CIIAIUIJS.
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. (Here

I Another Letter from Kx-Gov. 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.,

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.,

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.

i Bold Talk.—Col. 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.”

On Friday, the26thof July, the exercises
of this school were suspended for the Sum
mer liolydays. Just before the dismissal
of the boys, prizes were presented to Mas
ters George Calvin, Win. Stubbs and
Charley German, for punctual attendance
and good recitations. Masters Calvin and
Stubbs also received prizes last December,
at the termination of the Fall Session.—
The school is in a nourishing condition,
tlio Boys’ Department numbering o.ie
hundred and forty (140); tile Girls' Depart
ment one hundred an.l fifteen (115). In
the Boys’ Department the average attend
ance tip to the first of July was about
ninety (90) scholars in the’morning and
| seventy-live (75) in the afternoon. During
a portion of the term, while the weather
I was very line, the morning attendance
varied from one hundred (loti) to one luiii
| tired and six (194), and tlio afternoon at
tendance from ninety (90) to ninety-six
(96). During the month of July there was
1 some falling off in the numherof scholars.
However, there was quite a respectable
attendance during the month, there being
presen ton the last day of the term fifty-four
(54) scholars. In the Girls’ Department
the average attendance during the first
and middle portions of the term has been
about eighty (80) in the morning and
seventy (70)’in the afternoon. During the
latter portion of the term there was also
considerable falling off in the attendance
of scholars, as many of them lived aL quite
a distance from the school, and stopped
coming as the summer advanced. The
deportment of the scholars in both Depart
ments has been very good, and for so large
Ia school, they have given'their teachers but
! little trouble. J. T. Derry, Principal.

GENERAL MAItlvE US.—The principal
occupation just now is to keep cool if you j
can. Our merchants are doing compara
tively no business. Trade creeps. There i
is no vitality in it, cxeept in bacon, which
is creeping up and moving away. Some j
qualities are influenced by the advance in j
the Western markets, while others arc !
doubtless moved by 94 degreos in tlio I
shade.
Our merchants, however, do not despair.
They look forward to a brisk fall trade.
