Tlie End Not Yet.
We are no alarmist, nor would we ut
ter a word which would unsettle our peo
ple, or arouse in them uneasy symptoms
as to the future. God knows their troubles
are already sufficient without additional
ones, and these we would mitigate if in
our power. St ill it is our duty, as a
journalist, to speak the truth, even at
the sacrifice of present hopes, if thereby
we may prepare the public mind for fur
ther disasters.
If we read the signs of the times cor
rectly, the agony, with ns, is not yet
over, if indeed it is not just beginning
Those of us who had fondly hoped that
the end of the war was the end of our
misfortunes, and that we would then be
permitted to set about the work of re
pairing our broken fortunes, and build
ing up the waste places which the sav
age hand of grim-visaged war had pro
duced, will be sadly disappointed. There
aiso yet other sufferings and other depri
vations and sacrifices in store lor us,
and the prudent man, forseeing the evil,
•will govern himself accordingly.
The unthinking portion of the com
munity, those who give but little atten
tion to passing events, and do not ana
lyze the character and motives of those
with whom we have to do, do not, we
are Sure, dream of what is going on in
the political world, and the probable re
sults of certain movements now agita
ted by our enemies. They merely look
upon the surface and give themselves
no thought or care about the future,
vainly trusting to a combination of ad-
ventitious circumstances, to work out
their redemption. Retired upon their
plantations and in their stores and shops,
they foresee but few of the troubles bu
ried in the future, and of the terrible
convulsions which, sooner or later, are
destined to upheave society from one
end of this continent to the other.
We say to them and to all concerned
that there is but one conceivable way of
averting these disasters, and that is by
the destruction of the Radical party,
for they alone are responsible for them,
and for all the prospective ruin which is
now so imminent. Overthrow them,
and the angry wave of discord and rev
olution will at once subside. Peace
will hover over the land. Prosperity
will regain its accustomed channels.—
Gladness and joy will spring up in eve
ry valley and mountain gorge, and eve
ry heart will become eloquent with its
lofty peans of praise.
We have, indeed, studied the temper
of these people to little purpose, if we
suppose they intend to let us oft' so easi
ly. That is far from their intention.—
They are filled with all manner of bit
terness. They arc self-willed and incor
rigible, obstinate and determined, and
arc impelled forward by the wildest pas
sions that ever found lodgment in hu
man nature. Revenge is what they are
after, and they intend to gratify it if
they have to plunge the country once
more in blood. Not all the sacrifices
-we have made, not all the sufferings we
'have endured, not all the anguish and
torture and murder which our people
have borne, will satisfy them. Like the
vulture, they would sit upon our inani
mate carcasses and tear from our decay
ing bones, the flesh which the work of
decomposition is fast sloughing off.
To appease them, we have actually
compromised our honor and dignity.—
Our self-respect has been bartered away.
Our manhood lias been shamefully low
ered, and all for the sake of peace. And
what, we ask, has it accomplished?—
What have wc gained? Simply their
most fearful imprecations ! They curse
us at every step and pour out upon us
their vials of wrath. There is no rest
for us. There is not a single ray of hope
spanning the heavens. All is as dark
.and dismal as midnight.
Still we hope for a day of vengeance.
That it will come, we as firmly believe
as that Justice is an attribute of the
Throne of God. The angel of chastise
ment will yet, in his terrible flight, scat
ter the awful instruments of destruction
and death in their midst, and then will
justice and humanity assert their empire
and guaranty to the oppressed, their
long lost rights and privileges.
Counterfeits Look Out. —The
Chattanooga Union of Saturday says:
Look out for counterfeit “ Twenties”
on the First National Bank, Portland,
M aine,several of which were, offered here
yesterday. A little scrutiny only is
necessary to detect them as the engrav
ing is quite coarse. Those seen were let
ter “A” and No. 02,30i in right hand
upper corner.
The Trial of Mr. Davis.
llie treatment of Mr. Davis is with
out a paralcll in the history of this
country. Dehions of hell could not
be guilty of more ferocious outrages
than the infernal devils of the North
in their conduct towards this unfortu
nate prisoner. For weeks and months
they have tried hard to connect him with
the foul deed of the assassination of Lin
coln and suborned witnesses to substanti
ate the fact. The ungracious scoundrels
knew that the whole tiling was false
from beginning to end, but they were
resolved to wreak their hellish revenge
upon him even at the sacrifice of honor
and truth, little dreaming that their
damnable deeds would come to light
and that a just sense of justice would
yet lacerate their miserable consciences.
For months they lurched behind piles
of documents and papers and refused
to allow Mr. Rogers to obtain access to
them, but at the eleventh hour this
indefatigable gentleman, actuated and
impelled forward by the high resolve
to unmask their villainy, succeeded in
dragging to light, from that mass of
documentary rubbish, the evidence of
their complicity with perjured witness
es, and spread before the country the
damning proofs of it. Thus they stand
to day in the presence of the whole
country, stamped and branded as liars
and ruffians.
But their revenge is not yet satisfied,
nor their thirst for blood assuaged. —
Eighteen months have elapsed, with all
their dreary and heart-rending con
comitants, and still Mr. Davis paces to
and fro in his dungeon, and is refused
a trial. By degrees death is slowly
and surely claiming him as a victim,
and the hope is that such will soon be
his sad fate and thus they will get shed
of him without a trial.
We call particular attention to the
subjoined correspondence,of Mr. Davis’s
counsel and Judge Underwood.
Trial of JefF. Davls--Corresi»onclcncc of
his Counsel with Judge Underwood.
Richmond, Tuesday, Oct. 2, iB6O.
The counsel of Mr. Davis, now in at
tendance at Richmond, deem it their
duty to lay_ before the public the fol
lowing brief statement of facts.
William B. Rued,
J. RANDoi.ru Tucker,
Robert Gulp,
On Thursday, June the sth, there was
a formal session of the Circuit Court of
the United States at Richmond, Judge
Underwood presiding. Grand Jury
men were sworn and other judicial
formalities observed. Davis’s counsel
wore present and anxious to proceed to
trial. On motion, of the District At
torney, the Court was regularly ad
journed to the 2nd of October, the
presiding Judge using this language:
“The Chief Justice, who is expected
to preside at the trial, lias named the
first Tuesday of October as the time
that will be most convenient to him.
When this court adjourns it will ad
journ, not until the next'term, which is
in November, but until the first Tues
day in October next. The motion of
the District Attorney is therefore grant
ed. This Court will adjourn not until
November, but until the first Tuesday
in October, which is perferred by the
Chief Justice and Attorney General.
The case will then, if not disposed of,
be taken up.”
In accordance with the order of the
Court the undersigned are in attend
ance here. They find no Court, and,
except from the information elicited in
the following telegraphic correspond
ence, have no intimation of the inten
tion of the Judge :
Richmond, Sept. 20, 1860.
To the Hon. John C. Underwood, Alex
andria :
As counsel for Mr. Davis, w» are very
anxious to know if you will be in Rich
mond Tuesday next, to which day as
you recollect, the Circuit Court of the
United States was adjourned. Wc are
in attendance here, and are desirous of
being apprised of the views of the court.
An early answer will much oblige us.
William Reed,
J.R. Tucker,
Alexandria, Sept. 20, iB6O,
2b Messrs. Heed and Tucker:
There will be no United States Court
in Richmond next week,
J. C. Underwood.
Richmond, Sept. 29, 1866.
Your telegram is received. Permit
us to renew the inquiry whether, on
Thursday, you will be at Richmond,
Norfolk or Alexandria. Your answer
will very much oblige us.

EaFU’ A New Orleans dispatch says
“ Capt. Smith, Commanding at Bren
ham, Texas, who was charged with the
burning of the town lias issued an
order for the disarming of the inhabit
ants, and has, in effect, declared martial
law. lie states that cases of outrages
upon’ freedman being on the increase,
he intends to render every assistance to
die bureau agent, in order that justice I
maybe done the freed men, and the
guilty parties be brought to justice.’' •
Rod Advice
The Journal and Messenger has for
sometime jpart, endeavored to throw
cold water'upon thfc production of cot
ton in the South, and has used various
arguments to prove that planters could
do better by raising hops , and all that
sort of thing. The advice is bad and the
reasoning inconclusive. Nature lias
made this a cotton country. Os course
we do not deny that even hops maybe
produced here in great abundance. Os
that, however, we know nothing. It
may be so, or it may not, but why
abandon a product which we know is
peculiar to this soil and climate and
which must be as remunerative as any
thing else we may attempt td grow.
We could be guilty of no greater folly
than to quit the cultivation of cotton,
and the folly is equally as unfortunate
in advising it to be done. For God’s
sake, and for the sake of our prostrated
country, let our people settle down
upon the only safe and legitimate busi
ness which they can successfully follow
—that of planting cotton! They under
stand that, and they know how to man
age it. They have neither the money
nor the time to be experimenting upon
hops and other foreign crops of which
they know just nothing.
Supplying Convicts with Wives.—
The French Government is taking pains
to supply some of the best behaved con
victs at Cayenne, with partners. A van
arrived at Toulon the other day, contain
ing twelve tall, fine young girls, from
eighteen to twenty-five years of age,
coming from the central house or peni
tentiary at Clermont, Oise. About six
ty more are expected, and to be shipped
on board the Ceres, for Cayenne, which
it is now proposed to populate in a
practical manner. Those young girls—
among whom is one who is a remarkable
beauty—are destined to contract legiti
mate unions with those of the condemn
ed in the penal colony, who have distin
guished themselves by their work and
their good conduct. Each couple will
receive a concession of a plot of land,
etc,, to begin life anew with.— Ex.
This is the only establishment we
know of which is proposing to go into
the manufacture of convicts. We had
supposed that the ordinary process was
sufficiently fruitful in producing them ;
but it seems we were at fault. With
the new system now inauguarated by
the French Government, we may expect
a rapid influx of young convicts! We
are not inclined to adopt the system in
this country for the reason that weal
ready have rascals enough and more
than wc can well control.
is the way Airs. Smith adver
tised her husband :
Lost, Strayed, Stolen. —An individual
whom I, in an urgent moment of loneli
ness, was thoughtless enough to adopt
as my husband. lie is a good looking
and feeble individual, knowing enough,
however, to come in when it rains, un
less some good-looking girl offers him
the shelter of her umbrella; answers to
the name of Jim; was last seen in com
pany with Julia Harris, walking with
his arm round her waist up the plank
road, looking more like a fool, if possible
than ever. Anybody who will catch
the poor fellow and bring him carefully
back, so that, I can chastise him for run
ning away, will be invited to tea by
Mary E. Smith.
Who will be generous enough to aid
Mrs. Smith in vcclaimirg her husband,
Jim ? It seems evident, from all the indi
cations, that he has strayed into some out
ofthe way place and, perhaps, may be
passing oft the time with some highly
virtuous ladies! We know that the
family of Smiths are somewhat inclined
to Uiesefreaks. By all means lend your
aid!
COMMUNICATED.
Me. Editor :—ln your Tuesday morn
ing’s issue, I see you recommend “that
absent-minded young man, the young
merchant, prince of clever fellows, to
get married at once,” warning him of
the sad result of selling a dress and
wrapping up whole bolts. Allow me
to say that young man coincides with
you in opinion on that point—has been
' out, and making some efforts in
_ . .. - . ...
that direction—tried to dismount one
young man to whom he sold a wedding
suit,'by wrapping it; up and giving it, to
another; but all to no effect, Ile is much
obliged to you for the suggestion—want
to know It you can’t suggest a plan
which will insure success, do this, and
come around and get his advertisement,
no more shall be gratuitous,
Americns, Oct. 11,’66.
We can say to our correspondent that
we were in hard earnest in advising our
friend, the “young merchant,” to marry,
as we were inclined to the opinion that
his Mind was evidently in a state of con-,
f usual on that vital subject and possi
bly led to the grave mistake in question.
There is an old lady of our acquain
tance who is noted for her tact in fore
telling future events, and to her we
would, unhesitatingly, recommend our
young friend, as one who can put him
on the high road to success, ami who.
no doubt, will give him some encoura
ging assurances as to the intentions of
the charming young lady whose hand
he is seeking. Hut hy all means hold
on to the bolt of calico until it if paid
for !
C. MMI’NICATED.
Mr. Editor: —I get up to sit down
and take my gray goose quill in hand,
though it is a slid misfortune to some
people to live in remote nooks and cor
ners, far from the thoroughfare where
gossip and scandal, together with the
ordinary news and startling intelligence
cannot travel with locomotive speed ;
such, Air. Editor, is my ignoble locality,
living far away from the “County sete
where Ike liv’s,” in a dark obscure piny
woods’ corner of the County,
traordinary emanations of light, com
municated thiougli the press, make their
way, like angel’s visits, “ lew and tar be
tween.” Yet, nevertheless, I have gen
erally been able td escape those horrid
confusions incident to crowded throngs
and the consequent whizzing and clatter
of railway go-aheadativeness, plodding
along the best I can do under the cir
cumstances, in an old familiar fogy style,
looking to the right and left, in order to
avoid as much as in me lies, the turbu
lent pestilential cess-pools of Radical
ism in whatever form it is presented.—
Imagine then, my exquisite pleasurable
emotion of being this day, the hap
py recipient of your paper ot the 29th
ult., containing a salsuginous communi
cation from “Ike,” of this County, whose
precious morceau, I have perused with
voracious avidity, and am still like the
horse-leech crying for mors. The fact
already evinced that “Ike” is a great and
very rare genius, one who can magnifi
cently display grandiloquent powers of
style upon so absorbing and sublime a
subject—thereby giving indubitable,
primafacia evidence, that the County
of Webster can boast of actually hav
ing within her territorial limits, a real
live progenitor or great Uncle, of that
renowned cosmopolitan precocious youth
“Ike Partington,” whose spontaneous
bursts of outpouring, up-heaving, exu
berating wit, unparalclled sallies, and
startling repartees, have already aston
ished the world, and the rest of man
kind.
“Ike” with those quick perceptions
that characterize his illustrious name
sake, lias by the aid of his microscopic
vision, been able to see a “mouse” and
discover'that the Grand Jury of this
county, have, with the accumulated
weight of their “pudding bellies,” float
ing over a phantom bridge, been chasing
his idolized pot with a sharp stick, pre
suming to recommend anything to the
wisdom and patriotism of the Georgia
Legislature, who wi 1 1 r

that enables strong minds like hers, to
grasp intuitively at the intentions and
purposes of “pudding-bellied” Jurors,
who, unfortunately, from some optical
illusions, cannot look through the same
spectacles she does hersclt; Ids daugh

ot the science of Shakespeare, she can

from a short, fat, pudding-bellied one,
that chased the trembling ghost of the
poor old bridge builder, to the other
side of the Kiuehafoone,to wait till the
flood dries lip. Wherefore, Air. Editor,
I can but congratulate the citixens of
our County, upon such a brilliant debut
of the bright constellation of renowned
worthies, whose unsolicited aid has
done so much to the neglected impor
tance of intellectual researches in the
science of negro courts and equal’zation,
as to lay the fluuttering ghost ot.‘ Shad
Stevens, ” the negro-n.ancer, in the
