iVft# Q{«if "* jPF * ‘wiDNESDAY.SBPT.Sa. 18M, ~ iuß3!ggM _.i i i ..,, ■ 1 ...~. lEB TROUBLE IN MITCHELL COUNTY. From our jerferdsy’s erehnnw., we L.. r gJt anr?r.im tnuiLlfi bctfffl''Q tli<; OWn V* MntOUS WVUvIv iivt n “** w white* and black*, at Camilla, G*., on Saturday la.it. The various private diepaLbe* from both partie* are con flicting. Nut from wbat we can gather, making due allowaoce for parti-colorcd report*, the negroes were to have % Rad ioal meeting at Camilla on Saturday lent, at which, Pierce, the Radical can didate for Cotigreet, end Murphy the Elector on the Grant ticket, were to make apeeches. It appear* that the oolored people went armed to the Wet iog. with a band of music. The Sher iff of the county; with hie posse, inter fered to prevent an armed meeting, in compliance with Gov. Bullock’s Proc lamation, at the same time stating that &o objection would be made to an un nnnad meeting. The nsgror# disre garded the Sheri CTe cent mauds, where upon a collision ensued between the negroes and the Sheriff's party, whioh resulted in the' 1 dispersion id the negro party, and the breaking up of the meet ing. ■ About forty persons were killed and wounded, mostly negroes. Nine negroes killed. The bureau agent ap plies to Gov. Bullock* for,troops, and blames the whites for the disturbance. Th* white*, on the other hand, say that all the trouble arose from the negroes being armed at the instigation of Pierce and Murphy. Bullock has laid the whole matter before the Legislature, who have appointed a special committee on the subject. Our individual opinion is, that the whole lass 4as gotten up at the instigation of the Northern Radical Party for political effect, and was faith* folly exeoated by their vagabond allies in Georgia. *r„ CoTTOtp—Cotton has been coming in •lowly for the past week, though more hSe been received this season so far, than .w.as received up to tho same date last season. The Merriwether cotton is greatly retarded by reason of defective bridges, or none ut all,' over Flint River and its tributaries. The new bridge at “Hall’s old bridge” place, is progress ing quite slowly—while the Fist Shoal bridge is considered very unsafe. Wo fear that Griffin is to lose muoh of her Merriwether trade this setuon from these causes. What little cotton or rises finds eager and numerous buyers —there being abont an average of n do* •en buyers for every bale. Present pri oss are quite remunerative, though the tendency ie decidedly upward. From present indications, the section of country immediately-around Griffin, will produce nearly as much cotton ns last year, bat not ns much corn. Oar nooounts from other portions of tho oountry, especially from the birgtr pro/ ducing sections, leaves no doubt that from the cotton worm, dreiigth and various other causes, the crop is great ly reduced, so that on a grand average, S crop of more than 2,000,0 0 bales is impottibU. For these reasons, we are folly persuaded that prices cannot he feroed much lower than at present, while the probability is strong for a consider able advance before the season is over. We again desire to caution farmers against being too stingy about bagging. Cover pour cotton all over, if you want to get the best price; you sell your bagging for more thau it oost; so use it freely—it pays out. THE ioUTHRU LING THE NORTH. • The following sensible views ere ex pressed in the Charleston Mercury, and as the law tuskers, up in Atlanta, says we “offer them as a subst-iti te” for •ome crudo notions of our own upon the samo eubjoot s , There can be no doubt, that throughout the Northern States there is, and has been from our first uni >n with them a deep Sectional jealousy on the part of a portion of the people ot the North against the people ot tbs South; This feeling was developed even during Gen oral Washington's ndministr-nUon. The subsequent efforts of this party during the administration of John Adams, tu usurp power'under tho Constitution, and to render the government of the United States a consolidated govern ment, in the bands of a seotwOal majori ty, occasioned its overthrow. This overthrow was accomplished by the elec tion of Mr. Jefferson to the Pr< sidency. From that time, with only brief inter vals, the polioy of the Constitution, pro vailed ; and generally under the lead of Southern mew in the Presidential office. This predominance was called the North, by the South, and was continually to exasperate the people ■ the North against the people of too South. The love of the negro—aboli tionism Was largely to. Lm. attributed to the jealousy of South engendered by this io»*Kinary/»l«- The South only iu tisted upon the rule o( the Consult) ion, as the paramount law for both sections. In doing this, it did not aggress hpon the North. It only prevented aggres sion*. It held up the barriers of the Constitution, against usurpations. H merely preserved the Government of the United State# from the revolutionary changes attempted by a party at the North, which could oofy end, in deetroy- -wordy of a most patriotic resentment. The Democratic party was said to be ruled "by the slave drrvers—they were panders to Southern dominion. Exactly the same sort of appeals to Norther# sectional pride and hate, have been need in the late Northern election* The Radicals .affirmed, that tbs Demo- platform was p»ade by Hampton and Forrest -thst if the Democratic par ty was inccessful, it would again bring the Southern State* into the ascendan cy, and place the North under Southern rule—and thst thus both in the South and the North, all the fruit of the late war, woujd be lost to the North. This is of c -urse all false ; and' the Radical orators who assume such posts tions, know them to be false; but they answer, their purpose of keeping many Northern people with the Radicals. It is in vain, strair.St such appeals, to urge that the people of the Southern States never bad, and bare not now, the least desire to rule the people of • the Northern States. All they want—all they aspire to, is, the rule of Ike Con s/ifuh'on. by which protection can be af forded, against the tyrranioal aggres sions of the Radicals. They have no right to rule,the North, nor (if the Southern Stdjies are members ot the Union of the United States.) has the Nfath n right to rule the South. The! Constitution is tbsirohmtnon compact by which both sections will rule themselves. Under it* broad provisions, the question of. a rum of sections is an impossibility. It is only when those provisions are dies regarded : and either section of the Union, overthrows the Constitution, that soy question of sectional rule oan exist. These views are 10 plain, under the Con* etitution, that it would seem to be la bor lo»t to controvert them, or te en deavor to smother them by feelings of hate and jealousy. If the Constitution is put aside, then all that the Radical oratora say is true. The Government f the United States, will be nothing but the arbitrary gov ernment of sections, striving for mas tery. Antsgonifm and bate must spread between the different section- of the Union, with a future of imp'non nenoe, just ns certain as the change of the seasons. We will then follow the fate 6f all despotisms over large por tions of the world when people are St all enlightnned, or free. PUBLIC MEETINGS. V We learn from tne LaGrango Res porter, that a very largo and enthusias* tie meeting and Barbecue was had at Luthersville, Merriwether County, on tho 12th inst. Pome two thousand peo ple were present. The meeting was adressed by Gen. Colquitt, Judge Big* ham, Col. Moses and Capt. Hugh Buch anan—a strong team, surely. We deeply regret our inability to have the Stab represented on the occasion. Th*.-e was also a fine meeting near - Yarborough’s Mill, last Saturday. It was gotten up in a hurry, but two or three days notice being given, yet there was a goodly turn out, and a fine din ner. Cols. Peeples and Martin address ed the meeting. The ball rolls on. DEATH OF TIIE EDITOR OF THE SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN. The Savannah Republican, of yes terday, comes to us clothed in mourning for the death of John E. Hayes, its prin cipal Editor, The Republican says : Sadden Death of Mr. John E. Hayes. —The community received a nudden , shook yosterdav morning by tho an nouncement of the death of the editor and proprietor of the Republican, Mr. John £. llayea. Since the attack made upon him last winter, he bos suffered from nffeolioQS of the brain, caused by the blows then received. On Monday night he complained of an intense pain in iiis head, assimilating somewhat to neuralgia, but renmined at the olliue and attended to his editorial duties un til late. Wheu ready to go home he was feeling eo badly that an employee of tho office had to attend him to his residence. On retiring to bed the se vere pain prevented him from sleeping, and he had recourse to an anodyne, and soon was in a sound slumber, from which ho awoke at his usual hour on TuesJuy morning. Still suffering from neuralgia in the head, he remaiued. in bed all during Tuesday. At night he again felt restless, and ail his attempts to get to sleep proving abortive, he took a teseponuful of lauda num, whiob did not appear to have any effect upon hi* nervous system. After an hour or so bad elsmed he oonoluded that the dose bad not been large enough, and th* servant in attendance gave him more. In all ho to >k about a large ta ble spoonful. Soon bs sank into a sleep which was never broken. Mr. Beard, who slopt with him, on arising next morning, says Mr, Hayes, AS he thought, was sleeping tranquilly, and concluded not to disturb him. Mr. Beard, after breakfasting, came down to the office and sent a boy u>"> to Mr. Hayes with some letters. Whfia the boy reached the house and went iff to Mr, Bayes' room he found him Ujfcg in bed with the muscles of hia convulsive action. He tried 'o arouse him, and finding it impossible, called for assistance. Others in tho house went into the room and attempted to aWuke him from his stupor, blit in vain. Dr*. King and Soherzer were summon ed, and emetics were treelyr administer* od. The use of a stomach pump was also resorted to, and every means taken to preserve the life of Mr. Haves—but it was ton late ; and at about half pael tea o’olock be breathed his lost.’ fit®* A fast Turk broke tho Baden* Hiden bank nine times in succession,. : recently.

It is understood that the Governor vetoed the Bill on ac count of having an interest in a rival concern. The Senate failed te over come the veto, the vote lieing 21 to 12, one vote lacking.

A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Gaxetto thus writes concern ing the recent action of the Georgia * Legislature,” wbieh reoolted in the un seating of negro members; "The action of the Georgia House of Delegates, in excluding negroes from that body on the ground of ineligibility, has produced no surprise hare, as it was known here in advance that thu move ment would be made under the dicta tion of the Radical Committee of Con gressmen, who consider that 81 * c h ac tion would he a trutfip card fn the Nor thern canvass, as showing ths Radical party wn« not favorable to negro equal ity. It required a great deal of backing and filling before tbe carpet-bagger# of Georgia could be induced to move in the matter, a* they professed to see in it nothing but their own political over throw. 111 resisting the proposition, they urged that the negroes would easi ly understand that they were being used merely as tools, and wmtld turn from them in disgust and join the Democracy. This loss, howaver, was regarded insig nificant when compared to the great advantage arising to the Radical party in the North to be able to demonstrate to tbe masses tijgt the Democratic speakers lied whjjp they charged their opponents with Savoring negro equality. This is the key to the action of the Geor gia Legislature, atjt} the Radical wire workers are chuckling over it as one of the smartest tricks of the canvass.” NEW ADVERTISEMENTS For Rent!
