TUESDAY MORNING, 00T. 19,1869
PARKER PILLSBURY AGHAST.
That old, original, dyed-in-the-wool,
never-surrender, praise -God-bare-bones
Abolitionist, Parker Pillsbury, has been
visiting Charleston, and from that city
writing letters to the crowing hens who
edit a woman’s rights paper called the
Revolution. He gives some racy sketches
of his former pets, the negroes, and, from
the tone ofhis voice, we should say that he
had had doses of Unde Tom enough to last
him a life-time. We make some extracts
from his latest effusions, which are worth
reading. Hear him:
“Push woman suffrage at the North
against all obstacles and oppositions;
sparing nothing, sacred or profane, that
lies in your way. But meantime we may
rest the suffrage question here, for a period,
at least, until some much more elementary
culture and elevation is secured. He surely
must have a low estimate of the solemn re
sponsibilities of a government involving
the liberty, the person, the property and
life of every individual of that government,
who would force the ballot on thousands and
thousands to be seen all over the South. And
forced it was on many men, wherever the
slaves have voted; as much as were ever
their tasks in the cotton field. They knew
no more and cared no more for what they did
in voting than if they were as infantile- in
years as they are in citizenship and in politi
cal experience.
******
“ The white people here prate continually
of negro ignorance and inferiority. But
they should remember that they themselves
have had the teaching and the training of
them through ten of their generations, and
this, of which they now complain, is the
melancholy result. Intemperance here is
frightfully prevalent, and the colored peo
ple share almost universally in the evil.
The whisky here Is diabolical, and yet they
appear to love it more than anything else,
women as well as men. They drink it red
hot from the barrel, clean and pure, and I
have seen mothers pour it thus down the throats
of their six months old babes. And what is
worse, there are very few white men who
employ them to any extent, that do not
keep a barrel on tap, and furnish ife to them
whenever a better bargain, or more work,
can be had thereby.
“ The marriage tie is not even a beau knot
among them. There is no tie about it as a
general fact. On the plantations, very few
are born. Infanticide is common, it is said,
but marriage is rare, unless forced upon the
parties, and that is not frequent. In the
towns it is somewhat better than in the
country, but everywhere apparently, among
these poor beings, the legal restraints of
marriage are but little regarded. As to
any idea of comfortable housekeeping in
the rural districts, and they comprise
almost the whole South, it is all a mystery
yet to be revealed, even to its first prin
ciples. There are generally no stated
times for meals. No family seems ever
to be provided. The men cook their own
hominy or rice when they get ready, and
so do the women. It is eaten clear to this
day, as in slavery times, or with a little
most unsavory and untempting bacon, but
oftener clear than any other. Among hun
dreds of these poor beings, I have not seen
one knife or fork ; or any spoons but tin
ones, that were never worn thin by scour
ing. Thousands of slave quarters have no
floors, none of them a glass window, and
very few, where I have been, a decent chair,
still less table or chair. 1 saw infants and
very young children naked from morning to
night; and boys, of at least a dozen years,
with only a single garment, and that but a
scanty apology. Many women, young and
old, had little on above the waist, and no
thing below the knees, and were doing
day’s works that not a white man in New
England or New York could perform. At
a railroad depot, last week, I was detained
an hour for a train. Several colored wo
men were also waiting, some with a child
or two, whose heads they were diligently
exploring, and, as I saw, not without the
most loathsome success. One old woman
laid her head in the lap of a younger one,
and then a regular Ku Klux Klan search
was instituted through it, with results,
too, of which I need not now speak.
“ r lbe ballot mau be the one thina needful
there; but, it seems to me, soap, sand, fine
tooth combs, pots, kettles, chairs, tables, knives,
forks, spoons, decent food, cooking and cloth
ing, glass windows, and even looking glasses,
should at least go side by side„ if they may
not precede the rights of suffrage and of
sovereignty.”
Accepting this as the genuine view of
the negro from a rabid Radical stand point,
how the people of the East and West
ought to rejoice over the reconstruction
laws of Congress which have saddled them,
as well as the South, with such magnificent
sovereigns! All that is revolting in this
picture Pit.t.sbury and his crew are re
sponsible for—the poverty, the abjectness
and the crime, which were unknown under
the slave system of the South. In spite of
the extravagance of horror, we can hardly
help laughing to think how your self
sanctified Puritan has been brought to
grief, to grow into measureless retribution
before another decade. Nothing would
satisfy Pillsbury and his set but negro
suffrage, in order to check planter-power.
And now the pestilent old villain, hoist
with his own petard, yells out to Yankee
women to move heaven, earth, Congress,
Geo. Francis Train and the voters of the
North in order to check the irrepressible,
the everlasting, the vermiculous and baby
killing negro ! Stir up the strong-minded
females, Pillsbury, for a black bugaboo is
on the war-path and will not down even at
a common devil’s bidding !
Simon Pure and Sham.— Perhaps the
best feature of Hearth and Home is the
journal of Abij ah Wilkinson. Mr. W.’slast
report is from a State Fair in New York.
Treating of the genuine and the hocus
pocus in nature and art, Mr. Wilkinson
says: “You city folks doctors up most
everything, so as to pass for what it a’n’t. A
man don’t need to go farther than the milli
nery-cases and the corset-flxin’sin that fair
to know that. Times was, when you saw
a plump woman, you knew what you was
lookin’ at; and times was, when you saw a
man upon the bench —even if he was a lawyer
—you knew what you had; and I suppose,
for that matter, you know pretty well now.
Top of our court-house they used to put
the flgur’ of a woman wearing a handker
chief round her eyes and holdin’ scales; but
it appears to me the sort o’ woman that
gets set up round your court-houses in the
city has got her eyes pretty wide open, and
wears pretty short skirts, and gets on pretty
easy terms with the jedges. The blind
fold business has gone by, except with folks
that have got cases to be tried;—which
thank the Lord—a’n’t true of me uor yet of
Parson Bolles.”
The New YVar Secretary.— When
General Grant appointed General Bel
knap Secretary of War, the usual style of
query consequent upon the majority of his
appointments, viz: “ Who the devil is
Belknap?” resounded through the land.
The newspapers have promptly answered.
He is an lowa man; formerly commanded
the Second Division of the Twelfth Corps
of the Federal Army, and, just prior to his
elevation, was farming the internal revenue
in his adopted State. Before the war he
was a Douglas Democrat. He is now
about 40 years old, and is said to be a man
of good mind and sound judgment. It has
not yet transpired how much in money he
subscribed to make presents to the great
Ulysses.
Developing.— We learn from the New
Era that “ Col.” E. Hulbert has received
the appointment of President, or Superin
tendent, of the Alabama and Chattanooga
Bailroad, known as the Wills Valley Rail
road, with headquarters at Chattanooga.
Look out for a big scramble over his
prospectively vacant shoes on the State
Road!
-It Is calculated that should
in New
Rothschilds to Run Grant & Co.—The
envoy of the Rothschilds, Mr. Frignet,
is about to return to Europe, leaving be :
hind assurances that his principals will
negotiate a loan with the United States.
So, Rothschild will tun the Grant ma
chine, while Belmont, the agent of Roths
child, is ostensibly engineering the Dem
ocratic party.

A Corn Panic, —There is a “ corn panic”
out West. In New York speculation runs
in a golden groove; in Chicago it moves in
a grain rut. Speculators are keeping back
corn and a collapse is predicted.
Correction.
Messrs. Editors: In your Sunday’s
issue there appeared a paragraph noting
the death of Col. J. F. Cooper, of Atlanta,
in which it was stated that he was Lieut.
Colonel of the Eighth Georgia Regiment at
the first battle of Manassas. This is an
error. The gallant General W. M. Gardner,
of this city, held that rank in the old
Eighth at the time mentioned, and it was
in the discharge of his duties as command
ing officer of the regiment (Col. Bartow
Acting Brigadier General) that he received
the wound which has probably maimed
him for life. Upon the death of Col. Bar
low and the disabling of Col. Gardner,
Major Thomas Cooper, of Atlanta, became
Colonel of the regiment. I would state
that the latter officer had a brother in the
same regiment—Captain of a company from
Rome, Ga., whose name was J. F. Cooper.
This gentleman received a wound on the
field of the first Manassas, from the effects
of which he shortly after died.
If I mistake not, this family is not in any
way related to that of the Col. Cooper
whose death you have just chronicled.
The confounding of names has doubtless
been the occasion of your error.
Perhaps this matter was not worthy of
notice ; but I have thought proper to cor
rect the mistake, uot only in justice to Gen.
Gardner, but also “ to vindicate the truth
of history.”

The Ku Klux—Rescue of Oxford.—
On Wednesday night last, between the
hours of eleven and twelve o’clock, a band
of armed men—disguised—about sixty in
number, entered our town, sought the jail
first, anti then the residence of the sheriff
and jailer of Hancock county, for the
avowed purpose of taking possession of
the person of James Oxford, a prisoner in
the county jail, charged with the murder
of Capt. John Taylor. They first went to
the jail and demanded the key of Mr. Har
bin, who was in charge of the guard on
duty around the jail. Being told that Mr.
Rogers had the key at his residence, they
peremptorily demanded that he (Mr. Har
bin) should conduct them to Mr. Rogers’
residence, and forced liimto obey. On ar
riving at Mr. Rogers’ house, they surround
ed it, ami called for the sheriff. Mr. Rogers
opened his front door and found several
pistols presented towards the door, and
asked the parties what they wanted, when
they quietly informed him that they had
come for the jail key. Mr. Rogers remon
strated, but to no effect. They demanded
it in unmeasured terms, assuring him that
they would have it, regardless of conse
quences, admitting, at the time, that they
knew it was his duty to refuse it, but in
sisting that lie must go with them to the
jail. Mr. Rogers, Sliding himself over
whelmed by numbers, told them where the
key was, rather than have them search his
house and distress his sick family.
When they had got the key they sur
rounded Mr. Rogers, and in that position
marched to the jail; when at the jail door
they told Mr. Rogers that they had come
to relieve him of one of his prisoners, (Ox
ford) and that they would not molest any
other prisoner, or any civil person what
ever, but assuring him that they would
make such disposition of Oxford as should
forever relieve Hancock county and its citi
zens of his presence—intimating that they
were going to kill him as soon as they got
out of the town. They opened the door,
took Oxford out, and retired in the direc
tion of Sandersville, or the Shoals of Oge
chec : and thus ended the first visit of the
Ku Klux to Sparta.
The sheriff is wholly blameless, as resist
ance would have been foolish.

Mutiny on Board the British Ship Tiger.
We learn the following particulars in re
gard to the mutinous conduct of a portion
of the crew of the British ship Tiger, off
Tybee yesterday. The Tiger was cleared
at the Cuslon House on Friday for Liver
pool, and everything was in readiness for
the vessel to proceed to sea yesterday, the
pilot being on board, the crew shipped and
the steamer Ajax alongside for the purpose
of towing her from Tybee to sea. The
anchor was weighed and the ship gotten
under way, when it was discovered that
ten of the men who had been shipped the
day previous and brought on board refused
to obey orders or assist in any manner
whatever in the duties on board of the
vessel. Under this state of affairs the
anchor was let go. The position in which
the ship was anchored, not far from the
breakers, with a stiff breeze blowing, a
heavy sea running and not sufficient water
to float her at low tide, made it imperative
that the vessel should be again gotten
under way. The captain used very en
deavor to get the crew to' heave on the
anchor and attend to their regular duties,
but they appeared to be deaf to all entrea
ties. Captain Russell, seeing that harsh
measures had to be resorted to in order to
save the ship from damage, accompanied by
the first and second mates and pilot,
Capt. King, proceeded to the forecastle,
where the mutineers had retired, and at
tempted to force them to do duty. One of
the latter, probably the ringleader, upon
the approach of the captain, drew his
sheath knife upon him, when he was imme
diately knocked down and pretty roughly
handled. After this resort to force by the
officers a sufficient number of men were in
duced to go to work, when the anchor was
again hove up and the ship proceeded on
her voyage. The stubborn ones, who still
refused to do duty, have ere this gone to
work, as Captain Russell informed them
that not a drop of water or mouthful to eat
could they obtain until they saw fit to do
service. The cause of the munity will be
looked into by the agents of the vessel, but
the following statement is made by those
interested, to-wit: That the crew of the
Tiger was not complete, ten men being
needed. The requisite number was obtain
ed and taken to the ship Friday by Henry
Smith, shipping master. Smith was to re
main on board and settle with the men
when the ship had gotten under way at sea
and the pilot discharged. There was, we
learn, something over twenty dollars due
each man, but they never received a cent of
it; as Smith left the ship some time during
Friday night without the knowledge of any
on board, and came to town in his boat,
thus causing the disturbance on board of
the vessel.

The Supreme Court, in the ease of J. H. Mc-
Kee vs. the United States was decided. The
case involved a claim for cotton and other
property captured at Alexandria, La., by the
naval forces in 1864. The claimant was a res
ident of New Orleans, who traded beyond the
lines, under permit of a'Treasury agent, and by
virtue ol the license oi military authority. The
cotton, etc., was purchased from A. W. McKee,
a distnut relative of claimant., and an agent of
the Confederate Treasury Department. The
decision below, against J. H. McKee, is affirm
ed, the court holding that, under the acts of
Congress operating at the time, the cotton was
captured, and that any Treasury agent who
issued a permit authorizing (rade with the
enemy beyond the military lines did so with
out warrant of law, and the permit was void.
The permit granted by-the military was equally
void. The claimant bad never legal title to
the property in question, because it bad been
purchased from an agent of the Confederate
Government.
There is reliable information to the effect
that the Hornet is to be detained at Wilroiug

thought here that the ultimate result will be
that the Government will seize and dismantle
her, on the ground of a violation of the neu
trality laws.

To My Birdie.
Two little golden wings
Folded forever,
Two little birdie eyes
To open never;
A dear little drooping head
So sad to 6co,
Ah ! never again will his voice
Bring joy to me.
All hushed are his angel notes,
No more will they cheer;
His chirpings and greetings to me
No more will I hear.
He has vanished quickly away,
Like my dream of joy,
Aud left me alone, in this Hfe, ‘
With the cares that annoy.
Would that his little voice
Could cheer me now,
Casting the dreary shadows.
Away from my brow.
Sometimes I fain would fly
Afar from care,
And bo at rest, like him,
In peace fore’er.
How sad looks the empty cage,
Deserted aud lone, #
And a little voice from within,
Says “ Birdie’s flown.”
Snch is a type of life,
The beautiful lades away,
And what is left of our youthful hopes
Is the empty cage alway.

Sunday School Celebration— The ex
ercises of the various Sunday Schools at
the Presbyterian Church, on last Sabbath,
was even more pleasant than the most san
guine anticipated. An immense number
of our citizens were present, who, with the
little Sunday School scholars, filled the
large church. The singing of the beautiful
hymns of Zion by all the assembly seemed
like one grand anthem of praise, and deep
ly impressed those who listened with the
sacrcdness and glory of the cause which
could produce such a delightful result.
The addresses made by Messrs. Black,
Wallace and Derry reflected much credit
upon the speakers, and made an excellent
impression upon the entire andience. They
displayed much thought, careful prepara
tion, and a thorough devotion to the ob
jects of the Sunday School work, and were
delivered with a pathos and earnestness
which received from tlieir listeners the
warmest commendation. We rejoice at
, these exhibitions of zeal in our midst, and
truly believe that, under present auspices,
the rapid advancement of our Sunday
School interests, and the gathering in of
very mauy little ones to the fold, will be
seen upon every side. We offer to those
connected with the celebration of Sun
day afternoon onr warmest congratulations
upon the success attending it.
Bullock’s New Carriage. —The Atlan
ta Era thus describes the vehicle which
has recently been built in Boston for Rufus:
“ The carriage is a very substantial one,
finished without gaudiness, but with ex
quisite taste, and is elegantly mounted
with gold. On each door is the coat-of
arms of Georgia, and across it the letters
‘ R. B. B.’ twined into a very graceful gold
monogram. The harness is also gold
mounted. On the back-band and breech
ing appears an ornamental gold * B;’ also
on the blinds and headstall of the bridles.
The lamps are also gold mounted and the
finest we ever saw on a carriage. This fine
turn-out is now at Finney’s Repository, on
Broad street, where it is being put in readi
ness for use against the return of his Ex
cellency."
Now for the liveried outriders, and pos
tilions, to complete the grand entree of his
“ Bovinity ” in the sawdust opera at At
lanta during the present season. Little
Foster, the “ Busy Bee,” would make an
excellent attendant—he’s so accustomed to
stooping and picking up things. We nomi
nate him, just to keep him from taking the
State Road.

directing the attention of our readers to
the card of Mr. H. W. Moran, who adver

complete satisfaction in everything per

Costly Proceedings.— The Gold Ex
change Bank, says the New York Republic ,
was required to pay $15,000 to Mr. Augus
tus L. Browne, the receiver, for fifteen days
services, and $5,000 t© Mr. Aaron J. Van
derpoel, a partner of Mr. Brown, for legal
services Mr. Jordan is the new receiver,
and it is said he does not charge a fee, but
he is entitled by law to 5 per cent, ou the
amount of money received, which is sup
posed to be about $1,300,000 —making his
legal fees $65,000. Mr. Robert Baile has
commenced suit against the bank for the
recovery of $28,000, which he alleges the
bank owes him. By the time this institu
tion gets out of the meshes of the law 7 the
goldeu orange will be pretty well squeezed.

1 HE proprietor of this celebrated medicine just

cure of Ague and Fever, or Chilis and Fever, whether
of short or long standing. He refers to the entire
Western and Southwestern country to hear him testi

whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are
strictly followed and carried out. In a great many
cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and
whole lamilics have been cured by a single bottle
with a perfect restoration of the general health. It
is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain

week or two aft r the disease has been checked, more
especially in difficult and long standing cases
Usually, lliia medicine will not require any aid to

however, require a cathartic medicine after having
taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose

pretty large country practice, and have daily use tor
some article of the kind. lam free to confess that I
know of no remedy recommended by the ablest au
thors that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme. My
object in writing you is to find out upon what terms
I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can
get it upon easy terras, I shall übc a great deal of it.—
I am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to
the teachings and practice of a great ir ajorlty of the
regular line of M. D.’s, hut I see no just cause or good
sense in discarding a remedy which we know to he
efficient, simply because we may he ignorant of its
combination. For my part, I shall mike it a rule to
use all anduny means to alleviate suffering human

may have learned its effects first, and secured the sole
right to secure that knowledge. However, I am by
