It is spoken of as an “epithet.” , Town is a good old Saxon' word and is applied to very large places. Cowper begins his popular story Of John Gilpin as follows: “John Gilpin was a citizen ( 1 • 1 Of credit and renown; A train-band captain eke was ho, Of famous London town.” The word “town” wa3 originally strictly ap plied to all that part of London outside of the I tribute of' respect and affection to tho dead.— old city walls, and tho word “town,” in contra- We are sure there are not ten men in this distinction to “city,” is still used to designate the | city, for instance, who would have'lifted Cpurt end of London.

So tho planters in Georgia when they friends believe gave their lives for a principle, speak of going to their centre of trade, say they It has been and will be for all time to come, are “going to town.” On tho whole “town” is a the especial province of the South thus to show respectable designation, and Macon can toler- her appreciation, and sho will never cavil at ate it with no loss of dignity. Wo hope she will others who follow her example wards tho Federal memorial day,.and those who participated in its ceremonies. They one and all are agreed, so far as wo have seen, upon this point V _ . It is true that very few of the Southern peo ple took any part in these Federal memorial services, and for reasons very obvious .to all. But it is equally true that there was no op position offered by them either in word or deed, to these services, or any obstruction placed in tho way of those who conducted and partici pated in them. The Sonth having taught the North tho custom of decorating the graves of her dead heroes, conld not consistently raise any objection to Its being followed, provided, of course, as with her people, it was non-par tisan in its character, and only meant as a never be called by any worse name. Felicitous. Mr. Stephens sends ont the second volume of his history of the lata oivil war, with tho fol lowing felicitous and most beautiful dedication: “To the memory of those whose lives, in the laie war between the States, were sacrificed, either in battle, in hospital, in prison or else where, in defense of the Sovereign Right of Lo cal Self-Government, on the part of tho people of the several States of the Federal Union; and in defence of those principles upon which that Union was established, and on which alone it or any other union of the States can be maintained consistently with the preservation of Constitu tional Liberty throughout the country, this vol- nme is most solemnly and sacredly dedicated: while others are to-day strewing flowers upon their graves, this oblation, with like purpose and kindred emotions, is that contribnted by the author, to the same hallowed shrine.” The Rural Carolinian The June number was received yesterday and contains many valuable articles—such as the I Washington is very gratifying and honorable to “Cause and Prevention of Rust in Cotton,” the Southern “rebels.” We are willing to go Shading the Ground—showing the benefits of I before the jury of enlightened public opinion, mulching; ‘,Tho Cultivation of Celery;” Propa- the world over, for a verdict as between the™ gation by Budding (illustrated;) The Squash I and their revilers and oppressors, on this one Vifle Borer (illustrated;) “Iron and its uses— fact alone.

But even with such a widespread be lief there has been no demonstration of dissatis faction, much less of active opposition on the part of anybody at the Sonth.

A Bombshell in the Camp.—Don Piatt writes to the Cincinnati Commercial (Rad.) that tho news that tho Democrats had carried the New York State election outside the city, made the Radicals at Washington “drap" their nnder- jaws.

Windmill Drainage. As a general thing mere wind-work is not solid performance, but it has often occurred to us that if, as alleged, the City Reserve is not sufficiently elevated to be drained by ditching, it might be economically dried as pretty much all Holland is, on very reasonable terms, by windmill pumps. . The Wilmington Journal has tho following upon tho application of this method of drainage to a rice swamp: Dr. J. E. Winants, the purchaser, two or three years ago, of the rice plantation former ly owned by Mr. S. P. Ivey, has been and is still engaged in a series of experiments with various cereals, and has, we believe, attained an encouraging degree of success. He has al ready made a profitable crop of hay, and is now trying what can bo done with corn, cotton, etc. To obviate the difficulty arising from want of Emancipation in Spain.—Tho Spaniards arc .

A Question or Pbecedjxce.—In the way of rebuking “theheathenismof caste distinctions, the New York Tribune bolds up to execration the conduct of a young lady who refnsed to be baptised in the same tank with an African traordinary abundance, and prima facie it ap pears to ns very probable that the swamps of the city reserve conld be kept dry by the same method, and could be made to prodnoe extraor dinary crops and bring an income which should cover the cost of such drainage, if no other or better be practicable.

Synopsized, its provisions are as follows : It provides for a Governor and Legislative Assembly, consisting of a Council and House of Representatives, and for the consolidation of the District under one Government. Among the amendments adopted is one limiting the debt of the Government to $1,000,000. Anoth er amendment provides: “That the charters brother.

A Scriven county correspondent writes to the Chronicle and Sentinel of crop and other mat- ^ers in that county. We make the following ex- Guano cotton seems to be the rage. Every planter has qppUeid as much commercial fertili zers as his purso or his credit would admit of, and it is .but the expression of truth to say that not more than one-third of the cotton crop is np in the'space of country before mentioned. The planters who prepared early and planted care fully have fine stands, and some have thinned clown to a stand and plowed over. Such cotton looks well and bids.fair to make a fine yield. There has been a great scarcity of field hands this season. To rent land seems to be their one and only idea. Many struck for half the crop this year,- with the ■ intention cf stealing tho balance. Some'sncceeded' in tho first, and in all probability Will the 1 latter. ' i After, this year the question of how many hands have you on your plantation will be for ever obsolete. , i T think the darkey will send, for tho plante: to cornu to him, and dictate Is is own terms, which will be about as follows: “Now, boss, 'I kin git de bans, yon is got de Ian and moles. £ ib ns de lan and six mules an feed do mules id gib us all de farmin inteutiils, and wo will gib you two suites of close, one pair shoe?; hat an blanket, provided, always, yon find our moat.” But how is tho poor fellow to furnish meat. Ho once counted his meat hogs by hun dreds. They have all been confiscated by the darkey, and now the farmer would ride a3 far to find a hog trail as he once would have done to run a deer. .' , J ' ■ We had a fine rain last night, and to-day things looks bettor and.we all feel bettor. Cot ton will be np in a few days, but the grass about one month in advance, and, taking all things into consideration, as far as heard from, many planters cannot rely upon mere than half ai crop from cotton that mast appear above the ground a week hence. The Constitutionalist. defines its position on the question of negro suffrage, and the policy it thinks, tho Democratic party of this State should adopt with reference to that class of votes. We make some extracts from the article: ! “Now, in case Georgia should have a canvass in November, which is extremely problematical, it behooves the'Democracy to make war on no class. It is not necessary even to moot the question -of -the policy of negro suffrage. We can simply claim the constitutiond right of the State to regulate the question for herself. We favor-any system of suffrage that works the be i t after fair trial and experiment; but, at the same time, with all the vigor at command, we would hold, even before a negro audience, that the surest means of preserving public liberty, to them as well as to the whites, is for the right of regulating this question to be lodged with the States—just as Mr. Jefferson, who had always been in favor of emancipation, insisted that it should be so lodged. Our people, by all proper and practical instrumentalities, can be left to control the next black vote, as far as possible, without the compromission of either principle or dignity. Not from any fears arising on this scoro do we oppose negro suffrage. Wo oppose tho principle upon which it is sought to bo con sidered as an established fact. This principle involves all that is essential for tho preservation of our fresdom. • There is a good deal of mere passion in the cry that this is a “White Man’s Government.” Tho troth is that it was not thought, at the time of its formation, that negroes, Indians and sav ages generally would ever be clothed with poli tical rights nnder it There is little donbt of that Still the principles on which it was found ed looked really to no race or color; they were broad and catholic; they embraced all peoples fit for self-government.

Almost as much as Hawkins ville. A man named Joe Reeves was killed, Wed nesday, near Cartersville, by a rock falling on him, while being raised by a derrick. The Athens Watchman gives the particulars of the killing near that place, on Thursday, of W. EL Puryear, by his son-in-law, Wm. H. Jones. It appears that the two had a quarrel, and afterwards Puryear found Jones in a small room and advanced upon Mm with a chair in a threatening maimer. As there was no means of retreat, Jones seized a loaded rifia and warned Puryear not to advance. The warning being neglected, Jones discharged the gun, shooting him through the head, of which wound be died instantly. Ptuyear was drinking, and had been abusing Ms family and Mrs. Jones. Jones surrendered himself immediately, but was not committed on account of insufficient evidence.

In the discharge of this Episcopal function this General Assembly now addresses you upon a matter of -fundamental - importance, which hjia- supremely engaged its own attention daring its present sessions in the city of Lonisville. Yon have been aware, for a twelvemonth past., of an overtnre;from the Old Sohool Assembly, North, adopted at its session in 18G9, tendering salutations to ns and expressing the desire of par anion with them at no distant .day. This overture was virtually.superseded by the fusion vvMofi subsequently took place between, the two great Rreebyterian branches North into one or ganization. This united body, sitting contempo raneously with ourselves, in Philadelphia, has passed a resolution appointing a committee of conference to act with a similar committee which they invite ns to appoint, who shall joint-' ly discuss the difficulties existing between the two bodies and prepare the way for .a permanent and fraternal correspondence. This proposition was conveyed to ns by a special delegation; con sisting of Rev. Drs. J. 0. Backus and EL J. Van Dyke and tho Hon. W. E. Dodge—gentlemen of the highest character trail personally most ac ceptable to US—who discharged their delicate mission in a spirit and manner which made the most pleasant impression of their courtesy as well as ability. In response to tois proposition, this General Assemblyhas agreed, in tho spirit of concilia tion and Christian kindness, to appoint the committee of conference which was desired,and then, in the form of instructions to the same, has laid down the principles which should con trol tho whole matter,, and npon which alone any correspondence on onr part would be possi ble. It may perhaps appear to you, and it will doubtless be so represented by others, that a proposition so simple as that of conferenco for the . adjustment of difficulties might have been left unembraced by any antecedent enunciation of what tho Assembly regards as the obstruc tions to fraternal and official correspondence.— It is precisely this wMcb we desire yon to under stand, as well as the reasons which impelled ns to the course we have pursued. The reflective and thoughtfnl amongst you will at once receg- nizo that, in diplomatic intercourse, the first Step is always the most important. .’Ibis this that determines all the future and dependent negotiations; and, however nnobstrusive the in itiatory measure may appear to be, it is often pregnant with concealed results of vast magni tude. This is pre-eminently true in the case before ns. It was incumbent npon us to watch narrowly, lest, in the very opening of negotia tions, wo might incautiously surrender the prin ciples wo hold, with slipping from onr grasp, we might never be able to recover. The overtnre from the Northern Assembly was based npon the fatal assumption that mntnal grievances existed, in reference to wMch it be came necessary to arbitrate. This assumption is precisely what we cannot truthfully concede. Our records may bo searched in vain for a single act of aggression, or a single unfriendly declaration, against the Northern chnrch. "We have assnmed no attitude of hostility to ward it. In not a single case has there been an attempt to wrest from them their chnrch property. In not a single case has there been hesitation in receiv ing their members into our commnnion upon the face of their credentials, amonst the hundreds who have come to make their homo with us since the war. In not one instance has there been exhibited a spirit of retaliation in regard to any of those very measures instituted against ourselves by the Assembly of 18G5, and by sub sequent Assemblies. "Whatever obstructions may be in tho way of ecclesiastical fellowship were not created by ns, and we conld not allow ourselves to be placed in the false position before the world of parties who had been guilty of wrong to the Northern Church. Having placed nothing in tho way of Christian fraternity, there was nothing for ns to remove. Whilst, therefore, in Christian cour tesy wo were willing to appoint a Committee of Conference, it was necessary to guard against all misconstruction and misrepresentation by instructing our commissioners to remember this fact, and restricting them to the duty of simply reporting and expounding what we considered indispensable to an honest correspondence, •which should not, by its insincerity and hollow ness, be an offense to our Divine Master. Inasmuch as we bad never been aggressors against the peace, security and prosperity of the Northern Church, and had not undertaken to approach them with proposals of any sort, Chris tian candor required us, as tho party approached, to state exactly the difficulties wMch did embar rass this question of correspondence. Without going into much detail or multiplying the speci fications, these wero summed up under four heads; the significance and importance of wMch we -would have yon to appreciate. It most be remembered then that in 18G1 the organization of the Sonthem chnrch was com pelled by what are known as the “Spring Reso lutions,” which committed the Old School As sembly, with which we were at that time con nected, to a particular political theory, and complicated the chnrch at once with the State. The necessary effect of this political legislation by the Assembly of 1861 was to force the entire Southern constituency ont of that connection, who were compelled in their disorganized con dition at once to integrate in the Sonthem As sembly, which was soon afterward formed. The earliest Deliverance of this onr own body was the assertion of the non-secnlar and non-politi cal character of the Chnrch, as the Kingdom of Jeans Christ, spiritual in its nature and mission, and entirely separate from and independent of the State. And in subsequent deliverances—as those of tbe Assembly of 18G5, at Macon, and the two utterances of the Assembly of 18GG, at Memphis, and the formal acceptance of the statement of dootrines and principles of the Synod of Kentucky on the subjeot, by the As sembly of 18G7, at Nashville—the supreme court of the Southern Chnrch has, with singular steadfastness, testified for the same great troth. Upon this very issue we became an organized Church, as distinct from that ont of whose bosom we had been throat by the assertion and operation of the contrary and Erastian doctrine that the Chnrch might rightfully intermingle her jurisdiction with that of the Commonwealth. Through several consecutive years, both branch es of the’now United Assemblies persisted in tbe utterances of political dogmas, whiob, whether true or false, they were inMbited by the word of God and by their own statute laws therefore, that we can hold “DO official oorres- the very endhelfiln vtewln th# separation.

Which was forthcoming, of course.' from pronouncing in their ecclesiastical cham bers. Theso unlawful utterances remain un- canceled npon the records of both the courts now amalgamated into one. No disavowal of them has been made, as of words incon siderately uttered in times of Mgh excitement No counter declaration has been filed, gather ing up the sacred Troth of God in a new proclamation of the spirituality and indepen dence of that Kingdom wMoh is not of this world. The attempt, we are aware, has been made to relieve the pressure of these melancho: ly facts by faintly retorting the accusation against our own body. But we challenge the world to place the two records side by side in the severity of contrast. No ingenuity of so- phistry oan transmute into political dogmas the scant allusions to the historical reality of a great struggle then pending, or the thankful recogni tion, in the middle of a paragraph, of the unan imity with whioh an invaded people rose to the defense of their hearthstones and the graves of their dead; or the pastoral counsels addressed to the members and youth of our own chorohes, passing through the temptations and perils of the<camp and the field; or the half hour spent in prayer for a land bleeding under the iron heel of war; or even the incidential declaration in a narrative to stand by an institution of the country, a traditional inheritance from our fa thers. Even though, from the ambiguity of hu man language, these chance references may not have been always discreetly expressed, the most that a just criticism could pronounce‘is that they are inconsistent with the judicially pro nounced principle upon which the Southern As* sembly entered upon with its troubled career. And when' exaggerated to their largest propor tions by all the prejudices of bitter partisanship, they dwindle into motes and specks by the side of those elaborate and colossal deliverances, re peated each year through formal committees, and exalted into solemn testimonies oo-ordinate with the doctrines or religion and of faith,wMch disfigure the legislation of both the Northern Assemblies through successive years. It will thus be seen that in the providence of God the Southern Church has been made the special witness for the crown and kingdom of our Lord when both were practically disowned; and tha c question to be determined by any of the baser | which the negroes were to”vote in Kent county and meaner passions of human nature.

We denounce it as a libel. We affirm, what every man of common intel ligence knows, that there is not a State in tbe Union where the right of colored men to vote is not admitted, and where both parties do not seek to avail themselves of the votes of negroes, just as- they do of white votes. We expose this bill to the contempt of all fine lovers of their country and its peace, as on attempt to create the impression and belief that the black man is to be defrauded of bis elective franchise by every device that can be resorted to—an imputation that is as perfectly gratuitous as it is mischievous.
