Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 2, 1868. )
General Orders, No. 22.
Numerous applications having been made
to the Major-General commanding, relative
to the provisions and the execution of Gen
eral Orders, No, 49, series of 1867, from
these headquarters, and being satisfied Irom
reports and representations, that in some in
stances, the operations of the order have
pgoved embarrassing and of ao effect not
designed when issued—the intention having
been to prevent bv prompt and energetic ac
tion, the Use of official patronage to obstruct,
hinder, and delay reconstruction under the
acts ol Congress—he therefore directs that
the aforesaid order be modified to read as
follows :
I. The giving of all advertisement* and
•other official publications heretofore or here
alter to be proviued for by State or mils
nicipal laws, by the civil officers whose duty
it is to cause such publications to be made,
fa prohibiting to such newspapres, and such
ouly, as attempts to obstruct in aur manner,
the'civil officers appointed by the military
officers iu this District, in the discharge of
their duties by threats of violence, of prose
cution or other penalty, as soon as the inilta
ry protection is withdrawn for acts perform
eijin their official capacity.
11. If in any of the counties in either of
Abe Suites iu this Dist’iet, tlieie be but one
newspaper published, civil officers whose du
*y it is to advertise in accordance with law,
are atl'borized to advertise in said paper re
gardless ol the provisions of paragraph I, of
this order.
111. AH officers in this J/ilitary District,
■whether military or civil, and all boards of
registration, or other persons iD the employ
ment of the United States under military
Jurisdiction, are directed to give prompt at
tention to the enforcement of this order.—
dJpposiliou to reconstruction, when conduct
ed in a manner, is not to be con
sidered au offence •, but will be so considered
when accompanied by violent and incendiary
articles threatening the preservation of the
peace, or by attempts to obsuuct 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 re
ported to tueoa headquarters.
IV. This order is not to be construed as
effecting advertisements being published at
the dale of the order, or prior to its receipt
Tty the civil officer who is effected thereby.
By orderof Major General Meade.
E. C. Deck,
Assistant Adjutant General.
r*r We publish in another column,
an order from Gen. Sibley, advising ev
«ry Precdmen in Georgi*, who is idle,
io make contracts on reasonable term*
»ith farmers, and oot to look to the
Convention far belp, as it is perfect f >l
- Convention has nothing to do
with them in the least. It is a sensi
ble order and good advice, and the frecd
jx.cn ahould pay s'rict utten'ion to it.
Radicaliaw oh the Decline.
We gladly see that from some of the
recent town elec ions in tbe State of New
York, that the Democrats have rapidly
gained ground within the last year. In
ErwiD, out of a total vote of only three
hundred and eighty-seven, there has
been a gain c-1 sixty-si*, and in Ogdets
burg, there has been a gain of throe
hundred since the last election ; and in
many other Northern towns there have
been a considerable gain. We earnett
ly hope ’ere loDg to see the flag of true
Democracy wave in proud defiance over
the heads of tbe infatuated, deluded and
crack-brained Radicals North and South;
and that the very last vestiges of such
hateful and diabolical politics may soon
be utterly destroyed and buried forever
in oblivion; and for God’s sake may
they never be dug up -and spread abroad
in this country again, only to let pos
terity see what a cruel, malignant and
treacherous race onct, inhabited aud in
fected this sunny home pf ours. We
call them cruel, because they would
gladly starve us, not ODiy byjthcir in
fernal and severe taxations, but also by
the indisci iminate use of every means
■in their power to deprive us of the “lit ■
tie all” we now possess ; malignant, be
cause they would have us, a highly civ
ilised and honorable people, ruled by
tbe savage and utterly incapable negro ;
and treacherous, because they have been
found by the negro himself as unwor
thy of his trust.
Another Grand Failure.
W e eee that the second attempt to
impeach President Johnson has entirely
failed. The immortal Thadeus has just
discovered greatly to his own “chagrin”
and sorrow, that the Republican party
is a failure, and consequently he ac
knowledges that be, Grant and hi;
friend?, have become frightened and de
moralized, and wc advise them to go to
the rear, not for more ammunition, but
simply to cool their sabres, for they have
fought so hard and made such desperate
thrusts and cuts, that they have heated
their weapons up to such a point that wc
»r« very much afraid they will bend and
stay bent; so they bad better bring
them out to 000 l off in time.
Removal from Office —We learn
that on the 20th inst , the Mayor of
Charleston, Gaillard was removed from
that office, and his place tilled by Gen
eral Burns.
Ykky Ginkhuus Inured. Tne
Montgfmery Sentinel, a radical paper ol
the deepest dye, in speaking of those
white men whose names were published
for voting for tbe constitution in Ala
bama, propi ses, as a counterbalance, a
'■mild corfi.eati in” if tbe property of
those who dismusrd from their employ
ment the negroes who voted Radical
wise. This is like the man whoeboktd
his wife to death and then said hu did
it as “iendtrly as possible.”
The Hope of D-e Country.
Many are the schemes, projects and
theories, says the Griffin Star, as to
what is necessary to make the South
prosperous again. Some say the tri
umph of some political party—some
that of another—others setm to think
that factories must bo built upon every
shoal, and that the bu y bum of mill
ions of spindles is the only music to
which the song of prosperity can be
sung. However much these influences
might effect us as a people, we do not
hesitate to offer tbe opinion that a prop
er system of farming, is by far the
greatest auxiliary to our success and
prosperity. Whenever the farmer
thrives, all other interests prosper; when
he languishes, so doc 9 the mechanic,
merobant and professional men. What
we need, then, before everything else, is
to see the farmer out of embarrassments
and prospering. Another thiDg is very
desirable, and that is to see as many
engaged in agricultural pursuits as pos«
sible. Tbe great influx lo tbe towns
bas not been ooDfined to tbe negroes
alone. Thousands of planters and their
sons, who had more or less means, fl ek
ed to the towns and cities to engage in
merchandise, etc, they left the business
they understood, and branched out in
to new fields. True, it made tbe town
appear flourishing, bat it was all a de
ception ; and now many of these people
are now involved in debt, and not a few
financially ruined We have seen this
with pain all over Georgia ; and when
we see the town people flocking back to
to the country, then will our hopes
brighten.
With such a land as ours to operate
in and upon, even though tbe son of lib
erty should set forever, there is no ex
cuse for our people to remain in penury
*r be araroped for tbe necessary com
forts of life. Intelligent industry and
well regulated economy, will fill our
eribs and smoke-houses, if not our pock
ets. Let ccr farmers study agriculture
as a science, and carry it into practical
effect. Let every man take hold of a
plow that is not certain be can do bet
ter.at something else. Let the fields
groan with tbe weight of grain crops,
aiid cotton be a teeondary considera
tion, and the time is net far distant,
when prosperity will again be lound at
almost every Southern home. We ere
pleased to observe a great improvement
in agriculture in m»Dy sections already,
among tbe small farmers especially, and
trust tbe time is not far distant when it
will be general.
Hits tlic Nail on the Head.
The New York Commercial (Repub
lican,) speaking of the infamous attempt
the Radicals are going to make to jump
Alabama into the UnioD, by letting in
bogus representatives,—about hits tbe
nail on the head when it sais:
■‘The R-dicaU want the Electoral
vote of the Rebel States. Chief Jus
ticc Chase, slimed iff tbe Bench and
draggled in ermine through the dirt iD
political harrangues to Degroes in South
Carolina, inaugurated, with the aid of
the Tribune, a policy which wiil, bring,
as was once said of slavery, “premature
gray hairs into the the head of the Re
public.” 1 herefore, go on Gentlemen
Senators and Representatives. Set your
faces against, and your feet upon, the
white men of the South, l’iaoe tbe
Government of these States in tbe
.bauds of “Ficedtnen who arc ignorant
of the means by which suffrage ia ex
j,-essed.” As, like ail other excesses
of Radicalism, Negro supremacy is to
be inaugurated, l e & if come at once.—
The whites will theC take care of them
selves. The coDfliot wilt ho fierce, and
its result and consequences totu.e blacks
as fearful as inevitable. Those who iV r
a temporary politcal object, thus doom a
ransomed race to destruction, will live
to be execrated and die a reproach to
that "liberty in whose name so many
outrages have been perpetrated.”
The Good Time Coming. —Dr.
Clarke s noted spiritualist, who has
been on a recent 'visit to Warrcnton
Ga., says it has been revealed to him
that this country bas but seen the be*
ginning of her troubles, but that those
to come are to be borne chiefly by the
North, (which, if true, will be some
consolation to poor Southerners.) He
says we are to have no mors Presidents;
that there are to be wars and revolu
tions for the next fourteen years, dir
iog which time England will lose her
crown forever, and Ireland will 6hakc
off her shackles and become free and
independent; that, after the lapse cf
fourteen years our country will again
be organized, with the capitol at Chica
go, and, during a long period of yeaie,
enjoy a degree of prosperity hitherto
unknown in the history of any land.—
All of which wc learn from the Greens
boro Herald.

WHAT WI MUST DO.
As the supremacy of the negro is to
be propped up and deiended by Fed
eral bayonets, the course which we
should pursue can no longer be a mat
ter of doubt. We must oppose to
every act of negro power and authori
ty the most defiant and resolute hostil
ity. We must render no tribute to
the negro Caesar, unless he conies With
the g itteiing bayonets ot his military
flunkeys to enlt rce his authority. We
must resist, trample in the dust, and
puni-h every attempt of a degraded
and infciior race to ad minis er the
Slate government in Virginia unless
he is supported by Federal soldiers
Treated as a conquered people who
have lost all political and civil r ghts,
we can save our honor untarnished
only by making the soldiers no all the
dirty work of their African masters
Ifthe negro imposes taxe-, let every
black lax gatherer know that no Vir
ginian will "render tribute” unless
forced to do so by the soldier The
spirit of our poble people must flame
forth so tiereely at every attempt of
our lute slaves to rule over us mat
the administration of the negro govern
ments in the teouth must require a
standing army of not less than two
hundred thousand men. If we are
not only to be ruined, but. asoto be
put to the sword through Radical
agencies lor resolute resist nee to ne
gro domination, let the work be com
pleted by the muskets ol the white
renegades of that General to w hom
tbe Army ol Northern Virginia ear
rendereu 1 upon a pledge ot security
for tbe lives add rights of our people.

Washington, Fib 23 —Stanton has
been lodging in tbe War Departin' ut

to this course by Congressmen who ap

to tako possession of tho offieo by force.
Grant yester lay detailed Col. Carr,
a number of Gen. Emery’s staff, to ra

have been doubled.
Large numbers of members of Con -

long conversations with him They as
sured him of the support of all the Re
publican members—that tteir par'y
would act as a unit io both b«u-<s, and
now that impeachment was fairly inau
gurated, there would be uo 'altering un
,til the matter is completed.
After the impeachment resolution
passes to morrow, Stanton will go home,
as bis friends think, after that event,
the President will venture on no ag
gressive measures.
It is ascertained that Grant and Em
roy -tbe latter commanding the De
partment-will obey no orders of the
President that, cor fl ct with the tenure,
oft* ffic hi 1 or the expressed will of
the Senate. It has not transpired, bow—

In tbe whole matter so far, the Pres

G‘’urt for a quo warranto against Stan

The President has nominated Thom
as Ewing, of Oh.o, for Secretary of

The excitement to-day bas been great,
but events have made no progress and
this evening tbe town is tonning down.
Tbe more wild of tbe Radicals as

The President is reported as saying
that he recognized no one but Gen.

I» has been br ught to tbe notice of

of you are refusing to make contracts

been ordered not to work at present.
No C invention will, or c»d, exempt
you from labor for tho support of your—
stives and families, and persons who ad
vise you not to make contracts have no
interest in you, further than to keep
you loitering about the towns until you
have spent the last cent of your hard

not make contracts, and are not able to
Provide for yourselvea and families;
will these advisers feed audolothc you ?
Toey oounot do it.
White, on one band, the people tell
you not to make contract., and not to
go to work tbe Agents of tbe llureau

every "exertion to procure employment
and home* for you another year ; and
wbije they are told to secure for you
the best possible wages, they are also
told to bear in mind the distressed con
dition of the planters here; the ex
tremely low price of cotton, and conse
quent scarcity of money; and the prob
able reduction of farming operations,
aod that it is absolutely necessary that
you go !o work to seoure your families
against want and suffering.
People whom you cannot bold respon.
sible, tell you not to go to work, while
the Ag-nts of this Bureau, as officers
of the Untied Stateu Government, tell
you that you should go to work at once,
making the best contracts that you can,
under the circumstances, with parties
who can aud will pay you for your la

crop cau be secured to you. Make con
tracts before the Agents of tbe Bureau;
they will try ta secure for you the best
possible wages, aud to ensure the pay
ment when due.
Now is the time when yon must make
contracts if you make any for the pres

Throw Him si Tow.
The North Georgia Republican, says
the Albany Newt, a smalt craft hereto
fore cruising in the interest of radical
ism, has bcoome disgusted with its asso
ciates, “cut loose from its moorings”
and proposes to “cruise in an opeu tei.”
The cruise of the Republican has
been much more respectable than any of
the black sheets in G-xogia, as, by its
location, a streak of while has, all along,;
b-en visible in its co.ors.
The editor, in a 1 ngthy, well writ
ten article, gives his reasons lor aban
doning the carpet-hag scalawag-nigger
institution, which he clm-e* as fillow.-:
“As the Draper reconstruct im meas
ures, uuder which the Conventions of
most of the seceded States are now in
session, have not been productive of
such satisfactory results as we had hoped
and expected, and is we believe that
many and great evils will result from
the present proposed measures, we, out
of self respect cut loose from our moor
ings and seek ao op -u sea, with the con
stitution and flag ot tbe Uui"n at the
masth .rtd of p-ur little craft Under tbe
suoiight of humanity and reason we
cruise ; and shall only inaae harbor at 1
such time and place as will neither ex
pose ourselves to raging Charybdis ou
the nue baud, nor insatiate tSeylia on
the oib< r.”
The Democracy can ass >rd to throw
him a tow, and lake him io ut of tbe
“open tea,” aud she can also t>fl rd a
friendly greeting to the white element
of North Georgia
Brick Fauieroy says the pay
master of Browulcw’s State Militia
hath shook tbe dust of Teun ssee fr m

thoroughly reconstructed State, leavit g

ELLINORE,
The roses ere blooming, sweet Ellinore,
Their perfumes on the breeie are wafting,
The birds are siogiug, ee ol ;ore,
In the bowers of natures pleating.
The Jeenainine it crowning tbe forest trees
o'er,
While tbe silver white Lillies ere springing,
On the margin of the brook, for thee, Elli
nore,
The gentle xephyre are softly sighing.
The waves roll on, as ever flinging,
The tinted sheila on the surf-beaten shore;
O’er the billows, comes mournfully sonnding,
Thy name, Ellfnore, sweet Ellinore.
The moon aud stars in tbe pale aky are abin
b'g,
As brightly as ever before,
They have lost tbeir charm to one reptniDg,
For the smile of gentle Ellinore.
Tby musical voice, ne'er though tbe oot is
singing,
Tby bird-like soogs are heard no more ;
Beneath the willows, tby laved form is re
posing,
Sadly 1 mourn for thee, lost Ellinore.
Hark ! through tbe lone woods a voice comes
whispering,
“Though elouds of sorrow round thee low*
er
Soon, soon, in celestial glory beaming.
Thou shalt meet with Ellinore. ZEXA.
