July 23, 1867. —Montgomery Blair spoke at Rockbridge, Alum Springs, Saturday, severely denounced the Radicals and President Johnson. He said the latter defeated the Conserva tive party by retaining its enemies in office. He would advise the Presi dent to get rid of the spies around him and make Gen. Grant, who he be lieved was a just man, temporary Sec retary. New Orleans. —The cotton pros' pects continue dubious, owing to con. tinued rains. The worm has appeared in some districts and the wet weather prevented the grass being cleaned out. Jt is reported that in some sections the .cotton has been plowed up and corn •planted.

Washington, July 20.—The excite, ment in the House to-day was very great, the impeachcrs taking advan> taga of a thin House, carried their point of ordering the evidence reported and printed, but Mr. Wilson who has strongly opposed the movement trifled over the matter until the Speaker’s hammer fell for adjournment. This again defeating them, there was an ir regular discussion regarding adjourn ment, in which the President was de. nounced as contumacious, and Mr. Chandler said there was a sort of a hybrid concern in the Senate, called 'Conservative Radicalism. Mr. Fessenden took further remarks <of Chandler as personal, and said ho had but one thing to say—“ The Se nator from Michigan says what is not true.” Mr. Chandler hurled back Mr. Fes senden’s contempt with scorn, when the amiable controversy was intenup ted by a motion to go into Executive session. The Senate adopted the report of the Committee of Conference, and ad journed to the 21st of November. The President nominated Horace Greeley for the Austrian Mission, but -objection being made under tho rule of the Senate, that nominations cannot be’considered the same day, the nomi nation goes over. The Houso resolution ordering thir ty-five hundred oopies of the report on Physics, and the Ilydography of the Missiissippi river. Passed.

A large number of the citizens of Dougherty county, having expressed the desire to hold their South Georgia & Florida Railroad meeting at a time convenient for the friends of tho road in Thomas, we are authorized to an nounce that Wednesday, the 7th day of August, will suit the convenience of those among us who will be able to meet our friends of Dougherty in oounsel.

DON’T PAIL TO REGISTER. We publish to-day the list of ap pointments of the Board for liegistrai tion in Thomas county, and say to all go and register. Don’t stop to en quire whether you can register or not. Go to the Board and decide it there. Many men who think they cannot reg. ister, will find that they can register. At any rate, give it a fair test. It may be of the greatest importance to you hereafter to have your name reg> istered. It can harm no man and may turn out to be of vast importance. You may be disfranchised by the Board, but you will certainly be disfranchised if you fail to go before it. FIFTY STUMP SPEAKERS COMING! The Savannah Republican, as its name indicates, a Republican journal, disapproves the course of tho Northern Republicans in filling the South with stump speakers, to distract and stir up enmity and hatred among tho people at this important crisis. The Radicals are resolved to convert the negroes at all hazards, and for that purpose they arc organizing a corps of stump demo gogues, distinguished for thoir un blushing impudence* thoir total want of humanity and regard for law and good order. These fair samples of Northern Radicals are to be distribu ted over tho South to “cnliyhtei »’’ tho deluded blacks and prepare them for the ballot box. Tho Savannah Republican depre cates Buch aotion on tho part of its Northern friends and says, “We are for party, but not bo lost to all sense of honor and patriotism as to sink our love of country that source, and hasten to recognize tho re turning sense of justice. BEAST BUTTLER ON NEGRO SUFFRAGE. Who would have thought that Beast Buttler could find it in his heart to oppose negro suffrage ? Yet so it is Buttler thinks that “universal ignor ance” should not be allied with univer sal suffrage. But hear him: In his impeachment speech in New York lie said : “Universal, impartial suffrage, allied to universal ignorance, will only add to our danger; giving to tho masses the club of Hercules, to ho wicldod with the strength of the blind Samson, alter ho has been a slave grinding in tho house of the Philistines.” lie opposos nogro suffrage, Hot be cause of the great injury which the South would sustain from its adoption, but because lie sees in it the certain destruction of tho Federal Govern ment. THE VETO AND IMPEAC MENT. A Washington dispatch of the 19th inst quotes tho closing paragraph of tho Presidents veto messago, and gives us somo light on tho impeach■ incut sensation. The President says: “With abiding confidence in this patriotism, wisdom and integrity, I am still hopeful of the future, and that in the end the rod of despotism will be broken, tho armed rulo of power he lifted from tho neoks of the people, and the principles of a violated con stitution preserved.” Immediately aftor reading tho mes sage, the impeachers made a strong effort. Mr. Boutwell, Mr. Butler and others characterized tho messago as defiant. Mr. Stevens said they were urging that matter in vain—“there are unseen agenoios at work ; there are invisible powers at work in this country which will prevent impeach ment. I repeat, any attempt to im peach tho President will be vain and futile.” Mr. Wilson, Chairman of the Judi ciary Committee, denounced Stevens’ insinations, assorting that no amount of political pressure should tnrn him aside front his discharge of duty to the law and the fact. [Applause from tho Democratic sido ] Mr. Stevens, without reply,demand ed the vote and tho bill passed—lo 9 to 24. LETTERS OF HON. B. H. HILL. The powerful and universally read letters recently contributed to the Au gusta Chronicle <& Sentinel, by Hon. B. 11. Hill, aro now published in pamphlet form, and may be obtained through orders addressed to the Chro nicle 3? Sentinel. We hope tho pub- Ushers of Mr. Hill's letters will now include in the pamphlet, his able ppeeoh at Atlanta on tho 16th iqst. THE PRESIDENT’S VETO. Alluding to the declaration that “the State Governments are illegal,'' the President says : A singular contradiction is appa rent here: Congress declares the lo cal State governments to be illegal governments, and then provides that these illegal governments shall be car ried on by Federal officers who arc to perform the very duties imposed on its own officers by this illegal State authority. It certainly would be a novel spectacle if Congress should at tempt to carry on a legal State gov. ernment by the agency of its own of ficers. It is yet more strange that Congress attempts to sustain and car ry on an illegal State government by the same Federal agency.’’ With regard to title by conquest, he says: “Itis anew title acquired, by war. It applies only to territory, for goods or moveable things regularly captured in war are called booty, or if taken by an individual soldier, plun der. There is not a spot of land in any one of these ten States which the United States holds by conquest, save only such land as did not belong to either of these States or any individ ual owner. I mean for such lands as did belong to the pretended Government called the Confcdera’e States. These lands we may claim to hold by conquest; as to all other land or territory, whether belonging to the States or individuals, the Federal Government has now no more title or right to it than it had before the re bellion.” The message concludes: “ Within a period less than a year the legislation of Congres has attemp ted to strip the Executive Department of the Government of some of its es< sentia! powers. Thu Constitution, and the oath provided in it, devolve upon the President the power and the duty to see that the laws are faithful' ly executed. The Constitution, in order to carry out this power, gives him the choice of tho agents and makes them subject to his control and supervision; but in the execution of these laws the constitutional obliga tion upon the President remains, but the power to exercise that constitu tional duty is effectually taken away. The Military Commander is as to the power cf appointment, made to take the place of the President, and the General of the Army the plico of the Senato; any attempt on the part of the President to assert his own con. stitutional power may, under pretence of law, be met by official insubordi nation. It is to be feared that these military officers, looking to the authority given by tho laws rather than to the letter of tho Constitution, will recognize no au thority but tho Commander of the District and the General of the Army. If there wore no other objections than this to this propoecd legislation it Whilst T h-U the chief executive authority of tho United States; whilst tho oblgation rests upon me to see that all the laws aro faithfully executed, I can nevor willingly surrender that trust or tho powers given for its execution. I can never give my consent to be made re sponsible fur tho laithful execution of laws, arid at the same time surrender that trust and the powers which ac> company it to any other executive of ficer, high or low, or to any number of executive officers. Sale of an Engine. The Neptuno Fire Company, No. 1, of ’] homasvillo, being desirous of ob taining a good hand engine, mado ap plication to tho City Council for tliat purpose. Tho Council thereupon de puted Mr. Geo. A. Jeffers, a former citizen of Savannah, who is now Pres ident of that company, to proceed to this city and seo what ho could do. Accordingly, on his arrival, finding the Chid Fireman absent from tho city, ho had an interview with Mr James’A. Barron, the Acting Chiof of tho Department. Thoir negotiations resulted in the transfer of tho engine formerly used by the Washington Company to tho Neptunes. This en gine lias done good service at fires in this city for somo years past, and after being repaired and overhauled, will prove liorself a good machine, and un der the efficient oaro of George Jol l'era nnd his company will bo able to subdue almost any fire that may ao cur in Thouiasvillo. Besides having tho machine thor oughly overhauled, repaired and pain ted, Mr. Barren is also authorised to procure 500 feet of new hose and a jumper to carry it; trumpets for tin officers, spanners for each member, and new fronts for their tiro hats. When tho “Old Live Oak” is thoroughly re juvenated and ready for shipment, Mr. Barren proposes anew idea. In stead of having tho engine hauled to tho railroad by drays, ho suggests that tho mombers of tho old Washington Company show thoir appreciation of their old machine as well as- their fel lowship with the Neptuno company of Thouiasvillo, by turning out ou uiusso, and hauling it themselves to tho de pot. “ Barron ” has been an active fireman for twenty years and better, and a suggestion of this kind, coming trom him, will bo enthusiastically adopted by the members of tho com pany over whioh ho long presided, aud who still retain a lovo for ono who did all in his power to build up tho com pany.-- Savannah Advertiser.

City of Mexico, June 26,1RG7. — The policy th.it is pursued by the Re publicans so far since their triumph at Qucretaro lias been nlooi)! blood! blood! Nothing but executions, imprison-, j merits and extortions have thus far marked the now era which has dawned upon Mexico, by the destruction of the Empire, and over which so many promising prop'ncies wore made.— Eighteen hundred tpon, strangers and Mexicans, bearing arms, have been shot at Qucretaro since the capitula tion of that city, and not an evening lias come or a morning broken but what the clang of rifles is hoard at the different public plazas or squares. Whenever wo hea.’ these reports, at eventide or sunrise, we know that somo uncondcmned Frenchman, Ger mans or Mexicans arc being pierced through by bullets. Np trial allowed, no confession granted, but death, death, and blood, blood are demanded by this so-called Liberal Government. 8o far as we have seen, with but few exceptions,. it is com posed of a motley crowd---and one thing is certain, no foreigner can live here. The persecutions upon all of them, Americans as well as others, have begun with earnest. All the Consulates and Foreign Legations were entered and searched last even, ing, against the protests of the respec. tive Consuls and Ministers. “Leave tho country —we don’t want you here,” are the greetings given to all foreign residents.

Number 4 In ray last numbers I gave you a sketch of those orators and pro!eased iriends from New England, who visit you of late with such honied words and sweet pretensions. You have, no doubt, found the picture quite lifelike, and the ooloring and shading true to nature. That was all I designed. The soft pine and jack-knife I left out on purpose. All the rest is correct. According to my programme, I now want to talk to you a little about your selves. To tell you where you come from—how you came here —and where these Yankee friends of yours want to get you. I need not tell you that your present’gencration are all natives of the American soil, born in this country, but descended from African progenitors. Do you ask how your forefathers came to be imported into tljis country, and reduced to slavery ? I answer---not by any Southern Plan ter, or any Southern Merchant, or any Southern ship. These are all harm less and innocent of the deed ; and’ if these, your Yankee visitors , fell you otherwise, they only add another to their numerous’falsehoods already ut tered. The American Continent was dis covered about the close of the Fif teenth Century, in the year 1492. Tho Mariner’s Compass was already in use, and the Portuguese, Venetians, Span iards, Hollanders or Dutch, and in a short time afterwards the English, all had vessels navigating different parts of the world. But the Americans, who were all Indians and savages at that time, had none; and until they saw the small ships of Christopher Cos. lumbus, which came from Spain, by whom the discovery was made, they had never seen a floating vessel larger than a canoe, and did not know what a ship was. In a century or two af- * terwards, permanent Colonies were planted on ’he American Continent, in South America by the Spaniards;, and in North America mostly by the English. The vessels first above men tioned had already Visited the African Continent, Where they went to trade for ivory, gold dust, sandal wood, olive oil and some other articles of com merce. Tho owners and traders in these vessels were not slow to learn of the English Colonics in America, and the need the Planters in those Colo nies had for manual labor; and they at once conceived the idea of supply ing the demand from Africa to their own profit. They knew that the petty kings of that country were in the habit of- making war upon each other; of taking their enemies prisoners and re ducing them to perpetual slavery ; and that the prisoners might be had tor a very trifling sum—a small piece of CUIIOU Ulolh, a few beutla, biaws itnae*, or other almost valueless trinkets. This trade was at onco entered into by the African traders from England. The slaves were procured and carried to tho Colonies ; the trade was found to be profitable; the Planters needed their labor and purchased them ; and thus tho first slaves wore introduced into the British Cofenies, the original Uni ted States, by foreigners, mostly the English. The English nnd other Eu ropeans owned all the ships, and they alone could and did import all the slaves N > Southern Planter over im ported one of them, nor did lie oyer advanco The first dollar to aid in their transportation or introduction. The European merchants sent their own ships, and purchased tho slaves with their own money. The slaves were captives taken in war by other Afri ' cans, and brought by those Euiopean merchants to this country and sold to the Planters, like any other merchan dise. The had nothing to do with them until they were brought hero and offered for sale; and he pur chased them then because he needed their servioes and could not get the labor any where else. More in next paper. Your loving, Unolk Ben. Washington, July 21, —The latest official accounts received at the Greek Legation give tcrrildo accounts of Turkish cruelties in Crete. The Cretes inflicted severe punishment on one of Omul l’asha’s spies.

Stevens' Joist Bill. —This remarkable document provides sot. the overthrow of military power in the South ; the abolition of State Govern ments; the vesting of all power in the territories in three “Commissioners of Reconstruction,” two to be nominated by tho Houso and one by the Senate, for each territory; everybody to keep their hands off except Congress, ants the military to remain only to preserve tho peace, under tho direction of the Commissioners; nobody to vote who took part iu the war, etc., etc. Freedom of opinion is rapidly be coming a myth in this country. It is announced by telegraph that “General Grant has approved a suggestion from General Dope, that Confederates who oppose tho Congressional reconstruc tion act violates the terms of their parole ” War on the Freedmon s Bureau. . I did maintain, apd still do, that th e Bureau itself is an illogical anomalvi and in direct antagonism to the recog nized freedom of the negro. The man that is at liberty to vote for his own candidate, should be at liberty to make his own contract; the citizen intelligent enough to participate in the affairs of government, is intellignt enough to manage his piivate affairs. I did advise the freedmen, and still do, that their fiist duty, after the edu cation of the children, was to exercise their constitutional privilege of “peti tioning lor a redress of grievances,’’ and demand of Congress the abolition of that unecessary and humiliating guardianship known as the Freedmen’s Bureau. Until that is done, they are not freemen before the'laty or society, but mere political tools in a tjuasi state of servitude. I remain, very respectfully, Henry S. Fitch. A Letter Thom Juarez.--The Bolotin Official, of Matamoras,, of the 26th, publishes Jhe following letter, which El Moxicanosays is understood to have been written by Juarez hifti. seif to Beriozabel: The trial of Maximilian, Miramon and Mejia terminated, and, as was to be expected, the council of war has condemned them to death. Notice of the sentence was given them yesterday at 1, and Escobedo ordered the execu tinn to take place at 2 in the evening. The Bar in Magnus, who had - been Minister of Prussia, near Maximilian, and Senores Riva Palacio and Marti nez de la Torre, have received a tele gram from Qucretaro informing them as to the hour of execution, made ap plication to the Government for a sus pension, so that the condemned per sons might have time to make their testamentary dispositions, for ' which the time was too short. The Govern ment, which has been anxious all along to temper justice with clemency, suspended the execution until Monday next, So as to give Baron Magnus time to arrive before the execution. The sentence has been pronounced and is irrevocable. All means has been tried to procure the favor of the Govern raetlt for the condemned, but in vain. To all such the Government has re plied with a simple negative. All efforts arc useless to avoid the law, which will bo applied without remis sion. By the leisurely course of the proceedings, and the various concasi sions made to Maximilian and his asi ! sficiates, the Government has tried to ! show the world that it has not been ; urged by passion, but by its conscience, j to a solemn duty, however weighty.— The death, therefore, of Maximilian, Miramon and Mejia is decided upon, and they mustexpiato their criiqes.— j The whole world is about to be shaken, | and Mexico*will be raised to a lofty height in the consideration and respect | of the world. A Wonderful Invention. Tli e Wheeling Intelligcnoer says the Rev. Ashjy Stephens, well known through, out Wost Virginia as a Methodist min ister, now a “teacher *at Point Pleasant, has invented a clock which may justly be ranked among tho remarkable in ventions of tho times. It is not, accu rately speaking, a clock, but an attach ment which may bo joined to any clock. It calculates with scientific precision the rising and setting of the sun, moen and stars. Shows the changes in the moon, and calculates all the eclipses. I (shows the right asccn Mon and desconsion of the stars, the place of-the sun and moon in the zodiac, and in what constellation, with many of the celestial phenomena. Thus it will do for one hundred years to come. At the end of that time it would have to bo stopped, so as to lose a day to make the calculation correct for the next hundred years —a necessity grow, iug out, of this fact, understood by | scientific men, that calendar time docs : not absolutely correspond with actual I time, su that in a century.the former | gains a day. Mr. Stephens, who seems to have a genius sos mechanism, made | his contrivance throughout whith his own hands, lie calls it an “astron : omical clock,” and intends claiming a j patent fur IT. —--•-- / En D U re— K ek P QU i ET.
