Wayne had herselfapparentl) careless ly. yet not unintentionally but design edly mentioned the “fact” to her visi tor! Elda. She had once cherished <«n utter dislike for Elda, but after a -light familiarity and intimation the girh spirit, as shown in her words and actions, Mrs Wayne was convinced that Elda did not follow the type she imagined her to be. Though Elda said lint a syllable of it, she felt prostrate in heart when Mrs. Wayne mentioned to her that Vernon loved Miss Hargrove. To her it was incredible. She could not believe that hedecieved her when eo fondly he made a solemn protestation 4 f love. Yet she could not avoid a feeling of suspicion, lest it should be so. And while struggling amid these bil lows doubt she made the first and plain discovery that she truly loved Mr. Wayne. She also knew or rather had reason to believe, that it was equally mutual it any confidence could be re lied in his words. Now could he have so soon become alienated ? How could she credit the words uttered by Mrs. Wayne : “1 think Vernon had better return to his beau ideal Miss Ida, with whom he is so materially attached. — Elda you should see how very lovely ►.he is. Her beauty more than coni” jif-nsates for the inauly handsome looks of Vernon." ’ [To be Continued.'] They Say.

Public Meeting in Walker, At cording to previous notice a large meeting was held at LaFayette, Ga., on the sth inst* On motion of Lair son Black, &»q., the meeting wa* called to order* and B. R. MeCutchen wa# requested to take the Chair, and Thomas W. Cobb requested to act as Secretary, which was agreed to. The Chairman explained the object of the meeting to be kr the purpose of taking into consideration the late letter of Ex-Gov. Brown on the slate of the Union. On motion of John Handy, the Chair appointed a committee of three, to whom was referred the late letter ol Ex-Gov. J. E. Brown, to wit J John Handy, Peter Shaver and Jacob Sto ver, who retired and in a few hours returned, when John Handy, Chair man ot the committee, ask leave to make the following report, which was granted : The committee, to whom was referred the late letter of Joseph E. Brown on the state ot the Union, have had the same under consideration ard report. That we, the people, have just got out of a sanguinary, bloody, disastrous and desolating rebellion, in which thousands of innocent men have been slain, the country tilled with sutTering widows and orphans, and our proper ty and liberty has been lost and de siroyed, all of which calamities and misfortunes were brought on its by peaceable secession, and that Joseph E. Brown was Governor of Georgia at the time tiie State seceded, and that there was a majority of Union men in the State and in the Convention at the time of secession, and that Jjie Con vention which seceded would not have done so had it not been lor the influ ence and extraordinary exertions of the said Joseph E. Brown. Your committee further report, that Joseph E. Brown was the first man who led us out of the'Unicn in great haste, to our utter ruin, and he ought therelore to be the last to attempt to lead, us in again ; and that his late let ter, therefore, is a lasting disgrace to him and an insult to many loyal men in the State, except the negroes he has caused to be freed. Your committee fired, and so report, that the said Joseph E. Brown dicta ted the let er to himself, requesting him to write the said letter, for the sole purpose of thrusting his views on a suffering people, whom he has ruined, and that his letter was written for his own benefit. We further report, that in our opin ion it is unnecessary and unwise to call the present Legislature together for the purpose of carrying out the late act of Congress. V\e think the Gov ernor ought to issue his proclamation, which he has an implied right to do under the act of Congress, calling on the loyal people of Georgia to hold an election for delegates to meet in Mil- Icdgeville at an early day to frame a State Constitution, and that the first Legislature elected under the new Con stitution, ought to ratify the amend ment to the U. S. Constitution. On motion of John Handy, the re port was taken up and agreed to with out any dissent. On motion, it was resolved that the above report be signed by the Chair man and Secretary, and that the Cher okee Georgian, Cartersville Express and Rome Courier., ate requested to publish the same. On motion of Lawson Black, the meeting adjourned. B. R. MeCUTCHEN. Chairman. T. W. Cobb, Secretary. “Stevens* Bill.” The people need not be much alarmed about Thad. Stevens’ Confis cation bill. Well informed parties at Washington write that there never was a chance of its passage either through the Senate or the House of Represent” atives. Mr. Stevens himself told an intimate friend that he had no hope the bill would become a law, but he would nevertheless offer it and make a speech in its advocacy in order to re~ deem a promise and satisfy the de' mand of some of his more immediate constituents. It was promptly sent to the lumber room of the House, thereto remain until December next, when an unavailing attempt may be made to resurrect it. Meanwhile, the radicals and semi-radicals in the South will at* tempt to hold the infamous thing over the heads of the people, and will also use it to balm and delude the negroes into acting with them under a false promise that the lands proposed to be seized shall be divided into homesteads and parceled out for their benefit. We repeat, that Stevens’ bill, with the whole subject of confiscation, is dead and buried, consigned to the re ceptacle of lost things, and those who teach otherwise dishonor themselves, as they would dishonor the whites whom they threaten, and the blacks they try to delude. There is no more probability of such a law being passed, than there is that Mr. Stevens and his co-workers will by some miracle be transformed into good men and honest patriots. —Atlanta Intelligencer, Baptist Convention. —The Baptist Convention of Georgia will meet in Columbus on the 28th of April.

Shortly after the surrender of Lee there came to this city an individual named James F. Cummings, who had been a commissary in the rebel service. He here at once entered into, ii is alleg ed, half a dozen concerns, such as banker, broker, commission merchant, &c., into each of which he put a large capital. The manner in which he de ported himself, and the large quauliiies of money which he seemed to control, soon attracted attention and excited remark, especially as all other rebels were known to be in desperate pecun iary straits and actual want. It was soon not only whispered but loudly asserted by those who professed to know of his performances in 1 he South, that he had swindled nut only the rebel government, under which he occupied a position of trust, but citizens also, especially of North Carolina and Geor gia, on a scale' far beyond the wildest imaginings of ordinary' villians. He must have had large sums of money, for he was known as one of the heav iest stock operators on “the street,” and it was variously stated that his ill-gotten wealth amounted to from three to ten millions. A gentleman from Georgia who Is a large manufacturer now brings suit against the gay ex Commissary, and in his affidavit charges that the said James F. Cummings was in 1861 a resident of Tennessee, where iie car ried on the trade of a butcher; that he came to Georgia in 1803 a poor man ; that he is now reputed to be worth seven millions, and that he used the power of the so-called Confederate government to take from hi in goods of the value of $600,000. which he fraud ulently converted to las own use, and it was by like means that he obtained the large wealth of which he is pos sessed. Upon many affidavits, all tending to the same purport, Judge Leonard, ot the Supreme Court, granted an order of arrest, and on Friday the gallant gatherer of hog and hominy for hungry “rebs,” and quondam butcher, banker, broker and operator in fancy slocks, was invited by the Sheriff to a resi* denee in Loudlow-street jail, where he will have time lor wholesome reflec tion on the mutation* whicn alteitd all human affairs. The case will present some interest** ing questions of law, but will be main ly looked after by the public for the reason that it promises to develope the full details, not only of this particular transaction, but of many others, which together lorm one of the most remark able and gigantic system of traud and peculation which have been brought to light for some time. —[N.

Under this caption wc find the follow ing letter in our Columbia exchange!, from Beverly Nash, the colored man whose speech at the receipt miction meeting in Columbia, some two weeks since, was fully reported in llvM* journal. It explains itself, and we have only to say, like our friend Selby,oftlie Phaen’x. “we judge that Beverly is competent to take care of himself.”— Charleston Courier. Columbia, March 28,1807. Messrs. Editors —I see in your paper of this morning, that at a meeting of the colored peepie held at Union Hall, on the 251 h instant, grave charges w**re made against me, on account of the speech, or remarks, made by me on the 18lh instant. This so called public meeting was held in a hall which is thirtv-one feet nine inches by thirty leet. Perhaps there were two hundred and fifty persons present. Well, who composed that meeting ? I learn that the greater part —in their unsophisticated credulity —had been made to believe that my notion Was to put them back into slavery. This meeting was led on by Bob Trice and his satraps, foreign and domestic. Oh ! my eounttry, when I think of the fate of the children of Israel, I tremble for my people. At this meeting! it was determined that none ol my friends should be beard. When Mr. Davis tried to speak, he was hissed. Yet he would be heard, and his remaras caused such .a division among them that the chairman had to take a vote three times to decide whether the resolutions were passed or not. Now for the committee which brought in the resolutions, which had been previously prepared First, whp is Bob Trice? He came here a hardshell Baptist; the next we heard of him he was a temperance lecturer { next he became a Catholic, and now a bar room politician. But I forbear. For est, poor Forest, I leave you to y.»urself—the worst company you could have gdt in. Now, Williams, did you not tell three gentlemen of this city that you came back from Florida dissatisfied, and that you never wanted to have anything more to do with the Yankees —that you had come home to live among your own people? You how denounce me as a “traitor.” because I have sympathy for my fellow-citizens, be they white or black. If this makes me a traitor I ask for no prouder inscription on my tomb than “W. B. Nash, the Traitor.” Thank God. 1 can look up to Heaven and say thatl never did pledge mvselt to any man to vote or act against the interest of my State. I am a Union roan, but a South Carolinian. Fitzsimmons 1 respect as a gentle man. But I would ask the chairman of this so-called meeting why he did not publish all the resolutions passed ? Is he riding the rail between the North and the South? For shame, man! When your prompters behind the scenes prepared this resolution, your heart failed you, and you would not publish it. Like the owl. you fear the light. I now ask you if you and your party dare to mett me before the people in daylight? I say to you, be ware! lest when jou think you are crushing a worm, you are grasping a scorpion. Oh ! jackass ! jackass! the lion is neither dead nor asleep. W. B. Nash.
