J. Wilkbß Booth Alive. The following letter to the Picayune, from Galveston, throws additional light on the strange statement we Some days since noticed: Galvuston Texas, Mtty 10 1807, To the Editors of the New' Orleans Picayune) Notwihstandingtwo yer.rs have elapsed since the assassination of President Linoln, and the subsequent Capture and death (as was officially Announced), of the assassin, J. Wilkes Booth, you are doubtless aware of the Fact that there are many persons who, during all this time have doubted and still doubt the identity of the party alledged to be Booth; and, believe the identical bona fide John Wilkes Booth to be in existence still. Since my arrival here I have met nnd gained the following information from Capt. J. R. Johnson, who has recently returned from China and the East Indies, and whose name is will known to many of the cit'zens of New Orleans. Knowing hint as 1 have, for a number of years, and always having found him a man of veracity, I can vouch for the truthfulness of his state ment the substance of which Is as foU lows: ■“ While lying at anchor in the port of Calcutta, British India, prior to flatting on our homeward voyage, in the latter part of December, 186 G, my attention was attracted by the arrival of a magnificent clipper ship—the most beautiful model I ever saw —car rying English colors, and which drop ped her anchor only a few rods form tiiy vessel, I soon ascertained she was 'carjed the “ Bird of the Ocean/’ and "was commanded by the notorious ,Lt. W. Martin Tolbert. Having been well acquainted with him during the war, I dispatched a messenger to ap prise him of tny close proximity, and requested an interview. In reply he invited ine to ‘‘come on board at once” which I did. After half an hour speut in social intercourse over a ..bottle of wine, in her elegantly fitted up cabin, he very politely begged to be excused, stilting he had business in the city which demanded his immediate atten tion, promising.me he would visit my ship the same evening. The evening wore aloig, and I had given him up coming for tho night, and was making preparations to turn anto my hammock when the splash of oars greeted my ears, and in a ffcw moments more the captain stepped upon my deck, nccornponicd by anotli. cr young gentleman whom 1 recog nized as Mr. Robert Troth (formerly an engineer in the Confederate navy). The first remark Tolbert made was this: “ Wake up, Johnson, you are boarded by pirates." From uiv knowl edge of the man, I knew ho was in for a night’s sport, and decided to let him have his full swing. After reaching tho cabin, assuming a confidential manner, said he : “Capt. Johnson, you and 1 have always been friends, and I have come on board your ship to have a “good time" with you, 1 have just won a bet of five hun dred pounds, in Calcutta, from ono of my Boston friends. When I was here, just six months ago, lacking two days, I laid a wager of £i>oo sterling that Wilkes Both was alive, which was accepted and the money staked. The conditions were, that I Was to furnish the proof of the fact inside of six months. Two men were selected by my adversary to accompany me, their expenses to be paid by the loser. We have just got back to-day ; and those two men, after being duly sworn, said “they had seen J. Wilkes Booth, tho actor; had conversed with lim ; and that he is alive and enjoying excellent health. The judges, after debating the question at length, finally rendered a decision in uiy favor, and tho money was handed over forthwith. Booth’s whereabouts is known to five persons only, who know that he is Booth. lie is l'ving in obscurity, far from his na tive laud ; and is perfectly safe, as his disguise is so oompleto that his own brother would not recognizo him. I sailed from Calcutta on the following day, and have not heard from the dash ing young ex-lieutenant since. What he told me made a deep impression on my mind. I pondered over the mat ter- on my return voyage, aud must sav that I firmly believe Booth is alive, ana Capt. W. sf. Tolbert knows where he is.’’ The above are almost verbatim his own words, and comment is unnecessa ry by me. Respectfully, etc, • Your ob’t servant, Andrew M.

(Enterprise (SEMI-WEEKLY.) L. C. BRYAN, : : : ; Editor- THO MAS VILLE, GA-: FRIDAY, MAY 24, 18G7. “ CHATHAM COUNTY JAIL. “Mr. J. E. llayes, of the Republi can is still incarcerated in this famous place. We think the majesty of the law has been vindicated. Wo assume that Mr. Hayes violated the law or a Georgia Judge and a Chatham county jury would not have condemned him, We don’t think they did it because they were rebels and he was a Union man. It is expected that Mr. Hayes will think so. If he says so, we nor they, should bo offended. In no sense can'justioe require his longer incarce. ration. We therefore propose to the Press of Georgia, to unite in a petition to Gov. Jenkins that he be pardoned. His detention can do no good, hi? lib* oration no harm. One prisoner has been released ift whom we of the South Icel a great interest. No one can be damaged if another fho added to the list. We think that Mr. Cohen can have no vindictive feeling now toward Mr. IL lyes. His reputation has been vindicated by tho law. Mr. Hayes may have acted indiscreetly.' Those of us that have not, may he jus titled in casting a stone at him. “Every man may be suppajfed to have a selfish object in what he does, We confess to ours. We are a little jubilant that Fortress Monroe dies not contain a prisoner, nnd can see no good reason why Mr. llayes should longer remain in “Chatham County Jail,’’ and hxrvc no fancy for striking a man who is down, or one whose hands are tied. We should be glad to know if this is not tho sentiment of the press of tlic State.”— Valdosta Times. As our cotemporary of the Times calls for an expression of the senti ments of the press of the State on the liberation of J. E. Hayes, editor of the Savannah Republican, we, as a .member of that body, answer as fol lows : —The “ majesty of the law ” has not been “vindicated’’ until the fine imposed has been paid. Shall the law or its prisoner triumph '! Mr. llayes openly denounces the Court and defies its power. Ho does not expect jus tice in a Southern Court, was not dis appointed when convicted—neverthe less, he is not tlio first person ever convicted in Georgia for slander, nor, without prejudice, would he have any reason to doubt that justice would be done him as well in the South as in the North. He has not sought until recently, relief through the magnan imity of the State —he has implored it at the hands'of a dominant and un scrupulous party. Believing that re lief would finally appear from that source, he declined to permit even his friends to pay tho fine, that he might triumph over rebels and 1 rebel Courts’ We do not believe Ire was convicted “because he was a Union man"—if Mr. Hayes thinks so, it only proves the bias of his judgment. Either the conviction was just or it was unjust on one side is a jury of twelve' ‘loyal ’ men, on the other, Mr. llayes. Which shall we trust ? The Court sentenced him to pay a fine—he refuses-—is sent to jail until it is paid—he becomes contumacious —after several months confinement he begins to repent, his choice, but stiii defiant and resolute in his refusal to pay tho fine. If he was lawfully convicted, ho is lawfully ponfined, and as long as he refuses to pay tho fine, just so long is lie stand ing in defnnee of the law. lie leave* no room for ouf sycinathv, for he sets our laws at naught, a..'d Deats our tri bunals of justice with seoi'n u0:1 ' tempt. He repels our mngnai..'»iify with his unreasonable contumacy, and while he expects mercy at the hands of tho Executive, he ridicules the power invested in his keeping. The laot that Mr. llayes is editor of the Savannah Republican, or a “ member of die press,” lias no weight oil our mind, and as ho never did us any per sonal wrong, we think we havo no prejudice against him.' We should bo glad to see him at liberty—but until we are convinued that ho was unlaw fully convicted of the crime for which ho is confined, wo must decide to let the “majesty of the law be vindicated.” DEFEAT OP THE RADICALS. Tlio news from the Kentucky elec tion grows more and more interesting. A burning up of the votes shows that tho Democrats carried the State by the magnificent majority of 42,000. This is a defeat worth recording against the Radicals, and ono from which they cannot easily rooover. Not a single Radical was elected in the Slate, in deed, wo 'may say that in only two districts did thoy get even a respect u bio vote. This will be their fate in all but two of tlio Southern States, if the lawful voters are allowed to go to tho polls, and wo havo strong evidence that .several of tho Northern States will follow tho noble example of Con necticut and Kentucky. Tho Radicals are beginning to feel it and many have already been seized with alarm. HEAVY FAILURE. The telegraph reports tho failure of the wealthy house of Fraser, Trenholm A Cos., of Liverpool, for 84,000,000. This house was well known through out tho South during the war, and many will regret the misfortune’ that has overtaken iti It 6eoms improbable that the small sum of four millions should ruin a firm wo thought to be wortli an hundred millions, and we still doubt, and liopo its embarrass ment is only temporary. RECONSTURCTION CONVEN TIO N . The Savannah Republican contains a call for a Convention, to be composed of the “ loyal.” delegates of the First Congressional District, 16 meet at Blaokshear, on Tuesday, the 4t’n of I June, “tor the purpose of adopting all : the Bills recently passed by Congress for the reconstruction of the Union.” We do not know what the call means by “ loyal delegates,” unless it is in tended for the blacks, and the few Northern Radicals scattered through tho District. We regard all our peo ple as loyal to the Constitution and good government, and think it would be better, both for the dignity of the Convention and the object it has in view, to call a Convention of the peo ple simply. The “ loyal ’’ people of Georgia have no need to '‘adopt the bills passed by Congress ’’ Congress “ adopted ” the bills and that is suffi cient. Congress dictates—our pro vince is to obey. When the voters are registered, the people will be called on to elect delegates to a Slate Con vention to draft anew Constitution. Until then we have no need of Con ventions, and those idlers who are go ing abuut the country, disturbing the public tranquility by getting up politi cal excitements, should be sent to a place of correction. They get up meetings and conventions, that they may bray in the ears of respectable people.' • MR. DAVIS AT LARGE. 'flip Southern journals are urrivef- Sally rejoicing wist the people gener ally, at the release of the distinguished Confederate I’resident. This single act of the Government will do ftiorc toward producing harmony and good feeling in the South, than all the speeches of all the Wilson’s and Kelly’s with tho five Mil’tar.y Governors su peraded. If now the Government will taka the next important step iri the path of wisdom, and repeal tho disfranchising laws, tho road will be completely open and the foundatiou stone laid for speedy reunion and re conciliation. PERIODICALS. Gomcv’s Lady’s Book. — This ox. cellent periodical for J une, has reached our sanctum and we find that it is the last number of tho Thirty-seventh vo lume. Think of it—a handsome. Ma gazine in its thirty-seventh year, and has been improved almost every year.

Land Wk Lovk. —Gen. D. 11. Hill’s lately improved and most excellent Magazine, from the “land we love,’’ also greets us for the month of June. We always find in it something suited to our taste —a good deal of anecdote and fun, with a great deal of valuable information. It is rapidly growing in public favor, and wo hope it may be permanently established, as the crown ing good deed of its illustrious founder. Scott’? Maciazink.—■The Juno number of this elegant Georgia pro duction has also arrived, and wo give it tho right hand of welcome, as an ostee-nod friend, long absent. The “Gate City” may well boast of its lit erature, if Scott's Magazine is to be regarded as a specimen, and we ven ture to state that the. South is no long er dependent upon the North for good literature. We now have it manufac tured at . home, and tipping our hat to the Yankees for bringing übout a state of affairs so devoutly to be wished for, wc close by wishing they may bo suc cessful in their operations, until the whole South shall become.a manufac turing district. Further of tho Mobile Distur bance. The Advertiser says : Tho distur bance th.'B occurred at the meeting to hear Judge K.'Hej' was the result of the merest accident. R citizen who had, been drinking mauV seYPral loud comments on portions of Jua’gO -vol ley's remarks that did not please in.A It was very imprudent and improper to havo been indulged iu at this meeting. In truth, the best thing that the white people can do is to keep away from these meetings. The police endeavor' ed to quiet tli ■ tipsy citizen. The ai'' rest provoked a souffle, and about same time a carriage ami horses ran eff through tho outskirts of the crowd, producing a rush to get out ol' the way. Tho two circumstances created the impression in tho body of the crowd that there was a fight begun, and (ho whole muss broke up and dispersed at (hiublc quiok. Meantime the freed' men Commenced firing their pistols as they ran, and, as wo learn, in the air. The last account must, be tnio, for as there were from one hundred and fifty to two hundred shots fired, if they had •been aimed in the orowd, nearly as mauy hundred men must have been hit.

Washington. .'lay 21.*—Sccre*ary Stanton has furnished a certified copy of Bosh’s diary to the President, which has been published, as follows : “ April 13th and,l4th. —Friday the ides.—Until to-day, nothing was ever thought of sacrificing to our country’s wrongs. For six months we had work ed to capture, but our cause being al most loßt,Boinctliiug,decisive and great must be done. But its failure was owing to others, who did not strike for their country with a heart. I struck boldly, and not as the papers say. I walked with a firm step through a thousand of his friends, was stopped, but pushed on. A Colonel was at his J side. I shouted “sic semper" before I fired. In jumping* broke my leg. I passed all his pickets, rode GO miles that night with the bone of my leg tearing the flesh at every jump. I can never repent it, though. We hated’ to kill. Our country owed all her troubles td. him, and Got! simply made me the Instrument of his punishment.’ The balance of the diary is some what incoherent, and without any al lusion to the accomplices in the'assas sination, except a boy who accompa nied him. Certificates accompany the document showing that the mutilations ol the diary occurred beluie capture. Emancipation in Brasil. It appears t hat the emancipation of ; the slaves in Brazil, as proposed by the Emperor, bas been canvassed in the Council of State, and it is understood that the plan provides for the total extinction of slavery in tlio year I9UU. Thcf’ollowing are reputed to be the basis of the plsn : First: Slavery shall cease totally in the year 1900, that is, in thirty-three years hence. Second : The State shall indemnify those citizens who may still own slaves at that period. Third : From the date of the pro mulgation of this decree, all children born to-sJavcs shall bo lice. Fourth : Those children-who may beodtleatid i'n iljc houses of their parents’ masters shall serve them till they reach their twentieth year, and will then he restored to freedom. Fifth : There will be established courts of emancipation in all the towns to enforce the law and see to its proper execution. Sixth : A fixed amount will-be sat aside for emancipation of the slavt-s of the nation, and the same terms will be agreed upon to effect the liberation of the slaves owned by religious orders as may be made to purchase the free dom of those hold by the Government, Seventh : There will be appropria ted a fund for the annual purchase of a certain number of slaves, so that but few may be in bondage when the hour of general cmacipatibn is at Inuicf. The organ of the Brazilian Govern moot says there is no doubt as to the determination of tho Emperor in re gard to this matter, and alleges that a Step has already boon made which hon ors his intention. Judge Kelly’s Rooord. The following interesting political and religions record of Judge Kelly, who is now canvassing the South in the interests ol Radicalism, has been resurrected by a New York ■ paper. Read it: LBTTER FROM JOHN OUTFFtN. New York, Feb. 21, 18GG, lion. 'William D. Kelly: Sir: In your spceoli at a negro meeting, on the 13th inst., at Wash, ington, in the Ist Presbyterian church, you stated that “if Fred. Douglas was not qualified to vote in tiic City of Washington, it trts very strange that tho meanest of your race should be en titled to do so for President.” This was your language published in the city papers. I have known you since the year 1829 or 1830; huve\nown you when you were studying law with Col. Page; knew you when you were a violent Jackson, antic Bank, anti- VV big, anti<Clay, and a stroug Calhoun and pro.slavery man, of the most Cop. porhead kind; I knew you-when you were one of Fanny Wright's followers; an atheist of the most ‘damnable’ kind; I knew yon when you were a leader of the Philadelphia church burners in 1844 ; yourself and- Lewis C. Levin ; I kno ! v ” ou w bcn you wanted to burn down the t'lu.’relios that your father worshipped at, a..'d where you received your natmfat tile bap-:*s:n•«l folit. All this you would have done, were it not for the gallant few, Gen. Patterson, Gen. Cadwalluder, ex-Mayor Swiit, Josiah Randall, and lust, not least, Col Du Sidle; all Protestant gentle men, ail Americans, with tho excep tion of i’aftefson, an luou-st Presbyte rian of ’9B. You are a renegade in religion as well as iu polities, and a disgrace to the name and memory of your honest father and kindred. A bird that fouls his own nest is a filthy bird. Yours,- * John Griffin, No. 84 Catherine st, New York. Brick Pomoroy on Abraham Lincoln. “ Brick "’claims and exercises, (fie right to speak ol the late President just as he would of any other histoti cal character. He says: And, as wo spoke of him living, so shall we speak of him dead. No man who strangles Liberty iu her ciudle shall hide behind a tombstone, and elude our port- We connect AbrJhmn Lincoln, alive and dead, with the par ty that uuule him, tho party he joined with in the war upon Rights, and shall not sepefate the two. Our duty is to tho living— t,e the men of to-day; the children of tomor row ; and. with TUod's help, we shall do our best to educate the people to know and believe that the statesman Abraham was bat a joker, that their saint was but a dinner—that their great martyr was a humbug ! Don’t talk to us of respect for the ! dead! Don’t prate to ns that we alone must keep silenee over the tomb ! Why do tho Radicals denounce Ju das Iscariot ? Why not let the grave cover him ? Why do folks denounce Haynau? Is he not dead ? Why denounce and point with scorn to Benedict Arnold ? Does not the grave cover him also ? Why denounce Burr and Calhoun ? Are they not in their graves ? Why war upon dead Confederate soldiers, and refuse ladies'the privi lege -of planting flowers over their graves ? - Are not they in graves as sacred as the grave of the man who was carted -from Washington to Springfield, as a stuffed elephant is drawn around, lor a show, and for political effect ? Out with such nonsense I This is an ago of “ progress ” you say! If all the*drops of the ocean were teals, apd all the sands mourners', we should still speak of Lincoln as we saw fit, and should hold him dead as wc held him living. He was a part of our country. His history was in a measure its history. His birth vras no credit to it; his death no loss ; it was simply the act of God, done at His command by human agen- Icy. Lincoln’s ad ministration was the most corrupt, profligate, aud wicked this country was ever cursed with. He wove himself into history. Qis going to Washington was a cowardly comedy ; his administration an insult to Liberty; his death a God-appoin ted tragedy.

Cut This Out- The Mercantile Times gives the following seasonable rules for young men commencing business.- • The worid estimates men by their success in life—and, by general con sent, success is evidonec of superiority. Never, under any circumstances, assume a responsibility you can avoid consistently with your duty lo yourself and others. Base all your actions upon a princi ple 'of right; preserve year integrity of character, and in doing this, never reekon the cost. Remember that self-interest is more likely to warp your judgment than all other circumstances combined ;-thce fore, look well to your duty, when your interest is concerned. Never make money at the expense of your reputation. Be neither lavish n6r niggardly ; of the two, avoid the latter. A mean' man is- universally despised, but pub'' lie favor is a stepping stone to prefer ment —• therefore geuerous feelings should be cultivated. Say but little—think much—and do more. Let your expenses be suob as to leave u balance in your pocket. Ready money is a friend in need. Keep clear of the law ; for oven if you gain your case, you are generally a loser of money. Avoid borrowing and lending. Wine drinking and cigar smoking are bad habits. They impair the mind and pocket and lead to a waste of time. <©’■ A correspondent, after many an-arrow escape from the Indians, has collected the following characteristics of tho different tribes : A litigaous tribe ; the Sioux.

He inv vades no secret in the keeping of ano ther. lie betrays no secrets to his own keeping. lleNicver struts' in borrowed plumage. He never takes selfish advantage of our 'mistakes. Ho uses no ignoble weapons in contcaveisy. He never stabs in the dark. He is ashamed of inuendos. He is not ono thing to the man’s face and another behind his back. If by accident lie c mies in possession of bis neighbor’* counsels, he passes upon them an act of instant oblivion. He bears sealed packages without tampering with the wax. Papers not meant for his eyes, whether they flutter at Fis'window or lie open before hint in unguarded ex* posure, are sacred to him. He invades no privacy of otheis, however the sen. try sleeps. Bolts and bars, locks and keys, hedges and pickets, bonds anil securities, notice to trespassers, are none of them for him. He may be trusted by himself out of sight—near the thinnest partition—anywhere, lie buys no offices, he sells none, he in-* trignes for none. He would rather fail of his rights thiyi win them thro’ dishonor. lie will eat honest bread. He tramples on no sensitive feeling, lie insults no man. If he hav* rc> bu-kc for another, he is straightfbr. ward, open, inan'y. In short, what ever be judges honorable, he practices toward every man. £-.7-About two years ago, when .Mr. .Jefferson Davis was first thrown into prison, a vow was made by a vrterad t.ypo, and a respected citizen of Char-- lesion, that he would neither cut his* hair nor trim his beard until tile dis tinguished captive should-he again set at liberty. The citizen 1 referred to is’ a man of much 1 weight artul’ 'freed ro-* tundity of person, and the- power of endurance which Fie displayed in re-’ maining faithful to h : u vow during the' terrible beat of last summer can be better imagined than described. The first summer it was not so bad; nei ther his hair nor beard having then grown to an inconvenient length, and in the winter the additional covering was only comfortable. The telegraph boys were wild with excitement under the effect of three such startling pieces of intelligence, all in one day ; the in junction bills were dismissed, Mr. Davis was out of prison, and ijlr.

It is made ly putting a short axle in the forward wheels of a wagon and a long one in the hind ones; couple them together by a six feet stick, pinned on the hind axle, and running to the centre of the •coupling; the wagon tongue can be put on the front axle by two small iron bolts put through tho ends of the hounds and axle ; the axles can be made of poles. Put tho front wheels four feet apart, and the others twelve feet, though the length of the axle can be mad'e to suit. Sixty acres a day can be markCn with it. It runs light and makes a good mark, and one that will *how after a rain a* good as a sled mark. £6§“Gov. Holm, in a recent powerful speech at Louisville, Kentucky, thus ‘ hits’the nail on .the head :” “I tell you-thattho Northern States arc refusing to let the negro vote on their side of the river. They wish to compel him to remove to the Southern States, where he will be allowed suf frage. This action* is based on tho idea that the nogro will naturally go where he has most privileges, and es pecially if that climate beat suits him. They wish, therefore, to ship the negro upon you, because you dare not control him without runing the risk of the in terference of Federal powor.” Departure of Negro Emigrants for Liberia. —Charleston, May 20 —The ship Golconda cleared to-day for Li beria. She will convey about 300 ne gro emigrants, many more had engaged Siassago, but having since made satis actory contracts here, or owing to their changed status under the Recon struction Acts, they now decline leav ing for the present. #iaS“A writer in a St. Louis paper, who has recently travelled through the States of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, says that deaths fVom starvation occur almost daily in the localities which .he visit'd, and that many more must occur before the corn crop matures, unless aid comes from the Noftli. He says the destitu tion throughout the South is wide spread and faorful and relatoa heart rending incidents of starving people clamoring for bread.
