MACON, NOVEMBER 1870.
Baxalue’K Treason.
Pnblio opinion in Europe seems rapidly crys-
toJiring to a verdict of “guilty of treachery
aaalnst Marshal Bazaine, for his surrender of
Metz. It is not alone Gambetta and the. french
Government that thus brand him but the press
and people of other disinterested nations also.
yfe incline to the opinion that the charge is not
altogether unfounded, and that Prussian seduc
tion and diplomacy have vron what Prussian
arms failed to secure, * What part the ex-Em-
poror may have played in this matter does no
appear, thongh there is every reason to believe
that as Bazatne was a devoted adherent of the
Emperor and felt no particular interest in the
Eepnblic he may not have regarded the surren
der of Metz from tho same standpoint as if
he held it for the Empire. There is evidently
a great mystery about the whole affair, to say
the least of it, and we may scarcely expect to
see it cleared up for some time to come. Tho
people of Moiz, who howled “traitor” after
Bazaine ns he passed through the streets, evi
dently do not need any additional evidence to
satisfy them of the fact.
To llic Voters of Houston County.
Tho young men of Houston propose to meet
next Saturday, November Gth, in the town of
Perry, at nine o’clock r. m., for the purpose of
organizing a Yonng Men’s Democratic Club.
All white men who aro profoundly impressed
with the importance of immediate and prompt
measures for defeating the hellish schemes of
Bollock, Blodgett & Co.’s Radical clique, for
keeping Georgia, the old Empiro State of the
South, under tho galling joke of fraud, theft
■nit oppression ; and all colored persons who
have at heart, the fntnre welfare of their race,
who are desirous or dethroning the combination
of Rnd’colism, that has kept them poor by exces
sive taxation for four long years, are respect
fully solicited to attend and assist in the organ
ization of the said Clnb.
-Up to noon
The Bombardment of Pams. _
yesterday this long expected event bad not
taken place. The morning's news may an
nounce it. The Prussians aro bringing forward
their heaviest guns and* putting them in posi
tion, and will no donbt sooner or later rain shot
into the doomed city. It is filled with people
of every grade and age. If the Prussians throw
bombshells into Paris without first allowing the
womon and children, the aged and sick to
leave, they will be guilty of a crime which
ahonld call down the vengeance of Heaven.
These people have nothing to do with bringing
on wais, and to kill them in battle wonld be
murder.
But aside from this, the bombardment of this
splendid city will be a sight at which civiliza
tion will shrink with horror. France is anxious
to make peace, but Prussia will not even enter
tain a proposition looking to that end. History
may yet hold the German King and his Minis
ter to a fearful account.
Xlie Mayoralty Nomination Monday
Night.
T&'very complimentary manner in whioh
Mr. Win. Allcff was nominated for Major of
thi; el’y, on Monday night, by one of the
largest meetings of voters of both parties ever
assembled in the City H»U, offers, it seems to
neatest for some very seasonable suggestions.:
We are glad to see this unanimity, for it has
much pnblio good, we think, in its germ. The
office of Mayor is not a political one in the strict
sense of that word and there was no earthly
reason why there should have been a contest
over it. Both whites and blacks admit the ne
cessity of Its incumbent being a man of capaci
ty, integrity, impartiality: and firmness, and
these qualities secured, all was secured that
was necessary. If the majority of both colors
believed Mr. Huff was such a man—and it was
very evident they did—their nomination of him
shows both good sense and good feeling, and
we beg to offer our congratulations. They
have, in making a nomination on such grounds,
doho themselves great credit, and certainly
paid the nominee a very high compliment. We
hope for the best results to the interests of the
city from this harmonious, aolion. , ore
Having so snccsssfully hannonized upon ojie_
candidate, wo 6eo no reason why there fckou'd
be any great difficulty in regard to others. The
white and colored voteis seem to have fully un
derstood each other in the matter of this nomi
nation, and perhaps if the hey note was struck
as to others, they may do it again. It is true
that similar efforts at harmony, heretofore, have
not been so successful,- but a failure to secure
it does not mike it any the less desirable. The
manner of Mr. Huff’s nomination may suggest
a reconsideration of past action, and accom
plish the desired purposo at last. The white
eilizens in their ward meetings last week made
eveiy effort to secure'just such a result as was
witnessed Monday night, but without success.
Ret those who. refused in the ward meetings to
act upon tho principles so heartily supported
by them on Monday night, take the initiative,
now, in extending and strengthening that pnp-
ciplo. If the colored voters of Macon do not
care to see politics made an issue in the selec
tion of purely local officers—and they certainly
put themselves on that platform in the Mayor
alty nomination—they have a splendid opportu
nity of proving, beyond dispute, their faith by
their works. Tho white voters of tho city, in
such of tho wards as have held meetings, cer
tainly proved theirs. It is neither expected
nor desired l<y thoso who knew their action and
appreciated its motive, that theyshonld subject
themselves a second time to the mortifioation of
failure. ; :: ~ r Af. .
The New York Star has found a new sensa
tion, and is creating considerable excitement
among its readers. In its Sunday edition it
publishes a full list of tho marriages for the
preceding week, giving the names, residences,
and ages of the parties. In a large number of
cases the bride was the oldest—the most ex
treme instance being that of “Christian Berger,
52, and Catharine Renter, 48.’’ Its column of
births is also very interesting; the name of tho
mother and the sex of the child are given, to
gether with tho weight of the latter whenever
attainable. In one case there were triplets, as
follows: “Mary Ah earn, wife of a laborer, of
Fonrth Avenue, between 121st and' 122nd
afreets, triplets, all boys, weighing, respective
ly, G lbs. 3 oz., 5 lbs. 8 oz., and C lbs. 4 oz ; do
ing well.”
Cheerful.—A St. Louis correspondent of
tho Nbw York Tribune writes the mournful
news that McClurg, the regular Radical candi
date for Governor, will certainly he defeated
by Gra'z Brown—bolter—who is supported by
the Democrats, and that tho Radicals •will lose
the Legislature and probably the whole Con
gressional delegation. We have not read a
more cheerful paragraph in a week.

The Relief Law—Important Decision.—
The Constitution, of Monday afternoon, has
the following paragraph tonching a decision
that day m-tdoin Fnlton Superior Court.
In the Snpreme Court of Fnlton county, to
day, His Honor John L. Hopkins, presiding, in
the case of James F. McClure vs. D. H. 8ilver
& Co., it was determined by the court, and so
aummiu-.d. that the first section of the Relief
Law of 1870, in requiring an affidavit that all
taxes have been paid on the debt sned on, is a
denial of a remedy to suitors in court, and will
not be enforced by thi3 court.
J. M. Calhoun A Son for the plaintiff.
L. E. Bleckley for the defendants.
It is not difficult to imagine why Forney
dreads the publication of what he calls “private

can see no use in “privato letters” excepting
as the means of betraying a friend or disgrac

A EAUonAni.it thing took place at a revival
meeting somewhere in Mississippi not long
since. Tho minister noticed a seedy-looking
chap in one of the seats, looking as thongh he
needed religion, or a gcod square meal. So he
stepped up to'him and asked him if he was a
ohriatiau., “No sir,” said he, ‘Tam the editor
of the Radical paper in this place.” “Then in
the name of God let ns pray,” replied the de
voted minister.—Bay St. Louie Gazette.
Brown paper parcels containing dead babies,
are literally scattered about London and its en
virons. A little girl terribly mutilated was
found a few days ago at a place called Layton,
close to the metropolis, whioh was tho third
child found within three weeks. What with its
wars, murders, and baby farming, Europe must
not talk too much abont civilization yet awhile.
In an exhibition for the aid of the families of
wounded soldiers, now open at' Brussels, are
two life-sized caricature portraits of the ex-
Emperor and the King of Prussia. The first
has a card stock in the corner marked, “The

on the second is inscribed, “The property of
Count Bismarck."
The War—When Will It End ?
Nothing which oconrs to ns to-day wouldmore
likely interest our readers than speculations
about the close of tho war between Prussia and
France. We are vitally, interested in its early
termination. Tho cotton crop of 1870 is rapid
ly slipping from,our hands at a far less figure
than it would bring if profound peace reigned
throughout the world. And what is worse still,
it is scarcely commanding a sufficient amount
to pay the cost of its production. Although a
littlotselfish, still this is our principal interest
in that struggle, and therefore nothing could be
brought to us over the wire3 more interesting
than news of peace. Cotton would at ones
bound upward to at least a remunerative figure,
the financial pressure now sorely trying ns
would be lifted, and a general feeling of cheer
fulness take the place of tho present despon
dency. ‘.J l{
We do not sea how the war can continue much
longer. BothaideB went into it upon such a
gigantic scale as to warrant quick exhaustion.
The greater tho armies and the expenditures,
the sooner peace comes, generally. We do not
see how France, particularly, oan hold out very
much longer, unless tho war resolves itself into
desultory fighting on guerilla tactics. Of
course that kind of warfare can be prolonged
for an indefinite number of years. The situa
tion there is this: All the trained soldiers of
Napoleon have either been filled, captured or
betrayed into the hands of tho enemy. The
country between Paris and the Belgian and
German frontiers, including the colossal forts
and fortified positions, have been conquered,
The chief army of the Republic, the only force
competent to make any show of resistance, is
looked up within the walls ot^Pari, surrounded
and hemmed in by a force of at least five hun
dred thousand men—the conquerors of McMa
hon and Bazaine. "Nothing aiiozc of a miracle
can save Paris and this army. There must be
fifteen, hundred thousand citizens and soldiers
beleaguered in that city. They only Lave a limi
ted amount of food, and sooner or later, must
eapitul tte. We do not see how it is possible
for the Republic to raise an army of sufficient
strength to relieve them.; 1 Much is expected
from the rigors^of winter.' But France has a
mild climate—much more so than that of Gor-
many—and any hope of .relief from'this cause
cannot be rationally indulged. We are, there
fore, obliged to reluctantly conclude that Paris
will fall, and that, too, in a very short while.
And then Germany will offer peace. The terms
will bo hard—nay, humiliating to the last de
gree, but Franco, prostrate at the feet of the
conqueror, will have no other alternative than
to accept them.
Two Grand TLougUts About Lee.
Dr, B. M. Palmer, of New Orleans, the cele
brated Presbyterian Divine, perhaps tho ablest
master of words, and one of the ablest thinkers
in this oT any other country, in a eulogy deliv
ered on Lee, Uses the two following 'striking
thoughts, Tho latter is exquisite, and wili bear
immortality: Wuila
VI accept Robert E. Lee as the true type of
the American man and Southern gentleman. A
brilliant English writer has well remarked, with
a touch of philosophy, that when a nation is
rushing to destruction, the whole force of the
nation will shoot up in one grand character
like the aloe which blooms and stands for a
hundred years, then shoots up in one single
sprout; and wherever civilization has worked
revolutions it is possible to place the finger on
individual men who are the exponents of the
nation’s character, after which others, thongh
less noble perhaps, have nevertheless been
fashioned. That gentleness and courtesy, that
perfect moderation, that self-command which
enabled him to be so self-possessed amidst the
most tiyiDg circumstances in his career, clothed
him with the httiule-.s attribute of a gentleman,
and a character Mich as that of the purest wo
man was nnited ’ in him with that, massive
strength, endurance and power, which gave to
the people whom he led such momentous
strength in the long straggle through which he
passed.
“Sir, there is a unity in the grapes as they

Wonderful Cropping,
Of all tho territory of Colorado, comprising
some C8,000,000 acres, only about 6,000,000 is
watered from natural sources, and irrigation is
therefore a necessity. This costs a great deal
•f time, money and labor, bat the results seem
to amply compensate. We have rarely read of
more snccessfnl. production anywhere. The
New York Times in an article on this subject,
says:
We learn, for instance, that a Mr. Magnes,
whose farm is on the South Platte, near Denver,
raised, in 1869, ninety bushels of wheat on one
acre of ground, sixty-five on another, and five
hundred and fifty bushels on ten acres of an
other farm. Mr. T. G. Anderson raised ninety
bushels of oats on one acre. Mr. Wm. Hon
ing, on the Fnrgatoire, twelve miles below
Trinidad, raised six hundred and forty bushels
of oats on eight acres. Close by the same spot,
Mr. Rankin raised two hundred and fifty bushels
of onions on half an aore. The Governor of
the Territory has lately declared in pnblio that
he has seen ninety-three bushels of wheat raised
on one acre, two hundred and thirty-two bushels
“English Excelsior” on four acres, and one
hundred and sixty-six bushels of “Black Swed
ish” on two acres; one thousand bushels of
potatoes on three acres—fifty-four potatoes
making the bushel, and weighing fifty-nine and
one-half pounds. Onions planted in a hot bed,
and raised ont of doors afterwards, jrielded also
one thonsond bushels to the acre. From one
pound of seed-barley one hundred and ten
pounds were produced. The average yield of
grains and vegetables Gov. McCook publishes
as follows: ' Wheat, thirty-eight bnshels to the
acre ; oats, fifty-five bnshels; corn, thirty; po
tatoes, one hundred and fifty to two hundred;
onions, two hundred and fifty, and beans thirty
bnshels.
The Last Kick at the Dead Lion.

AN INSULT TO THE MEMOBY OF WASHINGTON,
To the Editor of the Tribune.
Sm:—As I learn from a resolution recently
offered by the Faculty of Washington College,
Virginia, it is proposed so to amend the ohar-
tor of that institution as “toexpreaa in fit con
junction the immortal names of Washington,
and Lee, whose lives were so similar in their
perfect renown.”
I believe that I express the sentiments of tho
loyal millions of this land when I say that this
resolution is a gross insult to the memory of
“tne Father of his Country," and that to con
summate this iniquitous proposition would be
to outrage the patriotic feelings of the nation.
However rebel sympathies or even charitable
ness may seek to palliate the crimes of the
dead rebel, it still remains a fact that- he was a
perjured traitor, and his name will be more fit-
ly associated with that of Jeff. Davis than with
that of the great and patriotic Washington.
'Tft aiOQii Truth.
Next York, October 21, 1870.
Mb. Lett, the editor of the London Tele
graph, was recently blaok-balled in the London
Reform Olnb, notwithstanding the faet that he
derives an income of £60,000 a year from his
paper, and that be has one of the handsomest
residences, one of the handsomest wivea and
the finest horses in London.
Why Don’t They Publish It?
We want to know why the honest papers at
Atlanta don’t publish the list of appropriations
made by.the late Agency? It will be a melan
Choly satisfaction'to the people to see of just
how much they have been robbed, and to mark
the men who aided and abetted the deed. We
hope the Constitution,- at least, will make on extra
effort to get the document and make it public.
We believe it will furnish ample ammunition
for a successful campaign against the plunder
ers, and we want to use it. North Carolina
was redeemed upon the issue of the audacious
robberies perpetrated by the Holden gang, and
we believe a proper showing up of the even
more sweeping spoliations of the Bollock gang
will redeem Georgia.
< We do not think it necessary to say much on
National politics in this canvass. Let the Nation
save itself—onr dnty and onr safety is first
to save the State. The Demoorats of Georgia
keep perfect step and are in hearty accord with
their brethren of the Union, bnt this is
their private quarrel and they must settle
it in the shortest and most practicable way.
We must not allow Bnltock A Co. to divert
attention from their wrong-doings by drag
ging in national issues. Make them stick
to State issues. Bring them to book for the
infamons manner in which they have squand
ered the people’s money, and brought the
Qtate to the verge of bankruptcy. Make them
explain the items in the shameful bill of ex
pense they have run up within tho past year.
Force them to say who has been benefitted by
this wholesale spoliation, and what the dirty
work was that received such compensation. Put
them in the dock and compel them to answer,
or plead gnilty.
This is onr idea as to how the canvass should
be conducted, and we hope to havo the co-opera
tion of all good and true men in it. ’
The Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune writes: Schenok has not only the
mortifioation of being beaten at the polls, bat
he will incur, it is said, the greater. mortifica
tion to a prond spirit of contesting Campbell’s
seat in Congress on some ground or other. This
is bad for Schenck. To join the motley band
of coni estanta—Sypher, Covode and all that rag
ged gang—ragged in shame, in pocket, in char
acter—who hang around Congress in the des
perate thirst for office or revenge and button*
hole members and have an expensive election
report pnblished abont them, and bom and bnm
till they go through the eye of a needle, and
then are sure'to be laid ont the next term by
their contemptuous constituents. Of course,
we shall see among the contestants Daniel
Morrell, the sample merchant and commercial
traveller, wearing his bine coat, twitching his
thnmbs, and fall of a burning itch to vote him
self some subsidy. He will stand at the bar
amongst the confidence men, crying to .the party
majority the msgio sesame word of “Steel!
Steel! ” Bat there will be no such heed for him
to explain his object.

in this latitude and is upon trial. Wo take it
that it will be the organ of what is called the
advanoed ideas and freest thought of New
England. From a very hasty examination' we
are satisfied that though it may be heretical' it
will oertainly never be weak. Intellectual
weakness is not a characteristic of the class in
whose interests it is pnblished, no matter how
many other errors they'may be credited with.

Death of P. G. M. James L. Haupt.— Our

of tho white china spit-boxes.placed upon the

parts out of the window, leaving the balance of

cooler. Shortly after a verdant specimen from
the rural districts emerged from one of the

porter, “t went j-five cents, if juu please,” at
the samo time starring to procure fresh towels.

and commence his ul)!nti»n with a vigorous
earnestness that proved bis desire to relieve

The Radical Meeting on Saturday.—The
political gathering of the Radicals on Saturday
last was rather a slim affair. .Not more than one
fonrth of the negroes of the county were pres
ent. Jeff. Long was tho first speaker. He
dwelt at IODgth npon the beautiesof Radicalism
and the dangers of Democratic ascendancy. He
told the negroes that if the Democrats were to
get in power .again, they wpuld be remanded
b.ck to slavery; that tho Democrats were their
enemies, aqd the Republicans their only.friends;
and that to secure their liberties they must per
petuate the Radical power. Ho hopes that
there are no Democratio negroes in Monroe
county, bnt if any, h« wants them ostraoised to
the fullest extent. “You must,” said ho, “ex
clude them from conanunnion tabjas in your
churches, and should any wish to join yonr
church turn them away, for none are worthy of
the rites of tho church, or a'seat in Heaven,
unless they belong to and vote with tho Radi
cal parly." Jeff was extremely vindicative
againEt the white race throughout his entire
harangue. Abuse was his mam weapon, and
he used all tho language at his command, to ar
ray tho negroo3 against the whites. His con
cluding remarks contained many promises to
tho negroes of what good he. would do should
he be elected to Congress, and he said he coaid
not bo defeated under the present election laws.
The next speaker was A. EL Gaston, an inde
pendent candidate for Congress, and an espe
cial opponent of Long. He said he was a Rad
ical, and wonld havo been the nominee of the
party if false statements had not been made in
the convention. Bnt as a committee had wait
ed on him that morning, and asked him to
withdraw from tho field, he wonld do so if Jeff,
would take hack what he had said in a commu
nication pnblished in the Macon papers. Jeff,
promised a retraction. Gaston said ha did not
come here to abase Democrats, or any one else
—he thought every man had a right to an hon
est opinion, and he thought more of a man, let
him be white or black, who wonld think and
act tot himself. If" a colored man was a demo
crat, he had no less respect for him. He said
that Jeff, had-given the colored people bad
oonnse!—that the war in Europe, and not the
white aristocrats, as Jeff, asserted, caused the
decline in the prior of cotton.
George Clower was the laBt speaker. He said
he appeared to give the people an account of his
stewardship : ‘I want to tell you feller-citizens
and fellor wimmen, what I done. Yon see all
decs papers; well dees is bills I had past in de

The Prospect.—Tho active efforts put forth
to nnite the colored men in support of the Radi
cal cause aro sadly at fault in this county. An
instance in point: In one militia district ten
colored men have already sigi ified their inton-
tion to vote the Democratic ticket. It is more
than probable that a like number will-be found
in the other districts—giving a total of ICO col
ored voters in the oonnty. Now, as the negroes
on Saturday formally declared it to be their
purpose to cut loose from, the scalawags and
stand by their own race, they necessarily drive
from their support these malcontents.

IIoyp the South Carolina . Radicals
Carried the Election.
The Charleston Courier, of Monday, says:
Every day there reaches us fresh intelligence
of the fraudulent manner by which the recent
election has been carried. These are flagrant
and sufficient to set aside the whole election, if
there was any tribunal, to. which justice and
right could make its appeal.
In this county alone, outside of tho city,
armed colored bands, styling themselves the
“militia,” surrounded the polls and insisted
upon inspecting the tickets of the voters, and
thus, to a great extent, either drove off those
of the colored race who wished to vote the Re
form ticket, or intimidated them into the sup
port ot the Radical nominee. The few white
men present were powerless. They voted in
peril. In some oases they were not permitted
to vote at all.
This was the case at the Wappataw Church
poll. And so with others. Colored women, in
some parts of the State, were allowed to vote
for their sick husbands. In many portions
neither managers or voters were sworn. Iu
some counlies more voteS Were cast than malts
over twenty-one years of bgo, as taken by the
recont United States census. And we donbt
not, .when the returns are all in, it will be found
that where the Radicals had the supremacy, to
produce the result, neatly every colored person
over seventeen yeara of age was permitted to
vote. Thus, with intimidation on tho one hand
and the utmost license and franu, it is not as
tonishing that the Reform p'aity should have
been defeated.
Popular Feeling in France.
The German war correspondents make fre
quent reference to the intensely hostile feeling
of tho French population. Herr Wachenbasen
of the Cologne Gazette says: “That at Nancy
the billeting of the soldiers has been suspended,
in consequence of murders committed on them
in their quarters. There, as in every part of
France occupied by invaders, tho hatred of the
people is daily increasing, and the foolish hope
of driving ont the enemy by a national rising is
fanned by emissaries of the Republic. Six
thousand men are said to bo alreadyunder arms
concealed in the woods, and commanded by a
General. As yet there have been few outrages
of this kind, bnt a gendarme has been
murdered at Nancy, and postilions aro fired
on. ‘If the guerrilla warfare, against which
we know how to defend ourselves really com
mences, it will flame np : in every cor
ner.’ In the vicinity of Metz, according to
another writer, soldiers have a second time
been fired on at MarioulY, and in an adjacent
village the road was blocked np with’ heavy
stones. A fine was imposed, which had the
next day to be increased fivefold, as the stones
were still pot removed. A ohange of the posi
tion of the troops hefore Metz recently gave
the people the impression that the Germans
were retreating,- and that MoMabon was ad
vancing from the Vosges, with 200,000 men.
Nobody believes in the. magnitude of the
Frcnoh defeats, and though those who saw the
long trails of prisoners pass by have misgivings,
they-are not without hope of a turn of fortune.
Metz, it is-insisted, can. hold out. not only
months but years, the provisions being on so
large a soale, and the heroism ot .'the army and
townspeople being so great. '
“A few (lays ago a woman offered some
brandy for sale, attracting a group of soldiers
ronnd her, but it, was found to be poisoned, and
she was arrested. The writer regards the atti-
tuda of the people as a cogent reason against
the annexation of Metz and its vicinity. An
other correspondent states that at. Miilhausen,
where the railway station is occupied by tho
Germans, thoy do not enter the town unless
armed to the teeth. They have been fired on
frequently, but at present only one Uhlan has
been killed. The artisans are strongly inclined
to Communism, and before the entry of the
troops had demolished the Town Hall. The
rest of the people, little as they like the Ger
mans, are consequently glad of their presence.
An officer writes from Ohampey: “We are no
longer spre of our lives; an army goedarme
has just been shot before our door, and when
an officer harried out to look for the criminal
two bullets whistled past his ear. The offend
ers unfortunately could not be discovered.’ ”
Southern Literature.
In noticing “ ’’he Memories of Fif/y Years,"
edited by Colonel Wm. R. Sparks, of Macon,
recently re-published id London;:a work giving
“brief biographical' sketches of distinguished
Amerloans and anecdotes of remarkable men,
interspersed with &otnes and incidents bocorxing
during a long life of observation," ohiefly.sjent
in Louisiana, the Saturday Review says that
Southern statesmen, professors, physicians
and thinkers have contributed » fair share, to
the more sulidand lastingdepartmenfs of Amer
ican authorship; th.itno politician or.sUtesman
in the'North has left behind literary remains
more valuable than those of Calhoun, and med
ical and'natural science have been not lew deep
ly indebted to Southern than Northern writers.
Tim-Review-then proceeds: rlnl aisijL -
The questions which absorb all attention, all
thought, all passion in that country, are ques
tions on which tho best and wisest of her citi
zens—the men whom .thf ir ck.imtrymen wonld
most gladly h >ar—feel it needful to ho reticent.
The great soldiers of the Sou'h—sncli . f them
f.s have survived the war—refuse, in the’.r own
vindication, to rekindle the still .red-hot embers
of national hatred, and leave it to their ene
mies to tell tho story of the conflict; a story
from which bo ingenuity, can altogether efface
the bii'liant traces of Southern daring, devo
tion and heroism. Of Southern statesmen cne
ulone has held a position which enabled him to
speak with some degree of freedom in face of
the victorious North ; and ' MrH-Alexander H.
Stephens has contributed to the history of the
war tho best account of its remote onuses, the
most complete and searching investigation of
i s constitutional aspects, that has yet appeared.
For tho re.st, it seems as if the" South bad not
yet revived the spirits and the tastes necessary
ioliletary fertility ; scarcely hero and there a
fiction, a biography, a work of some; Safe and
neutral character, appears to claim a South
ern anthorsLip. The latest of these is the one
now before us—Mr. W. H. Spark’s “Memories
of Fifty Years.” And even here we observe the
painful, unnatural. reserve on tie subject that,
must be uppermost in the mind of the writer—
a f ither wuo.-c sons have perished in the war-
fallen imder tho Confederate flag. Of tho war
alone he sajs little or nothing, while of every
previous' political ^agitation or -party fend in
which ho or his friends bore a part, he has a full
history’ to give and numerous illustrative and
amusing anecdotes to relate. Tbofreedomof per
sonal demription'and anecdote which American
writers assume—and whioh Mr. Sparks, though
ho doesnotabnseit after the tool requent fashion
of theNew YorkandNewEnglandscribblers, has
borrowed from them—enables a careful ob
server-. with a good memory to serve np'out of,
his own individual recollections, especially if
ho has enjoyed the acquaintance of pnblio men
and has l»een behind the scenes of public life,
a pi quant' and varied intellectual treat. There
is also much interest iu the description of the
various classes and races of the South, with
their distinct qualities, tendencies end social
and domestic manners. We have the gentlemen
of the old Virginia families, much resembling
the English country gentlemen of the days of
tho great war, and taking, wherever they may
settle throughout the Southwest, a position of
leadership and influence; tho high spirited, fiery
chivalry of South Carolina, approaching rather
to the type of the French nobles of the
ancien regime, quarrelsome and puncti
lious, but thorougly brave and high-minded at
heart, with a State pride as arrogant and pro
voking, but as worthily sustained ss the na
tional p ida of France under the Grand Mon-
arque; the homelier natives of Georgia and
North Carolina, and the French Creoles of Lou
isiana, considerably resembling the Kabifahs of
Lower Canada, courteous, honest, notable rath
er for their personal and family : virtues, than
for their energy and enterprise, : .bttl forbidden
by the infections vigor of their American asso
ciates,'and perhaps by a more congenial cli
mate, to fall into the staguation of their North
ern antitypes.” '

road.
Pebby, Ga., November 1st, 1870.
Quite a number of the most prominent citi
zens of Houston met at the Court-house at ten
o’clock this.. morning, and on motion of Rev.
B. F. Tharpe, John T. Cooper, E.-q., was called
to the chair, and on motion of E. L. Felder,
Edwin Martin, Jr., was requested to act as
Secretary.
At the request of the Chairman, Hon. C. C
Duncan read the charter of the company,'which
was granted by the late Legislature. He also
stated the object of the meeting, which was to
open the books of subscription' as provided in
said charter, preparatory to a permanent or
ganization on Monday next, and gave a synop
sis of tho provisions of the bills, granting Sta'e
and county aid to the building of the road.
Ray. B. F. Tharpe then.made a motion that the
books be opened immediately to receive sub-
sciip'ious for stock in said road.
Mr. Duncan moved as a snbriitole, that a
committee of six be appointed by the chair
man, two at-Fort Valley, two at Perry, and two
at U lyiH-svilie, to open said books of subscrip
tion and to solicit the same, which substitute
was accepted and adopted. The following gen
tlemen were appointed as members of the com
mittee : For Fort Valley, D. H Houser and J.
W. Mathews; Perry, C. C. Duncan and Wm.
BrnnsoD; Haynesville, D. W. Brown and J.'G
Brown.
Judge C. N. Rountree then moved that two
members be added to the committee from
Hawkinsville, which motion was carried, and
John H. Pate and J O. Jt lks were -appointed
from that place.. At the request of the meet
ing ttev. B. F. Tharpe made an address, stat
ing the benefit'that such an enterprise would
be to the county at large, (he resources of the
county to make the same profitable, eto His
remarks were received with much favor and
approbation.

The Herald thinks Senator Morton declines
the mission to England for the reason that if
he accepted it, the Democratio Legislature just
elected in Indiana, would choose a Democrat
(ex-Senator Hendricks) to the vacanoy in the

Morton is not disposed to render. Here, then,
we have a man whose devotion to his party can
not be questioned; for the honors of the British
mission are next to those of the Cabinet, and
the salary is $17,500 a year while the pay of a

Employing Freedmen.
A correspondent of tho Columbus Son says:
The newspapers are teeming with accounts
of freedmen not exerting themselves to save
the present crop of cotton in the West, in Mis
sissippi, Alabama and parts of Georgia. Some
attribute this dilatoriness to politios; others to
the low price of cotton. The true cause, in my
opinion, is neither politics or the price of cot
ton, but is to be fonnd in the rninous system of
“cropping” with freedmen. This “cropper”
system is the Pandora’s box from whence is
sues all of the evils that now affiiet the plant
ing community. _ Rid the country of tbia bane-
system, and in lien adopt the wages system ex*
clnsively; diversify yonr crops, and all these
complaints about loss of crops and idleness will
cease.
A few men in this section had the nerve last
January to hire a few bands for wages, and are
now highly pleased with the result. As an il
lustration of the two systems, I will mention
what has come nnder my observation this year:
My neighbor, Mr. O., worked for wages five
hands. He has made, gathered and ginned
thirty bales of ootton ; more than com cnoogh
to feed the same stock and hands another year;
also, peas, potatoes, 4 and sugar cane enough to
make two or three barrels of syrup. On the
same plantation, Mr. C. had seven “croppers.”
They will make—mark the words now in paren
thesis (they have not gathered)—not more than
fifteen bales of ootton, not half enough com to
feed the Bame stock and hands another year,
no peas, potatoes or cane. The hands under
wages have given Mr. O. no trouble, no an
noyance, nor any cause of complaint, whilst his
“croppers” have been, and are yet, a bitter
pill—a pill that has purged his pocket of several
dollars. Is there a donbt bnt what my friend C.
will kick every “cropper” off of his plantation
next year and work it exclusively by hired
labor ? “Ephraim is not joined to his idols” in
this instance.
