The Augusta Chronicle .J’ Sentinel, says it
is now too late to hold State Conventions
for the appointment of Delegates to the j
National Convention, to be held at Phila
delphia, ea the 14th of August, and sug- ‘
gests that Conveniions for this purpose be
held in the several Congressional Districts
instead. We think the suggestion a good [
one, and hope it will be acted upen. But j
t rhere will the Convention be held in the
First District? Savannah is at one ex*
treme of the District and Thomasville at
the other. Shall we send Delegates to r
Savannah, or Will Savannah send Delegates
to us ? Perhaps an intermediate point
would be more convenient, and we take the
liberty to suggest Blackshear, No. 8, A. &
G. Rail Road, as the most suitable. It also ]
seems to us, that the first Tuesday in Au- f
gust would be an appropriate and eonve- j
nient time for. holding the Convention in
this District, If others entertain different ‘
views, we will be glad to hear from them
on the subject.

*’ The Richmond papers notice the fact,
and ask the reason why, that hundreds of
young negro men. with arms, arc drilled
nightly ou the common near that eitv.
This military preparation for something
which does not appear, has been going on
for some months past, and the Time* very
properly demands that the military autho
rities either expose the object to the publie
or break up the practice. White people,
it truthfully alleges, would not be allowed
that privilege in the existing condition of
the country.”
The above reminds us, that on Saturday
night last, the Marshal of Thomasville,
found a company of about twenty
men drilling on the outskirts of the town
at midnight. He was attracted to the spot
by hearing commands given, and upon de
manding to kuow the object, no answer was
returned, but the Squad dispersed. There
must be some object in this midnight drill
ing and it should be investigated. We
hear it reported that one white man at least,
has advised the negroes in a public ad
dress, to form companies, ivc. If this be
true, that white man is no friend to the
community, and should be handled with
out delay. Any white man who would
thus provoke jealousy, enmity and strife,
between the two races, is an enemy to the
negro, a traitor to his oicn race, and a dou
ble-dyed villian in t he eyes of all mankind.
No community should tolerate such, and if
found among us, we should teach them
that Southern white people have not forgot
ten how, nor do they fear to protect them
selves against insult.
fI'FFEE AXD THE C’OTTOX TAX
A colored man named Jacob, formerly
the property of Mr. David Harrell, of this
County, planted and lately had in a pros
perous condition two acres of Cotton. Cof
fee promised himself much profit iu the fall
when his cotton should go into the market,
and looked with pride every day upon his
increasing prospect of wealth. ‘ But alas!
Some of his friends told him of the tax on
Cotton recently passed by Congress, and
when ft was explained to him, so indig
nant did he become, that he immediately
threw down the fencing and turned in the
stock to devour his crop. Cuffee thinks
Cotton planters the most ill used of men.
If the white men of the South would follow
his example for one season only , Congress
would return to its senses.

was saved in the burning of 2000 houses,
in the wealthiest and most business part of
the city. So complete was the destruction,
that the homeless people could with diffi

MISS BARBER’S WEEKLY.
We have received several copies of this
beautiful literary journal, published at
Newnan, Ga . and cheerfully recommend it
to our readers as being in everv way wor
thy of their patronage. The subscription
price is only $3.00 a year. Miss Barber
has certainly succeeded in getting up a real
neat paper, and the variety and excellence
of the composition it carries weekly to her
patrons, entitles her to as great success in
a financial print of vkw. * To the young
ladies, we would especially recommend it,
because it seems to us to contain and sup
port that character of literature mest ad
mired and patronized by them.
CKAXGE OF NAME.
Brother Russell of the Chart and Com
pass has changed the name of his paper,
and Chart and Compass, no longer guides
the tempest tossed mariner to the haven
of his des iny; but gives way to “Ar/ia”
with his hundred eyes. Bainhridge Arg<xs,
is thjrefore to be the future name of the
paper, and its old patrons will recognize it
under this head.
X.ATIOV.AE tOVVEVTIOV.
By reference to an article published else
where, it will be seen that the Conserva
tives have issued a call for a great National
Convention, to be held in the city of Phila
delphia, on the 14th day of August next.
It is proposed that all the States North and
South be represented, and that each Con
gressional District be entitled to two Dele
gate®, and each State at large to four.
Those who assumed authority to call this
Convention, believed they were actuated
by motives of patriotism, and an earnest
desire to sustain the present Administra
tion and preserve the Union. That such
was their laudable motive we have no
doubt, but that such a convention would or
could bring about a result so devoutly to
be wished for. is in our mind, exceeding'y
doubtful. Nevertheless, a Convention has
been called, and we find ourselves in one
] of the Congressional Districts to be repre
question arises, shall we
be represented? If so, who shall be our
representatives? If we do send delegates,
let us send the ablest men in our District.
. Once more they are to stand face to fact
with, the men of the North—not in Con
gress, it is true, but in a scarcely less im
portant and dignified position. They will
be called.upon in debate to express their
. views, and the views of the Southern peo
ple—let us be careful then, that we send
men. who can and will express the views
of the Southern people. . We want no po
litical trickster to play at Philadelphia a
game of chess for future loaves and fishes.
We want no milk-and-water politician,
afraid to tell the North he was a seces
sionist, and the South he was a Unionist.
But above all, we want” none of those zeal
ous Union men whose constant-loyalty was
•not discovered until after the war, and they
found themselves and their property in
the power of Union men.. None of these
eould represent the Southern people; but
our representatives, should be from that
class who gave strength and character to
the Confederacy, whatever may have been
their views before the war, and who are to-
I day the same bold, bur frank and honest
patriots, who did all that, honor required
for their country, but'failing in their-cause,
submitted to fo'es they could not overcome,
not to be fawning slaves, but honorable pri
soners of war. If they have ‘been par
doned, that was generosity in their foes
. and entitled to respect; but .they had no
right to exact a change in our opinions.
We gave up our causo, cur properly, our
all in the Government—what’ more ? Ouf
| opinions are inalienahle. We may venture.
to hold them sacred—by rights acquired,
: by victories achieved in. the blood of mil
lions of the human race. If then they in
vite us to honorable debate, we must con
sider that the shackles are stricken from
■ our bauds and the bar removed from our
speech. If they invite us to confer with
them upou the best mode of restoring and
making permanent the liberties of the
j country to which we belong, we enter the
. conference as their equals, and as honora
-1 ble men can make no pledge to settled pol
icy or principles previously established,
: without our consent. If we are to be re
. presented, let these be the landmarks of
our representatives, and the voice of the
; South will be understood.

The following from the Savannah Herald
by a correspondent in Camden County
Georgia, signing himself “P,” settles the
question as to whether the Dr. Eaton re
cently killed in that county, by negroes,
was the same Dr. R. H. Eaton who left
Thomasville with his Sister-in-law Mrs.
Christiana Eaton, a few months ago to set
tle in Jacksonville, Fla.
<• “
A daring and most brutal murder
was committed ip this
the night of the 20th inst, by a
gang of negroes, on the person of Dr.
R. H. Eaton. The circumstances are
as follows ; The day before the Doc
tor had caused a negro to be arrested
by the Sheriff of the county, urder a
warrant for malicious mischief, and
lodged in jail. About eight o’clok in
the evening, or just after dark, while
the Doctor was standing on his piazza
with another man, a negro came up
and called him out, saying that he
wished to speak to him on some busi
ness. Not suspecting any treachery,
the Doctor-walked a few steps with
the negro, . wh.en another negro was
dieovered cencealed behind an out
. house-- The latter negro, as’ soon as
he was'foun-d oat, started to run! The
Doctor pursued - him, and ran up to a
“ana: supposed to be about ten in nuro
. ber. The negroes fired twice at Dr.
E. four buck shot Jtaking'eflect. Two
pie r ced his.bowels, one his groin and
oris? went through his arm. He lin
gered in great pain until .about one
o’clock P. M\ the next day-, when he
di-ed. - None of the negroes hav-e been
arrested, gome apprehension is felt
here for the safety of the white popu
lation. The negroes are largely in “the
.majority, are well-armed and very de
fiant, . Yours, • P.

We copy the following military or
der in reference to Frecdmcn, ior the
benefit of the military authorities in
Georgia, and also that the world may
see how far they maybe relied upon
as free laborers. If this order.had
been issued and’ enforced throughout
the South about two months ago, there
would have been very little suffering
among the people, white or black ; but
it is now too late to benefit’ the farm
ing interests. The crops now, are
either made o-r lost, and we regret to
say, especiallr the corn crops, will come
under the latter head. From the best
information we have from all parts of
this section, there will not be more than
one-fourth of a corn crop made. It
is scarcely necessary to say that this
is the result of free labor, or that the
freed laborers, will suffer for their va
grancy. Seme of the military officers•
arc getting their eyes open as to how
far Frecdmcn may be relied upon as
laborers, and the whole truth will come

General Orders, )
No. 9. f
I. The Brevet Major General Com
manding has noticed, with deep regret
the disposition on the part of freedmen
S in the vicinity of Charleston and alon”
the coast to disregard their agreements
on plantations to the neglect of the
i crops, and to either lay idling about
! their houses, roam at large over the
; country, or congregate in Charleston
and other towns. This total disregard
of all obligations to keep their con
tracts in good faith will cause an en
. tire failure of crops in the State, and
the result must be destitution and
starvation. The increasing amount of
theft, drunkenness and vagrancy de
mands that the most prompt and se
vere measures be taken by all officers
to check the evil.
IT. It is ordered that the men or
Women who leave the plantation on
which they are employed to labor,
either by the month, for share of the
crops or as renters of land, and thereby
neglect their growing crops, be at once
arrested as vagrants and put to. work
on the public roads, as provided by
Paragraph XU, General Order Xo. 1,
Headquarters Department of South
Carolina.
All planters who have freedmen
employed on their plantations who do
not, at this important season of the
year, give their entire time to the
growing crops, arc authorized, if after
reading this order to them and they
neglect or refuse to obey it, to report
them at once to the officer in command
of the district, who will cause them to
be taken from the plantation as vagran's
and put to work on the public roads
Their children, if any, will be bound
to such persons as will take care of
them and learn them habits of indus
try.
111. A prison will be established for
all persons of color convicted of such
crimes as are not punishable by death I
on one of the islands, where employ
ment can be furnished, and all convicts
will be compelled to labor from sunrise
until sunset, under the control of such
guards as will insure their safety. Any
person convicted of selling spirituous
liquors to a freed man, without a per
mit from some officer having control
will be fined in any sum not less than
twenty-five dollars ($25) nor more
than one hundred dollars ($100) for
every offence of which he may be con
victed.
IV . Commanding officers will have
this order read in the several colored
churches in their vicinity, in order that
it may become generally understood.

What James Stephens- (ntmtls t da.
At a gfoat Fenian meeting held iu’
Jones’ Wood, near New York city,’on
the 24th of June, Mr.. Stephens, C. O.
I. R. made a long speech, in which he
declared his purpose, soon, to return
to Ireland and raise there the standard
opposition to’ the British power. He
said : “A great Change will come over
our affairs within a year. . Still the
work shall go on ; and after a certain
time—-but I won’t tell you what “time,
because I do pot’ mean to stay on the
safe side ot ‘the line—but’ after a cer
tain period, some time this year, I shall
go to Ireland, and then you may ex
pect to see the uprising of our race.—•
But whatever the work you do here,
or whatever the aid you give us, I ask
you to get it to the men in Ireland
soon. Are you satisfied, to work ?
Are you satisfied to. fight? (Loud
voices—yes !) Then in the name of
God let the sunburst be - raised again,
and let us smite the foe of our race.”
Mr. Stephens advised his country
men against atiemps to violate the
neutrality laws of the United State's,
and treated with scorn the effort to
make the Fenian organization a patty
machine for the advantage of factions
in this country.
