j£S£"Fnrmcrs in Clay, Randolph,
Cnthoun and Baker counties continue
to complain of the ravages of the boll
worm.
"We learn from the ‘ Enfaida N> tea ’
that the Caterpillar has made its appear
ance in that section, destroying the cot
ton with the voracity of hungry wolves,
it strips the leaves and forms, leaving
the stalks naked, except the few bolls
that have matured.
From the best infermaiion we can
gain is that a short crap of c:tton may

have a tendency to enhance its value.
Georgia as site in.
Amid the goneral uphe&viogß and
political convulsions, around us, there is
continually ariseing to the surlaeea kiud
of substratum, unique in its Da'urc, but
at the same time so transparent iu its
composition as to require no analysis.
It is but an upti ing iu the liadioil
ranks, whose leaders are like lido men
lifted from their feet in the strugle and
the prisure of a multitude, but troddeo
down whenever their precarious support
gives way.
Tu - r'-nml? government is but a
Tournament. The gauntlet, is iiunu,
and the lists are crowded not with a na
tion’s chivalry contending for national
honor, but with little souls, endowed
with Cyclopean cupidity, whose avarcie
is bnt commensurate wbh their ma’fig
naot designs. For, to satisfy personal
greed and attain party meaturcs they
are willing to sink a world.
What is the assemblage now in At
lanta but an iscoogruous uuilocton of
monsters, typifying every grade of van
vice ai d sciolism. They are but
tbs representatives of nuubocracy in
polities, are the apostates of a liberty,
culminating in the bondage of millions,
of freemen, and of an equality of races,
the fraternal links of which are to be
dyed in blood,
Amidst these satanic shapes, the co
ble and lofily human being passes, us
ke would through (he port of a museun
appropriated to uncouth monsters, men
tally exclaiming, bow ugly and destest
able these miscreations aro, and bough!
what a stench they emit.”
Imagine the svperl array of talent
investing ihe Thing the hidoou3 shape,
the poor deformed Bantling, miscalled
the Georgia Legislature! Now, thcflior
is claimed by some renegade radical
sneak, who, for an indefinite period is
allowed to calumniate bis betters, and
•pit, incontinently, toad-like venom;
while aoon, the netcly franchised arises,
cells the previous question, tar —and
“Too deep for his hearers goes on defineing,
And thinks of convincing while they think
•t dineing”
True La this menagre there may,
now nod then be found some manly ge
nial (in unenviable quarters to our
taate) weilding democratic weapons,
and batliog tor the right, but tbey are

Misbepreskntation. —Tho Ridical
presses are attempting to weaken the
influence of the Southern ieatiera ami
injure tbe cause of Democracy, by de
claring that the late Confederate leaders
are advocating revolution and war.*Tbe
charge is false. These leaders—Hamp
ton, Forest, Cobb, Toombs, Butler, and
otheis, are urging, with all tho energy
and eloquence which they possess, the
cause of the Democratic party, as the
cause of Pence and Constitutional Lib
erty. They counsel no war—no revo
lution; but nrgeihe people to work ener
getically and unceasingly in bebalt of
the great cause which they ref resent.—
And as the people of the South follow
ed them cheerfully and promptly in war,
so will they follow them willingly aGd
proudly in peace.— Banner of the South.
Cheeking News from Louisiana.—
A business letter from New Orleans to
a gentleman in Atlanta, ref-rring to
the pol ticai situation, says “I am glad
to inform you that I have never known

I don’t think them will be one sixth of

Atlanta, August 2l*t, ISGB.
The bill tdsptißg the lows lo'the new
Constitution wi I not be portraitd in
lime to admit of several of tbc Fill
Court* to be held; ss new juries, &0-,
will liuvo to be drawn, the verdict if
one juty being bow made final. This
will cause the loss of a term. Robinson
of Greene will be Judge of the Ocmul
gee Circuit, p will he seen through
the papers that some if the Judges have
been appointed and ccnfi.med. Some
of them good, others very unfortunate.
One nomination l ad to be withdrawn
and another name substituted. It is
unpleasant to individualize, hence, I
nball not attemj t i». I am tuily suii.-fn and,
that in the nomination of Judge War
ner fir the Suprims B.ceh for a subor
dinate position to that t e has hold, that
it was done uuder the rxpcctatiou that
he would not accep(-~ and then Walker
could bo substituted. But in this ma
nic aver, the m inißivorers have been dis
appoint-d. Judge W. ins accepted,
and yistcrday obtained his commission.
Only two or three votes carried through
some of the Governor’s nominations.
The minority in the S-matc aro very in
diguant at some of them, openly
charge that the want of character is too
frequently a ree tnmendation to the
person.
At the late Grant and CJfix ratifi
cation moatiug here, if any white men
fivori y it, they were ashamed to be seen
in the process on —con tenting t bemseh es
to spur on the negroes. The speeches
male, (*ith the ixcep ion if that of
Senator Hill.) were rather of an incen
diary c iaraetir. The worst of feelings
and prejudices are b ting excited by the
Ssdecal leader among the negroes, to
produce c mfl.cts South, to make capital
lor the Northern Radicals. This may
do no mischief South. It is rot as
Grant says, “let’s have peace,” bnt pre

it is si'. “I don’t want it.” “You a*k

What is a Radical ?” “A half nigge tir.”

■ ft ut on tbc pirt of the Northern 11 il

over to the tender mercies of a eorrunl

prove a failure, to the mortification of
those who sell thcaiselvos for cfliie.

I liavo had the satisfaction of meet

He is in oidinary liialth—never very

who desire ti do so can addre-s him.
The l«q islaturc will probably, as il
certainly should, pass a bill to give to
the voters of the State, the privilege of
determining the question as to where
they prefer the Seat of Government for
tbe S ate. It is contended here by one
party, tbat tbc people in ratifying the
Constitution, thereby removed it here
This is on the other side as flatly deni
ed. I hat the.eleciian of delegates to
the Convention, was called for a spec -
tic purpose. 'lhe question tbouF the
seat of government was not mooted or
thought of- This is lite.aily true.—
lienee, let the people have a chance to
vote aud settle it for themselves. Af
ter that, no one will complian.
Atlanta has, since the war, improved
very rapidly. The improvments spread
out from tho Railroad Benot—the cen
tre—to the extent of a mile and a ha’f,
on an average, all around. Improve
ments still going on. Many of the
buildings, store*, dwellings, &c., are in
fine taste and tho first order of architec
ture, with ornamented grounds &c. At
lanta will no doubt ire long out strip any
of the other cities in the Stato, having !
now about thirty thousand injopula
tion. It will be the great point of wes
tern trade, and that will radiate in eve
ry dircctiiD’ The scenery, pure water
good health throughout the year, with
business advantages, makes it more and
mure attractive.
No one can well conceive of the num
ber of laree and tasty buildings erected
by the Government at “McPhersons
barracks.” Why it was done, uuless
for the sole expenditure of money, is
moro than I can conceive. Not much
less than a million of dollars, it will be
found, has thus been laid out, while the
people arc taxed ts impoverishment
Gall you this a R-publican and free
Government! This does not look like
it.

“There is nothing the matter, mads

“Now, doctor, just look at my longe,”
she persisted; “just look at it, look at it!

| Georgia, in tho hands of her enemies,

Legislative sessions in a crowded, unfin

her officers, and her Governor (so called)
boarding at a hotel
L t a man sp-nd a pleasant night, as
we did, at the Milleuoeville Hotel,
(one of the best in the Union ) where
you have comfortable rooms and good
fair, and then let them repair to Atlanta,
and try it one night iu her best bouse,
and he will vote for the Capital to g >

We hope that the present Legislature
will pass an act lookingto the permanent

No v York Convention are in fact whig

Rowin’ STidwvy, Ky. —There was
a row in Midwaw at a negro tableau on
Thursday night, which came near re
sulting seriously, Tbe negroes gave a
tableau iu their church and permitted
the whites to occupy the gallery, the
negroes themselves occupying the oody
of tbe church. A good many whites
a'tended fur the fun ff the thing, and
from seme un xplaincl cause a pistol
wa* fired oft by a negro teacher, and this
was a signal for a general rneb e.—
About thirty shots were fired, and the
negroes put. to Highr. A yourg man by
the uiune of B.n. Arnot was shot iu the
arm and in the leg, making painful but
not dangerous wounds. lie was sitting
quietly on a fence neA by when shot,
and had no hand in the row. The ne
gro teacher was arrested and lull f r
t in'. There was a good deal of exii e
uient, on Thursday, in Midway and
some appsi heosinn of a reuowal of hos
ii 1 i ids. If it is demonstrated beyond a
doubt that, tho negro teacher fired the
ti st sh o, with l u 1 provocation, i- will go
Hard with him.
