Lid' Till: SOUTH BE IIKAHU.
[From the Mer-.phis, Tenn., Daily Commercial.]
In ordor to ?cenro poac? upon Uio best and most
?iorraonont baB?B and hasten tho completo restora
ion of tho machinery of civil government through
out tho Southern Statoti, it in a matter of no ?mall
importance to iho authorities at Washington, that
tho true fjantiment of tho Southern people should
bo definitely made known an rogardH tho situation
in "which they arc placed by the unsuccessful rc
Hultn of their revolutionary Btrugglo, and tho rela
tioiiB which thoy sustain, or desiro to sustain, to
tho Federal Government.
And it ie, perhaps, of no Ichh importance to the
public tranquil! ty and tho great work of national
r?conciliation, that tho people of tho North and
IVoBt BhOttkl be put in possession of facts instead
?if rumorB, on to the real position and purposes of
their Southern neighbors, and fairly understand
tho tone and temper of tho Southern mind.
At present tliero is a disastrous ignorance on
this subject among tho peoplo at large, and an ig
nuranco all tho greater on the part of thoso who
assume to feel tho greatest interest in Southern
regeneration, and Book to control and tdinpo it, as
this wantof knowledge and consequent lack of real
uympathy may ohoncc to Biiggcst.
Nor is tho Government itself so thoroughly post
ed upon tho matter that it needs no further en
lightenment to assist and promote its deliberations.
Tho President hao much else to loarn than maybe
gathered from tho delegations that have waited
upon him as representative Southerners, many of
whom aro BCif-oonBtituted committees, with itidi
vividual objects to accomplish, unauthorized to
speak even for their friends and neighbors, still
Iobb to reflect tho public sentiment of any conside
rable constituency.
And far loss may tho authorities or people de
rivo from the correspondence of the public presa
information that is of value or reliability. Much
of it is positively false?much of it embellished by
fancy or prejudice-?all of it, with .scarcely an ex
ception, fraught with mischief and evil.
it is by this sort of literature that the public
mind is kept in a ferment, and tho passions of the
people fod, with what, in many cases, seems a per
tinacity almost infernal.
Isolated instances of disaffection, brutality or
cruelty to negroes, are sought out or invented
with a truly Satanic industry, and reiterated in the
cars of the people and the administration as evi
dence of tho refractory, nullen, rebellious, or still
treasonable temper of tho Southern States.
It seems to be a studied purpose with these con
spirators against reunion upon tho basis of tho
Constitution, to vUlify the South as barbaric, irre
claimably depraved, and fit only for subjugation,
or more especially tho spoils that follow in tho
train of subjugation. '
In these sources, the radical opponents of con
stitutional restoration are constantly finding new
arguments for forcing their dogmas upon the at
tention of the people and the Government, and the
Government itself is unavoidably misled to a
greater or less extent, by tho same pernicious sys
tem of misrepresentation that has left the Soulh
ern people completely at the mercy of their foes,
as it were, and virtually helpless.
Tliero is in all this a manifest injustice. Tho
South, in tho name of humanity, has a right to be
heard. She has attempted to throw off the Na
tional authority, but fa?:ng in the effort, groaning
under its terrible consequences, ready to renew
her old time allegiance, and indisposed to quibble
as to terms which she can neither alter nor reject,
sho only oekH that the work of restoration bo
speeded, and that she may have some opportunity
of vindicating herself from the broadcast nspor
sions, which are so industriously disseminated to
'blacken the sincerity of her motives and prolong
lier miseries.
For tho purposo then of giving to the inhabi
tants of the late Confederate States a1 cpJ??iPH?
ty of ann?tinclng, lii feom? general and authorita
tive way. what may bo regarded as an official
declaration of sentiment, reflecting the dominant
opinions of the Southern country, we beg leave to
suggest that a Convention of Delegates, trom all
tho seceding States bo held early in tho coming
Autumn, or as Boon as practicable, at Nashville or
some other central point, for the purpose of plac
ing the peoplo of these StatoB in their true posi
tion before the country and the world, as a people
acquiescent in the rulings of fortune, submissive
to Federal authority, anxious to resume the duties
of citizenship, and assuring President Johnson of
thoir united purpose to co-operate with him in the
rc-cstabhshmeni of law and order and the main
tenance of tho national authority.
And as an initiatory movement, let conventions
bo held at once in the various counties of Tennes
see, and delegates selected to a State Convention
to be held at Nashville, and let tho example, inau
gurated here, bo urged with all possible earnest
noss and zeal upon the remaining States of the
South, that there may be an entire concert of ac
tion and an assemblage, in general Convention,
worthy of the noble occasion which shall have sum-1
monod it together.
Let it be understood, furthermore, that no man
participates in these conventions who has not been
at ono time or another identified with tho cause of
secession, and in an attitude of hostility to the
Government, whose protection he. now desires in
return for his ronerr?d allegiance.
We do not presume to Bay what should bo tho
programme or such a convocation as we have in
all sincerity and good faith suggested. It would
necessarily be componed in a great measure of the
bravery, the genius and the intelligence of the
Southern States?statesmen, soldiers and scholars,
all occupying tho same level of defeat, yet by tho
adversities of fortune made capable of stronger
and moro united efforts for tho social and political
renovation of their wasted and disorganized com
munities; and entitled, from the aggravated stig
mas which are heaped upon their names, to at
least a respectful and consid?rate hearing.
They have no organs of communication with
?meh other or tho people at largo?many of them,
divested by statute of the elective franchise, have
no means of establishing their loyalty at the bal
lot box?all of them ore under the ban of a public
opinion that weighs not in its deductions?all of
them under the loan of a venal and prescriptive
press.
Let them then be heard; we eay ont of their own
month* let them be adjudged, and not out of the !
month of a Tribune correspondent. Let their
united pledge be given of fealty to the law and
Constitution. Let their recognition of the aboli
tion of negro slavery be formally announced. Let
them seal the act of emancipation with the seal of
their conventional authority. Let them repel the
unfriendly and unfounded asseverations of then'
traducoTs; and extend to the measures and the
Eolicy indicated by their Executive Magistrate, a
and and heart of earnest assent and co-opera
tion.
With euch a demonstration the country would
rebt content. The President would rejoice at its
manifestations. It would strengthen his own arm?
weaken that of his political antagonists, and to its
conclusions the judgment oi mankind would pro
nounce one universal amen.

LiTTicS Roce, Augur t 1.?Organizations under
the new State Constitution are n?w completo in
every county but three. Meetings are now being
held in the exceptcd counties, to make them com
plete. Sheriffs, Probate and County Judge?, and
all the lesser offices, are filled?all by good loyal'
men?and businons goes on a? peaceably as in
Massachusetts. County and State taxes are being
?ullocteu; order is restored. As yet there has
been no trouble from returned rebel prisoners, all
seemingly settling down and making no complaints
?a majority open in thoir expressions of thanks
that the war is over. Guerrillas have all disap
peared; traveling through the State safe as five
yearB ago. *
Trade in' commencing in all tho villages and at
cross roads. There is.considerable cotton yet to
go forward /torn tho south part, of tho State.
Speculators aro busy. Emigration from tho North
western Ht atoe tO this' haV cOrunicnood. ? Many
soldiers havo sent for Southern property. Proper
ty owners in tho South, not unfrequcntly. own
several residences.. In this vicinity, for instance;
we know of gentlemen, not a few. who have a win
ter town-houBO, a residence On the bound for mid
summer, and a plantation residence in the country
beside. Of course it is impossible for these gen
tlemen to occupy all these residences at one and
iho same time. On tho approach of our troops to
this town sfimo of thein were vacant, and were
taken possession of as "abandoned."
Another class of property similarly held is that
owned by. estates yet in probato, or the proparty
of widows and orphans held by executors. Of
course such property cannot be attained, and tho
?government does not moan to hold it; but having
teen found "abandoned"?that is, with no owner
present to claim it?the authorities seized it, and
now the rightful owners experience an endless
amount of difficulty in reclaiming it. ?his is. fir.?
case in at least one instance, now in our mind,
whore n?4 only is tho property owned by a widow,
but her representative is a loyal man beyond dis
pute, having already been entrusted with a re
sponsible Office in this town, and complied with all
the requirements of oaths, etc. ?QOSffiH
Much property is now held by the government
representatives "here that has never been formally
BOi/.ed by the officers of the Treasury Department,
and ia not now, and never has been, entered on
tin? hooks of the treasury agent; and yet the own
er?, being loyal men within all the requirement?
of Die law und the proclamation of the President,
cannot recover possession. Our citizens arc put
to great inconvenience and Iosb because of this
distress of their properly, and are unable to eee
any remedy. The government is being injured
also from the same cause by reason uf tho tenden
cy such treatment works to weaken the conlideneo
of the peoplo in its representations. Complaints
are brought in to us almost daily in regard to these
matters; but tho most wo cando is to refer tho
complainants to tho treasury agent. We presumo
the treasury agent is similarly embarrassed, not
knowing by what authority property not in his
hands is hold, and being ineapablo of affording
any redress to the injured parties. Probably an
appeal to Washington, and a full representation of
tho facts, would draw out a general order that
would open a door for relief hi such cases as are
cutitled to it.
Wo have also been applied to personally and by
letter for information as to the proper mode of
procedure to recover property rightfully seized at
the timo, but the owners of which havo since
purged themselves of their hostility to tho govern
ment by taking tho required oaths,* or applying for
and receiving tho executive pardon. We presume
such parties will havo their property restored to
thorn. Indeed it has been restored in the casca of
some who were formerly prominent as enemies to
iho United States. And yet wo are sorry to say
that others complain that, while they havo never
been hostile to the government, they find difficulty
in get tiug their property, and cito eases to show
tho iniilatico* of tho treatment they receive. All
such should lay their cases before tho representa
tive of the Treasury Department, where wo havo
no doubt thoy will obtain both counsel and"relief

Letter from John Minor Units lu Reference
to the 820,000 Clause.
Wo do not doom tho sayings of Mr. John Minob
Botts of any very groat importance, nor do wc
consider his views on national subjects of much
weight, but aa a part of tho nows of tho day wc
publish tho following letter from him:
Auburn, neab Bkanby Station, August 4?My
Dear Sir: Your letter of tho 30th July, asking for
my interpretation of the proclamation of President
Johnson of tho 29th of May, 1865, has boon receiv
ed, and I avail myself of the first leisure moment
to answer it. I think it clear that the oath of am
nesty and pardon is, by that proclamation, offered
to au, with tho exception of tho fourteen different
classes of persons enumerated, and from them tho
benefits of the amnesty oath are withheld until a
special pardon is obtained, and this pardon, as I
understand it, when obtained, only remits tho pen
alties that have been incurred by those who nave
endeavored to overthrow tho Government, without
conferring any political privileges whatever, which
are controlled in some instances by tho onactments
of tho United States Congress, and in others by the
provisions of State Constitutions and State laws (aa
in this State), neither of which are or can be dis
turbed by tho pardon of the President. In refer
ence to the thirteenth section, which reads:
"All persons who have voluntarily participated in
said rebellion, and tho estimated value of whose
property i? over twenty thousand dollars."
ThiB clause seems to be lesa understood than any
of the exceptions contained in the proclamation;
and there aro very many making application for
pardon who are not at all embraced in the excep
tions. Union and loyal men throughout tho war.
persons of advanced ago. and others who have had
no participation in the rebellion, eithor voluntarily
or involuntarily, all seem to think that because
their taxable property exceeds twenty thousand
dollars that it is necessarily liable to confiscation
unless a pardon is obtained from the President;
and by their numorous applications arc not only
unnecessarily increasing the labors of the Presi
dent, Attorney-General, and other officials in Wash
ington, but arc throwing away their own means
and time, and making a harvest for the lawyers
who aro engaged m that branch of business. It
is manifest that this thirteenth clause is suscepti
ble of no such construction. To thoso who havo
not "voluntarily participated in tho rebellion'
this clause has no application whatever, no matter
what amount "of taxable property they may own:
and whether thoy have voluntarily participated
or not, is a matter that must he best known to
themselves, for there may be other modes of vol
untary participation than that of actually bearing
arms against the United States; in other words,
thero were other means to bo employed for the
overthrow of the government than by bearing arms,
for the worst of tho secessionists were generally
thoso who were the last and the leaat willing
to take np arms. These contributed all their means
and en?rgica, somo by investment in Confederate
stocks for tho purpose of aiding the rebellion, oth
ers by running tho blockade, and other "bomb
proof" occupationB, as they were called?all for the
overthrow of the Government of the United States.
All this I should call voluntary participation in tho
rebellion. . But you aak particularly whether de
tailed farmers, in my opinion, would come under
the class of cases; to which I should answer, not
necessarily. I know myself of a number of cases
in which tho most loyal men of the State became
detailed farmer?, only for the* purpose of avoiding
military duty in the field, and of obviating tho ne
cessity* for taking up arms against the United
StalcB authorities; and yet a detailed farmer might
have done many things that would subject him to
the exception; therefore, I think such particular
case would have to stand upon its own merits, as
no general or universal rule could be applied.
Every man best knows his own motives, and Knows
whether he did what ho could, whether in ono ca
pacity or another, to aid the rebellion, and upon
his own conscience must rest tho necessity for an
application for pardon. If ho is conscious of hav
ing done nothing voluntarily to aid the rebellion,
then I should say it would be quito time enough to
ask for a pardon when steps were taken against
him for a confiscation of his property; and in tho
meantime to save his time and money for better
purposeB than that of enriching lawyers and paid
agents. I am, respectfully and very truly, yours,
JOHN M. BOTTS.

Colonel Andrew J. Butler, having neglected to fill
the inventory of assets, as required by law, Hurro
fate Tucker, on tho 2Cth of July, summoned him
3 appear on tho 28th ultimo, and filo tho necessary
inventory. General Butler did not appear, hut
was represented by a -person who had the matter
adjourned until the 8th instant. Another adjourn
ment was granted till Thursday, August 17, when
the General, accompanied by his counsel, appeared.
The case being called, lar. Haokott stated to the
Court that tho delays had been caused by inadver
tence and mistake, and he would there fore ask that
the contempt of Court,. with which tho General
stood charged, be set aside.
i General Butler then addressed the Court, saying
that he had not supposed that his personal attend
ance was necessary, and that as soon as < he ascer
tained that it was, ho hastened to obey tho orders
of the Surrogate. g ,, . ;':. ?. ?jftJJ
The contempt was then soi aside, and Messrs.

You will see a good deal of nonsense originating

long document, over eighteen pages of foolscap.
Genoral Loo made his application (or. pardon on

partly growu bolls and forms gavo some idea of what tho crop would have been could they have matured. Al
though we saved a large quantity of manuro on the place last year, our conndenoe in the valuo of your Phosphate
led us to purchase of you last spring seventy tons, one-half of which we used ourselves, and the balance was
bought for a friend, who was satiHticd of its worth in cotton culture. At the time of writing this, our crop is looh
ing finely, and promises an abundant yield. One portion of our plantation consists of highlands with a clay sub
soil, running near tho surface; the remainder is flat and inclined to be sandy. The owner of the place tells us that
he did not succeed with cotton on this last part; but owing, as we think, to the liberal use of your Phosphate, we
have now a good crop growing upon it- This is but tho second season of cotton growing with us; still, from our
experience thus far, we do not hesitAtc to recommend your Phosphate of Lime as a manure well adapted to the.
wants Of the cotton planter."

Professor J. 3. Mapes?Dear Sir: I bought twenty bags of your Nitrogcnized Superphosphate of Lime, of
your Agents, Messrs. H. k N. E. Solomon, Hamburg, 8. C. (who solicited a statement of its effects), and applied H>
to forty acres of my poorest cotton land.
This land is on the public road, where its effects were seen. My neighbors, who are acquainted with the land >
were astonished at the luxuriant growth of the cotton whero I used your Superphosphate, it produced better cot
ton, and a larger amount, than on my gcod land; leen work was needed m making the cotton than on my other -
land- Not apartide of rust was to be seen whero I applied your Superphosphate, while the rust prevailed over -
every other portion of the crop.
. . Ropprctfhlly yours, DAVID PAYNE,
Note.?Mr. Payne's good land compare! fuvorably with the best cotton lands on '.he Saluda River, Tho SahiOa .
bottoms are proverbial for producing large quantities of cotton.
COTTON.

Mr. J. <T- Mates? Dear Sir: In reply to yours- of the 1st inst, I cheerfully state: I have used Mopes' Nitro
genlzed Superphosphate of Lime on my cotton of the present year, and am perfectly satisfied with its yitM.
I can recommend it to my nedghbors with confidence, as a pure and effective manure, and would give it tlio
preference to any other in tho market.
Yours, respectfully, TH08. DAYUf.
Mr. Charles W. Mlzon, of Edcnton, Chowan County, N. C, writes to Mr. Bockover:
In regard to Mopes' Phosphate it worked admirably for mo, the product being fully equal if not superior t/>
both the manures before mentioned. It did not start tho young plant as early ae either the other manures; but ifc .
seemed|to retain its color and pods much better, and no symptom of rust was ever Been where it was applied?all
tho land I planted in cotton being about the samo quality and strength. CHARLES W. MIXON.
Extract from a letter from Colonel Oideon Dowse, of BerzeUo, near Augusta, Oa., August, 1860;
J. JT. Mapes?Dear Sir: I have no hesitation in saying that on my own farm your Superphosphate has bees?
and is now, superior m its effects, where I have applied it on my cotton, to either lot-manure or cotton seed; aod?.
as compared to the land without manure in tho samo field (in in y opinion the only true way to test It), it is a? four -
to one in the number of grown bolls, and as ten to ono in tho young fruit ?und forme, in favor of tho t?uperphoe
Tihnl*'
This opinion is formed from a close and critical examination by my overseer and myself. There is one refplfc
from its application, which, if it had nothing else to recommend it, is of incalculable value, and that la, it dttie *
aeem to guard against that worst enemy of tho cotton plant, namely, the ruU.
I have applied it to land that Invariably rusts cotton, and there Is as yet not* a sign cfrutt In it, wbilo the awno
kind of Isncf just adjoining is completely ruined by if already. .
This experiment confirms that made by Mr. Lomas,' of 8. C., last year; and I am fully persuaded that any plant
manured with it' does withstand a drought better and keeps green longer than with ant other application Um ~
come under my notice. I have seen cotton, corn, okro, melons and other garden plants, that have kept i
during tho terrible drought that has so completely destroyed all our gardens, and my nutmeg melons aro as i
laid blooming as beautifully as in spring.
I have written Ulis as the result of my Judgment from closo observation. When I shall have gathered my crops-,
it will give me pleasure to give you tho result from actual weight and measure.

"Wo have, in th? oonrso of an extensivo agricultural correspondence, gathered evidence of the superior valoo
of Mapos' Nitrogenlzed Superplioenhate of Limn upon tho cotton fields of the South, where Peruvian Guano had
been used with partial suenes a. .The bolls have been heavier, and of greater number, the yield of cotton per acre bug. . ,
been larger, and what Is also qi.the greatest consequent, no nut is ttitcovertif in ootfon fields where tbiS artfclo toi -'

J. J. Mapes, Esq., NOW York? Dear Sir: I bought four tons of yonr Huperphosphatij. of Lim? for cay cotton ,
crop, al ?o some guano, and have tried them sido by side on tho samo quality Of land. Not apartide oft*ust was to
be sein where your'Superphosphate was used; and I ulso spplicd stable manure on a portion of to? l(tjd. Tho
exit ton had the rust when the latter was used. The yield of cotton .was splendid' when th? "Superphosphate wail.
used, despite the extraordinary dry year. When T applied thu other manure tho yield was not good. ^
I applied the Superphosphate at tho rate of 100 lbs. per acre, and believe it would have paid better if I bad pnt
more per acre.. . .
