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 r ,vp -iiPo< 'L, Monday evening.—Breadstuff* firm. f ‘ s ‘oiis quiet. Pork dull.

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 dent actii jttif 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 fore Congress. A motion to make Fred. Douglass one of the committee wau received with hisses, and ruled out of order by the chair. 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 to speak to you,” or words to that effect; to wbieh tbe Qeneral replied, “Sir, I will at tend to you as soon as I disengage myself from these ladies.” “No, sir,” replied the lipstave, “you’ll attend to me now. You’re my prisoner.” And. thus brutally was he taken in custody in tbe presence of his fam ily, at an early hour which, involved his de tention in jail, whether be was taken after an abortive effort on tha part of bis friends to have him bailed, > ., On Saturday the General wad > rsieafied by Jndge Barnard on $25,000 paid up in fmd* by Mr, Francis Skiddy, President New York steamers (Old Line). The' parties to this persecution having, in their petty malice, required this, and that too from a man worth a million \^~Norfolk Day Boyle. (Mi We would suggest to the Departnfent the | people. if the nigger went to heaven, God would put ness of oligarchical tyranuy and oppression. -- VVe wish them to be brilliant stars—emblems of constitutional liberty-glittering orbe, sparkling with tbe life-giving principles of *h$«|od(rirepublic; fitting adornments af tbe glorious temple of freedom. Our last and only hope is in the unity and fortitnde of the loyal people of America in tbe support and vindication of tbe Thirty-ninth Con fess, and in the election of a controlling loion majority in tbe succeeding or Fortieth CoDgress. While tbe new article amending tbe national constitution offers tbe most liberal conditions to tbe authors of the re bellion, and does not come up to the measure oUour expectations, we believe its ratification would be the commencement of lasting pro tection to all our people, and, therefore, we accept it as the best present remedy, and ap peal to our brothers and friends in tbe North and West to make R their watchword in the coming election- The tokens are auspicious reckless man in the Presidential chair, we cannot doubt that the traitors and sympa thizers be bas encouraged will recognize that verdict as the sorest indication that Uie mighty power which crushed the rebellion is Still alike, and those who attempt to op pose or defy it will do so af the risk of tbeir own destruction. ' • ' ' ‘ 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.

[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 hesion to the monstrous doctrine at negrd suffrage tadical Convention which hoe MtS aftttuff all, week in onr city, and In Pennsylvania to give ex presuon to their ~ - ' * ' “ the baUot-box on This they anil do day! —Then was • toura—out ct Hoataviile, Ala., lately, at which one of the eonteitaols appeared as foe “Kfcight of foe Gray Jack et.” Passing down one of theatreetr, attifed for tbe toumay, be wm halted by a detach ment of United States soUjero, and the but-, tonsweretafo<5RfM^etofgray. g made do resistance, and woes asked wbK he meant by appearing ia rebel umCoob, re plied, “tournament’* —A strong effortjis being made to indooe immigration to Chili aad the South Ameri- Hon-Forfeiture, El n d 6 w ment i ii 3aini*.v* * ..j . • .. ... . j. ft* - !. i ■; . t . .* Life Policies Written. ..I 111 of.j: or lltclll uhl . “ Call and got a Ctrcmiar setting forth rate* 4i . >.li Jiblj liiU VI 1 i, .. i.He: .if—•arjsqf'si—rr........
