The citing of all advettisements and other t ffida! publications heretofore or lid e aster to bo provided for by State or mu nicipal laws, by the civil officers whose duty it is to cause such publications to be made, is prohibiting to such newspapres, and such oulv, as attempts to obstruct iu any manner, the’civil officers appointed by the military officers iu this District, In the discharge of th. ir duties by threats of violence, of prose cution or other penalty, as soon as the milta ry protection is withdrawn for acts perform ed io iheir official capacity. 11.

During a eiiort staj in the city.of Macon, we bad the rleasure of forming tbe acquaintances of several gentlemen of the city pres?, by whom we were treated to the most hospitable manner, especially that lime-worn veteran of the Journal tU Messenger —leng tuay he five yet to [ropegate truth and justice in hit widely circulated paper. We re turn many thanks to the Telegraph for m kindly notice in the columns of that, odc among the best of newspapers. We would say that both papers in tho fresh, ness, vigor and honest boldness of their editorial, and in all that make No. 1 wide awake papers are surpaiscd by none North or South. We had the honer of meeting up with aim forming the acquaintance of that bold and learle* gentleman, Mr Grouby, editor of the Early County News. May he ever remain a terror to Bureau men and other pest, that infest our once glorious country. We also enjoyed the hospitality of the well known proprietor es the Na tional Hotel, Major B V. Dense, who cannot be surpassed. His well known fame deserves no comment from us. To The Farmer*. Every farmer should now have his corn land well brokeu or bedded out When this is well done and done in time you will find it to be half the work towards the making of a crop, and you will also be more than amply repaid for your trouble. Your land will keep soft and mellow until the' crop is laid by. Every hill of corn should bo manur ed if possible, and for every bill of corn, thore should be one of peas. If you cannot gather them ali, they will be found by your stock in the winter months when they so greatly need them. Every farmer should always plant enough in corn to make a yeur’s support, even if it should be a very dry year; and to make heavy corn— give good distance—say four and a half to five leet each way in ordina ry land; rich bottom land will ot course bear closer planting Another very important item in making corn is to secure a good “stand” from the : first planting ; the best plan to obtain . this is to never plant less than three grains in a hill, lour, or even five grains j is still better; out of this number you are almost sure to gel one stout, heal- : thy plant. Always thin down to one stand for uplands. George Chatters, a negro, who pretends to represent Stewart county in the "Menagerie” at Atlanta* was pardoned out of the Alabama Penitentiary by Governor Patron, iri May lest, for horse stealing.

Lot the Houlli Organize. We arc pleased to see movements commenced for Democratio organization in the South, says the LaCrosse Demo crat. It is important that this should be done early and well Every South ern Slate should he fully represented in the Democratic National Convention by its soundest and truest men. Setrd no O lifts, Joe Bitow ns or other wcak-kueed and reefeant Southerners—men who were embarrassing tho Confederate government and plotting its overthrow throughout the late tremendous strug gle for Southern rights and constitu tional liberty against the puritan cru sade tor the subjection of tho white men of the South to negro and mongrel supremacy, and who, since tho triumph of the Federal arms, in part by the aid of their machinations, have voluntarily placed themselves on a level with ne groes, and not onlywhat, hut sought to impose upon their white neighbors the. same degradation. This contest is to be waged upon prin ciple, and cur standard hearers must be men of principle, sound in the faith. Send as delegates from the South, men who can be depended upon—who know tbe true men of the North, and will stand by them. Let cot tbe votes of tho Southern delegates be east for men who, through either cowardice, venality nr lack of principle, aided and abetted the most gigantic wrong of modern days. Men of tbe South, bo true to them who have been true to you when it in volved peril of personal violence, dc - struction of property, unlawful impris onment, and even death |itself by meb law or illegal military commissions Set atidc all policy men who barter principle fer safety or office, for they have failed you in the past and will be tray you in the future. The surest way for you and us to win, is to put in nomination the boldest and most radical lUmocrats who can be found. The people are groaning un der mongrel rule. They want a change. The change they wont is one that will bring them relief. It must be radical, thorough, unsurpassing—one that cuts deep into the heart of the great ques tions that are agitating the public mind. They want to stop at no half-way houso between mongrelism and genuine De mocracy. We want men for President and Vice President who have nerve, pluck, military spirit and daring ! who, if they receive a majority of the white votes of the United States, including yours, men of the South, will march to Washing* ton at the head of and backed by the white men of Amcrioa, and take their sea’s, and reinaugurate the white man’s government, in spite of men or devils ! They will go "either with their shields, or upon them !" Dead or alive, they must go, borne, if need be, ly a million of armed men l Aod will- > s may be the progress or mongrel reconstruction—let your States be organized into block Status, or 6tand as tbey do now, in a state of po ll ical chaos—you, men of the South, must record your votes, and they must be counted, and as that count shall show, together with :he votes east by the white men of the North, the major ity for or against our caodidutes, so shall the result be declared, and to shall it stand and be carried out ! If this brings bloodshed, then let blood flow ! If ibis carries war into tbe manufac turing dis’rict and commercial cities of the North—if the torch which has blaz ed through the South, loaving but des olate hearthstones and blackened ruins, visits the grand structures ami costly machine of Lowell and Lawrence, built by the poor man’* sweat, and made prosperous by tribute wrung from the poor man’s bard earnings, and levels with the dust the proud and boasted palaces of Stewart and others, who arro gate the title of ‘‘Morchaot Princes” in our land, then let the torch blaze , and conjhtyration run not ; Hut ail tilts, and more aui worre come, if they will have it so, rather than acknowledge the just rights, and yield-to the mum rtf. bcrrE-macy or THE WHITE MEN OF AMERICA ! Let our candidates be pledged to this, and possess the supreme qualities oj reso lutton and courage to carry the thing through, and triumph is certain / Before such a spirit the mongrel cowards will quail, and acknowledge defeat. They would not dare to force on such an issue ! Then we say to all Democrats, both North and South, be firm ! be true !! be brave !1! Tbe destinies, the fate, the hopes, of our white race are in yonr hands, and ye can, yo must, ye WILL, save, restore and re-establish it in pow er and supremacy io all this land. White men sottlcd this country—re claimed it from the wi'derness'—grew into a great and prosperous people— lived in harmony, and fraternal love, and unity, till the hissing serpent of tnungrelism entered this great paradise of human freedom, and all was at once marred, and blackened, and rendered horrid, and loathsome, an though it had been visited with worse than the Egypt ian plagues- It is for us to restore its baeuty, re call its peaceful happinets, make glad iu sore and troubled hearts, and kil the accursed serpent which has been tbe author of so muoh wrong, and suffering and bereavement!

Meeting of lire Conservative Male Central Committee. Macon, Ga , February 13, 1868. In response to a call from the Chair man, the Central Committee of the Conservative Party of Georgia hold a meeting at the Lanier House, in this city, this evening, and the Secretary was instruc ed to spread before tbe public the following extract of their proceedings: “Whereas, The only party at the North which maintains the Cons'itution of the United States as made and con strued by the fathers, and the union ot the States thereunder, is organized un del the name of the National Demo cratic party; and whereas, all men in that dominant section of our common country, without regard to .he differ ences of opinion upon dead issues or living issues of minor consequence, em bracing the honored and illustrious names of Fillmore, Wintfcrop, Dolittle, tho Adamses, Dixon, Cowan, and o It ers too numerous to mention, are either moulded iuto that great organization or acting in cordial concert vithit; and whereas, dose co-operation with that parly is demanded by the instinct es self-preservation, the first law of na ture, as the only rational mode of es cap>e from the iron rule of military des potism, to he followed by the more humiliating condition of negro supre macy ; and whereas, many of the Clubs, organized in the several coun ties of this State under the auspices of this Central Exutive Committee, have already assumed the Democratic Dame, and others have forwarded here tboir action, requesting this Committee to assume tbe name of, and fuse all Con servatives into the body of that party : therefore, by virtue of the powers vest ed in us by tbe Convention assembled in tho city cf Macon in December last, "Resolved, That this Committee as Bums the name of and be hereafter known as, "The Central Executive COMMITTEE OF TUE NATIONAL DkXO cratic Party of Georgia,” and we recommend to the various Clubs vat present organised as Conservative Clubs, and to all tbe good people of Georgia, to torm upon this, the only practical constitutional line, and gath er under this, the only banner left lrom the wreck of the civil war, on which are still emblusoned the funds - mental truths taught by our fathers of every 'party throughout the entire country—" The Constitution, the only bond of fraternal UuioD—equal rights to every State, the only true construc tion of that bond.” "Resolved, That it would be prem ature, in view of the purposes of our late Convention, in the appointment of this Committee, to express any opinion or give any advice at the present time as to the proper action of the people of Georgia upon the proceedings of the Convention at Atlanta. "Resolved, That this Commute urge upon our friends in the several counties \ to perfect their organizations at the earliest day possible, and report to the Secretary of this Committee. "Resolved, That ihe tearless st’and I taken and mu’nturned by President Andrew Johnson, for the rights of the whole people and the Constitution of our country, deserves and receives from our honest and ; alrictio men wherever found, their unstinted respect and admiration j and that as men loyal' to the Const.lutiou, we desire to give public expression to our comnionda tion of his course.” Ttue exiruct from the minutes J R. Sneed, Secretary. Commenting upon the foregoing, the Macon Telegraph makes the following patriotic and sensible comments, under the head of* “Party Matters in Ueor gia “The Central Executive Committee of the Conservative Paity of Georgia held a meeting in this city Thursday night, and made some important rce onitnendations to the friends of the cause throughout the State An ex tract from their proceedings, imbrue n.'l matters of a nature to he made pub lic, w ill he found in our colums this morning. “It will be seen that the Committee have rocommended the immediate consolidation of tbe party which ii rep resents with the National Uemocratie party, and have given their reason? for the action. The matter was long and thoroughly discussed, with information drawn irom all available sources, and the Committee unanimously arrived at the conclusion that the course suggest ed was Dot only demanded by every consideration of policy, hut had be oomo, in view of the present jiosition of State and National affairs, as imper ative necessity Such is tbei r deliber ate judgement, and they trust the change recommended will command tbe unanimous and hearty ajjtoval of every Conservative in tbe State.— Speaking for ouraelvee, we have no hesitaiion in giving it our cordial en dorsement, and in advising our friends everywhere in the South to receive it in good faith and support it by their unquahfied co-operation We Wave nothing to do now with the dead past, wi’.h its names aud its struggles, and is partisan memories should hb ban ished forever from our minds. The Southern people are in chains and slavery, and the great work before them is deliverance aud libel ty. To no other organization under the sun than the Democratic party can we look for aid in this vital consummation involving aii that is dear to us ami our children. They are to-day, and are destined to continue to be, our only friends and, to say nothing of the dic tates of gratitude, the impulses of self preservation demand that we should idea ify ourselves fully with them and their eause. Any holding back or re luctauce in tho face of sacred an i im perative behests would be discredita ble to our reason and unworthy of us as a paople Old issues have passed away, and at the j resent, day there is not a solitary political principle, or theory, or measure advoca'ed by the National Democracy which they do not hold in common with the Conserv atives of the South. Their views, their aim?, their sympathies are all one and the sane. Thus identified, a longer separation would be uuw ise, unnatural, and unsafe. ’f t these reasons, and others that wo might name, we call upon every Consei vative, aud every patriot if whatever name, at the South, to rally to the support of the only party that, can triumph over the cohorts of des potism, give liberty to our oppressed people, and save from destruction ihe Constitution and government of our fathers." The Alabama Flection. From the returns already receivtd it appea s certain that the infamous negro Constitution has been rejected ly the people of Alabama. All honor to the honest white men and black men of Al abama. They have achieved a glorious victory against the most infamous com bination of force and fraud, and every species of villainy that ever disgraced a civilized community. This success in a sister State should animate and encour age the honest people of Georgia, both white and black, to rally in all of their strength, and vote down the negro abor tion, called a Constitution, which will soon make its appearance in Atlanta.— In some of its features the Georgia Con stitution is much more objectionable than that which has been rejected by the people of Alabama. Tbe Georgia Con stitution concocted in Atlanta appears to be constructed for the express purpose of degrading and demoralizing the peo ple. It offers a premium for dishones ty and gives aid and comfort to negroes of every sort. How can any man vote for such a Constitution without being suspected of dishonesty ? Or rather, how oan a man vote for suoh a Con stitution without feeling that he i sdis hi n ;rt ? The honest pcoplo of Alabam * have gained this important victory by means of a complete organization. We hope the honest men of Georgia will profit by the example set in Alabama. Let us have a rousing Domocratic Con vention, and by this meaos rally the people, and organize and prepare for the struggle. Let committees be ap pointed in every county, and see that none vote oxcept those who have the right, aod let them see that there is no cheating in counting the ballots. If we expect to defeat the Radioals, we must watch as well as pray, and Work as well as watch, from this time until the ballots aie counted.— Federal Ln ion. On all tides there is heard a demand for the enactment of laws to protect tiie young fr om the poisonous influence of obscene literature. The New York Herald, that has been for some time trumpeting for Andy Johnson, has thrown a flip-flap aiid comes out for Grant lor Presi dent.

We invite the attend a c-ur of readers, says the Atlanta \lntdligenc<r, and of the anti-radical P|css ol this B ate, to iho following address of the‘ Young M-m’s Democratic Club,” of this city, to the young men of our State That from one end of Ge ’rgia to the other the eli quqpt appeal will be responded to in a mariner indicative of the firm resolve on ihe part of those to whom it is addressed, that this must remain, as its original framers designed, a white man’* government, we have not a doubt. Read the address, young ruen of Geor gia, and prepare to do your duty to the homo of your fatbpra, to yonr own na tive or adopted State. To flic Young Mcr of Georgia. At * recent meeting of the “Young Meu’s Democratic Club ot Fulton Coun ty,” the undersigned were appointed a committee to prepare an address setting forth the purposes of our Association, and urging your co-operation for their accomplishment. Our object is tbe maintenance and perpetuation of the principles of the Democratic party as opposed to the dangerous political here* esies of Radicalism as connected with and subordinate ty this, tbe more i ffec'u al resistance to the rec -ns:ruction of our State under the late Congressional leg islation on the subject. Iu lliV"ktt>g your aid and sympathy in the m vi meut suggested, we beg to assure you that our conduc is not prompted by mere factious spin' of opposition, but has been decided upon af . r earnest aud careful rctl ction. We would bail with unaffec ed pleasure the restoration of Georgia to her aneient relations to the j General Government, but neither our sense of obligation to that government, nor the feeling of attachment which we cherish for eur native section, will suf fer us to oonsent for such restoration to take place upon a plan which, in our honest übJ deliberate judgement, is so monstrous in i's principle and so fraught with ruia and disgrace. Among many reasons which have in flueßoeii us, one of tho chief is the con viction that tbe measures kuowu us the Recons.ruction Aets arc in up. u and di rect violation of the Constitution under which they were<paßM‘d. Without un i taking to argue what is so obvious, ami i what has been elaborately and ably dis ) cussed, we shall rather content ourselves ; with begging you to abide, iu fidelity, - your obligations to that instrument | We would, however especially refer on | this point, to the veto messages if ! I‘resident .Johnson, a mao who, wbatev |er may have been tbe.-faults ami glo j rice of a long career of public service, - has ranked himself with tbe most illus trious <-f American patriots as an ex ! pounder and- defender ol the great na | tioual compact, it may be remarked here in addition, that, at a time vvbe i the dominant pany is ruled by very mad uess, its leader does not pro end to 6cck in the Constitution a pretext fur the nefarious and tyranical schemer which hatted has begotten of felly. Ut turns, outraged, from viba* is so barren of justification f.-r the iuiqui ies instiga ted by his malignant natuie, and, in de fiance, boldly declares himself as actii g outside of its provisions. .We a-sumed thee, that there Act* are uncoustitutiou jI, and wo now pro pound to you an inquiry which wc have addressed to ourselves ; ‘Shall the Con stitution be obeyed, or shall it fco vio lated?’ This question wc for our selves bavo answered. We stand by cur duty. What do you say ? TLeie can be but one response. Its consuuiate wisdom is expressed in ev.ry line.— Framed by statesmen who viewed ih character of man with a calm, deep r i n etration, and a thorough understanding of bis history, and who were faithful to his rights, it embodies all that can be wished for in a system for enlightened freemen. Tbe record of of our pas-, as a people, speaks for its observance with an unanswerable logic. When ever its principles have been held sa cred, the American people have been blessed with all that constittutos na tional happiness. Our prosperity is so interwoven with its doctrines that, wbik they are its explanation, it is their lib tory. It is alone our safety, our happi ness, and our prosperity. Besides, have we not sworn to protect and defend it ? If all other considerations mentioned, were worthb as and unavailing, we mneb misapprehend ihe character ot tiie young men of Georgia, it this alone would not be sufficient to control, them. Their oaths are inviolable. Then let us resist, to rhe utmost of our power, these acts which arc in such shamcle>s disregard of a Constitution to which we are bound by so many motives of inter est, of duty, and of honor. If, leaving these high considerations of unconstitutional duty, we inquire into the policy of these measures, wo shall still find occasion for uncompromising hostility to them. Tbe power with which, for the sake of humiliating us and confirming a parly despotism, 'hey propose to invest tbe negro, is without any show of justification. It oantra dicts all reason and experience as te re publican governments. It is an admit ted and 'Ct.ine that they rest, upon the in telligence, the virtue, and tbe discretion of theircitisens. This has been espe cially recognized and insisted upou by tbe American people. It has been the constant policy cf the government, al mosj from its foundation, to require ot foreigners, as a condition to naturaliza tion, proof of a resilience of several years wihitnuour territory, of good moral character, and attachment to the principles of tho Constitution, upon the theory that otherwise it would be dan-: gerous to entrust them with the rights of citizenship, 'Though this dootrine is indisputable in itself, ali i has receiv ed our ut questioning sanciiou, Rtdieal isur strives, without demanding any such preliminary qualifications, or, in deed, any qualification, to commit the elective tranchisii, the CLp t privil.gc of a citizen, to every negro man ■1 full ige ia the whole S> u'h M< nos our color and blood, seeking a refuge on our g-ueiuus shores, no in >Uer what their character, understanding, or cultivation, must pass along preparatory process, aod b-; otaiir.ued before euurts, before bt e -uiiDg cit.zons ;,bul a people who know not the t-fguificatioß of government, who are fresh from a state the moat un friendly to the requisites of republican ism, who for intelligence bring to it the profoundcst ignorance for the training frecmcD, tbe education ot abso’utc sub j ction, and for virtuous and manly character, tbe imbecility of childhood and the vices of a social degradation, must have lavished upon them, unsought the highest immunities of -American citizenship, It ;s to he remarked, too, thi- sudden and irrational elevation of these people is not for tbe purposes of a oaut ous, temporary experiment, to be J mited to a small number, tew enough to be powerless for evil j nearly one hundred thousand in the single State of Georgia are, at once, by tbe permanent organic law, to be summoned from the darkness, the stupidity, and the vice of abject slavery to cgeiche, at the ballot box, »ke sacred functions of freedom and become, to a large extent, the blind arbiters of destiny to millions of (hem selves and millions of us. That this authority should be vested in any men who unite iD themselves only the ele ments of unfitness for its right use, would seem to be a wrong mighty enough j when we refloct that these men were, with no consent cf ours, freed fr m a bondage to us, these m asures, while-pr. posing to perpetrate and per petuate and unprecedented wrong, be come, at once, incomparably odious and’ tm-ul'ing Tho adjustment of politi cal rights under the Reconstruction -etieiU' lines not, however, stop here.— Tho exultation of the negro*is attended with what is of kindred character, the distrancUisement and consequent loss of us, iu a measure, of a majority of our ablest and best statesmen, Here, more than elsewhere, if possible, appear the diabolical auimus ol Radicalism. With out ii.vestiga'ion or heariog, the fate of this class is decided. Ability and fi delity in public place, and the affection of their follow citizens are *i.z and upon as the test and made tho guaranty of distrust aud dishorn r. Gan the young men of Georgia, by voluntary couseut, become parties to a legislative policy so full of studied injury aud humiliation to our once proud Commonwealth ? We confidently believe that you sym paibizo with the purposes and opinions we have thus expressed ; and we, there fore, call upon you to uaite with us - in an earnest and determined endeavor to make them effectual. In our judge ment, this can be most successfully ac complished by the formation, in every county in the State, of organizations similar to our own, and we, therefore, beg most respectfully to urge upon you tbe adoption ol this plan. By a zeal 'ous, patient, combi usd struggle, it may be, that, under a favoring Provideueo, our 1 v and Georgia may be rescued from the dread destiny that threatens her, and again rendered worthy of her glo rious past.
