Navigation of the Etowah.
There is a scheme on foot to op-n up the
Coosa river and its tributaries, so that they
may be navigated. For this purpose, we
believe a convention met in Rome last
week. What was done in that direction
we have not yet learned, but we hope that
steps were taken which will result in the
success of the enterprise. Water transpor
tation is always cheap, and, if we could
have our groceries shipped to Canton from
New Orleans, via Rome, it would help our
section wonderfully. But is the navigation
of the Etowah river practicable? Those
who profess to know, say it is. In conver
sation with a friend who lives on the Coo
sawatee, the other day, we were informed
that the “Mary Carter,” a little steamboat
on that river, carries without difficulty a
thousand to fifteen hundred bushels of
grain in eighteen-inch water, in a channel
eighteen or twenty feet wide. It seems to
us that a channel of that depth and width
might be opened in the Etowah with very
little difficulty. Wouldn’t it be nice to
have a little steamboat laden with passen
gers and freight, to come from Rome to
Canton every week!
The State Archives at Milledgeville.
Some time ago, Governor Smith appoint
ed Colonel Peterson Thweatt, a f rrncr
faithful and efficient Comptroller-general,
to look after and take charge of the archives
at the old capitol. We think the appoint
ment was eminently proper and important,
and that it could not have been intrusted
to a better man. But why was it not done
sooner ? It appears from a long letter from
Colonel Thweatt in the Albany A’etei, that
many valuable books and documents be
longing to the State have been promiscu
ously scattered over the floors of the old
capitol for years, and that many of them
have become worthless from abuse and
neglect, while others have been abstracted
for the purpose of swindling the State and
her people. It is evident that somebody is
guilty of gross neglect in this matter; and
the pub ic servants whose duty it was to
take care of this property of the State, and
who have negle. ted that duty until this
late hour, justly deserve to be censured by
the people and held responsible for the loss
which the State has sustained by their
carelessness and neglect.
Colonel Thweatt says in his letter : “It
makes the heart sick to see the great loss
the State has sustained in her earlier Gov
ernors not having had at le.ist four or five
copies each of the pamphlet acts and jour
nals of the earlier years of Georgia, and
other valuable reports, bound and pre
served.”
We do not propose to discuss this mat
ter, but feel it to be our duty as a public
journalist, and as a true G o-giaa. to speak
out and condemn every palpable and inex
cusable omission of duty by our public
officers, as well as to express at all times,
without “fear, favor, or affection,” our dis
approval of every act, whether public or
private, by which the State is wronged,
and the burdens c f the people are increased
by extravagant and unnecessary taxation.
The War of Rac< s.
We occasionally hear the fear expressed
by some of a war ol races; others, again,
ridicule such an idea, and contend that
Mich a thing is entirely improbable. But
the fact is, disgtvse it as we may, that hos
tility already exists between the white and
colored races in the South, and this spirit
of antagonism manifests itself on every oc
casion when an exciting cause is presented.
It is unnecessary to cite instances in proof
of our position, for (he history of the past
ten years is full of them ; and yet some
people are unwilling to believe or admit
that there is any danger of a serious con
flict between the races.
It must be clear to < v.ry reflecting mind
that the whites and blacks can never dwell
together in the s me country, in peace and
contentment, upon terms of political or any
other sort of tqua’ity, for enmity exists
between them. Concealed, it may be; but
still it exists The colored man is restless
and dissatisfied in the iufe tor position a*
signed him in society. Having tasted of
liberty and power, he has become intoxi
cated and longs for more. With impa
tience he watches for opportunities to
secure what he has been taught to believe
is unjustly denied him, and. is anxious to
assert his rights, lie regards the white
man of the South as his natural < uemv,
simply because he refus.s m admit his high
pretensions. ITis seeming humility is a
matter of mere policy an I necessity. He
stoops th d he may conquer, lie seeks an
education that be may turn his rival down,
and gain the as.\nd uiey over him. His
ambition is vaulting, and nothing short of
a dominion »iu - h a- he enjoys in South Car
olina will ever satisfy him, in Geo-gia oi
anywhere else. He cm not endure the
pressure th it is on the ‘*!>ottom rail.” It
he can not roost on the top limb, he will
sullenly refuse to roost on the same tree
widi the white man. These are some of |
the characteristics of i||t> eoloivd man, ami
they are nm the r suit of the vanity of ig
norance. as some contend, for they are in
tensified by moral and mental cultivation.

We aie the friend of the honest colored
man, and we think a good deal of forbear
ance should be exercised toward the race.
At the same time we insist that we should
view the situation from a stand-point unin
fluenced and unprejudiced by present and
momentary infer,st. We think the people
of the South should abandon the idea that
the negro is an essential clement in our
society, and that immediate steps should
be taken for his colonization. 11- rein lies
our only hope of peace, safety and pros
perity. If we could not live peaceably
with the red man, neither can we with the
black. Oil and water can not be mixed.
The politician may need the negro as a
stepping stone into office and power, but
the masses of the white people can do bet
ter without him. A few who possess large
landed monopoli- s may think him indis
pensable to raise coi ton; but it would be
better for that class, and the country too, if
they would sell the lands to thrifty and en
terprising immigrants, and invest the pro
ceeds in manufactories. The uncertain and
unsettled condition of affairs in the South
is an effectual bar to immigration. No
matter how great the inducements w: offer
to people of other sections to come and
help us to possess and develop the country,
they are unwilling to enter the strife and
to come in contact with the colored race.
They do not wish to come as mere adven
turers and carpet-baggers, and therefore
they prefer not to come at all; but let the
negro be removed and assigned a country
to himself, and a new’ and a brighter era
will dawn upon the South at once. New
industries will spring into life ; our mount
ains and valleys will teem with industrious
millions, whose varied productions will
swell the commerce of the world, and
bring untold millions of material wealth to
our shores Which, then, is better—strife
and uncertainty, or peace and assurance?
noverty and dependence, or wealth and in
dependence ?
There is no way to dodge the issue; it
stares us in the face, and “he that runs
may read”; and there is no use in closing
our eyes to facts, and in hugging die delu
sion that we can longer use the negro to
promote our ease our comfort, or pros
perity. He has served his day, and is now’
alienated from us, and the breach between
us is widening every day. His hand is
against us, and the sooner he is thrown en
tirely upon his own resources, and told to
“go in peace,” the better it will be for us.
As to how, when, and where he shall go,
we leave it for wiser heads to determine ;
but we say, Let him go! The world is
wide; and how can the two races “walk
together” here, “except they be agreed”?
There can be no permanent agreement un
der the circumstances ; therefore, let him
go. Let him go where the white man will
not interfere with his “pursuit of happi
ness” in his own peculiar way. Let him
go where the presence of the pale face will
not be a continual source of annoyance
and irritation. Let him go and be happy,
and peace will bo left behind him.
The Railroad Meeting at Murphy.
We have glorious news from the mount
ains. We learn from the party returning
from the meeting at Murphy, that there
was an immense concourse of true-hearted
mountaineers, all anxious and determined
to have a railroad, if possible. We con
gratulate our fellow-citizens that the line
was changed from Ducktown to Murphy,
there to connect with the Knoxville and
Charleston railroad, and with the North
Carolina extension leading to Asheville.
We gather from the rcpoits of these gen
tlemen that the meeting was, in every sense
of the word, a success. The attendance
was very large, and of the very best citi
zens of the good old North Staj”. General
Vance of Asheville, member of Congress ;
Colonel Robertson, Speaker of the North
Carolina House of R presentatives; Dr.
Lovb of Franklin; and Professor Smith, a
distinguished geologist, were among the
speakers.
Colonel McAdoo represented the Knox
ville railroad, and he assured the meeting
that bis road was ready, able, and anxious
to connect wi’h ours <>r any other road
leading into Gemgia or South Carolina,
and would put their road under contract as
soon as there was a reasonable probability
of our meeting them. The. road from
Asheville has already been graded into
Hay wood county.
The barbecue, as reported, was the very |
best ; all that was good, in the greatest
abundance and well cooked, and everything
done in perfect order. There was not one i
person in the town or at the meeting ex
cited with whisky, and not one drop seen.
And, best of all, they subscribed lilxTally.
j They will organize under their charter, to
connect with the Marietta and North Geor
gia road, and it will require $30,000 to or
ganize. That amount they will easily
raise.
A committee of ton was appointed to
attend our meeting on the 15’h. Another
important feature was the Indians from the
Eastern band of Cherokees, st 11 remaining
in Noith Carolina. A delegation from this
ban ! will also attend our meeting, and will
attract more attention than even Guv. rnor ;
Smith, or Colonel Hardeman, or General j
Colquitt. We will welcome them to Cher
okee county, the former home of their
fathers.
Judge Hammett showed us rare and
beautiful specimens of mineral and marble ■
of the finest qu.il.tv anil of every shade. '
We only r gret our inability to attend
the meeting at Murphy. Our friends from
Marietta are enthusiastic in praise ot the
country and people.

A G rar ger’s Speech.
Fellow Grangers: 1 am happy to
meet you on this occasion, and hope you
are happy to meet inc I (Applause.) 'While
I am not a farmer myself, not having time
from other pursuits to devote to agricul
ture, yet I am in perfect sympathy with
the toiling masses. (Tremendous applause.)
My grandfather was a farmer, and many of
my relatives are entirely dependent upon
the productions of the earth lor commis
sary supplies. (Loud cheers.) I rejoice in
the Grange movement, and shall hail with
inexpressible emotions of joy the day when
the farmer shall be allowed to take a posi
tion with oilier’men of honor, refinement
and true gentility. (Enthusiastic applause.)
Fellow farmers I 1 have often thought, of
late, that my father committed a great mis
take in educating me for the higher walks
of life; for the natural bent of my inclina
tion is toward the farmer and his honest
calling. (Rounds of applause.) I love to
feel the corns in the farmer’s honest band,
and to see plenty of the same article in his
crib. (Cheers and laughter) I love to hear
the bleating of his mules, the lowing of his
horses, and the loud neighing of his sheep
and cattle, as they browse in happy con
tentment among his growing grain, and
nip the fragrant, flowers that sip thc-morn
ingdew and drink the zephyrs at eventide
in the orchard, Ihe vineyard and meadow.
(Long-continued cheers) These things re
mind me of the happy days of my child
hood, and carry me back on fancy’s golden
wings to my grandfather’s home in the
valley, where I used to spend a right smart
of my time when my father and mother
were cross at home, and I yearned for hu
man sympathy. (Bursts of applause.)
I delight to behold the purple potatoes as
they hang in luscious and tempting clus
ters on the vine, and to pluck the mellow’
turnip from the stately tree. (Cries of Hear!
hear I) I love the waving rye and peach,
and delight to drink in copious draughts
the exhilarating fluids which they contain,,
and also the juice of the apple! (Cries of
Good! good !)
Fellow-grangers ! I feel the grandeur of
my exalted theme, and the picture that
looms up before me is one of transcendant
beauty, splendor, and glory I I see in the
coming future the grand realization of the
farmer’s hopes which have beer, long de
terred. I see monopolies, principalities and
powers humbling themselves at the farmer’s
feet. I see him directing and controlling
the thundering locomotive with his magic
wand, and directing the forked lightning as
it conveys, from time to time, the glad news
of the advance in corn, bacon, flour, and
potatoes. I sec him in the presidential
chair, anil everywhere. I see him crush
ing his enemies, cleaving to his friends, and
placing in office those only who delight in
agricultural pursuits, and who will defend
' his rights while grass runs and whisky
grows! (Uproarous and long-continued
applause.) i ,
Georgia Editors, as a general thing,
know’ about as little about the present crop
pi">spcct as a hotr does about Sunday, if we
are to judge by the way they boast of the
“flattering prospects for a splendid harvest. ’
Georgia like nine tenths of the.other col ton
growing States, wi I do well if she makes
half a crop this year, and all the “blowing"
that the newspapi rs of the country can do
will not effect the result at harvest time.
The ’Ranters of this and every other section
of the State that we have visited recently
will be satisfied with half a crop, although
the Department of Agriculture at Washing
ton and some of the “leading dailies of
Georgia say that the|prospects for an abun
dant harvest were never better.”—Quitman
Reporter.
