The Gxeorgia, "Weekly Telegraph. THE TELEGRAPH. MACON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1869. The Mississippi Election Takes place on the 30th of the present month, and if we may believe Judge Dent, with assured prospects of his success by a heavy majority.— Judge Dent is the nominee of the “Conserva tive Republicans,” with the acquiescence and support of Mississippi Democrats. The latter feel themselves compelled to buy a right to Extbxordinaby Woman.—A Pennsylvania pa per mentions the retnra of a certain O. M.

The Gold Speculations.—A New York dis- pa tell to the Louisville Courier says: “Some rich developments may be expected soon in re- from Washington, the 8th, says Judge Dent re- and the destruction of citizenship can now sur prise or alarm the people. A dispatch in the Louisville-Conrier Journal lation to the gold speculations. Fisk, Jr., and , «es very much on the excitement against Gen. brother-in-law Corbin have been subpoenaed to !

Butter field is said to have expressed fears that a party in Washington intended to make him a scape goat. If so, ho will be likely to tell some plain truths after bo is out of office. _Mks. Stowe.—John Murray, the London publisher, announces that the London Quarter ly Review for October will contain hitherto un published letters from Lady Byron to Mrs. Leigh, 1816, which completely disprove Mrs. Beecher Stowe’s story. The elder Murray hav ing been Byron’s publisher, any statement emanating from this well known house is au thoritative. The Review will be republished by the Leonard Scott Publishing Company early in November; and all who wish to secure a copy of this number should make immediate applica tion, either direct to the publishers, or to a local agent. Latest Style.—The last New York bride wore a rich dress of white satin, made with a long train, and trimmed around tbo edge with heavy white tulle mchings. The overskirt was looped npat the sides and id the back, enprinter, and also trimmed with a niching of tulle. The waist was made with a very low corsage, with the Parisian puff or band sleeve. The bridal veil was of fine white tulle, and was worn over the face by the bride on entering and leaving the church, and daring the ceremony. Good Old Rabun.—Christy, of the Athens Watchman, says he was in Rabun the other day, and “ as an evidence of the good morals of the people of Rabun connty, the foreman of the grand jury, the Hon. Horace Cannon, informed us when we were there at court, that, from the organization of the county—fifty-odd years ago —to the present time, there has not been a sin gle public execution in that county!" The Romo Courier says: Cass county took nearly all the premiums on blooded and fast horses. With such men as Waring, Milam, the Stiles Brothers, Turnlin. and others of that ilk this is not surprising. We congratulate Bartow upon the possession of such men as these. Her record at the State Fair will bo good, wo ven ture to say. Will not our people pay attention to this subject and help Captain May to have, tome stock premiums at home ? The President’s Message.—The President is reported by the newsgstherers to be in all tho agonies of composition- He began to write his First Annual Message on Monday, and all visit ors havo since been excluded from his august presence. Much curiosity is felt as to the man ner in which Grant will acquit himself in the composition of this, his first, State paper. Fink is the Woods.—We understand, says the Columbus Sun and Times, there was an ex tensive fire in the woods, about five' miles from the city, on the Macon road, Monday night. A good deal of timber burned, and hard work was required to keep the flames from fences and houses. ' . A person named Folger was on Tuesday ap pointed AssistantXJnitedStatesTreasurerin place Of Butterfield. Fifteen female clerks in the Cur rency Bureau were Rent to New York to count tho money in tho Snb-Treasnry, nnd to verify Butterfield’s account. Wanted.—The Athens Watchman wants three thousand more new subscribers,which is the very thing the Telegraph has been after for a long time. But to show that wo are more reasonable than CoL Christy, we would, on a pinch, compro mise with twenty-five hundred. that he publicly made such a declaration. Dent called at the White House to-night and had a long talk with the President. He will not retain to Mississippi until after the election. magazines. The 19Tn Century for November was re ceived yesterday, and has a varied table of con tents. Ex-Gov.

Wo clip the following from the Hawkinsville Dispatch of the 11th: Nearly Done.—Wo learn that the bridge of tho Macon and Brunswick Railroad Company across the Ocmnlgee has been completed, and that the work of construction is now going on from both ends, at the rate of from three-quarters to one mile per day. Some fifteen or eighteen miles remain to be comple ted. Trains aro expected to run throngh by the 20th, at latest. The cars are now running tri weekly from Macon to Lumber City, a distance of 100 miles. Burning of Gin-Houses.—Hardly ever do we pick up one of our exchanges, withont reading of some gin-house having been burnt. This thing is getting qnite too common, and it is time the matter was being looked into. We can’t be lieve that all these fires result from accident. Let our farmers store their cotton as soon as packed, and keep up a vigilant watch around their gin-houses. A Good Rain.—The first good rain we have bad for lo these many weeks, fell on last Tues day evening aiid night. We believe it rained nearly the whole of that night, and puddles re mained in the streets yesterday. The spell be ing at last broken, we may look for an ample supply of the watery element for some time to come. The riddance from the heavy sand and dust with which we have so long been troubled, is a great relief to both our pedal extremities and respiratory organs. Cotton Market.—As will be observed, by reference to our weekly statement, the price of the staple has come down a little, and is still falling. Below will be found the shipments by railroad and receipts at the ware-house for the week ending the 9th: Bales. Shipments to date by railroad 383 Beceipts to date at warehouse 123 Total receipts 300 General Stagnation. There is now, and has been for a few weeks ■ last, a general stagnation in political affairs. ! tfot a ripple is visible on the placid surface, and everything seems to be calm and serene. This is not because the people are specially delighted with the situation, but grows out of tho fact, we we apprehend, that they are heartily sick and tired of the noise and turmoil of the past few years, and want repose. Congress will shortly meet again, and tho ng- pest. How far they may succeed remains to bo The Onondaga stone giant was removed on 8e011, l»at Friday from tho place where it was first dis severed and taken to Syracuse.

Zeilin & Co.’s old wooden tinderbox as a triumph of their skill in putting out fires. They say people who can arrest a fire midway under such circumstances, can do almost anything—and perhaps they can.

We notice many new faces in our streets al ready, and expect next week to chalk onr boots SO that we may not be taking feet which don’t belong to us. Judge Embery, of Kentacky was on Tuesday last appointed Minister to Equador, vice Nnnn, declined. ■ 8hellabargeb, oLOhio, United States Minis ter to Portugal, is coming homo on account of oontinued ill health. __ Homicide.—Tho Columbus Sun and Times of Wednesday says: One of those shocking affairs which are so unfreqnent in this quiet city, occurred yester day about 1 o’clock in the afternoon. 'Mr. Joe Allen, a young man 22 years of age, son of Mr. John S. Allen, of this city, was .shot and killed by Doe McDaniel, of Girard, a man about 35 years of ago, a bridge builder, who works on the Mobile and Girard Railroad, below Lin- wood. The affair occurred in Bradley’s Er- ohange, a bar r?ciu nearly opposite our office. SHIVERY. A Hard Winter Impending. Withont claiming to be specially weatherwise ourselves, although we have some views of onr own on thesnbjeetof the seasons, deduced from observation, experience and study, we can not bnt attach sufficient credit to the signs and to kens which old hunters and woodmen on this continent, and scientific calculators in Europe, are adducing to sustain the prediction that we are to have an early and severe winter through out the Northern Hemisphere. The beavers and prairie dogs of the West and Northwest of America, along with many other animals that honse themselves away in the cold season, have greatly advanced their preparations for the frost this year, and on the Atlantic coast the Storm King sends ns no equivocal or infre quent warning. In Europe no less important an organ of learned opinion than the Bulletin de Association Scientifigue (Bulletin of the Scientific Sooiety) announces that the winter of 1869-70 will be ex ceptionally severe on the Eastern Hemisphere. It reminds its readers of the fact that the winter of 1868-69 was very remarkable for its mildness, its mean temperature not having exceeded 6 deg. 65 min. The three most moderate preceding winters of the century had been those of 1822, 1828 end 1834, when the mean temperatures C deg., 6 deg., and 6 deg. 27 min. respectively. Previous to our century, the only winter among those of which the temperature was cal culated that approached 1868-9 in mildness was 1797. The severe cold snap which came in January last, was another point of resemblance between these two seasons, for there was no such lowering in the temperature in the mild winters that we have mentioned. The other singular accompaniments of this similarity will attract the notice of any close observer. M. Besou, writing to the Bulletin above men tioned, tells the world that since the atmospheric perturbations of 1859-60, the years have been warmer, clearer and dryer, and the barometer iressure lighter than before. The anomalies, ie, thinks, cannot fail to find their compensa tion ere long, the winter before last closely cor responding with that of 1828, and everything betokening that about 1870 wo shall have a great winter like that of 1829-30. To those whose business consists -in the sale of all sorts of winter wear and seasonable ma terial, this is no unwelcome news; especially when comfort and plenty already fill their homes; but to the poor it is alarming. Fuel, clothing, bread and all, they npprehend, will bo dearer, and work harder to get Meanwhile the frightful tempests that have recently raged along the Atlantic coast, and far away into the interior, have destroyed heavy stocks of grain and cattle, and although, as the gold operators told the government before the Wall street plot, American wheat could not be sold in Europe to compete with the Black Sea and Mediterranean article, while gold was as low as the thirties, the foreign demand, in view of the long and heavy winter, may yet help to enhance rates for the necccssaries of'life. As it is, we are not sorry to perceive that our inland traders are hastening to lay in a sufficient stock of goods while prices are comparatively low, thus enabling their people to buy at rates which will leave them some cash on hand for the agricultural requirements of next year. The savants afe not invariably right, but there is accumulated evidence in their favor to show that, on general indications and careful comparisons kept up for years past, they can make some fair pTediotions concerning the year to come. At all events, thrift and wise precau tion never do any harm, and should the phe- nominally severe season thus predicted ensue, our friends may not blame us for having given this hint in good time.—New York Mercantile Journal. Habits of Some of the Cabinet. Washington, November 7.—President Grant’s chief mode of recreating while in Washington is a long walk early in the morning and .a ride after dinner. One day, for instance, the Presi dent starts out from the White House and walkB towards the Capitol along F street and back, and the next day, by way of variety, takes his coarse along Pennsylvania avenue towards Georgetown. He may bo seen almost any morning enjoying this pedestrian exercise. He walks along very slowly, with one hand in his breeches pocket and the other either holding a cigar or thrown behind his back. A strange little man is Grant in his walks. He never looks to the right or left, but straight before him, or towards the ground. and seems not to notice any of the passers. His manner is alto gether that of a man wrapped up in his own thoughts and nnconscious of what is happening about him. Many who know him pasB Presi dent Grant in these walks, but very few venture to join him. BOUTWELL AS A BILLIARD 1ST. Boutwell is a good deal of a walker also, but his chief amusement is of another kind. Tho financial head of the country is an enthusiastic billiardist. To him the cue and balls 'aro a per fect delight. After a busy day spent in close attention to tho dry work of his department, the elegant Governor, who, by tho way, is growing in his manner very like unto Charles Sumner, repairs to a select billiard saloon on Pennsylva nia avenue, and there spends two or three hours making his carroms. Boutwell is not a profes sor of the scientific game, but he is a very fair player and improves apace. Ho has a cue of lis own, which he brings with him to the billiard saloon nnd carries home with him when he fin ishes playing. Georgo S. may be seen issuing from the saloon sometimes as late as midnight. THE OTHER MINISTERS. Fish scarcely ever is seen in the role of a pedestrian on the streets. He rides to and from the State Department in a stylish little coupe, and after official hours generally passes his time at home in entertaining select parties at dinner. Belknap and Robeson are great walkists. The former- is a splendid looking gentleman, the very picture of good health, with fine, clear, dark eves, ruddy complexion, and a well put together frame. He is not, as formerly describ ed in some of the newspapers, “a bijj, red-whis kered and red-faced fellow from Iowa.” To sum Belknap up in that style would he doing him great injustice. lie has quite an intellec tual face, and carries about him a self-reliant, independent air, that stamps him as a man of decided character. He has made a very good J- B*3T TELEOSAPH. \ FBOSf WASHINGTON. Washington, November 11.—Ex-Secretary Walk er is dead.

The Lillian rounded Cuba, going east, on the south Bide, without attempting to land her men. She appeared west of Naeean on the 16th, with flying Cuban colors and short of coal, having previously landed one hundred and fifty men near Naseau with two days’ provisions. The Lillian attempted to coal next day, a few miles at sea, but the coal schooners were seized by tho Eng lish gunboat Starlight. The Starlight fired into the Lillian, The Lillian returned to Nassau and was taken possession of by the English authorities somo twelve hours afterwards. The Lillian sank, and lies acroBS the reef with her bock broken. Nearly all the persons brought to Key West are Cu bans. The communication is signed W. W. Queen, com mander, U. S. Nary.

Charleston, November 11.—The wholesale gro cery stores of Klatte A Co., and J. N. M. Wlioll- man, on East Bay street, were burned last night. The adjoining large establishment of B ; O’Neil, was much injured. Estimated loss 350,000—partially insured. THE PRESBYTERIAN REUNION. Pittsburg, November 11.—The Joint Committee on a ro-union of tho Presbyterian assemblies havo reported informally that they had agreed upon all legal points, and recommended the appointment of a committee, and both bodies to complete the de tails of reconstruction. The united assembly meets in Philadelphia in May next. This report is regard ed as deciding the question of re-union. FROH CUBA.

He Hashes Round Generally. [We publish from the New York Independent the following remarkable letter, as it originally appeared. Although our readers have already seen extracts from it in the Telrgbaph, they may like to peruse the whole, as it certainly is a most remarkable utterance, and from an un impeachable witness, bo far at least as relates to the character and course of the Radicals in the South:] The South as it Is. by passes pillsbubt. Washington, D. O., October,. 1869. To the Editor of the Independent: All who travel in the Southern States since the war can learn lessons, if they will, unknown to them be fore. Many have reported their impresses to yon already, but all is net yet told. I am afraid the worst is yet unknown. Indeed, I think tiro North knows less of the actual South to-day than of almost any other portion of the globe. Republicanism bears rule there, and reports it self to please itself. Counter authorities, espe cially from Democratic sources, are oast aside as unworthy of confidence, as no doubt they often are. “beconbtbuction is a failure.” But it is timeone thing was told, and believed, too, everywhere; and that is that reconstruc tion, so far, is a failure. It is a bad failure.— From the sole of its foot to its head, if it have any head, there is no soundness in it, none whatever. It began where it should have left off, with political organizations, with suffrage and sovereignty, when the first lessons in civili zation had uot been learned, had not been taught, and have not yet been taught. Bat party supremacy required the measure, and it was adopted, against all the dictates of genuine statesmanship, as well as the demands of jus tice and humanity. And hence its failure, as could not but have been expected. PARKER WAS AN ORIGINAL ABOLITIONIST. If tho Democratio party expects to be com forted by any word of mine on the present con dition and needs of the South, it will be disap pointed. Slavery was the one sole cause of tho terrible devastation and desolation under which the South reels to-day, and from which it can not recover in a hundred years under any poli cy. Nor under the present policy in a thousand, if ever. And it is not possible for the human mind ever to forget the unceasing and unhal lowed support tho Democratic party rendered that system until the Infinite Patience conld en dure it no longer,.and in righteous wrath, at one fell stroke, stove down the god, altar and worshipers, and left them a shapeless, ghastly ruin. “THE REPUBLICAN PABTVDID NOT ABOLISH SLA VERY.” Neither political party understood the situa tion during tho war of rebellion. Neither party understands it to-day. Slavery was not abo lished by the abolitionists. Still less was it abolished by the Republican party. In spirit and power, it survives even thp war, with all its woes. Like everything else at the South, it is a ruin—but it is there. Both master and slave are there. And more at war than ever before. “THE NORTHERN REPUBLICAN DOES NOT LOVE THE SLAVE.” And so far the Northern element infused be tween them, instead of reconciling, has only made matters worse. T.he Northern Republican hates the master, but does not love tho slave. The North never loved tho negro raco better than did the South. It did not abolish the slave system in form for the sake of the victims, nor at all until driven to the measure by the stem exigency of military necessity for self-preserva tion. So far as any sense of justice and human ity over were intended, it was manifest enough beans, with plenty of potatoes, bad harvested fifty bushels of exoellent rice, kept a horse, a mule, two cows, with pigs and poultry on all sides of his honse (inside not exoepted, so far as poultry was concerned ;) and yet, with the exception of one plain bat cabinet-made rocking- chair, and one glass goblet, carefully kept wrapped in a clean sheet of straw paper, and brought out to give me and my friends a drink of water, the furnishing of the honse did not differ materially from those I have described. PILL8BURY TURNS UP HIS NOSR AT aMX. KABIOx’s DXMNBB. We were treated to roasted sweet potatoes, which an old grandmother pawed out of the hot ashes with her hands, and replaced with others, which she covered in the same independent way, no shovel nor tongs ever being used, seen or. known. Drunkenness is not confined to class or color, in any of the States I havo seen. Many say “ the nigger and the Indian have natural tastes and tendencies for stimulants.” Bnt with-the former it would be safe to attribute it to his im itative natnre or disposition, coming, as he ne cessarily does, into too close contact with the whites. I certainly never saw such need of a temperance reform before, anywhere under heaven. I well remember the drinking habits of New England long before the thundering elo quence of the old Dr. Beecher (sire of many sons) was denouncing every grog-shop and bar room as “ a breathing hole of hell!" But never have I seen- such wasting ravages, by drunken ness, of all moral and spiritual wealth, as here, now at full four o’clock in the afternoon of the nineteenth century. The calm appeal of Father Mathew, and the glowing, fiery zeal of a John B. Gongh, are needed in every elective district throughout the Southern States. Down right drunkenness cannot be Baid to bo an om nipresence ; bnt habitual and destructive drink ing is. Those who do not drink themselves (of whom, alas! there aro but few) furnish it for their friends, patrons, customers, and especially on election occasions to their supporters—too often in deluges and torrents. NORTHERN TEMPERANCE MEN DEINX WHISKY IN THE SOUTH. No class of politicians, from North or South, can plead exemption from this fearful charge. Young men and old men, who perhaps never tasted ardent spirits'in their lives before going to the South, now drink the horrible beverages here concocted habitually, and many of them to fearful excess. And, worse still, will provide them for the poor, besotted colored people whenever vote3, better bargains, or better work or more of it, can be had thereby. • Private virtue among public men is not look ed for, not expected, not even desired. And this is as true here in Washington as farther South or farther North. x PARKER SEES LEARNED ALDERMEN. I havo seen Aldermen when sitting at the City Council Board so drunk as that they had to be removed by tho police before busine'ss could proceed. I have eeen Aldermen and Council- men who not only could neither write nor read, but who exhibited littio capacity for public business, even when sober. And only yesterday I read in a newspaper an account, by an eye witness, of a Judge in Abbeville, down in South Carolina, on the bench so drunk as that he had to be taken home by his friends and the court adjourned. The clerk, it was added, was about as drunk as tho Judge. Whoever travels throngh the South with eyes and ears open will have no difficulty in believing all this and more, were it needful to be told. And it is absolutely needful that it should be told.and published through the nation, if we would save our nation from the doom of Sodom and Gomorrah. THE SOUTH CAROLINA LEGISLATURE CAN NEITHER BEAD NOR WRITE. A majority of the Legislature of South Caro lina are colored men, and many of them can that tho Republican party would have continued ! neither write nor read. But several of their itators will no doubt attempt to ‘stir up a tern- impression here already, and his friends predict “ “ * ibe: Pray God this extraordinary calm may not bo followed by earthquakes, thunderstorms, cy clones and tornadoes. You can’t expect radi calism to bo easy long. The old jade is just waiting to get her breath before she pitches in like a fury; Ain’t it so, Master Brook ? Immigration to Alabama. Gen. Clanton addresses the people of Alabama through tho Montgomery papers, proposing to ship European immigrants direct throngh the port of Mobilo, which has promised every assist ance. He says: No man or woman will bo engaged who does not famish a certificate of good moral character from the ministers of their respective churches or their county magistrate. A contract will be entered into in Europe, between the agent and the laborer for the faithful service of the latter until January, 1871, or longer, if necessary, to refund tbo money advanced, (oxcept the com mission to tho agent, whidh is charged against the employer, but covered by the amount ad vanced.) Tho employer will pay $5 or $10 per month. Skilled laborers, ditchers, and railroad and steamboat hands will receive more, of course; but in all cases, the rates will be mod erate. Comfortable quarters and a sufficiency of plain but wholesome food must in all cases be furnished by the employer. In no case will the expenses of tranRporta tion, for European labor, exceed one-half what is necessary to bring the Chinese into our midst. We will try Ireland firel, as the Irish speak our language, and are more anxioug than any other people to come. We hope they will be Tollowed by Germans and other nationalities.

The Montgomery Daily Advertiser of Wed nesday, says: Last night opened tho season of these gifted young sisters in Montgomery. They are ably sustained by Mr. C. B. Bishop, who proves him self to bo one of tbo finest commedians on tbe stage. The other members of the company gave great satisfaction. Tho Misses Chapman sustained in full the reputation that preceded them, and we advise all who really admire histrionic talent of tbe highest order to attend the Theatre during tho present week. They are tho daughters of that sterling actor, the late Henry Chapman, whose career on the stage was a series of ovations*— He may be said to have .rendered many char acters famous. Throngh tbe Drakes, who have contributed somo of tbe brightest names to the American stage, they get by inheritence still another vein of talent. ' This we see happily combined in Blanche and Ella Chapman, tho chief characteristics of those two histrionic names, Chapman and Drake. A word as to their personal appearance. Miss Blanche is tali, lithe and graceful in figure, with well cut, delicate features, lovely mouth and teeth, large, tender looking eyes, full of sensibility and feel ing, while a wreath of golden hair shadows a brow of snow. Add to this a sweet, low voice in speaking, and one fall of musical pathos when singing, and faultless taste in dress, and you have an imperfect picture. Miss Ella is a nice little, thing, with an exquisite figure, an arch, winning, bewitching look, and a thousand ways which render her quite irresistible. She is a dramatic chameleon who takes her color from whatever she plays and “touches nothing that she doeB not adorn.” She has ono of tho brightest, merriest faces in the world, and seems .to be brimful of mischief and fun. She is puck personified in weird pranks and pretty 8&uciness. The North German Navy, since the acquire ment of porta on the Baltic, has been rapidly increasing, and greater interest is folt among the people in maritime affairs. Tho German Society in aid of the shipwrecked is constantly receiving additions of members and contribu tions, and the operations of tbe association ore becoming more extended. The sympathy with the shipwrecked sailors is not confined to the coast districts, and tho society recently received a donation of $8000 from a resident of Bonn. The “I’ca-Xnt Picker.” Among the various labor-saving machines on exhibition at our Fair few atttracted more at tention than the “pea-nut picker,” the invention of Rev. W. A. Crocker, of Norfolk. The object to bo gained was attended with xuuoh difficulty. Owing to the delicate natnre of tho hull of the pea it could not be subjected to tho violent ac tion of the ordinary threshing machines, which would fracture them. Tbe separation of the pea from the chaff and stems, and the good pea from the pop, or sap pea, was attended with still greater difficulty, owing to the light ness of the pea and the very small difference in the weight of the good and tbo faulty ones. These difficulties have been fully overcome in thus machine. The peas aro thoroughly sep arated from tho vine, without injuring tho hull, and by an original, but simple arrangement in tho fan, a nice discrimination is made between the different qualities of peas—a part or nearly all the faulty peas being thrown out, os the op erator may choose. The machine has been operating successfully in Isle of Wight for several weeks, and has mot with tbe approval and commendation of the farmers of that section who have witnessed its work. During tho Fair, hundreds from pea-growing sections of Virginia and North Carolina have had an opportunity of seeing ils practical work ing. But one opinion has been expressed by all who have seen it, and that of nnqualfied approbation. The present one is a-light two-horse power machine. Its capacity is from 200 to 400 bush els per day, according to tho quality of tho peas and condition of the vines. It is eight feet long, three feet wide, four and a half high, and weighs about 800 or 1,000 pounds. They can be made of any size, from a hand machine to a ten-horse power. The machine is destined to have a great in fluence on the production of this valuable crop. Hitherto these peas had to be picked off the vines by hand. Four bushels per day is con sidered a fair average for a hand. A farmer who raised 1,000 bushels (and many raise four or five times that quantity) would require ten hands two months to save his crop, at a cost of fifteen cents per bushel. If the amount eaten and carried off is added, the cost will not be less than tweaty cents. The crop raised on the south side of James river, between Petersburg and Norfolk, is estimated at 1,000,000 bushels per annum. To save this crop would require the labor of 6,000 hands for two months, at a cost of $200,000. These figures will serve to show the import ance and utility of this machine. We are not surprised to learn that it was awarded a pre mium.—Richmond Whig. Equestrian Statue to General Grant.— Washington, Nov. 5.—The Committee having in charge the erection*Bf the equestrian statue of Gen. Grnnthave obtained asufficient amount of subscription to warrant them in proceeding with the work, and to-day direct the sculptor, J. A. Bailey,of Philadelphia,toproceedwiththestatuo. The statuo will bo of bronze, oast from a cannon captarcdby Gen. Grant. It is tobo of colossal size; tho pedestal is to bo a single block of granite. It will ba erected upon tho terrace on tho south ’front of the Treasury building. Tho full height of the statue will be about twenty-fivo feet, ex clusive of tho pedestal. The total cost, includ ing pedestal, will be about $55,000. Mr. Mallet, tho supervising architect of the Treasury Department, will hnve tho south front of tho Treasury repaired and ready for the statue by the first of January noxt. Another Fire.—Another alarm of fire was given on Saturday nightabont 9 o’clock, and tho citizens and fire companies rushed forth to find the extensive barns and stables on the Braswell slavery unto this day, and unto the judgment day, had not tho preservation of the nationality imperiously ordered and compelled otherwise. Year after year tbo South fought, for slavery, without Union; the North fought for the Union, regardless of slavery; for a ‘‘Union with slave holders." THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NEEDS THE BLACK MAN S BALLOT. And now the Republican party needs the black man’s ballot at the South, and is using it for its own preservation, as his bayonet and bnliet were used for the national salvation. And he is fast finding it out. Even in his own low estate he is learning who are not his friends. And his estate is lower than even the most ex treme Abolitionists ever described it. There is no tongue, no pen, no language to describe what slavery must have been, judged even by tbo gloomy shadows of it which survive. I would that Mr. Garrison and Wendell Phillips could spend one month in the cotton fields and rice swamps of the Carolina3 and Georgia. I have seen only the Atlantic States ; but these are tho best.Jnot the worst. They would sooh see that suffrage is not the one thing .needful for the emancipated slaves, men nor women ; however it might have been for the interests of a party; and above all things, nnless that suf frage were directed by a far other than the present order of politicians there. For it must b8 said that far the larger part of the Northern men at the South have partaken in the general moral and political corruption that ruled there so long. That ruled until the present ruin followed. PILLSBUBY SAYS THE NEGRO “STEALS FRIGHT FULLY.” Many havo undertaken to cultivate the land by hiring tho former slaves and paying them wages. But in nine instances out of every ten they havo failed altogether, though paying wages on which it is hardly possible tho labor ers can live withont begging or stealing, both of which are practiced there to a frightful extent. Almost any man who employs any considerable number of hands keep3 a little store of groce ries and provisions, nnd pays them out of it. And usually tho week’s work is all taken up, so that scarcely ono in a hundred can improve his condition under this order of things. THE SOETHEBN WHITE MAN SWINDLES THE NEGRO. I saw gang after gang paid off at night, some times fifty or sixty at a time, and not five dol lars in money was paid to the whole of them. For com they allow fifty cents a peck; for ba con, which yon and I would not eat at any price’, they gave twenty-five cents a pound; and the prices of labor varied from half a dollar to a dollar a day. I have seen sturdy, healthy young fellows, of twenty and upward, working for two dollars a week and boarding themselves. I «aw women doing days’ work that no white man in New England or New York cc»W do at any price, for seventy-five centa a day, all paid in goods (or bads), groceries and provisions. Some of these stores keep very decent articles, but not all. THE PBKEDKEN DBIXK MUCH BAD WHISKY. Most of them that I have seen keep whisky in a barrel on tap—called whisky by courtesy, but generally, 1 am assured, a oompound of abominations fit only to transform the. dupes Seward, but unoconp: stalls was used by a colored butcher. Some at tempt was made to save the barn, but no water could be obtained and the heat from the stables too great to allow workmen upon tbe roof where it first took fire.

Dent insists the proof is ample, in affidavits on file in the War Department,\tbat Ames threat ened to carry tho election by bayonets. i *' very best friends assured me that they should never see such again for the sake of the colored race itself—uot even to save the State from tho Democratic party. Such burlesque on the very name of government, they declared, was never before seen. I have witnessed myself enough to easily understand that it must be so. COLORED VOTES AT FIVE DOLLARS APIECE. At the opening of tho session, colored votes were easily bought at five dollars, though later they rose on their price. YANKEES COVERING THE WOOL. One shrewd Yankee from Massachusetts, [not Tim ?] not a member, bnt who had some schemes to lobby through the Legislature, carried to tiro capita! some cases of new hats; and with them as legal-tender drove qnite a spirited and suc cessful business. Sad examples for white North ern Republicans to set before a people just emerging from tho darkest degradation and cruelest, bloodiest bondage and oppression that ever scourged the human race! With all the frightful realities of their past history still crushing them down, with tho withering preju dice against their color still raging around them on every hand, and with such examples continu ally set before them by those whom they not only regard as the superior race, but have been told a thousand times aro their best and only friends—what wonder that they are not to-day many of them, oaeldegree higher in the scale of moral being than when their freedom was first proclaimed 1 To me it seems absolutely com plimentary to human nature’that they have done no worse. . It is often said at the North, and in the South as well, that what is most needed here is capital. That - is not true. What the South needs most is men and women. Not adventurers, mere plunderers, as so many are Who have gone there smeethe war, seeking whom and what they may devour—ravenous beasts, who only go forth to seek their prey, intending to go back to their native Northern dens to riot on and enjoy it af terwards. The South needs intelligent men and women, of industrious, virtuous and thriving habits, who will go there and identify themselves with the South, to share her fortunes for better, for worse—men who shall regard the colored man for more than his vote, and the colored woman for more than her virtue, and both as important to them only os they can income wav subserve their own interest, oovnenience and pleasure, with no thought whatever as to what shall be the fate of thdr victims. Formerly few labored at the South except slaves and free col oredpeople. That the native Southerner should still hold to his old idea and habit of idleness is not strange. But almost every Northern man who comes at once contracts the same. Very few wliite men intend to work here any more than did the slaveholders fifty years ago. La bor is about as disreputable now as ever. YANKEES CHEATING THB TOOB NEGRO. And Northern men are to-day all through the Southorn Atlantio States deluding or driving the colored people into working for them at prices or on conditions that would bo deemed down right insult if proffered to any good working man in New England.

The young Western emigrant who wrote back to his father, a disappointed office-seeker in Vermont, to come to tho West, and urged as a reason that “most almighty mean men conld getinto office,” would find good gronnd for auch argument all throngh the Southern States. With such resources as the North is now furnishing the South in great measure, her last state must inevitably be worse than the first. There aro two elements in action at the South, of which I have not yet spoken—her churches and her schools. Of the former X have only to say that for almost a hundred years they de fended and practiced slaveholdtag, with all its heathenism, cruelty and beastiaJity; seeking thoir argument in the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Apocrypha to boot; sepa rating by sale, husbands and wives who were also members of the same church, and justify ing it on the ground, as they said and published, “that such separation is civilly a separation by death, and we believe that in the sight of God it will be so viewed.” All this, and more and more and worse, the churches did, and sane- tioned and sanctified. And so far as I can see, they are still just the same churches in form, spirit and power, and just as'disastrous in their influence as ever before; and so nothing good can be expected of them. The one ground of hope for the South is in often been told, the same diet serves nearly all the white people also. I have hoard of “ hog and hominy ” as a Southern bill of fare com plete long time ago; but had no idea how lite ral or how general was its application. A FINE OPENING FOB FURNITURE DEALERS. The old slave quarters, unrepaired, are still the colored people’s homes. Among all iheir houses in the rural districts, I have not seen one pane of glass; not one set of crockery, earthen or iron-ware, beyond a rude and often broken pot, with iron or tin-spoons, that certainly were never made lighter by scouring; scarcely any chairs or tables but of homo manufacture; and not one decent bed in any cabin—not one! Some of tho women were rather tidily dressed, as I have seen them; nnd on Sundays, I am told, they appear qnite well. But many of the men might defy all the scare-crows of a thousand corn-fields. Some of the infante I have seen were entirely naked, and boys of at least a dozen years old wore but a single garment; and that only a scanty apology in length, breadthor thick ness. And at least fonr kinds of vermin, smaller than rate and mice, infest many a human bed, its coarse covering, or its occupants, or all to gether.
