t4*o! hilom< of fNr Ra.licnl 4 0 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.

Bry.v.v, Editor Southern Enterprise, Thomasville, Ga. Dear Sir: —Please state for the benefit of the people generally, that all Cotton shipped on the Atlantic & Golf Kail Road, can come directly to JSavannah without be ing weighed, assessed, marked and branded ALEX. X. WILSON, Collector. NEWSPAPER BORROWERS. The attention of Post Wasters and news paper borrowers, are directed to the com munication, in another column, over the signature of “ Subscriber Since the war the complaints of subscribers, that they could not get their papers, have been in numerable. “ Subscriber ” is correct when he says, it is not our fault, for we make up the mails with our own hands, and we do know that every subscriber is carefully and faithfully served. We hope the com munication of ■“ Subscriber ” may cure the evil, and turn ail newspaper borrowers into subscribers. —-** ■ ‘ ■ 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.— Louisville Courier. - ——* -• • ■ NEW BOOKS. Mildred’s Wedding .•—A family history, by Francis Derrick, Bvo. 180 pp.—Price 75 cents. This work lias been laid upon our table by Messrs, r.evill & W ragg. Booksellers, Stationers, Dealers in Music, &c., Thom as ville, Ga. Mildred’s W eddixg, says the advertise ment, “is a reprint of an English novel, resembling the novels of Wilkie Collins in its ingenious mystery and absorbing com plexity of plot,’ —and we could write no better recommendation of it than that fur nished by the London Athenaeum , which says:— “Mildred's Wedding is a book (whatever else may be said of it,) nobody who has once begun can contentedly lay aside till he has finished it. It amuses and enthralls from beginning to end.” | FOR THE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.] 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. [for THE SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.] “QI EW DEI'S Vri.T PERDERE, PBIIS DEMENTAT.” Ilark ! from the regions ot the dismal North, A cry of triumph fiercely issues forth, And startled nations hear a fearful sound That tin ills the earth to earth’s remotest bound- A sound more dreadful than the sullen roar That earthquakes roll along the resounding shore ; Appalling more titan all the din of waves I W hen ocean, tempest tossed, in senseless fury raves. That sound of terror is a cry of joy • Ihit jov more savage in its tiend like tone, Than ell the clamors hatred could employ ; 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 hurled. Had burst their bounds, exulting seize the sword And spread wild havoc o’er a trembling world. A million tongues proclaim a nation’s voice ; It calls aloud and bids the earth rejoice 1 Rejoice! for liight has drooped her stately head. And Wrong advances high her haughty crest. While hloodvCrime mid lields of human dead, l>olh point a sword at Virtue's naked breast ! The South lies low by Northern hordes oppreet! Rejoice ye me*, though Angels weep instead. Proceedings oi’ Council. council. 1:00 th Thomasville, Sept. 17, 1860. Council met this day in regular meeting. Present his Honor P. McGlashan, Mayor. Aldermen Stegall. Bower, Stark and Tooke. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. His Honor the Mayor presented a report from Major Maxwell, Surveyor, accompa nied with a plan for laying off the new Cemetery. On motion, the plan presented was adop ted, and Major Maxwell requested to run it out accordingly, and also to classifv the lots. His Honor also submitted a plan of the town from the pencil of Major Maxwell. Laid on the table for further considera tion. His Honor made a verbal communication to Council, detailing the facts in regard to the arbitration of the Mcßain property. Upon consideration and consultation it was moved and carried, that the arbitra tion respecting the right of way of one hundred feet, in extension of Broad Street through the premises of T. J. Mcßain, be re-snbmitted to the arbitrators, for want of formality in the preceding arbitration. On motion, it was moved and cartied, that the 19th rule of the Rules and Regu lations for the government of Council, read as follows: That when exceptions are taken to the course of the Mayor in his official action, by any member of the Council, sueh excep tions shall form the subject of complaint at a regular meeting of the same, but shall in no case justify any interference with, or obstruction of, the Mayor while in pursu ance of said duties. Alderman Stark applied for and. ob tained leave of absence for a few weeks. His Honor the Mayor gave notice of his intention to move Council for the extension of the Frre District.

The Herald's Canada correspondent says there is no abatement in the ex citement concerning the Fenians. It is also said that the Canadians are or ganizing in squads to make raids upon the American border towns, in revenge for Fenian raids upon Canada. The World makes the exciting announcement that four regiments of negroes are beiDg organized in this city, and that African loyal leagues are organizing and armed in every ward. The Soldiers are being instruct ed in drill, &c., by Colonel liawkens. The World asks, ’ “Are we to liave another San Domingo?” The Heralds City of Mexico cor respondent of the Ist inst. says : “The crisis of the empire has evidently al ready arrived, judging from the tone of the French and Mexican Imperial press, and the combined movement of tho liberals lor an attack upon the very seat of Maximilian’s power.’ The Imperialists now look imploringly to the United States to take charge ot the destinies of the nation. Guayamas, Mazatlan and San Luis Potosi are re ported evacuated by the French. Mar shall Bazaine is reported to be in the city of Mexico. 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. ficn. Krant nnil the lindirah. . . 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. New York Auz. 27.—-The Post says the dinner to the President’s par ty at lleltronico’s last night was the most elegant and expensive affair of the kind ever enjoyed by so large a party in this oountry. Dinner tor two hundred and fifty was ordered, and the cost was $25,000, or one hundred dollars for each plate. There were eight different varieties of wines cost ing from ten to twenty dollars per bot tle. - The Shipment of arm& to the South. —Heretofore special permits have been required for the shipment of arms and amunition to the South, but by a special order of the Treasury Depart ment. dated on August 21st, the vari ous collectors of customs have been instructed that permits for these ship ments are no longer required. The trade in arms and amunition will there fore be hereafter without any restric tion. Kn. Ur. Tl“t * U>t Tutou —lit Au ilorr Mir. BfffKrr. When Mr. Beecher declined the invitation to take part in the proceed ings of the Soldiers’ Union Conven tion at Cleveland, on the 1 i th instant Rev. Dr. Tyng was invited to act in his stead. Dr. Tyng was firm and zealous iu support of the U nion cause during .the war. and his utterances now, in behalf of conciliation, posses ses a deep interest and significance. He says : St. George’s Rectory, ) Sept. 6, 1866. j 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. Your friend and servant, ! With much regard, Stephen H. Tyng. ‘Flic IV. Y. Ilrr-ald Rousht up by tlir Radical*. Washington, Sept. 14. —The N’. Y. Herald, which has hitherto firmly supported the President, in to-day’s issue, pronounces his plan of restora tion a failure, and moreover says his generous actions to Ihc late revolted States have been accepted by that peo ple as conveying a license for sanguina ry outrage against the poor negroes and abolition’ Yankees, and the ground-swell which commenced in Maine will sweep the whole country, as against the President’s policy. -■■♦► *: : ‘ 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. Important to Liquor Dealers. —jt is not generally known that the Act of Congress, approved July Ist, 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. - - ■ • ♦-' ■ New York, September 14—The Tribune's Augusta (Me,) special says : The victory iu this State to-day. for the Union party is unparalleled. .
