jjyTur a iirrv--'*'"*'~~** 1, ** gJ ' Telegraph & Messenger. 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. DIED.
