The amnesty proclamation of the

the mass pf people. The middle course
adopted will save the State from anarchy
and confusion, while it relieves tire peo.

TiE MADNESS OF FANAT lSM.-The
negro is irrepressible. He cannot be
kept down. From the begii ning of our
history, he has been a disturb'xg element
in politics. The grand issueof the war
we have just seen closed, ce trod more
or less upon,hinm. But with lie end of
the armed struggle, new co plications
arige in which the inevitable nnd- irre
'pressille negro re-appears as their leading
character. Slavery has been practically
killed. An amendment to the Consti
tution, perfecting this policy, and giving
it the sanction of fundamental law, is far'
progressed tovard adoption by a reqiuisit
mnjority of States. Four years ago,
Wendell Pbillips in the wildest flights
of his fervid inaginattion, would not have
expected to see so much accomplished in
his lifetime. Probably the National
Anti-Slavery Society, at the '- ginnaing
of the war, would havq been rla4 to
compromise on the basis of uviat has
alrea<y been done, and solemnly agree
to agitate no more for a centtiry. -But
yet the radicals, not satisfied with the
liberation of thme, slaves, 'wish the blacks
who ivere lately sweating upon planta.
tions,*ivith scarcely an idea beyond Their
.diy's tiwk and their rations of hog and
hominy, to be given the ballot box; 6f
the uses of which they are as ignorant
as would be, a Fejee islander of- the
prindiples oVan electrical battery. And
when the right of suffrage is granted
if ever such evil a day should come, and
such a blot ever-be put upon our history
-rthe next step of these New England
derIlshes will-be to claim that the negr6
be- admitted to social equality, and tq
intermarry and 6esociate with thawhites.

deserters from our Army-men. who
lived sidie by si4q with my men.! I wait.
ed five minutes ofter the time, and then
blow my bugle for the charge. In
twenty milutes my men were over the
works, and the firing had ceased. The
citizens and Yankees had broken in, the
head of whisky and lager beer barrels,
and werb alf drunk. They kept up fir
ing all the time as rhey went dowq the
bill. Hundreds of thlrm rushed to' the
river and tried to swim to'the gunboats,
and my men shot them down. . The Mis
sissippi River was red with their blood
for three' hundred yards. During all
this, their flag was still flying, and I rush
ed over the works and cut the halliards,
and let it down and stopped the fight.
Many of the Yankees were in tents in
front, and they' were in their way, as
they concealed my men, and some of
them set them on fire. If they were bur.
ned to death, it was in these 'tents:
"They have a living witness in Capt.
-Young. their Quartermaster; and 1 will
leave it to any prisoner I have ever
taken if I have nmt treated them well."
CONDUCT OF THiE FEDERAL AUTWDRI
TIES iN GxoRGIA.-The Federal authori
ies seem to be conducting themselves
with the sme accorum, in Georgia as they
have done in Virginia., A Macon pa.
per, speaking of their deportment in that
city says:
If Macon is a conquered city,' as sone
people affirm, she is certainly favored
with the mildest mannered victors of
whom record has been made. instead
of being disorderly, or in any way dis
turbing the public peace, the great mass
.of the soldiery among us are preservers
of good order. A very few disgrace
their profession, when the eyes of their
oficers are not upon them, but we are
free to say the-number is small.
' Macon, it is stated, is nearly free from
all surplus population. The useless
white population who infest all cities
have been ordered away, and have been
compelled to seek ome other location.
The hiridreds of negroes who followed
General Wilson's army have left the
city. Some of them have returnel to
their old homes. N
CosT. OF THE WAn TO TUi SOUT.
A Southern journal estimates the loss on
account of the war to a single State as
follows:
Thie property, real and personal, in
eliuding slaves, held in South Carolina,
according 1, the census of 1860, was
valned at four hundred millions of dollars.
The bank, railroad.and other corporate
stocksland personal property pmounted to
as hundd millions, and of this property
harldy d vestge is left.- The four hundred
thousand slaves wore estimated to be
worth two hundred millions. The land,
embracing some fine)y improved and
'prodtictive cotton' and ice plantations,
with costly manions, was Worth dne
hundred million dollars; and hese are,
to a great extent, devastated by the war.
