Going to Hell A live —At a farm
hou c e reccrit’y, in the lower end of
Knox county, Tenn., some cne at the
supper table had been rending the
Governor’s proclamation calling out
tho militia. The old lady listened
with painful Attention Drop; ing iter
knife and fork, and wiping her mouth
with the corner of her apron, she
broke forth : “I just believe this war
niu’t over yet These folks ore goin’j
to begin to shoot ono another again.— j
I'll tell you, folks, what it is,if Brown-j

“Tear Down the Flag.” —The
Nashville G; zette says this aphorism
of Horace Grccby seems to meet with
great favor in Esst Tennessee. The
Kncxville I’riss tells us that again on
Wednesday last, Maynard’s roughs tore
down and rent into tatters the United
States fl’g .bat had been placed over the
stand wbero Etheridge was to speak.—
The Mexican “half-breed” that captured
Santa Anna, hoisted the flag on the
point of his sword, and threw it over his
bead behind him. The East Tennessee
"balf-lrccd” stands on no such ceremo
ny, but tears the Tags to flinders. This
is the second lime that the national em

The Board of Registration, on its
last round, wilt be in Dawson on the
13th, 14th, and 15th of the {resent
month, in order to allow those who have
not already registered an opportunity
to do so. And ouce more we would re
mind the true men of the South—whose
personal interest are bound up with th c
gemral interest of Georgia —that they
are called on to say whether we will have
a respectable government in
Georgia, or such a disgrace
to tho name of Republican in
stitutions, as that under which our sis
ter State of Tennessee is groaning to-day
We tell you it is time for uction. "\\ hat

ded by them, uulcss we willingly allow
thc power to pass from our Lands, and
by culpable DCgleet to perform a patri

Leaped upon us by a designing, wicked
minority, which will be looked upon by
thc world as the action cf Georgia’s
true sons.
Let no man fail to register, unless
clearly, specifically prohibited by the
law. W e have known some to refuse
to register because they cannot consci
entiously take the the oath to support all
lam of Congress, while some are so re
pugnant to any lover of a Constitutional
Government. We would ask them to
read the oath again. “Support the Con.
stitutioo,” and “obey the laws.’* All
should be willing to support the Con
stitution of the United States—all are
competed to obey the laws
Let us do our whole duty cot only in
the matter of registration, but let us
agree upon some jolan which will insure

The TL mo of lto r rescfaiivcs h*l

again let the Radicals howl about tbs
“sacred el aracter”of the debt incutred
to preserve the iot'grity cl the Union
They have given the C s*. blow, and
have sti Ito the world, “We will no*

The Court of claims was established
to give the people who have Lad trans

and tyranny of (fii ials. The net if
March 12. 1803, makes especial provis

captured during the war to prosecute
tbei r claims in tLis court, and fixes the
manner of payment. During tho war
and since, it has been a common prac

service to refer parlies for redress to the
Ciurt of claims Now that they have
gone there, and a few of them have ob
-1 tainc-d judgement, after all tho applican

judicially announced that tho Govern

Erance and E lgland have provided
similar tiitunals, before whom the peo
ple may present tbtir claims against
their respec'ive Governments, and wo
have yet to hear of the fi st case of the
repudiation of their judgements,
llow is this? Are the people t>

Are the people to be left to the mercy

A large amount of cotton and other \
property belonging in many instances, j
to loyal people, was seized daring the
war, and the proceeds placed in the
Treasury of tho United States. The
claimiDts were remitted to the Court of
Claims to establish their loyalty nnd
'their right to tho “net proceedings.’’
No matter what damage the parties nray
have sustained or how exorbitant the
charges allowed to officials, nothing but
tho “net proceeds” could be recovered.
The court, af cr a most patient hearing
and thorough investigation at the late
session, cave judgement for about

officials arbitrarily repudiated the con

have been issued. And now, if Con

any one be estopped from advising tho
repudiation of the bonds issuol by tho

of tho “national debt,’’ and, in good
faith, the Government is equally bound

Let it be known that the Fortieth

Don’t Go.— Less than twelve months
ago, many Georgians were greatly en
amored of Brazil, as they now ore of
Honduras. Tiny favored emigration to
avoid whit they culled “negro equality.”
Many exiled themselves from their na
tive land, leaving behind them all that
Las been dear to them—the heme of
thtir youth, their relations, their old as
sociates, their li nguugc, and the graves
of their sires and their loved ones.—
They made this sacrifice to go right
whete “negro equality” does exist in
Jact as will as in theory—civil, social
and political equality. Hundreds and
thousands of those who thus abandoned
themselves to the wilds cf a scini-civil—
ized and tropical clime, arc now lougiDg
to return to their native land. But alas,
they ere not in a condition to return. —
They have been overtaken by misfor
tune, and can reach their homes and
kindred only through the memories oi
the past—through uflections upon their
own thoughtlessness and folly, in thus
attempting to escape ‘ negro equality,”
by going to Central America!
This is our country. Let us not, in a
moment of peevishness and mental de
pression, abandon it for a wild and trop
ical wilderness, inhabited and governed
by semi-barbarians and Fejees.
A full repott of the Fort Darker
fight has tern received from Gen.
Wright, Chief Engineer of the Kansas
pacific '-abroad. It appears that sixty
Indians kept four Lun Ircd and fifty-four
of < nr cavalry at Lay, killing and wound
mg several, and at length got away with
out sustaining any lots, so far as could
be ascertained. It is reported that the
rod tkins mutilated one of the soldiers
who fe.l into thcit-Lcnds. The Indians
arc wc l mounted and armed, and as this
army civil engineer admits, without any
shame, altogether too much for our cav

The Drowns.— The New York News
says the Drown fam-ly are about to be
J astonished. It appears that souio time
about a century ago, ba tho same more
or less, some wealthy patriarch of the
namo -we suppose the original oil
Drown—died in England and left be
hind him the nice little sum of seven
mi’lions of dollars, which, it is said, by
careful computation, now amounts to
not less than 9215,000,700,000, tbo in
terest of which at six per cent, is esti
mated to bo $147,000,000 annually
The Brown family are therefore on tho

anxious to finger what Mr. Mantellini
would call “the darn'd total and con
sequently have met at tbo hub of the
universe for tho purpose of raising mon

A “Dig He ’ Radical. —It seems
that *Fi)Bter Illodget, Miirtary Mayor
of Augusta togotberwith the other “gal
vanized” gentlemen of that city bavo
become ashamed of “Little Dingy,” the
“Layal Georgian,” id omne genus ; and
bavo determined to consolideto tbeir for
ces in Augusta, and issue a ‘big he’ Rad
ical paper thcro. It will swallow up the
“Press’’ and “Georgian,” and wiggle
its way before the public under the
once glorious nom ne plume , National
Republican.’’
It Las boen proven to the satisfaction
of tbc Rads that the project of convert
ing the people of the South by means
of these pusilanimous “smut machines,
is one oi the “played outs,” but tbe glo
rious government keeps a little life in
them by that eminent oure-al’, Govern
ment patronage.
Rumor bas it, also, that tbo new
paper will be edited by V. M. Barnes
and D. G. (Jotting. The first issue is
expected to day. The new paper will
be, it is saiil, the organ" of tho Rrd’cal
Negro party, and expects to secure tbe
patronage ot the SoutLe-u Express
Company, the City Government and
Federal Government. This support
may keep it on its legs a short while,
but is is bound to fail.
Strictly Loyal* —Another racy Rad
ical has appeared in Virginia. His
name is Chas. 11. Porter. Ho made a
rabidly Radical speech on the Fourth
of July, and thc NorLlk papers made
some caustio comments on it. These
comments he mailed to the Radical
rumpers, to show the views of the rebel
South. Thc papers retort by publish
ing the proceedings of a court marshall
which tried him in 1864, for usiog se
ditious and profanely disrespectful lan.
guage about thc late lamented, but then
living, Lincoln, tho beat government
the world ever saw, and all that Radical
maD bolds dear. The court feundhim
guilty, sentenced him to bo imprisoned
six months, and turned him over to But
ler, who carried tho sentence iuto effect,
and bottled Porter almost as cffecually
as another Porter and Grant afterwards
bottled Butler.
Great excitement was caused in Chi
cago, on thc 19th instant, by a shooting
affair at the St Goroge’s pio nic. Mrs.
Van Patten, wife of a cigar dealer coin
ed 0.13. Van Patten, found her hus
baud at tbc pic-nicwith another woman.
She drew a revolver and fired at the
pair, missing both. She was so morti
fied at her bad aim that she at occo plac
ed the muzzle of the revolver at her
bead and lived, missing again, through
tho impertinent interference of a by
stander who elevated the weapon at thc
very moment when to do so was to epoij

naughty husband and “another woman”
is cot stated. Great place shat Chicago
for some thiDgs.
A meetifig of native and adopted cit—

“Tbc Crisis.’’
Under this exp'i c, the National In
telligencer of yesterday has a long and
able article commencing 3S follows :
“Solemnly sensibly of the moral re
sponsibility we assume to readers of
discrimination and candor, wc deliber
ate ly announce our oonscit ntious belief
that a national crisis is at band.
“With tbe humility of painful convic

but in melancholy sincerity, we im
plore every citizen to banish for the

sue whieh has arisen iu the coun

of partisinship, and which wo are con
strained to believe, threatens consequen
ces of infinite calamity to all classes of
tbe American people.”
The article »3 devoted to a considera
tion if the latest supplement of tbc S.
y. S. Bill, and shows that tbc President
cannot escoute it because it is rubver
sivo of the Constitution, which bs is
sworn to support and defend. It is
shown that this bill creates a class of
officers to execute the laws in tbe South

The Round Table, in alluding to the
threatened invasion of Mcxio’, by fili
buster says “the piebald ragamuffins
who, for nearly half a century, have
drenched that beautiful land wi h blood
and bade defiance to the progress of
the civilized world, may well give place
at last to tho aspiring warriors, think
ers, and workers of our own race, who
have long been watching for tho time
when such a great move.to nt could be
effected with the best chauces for direct
success and the least probability cf in

permanency.”
Mxxico to be Annexed —lt is re
ported that Mr. Abbott, the brother of
the historian, has broached a proposition
to leading members of Congress for the
annexation of Mczico, which he inti
mates vvi'b the approbation of Juarez
and the chiefs of the Mexican Republi
can party. The latter fear another for
eign intervention on account of Maxi
milian’s execution, or a continuation of
intestine strife, and are satisfied with
annexation provided they themselves can
be secured in some gu)d gov ernment
berth, and peace can ba secured to the
country. Mr Abbott's propositions
were received with some hesitation by
Sumner and Bonks, but with much fa
vor by Howard, Cole, Chandler and
others.

nations and find herself absorbed by

What Next? —A distinguished
German profosaot recently announced
that it a drop of blood was placed under
a microscope capable of magnifying it
twenty million time larger, it would

existed, or now exist, on tho earth. In
tbe blood cf a healthy person the ani
mals are quiet,: in tha‘ of a sick person
they fijrht. From this he draws the
conclusion that man has within him all
the elements from whieh the universe
was created. He further sajs that if •
dead eat was flung into a pool of water
and left to decompose, tho drops of wa
ter would show, when under a micro
scope, all the animals belonging to the
cat species.
