A VC re drawn most mildly, there is.nothin
the speech that a’Georgian could not consis
tently adopt. If Mr. Kelley will only *.n
tinue to make such speeches in the South, yvc
are willing to insure him against every form
of interruption, if, Indeed, he is not w.-muly
received eveiywhere. The result in Atlanta
should prove to him that bis reoeption in
tho South depends wholly upon himself.
There is nothing in iris past history to com
mend him to the Southern people, but, like
all strangers who behave themselves and re
spect tho rights of others, he will be secure
from harm, or even disrespect. Vfe annex
his remarks to the ncgVo portion of hi's At

Addressing thefreedmen present, be asked,
wlmt is liberty ! Freedom, said he. simply
implies the right to labor for yourselves—to
make your own contracts and secure their

The spcr.kcr here used tins illustration: He
was walkWg arm in arm with another gen
tleman. Suddenly the gentleman withdrew
his arm and stopped. On turning, he per
ceived his companion was using his cane to
turn a gold bug, which he did by a sudden
motion of his cane, tossing the bug. in the air.
which, when it touched the earth did So en
its legs. ‘There,” said the gentleman, “now
you can travel as well as any other bug of
your kind.”
Now, my colored friends, by being eman
cipated you arc simply put upon your legs,
and now have as good a chance in the world:
as any being of your kind. You must hoe
your own row—you must not indulge in idle
ness; yon would be untrue to yourselves, mid
ungrateful to your Maker. Seri Jiow well, you
can do. Work, save money , and buy land.
But above all try to send your children to
school—educate them. But, if you cannot
do that, be sure to make them work;, don’t
let them grow up iu idleness. Work to se-
curo and keep the good will of tho white
folks among whom you have grown up, and
who are ynur friends. Do,your duty^culti-c
vote kindly relations, and be considerate to
ward those who once sustained other rela
tions toward you. And turning to friends
near him on the platform, he said, yoqr
strength is our strength, our power, and by
your riches we are enriched. Book for worth,
and merit in those whom Proviriencehas
placed among yon and cDCourngo if.
In conclusion ho congratulated bis hearers
on tho new and brighter, era opening up to
the great ana grand nation. He remarked
that the people of the South thought they
of the North did not suiter. But we were
sadly mistaken. Not a loyal household in
the North but had a vacfint chair in the fam--
ily circle. Hundreds of thousands of lives
were lost: and hundreds ofjnillions _of
treasure expended, and onr laud fs filled with
sorrow and woe. He Said tho nation had
passed through the agonizing throes of the
second birth. And now, tne mother—tho
nation—looked with pride upon lier offspring,
as in natural life the mother was compensa
ted for all her unutterable agony by the sweet
smile of the new born babe. As through
pain we came into earthly existence, and
through sickness and pain wc pass through the
portals of death to a glorious immortality, so
the nation, through tribulation and blood,
passes to a more glorious and resplendent fu
ture, , . *
CROP PROSPECTS IS GEORGIA.
Meriwether—Crops and Politics.
Meriwether County, May 10, 1807.
Editors telegraph: I am emboldened to
write v«u, because you have solicited some
accountof the prospects ahead for the pres
ent crop; also, you say, “however imperfectly
written,” you will give "ship-shape,” Ac.
WeTS in the fil'd place, the “eternal nig
ger” is doing remarkably well—much better
than was expected -last Winter. So far ns I
have heard, there are but lew instances of
misbehavior even on the parr of former slave?,
and they arc working well. The, stamlrmf
corn and cotton are generally ‘good. The
rains and - cold weather have made both 5
little backward, but, all tilings considered,
the present prospect is flattering. NMieat
looks well up' to fins tiineVa !ew instances of
crops having red mould on the blade* IW re
ported, and I am . inclined to. think, tliere
some on all, but to no damaging extent. As
yet, the oqt c'jjp promises wqll. There is
plenty of fruit on almost all the trees. The
peach is not burdened, ! ut I think pk i\ty for
use and drying —none for brandy.
I I'ejoicf that the pres- generally jinve takert
up’, and are urging upon (lie afteniioiy of .yiq
Southern people, the importance oflabop, aye,
the dignity. of. labor. ,If xvc; would., retain
our holds upon our old hOnieetcatkv we must
labor-labor to make food rind-ruirownt, la
bor to beautify; adorn, nnd.make pleasabt fetid
attractive our homes—Georgia homes. Give
to the winds ail foolish notions of the West,
Texas, Mexico, Brazil,' or any • other country.
This is our own. What sacrifices have we
not made for it? A prolonged .war of four
and. in view of the probable continued de
cline in the price of cotton, and the quite ns
certain continuance ol the present high price
ot corn, it would be well if all our planters
could be induced to increase their crop of
corn in this way.
I find that very considerable crops of small
grain have been sown this year, and learn
that the wheat and oat crop is very promis
ing. * There is 90ine complaint of rust in the
wheat, but os yet its appearance has only been
noticed on the blades, which is said not to be
verv hurtful. S2 ' ^

enough for plantation use. The latter crop

One of tho editors of the Augusta Chron

The crop prospects in this county and the
adjoining portions of Burke and Washing
ton arc said to be very good, though it is yet
too early to make anything like a fair esti
mate of the probable amount of the crops of
corn or cotton. The stands of the former are
reported to be quite defective on account of
the ravages of the bud-worm, aud.from what
I have seen the indications axe that the
quantity planted will be insufficient, even
with tlic most favorable yield, to supply the
wants ot the country. The planters of this
section arc making, in my judgment, a most
serious mistake in devoting the largest and
best portions of their lands to the production
of cotton. It is, perhaps, too late to remedv
this now, but great relief might bo afforded
by crossing the cotton row at tlic distance of
fifteen or tweuty feet, and planting corn in
the cotton fields. Tli09e who have tried this
plan say that while it does not lessen the
amount of cotton raised, it wifi secure from
five to eight bushels of corn from every acre
planted in cotton. This is worth trying,

Referring to the case of the picayune Mas

Richmond some days ago for incendiary
speeches to the blacks, the Times of tliet city

After the “humble pie” which the luckless
agitator vicariously devoured on yesterday in

worth the cost of an indictment. The Mayor,
after reading him a characteristic lecture,
duly emphasized with snuff and shirt-frilly
may direct one of the police to “turn him
out,” as Toby did the troublesome fly, who
was not worth smashing;
In declaring that he regarded negroes as
better than white men, he has simply decided
his own status inferior to that of the African,
without doing any very serious damage to
the generally recognized claims of the Cau-
cassian race to mental and physical superior
ity. Having proclaimed his inferiority to
tile negro, it now remains to be seen whether
the freedmen will permit him to fraternize
with them upon terms of equality in “street
C8rs, churches, hotels and theatres.” • When
they get the dress circle, they may banish the
self-proclaimed Helot to the “upper galle
ries.”
We indulge the hope that henceforth wc

impartiality beyond cavil or dispute.—
Ho has refused, in the most satisfactory man

after be permitted to howl and bellow, after
the fashion of the orators at the negro
churches. With this exercise of authority
tho whites are content); for they do not de
desire to injure the negro, nor do him any
Bort of injustice.
Tho violent state of feeling in Richmond is
abnormal, and not the result of tho changed
relations of the two races. It has been
brought about by the infamous speeches
which have been delivered almost nightly to

Origin of “Old Dominion;”—Few things,
says an exchange, are so well calculated to
awaken in the mind of the proud Virginian
wandering in foreign lands touching rernin-
isccnses of home and kindred, ns the simple
mention of tho “Old Dominion.” And yet
there are comparatively few who are aware
of the term Yvhiph litis so long and so- gene
rally been applied to Virginia. It originated
thus: During the Protectorate of Cromwell,
the colony of Virginia reiused to acknoYvledge
his authority and declared itself independent.
Shortly after, when CroniYvcll threatened to
send a fleet and army to reduce Virginia to
subjection, the. alarmed Virginians sent
messenger to Charles II., who was then an
exile in Flanders, inviting him to return iti
the ship with the messenger and be King of
Virginia.
Charles accepted tbe invitation, and was on
the eve of embarkation when he was called
to the throne of England. As soon ns ho ivas
fairly seated on tho throne, in gratitude for
the loyalty of Virginia, he caused her coat of
arms to be quartered Yvilh tboso of England,
Ireland nnd Scotland, and as an independent
member of the Empire—a distinct portion of
the “ Old Dominion.” Hence arose the ori
gin of the term. Copper coins of Virginia
M ere issued even ns late as the reign of George
HI, which bore on one side the coat of arms
of England, Scotland and Virginia.
