We have seen in the last few days a letter addressed by that most delectable and preseious scamp of ignorance, impn** dence and general incompetence for any thing upright—Joseph R. M. Johnson^(col ored,) alia* R. M. Smith alias something else, we reckon—who has been foiste.l by hie worthy (?) chief upon the good and unoffending citiEenn of Valdosta, Georgia, as Deputy Poet Master. This letter was addressed by this fellow to three of our leading colored citizens, asking them to refute certain charges of venality, fraud, rascality and crime, charged as having been committed by him in our city and in Florida, made in the endeavor to prevent hit instalatioiMuto the responsible position of handling the United States mails of the Valdosta people. For their benefit, we condescend to dirty our columns by giving this Johnson, alias Smith, a character suited to his villainous career. The first we ever knew of him, he was employed by the colored people in Bain bridge'to teach their children, in which position he managed to excite a division ol confidence in liis integrity by too intimate association with some of his female schol ars, and bv a relussl to be turned off when they desired to rid themselves of his services. Next for about two days, services in holding a« election for the colored member of tin; ’board of Registration for this Senatorial District, at Colquitt, Miller coun ty, he managed by a shrewd manipulation of the pay roll, to secure to himself the pay of the entire Registration of voters in Mil ler county at eight dollars per day. Pretty soon after this he got himself into jail and it: making his escape therefrom, struck ihe aged jailor of this county a blow which many think primarily caused his death. At about the time lie broke jail we heard he was a fugitive from Florida justice for the crime of burg ary. Now we hear of him as Deputy Post Master lor Valdosta, and if he is not speedily turned of place we shall conclude that a long career of crime only wil fit men for. petty Federal offices. We write the at ove at the instance of the colored men to whom he addressed his letter asking for a character. 1 ditoiinl Correspondence. New Yoke, August 12 1 li, 1869. Dear Sun : — The business) season is open ing vigorously. Merchants, front Texas, Arkansas. Tennessee, Mississippi, Florida, and Georgia, are arriving every day. The drummers have returned home, and infest the hotels ready to pounce down up on every new arrival who deals in mer chandise. Among them are a large nume her of Southern gentlemen, who are decid edly courteous, pleasant fellows, and are as ready to do a stranger a favor, as to sell him their goods, Gen. Grant is in the city toeday? attracts no attention however. Ev ery one seems disgusted with the weak tool of Bontwell, and “there are none so poor, except hotel-keepers and office seekers to do him ravereDce.” Goaded on by tin- spur of Radical Bout well, the creature lias final ly declared himself in favor of the extreme Radicals of Mississippi, Texas and Virgi nia. Every lover of his country, rejoices here at the overthrow of Radicalism in Tennessee. All favor the election of An drew Johnson to the United Slates Senate. Truly it is a consummation de'vouily to be wished for. But I apprehend the Radical Senators are praying, if eve- they do such a thing, that such an event may not c<>me !<• pass. Andrew would be a perfect thunder bolt among them and would forever crush their vile bodies beneath the weight of liis crushing sarcasms and withering excoria tions. He is just, the rnan, “to tip their rotten, hollow hearts, * —and proclaim to the world their immeasurable rascality. Strikes among ihe working classes of this city is the order of the day. The tail. • it's on Monday last, threw d.»wn their shears and needles, and with music and banners, paraded the streets, and wound up with a grand pow wow at the “City Hall Park.** Imitating their example the brick layers are trying their fortunes at it. A car load of delightful Bartlett pears from California reached here to-day and found ready sale. They averaged three quarters of a pound each; and were the most luscious looking fruit we have seen for many years. This is but the commence ment of an immense trade in fruits front California, and the prices realized will am* ply pay the shippers the immense out lay in curred, to bring them to this market. Fires are tottn runs and exercise the fitetnen daily. T<> day a liquor store, No. 38, Broadway w;ts destroyed hy the de vouring element. It was checked before it communicated l»> other buildings.

Manufacturer*' Meeting. Bainbridge, Aug.2lst 1869. In pursuance of a call published in the city papers, a large number of citizens assembled and a meeting organized by calling Judge John TANARUS, Faiu to the Chair, and requesting John R. Hayes to act as Secretary. Hon. A. A. Allen addressod the meeting on the subject of manufactmes, citing the almost unexampled prosperity of all South ern Factories, and recommending to the people the judiciousness of investments in manu fact nring enterprises. A committee appointed at a former meeting, consisting of Lion. A. A. Allen, Dr. Elbert Peacock and Mr Adam Ilinds, and who were requested by that meeting to examine the machinery, fixtures, Ac., of ihe Bainbridge Factoiy and to report thereon, submitted the following: REPORT. The committee appointed at your last meeting to examine the Bainbridge Factory, beg leave to report; That they have performed that duty as thoroughly as time and c rcumstauces would allow—your Committee do hot deem it neces ary to enter into a minute detail of every part; but deem it sufficient to state generally the condition of the building and machinery, refer mg to the schedule hereto appended for particulars. The Factoiy building is sound in every particular, so far as we could ascertain, lull imparuiively needs recovering and repaint ing’ There is but one leak, and that is near the sky light and can he easily res died; but as a matter of safety and security to the building, it ought to be recovered. We entered the Pick room and found the duster and lapping machines in a good condition, and capable of good work with the necessary supplies attached. From this room we passed to the Grading; they are sixteen in number, seven of which have been reclothed since the war; the other nine will have to be before use. The railway seems to be in good running order. The draw frames are of the old pateru and ueed some resiting and adjusting; the two speeders appear good. The eight spin ning frames ueed couconttiderable repaii. The shafting and beltiug is good; the belling is somewhat worn. The three reslers, ball machinery, twister and spooler are good. There are twenty-four Looms, which have been operated ; eight which have not; those which have not been used have been robbed to some extent to replace those in use. These looms and fixlureres, need considerable repair—in fact all the machinery will need overhauling and re pairing more or less. The woul depart* uieiit is in a good condition and capable of good service. The Factory engine is a splendid one, and in good running order. The saw mill engine and the fixtures at tached, and building is not in a condition to be run without much repair. To the Factoiy is attached a machine shop ex cellent in quality, and complete in parties ulars. *■' Your Committee is of the opinion, after examination, that it will take the sum of SIO,OOO to put the Factory in complete running order, and in a condition to make the enterprise a success. Your Committee do not doubt that if the Factory and fix! tires can be purchased at a fair value, and the enterpiise is slart-d with sufficient ca; itill, that it. will be a profitable investment, and paying stuck. It is a well ascer ained fact, that the ()o» j.uinbus, Macon, Augusta and Athens Fac«* tones are all adapting their machinery for tVie first class of goods, and this leaves an open field for the class of goods of which this Factory is capable. We think fro n our own examination, and from conversation with intelligent machinist and man u fact u ,- e rs, that it would be difficult and very expensive to apply the modern improvements to this machinery’ and ilia? tin* ti no -policy would be to confine the Factory operation to the class of good to which it is best adapted Respectfu !v submitted, A. HIND-v ) E. PE-YOOGK. >• Com* A. A. ALLEN.) A schedule of property belonging to Factory was no? read owing to length. Hon. A. A. Alien made proposition of Administrators of estate of S. D. Tonge late owner of Factory, which was to ihe effect the Factory paid at a time when we had no raidroad facilities and that it cer tainly could be made to pay now by judi cious management. Several motions were made but finally ii was agreed to appoint Messrs. A. A. Alien, J P. Dickinson, R. R. Terrell and Dr W. H. Hooker a special central committee to open books for anbeeriptiuna, and that SIOO,OOO should be the capital stock of the company, with instructions that when S6O. 000 should be subscribed this committee should I rave authority to call a meeting 0 f stock bidders and organize a company. Maj. B. P. Bruton moved that committee correspond with manufacturers of machi nery &c„ and ascertain the cost of all necessary additions to present factory. On motion the city papers were request;- ed to publish these proceedings. On motion the meeting adjourned. " J. T. FAIN, Chairman. J. R Uatps, SiaiMlary. Iron uii<l Coal liitiii'cilii of Georgia- Col E, 11 nrlbelt us the following circular which we publish with pleasure : Western and Atlantic Railway,! Superintendents Office r Atlanta, Oa., August 14, 1869 ; To the Owners of Iron Interests in Upper Georgia : The undeveloped Iron interests of Geor gia are of great inagn'indt* and demand the energt tic exertions of her Capitalists, Iron Masters and Business Men, in order to de velop mines of wealth as vet untouched. Her Iron fields are among the i idlest on the continent; and if skillfully, energetcally and rapidly developed, cannot fail to make her in a few years, the successful competi tor of older Stales in this commanding in.- terest. Pennsylvania —with her comparatively harten soil, and vvitii the Alleghenies in terposing as a harrier between ber Coal and lion—-has grown enormously ' ich in the deVelopne nt of these great interests. The profits of her Iron manufactures the last year have been fully fifty per cent, upon their investment, Georgia—with her rich fields of ore, with no mountain barrier between litem and tin* Coal deposits in the Northwestern part o the Slate—off. is facilities superior to those of Pennsylvania for the cheap and profita ble production of Iron. Upper Georgia— with her rich valleys, fine climate and cheap lining—offers, to-day, the finest field for in vestments of litis character, to be found in the world. With a view to the encouragement of this great interest, the-Western & Atlantic Railway will do all in its power to build up and sustain furnaces, by extremely low rates of freight on their supplies and man ufactures; prompt transportation; and, gen erally, a liberal policy in all respects. As Superintendent of the Road, I stand ready at all times to aid, by every means at my command, the development of the Coal and Ir«>u*interests of Georgia, and the consequent enrichment of her people.
