James L. SeWard, of Georgia,' was' for Mk years a member of Congress, from 18.53 to 1850, and was ono 4f the ablest and most reasonable of the 11'.2ou them RePresent.atives. He is still, liv ing in ,southern Georgia where he holds a high social position• andi pos sesses great personal influence. He re-. eently made a speech at Atlanta to a large audience, in which he stated' the trtithabout the South and furnished a complete answer to the clamor. - of the Copperheads against Reconstruction.— Here is a report of his remarks : FELLOW-CUIZENS.-.1 appear before you as a Georgian to speak to Georgi ans; to address you on the great ques :tions before the country. I desire to wound the feelings of no one. I wish I to address your reason, and not your passions. Do you know that you are upon the eve of a revolution ? I tell you it is so.' I' was in the Charleston Convention when the late revolution was inauguf,ated. opposed secession then, and was denounced for it.—What is the result ? To-day we are the poor est people in the world. If (lens. Toombs and Cobb made so sad a mis take then, I warn you not to follow them now. You followed them through 'four"years of bloody war, which has l'eft, the eountry filled with widows and orphans, deprived of means of support, and .ou r people a conquered and oppress ed race. But I forgive them, and will not say that they were not patriotic ; but 'they made a mistake. While at Washington, in 1861, they were contin ually sending telegraphic dispatches ad vising Georgia, •to secede. I don't charge them with crime, but I do say they made a mistake then, and are un safe leaders now. Public liberty is lost, and how shall we regain it ? We arc a conquered people / and must accept such terms as the conqueror dictates.— I assert that Andrew Johnson put Worse terms on us than the Radical par ty has ever imposed. He appointed a Provisional Governor ; a convention was called'; the ordinance of secession annulled a Legislature an d State ..$11111....347 bat tually required, , at the point of the bay , onet, that we should abolish slavery af ter it had been abolished by military power and the proclathation of the President. ,The reconstruction acts of Congress were not the first terms submitted to the people of the South. We rejected the-first and most liberal terms sub mitted to us, thus still showing a spirit of opposition to the Government. The reason why these reconstruction laws were imposed upon us was • that the Northern people believed the Southern leaders were opposed to reconstruction. , All of this has been the result of the teachings of such men as Toombs, Cobb and Ben Hill. If y, o u accept the constitutional amendment, known as Article Four teen, you will, by that means, put the suffrage question in the hands of the people of the State. Ido not look upon the enfranchise ment of the uegroes in the same light as Toombs, Cobb, and other 'leaders of the Democratic party do. They take the'Position that the enfranchisement of the negro degrades the white man. The elevation of the negro does not degrade the white man. , And I tell you, colored people, if the North says you Pave the right to vote in the South, and a lmit you to the rights of citizens, you live the right to demand that they admi you to the same rights and priv iley,in the North. 1 don't admit s,, that the Southern people are inferior to any, race on the earth. We are conquer ed, aad the North has put harsh meas ures upon us, but let us accept them, and get the State under the control of the people of the State. The fourteenth article will become a part - of the Con stitution whether Georgia adopts it or not. North and South Carolina and Florida will soon adopt it, and whether Georgia adopts it or not, if she returns to the Union she will have to accept it,' But the dentobracy think if Seymour is elected these reconstruction measures will be set aside. Well, let , us see.— Suppose they elect, Seymour, together with a majority in the House of Repre= sentatives ; they can't change' the Sen ate for four, years to conic. Then what will they do ? Will they inaugurate a revolution with Seymour at the head and take possession of the government, anti turn the Senate out? If so, why Las not Andy Johnson, as Commander iniChief of the Army and Navy, done This heretofore ? I tell you the people Of North will stand by the government, and no matter what they tell you about 'lighting for your rights, in opposition to the government, they will not do it when the test comes. We aredeceived by that cry in, 1861. .I tell you if they can't get 7 . nybody else to fight you, they will ight you with the panners.of Europe and the negroes. - , , •IThemegre is a dangerous politicateler rfient, in this con utry, because they ,are abused, driven to it. All of this is the result of the teachings og such' men as Bilk ToOmbs and cofib. , Let them Stop their abusive,harangues and my word for it, the miitary cs , ill be remov ed from Georgia iu sixty days. The press,-alsoj has been a great power i 0 engenderif g strife in Georgia. It, has' endeavore to arouse all the bad pass ions of th people in these trying times. Let us cea. e this strife accept the condi Lions ( ons impo.ed upon us with the !Jest grace Possible, and restore the people and the State again to peace and pros perity. (t people want peace, and I fid n feel cont that a majority of them are satisfied that if the acceptance of the reconstruction measures' would re-' store peace,,they would say accept it.

Editor of the lyashington Chronicle: Sir,; The bright sun .of the 3d of May, 1864, saw the Army ,of the Potomac. wifiding its ' way across the Rapidan into "the Wildernesa." • The subse quoit clash of the two armies came On Thursday the 4th of, May, with what result is well knewn.' The'morning of thealfth came, and thus far we could only say, "we have met tbeenem; we have measured swords; , the los has been fearful on either side, but W have not yet crushed the Army of Virginia." Before us, battered and sore, lay Lee's veterans beaten back from most of their former positions, but strongly fortified behind breastworks, and lacking not a whit of that terrible desperation which they had exhibited for three long years of blood, and full of confidence in their ability to re Peal any' attack; a dense forest surrounded us on all sides, and behind us rolled the Rapidan; au at tempt to eross.whieh, in case of adefeat; would have been equivalent to annihi lation. Repulsed again and again, with'bad roads, with the dark pine woods literally. blue with our dead and wounded, it was positively necessary to do one or two things—to retreat, or to endeavor, by a flank movement, to turn'Lee's right. To think of fighting further, after it had been clearly de monstrated that an Army of twice our number could not dislodge the enemy, would have been olly. Pleaded with to retreat across the Rapidan by a n um ber of prominent eneral officers Gen eral Grant.refused to listen to the prop osition and said : entlemen t I cannot consider your recomniendation ;• my course doesn't lie An that direction ' it lies toward Richmond." I The forenoon of the (lay referred to pass away with no battle, although a brisk insilade from the sharpshooters wits kept up. Meade's headquarters 'vere on a beautiful pine-capped hill or mound toward the right of our line, and overlooked the dense woods where the 2nd Corps boys lay, along the Block road, with their skirmish line well thrown out. General Grant was aL Meade's hen:d elimiters on the hill referred to during the afternoon, arranging his plans for future action. A score of civilians among them, I think, Mr. Dana, of the New York ,Sire, then Assistant Secre tary of War, and Mr. Washburne, member of Congress from Illinois, were present, including hungry news paper correspondents, who would have t given their horses for the slightest inti mation of Gen. Grant's i tetAtions or 'the means ofgetting through theguerilla country behind us to their respective papers the little information they .did possess. Suddenly, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, a brisker fusi lade of sharpshooters was heard in the direction of the intersection of the two roads where a portion of the 211 Corps lay. • The firing increased in rapidity ; shells from rebel batteries began to burst over the tree-tops ; the quick gleaming if rebel bayonets vas seen in the dark woods, and a moment more and long lines of gray passed rapidly across and open space in front of the coveted - cross roads, and disappeared in the jungle. Their object wits evident at a; glance, and the necessities of the case required immediate attention. They were char ging the 2d Corps line and having, by mits - ut. arrtna cTltVeit' lAMB g uii ward to what they thought was certain victory. At the time when the enemy was forming his divisions for the charge, General Grant was standing on the skirts of the pine grove referred to, leaning with one hand on a sapling, smoking a cigar and surveying the sur rounding country. The movement of the rebel commander did not escape his attention, and on observing it lie re moved his cigar, and, gazing for a mo merit towards the woods on his right, turned and beckoned a staff officer to his side. In a low ,tone, and without showing by his demeanor the •slightest discomposure, he gave the aid instruc tions to forward by the telegraph line, which connected every division of his army with ' head quarters, orders to commanders of Corps to dispose their troops in such a manner as to check mate the pending movement of the enemy, and again turned his eyes towards the woods on his right, still smoking quietly; and speaking to no one. The' writer of this was sitting within a few feet of the General at the time, and was intently watching him, wondering whether under the leader ship of that plain, unassuming little man,dhe Army 'of the Potatnac was destined to better luck than under its former unfortunate commanders. I revert to the circumstances of my dis trusting that same unassuming little man with a smile when I remember how soon afterward he convinced the world of his superior generalship. The hurried manner of the aid as he left the Gener i es side attracted the at tention of tl large ..group of officers near by, andNin Th. moment a score of ii i glasses were le elect in the direction their chief was • zing. Simultaneously several spran& f . , up, and, approaching the General, Called his attention to the suspiCious movements of the enemy. Without removing his eyes he replied, calmly : "I have been watching them for some time; they are preparing fur a charge on the 2d Corps'' line". By this time Meade was at his side, pale, ner vous, and apparently anxious...to be in the saddle at once; but a few words from Grant in a low tone, a smile lit up the grim warrior's face, and all signs of anxiety vanished. Together they stood, observing the enemy's movements, un til the rebel lines crossed.the open space referred to, Grant smiled with a kind of exuberant satisfaction as they disap peared in the woods. In thirty seconds after the jungle rang with the rebel yell (the same as. that heard at the New York Convention), and a continuous peal of musketry, and then commenc ed one of the fiercest hand-to-hand en counters during the war, lasting for nearly half an hour. The result history has told.' Hanceek's men, weary from hard fighting on the day previous, were scarcely prepared for such a desperate assault, . and after a terrible struggle gave way, leaving the - enemy in .full possession of the cross-roads. They wore taken nt a dear price, however, as the enemy lost five' to one in eharghie across the open space directly in front of our works. Meanwhile, by General Grant's order troops had been rapidly transferred from our right and left toward the centre, be hind and at right angles with the rebel line holding the Block road. But shall the enemy be left in quiet possession of that all important position? By no means. Where is Stun. Carroll, the dashing dare-devil of the Second corps?, Ready for work as usual, but with on-1 ly-a part of his brigade, resting behind Hancoek's headquarters. " Send in your best officer," was Grant's order Id Hancock ; "dislodge the enemy, but don't pursue - too far." In a moment. General Carroll, with one arm in a sling from a terrible wound received the day previous,, was at the bead of his veterans charging down upon the en emy with a.cheer. The works were re captured ard the enemy driVen back into the flicket—for what? Only to meet deathlor capture, for what with tho are In ont, on their right, and on their left, hardly a'greyback escaped to tell the tale of the terrible encounter in the thicket and theArap into which they •had unconsciously been led by their own officers. ' . When the smoke rose thickest over • the woods, and when the rebel yell rang joudest, General Grant was as cool and Confident as when at his headquar ters in Washington, and never once dur ing that struggle did he show by his Manner that he doubted in the least the final result. i ' . , _Tt is in such moments'as theSe that cool intrepidity is required of a com mander. A moment's hesitation, the exhibition of unseemly haste and ner vousness, has lost many a battle; for the soldier, eagerly looking into the face of his commander to ascertain "the situation," is either buoyed up with hope or cast down with fear. Had the whole of headquarters gone dashing up and down the line at the critical mo ment when the enemy held the cross roads, betraying their apprehension by their general demeanor the contagion (for fear is contagious) would have spread throughout the army, and Might have resulted MAO ignominious rout. But, as it was, Grant remained placid; his plans had been thoroughly laid,and lie waited the result with a quiet email deuce which told on all around him. At the commencement of the attack an aid from Hancock's headquarters, dust covered and pale with excitement, bearing the message from Hancock that his line had been vigorously attacked by the enemy, and requesting immedi ate reinforcements. These, it is un necessary to say, were already moving to Hancock's support, and, as stated, arrives in time to aid in cutting off the retreat of Gen. Lee's charging column. A late messenger froth, Second Corps headquarters gave the intelligence that our line had been broken, and that the enemy was •in full .possession of the cross roads. Still the same stoical calm ness was exhibited by Gen. Grant as he gave the order fo their dislodgthent, which, as we have stated, was ettected by Gen. Carroll's brigade. A third message from Ha icock detailed the hurling back and . unihilation of the charging party; ii id Grant remained as cool and undistu 'bed as before, his .general manner indicating that he was not at all surpried at,' but had expected the result. 1 The value of Perfect coolness in . bat- , tlic, especially in, a commander, cannot be over-estimated for many a struggle would have resulted in defeat on the inareh to Appomattox Court house had , not our "boys in blue" seen their lit tle General with his headquarters well up to the front, and noticed his bearing as that of one perfeetly confident of the 1:(2:,.,:-3 of his p1an5.„,,.... At Spottsylvania Coll ft HIMISO, white tidilg along our line when an engage ment was in progress, a ramrod arum the rebel lines came whistling through the battle smoke, and barely missed the General. Turning to an officer, he re ma\rked, with a smile, "The enemy must be hard-up tbr ammunition.” No dodging, no turning back for Grant., but on he rode at a leisurely pace until he had reconnoitered our whole line in person, and knew the disposition of every brigade in the Army of the Po tomac. And this is the same little iiittii who afterward received the s words of Robert E. Lee—" an honor," remarks the Richmond Examiner (Democratic)`, which no living Yankee deserved!" ruvanvunv,v- p New York World to ,belittle the success, ses of General Grant are. beneath tlie contempt of any sensible man, espec ially of soldiers. It is the attempt Of a leading Democratic organ. to glorify their friends, the rebels, and to villify the soldiers of the Union army by in sinuations of cowardice. Its arguments are passed as falsehoods which are too transparent to obtain credence, and t is astonishing after this bow any soldier who fought that the Union might live can support a party of which that vil lainous sheet is the' mouthpiece, The force under Grant at the first battle of the Wilderness was but 98,019, as shown by official reports instead of 200,000, as represented by this shameless . rebel sheet, while Lee's army numbered 72,- 278. When it is remembered that twice or thrice the number is required by an an attacking army to that - acting on the defensive in a fortified position, it must be admitted by friend and foe that Grant's Virginia campaign was one of the most brilliant and successful in mil itary annah4. Let this fact be remem bered, that the enemy's lines of ' supply were short and in a friendly country; that he in variably fought from he'll lid , formidable breast-works; and that, with the exception of occasional sorties, he never al tacked General G rant after Friday's dOastrous repulse in the Wit (iciness , J .\ 1171 Y OFTHE PoToNA yr, Sor.emotc?"—" - Wahe t. 4 olotnou.

Yesterday , a strange and terrible spec-. facie was witnessed in Cheatham Conn ty,nbout 19 miles from this city, on the line of the Nashville and, the North \Western Railroad. About 1 o'clock, while the, mew 'employed on the Planta tion.of- Joshuiautham"Were going in to a field to pluck fodder, the sun being hidden behind clouds at the time, and a genelid'' gloom prevading the 'sky, they were much frightened and con fused by the apparent opening of the clouds, judging from the description of the henomenon; not more than five or or six degrees north of the zenith. They judge the cloud 'to be about three-quar ters of a mile high. The strange sight attracted their notice. A brilliant whit ish red glare oversPread an immense mass of ;black clouds, on the center of which appeared a funnel-like aperture about four or five feet in diameter, the sides of which presented the -appear ance of ragged flames darting like fiery tongues, and licking' and - lapping at a large white object passing with incon ceiveable rapidity down through the aperture. When it left the mass of cloud _ it did not appear to fall in a perpendic ular direction, but sloped at an inclina-; tion of some 10 or 15 degrees • from a plumb line, and grew mere- intensely bright as it approached the earth. It, swept down like a bright angel of death and destruction. It struck the earth with a sound like a sudden, terriffeclap of thunder, and seemed to make the . surrounding hills quiver to their founda tions. Great numbers of trees on their rocky sides fell, and continued falling for several minutes afterward, making noises like the prolonged verberations of the thunder among picky cliffs. The men were about 4.00 yards from the place where the fiery missive from the sky struck, were afraid to go and examine te place for several hours af terward. They took courage, howeyer, and, being joined by numbers - of the people living in the surrounding, neighborhood, they proceeded to the place, and found that it had struck upon a fiat ledge of rocks in a wagon way leading from a -farm house to the public road.. The fragments of stone -were. thrown arodnd for several rods in all directions; the ledge, which.is said to be three feet thick, without any seams, was disturbed for a distance of about 50 feet, split and torn up in frag ments ; the soil,' which was spread in thin layers all over it, looked as if it had passed through a sieve. At the point where the strange body came in con tact with the rock there appeared to be no storm at all, hut ai very fine, white, floury sort of paste, which was quite bor!and a steam ascended out of the hole ill which it had buried itself, which was too hot to approach. The place where it struck remained hot three clays, but a copious shoWer of rain having fallen, which temporarily swelled the streams and water i'courses, a largelllood poured down on the 'place from tlie'neighboring hills, sending up a constant and immense column of steam. The earth around the place' for several yards was quite hot. This gave us the ilea that the rerolite which. had struck must be of great size. The col umn of steam continued to- ascend all night and presented a - wierd spectacle amid the gloom and in the silent depths • of the woods. It could be seen from the surrounding hills like a tall ghost, changing its position betimes, and its t tit fir s ntzti Es witalrlyj U.S morning ap proached, inciting away in the light of the rising sun. At ten or eleven o'clock that day we organized a squad of about ten ' with ,drills and other quarrying tools, and commenced the work of ex cavation. • We found great nemhere of rents and cracks in the rocks as we de scended: Not much poWder was lived ed after the first blast. We did . inot propose to work all,round the Imre; but began live or six yards. away frbm the lips of the orifice, and continued to work on that side alone; when -we reached a depth of about 20 feet we came to the terolite, s ormass of metal; still hot, and covered outside with a slight film or coating of oxide. -It ig wedge shaped, the heavy end being upward.. N'Ve cannot account for this except on the Supposition that It was globular as it descended ; 'but the contact With' so dense a body as a mass of limestone, • w hile' in a soft condition, Pushed back ward the mass as it passed through and gave it the cone-shape which it It had passed entirely through' the ledge of liinehtoue, and was embedded- in. a stratum . of bluish, tough, ,putty-like clay, very closely packed, and impervi ous to water.
