THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 24, 1871.
News Items.
Fibs at Unm Epuisos.—A heavy fire occurred
at Union Springs last Saturday morning, which
destroyed four stores.
A Stable Govkbshskt.—The Hartford Times
says there is no doubt that Grant has at last es
tablished a “stable government”—horse stable.
Cotton tiat.t.tit. yesterday in Liverpool and
New York in conseqnenoe, as wo suppose, of
unfavorable reports from tho growing crop in
America.
Dnotrra in East Tennessee.—Tho Jonesboro
Flag reports that in upper East Tennessee every
thing is parched up by dronth except tte rocks.
Com on uplands will not yield a peck to the
acre. Along the river bottoms, of course, it is
better.
The Gale at Sinxnvn.LE.—IVe seo from the
Wilmington <1 oumal that tho great storm reached
Smithville, at the month of Cape Fear River,
at 11 o'clock on Saturday morning, and all day
Sunday and up to Monday morning, it was
very severe—sinking several vossels—tearing
up trees and rocking tho houses on shore.
Ten Millions Coukteefeit.—The New York
papers estimate that thoro are ten millions of
counterfeit national bank bills in circulation,
and within the past few weeks large numbers of
twenties have been put upon the generous pub-
Iio, so well cxccnted as to bear the strongest
light. If they cannot be detected they will
pass.
Fax.—The Wilmington Journal says that Fry,
of the Atlanta Stale Road Ring, camo out to
that city as a candy makor, but soon forsook
his occupation for the sweet things of Radical
politics, and became Registrar of one of the
wards in that city until ho wont farther Sonth
for better pickings. He is small fry, and we
hope they will pat him in a frying-pan.
Can’t Intebmaubt.—In one of tho miscegena
tion cases in Atlanta, brought before Judgo
Erakine, of tho United States District Court,
the Judge decided on Friday that tho 1707th
section of the Goorgia Code, forbidding whites
and negroes to intermarry, is not ropugnant to
tho XlVth Article of the Constitution of the
United States, or the Civil Rights Bill. Tho
pnrties wero therefore remanded to the custody
of tho jailor of Fulton county.
“National Guauds.”—The Washington Chron
icle says tho “Republicans of tho Sonth are or
ganizing ‘an association’ in the Southern States
to resist the Kn-klnx,” and to bo called the
National Guards. This, we suppose, is the
lineal successor of the “loyal leagues,” getting
ready to revive in 1872 the performances of
18C8— the midnight drills and so on. The pro-
tence of “fighting Ka-klax" is too hollow. The
organization is itself Kn-klnx, and designed
mainly to dragoon the negroes into a solid vote
for Grant.
News raou Atlanta.—An Atlanta dispatch
to the Western papers, dated the 21st, says:
From the best information that can bo bad,
there seems to bo no doubt but that the mem
bers of tho Legislature are determined to im
peach Governor Bnllook, and repudiate the leaso
of the State Road to Messrs. Cameron, Delano,
Scott & Co., and also to repudiate the issue of
all State bonds over and above the amornt au
thorized by law.
Wo will venture to predict that tho approach
ing session of the Georgia Legislature will do
nothing rash on these or aoy other snbjects.
“ Exhoebitant.”—Tho Mobile Advertiser
wants to know and publish the villain’s name
who started the word “exhorbitant” Can't
give the information, bnt know that nine-tenths
or tho compositors religiously believe that ex
orbitant is spolt with an Twitch. We have tried
many years to convinoe them to the contrary,
bnt they will not believe it. Moreover they
would not oall the man a villain, if they knew
him. Thoy would let him off with the milder
stigma of “ villian.” Submit to the inevitable,
Mr. Advertiser, and give it up. It is no new
departure.
Aobicultubal College in Millepoetit.lk.—
Wo print in another place the proceedings of a
large and enthusiastic meeting of the peoplo of
Baldwin in favor of the establishment of on
agricultural oollege in the old capitol. The
Senior is favorably impressed with the idea.
The buildings are there—the location is health
ful and central as to the State, and the soil and
climate admit of a cnltnro as varied, almost, as
the productions of this great State. Indeed, the
soil of Baldwin may be said to bo the represent
ative soil of the largest and most valuable re
gions of Georgia.
Alleged Yellow Feyeh in Chauleston.—
The Atlanta Sun of yesterday says:
We saw yesterday a private letter from Au
gusta in which it was stated that there were sev
eral eases of yellow fever in Charleston, and the
peoplo of Augusta wero somewhat apprehensive
of it extending to their city.
One of our staff beard in Savannah on Sunday
last that a dispatch had been received from
Charleston stating that there had been ten oases
and five deaths from yellow fever in Charleston,
np to last Friday, but he did not pursue the
report to ascertain its accuracy. Wo hope the
gallant oity by the sea is exompt from that
scourge and tho alarm is a false one.
An Omoinal State of Affaihs.—The sheriff
of Bashop eonnty, Texas, calls a meeting of the
citizens in compliance with an order from Gov.
Davis, to ascertain whether they will have mar
tial law declared in that county. Wbat makes
this movement still more strange is that the
grand jury of the county summoned by the
came sheriff, declared in their presentments:
“Oar county presents, so far as we are able to
jndge, as peaceful a condition as before the
war; all seem to show a willingness to abide by
the laws, and at no time has there been a greater
desire to have the laws executed.”
Cotton Chop in the Southwest.—The re
ports from the cotton crop in Alabama, Missis
sippi and Louisiana are generally unfavorable.
In the two latter States the cattorpillar was
webbing np and would 16e out in destructive
force from the 10th to 15th September. The
boll worm, too, was very destructive in some
localities. The papers in Mississippi and
Louisiana were generally predicting about half a
crap. In Alabama the Selma Times says:
Wo have passed our lives here, where the
staple is raised, and we have never known a
year as disastrous, nor have we ever known a
year, in which the damage inflicted by excessive
rain, and then by a continued dry spell is as
great as this has been. We saw on Monday
plantations which have always yielded well, and
which have looked comparatively well up to
date, upon which tho small bolls on the stalk
are literally dried up, while the plant is now
throwing off everything that it onght to make;
and such is the condition of the crop generally
in this section.
On the whole, bad as Georgia will do, we
think she will turn out a belter comparative
crop than Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana or
Texas. Arkansas, West Tennessee and Florida
are said to promiso a fair but lighter yield than
last year. In the other States the deficit will
exceed a third.
The Ohio Canvass —The Courier Journal of
the 22d, publishes a letter from a correspond
ent at Cincinnati, which says a rumor prevails
there that General MoCook, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Ohio, will be compelled
to withdraw from the ticket as he has from the
canvass. It is even said he is partially de
ranged, and that his speeches at Plymouth and
Chillicothe give oolor to this report. It further
says that should McOook withdraw an effort will
l»e made to induce General Ewing to take his
plaoe, but there are doubts of success.
A BLAST FROM A GENUINE BLACK MAN.
Me Nliows Up the Bascalltlei of South Car
olina Carpet-Baggers, Scalawags, and Mu-
Iatle Politicians and Plunderers.
We have had on file for several: days some
extracts from a letter reoently written to
Frederick Douglas, by one Major Dela
ney, a genuine negro well known in that
city. Delaney served in the Federal army as
Major, having boon appointed to that position
by Mr. Lincoln. He has been very prominent
in Radical politics about Charleston and the
sea islands of that State ever since the early
days of reconstruction, and knows all about that
deviltry from beginning to end. Some of these
extracts are capital readmg, and we propose to
print a few of them. And first we have Dela
ney’s description of the instruments used to es
tablish tho thing in Sonth Carolina. He says:
When reconstruction commenced, political
leaders were greatly required, but few to be
had. Southerners (the old masters) studiously
opposed and refused to countenance reconstruc
tion, and the freodmen were fearful and wonld
not have trusted them if tney could have ob
tained their aid.
Those who came with or followed the army,
with a very few native whites, wero the only
available political element to be had to carry
out the measures of reconstruction.
These were readily accepted by the blacks (by
this I include the entire colored people) and the
fullest confidence reposed in them. Some were
or had been officers in the army, some privates,
some sutlers, others peddlers and various
tradesmen, others gamblers, and even pick
pockets, “ hangers-on” and “ bnmmers.” I am
particularly speaking of the whites. Among
these were men of refinement, educated gentle
men, and some very good men; but a large
part of tho moat active were of the lowest
grades of Northern society, negro hRters at
home, who could not have been elected to any
position of honor or trust. Just such men as
burnt down negro orphan asylums and -hung
negro mon to lamp-posts in the Now York riot
of 18C3. In this review I intend to speak
plainly, call things by their right hames, and
look those of whom I speak directly in the face.
Positioned in places of power, profit and
trust, they soon sought by that gutio and decep
tion known only to demagogues, under the ac
ceptable appellations of Yankee, Republican
and Radical, tointrndo themselves into the con
fidence of the blacks, and place themselves at
their head as leaders. So insidiously did thoy
do this that it was not discovered by the few
colored men of intelligence who held places
among them till too late to remedy the fatal
evil.
These demagogues laid the foundation of their
career upon a basis of the most dangerous poli
tical heresy. Deception, lying, cheating, steal
ing, “whatever can be done in politics is fair,”
and to “beat is the duty in a political contest,
no matter wbat means are used to effeot if," are
among tho pernicious precepts of this moral in
fidelity.
Jealous of the few intelligent colored men
among them, they studiously sought to divide
tho blacks, by sowing tho seeds of discord
among them. This was fi militated by prejudic
ing the ignorant against the intelligent. These
men strove and vied each with the other, regard
less of consequences, to place himself in the
load of a oommunity of blacks in both town and
country, which in time was reduced to little
else than a rabble mob of disorder and confu
sion. Trained in the leagues as seifs to their
masters, it became dangerous to oppose the
teachings of these men of mischief. Because,
having been recommended to their confidence
at the commencement of reconstruction, their
experience and knowledge in public men and
matters were too limited to believe anything
against them.
Of tho effect upon the negroos of the evil
counsels of theso creatures, be bears this testi
mony:
To such an extent are they misled that they
regularly trained themselves with fire-arms and
marched in oompanies to political meetings, fre
quently led by miserable white men. Menacing
threatening, abnsing. quarrelling, confusion,
and frequently rioting are common results of
this most disgraceful state of affairs nnder
which we live, all in tho came of Republican
ism.
The effect upon tho people is wonderful.
From n polite, pleasant, agreeable, kindly com
mon people, ever ready and obliging, there is
now to be met with an ill-mannerly, sullen,
disagreeable, unkind, disobliging populace,
seemingly filled with hatred aDd ready for re
sentment. These changes in the character of
the people must have beeu noticed by every in
telligent observer, in contradistinction to their
former excellent reputation. Formerly they
were proverbial for their politeness, latterly
they are noticed for their absence of it. These
people are despoiled of their natural character
istics. and shamefully demoralized by renegade
in traders.
Of how the “pure black men” have been
treated by the Radicals, at Washington, he says:
To another important point I wonld invite
your attention—thnt of the course of the Na-'
tional Government. While distinction in the
rights of citizens on account of “race or color”
is most pointedly prohibited, distinction on ac
count of color is most definitely made by the
government at Washington. J
It is a fact most noticeable in exeentive ap
pointments of colored men, thero are none of
Dure black men, the pure negro race, but all
have been most carefully selected from those
haviDg an admixture of white blood. In neither
of tho departmen‘1 in Washington is there n
single black holding a position above that of
porter or lacquey, while in many, if not all of
them—except the army and navy—there are
those of mixed blood holding positions of clerk
ships—as is jnst and right—and other equally
respectable places. Nor in no appointment re
quiring qualification by cnltnre, in and out of
Washington, is thero a pure black man or wo
man to be found, while many such applications
have been made, but always rejected. This is
no fault of our brown brother, but that of the
government and the misfortune of the blacks.
Under the rallying cry of acting for and repre
senting the “negro” men of every shade of
complexion have attained to places of honor,
profit, trust and power in the party, except the
real negro himself—save such places as he had
the power with which to elect himself—he re
mains to-day as before emancipation, apolitical
nonentity before the governments of the country.
How the “pure black men” are socially ostra
cized by theirmoDgrel and mulatto brethren in
Charleston and elsewhere, he says :
The social relations of the colored people is
another shameful evil, which does more to weak
en their strength, neutralize their effors and
divide them iu politics than even the graceless
intrusion and imposition of white demagogues,
because being of their own household. Still
adhering to an absurdity, a relic of the degraded
past, they cling to the assumption of superiori
ty of white blood and brown complexion. And
to such an extent is this carried, I am told, that
old societies have been been revived and revised,
and absolute provisions made against the ad
mission among them of a pure blooded black.
Fire, military companies, and even churches
and graveyards, it is said, are permanently es
tablished on this basis. In one church at least
no blacks are to be seen, and in another there
is a division line between the blacks and browns
by different seats.
This will do for Delaney. If the “pure black
men”—the real negroes of South Carolina and
elsewherfe, don’t have their eyes opened now,
the job is hopeless.
An Editor in Danger.
Our sage contemporary of the Savannah Re
publican was a passenger from New York, on
the steamship Virgo, during the late hurricane.
We congratulate his beauteous cara spesa up
on the safe return of her liege lord, and the
press of Georgia, that one of its brightest or
naments is not an inhabitant of the coral grot
toes beneath the azure deep, infinitely more at
tractive to the poet than the poor cast-away. A
fellow passenger informs ns that owing to the
drifting of a light-ship from her moorings on
the coast, the steamer lost her reckoning, and
struck heavily twice on the sands, while tho
breakers lifted their angry crests all around.
It was a moment of imminent peril, bnt a
merciful God delivered the staunch ship snd
her precious bnrden from a watery grave, and
she reached her port in safety.
Montgomery Affaibs.—The Advertiser says
five bales of new crop cotton were received on
Saturday and classed as strict low middling.
Chills and fever were prevalent in the city.
Condition ol Hie Crops and Weather.
The crop promiso in Georgia has certainly
not improved within the past ten days.' On the
coast, sea island cotton has been cut off more
than one-half by the late terrific gale, which
whipped off the froit and prostrated the plants.
The weed will now put forth a multitude of suck
ers to the sore injury of the remaining bolls*
Thoso rice fields npon which the harvest flow
had been admitted, will fare very well, as the
stalks of grain were upheld and kept from
falling by the superincumbent water. Where
this flow had been drawn off, however, prepara
tory to cutting, the earth is covered with a
tangled mass of rice, one-half of which can
never be secured.
On the Gulf Road, and in Screven, Burke,
Jefferson and other middle counties, the rust is
rapidly becoming general and very fatal. The
crop in this section is still decidedly better than
in Southwest Georgia, so far as the observation
of the writer extends. Corn and sugar cane
will yield abnndantly, as the former was ma
tured before the drought set in.
Yesterday (Tuesday) another fierce gale from
the east was raging below, with floods of rain,
extending much farther into the interior than
the previous storm.
All along the Central Railroad the fall of water
was very heavy, and the wind at times came in
puffs, blowing great guns. Open cotton and
late fodder must prove a total loss.
At Millen the telegraph operator informed us
that Savannah was visited with another flood.
It is seldom that two such storms Bucceed each
other so rapidly, and planters of the seaboard
are indeed to be pitied. On Sunday and Mon
day, in Savannah, the wind blew fresh from tho
northwest, and fair weather was confidently
predicted.
To-day (Wednesday) the rainnndstorm appear
to be general throughout the State.
TOE GEORGIA PRESS.
Rev. Geo. W. Sparks, a gifted young clergy
man, of Washington county, died last week.
The Sandersvillo Georgian reports the corn
prospect as not very flattering in that county,
bnt hopes enough will be made for home con
sumption. Cotton promises two-thirds of a
crop. Health of the county never better at this
season of the year.
Eatonton is suffering from a scarcity of the
circulating medium. Everybody seems “dead
broke.” Whole families, elsewhere, are down
with the same complaint.
The Putnam county farmers are complain
ing of their cotton throwing off its young
bolls.
Two bales of Sea Island cotton were received
in Savannah, Monday, from Darien.
Ganlden’s saw mill, in Liberty county, was
damaged §5000 by the storm last Friday
night.
The people of Angcutn will vote in October
on the question of enlarging the canal. If the
measure is carried, the Augusta Factory will
build a new mill.
The Cartersville Express says there is a young
lady in Cherokeo county who frequently takes
evening rides upon horseback with a large buck
nigger for a gallant! That young lady is the
daughter of Governor finllock’s superintendent,
who rnns the splendid farm of his Excellency
in the county aforesaid.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Tuesday, re
ports the robbery of a house in Colombia of
$1,200 in greenbacks and $100 in gold. The
thief was a negro named Hilton Johnson, who
made his escape and came to Augnsta, and then
left for Savannah.
Tony Robinson, negro, known as the “cham
pion chicken lifter of the State,” is in hockelety
at Augnsta for lifting seventeen chickens, six
ducks and one goose, last Monday morning,
just before day-dawn. He now smacks his lips
over joys that are fled, in jail, in default of
$2,000 baiL
Henry Pepper, the smartest horse thief who
votes the Grant ticket in the 5th Congressional
district, is boarding in the Waynesboro jail at
present. Pepper is the darkey who stole the
best horse belonging to a party of men who
were stealing upon him in one of his haunts,
not long since.
Two boys were fined $10 each, at Augusta, on
Monday, for shooting birds in the cemetery
with that invention of Satan known as an “Ala
bama sling.” Good.
Within the last three weeks, as we learn from
the Columbus Enquirer, of Tuesday, over 100
persons have joined the Baptist church at
Gerard.
We quote the following from the Enquirer of
Tuesday:
Death of Anoiheis Excellent Lady.—We
regret to learn that Mrs. O. S. Shorter, wife of
Capt. Charles S. Shorter, of Russell county,
Alabama, and daughter of CoL Edward T.
Shepherd, died at the residence of her father,
in Wjnnton, on Satu-day night last
Counterfeit Baptism and Counterfeit
Money.—A well known Baptist minister, who
recently preached a sermon not a thousand
miles from Columbus, in speakiiig of baptism
as practiced by Baptists and Methodists, com
pared the former to gemline and the latter to
spurious notes. A few days afterward a mem
ber of said Church was soliciting contributions
for Chnrch objects, and unwittingly fell among
a erowd of Methodists, who replied to his ap
peal that if their baptism was counterfeit, they
reckoned their money was too, and, as the law
prohibited the circulation of that species of cur
rency, they respeotfully declined to subscribe.
The Brunswick Appeal of Tuesdays:
Accident on the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad.—We regret to learn that a serious
accident occurred on the Biahswicksnd Albany
Railroad on Friday last, near Milwood. The
engine encountering a wash, tamed a complete
somersault, err king the leg of the conductor,
Mr. Stockin, and seriously injuring a fireman,
whose same we have not heard.
The Columbus Sun of Tuesday reports the
presence of the genuine caterpillar on the rich
plantations in Oswiehee Bend.
The Savannah Republicnn of Tuesday says:
Perilous Situation of a Boating Party.—
Among tho incidents of hair-breadth ’scapes
daring tllo recent heavy storm, we have been
famished by one of the party with the following
particulars of the perilous situation of a party
of gentlemen who were caught out in the fear
ful gale of Friday and Saturday lsst:
The party in question, composed of T. W.
MeNish, Major 0. A. Withers, J. A. Abrams,
Esq., and a negro named William Dens, started
on Thursday on a fishing excursion. They made
Green Island, where they stopped awhile Thurs
day, and started thence for Big Warsaw, but
encountering the gale and heavy seas, had to
make for Little Buzzard Island, which they
reached, and encamped Thursday night. On
Friday morning they started for Big Buzzard
Island, hoping to get there a pilot who would
take them through to the White Bluff Railroad.
When they were about a mile from shore the
gale struck them with full force and fury, up
setting the boat, a clinker-built shad boat. The
occupants of the boat saved themselves by
clinging to the bottom of their little craft, and
for four hours they drifted at the sport of
the winds and waves, thinking every minute
that their minutes were numbered. Their
provisions, clothing, lines and everything
else were lost. The boat fortunately drifted
up to the mouth of Bear River, where the negro
carried the line ashore to a salt marsh bank,
npon which the boat was banted ashore and
bailed out, Captain MeNish having previously
swam to the boat andcutloose the tackling, which
caused her to right. Here they stayed all Fri
day night, having had nothing to eat for twenty-
four horns. At 8 o’clock Saturday morning the
party started across the sound for Big Warsaw,
npon which island they landed at 3 p. m. Satur
day. Here they were fed by a good Samaritan
in the shape of a negro named Amos, and got
off, reaching White Bluff at It o’olock Satur
day night, rather the worse for wear but fortu
nately alive.
It was indeed a perilous venture, and nnder
the circumstanoes the crew may congratulate
themselves upon their escape from a watery
grave.
We clip the following handsome and well
merited tribute to the University of Georgia
from the Atlanta Era, of yesterday, excepting
only to the “liberal appropriation” part thereof.
We hardly think that is in accordance with the
facts of the case. Another adjective would
come much nearer the mark. Says the Era:
The University of Georgia—Importance of
Supporting a State Institution.—The present
flourishing condition of this venerable institu
tion of learning is doubly gratifying to its
friends, because of the promise it holds out for
the future. The sons of Franklin College are
scattered throughout the length and breadth of
tho land. Among them are numbered our most
eminent men, and the people of Georgia owe
their Stnte University a debt of gratitude that
can never be repaid. It is to this institution
that we are indebted for our most distinguished
lawyers, statesmen and divines. For more than
seventy years she has pursued the unbroken
tenor of her conquering way. Not even civil
war could long retard her onward course, and
she now stands in the formost rank of Southern
Universities.
These results are, of course, due in a great
measure to the liberal appropriations made by
the State, bnt they are due in a still greater
degree to the nntiring efforts of perhaps the
best faculty in the entire South. The names of
Lipscomb, Mell, Waddell, and Mitchell are
household words in Southern homes, and the
educated youth of Georgia will rise en masse,
a living testimony to their ability. It is the
duty of their people to extend a liberal support
to such an institution. There are peculiar
reasons why this should be done. It is a first-
clp-3 college, and it is, moreover, a State insti
tution. There is nothing sectarian about it.
The professors belong to various religious de-'
nominations, and there is no danger of their
warping the mind of tho youth committed to
their care.
Georgia Ladies at Montgomery White Sul
phur Springs.—The Richmond papers report
a grand dress ball at this popular resort on the
17th instant. Among the Georgians present
were Miss Pope, who was dressed in a beautiful
rose-colored silk, with a rich point lace over
dress. Mrs. Lee Jordan, white silk emani, with
white grenadine overdress, trimmed with lace and
black velvet. This lady wears the most costly
and beautiful diamonds I ever saw—none like
them in the mountains this season. Miss Ayers,
was tastefully attired in pure white. She
looked beautifully.
