The Brownsville Kanchero doubts the report of an aiuty of übeset ration under Cortina, and publishes an extract from a letter said to have been Written by Escobedo to Gomez, directing him, by every means in his power, to make the country Mexican, and as to all property in the hands of foreigners aoquired by Mexican misfortunes, he should take it and have power to hunt them from the country.

Maximilian's Avengers. —lt is an ill wind that blows nobody any good; so we tnay congratulate this country that the Knights of the Golden Cir cle are organizing under anew name, and hereafter may be known as tho “Order «f Maximilian.” They bind themselves together by most solemn oaths, and intend to leave this country shortly for Mexico, to avenge the death of that Prince. Xfig- Judge Kelly was evidently angry when he said to Jho editor of the Mobile Times, “by G—d, sir, Col. Mann, we will make every rebel in the South so poor that he cannot take your paper.” No one, wo fancy, will dispute but what that has been the settled policy of the Radicals ever since Sherman with his hordes of vandal freebooters first set foot on Southern soil. Two men were taken from their beds in a hotel at Council Bluffs, by a mob, and hanged. They had .simply nquised who had lynched Henderson? Jiciitjiern dtttteqirisc (SEMI-WEEKLY,) L. C. BRYAN, s t : t Editor. THOMASVILLE, GA.: FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1867. SOUTHERN ORATORS FOR THE NORTH. The Macon Telegraph, speaking in high terms of Hon. B. H- Hill's abil ity, and referring to his able letters and speeches, suggests the propriety of his visiting tho principal cities in the North, for the purpose of unfold ing to the masses of the North, the truths bo powerfully set forth by him in the South. In the same suggestion the Telegraph includes Hon. A. H. Stephens and Hon. H. V. Johnson. We agree with the Telegraph that the Northern States are now the proper spheres for the exercise of the giant powers of Georgia’s great orators. The eloquence and logical powers of Mr. Hill would secure him respect and at tention among any civilized people, while Mr. Stephens already has the sympathy and confidence of vast num bers of the Northern people. They know his ability and pure statesman, ship, and would listen to him with pleasure. At any rate let our orators test the truth, and sec if the North will hear the words of soberness and reason from outsiders. They propose to send a batch of Radical speakers into the South, let us act upon their policy and send our ablest men North. We can but be repulsed and the odium will fall upon the North. REPENTING. A Blackshear correspondent of the Valdosta Times, writing to that paper says : —“Since I last saw you, there has been a decided change in the minds of our people. Many of us were in favor of a Convention ; many of us were Union men , and we had a hope that through this Convention, the peace and quiet so much needed in our distracted country, would be re stored; but Congress has thought pro per to tighten the manacles which were already chafing our withered limbs. * * * * Even the North ern men cannot comprehend the wide spread ruin that this Military bill in. fliets, or they themselves would stand aghast at the consequences. Let me give one of a thousand examples.— Fierce county has some twenty-eight county officer, and this town has se ven. Theso are nearly all non-paying offices. Vacancies have occurred in two of them, and a United States offi cer has been hero to fill them, but one man only could be found who could take the test oath. The truth is, tho white men cannot take tho test oath, and the blach men can neither read uui- write. imported men cannot ar ford to como hero to hold non-paying officers, and the result is they must remain vacant., and law and order soon give place to anarchy and ruin." This state of affairs applies to tho whole State of Georgia, and evory ot-h*- er State of the ten excluded by tho Military bill, and the measure, accor ding to tho Times’ correspondent, has completely knocked all reconstruction entirely out-of the Fierce JUachshear Convention men. The Radicals did not need their aid as we told them at the time, and wo are happy to find them now recovering their senses.— What has the Quitman Danner to say in defense of its editors eloquence be foro that august assembly of recon • situation patriot’s and loyal men? —■ Art thou well my brother? EUROPEAN PRESS ON THE EXECUTION OF MAXI MILIAN. Tho cxeoution of Maximilian in Mexico, produced the most profound sensation in nil the Courts of Europe, and prompted expressions of tho deep est regret; hut tho Uuropoan press seem agreed that as such murders have often occurred in civilized Kuropo, the murder of a noble prince in Mexico, affords no proper ground fer a visita tion of tho sword upon a barbarous nation. Maximilian’s murder, there fore, must go unavenged, unless aven ged by fillibusters. from the United States, and the symjtathizing Radicals, led by Logan and l'orney, aro deter mined that the Mexican murderer* shall not ho disturbed in their career of crime by fillibusters from tho Uni ted States. They are already prepar ing a proclamation to bo issued by the President, forbidding hostilities against Mexico by citizens of tho U. States, and Juarez may rest easy, if ho cat), upon tho Radical assurance, that his crimes shall not be punished. His punishment, howevar, does not depend upou the United States, nor are Maxi milian’s avengers iu foreign lands.— When Juarez ordered his execution lie then and there sowed the seeds of re volution and discord in Mexican soil, that will rapidly spring up and pro duce a plentiful harvest. NO IMPEACHMENT. Thad. Stevens, tire leader of the Radicals, acknowledges before tho world, that it is utterly impossible to impeach President Johnson, and there fore dissuades his friends from fur ther efforts in that direction. Read it, ye midnight Radical incon diaries in the South, who preach im peachment to the deluded blaoks to decoive and entoh their votes, and hereafter, know, that whenever you preach it, you preach a lie.

We cannot find out whether this venerable old Mexican politician, war rior and statesman of the wooden leg; is alive or dead. We do not feel a vital interest in his fate, but to antici pate the novelist and historian, we would liko to know that tho inglorious part of his career had cheated them of what, no doubt, would be considered a fine tragedy. He was worthy of a better fate than to bo shot like a dog, though not so worthy as. the prince who met that fate. It is reported that Santa Anna stated at Vera Cruz, that ho was encouraged with promises of recognition and money leans by the United States, if he would make him self President of Mexico/ and this statement probably lost him both Mex ico ;tnd his life. MORE TERRITORY. The National Intelligencer learns that negotiations are progressing be tween the United States and England fur the cession to the former, of the territory lying between the lately ac quired Russian Possesions in America, and the Northwestern territories of the Unite! States, in consideration of tho abandonment on the part of the Uni ted States, of all claims against. Eng land for spoliations committed by Con federate cruisers -fitted out in English ports. FROM MEXICO. Brownsville dates of the 18th, says Escobedo, the ruffian who commanded Quaretaro and executed Maximilian and his Generals at that place, has been placed in command of the Mexi can army, and that Juarez has beCn announced as a candidate for re-elec tion to the Presidency. A report gained ourreney in the United States, that Juarez would not permit himself to bo run as a candi date, but would retire to his hacienda. NOSE PULLING.

Tho following letter, which has been handed to us by the gentleman to whom it was addressed, contains mat ters of intorost to our Southern rea ders :—Eds.— Telegraph. Paris, Juno 18, 1867. James R. Units, Eiq., Macon, Ga. Dear Sir: I hud the plensuro of receiving your favor of tho 30th of December ami 17th of April last, to gether with plans and diagrams, for which please receive my thanks. I submit them to tho chief engineer ol Mr. Schneider, tho President of the French House, who has a foundry in which ho employs 20,000 workmen. I wanted him to repair tho factory you mention and to set tho mills and spindles at work. He might have paid himself afterwards upon tho ben efits arising from the establishment. Unfortunately he does not sooui deci ded yet to do that, or to purchase ; al though'ono million is to him what a pence is to you or to me. I do not despair, however I think that in tho course of time, and by perseverance, something will turn up in which our mutual plans may be realized. Rut as I told you bofore, everything depends on tho energy and ability you and your people will display in tho matter. And above all you must penetrate yourself well of this truth. Lands are thrown for nothing on this market by the millions of acres to those who are willing to go and tuko thorn and cultivate, and this is wanting which are not like yours, agitated by the conflict of parties and under tho regime of martial law. Those consid erations are grave obstacles in the way of a settlement of your country by foreign emigration. But still your lands are so rich, yovr people so hos pitable, your institutions so much to the taste of our French citizens, there is so much natural affinity between them and the Southerners, tho politi cal reasons for helping you are so strong, that 1 should not be surprised' if a strong.current of emigration would some day leave the shores of France, Italy, Spain and Austria, and go to settie in your regions. Our capital ists begin to be very bold. Paris is now the oeitre of all great specula tions, of all foreign loans. All conti nental railroads are contracted for with the capital ol this city. London lam told comes now but second in the money market and Paris is first. No wonder-, Paris in now tho rendez. vous of all tho nations and of all the monatchs of Europe. AH other cit ies are eclipsed by its splendors, and all those vho visit it say it far sur passes whit their imaginations had dreamed of, Your interests are evidently to avail yourself, of tho inclination capitalists have to seek.for a safe, profitable in-' vesta.eiU of their capital, for as you very well say, you have lost everything, even the instruments of labor, without which the restoratives ol' your lost fortunes is impracticable. In such emergency you must make all imagi nable Bacr-jice--I mean those in keep ing with your honor, and interests.— Having made so many to sustain the war why should you not make some to get out of the ruinous and difficult po sition in which you are placed ? I cannot, of couise, tell you three thou sand miles off what these sacrifices must be, and if I knew I would not certainly tale the liberty to indicate them to you. Theso sort of things, must be self-aspired arid spontaneous generalities —they arc the result rath er of individual than collective initia tive and entepriee. But allow me, with all due deference, to tell you what Maximilian did to get emigrants to Mexico, and w.iat ho would havo car. ried out had not tho French deserted him. In the first place, lie prevailed upon some rich land owners to give away half of their lands for emigration, re taining'tho other half lor thernseves. Ho then appointed agents in Vera Cruz aud other places, who received emigrants and carried them to homes provided for them, where they remain ed! until they have built up for them the houses in which they were to live. Some lands were sold—some others were given on lease. 1 simply throw out theso general features to you, so that you may know in what direction success lies. You have actually in Georgia men of wealth who could form ail association for the purposo of soiling land to emigrants and of assisting them in their settle ment. This association might have its seat in Savannah, and a house in Paris, which would perhaps obtain credit hero in carrying out the enter prise. To the task of sending agricultural emigrants this house might also direct an industrial nnrronk upon ynm- Mr-Un Good, honest and skillfull artisans would be found in any quantity. Tho house in Savannah might state what kind of industry is most likely to flourish in Georgia. Advertisements might bo put in newspapers to that effect. But first an association, head ed by prominent citizens of your State, must be organized. This is. tho pre liminary step; nothing is possiblo, at present in Georgia, without it. When it is formed I will, if 1 am free - , introduce tho firms to our first capital ists in Paris and elsewhere. I will go to Havre, Bremen and Hamburg, Trieste and Italy, if necessary, and or ganize houses,corresponding with those you will have formed or direct your agent,-if you send one, in his opera tions. This, I think, is a practical aoherno. — Let your most conspicuous and wealthy citizens meet. Let them form a re speotable capital and associate not only their money but tlioir lands. Lot the State protect and patronize them. Let them appoint intelligent and re sponsible agents in all tho large cities of Georgia, and in ten years you will have us much capital aud as many emigrants ns any State in the North. This, I think, may succeed ultimately if not immediately, especially if your political condition assumes a bettor aspecL At all events, a strong or. ganization with property and capital cannot fail to inspire confidence and assist you in doing what nothing olso can do so well, proouro your labor and capital, and lay down tho basis of in ternal development of your immense resources I tako the liberty to give you theso indications because they appear to me ontculutocf to help you in getting out of tho painful positions in which most of tho Southern States aro situated. You havo to make efforts in the right direotion, get a population whion you have not, and to obtain it no sacrifices ought to frighten you. Your course is plainly marked. You havo to call around you a population, capable of as simulation, and not one which is net; aud to that eud all your efforts must be direoted. What I say hero will not prevent me from doing all 1 can to sell your lands and promote your in terests. But L have very little hope of success until you havo organized. If you send me some documents up on tho resources and history of your State, l will try to make good use of them ; and if 1 Rave something new to tell you before this lottor is answered, I will write you. I am, sir, faithfully yours, E. Farkenc. BARBECUE IN MITCHELL.

A general invitation is given to all per sons to attend. [FOE THE SOUXHERN.ENTERPRIBE.]j TO THE MEN OF COLOR IN THOMAS COUNTY. Number 5. In my preceding number I endea vored to show you how your forefath ers came to bo introduced into this country as slaves, and that the white people of the Southern States had no hand in so introducing them, took no part in it, and only purchased them because they needed their labor and could not obtain it elsewhere. All this is recorded in the history of the times, and cannot be denied or contra dicted. But now I come to a more import ant part of your history—as follows : The American colonies declared them selves independent of Great Britain on the 4th day of July, 1776, and af ter a struggle of seven years estab lished their independence in 1781. Up to this time slavery existed in all the Colonies or States, at the North as well as at the South, in all the Yankee as well as all the Southern States.— During tho war articles of Confedera tion and Union were entered into be tween the different States, in which the subject of slavery was not agitated either by the North or the South, hut was. suffered to remain and stand as it had boon before the war. Thus the North and the South both gave their consent to slavery during the Revolu tionary War, and if either are to blame for its continuance after that time, the Northern people are equally to blame with the South. This is also a part of history which cannot bo contradicted. Well, after the Revolutionary War every white man went to work to make some money. The Northern shippers took up the introduction of slaves, and brought fourfold more of them into the country in the succeeding thirty years, than all the natives of Europe had in troduced before. Thus, four-fifths of the slaves introduced into the United States were brought here bv these canting Puritan Yankees, in their own ships, by their own seamen, and with their own money. Tho traffic in slaves proved to be exceedingly profitable ; the Y’ankees went into it with avidity, and tho money thus acquired is at this day the foundation of tho immense wealth now held by the Yankee people. 1 ought herQ to give you some ac count of the voyage; but the details are so revolting, that I forbear. The vessels were usually clipper built, small and light, and calculated fur fast sail ing. Into these vessels these Yankee traders would stow from four hundred to a thousand human beings, confined between decks, the vessels prepared with double anil treble floors, so that two or three tiers could be stowed away, sitting or lying, in one hold. Asa matter of course, in a very short time, the whole air which these unfor tunate beings breathed, would become foetid and irnpuro. Added :o this they were ujtuiuuluil liauilb and reec. in this condition tney were carried on a voyage of from thirty to sixty days, if they were so unfortunate as to live so long. A large number would die daily; and the common calculation was, that one-half of these unfortunate be ings would die, through excessive sul fering during tho voyage, before its termination ; or in other words, one half would be consigned to death by those Yankee traders for tho price of the other half. Where, I ask, was all this humanity then, which we have heard so blatqnt in later days? Was the African ntt “a man and a brother” as well then ns now ? Was his life not worth as much to him then as now ? Was not the separation from wife, and family, and home, and country, as pdignant then as it has boen since? Ah, but, the Yankee was making money out of the African then, and that atoned, in his eyes, for all the negro's sufferings, and did away with all tho Yankee’s ten derness. More next week. Your affectionate Uncle Ben. From the Nashville Gazette. A Loyal League Shown Up by an Expelled Member. Nashville, July 9, 1867. Many of your roadors will doubtless remember my letter, published in the Guzetto of Juno 13th, which was largely circulated by the press of this and other cities of our State. If there is one senteoee therein not in accor dance with law and tho true princi ples of liberty and human rights, 1 don’t know what constitutes thoso safeguards of mao, and I have been “ raised a fool.” For writing and pub lishing that letter I was at once ‘ex pelled’ from “ Loyal. League No_ 1,” whore I had been sworn “ to do even unto death,” all in my power to “keep over burninu on the alter of tho Amer ican heart the sacred flame of Liberty.” Let tho world sit in judgement on my life of sixty fivo years, and particularly on tho part of it embraced iu the past seven years. I court its investigation, and will abide cheorfully by its award. Indifferent alike to flattery or abuse, I shall do my duty oven though asses bray, and dogs snap and howl. FiXpollied from the “Loyal League!” Now, geutletueo, permit me to intro duce you into that sanctum sanotorum political humbug. I promised this, I’ll do it. At tho first door you give two light taps and whisper through a hole there in, “Loyal 51 in.” The door opens. — You move on, to a second door ami give two taps. A loop-hole is opened. You whisper “Must Rule/' and are then marched around a darkened room, and welcomed by the “Good Chairman,” in the following words: “The good and true are always wel come, etc.” Y’ou have now marched round the room and are placed before an altar on wbioh is spread the Aoiericen Flag Here also lies open a bible, and a book with tho old original, unaltered Con stitution of the United States, gift of our fathers, as it was, is,- and ever should be, unchanged. There, too, lie crossed two common swords, such as are worn by army Bur geons. ' Between the points ia a mys terious looking bronze chalice, filled with something, the smell of which re minds you of “Old Robertson.” On your right, at a small altar, stands long, lank, lean “Forty Acres,” behind you, at another desk or altar, stands a once Provost Marshal.— Around this long, dark, dirty room, sit the Loyal Leaguers, some black and some white, and among them some of our most worthy citizens. There are also not a few whose “copper’’ sticks out through the whitewash given by this Loyal League. The gas i| now darkened. “Forty Acres,” with eyes upturned like a “duck in a thunder storm,” h : s lean hands opened out towards Heaven, mumbles out a prayer ! This done the Chairman (the jolly, good-natured, kind-looking miller, not “of Mans field,” though quite as portly) steps forward with book and watch in hand, and fires the mysterious looking cup, which darts up a flittering blue flame, such as is represented as burning in the “Eternal Hades.” With your right hand on the book, and the left in tho air, you now take the ‘oath of allegiance,’ known to all, and are most particularly required “to defend tho constitution of the United States,” (unaltered), on which your hand rests, and the Constitution of the State of Tennessee. What is the latter Con stitution ? Who can tell you ? You are also sworn to keep the so cret of the League, ‘ to vote for none hut loyal men,” &c. In that long, dark, dirty room, on the right of which stood one hundred old rusty muskets, in such presence, before the flickering blue flame, which but made “darkness visible,” with the nasal twang of “Forty Acres” voice in prayer still sounding iu my ears, 1 was with others made a Loyal Leaguer. Sur rounded with paraphernalia of hum bug, we were shown also, as before said, to do even unto death all in our power to make liberty eternal, “to vote for none but loyal men,” &e. We were next initiated into the signs and pass-Words, &c. Let one suffice ; but if you wish, you can have them all. To pass yourself Leaguer, when questioned, give tho -‘Four L’s” —as follows ; right hand raised to Heaven, thumb and third finger touch ing their ends over the plain, and pro nounco “Liberty.?’ Bringing the hand down in a line with the shoulder, pro nounce “Lincoln.” Dropping the hand open at your side, pronounce “Loy al.” Witli your hund ami fingers downward in the chest, the'’ thumb thrust into the vest or waiothano, across the body, pronounce “League.’’ There is a groat deal of other “tom fooling” of the satuo character unwor. iV»y ok' plnoo lioro. SuiTio> it to nay that such is the character of a combi nation which bids fair to rebaprise un happy Southern souls with blood— such are the willing or duped senti ments ready to carry out the will of our modern Jeffreys and Dalrymples, Masters of Stair, Gleulyons arid Lind sleys*—such are the Loyal Leagues, which in darkened rooms, before blue mysterious-looking fires, cross-swords and psalm-singing humbugs have sworn in “about forty-five thousand” simple freedmen, and takes from each a mis erable half dollar fee of initiation.— Those poor creatures have stood be. fore that blue flame and all the other grim paraphernalia of this dark room humbug, with a ' supersitious awe, mingled with fear. To them it was the “Uarloo Ditliaa” of their native jungles, the “Obi Man,” with his pois oned cocoanut. They will- never for get that blue fiatne, those crossed swords, the wild upheld eye of “Forty Acres,” with ominously uplifted finger of the worthy “miller,” as he pronoun ces the “Anathema, Maruuatha”on all who secede or break tho terrible pledge. Poor, simple, wronged crea tures ! In the wild storms of mid night, when the blue lightning thrusts its fingers through the storm-tossed cloud, their imagination will bring out, clothed with terror, that daikcncd room, that mysterious flame, the up turned eye of “Forty Acres',” and the “So mote it be” of the mixed multi tude. Gentlemen, fellow citizens, freemen —look at this mummery—this political humbug, and think that men of rank, of standing, of fine intellect and kind hearts are there. Uow can you account for it, in this nineteenth century ? What does it mean? Has the Lord our God forsaken us? Aro wo a peo ple 7 Has he made us blind that our ruin may bo more suro-? Leaguers and madmen, beware ! Like blind Sampson, you now sit beneath the tower, not of oppression, but of human rights. You are madly grasping the law and the ballot box—the sure columus of liberty. If you bow yourselves as he did, tho beautiful structure will fall, and you and your children will perish unwept under its ruins. Leaguers, beware ! A day of retribution is com ing. Blind guides leading the blind, how can you escape ? Ever? act of your own and of your leader* is calcu lated to provoke blood. You know this. Do you think the Anglo-Saxon race beneath the heel of yonr deceived colored dupes? You thrust them once into the fiery furnace of- war to save your own children. You ctnancipa. ted them** a military necessity. As tho lost hope of our tottering Govern ment to save yourselves, you and your party laid violent hands on the “color ed clement,’” and now you say that it was all for love of that element. Let us look at Mr. Lincoln’s letter to A. G Hodges, Esq., of Frankfort, Kv*,, dated April 4th, 1864 : “I believed the indispensable ueoC3 - sity for emancipation and arming the blacks, would come. It came, and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitu tion, or of laying strong hands on tho colored element and arming it. I choose the latter.’’ Further quotation is unnecessary , comment useless; and now, dear Lea guers, remember, when you tell the poor freedman, that it was yottr love that made him free, you speak not tho truth : when you tell him you gave him tne right of suffrage on the same account, when ’twas to, save your ba con, and that you can do more for the poor freedman than Balaam did for the poor brute which refused to carry him Finally, “Loyal League No. 1,” I beg leave to say to you, when you are about to turn a member out without cause, as Paul said to the jailor, “Do thyself no harm.” There was Dot one sentence in tny letter which merits tho act of “Expulsion.” You kicked a hole in the wall, and let the world in, sure of the approbation of honest men, and regardless of all your threats. I am respectfully yours, William Driver. *BOO Macaulay’s Massacre of Glen coe. Read and tremble, for the spirit is herd Read What tho Proas Sara.
