AUGUSTA. (GA. )
FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 15,1868.
“LOYALTY” EXPEDIENT.
In a late number of its issue, the Athens ■
Banner comments with great, though cour
eously expressed, severity upon a leading arti
cle appearing in this paper on the seventh in
stant. Thanking our cotemporary for the at
tention paid to those professional amenities
that, in this loutish age, are so often disregarded,
we propose, without further preface, to con
sider the justice of its strictures. Our article
was based upon late proceedings in North
Carolina, and reprehended the Governor of
that State for employing, in a message,sent by
him to the re-assembled reorganization conven
tion, certain language which it was then, and is
now, claimed was “ inexact and disrespectful ”
— 44 ungracious — unwarranted—offensive —and
wholly without justification." The words “ re
bellion ” and “ loyal ” were especially protested
against, and our brother quotes us as saying
that “ North Carolina in the past has no sin
of 4 rebellion ’ to answer for, nor in the future
■is it the duty of her people to be ‘loyal.’” It
would have been handsomer in our brother to
have given that whole paragraph unmutilated,
by adding our further words that, 44 Once she
made war rightfully and now is bound to abide
by the Federal Constitution and the Laws
thereunder made," but, so far as the excerpt
does go, it is emphatically correct. We did
make that statement, and sec no reason now to
either withdraw or modify it in any particular
whatsoever. As to the word “ rebellion we
will not suppose for a moment that the Athens
Banner desires to be understood as maintaining
that the late action of North Carolina and
her sister Southern States is fitly designated by
that term. Nor as to the word "loyal" would
we be willing to believe that, upon a calm re
view, the editor of that paper would admit it,
under the Constitution of the United States
and the Laws thereunder made, to have any
rightful obligatory force whatsoever. The word
is a word of regal origin, and the thing that it
signifies is in this country a matter of the
purest supererogation. We hold that there is
absolutely no obligation on any State in the
Federal Union to be what is termed 44 loyal ” to
the government of that Union, l> e tl,nt State in
lhc Nortli or in the So» <, b or known by the
name of cither Massachusetts or Florida,
South Carolina or Wisconsin. The tiling is
a free will tiling altogether, and if my neighbour
sees fit to plaster a queue on his head and stick
a sword to his tail and do obeisance in a royal
presence, tliat is no reason why 1 should, in
like manner, bedizen myself as a courtier and
proffer my 44 loyal ” respects at the foot of the
throne. And even were this word expressive
of a real obligation it would be an impossible
thing that a Southern State should come up to its
conceived requirements. A "loyal" State, as that
phrase is understood, is one that during the late
struggle, gave aid and comfort to that belligerent
power which waged war upon the South; argj,
since the termination of that struggle, has con
stantly maintained and held that the North
was in the right and that the South was in the
wrong. Tried in this way it is evident that no
Southern State ever was, or can be 44 loyal."
And if, then, no Southern State can come up to
this work of supererogation, on what ground
is it that it shall yet hold itself out to the North
as so doing ? Our brother does not, so far as
we can see, attempt to contravene the abstract
justice of our remarks, and indeed even pays us
a compliment thereon—-whereat we here make
our bow—but confines himself to insisting that
it is not now expedient to make such declara
tions. J1 made, says he, 44 they will arm our foes
with new weapons, and discourage and rattler
utterly helpless our friends." As we take it, this
amounts to about this, that even though these
be our real sentiments, we should carefully con
ceal the existence of that fact, in hope thereby
of weakening our foes and strengthen
ing our friends. Or, in other words,
that we are - to play an allowable game
of deception, and seek, on false pretences, to
gain an advantage we could not hope for
if known to bo just wliat we arc. Now against
any sucTi doctrine as this we do here ouTe more
and most Solemnly protest. We are not and
we cannot he a "loyal" people as that term is
understood at the North, but better, far better,
than all the loyalties that ever were spawned,
we arc a Constitution-loving and a law-abiding
people. We do got profess, we cannot profess,
without falsehood, to believe that Grant Is a
hero or Johnson a saint; that the. South was
44 rebellious ”or its people 44 traitors that our
government was an usurpation or that their’s
is the best that the world ever saw. But we
can and we do say that we are willing to let
bye-gones be byc-gones—to henceforth “ faith
fully support and defend ” the Federal Consti
tution ; to abide by the laws and render unto
Caesar to the uttermost farthing his own. Be
yond this it is impossible we should go and
any ill advised attempt to hold ourselves out as
so doing will inevitably result in our detection
and redound to our dishonour. Government
has no right to pry into the heart, Political
attachment is a matter of the purest superero
gation. If the State protects the citizen and
the citizen supports the State, the contract is
complete, and any introductiou*of extraneous
elements tends to tyranny on the one side and
hatred on the other. Yet such elements are
now-a-days sought to be introduced into the
governmental compact and, as a consequence,
the government grows, in that exact proportion,
exacting, and the people become, pasdpassu , dis
contented, It was the advice of the Father of his
Country to avoid all entangling alliances, and
we know of none more entangling than the
soul-ensnaring, heart-hardening union of strict
duty with lax sentiment. What is written is
easy to read, what is commanded can in most
cases be done, but who can see by the light of
a will-o'-the-wisp or walk in away that is ever
amid quicksand* and shoals. This man has one
idea of " loyalty" and ia.«o niau another, but the
Constitution has none, and, eschewing all
left-hand defections and right-hand ranges
away, we cleave only to the strict letter and the
true spirit of that instrument, in utter deroga
tion of any man or men whomsoever. The
golden mete-wand of the Law, as an old publicist
has it, is the only rule we have for our action
and the one alone we would have as the guide
of the South. It would have been expedient in
John Hampden to pay his few shillings and
not have thrown all England in an uproar, but
he had sat at the feet of Gamaliel, and acting
on lessons there learned, lias his name now
written in glory. It would have been expe
dient for l’nociON to have advised the betrayal
of faith, but he kept firm hold upon principle,
and thereby brought much honourable advant
age to Athens. Trite and school-boy as our
brother may deem these allusions, there is a
profoundness of wisdom in the lesson they
teach. The South has a future before her, and
if now east in the pit by strong and wicked
brethren will yet, some day, like Joseph, come
to bear sway in a mighty land. First and lore
most to do so, her record must be pure. Strict,
stern, unwavering republican construction must
be'her rule. She must sail under no false colours
and neither affect a penitence or a devotion
that she does not feel. For four long years she
was Marius at the head of his legions, and now
should not sink into Mawworm on the anxious
bench.
Holding these sentiments we have ever sought
to impress them, and propose, by the kind
favour of Heaven, to make our future the exact
continuation of our past. If that course does
not square with the views of our brother, we
luive it sincerely to regret, but shall not there
fore spare any the least endeavours to go on as
we heretofore have. As to what good it may
do we cannot entirely say, but have some answer
at least to make to the query thus put. Per
sonally, we have the sweet satisfaction of a
duty performed, and so far as our readers go
receive ;pnple assurance that our course is such
as to meet their best approval. Friendly voices
come to us every day from Southern men and
women; kindly hands are everywhere out
stretched to greet; this brother and that broth
er of the press is good enough to endorse us
and if wrong in our war upon cant and on bum
bug, on illegality and assumption, on “ loyalty"
and on “ rebellion'' we are wrong without con-,
ciousness and sin in good company.

[From the New York Mercantile Journal. I
The Powers Paoe to Pace. j
Somtime ago, in advance of our cotempofra
rics, wc cave tlio statistical estimates ol the
great Powers and their Allies of the Germanic
Confederation about to be involved in a general
war, should the pretensions of Prussian and
Austrian diplomacy be pushed to extremes.
We are now enabled to compute the exact force
of these States and of Italy in arms, since the
meetlno- of the German Diet, and the open dec
laration of sympathies on either side. These
are the latest and the conclusive tigures upon
which our readers may form a correct estimate
of the probable chances of the conflict, and the
degree to which it must affect the social and
commercial, if not the political interests of
Europe.
It will be remembered that when Saxony a
few weeks since began her precautionary arma
ment, Prussia immediately summoned her to
disarm. The reply of the Saxon Government
was a decided expression of her opinion that
the question between Austria and Prussia should
be submitted to the decision ot the Federal
Diet, and a hint that her weight must go with
the party making that appeal. This, of course,
was tantamount to siding at once with Austria;
since Prussia has declined any such arbitra
ment. Tiie attitude of Saxony almost became,
that of the series of States set forth below in
regular order, after the name cl' Austria.
They count as follows the forces already
placed upon a war footing, and ready for the
field:
Austria 600,000
Bavaria 200,000
Saxony 26,000
Hanover 30,000
Wurtemburg 20,900
Baden 18,500
Hesse Dramstadt 12,000
Saxe Coburg 2,200
Brunswick 5,000
Nassau 6,000
Saxe Meiningen 2,000
Saxe Weimer 3,500
Altenbu rgh 1,800
Lichtenstein.. 150
The Two Reuss Duchies 1,500
Hesse Hombourg... J 500
Schaumburg Lippe 500
Lippe Detmold 1,500
Waldeck 100
Tour. 941,150
It is moreover asserted, that in case of dire
emergency, the Austrian alliance could put
300,000 more troops on foot, thus swelling its
entire military front to 1,241,150, of which the
Emperor Francis Joseph could claim fully two
thirds as his own subjects.
The States that voted in favor of Prussia iif
the Diet, are:
Prussia (of whom 15,035 are officers,
2,400 surgeons and 650 farriers).. .647,744
Mecklcnbiirgli Schwerin 6,000
Mecklenburgh Strelity 2,000
Electoral Hesse 15,000
Oldenbnrgh ► 4,000
Anlialt in 1,500
Anhalt Bernburgh .800
Schwarzburgb-Sondershausen 80b
Schwarzbnrgh-Rudolstadt 1,000
Lnbeck 800
Frankfort 1,200
Bremen 800
Hamburgh 2,000
ToUl 083,544
To these by great exertion the States above
enumerated could acid 200,000 men, making
the grand total of the Prusso-Germanic alliance
883,542 men, or 357,596 soldiers less than Aus
tria and her friends.
The populations ior the present year stand
thus, including, of course, only those that have
a right to rcprescnUtion as Germans in the
Diet:
Austria 12,802,944
Bavaria 4,689,837
Saxony 2,225,240
Hanover 1,888,070
Wirtemberg 1,720,708
Baden 1,360,291
Hesse Darmstadt 856,907
The two Saxes 1,142,887
Brunswick 282,400
Nassau 457,571
The Sixth Circle or Curies 357,348
Total 27,613,203
The population of Prussia and the States that
vote with her, is only 15,072,490, or 12,540,713
less than the other side. However, this esti
mate embraces only the populations composing
the Germanic Confederation. The number of
Prussians not therein computed, is 5,200,000;
number of non-Confederate Austrians, 32,216,
044. Consequently the policy of Austria north
1 of the Alps and west of the Russian frontier
rests upon 37,288,534, and that of Prussia on
. 20,272,047, leaving in favor of Austria a differ
ence of 17,816,044.
But there is a third grand element in this tri
-1 angular quarrel that we must, now take into ac
. count, viz.: the Prussian uUwncp tyiU) jlqiy,
about which there is uo longer any shadow ol
doubt. The agreement between these two Pow
' ers is, that any attack by Austria upon either,
. is to be deemed an attack upon both ; that such
blow-is to be the signal for instant hostilities,
' an'd til at once engaged in conflict, lieieher is to
' negotiate fpr a peu.qc fir piajgc to strike without
1 the other’s 1 consent. To begin with, then, i|ie
population of Italy is 28,000,006, and'tins at
once turns the numerical scale in that particu
lar aaiahvst. Austria, by 10,183,use. f.sl us trust
1 glance at the Italian arpjy,
[ The Minister of War, at Florence, on March
. 19th, reported to King Victor Emmanuel the
condition of the array on January 31st, 1866, as
> follows: Officers under arms, 15,004; rank and
, file, 190,325; total under arms, 204,329. Offi
r cers awaiting orders, 1,754; rank anil tile on
furlough, 148,660; tptal tp ualj ip, 150,414. r
’ Grand total disposable, 354,743.
1 In order to judge of the active force which
i could be had with the figures above given, it is
. only necessary to compare them with those that
represented the condition pfjho old Sardinian
1 army on the 31 st of January, 1850. There were:
i Officers under arms, 3,135; Rank and File, 45,540;
, total, 48,676. Officers awaiting orders, 98;
Rank and File, on furlough 34,525; total, 3-1,628;
grand total disposable, 83,299. These estimates
■ we lake directly frqiu the I;alia, the official
i journal of the Italian Kingdom, as they appear
in the regular report of A. Ricci, Ma jor of the
Staff, and Chief of the Military Cabinet of the
Minister of War. That distinguished officer
i draws from the estimates, the plain conclusion,
that haying now 9,62$ men under arms, and
81,547 disposable over and above four times as
' many as t ju-y had in 1859, the Government could
mobilize at least four tiroes ns many as it then
did, and with still greater ease. The number at
the former period was 60,000. It follows that
in the existing military condition of the powers
of Europe, not one of them could, on short
notice, mobilize more troops while in the poli
tical conditions that surround them, none what
ever could send proportionately, so many into
battle. The Italian army, Major Riceia dds,
could not, without the aid of circumstances,
which hardly occur twice in the life-time of a
nation, find itself in bettor military condition
1 than now. In examining the different armies
of Europe, only the French, in the technical
quality of the men, can be called equal or
superior to the Italian troops. The Austrian
| army, for instance, has, in all its eight classes,
1 only one, viz: the young men born in 1839 who
■ have fought a campaign, that of 1859, with the
; exception of n few corps who were in the Danish
. war of 1864, and the two plqsses of reserves,
‘ men born in 1836-37, who were in the Italian
1 war, but are not usually put under arms at the
' first call for a mobilisation.
Since the above report, all Italy has been in
, one blaze of enthusiasm, and recruits to the
' regular army with independent corps mustered
1 by consent of the Government, have swollen
> the disposable forces of the young Kingdom to
. ouo,ooo men, the most of them well disciplined,
and one-third, at least, the veterans of glorious
campaigns. If we now regard these as co-op
-1 crating with Prussia, the allies outnumber Aus
; tria by 142,054 men, quite enough to capture
Venice and cut oft' the Quadrilateral, so that
all the Prussians require to do is to keep the
1 Austrians fully occupied at home, in the North
while Victor Emmapual flanks them on the
South. That our estimate of the Italian force
is rather below than above the mark, may be
gleaned from tiie immense success of the en
listments for Garibaldi, which amounted to 26,-
000 men in a single week, so that the corps of
20 battalions assigned to him had to be raised
to 40. The name ot the popular leader alone
will always command 100,000 men, and a sin
gle action gained would bring the. Italian cause
entire armies of fresh recruits. Therefore, as
the matter practically stands, Austria is com
pletely outnumbered. Moreover, she Las the
discontent of Hungary, Bohemia, Cracow, Ty
rol, (no longer devoted) and Vcnetta ready to
explode in armed insurrection under her feel,
and a Republican party everywhere secretly ac
tive, even throughout her purely German pro
vinces. On the other hand, the people of Prus
sia and her German allies, are either apathetic
or utterly averse to. the war, and enraged at
Count Bismark, while Italy js, here and there,
lionev-eombed with occult conspiracies against
her liberal reforms. These are drawbacks too
serious to be disregarded. For Italy, we have
little fear in that respect, believing that the
1 fiery enthusiasm and energy of her people
would instantly trample out the slightest or
, the broadest spark of sedition. But of Prus
sia, we feel less confident. Her case, if unaid
ed in this war, is, indeed, most hazardous.—
■ Italy defeated, would be covered by France,
but Prussia in the same plight, must go down
to pieces unless saved by the Czar, or the Rev
olution.
In a financial and commercial point of view,
the immediate future is fraught with tremendous
uncertainties for all the contending Powers.—
in Germany, monetary affairs and the relations
of trade are in a state of perplexed confusion.
The great port of Hamburgh has nearly ceased
to import colonial goods. Throughot the
Kingdom of Saxony, in Silesia, in all the Rhine
provinces, in Braudenburgh and the smaller
Duchies, the manufacturers are discharging
their hands and selling off their goods at a
ruinous loss, and at Munich, the Bavarian Capi
tal, the recent panic has rendered the sale of
securities of any kind, out of the question.—
The Prussian 4% per cent, have fallen even at
Berlin, from their customary rate of 103@105,
to 83@85, and are still descending, and the
best railways have seen their stock depreciate
25@30 per cent, in two weeks. The ordinary
bank currency was flowing back from the hands
of the public, and could not be paid out in
heavy sums without stiff discount, and, to com
plete the dismay, the Royal and Imperial Ex
chequers of the Continent, were calling in their
loans with the utmost haste, declining at the
same time to grant or renew accomodation# of
any kind.
Os the three great Powers threatening each
other, Prussia is financially the strongest. In
1863, her national debt was 269,997,187 thalers
of 73% cents. Her expenditures for the same
year were 133,361,469, and her receipts were
137,497,302 thalers. Her liabilities have since
then been considerably increased, Iter collection
of taxes meets with many difficultjds, owing to
the ill, will of the people, and her outlay this
year is excessively heavy. But she is still com
fortably solvent.
Austria, however, is on the verge of utter
bankruptcy, on October 31, 1868, her public
debt was 2,528,728,641 florins, of 49 cents. Her
expenses in 1808 were 461,312,581, and her re
cfefpts 435,720,381, or much below the current,
outlay. This dfeerepamy has, since then, con
tinually grown more alarming, and it is hardffo
imagine how the fearful strain now brought to
bear upon the Empire can be sustained.
Italy is, by far, the worst involved. On the
Ist of January, 1863, her national debt was
3,817,470,979 francs, or about $700,500,000.
Her income for that year was $124,000,000, and
her expenditures $187,000,000, or nearly $54,-
000,000 beyond her receipts. This annual de
ficiency has augmented ever since.
We may, then, sum up the situation to tiie
effect that Prussia is strong on the surface but
weak within, having money and men, but no
love of ber people. Austria is a giant with
mighty limbs, badly conjoined and eaten by in
ternal disease. .Italy is a strong man, animated
with a fervor of patriotic, aspiration bordering
upon frenzy, but short of supplies unless the
paroxysm of her excitemmitshall prove enough
to carry her through. This is everything to a
countryaudan army. Privations, losses, obsta
cles, only whet the courage and enduranceof men
wiio have become fanatical for a great cause. Iri
this, at least, Ttaly will have tiie sympathy of
all who admire courage and patriotism, even
throughout the subject dominions of her great
antagonist, and if Francis Joseph be the en-
sagacious man of modern ideas which
his unquestionable efforts for years to relieve
and strengthen his country have lead us to con
sider him, lie will listen in time to the friendly
negotiator, who shall propose the purchase of
Venetia for a reasonable compensation in money
and position. This done, the German Confed
eration may be on a basis 'secure
and honorable to all parties, and the Kauser
will have gained a friend and ally in the young
Kingddm of Italy, full of gratitude and chival
rous devotion that may prove his right hand of
safety in far darker days than even these
However, this may seem to old diplomatists
dreaming of the past, the voice of admonition
which has been heard by us from beyond the
Atlantic, and which we now send back as au
echo from our shores says, “Strike not the
dwarf, he may have a gianf for a lriend!”

Bainbridge, Decatur County, Ga., )
Monday, June 4, 1866.- (
In a conveyance called “a stage,” and which
for dirt, disebmtort and tortoise-excelling slow
ness exceeds anything of the kind I was ever
condemned to travel in, I reached this little
town of about 2,000 inhabitants, the capital of
the extreme southwestern county of Georgia.
Its chief importance consists in its being the
head ot navigation of the Flint river, or Thron
atciwP i, which unites with the Chattahoochee a
few mire*-sputh of this, and thenceforward to
the Gulf is kiitVn as the Apalachicola.
W ere I a tourist, in search of the picturesque,
or on the lookout for adventure, I should im
mediately take up my bag and walk, for walk I
would rather than again submit to the torture
. of thdffwo-horse stage. But lam only an ob
, server of “the crop,” an investigator of tiie
. working-of the great social and economical pro
. blem of fre» negro labor, and for the nonce en
tirely devoted tO'Hjjngs material and prosaic hi
l their nature, and t ln'f>qu nothing here to divert
, my attention. \
From Newton, Baliev coitwci;, whence I last
wrote, I came to a place in this emmty called
Blowing Cave, which is owned by Mr.' u atl j e ]
Barrow, and is one of the finest and best cuiy,
vated plantations I have seen since I commenced
my tour of observation. There are eighty
hands employed in the culture, and there are
close on lour hundred acres planted in cotton,
witli the due proportion of corn, peas and su
gar. All the crop was as clean as a well-tilled
garden, the fences in good repair, the stock in
good care, the cotton blooming, and tiie corn
commencing to tassel beautifully. Unless
something unforeseen occurs, a yield of two
hundred and fifty bales, of 450 lbs. each, is con
fidently expected from this place.
4 Tiie hands are all “family negroes,” that is,
* the former slaves of the proprietor, who were
■ born and reared on the plantation. They are
? now surrounded by their families aud friends,
4 and are living in the houses they have known
» from infancy. The men work qs diligently as
they ever did, from sunrise to snuset, and their
1 general conduct is said to be as blameless as
r could be expected from the same number of
1 laborers of any race or color. Their rations are
■ the same as those T have already described, and
their clothing ample, although the texture of
■ the fabrics of which the jackets and pants are
made would compare unfavorably with those
< employed by the artistes of Broadway. Tiie
4 slices arc good, but. clearly pot of French ex
' traction, and l lie haail-gear of males and females
’ bears no resemblance to Hie costly monstrosi
-1 ties which fashionable hatters and milliners now
> impose on a suffering public. They all seemed
’ cheerful, looked forward with very pleasurable
1 anticipations to the realization of their share of
: the crop, and seemed much flattered when I told
them that they had their ground cleaner than
‘ any I had seen. I spent some time in the fields
~ l 'U- ‘h- “""Or. i
foreman and managers and laborers in the pev
-1 formance of their several duties, and I can as
’ sure you those who have such torrent sos tears
J to shed over tiie crushing daily toil, ip a hroil
-1 ing Sun, of the poor African, and the heartless
brutality of their taskmasters, must reserve
1 their briny showers tor some other place than
' t ills, or any whicli I have visited recently. Nor
thern operatives in factories are compelled to
1 wark harder than any negroes on tiie plantations
® to which I refer; and the exactions of Northern
4 superintendents of labor, in regard to the con
* tinuity and quality of work, are far more severe
* than any 1 have seen here.
Now, it, must not be supposed that my visit
was expected, and that things wore “fixed”
after due rehearsal of all the parts, so as to
make an impression for publication. In the
first place, ray visit was without notice of any
kind. Like Paul Pry, I just “{dropped in” and
hoped “ T did’nt intrude.” And in the next
place nobody had the remotest idea that F in
tended to write or publish anythin" connected
witli the plantation. It was a visit of the “fam
ily dinner” order, without any preparation,
and T saw nu n and things as' they are from
Monday morning- to Saturday night.
For the last fifteen or sixteen days, 1 have
been in the midst of Africans where the popula
tion is frequently a hundred negroes to one
white, and in some cases double andHreble that
difference. I have lived and moved among
them, talked to them freely wherever I went,
and heard them talk to each other when they
did not believe there were any “ white folks
round ” During my life I have traveled a
deal, and “ in strange lands have mad* myself
no stranger,” and 1 can assure you with perfect
sincerity, that I have never see* 1 a peasant pop
nlation anywhere so genemily “well off” as
the freedmen in tin* section of Georgia, who
work on the plantations. They take no liced
what they shall eat, nor what they shall drink,
norWor their bodies wherewith they shall be
clothed. All that is provided for them by their
employer, ofcgood quality and in abundance.—
What European peasant, what Northern labor
er can say the same ? Go into the noisome
tenement houses of your large cities and see
the ragged, half starved men, women and chil
dren, and you will find the answer. In ease of
sickness a competent medical man visits the
freedman and gives him the best medicines. —
It is true, under the free labor system he forfeits
wages during sickness. But he is well tended,
carefully nursed aud supplied with everything
needed for his recovery. Visit the hospitals
and see whether Northern laborers are as well
provided in case of sickness or accident. At
the end of the year each full hand will proba
bly receive a bale of cotton, or say §125 for his
year’s labor, in addition to food, clothes and
doctor’s bills. Where does a Northern or Eu
ropean laborer, of the same class, do as well or
earn as much.
No'honest man, who tells the truth,after
personal observation, can say otherwise than
that the mass of the negro population of the
South is mentally the lowest order of the hu
man creation to be found anywhere. Whether
this intellectual incapacity is or is not, the re
sult of a condition of slavery, I do not pretend
to decide or even to discuss. Bnt the fact is so.
Most negroes have imitative smartness in a
greater or less degree. Some are shrewd, near
ly all are cunning, but with very rare excep
tions I have never seen any whose reasoning
faculties were not inferior to those of the least
intellectual white man who was compos mentis.
They are the most sensual race in existence.—
They have less foresight and thrift than white
children of ten years qld. Their religion con
sists exclusively In demonstrative forms. Some
of their religious ceremonies reminded me of
the howling dervishes ot Turkey. The moral
restraints—honesty, truth, and the obligations
of man to liis fellow—they acknowledge, but
rarely observe where they can escape detection.
But they are kind hearted, gentle, obedient, de
pendent and timid —easily controlled, hut as
easily imposed upon—all ignorant as the mules
they drive.
Apart trom the desire to “punish rebels,”
make them “ reap what they have sown,” and
generally turn this country into a hell an earth,
are the people I have described abpve fit for the
suffrage ? Suppose the right, to give them the
elective franchise in Georgia to be as clear as
the absence of any such power is admitted,
would it be wise or politic to place such a peo
ple in the possession of the highest attributes
of Government? How will the destruction of
the South benefit the North ? Are the fancied
means of retaining political supremacy to he
sought at the sacrifice of every other considera
tion ? There are no people who have a deeper
interest in the peace and prosperity of this sec
tion than the manufacturers of the North. This
is their garden and orchard, upon 'the luxu
riance and steady yield of which their comfort
depends. Let it be made a Hayti or a Jamaica,
and what becomes of its fertility? The Sea
Islands, which have been Jamaicaized for the
last lour years, ought to have taught a lesson
as to African supremacy. Now, this is tho hap
piest and most prosperous agricultural commu
nity I ever saw. Let the Radicals have their
way and it will be the most wretched and un
fortunate.
Starvation in South Carolina. —The
Keowa (S. C.) Courier publishes an appeal to
the citizens of Pickens, signed by some of the
most influential men in the community, in be
half of the poor in its vicinage. The Courier
says there are not less than eight hundred fami
lies of an aggregate population of four thou
sand, allowing an average of five souls to a
family, on the point of starvation in that dis
trict. Os these, at least two thousand are
widows and orphans, almost entirely helpless,
and mode so by the misfortunes of war.
