Mr Hamilton, of Texas from the
Committee on Resolutions, reported
the foOovriug which wore unanimously
adopted:
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That tP.£ loyal peoplo of
the North in thnnk-cnvmgto Almighty
God, through whose will a rebellion
unparalleled for its causelessness, its
cruelty an 1 its criminality, ha= been
overruled to the vindication of the
supremacy of the Federal Constitution
over every £ute and Territory ot the
Republic.
/.’•••* That wc demand now a
we have demanded at all times since
the cessation of hostilities, the restora
tion of the States in which we live, 1
to their old relations with the Union,
on the simplest and fairest conditions !
consistent with the protection of our :
lives, property and political rights, now ‘
in jeopardy from the unqucnched en
mity of rebels lately in arras.
Restored, That the unhappy policy
of Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States, is, in its effect upon the
loyal people of the South, unjust, op
pressive and intolerable, and accor
dingly, however ardently wc desire to j
see our respective States once more
represented in the Congress of the j
nation, we would deplore their restora
tion on the inadequate condition pre
scribed by the President, as tending
not to abate, but only to magnify the {
peril* and sorrows of our condition. j
Rriofr-'.d, That, the welcome we have j
received from the loyal citizens of !
Philadelphia under the roof of the 1
time-honored Hull in which the De
claration of Independence was adojt
ed, inspires u> :i in animating hope :
that the principles ol iu-t and equal 1
government which were nude the
„ . .. ... . . .4
foundation of the Republic at its ori
gin -hall become the corner stone of
the Constitution.
Resolved, That with pride in the j
patriotism ot the Congress, with grat
itude for the fearless and persistent [
support they have given to the cause I
of loyalty, and their efforts to restore
all the States to their former condition
as States in the American Union, we 1
will stand by the positions taken by
them, and use all means consistent with
a peaceful and lawful course to secure
the ratification of the amendments to !
the Constitution of the United States j
•is proposed by Congress at its recent
session, and regret that the Congress i
in its wisdom did not provide by law j
for the greater security of the loyal
people in the States, not yet admitted
to representation.
11 - •and, That the political power
of the Government of the United
States in the administration of public
affairs, is by its Constitution confined
to the popular or law-making depart
ment of the Government.
Resolved, That the political status of
the States lately in rebellion to the
United States government, and the
rights of the people ol such States are
political questions, and arc ciearly with
in the control of Congress, to the ex
clusion of and independent of any and
. very other department oi the Gov
ernment.
Resolrcd, That there is no right,
political, legal or constitutional in any
State to secede or withdraw from the
l nion, but they may by wicked and
unauthorized revolutions and force sev,
or the relations which they have sus
tained to the Union, and when they do
they assume the attitude of public en
emies at war with the United States ;
thev subject themselves to all the rules
and principles of international law,
and the laws ot war applicable to bel
ligerents according to modern usage.
R>'s<‘/red, That we are unalterably
in favor of the l nion of the States, and
earnestly desire the legal and speady
restoration of all the States to their
proper places in the l nion. and the
establishment in each of them of influ
ence of patriotism and justice, by which
the whole nation shall be combined to
carry forward triumphantly the prin
ciples of freedom and progress, until
all men of all races shall, ever} where
beneath the flag of our country, have
accorded to them freely, all that their
virtues, industry, intelligence and en
ergy may entitle them to attain.
RfJtolred, T hat the organization in
the unrepresented States assuming to
be State Governments, not having
been legally established, are not legiti
mate Governments until recognized by
Congress.
R \*nleed, That we cherish with ten
der hearts the memory ot the virtues,
patriotism, sublime faith, upright
Ghr'stian life and generous nature of
the martyr President, A Lincoln.
That wc arc in favor of
universal liberty the world over, and
feel the deepest sympathy with the
oppressed people of all countries in
their struggle for freedom, and the in
herent right of all men to decide and
control for themselves the character of
the Government under which they
live.
Repaired, That the lasting gratis
tude of the nation is due the men who
bore the battle, aud in covering them
selves with imperishable glory have
saved to the world its hope of free
Government, and relying on the ‘‘ in
vincible soldiers and sailors” who
made the grand army and navy ol the
Republic to be true to the principles
for which they fought, we pledge
them that we will stand by them in
maintaining the honor due the savi
ours of the nation, and in securing the
fruits of their victories.
R>solred, That remembering with
profound gratitude and love the pre.
cepts of Washington, we should accus
tom ourselves to consider the Union
as the primary object of patriotic des
ire. which has heretofore sustained us
with great power in our love of the
Union. When so many of oar ne:gh
bor? in the South were waging war
for its destruction, our an ’ abid-
iii_r iv: ;• the torm.tr. of the Father
of His Country and for the Union Is
more deeply engraven upon our hearts
than ever.

IMPORTANT TO TAX PAYERS,
It may not be generally understood
among Executors, Administrators and oth
ers, having the management of Estates,
that there is an Internal Revenue Tax due
upon all estates and legacies since July
ISG2. Some of these estates have been
settled, or distributed, but the tax is still
due by all persons who have come into
possession of legacies since that period.
In case no returns are made of these lega
cies to the District Internal Revenue Tax
Assessor, the law requires the Assessor to
make his assessment, upon the returns of
said estate or legacies, as they appear in
the Ordinary’s office. Now, it is well
known, that the returns of many of these
estates were made upon negro property,
and the assets enormously swelled by be
ing valued in Confederate currency ; should
the Assessor therefore be compelled to re
sort to these returns to make his assess
ments, great injustice would be done both
| the estates and their managers or legatees.
To avoid this the Assistant Internal Reve
nue Tax Assessor for this District, Dr. T.
S. Hopkins, desires all parties concerned
to make their returns to him without de
lay.
hi vrv ward m:mint
We have copied on our first page the
eminently patriotic and conservative letter
of Henry Ward Beecher, in reply to an in
vilation to become the Chaplain of the Sol
diers Convention to meet at Cleveland,
Ohio. The patriotic and conservative men
every where, hailed with joy the advent of
this letter from so distinguished a source,
and from the very core of Radicalism,
while the Radicals themselves were amazed
that one so powerful, and seemingly so de
voted to their cause, should thus desert
them in the hour of peril. Mr. Beecher’s
congregation, however, became incensed
against him, for the sentiments promulga
ted in this letter, and he has subsequently
written another letter iu which he inglori
ously retreats from his held, patriotic po
sition. We had always regarded Beecher
as a pulpit demagogue, but were willing
upon the publication of this letter, to be
lieve ourself deceived. At length, how
ever, he has resumed his true colors, and
his last letter proves, that with all his re
cent show of love for his country, he loves
praise and salary better. How few there
are, even among the great, who will sacri
fice self for pure disinterested truth

VBGI.TVC IV THE NORTH TO.
WARD THE SOUTH.
A Northern correspondent of the Augus
ta Chromefo ft Smtincl. who has lately tra
i veiled from Illinois to Massachusetts, was
, present at the Philadelphia Conservative
Convention, and many other political gath
erings of the Northern people, lately held,
now writing from Springfield, Mass., after
describing the bitterness of feeling between
the parties North, says :
“ There is among all parties, both Radi
cal. Conservative and Democrat, a growing
confidence in the future of the South.
Many, very many tradesmen and artizans,
are enquiring as to the cost of land, pros
pects for trade, cost of manufacturing sites.
Ac.. Ac. The decided rise in Southern se
curities, is another marked indication—
occurring too. among capitalists, prover
bial for timidity, is too significant to be
overlooked. The new loan effected by Gov.
Jenkins has been freely discussed. It was
asserted freely in Wall street, that Gov.
Jenkins made no public offer of this loan ;
but having fixed the minimum price of
half a million at 90, it was taken before
the public knew much about it. Subse
i quemly offers were made for the second
i half million at 91 and 93£, but were re
j jectei, 9 o being the minimum fixed by the
Governor.
tine of the largest capitalists of N. York
remarked in my hearing, a day or two
since, that, within the next five years, the
whole debt of ihe State of Georgia would
be taken up by its own citizens, if the pol
icy which exists now. and has heretofore
existed continues to be enforced. There
ha? been some large sales of lands in South
western Georgia, to English and Boston
capitalists, within the past few days.—
Again, there has been quite an excitement
about gold and iron mines. As to iron,
two Northern companies are running ex
tensive rolling mills near Chattanooga,
and it is said that twenty-seven furnaces
for making pig iron have been erected,
i chiefly bv Northern capital, in Northwest
ern Georgia, during the past six months.
Several gold mines on the Chestatee have
changed hands, at prices not made public.
A mine near Dahlonega, known in Geor
-1 as the Stephenson mine, it is said, was
bought, by a New York company for $250,-
1 000 in currency; and subsequently resold
for £400,000 to & Boston company, the
explorations made under the direction of
a Boston engineer having disclosed a much
richer vein than was anticipated. Large
quantities of machinery are being manu
factured and shipped South daily to work
these mines.’’
CINCINNATI IJISILTS THE
IfATTOX.
Cincinnati, which stretches out her hands
so imploringly for Southern trade, and
professes such devotion to the Union and
friendship for the South, when she can see
a dollar in the distance, has shown her
hand, and refuses to receive the President
because he will not permit the Jacobin
Congress to trample that devoted and down
trodden people under foot; insults them
through the executive of the nation, and
outrages decency to show her hate and de
testation cf Southern men. We call the
attention of our Southern readers, and es
pecially of Southern merchants, to this dis
play of feeling against them by the autho
rities of Cincinnati. Many Southern mer
chants have been rushing madly through
Louisville to Cincinnati to buy their goods,
nnder the mistaken idea that they can there
find more full assortments and lower pri
ces, without stopping to inquire whether
they cannot do as well or better here ; and
thus encourage a set of Jacobin harpies
who are their friends only so long as they
believe they have greenbacks in their
pockets. We tell these Soutnern merchants
that they do themselves great wrong in
thus building up and strengthening people
who do not hesitate to declare themselves
their enemies, and by going out of iheir
way to lavish their money upon them.—

Mildred’s W eddixg, says the advertise

better recommendation of it than that fur

says:— “Mildred's Wedding is a book

who has once begun can contentedly lay
aside till he has finished it. It amuses
and enthralls from beginning to end.”

Lovxdes County, Sept. 14, 1806.
Dear Editor: —You will remember that
at the June Term of Loundes Superior
Court, 1800, T subscribed and paid for the
“ Southern Enterprise to be sent in single
envelope to my address at Valdosta, Ga.
Since that time, a lapse of full four months,
1 have received about a half dozen numbers
of your paper, all or nearly all of which
was minus the wrapper. Now, friend
Lucius, I know the fault is not yours. I
have known you too long, and have had
good causeNo appreciate your promptness
and energy as an Editor, to suppose for
one moment, that it was owing in the least
degree to any neglect of yours. But then
you say, how is it that my paper fails to
reach me ? You know, as well as I do,
that there is a class of men to be found in
all localities that manage to read the pa
pers, and keep themselves pretty well
posted on the news of the day, that never
or seldom subscribe fora paper themselves
—they are dependent on others, and our
Post Masters are generally such clever,
accommodating gentlemen, that they seL
dom refuse to loan to one of these reading
gentry, the paper of a subscriber who lives
as far from the Post Office as I do, and
very often these loaned papers are de
stroyed, lost, or so defaced by improper
handling, that they are never returned to
the Post Office, and the subscriber is thus
made to suffer for the kindness and polite
ness of the Post Master towards these read
ing gentlemen, who seldom patronize any
paper whatever. Any peson can tell as
soon as he looks at his paper, if it has been
read by others before he receives it, Now,
would it not be best for Post Masters to re
fuse to lend the papers of regular subscri
bers from the office, ami insist on it, that
it is the duty of every man who wants to
read the news of the day to patronize the
Editors, SUBSCRIBED.

The maniac’s laugh more fearful than hisgroan;
As though the fierce and dark rebellious horde
That people Hell by God’s treat hand down

And spread wild havoc o’er a trembling world.
A million tongues proclaim a nation’s voice ;

A Conrlnrr of Twenty IJoTertinr*.
A secret caucus of twenty Gover
nors and Lieut. Governors of radical
States was held in Philadelphia during
the session of the Radical Convention.
The Herald charges it with revolu
tiomry purposes. It is understood,
says that paper, that a revolutionary
programme was entertained looking
to futuic political contingencies—that
is, to prepare arms and efficient armed
State organizations for a conflict with
the Conservatives, and possibly with
the President in the event ot the Radi
cals being in danger of losing their
power through the result of the fall
elections. It is evident that these
really dangerous leaders of a danger
ous party are determined to hold on
to their power at all hazards ; for, as
Governor Cony, ot Maine, said if they
lose it now. “then all is lost.” They
are doubtless prepared to impeach and
remove the President, and to place
Ben Wade or some other violent Ja
cobin in his place, and would resist the
legitimate power of the Executive to
the extent of calling ont the militia of
the States. The secret and th:eaten
. ing attitude of these Governors is the
counterpart of the Governors of the
rebel States when they seceded and
made war on the Union.
The Kml of .'Vlnximilmu.
The Independence Beige , a w’ell-in
formed journal; thus announces the
failure of the Archduchess Carlotta’s
negotiations with Napoleon : “The
Empress Carlotta has paid her last vis
it to the Emperor, and there is- no
longer the slightest doubt that his
Majesty announced to that princess,
with extreme regret, his irrevocable
resolution not to subscribe to any ot
the arrangements which she had come
to propose as the means of aiding the
dynasty in Mexico, It is now certain
that tho Empress of Mexico will not
again return to that country, and that
the Lmperor Maximilian will soon
join her iu Europe after having abdi
cated.”
Without moral support, without
money or troops surrounded by ene
mies, and forsaken by his friends, the
French, Maximilian has nothing to do
but get out of Mexico. The soonor he
goes the better it will be for him.

The Radicals have come to the con
elusion, says the New York Timex,
that Gen. Grant is not the man for
their purpose, and they are writing 61
him accordingly. His appearance
with the President on the presentation
of the National TT nion delegates shock
ed the Radical sensibilities greatly,
and his journeying with the President
is the occasion for letting loose their
pent-up-angcr. The W ashington cor
respondent of a Radical cotemporary
says of the General: “The Copper
heads have got him, and the Republi
cans have been badly sold.” “A rep
utation has been foolishly built up,”
declares the same scribbler; from
which we infer that the great soldier
of the Union is to be derided by the
Radicals as a soldier, because they
find that he is not available for their
work as a partisan. Some of the Rad
ical prints which had hoisted the name
of Grant for the Presidency have
dropped it, usually without remark ;
n other instances avowedly because
his relations with Andrew Johnson
are too friendly to be tolerated.

Gen. Charles G. Ilalpinc:
My Dear Sir ; —My home engage
ments and personal infirmities render
it impossible for me to give the time
or effort which would be involved in
the journey and duty you propose. I
should be glad to give you a different
reply if it were in my power. I have
read with great delight Mr. Beeehei’s
unanswerable letter, and desire to
thank him for the fidelity and power
with which he has accomplished so
good a work. 1 shall honor the sol
diers and sailors of the nation if they
give their cordial and united support
to the sound and healhful principles
which he proclaims and sustains, It
will be a glorious result, if the people
of the land will unite with them in the
universal determination, that unto .
liberty and generous interpretation
and action shall end all the contn
sies of the day in which we live, in t
immediate and complete reconstruct
and combined establishment of our
whole nation as one harmonious and
prosperous people.
That a conquering army should
desire this seems but accordant with
the spirit of a generous victor. That
they should assemble in a peaceful
fellowship to avow and to promote it,
is but exercising their rights as citi
zens, and fulfilling their obligations as
intelligent leaders of their fellow men ;
and that ministers of a religion of
peace and good will should sustain and
encourage a purpose and movement so
honorable to the nation, would appear
to be the plainest dictate of duty in
the position which they sustain., and
relate us to the people among whom
they dwell.
I cannot, therefore, refuse to ap
prove and indorse the meeting which
is proposed, or the platforqi on which
it avows itself to stand.

With much regard,

A Glimpse Behind the. Mask.—
The North Carolina Presbyterian says
a colored Baptist Minister at Beaufort,
South Carolina, writes to the Chris
tain Recorder ; ■’
“Some of our white ministerial
friends do more in the way of procure
ing farms and keeping our poor race in
ignorance than any thing else. They
pretend when they are North that they
would come down here and do any
thing for our race in the way of en
lightening them; but instead of this,
where they see the cotton bag. they
forget all about Christ and Him cruci
fied, and the saving of souls.” Os cer
tain Northern merchants he says : ‘All.
they wish to do is to preach what
President Lincoln has done, and pat
the colored man on the shoulder with
the left hand, while with the right
hand they catch hold of his pocket
book. And when they havo got the
last cent from him, their friendship
ceases, Then he is only a nigger.”
American and Brits.'i Incomes.
—The London Spectator, ui an elabo
rate article upon thu American income
returns, states that Mr. Alexander T.
Stewart’s return of over four millions
of dollars is probably the largest an
nual business income in the world.
It also states that if the Rothschilds,
whose wealth is more that of a family
than of individuals, are excepted, no
uncrowned person has an income ap
proaching Mr. Stewart’s. Referring to
British incomes the Spectator prin
some statistics which do not show very
well for the wealth of England. Thu
in the English returns, 3112,431 per
sons pay income tax, and the average
income of each is $1565. There arc
but 107 Englishman who return over
8250,000 a year; 1283 between $25,-
000 and 8250,000; G 27 between $20,-
000 and 825,000 ; 1438 between 815,-
000 and 820,000 ; 2204 between $lO,-
000 and $15,000 : and 7371 between
$5,000 and 810,000. From this ex
hibit it would appear that either the
wealth of England is much exagger
ated, or the wealthy classes do not
make correct returns. The publication
of the names of income tax payers in
England is prohibited.

1866, makes it incumbent on all hold
ers of spirituous liquors in quanties of
fifty gallons and over to report the fact
to the collector of the district in which
the same may be stored or owned, at
once. The neglect of this duty on the
part of such owners or holders, sub
ject the party to a heavy fine and two
years imprisonment. On being notifi
ed, the collector reports to the inspect
or who proceeds to gauge and brand
the vessels containing the liquors.
Washington, Sept. 14. —Secretarj
McCulloch lias directed the Commis
•Jotter of Internal Revenue to give
special attention to a revision of the
tariff, and report a bill for the consid
eration of Congress. It is intended to
make the customs branch of the reve
nue more simple, economical and ef
fective- The Commissioner is instruc
ted to consider a largo revenue neces
sary for the exigencies of the Govern
ment, and also to propose such modifi
cations of the present tariff as will
better adjust and equalize duties on
t reign imports with the internal tales
on home production.
Secretary McColloch suggests a re
duefion of taxation upon the raw ma
terial, and machinery of home pro
ductions.
