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.

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 ed. _ Kkdi'ctiox of Vila Hknath. — A cull appears in | tli Griffin Mia.)

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.

Avalakch on tub H. W.

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.
