The Valley of Dry Hone*.
r.v in 1; r*v. hr, < roly.
I w»s in the hand of 1><«1 ;
Borne the rushing gale
On a visioned mount I trod,
Dazing o'er a boundless vale—
Far as Iho eye could glance ’tv as spread
With tnc remnants of the dead.
•Sons of the Captivity,
Prince and peasant, warrior, slave,
There lay naked to the sky—
Twa* a ruined Nation’s grave;
lleatti sat on his loneliest throne
In that wilderness of bone.
Morn arose and twilight fell.
Still the hones lay bi< ached and bare :
Midnight brought the panther’s yell
Bounding through his human lair,
Till above the World of Clay
Ages seemed to wear away.
On my spirit came a aound
Like Hie gush of desert springs
Bursting o’er the burning ground—
“Prophetof the King of Kings,
Hhall not Israel live again ?
Shall not these dry bones be men !”
Then J stood and prophesied,
“i orue together, bone to bone.”
Sudden as tbe star my tide,
Thick as leave* by tempest strewn.
Heaving o’er the mighty vale,
Shook the remnants cold and pale 1
Flesh to flesh was clinging now;
There was seen the warrior limb,
There was seen the princely brow—
But the stately eye was dim ;
Mailed in steel, or robed in gold,
All was corpse-like, all was cold.
Then the voice was beard once more
“Prophet, call the winds of Heaven !”
As along the threshing floor
C'ball before the gale is driven,
At the blast, with shout and clang,
On their feet the myriads sprang!
Flashed to heaven the visioned shield,
Whirlwind-axe, and lightning-sword.
Crushing on a bloody field
Syria's chariot-, Egypt’s horde,
Till on Zion’s summit shone
Israel s angel-guarded Throne.
Then the Vision swept away;
Thunders rolled o’er Kartii and Heaven,
Like the thunders of that day
* |When Earth's pillars shall lie riven ;
Hear I not the rustling wings?
Art thou coming. King of Kings?
Two Rosebuds.
BY WM. BARTLETT.
The leaves of this old book enclose
The remnants of a withered rose
That outre was whiter than the snows.
It nestled in a maiden’s hair,
The choicest gem that she could wear,
So young, so happy, and so fair.
i, in a loving, childish way,
Hid cherish it, and fondly lay
It whore it still is sweet to-uay ;
That it should sanctify the place,
In memory brightened by the grace
That lingered on my playmates’ face ;
And kindle in my heart aglow
That years to come should seldom know,
A memory of the long ago !
But dreamed not that a future year
Should see another rosebud near
Tne one that long had slumbered here.
Vet now 1 plaee them side byside;
< hie with the slain of years is dyed;
From one the dew is scarcely dried.
She wore one in her childhood’s mirth;
And one to-day, when from her hearth
They bore her to the silent eat th.
Whalts Noble?
What is noble ? To inherit
Wealth, estate, and proud degree ?
There must be some other merit
Higher yet than these for me !
Something greater far must outer
Into life’s majestic span ;
Fitted to create and centre
True nobility in man !
What is noble ? ’Tie the finer
Portion of our mind snd heart,
Linked to something still diviner
Than mere language can impart ;
Ever prompting - ever seeing
Home improvement yet to plan ;
To uplift our follow-being,
And, like man, to feel for man !
What is noble ? Is the sabre
Nobler than the humble spade ?
There's a dignity in labor
Truer than o’er pomp arrayed !
He w: o seeks the mind's improvement,
Aids the world, In aiding mind ;
livery great, commanding movement
Serves not one—hut all mankind.
O’er the forge's heat and ashes,
o'er tlie engine’s iron head,
Where the rapid shuttle Hushes,
And the spindle whirls its thread;
There is labor lowly tending
Each requirement of the hour,
There is genius still ext, tiding
Mid thedust, and speed, and clamor,
Os the loom shed and tlio mill ;
'Midst the dank of wheel and hammer
tlrout results are growing slill 1
Though, too oft, by Fashion’s eroutures,
Work aud workers may lie blamed,
Commerce need not bide its features !
Industry is not ashamed.
What iH noble? That which places
Truth in its onlranohised will ;
Leaving steps, like angel ‘races,’
That mankind may follow still !
Even though scorn’s malignant glances
Prove him /wort */ of his clan,
He’s the nnhir —who advances
Freedom and the cause of man !
What W ill Susan Say I
BY E. M. sI’E.NCKit.
Two suitors came for Susan's hand,
Appealing to li«r sire ;
Hpokeof their loves and breadth of land,
Before a hickory lire ;
The old man heard them long and woll,
In his old fashioned way,
And looking where the ashes fell,
Thought, “What would Susan say?”
The one ho told of large estate,
Os Helds and acres wide,
Ami Susan was the bright-eyed mate
He would claim for his bride.
The old man eyed this suppliant vain,
With gems of brightest lay,
And looking in the lire again,
Thought, “What will Susan say ?”
His sinews showed no signs of Coil,
Nor ot the wealth acquired,
No proof that from the teeming soil
Or labor else attired;
“Wealth might take wings, and doing so
Might speedy fly away,”
And the old man gazing in the glow
Thought, “What will Susan say t”
The other had but his good heart,
The stout arm at his side,
Aud setting all things else apart,
Claimed Susan for his bride;
The old man (eared that these might tire,
idle was a life-long way.
And looking in the hickory fire,
Thought, "\\ hat will Susan say ?”
Yet there was work for all to do,
And more homes yet must grow.
And men should their own fortunes hew,
W bile struggling here below ;
He’d build the root above his head,
'Twas many a year away,
Thought of the dear wife long since dead*
And “What would Susan say f”
'file old man rublied his shriveled hands,
Audoouusef and the matter o’er,
The suitor with bis spacious lauds—
The other poor—no more;
lie dreamed tne years of love aback,
I.ong ere his IJ. ks were gray ;
Traced In the fire his weary track
And—“ What would Susan say?"
So Susan came aud stood beside
This sire of many years ;
She was his care and love and (wide,
For her his hopes and fears ;
And by ihe hearth upon whose stone
Her life grew bright and gav.
He took her baud, and in low tone,
Asked ; “What does Susan say ?’’
And Susan then, amid them ail,
Her suitors and her sire ;
There made her choice without recall,
As they gaged iu the fire ;
‘Twas for the one whose highest aiiu
Was but to work his way,
And the answer with a welcome came.

Letter from Judge Aldrich on Democ
racy in South Carolina.
Augusta, Ga , May 25, 1868.
My Dear Sir: When I read the pro
ceedings ot the Democratic Convention,
in Columbia, I remarked to one ol the
Delegates from Barnwell, that I thought
it particularly unfortunate ior us, that the
( invention had expressed any opinion on
the subject of negro suffrage. It is on
this very question that tbe Democracy
and Conservatives of the North will do
bat::e with the Radical revolutionary party
ti at ha * - .zed the government. To strike
out now from the j iatforni the last plank
upon which the party can stand, seems to
me the most impolitic thing that the Con
ventiou could have done. I cannot con
ceive of political equality without social
equality, the one is a sequence of tho
other. We must go iuto this fight with
the party banner that this is “ The White
-h m s Government. It is more import
ant to u- in the South than to the friends
of the Constitution in the North, and we
uot only weaken our cause, but give a
fatal blow to the cause of Constitutional
liberty, by yielding the principle.
I suppose no delegate will feel himself
bound by this declaration of the State Con
vention. I certainly would not. Ido not
expect to be able to attend the Democratic
Convention in New York, next July, al
though it would afford me great pleasure
to be able to do so, but I am too poor to
get away from home.
lours, truly and respectfully,
„ „ A. P. Aldrich.

The Renewal of Outrage and Intimida
tion.
Within ten days past the Military Gov
ernor of District No. 3 has endeavored to
put this immediate section of his unhappy
domain under mortal terror. Two white
men and two negroes of the original
parties who were arrested some weeks
since without cause and discharged with
out accusation, have been arrested and
immured in the cells of Fort Pulaski. On
yesterday two other white citizens were
arrested and are to share the dungeons of
those who had gone before. Though the
military authorities have flatly refu.-ed to
assign any cause for these proceedings, it
is well ascertained that they are the in
! eeption ofa fresh attempt to ferret out the
murderers of Ashburn. It is further
known in this community, and we have
strong reasons for the belief, that nobody
is more fully aware of the fact than Gen.
Meade and his subordinates at this point,
that the parties seized and incarcerated
: cannot be connected with that unfortunate
1 transaction. We have the very best
reasons for stating that these arrests have
been concocted in the ‘‘still” sittings of
: the Loyal League, and that the_ suspicions
i advanced are of so flimsy aud improbable
a character as would fail to arrest the
i serious consideration of any military com
mission that may be formed of men, noto
riously ignorant of Law, the rules of
evidence, and entertaining a supreme disre
gard of the lives and liberties of any one,
save themselves. Two debased strumpets,
j one black the other white (we blush to
state it), have been taken in eharge and
: sent to Savannah to swear against the par-
ties arrested, or against any others that it
may seem desirable shall be treated to a
similar fate, hinder this statement of
facts, we feel that we should be criminally
derelict of duty, if we should fail, in be
half of this entire community, to brand
these late proceedings as among the most
infamous and unwarrantable that have
marked the era of military rule in the
South. To remain longer silent would be
but to add to the intimidation and terror
sought to be inspired by these acts, and
to acquiesce in the reports that will be
disseminated throughout the North, that
General Meade, by superior energy and
sagacity, has been enabled to lay at the
right doors the responsibility of the
raking off one of the most obnoxious pests
that ever afflicted a civilized community.
Ami we should but half perform our duty
if we should hesitate to appeal to superior
power for an immediate, active and effect
ive interference with these unjust, out
rageous and illegal proceedings. In behalf,
therefore, of this community which, under
unparalieled provocations and insults, has
faithfully adhered t.o all the duties in
; cumbent upon good citizens, and which is
now placed at the mercy of prostitutes and
vagabonds, we protest against the course of
! General Meade. And in the name of the
; same, we earnestly invoke the attention
; and aid of President Johnson. Solemnly
assertiug our own and the belief of honest
and decent persons in this county, of the
j entire inuoeence of all the parties referred
! to, of any connection with the Ashburn
! affair, we earnestly beg of Mr. Johnson
to interpose his authority to prevent ar
raignment and trial of these defenceless
\ parties before a military commission, three
: hundr and miles away from the witnesses
i who could establish their innocence,against
the false and suborned testimony ot two
beastly drabs.
Further, in behalf of the people of dis'
trict No. 3, who of late have had cause
grievously to feel the mailed hand of the
vain and incompetent man in whose hands
their lives and liberties have Deen unwise
ly and unfortunately placed, we pray for
his prompt removal.
This appeal is not made without strong
cause. It is time that the bitterness, the
indignation, the deep resentment excited
in the hearts of the people by a weak and
incompetent ruler should cease. A peace
ful, law-abiding and defenceless people
should be protected against suborned per
jurers and prostitutes, and the Chief Mag
istrate of the country should see to it that
citizens shall not be driven to desperation
by wrong and persecution.
VYe beg of Mr. Johnson to recall the
fact, that the Supreme Court of this coun
try has solemnly declared that Military
Commissions are unauthorized and illegal
in times of peace, and this the law of the
land he is in duty bound to see executed
in letter and in spirit.
We pray him further to remember that
to the people of the scuth he is indebted
for much of the strength that enabled him
to pass through his late peril, which
threatened him and the Government.—
Though the courage and integrity of a few
men in a moment of need brought at)
ordeal never experienced by any of his
predecessors, it is not going beyond the
bounds of reason to say, that the unani
mous backing afforded him by the people
ot the South, their stern adherence to their
plighted faith, their stubborn support of
his constitutional prerogatives, their respect
for law and obedience to authority, were
among the most powerful elements that
contributed to the triumph of principle
people he owes at least all the protection
that lies within his power to extend.
FllOll WASHINGTON.
THE IMPEACHMENT PLOT.
From the Sew Tort Herald.
Washington, May 22, 1868.—The
most recently reported development of the
impeachment plot is that which is suppos
ed to have been contrived by Butler, Stan
ton and Pomeroy, to set a trap tor Cooper,
j the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
! aud other friends of the President. It is
said the worthy trio mentioned put their
heads together and came to the conclusion
' there were some weak mortals among the
advisers of the Executive who could be
induced to commit such an act and pre
j vail upon the President to sanction it as
would form a basis for another impeach
ment article of irresistible force, and one
bound to insure conviction. Cooper
testified that Pomeroy signified to him in a
written letter, through his brother-in-law
Gaylord, that for forty thousand dollars he
would control four votes and his own for
acquittal. Pomeroy denied to-day, in the
following letter addressed to the National
Intelligencer, that he ever wrote or au
thorized the writing of such a letter :
Sir—l see in the Intelligencer of this
morning what purports to be a letter of
mine produced and sworn to by Colonel
Cooper, as follows: —
Senate Chamber.
Sir—l will in good faith carry out any
arrangement made with my brother-in-law,
Willis Gaylord, to which I am a party.
S. C. Pomeroy.
In reply I will state that I never wrote
nor authorized the writing of the above,
and that the whole is au entire fabrication.
S. C. Pomeroy.
This evening Pomeroy was asked for an
explanation, but had none to give beyond
the mere denial of not having written such
a letter as Cooper had sworn to. Cooper’s
charge was very explicit and receives
strong color of support from a document
which will be very soon made public, of
anterior date to the letter in question,
signed with the genuine autograph of S.
C. Pomeroy, and promising in case a cer
tain office was placed at the disposal of a
certain friend of Pomeroy’s that he would
support the administration, vote for all j
nominations and vote against impeach
ment if it ever came up before the Senate.
Either the story must be true '.hat he tried
to exchange his opposition to the Presi
dent for certain executive favorsor that he
conspired with Stanton and Butler to draw '
the friends, into a trap, in the
hope of drawing the President after them.
The denial he makes of never having
written the letter is a very sale one, for the
reason that Gaylord, to whom he gave it |
to show to Cooper, never allowed it out of j
his hands, and, having failed to accomplish i
its object, was in all likelihood torn up, j
thus destroying all trace of the transaction, j
Bntler, if he was really sincere in advancing
Radical interests, should never have put
such a question to Cooper as drew forth
S- C. Pomeroy,
the damaging answer it did. Thad.
Stevens was very much annoyed, and said
\ this morning that all their work was un
done by this course of examination ; tha
none but a tyro in law would propound
j such a question to a witness, and no cop
perhead oould wish for a better answer than
wbat was recorded.
When the Senate assembles on Monday
the Conservatives intend to call for a com
mittee of investigation to sift this matter
to the bottom, and the general impression
even with many Radicals is that Pomeroy
cannot escape the penalty of expulsion on
the evidence as it stands.
THE WITNESSES EXAMINED.
The witnesses examined to-dav were
Colonel Henderson, an Indian agent. Perry
Fuller, Sunset Cox. Sam Ward, Treasurer
Spinner and J. F. Leggett. Cox testified
he was at a dinner given to the President’s
counsel by \\ oolley, but nothing beyond
some of Joe Miller's jokes revamped by
Cox could be recollected by the witness.
Henderson, Fowler and Ward refused to i
tell what they did with the money they
drew out of bank. It was used, as they ;
said, for purposes wholly foreign to the
inquiry on foot and was no business ot the !
committee’s.
ANOTHER REVOLUTIONARY PROJECT.
Among tue other enterprising projects
of the revolutionary cabal here in \\ ash- !
ingtou is said to be a bill drawn up some
weeks ago on the assurance of conviction
being certain, but now temporarily laid
aside, for such a reconstruction of the Su
preme Court as would get rid of Chief j
Justice Chase aud, under the rule of Ben ]
Wade, place Stanton at the head of the
highest judiciary tribunal This matter is
now slumbering, but if the President be
convicted on Tuesday it will be very quick
ly revived.
OPINION OK SENATOR FOWLER ON IM- i
PEACHMEXT.
Senator Fowler, of Tennessee, filed his j
opinion upon the eleven articles of impeach- <
ment to-day. It is quite lengthy, cover
ing about fifty pages of legal cap paper,
about cr.e-half of which is devoted to the
first article, and the argument against the
second article occupies eleven pages mere.
The paper is very ably prepared, and pre
sents an overwhelming array of the most
powerful arguments “gainst every article
in the list. The filing of this opin
ion leaves only Senator Ross of the
seven Republicans required to defeat con
viction uncommitted upon the remaining
ten articles.
ANOTHER NATIONAL RANK. AUTHORIZED
TO ACT A-S A UNITED STATES DEPOSITORY.
The Secretary of the Treasury has just

Dispute!, to tful/ev York
Washington, May 14, 1868.—The
Herald $ ex posure of Colfax’s proposition
to IV ade has produced much sensation
here, and the shameless denial of the fact
in the Radical organ of New York may yet
lead to an investigation such as Mr.
Broomall proposed. VS r ade himsc-lf author
ized the statement that Colfax had called
upon him and suggested his resignation as
President pro tern of the Senate, as a
means of procuring votes for impeachment;
or rather of removing objections to it. The
consideration offered for this retirement
was to be the withdrawal of Colfax and
Wilson as competitors for the Vice Presi
dential nomination at Chicago, while their
rewards were to be the White House for
Colfax and the Presidency of the Senate for
Wilson, if the game succeeded. Now that
it is certain to fail, Colfax pretends to be
very innocent. But Wade dun't let him
off, and the truth of history will be vindi
cated.
It is quite easy to contradict what was
never alleged 1 did not state that Colfax
was against impeachment; quite the con
trary, for all his plans of selfish ambition
were staked on conviction. Everybody
knows that here.
The furious assaults upon Trumbull, j
Fessenden, Grimes, Fowler, Henderson,
and the like, charging them with corrup
tion aud bribery, have provoked great in
dignation in all circles, and will, undoubt
edly, end in a mighty reaction, which must
sweep the J acobins out of power. What
is curious about these charges is, that they
come from the most notorious members of
the lobby. A Bohemian writer for the
Radical organ in New York says that he
wrote most of the violent articles for Gat
paper, impeaching the integrity of the
Senators in question. Considering that he
was the lobby agent of Jay Cooke & Cos.
duriog the war, and is now the lobby
manager of the Pacific Railroad, of the
Iron Tariff League in New Yotk, ofa steel
eompany, and connected with all the float
ing jobs about Congress, and ali the venal
combinations, he is cAtainly the right man
to impugn the motives of honorable Sena
tors.
Grant is much discouraged at the turn
of things, and would not accept the Chi
cago nomination, except under a sense of
honor. He feels committed alter having
sanctioned the declarations made by Wash
burne, llawliugs, Forney and others, and
from having openly advocated impeach
ment, under the persuasion of bad ad
visers, who assured him conviction was a
sure thing. He believes the Republican
party has gone to the dogs, and that its
defeat in November is inevitable.
Wheat Crop in Georgia.— We are
told, says the Macon Telegraph , that be
tween Macon and Atlanta, on tlie line of
the Macon and Western Railroad, wheat
is a great deal injuied by rust. North of
Atlanta, however, it is represented to be
very fine, and the yield will be abundant.
Clear out the old crop and prepare for the
new.
The Polk County Farmer’s Club print a
report in the Rome Courier of Tuesday,
in which they say;
. We visited, on the 22d, some of the
principal farms in Cedar Valley, with the
view of seeing what the wheat prospect
now is. This is the unanimous report;
All the wheat has the rust —most of it
badly—but as yet confined to tlie leaf.
Tbe promise was very fine up to the time
of the late heavy rains. The estimate of
average yield, of the crops examined (some
of the best in the valley) is six bushels per
acre.
From all the information we can get from
other sections of the country, the average
will be considerably less.
Note, wheat growers, the prospect for a
full yield is good nowhere, so far as we are
informed.
Let us hear from other farmers from
other counties, as to the wheat prospects.
.T TANARUS, Sun,a Triv Sm-mwn Vybpkc
Company— Suit for sl2, goo—verdict
for the Plaintiff of $10,700. —Yester-
day the case cf J. L. Shea against the
Southern Express Company was heard
aud decided in the Bibb Superior Court.
In October, 1865 Mr. Shea purchased a
stock of goods in New York for his Mer
chant Tailoring Establishment, and had
them shipped by the Adams’ Express
Company via Savannah to Macon. At
Savannah the Adams tranferred the ship
ment to the Southern, which Company
put them on Liard the steamboat Savan
nah and started them up the river. The
Central Railroad vvas not in operation.
On the river the Savannah was run into
and sunk by another vessel, and the goods
almost ruined.
Suit was at once commenced for the re
covery of $12,0U0, their full value, but the
case was delayed from Court to Court un
til yesterday, when, all parties being
S resent, a jury was sworn in. Cobb &
ackson, O. A. Lochrane and A. O. Bacon
appeared for the plaintiff, and Judge Wm.
Dougherty, of Atlanta, and the Messrs.
Nisbets for the defence.
The facts brought out on the examina
tion of the witnesses were substantially as
above stated. The legal point involved
was as to the responsibility of a common
i carrier for good& placed in its charge. The
charge of Judge Cole and the decision of
the Jury were that the Express Company
was, in this case, responsible, arid a ver
dict was rendered of slo,Too for Mr. Shea.

A meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Nashville aud Chattanooga Road was
held in Nashville on Friday, the 15th inst.,
at which a compromise was effected
between the Company, on the one part,
and Messrs. Stevenson, Gleaves and Cole,
former officers of the road, on the other
part. It will be remembered that the
latter parties took the rolling stock of the
road South, when Nashville feli to the
hands of the Federal forces, in 1862, and
operated it during the war. When the
road was restored to the Company, suit
was entered agaiust Messrs. Stevenson,
Gleaves and Cole for, we believe, one
million of dollars, it being claimed that
the proceeds during the time they had
possession of the rolling stock reached that
amount. The matter has been in litiga
tion until last Friday, when, on condition
that the defendants pay the Company
thirty thousand dollars, it was agreed
that the suit should be withdrawn and no
further proceedings instituted.
Death of Gen. John W. Gordon.—
Gen. John W. Gordon, an old and univer
sally known citizen, died in this city yester
day afternoon, at 2 o’clock. He was born
on the 13th day of June, 1796, aud hence
only lacked eighteen days of being seventy
two years of age.
He had come down to us from the
eighteenth century, and had seen JLe
American Republic when it.? now fertile
lands were a virgin wilderness. No man
now living in Middle Georgia wa3 better
known. He was tor a long time a citizen
of Jones county, which he often represent
ed in the Legislature. Forseveral months
his health has been very poor, and
although hisimmediate friends and kindred
expected his early demise, the news of his
death will sadden many hearts. After a
long and an eventful life he has at last
been gathered to his children and friends
gone before. May his soul rest in peace !

Despite the vast army or men who have
been wounded by the bullet, but not killed,
the ease of young Prince Alfred, who was
shot the other day by a Fenian in Australia,
is so singular that it deserves special mcn
j tiou. The ball, according to the Medical
i Press and Circular, entered the back half
j an inch from the spine, and if it had taken
the course which, in nine hundred and
ninety-nine cases out of a thousand it would
have taken, it could not have avoided
piercing the heart, lung, diaphragm an!
: intestines, as it started in a downward di

Exit Stanton.
The telegraph informs us that Stanton
has vacated the War Office. This is one
of the first, we hope it will not be'the last,
fruits cf the impeachment fiasco. Stanton
would not have dared, iui=erable hound
though he is, to have retained his place as
a confidential adviser of a man whom he
hated and had betrayed had be not been
urged to do so by the dirty crew headed Ly
Butler and Bingham.
The indignation and condemnation of
the respiectable members of the Republican
party —gentlemanlike Sherman, Trumbull
and Fessenden—added to the execration
which his course had elicited from the re
spectable people of the entire country—
would have driven him in disgrace and
shame from the position which an hon-
orable man . would have left upon the ,
slightest intimation that bis further ser- I
i
vices were not needed. At last he is gone. !
Like the great felons of other dais, whose
deeds of rapine and blood have made their j
names famous in the world’s history, this i
living disgrace of the niueteeth ceutury — j
this foul blot upon the American escutch
eon—will sink at once to the uttermost
depths of infamy, and leave upon his name,
for all time to come, a stain as deep and
damning as that which clings to Nero or
Robespierre.
The President, having get rid of this
creature, should not pause in the good
work. There are thousand of men hold
ing fat offices throughout the country who
are daily using the patronage thus re
ceived in the interest of the Radical party.
Hundreds of them in the South are using
the public money for party purposes, and
with the funds, wrung from the hard earn
ings of our people, arc corrupting and de
bauching the very fountain of justice.
We hope Mr Johnson has learned
something from the recent past. If he
falters now—if he pauses asingle moment —
| his enemies will recover from the shock.
| given them by the failure of impeachment,
! and will gather fresh strength from his
| hesitation and inaction. He must not go
j hat#.—onward should be his watchword.
More ofthe Impeachment Humbug.
Three new articles are to be submitted by !
Mr. Stevens, aud if he caunot get them j
adopted by tbe Managers, he will submit
them to the House. Mr. Stevens is court- I
dent that he can frame one or two articles j
on whieh it will not be impossible to convict. ]
When the articles were tirst under consid- j
oration by the Managers, Mr. Stevens was
in favor of making them far stronger on
many points; but he was overruled. The
probabilities now are that the house will
adopt his ideas. Several of the Managers
are opposed to the taking of the vote next
week. The developments that have been
made in the Managers’ investigation are of
the utmost importance.— New York Tri
bune.
It seems that Greeley, Forney, Butler,
Stevens & Cos. arc determined to make an
other effort to slop the needful and neces
sary legislation of the country in order that
old Thad may be permitted to ventilate his
spleen against the President and his malig
nity against the Southern people, in an
other attempt to impeach Mr. Johnson,
lie announces his ability to “frame one or
two articles upon which it will be impossi
ble not to convict.”
With quite as much positiveness he an
nounced in the House of Representatives,
early in the late'impeachment muddle, that
his article, the 11th of the series, contained
charges upon which “the Senate was bound
to convict.” We have seen that the
Senate, acting under solemn oath® did not
convict on that article, aud we believe that
there is not the slightest probability that
the Court of Impeachment would convict
Mr. Johnson for a “high crime or misde
meanor’ ’ for any acts of his administra
tion. This impeachment excitement is
fomented and kept up now ior no other
purpose than to keep the public mind in a
state of feverish excitement and anxiety
during the approaching canvass, in order
that the Radicals may make capital out ol
it. We said yesterday Impeachment is
dead. We repeat it to-day, and add that
with it has died the future hopes, ambi
tions and aspirations of all those who have
; been actively concerned in it.
The Crops.
We are gratified to learn that the warm,
fine weather of the past few days has
greatly benefited the crops and that the
prospect, is muou ueuer tor a tair yield
than it has been. We hear, however,
that on the light grey lands the stands of
cotton are very imperfect, and. that the
youug plants are still unhealthy, and on
many plantations dying out. On the
heavy rolling red lands the stands are bet
ter and the cotton begins to grow finely.
This crop is- generally reported as being
badly “in the grass.”
Corn is small but is more promising
than the cotton. There has been an unu
sually large area of this crop planted and
very little apprehension is felt that the
yield may not be sufficient for tbe wants
of the country. The experience of ’65 and
’66 has been of’ great service to our agri
cultural friends in inducing them to plant
largely in provision crops, and the valua
ble lessons of those disastrous years we
hope will not he soon forgotten. The
true policy is to plant large grain crops.
The wheat crop all through Middle and
Eastern Georgia has been seriously dam
aged by tbe heavy rains which have fallen
during the month of April and the begia
ing of tbe present month. The rust has
made its appearance on the wheat very
generally and in some localities has cut off
the crop at least one half, and we have
heard of afe w cases in which the damage
has been even more than that. On the
red lands of Greene, Wilks, Elbert and j
Oglethorpe, we learn that the crop has ;
suffered comparatively but little, and that !
a fine yield in those counties will be gener- !
ally obtained. We heard that the harvest
ing has already begun in Wilks and that in !
the course of next week it will be garnered, j
The oat crop is reported to be
good though in some localities this crop
has also been injured by the excessive
rains
Upon the whole the prospect, while not
decidedly flattering, is indicative of a fine
yield and a moderate remuneration for the
labor bestowed.
South Carolina,
The following-circular has been issued
by the Central Executive Committee of the
Democratic party of South Carolina :
From the State Central Executive
Committee.—The Central Executive Com
mittee have received information that
each State will be entitled in tbe National
Democratic Convention,to double as many
delegates as it has representatives in Con
gress. This will give to this State twelve
delegates; four from ihe State at large,
and eight from the Congressional Districts.
The recent Convention here appointed but
six delegates, and the Executive Commit
tee do not feel authorized to fill up the
delegation, nor do they desire to do so. In
order that our State may have hei full
representation, some action must betaken
by the people. The Central Club in each
Election District might send to the Execu
tive Committee thename3 of one delegate
for the Congressional District in which it
is located, and two tor the State at large.
From the names thus selected, the Com
mittee wii! appoint tiiree gentlemen, hav
ing the highest number of votes. Should
this plan be deemed impracticable or in
expedient, it will be necessary to call a
Convention, for the purpose of filling up
our delegation, This matter is brought
before the people, in order that some ex
pression of their wishes may be given.
The Democratic Clubs throughout the
State arc- requested to respond to the Ex
ecutive Committee promptly.

A Letter from General Forrest.
We take from the Memphis Acalanehe
the subjoined letter from General Forrest.
It is so sensible and so uianly that we are
sure that it will meet with general appro
bation. The idea that the best and bravest
men of the South should withdraw them
selves lrom all participation in the couuoils
of the Democratic party, while all the
negroes and vagrants are invited to lend
their support to the Radicals, is simply
preposterous. If the Union is to be re
constructed, the true men of the South
must take part in the work, or consent to
remain in their native laud the mere sub
jects or slaves of a section. We do Dot be
lieve the Democrats and Conservatives of
the North are prepared to ask any such
cowardly and base concessions. Baltimore
Gazette.
Nashville, May 25, 1868.
Editors Avalanche—Gents : An influ
ence is at work in this State as I have
discovered since my recent departure from
Memphis, to preclude any participation
by the late Confederate soldiers in the
coming Convention of (he Democracy of
Tennessee, to be held at Yv ashington on
the 9ih of June, and in the National
Democratic Convention, to be held at New
York on the 4th of July.
It docs not amount to a purpose to ar
bitrarily do this thing ; but is felt in efforts
to induce every one who took any part in
the recent struggle of the Confederacy for
independence to deeline attending at these
assemblies upon pretended grounds of ex
pediency, and to submit the representation
of Tennessee at New York to men who
were known to be for the Union.
Upon consultation with many of my late
associates in the war, 1 have concluded to
advise against any further political emas
culation of ourselves in the party move
ments of the State.
We are already sufficiently proscribed in
the constitution and statutes which now
govern the State, against our consent, the
proscription of which have, through the.
mendacious hostility of our legislative ene
mies, been added to time and again,' until
now we barely live under the accumulated
weight of disfranchisement and oppression.
Shall we superadd, by our own action, to
those proscriptions and exorcisms of our
selves from ail participation in the assent
blies of the State and National Democracy,
and publish to the world a confession that
we are too unworthy to intrude ourselves
into the councils of the party? The Na
tional Democratic party, through its com
mittee, have invited us to take part in the
Convention which is to assemble at New
York on the 4th of July. It prescribes no
test oaths, no qualifications dependent
upon the part we have taken iu the late
war, but, like a true constitutional party,
it opens its doors and invites all who may
choose to come, without reference to the
past. To suggest, then, an answer to so
catholic an invitation, that we who are the
true representatives of the greater portion
of the constitutional men of the cltate feel
ourselves unworthy to soil the deliberations
of that Convention with our presence,
would exhibit us in an attitude of servile
degradation that, I trust, wo have not
reached as yet. In this view of the case
then it is my advice (given from a sense or
duty, and against a reluctance which is
averse to any personal display of myself in
a matter of this kind), to all my comrades
to participate iu the county meetings, and
to send up full delegations to Nashville on
the 9th of June, composed of good and
true men, without refereuca to the divisions
which were made by the war.
The only hope of restoration of a good
Government in this country is in the suc
cess of the National Democracy in the
next Presidential campaign. 1 trust my
late comrades will not, from expediency or
other motives, absent themselves from a
participation in the political exercises
which arc to result in the choice of stand
ard-bearers, made with a view to so patri
otic and desirable an end. So far as lam
personally concerned, T have no desire to
take any part iu politics, nor to occupy any
political positiou whatever; but I do
not wish to see my State represented by
men whose only claim to public favor is
the dexterity with which they took either
side of the question in the late war, as in
terest dictated, and who bank upon it as
their only capital for popular support.

Dear Chronicle & Sentinel: —There has
never been, perhaps, a period within the
history of Presidential nominations when
one has fallen so flat, or produced so little
enthusiasm among its own party adherents
as that of the • Chicago nominees. Not
eveua gun has been Bred in honor of the
nomination, or an enthusiastic demonstra
tion made by the friends of the nominccsany

of the land. From Maine to California
the thing has fallen still-born.

. their spirits, and paralyzes their energies.
Not even here, in the National Capital,
overflowing with a contraband population
and hireling partisans, and the residence
of the candidates, cOuld they get up even
a respectable serenade to these gentlemen
in honor of their nomination ; nor could
the maiden speech ol General Grant, which
he has been twelve months engaged in
prepariug, and with the pomp of the So
phomore, and the ignorance and diffidence
of one whom mere circumstances have
brought to the surface, diffuse the motly
crowd with a spark of genuine enthusiasm,
for so common place was that speech that
even his sable friends were disappointed.
What a speech ! “Being entirely unac
customed to public speaking, and without
any desire to cultivate tha power,” clos
ing his remarks as he turned his back
upon the crowd, with, “I do not know
whether they heard that or not.”
(Laughter.)
And this the man for President of the
United States ? Never, no, never. The
times and circumstances demand tnen of
the highest talent and statesmanship, and
the American people are awake to these
necessities, and will spurn the men of ig
norance and duplicity who are placed be
fore them for these high posts of honor
and trust, claiming their votes upon the
grounds of partisan necessity or availa
bility, while virtue, patriotism, and the ;
highest order of talent are now requisite
to save the Constitution and perpetuate |
the institutions of our fathers.
Upon the Democratic party must devolve
the duty of saving the country and wrest
ing it from the. hands of the Jacobin cabal, j
who, through ignorance, robbery , and mis- j
rule, have brought our American institu- i
tions upon the verge of annihilation. ;
Wise councils should preside in the selec
tion of their standard-bearers in the en- j
suing Presidential cuutest. There should
be no eollisions, strike, or discord, between j
the sections or the friends of the leading
candidates for these honors. Harmony,
concord, strength, and power are to be
found only in fidelity to principles. In our
present great national peril we need unity
of action—the best efforts of ail, North,
South, East and West—to serve and save
the Constitution and the country. Re
member, that it is tyranny, and not liberty,
that has bred our national calamities.
The people must spurn their tyrants, and
look alone to those who are guided by a
spirit of patriotism, erudition, and a just
consideration of right and justice to all
without regard to caste or color, to carry
them and the country safely through the
tempestous storm of Radical misrule, in
which it is now our misfortune to be en
gu! phed.
We have no disposition to dietate to the
National Democratic Convention, which
meets in the city of New York, on the 4th
day of July next, for the purpose of selecting
menfor the high position ofjjandard-bearers
in tbePresidential contest,for in this we have
faith to believe that they will bring to bear
the highest order of patriotism and talent,
and with a harmony that will challenge
the admiration of the world, confer the
honors upon those in whom the people
have confidence—a contrast of whose
abilities and virtues will mantle the cheeks
of their opponents with shame and humilia
tion.
While the Southern States have a deep
interest in the success of the Democratic
party, in order to wipe out the disgrace
and humiliation of an unqualified negro
suffrage imposed upon them by the party
of tyrants of whom Grant and Colfax are
their representative heads, they should
refrain from even an expression of their
choice of candidates, much less to dictate
in the least to the Convention, as to whom
j they wili or whom they will not support,
should they be permitted to exercise the
right of suffrage as States within the
| Union in the Presidential contest. Their
j councils within the Convention will be ail
important, and if tendered and accepted
in a spirit of conciliation, as it doubtless
will be, it wili go far to strengthen the
arm of the Northern Democracy and
i diffuse a spirit of enthusiasm that will
make the nomination equivalent to an
: election.
Impeachment is virtually dead, but
there must needs be retained within the
halls of Congress its putrid carcass upon
which the dogs of impeachment may lea-:
and fatten. Butler, the Beast, is still
hounding the President, and, under the
powers granted him as one ol the House
Managers, has assumed inquisitorial pow
ers in the investigation of the causes which
influenced the seven Radical Senators to
vote “not guilty’ on the eleventh and
principal article of impeachment. Such
an assumption of power on the part of a .
member of the House over the conduct of 1
Senators has no warrant in the Comtitu
tion, which makes each house the sole
judge of the conduct, character, and quali
ficatioDS of its members, nor parallel in the
history of governments. It is a burning
shame and disgrace to the American na
tion that so high-handed an outrage and
insult should be offered to the dignity of
the American Senate by so low and de- ,
graded a beast as that of Ben. Butler.
