TuE OPppostTion To THE AMENDMENTS.
"The.opposition. to. .the.Constitational .
Amendments is not of. recent origin. + It
originated’ with President nson and
the copperhead party. Johnson, notwithstanding the fact that the Amendments
were not submitted to him,c*mmunicated
a message, in which he stated his .objections'to them, and declared that tlie
action of the Secretary of State was “purely ministerial and. in no sense whatever
committed the Executive to’ an approval or a recommendation of the Amendmenté to the State Legislatures or the people. ” The Philadelphia Doolittle Convention made the same objection to these
Amendments as Jolinson does to the. loyal
Congress. Notwithstanding the “opposition from. these.sources, all the States
where elections have yet been held have
indorged ‘the Amendments, so far as the
, peoplé’ are capable of doing so, and
im sevéral they have already been. ratified
by. the Legislatures. No Amendment was
ever so readily accepted by the people.—
Notwithstanding these facts, that class of
politicians who are ready to grasp at every
@traw, are now declaring that. because
_ Governor Orr of South Carolina don’t like
“the Amendments, the next Congress will
probably modify them, Who is Governor
Orr that Congress should change its policy
in order to please him, after that policy has
been 80 healttily indorsed by the people?
\ Heis said to be a conservative by the Johnson men. So was Alexander Stephens a
conservative, and so are all traitors conservatives of the Johnson stripe to-day.—
This mah Orr believes in South Carolina
traitors having three times as much inflaence in the Congress as one loyal voter in
Massachusetts. . The Amendments would
make every voter equal. Orr holds that
men guilty of perjury and treason should
go unpunished, but the Amendments provide thiat those who violated thelr oath to
support the ‘Constitution and took up arms,
shall not hold éffieé unléaw such disability
id removed by. a vote of two-thirds of both
houses of Congress. This South Carolina
rebel, who walked into the Johnson Convention arm-in-arni ‘with ‘a Massachusetts
copperheads, is in fayor of the United
States government. paying the rebel debt.
The'proposed Amendments declare that
it shall. never be. paid. This is what
is dalled conservatism. The opposition of
Orr to the Amendments is of rio more moment than the opposition of Jeff. Davis or
Johnson. They are necessary to the futire peace and ‘safety of the nation, and
without gach an Amendment as. is proposed in regard to representation, a premium Will be paid for the treason of the
South,,.There.are loyal States enough to
“aont ‘the Amendment. Without the aid of
Orr and in. spite. of the opposition of the
, traitor who. disgraces the Presidential
hind ‘The loyal men of the nation who
sustained the administration of Abraham
Lincola,. are.ftrong enough to carry.
throngh their cause until the results of
the war-are firmly fixed in fundainental
law. Away with that conservatism which
Arfays itseffagainst the proposed Amendmietite,and would opén the doors of Congress to the infamous traitors who have
attempted to destroy’ the Government,—
Of ll the. unreasonable statements that
frave béen'thade'by the Johnson press, the
one that Congress, after haying stood bolddy up for rig vigainat the Executive, and
: Face every point.and having been .
indorsed by the people in every election,
should modify its course becanse of the opposition of an infamous traitor of the Pal-.

‘. against him. ~-Wheneves he alludes to his
reasons for thinking ha
execdted on
a considerable ee
‘time in writing. He seems to enterhis 00 des et healt and talks of his trial
Geath he speaks ofit asan event for which *
the public is impatient. _Dodge sends us
the following letter, with a request for its }
publisation. "We give it place, because
the thoughts expressed by him, when sen_
tence was pronounced, ate more fully expressed thanin our notice at that time:
“Editor Transcript :—I notice in your
colurins a statement, that J had a fale impression on my mind’ when 1-was before
Judge McFarland the last time.’ Now, I
beg to be undérstood by all. “Nothing
looks more hoble or more brave in a man
than to acknowledge a wrong when he
knows that.heis wrong. It is not my intention.to die, giving any one any,false accusations, for God knows my heart, that I
only want to do God and the world a good
service, that is justly due—such service as
you think you are deing by hurring me
to an ignominious death. I said: ‘to the
Judge, (when sentence was passed,)
~“‘Tshall not be able to say anything
that: will satisfy you of my innocence, it is
in the nature of the case imposible. *¥ou
know the evidence and from what source
it came, and asyon ate bent on having my
life it is idle for me to attempt to explain
Lifaway. I have no reason to believe that
my word will be taken in e xplanation .
against the pp icra ong that exist against
me, nor am 1 going to beg you to take it,
complain to you that it is not taken, nor
shall I appeal to your reason in what'few
words I have got to say. In the present
fury.and passion of a number of persons,
they would hate me worse were I to prove
my entire innocence, than they do now.—
The long settled hate of a few men has infected you all, and now you as well as
many others, are so mad and so prejudiced
against me, that you think you are-doing”
God and the world a good service by hurrying mé to an ignominiots death. 1 have
given you,all the warning that can, that
is all I can do, and you may do your work
up to ao pominalvee.5 To ‘the aadience
ou. whe-now. so impatiently
=A my death and stand weady to lend a
hand in effecting it, beware! You will
carry hence a red hand ; there will be
blood upon it, and the ’ dark spot. can
never be wiped out: You ,now thirst
for blood, and my blood you can have,
bat tum® where you will, this foul deed
will haunt you through the world.’
I was pn alluding to those who had
wronged me, and . will give .you all my
of a number, on
the 8th day of November on a piece of paper. I want you to preserve it, and if Iam
wrong, then God.is my judge: that it is
unintentional. I shall ask the good
ple of this county to forgive me, as I shall
forgiveall. The black flag is hoistedover
me and let it Wave,”
Rosent §. Dona.
We give the letter as nearly as possible,
just as it. was written, only correcting the
orthography.

natural basin, (whose diameter will not at
smooth plain, and surrounded wit
copse.of wood. _ There are po indications
to lead tothe ‘supposition that it wasoccasioned by any eruption of a voleanic or
rounding country, as well as the immediate neighborhood of the cave itself, is
wholly free of stones, ruggedness and other marks of convulsive action. When first
discovered and brought into notite by Cols.
Barrow and MeKinley, in 1986 or 1837, the
orifice of the cave was three or four feet
larger. Col. McKinley proposed explorin
it, but in atte mpting to sound it with lea
and line he failed to touch bottom; and
gave up the undertaking as too hazardous
for further yentare., ‘Phe present mouth
of the cave is about one and a half feet. in
diameter, through which, at one period of
the day, there issues a strong current of
air, not in puffs, but a continuous stream,
with a roar that is-heard at a distance of
60 or 70 yards. In the Winter of 1864, in
company wih several ladies, I visited the
caverat the time ofits blowing out >and by
way of experiment, one of the ladies threw
her veil into the mouth of it, which was
biown into the air to the height of six or’
seven feet. Ithen threw my hat—a heavy
woolen one—into it with a like result.—
Several articles heavier than either of the
above were tried, but immediately expelled. At another period of the day the suction is relatively-as great. Any ‘Tight ar:
ticle held near the orifice is instantly
drawn into the cave. Dr. Cotton, the
State Geolorist, a gentleman of high scientific ability. visited it-at the solicitation
of Cols McKinley and Batrow, and gave it
as his opinion, that these reversed pheriomena was caused by the ebb and flow of the
tide, and that the cave was originally one
of the fathomless lime sinks so uumerous
in‘that portion of Georgia.

“TERRIBLE FAMINE IN InDIA.—Advices
from Calcutta give heart-rending accounts
of the famine in the provinces. of pag
and vaery No less than 75,000 pe
sons are daily fed by public charity, ia it
is estimated that an equal number are
supplied privately, chiefly by the Hindoos.
The gh aa of deaths from starvation
averages 2,500 per week, and one week
reached 3,500! Dadian thesemany die
in the interior whose cases are not reported. Accounts appear daily in the papers,
reported by eye-witnesses, of the. jackals
eating the corpse of one wretch whilethey
wait for his companion who is dying, or of
the child taken from the breast of its mother, who has been dead two days. What
is worse, the sufferi of the people have
been aggravated by tive outrageous if not
criminal mismanagement of the English
officials, who ‘discouraged the efforts of
private charity and refuted to exert themselves to relieve the famine before-it became so wide-spread and alarming. The.
famine began «in: October : last; ae the .
failure of a rice crop, and even now the
efforts ot the authori Hes are, inadequate to
meet the emergency,and the poor Hingloos
ure perighing by thousand.
ELoQuENT ‘PAssace.—The finest thing . .
George D. Prentice ever wrote is whfe inimitable passage:
Tt cantiot bé' that Sart “18 “Man's ‘only
abiding place. It cannot be that our life
isa bubble cast up by the’ dcean ‘of ‘eter:
nity to float a monient upon its waves,
and sink into nothingness: “Else why is
it, the high and glorious'aspirations; which
leap like angels.frem .the wcpple; of our
hearts, are forever wandering unsatisfied?
Why is it that the rainbow and cloud
come over us with a beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass off toleave us to
muse on théir loveliness? Why is it that .
the stars which “hold thei ‘it festival around
thermidnight throne,” are’ set above the
& grURp of out Himited factiltiés; forever
niccking ns with ‘their unapproachable
glory? “And, finally, why is itthat bright
forms yt juan beauty are presented to
our Viewsarnd tiken from us, leaving the
thousand streanis Of Ot affections to flow
back in as uipine torrent. apon our hearts?
We are bern for a higher destiny than
that of earth, There is # -realm twhere
the rainbow never fades; where the stars
will be spread out:before us like the
islands that slumber on. the ocean, and
where the beautiful beings which pass before us, like shadows, mail wits forever in
our presence. ‘
