(Her* there wai immense, load, and prolonged cheer »®«) . And, ay oonntrymeß, wo hear inch sentiment* ae theeo received with rap taroo* applause, when we knew that there art the oeatimeuts of every Dem ocratic theSoutbern States, how hutr.ili sting, how mortifying it ia to find even Ben born tmong u«, too, telling the Northern people that we intend another rebellion! llut the North, ia waking up to tbie falsehood, I‘. has, no doubt, had a terrible effect • and ia now to be renewed with desperate energy. Another branch of thi* rcbeme of dtesplioo is to enltivate strifo between tie white and color.d races, by telling the Northern people tbst we are oppressing the color ed and loyal Union people. I speak iesrlcssly, By freinda, became 1 know 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 •an it tbe Democrats own the projierly of this eouuiry, amt they the last men t* try uuotbur war? We don’t wsut you to bo deceived ; we don’t w.ut you betrayed ; we don’t want y.u to be mis led by these miserable oarpetsbag sooun drela. They are also teaching you to hate us. \V ill it do you any good ? Suppose you keep up your Loyal Leagues ; suppose you keep uu haiiug the while people ; suppose you get up a wur, what will become of tue.u misera ble crpoist aggera ?

My colpred friends, 1 warn yon here, tovuight, and iu i oing so I am diaebargiug my duty to yc u—tor 1 con fess that 1 am talking principally to you —there is no unc ia talking to the white people; they can aee what the intenuonv of our enemies are; they have had mote education than you have, and tbe itadi eala cannot get the honest musses ol while people into these Loyal Leagues, to give carpet-baggers places of iruai and profit. But they deceive you and make yon fetl enmity against tbe white people, i appeal -o you to eorno out ot Mioh dark bolts, and stand by tbe peo ple whom you were raised with. Don’t yoa see that it is to the interest of the white people to take cate of the country •ad Ae preserve peace 7 How can you promote peace by believing (be white people y«ur enemies 7 I* is strange that every colored mao does not see the way whiek these carpetsbagjers me leading them.

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 My countrymen, I have detained j jou lunger than I intended 1 have in dulged in a vein of earestness unusu al with me; hut I feel tho weight of the wnrda that I have been shaking and the importance of the subject I have presented to you i have indulg ed in no rhetorical flourishes.

And now we offer foigiveuenn to all who are willing to do right. There has been a time for errors, for dimensions, lor mistakes.

The man who votes the Radical t.ck-1 et should be turever conLmned by' white and black.

Gome up to this platform, my fiiende, with kindness to all who are willing to do rigrit, whatever may have been the errors of the past, with our hands to all who are willing to aid us in this contest, firm and true to the great principles invo ved in it, and the time will tome when our children will rejoice that their fathers proved so equal to the great task which Provi dence has imposed u;>on them.

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 spurt. Let every Colored Ylan Read This. 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. flatosffit Jjflitrnal.

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.

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 if there is anything in work and per scvcrtncc they will certainly succeed I was in St. Louis and through Illinois a week tgo, and tbe Democrats are hav ing routing meetings evsry day and night oiganixing cluhs. We have ne gro sufifi age here, and I suppose never will as the rads are becoming alarmed for fear they cannot control them in voting, aod if they cannot do so away goes ntgro suffrage; for the radicals care a great deal less for him than yon do.— Wrist to me and give me some of tbe Dawson news, my respect* to all friends J. R JANES. 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.
