Mr Horace Greely Defends Himself. Hinoe the appearance of Mr. Gree ley's name as one of Mr Davis’securi ties he has been the object of innume rable attacks from a portion of the Radical press. Wendell Phillips is out in a long letter, written in his usual vituperative style, in which he abuses in turn both Mr. Greeley and Mr. Davis. Finally, the Union League Clpb of New York city sent him an invitation to attend a meeting, at whioh his oonduct will be thoroughly discussed. This last assault provokes the following reply, which is taken from the Tribune of the 23d ; IT THESE PRESENTS, GREETING .• To Messrs. Geo. W. Blunt, John A. Kennedy, John 0. Stone, Stephen Haytt and forty others, members of the Union League Club : Gentlemen :—I was favored on the 16th instant by an official note from oUr ever-courteous President, John Jay, notifying me that a requisition had been presented him for “ a special meeting of the club at an early day, for the purpose of takihg into consid eration the conduct of Horace Greely, a member of the club, who has become a bondsman for Jefferson Davis, late chief officer ot the Rebel Gevernment. Mr. Greely then goes on to rehearse the principal incidents of the war, and the course of the Tribune in relation thereto, down to the time of the Lin coln assassination. “That appalling calamity,” he says, “ seemed in an in stant to curdle all the milk of human kindness in twenty millions of Ameri can breasts. At once insidious efforts weTe set on foot to turn the fury thus engendered against me, because of my pertinacious advocacy of mercy to the vanquished. Chancing to enter the club-house the next evening (Satur day), I received a full broadside of your scowls, ere we listened to a cVr ical harangue intended to prove that, Mr. Lincoln had been providentially removed because of his notorious loam ings towards clemency, in order to make way for a successor who would give the rebels a full measure of stern justice, I was soon made to compre hend that I had no sympathizers—or none who dared seem such —in jour crowded assemblage. And some mala droit admirer having a few days after ward made the olub a present of my portrait, its baro reception was resisted in a speech from the chair by your then President—a speech whoso vigor ous invective was justified solely by my pleadings for lenity to the rebels. At once a howl <Jf derisiou and rage was sent up from every side against me by tho little creatures whom Go ), for some insorutable purpose, permits to edit a majority of our minor jour nals. echoed by a yell of “stop my pai t— O' f — rr, thousands of UUDP.rfcctly instructed readers of tho .tribune. Unc impudent puppy wroto me to answer categorically whether I was or was not in favor of hanging Jeff. Davis, adding that I must stop his paper if I were notl Scores volunteered assurances that I was defying public opinion that most of my readers were against me—-as if I could bo induced to write what they wished said rather than what they needed to be told * * * Gentlemen, I Bhall not attend your meeting this evening. I have an cn gagemr nt out of town and shall keep it. Ido not recognize you as capable of judging or oven fully apprehending mo. You evidently regard me as a weak sentimentalist, misled by a maud i lin philosophy. I arraign you as nar row-minded blockheads, who would like to be useful t> a great and good cause, but don’t know how. Your at tempt to base a great and enduring party on the hato and wrath neccsarily engenered by a bloody civil war is ns though you should plant a colony on no iceberg which had somehow and. iftcd into a tropical oocan. I tell you here that, out of a life earnestly devoted to the good of human kind, your childron will select my going to Richmond and signing that bail-bond os tho wisest act, and will feel that it did more for freedom and humanity than all of you were oompetcut to do, though you had lived to the age of Methuselah. I ask nothing of you then, but that you proceed to your end by a direot, frank, manly way. Don’t sidle off in- to a mild resolution of uensure, but movd the expulsion which you purpos ed, aod which I deserve, if I deserve any reproach whatever. All I oare for r as that you make this a square stand up fight, and record your judgment by 1 y-ea-i and, hays. I care not how many vote with me, of how many vpte against me, for 1 know that the latter will re pent it in dust and ashes beforo three years have passed. Understand, onco for all, that I dare you and defy you, and that I propose to fight it out on the line that I have held from tho day of Lee’s surrender. 1 give you fair notice that 1 shall urge the re-chfranchisement of those now proscribed for rebellion so soon as 1 shall feel confideut that this course is consistent with tbe freedom of the blacks and the union of tho Republic, and that I shall demand a recall of all now in exile only for participating in the rebellion, whenever tbe country shall have been so Aorougbly pacified that its safety will n*>t thereby be on dangered. And so, gentlemen, hop ing that you will henceforth compre hend mo somewhat better than you hate dong, I remain. Horace Greeley. farmer wrote as follows to a distinguished scientific agriculturalist,, to whom he felt under obligations lor introducing a rarity of swine : “Res pected sir ( went yesterday |o tho cuttle show. I found several pigs of your species. There was a great variety of hogs, and I was astonished at not seeing yog there,” Hottljieni Enterprise (SEMI-WEEKLY. 7 ‘ L. C. BRYAN, : 4 ; . : Editor.- THOMASVILLp, GA.: FRIDAY, MAY 81, 1867. TO THE COLORED VOTERS OF THOMASVILLE. We are requested by Mayor Har ris to state, for the information of the colored people of Tbomasville, that under the law of equality, they are en> titled to vote at the election to be held in Thomasville, on the First Wednes day in June, on the question of City Bonds, for tho South Georgia & Flo rida Railroad. This Railroad is of the utmost im. portance to the future prosperity of Thomasville, and will affect tho inter ests of every citizen, white or black. If it is built all will be made better off—if not built all will bo made infi nitely worse off than we are at present. Every sensible colored man knotos the importance of railroads, and wo believe they will vote as unanimously in this instance a9 the white man. Let every man vote for the railroad. SOUTH GEORGIA & FLORIDA RAILROAD. We publish elsewhere a meeting held by the citizens of Thomasville, on Wednesday last, and the sensible and very decisive resolutions adopted on tho occasion with but one dissenting voice. We were present at the meet, ing, and noticed with great satisfaction the enthusiasm of our people on the subject of this Railroad, and we be. lieve the ball is now in motion, that will roll on until the completion o/ the grand enterprise. Col. Seward’s re marks were peculiarly suited to the occasion, and set tho whole matter in its true light. He says wc can build the read and every sensible man an. dorses it. Thomasville will issue bonds for 650,000 and the County 6200,000 moro, which will boa very lair start, and when- we come to add the enthu siastic interest of Mitchell and Baker Counties, with the private subscrip■ tions that may be obtained, we have the full assurance of the final cunplei tion rs the road. Macon, Atlanta, and even Nashville and Cincinnati, arc intensely intorcstcd in the construction of this road, as the great transit route of their provisions to Southern Georgia and the whole State of Florida. Let these largo cit ies become aware of the importance of tho road to their cominerco, and let them see that wc have resolved upon its construction, and they will come to our am at tho proper time. Our duty now is to press forward and show them that we know our intorests, and have the will and the courage to pur* suo them. The roan who would hold back and throw cold wat“r over the efforts of his neighbor, is willfully blind and ignorant, or reprehensible careless of his own interests, and an enemy to tho prosperity of his section. Let the frionds of the enterprise bo. stir themselvos, and beforo eighteen months shall pass, thny will havo tho satisfaction of hearing tho whistle of the locomotive on the South Georgia and Florida Railroad. HORACE GREET FT We hope every one of our readers will carefully peruse the noble lettor of Horace Greclny, wc publish to-day. If- that docs not cure tho disease of his Radical enemies, their case is hopeloss indcod. Tho South will fully appre ciate the noble stand taken by the edi tor, philosopher and statesman of the Now York Tribune, and whatever may have been her former opinion of his political tenets, tho bold, defiant and statesmanlike stand ho has now taken in the caaso of truth and justice, will blot out tho past aud endear him to overy Southern hoart. Mr. Greeley’s dofianoo to the extreme Radicals rises to tho proportions of a sublimo virtue, coming as it doos, opportunely for the South, and at a junoture when Radi calism risen to the height of powor, controls tho political affairs of tho nation. His enemies are waging a relentless war against him, beenuso of his stand in favor of the South, and aro using all their powor to destroy the influeuoo of his paper-; but they will fail, and Mr. Greeley will havo the satisfaction of prcaohing the funeral of the Radical party, if thoy do not poekgt his insult and smooth over tho breach, lie asks no mcroy at their hands, but invites and dares them to tho worst, assuring thorn that ho will “tight it out on that line.” Ho leaves no voopj for recon ciliation, but declares them a sot of “blockheads,” unable to discern the times, and nothing can save them but speedy repentance They must aban don the-r position and come ovsr to Mr. Greeley, or continue to widen a breach in the party, whioh will un. doubtcdly destroy its political power. In qither case, Mr. Greehy has tri umphed, and proves the powerful champion of truth and justioe, and, consequently, the truo friend of the South. Let him persevere —he will more than regain in the South all his losses iD the North. LETTER FROM EMIGRANTS. In another place \- p publish a lengthy letter from an emigrant on the way to Brazil. As some of our readers are interested to hear from that country, wo may favor th-*m with an occasional correspondence from tlio colony.

At a meeting of tho citizens of Thomasville, held this day, for tl e purpose of considering the location of the South Georgia & Florida Railioad, the following resolutions wore adopted with but one dissenting voice: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting, that it is to the interest of Thomasville, and the Railroad enter prise itself, to have the Road to com mence at Thomasville and build direct to Albany. Resolved, That we hereby pledge ourselves to moot cheerfully such taxes as may be necessary to pay the inter est on such Bonds as may be issued by the Towq of Thomasville, and that we recommend the Mayor and Alder men of Thomasville, to pass an ordi nance for that purpose upon the ad valorem system. Resolved, farther, That toe will sub mit to such income and capitation Tax, as may bo necessary to make the said Bonds available. Resolved, That the Thomasville, .Savannah, Macon and Albany papers be requested to publisn the above proceedings. R. J. BRUCE, Chair'n. [FOR THE ENTERPRISE] Mr, Editor: —ln the Secretary’s report ot the Public Meeting, held last Saturday by the colored population, I am made to say that I endorsed the speech_of their principal speaker, J. W. Toer. Now this is a'mistake. I have not tho slightest idea that the Scoretary wilfully misrepresented me, but meant to say that 1 “endorsed” what Col. Seward said, which I did say- I never heard Toer’s speech — not getting into the house until Col. S. had commenced speaking. Very Respectfully, W. M. IIAYES. [FOR THE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.] LETTER FROM THE BRAZIL IMMIGRANTS. New York, April 22,1857,) 3J o’clock, P. M. j Tho North America with steam up; bang goes the hell, significant to leav. ing the wharf. Col. McMullen, late of Texas, with about 150 persons, Dr. Gaston, late of Fort Gaines, Georgia, with about 32, and Rev. S. M- Pyles with 82 head, all aboard, an adieu was bid to tho shores of North America. Many looked back uprn thoir native land the last time, forever! I was possessed of a feeling somewhat of sorrow and gladness, at one and the time. Sorry that my former country nad been ruined, ana tnai so many noble sons of tho ruined South were prevented from accompanying us by a lack of means. Glad that such a respectable number was now on their way to a country unsurpassed in natu ral advantages by none on God’s earth, and where they could enjoy all the rights and privileges ot any other citi zen ot the government. Some tilings tended to mm- the enjoyment, as it was too inanifo3t that the contract, us made with Garrison, Allen -V Cos., was not likely to be carried out. And, then it had been too manifest also, that the officers and crew were want ing in capacity and disposition lo re speot the immigrants. Harsh and dic tatorial expressions, with au unusual indifference to all inquiries made as to baggage, quarters, etc., at once fixed tho impression on all minds, that we wore on board a genuine Yankee ves sel. Brazil was our destination. This was tho only practicable route at pre sent ; and but for the faot, that we did not wish to do any thing *o retard our onward march, I do not know that bi th officers and crew would not, havo found a watory grave. As we niovod off the lightning's flashed, the thundor’s roarod, the winds blew and tho waves rose and dashed. The result was, that we had confusion. Women and childron Roon began to oast up accounts, as well ns some of tho men and boys. I was rather for tunato, as my business—looking alter my own personal matters, as also that of about thirty others—had left roe no time to lake either breakfast or dinner, and no supper being furnished, 1 had I no accounts to oast np; consequently, I spout most of my time in attending to | others. Just hero again Wo began to j feel the want of accommodations. In Sain no had tried tu learn lb-3 real oqji-. iti-bn of things before gping on-board. No admittanoo could" be had to our apartment previous to sailing, either to ascertain tbe condition of tho vos sel or to make preparations. Having previously engaged berths (six weeks) and boon informed thrft we would need to make no preparations for ourselves, but would be furnished, we hod de livered our baggage to the proper offi ocr, our bedding being included, and i we being debarred from it until fho 1 next day. 11 o'olook, A. M. Tho thunder atorm having passed, and the wind having now assumed -its seat in the North, blew cold enough to produce fearful sensations. But it must be endured. It was also distressing to hear twenty or more of Col Frank McMullen's crowd, who had taken se voro colds from inclement went her and a want of neoessary clothing which had settled on and seriously affected the lungs, coughing all through the night; as also one of my own crowd, who had left Florida scarcely able to ride. Aiuitist tho oul 1, the oastiug up, the ooughingand nursing, hungry and disappointed, i spout one of tho most unpleasant night’s taown iu modem history. Morning came and found me hungry till To th-* id. I presume it did seem strange that I was hungry. But so it was. Tuesday Mornino, 9 o'clock, ") 158 Miles Out, [ On Lat. 37° 55', Long. 73°. ) Breakfast over and about two-thirds sick. A strong North breeze, sails spread, inclination of the wind a little to S E., vessel bearing a little to N- W. The sail was pleasant and rapid. Nothing of interest occurred during the day, except much contention about water lor the sick, and efforts to pro cure some softer bread for those want ing teeth. These efforts were treated with an unprecedented ahd unwarrant able degree of indifference. 3 o’clock, P. M.—Wo were again summoned to the eating board, where we found hard bread, hard boiled beef and Irish potatoes. This to suffice for the day. Having had access to the baggage room, between 11 and 1 o’clock, I succeeded in getting out some bedding, which answered a very valuable purpose. A goad sail, with a good night's sleep for the well, brought us by 9 o’clock in the.morning of the 24th, to lat. 34° 75' and Long. 78° 38', and 370 miles fYohi starting point. Fori breakfast this morning we had tolera ble coffee, some molajses, pickled pork, and the usual hard tack. Probably one hundred and twenty of our crowd reported at the table The larger part of the remainder boing convalescenily tending. This morning one of the crew used Home insulting language to a lady on board, which drew a blow from Judge Dyer, from Texas, which must have proved serious, had it not been warded off by others. Breakfast being over, we were ordered to leave our quarters, to-afford au opportunity for the crew to jsweep out. The con duct of the crow had been such, that I suspected it best for someone to watch a little, consequently, I told the steward when ha ordered mo out, that I must be allowed to remain, that I would not only not be in the way, but r if necessary, assist in clearing up the rubbish. I succeeded in keeping all safe directly under my eyes. But I afterwards learned from one of tho sick ladies, that she noticed several ol the crew whilst engaged, passing down the gangway with cup iu hand. On the next morning it was ascertained, that about half the contents of a demi john of fine brandy, and owned by Esquire Fenley, was missing. This transpired out of my sight. At 1 o’clock, after a very favorable sail, we were agaip summoned to the table, to partake of similar faro to that of tho past. In vain.l tried to get bread that was adapted to scattering teeth. In every effort I was either treated with indifference or manifest contempt. I asked, I offered-to buy, but to no purpose. Finally, I gave over in despair. A pleasant day, in fined. except the little contentions be. tween passengers and crew. Tno eve ning boing pleasant, we decided to in stitute a sooial prayer meeting. The Captain boing consulted, permission was obtained, provided we would not ask him to attend. He as&ighed as a reason for granting the privilege, that he thought it would not hurt us. We were of the same opinion, but were glad to know that tho Captain of our Salvation entertained n different not’on of us, to what hr, did, and was dis posed to treat us quite differently. To which latter fact, we wish over to feel humbly thankful. The prayer meet ing was held, and many seemed to take an interest. The night passed pleas antly away. Thursday morning 9 o’clock, found us in lat 31° 23' and long. 70° 24', and 564 miles from New York. Break fast being over, it was ascertained that perhaps three-fourths of our crowd were convalescent. The faro was »s usual Much harmony and good will prevailed amongst the immigrants.— Still efforts were being made to pro cure softer bread for the aged and in firm, but in vain--love nor money could not procure it. At 10 i o’clock, we wero again ordered out of our quar ters that tho floor might be swept. On this occasion I was engaged on deck, and consequently, as most of the crowd wore out tho crow had a better chance to pi Ter Tho result was, as after, wards ascertained,, that a second demi john, which had not boon previously opened, was drained of about half its oontonts—this of fine brandy, procured and carefully preserved for medicinal purposes. Complaint was made to the steward, to which he replied, that there was but him and one man engaged in sweeping, ftnd consequently it must have been gome ot our own party. But tliis.iyag a_ppo( plea, for two. reasons. First—the steward had driven out all but those Tut desired to keep-in-?- and second, he had a guard placed at the open door of the stairway, so that none oould steal without his-knowludge, and again, some of tho sick ladies saw one or moro cany ng a tin aup, perhaps more than once, from the front or near there, where the stolen property was, te the roar, whe.ro it was to them dark. The must legitimate inference is, that, thoy wero removing the Contents of the vessel, to appropriate it to their owu uso. The evening passed away as nsual. Supper, consisting of hard tack and tua, was served up this after noon. Prayer meeting at half-past 6 i o’clock Smoking, chewing, and oon- j vorsation as usual, when all quieted j down about 9 o’clock. At half-past 1 11, I was awoke by some ladies, who j said that the vessel had stopped, and they were solicitous to learn the cause, i 1 immediately went on deck, and learned from an old engineer, that a 1 hole had made its appearance in a pipe, j Forty minutes sufficed to make repairs, and again wo wero off southerly. Tho night passed away pleasantly A good shower having fallen, the air was soft and comfortable . April jfoth, 9 o’clock, A M—Still making g-j-wt headway Now <>ft to the North East of Cuba. At 9A. M., 31° 23' North latitude, long. 7D° 24'. j Wind from South West quite soft, : with slight mist. All up and cheer- j ful, except about two, who have been j quite unwell from cold contracted since their return from shipwreck, on the coast of Cuba. Os these I will speak in due time. As yet we have found no favor with cither officers or crew— i they seem bent on putting us through upon a programme of their own man aging, irrespective of the former agree ment. Indeed, we cannot be heard ; and yet, our people only resent insult by words, and with the exception men tioned above, have not attempted to strike a blow. I trust the good Lord will still preserve U 9, and prevent our doing wrong. 11c says, “vengeance is mine, l will repay.” A fearful doom surely awaits a people so ctuel, and so very destitute of common hu manity. It would- be but a small job to thro*? thorn all overboard aud move on to our destination. But wc are not thus disposed, although they are our practical enemies. The Lord’s will be done, is all I can say in the matter. Thursday afternoon’and night passed away pleasantly. Friday morning, all up as usual, and j cheerlully looking out upon the pure, i blue expanse- Now iu lat. 27° 57' | and long. OS'* 30', we of course en> i counter a fine soft atmosphere. Break* [ fast as usual. Nothing occurred of any peculiar interest, except one of Dr. Gaston’s crowd, (quite a nice gen, tlen-anly fellow) wis insulted by a sai lor, who abruptly ordered him off a hatch box, where he was sitting. This gave c-ffence, and for a time things assumed a serious aspect. But, for tunately, blows were not struck. One o’clock dinner was announced, when we appeared, and in vain I attempted to masticate some of the raw beet set before us. Not one particle #F meat or bread could [ chew or swallow. I made some show in the Irish patatoe line, the only thing that I could use. ’ Four o’clock this evening we are mov. ing on well, and have the promise that we shall have cooktid beet far the next meal. Col. Frank McMullan, ol Texas, is sitting up this evening, and is inter esting those around him, in rehearsing the advantages and disadvantages of our contemplated homes, as wefl as teaching to them the Portugese lam guage. Dr. Gaston is also engaged systematically in teaching a very re spectable class Prayer meeting again tliis evening as usual O! how beautiful the scene around. The little flying -fish skate upon the water; the blue waves roll softly by, gently rocking the vessel, and the re freshing breeze as it passes between the jibs, seems to whisper peace and prosperity to the new anxious.

She came to see how she would like the rooms—how she should' like ray seat at the fireplace ; how she —and if it isn’t enough to break a mother’s heart to be treated so !—how she should like my dear children . “Now, it’s no use your bouncing aboutaabutt —but of course that’s it; I can’t mention Miss Prettyman, but you fling about as if you were in a fit.

It’s you, Mr. Caudle, who'll drive me mad. Everybody says so. “And you suppose Id dn’t see how 1 it was managed, that yon and that Miss Prettyman were always partner's at whist ? Haw was it managed ? Why, plain enough. Os course you packed the cards, and could cut what you lik ed. You’d settle that between you.— Yes, and when she took a trick, in stead of leading off a trump—she play whist, indeed !—what did you say to her, when she found it was wrong ? Oh—lt was impossible that h< r heart should mistake! And this, Mr Cau dle, b -foie people —with your own wile in the room ! . “And Miss .Prettyman—l won’t hold my tongue. I will talk of Miss Prettyman : who’s she indeed, that: I shouldn't talk of hc-r? I suppose she thinks she sings ? What do you say.? Sho sip- s like a mermaid ? Yea ver very like a mermaid ; for sho never sings hut she exposes hcrf.elf.

If next week's issue of thi« paper don’t make Radicals squirm it will be because they are too far gone in infh my to be worth saving. The result- in Kentucky docs not scent to suit the Radical Cincinnati Gazette, and it desires to know why that State should be exempt from the punishment inflicted on other rebelli ous communities?. An exchange says i— il Forney has joined the Temperance Society, is go ing to Europe, and has come out for negro suffrage in ’ Pennsylvania.— What will he do next?” The Mobile Register answers—‘Let us hope that he trill hatrg himself next,’” The chain gang is an institution, or was, of Georgia, it appears, of military creation, having been established at Augusta by General Stee.dman in 1865, and yet the Radicals would make, the impression that the chain gang was a relic of Southern barba " ristn. The (lincinnati Enquirer says —“not in many year* lias there be ui so fair a prospect of the Democrats carrying Ohio as there is now. All over tho State the impression widely prevails that the Radicals will ho routed, “horse, foot and dragons,” and that both the neero suffrage* amendment and tho State ticket, which sustains it, will bo badly beaten. In the Thirty-ninth Rump Congress, Connecticut wus represented by fuu- Republicans, and Kentucky by four Republicans and five Democrats—in the Fortieth, Connecticut will-have three Democrats and one. Republican ; an! Kentucky nine Democrats,a Dem ocratic gain of seven votes, or a chance of fourteen against Radicalism. A Radical paper in lVnnsylvan’a pays the following tribute to the lately defunct Radical Legislature of that Slate: “With Heavy hearts and so:-- rowing Countcunnce, they bent their steps from the scone of t:eir debauch ery, and after casting a long, 1 ngei ing look upon the venerable capitol, they padd'ed homeward to meet their constituents.
