Radical hate has not yet been fully Bated, and a disarmed and defenceless people must coutinue to suffer. 7' < Diabolkai, Aor — As the night train «Ht the South Western Railroad was go ing down on Wednesday of last week, about twenty miles from Macon it en countered a cross tie which had been placed upon the track by some demon in human form—The piece of timber was taken up by the cow catcher, and so fastened in the machinery of the loco motive, that it became necessary to use jack Honows before it could be extrica ted. About a year since, near Fort Valley, a similar effort was made to destroy human life by the wholesale. Wh only wish tho miscreant could bi ff -ttHjtiHl in the act, and turned over to tender mercies of the passengers. Anew “Klu Klux outrage’’ would be the result. The Gate City Radical Morality.— The New E r a ca'semated and securely entienched at Atlanta,with plenty of radi cal provisions and pickings in store, and begirt by a cordon of Ter. ys bayonets, keeps up a straggling fire npon the dem ocratic press of the State: Forgetful of’the demijohn experience of his affoetiimate brother and eo labor er us the Intelligeneer, he makes the random charge of whiskey proclivities against Uemocratio editors generally, and even prates about “morahti/ ’ Mor niiijf in the atmosphere of Atlanto (!) that Cosmopolitan City, where the crime, bluek-gtiardism, and pick pock utt* of the whole country are concent ra ted —the only spot in Georgia where tlMJtupas of radicalism can flourish— the debatoable ground where the needle of principle ceases to obey the load stone, and politicians representing tn-mes as wide asunder as the poles, bob nob and drink with each other, and log roll, aDd make bargain and sale of their votes and opinions. Morality, where stealing is reduced to a science and men are advanced to po sitions in the government, according to their degrees in rascality. Morality , where one radical official • s<'eks to slay his guilty paramour of an other race and coioj, and another ar jrigiis for high misdemeanors and crimes, the very executive of the State. Morality, where at noonday prostitution bolds high carnival,in her beer gardens grid dance houses, in approved Chicago #nd New York style.

Satan himself on occasion may assume the garb of an angel of light, and so piny h radical organ, a Bullock organ, preach about morality and tilings they wot not of. V , Siiouli Planters Continue to Hold Their Cotton. r Many times evesy dnyds this question propounded torthe writer, by scores of anxfone'farmers, who are deeply intcr -eeteiliin its solution. An editor is expected to be au fait on all subjects of a political or financial chantcter, but the cotton enigma is one which has baffled every intellect, and set at naught the judgment and sagaci ty of the wisest and most experienced operators “on change:” The merest t>yo isijus- as liable to bejcoireet in his vaticinations, as the veteran speculator df a half century. In short, the move ments of “ the staple,” are as coy and uncertain as the heart of the coquette, whose sole aim is to deceive. Without claiming a particle of weight for our opinion, many arguments -may still he produced, in favor of a pros pective advance in-prices. Just'here, however, we would em phfrticaßy say that those only have a right to refrain from selling, who have no obligations to mest, based upon thoir cotton crops. If a merchant or other creditor will be forced thereby, to vio late’liis word, or jeopardize his com mercial integrity, no motive of policy will justify the proceeding. It is simply a violation of good faith, under the tot) common plea of expediency. To 4be-cotton holders, who are free from debt, and nutrammeled in their ac tion, We would offer a few reasons to re assure their waning confidence in the future of cotton, and then present the other side of the picture. Ist The decline has been inconsitfo entitle i,n the English markets—the latest advices reporting the demand steady,, and Orleans at Hid, with the sale of 10,000 bags. 2d. The partial failure of the crop in India and the Barbary States-will neu tralize, in a great degr-ee, -the excess in American receipts. •3d. The short supply on hand for Eu ropean looms, notwithstanding few mills have been running on full ‘time. 4th. The heavy sales of the past few weeks, caused first by the rise in cotton, and afterwards from the pauic which resulted from the sudden and rapid de cline. slh. The extraordinary increase in the consumption of the raw material in in all parts of the world, and the vast ma’tiplication of spindles everywhere. In the United States, we learn from the report of the Secretary of the Interior, one half the crop of 1868 was retained at home, for the supply of our own manufactories- 6th. The alarming decrease in tho labor supply, and consequent reduction in the breadth of land devoted to the cultivation of cotton. 7th, Because appearances strongly indicate that the rmg ot Northern spec ulators, are seeking to force the holders of cotton in first hands to realize, in or der that .they may control future prices. We eannot elaborate in the limits of a single aificle, the a"bove and must, therefore, content ourselves with a bare »urvunciation of each, and leave our readers to form their owe con. cl mtio ns- Let us new .consider the opposite view of the .question which n'eo possesses many salient features. These however may be briefly summed tip mi the follow ing three arguments: Ist. The constant decline in gold. 2d. The refusal of Congress to en large the volume of currency. 3d. The increased receipts of cotton, indicating a much larger crop than was expected. Let us briefly examine each of these positions. The fall in gold, unless arrested, it would appear must continue to affect the price of cotton, in the same ratio tha' the value of currency increases.— Still, this postalale, however sound in theory, is met by the paradox that si multaneous with the sudden depreciation in specie, comes an advance\o bacon and provisions. Yet, ceteris parihit, the pro position must hold good, and if gold and bullion continue to tend downward, all ci mmodities must cheapen in value Booner or later, when paid for in an ap preciating currency. The second proposition, that cotton will decline unless the government makes new issues of paper, possesses great strength and plausibility. Every day witnesses a further contraction of the currency, by mutilation and the purchase of bonded securities, and the continued expansion of commerce. As money, therefore, becomes scarcer, so will a little go further in the purchase of cotton and other commodities. As stated in a previous article, it is a great mistake to suppose that we have an inflated currency at the preseDt time. Such is very far from the case, as the aggregate of greenbacks falls much short of the bank notes in circulation prior to the war. This argument will lose its iorce, however, if Congress re considers, and passes the defeated bil] for an increase of the currency. Indeed it is the only hope of relief to the coun try, unless gold could be multiplied in definitely. Lastly, The increase in cotton re ceipts, it is contended, must continue to depress prices. It is now conceded that the present crop will reach 3 000,000 of bales, and speculators assert that the prospective falling off in production, for lack of field labor, will be more than counterbalanced by the liberal use of fertilizers. The latter proposition re mains to be seen. That the argument will be used, however, and the changes rung upon the planter l»y interested buyers, despite the long continued scar, city of the raw material, none can de ny. Experience has demonstrated also, that organized rings of capitalists are too powerful for the ignorant multitude, who have no means of concerted ae~ tion. in conclusion we are constrained to admit, that at least for months to come, the prospect is very gfootrry for any advance in the price of cotton. Holders however, nvust use their own judgment in the premises. We have {presented the arguments pro and eon, aud repeat that all are pro fouHdlyugnorant on the subject. No game rtf chance was ever more uncer tain. Individuals must, therefoise, be guided by their own circumstances and obligations. Let us hope that prompt sales will be made, at least to the extent ot all juslt aud honorable demands. National Repudiation- The Atlanta New Era.is pleased ‘to sneer at our “morality,” because we stated io a late article that the repudia tion of the national war debt, was one of tho methods by which our financial difficulties might be-reraoved. • If our record was known 'to"tbis jour nalistic-vampire, who draws his susten atice and life blood from the public treasury, he would be informed that repudiation per se, we loathe and de spise, even though it takes the shape of a honeyed douceur , under the high sounding phraseology of “relief,” and home-stead exemptions. -But this war debt, which, in its -vil lainous details was a fraud even upon the North itself, is in no sense a Soothe ern obligation. , The confederate deist, of two billions due do oor own people, was wiped out by the conqueror, which in accordance with the fortunes of war was to be -ex pected. But in addition to‘this, with a refinement of hate.and cruelty for which history furnishes no parallel, each -State after it had submitted, was required to annul its own private contracts with her immediate citizens, which was nothing mono-nor lees than wholesale robbery and spoliation, on the part of the Feder al government. Besides this, the-entire personal prop erty of the South in slaves was destroy ed, amounting to a fabulous sum.; a special tax upon cotton imposed and collected ; our people bled and depleted at every pore by all the devices that ingenuity could suggest; enormous levied, even to erect upon our own soil costly mausoleums in honor of the slayers of our sons and brothers, whose boues were refused sepulture) aacl their graves even insulted at ‘the capital by Federal officials:; standing armies quartered upon us in a time of profound peace, and drum head court rnartials established; State govern ments over thrown and foreign merce naries placed over us at the point of the bayonet; a locust cloud of bureau officers,tax gatherers, school marins aud missionaries, fastened like leeches upon our vitals; insults, shame, an I ignominy, heaped upon a defenceless people with out stint; all these are the arguments convincing, conclusive, and all power, ful, which will induce the South when, the opportunity is afforded at tie bal lot box, to sunder the anaconda folds of that monster debt, which is crushing into atoms the body politic. The taxes under which we groan for the benefit of the bonj holders, and the host of Northern army contractors who fattened upon the carnage of the late civil war, are submitted to, for the same reason, that the defenceless traveller delivers his purse at the demand of the highwayman. When an outraged North shall inaugurate reform, with the ballot, our people of every race and color will march in serried ranks to the hustings, and announce their verdict. Thus will a righteous retribution be meted out to those who had no pity in the day es our calamity and weakness. Ye universal suffrage and 15th Amendment men, behold the living stone which your owa hands hare cut from the rock, for your destruction. Already the hand writing is upon the wall. ser in a recent trip to Macon, we were impressed with the dullness which seemed to pervade all branches of busi hess- This may be induced in part by the stagnation existing in the cotton mar ket, but we believe the pditieal condi lion of affairs has much also to do with this state of things. A feeling of distrust and uncertainty) -growing out of the control of the State government by the Radicals, and the reckless legislation which is apprehend ed, seems to clip the wings of enter prise and estop all progress. Even uj - on real estate the effect is apparent, in the marked decline in the price of town property and farms in the country. Our labor relations are greatly die turbed likewise from the same cause.— Planters are backward, and despond ent in view of the future, and loth to clear new fields and make permanent improvements, when it impossible to say they will be able to i’uii their farms another year. Truly we are enjoying the fruits of radical rule, and the lesson should r.ot be lost at tha next general elections.— Cost what it will, this corrupt party must be defeated, and our fair laud re deemed from the worse than Egyptian bondage, under which it now groans. To effect this, alt good men and true patriots must band together, and scorn and scout the Southron who would sell his country for a mess of pottage, and is content to affiliate with Bullock and his minionß, merely for the gratification of personal ends. Os all the poor creatures on’earth, a Georgia Radical, to the manor born, is the moat contemptible.

Manner on Sumner- Ti-onr the Savannah New*,] Oc Saturday last the Hon. W. Mun gen of Ohio, addressed the liouae of Representatives bfi the question of Cti ban belligerency, but before concluding his speech asked and obtained leave to publish his views in foil in the Globe.— The speech accordingly appeared in -the Globe of the 20t.h io»t. In ad vocating the right-of belligerent rights ‘•to the struggling patriots of G«ba,” Mr. Mungen incidentally'“pitched into” Senator Sumi.e; 1 of Massachi setts, and by the severity of bis criticism .has evok ed- a resolution of ceusure. To gratify the curiosity of the public we copy from the pub ifehed report of the Globe those parts of Mr. Mimgen’s “speech” which have produced the Congressional seasa tion : “Mr. Mungo n in the outs«t of his pbilipic against Mr. Sumner, charges him with ‘‘manufacturing a story as an excuse or apology for his infamous course against the Cubans ’’ Further on, aiter recurring to the history of the Hung trial) struggle with Austria, he as sents that the Senator was the untiring eujog st and apologist of Russian policy and the insidion-ly industrious opponent of the Hungarian cause. * '* It is natural that-the apolgist of Russian and Austian despotism -should be the defen der of Spanish cruelty and tyranny!”— Next comes the main count in the in dictment, which we copy entire•• When we find persons destitute of physical and moral manhood, wbat can we expect of them.? Some of the worst tyrants in history, despots, deadeis of factions, and religious zealots remorse lessly crushed ?p,d bloodily_persecuted their opponents, who, wtali^PfJportunity offered, often retaliated in "dud. Yet, in the midst ot their excesses, deeels of dar ing and gleams of magnanimity and mercy threw occasional light on the sombre and sanguinary picture Some unknown baud, it is recorded, even strewed fl wers npon Nero's grave. — But the rule of unsexed men in the de clining periods of the Roman and By zantine empires, through effete Princes, led 4o a more profound demoralization than was ever before known “The in fluence of these beings,*’ says a French writer, “was more fatal than that of the most fanatical or ascetic monks.” To the latter, indeed, were by their vows ■denied ttic joys of matrimony and the feelings of paternity. Yet the instinct ive aspiration was in their breasts, and precluded from lavishing itself on the in dividual family it sometimes touchingly expanded so as to comprise in its be nevolence the wide family of the human kind, aud to produce a Las Lasas or a Fenelon. In their worst phase of char acter-the misguided aud atrocious zeal which led them to doom others to the stake induced these persecutors when persecuted in turn fearlessly folate it. — The eunuch not only had 110 experience of those feelings, but he even had no conception. A sad moostrosity of man's creatior, he could not rise to the level of human sympathies. He was'inspired only by tbe most groveling passions and envious of all virility, physical and moral, worked out his insidious policy by intrigue and craft. Not his the eve' direct, plain road, hut the toi ti.r ms, sli my path, the devious ways of deceit and pefijy. Not bh the tiger-like spring of brute lone, the violence of .massacres and osten ati >us executions. Frigidly vindictive he crawled perseveringly hut surely to his end, the life-long g-ratifie.i --tion of envy and niisanthopre spite.— His wai tbe ingeijtjus calumny, the private denunciation, the poisoned cup, the se. ret strangulation, the noiseless immurement in the dungeon’s depths and the frightful torturings which so laced Ins malignity -and*'Bfs>rg.iving spirit. His policy, more cruel snd more fatal than that of the in flicted bleeding gashes, sometimes to be cicatrized, upon a generation, emascula ted nations after his own image, leaving them and their posterity hopelessly de graded and to become the prey of the barbarian Worse still, during centu ries ar.d down to our own time, this spirit and this unsexed policy has found imitators. It was a policy congenial to all cowardly despotisms. There is not only one instance in his tory, sacred or profane, wln-te an un sexod person was a Christian ; that is the fellow wno went down in the water with Philip. Again, ti e malignity of these unsexed creatures Is historic. * * During the late war the people had tyrants both in the North and South. If it should be our misfortune i ver to have tyrants again let them be manly tyrants oi brute force, not those who took their inspirations from the eunuchs of be Byzantme empire, which Russia, of whose policy the Senator is the chief eulogist, represents, and which policy combines ti e briU-e tyranny of England over.

Ttiat sturdy defender, of the truth, the veteran editor of the Bainbritfge- Argus, thus ventiSites the pretention! of the radical member elect,, to the IT. S. - Senate, Maj. R. H. Whiteley: - / We are surprised ter leorti that any one ran rugard this gentleman as in the least conservative in bis political -senti ments, or possessed of talents 'rating him for a ueat in the TJ. S. Senate! Since his abandonment of the Demo cratic party in 4866, he has, cn all occa-. s ,ms, stud everywhere proven that he is as alira a Radical, and as subservient a tool of Sumner and B. F. Butlet, as can be found either South or North. We consider him as a fanatic of the first wa ter, regarding the political and social equality of tho negro as decreed by Providence, through the agency of the Republican party, and that to disap prove df Radicalism is to array one's self against the .plainly .indicated pur pose of the Deity. As to Maj. Whiteley’B fitness for the place, he would fill, jis a Senator from the once great cominonweatth-of Geor gia, it is simply ridiculous and absurd. Still he is a man of-talenb; and the fact of his humble origin, and the few oppor tunity offered by an apprenticeship in a cotton factory, (where he learnt his trade;) for the acquisition of a known edg of lieoks, proves, conclusively, that lie could not occupy the .position of a third rate lawyer, which .he now un doubtedly does, did he not possess t;- ients. But even if he were u Daniel Webster in native ability, his intxper ence as a law-makes, or attorney at law, proves fiis unfitness for a branch of the U.

Muj Whiteley was a member es the Ret Obstruction Coavention, which fram ed tho present constitution of Georgia, which is the only position he ever -held, except that <Jf Solicitor General. He is about 3b years of age: was admitted to the bar a Jew years before the late war. Adventures of a Bale of Cotton We have had related to us the “adven tures'’ of a stolen bale of cotton which are not only interesting but which should serve as a warning to all against tho purchase of this staple from irresponsi ble hands. ©nee or twice have losses been sustained in this way by .purties in this city. Abodt the Ist of December last Clarke & Chisel!, Lombard street, sold a bale of cotton which had been consigned to them from the vicinity of Rocky Mount, N. C., to Messrs Both & Sons, which was sold by the lutter to Messrs. Row lett, Tannor & Cos. The cotton was or dinary, and the, price paid by Messrs. Rowlett, Tannor &. C->. was 21 cents.— In due course of time the bale was oent to New York and thence shipped to Liverpool. A few days after the ship ment Messrs. Rowlett, Tannor -tfe Cos. were notified that this bale of cotton was the .property of Mn Battle, near Rocky Mount, N. C., from whom it had recently been stolen It had been pur chased there by one Hammett, ac.olored man,, who was acting in the capacity of agent for the firm of Clarke & Chiscll, and had-been sent by him to them. At the expense of some eighteen dol lars, Messrs. Rowlett, Tannor & Cos. tele graphed by cable t« Liverpool for t'e return of the bale in question. The tele gram was received in good time, and the cotton was shipped back to New York and thence to Petersburg. It was fully identified as Mr. Batfle’s .property, and has been-delivered to‘him at Rocky .Mount, whence in tho £r»t instance it was stolen and started *>n its long jour ney. The cost of the cotton, together with the expense attending its shipment to Europe and its recovery, is about one hundred and sixty-six dollars, The negro who stole it and sold it to the agent is under arrest in North Caro lina, and awaiting trial. .Messrs. Row. lelt & Cos and Messrs. Booth & Sons lose nothing, Clarke & Chisel! having made Fail pecuniary reparation. The last named firm must look to their agent for the amount involved, and the agent to the thief now in custody.— Petersburg {Vaj Index. Decrease of thf. Negroes In Ken tucky.--It appears from a recent report of the State Auditor, that the blacks es Kentucky, who in 1860 numbered 236, 107 are now reduced to 140,455 —a loss of two-fifths in nine years. At this rate the negro element will disappear from Kentucky within the next fifteen years. But this rata of loss will not be kept up. Unquestionably throughout the South there has been greater mortality since the beginning of the war among the blacks than there was before the war.— r l his increased mortality has resulted from emancipation, which, is casting the blacks (who were slaves, cared fur by their masters)upon their own resources, cast them forth to idleness, hunger, ex posure, disease and death. Under their white masters these Southern blacks from the new-born pickaninny to the poorest field hand, represented each so much money, and it was the master’s in terest to take care of his capital. Some thing line order, however, is superseding the fatal confusion which emancipation brought upon the poor blacks concern ed, and they are learning to take care of themselves, and hence the mortality among them is diminishing.— JY.

But the decline in gold has been brought about not through, but in spite Os the Radicals. It is almost en tirely owing to the $300,000,000 South ern cotton crop, which serves as a basis of foreign exchange. If it were dot for the cotton crop, there would be no coin balances in the New York banks or in the Federal Treasury. It would all be at the other side of the Atlantic.—AT. F Democrxt.
