We have re ceived the second number, find its editorials and selections quite inter esting, and, best of all has, already been favored with a liberal share of advertisements. Wo hope that the proprietors may fully realize their ex pectations in establishing a paper at that point, thus enabling them to send out a paper that will always bo wel comed b v the reading public. Geersiu Situation. We did think that the Senate of tho United States had had enough of Gov. Bullock's money, and presence, and that the Georgia Bill would have been disposed of on last Tuesday ; but not so ; we are still out, and unless the Bingham Amendment, or some other of like character, be passed, we hope the good old State, Territory or Mili tary District, or whatever we be, may remain as wo are. While it is thought the Bingham Amendment will bo de feated, wo are inclined t > the opinion that we will not be left to the mercies of such nyen as are leading in the ef forts to make fast tho chains of hatred and oppression on a people who, this day, are as loyal to the Constitution rs are the people of any other section, and believe that some motion, or amendment, having a semblance of law and justice will Ire made, enter tained, and evcnlu illy pass ■ 1. Tli i following dispatch to the Ma con Journal gives the proceedings of last Tuesday. Washington, April 12.—The Geor gia bill being the special order of the day, its consideration was resume 1 in the Senate. Tlie question being first upon tlie amendment offered some days since, by Mr. Wilson, that Senator asked and obtained leave to -withdraw it. Mr. Pomeroy offered an amendment providing that anew election of Sen t t*s and members to the State Legis lature be held in I *72. This was re garded a- the utmost concession the extreme Republicans would make. Mr. Williams offered a substitute for the Bingham amendment, tho pro visions of which would secure the elec tion of anew Legislature in Georgia’ in September next. This amendment also provides that until the election and qualification of a new Legislature, as provided in the substitute, aud tho State is admitted by Congress, tho government thereof shall bo considered provisional only. It is considered certain that the Bingham amendment will be stricken out, as it is objected to by some of tlie moderate Republicans as being too much of a concession. It is expected, however, that the substitute offered by Mr. Williams will bo adopted. It is thought to bo a compromise measure between the Democrats and such of tho Republi cans as are led by Sumner and Drake in the Senate, and Butler and his wing in tile House. Bullock and his aids are bitterly op posing the Williams substitute, as it gives the people of the State an earlier c hance to change tho State govemmet, than was provided fur by the original Butler bill. Should the House bill pass, with the Bingham amendment stricken out and the Williams substitute inserted, it will vitiate all the Senatorial elec tions that have occurred in the Geor gia Legislature, and keep the State from representation in the lower house of Congress until further action by Congress. We have had no mail from Georgia during the last three days. Democratic Victory in Connecticut. —We learn by telegraph that the I lemocrats have once again carried the day in gallant little Connecticut Tho fight was a close and desperate ouo, but Radical valor was compelled to succumb to the superior prowess and doteuninatkm of Democracy.— Gov.

Richard -11. Washington : Wo found on this estate an evidence of insanity, foolishness, disloyalty, or something of that sort. We found that which would shock our Republi can readers beyond measure : A lit tlo way from the mansion, just down the slope within the home grounds, stands one of the old Virginia-built negro cabins of the days of yore. And hero we found “Aunt Charlotte,” a moder nized colored woman, who would weigh between two and three hundred pounds —and as good-natured, jolly, and jo vial as she is fat. Her face is tho very personification ofgood-feeling and hap piness. When she laughs she laughs all over, reminding one of tho happy servants of the o'den time, before mod ern religion had so strewn the thorns of freedom in tho path of tho colored race in the South. In the cabin, re siding with “Aunt Charlotte,” we found her father and mother—venera ble old “Uncle Ned,” with his whiten ing locks, dignified air, aud his good old wife, at the time busily engaged in earing fora grandchild, fat, black, and, as Massachusetts abolitionists would say, “dethidedly thweet” Now there is nothing strange in finding colored people in cabins, in fact, wo have found hundreds of cabins filled with them on this trip. But this case is a peculiar one. “Uncle Ned,” his wife, and their daughter, “Aunt Charlotte,” consider themselves the slaves of Rich ard B. Washington—they refuse to ac cept their freedom—look upon Fis t. oath Amendments generally as hum bugs, and folks who don’t know when they are well off. “Uncle Nod” knows when he is well off, and says : “If anybody ’specs dat I’s gwino to leab my old massa and de cabin which am always bin my home, and good friends who always took good care ob me when I’s sick or well, and dose who lub me and dose I lubs better than life, dey are most mightily mis taken. “De trouble wid dose darkies am just dis—dey’s don’t know when dey’s well off. Dey leal) good homes and go about de country, freezod to death, starved to death, and' kicked to death, and call dat freedom. Now I’s more freedum lieah dan any ob ties yeah fel lahs, and I’m just gwino to lib heah and stay heah, and I’m gwino to help my old massa all I can, and if any ob dose odder niggalis wants to go off and starve to death and lib in rags and poverty, dey can go. And do old ’omau thinks jest as I do and Charlotte thinks so, too. We don’t want nutiin to do wid dem free trash, ’cause dey don’t know when dey’s well off, and dey ain’t been brought upright.” During the war when a party of Federals wore making an attack upon ; the house here, with a view to captur ing relics and mementoes, one of the soldiers, taking offense at something Major Washington said to him, drew a musket, cocked it, and proposed to put a hole through him. Whereupon “Aunt Charlotte,” who was a specta tor, grabbed a brick and, fat as she was, sprang in front of the Northerner and said, “You jes’ shoot dat air gun, you great Yankee coward, anl I’ll mash yer head with dis yeare brick !” Tho soldier gazed in astonishment at the huge proportions of this new ro eruit, who was one of the colored troops that fought nobly ! He lowered his gun, swore a few swears about the in gratitude of the black population, turned upon his heel, and walked a way. On seeing the darkeys about hero, one very much doubts whether free dom has benefited them or not. Rags, and poverty, and a half-starved look generally do not seem to indicate that happiness which the makers of flannel shirts for nigger babies in Abyssinia might expect, considering tho vast ex pense the country has been put to for the liberation of these people, who en joy a snooze in tho sun much better than they do a sight at the picture of Lincoln or the Emancipation procla mation. From here we go to Winchester, from which jwiiit our correspondence will bo resumed. M. M. P. REASONS FOR DRESSIXG PLAINLY OX the lord’r day.— l.

C., April C, 1870. —A telegram from tho Associated Press denies tho truthfulness of a par- ! ugraph in these dispatches relative to j tile President’s proposed amnesty nies- | sage. Your cofrespondent has taken tho trouble to get from the best au thority the truth on this suljeet, and finds what lots heretofore been stated in these dispatches is correct. As was stated bofore, the President informed Senators Johnston, of Virginia, and Boarman, of West Virginia, that ho had prepared a message to Congress recommending universal amnesty, and that he would transmit it to that after tho admission of Texas and Georgia; that, in his opinion, the time for general amnesty had arrived, and that he thought Congress should pass a bill enabling all political offenders to become enfranchised by going to tho nearest < ’ourt, registering and tak ing a proper oath. The publication of those facts aroused tho opponents to general amnesty—among them a few Senators and Representatives—who have been since that time exerting their influences with tho President to lusve the message delayed or set aside altogether. Notwithsfandingfflie unqualified de nial by tho Associated Press of the real facts, it is nevertheless true that tho subject of amnesty has been sever al times talked over by tho President and his Cabinet, aud General Grant adheres to Ills original purpose ; and the draft of a message to Congress on 1 the subject is now lying upon his ta j bio. Meantime accounts of outrages, alleged to have been committed re-! cently in North and South Carolina and Alabama upon colored persons, j have been brought to tho notice of the President by Senator Warner and oth ers, as a reason why the amnesty proc lamation should not now be issued. Senator W arner vouches for the re liability of some of these accounts, whilst others are not credited. Secre tary Fish had an interview with tho Prescient on the subject to-day, and j approves the course jiroposed by the President. General Sherman also ap-j proves the amnesty message, and to day remarked that amnesty Would] tend to soothe the two or three hun dred thousand persons disfranchised, in the South and cause them to assist in putting down lawlessness ; and this class of people would no longer be found saying “We are not citizens, and don’t care if the laws are violated.” Admiral Purtor also remarked that general amnesty ought to be granted at once.— Richmond Itispatch. < oiitsnerciiil Review, oC iltt: Week .\ow t oik, lalnrduv itigtit, April 9, IS7O. Cotton —Receipts of cotton for the week are the same as last week ; al though a tailing off was expected.— lhe total receipts for the expired por tion of the cotton year are 2,443,(XH4 bales, aga nst 1,888,000 bales for the corresponding period of last year—this excess showing clearly the rapidity with which the crop is being market ed. The total exports to date are 1,- 001,000 bales, 1,004,000 bales at the corresponding week of last year. This excess of exports has gone far towards settling foreign indebtedness and pre venting ail outflow of specie. The stock at Havre is 00,000 bales, against 411,000 bales last year. At Liverpool it is 455,000 bales, against 319,000 hales last year. Oil the rest of tho continent of Europe, stands 29,000 bales, against 15,000 bales last year. The stock of American, cotton alloat for Great Britain is 218,000 bales, against 152,000 bales last year. The present crop is generally esti mated at three million bales, worth, at. the average price, about two hundred and fifty millions in gold. Former crops have exceeded the present one in number of pounds, but no crop has ever realized so largo an amount of money. A glance at the above figures footed up will demonstrate the swiftly return ing prosperity of the South. Tragedy at Opelika—Ax Editor Kills a Superintendent of Education. —Rassengers by the West Point train which arrives at half past six P. M. tell us of a tragedy which occurred at Opelika, Ala., yesterday, at noon. It was tho killing of Dr. Summerford, Superintendent of Education of Lee county, by Mr. Howard J. Hamill, one of the editors of the Opelika Locomo tive, and son or nephew of Rev. E. J. j Hamill. Both tho parties concerned wore young men, and without fami lies. Their ages aro about twenty seven years. Tho difficulty arose about newspa per charges. Each had published tho other. They met yesterday at twelve M., near the calaboose, someone hundred and fifty yards in front of tho princi pal hotel. Parties near by saw Suin merl'ord with a cocked pistol in his right hand—the weapon being a small cartridge six shooter. Hamill was in front, leaning with his left hand on a ! stick, his right hand being in his pan- | taloons pocket. Some words passed,! when Hamill suddenly withdrew his 1 hand and fired a cartridge pistol at Summerford. The ball struck him in i the left eye near the nose, killing him ' instantly. Hamill was arrested, car ried into the Court House, and when the train left at four P. M., the Solici tor, Barnes, was endeavoring to post pone a hearing. Summerford’s par ents live in Lee county, and had been sent for. This is all we can learn.— Columbus Sun, B th. A bearded girl has made her ap pearance at Glade Spring depot, Washington county, Va.

Tho Constitution of tho 9th says : The revival of the jioople of tho South do ponds upon the agriculturist. It is, therefore, of moment to every citizen that lie wisely plan for tho futuro He should not by erroneous economy cripple his own resources. His failures involves us all. The independence of the farmer chiof ly consists in tho satisfaction of knowing, that his corn cribs are sufficiently full to supply the staff of life. When this is the case, he is independent as to tho market price of cotton if ho is out of debt. The millions of dollars which are every year sont out of the State to purchase corn and other provisions had better be kept at homo. It woud add to the present comfort of every farmer and planter, and relieve him of the external worry about supplies for tlio futuro. True, an acre planted in corn, or sown in small grain, may not yield as much in money as when planted in cotton. But tho value of cotton varies so much, aud tile plants is subject to so many accidents, as to make it very un reliable, to meet tlm certain demands for food which must n5 met at any cost, no matter how great. A melancholy account comes to Us j from Bullitt county, regarding the wan - dering from home and freezing to ] death of the child of Mr. Philo Twiggs. : It appears that the child, a boy about 8 year old, had a favorite dog, in com puny with which ho was in habit of staying away from home for hours. | Saturday aftornoon the boy called his 1 dog as usual and then started out to spend the afternoon among the hills,! but when night came they did not re- ] turn The parents became alarmed for the safety of their child, and, after j mustering a posse of neighbors, a thor ough search was made of all the sur-! rounding hills, but to no effect, gun- ! day came, and still no news of tlie lost boy, and tho fear became a certainty that tho boy aud dog must have been caught in tho terrible hail storm, and during the night frozen to death. All day iNunday passed, and still no ti dings, out at dayligt yesterday the- dog was found sitting at the door of Mr. Twiggs’ residence, shivering and hun gry. Ho whined, liowled and leaped around until he was fed, and then started back to where his little master was. A party of neigbors followed the dog about four miles, aud, finally beside a large rock, on the banks of Floid’s Flock, they saw the dog stop I hey went to the spot, and there was the lifeless holy ofthe little boy, cold in death. He had wandered around un til he lost his way, and night overtak ing him far from any shelter, he per ished in the storm. The faitful dog had guarded the dead body of his lttlo master untl driven home by cold and hungor. —Louisville Courier.
