[Gen. Pope’s Order, June 3d.
“ Freedom of speech and of the press, educa

rights and privileges, are the essentials of any
satisfactory reconstruction in the South."
[Gen. Pope’s Letter to Gen. Grant.
“NATIONAL MONUMENTS.”
The disgraceful scenes attendant upon
the dedication of Antietam Cemetery have
Jbrought a blush of confusion to the most
lymphatic oracles of Northern, opinion.—
Even that canny Scot, James Gordon
Bennett, who delights in misery as some
midnight hag delights in hell-broths, be
neath the glimpses of the yellow moon—
even Bennett is seized with consternation
and reddens to the very roots of his hair at
this legitimate result of an unholy and
diabolical war. He says:
“ How long are we to bow our heads in
shame whenever a national event like Antietam
calls for the broad minds of real statesmen to
give it a tone of which we may be proud ? How
long are we to entertain the representatives ol
foreign Powers with sights like that which have
made Antietam a disgrace, and which have re
flected that disgrace throughout the world as a
reproach against the republicanism of which
we boast? We must have a change. Sucn
scenes as Antietam has given us are the best
proof that nothing but change will save us.—
Our march to corruption and all the vileness
of representation that clings around it, has
been In keeping with the pace we have trave’.
ed in all that of which we boast. The career is
a mad one and threatens r"in. Let it not be
forgotten that the Roman empire was born
when the Roman republic lost all respect for
the intelligence aud virtue of its rulers. Find
ing that they have not the capacity to project
and carry to a successful issue great measures
of statesmanship, they descend to a war for the
spoils ; they mingle personal and revolutionary
animosities in every act; they even in a na
tional graveyard quarrel over the corpses of
the men who fell in defense of the country.”
The Federal soldiers who sleep at Antie
tam should be honored by their people and
respected by their enemies even, for bra
vely ceases to be partisan when death lias
set its seal upon the brow and heart. That
they should be gathered together and ten
derly deposited in mother earth ; that they
should have the decent rights of sepulture,
reposing beneath the greenest verdure and
gentlest flowers; that the ground they
fought and fell upon should be sacred—no
Christian man will deny these things to the
people of the North Had their departed
troops. But while conceding thus much, it
can never be forgotten by the Southern peo
ple that many of these soldiers were hire
lings; that they dealt murder without one
scintilla of principle or patriotism ; that
those who fought for the restoration of the
Constitution aud the Union were deceived ;
that the Ikjucs of Southern heroes have
been turned up by the ploughshare or permit
ted shallow graves only to be marked with
derisive epitaphs. Remembering such things,
wedeem it but appropriate justice to hypoc
risy and revenge, that the North should
be bowed with ignominy over the tombs of
those who perished vainly aud worse tliau
vainly. This mortification would have
been incomplete had it been merely a domes
tic quarrel ; but the degradation of a false
republicanism assumes perfect shape when
the representatives of European monarchies
stand grimly by, amused ami instructed
witnesses of a dramatic scandal.
Had the North been magnanimous at the
close of the war; had she recognized the
fratricidal nature of the closed combat as
one worthy of all possible oblivion ; had
she tendeml the hand of mercy' to this
bleeding aud heart-broken people; had she
helped gather up the Confederate dead; had
she shown common honesty with regard to
the objects of invasion ; had she manifested
even the semi-civilized instincts of a brutal
pugilist—grand and glorious would be the
destiny of this country, and proud and last
ing the triumph of Reconciliation. The
hideous satire of Antietam would have
been, under such circumstances, impossible;
while Justice ami Mercy pontooued the
yawning chasm of blood aud tears.
But very differently did the North de
termine. She proved remorseless, tricky
and vindictive. She moved heaven, earth
and hell to perpetuate the memory of
wrath. She smote the prostrate body of
the South and dragged it contumeliously at
her chariot wheels. She branded those
■who died for their homes and altars as
dogs and reprobates. She committed the
unparalleled crime of degrading a superior
race. She banished hope and love from the
habitations of man. She wrote fool on the
tombstones of her soldiery who died for
Republican liberty.
Under such inspirations, it is not wonderful
that the North should be dishonored even
in the charnel house, for “ men go back
ward in the career of ambition when re
venging a past offense upon a foe that is no
longer formidable.”
And monuments are to be erected at
Gettysburg and Antietam—to commemo
rate what ? That on those hill tops the
grey line of the Confederacy was thrust
back by the defenders of the Constitution
and the Union. Where is the Constitution ?
Where is the Union ? If Radicalism have
away, the inscription ou these monoliths
will be a lie. If it cease to exist, and Con
servatism erect itseif upon the ruins of
anarchy, what need of such memorials
which everlastingly engender bitterness and
preserve the recollection of a frenzied epoch
which should, if the bond of Union is worth
a fluthlng, be kept, like all skeletons, in a
dark recess. The South is ostracized be
cause she is just; but, some day, the North
will need her and her return will resemble
that of Aristides. When that day shall
have dawned, Antietam monuments will
not be illustrated in the picture ; for “ the
triumph of liberty and reparation of wrong
must have a common date.” If we are
really brethren, much should be mutually
conceded to bring about a permanent fra
ternity. If concessions are all one side and
treacherous demands on the other; if the
presence of unhappy altercations are never
to be buried —what folly to talk of restora
tion and affection ? In such au event, the
true people of the South can afford to
wait—wait—wait. The past two years have
brought us many consolations; the Future
will bring us more and more, if we be only
flsithfbl to one another. The rancorous
hate displayed at Antietam is but the be
ginning of the end: the end will witness all
marble mementoes of our agouy either
razed to the ground or their stony mimic
ries transformed from images of Ven
geance to the milder lineaments of Peace.
We are forever boasting of a superior
civilization to ancient commonwealths and
modern autocracies beyond the seas. But
is not our boast an empty one; are wo not
very far behiud even those who dwelt in
the age of fable, or those who dwell iu the
age of rationalism ? Very different from the
■conduct of the North was the conduct of
the dynasties of old days. They had their
domestic feuds, but they rarely forgot that
they were brethren. When Piso fell in a
civil war, the Roman Emperor was urged
to build a monument to Nemesis as com
memorative of his death. His reply was that
of a truly heroic spirit: “ Private memories
imd hatreds should be forgotten; public monu
ments should only commemorate foreign con
quest—never domestic calamities."
When the Thebans overthrew the Lacede
monians, a trophy of brass was erected in
honor of the triumph! It was complained
to the Amphyctyons that by that trophy
the memory of their discord was made
eternal. Back came the glorious answer
that shall live forever: “ let it be abolished,
for it is not fitting that any record should re
main of discord between Greek and Greek."
The spirit of Heathendom rebukes the
false progress of the North; and columns
reared to the Furies by our beloved breth
ren only demonstrate the intensity of that
hatred which perverted Christianity sinks
below the standard of Pagan ire.
In the Dumps. —Lord Brougham and
Earl Russell are disgusted with republi
canism as exemplified by the United States.
The former has recently apologized for the
Confederates, and the latter declined to at
tend a Reform Banquet.
Whereat, llorce Greeley is horribly cut
up and looks for an explanation “in some
natural defect ot character, developed by
circumstances.”
•■ Developed by circumstances ” is good.
If the Radical development of circum
stances is not enough to bend a Brougham
or a Russell, nothing could ever hope to
accomplish so benevolent a feat.
Greeley, however, has his consolation.
Brougham and Russell have deserted; but
Longstreet, Jeff Thompson and a good
many Judges have gone over to him bag
and baggage. There’s richness for you!
Misplaced Confidence When Senator
Morgan was pressing Callicott’s claims ou the
President last spring for the collectorship, he
pulled out his pocketbook in his enthusiasm,
(and laying it on the President’s table, with
malice aforethought, made this refreshing dec
laration : “ Mr. President ” (pointiug to the
well-filled portmouaie,) “ Mr. Callicott is one
of the lew men 1 would trust with my pocket
book.” This is the simple truth. It carried
conviction, for Callicott was appointed.
[World.
Yes, and he has been discharged for swind
ling. Senator Morgan associates with
queei company, or his pocket book is as
trashy as his politics and not worth steal
ing.
Under Fire. —Mr. Wade has spoken of
liis friend Butler as a “ penitentiary con
vict,” because he urged taxation of bonds.
Greeley is equally rude, Hear him :
He (Butler) means to say to the National
creditors—“ Here is a new bond, whereof the
interest Is payable in greenbacks : take this in
exchange lor your gold-bearing bond, take its
face in greenbacks, or take nothing.” Aud
that is, iu our view, repudiation, which is a
longer synonym for Rascality.

On the same principle, the sudden disap

Not a War Democrat.—The Governor

inquires :
By reference to an electioneering card pub
lished in another column, and taken from a late
number of the Atlanta Intelligencer, it will be
eeeu that Gen. Pope, iu the person of E. Hul
bert, his Chief Register, has found a willing
and pliant tool to palm off unadulterated Radi
calism upon the people of Georgia, under the
guise of relief and reconstruction.
We should be pleased to know, and doubtless
the country would be edified by the informa
tion, whether this E. Hulbert was c ne of those
employees of the Southern Express Company
during the war from whom Gen. RosecraDs
stated that he received better infor
mation of the plans, purposes, forces and ma
teria! resources of the Confederacy than from
all other sources combined. Will any one of
the scullions of Pope’s kitchen enlighten U 6 ?
What! ho! within there, Sammy and Billy!
How about this E. Hulbert?
Abolition of Bunday Labor.—There was
a very lull attendance of the printers, says the
Charleston Mercury , on Saturday night, at the
meeting at Hope engine house, called to con
sider the question of the abolishment of Sun
day labor. The subject was thoroughly* dis
cussed, in all its bearings, for over au hour,
and finally a resolution was passed by a large
majority authorizing the appointment of a com
mittee of seven to wait on the proprietors of
the three daily papers of that city, with the
view of obtaining the abolishment of Sunday
labor. A few of the printers seemed indifferent
on the subject, and 60tne openly expressed the
opinion that they would rather work on Sun
day than on Saturday, but the great majority
seemed deeply interested in the object of the
meeting, and they will doubtless carry with
them the sympathy of our religious communi

The New York Tribune says : “Albert Pike,
unreconstructed rebel, invents the story that a
great mauy car loads of negroes have been sent
from Tennessee and other States into Ohio, to

Our New York Correspondence.
New York, September 20.
Our own political affairs, in spite of au
effort to maintain some. excitement, have
relapsed into a torpid state, and promise to
continue so for two months to come. At
tention is once more directed to foreign af
fairs; and various facts, well known in
business circles, but not as yet noticed con
spicuously by the press, are exerting an in
fluence aud producing resiilts that many do
not understand. —■■■«■»..! ■■ ■
The French and Germans seldom buy
breadstuff's in foreign markets; they geu
erally have some surplus to sell; their crops
have not been first rate this year; but un
ler ordinary circumstances they would not
suffer from any deficit. England is suffer
ing from scarcity, and prices in her markets
are very high; while from various causes
prices continue high in the markets of the
United States. But in the face of these
facts, Louis Napoleon is buying wheat and
flour and Bismark is buying rye iu this
market, at prices that will cost, laid down
in their warehouses, double the average of
their markets. Now France has not bought
flour of us since the Crimean war; last
year she sent us flour from a smaller crop
than that which she has just gathered;
while sending rye to Germany is almost like
sending “ coals to Newcastle.” These facts
are, as I have said, well understood in busi
ness circles; and are the basis of the rise
in gold since Tuesday, and of the advance
and activity in breadstuff’s iu the face of
most liberal supplies. They are regarded
as indicating, with certainty, a war in
Europe next year; and all Louis Napoleon’s
peaceful assurances have no weight against
them.
The last mail from Europe brings many
reports to justify the belligerent anticipa
tions that are entertained. A letter from
Paris says: “No business at the Bourse,
but plenty of Chassepot rifles in store.—
Throughout France, very little business is
doing, for confidence is gone aud credit
dead.” A letter from London notices, as a
warlike symptom, that large arrivals of
oats there, from the North of Europe, were
being trans-shipped to France; and it ap
pears that the French Government is a buy
er of wheat in other markets than this.—
From Russia, also, the report is received of
extensive warlike preparations.
It is too early, as yet, to speculate fully
upon these facts. They are important to
us iu many aspects; for if the anticipated
results follow, another year adverse to the
interests of the South is not improbable;
and iu making calculations respecting
prices and other matters, they must be ta
ken into the account.
The Federal Government, in preparation
for possibilities, has stopped selling gold,
and is increasing its reserves. This threat
ens closer money and counteracts, in a
measure, the tendency of gold and bread
stuffs to rise; while, as for securities of all
kinds, they have very few friends. The
disposition is to keep “ close-hauled,” with
a sharp lookout for squalls. In this view,
easy as money has been, it is almost impos
sible to raise money on real estate; mort
gages are at a discount of live per cent.—
Still, I am inclined to think that the dan
gers, of a financial and mercantile charac
ter, to be apprehended from a war in Eu
rope, are somewhat exaggerated, and will
lie warded off pretty generally by tiie anti
cipation and ample preparation for them.
antietam (shahfsburg.)
Ceremonies appropriate to the erection of
a monument in the Federal cemetery at
Antietam were observed on the 17th, and
long accounts thereof have beeu published.
The doggerel that was dignified with the
title of a “ poem,” recited on the occasion,
will not escape criticism; but that I leave
to others, as well as the expression of a just
judgment upon demonstrations of this
sort. I must notice, however, the disposi>
tion of the Radical press to belittle the pro
ceedings, fearing that General McClellan
may again be the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency. But my purpose iu infer
ring to the occasion is to introduce the sub
joined lines, published on the second anni
versary of the battle, aud based upon the
well authenticated fact that President Lin
coln, while riding with General McClellan,
General Porter and Marshal Lamon, over
the flclci of the battle, called upon the
Marshal to sing “ Old Dan Tucker,” re
markingto General McClellan that “La
mon could sing a nigger song better than
any other man iu America.”

increase of prize fighting.
Prize lighting, or, in the language of the
reporters, the fistic arena, has received an
enormous development during the present
summer throughout all parts of the North
ern and Western States. Saintly New
England has not escaped. This peculiarity
English institution finds its chief votaries
among the Irish ; and the great passion for
it arises not less from a iove of notoriety
than from the irrepressible pugnacity of
that race. With the organization of a paid
(ire department, firemen’s lights are no lon
ger a means of venting their bellicose in
clinations, nor of acquiring the notoriety
which they are as anxious to secure as a
sensation preacher. We have had, amid all,
tew contests between recognized pugilists—
I can not recall but two —but almost daily
unknown pugs have succeeded in making
tor themselves a temporary notoriety by
engaging in prize tights—the stake being in
most cases a beggarly sum, raised by pass
ing around the hat. The interest which is
taken in these sort of affairs is sufficient to
give stability to the circulation of a cheap
evening daily paper. The newsboys in
variably call out, “ ’Ere’s the Evening !
Five o’clock edishing! Prize light at !’
The police have made no effort to stop
these scenes, although they are clearly
against the laws of the State. Perhaps
they neglect to interfere, from the belief
that the roughs, while pummeling each
other, will not assault decent people. But
the effects of the fistic mania may be seen
in good circles. Almost imperceptibly,
people who should be ashamed ol' such con
duct have growu into the habit of
their friends with a “ rattler in the ribs,"'
or something of the sort, for my knowledge
of the “ lingo ” is very limited. Such is a
present phase of Northern society, aud it
deserves a record.
THE progress of white slavery.
The struggle of those who labor for hire,
whether bod carriers or bank clerks, to
maintain their footings—to keep them
selves in comfort and decency, under the
accumulated load which seven years of
Radical rule have heaped upon them—is
becoming painful. Year after year these
people have been obliged to content them
selves with meaner apartments, and dis
pense with many comforts that had grown
to be considered necessaries. It never cost
more to live in New York than now. When
gold was 280, the expenses of a family were
not so great, because the oppressive, never
ending Radical taxation had npt taken its
full effect, in adding to the cost of every
thing that a family consumes.
The attempts to gain relief are various.
A better regulated and more commodious
style of tenement houses is projected.
Some large manufactures are being re
moved to near the suburbs, where small
cottages may be within reach. But the es
tablishment of co-operative stores, by which
the enormous additions that are made to
the cost of food, in passing from the whole
saler to the consumer, may be avoided, are
a means of relief that is taking some promi
nence. Parties subscribing a small sum
are allowed to purchase at these stores
whatever they require at the wholesale
price, with a small addition to cover ex
penses. These stores, though strenuously
advocated, do not make much progress.—
They, in fact, propose nothing more than
the private grocery man attempts, with
none of the guarantees of success which
arise from private responsibility. We had
last winter something of the kind in the
coal line; but coal kept declining, and
could be bought at private yards for less
than the co-operative organization paid for
their coal. Hence discontent aud au ex
plosion. But wait a little, and the people
will discover tlht the most effective co-ope
ration that they can enter upon is to over
throw Radicalism and
that is eating up their substßj^

DILLON’S
s PATENT UNIVERSAL
s COTTON TIE AND IKON HOOPS.
This TIE, with the HOOP complete, weighs no
more than the usual rope used in baling cotton, and
renders an allowance for tare unnecessary. It looses
no slack while putting on, and is so perfect that the
necessity for heavy hoops, to make up for deficieucie
8 ill the TIE, is entirely obviated.
Can be sold by the pouud or ton, as cheaply as the
heavy* hoops and less perfect ties. Each and every
TIE is warranted perfect.
As an evidence of the estimation in which these-
TIES are held, wo herewith append the certificate of
tho Agent of the Central Cotton Press in this city. It
a competent judge can be found anywhere as to the
merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely be so
considered, as he presses thousands of bales of Cotton
every year, and Ties of all patents are constantly pass
ing through hiß hands.
OFFICE OF THE CENTRAL COTTON PRESS, 1
Savannas, May 27th, 1867. J
Messrs. E. W. Sims & Co.,
Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal Tie,” Savannah.
Dear Sirs : In my business of compressing Cotton,
I have had occasion to examine closely all of the vari
ous Tieß for iron bands used in baling Cotton, and
pleasure in testifying to tho superiority overall others
of the ‘* UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is as easily ad
justed and is much stronger than any other Tie.
A Tie that is not good nt the Press is not good as
the Plantation, as nearly all the Cotton is compressed
at the Ports, and a weak Tie must theu be replaced by
a good one at the expense ol the planter. I have
nevor seen one of your TIES break, though I pitched
a bale of Cotton secured by them out of a econd
story to the ground without any break to the fall.
Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recom
mend the “ UNIVERSAL TIE ” to every Pianler, as
combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled
strength.
