This will boa great convenience to ail, and , especially to our business men. nditciiiioMitl fariiilii sos Dawson. One of tho best recommendations we can givo our pleasant little city, is that we have ns good school advantages as can He found in the State. The three schools, though well patronised, have mom for more stu dents, and we have no doubt, but that in n short time, they will each become more generally known to the public, by adver tising in the 11 Journal. ” Legislative Proceeding*.

Sme four or five negroes were killed, anl ono citizen is said to have lost, a leg. Cause : the unbearable oppression of the troops. Full particulars next week. Salutatory. At the earnest solicitation of a large number of tho citizens of Dawson and Terrell county, wo have commenced t’ e publication of tho “Dawson Journal ” Having been connected with the publish ing business from our boyh ml, wo wore fully apprized of tho difficulties we would have to encounter. But the great anxiety of the citizens of Dawson, the growing im portance of the city, and the general go a-h al-ativencss of the surrounding coun try, induced us to co; sent to slum der the eilliculties and commence tho work. AVe do this with a determination to make a paper which shall fully come up to tho expectations, and meet thewantsof the enterprising citizens, not only of D.wson, but.of this rich South-western country. As to the Typographic,al appearance of the “ Journal,” it shall be st cod to no weekly in Georgia. Its columns shall be filled with matter useful and iuter sling to all classes. As to politics, we have n ne. What ever we believe to be for the best interest of our people w@ shall advocate. We feel that this is no time for party divisions, but rather that all Southern men should labor together, shoulder to shoulder, to build up our country, reprir our waste! fortunes, nnd bring peace an! prosp ity to our homes again. In our columns we shall advocate no truculent fawning policy, towards the North. The w..r has ended, and we were defeated. We are willing to submit to ail that is just and honorable, but as lor us, if more Than this is required, it will not bo by our consent that it is obtained. "While we shall take special pains to ele vate the moral and religious sentiment of the commun.ty iu which we live, we 'small eschew all that savors of sectarianism. Ia a word we intend publishing a paper which shall bo welcomed to the family eir cle, useful to the farmer and indispensible to merchants and business meu. Oar Growing Town.

Its beatiliful locution and its superior :'callhl'uhless have and is yet causing good citizens to muko it their future home. Wo were agreeably surprised to find so 'mercantile many houses, and all seeming to he doing a thriving business. II « were the more astonished when we wereiuloitri ed that eight or ten years ago Dawson was in the tenods. Already we have fifteen or sixteen Dry | Goods anil Grocery stoics. Seven new store-honscß in course oi erection. As will he seen by a notice in another column, our Car Factory will bo in operation in a bout ten weeks; this will give a fresh im petus to business ( f all kinds. As an evidence of the faith of tho peo ple in the growth and j rosperity of Daw son, Real Estate is rapidly increasing in Value and is in great demand. Business 1 and building lots are betflg sought after by the far-seeing ones, and the Carpenters and Liunbii'inen are in fine spirits. Ecs«fColton ami more Corn. We copy below a very sensible article, from tho Macon Telegraph over the signa ture of -‘Wi e Grass,” urg.ngtho Planters to look to their true interest, by p'antiiy “less cotton and more corn.” Unless Issi.- is done we honestly believe that wi 1 be suffering, if not starvation thn/ghout the whole South before twelve mjhlhs. - Wo beg the Planters everywhere, lp plant an abundance of corn. Let them n&l, with tho hope of enriching thcm-mlves Ira. one year, by planting cotton, place themselves mil their country, in a condition of entire dependency upon others. The writer says : “It is a fact known to every body that there is a deficiency of breads!nils now in the country, and yet nearly the w hole of the available labor last year was employed in producing grain crops. The available plantation labor is greatly diminished during the present year, by three different causes, first by removal of negroes, secondly, by the withdrawal of a number of women, who will bo en gaged «*n carding, spinning an 1 tho voca tions'that will not increase the amount of provisions; nnd thirdly by tho alterati n in the system of labor. All of these cau ses combined will certainly very materially effect the amount of productions. In my opinion it will reduce the present crop at least one fifth below the amour t produced last year. Tide reduction will, in the sup ply produced, very materially affect the price of this cla s < f products, injuriously to the interests of the planter who has them to buy. And yet a grant many plan ters who have the reputation of being very intelligent and successful business men, propose to plant nearly the whole of their farms in cotton. The result of this would he to deprive the communities in which they live of the means of carrying on the farms another year—rendering their capita’s or investments entirely valueless or unproductive for the Future. You could not rent to advai tag', because provisions could only be obtained at tho expense of trnnsportat on added to actual costs If you offered the place for sale, this condi tion of things would not only lesson the eh net-s of sale, but no purchaser would pay as much for it as he would if the com plete outfit of nee ssaries for carrying on the farm were at hand. Again, suppose one-fourth of the large planters of the community pursue this policy, planting neatly the whole of their lards in cotton, with the view of selling out next fall, there will be art much land thrown upon the market that it could not he sold for more than half its real value, and tho difficulties thrown around the purchaser who wished to carry en his farm would involve so great an additional expanse, that few woull be will ngto enlist in it. Again, this increase in the value of provisions would compel the laborer 'o advance in the price of his wages, which would constitute another ob stacle in .the farmer's way. The country would not supply the necessary provisions and laborers would se k those places that are abundantly supplied with them: by this means, tho cotton growing section would be deprived of labor. Would you answer me that you can im port provisions ? Tes ! I know that you can. You can go to the Western States with your empty corn sacks and get them filled. Can you go to men who havb tram pled you under sot to buy your bread : To tho men whose intent it was to have you subjugated, in order that you might still be forced to buy their tlocr, bread, ba con and corn; their Paging, and mules. Will you continue this course and still be subjugated! and remain the slaves of slaves ? Or are you and etermined to be a free and independent, self reliant people, producing your own necessary supplies ? Tliink of it before you plant. And if you are still determined to be poor and depend ent upon these men to produce your h rea d, plant cotton, but remember that your king is dethroned. A United States revenue officer in Spring- Sold, Mass., has received the following ‘n >at,’ which seems rather a loud one: “To Mr. Adams, i have bin sellin chesnuts by kwait to sum o f naburs%n boys says i shall be pros efeutld if i dont hav a lisens cr git my cLes uuts stamped onto. liow much hav i got to pay for sellin a few chesnuts.” Tj tlio Bti'iuew Men of Dawson. We shall expect every business man in Dawsoipto a lverti<e liber idly through tho columns of tl o “ Jo # nl,” not simply to eastnii. the paper, but 1 n -nnse it is a real benefit to them. The time Ims past when men should say it does no good to adver tize. Such talk might have done for the picayune establishments of tire past century. Real business men now would as soon do without Rail Roads, Steamboats, and Tel egraphs, as I’i inter’s Ink. See that mer chant who takes the most pains to call tho attention of customers to tho various ar ticles of merchandize on his shelves, and tell us if he does not sell the heaviest bills of goods. Ho with the man who adver tizes; customers are multiplied and many articles that would lie over from season to season, will go off readily. Again, advertising gives tone to n com munity. It shows a spirit of enterprise and life which wii! attract the attention-of people at a distance. In tins way a town is built up anil the advertiser reaps his re ward. Who would refuse to invest 25 or 50, or 100, or more in advertising, when the experience of every successful busi ness man declares this to be the sunn road to wealth ! Let the Dry Goods houses—the Groce ry store—tho Druggist—The Jewellry es tablishments —the Auction houses—the Commission Merchants— the Ware-House men—the Livery keepers—the Machinists —the Mechanics and every body eke, send in their a:!#i tisements. Dawson Mannfactnriiis Comp’ny. A meeting of the Stock holders of the “ Dawson Manufacturing Company” was he’d last Saturday, and we learn the a rnouol subscribed-was $12,700 00. The Company propose closing tho books, for the present, when $50,000 is obtained.— Those wishing to invest money in a safe and profitable business, would make it to their interest to apply early for this stock, or the opportunity may be lost, and when, hereafter, Ifroy may desire to muko such an investment, they will find the stock at a premium. This is sure to be the case, and we would want no better gaurantee for the success of the enterprise than to know the character of the enterprizing gentlemen who are to manage it. A member of the Company will start very soon for the North, to obtain machine ry and material. The buildings are com pleted, and it is expected that in ten weeks .the Car Factory iu Dawson will be in full ’operation. Communicated. To the Public. In every community, a well conducted new. paper is a desideratum. It is a foun ti a which sends forth refreshing s'reams to irrigato and fructify the social garden Potent with aft energy that stimulates in dustry—encourages enterprise, and vitalizes the faculties of mind and body, it wields a beneficial and salutary influence upon all c’asses anl condfricmApf people. Especially docs the Interest of this section ~f S uth western Georgia, demand the es tablishment of a newspnp -r. Here is a 1 irge area of country, abounding in the resources 0 f matcri-d wenit I', 1 ', ri: h in the elements of prosperity, and inhabited by a p'pulation in whose character, thrift and enterprise, are prominent traits. It is important that mor al an l intellectual piogreso keep pace with the physical dovcb pmTnt. To this end it die ascs necessary to invoke the agency of the people ia the accomplishment of this work l) ily impressed with those views a few of the citizens of Terrell county, acting in con jur.orinn with the Editors of the Dawson Weekly J ur a’, have :.t a considerable out lay of money, established that paper in the town of Dawson. Tho undertaking was prompted by a sin core desire to confer a substantial benefit up on the community, and a confident appeal is made to the people oi the surrounding country for that support and encouragement which the entcprisc so justly merits. L t ovciy ono, that can do so, c iriributc his name to swell the subscription li-t, and ail whi hive oceas oi to advertise, communi cate with tho public through that paper. A CITIZEN. Fred.UuUAimt. \ . t'rn’i. .talnisou A few weeks ago, a colored delegation waited on President Johnson, for the pur pose ol obtaining his views on sc Vend points and particularly with reference to negro enfranchisement. The President received them, heard their views, and re plied to them in a speech,, in which he by no means’, gave them satisfaction. The delegation returned home and addressed a letter to the President, which, to show thei r presumption, we copy below : Mu. President —In consideration of a delicate sense of propriety, as wenr as your inl'niation if an indisposirt*u to discuss or listen to a reply to tho views you were pb a«cd to express to us in your elaborate spe. ch t Jay, the undersigned would respect fully take this method of replying thereto. Believing, as we do, that the views and opin ions expressed in that address are entirely unsound and prejudicial to tho interest of our race, as well as our country, we cannot do otherwise than expose the same, and, as far as may be in our power, correct their dangerous influence. It is not necessary at this time to call at tention to your remarkable address. Hie Cr'-t point to which we feel especialy bound to take exception is to found a policy oppos ed to our enfranchisement, upon thealledged ground of an existing hostility ou tho part of the former slaves toward the poor white people of the South. We admit the exist ence of this hostility, and hold it is entirely reciprocal; yet you obviously commit an er ror by drawing an argument from an incident of the state of slavery, anil maketDg it a basis for a policy adapted to a state oi free dom. II miility between tho whites and blacks of tLo South is easily explained. It • La# its rout and sap in the relation cf slave-' ry, wasi iciled < n both sidis by the slave | masters. Their masters secured thiir as j cendency over both the poor v.hites and! blacks by putting enmity between them.— j They divided both to conquer e ch. There ' was no earthly reison why the b’aiks should not hate and dread the poor whites when in n state of slavery, for it was from this class ' their misters rccived their slave catchers, slave drivers and overseers. They were the men called on upon all occasions by tho masters when any fien-Msh outrage was to be committed upon the slave. Now, sir. you cannot but perceive that the cause of this dread removed, the cause must be remov'd also. Slavery is abolished. The cau-e of the antagonism is removed, ar.d you must sec that it i3 altogether illogica', putting new wine in (Id hauler, mending new garments with ol 1 elnther, to legislate ftoui slavehold ing and slave dr.ving parsons for a people whom you have repeatedly declared your purpose to maintain in freedom. Besides if it were even true, as you alb-g", that, the hostility of the u r gro towards the poor white men must necessarily exist in a s’ale of free dom as in a state of slavery, in the name us heaven wc reverently aslc how can you, in view of your proffered desire to promote the welfare of tho black men, deprive them of all means of defense, and clothe him whom vou regard as hit enemy iu the panojly <.f political power? (jan it he that you would r commend a policy which would arm (he strong and crush the defenseless? C m you I by any possibility or reasoning regard ibis ai justice or wisdom? Experieoeo proves that those are ofteriest abused who can be abused with the greatest, impunity; men are whiped ofteneht who arc whiped n ice b‘tween the rices is n-1 to bo reached by degrading the ono and cxalii ig the other; by civil g power io ono and withholding ii, the other. (Thyho c .lonization theory that you were plea e* to touch, very much couil be said. It is iiipossiblo to suppise, in view of the usefulness of t lie black ini n, in time of peace, as a laS trer, and in time ol War as a Soldier, of the|;rbwing respect fur his rjghts among tho people, aud his inoreas-ng ad»ptation to a higher state of c;t : Z' nship in Eis native land, there can e >m-3 a time when he can be removed from this country without a terrible shock to its peace and prosperity. Besides, the wor.-t enemy of the nati >n cou'd not cast upon its fair name a greater in fumy than t > suppose that i egroes c< til 1 not be tolerate 1 among then otherwise than in a s'atc of most degrading shivery and oppres im, r.r must be cast away and driven into exile, f>r m other cause than having b cu fiC.'d from their chains.

The pr spects of a revolution ia the Rad I dical sentiment of the North and West, is j every day more apparent. As rvid-nce of Western sentiment among tho masses, we copy the following article from the (’inein nari Connmreid, a leading republican paper of Ohio '■ The Commercial ranks 'irn nx the tvblo radical journals of the IVe.-', and it cause may bo taken as a Cir‘:;'.i i-.d.cation of the way the political wind is tending. It, secs the Landwritirg on the wall : A prccli. r ty «f the rn-b-i al gentlemen in Congress is an assumption ih t they arc 'he State; that they ari the loyal pi opie ; that they are the'men of the futur-; that they arc t he ministers of the Nat oil’s justice and the paymasters of the lard’s vengeance. Self confidence is an clement ot success, nad th-se gentlemen !*• lieve in thenwe'v s tb r oujhly. They absorb all civiliz trion, and those who disagree with them are outside barbarian ! They flatter themselves th t there are applauding millions hanging upon their words, and that, the more furious tb v are the greater the apj r diati-m of the un verse, that must echo only with the s nr of their prai-e. They have been cncouirging each oth r io ii lation of parliamentary rules. Wbm a Hid cal has been ou the floor of the House, Lis ranriog baT boon ap plauded hy others on the flour, of his own persuasion sandf and tho galleries of course, fol io* the example of the honorable Utdteals, so that tho boicorns roar of p-pular pas sions has bren hoard drowning the voices of Representatives. The speaker t as mil By and cunplacmtly called atteution to the rules, and hammered his desk with mccuanioal accuracy, in i t ing as was needful, upon the f u’u.s of order, hat looking upon the clamor as merely a li - tie of the sound of the world’s load accln tion , and something in anticiputi nos the the blasts of Fame’s trumpets playing the Grand March of Faust in the far future The debate on the enfranchisement '-f the new ks in the district of Columbia, drew a larire crowd to the galleries, many of them negroes, aud thepa-sige of the hill by the House was receive 1 with a joyous uproar. The sensation correspondents describ'd the “historic scene” —ail scones are historic now-nda3S —in glowing colors, and th rc was another gl w of st tisfaotiou on tho Rad ial physiognomy at this renewed evidence that they, and they only, were the poo b>. But a few days after, Mr. Brooks, of New York, declared that ho pr furred tho women of his own rat e to male negroes, whereupon there was another outburst of “tremendous applause” by the outsiders. Now, this shows that if-one party can have its chicquers in the galleries so can another, and that, if one sentiment is to be applauded so wi.l another be; and it indicates that it is time the Rad icals should observe tho laws g .vetoing ile liberatjvc bodies, and keep their n >i-e to thcmselvts before they convert the balls of Congriss into places ot tumult., such as were witnessed at tbe Club debates in the French Revolution. If it is to bo taken for granted that the noise in the galleries moans anything, there will be cuough of it ou both sides. Gen.

Unde Itcception. Our cotemporary, the “Courier,” devotes a column yesterday to a report of the {1 tas ant adventures of a ptrly of Northern men, from Pennsylvania, seeking to invest capital in land, and who proceeded to John’s Island for this purpose. Here they were captur. and by the negroes, and narrowly (Reaped with their lives The males assailed them with gun, bayonet, blunderbuss and sword, and revolver. Tho women poked and punched them in ribs and abiosnen, with In es and pitchforks and bludgeons ; and so the poor land seekers were hustled and punched from one end of the island to the other, threatened with massacre at every step, and covered wish curses as with a garment. It was in vain that they pieadod *he orders of General Sickles anl other eminent au.horitiix^-in vain they showed official paper in vain ’hoy alleged tlut they were genuine blue bellies, wbo-o gtatid ires came out in the ‘ Mav flower” To all t here ahows, pleas aud ph mli' gs, Hercules Hector, Antonias and Somerset, Jacob and Peter, Hector the Old, and Green and Julius the Young, and Me libouny and Armstrong—ant quo, heroic and patriarchal names—turned a most ob durate ear; and, but for tho more moderate p li ict of Sam Flood, George U b’rts, and Primus Major and and Go .k and Mack, they would have been verily done to death; chopped into inioco-meaf, under the w. ap ms iff these infuriate savages of both genders. Our neighbor speaks if the pro. . ceding in very gingerly phrase win n it calls it a riot simply. Briefly, the whole island is in a state of in' urrei tion, defying law and authori y, and offering armed resistance to the military as to the civil powers, and this is not the first, as it will not be the last, of these s ’.-culled riots. We have heard before cf the riotous frccclmen, of this region es pecially, and see r.o:hing marvelous in t his exhibition, nothing to suiprise any panics uot, sworn to prefer tho lie, which answers a selfish purpose, to the truth vhie’u con demns i f , as vvi. li the voice of God. The voice of experience has h ng since spoken iu the words ot ab-olute prophecy to deaf adders of destructivism who have brought us to the present pass. It is, and will be, iu vain that anything of argument and expos tulation should be said till the terrible end shall be reached. Prophecy is never believ ed until it is realized iu that dread c S [cri cnee which says in its lifcrnr-s, itist.o la'o.
