THE FEDERAL UNION', (Corner of Hancock a fid Wilkinson streets.) OPPOSITE THECOtBTHOI MCdHTOI, HISBET * CO., SUI« PrlnlfM. Tuesday Morning, Augusts, 1865. Thr Lo*Ua •('•nr Puper. one can regret more Ilian we do the appearance o! onr paper. But the paper and the ink we are com pelled to use at present leare u« no room tor improve ment. Intimes past weliave t'elt proudot themeehani- «-al appearance of the FtPr.R&i -Union, and it was our ambition to make it the equal of any in this respect - at least. We hare lost none of oar pride as printers, and intend eo soon as the times will permit, to publish a large aheet, and get n new outfit throughout. In or der to put this “new face” upon things, we earnestly invite the cooperation of our old friends and patrons throughout the State. If they will lend us a helping hand in this trying hour of our existence, we can rise Pbcrnix like from the ashes, and. by the blessing of Cod. wo will do it. J^F.stPi.vct son S, L£.—The residence of Mr../. II. Nichols is offered for sale. See advertisement in another colunm The property is Tflry desirable— situated in one of the healthiest places in Georgia, cou venient to good schools, and in an excellent neighbor hood. Anyone wishing to purchase a delightful home, would do well to call on Mr. Nichols, or addre»s him at this place Chaufr. There is a great scarcity of change Utils in this place. Silver is hid away nevermore to Ree-the light of day until brought out by the sternest ne cessity. U. S. fractional currency was much more abundant a month ago than at present.— Venders of fruit and produce have secured the Texaa—War fiigai. Lato accounts from Texas are not very encour aging for the people of that State. During the four years of war. through which we have - j. st passed. Texas was so lucky as to bejoutside ot the ring. She had no hostile foe in her midst, and was equally fortunate in having free access to the outside world. But. according to the old adage, ‘■every dog has his day, ' Texas is soon to have her s Already we hear that there are from BO,- 000 to 100.000 IT. S. Troops on Bnd near the Rio Grande. It is also reported that Maximillian ha* brought up HO or 40,000 troops to the South side ot that river to watch the Ysflkees. The New York Herald of the.20th nit., which is before us, thus refers to Maximilian's situation : “He cannot re main there (Mexico) nor can he retreat without humiliation. What is he to do? England cannot come to his rescue, and who is to help him? — Again, the Herald says. “President Johnson un derstands all this, and knows that he bolds the French usurpation as in a vice, as Gen. Grant held Lee in Richmond, biding his time” Again, the Herald says. “President Johnson will surely make good the Monroe doctrine in Mexico. He has the means and the men at his call to enforce it by land and sea.” There is something warlike in the signs in the Southwest, and wo shall not be surprised to see the war cloud over the whole country in a few months- Our big sister, Texas, may yet get a taste of war. mmm——— — A CorXTitv Barbeci e —The article which we publish in another column under the above head, was written, some years ago. by one of the edi tors of this paper, for the New York Knicker bocker Magazine, The Editor, who, by the by, was a liberal man in bis feelings, did not like to introduce in bis journal any subject of a politi cal complexion, and, therefore, while expressing no personal objection to the article, declined to publish it. At this seasonjof the'year, when many of our planters are even treating the fr^edrnen to the cus tomary Batbecue, alter the crop is laid by, it may not be without interest to some of our readers to give them an account of one of these holiday in stitutions, as witnessed and participated in by the writer. But alas ! those good old customs will soon become a thing of the past. The merry laugh of the little negroes, the jolly shout of the boys arid girls—the happy faces of Moma Rina and daddy Jim are heard and spen no more. — — ♦ Cai <;hT—Our neighbor the Recorder was “ta ken in” when he published the New lork 'tri bune's account of the burning of Barnum s Mu- A COriKTBV BARBECIE There are many interesting and instructive events transpiring around us, of which a large por tion of the readers of the Knickerbocker Maga zine would, doubtless, be pleased to be informed— even s connected with our domestic institnfion, Negro Slavery, which will not be less novel than interesting to many readers who obtain all tbeir information on this subject, from exaggerated or false statements in the leading fanatical journals of the North. In the description Vvhich I propose to give you of a Georgia Planter s Barbecue, 1 shall nothing extenuate. I sliall give you a faithful account of! a scene, which I have witnessed on as many as ! four different occasions in the last four weeks, in ' the vicinity of this city.

Old master’s shirt collar rises on each side of his face like the sides of a wheelbarrow, and a neck tie surrounds his throat as variegated as the hues f of the rainbow. The occasion is usually a very solemn due. to theuegroes: and not unfrequently while the "Ceremony is progressing, “old Daddy” and Moma Kina groan sepnlcli/ully, and rock to and -fro as it they had a terrible pain in the region of the stomach. The frolic is usually kept up ’till day-break • “They dance all night, ’til! the broad day-ligut, And go home with the gals in the morning.’* der instructions, exclndes from the privilege all who have evnr held any confederate office, even that of tithe collector.

Of course all whf> are eutitled should have a voice in the nomination of delegates as well as in the election of them, for in a case of this kind, where there are no parties to divide the psopife a nomination by a county meeting, though small in numbers, would be tsutamount to an election. Let us not be iu a hurry to nominate ni<h for the Convention. Many of our best citi zens are applying for pardon, and will doubtless succeed in obtaining it, before many weeks ex pire. Give them a chance, and give the t^ns of thousands a cbance who have not had .an opportu nity offered them to subscribe the Amnesty Oath. It will be full time by the middle of September to move in ibis matter. We do hqpe that the people will wait a* long as possible, and then select thrir very best men for the Convention. Owe great rsuit ml trouble Nothing gives employers more trouble and »• dis satisfies the negroes as the difference in wages paid by those who hire. Some people have money ami can pay more liberally for work than others—then again some •negroes are mote expert and trustworthy than others, and of course get higher wages. But negroes love to talk aud brag about what they get, and those who nre befferpaid take particular pains to tell their less for tunate brothers and sisters of their success. The gen mality of negroes cannot understand why they do not gets* much moneyas others, and they give. »p good homes to look for higher wage* elsewhere. This is one reason why there are so.Joany change* If the negro would understand thatch ere is just as much difference between some negroesjaml others, as there ia between some white men and others—some get ting twenty dollars a day while others only get their meat and bread—they would be better satisfied to re main atp. good place when they got one. lint tlie ne- good opinion and liberal patronage formerly bestowed on the old firm. ry \Ye call attentiou to the advertisement of Messrs.

Edmund Burka said, nothing can be beauti- fat that does not possess some “sensible quality.” The bat now worn here has no sensible quality, fir it answers no sensible purpose.

In an aggregate vote of 730,000. a majority of 6,740 is nothing. * * * The most that can be said of the result is, that it was a neck-and-ueck contest.
