Cow eta County, March 18th, 1808.
Wc, the undersigned, have to-day witnessed
on the farm of Joseph Amis, Esq., of this
county, the trial of a Cotton Seed Planter,
Darlington's Patent, which we have no hesi-
t:mey in recommending as the very best thing
of the kind that we have seen. The ground
on which it was tried was very rough, yet it
performed the work in as perfect a manner as
could be desired, it opens the lip row, drops
the seed and covers, all in the same operation ;
and can be adjusted in a few seconds of time
so as to sow any desired quantity of guano,
cotton seed, peas or wheat per acre. Where as
iniii'li as thirty or forty acres are to he planted
iu cotton, the amount of seed saved by this
dropper would no doubt pay the cost of the
machine.
We, therefore, take great pleasure in recom
mending it as a money, as well as labor-saving
machine.
ji'f 'Mr. Amis bus the right for this county.

j would get possession of the War Office just as ■

Further on in the conversation the President
expressed disappointment and regret at the
appointment of Thomas, but he thought all
the trouble arose from the fact that Thomas
got “refreshed” over his promotion, and felt
so big at the idea of being above everybody
else in the army, that he hardly knew how to
contain himself.

among us, and have endeavored to get you all
together into a black man’s party. Without
saying whether their motives are good or bad,
we wish to say to you that if you wish to form
yourselves into a black man’s party, you will
force us to form ourselves into a white man’s
party. So right at the beginning you see our
house is divided against itself. Do you not
see that if the black man is opposed to the
white man, it follows from this that the white
man is opposed to the black in in. So we
shall be opposed to each other. Now no good

you know that only a few months ago it was
proposed in Ohio to let negroes vote? The
white people there voted It down by forty or

It was because they hated the black people.—

Editors M-tcon Telegraph — Gentlemen: I
have just seen, in the Columbus Sun, a short
article extracted from your paper, referring to
a minor that a letter had been received from
me advising that the Conservative men of
Georgia pursue in the approaching elections
the policy of non-action, as they did in the
elections for or against a Convention and for
members of the Convention. I desire simply
to say. that I have given no advice—expressed
no opinion, either verbally or in writing, iu
the premises.
Believing that in this crisis concert of action
— unanimity, if that be attainable—among onr
friends is greatly desirable; had I deemed it
proper under the circumstances to volunteer
any opinion on the subject, I would certainly
have addressed myselt to the Central Demo
cratic Executive Committee of Georgia, (thro’
their Chairman, Judge Cabariiss,) in whom the
Conservatives of the State have wisely reposed
a large discretion.
Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t,
Charles J. Jenkins.

So if those people want yon to vote,, U is not j e nterft d the British army and distinguished
himself in several campaigns. He was thro’
graphs present, explained it at once, by saying:
‘* That's the way it has been with him ever ;
since the impeachment began. He is constant- '

You had better have nothing to do with these
The advice they give
you is bad advice.
Now listen to another thing. Less than a
week ago it was proposed in the Senate of
Pennsylvania to let the black people vote.—
The members of that Senate were nearly all
Republicans—the very men that are pretend
ing to be yonr great friends. Well, wbat did
they do? Why almost the whole of them re
fused to give the black man any showing.—
That shows how friendly they are. That shows

he'distinguisbed himself, receiving honorable
wounds.
At the inception of domestic troubles, scent
ing the battle afar off, he joined the troops
under the leadership of Gen. John H. Morgan.
His great military knowledge and experience
made him at once a favorite in the command,
and his keen leader placed him in the position
of Adjutant of his forces.
During Morgan's first daring raid in Ken
tucky, St. Leger Grenfel was especially useful.
In the attack on Cyntbiana, in 1862, at the
head of the 2d Kentucky, with Col. James W.
Bowles of thi3 city, he led a charge which for
