The following card appears in the last issue
of the Thomasville Enterprise:
Thomasville, September 1, 1868.
EditorEnterprise :
Dear Sip.—As much as I dislike appearing
in newspapers, in justice to myself I am
constrained to ask of you a place in your
columns for this. I understand that a
little paper in Savannah is using my name
for Thomas county. The .use of my
name in that connection is as unauthorized
as it is unwarrantable. My acceptance
of the terms -of - “Reconstruction’’, by no
means made me a Radical, Reconstruction
; and Radicalism are words to me of very
i different import. The former in my opin
ion, under the then existing circumstances
meant the salvation—the latter the destrnc
tiou of the best and dearest interests of the
people. Recent developments not only
confirm me in my opinion of tbe former,
bat plainly show that the intelligent masses,
once more enfranchised, will .prevent tbe
latter, and that the day eapidly approaches
when the reign of “carpet-bags” will cease,
and the State be restored to legitimate rale.
i ' T. S. Hopkins. .
Mr. A. L Holliday, recently elected Tax
Receiver cf Thomas county, requests the
Enterprise to announce that he has abatt-
doned the Radical Destructionsts, and de
clines to enter upon the duties of his office.
He says the reconstruction .that we now «n-
f y is not the reconstruction that he desired.
e thinks that the Radfogto contemplate the
degradation pf the white race, and the eleva
tion of-the negro to a sphere he is totally
unfit to fill. He will support Seymour and
Blair, and thinks it is -thrilxluty.ajfieyery
honest man and patriot to do likewise.
The editor of the Enterprise" says he has:
been making a close count and can spot on
ly four white men in Thomas county who
will vote the Grant and, Colfax ticket. He

many reasons why elections Bhonld be held
thisfalL -In the almost certain event of the
election of Seymour and Blair, it is almost
Certain that among the first official act3 of tbe
Democratic Executive, would be to call a spe-
cial meeting of the new Congress. The anom
alous condition of the country would render
such a step necessary, as without necessary
legislation the administration would be
trammeled by the repudiated and uncon
stitutional Reconstruction Acts of the Radi*
cal Congress. In such called session the
administration would need all its strength in
tbe House" of Representatives, and- If va
cancies exist, some time must necessarily
have to elapse before special elections could
be held. This would cause more or lea3 em
barrassment, confusion and delay. Ano
ther consideration not to be overlooked, is ihe
fact that the deep interest felt in the Presiden
tial issue and the resolute determination
of the Democrats to bring out their entire
strength to secure the triumph of their nomi
nees, would, if the, election for Congressmen
were to take place either' before or at the
same time, grgatly strengthen their Congres
sional vote. If. it is desirable to avoid.an
election between thi3 time and the Presiden
tial election, the Legislature might authorize
the people to vote for Congressmen at the
same time. The only 1 very plausible objec
tion that we have seen urged against the
Legislature authorizing, an > election, for. Con
gressmen this fall is that the whole system
of onr present State Government, based on
tbe unconstitutional reconstruction acts, is
illegal, and that any change in our present
election £laws by the Legislature would also
be illegal. There is certainly force in this
objection, and tbe only answer that can be
made to it is that, even if tbe Legislature
itself is illegal and thff election of members
jf Congress under its authority would be
Regal, still we would be no worse off when
that question comes to be settled by having
even bogus Representatives in Congress. It
f ja not iaour power to abrogate the recon
struction laws of Congress. While they re
main as law we are bound by them. When
they are expunged from the Statute book, as
we hope and believe they will be, jt will be
time enough for us to go back to the pre
existing law. When that time comes our
’delegation in Congress will not be in our
way.
Bat there is no time now to discuss this
important question. The whole matter is
with the Legislature. There is no other au
thority to direct; and K in the judgment of
the Democratic members of the Legislature,
it is proper . that the election of Congress
men shall be deferred until next year, they
should make known that decision at once,
either by official action or in some manner
that would be regarded as authoritative by
tbe party throughout the State. Some of
the Districts have already held conventions
and made their nominations in accordance
with the suggestions of the State Executive
Committee, and others are preparing to do
so, while, one District, the Seventh, has de
|
dined to nominate. The subject is not ono
for debate, but for immediate decision, and
•we hope that the Legislature will put a stop
to further complications by some prompt and
definite' action in the premises.
knows what “caterpillars” are, it is useless
to hold out hopeB that are worse than vain.
We can at this stage logk to nothing better
than a total failure of the sea island cotton
crop. Although the crop is more advanced,
the caterpillar is three weeks earlier thar*
last year, the season has been in the highi
degree favorable for them, and they
more generally prevalent than last- And
God knows, their work was disastrous
enough last year.

Cotton in Florida.—Accounts from va
rious parts of Florida represent the cotton
crop os being irretrievably ruined by the ca
terpillar, and the yield will be lees than last,

letter received by a factor of Charleston :
Houston, Columbia Co., Fla., )
September 5, 1863. J
Cotton in this and adjoining counties is
hopelessly ‘rained by the caterpillar, not a
leaf left, and all the top bolls eaten up in
some fields—all more or less injured. There
can be np doubt as to the result in this
cinily—a half crop' a3 compared- with ]
year's crop, is tbe utmost limit.
In some places tbe fields look like a fire
had passed through them.
Accounts from adjoining counties are
nearly as bad.
The Caterpillar.—"We were shown yes
terday, at the store of Messrs. Lrorey &
Alexander, two. cotton stocks, which had
been brought down from the plantation of
the estate of B. Roddiii. oD Wando liver,
about seven miles from the city. One of tbe
plants, we learn, had been subjected to the
ravages of the worm for about two weeks,
and was completely snipped of leaves, not
even a remnant of a -lest remained, and in
some places toe stem itself had" not escaped
the attack of Ibis destructive insect. Tbe
other plant was from an adjoining field, and
had only been attacked by tbe caterpillars
about twenty-four hours, and exhibited signs'
of its ravages. The leaves were in many
places completely devoured, while in other
places tbpjwOfm had formed a cocoon by a
fold, pf 4 Jear,; tod,-was appsiently inc a tor-

From a gentleman who has lately arrived
from the neighborhood referred to, we-learn
that the .worm has done considerable dam

continue ‘ notwithstanding tbe strenuous ef
forts made to destroy them.—Charleston

Cotton—Southwest Geo'roia.—Frolfi all
that we can learn from intelligent farmers
and onr exchanges of different localities in
this section of the State, the cotton crop will
be very short—not exceeding a half-cMp*

than a third 6i fcurtdL of a crop. ' Tbe cater

the condition of the growing cotton crop
in this connty and the snrroanding section,
a great and disastrous change has occurred.
Two weeks ago, althongh the caterpillar had
made its appearance in many Sections, and

The Death of Colonel Cameron
The New York Tribune, of Monday, pub
lishes the follow letter from General Hamp
ton, pronouncing the charge made qgainBi
him concerning the dfeath of Oblonel Came
ron as false.
To the Editor of the Tribune:
Sib :—The Times last. week, inserted a cor-
respendent’s article, signed “Hoboken,” as
serting . unqualifiedly that General Wade
Hampton, at toe battle cf Manassas, in cold
blood and maliciously, shot Mr. Cameron,
the brother of the Secretary of War. : It
seemed so utteily inconsistent with General
Hampton’s well known character for bravery
a Republican as any man can be, bnt despise,
as I trust all onrpaity. do, such maligna
and unjustifiable attacks upon roe honor ai
integrity of an opponent. J. H. P.
New. York, September 5. : X :
Walhalla, August 30, 1868.
Sib : —Your letter enclosing an article from
the Times, of the 17th inst., has just reached
me, and it is due tb yob' that I- should ac
knowledge the civility yon have shown in
calling my attention to this attack upon me,
I feel such a profound contempt for the Times
abd other papers of that.sbrt, that I should
□ot have hnmbled myself to notice the ar
ticle in question^ nor should I do so now jbnt
to respond to your letter. This i dd frankly,
and I pronounce the statements made by
Hoboken,” ! in reference to myself at the
battle of Manassas, as utterly fulsfe.' Tb be
more specific, I assert “that I never com
manded, at any.time, the Blaek Horse Cav
alry that my command in that fight was a
regiment of infantry ; that I ; never ; shot at
Colonel Cameron, and that I never saw him,
to my knowledge, while 'alive or ‘"dead.
Thanking yon for your, kindness in sendtog
me the paper, I am very respectfully yours,
Wade Hampton.

Clift for Congress Again !
The Radical" Convention held at Blackshear
during, the last week nominated Clift again
for Congress. We were"in hopes that this
dirty dog-woUld” never be heard of again
after "hie great Ibipeaehment move. Spribg-
ing.from a cesatpool of the lowest infamy—
without education of brain or heart—and
reeking to impose himself upon a people
who loathe and dispise him, he is a disgrace
to hi» race, and totally unworthy to repre
sent a constituency, of Srudwieh Islanders—
or barbarods Hottentots,
i He T - is far below-the colored race, who
nominated him, and this fact Bradley fally
appreciated when he repudiated his Domina
tion—and announced himself an independent
candidate. (■
Evoty colored voter who casts his vote for
Clift’will-be compromising his seff-respect.
Don’t do it; if yon will vote the Radical tick
et, yote for Bradley qr some other man than
the great incendiary horse-doctor. He has
betrayed his own race—and will betray yon
when he gets his price. He is an enemy to
God and man.

A Wonderful Individual —All great

Living there,.is an individual whose re
markable bareer is almost without a parallel
in Jhe annals of 'romance. He was born in
Indiana and is now abont forty years of age.
His name is Edward Carathers. Being en
gaged tin a personal difficulty with a man
named Simpson, at Madison, in the fall of
1816, he killed his antagonist and fled to the
American army then, entering Mexico. At
the battle of Chapoltepec be was taken
prisoner and laid for months in a Mexican
doogeon. Being released at last he married
a Spanish girl and settled on the Rio Grande.
Here being attacked by the Indians, himself
and family were carried into captivity where

Spoons.—The Cincinnati Commercial has
the,following from New Orleans: ‘ Men of
veracity and soberness, belonging to this
dity, pain my ears with atories of theft and
pillage in Louisiana by toe men and officers
of the New England division. One of these
gentlemen remarked to me that if it had not
been his good fortune to know the people of
New England by other signs than those
afforded by a portion of ita soldiery in this
State, he would.have.come to the conclusion
that the people of that section were little
better than a race of thieves. In tact, I am
more than half convinced of the literal truth
of the allegations against Batler of appro
priating silver spoons. That he did carry
on an itlicit^trade wiih the rebels across the
lake is pffic^ally authenticated. This estab
lished, why. should the spoon story be
doubted? A gentleman at my elbow, who
does not believe .that the people of the. North
are,thieves, says he had. frequent opporidni-
fies during the Butler occupation of pur
chasing from Union soldiers, for a song, rare

houses along the upper river coast hud been

1862 a steamboat arrived here from Baton

HELMBOLD’S
EXTRACT of BUCHU
Hundreds suffer on in silence, and hondreds ot
others apply vainly to "druggists and doctors, who
either merely tantalize them with the hope of a curs
or apply remedies which make them worse. I would
not wish to assert anything that would do injustice
to the hfilleted, bnt I am obliged to say that although
it may be produced from excessive exhaustion iff the
powers of life, by laborious employment, unwhole
some air and food, profuse menstruation, the use of
tea and coffee, and frequent childbirth, ltisfnr afiotsr
caused by direct irritation, applied to the micoii
membrane of the vagina itself.
When reviewing the causes ot these distrtmiig
complaints, it iamoat painful to contemplate the at
tendant evils consequent upon them, it is tat am
ple justice to the subject to enumerate a few of the
many additional causes which so largely affect the
life, health, and happiness of woman in all ctasMsof
society, and which, consequently, £ Sect, more or iem
directiy. the welfare of the entire humanfamily. The
manta that exiet3 for precocious education and car
riage causes the yean that nature: designed for cor
poreal development to be wasted and perverted la
tbe restraints ot dress, the early confinement of
school, and especially tn the unhealthy exdiemutt of
tbe bail-room. Thus, with tbe body hslf-<lotbed,
and the mind unduly excited by pleasure, perverting
in midnight revel the hours designed -by nature for
sleep and rest, the work of destruction is half accom
plished.
Inconsequence of this early strain open her sys
tem, unnecessary effort is required by the delicate
votary to retain her situation in school at slater day,
thus aggravating the evil. When one excitement is
over, another in prospective keeps the mind morbidly
sensitive to impression, while the now constant re
straint of fashionable dress, absolutely forbidding
the exercise indispensable to tbo attainment and re
tention of organic health and strength; thetxposnie
to night air; ths sadden change of temperature; the
complete prostration proanced by excessive dancing,
must, of necessity, produce their legitiintte effect.
At last, an early marriage caps the climax cf misery,
and tho unfortunate one, hitherto so utterly regacc- .
less ot the plain dictates and remonstrances of he:
delicste nature, becomes an unwilling subject of med
ical treatment. Thu is bat m truthful picture of the
experience of thousands of bur young women.
Long fcforc the ability to exerd iaihe functions of
the generative organs, they require an edneat onef
their peculiar nervous system, composed ot what Is
called the tissue, which is. In common with the
female breast and lips, evidently under the control of
mental emotions Sad associations at an early period
of life; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emo
tions, when excessive, lead, long before puberty, to
habits which sap the very life of their victims era
nature has self completed, their development.
