L. C. BRYAN, : : : : Editor. THOMASVILLE, GA.: TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1867. TO CIVIL AND MILITARY OFFICERS. Gen Pope having issued an order prohibiting all civil and military offi cers in the Third Military District, from advertising in newspapers oppos ed to Reconstruction under the Acts of Congress, all such officers, in Thom as and the adjoining counties, are hereby notified that their advertise meats will be published South ern Enterprise free of charge, during the period Gen. Pope’s order shall continue in force. FLETCHER INSTITUTE. We oommend to the friends of edu cation, the communication we publish to-day signed “Education.” The sug gestion made by the writer, to place Fletcher Institute upon College foot ing, is one that recommends itself se riously to the public in this section. A College for the graduation of young men and young ladies is needed in Tuoiuasviiitt, and would redound to the interests of Thomasville and the whole section of country. The locality and society are unexceptionable, while the facilities and cheapness will com. pare favorably with any other place in the State. The gentlemen alluded to by our correspondent are all lie claims for them, and we would be pleased to see them occupying the position he suggests. Will our people take the subject ioto consideration ? Wo trust they will. This is our home, if we have any on earth, and it is our duty as well as our interest to build up our educational institutions, and surround and fortify ourselves with all the fa cilities to good taste, education and re finement. SURGICAL OPERATION. The operation on the head of our friend, Major Terrell’s child has been performed, and thus far with success. This performance took place in Thom asville on Monday morning of the prpsent week. It was ascertained that the brain had been penetrated in one or two places by pieces of the fractur ed skull, and it was necessary to re move a prrtion of the brain. This, however, is no particular cause of dis. couragement, if fever does notseverely intervene. It is needless for us to re mark that the most lively interest is felt in the community for the success of this very serious case. We clip the above from the Bain . bridge Southern. Georgian of last week and take pleasure in staling that the child referred to is rapidly recovering. It is walk'rig about and talking, and no further danger is ap prehended from the wound. In jus tico to the able Surgeon who perform ed this dangerous operation so success fully, we take the liberty of staling that the parents are indebted to the well known abilit yof our fel ow citi zen, Dr. Robert J. Bruce. HARD QUESTIONS. The Maoon Telegraph puts two hard questions to the Atlanta New Era, Gen. Pope’s organ. They aro as fol lows : First —“Dees tho editor of the Era approve the withdrawal of patronage from newspapers beoause of an honest difference of political opinion ?” Second —“While the Reconstruction hills leavo the people of tho South free to accept or reject them, dues the edi tor of the New Era hold it right for thoso who think proper to exercise (hat privilege in accordance with their judgment of what is right und best for the country.” The Telegraph bogs the Era, not to dodge the question, but wo may safely predict that the Radical organ of tho Pope administration will shelter itself behind a long article of bosh, upon tho right of the conquerors over the con quered, &o. PERSONAL. Wo had the pleasure yesterday of a visit by Mr. Lamotte of the Sa vannah Herald, who canto tip with tho Fire Department, Delegation of Savnn. nab, accompanying the Neptuno Fire Engine. It is Mr. Lamotta’s first visit to ThomascUlo and he acknowledged to favorablo impressions of our peoplo, enterprise and locality. We expect an entertaining article from his pen on his visit to Thonnsville and atton. danco upon the Fire Company ovator in to-morrow’s Herald. ANDREW FEMALE COLLEGE. We have received a handsome Oata 1 logue ol tho operations of tho übove College for 1866 and 1867, looated at Cuthbcrt Geo. The College is repres ented to be in a flourishing condition, under the energy and ability of a full faculty of able teaohers. This College is an enterprise of the Georgia Meth odist Conference and recommends it self to all Methodists io Southern Georgia. THE SHOOTING AFFAIR AT BOSTON. We havo received a communication from James B. Hancock, the party shi t in tho above affair, correcting in his opinion the written information published last week on the same sub ject. Wc have no room to day, but will give Mr. IPs version in our Fri days issue, and venture to hope no j further recrimination will be published. ARRIVAL OF THE FIRE ENGINE. The splendid Fire Engine for Nep tune Fire Company, arrived in Thom asville by passenger train on Monday morning, accompanied by a large dele gation from the Savannah Fire De-1 partmoht, headed by Mr. Janies M. Barron acting chief ot Deputation. On arrival at the depot the officers of Neptune Fire Company received and escorted them to the Hotel. At 9 o'clock, Neptune Fire Company formed and escorted the delegation to the depot, wore the engine was re moved from the train and paraded through the streets, then carried to the pond where the trial took place The engine did not project as far as was expected, but this was doubtless ow ing to the want of muscle, for the boys were by this time very much fatigued under the effects of immensely hot weather. After trial she was taken to the hotel where the Savannah Deputa tion, Neptune Fire Company and a large number of citizens assembled. Mayor Harris then formally rei ccived the report of the Committee from the Council, appointed to exam ine and report upon the engine, which report was favorable, when Phillip M. Russell, Keq , President of the Ogle thorpe Fire Company, introduced Mr R. W. Saucy, of the Metropolitan, who, in a short but chaste and elo qu:nt address, returned thanks for courtesies, &c. Mayor Harris responded in his usual felicitous style, and transferred the Engine to Neptune Fire Company, who also responded in a pleasant man ner through Mr. Jeffers, Foreman. Several other gentlemen were called on to speak, among whom was Col. P. McGlashan, who said “dinner was ready,” and forthwith all hands ad journed to the dinner table, where a sumptuous feast had been prepared. After dinner Mayor Harris was call ed upon for a toast and said, “Gentle men, I pledge you in this glass of cold water, the clement to be used by our Neptune in subduing tho opposite cle ment fire. Success to the Savannah Fire Department, tho Thomasville Fire Department, and the well wishers of Fire Departments everywhere.’’ Phillip M. Russell was then called upon and responded as follows: “To the Ladies of Thomasville, who con kindle aflame that even Neptune, with all his power cannot extinguish.” Mr. Lamotte of the Savannah Her ald, being called upon, said, “ The Press: —May its freedom never be trammeled, but may its rights and pow ers remain unimpaired, to battle in the cause of religion, liberty and law.” Champagne corks popped like skir mishers coming into action, and gen eral good feeling prevailed. Several other gentlemen, uinong them, Mr. Saucy, Maj. Delanoy, Wayne Russell, Es M. M. Va'leau, Col. P. McGlu shun and Foreman G. A. Jeffers, were called on for toasts, and all responded in sentiments favorable to Savannah; Thomasville, the old Washington, Nep tune, Woman and the able mid efficient President and Superintendent of the Atlantic & Gulf' Railroad, who gener ously passed the Fire Engine and the Savannah deputation, ovor their road free of charge. GEN. POPE AND THE PRESS- Wo were upon the point of writing a brief article upon Gen. Pope’s pro scription of the Conservative press, but our correspondent, ‘•Constitution alist,'’ has furnished us with so just and well timed a communication on the subjeot, that we accept it in pie. ferenee to an editorial, und invite our readers to its. perusal. COUNTY CONVENTION. The Tallahassee Sentinel publishes a numerously signed call for a Con vention of Leon County, of all good citizens without regard to color, for the purpose of considering Stato or ganization, and the forming of a State Constitution guaranteeing equal rights and privileges to all, without proscrib ing any. [FOR TUB SiUTIIKRN ENTIiUPRISK.] Mr. Editor :—The subject of edu cation is one of the greatest moment, and in our changed circumstances, economy in educating our sous and daughters is intrinsically connected with it. Many who onco were able to send off their sons and daughters are not now able, and yet they more car nest’y dosiro it, than ever before. Can they bo assisted ? Is there a remedy? 1 am glad to ho nblu to say there i«. Wliero is Fletcher Institute? Is it not n regularly chartered institution ? If so, why scud our sons and daugh ters to other institutions, building them up, and leave the institution at our very doors to lie m ruins for want of money to make necessary repairs and patronage to make it as good an institution as there is in the State.— Mr. Raker, the President, is a finished scholar and a perfect Christian gentle man. None who know him us a sol dier can doubt of his being worthy of all praiso. Give him the patronage and enable him to gather about him u core of assistants, sucli ns can bo found, even in our midst, and parents may reca ll their sons and daughters, for Fletcher Institute oan and will give them us thorough an education as any of the famed institutions of the Stato Forgive me, Mr. Editor, to name a name tfiut is a tower of intellectual nlnlity, Col. Rockwell, long known to this community, associated with Mr. Raker, and 1 ask no better, nor do 1 believe they can bo surpassed. Rut why write about Fletcher Institute, the male department is in ruins, t Where are the fathers who have sons and daughters to educate, that they do not arouse from their lethargy jnd put the institution in good order? Col Seward, a perfect prodigy of en ergy, Col. Alexander, Major Spencer, and Col. Mclntirc, men of sterling worth. If they but put forth their energies the work is accomplished, and we will have a College in our midst worthy of Thom .svill-3, at which our son 4 and daughters' may be educated and become as polished stones. Education. [for the southern enterprise.] TO THE MEN OF COLOR IN THOMAS COUNTY. Number 12,. This is my last number inf which I shall address jou, and I have very lit tle more to say. I have, in ray former numbers, endeavored to show you, that your highest, best and lasting in terests . consist in liring quietly at home among your own people, and shunning every foreign ingredient that may be brought in anong you to in terrupt your peace. Give not the slightest attention to foreign mission aries, for their wohle intention is to turn you over to the use and service of their masters, whethir they come to you in the character of preaohers, teachers or lecturers. They come sor 1 the purpose of beiufitting themselves, but not you. Keep aloof from all their unions, leagues and entangling alliances. Commit yourselves to none of them. Wait until you inform your selves and know something about their associations and societies. When they approacii you with fiauery and promi ses, ask them for their authority for making them, and .what is to be your security for their performance. Call for tho documents; when they give you their promises,-tell them that they amount to nothing that you can rely on. In a word, if you want to keep out of trouble, have nothing to do with their missionaries, preachers, teachers, 'lecturers or politicians ; nor their asso l ciations, unions or leagues. There is something very flattering to be retired and associated nmong yourselves, but cannot you do all this without having a sneaking Yankee among you to lead you about like a set of children ? Above all, be careful of the missiona ries and lecturers of your own oolor who come among you. They are all the tools of cunning politicians who are working the w res behind the cur tains. When they approach you tell thorn you are free men and can attend to your own business without their as sistance. Indeed these toolsjntend no assistance to you Their sole object is to lead you astray, and to turn you ovor to be used for political purposes by the Yankees. I'i/Ik Watson, a colored man living in Franklin county, in the State of Tennessee, .lately wrote as follows: “ I deem it my duty to s'ate, that I was a member of the Loyal League in this place , but after being a member for some time, and finding that it was no place for a colored man, I have withdrawn. In witlulrawing, I would appeal to my colored fellow citizens to abandon the League and let us join the great Conservative party, whose motto is universal amnesty and itn partial suffrage ” So writes Polk Wat son. While I join him with my ad vise to abandon the League, I advise you to keep away from all other asso* ciations of a similar kind until you know their exact object and meaning. You have all heard of Fred Dou glas. lie is a man of your oolor ot unusual smartness, and has labored energetically in the abolition oause be foro emancipation. What is his re ward from tlioso Yankees, Hear his own words, as delhered in a reoent speech at Portsmouth, in tho Yankee Stato of New Hampshire. His words are aa follows : “All the whito men were alike responsible for slavery and alike guilty, and tho black man’s pro tended friends among them were no better than the rest.’’ lie said he was once pulled out ot a coach in Roslon for being a black man. And these Bostonians have been at tho head of the pack, for the lust forty years, yell ing after tho white man at tho South for his bud treatment to the black man. Never connect yourself with such in tolerable hypocrites. I now leuvo you. I think I have told you enough, and given you good advice enough to keep you out of trou ble. I hope you will profit by it. 1 remain your affectionato Uncle Ren. [for the southern enterprisej GEN. POPE AND THE PRESS. Mr. Editor: —I regretted to leant from tho Ehterprpss of the 16th inst., j that Gen’l Pope had issued an order | forbidding civil offieora ot the State, i giving their advertising patronage to j those papers who honestly differ with him on the subject of Reconstruction. There is nothing in tho past history of tho man that should lead our people to hope for fair dealing—his promises to tho contrary notwithstanding. 110 is a Radical, and as such, will leave no expedient untried, looking to the interests of his party and his own ad vancement. ’1 ho Radical ship of Geor gia is leaking badly, aud he, its chief commander, must needs do something to save her crew from be tig engulfed beneath the detested waves of a well merited oblivion. lienee his order depriving those who seek to bring about reconstruction on constitutional grounds, of a portion of the means ena bling them to make lor themselves and their families a living, hoping thereby to weaken them and strengthen the Radical press of tho I feel no hesitation in saying that be will tail- • utterly and absolutely fail in Lis selfish and unjust aims. A forced patronage has never yet yield-id its possessor a sufficient sum to pay for the trouble of entering it upon his daily journal. Thf sensitive, well meaning man, when made the re cipient of such support, if ho receives it at all, does so simply because ho is forced to yield his own feelings by the same power that took it away from another: while the civil officer, enter taining the most unmitigated hatred so. - thepTeceiver of hie forced bounty, will seek to withhold it on every occa sion when it is possible for him to evado the law. But why need I talk thus ? The order is a capital good one, so far as you and your brother editors are concerned. You will lose a crumb and gain a loaf. Your many warm hearted friends should, and will no doubt givo. you “a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether! ’ Let each one of your subscribers add another name to your subscription list, and advertisers doublo their favors. This will enable you to make your “LiUting'' l equally as effectual, and I sincerely hope that when you suc ceed in ousting Pope’s bull from the “ bridge,” the fall will break every bone in his bpdy. CONSTITUTIONALIST. Educating the Freedmen—A Catechism. Being decidedly in favor of educa ting the freedmen, we propose assist ing in that work by submitting a few simple questions and answers, which for their own good they should learn : Q. Reing now free men, what is your first duty as citizens? A. To provide rneaus to support our families and to educate our chddren. Q. How do you propose to do this ? A. Ry bodily labor and by practi cing economy. Q. Is there are hindrance to your enj lying the reward of that labor ? A. Yes. Wo are almost exclusively employed in raising cotton, on which we must pay a tax of 2 12 cents a pound. Q. How much would that tax amount to if you should make four bags of cotton ? A. Fifty dollars. Q Do you have the tax to pay every year ? A. Yes. And tho harder we work and the more cotton we raise the more tax we havo to pay. Q. Do laborers in the North have to pay such tax on their daily labor ? A. No. That tax is only put on cotton, which they do not raise there. Q. What class of day laborers in the South arc chiefly engaged in culti vating cotton ? A. Freedmen, almost exclusively, so that the tax becomes a tax on the daily toil of freedmen, with few ex ceptions. Q. Who put that tax on cotton ? A. The Congress of th e United States. Q. What party was in power when that tax was imposed ? A. The Radical party and it has been ever since. Q. Does the Radical party give you anything in return for the tax you pay —such as representation in Congress ? A. No. They say Alabama is not one of the United States and has no business in Congress. Q. How is that ? If Alabama is not one of tho United States, why do they make her pay taxes to the Uni ted States ? A. That’s a hard question, and wo can’t answer it. Q. Do they not give you some of fices that pay well ? A. They say black men should not run for office. Q. Do you say, then, that the Radi cals who make you nay that heavy tax, give you nothing for it ? A. Well, tho/s«y they set us free, and that we oan now get pay for what we do. Q. Rut arc you free when you are made to pay them a large part of what you earn, just as you did to your old master, when you hired your time? A. It don’t look so; bcoauso then master supported our families, and now we must support them ourselves, and pay money besides. Q Rut lias thr*. Radical party that requires this tax, not given you any thing else ? A. Yes. They let us vote. Q. Rut, if they wont let you vote for your own peoplo and elect them to offioo, what good doos your vote do ? A. Well, wc don’t know how that is. Q. Don’t it look li'<c paying a big price for the privilege of keeping men in office who take from you your own money ? A. It docs look so. Q. What could you do with that fif ty dollars, if you hud cot to pay it over in taxes ? A. Wfwi-uld buy somo good clothes for our families, or pay for schooling our children, or by saving it a few years, buy a little farm ot our own. Q. Do you not think, then, that it is very foolish to hi long tea party and keep it in power, that makes you pay so much for nothing, when you might put it to such good use ? A. It does look so, and we’ll think about it before wo vote. —Livingston Journal, WAR ON THE BOYS. Gen.
