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. William B. Reed, J, li. Tucker, Alexandria, Sept. 29, 1866, I will be at Alexandria on Tuesday. J. C. Underwood. 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 any former uneasiness amis, causing a e if of sympathy ’ '%Xy s! ol ll a l •!!, pr. »!ueiilßMß \ omit in g, all sweet, lovely dame himself is very tender-hearted, tnWM “r 7. more voice woman than he is h/m self,” yet possessing in a very promi nent degree, that cunning and sagacity, 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 ter, too, “Glory Ann,” proves herself to he a real, bona fide chip of the old block, who having made so wonderful aud pro found a proficiency in the abstruse study ot the science of Shakespeare, she can distinguish a mathematical demonstra tions, a long, lean, lank, slab-sided belly, 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 shade.
