Onr telegraphic dispatches a day or two since gave note of the arrest of two youths, charged with the crime of burgla ry and highway robbery in the vicinity or Jacksonville, Fla. The papers of that dty bring us Itall particulars of this sad story. Fowler, one.of the parties, is nine teen years of age, the other Is only eigh teen and is the son of Col. McDonnell, a prominent lawyer of Jacksonville. These two yontbs alone bad committed a series or robberies by breaking open stores in Jacksonville, Green Cove Springs and other places, and bad successfully robbed several persons on the public high ways by night, in more than one case re sorting to the use of firearms. They were at length arrested for robbing the post-office in Jacksonville, and made a full confession. The father of young MacDonnell, after bis son’s confession to him, tamed him over to the officers of justice. Having performed this duty as a citizen, he, as a father, employed counsel to ’ defend the unhappy boy who bad brought rein and disgrace to bis family. It is stated that MacDonnell has for years been reading all the blood and thunder literature he could lay bis bands on in the shape of dime novels, and from this source drew the inspiration which baa landed him in be clutches of the law. As In the wioter season Jacksonville Is overrun with thieves, burglars, robbers, bunko men and gamblers from the North ern cities, it is more tbsn probable that hese youths were, to a greater or less ex tent, demoralized by these associations But for the fact that the vigilance of the police has stopped them In a career of crime, they might in a abort time have brought up on the gallows. It is a sad and sickening story, and we present its main points, In the hope that It may serve as a warning to other youths who are dis posed so mock at parental authority, and to despise the power of the law. A Change of Opinion. Some time slnee a Mr. E. P. Van Me ter, of Cblllicothe, Ohio, addressed a let ter of Inquiry tff an officer of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia rail road. This letter was turned over to Col. G. XL Adair, of Atlanta, who a# swered It in a very plain, truthful and practical way. The Atlanta Constitution publishes the letter of Col. Adair, from which we take this extract as to the ne gro. He writes: Colored field laborers can be hired for the retrain tot 10 per month, and rations sop- piled; or *12 to il5 per month U they furnish themselves. The great majority oi the negroes, however, prefer to work for a portion of the crop, and are generally averse to hiring for wages. White men can seldom he hired for wages, and when they can, negroes are gener ally preferred. The colored man Is more do- die and tractable. His Intelligence Is not equal to that of the white man, and when left to work by himself, even with the most careful directions, his work, asa rule. Is not as mtla- fedorily performed as that by white men, hat 11 the proprietor remains with and directs his work all the time, pays promptly, according to agreement, and deals justly, the negro is the best laborer In the world. In this way more work, and better work, can be obtained from him than any other ctase of mankind, and he will be better contented while rendering it This contains the entire troth in regard to the Georgia negro who la disposed to work. The Constitution also produces this endorsement: The status ol the colored people given by Colonel Adair b. In my opinion, nearer the truth than any statement I have ever read on the subject Jatmwko.- It is gratifying to know that “Jayhawk- er,” upon further acquaintance and expe rience has found reason to alter his pre conceived opinions npou tho subject. The discussion of the matter does not ap pear to have resulted la barm. Foro parents will be pleased to learn that the 8tate University to about to turn out a race of intellectual giants.

It would be Improper for mo to do so. I wUl only say that I do not do- serve such harsh and cruel criticism, and I be lieve that time, as It rights aU wrongs,will right mine alio. I accept, with great pleasure, the gratify ing honor which the society has conferred upon me, and beg of you to express my thank* I remain, dear sir, Tcry sineerely yonrs. This action ot tho Demosthcnian Socie ty occurs some days ter the killing of Rountree, and at a time when Mr. Speer was being discussed In no complimentary manner by the press of the city of Athens and that of other cities ol the State. This discussion if necessarily personal in some respects, was, in fact, political. It t directed at the political conduct of Mr. Speer In the past, bis then political attl tude and bis probable future political ac tion. ifevery respect the discussion was proper and legitimate, and recent events bad made it imperatively necessary. The press was in its right place and was in the performance of a plain duty. It Mtd made a sharp and incisive political issue which was to be met and decided by the voters of the ninth Congressional dis trict at the coming election. A society consisting ol students of the State University had no right to become a party in any way, shape or form to the case as That this society should have elected Mr. Speer to an honorary position not of Itself intrinsically wrong. It was natural, that if he wished it the camarad erie of a society of which he is a member ahonld have responded with the profert of cheap honors. But this correspond ence develops something more. It ex hibits the fact that by some process not made public, it has been used in its cor porate or at least aggregate capacity, to appear in the public prints at a serious and critical juncture in the political ca reer ol Mr. Speer as his endorser and de fender. Tha ordinary run of people will not lay undue stress upon the fact that a parcel of college boys regard Mr. Speer as a giant, as compared with those who may deem it a nght and a duty to call into question his political words and actions, bnt the people of the Stats of Georgia will be apt to receive with dissent and displeasure the attempt of these same boys to be come factors in a political discussion. For ourselves, we are free to say that we do not believe tbe unwise and Intem perate language of Mr. Corresponding Secretary Frazer conveys tbe deliberate opinion of tbe Demostbenlan Society. Mr. Speer may bave been wily enough to make this so appear in a moment of sore tronble to himself, and Mr. Corresponding Secretary Frazer may sincerely subscribe to all that ho has Inscribed, but we are not, from a knowledge of the parentage and training of some of tho boys who compose that society, prepared to believe that this note baa received their endorse ment and approval. It is scarcely necessary for us to say that we cannot harbor a suspicion that this correspondence reaches tbe light of day with the sanction and consent of the facnlty of the State University. Bnt since It has done so it shonld at tract their attention and action. If by reason of social or political associations, Mr. Speer to enabled to nso tbe State University or any portion' of it to further bis personal and political ambition and designs, and tbe facnlty to unwilling or impotent to stay him, then the trus tees of tbe Institution should take imme diate steps to eradicate a practice which can be pursued only to the speedy and permanent ruin of tbe University of Geor gia. Tbe Ill-timed mistake and enthusiasm of one or' of several boys may bp looked npou with lenient ejes, but tbe evideui avidity with which Mr. Speer seizes upon the occasiou to display himself as an in jured Innocent, and to indulge In Uriah Heapisb rot about his ambition and desire to serve his country, to disagreeable evi dence of that unappeasable selfishness on his part, which would discredit his alms raster, to serve his personal and political Coxoxxl Sunuvaw, late of tbe prizo ring, baa met hto match. Mr, William Hagarty, a Boston barber, thrashed him soundly for slandering Mrs. Hagsrty. Mr. Hagarty dispensed with hu little razor and polished the bully off with bis fists.

Tox JjarxBSOJf, in one of his letters published by Congress, nays “tint when tho farmers of the oouutry are directed from Washington when to sow 'and when to reap tho chances are that we ehall go without bread.”' It ie to be presumed from this that Thomas was opposed to the Hi Jim of the pnblio pumpkin patch being raised to the rank, pay and emoluments of a cabinet offioer. Well, we are a long way rmlsM far Sit# Bins of Olhsn A few nights since there was a celebra tion in Washington dty in honor of John Brown, the fanatic whose soul, according to song, 4 *8tin goes marching on."J Frederick Douglkss was, on this occaaon, as upon all other colored occasions in that dty, tbe chief orator. Dongles* Is a man of parts, impressive in appearance, and a fluent speaker. By reason of his roman tic history, hto escape from slavery, hto education at the North, ahd hto politi cal training in that section, he has become an acknowledged leader of his people. While be to rarely violent and extreme, he is always partisan, and in this respect to not wise. Hto people cannot work out their destiny by a blind adherence to an organization which, In tbe progress of a great war, came to be the immediate instrument of their eman- dpation. They cannot better themselves by drawing a political dividing line be tween themselves and the people of tbe Sbutb, among whom they bave elected to live. Wo say elected, for the reason that tbe negro evinces a determination to live here. The world to open to him. A young republic on the coast of Africa, which, by 1U constitution, forever prohib its tbe possibility of the swsy of the Cam xaslan within its borders, is Inviting .him to come and jralid it up with hto brawn and hto brain. But be disregards the invltatio:., with all of its grand possibilities, and prefers to remain here. It to bis undoubted right to do so. Hiving msdo his choice, it is his duty to cultivate the confidence at>d friendship of the people amongst whom he easts hto destinies. This idea does not seem to have Impressed Itself upon Fred' eiick Douglass. He was too Intimately connected with the anti-slavery agitation not to have become an abolitionist in principle and in temper. He is too old to fight and conquer hto prejudices, and to not the wisest counsellor or the ssiest leader for tbe Southern negro. In an eulogy on old John Brown consid erable latitude of ihctaght and expression are allowable. Now, since tbe sgltati&n of slavery has passed, tbe sober judgment of tbe world regards him as a crazy man, who shonld have ended hto life in a re treat for the insane, rather than on the gibbet. Better-thinking people are shocked that Kansas should select him ss a model for a statue in the National Gal lery, even though Kansas to perforce con fined to a very limited choice. There Is no necessity that the negro should canon ize him. In the course of hto oration, Djmglass said the “raid npon Harper’s Ferry was one of the most cold-blooded ever planned, and all tho circumstances go to make It tbe most aggravated ever recorded. When an emperor Is* blown to atoms, or an oppressive land lord In Ireland Is shot, it to viewed with detestation, but when tbe facts are taken in consideration with what has gone be fore it is viewed differently. So with this raid; vlewed{ . '[attending circum stance*, we regard it differently. This raid was no worse then ome of the ex- a committed on Sherman’s march to the sea. Nothing is not reaped that has □ot first been sown. He who sows tbe wind most expect to reap tbe whirlwind. God is not mocked, and whatsoever a man sows he shall reap. The difference between the moral and physical world is not so marked, yet the harvest will never- sj come. Here, as elsewhere, there are century plants, and their Traits will urely come. So, my friends, deeper down than old John Brown we must look. The fruit was reaped from two hundred years of blood and bondage.” This characterization of tbe Harper’s Fer ry raid Is true, and hia comparison of It to the outrages of. Sherman’s bummers to apt. may be true, totfc that these were part of the harvests to be reaped from the institution of slavery. If so, has not tbe South expiated her portion of tbe offense? Most the negro persecute and punish her further, by joining tbe lowest elements of her society in another raid to overthrow the virtue, Intelligence and worth upon which her prosperity to based? And if the proposition as laid down by Douglass be true, why should the South suffer for tbe sins of others ? She was op posed at the outset to African servitude. It was put upon her by tbe men of New England, who had grown rich in the slave trade, and bad parted with their slaves only when they bad cessed to be profita ble. Ibe laws of nature, we are taugbt to believe, are equable in their execution We are told that the rain falls npon the just and the unjust. The Christian faith holds that the laws of the Almighty are executed in tbe very essence of justice. Where then to the punishment for the New England slave traders, the ancestors of the men who followed John Brown and the bummers, who carried fire and sword to tha happy homes and the fair fields of the South ? If the Southerner had to be punished for bolding property in slaves under a consti tutional guarantee, to the New Eng lander to go unwhlpt of justice who sent hto ships laden with rum to the African coast to bay and to kidnap the negro ? Douglass may believe this to be all right, and he may impress his belief upon those of his people who listen to him. But when he sows in their minds and hearts tbe seed of hatred to tbe white men of this country, he but prepares for a harvest that be may not live to see garnered, but that will as surely ripen and fall, as that the seasons como and go. Atlanta and tbe Bmalt-Pox. The Atlanta correspondent of tho Sa vannah New having written a letter •either twenty-tour hours too soon or too late, detailing a boirfblo account of small pox In Atlanta, has brought tho Conetitur lion to tbe front. We publish the state ment and denial In another column. Tho correspondent alluded to failed to/sub- slantlate Ills statements, and could back them up by no higher authority than Pledger, tte negro politician and present surveyor of the port. Wo accept the statement of tho Constitution as ^con clusive of the matter. «The smalT-pox is In Atlanta, and generally con fined i to negroes. Th]v to the result of the fact that a large portion of the ne gro population of that city is very badly housed, and to the further fact, that they have neglected and refused to protect tbenuelves against tbe disease by vacci; nation. The city authorities of Atlanta are makiug an energetic fight against the scourge, »nd will doubtless .succeed in stamping it out. Both the Constitution and the dty authorities are dealing in this matter fairly with tbe public, and the exaggerated rumors afloat are far beyond tbe real facts. Scaatar Sills CowdtU«B.

Mb. Robebt Tamsill, a prominent dis gusted Mahoneite of Virginia, rises to mark: “It is as much impossible to make Virginia a Republican State as it is to make Tnrkey a Christian, country. That’s all.” We may be permitted to second the motion by adding, that’s enough. Gobhah observes: “ Tbe red man should share with tbe whites in the bless ings of civilization, including the fallows.” The red man, not having a vote, gets his share of tbe rougher part of civilization, bnt Gorham is unwilling that tho black man with a ballot, ehall enjoy a bank in the penitentiary.

JUKLLE JBtEADE. There was a system in vogue before the war which, we believe, filled the purposes for which It was Intended, Wo do not remember to have ever heard any complaint against that system— we mean, the incarceration of criminals with in the walls of the penitentiary. The State found work for the violators of Its laws within those walls, and she can use the same system to advantage now.—IForf* CountyStar. The State did have a penitentiary before the wnr, in which prisoners were confined at hard labor. The system was onerous and nnsatisfactory, and was the cause of grievous complaint Over and above the nroceeds of tbeir labor the convicts cost tite State annually one hundred and forty dollars each. Then there were compara tively few convicts, now they are likely to inoreaso rather than diminish in numbers. If the lForfASfar can produce the figures which will show that the State can build a penitentiary and work the convicts therein to “advantage,” it will have solved a prob lem that bo far bos baffled our legislators. It is easy to rail against the present system; the difficulty is to provide a better, safer and cheaper one. ImcEDiaTELT in advance of Jeff Long’s political convention, which formulated one of its grievances against tho Democratic party of Goorgiainthe shapo of a resolu tion domanding greater educational facili ties, there was laid in this city the oorner stone of an asylum for the blind of the colored race, where they can ba oared for and eduoatsd to the extent of their oapaci ties. A Democratic Bourbon legislature inaugurated this charitable work and drew the monoy for it from tho public treasury, A colored minister was the orator of the occasion. As an offset to tho resolution of a lot of professional politicians, we give his words on that occasion, from his speech, which is published in the Savan- nnh Echo, withou tjeomraont. He says: Tho educating of the African race is going forward, all over tho State of Georgia; and the Intelligence is Increasing everywhere among our people. The arts are flourishing and the science has won new trophic*, for whlell we return a thousand thanks to the Legislature and the good people’ of Georgia, and In behalf of tho kind citizens of tho Central City, In which wo lay the foundation stono’ for tho building of a Colored Academy for tho Blind In tho State ot Georgia. May tlio God of Abra ham protect tho city of Macon from pestilence, from .contagious disease and famine. And may the good people of this city rise higher where sunshine streams In heavenly friendship ith nil the nations of the earth. The colored voter must choose as be tween the pastor and tbe politician. He cannot educate bis children by striking down the hands of tlioie who aie building school houses an 1 pacing teach ers. ’ i steamed away to the east a beautiful view waa presented. About ns lay one of the finest bays in the world, and in it several htmdrod ships loading with lumber for every eountry in the civilized world. Away in the distance gleamed the forts, and plunging across tbe blue waters were game little tugs towing ont rafts of lumber to tha waiting vessels. My attention was called to a full rigged chip, whoso every sail was set Before a stiff breeze she had passed the harbor gates and was coming down tha bay like a thing of life. As she neared us, down came the topsails, then others, nntil, stripped of her white]wing«, she lifted high her spars and swung round, graoefulty responsive to the plunging anchor. Our little steamer going eastward soon left tbe shipping in the rear. Pass ing from Pensacola bay, we crossed the en trance of Escambia bay and entered the B ackwater river, whoss low wooded shores half hid the network ot bays, ba*ina and inlets, whioh on all sides intersect the country. Twenty-five miles from Pensaco la, we paesed up to the wharf and dropped anchor—that is, “hitohed on to a po8t,”as a Georgia negro on board re marked. The tittle village named is situ ated on both sides of the river, and con tains about one thousand inhabitants. We are located cn the south side. On the top of tbe bluff, which horseshoes a blue basin of water a half mile in diameter, is S«ntb Milton, and a prettier situation I have never seen. The road runs between us aud the basin, and tbe blue waves which roll in from tbe river through the inlet just oppo site where I sit, break almost against the road-bed. Only a half-dozen families live in South Milton, and their residences, sur rounded by magnolias, front immediately nnon this body of water* from which a cover-ending breeze, cool and refreshing, springs and wander*. , The new railroad b of oourse the big item here. It is called the Pensacola and Atlantic* Becin'nint; at the first named place it will ran dne east to Chattahoochee, a little town on the Appalachicola river and the terminus of tho Jacksonville, Pen sacola and Mobile railroad. The new railroad is being built by A. J. Lane A Co., and is progressing rapidly. By July 1st the grading will bo finished, and by October 1st the track laid. The company named as building the road have contracted lor about two-thirds of it. Tbeir work begins at Milton, and thirtoen miles have been flubbed and trains are running. Track b being laid at the rate of a half-mile per day by a machine constructed for that purpose. Itb a simple contrivance, bnt very effective. A dozen fiat cars are loaded with rails, plates, cross-ties. The engine is in the rear. On the tide of each flat b a trough, in the bot tom of which are iron rollers. At tbe end of the train the trongh on the lelt n exten ded forward twenty feet by means of a light derrick. About thirty-five men oper ate the machine, and each man has just a certain thing to do at a certain time. I will describe the whole prooees. The signal man gives the word, and the train is shov ed up to thtend of the raib that have been laid.’ Two mpn throw a cross-tie i>.to tho left hand trough, and others raft it down to the scene of action. As it (hoots ont two men catch it and put it in position. The cross-ties come only a few feet apart, and when they cover a space thirty feet long, a steel rail b fired ont from the other trough and thrown into position. Almost before it strikes the ground the man whose dnty it b to join the ends with plates has them adjusted and riveted, while a half dozen hammers ore raining down blows and spiking the raib into position. The time occupied in laying a rail and its cross- ties in position, spiking and rivet ing, b just one minute. The country b very favorably situated for a rail road, bnt there are some sections specially difficult. Thus, the bndge across Escambia bay is to bo two and a half miles long, and the length of the pika now being driven is eeventy feet Mr. Nisbet Wingfield, a young gentleman twenty-one years of age, a fine engineer and great favorite, has charge of the bridge. Itb abont one-third complete. Forty-five miles from Pensacola is a ont forty-seven feet deep and from which 176.- 0tO cubic yards of dirt were to be removed. I visited the spot re.terday and beheld more improved machinery at work. Iron carte, with the body swung under tbe wheels, are n-ed. Filled with dirtthey can be easily pulled by two males. They hold a little more than one-half a cubic yard of soil. The gain of time b alf in the load ing. A portable engine stands in the cut, and upon an iron dram, standing in front otit and controlled by a lever and clutch, is coiled a long, heavy chain. A small boy. riding a mule trots him np and hooks the chain to hb “snatch” and drags it down to where a cut has just been driven into position facing the engine, perhaps one hundred and fifty feet away. The long chain b booked to tho cart tougue. a lever lowers the body fist on tbe ground, the engine be gins to . tarn the drum, tbe chain winds, mules, negroes and cart dart forward toward tbe engine, tbe cart plowing ur> a load for iteelf. The lever is jammed down when tbe cart halts, and the body lifted from the ground. It has thus been loaded without a pound’s strain on the male, and in less than fifteen seconds. Work in all the departments b being pushed-as rapidly as in those de- ssribed. There are on tbe one hundred and five miles mentioned between fifteen bnndred and two thousand hands at work. They are encamped at various points in tho piney woods (it would be hard to find any other sort), and are the happiest people in tho world. The Pensacola and Atlantic railroad b built with State aid. Florida gives to the incorporators twenty thousand acres ti the mile, altercate sections within six miles of tho right of way, I believe, but wherever any of thb land has been entered the company can select any Stcto lands it cm find. It gets in all nearly four million acre*. The Loubville and Nashville rail road takes enough bonds to bnild and eqnip the road, and 65 percent of Restock. Thb gives tbe Louisville and Nashville control, and leaves tho incorporator* 46 per cent net profit. Tho land, as far oj I havo been, consists principally ot pine barren*, sup porting gophers aud Florida crackers, but I am told 1 have been over tho worst sec tion, and that as a large portion has al- rendy been entered, rich bads elsewhere will bo taken. The road will form an im portant lir.e, and complete tho plans laid out by tha Loubville and Nashville. You will remember the Straggle between the Central and the Louisville and Nashville for possession of the Montgomery and Eu- faula railroad, and how that littio eighty mile lino brought $2,100,000 before the railroad boom began. Indeed, the tale of that same rot-d inaugurated ibe present Southern railroad boom. It was a move which, when made, brought on the multi tudinous struggles to checkmate, which have for several years been the ruling newspaper topics Balked iu its efforts to reach the coast, the Loahville aud Nash ville tried several plans, and finaliy settled on u road from Pensacola to Jacksonville? Tho charter hold b> the Pensacola and At lantic afforded an opportunity, and this new road was begun.

We took a conveyance at 4 o’clock and rode (even miles over a beau tiful turnpike, along which were handsome :arm-hoi*sea and magnificent parks, across limpid streams.

Dr. Potter saya be never saw anything mors beantifnl in Europe. Everything in field or yard or garden is as beantifnl as could be. We were also allow ed to see some of the General's famous stock—for instance, we saw two fin* horses, one of which cost $9,000, and the other $10,000. Wo saw over thirty one- year-old colts that were rained and ■old for abont $1,000 apiece on the aver age. One sold to Lorillard, of New York, just one year old, for $4,600, and some body said he waa worth $6,000. It is jest simply astounding to see how these people np here are getting along so weil, and they don’t raise a pound ot ootton. General Harding uaa in a body around hb plaoa over3,000 acres of land.

I told onr friend* as we rode through those beantifnl fields of bine grass and clover, that pretty as it was, if it were in onr country, they would cut down the trees, plow up the grass and clover and put it all in cotton, and get poorer every year, instead of getting riolier as these people do who raise plenty to eat and stock to use and sell. ■Now, I wbh your agricultural readers could aee the beautiful place and try their hand* at Bomethizig ©Is® beside# cotton to get rich on.

W.B. CONDITION OF THE CROPS. A Grand Experiment la #*t Baialag In Baldwin ViMmixr, May 13,18“2.—The oat crop will he a real bonanza to too people of Georgia toe present year. The area under cultivation is immense, and thanks - to k.nd Providenoe the yield bids fair to be unprecedented. Tho saving of expense to the farmers owing to the great dearth of corn can hardly be estimated. At 1 four months'of stock feeding will be bridged over by the timely supply of this important cereal, whioh is far less heating and more nutritious than Indian oora. The writer recently gathered some inter esting facts from Mr. Samuel Walker, who is a member of an agricultural club com posed of twenty planters in Baldwin coun ty, who have offered three premiums of one hundred bushels, sixty bushels snd forty bushels of oats respectively, for the largest quantity of that cereal raised upon a single acTe. Tbo contest is confined to the club, find nearly all the members have entered the list.

TOR CHOP P308PICT. Cotton planting is over with in Georgia for the most part, and fair stands have been obtained. There is tome complaint, however, from the recent cool weather, which has caused the young weed to turn yellow aud even die outright. Hot suns and moisture are the needed panacea in such eases. We hear of no serious drought in any nortion of tbe State. The stands of corn are very {rood, and tho acreage larger than usual. There is a failing off in tho consumption of commer cial fertilize 4 ?, but this may probably be explained by the largo area laid down in small grain and the diminished cotton crop. These plant stimulants properly employed are n priceless treasure to the Agricultu rist. Those who use them should cultivate rapidly, and be certain that grass and weeds do not appropriate all tho virtue of the compound. H. H. J. Hu Lovely Oseer, Phitadelph a Timti.
