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. C. J. HARRIS, March 21-3t. J. li. TOLBERT.

Now, it is getting time to stop. But we must say once more that it will be impossible for the white people and black people in Georgia to get along together, if they are voting in a body against each other.

Strangers from the North have come 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 can come of this. It will bring nothing but harm to white and black. But the greatest harm will he to jou. These Northern adven turers who come out here pretend that they friends. Perhaps some of them are. i said a good deal then ! But tiie J deceive you when they tell you tiiat ! the Northern people are going to do anything for you, except so far as they can use you as tools for their own purposes. If the Northern people love the blacks so much, why don’t they do something for them at home? Don’t 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 fifty thousand majority. Why did they do it? It was because they hated the black people.— There are comparatively few black people in Ohio, and it would make no difference wheth er they voted or not. There is no reason why I have been and am naturally combative. I don’t propose to be hooted down by anybody, and especially I didn’t propose to be hooted down by a set of i - v men sent out for that purpose, as these fellows i * were at Cleveland and elsewhere.

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.

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 the cloven foot. You had better let them alone.

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.
