The Black Republican Postulate Tho New York Herald of last Friday makes a terrible outcry over a position assumed by the arcli agitator, Seward, in what that paper calls a “Revolutionary Speech” at Rochester, wherein he lays down the position that tho “free labor system” of the North and the "Slave labor sys tem" of the South, are in their character and re sults in such deadly conflict that tlieone can sub sist only by the extinction of the other.

Wilkie Collins, however, is a redeeming name, and wo find this, his last novel, to stand in the shape of a scries of well told stories by a poor travelling jHirtrait painter, laid up by a tailure of his eyesight, and availing himself of a faithful wife, “after dark" as amanuensis, to record stories gleaned from sitters in more prosj»ere>us times.

A horrible butchery took place in New York, last Tuesday night, in which a young^man of twenty, without assignable motive, assailed his father’s household with a hatchet, in flicting frightful wounds upon his father, step mother, two younger brothers and two servant girls and then blew out his* own braips. It was probable- that few or none of tlie wounded would recover. Sliver by tlie Cord. The Santa Fe Gazette says that Major Stein, lately from Sonora, expresses the opinion that Sonora is more prolific of gold and silver than California, and, if a Territory of the United States, would yield $10,000,000 annually. He says he has seen single lumps of gold taken from the mines there worth from $3,000 to $5,000. lie likewise informed as that he had seen a “cord” of silver in bars, and ail mined without machinery. Grittin Empire State. • Major Steele, the veteran senior of this able print, was in Macon last week.

SMITH, Cor. Sec’y. Col. J0I111 Klilledgc, Tills distinguished “ American ” is suggested by a correspondent of the Athens Banner, as a suitable person to*DU the ollice of Speaker, of the House, if Mr. Underwood should resign, and Mr. Irwin, of Wilkes, docs not want it For centuries this curious people—their laws, thcir'religion, and their institutions have been a scaled book to tlie world; and notwithstan ding their skill in art, their love of traffic and barter—favored as they are by nature with the amplest aids to commerce—their coast studded with magnificent bays and deep and spacious harbors, with grand rivers flowing from the un explored recesses of central Asia, through rich valleys teeming with a dense and active Agri cultural population, and bearing an immense tide of travel and treasure to the sea, still they have maintained their close and isolated policy, and with studied care have shut up all /he ave nues through which any intercourse, either social, political or commercial, could be main tained with the “outside barbarians.’ That such a people, with such a government, so strong, so venerable, containing such exhaust- less mines of weaitn, and not wanting in any of the means and appliances to carry on com- niw-ce in all its branches, should thus stand stil, unchanged and unchangeable, for thousands of years—should surround itself with a wall and actually and forcibly repel all friendly ad vunccs from other nations, has been a mystery, an exception—a solitary instance, making a de fiant monument of tlie anti-progressive system —in eloquent antagonism to the progressive Spirit of tho Age. The restless impulses of trade—the eager prurient desires of Commerce—the fervent zeal of enterprise, liavc wrought many changes in tho world. Steam and lightning are noble aux iliarirs, and when impelled by Ihe thirst for gold, are rarely to bo resistcfl. Such has been the combination of influences, which hare been brought to hear upon the insulation of China, and after war had exhausted its force and failed, diplomacy, ami the pressure of circumstances have attained the object so greatly to be desired, and the vast Empire of China will shortly be o|M-ned to intercourse with Christendom. England and France, for the last six months, have been engaged in arranging the details of a touimercial treaty with tlie Ambassador of the Chinese Emperor, and our Government not unmindful of the many advantages to be de rived from an equal participation in iLs trade and traffic, has been careful to have at Canton, near the scene of negotiation, a representative of her interests, to watch and seize the opportune mo ment when the United States could be permitted to avail themselves of all the privileges and im muniticn allowed to the most favored nations. Mr. Reed has negotiated a treaty on highly therefore ephemeral, mistake the cause altogeth er. It is an irrepresible conflict between oppos ing and enduring forces, and it means that the United States must and uiU, sooner or later, be come either entirely a slaveholding nation, or en tirely a free-labor nation. Ei filer the cotton and rico fields of South Carolina and the sugar ilantations of Louisiana will ultimately be tilled jy free labor, and Charleston and New Orleans become marts for legitimate merchandise alone, or else the rye fields and wheat fields of Massa chusetts and New York must again be surrend ered by their fanners to slave culture and to the induction of slaves, and Boston and New York jccomc once more markets for trade in the bodies and souls of men. It is the failure to apprehend this great troth that induces so many unsuccessful attempts at final compromise be- between the slave and free State, and it is the existence of this great fact that renders all such pretended compromises, when made, vain and ephemeral." Now, as senseless and abominable as is this in cendiary doctrine, the Herald’s alarm about it, as some new dovclopcment of progressive free- soilism, is all affectation. It is an old doctrine with Seward—it is the comer stono of tho Black Republican Creed—it is thebaaison which they propose to rear their edifice of political power and supremacy in this Republic—it is Q10 doc trine which coalescing Northern Americanism is lending aid to establish—and it is the monstrous and bloody-thirsty dogma which Southern Amer icanism will not help tho democracy of tlie na tion to confront ami put down. Furthermore, we affirm, that it is the precise position, laid down in all its horrid and monstrous atrocity, by Lincoln in Illinois, when he defined his politi cal attitude before the Springfield Convention which nominated him as a candidate for the U. S. Senate from Illinois ; and it was the main one confronted, exposed and denounced by Douglas in his first speech at Chicago, duringthc present canvass. And though Lincoln has, since that time, been forced to crawfish a little under the weighty logic of hisantagonist, we assert that it is still his substantial position, and that of his supporters, and if he comes to tlie United States Senate, it will be as the supporter of this dog- nuiand tho true exponent of a party holding to it in all its length, breadth and logical sequences. The Herald's sobs and tears, are rather late.— That Snake has lain in deadly coil in the Black Republican turf ever since tlie party bail exist ence. That paper says that if Ncw-York could be canvassed in opposition to this doctrine, Sew ard A Co. would receive their death-blow. Bah! They have grown fat on it, like rata on offal ; and we confess to a feeling of disgust when we sec the Herald for thofirsttime discovering that the North and South cannot long travel togeth- nnsuch a doctrine—that it iaa simple propo sition to make the Sou th a San Domingo at the behests of a party of Northern Sans-Culiottcs reckless as Danton or Robespierre. Odd sur prises are all these for the Napoleon of American Journalism to lie caught iu! And is it passible so astute a miml as Seward's Black Republicanism Balking. Events in the North frequently happen toil lustrate how far this free soil uproar for negr equality is a genuine fanaticism, and bow far i is mere cant and dap trap for political i-ff Black Republicans can mouth it for negro civil and social equality—they can howl about the Dred Scott decision, and blubber about African slavery till the “last day in the morning”—but when they come to a practical illustration of their negro equality doctrines, they balk con- sumedly. Some few straight-out rod flannel abolitionists will be consistent and go tlie equal ity doctrine to the point of amalgamation; but the mass even of the most mouthy abolitionists will recoil from a negro as from a black snake, and feel no more real concern about him, and what they call his “wrongs," than they do about Beelzebub. Their abolitionism is mere hypo critical cant—political humbug—the suggev tion of sectional jealousy or demagqgucism.— They howl by the hour over the Dred Scolt de cision, and in defenceof negro equality, and per haps the next hour are driving some poor free negro out of his scat in a car, steamboat or om nibus by way of a practical illustration of ne gro equality. The negro, they say, is a “ man ami a brother,” and a citizen of the Unites! States Dred Scott to the contrary notwitstanding; hut when their “man and brother,” undertakes as he did two years ago, to drink out of the com mon tumblers at the Saratoga Springs they send for a police force from Albany and New York, to “ put down the niggers.” If their brother” has paid thejust sum of five cents to ride in a Kail Road Car, in one of the streets of New York, they raise a row and put him out, and stand a law suit rather than “ride with a nigger," while on the other hand, the “ lordlj- Southern planter,” is driven to the post office every week day in the year, by the negro beside him. They cant by the year, about neg.v> wrongs and negro rights hut if their practice policy could be carried out to its conclusion, tlie negro would liavc neither place to sit or stand— nor air to breathe—nor food to cat—nor shelter nor clothes to cover him. Greeley, of the Tri bune, is fond of talking about “ dough-faces,' by which be means men who arc too timid 01’ corrupt to stand up to their real principles! But among “dough-faces” where will you find such perfect illustrations as are furnished by this whole crowd of mouthing free soilers—if you concede their avowal of principles to he sincere and not rank hypocrisy » ■ Lately in Michigan, another case lias oecured, illustrating tlie sheer hypocrisy of this free soil outcry against the Dred Scott decision. Wil liam II. Day, a free negro, purchased a cabin passenger ticket in a steamer, then lying at the wharf in Detroit Going on board he was told that he must take a deck passage, ns “ no ne groes were allowed in the cabin." Day refused to take it, and brought suit against tlie owners of the lioat for damages. Tlie case went against him in the Circuit Court, and he thereupon ap pealed ; but the Supreme Court of Michigan has just affirmed the decision of the Court below. The reader will not understand ns as com plaining of this.decision. It was right But see the inconsistency of these men. The courts are black republican, and pronounce tlie Dred Scott decision “inhuman and barbarous”—an outrage upon the country—unworthy a Chris Agricultural College and “Book FARMING/' 1 The Atlanta Daily Intelligencer announces t that at a meeting of the Southern Central Ag ricultural Society held during the late Fair, it was agreed to memorialize the Legislature of • Georgia on the subject of establishing an agri cultural College at that place. Tlie Intelligen cer presents the case thus:— “An institution designed and prepared for this specific purpose, is now a great desideratum in the educational wants of the people of Georgia. It has long been a a evil of a serious character, that our young men, who have had the advantages of a liberal education, have been too much inclined to embark in the legal, medical or mercantile pro fessions. A young man heretofore, has been, and even now is, considered as “burying his talent,” who after passing through the formula of u colle giate education settles down on a farm, and em ploys his time in making corn, cotton, peas, wheat, oats and potatoes. This ought not so to be. Place the business of agriculture among tlie learned pro fessions—make it, in tlie public estimation, as it deserves to be, the most honorable of all pursuits and our catalogue of Doctors, Lawyers and Mer chants, would be decimated. All these last nam ed avocations are crowded to repletion—hence so mafljr disastrous failures among tills class of onr citizens. The business of Agriculture in this coun try. never has and never can he overcrowded for tlie next two centuries. Tho policy of onr people should be against the encouragement of what is termed the learned professions and in favor of the avocation of agriculture. Under this view of the subject, we cannot too earnestly i isist upon the rigorous prosecution of the enterprise recommen ded by the Agricultural Society: The location of such an institution at this place we consider high ly appropriate.” We differ with our friends of the Intelligen cer about the “appropriateness" ofthe proposed location. Town lots would make up a costly experimental plantation, and our idea would be, if the State is to embark in this business, to lo cate tlie farm down in Ware county, and bring into requisition the rich bottoms of the Okcfc- noke, which already belong to the State and have been demonstrated by surveys under State mthority to be susceptible of drainage. .Here, we beg leave to suggest, should the State wish to embark in the Agricultural business, she has ample scope and opportunity. She might em ploy a corps of scientific men to give direction, 1 and receive pupils gratis on the ordinary condi tion of bringing with thqm the material appli ances of education, which in this case, beside books, towc-Lsand a spoon, would include each a stout negro to conduct tlie lalwrious experiments of tlie faculty and pupils. Tims, without other expense to the State than the salaries of the Faculty or overseers, avast plantation might be opened, which should produce immense annual crops of the great staple, besides developing the superior advantages of “Book Fanningand with much less than the Intelligencer’s partiali ty for this kind of Agriculture, we say, with faithful toil all round, the t tkefeiinkc Book Fann, conducted on these principles, ought to lie a paying institution. W« submit our plan to the Central Committee and the Intelligencer in the humble hope that it \j_ill not escape attention. But if they still insist ujioii nn e\]ierimeiital plantation in Atlanta, we shall then go for res tricting State investments of this character to the single agricultural professorship already es tablished in the Georgia University. Dr. Dan iel Lee is an excellent scientific and practical agriculturist, audit will lie time enough, for the State to add other foundations and professor ships of Agriculture, when she shall see that favorable terms—this treaty will, without doubt, can seriously fall into such wicked heresies ?~ be ratified, and China will soon he open to Anier- can industry and enterprise. In our judgment, this treaty is the beginning of a new era in the history of American C-om- ni'.-rce. It was a striking coincidence that the first and only news message borne by the light ning over the Atlantic Cable, should be the startling announcement that peace and a treaty luid been made with China. What the results of this grand event in the world’s history will lie, no one can tell; but even now, we see our own great staple in the face of our unprecedented re ceipts, maintaining a high price and steady de mand, caused by the estimates of increased con sumption, growing^ out of the wants of China. The extent and amount of this consumption can not now be measured; but whatever it is, we are rejoiced to see tmil mu »- termined not to abate any effort in securing to oar people their full share of the golden ventures of the Orient, and hence our diplomatic relations with China are justly considered to be of the greatest magnitude. In the nrfoetton, therefore, of a Reprvscnta-1 tive, great care has been taken to secure tho ser vices of those only who were fully competent to < lischarge the varied and important duties of the mission. Cotton and Tobacco are Southern staples, and their consumption will be largely increased by the wants of the Eastern world, and it is judi cious and proper that a Southern Statesman should be chosen to represent us, who will look closely to our interest, and give the most favora ble direction to the immense and valuable trade, which will grow out of tlie new and interesting relations with China. We think the President has been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Ward. He is an eminent lawyer—experienced as a Legislator— comprehends in all its bearings the trade and commerce ofthe country—knows the wants of the people, and we are very sure in this new sphere of action, will make reputation for himself, and reflect credit upon the Government which he has tho honor to represent Opposition Caucus. Notwithstanding the opposition of our friends of the Messenger and Republican, to the caucus and convention system, a party nomination was recently made by convention for Solicitor, in the Flint Circuit, and A. 1>. Hammond, Esq., of Forsyth, selected. Mr. Hammond is quite a We say no. We don’t liclieve it possible. He must sec, what the very founders ofthe Repub lic saw in prospective, and a fact which has been made patent to thecoramoncstundcrstandingliy the uniform experience of the country ever since. He must see that our wealth and {tower lie not in a dull uniformity of labor and production which he advocates, but in the very opposite condition of diversity of pursuits, products, and pecuniary and social interests. It was this very diverse condition upon which Washington, in his Fare well Address, predicates the hope of a long and harmonious union of the States, and its happy re sult upon the country can now bo seen and ap preciated in the fact that while the Great West lies pros trate, the South is able to lift tlie burden U ic'*nc5taropkfefrtrom her teeming cotton fields. This diversity of interests naturally contributes to a general harmony, while a dead level of “free labor" and free labor products would excite com petition and antagonism. Not one great inter- of the South stands nowin real opposition to interest of the North and West, and vice ver sa; and it would be impossible to contrive a con dition of things more favorable to harmony than that which now exists and has always existed between the great sections of this Republic.— Mr. Seward is not in honest error upon tiiis sub ject, but with the temper and purposes of the reckless demagogue, he inflames the people of the North with the absurd idea of nn “aggres sive slavery” which must extinguish their own ‘Tree labor” or fell a victim to it It is the old French revolutionary cry against “les aristo crats” very little modified. turn people, and so forth.

Yet Michigan judges and Michigan black For the Georgia Telegraph. Foreign Bank Agencies. Mr. Editor:—The Editor ofthe Columbus Times, in his issue of the 27th inst., has fallen into a common error. He regards the money, that is, the bank notes brought into the State by the Agents of the South Carolina Banks, as so much capital added to that in the State. Now, they do not add one dollar of capital—if they diil, they would abstract it from the vaults of thc Carolina banks. What they bring is simp ly credit, and a credit not half so good as that ofouroivnlianks—all of which appeared (Win the comparative statement published last October at the time of suspension. When a Carolina Agent buys Cotton of a Georgia former, he pays In promises to pa}', i. e. the notes or thc credit of a Carolina hank. That is just what he trades on, hut he receives in re turn, cotton, which is as much cash as golden ingots since the, liank drawing against the cot ton when shipjied, receives for the same, gold or silver, and a premium on its sterling exchange into the bargain. When, however, citizens of Georgia unite amPpav in various values consti tuting thc capital stock of a liank, that is capi tal, and it is capital at home, and thc issues of liank notes based upon it can lie redeemed for gold and silver without going or sending into a neighboring State The history and exhibit of the Newberry, the People’s, South Western Rail Road, and other banks of South Carolina, show conclusively, that in the late crisis, thc people of Georgia were much nearer suffering heavy losses by trusting outside banks, than they ever imagined. spare for reading. In all his writings he con stantly kept these things in view; content with doing good, he used no trappings merely to please, or gain applause. The distinguishing character of his style is brevity and perspicuity. He never lost sight of the rule which Horace gives: “ Eat brevitate opus ut currat sententia non Impediat verbis lasins ouerantibus aures.” In all his writings his words are well chosen, puref proper to his subject, and precise in their meaning. His attitude in the pulpit was graceful and easy; his action cahn and natural, yet pleasing and expressive; his voice not lotnl, but clear and manly ; bis style neat, simple, and per splouous, and admirably adapted to tlie capaci ty of his hearers. His discourses, in point of composition, were extremely different, on differ ent occasions. His Sermons wore always short; seldom more thru half hour; sometimes not so long. His subjects were always well chosen, in structive and interesting to thc audience, and well adapted to gain attention and warm the heart. Mr. Wesley died in 1701, aged 88—having liccn 05 years in thc ministry, and 52 an itin erant preacher. In calmly viewing thc life of this great and good man, we arc lost in aston ishment that any mortal could liave endured tho labor he did, for so long a time; labor both mental and physical. He doubtless never could have accomplished what he did, but for his in domitable perseverance, hacked by a good judg ment, and a good heart He was a good economist of time, lie arose THE Mr. Thwcatt, the State Comptroller, in his I four every morning, and his only recreation late rtqmrt, has called attention to tlie liict that ’ till he retired at night, was a change of employ these same foreign agencies, with their promises i nient—for he had stated hours for every purpose, to pay on paper, are"greatly favored at the ex-1 Mr. Wesley traveled 50 years as an Itinerant pense of our own hanks by paving, under thc Preacher; traveling one .year with another, four existing law, less taxes to tlie SUtc than ours thousand five hundred miles, chiefly on horse- pay. ft is hardly to lie wondered at, that these outside credits are generally regarded as so much capital brought into the State, when Mr. Thwcatt himself so views it. Hear what he says: ‘Tile Act of the Legislature of 185C requires all foreign bank agents to give in on oath to the lie- ceiver o/Taxahles, for the county where in said a- gent and employee may reside or sojourn, when ever called upon so to do, a just and true state- back ; making in the fifty years, two hundred and twenty-five thousand miles he traveled on /uirscback. During this time, he preached forty thousand five hundred and sixty sermons. In this time he read thousands of volumes; kept up a large epistolary correspondence, and kept a Journal of each (lay’s proceedings. And did this occupy all his time ? No, in addition to ment or exhibit of the amount in coin, bills, notes, j ! ,e published one bundled and Jifly-tux) drafts and checks, used and employed by him du-1 different works—original and abridged from ring the last preceding quarter, which amount so others—and many of these were ponderous vol- giren in shall be handed over by the Receiver to the Tar Collector of said comity, whose duty it shall be to collect as other taxes are collected, nine anil three fourth cents on each hundred dol lars so given in and returned, estimating bills, notes, drafts and checks as money.” As the previous law only placed foreign bank agencies upon a foot ing with other banks of die State, in the way of taxation, I presume that it was tlie intention of thc Legislature of 1850 to increase the State tax on foreign hank agencies. Instead of its doing this, it actually decreased the State tax on foreign hank capital 2."i per cent, besides tlie State having to pav all costs of collection, or tlie receiver's and col lector’s commissions, which it did not do before. It is true, that this Act of 1856 did increase the tax on foreign bank capital, by requiring its agents umes. Besides these, he wrote many beauti ful hymns, and gave an infinite number of ex hortations to the Societies ami Classes. Truly, he was in “Jaliors more abundantly.” How- striking are the labors of this great man to those of some of our hainl-got-time preachers of the present day; and in his uses oftliis world’s goods to that compared to some of our haint-gol-noth- in'g-to-give sort of lay members, at the present day.
