JOURNAL AND MESSENGER,
MACON, THURSDAY, FEB. 1.
Correspondence of the Journal and Messenger,]
Oxford, Ga., Jan. 27, 1860.
The weather during the greater portion
of the present month, has been in harmo
ny with the dark, and gloomy aspect of
“matters and things in general.” Wo
have, thus far, had but few sun beams to
lighten our political skies, and cheer the
“winter of our and I am in
clined to think, from the signs of the times,
that our patience will yet be largely'taxed
—perhaps to her perfect work, e’er olir ca
lamities are over passed.
If the order of General Sickles, in regard
to the relative rights, prerogatives, duties,
and privileges of the blacks and white
freedmen, “so-called,” in South Carolina,
is a sample of what we are to experience
in Georgia, I see no use in our legislature
expending its time and the people’s money
by remaining longer at Milledgeville. For
I know of no la\v it could pass that would,
not be liable ip be set aside, controvened
or disregarded bv the military
til the present anomalous ’ position orTSe
Southern States is clearly and authorita
tively defined, it appears to me our legisla
tors are working in the dark. In the ripe
statesmanship, pure and unsullied private
character and devout devotion to the pub
lic weal, of our glorious State Executive,
Georgia has yet some ground for hope. In
these dark and degenerate times, it is re
ally a luxury to read the Messages of Gov
ernor Jenkins.
Cannot our Legislature do something for
the maimed soldiers ? The country wants
well-trained teachers. How would it do to
set aside the earnings of the State lioad—
when it is again able to return dividends
—for the education of those meritorious
and indigent young men who have been
maimed in the service of their country ?
A most fearful tornado passed through a
part of this county on last Wednesday
night, prostrating trees, and in some in
stances, houses. At Sandtown, several
residences and out-buildings were blown
down, and scattered in every direction.
The dwelling of Mr. James C. Baily, of
that place, was blown from its foundation,
and sad to relate, himself, wife, a colored
woman and child were killed. The re
mains of Mrs. B. were found some dis
tance from where the house stood, terribly
mangled. She was the daughter of our
worthy friend, J. W. Pitts, Esq. She and
her husband were but recently married,
and their early and sudden death, is great
ly deplored by a large circle of kindred and
friends. Dr. Montgomery, and several
other persons were considerably injured.
The planters in this section are busily
and hopefully engaged in preparing for
another crop. The negroes have general
ly gone to work in good spirit. I have
heard of no depredations from them for
some time. lam inclined to think that
under proper treatment and discipline,
they may still be rendered valuable as an
element of our industrial system.
I aui glad to observe, in the general ap
pearance of the “Old Messenger”—“rejuvi
nated,” not “regenerated,” as your com
positor made me write on a former occa
sion—so many evidences of prosperity.
May its shadow never grow less.
Yours truly, J. B.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Hotels.
To whom credit is due let it be awarded
by travelers, of which I am one of some ex
perience. In passing Fort Valley I called
at “ Byington’s” for dinner. Everything
was in the best order, and a better furnished
table I have never found along a Railroad.
Other people tell me that it is always so,
at Byington’s.
In your city, I stopped at “Brown’s.”
Everyshing is “done up Brown” there.
The tal le furnished in the best manner and
style, and all the accommodations in the
best keeping. Byington and Brown form
afirsf. rate “connection” on the Railroad,
to a Traveler.
B®, A Washington correspondent of the
Mobile Advertizer, supposed to be Hon. G.
C. Langdon, writes to that paper as fol
lows :
In listening to the debates in Congress,
the first thing that struck me was the ex
treme bitterness of the radicals toward the
white people of the South. I expected to
find hostility, but I did not anticipate such
deep seated hatred and bitter intolerance
as are daily manifested. The debates to
which I have listenened, have been con
fined exclusively to measures relating to
the negro and the rebellion.
* * * * * * * # *
Outside of Congress, the feeling toward
the South is exceedirigiy.Tund and liberal,
but the Black Republicans in Congress,
under the lead of Sumner in the {Senate
and Thad. Stevens in the House, are as
savage and blood-thirsty as tigers. How
long these two madmen will continue to
control Congress remains to be seen.
Northern Methodist on Negro
Equality.—The chief organ of tire Meth
odist Church of the North, the Christian
Advocate and Journal, has raised the black
flag of amalgamation and negro equality.
It says in a late editorial:
“This godless prejudice against negro
equality deserves divine punishment. She
(the Church) must cease to loathe and dis
sociate men on account of color. She must
give her brethren of the despised hue her
cordial fellowship; in her churches, her
schools, her counting-rooms, must they
move freely and unnoticed.”

General Jackson’s Motto.— “ Think before
you act, but when the time comes for act
ing, stop thinking.” This is the true doc
trine. Many men faiUn life and go down
to the grave “with hopes blasted and pros
pected happiness unrealized, because they
did not adopt and act on this motto.—
Nothing so prepares a man for action as
thought; but nothing so unfits a man for
action as the want of action. Better far
adopt some course and pursue it energeti
cally—even thought.
The New York Tribune has the
following, under tho head of “Supporting
the President”:
“A Republican editor, nppiying at one
of the most important departments last
week for the official advertising was asked
if his paper would adopt the President’s
policy. The intimation was made that on
no other terms could official patronage be
fiven out. On Saturday last, Thomas B.

(Copperhead) had his bills for government

Labor at the South.
No apprehension need be felt by the
people at the North that the Southern
| planters will make an effort to introduce
into this section a system of Coolie labor.
A fair and impartial trial of the freed men’s
contract system will he given, and should
that be found to be impracticable, the next
step will be to offer such inducements to
emigrants as will unmistakably secure
their services. It is siinply an act of fool
ishness on the part of Northern editors to
urge Southerners to employ the freedmen
and put them to work at once. Not a sin
gle freedman in the State, or the South,
i, who is able to work need be without em
i ploy men t a single day. From the very
! moment the contract system was inaugu
| rated the planters expressed a willingness
;to give it a fair trial. If the result, so far
as the number of contracts made is con
cerned, is not so favorable as many had
anticipated, the fault does not attach to
the planters. We must admit, however,
the signs for securing a fair yield of cotton
in the interior are liu* more encouraging
than they were -a few months ago. The
freedmen are gradually opening their eyes
to the fact of their dependence for subsist
ence on the efforts of tlieir own labor, and
in many districts they are coming forward
with a commendable degree of promptness
to offer their services. Before the close of
the year wc shall be able to form an esti
mate of the value of this system of labor.
As yet the number of white emigrants
that hayo settled in. South Carolina, ap
pears to bo quite limited. In fact we are
not impressed that any of the States South
of Virginia have been visited by any con
siderable number of this class of popula
tion. ft is to be hoped, however, that we
may, in course of time, have a sufficient
number of emigrants in our State to fully
test the system of white labor. —Charleston
Courier.
White Labor for the South.— Says
the New York News, Mr. Joseph J. Mhoon,
a well known and very successful planter,
left this city yesterday, taking with him
sixty-four white laborers, whom he has
employed to work upon his cotton planta
tion in Oktibooha county, Mississippi,near
the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. His expe
rience and observation have satisfied him
that tho planters cannot, rely for the pro
duction of cotton upon the uncertain labor
of tire freed negroes, and that the future
prosperity of the South must be based upon
white labuft
The AujßJHton of the Tennes
see Delegation.*-We have reliable in
formation from Washington Unit the me
morials of.the so-called Central Committee
have line! an injurious effect upon the pros
pects of the Tennessee delegation for ad
mission to their seat In Congress. This
effect hgs been deepened by the refusal of
the lower branch of our Legislature to
adopt the resolution in l'uvor of their ad
mission. It is unfortunate that these
th uya, which have no weight or signifi
cance here, should have any effect what
ever abroad; but it is character istie of the
times. The people of Tennessee must
bear their afflictions with the best grace
they can, They will not last always.

Address to My Pipe.
BY C. A. JON'ES.
01<1 Pipe, thou art the dearest, cheeriest
friend
For man’s enjoyment in this bad world
given;
With t’neo in mouth,all cares and troubles
end,
Pale sorrow to the very deuce is driven.
Speak not of friendship—at the first dark
cloud
The dearest friends grow cold and turn
away;
Now warm and loving, now unkind and
proud—
Changeful, morochangefi lthanan April
day.
Tell not of love, a snare, a my the, a dream,
The offspring of the ravii-;; poette brain;
Women, alas! they are not what, they
seem—
In word’s, our angol, but, in truth, our
bane.
But thou,art true, whatever may betide,
wealth decrease,
Though jilted by a loved and promised
bride,
Yet thou dost whisper to thy lover,
“Peace.”
While o’er our heads the bright, blue vol
ume weathes,
What glorious day-dream j fill the happy
mind!
Then the smoke-angel to her client
breathes
Sweet thoughts too sacred for unsmoked
mankind.
Old Pipe, we’ll never, never part,
Whilst thou can hold the weed and I
can puff;
Each day I’ll draw thee closer to my
heart,
Until fell death cries out, “You’ve smoked
enough!”

A clerk in the Quartermaster General's
office, Washington, named Jones, re
marked tire other day, on hearing or the

that he was not exactly in favor of decapi

A vote was being taken c-u an important
measure in the Indiana Se .ate the other
day. Mr. , a grave mid reverend
Senator, had not been attending to his
“biz,” and didn’t know wh tne question
was. His name was called by the {Secreta

then rapping the desk with his knuckles,

hall, and the President of the Senate
“took it up.”
Characteristic Meanness.— The Bos
ton Herald tells the following anecdote of
certain church officers in the “Hub.”
About four months ago Mr. Lewis Fish
er, a fresco painter, while engaged In his
occupation on the ceiling of a church in
Chelsea, Mass., accidentally fell from.tho
staging to the i>ews beneath, a diatanoe of
twenty-five feet, breaking several of his
ribs and receiving serious internal injuries,
which will disable him for the balance of
life, and from which he is now confined to
his house. A few weeks since the unfor
tunate man had a bill presented to him by
ihe trustees of the church, for repairing
the pews on which he fell, amounting to
the sum of seven dollars and sixty cents,
and he paid it!
SSL. The New York Times, edited by
Henry S. Raymond, a leading Republican
member of the House of Representative#,
thus speaks of one of Sumner’s negro bills:
“ This is the ‘ shadow ’ of ‘coming event*.’
It indicates the character qf future leg
islation, should the power reside in such
/tands. Returning a moment to the ques
tion of colored suffrage in the District of
Columbia, it is proper to say that its real
purpose is to signalize and crown the event
by tiie election of a colored man for Mayor
ior the city of Washington. •'Without in
quiring what chance of success the scheme
nas, it is certain that such is the ‘undeclar
ed purpose’ of the bill introduced by tho
J udiciary Committee of the House of Repre
sentatives.”
