TELEGRAPHIC. Western Union Telegraph. Special to the Enterprise. Good News—Stanton Suspend ed and Grant appointed. Washington, Aug. 12.—The Presi dent on Saturday morning, sent a com munication to Stanton suspending him from his office as Secretary of War, and directing him to transfer the re- Cords, books, &c., to General Grant, and informing Stanton that Grant had been empowered to act as Secretary of War ad interim. At the same time authority was sent Grant authorizing him to act as Secretary of War ad in terim, and directing him at once to ehter upon the duties of the office. At noon the President received a note from Stanton, denying the Presi dent’s right, under the Constitution and Laws, to suspend Stanton without the consent of the Senate or legal cause 5 but inasmuch as the General commanding the armies of the United States had notified Stanton that Gcn’l Grant had accepted the appointment as Secretary of War ad interim, Stan ton had no alternative but to submit, under protest, to superior force. Gen’l Grant has assumed charge of the War Department, and appeared at the Cabinet meeting to-day, fir the purpose of considering certain ques tions with regard to the territory re cently acquired'from Russia. The papers presented by Dunham alias Conover, as ground for pardon, contain no word impugning Ashley, Butler, or other persons. The first communication from the Executive Department to Gen. Grant; Secretary of War ad interim, was is sued at 2 o’clock to day and refers to Louisiana matters. The order it is said on good authority is in harmony with the views of Catlin. An Order from Gea. Schofield Richmond, Aug. 12.—Gen. Scho field has issued an order to day, in which military commissioners are re minded that they are to be governed in the discharge of their duties by the laws of Virginia, as far as the same are not in conflict with the laws of the United States, or orders issued from these headquarters ; and that they are -not to supercede the civil authorities except in cases of necessity. The ac tion or failure to act of the civil offi cers, should be fully reported, in or der that the commanding General may hold them to a proper accountability for any neglect of duty. The case of Wm.

Grant’s letter to Stanton con. eludes: “In notifying-ynu of my ac ceptance, I cannot let the opportunity pass without expressing to y ,u my ap preciation of the zeal, patriotism, firm ness and ability, with which you have ever discharged the duties of Secretary of War.” Stanton’s replying concludes: “You will please accept my acknowledg ment of the kind terms in which you have notified me of your acceptance of the President’s appointment, and my cordial reciprocation of the sentiments expressed.” Benicia, in California, has been vi sited by a destructive fire, which de stroyed lor'y buildings in the business portion of the town.

The Booth Family.— During Mr. Bradley’s speech in the Surratt case, at Washington, Friday, in referring to the diary of Booth, ho said ; They suppressed that diary which exculpates Mrs Surrat; that diary which shows who and what the mail was—a fanatic and a madman. His grandfather, Richard Booth, waß tho most thoroughbred republican who ever ecttlod in America, and his grand son inherited the traits of that grand father. It is well known he aided slaves to escapo from Maryland, which his son, the elder Junius Booth, paid lor.

THOMASVILLE, GA.: TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1867. THE ENTERING WEDGE- Our telegraphic dispatches bring us the gratifying intelligence that the President has at last displaced Secre tary Stanton, and appointed Genera] Grant Secretary of war ad interim.— Thus President Johnson turns out his enemy and strengthens himself by placing the General in- Chief in sole command of the year department.— Johnson and Grant may now turn out Phil Sheridan, and begin the great re action which must restore the ururped powers of tho P.esident, the constitu tion to tho Government, and the South to the Union. The appoint ment of Grant we trust, is the enter ing wedge to tho final overthrow of the Radicals. REGISTRATION. Let it be remembered that the Board of Registration for Thomas County, will be in Thomasville on Thursday. Friday and Saturday next, tho 15th, 16th and 1 - ill of August, for the pur pose of registering those who may not have registered previously, and for the purpose of completing the reg stration for the county. Let every man regis ter who can, and remember that if you have not registered in your district or precinct, you can still reg ster at Thom asville at the time aopointed above. TURNING OFF THE FREED MEN. Our exchanges inform us that the Freedmen have been discharged by the wholesale, throughout the State of Tennessee, for voting the Radical tick et at the late election for Governor of that State. General Carlin is doing all in his power to prevent them from suffering, hut finds it impossible to obtain employment for the large num bers discharged. He has .appointed -Judge Lawrence to lake charge of the discharged negroes of Middle Tennes see, and advises him to advertise by telegraph, both North and South, that laborers can bo supplied. A depot has been established in Nashville for all who have no homes, and transpor tation is provided for all those who may desire to leave tho State, and “good o-tizeng white and black” are entreated to alleviate their hardships. Ihis action of the Tennesseeans will precipitate a population of near 100,000 blacks to bo distributed be tween the States of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, to add to their alrea dy heavy burden, and foreshadows the future of tho remaining slave States. Tho Radicals North, have set up a great howl over this measure of the Tennesseean’s, but while we do not endorse the conduct of Tennessee, they have no right to complain, for we duro to say that the northern hypocrites have always practiced the same mea sure with white men in their factories. The factory hands would not dare vote against their employers. THE GULF ROAD NEWS. Tho above is tho titlo of a now pa' per to be published in Thomasville) commencing about the middle of Sep tember, provided sufficient patronage can be obtained to warrant its publi cation. Mr. T. J. Wombwell is an. nounced as its editor, and as it is well understood that he is only tho repre sentative of certain leading Recon struct ionists about town, and will ope rato upon their capital tho new paper, or “ Gulf Road Ncu must, us a matter of courso, support tho views of those individuals, no matter what pro tentions may bo held forth in tho pros pectus which wo publish to-day 'as a matter of courtosy only. Reconstruc. tiun means now nothing more nor less than Radicalism, and in a very brief period Reconstruction will be dropod for Radicalism just as it was done in Tennessee. If therefore, the "Gulf Road News" supports tho views of its founders (and wo know that it will,) the editoi would have been more honest if ho had bold ly announced that he was about to publish in Thomasvillo a Radical paper. We may have inoro to say on tho subject in future, mean'ime if we tread upon any ones toes, our columns are open for reply. SHOOTING AEFAIR AT BOS TON. A difficulty occurred at Boston, in this oounty, on Friday last, between James Hancock and a man named Flowers. Flowers boastingly threw down Hancock’s fence, when the br ier rubbed his fist in his face Flow ers then went to his store and got a pistol, and returning threatened to shoot Hancock if he repeate i tho of fence. Tho offence was immediately repeated, when Flowers fired tho pis. tol at Hancock, the bull taking effect in the loft breast. Flowers then fled, und although pursued by tho Sheriff was not overtaken. Hancock was not dead at last account, but lies danger ously wounded. MORE TELEGRAPH EXTEN SIONS. The Western Uniitu Telcgr*ph Com< puny have extended their line on the Gulf road to 'Tallahassee, Fla., and tho Savannah papers contain the greetings of the Tallahasseo press. THE SURRATT TRIAL The jury in the Surratt trial could not agree, and were discharged by Judge Fisher. Mr. Bradley protested, on the part of the .prisoner,against the discharge of tho jury, but tho motion for discharge prevailed. Judge Geo. 11. Fisher, Judge of the Criminal Court, thon immediately read an order to the Court, reciting the conduct of Joseph H. Jlradley, Esq., on the 2d of July, in vhich he was charged with contempt cf Court, and Judge Fisher concluded By dismiss ing him from the Bar, by ordering his name to be stricken from the roll. Mr Bradley arose to his feet and pro nounced the charges nude by Judge FisheV as false in every particular, but the Judge ordered the Court to be immediately adjourned, and left the room. Bradley followed him amid great excitement of the populace, and finding him on a strcit car, entered aud handed him a nAe,which all sup posed to be a challenge. Apprehend ing a personal rencounter, the police also followed Bradley, and one of them remained by him while he was on the car. Some say Brad-ey’s note was only a reply accepting Fisher’s verbal challenge. At any rate a duel was expected, and the importance of the Surratt ease was for the time entirely swallowed up by the overshadowing importance of the difficulty between the Judge and Attorney Bradley. RADICAL CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. The Macon Telegraph, tlinks the Radicals are so elated arupelovatcd by their triumph under Brovnlow in Tennessee, that they will now no lon ger think of running Grant for Presi dent, an-1 accept none but an out and out Radical, who will doubtless be Chase or some other civilian of the party. In that event the Telegraph thinks the President should not re move Phil. Sheridan, lest he be caught up by ihe Radicals si a persecut'd Radical, and thrust upon tho country as a candidate for the Presidency, and dangerous to Gen. (-rant’s success as a Conservative candid te, first, on ac count of tho rcla'ions existing between them, and recoiid, because many of the soldiers might vote for Sheridan, who would otherwise yo for Grant. The Telegraph is a good specula tor, hut we should say off with Sheri dan's head. NO COLORED MEN ELECTED. In the late Tennessee election where tho colored people held the balance of power, and constituted the largest por tion cf the majority given to Brown low, not a single colored man was elec ted to office. Thus the Radicals are carrying out their sentiments. The colored man is good enough to vote for Radicals, but ho is not good enough to hold office, and the Radicals won t vote f< r colored men. SCOTT’S MAGAZINE. Wc have received the July number of this popular Magazine, and the Au gust numbor will probably reach here in September. It is a long way from here to Atlanta, wliero it is published,, and the mail facilities possibly very bad. Wo hope the editor will soon liuvo better facilities for circulating a Magazine really in every way worthy of the most liberal patronage. Thon and Now! It, was throe days after tho battle of Dull Hun that the following resolution was adopted with scarcely a dissenting vote, by both Houses ofCcngress: RESOLVED, Tnat the present de plorable civil war has boon forced upon tho country by tho disunionists of tho Southern States now in revolt against the Constitutonal Government, and in arms around the Capitol—that, in this Nutionul emergency, Congress banishing all feeling ot more passion or resentment, will recollect only its duty to tho whole country ; and that this war is not prosecuted on our part in any spirit oi oppression, nor for the purpose of conquest or subjugation nor for the purpose of overthrowing or in terfering with the rights or established institutions of those States, but to de fend and maintain tlio supremacy of the Constitution, and all laws made in pursuance thereof, and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality and rights ol tho several States unim paired, and that as soon as these ob jects are accomplished tho war ought to coaao. Conservative State Covontion. Our cotemporary of the Chronicle and Sentinel, in a column artiole of great force, calls for a t’onvontion to organizo a party opposed to the pres ent Radical party, and to counteract the influence of th • emisaries sent among us and those of our own citizens who are becoming Africanized. We cordially endorse the movement, and suggest Wednesday, tho 16th of Sep tember, and Milledgeville the place. We say Milledgeville, because in days past, the old party conventions met here, and the Cupitol is the building for such things. Our hotel aocoiunio Uations are good, and as cheap or per haps cheaper, than any other city.— W’hut gay tho Press to the day and place !—Southern Recorder, Kentucky Election Louisville, Augu-t s.—The State election, so far as heard from, passed oil quietly. The result has been a Democratic victory by from -15,000 to 00,000 majority. This city and the county of Jefferson have elected their entire Legislative tiokot of twelve members. It is believed that the Democrats in the State have elected seven-eighths of the Legislature. In this city tho Rcpublieunsand the third party made a very poor run—Helm, tho Democratic candidate lor Cover, nor, beating both his opponents by aboutß,3oo majority. [for ihe southern enterprise.] TO THE MEN OF COLOR IN THOMAS COUNTY. • Number 10. I havo shown you in my preceding numbers, that the wiley Yankee of the North only wishes to have any thing to do with you in proportion as he can carry out his own purposes with you. If he cannot use you for his own hen fit, be certain he will do nothing wi'h or for you for your own. It is true, they have a stupid, fanatical populace among them, who have been deluded into the belief by their crafty and hy pocritical leaders, that the Southern white people, men and women, are in carnate devils, who have been doing you evil and nothing but evil all your lives. But their leaders know better; they know, that while the white peo ple at the South have been using your labor, they have been feeding, cloth ing and sheltering you; making pro vision for your comfort in sickness and in health ; taking care of your sick, your children and your old people ; providing for you preachers and pla oes of worship, and doing for vou a thousand things which you were una ble to do for yourselves. What have the people at the North done for you ? They have counselled you to a vast amount of evil, that cannot be of the least benefit to you or your posterity, but which may operate to your lasting injury. What does the white man at the South council you to do ? He says Stay at home, mind your own busi ness, and make money for yourselves and your families; drink no liquor of any kind ; be industrious and frugal; join no political cliques; be neither radical, republican or conservative they all only want you to use you for their own purposes. At times of elec tions seek out the most honest, upright and best man, and vote for him, with out inquiring whether he calls himself by this, that -or any other political name. Or, if you do not know enough of any of the candidates before yon, do not vote for any.of them, but stay at homo. Above all, pay no attention to Yankee speech makers, who come South to use you for their own purpo ses. They arc not tho men to come a thousand miles to address you for youi good; it is intended altogether for their own. Your whole interest lies with the white people of the South. There is an old colored Baptist Preach cr living in Columbus, by the name of Aaron Hurt; he is an honest carpen ter, and works hard at his trade on week days and preaches on Sundays, lie has lately given his opinion to the colored people, and writes as follows : We of the South have to bo one, what is the white man’s interest must and will bo the colored man’s. All have been born on the Southern soil some masters and some slaves 1 was born a slave ; this was not mv n-a-te.’- lault. That some (white and c--l r- d\ are trying to make the former sues hate their former master is plain. Th s I will not do. I know those amongst whom l was raised; Ido not know those who come to me and take me by the hand at night, end give me advice in the dark, and when it is light do not notice me on the street, i notice another thing; those white men who tell us wo must vote tho Radical ticket and we shall have a farm, do not have enough of their own to build a chicken coop. [ think they want the negroes to do the voting, but they want tho farms. 1 am a minister of the Gospel—belong to tho Baptist Church—and think 1 have studied -he interest of' my race since we hav.c been set free, and givo it as my opinion it is but Tor the colored people to make friends at homo. As to polities, Ido not know much ; but from what little 1 do know, I am a Conservative. 'They do not seem to have any secrets, but talk out. This I liko >’ Thus iar writes Brother Aaron Hurt. I will close in two more numbers. Your affeotionato Un’lk Ben. Tennessee—Tho Triumph of the Negro. The triumph of radicalism in the “Volunteer State,” is complete—tho n ajorily being anywhere between twenty-five and fifty thousand. It seems the negroes voted square and solid with tho radio.ils. We presume they will do so wherever tho issue is made. Tennessee was the first Stato to get back into the Union—and it is to day in a worse condition—iufinitoly worse— than either of tho ten cm braced in the five military districts—a fact which parties now engaged in di< viding and distracting the people of Georgia, would do well to inako a note of. Tho article below from the Me t phis Bulletin, is illustrutivo of the faroo : We looked in upon them at their polling places, at about twelvo o’clock. Not being a voter ourselves, on ac count of a supposed defeat of patriot ism, our visit was, of course, one of mere curiosity. To our eyes, the long procession of dusky figures ma king their way to the judge’s stand, bore the somblance of a iuneial pro cession. Liberty was dead, we thought, and these were pall beareis. The white people, those unfortunate indi viduals who had been tabooed ou ae. count of their color, were looking on curiously, from a distance, prety mueh as they would look upon the reolnatiou ofsoiuo Eastern tale in the Arabian Nights. We scauncd tho countenan ces of tho dusky voters. Childish cu riosity and simplicity, stolid indife raoce, black ignorance, wretchedness and crime were the main characteris tics. Aud these were the voters ol America, the men who are to be the tuturc guard,ans of tho constitutional liberties of these States,"tl e lawgivers, and judges of a land of white tnen. — Wo turned away sick a! heart As we passed by Court Square, we found a regiment of troops encamped, with a sentinel at each gate, with a bristling bayonet, apd rows of stacked arms belonging to the men who were lying about among tho shade trees. — Tho statue of Andrew Jackson looked down upon these men. How- the old hero, the old constitution defender, would h3ve been astonished, if be eould have arisen from this grave and looked upen all these things being en acted in the State of Tennessee, in the yeat of grace 1867 ? Sic transit. The play b over, the actors dispersed, and our readers will find in oar local columns, that the Caueassian, in the State of Tennessee, has passed under the rule of the African. The Yankee is avenged; has thrown down the Southern maiVaml raised op the negro in his stead. Thank fiodl we have resisted the desecration of our altais, and the degradation of our race, all we know how.— Atlanta lntelligencert Rotative Strength of France and Prussia. In view of the reports about a rup turc between France and Frifssia, the following glance at the relative strength of tho -two powers is of con siderable interest: It cannot be denied that the present condition of the armies of Germany, x united by federation or by treaty to the Crown of Prussia, renders thorn more f( rruidable antagonists than they have ever been before In point of numbers, the united population of Germany, including the States south of the Main, is superior to the popula tion of France; it increases more rap idly; and the uniform obligation of military service during a term of nine teen years, enables the German rulers to throw a larger proportion of their subjects into tho ranks of the army.— In point of physical size and strength the advantage is on the side of the big Teutonio race, over the Celt, the Latin, and the Gaul. In point of field arma ment, the Prussians have forestalled the other armies of Europe in the ini troduotion and use of a breechloadiug rifle, and, although this cause of ine quality will speedily disappear, it ex ists at the present moment. In hor ses, the resources of Germany are in. exhaustible; and to this element of strength must now be added a very complete system of rai'roads and tele graphs. Tho tactics of the French infantry of the line arc, as we have seen, complicated and old-fashioned; those of the Prussian army have been the subject of inoreased study and im provement from the -battle of Jena, wheq their old system utterly broke down, to the baltlo of Sadowa, when their new system culminated in vic tory. The German armies are in the highest state of efficiency which can be reached, by scientific preparation for war, by concentration, by compact discipline, and bf forethought. The Coming Elections.—The next election outside the unreconstruc ted States will be that of Vermont, which will occur on the 3d of Septem ber ; and the day after, California and the other extremity of the union will follow. A few days afterwards on the 9lh of September, Maine will be heard from. Nearly a month will then elapse, at the end of which time the great States of Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio will engage in tho political struggle—their day of election being the Bth of October. Next will come the elections that oocur on tho first J’uesday of November —tho sth. They are New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minesota, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Nevada. Colorado will vote on the 12th of November, which will closo the list of Fall elections. Lieut. Bkaine.— We republish from a Memphis papor a letter written by Lieut. John C. Braine, of the lato rebel navy. It seems this officer is now in prison in the Kings County Penitentiary, where he is kept by the United States government without trial for alleged acts of piracy which occurred on the high seas while the war was in progress. His case seems to be a hard one. Semiues, to whom he writes the letter, is at l;v«-ge upon parole, while ho tor acls which, though irregular, were adowublo by the usa ges of .war, is in prison without friends to plead his cause, or money to pro cure him legal advice.

Sure ly wo cun uow afford to bo generous to this officer.— New York Worhl. The Oil Princos. During the year 1803 “the produc tion of petroleum in this country was nearly 4,000,000 barrels, equal to 2,500 000 barrels of refined oil; of this amount over 1,000,000 barrels were exported.” But the wealth accumula ted by individuals in tho first sudden i excitement ol tbis trade has not gene rally profited them. “ From one cause and auotber,’’ says a journal in tho oil regious, “ by speculation, or drink, or gambling, or broken banks the greater part are about where they began; many, indeed, far worse. Suits almost without number have been brought for the recovery of moneys fraudulent ly obtained, and the only thing that prevents the commencement of others is the disagreeable oertainty that the plaintiff could not pay the costs Many companies have allowed their lands to be sold for taxes, seemingly resolved to spend no more ife this country.” Tho productive localities are con tinually changing, and a farm that is sold for a song to-day may prove tbe centre of anew despot to-morrow There is a deeided increase already in the amount of pctrolcm exported this year, as compared with that of 1865-6, I the quantity so far exported bavin-* reached 32,286,385 gallons, against 29,159,711 gallons duriug tho Bame time last year. This shows an in. crease during this year of 3,126,674 gallons, or 78,161 barrels. Kentucky —Tha Louisville Jour nal says ; ‘ The vote of Kentucky ou Monday was not a full one, and tho Radicals may try to draw consolation from that fact, but it will yield them none. Those,who voted were the ex ponents of the will ol' the State, If the whole people bad voted, the Dem ocrats majority would have been pro-' portionately as large as it is. Thuff the vote given may be accepted as the vote of Kentucky. And nothing like it was ever knowr# in our Stale before.

It is tiro tempest-tone-' ol a people protesting against and re buking the wildest aod most destruc tive spirit of evil that e*er raged ii a wronged arid deeply afflicted country. The'Democracy of the North will hear' it and rejoice. The Derooefhcy of the- wronged'and bleeding South will catch the sound and take courage.” Ko-action at th.e North, Leo, the fntel'Kgefft Northern cor respondent ol Ihe Charleston Courier, says: » Quite a change of policy has taker* place in the North opoo the subject of jhe Congress policy of forcing univer sal negro suffrage upon the South.— The matter was really little though# of by the public heretofore. It waff generally taken for granted that negro suffrage would be but nominal, and would be soon' left to the' several States for such modifications as might be necessary. Now they find that ne gro governments are really to be set up and supported by the military arm and that these people, just emer-rin— from abject slavery, with all its attend dant degradation, are put over the heads of the white populat-on. This idea of power by Congress wdl hardly be tolerated by the people of the North The passions and prejudices created by tho civil war, have subsided and men are becoming moia disposed ta have reason and do justice. The Northern States, which havo heretofore upheld unqualified suffrage from the negroes, are not the moae in. c'ined to grant it, after seeing tho mischief that it will produce in tho South.
