tHURSDAY, OCTOBER 7. 18G9,
.Letter to Mr l'cahody
We have noticed in several of our
exchanges "A Better from the Women
of the South to Mr. Peabody'’ the ex
planatory remarks acoouipanyingv.hieh,
a Her giving the reasons which prompt
ed its produetiuu, asks that every paper
in the South will publish the lette •, and
every editor will use his influence in
obtsiidng to it, the signatures of South
ern irometi, until the, number shall have
r inched Ten Thousand. With all due
deference to the fair nuthoreses, we
must decline a compliance with the
above request. Sot that we are unwil
ling to do all in our power to relieve
the dutressiug embarrassments under
which a very large portion of our South
ern women now labor; but tliat we are
opposed to this particular mode of re
lief, why ? Because, in the first place
it is humiliating to the Southern people;
Secondly, because it represents our
Southern women as objects of charity,
which we deny: and lastly, it is a direct
charge against the energy, industry, en
terprise, self-reliance pndj'patriutism of
Southern men. We might, also, with
the greatest propriety, urge among our
objections, that such a request made of
this world-renowned philanthropist,
coming from such a source, will cause
the women of the South to be charged
with a want of delicacy, to which they
arc not amenable. That the establish
ment of such an institution us is recom
mended in this letter would be produc
tive of great good, and would be noth
ing more than an act of justice to the
noble women of our Stato, no one will
deny; but it should be established by
our State Legislature, and all our peo
ple made contributors to it.
Our Southern women are not suffer
ing so much from the absence *of all
sources of employment, as from a feel
ing of false pride, and from the preva
lence of false ideas in our community.
A Southern woman may teach school,
or make shirts, without losing caste in
the community in which she was born
and raised; or she might, as is suggest
ed in the letter to Mr. Peabody, exe
cute wood carving, or window shade
painting, hut if she entered a dry goods
or cigar store, or a confectionery as a
sales-womun, or a printing office as a
printer, she would feel that she had de
graded herself, and unless she was a
woman of a unusually strong mind, she
would soon be made to feel the cutting
sarcasm of some of her mere fortunate,
but weaker sisters who are not ftitellcc
tually overburdened, while they suffer
from the disease called “ Cacoethes Lo
quendi ’’ One of our greatest troubles,
now in the South, is the great disposi
tion among both men and women to
live beyond their means; they were
once blessed with fortune, but the late
war having swept away their substance
they have not yet learned to cut their
garments according to their cloth and
be satisfied with the fit. We have ex
tended this article to a greater length
than we iutended, and will close it by
recommending onr Georgia women, in
stead of asking charity oi Mr. Peabo
dy, to demand justice of our State Leg
laturc.
Our President.
History informs us, that Nero fiddled
while Home was burning. We regiet
that truth will require the
future historian to record the fact,
that a President of this once great Re
public, * while nearly one-third of the
States were excluded from the Union,
and subjected to a despotism greater
than ever was exercised over the unfor
tunate and down-trodden Poles; while
the Constitution, framed by our
fathers, was being trampled under foot
by an unconstitutional body, styling
themselves the Congress of the United
States; while the people of the United
States, the bondholders and manufuc
turers excepted, were groaning under a
taxation more onerous than was ever
borne by any nation on earth; instead
of devoting bis time and talents to the
affairs of government, was frolicing on
the beacli or in the ball-rooms of Long
Branch, driving fast horses, smoking
dead-head cigars, drinking whisky and
grieving over the death of a recently
deceased mare. As an inducement to
call him back to the Capitol, that be
might at least sjake some appearance of ,
attending to State affairs, a billiard
room hi fitted up for his amusement in
the Presidential mansion. These facts
are humiliating to the whole American
people, and the blush of shame is often
seen to mantle the cheeks of honest
men who voted for him. Yet he ais fit
representative of the unprincipled
clique which surround him. as well as
the leaders of the party which elected
him. If the light and frivolous con
duct of Nero deserved and received the
execration of posterity, what other fate
can await the present occupant of the
Chair once so well and so nobly filled by
i ic Father of our country, the immor

tion and disgrace, anil intercede in be

Tlic Iteuioval of Mercer
UNIVERSITY.
“The Columbus Baptist Association,
representing thirty Churches, met m
Harris county, at Rethesda, on Satur
day. Kev. C. C. Willis was .Moderator.
82,000 were collected, including 81.
200 for Mercer College. This Asso
ciation recommended the removal of
Mercer College to a more accessible lo
cality."— ('otnmbui Sun.
The above paragraph, copied by the
Atlanta Constitution from the Colum
bus Sun, has taken us by surprise. It
however, convinces us that while the
friends of removal have been active in
disseminating their views among their
Baptist brethren at a distance, that
tlieir opponents have indugod in a false
security, relying on the justice of tlieir
cause. We hope that the action of the
Columbus Association will open the
eyes of our Penfield friends, and arouse
them to action. Whatever may be the
motives of those who seem determined
to effect the removal of the College, it is
certaiii that they iiavc left no stone un
turned to impress their peculiar view
on the Baptists residing at remote
points from the present location of an
Institution whiclFshould be, and is, the
pride of the Baptists of Georgia. These
views we think can be successfully com
batted by the citizens of l’enfield pres
senting the feiets in the case, and de
manding that justice which a strict ob
servance of good faith would certainly
award to them. The inaccessibility of
Penfield is urged as the principal rea
son for the removal of the College,
which with all due deference to the
opinions of others, we deem a strong
argument why it should remain wlwre
it is. The present cite was selected by
men cf wisdom, experience and sound
judgment, that the students might not
bo exposed to the many vices and temp
tations which are always to be found in
our large towns and cities. Penfield is
only a few miles, say six nr seven
from thg Georgia Railroad, which con
nects with the other roads in the State,
and w - e think it far better that the vis
itors to the College should be subjected
to the inconvenience of riding that
short distance in public hacks or pri
vate conveyances, than that the morals
of the students should be endangered
by locating it in some larger town or
city. Suppose the College should be
removed to Marietta, can the learned
President not see.-how easily the stu
dents could take a train passing through
tho town at a lato hour in the after
noon, visit Atlanta, witness a represen
tation of the -‘Black Crook,” or the
“ White Faun,” anti after spending the
night in visiting gambling hells and
other disreputable places, return in time
for College hours, the following morn
ing ? It will not answer to say that
rigid rules and a strict snrveilance on
the part of tho Faculty, would prevent
such occurrences. Boys do not and
cannot think and aet like old and expe
rienced men, and it is the part of wis
dom to prevent them from being ex
posed to temptation. Moreover, the
lots at Don field were sold with a restric
tion which will forever prevent the es
tablishment of drinking saloons, billiard
rooms, and gambling houses within the
limits of the town; not so with Marict-
But if the College must be removed,
why not locate it in Greenesboro’, which,
is free from' the objection of inaccessi
bility. while it offers certainly as many
advantages as Marietta. It is a healthy
place, good water, no local cause for
the creation of sickness; good society,
while tt affords one of the most beauti
ful cites for a College which can he
found in the State. On the top of a
high hill, only a few yards from the
Georgia Railroad, where the College
buildings would be exposed to the full
view, and must necessarily attract the
attention of every Railroad passenger.
The people of Greene would no doubt
contribute liherailv towards the erection
of new buildings, and its location here
would have a strong tendency to satisfy
those who would feel deeply wronged
by its removal from Penficld. Vic hope
that the above views may receive the
consideration of our Baptist friends
(if the subject of removal should be
brought up,) at the meeting of the As
sociation in this place on to morrow, aud
that this vexed question may be decid
ed finally and to the satisfaction of all
reasonable men.
It is rumored that Gen. Jordan
Las offered to surrender to the
Spanish, for a large sum of monev,
but his offer has been rejected.—
Gen. Jordan went into the business
of fighting for the black and white
niggers of Cuba, as a means of sup
port. It does not surprise us to
hear that he lias offered to sell out
his army to the Captain-General of
Cuba.
Mrs. Andrew Johnson, wife of
the ex-Presidcnt, is not exp,. ud to
live through the winter.
The <«ol«I Panic.
The late Gold panic in New York,
should open the eyes of our whole peo
ple to the evils of a depreciated paper
currency, and cause our Southern cot
ton planters to seriously consider the
propriety of demanding gold for the
crop of 1870, and thereby aid in forc
ing our Government to return tc specie
payments. Cotton is King, notwith
standing all that has been said to the
contrary, and the only reason why it
does not sway the sceptre, and rule the
commerce of the world, is the want of
unanimity of action, and the cowardice
of its producers - If our planters should
annouuco their determination, next
spring, to demand coin for the next
crop, millions of the precious metals
would be shipped from Europe to the
Southern States to be ready for the first
receipts of the kingly staple. A de
preciated, paper currency, unsettles val
ues, increases the cost of living, and
falls with peculiar hardness on the poor
and laboring classes. During a suspen
sion of specie payments, the wages of
the laborer never advances so as to keep
pace with the cost of the necessaries of
life. The people of the South have
worn the shackles of New England long
enough; we tried to throw them off and
win our independence on the battle
field, and failed; let us essay one effort
more in the eotton field. Here we ean
not be overcome by I lie superior numbers
of the North; we will have an open field
and a fair tight with all the advantages
on nur side- We will l#ur no more of
gold panics on Wall street, and when
the poor laboring man receives his hard
earned dollar, he can obtain for it one
hundred cents worth of necessaries. A
depreciated National currency has a ten
dency to demoralize the masses and ev
ery one feels that as lie is being cheat
ed and wronged by his owu Govern
! merit, that it is fair and just for him to
retaliate by making all lie can out of
that Government,'without being over
scrupulous as to the means. We have
strong hopes that the late panic in New
York will be productive of good results
i to the whole country.
A SLANDER
The following slip we cut from
the American Lnion of the lstinst.
We denounce the statement so far
as Greene County is concerned to
be false in loto. We challenge the
mention of one single instance in
our county where a negro has been
killed, whipped, or
byrl [•flanTer “to get 1 rid ol paying
tibem for ti icir fitbor. 1
“Columbia and Greene counties ;
are in a state of turmoil and strife.
The white planters are killing,
whipping and running off their
hands, now that the crops arc made,
to get rid of paying them for their
labor. Os course the civil authori
ties regard the whole matter as a
little “fun for the hoys.” No move
whatever is made by them to arrest
the wholesale onslaught.”
Advice
Me reeieved, among our exchan
ges. a few days since a copy of
“The Dioncer Advertiser and South
ern Ileal Estate Bulletin” publish
ed at “lloundbrook New Jersey,
the editor of which professes to be
posted as to the wants and resources
of the South, and informs his read
ers that Georgia wants One Hun
dred Thousand emigrants to devel
ope her almost boundless sources of
wealth. We hope our New Jersey
brother will pardon us for advising
him to inform himself mere thor- ]
oughly before attempting to—post
others. Aly dear fellow, Georgia
can furnish good homes and profita
ble employment to One Million of
j emigrants ami then her citizens [
I would feel mortified to see so main
! vacant lands, and so many mines of
i wealth waiting to be developed.—

PANY HEAVY BUSINESS.
We are glad to hear of the rapid
| ly increasing business of the South-;
| ern Life Insurance Company, as it j
j evidences the fact that Southern
: people are regaining confidence in \
themselves. We learn from author- j
ity that ono hundred and twentv
seven applications for policies have
, been received at the Atlanta office ;
itlone, within the last three days,
covering risks for nearly a half mil- I
lion dollars.
The above slio is from the Atlan
ta Constitution of the 2d inst. It
: shows that notwithstanding the
j prejudices of other Companies, it is
i doing an unusual amount of business,
! also that the Southern people are
i beginning to realize the absolute
importance of supporting Southern \
institutions. Dr. Massey Special
Agent for the Company, will visit ;
this community during the present
month. Those wishing to insure i
will do well to see him and secure
a policy.

l>istiiig‘Tiislic<l Arrivals!.
Wei are happy, indeed we are very
happy , to be able to state to our patron*,
as well as to tho public at large, tin t
the small squad of Federal soldiers who
arrived among us some ten days since,
are bo much pleased at their reception
by onr people, as well as the quiet and
good order in our community, that they
have Iften reinforced, and their number
now consists of some 21) men, who
have pitched their camp within onr city
limits, and are making themselves per
fectly at home. It is also a source of
gratification to us to say, that so far,
they have conducted themselves in a
manner highly creditable to both officers
and men, and should they coutinue in
their present course, it will surely have
a tendency to east the veil of oblivion
over the past, and elevate the Yankee
character in the good opinion of our
citizens.
While on this subject, it would cer
tainly be unbecoming for us to fail in
mentioning the return to our city, of
that distinguished personage, Professor
Gladden, Principal of the University of
Canaan. The Professor, who departed
henec between two fights,” a few days
previous to the arrival of the military,
is said to have been apprehensive of a
friendly visit from the Ku-Ktuje; he,
however, returns apparently in good
health and spirits, and looks as if he on
ly awaited a suitable opportunity to say
to the Ku-Klux, in the language of
Macbeth :
“Lay on McDuff! and damned be he
Who first cries bold ! enough !”
From our personal knowledge of the
sentiments of our community, we feel
justified in saying to the Professor, that
if he wik_enntiiie himself st rictly to the
discharge of bis legitimate duties, as a
teacher of Af’ric’s sons and daughters,
and leave love-making alone until the
fair maidens shall haye graduated and
received their diplomas, that he need
have no apprehensions of harm. But
if he should fail to learn wisdom from
tho past, our community must not be
held responsible if some father, among
his colored patrons, should execute sum
mary punishment on him. by way of
avenging his daughters’ wrong. I7u - -

A good suggestion was made by
Gen John C. Breckinridge, one day
last week, in the Scott County
Court. During the call for motions
the name of “General” Breckin
ridge was called, when that gentle
man said he had no motion to make,
but would offer a suggestion which
he would be glad to see'adopted.—
It w - as this : That at the bar all
military titles should be dropped—
that in place of General, Colonel,
Major, or Captain, as the case might
he, the simple word “Mr.” should
be nsed. Judge Thomas announ
ced himself as highly pleased with
the suggestion, and expressed his
intention to adopt it in future.

marked .-—“Elder, I don’t want ter
