J®,Bumors arc rife that the President
will promptly veto the new reconstruction
act. Os course Congress will promptly pass
it over his head.
Jlgf-The report which was circulated a
short time since that Doctor Livingston, the
celebrated Africa# explorer, had been killed,
is contradicted. Late intelligence of him says
he is alive and well. #
BjJKThe Augusta Loyal Georgian saysthat
there is a “Union Republican Club” in that
city, which numbers four hundred white and
sixteen hundred colored voters, and that it in
tends to rule tire city. Foster Blcdgctt, mi l ,
itary mayor of the city, is President of the
club. It appears to be a secret league.
SiTAnr Tack.—Horace Maynard, the last
of the Narragansctts, was met by Col. C. R.
Cameron, at Jackson, Tenn., on Monday
last. Maynard undertook, says the Browns
ville Guidon, to repeat the contemptible fab
rication that Jefferson Davis was captured
in petticoats, but was promptly halted by
Cameron, who told him that ihe story was a
lie, and that he was a liar in repeating it.
Fillibustering.—The Washington cor
respondent of the New York Herald, sends
to that journal the full details of a plot to
overrun Mexico, \#ieh he has recently dis
covered. He states that the movement was
gotten up at the White House, .and, of course
the President and Secretary Seward are the
chief manipulators.
$55“ A writer in the National Intelligent
ccr truthfully says : “Even ill ancient history
we have no account where the slaves of a
conquered people were elevated and put to
rule the conquered.” The writer adds with
regard to a small class in the South who call
themselves men : “We can respect a man
that we believe conscientious in bis views,
let him be ever so great an .extremist ; but a
man that licks the hand that smites him when
he is on his back, is about as low do vu as
human nature can get to be.”
Important, —Several of our lady acquain_
tances, who have read of the extensive man.
ufacture of odometers which tell how far a
carriage had been run, say they wish some
genius would invent iau instrument to tell
how far city husbands have been in tbc even
ing when they just step down to the post of
fice, the barber’s shop, or the Lodge to con
fer a degree. Not that they are suspected
of anything wrong, but just for the fun of
the tiling.
&ST - A Western paper in answer to the
inquiry, “What lias become of the Govern
ment of the United States?” says : “Why,
sir, do you forget history so soon ? The Gov
ernment was shot in a private box ol a
theater on a Good Friday night, more than
two years ago. It is as dead ns a herring.”
B@“°peaking of negro suffrage in the
South, Gen. Butler, in liis impeachment
speech ill New York, said : “Universal, im
partial suffrage, allied to universal ignorance,
will only add to our danger; giving to the
masses the club of Hercules, to be wielded
with the strength of the blind Sampson, af.
ter he has been a Gave grinding in the house
of the Philistines.”
Day or Fasting, Humiliation and Pray
er.—Thu bishops of ihe Mct.iodist Episcopal
Church, South, in their recent pastoral ad
dress recommended that “ Friday, the ITt U
of August next, bo observed in ail die
churches as a day of fasting, humiliation and
prayer,” and, “wherever practicable, this
day be preceded by religious services, begun
on tho previous Sabbath, an l continuod day
by day until the Sabbath following.”
Tat War Clouds in Europe.—The New
Orleans German paper of July 11th, contains
the following dispatch from Berlin, which
gives a fair insight of Austria's feelings to
ward Mexico :
“ The king of Prussia has written to the
Emperor of Austria, promising to assist with
his army and fleet, in die contemplated inva
sion of Mexico. A circular note lias been
sent by the Emperor of Austria to the con
suls of tho different States in Germany, ask
in" assistance to revenge the death of Maxi
milian. It is hoped that the United States
will throw uo obstacles in tho way of the
Austrian object:”
Twins. —Within the last eight or nine
months, says the Southern Recorder, in Mil
ledgeville and vicinage, tliere has been no
less than eight pairs of twins born. Our cit

our war stricken country, and to reconstruct
their families upon a sure and patriotic basis, 1
for another war, whether foreign or domestic.
The followingannonymous jeu tl'esprit was
received by a friend of ours,well known in this
State, congratulating him upon his paternal
responsibilities ; our friend takes it kindly,
and says he likes the carrying-it-on, and I
hopes there will bo no cessation in the good
work.
Hon. Friend: Your many friends take
this method of congratulating you upon your
recenf expose of the most practical, popular
and decidedly natural plan for reconstruction,
that our desolated country can possibly adopt, j
All hail to yonr manly effort dear friend ! i
Prosperity awaits you and Posterity will 1
surely bless you. They who, like yourself, in
the darkrtets ol tbc hour, will redouble their

the hearts of the living to leap with joy, and
millions now unborn to revel in their patri- \

Tlie Freedman’s Bureau.
ENCOUNTER VITU GEORGIA WOMEN
THE BUREAU WHIPPED.
The following incident, related by
the Thomasville (Gn.) Enterprise of
the l‘2th inst, will serve to show both
the pluck of Southern women and
the outrages which even Si u’.l.eru la
dies have to stand at the hands of a
Radical Government.
The community of Fletcherville
was thrown into a state of excite
ment, on Saturday last, by an assault
upon white Indies, by soldiers attached
to the Freedman's Bureau.
The following are the facts stated
by a witness, as well as we can remem
ber them:
Mrs Gen. King notified a colored
woman living in a small house on her
premises, that she could no longer
remain there, on account of highly
improper conduct. The woman iirst
flew into a passion, made many
threats, and applied to tho Bureau
for protection. On her return she
found that Mrs. King had put her
tilings out of the house, and 1 1 ad also
discovered a bundle of her own miss
ing articles among the plunder.—
These proceedings enraged the woman
so much that she struck Mrs. King a
violent blow, but was deterred from
further violence by the resolution of
Miss Josie Cooper, niece to Mrs. King,
who was also present.
The woman now returned to Capt
White for the promised protection,
three and soon reappeared with
soldiers, armed and equipped as
tlie “ Bureau directs.” Besides Miss
Cooper, another niece of Mrs. King’s
was present, Mrs. Shcflall, Deter
mined that the woman should not be
redomieiliated on her premises, Mrs.
King and her two nieces stationed
themselves in the doorway, to prevent
tlie soldiers from returning the
woman’s tilings to tlic house.
One of the three soldiers, to the
honor of his manhood, refused to par
ticipate in violence to tlie women and
stood aloof; but the other two one a
corpora!, ordered tlie ladies to get out
of the way, and allow the things to be
returned to the house, threatening
to shoot them if they refused. The
ladies resolutely refused, however,
and defied their threats of violence.
The corporal now seized a heavy
trunk, and assisted by his companion,
an Irishman, attempted to rush
through the door, and thus prostrate
tlie ladies by the weight of tiie trunk,
and gain an entrance. Miss Cooper
was according! v prostrated and much
bruised by the trunk ; but the ladies
now, in their turn, seized the trunk,
and with their united strength, hurled
it back tlirough tho door, completely
everturniug tlie gallant corporal and
his brave comrade, who now occupied
a brilliant position flat on their backs
on tlie ground, heels in the air, anil in
turn, held down by the trunk. 'They
quickly scrambled out, however, and
the gallant corporal, satisfied with his
brilliant achievement, retired from tlie
coflict. Tlis comrade continued the
fight awhile longer and pulled Afiss
Cooper’s hair, struck her. twice, with
his eiintcl ed list, from tlie effects of
which, we are informed, she is still
suffering. Finding tlie ladies invin
cible, and true to the blood of their
family, these gallant representatives
of the U. iS. Army, withdrew to make
their report to headquarters.
Airs. King is a very old lady and i
almost helpless, while her two. nieces 1
are very small, delicate ladies. Mrs. |
King states that she wrote to the
agent of tlie Bureau in reference to
the conduct of tlie colored woman,
and requested her removal before the
difficulty occurred; but that, model
or wisdom, justice and dignity, did
not design to notice the request.—
When the colored woman, however,
applied for protection, three soldiers
were promptly sent to her aid.
After the difficulty occurred, Airs.
King also applied to the Bureau for
redress of grievances, but was sagely
informed that he had nothing to do
with it—‘‘she must seek redress in the
civil courts.”
When the Bureau desires to advance
the interests of Radicalism, it has
ample jurisdiction, though it perpe
trate a crime against the law ; but
should any unlucky Southern white
person seek redress for insults or
wrongs done under its orders, they
are blandly informed that the Bureau
lias no jurisdiction —that redress must
be sought in the civil courts. If the
Bureau bad no jurisdiction in Mrs.
King’s ease, why did it interfere at
all ?
That the ladies acted very iinpru
| dently in exposing themselves to such
j treatment there can be no doubt, for
; different treatment under the circum
stances could not bo expected; but
. the party who issued the orders, and
j not the soldiers who executed them,
are responsible for whatever wrong
I was done.
J Lot unprotected ladies hereafter
take warning, and not expect protec
tion from the agents of an institution
designed, not for the protection of
Southern white people, but for the
conversion of the blacks to Radical-1
ism.
Josh Billings says : “I never bet any j
stamps on the man who is always telling j
what he would have done if he had been !
there. I have noticed that this kind never
get there.”
We are told by philosophers that shut
ting the eyes make the hearing more j
acute —a fact that may account for nu-!
inerous closed eyes on Sundays.
Settiair Unconstitutional Oaths at
Defiance- f
Mr. John Junney, of Va., has made a'
hold move in the game of registration,which ;
is worth the study and consideration of the
disfranchised classes in every oilier State,— i
The Richmond Examiner thus explains Mr. j
Janney’s experiment and the motives leading
to it:
The case of that very able jniisl. Mr. John '
Janney, will arrest universal attention.— '
That gentleman has offered to register and ;
caused his name to lie placed upon the list of!
rejected voters, lie was the President of;
tlie Convention which passed the Virginia or-!
(finance of secession, and held many offices !
before the late civil war, which rendered it j
necessary for him to tike the oath to support!
the Constitution of the United States. He !
belongs to si vciaj of the classes who arc dis- ;
franchised by the Military bill, but he has of j
fen dto register. 11c lias done this because ,
lie doubtless regards the oaths imposed by a j
grossly unconstitutional act, as utterly tniga- ]
tory, and laughs at the idea of perjury being
committed by those who so treat them. j
All of these test oaths# as our readers very
well know, are the vilest of rubbish, if the
Supreme Court declares the Military Act
unconstitutional- Ami, although tiiat de
cision may come too late to prevent a great
wrong, who questions that the decision of t he
Supreme Court will be adverse to tlie Milita
ry bill? Let it also he remembered that,
in tho only instance in which these oaths,
prescribed by Congress have been passed up
on by tlie Supreme Court, they have been
pronounced utterly null arwl toid.
Mr. Janney has therefore pursued a course
which shows that lie is not intimidated by
menaces of a prosecution fir perjury. He
treats tlie penalties pronounced by Congress
as mere scarecrows, and (brows upon tlie
registers the onus of rejecting his offer to
register.
He lias thus placed himself in a position
to have his right passed upon by a compe
tent tribunal, and there can he no question
as to tlie great wisdom of his course.
Tlie example of a man of pluck and nerve
at a time like this, is of priceless value to all
classes of men. Than Mr. Janney, tliere is
no mere profound constitutional lawyer in the
State, and he boldly claims to register, and
challenges prosecution, because he shows how
weak the Government is in the matter of the
‘ tost oath.”
Fiendish Slaughter of a Whole Fam
ily by Negroes.
The Newborn Republican, a firm sup
porter of Congress, in its issue of July
2d, relates the following circumstances
of a cold-blooded and fiendish murder of
a whole family in Jones county, North
Carolina, a few days previous:
Intelligence reached our city on Sat- I
urday morning of tlie murder, of Mr.
Richard Rci ves Foscue and wife, at j
their residence on Island Creek, in Jones
county. It appears .that on Friday three
colored men came on the premises and
demanded money of tlie ladies in the
house, which was occupied tit the time
by Mr. Foscuc ar.d wife, their two
daught rsana two grand-children. Fail
ing to get money from the ladies, they
took Miss F'uscue, Airs. Owen Witly and
the two children to tlie smoke-house and
there shot them. Airs. Owen AYitty, j
Mr. Fescue’s daughter, and an infant
chil.l of Airs. AYitty’a, were killed in
stantly, while Miss Foscue was slightly
wounded and left by the murders, they
evidently thinking her dead. Miss Fos
cue will no doubt recover from her inju
ries.
A grandchild of Mr. Fescue’s, the
child of Air. Alartin ,Brock, was shot
while in Airs. Foscue’s arms, and died a
few hours afterwards from the injury.— ]
After murdering the ladies it seems the J
murders tied Mr. Foscue to a post near
his smoke-house, where they stripped;
him of clothing, cruelly and horribly beat
j him, and finally killed him by striking
him on the head with a maul. The
wretches then proceeded to the house and
completed their horrid work by murder
ing Mrs. Foscuc. They then ransacked
the house where they obtained a small
amount of money after which they left.
As-soon as the murders were gone Alisa
Foscue with difficulty got out, of the
smoke-house, and taking the Brock
child with her, made her way to a neigh
bor’s house. The military authorities
arc in search of the fiendish murderers.
Squeezing a Gal’s Hand.— The
Pike county lil.] Democrat is responsi
ble for the following:
At a dance the other night not a thou
sand miles from Pittsfield, two chaps got
mighty struck with the same gal. She
not willing to show special favor to eith
or, declined dancing and seated herself
in the back part of the room. Beings
chilly, the fair maiden wore a large
and one of her admirers concluded to slip
his hand under the shawl and try what
effect squeezing her hand would have—
Ho went for it and succeeded. Ltftl!
how happy he was. lie felt galorious all
over. After quite a joyful time spent
in thisway, the lady threw hack her
shawl 1 and revealed to a crowd standing
near,our two youths squeezing one anoth
er’s hands most lovingly. P dont do to
say squeeze to either of them since.

Fruit Preserving.
Fruit for preserving should be gathered j
when fully ripe; it is not enough to gather j
it just before it is quite ripe, ns at that time!
tlie amount of acid is at its maximum, and '
it consequently ri quires n larger proportion of
sugar to cover the sourness.
in cases where the fruit is gathered as re
quired, it.is exceedingly desirable that it
should he picked during dry weather; at
that tiqie there is less mqwture iu the fruit,
and consequently less has to be got rid of
hv boiling.
! The vessels employed should not bo made
of copper or brass, Unless they are well
1 tinned, as both of these substances are noted
I oil by the acid of fruits, ami preserves allow
| ed to stand in then: become poisonous,
i Bell metal is made of tin w ith a small por
; lion of copper, and is much Ic.ss affected by
I the acid of vegetables ; but still it is better
| and safer to have even bell metal vessels tin
' lied.
j The bean ideal of a preserving pan is one
| which is silvered Jhsitle.
; ’flic enameled puns are cleanly; hut the
■ high temperature necessary to be employed,
! causes the enamel to crack, and then the iron
! below is exposed, and being acted upon by
| tho Vegetable acid, the preserve acquire an
I irony or inky tase and a bad color
| For the preserves made in private families
! the small wliitJputs arc the most convenient
■ and the cleanest. Their small size js an a<l-
I vantage ; for, once opened, the jam is used
: immediately, and docs not spoil by exposure
j to the air.
I For tying down the pots many personsn.se
| bladder or animal membrane, but it isexpen
l sivc. and in some places difficult to obtain,
j Egged paper is a perfectly efficient substi
: tutc. To make this, take some stout, tough,
I flexible paper, and having beaten up some
I white of an egg with a whisk, apply it with
! a brush to one side. When used this paper
I should be damped on Ihe unglazed side, in and
! down over the pots and then, when dry,brush?
| ed over with beaten white of egg on the outer
I side. This makes the paper into a kind of
j parchment impervious to tlie air, and the
| preserves will keep as if tied over w ith any
: animal membrane.
| Rtispbe) ry Jam. —Let. the raspberries be
i thoroughly ripe. Mash them with a wooden
spoon. To every pound of raspberries add
j a poundof sifted sugar. Boil this well to
gether during half an hour, stirring it con
tinually, lest it. should burn. When of a
good thickness, put it into pots, and proceed
as before directed.
Strawberry Jam. —Put the fruit into ajar,
and stand this in a pan of boiling water over
| the fire. As the boiling proceeds, keep mash
ing the strawberries with a Wooden spatula,
j until they are all bruised to a pulp. Then
I put them into a preserving pan, and to every
| pound add three quarters of a pound of sn
-1 gar. Bail the whole uniilofdne consistence
; which will occupy more than half an hour;
I keeping the jam in constant agitation, lest
I the bottom should burn. When done enough
; take it off the tire and put in pots.
j Peach Jam. — This confection should be
made of the cling stone peach in preference,
it being more juicy and of a higher flavor,
than the other kind of peach, the stone of
j which separates from the pulp. Treat the
I peaches exactly in the manner directed for
i apricots, using the same quantity of sugar.
Nectarine Jam. — Pare, stone, ar.d cut the
; nectarines, and prepare the juice in tlie tnan
| ner directed for the apricot jam. To every
j ounce of the kernels add two bitter almonds,
! and, instead of pounding, cut t ’x in into small
j bits and mix them with the jam over the
| lire. In other respects proceed as already
indicated.
| Apple Jam. —The apple, which should be
i ripe, and of the best eating sort, being pared
and quartered, are put into a pan with just
enough water to cover them, and boil until
j they can be reduced to a mash. Then for
! each pound of the pared apples, a pound of
I sifted sugar is added, being sprinkled over
tiie boiling mixture. Boil and stir it well
until reduced to a jam. Then put itjinto pot3

The Printer. The following
beautiful tribute to tho followers of
tlie “stick and rule ’ is from the pen
gif B. F. Taylor, of the Chicago JEven
\ ing Journal:
1 The printer is tho adjutant of
thought, and this explains the mystery
, of the wonderful word that can kindle
! a hope as no song can ; that can warm
; a heart as no hope can ; that word
i‘ \ve” villi'hand-in-hand warmth in
j it—for the author and the printers are
; engineers together. Engineers, in
! deed ! When the little Corsicon bom
| burned Cadiz, at the distance of five
j miles, it was deemed the very triumph
of engineering. But what is that
I range to this, whereby they bombard
the ages yet to be ?
There at the ‘‘case’’ he stands and
marshals into lino the forces armed
! for truth, clothed in immortality and
i English. And what can be nobler
i than that equipment of a thought in
! sterling Saxon—Saxon with a spear or
Pshield therein, and that commission-
I ing it when wc arc dead, to move
grandly on to “ the last syllable of
recorded time.” This is to win a victo
ry from death, for this has no dying
in it.
Tlie printer is called a laborer, and
tho office he performs is toil. Oh, it
is not work but a sublime life lie is
performing, when ho tints sights tho
engine that is to fling a word in
grander curve than missile e’er before
described ; fling it into the bosom of
an age unborn. He throws off his
coat indeed ; we but wonder the rathe
er, that lie does not • put his shoes
from off his feet, for the place where
he stands is holy ground.
A little song was uttered some
where long ago ; it wandered through
the twilight feebler than a star ; it
died upon the ear. But the printer
takes it up where it was lying there
in the silence like a wounded bird, and
then sends it forth from the ark, that
had preserved it, and it flies on into
the future with the olive-branch of
peace, and around the world with
melody, like the dawning of a spring
morning.

Maxmilian gave Mir am on the centre,

Juarez refuses to deliver Maximili
an’s body, saving it is a subject of
treaty stipulation. Great antipathy
exists towards Americans because
they asked that the Emperor might be
spared. The Princess Palm-Salm de
vised a way for the Emperor’s escape,
but she was betrayed by an officer to
whom the plan was confided, and who
took a bribe of 25,000 in diamonds.
She was ordered to leave Queretaro

A fight is probable between Cortin*

On account of continued rains for

' Our Newly-Made Voters.
A correspondent writes to a Radical
paper: .
To-day 1 was at the Registrar's
office, where 1 learned that over one
thousand names had been recorded.
While I was there a squad of colored
tnen were called in and the usual doe
; uments read to them. One of the
minuter was then called up to the
desk :
‘AYhat is your name, sir ?”
“Sicily Johnson.”
“llow do you spell your first name?”
“Don’t know, massa.”
“Where were you born ?”
“Don’t know, massa.”
“How old are you ?■”
“I ’specks I’so about forty years,
massa.”
“How do you know that ?”
“Bekasc de man on de step told me
lie ’specks Esc forty, and I ’specks so
too.”
(He was certainly over sixty.)
“(’an you read-or write ?”
“No, massa.”
“Whore do you live ?”
“Down here on the bin,’’ (bayou.)
The candidate for citizenship was
1 directed to hold up his right hand,
when the oath was administered, in
response to which he constantly re -
peated. “Yes, massa, yes massa.”
The Clerk then said :
“Can you repeat me anything that
I have said to you ?
“No, massa.”
The applicant for registration then
made his mark, received his certificate
and departed a “citizen.”
Was it for this, asks the LaCrosse
Democrat, that a half million men fill
' bloody graves, and 200,000 cripples
| wander about the North ? Is it for
i this that you and your children are
i made the bondmen of taxation, the

THE SURRATT TRIAL.
j Washington, July 16.—A largo
i amount of evidence offered by the de-
I fence to-day was thrown put. Ste
phen F. Cameron, Chaplain to the
[ Confederate-Maryland regiment, testi
fied, contradicting in important re
respects Dr. McMillen, surgeon of
the ship on which Surratt crossed. It
appears from Cameron’s evidence that
the t omniission by which the lives of
I several of the St. Alban’s raiders were,
j saved were dated hack. Evidence
showing Surratt’s business in Rich-
was excluded.
■Lewis J. Garland testified that
YTOcliniah told him lie was troubled
ablit his evidence ; that if" he had
j be«i left alone it would have been
| be«i different With Mrs. Surratt.
•' James G. Gifford heard an officer
iv to Wciehinan that unless he swore
to more he would hang him.
The actor Mathews, gave testimony
regarding Booth’s letter, similar to
that before the Judiciary Committee.
~lloiiniiiLn Outrage.—We learn
that last Tuesday, on or*near the line
dividing Richmond and Burke coun
ities, just above Mcßean station, an
I outrageous act was perpetrated by a
j brace of fiendish freedmen upon the
person of two ladies and one mulatto
; girl. It appears from the statement
I made to us, that the ladies were ri
j ding in a buggy, when the two dea-
I moiis incarnate halted them, went tin
to the vehicle, forcibly dragged them
from their seats, and ravished them
| both ! After committing this mons
j trous atrocity, the infamous sconn
j drels met a young colored girl, whom
they subjected to the same revolting
ordeal. We learn the girl died the
next day from the effect of the
brutal violence visited upon her. Not
satisfied with the damnable record
| they had just made, they fired at a
j small boy whom they had met on
| their route, without, fortunately, in
juring him.
The alarm being given several
gentlemen started in hot pursuit.
The criminals, apprehensive, doubt
less, of being followed up, and fearful
jof being overtaken if they remained
, longer together, separated. The par
jD' got on the track of one of them
I and chased him to Briar Creek swamp,
near the railroad bridge, (about three
miles above this village,) when he
darted into an interminable thicket,
and soon disappeared. Having lost
all traces of him, further pursuit was
abandoned.
We heard it reported, but do not
I know how .true it is, that several fire
arms were leveled at the fugitive du
ring the race, but all failed to explode.
God grant that they may be arrest
ed soon, and brought to a punishment
| commensurate with the dark crime
they have perpetrated in defiance of
law, social order and decency. — Way

Good Enough for Others. — The
late Republican State convention of Penn
| sylvania refused to pass a resolution en
dorsing negro suffrage and recommend
ing the people of that ancient Common
wealth to adopt it. Such a resolution was
offered, but it was sent to a committee
Sand there smothered. The New York
j Tribune denounced the proceeding as a
cowardly dodge and shuffle. The Penn
sylvania Republicans, while ready to
make voters of the negroes in the South,
| have no notion of putting blacks on a par
with themselves, at home, in Pennsylva
nia. The negro is well enough as the
equal of other people, but not so well
when it is proposed to make him the
equal of the white man in Pennyslvauia.
