The Champlsa Negro Unifier.
The name of Beauregard wss once the syno
nym of honor, chivalry and might in the days
when tbs lent Cause claimed tie, sturdy sous
at the Booth as her champion*. Now the name
ia associated with tbe pollution of negro unifi
cation, indeed, is the first on the list declaring
through a set of resolutions, tbs social and psr
feet equality of the negro with the white* of Lou
isiana on the broad ground of the unification of
the races, of whatever color or condition. He it
in fhvor of opening up to them an equal shore
ul the public office# of emolument and trust, of
admitting them on the broadest social equality
to the Immunities of corporations, places of
amassment, hotels, steamboats, on all common
carriers, and of so merging the hybrid mawsw ae
to form one people, the peculiar progeny of this
latter day unification.
How have the mighty (alien ! Longstreet first
led in ihe South the nuke of tbe renegades from
political honesty, followed by a long list of names
not conspicuous of having accomplished anything
of lasting merit. He drank so deep of the dregs
of infamy as to infuriate him into au open con
flict with hut own color.bia own state authority,
whom he insulted by slaughtering the innocents
who dared defend the cause of decency and right.
Now Beauregard, ho who, when Butler, the
Boast wss insulting tbe fair daughters ot New
Orleans with his infernal beast tali ties, called up
on the women of tho South to send up their
church bells with which lo make cannon to slay
the insulten of their sisters ; he who on many a
bard fought field upheld the‘stars and Lars,'a m
bined Ihe hero with tho tearless soldier, has suc
cumbed to the overturea el the enemies of his
State, the vile despoilers of his people, and
stoojied so low as to embrace the whole mongrel
body politic under the broad ogis of Uxutcatiox.
Sumners, Civil Rights bill does not ask more; tbe
most ultra ianatie* of the North, Wumlell Phil
ips 'Thud Steven's Horace Greely, Tliurlow-
Wceil, could not have naked so much as Genl.
Beauregard has yielded. What a consummation
for the enemies of good government, what a
communism of interest aud of feeling is set
forth in these resolutions.
Thera is no need to discuss the equality of the
races in this connection. No sane man recog
nises such a fallacy ; no reasonable basis nan be
hud down upon which to build a superstructure
snob as is indicated iu the IJeutu-egard Unifica
tion movoniciih It is impossible to equalize the
social aud> moral status of the white man and
the negro- In the order and beauty of God’s ore
alien, the one was created high aud above th
other. They will not mix, the one was mode to
rule, to direct; the other to obey, to serve. - r
end all movements that tend to subvert these
fundamental principles of their being, both po
litical and social, will in the and prove an igno
minious abortion.

Macon, Ga., July 17th, 1873.
The commencement exercise# of the oldest in
stitution of ita kind in the world, wo believe, the
Wesleyan Female College, have just closed with
the most gratyfying results.
It was our pleasure to attend several days,and
we feel we eeunot speak in too high praise, of
all that came under our obearvation. Regret
ting exceedingly the limited spse* at our com
mand will prevent an extended account of the
delightful exercise#, we shall write only a sketch
of what we esteem the grandest and most highly
interesting literary and mimical festival it has
been our pleasure to attend.
Early Tuesday moruiug the large boll, festoon
ed wiih evergreens and ducoruted with specimen*
of many lovely paintings which graced its walls,
was soon filled to overflowing with the beauty oi
Georgia, thegi'nllumtp giving up their soul* to
the vast audience of ladies.
Alias Moggie Myers, a .laughter of the worthy
president, read tho first composition, the "Salu
tatory Address," as beautifully conceived in
thought as it was lumdsonmly delivered. Sever
al other compositions followed, succeeded by a
vocal duet, sung by Misses Alary Lou Little, of
Talbottou, and Wright, of Atlanta, two of the
best singers in the college.
Miss AlattieOwen, of Talbot county, in her
brilliant and witty effort on "Old Bachelors,”
won much applause in its delivery. We regret
uot hearing this phiUipic, that came cur lilting
from their si,at* several oi those old young men,
who arc still unhappy,and, it is thought, caused
one to depart, having I wen delivered the day pro
visos to our urrivul. Must Mattie coueluded
rather soothingly, uiid it is thought she doesn’t
hate old bachelors so badly after ail. Miss
Oqjen's paintings were among the bent exhibited,
especially her “Helie” and “Tamboriuu GirL"
The subject oi Alms Ida Frazer, a charming
little maiden of Columbus, “Contrasts"— thiogs
that are like and unlike, was rendered in capital
style and contatued many strong and sensible
ideas.
But the composition that produced {he sensa
tion was read by Miss Louis W. Dozier, one of
Muscogee's loveliest aud sweetest daughters, on
“The American 'Taste for the Sensational." The
points tukeu were well sustained by many truth
ful liiis and aswer'ionsi.
Alls* Emmie A Carlton, of Green- county, as
sweet a subject as ever inspired the [xieiio genius
of Robert Burus, rend a splendid composition
on “Wliat mokes a lady." An this gtaceful
maiden, hursell the embodiment of all that is
essential, enunciated in a clear arid tieantifol
manner, her glowing though!*, heightened by a
fertile imagination,that make up a perfect model
ol a woman; we dream, dor did w e think we
were looking upon a form more perfect than her
ideal creation.
Miss Katie Greer ol this city in her excellent
•discussion of “Mail is what he nmkm Hume If,"
paid a fitting tribute to Hons. C. A Nutting and
W. A. Huff, as Hviug examples among the class
man in this world that should receive the dis
tinction of greatness.
On Commencement Day we again listened to
many excellent compositions by the last section
of the Senior Class. The two daughters of Hon.
Joseph Jones, of Herndon, Burke county, won
uiauy bright laurels for their lair brows, and
left an impress on the vsat audience long tola,
remembered. Miss Sallic Jones on “Fireside
Angels," not the ethereal beings seen in novels
and sung in poetry, but those angels of flush and
blood that make home bAppy in the p< rsons ol
fathers, mothers, brothers and jdstei*. The
Valedictory Address by her sister, Mas Hattie,
was chaste and heautiiul in sentiment and so ef
fectively rendered scarcely a dry eye was to he
seen iu the vast assemblage.
Miss Alexander, of Atlanta, took the house by
storm iu tier delivery of tho “Valedictory Ad
dress to the Undergraduate*. Discarding the
i,l,a of such weakness us people show in tears,
ami rising aloft like a kite, soared iu fine circles,
riveting the attention of her hearers, as she dealt
brilliant repartee and provoked burstiug laugh
ter. Old men, preacher., and even Bishop
Pierce, were completely uulunged and turned
loos* by the seintiiuting wit and good humor of
this remarkable young lady.
The exercises closed with an eloquent address
from tho President, Dr. K. H. Myers, who do
lightod his audience in fine epic verse; express
ing many beautiful thoughts in its delivery, of
advice tenderly given, end words filly spoken to
the graduating close, as kindly as if they had
been his daughters. It was a splendid literary
production. Thirty-eight young Indies then re
ceived their diplomas.
The Coucerl ou Tuesday night was a most
brilliant entertainment. Prof. Whitney shows
himself n superior teacher in music, us docs
I‘rol’s. Smith, Haas and Bizieu in their several
departments. Among, the bright stare were
Misses Little, of Talbotton; Wrigbf id Atlanta:
Jordan, of Monticello, and Jones of Herndon.
Burke county, who can sliame the mocking
birds of Georgia, and the nightingales of Switz
erland iu their sweetest warbling*.
We cannot forgot the courtesy of Prof, A. J.
M. Bizieu and young Mr. Smith, sou of the
l'rofc*sor, who wore ever polite in their atten
tions. Proi. B. is u genuine Frenchman, irorn
Brest, France, aud we consider the college for
tunate iu the possession of such a gentleman
and scholar.
A. It. Watson, tho poet and local of the Tele
graph A Messenger, got oft', in splendid Btyle, the
proceedings of each day for that great and in
fluential journal, which, as a newspaper, stands
pre-eminent and unsurpassed. Maj. Sidney
Herbert, of the Daily Sun, Columbus, who
placed tho people of Talbottou under many ob
ligations by the brilliant reports rendered in be
half of LeYert College, a few days since, is send
ing back to his journal an account of each day's
doings. •
We have been, with hundreds of others, en
tertained in the most comfortable and elegant
style, during tbe commencement, at the Brown
House. The capacity of this popular hotel
seem# as ample as the hospitality of the obliging
proprietors, Col. E. Brown A Son, is unbound
ed. Ev< ry care and attention are bestowed and
none are neglected who stop at this luxurious
home of the traveler. And it seems as if every- j
body stops here, looking over the daily register |
which shows the largest list iu Georgia. This i
magnificent hotel can accommodate comfortably j
500 peojile, and at the approaching great State
Fair will entertain nearly 1,000 guest.

CATHEBNAL or ANTWERP—NOT ILX DAM*—el.
jAoqnu
There are but few places in Europe “so rich
in magnificent churches and embellished by
quch works of art,” as those ot Rubens, Van
dyke, J ordaens Mid other great masters of point
ing, who were horn in Antwerp. We only hove
room to q-wk of the two principal edifices, No
tre Durne and St. Jacques. Of the former, the
great cathedral, whose steeple runs up more
than 400 ft. tapering into the clou da, adorned with
tbe most .beautiful workmanship; you may
form some idea of its dimensions, when you con
ceive oi a building 100 yards iu width and 132
yards long. In the finished tower there is a set
of chimes, whose silvery notes last night lulled
us into a sweet repose; descending from the
blue canopy of the heavens, in liquid sweetness
on thousand* of slumbering eyes below.
Notre Dame is a Gothic structure of great
beauty and like all the churches in Europe, full
of works of art. Tbe walla are profusely hung
with pictures and the very floor on which we
tread, are the tombstones of age*. It ia a very
impseaaive scene then, entering one of these ca
thedrals. On the right, the first object of at
traction ia the master pointing of Rubens, the
chef d'oe’uvre of art, known the world over as
•The Descent of the Cross." To enjoy the fell
effect, beauty and grandeur of (his remarkable
picture, it is nseessary to take a seat in front.
You behold on canvas, 18x30 feet, the life size
figures) of the different characters. Joseph and
Nicodemus are removing the body of the saviour
from the cross, while the three Marys are close
by assisting with all tbe care and tenderness im
aginable, in a woman'* heart. The figure of
suffering Alary, kneeting at bis feet, aud look
ing up at her Redeemer “with tears of love and
sorrow," is one of the most affecting and touch
ing scenes ever beheld. Sir Joshua Reynolds
complimented this production “as one of the
finest figure* ever invented, being most correct
ly drawn in au attitude moat difficult to execute."
The tailing ot the body of Christ on one side
and peculiar position of the head, as the blood
streams from bis side, while be is being lifted
down, is the crowning triumph of art and match
less grace of the pointer. Rubens' next beat
work in the cathedral is “The Elevation of the
Cross," also, his "Resurrection and Assumption
of the Virgin," which are much admired by vis
itor*. In the Museum are to be found some
fine picture* of the Fleemish school, works of
Vandyke, a pupil of Rubens, who travelled and
studied in Italy, at Florence aud Rome.
Tbe house in which Rubens died is pointed
out ou Rue tie Ruben, winch was occupied after
his death by the Duke of Nevrmwtla, who onter
tained Charles the 2nd, during his trails fsom
England

We left Macon, via Mae on A Brunswick Rail
i rood yesterday, and arrived iu this city last night
There is hardly a better managed rend in
Georgia; good officers, good cars ami a magnifi

sometimes whirling through the pine* iu grand
style. Col. Koljcnton, the new superintendent,
takes great pleasure in Ihe discharge ot his offi

Jessup is a thriving little town of some 50(1 in
lmliitiints with an excellent hotel, the Ntnart
House, a number of business houses, railroad
and telegraph office*. It is considered a very
healthy location, 57 miles west of Savannah and
110 south of Macon, at intersection of the At
lantic A Gull Railroad. The principle interest
is stock ntisieg and the lnuilier business, fann
ing lieing comparatively re stricted. Creqis are

Wo arrived in Brunswick just in time for the
“open air" Baptist supper, for the aid of the
Church, which we must say, was one of the
most splendid we have ever seen. It was given
under a large tent, by the ladies, and a large
sum realized. We Lad the pleasure of meeting

Something About Laos Ties A Moaoponr.—
Iron ties have now come into general use all
over the eoiton States, and their sales amounts
to millioua annually. Tbe man who first inven
ted them died very poor. The tie then had six
holes aud a “slot." A mauuticturer {avid his
widow #3,000 fur the patent. He could dotaoth
ing with it and finally disposed of his intere st
for SIB,OOO. The ties were greatly improved
and either last year or the year before there were
forty-two varieties manufactured in the United
States. The company that hud purchased the
origiual right sued all of them for an iufringe
ment of their patent and gained the cose be
fore the Uuited States Court. All the inventors
had retained the origiual "slot,” the aperture in
the metal by which the tie is secured, or some
mollification of it. So now only ODe company
can make these tie* and they are turned out in
immense quantities.
Iu consequence tiee have advanced from four '
and five to nine cents.
IxTEBNATroNAX, AaarrßATlox The English .
House of Commons have adopted by a majority
of one vote—th speaker's, a resolution to in
struct tiie government to address all foreign
powers on tho matter of substituting arbitration
of differences in lieu of war. This proposition
w ill be hailed by the triends of religion, civiliza
tion aud humanity,as a harbinger of better days
for the whole w-orhL Are we indeed on the eve
ol the time "when tbe nations shall not warany
niore ? Truly if all ihe wealth and energy that
might he spent in the destruction of our fellow
beings were devoted to civilizing and enlighten
ing the people of the earth, the time would soon
come “when the desert ihf 11 blosom as the rose,"
and “the waste*places shall be made smooth."
Instead of war with fire, rapine, death and
mangling, the glorious mellennial reign of peace :
would bring an infinity of blessings m it* train. !
