Mr. W. A. gnoBEB Is the General Travelling Agent
for the Mobnixu News, and is authorized to receive
and receipt for subscriptions to the Daily, Tri-Week

•THE MORNING NEWS AT TWENTY
FIVE CENTS PER WEEK.
We have recently systematized , and brought into
operation the old plan of weekly subscriptions to the
ti.i^v Mousing Mews, and within the past few weeks
lion, under tiii3plan,-haa largely increased,
■ to place the Mobnino Mews in the hands of
j Mechanic, every laboring man, and every per-
l of intelligence ; and knowing that tnere are many
t afford to pay five or ten dollars right out
df pocket for a six month’s or a year’s subscription,
who wonld not feei the expenditure oftwenty-flve
cents per week, for a daily newspaper, we have insti
tuted the plan, ana engaged Hr. H. O. Merritt to at
tend to that particular business.' * Persons in any part
of the city who desire to tike the Housing News, at
wenty-five cents per week can give their names to
him, or by leavmg them at the office, they will be at
tended to. Collections win bo made every Saturday.
THE MAXES.
In an article under the above heading, pub
lished in the News of last Friday, in speak
ing of route agents appropriating and giving
away the papers belonging to subscribers,
we alluded particularly to those on the Flori-
day Railroads, and not to the gentlemen who
run on the trains which leave this city. We
know that they have even , gone outside of
their instructions in order to facilitate the
prompt delivery of psjjers. Several of the
present and former roots agents are personal
friends of the proprietor of the News, and
had he thought that they would apply the
article to themselves, it would have been more
- explicit. However, we intend to investigate
the matter farther, and place the blame where
it belongs.

VOTTDOOISM.
* It is reported in the papers of Louisiana
and some other portions of the Southern States
that since the emancipation of the negroes,
and the removal of the restraints incident to
a condition of servitude, a tendency on their
part to.relapse into,a._state of'icQe and impro
vident barbarism, and to embrace the heath-
the saVage state, has become alarmingly ap
parent, and that especially Vondooism, aspe-
eies of idolatrous superstition formerly but
little known among the native-born negro
population, is gaining many converts, whose
observances of its savage and disgusting rites
are described as most revolting. The Phari
saical editor of the New York bun, ever ready
to vindicate the negro and to asperse the
character and impugn the motives of the
White people of the Sonth, alluding to this
subject, Bays:
“ One or two things are noticeable in this
relation. So long as the peculiar institution
flourished in the South, no one ever heard of
Vondooism, although it was probably as wide
ly disseminated then as how. The transfor
mation of the slave into a 1 freeman and a
voter seems suddenly to have impressed the
public mind with the terrible significance of
this relic of primitive barbarism. Who is re
sponsible for its existence, if indeed it does
iexjst to the extent alleged? ; Clearly those
- who, having control of the negro population
. while in a state of servitude, did nothing to
eradicate the superstition, bnt rather, by
discouraging secular or religious instruction,
suffered them to remain an ignorant and de-
. graded caste. Voudooism, if'not tike off
spring ofthe institution of slavery, was its fos
ter child, 'and itull becomes those who helped
' maintain the monster to affect to fear it. They
should; on the contrary," do all in' their power
to neutralize its evil influences, and that
seems now ;the farthest from their intentions:
It is a Well ' known foot" that Vondooism,
Fetishism, and various other heathenish isms
were common among the'.Africans brought to
* this country by the ..New England. and Old
England slave traders, which even the-civili-
zing and restraining influences of slavery’had
not entirely eradicated: from-among their de
scendants when they were released from those
influences and turned iree, with bad tutors, if
not to relapse immediately into the normal
condition of the race, at least to develop
those savage instincts and traits Of charac
ter 'which long contact with Christian
civilization had not ~ entirely obliterated.
The “transformation, of the slave into
a freeman and voter,” did not., trans
form him from a negro to a Caucassian. It
did not change his color nor his moral caste.
If his barbarous instincts, while in'his former
condition, did not “ impress'tile public mind
with the terrible significance “that they have
since assumed, it was because he was not free
then, neither to vote nor to be indolent and
vicipus,mid-to’^d4bd^£ msnd anfl-bbdy in
the dark superstitions and idolatries of his
heathen progenitors. Those who had a sel
fish interest in him, ifno higher motive, had
cared for him, had disciplined him inhealth
ful industry and, wholesome moral restraint,
so essential to his well being. It is hot true
that the master. dasgf2‘ did nothing to eradi
cate the superstition ” #f the steye, nor that
they “discouraged
dedto.
^ . country or in Europe,
but -even-’ with ‘-'the'-eddcatcd' masses*'of
the editor’s own pre-eminently enlightened
section. We believe we speak within bounds
when we assert that the majority of the slaves
of Georgia, in tkeir day, were better instruct
ed in the simple truths of the Christian reli
gion than the same class of population in
any past of the old world; and. that there was
less scepticism and 1 infidelity to be found
among a given number of them than will
befliscoveredinrthe same number of, people
in aiiy part of New England."’ * The professors ’
among them coti^Lnot dispute doctrinal points
with Rev. Hr. Chlocx or Rev. Hm«r Wabd j
Beecheu, or Philosopher Gbeelet; but there
were yery few of them who could' not ^In
struct those modem Christian .luminaries in
pure moral ethics br ithe : "essential^ doctrines
of Christian faith! In their theology they
wergvitotj quito-np,. ta.theI’highejr Oonr”
standard of "New J ' v England^ ortimdoxy,
which- discards the ■ creeds'- and’- precepts
of Gie Fathers, and ^jeveitt ,th§pJg$Ug£ it-!
sd£_ .wljen. ^the
favorite ism,' or the carrying of ah electron.
But their, simple religion bore the scripture
-test; and such as it Was they owed their pos
session of it to slavery.' Slaveholding South
ern humanity and .Christianity had doneifor;
the black African savage, what free, North
ern’philanthropy had hot done, inchnever
can do, for the red American savage. Origi
nally the African was sunk in as heathenish a
' barbarism as that of the Indian. "If the “high*;
er law” doctrine of the equality of races is
' trne, the lndian was the equal of the African. |
. Since the. firat contact of the whites with
either race on this continent; for more than,
a century, the Indian savage has been edu
cated in the school of the : largest liberty,
while the.. African savage 'has been schooled-
under the influences of the 4 ’peculiar institu
tion.” The result, which is seen in the com
parative advancement of the two races in
civilization, proves either that the new theory
of the equality of races is an error, or that the
latter method of culture and enlightenment
is best adapted to the first stages of human
progress from the darkness of heathenism to
the light of Christian civilization. If, as the
editor and his party maintain, the African is
to-day fit for the ballot, while the Indian is
only worthy of the bullet, the fact is an in-
■’coutiovertible .testimonial- -in- favor of the
humanizing and civilizing influences of the
“institution” in which he was fitted for his
new estate.
It is false then to charge that a heathenish
superstition, which formerly only existed in
isolated cases as a relic of African barbarism,
is the “foster child of slavery,” and it is
equally as absurd to talk of educating Vou
dooism out of the race by the same system of
“higher law” culture, which, if it has edu
cated Witch-burning out of the Puritan, has
implanted in its stead a* more arrogant, pro
scriptive, unrighteous and malignant intole
rance.
Bnt the editor with a heartless and imperti
nent flippancy characteristic of his class pro
ceeds :
The Southern people are aware by this time
that the reconstruction laws of Congress are
a finality, and that whether they like it or not,
the negro is invested with the eleotive fran
chise. To accuse him of grossly superstitious
practices wfll not better their cause. The
remedy, if aremedy.be needed, lies in their
own hands, and they alone must educate him to
that degree of intelligence which befitsthe man
who is entitled to cast a ballot. The people of
the North have no concern in the matter, ex
cept so for as they may feel an interest in sin
cere efforts to elevate a feUow being in the
social scale. The sooner the white race of the
South commence this good work, the better
will it be for them and their colored fellow-
citizens.
We repeat that we have no faith in such an
educational scheme as the editor wonld pre
scribe—such as his carpet-bag emissaries and
miscegenating school-marms have endeavored
to inaugurate. With the best wishes for our
“colored fellow-citizens,”we would rather give
them over to their native Vondooism, than
see them indoctrinated with all the vile isms
which comprise the religions and political
faith of the editor and his party, with which
they have kept the world in commotion for
the last half century and finally brought Con
stitutional government to an end and the
country to the verge of ruin. Left to our
selves with no impertinent outside interfer
ence the white and black races of the South
might adjust their relations, and work out
tlieir destiny in mutual good'will, peace and
harmony. Bnt while these relations are to be
regulated for ns by the enemies of both races,
“whether they like it or not,” we fear that
Vondooism is not the worst evil with which
we will have to contend.
NEGRO DIABOLISM.
In our local column this morning will be
found an account of one of those lawless and
bloody outrages which are but too common
throughout the South, and which threaten
the general security and peace of communi
ty. The developments in this case disclose
a most Manning spirit of violence and insub
ordination to" law on the pari of a portion
of our colored population, showing the neces
sity for the adoption of prompt and effective
measures for the protection of the lives and
property of our citizens.
The ease is briefly stated thus. The gard-
ners and farmers in the vicinity of the city
being exposed to continual robberies and
danger, fromrthe depredations of the vaga
bond negroes whir infest the neighborhood,
were forced to organize a local police force
for mutual protection. This was done in
Strict obedience with the law ; the individu
als composing the force were sworn as special
police by the proper civil authorities, and
the patrol organized fur the purpose stated.
This fact-coming to the knowledge of the ne
groes, they openly declare their determina
tion to' set the. civil patrol at defiance, and
an ^anned.and. organized force invade the
veiy^suburbs of the city and shoot down Citi
zens while peacefully protecting their homes
and property.
Such, an act of lawless brigandism is un
paralleled in the history of onr State, and is
a disgrace to the government that has ex
posed its! peaceful citizens to such outrage.
This affair will be heralded at the North as
another Ku Klux outrage, or will perhaps be
used as an argument, if it has' not been insti
gated sa a reason for subjecting us again to
military /despotism. It is a bard suspicion,
bnt it is not difficult to suppose that tbs vile
political-parisites and moral traitors, who have
resorted to such vile falsehoods to back up
their appeals fotr Congressional intervention,
to retain them in power, wonld not hesitate
to incite their ignOrant an^ .brutal dupes to
violence-and bloodshed, in. order to illustrate
the inefficiency of civil government, and the
necessity for military force for the'protection
of life and property in Georgia. Such a
hypothesis is quite. as reasonable as to sup
pose-thatthe perpetrators of the outrage oh
Saturday night are simple enough .to imagine
that they can successfully prosecute'the open
war of rapine and plunder which they have
inaugurated, There is either connivance and
collusion iu this proceeding, or the ‘negroes
engaged in the affair are nearer to the level
of unreflecting brutes then we have supposed
them to be.
Be that- as it may, it is the duty of our
county and city authorities and of our citizens
to .vindicate. their ability to uphold and en
force the' laws and protect the lives "and
property of our people.
We fee! confident that the Mayor, County
Ordinary and Sheriff; will act promptly and
to the full extent of their authority. Let onr
citizens countenance and sustain them in all
necessary and proper measures to protect the
community.' Let liberal rewards be offered,
and vigilent and effective steps be taken to
discover and arrest the gnrillas by whom we
aresurronnded... Let them be hunted from
their Ini-king places, and brought to justice.
Self-Protection is not only an inalienable
right, brit a religious 'fluty.
THE INDISCRIMINATE SALE OF ARMS
AND AMMUNITION.
. Since.the bloody -affair of Saturday night
has disclosed the fact that we have in "bur
vicinity'-an jorganized and armed hand of
negro brigands, I murderers and robbers, it
has been suggested , that our merchants
should refuse to sell powder and buck-shot to
negroes of suspicious or unknown character.
It is said that purchases of ammunition and
guns are being constantly made in the city
byj'unk^pwp-’ negroes. 'Healers owe it to
tKeir own security, as well ap that of their fel
low-citizens, to exercise prudent discretion in
this matter.

Gbant of Land to use A. &.G. Railboad
Company in Alabama.—The Legislature of
our sister State of Alabama, some years ago,
passed an act, granting to the Atlantic and
Gnlf Railroad Company 3,720 acres of land
per mile, amounting in the aggregate-to 372,-
000 acres, which has been estimated to' be
worth $1;116,000. This munificent donation
has been forfeited—or it is so believed. So
we understand the matter from the statements
of Judge Yelvebton, of that State, who, we
learn, is how engaged issuing scrip for Jan da
that were granted to the road by an act of
Congress in 1862. ’ For $10;S0 he puts the
partyin possession of 160 acres of this re
served land. Should this proceeding be un
authorized, Colonel Screven and his board
should take such steps)' af'would'protect the
Company from litigation and loss.—Main-

Opening or tsx Suez Dahal.—We shall
probably soon hear of the opening of the

er, the Levrette, left Toulon for Egypt, the
intention being that, she should start from
Fort Said, through the canal, to the Red Sea
at the head of a. great procession of yacht
and^pleasure-boats, to the number, it ie said,
of a thousand. It is expected that the Vice
roy of Egypt Will be_ present, in his own
steam yacht. The regular opening of the ca
nal, for all purposes, ;s j;Qt expected to take
place before the flrst ! of next October. ''The
undertaking is, considered, by politicians,
equivalent to » heavy blow to England, inas
much as it will open a short and ready route

PHOTOGRAPHIC art in the most improved styles.
The-new Copying apparatus reprodaces old- ‘
almost good, and sometimes better, than the i
and af. any desired size. Coloring in oil, water7 and
Poatel or India ink. .
In the STEREOSCOPIC line Mr.'Jewell has nofbeen
idle; and many new and beautiful views have been
added to the list of Bonaventore, Laurel Grove and
Savumah, and soma fine river views. A large lot of
Frames, Sittings and Cases, selected from samples
in NewiYork. Frames of all sizes mode to order. - *
The almost universal ssgsfiMgisntfhe workof my
Gallery has riven in the past, warrants the assertion
that no better Artist than Mr. Jewell has been in Sa
vannah; and all those who. fevor him with their pat
ronage may rest assured that he will do his very best
to please them. J. N. WILSON,
