K We ha<l occasion to any in our last; 1 1*9114', that the negro would have no con- j | fideuce or respect for us, if we played the j | Sycophant and pre‘ended to be his spe- I cial friends. We find an illustration of |,the truth of our assertion in what is ■; about to lie the result of the late unifica- | Ition movement in Lousiana. Bo far if .'em the whites being enabled to influ pn«e the colored people by this suddenly ; developed attachment, and thus secure >s their co-operation in driving the plun iderers of the State from power, and jSttloeing it sadm mist ration in honest hands, tt sctius they have at once become sus tfei' ions of their new admirers, ff Hear what Sambo tays to his newly found if, nds. which we quote from the New [: Orleans Herald ; “We don’t intend, bow- Bevcr, to take you on trust. There must L along and certain probation. You "must sit on the anxious bench, and give Kasatrance of the sincerity of your )>ciii jj reive and reformation, before you are into the folds, of the faithful.” ;An 1 this is tin; consolation (Jen. Beaure- Jg.ird ami his associates get for their won- I'd. i t til concessions and condescensions to P 11:“ < olored popubtt ion of Louisiana. IV e I don’t say this bv wav of censure, for 'although we think they are wrong, by ■, wlicu we consider the troubles that § surround them, and theevils that pressed ft upon them, perhaps we ought to make L some allowance for any error they com- Imit.ted in seeking to free themselves from | tic • oppressions.. But the result only Bad;' ■#if folly of supposing that you f’ tan command the respect of the negro by hu o 1 ling yourself to him. In striking contrast to the conduct of I the negroes of Louisiana towards* these lun neators, we notice the treatment of I-Nr, Jefferson Davis by some of the same I tee of poo pic. It, will be remembered f that of all the prominent men connected I' with t.ho Southern Confederacy, not oue s his been mori' firm and unwavering in h.s principles than Mr. Davis. Amidst IjUl his trials and afflictions,, lie never that we recollect,, uttered one word of conces sion t o the arrogant demands of our conquerors he never sought to mitigate their wrath by oue sentence of flattery, to ameliorate his own condition by ouo set of sycophancy, but with a dignified silence becoming his position, and with courage and fortitude that would have challenged the admiration of bis persecu tors, had they possessed soul enough to ft " predate virtue, he has borne all the evils incident to his situation. ,He has re ver intimated that he has abandoned 1 i old State Right, doctrines, or that ho •is tending in the least towards social I. equality, unification, or anything of the kiud. As an honorable gentleman, he is [ doubtless kind and just towards all the ‘ jolored people who come in contact with . him, but. no one dreams that he ever % s"ii ditto conciliate- tlieir favor by pre fgMnding to any exfraoMinary attachment b tivihein. But we how the sable sons jfef Africa appreciate a high-toned gon fj. man. The St. I,ous CliristaiH Advo- Muie- .;U noticing a, recent *visit of Air.

After their dulcet strains had jessed, Mr Davis called them into his viom. where, after cordial greetings on With sides, and a little chat about, old imes, he made each a handsome present, ti another time during his stay, he was ■}!, lon 1 v an ‘old amity,’ who had <o T. the nurse of his eldest child.

Grant shall again he j elected President. Os course we of the ; South are opposed to it we never want ed him for the first term, and the longer | he is President the more satisfied we arc j that we were right in our judgment, and that he never ought to have lieen elected at all. This third term issue, however, involves something more than his mere qualification for the position it includes an abandonment of the old precedent es tablished by our fathers, of never re-elect ing the same man hut once, and is a step, yea a long stride, towards despotic pow er. And in this view it would he objec tionable, even if Gen. Grant was ns pure and unselfish as the great Washington himself. In fact,if we depart at all from these time-honored customs, we would much prefer that we should adopt ylo rule that no man should be President longer than one term of four years. We are glad to see this subject is being dis cussed at the North, and that such a leading journal as the New York Herald has been publishing several able articles against the third term proposition. We trust there are Republicans who, while they have heretofore supported Gen. Grant, will not seek to bring him before the peoples, third time, and thus set an example which willb* dangerous to the Republic, if notin his hands, perhaps in the hands of some who may come after him. We are aware that there arc some who think there is a talismanic charm in the name of Gen. Grant that insures success to their party, and inasmuch as wilh many of these, partyis above country, their ears are deaf to any warning voice upon this subject. Their patriotism, if they ever had any, has long since been ab sorbed by their desire for gain, and as their desire is only strengthened ami in creased by being gratified, and as the present administration has offered many of them abundant opportunities for thus feeding and encouraging this unholy pas sion, it is expected that these will still insist upon the re-nomination of Gen. Grant. Whether this element of the Re publican party will control ils action, or whether more conservative councils will prevail, remains to be developed in the future. We roust confess, however, we see but little hope for the country, if the correction of the present evils that op press us, is entirely dependent upon the Radical l’arty. Lettter of Kx-Govertior Jenkins* Elsewhere we publish the letter of Air. Jenkins, and like everything else coining from the pen of that gentleman, it is worthy of careful perusal. Air. Jenkins is acknowledged to ho one of the purest men of the age. With an unsullied mor al character, and a gifted intelfcet, his views and opinions are entitled to great weight with our people. Air. Jenkins has generally been conservative, and has never figured us a ranting politician, but ho has been none the less true to his principles and bis country on that ac count. When the war was over, Hie was elected Governor of Georgia, without op position- it being the general opinion that if there was any man in the State, who, by wisdom and prudence, could get Georgia again restored to her position in the Federal Government, without the sacrifice of her rights and her honor, that man was Charles J . Jenkins. A better choice could not have been made—amore faithful laborer for this desirable end could not have been found. And al though on account of the fanaticism of the Radicals, and the base subserviency of tin' Supremo Court of the United States to party power, he failed to ac complish all he desired; yet, amidst all his trials and troubles, he preserved un tarnished both his own honor, and the honor of his native State. It was a grand spectacle to see our Executive, unawed either by the power or malice of his ene mies, calmly appealing for our rights to the highest tribunal in our land. Had j the Judges of that Court possessed the i sterling iutogflty and moral courage that j he displayed, what untold evils might have been saved, not only toGoorgia.but to her sister States of the South. It will be seen that Mr. Jenkins takes a rather hopeful view of the country. The const it ution has been violated so of ten and so recklessly, that some of us had almost lost all hope of returning re spect for that once revered document, lie thinks, however, that there are indi cations of a change, and that there is | now no cause for dispondeney. It is | high time for the mania to abate, and for i the people to return to sober thought. I Perhaps the effort that will evidently be j ; made by some of the Radicals, to eon ! tiinio the reign of Gen. Grant through a j j third Presidential term, and thus inaugu- j rate the beginning of Empire, may arouse j the patriots of all parties and sections I from their lethargy, and bring them to unite in one more effort for constitutional ; liberty. As we recede from the bloody ] scenes of the late war, the malice ami; hatred engendered by that fratricidal j ! struggle, may abate, but unfortunately j j the Radical party has seized upon these I 1 animosities, and used them for the pur-: | pose of public plunder and personal, ; emolument; and while hatred between I the parties may have decreased, the de sire for gain has increased by being grat ified. The monied influence lias become ; a great power in the laud, and any move- I inent that look* to a pure and eoomoni -1 eai administration of the Government, must necessarily interfere with this uuho | lv greed of gain, and therefore meet with most determined opposition. OKOROTA yen s.— Crop accounts [from Elbert county I are not very promising. —Mr. W. W. Simpson, President of; the Washington Bank, received serious j injuries last week by falling from a wag- I on. ~-A white man in Athens was fined 8300 for knocking down a negro who threatened his little daughter. Col.

We think it an efficient destroyer for these insects, when you can get. them ’in posi* sion, and then apply a match. - A reward of one hundred and fifty dollars each is offered by the Governor, j who has issued a proclamation to that j effect, for the arrest of John L. Ready,! of Worth county, who murdered a Mr. Fitzgerald, and Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, of the same county, who killed her infant child. — Borne negroes in Savannah paraded the streets, uniformed and carrying mus kets, on last Saturday, in honor of the anniversary of freedom in Liberia. ’.lbis is a momentous event in which they are deeply concerned. Anything for an apology to wear stripes and march to the dulcet music of a drum and fife. —The Brass Band of Brunswick boast, that, they are no longer a brass band having recently received anew set of sil ver instruments. The Mayor of Brunswick is making war against the vagrants of that place. •re are a few lying around another | town in Georgia who wo would like to see ! made to go to work, or “take up their beds and walk.” There is a Dutchman in Savannah, by the name of Smith, who is in trouble. He has Juid a fellow workman named Don Manuel Llcrann, a Cuban, hoarding at his house for several months past, and he and Mrs. Smith, who is said to be pretty anil fast; “took to” oaiih other just as natural as ever young ducks did to water. Smith had every confidence in his “darlint,” however, and never sus pected anything wrong until one even ing, as lie was returning homo, he ob- ; served his boarder and liis wife in posi-j tioii so “close apart” and indulging in j such caresses as to [arouse his jealousy. The injured husband riprimanded hi., faithless wife, and went to bed* with her that night, but about twelve o’clock she quietly withdrew, and joined Don Ala.nu ij Llerana, with whom slio had arranged an elopement,. “Smitd midout a vrow” followed them to the depotand bade them farewell, telling them to “go long.” ■ Savannah had a little fire on 1 ridav morning. —Thomasville has a chicken with four legs and three eves, and Hie 'l ine s wauls to know “who can beat this?” We don t have any such deformities in these parts. If our friends of Thomas want to make an issue with us for tho best and healthiest j chicken, or the pluekyest cock, weave in. 1 We receive the Bainbridgo Demo crat about, once in three weeks.

Mumbling the peg, by moonlight, is taking the place of croquet in Athens. —A genial individual in Athens has discovered perpetual motion* It. is liis ; mother-in-law’s jaw. - Mr. Antonie Yon Gemenden, a clerk • in the barroom of t he Planters’ Hotel, in ; Savannah, and who had been for several j days previous suffering from depression of spirits, disappeared very misteriously j on Thursday night. The bonnets worn by some of the ladies in Alacon are so very light that they sometimes lose them off their heads and never know it. —The Planters’ Hotel in Savanah is offered for sale. - Atlanta Herald : We again call the attention to the fact that Col. Waddell is preparing a memorial of the Hon. Lin ton Stephens. AYi> know of no gentle man to whom this grateful task could have been confided with a higher assur ance that it would be faithfully perform ed than Col. Waddell. A warm personal friend and devoted admirer of the great } man whose memory lie lias undertaken to preserve, we feel assured that the work will be carried on as a laborof love. Col. Waddell is a finished scholar and one of 'the most graceful and charming of writ | ors. He seems to possess a peculiar fac | ulty for writing biographical sketches.* | Those which we have seen are most boau- I tiful tributes to his departed friends, and I would have est ablished his fame for this j kind of writing if they had been made public. Col. Waddell desires to begin this work at once, and we therefore re quest all who have any letters or papers connected with either the private or pub lic career of Judge Stephens to send i them to Col. Waddell at Marietta, and he will carefully preserve them and re- j turn to the owners. A Gubernatorial and ex-Gubernato rial Correspondence ■ I w ill be remembered by most of our reader*, that some time since the Bar of Macon gave a dinner t.oex-Gov. Johnson, at which, in one of his flourishes, he mad, : use of some remarks which were thought | to reflect. upon his Excellency, Gov. j Smith, who, it will be seen, has addressed a note to the former, demanding an ex- | planation, the substance of which, and , the’correspondence following, we furnish j below, as condensed, from the Atlanta j papers by the Savannah Advertiser and . Jityrtiblican, of’Tuexday: Our space will not permit us to give I the skirmish in detail, but wc propose to j dish up sufficient to give our readers a : full understanding of the matter. Sometime since, the Macon Bar gave ex-Govemor Johnson a dinner, at which he rounded off a rhetorical port prandial ! flourish, with the. following sentiments : | “In reference to my administration a* ! the Executive of tho State, this much I j : will declare, I never deceived any one with j I false promises.” Under date of tho 19th of June, Gov- j ernor Smith addressed ex-Governoi Johnson a no:e, the point of which is j contained in this paragraph ; “When J state that: gentlemen who heard the speech delivered ha ve <\ji ■■ : ■ J (he opinion that, in using this language,: you intended to make an injurious impu tation against myself, you cannot fad to see the propriety of my requesting you to say explicitly whether, upon the ocea- t sion referred to, you used, literally or. substantially, the languageahov< quoted ; and what reference, if any, you intended j the same to have myself,” On the 21st the ex-Govertior r. phi thus : Without, attempting to quote all I said, I did say, on the point concerning; which you inquire, in substance: As to; ! my administration, while Governor, J shajl saylmtbt.il’. it is for others to pn-s 1 upon its merits or demerit.- 1 . And I con cluded with the remark, “that f never; deceived anybody.” The words “with 5 false promises” were added by the re- ! porter, without intending, I presume, to |dome or anybody else an injustice. It i was ari occasion of good humor, and Un- j j remark was made in that spirit. At the moment the charge against you, which I have so often heard, of haying 1 deceived applicants for office, came into j my mind and suggested the remark. Thus far, I may be said to have alluded to you. But I intended n<> such charge myself, nor to express any opinion in reference to it. On the 27th, the Governor writes that, j the explanation is insufficient, and reiter ates liis demand for abettor showing. j On the 4th of July, the ex-Govcriwr maket another attempt at explanation in : t his wise : I am not even now, after full reflection, conscious that at the moment of the re- : mark, you personally were in my mind, i A r ou certainly were neither the subject ; nor the object of deliberate thought, but j a certain matter, to-wit : the charge that [ you had deceived applicants for office, ns : a suggestive su' j e. of thought, eutne 1 into my mind. It, was thus only that I had any reference at all to you ; and that,; not, as the subject'of the thought, nor j the object of tho remark. Hence, ae- j cording to the law of association, it was; the result of a rapid intellectual opera- i tion, of which tho charge just stated was; the suggestive circumstance of tact the; mere punctumealines. 1 have thus given you the interior working of my mind, | from which you can see lor yourselt “what reference, if any,” was made to i you. Tho remark, per sc, does not, nee-j essarily, point to you, except from its . connection with the suggestive 1 fact just j stated, and upon the construction placed : upon it by “intelligent gentlemen ’ who i heard it. To this the Governor answers hv an- , other call for a full and satisfactory ex- , planation under da® of the 10th inxt. ; And the ex-Govemor on the 17th makes profert of this amende : I now' disavow, for the third time, any intention whatever, by the language used, “to make nil injurious imputation j against yourself.” 1 did not intend by ; the remark, and on the occasion of its utterance, to charge you ivith deceiving j applicants for office, nor to express any ; opinion in referrnco to such charge. And ; j that there may be no misunderstanding ; | as to what 1 mean, I add, that T did not • | intend to do either of these things, di rectly or indirectly, overtly or covertly. 1 On the 22d inst. the Governor replies! that the foregoing “met liis reasonable : expectations,” and here the matter rests, it is to be hoped, forever, A Child Killkii with a Scythe in the Hands op its Father. -On Friday ; morning a little son of Samuel King, j a farmer in the town of Oswego, was killed with a scythe in the hands of its : father. Mr. King was mowing in his ; meadow with a scythe, and while he was : at work his little son, aged five years, I came running out to him. Air. King | told the'lad that it was not safe for him j j to be there, and to go,back to the house. ! The little fellow started, but it appears i that instead of going home he laid down i in some tall grass beside a stump in the | meadow and fell asleep. Subsequently I I Mr. King went to mow around t his stump, I and, not seeing the boy, thrust the point of the scythe into his face below the eye, ; cutting through the nose and producing a horrible wound. Mr. K. pulled the: 1 scythe out with his own hands, but the | : child died within a few moments. Air. ; King’s grief at the lamentable accident i ; it is beyond human power to picture.— The scene at the child’s funeral, • which j took place Sunday, was most sorrowful, j —Syracuse Courier. The Utica Herald says that men will ; never know what effect it would have had j | on Job if eleven little girls had called ou i j him, one after another, and tried to sell j 1 him Sunday school picnic tickets. More About Turpentine Farms, Mb. Editor :—Our article of week be fore last showed only the smallest return that a turpentine fanner might expect. Our calculation was based on the hypoth. esis that S3 per barrel could only be re alized for the crude material. We are assured that the “Virgin dip” (the first year’s yield of the pines) commands at j the still, generally, $5.00 per barrel, and j frequently runs up to as high as 87.00 j per barrel. It was also based Upon the j idea that one hand would chip only 10,000 , boxes, and that barrels would cost 30cts i each. Good “chippers” are tasked 13,000 j boxes, which they run over easily during : the week, thus increasing the profits of j the operation. We arc also informed j that nowhere do the barrels cost more , than 20cts each. We have heard the objection, “that : the increased amount of the product would lessen the demand so as to render , the sale of rosin and turpentine practica- : bly impossible, at living prices.” To j this we would reply that heretofore the j State of North Carolina had a monopoly i of the business. Now her pines are ex- | haunted and her enterprising sons are j seeking new fields of labor and profit, and j arc locating among us. Again, with the ! increased production of the article, arise j new demands, Egypt, India, and the Southern States, all cultivate cotton; still I wo hear no fears expressed with regard: to an over crop, for the staple is put to | lii-iv uses, and additional factories are to 1 be supplied. The teaming millions of! j earth find a use for all, of every produc tion beneath the sun, and we imagino j ! that the turpentine and rosin will not be | an exception. We have heard it urged against the j enterprise in this section, “that wo are | too far from a market, and that the | ! freights will eat up all the profit.” This |is a grand mistake. The Atlantic and ! | Gulf Rail Road will transport the tur- i j pentine and rosin to Savannah cheaper I than any other Railroad, for the same | distance. Then from Savannah to New ; i York or I'dstou, at nearly the same ; j freight that a like article can be trails- j j ported from Wilmington, North Caroli- j j na, to such port. To foster and encour- j | age this branch of industry, and to dc- j ; velope the resources of our section, this j Railroad discriminates in favor of tur- I i pentine and rosin frieghts. Now, wheth- 1 I er or not this harvest will be garnered by 1 those "of the manor born,” or gathered by stranger hands, is the issue. We ap- j j pear for our “Kith and Kin,” and urge | j upon the people of Brooks county to act j in this matter. Take time by the fore-! | fetlock, and rich will be your reward. i PROGRESS. | jlor Admliscmcnto. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX. ATLANTA, GKOBOIA. ORUAS OF THE BAPTIST BEAOWVITMH. Rev. D. SHAVER, I).

It is ' j sufficient evidence of its virtues as a standard ; j medicine to. know that it is now used in all parts j ! of the world, and that its sale is constantly in- ' j creasing. No curative agent has had such a | : wide spread sale or given such universal satis j faction. i 1) vvis’ Pain Killer is a purely vegetable I | ermpomid. prepared from the best end purest! } materials, and with a care that insures ih»* most 1 S perfect uniformity in the medicine; and while it j I is u most effective remedy tor pain, it is a per- | 1 feetlv sate medicine, even in the most unskillful i I hands, j It is eminently a family Medicine; and by be- j iog kept ready for immediate lesort, will save I many an hour of su tie ring, and many a dollar in j i time and doctor’s bills. After over thirty years trial, it is still receiv ing the nios f unqualified testimonials to its vir- j ! tues. from persons of the highest character and • ! responsibility.
