DAWSON GA, APRIL 5, 1867.
Akciil«.
Mr. E'.am Johnson, Power’s Sta
tion, ii an authorized agent for this pa
p r Contracts made 01 receipts given
by him will be ratified by the proprie
tors.
Ely Otto, Esq , of Savannah Ga , is
onr agent for that city.
T. P. Slider, Esq., is our agent for
Charleston, S. C.
Rhode Island. —Strange to say a
man, by name Sutler, has been found in
Rhode Island who declined to rnn for
Congress. He is no relation of old
Ren’s.
Massachusetts. —A collection for
the benrfit of the suffering South was
taken up iu the churches throughout
Massachusetts, last Sunday. The re
sult has not yet been published.
Tiie Wheat of Virginia.—
The editor of the Rockingham Register
says that wheat fields all along both
sides of our splendid highway in the
Valley, arc looking splendidly. Al
ready there is great promise, without
misfortun'', of an uncommon harvest of
the staff of life.
Mobs Districts — The Richmond
Examiner nominates Ohio as “Distriot
No. 6,” and Maryland as “No. 7.”
New York must fall in as No. 8, her
legislature having refused to allow col
ored people to vote on the call of a State
Convention.
Gin. Lib.—lt is authoritatively
Mated that Gen. Lee is strongly in favor
of the people voting for the Convention.
He says that every man not actually
disfranchised should not only take the
necessary steps to prepare him elf to
vote, but should prepare his friends,
white and colored, to vote.
General Be \rREGARD — The letter
of General Beauregard is pretty much
like that of Gcqeral Longstrect. lie
aeoepts the situation, advises tho peo
ple to ac’, and thiuks the ireedmen may
be made an element of strength to the
South.
Aldermon Sparks having received the
■tost votes, in fact more than all the
rest put to gether, at the Catholic Fair,
recently held in Macon, has been pre
sented with the gold-beaded cane. A
splendid silver beaded cane was paesent
ed to A’dorman Greer.
Plant Corn I —This is the cry in
the papers from every direction. The
advice is sensible and good. Put
enough of your tillable lands in corn
to insure a surplus in any contingency
—ind then plant all the cotton you
can cultivate with the labor at your
command The suggestion to plant
•11 corn, and no cotton, is silly, and
would prove hurtful if followed.
Ifoii-ftortariiiu.
At the outs' tit was announced in
this paper that it would be strictly
non-sectari»n in regard to religion ; but
that i u' columns were open to all sects
or pnrties for the dissemination oi
knowledge and the general information
of our readers An exalted opinion
ot the good sense of the community
has caused us to regard tho often rep
etition of this announcement unnoces
iarj. If there is any one thing pre em
tkerkly loathsome in our estimation it
li that spirit oi unchristian prejudice
Which prompts men to work for the
tiyury of others simply becauso their
•pinions on doctrinal points differ from
thier own.
It doe* seem to ua that there
oould bo do ground whatever for an
opinion that we had or would show
partiality, for any denomination, when
them is not connected with the office
• man who can claim anything above
the station of a private member of one
branch of the Christian Church.
Oun ia a paper for the public —not
fbr the advancement of any party or
efiqae whatever, and if there are any
•he would attempt to injure us in our
Bgitimate business, by stating that par
tielity ha* at any time, and in any
WMnner been shown to any denomina
tes, we call to witness the columns of
the Journal from its first issue till tbe
present time, that our original pro
gramme in this particular, has been
Impartially and faithfully abided by.
Nothing gives us more pleasure than
to witness the harmony of Christian
believers, and we rejoice that cur lot
baa been cast in a community as free
as this front church prejudices. We
desire the prosperity of all denomina
tions, that have the salvation cl the
human family for their object; and re
iterate the announcement that w 3 will
take great pleasure in opening our col
umns to anything that will be of inter
est or advantage to any of our
churches— provided the Bame is not
calculated to call iorth hartful discus
sions.
The c e remarks have been called
forth by the intimations of our friends
of different denominations that they
•ere necessary just at this time, and
we trust our readers will pardon the
touching of an unpalatable subject to
us.
‘■Wlial is Our Policy t”
Day by dty, in public and iu private,
through the medium of tho Frees, in
newspapers, reviews, brochures, in ed
itcriub, essays, resolutions, in speeches,
orations, lectures and deba'cs, the great
absorbing question is “whal is our poli
cy ?’ It is asked of all on I by all.
The Chronicle & Sentinel says, “It is a
question of in:menso amplitude, eov
criog all pointh—political, theological,
financial aod social. It is of the great
est imports nee, gen< rahzing human ae
tiont, with the lormula if infinity, com
prehending rt suits “big with the late of
nations yet unborn,” as well as tho un
fortunate rebs who were never safely
delivered. Like tho horii >n, the limit!
of the question seem to bo within the
limits of human vision, aud its metes
and bounds f-eem easily determined, but
these metes and bounds shift like the
sbif ing borrizon, with stand points and
timo. Who c. n au.-wer the question ?
Who can b live its problems? Asia
radical, aod ho surlily replies, po bang
yoursiF; if you don’t we will do it for
you. The country needs a hanging to
purify it. Ask a Republican, and with
eagerness Le tells yoj to adopt the C n
stitutional Amendment; »t is tho pana
cea fur your evils— it is the beginning
of amillonium—but you must bo puro
to voto with the Republican party. Ask
a Demoorat, and, with all the gravity of
a Moses and tho air of Solomon, he an
swers, got all the votos you can, but
stick to tho Dcmooratio party. Thero
is no salvation but Domocratio salvation.
Ask tho President, and ho says, stand
by tho Constitution. Ask Congress, and
it gives you a “Shorman-Shellabarger,”
as a political tonic, diuretio and diapho
retic following a presidential cathartic.
Ask Beecher, andjho answers in a strain
of the loftiost eloqnenco, go to—the
Paris exhibition. Thad. Stevens,
and he thunders rebuild my Iron Works
and make mo ‘the great commoner’ —
the great exalted. A»k Butler, and, in
the interlude of impeachment, he will
say, jug Grant and vote for Butler
Ask H. G , and the Tribune will an
swer, vote lor universal suffrage—white,
black, yellow and copper color (not
head,) specie payment and high tariffs,
and subscribe for (pay as you go) the
New York Tribune. Ask Raymond—
well, what will Raymond say ? Go in
with tho Times. Now what is our poli
cy ? What can be our polioy ? General
Pope’s orders will answer—obey the
law.
Advcrli»iiig.
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal >
in its issue ol the 28th inst., says : We
have been carrying on the Louis ville
Journal betwoen thirty-six and triiriy
seven years. During that time we
have known no man of business in tho
city to fail who advertised liberally.—
And we have known no one to suc
ceed in any considerable, if oven in a
respectable degree, who didn’t adver
tise liberally!
“Do you tell us, oh candidate for
the custom of the community, that you
can’t afford to advertise because your
bueiness is dull ? Ah ! why is it dull ?
Lis'en, and wo will tell you. It is dull
because you don't advertise, and you
don’t advertise became it is dull. So
the vacant circle is complete. We tell
you, if you arr doing ill, to advertise
that you may do well, and, if you are
doing well, advertise that you may do
better. Sot high your mark of busi
ness success, and advertise up to it.—
You can do so, if you will, even in
hard times.
“A little nerve is needod in advertis
ing as well as in using any ether t ffec
tive means of success. Your men who
have no more nerve than a wet rag
advertise little, or not at all. You may
suppose that we are giving advice that
wo think trould benefit ourselves Yes,
we do think that it would benefit us,
but benefit you immensely more.—
Think a little, and you will agree with
us. And if you do agree with us, be
wise enough to *ct accordingly.”
Partition or Florida. —The pro
ject of annexing West Florida to Ala
bama is revived, ia the papers at least
and though once refused by Florida,
the Pensaoola Observer thinks it “not
so certain that the people would reject
it if referred to them now.” Should
such a thing take place, the remainder
of Florida would be too small for a
State, and we would suggest that the
Middle and'East sections, they consent
ing, be annexed to and form a part of
the Stale of Georgia. Our railroad
and Bteamboat lines have already made
us in many senses one people. What
have our Florida friends to soy in the
matter ?
Revenue Taxes.—The reduction in
taxes under the amendment to tho in
ternal revenue law takes effect on and
after March 2, 1867. All exemptions
date from the morning of that day.
The income tax now to be returned upon
the income of last year will be paid ac
cording to the new law. ODe thousand
dollars thus returned is exempt, and all
abovo that pays a uniform rate of five
per cent. The return must now be
made in March, instead of May, as un
der the old law.
GovehNcr Jenkins. — The South
ern Recorder, of tho Ist inst, fiiys :
“We sue that some of our lotempora
ries uro becoming a littlo restive as to
the whereabouts of Governor J., and
are desirous ol hearing from him. We
have heard from h’m indirectly, and
can assure the anxious i quirers that
Governor J. la not as'oep or indifferent
to the inteiests and vre'fnre of the
State Ho is calmly coolly, and con
etituti nnlly surveying tho late action
of Congres, and our readers may rest
assured that when he speaks it will l>e
liko n statesnrn, who has fully exam
ined every point, and will advise noth
ing from mere policy. His own honor,
and the honor ol Georgia, is too dear
to him to act tho schemer, politician or
political birterur.
“What Gov. J., is now doing can
not bo done in a day or a week. It
requires much thought, Jo jal talent,
&0., to see clearly what must bo done,
and bow it should be done. If tho
Constitution has any meaning or effect,
Governor J. will know it before he re
turns home. We therefore adviso tho
jieople of tho State to remain quiot un
til their Governor speaks. lie will do
so at the proper time.”
A Horrible Murder. —A Portland
dispatch es tho 25th says : Geo. Ilolfo.
an inoffensivo man, aged 85 years, was
murdored on Sunday morning in the
Williams House, in Falmouth, by Eben
Williams, agod 21 years, who shot him
through the heart with a ritlo and then
out off his head with an axo. Williams
is an imbecile, under guardianship, but
being supposed harmless was allowed to
ocoupy tho house with Rolfo, who was a
pauper, as his servant. Williams went
to tho honso of Lis guardian in the ol
tornoon and stated gleefully what ho
had done The body was found laid
out as if for burial, and tho head in a
pail of water.
Characteristic. —lJrick Pomeroy
delivered a lecture in Columbus on
Friday last. While he was speaking,
a handsome Newfoundland dog hap
pened on the pln'form. Alter walking
around awhile he caino to Driok, who
gently patting him remarked : “Clev
er dog, if you was in New England
they’d send you to Congress.” Wber
upon there was a laugh, aud the dog
very deliberately left tho stage, when
Brick immediately added : “The dog
even is insulted at tho off r. The Pu
ritans wc uld only want him because
he’s black. If he’ll come back I’ll
apologize.”
Mr. Davis —Wehavo another ru
mor from Washington that the Presi
has been urgod by prominent Republi
cans, and others, to release Jeff. Davis
upon his own recognizance, because
there is no prospect of Chief Justice
Chase holding a court in Virgini.a so
long as that Sta’e is under control of
military authority—tho Chief Justice
deeming it beneath the d'gnity of a
Judge of the Supreme Court to sit in a
district under such control.
No Elections in Georgia.
It will be seen from the following or

A Heavy Old Law. —Here is a copy
of an old act introduced in the British
Parliament in 1779. What a frightful
number of “null and void” marriages
there would be if it were in force now in
America:
All women, of whatever ago, rartk,
profession, or degree, whether they be
maids or widows, that shall from and af
ter this act, impose upon and betray in
to matiimony any of His Majesty’s male
subjects by pains, scent, cos netic washes,
artificial teeth, false hair, Spanish wool,
iron stays, hoops, high heeled shoes, or
bolstciiug hips, shall incur the penalty
of tbe law now in force against witch
craft and like demeanors; and the mar
riage upon conviction, shall stand null
and void.

OialraiK'liiNPiiient (<>r Partlci
tion in lli<- Ilebelliou.
The follow ing from the Richmond
Examiner, of Tuesday, ooutaios some
corrections that apply to Georgu as they
do to Virginia:
Tho following is an extract from the
1 last veto messago of tho Prisi lcnt:
* * “No one can be registered, ac
• cording to tho original act, who may be
; disfranchised fir participation iu the re
| hellion,” a provision which 1< ft undeter
mined tho question as to what amount
ed to disfranchisement, and whether,
without a judicial sentence, the act it
self produced that effect. This supple
mental bill superadits an oath, to be
taken by every person before bis name
can be admitted upon the registration,
that he has “not been di-franebised for
participation in any rebellion or civil
war against tho United States.” It
tbns imposes upon every person the ne
cessity and responsibility of deciding
fir himself, under the peril of punish
ment by a military commission if he
makes a mistake, wbat works disfran
chisement by participation in rebellion,
»Dd wbat amounts to such participation.
Almost every man—the negro as well
as the white—above twenty-one years of
age, who was resident in these Icb
States during the rebellion, voluntarily
or involuntarily, »t some time and in
somo way, did participate in resistance
to tbo lawful authority of the General
Government. The question with the
citizen to whom this oath is to be pro
posed most be a fearful one ; for while j
tho b. r, l does Do * declare that perjury
may bo ..’’signed for suob false swearing
nor fix any penalty for tho offence, wo
must nut forget that martial law pre
vails; that every p.’rscn is answerable
to a military coiuinifwi‘ , n, without pre
vious presentment by a g.' jury, for
any charge that may be mait against
him ; and that the supreme authority of
tho military commander dott.' rni ines the
question as to what an offuotK’, an “
what is to be tho measure of punish
ment.”
This opens a question of the highest
interest to our people. We are persua
ded that tho President erroneously con
strues the law in the above sentences.
If, as the President seems to think,
Congress designed to disfranchise all
who participated in the rebellion, the
oath would have been differently fram
ed. The affiant would have been call
ed on to swear that he had not partici
pated in the rebellion—noi that he was
Dot disfranchised for such participation.
Dlsfranchis ment is n substantive act.
It is the taking away of a legal right
theretofore existing, and must be affect
ed by law. In several of lhe States
laws have been passed disfranchising
for participation 10 the rebellion. No
where can disfranchisement bo effected
without law.
Now, no State law disfranchised any
ODe in Virginia for participation in re
bellion. This should cud the question
if the Constitution of the United States
existed, which guarantees to States the
control of suffiage. But uuder the new
dispensation we have further to a-k :
Has Congress disfranchncd any citizen
for participation in rebellion ? Wo an
swer yes.
The sth and 6th sections of tho Sher
man Bill declares thht no person shall
be entitled to vote in any election un
der tho provisional governments, or in
the elections for a conveution, who is
excluded from holding office by the pro
posed XlVtb amendment to tho Con
stitution—that is to say, “no person,
who having previously taken an oath
as a member of Congress, or as an officer
of the United States, or as a member of
any State Legislature, or as an cxccu
tvo or judicial effi c of any State, '0
support the Constitution of the U. 8 ,
shall have engaged in insurrection or
rebellion ogainst the same, or given aid
and oomfort to the enemies thereof.”
These aro the only persons disfran
chised in Virginia for participating in
the rebellion.
We regard tho mistake of tho Presi
dent on this point, though very excusa
ble, equally manifest.
We repeat, every citizen of Virginia,
of whatever color or previous condition,
who io twenty-one years of age, may
and should be registered, who was nev
er disfranchised by law for felony, nor
disfranchised by law for participation in
the robellion, and who will swoa. alle
giance.
And we do ropeat that no man is by
law disfranchised in Virginia for parti
cipation in tbe rebellion, except persons
who held State offices or Federal offices
bofore tbe war, and aiterwards engaged
in rebellion.
Brick Pomeroy —This noted and
somewhat eccentric genius, who is row
lecturing in tbe South, occasionally
throws out a good suggestion. In one
of his recent lectures he said:
Were I possessed ot the alchemy to
transfer a poor man of the West into
die rich man of the East, I would take
all the jewels of tbe ladies, and build
cotton mills. I would leave the ladies
without any other attractions than
their pure hearts and beautiful faces,
and with the proceeds of their unnec
essary gewgaws could put up woolen
mills, cotton mills and saw mills, and
no loDger be dependent on people so
far away, who care nothing for you,
except for your dollars. Put up a cot
ton mill with a thousand spindles, and
they will be better weapons than ten
thousand glistening bayone's. Strike
New Englund in the with a can
non ball, and it is nothing, for the for
eign element is constantly pouring in
to replace those whom she may lose at
war ; but strike at her pocket, an 1 you
inflict a terrible wound. Could 1 see
! factories here, I would say that the
day of freedom and liberty had come.
Indian Massachr in the West
The capture of Fort Buford, at the
mouth of Yellow Stone river, confirmed.
I Col. Rankin, his wife and child, and a
garrison consisting of eighty men, were
j massacred. The oapture cost the Indi
i ans 300 killed and 1,000 wounded.

New Orleans, La., Mar. 18, *67.
To the Editor of t' e N Orleans Times:
Dear Sir : In your paper of yester
day yt u have expressed a desire to bear
the views of several gentlemen upoD
the political condition of the country.
I find my name mentioned upon your
list, and proceed, without hesitation, to
respond.
As I havo never applied myself to
politics, I cannot claim to ppeak to tho
wise statesmen of the oountry, who are
devoting their energies to the solution
of the problem which agitates the pub
lic mind. I can emly speak the plain,
honest convictien of a soldier.
It can hardly be necessary at this
late day to enter into a discussion of
the matter that is usually brought up
in arguing npon tbc proposed plan for
reconstructing the government; In
deed, 1 think that many of them are
not pertinent to tho question.
The n’rikiDg feature, and the one
that our people should keep in view, is,
that we arc a conquorod people. Re
cognizing thin fact fairly and tquarely,
there is but one course left for wi-e men
to pur-uc. Accept the terms that aro
offered us by the conquerors ! There
can be no discredit to a conquered peo
ple for accepting :be conditions offered
by tbeir conquerors. Nor is thero any
oocasion for a feeling of humiliation.
We have made an honest, and I hone
that I may say n creditable fight, but
we have lost. Let ns come forward
then and accept the ends involved in
the struggle.
Our peoplo camcsstly desire that the
constitutional government shall bo re
established, an 1 tho only means to ac
complish this is to comply with tho re
quirements of tho recent Congressional
legislation.
It is said by some that Congress will
not receive ns even after we have com
plied with their conditions. But 1 can
find do sufficient reason for ontertaining
this proposition for a moment. I can
not admit that tbc representative
m m as a great nation conld make such
a p] b -Ig e in bad faith. Admitting, how
ever tb.’ 4 t^lere 18 Ba °h a mental reser
vation can t^)ere b® excuse for us
in failing to ditL’ har 6 e °nr duty ? Let
us accept the term q ? s we are in dnty
bound to do, aDd if tiu re 18 8 lac * °‘
good faith, let it be upon o
I am, very icspectlully, yow r

Prospect or Early Reconstruction
—All indications, public and private,
point to the probabi ity of a prompt
accoptance by the Southern people of
the terms offered by Congress. Not
that Southerners approve of the bill;
on the contrary, they consider it harsh
and despotic; but they incline to view
tho subject in an entirely practical
light. They are ready to take, not
all they have a right to, but the host
thoy can get. We are permitted to
print the following extract from a pri
vate letter of an eminent Confederate
General, dated March 8, to a lriemd in
this city:
“The act of Congress, bad as it is
for us, I think will result (if it stands
as the law, and I presume it will,) in
settling matters between the North
and the South. I think the groat body
of tho people South are exceedingly
anxious for a final settlement; and
that, relying on this being such, they
will, without delay, acquiesce. —N Y.
