Greenville, Ga., June2,1869. Editor* Telegraph: The accompanying letter from the su perintendent of the State Road you mil please publish. It is desired also that those papers that have published the let ters of the Treasurer and myself should give it publicity. The letter contains two ideas, mid two only, which I desire briefly to notice. 1st. That at the proper rime, and in the usual and proper manner, his report of the man agement of. the Road wiQ.be made, and that it will be satisfactory to all competent and unbiased judges; that is to say, at the next meeting of the Legislature, seven months hence, we shall be made satisfied that this vastly valuable property has been well and judiciously managed. When it is remem bered that the net earnings of the road, with more business than it ever had before, are §15,000 a month less than formerly, it may be well qni'srioncd whetier this prom- se to be fullfiued at so remote a period will be entirely satisfactory to the people. I may be an intruder; I may have violat ed good breeding, or the official rales of etiquette, often as senseless as they are dis gusting, in seeking information on a sub ject of interest to every citizen of Georgia. Certain it is, were I the Superintendent of the property that cost the people §7,000- 000, and the net income of that property were $15,000 a month less than formerly —the 1’onndation of all the complaint— and I were called upon in a respectful man ner by a citizen of the State, high or low, official or no official—especially by one who had voted and used all his influence in the House of Representatives against taking the management of the same ont of my hands—to explain the reason of the dis crepancy, I would not reconcile it either to my convictions of duty to myself or to the people to promise to make a satisfactory ex planation seven months hence; bnt I would do it at onoe or frankly acknowledge my in ability to do it. 2d. As to the second idea, it emounts practically to nothing. He might recom mend rill doomsday the acceptance of the proposition of Gen. Austell, on certain con ditions, and in the absence of a legislative enactment to that effect, the proposition could not bo acceded to. Gen. Austell’s proposition is now important in one light only, and that is, in his judgment, be can make the road pay better, and the jndg- ment of such a wan has great weight with me. I make no charge of malversation agajpat any one I know of here. I know of none. I sought only an explanation upon a mat ter of great and general importance, think ing it would be given with pleasure. Please publish this. I will give yon no more trouble. Respectfully, W. H. F.

The disfranchised class in Rhode Island are said to be to a great extent Democrat ic in sentiment, and nnder this 15th amend ment they will vote, and the supremacy of the Radical party endangered. This is why tbe consideration of the amendment was postponed. The Radicals arc quite willing that the negro shall vote for he goes with them, feat they are unwilling to allow the intelligent foreigner and the thousands of native born citizens at present disfranchised to v„te, unless they will assist to perpetuate their own power. This 15th amendment which wa9 intend ed to secure the supremacy of the Radical party in the Southern States, will not ac complish snch a result in Rhode Island, but npon the contrary will materially damage it.—Selma Times. ' Missionaries Wanted. Twenty thonsand New England missiona ries wanted immediately. Twenty thou sand luscious male and female damsels, not addicted to tbe nse of whiskey, snuff or to bacco, wanted for African consump tion. Salaries no object. Situation per manent. Well authenticated reports from Africa reveal the sickening and astonnding fact that in many places where missionary posts have been established for the conversion of the heathen, that the Christians there loca ted have been butchered, and that the cap tives taken by the different African tribes in their raids and internal wars, instead of being sent to this county on board of slave ships,are now sold as hogs are in this conn- try for meat. Formerly it was foe custom for African chieftains and petty princes of that country to dispose of their captives to those who wished to make them slaves.hnt of late cannibalism has increased a thous andfold, apd prisoners are taken and slaughtered sold, and eaten; in many instan ces tribe hunting tribe for the sole purpose of obtaining human food. The warriors, if old and tough, are knocked in tho head,and made into shogyah or sonp,whilefoe young er fighters, with foe females and are cut np in to roasts and broils for filling the stomachs of onr fellow-citizens by bre vet. This is so mnch better than to sell captives into s'avery,that we feel to rejoice. Slavery is one of the “twin relics of bar barism,” an institution of thi fact- It is true the fftnqgered Of uncontrolled savages, as the fates of war in his native country decided,was brought here, tamed, educated to a certain point, and made osefol; made not only self-supporting, bnt a little more so, for the advancement of the nation’s wealth, enterprise, and prosperity. Bnt there is something horrible in the idoa of a black man bropipg wider foe Southern qifn, workipg a certain number of houra >er day, as white work, and receiving for ■is labor, food, clothing, care and all the edqcatioq he was, by the Almighty, fitted This slow, inhuman, American treat ment was[barbarons in the extreme! Before African slave trade was commenced by New Englaqders-^feefore ships manufactur ed in New England became profitable property for the conveying of -African cap tives, fakep in war, from foe eoast of Afri ca to foe ooast of Ameriea, captives weie sold from tribe to tribe as slaves. The cap tive of to-day might next year become cap- tor, as petty revolts were successful or un successful. With the opening of the s{ave trade came a better mejM of disposing of foeqe prisoners. Better for that country, because it thinned ont its surplus inhabi tants, and made banting for so-called ha- man blood less, profitable—and, foerefore. lees barbarous. Bptfer for- this country, for it brought here labor whioh,nnder prop er care and direction, becamo of valne and profit to master and slave in proportion to the intellect of each. The closing of the slave trade has sent Africa backward hundred years; and now, instead of the “painful lash and broiling snn” go mgeh talked of and over fey Mew England Puri tans and philanthropists, tho African chief who captures an hundred of his dusky fel lows sells them for ivory and snch stuff, at so much per pound, as we sell beef.

So much for American philanthropy, Puritanism, and abolitionism. So much for the missionaries; and, therefore, it is we call, in the language of the late lament ed Abraham, for at least two hundred thou sand, more of these New England saints to take np their cross, their flannel shirts, their hymn books, their bass-wood horns, their cheap trinkfle. and hopes for future salvatfou, apd go at opce roto the rr ’ of Ethiopia, that they may do . a little something there in behalf of the ones they so dearly lovo.

Norris was forced to answer the writ of habeas corpus otherwise than “throutjh headquarters.’’ Yesterday morniDg he brought Jack Raley,the sheriff, before the court (iu answer to a writ,) charging him with assault with intent to rob Norris of the jail keys. The affidavits and warrants were procured in Atlanta. Raley was bailed in the amount of $10, 000 to appear beforea caurt of examination whenever requi cd. Norris' attempted a speech of reconcilia tion, but failed, nature having made him a better executioner than orator. He then attempted a little sarcasm, but the. soldiers couldn’t sea it, and was .compelled to suc cumb in a . few. vindictive mutter ing?. • ■ In the afternoon, the entire party who had been confined in jail were released on bail, and an injunctien served on Norris, which puts a stop to these unlawful ar rests. As hinted, in a previous fetter, it has transpired that personal hatred of the Codys’, Raley, Martin and Hartley, was the cause of their arrest. Farrow and others are expected from Atlanta to-day.

A few weeks ago we wrote anti published an article ou the influence and advantages of a thriving, live newspaper to the city or village iti which it was published. An swering t<r that we find in the Charleston Nacs an article expressing almost exactly the same views. The News say.! “that one of the most common, but most absurd mis takes which people make uow-a days, is iu imagining that a community confi rs upon the newspaper which it supports an obli gation,” whieh eau only be canceled by the most obsequious compliance with the whims aud deference to the opiniom? of any indi vidual among the mass of its readers who may take the trouble to favor it with his views. Modern journalism, like its sister constitution, the postal system and telegraph gives to the public advantages out of all proportion to the money value at which they are rated ; and a mau who buys a good news paper avails himself of a privilege tbe ex traordinary cheapness of which he can hardly appreciate, because of its habitoal enjoyment. The advertiser, likewise, who makes known bis business through the col umns of a journal circulating wide’y among all classes, ought to understand that he thereby secures the richest possible return for the trifling sum he may have invested. In both cases the customer gets his full money’s worth many times multiplied; and the assumption that there is any obligation whatever in cither is simply preposterous. The terms “patron” and “patronage,” as applied to the readers and business of a newspaper, are still used by some country editors, but have long since been repudia ted by all journalists who are mindful of the true position and dignity of their call ing. Nor is it in its relations to individuals only, that the newspaper is a source of con stant benefit. A live, enterprising and progressive journal likewise gives to the ci ty in whieh it is published an advantage, the importance of which it would be diffi cult to overate. To the outside world, the daily paper has grown to be the un failing index by which the community, of which it is sure to be in some sort the rep resentative, is juagea, -Tbc-IHc-onA •=. . orgy of the little world it illustrates seldom fail to be faithfully reflected in its news columns; while the array of its advertise ments, to the practical eye, is an unerring gauge of the shrewdness, activity and pros perity of its‘business men. It is clearly, then, the interest of every city that aspires to commercial advancement to give to its newspaper such a support as will enable them to keep os fur a° possible in advance of the times, constantly enlarging the sphere of their usefulness, and ever, iaking the lead in every measure of development and progress. And snch a support should be given ungrudgingly, not as a matter of fa vor or patronage, but simply as a business operation, affecting directly and.in a most material degree, the interests of the present and the prospects of the fu ture.”— Selma Times.

Mr. Frothinghan delivered a discourse in New York on the day of the decoration of the graves of the Union dead, which concludes as follows.: I mean all who died in the war were equally victims. The Southerner and the Northerner—those who fell with us and those who fell against us—all were victims laid on the same altar. I would with that we all did this as one nation. Let us strew these flowers not on Northern graves alone, bnt on Sonthern graves also. They were equally bravof-they were all equally faithful to their ideal; their valor was com mon, their feeling was common, their en deavor was common, and the same devotion to their cause was common to each; and each side was devotd to its ideal—ono side no less entirely than the other. Northerner and Southerner each cher ished his purpose, each had hope, each was fall of confidence of the ability of his God; each opened his Bible; each made his prayers to the same Deity who directed the battle; they were common victims, laid on a common altar, in a common cause. Oh, we ought by this time to be able to do jus tice to the purposes as well as to the spir it of onr foes. They bore more than we did; they sacrificed more than we did.— Their homos wore burned over their heads by fiery shields; ours were left untouched. They are obliged to bow their beads as con quered. We aro privileged to raise ours as conquerors. I would drop a tear on one of their graves as quickly as on one of our own; and I am willing to affirm that tho guilt was not their’s alone. We were all sinners to-gether. * * * These men filled their place, not shrinking, not Memphis, June 9.—Arkansas papers give encouraging accounts of tho crops in that State despite the unfavorable start at the beginning of tbe season.

I have heard a great deal ced about “broken hearts,” and there may be a few of them bnt mi experience iz that next tew the gizzard, the harte is the tufiest peace ov meat in the whole critter. There is nothing in this life that will open the pores of a man so mnch as to fall in luv; it makes him az a tin whissel, az limber az a hoy’s watch chain, and az per lite az a danzing master; his harte is az full of sunshine as a hay field, and there ain’t any more guile in him that there is in a stick ov merlasses candy.
