Soldiers Ordered Away.

The soldiers stationed at Columbia,
under the command of Msjor Frederick,
have received marching orders. Twenty
regiments are to be mustered out of ser
vice, and the Foriy-ifth seems to be one
of the number. Upon hearing of the in
tended departure of the troops, the citi-
zeus of Columbia addressed communi-
cation to Msjor Fredericks, expressive OF
their appreciation of the good conduct,
discipline and courtesy which have
marked the soldiery in their intercourse
with the people, and assuring that officer
of the esteem and confidence of the citi-
zsus geuerally.-Nashuiile Union and

ProgresstnE Rackwards.

From late Washington advces we
learn that the Reconstruction Committee
has instructed its Chairman TO report o
bill remanding Georgia to a Territorial
condition. This bill abelshes the con-
stitutional State legislature, and again
puts in operation the original legislature
or the one called by Congress. The test
oath is imposed again by the provisions
of this bill, and the expulsion of colored
members is declared contrary to law.
We would simply ask, what right has
Congress to declare State out OF the
Union after it has been accepted
as a member of the confedera-
ton ? Certainly Congress has turned
secessiopist, or expulsionist we should
say, which is no better. Georgia COM
piled in every respect with the demands
ofthe Reconstruction law, and was again
admitted into the Radical union of
States. ErfIt 9Ef
Then what has she done that her State
prerogatives should be taken from her 7
Nothing more than to exercise the right
to say that negroes should not hold office.
The reconstruction law did not say that
a negro should be eligible to Office, but
only that be should exercise the elective
franchise. Then the Georgia Legislature
did nothing more than they had right
to do. Being q State in the Union, the
people had the privilege of regulating
their internal affairs as they saw PROPER.
But no, the Georgia people, with all the
restrictions placed upon them by
Congress, did not do as was thought by
Mr.. Yankee they should.
Go back and do your work over, ye
statesmen and ssges in Congress. With
one or two more efforis you may succeed
in having things as You desire, if not in
accordance with law or justice. But, by
way of suggestion, we would say that
you had as well do way with this sham
peoples government at once, for when
ever you entrust the people South with
the power to govern they will do as they !
like, and not in accordance with the
views of New England's nutmeg
grinders.
This state of things can scarcely exist |
much longer, aud we predict complete |
Capitalization or an empire. The EN-
pire is peace, as the LEDGER suggested
Immediately after the election Of Grant
Then let us have tit matters not how
soon. The requirements of the ruler
should be that be be intelligent and have
the interests of his subjects at heart, and
that be govern according to the dictates
of justice. Better such a government
than the bligbting rule of Rsdicslism.

Elmwood Cemetery.

These grounds have been greatly i'm
proved and identified within the last
three years at heavy expense to the con-
pany, and being nov accessible by street
railroad, it would well repay the citizens
generality to visit them.
An erroneous impression seems to pre-
vail that the object of the company lie
speculation and profit. This is not cor
rect. This cemetery was established as
public necessity and no; for specula-
ton. This is distinctly stated in the
original articles OF associationi and placed
on record and strictly adhered to. 1t
would be only necessary to converse with
the Superintendent in charge (who is in
no way interested) TO have such mistaken
ideas dissipsied. Improvements have
been made and are still making on every
hssd, aud on 4 most liberal scale.
Ever since the establishment Of the
cemetery only q dividend Of ten per
cent. per aunnm upon the stock has been
declared all receipts over that amount
have gone to improve, enlarge and
beanlify the grounds; and even that
dividend has nat been paid for years

ciated by lot owners. The Elmwood
