The oath you have now taken of your mvn free will and accord, cannot now be violated without leaving the stain of per jury oil your souls. You have declared that under God, your first and highest al legiance is tu the Government of the United States. You have taken such an oath of allegiance upon the Holy Bible, Uouslitution ami declaration of Indepen dence, lying within the folds of the Hag of the Union. This contains the enduring records of our rights and privileges. The symbols of industry which greet you up on the altar, are to remind you of one of the main purposes of our order, and to n pie ,ni the foundation on which our institution rests. To strengthen and ele vate this, is to add to the grandeur and durability of the structure wo uphold.— The Hag is the ensign of our American na tionality -the visible emblem of the sov ereignty of the Union. Its stars repre sent, the sister Stales; its* stripes, the thirteen original States ; its colors, cour age, purity and truth. The Bible contains man's moral code and the priciples of his religious faith ; points out his dependence mi the Author of its being ; his duty to his fellow creatures - the reward of virtue and the punishment of vice. The i (eel a ra tine of Independence declares as self evident, truths, that ail men are created equal —that they are endowed by their Urenter with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It denies the despot's dogma of the "Divine rights of kings" to rule over mankind, it assert* that Governments derive their just powers Horn the consent of the gov erned, ami solemnly affirm.* the right of the American people to govern them selves as a tree and independent nation, j The Constitution is an instrument reduc ing to praetiee the precepts of the declara tion. It is liberty regulated by law. It defines and circumscribes the powers mid duties of the national government. It was ordained by the lathers, "in order to form a more perfect Union, establish jus tice. to insmvdomcstie tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the gen eral welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to themselves and their posterity.’’ The sword is .a weapon of protection and defense. I>\ it and the aid of Divine Pro vidence the independence of the American people was obtained. With it wo may defend the rights and liho. ties belonging to a free and loyal people, jealous of their country’s glories, greatness and grandeur. Lastly, the light you behold burning upon the .vitnr is emblematical of the most saeied tires of liberty that burn forever in the breast of all true patriots. We inculcate the spirit mid arts of peace as essential to national happiness and prosperity; but when foreign foes or treacherous hands o nspire to rob us of our national inheri tciieo, lot a million gleaming swords leap from their rests and turn every way to guard the temple of our liberties.

Perrj. of South Carolina. Greenville, S. C.. July 7. 1807. i ifessrs. Wettmorebi id, Ale.rmuhr Uarr.- \ Melon, Smith. Alston, and others : \ Gentlemen :- —-Your kind letter was ; received several daps since, a- I w:: -tun ing to attend court in an adjoining Dis ! trict. and I will uow give you, with great I pleasure, my views in regard to the un i fort unate condition of our country. ! The great u ■ beh.ro the Southern | people, is one of vital importance, involving | their honor. Constitutional rights and ro : publican principles. The Congress of the i United States, after excluding from their have declared, in violation of the Constitu tion, which they are sworn to support, that the Southern States shall disfranchise all their leading public men, and enfran j chisfc their former slaves 1 This dishonor, i political degradation, and civil ruin and I infamy, we are gravely asked to voluntarily* adopt by voting for a Convention in each one of tbe itzduded States . Last winter, the Constitutional amend ment proposed by Congress, reducing our representation in that body, unless we en ; franchised our freed men, aou excluding ! from office our public men (but not di - franchising thc-m), was rejected with scorn and indignation, andalujo-t unanimously,by i every Southern State. Now, the question ; submitted to us is, not only to adopt tin# odious and dishonoring amendment, but j to deprive onr public men, those whom we j have loved and honored through iil’e, of i the right of voting in all elections, and to conifer universal suffrage and social equali- • ;ty on the negro race. Having so recently ! I refused to adopt the constitutional amend ment, as unjust and dishonoring, it is passing strange that any honorable man j should now think ol doing so ! But it is more remarkable tbit lie -houid be willing to adopt the Military Bills which are in ; finitely more unjust, more degrading, and j more ruinous to the South. What lie.- produced this wonderful change in public sentiment? Bare fear I on the part of the people, and an infamous | ambition on the part of the politicians. 1 would to God that I could attribute it to | better motives. The politicians who urge ! the voting for a Convention, think that | their disabilities to hold office will be rc ! moved by Congress, as an unholy reward j for their treason to the South, to the rights i of their States, and to constitutional and i : republican principles! They care not for ; negro suffrage, or negro equality, or tlie i oil-honor and ruin ol their country, provid- I ed they can get into office and gratify their | selfish ambition. The people have been j .-cared with confiscation and the loss of; j their lands, with something worse imposed ! T.y Congre.-s, if they do not degrade them i selves by adopting the terms of tbe Mili- i | tary Bills. There is no danger, and can be no dan- | per, of confiscation onthepart of Congress. ! No one’s property can be confiscated till! • lie lias been tried and convicted of treason in the courts of the United States. This! cannot happen now, for ail have been par- j doried, with few exceptions, either by taking the amnesty oath, or special par- j don of tlie President. Congress has no J power to confiscate property, and if they had the power, they would r*)t, dare ex ercise it, in defiance of the opinion of the' | civilized world. It would be a wholesale robbery on their part, without being able; to share the booty. A man is not likely ! to rob or steal except for himself. Thad- j deus Stevens has over and over again proposed confiscation in Congress, without i being able to secure for it the support of his Radical friends. But there will be danger, and imminent j danger, of confiscation, in some shape or j other, if the negroes are allowed to vote j and hold office. They have in Virginia, ! Louisiana, Alabama and South Carolina, already declared their purpose of dividing out the lands. They will be robbing for j themselves, and not for others, as Congress would have to do. They arc ignorant and degraded, and have no regard for public ; opinion, which Congress cannot altogether I divest the world of in this enlightened j age. Confiscation of lands may be accom plished io various plausible ways, by the | negroes, in Convention or in the Legisla- j turn. They may ievy a tax of five or ten dollars per acre on all lands over one lutu- j died acres belonging to tbe same owner, ; and thus force him to sell or give away his j lands to avoid the tax. VVlmt worse than negro suffrage, and j negro rule and equality, can he imposed .on | us by Congress, I am at a loss to conjee- ! t.ure. It is impossible to sustain repul.ii- j can principles on negro suffrage. The ex- i periment has had a fair, full and most favorable trial in the Island of Jamaeia, and has been acknowledged by the British Government a failure, and abandoned. It ! produced constant disturbances, riots and 1 rebellions, destructive of all government. ; There must be virtue and intelligence of a j high order to sustain a Republic. It must j lie generally diffused amongst all classes, I and especially amongst all voters, or per- : sons exercising the right of suffrage. The j experiment lias been tried in Mexico for j the last forty years, and we all know the i result. It was tried in Franco during the present and past century. England at tempted it in iti 10. But all these trials were melancholy failures,* on account of 1 the ignorance and want of public virtue on j the part, of the masses, who wore, however, very far above the negroes of the present ! day. The man who votes for a Convention, founded on universal negro suffrage, is i voting his own dishonor, and the ruin of | his country. “It will,” says an able and | public spirited editor of Kentucky, “ brand j with infamy hi.-; name, which will cling to j it, and descend with it to his children so ! long as tho wrongs of tixi South arc re- j membered among men, or arc recorded in ! impartial history.” The inevitable result, \ of this negro suffrage will boa war of races, I in which all the horrors of San Domingo j may be re-enacted in tho Southern States, i The Black Republicans will not permit, the j negro to vote even in Massachusetts, un less he can read and write, lie must have a property qualification in New York, or he cannot vote, in most of tho Northern and Northwestern States ho is altogether excluded from the right of suffrage, no matter what his intelligence, virtue and property may be. In those States they have very lew negroes, and these few have been free for many year.;, haveaequivod some property and some intelligence. But they are regarded as unworthy of any po litical rights. In the Southern States, where they havo just escaped from slavery, and arc ignorant ■jumpers, they must be allowed to vote! The Northern people have acted on the ; principle at home, which we should re ! member atal endeavor to maintain, U at | this is a white man's Government, that ! the country was first settled by white ! j men, that our independence was achieved j by white men, and the Government or | ganized exclusively by white men and lor j white men. The negroes were brought j : here as slaves, and have continued as slaves up to their recent emancipation. They are an inferior race, incapable of self-government, and Professor Agassiz, of Massachusetts, has recently made mani fest that they had a different origin from the white race. It is asked what shall we do, if we refuse to accept the terms proposed by Congress? I answer, do nothing- Let us remain as we are, under a temporary military gov ernment, and wait for a reaction at the North. The Conservative party North are as much opposed to the oppressions and tyranny which have been imposed on the Southern States, as we are are our selves. They are daily gaining strength, and will be soon in a majority, and then our deliverance will come. But if we voluntarily rivet our chains, by voting for a Convention, and negro suffrage, and negro equality, all hope of redemption will be forever gone. Ignorance and baseness will be in the ascendant, and virtue and intelligence in chains 1 Property will be insecure, and agrarianism wide spread over the land and terrible ruin and despotism I will ensue, until every Southern State is j made a political and social pandemonium ! Instead of getting rid of military rule, ] we shall pray i'or its continuance as our j only salvation, as the only protection we I can have for life and property. Without ! it, the robber and the assassin will bid de fiance to society, industry will perish, and every one who can. will tlee his country. A military despotism will be a blessing to a negro republic. It has boon truly said, that no man can be disgraced except by himself, lie may be reviled, traduced and slandered by others, but he can only be disgraced and dishonored by his own acts. So it is with a people. They may I« oppressed and tyrannized over, and made to submit to every wrong and ignominy that human ingenuity can devise, hut they are not disgraced whilst they show a manly spirit, and pursue an honorable and patriotic course. A people mas be weak and powerless in the protection of their lives, their property and their liberty, but still able to maintain unsullied their honor, their integrity and their purity. These can be as well preserved by the weak as the strong, and preserved, they will only shine the brighter. This is the condition now of the south ern people. They have exhausted their strength and resources in a gallant strug gle, and must submit to the wrongs and oppressions which are heaped on them. But the day will come when even their oppressors will respect their manly forti tude, and their honor and patriotism, in their humiliation and suffering. \Ve have lost all but honor. Let not that be thrown away. i If any one thinks, by voting for a Con- I vention, disfranchising the distinguished men of the South, giving the negroes the right of suffrage and holding office, that the Southern States will be restored to their rights, he is greatly mistaken. It is not the purpose of Congress to let the ten excluded States vote in the next Presiden tial election ; nor is it their ptfrpose ever to 1 permit the representatives of those ' States their scat- in Congress, unless they up Radical, and will support tlie Radica . party. The exclusion of the Kentucky i delegation, when Congress met on the third j day of July, proves this fact. Who wishes to get buck into the Union for the purpose of being represented in Congress by Black Republicans ? This would only be increas ing the -’.length of the enemy by traitor# : from our own camp 1 It has been said with a view of scaring the people to vote for a Convention, that if a Convention is not called, Congress will pas- another bill disfranchising all who have been in the Confederate army. What Congress may do should never, and never can, influence an honorable man to an act of infamy an! self-degradation. The same sort of josuiiical policy might be urged to induce a man to muder hi# friend, to keep from bt-ine hung ! or to steal a horse to save himself the fatigue of a long ' journey on foot! But there is very little danger in Congress doing any such thing. They have not dared to enforce the infa n.ou- acts they "have already done, without the sanction of the Southern people them selves. They could have called a conven ‘ t:rn in each one of the States without submitting the question to be voted on by tht people-. But they knew the validity of a Convention called without the sanc tion of the people, on such a monstrous ba-is as that of negro suffrage, aud the disfranchisement of all leading public n>cn, wi-uld be disputed and disregarded. Therefore, with great cunning, they have i required the people to vote "for Conven i tion” or “against Convention." If a Convention is called, it will be the act of the people, and they cannot gainsay- its ; validity hereafter. Remember, you are ! authorized by the Military Bills to exercise . your own judgment in calling or rejecting a Convention. But if you vote for a Con -1 vent ion. you are voting for negro suffrage, negro equality with yourself, in holding ; office and setting on juries—voting to dls fraricbi- 'your a nd; tinguished inen whom you called to i :ol you in battle, and guide the ship of state in your attempted revo lution. Wili not a man with any sense of honor, revolt at the idea of securing his own polit ical rights by sacrificing those of his hon ored friepd.s and leaders ? An Italian Banditti, during the middle ages, would have spurned the proposition of pardon by | delivering up to punishment their chosen leaders. It is said “ there is honor among thieves.” 1 hope the Southern people are not -o cowed and demoralized as to he insensible to it. ’! iiat the demagogue and traitor, seeking bis own self-aggrandize ment, or the dishonor and ruin of his down trodden country, should be oblivious to such a feeling, is not surprising. Let every one, who can, register his ! name, and vote for members of the Con- ■ vention, and then endorse on his ticket, “Against Convention.'’ Iri doing this, he ! will have done hi- duty. It is necessary 1 that every one should register, although i be imty not be disposed to vote either for l or against Convention. He may wish to vote on the adoption of the Constitution. No one should disfranchise himself, which he will do, by not registering. Every one should vote for members of the Conven tion, although he is opposed to its con vening. If it does assemble, it ought to be composed of the best men the election district can present. Let no one refuse to register and vote, because he is disgusted with polities. Every good man will do every tiling in his power to save his coun try; and never despair of the Republic, while he is permitted to strike in her de fence. The newspapers have paraded the names of several Confederate Generals, who are in favor of Convention, and amongst them, . that of General Hamilton. I know that ; lie is utterly opposed to every feature of j the Constitutional Amendment, and the ! Military Bills, and concurs with me in all that 1 have said about negro suffrage. His purpose is to accomplish the defeat of ! those measures by getting the Convention to adopt impartial suffrage, requiring a property and educational qualification, in j all voters, black and white. A constitution ! with such a feature, would probably be re ! jected when submitted for ratification, and j if not then rejected, would be by Congress s when submitted to that body. In this I way, tho present reconstruction measures would all be defeated as affeetually as by voting down a Convention, j But, whilst L have a very high ’ regard for our Military Generals in the field, I ! have not the same regard for them iri poH | ties. They are not statesmen, and goner ! ally know but little of polities. I am. with great respect, gentlemen, V cry truly yours, <fec., B. F, Perry. Fred. Douglas on the Situation. MIST HAVE A BLACK MAN FOR VICE-PRESI DENT—WIIAT TIE THINKS OF GENERAL GRANT, ETC., ETC. 'The New York correspondent of flic Louisville Democrat gives the following account of an interview with Fred. Douglass on the situation. It will be seen that Fred, insists upon a share of tbe spoils for his ebony colored race, and we suspect that the Radicals will yet have trouble with their new-made friends. The intelli gent negroes already begin to see through the guise of pretended friendship, with which the Radicals'have sought to cover their intrigues with them for their sup port in the approaching elections. In several of the Southern States, and par ticularly in Virginia, they arc outspoken in their demands for equal participation in all the offices, State and Federal. Ac cording to tho Radical dogma of equality, this demand of tlie negroes is just and sensible. We are at a loss to perceive upon what grounds or pretext the Radical party can refuse to yield to the negroes a fair proportion of the spoils. We hope that the negroes will insist upon their rights, and force their pretended friends to acknowledge their claim or failing in that to expose their hypocrisy : Somebody yesterday asked Fred. Doug lass (black man) why he din t, go down South along with the rest of the Republi can orators, to help enlighten the minds of the freedmen, as to their political du | ties, etc. | “Because,” said Fred., “I want to train i alone. I want to wait until those mean j whites get through with their talk, and J then I will begin. I notice that in all the | speeches that Wilson, Kelly, and tlie rest ! of them have been making to the colored : folks at Richmond, Mobile, New Orleans and other places, nothing is ever said about j giving the colored men a Vice-President of their own color. But they've got to make that concession to us, and that is just what I am going down South to tell i our folks to insist upon.” “But, Fred., do you think the Radical ' uniting u s will accede to that arrange -1 merit ?” “I have no doubt of it, sar; not all. Wendell Phillips and Horace Greeley say they are in favor of it. and what they say has got to he done. They are the men who , run the Republican party along witli j old Ben. Butler, and whoever would run 1 with that party must do what they say.” j "But, do you think, if they nominate | Grant i'or President, that Grant will eon- ! sent to have a darkey on the same ticket I as Vice?” "‘Don't think anything about it. sar. Grant only counts one. It is not for Grant, or any other man, to dictate to the people. Vi’e are the people. Grant is but one of | our servants, sar. If he doesn’t like his ! company, let him resign. Plenty of others, sar. ready to take his place : plenty of others, sar.' “ Rut, even if they nominate a darkey : for Vice-President, what good will that do | you or your race ?’ “Don't talk foolish, child. It will do j us a heap of good. In de fust place, it \ will make a colored man presiding officer i or the Senate, and then, as the President i may die, ho- may be’President of the United States. That's my plan of recon struction. sari and until it is adopted and made successful, >ar. the Union will never i be restored- and the country will never ! have peace.” _ j There were other queries about to be i submitted to the distinguished man and brother, but just at this moment Reverend Doctor Choever came along, and after in- i trodueing Fred, to a blushing damsel (who was hanging lovingly ou his arm), the whole party vanished in the direction of ; the office ofthe Adi-Shivery Standard. The Crops in the Country.—Our ex changes bring us cheering news from the crops, and it is only in a few sections that anv fears are entertained hy the planters. In Spartanburg the growing crops on the bottom lands have in some instances lieen destroyed, but a large portion of this has been planted again, and the prospects are good, not only I'or corn, but for cotton and other products. Ihe rains have been felt more severely in the Pee Dee . country than in any other section, on count of the large quantity of low laud in that locality. These lands have been thoroughly overflowed, and the inhabitants feat not only a loss ot the rice crop, but that the large amount of water remaining stagnant in the swamps and low lands, when exposed to the heat of the sun. will cause sickness. — ('itar.

Chronicle k sett tin cl. 1"' ' ffEDIH BAT MORSISG, JULY 31. Tiie Physic Begins to Work. ! The’Cincinnati Gazette, a leading Radi- I cal paper, in its issue of the 24th instant, | has no less than ten articles upon the re- I cent Atlanta speech of tlie Hon. B. H. i Hiih The vigor, power and truth of that | great effort is felt and acknowledged i throughout the whole country. Its in ; fiuenee upon the public mind in the North and West is unmlstakcable. lienee we find tbe Gazette aßd other presses of its stripe are vainly endeavoring to parry its effect and weaken its force. Knowing that his arguments are unanswerable, they resortto the contemptible trick of mis | stating his positions, and perverting hi# meaning. They do not publish his “speech.' for fear of its effect upon the masses of their own party, but meanly strive to weaken its force by adroit allusions to him as a “rampant secessionist," and "unrecon structed rebel. Asa specimen of the manner in which 1 they attempt to reply to his argument, we give the following from the Gazette : “He tells the people of Atlanta, Georgia, that if the loyal party which put down the rebellion in arms, succeeds in its effort to reconstruct tbe Union on tbe foundation of freedom and equal rights, it wili be ‘the perjured assassin of liberty.’ ” Ot course the Gazette knows that Mr. Hill uttered no #uch sentiment. It makes this statement to its readers of Mr. Hill's position, but fails to quote his language. The Gazette knows that Mr. Hill proved that the Radical (loyal) party were en deavoring to destroy “freedom and equal rights”—that the Reconstruction Bills were in violation of the liberties of the Southern people—and that under these the white people of the South were dis franchised, while the negroes were given ! the ballot. But we have neither time or inclination to follow up, to-day, all the misrepresenta tions of Mr. Hill’s speech with which the columns of the Gazette are filled. The physic is evidently working well as is plainly shown by the contortions of the j patient. Tlie Murder of Mrs. Surratt. Mr. Drake, editor of the Union Springs (Ala.) Times bad an interview, some weeks since, with Thad. Stevens, in tlie house of the latter in Lancaster, Penn. During the conversation, Stevens said : “ The hilling of Mrs. Surratt was a cruel, unnecessary murder.” He adds: "It is no use to find fault with it now. It cannot he helped, and I suppose was done to gratify a morbid appetite for blood on the part of some ex treme people North.” Since this declaration of old Thad., the j trial of John Surratt, which has been pro- j gressing in Washington for tlie last six j weeks, has clearly proven its truth in j every particular. An important, question yet remains to be answered: Who are the parties responsible for this cruel and "un necessary murder?” The answer to this, inquiry, which is now being made through out the whole country, cannot long be de layed. When the whole truth is brought to light, many persons who are now filling high places in the Federal Government, will be covered with a load of infamy and execration which will drive them from association with honorable people, and hand down their names to posterity in the ! same black list, whereon is inscribed the names of Jeffries, Robespierre, Danton and ; Judas Iscariot. Contemptibly Traitorous. ; One of the Radical organs’in Atlanta, “ Little Dingy,” speaks approvingly of the following statements contained in a letter published in its columns on the 20th inst.. “ A great mistake has been made by not wiping out of existence the State gov ernments. * * I very much doubt if loyalty to the United States will ever return, to a great majority of the people of this State, so long as the present civil State government remains in force.” Here is a direct charge of disloyalty made against all of our State officials, from Governor Jenkinsdown to our court bailiffs, and which the editor of L/ttlc Dingy knows is absolutely and wilfully false. We are not surprised that lie thinks a great mistake was made in not removing all the civil officers of the State, for in such an event even ho, and others like him, might have got a fat office. The people of the State should mark well these declarations, for they show to what extent these Africanized white Rad icals would go if they had the power. It has been apparent to us, lor months past, that the mean whites who have gone into tho Loyal League Radical party in the I South, were determined to ostracise the respectable whites as soon they could se cure the power. These mean white people should be “ spotted” in every community, and the true men of the country should treat them just as their words and acts : shows them to be, persistent and malignant | enemies to tho peace and permanent union of tlie country. Factory Goods. — We learn that there has boon a brisk demand for Augusta Fac tory goods during the past week. Al though the market has been stiff, prices have undergone no change. Tiie Freedmen’s Savings Bank.—lt lias been pretty generally circulated in this city for the last throe days that the Freedman’s Savings Bank has suspended payment. Some of the freedmen Slaving called for tlie purpose of drawing out the money deposited, wore informed thatthe Ban it could not pay just now. The cause assigned for suspension is, that the money was appropriated to the sup port of the Loyal. Georgian. The freedmen are very indignant and make threats against the Yankee emissa ries, wlio is alleged to have swindled them out of their little savings. The negroes ofthe South will find out, to their sorrow, that they are being made the dupes and vietimsqf the white knaves, with black hearts, who are now prating of political rights and privileges and social equality. Trial of Vigilant and Gazelle.-- The steam fire engine companies, A igilant and Gazelle, were out Saturday afternoon, testing the power of their respective ma chines. The Vigilant threw, from the regular playing ground, on Broad, near Jackson, playing down the street, through 1 J-inelt nozzle, with 120 pounds of steam, 224 feet 6 inches. The Gazelle played on Broad, near Monument, throwing her stream up the street, 219 feet 8 inches through li-ineli nozzle. The playing was considered satis factory by the members of both companies, though it is believed the engines are capable ot throwing much farther when worked up to their full capacity. The Indians Springs.— Through private letters we learn that this popular and fashionable watering place is thronged i with visitors this summer. The Mclntosh ! House, kept by Collier, is now crowded with the most gay and fashionable party which has been assembled there for many years. We learn that this city is well rep j resented there, as is also Macon and Savan nah. Those who can spare the time will do well to make a visit to the Indian, where, while enjoying the heathful and exhilara ting waters, they can live elegantly at a much cheaper rate than they can at home. We learn that several of our parched and sultry citizens contemplate going up next week. Macon and Augusta Railroad.— We had the pleasure of a call from George 11. Ilazlehurst, Esq., the industrious and i energetic Chief Engineer of this important j mad, atid from him received the gratifying ! intelligence that the road would be com pleted to Sparta within the next ten days. The work has been delayed a little by an unfortunate and uncalled-for attack upon the tracklayers by some evil-disposed per sons. which caused many of the laborers to j leave the work, but the matter is now ' quieted down and the work will go on with , increased energy. | Track laying has also been commenced ; at Milledgeville and is progressing at a ! very satisfactory rate. The road will be opened all the way to Milledgeville early in j the fall—in time to move this year's crop i of cotton. } Southern Banner—The publication [ of the Southern Banner at Athens is sus- I pended for the present; cause- non-pay uient of subscribers and advertisers.

Oorn Drop of Middle Alabama.— The Selma Times learns from a gentleman, who has recently travelled over the greater part of Middle Alabama, that the crop is magnificent. The entire coun try looks like a land of promise. There is no doubt that the corn crop this year wili be one of the finest ever raised in Alabama. Registration in Upper Georgia.— Xlre Koine Courier learns that the follow ing is the result of registration in the coun ties named below : Murray—Whites GSO Colored 100 Whitfield—Whites 952 Colored 195 Catoosa —Whites 528 Colored 91 Walker —Whites 990 Colored 192 Chattooga—Whites 711 Colored 185 Gordon —Whites 282 Colored 83 Bartow—Whites 27(i Colored 151 Tlie registration is not completed in the two counties last named. Joe Brown and tiie Rads.—A cor respondent of the Louisville Courier writes as follows : I have one piece of good news among all the gloom. Joe. Brown is thrown over board by tbe Georgia Radicals, and lie now occupies about the position which the Third party does in Kentucky. lie is neither fish, flesh, fowl or red herring. Southern men refuse to acknowledge him. The Conservative Republicans have no faith in him, and the Radicals refuse to trust him. The negro trader has put his nose out of joint completely ; and even the Potash Farrow, who always wanted to be tray the Government that paid him, has a much better chanee of preferment than poor Joseph, who was “born and raised in Calhoun's district.” I understand that the cordial relations which used to subsist between him and Mr. A. 11. Stephens have ceased entirely, and that Judge Lin ton Stephens (brother of the ex-Vice President) openly denounces Joe in un measured language. In MUledgeville, where for eight years he “lived in clover,” none is so poor as to do him reverence. He wrote to a gentleman, who owns a pub lic hall in that city, to engage it for one of his last harangues, and he received for re ply : “I would not let you have it even it you were to pay me all the money from the Treasury of the State of Geor gia.” Another gentleman, whom he in vited to come and hear him speak, re plied : “lain thoroughly convinced that you arc a traitor to your country without hearing the confession from your own lips. ’ ’ In short, Joseph is played out. lie whines a good deal about ingratitude, and disclaims Radicalism, and is now a good deal in the situation of the donkey between the two bundles of hay. L witnessed the other day a remarkable illustration of the “better government of the rebel States.” I saw one of the first, best and most honored of Georgia’s most, gifted sons, mounting the steps of the City Hall in Macon, together with his servant, who was one of his slaves. The former went into a room into the right to pay a J large sum for the latter went to j the left to register his vote. The slave j governs and tlie master finds the money. [communicated. 1 Messrs. Editors .-- I am an old country merchant, and have been trading in Au gusta for a long time. I used to buy my boots and shoes from tho house of Conley, Force & Company, One of tho firm was named Benjamin Conley. In looking over ! your paper a few days since I saw that one of the officers of the Loyal League in your i city was Benjamin Conley. Now I want to know if tho .Loyal League man is the old shoe dealer or is it some freedman who lias taken his name? Since emanci pation tlie negroes have taken all sorts of names, so that it is hard to tell who they j are when you see their names in print. J The Ben. Conley that I have always traded with is, I believe, a Northern man by birth, but I have heard that he was true to the South during tjio war, and hence I eau hardly believe it is him who is tho Loyal Leaguer. As for that fellow Blqdgett, no one expected anything better of him. Please answer these questions, Mr. Editor, for wo country people are determined not to trade or support in any way a Loyal Leaguer ifwecan help it. Country Merchant. Elbert County, Ga., July 20, 1807. We cannot answer our correspondent, positively, but we believe that it is gen erally conceded hero by his friends, that the Benjamin Conley, of the Loyal League, is the person who is now, and who has been for many years, an extensive shoe dealer in this city. Wc believe our corre spondent is correct in bis opinion as to Mr. Conley’s place of nativity, but he has been for many years a resident of this city, and married, if wc are not mistaken, a Georgia lady, several years before tbe commencement of the war.— Ed. C. & S. Letter From Elbert. Eliikrtdn, Georgia, July, ISO 7. JStUlors Chronicle & iSeiitinel :—The corn crop iti tills county is exceedingly line. The prospect has not been so Pattering in several years. It is true, some localities were seriously injured by thedepredations ofthe bud worm, yet on the whole,.the signs indicate a heavy yield. It is to be regretted that so small a portion of our lands i« planted in this indispensable arti cle. Very many of our farmers consider it cheap to raise cotton and buy their pro visions. Cotton looks healthy and is growing rapidly, but poorly formed. Tt is serious ly feared by many tfiat if the rains con tinue, it will all go to weed and make nothing. The people are about finishing threshing their wheat. The yield is very handsome. It came in a very opportune time, giving rolief to many who were without bread or , the means of buying it. The oat crop is tolerably fair, but not so good as it iirst promised, on account of the damage it received from the rust. The freedmen are doing remarkably well. The most of them procured homes at the beginning of the year, and few in stances have occurred of thiir leaving them. I think this is attributable to the fact, that most of the trifling ones have emigrated to the West, and those who re main beiiind are of a more industrious and thrifty nature. A good many of our planters are work ing their hands in separate parcels on al lotted portions of ground, and the plan is considered a good one. By doing this a ! rivalry springs up between them, each striving to outstrip his competitor, tliere | by overcoming his natural indolent pro pensities. In fact, nearly everybody in this j county is doing something for alivelihood. I .Many who, before the war possessed atn ; pie fortunes, fully appreciate their losses, and are using" every honorable exertion to retrieve them. The ladies art a very eon ; spicuous part in this great revolution. They, too, realize the great change which ‘ has'taken place, and are accustoming themselves to the new status. ! Politics are dead with us except among the freedmen. They are rejoicing over their new-born rigiits in the form ofsoeie | ties, associations, &c. These they affirm | are benevolent institutions, devoted to educational and charitable purposes, but | it is well known that they are political organizations, designed to throw the vote ! ot the entire black population in one di -1 rection. They meet almost every week, i and discuss political questions, Recon struction, the Constitution and taxes, with the zeal of old political stagers.. The registration commenced at this place on the eighteenth and nineteenth instant. I have been unable to procure the correct number enrolled, as no estimate has yet been made by the Board. The blacks seemed wonderfully pleased with the frolic, and turned out cn masse. A few of them mistook it for voting and ordered themselves to be put down as Radicals. The Hon. B. H. Hill’s Notes on the Situation have produced quite a sensation ;in this section. The character of the writer, the greatness of the subject dis cussed, and the uncontrovertible argu -1 gumeots which he brings forward in sup port of his position, areawakening a spirit ofinquiry among the people as to what is their true condition and duty. Would it not be well if our former leading charac ters would come out of their retirements and advise the people as to the true policy they should pursue ? I hear but very little talk about a f'on veution, though" in some portions of the county I understand the people are deter mined not to support any man unless lie is a repudiationist. From this I would judge that .1. E. T. had some prospect in this eountv. Yours, *£c., Elbf.rt. Rather Fast. —There was in otlr town j the other day a gentleman from Harris county, Ga., who informed us that it was becoming a general practice among the colored females of his community to wash themselves in butter milk for the purpose of bleaching. This is the first attempt of the cotored Misses to change their appearance, that has cotne within our knowledge. The idea they have in view, if our in formant's statement is to be relied upon, is to get white men for their husbands. In this, he says, they have not in every ease failed. Can it be possible that white men are becoming so degraded in their own estimation, that they wiil make wives out of those nasty black wenches that are daily prowling over the country ? We hope not. — West Point Observer. Baltimore is to have anew City Hall. BY TELEGRAPH. ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES. From Europe.

Frank Wolford, who | was one of. the bravest and most active . among the Federal Cavalry leaders in Ken- I tucky during the late war, has come out | very decidedly for the Democrat:, and in a late speech, at Jamestown, in that State, is reported to have used the following lan guage : “I ever was and am a Union man, and desire to see every State in our Govern ment represented by a star upon the Ameri can dag. Those who are opposed to this are disunionists and rebels in the true sense of those terms. If the Radical candidate, Barnes, should be elected fairly, I say let him take his seat; and if Helm should be elected, and any power attempts to resist his inauguration, as soon as the electric fires flash the news through the country, a mil lion of American citizens will rise and as sert their power and rights, and I will buckle on my sword, inarch to the conflict without counting the cost, and proclaim to the world that ‘Americans will be freemen and not slaves.’ ” This is hold talk on the part of one who fought for the “Union” during the war. The address was received with great cheer ing by the large audience in attendance upon its delivery, and, says the corre spondent of the Louisville Courier, from which we make the foregoing extract, “told too plainly to the few Radicals present, that their cause is almost demol ished here, and that Kentuckians were getting in high earnest”—adding that “if the election was put oil' a few weeks long er, Radicalism, even in the mountain coun ties, would sink into perfect insignificance.” One hundred thousand majority is claimed against the Radical candidate for Governor in Kentucky.— Atlanta Intelli gencer.
