WBMIMAI MORNING, MARCH 21.
Military Commaniier ok the Third
District.—“ General John D. Pope,” f, a ys
one of our Alabama exchanges, “has al
ways borne the reputation of a clever
gentleman of conservative views; and we
believe that his appointment to the m.li
tarv command of this District will lx, a
source of great relief to the people.
“General Pope was born in Illinois about

Searching FOR the Mexican Govern
ment. -.Minister Campbell has returned
to New Orleans, where ho contemplates
making the necessary arrangements fora
renewal of the search for the itinerant gov
ernment of the Mexican Republic. On the
first llai-h of intelligence announcing the
whereabouts of Juarez, Minister Campbell
will enter Mexico in pursuit of what lias
thus far proved to him un ignis fatuus. It
is. to bo hoped thal he will meet with let
ter success this time, and be able to give
us a more satisfactory report of his mission.
‘ The Hear Opened and Closed
ada in.”— The Hanlons are about the most
sLiilfui gymnastic performers we ever saw,
but there ure some editors in Georgia who
can beat them “all hollow.”
Hie paper that kept the rear of the (Lite
City open, closed it up a sow week* since,
with a spread eagie fiourisli of trumpets
about standing by the greatest living de
fender of the Constitution until the “last
plunk, was broken to pieces,” and then the
paper in question was to be in the last
ditch with tlio rear closed up. But “a
change lias come over the spirit of our
dreams 1 in the brief space of a few days,
and the aforesaid paper fell from its high
sounding adjectives, again opened it* rear
for the Sherman, Sliellabarger, and Ste
ven- programme, and is now giving “its
weighty and consistent support” to that
measure, having abandoned the “great
defender ol the Constitution, whom it was
goingtoHiistain through fire, and -*—
water. But, alas !we livo in a New JCra.
“'Gil consistency thou art a jewel !”
A New Use for Calomel. —The
Charleston Ncw» says: “Under this head
wo see in a large number of our exchanges
• hat a gentleman in Saratoga county, New
V ork, has lately ‘doctored’ a sickly apple
tree, with most excellent results, by boring
a hole in the body of the tree and inserting
a fuw grains of calomel into it, and we no
tice it because this same experiment we
saw performed in our city, some twenty
five years e go, by the late K. W. Bonne
theau, Esq., on an unhealthy peaeh tree,
which recovered, and afterwards bore most
excellent fruit. .Mr. 15., who at that time
was much devoted to horticulture, en
deavored to impress upon his friends the
use of this medicine as a most effective
one on diseased fruit trees.
Convicted.—We learn that the two
young men, George and Henry Maunders,
of t'lmrle.ston, who killed George Myers,
near Blackwell last November, were found
guilty of manslaughter ill the present ses
sion of (he Barnwell Court, Judge Aldrich
presiding.
’Revival ok Helioion at Nashville.
-A religious revival, described a* the
most extensive ever witnessed in Nash
ville, lias been in progress there for the last
three weeks. In that time one hundred and
thirty persons have joined tlio First Pres
byterian Church,.'Dr. Bunting’s, and scores
to tin: other churches ofthat city.
A New Vork Editor Cominu South
to Lech re.—A correpondont of the
ill obile Advertiser <1- Keg inter writes :
Mr. Mullaly, of the Metropolitan Re
eon I, intends to start for the South about
the liOth of March, for the purpose of de
livering lectures in aid of the destitute,
lie will first visit Savannah, aud will travel
thence to the principal cities, delivering
one or two lectures in each, lie has re
ceived invitations front the cities which he
intends to visit, and, though not yet in-,
vited to Mohiie, may take that city iti his
route. Mr. Mullaly has delivered some
very interesting lectures in this city, and
1 think 1 ntay promise that his lectures
will be ii:i well received in the South as his
paper is. He • speaks as lie writes—
vigorously and earnestly.
A lI.UTV Woman! —llow beautifully
true is the following little waif floating
about on the sea of literature. Young
lady, ponder it well! Make thyself “a
happy woman,” for verily such an one is
klie “very sparkle and sunshine of life” :
“A happy woman! is not she the very
sparkle and sunshine of life? A woman
who is happy because she can’t help it—
whose smile oven the coldest sprinkle of
misfortune cannot dampen. Alen make a
terrible mistake when they marry for
beauty, for talent, or for style; the sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic secret
of being contented under any eireumstanccs.
Rich or poor, high or low, it makes no dif
ference; the bright little fountain of joy
bubbles up just as musically in their
hearts.”
Mr. Thaddeus Stevens’ confiscation pro
ject meets scant favor among the extremists
of Itis party. The Chicago Tribune, one
of the most vigorous and unyielding of
Hadical journals, has taken strong ground
against it, declaring that it is entitled to
no encouragement, and that the Western
people do not desire and will not tolerate
it. The same tone pervades the comments
of nearly the entire Republican Press on
the subject. The idea of vindictiveness
and spoliation is repudiated as at variance
with the policy and repugnant to the feel
ings of the North. This ground was taken
while yet the decision of Congress on the
reconstruction question was unknown; and
assuredly it will not be abandoned now that
the work of reconstruction has been begun
under circumstances which promise satis
factory results.
Tut: Colin Freight Question. —The
Columbus Enquirer returns to the subject,
and says in vindication of its iormer re
marks:
We perceive that the Superintendent of
the Georgia Railroad advertises that the
total charge on corn transported from Bal
timore to Atlanta, via Charleston and Au
gusta, thirty-five cents per bushel. This
goes to prove what we have been maintain
ing—that corn can now be delivered here
cheaper by way of Savannah than by way
of Nashville aiid Atlanta. If the eastern
line can supply Atlanta cheaper than the'
other route, there can be no question as to
the cheapest route for Columbus. Not
only is the distance by rail less between
Savannah and Columbus than between
Charleston and Atlanta, but Atlanta is
1 o miles nearer to Nashville than Colum
bus is. It needs only liberal action on the
part of the ocean line between Baltimore
and Savannah, corresponding with that of
the Central, Southwestern and Muscogee
Railroads, to establish this trade at once.
Tin: Impending Kroon.— I This is the
title ol'a new paper published in Augusta,
Ha., the fifth number of which lias found
its way into our sanctum. Henry .1. Os
borne is editor, and Miss Lydia H. Baker
associate and medium. We’have done our
best to comprehend this sheet but have to \
give it up. We take it to l<e. however, a
spiritual concern. Our individual opinion
is that the editor is crazy. —Cutkbert Ap
peal.
Our brother of the Cuthbert Appeal is
certainly very dull or he would be able to
“ comprehend’ ’ the great truths which
the Ep Jt is endeavoring to graft upon the"
public mind of the country. The Epoch is
a "spiritual" paper, but not in the sense
implied in the Appear* comments. Its
spiritualism is after the order of the Misses
b ox, J udge Edmonds A Cos., of latter-day
saints.
Journalism in New York.— lt is said
that the number of newspapers published
in New York is 175. Fifteen of these are
dailies—morning or evening: thirteen are
printed in German: thirty are religious,
and the remaining one hundred and fifteen
are literary or political weeklies. The ma
jority are trashy concerns that do no good,
but probably do a great deal of harm.
There are also as many as 84 magazines
published in New York. Os these 84, it is
not probable that more than fifteen were
ever heard of a hundred miles from New
York. Many of them are issued by the
religious societies, and are little better than
tracts.
The Catholics arc going to build both a
chapel and a college at Oxford, England.
Reconstruction.
We learn that the Directors of th Cen
tral Railroad Company have a Corps of
Engineers now on the line of their road
engaged in efforts to shorten the distance
between Macon and Savannah, by a change
of its present location at several points east
ot the Oconee river. The first change pro
posed is to run a straight line from No.
One to or near No. Four and a half, cut
ting off the great bond which the present
track makes to the South, and which wa
originally adopted in order to reach and
follow the bed of the Ogeechee river. The
proposed change at this point will shorten
the road some six or eight miles, and give
to it nearly a straight line freui Savannah
for upwards of fifty miles.
Ihe next proposed change is to run a
line commencing near:No. Nine, and strik
ing the present road bed at or near the
Ogocchee bridge, about one hundred miles
from Savannah. The road is here shorten
ed three or four miles in a distance of some
ten or twelve.
At or about the 102 mil e po=t a line is
being run north of the present location
which will strike the old line a/airi near
No. 1 welve on Williamson Swamp. This
new line will shorten the road five or six
miles, and avoid the numerous bridges
over the illiatnson swamp creek, which
are now necessary to be kept up on the
present track.
These changes will reduce the length of
the whole line fourteen or fifteen miles,
and will secure a road-bed entirely free
from the danger of freshets in the < Igeeohee
River and William.son Swamp Creek, and
are located on the line as originally sur
veyed in the early conception of the enter
prise. ’1 he last Legislature amended their
charter so as to authorize the change, pro
vided the new lines are not located more
than rive miles from the present road-bed.
Ihe prospect of the completion, at no
very distant day, of the Brunswick and
Macon Hoad lias, no doubt, contributed
somewhat to these proposed changes, as it
is said the distance from Macon to Savan
nah, by the Macon &’Brunswiek, and the j
Savannah & Gulf Hoads, is eight
miles nearer than by the presdnt line of
the Central Hoad. The Macon & Bruns
wick Hoad has also the further advantage
of having a line of fewer curves, and a '
grade considerably less than that of the 1
Central Boad.
We note these changes as a significant
indication of the recuperative power of the
South when her interests are confided to
those of her people who arc disposed to
make the best they can out of the present
embarrassed condition of our affairs, in
stead of sitting idly down and grumbling
ovor lost fortunes.
The Columbia Meeting,
The character, tone and temper of the
recent negro meeting in Columbia seems
to have taken the Radicals by surprise,
and has been the occasion of no little flut
tering in their camp. They see now, for
the first time, what has been apparent to
the Southern public ever since the agita
tion of universal manhood-suffrage was
commenced, that the great mass of negro
votes will be given in iavor of their old
masters and friends. Already we find
ominous givings out from the extreme
Radicals in Congress, that in ease the ne
groes shall vote with tlio Southern people
in the reconstruction business, that tlio
duty will devolve upon Congress before
accepting the State Constitution, to be
formed under the Sherman Bill, “to in
quire whether the negroes have been sub
jected to undue influences in exercising the
elective franchise. 1 ’
Raymond, of the Times, is evidently de
lighted with the description of some of its
friends, and maliciously asks :
“Is not tlio Tribune a little premature in
its exultation over the fact that Wade
Hampton and other distinguished South
Carolina politicians address political meet
ings, without distinction of’ race or color, ;
side by; side with ;colored orators? Does I
not this foreshadow tlio possibility, at all j
events, that the colored vote may not al- I
ways be at the command of itinerant politi
cal missionaries from tlio Northern States?
It would cause disappointment in some j
quarters, certainly, if it should prove that,
in giving the suffrage to the negroes, Con
gress had only put an increased vote at
the command of tlio Southern ex-rebels.
Yet this ominous conjunction in South
Carolina looks a little like it.”
The New York Express is also pleased !
with this demonstration of fraternity and !
good feeling between the two races, and 1
says:
“These meetings are quite significant, !
ami the first one ought to put to shame the i
malign legislation of Congress. Imagine
Wade Hampton's ex-slaves, and we be
liovo there were 1,700 of them at one time,
sending a petition to Congress asking the
Senate and House to repeal tho law which
disfranchises their old masters I Wo ex
pect to see ttiat sight yet, and to read of
tlie Stevenses and Sumners moving to put
it upon the table. The negroes have it in
their power to put to shame those who,
while claiming to be their exclusive
friends, think it becoming to degrade men
of t heir own color.
“The spirit displayed at these two meet
ings is worthy of all praise. It is absolute
ly necessary to the good order of society,
and to the prosperity of tho South, that the
best relations should exist between the
two races, especially where the negroes
predominate, as they do in States like
South Carolina and Mississippi.”*
Stevens’ Confiscation Bill.
Asa matter of curious information, we
give to our readers the following* abstract
of the leading features of this favorite
bantling of the “old dragon:”
“It confiscates all the public lands be
longing to the ten rebel States, and all
the lands and other property forfeited by
the act of Congress of July 17, IS62—all
which is to be seized, condemned and sold.
Out of the proceeds each adult male freed
slave is to receive forty acres, and each one
who is • head of a family forty more. Out
of the balance a sum of fifty dollars for
each household is to be appropriated to
the erection of buildings for the use of the
late slaves ; —5200,000,000 is to be in
vested in United States six per ceut. bonds
and the interest added to the pensions of
Union soldiers, and $300,000,000 is to lie
appropriated to pay damages done to loyal
citizens by the civil or military government
of the rebel Confederacy, under which
clause Mr. Stevens would be reimbursed
for his property destroyed by the rebel in
vasion of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
The remaining sections of the bill pre
scribe the methods and machinery by
which it is to be carried into effect.”
The Jews and the Insurance C ompanies
or New York,
Mr. Alexander Stoddart, the General
Agent of the Underwriters’ Agency of
New York, is making efforts to induce
the Insurance Companies to withhold poli
cies from the Jews on the ground that
they are addicted to acts of incendiarism
•in order to secure high insurance policies
on the loss of property destroyed by their
own acts.
Some of the New York papers have
taken up the eudzels for the Jews, and are
bitter in their denunciations of this at
tempt to traduce and injure this class of
our fellow citizens. We quote the following,
which appeared in the lrihune of the 18th
instant :
“We wait the denouement of this
ridiculous farce with a good deal of inter
est. V, e really had quite forgotten the ,
Jews and thought that everybody else i

every day, that they are as alive as ever. |
™ m,i thln V Ues had changed their i
tactics a little, and were trying their baud i
on new subjects. The persecution of the
Jews is an old story , and we should have !•
been hardly more surprised to hoar that
people were refused policies for believiht

latum of the blood, than we were to hear i
of this eminently silly and unjust action
, of the Insurance Companies against the !
Jews. We may safely trust the laws of
, trade to bring these fatuous gentlemen to
) their senses, and as it is absurd to suppose
! that they can he reasoned or shamed out

which is sure to be made in time. We
trust, uiso, that the insurance companies

The Supplemental Bill In the Senate.
Washington. March 14.—Mr. Trum
bull caileu up the Supplementary Recon
struction Bill, and it was taken up and read
at length. The reading having been con
cluded.
Mr. Drake asked if the substitute recom
mended by the Judiciary Committee were
open to amendment.
Tiie chair said it was.
Mr. Drake said he had several amend
ment* to offer. The first was to insert as
the third section provision, that at the
election provided forin the preceding sec
tion. the registered voters of each State
shall vote on the question of holding a
State convention and forming a constitu
tion. Those in favor of the convention
shall have written or printed on their bal
lots, "Fora convention;” those opposed
shall have “Against a convention” written
or printed on their ballots. The persons
appointed to superintend the election shall
make returns of the votes for and against.
The Commanding General to whom the
same shall be returned shall ascertain the
total vote, and if a majority of the whole
number of these in any State shall have
voted lor such a convention, it shall be
held. If a majority shall have voted
against the convention, no such convention
shall be heM
Mr. Drake said he did not litre the pro
vi-ions of the bill, as reported, on this
subject. He did not think the individuals
elected as members of the convention
should have it in their power to make an
official expression of what they choose to
declare to be the wishes of the people, but
tliat the people themselves should, by their
votes, directly declare their wishes on
that subject.
Mr. Trumbull said the Judiciary Com
mittee had considered a proposition simi
lar to that now introduced by Mr. Drake,
but they had concluded that it was best as
now in the bill. Frauds were effectually
guarded against by the provision that the
constitution must be ratified by a majority
of the registered voters. He hoped that
the bill would lie passed as it came from
the Judiciary Committee. If many amend
ments were adopted it would bo incon
gruous.
Mr. Drake replied to Mr. Trumbull,
arguing the necessity for guarding the
Southern people against the possibility
of betrayal into the adoption of a constitu
tion against their wishes. The very men
who had misled these people during the
last six years were now ready to mislead
them again.
Mr. Frelinghuysen believed there was
sufficient security in the provision requir
ing the consent of a majority of the regis
tered voters to the formation of a con-titu
tion.
Mr. Howard hoped Mr. Drake's amend
ment would be adopted as a necessary pro
tection to getting a full expression of the
popular voice. The bill recently passed
holds out a proposition by aocepting which
the Southern States may be rehabilitated
and restored to their rights. He thought
it proper to bring the knowledge of these
terms to the whole people of the South,
and he knew of no better way of doing
this than by submitting to them the ques
tion whether they were willing to comply
with them.
Mr. Fessenden liked the proposition in
this bill which required a registration of
the .voters and secured the free exercise of
the right of voting to all who were entitled
to it. But he did not think it ought to be
made the duty of a commanding officer to
call a convention. That ought to be left to
the people. The President was denounced
lor thrusting upon the people of the South
constitutions to which they had not given
their assent. He did not think that men
who had called this usurpation in the
President should form the compulsory con
stitutions now. His mode would be to get
the registration first, and put it into the
hands of the Provisional Governor. When
the Provisional Governor expressed a de
sire to call a convention, then the Com
manding General should do what is re
quired of him to assemble it. He thought
it very essential that there should bo no
forcing the people into the formation of a
constitution, lie would wish them neither
to be forced into the Union again nor kept
out of it forcibly. The Union party had
agreed upon terms upon which they could
come back, and it ought to be left entire
ly to them to act of their own accord.
Mr. Morton was opposed to submitting
the question of convention or no convention
to the rebels at all in the beginning. If
two-thirds of the lawful voters of the South
were notin favor of the convention let them
stay at home, but let them not be able to
defeat the work of reconstruction. Let I
the convention be held and the constitu
tion formed. It is quite enough for them
to have a voice in the ratification of the
constitution after it is formed.
Mr. Howard contended for the right of
Congress, at such time and in such manner
as it saw fit, to restore the rebel States.
He was not in such a hurry to complete
this work, or to admit a State without a
clear and a fair expression of’the will of the
majority of its citizens. A minority gov
ernment could not exist in this coun
try, and if any State contained a majority
opposed to returning to the Union, he was
for keeping it out till doomsday, or until its
people repented in dust and ashes of their
crimes.
Mr. Stewart supported the bill as it came
from the Judiciary Committee, believing
it to meet all requirements and to need no
amendments.
Mr. Johnson did not believe the Gov
ernment could subsist long with ten States
out of the Union. It was the duty of
Congress to hasten the work of recon
struction on this account.
Mr. Drake’s amendment was disagreed
to:
Yeas—Messrs. Cameron, Chandler,
Drake, Ferry, Fessenden, Fowler, Harlan,
Howard, Ilowe, Morgan, Morrill of
M aine, Morrill of Vermont, Patterson, of
New Hampshire, Sumner, Thayer, Tipton,
and Wade—l 7.
Nats—Messrs. Anthony, Buckalcw,
Cole, Conkling, Conness, Corbett, Cragin,
Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Frelinghuysen,
Grimes, Henderson, Hendricks, Johnson,
.Morton, Patterson of Tennessee, Ramsay,
Ross, Sherman, Sprague, Stewart, Trum
bull, YanWinkle, Williams, Wilson and
Yates—27.
Mr. Drake moved to amend the fourth
section by adding the following proviso:
Provided , That no such constitution shall
be considered as entitling the State for
which it is framed to such representation
unless it provide that, at all elections for
State, county, or municipal officers, the
electors shall vote by closed ballot, and
such mode of voting shall never be changed
without the assent of Congress.
While Mr. Drake was advocating his
amendment he was interrupted by
Mr. Conkling, who inquired, suppose
they should adopt constitutions in which
they should insert this provision, and,
after their representatives arc admitted, on
the next occasion of revising their constitu
tion should strike out that provision and
substitute a provision ordaining viva voce
voting, what was 3lr. Drake or what was
Congress going to do about it.
Mr. Drake replied that if they form a
constitution with this provision in it. and
afterwards violate it, they will have violated
an express stipulation in their constitution,
and an express contract with this Govern
ment, and he [Mr. Drake], for one, would
be prepared to say that the State should
not have a Senator or Representative in
these halls as long as that violation existed.
Mr. Conkiing. That is, you would turn
them out.
Mr. Drake. Certainly, without a
moment’s hesitation.
Mr. Conkling had only to say that it
would be rather an awkward thing to do in
many respects. It would be especially
awkward, in view of the fact that the Su
preme Court had repeatedly decided—in
one case originating in Alabama, for in
stance —that any such contract would be
absolutely and utterly vcfld for all purposes.
After further colloquy on this subject,
Mr. Drake said that on reflection he was
strengthened in the belief he had expressed
on being first questioned, that Congress
would have a right to thrust out Senators
and Representatives under the circum
stauces mentioned by him. If the time
ever came to test the question, if we had
men of nerve in the Senate, they would
carry out this idea. He came from a
State where there were no conservative
Radicals. His was radical Radicalism, and
the people endorsed that kind of Radical
ism.
Mr. Trumbull, replying to Mr. Drake,
said he had not such an opinion of the
people, either North or South, as to deny
them an open ballot. To do so would be
to encourage fraud and ballot stuffing,
without securing any compensating good
for such an evil.
Mr. Fessenden preferred not to put such
provisions in this hill, but to leave all such
matters to be considered when the consti
tutions of these States are presented to
Congress for revision.
Mr. Conkling. having sent for a volume
of Howard s Reports, read from one of the
decisions to show that a condition exacted
as a condition of the admission of a State
ceased to have any binding effect when the
btate becomes sovereign and assumed its
functions as a member of the Union. He

ion. it it could be imbedded in the con

They had had fc some experience on this
subject in Massachusetts. The'.- parsed a

! -rtra of lhe people, and was
finally modified so as to tolerate, instead of
compelling, such a wav of voting He
thought the country would look upon this
as rather a narrow point to make, and as
. seeking an occasion for keeping the States
i out of the Union, rather than endeavoring
to get them back.
j Sir. Doolittle believed it to be unconsti
tutional to impose any such condition on a
future State. All such matters were left
i to the State by the Constitution.
Mr. Morton said he would vote for Air.
Drake’s amendment if the clause referring
to the future were omitted, and it provid
ed simply that voting by closed ballots
shall be provided for in the constitutions.
He believed it very important that the
voting should be by closed ballot, but he
doubted the right of Congress to impose a
condition of this kind which should be
binding in the future.
Air. Henderson spoke against the
amendment.
Air. Buckalcw thought the advantages
of voting by ballot were overestimated.
The oni;, result obtained by it was an op
portunity of canning people to deceive
others. It was idle to attempt to make
the employee independent of his employer
bv this means. It would afford no protec
tion. He objected to the attempt in this
manner to establish immutable principles
in constitutions. He believed it a wise
policy to subject constitutions to periodi
cal revisions and opportunities for reform.*
He Loped to see the day when votes would
be registered, and kept fbrexamination.
Mr. Corbett did not believe the amend
ment of Air. Drake would accomplish the
purpose for which it intended. He
spoke briefly against it.
At the conclusion of Air. Corbett’s re
marks. the Senate, pending the considera
tion of Air. Drake’s amendment, went into
executive session, and soon after adjourned.
The Reform Question.
JOHN BRIGHT ON THE DERBY RESOLU
TIONS.
On February 18th. the following letter
was read at a public meeting, held at
| Bradford, on the government reform reso
lutions, the Secretary of the Bradford
Branch of the National Reform Union
i having transmitted to Air. Bright, Lord
F. Cavendish and Air. Forster copies of a
j series of resolutions adopted by the Branch,
criticising the government reform :
Rochdale, February 10, 1867.
Dear Sir—l think your resolutions very
good. _ The course taken by the govern
ment is an insult to the House, and a gross
offence to the whole body of reformers in
the country. I cannotsay what the House
will do, or what the liberal party in the
House will do, till after the meeting, which
is called for Thursday uext.
The administration is bitterly hostile to
reform. When in opposition this was
abundantly proved, and it is confirmed by
its course since its accession to office, ft
has not the honesty or the courage to pro
nounce boldly against reform, but it seeks
to murder the cause and the question by a
course contrary to Parliamentary usage,
and odious in the sight of all honest men.
If the House join in the guilt of this pro
ceeding it will only add to the distrust
with which it is now regarded by vast mul
titudes of the people in all parts of the
country.
You are right in holding meetings, an and
in every town and village meetings should
be held. Already they have ’been held
more generally and more numerously at
tended than at any other time since 1832.
Hitherto the effect seems little, so far as
we may judge from the action of the ad-
ministration ; and whether further meet
ings will produce any greater effect, I can
not undertake to say. But I venture to
say this—that a government, unmindful of
the opinion expressed so clearly in the
great centres of our population, is running
the country in great peril. If meetings
have no effect, if the open and almost uni
versal expression of opinion has no power
on the administration and the legislature,
then inevitably the mind of the people will
seek other channels with a view to obtain
and secure the rights which are now con
temptuously denied them. If lam wrong
in believing this, then history is a lie front
the beginning, and we have ail been mis
taken in our estimate of the causes out of
which many of the great and deplorable
transactions it has recorded have sprung.
I understand that in Birmingham a
great demonstration of opinion is contem
plated, and I suppose other parts of the
country will have something to say to an
administration which abdicates its func
tions, and is ready to betray both Queen
and people, that it may remain in office
for another session.
I am, with great respect, yours truly,
John Bright.

The Exodus from Alexico.—The
Havana correspondent of the New Orleans
Times notices the arrival of a motly crowd
of refugees from Alexico—they being
people as varied in their complexions, de
meanor, features, castes and creeds, as one
could well expect from so many races and
professions as they represented. The
writer says:
For instance here was His Rev. the very
Archbishop of .Mexico, together with the
head cook of the Archduke Alaximilian,
Senors Ramirez, Robles, Peza and several
other ex-eouncillors, ex-ministers and ex
sycophants, mixed up with Alexican bull
fighters, fortune-tellers and professional
gamblers—Senor Escandon and other mil
lionaires, railway and land speculators,
agreeably discussing with leather and cord
age traffickers—ex-newspaper editors, cock
fighters and manufacturers of fancy wax
figures, holding animated discourse about
the glories of the defunct empire and the
approaching chaos. But all these having
arrived in a country which is not less ec
centric and original than the land which
they abandoned, our customs prove as
groat a novelty to them as theirs are to us,
and all proceed as agreeably as were the}'
in their own homes, while the language of
communication is one. "With very feiv ex
ceptions, they are, however, all going to
Europe.
A Debt of Six Thousand Millions.
—The present recognized national debt is
a little less than three thousand millions of
dollars. But the claims of loyal men,
North and South, for property 7 taken or
for property destroyed during the progress
of the war, have yet to bo allowed and
counted. The New York Times, whose
editor was a member of the last Congress,
says it has very good reason to believe that
the amount of such of these claims as will
be found to be perfectly just, and such as
must be paid, will approach very nearly, if
it does not equal, what is understood to be
the present aggregate of the national debt.
This may seem extravagant, as it certainly
is alarming;, but it is believed time will
show that it is not an over-statement of the
actual fact.
A Military Massacre in Mexico.—
One of the most terrible tragedies connect
ed with the wars of modern times, has just
transpired in Mexico. By order of Esco
bedo, who signs himself general-in-chief of
the army of the Republic of Mexico, one
hundred and twenty-three prisoners were
brutally murdered in cold blood. The
Ranchero, a Mexican journal, says ;
The order was executed on the 3d inst.,
at 7 o’clock in the evening ; or, rather the
execution of one hundred and twenty-three
prisoners was finished at that hour" One
by one the prisoners were shot, and each
bloody body was left as it fell for the next
victim in order to look upon. We are in
formed that but few of the doomed victims
faltered; and when marched out for execu
tion most of them sang the Marsellaise
hymn. We have been promised the full
particulars of this awful massacre, and
when received they wiil be laid before the
public in order to complete the black and
damning record.
After the execution at San Jacinto, Gen.
Escobedo ordered a ball at San Luis Potosi,
in honor of the victory achieved over Mira
mon. It was to have been the grandest
affair ever gotten up in that city. One
hundred and fifty ladies were invited, who
were of course the “ ton of the town. ”
When the hour came to commence the
dance, the heroes of tho San Jacinto mas
sacre found that but fifteen ladies had re-,
sponded to the invitation. And no more
than fifteen of those invited did attend that
night. From this it may be determined
what the women of Mexico think of the
murderers of those French and German
prisoners
For several days past we have had no
down train from Columbus, Ky., on the
Mobile and Ohio Railroad. The recent
heavy rains, we learn, have washed up the
road and trestle work in different places,
and it will, no doubt, be some days before
the damage can be repaired.— Columbus
Sentinel, 1 6th.
Mr. Prioleau, of Fraser, Trenholm A Cos.,
in the ease of the Alexandra, seized by the
United States Government, moved to get
security for damages as well as costs. The
court said there was some reason in the
application, but would not grant it, and
thought the United States would be suf
ficiently responsible. As there are four or
five wigs on a side, security for costs must
be a consolation.
The Natchez (Miss.) Courier compains
that beavers are in such numbers in that
neighborhood as to be quite a nuisance.
Yet numerous as they are few are ever
taken, for they are described as being too
sly to be shot, and too wary to be trapped.
The Aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner says
that there are more freedmen at work on
the farms of Monroe county than at any
period since the war. and there are iqore
acres “under the plow” than have been

From W asliington.— Veto of the Supple*
mental Bill.
W asiiingtOn, March 23. —The Presi
dent returned the Supplemental Bill with
his objections. The Bill provides for an
election in ten States for the purpose of
making constitutions; but all elections,
while the original bill remains in force,
come withiu its restrictions. Preliminary
to elections, comes registration. Unregis
tered citizens cannot vote. The prelimi
nary to registration is a vague oath, that
the applicant is not disfranchised by par
ticipation in the rebellion, which requires
that the applicant for registration must
decide for himself. There is a fearful re-
sponsibility, ior though the bill does pot
assign perjury, nor lisa penalty for mistak
en swearing, he must not forget that mar
shal law prevails, and that the applicant is
responsible to the Military Commisions,
without previous presentment by grand
juries, the military commanders deter
mining what is an offence and prescribing
the punishment. The fourth section pro
vides that the military commander shall
appoint the necessary Boards of Registra
tion, each consisting of three loyal persons,
who may be military officers or citizens of
the State, or strangers, exercising import
ant functions and vested with unlimited
discretion. They decide questions and
make returns. Whatever error or frauds
they commit pass unquestioned. By such
measures are conventions of dele
gates to be constituted. These dele
gates are to speak for the people;
common justice requires that they should
have authority from the people. No con
vention so constituted will, in any sense,
represent the wishes of the people, for
under all the embarrasing exceptions and
uncertainty which disfranchisement causes,
it leaves out the great body of the people
who may be excluded from the polls. I
do not deem it necessary to investigate
further the details of the Bill. No con
sideration could induce him (the President)
to. approve such an election law for any
purpose, especially for the purpose of form
ing a Constitution for a State. The Pres
ident argues the question at some length,
illustrating that the formation of Republi
can Governments, according to Congres
sional ideas, may as well commence in Ohio
or Pennsylvania as North Carolina.
The President concludes : I confidently
believe that the time will come when
these States will again occupy their true
positions in the Union. The barriers which
now seem so obstinate must yield to the
force of enlightened and just public opin
ion sooner or Jater ; unconstitutional and
oppressive legislation will be effaced from
the statute books when this shall have
been consummated. I pray God, that the
errors of the past may be forgotten, and
that once more we shall he a happy, united
and prosperous people, and that, at last,
after the bitter, eventful experience through
which the nation has passed, we shall all
come to know our only safety in the pres
ervation of the Federal Constitution, and,
in according to every American citizen
and every State the rights which that Con
stitution secures.

REVIEW OF TIIE AUGUSTA MARKET,
FOR THE WEEK ENDING MARCH 22D, ISG7.
{lt should be borne in mind that our
quotations represent wholesale prices. Small
bills, to Planters and others, are filled at a
shade higher rates.']
CO 11 OX. The market has been un
settled and prices irregular. During the
first part of the week the market took an
upward turn and advanced fully from one
to two cents, all qualities advancing—good
cottons most. Buyers were, however, re
luctant to conform to the demands of hold-
ers. This, coupled with the scarcity of
money, prevented large transactions, so
that the week’s operations were rather
limited. The unfavorable advices from
Xew York and Liverpool (especially the
latter) towards the close of tho week de
pressed the market so that very little was
done. The market closes dull and declin
ing at irregular quotations. Tho following
embraces the week’s business;
Saturday.— Wo have to report astill bet
ter feeling in the market to-day, with an
advance of a half to ono cent on yesterday’s
figures, but holders are reluctant to accede
to tho viows of buyers, which were rather
below 30 cents. Sales were more numer
ous than for some days past. We quote
Middling at 29, Strict Middling at 29}, and
Good Middlingat 30 cents; stained cottons
range from 22 to 2(5 cents. The sales were
260 bales, as follows:—2 at 27, 15 at 27}, 2at
28, 22 at 28}, 47 at 29, 50 at 29}, 15 at 29}, 101
at 30, and 6 bales of fancy chttonat3l cents.
Tho receipts amounted to 121 bales.
Monday. —We perceive no change in the
market since Saturday. From sales made
wo quote Middling to Strict Middling
about 30 cents; one sale of fine cotton was
made at 31 cts. The sales, which are larger
than Saturday, amounted to 305 bales, as
follows 4at 24, 7at 25, 2at 26,9 at 27, 3at
271, 24 at 28}, 2 at 29, 5 at 29}, 219 at 30, and
30 bales at 31 cents. Tho receipts were 43
bales. *
Note.—The following lots were sold late
on Saturday evening and not before re
ported : —2 at 28, and 24 bales at 30 cents.
Tuesday.— The market was quiet to
day and not so much activity was dis
played as on yesterday, but sales were
effected at yesterday’s figures. The sales
amounted to 343 bales, as follows;—1 at 23,
9 at 25}, 27 at 26, 13 at 27, 10 at 27}, 1 at 28,
50 at 29, 32 at 29}, 162 fit 30, 4 at 31, and 3
bales extra staple cotton at 32 cents, also
130 bales were sold on private terms. The
receipts were 47 bales.
Note.—There was a sale of 9 bales made
yesterday afternoon at 30 cents which was
not before reported.
Wednesday. —This market, sympathizing
with the Liverpool and New York mar
kets, was so unsettled that it is impossible
to give correct quotations. Sales were
made to-day on a basis of about 29 cents
for Strict Midtiling, and the market closed
dull and declining. The sales amounted
to 101 bales, as follows:—1 at 25, Sat 26, 9
at 27, 4 at 27}, 11 at 28, 35 at 28}, 33 at 29,
and 2 bales Zippora cotton at 32 cents,
also 55 bales on private terms. The re
ceipts were 142 bales.
Thursday.— We are still unable to give
any quotations, owing to the unsettled
condition and dullness of the market. Wo
can only refer to the sales, which aro very
limited, for prioos. Stained cotton sold at

the whole mixture is warranted to be pnre No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package of it to con'aln
the exact Ingredients and same proportions as the sample analysed by I'rof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we o.r o\ as

any crop. \ ery respectfully yours, CHARLES DI'II AM SHEPARD.
Know .0;, the composition, as well as judging from the analysis and report of Prof. Siiepasd, we are confident it wiil prove
to be an excellent Mantra and pay any planter handsomely who uses It judiciously. We would recommend the use of 170
to 200 pounds per acre for Cotton or Coni; SSO to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that It 1* applied the same as other Guanos—
under toe bed for Cotton, in the hill for Corn, and broadcast for Wheat. This Guauo is ready for use, all the lumps having
