We commend, for the serious reflections of those persons in the South, who urge the acceptance of "the provisions of the militaiy bill tho following para graph : “Though a nation maybe bought and sold, deceived or betrayed, op pressed or beggared, and in every oth ct sense uudono, all is not lost, as long as a sense of national lionor survives the .general ruin. Even an individual cannot be crushed by events or over whelmed by adversity, if, in the wreck and ruin of his fortune, the character of the man remains unblemished.— That force is clastic, and, with the help of resolution, will raise him again out of any depth of calamity. But if the injured sufferer, whether it be a great or little community, a number of individuals or a single person, be content to submit in silence, and to endure without resentment—if no complaints shall bo uttered, no mur mur shall be heard, deploratum cut— there must be something celestial in the spirit that rises from that descent.” If these sentiments are true, [and who can show the contrary ?] is it to be wondered at, that the opponents of the military bill are uow making earn est and loud complaints against the harshness of its provisions and the self-abasemont it imposes upon our people ? If they are true, with what degree of dignity, manliness or since rity can any Southern man support the measure or favor its accc[ tanco ? No, no, gentlemen, if wo lose our honor we lose all. The military bill demands that wc sacrifice our honor and character to atone for our “rebel lion.” If we accept the proposition, ourselves, our children and grand children will drink the bitter and nau seating draughts of tyranny and op pression for generations to come.— Eufaula News.

True to Ills threat Thad Stevens has introduced his bill in Congress for general confiscation. It was, how ever, postponed to the second Tuesday in December next, and those who have had their fears aroused, may now rest in peace tor a little seuson. Most of our exchanges regard this postpone ment as a death blow to the confisca tion scheme, but they may be mista ken. If the Radicals eontinue to prosper, and the South does not, by some means, pnt them in a good hu mor during the interval, Mr. Thaddeus Stevens will most assuredly call up his idol, the Confiscation Bill, on the second Tuesday in December, provided that irate individual is still a living inhabitant cf this mundane sphere. We think the Radicals are anxious to adjourn, now that they have passed the supplemental bill, to watch quietly the conduct of the South under tho pressure. They will be much disap pointed if these States are speedily reorganized under the Sherman Mili tary Bill, for they have no desire that the President shall thus su< Mealy raise up a legion of friends, where now j he has none, and they had calculated J upon the haughty pride of the South ! rejecting in every shape the unconsti tutional provisions of the Sherman bill. They made it as odious to the I South as they possibly could, in view I of the fact, that there was a Constitu tion in the land, in order that it might be exceedingly difficult to take. This difficulty would guiti time—the Presi dent’s term of office would expire be fore reconstruction took place, and a Radical President, mean time, would be elected in his place. Lest the South should, however, in the long interval, undergo a change, and be coming alarmed at impeachment, con fiscation, &c., and hasten to co operate | with the military authorities, and thus quickly make her appearance in the halls of Congress, and, consequently, in the arena of the Presidential eloc tion, the Supplemental bill was gotten up and shielded with an oath, calcu lated to disfranchise and neutralise all the intelligence of ‘ the South. Thus protected against tho possibility of re bel contamination, or rebel interfer. cnee in their schemes, tho Radicals will shortly return home, satisfied that they have every arrangement now com plete, for carrying out their schemes of future ambition and power. Wc are not sure but that the best policy for the South is to take tho oath pre scribed, whatever it may be, and come back into the Union at the earliest possible day to defeat those schemes. OUR MERCHANTS. Undismayed by the threatening as pect of our poluical affairs, some of our Mcrchauls giave laid in superb stocks of dry goods, and the fine fab rics glitter as numerously upon their shelves, ns in the most tranquil and prosperous times. Sumo of the Mer chants evidently uct upon the princi ple, that the money will bo Npcnt us extravagantly in difficult and threaten ing times as in any other, and they are about half right.

[For the Semi Weekly Southern Enterprise ] Dear Major : —I was glad to learn from your columns, that the cause of temperance has been somewhat revived in your town, and that the Rev. John W. Mills delivered an address on the subject that told well on the congre gation, and a goodly number came for ward and signed the pledge, and a so ciety was organized. All honor to brothel Mills —h<j is the man to make his mark for good, wherever he goes and I hope that he will continue in his journeying® among the people for use fulness, to advocate publicly, and pri vately (he causp of jfoßipe ranee, mil tq proclaim perpetual warfare against fbe vice that wars more successfully against the cause of Christ than any other vice nrfw prevalent in our land. Thq reading of the proceedings of the meeting, as published in the En terprise, calk-d up in my mind many oi the past.— In hess than a score of years ago, there was in your town, with a much smaller population than at present exists there, a very fair showiug of firm and un flinching friends and advocates of the cause. Besides a very respectable number composing tho order of the boos of Temperance, there was a so ciety of some eighty members, male and female, who held Stated meetings, heard speeches from advocates of the cause, and exerted ah iutttunroeto keep men sober and to pgt down as far as was possible the vice of drunkenness Some of these laborers in the cattefo, have gone to their reward on high, i o more to bless the world with their counsels and example, and 1 nsu glad to know that their mantle has fallen on one so worthy to wear it as our brother Mills. The name of the la mented P P. Smith, oneo alionc pro minent for good, among the order there and elsewhere, and there, the names of Potter, Bedell, Choioo and others, were active advocates for the cause; giving a living example of the I fact, that alcoholic drinks, re a bever j age, was not necessary to the human ! system in any form. | Some good men oppose Icffipo-anee organizations, because aouig .w II not : keep the pledge, and for other reason* !as futile as the one stated. It islrue, that all wh6 sign the pledge do not keep it; but is this a good ground of objection ? Is it any reason why any man who desires the good of society in general, should withhold bis itiflu cnee from a eauso so closely united with the destiny of man ? Because uien will be drunkards, shall we cease in our to save any ? If this be so, then we may close up the doors of •all the pulpits in our land, for there are those belonging to every religious sect, who dishonor the name and bring reproach upon the beat of all causes. And, again, does it do no good to keep the inebriate sober but for a short time only ? To dry the wife’s tears, and brighten the prospects of his children, if it be but for a few short years, is a good that we should be glad to ac complish, if no more can bo dofto. — For the time being he is n sober man, giving gladness and contentment to the social hearth, injuring thus fur ono of the most unholy traffics that our laws tolerate —the salo of ardent spirits. The measure of her wo is indeed full, whose husband is a drunkard. Who shall protect her, when ho is her insulter, Ji«r oppressor? What shall delight her when she shrinks from hie presence and trembles at the sound of his voice? Nothing! To her the - past is all regret, and tho future all j dark and dreary ; and for tho sake j aloqe" of these suffering but iunoceiit victims oflho curse pf intemperance, ! every good man should be willing, i both by prreept and example, to do all in his power To stay the hand ol the destroyer in his onward march to ruin. Christian brethren, patriots and phi- | lanthropists, where are you ? We can j sometimes sharpen and burnish our weapons against each other in defence of our various creeds. Should we not > unite our energies to put down the foe that wars with all our .creeds ? Does not humanity answer yes, and the voice of our holy religion unites iu tones of love, speaking through the j oraeles of divine truth, answers yea— do alt you can, for tint curse of intern I pcranco stalks abroad at noonday, the dram drinker and tho dram toller to. , gether are bold, and their boldness ] should awaken in tho hearts of the 1 friends .of tho eauso everywhere, cor responding efforts to despoil them of their intended success. Again 1 gay, well done brother Mills, and L hope our brother Onsloy,. who is to succeed him, w ill be success ful in pulling down the strongholds reared to injure mankind, not inly in Tiiomasville, but everywhere iu our i once happy laud.

The Mouse went into committee of the whole on the million relief bill for the South. Mr. Butler offered his amendment as a substitute that all persons owning one hundred and sixty acres of land, or enjoying an income of over BGOOU, be taxed by the Gen eral of the District for the support of the po r r.

I •—.The Cincinnati Commercial, a rabid Kewublican paper, has -the following , from Wash iuerton : “ The public have not yot been gra tified with a glimpse of the immense mass of testimony taken bv the Judi ciary Committee on the subject of itu i penohmtmt, but it"is vqlfy lair to pre t some that it is for the most part bosh I and nonsense, else we should have : had a different report of tbd progress [ from that made on the night before the close of the session. “The committee hal been iu session almost day and night f’flr two months. It had examined every witness sog geeted by the. etenfi- sos the IV,ii dent. It had sent far men in New • Orleans, and every other part of the country. One of itJ members—Judge Lawrence —had gone on a secret miss ion to Canada, to take testimony there. He boasted when he was about to ! start thathe would bring h ick evidence enough to oonvjct the President, if all c\oo /ailed. | “What ho did bring back is not known to the outside world, but as it is contained in what, taken together,' did not, in the opinion of the commit, toe, furoish sufficient grounds for im , peach men f, it may be concluded that it dosen’t amount to rarch. The Pc tft re 'Foi cdiaihocCi/.-y \\’c take the following paragraph from (lie Richmond Times ol the l'ith Inst: Newer before have our citizens been subjected to such insults as they re ceii«d on yesterday from the nejfo jnddiers that arrived here on Saturday. !i iliff. -rent sections of the city *hcy were fighting among themselves or with other negro or white sell lie re, brandishing tlieis pistols and bayonets, ('tightening ladies and children, and in many instances endangering their lives. But tho crownii.g insult was that offered to the (general Assembly. About half-past two o’clock a squad of about twenty of lire negro soldiers, with closed ranks and bayonet in sheath, and commanded by a burly negro, marched around the Capitol building in which tho Legislature was in session. As they passed around they vociferously cheered for the Union and the Shellabarger bill, and frequently shouted, “ if you had ac cepted the constitutional amendment, you would not be out here iu the cold.’’ A Rebuke. —Thy House of Repre sentative* has passed the resolution of thanks to Mr. Peabody. While it was being considered in committee of the tv hole, Mr. Harding made an effort to ! have the danse providing for a gold medal stricken out, but his proposition j found no supporters. lie made an effort to excite the prejudices iff' the Radicals, by intimating that Mr. Pea body’s sympathies wore with the re- ! hellion during the late war. llis words 1 evidently had no effect, for the bill passed the House without a division, < and excepting Mr. Harding’s one vote, ’ there was not one against it in com mittee of the whole.

It is well known to newspaper rea ders that nearly or quite the whole press of the Southern States have urged upon the planters the propriety and necessity of raising more provis ions if they had to ourtail the cote-m crop to doit. We have no etoubfrthls unanimous appeal oi the press to the planters has had a contrary effect to jlmt-. intended. Many plants *, be ftefeif g .fiat this strong appeal to them cultivate grain instead of sot ton would be heeded by others, and that consequently there would be less cot. ton and more grain planted tnan last year, determined to p!*ut more cotton. This rule we believe has been adopted by thfe planters generally. From all that wc can hear, there will be a much larger crop a of cbfton and less corn planted this. yea 4 thgn last. Conse quently, wo may look out, if the sea son is good, for a fall in the pries -of cotton and a rise in the price if corn. ■ If such a system of farming does not bring distres imd poverty and ruin up on the country, all history and expo ricrfte 1* a Cheat and a lie. The attachment which some uien feel towards cotton bales is a species of ido'atry —they literally worship them. But God in ullages has pun. islred idolatry of evey kind. South' ern planters should remember that by the tiin * the next ootton crop is picked out, in all probability, the country w-H bo swarming with military officers, who will he’governed by uo law hut their own will. These men have a .great affection for. cotton bales, and will be quite likely to appropriate a few of them to their own use. They will have the power and will not be long in finding an excuse. We Would ask our planters sincerely, if they would like to raise cotton for our ntili tarv rulers? They will not be likely to selfce upon provisions. They do not want usto starve. They arc sen ding provisions*now to keep us from starving. They want us to live to make cotton fop them: Let us kp care furl how we starve the poor, im poverish ourselves and oflend.God, for the sake of raising cotton to enrich military officers. —Federal Union. The Next Presidency. A writer at Washington, who knows whereof he speaks, sends the following Residential paragraph to the New York Express. The speculation* are quite plausib'e, and worth reading : Nominatipns for the next Presidency will be made during tho existence of the present Congress, and the men who compose if will have a great deal to tlo in seketirfg the candidates. — Aheady the Radical leaders have be gun to talk the matter over, and each IJouae contains at least one prominent aspirant Tor that high position. In ad dition to those, there is Chief Justice ; Chase, of the Supreme Court, who i wuuM resfgn Umodiwit to run lor tile Presidency. A certain clique of the , Radical organization favor Grant, hut | as that officer is not generally believed | to be sound on the Radical plat form, i l apprehend that he will be j emitted j to remain, indefinitnly at the head of j thrauny Ben Wade and Mr. Speaker ] Colfax arc known to have an eye on ! tbe,White House. There is » little j evening pitpo'r in this city, which will ; iti duo time, hoist tho name of Colfax i for the Presidential succession in 18CS, and all the qne-jiorso sheets in tho West are expected to re-echo the norni | nation. * This aspiration on tho part of the 1 worthy Speaker of tho House is not mw, by :Hiy means. If Lincoln lia-1 J lived he would probably have advised j his nomination, at least it is so claimed |by some of Colfax’s friends. Nothing I will bo done toward admitting the Southern Statos to representation until after the approaching Presidential ' election, and this is uow pretty , well I understood all over the country? The aimith may accept the terms proposed by the Sherman bill and may reorgan j ize her State Governments in perfect good faith, but sho will be kept out of | Congress and out of tho electoral col • lege until after the 4th of March, 1861). The election of a Radical candidate for the Presidency would net he an easy job, with the electoral vote of the South' to overcome, and therefcro it is quite a matter of course that the party will take care to exclude that vote, no matter how obedient anil submissive the Southern States may bo for the next two years. Waterworks Aneiout & Modern. The Aqua Marti* of Rome is des i eribed as thirty-eight miles in length, j and, supported on seven thousand j | arches, and, in conjunction with other aqueducts which the r-itv possessed, it < supplied diflly 812,0*0,000 gallons ol 1 water, or abut! 312 gallons for each j inhabitant.

Another is projected pear th® High Bridge te contain about 10,006,000 gallons. We have not at hand any statement ol the cost of the additional works, but it has probably reached a pital of $ 15,000,000. The interest and a gradifal sinking fund is paid by the water rates. The tax is ten dollars a year for a house of the average si*e. — The Brooklyn water works were con structed under the direction of J. P. Iviikwood, Chief Engineer, who re cently made a purvey.i'ot extending the Cincinnati waterworks. The aque duct receives its supply from various ponds, spring! and short' streams, the most distant one being thirteen miles from tho reoeiviflj* nfserVoir. Being confined t* tho nearly level surfuec of Long Island, the water has to be ele vated by pumping. The aqueduct is sufficient to. deliver forty million gal lons a day, hut is arranged for twen'y millions. The da ly consumption in 1804 was 8,285,000 with a population of about 200,000.
