Ia5~ Congress adjourned on Saturday
last, after having labored diligently, and
we think the result will prove success
fully, for the perfect and permanent paci.
hcation of the country. Already the note
of acquiescence is being heard in the
South-the active and ostracised rebels
being most strenuous in their exhortations
to the people, black as well as white. to
accept the situation. None but Copper
heads in the North and the fuss and
feather" men, the men who were call
gass and no cider" in the South find
fault with Congress; and even the more
sensible of the former are urging the
weaker spirits to cave in. Except among
the Office holders, and those who are seek
ing Office, A. j. finds but few willing to
stand by his fallen fortunes.

psa. The hauling of wagon loads Of
household and kitchen furniture through
our streets, and the active movements OF
business men, all gave assurance, on
Monday last, that the first of April had
arrived. In the houses of the movers
there was promiscuous clearing out OF
pots and kettles and barrels and beds and
every thing movable; while from the
pocket-books of the debtors greenbacks
fairly leaped forth to swell the Golfers OF
the creditors. Take it all in all, men
and maidens and matrons, and rats and
mice and bed bugs, and all interested in
the toll and turmoil of moving day, found
themselves, when Monday night came, Q
tired set of critters. We did not move
but We sympathised with those who did
and we can yet be found at the old spot
ready to enter new names on our sub
scription- book, or to sign beautifully prin-
ted receipts for all who wish to liquidate
arrears

The Macon (Ga) Journal takes a SEN
sible view of President johnson and his
course, and gives expression thereto in q
iorcible way, thus
Andrew Johnson has at last yielded
Thank God for it He has done us an
immense deal of harm; crippled us when
our armies were in the field; rejected the
terms which Grant and Sherman gave
US, and then, at last, has kept sectional
hate and animosity stirred up against Us
by his unwise course and his foolish con
flict with Congress aud Northern senti
ment.
And now we hope President John
sons opposition to the Government will
cease. He has opposed it so long, and
induced our people to oppose it 50 long,
holding out to Us the false idea that he
would do something for US, that he has
done us infinitely more harm than all
other men and all other causes combined
But for him we would long ago have
been admitted into the Union, and upon
far better terms than we shall now be
able 10 obtain. He has been the most el-
fective enemy we have had"

Horrible Indian Massacre Butcaery Oh
a Company of U. S. TrOeps-Unpafal-

We are kindly permitted to make the
following extract from letter dated Fort
Sully, d. T., February %, 1867, and re-
ceived in this city on Saturday.-ED IN
oUIRER.
There has been quite stirring ex-
element in this part of the country with
the redskins. suppose you know OF
the Fort Kearney affair also. You ask
me how far it is from US? 1t is about
fifteen hundred miles northwest from
here BY the upper mail, which arrived
here to-day, We heard some very bad news
from Fort Buford. There was one company
of our regiment stationed there, under the
command of Colonel Rankins The In
dians made an attack on that little band
and it appears from all accounts that they
fought brayely until outnumbered by the
redskins, who killed them all but The
Colonel and wife. They then took then
few yards from the post, and having
built fire, tied the Colone's hands anC
feet aud put him on the fire, while hi
wife was compelled to see him burning 2
After that was done they maltreated he
in shameful manner, and having rolle'
. her up in buffalo robe, they fas'enet
her on a wild horse and turned him loose
, God only knows how long she was on tn
prairie, but it happened very fortunately
that the mail carriers forth at fort encouu
tered her in that condition, and after the
; had heard who she was they took her i
r their charge and returned with her and tn
mals-to Fort Rice.
The Indians were 1900 strong-ou
0 men only SO. They fought them thre
days; bat on the third day the Indian
took the place, scalped all the dead, an
those who were officers they cut up int
e small pieces and ate them. That is cor
sidered bravery. 1t will not be good fC

DEMOCRATIC FoREBoDINGs.-The following
is from the New York correspondence OF the
Charleston Mercury and gives an analysis OF
the situation of the Democratic organization
with respect to the next Presidential election.
1t will be found of great interest, showing
how much farther into the future the real
leaders of the party look than the local politi-
clans who shout themselves hoarse over ward
victory:
The Democratic leaders expect to make
heavy gains and defeat negro suffrage amend
ments everywhere at the ensuing elections
But now comes the most curious part of all
The leaders in New York are sharp enough to
see that this does not influence the Presiden-
tai election OF next year. In fact, they really
fear the effect of this years successes on the
rank and lille OF the party. If the Democratic
masses, flushed with victory should insist, as
thousands of them will. upon the nomination
to offices OF pronounced men, such as Pendle-
ton, Vallandigham, Thomas F. Seymour, Jas.
w. Wall, or other well known Democrats, the
leaders feel assured that certain defeat will
await them; for the most they rely upon is a
reduction of the Republican vote, not an in
crease in the Democratic. The whiskey cor
ruption, other revenue frauds and maladmin-
istration of the finances have brought on
apathy in the Republican ranks, and hence the
latter will not vote in their usual numbers dur
ing the coming. elections. But the question
that next arises is, how will this large silent
mass of voters cast their ballots next year
when political passions reused to their ut
most.
The thing is clear. A II other matters being
equal, they will vote the Radical ticket. The
leaders here in New York, who, as above stat
ed, held their conferences lately, cannot by
any possibility figure out Democratic Presi-
dental victory, no matter what changes may
take place during October and November. OF
O llvtfr h,J
if the South still remains unreconstructed; ii
the Radicals insist upon Impeachment; if the
management of the finances should create a
panic, or some other administrative blunder be
committed, the Democrats would certainly
gain advantages; but, as above said, all other
things being equal, Democratic leaders to-day
believe that the odds are largely against them,
in the Presidential race at least.
The Portland daily press., 1867-10-04
Foreign Items.

European news by steameris to the 10Th ult.,
by the Bremen line. Notwithstanding the re-
port that the Emperor Napoleon win pay a
visit to Berlin during October, public opinion
in Paris, not only in military, but in civil cir
eles, continued TO exhibit warlike tendency.
Many persons, it is said, have made up their
minds that there must be a war with Prussia,
and as it is Inevitable, the sooner it is over the
better. 1t is estimated in some quarters that
the visit of M. de Goltz to Biaaritz has a far
more important object in view than the mere
invitation the Emperor of the French to
Berlin. One writer says that cit is probable
the Prussian Minister has been instructed to
insist on some categorical explanations from
France respecting the increasing ornaments
on the Rhenish frontier, the concentration of
troops in the northeastern provinces, and 9TH
er warlike determination, and to intimate the
firm demonstration of the King of Prussia to
tolerate no interference whatever by France
with any Interpretation which Prussia and
Austria please to put on the treaty OF Prague"
The notion of an Imperial visit to Berlin APP
pears to be exploded by an article in the new
Prussian Cross Gazette of the 10th, which
says that there is nothing to Justify the suppo-
sition that such journey by the Emperor Ma
poleon is expected.
The English papers contain no word about
the Spanish insurrection since the Times set
it down as crushed. For all this the French
papers speak of small bands of insurgents still
traversing the peninsula, which small bands,
like snowballs, may become any day big
enough to form an avalanche. There is no
doubt that for the present there is a suspicion
of extensive revolutionary movements; and
that Naryaez is playing sanguinary game
with the compromised.
The London correspondent of the Edinburgh
Scotsman is answerable for the report that the
Earl of Derby viii probably soon resign the
Premiership on the ground of ill health. He
also points to Lord Stanley OF Mr.. Disraeli as
most likely to succeed to the office, the latter
for choice.
The London Globe understands that Gener-
al Garibald had definitely refused the invita-
ton to be present at the Reform banquet at
the Crystal Palace, fixed for the 3Oth instant
on the ground that he does not know what
matters may be then engaging his attention in
Italy.
