In as much as the “Journal’' h-s changed hands, the undersigned form ing anew copartnership, would moat respectfully selicit the patronage of the former firm, and ask the friends of the new one to lend a helping hand in the sustenance and furtherance of a j mrnal that will ever keep an eye single to the cauae of Democracy, proclaiming, as serting and maintaining the rights and liberties ol the people, under tbe Con stitution of onr fathers, though the don gcon be its doom. And with a strict adheraoce to truthfulness, wc intend to give yon through tbe columns of the Jocbkal, news from all parts of the conn try, both good and b>d.

Legislature So-Called. During our short stay in Atlanta, we visited tbe concern called the Georgia Legislature, and there for the firwt ti»e j witnessed what we hope never to see again in Georgia—a conglomeration of negroes, mulatoes and white men, amongst the latter, some honorable and tiue men, who we sincerely regret that unavoidable circumstances have forced in such association as the former. W t hope, on their aeconnt, that this con eem may never by ita efforts at legisla tion, become as edioas to our people aa the Convention ao called of like mix ture. We did not see tbe Express Agent,»tiled Governor, nor did we wish to, but with the most poignant sensa tion of shame and regret for the fallen condition of our noble old State. We left, eonsoliog ourselves id the firm be lief that the great dcmocratio party both North and South, would wipe out this blaok stain upon the onee fair fame of noble Georgia. The democratic demonstration at Atlanta, surpassed anything of the kind that it has ever fallen our lot to witness. It was a blow struck by the outraged and oppressed white men of Georgia, that sent terror to the coward ly scamps who are seeking to degrade our glorious Empire State, by elevating themselves to ber high places. God grant that the mammoth hall now in full motion will erush out the last ves tige of these vile scamps, whose pres enee within the borders cf our State is a stench is the nostrils of every honest white son of Georgia. Let every one take an aetive part in exterminating tl is disgusting vermin, ia November next.

Wc have been urging from the beginning tbe impor tancc of forwatd this enterprise, nod should onr ctliseu»fail to carty out tbe suggestions made by some who art feeling a deep interest in the mattsr of erecting a large Cctton Facto y in our midst, we predict they will fc« sorry for it r . Tbe figures below arc wonderful, but as the “Telegraph’’ says, certainly true, as they come from the Augusta Facto ry Company : Tbe Profit* of TOanitfnt luring in the fcoiifli. A little pamphlet of twelve pages be fore us, showing tbe actual peenuiary results of a wcll-maoaged cotton manu facturing business in G o'gia.will bo the theme of the short article which follows. It is a wonderful story, but a true one. It discloses profits upon investment, which exceed anything wc have ever be fjrc heari of in Georgia or elsewhere. It is “the report of the President of the Augusta Factory, (Wn. E. Jackson, E q ,) at Ike aDcual mee ingif Stock holders, 30tb June, I8G8.” The first statement is of operations for tbe previous six months, which aim* gross earnings, (including $3,921.65 in terest,) amounting to $139,432 30. Gross expenses for tbe same period $31,- 898 18, leaving as net prrfits $107,- 534 14. From these profi's two five per cent, dividends, amounting to sixty thousand dollars have been declared, and tbe balance, $47,534.14 passed to profit and lees account, whioh now show! $224,798.22 to ita eredit. Next, the operations for three years, tinee 17th Jane, 1865, the close of tbe war. The true balance in United Stalos currency then ia band, was found to be (100,745 75. Gross earninga to 17th June, 1868, $982,60 fi 57. Gross ex penses, (including $92,086 76 new ma chinery) $448,853 90—profits $484,- 052 67, of which $360,000 hate been paid in dividends, and $!2t.052 67 ad ded to pnfit and loss ace nut. The next is a history of operation* for tea years, dating with tbe origin of the company, which will enable ns to see what the company has dooe, and by how large an investment these results ware accomplished. The factory property, says the rep rt, was purchased of the cry for $140,000, at ten year’s eredit, with interest at sev en per cent., payable seuri-ananallj, and one tenth of the principal annually— the pureba era paying in, as commer cial capital $60,000, which amount, ow ing to th* dilapidated condition of tbe j property, was almost entirely expended on repair*, in the first two years. Here then, is only sixty thousand dollars ac tually invested by the stockholders.— Tbe resnlt of this investment wn can best tell in the very woids of the re port : “We have, since tbe purchase, paid | for the entire property without ealliog on tbe stockholders for another dollar, added largely to the property by pur chase and building ; bought about SIOO,- 000 worth of new machinery; increased the capital to $600,000, by tbe addition of a portion cf the surplus; paid divid ends regularly, and have now a property worth the par value, six hundred tbous and dollars in gold.” We o.nnotstcp to reckon up tbe per ecntnm of increase upon that original investment of sixty thousand dollars.— Indeed, to do it, we must know what dividends have becD paid during these ten years, for they wrre all paid regu larly and no doubt heavily. But it is clear that the aixty thousand dollars, in ten years of business, are now represent ed by six hundred thousand dollars of the most profitable stoek property to be found, besides two hundred thousand dollars cash on hand in profit and loss account It is an extraordinary exhibit, and should stimulate men who are hoarding, to seek n similar investment of their money, where it will not only benefit these, but benefit society by furnishing trade and employment. We are so accustomed to groan over lbs poverty of Georgia that few are aware what private hoards have been laid by for the past few years in gold— in easily eonvertiMs stocks, etc. We should not be surprised (from wbat we have heard,) if there were a good deal upwards of hi If a million in that ahape in the hands of Maoon bankers alone It is “esespe money.” Such is tbe feel ing of inseearity—such the apprehen sion ts danger—that people put by their own hoards to ran away npoa in case of s geoeral eotlspsc. Let them learn from the above what they may be doing, and consult their own advantage and the public security, by sueh investments as shall bring white population and basi nets to Georgit.

Upon resuming our pernmnl liberty wc, the uniters,good, known ns the Oolmiiliu* )>risowm, deem it proper to publish '.ho fo'lowing brief uucount of our wrest and confinement by the mil tary ituhq,ritio«. During the night of the 30th of March, George VV. Ash burn was assassinated io a low negro brothel in Columbus, Gn. On the Gth day of April thirteen citizens wero ar rested by Capt Mi ls of the United (States Aimy. On the 19th they were released under bond, fiffir of this num ber have never been rearre.ted The rpan Mills stated that he did not know the charge against Ihe party arrested but no one believed him, and the fact is only mentioned to show tbe charac ter of tbe j roccedingß. On the 14th of May four arrests were made, on the 24th f"ur, on the 21 of June lour more and on tho 16th seven, followed the next day by two others. On the 241 h another, and the last arrest occurred. These aires's wore made by the order of Gen. Meade. Several ol the undersigned have in their possession written orders which show this fact The utreats without warrant, affidavit or charge. No preliminary examination was held. W e were kept in to'.al ignorance of the ex parte evidence against us, and the names of our accusers were concealed from us. No one who tips followed the trial will be surprised at this apparent neglect. While we were clamoring for the charges against us, Joe Brown, Whit ley, Major Sinylh and others were sub orning Betts, Marshall, Bonnet and AmoDdu PaMerson The evidence for the prosecution acknow ; edges that dis cl suies were made under threats of imprisonment This is bad enough, but a worse feature is that the date of these disclosures is placed by the wit nesses themselves subsequent to the ar. rest of a majority of the prisoners.— Tbe question naturally arises upon what foundation were the arrests! based? Os tbe twenty-two persons arrested on and since the 14lb of May four wert suborned by tortury, bri bery and threats Nine, after confine ment in felons’ cells and much sufier ing, were released without any explan ation whatever. The remaining nine are the signers of his card. The pr.son rs amstcl in May were, at Fort Pulaski lelore they were re moved to A’lunta. Their cells were] as and irk, as dangerous, without ventil-j lation, and but 4 feet by 7 No bed or blakets were furnished. The ra tions consisted of a slice of fat pork three times each week, and beef too unsound to eat the remaining days. A piece of bread for each meal, soup for dinner at:d coffee for breakfast, finish ed the bill ol fare. An old oyster can was given each prisouer, and iu this vessel both coffee and soup were served. It may be said that tte sol diers received nothing better, but these citizens were not soldiers, and their friends were able, willing and anxious to give them eve y comfort; they w re denied the privilege Refused all com munication with their friends, relatives or counsel, they were forced to live m these horrid cells night and day, pros trated by heat, and Maidened by my riads of mosquitoes. The calls ff na ture were attended io iu a bucket, winch was removed but ouco in twen ty four hours. At McFbcron Barracks we were placed in cells five feet eleven inches wide by ten feet long. Thcije cells were afurwards divided, reducing their widih to two feet ten inches. This is terri ble, butt Tue. Upon ihe arrival of tbe officer sent from Washington to inves tigate the arrests, the partitions were removed. Neither bed or bedding was furnished for from two to five days We were not permitted to see our friends, family or counsel’until after me morials to Congress had aroused the whole country to the enormiiy of the outrage. Even after this, our letters, treatbing the affection and sympathy of a wife or mother, were subjected to in spection. The prison sink was imme diately at our cell doors and emitted a stench that was horrible. At times when some humane soldier was willing to transcend his orders and give ns a breath of fresh air to soothe our distended bursting veins, we would ask him to close the door, preferring to risk suffocation rather than endure tbe intolerable smell Daring all this time we were ignorant of the charges against us. Os course, we accepted the common rnmor that our arrest grew out of the murder of Asbburn; but after our counsel was permitted to visit us, no definite line of defense could be planned, in the absence of all specifications. VVe were furnished with a opy of tbe charges against us on the 27th of June, onr trial having been set for the 29th. The intervening day was Sunday, and we were 140 miles from tbe soene of murder and the resi dence of onr witnesses. (Several of tbe undersigned never saw the detective Whitley antil weeks after tbe.r arrest. When they did meet him be never presumed to treat them with disrespect. Recent developments, new to us, have shown him to be infamous, and his treat meat of suborned witnesses will be proven by those who know the facta.— Onr friends and the press have not ex aggerated the barbarity with which we were treated, bat they should not throw the responsibility upon a contemptible detect.ve, who would only glory in the notoriety his infamy would have given him. We fly for higher game. Gen. Meade told Gen. B. H. Chilton (during the war General Lee’s Adjutant,) upon the eve of bis departure trom Atlanta, that he had left fall iostiuctious with Geo. Sibley, concerning the disposition of the Columbus prisoners. These in structions controlled our treatment, and leave do issue as to the question of res ponsibility. At the proper titpe, and in a manner flat will c<> ; intrude upi your valuable space, wc will make gid our position, and will show eoucluAiriy that this un paralleled persecution was attempted solely and entirely for plitieal purpose*. The officers and soliera of the gar rison wore as kind as «eir orders would permit, and rcspcctful/vith but few ex ception*. Gon -Dunn cnnrtisy dnring the trial, especially as-r Dukes’ alibi, was iu strrng contrastvitb the viudio live, ungenerous and Utnauly conduct of Joe Brown. Os the able and uoring efforts of our counsel, we cannot spak in too high praise . To the people t Georgia, and especially to our good frieds in Atlanta, wc return our sincere thuks for their sympathy and assistance.

We have to record tbe inauguration in the e'ty of Macon last night, of that war which the hell bounds of Radicalism io Georgia have been work ing so zealously for many months to bring about. Two peaceable and un offending citizens of this ci'y, Messrs. Jas. and Wm. Richardson,—the first named a maimed Confederate soldier —were set up n n without provocation by a mob of yelling black devils, and fearfully beaten, cut, and burned with lighted torches Ihey are both now lying confined to tbeir beds, and scarcely able to move. The facts, as w e lenrn them, are as follows : There was a torch light pro cession and speaking a', the City Hall, by negroes, the few scoundrels with white faces and who lead them on, and upon the c y being raised that they had been fired at, tbe mob rushed at these two youn s men. They prtvosied their innocence but it did'not avail them. The demons closed in upon them. There was no help near, and v w can ooly woDder they wera not killed outright/ No shot was fired at all, ard it is be lieved that this cry w as only a pretence to kill Wm. Riehardson for being a Democratic challenger at the last elec tion. We have no time to say more, except that these peop e have a mass meeting to day, and may attempt oth er outrages. We spieak as to brave men when we say : Be ready f>b them.— Macon Messenger 28 th. In Dresden there is an iron egg, the history of which is something like this : A young Prince sent this iron egg to a lsdy to whom he was betrothed. She received i. in her hands and looked at it with disdain. In her indignation that he should send her such a gift, she cast it to the earth. When it touched tbe ground a spring, cunning ly hidden in the egg, Oj ened, and a silver yolk rolled out. Sbe touched a secret spring in the yolk, and a rolden chicken revealed ; she touched a spring in the chicken, ana a crown wus found within ; she ’ouebed a spring in the crown, and whbin it was found a dia mond wedding ring.
