H is my doty to aee and to hear that the
Radicals are making desperate effort* to
keep the colored people separated from,
and embittered against the white raoe.
And why 7 Because they know that
they cannot control the Northern peopl
o a Jets they create a false impression
upon their minds. They want to see
repeated the New Orleans and Memphis
riots, so ss to oreate the impression tLat
the respectable while people of tbe South
all of whom are Democraia, aro endeav
oring to g»t up strife betweeu themselves
and the colored people.
These miserable creature* say, too, that
another ol>j et of the Democratic party
is to cany you back into slavery. Tney
are file liars ! They know that it is
false. We gave y u freedom in our
Convention in 1865. And the Radicals
are the very ooe* who have declared
that G institution illegal and set it aside!
They ssy that we want a war of races.
Now let me ask you who owns all the
jreperiym this coumry 7 Don’t you
know that tbe white peopld own 99-
lOOths ot it io Augusta and other places
in Georgia? Don’t you know it’s tbe
Demoonta who own i! Well,if war comes
who will be the losers? Wouldn’t it
be the Democrats? Why, we’vo tried
war, we’ve lost by war, aud we don’i
want to lose any more by war. War is
a thing which caucs 10-scs. Altai, t.
was burned by war; money is squired
to carry on war; aud all that we have
got now is tbe lit 1# that was lift us
from tbe last war. YettLeso miserable
Loyal Leaguers want to make you be
lieve that we waot to get up another
War. N", I'll tell you what it is. These
vile miscreau s that they arc, want to
get up another war. These miserable
creatures wauta wat —a war against
mrn who are your true friends. They
are bankrupt ia their character as they
are ia purse—and that ia very broken —
and, therefore, a war would be the very
thing for them. They eoutd go back to
their (Id occupation of stealing spoons !
It is true we haveu’t a great many left,
hut they might get the balance. These
fsgaboods, alio, at tbo commencement
of the war had nothiug, but wound up
•tit* close with fortunes which they bad
atclcn. These aieu may make some
thing by stirring up another war, and
hence they want it. i ask every oolored

war of races—l warn you that destruc
tion is in siotc for you. W hen such a
war con. es, if unhappily it shonld, the
wonts, North and Booth, will unite
again.t you. I see letters from the
North, almost every day, faying lot the
contest come ; we will bgnt it out. Ou,
my c.iored inends, that a voice from
Leaven oouid tell you, that the best
iricnds you have on rartb arc these
Bsutberu people —these people who you
have been raised with you. It is »tr*ugc
to me that you c.n be made to believe
anything else. The Ramoals have tried
the white people aud tailed with thuu ;
aud now Huy are tailing witu the oolor
ed people. 1 have studied the history
of your race for four thousand yeare.
During y*.ur slavery you enj -yea more
advantages aud Uappiucs* man any ot
your race elsewhere, it you want to
preserve your advantages aud happiness
iu freedom you must preserve your kind
ly aud natural relaiioua with the white
people. You are now as free as lam ;
outdo not let the future historian say
that it scon as you got your tree
dum you began to deteriorate. I’iaaerve
your onaructers, improve your raoe, be
Uuneat aud juat, and freedom will prove
a blessing to you. If you turn your
back ou your lriends, ou men who rnado
tbia eouuiry, what will become ot you ?
We waut peace —we intend to Uave
piaee—it ia to our interest to h v pet;t;
but if you wilt wage war, if you will fol
low strangers, if you will bate our p- o •
pie at tne ine igauou of carpet baggers,
woe bo unto you. TUese aro words
which should stiike deep into your
hearts, as I utter them—woo ! woe ! un
to you will be the Word* from tR parts
of the wor:d. These are not threats,
my colored friend* ; they are words ot
counsel ai.d warning, and wisdom t«.
you.
I do not know what is to become cl
tbe coun ry. Tbero were never so
many whites and blacks assembled to
gether in one Government, ns freemen,
befere. Whether it will st.nd or full
I do not know. Philosophers suy
that it cannot stand I won’t dispute
it with them. Well, what then 7 Do
you export ihc whi'c people to quit ii 7
Do you expect them to follow the car
pet-baggers in their disfranchisement
of intelligent people? That, 'bey won’t
do. Never 1 Never! If you would
prosper and be happy, then, you must
come to us; come together ; it is your
interes. toeome We understand this
question better than you do—we unuw
our right*, nnd we know yours. I have
mude, my friends, a more earnest ap
peal to the colored people of Augusta
tiian I have eltewhwe, because they
have been subjected '.o more dele eri
ouv influences tbau those of other pla
ces l don’t know any place where
there were more of these carpct-bag
gers and more effoits made by them
to deceive you—come of these, unhap
pily, are “to the manor born.” They
told me themselves that they want* and
to deceive you, aiid now, t*eei g ihei
failure, they are becoming desperate.
Some of theee men in Georgia have
become so hardened, *odesperate that
they would be willing to *ee the coun
tiy sacked, to see at eon, theft, murder
aud every crime in the catalogue en
acted, il by it they could be left iu
power.
In my opinion, in regard to our can
didates and the present canruss, much
•peak-ing ia unnecessary. Why? Bo
cause .every white mutt understands
the iaaue, unless be is a fit sulject lor
the colored men, if you want good ad
vice, go to ttoe men who have never
deceived you —to those who were
raised with you —to those who have
always been your frienda ; go to them
privately, but not to office seekers and
office-holder ; go to citizens w hore
whole interests are in the proper'/ and
prosperity cl the country, ask them
honestly; they will adviee you right,
and then follow their advice. Take
their advice iosteud of that of Loyal
Leaguers, who have come down here
to get office and to stir up strife be
tween yon and the white people, and
you will not regi «t it

Tlic UarbeciM at Lougstrcet on
Saturday Last.
The delegation from this citp which
intended to go to the above affair, was
by some mistake, left standing under
the pa-i-TOger stied, on Saturday morn
ing. They were to go down on the
freight train and v ailed at the shed
lor an hour after the time at which it
was appointed to leave, for it to back
up from the freight depot and take
them aboard. Instead of doing so it
w ent ahead.
From those who were present at the
baibecue we le.irn that a good time!
was lied. Speeches were male by j
Col. J B. Weems nnd liobert W. j
Stubbs, Esq , ol this city, and by a [
lew colored Democrats, among th»ni I
one from a man named Shennun, who ,
has been in Liberia since the war, nnd ,
ha* also ,-peiit some !im« in New York ,
.-ince he wns freed from slavery. His
speech is represented to us as being of
a highly interesting eharac er, partjcu
ltrly that portion of it relating to his I
• ipeiience in Liberia and N, w York.e
He had a hard time in Liberia, and j
said it was the last place in the world [
thar a negro Irom this country ought ;
to desire to go. Ho said the natives
were little “Iso than cannibals That
while he was there some o[ them badly
wounded or poisoned his dog, and it j
ran under his cabin and died, and that '
that the natives in a day er two niter,
came and got it out and divided it
among themselves and ate it 'J hat
he cou'd get little or no work to do in J
Liberia and that if he had not played
a trick upon a man who jut a little i
money in his hands t» buy Carpenter’s j
tools wiih, and u*ed the money t" get
away from that country, he would
have died there. 80, with acout SIOO ,
in gold, he look ship to New York, 1
where he arrived without a do'Lr;j
but, as he thought, w here he would 1
be kindly received and cared for; as !
be had always heard that the North
ern per.pie were the friends of'he no
gro. His reception, on the contrary,
was (mu' cruel and unkind. He ap
plied at several Carpenters’ shops lor
work, but was turned off because he
wo* black—the journeymen threaten- I
ing to kill him before they would work
with him. It whs not so in the fs.~nth. I
He had always worked here by the
aide of whi’e men, aud not until he
trLd it at the North, did he believe
that it was objectionable to Northern
mechanics to work in the same shop
with colored people.
He felt that if he could get no work
in New York he would starve, lie
did not know what to do, and was saunt
er og along the wharf seeking employ
ment of any kind, when, fortunately, be
camo across a Southern man, in the
shipping business, to whom he stated
his oaso and asked for employment. He
go' Land worked until he got money
enough to com} to Savannah. He said
be never wog so happp as when he got
back among his friends and those who
had raised and cared for him. When
he got to Savannah he heard f r the first
lime that the Democrats of the South
wanted to re enslsve the negroes. He
was told so by the Union Losguers and
it saddened him ; but be said to himself
I had rather be a slave than to be 6ent
hack to Liberia or New York, as a
freedman. Said he went to one or two
good Southern men, whom he knew
would not tell him a falsehood and
would not eeceive him, ana asked them
if the Southern people wsn'ed to put
all the Degrees in slavery again They
told him upon their honor, no; that no
true, Southern man would ever se<k to
ensiave him or his foinily. He coaid
nyt doubt them. They bad never de
ceivee him and be felt bound to believe
them. Ho still buDg about the Union
League meetings and beard so much
stTife talked about ; so many Northern
men say they liked tbe negroes and
oanie hr re to give them their rights, and
all tha'; beard them uiako ao many
false st* lemon's—for he had been
aineng them and knew they were false
that be finally became disgusted, aud
swore he would act wi'b the Krdicai
party no longer. He was npw a Demo
crat. He had tried tbe Radicals—bad
tried the Northern people—and be
knew they wovld not do h r the blacks
to rely upon; and he called upon all his
1 adored friends present to come Lward
I aoe j in the Democratic party as their
| ooly safety iu future.
Boeraiaii spoke in a conversational
| straighifcward maouer,making no effort
at elocution, aud his talk was well te
ceived by bis colored friends, sotcc forty
or fitly of wooiu came up and joined the
Democratic party.
Tbe day passed eff pleasantly, a good
crowd was present, a bpleudid ba.becue
was | ropared and all had enough and to

Some days since a colored man was
up before Mayor N*ff, on some ebarg,
and was fined twenty dollaas. At the
instance of a ‘rebel,’ who spoke well of
tbe prisoDor’e obaracier, tbe Mayor re
duced tbe fine to ton dollars, which wjs
vory proper. Ts e prisoner had no
money, and, in company with a p -licc
tnao, he called on a number of his Rad
ical friends to pay the fine, that he
might be released from confinement and
resumo his work. O.d ‘uncle’ Autbony
Howe was ono to whom bo applied ap
plied, but ‘unole Anthony ‘didn,t bars
a dollar.’, ILs other liidical friends,
‘without regard to race, color or previ
ous condition,’ were just like ‘uncle’
Anthony Howe—they ‘didn’t have a
dollar.’ Finally, the poor colored man,
disappointed and disheartened, applied
to one of those ‘d —n,’ as the disuoioa
iate are pleased to term their betters,
and he did have the monoy; and not
only bad it, but cheerfully paid the
arnouut of tbe fine, and tho colored man
was released.

The following is au extract of a lets
ter from a resident of Missouri, formerly
a well known and highly respected citi
zen of our town.
It reads as follows:
Licking Missouri
Aug, 24th., 1868.
Dr. Perryman,
Dear Doctor.
I have for a long time thought that I
would write you a letter, but have been
so unsettled in my mind that I have de
fered it from time to time till now; bat
have no’hing now that will hardly en
gage your mind for so !ong a time as it
will take to peruse it.
I have bceu ov< r a great deal of
country sinoe 1 last saw you, but am
obliged to confess to you that none
suits mo as well as old Georgia, my na
tive state, her good and kind people, and
tbe many good friends that I have lef*
behind me ean never be obliterated
from my dearest memories, and conse
quently I cannot forget them, as I think
a grea: deal of a friend. When I tike a
mao, (I am like your honored self) I,
like him, and if I do not bo ean easily
ell it—as it in the ease with you—as
there if no deception about you.
To aay to yr-u that tbia is not a better
country than Terrell, would b* saving
too much, for a man ean live better and
muob cheaper here than there, and tbe
Isnd is free and productive, wh*D it in
lewe 1 enough for cultivation, wbteb it
tbo case in ibis section, it is as level si
the laudn around Terrell, bat the water
has tendency to sink in very dry weath
er, which baa been tbe case tbia sum
mer.
This is tbe dryest summer in tho ree
olrctiou of the oldest settlers, but it has
begou to rain some now, and eorn is do
ing finely, begining to silk and tassel,
and occasion*.ly a roasting ear, which
seems like strange talk to yon, as 1 sup
pose a man might go to mill out of
some of your cornfield*. If the frost
does not catch tb* com, it will now
make a common crop about half wheat
crops were good, and oats generally good
tbe fruit is generally poor, too co.d in
tbe spring which killed it nearly all out
In fact ibis is s good country for a man
to makes good living in and not work so
baid as io some portions of Qeorgia;
but this section is nothing to compare
with some portion* of Missouri, in fact
tbit is tbo poorest pottion of it that I
have been in, and stLl lands are selling
high, and tnyihiog like an improved
place will sell quick and at a good
prior, ranging from $5,00 to 20,00 dol
lars per acre, the same lands esn be
bought in tbe woods for 81,25 dollars
per acre, and homestead by tbe govern
ment for twenty five cents, this compels
you to settle and bold for five years,
then you can procure a tittle from the
Government for tbe same.
The facilities fer making money are
not great as there, and not half so much
to speod it sot as living is chesp. Good
flour fivo to six dollars per hundred,
Bacon sixteen to twenty cents, Corn one
d“)Ur, Wheat one dollar to one fifty per
bushel, Oats finy cents, Tbe finest but
ter you ever saw twelvo and a half
cents per lb, you can live well here at
a small cost. •
There is a great emigration to thi
weatren land from a’l tbe old states,
waggons constantly moving along in
some direction, some bound for Kansas
und Tun*, and almoet all tbe states and
Territories west of tbia. There are •
great many coming from Tennesacv,
Brownlow’s dominion tre becoming too
; hot to hold au honest man; and I tell
1 you Missouri is not fsr behind Tennes
see in a franchise l«w. Tie radicals ex
pect to bold tbe power in this state by
infauiout laws of registration, there is
a goodly number ot rads here. They
aro very devoted to their loyal leagues
meetings us much so ss our negroes
was at Dawson Lst year fra wLile, but
thank god, it s :cms from your elections
that you bursted into Whitaker’s clan
! and routed bis mighty hosts, and I hope
that you may keep them scattered to
! the four winds of heaven, till Beymour
& Blair may carry all things before them
They arc waking up in the west, ibeir
friends seems to be confident cf having
success perched upon their banners, a.-d

The Augusta Factory What
Capital iuvested in Cotton
Factories will do.
W* publish c'sewhere sn article from
the Augusta Chronicle & Seniivei, to
which we earnestly oa.ll the attention of
every reader of this pt(*er- We hope
no odc will fail to carefully read and re
member its figures. The enormous
earnings of the Factory is perfectly as
tonishing, and is an unanswerable ap
peal far 'be investment of every surplus
dollar of capital in Georgia, in this k n !
of cnicrpri.e. “Tbo Company starred,”
cays the Cltroni le, “with $60,000 in
c*ftb,*t)d a credit of $120,000 It is
free from debt, with a surplus of nearly
a quarter of a million, and possesses a
prep* r<y worth more than nine bu"dre<t
thousand dollars in greenback*, acquir
ed and paid far by itt tarmngt in a pe
riod of ten yari, over and above the
hand tome mm—amounting to more than
half a million of doff art —returned to iti
ttorkholds in dividem "
We are perfee ly amaxrd at these
statements, this exhibit, but as they are
taken from the reportof President Jack
son, they arc obliged to be true. No
doubt similar eepor's from any aud all
the New England and tbe British Cat
tin Factories would be equally aston
sihing-
Planters of Georg a ! Instead cf toil
ing year by year, and these foreign fac
tories reaping seventy-five per eent ot
your labor, should you not everywhere
over our State erect mannfactories and
turn every pound of your raw material
into cotton cloth and yams? By this
mean* you can make every bale you
raise worth tnyou S3OO instead of $l5O.
Ten of y'-u ean be found in any county
able to raise 860,000, tbe amount the
Augusts Factory started with, and in
tbe abort, space of ten years this will
e»rn $1,700,000, if managed as that
Factory baa been. But suppose you
m alee only one half, or only one-tbird cf
this sum, still it will be most profitable
investment you perhaps ever dreamed of.
These Factories always pay, and and in
the end make, everybody rich oonmet and
with them. They bring industry a 1 and
wealth into communities in a thousand
ways, and shed a beneficial influence all
around them.
Tbero is nothing mvsterious about
them. Tbe houses can be erected is
easily a* dwellings, tbe machinery pur
chased as easily as a plow, and opera
tive* who uoderstaad running them em
ployed as caaiiy aa you can hire any
mechanic.
And this is the path to Georgia s in
dependence, grea ucas and glory I We
will some day travel it. The day will
come when notone bale of raw cotton
will be shipped from the State. Wealth
will then abound on every hand, aod
our population be ten times greater
than it is now We would hasten ihat
day by directiug the attention of the
present generation to their only sure
source of wen !, b and bappines.
The Augustas Foetorf.
We have bceu favored with a c~<py
of the twentieth semi-annual report of
the President of the Augusta Factory,
Wn, E. Jackson, E q., to the nweit
hotders of tbe Company. The success
of this manufacturing company of AguS
to is extraoidrinay Much of that suc
cess, it is true, i* due to fortuitous cir
cumstances—an exti aordioary demand
for goods, caused by tha consumption in
war times under a state of blockade aod
tb* price of eottoo consequent. But,
making all doe allowance fur these
adventitious sources of profit, the report
b< fofe u< exhibits clearly what may be
accomplished in manufacturing at the
South by skill aud good management,
and invites the energies of our people
to the development of this branch oi in
dustry.
Tbe factory property wag originally
purchased from tbe city for 8140,000,
payable in ten annual ios’allments, with
interest from date of purchase. Tbe
The cash capital contributed by tbe
stockholders, amounted to S6O 000,
“which was almost entirejy expended
m the first two year* iu repairs, render
dered necessary by tho condition of the
property."
‘■W* President Jacksm’s
report, “since tbe purchase paid for tbe
entire property without calling on tbe
stockholders for another dellar; added
largely to the property by purchase an 1
building; bought about SIOO,OOO rs
new machinery; increased the capital to
8600,000 by tbe addition of a porti n
of tue surplur; p-. id dividends regular
ly; and have now a property worth the
par valu( , ($6000,000) in gold,” an! a

But we present tbo opera lions tor lbe
last six months as a fair etrndard f r
compitison with like op< ra inua at tL*
centres of manufacturing Norih and
East of us* We have tbe auth rity cf
Urge and skillful manufacturers in tbe
Eastern States fur staling that the op
erations of one of tbe largest mills fur
the last six months show a loss of 2}
cents per pound nn evsry pound of cot
ton manufacto ed; and that those mills
are kept running under lbe hope that
the ensuing year will show a greater
demand fur goods and a lower price tor
cotton; Wcbdeive that a large number
of Eastern mills or now running on
short time, and some have so pped al
together, for the reasons above giaen.
The Augusta Factory during toe last
six mouths ha* paid its etoekhulders two
dividends, amounting to $60,000, or ten
per cent, on its capital, sue earned “to
lbe oredil rs profit and loss account” a

During ibis p* ri* and they have manu
factured 3,888,301 yards cf shirtings,
sheetings aud drills, consuming 1,362,-
571 lbs., or about 2340 bales of cuttoD,
wi:b an everage number of 505 looms
running per day. Tbe ooet of tbe oot
ton consumed was within a fraction of
twenty cents per lb , or about $272,515

aggregrate $519,965 01, leaving goods
valued at $108,639 81 in lb* bauds of

one expec’s an exhibition of beautiful

success and forco* the decision of the
public. In caocludiog our notice of
this report we submit, therefore, this
simple tes'iocony tc the skill aud effi
ciency of its management—a rocapitu
tinn of tb« leading face in the history
of the Augusta factory. The Cmips
ny started with $600,000 in cash and a
credit cf $120,000. It is free fro®
debt witb£a surplus of nearly a quar
ter of a million and pocesses a property
worth more than nine hundred ihousai and
dollars in greenbacks, acquired and
paid for by its earnings in a period of
ten yesrs over and above tbo handsome
sum—amounting to m»rc than half a

It is hardly necessary to sty that thi*
stock is at a premium of fifty per cent. —
