And the prisoners lWjj atl- been^dikcli:
ed. A number o'fc 'true biHs 'wer? found fit
Wriglitsville Court, Johnson county, lust
week, and one ol the prisoners put upon
trial as a test case. The testimony was in
sufficient., under the law, to warrant a ver
dict of guilty, and he was acquitted. The
prisoner^ were then discharged. Those held
in Jail here have also been discharged, by
by order of Court. The facts as devel
oped upon these trials—Harris in this anil
Hicks in Johnson—go to-prove that we were
correct in the opinion expressed several weeks
ago, that only the loaders of the insurrec
tionary movement were into the secret The
mass of the colored population know little
or nothing of the ultimate design, and per
haps heard first of the contemplated upris
ing after arrests Lad been made. They had
attended meetings, joined companies, man)’
of them, and were doing as they were told,
never dreaming that they were joining a clan
whose object was blood or booty. The try
ing ordeal through which they have passed
will, doubtless, make them shy of secret so
cieties, drills, uniforms, etc., in the future.
If it will only keep them trom having any
thing to do with, or in any way countenan
cing vagabond negro politicians in the fu
ture, much good will have been accomplish
ed. They have seen that the white people
hive the power over them, and that in a mat
ter of resort to arms they would be as chaft
before the wind. They have seen, also, that
the laws of the State protect them as well as
the whites, and that justice will be meted
out to them by those in authority, and that
they have nothing to fear so long as they
obey the law; but that whenever they attempt
by force to make a law unto themselves,
speedy vengeance will surely overtake them.
The storm has now all blown over, and
peace and quiet reigns supreme. Not a drop
of blood has been shed- Heaven be praised
that it is so. We now urge all, white and
colored, to profit by the lesson learned, and
strive, each and all, to promote peace, har
mony and good will throughout the whole
country.
To the colored people we say, especially,
beware of any man, white or colored, who
attempts to engender bad feeling in your
hearts toward your white neighbor. Such a
man is an enemy to you and to the peace o
the country, no matter whether he come
dressed in the garb of a Saint or a Devil. If
yon fellow him, trouble is sure to come. As
Gov. Johnson told you the other day, the
white people of the South have none but
kindly feeling toward the colored race. We
have been brought up together, nurtured to
gether, and it is but natural that there should
be a kindly feeling in the heart of the white
man toward his boyhood companion. And
the man who tries to persuade the colored (
people that such is not the ease is a villain
ous scoundrel, with nothing good about him
Shun them, shun them, as you value all that
is near ard dear to you.
A meeting has been called, by some of your
race, to be held in this city on Saturday next
to appoint men to go and search out a new
home for you.

No institution of learning in the land is
doing more, unassisted by State aid, for the
education of young men.
By means of the Mess Hall system good
board can be had at S1’2 per month.
For the benefit of young men of limited
means, sons of Ministers, etc., we clip the
following from the Catalogue:
Free Tuition and Aid to Certain Classes.
—By resolution of the Board of Trustees, the
sons of ministers of all denominations, resi
dents of Georgia, and the sons of all Baptist
ministers who have died in the service of
the churches within the State, are entitled
to the privileges of the University, free of
tuition.
Young men studying for the ministry, who
come properly endorsed, are likewise edu
cated gratuitously.
The Baptist Convention of the State of
Georgia holds a fund for education, distinct
from the Endowment Fund. By this fund
he expenses of young men of limited means,
who have been licensed for the Gospel Min
istry, may be defrayed, except what may be
necessary for clothing.

In regard to the crops in this county, I
must say that although they have suffered .
severely from drought and hot winds (during
July and part of August)there,will be plenty
of corn made to supply the farmers of the
county, and in some places some to spare.—
Our oat crop was never better than this year.
Farmers are now making preparation for a
big one another year. Will commence sowing
in some places the last of this month. The
sowing season here is from the middleof this
month to the middle of November. They
sow only the rust proof, oat, known here as
the Mexican oat, which has never been known
to be materially affected by rusk Our oat
crop is considered here of great importance.
The cotton crop here is almost a failure.—
There .cann it be much more than half a crop
made. It Li/. f.Jr in early summer to be an
excellent crop; grew off and took on squares
equal to any previous year, but the dry
weather and hot winds the latter part of July
and first part of August completely ‘diditnp
brown.’ It took the rust and the* result is,
there is no cotton upon it, except a little bot
tom crop.
Potatoes look well, since the rains set in,
and bid fair now for a good yield. Sugar
cane got so badly hurt by the dr)’ hot weath
er that we will make but little more than half
a crop. The pea crop, where there was
rain enough to bring them up, is fine.
To sum the whole thing up, the provision
crop -will be ample to supply the wants of the
people; but the cotton crop will be short and
consequence money will be scarce.—

George W W C Snell, Jesse McAfee,
us on peaceable terms, striving with us for a
common good, we are willing for you to do
so. We need your labor, and you need onr
money. You need our assistance more than
we need your labor. If you go, other labor
will come here and take your places in till
ing the soil. These fair fields are too invit
ing to lay waste; some one will cultivate
them if you do not. We K now that you will
be the losers by going to a strange country,
but choose for yourselves, weighing the mat
ter well before you act. There are many,
white and colored, who libe to travel on the
Railroads, Steamboats, etc., at other people’s
expense. How much profit have you ever
received from the services of those you have
sent off on various missions? Has it put one
dollar—one dime —in your pocket ? Be care
ful before yon take up your hard earnings
again to send men off to look for they know
not what.
In conclusion we say to you, this—the
South—is the best home the sons of Africa
ever had. If you want to know the truth of
this assertion ask of those who have traveled
most, who have visited the wilds of Africa
and seen how the people live from whom you
sprang. All you have to do to be happy in
this country is to be content in the sphere
Providence intended you to occupy, leavin
wiser heads to direct the affairs of State. Be
honest, be industrious, and strive for im
provement, morally and intellectually. Hap
piness consists not in great possessions, but
in being content with what we have.
Mr. Blanton Duncan gives, in the Louis-
nille Commercial, an interesting account of
the Confederate currency. He s.’.ys the to
tal issue never reached S350,00C,009, and its
depreciation was less than is popularly be
lieved. He says the paper dollar was worth
85 cents in gold in November, 1861; 60 cents
in May, 1862; 45 or 50Jcents in November,
1862^ 16 cents in July, 1863; 8 cents in No
vember, J1863 ; 5 cents in May, 1864, from
which period to the termination of the war
it fluctuated, going up once to G cents, and
only falling entirely as a medium in the last
two months prior to the capitulation, when
every one saw that defeat was inevitable.
The Atlanta Herald says: We understand
from what we regard as reliable authority,
that Gen. Jos. E. Johnston has been appoint
ed, and has accepted the position of Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army of Egypt. Only
a short time since, and for the third time,
was he tendered the position. This time it
was urged upon him so strenuously that he
at length consented, and is making his prep
aration to go over and assume his position
immediately. He is to get $100,000 to pre
pare himself an outfit, and is to receive the
sum of $25,000 annually for having supreme
control of the army of the Khedive of Egypt.
this department suspending the collection
of said tax until the next meeting of the Gen
eral Assembly; and wheas, in the opinion of
many persons itwasnot the intention oftheLeg
islature in enacting the act of 1875. to im
pose tax upon products in the hands of the
producers thereof; and it being a matter of
the first importance to producers that the in
tention of the Legislature in this regard
should be clear-ly understood, and that they
should not be unreasonably limited as to the
time within which they may dispose of their
products, and thus be placed to that extent
within the power of the speculators; and
Whereas, The public interest can suffer no in
jury by granting the prayer t ot' the said peti
tioners; it is therefore ordered, that the Comp
troller instruct the several tax collectors of
this State to suspend the collection of the
tax upon cotton and other products in the
hands of farmers and producers on the first
day of April last, until the next meeting of
the General Assembly of this State.
Col. Goldsmith has therefore issued the
following notice to tax collectors:
Atlanta, Ga., September 7, 1875.
His excellency the Governor, having sus
pended the collection of thetaxon cotton and
other tarm produce, in the hands of the pro
ducer for sale on the 1st day of April last,
until the meeting of the legislature, it is,
thereiore ordered that .you desist from the
collection of said tax.
As the digests do not show whetherornot
such returns were made, you are directed to
ascertain from each tax payer, when he pre
sents himself tor the payment of his taxes,
if he returned any cotton or other farm pro
duce. If so, you will deduct the amount from
his taxes, and enter the amount deducted in
a blank column opposite his name, so that
you may know who to call on for what
amount, in case the legislature determines
that said tax should be collected.
In making your settlement with this office
you will enter the amount of tax so relieved
on your insolvent list in order that yon may
get credit for it on your account here.
Persons claiming to have included in their
return, cotton and other farm products must
be sworn as to the amount.
Very respectfully,
W. L. Goldsmith,
Comptorller-General.

1’. Griffin, aged 13 years, 3 mouths and 23
day, son of T. H. Griffin. His mother’s m
den name was Ellen Parrish. Thus hath the
angel of death visited the family and gathered
this precious jewel to infinite glory.
Little William was taken with one of the
severest attacks of colic ever witnessed by
any present. He was taken at the meeting
house on Saturday, and lived until Monday
morning. Little William was one of those
good natured boys; his love was for all good
people. He loved to go to church, as good as
boys of that age, and his talk was that he did
love those good preachers. He was beloved
by all who knew him. He was truthful in all
his ways, and was fully prepared aDd ready
at the Saviour’s call to take his place among
the cherubs in singing His praise. ’Tis asad
affliction to his parents, but his eternal gain.
O may we be prepared by that Saviour so to
shape our lives that we may join him among
the heavenly host Little William leaves pa
rents, five sisters and little brother to morn
his death.
O, lovely bud, but withered soon,
’Tis a sad fate and yet oui doom;
Our Saviour’s call we must obey,
Death heads not time, we can’t delay.
