Wo regret that we were- not in place on
Saturday last,.to welcome our cotemporary
of tho Hainbridge Southern (Icoryian, Dr.
W. H. Hooker, -on his hasty visit to our
sanctum. Tho next time he gets oft’ on a
“ tramp,” he must allow himself more time,
■ and pay us another visit, that wc may show
him mound our flourishing little town, and
give him an opportunity among our citi
zens of extending tho circulation of his
. spirited paper.
THE CUOPM.
The weather has been so fine in this lo
cality for cropping, that wc had supposed
no person con hi do otherwise than make a
.good crop; but we are sorry to hear from
all quarters, since the late rains, that, not
only nro many of the plantations in had
condition and unpromising, but that some
of them arc literally taken by tho grass and
beyond redemption. One farmer assured
us a few days ugo, that he had lately trav
eled eighteen miles south of Thotnasville,
on the Magnolia road, and ns far ns Mic
■ oosukic bake in Florida, and that, on the
entire route through that fertile and popu
lous region, he saw but three farms it was
possible to save, so badly were they stocked
with grass. How far his judgment erred,
we are not able to say, but the complaints
from other sections strengthen his state
ment, and we have abundant reason to fear,
that between the recent heavy rains and
the unsteadiness of free labor, not only
will the Colton crop prove a failure, but
tlie provision crop fall so short as to pro
duce great suffering next year. Wc sin
cerely hope tilings are not as bad as stated,
and the season nqt being out. that many
of tho farmers will yet overcome the grass,
and plant more corn. They may still do
this with perfect safety, aud it would be
better for the country.

A BIOT.
• A riot occurred in town last night, of
Which we have not learned all the particu
lars ; but sufficient to state, that several ne
gro women were arrested by the. Sheriff for
stealing hogs, when a large body of negro
men, armed with muskets or other fire
arms, came to the rescue, and compelled
him to desist. Meantime tho Marshal
was informed of the proceedings, and re
pairing immediately to the spot, brought off
the women to prison. Before his arrival,
it seems that the Sheriff, had been forced
by the armed mob of negroes, before the
Agent of the Freediuen's Bureau, to give
an account of his conduct. The decision
of that officer, perhaps, dispersed the armed
rioters, for when the Marshal arrived they
made no farther demonstration. Wc do
not pretend to be entirely correct in this
statement, but give it as we received it.
The fact of the riot is correct, and the
prompt appearance of so many armed ne
groes on the stpot, gives sanction to the in
ference that they are regularly organized
for resistance to the officers of the law.
This ought to he inquired into, and if
found true, put down at all hazards. Such
a state of affairs will ere long prove un
wholesome to our community.

CHEAT UIOT IN tIENPIIIN.
A great riot has just occurred in Mem
phis. Tenn.. between the whites and ne
groes. in which fifteen negroes were killed
and three white men, and several wounded
on both sides. The entire population of
the city is represented as being in tho
greatest excitement and another conflict
immincut.
The difficulty commenced by an affray
between a white boy and a negro man,
about locking the wheels of their vehicles
iu passing each other, when the police in
terfered, vrhich brought a large crowd of
negroes. This again brought an excited
crowd of white men to the spot, and the
disturbance thus increased until tho whole
population became enraged. The military
refused to interfere when applied to by the
isheriff, and thrown upon their own re
sources, the police and citizens, headed by
the Sheriff, armed themselves and put
down the rioters after a severe conflict,
yhicit resulted as above.
Such occurrences are deeply to be re
gretted, for who does not sec the beginning
here, of that conflict which will result in
the destruction of that mi-guided and un
fortunate race. Every wherein the South,
Northern emissaries are at work getting
up secret societies among the negroe. and
teaching them that the Southern white
men are their enemies. They seem deter
mined on the total destructi nos the Mack
race in America
HIM. CBOHOIA BATiri'f
The Radical reconstructionists have at
last published what we may call their ulti
matum. They have magnanimously con
cluded that if the South will acknowledge
themselves traitors, entitled to no political
privileges, and endorse the Radical base
ness and rascality, as exhibited in their
amendments to the Constitution, that then
she may come back again into the Union,
and each State shall graciously be enti
tled to assume the payment of her public
debt, and they, the Radicals, will credit
them on said debt, for a term of not more
than ten years. Wonderful magnanimity!
And do they really suppose the South will
ratify their infamous acts of oppression,
and thank the Northern traitors for their
aggressions upon the rights of the States!
It so, they are most egregiously mistaken,
or we are one. The South is now thor
oughly Union, and devoted to ‘‘States’
rights,” whatever may be said to the con
trary, and the time is coming when the
South will hang some of these very North
ern traitors for attempting to destroy the
government they now profess to be trying
to perpetuate. When the war broke out,
the North said it was the South who was
trying to break tip the Union and destroy
the government; but now the tables have
turned, and it is the North breaking up
the Union and destroying the government.
Are Northern traitors any better than
Southern traitors ? We shall see. Mr. Ste
phens knew the hearts of the people of
Georgia, when he gave, as his opinion, be
fore the Committee, that Georgia would
not ratify their unconstitutional measures,
and wo believe the people of Georgia and
the South will risk the direst consequences
of a refusal, rather than give up their
honor, and content to the chains forged by
the Northern traitors to the Constitution.
COUNTY COLORED CONVENTION
* The sable population of this County have
for some time been exercised on the sub
ject of an election to be held by them, for
the purpose of sending a delegate to the
State Colored Convention, to be held at
Augusta. They met in Convention under
a grove in the suburbs of the town, on
Monday night host, and after some ha
rangues and wordy altercations, elected A
colored man, by the name of Wade, to re
present them. There were two candidates,
the other being Giles Price, a well known
blacksmith, who can read and write. The
successful candidate, we understand, also
possesses these splendid accomplishments,
and both understood that they were con
testing a scat in Congress. The friends of
the candidates done a good deal of elec
tioneering. and debated warmly their sev
eral qualifications for the office. The op
ponents of Giles Price declared him ineli
gible, from the fact, that he “aided and
abetted the Rebels,” in giving voluntarily
of his own free will and accord, SIOO for
arming and equipipg a company raised in
this county and sent to tho Rebel army.
Therefore, “he could’nt take tho test oath,”
and it was useless to elect him. Giles
Price was accordingly defeated.
On Tuesday morning after the election
we chanced to meet, on the sidewalk, the
“ Hon. Mr. Wade,” member elect from
Thomas, and who, by the waj, claims to
be a Minister of the Gospel and School
Teacher, and wo asked him the object of
nis mission to Washington, lie very sagely
and politically hinted that ‘.‘we” were
taxed without representation. lie meant
to have this corrected ; and with a wink of
h.is eye and hunch of the shoulder, he took
a position argumentatively; and began, in
politician style, to enlighten our benighted
brain on the subject of the “ rights of the ‘
people,” the “consent of the governed,”
■Scc., to have a “ hitch ” on the law making
powers, so that they can “pull back ” when
the law gets too hard for them.
We suppose tho Hon. member had plenty
of money, as every voter was required
to pay one dollar before voting, to pay the
expenses of the delegate on his mission.
Wo learn, however, that the Hon. gemrnon’s
seat is to be contested.. The friends of
Giles Price declare they will not submit to
tho late election, because the voting was
done by the “town people” alone, and
the County was not represented.

THE MIIETM 1,1 Bit ARY,
Through the courtesy of our old friend.
Col. IV. W. Paine, during our reccrft visit
to Savannah, we had the pleasure of visit
ing the justly celebrated Sniets Library of
that city. To say that our visit was satis
factory would not be true, for who could
be satisfied with a few hours visit to an
immense library of rich and rare volumes,
it had cost a life time and fortune to ac
quire? On the contrary, such a visit is well
calculated to give dissatisfaction, because
there, we have presented to us a striking
and overwhelming comparison of t he bound
less extent of knowledge, and the utter
littleness of our own minds and incapacity
to grasp it. We are really humbled by the
presence of this vast collection of human
thought, and our own insignificance springs
uppermost in our minds, as we wander at
tentively from volume to volume, system
atically arranged on shelves, with theiqi
titles towards us, looking like so many
faces representing iu a modern convention
the dead ages of the past. And they seem
almost to speak, as our eyes fall upon some
old and familiar acquaintance, and memory
flashes for a moment, his or her peculiar
merits before us. Then again wc behold
the ponderous volumes with whose con
tents avc are, perhaps, wholly unacquainted,
and long rows of massive books still stretch
out before us, until, wearied, the mind
turns away in despair and weeps in bitter
ness over the shortness of human life
which enables us to take.but one sip at wis
dow’s overflowing enp, and then sink into
the obscurity of tho grave. It is at this
poiut that man is made to feel how much
there is to learn, and how little lie may ap
propriate to himself. A world renowned
philosopher has better expressed it in the
remark, that notwithstanding the life long
devotion of his exalted genius to the prin
ciples of science, ‘‘Ac had only picked up a
few pebbles on the shores of time.” Thus it
is with man—the utmost he may gain of
knowledge, but opens his eyes to see him
self a groveling worm upon that “ shore ”
the great ocean beyond, to him, is unex
plored—nor can he enter it but through
the grave, where his fiuite reasoning ends.
But to return.
Wc think the Smets Library one of the
best collections of books in the United
States, and contains, perhaps, more valua
ble antiquities and curiosities of literature.
The number of volumes is not so great by
several thousands as some other American
libraries; but we venture to say, that no
other of the same extent equals it in selec
tion. Mr. Smbts, a gentleman of high lit
erary attainments, and having access to
the courts, cloisters ami libraries of Europe,
spent his whole life and fortune, in amass
ing this collection of books, and he suc
ceeded in procuring books, manuscripts,
autographs and paintings of the great mas
ters of almost every century in the last two
thousand year*. Hut for more particular
information on this point, we refer the
reader to the catalogue of the library,
which will folly repay him for the reading
The Bmets Library is now nffprrd for sale
by the heirs of it author, nml for the
credit of Southern Literature, wo trust it
may be purchased and perpetuated in the
South by some liberal person nr corpora
tion, who will permit it to remain a literary
monument to the name of its founder

THE FE.\ll>S.
We he.ir a report going about that the 1
Fenian fleet which left New York so mys- I
j teriou3ly some time ago, has been captured :
Iby a British fleet. Whether this report j
contains any truth or not we will not un
dertake to say ; but this much we will ven- j
lure, that if the British fleet has not yet !
captured that of the Fenians, it mil do it
sooner or later, if the latter continues at !
sea. The Fenians, if they intended any
thing at all, went off half cocked, and
Great Britain is in about as much danger
from them as Japan is from Hayti. They
■ may suceecd in frightening the Canadas,
‘ and even in producing a great disturbance
| there; but unless they can involve the
United States in the war, their whole ex
pedition is a grand fizzle and they know it.
That they will succeed in involving the
United States in such a war, no sensible
man believes. The demonstration now
being made is for the purpose of framing
an excuse for the disappearance of the
enormous sums of money they obtained
from the credulous, and ere long their de
luded followers will realize the truth and
have their eyes opened.

Northern Emissaries at the South.
—A writer in the Boston Post speaking
of some of tne No/thern fauatics in our
midst, says:
The emissaries from the North are encour
aging t'*e negroes to form secret associa
tions, and to make public parades, demon
strations and celebrations—and in Rich
mond they are often overhearing and in
sulting to the whites, which provokes re
taliation and riots. General Terry says
there is now probably over a hundred of j
these semi-secret organizations among the
blacks in Richmond, and the names they
assume are often ludicrous and blasphe
mous, one being styled the “Holy Sons of
God.” The whres are patient and forbear
ing, except, pediaps, a few drunken row
dies, but it is easy to see that a conflict of
a serious character is in embryo. Serious
reflecting men, shudder at the future of
the black race, if they are to be backed up
and encouraged by the Government. It is
generally believed by the most prominent
men of the South that the war has already
reduced the negro population one-third.—r

The Eternity of Punishment
Disowned by English Church-
StE.v. —ln addition to the sermon lately,
preached at Chapel Royal, by Rev-
Charles Kingsbury, several other cler
gymen of the Church of England have
published their disbelief in the eternal
punishment of the wicked. The Lon
don Patriot says:.
“Mr. E. Litton, M. A., the Rev.
Thomas Davis, M. A., incumbent of
Roundhay, und the Rev. John Darton,
M. A , curate of Rivcnhall, Essex, all
contend that the natural immortality of
the soul cannot be established eit her by
reason or Scripture—that eternal life
is conferred by Cod through Christ
upon the redeemed, and that the wick
ed are destined literally to p Irish. We
have heard, though we are somewhat
doubtful of tkeauthority, that Mr. Dar
ton has been called to account for his
book by the Bishop of Rochester; hut
after the decision in the Wilson case,
it is not likely that either he or any of
those who think and w.ritc -as he does,
will 1/e hindered from promulgating his
views.”- •'. • . . ‘
