Encouragement of Mwitnietl
-EsUTyiw-
We ref ret to foam that more than
one of tb« »echaai«al eclrrpvizee in
oar City Are in rerr straightened eir
cuauurrei. and •« le*»t one. belonging
to OM of oar moat enterprising and
deserving citneaa, baa been obliged lor
be time, to ttupend operation*. Tbi*
has resalted from tbe scarcity of
money; many cf those haring work
done, hare been enable to par ia fall,
aatil tbe amount of anaraikhle assets
is too -feat for the capital or the credit
of the proprietors of these works.
We know oi no immediate relief lor
those who find themselres order a
pressure for money, for there is no
money to be had at present; bnt we
wish to point oat the importance of
sostainirig such enterprises, and show
how easily it might have been done a
few months ago, when every available
dollar was pat into Cotton, and when
the coffers of capital acre as securely
1 ocked ss now, sgainst all aid to local
enterprise. The losses on Cotton, in
this City a lore, will, it is stated, amount
to one or two millions of dollars, pro
vided it is sold at present prices. Sup
pose that, last year, or at the beginning
of the present year, our capitalists had
said, “Let us diversify our interests, and
the interests of the City ; let us put two
or three hundred thousand dollar* in
tbe machine shops established here,
and make them strong, so that they can
go forward and repair the mil's of the
country; fit up the farmers with labor
saving implements ; and put the indus
try of the country on a firm footing.”
Suppose they hid done this, and put the
balance into Cotton; would not tbe
result have been more satisfactory ?
Hundreds of families would have been
employed in our midst ; hundreds of
bouses wonld hare been required for
them ; the retail trade would have been
improved, and the basis would have
been laid for a substantial and prosper
ous mechanical interest here.
Instead of this we see our capitalists
disheartened under their Cotton losses;
our machine shops idle, or doing but
little; mechanics complaining and
threatening to leave; while trade of all
kinds shares the general depression.
We dislike to say gloomy or un
pleasant things of iLe progress of our
beautiful City. We feel an interest in
everything pertaining to it; but we are
impressed with the necessity of a lib—
vr ral diversion of capital into mechanical
pursuits. Nerve tbe arms of industry
with one tithe of the liberal indulgence
and generous aid extended tbe Cotton
interest, anß Augusta will in a few years
be the Pittsburg of the South.
We know there is at present but little
capital here to invest in anything. Our
object is to throw out an bumble sug
gestion for future consideration, or for
consideration of capitalists el ewhere.
In our opinion there is no finer field for
the investment of money in manufac
tures, on the face of the earth, than the
ample water power of Augusta affords.
From tbe Cotton lord of England, to tbe
dockmaker of Connecticut, the field is
broad; and those who come and lay the
‘foundation, deep and broad, for Southern
m nufizetures, will reap a rieh rewardfor
their enterprising foresight.
eoroe now will find oppor
tunities for purchasing sites on liberal
terms, or for buying interests with those
to whom we have referred, whose opera
tions have been effected by a want of
means. All will find a hearty welcome
flora all classes of our people.
Toleration in the South.
The Editor of tbe Savannah Republi
mn, who has recently been released
from Jail, under conviction for libel,
expresses warm thanks to the leading
citizens of that city, moat of whom dif
fered from him politically, for their pe
tiiion to the Governor for bis release.
He thus refers to the prevalent idea at
tl>e. North, that Northern men and
Northern ideas are not tolerated at the
South :
W’e have no desire to misrepresent
the j>eople of Georgia, and we wish it to
i>e distinctly understood, that through
out the borders of tbe Empire State
•' Iree sjieech ” is now permitted to the
people, though politicians seek to deny
it, ~nd we ask the skeptical people who
have capital to iirveaf and are scared by
this ignis fa/uus, to he terrified no
lunger, but hurry South with their
see things as they really are,
get acquainted with her people, make
fortunes, help restore the country, and
die true anil happy patriots.
This view is corroborated by “ Mack "
of the Cincinnati Gazette who says -.
" I have travelled through a good por
lion of the South since I started out
three weeks ago, and have yet to learn
me first case in which a Northern man
has neen maltreated id account, of the
p > itical sentiments in tbe section from
which he hailed, I have made a great
many inquiries, aud if anything of the
kind had occurred recently in the sec
tion :li rough which I have passed, I
should probably have heard of it. 1
lisve n)t yet been in a city or town
which Charles Sumner or Wendell Phil
lips might not visit with perfect safety
to themselves aud, I think, much to
i heir enlightenment,respecting the habits
and manners of people whom they de
nounce without knowing.” .
Professor James P. Waddell died at
his wsidence in Athens on Wednesday,
ol paralysis. The Watch man says the
deceased was a son of Moses Waddell,
one of the early Presidents of Frankiin
College, aud was himself a member of
the Faculty for many years. Hundreds
ol graijuates of the University will read
with sorrow that the kiud old preceptor
haa goue.
o*rera«r Parry’* Policy.
No. i.
Nobody can dewy the sincerity and
earnest patriotism of Gov. Perry of
Sooth Carolina. The edvice which be
is giving bis feßow ritiaens ia tbe mo
mentous crime which ie aow a poo them,
is the honest, deep rooted conviction of
bis mind, given them to promote what
he beKeves to be their good, without n
thought of selfiatereet or individual
preference. Bat while we concede the
parity of his motives and the honesty
of his pnrpoce, in my humble judgment
the course which be recommends is the
meet dangeroas which the people of
those States can possibly follow.
To register, at quire the right to vote
under the Military Bill, and then votff
against a Convention, and defeat the
purpose for which the bill was passed,
is the sum and substance of Gov. Perry \
advice. His reasons for this recom
mendation are, that be believes that a
Convention will giro tbe negroes the
control of the State government, and
lead to a condition of things far worse
than tbe present status of Tennessee,
and that therefore it is far better for os
to remain at re are, s ruder military
rule , until tbe cooler and sounder judg
ment of the Northern people, convinced
of the unconstitutionality, injustice, and
impolicy of tbe action of Congress,
repeals the obnoxious laws, and
restores to us the rights which we claim,
but of which we are deprived.
If all the Governor's postulates could
be admitted, it would be more easy to
accept his conclusions, even though
they depeud in part for tbeir reallxa
tion upon the chauge iu public senti
ment at the North which be expects on
account of the defeat of the Radical
party in Connecticut and Kentucky,
and of the Democratic successes in a
few scattered municipal elections.
“ It most be granted that we can cer
tainly remain as we are, under military
rule, ar.d wait for tbe rever
sal of the Sherman bill, by the people
of the North, or else the alternative
which Mr. Perry presents has no other
basis than his conjecture or his hope.
And how can we grant any seeb thing ?
Suppose that all of as who are not
specially disfranchised, register, vote f
and endorse “no convention” on our
ballots ;, and suppose that the conven
tion is defeated ; does it follow as a
matter of course that Congress when
it meets in December, will quietly
regard our vote as a final settlement of
the question, continue the present
military rule, and permit reconstruction,
to be postponed until circumstances and |
public sentiment so change as to allow
us to complete the work iu the manner
which is most agreeable to ourselves ?
Is it not possible, is it not probable,
nay, is it not almost certain, that when
the majority of Congress find that we
have exercised the right to vote which
they have given us, in order to defeat
their purpose and veverse their policy
they will pass another Supplemental
bill, disfranchising all who cannot take
the test oath, and ordering a Convention
to be called by the few who will be thus
able to qualify? Under the law as it
exists at present, General John B-
Gordon can vote and serve as a member
of the Convention. Thousands of
others, less prominent perhaps, but
quite as true to their State and her
iuterests as the gallant General we
have named, can now vote and represent
the people in the Convention; and
though the Constitutional changes
which we are required to make may be
distasteful and contrary to our judgment
is it not safe to suppose that those who
can now represent ns will make those
changes more wisely, and more safely,
and less radically, than the handful of
white men and the uegroes to whom
Congress may limit the exercise of
political power?
The alternative is not presented to us
to adopt the Convention, or remain as
we are under military rule. It is true
we can either vote for or against a
Convention ; but we have no reason to
suppose that should we vote “no Conven
tion ” Congress will be satisfied and
make no other effort to carry out its
scheme of reconstruction. On the con
trary, past experience of il3 action, the
emphatic declarations of several of its
leaders, and the unanimous voice of the
Republican press, give us the best reason
to suppose that it will do nothing of the
kind.
If any alternative be offered by Con
cress, it is to accept the terms now of
fered or submit to those which it will
impose in case of our*rcfusal.
If, under the law as it now is, there is
reason to fear that the negroes will get
control of the State Governments, while
not a tenth of our voting population is
disfranchised, how much more is such a
calamity to be dreaded when not a
twentieth of the white population will be
permitted to vote, if our rights of per
son and property, our social peace, and
the sanctity of our dwellings are iraper
rilled now, when most of us have a voice
in our government, how infinitely will
the danger be increased when a few
hundred white men and millions of semi
barbarous negroes are the sole posses
sors of political power iu the South !
It appears to me that it is the most
dangerous of delusions to believe that it
we reject tbe Convention all that can
befitl ns is to remain under military
government as at present. If we con
clude that honor, duty and patriotism
compel us to refuse compliance with the
demands of Congress, let us recognize
all the conlhquences, and not deceive
ourselves by a hone of a purgatory
which has no real existence. But first
let us be convinced that honor, duty,and
patriotism do compel us to confront a
danger so great and so certain.
