A Concert by Negroes.
We have received, from a gentleman in Ma
rietta, & programme of a concert to be given
at that place, “in aid of the soldiers’ fund,”
by negro slaves, which we were requested to
publish as an advertisement.
We regret that our sense of duty forbids
our doing so. Almost anything is admitted
into the columns of most newspapers when
paid for as advertisements —and we would by
no means make our paper an exception to this
rule ; but we feel that our duty to our country
in this case should rise above the love of mon
ey ; hence, wc respectfully decline the publi
cation of the programme.
We do not question the integrity of the good
people who are the patrons —the getters—up —
of this concert. We know their desire to do
good, and they do not suppose any harm will
come of it. We differ with them on the pro*
priety of thus promoting the negroes. Nor do
we wish to set up our judgment as superior to
those who think differently. We only act upon
our honest convictions, and hope to be excus
ed on that score.
Having declined to publish the programme,
a decent respect for the opinions of those who
are getting up this concert, and have asked
us to advertise for them, requires that we give
our reasons therefor.
The negro is an inferior race— especially is
he far inferior to us intellectually. ’Tis on
account of this inferiority as a race, that his
enslavement is just. His weak mind makes a
superior intellect to guide and control him.
necessary for his own well being, and is right
in itself; while his superior physical develop
ment eminently fits him for hard labor, and
the color of his skin to enduring the heat of a
Southern sun. The negro that is humanely
treated—welt fed, clothed, and sheltered, and
made to work, is in the happiest possible con
dition for a negro to be, or that his mental,
moral or physical development enables him to
enjoy or improve.
Slavery is the normal condition of the negro
race—that condition which God Almighty in
tended he 'should occupy—for He has made
him exactly to fit the place and answer the
purposes of such a condition. It is the negro’s
highest civilization and the only civilization
to which he can aspire with any hope of suc
cess. It is the only condition in which the
race increases rapidly and is well developed
in form and vigor; and the only one in which
he has ever been useful in the world, either
to himself or others. His enslavement by a
suptrior race elevates him, and does not <Ze
grade him, for his primitive condition is but
a few degrees above that of the brute. Hence
it is right, and not wrong, to enslave him and
hold him and his posterity as slaves.
Such is the negro nature; but while he is
thus weak in intellect he has, in common with
everything that lives upon the face of the
earth, whether human or animal, a large a
mount of vanity and ambition. lie always
aspires to places of preferment, distinction,
ease or comfort—the same as we. The most
ignorant and besotted white in America thinks
his lot a hard one—thinks he is eminently
qualified for an easier and more honorable po
sition—is sure he is cruelly neglected and bis
merits overlooked if such position is not con
ferred on him, and is ready to “put on airs”
if he should by any means obtain such pre
ferment. Every farmer wants to make a mer
chant or lawyer of his son. Every lawyer
wants to be Governor or go to Congress, and
every one of these in turn wants to be Presi
dent. This same ambition and vanity is ob
servable in monkeys, beasts and even in the
vermin and the reptiles that crawl upon the
eirth. It is not, then, at all surprising that
this passion exists in the negro more especial
ly when we consider his human form and weak
intellect—and it is not surprising that when
gratified it damages him—just as it does white
men—though to a greater extent. The placing
of a negro in any position other than a servile
one, is not only one for which he is unfitted ;
not only the gratification of a passion which
should be properly controlled and curbed in all
men and things; but it makes him crave lib
erties with a degree of earnestness he never
before fell. The negro naturally sighs for free
dom—for place and preferment, and every
taste he gets of these prerogatives but whets
his appetite for that which he never can ob
tain, and which, if obtained, would be in the
highest degree damaging to him—being utter
ly unfitted by nature to discharge the duties
which such place or condition would impose.
The negroes who will be engaged in this
concert will be disobedient and chafe under
proper control for six months to come—per
haps to the end of their lives; or their thoughts,
imaginations—their whole mind will be a
prey to discontent and longings for further
distinction, which would only do harm to the
uegro if gratified. Nor will the evil step here.
Evety negro that sees the concert or hears tell
of it will be affected with the same damaging
disease for months or years to come.
We should not place the first temptation in
the way. The eating of the forbidden fruit
in the garden of Eden, made our first parents
•rw*, it is said ; it created in them a desire to
know things which it was best for them never
to know. Everybody recollects the fate of
poor Ned, related in our school day lessons.
The of the oranges tempted him to touch
them, the touch tempted him to smell them,
and the smell tempted him to taste them, with
out the leave of the owaer.
A stale of compuleory servitude, and the
discharge of duties properly belonging to such
a state, is the proper condition for the negro,
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
and he should never be allowed to occupy any
other.
These are our views, and the reasons we
have for declining to publish the advertise
ment. We suppose the Concert will come off,
and that our disapproval will not prevent it.
We are not vain enough to suppose we can
break it up by the expression of these views.
This is not our object. The people who own
the negroes have a right *o make amateur sing
ers of them, if they see fit. That is no busi
ness of ©fours. We, however, think it im
proper, and being requested to advertise for
them, take the occasion to define our position
and give our reasons for declining.

An Ap eal to the Citizens of Atlan a and
of Fulton County.
In behalf of our absent soldiers, we come,
and but for the stern necessity which demands
that theattention ofevery oneshould be drawn
to this subject, we would enter upon our Her
culean task with trembling steps, and little
hoping success. In this appeal to Atlantaand
Fulton county, we trust that patriotism will
enlarge the hearts of the people, and compel
them to respond liberally.
A few weeks ago, we were one of the num
ber who met at the City Hall for the purpose
of organizing a Soldiers’ Relief Society. Such
organizations had been formed in almost every
other city and village in the State. We regret
to say Atlanta was behind in this respect; and
still more do wo blush to own that, instead of
encouragement, opposition and objections met
us on every side. The noblest of motives
prompted the forming of such a Society, de
signed, as it was, to furnish our soldiers with
winter clothing, and for the first time did we
hear objections raised to it. The ladies made
all sorts of worthless objections—the men
said we would make a failure—well knowing
that without their aid and assistance we could
do nothing.
However, as nothing good ever prospered
without opposition, we determined to go on in
our noble cause. Clothing, winter clothing,
for our soldiers, is the cry. We cannot pro
cure this without the means; and even if our
treasury were full, the work cannot be accom
plished by a few working members. Our So
ciety numbers quite two hundred, if not more,
and, to my certain knowledge, there has nev
er been as many as fifty present since the first
meeting. This is a shame; and we cannot
conceive bow the ladies can manifest such in
difference, when they know that our soldiers
are even now suffering for warm clothing in
Virginia. The members of the Society pledg
ed themselves to make one garment a week.
If they are unable to attend the meeting, they
should send and get work. If they are not
able to sew, they should have it done, thereby
accomplishing a double good—giving employ
ment to the needy, and clothing the soldiers.
If the mothers cannotcome, let them send their
daughters—if they do not know how to sew,
it is high time they were learning ; and, with
the direction of their mothers, they can ac
complish a great deal. In addition to the Sol
diers’ Relief Society, in Macon, the little girls
have a Society; and, at their fair last week,
they realized S7OO. Just thin! of it, little
girls of Atlanta, and go to work. Don’t buy
any more dolls or toys, but give all your pin
money to the soldiers.
We do not mean by this article that Atlanta
has done, or is doing nothing ; for she has
been more severely taxed than any city in the
State. She has sent more men, and by hav
ing the regiments rendezvousing here, she
has had her patriotism fully tested, and stood
the test nobly. The ladies have covered the
canteens for them by the hundred, and for
every regiment have made uniforms for at
least one or two companies.
This is all as it should be : but the time is
upon us when our own companies need warm
clothing. So let’s go to work in real earnest
forthem; let every community look to its
own companies, and not send them off on other
places. If all the work that has been done
by the ladies of Atlanta for the other regi
ments was put together, we do assert, it would
be sufficient to clothe our own companies. It
seems impossible to arcuse our people to the
importance of attending to this matter at once.
We propose to furnish our soldiers with
flannel- an article of clothing that every one
admits to be necessary to the comfort, as well
as health of our soldiers now in Virginia. We
cannot do this without money and labor; so
send in your contributions, gentlemen, and
let the ladies come up nobly to work, and in
a few weeks we shall be able to forward the
essential articles of clothing to all our compa
Dies.
And now a word to the gentlemen :
Will you not aid us in this noble cause?
You who are at home enjoying every com
fort, think of the sacrifices our soldiers are
making for you, as well as for us! deny your
selves of everything, and give us all you can
to aid in this worthy object. When the ladies
approach you and with trembling lips ask you
to give, do not turn away and freeze your
heart and lips to say no, but give, and give
freely : giving enlarges the heart and puts you
in a good humor, and next time it isn’t near
so hard to put your hand in your pocket and
give a ten or twenty.
And now to the people in the country :
Your sons, and brothers, and fathers have
gone in our Atlanta companies, and you cer
tainly do not expect Atlanta to clothe them
without your assistance. So send in your con
tributions ; if it is only a dollar, send it - every
little helps. Let everybody in the whole
country that can knit, go to work—knit socks
and deposit them with the Soldiers’ Relief
Society. Let every family that can spare a
blanket, or a comfort, send it to the Society,
and your sons will be cared for. Send us
woolen thread and cotton thread—we have a
great many members who cannot sew. Do
] not delay, but send in at once every dollar
you can spare.
T he Society meets every Tuesday morning,
at 9 o'clock, at the City Hall, where all con
tributions will be gratefully received. We
are now making flannel for the Atlanta Grays,
and any of the friends and relations desiring
to send clothing to this company, can send it
to this Society, with the name of the person
distinctly marked upon it, and it will be for
warded with the other articles. Hoping this
appeal may reach the hearts ofevery one, we
remain, truly, the fiiend and well wisher of
our soldiers,
Maria J. Westmoreland,
President Soldiers’ Relief Society.

provide additional revenues for defraying
the expenses of Government and main
taining the public credit by the assessment
and collection of a direct tax, and internal
duties.” By the provisions of this act a di
rect tax, probably of the amount of $30,000,-

DIRECT TAXATION UY THE FEDERAL GOVERN—
. MENT.
The Lincoln Government has resorted to di
rect taxation to raise the means of carry
ing on the war. The New York Herald
gives the following table, showing the annual
tax which has been levied by the Government
upon salaries which exceed in amount the sum
of SBOO. It has been supposed by some that
where the income is above eight hundred dol
lars, the whole amount is taxed, as is the case
in England ; but such is not the fact. The
excess only is subject to taxation, as, for in
stance is shown below. A person whose sal
ary is eight hundred and fifty dollars per an
num is taxed three per cent, on only fifty dol
lars.

l.etter from Dr. Humphreys.
Washington, D. C., August 12, 1861.
To the Editor of the Richmond Examiner:
Having permission .o write a few lines to
my friends, ami being desirous to give infor
mation to the friends of all who are held here
as prisoners, to our condition and treatment,
I address my letter to you with the lequest
you publish it. There are sixty one of us con
fined in the old Capitol building, a list of whose
names you will find enclosed. The authori
ties have placed over us as General Superin
tendent Mr. McDurmit, of New York, a kind
and affable gentleman who does everything in
bis power to render our situation comfortable.
The officers and guard under Mr. McDurmit
are kind and gentlemanly in their deportment
to us. Dr. Greenleaf, the attending prison
surgeon, is very kind to us. I have a dispo
sition to say, in behalf of the regular Feder
al officers with whom I have had anything to
do, that they treated us as prisoners of war
should be, and not as some of their papers
! have stated we ought to be.
The statements which frequently appear in
the Northern papers, from anonymous writers,
about inhuman and barbarous treatment by
the Confederate Government of their prison
ers are simply ridiculous, as no man of com
mon sense could or would believe them. I
am forced to believe the editors of papers
who publish these anonymous articles of bad
treatment of prisoners by our Government, do
so to engender a spirit of revenge in the minds
of the Northern people, which they know can
not be done otherwise. It may be, for aught
I know, that reports of ill treatment of our
prisoners are circulated through our Govern
ment. If so, I can say, as far as those con
fined here are concerned, it is a mistake, ex
cept in the instance of the mob on PennsyL
vania Avenue, while we were being conveyed
to our present placa of confinement. In this
instance we were shamefully and barbarously
treated. We were dogged from one end of
the Avenue to the other, by an infuriated mob,
yelling “hang the rebels—shoot the d—n
Sebessionists,” and throwing stones, by which
several of us came near losing our lives.—
Some received severe and painful wounds on
their heads, —others were hit in different pla
ces by stones —none of the party, twelve or
fifteen in number, escaped being hit. Had
it not been for the powerful exertions of the
officer and his men, who had us in charge,
driving back the mob, no doubt all would
have been killed.
The officer in charge of us proved himself
to be a man of firmness and bravery—his own
men, as well as we, were being felled to the
ground by stones, he himself in the midst of
a continual shower of rocks ; still undismay
ed, he urged bis men to be firm and defend us
at the sacrifice of their lives ; this they did.
The mob consisted of men and boys, white
and black. A few drunken soldiers could oc
casionally be seen rushing toward us with
drawn knives, but neither the general mob or
the few soldiers seemed inclined to come in
close proximity to the bayonets of our guard.
With this exception our treatment has been
good. lam glad to say the Government offi
cials have guarded against any more such
scenes being enacted by detailing a larger
force to guard the prisoners through the
streets of the city to their place of confine
ment. Our friends in this city and Baltimore
have been very kind in furnishing us with
clothing and food of a different kind from that
usually furnished to soldiers. The Government
furnishes us with two meals a day—soldiers
fare. Our friends furnish us with such as can
be furnished by friends. We long to be ex
changed—we had rather be with our comrades
in arms on the tented field, ready to help
battle for our country and homes than the
revel in the luxuries of princely mansions 1
How long are we to remain prisoners ? It is
a miserable life to lead even under favorable
circumstances; but to know our countrymen
are contending for theirs and our homes, and
we unable to aid them, is almost insufferable.
We beg you urge our Government to have us
exchanged.
Respectfully, yours, &c.,
WM. C. HUMPHREYS.
