THF CONYERS WEEKLY
CONYERS, C A., JP .iE 8TH, 1863.
The Borne Ccirier wants tbs vagrant
law enierced: “ The enforcement of the
vagrant law, we think would have a ten'
dexcy to drive to work a class <A negroes
vhe can be made useful in the field,
uiffarmmg friends are always in ueedytf
eld hand*.”
A faint rumor rip; ’ the surface that
adge Blackley will soon resign his seat
,pon the Supreme Bench. As the story
p*t*, the fudge will letire to his moun
jfin fa Habbersbam county, and will
subscribe for every paper in the State,
a»d give them his undivided study for
three month*. Judge Bleckley is now
in New York.
Cothbyrt Appeal: The greatest curi
o*ity in the way of an Indian relic we
hare ir-en for yei-rs was given us a few
d. ys a.r.ce by William Stevens, of the
Sixth dAtrict of thi« county. It i* a fin
g i ring ratted out of stone, and from
ar.peanMices hao been worn for years.
Tho store is as hard as flint, and it cer
tair y required great skill and patience
fc . ork it into present shape It was
found in an old field where it has prob¬
ably lain for a century, yet it is not de¬
faced in the least.
The Courier give* a favorable report of
cotton manufacturing in Rome : “From
investigation, we learn that this factory
ig proving a dee ded success. Mr. Bru¬ 1
ner, the efficient secretary and treasurer,
informs us that he is unable to fill more
than one-half of the orders he gets. He
says when he sells to a party once he is
sure to get an order for a second lot. All
of the machinery of this factory is of the
latest improved patents, and is .irst-c ass
in every particular, most of it being pat
eated as late as July, i88a. Hands are
easily obtained. There is no doubt but
that cotton factories in Rome will pay
big profits if properly established.”.
Allen Goolsby killed George Wise
near Jackson this morning. Both col¬
ored. Wise assaulted Goolsby with a
knife, and as it was diflicult to draw
Goolsby took advantage of the fact and
used his freely, cntlting Wise in the ab¬
domen and killing him instantly. Gools¬
by then came to town and gave himself
up to Judge Carmichael, who sent him
to jail. Goolsby states that Wise abus¬
ed him and knocked him down near his
house, and after warning him to desist
Wise drew his knife, whereupon Gools¬
by killed him. Goolsby is a harmless
old darkey 6o years old, while Wise was
said to be a fussy negro.
The Alanta Republican is getting un¬
easy for fear the negro vote will go ever
solidly to the democratic party, and it
tells the negroes the oft toll tale that the
party is their only friend and
the democrats their most deadly enemies.
It tells them that the republican party
wants to “ elevate ” them, fill our legis¬
latures with them, put them in the jury
box, on the bench and in congress—all
of which means, if it means anything,
that the republicans would make the ne¬
groes the ruling power in the south. The
Republican says the democrats are op¬
posed to all this, which is as near a truth
as we ever find in any republican pa¬
per, and which is the best argument we
know why the negro should vote with
the democratic party, as that party op¬
poses every measure that tends to push
the negro aboveh is station. The demo¬
crats waut him to have “equal and exact
justice, nothing more and nothing less,”
and the demacratic party will see to it
that he does have and enjoy all the privi¬
leges he is entitled to-—Griffin Sun.
LAPSING INTO BARBARISM,
The horse, the cow, the hog, the dog
and other domestic animals deprived of
the care and attention of man will go
b ck to their first condition*. Hatch a
brood of wild turkeys under a barnyard
hen, and when their wings are strorg
enough they will fly away. Patridges
under similar circumstances will go away
so soon as they can run. And so with
the lower race* ofj men. There have
been some very marked instances of this.
Lafayette carried an infant son of “ Corn
Planter,” a chief of one of the Six Na¬
tions, to France, and educated him in all
the accomplishments of a young man of
rank. \V hen he returned to America,
accompanied by a lady of great beauty
and good family, there was no finer gen¬
tleman in the New World. Yet within
four and-t wen ty hours he was found in
the streets of Boston drunk, wrapped in
a tattered blanket, and surrounded by a
party of his savaie countrymen. Next
day he deserted his French friends, and
when Aaron Burr was traveling from
Canada to New York. i» 1789, he found
the unfortunate wife of the irreclaima
b!e savage wandering In the woods, cru
ellv maltreated, stripped of her proper¬
ty, almost naked, and subsisting on ber¬
ries and wild fruit. It has been so, over
and over again. A young Botocudo boy
was brought up by a Braxilian family at
Aahami, attended the schools and the
uuiversity, obtained a medical diploma,
and foy a time practiced aa a physician.
Soon> however, he was seized with an
irresistable longing for his old life, and
within three years after graduating was
reaming about the forest with his tribe.
•' Jemmy Button,” the Fuegan, whom
the lata Admirabl Fitzroy brought to
Bngland and educated, was within a few
months after his return to Terra del
Fuego as complete a savage aa if be bad
never worn kid gleve* and polished
boots in London.
The dread of this thin* seems to op
press the mind of the Indian, At the
industrial school at Carlisle, Pennsylva¬
nia. atffi Hampton, Virginia, the govern¬
ment is educating a number of Indian
children bel mgirq to the vamos tribe*.
