Sri-WccMn gjUpnMiciut. Americus, Gki., "O, W. HANCOCK, Editor and Proprietor. Saturday. Oct- 20, 1866. Let us be Men That is the motto. No matter what may be our fate, or what may have been, heretofore, our sufferings, let us still cling to our manhood. That the incarnate demons of the' North can’t take from us. They may steal our prop erty, devastate our fields, plunder our houses and desolate this fair land of ours, but they can’t go further. The man they can’t molest. That still stands erect, grand and powerful, amidst the gederal wreck. We confess there are yet some craven spirits in the Mouth, who would “ crook the pregnant hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning.” They would sell their country and their birth right for a mess of pottage. They would betray their kindred and their countrymen for filthy lucre! They would turn us over to the “tender mer cies” of our enemies and gloat over our troubles and misfortunes. It lias been done.' Men to the manor-born, reared among us, and bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh, have, in Lite hour of misfortune, turned against us and hiss ed /Oil the--hell-hounds of fanaticism.— This is a humiliating confession, yet jus tice and truth require us to make it.— Can we not tell who, in every .communi ty, is against us ? Let them be spotted and branded ns too mean and detestible for our companionship. Is there not one man, at least, in this community who, sharing the hospitality of a noble people, was dog enough to turn against them and to inflict upon them the most serious and flagitious wrongs? And let him budge and we will throw his name, in big capitals, before this whole com munity', Our people shall know who it is that has wronged them, abused them, and misrepresented them, by lies the most s-ystematic and villainous. As y T et we mention no name, nor any circum stance which will give a clue to the mis erable wretch ; but it is enough to know that we are upon his track, and, by' the grace of God, we intend to protect this innocent people from bis venom and vituperation. Are we cowardly spaniels that we must yield to every insult, simply be cause we were overpowered and had to succumb ? Is that our manhood ? Never ! Then let us he men. Orr if South Carolina. This gentleman wo do not pretend to comprehend. Ilis character and move ments are, to us, inexplicable. But a few weeks ago we find him hobnobbing with Massachusetts at the Philadelphia Convention and locking arms with one of her delegates and marching into that body. Now we are informed that he is trying to get his Legislature together for the purpose, as is alledged, to pass the Constitutional Amendment. - bo, take him all over, and he is an incompre hensible enigma. There is one thing, however, which may be said of him, that he is an unscru pulous politician, without the lofty in stincts and endowments of political honor and rectitude, and will do any thing to promote his selfish aims and projects. Representing, as he does the great State of South Carolina, which was foremost in the work of secession, arid more clamorous than all the States to destroy the Union, one wonhl have thought he would have had more self respect and more pride for his State and people than to place himself in an atti tude so wanting in manliness and digni ty. Can it be, by the way, that the naugh ty old State has bad 'such a downright good hasting that she is now willing for this miserable abortion of a soil to hand her back to her punishers as a thoroughly corrected child, with all her had ways subdued and her temper prop erly adjusted and equipoised! We used to think a good deal of the proud old “ Palmetto,” and we should-dislike very much, to see her cringing and whining, like a whipped spaniel and parting with her ancient character for manhood and independence! That such will he her sad end, no one doubts, if she follows the lead of her present Governor. Hold on to the willows, dear ‘‘Old Palmcito!” Courage. —An exchange remarks that some of the blackguards at Cape Girardeau, who hadn’t the courage to follow Gen. Frank Blair in the war, had the courage to break the windows in the hotel where he slept. Civil Authority Entirely Re stored ix South Cakouxia. —Gen. Sickles, who commands the Military Department of South Carolina, has issued an order restoring to the civil authorities in that State all the functions that have hitherto been withheld from them by the military. The order de clares that “ Inasmuch as the State [ Courts are now open to all persons, with equal civil rights therein, without dis tinction of color, all cases—civil and criminal—in which the parties are civili ans, must be turned over to the State tribunals, and all civilians, now in milit ; ary custody will be surrendered to the Sheriff of the district in which tiie al leged offence was committed.” This : order practically, annuls the authority of the Freedman's Bureau in South . Cardinia. r,*a„Genernl Butler, in a. speech made at. Hamilton, Ohio, the other day, dc defended himself from the charge that he caused the suffering of the Union prisoners at Aiulersonvillo and else where, by refusing to make an exchange and threw the blame on General Grant. Butler said that the United States held 00,000 Confederate prisoners, and the Confederacy held only 30,000 Union prisoners ; that his plan was to go on exchanging man for man until he had gotten all the Union prisoners, and then to “ twist” the 30,000 remaining Confederate prisoners until lie “got the negroes out of the rebels.” We dont know certainly what be ment by “twisting” the Confederate prisoners, but the term sounds very much like some of the torturing devices of the Spanish Inquisition, that we used to read about. Corrox Tax Unconstitutional. — Revcrdy Johnson of Maryland, in re ply loan inquiry from Hon Charles J. Scott, of Wilks county, Alabama, gives it as his opinion that the tax of three cents, imposed by the act of Congress is unconstitutional, and he believe the Court will so decide. The Wilcox dimes says the planters of that county are concerting measures to have the question tested in the Superior Court. A Southern Invitation to the Jews. —The Richmond Winy thus en dorses the world renowned business i sagacity of this long despised race: - I “Terrible indeed must be the inclus- I trial condition of Ireland, when the j Israelites avoid it. Neither climate, ; distance, danger, nor other causes de ters them from settling in a country in which they can turn a penny.— Where there are no Jews there is no money to be made. Where there are no ricefields there are no rice-birds; where there are is no wild celery there are no canvas -back ducks; where there |is no trade there are no Jews. Wo : hail their presence in such numbers i in the Southern Statess as an auspicious sign. Instead of diminishing here they have probably increased. In this city : numerous squares, almost entire streets, are monopolized by them, and a soberer, ! steadier, and more industrious and law ! abiding class of population does not ex ist. They interfere with no one, mind j their own business, observe their religi ; ous ceremonies, and pursue their own ! peculiar enjoyments and indulgences. |We hope they may never leave us. | When they do, we shall begin to fear that we are giving over to ruin—that what a distinguished ex-Governor would call “the doom of Devergoil’ awaits us. If there is to be a Jerusalem, let Rich mond be tlie place,” Terrible Accident—A Man of ; Nerve.— The Aurora Herald says : On Friday afternoon of last week, a voting man named Reuben Covalt, em ployed in the car manufacturing estab lishment of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad shops in tins city, mot with a most frightful accident,, which nearly terminated his life. A belt con necting wijh the main shaft had become separated, tlie broken portion revolving upon the shaft. Young Cavolt imme diately volunteeted to ascend a ladder and disconnect the fragment of belt, and in attempting to.looscn tethe beit wrap ped around Ids right arm, drawing it over the shaft, and entirely severing bis arm between the elbow and shoulder. — In this operation it was only by almost superhuman exertion that he was pre vented from being drawn entirely through the narrow space above by bracing bis left arm against the upper floor, in which event lie would most certainly have been killed. As it was, he maintained his position for a minute until the machinery was stopped, when young Covalt coolly descended the lad der, examined his mangled lioulder; and was afterward borne by his fellow workmen to the office of Dr Abner Hard, on Broadway, where re-amputa tion was performed. He was at last j accounts cloiug well. T-£l J ‘ The Memphis Avalanche lias what is called a “ scathing letter” ad dre sed to Brownlow. The author might just as well address a “scathing letter” to bis Satanic majesty the devil, for all the good it will do. —[Lynchburg Republican. President David nncl tlie Federal Spies, Webster and Donnelly. From a communication of the Rev. John Dj Keiley, published in the Pe tersburg Index of yesterday, we make the following extracts —Webster a native of Kentucky, was hung at Camp Lee in 1802, and it has never been de nied that he was a spy in the pay of tire authorities at Washington. His osten sible business in Richmond was block ade-running and carrying letters to anil fro across the lines. Tt was his practice to submit all letters entrusted to him to the Federal authorities. Mr. Iveiley says of him : The first time I ever saw him was on the occasion of my visit to Parke. He was heavily ironed, looking greatly dis tressed and anxious, and at first seemed unwilling to give me his confidence. 1 thought bis hesitancy may have been caused by the sentinel in bis cell, who was pacing the floor with his gun at fixed bayonet on his shoulder. 1 get this sentinel removed for a while, and, after a little talk, Webster told me the most favorable side of his case, men tioned many tilings which it might be unjust to the living to reveal at present; and, upon the whole made a rather favorable impression on my mind. It ought to be mentioned here, that a long-continued course of visitation of prisons and prisoners had developed a kind of (lower; —half feeling, half thought, by which the shadowings of truth and falsehood, in their statements, were received l was convinced from some evidence afforded me by Webster, that there were many mitigating cir cumstances in his case. That convic tion was imparted and in a measure partaken of 'by the authorities. The execution was put off. I obtained a passport to go through our lines to Stafford and Louden comi ties, to collect the evidence necessary to verify Webster’s statements. Un fortunately, I could not get through the Federal lines; but the poor fellow was reprieved from time to time and Jt was only when I had to give up all hope of getting to his home that he was executed. Our people wondered why this execution was put off from time to time. Hero is the secret. This was one of the few occasions in my life in which it seemed tome desirable to be long to that muddle-headed class, the money-lovers and the moneyshavers. If I had had money, then I could have man aged to have gotten through the lines, and might have been the ins'rument of saving this man’s life. The authorities gave me every opportunity. No more so than our beloved President. I have no doubt now—l had none then —that Webster was, in a good measure, guilty as charged; but the shocking stearness and ramrodism which characterize court martial excluded, in effect, every modi fying peculiarity that lessened the onus of crime. I had a voluminous lot of paper about Webster, which was my purpose to place in the bands of Bis friends at the close of the war; but, alas ! the vandals tore them up and scattered them, along with my other things, on the 3d of April, 1865. Yet I do not greatly blame these wicked, because foolish men. Tlieir buisniess was ruin. Os Donnelly Mr. Keiley says : This young man, a native of New York, but recently'from New Orleans, was sentenced to be shot as a Federal spy. In my visit to the jail, be crouch ed off in a corner, and seemed desirous of eluding me, but at last 1 got him to tell me the particulars of his case, which > were so favorable, that if properly sub ! staiUiated I felt certain that he would be pardoned. I got a good-hearted man, Mr. Heath, who now keeps a grocery store up Halifax street, to go to a station on the Norfolk railroad and get me the affidavit of a magistrate and liis wife, in the immediate vicinity ot rhe Federal lines, ftmeliing the materi al points in this cast', and had them laid with a personal explanation, before General Cooper, who promised me that the case would be attended to. I had previously tried all efforts with the au | thorities here in vain. On a'Sunday ! morning, on visiting the jail 1 learned | with dismay, that an officer had been there a few minutes before, and had j read the death warrant ot the prisoner, 1 who was to be shot next morning at i the Fair Grounds. Before going to i the church I sent this dispatch to the ! President: “A man is going to be | shot here to morrow, as a spy, who is innocent—Please forbid it.” J. D. Keiley. I received a message shortly after, saying that Donnely shall not be shot to-morrow nor any other day, by order of Jeff. Davis. On applying at the office of the com manding general here, 1 learned that they bad received a dispatch forbidding the contemplated execution. In my anxiety and baste I had forgotten to mention the prisoner’s name hence the tenor of this dispatch. The affidavits were recovered and laid before the President, and in due time the prisoner was discharged. His aged and venera i Lie mother sent me afterwards letters | of thanks, and promises that she would j pray for me as long as she lived,- Precious beyond diamonds are these letters and prayers. The success attending these various efforts, and a great many others of like j kind, led me to blieve that the President j of the United States would give afa | vorable hearing to the case of one, who, in supreme power, was himself so ac cessablc toappeals oftliissort—one who unlike these partially guilty parties, was the idol of us all for his statliness puri ty of character, and his massive strength of intellect. I was not so successful as I hoped to be, on account of the unset tled state of the country. But I do not’by any fneans despair. The suc cess of our Northern brethren in their elections may soften their hearts, mid make them more willing to be merciful. There is so much of intransic deception in the mere nimbus of political parties, for the sake of • affecting the votes of the unintelligent and impulsive, that 1 have no doubt the medium portion of all parties in this Christian land, mean well and will try to do what is right. cur CD B.
