CHASE AND CAPTURE.-A tearnster from U1natilla,
named B. Poole, who came here last week with full
freight to some Of merchants, attempted to get
away without paying his lawful assessments to the
County Assessor after having promised that he would
timely call at the Office and SETTLE But he violated his
word, and tried the dodge game. He got away Sun
day morning about 9 O'Clock At IL O'Clock, Thomas
Foye, Deputy Assessor and Collector, started after
him. He was told at Buena Vista that Poole boast
ed, on leaving that he had "played the Collector.
Mr. Foye, after hard riding, overlook his at the
Minnehaha Ranch, twelve miles from town, just as
ne was starting away from that roadside house. He
stopped Poole and asked him for his assessment
Poole put whip to his team Foye then had recourse
to more positive means, and the affair ended by Poole
getting down from his wagon, paying up his full as
sessment and also additional for the trouble
and costs he had caused the officer.
Fred. W. Bell another of Assessor ard Collector
Brittens deputies. also made successful chase of
another defau1tng individual lone G. F. Buck, who
had train of fory-wo pack animals which he brought
from Umatilla with freight to this city, Placerve and
Pioneer City Buck had, like Poole, promised to call
at Mr. Brittens Office and pay up his assessment and,
like Poole. SO had he off without doing so. Dep
uty Bell started after him. overlook him at Harris toll
house over the Payette road and from there Buck
returned to PlacerviIle with him. The discounted
packer tried hard to escape the payment but he had
to pungle and cost him pretty penny for the tex
tras to which he had subjected the Assessor in per-
forming his duty. Packers and teamsters. peddlers
and all others, who justly become liable for assess
ments here, can save money trouble and reputation
by paying up in every instance. Mr. Britten and his
wide-awake deputies don tet any defauler get away
without paying

The Lesson Taught by Georgia.

IF South Carolina had taken the advice
OF John G. Calhoun and built continen-
tai railroad westward to Knoxville, Char
lesion would have become the great sea
port of the Atlantic for the Southern
States. What South Carolina lost by
failing to take the advice of the old man
Calhoun, Georgia gained BY taking the
advice ofthe young man Alex, Fl. Ste
phens. Georgia became the Empire
State of the South, and South Carolina
became the cauldron Of politicians. 1t is
4 notable fact that when preacher, a
lawyer or a doctor fails in his profession,
he turns politician and keeps lis friends
in stew till he dies. So when State
drops internal improvements and turns
old fogy, we may expect to find a politi-
cal conservatism which holds on to old
things without learning new. So it was
with South Carolina.
Neglecting the advice of Calhoun, she
hung on to dead theory instead Of
reaching forward to a live. fact She ar
gued that internal Improvements by a
State would, under any circumstances,
ruin the people, and persistently shut
her eyes to the fact that Boston, with her
Western railroad to Albany; New York,
with her Central railroad and canal; Bal
timore, with her Ohio: road; Pennsylva,
MIA, vi ith her PittSburg road, and Georgia,
with ber State road, all prove that State
aid to railroads, under some circumstan.
ces, would not only not ruin the people,
but build up metropolises and empires.
And so South Carolina, and, perhaps,
Alabama, talked politics, while Georgia
dug dirt. The result has been, what
Atlanta, which was wood station when
Montgomery was town. is now city,
whilst Montgomery is still town. By
a recent census, Atlanta is found to have
a population of2O,228, being about 1000
more than Montgomery.
How do we account for the growth of
Atlanta and the other towns upon the
State road, which can boast of no natu-
raj advantages? The solution of the
enigma stares US in the face Boston,
New York, Baltimore, and every large
Western city has solved it. It is the
completion, by State assistance, of a
great continental railroad, connecting the
Seaport of the State with the great living
laboring, throbbipg heart of the North
west.
Let the Legislature of Alabama see to
it-that what Calhoun saw in his old
age, and what Stephens saw in his
youth-that wealth, enterprise, State
stability and State independence must
draw their sinews from the great West
may be made the purpose Of Alabama.

President Johnson.

The Charleston News, in a short and
intsrestingreview shows that the position
of President johnson is one Of sublimity
Neither the cry of faction, the contumeIy
and reproach of,the corrupt and selfish,
the threats of impeachment hanging ii
terroFem, nor the offer ofimmense pat
sonage and power, can swerve him. Mr.
johnson thus far, has proven to the
worldthat he shirks not responsibility,
and cannot beintimidated. History car
show no precedent.
A cotemporary draws the following paral
lei: "The conspirators who near the
foot of Pompey's s statute thrust their dag
gers to- the heart Of the ambitious Caesar
thus punished him for too ready, an &C
ceptance of the purple of royalty. Bu'
Congress proposes to immediate the Pres
ident because he will not become, with
his FIVE brigadier subordinates, a despot
over the ten Southern States"

The Situation.

I The following views of "the situation
we take from the Yorkville Enquirer. II
gi 1T in a nutshell, and comedies near
| lg with the press generally. One thing
! is certain, the Radical party will carry
out their ends, and the policy decided
upon, no matter what the course of the
South.
The immediate effect Of the Military
Bill is to make our present State govern
ment provisional, and as such, subject to
alteration by Congress. In addition, a
brigadicr- general will soon be sent here,
who will become in fact, the executive
officer of the State, and it will be in bis
power to suspend or allow the working
of civil tribunals. But without his
consent, the decisions of courts and the
verdictS of juries have no effect. The
whole framework of our social organiza-
ton is dissolved, and we are turned over,
in a state of chaos, to the authority of a
military governor, under the nominal
control of the President.
Negro suffrage is forced upon US; in
every election that is held, even under
our provisional government, the right to
vote is extended TO every citizen, twenty
one years old and upward, of whatever
race or color, except disfranchiSed
"rebels." This also involves the dis
franchisement CT a part Of our citizens,
whether we consent to it or not.-ln
short, We are bound hand and foot, and
thus delivered 10 despotism which
mingles civil authority exercised by Con-
gress, with military authority in the
hands of an irresponsible brieadier. The
only alternatives presented to our choice
are: -,
lst. Shall we ratify these terms by
our own consent, and form State con-
stitution containing negro, suffrage and
partial white disfranchisement?or
I'd. Shall-w endure the same evils as
something that cannot be helped, and
remain in the status Of military provinces? !?
Confiscation is threatened as penalty
for refusal to accept these terms; but, on
the other hand, there is danger that a
convention formed for the purpose of
re-modelIing the constitution, may in
aict the same penalty, as reward for
acceptance. A convention elected By the
voters qualified randcy this act, would
represent many constituents who greatly
desire a division Of property Not salts
fed with freedom, they want property,
and many of them would, if in their
power, confscate every dollar owned
by rebel. IN
Our political rights have been praeti:
cclly destroyed; We have left only the
rights of person and property, and we
are threatened with loss of these. Ncr
is there any escapein remaining passive; !;
for If we refuse to call convention, 9TH
ers may do it for US. ~ - .-
In this emergency, we confess our
selves unwilling to assume the response
bility af giving advice, or exciting ray
of hope. We are on the eve Of a great
social revolution-God grant that it be
not reign Of terror! But, surrounded
BY the CLEAN of tie bayonct on every
side, .Aanked, cut off, hemmed in, and
powerless- to save themselves, the people
of the South are,in desperate situation.
May they be endowed from on high with
wisdom to act, AMI fortitude to bear, in
this, the crisis of their fate.

worthy Of deep consideration. He says:
.se"As to -politics-if the South, without

letting the blacks vote, they can end the

And, in the hollows, see Ia.

Their messages to me. ..-',.,
And thus, CLEAN from cleaning isles
OF sunset in the West;
From wavings of untirings wings
That will not go to rest;
From spells of fragrance spiced afar,
And peeping spears of green,
And silver bugles in the wlnd,

know it by the hyacinths Z
Which DOW begin to blow,
That Winter, on his.icy bed,
Is dead or nearly so. ..-...--

In clarifying showers!

A county that will acquies ee, in a
time of universal peace, in a measure de-
liberately abrogating the Constitution
and laws in toto over half the nation,
yet affecting to keep them in force in the
other half, is a country ignorant of its
own constitution, and, therefore, incapa-
bic of a saving faith in it. Such a people
are ripe for selfabasement, and in immi-
nent peril of their freedom.-Extract.
