TELEGRAPHIC. Western Union Telegraph. Special to the Enterprise. The Radical Mass Conven tion at Richmond. Much Dissension and almost a Bloody Row! Richmond, Aug. I.—This morn ing at an early hour, the neighborhood of the African Church was filled by about 8000 blacks, awaiting the open ing of the doors, and the streets were alive with others coming to the place appointed for the meeting of the Con vention. The Rapublican headquar ters and the hotels looked lively with politicians arranging matters for the day. At 11 o’clock the doors of the Church were opened, and the building was instantly filled; still leaving about 2000 blacks outside. Up to this time very few of the white Republicans, re cently appointed by County Conven tions had" made their appearance. The whites present, about fifty in number, being chiefly delegates who had attended the April Convention, a motion was made inside to adjourn to the Capitol Square, and the crowd out aide mistaking it to be carried, hurried off for that point. Mr. Jno. Hunnicutt made a short •address to those inside in favor of ad journing to the Square. He counsel ed harmony in tne deliberations of the body, for they were this day looked to by the whole country, and by hundreds of thousands of blacks whose fathers had looked prayerfully forward to such a day as this. The rebels of Rich mond and their press, were looking joyfully for a disturbance in the Con vention, and he wanted them disap pointed. As this was a Mass Conven tion and he wanted all Republicans re presented in it, those who could not endorse tbe Republican platform adop ted by the Convention of April might go home, as they were not wanted here. Any man who came here to break up the Republican party in Vir ginia, were scoundrels and hypocrites, and would meet the odium they mer ited. Mayor Tucker of Alexandria, moved the appointment of fifty able bodied men to clear the ground, and keep or der for the Convention at the Capitol Square, which motion being carried the Convention adjourned. Those who first arrived at the Square found a Conservative delegate address ing about one thousand blacks, lie protested against three or four men ruling the Convention, or tho overaw ing of the interior delegations by such an immense crowd from Richmond. The delegations would endorse the April platform, if they could only hear it. [A Voice] —you would have heard it if you had only been hero in April. An announcement was then made that the Convention was assembling on the other side of the Capitol, and some of the audioncc left. Another Con servative roso and commenced pro testing against proscribing any man now for his past political opinions.— The Republican party was not, he said, strong enough in the State to throw away such aid—it was not strong enough in the North either. Look at Gen. Butler, who did moro than any other man at the Charleston Conven tion to bring on this war. A voice feere cut the speaker short by announc ing that the crowd must walk, around to the other side, and it left en maSse, jeering the speaker as it left. On the othor side was present the largest assemblage over seen in Rich mond, with a considerable sprinkling of whites, and a good deal of confu sion ensued, caused by the immense -erowd. Mr. John Ilawxhurst, of Alexan dria, was chosen temporary Chairman, and Chas. Whittlesey, of Alexandria, temporary Secretary. A recess of two hours was had. In the meantime the other wing had printed and distributed tho following handbill:—“ Republican State Con vention. The delegates to the State Convention of Unconditional Union Men, called to meet in tho African Church in this city, at 12 M. to-day, will meet in the Hall of the House of Delegates this evening, at 8 o’clock, to perfect the organization of tho Re publican party of Virginia. Every delegate is requested to be prompt in attendance. None other than regu larly appointed delegates will bo ad mitted into the Hall.” During the recess several short ad dresses were made, all of them relat ing to the course of Rotts and his clique, and the proposed Convention called by the hand bill. Rotts was denounced as desiring to make the Republican party of the State subser vient to his party or break it up.—• There wero loud cries for Rotts, and a proposition made to send and invite him to explain his position, but it failed. The Committee on permanent offi cers reported in favor of appointing all the old officers of the April Con vention, and recommended that the platform of that Convention bo adop ted witheut alteration. Tho report as to tho offioers was .Adopted, and Mr. Jno. Ilawxhurst was declared permanent Chairman. The recommendation as to the plat form, gave rise to an excited debate. Mr. Dutts of Norfolk said, if this Convention, which was termed a Mass Meeting, adopted the platform, it would %ave nothing to do but to go home, «nd if they did that, then the meeting &eld by the other wing to-night, call ing itself a Convention, would remain in session two or three days, adopt a platform, appoint an Executive Com mittee, and the Republicans would go into the campaign with two parties, -which .would be ruinous. He was followed by the Rev. J. W. Hunnicutt, who urged the propriety of adjourning until to-morrow, at 10 o’clock, in order to give the other Wing’ who had not attended this meeting time to come, and if they would not come in, the blame would be upon themselves. Several motions were made to ad journ and failed. Great confusion reigned around the speaker’s stand. Messrs. Baker and Sterling both at tempted to address the body—Baker declaring he would speak as the meet ing had adjourned, and Sterling tak ing the opposite. The colored Sergeant-at-Arms seiz ed Raker to put him oft, and a row seemed iminent. The platform was adopted without a dissenting voico and the meeting was declared to he adjourned until 10 o’clock, to-morrow morning. The platform drawn up by Mr. Botts and which was unanimously approved by the Conservative wing of the party last night, asserts that secession is a crime, advocates free speech without licentiousness, the payment of the pub lic debt, and repudiation of the Con federate debt, a liberal system of in ternal improvement. The following is the last paragraph, 10th—General amnesty, and restoration to all civil and political rights to the rank and file of the army and to the great body of tho people, who were misled and seduced into the war by moro artful and wicked men, or who wero forced by the conscription, or otherwise ; but exclusion from all political power here after, to those who wore instrumental, either by speaking, writing or preachi ing, in bringing on the war. To-night the appointed meeting or Republican Convention at the Capitol di-1 not take place. In its stead a number of the members of to-day’s Convention appeared and organized a meeting in the Hall of the House of Delegates. Fields Cook, colored, in the Chair. Several speeches w-ere made, complaining of the action of the Convention to-day as hurried and un fair. Rerkly, colored Radical, denounced the convention, said the country dele gations were crowded out by the Rich, mond delegation, said it was no con vention and should not he called so, he wanted to hear what Mr. Rotts had to say, he did not intend nor did the colored people intend to be lead by Mr. Ilunnicut, or Mr. Rotts or any one else who wantod to use them for the purposo of getting office. Mr. Rotts declined to address the meeting to.night but will do so to-morrow. Gen. Pope’s Removal Prgeri. Washington, Aug. 1. —A delega tion of Alabamians waited on the Pre sident a few evenings since and urged tho removal of Gen. Pope, on the ground that his administration of af fairs in District No. 3, was equally as obnoxious as Sheridan’s The Presi dent merely stated that he would make a note of grievances. Admiral Farragut has arrived at Cherbourg and assumed command of tho European Squadrou. In the Surratt trial to-day Mr. Mer rick resumed and concluded tho argu. men t for defence. Sheridan's Military Axe. New Orleans, Aug. I.—Sheridan’s order leaves ono in each board of the original Council on the old board, one in upper and four in the lowor, elected on the Republican ticket. Os the now appointments two in the upper and three in the lower board aro of mixed blood, one in the lower puro nigger, and ono doubtful.

Mrs. Isaac Winship, lately of At lanta, now of Griffin, who has labored so faithfully, and been so indefatiga. ble in the cause of the Confederate soldior and his family, writes under date of tho 26th of July, ult., speak ing of tho region extending from Grif fin to Atlanta— “We have some soldiers’ widows and their children left by'the war, without any means of support what ever. They arc worthy and deserving ladies, but they will never bog. They would work and- make a support, but there is nothing for them to do in this community at this time. Wc under stand here that your Planters will be blessed with overflowing cribs this season ; and he that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord. If they would give only one bushel of corn each to these soldiers’ widows, it would afford them a great deal of assistance, and make many a sad heart to rc joicc.” We do not think it necessary to add another word to the appeal. Tho corn can be left at any of the Depots along the A & G. R. R., secured in bag, box or barrel, and addressed to “Mrs. Isaac Winship, Griffin, Ga., care of Express Agents.” ANOTHER RECONSTRUC TIONIST REPENTED. Col. Carey W. Styles, formerly edi tor of the Quitman Banner, soon after the Blackshear Convention, addressed a communication to the Savannah Re> publican , in which he stated that he “ teas on the reconstruction line,” un der tho reconstruction measures of Congress. The Savannah Weirs A Herald of the 29th ultimo, contains another letter from Col. Styles, in which ho rccanla and says : “Since then the nefarious scheme has assumed such hideous proportions, that self-respect and a due regard for the rights and opinions of true men everywhere, have changed iny views and compelled me to go back to first principles.” lie pays a glowing tributo to the letters and speeches of lion. B. IP Ilill, and says “lie knows no respecta ble white man who intends to be a party to the crime of destroying the Constitution and subverting the Go vernment.” We desire to hear from Col. Styles’ former partner in the Quitman Banner, on the same subject. Out with it Mr. Fildes ? Are you still on tho Black shear Convention Platfohm. A “LOYAL GEORGIAN” DE FUNCT- The “ Loyal (icon/inn,” published by one Bryan, a Radical, at Augusta, Ga., to cheat and delude the colored people of the State, “caved iu” a few days ago, for want of patronage. The editor said he had done all in his pow er to save it, but his funds failed and the paper was on the point of going down, when a number of “Union friends” “ camo to his aid” and the “Loyal Georgian ” gave up the glirat. What a glorious achievement! In its stead however, tho editor’s “Union friends,” bavo started another paper called the “National Republican,” and pitying the poverty of the editor of the Georgian, who failed so signally to get his living by slandering honest people and cheating the poor ignorant blacks, gavo him a small position in the new paper. Many of the colored people in Thomas county wero deceiv ed into subscribing for the “ Loyal Georgian,” and wo told them it was a cheat and a swindle. Wonder if any of them got tho value of their money? They have paid their subscriptions for twelve months doubtless, and now the paper has failed and they are swindled out of six months subscription. Let other Radicals tako warning Bogus loyalty don’t thrive in Georgia. It may be bolstered up lor a while by tiling to the North and to the South, by contributions from tho ignorant blacks, obtained through tho Freed men’s Bureau, and small donations of stealages by Congress, &0., Ac., but must inevitably fall. EDUCATION OF THE COL ORED PEOPLE. The people of Monroe County, Ga., have held a mooting and passed reso lutions, inaugurating the movo of edu cating the colored people by Southern white teachers. This is a good move, let other counties follow her example, and the colored people will not long bo left to tho influence of mercenary Radicals. ANOTHER REMOVAL. The royal military ape, who now rules over tho sth District, known as I’hil Sheridan, has removed Governor Throckmorton of Texas. He is deter mined that his oup ot iniquity shall be full to the brim agaiust the coming day of wrath. REV. JOSEPHUS ANDERSON. The honorable degree of I). D. was conferred upon this eminent divine by Oxford College at its recent commence, ment. NO NOON DISPATCHES. Tho operator informs us that he is unablo to open communication on the line to-day and thinks it is down be tween this point and Savannah. GRANT FOR PRESIDENT. The Republican General Committee of New York, on Tuesday last, nomi nated Gen. Grant for President, as the choice of the party. The follow ing article from the New York Tri bune will show what Iloraoo Greeley thinks of it, and prove to the South one important fact, that Greeley and his wing of the party will not co-oper ate with tho extreme or Radical Re publicans, in the coming Presidential campaign: Soup Societies and tho Presi dency. Os course, nobody thinks a nomina tion "by the Union Republican Com mittee of the least intrinsic importance. The Committee is a Soup Society, dis. sering from others in this respect, that it does not give soup, but asks for it. Every member now presents his ladle to Gen. Gnjnt, and will remain in an attitude of eagerness and hunger; which is piteous to behold. Such a nomination has not much national in fluence; tho Hack-drivers might as well pass resolutions of thanks to George Washington for Iris services in the revolution, or a committee repre senting the l’ie-sellers declare their entire confidence in the correctness of the multiplication table. People would believe that two and two are four, evei if the Pie-men de nied it, and Gen Grant’s popularity is not the 1 -asr. increased by the fact that the Soup Committee believe in it. — Tho nominatioj, therefore, would not be worth notice were it not for the fact that it Was prompted by Thurlow Weed. Ilis approvd of Gen. Grant is one of those extraordinary events which needs be loored into, arid that the Committee gavi “three enthusias tic cheers for Gen Grant and Thur low Weed,” should cause the hero of Richmond great measiness. It is a sinister combinatiin. Shall wc next hear of t.lireo cheeß for Abraham Lin coln arid Vallandijham? Dreadful would be the fate of the General Commaniing the armies of the United Statcsshould be fall into the hands of Weed, as Oliver Twist into the chtchcs of Fagin, the- Jew. We all kiow what Mr. Weed, will do with the General if lie catches him. Just as Fagin tried to make Oliver a thief. Mr. Weed will seek to turn Grant i nt) One of those non-des cript party .'coders who are half Dem ocratic, half Republican, and wholly detestable. lie will turn the Gene ral’s unlfoim inside out; lie will array him in blue and gray, ho will make him anew after his own image; so we shall lave a virtuous soldier ob jecting to the conduct of the war, a patriot whoso highest ambition is of fice, and a statesman whose noblest policy is to make the people forget that principle is greater than expedi ency. Gen. Grant,bound in chains by his conqueror, willie led through tho land as one of the tnphies of the Forlorn Hope. Mr. Wed will turn trium phantly to the Democrats, and say, “Have we doncyou no service, then T Can you regard as any longer as rene gades without i flucnce, and deserters who can’t fight See what wo have brought you!” The chained lion will be patted on th head by Vullandig liam, and cmbaccd by Doolittle.— Woodward, of lennsylvania, will pare the lion’s claws Jessie Bright will pull his toetli, and loratio Seymour clap on tho muzzle. Having thus secured themselves from any sudden remorse or insubordinatim of the lion, Mr. Weed will monrr, upon his back; Val. lundigharo, Tilon, Thomas B. Sey mour, Sunset (ox, Samuel Randall, William B. ltee- and James Brooks, will get up belaid, and with Janies W. Wall of NewJorsey, hanging to the tail, tho whoo party will set off on a trot to Washinfcn. Wc don’t think they would ever reach it; tho load would be too hotry. Jotr Davis’ Apiearanco and Ro eeption at tb Theater Royal, Montreal. Montreal, Julylo,lßG7.—For some da)a past the cit has again been tilled with strangers cming from all parts of the country in pursuit of pleasure, 'file southwest seres to be well repre sented by the mto wealthy ex-Oon tederates. Last evening i was announced that “ex-Prcsident Dims wou and bo at tho Theater Royal towitness tho perfor mance for the beefit of his suffering country.” I refirrod to tho bills and found that the “Rivals” and “Ilis Last Legs” wore to be played for the benefit oi’ the Southern Relief Associ ation. Tho perfornanie commenced with Sheridan’s coned|f on tho “Rivals,’’ ! and at the close d’ the first act, Mr. Davis, accompmitil by his young son and threo female aemhers of his fam- : ily, quietly enter el and took scats iu tho dress circle. The theatre was ; densely crowded dth tho “elite” of tho city, and no s<Sner were the Davis party seen than tio entire audience, i from the pit to the private box, rose and cheered at th«top of their voices for “Jefferson Dvis.” Then came calls for the “Bhnio Blue Flag," j “Dixie” and othr staudard rebel songs. The ordestra gavo them “Dixie” amid chcrs. One of the more excitable Jan Bulls shouted so. as to bo heard abffe tho tumult, “Wo shall live to seo jie South a nation yot,” at which tfero was a fervent “amen.” Mr. Davis Guriy rose to his feet and bowed his acknowledgements, and then sat down, "his was tho sigual for another uutbust, and tho excite ment continued. It was nearly half an hour before th(audiencc was suf ficiently calmed dwn so that the play could proceed.—4 UtmM. [for the southern enterprise.] TO THE MEN OF COLOR IN THOMAS COUNTY. Number 7. Towards the end of the last century, the Yankees, after cool calculation and cyphering, came to the conclusion that it was most to their interest to sell what negroes they had on hand, and substitute white labor in their stead. Up to about 1808, when the slave trade ceased in this country, very few manu factories of any kind had been estab lished in the United States ; but what few there were, were established in Yankeedom. Having got quietly and peaceably rid of their slaves, and the money snugly at home and deposited with tho “old woman,” (lor at that time the Yankees had not invented their thief proof safes; the ladies did not spend from fifty to five hundred dollars at one shopping; and they were -generally considered very safe deposi tories for “surplus,” even under Yan kee economy and thrift.) Before that time the linens and woollens consumed in the United States were all procured irons England, and millions of dollars went to that country annually to pur. chase these supplies. The Cotton and llice of the Southern States were re mitted to pay for them. Now, how nice, thought the Yankee, it would be, to take the money aforesaid and estab lish certain cotton and woollen manu> factories, stop foreign importations of these materials, and thus get the cot ton of the South and the wool of tho West at our own price and sell them our manufactures at the same. No sooner said than done, for they are an enterprising people. Up went their six and seven story manufactories— white operatives are introduced, mostly foreigners—hut they had not the slight est use for the labor of tho colored man or for one of his family. Indeed they had so abused and villified him far an idle, lying, thieving, and altogether good for nothing scamp, that the poor est and meanest of their foreign oper atives would not work alongside of him, or at the satjie bench with him, and often not in tbe same lious-. — These are facts which no well informed Yankee of the present time will deny. And as to voting at the public elec tions, the writer of these articles has seen innocent, well-behaved colored men run from oft the election ground at the North, by a rabble mob ; not for voting, or offering to vote, but merely for coming about there at such a time. I ask the Colored Man who may read this, if lie ever saw or heard of such an outrage upon liis color at the South ? The writer never has. Well, the next turn of your affec tionate and loving follow citizens at the North was (after they had sold you and been paid for you,) to send North ern emissaries down South, who would sneak among you, visit your cabins by stealth at night, detail to you large budgets of lies, advise you to robbery, murder, and other enormous villainies, not from any injuries that they could complain of as having been received at the hands of your owners, but from pure Puritanical malice against the Southerner and an innate desire to commit wickedness and faithfully serve their master the devil. Os course the white man at tho South could know but little of all this. The writer is aware of your relative condition to the white man, Northerner or Southerner, at that time ; lie is well aware, that the veriest scoundrel that ever picked a pocket or robbed an hon est man's entry at home, and would as soon swear to a lie as tell the truth, might visit you, and afterwajds by his iics and false oaths, put you iu tho wrong and you had no redress, be cause your oath could not be taken against his. But all this is altered now. You can tell your tale without fear. You can expose their enormous villainies. You can tell the truth and the whole truth, only taking care that you tell nothing but tho truth. I won. dor that some of you have not made astounding revelations already. More in tho next paper.

Raphael Sonnies, Editor Bulletin, Pirate, Traitor, Spc. Sm : —Some one has sent me a copy of your paper, in which you devote nearly a whole column to my Into speech in Lexington, Kentucky. You think me “incendiary, wicked, bad, and a party ri.anon the Fourth of July.’ What right have you, a vile wretch, living by the grace of God nnd the mercy of a too humane Government, to take a loyal man to task for what he may see tit to say ? Have you so soon forgotten your crimes, or are you insane enough to believe that they are lorgotten among men, and that treason, after all, is not to bo punished? For tho sake of your soul, l beg you not to forget tho past, nor bo unmindful of tho future, for (he day is coming when you and Forrest will both be called to a just account for your misdeeds.— l’iratest and butchers of innocent men cannot long live in America unhung. Be constantly prepared, for you know not tho day nor the hour when the righteous Judge will come to do jus tice. Being a Christian man, when your trouble is great, and deep tribu lation is upon you, send for me, and 1 will come and do all l can to prepare you for your end ; though I tell you frankly, 1 believe no earthly interces sion can save you from the hottest hell in damnation. You fear “such men’’ as 1 am, will “ rise to power ’’ on th shoulders of the blacks. When you recollect your awful guilt, and that by the laws of nations you are an outlaw, well may your coward concience make you fear such an event. You say such men as l instigate the negroes to do lawless acta. You, a pirate and a traitor, are a pretty fellow to talk about instigators of lawless acts. The devil rebuking sin would be a mild comparison. I have always advised the negroes to be law-abiding, quiet, sober, industrious and peaceful, and shall continue to do so. They have no occasion to take the law into their own hands, and when they do, I shall as much condemn them as I do you. We, who are their friends, by the help of God and a Radical Congress, will, in good time, in a legal way, properly punish you and all their enemies and the enemies of the Republic, and in the meantime the negroes will be qui et, orderly and industrious citizens. Yours truly, Jas. S. Brisbin, U. S. A. ADMIRAL BKMMES’ REPLY. Jus. S. Brisbin, b. «S. A. Sir —In former times, when a per son, who had the honor of signing L. S. A. after his name, felt aggrieved, he addressed a private note to the party who he supposed meant to offend him. Such a note from you would have found a ready response at my hands. This was a rule in the old service, where the uniform was a guar anty that the wearer of it was a gen. tleman. What changes the birth of the “New Nation” may have brought about airong those who now wear shoulder-straps I am unable to say.— As you have departed from this rule, I am constrained to regard you as one of those new men of the army, whose education has been defective; though I know nothing of your antecedents, never having heard of your name or fame until I read the incendiary speech delivered by you to the blacks, at Lex ington, Ky., the other day. Having voluntarily placed yourself without the pale of gentlemen, by assaulting me, personally, through the newspapers, there is no other resource left me— unless you should hereafter change your mind- -but to reply to you thro’ the same channel. I do live, I hope, by the grace of God, but not by the mercy of the government of which you speak, since I purchased my persoual safety with a consideration wh-ch has long since been paid to, and enjoyed by the other contracting party, to-wit: the laying down of try arms, and the disbandoriment of niv troops. There are, no doubt, j lonty of such creatures as yourself, who would be glad of the, opportunity to disgrace the govern ment under which they live, by coun self-Dg it to dishonor ; but I have tho satisfaction of believing that there arc other men- in the United States army besides the canaille of Vho Brisbin or der, who “run” the Freedmen’s Bu reau, affiliate with negroes for sinister purposes, 1 and strike at everything gentle in the land, in compliance with the base instincts with which an in scrutable Providenac has created them. But I am wasting words on such nice fellows as yourself/ and so, if you will permit me, I will close our correspon dence by telling you that, in my judg ment, no officer of the United States army, who entertained the sentiments of honor which should characterize a noble proffession, could have wri’tcn the coarse and slanderous attack upon my character which you have had the distinction of producing, for the grati fication of a certain class of black, guards with* whom, probably; yon as sociate.

They will find us friends. But when I sec the low, dingy creatures —hatch, ed from tho venomous eggs of treason —coming here as mere adventurers to get offices through negro votes —to ride into power on the deluded negro’s shoulders—and creeping into secret leagues with negroes and a few retie gade Southern whites, and talking flip pantly about disfranchising the wisest and best me# of the land, because they know it is the only possible chance for knaves and fools like themselves to get place, I can but feel ashamed that such monsters aro to be considered as be longing to the human species. I warn you, my colored friends, if you would be respectable in society,or prosperous iu your purse, or decent in your feel ings to avoid all such people. They will hug ycu and call you friend, nnd talk about your friends, but they will pull you down to degradation, to son row, to poverty, and to shame. They have white skins with black hearts, and will ruin your characters if you associate with them. They are crea tor. s born of political accidency and treasonable conspiracy, and are the enemies of all good governments and of all decent people.” Maximilian’s Will.—l have al ready announced to yon that tho tes" tamentary executor of tho Emperor Maximilian was Count Francois Zichy. I now learn that there is a second Count Haddik. Concerning the wilts of the Emperor Maximilian and the Empress Carlotta some information of a precise nature has reached me, which cannot tail to exoitc the highe-t inter est. From what I learn which, of course, I cannot guarantee, although I have it from the best source, two wills perfectly aoulagom. wetc drawn by the Emperor aud Empress. Each ot them in case there was no issue of the marriage leaves all the property to' the survivor. Thus, Maximiliatvbeing dead, his fortune, estunited at froral ten to twelve millions of florins only calculating his property at Miramar, Lacorma, and the artistic wealth col* leted there, revert to the Empress Oar* lotta. The will of Maximilian is thero to attest it But now comes the strange affair. It is asserted that the Empress Car lotta’s will, written with her own hand, and which Was carefully locked up in one of the looms at Miramar, has suddenly disappeard nobody knows how. or where. From that circum stance it results that, as the Empress Carlotta has no will and is not in a state to make one, soeing the almost complete absence of her meotal foeul*- ties, all her fortune, including th* part coming from her husband, the Empe ror Maximilian, and which l owghfr in justice, after her death, to revert to the Austrian imperial family, will now legally fall to the royal one of Belgium — Vienna Cor.
