DAWSON JOURNAL. |DAW6ON, CA FEB 22 18G7. Pig Iron From Georgia. —The Louisville Democrat of tho 13th Boys: Messrs. Guthiio & Cos., agents, received to day, from the it on mines at Trenton, Georgia, their first invoice of pig iron. Tb§ iron is said to be tff excellent qual ity, and isl now being tested in this city. This ii anew feature in tho exports ct Oeorgia, and promises to add greatly to her other a-d numerous sources of wealth. The Augusta Constitutionalist notices a f athentie and dequeue appeal of the National Isitelliyincer in behalf of the country, which seems just now to be traveling rapidly in the wake of Ward’s ducks, and says : That is splendid, but it is not action ;it is glorious but it g es in to the wind. Tfceoouutry will never be saved by sentimental implnra tion taCongrcßS. The “martyred dead’ are not worth a pinch of snuff to the prosperous living, except for political or buncombe twaddle. Lot tlnrn rip Mr. Intelliycncer ; you may as well sing psalms to a deed mule as [reach virtue to a rotten Congress. The “Sew Plan.” It would hardly be ncsessary for the South to fritter away much time over the new plan for reconstruction, about which the country has been hearing something for the last two or three weeks W T ere the South to take it up at onoe and give a hearty approval to its propo sitions, their ccmplaiccncy would not amount to any anything. A writer in the Baltimore Gazette, of Monday, says the plan is heartily scouted by the radi cal leaders at Washington, and edds: I have not heard of one, even of the mod trate sort, of tie Keputlican party who favors it. Until coerced by the threat ened bankruptcy of the commercial class, es, the prostration oi internal trade and derangement of the whole monetary and business relations cf the country, no plan wiir receive serious considerations that does not embrace the degradation of the people of the South. The organ of the party, (and it would be a mistake to suppose that the Chronicle does net faitbsully foreshadow the purposes of these men,) thus speaks of it.: “It is valuablo simply in that it re organizes the leading features of the new amendment and to a certain ex tent the great principle of universal suf frage, bnt it is too late. It comes at a period who” -i ." a t.j Union in the South hes taken radical ground. The Cotton Tax to Remain. —The tax on tho production of raw cotton is not likly to be taken off, as the Commit tee on Ways andMeans refu e to recom mend an alteration thereof. Well, says the New Orleans Times, though as we have lieretofote said, there is just as much inherent propriety in taxing the production of wheat orcorn as the growth of cotton, and although the tendency of the laws is to stimulate the production of cotton in other countries, it will also tend to drive the manufacture from the North to the South, where it is grown The sign also are, that the English •re turning their attenton to the estab lishment of manufacturers in the South We see reported reently not a few ■venturers of Euglish oipital ia the di rection of cotton and other manufactur ers. There are some attractions to#ard South Carolina; but Georgia[ and Ala bama are also reported by the agents of English houses to hold out syccial invi ting opportunities. The Winchester (Tenn.) Journal eays: The Radicals are to meet in Nashville on the 22d of this month to nominate a candidate for Govenor.' This is a fine joke on Washington’s birthday. Erown low will be the nominee and as a mat ter of course he will be elected by—by •-Well, we all know how and why he will be elected. But if the will of the people, the intelligent and reaiy worthy, oould have expression, he would not be elected by want of about 100,000 votes! Conhovbr Found Guilty. A date from Washington, of the 11th says: Stanford Connover, detective, who fab ricated testimony of the complicity of Jefferson Davis with the Lincoln assas sination plot, has been found guilty of pergury. Who Do thb Kings IJelong To?— The Louisville Courier contains a long list of names of Federal soldiers, whose remains have been recently disinterred near Nashville Ttnnessae, and upon whose persons, were found from one to five gold riDgs each. • Lincoln’s Barber —According to a Washington dispatch of the 11th, Sol omon Johnson, a colored man, formerly President Lincoln’s barber has been ap pointed a first class clerkship in the Treasury Department, at Washirgton, with a desk in the Secretary’s office. A Borne paper, noticing a restau rant in that city, kept by a man nam ed Stewart, accidentally spelled his name Slew-a rat, wbere-rat the Cour ier facetiously intimates that it is not a Chinee* corccrn. 3 Military Government fur the Soatlt. Wo have already hud before <v 1 reader tho Bid of Mr. Sieveut for a re construction cf tho lately seceded States and which hfs passed tie House o r Representatives by a vote of 109 to f •>. “The Philadelphia Age, iu commenting oo the bill, remarks tLat ‘the sword atid bayonet gleam iu each paragraph of the bill, and the shriek and whistle of the shell can be heard in every lino an! sertcnce.’ The States are to bo de stroyed, and the territory constituted in to military distaicts. Each district i to be ruled by a military officer. These military officers are to have power to ot gan'ze military commissions or tribunal, for the purpose of trying offenders.— The constitutions and laws of the S'ate. are to le ignored, and all legislative or judicial proceedings seeking to control said military commissions are to be null and void. Tho Courts of the Uuited States shall have power to is-ue writs of habeas corpus only upon permis in of tho tfficer in command of the district in which said writ or process is to be serv ed. When he refuses tho application, the Courts are powerless. “This is the bill offered by Mr. Ste vens on behalf of tho Radical party. We agree with cur cotemporary ia say ing that the bill is objectionable in all particulars If there is one principle well settled with reference to our theoiy of government, it is that in time of peace the military power should at all times be subservient to the civil authorises. The debates in the Convention which formed tho Constitution of the United States, and also in the conventions which framed the constitutions fer the several States, show how sensitive the people were upon this matter of military interference with their rights and liber— t;es. The Declaration of Rights of this State sets forth that‘the military shall in all cases and at all times, be in strict subordination to the civil power,’ and guards tho citizens from mi itary ruleiu the most soli mu and emphatic manner. This course was pursued ia all the States. .Our fathers had felt the iron hand of military rule in this and other countries. They knew the tendency of military power to overshadow civil rule and make slaves ol the [ eople, and hence, in the most positive and emphat ic terms, they declared, as one of the fundamental principles of this republi can form of government, the doctrine that the ‘military shall in all cases and at all times Le in strict subordination to flift Pinll jr.m*7,- r 9 “Our country is in a state of profound peace at the present 'ime, and yet it is proposed to destroy, by Congressional action, ten States of the Union, and place the military above the civil power in all the Southern section of the na tion. So full and entire is to he the su premacy of the military under tb" hill of Mr, Stevens, that not even the Su .preme Court of the United States can grant a writ of habeas corpus unless per mission be given by a military officer to that effect. Under this bill the power of the army will be as supremo over all the territory indicated as is that of Rus sia in what was onee Poland, and far more so than that of the Imperial forces of Austria iD Hungary at tho present moment. And yet this is one of the plans put forth by the Radicals to set tle the difficulties in our country, anl re store a permanent government to the now unrepresented States. The mili tary once placed in supreme command, it may not be so easy to wrench the sceptiefrom their hands. Ambitious men may long for a continuation of un limited pow r, and then the country will he convulsed again from end to end as it has been during the conflict just ended. Tho movement is full cf danger to civil liberty, and the people should look at the facts presented.” Sherman’s Substitute. The Maeon Telegraph says, there is some oonsolation in seeing old Thad. Stevens floored, even though we may not profit materially by his disaster. The vote of tbe Senate Sunday morn ing, substituting anew measure intro duced by Mr. Shennan for the Military Despotism bill, is important to us in that it shows a radical division among our enemus. Tbe rogues at Washing ton have fallen out, and if the honest men of the South do not gct*their dues j they at least have a prospect of a ma terial mitigation of the fate that was concocted for them in the councils of Radicalism. Tho substitute of Mr. Sherman is equally violativo of the Constitution with the original bill, and, no lesss subversive of the rights and lib erties of the Southern people, but it has the merit of giving us a change of masters for the better, provided it shall be enacted into a law. It would at least be adm'nistered with mercy hy the Pres ident and those whom he could appoint to exercise military sway over us. Another advantage gained by this change of affiirs i? a remote prospect that the whole scheme of the Radical persecution may fail through the dissen sions of the prosecutors, and consequent | inability to agree upon a plan of torture. The denial of all agency in reconstruc tion to President Johnson, n sine qua non with the ultra Radicals. They would almost be willing to see the South j go unpunished, rather than, the I rod in his land. If thereto in tho j lit u o jerstirday on the i all it the! jreuous question—7B to Cl—he an in- ' dicaiii and of the eventual sentiment of j tha; body, the bill can never bo passed i over the veto, and with the failure down ; go s tLelaet desperate expedient of the R pub'.ican [ tfty. Alt r laboring j through two seen ns of congress, with i overwhelming muj riti.s, they ti ll lave i proved themselves utterly incapable ts | recoustructicg the Union and giving j evi u a color of peace and quiet to the j country. It will bo ti e fuiiure ot a | goat p.‘rty, and tho new Cbngriss to ensemble on the 4 h cf March, will b : iu oo better condition for success than those who proceeded them. There will be an increase ■ f R j üblican members but the more they get the griatcr the chances of division. Wo predict tl.at j i oiling tried and left uudor o by this Congress, will ho acc' mp i hdby it successor. Under ordinary c'r uin.tin. ccs the w hole fabric of the party would go to pieces in such a contingency, hut these aee strange time-, and there is no such jtbiiig as calculating diets from causes. Their utter destruction though, eventually, is hut a question of tiun. Tbcro is but cne thing to save them, and that is a grand coup d'etat > iu which the legislative department shall grasp all the powers of government and rule with a despotic hand. To do |tui;>, two things ere indispensable—tbey must get control of the army, and the friends of the Cons:ituUo*n, North and South,must quietly submit lo the outrage. This is then only bopo. Ia legislation they cannot agree among themselves, and it they should agree tho Supreme Court will stand ready to thwart every meas ure. Such ia the situation of affairs. Tho country is drifting rapidly into anarchy nr the worst ot dtsponsors, and can on ly be saved by the prompt interposition ol tbe patriotism and sober s. nse of the' North. Ae*d il must come soon, or it will be two late. Once start the ava lanche, and all human . effort becomes impotent to arrest it. Tho Republi cans having failed, now is the time to rally as a lust resort to the plan of the President. It is just, it is honerable, it is safe, it embodies all hoc:? .ary gu i antocs, it will bring tranquil.ty, and nothing else will or can. A Bill lo IFestroy Civil Govern ment and Erect itJititary Des polivtuv attiseSoutSi. The following is the bill prepared by Senator Williams, of Orogan, and ra* ported to the nouse by tha reconstruc tion Committee through their chairman, Mr. Steves. A more unnecessary and infamous measure to annoy and oppress a bravo but helpless people was never concocted by tyranny. It passed the House on the IStb, by a vote of 109 to 55, and it now goes to tha Senate! Os course it will also pass that body, but we do not belifsve it will receive suffi cient support to carry it over tho Pres ident’s veto. Since tbe surrender, the President has nobly st<-od 1 etween us and, ruin and we havo abiding faith tint he will be there still. It w ll be seen that each paragraph of tbe preamble to the bill contains an enormous lie, and upon the strength and magnitude of these lies, the “Infernal machine is set in motion : A BILL TO PROVIDE FOR THE MORE EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT OF THE IN6UR- RECTIONARY STATES.

[From the Savannah Republican ] At four o’clock, yesterday afternoon, Messrs. Richardson & Barnard, ug’tits of the Savannah and Boston Steam-hip Line, received the following telegram from Boston, announcing the fuss of the “(Jity of Bath” : “Four of the crew arrived at Charles ton teport that die ‘Ci‘y of Bath’ was burned at sea. The pa.ssciioy rs were Mr. Apthorpe and Mrs. Rouble.” Late last evening the following tele -; gram to the agents in this city confirm-; ed tho worst suspicious of tho fate of tho : unfortunate vessel: “Charleston, February 15 — The City of Bath was burned at sea off' Hat- ; ferae—only four lives saved belongng to Boston—the crew of the ship. Sent, j them hy steamer this afternoon to Bos-j ton, via New York Wm Roach.” The following is a description of the | boat: The City of Bath was a screw steam-j ship of 588 tons ,(ne,v measurement,) 1 was built iD Bath, Mo., in 1802. She was 157 feet in length, 26 feet in breadth | anl 20 feet in depth. She was owned principally in Boston, and was insured in different Northern companies ; bad b.en rurnirg with h r cousoit, the William Ti b its, rn t’ o Bostt n line, since February, 1860, and was cotmnan ded by Captain Josef li S Coney, a must experienced and popular officer She was in the government service du riug tbe latter years of tho war, and on acout t of her speed was used as a dis patch b at. She left Boston on the sth inst., in the afternoon, wi ll a veiy heavy anl valuable freight.

There were twenty six persons iu all on hoard, including tho three passengers, to whom we hive refined. The fire broho out in the. coal bun kers, between twelve and one o’clock Sunday morning, the 10th inst., and is believed to have . originated from the burstiug of a hanging lamp suspended over one of tho bunkers. Every effort was made to extinguish it, the Captain working and directing the est wat the sa-nvi time. It gained upon them rapidly, however, and be tween three and feur'o’ef ck the flames burst out from thcforwaid batches, and believing that all further efforts to save her would be useless, the vessel was abandoned. The boats, three in cum bee, were lowered. The passenger* and live of the crew entered the first, a me tellic life boat, which w»s soon afftr wards swamped by striking tbe guards of the steamer, and all on board of it was lost. Another party of seven took possession of the second boat, nod have not since been hcatd from. The metallic life-boa', after being righted, was occupied by Captain Cony, of the City of Bath, tbe Second Mate, aSavati ' nab river Pilot, tho first Steward and four other*. Nine if the errw, inclu ding the Engineer, entered the thirl boat, also a mc'alio one. The boat contain vg the Captain and oil; rs, was soon afterwards capsized, and a'l on board were Ist exec; t the Captain and mate, who were rescued by tbe party in tbe Engineer's boat. On Sunday afternoon the sebo re- Laura 8. Watson was balled) end i, coming to the assis at.ee of the party a high wind prevailing at the time, s! e I'.jliiJcd with the b >at and ovr turned if. Tho boat was six times righted and over turned, and the crew one by one boo >:n ing exhausted, and tbe schooner being temporarily unable’to render them assi.:- ticce on account of tho heavy sea, dr pped off and were drowned. After, desperate exertions four of the crew wero saved. Thoir names.are Charles O. Davis, Patrick Dmnvan, Jeremiah O’Brien ynd Frank Tubo-y.

Watson, and to her r fit,-ers and crow for their humane ex-rlioiis iu rescuing them from a watery grave, and for their uniform kindness to them sinoe the disaster. Mr Davis aljo desires us to say that t v c statem nt made in the Georgetown Times to the effect that Captain Cony was under the influence of liquor at the time of the los3 of the ship, is erroneous. The following is the substance of >he report of Captain Doriiy. On Sunday morning, February 10 b, Cape H’itteras bearing W. S. \V., 35- miles distant, blowing a strong gale and a very sharp sea running from the N. W. 11 A. M., made a vessel on our Ice bow on fire, kept off and ran down to her.

W., about four miles, made a boat on our weather bow, full of men. We raa along until and ad to the leward of them, hauled the jib down, and Lu«cd the schooner under balanco reefed main sail and foresail. The boat rowed across our bow, and before they goI her around,, was astern of us. Wo hove them a line I which they got, the man that had tho steering oar, which wa3 Capt.

So we made sail, wore ship and stood back azaio, did not reach them the first time. W’o made five tacks, twice, wc stood by aud could no; find them, there was snch a heavy sea and one end of the boat was sunk. All but four men were washed pway and drowned.
