Confiscation. Os all the humbugs got up by I cr rnrisis to frighten week people, the grtitt'si is ibe humbug ut '.be confisea tioti of the lauds and property of the people of the Southern States, by the legislation of the Congress us the I; piled Slates. If these Terrorists "intend to say, that bv mere brute foree, without law or constitutional authority, the Radicals will order our property to be seized and appropriated, and carry out the order bv the military power rtf the United States Government, we have nothing to reply. This may be done, but it will not be “confiscation* I —it will be ••spoliation.*’ Confiscation is an ah fair of law. In Rutland formerly it wrs carried out against political offend • ers by hills of attainder passed in Par liament. Hut spoliation is mere robbery Mid appropriation by brute force. It pretends to no legal authority. It pro fesses to have no title, and it gives no title; and passes property from its rightful owner so long as the stronger sword predominates, and no longer. — ‘•Confiscation” is a very different thing; and our fathers, who had just come out of a seven years’ war to en force their rights to their property, were not ignorant of the importance of providing the strongest guarantees in the constitution ol the United States, against any deprivation of either by individuals or the Government. In the sth article of the constitution, it is provided—“No person shall be held to answer for a capital or other wise infamous crime, unlesson pre. "eminent or indictment of a grand except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger ; nor shall any person In: subject lor the same offence to be pm in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall he compelled, in any criminal case, to he a witness against himself. j or me, liberty or prop erty without due process of law; nor hliall private property he taken for public use, without just compensa tion.” Our readers will remark, that the words used iu this article are “no per* 9 m.” These words cover all foreign ers or sojourners in the land—and all inhabitants of the Territories as well as of the States. Hence we see every day, foreigners tried in our courts with all the guarantees for justice this clause contains. In cases involving property, it is also the same. Now, are the people of the Souther Slates ‘persons?’ Il so, they have a right to the gauaran tecs for the preservation and protection of their persons and property, this ar ticle contains. The military act just passed by Congress not only recogniz es th< m as “persons,” but terms them “people of States” an J citizens.” All the constitution of the United States, however, requires, is, that they shall he “persons”—whether inhabitants o! the States or Territories —citizens and foreigners —entitled to the elective fran chise or excluded therefrom —they must be “persons” —that is all. The Constitution makes one excep tion to the protection this article con tains, in the case of treason ; and this is the crime for with it is said that our property will be confiscated. 1. It says that “no bill of attainder or ex post facto law shall be passed.” The meaning of this prohibition is, that alter any political offenses or acts of treason shall be committed, Con gress can pass no laws to punish them. Whatever punishment may be incurred for these offences, must he by laws passed before the commission of them. The object of this clause is, to divest Congress of the power of punishing, after the fury of the passions have been awakened, by laws affecting previous offenses. 2. Another clause ol the constitu tion prescribes that “The Congress shall have power to declare the punish ment of treason, hut no attainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture, except during the life of the person attained.” Here is the power given to Congress, by a general law, declaring the punishment of treas on, before the treason is committed, to affix as a punishment for treason “a forfeiture of property,” or “an attainder of treason”—that is, a conviction for treason ; but the forfeiture can only extend to the life of the person convict ed. And how this attainder or conviction of treason is to take place, is also care fully provided for by the constitution. It says : “The trial of all crimes, except in ca ses of impeachment, shall he bv jury ; and such trial shall be held in the Slate wh°re the crimes shall have been com muted, Treason against the United States shall consist only of levying war agaist them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witness es to the same overt act, or on confes sion in open court. The treason must he tried before a jury in the State vtliere the treason is committed, and conviction must he the result ol this trial, by the testimony of two witness es, or on confession in open court.” Now, under these clauses oi the Constitution, how can Congress pass anv laws, declaring a forfeiture or con fiscation of property generally, hv the people of the Southern Slates, for any treason committed by them against the United States? Anil if they pass any such laws, must they not be made ap-, pliraMe to each individual on a trial for treason before a jury of the State, in which the treason is committed ? I) ips any Southern citizen fear a con viction for treason before such a tribu- nul ? And if convicted of treason, can the forfeiture extend beyond the life of the person couvicied ? We have seen it stated, but we have not seen the law. that Congress has provided for the punishment of treason, and has not in* eluded forfeiture, as one of its penal ties. It may be said in answer to these questions, that the Congress of tlu United States will not regard the Con stitution and the protection it affords. Very well. They are revolutionists — they are open wrong doers—they <ienj us a trial for alleged ( flenses, and level in the spoils of robbery. In this game nothing is lost, and nothing is gaine l but by the sword. When the camp and the soldier disappears our right to our property is just as good as before we were forcibly divested of it. Then we will only have to appeal to the Con stitution of the United Stales, and -the peaceable operation ol the laws, and all mir properly will be restored to us, as it is now being restored in Tennessee. We have only to stand still and bide our time. It will come, to our triumph, and the confusion and discomfiture of our enemies. Let us not fear wrong, but stand firm tn the maintenance ol the right. We are satisfied that under the Con* siiiutioti of the United States the prop erty of the Southern people cannot be made amenable to confiscation—and we have no feais that it will be made amenable to spoilation, in contempt of its preventive sanctions. —Charleston Alercury. Ik Kxutcss. SAM’L H. SMITH and ROUT. P. MILAM" Editors and Proprietors. Cartersvlllc,Cla, March 2 i, 1567. do wish, from the bottom of our heart, that we could pick up one item of loca* interest to our readers. Since our people got a hint that Thadeus Stevens was going to in troduce a hill in Congress to confiscate the land in the South, they have all caved—busi ness of all kinds, except political speculation, lias been brought to a dead stand still. We could submit to the abolition of slavery, the loss of social and political power, the devasta tion of our country, the civil and political e quality of the negro, and to a military despot ism, yea, even to the disrobing of everv ves tige of the liberty of freemen, and the loss of fathers, brothers, chi'drcn and friends, hut oh? when our pocKet interest is threatened we shrink hack appalled—our energies all paraly zed —hopes vanquished- -heart-sick —exclaim- ing we are ruined ! irrevocably ruined ! ! But a few short wee/rs ago and all was life and animation here, buying, selling, building and going ahead generally, but no sooner than the great bug-bear confiscation is intimated, than the yell is raised rats to your holes ! Mr. Stevens’ confiscation bill has been intro duced and laid on the shell to mature until Congress meets in Decenrber next, during the interim the Reconstruction of the Southern States is to he canvassed and decided. If we would only ponder the truths of divine revela tion more, and appeal to our fears less, our troubles would he vastly dissipated, and we would he a happier and more prosperous peo ple. Three-fourths of the troubles that dis tract the people and derange the hutiness of the country, are anticipated. Wc have trouble enough that is real without heaping up wrath against the day wrath. Let us get our con sent to bear the ills we have and not fly to those we /mow not of, for sufficient un'o the day is the evil thereof. If we would do ’veil ourselves and benefit our country and those around us, we must cease repining and murmuring, and go to work, and in this way inspire the masses with hope and confidence—business will he revived and the energies of the people stimulated and capital and enterprise will be directed to this country, and the whole machinery of the land will he put into lively operation, the future will be less portentious of of evil, and we will feel more like we were created for some purpose, But if we still continue to repine and murmur, we wi 1 lose all our energies and confidence, the whole business of the country will stag nate, the people will become indolent and reckless, and pestilence and famine will pre vail throughout the land. Look up, gentle reader, the bright firmament is still above you, and the orb of day still peeps down upon you. Heaven is still inviting, and God waiting to be gracious. who know how to appreciate a good thing will he happy to learn that friend J G. flocks has just opened a large first class Livery and Sale Stable in this place, in his new mil magnificent Stables on the west side of the Kail-Road.

The pecuniary stringency is so great j in Pitt county, North Carelina, that ! the people recently compelled the slier*! ill to burn up all his writs and execu' j tions returnable at court, refusing to be ' ejected from their homes, and being unable to pay. CovoJe’s resolution in favor of a se- 1 lec.t committee to report on impeachment j is said to have been drawn up by But* j ler. It was defeated. The annual meeting of the Bishops j of Methodist Episcopal Church, South* ' will take place in Nashville, on Mon day, April 15- The Book Committe and the Board of Domestic Mission will meet at the same place and time. The Legislature of Mississippi has appropriated §20,000 for the defence of Jell’. Davis. “The colored people of Charlotte have formed an anti—emigration society to prevent, as far as possible, the emi gration ol colored people from that State. They insist that North Caroli na colored citizens should remain at home to develop the resources of their own State,” Tiie Ladies of Atlanta, Ga.,are get ting up a “calico party,” after which the dresses worn will be donated to the poor. Stevens’ Bill. —“ Are you acquain ted with the provisions of Stevens’ Bill,” said a gentleman who was a little anxious about reconstruction to another not very well posted. “Ac quainted with Stevens’ Bill,” was the answer, “certainly I am and a derned mean nigger he is, too. Don’t know much about his provisions though —saw him with a middling of meat the other day—reckon he stole it. He won’t suffer, as long as there is any* thing to steal.” — Chattanooga. —Notwithstanding the immense destruction worked by the recent flood at Chattanooga, we learn through the American Union that the enterprising business men of the city are all at work again, repairing damages, and making everything trim and snug. The paper states that it is impossible to estimate the amount of loss at present, but it is immense. BSfAn editorial notice of the new bankrupt bill recently published in the Star, is understood by some to mean that our opinion of that law is that it does away with the State stay laws, imprisonment lor debt, &c. This is not our understanding of the law. — What we meant to say is, that the Bankrupt Law will in a measure do away with the necessity for local leg islation lor the relief of the people, for bv availing themselves of its benefits, they can completely wipe out their in debtedness, leaving them a homestead, and some of the necessaries to com* mence life anew with.— Star, Butler’s Canal. —The Dutch Gap Canal, which originated in the genius of General Butler, is to be made servi ceable after all, though not altogether as that redoubtable individual proposed. The Richmond authorities recently had it officially inspected, and report that the City Engineer and the other officers with him, are satisfied with the practi cability of completing the canal and ma king it suitable for the transit of the large vessels now rnnning on the river. So the hero ol Fort Fisher has really done the State some service. But it is the onlv case recorded, and that was not intentional. It looks if the flying rumors about the ill health of ex*President Davis are ill founded, as a Washington paper says that many ladies of that city are busily engaged in making baby clothes for Mrs. Davis. The Five District Commanders. — The Washington correspondent of the New York World, telegraphs on the Bth : It seems to be understood that the President this day assigned Generals Sheridan, Thomas, Sickles, Schofield and Onl, to the coominand of the five military districts of the South, required bv the new reconstruction law. The Third 91 Hilary Districts to be Commanded by Cleueral Tope, aud not Ceu. Thomas. Washington, March, 18.—General j Thomas, at his own request, retains command of the Department oi the Cumberland, and General John Pope will command the Third District. M. E. Church South. The Baltimore ‘Conference VI. E. Church South have cast an unanimous vote in fstvor of lay representation and of changing the church name to Epis* copal Methodist. The minority vole on lay delegalion was previously thir ty-three more than one-fourth of the whole vote on lay representation, and fifty-three more than one-fourth on the change of church name. This requi* red ninety-nine votes to carry the first and 159 votes to carry the second, un der the requisition for a three-fourth majority. The Baltimore Conference vote one each, 104 yeas, with no nays. This carries Lay delegation by five majority in the whole • Church. The change of the name is lost by 55. It is believed that a conference in Illinois will join the' Southern Church with votes enough, if allowed, to overcome this, and thus carry both measures, af ter both had been given up for lost —Richmond Enquirer, 1 Ith. Fight Between Citizens and Soldiers. Carlisle, Pa., March 16.—Soldiers and citizens have had a regular battle. A number of citizens were shot. Mrs. Stewart, Thomas and Zimmerman and Jacob Small killed. A. Hatnmill and two soldiers wounded, one mortally. The New Capital. —By a vote of the Virginia Legislature it has been de cided that Morgantown, in Mononga- Itela county, is to be the new capital of this Stale. Heretofore the seat of gov ernment has been at Wheeling, in the extreme northwest corner ofWest Vir ginia. Morgantown is situated on the Monongahela river. A Washington correspondent says that the committee of Virginia Legisla ture, before leaving Washington, were advised by the President not to call any convention, but to leave that duty to the Military Commander. Municipal election Suspended in Virginia. Richmond. March 17.—Gen. Scho field has suspended the municipal elec tion at Fredericksburg, and probably do the same all over the State, the old of ficers to remain in their position- A Boston dispatch says sixteen thousand dollars have been raised in that city for the destitute of the South. Some of the papers, say that the rea son ol Hon. 1 Reverdy ' Johnson’s vote on the military bill was a sudden panic on eonfiscaiipn. The Chamber of Commerce has sub scribed half a million dollars to build a railroad from Covington, Ky., to tap the Knoxville branch near Mount Vernon, Ky. Resolutions requesting the immediate release of Mr. Davis, or that steps be taken for an early trial, have been in troduced into the Kentucky legislature. Brownlow threatens to return to private life, and the Boston Post offers its condolence to private life. A communication “from the spirit world” rapped out that “A Great Hum bug” would soon be in Congress. The Boston Post says: A feature of the times is the steady withdrawal ol money from the savings banks bv the working classes. According to the superintendent of public instruction, there are now one round million of scholars attending the free schools of New York. A fire at Y.eddo, Japan, has destroyed four miles of houses. Bankrupts.— The following appears in the Memphis Bulletin , as an adver tisement : Bankrupts, Attention .—All those who would join us in going through the mill of bankruptcy, at half the usual fare, will address Debtors, care of the Bulletin office. Six of us unfortunate fellows have made terms and have the highway to freedom made smooth. — The cost of the process is reduced to a minimum, and we had as well go through in a body. The more of us. the less the cost to each. Kefereiices interchanged and correspondence con ifidential. Debtors. March 9th. Sleeping Cars.— These indispens able and luxurious adjuncts to modern travel, we • notice, have been placed upon the Macon and Western Railroad. All the roads leading from the city are now furnished with them.- Opinion, nth. Linton Stephens, of Geor gia, is among the arrivals at one of the New York Hotels. He is on his. way to Boston to be married to a lady of that city. So says an exchange. The Supplement to tile milita ry mil. Ti:e following is an abstract of the bill supplementary to an act eutillcd “An act to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel States,” and to facilitate restoration, which was in troduced in the U. S. Senate on Wed nesday last by Senator Wilson, and referred to the Judiciary Committee.— Judging from our telegraphic synopsis of the bill as finally reported and passed on Monday, it does not materially differ from Mr. Wilson's draft, though the 6th section was stricken out: Section one directs the commanding officer of each district to cause a regis tration to be made before September 1, 1867, in cash county or parish in his district, of the male citizens over 21 years of age, resident therein, to in clude only those qualified to vote by the act to which this is a supplement, and who shall take and subscribe the following oath : “I, , do hereby solemnly sweat (or affirm) that 1 mn sincerely and earnestly attached to the Union and Government of the United States ; that I will steadfastly support the Constitution and obey the laws of the United States, and that I will, tn the best of my ability, engage all others to such support and obedience; so help me, God.” Section two directs the commanding general, as soon as the registration is completed, to cau?e an election for del egates to a convention to be held on a day not less than thirty days from date of proclamation of election, for the purpose of amending the existing or framing anew constitution, of firmly establishing loyal civil governments, and passing needful ordinances to put the same into operation. Section three directs that the said con ventions shall be called on the basis of representation on which the number of members ol Congress is apportioned. Section four provides for the ap pointment by the commanding general of officers or persons to make the reg istration, preside at the elections, re. ceive, sort, and count the votes, and make return thereof and of the persons elected, and he shall then make procla mation of the persons elected, and no tify within sixty days when and where they shall assemble to organize the convention ; and when the said con vention shall have amended the exist ing or framed anew constitution in accordance with the act <o which this is a supplement, it shall be submitted to tl • people at an e!e tion to be held after the expiration of thirty days from notice thereof given by the convert ion. Section five provides that if the said constitution is ratified by a majority of the votes cast, the President of the Convention shall transmit the same to the President of the United States, who shall transmit it to Congress, if in session, and if not in session, then upon its next assembling; and if it be declared by Congress to be in confor mity with the provisions of the act re cently passed by Congress, known as the Military bill, the State shall be de clared as entitled to representation, and Senators and Representatives shall be admitted as provided in said act. Section six provides that the duties and powers delegated and conferred upon the commanding general may, with his consent, be transferred to the acting Governor of the State, upon his taking an oath faithfully to perform and execute the same. Non Interference by the PresJ ident. The telegraph has ii: formed us that Gen. Schofield, commander of the first Military District, had forbidden the holding ol municipal election in Fred ericksburgh, Va., and directed that the old officers hold over. During the last week the Common Council of that city selected the Major to go to Washing" ton and ascertain from President John son whether, in the approaching mu nicipal election, the right to vote, and the qualification of voters, were to be as provided bj’ the character and the! ex isting laws ot Virginia, or by the Sher r man Bill, The News says the Mayor proceeded to Washington and had an interview with the President and At torney-General who declined to express an opinion, and stated that all matters pertaining to Virgenia affairs should be referred to General Schofield. It is ev ident that the President has determin ed to allow the military to execute the law to the letter, as they may construe it. Atlanta Opinion. The National Intelligencer,'of the 12th, has the following paragraph : Reconstruction in Sight. —A sig** nificant acknowledgement was made yesterday, even by so determined an ultraist as Mr Boutwell, of Massachus setts, which ought not to escape the at tention of the South. Replying to Mr. Bingham’s reminder that the constitu tions adopted by the Southern people would sitll have to come before Con gress for acceptance, he declared that “Congress would be under the irresis tible pressure to except any constitu tion so adopted as the work of the peo ple of the State.” This was urged by Mr. Boutwell as a reason for having the preliminaries so arranged that no need less question should be raised in Con gress subsequently about the admission ol a State. Mr. Sherman introduced a join! resolution, removing the disability from holding office from Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, and R. M. Patton, ol Ala bama. It was referred to the Judiciary Committee, CbuKtcMsionnl Proceedings. Washington, March 19.—The reso lution suspending the issue ol agricul tural college scrip to insurgent States, passed by a vote ol 103 to 23. The joint resolution authorizing the publication of the laws and treaties in three Louisiana papers, passed. Mr. Stevens called up the confisca tion bill, and proceeded to read his speech. He soon broke down, and the Clerk finished its reading. The fur ther consideration of the bill was post ooned until the second Tuesday of December. The House then went into Commit tee of the Whole on the million relief bill. Mr. Butler offered his amendment, as a substitute, that all owning a hun dred and sixty acres, or enjoying an income of over six hundred dollars, be taxed by the General for the support of the poor. The committee rose, after a long debate, witout action. The supplemental bill as reported by the committee of conference passed, and goes to the President. House adjourned. In the Senate the joint resolution suspending the payment for enlisted slaves was postponed. The credentials of Senator Thomas, of Marylend, were referred to the Jud“ diciarv Committee. The bill excluding from either House persons tainted with rebellion, was referred to the Judiciary Committee. The conference committee reported the supplemental hill. A majority of voters will be sufficient to ratify the Constitution, provided a majority of the registered voters vote, with the additional clause that Congress must be satisfied that registered voters have unrestrained liberty to vote, and that the Constitution meets the approval of a majority ol the qualified voter* of the State. The bill passed, and after Executive session the Senate adjoured. Probable Adjournment of Con gress. Washington, March 19.—The Sup plemental bill will be presented to the President to-morrow, and as soon as it becomes a law, Congress will ad journ. The Senate confirmed the appoint ment of Joseph J. Bartlett as Minister to Stockholm, and Peter J. Sullivan to Bogota. Great Meeting - at Selma. Selma, March 19.—The largest meet ing ever held in this city has passed resolutions recognizing the right of Congress to prescribe terms for the reradmission of the seceded States, and urging a prompt acceptance of the terms offered. Gen. Sheridan Issues an Order at JVew Orleans. New Orleans, Mnroh 20. —r?en. Sheridan has issued an order in which he say that there will be no general removals from office, unless circum stance? require it; and that it is desir able, during the process of re-organiza tion, to change as little as possible the machinery of the Provisional Govern ment. _______________ Hand Looms.
