Ueadq’bs, 8d Military Dis’t, } (Georgia, Florida and Alabama ) S Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2, 1868. y General Orders, No. 22. Numerous at pl'caiious having been made to the Major-General •comniandit g, relative to the provisions and the execution of Gen eral Orders, No. 49, series of 1867, from these headquarters, and being satisfied front reports and representations, that in some in stances, the operations of the order have proved embarrassing and of an effect not designed when issued—the intention having, been to prevent bv prompt and euergetic ac tion, the use of official patronage to obstruct, hinder, and delav reconstruction under the acts of Congress —he therefore directs that the aforesaid Order be modified to read as follows: I. The giving of all advertisements and other official publications heretoioreor lieic after to be provided for by State or mu, tiicipal laws, by the civil officers whose duty it is to cause such publications to be made, is prohibiting to such newspapres, and such only as attempts to obstruct in any manner, the Civil officets spoqiuted by the military o(Beets in this District, in the discharge of their duties by threats of violence, of prose cution or other penalty, as soon as the milta ry protection is withdrawn lor acts perform ed ill their official capacity. 11. It in any of the counties in cither of the States in this District, there be but one newspaper published, civil officers whose du ty it is to advertise id accordance with law, are authorized to advertise in said paper re gardless of the provisions of paragtaph I, of this order. 111. All officers in this A/ditary District, whether military or civil, and all boards of registration, or other persons in the employ ment of the United States under military jurisdiction, are directed to give prompt at ten'ion to the enforcement of this order. Opposition to reconstruction, when conduct ed in a legitimate manner, is not to be con sidered an offence ; but will be so considered when accontpao'eu b.V Violent and incendiary articles threatening the preservation of the peace, or by attempts to obstruct civil offi cers, as indicated paragraph I, of this order. Should any civil officer violate the provisions of this order, the case will be promptly te porled to tnese headquarters. IV. This order is not to be constiued as affecting advertisements being published at the date of the order, or prior to its receipt by the civil officer who is effected tberebj. By order of Major General Meade. R. C. Drcm, Assistant Adjutant General. Will Tlie People Submit? Thedjßfcitionury tendency of Con greßfcioOTßl*gi s liition, says the La- Grange Mrporter, is becoming fi rce •>nii tihjimint; to every true lriend of it wue, over a voieitno which may burst forth at sny time and engulph the country iu iiremediable ruin n’- ery vibration of mo telegraphic wires, sending out the news from the halls of Congress, shock the nerves of the pa triot with fear and apprehension. The very winds bear upon th:ir wings the hissing threats of Radical treason and usurpation. The large majority of Congress is drunken with unrestrained power, lust and savage revenge. They are’rushing the country to a political condition which can only promise the direst results of revolution and blood shed if not restrained in their wild and mad ambition to retain power. It 6eems as if they were determined to subvert every principle ol the Constitu tion and every vestige of Civil Liberty to the base purposes of party ascen dancy. Amid the convulsions of its death-throes, the Radical party in Con gress eshibi's naught but crazy grasps at floating straws of hope to save them selves from the impending defeat and anmlfilation which they so plainly see is bouod to overtake them. These they see in the constantly changing sentiments of .be people against them, as evidenced by tht? recent thunder tones of popular elections at the North and in the Northwestern States. They are raving political maniacs, beating against the popular breeze with impo tent arms and lighting, with meaning less anathemas, against the will of ti>e people. But, Congress and the Radical par ty have the power, during their brief lease upon the control of the Govern ment, to force upon the country a con dition of thiDga which may result in anarchy and bloodshed, or an entire aubverson of the principles of the fun damental iaws of the land, as the peo ple may or may not choose to permit. The passage of the bills in regard to reconstruction, now pending before Congress, will become a law ; also the pending bills suspending the Execu tive functions during the trial ter im peachment, and foi the emasculation of the Supreme Court- These laws of Congress wi.l force an isaue between the Executive and Judicial Depart ments and the Legislative Departments of the Government j and the inevitable result will bQfbut Congress, claiming precedence over the Executive and the Judicial, will force a surrender of their Constitutional powers in the Gov ernment, and thus leave the peop e of this country undor the centralized and despotic power of Congress with no means of resistenco to i'e usurpations and oppressions except to a resoit to physical force, w hich resort may be had at any time. Rut he indications arc that the ( eo ple Kill not submit to the usurpations of Congress, if we muy judge by the recent elections already referred to However, if the dangers w e appre hend can no avert l and until the 1 rest (Initial election, and we aincerely hope they niby, the cc untry will pass thro’ this great revolu ionary crisis, and the popular will of the people, we are con fident, will restored) the country the protection of the Constitution and blo-sings of Civil Liberty and aerene peace. EIGHT AHEAD. “Iu tbc course of a very short time ” says Gen Meade to the piebald Cooven tioD, “I will be able to send yon thirty thousand dollars, but after that take car* of yourselves; I won’t be responsi ble for a dollar more ” If this sum was extended, st ys the Savannah Daily Advertiser, to the support of the oig : gers and scalawags from Gen. Meade’s own private resources, it would certain ly argue a considerable degree of interest and confidence in the success and integ rity of the Radical party, but un fortunately it costs Sultan Meade noth ing, it is merely the ’effort of dragging the State’s purse eufc ol its pocket and scattering theoontenta broadcast among the hungry mob assembled around to scramble for them. We once read an account, exactly analogous, regarding the members of an Italian Banditti, where a luckless traveler, being benight ed and waylaid, was robbed of his du euts, which were distributed among the black-bearded gentlemen of the gang by the chief, with exactly the same, kind of disinterestedness generosity that dis tinguishes Gen. Meade. This golden promise, held out to the black and tan, will effectually put an end to any thing like legitimate busi ness for the present, is anything like le gitimate business ever did exist among the heterogeneous rabble, that goes to mako up the great unwashed The prospect of thirty thousand dollars of spoil to be distributed ; the bright vis ion of whisky and pea-nuts and dough nuts and other kind of nuts ; the hopes of the means of a limitless drunk ; a grand carnival, unrestrained Saturca lia, will be the sole, bright particular star to engage the attention of the elcot, until the “swig” shall have been die disposed of; and imagination presents the image of dusky crowds, congregated in various stages of vinous enlightmcnt, at the street corners of Atlanta, among r<t —' * v, e ofentive wa\firerwill hear ’ Meade, sweet Massa Meade ; be isd* good, nice centJeo— , - I j uiuucy ob de white trash for de ’musement of we geotlcmeu niggers There will be touud in ail the state of security, ensured by Radical assu rance, Bradley, the bogus lawyer and real shoemaker, notorious for nothing but his infamous record ; Bentley, mu sician of drum excellence and merchant of chicken experience ; Bryaot and Ash burn and Stanford and the tag, rag bob tail, the scum of refuse, discarded by even the scum aid refuse of the North which is the discarded scum and refuse, the Botany Bay, of all the rest of hu manity—joining in a grand hallelujah, a loud souuding [asm to the magnani mous cats paw, which drags the Treasu ry cbesouts out of the fire of decent, public opinion to satisfy the appetite of the disgusting Radical’s ape, which laughs at Tybalt the cat while it uses him. Let Gen. Meade play the role be has chosen ; multiply the forty thou-and dollars abstracted from the State Treas ury, by ten and leave it to any honor able gentleman to itae if the acquisi tion of the product would induce him to act the part chosen by the Sultan of District Three ; let Gen. Meade only invoke the ghost of the conscience he possessed before tbe war, when he was the associate of gentlemen, and we will leave tbc answer, with confidence, to I i.jiat of tbe “poor ghost.” But Gen. MeaJc has joined tbe Radical party and that explain* everything ; words are superfluous. There is nothing within the wide ima£'U a, * on of infamy that experience has not bn?* ll to be within the grasp of ohe Radtci! Gen. Meade is one of them ; oui .re*d ers are at liberty to carry out the con clusion of the sjbgism for themselves. One gleam of sunshine, however breaks thr ugh all this ; the despot of District Three declares that the thirty thousanu, now about to be handed over to the iilustri'-us statesmen of the Con vention, wrung from the 6weat and toil and anguish ot the impoverished pco j pie of Georgia, to support such ignorant wretches as Bradley and Bendy, who never have paid nor never will pay one dollar of taxes nor have one dollar's in terest of taxable property in the State, j and whose assumed position as legisla tors is an insult and an outrage to the I intelligence and honor and respectabil ity of the State—will be the last black male levied to sustain them in tbeir re- ] ciculous and shameful posi ions. 1 his will soon bring the ‘.farce to au end, j it Gen Meade shall prove true to his ; representations ; we have no confidence '' that he will, for he has do'ibtles already deceit and tb ePresident and therefore can not be trusted j but if he will carry out I what he prumises, the days of the Con vection (so-ca'lvd) are numbered. It is, beyond doubt, a good thing for such creatures as the delegates (good Lord) to sit quietly, talk nonsense and do nothing but munch pea-nuts for the consideration of eight dollars per diem at tbe expense of their betters, when their legitimate daily wages would be really, in their legitimate ephero as la borers, but two dollars ; but when the supplies cease, the pest of this Radical swiudltDg shop, under the name of Con vention, will stop also ; and so we can see some light out of all this darkness On tbe stoppage of tbe supplies, the convocation of niggers, scalawags, thieves, perjurers, idiots, traitors, con victs sod drunkards, misseallcd a Con vention, will disperse, and the atmos phete of Atlanta relieved to the preju dice of the r st of the State whero tbe presence of any of its component parts will be sufficient to breed a moral pes tilence. The epitaph of the foul otea tioa might be written in few words: — “litre lies the foul and festering oar case ot the (so called) Georgia Conven tion of 1868. Tte incestuous and un natural effsping of Radical villainy ana milit.ry usurpation, born in ain and brought up in aDiquity, nursed on tbe milk of brutal igneranee and nourished on the stolen spoils of a suffering and impoverished people, it has, by the mer cy of a pitying God, passed away, leav ing behind nothing to perpetuate its memory and that of its beholders but the acorn, contempt, hate and loathing of all that is good, honest and honorable in humanity.” Homicide in Rome, Ga. We learn fromja gentlemen, says the Atlanta Intelligencer , of this city, who was in Rome on Thursday last, tha that quiet eity was, at 4 o’clock of that day, the scene ot a fcarlul tragedy, the particulars of which are as follows : It appears thal Zach Hargrove, Esq., a citiien of Rome, and now conducting a drug store there was Provost Marshal of the place in Confederate times, and in discharging the duties of that position, had occasion to sine a distillery some where in that region of country, which at tbe time gave offence to the owner.— Mr. Hargrove had beard nothing fur ther of tbe circumstance until Thursday last, when two men made their appear ance in Rome, and calling upon Mr. 11. at his dreg store, informed him that they, or one cf them, had come for his blood—had ridden forty miles for that express ftl .se. r |ud that nothing else , ’ '- ,ur JWtNays one of them was heavily arm ed, and made do (ffort to conceal his weapons. Mr. Hargrove endeavored to conciliate the agtieved party by staling that he was simply as a Confederate of ficer in the performance of a duly—or obeying a millitary order—in seizing the distillery, that it wos Dot his purpose at the time to do him an injury, hoped be would not so regard it now, and that there was no necessity whatever for bloodshed in tke matter.’ This did not satisfy the men, however, when Mr. Hargrove agreed that if nothing but “blood” would do them, they could re turn id an hour when he would be pre pared to give them satisfaction. Upon this they retired, asd Mr Hargrove at once procured a double-barrel shot gun and awaited their second coming, hop ing at the same time that the better judgement of tße two men would pre vail, and that no serious trouble would ecsne. In this be was mistaken, for, at the expiration of the hour, the two men approached the drug store in a boister ous, threatening maDDer, with pistols in hand. Mr Hargrove was in readiness, but being still anxious to avert trouble, warned them not to approach nearer. At this one of the men fired a shot from his pistol, when Mr. Hargrove raised his shot gun and discharged its coutents of buck-shot into the body of bis assailant, tbe other man taking to heels. The wounded man lived about an hour. Hargrove sustained no inju ry save a painful wound in (he band, or 1 finger, by the pistol shot fired at him.— These are the particulars as given to us by one who was present. The Radical Pit Falls.— Citizen* of Ueo.*J' a ’ Florida, atid other cotton g.owing States, tvbo have been hereto fore extensively engaged tu "otton plant ing, have recently given us much ‘reiia bit information as to the retualu condi tion and prospect* of the cotton culture. Some of tfceve gentlemen have recently arrived here, and State ‘bat little prepa ration has been made this winter for a crop in 1868. The season has passed when it is usual to eDgage hands for the year, and very few planters have either the capital or the eonfideuce nec essary to engage in another crop. The delay by Congress in the passage of a bill for the repeal of the cottoD tax, and their refusal to apply the repeal to crop of 1867, and the increasing disorganiza tion and demoralization of negro labor, have had the effect to destroy the cotton culture as the leading ioterest of the South.— National lntelliyencer. VfT It is a»id that nearly one-halt of the Republican delegation from Ten nessee to the Chicago Presidential Con vention, of May :10th are negroes. Spei eli oi Air. Yl iMitlt‘ll iM-lort* Tlie fts-gro-Radtcul Conven tion We clip the following, ftorn the tbir ty-r.inth days proceedings ot the Geor gia unconstitutional N'gro Radical Convention: J E Bryant spoke as usual al>out distinction being made in the Conven tion nth account of birth. He was a citizen of tbe United States, and he objected to the eternal cry raised be cause a man was born in any other State besides that of Georgia. Mr J L> Waddell spoke as fol lows : Mr President—lt was not my in tention to trouble the Convention wi h a single word upon the subject imme diately before us ; and I should not now, hot for some remarks which fell from the delegate from Richmond (Mr. Bryant.) He complained be cause allusion had been made to the fact that some of the conspicuous del egates to this Convention —those ot truest on the floor—were recent resi dents of Georgia, and the intimated tnat iu consequence of that fact a prej udice was endeavored to be kindled against those delegates of Northern Birth. I have sat in this Convention nearly forty duys, and I appeal to those around me to know if twenty ill natured fling* have not been made at Georgians where one even respectful aliusiou has been made to New Eng landers. Four-tilths of the while peo pie of Georgia were rebels, “so-call ed,” am! not a day has been suffered to pass w hen those “rebels” have not been denounced, in some shape or form, by those who have assumed the tank of “injrralting upon the stock of Georgia ignorance New England ideas and New Englaud civilization ” They seem to have an intense loathing for those who bore part in the s ruggle for liberty—they denounce them as rebels and traitors No terms of re proach are rigorous enough to charac terize them by—no punishment is se vere enough to inflict upon thum.— When we tell them we have Barron dered in good faith—we have laid down our arms upon the honor of sol diers—we have abandoned what they call the “heresy of secession”—hence forth we mean to stand by the Union under tbt Constitution—it is all to no purpose, all without avail. They are no; content. They are greedy for tlie pound of flesh, nothing short of our ruin, degiadation, eternal disgrace, will appease or satisfy them Now, s'r, I have borne vituperation long enough. I am not ashamed of my record. There never was a moment since the date of my political accountabili y, when l was not true to the great prin ciples of popular liberty as laid down in the Constitution of the United Btates. It xas precise y because I conceived that that Constitution was practically overthrown, that its princi ples were in jeopardy, that its spirit Ignited Estates of a pactional candidate upon a sectional platform, that les (roused tbs cau>e of Georgia. Through her sovereign voice, she commanded me to avouch my ballot with my sword. I bowed to her high man date Georgia made me a citizen of the United States. I conceiveil she had the right to absolve my eitizer - ship. She commanded mo to defend her—the Federal Government com manded me to crush her I could not obey both masters. I elected without hesitation in obedience to the instincts of my nature, to stand by Georgia; the home of my childhood and man hood ; the graves of mi neighbors and friends ; the altars of my kind r ed ; the honored ashes of him whoso name I bear. Os w hom then shall I be afraid T Os what shall I be ashamed ? Ltt me here speak one word for myself alone, and if my voice could reach to th* uttermost boundary of creation, crea tion should hear the declaration. To-day, poor as I am, I would not exchange the memory ot the part I bore, humble aa that part wa.-, in the noble struggle of Georgia to be free, for the crown the Bourbon lost. 1 would not exchange' the memory of my poor pnrt at Manassas, Ge tysburg and Cbickumauga, and a dozen other proud, but melancholy fields, for the best hope I have If I erred, it was on the side of my State ad my section —an error, it one it be, that stands re corded in Heaven's Chancery upt n mercy's ( age. I erred, too, in compa ny witn the bet, the brightest and he bravest of my State, i erred with men whose names are garnered up in her hear’, whose valor shed unfading lustre upon her arms,“whose fame is among the jeweis of her crown, and over whose hero dust her most prec ious tears have been shed. Mr Baldwin here interrupted by in quiring whether Mr Waddell still held to secession ? Mr Waddell Secession was settled by the war. I accepted the result.— When I surrendered my sword, I sur rendered that doctiine. I surrender ed to Gen Grant, who is a man of honor, and has kept his pledge. I have kept, a?'! mean to keep mine Would that I could eSJ as much for some of his supporter? hero. My hon or was pledged, and that is ?pstained, But I will not eit silently by and hear the memory of those who perished in the effort to make secession glorious caluminated. Those Chri-tian heroes, Torn Cobb and Stonewall Jackson, who baptized your cause and mine, Mr President, in their bloud—who sacrificed life in maintaining it—over whose graves glory weeps—they are denounced by a party on this floor as traitors to 'he country, while Butler, the boas’, who incited a ruffian Hosi ery at New Orleans to violate defence less females—who went there a bank rupt in fame—who grew rich by plun der, robbery, rapine and th f. —he is n w a patriot 1 Put me down among the traitors ! Here a large number of delegates on the “other side cf the house” rose to their feet, looking horrified. They knew well that they possessed the numerical strength to crush the ape k er by fore©, and consequently they were fuiious to pounce upon him Nome hud questions t<» ask, and o hers had points of order ; but. to the eternal credit of Aaron A.

He argued his poiuts with his usual abili y. : After a tribute to C 0 Richardson, the deceased member, the Convention adjourned. Alalmuia Election Mews. The Montgomery Mail of the 6th inst., says: “The vote in this city during the past two days clearly shows that the outragtlruv Radical Constitution has been defeated by a fair aDd junt count. (Tbe negro vote has falUn short at least one half, unless there is a great iraud and swindling throughout the State, that iniquitous instrument is defeated by a large majority. The friends of tne Union, justice and fair ness can afford to allow for seme swin dling, and then, on a liberal count, the Radicals will not have the re quired majority Let our friends, how ever, keep a sharp watch, and defect and publish all frauds.and illegal vo ting ” “Accounts by telegraph from other portions of tlie State are equally en couraging, all of which go to show that the tjifamous Constitution is clear ly defeated.” A dispatch from Evergreen says : “Constitution lost in Conecuh. Ma jority cast to day only 140.” Similar U-legrams were received yesterday from different portions of the Slate. On'y tw o days of watchfulness remain. Let every white man do his duty Negro Riot and ISloodshcd. The usual order and quiet of the lan abiding community of Savannah Wait very seriously disturbed yesterday by tb-3 riotous conduct of au excited : crowd of negroes, who had, contrary to special a,id ditect orders from depart mental headquarters, set at defiance nut ouiy the civil but military authorities. Without designing to publish any sen ra'ional items in reference to the mat t.'ia a hrief history of '.he initial proceed pealed. 8 >nae time ago, Gen.

In ihe face of this plain order, pub lished officially, and au ordiuauceof the City C uncil agreeably thereto, ftomt evil designing persons organized a mas.- mertiug of negroes to be held in Chip pewa square, yesterday afterti >ou, with out notify tig sober the civil or military powers. They erected a stand, provided the speakers for the occasion, and con gregated a large crowd of excited ne groes upon the spot. This state of faote coming officially to the notice of the au thorities, an order was issued by His Honor the Mayor, for the dispersion of of the crowd, which was protnp !y exe cuted by the police force, and the square cleaned of the tumultuous as sembly The negroes then assembled at the African church, called “Andrew Chapel,” on New street, and reorgaoiz and their meeting. Notice of this fact be ing also brought to the attention of the autborilies, another order was issued, directing the Chief of Police to investi ga e the fact, and if any unlawful assent bly bad gathered to adjourn the same. Accordingly Gen. Anderson, accompa nied by five officers, visited the place and found a very excited crowd of ne groes assembled at tho church. He or dtred au adjournment of the meeting aid the dispersion of the crowd, which almost immediately commerced a furi ous attack upon the little squad, which was continued until reinforcements ar rived from the barracks ; then the fight became general Pistols, rocks and olubs were freely used until finally the rioters were dispersed, and some twenty six arrested a <1 carried to the Barracks We are Borry to state that Lieut, Bell of the Police force received a severe flesh wound in the leg, from a pistol shot fired by ODe of tb? rioters, as also a wound in the load with a rock IL however remained at hi* post until ovei come and fait t from loss of bLod, when he »? s carried to his residence, and the ball extracted and his wounds dressed by Dr Bulloch, Lieutenant Howard was knocked senseless by a blow on the bead with a rock, and which liked to have proved Dial.

An exchange makes the following sensible remarks ; “There are many people who make it a business to sponge the reading of their oounty paper without any expense to themselves. This has often been noticed acd commented upon. They are found wherever the paper is left—in n shop, office, store, or barber shop—and often borrow it before the owner has an op portunity of raising it from the table Tnis is done by very many who are abundantly able, and whose duty would seem to bo, to sustain their county p«- p r, by subscribing aud paying for the same. ’ WHb coDmetency a great soul has simply nothing to do.
