The I’resi t’s veto message argues forcibly in tense of the Constitution, and puin -g out the fearful inroads made by a bill upon the liberties of the coun . appeals with thrilling emphasis to -ugress—to the patriotism and au >rity of the Supreme Court to pause the work of destruction—to stay is flood of fanaticism and madness ich is now rolling on in one migh illow of anger, hate and revenge overwhelm the last vestige of lib •y transmitted to us by the battle rred heroes of the fifst revelation reply to this thrilling appeal of the esident, who stands as a last senti i on the watch tower of Liberty, li • -g his signal guns faithfully to the t moment, Congress hastens to pass e bill over his veto to show tlipir -vver and their contempt for the Pre dent and the Constitution.

Terrible Scenes at the Explosion of tjie Steamor David White. Colonel Donan, a passenger on the illfuted steamer David White, that blew up near Vicksburg, last week, gives the following description ot some | of flic frightful scenes that ensued : Clinging here to a shutter, there to ! a spar,*and here to a broken plank, j blackened, scalded faces arose above | the surlaee, shrieking in tone3 of ago-- !ny : “For Christ’s sake, save me !” ! “Jesus, have mercy !’’ “For God’s | sake, help me 1” We were a half mile from -either ] shore, more than half of the one hun dred and fifty of the human beings we had on board either killed outright, or, burned and maimed, struggling for life in the pitiless waters around us, and no house, no boat in sight. Great j God preserve me from ever witnessing | such an awful scene again! Our gal lant Captain, Dan Kinney, frightfully | scalded, his face and hands covered ! with blood, was clinging to a piece of j a spar some thirty yards from the ! wreck; but so badly hurt that he .see in- I ed about to sink. . THE WATER WAS NEARLY UP TO THE CABIN FLOOR. and just as 1 struck tbe guards, Mrs. Dr Bhaw, of Memphis, clasped my j arm and asked if I could save her.—l j told her not to be frightened, I thought I we Would get off, and, elimbing again jon the root, tolled on all the hands and waiters that were loft to help me launch the life.boat. The first to rcs | pond to the cpll was hue of the most : horrible sights I saw during the day ■ —a little negro hoy, and engine greas- I cr, stark naked, except a piece of a j shirt, and scalded from his waste' to' ! liie lect, till the great flukes of bloody' skin jolled . down his legs every time :be moved. He luid buhl, saying ns. -he did so: “Ah! bossy, Fso most j gone ’- I’se burnt all over, but dis boat | must get- in do river !” Heroic 4'tttle ! negro ! lie Was rescued, but they say j will die. .Just at that moment, Mr. i John 11. Triplett, the only one of Dr. | Shaw's assistants in the office who es caped reached the roof. Although | badly burned, Sis'coolness dn-l courage | did much Ibwawl saving those who i were..still on the wreck. The' first ; mate was kilted, but. Ids Secofid,’-Mr. j N. W. Moore, now reached u.h, and, , with the'help of some of the waiters | anil bands, we shoved the life-boat off. The waiter was itow' -up to-the cabin floor. Mr. Triplett and Dr. Slra,w, oue of the owners of the White, assisted | tl-o three ladies and the invalid, Mr. | Klein, into the boat. AND THEN CAME A RUSH of the panic-stricken waiters, chain* ! hermaids and deck-hands. Mr. Tvip j lett stood his ground gallantly, but, in | spite of liisyixcrtions, aided faithfully by John Ilopkin§,the colored steward the boat was -swamped in an instant and 1 found myself buttoned up in a i heavy gray cassimcrc suit, buffeting I the surges of the mighty Mississippi, i All that I saw Sifter tlris was in the j character of a “lloa'er.” As t lie life, i boat went down, Dr. Shaw and Mr. 1 Triplett, who throughout, showed the j coolne«s..of vulerajis, sucepeded, with j the aid of the steward and cook, in j getting the ladies and Mr. Klein back | on the hurricane, rool. i C.M-TAIN KlNtfky, liUItNT AND IILEE ! *• ill NO -VS HE WAS, I called lo them from the fragment of | (lie wreck, to which lie was clinging, I to “take ca.ro of the ladies !” Find , ing that iij.y heavy clothes were about ! to sink me, l siajcocdod in swiming, | I hough utterly exhausted, to a broken j spar; and now commenced a long, al j most hopeless .floating of two or three mdes in the icy water Several sank around mo ; several diml of cold ! As, wholly- powerless, 1 drifted past | Tom. one of the • negro waiters,*lre j clutched at my spar; it was so round j that the slightest.touch rolled it over, i and feeling that I had become too j numbed to regain my position, I or | dered him to keep off. We soon us ! forward caught a floating door, and 1 was soon after taken out, nearly dead ! with cold, two or threQ miles below. | A few minutes afterward, ' THE LIFEBOAT, BOTTOM UPWARDS, floating by within about twenty yards -of mo, with four fellows sitting strad dle of the sharp edged keel, and bal aneing themselves ns c.-n-e fully ns tight rope performers. 1 asked them why they didn’t turn her over and get in ; they said there was a man hanging ou ' fueti side, so near gone that they would drown if they had to let go. They both died of cold a short distance be low. The four ou the keel were af terwards rescued. The main wreck was all this time drifting down, not more than a hundred yards above mo. Dr. Bhaw and Triplett, calm and col lected, encouraged the ladies mid oth: ers who remained on the roof. * The laeies all tin- way behaved like heroines—not a screim was heard from one of them not as much terror shown during Our greatest danger ns 1 have seen sentimental misses exhibit if a Moses-liko old cow changed to turn her head towards them. At the time our life-boat sunk, ono of our “down Tv.iSt’’ brethren rushed up t-> Mrs.dßhaw, caught her by the hand and beggqd her to sure Jtiml She told him to shut his mouth and keep his senses, and h.effl be raved when they all were. I had been in the freezing water some half or three-quar ters of an hour; 1 felt myself slowly but surely becoming insensible, and had almcst arrived at tire conclusion that my last hour had eomo. 1 order ed a-fellow who was swearing among sanie-drjjt just below me to ‘ dry up’ bis sinfulness, ami was, perhaps, just talking up mv mind as to whether 1 bad entirely forgiven all my enemies —iq fact I Was just about to say, “Now I lay me down to sleep.’’ and roll off my log. Who are Affected by the Amend ment. It is believed our people do not gen erally understand who aro affected by the Constitutional Amendment and oxclwded iroin office,, and from tho ballot-box by tho late bill. The followirg persons aro excluded. Ist. All persons who, before the war, were members of Ottugrcss or officers of tho United States and took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and afterwards en gaged in the rebellion. 2nd. All per sons who, prior to the war, \yere ex ecutive, legislative, or judicial officers of the State and took the like oath-, and engaged in tho rebellion. This embraces 4fovernors, members of the legislature and judicial officers from a Judge of tho Supreme Court down to a Justice of the Peace, who, at any time held tho office and took the oath and afterwards engaged in the rebell ion. Who then aremot excluded.’!' Ist. No one is excluded because he held an office under the’Confcdorate States from President down, ts lie does not fall within one of the excluded classes above specified. The simple fact that he was a Confederate Senator or a Confederate General, or that ho took an oath to support the Constitution oT the Confederate States, does not ex clude him. 2nd. No State or county officer is excluded on account of bis having held the office and taken the oath and engaged in the rebellion, if ho wore not an executive, legislative or judicial 'fleer, therefore, neither a lawer, sher iff, clerk, tax collector, receiver, coun ty treasurer, coroner, surveyor, con stable or road commissioner is cxc-lu d&L Bid. As no man, under twenty one -years of age, when the war began, held any such otliee as disqualified, and none of them took tbe oath to support the Constitution of the Uni ted States -during tli • war, and as the war commenced nearly srx years ago, no man in Georgia uniter 27 years ul age can bo excluded. 4th. Milifia officers are not exclu ded. sth. .The y-Jiolc _ iari -s of our peo ple, who fall within none of the ex cluded classes abovcMnentimied, aro free fil-ta the disqualification, and may j vote arid hold any office in the State without regard ,t-- the part they took - in the. wig Atlanta. [The above facta have been prepar* ed lbr the Urn by one of tbe first le. gal minds in the South, and wo accept ils statements as critically- correct. — Hn.

Tho “Amendment’ in Massachu setts. The following special to the Now York Tribune shows how much the South lias to expect from the tender j consideration of the Northern Radi i cals, even if she adopts the Constitu tional Amendment. Boston,’ March 1 —The Committee on-Federal Relations of* tic Legisla-. ture, made a report to-Jay J n the ques tion of the amendment to the Uousti | tution of the United State?, The ma ! jority of tho Committee,. fouj in num ber, recommend that it be referred to tbe next Legislature, and tbe minority numbering three, urge its adoption, and the passage of the following : Resolved, That in acting upon the 14th article of the ameiiduients to tho Constitution proposed by the | XXXIXth Congress as a measure of reconstruction, MassachugHts denies tile right of any Republicm Govern, incut, to abridge the exer:ise’of the elective franchise by rcasoi of race or color; or to irnnose any qua’ification of voting which is not applitablc to all men and surmountable by all men.— j That she is opposed to the creation of ! j new States and Rio reorganizing of j States lately in rebellion, on any other basis than universal suffrage, and that the proposed an.end incut cannot be considered by her as si finality, but | merely as an advanefig step in the | work of reconstruction and a joart of ! that admirable system lecontly adopted by Congress, by which the social and j civil condition of the revoked States i .is to be elevated to the standard of | true Republican Governments.
