ELBERT COUNTY.
Mr. F.qitor I pend you an abstract of the
positions taken in a recently delivered
in this county by A. T Akmman, E q They
have excited much interest in this and the
neighboring count es, and Lave brought the
business of the Convention directly home to
the thoughts of the people
The speech did not < *• and ii empty generali
ties, but gaveu'i what tbe country most’w mts—
plain and distinct proposuior '. Tk so &*e
evidently the IruHe id much reflection, and
were set forth in the speech with fulness aud
ability to which this meagre sketch does littie
justice.
As the suggestions of ji m’nd no‘ed for sa
gacity, calmness, and independence, they will
be read with interest by most persons ia Ihir
part of the State, and perhaps by y ,ur readers
generally. ' Coxsxaxs.
Elbert County, August, 1865.
Cullloraof a Upeerh nta Vteetlnf* in Elbert County.
August IStii, by A. V Akarmsn, t*.k<j
The people of G-ot-a.a v ,s b.> >n meat in
Convention to rel udd t!= r shsto re,l Sat
Adhering in the erai 1 to the o’d form of
tJovernmeut, b:c rose if i-nlts the grnlo.i rjrd
habits of the people, we must al o adopt our
institutions to the changes which too war has
wrought In our condition
As specific propositions, I would urge the
following :
First, The Convention should recognise and
affirm, by an ordinance to re mu'a in force til;
the Legislature s-md otherwise enact, alt she.
actß of the General As-.- mb'y since sece. fioi,
that are consistent with the j.ie.ent state ot
ass urs
Second, In the same Way and to the same ex
tent, tho ptoceedings of couit- and of those
wh« have acted as civil ofli c-t 3 saouid t,a j O .
galizod
Third, The new constitution phon’d declare
that (slavery has ceased and shall no longer ex
ist io Georgia.
Fourth, T he Con titution should ordain that
in any system of common school education,
which the L gislaturc may orabiish, i-rovis
ion shall be made f r Macks r»s w 1 1.3 w it. <.
This is required, both by good policy end hu
inanity. It will weaken the opposition at the
North to our resUMipuou of .State functions.
{Since the blacks must hei.ccfr.) te provide for
ihemselve?, they nc*-d t-duvalion to qualify
them for this new duty. Since they mu.it live
as freemen, ia the same country wi<h us,
everything that improves rbcni will benefit us.
The denial ot educa ion to them has long die
turbed the consciences ot marry of < ut relig
ions men ; and it docs a ■ m h mockery to scud
missionaries to educate ihe blacks in Africa,
dat the same time make it a c ime to edu
uu here. The .change in their condi io:i
cate 1. tt jl pretext tor this inconsistency
taken aw. <or their education will trai.quil-
A provision ♦*,* adult blacks, by provirg
iso and satisfy . to their race, A
that we are not un. 'teat class, however' low
discontented and reset. te j*ny W&to.
in social rank, is an evil j. -»jpom a nervous
Sornf. oppose their educutio. to social
fear that it wilt raise the ne 0 ndt. ss
equality with the whiles. This i ri K j.’,
for the instruction will of course bog,,
separate schools. At p o.euf, the Seate n.
be to»poor to educate hei needy children oi
either race, li.it l here is a rtsas aahle hope
that prosperity will si. if, vivo, tw.J then our
means may bo adequate Ii ar-ldidou to the
btale railroad and ttie taxes on proourty, we
Lavo ano'her great source ot revenue, mi,
much drawn upon hitherto, in tho poll tax
'Persons as such, inde •nce. jtly of their prop
erty, employ much of the attention of govern -
ment, and ought to coidiiijUto accordingly
As the blacks, lor tho pr. sene, will have but a
trilling property, the only way to make them
pay a just chare of tho public expenses is by a
poll tax. A light tax on t». ry poison of every
ago and color could easily l.c paid, and would
soon raise a valuable school fund for both
white and biack.
Fifth. The Constitution sbou-d ordain that
African blood shall disqualify bo person from
tesfitytug in our courts in my cuv.
Without this Tight freedom v.jii he w mriera
ble state for the black man. liutertn he has
never been a party iu our Courts, except ui
a criminal, and thou ire has ban' < s ,Ji,l o
his master uni the L uinip. y of persons ot
his own color. New lie has lost th? t; id, and
will ofteu appear a> a lit g infc in civil cases.
It will often happen that none hut negroes
will be witnesses ol' his t-rai action c,nd m
less thffir testimony i: m-.-Jvvd he w’itl be the
prey or unprincipled white men. Our old laws
conceded that the t uth could not be got
fiom blacks, by allowing fluTn testisy s in
one class of cures, sometimes involving the
life of the slave aQd the property ( ,1 ilio 'inas
ter. Truth is what we seek i>, tho inve.diga
tions of the court house, and i we get it, the
channel through which if O ' >ies h an unes
sential matter. As long as uouo but whites
Bit in the jury box, tlnre i a uo danger that
black testimony will 'navo undue weight.
With all the paleguerdo c f croso lamination,
the penalties of pei the proueness ot tho
negro to be impresses r,y the solemn oath,
thf inherent difficul fy of contriving and ndlier
ing to a ij e , tue fear that white
litigants will he <njuicd bv the perjury of
black witnesses la altogether ima-.;in»i-y. Tiie
whites themselves w 11 olten he eald to make
use of this cl of w itue ses. If we do not
grunt this r',ght from motives of justice, v.e
should do go Irom policy. Wiihout granting
it, there no probability that our Stale gov
eminent W ili be n-cognizcd at Washingba.
Public opinion at iho North inllexi! ly demanor
it. /'/he United Piute- cuth ritivs rtquire this
test ,mony to bo received m the military tribu
na’iß which they have > ./.alrished among us.
The reason officially assigned by Gon. Howard
for withdrawing ad ju which tha black
are parlies from cur c-i Vii tril-unalH is mat tne
latter, under old codes, refuse too negro the
right to testify, it is bet‘or lor ns to yield
something,Thau to chum to much and lose
all.
Sixth, Tho Constitution the uld restrict the
right ot suflrage to the wtntei'• A sufiicitnt,
reason for this is ot the blacks
for exercising that mv.t worthily. The addi
tion of such a mass <'f ignorance to our voting
popuiation would thoroughly deb.i teour poli
tics—already had enough, gelir; .ge is not
essential to freedom, or veu to c uizanship
Worneu and minora, though citizens, do not
vote. It there should he good feeling between
the races (and why should there net be,) she
whites will have no motive to ex.rc. ’so their.
Jolitical power to tho injury ot the blacks
a real ty, whatever rea-ons may app Jar on
the surtaco t<\ the contrary, tho inti rests of tho
two races are identical Both want good laws
and a 'Vood administration of them The offi
cer*\, of ihe United States i.mong us, have Re
sumed that tho blacks are inrapab e of com- j
non business y declaring them "the war ds ot
government.” Wards are not allowed to vote.
If they cannot take caro of th wselvea, h° w
can they take caro of the country ?
Seventh, A wild opinion being current in
some pans ot the State, that the Convention
ought to repudiate private debts, tho speaker
declared his unqualified opposition to it. The
effort to repudiate, is 'oohsh and dishonest,and
will be tortile. The Constitution forbids >iho
States to impair the obligati nos contracts.
Every voter lor members of the convention
must first swear to support the Constitution,
and will therefore he B\v».rn against i pudla
tion The federal courts would disregard
such action ot the state, and entoic tha ciauus
non-resident croditois- It would put a stig
ma on the State trom which it would not r«
covei" f»>r two generations. '1 he example
anerniu a crime and ti e sophistry i>y which
it would be defended would prevent tho senti
meats and irrupt the morals of the people.
Tha anmn cut in favor ot it is that those

In conclusion, the speaker express#*. ' tbe
opinion that notwithstanding the heavy , ca '
1 amities that have befallen u?, an encouiaci p -"
amout of prosperity is ret within our learn'*
With our benign climate—with our excellent
geographical situation—with our fertile soil
and precious production?, industry aDd frn
uaiiiy will soon repair the ravages of war.
Tho on’y doubt arises from the apprehended
indolence of the blacks, which may Drake an
incubus on the whites. Tats doubt may pos
sibly be well founded. But let us not indu'ge
100 readily in sinister prognostications. The
free nerrro has never been fairly tried in Ameri
ca In Hayti, at the outset of bis career, he, was
barbarized by submissive wars, and had no
aid from a superior race. At the North. be
encounters an adverse climate and the com
petition of a dense population. At the South,
M has been treated as a nuisance because his
presence was thought hurtful to the slave.
But now that he is freed among 113 by political
and( rangements in which he lias been passive,
and for which he is blameless, let us g-v*r him
a fair opportunity A bigoted expectation
that this experiment will fail may realize itself
by the obstacles that it will place in his way.
Let us help and encourage him. We have
professed to bo the true friends of the black
man. Let us prove that this friendship was
not altogether selfish, and did not cease when
we cea icd to own him. Lat ua not persecute
him, as we persecute snakes, for the mere
crime of existing, whiie, we must repress Lis ex
cesses by ike heavy hand of the law, we should
remember that much charity is due to his errors.
Hie condition has been suddenly changed, and
no wonder that he is frequently off his balance.
A little stern experience will perhaps restore
him to steadiness. But if a fair t r i! demon*
tratos nis existence here is incompatible with
ours, then we may resort to extremities with a
safe conscience.
Passion and prejudice must not sway our
political action. IRr'ess reason hud conscience
l ike tho ascendency, we are ruined. Oar but
iies, loafers and abstractionists afoul 1 no
longer be the makers of pubic sentiments
among us. Uui rulers should study the wet
fare nd ivfl ct the sentiments of tho indus
trious closes. A Fpirit of eullenness, of gas
conade <>f turbulence, of revenge aud of hatred
is ill suited to our present state. We want a
pirit of Older, of enterprise, of conciliation
and harmony _

Haggles of Dartmouth College had a very nar
row escape ct Niagara Falls recently. While
walking on Goat Island wiih a party of ladies,*
one ol them dropped her parasol, which slid,
scmo fifteen or twenty leet down the bank of
the. river. Mr. Haggles went down and picked
if up, but on attempting io return, the -bank,
being sleep, and the ground hard, lost, his foot
ing and foil down to the very brink of the
precipice, which at this point ia eighty o
ninety feet high. Here he crught hold of tho
roots of an upturned tree, the tnmk of which
bangs over tho abyss. The shock caused the:
tree to shrike violently, and it appeared on the
point of falling over the precipice. The ladies
shrieked and called for help, but no assistance
was at hand. A movement on tho part of Mr'
Reggies, or a gust of wind, seemed sufficient
to cause the tree to fall. At this critical mo
ment cue of the indies took cf!' her basquine
and skirt, cut them into strips, got shawls
and other article, of clothing 1 roar the rest of
the party lied them together, fastened a stone
to the rope thus fortified, and let it down to
Mr. Buggies, who, taking hold of it, walked
slowly up the bank. It was a moment of fear
iui suspense. The rope was held firmly by
tho ladies above, bn tit might untie or break,
and a fall of a hundred feet on the rocks be
low must bo the inevitable result. When Mr.
Jluggles reached terra tirma, his lair icscuer 1
who had shown such remarkable presence of

A Cnuous Yixk.—a curious vine, says the

in some of the gardens in this vicinity. It is
a parasite and readily atiacht3 itself to other
plants. The vine is about half the size of an
angle worm, is of a iight color ami appears
very tender, but it is almost impossible to kill
it. Oue of these vines has fastened itself up
o r Judge Baidan’s potato tops, and it climbs
from oue plant to another without difficulty.
If broken into pieces and thrown upon the
plants it soon winds itself around tho Ftems.

of banana uml piantain are eaten in a variety
of ways. They form alike the savory and

with butter, they are considered a great deii

The Secret -■? Good Writing. — We are at
first to import knowledge, says Dr- Channing,
then to export it. Write daiiy and elaborately,
if only for one hour, Avoid verbidge, do not
multiply, but select your words, aud lop off
redundiances as you would scat #r chaff. In
the hands of a writer who adopts these precepts,
a multitude of words is not verbiage, because
each gives some new view or adds to the effect
ot the old. There is a strength ia his splendor,
because there is a weight as well as brightness
in the metal. Nothing so fixes and consoli

know the nature of the Southern people well
enough to know that performance of that du
ty or indeed in the ac-s they undertake to per
form, they do it heartily and frankly. Now
that they come to me, ihey underet nd me as
saying that we made the issue ; we set up the
union of States against the institution of slay

Gid of battles ; 'he argument was the sword ;
the issue was fairly and bonerably met. B>th
the questions present have been settled against

honor prevailing It i? said by all the issue
was oiri'B, and the jagement has been against
us. The dtebic-n having been made against

Court of Alexandria county. Under tha old

In the case of Waters, a Gee negro thus tried
and found guilty, a motion was made in arrest
of judgment, on the ground that tea prisoner
was entitled to trial by jury and couid not be
legally cf»nrioted of a felony except by the
unanimous consent ol twelve men, according
to the section of the bill of rights. The motion
of the prisoner’s counsel was sustained, the
court bolding that the provisions in the bill
of rights included ail free persons, a construc
tion which i? said to be sustained by the usage
and laws of Virainia from 1776 to 1832, at
which latter date free negroes ;n case of felony
were by an act of the Legislature placed upon
a fooling with slaves with respect to the form
of trial.

New York Dry Goods Hark
The excitement in dry goods has some
what abated from last week. Western buyers,
having bought a liberal assortment of goods
are waiting until they have sold part of their
stocks. Inure are, however, sufficient buyeis
here from other sections to keep the market in
a state of healthy activity. The excitement
lias produced a partial speculative demand.
There are those who have courage to buy up
cotton goods at prices leaving the manufactur
er 50 to 100 per cent- profit, in the hope of rente
iziog a further advance. It would not be biir
prising were these parties to find (hat the
manuiacturers have a few more goods than
they would have the public believe.' it. is ia -
possible tho present quotations should "be
maintained beyond a very short period, as it
will be an exception to all experience if the
immense profits now being realized by the
producers do not very speeuuyiesuit in a large
increase in the supply of goods. At present,
however, the tendency of prides continues to
be upward. Many ot the leading undo s oi
