In this place • we will mention al j o the firm of Messrs. Ainsworth & Sanford, at R. R.

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. ** FOB VVSIVTf *’ 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. TERRIBLE COX FI, AO RATIO.>’ ! Portland in Maine has been destroyed. On the 4th instant, fire broke out in* the city and baffled every effort to subdue it. Even the very fire engines were destroyed, so rapid was the conflagration. Nearly every business house in the city was de stroyed with all their contents. Nothing 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 culty tell where their houses had stood. The loss has been roughly estimated at Aid and comfort have been sent to the destitute in the way of tents and provisions, from Boston and other places. —■ 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. [fO R the southern enterprise.] ■ Mr. Editor: —The proposed National i I Convention, to assemble at Philadelphia, j oil the 11-th of August next, is an event en • ■ titled to some attention from the Southern people.

Let us aid good men every where, in their efforts to restore peace, harmony and prosperity , to the country, and save its liberties by , ejecting from the capitol of the nation, (for it is now a nation) the herd of unscrupu . ] lous tyrants who infest and disgrace it.

Taylor reported the arrival of the lime sent for by Council, to be used for the general health of the town; and the price of the same was fixed at fifty cents per peck His Honor the Mayor was requested to notify the citizens thereof, and how and where it may be obtained. Aid.

Washington, July 6 —Mr. Fessen den, in the Senate to-day, reported the Tax Bill as agreed upon by the Con ference Committee. The icport gave i rise to considerable debate, especially the item fiising the taxon cotton at three cents per pound. The Commit- i tee of both Houses agreed to tax cot. ton three cents, and having agreed on minor amendments the bill noW goes to I the x resident Price for Sma/l TUor/t.

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.

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 out next full when the harvest.time is over, and when the Government has onc'-balf their number to feed,, to pre vent starvation.—£Ed.

(• j Charleston, S. C., June 29, 1866. } 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. By command of Brevet Maj-Gcn. R. K. Scott H. W.
