That hoary old apostate and rtpro hate, Parson Brown low, is at the head of a delesrntioo ©f Te nnessee Loyalists. 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.

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. The rrr.iilrntinl Tonr. Buffalo, Stpt. B.— The President and party were met to-day by a tre rueudmis crowd. Ye-terday he visited Ni iga r a Palls, but no formalities were - ‘ - rved. separate parties having been formed according to their preference. 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 go id bodily condition. The expenses of the Presidential Tour so far as transportation and hos p-uhtes are concerned, are’defrayed by committees of citizens at different I places voluntarily. Southern (t liter]) rise L.

Especial at ten'ion is directed to the new advertisement of Messrs. J. Schiff & Bro. who are now reciving their new and ele gant stock of fall and winter Goods. Their name is becoming proverbial for fine se lections of goods of every denomination, and those who wish first choice must has ten to call before the goods have been pick ed over. RFRITTIOY OF RAILROAD FREIGHT. By reference to the notice given in ano- I ther place, by the Superintendent of the 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 aid and support to the road, but have not \ yet been able to reap any of its benefits. • 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 , —i 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 ” ’ LAKE (ITV PRESS. The last number of this well conducted journal comes to us much enlarged, and with a now editor in the person of Capt. E. W. Davis, formerly of Savannah, but more recently of Thomasville. Through his Salutatory we learn that the Captain 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 State, and this, with ability in the edito rial department, we have no doubt, will greatly recommend the paper to the citi zens of East Florida, and handsomely re ward the efforts of its conductor. We hope his suocess may surpass his most san guine expectations. A PRIVTER HARRIED. The following notice accompanied by the printers fee. was handed us on Monday last by the happy bridegroom himself: “On the sth inst., at the residence of the bride’s fiat her. near Chattanooga, Tenn., by the Rev. A. D. Stewart. Mr.J. C. Moore of Lake City, Fla., to Miss Cynthia. M. McFarland, of Walker founty, Ga.” Mr. Moore was recently connected with the Lake City (Fla.i Press, but by the last number of that paper, we learn that he has ; sold out nnd now betaken himself to matri mony. Well, he is a clever fellow, and we wish him and bis bride all the happiness 1 they anticipate, • _ — Read the new Advertisements in this * issue- 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. ■ ■- JIATRIVIOXIAI-. By reference to the following notice it will be seen by his friends in this section that, Air. N. Wolff, of the firm of H. Wolff & Bro. of Thomasville, has lately entered the happy estate of matrimony. He has been on a visit to Europe, and on his re turn home thinks it profitable and conve nient to halt a few days at the metropolis and take a fair bride to soften his cares in a Southern land.

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 and gratfying attestation of the high credit of Georgia. \Ye suppose that the collection of the State tax will now be forbidden. j ifSoosl \rw from Ihc Cable of “<•.

The weather was very unfavorable at the time the Terrible left. ■ ■ ■ - . - ■+ ♦ ——■ 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.

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.
