Headq’bs, Sd Military Dis't, } (Georgia, Florida and Alabama.) > 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of their duties by threats of violence, of prose cution or other penalty, as soon as the inilta ry protection is withdrawn for acts perform eijin their official capacity. 11.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. “Sic fe<'ui|Mtr Tyraiiuia!” Proud, g’orirue Old Virginia ! how we honor thee mid thy noble sons !

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.

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— evi r, that tne Prt siden* has issued, or iut'-uds issuing, sueh orders. In tbe whole matter so far, the Pres ident has • outined himself to civil pro ceedings, and has directed that an ap plication be made to-morrow to the G‘’urt for a quo warranto against Stan ton.

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 his brogans; hath departed from that thoroughly reconstructed State, leavit g no invitation to bis friends to onrresp md with him, and like a loyal patriot tak ing all of the nialilia iund with him 1 ' Brethrenj let ut pray one ririug Fjr ihe “Dawson Journal.” 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.
