A Leaf from Life.
The Louisville Courier introduces the i
nltioinod poem, as follows : Some ten or i
tvvi Ue years ago there appeared in the j
//<„..« ./ournat ot Messrs. Morris A Willis,
a little poem that struck us at the time by
the oraeeful thought that gave it birth,
and the elegant finish of its rhyme. The!
other day we Ibund it floating about un
nrodited and unclaimed. Jl we are not
mi-taken, it is the offspring of Fred. S.
<'o/z*'u’s dainty fancy.
I lent my love a book one day ;
she brought it back ; f laid it by ;
’Twin little either had to say—
She was so strange and I so shy.
But yet we loved indifferent things--
The sprouting buds, the birds in tune—
And Time stood still and wreathed bis
wings
With rosy links from June to June.
I’or her, what task to do or dare ?
What peril tempt? what hardship bear?
But with her ah! she never knew
My heart, and what was hidden there !
And she, with me, so cold and coy,
Seemed a little maid bereft of sense ;
Bui in the crowd, all life and joy,
And full of bluslifill impudence.
She married—well—a woman needs
A mate, her life and love to share—
And little earns sprang up like weeds,
And played around her elbow chair.
And years rolled by—blit I, content,
Ti imme | my one lump and kept It
bright,
Till age s touch my hair besprent
With rays and gleams of silver light.
And then it chanced, I took the book
Which she peru-ed in days gone by ;
And as I read,such a passion shook
My soul i needs must curse or cry.
For, hero ami there her love was writ,
In old, half-faded pencil signs,
As if she yielded bit by bit —
I h r heart in dots and underlines.
Ah ! silvered fool ! 100 late you look !
I know it; let me here record

Crop Prospects, &c.
Mcßean, Richmond Cos., Ga., )
June 20th, 1807. j
Editors Chronicle Sentinel:
Gentlemen : Since my last communi
cation to your valuable paper there lias
been a marked improvement in the condi
tion of tlic growing crops in this locality.
The heavy and continuous showers of the
past week have forced the grass to a con
siderable extent, and the planters are em
ploying their whole force in getting their
cotton clean. Upland corn is looking ad
mirably, and the prospects for a large
yield are exceedingly flattering Mr. VV.
8. Noll, a leading planter of this vicinity,
informed me yesterday that his family had
been luxuriating on roasted ears for sever
al days past; lie is ahead of his neighbors
on the corn question, and I might say the
same as regards his cotton, and not go far
amiss. The storm which swept through
here on Sunday last, did considerable dam
age by washing cotton, blowing down corn,
fences, and injuring the melon crop; it was
quite severe and was of about half an hour’s
duration. The river swamp planters are
doing finely, and if they are not disturbed
by high water, will make an immense corn
crop. Some fears were entertained yesterday
that the water would be over the banks,
but 1 see by your river report, this A.
M., that the water is falling at Augusta.
The wheat and oat crops in this seetjon
yielded handsomely, nearly all of it having
been cut and housed before the late rains.
Peaches are beginning to ripen. I saw some
very fine ones yesterday from the orchard
of ’Mr. George Mixon, iu Burke county.
Reports from Burke county are very en
couraging as regards cotton and corn.
The board of registration meets at
Mcßcan, July Ist and 2d; so saith a large
notice posted up on the door of the P. O.
The frequent reminders in your columns
calling upon every “white man” (who is
not disfranchised) to register, have had
a good eflect in this locality, for many
ivlio had made up their minds to neither
register or vote have reconsidered tho
matter and have concluded to do both.
There is no doubt but that it is the im
perative duty of every white man to try
and balance the scales against the Radi
cals, Will notify you as to the results of
registration, if the board will favor me
with the numbers, &c. Me Bio ax.
Letter from Louisville.
Louisville, Ga., June 22,1807.
Dear Chronicle .-—Perhaps it might not
be uninteresting to some of your numerous
readers to learn the condition of the crops
in the northwestern portion of our county.
Having occasion to visit the aforesaid sec
tion on Friday last for the purpose of at
tending the School Examination of Key.
M. I’. Cain, our eyes were greeted on
either side of the road with large fields of
corn and cotton, growing luxuriantly, the
corn, particularly, looking finer than [have
ever seen it at this season, King “Grass''
having been dethroned before the rains of
the week past set in. All with whom
I have conversed upon ihe subject concur
in the opinion that cotton is farther ad
vanced than it has been at this season for
a number of years. I saw blooms ten days
ago from the place of Dr. Mann, and one
gentleman informs me that he has seen
several bolls. ,
The wheat crop, which is now being
gathered, has, in most instances, exceeded
the most sanguine expectations of the
planter, the rust and smut having injured
it but very little; so, upon the whole, the
prospect of bread for another year is, at
present, very flattering.
In alluding to Mr. Cain’s Examination,
1 must say 1 was agreeably disappointed at
finding his school so far in advance of other
country schools. His pupils seemed to
master tlie most difficult studies with as
much case as they would the ordinary spell
ing book. The music department, under
the (supervision of Mrs. Cain, has certainly
been ably presided over, if we are to judge
from the performance of her pupils, which
was excellent. After the examination of
the classes, dinner came next in order, the
quantity of which was amply sufficient to
satisfy the most ravenous appetite; and as
to the quality of which the most fastidious
epicure could not have taken exception.
Dinner being over, we were favored with
a prize declamation by the boys : and the
reading of some most beautifully written
compositions by the young ladies, the last
of which (the Valedictory) was delivered
by Miss Nellie Little, in a most impressive
and beautiful style. At the conclusion oi
which Thomas Hardeman, Esq., addressed
the school in an eloquent h«J very appro
priate speech, prepared for the oti'asion.
The exercises ot'the school will commence
again after six or eight weeks vacation.
Yours, Ac., Observer.

It is reported that as soon as Marquez
learned ol the >ale and delivery of Qucre
taro by Lopez, he opened documents left
with him by Maximilian; amongst thru; he
foundotie in which he abdicated in favor of
young Iturbide. Marquez immediately
proclaimed Iturbide Emperor, under the
regency of the Empress Cariotta. He also
arrested thirty of the most notable Libe
rals. whom he imprisoned as hostages for
the lives of Maximilian and companions.
No authoritative denial of the Empe
ror'sproclamation, publishedlast week, and
it is still believed to lie genuine.
It is stated that Maximilian's counsel
had been refused a request for thirty days'
time to prepare, and that he had been sen
tenced. It was also rumored that he had
been executed, but nothing authoritative
to this effect.
Oltvera, imperial, would only surrender
at Queretaro upon honorable terms —
the terms of capitulation being that the
State bo surrendered in accordance with
the established laws and usages of nations.
Martinez. Liberal General. for agreeing
to these terms, was placed in arrest, and
arms and munitions restored to Olivera.
W'hat was to follow is not stated. Maximo
Campos was not shot, as stated, hut
murdered while lying dangerously wound
ed in the hospital at Queretaro.
By last mail it is reported that Marquez
had commenced executing the hostages,
and had shot two—names not given.
The death of Mendez is confirmed.
All foreign prisoners are en route to
Monterey, numbering four or five thorn
-and Austrians. Belgians and French.
Another Homicide. —Jo. lleeves and
Austin Baily were engaged in hoeing corn
on the evening of the l'Jth inst.. upon the
farm of John Duggan, Esq. They had
some dispute in reference to their work.
Baily struck at Reeves with his hoe. but
failed to hit him, whereupon Beeves struck
Baily with his hoe, killing him almost in-
I stantly. They were brothers-in-law.
! Beeves, we understand, has been commit
‘ ted to jail.— Central Georgian.
Query ?— A correspondent asks: “Does I
the election for or against a Convention
include the election for delegates at the
same time, or will separate elections be
held ?”
There will be but one election. Th(?
Supplementary Bill provides that register
ed voters shall write the names of candi
dates for said Convention on one side and
on the reverse the words “for a Conven
tion ’ or “against a Convention.”
Paragraph 3, of the Supplementary Bill,
provides:
"That at said election, the registered
voters of each .State shall vote for or
against a Convention to form a Constitu
tion therefor, under this act. Those
voting in favor of such a Convention shall
have written or printed on their ballots by
which they vote for delegates as aforesaid,
the words “For a Convention. Those
voting against such Convention, shall have
written or printed on each ballot the words
‘Against a Convention.'
Arrival of Emigrants.— We learn
from the Savannah News & Herald of the
2oth that among the passengers yesterday
by the steamship Herman Livingston,
from New York, were a large number of
families from Glasgow, Scotland, tn route
to Columbus, Georgia, where they are to
be employed in the new cotton mills now
erected. The men are fine, athletic-look
ing mechanics, and are just fresh from the
machine shops and cotton factories of
Great Britain. They are said to be work
men of the highest order, and will, no
doubt, prove acceptable iu their new vo
cations in the manufactories of Columbus,
which bids fair to become one of the
i largest manufacturing cities in the South.
The Florida and Cuba Telegraph.
—Our Savannah cotemporariescontain the
particulars of the construction of this im
portant link in the lightning chain which
places the principal cities and towns in the
“Land of Flowers” in communication
with the “outside world.” This line was
constructed under the superintendence of
that indefatigable and efficient Division
Superintendent, Mr. John A. Brenner,
of this city, whom we congratulate upon
the success of this important work.
From the Savannah Advertiser we learn
that “the line from Savannah to Lake
City, Florida, is under the control of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
and was built under the supervision of Mr.
John A. Brenner, the Superintendent of
this Division. With a force of fifty hands,
he loaded, distributed and set five thousand
four hundred poles, with their insulation-,
and strung two hundred and three miles
of wire, all in forty-seven working days,
without deducting for bad weather or time
lost in moving gangs and camps.
“On one day the wire gang put up six
teen miles, which is believed to be the
largest day’s work ever yet done in this
country. Indeed, when it is considered
that much of the line runs through swamps
and low grounds saturated with the heavy
rains of the season, we think the entire
line has been put in working order in a
shorter time, considering the force em
ployed, than on any other in the country'
reflecting great credit on the energy of
Mr. Brenner.
“At Lake City this line connects with
that of tho International Telegraph Com
pany, running to Punta Rosas, from
whence in a few days a cable will be laid
to connect with Key West and Havana.
“We learn that, until the cable is laid,
steamers will ply between Punta Rosas
and Key West, thus giving telegraphic
communication with that city.”
A Band of Robbers in Barnwell
District, 8. C.—An old and highly re
spectable citizen of South Carolina desires
us to direct the attention of the authori
ties, both civil and military, to the fact
that there is a lawless band of ruffians,
consisting of three white men and some
four or more negroes,‘within the belt of
country defined by Lower Three Runs,
Kaolin, Horse Creek’Swamps and the
Savannah River, crossing occasionally into
Scriven and Burke counties, Georgia. The
leader of this band is supposed to be Bolin,
for whose apprehension a reward has been
offered by Governor Orr, of South Caro
lina (as will be seen by reference to our
advertising columns), for having committed
“an atrocious murder and robbery on the
body of James Johnson, at Station 110
South Carolina Railroad.” The second
of this white trio is said to be a man by
the name of Shepherd—a deserter from
the Federal army. The third seems to be
an unknown stranger. The negroes seem
to be employed chiefly in gaining informa
tion aud in securing spoils. These law
less ruffians are the occasion of alarm to
the good people of Beech Island hy the
depredadonsand threatsofvengeance which
are in circulation against such as attempt
to enter complaints or to discover their
whereabouts.
The different civil and military jurisdic
tions seems to have produced some dis
trust.
From the Charleston Courier we learn
that the cable from Florida to Cuba is
completed and has been shipped from
England. In less than a month, as is ex
pected, the line will be in working order.
The United States coast survey steamer,
Thomas Corwin , recently completed
soundings on the proposed route, and
found everything favorable. The India Rub
ber, Gutta Percha and Telegraph Works
in London contract not only to construct
the cable, but tolay it down, and guarantee
its successful operation for fifteen days.
The cable has been fully tested, and its
insulation is pronounced remarkably good.
The construction is considered an improve
ment on any previously made. The rates
charged will be ten dollars for the lirst
twenty words, including the address
and signature. The Company has re
ceived exclusive grants to connect the
West Indies with tjie United States for
fourteen years; to connect all lines through
the Mexican Gulf with Florida for twenty
years, and exclusive grants from Spain to
connect Cuba with Spain for forty years.
Progressing. —The survey of the Sa
vannah iii;d Memphis Railroad is pro
gressing, and it is thought will be com
pleted by the middle of July. The people
along the line are said to be much elated,
and Lately give the right of way.
Gen. Cole, wliu w&optly killed Hiscock,
in Albany, for seducing his wife, com

The True Method the Study’ of
the Languages. —A report «*. the study
of languages, made to the Association of
New England Colleges by President Hill
of Cambridge, mG Indorsed by President
Woolsey of Yale and President Sears of
Brown, contains suggestions woituy the
attention of all teachers of classics. Hav
ing discu-ged the objects and advantages
ot classical study. J)r. Hill says :
The tools or instrunugits used in learning
a lauguage arc usually a mueiial of gram”
mar, a book of exercises in reading.and
writing, .a dictionary, and a work written
in the tosgee. These works are put into
the learner’s hsajs in the order in which
they are here named, hut this is almost a
complete inversion of the true order of
study. Grammar is an analysis of the
usages of a language, and cannot be profit
ably and intelligently studied without
some previous familiarity with those
usages. Reading ought, therefore, to
precede the study of grammar, and the
study of grammar be entered upon gradu
ally, only as last as the needs of the read
ing require it. The boy fitting for college
should learn only so much of the grammar
as may be required to enable him to con
strue intelligently the books on which he
is to be examined : and this can be com
prised in a very few pages of paradigms
and rules. _ It would be hard to overstate
the mischief wrought by forcing children
to commit to memory several hundred
pages of Greek and Latin grammar before
they can read the simplest books written
in those tongues. A thorough analysis of
the syntactical arrangement and etymolog
ical forms of words actually found in read
ing is of vastly more intellectual value to
the beginner, than committing of rules to
memory can be ; and of more permanent
value, as the grammatical principles de
veloped in studying a passage in which the
pupil is interested are fastened in his
memory by a natural mnemonic aid.
Another very marked error in the mod
ern mode of reaching both modern and an
cient languages lies in assigning too much
time and too early a time to the writing of
exercises. The absurdity of writing sen
fences in a tongue before attaining a famil
iarity by reading or hearing native authors
with its usages and idioms is curiously il
lustrated in a recent serious attempt to
give the Portuguese in Brazil “anew
guide to English;” tho English having
been written by Portuguese und being
much less intelligible to an Englishman
than Portuguese itself. Writing exercises
in a tongue should be postponed until the
student is familiar with the style of several
native authors, has learned something of
the grammar, and has committed to mem
ory many passages in both poetry and
prose. No preparation for writing Latin
and Greek can be so good as the reading of
Cicero and Xenophon; and this is true not
only with reference to the study of the classic
authors. but it holds also ofa more tempora
ry prepara! ion. Thatis to say, ifa student is
compelled to write an exercise aud has a
reasonable time allowed in which to write
it, he will find it to his advantage to spend
the first half of that time in the rapid cur
sory reading of a classic author in the lan
guage, writing upon some similar topic.
The natural niode of learning anew
language ly a direct attack upon the works
of native authors, committing poems and
finer passages of prose to memory, and
endeavoring, by incessant comparisons
with the context, to elucidate the meaning
without the aid of the lexicon, not only
gives the pupil the ability to read the new
tongue in much less time than the gram
mar and exercise book manner, but it
furnishes a vastly better gymnastic lor the
mind, stimulates the pupil to more original
thought, and gives him greater confidence
and freedom. We trust that a reaction
has already begun, aud that we may soon
see the day return when classic writers of
Latin. Greek, German and French litera
ture will occupy more of the pupil’s time
while studying these languages than he
shall give to English or American writers
on grammar ; all the processes of learning
will then be easier, and all the uses of the
knowledge mere speedily obtained.
Notes on the Situation—No.
BY B. H. HILL.
The late civil war did not end by any
formal treaty of peace. The United States,
though recognizing, by all the departments
of their Federal Government, the Confeder
ate States as a belligerent party, would not
recognize the right of making a treaty by
their enemy lest a sort of separation or in
dependence should be implied.
We must, therefore, look to the grounds
of difference which brought on the con
fiict; to the declaration by the United
States of the purposes of the war as made
at the beginning and during the progress
of the war, and to the conditions or stipu
lations of surrender, for the terms of peace,
and the consequent rights of the victor and
the obligations of the vanquished. For we
must admit that the doctrines of the issue,
as insisted upon liy the United States, and.
the purposes and demands of the United
States in making and carrying on the war,
and the terms of surrender, were agreed to
by us in the act of surrender, and, there
fore, make the law of the peace for both
parties—being thus demanded by one party
rnd conceded by the other.*
The Southern'States insisted:
1. That the Federal Constitution was a
compact, to which the States were parties
as separate and independent States, and,
therefore, were parties with the right, by
virtue of their separate sovereignty, of
withdrawal from the compact when, in ’he
judgment of the State withdrawing, her
interest or safety required withdrawal.
2. That the administration of the com
mon government by a sectional party—
sectional because organized on principles
of avowed hostility to a right of property
held by the citizens of the Southern States
and recognized in the Constitution—would
endanger the interest and safety of such
States; and, therefore, justified the exer
cise of the right claimed to withdraw.
Many in the South believed this right to
withdraw would be conceded by the party
then coming into power in the United
States, and that, therefore, the secession
would be peaceable. They were encour
aged to believe this; because this doctrine,
though now and for years advocated at the
South, did really originate in New England
and first caine as a threat from that quarter
of the Union; because, also, many of the
prominent organs and leaders of the new
party did concede the right, aud some de
clared if the Southern States chose to ex
ercise it, they should do so in peace.
But this impression proved to be a very
fatal mistake; audit is very- certain that
the United States, and every department
of their government, in the beginning and
throughout the duration of the struggle,
and until after the final surrender, did deny,
in every official form, both the right of
withdrawal, the validity of the attempt to
withdraw, as well as the sufficiency of the
case made to justify the attempt.
Thus the right of a State to withdraw
from the Union became the great, leading
question of difference between the parties
to the conflict, as made by all the official
records, and was the main question to be
decided by the conflict. The South insist
ed the Union was dissolved ; the North de
nied it; they joined in battle to decide the
question. Now let us see the official proof
that this was the original issue .
In Mr. Lincoln’s first Inaugural Address
we find the following language:—“lt fol
lows from these views that no State,
“upon its own mere motion, can lawfully
“get out of the Union; that resolves and
‘■ordinances to that effect are legally' void.' ’
* * * “I, therefore, consider that, in
“view of the Constitution and the laws, the
“Union is unbroken, and, to the extent of
“my ability, I shall take care, as the Con
stitution itself expressly enjoins upon me,
“that the laws of the Union shall he faith
fully executed in all the States."
Here, two things are plainly asserted by
the Executive power of the United States:
1. That the Union is not and cannot he
broken by the separate States; and 2. That
this doctrine shall he maintained.
In July, IStil, the Congress of the United
States, with almost entire unanimity, re
soved
“That this war is not waged, on out
part, in any spirit of oppression , nor for any
purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor
purpose of overthrowing or interfering with
the rights Or established institutions of the
States; but to defend and maintain the
supremacy of the Constitution, and to pre
serve the Union, with ail the dignity,
equality and rights of the several States
unimpaired; ami, as soon as these objects
are accomplished, the war ought to cease.”
Now, let .its analyze this resolution and
we find that it asserts three very distinct
propositions:
1. It declares what is not the purpose of
the war; It is not “in a spirit of oppres
sion, nor for any purpose of conquest or
subjugation.
-. It declares what is the purpose of the
war; “To defend and maintain the Consti
tution, and to preserve the Union, with all
the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States unimpaired .”
3. It declares when the war shall cease;
“As soon as these phiects arc accomplished
the war ought to cease;” that is, as soon as
the Constitution is maintained and the
L nion preserved with the dignity,’equality
and rights tjie states unimpaired, the
war ought to cease.
Ten days afterward the Congress again
declared, on motion of a New England
Radical, their “ fixed determination to
maintain the suppremacy of the Govern
ment. and the integrity of the Union of all
these l nited States." .And, with the
single exception of Mr. Breckinridge, this
resolution was unanimous in the Senate.
Quotations of like character could be
multiplied until there should be no end of
the books that should be written, but these
which I have made are so clear, so explicit,
so official, and make the single purpose of
the war on the part of the United States so
distinct, fluit I could not make it more ex
plicit by a thousand additional proofs.
That single purpose, at that time, was to
defeat the validity of secession and preserve
the Union of all the States.
Now, I have conceded, and here repeat,
that either party, during the struggle, may
increase his demands, or enlarge his pur
poses in waging the war ; and these addi
tional demands or purposes being pro
claimed and made known to the other
party before the surrender, while “Lis men
and arms remain," may be claimed as
among the results decided by the war.
and as making part ot the terms of peace.
Such demands, it is true, must he reason
able, and such purposes must be within
the laws of war. For instance, either par
tv, within the time prescribed, may de
mand the removal of the cause of the war
so that it may not produce a renewal of the
conflict: or, in ease of an unjust war or of
unnecessary or unreasonable prolongation
ot the struggle, may demand the expenses
ot the war; or, in ease of rebellion, may
msist on excepting from the amnesty the
authors oi the disturbance to be brought
to legal trial; or if a cruel and barbarous
nation were to give distinct notice to ;
rebels that they must expect no quarters:
that they must consider, in case of surren
der, that their lives or property or both
are forfeited, the world might be shocked
and humanity made ashamed; but the
rebels ought not to complain, for in that
case they are notified they must submit to
the declared will ot the conqueror, and
ought to fight to extermination. But as
such demands are unusually cruel, they
ought to be made known before the sur
render, with unusual distinctness, lest the
weaker party, relying on the law of na
ture and humanity, to save something by
not fighting to extermination, should be
entrapped into a surrender which aeeorn-.
plishes what they intended by surrender
ing, to escape.
I repeat, the only demand made by the
I nited States in the begining was, that the
people of the Confederate States should
“lay down their arms, retire to their homes
and obey the laws,” because thereby the
United States sought to accomplish the
only purpose of the war, to-wit. The de
feat of secession and the preservation of
the Union.
The question is, did the United States,
during the war and before the surrender,
make other demands or avow additional
purposes and make them known to the
Confederates?
I have been unable to find any other,
and believe no other man is able to find
any other, legitimate or official demands or
declared purposes.
I find many individual threats, and I
find also acts of confiscation, suspension of
hoi teas corpus and such like acts, but then
they are declared to he, what indeed their
make them, war measures —to
end with the war, and to make no part ot the
terms or law of peace. They were adopt
ed as means to accomplish the one great
original purpose, to force us to lay down
our arms, and thus preserve the Union. —
Mr. Lincoln did promise a liberal exercise
of the pardoning power, from which it may
be claimed to imply that ho would except
some from the amnesty, but he could only
except them for a legal trial, and I sup
pose even Mr. Lincoln did not doubt the
result of a fair legal trial, unless of some
one who made war on the United States
before the secession of his State. For
though the result of the war did decide
that secession was void, yet, as intent is
the essence of crime, it did not and could
not decide, that, one who honestly be
lieved that secession was legal, was hound
to know it was vobl before the decision made
it so. And, though the result establishes
that secession is and was and must remain
void ; yet “he who honestly believed, at
the time, that secession was either a Con
stitutional or revolutionary right, or that
his allegiance was due to his State when
secession was asserted, or who believed
the coercion of a State was a crime, could
not become a criminal by acting on his
honest belief. But if a man, before the
secession of his State, made war on the
United States by seizing her forts or other
wise; or, if while holding an office under
an oath to support the Constitution of the
United States, he used the functions of
that very office, by overt acts, to destroy
the Union, such a man was a traitor and
might, with some show of reason, have
been excepted from the amnesty and re
served for trial. 1 think, however, true
wisdom and a peaceful future required
entire amnesty for all the past, and careful
abstinence from all oppressive acts in all the
future.
During the war, Mr. Lincoln, as Presi
dent of the United States, issued liis proc
lamation, emancipating slaves in certain
States and parts of States. But this, itself,
was declared to be a war measure only. —
the Congress had proposed to
the States an amendment to the Constitu
tion, abolishing slavery everywhere. But
the States had not ratified it. It was,
therefore, only a proposition undetermined
at the time of the surrender. After the
surrender the slave States accepted and
ratified this proposed amendment, and thus,
by the act of the slave States after the
surrender, this amendment became a por
tion of the Constitution. Therefore, the
abolition of slavery may, in fact, though
not in legal strictness, ho counted as one of
the things decided by the war, and as
being part of the law of peace. It is a
noticeable fact, also, that although Mr.
Lincoln included the acceptance of eman
cipation as part of tho terms at the confer
ence in Hampton Roads, yet neither he
nor Gen. Grant, nor any other power,
alluded to this as part of the terms during
the negotiations for, nor at the time of the
acceptance of, the surrender. The only
conditions of tho surrender were to submit
to the laws, and not take up arms again
against the United States.
YVhat, then, did tho war decide, and
. what, by that decision, is the law of peace?
Here it is, and here is all:
Secession is void; the Constitution is
maintained; the Union is preserved, with
all the dignity, equality and rights of the
several States unimpaired, with the single
exception of the abolition of slavery through
the consent of the original slave States.
And when our people, after the surren
der, took an oath to support the Constitu
tion of the United States and the union of
the States thereunder , they swore to sup
port the above decision, and nothing more.
The meeting of the Conventions in these
States, to conform their Constitutions and
laws to the change brought by the aboli
tion of slavery, was proper, and a result of
the agreement to emancipate. The ap
pointment of provisional civil officers by
the President to enable these Conventions
to be called and to act, was proper ma
chinery to accomplish the end. Further
than this no reconstruction was ever need
ed or was legal or proper. But for the ab
olition of slavery the States would have
been restored to their oid Constitutions
and government, as they existed at the
time of secession.
Every proposition in these Military Bills
has been originated since the war; not one
of them was demanded during the war,
or was made a condition of the surrender.
There is not a respectable.publicist or law
writer, ancient or modern, heathen or
Christian, which can be quoted to sustain
them.
By every such author the attempt to
prescribe new terms after the surrender is
infamous —i- a breach of the peace ;is a
new declaration of war, and is a most per
fidious abandonment of the most sacred of
national obligations in the face of man
kind.
Nay, more; these Military Bills are dis
union bills. Those who propose them are
disunionists: those who advocate them are
disunionists; those who consent to or ac
cept them are disuniouists. And they are
disunionists. too. not, like the secessionists,
on a principle—asserting a simply doubtful
right; but they are disunionists in the teeth
of the very deci Jon of the war itself: and
disunionists who do not seek to accom
plish their ends in an open, manly way.
'but who destroy the Unitm under pretence
of preserving it; who trample on the Con- i
stitution underoath tosnpportit; who con
tinue the war after resistance has ceased ;
who fight an unarmed people, and not their
own impoverished victims.
Note.—The reader will observe that I
do not claim the doctrines and purposes
of the Confederate States as constitutin';
any of the terms of the peace. These were
all defeated in the tight and were aban
doned bv the surrender. The official dec
clarations and purposes of the United
States, as avowed before the surrender,
were the terms to which the Confederate
States agreed to submit by the surrender,
and with which the L nited States are
bound to be thus, they- form
the law of peace. Y'et, a Georgian, one
boasting of the honors conferred on him
bvthe people, in a late speech at Milledge
ville, tells us we are out of the Union ac
cording to our own position ! “When we
surrendered, after a gallant fight, we were,
upon our own declaration, a conquered
foreign State—subject to the will of the
conqueror!'’ as though that very surren
der did not defeat our declaration, and
makegood the declaration of theconqueror
that our secession was void, and that we
were not and should not be out of the Union
as a foreign State. One of i '>ur own teach
ers, who tells us his childre.l are to live,
among us, making, in the sani e breath, o»w
will and the will of the enem.' - alike in
law, if, by such contradictory p. Viilions , he
can harm us in both cases Sue h l>er lidy
is surpassed only by the slander that Mr.
Mr. Davis “made strong efforts to -get a
perpetual suspension of Habeas Corj ms,”
and by the bitterness which quotes the con
clusion of the petition for Habeas Corpus
—the mere formal conclusions of alb such
papers—as evidence of humiliation or in
consistency on the part of Mr. Davis! And
yet he exclaims, as if his motive was sus
pected and needed confirmation: “What
interest, then, can I have in misleading
you ?”
A great writer gives us an account of a
very similar speech which was made long
ago by one who had been “often honored;’’
and after quoting the speech, adds this
comment:
“So spake the false dissembler uuper
ceived;
For neither Man nor Angel can discern
. Hypocrisy, the only evil that walks
; Invisible, except to God alone.”
But that speaker himself afterward, in
a soliliquy, gave the explanation of all his
attempts at deception. ’ He said:
"But what will not ambition and revenge
I Descend to ? Who aspires must down as
I low
! As high he soar'd; obnoxious, first or last,
| To basest things.”

A Positive Relief
FOB NEURALGIA, RHEUMATISM, AND
niiALTZED LIMBS.
TN THE SPRING OF 1849, I HIS
JL COVERED a remedy for the above diseases, which
cured me nf them in the space of two months, which I had
had for five years from the end of my tor s to the top of my
head. I tried the remedy on myself last Fall for a paralytic
stroke which I received in the Spring of IS6O, which affected
my left side somuen that I could not work a toe or finger on
that side, and, in the space ofthree months, it relieved me so
much that I could walk three miles any day, and, by catching
a limb, could draw up my whole weight, 175 lbs., with my
left arm. My general health is fully restored. 1 now offer
my services, apd t he remedy, to those afflicted with the above
diseases, oi* the following terms: If they will come to this
place, tliey can have |py services and remedy for five dollars
per day. and if it does not relieve them as it has me, they can
have thorn for nothing. j. E. MADDOX,

Reparator Capilß.
Throw away your false frizzes, your switches, your wig
Destructive of comfort, and not worth a tig ;
Come aged, come youthful, come ugly and lair.
And rejoice in your own luxuriant hair.
REPARATOR CAPILI.I
EM)R RESTORING HAIR UPON
JL bald heads (from whatever cause it may have fallen
out), and forcing a growth of hair upon the face, it has no
equal. It will force the beard to grow upon the smoothest
face in from five to eight weeks, or hulr upon bald heads in
from two to three months. .A few ignorant practitioners have
asserted that there is nothing that will force or hasten the
growth of the hair oi beard. Their assertions are false, as
thousands of living witnesses (from their own experien je), can
bear witness. But many will say, how are we to distinguish
the genuine from the spurious ? It/certaiuly is difficult, as
nine-tenths of the different preparations advertised for the
Lair and beard are entirely worthless, and you may have
already thrown away large amounts in their purchase. To
such we would say, try the Reparator Cappllli; It will cost
you nothing unless it fully uon.es up to oqr representations.
If vour Druggist does not keep it, send us one dollar, and we
will forward it, postpaid, together with a receipt for the
money, which will be returned you on application, providing
entire satisfaction is not given. Address
