THK HON. JOSHUA HILL SPEAKS |
A PIECE. U *
From the Macon Telegraph, which hud the
honor of a special «port, we dip the an
nexed speech, delivered at Milledgeville, on
the 29th inat., before the Conscript Fathers
of Georgia/ by the lion. Joshua Hill. We
.know not which to admire the more, Mr.
Hill’s earnestness or aspiratioq. We cannot
decry pluck, even when it comes from an in
dividual who e utterances wonld make you
hate every prindpk of your life and every
dead hero from GettjFfmr? to Mansfield; but,
while d :, .e credit is given to the pluck exhib
ited, we m arvel at th j mm who oomes before
this people with snob wretched appeals to
their hopes or fears, and su«h hankerings for
dßc°, waiting from such piteous supplica
te n . Mr. Hill’S confidences are as pathetic
as those of Lamartine, but they move us in a
difif rent way. His influence may be as ptiia
an't as he hints at, but we would rather see
Georgia ft territory forever than an imnudi
ate State at his price. We do not holier 0
that President Johnson would respect us (or
such sham ful surrender as he depicts, and
we know that the most ultra Radicals, how
ever they may applaud it for political pur
pose®, secretly always, and occasionally with
openness, despise and laugh at it.. Men wou ti
be beneath contempt if they could shift their
honor like a skittish weathercock in every
wind ofpo’iey. Mr. Hill would fain com-
pare himself to Governor Perry , of South
Oarolira. Ye gods! had he Bhown liimwll
half the Southerner that the noble Perry is,
he would not have been obliged to weep for
tl>« Legislature, acd wipe his eyos on the
public press. Rosily anrl truly, Mr. Hill,
we are desperately afraid that even your
staunch loyalty could not coax this pretty
fly of Georgia, into Ttmd. Stevens’ spider
web. Wo are content to Iry the issue with
St-phena and Johnson; if they do not tite
red Ihey will have accomplished as much ><*
uny others; if they do succeed, Georgia will
shine among the constellated States, with
a'urs reflecting her peculiar radiance. Better
on a glorious hour c-f hopor, than a world
withe ut a name.
To the member- of Assembly Mr. Hi'l
spoke thus:
It it< to yon that T propose in the remarks
that T pm about to make, .0 uddreas oivrelf

T>ronchf*. It would bo c-streme arrogance iu me.
Whatever foih ue of character I may possess,
whatever degree ©f vayity, I believe all will
acquit me nt least of a dreira to obtrude uiv

on the attention of others
Ji Is well known that I aspire to be a United
States Senator 'This has not only heen known
to ’he people of Georgia, but by moans of the
press to the people of the whole country. I
was more than forty yoprs of ngo before I con
sented to enter the nrena of, active political life.
Up to that day nothing could persuade mo to
embark upon such a sea. I had resisted the
importunities of friend ? successfully. An ro
caaioneame under high party excitement whore
from po agency of mine, but with luv own
disapproval, I was unanimously nominated by
a party oonveniion for a seat in Congieaa. 1
resisted for a considerable time the persuasions
of filends, but at lust yielded and have lived to
repent (bat I bad opt, adhered to my original
purpose. I was elected and took iny seat. It
was iu those days of excitement, of bittern ss
end vituperation, when the sections arrayed
ufriiinw each other were sought to pa to the

I will not fatigue you with a recital of the
details of my political life. Ageinst all too re
ason *-t rat-c©s I could utter, contrary io all the
that l cnild interpose, lira people if
Georgia, perhaps 1 should say, the leaders of
the people, madly rushed the Stale Into the
vertex of revolution. 1 was in my seat at
■Wanhinvor. I have b&cu blamed for contin
uing in it. T have never taken paius to speak
of the injustice done me in supposing that I
would pocket a oent more of the public money
than did my associates. I now sty that l dis
dained to do it I remember that one of tl e
papers of this Stale stigmatised »pe for the re
apoct übown me- hy an overwhelming majority
of tho lIou»o including tho Speaker arid i's
prominent members, who mot tno with much
feeling upon my retirement from the hall. They
tendered me the floor for a week if I desired'it.
to expose v.h it hod been dono iu Georgia. I
declined the profTViedhonor. True I remained
at Wach’cgtca, but not as a member Cod

msb.milled my own fpiaitna irrespective "f the
cisKinrs of iecideia aufl multitudes, tnd never
sought, dining the frightful contest that en
sued, to be heard in any assembly of men.
From th" dev I left Oon crocs until I entered
this hall for ihe purpose of leetoring ibe aroient
relations lietweeu the State mid the gover.>
snout, I took no part In suy public uiaoijr g;
and, had tf.o ulrife continued yea's longer, i’
was my fixed determination to abstain from par
ticipfrtlon and discussion.
For this, end for my uniform and sincere
conduct on all occasions, I obtained a lodgment
jn the national heart; end men of nntioual fee’.
»ng burs refused to forget me. It is from uo
feeling of vanity 'bat, I declare it 1* a source of
firoud consolution'to me that this feeiing is so
widely entertained and so forcibly expreseed by
•the masses of the loyal man throughout the
Union. -
I conld recount innumerable instances of
confidence aud regard ahown me, in kindliest \
■ec.liotited for others, by the government and Itv j
■officers and agents, both civil ami military. For 1
these things I have obtained neither fee nor ex
peeled reward. I could not charge money from
way one for my ifluence with the government,
especially when aacompagied with my pledge
for iho sincerity nnd fidelity of r.n applicant for ,
»ta tavora, For this would ba to eell that which
4s above prioe.
Upon she overthrow of tho Confed racy,
wheu its civil officers '.cere fleeing ns wretched
fugitive*, and when its war worn, bare oot.
dispirited soldiery were seeking their once hap
py hemes, it occurred to rae thrt T, in tha'
nsde tiour of adversity, might, in behalf of the
citizens of Georgia, appeal to the President for
clemency. I was approachei by letters from
gentlemen of thn highest position, who impor
tuned me to lorg't the unpleasa&t past, and,
Tnagnauimousiy forgiving those who had re
viled me, to repair to Washington on this rais
sdon of mercy. Surrounded with 'he wreck ot
a shattered fortune and a distressed household,
i accepted the trust. Hera let nse apt fail to
selnrn my grateful thanks to those who, for
the sake of the people, contributed to defray
*ny expenses. 1 exerted—with whatevor of
ouc-cees I must leave others to judge—mj'
power j to obtain an amelioradon of the poliev
■tii the government towards this people. I re
presented them as contrite, heart—broken, and
ready to erob'eoa the requirements of the gov
«'merit. If, in ray anxiety to beniflt ibein, 1
overstepped the bounds of propriety, you at
Last. will not censure mo. Subsequent events
may, 1 fear, have eoovincsd the government
that I was too sanguine, and that, in their
heart, the great mass Were not so kindly affect
ed to the Union as 1 sought to make it ap
pear. While thus engaged, I contributed to
♦he enlargement of officers in prison, and ob
infned pardon for some who had offended the
laws. In that day it did not occur to me that
I was despised for the influence I was thus en
qfcled to exercise. A brave, genersus roan,
and former friend and acquaintance of mine,
was placed in command of the department ot
Georgia. To him I applied—how often I cau
- not undertake to say—for ac s of kindness of
•very variety and character to poor, distressed
men and helpless families. I never applied in
vain, ilia heart, m tender as it is brave, al
ways melted at appeals to Ida humanity. 1 was
eireful not to claim at his hands what I thought
was unjust, and thus abuse the coufideuce be
■. reposed in rue. This influence was not limited
to him aloi'9, but extended to all bis com
manding officers, and to the officers of the gov
♦tjnpent generally. Here jet me enquire
• c -

What it w»s that gave mo this power to Ho;
go-’rti' ■ I answer, ucth’ng but ‘,Vie conviction
on'the rnitide or Hit, that f I’M been t rSe to the
government throughout the (rightful scene of
conflict.
Tou will ail bear me witness that I have do!
importuned you for your votes —for that, if
nothing else, you shall give me credit. In de
termining a choice for Senators, I nave a right
to insist that you do no hurt to the State, by
electing a man, who from any cause cannot
serve you if elected. I have no right to urge
upon you, nor will I, my abilities to represent
the State, but I may, and should present my
availability. If any of you imagine that it is a
matter of trifling importance, what poaiiiotf
civil or military, an individual haa occupied in
the defunct government of the Confederacy,
let me tell you, that yon labor under a pro
found mistake; whoever regards lightly the test
oath, anid believes h Immaterial whether one
can take it or not, fs lib >ring under a delu:-ion.
The admission of members into the present
Congress Will depend mainly upon the ability
of the members to take the oath required of
him—conscienciously. The history of each'
member will be inquired into; a rigid scrutiny
will be observed as to his antecedents. And
no matter what may be the personal
a maD, his political career and character alone
will be consulted. This stero rule may Irritate
and wound your pride, but it should not, i'
indeed you are the loyal men you profoss to
be. If you feally feel a.reluctance to elect a
man who can take this oath, then is it became
you disapprove bisjoyalty, and if sustaini-d in
this sentiment by your constituents, then you
are not entitled to represeatplion in the coun
dls of the nation, If it b 9 matter of reproach
to be able to tako this severe oa h, then do
nounco me, for loan take it. I ano sorry t-»
■ay that I know so few who are in my situ..-
Hon. Do you not wish that all could ink * it?
The State of South Carolina has se'ected so-
il Senator ft mm disttfguishc-d for his love es
the since the day 3 of nullification, an 1
another not identified with the revolution. D' j
South Carolina can act so wisely, how much
is to be expecka of Georgia?
You all process to lov the President and to i
sustain his policy. If I mhy be allowed to com j
pare lare tilings to small, let me. inquire how it (
Is that you can forgive Andrew Johnson tor j
making war npon the Confederacy, and exert
ing himself to crust it, and yet complain ot me
for my peaceful opposition to your revolution ?
Bis children fought you while mine fought for
you. Are you quite certain that your love for ;
the President is heartfelt and sincere ?
If you would give evidence of yc-nr attach
ment, consult his wishes. The President is a
man of wisdom, and readily distinguishes be
tween mere lip si rvice and genuine devotion
You will r.ot be able to deceive him.
Rumor bath it that I am to be defeated, eft'.',
crushed, annihilated by someanie u handsome
intangible adversary. If it te your purpose to
bring me into contempt, you had better rtso't
to blacks. But let me teli you, gentlemen, you
cannot drive me from my purpose—you cannot
weaken my couvictieus of what is due to roy
character, my self-res pet, and.Jabnve all, my
devo'ion to the government l love. lam pre
pared for the sacrifice—let the ■suspended sword
fall. Thank heaven, Inn Inured to greater
avps than j our displeaiqre l hav". suffered
much for nay opinions I can endure more.
Understand me,.l do not coropl-in, and 1
will not complain ; for i shall b»ve no right to
do so if Id the election you should prefer to me
some other cU'zm of similar sentiments, o
rtf count of superior mural worth or talent—'mi:
wheu. forgetting the belpVst condition of oiu
people, dependent upon the favor of lU? S°'" J

It fs generally understood that you .will make
choice of a distinguished gentleman prominent
for his public services and hla acknowiedgi-d
talents, and, regardless of bis earnost remon
strances as set forth In the letter I will read
you force upon him, objecting and reluotant as
he tflay be —ibis high trust. If yop are realiy !
his friends, you will better serve him by fore !
going tho use of his name, I caro .vnoi,if amm ■
be considered aa pure ae on angel, under such
circumstances l e cannot escape a suspicion of
encouraging the act. My attitude may bias
my judgment, but I will stake my reputatiu
that evil comes of the deed. But the flat has
gone forth, and it 1h irreroeab'e.
Some profess to believe that there Is Util.' |
difference as to the status of men, and that nil j
wll be regarded alike. "Is It nothing that-j
such as I, condemning the revolution, and ab
staining from its commencement -to its c’oro, |
front particip.'ving jo any public meeting, 'roj#i
ousting a vote for any officer of the prevented j
new government,and from any act voluntarily at i
war with obligations to my country—is there, I
in your Judgment, no difference between such a •
man and one who took offlca.und‘jr an orpani- j
zaliort hostile and at war with tho povernmcct i
to which his allegiance was due ? If you do-i

and declare to you that I never looked upon

of our national airs, without feeling my oheeks

* ' tits view’s on - KKCON’srnucrrov. _
err;
Qp Friday night last, a largo number of the j
citizens of lowa repaired to the rceidenG* 6f
Secretary Harlan, in Washington, and compli
mented him with a serenade. In hia response,
Mr. Harlan expressed his views on the ques
tion of the re-admission of the Southern States
into the Union, which, coming as they do,
irom the lips'of a member of the Cabinet, a
Senator elect, and a prominent representative ,
of the Republican party, may not be consider- 1
ed unimportant:
You Will scarcely expe3t of pie on this occa
sion to address you on the general subject of
national affairs, but there is one great question
to which 1 will briefly allude, now agitating
he public mind and moving the public heart,
and that is the .terms cn which our brothers
who reside in the district* recently in rebellion
shall be permitted to affiliate with their broth
era of the other States.
The rebellion has been sabatantially crushed,
and the fact is admitted by ail; aud the terms
on which theyshall be admitted to full fellow
ship with the representatives of the other
States of the Union is the only great question
which occupies the mind of the American peo
pie. _
To some States is attended with
difficulty, in cot s-quence of the great incon
gruity of the population, one-half of them
having been In bondage and abject slavery ;
while some doubt the _prg?lbl;tty of their as
earning and wisely discharging the duties o'
American citizens I apprehend hat none will
doubt that they must forever remain free
[Applause ] There are n >no who suppose they
can be shifted from this country to other climes.
If tlii- four millions must forever be free, and
they and their posterity remain in this country,
j f suppose no wise slat .-man thinks that, for a
1 long time, they can be deprived of citizenship
j The time at which they should beadmit'ed is-•
j question to be decided by the S nators and
I Representatives of the .United States.
A parttal reorganization of the States, ha
taken place. The leaders in the rebellion hav
given up the struggle as worse than futile, and
they cannot hope in the future to sever the
UnioD, and must, therefore, remaln in it, and,
as citizens, render obedience to the laws ___
We had no right to expect they would «t
ones acquiesce and admit tboße who wire once
slaves to equal rights of citizenship. But the
safely of the Republic Is more important.
Many of our Wisest financiers douot very
much whether it wonld be safe to admit them
in their present ar.ndition, with nearly one
half the popul iliod excluded from citizenship,
j and that half the most loyal part of the pop -
i lalion. They fear that under the pres nt or
1 with the local governments in tho
1 hands of those who have recently been In re
! be'.lion, the Union men will be in a very lriS.n
| minority, and think it no more than right
! rhnt those who recently had their hands rt.i i
; with the blood of Lite loyal people of the coun- J
! try should Dot fully ra nag© the lock! affairs
; of those States.
Some dou'nt whether tho liberated race have,
sufficient knowledge to parlicipa'e in all tb
! rights of American citizens; but, Cor myself, I
chive never fl'Ssf.iiscd it that ft ijf much s«f-r
i to trust an icnorent loyal man than a. wire
] rebel, f Applause 1 I would prefer to seema
! the loyal minority by uniting litem with those
j who have hereto fora been In bondage, but are
now fre-, in order to secure, if not a majority, a
-i.nnj ixiiioritj" at leastj to exact just terms of
reorganization
I need hardly ray that during tho brief pe
riod I may remain In inr preset position, !

Butler’s “Fields of Valob."—A ccrrc-s- i
pendent of the New York World in reviewing ]
Bu'ler’s speech before tho Soldiers' Union j
League Convention, in Wasbfngicu, thus euros .
up the redoubtable warrior’s "field of valor’’: j
But when Doc or Butler revives in his rcc >K j
lections, as he did last, night, “fields of valor”;
—as if he were one of "ns,” meaning the eol- '
diets, or in the “field,” instead of the pLte J
closet, par,try, or clothes press—to what field ]
ar.d what valor does the dousrhty Doctor re- j
for? History records hut two fields (other than .
cotton field?) in which hie valor was particular'
ly manifest—oncp, in tho small field adjoinlnc
bis homestead In Lowell, when the vahaci ,
veferan bricklayer soundly pummelled and
booted Butler on his own prem-sos: and again. :
in the political field of the Charleston Conver,* \
lion when his v»!or whs severely tested—and
hi this wise : In that convention, although the
Doctor voted an almost uncounted number of
timeß for Jeff. Davis as his candidate for the ;
Pre&iiitncr, he neverttisleßs took occasion to
sneer at. the claims of tho South in general, and ;
of the Stale of Texas in particular, for places j
on the Democratic ticket. Indeed, his remarks
about, Texts were so bitter and abusive that i
wl en be sat down, Governor Lubbock, of that
State, walked over and told Butler that if he
opened his head jnt hat strain again he would
cutoff both of Butler’s ears ar.d xiail them to
the door : Those who sat near the valorous
Doctor and heard the threat, noticed Ms sud
den nnd wonderful whiteness. If a mrasenger
had brought in the card of the bricklayer, he
wouldn’t have felt fainter, and the subsequent. I
silence of the Doctor in that convention was I
sb remarkable as it was grateful.

t *The name of Patrick Lieutenant
vrcuoini in luv-uvinMUf nw nrm j, on* WIUCt 1
should not be forgotten In tbe'military annals
■ of onr race. He fought, in ” a good causo ard
in gallant eornoany." -He was the hero of over
thirty pitched battles, e,nd the number of minor
actions in which lie parlicipat d is bey.,ml
precedent. _ He was distinguished for decision
and intrepidity, and almost eviry movement
j committed to bis division was successful. He
received the incessant congratulations of the
Southern press, and was several times compli
inented by 'he Confederate Congress. After
the death of Jackson, begot the soubriquet of
‘•The Stonewall of the South," for he was to
the Army of the Tennessee what Jackson tvaa
to that of Virginia ; but, most of all he wr3
tender Rtid generrus to the vanquish'd, and ns
Ferguraon says, ‘ Kindly Irish of the Irish ”
He lies in a lonely grave in the villßge of Co
lumbifl, Tennessee, whither he was borne after
the battle of Franklin by one of his officers. I
know I have net done Justice to his memory,
but history will net consign his name to obliv
ion. Biding h--r consideration, let the forei
going be a leaflet to his memory.
Unknown.— The following, which we take
from the Jackson (Miss.) Standard, of the 18th,
deserves a place in the standard books for read
l’g for the young—ayo, and for the middle
aged and the old:
In the Vicksburg Herald, of the llth instant,
we find the following couplet, said to be an in
soription over the grave of a Confederate soldier,
ia the Alexandria cemetery;
“Unknown" —l3 all the epitaph can tell,
If Jesus knew thee, all is well.
Those touching and simple lines are eugges
five of many sorrowful reflections. They bring
up from the mighty past, thronging memories
of the thousands at noble and ardent soldiers of I
the South, who went forth with flashing eyes :
and springing steps in defense of tbeir native
land, but who never more will return to elnd
don the hearts of their kindred. Some of them
sealed their devotion to lib rtv with the blood
of their young and gallant hearts Others, toil
ing through the scorching ravs of summer, and
shivering In the cold blasts of winter, without!
rood or adequate clothing, yielded to privation, j
and disease, and Anally perished on the terrible '
march, in a land ot strangers, with no gentle I
band to alleviate the agonies of death. Others
taken captives on the red field of battle, were !
irnmnred in Northern dungeons, and, like cieed
eagles, drooped and died.
All over this broad Southern land ara hu i- !
dreds and thousands of little mounds of earth i
beneath whieb moulder the remains of our oil
laut defenders, with no stone or monument to
designate tne pale sleepers. Wo know they are
“soldiers’ praveeJV-we know nothing more
Many cf the nameless dead were volunteers
from other States; and in many cases the very
mothers who nttreod them in infancy are igno-'
rant of their fate. Perchanoe, even yet, at •
many distant homesteads; motherland fathers I
and sisters, sustained by illusive hope, peer i
through the gloom of twilight, trusting that '
they may hear returning footsteps, destined |
nevermore to be heard in the walks of men. '
The little hillocks which mark the resting place j
of the “unknown” solQiers of liberty will soon !
be levelled and obliterated. Over tbeir remains '
the billing multitude will tread. The memo |
ry of themselves and their deeds of valor, and j
their terrihle sufljering and sacrifices, will fade
from AH minds, aid oblivion will add tbeir j
names to tbose-of the innumerable multitude cf '
Adam's sons who have thus perished and been l

The partition of lands owned ami held in com

defining of the boundaries of the property I
belonging to each. Partition deeds of lands !
held in common are therefore not subject to

for equality of partition, thy transaction is a
conveyance tp that extent, and should be 1
stamped accordingly. "D" receives two tbous-1

not. But such h thing is not, impossible.—
