GUI G 1 „ \ A.L jS TGli I| ' The negro, as he was vn the good old j davs of si-tV’-ry, is fust passing away; | and but a few days in the future, and ] all the trails of character which mi- j derod him so amusing and so dear to he childhood of onr Southern Yo th, j will have been forgotten To rescue j s-jineof these and present them to the ' reader, and if possible, preserve them | tis worthy of remembrance, is the bb- j jeet of a few articles which we begin in | this issue of the Exp nr: h, and whicli we design continuing as well for our own recreation, as to. the amuse,, ent and instruction of our patrons. We say the good old days of slavery, for whatever of undeniable evil was attach ed to that institution, and we will not deny that there was much, yet so ben eticial was it, in the main, to the owner and the Hlave, religiously and physical ly, and to the world at large, in the vast contributions which it unceasingly made to its positive, wealth, arid com merce, so full was it of blessings 10 the owner, and far more to the negro himself, that we do not hesitate to re iterate, a thousand times over, the “good old days of slavery.” Aside from the religious instruction which he re ceived from his master and his family, and the whole Christian Ministry of the South, correcting his moral* ... b uilu urn wuytol i.fe ami salvation, by men and means carefully selected and set tparfe for this precise work, and never suaered. for a moment, to flag in its righteous endeavors, thus advancing his race, year after year, more in its hopes and aspirations, and making him a better man and a more valuable mem ber of the community; aside from the friendships and affections which grew out of, and were a necessary and inva riable concomitant of this patriarchal institution, joining all the members of each family together in the kindliest ties of love, respect, and protection, thus entitling it to be call ed and considered benevolent in its op erations. and a real blessing to the poor African; aside from all this,, we venture the remark, that it was more admira bly adapted to supply the wants of the laborer himself, and to insure him an ample and comfortable support for himself and his family, than any other labor system which the world has ever seen. The principle upon which it was founded, was that of associated labor, directed by skill, intelligence and inter est, for the mutual bene lit of owner and slave. Practically, this was its operatiou. A number of hands lived on the plantation, and all worked to gether for,the benefit of the whole. The negro was the working force or power, the master the proprietor and trustee of the whole. If every one did his duty, the common good was the result. The land was in fact the prop erty of each and of all, while the title Whs in the master, and was worked by all, and for all. When any one of them looked upon the corn crib, filled with the harvest of grain, he said: “there is my bread, and bread for my family.” When he looked into the smoke house, and saw it filled with the well-fatted porkers, he said: “and there is my meat, and meat for my family.” When ho saw the cotton bales roll off to the market, he said: “there is the money to buy my hats, my shoes, my clothes, my salt, my iron, my mules, and my wagons.” Was lie sick, his master was his friend, and had the doctor at his side; and as he sat in his door, if too unwell to work with his comrades in the field, he looked out upon the busy people just in his sight, and knew that his every want would be supplied, and his family suffer nothing. Putter off was he then, than the man who labor ed by his side, who had to rely upon his own unaided labor, far better off was he then, than fie is now, when alone he must meet every demand which his too hasty liberation has brought upon him. Free he is, and we do not envy him his freedom, and our whole people love him too truly not to wish him well in his new situa tion, and heartily aid him to be pros perous and happy. We are guilty of no false Yankee declaration of broth erhood and mawkish sympathy and un believed, unfelt, and unbelievable senti mentalities; but we love our old negro friend aud slave, who hunted and fish ed with us, and worked with us aud for us, aud told us tales, and loved us, aud rejoiced with us, and sorrowed with us, aud played with us, and would have given his life for us, and sometimes too, would not hesitate to correct us with his own hand. Yes, we do love him, and if his state of free dom shall increase his happiness one scintilla, none will rejoice so much or so really as we, his old, his best, and his truest friends. “Yes, I is; an’ I knows it, ’cause I done ’sperieneed it, an’ I’se had de view of it, an’ I seed it, an’ I knows it; yes, I is; bless God, I is, an’ I’se done been baptized over to be a baptist, an’ I been under de water, an’ I done come up agin, an’ on my way to de king dom. Yes, lis I” Such was the declaration of old John, or as he was always called, ‘blue John,’ in answer to my question. I see him now, as he was more than fifty years ago. 1 remember tbe feme he first came to our house, having just been purchased by my fat her. I remember how he stood in the yard, apparently perfectly satisfied and happy, that he had found him a borne and muster, ami seemed as much at ease, as if be bud lived there all his life. The other ne groes came up from the “quarter,” to see the new-comer and feilow~‘sarviiit,’ and there was many a polite bow, and much scraping of feet, and shaking of hands, and hearty weleomings among the dusky crew, just at the door. His name was John. John who? John; nothing but John. But then there were several others of the same name on the plantation. There was old Jack, and big John, and little John, and John Wright, and John Young, and here was another bearing the same common title. But the negroes soon found for their -• w acpjm..ranee, and gave nun on tho spot a uuuit V'L.tu dung to him all the days of ins life. When he came he had on a long tailed blue broadcloth coat, which had, it is true, seen better days, but j nevertheless was so stylish a thing in j the eyes of the plantation, homespun \ crowd, as to attract their special no- j tice and admiration; and so at first i when they spoke to him, they said, j “you man dar wid de blue broad cloff j coat on;” or whek tney spoke of him j they said, “Jat dar nigger dar what | got on the long tail blue coat ” so that soon he was known as ‘de man wid de blue coat;’ and finally they settled the hash for him in the way of a name, by calling him ‘blue John/ and blue John he was from that day on. Slick, fat, and chuncky was blue, with large pop ped eyes, big month, teeth wide apart, a highjjforehead, aud hair of the real grape seed order; always consequen tial and credulous to a fault, even for a negro, he was wonderfully supersti tious, kind-hearted, but very deceitful. To sing was his delight, and sing he would, and sing he did, either around the fire-side with the balance of the ne groes, or alone in his own cabin. Like the most of his race, he was troubled with a very cacoethes eanendi. Blue was a perfeet roystoring fellow, the best dancer at a gig, the best boxer and wrestler, the best hoe hand in the field, li. i on a corn-pj.iv, and the greatest liar in the crowd.— In process of time, however, a change came over the outward life of old Blue- He had visited a neighboring Baptist Church on Sunday, to witness the bap tism of several of his sable brethren, and so wonderful was the impressiou which was made upon his imagination or bis heart, that it was not very long before he made application to, and was received by immersion into the Baptist Church, after giving perhaps one of the most extraordinary experiences which even a negro ever gave. I had heard of his joining the church, and the won derful statement which he had made of Lis religious struggles, and deter mined to learn from his owu lips, the story of his transcendently strange spiritual adventures. It was not long before I sought and had the pleasure of having his own narration of his con version. He was sitting one night all alone in his cabin by the fire, and as I approached, £ distinguished his voice in rather elevated, prolonged tones, as if he was addressing someone, followed instantly by a tune raised by himself, and suited to the words just spoken; his eyes shut, his head snaking from side to side, and keeping time with foot and hand, evidently in most de uotional frame. And thus he proceeded, repeating as follows: “Harp, from de tooms, de doeful sound, My ear pretend to cry.” And then cam e his tune, in loud, clear and not unmeiodious tones. Again warning with his occupation, he spoke: “My dying day’s a rollin’ roun’, Make ready for to go.” And then again came his song, applied to the words. Once more: “On jarding’s storms old Hin stood, Wliile jarding rolled between.” and then., louder still, and still more devoutly his sweet voice followed in song as before. How long he would have continued in this exercise I can not tell, but in one of his pauses, hear ing me approach his door, he rose from his seat, and cordially welcomed me at his humble fire-side. “Why, Blue, what are you doing,” said I. “Jess a giving out and a singing,’ he replied “Giving out?” said I, “what’s that?” “Why, you see, I gives out de words and den I sings ’em, and data what I calls giving out. I fust speaks out de words oi de hi me, and deu I sets de tune and sings ’em. I reckon I can beat any man in all dese parts agivin’ out.’ Aud then, as if to demonstrate his ability in this highly prized accom plishment, he entertained me with many samples of his wonderful powers. After some conversation, tending to .he object I had in visiting him, I at length broached the subject, telling him that I was glad to hear that he had made a profession of religion and joined the church, and wished to know if the re port was true. “Yes I is,” said he, “an’ I knows it, ’cause I done ’sperieneed it, an’ I’se had a view of it, an’ I’se seed it, an’ I knows it; yes I is, bless God, I is, an’ I’se done been baptised over to be a Baptist, an’ I done been under de wa ter, an’ I done been buried, an’ come up agin, an’ I done shook hands all ’roun, an’ I’se on my way to de king dom, an’ de new Jerusalem; yes I is, bless God, I is.” “Well, Blue, I am very glad to hear it, and now come, you must tell me all about it, from the beginning, and tell me particularly, so that I may have a clear understanding of the whole mat ter.” “Well, you see, mas Jimmy, Ise bin a traveliin’ an a traveiliu’ for a long time, ever since we come to dis place, arter we moved from down in ole Put muu county, up here to dis ole Athens town, and most pertickler so ever siuce I was hired to work on de streets, un der de Marshall, Mr. Hicks, an a plow in dat ole gray horse. I used to think right smartly bout my spiritual state, an what was to become of me at de last; Hut it kep a growin an a growin on me till about a month ago I cud’nt rest for de pains, an de strife, an de mizzable mizzableness I was always a feelin. 1 went tc de preachin, an to de prayer meet,in, an to all de places whar I thought I could find out de way an de light; an I prayed, an I prayed, an I prayed, an I talked to dis professor an dat professor, an I looked here an I looked dar an I looked ever whar; but I couldn t find no peace, an I thought I should a died. I talked wid de black folks, an I talked wid de Avhite folks, an I talked wid de metho odists, and the baptists, a,n dem pres bertereums, an I couldn’t, arter all, git no rest, nor peace, nor any satisfac lou. but I got worse an 1 worse, unti arter ail my travels, at last I had a view, an I seed myself? >m now I knows what I knows, an ole Blue is jes de bess j pleased black person in de whole state, j Well, you see, I was a workin on de sheets, an a plowin Burton Hicks’ old j gray horse, an as I was a workin and a mourniu, an a mournin, an a mourn in, it peared to me all at once dat I was a sinking, an a sinking, au a sink ing, an I went down, an I went down, and went down, till at last I done left de world, an I was clear gone, an was i lost, forever lost, an de fuss thing I : knowed I found myself in hell, wid de smoke au de fire an de darkness, ail roun me, an de ole devil a holdin me by de collar of my coat, wid bof his ole sarpint hands. I speck he thought I was gwiue to git away from dar, an I would, too, if I could, an so he took me way down in de middle of dole ful regions, an put me right away hard to work. Dere was a heap of people down dar, an dey was all a burning iu de fires of de torment. Dere was a great many stalls, jes like de stalls in de horse stable, ail planked up long side one another, an all of ’em right full of burnin fire. An ole Satan, h put me to huuchin up de fire in de stalls wid a pitch-fork, to make de fire burn good. Dere was down dar a great big lake, right full of melted lead, jus de hottest au most awfullest. phu*e T ever seed; an ue oie devil had a whole passel of shelves, all ranged roun in rooms, one bove de other, right tliar by de side of de burnin lead ,auhe’d go an take up fust one man au den anoth er, by de heels, an dip em right down head-foremost in de burton lake, an when dey went down dey made a soun soun jes so—c-h-e-e-a-w; an, den he took em out, an laid em up in rows, on dem shrives, an dey looked for all de world jes like so rneny cooked chick en loots. Well, arter 1 done made up all de fires in de stalls, de ole debit he say to me, he say, pintiu to de first stall whar was one of de biggest blazes dere was in all dem stalls, he say, “now, ole Blue, you go in dar, ole fellow, an lay down dar in dat one; dat’s your’n.” God bless you, mas Jimmy, I couldn’t stan dat; dat want de place for me, an I want a gwine dar no how, an so I started an I run, an I run, an I went as hard as I could go to save my life. I tell you I put it down dat time as fast as I could, dat time. But I hearu a monstrous big noise behine me, an I turned my head, and dar was a whole passel of white men on horses, wid guns an dogs ccmil) hard as they could arter me. I run, an dey ran, an just as dey was about to come up wid me, I cum to a awful presipis, de iliest bank you ever seed, au way down yonder, de deepest darkest hole in de world. My sole ! mas Jimmy, what must I do ? Dar was dat great big black hole right before me, an right- behine me was all dem dat was arter me, an de fust thing I knowed I jumped right off, and away I went, down, down, down ! Lord bless you, mas Jimmy, ’twas the bottomless abyss. When I found out dat, I was so scared dat I hollered out all at once, FDe Lord hub mercy bn my nolol” tin jus us quiet US liglitnm, soon as I spoke dem blessed words, I jes riz right up, up, up! right out de mouth of de biss, an light as a feather, an as I went up, dar stood de white men, on de bank wid dey guns, an de lasu one of dem shot at me, but thank God dey missed me, an so I got out’n dat place; au I tell you now, right here, dis chile don't go dar any more, certing. “Weil,” and here tbe old fel low rolled his large eyes enquiringly at me, to see how I was taking his wonderful revelations, but finding all right in his serious and deeply atten tive auditor, he proceeded: “Well, de nex place I foun myself in my travels, was de pnrtiest country ever I seed, de sun was so bright and de sky was so blue, an all de trees jes loded down wid ammonds an resins. I never seed the like before in all my born days; all de hickeynut trees, an ali de oak tre< s was jus hangin full wid de ammonds an de reezins; an de ground was de purtiest and whitest ground in all de world, jes as white as de snow; an it was all covered over wid de whitest stuff ever you seed in all your days, an I stooped down an picked up some an put it in my moudh, an tasted it, and God bless your sole, it teas while sugar! de whitest, sweeterest sugar ever was in a barrel yonder in de white fokes’ house.” And the old fellow smacked his lips, as if it was there melting in his mouth. “ Well, jes then a man or a angel, I speck it was a angel, come up to me, an says he to me, says he: “View yede city of de new Jerus deni ?” an I look an I saw de biggest, finest, great big, white, two*story, white house, heap bigger dan any in dis town; an den I went long up to de hous, an dar was de biggest, likeliest, an proudest lookin white man ever I seed, settin in de door wid his hat cocked on one side, an his legs crossed, a readin a newspaper, wid a cigar in his mouth. Mas Jimmy, dat was de Lord ! I wa) ned up in de front of de door, and I pulled off my hat, an I bowed polite, an said “howdy do master ?” He looked at me sorter side ways, outen his eye, over his shoulder, holdin.his paper before him, an pear ed like he didn’t want to talk to me, an says he to me, says he, “howdy, boy —what’s your name ?” Johu, sir— Blue Jolm, says I. “Who do you be long to ?” says he. The widow H sir, down in Athens, sir, over in Geor gia, sir, says L “And what do you want here, sa> s he. ‘l’m hougry, sir, an I want something to eat, sir, if you please, sir, says I. He looked at me mighty kind, but proud-like, an begin nm to read his paper agm, he says ‘go roun dar to de kitchen, an de niggers will give you something.” Alter dat I went on agin, ai arter awhile come to a great big town, filled with little bits of teenty houses, an all de people was little bits of teenty folks, no bigger den so rnenny children; an dat was de city ol de Pharisees. As I weut along in the streets, dar sat a little man in de door, an his wife set tiu by ins side, an she was a nittin; my soul, how fast dat little Pharisee unman did knit; I -never see anybody make needles fly roun like dat before; an as I was a passin by de door, he hollered out to me, an says he, “whar you gwine?” says I,‘l’m gwine whar I’m gwine, dar’s whar I’m gwine. But says he, “whar is you gwiue?” says I, T in gwine down to Athens, over in Georgia. ‘Stop,’ says he ‘jest a mo ment; I wants to send a letter down dar. Doeß you know Mr. Newton ?’— ‘Yes’ says I; ‘Mr Lizer Newton ?” says he; “yes,” says 1, “I knows him well,” an he set down dar, right in de door, dat little Pharisee did, an you never see anybody write in all your born days, as fast as dat little Pharisee writ dat letter; he fairly made de pen fly over de paper; an dar snt dat little ooman a knit tin au a knittin, au a knit tin; you couldn’t tell which was de quickest, dat little man or dat little oomau. Well, he give me de letter, an I went on walking peart, as de sun was only jes bout a hour high, an all at once, I come to myself, an dar l was, right dar in Athens, an dar was de street, an dar was de ole gray, an dar was de plough, an dar was Mr. Hicks, an all at once he blazed out, an says he to me, John ? ole fellow, say he, “make haste ole fellow, it most time to take out.” Dats it, urnrse Jimmy, nn»l over HliJv<3 ctot; T’se cuf.iftfied boiu my sperience, an it all right here put away in my heart. Yes, it’s all right wid old Blue, and every time I thinks bout it, I remember de word dat was spoken dere at dat time, by dat same Burton Hicks, and de words was dis, “Make haste old fellow, it most time to take out,” for I thinks them words was of de Lord.” Poor old Blue I long years have fled since at his cottage fire he gave almost word for word, this story of his relig ious “travels,” and long ere this the kind old fellow has passed away. His time has come, and he has taken out. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. John H. Cobb, Treasurer, in Account with Bartow County for the year 1870. GENERAL, FUND. Jan. 1. To Cash on hand, $3,098 89 “ 4. “ E.
