General Order# from Gen’l Pope on Assuming Command of the Third Military District. Headuabtkks 3rd Military Div., Montgomery, Ala., April 1, 1867. General Orders, No. 1. In compliance with General Orders, No. 18, dated Headquarters of the Army, March 15, the Third Military District, which comprises the States of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The District of Georgia and Ala bama will remain as at present consti tuted, and. with their present comman ders, except that the Headquarters of the District of Georgia will be forth with removed to Milledgeville. The District of Key West is hereby tnerged into the District of Florida, which will be commanded by Col. John T. Sprague, 7th U. S. Infantry. The Headquarters of tho District of Florida are removed to Tallahasse, to which place the District Commander will transfer his Headquarters without delay. I. The civil officers at present in of fice in Georgia, Florida and Alabama, will retain their offices until the ex piration of their terms of servioe, un less otherwise directed in special cases, so long as justice is faithfully aod im partially administered. It is hoped that no necessity may arise for inter position of the military authorities in the civil administration, and such necessity can only arise from the failure of the civil tribunals to protect the people, without distinction, in their rights of person and property. 11. It is to be clearly understood, however, that the civil officers thus retained in office shall confine them selves strictly to the performance of their official duties, and whilst hold, sng their offices they shall not use any influence whatever to deter or dissuade the people from taking an active part in reconstructing their State Govern ments, under the act of Congress to provide for the more efficient govern ment of the rebel St-tes and the act supplementary thereto. 111. No election will be held in any of the States comprised in this Milita ry District', except such as arc provi ded for in this act of Congress, and in manner therein established, but all vacancies in civil offices which now exist, or which may occur by expira tion of the terms of office of the pres ent incumbents, before the prescribed .Registration of voters is completed, will be filled by apppointr.icnt of the General commanding the District. John Pope, Major General Commanding. Progress of the Civil Revolution. Just before the war closed, Mr. Lincoln himself proposed, ss the terms of settlement, merely the restoration of the union and the abolition of sla very. After the surrender both he and Mr. Johnson required, ss the ex tent of their demands, an oath of the Southern population to accept the res toration of the union, and to abide by the emancipation proclamation. Pres ently more was required. It was inr sisted that every Southern State should do three things; ratify the constitutional amendment abolishing the Confederate debt, and repeal the ordinance of secession. “If they will do this,” said the New York Timet in December, 1805, “ we do not believe there will be fifty votes in congress apainst the admission oi their representatives.” This was the very utmost. After some delay it was all dooe. Presently we were required to pass laws permitting the negroes to testify in the eourti. This was algo done. The next step was the civil lights bill. Then eatue the freedmeu’s bu reau bill. All this time every Southern man, with trivial exceptions, was absolutely excluded from Congress, from the fed eral courts, from every federal office, even where that office was located in their midst. The next step was to refuse admis sion into Congress of even the repre sentatives who could t.kc the test oath. All this while, back taxes and cur rent taxes, such as wero never heard of even in England, wero collected from a country litterally blasted by war, and stripped absoluiely of every thing but the land. At this moment there is no currency in the South, and thousands arc tarnishing for bread. Presently they demauded, without attracting much attention at the time, qualified suffrage for the negroes.— The extremists soon widened this into a demand for universal suffrage. The Louisiana bill, passed by a two thirds vote in the house of representa tive's actually does give universal suf frage, with this qualification—the whites are excluded from the ballot— the state of Louisiana is just handed over exclusively to the negroes. Along with this, passed also by a vote within a fraction of two thirds, comes the military bill, handing over the rest of the South to martiul law, until further orders. This reads like romance, but it is reality—as real an the terrible march of the French revolution.— Chariot' tsville Chronicle. f- ....... .... 'IH Revolution in Hayti. Ha vana, March 28.-~Tbe long expected revolutionary outbreak has at last taken plaoe in Hayti, and the efforts of the insurgents have been crowned with jiuceess. The city of Port-au-Prhce is in their hands, and the people are £ing in their adhesiou to the new vernment. After several days’ fighting in the vicinity of the capitol, nearly all of Geffrard’s troops went over to the enemy, and President Gef frard himself was compelled to take refuge on board of a French man-of war, which at last accounts was carry ing him and some of his officers to Ja main.

We have but little space at present to oontinne our “ Short Chat for the Colored People,” but we will use that to-day, in cautioning them against the traducers of their Southern white friends. Your friend is that person who feels a deep interest in your wel fare, sympathizes with you in misfor tune, aids you under difficulties, and encourages you with good advice. — When you know one who feels and acts thus toward you, give heed to no one who would slander and attempt to rob your friend of his good name. Honorable and truthful men never go behind the backs of others to accuse them of wrong, but they always meet them openly and boldly, face to face You may well fear the motives of that individual who must load you off to a secret spot, to communicate to you # the budget of wonderful good things he may have to state. Such an one “has an axe to grind ” —he is going to make use of you to advance his interests or his party. Shun him if you would not be made bis dupe, for be will sor«ly lead you into trouble. If he tells you that your friend is a liar and will lie to deceive you, be sure that he is trying to destroy your confidence in your friend, that he may get the firmer hold upon yon. Beware of such. GEN. POPE’B ORDER. Our exchanges generally, speak in favorable terms of Gen. Pope’s first order upon assuming command of the Third Military District, which we pub lish to-day, and aeeua to anticipate that the rigor of the Sherman Military bill, will be mitigated by the mild execu tion of its provisions. For ourself, we have to say, that it seems to be as mild as the nature of the circumstances will Ecrinit, but with all due tespcct to our iilitary commander, wc must say, that history furnishes few instances, where Military despots foreshadowed in tbeir first public acts, the rigor with which they meant to characterize their ulti mate measures. Gen. Pope may be a mild and clever gentleman, aod so with the rest of* the Southern satraps, but the Radicals meant the Sherman bill to be i severe punishment to the South ern people, and if the Generals cbosea do not execute it accordingly, they will be displaced in due time. Os coarse, they do not wish to disorgaa. ize the South and throw everything into confusion, but every vestige of State Sovereignty, end with it, South ern influence and power, is to be toot, ed oat. This done, Radical R'puUi eanism is established throughout the country, and the Radical Congress will breathe easy. THE MINSTRELS ARE COMING! YVe take pleasure in stating that Mr. B. Z.

W. Jen sinus Devo res*, 473 Broadway, N. Y. Interesting Military Correspon dence-Gen. Grant Against Re moval of Southern Governors. Washington, April 6. The Secre tary of War has submitted to the Pre sident, a correspondence between Gen erals Grant and Sheridan re-rarding removals. A special to the Baltimore Sun says, General Griffin recommends the removal of Governor Throckmor ton of Texas. General Sheridan agrees with him, and suggests the removal of the Governor of Louisiana. General Grant, in reply, doubts tho General’s power to remove Govetnors. and thinks removals must be made by Congress, or after trial under the sixth section. Injunction against the Military Re construction Act. —The Baltimore Sun understands that application will short ly be made to the United States Su preme Court, in tho names of the States of Mississippi and Alabama, and such other States as may become parties to the cause, to enjoin all pro ceedings to subject the people of those States to military rule under the re cent act of Congress, because it will inflict irreparable injury on sail peo ple, and for other rcaions. The case j will be conducted, it is said, by Judge ! Sharkey, of Mississippi, and Charles I O'Connor, Ksq., of New York. Tho I Jackson Mississippi®!! says tlijjt Gov. Humphreys has given the requisite authority on the part of the Slate of Mississippi. This will account for the protracted absence of Governor Jenkins in Wash, ington and New York, and his remark able reticence at a time when the peo ple of the State are so anxiously wait ing for his counsel and advice. Injunction Against the Military Bill Asked for. Washington,- April 5. In the Su preme Court to-day", Judge Sharkey gave notice of a motion for a prelim inary injunction against Andrew John son, Pres.dent, und General Old, Com mander of the Military District com prising Mississippi, and stated that tho motion was founded on a bill of equity which ho possessed, to file, and was brought by the State of Mississippi as complainant against the parlies named to enjoin them from executing the acts ol Congress, recently passed, on lied the Military and the Supplemental bills. Attorney General Stanberry sug gested that, as it was a ease involving the original jurisdiction of the Court, the motion in the first place should be for leave to file tho bill. Judge Sharkey acquiesced, and said tho counsel tor tho Stute of Mississippi would now make tho motion for leave to file tho bill, and wore now ready to argue it. The Attorney General said he contended that tho bill, iu so far as it purported to make the President a party defendant, was in effect a suit against the United States, ho would thereierc object to leave being given by the Court to file the bill, and ho further stated that he also was ready now to go into argument of the motion. The Chief Justice, alter consulta tion, stated that the motion for leave to file tho bill might be made and put on tho motion docket, hut in conform ity with the rules of tho Court, tho argument would not be heard until the next regular motion day. This motion will, therefore, oomo up on Friday next. Taking au Early Start. —A Wash, ington correspondent writes: “ The first application foi removal for disa bility, tinder the third section of tho constitutional amend moot , comes from James L. SewHrd, of South-Western Georgia, formerly member of Congro.-s from that State, whose memorial was laid before the United States Senate on the 29th ult.’’ And that before the amendment has been adopted as part of the Constitution! Weaver, a ci lorcd man of Cincinnati, lias removed to Nash ville, and assigns as his reason that the prejudice against the blaoks is so great in Ohio that he oould not remain there withoot losing bis self respect Briok Pomeroy's Advice. M. M. Pomeroy, Esq. (Brick) de livered an address to a large audience, in Macon last week. We give a few pointed extracts from his speech as given by the Journal 3c Messenger. In January I left the ice-bound funaticised North to visit tho Southern States or territories, so called, and tp learn by travel, patient enquiry and close observation, the sentiments of the people here both white and black, civil and military; with the wants, sufferings, rosoureos, and capacities of the pecple and their plantations, and to learn if the reports started by the Southern loyalists, negroswindling ad venturers and Yankee school-marms, be true or false. God cursed Egypt with lice-~~the orisrinul “Southern loy alists’’—more filthy and loathsome than other vermin, but lovable beyond words, in comparison to the political vermin which for joy come into the Northern States, crawling and biting their way into the passion excited brain of fanatics and narrow minded people there abounding. The result of my observations so far strengthens my preconceived opin ion of their falsity and of. your patri otism, earnestness of desire for peace, and a heartfelt willingness to vie with all good citizens every where in devo tion to the true principles of Govern ; ment, the Constitution, the Union, j and the domestic tranquility cnce the j joy of oar common land, before fanat j icisru strangled liberty and stole both laws aud that which laws protected, | property both publio and private. Indeed I am surprised to find so j much order, quietness and regard for i law and order in the South as 1 now I -la. Life and property is more secure in the seven Southern States I have I traveled in, except Tennessee, where j the impious Brownlow and his baud of j co-thicves rule to ruin, than in most [ parts of the North. There are fewer | robberies in the South than iQ the North. There is less drunkenness, less vice and less coarse-tongued 1 brawling here than there. There is less stealing here than in the North, if we exeept the Northern men here who arc stealing from tho poor blacks, the poor whites of the south, and the yet poorer government iu which we all have a common interest, and to which wc must yeld the same support. I find many, good, honesty eonseient’ous men from the North—would to God, I could say that all Northern men in I the South were of the same class, and I tliat all Northern men hire had the | courage, the patriotism, the honesty, 1 the manhood and common sense to mind their own affairs and not seek ; to worry and persecute those not able, ! from the chain of circumstances sur. rounding them, to speak for them. ! selves. * * * * * Long before the war you had be come rich. Y'ou wero a law loving, prosperous people. Y’ou had beauti ful homes, were surrounded by domes tic institutions, protected to you by I law—you had beautiful res donees, large plantations, happy families and f all the comforts of life. You had wealth which excited the cupidity of ! New England. Y'ou were growing in gretness — you excited her fears. Westward the star of empire was pointing its way to millions of poorYneu from other lands, and in the future New England saw the haunts of deer on the broad pra iries of the great West broken in upon and dotted by the thousands oi' homes which there mark from year to year the increase of life, of jJuek and mus cle. The interesis ot the West and the South wire identical, as they were the pnxkicers, while New England manufactured. The idea of the origi nal partnership was grand, but tin; ar rogance of the smaller interest must war upon that which was its greater greatness lor the future. New England must divide the West from the South. She charged you with uristocracy. She cited to yi ur huppy slaves. She filled tho land with lies wrought into seeming truth by the meddlers she sent here. She eduoated the ignorant of the North to hate you; she printed millions of tracts in other languages than her own and soattered them in foreign lands at the feet of those who were girding on their loins for the long travel. As the immigrants camp here on crowded shi|s they passed tho listless hours, reading*of our so-charged atrocities, an-i learned from New England to hate you with all the bitterness of honest ignorance aad-oousoicirtiousnoss abhor rence of slavery. And when these men landed on our shores they swore ullogiatico to the proud old banner of j which ono of your brave Southern - poets wrote the “ Star Spangled Ban. ner, ” and they believed to war upon that, flasf was troasoh to be punished | by death. v * s- * * Tho element which New England taught to hate you is in turn hating her. The war broke down a Southern aristocracy, which was evenly taxable ; it has created a non-taxahl- aristocracy in the North—a cold blooded arisiie racy of bond holders, who are living from tho cantinas of the poor foreign era of the West aud tho freed negroes of the South, who taxed on the cotton they raise to support bond holders of New England, and who, I am glad to know, are already in favor ot a general repudiation of all war debts. Negro suffrage will be the feather which will break the back of the New England camel, and that, at no distant day. Aud let me tell you how to renew tho war on New England : Erect Cot ton factories here. Manufacture that which you raise, llad I uiy way, 1 would blight every cotton field of ihe South fob the next five years, till the rust aloud as thmk on New England cotton mills ns tho blood was on Southern battle-fields. Plant corn.— I’lant more corn. Subsist your owu people. Stop the long trains of cotton going North. Stop sending West for corn. Erect batteries of spindles, lor they are more feared in New England than all the bayonets in the world. Let your ladies refuse to buy Yan kee trinkets for every one of them is tinted with the blood of brave men who died fighting for tbeir homes and loved ones’. Wlmn your cotton fields refuse to yield, New England trembles. We of the West are thus caring for our interest, and time adds to the music of our machinery. And then educate your negroes. Be kind to them. Help them to learn. Deal liberally with them, for they aro of groat use to you, and of no use to us in the North. A wonderful quantity of sense in the above, and the West will yet make issues that will make New England tremble. Nc.w England should make haste to make friends of the South, her only financial salvation. Great events are maturing in the womb ol the fature. — Rec. Supremo Court to be Disregarded The New York Times openly pro claims the intention* of the Republi cans to disregard-the decision of the Supreme Court, should it be against them on the reconstruction bills, and to go into open rebellion against the law as pronounced by that t-ody. It says, in referring to the movements of Southern Goverriors to test the consti tutionality of their laws: “ Its (the South’s) pride may be gratified by a legal assault npon the policy of Congress, but only incorrigi ble fools can suppose that policy will be materially hindered, or on any pending question reversed, by an ap peal to the Courts. The refusal of Judge Martin, of the Superior Court of B-ltitnore, to grant tho injunction, prayed for by the Maryland Radicals, to prevent the meeting, of the State Convention, proceeds on the hypothe sis that the Convention is a political body of which the State Legislature ha-1 proper and exclusive cognizance. By a parity of reason, and with the precedent of the decision in the “Dorr rebellion” case to sustain it, the Su preme Court may not unreasonably be > expected to disclaim jurisdiction in, the premises. At any rule, the fact | is incontestibht, that Congress has ab : solute mastery over the By no appeal to the Courts, ly up quibble jof lawyers, no combination or ef frontery of Southern p- liliciuns, can I this fact be everoome. A denial of it | theoretically will not affect it practi ! cully. And the supremacy of Congress will continue, despite petitions for in junctions or' averments of unconstitu tionality. Its power to carry out its will is already assured. Neither the j President nor the lawyers can compel its admission of Southern representa tives, its acknowledgment of State Governments which it has decreed provisional, or its abatement of ou-kio to of the conditions which it has im posed upon the South, i Here we have it openly proclaimed j that the will of the majority is the i supreme law and that the majority has | made arrangements to carry out its will, by force if necessary. Have the Radicals really an understanding with Gen. Grant and tiie.avtny that the lat ter will joiu them in this act of rebel lion? — Macon. Telegraph.

Maryland-Radical Movements Mi\ Brooks’ Speech- The committee of the Maryland Radical Convention called on Speakor Cal fax and Vice President Wade on Thursday,, and were encouraged to proceed in their opposition to the le. gal authorities of the State. A Mr, Rogers has prepared a bill of injunc tion to prevent the proper officers from holding an election for a convention. Mr Colfax was severely handled by several members for having such stuff as the proceedings of a Radical meet* ting read to the House. “Mr. Brooks remarked that if be had not, long since, adopted tbo Hv>- rati an maxim of nit mdmirari he would have been astonished at the ex traordinary presentation of a partisan memorial in this House, and at tho still more extraordinary speech of the geuiletran from Maryland against his own State constitution. Mr. 1> pro ceeded to show that the same inequ -1* ity of representation existed in the States of Maine ami Connecticut; that by the gerrymandering process in l’> nnsylvania au i other States the ma jority was cheat'd of its representa tion ; and that real republican foims of governments existed in no State As to Tcfincssce and Missouri, there waa no more republieaaiam there than there existed under the Pasha of Kgypt or ?h« Sultao cf Turkey.— There was no republicanism represen ted even in tho Senate ot the United States. It was a body existing in ut ter defiance of all republican forms of government; and he expected the gen. tleman from Maryland (Mr. Thomas), when he had suoceeded in reforming the affairs of lire own State, to intro duce a proposition to abolish the Uni ted States Senate. The State ot Ne braska, with a population not one fifth of the number that are found every day under ground in the First Ward of the city of New York, attending to their daily business, had an equal rep resentation in the Senate with Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Y’ork.— The proposition of the gentleman from Maryland would amount to an over throw and subversion of the whole structure of the government, aconsol idation and despotism of the worst kind, utterly repugnant to the whole idea of the founders of-the Republic.” From Mexico. Brownsville," Texas, April 3.---Ad vices have been received from Monte rey to the 27th March, Saltillo 25th, and San Louis 20th. No new features had occurred in the siege of Quaretaro. The Liberals were not disposed to assault, hoping to capture the city by starvation. A letter from a well known mer chant of Zueetecas says; “The last news from Quaretaro is . Imperialists attempted asflllya’nd were dri-’en back with fifty killed.” Pro fork) Diaz was in Guadaleupe, a league distant from the city of Mexi co. Riva Pulacis wus ir» Tajul-aya.— Many other chiefs are about the city of •Mexico, with forces amounting in all to 20,000 men The capture of the heights ol La .Campagna fortifications of Laeuise was reported, but has been contradicted. Congress and the Close ot ih* \V<cr: —The New York Times thus puts to flight the only pretext lor the exten sion of military law over tho South at the present time, It says : “A Veteran Observer” vindicates the suspension of the writ of habeas \ corpus on the plea that rebellion ex ists ; and he asks when did the rebel lion eeasc? Nobody but Congress, lie j says, “ ha-1 the autliority to make peace or assume it.” Wo reply, in the first place, that j Congress, in laws passed during tho War, expressly declared that certain j acts for the suppression of tlie rebel-. lion, should continue in force “until j the President of the United States \ should declare, by proclamation, that I the rebellion had ceased .” The Pres : ident has so declared, lie has offici ally proclaimed that the rebellion has : ceased; and he did it by authority ex pressly conferred upon him by Con gress itself. It is nut competent, therefore, for Congress to assume, fu I tho face of its own action, that the re. bcllion still exists. But, secondly, we beg to remind | our correspondent that the mere fact t of rebellion, enpeeially of a construe tive * rebellion, does not authorize a i suspeusiou of tlie writ of habeas cor • j pus. The Constitution says that it I shall not be suspended unless “ in caso of rebellion or invasion the public ! safety shall require it.” There is no I such rebellion in the South as endan | gers the “public safety.’’ No man, I even among the extremists in Con- I gross, lias ventured to assert that the | public safety now requires the suspen- I .rioti oPtliat great writ.
