our mill and engine constantly since We received
il. We are cutting from 5000 to 5000 feet per
day. Everything works splendid. Nota journal
heated or anything else gone wrong since we
started We saw oak and pine logs that are so
large that our saw won't reach through. The
little engine drives the saw through with as
apparent ease ~ though the log was not half 90
large. We are quite satisfied that We can cut
10000 feet per day.

Judge Story well said: Republics are created
by the virtue, public spirit and intelligence of
the citizens. They fall when the wise are BAN
ished from the public councils because they
dare to be honest and when the prohigate are

words seem, when we take a glance at the pres

For the Spectator.
TALLADEGA Co., ALABAMA
Nav 18th 1868.

To the Editors of the Stanton Spectator
Messrs. Editors In my last letter [ simply
stated the reasons why we did not vote the Con-
stitution down at the same time, while defend
ing the people of Alabama in not voting on the
so called constitution, I heartily agree with you
in advising the people of Virginia to cote down
the Constitution placed before them They have
majority of white men in their state who are
not aoslling to be governed by the negro And
they have, too, few Democratic nc groes in the
state who will vote with their masters, to keep
the state from falling into Radical hands, while
the state of Alabama has only 5 or Democratic
negroes in it. The people of Virginia have the
advantage of having Conservative boards of
compelled to have their names registered or
refused by Radical boards of Registration.
Sometimes when attempting to vote they
found that their names had been stricken off
the registration lists. The boards of registra-
ton registered every negro from fifteen years
and upwards while they often refused to regis
ter the names of white men who were not dis
franchised, because it was certain that they
would vote against the Radical party The
Conservatives of Virginia have added twenty
thousand names to the registration lists, while
the Registrars of Alabama have stricken off
thousands The people of Virginia have by
their promptness and activity inundated the
negroes as well as their fanatical leaders, while
the people of Alabama instead of going to work
at once and keeping the Radical yankees out
of the state, left the negroes to manage their
own affairs, and tired to repair their shattered
fortunes And in conclusion [ would say, that
if Mr.. Letchcr would put little less in his
paper about the hen nests In Lexington which
have been robbed since the war, he would have
little more room, to advise the people of Vir-
ginia about the so:caled constitution placed be-
fore them, and let that foolish precedent"
alone Very truly Yours $500

The eleventh article of impeachment, which
was added to the original articles through the
agency of old Thad after the others had been
adopted in the House, and on which the vote
was taken on last Saturday, alleges. in SUBJ
stance, that in a speech in Washington, In
August last, ''the President declared that the
Thirty-ninth Congress was not Congress OF the
United States, authorized by the constitution
to exercise legislative power under the same,
but, on the contrary, was Congress Of only
one part of the States, thereby denying and III
tending to deny that the legislation of Con-
gress was valid or obligatory upon, Except

in pursuance of said declaration attempting to
