Yes, is it ri, ht 7 Is it politic to try
to drivo from the Dtmrcratic ranks any
ind.vidual or j urual ? W e imagine
that our readers and the whole of the
Democracy, excepting a few editors, I
would agree with us in saying it is not. ;
13c it known to all who have not been
informed on tho subject, that there is a
paper being published at Americus, Ga.i
edited by ODe Methodist Presiding El
der, one Baptist preacher and two Chris
tians', and that said pap r is known
and distinguished from all other papers
of this section by reason of its immense
circulation,great r than that cf any other

lies adj >ii the cou ty of Sumter, by
its great popularity, (caused, we sup
pose, from all class a biiDg represented
io tho editorial department,) and by its
expertness in finding out the papers
that have been bought over to the Rad'
icals. Now, these great and talanted
editors heard that their neighbor, Mr
Hancock, the editor of a paper that has
ever opposed Radicalism, did, on a cer
tain occasion, drink a glass of pale ale,
and, at the same tirm?, off red a toast to
the “Model Governor” of Ga. We say
they heard through someone present,
or through the press, that such was the
case—noQe of them were at this foist;
and, occupying the position in the vicin
ity of E.der, preacher aud Christian,
and this man, Mr. Hanetck, boing their
neighbor, they at once began to

their mighbir, lie is one of our broth

a word of council and cheer in Lis car.
Perhaps ho, like a great many, may
Lave been indu'gieg in a social glass: to
say the hast of it, he is our neighbor,
and the Democratic party can’t well
spare one of its journals, and wo will
act out tbc golden rule : “Do unto oth
ers a3 we would have them do uuto us.”
Well, this is a legitimate conclusion
for all to come to who know the editors
of the Courier. Did they doit? De
it sad to their shame they did not, but
instead, caught at the indiscretion of
their neighbor aud brother, and took up
the war cub and w ilded it in such a
manner as would, bad they their way,
and wish, drive Bro. Hancock from
the Democratic par'y and away from
Americas Ob, how charitable! what
a display of the Christian cbarctcr !
Verily, strange things do happen in
this day of progress, in this the land of
Christians, in this down-trodden South

*We visited the Forest City of Geor
gia, the past week, and saw much live
activity in all the different brunches of
business. Bay street is fast building
up with first class business houses, and
presents the same appearance as was
to be seen in ante helium limes Wo
are proud to know that the seaport
city of Georgia is doing a larger cot
ton business than any other of the
South. This speaks much for her
merchant* and fir that much abased
and cursed Central llail Road. If
Savannah could but have a few mil-
I'ona of banking capital from Eng
land, build up and enlarge direct trade,
could ship cotton without hav'mg to
pay New York for the privilege, she
would not ouly be the first city of the
South in her cotton trade, but in the
wholesale trade of Dry Goods, Boots,
Shoes, Hardware, and all other good* j
needed by our retail merchants
There is now quite a number of
fi rt-class jobbing houses, doing a
purge business, and on as favorable
terms ns do tt.e merchants of New
There is no rcuson why Savannah
should not seil ns cheep und give us
goed terms uh do tho jobbers further
East, and we were ussured that all
that was needed to prove this to our
merchants was n trial

Savannah- fifteen dollars, with board

four or five days, at a cost cf less than
thirty dollars, und wo ask of our mer
chants to visit our seaport during the
winter and see lor yourselves Wo
were a little surprised to see that some
of the largest houses had set aside
so much fur advertising (and a small
sum it was) and that amount had been
expended before the Journal claimed
its share. Wo will try to be a little
sooner next season. A few c f her
merchants appreciate our section and
ask iu our columns to be recollected
when goods m thoir line is needed.

of her. We have not spaco to speak

Myron E. Weston, who gave his life!
for the lost cause. Learning that the
the Masonic Order had a burial ground
for the burial of strange brothers, and
knowing ho was one of tfie order, wo
asked of the kiud, gentlemanly keeper
of the Cemetery to show us tho plat
of this Masonic, burial ground, and
found his name there recorded. We
repaired to the spot and looked upon
•the little mound, under which rests
the bone& of one who did all he could
for his country; of a kind husband
and father, of a brother indeed and in
truth, of one who was dear to us and
his many friend-; and could but ask
the good Lord to bless those of his
strange brothers w ho cared for him in
flits last days, and gavo him so decent
a burial in their beautiful lot-
One of Savannah’s fair and noble
ones attended and nursed him,
and wrote his family of his death, but
we could not recollect her name. We
would be glad to see her and thank
her for the interest manifested, and at
tention given to a stranger. May the
blessings of the kind Father rest on
her and all others of the fair ones of
the South who gave so much lime, so
much money, so much of all they pos
sensed to add to tho comforts of those
of our heroes who died away from
home.

Mr. Editor: —l have been no lit'le
amused of late, in noting the periodica'
twisting and acrewing of certain jjur
nals in the country in relation to the
publication of ‘Bullock’s Proclamations.’
If any Democratic paper should happen
to receive instruciions to give publicity
to these ofEoisal advertisements, be is at
once branded as a renegade* from the
true principles if Democracy, aod taint
ed with Radicalism, and been bap
tised during the late “Press Excursion.’’
I am not disposed to become a party to
this ridiculous controversy; but, such
charges made against men, who are
known in Georgia, as honrstand true in
advocating the fundamental principles of
the Democratic Party is both contempt
ible sntf unworthy of notice. 1 have
closely observed the movements of those
editors who have made themselves thus
prominent, and every one of them have
been forgotten in the orders of Gov
Bullock - “that’s what the matter Han
nah I” The principles of such men are
always measured by their pockets. It is
due the people of Georgia that these
Proclamations should be known every
where over the State, and if al no in
serted in Radical papers (there being but
two,} injustice would have been done to
all parties. The Governor bus only
discharged his duty when be ordered
their publication in Democratic papers,
and certainly manifested some discre
tion in discriminating between common
and leading journals, rather than those
of a mushroon existence, and I sboult,
were I an editor of one of these Demo
era ic journals, publish every ODe o'
them, reap ibe reward of labors, and let
the smaller fry write for glory and con
tinue to print on trust.

Neutrality Lnut-Cubii, dec.
The Savannah Republican sneaking
of the Cuban struggle says : We have
no war to make upon the Neutrality
laws in their true and just interpreta
tion They were designed to keep the
country out of entanglements with for
eign powers so far av may he consist
ent with human justice and the eternal
principles of right. They were never
intended to perpetuate despotisms, or
to array the government on the side of
European nations that wish to enslave
or govern against their w ill any por
tion of the people of this hemisphere.
When used for that purpose, they are
at war with the rights of man, as re
cognized in our theory of government
and are made a law of inhumanity and
oppression to which no enlightened
Christian nation should give its sane
tion.
Then, let our government rise to the
dignify of its groat mission ss the patron
and friend of human freedom in this
Western World. Let it banish all un
worthy fears, and if its cilixeDs wish to
emigrate to Cuba to help work out and
enj jy its freedom against the bayonets
of foreign legions, taking the responsi
bility, in the name of all that is fair and
right, let them go. Spain may be de
spoiled of a province which she has no
right to oppress, but a great people will
have achieved their liberties. Let Amer
ican freemen contemplate the contrast
aud ask themselves iD all conscience, in
which scale they should throw their in
fluence.
The present war has changed the
whole aspect of the case. The issue
now is not whether Cuba shall remain
a dependency of Spain with all her for
mer relations with that government re
established, had as they were; but wheth
er she shall be free and iudenendont, on
the one hand, or relapse into the iron
grasp of a nation cruel and remorseless
in ail her history, and with the natural
ferocity of her nature inflamed by ha
tred and rebellion on the part of her uo
willing subjects. This journal never
yet counselled a violation of law, but we
can at least insist that the government
administer the law ia its true spirit, and
not as an instrument for riveting the
chains of a gallant people with the aid
of foreign mercenaries. In this case the
peril is imminent, and we have no hesi
tation in calling upon both government
and people to fly to the rescue.
It is believed in Washington that
Tcnuessee will revoke its action on the
fourteenth amendment, and that Texas
will not ratify (he fifteenth.

Depnly of Bibb County:
Wherkas, At the A/av Term, A. D-, 1869,
of the Superior Court held iu and ior the
county ol Bibb, Henrietta Greer was tried
tor and convicted of the crime of murder,
and was therefore sentenced by the Judge
presiding at said Couit, to be hanged by tiie
neck until dead, on the 23d day ol July
thereafter ; and
Whereas, The sa : d Henrietta Greer has
been reprieved until the 17th day of Septem
ber instant, upon the representation of her
attorney and other respectable citizens, and
to the end that tiie testimony, Jacts and cir
cumstances produced upon her trial, might
receive a thorougn aud careful iuvesrgatiou ;
aud
Whereas, Upon examination of tho re
cord in said case, it appears that the testimo
ny against the condemned was wholly
cniuiianii.il, and that her conviction was
tounded upon her own confession*, which
confessions, when taken together, are comra
dictorv, and evince the ii fluence oi tear, and
menial imbecility ; and
Whereas, The perfect social intimacy of
tho condemned with the deceased precludes
tiie probability of any malice aforethought,
and raised a strong presumption that the
blows which resulted in death were struck in
the heat of passion ; aud
Whereas, It has beeu made known to me
that the condemned was brought to liial
when the public mind was milch excited, and
the pressure of public opinion for conviction
was great, and in addition lo tiie tact, that
Lite counsel appointed to defend the said
Henrietta Greer, at the time of her trial, is
sai l to have been young and inexperienced,
and failed to present the evidence in its
pioper bearing to the jury:
Now, therefoie, iu consideration of the
facts aud circumstances aforesaid, aud to the
end that impartial justice may he done, I,
Rufus B. Bullock, Governor and Contmauder
