Thia, is no doubt the final culmina

it generally is in such cases— a recoil

The Nashville correspondent of the ;

recent Congressional banquet at Nash-1

Government might repo t confidence.

nr. Johnson's S|*eccli iu the
Scuutc.
In Congress ou the 4th, Mr. Johnson
proceeded to make a speech on the bil]
before the Senate. He said he bad ad
vised the Executive to issue age neral
proclamation of amnesty, and had en
deavored, so fares he was able, to bring
it about, bet the Executive had not seen
proper to do so. Some of the first ju
r’u‘s of the country, of their members
of the Republican party, and some of
the best jurists of Englaud had express
ed the opinion that the moment bellig
erm' r'ghls were granted tbo commis
sion of treason was impossible, if this
point alone was brought before the Su
preme Court. Wiiat this decision
would be he could not say, but on the
other point the right of a State to re
cede h3 did n'Udcubtfor an instant,
but would decido that there was no
right. If a proclamation of amnesty
had been issued, and no trills for trea
son had taken place—the first was due to
the President, the latter was not his
fault—a man of delict to frame would
r.ot have been hell immured in prison
who bad been called to preside over their
destinies by six millions of people. If
this thing bad happened in any other
country, it would have been described as
an act of extreme cruelty. Howard
said the opinion of the two offers of Mr.
Johnson bad prevented tbe trial of Mr.
Davis from taking place. Johnson said
that Mr. Davie was ready to be deliver
ed up to the marshal of the court wbicb
is authorized to try him. Tbe prisoner
p titioned f r trial, but the court io
whose circuit bo was in refused to rc
ce vo him, on the ground that bo could
B9tJ"lnhft 1 4ffirt tne pilfer Justice 'couTJ
not preside becauso Congress Lad chang
ed tbe circuit, Johnson said no matter
wbose f iult it was, it was a bl t on
American civilization that the prisoner
waa retained, and if, in Li.t delicate
state, he should die, (ho country would
be responsible for his death. Johnson
said had he been President he should
have pardoned him long since.
The upright sc ion of tho S iprome
Court bas inspired the country with new
hope of a speedy trarqullizat; >n. Tbe
revolutionary proceedings of Congress,
are promised a check which bas been
littc coun'cd on. Tbe territorializing
scheme cannot be so contrived a; to pass
tbe judicial test of constitutionality, and
the various laws which may essay to de
prive States of their rrghts will be pro
nounced null. We think tbe people ol
the South ought to arrange for tbo qui
et assertion of their rights before tLe
oourts, and call upon the judges to say
whether it is lawful to tax without rep
resentation, or whether a congress which
excludes the represetatives of ten States
is a lawful authority.

his sanctum after an abscence of some

Tiie Great Mission of tub South.
—An influential Northern contempora
ry says : “The refusal of the South
ern people to concur in amendments to
the Constitution will preserve that iu
strument as a rallying point for tho
friends of republican liberty.”
It is even so. The last hopo of re
publican liberty on the American conti
cont now rests with the South, crush
ed and tyrannized over as she is, and
she should not forget her high and
holy mission To accomplish it ihe
has only to ttand still, and say no.

there is a iirmt, wisely observed liith j

TiIE falling market for gild has bceD
attributed by some, to rumors that tbe
Treasury was selling gold, and that tbo
Committee ou Ways and Means would
rejort a bill providing for regular go] 1
sales. The jayment of ten millions of
interert in g“!d ou the Ist January, and
sabs by individual) who anticipate a
further fall, will serve to weaken the
market. But the chief cause of tu''
decliue may be Lund io the light im
portations, the amount of sdiieli will not
be inert ajed for some time.

New Year’s hay at Augusta
The Chronicle & Sedtinel of tho 3d
says: New Year’s Day was neoessarily
observed in a remarkably quiet way.—
cd and accoutred freedmen were out the
greater part of tbe day, trying to cele
brate what they term, ‘‘Emancipation
Anniversary.” After the parade was
over, the crowd joined in a large “smig
gen,” whbh had the effect of making
them belligerently inclined, whereupon
a number cf them were arrested an 1
marched to tbe City Ilail, as violators
of the invincible eighteenth secticn.
The Atlanta Intelligencer says that
not a day passes but large numbers of
freedmen take their departure westwtrd
over the State road—that not less than
a thousand per week arc thus trjasport
cd on their way rejoicing, to the rich
Mifwissippi bottoms. They a?e collect*
cd up in various sections by agents, and
it is saiif that all Sorts es inducements
are offered to them. A group may be

There is a point in what follows,
from the New York ’World, which
blustering Yankees would do well if
they would only put it in their pij cs
and smoke it:
“We of the North discredit our own
valor when we disparage or bebttle
that of the South. Our endless mus
ter-rolls, our colossal debt, our sum
moning the negroes to our aid, area
satire upon our manhood, un'esa the
enemy who so long withstood us
enemy so inferior in numbers and every
milituiy resourco—was endowed with
great qualities."

The following ktter frun \V. J. Hill,

that paper of the 1 Till ulr, gives an in
teresting account of a fight bit ween a
party ot Indians and an overland st'g
uua.i-d, which 'oik place on the B’h of
November, between Humb lit, Utah
and tbo i Try :
“On the cf h inst., about 10 o’clock
A. M., the llumholdt Mage, on ita way
to Virginia, when within iV'ur miles o f
;he Owhyhee Firry, was ait'ckod by
Indiars. There wire six persi.'os on
board—Waltermire,driver; James Mc-
Rhea, cuard; sn l four passcoL'ds,
named J. Holland, P. Casey, D. II r

not suspect danger near, when they were
fired into by a party of Indians, who

stage %
‘ Wash, put his favorite mustang
down (o their greatest speed, and would
have succeeded in reaching the ferry
without more injury than what wif
causrd by she first volley, but there was
another party of Indiana on horseback,
further along, who kept shooting a>
them and striving to head tbem efi and
surround them, while the party that
first fired on them were coming up be
hind. With steady nerve, W»rh run
hir horses, while Mcßae fought tht
red devils, aud keepiug them at bay for
a distance cf two miles, until one of the
wheel h(Tjfß was shot dead, and two
others 1 aJIy wounded. This, cf course
stopped the stage. When the first vol
Icy was fired, \V iloox, who was setting
ou the iroat seat, received Lis death
wound by a bullet which entered his
right Lrea-t near tbo nipple, and pars
ing out at his back, also slnkfng Wash
iu the side, infl cieda slight, though
ruthet painful wound. Wile x ex
claimed ‘-Oh, my God, I’m killed," ari i
his bead sank ovrr on Iliriington’o
knee, where he breathed his last.
‘•Harrington was shot in the left hip,
the bullet ranging up and pcs,ing out
at bis side, going through some
six inches of rnnrti", and producing a
bad fl sb wound, but it is not coesid, red
dangerous. When ihe horse fill dead,
the boys unhitched the other three, one
cf them getting away from them. They
then started for tbe ferry, about two!
miles distant; leaving Wilcox dead in |
the stage, together with the baggage,!
mail cto. 'i he Indians seemod de:e.-
rnined to prevent their escape, and con
tinued shooting at them ; but Barring- j
ton with great difficulty hobbled ah ng,
and they reached tho ferry about
12 o’clock completely tired cut. Four
of us from the station, with Seargent j
Brown and eleven men who are sta
tioned here, immediately hastened to
the scene of action, but the red and vils
had already completed their work and
escaped. Ttiey dragged Wilcox from j
the stage, stripped, scalped him, aud
cut his tii art out; also taking with
them ail the blankets etc. belonging to
the passengers, and cutting the mail,
and seattei ing tbe letters etc among
the sage brush. Wc took the body of
Wilerx down to the ferry, where it wts
dceeutly interred by tbo side if tha riv
er. Harrington is here aud lit wounds ;

Holland, tshereals), taking care ef
him.
It is a fact to be lamented that the
pastcDgers were not armed. They all
concur iu be3towing great praise on
the driver and guard, by whot-e presence
of mind and uufiiuefnug bravery, the
remaining lives of all the party, were in
all probability saved. The stage is
running all light, and the indefatiga

TVork for t!ic Month.
The ruinouv drought of last year, tbe
great scarcity ond high price of food, in
all pVcB not directly upon the line 6 of

b‘ taken into consideration, id pi'chicg
tho crop tho current year. Let us con
tract tbe area planted in cotton to these
soils naturtlly rich, or which it is in nur

for all, we must plow deeper, and ma

that, few farmers will employ more than
eight or ten hands—just what they can
