uotily defaulters that unless they come for

The list numbers 1,800 colored and 200

The Cuthbert Appeal says: We have in our
f auctuin a carious specimen of the tusus natu
rae. It consists of n stalk of corn with two
distinct brunches ol equal size aud height,
proceeding from the parent stem at the same
point, about 18 inches above the root. There
is no appreciable difference iu the appeurance
of the branches, each having attained a good
ordinary height, wiiii a well developed ear
«-qua distant from the point of junction. Thu
lout ensemble of this unique freak of nature is
perfect.
The Baiubridge Sun says: “For the last
week the weather has been oppressive, the
thermometer ranging from 90 to 95 in the
shade. More or less rain has fallen every
day. The prospect of the cotton crop is not
as promising as it was a week ago. The cat
erpillar has appeared in a number of fields.
They appear to be IB greater force upon the
Chattahoochee plantations, emne of which
will be almost stripped m the course of ten
days. The rust has also made its appearance
in some few places, doing quite as much dam-

the crops are so far advanced that no serious
damage can be done them. The corn crop,
the greater portion of which i« now ready for
harvesting, is excellent"

Will they auiighten us upou this puiojt?
We defy any mau to show wherein we have
not been as fully committed to th# great Prin
oiples of Uuity, Protection to life and proper
ty, and Loyalty to the one Government, and
good faith in meeting the obligations of that
Government, as even the strictest among our
meet blatant critics. Until they can challenge
our record on these points, it is sheer
sense to talk about not supporting the Repub
lics Platform.
The unity of the Party must be preserved
in Georgia, as elsewhere. Republicans have
no streugth to frittor away in useless divisions
where no real differences can be said to exist.
If all cannot get office who deem themselves
worthy of premotion, they should not, ou that
account, attempt to create division in the
parly. They should continue to show their
faith by their work*, aud bide their time ii
patience and fortitude.
A Republican who is not suoh from princi
pie, is nothing. He cannot be relied upon in
times of trial. But it is »ot by any
essential to orthordox membership that every
individual man of the party should, upon
mere matters of policy, or upou side issues
within the party, think precisely as every
other member thinks. Besides being a moral
impossibility, it is not in the least essential to
the unity and harmony of the party,
the pride and boast of the party that it is the
champion of free thought and 'free speech;
and, unlike the factions of the decayed par
ties which oppose its progress, it seeks to
ostracise no man on account of the opinions
which he may honestly entertain, or fearless
ly express within the party.
As the authorized exponent of this great
national party, the administration of Presi
dent. Grant offers a platform quite brood
enough for all loyal and true men of the coun
try ; aud if those who have heretofore acted
with the rotten Democracy, seeing the error
of their ways, now see proper to uuite with
and the great national party whereof this
journal is an acknowledged exponeut, we
heartily welcome them to the fold, regardless
of what they may have been in days gone by.
The opposite policy is, according to onr judg
ment, extremely narrow and illiberal; and
ill, in the end, do more to destroy the effi
ciency of the party in Georgia than any other
ndiscretion of which we could possibly be
guilty.

To the Intelligencer.
Your abuse of Col. Hulbert, during hi* ad-
mintotrution as Superintend! nt of Registra
tion, was without limit os to occasion,
was also unparalleled in bitterness. You
openly charged biro with fraud; and you pub
licly attributed the election of Gov. Bullock
to Hulbert's dishonesty in counting the vote!
This was an assault upon the personal charac
ter of the Registrar which many of your friends
deplored as being both unjust and injudicious.
Nevertheless, as we had unbounded confi
dence in the sincerity of your motives, we
were willing to presume you had some good
and sufficient reason for making those grave
charges.
But, if your allegations aud covert iuucn-
does, affecting his integrity, both us a man
and a politician, were true then, aro thoy any
less true now ? If, however, you are now
satisfied that your charges were wholly false,
is it not your duty to say so, aud thus disa
buse the minds of your readers? Inasmuch
as yon have uot done this, but buva, in
meantime, become his special organ and eu
logist, And that too in the face of your record,
on tchich tide do yon desire to be considered
a sincere partisan ? Your charges against
Ool. Hulbert stand uncorrocted or nndenied
by yon; and yet yi.a seek every opportunity
to Ire-puff aud lie-praise a mau whom yon say
is unworthy of publio confidence!
Under these circumstances, your old-time
friends roust be excused for their expressions
of surprise and mortification. They can readi
ly understand how you may have made a mis
take, and unwittingly preferred fain# accusa
tions against a political opponent; but they
oannot understand hoar you can afterwards
become the personal organ aud champion of
A •• Happy Family.”

of that unrivaled folly. The authors of
cession, as a oluss, did not believe that it
would provoke war. It was considered the

this ostracism of which yon oomplain. It
is intended to provoke bitterness uml strife,
personal alienation and occasional violence,
between those of opposite political sentiments.
These, iu tarn, are regarded as specifics to
procure the postponement of the roturu of
tba State to harmonious relatione* with the
general government during the ascendency of
the Republican party.
It is not nulikely that tho oltraists com
plained of reason ufter this manner: If by
any means, a state of appreheusion and dis
content oau be kept alive, bo as to make Con
gress distrustful of the pacific intents of the
people of this State, and unwilling to with
draw the garrisons aud detached bodies of
troops, or to admit to the Natioual Legisla
ture. Senators and Representatives, until the
next Presidential election, it may serve to
arouse popular sympathy in other States aud
assibt the Democrats iu obtaining oontrol of
tho government. The continued exclusion
of Georgia from participation iu the councils
of the nation, is likely to produoe the result
so much deaired by ardent and uncompromis
ing Democrats. Iu this, as in many other of
the affuirs of this world, extremes meet We
have among os prominent Republicans who
prefer that “disoord should reign forever"
than that the State should be represented in
the Senate by the Senators elect. In this,
and an insatiate thirst for office, if in noth
ing else, there is perfect agreement between
them and the Southern exclusives.
It is in vain that you or any one else may
appeal to the moderation or benevolence of
such as aspire to represent the State in the
National councils. To attain their ends, they
will struggle to perpetuate existing political
irritants. If denied for the time being, place
for themselves, they can at least, enjoy the
satisfaction ot seoiug their rivals disappoint
ed. And this, to revengeful natures, is equiv
alent to a triumph.
If we are to wait for a political millennium,
to be ushered in by an honest, patriotic re
nunciation of all political heresies, I fear the
time is too distant for you and I to join in the
general rejoicing that will follow. The first
step towards sincere repentance, is to forswear
all offices of honor or profit, particularly the
latter. The temper of oar people does not
seem to favor such self denial. As for our so
cial relations, I see no way to remedy them,
unless it be by preserving a diguified self-re
spect, and maintaining a settled indifference
for tbo companionship of such as are too vin
dictive, or too timid and time-serving to as
sociate with the advocates of reconstruction,
because of their opinions. It must be conce
ded that there are persons in Georgia, claim
ing to be Republicans, who took advantage of
reconstruction to make themselves prominent
politicians. Some of these were not iu tbo
enjoyment of reputable social positions prior
to the war, simply for the reason that they
were never entitled to the respect of the virtu-
ftiid the good. They never seek to enlist
ply for a pretended loss. On the other
hand, people without a single virtue, affect a
holy detestation for each oh daro to defend or
extenuate the acts of the national government,
is a cheap passport to tho temporary favor
Southern extremists, but cau't lost.
I am of opinion that no artificial distinc
tions, whether produced by political changes
or other cause, can long deprive any man of
solid personal merit, of his proper position in
society. I do not find really clever and intel
ligent people, more illiberal thau I expected,
when I condemned the revolution. History
teaches that these fires will eventually expend
their force, and couse to burn. Meauwhile,
let us inculcate patience, and profit by the
sago counsel of one of the most distinguished
Federal Generals, who said to a Southern
Unionist, in a receut conversation: “Tell your
people to labor hard to make all the cotton
they can, put money in their pockets, live
quietly and independently, and let politics and
politicians go to the d— 1.” Berrien.

Mississippi, in reply to ono received from
President Grant the ourly port of the present
month*
Is it reasonable to suppose that a people
having the free choice of their representatives
would eleot for their rulers a class of politi
cians whose aggressive and hostile conduct
hitherto has rendered them peculiarly obnox
ious and disagreeable ? This is the charge
made by the people of Mississippi against tin
Radicals or “bitter-enders,” as they ure called
This charge is not made because they
fongbt against the South aud secession, lor
mauy of that class fought ou tho side of the
South. It is not made bocauso they aro of
Northern birth and education, for many men
of Northern birth und education, and of the
Northern army, are with us in antagonism to
this obnoxious party. It is not bcoaase they
are Republicans, for their antagonists were
amoug the first iu the Houth to organize and
to advocate the civil and political equality of
all men; were sent as deligate* to Ghicago,
and for their consistency and constancy were
rewarded by you with offices of trust
honor. But this charge ia made, us I have
said before, because tho proscriptive antece
dents and aggressive policy of these politi
cians toward the people of Mississippi have
made them the objects of peculiar abhorrence.
That policy consists not only in the cou-
tiunal advocacy of proscription, but in n lime
of profound peace. Such revolutionary doc-
triues ns excite und direct against (he white
men of tbo 8011th aud their families a most
dangerous animosity, such animosity, indeed,
which, with a continuation of the same fuel
would inevitably lead to a black man's party
and a war of races. Neither nr* such doc
trines preached with an earnest desire to
ameliorate the condition of the freed men or
promote tbo onds of peace or strengthen tho
Republican party in tho 8ou*b, but solely to
alienato from tho planter tho tiuie-houored
confidence and affection of this race, in order
that tho now political element under tho ban-
nor of Republicanism might bo outirely con
trolled sud subordinated to their own pur
poses of powor and aggrandizement; and to
this class of men, whom you foiled in their
attempt to forco upon tho pooplo of Mississip
pi the odious constitution rejected at the bal
lot box, you uow give tho hand of friendship
and sup|Mirt, and spurn from you tliat other
class, who, accepting tho invitation of the Re-
publican parly, in good faith, come en masse,
in Virginia and Tonuesa#c, as they will come
in Mississippi and Texas, to stand upou its
platform aud advocate its principles.
Login Dent.
titsrral Oran I
In noticing the shameful attacks of tho Hew
York World, Now York 8iin, and Wendell
Phillips on 0*n. Grant, tbo New York Even
ing Post makes the following effective reply;
Now, wbst aro tbs facts about the Preat-
dent? Ills personal habits are the most 001 •
recL Ho Iikom a fins horse, as most man do
who know one when they *«o it; but he does
not attend races. He has not chosen to re
main in Wash ugtim during tho aninui«r heal;
and, if publio business docs uot keep him
there, he is wise in leave s place which la no
toriously unhealthful a* well as extremely un
comfortable at this season. Us ha* not, by
becoming President, given up bto right a* au
American citizen to sask health in such places
a* Long Branch or 8aratoga; and osrtainly no
praise to wbioh your own vanity supplies tho
versicles. For you must have au exception
ally Strong head if you can rato the sketch at
it* real value, and see for yourself how ut
terly meaningless it is.
You may be the most mystical poet of the
day, suggesting to your acutest readere grave
doubts as to your own powor of comprehend
ing yourself; or you may be the most subtle
mathematician, to follow whom in your laby
rinth of reasoning requires perhaps the rarest
order of brains to be met with ; but you will
nevertheless believe any narrow-browed,
small-headed woman who tells you in a low
sweet voice, with a gentle uplifting of her eyes,
and a suggestive curve of the lip, that she bos
found you both intelligible and charming, and
that she quite agrees with yon, and shares
your overy sentiment. If she further tell*
you that all her life long sho has thought in
exactly tho same way, but was wholly unable
to express herself, and that yon have now sup
plied her want and translated into words her
vague ideas, and if she says this with a rever
ential kind of effusiveness, you aro done for,
so far as your critical power goes ; aud should
som# candid friend, whom she has not flat
tered, tell you with brutal frankness that your
bewitching little flatterer has neither brains
nor the education to understand you, you will
set him down as a slanderer, spitefal and mal
ignant, and call his candor envy, because he
has not been so lucky as yourself.
There is oue kind of flattery which is com
mon to both men aud women, and that is the
expressed preference of sex. Thus, when
cuen want to flatter women, they see bow in
finitely they prefer their society to that of
their own sex; and women will say the same
to men. Or, if they do not say it, they will
act it. See a set of women congregated to
gether without the light of a manly counten
ance among them. They may talk to each
other certainly; and one or two will sit away
together and discuss their private affairs with
animation; but the groat mass of them nro
only huif vitalized while waiting tbo advent of
tbo men to rouse them into life aud tbe de
sire to please. No man who goes up first,
and earlier than ho was expected, from tho
dinner tablo, cun fail to see the change which
comes over those wearied, limp, iudiffereut
looking faces and figures as soou as he eutors
tho room. Ho is like the prince whose kiss
woke up tho sleeping beauty and all her court;
and can any one say that this is not flattery of
the most delightful kind? To bo the Pygma
lion even for a moment, and for tbo weakest
order of soul giving, is about the greatest
pleasure that a man can know, if he is suscep
tible to tbe fiuer kinds of flattery.
Home women, indeed, not only show their
preference for men, but openly confess it, and
confess r t the same time to a lofty contempt
or abhorrence lor the society of women.—
These are generally women who are, or have
been beauties, or who have literary and intel
lectual pretensions, or who despise babies aud
contemn housekeeping, and prefoss them
selves unable to talk to other women, beoauso
of their narrowness and stupidity. But for
the most part they are women who, by their
beauty or tbeir position, have been used to re
ceive extra attention from m*n, aud thus their
ireferenoe is not flattery no muoh as exigeance.
Women who have been iu India, or wherever
etoe women are iu the minority in society, aro
of this kind; and nothing in more nmaziug to
them when they first oome home thau Ihe at
tention* which a certain stylo of Euglishwo-
man pay* to men, inntoad of demanding and
rccoivinig attentions from thorn. The*e nro
those sweet, humble, caressing women, who
flatter you with every word and look, but
whone flattery is nothing but n pretty dreMH
put on for ahow, and taken off when tbo show
ih done with.
Tbe flattery met with in society is not often
very harmful save to cosree or specially sim
ple natures. You must be eithfir one or the
other to be able to believe It, Lady Morgan
was perhaps the most unblushing and exces
sive of the tribo of social flatterers ; but that
was her engine, tbe ladder by which she did a
good part of her climbing. We must uotoon-
found with thin kind of flattery th* Impulsive
ixpressiou of praise or love which certain out-
poken people iqdulge in to the last. You may
as well try to dam up Niagara aa to make some
folks reticent in suy direction. And when one
of this kind sesa anything that he or she likes,
the prsis* has to corns oat, with superlstiYes
If th* creature is proos to exaggeration- But
this to not fiattsrv ; It |a merely want of roti-
cence, ant) a certain cbildlikoness which lasts
with soiuo to tho cud, but which very few un
derstand when they see it, and wbioh lnlijoota

frioodly jibes, ss soon ss his or hnr book is
