THE TELEGRAPH.
MACON FRIDAY, JULY 1C, 1869.
Bibb County Farmers* Club.
Almost all the important counties of Georgia
have now their Fanners’ Clubs, in very success
ful operation; and as a medium for diffusing
valuable information in regard to all points of
plantation, farm and garden economy, they
are altogether unrivalled. Gathering weekly
or semi-monthly, these cultivators of similar
soils, in similar conditions, indulge in familiar
discussion upon the state of their crops—the
different modes of culture they have pursued
the different fertilizers and manures they have
used, with the comparative results. Their expe
riences in the use and adaptation of new and old
agricultural implements—their different modes
of plowing, subsoiling, ditching, draining—of
feeding and training stock—of the pruning and
culture of fruit trees and vines—of the man
agement of laborers, and, in short, of everyone
of the ten thousand things which concern farm
ers and planters; and the result is that every
ttiht, w ho listens, gets the benefit of the entire
stock of information and experience.
Can anything be more profitable to cultivators
of the soil? Nay, more—we might well ask
whether any thing can be more interesting to
the general reader. To us, indeed, there is
hardly any reading more attractive than these
familiar debates now reported in almost all
the Northern daily papers, covering, as they do,
the whole range of farm, garden and house'
hold economy,and illustrated, as they frequently
are, by the choicest trophies of agriculture and
horticulture. Bibb county should not be behind
her neighbors, and behind the world. Let hor
planters, farmers and gardeners have, like all
the rest, their weekly or semi-monthly exchange
and conference.
From Lowndes County.
The South Georgia Times of the 7th, chroni.
cles a distressing account in Valdosta, as fol
lows:
On last Saturday the 3d inst., as a lumber
train was passing this place, going down, Rich
ard Myddleton, a little boy of ten years of age;
from Savannah on a visit to his relatives here,
attempted to jump from the warehouse plat
form to the train while it was in motion—miss
ing his footing—fell between the cars and was
literally ground up from his hips downward.—
He was the only son of James W. Myddleton,
formerly of Savannah. His remains were taken
to his widowed mother the same day.
Outrage Near Oubley’s Station.—We learn
that a highly respectable young lady of this
county, living near Ousley’s Station, was
assaulted by a negro whilst on her way home
from Mr. J. G. Moore’s, where she had been to
spend the day. The villain struck her on the
head with a fence mil, inflicting a dangerous
wound. Her screams frightened him from the
accomplishment of his design, and Mr. J. G.
Moore came to her assistance, but too late to
capture the brute.
The late lamented Major F. G. Pendleton is
succeeded byhis son, F. C. Pendleton, jr. in the
proprietorship and editorial management of the
Times. Mr. L. W. Andrews, Major Pendle
ton’s associate,, retires and has been appointed
President of the Thomasville (N. C.) Female
College. The Times complains of the intolera
ble heat of the weather.
Deatli of Mrs. Jobn S. Thrasher.
We are pained to learn that Mrs. John S.
Thrasher, wife of Colonel Thrasher, formerly
Agent of the Southern Press Association, died
in New York yesterday.
Mrs. Thrasher was a sister of Mrs. T. R.
Bloom, of this city, and was in Macon in full
health about six weeks ago, on a visit to Mrs.
Bloom.
She went on to New York, was seized with
inflammation of the bowels, anddied after three
days’ illness.
From Greene County.
Mercer University Commencement begins on
the Uth, with a Commencement Sermon by
President H. H. Tucker. The Herald announces
the death of U. S. Davis last Monday evening.
The “Canaan University” held a barbecue on
the day we celebrate, to which Greene county
contributed eggs, chickens, ducks, geese and
lambs, under a system of forced levies.
Something Wrong.—From the first issue of
the Journal to sometime last spring we received
regularly in exchange the Macon Daily Tele
graph and wo appreciated if we did not folly re
ciprocate the obligation. It was then discon
tinued, for some cause unknown to ns, and we
missed the reading of a very excellent paper.
This week we again find on our table the Tele
graph. How is it?
Bo says the Marietta Journal, bnt on inquiry
at the mailing department we find the entry to
that paper has never been erased. The fanlt is
not with us.
A Beautiful Sight.—Mr. J. E. Taylor, of
Colaparchee, Monroe county, sends us a single
cluster of pears counting sixteen—all so close
that the most of them tonch each other. They
are of the variety which in onr boyhood nsed
to be called tbe orange pear. We do not know
what name they now go by.
The press items state that General Grant
is satisfied with the result in Virginia, which we
hope is true.
They also say that the order to turn over the
Laboratory to the State Agricultural Society was
signed yesterday.
The body of a young woman, outraged and
murdered, was found a short distance below
the mouth of Richland creek, eight miles from
Nashville, on Tuesday afternoon last It had
been in the water a fortnight
Mb. Fobnzt and Virginia.—The ubiquitous
Mr. Forney appears to have let himself out up
on Virginia. During the election he sent the
following dispatch to the Wells organ in Rich
mond:
“If Virginia decides for liberty, Pennsylva
nia is saved and the whole Sonth secured for
ever to justice and equality. I spoke last night
at Alexandria to the grandest meeting ever held
in Eastern Virginia. Our friends there are full
of pluck. “J. W. Fobnet.”
Well, since Virginia did not decide for “liber
ty” as Forney understands the word, is Pennsyl
vania lost ? Forney’s liberty is the liberty to
dominate over the weak.
Gapt. John Shiver, of Americas, died on the
morning of the 6th instant, and was buried with
masonic honors, and by the Wide Awake Fire
Company, of which he was assistant foreman,
and by a large concourse of citizens on the 7th.
The Lost Tribes.—Some of the Northern pa
pers are trying to demonstrate that the Chinese
are the ten lost tribes of Israel. If so, they
have been found again.
Superior Court.
Thubsdat, July 8, 1868.—Argument in case
No. 9, Cherokee Circuit—Chapman vs. Akin—

H Quite a number of the cotton mills in Eng
land, where the operatives have been on strike,
have resumed operations again, the hands con
senting to a reduction in their wages.
The Bishops and the Archbishops who are to
have seats at the (Ecumenical Council number
nine hundred and twenty-two, of whom six hun
dred belong to tbe Tjtfin races.
The British Parliament has spent over $100,-
000 in investigations to discover whether the
coal supply of the kingdom is sufficient to last than I intended,
forever.
Will the Cotton Crop Decrease T
Is a question editorially discussed in the-New
York Times of the 6th instant The Times con
cedes some of the facts as they are generally
accepted in the Sonth in regard to the falling
off of negro productive labor. Thfi women are
snbstracted from the field laborers, and many of
the male hands have abandoned the fields for
the towns. Furthermore, he admits that “the
increase of the black population has decidedly
fallen off since emancipation.” But he still
maintains that the blacks are increasing in a
diminished ratio, and there is no danger of the
race dying oat.
Some of the Times' ideas are very peculiar.
For illustration, he maintains, as one reason for
the diminished natural increase of the negroes,
that “improved physical conditions have an ap
parently direct effect in decreasing an unreas
onably abundant population;” and yet,
the same article, he asserts that the negroes, in
a state of slavery, never increased so fast as the
Northern whites! He asserts as one grand
reason for the diminished cotton crop, that the
Southern planters “have felt it a necessity to
give a part of their land to com, and other
crops, so as to be less dependent on outside
sources for food!” Now, if the Times should
accidentally discover that the diminution in the
com and other crops" is greater than in
cotton, he will be surprised.
Lastly, the Times has found out, what will
astonish onr readers, that Georgia has increased
her ante-bellum cotton crop! He speaks of the
production of Georgia last year as greater than
that under any year of slavery; when, reckon
ing what fonnd outlet at the Florida ports, it is
full fifty per cent- loss. But though the Times
makes an eqnal muddle in its facts and ratioci
nation, we believe the cotton crop vcM slowly in
crease—not because the people are going to
abandon all other crops—not because the ne
groes are going to increase in numbers and effi
ciency, bnt because the white race are going to
take hold of the business with increasing power,
vigor, efficiency and intelligence—because they
are going to farm better—use more manures—
work harder, and avail themselves of every pos
sible means to swell their crops so long as cotton
will bring twenty cents a pound.
Then, too, John Chinaman will take posses
sion of the Mississippi bottoms, and when this
is done the cotton crop will once more rise to
surpass its old volume.
Difficulties of the Situation.
The Savannah Republican, quoting the fol
lowing from tbe Chicago Republican, illustrates
the difficulties of the position:
“If that State (Georgia) should persist in oc
cupying a contumacious attitude, she may even
yet be the last of the Confederate units to re
gain her forfeited position in the sisterhood of
the Union. We believe that we speak the
almost universal sentiment of the Repnblican
party, when we aver that Georgia cannot secure
national representation, withont first restoring
to the colored members-of her Legislature the
seats of which they were deprived merely to
gratify the prejudices of caste, and to evade the
spirit of the reconstruction policy of Congress.”
The Republican follows the .extract with a
long and ingenious exposition of the case. Ho
protests that Georgia is not contumacious—that
the decision against negro eligibility was made
in good faith—that such was the understanding
when the Constitution was adopted—that the
negroes cannotnow be reseated because it would
be against parliamentary law, and, if Georgia
should decline to disregard parliamentary law,
it should not be brought as an offence against
her. That the Radical party ought to bo con
tent to wait till new cases arise—new negro
members elected, and then the Supreme Court
decision shall govern the Legislature.
All this is very fairly and eloquently put; but
the Republican knows, as well as wc, that the rad
icals are not going to wait. A great many of
them will be only too glad for an excase and op
portunity to make a case of Georgia. We gave
fifty thousand too many democratic vote3 for
Seymonr at the last election, and the long and
short of it is that Georgia, as at present recon
structed, hold3 out no hope for radicalism;
whereas, under the ingenious manipulations of
the congressional majority, she may possibly be
brought into line. The practical point for Geor
gia to consider is whether it he worth while
to refuse to reseat these negroes at such risks.
From Talbot and Harris Comities.
The West Georgia Gazette announces the
death of Mr. T. H. Persons, of Talbotton, at the
age of sixty-eight. His disease was congestion
of the brain. From the same paper we take the
following:^
Cbots in Harris.—We learn from a citizen of
Harris that the crops of that county are much
better than for many years past. There has
been plenty of rain for corn and not too mnch
for cotton. The wheat yield was large.
Crops in Talbot.—From all parts of this
county we hear favorable reports of the crops.
Should the seasons continue favorable, it is es
timated by old farmers that the crop of corn and
cotton in 18G9 will exceed that of any year with
in the last ten. The oat crop is excellent. Our
people generally are sanguine.
Death op an old Citizen.—Mr. James Elli
son, of this county, died at his residence on the
first day of this month in the 82d year of his
age.
Personal.—Gen. W. S. Holt, President of the
Southwestern Railroad, is at present sojourn
ing Talbotton. He is the guest of onr genial fel
low-townsman, Mr. John F. Noal.
The Gazette is down on the Chinese and for
eign immigration fever, and thinks if the art of
navigation had been lost at the close of the re
volutionary war, the people of the South, in
stead of being ground to death between the nig
ger and the yankee, might now have been a
happy and prosperous people.
Talbotton was under the full pressure of com
mencement season. The commencement ser
mon of Levert College was preached by Dr.
Lovick Pierce, at the age of eighty-six.
Crops on Bed River.
On Red River, Gunnet’s Landing, La.,)
June 15th, 1869. >
Editors Telegraph :—I am planting 150 acres
in cotton; 100 acres in corn. If no disaster
comes upon it I will make 150 bales of cotton.
The crops in this part of the State are very
promising and are better than they have been
for four years past. If they continue as they
are at this time, the yield of corn and cotton
will be immense. Com will be worth nothing
here, for I have never seen such crops in my
life, and it is almost made.
From Early Connly.
x Blakely, Ga., July 7, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : As I see nothing in y<4or
valuable paper from this county in relation to
crops, prospects, etc., I have thought proper to
give you a few dots upon (big point I have
traveled around through the county consider-
ably, and I think that I can correctly represent
the crops as quite promising. The seasons have
been fine all through the month of June, and
up to this time. The freedmen have worked
well as a general thing.
I see some account of the number of forms
produced upon the farms m Middle Georgia.
Several of our farmers have stated to me that
they have cotton, (single stalks,) with from one
hundred and fifty to two hundred forms to the
stalk. Mr. Alexander P. Harp, on h\s river
plantation, told me, several days ago. that he
counted on a single stalk two hundred and five
forms and bolls. I think this will beat anv- j
thing I have yet seen in regard to the yield tlie
present year. Early county lands are as well,
if not better, adapted to the culture of cotton,
potatoes, peas, etc., than any other portion of
Southwest Georgia. The health of the county
up to this time is fine—late in the season, how
ever, we usually have some chills and fever on
the creek. But I have extended this longer

8 ABB ATS OOBOOI. GRUBS ATION AT MOUNT VERNON
CROPS GOOD BUT WEATHER DRY.
Vienna, Ga., July8tb, 1869.
Bear Telegraph : Having seen but very little
saiddnyonr paper of late in regard to old Dooly,
her people, prospects, &c., I have decided to
give youVfew items pertaining to such local
matters MS' aA' of general interest to yonr
readers.
-"On Saturday last (Sd of July,) I and several
other gentlemen and ladies by invitation at
tended a Sabbath School celebration at Mount
Vernon Baptist Church, some seven miles north
west of Vienna. Although we made an early
start in order to travel in the cool of the day, a
numerous crowd had arrived at the church be
fore we reached there, and by nine o’clock, the
hour appointed for the commencement of the
exercises, the assemblage had become so large
that the church was not sufficient to hold the
half of them. At the appointed hour Judge S.
Adams called the school to order and announced
the order of the day; and the exercises were
opened with singing by the teachers and pnpils,
and prayer by the Rev. N. A. Homady. To
the praise of both teachers and stndents the
singing was of such superior character as not only
to gratify bnt delight the assembled audience.
The exercises consisted of repeating such por
tions of the Scriptures as had been memorized
by the pupils, and singing alternately.
The teachers and patrons of the school had
for the purpose of inducing the students to exer
cise diligence in their studies agreed to give the
male and also the female who memorized and
recited the greatest number of verses of the scrip
tures a handsome Bible.
'We were greatly gratified and astonished by
the number of verses memorized and repeated
by many members of the school, bnt it is due to
Gabriel Butler, of tbe males, and particularly to
Mis3 Katie Zant and Miss Mollie Butler, of the
females, to say that they by far excelled all
others.
The committee awarded a Bible to Gabriel
Butler, he having memorized and repeated
more scripture than any other male member of
the school. To Miss Katie Zant, a girl in her
tenth year, was awarded a Bible, she having
committedto memory and repeated eleven chap
ters of the New Testament, consisting of three
hundred and fifty-five verses.
The teachers and patrons of the school, by
recommendation of the committee, presented a
Bible to Miss Mollie Butler, a girl in her four
teenth year, for having memorized and repeat
ed three hundred and four verses of the New
Testament scriptures.
The Rev. N. A. Homady, the speaker for the
occasion, delivered a beautiful and instructive
address, replete with, sound advice and lessons
of wisdom.
Judge Chas. Powell and Rev. Robert M. Owen
each, on being called for, delivered extempora
neous addresses of much force and power, calcu
lated to inspire their hearers with zeal in the
Sabbath School enterprise.
A superb dinner, consisting of barbecued
meats and such other rarities as the gentlemen
and good ladies of that neighborhood know so
well now to get up, had been prepared, of which
we all partook with great gusto, and although
not clothed in fine linen, we can truthfully say
that all fared sumptuously and that all things
were done decently and in order.
Having recently seen and conversed with plan
ters from nearly every part of the county, I can
assure you that there never was a better pros
pect at this time of the year for good crop3.of
both com and cotton, than there is in Dooly at
the presentrime.
There is, however, at this time, in this as
well as many other neighborhoods of the coun
ty, a great want of rain, and if dry weather
continues long it will prove disastrous to the
planters, as it will prevent the maturing of the
crops of both com and cotton.
The negroes are working better and are less
troublesome than heretofore. They have learned
that working pays better in Dooly than stealing.
Yours, etc., Buncombe.
From Dooly.
CONDITION OP THE CBOPS—THE SOCIAL AND FINAN
CIAL STATUS—MASONIC CELEBRATION AT DRAY
TON.
Vienna, July 7, 1869.
Editors Telegraph, Macon, Ga.: After a long
silence, I resume my pen to give yourself and
your numerous readers a few items from Dooly,
as your correspondents from this county have
been somewhat remiss of their duty recently.
I have, within a few weeks just past, had a
fair opportunity of seeing mnch of the crops of
the county. Lands were usually well prepared
in the winter and spring, and a considerable
amonnt of fertilizers used; bnt on account of
the cold, crops started off slowly and were also
checked by the dry weather of May, though it
was a favorable season for chopping and thor
oughly cleaning the various crops. The month
of June was ushered in by frequent warm show
ers in most of the county, which caused the
crops, then small, though green and healthy, to
bound up as if by magic, which very soon caused
the almost universal remark: “The best crops
I have ever seen in Dooly."
We are, however, suffering very much for
want of rain at this time, and the weather is
oppressively warm, which may, in a very short
time, blight onr now fair prospects of a crop.
Freedmen are generally working well, and are
orderly, respectful, and attentive to business,
Crime is of seldom occurrence of late, and onr
county jail, we are proud to say, has become a
useless appendage, only serving for the present
as a warning to offenders; the grass now
grows in front of it where criminals formerly
walked.
Our county is clear of debt, and has funds in
the treasury, and, ns little as has been said of
it, we have one of the best farming counties—
and con boast of as honorable, independent,
hospitable and intelligent a class of citizens as
any county in the State.
There was a Masonic Celebration at Drayton,
in this county, on the 24th of Juno last There
were some four hundred persons present, the
mystic tie being well represented. The masons
formed at their hall, and marched to an aTbor
near town, within a short distance of Wallace
Mills, where they, together with the large
crowd there assembled, were entertained with
interesting addresses from Judge S. Rogers, the
Rev. Mr. Hornady and Dr. Timberlake.
At the conclusion of the addresses all were in
vited to a beautiful oak grove to large and com
modious tables, which were heavily laden with
the best the country affords. You may rest as
sure that I, like all others present, feasted the
inner man to heart’s content, and it is needless
to say that we dwelt with full emphasis upon
one of the finest barbecues it has ever been my
happy lot to partake of. After we were through
dinner I fully appreciated Gen. Grant’s motto:
‘‘Letus have peace.”
Everything passed off pleasantly and in order.
All seemed to vie with each other to make out a
full bill of fare of enjoyment. Dooly was out
in fnll feather—beauty and intellect were pre
dominant features on the occasion. There was
a general feest of reason and flow of soul.
Late in the afternoon a portion of the young
folks, not yet tired of enjoyment, by invitation
adj onmed to the residence of Elijah Butts, Esq.,
where they tripped the light fantastic too till
the small wee hours of the night. I think that
many a young couple will date the 24th as the
commencement cf a course of true love which
we trust, for those interested, may smoothly
glide together gently down the tide of life.
Yours, etc., ' Junius.

Mrs. Gaines publishes in the New Orleans
Times a card in relation to the suit recently in
stituted against her in that city. She says that
several of those whose names appear as plain
tiffs in that suit have assured her that they never
gave any authority to any person to institute
proceedings. She farther says that the posses
sion of her property is only a question of time,
and adds: “For years I have borne every spe
cies of persecution, until forbearance has now
ceased to be a virtue. But from all those who
meet me amicably, I will still entertain propo
sitions for compromise in the spirit of liberality
which I have at all times heretofore.,evinced.’
An Arrival of Chinese.
A CURIOUS SCENE .IN SAN FRANCISCO—SMUGGLING
OPIUM.
Ten days ago the steamer Great Republio ar
rived at San Francisco from Hong Kong, with
thirteen hundred Chinamen on board. The
San Francisco Herald describes the scenes
which ensued:
All was bustle and confusion. Babel’s voices
would have been drowned in the clatter which
ensued. The aft-gang plank was first put in
place, and the cabin passengers suffered to dis
embark. Then the Chinese from the steer
age commenced pouring out like the countless
thousands from a disturbed ant hill. Out they
came, a continuous string, along the narrow
gang-plank,loaded with boxes, bags andbundles;
some carrying them on their shoulders, some in
their arms, and some on the ends of bamboo
sticks. They were dressed in their best attire,
and evidently had donned for the occasion gar
ments which they had never worn before. As
a class they are above those who arrived re
cently by the sailing vessels, heretofore referred
to. As rapidly as they reached the wharf a
force of Cos tom-house officers directed them
where to deposit their luggage, which was laid
on the wharf, awaiting an examination. For
an hour this mass of humanity from another
world poured out. The wonder was when it
would cease, and how the ship could contain
them all; and, when they had all landed, they
covered, like a sea, nearly half of the immense
wharf.
There were not many women on board—per
haps twenty. A few of these were dressed in
silks. They were evidently imported for some
of the Chinese merchants or officials (for the
Chinese have a commonwealth, of .theiE.own» en
tirely independent of the laws of our land,) and
were carefully escorted from the wharf by po
licemen when they landed. The others were
placed standing in a row, while they were thor
oughly searched by officers for smuggled opium,
after which they were escorted from the wharf
by policemen.
After the swarm (one thousand three hundred
in number) had landed, the search, of persons
and baggage commenced. Boxes and baskets
emptied of their contents, and sounded to see if
a hollow side or false bottom did not contain
opium. Blankets were unrolled and carefully
manipulated; bundles of bamboo sticks ana
pipe stems were sounded to see if their hollows
were empty; jamwere broken into, and every
conceivable space which could contain opium or
other dutiable merchandise was thoroughly ex
amined. As'rapidly as the search was com
pleted, the owners, who also were searched,
were allowed to take their luggage and depart.
The officers (about a dozen in number) were
frequently rewarded by finding opium. It was
stowed away in every conceivable space—in false
bottoms and sides of baskets and boxes, sewed
inside of bedding and clothing, and even in the
hollow soles of their clumsy shoes. Several
jars, labelled “chow-chow,” were fonnd to be
partially filled- with opium and covered on the
top with chow-chow. One cute genius had
about a half pound stowed away in the doable
crown of his bamboo hat. Another was ob
served to keep a suspicious-looking Chinese
umbrella in his hand, which, when searched,
was found to contain in its hollow handle about
a pound of their favorite drag.
The saarchproceeded quietly and without in
terruption. The discovered opium was confis
cated, its owners taking their loss with the ut
most stolidity. It took until about nine o’clock
in the evening to complete the examination of
the crowds and their baggage. The streets
leading fromthe wharf to “Barbary Coast,”
were thronged by the fresh importations all the
afteraoonI \ Where they were all going to and
where they.could be stowed was the wonder of
all who had not seen them pour out of the steer
age of the ship. ’ ff* . ;
From Florida* '
The Floridian of the Gth announces the organ
ization of a company in Tallahasseee to con
struct a railroad from some point on the Geor
gia line to connect with some Georgia road,
and thence to Tallahassee, with the privilege
of extending the line Southward to the Gnlf.
The Directory comprises some of the wealth
iest citizens of Tallahassee.
Tallahassee is infested by burglars as bold as
the bold Turpin. The Floridian contains a let
ter to Gov. Reed, from W. S. Allen, of Key
West, on the subject of pine-apple growing in
Florida. It is as follows:
Dear Governor:—You will receive with this
a dozen Florida pineapples raised by Captain
Benjamin Baker, at his plantation on Key Largo,
about one hundred miles east from ns. ‘Captain
Baker asks me to send them to yon with bis com
pliments, and it gives me mnch pleasure to 'do
He is a very worthy and industrious citizen,
who commenced tbe cultivation of pines on a
small scale a few years since, and has sncceeded
so well that many of his neighbors are following
bis example, and I believe with like success,
hassentsome five thousandpines this yearto New
Orleans and Galveston, and (as you will believe
after seeing these specimens) they have brought
very handsome returns. There is no doubt that
thousands of acres of land from Pease Creek to
Cape Florida are well adapted to the cultivation
of pines, and the price they bring in market and
the facility with which they can be transported,
will, no doubt, render them a source of great
revenue to the Floridians in the future.
This number of the Floridian says nothing
about the crops, and contains no complaints
about caterpillar.
A Princess In a Beer Saloon-
The New Orleans Pioayune tells this story:
“Some years since the daughter of Prince
Henry of Reuss-Greiz, a small German princi
pality in the middle of Germany, became deep
ly attached to a yonng subaltern who command
ed the annual contingent furnished the army of
the King of Prussia. Of course all thought of
marrying him with the consent of the Prince
was out of the question; bat it was arranged
that the young Lieutenant should resign his po
sition in the army, and together they wonld es
cape to the United States. Embarking at Ant
werp, they came to New York, and were mar
ried there. But being young and without expe
rience in the ways of the world, their little
means were Boon exhausted, and they found
themselves in a strange land, friendless and in
poverty. They were afraid to communicate
with any of their countrymen, lest the circum
stances of their flight should become known,
and themselves arrested.
“Unacquainted with our laws, and supposing
that the authority of their petty prince was as
potent here as among the grain fields of their
native land, they sought obscurity and shrunk
from their names and station being blazoned
abroad. At last, pushed to the extreme of pov
erty, the husband, who was an excellent musi
cian, obtained a situation in the orchestra at
Niblo’s Garden, bnt learning that inquiries had
been made by the Prussian Consul of their
presence in the city, he threw up his engage
ment and came South, and in the summer of
1867 fell a victim to the yellow fever. His wife,
now left alone, and reduced to the extreme verge
of poverty, applied for and obtained a situation
The Chinese and Their Coming
Are the grand subjects of debate in onr North
ern Exchanges. The opposition to this immi
gration seems to be general and strong. Great
social, religions and political complications are
apprehended as the result. The Tribune and
other Northern prints are reproducing the Cal
ifornia arguments against the Chinese, which
are not familiar to our readers. We reprint
the following as examples:
Report of the Anti-coolie Association.—Now,
while Memphis is holding public meetings invi
ting Coolie labor to the South, the following
protest against the farther importation of Chi
nese into California, published by the Anti-Coo
lie Association, is of special interest.
“There are about 110,000 Chinese in Califor
nia, 100,000 of whom are in a state of peonage
or Slavery, and are rented ont by the Compa
nies owning them to the various parties by
whom they are employed, in gangs of from 50
to 5,000, as they may be required—their wages
being paid to the agent of the Company, who is
responsible for the performance of their labor,
and for the return of the slaves, dead or alive,
in the Celestial Empire. The bnlk of tbe fe
male portion of them are scattered throngh onr
towns and cities for the purposes of prostitution,
demoralizing our youth and laying the founda
tion of future disease and sorrow to an unlimi
ted extent. The importation of these harlot
slaves has already led to scenes of conflict on
our wharves, between the rival Companies own
ing them, and threatens to assume gigantio pro
portions. The employment of these slaves dis
places a like portion of white labor, and more
particularly of the rising generation.
There are in San Francisco about 18,000 to
20,000 boys and girls, of from 10 to 20 years of
age, tbe majority of whom are brought up in
idleness, as there is no employment for them,
and no oportunity for their learning trades, as
all the inferior work in our mills, factories,
stores, workshops, etc., that is elsewhere done
by apprentices, is here done by Chinese labor.
The consequence is that onr boys are bnt pre
paring for tbe State prison, and a vast number
of our girls must, alas! sink to the lowest depths
of degradation.
By the general employment of this slave la
bor in every branch of indstry, immigration of
deserving white people from the East and Eu
rope is retarded, and will ultimately cease,
while many now here must leave. We may in
stance the cigar makers, five hundred of whom,
with their families, who were earning good
wages, and investing and spending them here
to the advantage of the country, were com
pelled two years ago to retire before the Chi
nese labor, and leave the State. In this con
nection, it is a noticeable fact that the intro
duction of cheap labor has not cheapened the
price of a blanket, a cigar, or any other article
of home manufacture, one single cent to the
consumer.
The employment of Chinese labor on the Cen
tral Pacific Railroadmay have expedited its com
pletion a few months, but we contend that the in
jury done onr State can never be balanced by the
gain in time. Had white labor been employed,
hundreds of acres would even now have been re
claimed from the wastes and become the home
steads of happy families, who would have pur
chased the land and increased the revenue of the
Railroad Company, and also of the entire State,
while the money paid to Chinese labor has been
drained out of the country for export to Asia, nnd
on the retirement of the Chinese slaves from their
field of labor not a vestige of improvement will
remain—not even a bone of them will be left in
tbe soil.
For twelve months an epidemic has been
raging in our midst, which for a long time
baffied the skill of onr medical men and the
sanitary regulations of our city; and this small
pox. or black plague, is generally attributed to
the Chinese. From the density of their popu
lation and their peculiar mode of living, they
are subject to many diseases almost unknown
among the Caucasian race, to which we are
rendered peculiarly liable by the introduction of
Chinese into our hotels, restaurants, and private
dwellings as cooks, washers and domestic ser
vants.
It has been objected to our Association that
it is an Irish crusade against cheap labor; but,
on the contrary, we embody in our own ranks
all classes, creeds, and political parties, imbued
not with hostility to the Chinese as a race, but
fully believing that all the vast resources of
California can be fully developed, and her rail
roads, canals, and other pnbUc works, can be
as well and profitably completed by free white
labor,as they have been in tneEastern States,and
that the future greatness of California depends
more upon the general prosperity of her indus
trial classes, than upon the vast accumulations
of a few capitalists.
By order of the Central State Council of the
Anti-Coolie Association of the Pacific Coast.

Ex-Senator Wade and tbe Chinese.
Ex-Senator Wade, of Ohio, has jnst returned
He j from a visit to the Pacific Coast, and is earnest
in a beer saloon in (hia city, where she now is.
“It is a strange episode in real life, but a true j auc! if they should come in rapidly ancfinlarge
in his advocacy of Chinese immigration. He
“stated that he had visited many factories in
various parts of the word, but had never seen
any class of men as well adapted for the manu
facture of woolen fabrics as the Chinese. They
are patient, ingenious and reliable, and have
their minds so little attracted by outside matters
that they appear to be as mechanical in their
movements as the machinery they attend. The
Senator thought the people of California were
standing in their own light by rejecting this very
useful labor. He thought other States in the
Union, as soon as they understand the character
of this intelligent, patient and industrious race,
would expend millions of dollars in obtaining
them. Ho expressed the remark that before ten
years would pass the people of California would
be framing laws to prevent the deportation of
the Chinese, with far more zeal than they now
sought to prevent them coming here. He stated
that ho did not consider the subject of their im
migration to this State as of a local character,
such as its Legislature could control. It was a
national question, which, since the emancipation
of the negroes and the growing desire to extend
home manufactures, was of more importance
than almost any other subject, because these
men came here to perform labor almost exclu
sively, while the immigrants from other countries
continued as laborers only long enough to obtain
means to procure land or set np in business for
themselves. He stated that he had appointed to
meet tho heads of the six Chinese companies at
an early day, when he would endeavor to obtain
certain information from them direct. He
thought if California would adopt the national
currency, and treat the Chinese liberally, in a
few years it might become the greatest manu
facturing State in the Union. Eastern capital
ists, manufacturers and artisans preferred the
purreney of the Union to the cumbersome money
of California. He thought California commit
ted a great error in not accepting the national
currency when first introduced—on opinion
which was endorsed by all the company present,
several of whom were prominent citizens of San
Francisco.”
The New York Commercial also endorses the
movement, not only os the cheapest labor for
the Southern planter, but also as enabling the
North to procure its domestic servants. It says:
“These active and capable Asiatics will make a
great change in the aspect of the labor question,
one, and exhibits as no moralist could describe
the vissitndes of fortune. She is now perhaps
25 years of age; small in stature, with an ele
gant symmetrical figure, and face decidedly
pretty. Her face is shaded with light brown
curls, and her manners and conversation evince
one accustomed to good society. She displays
a good deal of reluctance in talking to strang
ers, bnt once interested in conversation, she
becomes animated and engaging. She seems to
feel her questionable position very sensibly and
tbe slightest allusion as to what she was, and
is now, is sufficient to provoke her to tears.”

from it—and that the Legislature is not compe

Mr. Stephens intimate that in future cases

sion, which seems of very little account since
there is no authority, according to Mr. Stephens,

The following card, which we find in tbe Niles

be remembered that the Peak and Berger com

In completing his thirtieth »imn»l tour, the
undersigned, in behalf of the Peak and Berger
Families, Bell Ringers, begs leave to return his
thanks to the people and press of the Southern
States, for the very kind and flattering reception
and liberal patronage which they have every
where accorded to him during the past season.
As there is mnch misapprehension existing in
the minds of Northern people regarding the true
state of affairs at the South, and much doubt as
to the reception Northern people would meet
with should they visit that section, I can honest
ly state as the result of my observation during
onr extended tour of over six months through
the States of Tennessee, Georgia, South Caro
lina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
that tiie stories of outrages so frequently seen
in Northern papers are, generally, emanations
from the brains of evil-minded persons, written
for effect and having no foundation in fact.
The Southern people, generally, are as well
disposed toward, treat as kindly and welcome as
cordially, any and all well-disposed persons who
may come among them either as permanent set
tlers or as transient visitors, as would the people
of any other section of onr common country.
They have suffered a great deal during the few
past years, and have by no means fully recov
ered from the effects of the war, bnt they are
hopeful for the fnture, and to all well meaning

Hon. William Sprayberry on tbe Eli
gibility Question.
The Griffin Star has brought out the Hon.
,Wm. Sprayberry on the vexed question. His
conclusions are set forth as follows:
_ Bnt as to the eligibility qnestion, a few years
since tbe white men fell out among themselves
about which of their various classes should rale
this land. The Puritan clan had the most mem
bers and the largest batteries. The Lord was
on the side that had the heaviest artillery, and
tbe cavalier clan bad to go to the wall; so the
Puritan got possession of the government, and
as a portion of his system of punishments he
decrees that negroes'shall ostensibly vote and
hold office at the Sonth, I say ostensibly, for
the negro office-holder is a mere sham. "Wher
ever you think you see a nigger holding office, it
is really not a nigger but a yankee with a nigger
hide on him. The nigger, according to the very
nature of things, cannot be anything but an au
tomaton to be worked by others, whether it be
in the cotton patch or Legislative Hall.
So the qnestion of negro eligibility to office is
reduced tothis: Shall our conquerors be allowed
to govern us thro’ the nigger, or shall we insist
on their coming in propria persona ? There is
bnt two distinct features in the proposition,
which at once settle the qnestion. The first is
a matter of taste and amounts to this only,
whether Yankee working throngh nigger is more
obnoxious than naked Yankee ? The other fea
ture is this: The Yankee having conquered us,
and declared for nigger suffrage and nigger of
fice-holding, how are we to help ourselves ? This
last is the sockdolager that settles the whole
matter, and I therefore unhesitatingly give my
opinion that the negro is eligible to office.
Very respectfully yours,
Bill Sprayberry.
Important Xews from Cuba.
Successes of the Cubans—Disaffection Among
the Spanish Troops and Volunteers—Failure
of the Policy of De Rodas—Anticipated In
surrection in Porto Rico, etc.
Special dispatch to the Baltimore Gazette.]
Washington, July 4, 1869.
The news from Cuba is of a most important
character. The Cubans have regained posses
sion of the Cinco Villas district, while General
Jordan has driven the Spaniards from Los Tu
nas and the Puerto del Padre country. The
loss of the Spanish forces is reported to have
been very large, and the disaffection in the
army and the contests between the volunteers
and regulars have resulted in the almost com
plete annihilation of the government forces in
those sections of the Island.
The attempt of De Rodas to carry cat the
policy of the present government of Spain—
that of “conciliation and promises”—has had
the effect of dividing the volunteers into two
factions. Those volunteers who have given
in their adhesion to the De Rodas Government,
and have surrendered important military po
sitions—forts, arsenals, etc.—and thus placed
them under the control of Spanish troops, are
denounced as traitors by their former comrades,
and are pursued with more enmity than even
the Cnbans who are in insurrection.
General Jordan has been placed by the Cu
ban insurgents in command of the Eastern De-
E artment of the island, and it is reported that
e has made several visite lately to Porto Rico,
and that there is a large organization in that
island ready to revolt at any moment Sympa
thy for the Cubans is said to pervade the popu
lation of the whole island.

The Terrible Conflagration in Horry
County.
We learn from the Horry News that one of the
most extensive fires ever knowp in that Bection
has been raging for the last two weeks in All
saints Parish. It broke out pear the upper end
of Ocean Bay, not far from the seashore, and
has reached the Wilson estate lands, on the
Waccamaw, six miles above Conwayboro’, hav
ing burned over a distance of nearly twenty
miles. The average breadth of the fire is un
known. The country throngh which it passed
is literally burned up. Bay after bay and swamp
after swamp have been made bare of all under
growth, and the trees and timber completely
destroyed. The savannahs, with the turpentine
boxes, are made sterile wastes. The not, dry
weather rendered it impossible to check the
onward march of the flames. It is yet burn
ing. but will be likely to stop its career on the
banks of the Waccamaw. We have not learned
the particulars concerning the losses occasioned
by this fire, bnt are satisfied that they are great.
Major W. A. Clarady had fifteen thousand tur
pentine boxes burned, and John A. Wilson five
thousand. The earth is left bare behind this
fire, the cattle range destroyed for the seMon,
the deer unsheltered, the bears and rattlesnakes
made to seek a new hiding place or destroyed
by fire. It is estimated that over one hundred
thousand acres of land was burned over. At
night the heavens were brilliant from the Inrid
flames, and the clouds of smoke that rose by
day were but portentous of the fiery storm be
neath. We shall be glad to have full accounts
of this terrible conflagration.— Charleston News.
The Broad baker Murderers.

Wm. Floyd, Jack Wiggins and Alec Edwards,

and pleaded guilty to the charge of involuntary

muted to imprisonment in the penitentiary for
one year; and Samson Wiggins, colored, in
dicted for the same murder, and who. also,
pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, has
received a full pardon from the Governor. |
Wm. Floyd, Sack Wiggins and Alec. Edwards,
were each sentenced to the penitentiarp for ten
years, and Samson Wiggins for three years.—
These men were oil equally guilty of a premedi
tated, deliberately planned, cold blooded mnr-
der, and if all had been tried, all would undoubt-'
edly have been fonnd guilty of murder; but
after two of the ringleaders had been convicted,

Court, permitted the remaining four to enter a
plea of guilty of the offence of involuntary, man-
slaughter. —Saran nah Republican.
Mr. Eugene Casserly, the new Senator from '

duty of every class of men to unite to prevent.
the introduction of the Chinese. If they come
in contact only with the common laborers to-day, j
to-morrow they will be in competition with the
mason, the bricklayer, the carpenter and the '
machinist, for they are the most frugal, indus- 1
