Savannah, Ga, May 2S, 186 G
Mr. Editor It you read all the
‘estimates arid theories concerning the
cotton crop, now being published, you
will probably be as wise at the conclu
sion as when you began to read; tor
different Writers give the statisDcs an
the very best of inferences for thtee
million bales, two million, oil? and a
half, <Scc., and it l should undertake
the j ib, I should be lost in a labyrinth
of figures. In conversation wi:h plan
ters who come to Savannah to market,
and in a recent tour to southwestern
Georgia and thence through the State
of Florida, I have been forcibly -truck
by one peculiarity Every nan says
h:s' freeduinn arc doirg very Well, much
better than he expected, &3., and
that he will have a “right smart chance
of a crop/’ but in the next county, lie
■.understands, they are jery lazy, and
there will be scarcely any c'.rfln raised.
I do not remember a single exception
to this rule among al I have conversed
with, and 1 made it a point to ask
every man I met. I think it a lair
inference that r uffy is doing well, and
disproving the theory so popular con
cerning his worse condition since be
ing made a ritizen Four c.rops are
the result, in ma-y localities, of plan
ting seed which has lain in the cotton,
ungiuned, since the crop of 1860,
i lie cotton gradually absorbs the oil
‘rom the seed, and though tits Seed
may germinate, the young plant soon
dies for want ot th- t stimulating-oil.
This theory seems very plausible, and
facts from scores of plantations .are
proving,it. The owners, after plan
ting twice w'th cotton seed, have gone
over the ground a third time and put
in corn.
Though the er<'ps of cotton promise,
very poorly in the localities. I have
v s.ted, there seems to be an abundant,
harvest of rtb<ls- —such a crop ,as
wotlbl gladden the heart of the vilest
copperhead I know in Lynn. After
the surrender, the government might
have procecd‘‘d wi’h any measures,
and th f would have fe't thankrul if
only their lives were spared, fir they
felt whipped, and guilty ; but now
there is not a right of a loyal man
they do not claim for themselves, and’
h ive no favors to. ask.
The leniency of the government in
pouncing upon the poor tool VYirtz,
and choking him to.death, and then
advertis ng pardons bv the wholesile
for t very scamp who-eould be induced
to accept one, is now bringing iorth its
legitimate-fruits. Every loyal State
and section is now blamed for all the
trouble of the past bloody years The
radicals arc the only nutional sinners,
and Ought to be, bung, after being
and -awn and quartered. -Massachusetts
they regard (if we believe their words)
as the vilest -sink of iniquity. One
rampag-ious rebel declared to me. down
in Florid i, that he would .willingly
work a year for nothing, and boa and
himself; to wheil Massachusetts out
into the-ocean, and dump her beneath
the waves, so that riot a.stick nor stone
should be left .within her present boun
daries. This sentiment was applaud
ed by the dozen rebels present, while
1, poor Y;nk, alore had to enter my
protest against- such a wheelbarrow
excursion.
The rebs seem to be agreed that
slavery has‘-.gone up;’'tiiey have no
hopes of its revival. But. if they had.
only the President to deal with, they
would not give up so, by any means
A thiid power comes in for a hearing
on that point-— ’ uffy himself, to say
nothing rf.Congress and the North.- -
On reconstruction they a e not agtecd,.
most of them seeing no necessity for it,,
only to admit to Con. ress such rebels
as they choose to send.
The idea of the political equality of
the 1 egro is most galling. They call
it ‘‘putting the nig. er over then),’’ and
many declare they would rather fight
four years more than.subniit to such a
thing I tell them it would be a fair
race, ana no unprejudiced person can
object wit hout confessing his own infe
riority. If the negro’s ability will
allow him to lead, then lie ought to,-
and the inferior race, whatever ip
color, fall in thG rear. If the brains
of the poor white trash cannot Pad.,
they must take the back seats.
Th s is a speech I heard an inteli
gent white man (not ‘-Jeff. Davis’
coachman”; deliver in the Southern
corner of this State : “I tell yer what
’tis, boys, es Congris pisses that bill
ov< r the President - veto, he'll jes take
Congris and lock ’em urn The Con
stitution gives him the right to, any
time they pass an unconstitutional
thing, and Andy's jes’ the boy to do it,
too. Hell straighten ’em out, and
give the radicals hell, for he’s got the
army with him. and he's commander”
Only one man in all the crowd express
ed a d’ übt as to the power or disposi
tion of ‘ Andy’’ on the subject, arid all
thought it shuuld be done at once.
I can add my testimony, most em
phatically that th> se who laud the
Pusident to the skies, are the bitter
est rebels, and say they are only over
powered—that the next election will
show where they stand, &c They
praise Andy, and damn Congress.—
Tliomasville, Georgia, ’Wednesday,: - July 25,1866.
They exalt the veto pow r to heaven,
and consign to the warmest regions
Charles Sumner and the Bay State.
And why? Simply becau-e the form
er are friends of treason and rebellion
and the latter of loyalty and patriot
ism.
The press of this whole region, with
only here, and there an exception, is
doing all it can to foster and keep alive
ihe enmity to the general government,
except in the pardon and patronage
departments Better the States should
be as was. once boasted of that heathen
ish corner of Eastern Virginia, when
it# representative exulted that there
was not a newspaper published in all
the region; for’ certainly ignorance o-f
such teachings would ie bliss indeed.
The inperfect mail facilities keep.many
who can read in utter ignorance of
what is going on ia the country. • A
man from South Carolina was in town
a few days ago, and asked, me the la
test news—what Congress was g< ing to
do with the President ? lie said the
latest he knew was .that Congress had
impeached him, and he expected they
would hang him. Ig ve him a bun
dle ol good Republican papers, and I
presume when he peruses them he will
think that the eountry is ruined
surely. .
A companion from the same State
expressed his heartfelt pity for the
devil, saying that “when all the Yan
kees get to. hell they, will just turn
him out, sure.’’ They have little idea
what a live lank is--only that.he is
something awfupy wicked, and. they
are very sorry they can’t ■ suppress
him. . - • .• .•
A man in Florida capped the cli
max for ignorance, the other day, when
he came into . Lake City from the
woods lie had just heard someone
speak of Lee’s surrender, but Coul 1
not be made to believe itT “No,” said
he; “I hearn tell, a right smart spell’
ago, that the Yanks had got Rich
mond, but as for old Bob Lee’s surren
dering, he hairit dine no such-thing;
He haint the boy for that, for I’ve
been in his army once myself, and I
know him ; he won’t do it/’
i hese are the foul-mouthed patriots
who rave at the test oath, and. curse.
Massachusetts, lor her loyalty; who.
reproach her for having a common.
school system, and boast that they,
never had any; who don’t seeiii to
know th .1 anything has happened -for
the past four years, except the. fact
that they have lost’ some cotton; and
have .to work themselves and. pa'y .for ‘
the labor ol a blackmail. They are an
abused people, and the radicals . of
Massachusetts have a Tearful load of,
sin to answer sos in plunging the na
tion in war. .
It seems as though this generation
must pass away.before the right state
of feeding will prevail! Better a cen
tury, than that the governmet t should
now yield to the demands, of men
whose hands are dripping with blood
from loyal hearts. Let ‘ ongress see
that the President’s words shall be
proved true in spite of himself, name
ly, that “treason is a crime.”
But neither your space or your
readers patience will find room lor
more.
Yours truly, .

The Design* of the liadieals—Speech
of Wendell Phillips.
It has been said that Wendell Phil
lips is not only the riiost, brilliant prafor
in the Radipul party,’ but has more.
I rains than all the rest of it- leaders,
and that what he-advocates to-day his
party will advocate within twelve
months. He is at. any rate a candid,
nutsp’ ken fanatic, and never leave's
his hearers in doubt as to bis .princi
ples or purposes. On the 4th of J uly
he nade: .one of his. characteristic
speeches in Boston, following two ne
gro orators. lie commenced thus :'.
‘“This is the 4th da of July; the •
day which for ninety years the nation
has devoted to the sublime idea that
all men arc created equal; but we all
know.that these words have, been for
nearly ninety years a glittering gener
ality and’ cruel lie— : empty arid idle
words, coming from hypocritical lips.”
Then lollowed this dogmatic a-sser-.
tion : • . ‘ • ■
“N'o man was ever born so weak
.that he and and not know better how to
protect his own enterests than anothe-r
could pr> tect them for him.’’
This would be’ a fine world if.this
latter statement were true. \\ e .know
not only many negroes but a few whites
who would be better off if they had
someone to “protect their interests ”•
But this by the way. Let us come to
his political outgivings And, first,
here is his present platform and the
prospective platform of the Radicals :
“Admit no State for the present,
hold it under the sword till its high
ways are sale to Northern travellers
and its marts ot Business safe for
Northern capital. Admit no rebel
Btate, even then, till the land, educa
tion, and the ballot, under the sanctity
ol the Federal authority, are the secure
inheritance of every man born on its
soil.” [Applause]
He advocates this platform because,
so he says, the land and the ballot box
control every eountry, especially the
land, which also controls the ballot
box. Hear him :
“Men and influences pass away;
but there are certain things and cer
tain great elements whose influences ‘
you can calculate as the astronomer j
calculates-the motion.of a star. Fan 1, j
capital,.and the ballot are things its ]
durably as tlie- nbrth star.,, and their
i iflyence* arc just as calculable as the j
imon. My advice therefore, is, trust [
men no-longer; trust ca-pital trust the j
ballot, trust land, trust Knowledge, hut.
never trust men..’ Tell’ me not vhat-
Ahck Stephens, tell me pot what
Roger I’rvot believe ; tell me. not what.
GwV. Aiken has been whipped into.
1 <io no-t case a jot for it. I want the
laud of South Carolina upon my side;’
1 want the ballot'boy of South. Caroli
na upon my. side, and. its capital upon’
my side; l want the same elements of
trust an t confidence to make the South
the same image we have’ made the
West. •’ *: * ■•’ ■ ; •
/•I am apprehensive! not of the abso
lute future, for 1. believe in God and .
justice;- hut my apprehension covers
. the next dozen or sixteen years, that
cover an epoch in which the still pow
erful white race of the Sou* h will strive
to regain possession or the State- Govi
eminent machinery, anil to weild it
against the possibility •of national
peac\ My apprehension is with re
gard to State sovereignty, still strong
enough to commit treason. I would
cut down State sovereignty, by con
gressional act or constitutional amend
uie.'it, so much as to allow the Federal
Government to arrange po'itical riel its
and to p.ioiect the eivd privileges of its
citizen’s within the several States
My apprehension extends to that race
to whom wo are bound by such ties of
gratitude, and who are left to be ground
up by the terrible hatred of their form
er masters.
How do’ wo stand to-day.. The
South rabies her broken lines, mar
shals her scattered forces, and her
pohey is to restore as closely as possi
ble and as exactly as possib'e, the :
Union as it was—yes, and if possible,
the Constitution as it was; not ode
word, not one clause alt red, not one
clause added since 18t>0. • I Say the
South to-day indulges the hope that
in the eontiugences and chances of !
polites she may yet be a! le to carry .
that point. Who leads her? The
Fres’dent who is her general-in~ehief.
lie is encamped in the White House;
and he pledges the policy .’ f the United
States to second the plot of Southern
politician's to roll back the revolution.
Well,-the President is a great’ force.—-’
It-is idle to ignore tile fact-that tlje ■
tenant of the'White House,, with the
patropage es the Government behind
him, euri almost guarantee success to’
whatever party he lends his weight.
Congress lus surrendered the point
in issue —surrendered the exact ques
tion on which, depends the character
of the future. ■ Look at it. A barhar
ous and a civilized community can
never be united under one government
on equal terms. The result- must, be .
conflict. In order that barbarism and
civilization should be united under one
government, one or the other must be. j
able to control its rival for ‘the time
being. If you except’ this, in the
future the North must have a right to
carry its civilization into the barbarbu- ’
South. The civilized North, must
have a right within the national girdle .
to control t e barbarism, of its neigh
bor. Now, what controls the Go-vein--
ment ? Two elements—land and the
ballot box. Land Owns- the govern
ment: Th ft class which owns land
will be able tomouid tl?e Government
It always has been so., aud always will
be. What made the democratic revo
lution possible in France in 1789 ?
Because. its nobles had parted wi-th
their lands, and because the French j
peasants got possession .of them' —
What then made, and still makes a
democratic revolution impossible in
England-? „ Because the-n and. now the
ruliiig-class of England held the- land
iu its own hands.’ The South knows j
this, and pledges.herself to beep the
lan-ds of the South out of the hands of.
{lie negroes. On this she plants the
currier stone of her policy, in the .firm-.
est pcsible manner. • On the other
hand is the ballot, “the o-nly possible
thing that can Control the normal rule
oi all governments. Landis the bal
lot box. In our reconstruction scheme ;
these two items are the primary ones, -j
ihe ballot box is indispensable. Wi’h j
it all .the others range themselves in
proportion ;• without it there is hardly j
a possibility of salvation. Now, on j
this subject Congress surrenders the i
two points —the land of the United;
State* and the ballot ‘I bus, infa
mously beyond all words, meanly be
yond all -desription, Congress deliber
ately gives up its friend to the hand
ot their enemy, and declares the war
ended, and places the loyalists cf the
rebel iStates under the iron heels of
their -oppressors. [Applause]

The Cabinet Crisis—Commencement
of a l> i ol ■■ lion.
Close upon the heels of a change of
the Biiti h ministry we have a minis
terial crisis at \\ asbir gton. The very
atmosphere in the Old World and the
New seems to be charged with the
elements of change and reconstruction.
Postmaster General Denison has r:-
signed cn grounds of political differen
ces with the President, Attorney Gen
eral Speed is r. ported to have followed
his example and secretaties Stanton
and Hat lan are expected to follow. To
the independents’ Randall, Doolittle,
and Dixon. call for a Union Johnson.
National Convention in Ppilidelphia, it
appears, we are indebted.lor this com-,
mencemen''of a-dissolution, and the
story may be briefly told. •
•’ Within the last thirty-six -hours
there has been some very remarkable’
and momentous movement- at .Wash- ■
in.ton in. the way qf political recon.-
.strm.-tiVm. I'he call for an independ
ent National Johnson Union Con yen-*
tipn at Philadelphia has-resulted in an’
extraordinary effervescence among
the old political elements, and .espe--’
cially among tue radicals of .-Congress.
As John Minor Butts, in. the days of
the dd Whig party, declared, - iti ref
erence to Captain’ Tyler, .“We wi 1-1
head him .or .die,’’ so- has “old Thad
Stevens”, issued bis edict, and all his
fq'lowers say “Amen.!” in regard .to
the heading or beheading of Andrew
Johnson. ‘. Tins proposed Ph.ilidcl; hia ,
Convention, as it appears, has Satisfied
even Senatoi Wilson at last that the
President has gone over t-i the Copper
heads, and -so,; without lnincing the
matter any longer, he is to be beaded
off, circumvented and pat doyvu.
To accomplish this object, three
combined movements were imd retaken.
First, the radie and caucus, which, has
pronounced against this proposed Phil
adelphia Johnson’ National Jn.on Con
vention in August; ‘ eeqndly, a eouu
terconventioh in Philadelphia, in Sep
tember, of Southern radical republi-’
cans, and, thiidly r a supporting move
ment among’ the .radical. elements of
the’ Cabinet. By the first of thes".
agencies it is expected tlie whole ra: k
and file of the republican organization
not personally bound to she admi. is
tration will be whipped into Hue ; by .
the second device tins formation of an
active Southern party iti support of j
Congress and in opposition to the.
President, is anticipated ;- and by the
last expedient, of a mutiny in thp-j
Cabinet, the. radicals doubtless desire ;
to push Mr. Johnson to the extremity
of submission to Congress or to the
alternative of a Cabinet reorganization:’
wh le the two houses are still in’sess
ion, so that the Senate may at once be ]
al le to pass’ its judgement, vea or pay, ;
upon the nominations pj-ade.
This is bringing the ‘‘irrepressible ;
confllict” to a tight at close quarters.
What will be the cons q.uences ? We
remember that when the old dominant
whig party of Congress of 1841 were
.about to issue their edict of excommu
nication against President Tyler,. Dan
iel Webster,. his Secietary of State, ;
inherited from General Harrison, ;
touchingly inquired, in view of this ‘
rupture, “Where am I to go:’’ Mr.
Seward is- now in the same predica
ment; and like Webster, f -r a little
.while longer, he has probably conclu
de! to take’ hi? -chances with the !
Administration—Pliladelpbh Johrrsou
Convention and all But this is the
Johnson pill which the amiable Post
master . General, Denison, of Ohio, I as
peremtorily refused to swallow, and a
similar refusal is expected or reported
from Messrs. Stanton, Harlan and
Spiced. The.other two Cabinet meui- .
bers,. Messrs. McCulloch and Welles.
L is thought, will still prefer to go.
with Mt;. Seward for the bird in the j
hand to all t’ e birds hi the bush, even
though put to the test of’ endorsing i
this Job: sonian National Conservative
Convention.- But will the President
apply This- -tos-t ? Thaddeus Stevens
•and the radical -caucus have thrown
down the gauntlet, and the. Pr sident,-
