The Southern Relief Meeting in
New York City.
That our readers may know what was
done at the great meeting in New York
City, lor the relief of the poor in the
South, wo give the following description
of it from the New York Sun, of Jan.
26th. It will be found of sufficient in
terest to warrant a perusal:
A meeting was held last evening at
the Cooper Institute, in response to a
call made by a number of influential
gentlemen, to inaugurate measures for
the relief of the people of the South
suffering from the want of the necessa
ries of life, in consequence of the almost
total failure of the late crops and the
devastations of war. There were about
two thousand persons present, a large
number of whom were ladies. Among
the gentlemen on the platform were
Major General Anderson. Henry Ward
Beecher, Mopes Grinuell, Horace dree
ley, Edward Bright, Dr. Dowling, and
numerous others.
The meeting was opened by Mr. R.
H. McCurdy, who announced that the
Hon. Peter Cooper had been appointed
to preside over the meeting. Mr. Cooper
then oamr forward, amid loud cheers,
and said :
SPF.KCH OF PETER COOPER.
You will please, gentlemen and la
dies, to accept my thanks for the honor
of being called to preside on this occa
sion. We have met, gentlemen and la
dies, to inaugurate measures that will, I
hope, save thousands throughout our
Southern country from starvation and
death. Many of those who are now
suffering for bread, but two short years
ago were in arms, striving with all their
might, to work out the destruction of
our National Union. Thank God, and
the noble band of patriots who braved
death in all its forms, to save our Glo
rious union of States from being broken
and destroyed—a Union that is now
able and willing to lake into its shelter
ing arms every inhabitant of our com
mon country. Our people from the
North, and from the East , and from
the West, are determined —to show to
our Southern neighbors—that we are
not now and never were their enemies.
And now—notwithstanding all the
wretchedness and the ruin that their
terrible heresy of secession has brought
on oar country, where thousands have
been lopped away with half their limbs,
and are now- begging bitter bread
through realms, their valor saved our
c«>u ntry.
Notwithstanding all that has passed,
we are still resolved to do tl e n all the
good we can. And, alter having given
bread to the hungry, aud clothing to the
naked, we are sure that there is nothing
that we can do besides, that is so im
portant for those people and States,
iatelv in rebellion, as for us toinsist on the
adoption of every proper form of guaran
tee that will secure our country and people
from the recurrence of such scenes o(
death and desolation as those that we
are here this night to deplore. We
hope that the day will soon come when
the people of the Southern States will
unite with us and ask for measures that
will establish justice as the only possible
way to promote the general welfare, and
effectually secure the blessings of liberty
for ourselves and our posterity. I shall
now have the pleasure to introduce to
you gentlemen who will more fully in
form you of those scenes of suffering
that claim from us our sympathy and
help.
A list of Vice Presidents and Secre
taries of the meeting were then read and
approved, and the Chairman then an
nounced that Mr. Edward Bright would
address the meeting.
SPEECH OF MR. BRIGHT.
Mr.. Bright said he had no especial
facilities lor obtaining minute informa
tion in regard to the condition of the
South, except such as had grown out of
his relation's with a weekly newspaper.
He bad had three communications Irom
gentlemen irom different parts of the
South, which had produced such an
impression upon him that he resolved to
make the facts known to his friends,
and see if some means of relief could
not be instituted. The relief movement
originated some ten days ago by the
incidental meeting of two gentlemen at
a dinner table, when the conversation
turned on the destitution in the South,
and what could be done for its relief.
It was agreed to try and do something,
and they iuviled u number of gentlemen
to meet at tbe Fifth Avenue llulel,
when a discussion was had, which
ended in the meeting being called.
Mr. Bright then spoke at considerable
length on the failure of the crops South,
through flood and drought, and said
that from one half to nine tenths of the
grniu crop throughout the States had
failed. In Mississippi, there was not
one fifth of the average grain c-rop. It
was the same in Georgia, and Governor
Patton, of Alabama, says that the
scarcity of food is such in that Stale
that the people would most gladly re
ceive and acknowledge any assistance
proffered by the Northern States, 'i he
Speaker concluded liis address by up
pealing for aid, and said that lie be
lieved it would do more to cement the
North and South together in the com
mon bond of unity and love than all
the legislation could possibly do. Mr.
Bright then retired amid cheers.
THE RESOLUTION'S.
A scries of resolutions were read, lo
the effect that the intelligence of holler
ing in the South which reaches us here
appeals with irresistible force to North
ern men to come forward to their relief;
that a Southern Belief Commission he
appointed, consisting of thirty mgn,
with power to udd to their number, and
to elect their officers, together with an
Executive Committee; and that it be
the duty ot this Cumtuissiou lo do ull
that they shell believe to be necessary
in raising contributions and in distribut
ing supplies among the destitute with
out respect of race or opinion f inviting
the coOperstion of the ladies of the
North, and likewise inviting other cities
to share in the *aod work. The reso
lutions ware adopted amid cheers.
The Ohuirmnn then amteanced the
next speaker to be the Rev. Henry Wnrd
Beecher, which announcement was re
reived aith tremendous cheering. Mr.
Beecher advsuoed to the front of the
platform and said ;
SRGKrII or HENRI WARP BEECHER.
Mr, Chairman, Laities, and Gentle
men: I have during my Hhs snd within
the last nineteen years, been present on
many occasions where the citizens of
New York were convened to take into
consideration the state of the country,
and especially Be affecting the relations
between the North and the South. The
earliest I remember was at Castle Gar
den. where the Union Saving Committee
appointed a meeting nt which I was not
present, as the objects of the meeting
were not peculiarly in nccotdance with
my views. It was alter the passage of
the famous fugitive slave laws, which
was supposed to be a medicine for all
our ills. That puh'ie meeting, I may
say, represented one extreme. It was
at the lime when the spirit of liberty
was almost extinct, and the spirit of
evil domination culminated. That great
wheel which God turns Ims made a
complete revolution, aud to night we
see a meeting convened for the purpose
—not only in regard to the nature of
the meeting—of representing the su
premacy of the conscience of the nation
ibr liberty, after the destruction of slavery
in alt its forms.
So great have been the changes, that
many scarcely kuow themselves, and
can hardly maintain their identify if
they refer back sixteen or seventeen
years. But the change which has tnken
plaee in individuals is certainly not
greater in its kind than that which has
taken place in the whole community.
Old precedents are gone, and its no use
raking them up. Ideas are changed
jnst as blossoms change to germs, germs
to green fruit, and green fruit changes
to ripe. The country has changed its
views—not one man, but millions of
men. Not only that the change is one
had by reason, and by it came that
change in put lie sentiment by which
this nation agreed to its own principles,
and was willing to stand before God, a
nation of freemen who had sworn
fealty to themselves and to the natural
rights of man, without any distinction.
Then that sentiment, God, like a smith,
thrust into the fire of war, and brought
it out hard as steel, and, with nu edge
that cannot be turned. "(Cheers.), It is
impossible that such a war as this shall
take place on suefy a scale—it is impos
sible that a war that runs through more
than four years, even in a nation of such
abundance as this, should not go t.u
when it had stopped—(laughter)—its
sequences are still on the land. Those
battles that were fought years ago are
still working out their moral results, and
the physical distress which war brings
in its turn have not spent themselves
out yet.
I hold as firmly as I have any «on
viction in my soul, that this whole na
tion was guilty of a sin, than which
none can be more atrocious, considering
our history and principles—the sin of
slavery. The South was guilty as the
holder and the North as the abettor. 1
remember a time when I came on the
stage here when the moral influence of
the North was with the South, refusing
to go against slavery. The politics of
the country and the commercial re
sources of the country were in favor of
slavery. They did not bold the slaves,
but the public sentiment of the North
sustained the practice. They did not
draw the note but they endorsed it, and
when the war came, it was a punishment
that God sent, I believe, for the sins of
the slaveholders. Now ihey have been
punished, and we have been punished.
The reverend gentleman spoke at con
siderable length on this point, stating
that our sins were equal, and that we
were receiving punishment from God,
and stated that there was a great work
to be done—a legislative work—“but,”
said he, “while we believe that you and
I agree that that alone cannot settle our
difficulties—when you have made points
of legislation, when you have fixed cer
tain great policies, then comes the moral
and social reconstruction. A nation
like this can never be recdnstructed by
edict—sympathy again, the interplay of
interests, mutual respect, at last ripen
ing into long, long intimacy, mutual
love—this is reconstruction, when the
old enthusiasm comes back, and we
meet agaiu under the old flag. (Great
cheering.) This appears to me to he a
touching case of poverty, put to us to
test whether we do love our enemies.—
Mr. Beecher said that it was not strange
that people should dislike their enemies
—it was human nature; but if u Chris
tian disliked a person or persons, it was
no reason why lie should not relieve their
pressing wants.
We should pray for them, not hate
them, and we are to heap thus living
coals upon their heads. I)o you remem
ber that parable where a certain man
went to Jericho and fell among thieves,
and how a priest that came that way
and didn’t think it necessary to go and
Bee what the matter was. and passed by
on the other side of the way ? The
cause was evident—that man was not a
priest, and he only took care of his own
sect. Then came a Levite, and when
he came where the poor man was, he
was more merciful than the priest; he
did look on him and pussed—he was not
a Levite. Then came a Samaritan, who
did not belong to the aristocracy, being
only a poor Democrat [laughter], and had
no other connection with men except that
they were his brethren. He came and
poured oil into the wounds of the poor
man. The Samaritan did not ask his
sect, but treated him as a fellow-citizen
and a brother. God says to us to-night,
“Who is your brother ?’’ Is it not the
man that is in need, if he is in the South ?
You whould have no doubt if it was a
man who had never injured you or
yours. There are those suffering and
in need in the South. God says go
where they are and pour oil into their
wounds—take them up and care tor
them. “I believe in revenge,” said the
speaker. ‘‘Many men will suffer wrong
and not show any spirit. It is natural
if a man wrongs you to give him as
good as lie sends.
1 believe in that, I preach it, nml try
to practice it, and fry to make him just
as uncomfortable us you can ; but you
are not at liberty to choose your method.
II lie hate you give it hack to him in
love. If he persecute you, sec what you
can do in spite of him to improve lii.s
circumstances. If lie damns you, pray
for him. Mr. Beecher continued at
great length to instil into his hearers
the principle of brotherly love, and that
it was the duty of the North to render
assistance to our brothers in the South.
He concluded by predicting that the
time would come when we should all he
united, when New York and Alabama
will know no differences between each
other; the day will come when.there
will bo uo war iu the States, hut llio I
nation will be one, end their sympathy
and kindness will help to bring on that
glorious day. Mr. Beecher was very
freqnautly interrupted with applause,
ana resumed his seat amid great cheer
injf. The following gentlemen were
then announced as the
•ournEa* relief commission.
Wm A Booth, Wm M Vermilye,
Nathan Bishop, GeoC Ward,
W E Dodge, Jr, David Crawford,
J T Johnson, L W Jerome, •
.1 M Brown, Fred L Olmstead,
E C Cowden, • R M McCurdy,

Howard Potter, Cornelius Agnew,
B F Butler, Fred E Foster,
Archibald Russell, J M Bruce, Jr,
J P Morgan, W m Osborne,
Seth B Hunt, S Humphreys,
R B Mintnrn, Robert Potter.
The Chairman then introduced the
Hon. Horace Greeley, who was cheered
lustily as be advanced to the front of the
platform.
REMARKS OF HORACE GREELEY.
Mr. Greeley said that he deemed
that there were many things which it
was nut wise to say on these oc« asions,
tor fear that wlmt might be said in
perfect truth nnd charity may seem to
mean a Phariseacal aspect, and he
would, therefore, speak only on the one
question of human suffering. He then
pictured a country, throngh which a
hostile army has marched, how fences
were burned, cattle taken, and the whole
tnnd laid waste. He thought that aside
from any motives of charity, aiding the
South nt the present time would pay
the North pecuniary. If we sent them
clothes and food, and enabled them to
till their land, they would have a fair
harvest next year. Mr- Greeley said
there were at the present time half a
million widows nnd children in the
South, which the war had made and
who are wanting for bread. It New
York woqld give a million dollars for
this purpose, he thought Boston, Phila
delphia, and all the large cities, would
fall in her train. Mr. Greeley spoke at
considerable length, and at the conclu
sion of his address offered a resolution
that the clergy be asked to call the
attention of their congregations to the
subject, and ask their aid, which was
adopted.
J. M. Browne, Esq., was then ap
pointed treasurer, and it was announced
that he was ready to receive donations.
Several gentlemen then made short ad
dresses, at the close of which the audi
.ence dispersed.
GEORGIA ITEMS.
The Watchman says that John White,
Esq., has been elected President of the
National Bank of Athens, and J. A.
Carlton, Esq., Book-keeper. F. W.
Adams, Esq., is still Cashier and Teller,
and one of the best to be found any
where—prompt, courteous, and thor
oughly posted in all the details of his
business.
Mr. Van Epps fell into an excavation
on the corner of Forsyth and Marietta
streets, Atlanta, the other night, and
broke several ribs.
Two passenger trains now leave At
lanta daily for the North over the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad—one leaving
at 8:50 A. M., and the other at 7 P. M.
A Boston company in the gold region
of Georgia, has brought water eight
miles to Hanby Mountain, and is en
gaged in washing it down, tearing gul
lies in it a hundred feet deep.
On the Rome railroad the train will
hereafter leave at 8 o’clock, A. M., in
stead of 9:45 as heretofore, and return
at 2 P. M. as formerly.
Alluding to a recent change of the
passeugeracheduleon the Athens branch
the Watchman facetiously observes:
“Old King Cole is a queer old soul,
And fond of a change is he.”
The same paper says that the elegant
residence of the late Hon. Asbury Hull
was sold, one day last week, to Archer
Griffeth, Esq., of Barbour county, Ala.
The price paid was $9,000.
The Columbus Su>i says that Joe
Clark, a barber of that city, has recently
gone into the labor broker business, and
broke into jail out in Mississippi. He
took out about one hundred freedinen to
Jackson, when the rumor got out that
he was carrying them to Cuba, and tho
Bureau agent put him in jail, and took
charge of his “chattels-” The Sun
says Joe was taking the negroes to Mr.
S. M, Wellbdrn, in Arkansas.
The South Carolina Railroad. —
This old corporation does not show any
signs of age, hut the new year has
dawned upon increased activity and
progress. The damage done during the
war, and by neglect, has been iu.a great
measure repaired, and the sigus of the
times indicate an onward march that
will soon place the road in its primitive
condition. Freight is being rapidly
conveyed to every point in the State,
and the forwarding business has become
one of considerable importance.
These supplies consist principally of
corn and guano, which articles have
been bought largely by the planters of
the interior; the scarcity of provisions,
consequent on the failure of the crcp,
created a demand that has increased the
freight traffic considerably, and the
planters, in order to avoid a similar
failure iti the future, have imported a
large quantity of the most popular fer
tilizers.
The rolling stock has been steadily on
the increase ; new cars have been built,
and the workmen iu the Company Shops
have been busy in turning out both
freight and passenger cars. At present,
they are engaged in retouching sev ral
old veterans, and constructing two eon
ductor’s cars, which will combine all of
the new improvements, being fitted up
with raised skylights, running nearly
the entire length of the car, and which
will add greatly to both its looks and
comfort. The entire work done on these
cars is perfected in the shop, even to
the upholstering and the finer touches
that are requisite to give them a perfect
finish. Several new cars have recently
been put on the road, and tho work of
construction is still progressing, and be
fore many months have elapsed, every
train will be supplied with either new
cars, or with those that have been re
modelled and improved, until they can
not he distinguished from their younger
neig It bors. —<1 hailettim Ntws.
—The voluntary return of negroes to
their masters has been frequently chron
icled of late by the Southern press
as an evidence of the beneficent
working of slavery. Fifteen such left
Lynchburg on Saturday for their old
home in Fauquier county, Virginia,
aided by funds from their lormer mas
ters. They were all young aud healthy,
and all females save one.

Trade, in its present position, to present its facilities and claims upon that patronage that
has, for many years past, placed it far in advance of all competitors.
STOVES, —In this department our stock is so large and varied that newspaper enu
merating in detail is impracticable. As our leading
FIRST CLASS COOK STOVE,
WE OFFER THE
“GOOD SAMARITAN”
1‘« indicated by the above eut. This Stove we have been selling for six years past,
p»nso with PERFECT SATISFACTION to the buyer, and iu beauty of design,

PERFECT AMD COMPLETE COOK STOVE,
yit stands to-day without a rival, as an inspection will convince tho most careful exam
iner. Amdng our other Cook Stoves wo enumerate tho
“QUEEN OF THE SOUTH,” “MAEION,”
“HARVEST QUEEN,” “RED JACKET,” Era, Etc.
/*£**. these are FIRST CLASS STOVES, well known throughout Georgia and South
Cawdina. We have also a large variety of medium and second class goods in this line,
warranted to PERFORM WEIaL, but lighter weight and less expensive than those
enumerated.
HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS.—Our stock in this department is so LARGE and
varied, so well known during our long existence here, consisting of
PLAIN, PLANISHED, AND JAPANNED TINWARE.
WOOD, WILLOW,
AND

this branch of our business we .promise NOTHING NEW. That same punctuality and
ears for details that has been a well known characteristic of this House in times past will
be rigidly observed and continued. •

we shall, MORE THAN EVER, give our closest and most ENERGETIC ATTENTION
to all kinds of
Heavy Out Doors Work
