Meeting of Citizens.
Mr. Editor: —Will you please allow
a laboring man—another citizen—a
place in yoar interesting columns, to
say a few words at this time ? Many
men, situated like myself, who have
only their daily labor to depend npon
for support, are greatly disappointed
this morning, by reading in your paper
the communication of Citizen, with
drawing his request for a meeting on
Saturday the 9tb.
I had looked forward to the assem.
bling of that meeting as the dawning of
day—as a harbinger of returning sense
to our political leaders, that they would
allow such a meetirfg to beheld, and even
at this late day permit the meu most
affected for better or worse, by the chan
ges and in political matters now soon to
be made, to have a voice in deciding for
themselves “what we shall do to be
saved.”
Persons who have accumulated pro
perty for years, and of speculations daring
the war, can afford to wait for Provi
dence to help U3 out of our troubles, if
they are willing to risk being stripped
oftbeir property before the much talked
of Providential aid is vonchsafed to ns,
but the great uncertainty which now
hangs over us as a pall, suspending and
stopping all kinds of building and busi
ness, will soon bring gaunt want to our
doors and place our families destitute of
food and sbelter?
I speak as one who knows, when I say
that there is not a machine shop in this
City that has made expenses and inter
est on property this last year, and, in
Heaven’s name, how can we hope for
daily wages through this year, if the
politicians refuse to surrender to the
wishes of Congress ?
I should not feel it any greater dis
honor to surrender now to Congress,
backed by the whole North, than I did
in surrendering to Grant backed by his
army. To be sure, I only toted a mus
ket then, and only swing a hammer now,
and may not fully understand the sub
ject, but I do know that we fought them
four years and then quit, and that we
have waited two vear3 to have our own
way since, and, now, I, for one, am ready
to quit that, for I know Congress and
the North can hold out longer than we
can.
Excuse me, Mr. Editor, from stray
ing from my subject. The meeting is
the question. It is, of course, now too
late to hold the meeting on Saturday,
but I do hope it will be done soon, and
that the working men, business men,
and clerks, of Augusta, ana the plant
ers of the county, will get together, and
say quietly and plainly to Congress)
what nearly every man honestly feels,
that we are tired of opposition, that we
want peace and harmony ; and if you
will not see matters as we do, we will
try and see them as you do, and will go
to work at once to organize such State
Governments as you want ; hunt some
old fellows who can take your oath, if
you will then let ns Be represented,
and cry quits.
I see that Gov. Jenkins is going to
Washington and wiil tell us what to do.
That is all very well. Every body loves
the good old honest Governor, but ain’t
you afraid the Johnson men who have
advised us to refuse better terms than
we now have offered to us will shut his
eye up? I am.
What do you say to having a meeting
to-morrow week?
Excuse bad writing and the lateness of
the hour, for a work bench and candle
are hard aids to a scribe.

“ The Impending Epoch.”
'Augusta, Ga., March 8, 1867.
Mr. E. H. Fughe:
Dear Sir:—ln your notice of The
Impending Epoch, you say you quote my
words, and, yet, do not quote them, which
is unfair. Truth is a jewel. My true
words are: “I admit that the contents of
this sjngle number is ex parte, in this,
that Bky subject is Cotmie, too graad to
be even Epitomic, in a thousand num
bers of the little Kpoch." The word
“epidemic” you use would make non
seuse. If you will give your article
again, corrected as above, I shall not
demur to any view you may choose to
take of my effort to reach the raiuds of
the four million Spiritualist* of our
country. If you publish this note it will
suit me equally. Very respectfully,
Henry J. Osborne,
Editor Epoch.
—Melleu, Ward & Cos., who recently
failed in Boston for $1,000,000 carried
down the First Nationsl Bank of New*
tonville, of which one of the firm waa a
director.
Public Opinion at the Kerth.
During the two years of distress and
suffering, aad anxiety which have
elapsed sinea tka people of tha South
laid down tbsir arms and submitted to
the governvant and lama of the United
States, they have been constantly sua
tainsd by the hope that the Radicals in
Congress did not truly represent the
temper and disposition of their constil*
cents; that the people of the North were
lees violent and vindictive than their
leaders, and that tha generosity, good
sense, and good will of the masses would
be a certain and effectual protection
against the calamities with which Con
gress threatened ns. This was a natural
and reasonable hope. It was strength
ened and kept alive by the Democratic
press of the North and by the exponents
of opposition to the Radical party, and
it was still further fortified by the belief
that, as the Constitution and the laws
forbade the measures of punishment and
coercion which the Congressional ma
jorities sought to enforce, the people
would refuse to tear down and destroy
the defences of their own liberty, even
though they might be willing to consent
to the destruction of ours.
Experience has proved that this hope
has been delusive ; that we have been
leaning on a broken reed, and that in
stead of the representatives being in
advance of the people, the reverse is
the fart. Stevens and Boutwell, Schenk
and Trumbull have faithfully represent
ed the sentiment, wishes, and aims of
their people. Those who have induced
us to believe otherwise have deceived
themselves and us. This is a terrible
fact, and the sooner we accept it, and
meet it squarely, the better. It is folly
to talk of the Radical party as a minori
ty of the Northern people. It is ruinous
folly for us to suppose that it is losing
strength. It is stronger to-day than it
was when Lee surrendered, and its
increase of strength has given increased
tenacity to its purpose, increased bitter
ness to its animosity towards us, and
increased obstinacy to its determination
to compel us to yield to its fierce and
passionate will. It is only necessary to
study the action of Congress, and of the
State Legislatures, the action of the
people in their choice of representatives,
aud the expression of popular feeling
through the columns of the leading
newspapers, to be convinced, beyond a
doubt, that the people are the Radical
party, and that Stevens is the obedient
instrument of their will.
It is doubtless true that this growing
animosity and thirst for vengeance have
been excited to their present degree of
rage by the persistent misrepresenta
tion of our temper, conduct, and de
signs, on the part of Southern traitors
and Northern hirelings, whose business
it has been made to slander ns. For
two years these two flocks of buzzards—
the one lured by the promise of the
carrion of office, and the other secured
by its possession—have worked with
unremitting energy and unsurpassed
ingenuity, to produce the impression
at the North that, though we have been
overcome in battle, our hearts have not
been subdued ; that, though we have
surrendered our arms, we still hold to
the determination to overthrow the
Government; that we are gu Ity of the
most revolting and cruel atrocities to
ward the negroes ; that no Southern
man who opposed the war can live
among us aud pursue his calling with
out danger of personal injury, insult,
and oppression, and that no Northern
man can either settle in or travel
through the country, without exposure
to violence, contumely, or outrage the
moment he quits the precincts of the
Federal camps. Every renegade South
erner, eager to earn the wages of his
treachery ; every Northern trader, dis
appointed in his expectations of a rich
harvest, and disgusted at the barren
ness he has found where he expected to
find abundance ; every petty office
holder, every “agent” of the legion
which now swarm in every corner of
the country; and every hired letter
writer whose wages depend on the
fertility of his defamation and the
plausibility of his falsehood—has con
tributed to swell the torrent of misrepre
sentation and calumny, by which all
generosity, forbearance, kindness of
heart, and good will, have been oblite
rated amoug the masses of the North
so far as we are concerned, and the
bitter hate and desire to punish and
degrade us, engendered, which are
finding their expression in the acts of
Congress “for the better government of
the Rebel States.”
Stevens and Boutwell and Schenk
and Trumbull know that all these little
contributions to the gigantic lie of
which we are the helpless victims, are
iufamous fabrications, but the people do
not know it. On the contrary, they
believe every word of it, and are con
vinced that they would tail in their duty
were they not to urge our punishment
and suppress our barbarous practices.
VVlmtever we may do, or fail to do,
and whatever we may say, or omit to
say, in the crisis which is now upon us,
we will do well to bear in mind that
public opinion at the North approves the
Congress which has just expired, and
will approve its more advanced and
progressive successor, and that so far
as our present troubles are concerned,
to look for a “revulsion of feeling at the
North” is like waiting for the sky to fall
to catch larks. Xylon.
Nrw British Ministry.—The fol
lowing changes have been made in the
British Cabinet:
The Duke of Richmond becomea
Colonial Secretary,
Sir John Pakington, Secretary of
War.
Sir Stafford Northcote, First Lord of
the Admiralty.
; Right Honorable H. J. Carry, Under
Secretary of the Colonies, and M. Ste
phen Cave, President of the Board of
jrade.
Ths Supreme Court.
One of oar ablest and most esteemed
osfsweocenes, whose ewcere pslmliie
ao distance of opinion will pormil as
to question, insists with great farce and
psbpristr upon a speedy resort to the
supremo Court for relief from the nail*
lary bill, and denounces with merited
severity that class of men who are so
anxious to accept the conditions of the
Sherman act that they do not wish an
appeal to the supreme legal tribunal cf
the Republic. The people of the South
owe it to their houor, dignity, and self
respect to resort to any mid every meat s
to either defeat or protect themselvts
from the provisions of an act which its
friends admit to be grossly unconstitu
tional.
But the great danger to be appre
hended, and against which we cannot
too frequently and earnestly admonish
our people, is not to wait idly aud su
pinely the action of a tribunal which
cannot protect us from the immediate
danger of the State being wrested from
the hands of the white race by negroes
and demoralized whites. We wish no
feeling of natural iudiznatiou, no horror
of an unavoidable evil, no hope of dis
tant relief, to prevent immediate, ear
nest, aud energetic preparation for
maintaining onr supremacy at the bal
lot box. We have the brains, the num
bers, the experience, and ability to bold
our own if we do not lose every advan
tage of position by indifference, disgust,
supineness, aud apathy. These, Oh !
men of Virginia, are the vices and dan
gers to be averted t In mutters which
effect the fate of your wives and child
ren, wait not for a distant and uncertain
relief, but act promptly and earnestly.
The peril ot our situation demands
great fertility of strategy and resource,
and he who expects to win the day by
resort to the courts alone, will be surely
defeated. We are to day denied all the
rights, liberties, aud privileges which the
Supreme Court has just declared can
not be wrested from us in time of peace.
Our Constitution and laws have been
swept away by an act of Congress, and
yet the Milligan case is not two
months old. Wlat a sal comme •
tary upon the powerlessness ot the Su
preme Conrt is onr present situation.
Two terrible dangers, black with peril,
are bearing down upon us with fearful
rapidity, neither of which can the Su
preme Court avert. We mean statutory
negro suffrage, and the call of a Con
vention by those who propose a hundred
measures of outrage and proscription.
Let the learning of our ablest jurists be
called into immediate play, to secure all
the protection which the Supreme Court
may afford at.sonic distant day, but let
no man trust to that source exclusively
for relief and protection.
Let it be borne in mind that onr ene
mies deride our hope for protection from
the Supreme Court, aud exult that the
only effect of a decision against the con
stitutionality of the Sherman act, will be
“to throw the South into the thrice
heated furnace of the Fortieth Congress.”
We must adopt some means by which,
for want of fuel to feed upon, the baleful
fires of popular passion at the North
will expire. As long as they rage with
their present consuming fury, the con
tempt with which Congress has treated
the late decision against ‘ military gov.
eminent” in time of peace, is the best
evidence of how little the mob care for
the Supreme Court. We find that the
New York World, a leading organ of
the Northern Democracy, earnestly ad
monishes the South not to depend ex
clusively upon the Supreme Court for
protection, but to act without an instant’s
delay.— ltichmund, Va., Times, 6 th.

WILCOX, GIBBS & CO’S
MANIPULATED GUANO!
This article is being prepared by us at our place of business
in this City, where we invite Planters and other, interested to call and examine our
stock, end witness the preparation of the above named MANURE. It if composed
entirely of pore and unadulterated GUANOS lot which 25 per cent of the whole mixture
is warranted to bo pare No. 1 Peruvian Guano), and we warrant each and every package
of It to contain the exact ingredients and same proportions as the (ample analysed by
Prof. Shepard, whose analysis and report we annex, as follows :
Charleston, 8. C, February 16th, 1867.
Mestrt. Wilcox, Oihbt A Cos.:
Gentlemen ; The following is my analysis and report npon the sample yoa have
placed in my hands, of Wilcox, Gibbs A Co.’s Manipulated Gnano;
Hygrometrie water 18.60
Combined water and organic matter rich in ammoniaeai salts 18.00
Phosphate of lime 44.50
C rbonate of lime 1.80
Insoluble silicions matter, with considerable traces of per oxide of iron 15.80
Chloride of sodium, sulphates of ammonia, lime, and soda, with loss 1.30
100.00
The present sample shows a very advantageous mixture. It has enough of Peruvian
Gnano (say 25 per cent.) for any soil or crop ; while the great bnlk of the preparation
is obrionsly an unadulterated natural Gnano, rich in organic matter, with considerable
already formed Ammonia (and the material for its continued production as required by
the crop), together with 44.50 per eent. of Phosphate of Lime, nearly two per cent, of
which is in a soluble state. If kept up to the standard of this sample, there is no hasard in
predicting that lands treated with 250 or 300 pounds of it to the acre, will he placed in
an affective condition for any crop.
Very respectfully, yours, CHARLES UPHAM SHEPARD.
Knowing the composition, as weU as judging from the analysis and report of Prof.
Shepard, we araconfident it will prove to be an excellent MANURE, and pay any
Planter handsomely who uses it judiciously. We would recommend the nse of 175 to 200
pounds per acre for Cotton or Corn ; 250 to 300 pounds for Wheat, and that it be applied
the same as other Guanos—nnder the bed for Cotton, in the hill for Corn, and broadcast
tor Wheat. This Guano is ready for nse, all the lumps having been thoroughly ground,
and the whole passed through a seive before packing, and it is s very handsome article
in appearance and condition. It is packed in barrels of about 300 pounds, and bags of
200 pounds, and the price will be uniform, as foUowa : $65 per Ton of 2,000 pounds,
Cash.
Our Agents will sell at the same price, with necessary expenses added.
We are now prepared to deliver this Gnano in quantities to suit, and solicit orders
for the same, which will be promptly filled.
We will alao keep, both here and in Savannah, a good supply of Pnre No. I
PERUVIAN GUANO, which will be sold at the market price; also, Pure No. 1
PHCENIX GUANO, at $55 per Ton of 2,000 pounds, in Savannah, or S6O here—Cash.
All orders should be addressed to us at AUGUSTA, GA.
