The result win Boot 1», inoog, fled the• city without age. of dissatisfaction, is the subjection of several counties in which there are white majorities to the black voteis on account of the district ap- oriioiiment, which unites counties by sweeping away county lines. These are certainly crying evils that every consideration both of-justice and expediency should he corrected at once, and we learn by the telegraph and our Northern ex changes that a petition setting forth these griev ances, and numerously signed by the influential citizens of Georgia, bus been forwarded to Wash ington asking for redress and justice, but up to the present hour, no favorable response has been given, President Johnson and General Grant both declaring, ignonuid- ... it may appear, that they do not pos_ u right this wrong. “Now, while we nre anxious to yield a heart}' and willing support to the cause ot Reconstruc tion, honesty, self-respect and our ideas ot patri otism will not sanction tlie endorsement of such u fraud or criiuiual blunder as this, for us we un derstand and interpret tlie Reconstruction acts of Cougress no such power is given to General Pope or any other military commander. Wocan hardly believe that Gen Pope would knowingly sustain any such uropositio.-i.as this, to jdrre-ttie %Wt(j people ot xSeOrgia under the complete domination of the black race ; hut as tlie record now atands such a result is inevitable, and to its knowledge we attribute a great deal of the de spondency that prevails throughout the State among the white people " Apart from this dilemma, the threatening at titude assumed by tlie illiterate white adventur ers and office-seekers that have swarmed Georgia, anil the insolence of the Bradley class of negroes, have conspired to disgust that class of respecta ble and well-meaning white citizens who were not intimidated at the prospect of negro supre macy. It it were not tor the disfranchisement of brains and intelligence and the enlraucbise- Uient of vice and ignorance, these formidable obstubles would not present themselves to dis hearten our people and impair their oonfideuce in any work that the Convention may do. *’ It would he useless and wicked ior us to st- lempl to conceal our tears for the success of the Convention, but we cl ins: only to tlie forlorn hope, oinl shudder f«r ibe result. God grant that unr apprehensions may prove groundless, and that the Convention may be governed by justice, Wisdom, and Moderation " I Tlie white Virginian who had not been disfran chised by the Radical Congress, and who had duly registered, when he made his appearauce at the polls was jostled and oiten insulted by Hunnicutt’s negro followers; and the negro who dared to vote against the Radicals fared still worse, for he was pursued and treated in the most brutal manner by armed ruffians of his own race. On the other hand the polls were kept open till after midnight to allow all Radical negroes to vote. The whole power of the Radi cal military government was brought to bear for t he benefit of the worst class of Radical candi dates, Titus rt is that the Radicals endeavor to main tain their ascendency. If the people were al ready outruged and disgusted by their usurpa tions, and their efforts to legislate negro supre macy over ten Stat«s of the Union, and negro equality over all the rest, what is occurring in (tie administration of the reconstruction acts will certainly not tend to diminish that abhorrence and disgust. Too long lias the nation been subjected to the domination of a party guilty of such outrages. Thank God, the day tor the chaining of the Radical devil is at hand 1—LouieerJU Courier.

[From the Teona {Hi.) Democrat, Oct. 34.] A few' days siuce we heard of a case, which, for dastardly conduct, surpasses any we have ever before heard of, and lest the party would not snlistantiate the charges, withheld publication until now, when further developments make the charges beyond a doubt. The lacts are these: About two years since a man by the name ot J. B Craig, a Methodist minister, was located by the Conference at El Paso, and given charge of a church at tint place. Having a family, being ol good address, very’-loyal and loud in his denun ciation of copperheads, of course he at once was the lion of the town. His company was sought l»y all the loyalists in the burg, aud many were the lea parries given for “our minister’ and his lady, especially the former. So popular was Soon it the hi;i was, Ei ceremony or baggage. Last night, however, in the approval ol a crowded house, he seemed oblivious ot what, to him f.-svme So near resulting in a rt-al tragedy. J noticed last evening, iu the leading room ot the Burnett House, a ministerial looking gentle man depositing different-tracts in the several va cant chairs. :?<uisfic-d trout his appearance that ue was neither the instrument n u r tlie agent of anew humbug, curiosity prompted me to see what they were. The first was a treatise ou the “ Evils of Profane Swearing;" the second enti tled " Almost a Christian," with others ou moral and religious subjects. It is a goo® idea. There never was a time when the people ot this coun try were more in need of social, and moral, and religions reform The demoralization at tlie South, bears no comparison to that of the North. At the South, in addition to the barbaric ten dency of all wars, it may bo attributed in a meas ure to the loss of a sacred cause, as well as to that ot property. But if the adversity of the South should he the real cause with her, then indeed has success and prosperity to the North been attended with far greater evil. The Radicals iu this State are not quite so radical since the late election. The result of tbat contest was like fine bursting, at once, of a thousand shells in their midst. It scattered them in confusion, and they are not likely to rally their forces again. A number of leading Demo crntic papers in this State, as well as some else where, are advocating the claims of Hon. Geo. II. Pendleton for the Presidency in 1868. If Pendleton is held in reserve for the Presidential nomination, then Yallaudigham, or S. 3. Cox, will be elected to the Senate. Yallaudigham made a most telling speech the other day on the same spot where be delivered the speech during the war which caused his arrest and banishment. Thousands were in attendance, and the people gave him a most enthusiastic reception. In one respect the South should seek to imi tate the North—that is, iu her system ot agricul- With the Northern people farming is reduced to the economy of science. Every far mer it would seem was versed iu a knowledge ot agricultural chemistry. The lands iu the main were poor in their natural state, but their capacity lor production is attested by the com parative perfection- which they have attained under judicious improvement and systematic culture. The larrns nre mostly small, and the laborers few, the use of machinery having su perseded, in many respects, the necessity of manual labor, so that one man now cultivates as much as several did years ago. The product of these small farms is very large, and the profit is great er than that which is realized by the South ern planter.

Among tlie members of the church was an aged gentle man, Charles McClellan, a widower, with three single daughters. He was also loyal, possessing lull confidence and a high degree of reverence for liis minister, often had him at his house, tiiiuking him a suitable person to inculcate the true doctrine, not only of religion, but political ideas as well, in the minds of his daughters. Tilings passed on 3moothly, until a lew months i since, the reverend gentleman found it to his in- i ’ terest to choose another location, which he did | in Fulton county. Shortly after leaving, one of McClellan's daughters seemed disconsolate and troubled, and, on being pressed by her white- haired father tor the reason, finally, from stern necessity—as she, from her personal appearance, could hide it no longer—made a full confession of her shame; and, to make the matter doubly datu liable, she is an invalid—never had good health, is badly deformed, and of weak mind. She said tbat shortly after Craig commenced vis iting their house, he told her of his sympathies merits, with the saving and proper application of manures, and the growth of self-sustaining crops, would, in a few years, cause tlie South to blos som like the rose. She must learn to rely less on cotton than in the past. She will fiurttliis a necessity ol the times. Before the war tlie cot ton monopoly of the world was hers. The ne cessities of the war, however, attested the profit and practicability of growing cotton in Egypt and India. Their present crop is estimated to have been produced at a cost of about seven cents per pound, whilst in the South, at present prices, the planter, alter defraying aii the ex penses of production is without profit. How ever unpleasant these facts may appear, they are nevertheless true, and the sooner the cotton planter takes counsel ot them, the better ior the interest of his section. The reckless extravagance with which' the government has been and is being administered j From these figures-sotne curious facts appear. In the first place a gerrymandering of Mississippi j and Florida, is a purely gratuitous rascality, the ' blacks having a majority there any way ; and, 1 secondly, it appears from the whole array that ! in the eyes ot those wild deafen us with this j cuckoo erv ot “equality,’’ a white mau’s I vote in the South is only from, a third to a half as good as n negro’s. To put this more exactly,'a white mau’s vote m Virginia is fvrti/-3)X (46) per cent, less valuable than a black man's; in Georgia, ruty-three (631 per cent, less; in [Mississippi, seventh-one (7\) per cent; and in Florida one hundred and waft/(160). In other words, it takes one gad a half white men in Vir ginia to equal a negto; in Georgia cue and three- fifths; in Mississippi? one and seven-tenths ; and in Florida two and a half! Now this is a pretiv exhibit, isn’t it, ior a party that is forever holding up the absolute equality of all men as something not to be infringed with out portal sin. Why, these selfsame gerry mandering Radicals were of such tender con science that they coffid not abide even the old three-fifths ru e of the fathers. They never rest ed till they overthrew that rule, and in order to stamp their eternal jpjprobation of the inequality it embodied they Hive now ordained in the South the same kinfi of rule, jnst thirty-seven per cent, the otluar way.

It was on a bright January morning, in 1862, 1,750 that, obeying orders just received, we left 807 Charleston to take up our abode for the time in 100 the famous fort w'e have mentioned. Having 42 disposed of our “impedimenta ,r in quarters so free and airy that a sea-eagle would have re joiced to keep us company, we repaired with I certain brother officers to the “outer walls,” where, from under the lee of a great “colum biad,” we beheld a scene, the features of which are even now wonderfully distinct and real.- Tlie ocean lapped the rocks beneath with a lou low, gentle murmur, and so profound was tlie tranquility of wave and sky that one found it difficult to believe such a scene destined for spectacles oi blood and ruin ! Multitudes of gulls and oceau birds ot every variety skimmed the surface of the water, or lazily floated ou lan guid wings Ihrough the deep-blue atmosphere. Far within the bar, and snugly anchored to the southward, there were fleets of fishing-boats, manned chiefly by negroes, and showing like large ink-blots against the rvater line. The nu merous buoys which marked the channel stood motionless, except when the lightest anil most dainty of breezes w ould ripple the waves and heave their white and green bulks with a slow sweep, like the sweep ot a pendulum. A single steamer—the smoke from its chimneys rising al most perpendicularly in the air and then melt ing into miftty clouds—labored towards the city which had never looked more peaceful—the grand spire of St. Michael’s Church glittering with a xvliite radience, and suggestive of faitli and good will towards all mankind! But as the eye, returning from these objects, crushed—so to speak—across the intervening billows, while they gradually passed upon a strong ebb tide sea-ward, one’s sigiit was arrested by the long black hulls of no less than five blockading vessels. Fancies of peace, of household happiness, of unint errupt ed Christian worship were rudely dispelled, and the real condition of things about us forced itself upon the reluctant mind. Meanwhile in the of fing—and, strange to say, just above the largest of ihe blockaders—a single group of clouds had gathered. “Look, there!” exclaimed one of our compan ions—the poet of tlie garrison—“an omen, boys, atf omen, who can leud me a pencil? for the muse, suddenly descending, demands to be heard.

Resting and refraining trout secular labors on that day, let us reverently and devotedly give thanks to our Heavenly Father for the mercies and blessings with which lie has crowned the now closing year. Especially lei us remember that he has covered our land, through all its ex tent, with greatly needed and very abundant har vests ; that He has caused industry to prosper, not ouly in out fields, but also in our work shops, in crur mines and in our forests. He has permitted us to multiply ships upon <>ur lakes and rivers and upon tiie high sea-, and nt the same time to extend our non roads so lar into the secluded places of the Continent as to guarantee speedy overland intercomoC between The two oceans. He has inclined >ur hearts to turn away lrom domestic contentions and com motions consequent upon a distracting and deso lating civil war. and to walk more and more it; tiie ancient ways ot loyalty, conciliation and brotherly love. He has blessed tlie peaceful ef forts with which we have established new and important commercial treaties with foreign na tions, while we have at the same time strength ened onr national defenses, and greatly enlarged our national borders.

Nothing could be firmer than the closely compressed mouth— and notwithstanding the delicate pallor of the complexion, there was a fire in bis roving, gayish- blue eyes, an almost liaughty-pnise of the" head, and a general air of repressed but indomitable vigor m his whole organization, attitude and bearing which bespoke tiie man of ready re- souices, keen perceptions, and an ardent but iron will. One hand, as he stood, rested care lessly upon tiie muzzle of the columhiad, and we could not fail to remark that, though thin, small, and white almost as a woman’s, it was yet lull of muscular strength. Such was the appearance of John Mitchel, captain in the Piovisionai Army oi the Confed erate States, as we first saw him. Subsequent communications placed us in possession of the faet that, before the war, lie had been a civil engineer, prosecuting his profession with fair chances of success iu Eastern New York. No business, perhaps, affords so many opportunities of adventure as this, and often we have listened to Mitclie) over the evening fire in quarters, as with a quiet, sly humour peculiarly his own, he has detailed the circumstances of many a back- wood’s encounter with Yankee speculators and the small railroad officials of ambitious villages and pufied-up ^corporations 1 But there can be no a sol lend.

R. J. Ward, of Louisville, Ken tucky. She is the lady whose wfjpderons beau ty was the theme of general Comment some years ago, when she gave ln-r J and—a child bride—to Mr. Bigelow Lawrence, son of Abbott Lawrence, American Minister at the Court of St. James. The marriage was an unfortunate one for the youthful lady, brought up in the lap of indulgence, and idolized by her family. Site found herself coldly regarded, criticised, and per secuted by her Boston connections, who influ enced her husband to harsh treatment ot her, j and her health gave way under the distress and desolatiou of her position. It will be remember ed that her mother's letters to her were inter cepted and published Before die even saw them. She gained corseut nt las'to recruit her health by a vi2it to Kentucky, and hi a lew days saw herself advertised as having left ilie bed and board of Mr. Lawrence. The Legislature ol Kentucky Grunted her a divorce from such un worthy bonds and she became Ihe wile of Dr. Hunt. There was a story—but we can hardly credit it—of Mrs. Hunt's being in London alter her second marriage; and Mr. Dig clow Lawrence, hearing in society of the charming American lady, whose extraordinary beauty was bewitch ing everybody. It was said that lie sought an introduction to this enchantress—whom he cl id not recognize by her new name-- and was dumb founded when he was taken into the presence of his injured wife. But we are pretty certain that Mrs. Hunt never visited Europe after she went with the Embassador’s party. Tlie following is au extract from an army officer's letter: “ * * •* It was at au evening party iu Louisville, shortly after the opening of the War, but before there had been any conflict of arms in Kentucky, that 1 mat for the liist time Mrs. Hunt, formerly Miss Bailie Ward, a lady of whom I had long heard, and knew to have given reason for much ot the high reputation enjoyed by Kentucky for feinajo beauty and elegance. I was presented to Iiajrf and enjoyed for an hour the charm of Iter conversation. Blie was, as I judged, a lady of about thirty, and very beauti ful, though not of tiie sylph-hke figure which I had ever associated with my idea ofYher, and which had distinguished her as a voting iady Now, as a wife and mother, the style of her beauty was a model ot what it should be for a young matron; and so charming did she appear, that it was hard to imagine that she could ever have been more attractive, even when invested with the attributes of youth, and was formed in the delicate proportions .ot maidenhood. In truth, it was easy to believe the praises that fell lrom every tongue of those who had known her from childhood, that for each epoch of life the style of her beauty was the appropriate moclc-1. “It is unneccesaary to describe her physic al traits, or even to remark on her evident amiabi lity. What I noted chiefly was the lullness of soul that pervaded her vhofe person: It not •nly beamed from her eyes, bm was revealed iu every lineament, aud appeared iu every move ment. Tlie expression of intellectuality, of re finement and of the virtues, not only lighted up her lovely countenance, but war visibly embodi ed in her whole form, and gracefulI}’ controlled its action. Indeed, shy was, die ideal ot spiri tual loveliness made real.

Tlie matter of politics was at that time adclicateone in Kentucky: and to touch on it with any com monplace person might have brought un pleasant results. But she did not avoid it, and managed it gracefully and as sensibly as she did every other subject that was introduced. She did not speak as a par tisan ; but with admirable good seuse as a patriot, while mainuming the delicacy of a wo man and a wile, as she spoke of those among whom a husband and her nearest friends were arrayed. When a short time alter holding this, conversation, I referred to it amongst friends, I described her as speaking ‘ with all the sense ot a man and all the delicacy of a woman,’ and I see no reason why that observation may not still be applicable. “ The acquaintance began at the time 1 have named has ripened into intimacy, and eveiy good impression I then received has been con firmed and deepened.

As wife, daughter, and sister, she holds undiminish ed tlie fullness of love tliat belongs to each re lation. As a friend, her eminent virtues, kiDd heart, and cheerful deportment, as well as her beauty and refinement, attach to tier indissolubly all whom she honors with her friendship—and even as a simple acquaintance tier benevolent spirit finds exercise in diffusing delight by ma king all who come under its influence pleased with themselves or in sume other w’ay making them happy and winning their attachment ” l*»w» and oilier Items.

The women of the South sent forth their sons, directing them to re turn with victory, to return with wounds disa bling them from further service, or never to re turn at all. AU they had was flung into tlie con flict—beauty, grace, passion, refinement, the ex quisite frivolities so dear to the sex, were cnat aside; their songs, if they had any heart to sing, were patriotic; their trinkets were flung into the public crucible; the carpets from their floors were portioned out as blankets to the suffering soldiers of their country. Women bred to everv refinement .of luxury wore homespun made by their own hands. As nurses of the sick, as an gels of iiharity, as patient and beautiful houst- hold deities, accepting any sacrifice with uncoil corn, and lightening the burden of war by their art and blandishment, and labor proper to their sphere, the dear women of the South deserve to take rank with the highest heroes ol the grand est. days of the greatest countries.” The Albany Argus says: Mrs. Lincoln vul gar!

Stopping on the way to call on a friend, 9he laid her prayei book on the table.— when the bells began to chime, she snatched wliat she supposed to be her prayer book and started for church. Her seat was at the chancel end of the gallery. The organ ceased playing. The minister 3aid : “The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him ” In the effort to open her supposed prayer book, she started the spring of the music box, which she had taken instead. It began to play—in her consternation she put it on the floor—It would not stop—she pnt it on the seat : it sounded louder than ever. Finally she carried it out, while it played the “Washing Day,” an Irish jig tune. Green-room gossip at New York says that Edwin Forrest is soon to marry the young act ress Miss Lillie, as the play bills style ber, who has been supporting him at the Broadway. She is twenty, and the eminent tragidian over sixty. She was left an orphan, and Forrest took her as an infant and reared her. He adopted her at firs! as his daughter, bnt his and her affections changing in character, he is to make her liis wife. Mrs. Lincoln’s brothers, as is known, were in the Confederate army. The youngest of them started in April, 1861, from New Orleans, as a private in the Chasseurs a Pled, and, being dis charged for sickness at Richmond, in October oi the same year returned to his home; but, though still suffering in health, he left a wife and two babies to join the Crescent regiment, iu response to Beauregard’s call, and fell at Shiloh. Another, Captain Dave Todd, started with Colonel Tom Taylor, of the First Kentucky Volunteers, and was also killed towards the end of the war. And the third Dr. Todd, served throughout as a dis tinguished surgeon.
