Tlu* “Opposition” tiiid Free Negroes
The great leader of the “opposition” party in
\ irginiu, Mr. Butts, oracle a speech on the same I
i stand with Mr. Goggin, the opposition eamliilate
for Governor, u few days sinoo, in Richmond,
which elicited great applause. He said, ir it were
legal, ho would take the votes of “free negroes” I
iu opposition to the democracy. According to
ihe Richmond Who/, which we presume emlors
iL and the sentiment, ho said he would even go fur-
I ther and “receive the votes of “molungeon*,”
! which Gov. Win thought tt little worse thuu free
| negroes!”
To what an extent will the “opposition” party
j go? There is scarcely u shade’s difference ho
j ttreou Mr. Bolts’ position and that of the Kepub
j licHDs. The Republican* advocate negro suffrage :
, Mr. Hotts approves of It in the abstract, and will
take their votes. The Southern people oppose I
negro suffrage from a sense of justice and */torn/
right Mr. llotts’ opposition party, because it is
I dhyal, and perhaps,uuconstitutionnl. The one rc
| tmrds it asa grewt ino/ai wrung; the other only
1 to the extent, that tho line uiukc* it. The Repub
i licans would remove the Constitutional harrier and
j make negroes our equnls; the “opjmsition” party
: would ra. ognizo them as equals after the pro-
I bibit ion vraa removed.
\N c despise the assdeiation as boon conipan
•°ns; the “oppositioii” would find it ugrueahlc,
if the law was not iu tlicw ny.
■ Who would unite with n party with such prin
ciples tor the mere sake of opposition ? T rue
i Southern men have too much aelf-reapect ty com
mit theuMk'ivf s to such sentiments for it temporary’
jiarty triumph. The disgrace which attends ilc
trail—the wound inflicted upon our institutions,is
J of paramount import to the success of a day. The
| real patriot is unmoved by such corrupt million
cc.s and rises above it, as Mount Atlas the stonus
| and tempests that thumtor at its brow.
An Opposition Party.
j “We have such a contemptible opinion of the

Lol Joseph Utmd'a heath, Partlcalars.
In our yesterday’s paper, we noticed the Iragie
result of the encounter between Col. Joseph Bond,
i of Macon, and Lucius Brown, of Dougherty conn
-1 ty. Since making that announcement we have
; learned the following particulars from a gentle
! man who bn* visited the scene of the homicide
j since its occurrence. It appears that Mr. Brown
iva? employed by Col. Bond as mu overs)er upon
’ one of his plfwitatious in Dougherty county during
1 the year Is'.S, nndwa* ‘liseharged from liis ser
vice by the latter on account of objectionable and
i improper conduct. The eirciunstance* under
1 which his discharge was considered nccossarv,
, were thought, by t’ol. Bond, sufficient to justify
! las refusal to Mr. Brown to v iait his plantation,
jt to have anything to do with his negroes. A
! day or two before the fatal meeting, ahoy hoiong
; ing to Col. Bond stopped at the blai-ksmith shop
Inf Mr. Jerry Bonll to get u drink of water. While
there Mr. Brown, who was the overseer for this
; year for Mr. Beall, came up and made an attack
; upon the negro. The* boy, after receiving a severe
whipping, and after makiug one or more ineffcc
’ fuel efforts.to get away, finally succeeded in ob
taining protect ion from Mrs, Bonll. Brown desist
ed from bis castjgHtion of the negro and the latter
went home to bis master, and made complaint of
1 the above treatment.
On the morning of the 12th lost., Col. Bond
1 rod* over t* Mr. Bealls', a plantation adjoining
i his own, to inquire into the matter. Ho entered
the field in which he was Informed that Mr Baal!
was, but before seeing him ho was mot by Mr.
j Brown, wh<> wuh also ou horseback. A eoitvur
’ nation in relation to the difficulty with the negro
1 ensued. This, naturally enough, led to insulting
l language which o*d. Bond resented with se>eral
r blows from a cam; bo held in his band, iu a mo
ment both partieo were upon the ground grap
pling with each other. During the conflict Mr.
Brown drew a pistol, and presenting it to the
breast of Col. Bond, fired—the ball taking effect
in the lower part of the right breast, passing
through the body und out ftt the blade of the left
shoulder. Col. Bond, laiuluig under the effect of
tue wound, staggered back agaiust u fenee find,
drawing a revolver, fired two random shots at his
antagonist. The hitter fled without receiving fur
ther damage than the wounds inflicted by the
fuuc. He was puraued, arrested und, at the date
of onr latevt information, was in the ruatody of the
proper officers, awaiting a trial for commitment.
Col. Boud lived but a very few miuutes after re
ceiving the pistol-shot wound.
•Such is a brief statement of the fads a*
detailed to us iu Macou on the night that the
lifolcs* remains of Col. Bond reached that city.—
The melancholy event shrouded the entire popula
tion, in gloom uud sent through every heart the
pang ol sympathizing sorrow tor hi* otricken aud
desolated household. Col. Bond was it man of
large wealth,generous spirit and was distinguish
ed for his liberal chanties aud liue social virtue*,
j He possessed both ample means and will for do
ng good, and difficult it will he to supply hi* plasm
1 in the circle whence be has been so rudely snatch

llon shall a wife make her home pleasant and her
Society AMrartlrr *
The follow ing contribution from a lndv friend
shows an appreciation of those virtues in n wife,
which cannot fail to make home happy: to-wit:
This is a short question, but a full answer would
make a book. Iu the first place, she should never
indulge in fault finding. There should always
be a pleasant word and look for him who returns
from the toils of the day. If a pretty pair of
slippers lie before the fire, ready for his feet, so
much the better. Then, the desire to be pleasing
iu person sdiould never leave a wife for a day.—
Your happiness depend* much on your retaining,
not only the esteem of your husband, but his ad
miration. lie should see no greater neatness and
no more taste in material and fitness, in any wo
man's dress, than in yours : and there is no indi
vidual in the World before whom von should al
ways upixuir with more thorough tidiness of per
son. What is true of your per Sou is also true of
your house. He should see that you really have
a strong desire to make him happy, and to retain
forever the warmest place iu his respect, admira
tion and affoctiou. Sweeten all his troubles with
your sympathy. Make him feel that there is one
ear always open to the revelation ofhis experiences,
one heart that never misconstrues him, one re
fuge for him in all circumstance*; that in all
wearinesses id’ body and soul, there is one warm
pillow for his head, beneath which u heart is
beating with the same unvarying truth and affec
tion, through all gladness ami sadness. A hus
band who has such a wife as this, has little temp
tat ion to spend his time from home. lie may
“meet a man,” but the man will not long detain
him from his wife. He may go to “the puatoffief,”
but will not call upon a friend on the way.

Yesterday we enjoyed the first really eucour-
Hging weather we have had for the past six weeks,
it now seem* ns though thu cloud* have all been
wrung out, folded up ami laid away. Tho atmos
phere is cool and bracing, and entirely free from
moisture. So that if the indications and the
o/ am hoc arc tube believed, we are to have some
dry w earner. There is need enough for it, in all
conscience. If tho planter does not have it soon,
it will boos little practical consequence to him
whether it ever come*, li'sugh freak* are to be
indulged in every year, a reform of the calendar
will bocomoa neco.xHity. Tho general backward
ness in preparation for the present season would
require the year to be advanced ut leant fifteen
days. Indeed, wo doubt whether that length of
I into is sufficient to represent the delay which the
weather ha* forced upon planting operations, it
i* almost an universal tie t that, had the weather
been propitious, planters wouldhavo been retard
v'l in ilictr prqmi‘ii.|ion |',iV itimilwr *ijj mivi-mt
weeks beyond the customary period. This oc
curred by reason f the large crop of last year.
Notwithstanding tint favorable tall weather for
gathering, large number* of them were picking
cotton after tho first of January. In South-
Western Georgia, we know that many were eu
gaged at this agreeable pastime, throughout that
entire month. Since the first of February, there
have not been more than fifteen day* in which
plowing thou id have been done iu ordinarily, dry
soil a much less number in which it would have
bt*en eviui possible in bottom or wet land*, in
this section very few have planted corn, while the
process of bedding cotton land has just- been be
gun. The effect which this general retardation
may have upon those two products cannot
be anticipated. It may turn out that it was a for
tunate forerunner of tho seasons which are to fol
low, but it is very certain that tho period of
planting ciuiin t much longer be postponed with
out damaging results to the coming crops. Let
the planter, then, who is prepared, plant, bis corn
at once. The weather is favorable, mid the con
dition of natural vegitation indicates that tlieeartli
is ready for tin* trust. Let the proper prepara
tion, however, precede till* operation, it can do
no good to place the seed in the ground until thu
latter is well pulverized, and it may do harm by
postponing that necessary process till the plant is
too large or ihe soil too hard and compact to al
low it. For the last time we reiuira to our advice to
the planter to be certain to devote a plenty ot his
land to raising corn. We pledge him our hat
that twelve mouths hence he will acknowledge the
propriety ©four advice. We have heard several
speuk of the inrreused area of cotton laud they
will have this year; not one has spoken to u*
übout increasing hi* production of earn. The
cotton planter pitches hi* crop for just enough
corn for his use, calculating upon propitious sea
sons, pool mules and no hogs; the rest is surren
dered t o tho staple. This may lie the way to grow
rich, but we don’t believe it.

Mr. Toonihs on (hr IhTraf of the Font Office Appro
priation bill.
The Washington correspondent of the I’ldla
dclphia Xorth American writes:
“The mail contracts of Georgia are soon to be
fit, aud it is said the Department will fool con
strained to turn the retrenching screw in that di
rection, that Mr. Toombs’ constituent* may re
ceive the lull benefit ofhis defeat of the Dost Office
bill.”
This is not tho first intimation of a purpose in
certain quarters to hold Mr. Toombs responsible
for tiio miscarriage of die Boat Oflbm Appropria
tion bill. We are reluctant to suspect tho Presi
dent of any such injustice.
W but are tho facts of the case? Tho House of
Representatives postponed action on tho Appro
priaiion bills to so late a period ol the session,
that time was wanting for the adjustment ol the
dispute which originated in a ,Semite amendment
to ihe Host Office Act. Tho dispute was this:
had the Senate authority to alter a revenue hill by
an amendment providing for an iucrouaeof post
age? At tlm instigation of a Black Republican
leader, a majority of ilia House—tho Democ rat*
voting oy- returned a uogaUvo response. Ac
cordiugly, tho bill with the Befiate amendment
was rejected, and in its Rtead the 11 >u*e sent hack
anew bill, under reruni*iuueo implying a per
emptory demand for Its passage luuansod st (ho
Indignity and tenacious of its right-, the Benato
refused to acquiesce In t he arrangement which in
volved a surrender of Ita constitutional privilege*.
To this effect spoke Messrs. Bayard, Benjamin,
Merer, and Toombf. The remark* of Senator
Toombs, Instead of being prolonged with a viow
to the “consumption of time,” ai represented by a
•ourriloui and mondaciua* het in thii city, in
I.ict occupied only a few moment* in the deliv
ery .
For owrselvo*. we applaud the spirit which Mr.
Toombs exhibited on the occasion, it is part of
the Black Republican programme to destroy the
efficiency of the Semite, which, w ith the Supreme
Court, is the chief bulwark oftho Constitution.—
By bis energetic resistance to the revolutionary
enterprise, Mr. Toombs has added another signal

That Whip!
A Whip, such a* drivers in this region do not
use for cattle, was found by Mr. Bunco of the

bottom nf a molasses hogshead. It is u suvuge
looking instrument; the stock i* a clumsy stick

thick a’ the butt, and hull - an inch at the smallest
end Above the luitt it is very strongly plaited
over and secured to the stock. When this anii
uMh agent of civilization was lost in the sweet
ness ol darkness, it is supposed that the sourness
of darkness may have exhibited a grim smilo.—
The wtiip may bo seen at the store of Messrs.
Dodge A Holder, North street, aud i* a curiosity
worth looking ut. — Foyle.
Wo navy conversed with several gentlemen of
this place who havo resided In the Southern States
—one of them during almost the entire 21 years
past,- and find that our neighbors of the Eagle,
from which the above elegant extract i* taken,
havo been involved in the darknenn of ignorance,
it not in the “sweetness of darkness.”
Unfortunately for the purposes of the Engle,
whether political or otherwise, in its attempt* to
prejudice and array one portion of our common
Union against Hnother, by ignorant and unjust
misrepresentations, in connection with the “pecu
-lin institution” which our Southern friend* uni
versally (and many of the candid and reasonable
at the North,) consider at leant a newtnary evil,
und sanctioned by the law* of Christianity, cli
mate and locality, THAT WIMP, although not in
tended tor Northern “cattle,” u-an intended for

stalk, hardened somewhat by its impregnation in
the “sweetness of darkness,” constituting, with
ilr lash, the ordinary Whip utrd 6 y the neyroet
thctiuo /riH in driving th< ir nuih U nmn !
With this view the “instrument” becomes much
less “.-aviige looking,” and the gentlemen al
luded to state thut they have not only never
known such “savage looking “instruments” to
be used in the punishment, of persons, but have
never known slave* to bo punished in any way,
except for stealing or some alienee for which a
pan nt would punish hi* own child, or a teacher
lii* pupil. And this is the almost universal testi
mony <>f Northern men who have traveled and
resided ut the South. It i plainly for tho inttrmtC
of the muster to treat good m rvnntt v eil, utld not
to diminish their value by abuse—to say nothing
pf the dictate* of humanity, which must be ac
knowledged to prevail in Hmithcrn os well us
Northern breasts. It is true that there may be,
and doubtless are, exceptional oases of cruel treat
ment by bud and unprincipled owners. It i* also
true that lust week, in New York Uity, a hus
band boat hi* wife with a shovel until she died;
and the former. should no more be classed ns u
feature ol’ Southern society than the latter of Nor
them.
This constant array of the North against the
South, for political putponct only, cutiliot be sut
ficiently depivciited. Is it right, and what good
will be accomplished, to educate the children of
the North in unjust and ignorant prejudice against
our Southern friends? Will all this liberate tho
slave? And if liberated, will hi* own condition,
or that of his master, or of the citizen* of the free
Blates overrun .with the ignorant mid vnvantroUtd
“sourness of darknes**,” be ameliorated ? Cer

Ouuo gracefully it grew.

Oft hast thy mother's gaze
Rested in joy on her darling boy,
In bappy by-gone days.
Bow’d i* my heart with grief intense,
Oh death ‘ti* all did’st spare,
To this heart bereft alone thou’at left
This treasured lock of hair.
Aye, this is ail that earth hast left
Os thee my son ! my son!

Could'st form, but God'* own bund.
This lovely jock my own child's hair,
His hand so oft arranged,
In glossy wav© o'er that forehead bravo *
But now ala* ! bow changed.
Changed! did’st I say aye, ehauged indeed,
Those locks are now of gold,
All shining bright, with seraphic light
in celestial joy* untold.
I mourn him not as without hope.
But cheriid) his lock of hair,
Bo fondly fraught with gem* of thought,
Till in heaven I join him there.

M.Hir*. A. A. (J mi l din if and Cos:
(i kxtlkmkm :—By your last “Weekly Intelli
gencer,” which I have just received, in a diacus
aiun between your paper and Uto “Southern Con
federacy,'” in* to the probable notion of “the ap
proaching Gubernatorial Convention,” and which
mi in said “threatens to be one of unprecedented
iicrimony in the annala of the State,” 1 observe
my name among others, mentioned in connection
with tbu Executive chair. I address you simply
and respectfully to request that in all future con
troversy which may occur on this subject, my
‘hoes* lull be omitted. M 1 have no aspirations
for that position, and certainly no desire to dis
turb an Administration, which so far at least as the
public prints indicate, seems to afford such gener
al satisfaction. Os Savannah, to which allusion
is also, in the same connection, made, I may sny,
that that city will, so far as I am advised, present
no opposition to the re-nomination of Governor
Browu.
Very respectfully, yours, fco.,
