How “Briok Pomeroy” Talks to his Northern Press Opponents. “Stooping oveb Carrion !”—The whining God ancbmorality wretch who would not let his dying wife have milk to drink on account of its' expense, now editing a ham-fat organ in Belie villo, Illinois, accuses us of “stooping tiver carrion .” That is good—wc take it in at once, we don’t like the busi ness, but a. mau who dissects the radi • cal party, who speaks truth of the rump faction nowin poiver—who plugs the nigger heads in the jaw of radical, ism as we do, must stoop over carrion Wretch, we thank thee for thy sug gestion. That is Just what we arc doing, and now that our hand is in, we intend to stoop over it, to hold it up by the fork full, and by the spoon ful, that the people and posterity toay ■ know whAt a robbing, swindling,, ty rannical, Union hating, bond holding, •la# breaking, Constitution destroying, bigoted, blundering, plundering, whi. ■ning, canting, licentious, drunken, de praved, Ungodly, immoral, fanatical, office hunting, tax levying, nigger-ex citing set of thieves, upstarts, rump' •ites,.Human gorillas and ignoramuses, 'have banded together under the lead of radicalism and llump legislation The radical party is in.teed carrion of the most putrid sort, and we shall hold it up as long as we can, till tile breeze of right and reason, bl iwiyg fresh and clear from an outraged and insulted people, shall sweep the car. tion and its odor= into the perdition it deserves. v Editing a democratic newspaper, which is devoted as this is, to dissect ■ing the radical party is indeed stoop ing over carrion. Wc don’t like it but thank God, we can perform a du ty, even if disagreeable to us and not liked by the filthy politiauj and edito rial worms we stick our pen into and drag out from their nasty feasting pla ces. And we stoop to conquer —and where we find a sleek worm witn his head in the carcass, it is fun to prick him a little to see if he be alive, then drag it out by the tail so -pc.ople can sec what sort of a worm it be. And as wc dragged out the Belle villian a few days since, so do wc now drag out one wo pricked a few days since,.now editing a nigger nose rag in Delphi, New York—who was too big a coward.t6 go to w;.r, was drafted and was exempted for having the same disease which troubled Moxa Morton, tho govern*r of Indiana, a burning and therefore shining horn on the God.and-morality party’s altar. ANOTHER WORM, is Hon. Geo. G. Fogg, a pap sticking, editor of the Concord (N. ID) Inde pendent Democrat, a slihiy toadstool on the rump of the Rump Congress Fogg don’t like us. Poo ! that's noth: ing. lie is and very thick wc cau sec through lnm, and there is not a whole-souled, liberal, high-minded idea in his carcass. He would sell his birthright for half a mess of pot tage and perjure himself to obtain the pay. He is the chief owner of that whining bondholder’s ‘organ, and is devoid of soul as lie is of attributes to win love, being cold, selfish, filthy and deceitful. He was if we mistake not, Lincoln’s minister to Switzerland where wc heard of his peculiarities and experiments in free loveism, tyid was appointed by Gov. Smyth, of New Hampshire, U. S. Senator to fill the vacancy caused by .the resignation of Daniel Clark, who was appointed U- S. District Judge by President John, son. Fogg is a sour, morose old bachelor who has been jilted by no less than fifteen girls, llis ancestors wero often charged with stealing sheep, and nevw could prove innocence, lie is simply a tool for smarter men; a political Lack used by other men for political purposes. His paper lives, not on its merits as a newspaper, but on govern ment pap doled out to its eleiuoKy nary editor, who is assisted in the government teat-pulling .by one Amos Hadley, a very small worm who tick les the Fogg for niue dollars a week and stealings. This brace of worms live on pap, and to-day .have in their possession goods stolen from the South, and. which they know aro stolen. The pa per is the organ of the ranters, the Puritans, the bond holders, the cliurch members and hypocrites of Concord, and’ is at best rotten in honor, princi ple, virtue and patriotism—-a most fit organ for the carrion part}', wich lives by overtaxing poor men to support Hump protected rich ones.

C- BEY AN, : : Editor. ~ »' - r. - -rr THOMASVILLE, GA.: FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1867. SUIT FOR DAMAGES. We understand that an officer ar rived in Thomasville a day or two ago, from Gen. Pope, charged with the in. vestigatiqu and institution of a suit for $50,000 damages, against the cor porate authorities of Thomasville, at the instance .of one Dr. 0. J. Jenkins, who, some time in'the'year 1865, was arrested and confined in prison Upon conviction in fourteen indictments, if we remember well, for violating the laws forbidding the gale of spirituous liquors to persons of color, &e. Jerf kins was then a merchant in the dry goods business, having moved here from the neighborhood of tho Suwan nee Springs, in Florida, and did buai \ ness under the name and stylo of | Thomas k Jcnkiiis, though we believe I tho reputed partner, Dr. Thomas, a I very worthy gentleman, afterward filed an affidavit, stating that Jenkins had |no interest in the firm. Jenkins, how j ever, had every thing in his own hands, ds Dr. Thomas remained at his home ; in Florida, and as there was stniioiicd in Thotpasv lie about that time a regi ment of colored troops, Jenkins, it was thought, conceived tlio brilliant moral idea of .pocketing all their change when they Were paid off, which was daily expected. He believed, there was a fortune in the colored trade of Thomasville, and itwas an easy matter to draw it out of the herd of ignorant, credulous creatures. Uo therefore turned liis attention to that interesting people became their peculiar friend sold them liquor contrary to law and the ordeis of Lt. Col. Bogert, then in command, who also placed a detective on his trail, had him arrested and car ried before Council for trial, where he was convicted as above stated, and fined §SO and costs in each ease. Jen kins refused to pay the fines and went to jail; but, upon reflection, forked over and cflnic out. He afterward in stituted suit for the‘recovery of the money, arid we believe, gained the suit before the Supreme Court, but wo never ascertained upon what ground. Ife then left Tkamasville, and wc hoard no more of him until he reccnt% eon eluckd to fix his rcsidi nee in Louis ville, Kentucky, for tho practice of physic. Oil his way thither, we sup pose, he conceived that other brilliant idea of making tho fortune 1m failed to got out of the nogroes, out of tin corporation of Thomasville. lie there fore represents to Qen. Dope that he hail bean persecuted in Thomasville, because of his friendly feelings toward the colored people, and because he sold liquor to a colored citizen. And as suming that ho had a good chacaetor when he came here and loft it before lie /<•/?,'lays his damages at §SO 000. Can’t pay it, Doctor ; Can’t pay it—■ amount entirely too largo-v-thc citizens ol' Thomasville, to whom you sold two or three large stocks of dry goods, are ■ not so well off now as then , beside they ucver placed half so l|igh a value on your -character. Your redress, if you hayc any, is in Col. Bogert— he ordered your arrest and trial, and said sonio very hard • things about you at the time—but wo will wait for further dc- vclopmcnts. Since writing the above we have seen the. oflioer dispatched by (jeu’l I’ope to investigate tho case, and wo take pleasure in announcing that Jen kins’ law suit lias fizzled out. Ifo wilj fall as far sboit of making bis fortune out of the corporation of Thoinasville, as ho did of making it out of the “co lored citizens,’’ by making thorn drunk on Dican whiskey. The officer learned that Jenkins had no interest i* tho firm of Jenkins & ThCmas, except that of clerk, and therefore, it was impos sible for him to have been damaged in the dry goods business, to tho amount of Soli,OUt) as ho falsely alleged in his petition to Gen. Pope, or in any other amount. Since he has shown a disposition to do tho citizens of Thouiasvillo tho greatest injury in his power, it would be well for thorn to hold n meeting, and give publio expression to their sentiments in rolereneo to him. It would be information for Gen. Pope and all other persous who may hear Jenkins’ story of “persecution,” on ac-‘ count of his affection for the “ colored people.’’ RAILROAD TRIUMPHANT. The election on Wednesday last re sulted in an overwhelming majority in favor of taxing tho town to liuild tho South Georgia & Florida Railroad. The vote stood 82 to 3; showing that our people wero almost unanimous, even on the subject of taxation —a thing almost unparalleled in the his tory of taxes. If the County will now do its duty with the same promptness and resolution, the work will gfi fori ward with dispatch. $75,000 has al ready been secured for tho commonce mejft, and all this in Thontnsi'ilk. Let the country now ooiuo to our aid in the gool work. Vi’e hope the Inferior Court will im mediately appoint the-day of election for the County, and let the question be tested at once. Some say it will be defeated—that Thomas County will not be tyxed to build this toad, but we think they are mistnkon. If any are Opposed to the tux let them como up find show their willingness to sub scribe the stock. _ The election having resulted favor ably to the Railroad, our proposition is now in order,- to ascertain whether tlic amuont proposed to be issuedln bonds cf the corporation, will not be subscribed in individual shares. In doing this, we.propose to call in person or by proxy, on each individual pro perty holder in the corporation, to as tain what amount each will be willing, to subscribe in lien ol' the tax , All must remember that they will now lie taxed to build the road beyond the possibility of a doubt —-and" the ques. tion now is, how much will you bind yourselves to pay to yet rid of the tax, entirely and forever ? The amount specified by each will be noted down, and if the aggregate approximates the proposed amount of the bonds, a meet, ing will be called for all to meet and subscribe the stoqk. Be ready for the question therefore, for there is now no time for argument —the argument was ended by the election —right or wrong, the fiat has’gone forth. BOARD OF REGISTRATION. Ml - . O. T. Lyon, Post Master at Bos ton, and Giles .Price, (colored,) has been appointed from Thomas County, and A. V. O'ark from Brooks, as a Board of Registration for the Sovonth Distrjpt, composing -the Counties of Thomas, Brooks and Colquitt. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lyoh on the street a few days ago, when he informed us that lie had qualified, and would proceed forthwith tp arrange matters for registering the voters in in tho District. Mr. Lyon is from the State of Maryland, though he lias for more than a year resided in Thomas County, near Boston, where he is now carrying on a farm. Ho was, of course, an original Union man, or ho would not have received the appoint ment; but his sentiments and beha vior during his residence among us have been kind and conciliate!y, so far as we are informed, and therefore, qn • exceptionable. We know nothing of Mr. Clark, except that he is also u Union man Hour another State, but we have reason to believe he oompies a similar'position to that of Mr. Lyot}. Giles Price is a well known freed man and blacksmith, of considerable intelligence, and a leader among tho colored people of Thomasville. He was recommended to Gen. Pope by a distinguished Southern citizen and re ceived the appointment. Some of his colored brelhron object to his appoint ment, on the ground, that l’rieo vol untarily n'uloil in the rebellion hv con tributing money, Ac., anu that they will not register under him We do not know how they will make it; but we think Giles Price a very good selection among the colored people, and will doubtless do as well as any. BLACKSIIEAR CONVENTION- Pursuant to notice given by a meet ing of citizens of Pierce county, the Convention assembled at lilackshear, on Tuesday, tho 4th inst, and btgam irfed by oWoting -Col. C. 11. liupkins Chairman, and C. O 'pamotte, Secre tary. Only sic counties of the twenty odd in tho First Congressional District wero reported as represented, Thomas being one, and as-there was no-primary meeting in Thomas to semi delegates, we do not consider that she was repre sented. The proceedings say that the “loyal” sentiments of these six coun ties assembled in the Blackshcnr Con vention, and we are to infer that there is a disloyal sentiment, which win not represented there. They pass cd reconstruct ion resolutions, which wc will publish in our Tuesday’s issue, and seleoUid the Savannah Republican and Quitman Banner, for their organs —;i strange association , if wc are to judge by the past history of tho two journals. Tho editor of the Banner was present, and invited to a seat in the Convention, in return for which flat tering compliment, lie is represented as having delivered a very able • Sher mnn* Bill” speech, as that is all he could mean by “holding the laws of Congress in his convention represented rile only “loy alty” in tho First District, there is cer tainly precious little, of the virtu* among us, and wo tear thrro is but little hope of consummating that grand objoot sought by tho Blaokshoar Con vention, of reoonstruoting the Union, However, it will not do to despair or doubt now, that, the Blackshear Com vent ion has been held, and established befi _ro all \ ankecdom tho fact of their loyalty to the Union. Thatsettlos tlie question and reconstruction is certain —let us trust in future to their wisdom and loyalty. DEATH OF CHIEF JUSTICE LUMPKIN.

We know their solicitude on this sub ject, and \fc desire to hear at an early day, that they are acting with a spirit cwiituchgura e with the great interest -they have at stake. Mitchell and Baker’ Counties know very well that tliis enterprise, is their only hope, for the benefits of a railroad, and that if it fail* they will be forever debarred those great blessings.

Katlical l y rospects in Georgia. —A correspondent of the Press, Philadel phia, (Rad ) who has recently traveled through this Htnto, give* some intori csting account* of the prospects of tak ing Georgia into the Radical camp. There are believed to bo in Georgia about 75,000 negro voters, who will vote for Radical ujen ami measures. There are 25,000 whites enrolled in or under tho control of tho Union League. It is lutthcr deemed certain that the men who sustain tho efforts of Gover nor Grown in favor of reconstruction,* must finally voto for tho Radical nomi nees. It is therefore esteemed quite certain, that Georgia will come back under a Republican administration.— Governor Grown, it is understood, would like his disability removed, and a seat in the United Stales Senate That won’t come round just yet. • Mr. Markham, of Atlanta, is talked of for Governor, and Joshua Hill is named for the Senate. Gen. Pope's administration is spo fbn of in the highest tenuis. It is thoroughly Radical, while so sagaci ously managed as to give satisfaction to thoso who accept the inevitable, like Gdvernor Grown. He is about to issue his orders iu relation to registrai (ion. ‘A colored tnsn will be on each board, and especial instructions are issued about explaining to new voters their rights, and what the vote, for or against a convention, signifies. On tnc whole. Georgia promises well The South Georgia and Florida Railroad. We published, in our issue of yes terday, the proceedings of a meeting of the citizens of Thomasville in re gard to the above important underta king, with the excellent comments of the Enterprise thereon. The pnblio spirited citizens of that flourishing town nobly pledged themselves to meet cheerfully such taxes as may be nec> essary to pay the interest, whenever palled upon, on bonds to he issued by the corporate authorities in aid of the project. The county of Thomas will do likewise, which, with the interest tnanifeated, by Mitchell and Baker counties on the line from Thomasville to Albany, give ample assurance of the practicability and success of this promising scheme of improvement. — Tho rapid and firm hold it has taken upon the minds of the communities immediately interested, jvc are inform ed, is almost wiihout parallel in the histpry of internal improvements. We are assured, too; that Macon, Atlanta, and even Nashville and Cincinnati, have realized its value and importance to their prosperity Wc can assure our Thomasville friends that our peo," pie will recognizp its advantages if not ; its absolute nc-ooiwity to the commerce •of our.city.* The investigation of its j merits cannot fail to establish the po. loncy of its claims as a railroad con ! ncction between Florida, Southern ! Georgia and the great provision inar -1 kets of-the West, and for this reason will impress itself upon the pubi c : mind as one of the most important 1 projects of the times. The projected j road will be located in a most dcsirq j bio region, and afford facilities Os frav ; cl and the transportation of farm pvo i ditca ami other freight to the residents of a populous and wealthy section of 1 country While the enterprise of the great metropolis of Georgia seeks to | increase its wealth by openihg new avenues of communication with the j rural distric's, the residents, of the ! latter very'naturally conclude that the ; increasing facilities of communication with the city oP Savannah.is the most | certain and expeditious method of cn- I haneing the value ol their own propT | erty as well as realizing the market prices for the produce of their farms. These and other equally striking eon j Mcratiuns will invito the calmest co- I operation of our city in the effort to i accomplish the great work in hand. We hope to see the day When Geor- I gia will be one beautiful network of j railroads—her undeveloped weak h dc i uiands it, and it will be accomplished j in due Time by the energy and cntcr ! prise of her people.—«S <o.

H*9J. * Truth in a NutshelW The States & Union published in Portsmouth, N. 11. gives the following' as the reasons, why Mr. Greely signed the bond for Mr. Davis’ relewe. He mayor may not do Greely.injustice, but he told a home thrusting truth when he reviews the action -of the Northern States in their nullification laws, in the passing of personal liberty bills in 1850, and refusing their jails to confine escaped slaves. The States is right, and a damning record has the North for the last thirty years, and in the trial of Mr. Davis, the past “loyal” States would be brought in full re view. We at the South fear not an impartial trial; an honest judge, and an honorabl; jury would acquit Mr. D. without five minutes consultation. But to the views of the States, it saya i . . “Avery eccentric fellow is this Greely. What caused him.to take this course is no mystery to us. He knew if Mr. Davis was brought tp trial, it would really have been the radical leaders on trial instead of Davis. They dare not compare records in a Court ol Justice. Ife knew they were stained all over with treason, extending back through a long series of years.-' They dreaded the Icgul proof. These nfen in ten Northern States openly nullified the Constitution, before tlie South at tempted secession. That black record would have come up before them. It would have stared them down, conviet | ed and condemned them all in the eyes ‘of the civilized world. Greely Himself had.openly sdvised j nullification and secession and defond l.ed both in the columns of his paper. Chief Justice Cliaso was a nullifier .hiinsbll', and thus stands .his record in the State-ol Ohio. Abraham Lincoln w s a secossionists and made a seces sion speech in Congress in 1848 Abolition Republican Legislatures and Conventions all over the North put tl.e-r nullification add treason into rc , solved and upon the statute books, and there they stand to day. What a damning record to faoe them before a j tribunal of law. They dared not face tho music. There "were tremblings and misgivings all round. Horace Greely rather go bail than r : sk himself and his party in such an ordeal, and ,so lie did the tfost act of all his life at Rich j mond.’’. An Item which every Mason should Read —We have probably, all of us, met with instances in which a word heedlessly spoken against the reputa tion of a female lias been magnified by malicious minds v until the cloud lias been dark enough to.overshadow her whole' existence. To those who are. accustomed, not necessarily from bad motives, but lroui thoughtlessness, and especially to members of the Masonic Fraternity, to speak lightly of ladies, we reebipHleud these ‘hints’'’ as wor thy of consideration : “Never use a lady’s name in an iui liroiior iilace. at an•impropeiMtiio, or in mixed company. Never umko as. sertions about her that you think un true,' or allusir ns that you leel she her self wou'd,blush to hear. When you meet with men who do not scruple t make use of woman's name in a reck less anu unprineipled manner, shun them, for they are the very worst mem bers of the community—men lost to every sense of honor, every feeling of humanity. Many a good and worthy woman’s character has been forever ruined and heart-broken by a lie manufactured by some villain, and repeated where it should not have been, and in the pre sence of those whose little judgment .could not detor them from circulating tho foul and bragging report. A slan der is soon propagated, and the small est thing derogatory to a woman’s character will fly on the wing* of the wind, and magnify as it circulates, un til its monstrous weight crushes the poor unconscious yictim. Respect the name of woman, for your mother and sisters are women; and as you would have their fair names untarnished, all their lives unembittered by the slan derer’s tougue, Iw-ed thp ill thnt your own words may bring upon the moth er, the sister, or the wife ofr some fel low creature.” Too Mucii for Him —A young man who actually desired wealth was visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempted him to dispose of his soul for eternity, if he could be supplied on earth with all (lie money ho eoald use. The bargain was concluded ; the devil was to supply the money, and was at last to hav6 the soul, unless tho young man could spend more money than the devil could furnish.

There are indications, says the Rich mond Times, of an o-ninuiw character that, with each step of ihe South to* wards reconstruction, and that, too, in the very terms prescribei .by the military act, there is a retreat to the same extent of the Radical party from its solemn pledges that the law in question is “a finality.” The suspicion is gaining ground, and is adding much to the general gloom and ■depression at the South, that, when wp have drained the cup of humiliation to the very dregs, we. shall find our restora* ti*n to the Union indefinitely postpon • ed upon a thousand of those pretexts of*wbich dishonest demagogues arc most prolific. Every day there arc hints, - insinuations*, and sometimes open threats, that inueh more is to be demanded of us than the military bill exacts. It begins-to look as if wc shall find another “peek of dirt” ready for as, as soon as we have been t‘re fresheef’’ by that which we ate now devouring. Mr. Thad. Stevens insists upon H “littlehanging and mild confiscation Mr. Chas. Sumner upon “compulsory education of (he blacks ;’V and Mr.- Phillips upon “fdrty.acres’’ of land to every freedtiwn. But suddenly, and in a much more authoritative manner, *‘the Radical Congressional Commit-* tee’’ raises its voice and demands thad “Congress must be satisfied by decisive and fri»U»ortby majorities of the loy alty of tlie South” before that body will consent to otrr rehumission*. Wd are also advised “that there is land enough.at the South for ail, and «& who desire should be permitted to ob* tain lands.'’ Such outcroppings as these of ihe infamous bad faith of the Radical party, and of their ma-m-fes# determination to make us the sport of political und systematic deception ard maltreatment, are well calculated to dishearten our people, and -to teach them that nothing is to be gained by acquiescence in the most cruel legis* lation. Tho New Southern Textile. The New -Orleans Picayune gives additional particulars of the new tex tile plant that is to supercede the cot* ton plant. It is caked the Ramie.— Rooks set out on tlie 23J of March have sent up vigorous shot ts, which are now five inches high. It shows strong tendency to spread, and imita ting in this respect the low-growinif wild rose, called the “ Bridal Rose,” having a 1 :af quite like it when small, and of like color a bright light green. These roots were nearly a month in sprouting. The ground was a tena cious clay, so that a suiidy soil L» by no means essential to ids growth.— Roots planted in oilier placessomewhat lateT are also coming up. There will evidently be no difficulty in rasing it. The specimens ts fabrics made from the ramie have been received in Cuba, both those of ramie alone, and those of wool and ramie united, and the Diario; of Havana says, “ they have nothing more to be desired.”— They have also received in Havana seeds of tlie plant, which have been furnished.by the Society of Aeolaina* tion of Paris. Whether these seed will germinate as readily as tlie plant grows from roots remains to be seen. A further supply is expected from Vera Cruz as soon us the siege of that city i* sufficiently at an end to enable them to be obtained. The pßce of the root is $1 each, or one hundred for ninety dollars. * .
