DEAD l It i* with feo'ings of the sincercst regret, rays the Macon Journal (ft Mrs tmger, that wc annonneo the death, a* his residence in this city, of Mr. Simiu Kose, one of the late proprietors of the ‘‘Journal and Messenger,” and a gentle man widely known and highly esteemed throughout the State. Mr. Rose hid b en a rosident of Ma con •Imrst from the day the first log cabin was built on its present site, com ing here about the year 1823. From that day till about one year ago he was engaged in tbo newspaper publication business—first of the “Georgia Jour nal,” and thon the “Georgia Journal and Messenger.” II • was an indus trious, conscientious and influential man in his profession, and bis loss will be mourned by no class more than the old subscribers to this paper, many of whom have been reading it for over a quarter of a century. Mr. Rose, at tbo time of his death, was Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Masons in this State. His disease, which was pneumonia, only attacked him Friday night, and he died on Sunday morning. He was in the 70th year of his age at the time of his death. Ex-President Johnson. We give space this week, for extracts of a speech male by Ex-President Johnson, at Knoxville, Tonn This speeeb is worthy of perusal by all our readers, aud gives moitt Lforma tion of Congress, the rnatcr'al of which it is made, and what we nay expect from them, than any document we have seen. We had a poor opinion of Mr Johnson at one dme, but fear his pres ence and influence at Washington will bo much needed, to keep the South ou of degradation and ruin. Southern Cotton Factories. From every part of Georgia, says the Federal Union, we arc pleased to hear that the people are waking up to the importance of manufacturing our own cotton. This is the spirit. Every sur should be invested in manufactories.— If the people at the North can make im mense fortunes by manufacturing cotton brought from Georgia, surely wo can make more when both the cotton and make of the goods ate close by us.— There is no doubt that cotton factories at the South is the most profitable in vestment for capital that can be found in the United States and men of mean? will soon find it out. But the people of the South should not miss this splendid chance of makiDg money—they, too, should take part in it. We hope in ten yoar3 the cotton of Georgia will be mostly manufactured in Georgia. Cuba. The question of the recognition of Cuban independence, says a special dispatch to the Louisville Courier, was substantially adoptei to-day by the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Fernando Wood and Governor Swann voting with the Republicans and mak ing the report unanimous. The pros pect is that when reported it will pass the House. There is no doubt that this committee is considerably ahead ot the views of the Senate and the ad ministra'ion. The latter declines to take any rash steps calculated to com promise our neutral obligations in re gard to Cuba. The Secretary of State, on the application of the Spanish loga tion here, has sent instructions to all the seaboard marshals and the district attorneys to enforce the provisions oS the neutrality laws against all parties fitting out filibustering expeditions in tended or supposed to be intended lor Cuba- The President has not yet con sented fe see Mr. Letnus, the envoy ol the revolutionists of the Island, and the Secrecy o( s tate baß on, y Been him at bis priv.'l e rooms, and not at the Department. other words, the Government fears to gcs ' u!o !l ,nuss through Mr. Lemus. Adjournment op Congress : Bcv* l Houses have passed a joint resolution to adjourn on the lOiii, and the dispatches tap that action regarding the excluded States considered improbable this ecs tion, Ni‘W!i|>ii|u-r For Sale.

Os Gen. S. W. Crawford, who is to ; take the place of General Moade as the military commandant of this State, the Louisville Courier Journal writes in :bc following highly complimentary manner: “The promotion < l this popular geu - j tinman ard meritorious rHi or to the! Colonelcy of the Second Infantry is an I appropriate recognition of his services ■ and distinguished gallantry; and is a 1 source of gratification to tbo large circle j of friends he has here and elsewhere.—, His removal from here will bo regretted by all who have oorne in contact with j him, either socially o olli al; - . Ifisi courteous manners r.nd frank address, j united to good sense aud a souod judg- ; uient, will always make him friendss j wherever be goes Tbo good people of , Atlanta will find in him a commander who will maintain order anil discipline j among bis troops and endeavor to pro- j serve good feeling between them and the citizens. General Crawford bears the n putatiou of being a fair mao, and by no means a violent or extreme ono. It is to be hoped thin, that, during bis sojourn in Georgia, it will prove as sati.-l .ctory to the people there as his residence hero has been. It is only by sending South such men as Hancock, Crawford aud others like them that the Government cau hope to restore) tha era of good so 1- ing among all classes toward tbe Union. Georgia—Tho N.w Yoik World's Washington correspondent, under date of 31st uP., furnishes that paper with the following; A Georgia delegation, headed by C -l onel Bryant, formrtly of the Confeder ate army, was heard by the Committee on the Georgia question. Bryant said ho opposed this bill an! tho general pol icy of the Radicals in Cmgrrss with re ferenee to Georgia, which, if carried out wuold, in his opinion, make a Fccond Roland or a second Ireland of the State. He said the people of Georgia including rebels, were will disposed and desired harmony, but the mischievous lcgisla tion proposed would ned only overthrow the Republican party in the State, but drive tbe people to desperation, and none could foretell the disasters to fol low. lie censured Governor Bullock, to whom he attributed the defeat of the Fifteenth Amendment in the Georgia flrT.'**- an< l adds that if unlimited power was placed in his ban*.*, os proposed by this bill, incalculable injury wouli done to the State and country, Senator Sprague, of B’.oli Island, says tho Richmond Enquirer, has lately become a large property-hold ir in South Carolina. That (or some thing else, for wo wish to be charitable) has “reconstructed” his political posi tion. This change, at any rate, is ap parent from a remarkable speech he made in tho Senate a day or two ago. Hear him ; >,y . f'- ~ . past history of this country—and .ho people, whatever philosophers may say, will come to the same conclusion—have como to believe that your war has not been won for tho liberties of any class of people; your war that you have just partially coucluded,'has had no high vir tuous principle at the bottom of it. It has had simp’o contentions for power, for place and for occupation, commenc ing here in this body, and permeating throughout tho country." A correspondent says that “these ut terances are more important, inasmuch as they emauate from Mr Sprague, whoso vote, even upon the impeachment trial, was ono of the surest in the inter est of extreme Radicalism. They are still more transcendency significant for the reason that the speech i= known here to be the production, and therefore a chart of the sentiments of Judge Cease , himself!” ■' | Bullock's Evidence a Forgery. Below we presenttheaffidavit of Sam uel J. Jones, of Jefferson county, in which he declares that the certificate which Bu’lock presented to the Con gressional Reconstruction Committee in ’ relation to affairs in hisoounty, is abase forgery. This is rather heavy on the Express Agent and his crowd of agita tors now iti Washington. We sent the original affidavit la6t n ght by mail, to him.

Knoxville, April 3.—The city is crowded with the old friends of An drew Johnson. At nn early hour this morning they assembled in little knots in the streets, talking about Andy’s old triumphs Special trains on tho railroads brought crowds to tho city At 11 A. m , a special train arrived from Greenville with Mr. Johnson Ho was greeted at the train by a delo gation of citizens, with a band of mu sic, and escorted to tho Lumar House in a barouche, in company wi h Col. Nelson and Jno. M. Fleming, of the i Press and Herald. After a short delay Mr. Johnson was introduced to the assembled crowd, numbei ing about five thousand, by Col. Nelson, who referred to his previous political differences with ihe distinguished gentleman before them, and to their argument upon tho v tal question of union ; and recurring to the persecutions inflicted upon Mr. Johnson for Union sentiments, he e ! o quently do-ci ibed his patriotic course during the war, and in conclusion al luded to his wi-e and conciliatory poli cy of reconstruction Mr Johnson, after returning thanks for the cordiality of the welcome, said ha had endeavored to protect the Con stitution. Ail he asked was a lair ex amination of his record. He intended to devote the remainder of his life as a private citizen, to the vindication of his official life and bis native State, from tbe foul obloquy that bad been heaped upon him and her Though bent, he bad not been broken by the storm which had nearly wrecked the ship nf Statu, lie bad seen in the papers bis own obituary, and supposed he might be listened to as one risen irom the dead, and he thought belief should be placed in ono coming from the grave. [A voice: “Not so dead yet.”] The Constitution, 6aid Mr. Johnson, divides the Government into three de partments. When the Congress of the United States, excited by partisan interest and the spirit of tyranny, vio luted the Constitution, I vetoed their bills nn 1 sent them back. Let us see how those department operate. Each is confined to its sphere. Let us rea son together. Where is danger to tho Government? I tell you here to-day, and as one speaking horn tho dead it is in the legislative department. Tho Executive has only negative power.— The judiciary can only expound tho la\V, but tho Legislature can pass laws of the n?ost arbitrary character, and under pretence of jaw trample upon the liberties ot i!.® people. Those who are trying to undermine the Ciih*ti,u tlon have given tho impression that two thirds majority has tho power to i set aside the Constitution. They can go on until Congress—a capricious Congress—yes, a despotic —yes, a usurping Congress—will take away tho liberties of tha peopile, but I still fee! that l stood as a break water tit ti e head of the American Govern ment, and arrested the progress of tho 1 pin know what was goiflfg on; and while others may claim tho honor of having established the Government, I feel 1 can, without egotism, claim the credit of having been efficient in its preservation. The time has come to talk about the first principles of Gov ernment. Take away tho restraints which hold back Congress and you have a despotic Government. Without a cheek on the legislative department of government, you have Congress with its discretion—or, per haps, I should say its indiscretion—the measure of its power. Jefferson de scribes just such a body as this—'he exact embodiment of despotism—and let me tell you bore that a wise and good prince is infinitely better than a usurping, arbitrary, despotic Congress. [Voieo: “That’s so”| Look at the course of Great Britain towards tho Colonies, and compare it with that of Congress. Look at the Declaration of Independence and see how tho recent acts of Congress are similar to the course of Great Bi itain then. When that declaration was made, an 1 the people saw their wrong, they were aroused to gain their fie dom Now look at our condition. Tho great writ of habeas corpus suspended, and when a citizen of the United States appealed to tho Supremo Court, nn arbitrary Congress took from him tho right of appeal and deprived him of his liberty. | Mr. Johnson alluded to the charge j of trea on to his party, and asked when had lie been false to tbe platform upon which bo was nominated? lie then ' took up tho sneering accusation about his being Moses, ar.d asked if it was not be that freed the negroes in Ten nessee. Freedom was only liberty to work—it was not to build up a miser able lazaroni ty be supported by tho Government. Lot me tell you, colored men, (and I have never deceived whi e men or black men,) that these men who talk about your old masters have on’y delivered you up to new masters. \ You arc slaves to the league. Let me j say to you as I said to my old servant, as l told him when I came back : j “Sam, the inly difference bo:ween us I is. that 1 froed you lour years ago, and 1 1 was only emancipated on the 4th of I March.” So you seo lam addressing 1 you as a freedman. [/mughter.] j As evidence of his loyalty, he said j lie had a paper signed by Wm. G. j Brownlow, acknowledging the receipt ! of fifteen hundred dollars to establish a | Union press at Knoxville, and to de fray Brownbtv’B expenses in escupiug ‘ front secession oppression. The time is full of alarming portents, j the country is in danger, and let mo j bit my warning voice Look at tho j taxes of Statu and of Federal Govern | ment collects one hundred and fifty j millions —three times as much as was necessary a few years ago for tho J whole expenses of the Government—to pay the bondholders. You black men might as well know this, that whilo they have been enfranchising you and disfranchising white men, they bavo been making you slaves. Yes, you are all slaves together to bondholders who have never shed a drop of blood. I wouid to God that the Government had not tho credit to borrow a dollar to carry on the war. If the people had not had the wherewith beforehand to pay the cost of a War, we should never have had one. Tiiank God, iny march has not been through Golgotha. My honors have not been gained by blood. The widows and tho one armed soldiers cannot utiribute their wrongs to me. I stand here vindicating the Con stitution as it was handed down to me; and hero, in tho lust hours oi my life, I cal!'upon you to cling to the Constitu tion of our country as tho mariner clings to his compass, Mr Johnson spoke about two hours, and be was listened to with the close t attention. On retiring Ir tn the stand he was hearti y applauded, and was at once surrounded by old friends. — Several hours passed in interchanging reminiscences. In conversation ho spoke without re servo of Grant, whom he characterized as a bundle of prejudices, and of his Gift Enterpri e Cabinet—as ho called it. The people are heattily glad to see Johnson again among them, and seem to think he will succeed in overthrow ing despotism in Tennessee. THE V.t.Y LEW. Rewarding a Spy—Look Out tor Your Letters, Ye Kiclt inoiit! People. It. war in tho time of Rmoulus that Tarpeia, the daughter of the Governor of the Ii tman citidt-l, agreed to b. tray the garis n. Caret '■* 'he bracelets worn by tbe Sabine rs, she de manded, as a reward, tise ornaments which they carried upon their left arms. She opened the gates of tbe fortress, and having gained possession of it, the Sa bines threw their shields upon the trait ress and crushed her to death. Down through all the subsiquent centuries, soys the Baltimore Gazette, the crime which has been held in most general detestation among mec is treachery.— Even those who profit by the deed inva tiibly despise tho wretch who perpe trates it. But as human sffiirs are con duc ed, it is unhappily ncccs.-iry both for the civil aud military auth rities t f a nation to reward individuals in ccr lain cases for their desertion of duty or betrayal of a trust. But such is the contempt usually felt for the traitor that he is generally awarded his recompense iu gold, and is seldom elevated to a lu crative place or honorable offi >o. Ar nold was cnc of tho exceptions to this rule, but notwithstand ng tbe rank con ferred upon him, ho was universally ab horred by the people to whom he sought to render such valual le service. But •he Radical par y in this couutry, hav ing no nice scruples about the means by wtn.th i* drains its ends, makes lit tle distinction between dirty and honor erafcle w> ri. It confers uprfl the spy ar.d the traitor the same kind of reward that it gives to the gallant soldier. A> if to encourage others to emulate her infa-- my, it has just appointed one Miss Van | Lew to bo postmistress at Richmond.— • r ULt . t vyot'.i an •» e}) .fif] towea on tor in consideration of her t>e trayal of tire people of that city when General Grant was before it. Sue was entitled to blood money for her base treachery, but it is indecent and scanda lous to the last degree that such a per son should be elevated, to a high and re spoa-i'olo office. All other considera tion apart, the public intercs's demand that tne Government agents should be selected for some other reason than tlu ir complicity with treachery and falsehood. The Tarpeia-who would betray a city is not above tampering with the mails.— Nash. Union if - American. Brownlow Trembling like an aspen leaf, his hauds, feet, and even his jaws are in constant tremulous motion; he sits there like a candle burned to ns socket, rea'fy in a moment to go out. Every motion is that of a most enfeebled invalid, slow, languid and unavailing II:s voice is so feeble and tremulous that his son, who con stantly attends him, must place b : s ear close to bis father’s lips, and thus con vey his words t > his friends. Day after day the eyes of hundreds in the galle ries are fixed upon tha old aian, as he bailees (hero iu the chair, a silent, quivering, human wreck.

Drunkenness and Crime —Mr. Haynes, warden of the Missachnsetts State Prison,lß his valuable bonk recent ly published, says that duiiog the elev en years that ho ha been connected with the institution, t-.v y one persons have been iuTPrijotred for killing their wive’, two for killing tin ir lathers, aud one fur killing his mother Ot these twenty-four, all but one were not only habitual drunkards, but actually drunk when they committed the crime; and he also remarks that “these were not bad men, except when under the influenco of liquor; and yet, justice can make no distinction, but bolds him equally guilty who commits crime uad r such circum stances as the ouc who suberly and with ; intellect unclouded violates the law.” j Chicago, M irch 30—Another fright ful accident occurred on the Toledo, Peoria, and Warsaw railroad, at half past twelve o'clock this umrning, just cast of Eureka. The eastern bouud freight train, while crossing a bridge at that place, three hundred feet long, was thrown from tho track by a broken rail and tbe enijine was pitched from the bridge, turning completely over in its descent, and alighted on its wheeis. Nine ears were detached, and very badiy dam aged. Engineer W. W. Morgan was in stantly killed, and Fireman Corry was severely injured. Seventy-five feet of the bridge was torn away, and tha treiu, triage, aad road a r e a fearful wreck. During his late adminstraticn, Presi dent Johnson sent to Congress 19 vetoes and 6 “pocket” vetoes, while 16 bills became lews without his signature. Sew* in Brief. Airs Mary E.
