A OONTKttSATIOH WITH HIM PRIOR TO HIS* DEATH —HIS VIEWS ON THE POLITICAL SITUA TION —NO HOPE FOR THE ELECTION OF SEY MOUR—THE REVOLUTION TO ItEACn ITS CLI MAX—AN INDEPENDENT SOUTH IN THE FU TURE—HIS OPINIONS OF JOSEPH E. BKOWN AND JAMES GORDON BENNETT. Mobile, October 11, 1868. The announcement, of the death of Howell Cobb, so suddenly and unexpectedly, has oc casioned considerable regret here, as it will throughout the South, where he was so well and favorably known. It also enables your cor respondent to repeat a conversation held witli the deceased in August last, and in doing so it is to be hoped that no one will regard the act as lacking in respect tor the dead. Two visits to Macon anil one to Athens for the purpose of seeing Gen. Cobh had failed in their object, but the tourtli was successful. Ail acquaintance passing over a period of several years brought a cordial welcome, and after matters of a purely social and personal nature had been discussed, the real purpose of the visit was introduced. “General,” I remarked, “as 1 have before, I once ugain desire to have your views on the political situation. Your speech in Atlanta liut month is being used by the Radical newspapers with considerable effect, and I desire to know if the sentiments attributed to you by them are really yours.” “ I do Dot care what the Radical newspapers of the North say about me,” he replied. “ That speech of mine in Atlanta was the first I deliv ered since the war ended, and if I was-abused when I kept silent wiiat need I expect when I do say something. I have written a letter de nouncing the manner in which my language lias been misconstrued. I desire peace as earnestly as any man in the country ;1 have ac cepted the situation and intend to adhere to the terms of my parole faithfully, but I will never accept the kind of peace proposed by the Radical party. We are either an integral part of the Uuion or conquered people. If the first, I claim the same rights tor Georgia as New York possesses ; if the last, let us understand it fu'.ly, so that we may decide among ourselves on such a policy as will in the future lead us lo liberty. But this halfway measure will not suit the Southern people. Constitutional amendments and legislative enactments which make political outcasts of some of our best men and which reduce to a state of political vassal age the |whites of the South will not bring about a lasting peace.” “ But I tbonght, General,” I remarked, “that, you were at one time in favor of the lonrteeuih amendment to the Constitution.” “So 1 was, Captain, for a little while,” he answered. “ Luckilly I did not so express my self publicly, for after giving the amendment a careful consideration I saw that it would not do. I regard that amendment as the most dangerous encroachment upon the reserved rights of the States that has yet been attempted ,by the party in power.” The General then gave his reasons for this opinion, which were mainly that it gave to Congress almost unlimit ed power over"the States in the matter of suf frage and representation. It was, iu his opin ion, a direct blow at our system of govern ment. “ What, then, do you propose as a means of restoring peace and hcaiiug the differences be tween the two sections ?” “ An abandonment of every measure of re construction and a recognition of every South ern State as an equal of every Northern State. Unless this is done there will be no peace and cannot be any. The Southern people were earnest in their efforts to restore the Uuion alter hostilities bad ceased. Had they been met in a friendly spirit we would now have been a united people and the Southern soldier would have fought aside ot the Northern sol dier, under the same banner, against a foreign enemy, with as much courage and fidelity as he did for independence. This feeling is al most dead in the South. Radical legislation, with its military and civil despotism, has em bittered our people, and many of them have begun to look with utter loathing upon a government which deliberately attempts to make the slave of yesterday rule men who have ever possessed the highest order of freedom. Captain, you arc not so blind as not to have perceived that there is less Unionism at the South to-day tbau there hits been at any time within your recollection. And upon the result of the pending election depends whether the Union feeling shall be revived or killed for ever.” , “ And what do yon think of the prospect ?” “Bad,” he replied. “I am afraid that wo cannot elect Seymour. He is a good and able man, but be cannot stem the current of this revolution. It must reach its climax. Grant himself will • endeavor to stay it, but he, too, will be swept away. We bave seen war, blood shed, partial despotism. We are now Beeing license in the name of liberty. The next step is anarchy and a renewal of hostilities, which will break out at the North.” “ Ah, General, the same thing was said in I860.” Sri-ttlccklu Constitutionalist. “8o it was, Captain; but the lion was not armed. Suppose Grant President—and my private opinion is that he will be elected—and that will be the result. Congress will be com pelled to adopt measures for the Southern States’similar to those adopted in Tennessee; for nnles the whites of the South are all disfran chised it will be impossible to make Radical States of these, and just as sure as we are per mitted to vote, just so certain are we to destroy the Radical party. Give us anything like free dom of speech and of action and we will not only kill the party here, but, aided by tbe Northern Democracy, we will kill it at the North. Tbe Radical leaders know this, and self-preservation will compel them to adopt harsh measures for the Sonth. Despotism here will eventually react upon the North. One half of this country cannot long remain free while the other half is in a state of vassalage.— When the Northern people are made to feel the same tyranny which we are now feeling there will be a revolution at tbe North, and it is merely a matter of time for its occurrence.— Revolution at the North makes ns arbiters, and the Radical party will not only be extermina ted, but the South ’’—here the General paused. “ But the South ?” I queried. “ Will be an independent republic,” And after a short pause he went on : “I may not live to sec the day, but you may. Jeff. Davis truly said that although our cause was lost, the principles for which we fought can never die. If moderate counsels had prevailed after the war ended we would have had a lasting Union, bnt our great idea of republican government would have triumphed in the end. Extremists have prevailed, and would continue to prevail for some years to come. Captain, we have a long and dreary prospect before us ; but I be lieve things will come out right after ail. But when freedom comes agarn there will be two governments instead ot one. In their efforts to prevent tbe possible chance of a Southern Confederacy the Northern Radicals are so act iug as to make one inevitable.” “ But, General, do you not think that if the Radicals attempt to go any further Grant will use his influence against them and call upon the Democracy to aid him ?” “No ; I don’t believe that Grant has auy very great popularity. It Ben Wade had been the candidate for the Presidency, he would not have received a vote less than Grant will. I re peat that the progress of this revolution can not be checked or hurried on by any particular man. God knows I sincerely wish that the prospect w’as brighter, but to me at least it is very dark.” The conversation then turned to various top ics, until reference was made to ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, when General Cobb said : “Do you remember, Captain, that while I was in command of the troops below Griffiii, in the Fall of 1864, you-speut a night with me?” (The speaker referred to the time when Sher man was in Atlanta, and just before he started on his march to the sea.) I bowed an acquiescence. “Do you also remember that in speaking about this man Brown I predicted that if we were whipped he would be one of the first to go over to the enemy ? You see for yourself how my prediction has been fulfilled. Joe Brown is one of the most contemptible char acters in the country. Elevated into positions of honor by the Democratic party, he lias treacherously slabbed it now that it is not in power, and he will treat Radicalism in the same way as soon as it fails lo give him office. 1 look upon him as * * * to the United States Government. Time will tell whether he is sincere in his present professions. The conversation again changed, and various subjects were discussed, when the New York Herald and its proprietor, Mr. James Gordon* Bennett, were spokeu of. Geu. Cobb said of Mr. Beunett: Squares. 1 1 Week. ’ 2 Weeks. ' 3 Weeks. ’ 1 Month. 1 2 Months ' 3 Months ' 4 Months : 5 Months. ; |o Months. “ I regard Bennett as the. greatest man in po litical life that this country has known. Placing aside the financial success of bis paper, he has had the moral courage to say as he pleased without iniuringße circulation of his journal one copy. He is very inconsistent, it is true, and I believe frequently allows bis paper to pursue a policy that he does uot personally ap prove of. But be is a man ot genius and will have no obscure page iu tbe history of the country. “ General,” said your correspondent, as be rose to leave, “ although this conversation has been of a purely social character, may I "publish all of it or such portions as you may name? Asa prominent Southern man your views would be«tf considerable interest to the public.” .“ No, uo. Captain,!' h« said, -“.You.must-not publish anything that I have said. I do not wish my views used to injure tlieSouthern peo ple. They are suffering enough already. Some of these days,” he continued, bumarously, “ when I am dead and gone, if the fulfillment ot my predictions makes what I have said of interest, you can publish them. Ah, Captniu, times are much changed. A few years ago a man could publicly say what he thought, audit was called freedom of speech ; now an open ex pression of opinion is called treason.” As he concluded General Cobb shook ray hand with his accustomed warmth and 1 took my leave. That was the last time I saw him. Whatever his enemies may say of Howell Cobb it is none the less true that a more noble hearted, generous, genial and hospitable roan never lived. The views given in the foregoing are published now because I had his permission at a time when he never expected that his death was so near at hand. They may or may not be of interest. It is, however, to be hoped that if tbe super-loyal gentlemen who edit Radical newspapers discover anything of a “ disloyal ” character in what he said they will abstain from any attack on the dead, now that Praise and blame fall on Ids ear alike. [From the New Orleans Picayune, 26tli. The New Orleans Emhrogllo. About ten o’clock, last nifflit, as the Work ingmen’s Club were serenading at the residence of Mr. Thus. Hare, 165 Pojdras street, they were passed by the Grant Colored Club, march ing down St. Charles street. As soon ns the Workiugmen finished their serenade they re sumed their march down St. Charles, about forty paces in '.he rear of the. negroes. From there to the corner of Canal the uegroes con stautly assailed them with offensive and insult ing epithets. Anxious to avoid a difficulty the white men ho re their taunts in silence, and pre served a demeanor which utterly precluded the idea of any hostile design. Reaching the corner ot Canal street, tlie Col ored Club divided, a part going up each side of the neutral ground, so as to keep the Work ingmen constantly in their rear. This insult, too, was put up with, uutil Caroudelet street was reached and passed. About half way between Carondelet and Bai-ome streets, the negroes halted, and a part of them turned back, and thus brought their men face to face with the white club. At this juncture a negro broke from the ranks of his own club and rushed into the ceu tre of the white club, shoutiug, at the top of bis voice, “ Come on, let’s clean them out 1” It was not in human uature to endure all this, certainly not in the nature of men, smarting under recent outrages and taunts borne in si lence for an hour. A shot was fired by a negro lrom the rauks of the returning party, which cut through the cap of a gentleman named Richardson. It was then that the white men returned the fire, and a general engagement en sued. There was a wild rush, a fearful ming ling in a death struggle of the white and black element, and a quick and rapid discharge ol fire-arms all along the liue. The angry throng bent and swayed in the mad struggle, and men were locked in a passionate embrace which held the issues of life and death. Above the moan and shout of the angry combatants the sharp reports of pistols sounded like the echoes of a skirmish line before the continuous, roar of battle breaks on the car. It was scarce ly a minute, and yet blood ran red on the streets, and dead negroes lay stretched ou the ground. It was scarcely a second’s time before six lay dead on the street, and two more were borne back by their fellows mortally wounded. The negroes fought wildly, aud were evidently in mortal dread at the terrible retribution they provoked. The white men, on the contrary, were skilled in the use of arms, and most of them had before kept 6tep and line in the fury of the battle. They were not alarmed at the shout of the parti colored foe, for they had seen hostile pennons bend and shake in a me lee when men died by hundreds. They knew that the time had come to teach a lesson, and the least show of temerity would stimulate the negroes and their cowardly associates to drench the city in blood. There was, therefore, no giviug back and no wavering in the conflict. While the head of the column of the Work ingmen were thus engaged, the rear formed into line and marched to their support. It was at this moment the negroes fled. Broken and discomfited they ran in every direction. Al though they had provoked thecouflict.and had been themselves the assailants, yet the attack ceased the very moment that resistance was at an end. They were not pursued, and no ad vantage taken of the victory gained. Through out the conflict the negroes numbered two to one. It was this excess of forces, no doubt, which incited them to the attack. They knew the white men had borne in silence taunts such as they were not accustomed to endure, and believed that they could with impunity advance another step in tbeir hostile aggreeakJM, and perhaps prbvoke an jencotmtgr redound to their advantage. In tbia they were mistaken. Short ot actual violence, arrythiug would have been put up with; but the people of New Orleans had too long and too seriously suffered from the brutal insolence of negroes, urged On as they are oj? cowardly whites, to permit tbeir rights as citizens and tbeir very manhood to be trampled iu tbe dust. When assailed, they had a right to resist; they did no more. The conflict began at the’corner of CSronde let, and extended as far up Canal as Burgundy street. Here it ceased. As far as beard from, at 12'o’clock last night, six negroes were killed, two mortally wound ed, and one slightly injured. Among tbe whites a Mr. Richardson was wounded in the head slightly by a bullet; a newsboy named Dooley was shot in the wrist, and a man named Ryau injured in the leg by a spent ball or glance shot. A few minutes after the riot ceased a large body of negroes, numbering about four hun dred, marched np Basin and Rampart streets, from Congo Square, where a large Radical meeting had been held. They had evidently heard of the disturbance and bad come to par ticipate in it; but before they reached the scene all had become quiet. They offered no violence to any one, and went on their way as if nothing had happened. At tbe present moment, 12 o’clock, all appears to be quiet in the city. The streets are com paratively free from crowds, and no sign of a disturbance appears in any direction. LATEST. At midnight the wildest excitement prevailed, and rumors flew thick and fast of conflicts in various portions of the city. A company of United States cavalry patroled the streets, but it would have taken an army to have kept order in the excited state of fmblic feeling. At tne corner of Thalia and Camp streets a conflict occurred between a mob of negroes and a few white men, in which one white man was shot through tbe body. He ran as far as the corner of Magazine and Melpomene streets, where he fell. Another white man was shot and slightly wounded on Triton Walk. Large bodies of men are gathering at almost every street corner, talking in angry excitement. The feelings of the populace seem thoroughly aroused, and it is not improbable that a couflict may again occur. It certainly will if any con siderable body of negroes appear on tbe streets. A Dumb Oracle. — When the Chinese living in Ba,i Francisco first made public their pur pose to erect a Buddhist temple in that city; there occurred a very lively discussion in the newspapers regarding what was assumed to be the danger ot permitting the introduction of idol worship as a recoguized institution in a Christian community, and some of the writers strongly urged legislative interference in tbe matter. It was argued that the hare fact of the existence oi an organized system of idolatory in this country would he prejudicial, at least, to the interests of civilization, and perhaps re garded by other civilized nations as evidence of our failure to main tain the principle of reli gious liberty without risking the ongruftmentof heathenism upon our varied stock of religious theories. But public opinion did not respond to the alarm, and “ John Chinaman” proceeded to build bis “ joss house ” and make his offer ings of pork and poultry before graven images of wood and stone, and curiosUy-srekiug Christians crowded the temple on high days and holidays to witness the novelty of pagan worship. It does not appear that the huge wooden monster exhibited in the temple has had any demoralizing influence upon Christian society in San Francisco—at least no instance of a con version from Christianity to paganism has been chronicled. And perhaps public senti ment i3 correct in relusiug to accord sympathy witli the fears of those persons who believe .they see in the Chinese enterprise at San Francisco a plot to heathenize this country. (Ex. The Earthquake at San Francisco.— On Wednesday morning there was a great earth quake at San Francisco. Hardly any house es caped without more or less of damage, and those in that portion of the city npou “ made” ground sunk several inches. In numbers of places the earth gaped asunder and large jets of water were thrown up. property is said to have been uear a'lulmon doflarS, itna many lives were lost. Some of the papers areata loss to conjecture what was the particular cause of this earth quake. Seeming to attribute such disturbances to the action of volcanoes, and there being none in -active eruption now in tbe region immediate ly around San Francisco, they are discussing the reason why this phenomenon has appeared in that particular spot. There seems to us to be nothing mysterious about it more than in all other earthquakes.— The whole chain of the Rocky Mountains .and Andes is due to a big split in the earth that occurred in past ages. .Out of this cleft the igneous matter of the earth spewed up, form ing the lofty ridges on the Pacific. The earth’s crust was thinner and weaker on this line than anywhere else, and is so to this day. Os course any internal commotion is liable to shake this thin crust at any point along the mountains, wAether in Peru or Caiilornia. [ Norfolk Journal. Hymenial Etiquette—A few days since a young gentleman and young lady appeared at the parsonage ol an cminet clergyman of this city, for the purpose of having their respective destinies united in the holy bonds of matrimo ny. Everything being ready, the clergyman aforesaid was about to proceed with the cere mony, when the yonng lady discovered that she was minus the kid gloves so neceesary on such occasions; whereupon she requested her affianced to hasten to a store and procure the indispensable kids, telling him to “ be in a hur ry or she might change her mind.” The cler gyman, witnesses, and intended bride waited some time for the return of the youth with the gloves; he didn’t come. They waited longer, and still lie failed to put in an appearance. The matter at last becoming really serious and alarming, the clergyman took his hat and pro ceeded, post baste, in search ot the truant lover, whom he found, alter a diligent search and many inquiries, quietly seated on the ve randa of the Park House, with his feet eleva ted on the back of a chair and very deliberately puffing a cigar. On being asked to explain his singular eonduct, he carelessly remarked that he “ was waiting to see if she was going to change her mind.” They were married, however, at last, after two hours’ delay. f Ottawa (111.) Republican. TVould Not Sing Hymns.—Dr. Norman McLeod, in bis account of bis visit in India, given in the Assembly of the Church of Scot land, said : I one day met one of the ten missionaries from America, and I asked him why he didn’t belong to the great body ol the American por tion of the churches laboring in India. He re plied that there were differences between them that could not admit of uniom “ Bray,” I said, “ wbat are these differences ?” “ Well,” be said, “ there is one tremendous thing— hymns.” “ That is as worthy a man as lives—a most excellent mau.” I then asked if he would not, in consequence ol those diflerencts, worship Jesus Christ with them. “ Yes,” he replied, “ under the protest 1” I could not help saying that this was the worst Brahmanism I had ever sceu in India. On a New Tack.—The Johnson Democratic organ at Washington, notwithstanding the New York arrangement that Seymour henceforward, in behalf of Seymour, is to stump it on anew platform, leaving General Blair entirely out in the cold, 6till iusists upon the withdrawal of both Seymour and Blair as the only salvation to the Democracy. Os course this means that the organ in question is tacking about towards Grant, and in view of being inside the distance mark in reference to the incoming administra tion. Johnson goes out on the 4th ol March, and business is business.—JY. F. Retold , 21*f. A New York paper, in speaking of a recent operatic performance in that city, says: “ Some of the toilets last night were very rich ; and one lady, in rather extravagant powdered hair, penciled eye brows, and artistically painted ehecks, attracted a great deal of attention. — Bonnets were worn, however, by most of the ladies, and the full opera style of dress was not generally adopted.” Three police officers arrested a man in Brook lyn, on Tuesday, for disorderly conduct, and were assaulted by a mob of 200 men and women with bricks, stones and other missiles. Two of the officers were severely injured, but held ou to their prisouer, and an accidental dis charge of one of their revolvers caused the crowd to scatter, leaving one of the ringleaders in the hands of the police. A good corn crop, it is said, indicates a good farmer.
