Take away all means of written
It is, therefore, wise in our Government Jto
New ideas, new
thoughts, and’itewimpreBsiona are toecesfiary
to the vitality of a nation as the creation of
new blood is to that of the human body.
The more rapid, easy and continual the in
terchange of ideas and thoughts among our
people, the more readily will prejudice and
all its concomitant evils disappear from
among them, and the more closely will the
bonds of friendship be drawn among citizens
of different sections.
If the means of communication were per
fect thronghont the world, ms they are rapid
ly becoming by postal and electrical agen
cies, we might with some reason look for the
return of peace, for that would banish isola
tion, which breeds narrow notions amongst
men, and false and erroneous impressions
in reference to each other, nurtures igno
rance, and fosters the savage spirit of war
fare. We have striking illustrations of this
in Mexico and in nearly all of the South
American States, where the evils that flow
from ignorance, superstition and social and
civil convulsions e ist among populations
which have made but little progress in the
establishment of means of intercommunica
tion. „
We have thought proper to preface the
following statistics of the Savannah Post
Office, with these general reflections on the
interesting subject of postal facilities. We
give them to our readers, for what they are
worth (we mean the reflections), and should
they serve no other end than to suggest
few thoughts among the public in reference
to a subject of such vital importance to all,
they will not have been written in vain.
For the facts and figures appended, we
are indebted to Col. A. L, Harris, our effi
cient and worthy Postmaster.
It is proper that we should state in this
connection, that the people of this city, and
indeed of the State eeneraliv, are largely in
debted to Col. Harris for the restoration of
postal intercourse as rapidly as railway com
munication was restored and obstructing
difficulties surmounted at Washington arising
froth Certain rules of the Department which
greatly embarrassed his efforts to meet the
expectations of the public.
He took charge of the office iu this city
March 6th, 1865, and iu a short time tbere-
aiter reopened the Augusta office uuder the
management of Mr. Foster Blodget. Iu com
pliance with orders from the Rost Office De
partment. Col. Harris, who had been made
its chief agent in this State, attended the re
construction State Convention held at Mil-
ledgeville in October of last year, and conferred
with the delegates from ail parts of the State
as to the most expeditious means of reopen
ing mail routes and appointing Postmasters
throughout the State. Aided by suggestions
and information thus obtained, he prepared
forthwith an outline map showing the varions
routes necessary to supply the State, which
was transmitted to tbe|Postmaster General,
with the names of three huDdrea persons
recommended for postmasters. Immediately
thereafter the Department advertised for
bids for service on the routes recommended,
and conferred the appointments as suggested.
Many of the appointees, however, could
not take the test oath prescribed by Con
gress, and consequently were not commis
sioned.
About this period Mr. P. H. Woodward,
was appointed Special Agent for Georgia,
and, as the result of his energy and activity
in the discharge of his arduous duties has
placed our State on a better footing as to
mail facilities, perhaps, than either of the
other unorganized States. The greatest im
pediment in the way of a speedy accom
plishment of the work in hand has been the
imperative exactions of the test oatb and the
refusal on the port of Congress to, modify
them, notwithstanding the assurance of the
Department, that without snob modification
it is impossible iu many localities to obtain
the services of reliable and efficient men,
Communities wish ingffitost offices reopened,
ft Detail routes re-established should foere-
orebfe careful to select a person ‘for the
vacancy who can take the oath. This done
and the bid for carrying tbe mail on the
route applied for tmn»mitteff to P- H.
Woodward, Special Afeat,'***«£> Col.
* L. Harris, Postmaster! Smnpft«ffi re
wire prompt attention. .
But we will return td the paginal purpose
of this article.
propriety of establishing similar conveniences
at Brunswick, Macon, Atlanta and Colum
bus.
There are bnt six clerks and a porter em
ployed in par Post Office, and the system of
work is a£ admirably arranged that the mails
oi each day are disposed of by this small
clerical force in due time, both in distribu
tion and delivery. The work has been sim
plified by the Department to such an extent
as to require less clerks than formerly.
It has just occurred to us that it would be
advisable to abolish, letter boxes and em
ploy letter carriers to deliver -mail matter
throughout the city. These men might make
five or sit trips per diem iu the business por
tions of tbe city, and two or three trips in
the outer portion. In this matter our city
is behind many of her sisters. Can it be that
the people are loth to adopt a plan fraught
with so many advantages over the old box
system, and which has met with such ready
and-universal favor in most of our cities fur
ther North. There the system has been fully
tried and found eminently satisfactory. Be
sides as an item of economy, we would
state that it is less expensive than the box
system, and of course subserves tbe conve
nience of the public much better. It strikes
ns as being very strange that the new system
is not more generally adopted, when all the
present expenses, besides tbe trouble of daily
or perhhps tri-daily trips to tbe Post Office
might be avoided by simply calling at the
office and leaviog yonr address with the
Postmaster. We commend this branch of
onr subject to the consideration of oar post
master, Col. Harris, and tbe people of the
city believing that like ourselves they will
become impressed with the* importance of'
the proposed change.
A Negro Lyaehed la Mlchlgaa—Horrid
and Blaiphrmoui^ceara—He la Haag to
a Tborn-“Apple” Tree.
We published yesterday morning a brief
sketch, condensed from a very long account,
of tbe attempted killing of tbe wife, little
daughter, and motber-in law of Mr. John
Buck, of Delhj, Michigan. A later account
informs us that the negro was lynched.—
This account has some features so revolting
that we would not publish it but that it de-
velopes acts, sentiments, and "opinions in a
section of tbe Union whose radicalism on the
subjects which have agitated the nation give
them a striking significance, and make
this narrative a part of the “history of the
times.’’
[From the Jackson (Michigan) Citizen.
John Taylor, tbe octoroon who attempted
to murder the Buck family at Delhi, Michi
gan, on Friday nigbt, met a speedy punish
ment for bis diabolical crime at Mason on
Monday night. It will be recollected that be
attempted to mnrder the wife, daughter, and
mother-in-law of Mr. Buck, and then escaped.
None oi the family have yet died, but it is
thought the daughter cannot recover. After
his capture he was lodged in jail at Masou,
shire town of Iogbam county. On Monday
night about 9 o’clock twenty men, armed
with rifles, marched into the quiet village of
Ma on, and proceeded to the county jail.
They were followed by twenty jnore, armed
with revolvers. They were under command
of one George Norton, of Delhi. They
approached the jail, and were met by Sheriff
Moody. They acquainted the sheriff with
their mission,' statiDg they wished to get
pwsession of the negro. The sheriff and
deputy protested against their action The
crowd then rushed up tbe stairs to the
door; at hr A 0 them seized the sheriff
and held mm. a aieuge was ilch uiougbi,
and the door of the negro's cell knocked off,
He was taken out, when some of the mob
proposed to shoot him ou the spot, others
that he be huug'there. Sheriff Moody came
forward and stated that as they had taken
trom hiffcustody the negro, they sfibdld uot
hang him there, and requested them to take
him elsewhere. Tbe captain of the gang
spoke and said that out ot respect to tbd cit
izens of Mason and the sheriff they would
go elsewhere to execute the culprit- They
then repaired to a place about a half a mile
northwest of the village, near the railroad,
and halted iu front of a thorn-apple tree.
A fire was kindled, a rope thrown over a
limb of tbe tree, and the noose adjusted
around tbe prisoner's neck. A ring was
then formed, and Mr. Buck permitted to
question Taylor. He confessed tbe crime
with which lie was charged, but denied that
he had ever killed any oDe. The poor wreteh
trembled in every limb, and so great was his
fright that he at once - fainted. He soon re
vived, and upon beiog iurther questioned,
stated that be bad threatened to kill a man
at Pulaski once, but did. not carry out his
threat. He was tbeu prepared tor execu
tion. He asked Buck’s forgiveness for
what be bad done.
Some one here called for a minister to pray
for the negro-; no one responded; a c&ll was
then made for some professing Christian to
offer np a prayer. Still no response; when
a low, drunken fellow named Cook, of Eaton
Rapids, came forward, and said he would
pray for the damned nigger. He then began
a blasphemous address in tbe shape of a
prayer, concluding by saying he hoped that

FOURTH DAT's PROCEEDINGS.
Philadelphia, September 6.
The Convention re-assembled this morn
ing.
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. . ,
Senator Creswell, bf Maryland, from the
committee on the subject, submitted the fid-,
lowing “Appeal of the Loyal Mem. of the
South to their Fellow-Citizens oi the United
States,” viz: ...
The representatives of eight millions of
American citizens appeal for protection and
justice to their friends and brothers in the
States that have been spared the cruelties of
rebellion afrd the direct horrors of civil war.
Here, on the spot where freedom was..born,
offered and pledged by the fathers of the
Republic, we implore your help against a re
organized oppression, whose sole object it-is
to remit the control of onr destinies to the
controllers of ihe rebellion, after they have
been vanquished in honorable battle, qnd
thus at once to punish us for onr'devotion to
omaeountry, and to entrench themselves in
the .official fortifications of the Government.
Others have related tile thrilling story of our
wrongs from reading and observation; We
come before you as unchallenged witnesses
and speak from personal knowledge our sad
experience. If you fail ns, we are more ut
terly deserted and betrayed than had the
contest of arms been decided against us; for
in that case even victorious slavery would
have.found profit in the speedy pardon of
those who had been among its bravest foes.
Unexpected perfidy in Ihe highest place of
the government, accidentally filled by one
wbo adds cruelty to ingratitude, and forgives
the giiiity as he proscribes tbe innocent, bas
stimulated, the almost extinguished revenge
of 1, the beaten conspirators, . and now
the rebels, Who offered to yield:np every,
thing to save their own lives, are seeking to
consign us to .bloody graves. Where we ex
pected to find a benefactor we find a prose
cutor. Having lost our champion, we re
turn to you, wbo can make Presidents and
puuisu traitors. Our last hope, under God,
is in the unity and dimness of the States that
elected Abraham Lincoln and defeated Jeff.
Davis. The best statement of our case is
the appalling yet unconscious confession ot
Andrew Johnson, wbo in savage hatred of
his own record, proclaims his purpose to
clothe four millions of traitors with tbe
power to impoverish and degrade eight anil-
lions of loyal men. Our wrongs bear
alike upon all races, and our tyraDts,
unchecked by you, will award tbe same
fate to white and black. We can remain
as we are only as inferiors and vie
tims. We may fly from our homes, but we
should fear to trust our fate with ; those who,
after denouncing and defeating treason, re
fused just rights to those who had bravely
assisted them in the good work. Till we
are wholly rescued there is neither peace for
you nor prosperity for ns. We cannot bet
ter define at oDCe our wrongs and our wants
thad by declaring that since Andrew John
son affliliated with his slanderers and our con
stant enemies, his hand has been laid heavily
upon every earnest loyalist in the South.
History, the just judgment of the present and
the certain confirmation of the future; invite
and command us to declare : That after re
jecting his own remedies for restoring (he
Union, he has resorted to the weapons of
traitors to bruise and beat down patriots.
That after declaring that none but tbe
loyal should govern tbe reconstructed 8o»th,
he bus practised upon tfie maxim that none
blit traitors'shall role. That while in tbe
Noitb he has removed conscientious men
froth office, and filled many of the vacan
cies witli the sympathizers of treason, in the
South he bas removed the proved and trust
ed patriot, and selected tbe equally proved
and convicted traitor. That aite^rave men
who had fought for the old Hag nave been
nominated for positions, tbeir names have
been recalled and avowed rebels substituted.
That every original Unionist iu tbe South wbo
stands fast to Andrew Johnson’s covenants
from 1861 to 1865 has been ostracised. That
be has corrupted the local courts by offering
premiums for defiance of the laws of Con
gress, and by openly discouraging the obser
vance of the oath agaiust treason. That
while reiusing to punish one conspicuous
traitor, though thousands had earned tbe
penally ot death, more than a thousand of
devoted Union citizens have been' murdered
in cold blond si nee tbe surrender of Lee, and
iu do case have tbeir assasins been brought
to judgment. That he bas pardoned soineof
the worst of the rebel criminals North and
South, including some who have taken hu
man life in circumstances of unparalleled
atrocity; etc, etc.
Here the address branches off into a long
phillipic against the “slave power oligarchy
of tbe South, ’’ a perverted history of the late
War, etc., and Concludes as follows, without
touching on negro suffrage :
We are here to Consult together how best
tdJproti^a far a union bf truly republican
StatS—to scek to relume thirty-six stars on
the old flag. We are to see that ten of these
Slates are not opaque bodies, paling tbeir
ineffectual fires beueath the gloom ana dark-
Convention then adjourned until 6,
of

8. Resolved, That there
cat; legal or constitution!
secede or withdrawn from the
tSey may, by wicked and
lutionmnd force, sever the'relations which
they have sustained to the Union; aodwhea
they do, and assume the altitude of public
enemies at war with the United States, they
subject themselves to all the rules and prin
ciples of international law aad the laws, of
war applicable to belligerents, according to
modton usage. '
10. Resolved, That the organisations in
tbe unrepresented States assuming to be State
governments, not having'
fished, are not legitimati
recognised by iCeugress.
The resolution* were adopted separately,
and a committee appointed to lay them be

with hisses, and ruled out of order by the

The
P.M.
REMARKS OF AgSA DtCXISSOS.
After the adjournment of the Convention
Anna Dickinson was called for, and coming
forward, after being introdqeed by Theodore
Tiltoa, spoke at some length to the audi
ence. She said that there were aoffle things
it were better to be silent about than to say
too little. She did not see what more light
Kentucky and Maryland had here than any
Northern State- They had come here to in
terpose the cry of. expediency against the
cry of lattice from tbe South. Southern
men haa been butchered in committee rooms
and elsewhere to keep them from doing foil
justice- She would tell Southern men that
if they would stamp upon tbeir banner the
words “liberty, equality and fraternity," the
people would then sustain them- If they
want to be considered ou the side of negro
suffrage, then let them stand up like men-
aud declare in favor of it, no matter what
Kentucky and Maryland might say.
The Republican party was devoted, to
black stiffi age. Kentucky demands j. of you,
said Miss D., to give tbe black man back to
his chains. I pray you, men- of the Gulf
Slates, never yield to such a demand while
there is a loyal heart left among you. [Groat
cheers, throwing up of hats, and waving of
handkerchiefs.] She sat in this Convention
yesterday and neard Maryland offer a reso
lution which made her face bnm with an
guish. Maryland was but the mouthpiece of
the paltry effice-holders at tbe North.
REMARKS OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
At the conclusion of Miss Dickinson’s
speech Frederick Douglass was cal.ed tor
and came forward. He came here a few
days a^o, he said, with unmingled feelings of
admiration. He was compelled to say now
that he lilted the men before him better as a
public meeting than as a Convection. [Ap
plause] He wished the Convention, .as a
Convention, were half as true to their con
victions as tbe men who compose it were
when in a mass meeting. He appealed to
the audience to adopt principles of justice,
liberty and humanity.
■VERIRU SESSION.
At the evening session, a motion being
made by Brownlow to adjourn time die.t . the
Convention was near breaking up in a row;
a mutual split between the border and Gulf
State delegates did take place, and several of
the former withdraw from the Quay— tine
It was finally agreed that tbe Golf State dele
gates should make their report in tavor of
negro suffrage on the following day.
General Mahosb Arrested in Naw
York-—As President of the Norfolk and Pe
tersburg railroad, it became bis duty to in
stitute proceedings- against tbe New Line
Steamboat Company for infraction of their
contract with tbe corporatian uuder bis con
trol, and in tbe initial stages of proceedings
tbe “George Leary” was attached. Nego
tiations thereupon were opened by the par
ties interested in tbe defence, and tbe steam
er waa released on security, leaving tbe mat
ter to be decided by tbe courts.
On Saturday last he was arrested at the
New York Hotel. He bad been riding out
witiTadme ladies. Said tbe officer: “Iwiah

tbe national constitution offers tbe most

would be the commencement of lasting pro

accept it as the best present remedy, and ap

John Minor Bolts, alter some remarks,
moved the adoption of the address.
Mr. Sherwood, of Texas, offered a substi
tute, and a long debate ensued, but the ad-
dress was finally adopted. . ~
u. Hamilton, of Texas, from Ihe Committee
on Resolutions, reported a series-of resolu
tions, of which tbe character and quality
will appear from the following wUcb we
select: •
3. Resolved, Thai tbe uubappy policy
pursued by Andtew Johnson, Fresimmtof
the United States, in Us effects upon the
loVal people Of the South, to unjust, oppres
sive add intolerant; and accordmgiy, how
ever ardently we desire to see our respective
States once more represented in the Con
gress of tbe nation, wc would deplore tbeir
restoration on the inadequate condiflotw$re-
scribed by the President, as tendiug not to
abate, but only torasgnily the perils and sor
rows of our condition.
6. Resolved, That foe political power of
tbe Govtaamilt ot ibe United States in tbe
administrSteuM public affi^s is by its coa-
atitutiofi conftred to the popular or law
making department of foe Government.
7. Resolved, That foe political status of
foe States lately in rebellion tofoe Umted
States Government, and the rigbla «*the
people of such States, are political fees-
tions, and are, therefore, clearly within tbe
him among the niggers there, but that he
hoped the negro would go to hell, where all
niggers ought to go. When this wretch had
finished his blasphemous harrangue, some ,
one shouted for the captain to give the word.
The captain was not to be found. Xhe lieu
tenant was then called upon; he stated he
had done all he should, and declined to have
anything farther to do with the matter.'
Cook then stepped forward and said he would
Ira charge of the affair. He then counted
one, two, three, and gave the word. The
rope was quickly pulled, and the body of
the would-be murderer was swinging in the
air. Not a muscle moved, nor were there
any signs of life after he was pulled up. It
was thought he died before the word was
given, being frightened to death. The body
hung for fiiteeen minutes, when it was eul
down. Several wished to shoot at the body
while hanging, but were restrained. The
lyuebers tben proceeded to dig a grave at
tbe foot of foe tree, in which they proposed
to bury tbe body. Tbe owner of thb land
came forward and protested against the
burial, and foe corps was tben thrown into a
wagon and carrid off. Thus ended foe. jast
act of tbe drama. The whole affair
characterized by inhumanity and lawless
ness, the victim being uamercifally dragged
to his death by bis cowardly lynchers.
The country bas already had enough of
mob law, and we hope tbe lynchers will be
dealt with as they deserve. We learn tbat
efforts are being made to capture tbe ring
leaders in this barbarous affair. We trust
they may be apprehended and punished. It
is stated that the negro was not of sound
mind, and bis conduct from the beginning
ot foe tragedy denoted imbecility.
The radicals are rejoicing over their vic
tory in Vermont; but, says foe Washington
Chronicle, when any New England State
elects a colored man to any responsible office
we will throw np our hat and hurrah. There’s
not even a negro constable in all New Eng
land. Where are foe guarantees that Ver
mont will remain loyaL
—At the request of the managers of foe
Colored Methodist Cbnrch in Lynchburg,
Va., who are about erecting a new place of
worship, the ceremony of laying the corner
stone is to be performed by foe Masons, ac
cording to the rites of their ancient Order.
The Lynchburg Virginian says that this is
the first instance of the kind known in that,
vicinity, and commends the fact to Korfoern
B ple as an illnstralionof the excellent feel-
existing between foe white and colored

OF NOTES.
Tkt Radical Coaveatiaa.
[From the Philadelphia Age.]
The labors of tbe Radical Convention an prer, and
tbe deOfaerotioas Of that motley asseiaWate pave now
become matters of history. Never did any Conven
tion result so disastrously to Its originators. Dissen
sion reigned supreme sines the iaeeptfcm of the
movement, and iu projectors are appalled at tbe tstat
consequences which will certainly raaolt from tbe
calamity which haa befallen them In the city of Phila
delphia. In order to emulate, if posaible, the grand
Union demonstration in this city on the ltth at Aa-
“dost end ashes to tbeir lipe.” Two separate and
distinct bodies have been in session all the week, and
never came together except in the public streets.
There was no harmony in either branch, but on
every side "paaoienaU discord reared eternal JUhel. 1 '
Tbe Northern Convention employed its time princi
pally in trying to dictate terms to the "Southern Loy
alists," while its members affectionately teeslvel.
within their fold Fred. Donglsss, and applauded to
the echo oU the oratorical efforts off that favorite Afri
can. The “Soothers Loyalists’ tianvention" at Na
tional Hall was in a state of Ntoiffaslon worse cox-
founded, "from its opening moments until its adjourn
ment. Nearly fo^be delgatee expressed theiMrivse
did not wont'their plaifm-m tossy so frankly, beeense
they candidly stated, such a declorataoa weald utSsrly
destroy the Republican petty in the coming elnrtinas.
Under the pressure of expediency, the "policy men”
succeeded in getting a moderate appeal sad resoldtioas
sibqitnil. aad then wanted to adjourn sfneette. Bat ths
"unreconstructed" Radicals objected to this shallow
dodM aaOdetemiESd to hava their say. Which they
didyssteadfor Their "report" which vis adopted By
large rote, goes tbe whole length in favor of negro suf
frage and negro equality, and, of course, ceased some
amusing scenes in the happy family. Mr, James
Speed, a miserable trimmer from Kentucky,'‘re
tired la disgust, and left John Minor Batts in: the
colored delegate from
Louisiana, made e speech, endorsing the "report,",
and Was enthusiastically cheered by the august body,
but when Judge (-afford, at Alstons, a while man,
endeavored to present Us views, he was promptly
end decidedly hused, whereupon "a delegste hoped'
that members would not make themselves dtagrsaa-
fuL" The assemblage was composed of such pecu
liar material, however, that nothing bnt discordance
and wrangling should have been expected from its ds,
liberators. The once great Republican party was com
pelled to listen to and appland foe Msnhqjis ot
Brownlow, the puerilities ofDouglaee,and the nVsisenss
of A. Dickinson. The members ofthat once powerful or-
gaaiaatiQR were forced to march fa wwisrtm with
segro delegates, aud, under the whip of the ultss,
"aureconstructed" Jttdlcels, finally gove rn there ad
