THE SITUATION.
The news from Washington is any
thing but encouraging. It has been
some time since we entertained a hope
of anything good from that direction,
but the prospect seems darker at this
lime, than ever before. Indeed, no
one who wishes well to his country,
can contemplate, but with feelings of
horn r, the inevitable consequences of
the legislation which is now maturing
among the radical leaders of Congress.
A few days ago, Mr. Stevens, on the
passage of a bill in the House, consign
ing the people of the South to a military
despotism, the most disgraceful of the
age, asked that he might be permitted,
without being considered out of order,
to exclaim with the gred I frrtes
••that heaven still iuled and the Gods
are above us.” Be it said to the credit
of the good Laertes he never made such
a speech on such an occasion. The
quotation however, contained much
more truth than Mr. Stevens intended
to convey. Heaven ever does, and
ever will, rule “on earth, as well as in
Heaven,” and frequently makes the
devil the instrument of his purpose.
We fear, and believe, that such is the
case to r day, with the Congress of the
United States. How otherwise shall
we account for its action ? on what
other principle can we account for its
recent legislation, all tending to make a
pyndemoneuin of the fairest portion o|
this continent ? While it is true that
Heaven still rules, we have no doubt
that the gods are above us (them). But
they are the gods of darkness, confu
sion, madness, revenge, persecution,
and folly. These are the gods that are
above him, and his fanatical comrades
in the effort which they are making, to
fasten on their country a despotism
which would have brought the blush of
Si line to a Nero or a Domitian, and
v tiich« if carried out, will soon give us
many opportunities of relieving
France from the odium of being the
only nation on earth who con boast of
a “St. Bartholomews day.”
The last news allows us to hope that
the evil day has been put off a few
weeks, and only a few weeks. There
is some confusion in the ranks of the
conspirators. There is considerable
differences of opinion aniuug those who
are of the same complexion in politics,
ami whose let lings of revenge and per
secution run in the same channel. But
it is not a confusion and difference as
to the end to be sought and the object
to be attained. It is simply a disagree
ment as to the means to be used.—
Every vote on every proposition de
monstrate their uniformity of feelings.
Substitutes and amendments do not
tn ;an putting good things for bad things
and amending that which is bad into
something better. Ruin is to be ac
complished—that is a fixed sact —but
how to do it, is the question. Each
one has his “most effectual*’ mode. —
One is quick aud powerful, sharper
than a two-edged sword. Another is
slow but sure, sparing the life o! its
victim only to prolong its torments.—
•Subordinate to this is the question of
who shall do it—tinder whose super
vision and guidance shall the grand ex
periment he inaugurated and object at
tained ? Shall it be the President or a
military satrap in brief authority?—
These are the small stumbling blocks
that lie in their way-—these are the
clogs that momentarily stop the wheel
of legislative destruction. Those who
look for out escape and ultimate salva
tion through the division of the enemy,
will certainly be disappointed. A com'
mon, overwhelming, fanatical impulse
is not the only bond of union among
these men. “The cohesive power of
public plunder” is greater now than
when the great apostle ofStates rights
pronounced it the only bond, which
held together the mongrel masses of a
great party, whose history, like that of
any dead man, may now be written
with propriety. Such being the case,
these divisions as to minor details do
not at all interfere with the certainty of
the coining of the calamity. Unfortu
nately for us in tiiis case, to be
forewarned is not to be forearmed.—
There is no escape for the enl? which
trust cou>e. There isnu way to avert
tho calamity. There i* no shelter
from the storm. It must empty the
vi„!s of its wrath upon us. There is
hut one party to the business—no com
promise betwei n destruction and mod
urate castigation. Pledges, promises,
and oaths avail us nothing. Silence
is construed into stubbornness—argu”
incut into impudence—reason into pre
sumption— thrift into crime and even
nllicious loyalty into covert treason. —
Such is our condition and such are the
prospects of our early future.
We may be mistaken, hut in our fa
ble judgement these measures will fall
hardest and weigh heaviest on the very
classes Ibr whose benefit they are as
sumed to be undertaken. It is useless
to say w hat classes these are. They
do not constitute* and never will and
never can constitute the ruling element
of the country for any length of time.
The veiy inception of the measures
proposed, will paralize every thing.—
Every branch of industry will dry up —
every source of capital will cease —ev-
ery trade and profession will languish
and die. The farmer must retire from
his fieids, the mechanic from his work
shop, the merchant from his counlirg
room, while this military reign presses
like a foul incubus on the whole coun
try. Under these circumstances while
all must suffei in common, there is lit*
tie doubt as to who shall be the great
est sufferers. The fishes intended for
their friends, w ill turn to vipers in their
hands—their bread w ill turn to stones,
and the pronounced blessing will be a
curse indeed.
This is a sad picture, but it is true
to nature —a (aim sketch of what has
always followed like measures. His
tory is constant!} repeating itself, it
is philosophy teaching by example.—
The examples are constantly recurring.
It will not s'.op with us. The child
will soon he greater than itsfather, and
will sit in judgement on him. Con
gress would be wise to look to this. —
They may in endeavoring to destroy us,
unchain a-ravemms beast that will turn
upon them rend and destroy them.
Confederate Scrip in North Car
olina.
The Legislature of North Carolina
has passed an act construing the net for
scaling debts contracted in Conlederate
currency, which provides that “the
scale of depreciation of Confederate
currency, established by the above en
titled act, shall be construed to apply
to debts therein mentioned at the date
of contracting the same, and not at the
time said debts become due.”
Pig Iron From Georgia —The Louis
ville Democrat ot the 13lh says ; Messrs
Guthrie & Cos., agents, received to*day.
from the Iron Mines at Trenton, Ga.,
their first invoice of pig iron. The iron
is said to be of excellent quallity, and
is now being tested in this city. This
is anew feature in the exports ofGeoi
gia, and promises to add greatly to her
other and numerous sources of wealth.
The Impeachment of the
.President.
The Cincinnatti Enquirer says it has
advices from the Washington that the
Radical destructives will beyond any
doubt, within ninety days, revolution
ize the Government by the forcible
desposilion and removal of the Presi
dent from office. Under this impres
sion we advise our readers and friends
to avoid the entanglement of debt and
other businesscontracts that ate depen-
state of peace and tranquillity
performance, and to keep all
sails set for an impending storm and
convulsion* A crisis is at hand, for
such a step will, beyond any doubt, cre
ate a general state of uncertainty as re
gards the future, will destroy all confi
dence in the South to meet its engage
ments, and unsettle trade and business
in every direction. The impeachment
of the President will lead to consequen
ces the most serious—consequences
that those engaged in pushing it on have
[ litte contemplated or dreamed of in any
'respect. It will open anew anil revo
j lutionary chapter in our history, when
i all the cheeks and balances of the Gov
ernment will be destroyed, and every
thing like permanency in it forever dis
appear. In its best aspect, the usurpa
tion would be dangerous to the public
peace and tranquility, and in its fruits
will be followed by results that we
ean hardly consider without a shudder.

Sheriff’s Sales. —As there is some
eomfusion on the subject, it may be
well to state that the act of the last
Legislature requires that “notices of
sheriff s sale under execution shall be
published weekly for four weeks instead
of thirty days, and for sale under mort
gage executions, weekly for eight necks
{instead of sixty days.”
To the Crippled Soldiers of
Cherokee Georgia.
i By an Act of the last Legislature an
j appropriation was made f>r your edu
cation in any School or College of this
State. This appropriation is scarcely
sufficient, but as you will see by the
extract from a letter of Du. Thomas;
Emory College proposes to receive
and educate you. This is a most ex
cellent opportunity for you to provide
yourselves with the means of useful
: ness, and of acquiring a competency
for all your future life. You will find
at Emory College, many of your old
comrades who, with the President, and
! faculty, will be in hearty sympathy
with you, and prove your fast friends
for life. If you desire further inform*
lion, visit or address me at Cartersville,
or write to l)r. Thomas at Oxford.

Education of the Indigent
Itlaimed Soldiers. f
The following circular has been issued
by his Excellency, Governor Jenkins:
Executive Department, )
Milledgeville, Ga Jan 22 1867 j
To the University of the State ot
Georgia, to Mercer University, to
Oglethorpe University, to Emory
College, and to Bo wden College,
Explanatory of “An Act 10 Educate
the indigent maimed soldiers of Geor
gia, and to provide means for the
same.”
Approved 18th December, 1866.
While tlie said Act is not consider
ed obligatory on the Universities and
Colleges named in it, compliance with
its provisions will be regaaded as an
honorable participation in a noble char
ity, and a graceful token of gratitude
lor patriotic services rendered, at the
cost of irreparable sacrifices.
In response to the numerous inqui
ries touching the construction given to
this Act, and the manner in which it
will be executed, the following regula
tions are adopted, subject to such
modifications as experience may sug
gest.
1. The Act is held applicable to per
sons who, by wounds received in the
late war, have lost such use of a limb
or limbs, as is essential to the'perfoim
anee of physical labor, as well as to
those who have suffered amputation.
2. All soldiers thus maimed in the
late war, who entered the service from
this State, or permanently resided
therein at the time of entering it and
now reside therein, under thirty years
of age at the ti.me ol application, who
are unable to defray the expenses of
their education, and who are prepared
to enter upon the lowest course of in
struction imparted in said Uuiversities
and Colleges, or in preparatory schools
appurtenant thereto, will be proper
beneficiaries.
3. Certificates from respectable phy
sicians, of inability to perform physical
labor, occasioned by wounding (where
such inability is not patent); and from
Ordinaries, Court Judges* or Justices
of the Inferior Courts, upon other points,
plainly stating the facts, showing ap
plicants to be within the purview of
the Act, will be proper vouchers under
the second section.
4. Each University and College, nam
ed in the Act, will be required to make
semi-annual reports to this Depart
ment, certified by the President or
Chief Executive Officer, setting forth
the names ol beneficiaries taught dur
ing the six months immediately pre
ceding, when each was received, the
amount charged against each for tuition,
lor board, tor books, and for clothing.
Should any beneficiary voluntasilv
clothe himself, full rates of tuition and
board, and the cost of books, will nev
ertheless be allowed the Institution,
provided they do rot exceed the sum
limited in the 3d section.
5. Upon the coining in ,of these
semi-annual reports, each Institution
will receive the sum total of its certifi
ed account (not exceeding $l5O for
each beneficiary) in bonds of the State,
hearing seven per cent, interest at
their par value ; that being the only
mode of payment provided by the
General Assembly.
6. None of said Institutions will be
expected to vary the established cur
riculum of studies, either in their col
legiate or preparatory departments, but
applicants must be prepared for these,
unless voluntarily changed for their
benefit.
7. Should any beneficiary commence
his course in a preparatory school
attached to any of said Institutions, the
time spent therein, as well as in the
college, must be computed in his writ
en obligation to each, alter completing
his course; and the obligation to teach
will not be removed by his stopping
short of a full course, but will cover so
much time as actually remained and
j no more.
8. Beneficiaries under this Act will
be subject to ail disciplinary process
applicable to other students, and if
| suspended or expelled from the Insti
| tution, tuition for the term upon which
j they may have entered, the actual cost
jof clothing and books furnished, and
I board to the time of suspension or ex
j pulsion, will oe paid,
j 9. Board in vacation is not required
i to be furnished.
Lit this circular be entered on the
. Executive Journal, and be printed, and
i a copy sent to each of said Universities
j and Colleges.
Charles J. Jenkins,
Governor.
Oxford, Jan., 28th, 1867.
Please call the attention ot indigent
I maimed soldiers to the recent Act of the
Georgia Legislature, in behaH ol this
unfortunate class of young men. and to
direct their attention to Emory College.
Die amount of appropriation can,
by strict economy, be stretched over
ail the items except clothing.
If the beneficiaries will bring with
them a mattress, and bed clothing with
such other portable articles as most
may furnish we will fit up our dormi
tories and thus cheapen the board
several dollars so as to leave a small
balaxjti-e for their benefit alter the ne
cessary expenses shall have been
paid.”
Most affectionately,
your bro.,

Stand Firm.
Tire fatal objection to all tlie schemes
of reconstruction proposed or sit omit
ted tii the Southern States for their
acceptance, is that they furnish no
guarantee that to be regarded
as a finality. The Southern States are
asked to accept them, and so incorpor
ate them into their legislation as to
constitute them- binding obligations
upon themselves, without the slightest
assurance that there will be any equiv
alent therefor. It is not even promised
that the adoption of any of these
schemes will restore the Southern
Slates,to their constitutional places in
the Union. They are prostrate and
helpless; but they still enjoy sufficient
liberily of thought and action to reject
all such one-sided propositions.
The constitutional amendment, if it
had been adopted, would have disfran
chised a large portion of the Southern
people and either deprived them of
one-third of their representative power
in the nation or established negro
suffrage. Besides this, it would have
totally abolished everything like State
rights and given to Congress the pow
er of unlimited legislation for the
State.
Suppose for a moment that the
Soutti. in the apprehension of more
humiliating terms, ball promptly ratifi
ed the amendment, what would have
been their condition ? The iniquitous
provisions ol that amendment would lie
a part of the Constitution, and those
Stales would not have been advanced
one step toward the exercise of their
constitutional rights in the Union.—
They would have been as fully exposed
to Jacobin malignity and to the conse
quences of Jacobin thirst lor power as
they now are, and they would, in
addition, have been compelled to en
dure the mortification of knowing that
they had sacrificed both honor and
interest to appease the wrath and
aggressive spirit of their foes, and that
they were alter all their humiliating
concessions as much exposed to further
demands as ever.
But the Southern States having re
jected with scorn and contempt the
insulting propositions of their enemies,
are in a condition to congratulate them
selves upon their wisdom; for they
can now see that the amendment was
only intended as'a trap to swindle
them into a voluntary surrender of
their rights, and to win from them an
acknowledgement that it was right and
proper that Congress should make
demands upon them, and that they
should make concessions. The enter
ing wedge thus fixed, the chief diffi
culty would have been removed from
the path of the Jacobins, and they
could have gone on until their malice
and avarice were exhausted, inventing
requirements and conditions to which
they would have compelled those
States to subscribe.
The Southern States, however,
adopted the part of w isdom and took
the high ground, unassailable by any
argument recognizing the republican
theory, that they were still States of
the U nion, and entitled to all of the
privileges to which all other States are
entitled under the Constitution and the
laws. And being sovereign Stales
they cannot permit any dictation on
the part of Congress in regard to their
local concerns. So lung as they main
tain this ground they will be secure.
The position constitutes a barrier
which the Congress cannot surmount
without doing palpable violence to the
Constitution. It is the stumbling block
in their path now. They well know
that those States cannot be kept out of
the Union permanently ; that they must
finally be admitted to full particioation
in its piivileges and benefits, and that
their own constituents will before long
demand a final settlement of all the
questions' which have grown out of the
war, that the nation may once more
start forward in the march of prosperi
ty and glory. The hope of the Jaco
bins, therefore, is that they can delude
the Southern people into an sdmisston
that they are felons and deserving
of punishment, and that they have no
rights in the* Union except such as
their conquerers are disposed to yield
them asg. matter of grace and mercy.
If they can get this admission they feel
that they will be justified in proceed
ing to any extreme their malignity may
dictate.
It is ilfcrefore a matter ol the first
importance that the Southern States
shall maintain a dignified reserve;
consenting to nothing which infringes
upon their rights, suggesting nothing
that can be construed into a disposi
tion to make concessions, and all the
lime protesting against the outrage
perpetrated upon them in refusing to
admit them to the exercise of equal
rights in the Union, and demanding on
all occasions that equality which is
now denied. Let them hold up the
Constitution as their shields of defense,
and let it be their most eloquent ap
peal ; never losing sight of the fact
when they exchange it for anv other
weapon they are lost beyond all hope.
And this one prominent fact should
be ever borne in mind. The Jacobins
are not now aiming at guarantees
against future rebellion ; they are not
working to Becure protection for the
negroes, nor seeking to punish what
they call treason. These are all trans
parent pretexts which any one can see
through. Their purpose is to perpetu
ate their power audio retain the con
trol ol the Government for another
Presidential term. This is the govern
ing principle ol their policy, and the
Southern people may be assured that
until th°y can makeup their minds to
maiie such successions as will secure
the Jacobins on this point, they have
not the slightest chance to effect a
compromise which will secure them
representation in Congress, or exemp
tion from further persecution. It is,
therefore, worse than useless, it is ru
inous, for them to be giving encour”
agement to their foes by manifesting
even a hall-way disposition to yield
assent to their ne<ari«us measures,
w hich are invented but to delude, and
which can result in nothing but bitter
itid mortifying disappointment.
Let the Jacobins go on until they
read) the end of their rope. They are
wearying public patience and will soon
exhaust it. Already the business of
the country, in almost every depart
ment, is disastrously effected by the
radicalism of Congress. A deadly
languor is stealing upon all those
departments ol industry upon which
the prosperity ol the nation depends,
and total and ruinous paralysis is
threatened. Self interest will soon
take the place of resentment in the
minds of the Northern masses, and
then the South will he secure. Let
her then stand firm ; resolute to have
her rights and. determined to concede
nothing; for only thus can she be vin
dicated and restored.

are not devoid of every good feeling

Atlanta, Ga.. Jan 12th, 18G7.
Dear Sir : To you who stood so
cheerfully by me the day of my lirst
effort in Lexington, I feel that I cannot
be sufficiently thankful. To your en
couragement I in part owe my success ;
and now that I am here I feel that
would like to toll you what I am about.
I arrived at this place on the morning
of the ‘2Bth December. The weather
was very bad ; the hollidavs interfered
with work, and I could get nothing done
until New Year, thatdaV I commenced
my work and have been busy every
since. I find an ample field here,
but not exactly the class I hope to reach.
I am compelled to refuse many who
do not seem to be doing anything for
themselves. I sent supplies to the
country last week ; I had corn shipped
to Cartersville, in Cass county ; went
there myself; they were expecting me ;
and before mv bonnet was oft' the room
was filled with an eager crowd, asking,
“where is the woman the people of
Kentucky has sent us corn by ?” eacli
one anxious to tell her tale of sorrow ;
all women, cleanly, decent, pale, care
worn. I cannot tell you my feelings,
sir—pleased that friends had given me
something for this crowd, and pained
to see so much suffering, and know
my supply could not meet the wants of
the third. The most told of husbands
and sons killed ; each army consuming
them ; then their homes burned, and
now two years of drought ; no rain fell
for six.y-tive days. They said the
people had been kind, giving to them
until they had no corn for themselves.
I staid three days, until my supply was
exhausted. These women all walked
from the country, five and six miles,
had the corn ground in Cartersville,
and took the meal home with them. One
woman said she could hear to hear her
children cgv for bread, but her mother’s
tears, who was eighty years of age, al
most killed her. She had always, un
til the war, had coffee ; now she had no
teeth, and she could not give her bread.
I thought of my own dear old mother,
and bought her some coffee and sugar.
Please tell Mr. he and myself are
both getting old and toothless. I have
emptied my purse in b ehalf of these old
people, and 1 hope he will see that it
is filled, and kept overflowing, like the
widow’s jtig of oil. In Cass county
there are over a thousand destitute
widows and orphans, and several other
counties nearly as bad. Those men
who pass through Georgia and report
no suffering see and know nothing
about it. I tell you earnestly, these
women, many of them, will die from
exposure, want, and distress, before
another crop is raised. There is no
work for them, no cotton to pick, and
when spring comes they have no horse,
plow, or hoe. What are they to do ?
I cannot tell. The people are talking
about getting up factories for this class!
of people to labor at, but there arc very
few men here with capital. I brought
six hundred bushels of corn with me:
barrels of pork, and a box
of flannels sent me from Covington.
I have made distributions at four places,
the first at Cartersville. The Baptist
organization has since sent some there.
Their agent, Mr. llornady, is doing all
he can everywhere, and is earnest in
the work. Only four men have made
application to me, one an old blind
man. 1 could do but lit lie for him.
I had no clothing for men, nor money.
I gave him a sack of eon, and some
flannel. lam very anxious for another
shipment to reach me; but I know
what a terrible winter you have had in
Kentucky, and really I have seen noth
ing of the warm sunny South—snow,
sleet, rain, mud, shivering, half-clad
women greet my eyes in every direction.
The newspapers have done me in
justice, and it injures the cause of the
poor people here. They say I have
two thousand bushels of corn, clothing
and meat in great quantities. I wish I
had. I fear other amounts are magni
fied. I have received many private
notes from persons who are very needy,
who will not go to a public distributing
house.
1 hope 1 have not tired you, but really
I felt so grateful to vou for your aid
and encouragement.
Your friend,
SARAH HUGHES.

Our dispatches hold out to us the
hope that the dispute between those
radical Congressmen who are for ad
hering to the Constitutional Amend
ment (Bingham, Raymond, etas.), and
those who are for requiring more, and
restoring to territorial and military rule
(Stevens, Sumner, et al.), will eventu
ate in the failure to pass any radical
“ plan” this session' This is encour
agment, but the experience of last ses
sion t aches us thrt the radicals can be
rallied with wonderful facility to the
support of a caucus scheme during the
last few r days of the session. We be
lieve that time must bring about a popu
lar condemnation of the harsh and ar
bitrary measures that now find favor in
Congress, and therefore we derive en
couragement from anything that post
