The Lincoln Monument.
We were really surprised to see
with what barc-taced impertinence,
the Lincoln Monumental Association
have applied to the City Council of
Atlanta, for donation of land, (some
ten acres, costing $15000,) whereon
they might erect a National Monument
to the memory of Abuauam Lincoln.
Do these gentlemen imagine that
our people are so lost to all teelings of
principle ‘that the dazzling bait they
flutter in our faces, three quarters to
one million of dollars to flow into our
city,’ will be eagerly caught at, and
that we have become so degraded as
to sell our very souls for filthy lucre ?
Are we expected so far to forget
the past, that we must assist in bull
ing a cenotaph, that will ever prove an
eyesore to us, reminding us of the
destroyer of our property, and the im
mediate cause of all our troubles and
sufferings ?
Will the gentlemen please inform
ns what great cause we have for lov
ing Abraham Lincoln, or idolizing
his memory, or have we not rather
cause to look upon him as a usurper
of our dearest rights, and hold him in
utter detestation ? No gentlemen, wo
will submit to your erecting the mon
ument at your own expense, and that
of your Radical and negro brethren,
because we are compelled to do so,
but do not add insult to injury, by
asking us to become fawning syco
phants and cringing slaves, and bow
t>ur beads in the dust, worshiping the
hand that smote us, for by the help ol
Almighty (rod, we will never do it,
City Council of Atlanta will
never become so lost to all sense of
honor as to purchase favor at the sac
rifice of the principles of our people.
We believe them to be men of noble
sentiment, and not blatant hypocrites,
like many of those who would force
this hell-begotten scheme upon us.—

DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Many persons are in favtr of a Dis
trict Convention for the nomination of
candidates to represent the Conserva
tive party of the 7th District, compos
sod of the counties of Thomas, Brooks
and Colquitt, in the approaching Stato
Convention. We, therefore, suggest
Saturday the 12th inst., and Thomas
ville the place for a Convention of ilie
three counties composing the 7th Sen
atorial District to meet in convention
for the above purpose. If our friends
of Brooks and Colquit favor the move
they arc requested to send up their
delegates.
WHAT SHALL WE DO?
The election, appointed by General
Pope for a State Convention, is rapid
ly approaching, and the Radicals are
thoroughly organized and working with
all their power to deceive and vote the
colored population against the inter
ests of the whites. Under these cir
cumstances what shall the Conserva
tives do? Pope has so arranged the
election districts as < ffcctually to ex
elude a white majority in the Conven
tion if the negroes vote a unit fur the
Radicals; but will the Radicals be able
to control the colored* vote so effectu
ally ? If the jespectable white peo
ple of the State will use the influence
they have over the colored people,and
bend their energies to the redemption
of the State, we believe the Radicals
would be defeated, hoi sc, loot and
dragoon.
The question is, will they do it?~
If each man is content to sit down
and wait for his neighbor, or for the
editors, or the politicians to move in
the matter, n< thing will be done for
the good of the country. It is every
man’s duty to do all in his power for
the gcod of the country,and as every
Conservative man be ieves the Radi
cals should be defeated for the good
of the country, every man shou'd con
sider it Ins duty to use all the means
in his power, | eaccably, to bring about
that result. The Conservative papers
of the State arc urging the pooplo of
the various Districts to organize, and
th ! question conics up for decision be
fore the people of Thomas, Brooks and
Colquitt, who are entitled under Pope’s
order to three delegates. It will not
do fur us to let things go by d.-fault.
We must let the world know there is
a vast population of intelligent people
in the South who do not sanction the
tyrany of a fanatical and revolutiona
ry Congress.
If we work wo shall accomplish
some good; and, while we oppose the
Convention, we must put out candi
dates and use all our influence to elect
them. If wo do this, it wll bo found
that the Radical power iu this District
will be effectually broken.
COME TO GRIEF.
’1 he great Homestead , Confiscation
Meeting of the colored people, called
by the notorious Bradley, to meet in
Savannah a few days ago, oamo to
grief bofure any homesteads were se»
cured or any property confiscated.—*
i'he Savannah papers say the colored
people of the city, being more intelli
gent, refused to listen to Bradly and
did not take part in his meeting. He
attempted ti harangue tho country
people he had deceived and brought
around him, and abused the Loyal
League of the city, when tho loyal
leaguers pitched into him and a gene
ral row ensued. Tho police and the
military at once appeared on tho
ground, charged through the assembly,
dispersed and put to flight Bradley
and all his followers.
KILKENNY CATS.
Our exchanges, from every quarter,
bring us the intelligence of trouble in
the ranks of the Radicals, l-i many
places the party has split wide open
and are in open war with oneanother.
They are so greedy after office and so
busily engaged cursing and lighting
each other, that they do not perceive
that tho bone of contention has been
slipped away by tho groat reaction go
ing on all over the North, and that
they are left desolate in their houses.
Blind guides.
White Mon All Liars.
It is a melancholy fact that since
the laws oi the -State have boon amen
ded so ns to allow negroes to appear
as witness iu all cases, white people
have suddenly stopped telling tho
truth. Not ono white person can be
found who regards the sanctity of an
oath, and who hesitates to tell a lie.
That this is the caso ii is only neces
sary to visit tho Mayor’s Court, and
listen to tho witnesses who daily ap
pear there. If the most respectable
and highly esteemed citizen of Rich
mond appears as a witness there will
i be a half doz-ii negro witnesses pres
ent to swear that he is not tolling the
truth. Some ol these are professional
witnesses, and are always on hand,
ready to bo called tor iu any ease that
may come up. It is very bad that
white men are incapable oi swearing
to tho truth in these latter days!

A REMINISqENCE
OF THE
“ THOMASVILLE GUARDS.’’
In Sept.mbor, 1861, before the 0.
S. Government hud discovered that it
was within the bounds of possibility
lor a sufficient number of Federal war
vessels to bo concentrated at ono point
to “take” a Confederate battery, the
Thotnasville Guards were stationed on
Sapelo Island, on the Georgia coast,
where they were expected, with five
antiquated cannon, to guard the im
portant port of Darien against the in
roads of the enemy.
One of the very best members of
tins company was Private J. M. B ,
who was, without doubt the “raciest
specimen’’ of “humanity” I ever saw;
| and who, while at this place, met with
an adventure that made him feel seri
ous for, perhaps, the only time in his
life.
j -Jim, as everybody called him, was
[ a large, fine-looking fellow, with a
j broad, jolly face, in which twinkled a
] pair of mischievous, black eyes, and
; which was further embellished with an
irresistible mouth, always, even in Ids
sleep, puckered up for a rib-cracking
witticism.
One day, when Jim was on picket
at the Light House, lie took it into his
head to step into a boat that lay rock
ing in a cove near at hand, where it
j had been moored for protection from
a half-grown gale that was careering
across the sound from landward,, and,
in its juvenile glee, capping the roll
icking waves that were leaping and
tumbling at its bidding, i.nd making
the inlet, between Sapelo and Wolf
Islands, a delicate place for small
crafts.
The “painter’’ of the boat was inse
curely attached to a tuft of grass, or
| something on the bank of the little
J cove, and as Jim walked aft his weight
| settled the boat down astern and gave
it an impetus backward. Jim had not
examined his fastening, and was,
doubtless, meditating upon some new
digester for tho boys, while the boat,
j obedient to the impulse it had receiv
ed, was slowly slipping its hawser, and,
j under the influence of the ebb, was
gradually gliding out of its hiding-
I place and away from the land. Jim,
meanwhile, continued to gaze, in bliss
ful ignorance, upon the foaming waves
in the channel, and was actually among
them before be knew be was adrift.
When he did discover it, he turned
suddenly toward the land, gazed for a
| moment in comic, blank astonishment,
| and then seizing an oar, which hap.
j pened to have been left in the boat, lie
| began paddling with might and main,
I as he had often done with a batteuu in
| the latnoiiia Lake at home. But he
| commenced too late, the boat “wouldn’t
gee,” and all lie could do was to turn it
round and round as he drifted still far
ther Ire in tho shore, and rol'cd and
plunged along toward the sea.
His condition was now really very
precarious. The boat, al bough too
heavy to be managed by a single oar
in such a sea, was quite too frail for
the boisterous ocean, into which ho
was rapidly being driven. Both the
pilot boats, which belonged to the Iss
land, were absent. There was not an
other boat within three miles of the
Light House, and before any one could
have gone for and returned with ono
of the skill’s at the landing above, he
would have been, if still afloat, out in
the wide Atlantic, where it. would have
been madness to I'ollow with less than
a pilot boat.
As ho drifted by us, we could only
gaze after him in pity; and, as the
boat drovo farther and farther out, and
felt more and more tho influence of
tho wind aud waves, he quietly seated
himself in tho bow and gazed with
longing eyes toward the fast receding
shore, while his white face lookol
ghastly against the dark, back-ground
of the angry ocean.
Justat this juncture, however, Haz
ard’s pilot boat, hove in sight from up
the sound, and the pilot having been
directed to the estray by our excited
signals, put down Ins helm and went
heeling after poor Jim. Near the bai
lie overhauled the runaway boat, and
Jim was soon rejoicing with his
friends on terraJirma.
On being asked to describe bis feel
ings during his voyage, Jim said that
when he first found himself adrift he
i was bewildered for a few moment-; he
| then “got mud,” and “pumped out a
j few tearing s,” aud tried the pad
j dling scheme; finding that nothing
could he done in I hat way, and recol
lecting lhe utter absence of boats from
our part of tho Island, ho “got sheer
ed,’’ and as too waves bounced his
boat about like a cockle shell, momen
tarily threatening to set it sailing keel
up, he tried to pray, but could think
of nothing iu that line but “now 1 lay
mu down to sleep.” Discovering, even
\ in his terror, that neither the words
nor tho sentiment of that prayer were
appropriate to the occasion, lie com
menced repeating “table grace;” and
utterly tailing to make any “grace" he
had ever heard “till the bill,” he gave
up his attempts to pray aud “cussed"
a little more; then, as lie saw the land
rapidly receding, tho channel growing
wider, the wind blowing harder, the
waves running higher, and heard the
thundering of tho ocean just before
him, ho repented of his “slack lan,
guage,” and began to wonder how ma
ny somersets a boat could turn without
capsizing.
J ust as despair bad taken its final
hold upon him, Hazard appeared, and
then lie thought the rough, hitrd-loidn
my pilot the handsomest man he ever
| saw, and fell violently in love with him
I —reviving, under the genial influence
i of the seaman’s smile, to his usual
I state of “valorous salubrity.”
The result of the whole matter was
that Jim could never lie coaxed into a
skiff again as long as ho remained on
the Uland.

The Grand Army Conspiracy
Against tho South and tho Gov
ernment.
Washington, September 23.—Im
portant additional facts have-come to
light pointing to tho treasonable purs
poses of the Grand Army of the Re
public. At the convention of the
“loyal Governors” and other Radicals
in Philadelphia, on the 13th of Sep
tember last, a committee of two from
each of the States was appointed, and
this committee appointed a sub-com
mittee on the political situation, con
sisting of Gen. lien Butler, Governor
Ilarriman, of New Hampshire; Gen.
Seigel, Senator lloss, of Kansas; Gen.
Schenck, of Ohio; Col. Hawkins, of
Now Y-ofk, and George W. Paschal, of
Texas!
This sub-committee met with the
Soldiers’ Convention at Pittsburg, in
October following, and there aided in
organizing the Grand Army of the Ile
publ.c.
As it was apprehended that the
President’s policy would restore tho
political power of the rebel States to
the Southern whites, this sub-commit
tee was specially charged to take all
necessary steps to defeat such a result
It was determined that the Southern
“ loyalists,’’ including tho negroes,
should Hold all power and, when nec
essary, should be supported by this
secret army, the members of which
were to Ie educated up to the point
that no change of administration and
no change in Oongresiuiial power was
allowed lo interfere with this negro
supremacy. As showing the animus
ol this treasonable body as organized
at Pittsburg, it is only necessary to al
lude to the speech made by one of the
members while in secret sessson. He
said he knew “hut little and cared
less about politics, hut that he would
bed and if the war should close
until every retiel was out of office iu
the South.’’
My informant was present at the
meeting, and reports that this declara
tion was received with great applause.
Those who doubt the truth of this
statement can have it verified by in
quiring of either member of the sub
committee, all of whom were actively
engaged in installing tho idea into
such of the votrau soldiers as they
could entrap, that wliut they fought
for would be lost if the policy of Pres
ident Johnson should succeed, and
negro supremacy in the -South would
be defeated. Since the adjournment of
the Pittsburg Convention, this Grand
Army of the Republic has swollen to
gigantic proportions, at an expenditure
of nearly two hundred thousand dol
lars. Not only has the enrolment
boon progressing steadily and rapidly
among the negroes at the South, but
the militia of several of the Northern
States have been officered in a manner
looking specially to the crisis, when
the State troops may ho needed “ out
side of the Constitution.’’
If this fact be questioned, I respect
fully refer to Governor Fenton, of
New York, who can tell why Colonel
Hawkins, late of the Hawkins Zou
aves, and an ember of tho sub-conn
miltce, was placed at the head of the
militia organization of his State. One
reference as respectable as this will
suffice, but several others can be given.
In view of the late election results
another meeting of the originators of
tho scheme is proposed to be held for
tho purpose of leeching the reports
from recruiting and other offices, and
for perfecting their plans of resistance
totlie Government authorities. These
lucts aro not less true than startling,
and 1 have the witnesses who can
prove them.
Mr- Pendleton on Repudiation.
The Democrats of Cleveland, Ohio,
having serenaded Messrs. Gem-go 11.
Pendleton and George E. Pugh at a
hotel in that city on tho evening of tho
18th inst., Mr. Pendleton in his res
spouse, took occasion to explain his
position in relation to tho payment of
tho five twenty bonds. He said:
‘Let me state to you the position,—
We have an enormous debt. Wo have
a rate of taxation beyond nil example,
oppressive. We have a system of le
gal tender notes and a system of na
tional banks. I am sorry wo have seen
them. I did not vote for them, and
am not responsible for them. They
are great evils. They ought to he get
ten rid cf. And .it they present any
means of assisting us in getting rid of
them, we ought to seize it. The non
interest paying debt, consisting of
grci nbaoks and unliquidated debt,
amounts to nboiit §NOO,UuO,OOO. The
proposition of the Republicans is to
convert this debt, into bonds which
pay interest in gold Tho interest on
those bonds will ho $10,000,000 in
g Id annually. The result will be to
increase by that amount the expenses,
to convert active capital into inactive
capital, and thus to increase the num
ber of those who do not pay taxes, an t
to increase the burdens of those who
-lo pay taxes. 1 maintain that this
dtbt ought not to he so converted that
these $ 15,000,000 in gold should be
saved. There are four hundred mill
ions nf Cieso bonds in the Treasury as
security tor the national bank curren
cy. i’liey are represented by a near
ly equal amount of bank notes They
call for 82-1,000,000 in gold annuall
as interest. Now 1 maintain that Jiese
bonds should be redeemed in green
backs. Tho result would he that
greenbacks would take the place id
the bunk notes, which would lie called
in, and that $24,00(1,000 of interest
wo ild be saved. If that $21,000,000
were added to the $48,000,000, of
which 1 have spoken, y-m have 872,-
000,000 in gold annually; and this,
properly compounded, would pay the
vfliola debt, principal and interest, in
fifteen years.
‘And now observe that thus far 1
have not proposed to add ono dollar to
your taxis, uor one dollar to the cur.
rcncy. This process ol redemption
can be pressed as fust as the business
an-1 values of tlie country will bear an
expansion of the currency. lam sat
isfied that they can bear mo e now.—
I am satisfied that the good to result
will more than compensate for the
evils. How far the expansion may be
safely carried, I cannot pretend, with
exactness, to say. All that I main
tain is this: That just as rapidly as
the prosperous condition of the busi
ness will permit it, tho bends sliouli
be redeemed in greenbacks; for just
so fast will the interest be paid, the
taxes be reduced, and labor be reliev
ed from the burdens which now so
heavily oppresses it.’
Jefferson Davis’ Trial.
A special telegram to the New York
Herald of the 27th, dated Richmond,
Va., Fepternbcr 26th saying that it
has now become definitely settled that
tho Davis trial will take place at tho
November term of the Giicuit Ci urt
here. Judge Chase has expressed his
intention of presiding, and if the rebel
exsl’resident does not fail to come up
to time on bis straw bail, questions of
great importance will arise which will
require all the diplomacy and, ability
of tho Chief Justice to evade and de
cl'e.
The opinion is expressed that, al
lowing Davis will appear, tho trial will
ho shirked by tho Government, and
the prisoner will again bo set at liber
ty on bail. There is reason, however,
to contradict such an orronions impres
sion. Indications lead to tiie belief
that tho trial will ho proceeded with,
and a mass of tho most important
events connected with the history of
the rebellion disclosed. The counsel
for defence will demand a trial, and if
the government urge as an excuse,
not ready, the court will express its
intention to remain in session a suffi
ciant tune to prepare; failing in this,
a nolle prosequi will then be entered
by which the discharge of the prisoner
may bo effected. The latter is not
likely, arid the trial, which the nation
at largo demand, will bo proceeded
with. Davis can scarcely be convic
ted. AVitli Chase on the bench and
Davis in the prisoner’s box, and the
right o! secession in question, a drama
of great national interest will be pre
sented, in which the principal actors
will have to study well their parts.
Mr- Davis and His Trial
Washington, October 3.—The in
timation that the Executive Depart
ment is interesting itself about Davis’
trial is entirely groundless Since ho
was delivered to the Judicial authori
ties in May tho Federal Executive has
taken no action in his case.
Hon. Jus. L. Fox, recently here
from visiting his client, represents Mr.
Davis ready and anxious for trail.
The defence will contend that the
recognized constitutional doctrine
North and South, previous to the war,
was that first allegiance was due to the
State ; that the State having immedi
ate control of the citizen’s life and
property, unfaithfulness to it involved
the iinmediato loss of both.
Tho Kremlin.
The Moscow (Russian) correspond
ent of the New York Tribune writes:
To-day our officers have spent most
ly in the Kremlin, sacred to tho Rus
sian as having withstood the confla
grations of Napoleon in 1812. The
Kremlin is two miles iu circuit, and
within its walls arc situated the Te
rema, the residence cf the Czars of
Russia, before l’eter the Great; the
large palace of the present Czar, the
Grunovitaza l’alace, the Cathedral ol
the Assumption, tho Holy Synod,
where the holy oil is kept and made,
with which all the children aro bap
tised ; the treasury, containing the
crowns of conquered kindoine, Sibe
ria l’o'and, Moscow, Crimea, Kazan,
an* Novgorod. The crown of i’etor
the Great, in this building, contains
817 diamonds, and that of Catharine,
his wife, 2536. Here aro also the
State earn aged used by EFz-beth in
journeying between St. Petersburg
and Moscow. One is fitted as n di
ningroom, where Elizabeth and her
suite of twelve dined at ono tabic.
In the Kremlin are the Russian can
nons taken from almost < very country
in Europe, and enough to make a
Trojan column. Here is the big 35-
inoh gun. The. big guti, probaly the
largest in the world, is mounted on
wheels, and is made of bronze. The
.balls, nine feet in circumference, arc
piled up at the mouth o.' the gun.
Admiral Farrngut measured the muz
zle to-day, in presence of tho party,
saying tint a Mississippi gunboat
might dodge the shots ! Jho Admiral
is not in favor of big guns, and thinks
tint when wo get beyond fifteen in
ches, we arc retrograding in science.
The big gun, like the big bell, has
never been tried, and in ease of explo
sion there would undoubtedly be more
danger in tho rear than in front.
The Prussians, who used no large guns
iu their campaign against the Aus
trians, last summer, knew what they
were about. Our officers are now

A Big Elephant With a Small
Keeper.
The Chicago Times speaks in very
sarcastic terms of the relations sup
posed to exist between General Grant
and the Hon. Mr. AYashburne :
It is sometimes thought desirable
foi persons who aspire to the high of
fice of President, to have a mentor, or
‘conscience-keeper.’ The especial ad
vantage of the arrangement is sup
posed to be, that it prevents them from
making fools of themselves. A man
who aspires to the Presidency is
thought to be extremely apt to make
a fool of himself. The supposition is
a reasonable one. The utility of a
conscience-keeper is shown in the fact
that most Presidential candidates who
have not had conscienccskcepers have
been defeated.
General Grant acts prudently in
having a conscience-keeper. The
person who has the keeping of his
conscience is also a useful one fur the
employment. He is known as the
lion. E B Washburne.
AYashburne is the olily man who
knows ‘how Grant stands.’ Graut
himself knows the least about it of
anybody.
W hen tire country is in want of in
formation concerning thc’views of Gen
era! Grant, the country can only got
it by applying to AVashburnc. The
country might as well apply to the
Khan of Tartary as apply to Grant.—
'J he Khan of 'J’urtary knows more
about it than Grant does, before Grant
has. sro-i and talked with Washburns.
Dick A'ates, whenever he makes a
sprech, holds up his right hand, in
vites his audience to look at it, and
then electrifies them with the informa
tion that it is the which Field the
pen which signed Grant’s first com
mission iu the war. AYashburne might
do better than that. He might over
whelm any common audience ly mere
ly assuming one of lis solemn faces,
and saying: ‘Behold the man who
can tell how General Grant stands.’
If Yv’aahburne should happen to
die, Grant would be chief mourner.—
But ho would not attend the funeral,
for there would bo none left to tell
him how lie ought to stand.
It is an un-Tenuiblc fact that. Kaylon’s
Dyspeptic Pills are the best medicine now
before iho American public, for several
reason.--: Fisliy, they do not weaken the
stonmclie and digestive organs of the hu
man frame; on the contrary, invigorate anil
give tone and strength to them, acting
mildly on the liver and creating a healthy
appetite; and filially they are entirely veg
etable, as any physician car. ascertain by
examining the formula from which they
arc made, the pioprietor authorizing us to
slate that all his formulas can be seen by
any respe- table physician. These pills are
not swallowed hy the dozens, nor does it
require such a large dose as is usually ne
cessary with oilier pills. The Professor
also presents two other remedies, whose
equal cannot, be found in modern medical
preparations, llis Oleum Vitae is the grea
test liniment known on the face of the
globe for rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous
headache, toothache, earache, sprains,
bruises, burns, etc., and Kaylon’s Magic
Cure siauds unrivalled for diarrhoea, dys
entery, cholera, in all its forms, crauip col
ics, coughs, colds, asthma, etc.
Givi- those remedies a trial, and you’ll
never he without a supply again. They
are for sale hy all respectable druggists
and country merchants, aud if you cannot
get them in your neighborhood, get your
druggist to order them for you from the
