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*. “They have made some progress, but at *he late examination the boys begged they be not sent back to the West And a vision fell solemn and sweet, Bringing gleams of a morning-ht the land ; I saw the white shore where pa'e waters beat And I heard the low lull as they broke at their feet, beautiful strand.

And life where the lillies eternally bloom In the balm-breathing gardens of God, Yet, deeply these memories burn, Which bind me to you and to earth ; And I sometimes have thought that my being would yearn, In the bowers of Us beautiful home to return, And visit the scones of Its birth.
