of the south.
It is cminefltly necessary that the South
should combine for a unity of political
forces, because the time is rapidly ap
proaching when she can, if compact, de
mand restitution of some paHy for much
that she has lost during the war. With
out committing herself to any cabal at the
North, especially to neither of ike wings
of the Republican party, she can make
herself formidable to all organizations, as
a balance of power. Anticipating their
day of disintegration, the Radicals are mov
ing heaven and earth to. make Southern
disintegration equally pronounced. This
is the great danger just now ahead of us.
If the Democratic party of the North will
only stand firm to its old principles; if it
will only drive from its ranks those who
are “among them but not of them”—
the Belmonts, the World , the Citizen, and
all of like ilk—we can then act with it
the confidence of many who really hunger
and thirst for a restoration of Free Govern
ment. But this purgation must be made,
before success can crown any great effort.
The party cannot afford to have in its coun
cils such men as betrayed it in the election
of last Fall. The more of a unit, therefore,
we become, the better shall we be able to
act efficiently in building up a sound Dem
ocratic organization throughout the whole
country, and on which alone all our hopes
of the future depend. Shrewd politicians
like Andrew'Johnson see that the South
is the only hope left for the re-establish
ment of Free Government. There are not
wapting Radical leaders who fear the con
solidation we hint at; and the very efforts
made by Botjtwell and Creswell are
desperate expedients to forestall it. Those
who favor the Imperial movement arc
most candid and most advanced of all in
propitiatiug the South and holding forth
inducements. The last number of their
organ contains this significant article on
the Southern Debt:
“ One of our friends, whose communica
tion we publish in another column, strong
ly and plainly condemns our view of the
payment of the Southern debt, and another
asks, ‘lf we are to pay the debt of the
South, why not pay for their negroes and
their other losses ? Would it not be as
just ? What claim have they on govern
ment ?’
“Just so. That’s our opinion. Will our
friend tell us what sort of a thing ‘ govern
ment’ is, that it should owe anything to
anybody ? What is 1 government ?’ Is it
•an entity ? lias it a conscience—a heart ?
Has it—our own especially—a probable
‘future state?’ We think not. Our view’
is that natioual debts are due by the people
themselves, and not by the machinery by
which they are governed. It is true enough
that the people of the North have no obli
gation to pay the debt of the South, though
it might be wise for them to assume such.
Nor have the people of the South, except
as one of the misfortunes of their defeat,
any part in the debt of the Union, and yet
it would be wofnlly unwise for them to ad
vocate Its repudiation. Their own debt
ought not, of course, to be paid ‘at its
face,’ since for the greater part of it no
‘ value received ’ was ever obtained, and its
present holders gave nothing at all for it,
but a proper adjustment might be arrived
at. As to the slaves, all their value may
be fairly looked upon as ‘ property destroy
ed by the war,’ and the South has as good
a claim to compensation for losses received
in'battle or in siege. They fairly risked
all that when they took up arms. The.
mere burning of any man’s house, however,
does not liquidate any just mortgage there
on—nor does it extend mortgage over any
other man’s house.”
Now, that is pretty plain talk, and means
that, in the breaking up of old establish
ments, if such upheaval must occur, the
South is a section worthy to be wooed and
won for auy faction which hopes to tri
umph. But let no one of our people be de
ceived by these specious and guileful pro
mises. They are as false as the motto of
the paper that contains them—“ The Em
pire is Peace.” We publish the extract to
show how important the Southern element
is regarded by the three wings of modern
Republicans, the Radical, the Conservative
and the Imperial.
Our great and abiding duty is to hold
and maintain with flrmuess such a position,
♦luring the divisions of Radicalism, that w r e
can save the country, if possible, by preserv
ing the ark of the covenant and the princi
ples of the Fathers, to be rallied upon by all
true men, North and South, in the coming
day of destiny. Failing in this, we fean,
at least, by a consolidated front, give
victory to whichever side we choose—
whichever side, where there is no choice
of principle, will yield indemnity for the
past, apology for the present and hostages
of fortune for the future. •

Commencement of the State University.
Athens, Ga., August 6,1869.
The commencement exercises of the
University of Georgia for the year 1869 is
one long to be remembered among the
lovers of education and eloquence through
out the State.
Never before, in the recollection of the
oldest inhabitant, has such a vast concourse
of people been congregated in the classic
groves and hospitable homes of Atheus. It
did really seem that the rivers of people
had their confluence here, for Athens was
literally overflowed with Georgia’s beauti
ful daughters and her distinguished sons.
In conformity with a time-honored cus
tom, all the. ehuroVioH wove closed on Sun
day morning, and all repaired to the college
chapel to hear the Commencement Sermon,
which was preached by the Ilev. Dr.
Waddell, Chancellor of the University of
Mississippi. The text selected by the
venerable man was from the 12th chapter
and 43d verseof St. John, viz: “For they
loved the praise of men more than the
praise of God” It is impracticable, in
such a communication as this, even to give
a synopsis of this sermon. Suffice it to say,
the great multitude who heard it were de
lighted with its profuudity, its beauty and
its eloquence. The Doctor’s address to the
graduating class was particularly appro
priate and impressive.
Monday morning the Sophomore Prize
Declamation was largely attended.
The programme was as follows :
H. C. Ansley, Augusta—lmpeachment of
Warren Hastings.
J. L. Brooks, Barnwell county, S. C.—
National Monument to Washington.
T. H. Cunningham, Anderson, S. C
Cataline’s Defiance.
R. H. Goetchins, Columbus—Hayue’s Re
ply to Webster.
J. L. Hardeman, Macon—Salathiel to Ti
tus.
J. T. Heard, Augusta—lnvective Against
Corry.
G. A. Howell, Valdosta—Address in be
half of the Greeks.
J. Hurt, Alabama—Pitt’s Reply to Wal
pole.
P. H. Mell, Jr., Athens—lrish Aliens.
A. A. Murphy, Barnesville—Chatham on
the American War.
G. G. Randall, Acworth—Verres De
nounced.
E. G. Simmons, Macon—Right of Eng
land to Tax America.
G. W. Warren, Louisville—Mississippi
Contested Election.
P. K. Young, Florida —Hamilcar to Han-
UI T aI C. Newton (excused), Jefferson. -
The extracts were generally wed con
ceived and some of them finely delivered.

men from the Junior Class treated us to a
“ feast of reason and a flow of soul :”

W. B. Hill, Macon—The Mission of the
Young Men of the South.
R. H. Johnston, Griffin—Fact and Senti
ment.
J. B. B. Smith, Atlanta—We Might Have
Been.
In the afternoon, the oration before the
Alumni was delivered by Col. D. W.
Lewis.
His theme, though he announced he
did not have any particular subject, was, I
apprehend, the “ Power of the Human
Will.” His ideas were splendid.
At night, in the Phi Kappa celebration,
Mr. N. E. Harris, the orator of the occa
sion, acquitted himself with great credit,
and “ covered himself with glory.”—
Though a native of a sister State (Tennes
see), he praised Georgia to the skies, and
spoke of her as the home of beautiful and
lovely women, and brave and intelligent
sons.
Wednesday, Commencement Day, the
old chapel was fuller than it was ever
known to be before. Every seat and every
aisle, and every place where a human be
ing could stand there was one, and, if pos
sible, two.
The following is a copy of the pro
gramme :
H. B. Van Epps, Atlanta, (2d honor) Sa
lutatory.
F. M. Allen, Burke county—Obliquities
of Genius.
B. W. Barrow, Athens—Matalini and
Solomon.
W. B. Bonnell, Macon—S'ruggles of Ge

W. S. Bean, Augusta, (Ist honor), —Im-
pulses of the Age.—Valedictory to the
Trustees and Faculty.
W. R. Hammond, Atlanta, (Ist honor) —
Valedictory to Audience.
M. Guyton, Laurens county, (Ist honor) —
Valedictory to Class.
Some of these speeches deserve especial
mention, but where all did so well, it would
be unkind to particularize.
The University is now in the most
flourishing condition it has ever been.
The Faculty is as able as can be found in
the South, aud I doubt not as able as there
is on the continent.
The climate of Athens is magnificent,
and its society unsurpassed on the globe.

[COMMUNICATED.]
Messrs. Editors: “Piney Woods,” in
your issue of 31st ult., gives you ah ac
count often patches or fields of cotton in
Richmond county he passed that day, all
having rust. This statement induced me
to examine three fields planted by friends,
who were desirous of testing the fact of
planting cotton to advantage on the poor
lands of this county.
The first field visited was on “ Butler’s
creek,” (land that would, in a good year,
make ten bushels of corn to the acre); the
Held contained 14 acres. It was well sub
soiled ; planted in hill, 2x4 feet. The stand
is not perfect; the most of it is the “ Simp
son cotton;” was manured with4oopounds
soluble Pacific guano to the acre. Cotton
about four feet high—the Simpson seed
the best fruited cotton I ever saw; the en
tire field in line growing condition and full
of forms, flowers and fruit, and bids fair to
make a large crop. The second field is on
“ Spirit creek,” 20 acres, (land that would
make eight to ten bushels of corn in good
seasons.) Plowed in the old was, say four to
six inches deep ; planted in drill; manured
with 300 pounds soluble Pacific; cotton
covers the ground and loaded down with
mature fruit; in some spots shows r«st,
but very little. The third field (thirteen
and a half acres) is also on “ Spirit creek
command six bushels of corn to the acre;
land was well subsoiled and manured with
311 pounds soluble Pacific to the acre;
planted in drill and well worked; stand
perfect; cotton will average four feet high
and weighted down with fruit; the field
covered with bloom and not a semblance
of rust. If the opinion of old farmers is
correct, that if the plant be in a thrifty
growing condition on the first of August,
then the plant has produced half of its
fruit, all three of those fields indicate a
product of perhaps a bale of cotton to the
acre, and would be realizing simply the
object aimed at, to wit: That with deep
preparation and a proper soluble phosphate,
a bale of cotton can be made to the acre of
land in Richmond county. Are not the
pincy woods “ Reconstructed ?” '
Free Trade —We are not quite certain
that in the “new order of things” the
South is going to be tlie especial champion
of free trade, but now that the question
has been mooted whether free trade is an
article of the Democratic creed , the New
York World prints a historical statement,
showing what is the record of the on
the subject:
Democratic, 1837 to 1842, average tariff,
29 per cent.
Whigs, 1842 to 1846, average tariff, 85 per
cent.
Democratic, 1846 to 1850, average tariff,
24 per cen*
Whigs, 1850 to 1855, average tariff, 26 per
cent.
Democrats, 1857 to 1861, average tariff,
19 per cent.
Republicans, 1862 to 1864, average tariff,
42 per cent.
Republicans, 1864 to 1869, average tariff,
48 per cent.
Doubtless the following is not true.—
Nevertheless the Boston Adverti'&r pub
lishes it for the information of its readers:
“ A preacher whose custom it was to
preach very long sermons, exchanged with
one who only preached half as long. At
about the customary time for dismissing,
the audience began to go pot. This hegira
continued till all had left but the sexton,
who stood it jus long as he could, and then
walking up to the pulpit stairs, said to the
preacher in a whisper: ‘When you have
got through, please lock up, will you, and
leave the key at my house, next to the
church ?’

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY —A THIRD PARTY
WHERE WILL GRANT STAND—THE TEST
OATH IN VIRGINIA —THE SOUTHERN ELEC
TIONS —WHAT THEY INDICATE.
Washington, August 4,1869.
The hotch-potch phase now worn by the
Republican party, as exemplified in the
condition of tilings at tlic South, is peculiai
to that organization, and can have no effect
whatever upon the action of the great con
stitutional party of the country. From a
conversation to-day with leading Conserva
tives lam satisfied that the Radical press
may lay aside their fears of a surrender by
their great national opponents of a single
principle. The whole reconstruction
scheme, which is not covered by constitu
tional amendments, together with all the
unconstitutional acts of Congress, Avill be
fought to the bitter end.
Nevertheless, a third party is a necessi
ty. The Government cannot, in self-de
fense proceed much longer with the ex
treme progressive programme of Sumner s
faction; and General Grant cannot, if he
so desired, do otherwise than run counter
ultimately to further aggressions. He will
be compelled by a serious and radical di
vision in his own party into a position
somewhat similar to that of his predecess
or though differing in this essential partic
ular: Mr. Johnson’s movement was prema
ture as preceding public sentiment Iu his
party General Grant will find out. that
nine-tenths of tliy country have become
disgusted with tfie Radical leaders, and
with their schemes of procrastination. A
large part of the Republican party want
' repose. They want “ peace,” as they call
. action. The third party
pi-efer the President, but 'can W) X
wait long. His best friends and relatives
do not scruple to remonstrate, and urge
upon him a decisive step at once, but he
hesitates. His course In respect to Vir
ginia was, and is still, vacillating. He
promised what he had not the moral cour
age to perform, and his course in relation
to Mississippi and Texas is yet dubious.
Mr. Johnson left office without a party, but
with many well-wishers. If the General
shall fail to seize vigorously upon the pres
ent opportunity, he will leave the White
House without a friend—personal or politi
cal—for with the Radical faction he has
already passed the Rubicon.
During the brief visit of the President to
the Capital last week it is known that he
peremptorily refused to entertain any pro
position concerning the action of Gen.
Canby in Virginia, except, possibly, in the
way of a nugatory “opinion” of the At
torney General. The satrap will probably
be permitted to organize the Virginia Leg
islature upon the principle of the infamous
test oath. It will surprise many to be in
formed that Gen. Grant takes the ground
(couched in the very langunge of the Presi
dent) that the laws, as passed by Con
gress, leave him no power in the premises,
except to remove the incumbent satrap!—
It would be useless lor any one perhaps to
repeat the inquiry put to President Jolfn
son on a memorable occasion, namely, why
he declined to exercise the power acknowl
edged to be still left ? The deep finesse at
tributed to the President of committing
his wily enemies in his own camp, is all
very well; but he must take care that his
own skirts are clear of the dust. Napoleon
chose to assume the odium of the execution
of the Duke D’Engheim rather than it
should be supposed for a moment that any
man would dare do such an act in his
name without his express authority. It is
not desired by his personal friends, I learn,
that the President should remove Bout
well and Robeson and Creswell' just yet—
but if he shall permit Cabby to undo all
that has been done in Virginia, according
to the express wishes of the President, cor
respondents here will then lie bereft of the
pleasure of further favorable comparison
of our Bonaparte with the great Corsican
Captain.
Bat all this has nothing whatever to do
witli the Democratic Conservative party*
Beyond an anxious desire for the ameliora
tion of the deplorable condition of the
South, the Democracy take no interest in
what are called the “elections” in the
States in that quarter. It is freely admit
ted that the triumph of Walker, or Seuter,
or Dent., or Hamilton, could, in no conceiv
able sense, be regarded as a Democratic
victory. The developments there are, how
e.ver, undoubted evidence of the formation
of anew and powerful party, which may
or may not act as a foil to the ty
rants who have so long despoiled those
people, and put it in the power iff the Pres
ident, if he shall place himsefr at their
head, successfully to thwart further ag
gressions. The “ live thunder '■* will be
heard in good time. Radical organs need
not anticipate it, nor be frightened at the
party premonitions in Tennessee and else
where. X.

Preacher-Editors. — Some time ago we
chronicled the accession of Rev. J. B:
McGehee to the editorial conduct of the
Americus Courier, and now we learn that
Rev. Chas. A. Full wood has become one of
the editors of the Brunswick Seaport Appeal.
Both of these gentlemen are preachers of
the Methodist Church. Some years ago,
several printer-editors joined the Georgia
Conference, and we thought the press was
about to be absorbed by the pulpit. John
W. Burke, Johu A. Reynolds, L. J. Davies,
and T. T. Christians, were all, at one time
of life, printers’ “ devils,” but are now
reverend gentlemen, laboring toinducemen
and women to flee from the devil, while
Messrs. McGehee and Fullwood, brought
up as preachers, have closely allied them
selves with the “devil” in their maturer
years. How times change, and men, even
preachers* change with 'them. Wc think
Burke, Reyolds, Davies and Christians have
made the better change.

r JUHE ENTIRE CAPITAL OF THIS COMPANY has been furnished by citizens of Vir
ginia and Georgia.
It is estimated that over TEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are now annually sent. North lor
LIFE INSURANCE, evert/ dollar of which takes so much from Southern vitality. Henceforth
let us keep our investments at, home, and we will again assert and maintain our supremacy. This
BRANCH OFFICE offers all inducements for Lite Insurance of a perfect Home Office, with
these advantages : The Capital is furnished, the expense of commencing operations has been
incurred, the success, beyond peradvenlure, is established, and the who'e Capital and Assets of
the Home■ Company stand committed to sustain it.
The entire management of the Piedmont is in the hands of SouLheru men, and its aim is to
sustain Southern interests. Why, then, should Southern tneu place their money and the inter
ests ot their wives and children in the hands of Northern men, who,you know, do not l ive you. and
who have proved that they do not desire your prosperity , and W HOSE CHARTERS FORBID THE
INVESTMENT OF ONE CENT FOR YOUR BENEFIT?
TnE PIEDMONT is not only a thoroughly Southern Company, but pledges itself to invest
all funds accruing in Georgia, within the State, under the direciiou ol Georgia gentlemen, in
whose integrity you mtistliave entire confidence.
THE PIEDMONT gives 87l£ per cent, of net profits to her Policy holders ; Issues Gold Poli
cies to those who prefer to pay in Gold, or at .Gold standard ; has already declared 40 per cent,
dividend on all of its Life Policies, and, in short, offers all advantages that Southern men could
ask. We, therefore, confidently appeal to SouLlicrn men to sustain an established and perma
nent institution ot their own, and we cannot doubt the results.
THE PIEDMONT claims to be equal in the privilei/cs and bene fits granted its patrons, to any
other Company, surpassed by none, and superior to many, and only requests parties wishing to in
sure Dot to do so until they hive examined the merits ot this established Southern Company.
