome, and go, and refresh ing showers will moisten tne carte, but if tl.c husbandman sow not the seed, there will be no groin. For our losses in the old year the new may repay us fourfold—who knows? Dili gence and industry are all that is needed. Let us be up and doing then, for “ lie that doubts is d—d,” and tho slothful will ever be behind time. — What it the Badicals do threaten to confiscate i ur property and reduce the Southern States to tl.e condition of territories? Does any sensible man believe they can do it ? If so, lie does not understand the nature of this country, nor the character peo pie. And suppose the Badicals could and would, do all t hoy threaten against the South, is that any renßot) why wc should cease to labor for the improve ment of our homes and our country ? \Vo would rather have something to confiscate than nothing, A contempt ible foe, indeed, who lias nothing of which to he despoiled. But there is no such danger hanging over the South, for tho Badicals are themselves <oo fond of gold to cutoff the source from whence it flows into their coffcfs, and when they find the South is not to be frightened into the commission of suicide, the pillars of their beloved temple will begin to rock to their foun dation. Already the columns of North ern papers teem with evidences of a growing discoid in their ranks. Let the South he quiet, industrious, obe dient to the laws, hut firm in her ho nor and integrity, and all will yet ho well. CUTIIBERT BAPTIST FE MALE COLLEGE. It, affords us pleasure to cull the nt tlTe ' curiUWo jiirtiTmn -‘hr-rniry'-in—rtc above Institution. It is represented to ho in a highly prosperous condition having a full corps of efficient teachers, among whom, her numerous friends in Thomasville, will be gratified to rec- g nize the name of Miss Cornelia A. Hansel!. This highly accomplished lady occupies the high and permanent position of Associate Principal, in the College, and this alone is sufficient to recommend the Institution to those ac quainted with herjerninciit character & abilities. The organization of tho Col lege, however, is in every respect com plete, and furnished with every con venience and facility for the accomoda tion and education ol' young ladies, and wo ohecrfuly recommend it to our friends and acquaintances. FREEDMEN AND WAGES. The Freed men in this section mani fest a decided disposition to demand higher wages for the new year, than they realized for the old, and dis heartened and annoyed farmers are be coming careless about hiring, and in clined to curtail their operation and rely upon themselves for the future Last Monday our streets wore throng ed with Freed people, who came to find employers, and everywhere groups were to he seen in earnest conversut on with farmers, seeking laborers, but lowing to the fact slated, few, we learn I succeeded in supplying their farms with hands. Freedmcn do not under stand, and of course, cannot appreciate turn s m»r circumstances. They do not see, nor will they recognize any cala mity to the white man, whether from the seasons, or the political changes of the Country. If the white man lias a house to live in and a field with a fence around it, lie is able to pay any wages, Sambo, in his discretion, may - choose to ask. They hat e spent * !hnat rons, and with it iheir money, in fun, frolic and all kinds of extravagances, ami though great numbers of thorn are still loafing about loth to hire out, yet Sambo will very shortly be obliged to go to work again or suffer for bread. NEW LAMPS. Alladin’s magic lamp was obtained by the offer of new lamps for old ones; but Dr. Win. I*.

Maj. J.J. Mash of Duncanville in this County brought to our sanctum a few da',s ago the largest Turnip we have ever seen. It was of the White Globe species measuring Thirty inches in circumference and weighed Seventeen and a half pounds. This turnip was only a sample from a large patch raised by Maj. Mlsh, and his explanation ol their Mannjiotli size, is, that he has not been troubled with Freed men, but cult - vated then! himself. Muy other far mers might derive a valuable lesson from this example, and devote more of their own xteKion to the cultivation of their crops, inyead of relying upon the uncertain!)of Freednien, Ilf any (finritv can be: t Thomas in the Turnipjinc, we should he glad to hear from V CONFEIERATE DEAD AT?

The Ga zette is publslied by Mr. A. A. Ellen wood, and edited by W. O. Giraideau, Esqr. Our esteemed friend, Maj L. C. Bryan, of the Southern Enterprise, does not, take a just view of our in tended pleasantry in noticing his zeal in behalf of the S G. & F. Railroad. We wire rougher than wo intended, hut. wo meant no offcnco. llis allusion to the good feeling existing between us and the Gulf lloud Company is, to say the least of it, unkind.

Ever since the adjournment of Con gicss last summer, Stevens has beei laboriously engaged in maturing meas ures to bn passed by tire present Con gross, in order to check mid humtliati tho President. One of his favorite measures onme up in the House las week, and recieVcd a considerable ven tilution. His proposition was that any man nominated by the President am rejected by the Senate, should be dis qualified thereby from holding any < f hoe for one year. In his eagerness ti degrade the President he failed to per oeivo that lie was realty putting the power in tho President’s hands of dis qualifying Stevens and all his friend from holding office for a year. Hale, of New York, (Hop.) m exi posing these hideous measures, said “that it put in the President’s bunds the power to put n brand on any man, and even to disqualify Mr Steven? himself for any office in the United States, by nominating him for Com inander-in-Chicf of the Army, or for Chaplain in the navy, ns the Senate would be v»ry likely to reject him ” That such a proposition should ever have been made, and more particular ly by so astute and observant a man as Stovons, is wonderful, unless we ac count for it in accordance with the logic of the old saw —“whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.” Massacre.

L Randall, of New York, author ofthe life of Jefferson, in which he expresses his earnest convictions in relation to the future of the United States. He said : It is quite plain that your govern ment will never be able to restrain a distressed and discontented majority. 1 For with you the majority is the gov- i eminent, and has the rich, who are al ways a minority absolutely ut its lncr ey. * * l| ' I seriously ap prehend that you will, in sum such season as I have described, do things which will prevent prosperity from re. turning, that you will act like a peo ple who should in a year of scarcity devour all the seed corn, and thus make the next year a year not of scarcity, but of absolute famine. There will be, l fear, spoliation. The spoliation will increase the distress. The distress will pioduce fresh spoliation. There is notliiug to stop you. Your Consti tution is all sail and no anchor. As I said before, when a society has entered on this downward progress, either civ ilization or liberty must perish. Ei ther some Caesar or Napolean will seize the reins of government with a strong hand, or your republic will be as fear fully plundered and laid waste by bar barians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire was in the fifth, with this difference. That the. Huns and Vandals, who ravaged the Roman Em pire, came from without, and that your Huns and Vandals will have bien en gendered within ytur own country by your own institutions.
