AUGUSTA, GrA.
WEDNESDAY MOKNING, JAN. 1, 1868
THE CHANGE OF COMMANDERS.
It is very natural that many of our people
should rejoice at the removal of General
Popk ; just as good Christians exulted at
the fall of Dagon. A man of eminent wick
edness and conspicuous vanity has been
put out of the way—his v. ind-bag has been
punctured and his authority nullilied.
Therefore, men rejoice and we find no fault
with their jubilee. At the same time, io is
quite as well to avoid the frantic in all such
displays; it is, at least, prudent to consider
the exact amount of benefit derivable irom
a change of satraps and not take for grant
ed what still remains in debate. General
Canby succeeded Gen. Sickles in bouth
Carolina; but though Gen. GanbY may not
have rendered himself odious by individual
and fresh exactions, the ruthless and arbi
trary orders of Sickles are still unrepealed
by liis successor. The acts of Gen. Sickles
were the causes of discontent; Sickles has
gone to pot, but his deeds are still unquelled.
What right, then; have we to presume that
Gen. PorE’s long career of mal-administra
tion will be ignored? The chances against
such a hope are, if anything, much greatei
than the chances in its favor. Sanguine
persons base their calculations upon the
possibility of Gen. Meade’s being a second
Hancock. Wc do not know upon what
they distinctly rely, nor is it a settled ques
tion, by any means, whether poor Pope
braggart—Bombastes Furioso—buffoon and
corrupter of truth—has not untentionally
performed more good service for the Demo
cratic party than a legion of intrepid
and honorable Hancocks. Beside, it may
be remarked that Hancock has been
but a slight breakwater against the vio
lence of the Louisiana Convention, and,
though three or four subordinate ollicials
have been replaced, a number of others
who fell under the ban of Sheridan arc as
completely ostracised by his successor, in
has given some proofs of a determination
to render justice ; but Oud was equally
promising at first, and Hancock has a cru
cial test before him when the new constitu
tion of Louisiana shall pass to the people.
Again, though it is claimed by some that
General Meade is a good Democrat and a
lover of white men; others assert, with
loud pertinacity, that lie is a devoted ad
herent of General Grant and supports him
for the Presidency. Some weeks ago, it
was vehemently declared that Meade s re
pugnance to Congress was so intense that
he threatened to resign his position in the
army, if ordered to carry out the Siiekman-
Shellabargeh scheme. His acceptance ol
Pope’s department would seem to explode
this sensation. To further prove that there
was a good deal of what is called bosh in
this miraculous conservatism ol a military
martinet, the infamous John W. Forney
has published a letter from Gen. Meade,
addressed to the said Forney, which has a
strong flavor of negrophilism. This letter
commences “My dear Mr. Forney,” and if an
individual is to be judged by the company
lie keeps and the affectionate style of epis
tolary correspondence with that company,
General Meade may not prove the deliverer
of Georgia, etc., etc., any more than John
Pope is the incarnation of truth and mod
esty. Referring to the Meade-Forney
correspondence, no less a journal than the
Philadelphia Age speaks as follows:
“ My Dear.” —There arc, as all know who
indulge in the luxury of letter writing, infinite
varieties of beginning and ending a letter.
There is the pla'n “ Sir,” formal business-like,
sometimes stern. When a Secretary ol State
addresses a foreign minister, it is “ Sir.” When
a man scuds a challenge, it is “ Sir.” If a mer
chant remits to a correspondent abroad, it is
“Sir.” If an insulting letter, within the bounds
of decorum, is written, it is “ Sir,” —and ail
such letters end or ought to end with “your
obedient servant.” Descending a step from
the Irigid region, we come to “ Respected Sir,’
which only inferiors use—and to the “ Dear
Sir,” an adjective mildly softening the stern
noun substantive. “ Dear ” don’t mean ex
cessive affection, for we have known very dis
agreeable missives come with this prefix. But
when a correspondent says, “ My Dear Sir,” lie
is thawing and docs mean something, lie then
gets into the genial region of “ sincerely
yours” and “ faithfully yours.” But when, lie
is absolutely melted and means his soul to flow
in a soft current of affection, it is “ My Dear
Mr. So and So,” and “ very truly yours.”
There is no mistaking ' the relations then.
Dear—very dear friends only write thus. These
ideas occur to our mind in reading General
Meade’s letter to Mr. Forney, “My Dear Mr.
Forney,” ostentatiously published in clay be
fore yesterday’s Press.
It is not our intention to prejudge tlic
new commander; but we are clearly of the
opinion that, while exulting over Pope's
downfall, a becoming moderation should be
preserved in praising the live satrap and
kicking the dead one. The position he is
destined to hold is not an admirable one for
a Republican, soldier. When he lias mani
fested some of the glorious virtues predicted
of him, it will be ample time to indulge in
conviviality and merriment. When lie
shall have thrust Joe Brown and his busy
bees away; eschewed all partizanship ; re
moved Flulbert and other Papal ap
pointees who make raids upon tlic ballot or
treasury boxes ; provided for a fair election
somewhat after the manner of the North
and not after the method of Congo ; when
Order No. 49 shall have been abrogated and
the jury system of Pope purged of its
iniquity; when Augustus Reese shall
have been restored to the bench, and shame
less incumbents of municipal offices dis
robed—when some, at least, of these things
have been done, it will be time to hurrah
for Gen. Meade. And that lie may have
an opportunity to show the faith and dis
position of his soul, our people should peti
tion, in due season, that their grievances
be redressed and wrongs righted. If they
should meet with a cordial reception, they
can shout to some purpose; if they
meet with a denial, all precipitate
congratulation becomes foolishness, and
though Gen. Meade may sit ever so be
nignly on the throne at Atlanta, John
Pope’s soul, like John Brown’s, will be
“marching on.” Trusting that the new
commander may be all the fancy of his
eulogists paint him, we dismiss the subject
with the hope that, be he what he may, we
can afford to bide his coming with patience
and endure the good or evil of his reign
with the composure of men who have borne
too much already to be giddy with admira
tion or abashed by calamity.
An Old Merchant in Bankruptcy. The
celebvateU Jacob Barker, ot New Orleans is
before the courts as a bankrupt. Mr. Barker
has been a millionaire in hi3 day. He is over
eighty years of age, we think, and lon»| before
the present generation looked upon ledgers and
bank books, was one of the leading commercial
powers of the country. The rebellion fin
which we believe he was only passive) brought
him to bankruptcy, but yet it would seem that
the old fire is in him, and he is trying to shake
off his load of debt to take a chance ouee more
in the lottery of trade.

THE LONDON PRESS ON THE CLERKEN WELL
OUTRAGE.
The London Times of the 14th, in an edito
rial on the Clerkenwell outrage, says: “Ihe
time is past for clemency and forbearance.—
The Fenians have filled to the full the cup ol
wrath. In dealing with them publie opinion
will need rather to be restrained than investi
gated. Ireland has suffered much at the funds
ol' her self-constituted representatives, and
never more than when she is made to appear
belore the world as the mother ot assassins.
It may be that this great crime will cure many
who have taken the infection of Fenianism.
At least let England show that whatever may
have to be done she will allow neither fear nor
anger to sway the balance of justiee.”
The Telegraph observes that, “even before
ihe outrage of last night there could not be
two opinions as to the propriety of the step
which has been taken by the Irish Government
of prohibiting the Fenian processions.”
The papers generally concur in this view.
PROCLAMATION BT THE MATOR AND ROMAN
CATHOLIC BISHOP OP LIVERPOOL.
“ Borough of Liverpool. —Notice, is hereby

Liking place; and do hereby caution all per

and punished with the utmost rigor of the law.
“ Edward Whitley, Mayor.”
Dr. Goss, the Roman Catholic Bishop oi Liv
erpool, has also issued a proclamation calling
on the members of his flock not to join in the
demonstration.
The Orangemen, of Liverpool, who had pro
posed a counter-demonstration as a mark oi
respect to the murdered police sergeant, had
likewise issued the following:
“ To ihe Orangemen of Liverpool. —Brethren :
Your deputation having received the assurance
o his Worship the Mayor that the procession
of Fenian sympathizers proposed to take place
ou Sunday next, for the purpose of showing
i heir sympathy with the murderers of Sergeant
Brett, will not be allowed, you are hereby re
quested not to assemble, as was intended, for
ihe. purpose of holding demonstration, and
t o to absent yourselves from the proposed
meeting place of the Fenians, except you are
called upou by the authorities to act as special
constables to assist in preserving the peace of
the town. By order.”
The above documents were succeeded by the
following, from the Fenian leaders :
“ (}»d Save Ireland. —Funeral procession in
nonor of Allen, Larkin and O’Brien, the three
Irish patriots,executed at Manchester,on Satur
day, 22d November, will take placein Liverpool,
on Sunday next, 15th instant. The procession
will assemble at Shell road, and start from
thence between one and two o’clock in the
afternoon. No party emblems, etc., will be
allowed. The processionists to wear crape,
lied with green ribbon, on the left arm. Irish
Women! assemble in your thousands, and
-how by your quiet and orderly demeanor your

syimratby by your presence. The committees
earm’stly desire that all who take part in the
procession will refrain irom giving the slightest
offense to any one, and strictly to observe the
rules laid down for their guidance. The bands
will cease to play whilst passing any place of
Divine worship. The procession to keep out
side tbe borough, so as not to infringe ou the
law. By order of the committee.
“ A. J. O’Shea.”
Ou the 13th the county magistrates in the
vicinity of Liverpool resolved that no process
ion should be permitted outside the boundaries
ot the town, and thereupon the following letter
was addressed to the Liverpool journals :
“8m: The committee for conducting the
procession on next Sunday have been waited
on to-day by several of their countrymen, long
resident in this town, for whose opinions they
entertain Ihe highest esteem, and, in deference
to the strongly expressed wish ol those gentle
men, they have abandoned the idea of haviug a
procession either in or out of the town.”
AN INTERVIEW WITH TnE TOPE.
The Rome correspondent of the Irish Times
writes as follows :
Those who have seen the sovereign Pontiff
deliver ids benediction to Rome and to the
world at Easter from the Loggia, officiate at the
grande messe at the high attarat Bt. Peter’s, or
assist at any other public ceremony or festival
—such lucky ones will doubtless forever pre
serve a lively recollection of the grandeur and
religious solemnity of the occasion. But to see
Pius the Ninth aright, to understand his true
character, and appreciate if, you must strip him
of his vestments ot purple and gold, and imagine
him simply clad in a cosy arm-chair at a table
coy ered with papers'and documents, in a room
in the Vatican, small and plainly furnished. In
such an apartment I was introduced, and it was
here I 6pent the delightful half hour which I
shall always remember with tbe deepest sense
of pleasure and gratification. It was late' when
I entered—past 4 o’clock—and the lamp in the
centre of the table gave a dull light in tberoom,
though quite sufficient to enable me to observe
every feature and every little movement of my
august host. All the world has seen tbe Pope’s
photograph; but though his photograph re
sembles him in a certain degree, yet there are
lew sun pietuaes which ever do justice—though
th<%’ are sometimes too impartial—and in the
present case you lose the whole benevolent ex
pression of the eyes which ever light up the
dignified countenance. To describe his Holi
ness as I saw him: He looks about seventy
years old—his age is seventy-five—middle-sized,
and though rather inclining to corpulency, yet
of a frame still retaining all its muscular power.
Little tiny dumpling hands, white as snoYV, and
little tin}' feet, of which any lady would be
proud. A face we cannot look upon Yvithout
loving—so mild is it and benevolent; the large
dark Italian eye being softened by the constant,
affectionate smile playiug about the mouth—a
smile not assumed and put aside at will, but
one of real Christian hope and resignation, ever
present, ever suggestive of the true character
ol the man.
More Good News.—“We have been reliably
informed,” says the Savannah Republican of the
30th, “that quite a number of changes will
shortly be made in tbe governmental offices of
Savannah. It would be nothing more than
just retribution (hat those office-holders, who
have endorsed the manacling of a free press
whenever it refused to support the corrupt
schemes of unscrupulous men, should be sum
marily ejected from the places of trust and hon
or that by mere chance they have too long been
permitted to disgrace and dishonor. We fancy
the cause of patriotism and morality will not
suffer if a few wholesome changes are speedily
made, and we know our citizens will welcome
them.”

Great Excitement in Jefferson County.
FIENDISH OUTRAGE OF A NEGRO—HE IS AR
RESTED. MUTILATED AND BURNED ALIVE—
PARTICIPATION OF WHITES AND BLACKS IN
THE ACTS.
We learned on Saturday that news had been
received here of the capture of a negro who
had committed a henious offense upon a young
white girl, near Louisville, in Jefferson county,
but the reports were then very indefinite. We
have since obtained some further particulars,
which eu ibleus to give the principal circum
stances.
As nearly as ave can ascertain, a negro way
laid a young white girl, in a secluded spot, on a
road leading from Louisville, and committed
rape upon her, using much violence. As soon
as the fact became known, an excited crowd,
white and black, assembled, and arrested the
negro, who confessed his guilt. He was then
tied to a tree, and burned alive. According to
one account his ears were first burned off, and
his face cut with a knife. The crowd was very
excited, and as violent a disposition for ven
geance was manifested by the negroes as the
whites, although many of the people of the
county earnestly disapproved of and protested
against the illegal course of the lynchers, as
unjustifiable, and less effective for the public
good than the ordinary course of the law. One
statement is, that the” Freedmen’6 Bureau offi
cer was prevented from interfering by threats
against his life, and that those who were op
posed to the movement were also threatened at
their houses. But the majority of the people,
while and black, regard the act, though un
sanctioned by law, as warranted in the emer
gency of so heinous an offense, and as sustain
ed by precedents, Noith and South.
The Freedmcn’s Bureau Agent has written
lo Gen. Sibley for troops, who have been sent,
and it is very probable that parties implicated
in the affair will be arrested.
Among the killed by the railroad accident at
Angola, was Charles Lobdell, associate editor of
the La Crosse (Wisconsin) Democrat. He was ,
onfhis way to Bridgeport, Connecticut, to spend
the holidays with his relatives.
An Old Love-
It is not that I love you less devotedly than when
Your summers were but twenty—and your children
were but ten.
You the queen of this poor bosom in my fancy still
I crown,
As when your name was Parker, and befoie you mar
ried Brown.
No! I love you still as fondly as I did in days of yore,
v\ lien I used to call at tea-time, or a litile bit before;
When I used to bring the kettle, pour the water in
the pot;
When I proffered warm affections, and I handed muf
fiOß hot.
No, I love you still as fondly as I did in ancient days,
When we used to go out Yvalking in our sentimental
ways;
When I handed you politely over stile and over gut
ter,
And my feet were in a puddle and my heart was m a
flutter.
Then there came a separation, and it cost us sighs and
tears—
Our paths, they were divided, as you know, for many
years;
And when at leßgtli we met again, the changes were
not few,
I had taken a drysaltery—and Brown had taken you.
But I love you Btill as fondly as I used to love you
then,
And could I only wed you, should he the happiest o'
men ;
But the love of age is wiser than the love of youth by
tar—
It likes its shares at premium, and does not care for
par.
Your weddirg Brown I pardon—for they say that he
died “ warm,”
And wealth would gild the ravages of time on that
dear form—
Yet an obstacle arises -but one obstacle—and that’s
That I’m told that all the money lias been settled on
the brats!

Hon. Alexander H, Stephens.
It was announced some days ago by tele
graph that Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Geor
gia, had passed through Augusta on his
way to the North. Since that time it has
been stated by Northern papers that he was
to deliver lectures in response to invitations
from societies and prominent citizens in
various Northern cities and towns. We
learn that Mr. Stephens has proceeded to
Philadelphia, where he has been engaged in
superintending the publication of a work
which he has written, but that he is at pre
sent in the neighborhood of this city,
where he is temporarily sojourning with a
friend. Notwithstanding the positive state
ments that Mr. Stephens had accepted invi
tations to deliver lectures in the Northern
cities on the state of the country; we are
confirmed in the opinion heretofore express
ed that no unqualified consent to do so had
been given. Mr. Stephens does not seem to
have ever been in the habit of speaking
without some useful end, and, until it can
be made clear to his mind that practical
good can be attained by such an expression
of his views as lias been solicited, it is not
probable that he will be heard from in the
way indicated. He has now in press in
Philadelphia a work upou the causes of the
late contest, the principels involved, and
the results of the war, which will no doubt
contain statements and views of great
value and interest. We cannot but think,
however, that Mr. Stephens would render
a great public service by appearing in
person before the people of the North
and enabling them to realize the alarm
ing state oi' tilings in the South, and
impressing them with the serious fore
bodings which lie is known to entertain in
regard to the future. The country is grop
ing in the dark, and it would seem that
men are earnestly desiring to be enlighten
ed, and anxiously seeking some clue lor ex
trication from the labyrinth in which they
feel the nation to be involved. Wc arc im
pressed with the conviction that the time,
if not already arrived, is near at hand
when such a hearing would be accorded to
Mr. Stevens as his acknowledged sound
ness of judgment and purity of character
entitle him to, and when his views of the
true policy to be pursued by which a reme
dy may be found for existing evils, and the
more threatening calamities of the future
be averted, will have an awakening and
salutary effect upon the public mind. No
statesman of the South commands person
ally more of the good will of the Northern
people than Mr. Stephens, and the almost
prophetic foresight manifested in that mem
orable speech of his-in Milledgevillc, dur
ing the agitation of the secession question,
in Yvhich lie portrayed the hazards of that
perilous experiment, lias been so fully at
tested by what has since taken place, that
his views of the future will have a conside
ration and weight which would be accord
ed to the opinions of few other men. It is
to be hoped, therefore, that Mr. Stephens
may be convinced of the utility of accept
ing what we think is likely to be an oppor
tune moment to impress His views, if not
admonitions,upon the country by popular
addresses, under the auspices which solicit
him to that course.
[From the Columbus Enquirer.
A Shocking Occurrence at Whitesville,
Harris County.
A MAN KILLED AND ANOTHER WOUNDED.
Editor Enquirer : For some time there has
been a society, Union League, or something of
the kind, composed of negro men, here. Till
recently, they have harmed no one,.nor has any
or.e harmed them. Frequently they have ap
peared iu uniforms, or with their badges,
inarching up and down the streets, with drum
and fife, going through the military drills, etc.
The Postmaster, a very aged mm, has a great
dislike to such displays, and ou former occa
sion had let them know it.
Oa Christmas day the negroes were march
ing by the office, and, with gun in hand, be
called on them to halt. The gun was charged
and the hammer raised. They took itfrom him
and shot it off, throwing him down at the same
time, and made some boastful remarks about
it. While no one justified the old man, every
one felt indignauc at the treatment lie had re
ceived. The next day the society again formed
at Hie usual place of meeting, and marched
toward the business part of town. Frank
Davenport, a while man, quite intoxicated,
rode up the street, meeting the negroes, and
encouraged them to come on, that he would
lead them. He then turned and rode at full
speed, lorciug his horse into a store. This in
tensified the excitement, and was regarded by
many of the citizens as the outburst ot hostili
ties, and of a fixed purpose on the part of the
Leaguers to overrun the place.
Earnest efforts were made on the part of the
citizens to stop the disturbance. Davenport
dismounted in front of the house, but could
not be pacified. James Lyle and others tried
to reason with him, but he was furious. At
this time he received a gun from the hands of
a mulatto, one of the principal men of the
society ; with this he shot Lyle, wounding him
in the arm ; Lyle shot also, killing Davenport
iustantiy. The negroes fled in every direction,
and order was restored.
The writer would not convey the idea that
the society referred to has for its aim any evil
design, but evil spirits iu it have their bad influ
ence over it.
I apprehend not the slightest danger of any
further disturbance. Many of the negroes—
yes, I think nearly every one—regrets the oc
currence, and I am sure every citizen does.

Destitution in England.— Lamentable
accounts are given respecting tlic destitu
tion prevailing in London. The suffering,
according to the Times newspaper, is likely
to surpass that of any former year. The
winter has set in early, the wail of misery
is loud, and many causes combine to make
the condition of the poor more than usually
intolerable :
“ Last winter the demands on the public
were unprecedented, but the wealthier
classes, though they had themselves suffer
ed much from the events of the year, re
sponded with unshrinking liberality. The
amount of money given away to the poor
of London, beyond that disbursed in legal
relief by the poor law, was almost incredi
ble. It seemed that the amount had reach
ed its highest point; but, if we are not mis
taken, the exigencies of the present season
will surpass those of any former year. The
East End is poorer than ever. Trade has
not revived, work has not again been found
for the population which the delusive pros
perity of past years gathered together, or,
we might say, created. Great establish
ments have been closed, anil the people
who have been waiting round their old
workshops, in hope that good times would
come again, are said to be in bitter want.
The districts which were the best off some
time back, now need the most assistance,
because they have beeii the most fatally
struck in their industry. We hear of whole
streets where everybody is out of work; we
hear of families starving, some noisily and
with much invocation of their neighbors’
assistance, some silently and desparingly.
The sights to be seen are, we are told, har
rowing ; and no doubt the narratives
which every clergyman or visitor could
communicate would fill the listener with
horror and pity.”

Pnompt Payments.—This is the season set
apart from time, immemorial ter the settlement
of accounts. Promptness in the payments of
small accounts will cause the circulation of
considerable currency, and save much annoy
ance. A creditor may afford to call ollcn lor a
large mnquut, but in the matter of “little
bills,” hope do.cried m.dtcfh the heart sick.
There are numbers of city subscribers to the
Constitutionalist in arrears. Individually,
the amounts due are small—collectively, they
are large. Taking into consideration the strin
gency of the times, such subscribers will per
ceive the necessity of immediate settlement,
and in order to insure the continuance of the
paper for the coming year a strict compliance
with our terms—invariably in advance.
The Street Oars.— Monday afternoon, in
company with twelve or fifteen gentlemen, we
made the “grand round” of the Street Rail
road in one of the very excellent cars which
has been plying to and fro several days past in
order to “ learn the way,” break the horses,
and accustom the drivers to the business. The
driver in charge ol the vehicle in which we
made the trip was evidently an experienced
Jehu and hand liis horses well in had, ior in
making the detour he kept upon the track the
entire route.
Starting on Jackson street, in front of
“Schneider’s,” we turned into Broad, thence
to Lincoln, continuing out to Watkins, up that
street to Centre, down Centre to Greene, thence
to Broad, up to McKinne and out MeKin
ne to the depot and stables. We here left the
cars for a tour of inspection: The stable is
a commodious brick building, well ventilated,
and has stalls for forty horses. The entrance
to the stalls are on either side of the stable
east and west—from passage ways within the
Walls. The stalls lace to the centre, through
which runs another passage way ton or twelve
feet wide ; iu the middle of this is a railway
which continues out the rear doorway to the
forage barn, which is built of wood, and suffi
ciently distant lrom the stable to allay any
alarm for the safety ol the horses in case of
fire. The feed is conveyed from the barn, in a
suitable car, to the’stable, when it is distribut
ed, right and left, to each stall. The depot—
containing the offices and the car-shed—is a
substantial two-story huiidiug ol brick, and ar
ranged with a view to the greatest convenience
and comfort. This inspection finished,
we re-enlercd the ear, which continued
along McKinne street to Fenwick, down
Fenwick, past the Augusta Factory, the water
reservoir, across Dublin bridge to Jackson
street, down Jackson street back to the start
ing point, having occupied just one hour, fif
teen minutes of which was consumed in the
examination of the stable and depot. We
learn that the route will be formally opened
for public travel on the second day of January,
and that eight cars will be put iu motion —four
running each way and each and every ear mak
ing the round trip every hour. Thus : a car
will pass any given point every fifteen minutes,
and on that portion of the road in Broad street,
between Jackson and Monument streets, a car
will pass every seven and a half minutes.
The schedule has not yet been arranged, but
we learn that it will be perfected to-day. The
managers desire to accommodate the public
and the running time will be settled with this
end in view.
Tun Weather —For several days prior to
Monday the weather in this vicinity has been
balmy and spring-like—the thermometer rang
ng in the seventies; such Christmas weather
has not been experienced within the memory of
the ever present oldest inhabitant. On Sunday
the day was glorious, admirably in keeping
with the good news which greeted our readers
as they opened their morning papers and learn
ed that hope—Manassas Pope—once more had
business in Washington. But we were speak
ing of the weather, the good weather—well; it
has quit, too. Yesterday it rained; one of
those old-fashioned, misty, vapory, yet cold
rains. The streets were muddy and the side
walks presented a series of shallow water ba
sins ; the street ears would have made a big
haul bad they been hauling at all yesterday.—
Last night the rain changed to sleet, and lest
we slip up on the subject we leave it, confident
our readers know as much about it as we do.
Another “ Trooly Loil” Assassin. —Mar
tin, the United States District Attorney for
Alabama, who has attempted to assassinate
Judge Busteed, is a native of Alabama, and the
degenerate son of a prominent lawyer of that
State now dead. The enormity and cowardice
of this crime is fully described in onr tele
graphic dispatches, and is in keeping with the
brutal assault of the sons ot a notorious per
jurer ot this State upon the editor of the “Sa
vannah Republican”
It would lippear from these transactions that
the “ trooly loil” oilicials of “ the best Govern
ment the world ever saw” are determined to
kill all who may be bold enough to expose
their rascalities, and are willing to commit
murder, or any other crime known to the
Decalogue, before they will be driven from the
fat places they arc enjoyiug.
Whilst we regret to record this unwarrant
able outrage against a man of Southern birth,
we are profoundly grateful that the sin does not
lie at the door of one of those whom Radical
journals delight to refer to as “ unreconstruct
ed rebels.”
We sincerely trust that Judge BuPteed may
recover in time to deliver tfee decision expected
of him on the constitutionality of the Rump
Military Bill. —Columbus Sun <Sf Times , 2’ith.
A report reached this city by the train from
Opelika last night, that an affray occurred at
Dadeville, Tallapoosa county, yesterday,
between the whites and blacks, in which sev
eral persons were killed, and that a squad of
soldiers has been sent from Opelika to quell
the riotous spirit ot the negroes.

AUGUSTA MARKET.

Augusta, Ga., Monday, Noon, >
December 30, ISO 7. S
The days preceding Christmas, were characterized
by a very brisk trade, and prices for all leading articloe
have remained comparatively steady. We do not
change quotations to any great extent, for the reason
that so little has been done since the twenty-fifth,
that it Is impossible to say any tiling definite of prices.
COTTON. —We deem any remarks upon the mar
ket superfluous, in view of the fact that below will be
found the particulars of the week’s business. There
is an evident lack of unanimity in dealers in the staple,
with reference to “classification,” but we believe that
in our reports we conform very closely to the ideas of
the majority.
