Tho August number of the South
ern Cultivator is a very excellent one. Its
tablo of contents embraces a great variety
of topics pertainiug to tho farm, the gar

edges so smoothly cut that one cannot re
sist tho temptation of running over its
clear and beautiful pages. The Colli valor
lias held its own better than auy other
Southern periodical ever did. It is now
in its twenty-ninth volume, and is appa
rently moro vigorous and healthful than
ever it was beforo. But it deserves suc
cess. Its pages are crowded with matter
of general interest to farmers. Its mat
ter is fresh and lively, and of practical
utility. It is a book of pormauent value,
hence it is patronized and sustained by
tho people. The Cultivator >s published

Near Stockbridoe, |
July 29th, 1871. )
Editors Sun : On tho evening of
the 2Gth inst., one of your subscribers,
Clias. L. Powell, was suddenly taken
ill; one hour after which ho was a
corpse. The venerable Wm. Dodson,
eighty or more years old, who was
on a visit that day, had just left,
when the deceased complained of a
severe pain in his stomach, and before
tho physician, Dr. Calhoun, the dis
tance not over two miles, arrived, ho
had breathed his last. Mr. Dodson
states the deceased was in usual
good health and conversed freely, lie
was in his 04th year, horn tho 18th
Dee., 1807. lie was an orderly, con
sistent and devout member of tho
Primativc Baptist Church.
On the night of tho 25th, a house
in McDonough was consumed by lire.
Ill it their mother (colored) had left
four children, of whom the three
youngest were burned to death. The
oldest of these, tigirl six vears old, was
awakened by the lire anil ran into tho
room where the oldest, a hov, was
sleeping and awaked him. lie ran
out, but she, in attempting to rescue
the other little ones, perished with
them.
Crops are looking tolerably well—
com on upland, which has been
tilled well, looks finely, but on bot
toms badly, owning to too much rain.
Cotton is improving and growing
rapidly. but owing to the late colil
and wet
spring.
them is not much
over a half stand, and it is ladling two
weeks later than usual. \\ c are now
needing rain, not having had any
since the 17th and 18th, when there
w ere heavy rains with hail and violent
thunder. " The door steps of a near
neighbor were struck by lightning,
shocking terribly a mule standing un
der a gin house a short distance, and
on an adjoining farm the lightning
struck in a cotton held (no tree near)
killing the cotton in a space of twenty
yards. Yours respectfully, II.

A«Ta.
Tito primal cauae of om- i&Uuro a* a people u Uio
f*4*t that our sybtcin of labor was slavery. From
tins, as from a dcu of disturbed vlpera, have crawled
out the innumerable aud poisonous evils that have
lamed our energies, aud polluted our blood.
If the correspondent of lbo New Fra
is to bo believed, such is the opprobious
language that was blown into tho face of
the cultivated iutolligcuco of Georgia by
Mr. Hill:—who could, with uublancbed
cluck, fuco the tuuno audkuce to-morrow
and ii.ssert, and attempt to prove, that
slavery was a divine ordination; that it
was the greatest possible blcsiiog to the
negro—also to tho whito race, particu
larly to the white laborer; the grand ele
ment of our unparalleled prosperity, anil
that its destruction was a damning siu
against tho laws of tho Almighty.
Tho monstrous error of tho foregoing
extract is, that it assigns one of the great
causes of our great success, as the cause
of that which has not occurred, viz: our
failure ns a people, and tho ]»Motion of
our blood!
Who, but Mr. Hill, iu tho very teeth
of history, which has trauspired iu his
own day, of which ho has been a con
spicuous witness, and in which ho has
been a prominent actor, could coudeuso
so much that cannot bo sustained, iu so
few words, and then without blushing
for shame, thrust it in tho face of those
who havo bccu his fricuds and sup
porters ?
When did that “failure us u people”
begin, and when did it end ? Wus it
when, through tho institution of slavery,
os it was called, wo took tho low down
African from his bestial condition, and
proved and elevated him, morrolly,
mentally and physically, to his present
condition ? Such an improvement in a
race of men, was never brought about
by any other menus iu tho history of the
world. Did tho violent abolishing Of
this condition of tlio Negro, consti
tute “our failure os a people ?” Did this
elevation and unparalleled improvement
of tho negro; the elevation and
improvement of our owu race; our
mental culture and vigor; tho
purity and virtue of our women ; the
good morals and integrity of our people
generally, and tho uncontaminated state
of religion among us, stamp us as a fail
ure ? Was it when wo produced three*
fourths of tho exportable values of tho
Western World, furnished the material for
the manufactures and the carrying busi
ness of tho North ; and when wo fed and
clothed tho hungry aud tho naked of
other countries ? Did our failure cousist
in building up such noble institutions of
laeruing as the University of Georgia ?
Was it when our pulpits were adorned
with such meu as Basconi, Soule, Mercer,
Dawson, Andrew, Pierce, Breckinridge,
Hodges, ThornwelJ, Palmer, Elliott and
Lipscomb ; or when wr^gavo to tho Judi
ciary such mca as Marshall, Taney,
Lumpkin, Dougherty, Charlton, Nesbit
and Wayuc ; or when wo sent to tho Fed
eral councils such men as Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Randolph, Clay,
Calhoun, McDuffie, Forsyth, Crawford,
Berrien, Stephens, Hunter, Toombs, Bea
ton and Mason, whoso wisdom, virtue and
mental power arc recorded on every page
of American history during and since tho
revolution ? Was it when the policy of
the Government, furnished and carried
out—its foundations laid and superstruc
ture reared—by Southern men aud
Southern patriotism—brought this coun
try to a condition of prosperity and ad
ancemcnt that was never before attained
•y men on i artli ?
Wo failed to triumph in the lab
but was that a “failure as a people ?” It
was ouly a failure in a single direction—
not as a people.
But farther: was our “failure as a poo-
lo” exhibited when wo rose, Pluenix*
like, from tho Ashes of our desolution,
and in six years havo astonished the world
with our powers of reeuperatiou ? Havo
we failed as a people, when wo havo ac
complishod this in our oppressed condi
tion-disarmed, unresisting, taxed with
out representation—throttled by exultant
aud exacting power—with all tho cruel
ties and injustice which havo been heap
ed upon us, which even Mr. Hill's daring
invective could not shako off from us ?—
He resisted and denounced the Constitu
tionnl Amendments with the greatest bit
tern eas; now he would have us accept
them as binding and irrevocable, and
thank God for tho blessed privilege!
What lias caused this change? He,
however, lias a l ight to change his views,
but not to slander our people aud his
country. Aud why outrage common de
cency in proclaiming his conversion from
truth to error ? What could have induc
ed a sane man to choose such an occasion
to disgmeo himself ? But perhaps ho is
trying to make his newly chosen bed soft
and downy—to console liis conscience
aud bolster up his pridu while making
this last political somersault, or perhaps
trying to remove the barriers that stand
like towering mountain peaks iu his path
to high place and preferment. To ac
complish this, it may he necessary for
him to think, and try to mako us think,
that wo have heretofore lived in igno
rance—that wc have been degenerating—
growing worse mid becoming debased,
and that all our achievements iu tho pAst
are disgraceful failures, and that all our
oppressions and persecutions, ugainst
which his eloquent pen and tongue so long
defended us, were, and are, our greatest
biessiugs, which we mast cordially em
brace, and for the imposition of which
upon us, wo can never be thankful
enough.
If sneli is the road to high honor /or
him, let him follow it; but there are
many of us not prepared to take up the
lino of march with him.

LETTER FROM TEXAS*

Political Matters.
Spiuxgfield, Texas, )
July 25,1871. )
Editor Sun: When the rebellion
(so-called) began in 1801, this place
was about one hundred miles from
the terminus of the Houston & Texas
Central Railroad. Within the last
two years the road has been pushed
ahead very energetically. Grocsbuck,
the present terminus of the road, is
within five miles of this place, and
the construction train is running
north of this four or live miles. It is
generally understood that those who
control the movements of the road,
design completing it to Corsicana by
October 1st, 1871—a point 38 miles
north of Springfield.
The International, which was
chartered at the last session of the
Legislature, is being built very rapid
ly. It intersects the Central at a
point called Ilerone, about forty or
fifty miles South of this. It crosses
the Trinity river in Freestone county,
near a place called Magnolia. They
are at work on the bridge at that
point now. It occurs to me that
some of the able railroad men of „ - .
floorffiii would find in inviHncr Hold weather, standing in tlio door of ono of
‘ i 1 J 1 ' ltin o nCKl I B f nmq in this nliuw. rnmnrknd tlmt
oi labor m this State. In ten years
000, to be used in bribing (tov. Lind
say to let tin* road remain in Stanton’s
hands, and to pay the interest for the
State for another year. That McKay
had seen Lindsay and it was all right,
or words to that effect.
Gen. Noddy at once went to the
room of Gen. James 11. Clanton, who
was stopping at the same hotel, and
repeated the conversation.
“ What!” said Clanton; “doe* he
.-uy that he has bribed Robert Burn
Lindsay to do such a thing as that !"
Lindsay must know of this at one
Gen. Clanton then returned to New
York city and informed Gov. Lind
say, who had gone there to arrange
for paying the interest on the A. &
C. It. It. bonds endorsed by the State,
what Roddy hod told him.
Gov. Lindsay at once sent for Mc
Kay and demanded to know what he
meant by making such reports. I
McKay was terrified into making a
clean breast of it, and gave Governor
Lindsay hi* written acknowledgment,
which Gov. Lindsay now bolus, that
Stanton lmd paid him the money as
above stated upon his own solicitation
and promise to fix Lindsay, but that
he hud never approached the Governor
on the subject, but kept the money
himself, inducing Stanton to believe
that Lindsay was bribed.
To this day Stanton does not know
but that the bribe was paid, and hence
he is so insolent in his demands that
the State keen her hands off, and he
has even ulluued to "the arrangement
made with your agent” in a letter to
Gov. Lindsay since the seizure of the
road. Probably lie will soon know
that Gov. Lindsay is not for sale, but
that he himself lias been most egre-
giously sold.
If any one doubts this statement,
wo refer them to Gen. Clanton, who
is now in this city, from whom we
obtained the facts with permission to
publish them.

A lamp in which only “non-cxplosivo”

his residence, on Greene street, a bullet
came through tho window sash and cur
tain and dropped iu his wife’s lap. The
holo which was made through the glass
and tho curtain was so small that it looked
as if it lmd been shot from a pistol. Au

from to-day, unless Congress should
Ku-lvlux the State into bankruptcy,
aided in its efforts by that scum of
political villains, E. I. Davis, Gov
ernor, (so-called) of the State of
Texas, this State will have as many
railroads completed as Georgia.
The completion of the Central to
this point, is fast revolutionizing pop
ulation, and the manners and habits
of the people. Ten years ago it was
the work of a week, nearly, to go to
Galveston; now you go iu about
twelve hours! So much for rail
roads! Would that our political im
provement kept pace with our pro
gress in material prosperity. But it
is backwards! We are advancing
backwards fast. One bad feature
with us is, that our Constitution pro
vides for the appointment of the
Judge by (he Governor. When
such a man as Davis is Governor, we
must have as a general thing, had
Judges. Davis appointed one Thur
mond Judge, hut took the precaution
to require of his appointee, his blank
resignition as one of the conditions
of his appointment. Thurmond af
terwards was found to havo resigned,
'•(■/ ct amir—a peeuliar sort of re
signition, known only in Texas, 1 pre

ciary ! In tho days of the Republic
we were accustomed to look to the
courts as a barrier against the- ag
gressions of other departments of tiie
Government; in the days of the Em
pire, they strike hands with the Ex
ecutive and Legislative branches, in
their assaults upon the liberty of the
citizens, llow fallen!
It is well nigh tho case now iu
some Judicial Districts in Texas,
that bayonets and stout-shanks sit in
judgment on the bench. The pres-
nco of an armed police in a Court of
Justice, is a novel feature in the ad
ministration of law, and it is a re
proach to the civilization of the
19th Century. Much things may he
seen on occasions here. Wry truly,

The Chattanooga Times of the 1st
inst., lias the following:
On the 25th day of June, 1871, in
Cozzen’s Hotel, at West Point, New
York, D. N. Stanton, President of the
A. ft CL K- it-, told Gen. Itoddy, form
erly of Alabama, in the course of con
versation about tiie road and his fail
ure to pay the interest, that Gor.
Lindsay dared not take possession of
the roau. That he had paid a man
named McKay, who was on very inti
mate relation's with Lindsay, *5,000
in money, 820,000 in negotiable
notes, $50,000 in 1st mortgage
bonds of the Alabama &. Chattanooga
Railroad, aud other securities making
the stores in this place, remarked that
1 “thero wns ns little prospect for rain as ho
ever saw in his life.” Five minutes after
lio mado tho remark, largo drops of rain
commenced to fall, and contiuucd to fall
for ten minutes, and all thowliilo tlio sun
was shining brightly. A wind from tho
west begun to blow gently, but increased
until in about five minutes, ruin was
pouring down. Goods boxes were blown
across the streets, sign-hoards blown
down, tin raised from the roofs of houses,
fences laid down, and tho rain was blown
up tho stairway of onr oflico, iu tho sec
ond story of Cunningham’s building, and
wet tho top stop and floor.
Tho African Methodist Church, a build
ing thirty-six by sixty feet, was blown
from its foundation, aud left a complete
wreck. Largo oak trees were twisted off,
and the branches from other shade trees
wrenched off and sent flying through tho
air. Several other small dwellings were
blown down, and repairs to fences has
been tho order of tho day since tho storm
On Wednesday wo again hud a fino rain,
with some wind. The tornadb of Tues
day was restricted to a very narrow scopo,
and wc have no damage to report from
tho country. Tho rain of Wednesday
was moro general and will provo of great
benefit to tho farmers. A good prospect
for more rain.
Tho Savannah Republican of the 2d

about Darien has rendered tlio race in
that locality peculiarly audacious. Un
der tho leadership of tho black villain,
Campbell, who represents tho district iu
tho Stuto Senate, aud is ready for any
outrage against the whites, a largo body
of tlie colored people have taken up tho
idea that their own will is tho supremo
law. As all tho officers of tbo county arc
negroes—and wo are freo to say somo of
them well-meaning, but under bad influ
ences- there is no hope for protection from
that source. It is the duty of tho United
States to protect its own mails at least,
and wo hope tho Postmaster at Suvaumih
will call upon tho commandant of the
post for detachments of troops to accom
pany tho mail steamers on their regular
trips until tho colored people of Darien
