SOUTH GEORGIA & FLORIDA
RAILROAD.
In our last Friday’s issue we men
tioned several of our citizens as hav.
ing set out to attend the Railroad
meetings in Mitchell, Baker and Dou
gherty counties. We failed to men
tion among them the name of Col. S.
B. Spencer, who took tho trip and ren
dered efficient service. Wa are in.
formed that the people of Mitchell and
Baker have gone to work in earnest to
raise subscription, and that tho people
of Dougherty, though their meeting
was deferred to September, will do
their duty in the matter. The gentle
men alluded to have all returned, and
bring tho gratifying news that there
is now no doubt that the South Geor
gia & Florida Railroad will be con
structed, and the work commenced
this full.
CONSERVATIVE STATE CON
VENTION,
The Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel
calls for a Convention of the Conser.
vative men of Georgia, for the purpose
of organizing a Constitutional Union
Party , to be kept entirely free from
entangling alliances with either of the
existing parties at tho North. The
Columbus Enquirer endorses the pro
position aud thinks such a party is
needed to “avert imminent dangers
now at hand.” Query—How could
such a party avert those dangers ? It
seems to ms that a union of the South
ern with the Northern Conservatives,
is the only possible means of averting
the danger.
CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS.
The Quitman Banner says, that
Patrick Ficklin (colored) has announc
ed himself in Brooks county as a can
didate for Congress. Let him run.
It is plain that Congress will admit
none but Radicals, and we think tho ■
best policy of the South is for all to
turn Radical, and send up a full dele,
gation of negro Congressmen. We
will vote for colored of tho deepest die,
in preference to any hypocritical, sneak -
ing, traitorous white Radical.
SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR.
We esteem this as tho best w- or k of
the kind published in the. South, and
as it treats principally 0 f Southern far
ming, is tho niost valuablo to Southern
farmers. Death has doprived tho
Country of the eminent services of its
former editor, Mr. W. N. White, but
the Southern Cultivator comes fully up
to its reputation in the hands of its
present able editor. It is too well
known to our readers to need recom.
mendation.
GOOD DOCUMENTS.
Wo are under obligations to the
publishers of tho Augusta Chronicle
& Sentinel for pamphlet copies of
Hon. B. H. Hill’s “ Notes on the Sit-,
uation,” and his able and eloquent
speech at Atlanta on the 16th of July.
We havo before notified our readers
that these unanswerable arguments
could be procured in this form at the
office of the Chronicle Sentinel.—
Those who have not read them should
procure copies at once.
THOSE RAILROAD MEET
INQS.
Brother Russell of the Bainbridge
Argus is again fuming and sweating
over our South Georgia fc Florida
Railroad meetings. Ho don’t liko to
see us making headway. He says “but
little good can result from those moot
ings at this time of the year,” and
thinks we ought to put thorn off until
December. He would like it better if
wo would put them off forever. If
they do no good, Brother llussell, you
should not bo uneasy. How was it
that you raised one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in Decatur in a time
of dearth ? You only raised it in
bonds eh? Well, if you can build
railroads upon moneyless bunds, cannot
we follow the example ? “ Dry up ”
then, attd let us alone, for we are bound
to build a railroad, money or no monoy.

A PUBLIC NUISANCE.
Mr. Editor :—I complain of Dogs
as a publio nuisance in this goodly
town ot’Thoßtasville. To say nothing
else, the everlasting noise they keop
up, especially of nights, is absolutely
intolerable. To sick and nervous per
sons it is a greet annoyance. They
sometimes hold meetings, (for Radical
purposes, I suppose,) when such on
uproar ensues as baffles description.
My neighbor has a dog, whose tongue
is nearer “perpetual motion” than any
thing of the kiud that ever was in
vented. It must be a very valuable
animal to justify him in keeping it to
the great diseomfoit of so many ot bis
friends. It is presumed they are nil
valuable animals, Mr. Editor, else our
city fathers would pass a “ Dog Law ”
for the abatement of the nuisance.’ If
they don’t do it soon, I trust wo shall
have a visitation of Dog Cholera, or
something of the kind, which will rid
the town of such a useless evil.

TO THE MEN OF COLOR IN
THOMAS COUNTY.
Number 9.
By this time all the North had run
crazy ou the subject of abolitionism.
The pulpit, the rostrum, the lecture
room, the court room, tho colleze, the
school, and wherever else it could be
introduced, all resounded with the
anathemas of abolitionism. Anybody
that wanted any thing to prosper had
only to set it on this bobby. It was
found to be the stepping stone and the
highway to all promotion; and yet,
singular as it may appear, in all this
turmoil the actual or true condition of
tho colored man was seldom thought
of, inquired into, or mentioned ; all
this ado was sheer rant and fustion.
But it had the effect intended. It
kept tho pious hypocrite in a fat, snug
berth ; it kept the ranting politician in
power and place, and it kept politics
and society without a discordant jar.
All the North was happy in abusing
the South. Even the Parson was
happy just in proportion as he could—
What? Preach Christ crucified ?
Pshaw! Not at all, but could preach
the Southern slaveholder to eternal
torments ! The Churches North and
South, which before that time were in
harmony, were now rent asunder;
Christian fellowship was broken off;
and slaveholders, of which their fath
ers and mothers, sisters and brothers,
had all been partakers thirty years be
fore, were now all promiscuously con
signed to the devil without bail or
tnainprize. The people were actually
run mad, totally beside themselves.
Under this fanatical crusade slavery
went by the board and was abolished;
but what for, has never yet. been dis
tinctly understood by your Uncle Ben ;
and how far it is to be productive of
good or evil, cither to the white man
or the black man, remains yet to be
seen. Certain it is, it was never in
tended to be of any benefit to either
by the leaders in tho Radical party.
Helper, their principal agent hero at
the South, in his “Impending Crisis,”
pretended to be wholly and entirely
in favor of freeing tho colored man
from slavery—that that was his sole
object and nothing else; but no sooner
are they freed from their legal bonds,
than he goes to work and writes ano
ther book, advocating their immediate
reduction to slavery again. This wri
ter has always been under the guid
ance of the rabid Radicals of the
North; and is, no doubt, under theif
guidance and pay still. lie writes
now, as ho did heretofore, whatever
he is directed to write by the Radi
cals, and by them is paid for his ser
vice's. Well, what docs ho write now ?
I make tho following extract from his
new book—as follows:
“ Question —What is the best and
only true remedy for the present and
prospective troubles now brewing in
in tho United Slates, between the
White People and the Negroes?
“Answer. —An absolute and eternal
separation of tho two races.
“Question —How could the separa
tion here proposed bo speedily and
prudently effected ?
“Answer. —By giving full and for
mal notice to the negr.ocs--every one
of them, including tho mulattoes, tho
quadroons, tho octoroons, and all the
other non whites, that after tho 4th
day ol' July, 1876, their presence
would bo no longor required nor tol
erated north of tho northern bouudary
of Mexico, and by assisting them, to
a limited extent, to get somewhere (it
matters very little where) south ol that
south moving boundry.
“Question. —Is there no other man
ner in which tho negroes, who aro fast
becoming an unbearable nuisance,
might be finally and effectually sepa
rated from that really estimable por
tion of the people of the United States
—tho white pooplo—who while they
aro eminently worthy, ure also enligh
tened and progressive ?
“Answer. —Yes. All impure com
plexioncd persons, of whatever nation
ality, whether black or brown, whether
negroes, Indians, or Chinese, or bi
colored hybrids, now resident in the
United States, might (for tho present
at least) bo colonized in a Stato or
Territory by themselves, in Texas or
in Arizona, for instance, and there,
under suitable regulations, required to
remain strictly within the limits as
signed to them.
“Question. —In any policy in which
we, the white people of tho United
States, may bo inducod to pursue to
ward the negroes, what should always
be with us a controlling motive —what
should unfailingly constitute ono of
tho great and ultimate ends at which
wo shulod aim ?
“ Answer. —IVo should so far yield
to tho evident designs and purposo of
Providence, ns to be both willing and
anxious to see the negroe‘B, liko the
Indians and all other effete and dingy
Inied races, gradually exterminated
from tho face of the whole earth.
“Catechising thus or in a somewhat
similar, vein, l might proceed much
farther; but before either a-king or
answering any ttoro quest'u ns, l deem
it proper to bring forward abundant
and irrefragible demonstrations of the
iaof, tho negro, as compared with the
whito man, is a very diforent creature,
grossly inferior being; and also that
this dafforencc of tho negro, is natural,
oonspiuuous and permanent.
“In tho prosecution of this labor, I
shall bring to my aid the investigations
and disooverios of the most learned
naturalists that havo ever lived; aud
these, surely, are those whose voioes
above all others, should be most atten
tively heard and hooded in the discus
sion of the specific subject hero men
tioned. *
Thus this precious Helper, at the
instigation of the Radicals, first helpod
them to rob the Southern whites of
your services and value, and is now
helping them to flrive you out of the
country, that tKey may get possession
of it themselves.
Your affectionate
Uncle Ben.

MY TRAVELS IN TEXAS.
Mr. Editor .-—Since iny return from
Texas I have felt inclined, for the in
formation of any and all who may feel
interested, to write a few articles for
the Enterprise, giving the results of
my observations during,my late tour
in that State. And before I begin I
wish it distinctly understood, that I
claim no merit as a “letter writer;”
neither shall I attempt to imitate the
style in which ffNotes of Travel,” are
usually written, but I shall endeavor
to give what I liave to say in plain and
intelligible language. 1 will say ano
ther thing. Whatever these commu
nications may hek of readable and at
tractive style, I intend they shall have
tho merit of candid and truthful state
ment. Let this suffice as a prelude
and 1 will begin my story.
South- Western Texas. By South-
Western Texas I mean, that portion of
tho country lying west of the Colorado
river ar.d contiguous to the coast, em
bracing the counties of Jackson, Vic
toria, DeWitt, Lavacca, Colorado and
Fayette—t,he counties which L visited.
A Texas imp had better be consulted
if you have one at command.
In this letter 1 will try and describe
the surface formation of this part of
the State, commencing at the mouth
of the Lavacca river, which empties
into the bay of the same name, which
is about three miles wide and twelve
or fifteen miles long. Now, mark yu,
this beautiful sheet of water is bound
ed nearly all round, by an abrupt hill
or bluff, from fifty to seventy feet high,
with here and tliero clumps of live oak
trees and patches of ehap-ar-ral, and
covered with prairie grass as green as
a wheat field, affording a beautiful and
lovoly scene, as we sailed up the bay
into the mouth of the Lavacca river.
Extending back from the tops of these
hills, for thirty miles, is an unbroken
dead 1 ;yel plain of open prairie, upon
which, from a thousand to two thou
sand head of cattle may he seen feed
ing at a sight.
Tho river valleys are bounded by
the same elevated bluffs which bound
the bay, and 0 f similar formation—
minding this, however, that these hills
up and down the rivers, are frequently
CUc through by draining ravines from
the plains beyond.
The river bottoms are from a half
mile to a mile and a half wide, and are
divided into what the people call bot
tom and valley lands —the bottom be«
ing a belt of densely timbered land,
lying immediately on the rivers—the
Valloy land is n few foot, high-r, and
extends back to the foot of the hills,
arid is free iron overflows. Titmberod
bottoms aro tke richest, but being at
times subject to overflow, the valley
lands aro almost exclusively cultivated,
as they are priirie as well as free from
overflows, and rich enough. Tin so
prairie lauds on tho rivers, not only
extend back to the bottom of the hills,
but frequently tip the slopes, where the
post oak timber sets in, covering the
tops of the hills, and extending back
on the plains from a quarter to a mile
wide. These post oak ridges on each
side of the streams, in many places,
furnish tho most beautiful situations
for residences,being elevated, say fifty
feet above the open valley below ; and
I may add, these aro tho only locali
ties suitable fdr settlements, affording
convenient timber and water —all tho
balance of the country being a level
hog-wallow prairie.
On the top of thoso bluffs or hills
for sometime* they aro stoop enough
to be called bluffs, and then again
gently sloping from tlioir top* to the
valleys below—are covered, frequent
ly, with drift pebbles, and tho caloari
ous sandstone often cropping out as
you descend tho hills to tho valleys;
affording in many places an abundant
material for building.
These remarks on the surface for
mation. aro appl cablo only to that part
of tho country lying from the coast
thirty miles back, where those level
prairie plains gradually riso into a bro--
ken rolling country, wlicro timber and
prairio become more genorallv inter
mixed, without regard to water cour
ses, and wlu-ro settlements are moro
extended through the oouutry.
The beds of tho streams are from
twenty to thirty foot deep, frequently
covered with sandstono, mixed with
lime,called oaloarions sandstono. Those
deep channels of tho streams aro duo
to two things:—First, the irreat fall
which the water courses have, and tho
consequent rapidity of their currents ;
and secondly, to the character of the
soil through which they run—tho top
being a rich, black, sandy loam, while
tho substrata are a mixture of clay,
sand and lime, easily washed away. In
places tho clay predominates, giving
the banks tho appearance of good red
clay, but generally the liuio and sand
prevails, giving them a rotten, marly
appearance. lam now done with sur
face formations.

Trial of the Fire Engine “Nep

' This side stroke hand engine, which
was recently sold by the city to the
city authorities of Thomasville, was
tried yesterday afternoon at 6} o’clock,
at Arnold Square. The engine has
been put in thorough working or
der by Captain Barron, assisted by
Engineer Burns and others. Her in
inside works have been regulated and
adjusted ; she has been neatly painted,
and presented quite an attractive ap
pearance.
The trial was merely to test wheth
er she was in order before transporta
tion, and through one, two and three
nozzles, her performance was consid
ered satisfactory. The Thomasville
firemen, if they make as good use of
her as her former custodians—the
[Washington Fire Company of this
city—will keep up the reputation she
has enjoyed by universal consent, as
the best hand engine in tn s depart
ment. Let her rip, boys of Thomas
ville, and she will prove a valuable ad
dition to the city of Thomasville.—

Black Man’s Party. —The New
York Tribnne deems it necessary to
say a word to some of its Southern
friends under the above head. It
says:
* * * Those men in tho South
who are working to establish a black
man’s party are the enemies of this
principle of equality, and if they carry
out their plans they will strike Repub
licanism a blow far heavier than the
Democracy can deal. They will go
fur to undo the grand reform of which
the war was the instrument. In Vir
ginia it is feared that the State Repub
lican Convention, August 1, will be
the occasion of a division in tho Re
publican ranks, and the creation of ri
val parties, black and white. In Mis
souri, also, there are adventurers who
urge the colored to demand represen
tation on the Presidential ticket, and
in case it is refused, to form a separate
organization. We do not believe these
eflorts will be sustained by the colored
men, for they surely know the fatal
results of such an unprincipeled pol
icy.
Proposed Disposition to be Made of
the Peabody Fund. —A Teacher’s Con
vention, for tho Stats of Virginia, was
in session &t Lynchburg last week.
The session was a very interesting
one. Rev. Dr. Sears, General Agent
Peabody Fund, was present and ad
dressed the Convention in a very en
tortainig speech, in the course of
which he stated his intention in visit
ing tho South was,for tho purpose of
thoroughly examining into the educa
tional wants of the country, with a
view to decide how the cause would
be best subserved in the distribution
of tho Peabody Fund—whether in its
appropriation to Primary or Normal
Schools, or to Academies and Colleges.
Ho further s'ated that Virginia's share,
in tho donation of Mr. Peabody, would
amount, perhaps, to $150,000 —the
interest upon which, at six per cent,
would be nine thousand dollars per
annum.
We note these facts for the interest
and information of the people of Geor
gia whom, it is understood, Dr Scars
will shortly visit.
The Tribune on Tennessee Radi
calism.—Tho conduct of Browalow and
his followers in Tennessee must be
bad indeed, when it calls forth censure
like tho following from the New York
Tribune. Speaking of “ butcheries”
that havo taken placo in that unfortu
nate State, tho Tribune says :
That at ltogersville must bo placed
to the discredit of tho Radicals. They
had no business at the meeting except
as quiet listeners. If they did not
choose to hear Ethridge—and we know
that his harangues aro moro vitriolic
than thoso of any other livo man,
Brownlow possibly excepted —• they
had only to keep out of ear-shot. No
matter how bitter, how unjust, were
Etheridge’s words, that was not the
time nor tho place for contradiction. —
Asa presiding officer iu a legislative
body would say, “The gentleman from
West Ton nessoo has tho floor;” and
no one else had a right to it unless in
vited by the party in possession.
We earnestly say to the sedate, con
siderate Tennesseeans, of both parties,
you must unite to put a stop to these
disgraoeful, murderous collisions.—
You must not ask nor consider to
which party their authors belong, but
subjoot them impartially to tho stern
est legal discipline. Unless you do
this promptly, you will soou bo invol
ved in a fresh civil war, while security,
order, industry, prosperity, will flee
your State as though it woro plague
stricken.
Northern Prejwlice Against the
Blacks. —A bill passed Congress at
its last session to make colored men
eligible to office aud as jurors in
Washington. The President pocketed
tho bill, and henoe it failed to become
a law. We havo not observed, says
the Baltimore Sun, that a single Rad
ical organ ha 9 launched its thunders
at tho President’s head for this omis
sion. Tho message vetoing expressed
in language of moderation and respect
to Congress, drew down upon him a
hurricane of invective and denuncia
tion, but liia failure to return the bill
giving office to colored men in \\ ash
ington has not sourol the temper of
the most irritable llad cal.
The Poll. —The Chattanooga Union
thinks Brownlow's majority will Ik
-25, 000. It says : “Tho reader will
perceive that this is but a sinad ma
jority when wc recollect that there are
80,000 white and negro votes in the
State. Mr Etheridge probably got
10,000 votes all told. Brownlow got
35,00, reading a vote of 45,000, and
35,000 legal voters did net go to the
polls. This is what the radical organs
call ‘an uprising of the people ’ ’*
Abolitionists.
The word ’’Abolitionst” is derived
from the transitive verb “ abolish ”
which Webster defines as follows :
“Abolish—lst. To make void; to an
nul; to abrogate; applied chiefly and
appropriately to establish laws, con
tract, rites, customs and institutions.
2d. To destroy.” Now let us see what
our Abolitionists have abolished de
stoyed, annulled and made void:
They have abolished liberty.
They have abolished the Union.
They have abolished the Constitu
tion.
They have abolished trial by jury,
They have abolished the laws and
They have abolished ten States.
They have abolished a republican
form of government.
They have abolished the peace and
fraternity of tho country.
They have abolished all respect for
the written Constitution.
They have abolished the sacred ness
of tho church.
They havo abolished the freedom of

They have ablished the freedom of

They have abolished freedom of

They have abolished freedom of re

They havo abolished all that the
late war was waged for.
They have abolished all that our
forefathers fougiit for.
They have abolished gold and silt
ver.
They have abolished equal rights to
all.
They have abolished equal taxation.
They have abolished economy and
honesty in the administration of the
Government.
They have abolished low prices,
cheap living, good times and the geu
oral prosperity.
They have abolished the cotton
crop, and the millions of gold result
ing from our exports.
They have abolished a millim of
lives.
They have abolished from three to
six thousand millions of treasure.
They have abolished our Southern
market.
They hove abolished our conlmerce
upon the seas.
They have abolished our indepen

iron mongers.
They have abolished representation
as a corrollary of taxation.
They havo abolished the United
States Senate.
They have abolished the United

They havo abolished the United

Suppress newspapers.
Silence lectures.

Can take possession of savings bank
Can enact stay laws and postpone

Can prohibit the distillation of corn

Can run down city stocks and repu
diate city curronocy*
Can spend $500,000 for registering
black voters and ask for $500,000 more
Can abolish local taxes and regulate
the circulation of papers.
Can settle the rate of wages and the
price of commodities.
Can disobey tho Prosidont and in
sult the Cabinet.
They can do all this, and far more,
What they can do, no ono has ventur

SUFFER NO HOKE !
Tons of quack medicines have u-eu manu
factured and bottled up and cent in every di
rection all over the country, and have been re
commended top by the press and public; but
the moat of these recommendations have been
bought by the manufactures, we believe, to
enable them to [meet with sale for tbeir medi
cines. This is not the case with "the pure, gen
uine, harmless, palatable and purely vegetable
medicines of Prof. H. 11. ICayton.of this city,
who manufactures them himself, and who bee
assured us personally, that they consist of in
gredients that are perfectly innocent. These
medicines are the Oleum Vitie, for the cure of
Rheumatism. Neuralgia, Rheumatic Pains in
the Back, Breast, Sides, or Joints • Toothache,
Nervous Headache, Earache, Sprain*, Bruises,
Swellings, Cots, Insect Bites, Burns, dec.; the
Ma-'ic Cure, for Sudden Coughs and Colds,-
Asthma, Acid Stomach, Heartburn, Sore
Throat, Sea Sickness, Cholera, Diarrhoea,
Cramps, Pains in the Stomach ; and the Dys
peptic Pills, for the cure of Dyupepsia, Billions
Disorders, Constipation, aiuftne many disor
ders of the Liver, Stomach, and Bowels. There
are very few who are not troubled with at least
one of these complaints. To those who are
suffering with either of them We Would advise
them to procure Professor Kayton’s remedyp
and take it according to directions. We have
used the Oleum Vita; ourselves for Toothache
and Nervous Headache, and in out family for
Sprains and Bruises, and do not hesitate to’say
that it perfected cures to our satisfaction. We
shall always keep a bottle in crar medicine
chest.— Sav. Business Circular.
