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. ~ 11 - —- 1 -• • ■ ■ ... i.i—i 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. - ‘ - --4 • —— 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. —, ‘ -4 • ►- *- —— 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 0 4 -—■ HaTßead the Tax t-ollerior's notice in tb° fourth column of (his page 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.

The fact that his ministerial brethren clio3e him bishop on the first ballot, shows their high esti mate of his character and abilities. - 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 ’ Washington Corr. Boston Vast- - - 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.”- •'. • . . ‘ Sl’Kl ‘I AL NO Fit'LS. • fifeS"To-day vve had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Thomas,, of the enterprising, go ahead firm -ol’ A.
