Pamilliar Conversation.
NUMBER ONE.
Ah, Mr. Editor, I wish to advertise
by the year in your paper. What
will lour squares cost!
Fifty dollars, sir.
Fifty dollars ! Why I used to get
it done for thirty, before the war. I
can’t pay any more now—there is no
justice or reason in such high prices.
V ery well, sir, if you don’t like the
price let it alone. I wish to buy a
pair of good sewd shoes. What is
the price,
"Six dollars, sir—a very nice article.
Ahem ! what was the price of such
shoes before the war?
From two and a half to three dol
lars, sir! everything in our line, you
know, is higher now.
Yes, sir, have you some coffee, and
what is the price?
We have some very nice Jave at
fifty cents.
Fifty cents ! What was the price
before the war ?
From eighteen to twenty sir.
Well, Mr. Graspall, let me see some
of your bleached shirting. What is
the price of that ?
Bleached shirting is worth half a
dollar per yard, sir.
Did you not formerly sell it from
fifteen to twenty cents per yard ?
Yes, sir: but as I before remarked,
everything in our line is higher than
formerly.
Well, sir, I see I can’t afford to buy
dry goods and groceries, but I am
obliged to have some flour, bacon, and
corn. What arc the articles worth?
Flour is from sixteen to twenty dol
lars per barrel; corn two dollars and
a half per bushel, and bacon twenty
eight cents per pound.
Don’t you remember when I adver
tised for you at thirty dollars, you sold
flour at five dollars per barre', corn at
sixty cents per bushel and bacon at
13} cents per pound ?
Well, yes, 1 believe so.
How then; do you expect me to
pay from one to two hundred per cent,
advance on former prices and not raise
my rates ?
Well, 1 don’t know, Mr. Editor, but
it does seem to mo your prices aro
very extortionate !! !
Reader tho above is no fancy sketch;
nor does it apply to merchants alone.
NUMBER TWO.
Ilello ? is the Editor in ?
Yes, walk in, Mr. Muggins—take a
seat, sir.
I just called to see about taking a
paper, Squire. What aro they going
at now ?
Four dollars a year, sir.
Four dollars ? why I never heard of
such extortion.
Well, Mr. Muggins, I understand
you have some wheat--what do you
ask for it ?
Three dollars a bushel, sir.
I also want some bacon. What is
the price ?
Twenty eight oents per pound, sir.
I wish likewiso to get some corn
and fodder—what aro the prices of
those articles ?
Corn is two dollars and a half per
bushel, and fodder a dollar and a half
per cwt. But hold on let us settle
that newspaper affair. Can’t you let
me have it for loss than Four dollars?
I do not see any good reason lor ask
ing more than you formerly did —
which was two dollars I believe.
(Editor, somewhat excited.) Tho
thunder you don’t I formerly bought
wheat at a dollar a bushel—you now
ask three ! 1 bought baoon at 12}
now you ask 20 ! 1 bought corn at 50
to 75—you now ask two dollars and a
half! 1 bought fodder at 50e per
cwt—you now ask $1,50 ! And soon
to tho end of tho chapter. Lot us
look at tho praotioal working of the
thing. I offer you my paper at two
dollars —'the old price—it you will pay
in produce at old prices. This you
decline to do, because it would take
two bushels of corn, which would at
the preaent price amount to five dol.
lars. It would tako 4000 lbs. fodder
for which you now ask six dollars.
Hold on, Squire—don’t go and fur
ther. Hero arc four dollars ; put
down my name. I find editors are
not after all as uurcasonoble as some
pf the rest of us.
An Opinion. —ln contrast with the
puerile offorts of a sow small boor po
liticians to belittle Mr. Hill we ex
tract the following deserved compli
ment from that able and sterling jour

“Mr. Hill writes well and speaks
even hotter on the theme of resistance
to usurpation and despotism. In his
“Notes on the Situation” there are
passages of splendid invoctivo against
the “powers that be,” which aro hard
ly surpassed by anything of the kind
in the “Letters of Junius,” and his
recent spceoh at Atlanta übouttda in
oratorical efforts which may challenge

THOMASVILLE, GA.:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1867.
REGISTER BY ALL MEANS.
We are sorry to hear that some of
our whito citizens refuse to register.
As we have before stated, it may be
of the utmost importance for them to
vote, and unless they register, they
certainly will not be permitted to vote.
Let it bo remembered that we roust
soon vote for Convention or no Con
vention, and that a bare majority of
those voting for and against the Con
vention will determine the matter. It
is not a majority of the registered vo
ters that must vote for the Convention,
in order to have a Convention of the
State; but a majority of those only,
who actually vote for or against the
Convention. For example, 150,000
votes may bo registered in the State
of Georgia, but only halt of them vote
for or against the Convention, a bare
majority of the half thus voting will
be sufficient to hold a Convention.
Every man therefore, who is opposed
to the Convention should register, that
he may be able to deleat the possibil
ity of a Radical majority. Beside
this, it will he important for all our
white citizens to vote in local or coun
ty and district elections, for members
of the Legislature and Congress ; but
unless they register they cannot vote
at any of these elections. We say
therefore, let every man register who
can.
MUSIC!
What a multitude of sweet sounds,
sweet associations, sweet reminiscen
ces crowd upon the mind at the bare
mention of the word Music. There
are two other words so affectionately
and so appropriately associated with it,
that we are accustomed to bind all of
them together in the same wreath.—
Women, Flowers, Music. In these
lurk all tho earthly power given, to
soften and control the angry, rough
hewn nature of man. They udd the
electric flash to all love poetry or
prose, and originate and inspire tho
only true episode in man’s life of toil
some reality. By the first he is at
tracted, by tho second (beauty)
lasoinatcd, and by the third made pas
sive ; ami the three in one arc irresis
tible. But wo are writing about Music.
The enlightened Europeans make it a
part of their education, and thu3 give
to their sons and daughters tho high
est polish of which human nature is
susceptible. The Americans aro be
ginning to sec the great benefit, and
many are following tho example of tho
Europeans; but thousands aro not yet
far enough out of tho wilderness, or
away from the frontier, to appreciate
a highly cultivated taste. Some are
about half-way. They have a small
tasto “for tho institution,” admit all
its high qualities, and even venture to
place their daughters for a few terms
under a teacher of Musio; but sons
aro not to be thought of in the Music
lino, and the daughters must make
haste and learn in a few months.
You must get out of this, friends.
Music is a recognized scienoe, and
ranks among the noblest given to man.
It is the exquisite touch given by tho
Grand Painter of the Universe, to
adorn and make lovely the works ol
His hands. We ought then to appre
ciate it more. Wo should study it
more, in order that wo may bo ablo to
enter into and onjoy the sweetest har
mony in nature.
Good Musio teachers are needed
everywhere, and should be patronized
by all. llavo wo a good tcaoher with
out patronage? Wo think wo could
put our finger upon one of excellent
talent, and unexceptionable character,
almost entirely neglected. This should
not be so, friends. Look to the in
terests of your daughters-.

[FOR TilE .SOUTHERN ENTERPRISE.]
TO THE MEN OP COLOR IN
THOMAS COUNTY.
Number 8.
In the meantime, while the Yankee
emissaries were operating among you
at the South, their coadjutors at the
North were no less industrious in get
ting up under-ground railroads, estab
lishing way stations and providing
agents along the road to convey you
from post to post clean up to the Brit
ish dominions in Canada. Let it be
noted, that during all this time, the
Constitution of the United States,
enacted by their Delegates as well as
ours, as the supreme law of the land,
controlling and governing all laws re
garding slavery, was in full force, and
demanded their most sacred regard.
Was it so regarded, or was it wholly
set aside ? The above details will
give you the answer, but not the whole
answer; for the Yankee is as cunning
and daring as he ib unprincipled and
unscrupulous. They saw that the
Constitution of the United States
blocked any opcu proceeding to de
prive the Southern people of their
slaves, but on the contrary made it a
high crime and misdemeanor and so
lemnly forbade it. Did this arrest
their proceedings, as it would have
done any honest, law-abiding people ?
Far from it. They went to work in
their State Assemblies, altogether su.
bordsnatc to the Constitution of the
United Sta es in the case before us,
and there passed such State Laws, and
threw so many obstructions in the way
of the Constitution of the U. States,
as to make the provisions of that in
strument, in regard to slavery, a per
fect nullity. If a Planter’s slave was
decoyed or carried away to one of these
States, the Constitution directed that
he should be returned, and the owner
might go there and recover him. This
was, under tho Constitution, a simple
and plain proceeding. But under their
State laws, it cost tho owner more
time, trouble and expense, to get the
negro back, than he was worth, even
if lie got him at all, which he but sel
dom did, as he was generally carried off
by third parties while the legal inves
tigation was going on. And thus the
Planter, with the supreme law clearly,
undoubtedly and indisputably on his
side, generally lost his negro at last.
This is a faithful and true exposition
of Yankeo respect for the provisions
of tho Constitution of the U. States
and of the rights of property. Re
collect that this argument has nothing
to do with the moral or civil question
of the right of property in slaves. —
That had been determined when the
Constitution was enacted by the Con
vention and accepted by the several
Legislatures of tho States, and was
already a settled question, to which
the North as well as tho South had
given their sanction and deolared that
it was morally right.
By this palpable and open violation
of the Constitution many of the slaves
at the South were persuaded off, sto
len and carried away from their own
ers at the South to tho Northern
States and to tho Canadas. This was
done but a few years ago. Where are
t.licso colored people now ? Alas, poor
Yorick ! Not one out of twenty aro
now living to tell where they are. To
servo tho black man was no part or
wish of the Yankee programme. To
injure the whito Southerners was his
wliolo desire. Tho conscquonce was,
that tho colored man was carried to
the North, where he has been thrust
out of employ, out of society, out of
houso and home, and left miserably
to perish in a desolate climate, friend
less and forsaken, amidst his heartless
and deceptive pretended friends. Moro
in the next number.
Your affectionate
Unole Ben.

If Grant is “ tho only man who
can lead the nation from its present
gloomy political night into a brighter
and more effulzcnt day”—then tho
American people might ns well make

freedman of ordinary intelleot through

But, aside from this fact, the shame,
tho pity of it, to seo Southern men,
Southern newspapers, advoonting the
claims of a man whoso hands are red
with the blood of Southern men
whoso reputation, such as it is, was
made up at tho expense of Southern

indeed a s rry sight! We suggest

his consideration the claims of Bon.

dor boat at Fort Fisher? Grant and
Butler? What a concentration of
blockheadisni and brass—iucompoten
cy and robbery—luok and cheek
brutality and bcastiality—know-noth

Judge Nicholas, of Kentucky, on
the Situation,
HIS OPINION OF MR. HILL’S “NOTES.”
To the Editor of the Louisville. Com
riyr. —l cheerfully comply with your
request to furnish for publication my
opinion as to the merits of “Notes on
the Situation, by Hon B. H. Hill, of
Georgia.”
My opinion is that they contain the
most thorough, all-sufficing exposure
yet made of the tyranio-1 u-urpation
attempted in the territorializing acts
for non-construction. A single causal
reading, as they appeared from day to
day in our newspapers, would not jus
tify me in now saying that I coincide
with all the opinions uttered or prin
ciples advanced, but I do not recollect
to have met with any that did not seem
to be substantially, if not entirely, or
thodox. If there is any thing in them,
which Ido not remember, in justifica
tion of the, to me, abhorrent dogma
of secession, that has to be excepted
from this approval.
The force of the logic, the beautiful
finish of the composition, the states
manlike views, and the eloquent de.
nunciation of tho tyranny, have re
ceived my unqualified admiration. A
reprint of them by the ten thousand
and sent broadcast through the North,
would, if anything of the sort possibly
can do it, reach and arouse the Nor
thern conscience. It is a most ungen
erous surmise that our Northern coun
trymen have no political conscience to
be operated on, or are reckless of the
destruction of American liberty so
long as they themselves remain un
scathed in the process of its destruc
tion. Such an uncharitable imputa«
tion is to be referred to the apathy of
those who use it as their pretext for
non-action ; rather than to a veritable
belief in such unworthiness. Upon
the radical leaders of the minority
party that has got control of Congress,
and upon all of their followers who
are partaking or hope to partake of
the spoils, all argument or rernon.
strance is, of course, thrown away ;
but, numerous as they are, they do not
constitute near tho half of those who
elected the destructives to Congress'
* * * * *
All such delusion (as that the recon
struction scheme will restore the
Union) ought now to be dispelled.—
The supplementary act of the present
session should effectually dispel ail
such delusion, and convince every ono
that the destructives have never in
tended to allow any reconstruction
that was not accompanied with the as
sured guaranteo of their party supre
macy. They will stop at nothing for
tho retention of spoils and power. —
They should be met, as freemen should
ever moot tyrannical usurpation, by a
bold, manly, denunciatory defiance,
and not with the timid policy of the
ostrich, who hides his head in the sand
with tho silly hopo of thereby escaping
his enemy.
Newspaper Power.
The revenues of a great newspaper
are large enough to outbid any other
competitor, whilo its audience is so
vast and general that he who has a
story to tell, or an argument to press,
hurries to its columns. The only in
stitution in a Republic which verges
upon the monarchical, is that of an
editor. If there were but a single
newspaper, this would become a ty
ranny, and society would be at the
mercy of one man, clothed with an im
palpable, irresponsible, imperious pow
er, which onoio with every day of life,
assuming to tear down and build up,
to honor or dishonor, to reward and
punish. Tho multiplication of news
papers avoids this. If one editor com
mits a wrong, there are twenty who
will see that justice is done.
While journalism is becoming a pro
fession more powerful and respected
than that of any other—which, in
deed, embraces and fashions all oth
ers—its news facilities are marvelous.
Stoam and the celographic have added
greatly to the usefulness of the press.
Few, but those in the profession,
know tho almost endless ramifications
of a great newspaper. Tho editor who
sits ovor his midnight lamo quietly
arranging his oolumns, has his ser
vants in every quarter of the world.
Ilis orders are obeyed in tho domin
ions of the Taicoon and tho Sultan, in
tho torrid countries of South Arneri
en, and on the dreamy, humid shores
of Walrnssia. Ilis ministers may be
found closeted with Count Bismarck,
or riding on tho trail of the merciless
Indians. And so through overy branch
of business and in every relatiou oi
life. —A. Y. Tribune.
Radical Impudonee. —llunnicull,
tho vile leader of tho Radical party in
Virginia, was a negro trader before the
war, and had a slave pen in Richmond.
Winters, ono of tho Radical loaders in
Tennessoe, purchased, some years ago,
says tho Knoxville Register, a colored
woman at a family salb, and afterwards
learning that she was born free, bor
rowed money from a neighbor to beur
his oxpenses in carrying her South to
sell her, which he did. These are the
men who are decoying the negroes
into midnight leagues and swearing
them to bear allegiance to them and
their clan. Winters, like Brownlow,
now professes the tenderest love for
the poor negro.
richest endowments of tho
mind are temperance, prudence and
fortitude. Prudence is a universal
virtue, which enter* into the oompisi
tion of all the rest; and where she is
not, fortitude loses its name and na
ture. — Voltaire.
g&'Prentice says of Hill’s speoch :
“It is a remarkable speech. It is
stirring, splendid and scathing. It
is a stinger and a stunner. And withal
it is as sound as tho Constitution and
joyal as the Union.”

A MEMORY.
I knew a fair young girl.
With a spirit mild and tree,
As the bird that flits o’er the dimpled wave,
Then away to the wildwood flee.
And she seems like a wreath of mis!,
As she moves thro’ the summer bowers,
With a step too floatingly soft to break,
The sleep of the dreaming flowers.
Her eye is bright and clear,
As the depths of a shaded spring,
And beauties name on her brow is set,
On her cheek its signet ring ;
And her voice is like the souu t
Os a wave through the twilight leaves,
Or a Peri’s tone from a moonlight cloud,
In the hush of the summer eve.
Along her temples pale
The blue veins seem to flow,
In their winding course, half seen, half hid,
Like streams in a field of snow;
And her shining tresses there
Their beautiful light unfold,
Like a painted cloud when the sunlight lifts
Its shadowy wings of gold.
To me each thought of her
Is a gleam of light and love;
A gentle dream sent down to earth,
From the holy depths above.
’Tis a blessed sunbeam cast
On affliction’s cloud of tears ;
A star o’er the waste of a weary heart,
A bow on the sky of years. P.
Thad. Stevens Despairs of Im
peachment. The remarks of Mr.
Stevens in the House after the read
ing of the veto message, briefly refered
to some days ago, aro significant. They
are reported in full as follows :
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, said.
I agree precisely with the eloquent
speech of ray amiable colleague across
the way, [Mr. Randall,] that we can
not impeach the President ot the Uni
ted States. But I say to our friends
on this side who are urging that meas
ure, that they are urging it in vain.—
The result of my motion the other day
clearly disclosed that; and without at
tempting to make disclosures, I under
take to say that there are unseen
agencies at work in this country which
will prevent the impeachment of the
President. 1 have taken some pains
to understand the composition of the
House and the composition of the
Senate, and I am quite certain that
there are enough of persons in the
Houso, first to prevent the presentation
of articles of impeachment; and, se
condly, that there are enough of per
sons in the Senate, if articles of im
peachment were voted, to pievcnt tho
conviction of the President. So that
I repeat, any attempt to impeach the
President will be vain and futile. It
is impossible to pierce the panoply
which surrounds the White House.
Radicalism Weakening. —A con
vention of the i‘ Union party ” of
Orange county, Indiana, was held the
other day, by which some very signifi
cant resolutions were adopted. Two
of them are as follows:
Resolved, That while we rejoice at
the downfall of slavery and the estab
lishment of universal liberty through
out the Republic, we do not believed
it possib or desirable to establish social
or political equality between the black
and the white races. As citizens of
a loyal State in the Union we claim
the right to establish such laws in re
gard to suffrage as to us shall seem
best calculated to secure the harmony
and prosperity of our people.
Resolved, That all attempts to es
tablish either social or political equal
ity by legislation only tends to disturb
the peace of society and corrupt the
purity of the ballot-box. Therefore
we aro in favor of the soperation of the

Generosity of the Jews. —The Jews
are often spoken of as extremely pe
nurious and money-loving. We ad
mire their (spirit of independence and
the indefatigable industry of the race.
To tho needy of their own class they
are most beneficent. In consequcnoe,
who has ever seen an Israelite beg
ging ? We already leave recorded
the liberality of the small congrega
tion in this city towards the purchaso
of the old Presbyterian church build
ing to be used as a public school, the
buying of which is trow a fixed fact.
In the fcvoutliern Baptist Convention,
recently held at Memphis, liev. Mr.
Renfro, of Alabama, stated that, on
his expressing a desire to attend the
session, but his inability to do so on
account of money, a leading Jew of
his town made up the requisite funds
from a small synagogue and presented
them to him in such a way that they
could not be refused. In all liberal
enterprises the Jews contribute as
freely as any other sect. Wo know
they do in our city. Where they fail
to do so is the rare exception, not the
rule.— Columbus Sun.
