SOl'Tftft- WESTERN GEOBGIA.
We clip the following from the let
ter of a Montgomerian, written from
Dougherty county, Georgia, to the
Montgomery Advertiser, dated August
6th :
1 spent a day at Americus, and there
saw the spirit of improvement abroad.
The parties owning one side of the
public square that had been burned
down, have made arrangements to re
build the whole side of the square,
with substantial brick stores with an
extensive hotel above.
Dawson has a pleasant site for a
town, but as yet not much of a town.
Spending a day or two at Cuthbert,
including Sunday, I found an intelli
gent population, and more handsome
ladies, for the size of the place, than
it was my lot to find anywhere else—
on the whole, Cuthbert impresseo me
as a pleasant, healthy country town.—
It is the home oi Col. rews, the gal
lant cavalryman, who is entitled to the
credit of Stoueman’s capture.
Eufaula having considerable trade
front a rather fertile country around, is
already a place of some size Ten or
twelve fine brick buildings being eret-
ed are indicative of prosperity. She
has a great future before her and must
ere long be connected by Railroad
with Montgomery.
From Eufaula I retraced my steps
to Smithvilie and thence to Albany.
Some rather better crops on this road,
but on the whole not v ry promising.
Albany being in the midst of fertile
land, and being the terminus of the
South-Western Railroad, does a large
business. Here I had the good fortune
to meet »y friend Colonel James T.
Flewellen, of Columbus. Ga., a gentle
man of intelligence, sagacity and line
business talent. Accepting the invi
tation to visit his “White Hill” farm,
twelve miles South of Albany, I took
a seat in his carriage and passed
through large and rich farms till we
reached this place. With few excep
tions these farms have been, all things
considered, well cultivated, and the
crops, cotton especially, better than
I had anywhere yet seen ; corn was
suffering for rain, and taking the small
quantity of land planted in corn into
account, there will not be a sufficient
qutntity made for next year’s supply.
Corn sells lor $1 50 per bushel, there
being a sufficiency in the country with
very little shipment from the West.
Artemus Ward said he was “not a suc
cess as a singist,” but as Col. F. has
been 'a success’ in working free labor,
lor the benefit of the public, allow me
to go a little into detail. Col. F. pays
$2,000 rent for the place, (which he
has leased for ten years,) negro hire
say $6,000, overseer $800, (as he will
make provisions to replace all used in
making the crop, they are not properly
to be included in the expense) say in
round numbers the entire expense will
be $10,000. His cotton crop after
after paying this amount is a clear
profit. He informed me had already
sold (engaged) the crop of this place
at 25c. per lb., purchasers paying tax,
that is $125 per bale; 300 bales is
$37,500, deduct expense $10,000,
leaves a net profit of $27,500—sup
posing be makes only 200 bales that
will leave him a profit of $15,000.—
Tbe negroes are evidently well man
aged and cared for, as all seem con
tented and happy, and declare “Mas
James” de bes man in de world, and
“Mas James” too, (excuse me Col.) de
dares “I am proud of you, you have
made a firstrate crop. I knew you
woo Id do it, you have made the best
crop that was ever made on the place,
and I am proud to say in tbe neighbor
hood, Ac.” The Colonel furni hes
supplies of clothing (finery,) extra sup
plies (luxuries) flour, mackerel, Ac.,
Ac., at cost, and keeps all hands post
ed as to how the account stands, so no
one will be surprised, or disappointed,
when settling day comes, mid most of
them keep nearly even with their
wages.
Tbe general information I have been
able to gather concerning the cotton
crop in South-western Georgia, in
passing through the counties ot Dough
erty, Mitchell, Baker, Miller, Early,
Clay aud Calhoun, is that there was a
large breadth of land planted in cot
ton. Stands generally fair. Some lands
remain uncultivated for want of labor,
to what extent I am not sufficiently
informed to state; some lands planted
tor want of proper management, will
make very little, on some places plant
ers having abandoned a part of the
crop, and a few places being abandon
ed altogether. These causes combin
ed will lessen the crop of this region;
but all things considered I am of the
opinion that more than, hay the usual
crop of cotton of (hu region will be
made this year. ***

Out of Their Own Mouths.—The
howlings of the radicals over the sup
pression of the bogus Convention in
New Orleans have been handsomely
rebuked by the following quotations:
When the Louisiana members of
Congress, elected under the Constitu
tion framed by the Convention which
was dispersed the other day, applied
for admission to their seats, Mr. Sum
ner said:
“Mr. President, I remember last
summer that good fortune threw me
in the path of a distinguished gentle
man just returned from Louisiana. I
think he had been present at the sit
tings of the Convention ; at any rate,
he had been at New Orleans at the
time in the discharge of important’du
ties. In reply to an iuquiry in regard
to that Convention, he said, compen
diously, that it was nothing but a stu- ■■ .
pendous hoax—yes, sir, uothiog but a g'*- csespir,., „ so. be.ag
1 ° earned out by tbe Radical organs among
stupendous hoax. j ng. So soon as tbe first news of the riots
“ The pretended State Government r( > ac hed the North, and before any definite
uterly indefensible, i information in regard to their origin could
Tfce ftftadienl Pl«i to InpriKh the Pn-sMfit,
The Okjrrt #f (he Bfrw Orleaaa Rial.
In the course of along and able article,
in which it urges the people to put down
forever the Radicals by returning Conser
vatives to the next Congress, th© New
York Hrald says:
“We published yesterday, from one of
the New Orleans papers, a full account of
the origin and progress of the recent riots
in that city. The evidence of eye-wit
nesses, of reports for the press, and of the
negroes themselves, is oveiwhelmingly to
t?ie effect that the negroes began the dis
turbance by abusing the police as rebels.
Then, when the police attempted to make
arrests, the negroes forcibly resisted them.
Tbe principal fighting was between the
police aud the negroes, and every effort
was made by the police authorities to pre
vent the white spectators from interfer
ing against the blacks. Of course such
efforts were in vain, especially when the
members of the illegal Convention openly
took part with the negroes. It is in evi
dence that the blacks were armed, and
ready for a not. Ur. Dostie, one of the
members of the Convention, who was
killed in the melee, repeatedly declared
that 'there was not a negro in New Or
leans who was not organized and prepar
ed.’ General Sheridan, in his official le-
port to Genera? Grant, says that ‘the lea
uers of the Convention weie political agi
tatorsand revolutionary men, and tbe ac
tion ot the Convention was liable to pro
duce breaches of pnblic peace;’ and he
adds that he has made up his mind to ar
rest these leaders as soon as they commit
ted an overt act. These facts prove con
clusively that the Radicals are responsi
ble for the whole affray; that they assem
bled the illegal Convention ander revolu
tionary leaders for the purpose of provo
king a nistnrbsnce; that they organized
and armed the negroes, and sent them
forth to pick a quarrel with the police and
tbe white citizens, and that tbe bloodshed
which foil, wed was anticipated by them,
aud formed a part of tbe plot by which
they hope to create a new sectional feeling
at the North against the South, to break
up the Philadelphia < onvention, to carry
the fall elections, and ultimately to im
peach the President.
of Louisiaua is
whether you look at its origin or its
character. To describe it 1 must use
plain language: It is a mere seven
months’ abortion, begotten by the bay
onet in criminal conjunction with the
spirit ot caste, and boin before its
time, ricketty, unformed, unfinished ”
In the same debate Mi
said :
“Sir, I have heard a great deal
about this pretended election in Loui
siaua, which did not come from Major
be obtained, the Radical press began their
infamous work. They represented tlie
tight between the police and the negroes
as a rebel uprising They called the
black rioters ‘martyrs to liberty.’ They
asserted that rebel flags bad been display
ed by tbe municipal authorities. Grow
ing bolder as they proceeded, these pa-
Wude p e rs aecuseu the President of th» : United
States of conniving with rebels and beiug

They forged dispatches from Gen. Sheri
dan bolsteriug up their statements. One

proceedings a mockery. Itisnotpre- » r
Grant that the riot was not tbe result ot a
mere mob, but a preconcerted and pre-ar
ranged plan of weeks for tbe slaughter of
Union meu.’ Compare f his with what
General Sheridan did actually telegraph.
tended that there could be drummed
up from t h e tiff-raff'of New Orleans,
aud sent into the vicinity, under the
mandate of a Major General, more
than about six thousand voters, where
over fifty thousand were formerly
polled.”
Mr. Grimes, and other Radicals,
spoke in the same strain, and at the
conclusion of the debate, the Louisia
na Convention and its work were con
demned by t e decisive vote of thirty-
two to twelve. In the House it was
assailed by Thad. Stevens, Winter Da- j There can be no mistake as. to the
vis, and their followers, with equal ' w ^ lc ^ instigated the Radicals to
vigor and ferocity, and met the same
fate at the hands of the Radicals. And
it is this object of their concentrated
denunciation that they now take up
to give a pretence of legality to their
conspiracy against peace aud order in
Louisiana !
PrfufrrallM »f Jlral by Salphanvu Em.
We bad an opportunity, on Tborsday
last, cf seeing alow! which had been pre
served for more than a we*k, in excellent
condition for the table, by being subjected
| to fumigation with snlphur, according to
| a process recommended by Dr. Dewar, of
Kirkcaldy. Tbe process is similar to that
which Lr. Dewar has recently practiced,
wi*h great success, for the prevention of
cattle-plague, and consists in simply plac
ing the meat to be preserved m a room hi
which snlphur is burned, and which is
cloned as far as possible against the ad
mission of fresh air. The process has
been repeatedly tested within the last
few weeks, and always, we are informed,
with the most satisfactory results. A
sheep’s head was kept fresh for thirteen
days; a crab, which is well known to be a
peculiarly perishable edible, was kept
perfectly sweet for eight days; and a
lamb’s head and pluck, after having been
kept four days and a halt, w’as prepared
for the table, and pronounced to be in ox
cellent condition. Tbe plan sucieeds
quite as well with fish—haddocks, w hich
baa been fumigated two or three times,
having been found quite fresh after seven
days. It is evident that a process so
simple and so easily practiced will confer

In a recant speech in New Jersey, Mr.
Henry Clay Dean, of Iowa, pays the fol
lowing glowing and beautiful tribute to
Virginia the mother of States, statesmen
and heroes:

part of bis heritage has given to man such
an hundred years of history as that of
Virginia, beginning with the public life of
George Washington and ending with the
surrender of General Robert E. Lee• Tbe
great orator, Patrick Henry, whose spirit
lighted up the first great revolution, and
whose mild, sweet voice called armies np

led these armies, was a Virginian; ’Thom

benighted age to teach it liberty, was a
Virginian; James Madison, who environed
our rights by a flame of living fire which
tbe most illustrious periods in the past and
present centnvy' preserved unharmed all
that was sacied in life and precious in
hope—The Constitution of the United
Mates—was a Virginian; John Marshall,
whose luminous mind, guided by immuta
ble justice, gave being to a most profound
and comprehensive judiciary, tbe bulwark
of American institutions, tbe marvel of
mankind, was a Virginian; Henry Clay,
whose commanding majesty of soul drew
after him withersoever he went, one full
halt of the whole moral and iniellectual
powers of America, who did obeisence
