***Conservative papers throughout
the State will please give the above a
few insertions, and urge upon the peo
pie the importance of immediate organ¬
ization.
Let it Out.—T he Atlanta Opinion
again threatens to expose the rascality
of Blodgett, Bullock and others of the
Augusta ring. Would it not be just as
well to threaten less, and expose a little
more ?
_
Chase vs. Grant — The Grant men
in the “Black Crook” at Atlanta called
for a new deal. They got it and did
not get but five votes for their man ;
the balance were for Chase, Bard’s
ground swell, appears lo be a slim afftiir
in his own neighborhood.
More Robbery.— The “Black Crook
Troupe," at Atlanta proposes to rob the
Treasury of Georgia to pay for stationa
rv, fuel, and other things. Pope has
consented to help them do the job.
Cotton at Different Points.—T he
past week’s receipts at Macon were
(1,441 bales; total receipts ('including
stock of 913 bales) 48,3“l hales ; sldp
m tits, 29,359; stock Doc. SOih, 18,872.
Savannah the past week received 23,
062 bait s ; total receipts 193,604 bales ;
stock Dec. 19th 49,054. Of Sen Islands
she has received 2,469 bales ; slock 623.
Apalachicola to Dec. 14th had rectfiv
ed 2,410 hales and stock 1,140.
Broke Jail.—S ix negroes, among
whom was the notorious George Shor¬
ter, broke jail Thursday night at Union
Springs, Ala., and have not yet been
captured. All the, freedineu who es¬
caped were ringleaders of a rascally
Loyal League gang, of whose doings in
that section our readers have been
posted. Shorter had been sentenced to
six mouths imprisonment. The Olliers
had not been tried. The jail is hardly
more than a “wooden calaboose,"
insufficiently guarded. The names of
the Iini escaped Johnson, negroes Andrew are Benning, GaorgeShorter, Jacob
Pole, Joe Crosby, Alfred Middleton.
Gloomy State of Affurs in Ar¬
kansas.—O ne of the editors ol the
Memphis Avalanche has just completed
a three week’s sojourn in Arkansas.
He gives a gloomy picture of affairs in
that State. lie says :
Th® reports which have reached this
city have not been exaggerated. In¬
deed, the condition of tin country is
worse than represented. Gloom and
despair farming pervade the minds of the entire
population. The] issesof those
engaged in the culture of citton will bo
enormous. But few will p ly expenses.
The losses this year are uueh larger
than those of last year. Planters are
rapidly hands, paying off and disc.larging their
being unable to feed them long¬
er. The negro is completely demoral¬
ized, Most of them have argely over¬
drawn their wages; mid, 1 aving learn¬
ed this fact, many of then have aban¬
doned their employers, leaving the cot¬
ton still unpicked, aud .lie result is
planters are compelled to e nploy others
to pick out their cotton, foi which labor
they have already paid. Vs so many
planters will refuse to raise cotton next
year, thousands of negroes will he
thrown out of employment, and they
will he forced to live by a regular sys¬
have tem of pilfering aud robbery. They
already commenced killing stock,
stealing horses, ploughs i nd harness,
with a view of'setting up ft r themselves
next year. Game is abuuiuut in Ar¬
kansas, and most of those who have
abandoned their employers are living

who have stock or anything to
steal live iu constant dread. The same
state of affairs exists throughout the
Southern States. What we saw and
heard in Arkansas cau bp seen in every
section of tfio South.
Hon. John A. Cuthbekt—W e re¬
gret to learn that this venerable citizen
has lost the place of Assistant Clerk of
tho United States District Court for tne
Southern District of Alabama. Thirty
years guished ago Judge Cuthbert was a distin¬
and influential citizen of the
State of Georgia. lie represented that
State iu the Congress of the Uuited
States, and, for many years, as the edi¬
tor of the Federal Union, a leading
journal published at Milledgeville, he
exercised a commanding lufiueuce in
the political-affairs of thaf State.
Now fur down in the vaie ol years,
his once large fortuue gone, dependent
for a livelihood upon his still remarka¬
ble energies, it is to be regretted that
he is deprived of tho scant salary al¬
lowed tor an humble office by a Govern¬
ment which he has served and defended
for half a century. A better and a purer
man than Joiiu A Cuthbert never lived.
—Mobile Advertiser Sf Register.
Wants to flay Hangman —Tho At¬
lanta correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from that city under
date of the 9th, has the following pleas¬
ant notice of delegate Hopkins, who is
under the cloud, just at present, of an
indictment for perjury in ihe Uuited
States District Court. Rather a san¬
guinary family, this. If Hayes, of he
Savannah Republican, should “haud in
his checks, ’ some of the Hopkins fami¬
ly may have the delight of hearing their
own necks “crack.”
“Mr. Hopkins, of McIntosh county
is an extreme Radical of \ht most vin¬
dictive nnd violent cha. icier. He loves
to express his-desire to vitness the
hanging of all rebels., the confiscation
of their ^states, and the beggurjf of their
families He contemplates with pecu¬
liar gratification tho hanging of Mr. A.
H. Stephens, and menriofis the delight
it would afford him (Hopkii s) lo tie a

REFI’OEEN FROM BEM»E«TA
BtLITY.
We know that strong men fly from
the persecution of enemies, that they
seek refuge from imminent perils when
manly courage is no longer able to meet
the fearfhl odds of strength and DUtn
bers. History teaches that they even
abjure the world aud the walks of am¬
bition to escape temptations, bearing iu
their Embrace the danger of moral pol'
ltition. The brave aud the gifted,
borne down by misfortunes and envi¬
roned by misery, have grasped the
suicidal cup to end an existence iusup
portable by the absence of Hope. For
all of these we indulge a sympathy and
charity which impels us to cast upon
tneir deeds aud memories the mantle of
silence. But ior those who voluntarily
abandon the respectability of their past
lives and associations, who wantonly
forfeit the good opinion of friends who
have trusted and honored them, we can
find nothing but words of severest re¬
probation. Georgia, burdened down
with a multitude oi woes, has the un¬
happy fortune to furnish a brace of ex
exauiples of the latter class. Mr. Joshua
Hill, a peevish aud disappointed poli¬
tician, who iu 1861, denied the sover¬
eign voice of his State when proclaim¬
ed by a Convention of white iucd, the
least one of whom was his peer in all
the attrihules of a virtuous and intelli¬
gent manhood, smelling the flesh pots
from afar, has returned lo his native
Slate to seek tho robes of a Governor
or a Senator’s toga, from a band of igno¬
rant and vicious vagabonds, assemblod
by fraud and protected by force. For
tho honor of a seat amidst tho barbar
rians aud adventurers, who are conspir¬
ing to ruin the last vestiges of liberty
left to his former friends, bis relatives
and neighbors, lie returns thanks in a
haiangue breathing blood and veng¬
eance against a people whose suffrages
lie craved but a few short years since.
He comes empty, hungered and pining
from hie self-sought, home, nigh unto
the drippings from the Radical sanctu¬
ary, to seek solace for a vain, restless
and disappointed ambition in the plau¬
dits aud favors of a conlave of conspir¬
ators aud usurpers. With intemperate
unreasonable and petulant appeals, he
seeks to put upou trail of the virtuous
and decent white people of Georgia the
black hounds, raised and fostered by
their kindness, and the Imported curs
who have straggled from the camps of
an invading uruiy.
Ho proposes to aid with wiiat modi¬
cum of talent, influence and energy lie
may possess to subordinate the white to
the black race iu this noble aud glorious
old commonwealth. He tells the grin
mug Chimpanzee, who smiles approv¬
ingly upon his splenetic utterances, that
here in Georgia no bar shall he put up¬
on his political aspirations, that his
power shall not be em bed even by (ho
fragile obaiu that marks tho line be¬
tween the privileges of the white and
black man in Massachusetts, tho mobt
fanatical of tho Hew England States.
He has left unsaid no word that could
cotnthend him and his cause to those
who, under the protection of aimed
meu, may hold aud exercise tempo¬
rary political power and privileges. He i
well deserves all the honors that they
can shower upon him, and he may yet
enjoy the short-lived triumph of wear¬
ing those bestowed by a mulatto mob,
which could never have been won from
the hands of honorable and intelligent
white meu. Iu the hour of victory,
when his impatient soul shall have for¬
gotten, in its ecstacy, tbe piques and
disappointments of the past, we would
hitl him recall for the moment these
W’ordsof his written to a people writh¬
ing and struggling iu tho throes ol a
desperate revolution:
“The war, with its afflictive train of
suffering, ed eradicate privation all idea and death, of has serv¬
to reconstruc¬
tion, even with those who made it the
basis of their arguments iu favor of
disunion. I cthcays regarded it as im¬
possible, Northern except by the success of the
arms, and then only the Union
in name, and not the free government of
our fathers. 1 want no such Union
as that and will not accept it.
The best argument m favor of disun¬
ion, and the one most relied upon by its
advocates, was apprehension for It tho it se¬
curity of our slave property. peril teas
not then, in danger it is in extreme
now. So far as Nr. Lincoln and the
abolitionists are concerned, there is noth¬
ing left us but to resist to the last , by all
the means at our command, their ejforts
to destroy and despoil t is."
If the memory of the times when
they were written und tho people to
whom they were addressed should not
wither the leaves of the fillet placed up¬
on his brow by the ballots of Africans,
there wil lbe a silent punishment carried
to the heart of Joshua Hill, in the
thought of what he once was, what he
is now.
But we turn to another Georgian,
once honored and respected among her
people, t&o rival of Mr. Hill for politic
al preferment, his equal iu lustful ambi¬
tion—Dr. V. II. M. Miller. Some years
since he rose to the political surface to
display somewhat brilliant aud versa¬
tile talents, in the defence of his people
against the dangers of toreigu domina¬
tion. Accomplished in his profession,
popular in manner, enthusiastic in sup¬
port of his convictions, the torrents of
veibosity which rolled from him at the
bare thought of an Irishman passing
between the wind aud his nobility, wou
for him Uie soubriquet, “The Demos¬
thenes of the Mountains." Connected
with the Medical University of the
State aud attached to the “lost cause”
of the Southern people by valuable
services in .the field aud hospital, he
became to l>e regarded one of the
true and tried men of Georgia. In an
evil houi lie consented to descend into
the black depths of niggerdom aua
emerged as a duly nominated candidate
for the mulatto convention. Those who
kuew him best, professed to see in this
conduetbut an honest effort to restrain
the mad and revolutionary schemes
apt fc be act afloat in such a body as
was -ikeiy u> he chosen under military
surveillance. We knew -
and felt lim*
no man who had entered the nest of
unclean birds could come out witn un¬
stained garments. Our worst appre-
liensions have been more than realized,
for in the late proceedings of Pope’s
Coevention, and subsequent to Mr.
Joshua Hill's bid for the Senatorship,
we find the following trumping card
from Dr. Miller:
Resolved by the people in, Convention
Assembled, That the administration of
Brevet Maj. Gen Pope, commanding
Third Military District, receives the
cordial approval of this Convention,
and we hereby tender to Gen. Pope our
hearty thanks for the wisdom, justice
and moderation with which he has ex¬
ercised the vast powers conferred upon
hi in by the authority oi the Congress ol
the United States.
Is there a Georgian from the seaboard
to the mountains who is not ashamed of
Dr. Mt¥ef ? Who would have suppos¬
ed that'a man whose vehement ravings
a few years back over the fact that
white men from foreign lands were al¬
lowed to vote, would be found now the
apologist for and the laudator of one
who has spared none of the powerful
means at his command to Africanize
the State Of Georgia. We can imagine
the grateful whine of the imported curs
and the applaudatory chatter of the go¬
rillas, when a man once noted for his
worth, and respected for his character
and services, was found to be so far lost
from his once high estate as to frame a
resolution of thanks to a man, whose
despotic and arbitrary rule ove r a de¬
fenceless people, ha, but darkened that
reputation already loathed and despised
by the gallant men who wear with him
the uniform of an honorable service.
We thank Dr. Miller that his resolution
was so framed as to spare the people of
Georgia, and carried with it but the
thanks and gratitude of the concern of
which he appears to be a worthy mem¬
ber. If McCay and Akeiman had so
conducted themselves, the people of
Geoigia would neither have been sur¬
prised or disappointed, for they have
been somewhat accustomed to have
their kindness so repaid by men of their
nativity. They have not been astouish
islied at Farrow for tbo reason that they
are well awan that the most rtspegta
ble families frequently raise a black
sheep. But, from all ol their antece¬
dents and associations from their births
up, they had a right to expect better
things of Joshua Hill and Dr. Miller,
refugees from respectability, and
“Par nubile fratruvi."
