@ (j i B.VM'L H. SMITH aku ROUT. P. MILAM Editors and Proprietors. Carters'! Ille. Ga., Feb. 2J, ISC7 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. Louisville Courier. 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. C. A. EVANS. 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., J. R. THOMAS. From the Louisville Courier. 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. From the Kentucky Gazctt. A Touching Letter. The following touching letter from Mrs. Surah Hughes to a gentleman of this county gives a truthful account of tbe districts of the country she has visited. The author is devoting her self to this chaii.able work, and all who are not devoid of every good feeling should uphold her hands. The bless ing ol # the poor and her own deeds will iollow her through life : 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. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 20, 1867. Messers. Editors Express ; —Trade for the past week, lias been less active than for the preceeding one. There was a tailing off in the receipts of Corn but they nearly reached an av erage, the demand was about the same, and the sales were equal to those of the previous three weeks, the market closing at $1,33 @ 1,35 for prime white in good order by the car load, and $1,32 (a) 133 lor mixed and yellow. The receipts of Flour were larger than for the preceeding week, demand steady. We quote super fine at $13.1 @ 13J, extra sl3l @ sl4, double ex tra sl4l @ sl4l, extra family slsl @ SI6J, fancy fami'y from white wheat sl7l, market closes firm. The receipts of Bacon were consid erably less last week than for the week before. We quote shoulders at 14 (a), 14J cts., bone sides 151 els., clear rib sides 15J cts., clear sides 161 cts., plain hams 18 @ 19 cts. and sugar cured canvassed do 29 (a) 21 cts. Pork shoulders are worth 111 @ 12 cts., sides 141 @ 15 cts., and hams 151 @ 16 cts. The receipts of Hay last week were lighter than they have been for several weeks. It is still firm at $45 per ton. The receipts of Oats were lighter, with a fair demand at 95cts. (a). SI.OO. Lard is in fair request at 15 @ 151 cts in tierces and barrels, and 171 cts. in kegs and cans, cans included. The market is well supplied with choice Irish Potatoes, for planting, which sell at $5.50 @sß,oo per barrel. The demand for Concentrated Fer tilizers is on the increase, and a grow ing interest in them is clearly percept ible. Baugh’s Raw Bone Super Phos phate is of the best that can be had at $70,00 per ton. Very Respectfully, ' A. lv. SEAGO, (loin. Merch’nt. 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 pones action.
