DAWSON UN A I, JDAYV3OM GA, APRIL 12,1867. A gen t»- Mr. Elam Ji iinson, Power’s Sta lion, is an autbor'zed agent for this pa p- r. Contraetß made of receipts given by him will le ratified by the propric « IH. Ei.y Otto, Ehq , of Savannah Ga , is our agent for that city. T 1\ Slider, Esq ,is our agent for Charleston, S. 0. A few days ago several men in the neighborhood of Melville, Georgia, un dertook to capturo a person named Siaff, suspected of being a horse thief. He attempted to escape, and ODe of the men slot him dead. The Jews in the various nations of the earth number, as is estimated, not far from seven millions, abt ut the same as in the most prosperous days of the n .lion in ancient Palestine. Ex-Senator Foster, of Connecticut,' has been nominated us Minister to Austria, in place of Mr. Motley re signed, and Ccwau, rejected. It is estimated that at the propo ed rates for the government advertising, dry-nurse radical papers in the South, the bill will foot up am.ually two mil lions of dollars. An official -statement just published, gives the popula'ion of the cry of Lon j don at 1,416,919 males, and 1,621,072 femmes. The number of births in the city during the year 1866, was 107,- 992; the number of deaths, 80,129. Brick Pomeroy stayed two hours in Atlanta, during which he took time to see the editors, oat his breakfast, and eave fifty dollars ‘-for the most charit able object in the town.” A law has recently taken (fleet in Missouri making it a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, for a man »o abandon his wife or chii dren under twelve years of age, or tn neglect or refuse to maintain and pro vide for them. It is 6aid there is seme daDger of a war between France and Prussia on the East- rn question. If we could effec tually command the peace we’d do it, bat as we can’t, all we can say is “fight, you’re no kin.” The Radical New papers are growl ing over fbe indications of haimony between the whitos and blanks, and at < the implied willingness ol the South to accept the Sherman military recon struction bill. The radicals do not want negroes and whi es to bold ami cable meetings, nor do they want the Southern people to accept this or any other bill. What is wanted is to keep the South out rs the Union, so that radicalism will not Lee its maj ritiesin the Nor h. - The Thing to he Tested. As we anticipated, Govcnor Jenkins is preparing to test the validity of the military bill before the Supreme Court of the United States. He has very wisely employed as counsel for the State, Charles O'Crnner, of New Yoik and Judge black of Pennsylvania—two of the ablest lawyers in the couutry We are glad to know that this action of Congress is to be shown up in all its bearings, and weighed in a Constitu tional balance, as it will, perhaps rest a prop at least for the restoration of iaw ful government in the country at some future day. It will at least set the lov ers of a constitutional government at the North to thinking and, place the political situation in the proper light before the world. Whether it is likely to stay the work of territo*ialization in the South cr not, we are unable to di vine ; and we do not feel warranted in the attempt to inspire hopes in the hearts of our couDtrymeD,'whieh are so liable to be erusbed at a moment. The only redress we can confidently rely up ou is id a future day—when the States have regained their places in the Feder al Government—even if it be through the way pointed out by a Seotional Congress. Let us attain this posiiion at the earliest possible day—feeling that the means employed will justify the eDd to be accomplished, and we miy yet see New England repent heartily for the precedent they have i augurated for the political chastisement of States and Sections. We have read thoalle f e ition of Judg esShatkie and Walker in behalf of the State of Mississippi praying an in junction against the President and his officers appointed to carry out the pro visions of the Military bill. It is re plete with Judi.ul logical and u a swera ble Constitutional argurat n*, but we fear it will prove as chuff before that fanatical sj iiit which has already been t n noved by the breathing of patriotism and the oft repeated principles of Con stitutional liberty. We can but desire, as a true South erner that our section may be benefitted by this appeal to the highest tribunal, of the land, but we would warn our peo pic against cherishing too fond hopes, lest they be rendered still more unhap py by seeic g them blasted. Tilt- Opinion* of Military lUen. There is in our bumblo opii.i >n, says the Ailauta lutcll geucer, something of ‘•atmuniacy —as old ‘ llilly Walker” in days that arc past used to say—on the part of that portion of the press who see in the opinions of Lee, Beauregard, Longstrcet, and others of “that ilk,” and in their advice to their Southern fellow-citizens on the "political situa tion, ’’ the opinions and advice of merely military men, wLieb weighed in tbs balance with theirs, would fail to even counterpoise the saa'es. This is sheer DODsen.e. Such men as Lee, Beaure gard, Loogstrcef, high as tbeir claims are recognize ! to bo upon the affections of our people, on account of their mili— tary services, have other claims which cn'itle tbeir opinh n-t and advice to as much consideration at least, as that of any member of the editorial fraternity, or any pJitieal essayist. They are, in the firs' plice, each and every one of them, men of ALutbern birth, of finish ed education, of strong na-ive intellect, and, in the second place, so deeply im bued with the spirit of patriotism and lovo to their native South, that it were folly not to recognize their opinions and advice upon the “political situation” as important, and as worthy of considera tion and of being followed as those of any other profession or class of men in the South. Washington was a military man, and yet he was a statesman. Na poleon, the first, was a military man, and yet he, too, was a statesman. Wel lington was a military maD, and was a statesman. So may it be written of military men in ancient times—of Cae sar and of others whose names are in scribed upin history’s gage as combin ing both the characteristics cf warriors aod statesmen. We confess to being one of those who pay much respect to the counsel and advice of such men as Lee and his gallant ccmpeors, especially in regerd to the du'y of tho people in tho present anomalous condition of the Sruthern States, and we regret to see (Sorts made to resistor weaken tbeir in fluence with our people. When battle was the order of the day, they headed the Confederate battallions and most no bly did their duty. If wc do not now respect the opinions and seek the coun sels of such men, in the name of God whose opinions are we to respect, whose counsels shall we s- ck ? Conservative Meet ins; in Chat tanooga. Chattanooga, April 6.—A Conser rative Union County Convention was held to-night o elect delegates to the State Convention, without distinction of race or coi r." It was a largo and most enthusiastic meeting, in size about 500 colored and 300 whites. The officers of the meeting were all original Union men and speakers the same. It was ad dretsed by William Fletcher, a leading Colored citizen, just before adjournment. He said if he was fit to vote and fft to sit on a jury, be was fit to hold office. He had been told that the conservatives were hostile to the colored man. What he had heard to-nigbt| et him thinking He was going to read, study, and vote for himself. The Radicals say they are going to carry all the States, therefere they wouldn’t miss him. He was greet ed with applause. The rosolutims favor a return to the Constitution, oppose Brownlow, and fa vor a more liberal school law and eco nomical administration of Government. A Chance for Fame.— The Mobile Advertiser very justly remarks that the position ol power held by the Dis trict Commanders opens a field of no ble ambition to a truly wise and good man Without departing cne jet or lit’e from the strictest letter of his or ders, it is in his power to build up and leave behind him in the hearts of the people and in the future history of these times a resplendent monument to his fame—a monument that will tell of thd moderative self-denial and abstinence of a Washington, or a Cin cinnati, in the wise use of Pro Con sular powers, and which shall out'ast and outshine in history those that memorize the conqueror's career of blood and desolation Black Crook —We are indebted to Messrs. Haver s & Brown of the Macon Nows Depot, for a copy of this work— a wonderful history, which has been creatiug excitement in New York The atres for months. They will send it to any address on recei] tof 75 cents; of it can be had of their agents on the trains, together with all the popular lit e ature of the day. The government sold during the past year, $12,204, 799 worth of pos tage stamps an l enve'opes. We sent abroad, 4,543,630.

Koportcd Indian Jluswacre. The Philadelphia Inquirer publishes the following extract from a jrivate letter received in that ci y on Satur day from .Fort Bu’ly, D TANARUS., und dat ed February 25th, 1867 : "By the upper mail, which a r'ved ' here to day. wo heard some very bad news from Fort Buford. There-was one company ol our regiment station ed there, under the c mmand of Colo n«d Itunkin The Indians made an at tack on that little band, and it appears from all accounts that th y fought bravely until ou'numbered by tho red skins, who killed them all but the Col onel and wife. They then took them a few ynrds from the post, and having built a fire, tied tho Colonel’s hands and feet and put him in the fire, while h s wife was compelled to see him burning After that was done they mal treated her in a shameful manner, and having rolled her up in a buffalo r.»be, they task ned her on a I wild norse and turned him loose. God ! onlv knows how long she was on tho j prairie, but it happened, very fortu nately, that the mail carriers for that fort encountered her in that condition, j und after tney bad heard who she was j they took her in their charge and re turned with her and the mails to Fort Rice. “Th j Indians wer e 1,800 s'rong— our men only 96. They fought them three days; hut on the third day the Indians took tho place, scalp ’d all the dead, and those who were officer: 4 they cut up into small puces and ate them. That is considered bravery ? It wil* not be good for them if they make their appearance around this fort. We are very well guarded. There are six eompat ies here—four of infantry, one of cavalry and one of artillery The weather here has been very cold. We have lost nearly all of our stock—fro zen to death." The massacre a': Fort Bifford is con firmed by official advices. Colonel Rankin was killed. It is supposed hat Colonel Rankin shot bis wife to prevent her from filling into tho hands j of the Indians. The Selma Times of the s‘.hsays : Pursuant to a call in the_ daily papers, (here was a meeting of the It publican party, of this city, for the purpose of appointing delegates to a cou 'ty con ty Convention to be held at Selma on the 13tb prox. The meeting was thin ly attended by both whites and blacks, there being about seventy five of the latter and twenty five of the former present. Alter some unavoidable de lay tbemeetin' was orgonizod in front of the Court House, by calling W. N. Gilmer to »he chair, and the appoint ment of Rev. J. Silsby and Joseph Drawn (colored) as secretaries. On motion of Col. B. F. Scaffold, some for ty delegates white and blr.ck were ap pointed. Gen. Pope. —The Third of the Mili tary Districts of the unrepresented South, has been placed in command cf Gen. Pope. His district consists of the State of Georgia, Florida and Ala bama. This is the D strict Gen. Thom as was appointed to command, and the change was made at his request. No ticing this matter, the New York Com mercial Advertiser says: “The ups and downs if life are well illustrated in the case of Major General Pope. Less than livo years, ago this officer was looked upon as an arrant biaggart, a first class military charlatan, who, with his ‘headquarters in the sad blti,’ had needlessly sacrificed thousan Is of brave men at the battle of Bull Hun. While some bitterly denounced him, others expressed commisseration for ‘poor Pope,’ and he quietly passed from theseenoof immediate hostilities, and retired to a distant frontier to fight the red-skias. Now, this same officer is, at the request of Gon. Thomas, assigned to the important command of one of the five Southern Departments, embrac ing the States of Georgia, Alabama and Florida. The truth is, however, many believe that Pope was unfortunate in Virginia though the fault of others, and that the second battle of Bull Run would have had a different termination had no jealousies prevailed among offi cers. Gens. Thomas, Resecrans and Halleek have never wavered in their high opinion of Gen. Popo’s military ability.” Letter from Hon. Rcvcrdy Johnson. The West Georgia Gazette has re ceived the following letter from the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland: Senate Chamber, Mar. 25, 1867. 'Dear Sir :—Yours of the 18th is re ceived. My vote f>r the bill you refer to was given, not because 1 approved of it, but because I knew that if defeated, or not carried out by the S >utb, other measures ruinous to them, in every way, would follow. 1 wished by my vote (hoping that the South would not doubt my desire to seruc them, and the whole oountry) to place myself in a eondition to advise them more effectually to acceptance than I would be if i had voted against it. My advice therefore is, and I give it mast anxious/y, that the proper course to be pursued by you is to organize un drr the act at onoo and in good faith Very Respectfully, Your obedient servant, Reverdy Johnson.

The car was quite full As soon as he entered one of the pas sengers stood up and said: ‘ Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands upon your pocket-books. Ben Butlor is in the cur.” Butler got out at thq next crossing. General Orders from General l*o|te on Assuming I omm und ol the 3d Military Dislriet.

The District of of Georgia and Ala bama will remain as at present constitu ; ted, and with their present commanders except tnat the Heal-Q larter t of Geor gia will bo forthwith removed to Mil— j lcdgeville. The District of Key West is hereby merged iuto the District of Florida, which will be commanded by Col. John T. Sprague, 7th U. S. Infantry Tue llcad-Q larters of the D strict of Flori da arc removed to Tallahrssee, to which place the District Commander will traus for his Head Quarters without delay. 1. The civil officers at present in offices in Georgia, Alabama and Flori da, will retain their offices until tho expiration of tbeir terms of service, un less otherwise directed iu special case-, so long as justice is im-ariiilly and faithfully administered. It is hoped that no necessity may arise for the in terposition of the Military authorities in the civil administration, and such necessity can only arise from the fail ure of tte civil tribunals to protect the people, wit! out distinction, ia their rights of person and property. 11 It is to be clearly understood, , however, that the civii- officers thus rb'lined in office shall confiae them selves s'riotiy to the perl >rmancc of their ofiio.Ll duties, and whilst holding their Otfiecs, they shall not use any in fluence whateVb’ to deter or di-suade the people from taxing an active pa ; t in reconstructing tbeir bi'te Govern ments, under the act of Congress to provide f>r the more tffi iieut govern ment of the rebel S ate3, and the act su plementary thereto. 111.

John P.pe, Major General Commanding. iUonkcyw fur Picking Cotton. A communication in tho Ga’vest n News, from a Texas planter, furnish s evidence that an attempt has abso’ute ly been made to teach monkeys to pick cotton. The writer says he was u cotton plainer in Georgia in 1849, but being obliged to visit the Island of Frindad on business, he was pre vailed on to puceha-e sogie monkeys there, in order to make the exp‘ rimen as 'o their capacity for labor. He reached home with twenty-three of those creatures, which cost him, deliv ered on the plantation', 81 800. Hu gives the following as his experience: I was mighty well pleased when I received my monkeys Their arrival turned my plantation topsy-'urvy. — For two weeks nothing was done by whites or blacks but play wv th the monkeys. The overseer got one of tne brightest looking, and remained at his house mo tot the time watch ng the monkey's tricks, ands must eon - fess that my w fa, myself and children were in the same business Seei >g this wou'd not pay, I began making prep arations to go to work. I hud reck oned on one negro managing ten mon keys, and five mor.keys pick ug as much as three negroes. For the next two weeks all h snds, whites and blacks, were engaged in the cotton fields teaching monkeys. Tho result was somewhat different from my calculations. Instead of one negro managing ten monkeys, etc., it took ten negroes ,o manage one monkey, and then tne mousey did not pick a pound or an ounce of cotton. I be came disgusted, gave all my neighbors that wou'd ac ept, a monkey and about a fortnight since sold the last eight to a ttave.ing menagerie at 85 a piece. My monkey speculation has thrown me behind six weeks in cotton picking The next time Igo to Trim dad, I don’t be ieve I shall want any more mor.keys. A Cabbage as is a Cabbage.— Brick Pomcry has had a present of a cabbage, such, a cabbage ! Here’s his description of it and how he's going to dispose of it: It was a perfect Colossus among cab bages, uod evidently giew in a4O acre field i'self, and probably if it could have had growing weather a few months lon ger, it would have ooventi the entire forty acres. We have been specu'a ting what we should do with it, and have oome to tho oonolusion to pickle a quarter of it, if we can find barrels enough, save another quarter for the wiuter supply of cut cabbages with our oysters, reserve the third to book with corn beef for the next twelve months, and donate the last quarter to certain ig norant and brainless La Croose Repub licans, to fiill up the vacuum in their upper stories, and leave them furnished with a cheap substitute for brains. New York to Speak.—The Nation al Intelligencer says the conservatives intend to make national politics an is sue in the coming election for mem bers of a Slate Convention in Now York, and that journal predicts quite as signal an overthrow of the Radicals a< th t which recent'y occurred in the State of Connecticut. It is said negotiations are on fort for the sale by Russia, to the United States, for seven millions dollars, of her Noith American possessions on the Pacific. The United States would then hold all the coast frortf San Fran cisco to Behrings Straits, excepting a small strip at Vancouver’s Island. Noui and other 1 1 chin.

A resolution was passed at a pub lic meeting in Augusta, Ga., a few days ago, requesting the City Council to have the freedmen registered, in or der thut they nay vote at the next municipal election. The Council ro plied that they were willing to execute tho provisions of the military bill, but couldn’t do it until they received prop er instructions.

At an election to a vacancy in the Fif b Wisconsin on *" e 13th inst., Hon. H. L.

The result, says the Mil— wau’rie News, may be taken as a sure criterion of what the Democracy will do on a iurge sca’e in future elections Importuncc of the Kussiaii Ac quisition. One of the objects ol the President in convoking an extraordinary session of the Senate, is that it may act on the treity jest made with Russia for tho ce si on to the country of the extensive region lying in tho northwestern part of (his continent, and known on the msp as Russian America, or Rus.'ian Pos sess ms. It especially includes the strip 400 miles long which extends dowD the eiast, intervening Letwc(n Brinish America and the Paifio ocean. The ces ion excites intense interest. IlAu ent'a' parties regard it as significant of Russian policy in view of the impend ing European complieariens of the Eas tern question. The price to be paid for the Territory, rs asked bj Russia of the United States, is ..bout seven millions of dollars. Cheap enough, doubtless, al though the territory and Abntian is lands include!, are valueless except for their whaling harbors, fisheries and furs The Meanest Place in tue World. —Chicago has failed to raise any mon ey to aid the starving poor of the South. The Committee app irited by the Board of Trade to solicit subscrip tions reported that they had failed in the object of their appointment. Mem bers ot the Board had generally mani fested a reluctance tosubscribe any thing, and the totalamount of subscrip tions obtained was so small that the o mrritte and and not think it proper to send it, but rather that it should be return ed to tho subscribers. A motion to that effect was made to the board, and was agreed to with great unanim ity. The total amount of subscrip tions obtained was not stated by the committee, but it was .subsequently ascertained to be only about $225. National Rrpub. This brings to mind Mr. Baldwin’s story about the stran jer who, dying in Chicago and going to the gates guar ded oy St. Peter, was refused admit tance, St. Peter saying there was no such place on earth as Chicago. A map was produced, the place pointed out and the stranger admitted ; “but’’ St. Peter said, “I’ll be hanged if you aint the first man that ever came here from Chicago.” A convention of N irth Cirolina “loy alist’ and oolurd people was held at Ral eigh. During the procedings, a rich iccident occurred It. seems that the clerk of the convention had inserted the term ‘colored’ on his roll, opposite the names of the colored members. On the roll beinj called at the session referred to, Mr. Col. Rev. James Sinclair, bet ter known as the fighting par 1 on,’ arose and moved that the term ‘cob red’ be expunged, as not respectful to the col ored delegation. James H. Harris, an intelligent and respected colored man, arose and said he did not see any good reason for the proposition. The record was literally true. God had made them colored men, and he was not ashamed of anything God bad done. He w:s not ashamed of Lis color, and be hoped the gentleman from Roberson was not ashamed nfhit! The ‘ fighting parson’ caved in. The Connecticut Election— The Rcnulli The National Intelligencer has the following as a double leadod editorial: Glorious news greets us from the North. “The land of steady habits.” nobly meets tho expectations of the friends of constitutional government.— The tide of Radicalism is turned, and the freedmen of Connecticut have proud ly proclaimed that the Constitution is still in force; that tho rights of tlie States shall not be trampled upon ; that the Government shall not bo oonsolida ted in the hands ot a Congressional di rectory. The sceptre of power is wrest ed from the hands of it cn who, under the pretence of putting down rebellion, have inaugurated a revolution which, striking down tho safeguards of person al liberty, would destroy the indepen dence of the Executive, the sacred func tions of th>-Supremo Court, and the precious guaranties of constitutional government. The intelligent oit'zens of Connecticut rebuke t Congress which insnlts liberty by reariug a military des potism in the midst of a free rt public. Never was a political struggle more hot ly contested. Never was money more lavishly spent by defeated partisans.— Never was official influence more shame fully prostituted to serve the ai-us of ambitioDs politicians. Never was a con stituenoy more fl >oded with adroit spec ial pleaders in behalf of a designing na tional legislature. Never was th* p. n more unscrupulous in its efforts to make the worse appear the better reason. Never were the passions engendered by a war more violently appealed to. But neither money, nor patronage, nor elo quence, nor an army of ofice-holders, nor a subsidized press, not vile passions, availed the plotters against the Constitu tion. The revolution is stayed. The war upon our submissive brethren of the South is ended. The will ol Congress is no longer the supreme law, bat the Constitution and the laws made in pur suance thereof. Connecticut has spoken. New York will follow, in the eleo'ion tor constitutional delegates. Pennsyl vania, the keystone of the arch, will vin dicate the integrity of the Government as our fathers framed it, and the Union will be maintained, not according to the changing mandate of a Congress, but according to tbo Constitution which sprang from the sagacity, the p. triotism and the sufferings of‘‘the men of ’76.” Mr. English is elected by a marjtr tty equal to that by which he was beat en a year ago. Three Democratic Con gressmen have been elected to one Riu ical, instead of a solid Radical delega tion, as in the I s‘. Congress. It is but the of the end.

The State Road. —The Atlanta Opinion l of Thursday says: ‘‘We are informed 1 y Maj. Wallace that he paid into the Treasury of the State $60,000, from the prtfi’s of the Western and Atlautic Railroad I'>r the month ot February last. The same amount was paid in for January. The business of March, however, did not pay expenses. Socomplote was the blockade on the roads above during most of the month, that the freighting busine.-s was almost suspended. Thus it appears that the people of Geotgia are losers in a and iuble sense when the feeders of this groat State work are closed. With an ordinary business and gv>d management, this road will net to the State a half million of dollars annually.’ Connecticut Gone to Thunder.— The following is the announcement of tho conservative triumph in Connecti cut as it appeared in tho Washington Chronicle of Tuesday: At ha’f past cne o’clock last night General Granger received the follow ing dispatch trom the New York Tri bune office: “State gone to thunder In three counties we lose 900—in VVindom 80, New London 500, New Haven 400.
