The Tide of Radicalism Ebbing at the North. —lndications are multiply ing every day that the Northern peo ple are becoming intensely disgusted with Radicalism. Many of the Radi cal journals are sensible of the reac tion, and are shaping their course ac cordingly. Among them is the New York Times, which is now exposing the unconstitutionality of the recent reconstruction acts of Congress. It asks, where in the Constitution does anybody “find authority for Congress to pass a law excluding certain States from representation until they pass laws or adopt Constitutions such as Congress may prescribe ; or to subject the civil functionaries of a State to the paramount authority of a military commander; or to decree universal negro suffrage in the Southern States as the condition of restoration ? We can find no such authority, and never could ; nor have we ever been fortu nate enough to find one wlo could point it out.’’ Notes Given for Purchase of Slaves Void. —The Supreme Court of Louis iana has decided that notes given in consideration for the purchase of i—-- ---.....11 on/1 pair) the case coming up m an appeal from the JJis trict Court, in which a contrary decis ion was rendered. The Court held that freedom was a pre.existing right; and slavery a violation of that right ; that contracts for the sals of slaves did have the sanction of the law, but when that sanction ceased the contract ceased also; that a mortgage of the 6lavc to secure the payment of his price pan 0 f the same transaction and became nun ;» th<> same manner; that the (prohibition (against laws im pairing the value of contracts docs not apply to the sovereign power, and that its fiat is potent to release the contractors as well as to set the slave free. ' Attorney General?s Second Opinion. Washington, June 15, p. m.—lt is un derstood in official circles that the At. torney General, ip bis opinion just prepared, holds that the Reconstruc tion acts provide for two governments —Military and Civil; that both are provisional and to be obeyed, but to cease when reorganization of the State Governments take place; lie also takes the position that the military is only to protect, all in their rights of personal property, and for the preser vation ot order and the suppression of violence and crime. There is no au> thority in the law for removal by the Military Commander of the proper offi cers ot a State, neither Executive nor Judicial, or the appointment of their successors; the Military Commander is not authorized to destroy but is bound to protect civil officers, a Mili tary Commander being regarded as a conservator of the peace and not an abrogator of the law. &UUinci /cc/ o U.C T* a rather notable fact that of the class just graduating at West Point, every man of the first six scholars is from the South. Ruffner, of Virginia leads, and Sears, of Virginia, is third ; then there are Mallory, of Alabama, Rogers and Ilaupt, ol Georgia, and Griffith, of North Ca.olina. In the next six, there are three Tennesseeans, Pitman, Maguire and Bell, while Turtle, of Massachusetts, Greer, of Pennsylva nia, and lleintzelman, at large, occupy the other three places. Thus all ot the first Bix, and nine of the first 12 places on the scale of general merit, are taken this year by men appointed from the South. This is the first time in the history of the Military Acad emy when the Southern States havo swept off all the honors. Munificence of a Stranger —We learn from the Atlanta Int-.lligencer, that Judge John Pearson, of Danville, Illinois, has brought to that city at his own expense, over one thousand bush els of corn lor distribution to destitute widows and orphans, every bushel of which is contributed by himsoll. Ac companying the corn is about ono hun dred dollars worth of clothing, sent by the benevolent ladies of Danville, to be disposed of in a similar way.

Large Sum in the Treasury. —On Saturday last the United States Trea sury held the largest amount of money ever held at any one time sineo the organization of the Government, to wit: 8180,000,000, of which BD>2,- 000,000 were gold and $78,00i?,000 currency. This amount was reduced $10,000,001) to-day by the maturing of the June compounds and interest, and on the 15th inst., will be reduced 89,000,000 more by the interest ou the June seven-thirties. Why Is It ?—Why is it, asks tho New York Tribune, that in the cities alone demonstrations occur ? In the country, where there may be said to be no constabulary, everything goes on with perfect order and quiet. The New York World has found the true solution to the question in the fact that on tho plantations tho negro is brought into contact with Southern whites only, whereas, in the cities in cendiary Radicals have free access to him, 'and are exerting all their energy and ingenuity to breed mischief. If the World was living among us, it could not have shown a better appre ciation of the real source of oqr trou bles. — Macon Messenger. Jiontjjcrn dßntcqirisc (SE]£wEEKLY.) ’ • L. c. BRYAN, : : : i Editor. THOMASVILLE, GA.: TUESDAY, JUNE 18, 1867. TALLAHASSEE. In a lengthy article setting forth the commercial advantages of Tallahassee, Florida, the Bainbridge Argus advises the citizens to abandon at once and forever, the impracticable idea of build ing up the port es St. Marks, and adopt the entirely practicable idea of constructing a Railroad to the Spanish Hole, which, we believe, is age off the port of St. Marks. The idea of tho Argus is a good one. and its arguments unanswerable. IFearc inclined to support the Argus in the position, and think we could add some additional reasons why the citizens of Tallahassee should adopt, and with trreat haste, tho suggestion made: but the time has not yet arrived for us to speak on that subject. We would say to Tallahassee, however, that it will be well for her, if she is not found nap ping during the next two years. If she neglect her interests but for two years from this date, what she loses will be lost forever. MEXICO. In the overthrow of Maximillian Mexico falls into the hands of the United States. It is useless to hope for any permanent Govcmment in a country so distracted by factions and demoralized by habits of plunder and crime. Maximillian was her only hope for peace and tranquility under Mexi can Institutions. The same old rotine of establishment and subversion has now re-commened under Juarez, and although he is at present the supreme head, we expect soon to hear that the followers of Escobedo have broken out in open revolt. Thus will matters continue in that bloodstained country until the United States absorbs its territory. RESTORATION OP THE JEWS f I he Jews of the United States have organized themselves into an Israelitish Government, having its seat in New \ork, with the purpose of restoring the Jews to the Holy Land. They are preparing bonds to raise funds for the support of the government, and have already conferred titles of nobil ity and appointed high officials to tho government of the Jews in various parts of the world.

WHEN WILL THE SOUTH BE ADMITTED P This question is easily answered- When the Southern Stales have been thoroughly Radicalized , and there is no longet a possibility of Stevens’ and Sumner’s meeting a Jeff. Davis, Rob ert Toombs, or a Brooks in the balls of Congress, they will most graciously condescend to readmit tho contrite and repentant South, to the great privilege ot standing in the halls of Congress to hear the Radical Asses bray. A HORRIBLE MURDER IN PIERCE COUNTY. The Savannah Herald learns upon reliable authority, that a gentleman named W. S. Flynn, a North Caroli nian, but resident of Picrco County, was brutally murdered about 10 o’clock on Friday night last, at No. 7J, on the A. A G. R R. by two colored men, Joe Williams and Green Jackson.— Mr. Flynn was the koeper of a little country store, and these two human fiends murdered him that they might rob the store, which they did, and then set fire to the building, nearly consum ing the body of tho murdered man. 'l’lie murderers were deteoted by a hatchet which they used, and when arrested and threatened with death by the colored people assembled, they confessed tho orirne and were com mitted to tho Blaoksliear jail. ®a?*The Radical party of Georgia arc preparing to have a grand rally at Atlanta, on tho 4th of July, and the “apostate rebel,” Joseph E.

Tin' Wheat Crop.—Sew Flour. — From all sootions of the Stato come the most cheering accounts of an un precedentedly largo wheat crop. In Cherokee alone we see it stated thi.t the yield is almost sufficient to supply the wants of the whole State. The accounts from all parts of the country indicate a bountiful harvest.

Malory gives the annexed account of the various uses of the word hell in our English Bibles: In the New Testament, of the com mon version, the English word ‘Hell’ is made to stand for three entirely different Greek words, words that have no possible connection with each oth er, and not the slightest resemblance in sound or sense. By necessity the mere English reader must confound in his mind and regard as one the three places and conditions which tho sa cred writers have carefully distin guished by three very different words. Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus. Hades is used eleven (11) times in the New Testament; Gehenna twelve (12) times ; 'Tartarus but one (1). The word Hades is properly iden tical with tho English word ‘Hell’ in its original meaning, before it had ac quired its present signification as de noting the place of future punishment. It denotes the unseen world,’ or ‘the spirit land,’ the place of departed spirits, both good and bad, and with out any reference to their character or relative condition. i ..:n .... „ij (11) in which the word Hades is used ; marking in each text the word which translates it. 1. Mat. 11 ; 23. Thou‘ Caperna um, shalt bo brought down to hell. 2. Mat. 16; 18, ‘The gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. 3. Luke 10; 15. ‘Thou, Caperna Um, shall be thrust down to hell.’ 4 Luke 16; 23. ‘ln hell he lifteij up his eyes.’ 5. Acts 2; 26. ‘Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell.’ 6. Acts 2; 31. ‘His soul was not left in hell.’ 7. Ist. Cor. 16; 55. ‘O grave, where is thy victory ?’ 8. Rev. 1 ; 18. ‘I have the kevs of hell and of death.’ 9. Rev. 6 ; 8. ‘His name wa3 Deati and Hell followed with him.’ 10 Rev. 20; 13. ‘Death and Ileil delivered up the dead.’ 11. Rev. 20 ; 15. ‘Death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire.' Os these 1 and 3 are the same, anl denote that Capernaum, which had been very prosperous, should die out, go down to death, as a man is dead when his spirit is gone to Hades. It had been exalted, as it were, to the sky; for its wickedness it should go down to the place of the dead. The prediction was fulfilled ; the city per ished, died out, and its precise locah ty is unknown. In 2 we have tho prediction that the Church of Christ will never die out, never become extinct. When a man dies, and his spirit goes into Hades, the ‘gates of Hades’ pre vail against him, but it shall not be so with the church ; it shall continue to live. In A \Cu liavo Divas, wLn ;■ rloa/l, suffering in Hades, and conversing with Abri ham, who, with Lazarus, is also in Hades, though seperated from them in some way by’ what is culled ‘a great gull.’ I do not discuss tho meaning of.this parable; but it is plain that Dives is only there in spir it, his body being still in tho grave awaiting the resurrection. He cannot be in the place of future and eternal punishment, for men go thither after tho resurn ction, spirit and body to gether. Dives cannot be suffering from real fire, for only his spirit is there and not his body. In 5 and 0 there is reference to tho spirit of Chiist being in Hades, the place of departed spirits, between his death and resurrection. We say in the creed, ‘lie descended into Hell/ meaning that he really died as any other man, and his spirit, like all hu man spirits, went to Hides; but hit spiiit was not left there, but came back on the third day and was re-uni ted to his body in his resurrection, as ours shall be at our resuncction. In 7 the word Hades is rendered grave, very improperly. At tho ros-< urreetion, when all spirits come out of Hades, and all bodies to their graves, and there are no more souls shut up there, ‘then shall bo brought to pass the saying, death is swallowed up in victory ; O, death where is thy sting '( No more death, and no more use fora place of departed spirits. In 8 Jesus Christ, who is ‘the res urreetion and tho life/ says, ‘l hi ve the keys of Hades and of Death/ and so, at tho resurrection, when lie calls tho dead to Irfo, it will be as if all spirits were in ono great dungeon call ed Hades, and all bodies in another j called Death or Grave, as if he opened tlie doors aud released them. In 9 Death is presonified as a man, riding on the pule horse, going forth to the slaughter of men —to kill them by famine and pestilence. Hades is also personified as following after Death to gather up the spirits as fast as Death could kill. In.tho great picture of ‘Death on the Palo Horse/ the expression ‘Hell followed with him,’ is absurdly rcproi seuted by imps and devils flying all along through the air. The artist no doubt thought the hell of the devils was meant, when in truth it has no relation whatever to Satan and his angels. In 10 again Death and Hades are represented ns two persons having control, the one over tho spirits and the other over the bodies of men. At the resurrection Hell or Hades will deliver up the spirits of the dead, and Death or Grave will deliver up the bodies, so that they roav be united, and thus appear soul and body togeth er, at the judgment scat of Christ. In 11, Death and Ilcll, or the Grave and Had) s, are represented as persons having charge of the dead. And is to be no more death, so there will be no ! need of these persons, and|to represent this io a striking manner, they arc | spoken of as cast into the fire and so destroyed. The second of the words translated ‘Hell’ is Gehenna, wich is used twelve times. The word means ‘Vale of Ilinnon.’ When Used literally it denotes a deep glen near. Jersulem. In heathen times it had been the place of human sacri flees and idolatrous worship. Here was the fircry Moloeh where children were burned. By tho Jews it was made the re ceptacle of all the filth and offi-l of the city, and its name became a symbol of all that was horrible aod vile. In this filth worms were generated, which suggested the “undying worm’ of fnture torment. Fins'were kept perpetually burning to destroy the filth—the un quenchable fin which became a figure of perpetual terment. Here the bodies of malefactors were cast after execu tion. , So the natn- Gehenna became figu rative of futire punishment and of capital punisiment also. If a Jew should in anger, or by way of warning, threaten you vith Gehenna or tte fires of Gehenna, ie might either mean to threaten you with hell, or future pun ishment, or with death by execution. As we say, ‘lf the goes in his evil courses he will ;ouie to the gallows ;' I so a Jew might say, ‘He will come to 'Gehenna.' Gehenna is used in the following places: 1. Mat. 5; 22. ‘ln danger of hell fire. 2. -Mat. 5 ; 20. ‘Body—be oast into hell. 3 Mat. 5 30. ‘Body—cast into lull.’ 4. Mat. 10,28. ‘Des'roy soul and body in hell. 5 Mat. 13; 9. ‘Cast into Ae//-fire.’ G. Mat. 23; 16. ‘More the child of hell. 7. Mat. 23 ; 3S. ‘Escape tho dam nation of hell ’ 8. Mark 9; 43. ‘Having two bands, to go into hell’ 9. Mark 9; 45. ‘To go into hell.’ 10. Mark 9 ; 47. ‘To be cast into hell- fire.’ 11. Luke 12 , 15. ‘Power to cast into hell.’ 12. James 3 ; G. ‘Tongue set on fire of hell.’ If there is a single word which de notes the place of the finally lost it is Gehenna, and not Hades. It will be noticed that the word Ge. henna is used only once by any but Christ himself, and that he uses it scarcely at all except in ono discourse —the ‘Sermon on the Mount,’ In example 0 and 12 the word hell is used to den.-to exceeding vileness and wickedne-s In 4 and 11 I think plainly future punishment is intended. Whether in the other places capital punishment or future punishment is intended, l leave to tlie judgment of tho reader. 1 think. »»■ several instances, our Lord means to sa\ that In; will, tor certain offences, punish wbh thut pun ishment which, in his k gdom, is equivalent to Jewish capit , nunish inent and the easting of tli, carcass to the worms und the fires of Gehenna— whatever punishment that may be. We have looked at all the places where Hades and Gehenna aro used. There remains the word Tiirtarus. — It is used only once, and that in a verbal forqj. 2 Peter 2; 4. ‘God spared not tho angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness to bo reserved unto judgment.* This ‘Tartarus’ is the place of fallen angels, and is neither the ‘Hades’ of departed spirits nor the ‘Gehenna’ of the finally lost. How certainly tho mere English reader must confound these threo entirely distinct ideas, words, and phrases. If the translators had just transfer* red these words into our English vcr. sion instead of translating them all by the one word ‘hod,’ they would havo done a yiser thing, and by this time the threo Words, Hades, Gehenna and Tartarus, would become domesticated, with such Words as Pentecost, Bishop, Deacon, Baptism, Hallelujah, and many others. Those who read their English Bibles would do well to compare these refer ences with tho books they usually read, and write on tho margin opposite the word ‘hell’ or grave, in each the letter h, or g, or t, according us the Greek word in that place is ‘hades/ ‘gehenna/ or ‘tartarus.’ The Vacancy on the Supreme Bench. —Tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel learns the gentlemen of the Bar now at Milledgev'lla, attending tho Supremo Court, have been can vassing the question of a suitable suc cessor tu tho lauiontid Lumpkin, ami that the names of Judge Warner, Judge E. A. Nisbet, and its esteemed fellow-townsman, Judge W.T. Gould, are spoken of in connection with the vacant Judgeship. It is thought in Milledgeville, adds the ('hrouicle, that thetc will be no collision between Goy. Jenkins and Gen. Pope on this question, and that the latter will recognise and ratify any appointment that the Gnvcrnor may make. Now York Market.

Freights firm Murderer Arrested.— On the night of the 28th of May last, a young man who had been passing under the name of Tomlinson and who bad been previously arrested for larceny com mitted in Quincy and elsewhere and committed for trial, broke jail in this city and escaped. On Tuesday he was recaptured by Deputy Sheriff Ha vis, in Bainbridge, Ga, who brought him back yesterday morning and he is now confined in the jail again Mr. Havis got on his track at Monticello where he had been arrested, but suc ceeding in convincing the authorities that it was a mistake, he was released. He was again arrested on suspicion in Thomasville but not detained, when he went to Bainbridge, the Deputy fol lowing and arresting him there. It turns out that a more serious charge lies agaiDst him than larceny. His real name is said to be Charles Amb rose, and that on the 2feth of Decem ber last he murdered VVm. M. Orr in Gwinnett county, Ga., but fled to this State before he could be anei-ted. The fact of the alleged murder was made known to the State authorities on Tuesday last by the arrival in this city of Major Robert Graham, of Alpha retta, Milton co., brother-in-law of the murdered man, with u requisition from the Governor ol Georgia on Governor Walker for the prisoner, who also exhibited a proclamation signed by Governor Jenkins offering a reward of Two Hundred Dollars for his arrest. The prisoner having escaped and his speedy capture not being anticipated, Major Graham returned on Wednes. day. The prisoner is a young man, not over twenty years of age, with a smooth, youthful face, fair complexion, light hair and blue eyes. — Tallahassee Flo ridian. Northern Negro Sufi rage Record.

We par ticipated in the election in New York city, and know it to be a fact, that no Republican could be found openly cir culating halluts in favor of the propo sition. and that it was almost impossi ble, at the polling plac-s, to procure an affirmative vote.

The following noble words were spoken by General Moltke, —the au thor of the plan of campaign which res ulted so disastrously to the Austrians in thclate war,-to a newspaper corres pnndont, who was about to take his leave after a long and interesting con versation : “Go,” said tho General, finallv, with a peculiar smile. “I shall iry t.. assist you, and as your pen will spe ik to many, many thousands, tell them that the last words of tho old Chief of Staff of the Prussian Army were as follows : “Let us hope that the results of this uuparall led, short and success ful campaign may bring about a glo rious future for Germany and the grow ing generation. In this severe ordeal the King has weighed his people, and the people have weighed their King.— What a feeling to be a Prussian to-Jay —from the King to tho least of his subjects. And tho young men, in whom the Prussian army must place its confidence in future struggles, have likewise been weighed; and so have the patriotism of the citizens, and the dovotedness of the whole nation.— Prussia knows herself now! That is the greatest result of tho war Ger many may say now that she really is Germany. Bhe may confidently look into the future, for sho lias seen that the I'russian eagle, on the day ot Koniggratz, soared as victoriously, as energetically, as resistlessly, as at Fehrbellin, Leuthen and Waterloo.” Military Appointments. —lt is un derstood that Gen. Pope, our Military Commander, does not consider it his duty to intervene for filling vacancies, except in such officers as are filled by popular elect ious. It is inferred, therefore, that he will take no action in the matter of a Judge of the Su- Ereme Court to supply Judge Lump in’s vacancy, but leave the matter whore it belongs under the law .of Georgia, with the Stato Executive. The Cincinnati Commercial (Radi cal) says—“lt is a national shanio that so imperfectly educated and ill-bal anced an individual as Judge Underi wood, should be endowed with a high and responsible judicial position.

Brh inst: Mysterious Disappearance —It was reported at Police Headquarters yes terday, that Mr. Ferdinand McLeod, oi Lake City, Florida, who is tempo rarily sojourning at the National Hotel in this city, had disappeared from his room. His friends are much concern ed about him, as he was known to he in possession of a large amount of money. Diligent search was mads for him yesterday by his friends, as well' as by members of the police force. Mr. McLeod was the congressman fleet from Florida, and his visit to Washington was on business connected with the Central Railroad, of whichf he is President. Coming Down.— The aspiring Jack Hamilton, of Texas, cidcvcmt Con gressman, Brigadier General, Gover nor, nnd traveling pn)igroa-l mt-ante bank, has been appointed a Register in Bankruptcy for the State of Lou isiana. This low-bred scoundrel was a rampant secessionist at the com mencement of the war, an<j solicited money to raise a legion for the Con. federate service. Failing in this, and finding that the cause he had espous ed would not succeed, he sold his -laves, deserted his wife, and fled to die Federal army; and, as a reward for his treachery, solicited and obtain ed the appointment of military Gov. ernor over the people of Texas. His brutal conduct in that capacity is well known to the country. <©“1110 Herald and Tribune aro furious over the policy foreshadowed by an extract from the Intelligencer, telegraphed yesterday. The Tribune says: “We feel that the President is (reading on dangerous ground, not only for himself, but for the country.’' The Herald says: “Congress must meet in July, it must meet with the resolute will to carry on tho move ment, now greater and more necessary than ever, of impeaching and remov ing Andrew Johnson from tho Execu tive Chair- The Times says : “It may be well to restrain such removals for the future, but it will be a grave prac tical mistake to reverse the action ta ken hitherto, and a still greater blun der to remove or punish the officers for having taken it. Greeley Signing the Bail Bond. — The irrepressible Fotroleum V. Nasby gives Mr. Greeley a tremendous rasp ; ing, in his description of the bailing of Mr. Davis. What can be more touching than the following: Never «hel I forget the shout that as-ended os Horris was a singin bis name ‘‘Three cheers for Jefferson Greeb-y and Horris Davis—on- and inseperablc, now and foreter !” shout, ed one cnthoosiasfic confeikit. “Im mortality is yours,” sed another, seix iug him by the hand ootjellj. “Jefferson Davis is the big dog nv the age, and you, ray dear sir, are now the tin kettlo tied too hi*. Wbat joy I What happinis! When pos* terity spi aks uv him the’ll sp*ak uv yu! ’ I coodent rcstrane myself no more. Bus tin into tears I fell into Greeley’s buzxnm and we embraced. Ex he hedn’t big spectacles on he sposed it was Davis hissetf, and he busted into tears also, and there wux one of the most striking tablooe ever exhibited. I got awxj afors he dis kivered his mistake. 1 * Masonic Notice. MKVBERS of St. Thomas I -ode*.
