Rosv cheeks and forehead fair.
Coral lips and sunny bair,
Hands 1 ike lilljes when the sun,
Sheds his gold their snows upon.
Violets waking to the light
Never were so pure and bright.
Than those eyes, beneath the lid,
Where so oft their light is hid.
Thus thy portrait have 1 drawn
In thy womanhood’s btight dawn;
Thus the picture standeth now,
With no shadow on its brow.
When “Old Time” shall steal apace,
Changing all thy lovely face ;
Hide, 0 hide, thy gentle heart,
From the mouldy spoilers art.
Keep it warm with love like mine—
Keep it good with thoughts 1 ke thine
Thus then shall both morn, and night
Keep it hidden from his sight.

Our people will souu learn the les
sons laught by all history, sacred and
profane, that he who undertakes con
tracts, at and agree- upon valuable o >u»id
eia'iuu rtcetved either of mun.-y or
properly, to pay for or make restitution
of the saute, will be compelled to per
form the stipulations of bis contract or
surrender a sufficient amount of his
pioperty to stiisiy ail damage which
may have resulted from his breach of
f.ith. The laws ofuocivdiz and country
or as to that, heathau or barbarian, so
fat as we know, will permit their peo
ple to brake plight!d faith wjthout tna

they be p iu'e<l at with the fingers ttl
scorn and disgrace in all time to c. me
This * a great truth. »nd Georgians,
. fall classi s, should ponder it w. ll—
that the strict and rigid enforcement of
all legal contracts is absolutely necessa
ry tor the Safety ol 8 ciety.
We kuow that many persons are la
belling under tbe delusion that, as a
large portion of the indebtedness of tbe
country has been put Into the shape ot
judgements and that such judgements
bang issued out of S ate courts, canuot
be enforced except through ihe agenc)
and insirumeutaltties of the Slate tr bu-
Hals, and that consequently no trajisf, r
of such judgements to non residents
would give to the holder thereof any
greater rights than those previously
held by tbe original holder or plaintiff.
Here, again, is a fatal mistake These
judgements and the laws under which
they are secured to the owners thereof,
can and will be enforced in the Federal
Cour's.
By reference to the 3o*b section of
•he Bankrupt Ltw, it will be seen that
any transfer, assignment or conveyance
of any part of a debtor’s property tode
feat any or eith-r of his creditors, con
stitutes an act of Bankruptcy, and sub
j.c's the debtor to the provisions of the
bill which are applicable to involuntary
Bankrupts. Under this section the at
tempted inforcemeat of a jutiinr judgi
ment and, for instance, founded upon
a contract made prior to the Ist of June,
1865, or a puyment or a settlement of
such judgement by the debtor the
confession of a judgement on a contract
made siuce Juue, 1865, and the Courts
have eveo gene so far as to bold that a
payment in cash, or in a bill of l xchange
or a draft, to a junior creditor by > ne in
insolvent oiroutu<tances, would create a
condition ot Bankruptcy.
How, then, can any deb or in Gei r
gia hope to save his pr perty or pr- vent
its legal appropriati >n for the payment
of his deb's? As soon as be atti tnp’s
to make a purchase or sale of pr p«rr\,
er tn pay a debt created since J une,
1*65. uis creditors, wl o, under tin p> ■ •
visions nCtbe repudiation humbug, nr.
debarred from pursuing him in the.
State Courts, will force him in'o Bank
ruptcy, and take inimediatftj from his
possession and coutrol all of his proper
ty, bo'h real and personal, and have it
piae and in the hands of an assignej to
ne sold for the benefit of all his credit
or* without regi rti to the proviui uis ot
ihe repudiation swindle. Thi Bi
lion cstead Bill will not ass rd toe de
ceiv'd and injured debtor the 1> it-t re
lief. The tiaiiLrupt law seeures an
sets apart! by its J4'h 8 ctioo, for the
use of debtor’s family, all the property
which by toe laws of tbe Sta'-es are ex*

empt from levy and sale, and in addi
tion thereto, at the option of the assign
ce, five hundrd and liars worth of other
property. The prevailin', of the Con
vention Homestead Bill can only tpply
to and aff.rd relief from the lien of
such debts as have been contracted since
tbe passage of that, nrdirmnec or after
the ratification of the Constitution

years.
Thus we fi id that in any aod every
| legal view that can be taken of tbe so
callid relief ordinance, the coriclu-ioD
forces itself up. ous that it can ass rd
no relief to our people. M re than this
we have shown that it is cunningly dr

Air. Lucius Monroe —
Dear Sir;— If would, no doubt, af
ford you great satisfaction to hear
from me with respect to Africa. I ur
nved on the coast, of Africa on the
24th of December 1867, hut did not
reach the place, of my destination until
the 4th of January 1868. then in the
barb rof Grand B.irsu and on the
sth 1w as invited ashore to preach to
the Congregation of Rev A. P Davis,
pastor ol Ilia first Baptist Church in
the city ol Buchanan, in the morning,
ami to the Congregation of the M. K.
( hutch, in the evening, Rev. Walker
Bruncfkin, j nst.-r.
1 am in.w in Aliica; I have seen the
inntJ J 1 have walked over some por
tions of it; 1 have seen ninny of the
fruits oi the land also, ninny Vegeta
les Common to the country, which
would he mo tedious to mention. 1
have seen the I’nlm tree ot which .o
milch is said, — I have been eating my
meals cooked w th oil made ol the nuts
of the Palm tr e. Palin Butter is
made of he nuts of same. It makes
a very nice dish.
From the same, I saw a cabbage
and turnip, and had the pleasure, ot
eating some for diniiei, this day, 1 can
not lurther desert 1 e it, bu l it is true as
- tell you. I find that a 1 Mr R. F.
Hill said about Africa is tiue 1
could havo had no id. a of what I
beard of before 1 in me to Af.ica, and
now no longer doul> I have seen
them, and handled the tilings which 1
only heard aln.ut.
1 am now ivmg with brother Davis,
the past, r ol our church for 1 and rny
wife, and a number of others of the
company ‘.bat cun o to Aliica, have
j' ined (bis i hurch, —the first Baptist
t hurefi of Buchanan. The Sacrament
was administered last Lord's day an i
We bad a fine ime. 1 arsis'ed brother
Davis in administering the Sncreruent
ol 'he Lord's Supper. Brother Davis
now resides on his farm. 1 have w alk
ed thiough hi- coffee farm and or
chard. The trees have a vario yof
stages, i’ou may see on some trees
iiIM,
a uns just and oj ped. aud the o tier part
ol the same tree in blossom. I see
green-corn nnd green peas now gmw
■ng. I uuve rind two good tno sea of
American pumpkins raised or: brother
Davis’ farm He has a variety of
Iruils and vegetables, now to be seen,
too many to nient on The Orrucb
Cule and Mustard, &o.
What 1 teli you is true. You may
rely upon it. 1 believe tl is is the laud
lor the colored race Here you may
have true liberty. I believe the Lord
intended we should live and die in this
land It is my candid opinion that
you woulu a 1 d<> well to eolne to tin -
country, you will iben have rest, and
with iudustiy and enterprise you can
make a living here, ns w e I as you cun
in any country. Ine and is go and, and
only wants i ullivutioti 1 have seen
wha the land wi 1 do, not bting culti
vated, and of cour u, if the land was
cultivated us it shou and be. it Wnu and
y eld the better Besides that, there
are men here who came to this coun
try an 1 by ihdusiiy and euterjirtae
have become well to do.
I now close l.y n qu- st tig you to give
my Ch is iuti love un i etleetloll to all
mi pleaching brethren ol an delioiiiiii •
turns, purt.culurly to Judge Cook, An
irony V\ iiliains, and Euinonu Bui y 1
a-k an inteiest n the prayers of yon ad,
and i Will not forget to pray h r ail ot
you.
It i» my candid opinion that it is
wrong to preach against pcop e coming
to his coun ry. I appears to be fight
ing iigains (-tod. 1 have written u>
you because I have special confidence
ill yo j. It is my earn st lequest tliat
you have this le ter lead iu ail the
Churches ns my views and opinion
iu regal'd to this country; aud that is
to say tha 1 do not think Unit our race
can prosper in your eoun'ry, as 1 think
their time among the whites is at an
end
We lost one grown person on 'he
passage. Mi's Johnson, and a child
