The surprise and indignation which
would be naturally excited in the bos-
oms Of the rioters by this order can be
readily imagined. Governor Seymour
promised that the Constitutionality of
the draft should be tested in the civil
courts Of the State. If the draft shall be
executed in spite Of these fair promises
on the part Of Seymour, and in violation
Of the announcement made by Colonel
Nugent, these people will arise with re
doubled fury in opposition to its execu-
ton, and their example will be followed
in various parts of the North. The draft
will be of no benefit to Lincoln, but may
be ofimmense value to us.
Before the riot was over the New
York Herald reported the casualties as
follows: Negroes killed and wounded,
$50; policemen, 80; men, women and
children, IS total, 21S.
On the 21st, the 10Th ward station

q number of citizens of Augusta and

urge the Governor to become candidate

says: gvT 40 ss--- s
while we have no reason to despair
of ultimate success, which is certain, if
we are turn to ourselves, and humbly
place our trust in God, we all feel that
the period is one of darkness and gloom,
and that there is demand for the most
energetic efforts of our ablest, wisest and
most experienced statesmen, to guide US
safely through the storm"
Referring to his controversy with JEFF
Davis, he says:
"Having entered into this revolution
in defense of the great doctrine of States
rights and States sovereignty, we would
be untrue to ourselves and our posterity
were we to permit these great fundamen-
tai principles to be disregarded or tram
pied under foot, at any time, by any one,
no matter what may be his position.
while, however, We should restrain
the Confederate Government within the
limit assigned by the Constitution, We
should, at all times, sustain it with tie
last dollar and the last man, if need be,
in the just exercise of its rightful, consti-
tutional jurisdiction. And We should
never, under any circumstances, consent
to a reconstruction of the Union, or to
any political union with the Abolition
States, upon any terms whatever. Nor
should we ever lay down our arms till
the independence of these Confederate
States is Internationally recognized.
