so-called, in attendance on the South
ern Loyalists’ Convention in Philadel
phia. and is at present one of the lions
of that gathering of self-constituted
representatives of Southern Radical
ism. The Pres* gives an account of
a meeting of the Union League on
Friday night, on which occasion, after
Mr. Durant. of New Orleans, had de
livered himself of an half hour's har
rangne, in whieh be gave a most pa.
thetic account of the late riot in that
city, the parson Governor of Tennes
see held forth in a characteristic
speech. Asa specimen, we give the
foil wing extract : •
L am sorry to say to you. gentleman,
that matters at the South are not very
promising. lam not a sensationalist
nor an alarmist; 1 am not very easily
a’armed, hut 1 t you it i.- the purf _>.se
of the rebels to bring on another war.
[A voice: ‘-Toll us what arc the
prospect iu the South for the black
man."] His prospects are exactly those
of the “poor whites and mean sneaks.”
He need not look to the Administra
tion of Andrew Johnson for help. —
But I say to you in all candor, and
with the knowledge of what I am say
ing and the use that may be made of
it, that if the wicked spirit of the
South, the rebellious spirit, combined
with the treachery and copperhead ism
ol the North, sha 1 ! bring upon this
country another war, and force you,
gentlemen, to leave your homes and
fimilics to invade the South nnd put
and wn a second rebellion, 1 want t .
have something to ay about the di -
vision of your forces the next time. —
I would divide your great army into
three grand divisions. Let the first
g ’ armed and equipped as the laws of
the army require, with small arms
. and artillery. Let that be the largest
and let them do the killing.
Let .the - s con i be armed with pine
torch sand spirits of turpentine, and
let them do the burning. Let the
third and last division be supplied
with surveyors’ compasses and chains,
will survey out the land and
s ttli it. Wo will first sell it out, pay
the expenses of the War with the pro
coeds, and then settle it with men who
will honor this glorious banner.--- j
[Gfeat Applause,] Those arc my sen- j
timents.
I trust that our Convention next
week may 1c harmonious. lam here
at the head of a delegation which is a j
unit for the endorsement of the Con i
gross of the United States from be-,
ginning to end. [Applause.]
i am at the head of a delegation |
that will not endorse Andrew Johnson
or his insane policy, cither at home or
abroad, and I hold that the Congress
of the United States is the most patri- |
otic, brave and fearless body of men
that have met sinoc the Government
was organized. It has never been
excelled in wisdom by but one delib
erative assembly, and that is the pres
ent Legislature of Tennessee. fLaugh
ter and applause, during which the
speaker retired.]
Thr Firbnlil Convrnlinn - % Split on
Y'cjjro Suffrage—Two Report, and
Aililrer..
Philadelphia, Sept. G. —The ad
die-ses and resolutions of the Southern
Unionists Convention cn ! orses the
policy of Congress and opposes the
restoTati in ot the Southern States on
the conditions proposed by the l'resi- !
dent as too lenient., and declare that
amendments to the Constitution is the
only legal and constiutional plan for
restoring the rebellious States to the
Union. j
During the evening session Mr.
Hamilton, of Texas, protested against
the mode by which the Border States
had overslaughed the Southern Un
ionist-q r.nd gave notice that a minority
r port of the committee, advocating
negro suffrage, would he presented to
morrow. The Convention has virtually
split upon the negro suffrage question.
The border States’ delegations, after
the adoption of the address and resolu
fl mis this morning, desired to adjourn
fine dir, but this has strongly opposed
by the Southern men. and it was
finally agreed that the minority should
make their report to-morrow in favor
of negro suffrage, and that it be taken
ns part of the regular proceedings of
the Convention.
The Pbilnilclphin Fizzle.
A gentleman who was iu Philadel
phia at the Disloyal Miscegiuation pow
wow, on Monday, says that it was in
all respects a failure. There was no
enthusiasm, no harmony, no policy, no
nothing, but a promiscuous crowd of
fanatics and free negroes, with here
and there a third-rate political hack
as fugleman. Our informant heard
the leading spirits of the Convention
©xpress great mortification at the
result of the demonstration, and he
thinks it will confirm and strengthen
the influence extended by the Phila
delphia Convention. He thinks there
is a ground .swell springing up all ov
er the North, which in due time will
drown out the Radicals and sweep
them from power.

Ni iga r a Palls, but no formalities were

The President, in company with Sec
retary Sowar 1 and Welles, spent some
time on the American side of the Falls,
and afterwards went as far as the Sus
pension Bridge, but did not cross over
it. The President is suffering from
hoarseness, owing to frequent and long
speaking. but in other respects, is in

By reference to the notice given in ano- I

Atlantic n Gulf Railroad, it will be seen,
that all freight coming from or destined to j
points vest of the Ochlockonee river, will ‘
he carried over the road to and from Sa- j
vannalt, at a reduction of Twenty-fiva per 1
cent, on the rates of transportation.
This discrimination has been made by
the Atlantic & Gulf Railroad Company, for j
the purpose of making it to the interest of
the people west of the Ochlockonee, to
hip their produce over the Gulf Road to j
Savannah, nnd also as an act of justice to ;
the citizens of that section who gave their i

OI K CITY FATHERS
Have gotten into a little muss about the j
extension of Broad gtrect through the
property of T. J. Me Bain. We have not :
1 enquired into the matter, hut mndant ru
i mor hath it, that, the fathers having fully
1 determined on the extension of said street,
and made their arrangements accordingly-,
a number of citizens demurred to said ar
rangements by petition, the consideration
of which seems to have given rise to the
difficulty. What those arrangements are j
we are not fully informed, though they :
will hereafter appear in the proceedings of i
1 Council. It may not be amiss to state,
however, that our information enables us ;
to say that Arbitrators have been appoint- ,
ed to value the property of Mcßain, though j
we have not yet learned their decision. It :
was generally understood that Mcßain va
’ lued Ins property at S3OOO. Os this sum !
the citizens immediately interested agreed
I to advance $l,lOO, leaving $1,900 “to be
paid by taxation. This, the Council pro
posed to make easy by acquiring time for
the payment. But the middle and up-town
citizens, or some of them, not being able
at present to see, or determined not to see,
that the value of their property is to be in
creased by the opening up of said street,
I take decided ground against the measure,
and have petitioned Council to abandon
the project, on account of the proposed tax.
We do not mean to take either side of
the discussion, but every body knows the
t street should be opened. That end of the
’ town has been hedged up long enough ; but
if the citizens do not choose to open it, so
far as we are concerned, they may let it
remain so. We would respectfully advise,
however, that all ill feelings on the subject
be avoided, and in harmony let all parties
dispose of the matter, as best becomes
Christian neighbors, and the interests of
the whole community. When this is clone,
whatever measure is adopted in regard to
j the matter will be right ,

REfEPTIOX OF THE PR ESI- .
HEM IX XFAV YORK.
The Northern papers give the most glow
ing accounts of the reception of the Tresi
’ dent in New York City, and all agree that
it was the greatest, and most expensive
j ovation ever given by that city to any pub
lic functionary. The greatest enthusiasm
seems to have pervaded all ranks, while
capital and labor united to make the sce
nery as costly and imposing as possible.
The President and his whole party were
! highly gratified at this great demonstra
tion of support to the Administration by
the people, and in the President’s reply to
the Mayor, he speaks with a firmness and
vigor, of carrying out his policy which in
dicate an inward confidence of the support
of the masses of the people. That day iu
New York was a proud day for President
Johnson. Not like a General on his way
to the battle field, but like the hero of a
glorious victory already won he enters
New York as a conqueror, and hundreds
of thousands rend the air with shouts of
welcome, while, his enemies, the Radicals,
overwhelmed and borne down by the great
outburst” of patriotic enthusiasm, seem
ashamed or afraid to raise their voices.
The entire trip of the President, at even
village, town and city, was o’ueered with
the* same enthusiastic demonstrations.—
: 1 his tour of the President is said to have
1 been a “ flank movement” against the “so
called” piebald, onO'-union, negro equality
Radical Convention at Philadelphia. If
so. it was a masterly conception, and most
successfully has it been executed. The
President seems to be a regular political
Stonewall Jackson, for he is most assuredly
in the enemy’s rear, and truly, may the
Radicals tremble nnd exclaim, “all men
have gone after him ”

with a now editor in the person of Capt.

has taken up the “ grey gocse quill ” in
good earnest, and means to test the mat
ter whether earnest devotion to the public
good wilLbe'rewarded proportionally with
the services rendered. The editor promi
se to improve his paper until it will com
pare favorably with the best papers in the

greatly recommend the paper to the citi

RCri DIATIOX OF DEBTS,
In the Southern Recorder of the 4th inst.,
we find an able argument of Judge Reese
on this subject, in his charge to the Grand
Jury of Baldwin County. Judge Reese
does not approve of repudiation, but believ
ing that Congress will pass a general bank
rupt law, he advises Debtor and Creditor
to meet at once and adjust the indebted
ness between them by “ compounding .”
This course he holds to be due to both par
ties, in view of the great losses sustained i
by the country, and earnestly advises par
ties to adopt it.
The citizens in the upper portion of the
State have much less ability to pay their
debts than those of our own secrion, be
cause the conflicting armies during the
war destroyed their substance. We were
much more fortunate, and suffered only
the loss of our slaves. The question then,
j of the payment of their debts, with our
more Northern neighbors, is a serious one.
The stay law passed by the last Legisla
ture was not sufficient for them, because i
to say nothing of the loss of property by
’ the war, the scarcity, or unsteadiness of
labor, they have made very poor crops and
find themselves unable to pay even the
one-fourth to which their debts were reduc
ed, for the present year, by the Legisla-
I ture. These things have of late been ex
i ercising their minds, and casting about for
j relief, some have concluded that repudia
! tion is the only remedy. But the wisest
and be t men of the country advise against
it, even were it practicable, on account of
i its immoral tendencies, as well as injustice j
to creditors, and advise a middle ground
of mutual accommodation by compounding
the matters of Debtor and Creditor, with- (
’ out a resort to bankrupt laws. This seems
I to us also, to be the proper course for bon- j
est Christian men, where they are not able j
to discharge the whole of their indebted
ness. Some men, we know, would like to
hear of the passage of a bankrupt law, who 1
have the means, perhaps, to pay their
debts, because they believe they could
evade the law with their property, and |
also escape the payment of just debts ; but
such men are not the good men of the coun
try, and we feel thankful that they are
not. But let them remember one thing
before they call for .a bankrupt law. Be- j
! fore any man can take the henefit of'a 1
.bankrupt law. he i? obliged to make an as
signment ‘of all his property under, .a so
lemn oath'. Are you “prepared to do it ? Is
there a man in all this country who is able
to pay his ilebts, and'yet willing so set his
hand to the bankrupt oath? We treat
not. Let Congress then pass Bankrupt
laws, to be followed by the State Legisla- !
ture as soon as it pleases—we shall have
j one Comfort. That bankrupt laws are use- i
less to honest men able to pay their debts.
Far be it from us, however, to deprive bon- 1
est insolvents of the benefit of such relief as
; bankrupt laws afford, for there may be
some, and doubtless, are, who, witli all
their good will, industry and tact, find it
’ impossible to extricate themselves” from a
burden of debts, which, in the hands of-a .
relentless creditor, -a “ pound . of- flesh
creature,” threatens to crush not only
their fortunes but their spirit and man
hood also. To sucli wc would accord the
benefit of the bankrupt law.. Such credit
ors deserve to lose their money, and should
be frowned down by all classes of society.

Why this unjust discrimination towards

A l oan for tirorgin,
A special dispatch from New York,
! 31st ult , to the Augusta Chronicle,
1 states that Governor Jenkins, now in
New York, has sold five hundred
thousand dollars of Georgia State
bonds at 00 cents to the dollar. For
small amounts 91 cents were offered
but declined, they being held at 95.
The rate of interest is not named.
This negotiation is a substantial

it must be recollected that alter the

St. Johns, N. F., Sept . 2.—The

She left the cable fleet on Wednesday,
being short of coal aud provisions at

i starting for a spot one hundred miles
east of where the cable was laid last
year, all attempts to raise’ the cable in
two thousand fathoms depth having
I failed- The following diary -of events
! prior ,to securing the cable on Satur- ;
day, are interesting: ‘ |
August 12th the Great Eastern i
joined the Terrible and Talbourge, at
the rendezvous. . The Albany had
hooked the cable previous to its coming
up, and lost it with two miles of grap
pling rope. •
August 13th.—Drifting.
August 15, — Mr. Canning being
satisfied by strain on the diameter, the
cable was hooked at 1 o’clock. Every
thing was made ready to let go a large 1
buoy with a spring rope attached. ,
Aug. 16th, drifting ; Aug. 17th, at
11 o’clock (ship’s time) the cable came j
to the surface at the bow of the Great
Eastern ; but while all were congratu
i lating themselves on the great success
the cable slipped off the grapples and
disappeared. From this date up to
Wednesday evening, we were grap
pling with various success. Ou one ,
occasion, the Albany brought up two
miles of cable. The weather was very
unfavorable at the time the Terrible

The I'nilril Utatm nml Jlcxici*.
’ The current indications are unmis
| takable that it is now the fixed policy
of the Administration at Washington
to overthrow in some way the present
Government of Mexico ; and not the
least significant is the marked atten
tion shown the Mexican Minister,
Senor Romero, who represents the Re
public of Mexico in Washington. He
accompanies, by formal invitation, the ,
President in his tour to Chicago, and
on being introduced by Mr. Seward to 1
the people of Auburn, New York, the
latter said : ‘‘This is Senor Romero,
the Minister to the United States from
MeiiC6, in whose behalf, and against
the destruction of whose country, the
President of the United States has
notified all governments that inter
ventions from Europe must cease on
Ist of November next.”
If additional testimony were needed
to assure the public in regard to this
matter it could be found in the recent
remark by the New York Times (semi
official,) which runs thus : “No foreign
interference in the internal affairs of
Mexico will from any
quarter or under any pretext. The
mind of the nation is thoroughly made
up on this point. Maximilian’s empire
must stand, if it stand at all, by the free
’ will of the Mexican people —freely ex
pressed, No one dreams for a moment
that it can thus stand. It is on the
j eve of overthrow. The French troops
by whose bayonets it has been sustain
ed hitherto, are to be speedily with
drawn.”
These may be regarded as the first
positive declarations by those in au
thority that the United States is pre
pared to take a decited stand against
European American interference in
affairs. — Exchange.
The Now York Rcptiblicon* Coming
lo the IreStenl.
The Times of the 3d, says :
At all the cities and localities which
President Johnson has visited in this
State, prominent and eminent mem
bers of the Republican party have has
tened forward not only to extend a
welcome to the President, but to pub
licly express their adhesion to the lib
eral policy of which he is the repre
sentative, and of which the Philadel
phia Convention was the exponent.
In view of what we have wen in this
1 direction, from the hour the President
set foot in this city on Wednesday
last np to his arrival nt. Niagara on
Saturday, any intelligent man ean tes
tify to the falseness of the assertion
that the policy of the I*rosident has
no supporters of consequence in the
Republican ranks, or that the Rcpbli
can support which he has is without
political significance or value. Since
the character of the Philadelphia Con
vention has come to be understood by
the people, and since the call for the
Convention of Soldiers and Sailors at
Cleveland, who sustain the Philadel
phia movement, was issued, the De
structives have been compelled to stop
denouncing as “ traitors r and “ Cop
perheads ” all who adhere to the policy
of President Johnson.
Th<- Radical Con rent ion.
Philadelphia, Sept. 3- -The Un

their rooms to independence Square,
where delegates to the Convention
un'ted with them, and all proceeded
to National Hall. Geu. Butler, Fred
Pougiass and Brownlow were received
with cheers at National Guard’s Hall.
Before the meeting of the Convention
Chas. Gibbon received the Southern
delegation, and Hamilton, of Texas,
reponded, at the conclusion of which
someone in the crowd called few three
groans for the dead dog of the White
House, which was followed by a pret
ty general bovineous exclamation.—
Oa the opening of the Convention,
which was very largely attended—
four-fifth from the North — Thomas J.
Durant, of New Orleans, was chosen
Temporary Chairman, and a commit
tee was appointed. After which the
Convention adjourned until to-morrow.
The City Council, by formal resolu
tion, welcomed delegates to the city,
and extended to them the hospitality
thereof. • ‘ .
.SPECIAL YOTICEsT
we bad the pleasure of a
visit from Mr. Thomas, of the enterprising,
go ahead firm of A. Rkscher & Cos., Sa
vannah, Georgia, wholesale dealers in Dry
Goods. Mr Thomas informs us that their
stock is now Complete in every variety of
Domestic, arid Foreign Goods for the Spring
Trade, suitable to this market —being ex
pressly selected for the same—also, a full
line of Cloaks, Saeques, Basques, Shawls,-
. Hosiery, Gloves, &c. “A friend in need
is a friend indeed,” and we strongly re
commend our friends, Merchants, Planters
and others, requiring Dry Goods, to-call
at 13 Barnard Street, corner of Congress
Lane, and examine their slock aud prices
before purchasing, which -we have no doubt
will prove satisfactory to aU. Make a note

• Nasby’s Assertion
that the latter.A. J. is exactly similar With the
previous A. J-, forasmuch as the previous A. J.
had a policy which he carried it out; and that
the latter A. J. had also a policy, which he
carried it not out struck us -(with a shillalah)
as being as profonnd and metaphysical as if
one should say that “ SPOO NCR’S anti Fe

The Public Buildings need general repair,
and that immediately, for every day but makes
j their condition worse. We regret that the
proper officials have not heeded the General
Presentments of the Grand Jurors for the Su
perior Court, at the June Term, 18tk>, in regard
j to this matter.
It is no credit to a County to have a Jail that
will not holdcriminalscommitted to its vaults,
1 and a Court House, the wood work of which
is decayed and barely hanging together, and
whose basement passages are a general ren
dezvous for goats, &c. In the name of tire
citizens of our enlightened County, let these
matters be properly adjusted.
The County Treasury is, in a word, empty,
and we would respectfully urge upon the Jus
tices of the Inferior Court’ the propriety of im
mediately issuing County Scrip to the amount,
of ten or”fifteen t housand dollars to supply ‘our
present exigencies. We would recommend
that the notes be of small denominations, with |
the face drawing the largest interest allowed j
by law.
The Poor School Fund is exhausted, with
several hundred dollars indebtedness, on this
score, on the part of the County- This mat
-1 ter, especially the settlement of the outstand
ing debt, should lie attended to at once. It is |
1 of vital importance to our social and political
\ prosperity that the poor, as well as the weal
j thv should be educated.
The Roads and Bridges throughout the
Conntv are miserable, really a set of traps and
i pitfalls. If it be really true that “ the roads
of a country are the indices of the enlighten
ment of its citizens,” strangers can entertain no
enviable opinion of Thomas County in this
I respect. We call upon the Commissioners,for
the sake of public pride, not to speak of indi
! vidual safety., to do their duty, tnat they may
receive the grateful thanks of an appreciative
public.
Something too ought to be done for the indi
gent of the Conntv, It is a poor 1 eward for
the widows and orphans of men who have
died defending our nonor, to be allowed to
pass their days of toil and misery in a state of
comparative starvation, because forsooth the
County is poor. A l>are mite from each of us,
who waste every day more than these unfor
tunates see in two days, would drive gaunt
famine from their lowly doors, and bring glad
ness to our starving fellow creatures, who in
their husbands and fathers, have lost their all
in the cause of our country Let us 4 ‘ remem
ber the poor.”
We offer our thanks to Capt. O’Neill of the
Freedman's Bureau, for the consideration he
has evinced in his disposition to allow the
civil law to adjust differences between the
whites and blacks in our Conntv- Such con
duct on the part of Government, officials, will
go a great way towards bringing about a good
state of feeling between classes which have
no real cause for difficulties, none, in fact, ex
cept such as exist in the brain of selfish and
wicked lanatics, who are dignified with the
name of men, and honored with positions in
the Government, and w’ho dishonor the posi
tions they hold.
We have been unprejudiced in the investi
gation of all matters that have come before us.
acting in a maimer strictly regardless of social
status: and we feel satisfied that onr sneces
son* will act in such a manner as will tend yet
further to establish the fact, that the freedinan
will be treated fairly in our hands, and the
fnll fbrrr and dignity “of the laws of our State
in no wise impaired.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Yonng,
we return our thanks forthe uniform kindness
and civility he has extended towards us, and
the efficient manner in which he has discharg
od the duties of his responsible position Uu
der his mild, but just and firm administration,
the Countv Court has* been, as it should be, the
instrument of pnblic welfare, the righter of
wrongs, and “ the terror of evil doers.
To the County Solicitor. Capt- Harris, we
return thanks for courtesies done this body,
and compliment him, and commend hint to the
public for bis honest and untiring efforts in the
discharge of his duties
