possible effort to prevent the repeal of the

This year’s cotton crop is put at 3,800,-
300 bales, by the December report of the
Department of Agriculture.
It is proposed to erect a million-dollar
edifice in the Central Park, New York Citv,
in which to hold a “World’s Fair” in 1870.
Charles Francis Adams of Massachu
setts, has been mentioned by several influ
ential Republican politicians in tbe North,
as a candidate for the next Presidency.
Bioijy and Bcthune, Radicals, are elected
to Congress in the Third District, over
Wright, Democrat, by from 1,200 to 1,400
majority.
In 18G8 Burke county gave a Radical
majority of 1,700 ; this year it rolls up a
Democratic majority of 500! Something
has ‘drapped’ there, certainly.
A reward of $5,000 is offered by Gov.
Bullock, for the apprehension of the person
or persons who stole and carried away the
Calhoun county ballot box, on the 22nd
ultimo.
Judge O. A. Lochrane, formerly of Ma
con, now of Atlanta, has been appointed
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. lie
entered upon the discharge of the duties of
that re-por.siblo position on Wednesday.
There is a slight touch of irony in the re
mark made by the Brownville (Tcnn.) Bee,
that “all that the Southern people can see,
or are likely to see while this generation
lives, is to raise cotton at thirty cents a
pound and sell it at twelve and a half cents.”
Bills to admit into the Unloh two new
States, Colorado and New Mexico—the latter
to be named Lincoln—have been introduced
in Congress this session. A third, the
Indian Territory, will soon be knocking at
the door. Sho has already petitioned to
have the name of “Ocmulgee” inflicted upon
her.
“R. B. Bullock, Gov. of Georgia, to Wash
ington Chronicle, Dr, To 4 lines, (Editorial)
$1,G0.” This was the last charge made by
Forney against Bullock, and was for this
short squib, for all of which kind the first
named receives 40’cents per line :
“Georgia, it is claimed, has electod five
Democratic Congressmen out of the seven,
and a Democratic Legislature. Intimidation
and violence have done their work.”
The following is the vote of Elbert county
—tbe home of Attorney-Gen. Akerman—-
at the recent election. When the result
was first made known to Amos, it must
have acted as a powerful eye-opener :
For 41st Congress —Conker, (Dem.).. . .002
For 41st Congress—Beard, (eol. Rad.) .130
For 42d Congress—Duß-ois, (Dem.)... .800
For 42d Congress—Fannin, (Rad.).. . .142
The vote for Representative was 004 for
Edwards (Dem.) to 231 for Heard.
Some prying person has unearthed a letter
written by Butler, in August 1807, to a
gentlemen in Wisconsin, in which the hero
of Big Bethel, Du‘ch Gap, Bermuda Hun
dred and Fort Fisher, opposes the nomina
tion of Gen. Grant as the Republican
candidate for the Presidency, and calls him
a “man without head or heart, indifferent
to human suffering, and impotent togovern,”
whose election to the Presidency he solemn
ly declares would be a “misfortune” to the
country.

The returns show the most overwhelming
triumph for the Democracy of Georgia, ever
achieved by the party in any State. We
have elected 18 Senators from the twenty
two odd counties, and, we think 140 Repre'*

lladirul Amnesty.
Radical amnesty is a remarkable thing,
ar.d ought to excite the gratitude of all
southern people. Butler, the Beast, has
shown more than his usual skill and in
genuity in framing the amnesty bill (so
called) that he has proposed to Congress.
In the first place, he grants amnesty to
everybody, and then he makes such a large
list of exceptions as to leave nearly all who
are now suffering under disabilities, still
under them. It wo»ld seem strange that a
sensible man should propose a thing which
really defeats itself; but, as is said to be
the case with some letters, so it is with
Butler’s bill, the postscript is the most im
portant part. Ho lugged in a clause pro
viding that nothing shall be recovered from
either Northern or Southern men for acts
done during the war, thus saving himself
by legislative enactment from the suits for
damages that he has had to stand for his
various thefts during the war. This is a
trick well worthy of the author and the
party of which he is now the most promi
nent leader.— Staunton Spectator.
Trip to Richmond, Georgia.
Communicated.]
Mr. Editor: Through the courtesy of
yourself and yoor predecessors, I have had
the pleasure of reading the llrrald from
its inception to the present time. Those,
who preceded you. d“serve great praise for
the z al, energy and activity they mani
fested in their efforts to establish, on a firm
basis a periodical worthy of the confidence
and j itronage of the people. It was a step
in the right direction. They showed an
intense arxiety to promote the highest in
terests of a community, disheartened and
discouraged by sad leverses and heavy
losses. Perhaps in prophetic vision they
saw near at hand, the time when your
town, long smoldering beneath the cinders
and ashes caused by tbe incendiary’s torch,
should arise to commercial life and activity,
and once more at the head of steam navi
gation, take her place among the thriving
and prosperous towns of the empire State
of the South. The Herald has, by do
means, deteriorated since you ascended tbe
tripod. Every issue of the paper gives ad
ditional evidence that you are in the right
place, and that your paper is destined to
occupy a high position among the periodi
cals of the day. You have increased,
largely, thjj amount of reading matter,
your editorials are short*, bold, pointed and
judicious, in fac\ the Herald deserves a
place in every family. After a residence
of three years at Thomaston, I can but feel
a deep interest in the prosperity of the
place and the happiness of the people. I
shall ever remember, with great pleasure,
the p’easant seasons I have spent in asso
ciating with the good people of Upson.
As everything on earth is transitory, so,
I find myself, just now in a transition
state. Being loyal to the church of my
choice, it became necessary for me to
change my field of labor. After preaching
and arranging and planing, the hour of
departure came. The hour that must sep
arafe from endeared friends and associa
tions and cast my lot among strangers.
The heart throbs, the silent tear steals from
the eye, as we say good-bye to the good
people of Thomaston. llow could it be
otherwise, as wo remember "their attention
and kindness in the hour of our affliction
and bereavement, and the prayers and
songs in which our hearts and voices had
so often mingled ? God bless them, and
prosper them. As Thomaston and its busy
throng wore left behirnj, how natural that
feelings of sadness should steal over our
spirits. But these feelings seemed not to
be confined to us alone ; even old Dan,
himself, seemed to show signs of melan
choly, n3 he left for the last time, the streets
so long accustomed to his soft and gentle
tread. Perhaps he remembered bow in
days of yore, he had been a bridal present
to the amiable Mrs. T. and the pleasure he
had afforded the happy pair, as he had at
tended them on various excursions. Per
haps he had visions of hills and creeks and
mud to be overcome as he journeyed, east
ward, in search of light. As he moves
slowly and thoughtfully along perhaps
three miles from town, we are overtaken by
three gents of African persuasion, appar
ently in a great hurry, puffing and blowing ;
we accost them, “Men ! have you voted ?”
“Yes, walked twelve miles before sun up,
have voted, and will get home before din
ner, walking twenty-four miles and voting
before noon, that beats any horse.” Dan
seemed to resent the idea of being beaten
by Rads, he raises his ears, away he goes,
and leaves the boasting Rads far in the
retr. Tbe first night found t*s at my old
friend Walker’s, five miles east of Forsyth,
where we spent a pleasant night, and talk
ed of the reminiscences of the past. The
next morning we made good speed till
within three miles of the river; we learned
that the flat, like many of the people, had
gone down and that reconstruction was not
complete. We were directed to file to the
left, and go up stream ten miles and we
would find a ferry. At this Dan shook his
head and his driver looked blank. No
time to tarry, so onward we go. Fortun
ately we soon overtook a man going the
same rout, who proposed to pilot us through.
We fell into line, and over hills, through
woods and swamps and creeks, we made
cur way till we reached the ferry. This
past we encountered an abundance of mud
ar.d hills, till night found us at the hospita
ble mansion of my old friend, Maj. Barron,
in Jones county. That night there was a
fearful contest between King Mad and
General Frost. General Frost, however,
claimed the victory, and King Mud was
forced to make an unconditional surrender.
Since then mud has interposed but few ob
stacles in our way. The roads have been
smooth, firm and of a most excellent char
acter, with the exception of an occasional
sand-bed. By the way, Maj. Barron and
others in Jones county, are substituting
Swedish labor for that of freedmen. They
are highly delighted with the change. lie
has five in his employ. They are educated
to some extent, members of the Lutheran
Church, industrious, neat, faithful and
willing to do whatever is required of them.
There are about fifty employed in Jones
county, and many more will be imported
the coming year. From this place our route
lay through Milledgeville. This section
shows, to a fearful extent, the effects of the
war. Plantations once thriving and pros-
now in a dilapidated condition,
fences gone, buildings rapidly decaying,
and only an occasional patch under culti
vation. I was surprised at the activity and
business-like appearance of Milledgeville.
Yet while her streets present the appear
ance of life and activity, her public build
ings, ones the great center of attraction, are
marked only by silence, loneliness and de
cay. The Capitol ground, once beautiful
and lovely, is now a common, and a single
gate way is all that now remains of the
beautiful enclusure that once surrounded
the capitol of the Empire State of the
South. Even the Penitentiary itself,
through the clemency of Bullock, presents
a lonely appearance. No wonder that Bul
lock, the old Arch Radical and Prince of
Scalawags was anxious for the seat of gov
ernment to be at Atlanta. In Milledgeville
his residence would have been in too close
proximity to those walls, within which he
ought to find an abiding borne, to allow
him to enjoy an easy and quiet conscience.
We passed through Sparta and WarrentoD,
thriving and flourishing towns, inhabited
by an intelligent and enterprising people,
fully alive to the interests and wants of
the country. Though the weather has been
cold, our trip has not only been pleasant
but delightful. We have had the privilege
of greeting many an old friend. And dow ‘
the trip is made we are safely housed in
the pleasant and delightful mansion of W.
A. Ciarke, Representative, (elect) an ac
quaintance and friend of other days. Here
we make our headquarters till the arrival
of our better-half, then we shall move into
a pleasant and comfortable Parsonage where
we hope to spend a happy and prosperous
year. Perhaps more anon.
Yours &c,
D. Kelset.
Brothers ville, Dec. 30th 1870.
Soulhcm Statesmanship.
A bright, trenchant writer, who does the
editing sot a Baltimore Episcopal sheet,
talks with his head level about the impolicy
and detriment of excluding Southern states
manship from the National councils. His
photograph of southern Radical representa
tion is apt, vivid and truthful. Read him ;
If the. world, as we have said, does not
exhibit as rapid a rise in progress as Amer
ica presented under Southern counsels,
neither can it surpass the sudden and pro
found descent whigh has been made since
Southern men were driven off dv the ag
gressive meins of Radicalism, and kept out
by its continued triumph. There is not a
material or political interest of this coun
try which has not deteriorated in Radical
bands.
The change in our condition is as great
as from the genial temperature of summer
to the freezing atmosphere of mid-winter
In nothing have we progressed under Radi
cal rule save in the wholesale increase of
debt, National and State, and in taxation
unequalled in any part of the world, and
in an amount of official corruption which
has never been surpassed from the earliest
history of mankind. Y r et, in the face of
these facts, Radicalism persists in ostracis
ing and excluding from the national coun
cils the statesmen of that section, which has
heretofore furnished us our wisest and safest
guides and leaders in prosperity and adver
sity. The race which claims consanguinily
with Washington. Jefferson. Madison, Cal
houn, Clay, and other bright and number
less stars in our political firmament, are
consigned to outward darkness, whilst the
farthing tallow dips of carpet-baggers are
put in their place.
The very sight is portentous of woe—
those lean and ill formed kine, who have
eaten up the fat-flesheu and well favored;
those empty and blasted ears of corn which
devoured the good and full ears. And in a
Senate which was once Roman in its digni
ty and power, and on the very spot where
the Southern giants once stood, we now see,
as representatives of the South, narrow
brOwed, stunted, evil-eyed adventures and
scalawags, who look like a combination of
the Wandering Jew and the impenitent
Thief. And this at a juncture when the
country needs, more than ever, especially
in the state of our foreign relations, its best
statemanship. Tbe South does not ask to
control this country ; but as its future fate
is bound up with the rest, to have some
voice in its own control and in the general
guidance. Is not this a reasonable request?
Do not the interests of the oouutry demand
that it should be granted.
Grant and San Domingo.
There is something remarkable, if not
corrupt, ’ in the President’s persistent and
persevering efforts for the confirmation of
the treaty for the purchase of San Domingo.
At the last session of Congress, when the
treaty was being considered by the Senate,
the President went to his room in the Capi
tol for the purpose of making a personal
appeal in bckalf’of the measure. Hie eff :rts
and influence wore brought to bear upon
tbe Senators who had not given a decided
expression .to their views and pi rhaps
never before had the occupant of that high
position used such arts as the President has
to accomplish bis ends. His interest in
the measure, as is shown by the facts recit
ed, in connection with the lenghty argu
ment in his recent message to the same end,
naturally raises the inquiry in the minis of
the people as to the motives or considera
tions that prompt him. We take the fol
lowing extract from the Boston Post, which
may explain the interest of the President
in the San Domingo scheme :
“Gen. Grant is but the agent of a New
York company in the effort to annex St>
Domingo to the United Sates. The carital
of this congregation of brokers and jobbers
is said to consist of twenty shares, at $15,-
000 each. To this company all the mineral
lands, mill privileges, and prospective town
sites in St. Dumingo have been granted.
They also have the monopoly of banking, of
building railroads, and of running steam
boats. They are authorized, in the event of
annexation, to survey the whole publie
domain of the Republic, and to have one
fifth of the same by way of compensation.
This orse—fifth they are to locate for them
selves, in any portion of the island selected
With such a fine bargain in prospective, it
! is no wonder the scheme is pushed upon
; the attention of the Senate with such per
-1 tinaeity. •The dividends will be large, and
j hence the interest felt in the movement at
the White House.” —Nashville Union.
The D l Lnder no Disabilities.—
During the discussion of the amnesty reso
lution in the North Carolina Legislature a
few days ago, a favoring Radical remarked
that he was willing to “endorse the indi
vidual application of Zeb Vance, Joe Turner,
or the devil,” to which Mr. Jones, a Demo-’
craf, replied that the “devil had certainly
been under no disabilities in North Carolina
fur the last two years. He was in nearly
every office, and his cloven foot could be
seen in almost every act done by the party
so lately in power.”
Several bills have been introduced re
cently to create new judicial districts in
Western States. The authors of these
measures are in most cases gentlemen who
are an ler the necessity of retiring from
Congress on the fourth of March, and who
look upon a United States Judgeship for
life as a good thing to fall back on.

The following is a copy of the protest
entered by A. O. Bacon, Esq., in behalf of

against the legality of the election held in

Messrs. J. Clarke Swayze, W. P. Gcodall,

Gentlemen : We the undersigned, candi
dates for Representatives from this county
to.the next Legislature, do hereby protest
against the validity of said election, and
the vote cast therein, because the same has
been illegally conducted in disregard of the
laws of this State, and because a large
number of illegal votes, net less than 700,
have been received and counted by your
selves, w hich were under age, non residents
of said county of Bibb, idiots, and lunatics ;
and in addition the polls were closed on the
last day 0 minutes before 6 o'clock, when
20 odd persons (legal voters) were strug
gling to vote ; the last twenty minutes the
polls were open, voters were unnecessarily
delayed in casting their votes, so as to ex
clude others entitled to vote, and other
legal voters hr.d their ballots rejected when
they stood ready to take the affidavit re
quired by law.
These and other things proving the ille
gality, we are prepared to prove, and ask
that the return be kept open until we have
opportunity to do so.

Protection and Free Trade.
A gentleman writes from Philadelphia,
asking us to tell the difference between Free
Trade and Protection, with the advantage
of one over the other, in such language that
the people can understand the argument.
Very well.
John White and Thomas White are two
brothers. '
Their father died ten years ago.
William Black, who had one child, and
was rich, married Mrs. White, the widowed
mothor of John and Thomas White.
John White is a farmer and raises grain.
1 homas White is a wagon maker who
makes wagons wanted by John to hanl his
grain to market, when he raises more than
wanted for family use.
John wants to sell Thomas fifty bushels
of wheat for a wagoft.
The father-in-law, William Black, hav
ing a sort of claim on the boys, because he
is the second husband of their mother, says
the two boys John and Thomas may trade
with each other when they pay him a dollar
for the privilege—and not before.
Ihe dollar they must pay, between them,
before they can trade, William Black uses
for his pet son who lives without work, and
whose dollars are increased every time
John and Thomas White trade, or buy of
each other.

Columbus is destined to be the great
manufacturing place of the South. I hf>r >
is no such water power elsewhere, and
nowhere else such ease of tnii.sn„rtanon.
Then, too, it is in the midst of a fine cotton
growing region, and shipped lust year o\ei
75,000 bales of cotton. I asked the cost of
manufacturing here compared with the
North, but did not get a anti-factory an-wer.
It was evident they did not desire to tell.
Yet there is at lro»t the difference in the
price of cotton, and the difference of trans
portation and cheaper labor. In a pamphlet
issued bv General'Chilton, he claims that
it costs $22 dollars more to manufacture
500 pounds of cotton in Massachusetts than
a Columbus— r.U chargee and freights in
cluded. Labor is abundant, tnere being
hundreds of poor whites anxious to get such
work. General Chilton told me he had to
turn them off daily.
Them are three more cotton factories in
the adjoining county of Upson, running
about 7.000 spindle?' in all. In Columbus
there are two large foundries and machine
shops, and one agricultural implement man
ufactory : also near by is Ennis' Novelty
Wood Woiks, for spokes, hobs, ef<\, and
pa'ent wheelbarrows.— Coi rcspondcncc of

Tlic Gforgia Election.
Georgia, the thrice reconstructed Empire
Srate of the South —Georgia, the victim of
Forney’s slanders and Bullock’s gang of
plunderers —Georgia, the supreme object of
Grant's solicitude and Akerman’s cunning
statutes and partisan constructions —Geor-
gia, so long the subject of Terry’s gentle
dominion—has gone Democratic by some
where bttween thirty and fiftv thousand.
There is no use of putting too fine a point
on a victory so overwhelming. There are
about 200,000 voters in that State, of whom
perhaps a bare majority are white Demo
crats, the remainder being about ninety
thousand colored voters and seven or eight
thousand Radical office-seekers. It is
therefore plain that the colored troops have
?>ught nobly under the Democratic banner.
If this doesnot put an end to Radical deliv
ery in the South, nothing short of a Red
Sea catastrophe can reach their case. Ten
npssee, Alabama, Eist and West Virginia,
Missouri, North Carolina, and at last Geor
gia redeemed, ought to teach even a more
obstinate and thickheaded man than Grant,
that no chains can long shackle the people
of this country.
Two tills are now before Congress estab
lishing a postal telegraph system. One is
Mr. Washburn's of Wisconsin, which pro
vides for the purchase of all existing lines

Hubbard's of of Boston, which provides for
the transmission of telegraph letters by a
company making connections with all the
best offices, and doing the work under a
bond to the Government.
Tub election for United Stages Senator in
Missouri, to fill the vacancy occasioned by
the resignation of Mr. Drake, takes place n

fame, is generally uuderstood to be the
