Many who are familiar with inc
|Southern newspaper press before the
war, and have become acquainted with
It since, are astonishcd at its vast inn
provement in size, mechanical eXecu-}
ton and editorial ability. But they
are.amazed, above all, at the quantity
of advertisements. Selecting from
fey exchanges at random, one of our
contemporaries lately counted IN the

vertisements IN the Memphis Chronicle,

Using and in the New Orleans Cres-
cent, 50 out of So, The same extraor-
binary activity is noticeable in all the
Southern newspapers. The smaller
towns have each their two or tn zee
d: i les running over with the wants, &C.,
of the business community and the
character of these advertisements is no
less suggestive than their number:
In fine, the business columns Of the
Southern newspapers indicate that the

The Trial of Admiral SemmeS.

A letter has been received in Savan.
nah from a gentleman in Washington,
which states that there is no truth in
the report that a naval court had been
ordered for the trial of Mr.. iSemmes,
now confined at the Washington Navy
Yard. 1t is the intention Of the Gov
eminent to have that gentleman tried,
but there are so many important points
involved in the specifications against
him, that the authorities are unwilling
to take any steps in the matter without
giving all the most careful considera-
ton. 1t is not generally known, per,
haps, that the Admiral is a thorough
bred lawyer, and during a brief career
as q member ofthc bar in Alabama, he
acquired much distinction for profess
sional learning and forensic eloquence.
His frequent appearances as Judge adj
yocate before naval courts-martial
prior to his retirement from the United
States, and his assignment to the com
mand of the first Confederate man Of
war, the Sumter" attest his remarka-
BILE familiarity also with naval jurisprl-
dence and international law.

The Issue Stated.

What is the real issue between the
President and the radicals in Congress?
Is it merely a difference of opinion on
the plan of governing orprotccting the
negro? MOI at all ; it is a matter of
far more consequence. s. $. Cox, in
his recent speech at the Washington
veto ratification meeting, thus tersely
stated the present political issues (:
"The conflict now is between bureau
ocracy and Democracy between the
rump and the executive : between State
existance and State destruction; be-
tween Constitution and anarchy; be-
tween liberty ordered by law and lib
erty disordercdb by radicalism between
Union and disunion; between perpet-
ual peace and incessant agitation"
Nothing could be more clearly and
more truthfully stated. And now let
us ask il there can be any compromise
of opinions SO opposite to each other !?
There cannot we must either have
peace and law and order at once, orthe
Constitution will be a dead letter. The
majority in Congress must yield to the
wishes of the President, or but little
will be done the present session, and
the people will have to wait until they
can make themselves heard through the
~ballot-box. The radicals say we are
vet in a state Of war, while President
johnson says; "It is now time of
peace, and let us have peace: let us en-
large the Constitution; let us live un-
der and according to its provisions !; let

The Richmond Times discourses of

H sI
The Richmond Times discourses Of
Major General b. f. Butler, in a style
less d~eferential and complimentary
than it might be: We republish its re.
marks for the benefit of a certain Ten
nessee Colonel, who sometimes i'm
aeincs himself to have done and suf-
fered much in putting down the rebel
lion. Should his fame ever happen to
reach Richmond, the Times might be
tempted to deal with him, mutatis mu-
tandis, in the following fashion:
The last character assumed by this
great and good man, Butler, is that Of
an Avenger in hot pursuit Of General
Robt. E Lee. We are informed he
says if "General is not punished" then
has he { Butler) "shed his blood in
vain" Several interesting questions
arise at this point. When and where
did Butler "shed' any blood during the
course of the war? Was it at Big
Bethel Was it at Bermuda Hundreds ?
Was it at Fort Fisher? Did anybody
ever hear Of even q cats scratching
him in New Orleans? Did q splinter
even stick in him while ruling Norfolk
and Portsmouth /? Not that we ever
heard Of, and we have kept the "run"r
of Butler. .i.l .fl. ..'o.. f55.ru
Yet this pure patriot, who believes
that money ~ 'sthe root of all evil"
and has been doing his best to extir-
pate the "root" wherever he has been,
says he has lost blood" If Butler
really has lost blood, even a teaspoon
full, (no reflection intended in using
this word then we agree that General
Lee shall pay him back, drop for drop,
the amount expended; and we will
moreover guarantee that it shall be q
better article than what he alleges he
has "shed." Ifhe can even establish
that ever his nose lied during the war,
he shall be reimbursed with an equal
amount of blood, far better than his
own. Can any proposition be faircr.
But, at the same time, VT respectfully
suggest that he shall repay those whom
he has made bleed we do not mean in
battle, of course,) in various portions
of the suffering South. When there
is any talk of blood, Butler ought to
remember that (outside of any bleeding
performed in battle) he owes about as
much rs he. can ever pay. We do not
ask him to pay for, any blood shed by
him in actual warfare, because VIZ hon
estly believe he is as innocent as q
babe unborn of. ever having split a
drop.-[Union and American.

PoLIrlcs sill run high in the church

for elders on Monday evening last, in
the First Presbyterian church. Two
tickets were prcsentcd--one u so-called
Copperhead, and the other a Union
ticket. The organization of the meet
ing was delayed two hours, during
which the most exciting scenes occur
red. The ladies took sides and Kissed
their opponents. Rev. DIR. Anderson,
pastor, read from the laws and usages
of the church, that none but commune
cants could vote, while the Copper
heads held and insisted that the pew
holders had a right to vote for eldors.
During the excitement chairs were
overturned, ladies screamed, and blows
were about to be struck, when a po-
llceman made his appearance. DIR.
Anderson urged peaceful proceedings,
and succeeded in organizing by calling
in a chairman acceptable to both par
ties Ballotting then proceeded, and
resulted in the triumph of the Union
teacher. The church will now be or
ganized on a Union basis.
