The Murder of Maximilian—An Appeal to Avenge his Death. New Orleans, July 13.—Noon. — The following proclamation is being circulated on the Rio Grande border: Americans : Shall the civilized people of a great nation stand passive, and, by their silence, assent to the most barbarous act of the nineteenth century —the butchery in cold blood, by a mongrel race of God-lorsaken wretches, of a man who, by treachery, became a prisoner of war? lie was certainly not a filibuster, for he would not con sent to become their Emperor until a large and poworful delegation of the representatives of the Mexican Gov ernment waited on him in Europe and pressed his acceptance of the Mexican Grown, and which he only accepted after much reluctance. History teach es that the Mexican people, for nearly the last half century, have been inoa pable of self-government, while Maxi milian has shown to the world that he was the best ruler they ever had, and was doing all that a wise man could do to develope the resources of. that coun try until betrayed by Judas Iscariot, in whom he trusted. Maximilian was one of nature’s noblemen, bccauso he was an educated Christian gentleman, and all his acts were high toned, chiv alric and becoming the brother of an Emperor. He was a brave man, and died as a pure sacrifice to beastly swine. The civilized world will honor and re vere his memory for his many virtues for ages to come, while it will shrink with horror and detestation from the perpetrators of this most dastardly outrage of modern history. Araerii cans ! The blood-hound Escobedo has insolently and defiantly declared to the world that before closing his milii tary career he hopes to see the blood of every foreigner spilt that resides in his country. Shall this be so ? Out with this foul blot that stains the American continent. Let us meet in our strength that we may give expres sion to our ineffgnation, and let it fall on those who, in the eyes of the Chris tian world, are morally responsible for the death of Maximilian. Yea, even though it fall upon a Secretary of State, whose little bell, alas, did not tinkle to save the life of one of the best men that ever lived. “Honor to whom honor is due, but let justice be done though the heavens should fall." [Signed,] A Native op New York. Maximilian’s Decree. —The an nexed decree of Maximilian is the main point urged against him at his trial, and is, therefore, of historic in, terest. It is held that atrocities were committed under it, which, however, was denied on 'the trial, and the addi tional statement made that it was de signed as a terror and prepared by the French Commander-in-chief. Mexicans: Tho cause which Don Benito Juarez defended with so much valor and constancy has already suc cumbed under the force, not only of ifhe national will, butaisoot the other law which that officer invokes in sup port of his pretensions. To-day even the faction to which the said cause is degenerated is abandoned by the de parture of the chief from his native soil. The national government for a long time was lenient, and exercised great clemency, so as to givo those misled and misinformed men an opportunity ifca rally to the majority of tho nation, and to place themselves anew in tho path of duty. It has fulfilled its ob ject; tho honorable men have assem bled under its banner, and have accep ted the just and liberal principles •which regulate its politics. The dis order is only maintained by some lea. ■dors carried away by unpatriotic pas sions, assisted by demoralized porsons, itoo ignorant to comprehend political principals, and by an unprincipled soldiery, tho last and sad remnants of rthc civil war. Hereafter contests will •only ffe between the honorable men of the nation and tho gangs of crimi nals and robbeis. Clemency will cense now, for it would only profit the mob who burn villages, rob and murder peaceful citizens, poor old men and defenceless women. The government, resting cn its pow er, from this day will be inflexible in its punishments, since the laws of civilization, the rights of humanity and the exigencies of morality de mand it. Maximilian. Mexico, October 2, 1865. Confiscation. —It is now said on what may be considered semi-official authority that the question of confis cation will not be permitted to be act ed upon until the regular session of Congress, commencing with the first Monday in December. At least such is believed to be Mr, Stevens’ view of the matter, he being satisfied that any action on the subject now would provo abortive, and only result in opening the eyes of the negroes to the rascally deception being practiced upon them. There are but eight confiscationists in the House and two in the Senate. ®6yThe debate in the Connecticut Legislature on the divorce laws brings out the fact, that during the past year 488 dissolutions of the marriage bond occurred in that small State, and that daring the previous year there were quite as many divorces. One lawyer who took part in the debate said he had himself procured within the year three divorces for one woman! Phis beats Chicago, and Chicago beats— well, any other place this side of Hades J&'We learn that an intelligent eolored man of Newton county, who had been spoken of as a registrar, up on hearing the “iron-clad” oath read, remarked that he could take it consci entiously, but said he would be d—d if he would eit with white men who could ! — Sav. Herald. UmitlKnt Enterprise ~~ (SEMI-WEEKLY.) L. C. BRYAN, : : : : Editor. THOMASVILLB, GA.: FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1867. SOUTH GEORGIA & FLORIDA RAILROAD, It will be gratifying to the friends of tho above road in Thomas, to find that the people of Dougherty and Mitohell counties are beginning to manifest a deep interest in the enter prise. It will be seen by the call we publish to-day, for a meeting in Al bany, that our friends at the other end of the road are goiDg to work in good earnest, with a determination to build the road with the feast possible delay. That is the right spirit, such a spirit as that which moved Thomas county, and a spirit that will speedily unite Thomasville and Albany with bonds of iron. We must have representatives in the Albany meeting and get all the counties interested together for final action. TRIAL OF MAXIMILIAM. The trial of the Austrian Archduke and Emperor of Mexico, Maximilian, ■seems to have been a mere form to excuse cold blooded murder. Even the rules of Mexican law were not complied with, but the Courtmartial hurried through the few preliminaries to execution, as if fearful that by some means the great prisoners would es cape their bloody clutches. A more cowardly and beastly barbarian outrage has not been perpetrated since the fall of the Spanish Inquisition, from which the Mexicans have doubtless inherited their barbaric cruelty. The whole ci vilized world, and even the Northern Republicans, were shocked and dis gnsted by the news of this greatest of Mexican atrocities. The only people we have heard from who pretend to respectability, that have not expressed their horror and disgust of these atro cious murders, is a few Northern Rad icals, headed by Forney and Logan , who the world knows, would butcher 8,000,000 of enlightened white pea pie, to scoure the votes of half a mil lion illiterate colored men. It was doubtless tho advice and encourage ment of such men that inspired the bloody deed of Juarez in Mexico. Forney and Logan liavo set up a howl of disappointment, like oowardly hye nas, cheated of their prey, because they were not allowed to butcher Southern men who they feared to meet in arms, but they are greatly consoled upon discovering a 11 fellow feeding ’’ in Juarez, who, more fortunate than them selves, enjoyed the opportunity of quenching his thirst for blood. Their Mexican champion of “nerve," how ever, will have but brief rest with his gorge of human gore. Already tho “ hand has written upon the wall," and the murderer of Maximilian and his Generals, hears the muttering thun ders of discontent, and tho penis grow louder and tho lightning’s flash brigh ter and fiercor, as tho blood of the in nocent cries for rovengo and sends a thrill of horror through the gathering hosts. And it will be revenged ! Heaven has decreod it since the day Mount Sini trembled to its base with the judgments against “man’s inhu manity to man.” Let Forney and Logan therefore be assured, that their “Dragon’s Tooth” have sprung up in Mexico, and takan deep root in the soil of that unhappy country. Lot them be assured also, that the harvest is rapidly approaching, and that For ney and Logan shall be cowardly spec tators of tho gathering. MAXIMILIAN’S JUDGES. The time may come when our read ers may desiro to remember tho names of the bloodthirsty men who composed the Court which condemned and sen* tcnced Maximilian to die the doatb of a traitor. Maximilian, Miramon, Meija, wore the three noblo heads which fell by the sontenco of a Court composed or the following material : President— -Lt. Col. l’laton Sanoltez. Members —Capt. Joso Y. Ramirez, Capt. Miguel Lojero, Capt. Ignacio Jurndo, Uapt. Juan Ruodnry Anza, Capt. Joso Verasti&ue, Uapt. Lucas Villagrnu. Judge Advocate, Lieut. Col. Man uel Aspirox. Maximilian chose for his counsol, Mr. JeßUs Varquez, Kulnlio Ortega, Mariano ltiva Riva l’alacio and Raf ael Martinez dq la Torro. Miramon choso Messrs. Jauregui and Ambrosio Moreno. Mejia choso Mr. I’rospero C. Yoga. These last are tho men who exerted all their ability and exhausted all their eloquence, the brief period allotted by Juarez would allow, to divert tho bloody vengcanoe of a tyrant; but thoy appealed to tho dark and remorseless hearts of barbarians. Radical Congross—Extra Session- House. —Mr. Stevens introduced two bills on reconstruction, one enti tled a bill to enable the inhabitants of the Southern territories to form State governments. They were ordered to be printed, and referred to the Com mittee on Reconstruction. Washington, July 16.—Our Consul at Yera Cruz, under date of June 28, writes to the State Department that the City of Yera Cruz and Castle of Saint Juan de Ulloa is in quiet pos session of the Mexican national Gen. Benavides. The Imperial chief und foreign troops have embarked and left the country. SOUTH GEORGIA & FLORIDA RAILROAD. The following letter addressed to the Albany News, and referring to the call of citizens for a Railroad Meeting at Albany, will show some ol the interest felt for our railroad enterprise in Dougherty county: Albany, Ga., July 16, 166". Mr. Editor :—l would call attention to the suggestion of some of the leading citi zens of Dougherty and Mitchell counties, for a Railroad Meeting, which will appear in your columns to-day. To say that this road will save you nearly one-half of the present high freights on Western produce, and put Albany in fifty miles nearer to tide-water, and give competition at both points, with monopo lies that seem determined to exact the ut most farthing possible, is enough to show that this road must be built at once. Let other projects give way to the only prac ticable one, and let us all concentrate in this at once. 1 assure you our people feel a deep in terest in the road, and will subscribe lib erally to it, when properly brought before (hem. Yours, truly, R. K. IIINES. Lest — in Disgust. —Col. Hart, who was defeated yesterday, says the Flo rif ian of the 12th, for President of the Republican Convention, left this morning in the 10 o’clock train for Jacksonville, carrying with him, we are told, several delegates Tho Col. onel’s fate is another illustration of the “ingratitude of”—Republicans, lie has labored, so his friends say, early and late, for “the party;’’ and it was even alleged in tho debate yes terday that but for him, this Conven tion would not have been held. In point of fact, he was held up as tho father of the Republican party in Flo rida. But his children repudiate him —drive him "forth and take possession of the horitage. “ Keen were liis pangs, but keener far to feel lie nursed the pinion that impelled the steel.” Tallahassee Sentinel. The fate of Col. Hart, foreshadows the fate of some intensely negro loving white Radicals in Geoigia. Already some of the Southern Yankee Radi cals are becoming alarmed at the am> lit ion of their colored dupes, and be gin to see that the colored man con siders himself quite as competent to hold office as an ignorant Yankee oiti zenized by the Sherman bill. For our- Belf, we have to say that we are ready always to vote for the blackest negro men in tho South, in preference to any recently imported incendiary Radical, in the Frcedmen’s Bureau or out of it, and we shall bring out colored candi dates against all such. Prom the Albany Tri Weekly News. SOUTH GEORGIA & FLORIDA RAILROAD. To the Citizens of Tho in it*, Dough erty mill mitchell Counties i We, tho undersigned, feeling a deep interest in the early completion of the Railroad from Thomasville to Albany, would most respectfully call the atten tion of all interested to the fact, that if an immediate and united effort is made this road can be secured. The charter, granted by the Legislature, cannot be used for any other road, and the road if built as chartered, will provo a fine investment and a publie benefit. Wo would urge that immediate steps bo taken by those interested to begin the enterprise. Asa preliminary step, we would suggest a public meeting bo held in Albany upon some day in Au gust next, that may be selected by tho Thomasville friends of the road, and that at suoh meeting some definite plan of operations bo agreed upon for future action.

The Prospective Satrapy of Ken tucky.—Tho Louisville Deinoorat, is in spite of its name Radical, and well posted in tiro revolutionary designs of its party, gives notieo that should Kcn tuoky elect a Demooratio Governor, she will bo degradod from her high position as a State, and reduced to a military district with an army officer at her head. This result, the Demo crat says, is “as certain as that God divided the waters from the waters.” Thus wc see the revolutionary party “lengthening their cords and strength ening their stakes.’’ Good for Butler. —Speaking of ne gro suffrage in the South, General Butler, in his impeachment spcoch in New York, said : Universal, impartial suffrage, allied to universal ignorance, will only add to our danger—giving to the masses the club of Hcrculos, to be wielded with tho strength of the blind Samson, after he has been a slave grindiug in the house of the Philistines. From Washington. Washington, July 15. —The Piesi dont sent to the Senate the document called for, regarding reconstruction, and estimates the expense of carrying out these bills at 814,000,000 addi tional to the $2,100,000 already ex pended. This is the aggregate for governing these States before the war. This turn, continues tho President, would be considerably augmented if the State machinery be operated by the Federal government, and would be largely increased if the United States, by abolishing tho State government, should become responsible for liabili ties incurred by them before the re bellion, in laudiblc efforts to develop their resources, and in no wise connec ted with insurrectionary purposes.— These debts will approximate a bun drod million dollars, the greater part of which is due loyal citizens and for eign:rs. Its subject for Congressional con sideration, is whether the assumption of such obligations would not impair the national credit. Ex-Gov. Johnson on Resonstruc tion- Augusta, r’uly 16. —Ex-Governor Hershell V. Johnson has writton a letter in which he advises the people of Georgia not to accept the terras of the Militarj Reconstruction acts. Af ter reviewirg the situation and terms proposed for reconstruction of the Southern States, he sys: “ I never will approve of, consent to, or accept the poisoned chalice offered to our lips, nor will I advise any fellow citizen to do so. If jormitted to vote, in view of the turn of events, I should register and I hope every man in Georgia who can will do so, with tho view of defeat ing tho schemes for degradation and the overthrow of republican govern ment.” The Reconstruction Bill passed by Congress on Saturday, differs in two important respects from the meas ure that originally passed the House. The latter provided that all persons now in office in tlie late seceded States should take the iron-clad oath, while tho measure as finally passed provides that it shall be administered to “all persons hereafter elected or appointed to office in said districts.’’ In the secoud place, the House bill provided specifically that no court, State or Federal, should interfere in any manner with the District Com manders or their subordinates. The bill as passed rejects this language and provides that “ no District Commander shall be bound in his action by any opinion of any civil officer of the Uni ted States.” As Congress refused to designate the courts and adopted gen eral language, tho natural inference is that they did not intend to deny juris diction to those tribunals; but like everything else that comes from the Radicals, the language was made gen eral for the express purpose of throw ing responsibility on tho commanders nnd allowing thorn to construo the law as they please and set asido all au thoiity over them, from the courts or elsewhere. — Telegraph. Tennessee. —The Louisville Journal daguerreotypes our unhappy sister State under tho rule of Southern Radicals, who are far more to be dreaded than tho fanatics of the North. This is tho situation and the specta cle in Tennessee : Tho candidate for tho principal State offico has tho sole appointment of the registers, who can decide without appeal who shall and who shall not vote in tho election.— This candidate announces, by procla mation, that lie will rcccivo only the returns of the judges and clerks of his own appointmeut; lie declares that his own constructions of tho franchise law is the law itself; and he endeavors to intimidate tho nnti-Brownlow voters by threatening to bayonet them if they npprouoh the polls. And this is what Radicalism calls “guaranteeing a Republican form of government to every State,” and a fair sample of tho sort of reconstruction which makos Tennessee a Stato in the Union, while Texas is onlya territorial appendage. Why Maximilian was Shot. —Mr. Romero is said to attribute tho stern measures against Maximilian and the Mexican rebels to “the desire of the Mexican authorities to take warning by tho ill success of the conciliatory policy of the President and Cabinet of tho United States toward traitors, and also a desire to win the sympathies of tho dominant political party in this country by a stringent and relentless roUI'MO (vjnr«ar«l tho (Wlftll uml JottlOt* tic enomicHof tho Mexican Republic.’’ There is no doubt but that Juarez had the approval of the Radicals when he murdered Maximilian, and recent developments in Congress show how well he lias succeeded. Some interest ing views on this point will bo found in our Washington letter on the first page.— - Telegraph , Mail Service at the South —We are glad to learn, from tho National In. telligencer, that the Southern mail ser vice, restored as before the war, which went into operation on the Ist instant, includes about ono thousand routes, and is as completely under contract with responsible parties as at any for mer period. No effort has becti spared by the Department to furnish the very best service in regard to frequency of trips and best connections, so that tho most remote part of each State may be laterally webbed with postoflices.

Sibley will have his head, quarters. [YOR the southern enterprise.] TO THE MEN OF COLOR OF THOMAS COUNTY. Number 3. I intended to tell you in my last, (but my article became too long,) that the only traitor you read of in the his tory of the old Revolutionary War, Was tho Yankee General Benedict Arnold. He was a brave and untiring soldier; but his inherent love of money opened his bosom to the temptation of British gold; he betrayed his charge, bar gained away his trust, and was upon the point of delivering it over to the enemy, when our great and beloved Washington counteracted his proceed ings and saved the country. It appears to me, that these people are given over to the devil to do his mean and dirty work. Let them go at what they will--start when and where they may—let their aim be mo ral or malicious —religious or rascally— they cannot help bringing up with some mean, money making speculation, in which someone is to suffer. It will bo well for you to treasure up this little p ; ece of their history in your minds; it will afford you tho key by which you can unlock and see into much of their pretended good inten tions towards you. Recollect, that whatever they propose to do fur you, they expect to be rewarded for it; and in any bargain between you and them, they look for the lion’s share; and will have it too, unless you watch them very closely. 1 have said that they come long dis tances, and spend much money, under tho pretence of disinterested friend ship towards you, but you may calcu late that thoy have some money leak ing scheme connected with their move ment, by which they hope fully to pay, and doubly pay themselves back again, or they would not be there. They do nothing upon any other terms. Why, at home, among themselves, members of the same family will keep little ac counts against each other for trifling sums and expenditures —the father against the son and the son against the father—the mother against the daugh ter and tho daughter against the mo ther—brother against sister and sister against brother. It is amusing to a Southern man visiting the North, to hear one Yankee invite another into a public drinking saloon, to take some refreshment with him; and then see him (No. 1,) coolly put down his five or ten cents for his own drink aud leave his friend (No. 2,) to pay for his. But this is tho custom of the country, brought about by the greedy, grasp ing, avaricious disposition of the peo ple. And so raised at home —with such dispositions ingrafted within them from childhood—with every hu mane and natural affection torn from their breasts by the love of gain, do you think they will put tbemsolves to the expense and trouble aforesaid, for you, all strangers to them, for nothing ? You aro not only black, but nctually pea green if you think any such thing. From a generous, high-toned Southern man you might look for liberal acts without his calculating on any special reward, as you have seen it from your youth up, but, in plain terms, you are a fool if you expect any such thing from a Yankee. I am not so ungen erous as to say that the above charac ter is universal in Yankcedom; but it is general, and the exceptions are few and far between. Your loving Uncle Ben. Tftad Stevens on Confiscation. —A correspondent of the New York Her ald professes to have had a conversa. lion with Old Thad. Here is part of it: Question. —Do you still adhere to the policy of confiscation ? Mr. Stevens. —I look on tho lead ing rebels of tho South as great crinn inals, who have not yet expatiated their crimes. They have entailed up on the loyal people, by their voluntary and wieked acts, much suffering and sorrow—tho loss of millions of treas* uro and hundreds of thousands of lives. They have done this in the very worst cause that could bo coo. ceivcd—in an attempt to break up a noble, benefioient and freo govern ment. They have waged upon us a flagrantly unjust war. They deserve to have imposed upon them tho heav iest penalties of war, now that they are conquered. But as they are our countrymen I would be merciful to them. I would not tako their lives, and I would not begger and oppress them. But if I had my way, I would at tho very least impose upon the rich moil of the ex-rebel territory— those who have come out ol their wieked struggle with large weallh —a mild confiscation, sufficient to repay the loyal men of the South all they have lost by confiscation at the hands of the rebels, and Northern men all tho dam ages they havo suffered by rebel raids and invasions,. Thcro aro thirty or forty thousand rich rebels in the con quered territory whose wealth would suffice to pay theso claims and yet not leave them beggars. These classes of sufferers by tho war have no other means or hope of obtaining repayment, for their losses, and it is but just that they should be repaid. Mexico. —Blow at the Church — Ortega in the Field. —A coirespon dent v oftho New York Times writes from tho City of Mexico, on the 2d, as follows: The blow to tho Church has been struch by Bax. He ordered, last night, the nuns to disocupy the con vents within forty-eight hours. So from henceforth there are to be no more convents in Mexico. The disoc upation is going on to-day, and by sunrise to-morrow tho SCO nuns of this Capital will be separated, never, per. haps, to reunite ou earth Letter from Gen. Toombs. The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes the following: Washington, Ga., Juno 19, ’67. My Dear Sir: Your letter of the 6th instant was duly received, and would - have been before replied to but for my absence from homo. Having but recently arrived in the United States I knew nothing of yotlr pro posed organization—What it was for, or Who were in it—when I wrote my letter in reply to your’s of the 9th ult. After the reception of yours of the 6th inst., with the proceedings of tho Cincinnati Convention, I accept with the greatest pleasure the position to which I hava been assigned, and will cheerfully give my utmost efforts to promote, establish and vitalize those principles. The first Kentucky resolution con* tains the principles of my Whole polit ical life. I have stood by them from my youth to the present hour, I have maintained them in peace and war, in power and out of power, in prosperity and adversity ; and I am as ready to day as I was thirty years ago, when I entered public life as a nullifier, “to spend and be spent’’ in the sacred cause ; and if my sacrifices of all sorts had been a thousand times more than they have been, I should considerthem well spent “for a lost cause,” rather than accept any other interpretation of the American Constitution. I, therefore, accept any man as a brother, in peace or war, who will hon, estly stand by and defend them. I will be with him as long as the weak, ness of humanity will enable me to stand by the truth to my own hurt. — Therefore, “sink or swim, survive or perish,” I am with the West and South for the maintainance of the Cincinnati Platform of April 13th. I will take immediate measures to organize the State of Georgia on that basis, and will urge the true men of the (so called) ten rebel State to “fall into line.’’ You can fully count on them—l have tried them. I will leave to-morrow with the view of beginning the organization in Georgia, and enlarging yonr subscrip tion, as tlie means of propagating true constitutional ideas, and I will en deavor to send you subscriptions, from time to time, as tho organization is en larged . I regret nothing in the past but the dead and the failure, and I am to-day ready to use the best means I can co nmand to establish the principles for which 1 fought. * * * * * I am, respectfully and truly, your friend, R.
