liad part of a field planted in peas.
This year he planted the field in

does not touch the ground, though

few weeks old anil is as spry as a
cricket. It is on excellent terms

The correspondent of tbe Douglas
Breeze at Pickren, whose article we
copyelsewhere, expresses public sen-
timent throughout Georgia. There
is no good in mincing matters of
this kind. The white people of the
South will never permit the negro
to share in its government, and the
soonery tbe understand this incontro¬
vertible fact the better it will be for
them. To fail to understand it is to
court tbeir own destruction. The
Southern people are their best friends
—so long they stay in their places,
and no longer.
