Starbuck is our authorized Agent for the City of Savannah, to receive and receipt for advertising and subscriptions to the Southern Enterprise. NOT RADICAL, We understand the impression got abroad from the reference given in the prospeotus of the “Gulf Road News,” that the firm of McQueen & Vickers had turned Radical. As tre were in some degree responsible for the im prossion, we cheerfully remove the same by assuring those who read our article charging Radicalism on the “Gulf Road News,” that we did not include the gentlemen coposing that firm, neither of whom to our knowl edge, have ever uttered one word that could be so construed. On the con trary, we understand them to be Con> servative in the strongest sense of the term and in accord with the views advocated by the Enterprise. The partners of the firm as well as their clerks are we!! known to us personally, and we do them the justice to state that they are all true Southern men. NEW PATENT CIRCULAR SAWS. Yesterday we visited by invitation and witnessed the operation of the newly patented circular saw, put up by Mr. li. O. Thompson Superinten. dent,of the Steam Saw Mill of Messrs. A. & R. Smith, about one mile west of town. Instead of being solid, the teeth of this saw are inserted and can be removed and others inserted at pleasure. There is no danger of their breaking or flying out, and we consid er the patent one of great economy as compared to the old style of circular saws. Messrs. A. & 11. Smith have done a good work in erecting this mill so convenient to the town, and their Superintendent, Mr. E. 0. Thompson, who also has an itterest in the business, was well chosen. He is a thorough going business man, fully understands his profession, and those who have patronized him heretofore, know his energy and promptness. The erection of the mill under consideration pays a high tribute to his skill as a workman, and cstab lishes him as a master of practical ecnomy. If any man can erect a steam saw mill on a simpler arid less costly plan and yet more convenient and sub stancial, we should like to make his acquaintance for the purpose of going into the mill business. Such a man is worth a thousaud lagards in a com munity, and deserves the liberaljpa tronage bestowed upon him. GEN. JOHN C. VAUGHN. This distinguished Confederate sol dier of Fast Tennessee, l-ut recently of Thotuasvilltj, where he was con nected with the Dry Goods firm of Ainsworth, \ aughn & Sanford, is now connected with the well known firm of H. MoCabe & Cos., wholesale deal ers in Fur and Wool Hats, Furs, Bul falo Robes, &c., of the city of New York. Gen. Vaughn was invited to the city by warm Inends,and his con nection with the above house is only a part of the business lie has laid out for himself, lie has also constituted himself General Agent for the pur chase of goods and orders addressed to him at No. 80 and 82 Ch a tubers Street, New York, to tho care of 11. McCabe & Cos., will receive prompt attention. To those who may not know him, we will state that General Vaughn is a true gentleman, as well as soldier, possesses good business capa city and is thoroughly reliable. None ever had cause to tegret confidence placed in him, and as an exilo pro scribed und banished from his opulent homo, in the beautiful valleys of Fast Tennessee, after the total destruetion of all his property, he is in every re spect worthy of tho confidence and putrouage ol tho Southern people. “ SUBSCRIBER. ’ A coircspondent under tho above signature, and a patron ol the Enter prise, in tho goodness of his heart and devotion to principle, writes us a let ter of encouragement. We publish it as evidence of the approval of our course by the people, and that other subscribers may have tho benefit of his views. Gen. I’opo has, indeed, badly crippled us by his order ngainst the press, but with the increased lavor of our patrons, we may be able to weather the storm. AH civil officer* are forbidden to advertise in our pa per, and this cuts off nearly one-half of our profits ; but we bel eve the in telligent peoplo of the country agree with our views, and will sustain tho paper notwithstanding Gen’l Pope’s starvation order. If we find, however, that we nro mistaken, and that tho people neither agree with us, nor will ingly sustain the paper, we will then consider whether we will let it go down, or sell out to some person not under military Bans. If the Enter prise cannot be sustained as a S>mi- Weekly, it will be reduced to a Week ly until Gen. Pope is removed, or his starvation order revoked, and we think the former will take place before frost. We hope our patrons, however, will not wait for eitherof these events, but show us with the incoming harvest that they mean to sustain the paper. f&/'M&dame Murat, died recontly on her plantation, near Tallahassee. Floi rida. COTTON CROP. We have very unfavorable accounts of the present prospect of the Cotton crop in this section. The late inces sant rains have done immense dam age to the cotton, causing it to run to weed instead of bearing fruit, while rust and Cattcrpillars are also ravaging the fields. Some gentlemen say their cotton crops are greatly damaged by rain and rust, while others declare that the oatterpillars are devouring everything. [for tue southern enterprise.j Mr. Editor ! — lu the new order of things, consequent upon emancipation, there seems to be considerable diffi. culty in properly adjusting the rela tion between capital and labor. According to the plan now in use, the landlord furnishes the land, the team and implements, directs the la bor, and advances supplies to the la borer for himself and family, who re ceives a part of the crop as remunera tion. This plan is objectionable in several important particulars : Ist. The laborer always overesti. mates the crop and under estimates the amount of supplies necessary, and when a settlement is made at the end of the y'ear, the amount ho receives falls so far short of his calculation, that he is dissatisfied, thinks he is defraud ed by his employer and compla ns to the Bureau 2d. When he is to receive a part of the crop, the laborer thinks he ought to have a voice in the general man agement of the plantation business, and labors faithfully only when things move in unison with his views. 3td. They will be continually chang ing places in hope of doing better another year, or on a different p’anta. tion, and thus any thing like perma nency and stability in plantation econ omy be defeated. Cannot these difficulties be in a great measure remedied, by employing labor at wages, payable monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually. If this plan was pursued there would be less, if any difficulty in making settlements. The laborer would know exactly what lie is getting—he would have no interest in the crop, and would not tiierelore as sume to have any voice in the man agement of the plantation business, but do wl at lis employer wants done at the time and in the way directed, with a knowledge that diligence and good faith were necessary on his part to secure employment. It would also avoid many a difficulty about the price of supplies advanced , the laborer will have the money due him under his control, and if he is not satisfied with the price asked by bis employer, he could go elsewhere and buy, and if overreached at any time in a bargain, he could blame no one but himself. These suggestions arc made with a hope that practical men will discuss this question and adopt the best plan. Observer. [for the southern enterprise.] Mr. Editor :— The manly course you have and arc pursuing with your many noble conmcers, has brought upon your unprotected heads the order of Gen. Rope, excluding from your jour nals all public printing, lie deter mining thus to starve the press into submission. This, Mr. Editor, is a shame and a stigma upon republican ism Many are censuring the press lor lifting its voice in behalf of the Constitution of our fathers—claimin'* submission becomes us best I believe in submission as much as any one ought, but when they demand I should perjure myself, “We ought to obey God rather than man.” We submit to negro rule, bureau, negro juries, taxation, and say, “Lay on Macduff,” but when they inako us swear to sup port tho Constitution, and then want us in the next breath to violate our oath, wo just won’t do it, that’s all.— And for ono I am detei mined tncy shan’t starve out tho l’ress. I am willing to pay double, treble the pre sent subscription price, rather than have the voice of the press hushed. I believe I but speak the sentiments of a largo portion of your subscribers. Lit the Radicals do ns they may, pass what oppressive measures they may, wc will submit, willingly submit; but the right of conscience and the wor. shipping of God, 1 am taught from my Bible, rests not with rulers, but with God only, who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Stand by our re served rights, Mr. Editor, and while all submit, let your voico bo raised de claring its unconstitutionality, and when the realm of conse:eiicc is invad ed, as in reconstruction acts, cry out against, advise, and entreat your coun trymen not rashly to leave tho laws of the God of Heaven and accept iu their stead tho laws of the Bump Congress. Don’t break down, Mr. Editor, but if necessary raiao your subscription at once. A Subscriber. [for the southern enterprise.] Mr. Editor :— ln my communica tion signed "Education” I have made a wrong impression by leaving out the word would. The scutenco should have been rendered, “ 1 t could usk no better.’’ Col. Rockwell is not associated with Fletcher Institute. I only mentioned his name to show that there were men in our midst to the manor born, ns ca pable and equally ns worthy as those at a distance, of whom, iu the lan guage of another, it may be said, “ ’Tis distance lends enchantment to their names, and clothes thoir mental pow ers iu so rich u hue,” 1 am decidedly in favor of a College in which our sons and daughters may be associated together in the same classes. The evils of a contrary course have been numerous and fatal to both. It is absolutely necessary for each that a chaste and pure association exist, and their being seperated in the scho lastic and collegiate courses, causes the boys to grow up without the refin ing polish which association gives, and the gins to grow up without that fin ish and courtly grace which adds such dignity to a true lady—both grow alike careless of person and dress. Let them grow up together, bo educated together, and they become assimulated to each other; and to please each oth er being their daily study, it becomes a fixed habit for life, and to such, life is one protracted scene of mutual af fection and sympathy. Female Colleges are numerous our State —they live and flourish. Our male Colleges must cither be under Sta’e patronage or endowed. Why is it they are not self-supporting 1 Ono reason I know is, because boys are so rude and mischievous they seek retired places for their location, hence, their support is almost exclusively from a distance; another is, tuition being alone for college studies, there being no music, needle work, painting, &c., as in female colleges. With the absence of these extras, and an uncer tain number of stadents, they are compelled to be given up entirely or endowed. Wc surely ought to learn wisdom from tho past, and as we have sons arid daughters to educate, let us build up Fletcher Institute, so that parents moving to Thomusville can educate both their sons and daughters, and wc hold - ut the strongest induce ments that can be offered to parents in these sad days of change. lam identified with Thomasvi-le I know, and appreciate her many advantages, and do say Thomasville ought to be the center for such a College. There are enough boys and girls in Thomas county to support it lundsomely. Fletcher Institute needs repair and four hundred dollars will fix the male department for use. Are there riot twenty who will give twenty dollars each, placing the money in Mr. Ba ker’s hands to have sash put in the windors, desks. &c.—the floors will do. Give the money gentlemen, and give Mr. Baker assurance of patronage, and I pledge you from what 1 know of him, that he will leave no leaf un turned. Speak out gentlemen, fath ers, mothers, through the Enterprise. Capt. Bryan will publish the names and views of those subscribing. The exercises will soon commence. Let us have the male department ready. Who will be one of the twenty ? A friend of Education. Highly Important—No Negroes to be in the State Convention. Augusta, August 30. —The Chroni cle and r-entinol asserts, on the au thority of a member of the Board of Registration, that private instructions have been issued that freed men will not be permitted to take seats in the ap proaching State Convention. General Rope having been written to, to know whether there was any truth in the report that he intended issuing an order staying the collection of debts, replies : “No conceivable circumstances could induce me to interfere with the general bus.ness of tho State, or relation to debtors and creditors; the only orders issued, or to be issued, arc such as aro c nsidered necessary to the execution of the Reconstruction Acts, which do not warrant violent changes in the or dinary course of civil business. “The people must look for relief to tho State Convention. Ido not con sider such matters within my province to adjust.” A Conservative Mass Meeting. Columbus, Ga , August 31. A large Conservative meeting was held here to-day, and was attended by a large number of whites and blacks.— The meeting was addressed by Joseph Williams and Benjamin Holmes (col ored) of Tennessee. Great enthusiasm prevailed. Resolutions passed demanding the enfranchisement of all the whites, und declaring the rights of negroes to hold oflico. There was good order until the speech of A. R. Lamar (white), when an interuption by a soldier of the garri son was promptly arrested, lie was placed in tho guard house. A demonstration was made last night by Radical negroes to mob Joo Wil liams and Holmes. Why General Strides teas Re moved. — Tho Washington correspon dent of tho New York Herald says: “Tho cause of tho removal of General Sickles is his insubordination in diso beying the positivo commands of tho l’resident. The Order No. 10, resist ing the execution of mandates of the United States Supreme Court in North Carolina was rocinded by the Resi dent some weeks ago, and General Grant instructed General Sickles ac oordingly ; but the latter, instead of promptly submitting, ordered his subi ordinates not to obey the instructions forwarded by the Attorney General at the command of tho President, and wroto a very offensive letter toGcncral- Grant, in which he alluded in disre spectful terms, indirectly, to the l’res ident, and asked for n suspension of the order until such time us he (Sick les) could write a defence of his course. Tho President, however, refuses to wait when a plain, positive command is recklessly disregarded, and retires Sickles with unusual promptness.-- Tho next victim will undoubtedly be General Rope, who in a short time will be removed to make way for Gen eral Wager Swayr-e ” •SrAYhon the President's aid wai ted upon Gen.

Ho said : “Very well.” Removal of Sheridan. Correspondence Between Gen. Grant and the President. New York, August 26.—The fol lowing is a correspondence between Gen. Grant and the President: Heado’rs, Armies of the U. S , 1 Washington, August 17, 1867. j To His Excellency Andrew Johnson, President of the United States : Sir—l am in receipt of your order of this date, directing me to appoint Gen. G. 11. Thomas to the command of the Fifth Military District, Gen. Sheridan to the Department of the Tenth, and Gen. Hancock to the De partment of the Cumberland ; and al so your note of this date, enclosing these instructions to carry into effect the enclosed order. I would be pleas ed to hear any suggestions you may deem necessary, respecting the assign ments to which the order refers. I am pleased to avail myself of this invitation to urge earnestly—urge in the name of a patrotic people, who have thousands of niillic ns of treasure to preserve, and the integrity and union of this country, that this order be not insisted on. It is unmistaka bly tho express id wish of the country that Gen. Sheridan should not be re moved from his present command.— This is a republic where the will of the people is the law of the land. I beg that their voices may be heard. Gen. Sheridan Las performed his civil duties faithfully and intelligently, and his removal will only be regarded as an effort to defeat the laws of Con gress. It will bo interpreted by the unreconstructed element in the South —-those who did all they could to break up this government by arms, and now wish to be the only element consulted as to the method of resto ring order and tiiumph. It will em bolden renewed opposition to the will of the loyal masses, believing that they have the Executive with them. The services of General Thomas in battling for the Union entitle him to some consideration. He has repea tedly entered his piotest against being assigned to either of the five military districts, and especially to being as signed to relieve General Sheridan General Hancock ought not to be re moved from where he is. llis depart ment is a complicated one, which will take anew commander sometime to become acquainted with. There are military reasons, pecuniary reasons, and above all, patriotic reasens why this order should not be insisted on. I beg to refer to a letter marked pri vate, which I wrote to the President wl.cn first consulted on the subject of change iu the War Department, and it bears upon the subject of this re moval, and I had hoped would have prevented it. I have the honor to bo, with great respect, your obedient servant, Ulysses S. Grant, General United States Army, And Secretary of War ad interim. Executive Mansion. *| Washington, D. C., Aug. 19 ’67. j General: I liavo received your communication of the 17th instant, and thank you for tho promptness with which you have submitted your views respecting the assignments di rected in my order of that date.— When I stated in my official note of the 17tli that I would be pleased to hear any suggestions you might deem necessary upon the subject, it was not my intention to ask from you a lot rnal report, but rather to invite a ver bal statement of any reasons affecting the public interests, which, iu your opinion, would render the order inex pedient. Inasmuch, however, as you have responded in a written commu nication, it is proper that 1 should make sonic reply. You earnestly urge that the order be not insisted on, re marking that it is unmistakably the expressed wish of the country that Gen. Sheridan should not be removed from his present command. While I am cognizant of the efforts that have been made to relievo Gen Sheridan of the command of the Fifth Military District, 1 am not awaro that the question lias been submitted to the peoplo themselves for determina tion. It would certainly be unjust to the army to assume thatiu the opin ion of the nation, lie alone is capable of commanding the States of Louisiana and Texas, and that were ho for any cause removed, no other General in tho military service of the United States could be competent to till his place. General Tl.omas, whom 1 have designed as his successor, is well known to tho country. Having won high and honorable distinction in tho field, he has since, in the execution of the responsible duties of a department commander exhibited great ability, sound discretion and sterling patriot ism. He has not failed under the most trying circumstances to enforce the laws, preserve peace and order, to en courage the restoration of civil au tho ity, and to promote as tar as possi ble, a spmt of reconciliation. His ad ministration of tho Department of the Cumberland wi 1 1 certainly compare with that of General Sheridan of the Fifth Military District. There affairs appear to be in a disturbed condition, and a bitter spirit of antagonism seems to have resulted from General Sheri dan’s management. Ho has ren Jcrod himself exceedingly obnoxious by the manner iu which ho has exercised even the powers conferred by Congress and still more so by a resort to authori ty not granted by law, nor necessary to his faithful and efficient execution. His rule has in fact been ono of abso lute tyranny, without reference to the principles of our Government or nature of our free institutions. The state of affairs which has resul ted from the course he has pursued has seriously interfered with a harmoni ous, satisfactory and speedy execution of the acts of Congress, and is alone sufficient to justify a change. His re moval, therefere, cannot ho regarded as an effort to defeat the laws of Con gress, for the object is to facilitate their execution through an officer who has never failed to obey the laws, and to exact within his junsdict'on a like obedience from others. It cannot be interpreted by the unreconstructed element of the Sooth —those who did all they could to break up this govern ment, and now wish to be the only element consulted as to the method of restoring order—as a triumph ; for, as intelligent men, they must know that the mere change of military comman ders cannot alter the law," and that General Thomas will be as much bound by the requirements as General Sheridan. It cannot embolden them to renewed opposition to the will of the masses, believing that they have the Executive with them, for they are per fectly familiar with the antecedents oi the President, and know that he has not obstructed Congress. No one, as you are aware, las a higher apprecia tion than myself of the services of Gen. Thomas, and no one would be less inclined to assist hiiu to a com. mand not entirely agrocable to his wishes. Knowing him as 1 do, I can not think he will hesitate fur a mo ment to obey my order having in view a complete and speedy restoration of the Union, in preservation of which Lo lias rendered such important and valuable services. General Hancock, known to thecoun try as a gallant, able and patriotic sol dier, will, I have no doubt, sustain his high reputation in an y position to which he may be assigned. If, as you observe, the department which Gener al Sheridan will have is a complicated one, I feel confident that under the guidance snd instruction of General Sherman, he will soon become familiar with its necessities, and will avail him. self of the opportunity afforded by the recent Indian troubles for display of the energy, enterprise and during which gave him so enviable a reputa tion during the recent civil struggle. In assuming that it is the expressed wish of the people that General Sheri dan should not bo removed from this present command, you remark that this is a republic ; it is based, however, up on a written constitution. That con stitution is the combined and express ed will of the people, and their voice is law when reflected in the manner which that instrument prescribes.— While one of its provisions makes the President commander-in-chief of the army and navy, the other requires that he shall take cure that the law shall be faithfully executed; und believing that a change in tin command of the sth Military District is necessary for a faithful execution of the law, I have issued the order which is the subject of this correspondence. In exercising a power that inheres in tho Executive, under toe constitution, as the comman der in-chief of the army and navy, 1 am discharging a duty required of me by the will of the nation,*as formally declared in the supreme law of the land. By his oath the Executive is solemnly bound, to the best of his ability, to preserve, protect and defend the constitution, and although in time of great excitement it be lost to public view, it is his duty, without regard to consequeuces to himself, to hold sacred an ! enforce any and all of its provis ions, against any course which would lead to the destruction of the republic; for the constitution once a’ olished. there would be no Congress for the exercise of legislative powers, no Exe cutive to see that the laws are faith fully executed, no Judiciary to afford to citizens protection for life, limb and property, and usurpation would inevit ably tollow, and despotism bo fixed on the people in violation of their com. Lined and expressed will. In conclusion, I fail to perceive any military, pecuniary or patriotic reasons why this order should not be carried into elf ct. You will icuicmbcr that -ii the first instance I did not consider General Sheridan the most suitable person for tho command of the sth Military District. Time has strength ened my conclusions upo i this point. Respectfully, Andew Jenson. Cui Bono ?—The public are ask ing, if the President removes the mili tary Commanders and leaves all the wrongs and mischief they have done in lull force, what good has ho accom plished ? The question is well put.— Jf it is right to keep their obnoxious acts in itircu, it was ee-lai-lj wrong to remove them This is genuine logic, and nobody can answer it. We can Only account for tho strange omission on the supposition that the President docs one tiling at a time, and when he gets ri-1 of the old Commanders and finds the new ones firmly seated, he will instruct them to remedy all hard ships and injustice put upou the peo ple by their predecessors.

Black and White Voters in Geor gia.— It is stated the returns of th registration of voters in Georgia, which have been nearly completed, indicate that instead of about thirty thousand white majority, as was expected, the blacks will have a small majority, pro bably not exceeding two thousand votes It was expected that the whites would have a majority of at least twen ty-five thousand, after a lull registra. tion; but it seeuis that the disfranchise, nient consequent upon the reconstruc tion acts has t een more extensive than was anticipated.— Sac.

Registration a Farce.— The utter folly of the white people of the South expecting anything like a fair showing from the (so-called) Reconstruction laws, is manifest. We see it stated that at the close of registration in New Orleans the whites had fifty majority, though a sweeping disfranchisement had paralyzed fully onc-half their vote.
