The 'liuies It wnu’d j uzzle the most astute pol itieiun to keep such u record of the times in which vve live, as might l»o truthfully called a history of the American Nation. It is, really, a ques tion whether such a nati n exists.— Hut we deem it a public duty—and it is most a suredly our desire—lo -do v hat we can through the columns of our Journal in a : d of the great object ■of the restorat’on of our Republic to . her former status. In the quetionsj which have of late disturbed the pub lic mind ia this sccti >n creating un necessary prejudices, and calling forth unbecoming and hurtful abuse of per sons whose ideas suggested action which was considered by the masses pn mature, we have taken no part whatever, —anticipate g what has now taken place, and knowing that action on our part, before it did take place— whether that action be in conformity to Radical w ill or no--would not in the least change the final result. The qutsiion was, once, whether or not the negro should v te in the South. Trie question now is whether the whit’ man shall voto. The question of call ing a convention ha« been taken out of our hands by Congress The Conven tion lias been provided for. And, in fact there cannot be many questions to divide on in tire convention—tor Con gress has indirectly laid down a plan < f action for it. For i xcept its action please Congress, it will be a nulli'y. A Convention will certainly be held ly somebody in Georgia—a State Con st tution will certainly be framed by someb dy These things —if the sound ingot the last trump is delayed a suf ficient 1 ngth of time—are inevitable. Although hundreds of our best and most experienced Legislators ere de nied the light of participation in this reorganization ; yet the great mass of the people are left free to act; and the question cun now present itself in.but one form, viz: Wil we vote with the negroes, participate in, and control vir tua'ly the Convention—frame a c nsti tution that will protect our local rights and save us from the condition of Ten nessee, under the dangerous l u'o of Had.cal fanaticism—and thereby open up a charnel through which vve may a'least hope tint time will finally bring complete restoration, and place every citizen in possession of the inale anab'e rights of an American citizen? Or, will we allow a blinded j#ejudi>e to prevent our voting or participate p now, in order that our negroes may be led by those dangerous emissaries now known a “loyal Southerners/' to frame 6uch a Constitution as will preclude the pos ibility of our partioipati n in politics in future ? Since the former is the onlv ration al course in our power, let us pursue it with all our might. Although Presi dent Johnson has vetoed the action of Congress bringing about this state of thi igs; it is nevertheless tho law of the land, in his estimation, and he has ex, ressed iiis determination tq carry it cut to the letter. A Senator in Congress, only last Monday expressed the belief that Hud ical Senators could be secured from every Southern State except Virginia. Now their only hope of accomplishing this end will be the inaction of those who are yet left free to act. We see a writer in the negro papier at Augus ta recommends Old SaDdy Murray, wno has bees a piutrified 6oro in our jvo’ilical body ever elnce the springmg of the questions which led to the dis solution of the Union; for one ot our representatives from Georgia. Will ar.v man in the Slate sufler her to be disgraced by such men, when he could prevent it? Ce.tainly not. Then let us see to it that men are sent to (he Convention and to Congress afterwards, who represent the true sentiments of the peopile. And in vot ing let us drive away g’oom with the inspiring hope that our loved old Get r gia will, ere long, take her place, nc t only as the Empire Sta e of the South but ae tbs brightest star in theconste 1 - l»tion o! State Sovereignties. Fbost and Ice at Columbus — The Enquirer < f the 19th says : Un Sun day morning last there was ice and a thin frozen crust on lately ploughed ground—we saw both ; and on Mon day morning there was a heavy white frost. No doubt some of the fruit was killed, and more of it injured— but we still hope there will be a suffi ciency of the early-blooming frut, such ns preaches and plums. It is hardly probable that tho apple crop has yet been much injured. All tender garden vegetation, not specially protected, IBU-t have suflered. kimii liters beSliifc Qcliveeii ITs f Under tin operation of 0 e Military Bill all male ciiiz-ns of the Siuth over th. nty-'nc years of .ig'',wbo are not dis qualified by some of is provhiins, arc uutboiizid to vote io our State and couo U|el< ctiocs. A large class of persons thus suddenly cLfranthis and were for. mc-rlv our slaves, tho public policy during the peri, and of tbiir slavery forbid the ir intellectual culture. They are oonscquenly, as a class, in a sta’e of i deepest ignorance and unfit to cxeiciae intelligently and wisely the piivdege e nferred upin th’m without the as i sistanco o’ the more intelligent class of white people whese [revious participa tiuDs in and conduct of the afi iire of tbc the State renders them peculiarly appro priate advisers of theso black people I There seems says the Chronic'c & Sen tinel, to be an ilea in the minds cf the colored people that their former in s’ers and friends are opposod to their exercis ing the right of votiug and that they will place ob.-taclos in their way to prevent their full and Leo or j lymcnt of this high privilege. We belitvo that the colored peoplo whd entertain this view are seriously mbtikeo. The South ern people are tot disposed to even question their right to vote under the Sherman Bill. I is true, that a large majority of our people think this Mid* den enfraLchisem nt of the colored poo* pie, without previous preparations, was unwise ; but, with tho exception of a few, and they of a certain class which do not now nor never did Lave a great deal of influence, the Southern whites arc not only wiiliDg but are anxious that the colored people should be fully and amply protected anl secured in their right to vote. We can see no reason why thirc should not be perfect harmo ny and concert of action between the two classes. They understand each olh. cr—their r, spcctive peculiarities and their pr ejudices—and are, therefore, better prepared to bear with patience and charity those little ccceutricities of manner and habit which exists to a cer tain extent in the ranks of toth classes. But the main reason why there should be no conflict between them is to be found iu the fact that they are mutually dependent upon each other, each in Lis own Bphcre, for success in tho various departments of trade and bu siness. One class owns the land, the other furnishes tho bone and muscle which al me gives value to that laud and enables both to reap from its bo som the neccsary productions for the support of animai life, and secure the comforts and luxuries which spring from the cultivation of the soil. If the white peoplo refuse to give the colored people employment, loss ami suffering will be entriled cn botb. So if tho colored people decline to 6ervc and labor Hr the whit s, then both classes will likewise suffer. 1 hey are mutually dependent upon each other, and neither can pros per wh.le the other is dej r s ed. 'J h s being true as to tboir materiaj can there be any good reason wby they should not co-operate in the ! the higher and nobler work cf giving j laws to and shaping tho institutions of the country. In this,*both classes are interested in the same way, and to the same ex’ent. Roth classes desire that law and order should pacvail, and that ihe Government sh<uld bo so conducted as to afford full and equal protection to all Cuu this bo better secured than by the hearty co-operation of all those, of each class, who are to be affected by the opperation, ts that Government ? We ;hiuk not. We have been induced to make the above reflections, by reading the ac count of the late meeting in Co!unibia j iu which the two races came together in fiiendship and good will and temper atdy discussed the great question of the day. Former master and slave met side by side on a platform of political equal ity, and pledged each other that as they had been friends in the pa6t, they would continue to he friends iu tbe future This exhibition of good-will and frater- ( nity between the white and o dored peo. pie of Columbia should encourage us to hope that the same feeling exists in this (ommunity, and that if a fair expression of tho public sentiment could bo obtain- j cd it would show the same feeling of warmest friendship. Would it not be j well to have a meeting of tbe white and and colored people of this city, to consult j together for the pulio weal ? Let the coloied people hear from rur leading citizens the edinntion in which they arc held Will not Govcnor J.ihnsoD, i Judge Starnes, Judge Gibson and oth ers of our most distinguished citizens: meet the colored people and give them their views upon the prerent sta'us of affairs? We believe that such a meet-! ing would be gratifying to the best of | our colored people and be productive of much g. od. Who will move in tbe matter? —Any until Chronicle & Sent. Southern Relief in Phiadelpiiia. —A meeting was held at the Biard of Trade Itooms Friday morning to inau I gurate measures to relieve the suffering in the Sou b. Mayor McMitbael pre sided. Resolutions were adopted ex pressing sympathy with the destitute people of tl e South, and a committee appointed to collect in iney and supplies j and superintend their distribution. VETO OF TIIESMTEEMEA. T,ll. DILL. Washington, March 23.—Tbe Pres blent today returned lo Congress the Supplemental Military bill with his ob j actions. Tbe President says: The bill pro videß for ele itions in ten States for the pnrjmse of making constitutions for the same, bu: all the elections, while the original bill remains in force, must eorne within its restrictions. Pr.lin i nary to the elections cominiss'or.ers of registration are to bo appointed, and unregi tered persons will not be allow ed to vote. IVelimin-ry to reg'stra ti >n, a vague oath that tho applicant I has not been dbfrancliised by pirtici pntion in the rebellious is required The af plicant for registration must de cidu this quo tion for himself. This is a f arfui responsibility, for though the bill does not assign perjury nor fix penalties for mistaken swearing, one must not forget that martial law pre vails, and that the affiant is responsi i ble to a military commission without previous presentments by a grand ju ry. The military commander deter m’nes what is an offense, and pre scribes the purrshmeut Tbe fourth section provides that the military commanders shall appoint tho necessary boards of registration, each to consist of three loyal persons, who may be military officers, citizens of tho State, or strangers. These boards, ex ercieing important functions and inves ted with unlimited discretion, decide questions and mako returns, and what ever errors or frauds may be commit ted are to pa«s unquestioned. By such measures the conventions of delegates are to bo constituted, and these delegates are to speak for the people. Common justice requires that they should have authority from the people, but no convention, so constitu ted, will in any sense, represent the wishes of tho people, for, under all the embracing exceptions and the uncer tainty wlTch tbe disfranchising clause leaves open, tho groat body of the peo ple may be excluded from the polls. For the Dawson Journal. Duty to tiotl Before Peace to tlic Country. Many courses arc pointed out f r the people to pursue the S uth iu her depressed and almost hopeless condition—in order that peace and pros perity may bo restored. Ia my esti nia’ios, none is so eligible as that which points to God and a returning to right eousness This may be deemed by some as easy and cffec'ua], but the history of the Isralites and Jewish nation, (which is given in tho word of God) as well as the history of man generel!y,go to show that this is a great wo»k, a bard task— till man is lightened and sufficiently humbled. A man canQOt be penitent for a wrong, until he can sec it—with out a rule by which we know right from w rong, we cannot see wrong—there is no sin implied where there is no law yet a violation of law is sin. Thus then wc are convicted of sin or wrong, when we take our acts to the law, and they do not measure up to the demands of the law, but when we try oar acts by an arbitrament of our minds, we are often not convicted of sin, tb' ugh the wrong has been committed. TLis is irue with the best of men. Witness the case of David in killing Uriah, and Peter in denying Christ. Therefore in exhorting the nation to be humble, repent, and turn to God, let us exhort the people to bring their acts to the law of God, aud try them by that law It is not enough for us to say, God has suffered the war with all its consequent evils to come upon us to humble us> and that we should repent and be hum ble ; or to 6ay the love of money is the root of all evil ; (and that we manifest tho same love or thirst for money as we did before the war or the impending evils now over us.) I say this io not enough, for who can be persauded tbat it is wrong to strive, even impetuously, ! after money, aod then use tbat money ' ai be pleases, it being his own, unless ' hi can seo wherein God has required otherwise of him Rut when he can see tbat G>d has required of man, that he should love God with all the soul , mind and strenylh, and bis neighbor as himsel/, and feel the force of that requisition, then he may see bis wrong and repent, for what rational man docs not know, that if the heart and soul is full of the love of money, there is no room for tho love of God or his neighbor. Hence we do not render to God what is due to Him in worship, repentance and humil ity ; nor our neighbor what is due lo ! him, ia foibearance, relief, aud comfort. Rut on the other hand, let the soul and heart be full of tbe love of God, and there is no room for the love of money. WitDcss the case cf the first Christians in the kingdom of Christ. We do not hear that they were either commanded or exhorted to sell what they had, and distribute equally to the poor and all alike—how then came tLis novel act, so contrary to the common couse of man ? Doubtless it was because their hearts w.refull of the love of God, that t a r red out the love of money* This is precisely wbat Christ required of the young man who went away sorrowful: preferring bis lave for money to treas ure iu Heaven. TLeicf .ro when we ex hort men to iulu-try and economy in tb'.ir domestic affiir.», aud in their in tercourse in tho w rid, to put away pompus show, aid all superfluity cf haughtiness in dress etc., iu.d they sty what then shall wo do with the money ? Answer; tike the example of tho early Christians, let the love of money out of the heart, and the love of Christ iD (that love of Christ was even unto suf fering, scoffing, scurging unto death for poor sinL ers) aod then looa round and you will behold the thousand cases of poor w idows and orphans, whose suffer ings perhaps have been augmented four fold, by the calami ous effects of the war. And who knows but these cases of suffering iuDocence, so universally through every neighborhood iu the land a»e in some way, a test of our obe dience to God. And who c»d say, if the minds of ihe people, as the heart of one man, were turned to tbe relief of this state of suf fering, that before tLis relief was fully given, peaoe, prosperity and harmony would not be restored to the nation. It would be proof that the love of God, was in the heart; it would be evidence of the Spirit of God, producing in us love to our neighbor—evidence of gen tlencs., goodness, long-suffering, faith, meekness and temperance ; and joy and peace, the fruit. Against suoh there is no law, and consequently no suffering of condemnation. Let us acknowledge God’s supreme right to rule; and that no act, however great or small, can take plane without coming uuder his cupcr vision, aud by his perinUsiuD. God is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever, of ono mind, and who can turn him ? plenteous in mercy, and of long forbear, ance, forgiving sins and upholding the weak. It does not become us, there fore, who put our trust in him, to labor under slavish fear for if God be for us who can be against us, to prevail over us. He who parted the waves of the Red sea, and drove her raging billows back, and made a passage through it for Israel to pa-s through dry shod, and overthrew Pharaoh and his host for pre suming to go through tho passage God had made for bis people—lie who de livered G diah into tbe hands of David, an 1 who delivered Israel from the mighty host of tbe enemy by tho Land of Jonathan and his armor bearer, can save Ui —liis hand is net Wcak.neJ, his arm it no 1 shortened, even to-day it ig Al mighty Omnipotent to deliver, though in an unseen way. TLer. lore let us submit to Him, trusting in his mercies It may be He will look ou our afll cti ,ns aud his wrath turn from us ; with u> his mercies the nation is doomed, and to what extent we cannot tell, the wis dom of min and the power Os min are not sufficient for the crisis—lot jis feel ; our impotency and then we can give Him all praise for dcliv. reuco. lie will not have half honor, let us impl ire him for wisdom to act prudently. I). Letter from Senator Sherman. The Mac m Journal and Messenger, publishes tbe following letter to W K. DeGraffenried, of Macon, in re sponse to one addressed to him by Sen. ator SbermaD. The letter breathes a magnanimous spirit, and will Lave a good iffect upon the popular mind at the South jmt at (his firm : U. 8. Senate CtiAjinF.n, ) Washington, Mareh 12, 1867 j Dbab Sir :—Your letter of the Bth iust., has been received. The hill you referred lo was passed in the earnest hope tiiat it will tend to the full restora tion of all the States to all their rights in the Uuion. The sixth section 1 think too harsh; but it was put in in the House as tbc result of opposition from both extremes. At tbe r< quest of large numbers from ihe South, we are pacing a supplementary act to provide machin ery of reconstruction. The original bill left all this to each State, bnt there was danger of double organization and conventions, and therefore, to avoid further strife or difference, this new act will be pss-ed. It is merely a scaffold ing. My earnest conviction is, that the South should not forego this opportuni ty to be restored to representation ; and you may rely upon it, that a majority in botb houses will adhere to this offer, and execute it in good faith, aud to the letter, if your people will do likewise. Neither section cjd be prosperous while tbe present condition of military sur veilance prevails. You can Io as you please with this. Very truly yours, John Sherman. Tiie Indian War.—The New York Herald’s special, says the expedition against the hostile Indians of Kansas and Nebraska, under command of Major General Hancock, is fully ovuipped and supplied, and will start from Fort Leav. enworth on the 16th. Gen. Hancock orders all trains to be argaDized for defense by electing a Cap tain and other tfficers, and organizing tbe teamsters and all others belonging to the train iu*o one or more companies No trains are to fcc allowed to pass into the Indian country which number less than 20 wagons and 30 armed men W be never an attack iB made by Indians upon any train pursuing the overland routes, the commanding officer of the nearest irilitary post is directed to fur nish prompt assistence. Ge.icral Butler is continually keep ing up a fight in Congress —Better than be did while in the army. West Florida Annexation— Ono of the editors cf tho Montgomery Mail writes from Pensacol* m the 3d: The quo-tion of annexing West Flor ida lo Alabama is being sorb usly enter tained, and will meet the unanimous wishes of the peo;!o cf this section If tbe military, hilt lecomes a law, it is held tint Alabama, when the frsmts her constitution and asks admission, should »‘k it with her e stern boundary on the Chattahoochee and her southern boundary on the Gulf, embracing Pcn sieula. It. is held that should the pop ulation of the now section embraced in the new boundary vote with anything like unanimity for such annexutioD, (Yngress should not refuse to acquie oe. j Nature intended Pensacola as the ally i of Alabama. Tbc connocliin with Flor j ida is fictitious, and detrimental to her i interests.

Union Candidates— Wo abserve from an article in the Griffin Star of yesterday, that a correspondent of the Loyal Georgian, at Augusta, has uomi ted Alexander G. Murray, of Spauld ing, and Judge Garnett Andrews, of Wilkes, as “Union candidates for U. S. Senators from Georgia.” Sorry to see oar old \Y ilkes ccuaty friend’s name put in such had company, and feel sure he has no approval for such use of it. •Ye tv •Sffvertiscweti ts.
