Americus, Georgia:

Editor and Proprietor.
THTJ US DAY, AUGUST 1, 1867!
Convention or no Convention.
What say tlio voter of the Territory of
Georgia.’ Are you in favor of a Convention
or are you not ?
Before you decide this important question
ask yourselves which is the greeter evil (there
i3 nojess about it,) to remain as you are un
der a military government, despotic and op
pressive as it is, or to have a Constitution
framed by such a mass of ignorance and cor
ruption as will inevitably compose tlieCou
vention.
That it will be a motley mass, sn far as
color is concerned, there can bo no doubt.—
And it is equally certain that it will he the
embodiment of ignorance, influenced and
controlled by the deepest depravity that ever
marked the character or disgraced the acts
of ambitious men.
Xhc fiat has already gone forth that if the
“rebel States” holds Conventions and fbnn
Constitutions for their States respectively, ne
gio sufi'rage and equality must be one ot its
provisions, immaterial "ho compose the
Convention, even if it were compos, dost he
best men of the State, they are compelled to
incorporate this provision. So have deter
mined an irrepressible, Radical-, Rump Con
gress.
But if a Convention be held, few, if any,
conservative, honest, sensible men, will he
found in it. . It will be composed of just such
men as negro votes, controlled by Radical
leaders, sec proper to elect. And what con
dition under heaven can po.-sibly be more in
tolerable thau to live under laws made and
administered by ignorant blacks, under the
complete control of the most reckless, corrupt
party that God ever permitted to live on the
earth.
Language is too weak to depict the hor
rors that any nation or people must endure
when ignorance, corruption and ambition
rule.
Then aa the only means of avoiding such a
a calamity, prevent a Convention, at least
for the presei.t Times may get better ere
long, and te-construction tendered us on less
degrading terms At auy rate nothing cun
be lost by waiting. We are now experiencing
the nejolus.ultra of ties; otism, under the late
acts of Congress and if any change comes at
all, it must be for the better, it can't get any
worse;
Hence we say oppose the Convention, and
live under military rule till the crack of doom,
rather thau say by our own nets that the ne
gro is our equal, hot only civilly- and politi
cally, but socially.
Another Royal Decree from Bistirct
No.. 2.
In every State of the Union, North ami
South, says the Chronicle & Sentinel, we be
lieve the laws prohibit the intermarriage of
the white and black races. These laws are
based upon sound ethnological reasons, and
Lave received the sanction of not only the
scientificsavans of the world,but ofal classes
of statesmen and politicians We do not
propose to argue to-dav in support of these
wholesome restrictions against the amalga
mation ot iho races. It w ould bo an insult
to the intelligence of our readers to attempt
it. Our purpose is simply to call attention
to the following edict, which we find in an
exchange, of King Daniel t! c Ist, of District
No. 2, upon the application of a clergyman
in North Carolina asking if he would be au
thorized to marry a negro man to a white wo
man:
“The commanding officer is of opinion that |
under the Civil Rights Bid these inter-mar. j
riagea tire legal, and Rev. Mr. Hood is j
authorized to solemnize the ceremony in this j
case, notwithstanding the objection of County
officers. ”

A Chance yoR thf. Radicals. —The New
York Express calls the atten. ion of die Loyal
Lcagilc to the fact that some of the Eastern
manufacturers are considering the importa- j
tion of Chinese laborers. The plan is to
contract in China with the laborer for five
years’ work at a fixed scale of wages, con
siderably lower than that now- established
here ; or else to agree to furnish the laborer
with food, clothing and lodging, and to pay
a certain sum above that, which maybe con- j
sideredas the workman's profit. Ii is claimed
that the Pacific coast is drawing for its labor
supply on the vast population of China, to (
such au extent that she will soon be enabled !
to rival the East, in every branch of industry
unless cheaper labor can bo obtained.
All of which is very well, but what is of
more importune, these “men and brethren”
will all have votes, that is if they construe
the matter correctly, i. e , radically.
Ethridge and Maynard.
It appears that there is some truth
iu the rumor that Mr. Ethridge had a
difficulty with Horace Maynard at
Greenville, East Tennessee. We learn
from a gentleman who passed through
Knoxville that both of the gentlemen
named were on the train which stop
ped at Greenville for supper. As
they walked into the eating room,
Mr. Ethridge slapped Maynard in the
face for insulting language which the
latter had used in the canvass. May
nard did not resent the blow, and Mr.
E. walked calmnly off, as if nothing
unusual had occurred.— Nashville

War in Tennessee-
The Louisville Courier of the 27th ult- >
referring to the late difficulties in Tennessee,
says. “The outbreak at Rogersviße,T’etin
mentioned in our dispatches yesterday, is one
of the natural results of the Brownlow des
potism, and it is rot the first tumult which
has originated from Radical villainy in that
State, neither will it be the last. The iudig
nities of the people, insulted and trampled on
as they are, will occasionally have vent, and
when they can no longer restrain their dispo
sition to retaliate upon their tyrants the
wrongs inflicted upon them, blood will flow.
In this case it appears that the Radicals in
augurated the violence which testified in the
serious affray which occurred. We do not
doubt that Mr. Etheridge was hitter in his
denunciations, lie is a Litter man. Lie
does not measure his words or weigh his sen
tences. 11c calls things by their right names
and holds the Radicals up to their true re
sponsibility. This is of course exceedingly
offensive to the vile old miscreant who, as
Governor of the State, disgraces the seat he
occupies and misuses the power in his hands
The attempt now going otf in Tennessee lo
make the negroes and those who have so lit
tle self respect as to associate and Jaffiliate
with them, the ruling class, must, in the
very nature of things, produce collisions and
cause a shocking amount of bloodshed. The
superior race will assert its superiority and
i's lights, and trample under foot all who
would subvert or reyese the natural order of
things.
The negro is no match for the white man,
and no amount of flattery or cajolery will
raise him to a point where he will he the
equal of the white man in a struggle for su
premacy. The white man will not tolerate
permanent degradation, and when he makes
the effort lo rise above the loathsome fetters
which venal men have placed upon him, then
lire doom of the negro will be sealed. 'Theo
ries in regai and to the rights of the black man
and his capabilities ns a citizen, the neeessi
ty of his being invested with the ballot, and
hrs equality before the law, will amount to
nothing when the struggle comes. Fanatics
and self-constituted philanthropists and de
luded enthusiasts may mislead the negro and
inflate him with insolence and self-conceit.
hut the greater their success the sooner will
his doom be sealed,
There is not recorded upon the pages ■of
history, from the beginning of time to the
present day, an instance of a superior race
submitting to ah inferior one for any consid
erable length of time, ami there never will
he. It is contrary to the decrees of God.
and, in accordance with the great law of na
ture which bids the weaker give place to the
stronger, the negro must go down. The ef
fort to elevate him over the heads of nis Bat
umi superiors will only insure his swift de
struction.
brownlow may be re-elected lie proba
bly will, be, and the result will be accomplish-'
ed by negro yotis. This will of nurse make
the black j opulatir n more conceited and mol t*
insolent. They do not understand ihat they
are the tuple tools of designing men and that
they are rushing upon their lute In tlicir
ignorance they are submitting themselves to
the men who, without the slightest sympathy
with them, or a thought f r their welfare,
arc using them for the accomplishment o*
their own selfish purposes.
So long as the present policy is upheld in
the Tennessee wc may look for the frequent
occurence of such difficulties as that at Rug
ersville, and if they do not become general fi
will not be because of the forbearance of
Brownlow or bis minions.
Tennessee is the first of the Southern States
reconstructed bv the Radical process and she
stands to-day an advertisement of what mis
governmeut and fanaticism can do to inspire
universal scorn and contempt.
The Shooting Affair iu the KutianU
District.
Yesterday morning the colored popu
lation of our city was thrown into a state
of considerable ferment by rumors of a
shooling affair in this District, in which
from two to thirty colored poisons were
said to have been killed or wounded.
About 10 o’clock, a delegation pi col
ored men and some of the wounded ar
rived in tho city, and the excitement ran
still higher, and from vlie thousand-and
uno stories retailed by excited men, it
was impossible 'o glean anything reliable.
After sifting the matter thoroughly as
we could, we have come to the conclusion,
tram the lights before us, that the

and most unjustifiable affair, and one
that meets with the severest reprobation,
’ oi nut only our entire community, bu£ ol
j every responsible and right-thinking
! man iu the section in which it occured.
The plea of a previous difficulty between
the i oiorcd people themselves, in which
some of these supposed perpetrators arc
'said to have taken part and sided with
! one party, can form no excuse fir the at
! tack in question.
I It is said that the colored people—
| men, women and children—were holding
a prayer meeting in a bush arbor on Sun
day night last, ant the congregation had
scarcely risen from their knees when
they were fired into by a party of seven
—or rather sonic seven shots were fin and

men and women, some of them severely.
Certain parties in the Rutland District

This Christian gentleman, whose life j
since his early manhood has been de- 1
voted to minisiering to the Word, for
the past fortnight has been in this
city, laboring in the work to which he
had been temporarily assigned by the
Bishop of his church, and laboring,
we arc gratified hi learning from many
soui ces, with acceptability on the
i part of largo congregations who at

utter but the universal sentiment of
Atlanta’s old residents, when We
state that the recent visit of this rev
erned gentleman to our city was a
source of great gratification to them
all, irrespective ofChristian denomina
tions, and that the favorble impression
which he made upon this community,
thirteen years ago, have been more
deeply impressed upon the hearts at
least of his old wordly friends,
Christian brethren, and sisters. Pre
vious to the departure of Mr. Duncan
on Friday evening last from this city,
on his return to his home, we received
from him the following note, which
he will pardon us for placing upon
our record of passing events. On
j this Sabbath morning, we deem it not
inappropriate to offer it to our readers :
Atlanta,
My visit to your city has revived
pleasant, and some very mournful rec
! Elections. 1 have gazed upon famil
iar faces. Time, change, terrible dis
j aster, overwhelming sorrow, have
left their impress. But still, amid the
; sweet remembrances, the transporting
j hopes, the exhilarating anticipations.
; which the nightly exercises of old
! “Wesley (’lmpel” and “Trinity” have
enkindled and developed my old
friends an companions of thirteen
years ago, have uttered the heroic de
termination, that although all may he
lost here, the eternal fortune may be
sect; red.
How rich and independent of earth’s
heaviest calamities, : s the pious pil
grim ! Hark ! Said he of the Roman
dungeon
“All things are yours ; whether
Paul, Apollos Cephas, the world, life,
death, things present, things to come
—all are yours, and ye are Christ’s.”
I leave to-night for my Southwest
ern home. My mission for the pres
ent ; 0 ended. I shall cherish the
•ost grateful reinebrance of the kind
iMd courteous gentlemen of the press,
aim the elegant, and cordial hospital
itim extended to me.
Atlanta was once my delightful
ana highly prized home. 1 shall in
feed be gratified, if, in the merciful
’rovidence of Heaven, it may become
so again.
Since I was stationed her more than
a decade past, the angel companion
of my joys and sorrows has been laid
Oil the couch of her last repose. My
sweet first-born sleeps on the banks
of the Trinity Texas.. My gallant
sons poured out their hearts’ blood, a
useless libation on tho altar of home
and country. And (3! how many, I
once saluted, along these thronged
streets, have gone down beneath the '
