The straight-out-and out Democracy will carry the State by an overwhelming majority. The Louisville •Journal deals .-.ome straightforward and tolling blows at the mongrel party who arc now working for the destruction of the country: “What is all this coil about ? Why, the party in power, the Radical party, having put down the rebellion with the blood and treasure of the people, refuses not only to restore the Union, Gut even to reconstruct it, except on the condition that the perpetual upromaey of the party shall lie guaranteed by the disfranchisement of Southern white i and the enfranchisement of Southern blacks, as it has been guar antied already in oiih of the eleven .States that revolted, and, for tlio purpose of such reeonsl ruction in general, lias wholly abolished the ten other States that rovolt od, siting tip in their places five military dc potisms, under whose direction the abolish, and States are to In so made over as to furnish without perad venture the required guarantei while three States that adhered to the Union, Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware, are asked not merely to approve tic abolition and remodelling of the South ern States for the purpose of guaranteeing the perpetual supremacy of the Radical party, hut to consont to be themselves ulmh-dicd and remodelled for the same pnrpo.se ; and Kentucky on Iter own be half i now to answer this modest,request at. the polls. Tills is what the coil is all about. What answer shall Kentucky give ? Shall she approve the destruction and dishonor of the Southern States and consent to her own destruction and dis honor or not '!

They, too, have adopted the swathing system, and one sees nether garments now that are not only in expressible but inexplicable. How their wearers get into them, how by any process except bandaging these wonderful append ages arc donned is a marvel.

I The St. Louis Biudge—How tiie , Mississippi is to he Spanned—The I Finest Bridge in the World. — The St. iiouis Democrat ays plans have been ac cepted toi the construction of a bridge | acres- the Mississippi at that point. Its estimated cost is $5,000.0*30, and three or I four years will be required to perform the ! work. The Democrat thus describes tbe j structure : We have seen the plan, and wo may be | allowed to say—who have dertainly seer. I some of the greatest bridges in the world I —that this will cap them all. In mere ! length, there are* many that snrnass it. j There is the Victoria Bridge, over the St. ! Lawrence, which is two mile- long: there ! is the bridge oier the Ne’ouda, which is a mile and a half; there is the bridge from i Bassem to the mainland, which Ls over I three miles in length. But none of these ! bridges are marvels, because, in none i. there an extrordinary breadth of span. ' The style adopted by Captain Eads is i somewhat similar to that used in the struct ! ure over the Rhine, between Coblenz and Ehrenhreitstein, but tlio span there is oniy ! .{OO feet. The bridge over the Thames at . London, called 'Southwark, which is near -1 Jy of the same material, but infinitely more clumsy, and with an extensive waste of material, which by no means adds to the intrinsic strength, has a span of 240 feet. But it is the great feature of our bridge, which will cost nearly five millions, that it will accommodate two double tracks*of rails—^one broad guage, the other narrow— foot passengers and street railway ears, and will not interfere one whit with navi gation ; for of three arches which will .-pan together the shores of St. Louis and Illi nois, the central one is 515, and the two side ones 497 feet. The two piers which will support these glorious arches will lx: such tremendous masses of ma sonry as to take back the mind in voluntarily to the Cheops and Ceph renes and their pyramids among the yellow sand:- of Egypt, and within sight of the tranquil winding Nile. Sounding made recently in the river have indicated a remarkable change in its bed. The high water being compelled to flow through the narrow channel framed by our wharf , and the rivetted shore of Bloody Island has cut out the sandy bottom eighteen feet lower than when the same soundings were made last April. Yet this location is per j haps the narrowest place in the river with- j in ! ,500 miles of its mouth. From this ' cause it lias been absolutly necessary to j place the foundations of tie- piers upon ; the rook itself, which is from fifty to seven- j ty-five feet frofn the sandy bed. Taking j this into consideration, the pier at the ! deepest part of the river will be a mass of j masonry 100 feet in height, 110 feet in width, and with a breadth tapering from 1 55 to 40 feet. The other will probably be 170 feet in height, as the rock is met with some 30 feet nearer to the river bottom. The roadway for foot passengers and double track for horse-cars is above Broad way level, from Third street to Washington j Avenue, to beyond the dyke in Illinois- i town. Below and supporting this roadway : are the arches, which are formed of four ; rihlied arches of cast-steel, each placed | seven feet apart, and held in their posi- j lion, one above the other, bv a system of diagonal steel braces between them. These braces arc in the shape of a letter V, being strengthened in the centre by a perpen dicular brace of tlio same material. On these ribs arc the strong vertical struts or posts which support the carriageway, and which are not only of sufficient strength for that, but also to support the railway track which is suspended from the road way. The railway will contain, as we have noticed before, two double tracks, one4 ; sl feet for the narrow guage, the other six foot for the broad- These will pass be tween these ribbed arches and through vaulted openings in the piers, and will en ter a tunnel between Second and Third streets, on Washington Avenue, in a straight direction as far as Ninth street. There the lines will curve to the South, and Continue under Eleventh street, from Olive to Clark Avenue, where they will terminate on the south side of the street. ] The break in Eleventh .street, at Market, will necessitate a slight curve in the tun nel that will cause it. to pass under the to bacco warehouse. Os course, at the end there will be a great union depot, but the exact locality has not yet been determined. Constriction op Hot Beds. — I. J. Simonson, of fcprinkvillc, Staten Island, who had an experience of fifteen years in tlio cultivation of plants under glass, and understands this work entirely, gives his I experience in a late number of the Work- j iny Fanner. After preparing the sashes, j (I feet long by 3J wide, Mr. S. says of the building, that the pits should be 6 i'e.et ! wide and as long as the number of sashes : , The dirt taken out ol‘ the pit can be : hanked against the sides of the bed. The ! sashes should over-run the bottom of the | bed-board, to carry off the water. Alter j putting the end-pieces across, the bed is finished. Mats are often used for covers j of hot beds early in the season. Fait, hay; or straw is also used ; but mats soon wear | out, and hay gets among the young plants, giving them an untidy appearance and often injuring them. Tiie best thing is to have an extra sash ; it gives the most per ; feet protection, and is easily removed. 1 n extremely cold weather it is necessary ! to have the covers remain on, mats or hay keep the {limits in dartcncss, an l if this | continue for three or four days the*plants become sickly and spindling, The sashes I admit suflioicuc light, and by the time it is I necessary to use the extra sash for trans ; planting, the weather is sufficiently inod | crate to dispense with it. The most por : leet hot beds 1 ever saw were covered with ! double sash ; the plants were grown in a 1 frame covered by six feet sash ; another i frame, made around the bed two inches ! higher than the first, takes a seven feet | sash—making a bed that will stand the I most severe weather and at the same time give sufficient light. The heat most used for hot-beds is that made 1 rout manure; this gives a heat suffi cient for a spring hot-bed. But tho best heat is that produced from allot water ap paratus, used lor heating green-houses. It is more easily controlled than manure, and is cheaper where, there is a large co!- ledtion of beds, but too costly for common use. We will therefore give our method of making a hot-bed by the use of manure. After the bed is made ready by carefully leveling the manure, the dirt should be placedlightly upon it to the depth of four inches. The soil is a very essential part of the hot-bed, and should be a light, rich loam, a little inclined to bo sandy. If the soil is too .heavy a thin coat of sand im proves it. The sash may now be placed on the frame and left for two or three days til! the heat begins to operate, when the seed can be placed in the ground. The ; be.-t way is to make drills across tiie bed , three inches apart—seeds may then be : sown. Large seeds need a deeper cover ing than small seeds. Radish and . similar seeds needs a covering of throe-eighths of an inch, tomatoes a quarter of an inch, while tobacco, celery, Ac., maybe sown on the surface. _ , ■ The beds above described are. for seeds ; that need a strong l>ottom heat, such as i egg plant, tomato, pepper, &c.. but cab bage, celery, caulillower, and seeds of a cold nature! ueed no bottom beat. A few : indies of manure should be used for un derdraining and keeping the ground in a light condition . the seed may lie sown the same as in the hot-bed these are called odd frame plants. • In a few days most of the plants will be gin to show themselves, and great care i should now In; exercised—the full force of i the manure and the hot sun on the glass 1 give the plants too much of a growth. 1 They should be carefully ventilated when the heat gets above sixty-five or seventy degrees; this advice applies only* to hot beds, eold frame plants need a lower tem perature. If properly ventilated, the plant will have a dark, healthy green color, and grow stocky, if not planted too close to gether. It is equally important that there ■be not too much ventilation, “'atering is also a very important part of p’ ait culture: j few plants will stand drowning; and very few to lie dried up. There cannot be a j regular time-table as to when plants should i be watered; this must be learned by expe i rienee. On dark a i overcast days very i little water is needed, but a hot day with a ' warm wind dries out the ground very last. In watering . oung plants do not put too ! much in one place, but spread the water ! over two or throe sashes at a time with a fine rose—which gives it time to drop from the plants and keeps them from foiling to : the ground and being injured. Seeds sown by the first of March (when they are iu ' tended to be transplanted) should be trans i planted by the first of April, two by three : inches, with a little manure at the bottom, ; an old hot bed being preferable.

Th< proof is conclusive that I the line of policy advocated by these pa I triots and ■qatcsuion is the only one on | which our people should battle for their Constitutional right.-. V' hatever Radical demagogues and Radical newspapers ap prove, the Southern people should con demn.

Hear how the galled-jade wriggles: thk bap advisers of thk south. Herschel V. Johnson, 15. F. Derry, and B- nj. 11. ilill,aro three men whose mis -ion is to distract aud betray the South, discourage loyalty, and revive treason.— They have liaa tolerable success. Opposi- . lion to registration and a Convention has increased of late in South Carolina, and , especially in Georgia, and reconstruction is delayed. Nor is the evil iniluence of these agitators confined to their own States; it is felt tiiroughout the South, wherever there is a rebel who regrets re : hellion, or a slaveholder who mourns for j slavery. Air. Hill, in his recent speech at I Atlanta, has v ery plainly stated the policy ! i of his class, which is simply to perpetuate j the strife of the South and North, to ridicule j as unmanly the spirit of reconciliation, 1 and to prevent the reconstruction by ail \ means in theirpower. He tells the people . of the South that the Military Bills vio- J late the Constition, and that if they carry j them out, they aid in the violation. “It | “you vote for tlio Convention, you are “ perjured.’’ To the Republican party he says: “ On, on, with your work of ruin, “ye hell-born rioters in sacred things!— “ but remember the people will call you to “judgment;" and to tiie Union men of Georgia, “You are but cowards and knaves, “and the time will come when you will “call upon the rocks and mountains to “fail on you, and the darkness to hide “ yon from an outraged people.” And to his Rebel friends he cries, “Do not abau “ don your rights. Defend them, talk for ! •• them, and. if need lie, before God and the j “country, light and die for them.” He informs the negroes that the Republicans are their worst friends, aud intend their extermination. When we read that all this fustian and falsehood was received with unbounded applause*, and that three cheers were given for Mr. Hill as the only man who dared to proclaim the truth, it is easy to see tiie evil that his counsels work. Georgia, if she takes the advice of such men, will have a dark future; her restora tion u> tlio Union will be long delayed, and all her interests must sutler. There is but one way to peace and prosperity— obedience to the laws. The plan Congress has iaid down is the plan approved by the nation, and in no other way can the Rebel States regain the position they voluntarily abandoned, and the rights they forfeited by treasonable war. Gen. Barksdale, of Mississippi, gave wiser counsel when ho said “It must bo remembered that, when ‘* the armies of the Confederate States sur rendered, the Government of the United “ States acquired the power to dictate the “terms of reconstruction, and that there “is no instrumentality, short of Divine “agency, which can take the work of re “ construction from the hands of the pres “ out Congress.’ The Tribune characterizes the noble ut terances of our cherished statesmen fus tian and falsehood, and advises the South ern people to obey the laws. If lor no other reason, then the advocacy by the 7 rib line of the Rump reconstruction pro gramme, our people should look upon it and oast it aside as an unclean thing. As suredly when advice is needed it will not be sought for from that quarter, and when given will not be heeded. The gratuitous counsel to obey tiie laws is mere fustian. The Southern people are the most orderly and law-abiding in the country. Tito con fiscation of property and disfranchisement of the talent and respectability of the Soutli are not in accordance with the Con stitution, which guarantees to all the States a republican form of government and the protection of life and property. The Mili tary Bills are subversive of the rights of 'the States and of tiie people. Our patriots and statesmen should condemn and oppose their acceptance, and our people should reject them. t outing to Ms Senses. The New York Ihadd has come to a I sudden halt in its advocacy of the wild work of the destructive clement in the land. It stands aghast at the sight before it, a description of which wo give in its own language, omitting parts not necessary to the sense ot tiie article, as to the point referred to. We quote; “Our telegrams from Columbia, South ! Carolina, inform us that the State Repub- i lican Convention ' assembled there had chosen a negro Vice-President and a negro Secretary for that body, and that the former was actually presiding over tiie Convention. The colored citizen* of Afri can descent arc advancing rapidly to pow er, and they seem to be fully, conscious of j the position they occupy, as, for example, in the case of this negro presiding officer, who haughtily told a white delegate that re signed, because he could not subscribe to the platform adopted, that ‘he was glad to accejit it (the resignation ), as he did not want a Judas among them.’ “The negroes, under the guidance of a few of their own people, more intelligent than the rest, and the manipulation of white Radicals, have become ambitious, and arc likely to play, an important part in reconstruction, as well as in the polities of the country for the next few years. In three of the Southern States—Louisiana, ; Mississippi, and South Carolina—they are more numerous than the whites ; at least j they will have more votes. It is also not improbable that in nearly all the rebel States they will have a majority in eonse ; quence of the apathy or willful abstention | of the whites in not registering. I “What will be the moral effect in the ■ political world of this startling innovation j upon the order of things ? Wc may be j ; sure that negro equality, proclaiming it. j ■ self through negro voices from both houses ! i ot Congress, will make a profound im- I ! pression upon the mind throughout the | ] North. We apprehend that the result ! will be a general reaction against the Re ; publican party in the Northern States; , j for wc know that thtr; is a stronger wall j I of white prejudice against the negro in \ the Forth than C-cists in the South. The prejudice elected Hudiar.au in 1856, and would have elected Douglas or Breckin ridge in 1860, had the Charleston Con vention consented to unite on cither. N\ e may expect, then, when the blacks assume the political balance of power of ten recon structed Southern States, and scad up their black representative to Congress, that there will be a revolutionary reaction against them, among the whites of the North which will upset the Republican | party. This may be the real object of those leading Southern politicians who are urging their people to tho experiment of allowing the Radicals and the blacks all the rope they may desire in this business of Southern reconstruction. Let us push this thing of negro equality, say these Southern leaders, into Congress, and then the laboring white masses of the North against this Southern negro political bal ance of power will take the alarm, and a Northern reaction of the whites against the blacks will V the inevitable result, and thus the Republican negro party will be do roved by its own weapons. • This wiil. in all probability, be tlie so- j hition of tlie experiment of the political organization of the blacks against the whites of the South—a reaction of the whites against the blacks and the Repub can party in the South. The Times, too. expects a delegation of ; colored person-- to present their credentials at the Capitol next winter. It says: “Considering the large majority of regis tered negro voters over whites in many of the Congressional Districts of the South, ! we may expect soon to see a good number of colored candidates for Congress besides the one wlib has announced himself for the District of South Carolina. We may also expect that several of them will be- elected, and that they will present themselves with their credential- before Congress' a- soon as the Southern 7.ate- are organized ac cording to law. There is no doubt oj th>u ndmlsssou if they come it the proper shape. We need not anticipate the reflections of the philosophical upon such an event. Fine Cotton.—A few friends were the recipients yesterday of a “Cue,” from j our neighbor, Mr. Ed.

I ■ know the author wCll. lie has one of : the purest hearts and and best intellects in ; Tennessee. I While writing, let me add lUat I wa- re | joieetl when I heard Gov. Brown proposed i to review my humble “Notes on the Situa | lion.” If my arguments were wrong I | desired to know it. But his lvro lirst arti -1 c!es disappoint trie, lie is on my biogra phy It is a poor subject at best, and he | handles it badly. His facts are untrue an ) his style is scurrilous.

They seem to be fur nishing him romantic stories about me in fun, just to see if he wouldbesilly enough to believe them ! Then, he seems to re member very distinctly things I never said, and misquotes awfully things I tried to write down very plainly ! Boor tel low ! this terrible war has made him so inconsistent, I guess he *au't help it! His friends if lie lias any) would do well to advise hi.u to quit biography. He could balance better on banking. Will tiie Governor pardon me if I ven ture to aid him a little in finding the* points for discussion by a few questions : 1. Are the Military Bills, in his opinion, Constitutional ? ; 2. Are said bills in accordance with the j laws of nations ? If so, according to what | author ? !. Has Congress any existence, much less power, outage of the Constitution :' If so, how far ? 4. Can the conqueror, in any war, add to the terms of the tight after the light is over ? or add to the conditions of surren der after the surrender has been accepted ? Does not every respectable author, an cient or modem, heathen or Christian, denounce the attempt, so to add, as infa ! mous, as treacherous, as anew and just I cause of war ? What author is au excep | tion ? 5, Is there not a great difference between supporting an act of Congress, whose Con stitutionality is doubtful as a question of construction, and which, therefore, must bo executed and obeyed until set aside by the Coarts, and a blit which seeks to do what the Constitution, in plain, unqualified language, says shall not be done, and which the very authors admit is out side of the Constitution? Can anything be justified as outside of the Constitution which the Constitution itself says shall not be done ! G. ft General Pope, or the President, or any other powor, now, in time of peace, shall execute a citizen tinder sentence of a military commission, without the “pre sentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,” “without a trial by a jury,” will it not be murder ? And are not eitizeus as much entitled to j ury trial in a territory as in a State ? 7. Is Georgia, in your opinion, not a State in the Union ? 8. Do you believe that disfranchise! pent, confiscation, andthe abrogation of existing State governments can be forced in viola tion of law, State and Federal, without ultimate violence and you believe the white race can bo forced under the government of the blaok race without a war of races? 9. Do you believe the Union can be re stored, or our troubles settled, or peace secured, or prosperity revived, by violat ing the Constitution ; by subjecting citi zens to military government; by disre garding the terms of surrender; by de stroying Slate governments; by degrad ing the white race; by bringing the promises of tiie United States into dis repute, and making tiie nation infamous in the eyes of alt civilized people? 10. Are these enormities in any degree more tolerable because tlio only real object is to perpetuate the Radical party in pow | or, *nd gratify the • hate of individual | leaders of that party? j Those are tlio great questions 1 have ! sought to discuss in tiie Notes, and which | the e v Governor is required to meet. And | he owes it to -himself, the crisis and the j country, to meet them fairly, distinctly and categorically! They are far more im portant than my poor history, even when eiMrectly told; and I respectfully sug gest more important than the Governor’s own history—not excepting the interest ing chapter on “cotton, cards, and col lards.” I beg the Kx-Governor, as a favor to me, to touch the real questions sufficiently at least to make a reply respectable. Please do! 1 am anxious to give him attention, and it will be unkind if he requires me to got too low to find him. Como up, Gover nor; come up! Improve, refresh, invigo rate ; forget yourself and remember the country. It may be true, as you insist, that all my allusions to treachery and naughty things, apply to you ; but 1 assure you all of them were not, in the writing, so exclusively intended. But the burden is on you ; prove the argument incorrect, the conclusions illogieal, and theauthorities unworthy, or you must submit to be told the denunciations are too tame. And, while Gov. Brown is training Slim self, I ask our people to read the splendid, truthful letter from Tennessee, and say whether they are willing to dishonor them selves to get such a Union as poor deluded Tennessee lias found. Very truly yours, B. H. Hill. Alliens, Aug. 2, 18(57. Clarksville, Teun., July 20, ISU7. My Dear Sir: —l read a few days since your great speech made at Atlanta. I am "truly glad to know that you and others are advising your people not to ac cept the miscalled Reconstruction Bill. Is it not enough that our soldiers have been slain—our country made desolate—our property stolen —our eauselost? Must we, to this melancholy train of dire disasters, now add personal degradation and national disgrace? Never! Few of ns brought out of the war anything but our self-respect. Let us preserve that until we go to the grave, where our cause and our heroic dead are buried. But, considered as a mere question of policy, to what an entertainment does this Reconstruction Bill invite your people! Are the people of Georgia anxious to ex change the Military Government of Gene ral Pope fora Brownlow government? If so, I would warn them to pause and reflect. Tennessee is said to be a State in the American Union. Let Georgia behold the condition, pitiable and melancholy, of this once proud commonwealth, and shun a similar fate. Your condition under Gen. Pope, is Paradise to ours under Brownlow. Remain a Territory forever—petition Con gress to continue you as a Territory under j a military ruler rather than curse you with | a Brownlow government and co.ll you a j State in the Union. And vour people are mad if they suppose the Reconstruction Bill means anything but a Brownlow gov ernment for tlie Southern States after they are reconstructed. The government in Tennessee is the only living representative (and it is a true and faithful one) ofthe Congressional idea of a reconstructed State. White Radicals and negroes are to be the voters. Look at the action of Con gress in relcrenee to the Kentucky mem- ; bers. There it was conceded that every j member elect could take the test oath, but they repudiated this test, went behind the j test oath and said their constituents were not loyal. What is this but saying that no people who are not Radical shall have a right to representation ? What is this but the Brownlow idea, lull fledged, that none but Radicals should vote ? or, if they do. Congress will not allow their represen ; tatives to take their seats. It is a great 1 mistake to suppose there is but ono Bro*\ n low. Charity to our kind would incline us to belii e that there is but one; but this is a mistake. There are meaner men —more . abandoned scoundrels —in the Radical party in this State than Brownlow. This may seem incredible, but it is. nevertho- j loss, true; and you will find Brownlow s in your State to oppress and persecute your; people—men lost to all honor, all shame, j all sense of justice. I wish every man in \ Georgia could witness (God forbid that ; they should over experience) tlie reign if! terror and ciesjioiism under which the peo- 1 r.Io of this State now groan. They would i pra y God that they might remain a Terri tory until Gabriel's trumpet should sound, | rather thau ever emerge into such a Stair ’ ' There are about 3,00 u white men in th - j ounty; out of this number about three or i •lour hundred can vote, whilst the negro vote will reach about 2,000. A company of j negro militia is now stationed in our town, to be here on election day to incite riot t and humiliate the white people. At our next county election we expeei all our ! : county offices to be filled with a few Van- : kee thieves that have settled amongst us, i ; and the balan -o with negroes. Brown low’s election (it is an abuse of the Eng ! lish language to call such a farce an elec j lion iis a foregone conclusion. Etheridge ; ! lias made a bold and gallant fight for the j freedom of the white man, but he will lie defeated. Brownlow, under the infamous franchise law .which has been pronounced Constitutional by the Brownlow Judges composing our Supreme Court), has the | power to set aside the registration in any I county he sees lit. So you see the only dif ference between you and us is. that Gen. Rope appoints your civil rulers and Brown j low appoints ours. The people of this State would haii with a shout a proposi tion to exchange places with ye a. But I am writing more than 1 intended. I I merely wished “to thank you for your I bold and eloquent speech, and to assure you that, in my humble judgment, your ad vice to the people of Georgia is sound and wholesome.

To abuse md denounce al* whoditTet i from him in o'caioft- as dishonest traitors. ; and those whom he most dislikes, because ! they may have been in. the wav u. tiie gratification of his ambition, as the most dishonest and the greatest traitors. 2. To oppose universal suffrage, as well of whit, as of black men -3 To give vent to hts indignation at his 1 own disfranchisement. . . IL evidently has a very poor opinion not only of the black race, bat also o. that part of the white race, who have been too ignorant or stupid to appreciate his merits, * and have not. therefore, been his followers. • He says, “I frankly admit my opinions heretofore have not been acecpleu by a ; majority of the people. “My political life has been a struggle against prevailing j opinions and policies. _ The same trill again be true. His opinions win not be < accepted, because they are impracticable . and productive of still greater misfortunes j aud miseries to our afflicted people. And 1 he is again making an imprudent and mis- ; chicvous assault upon opinions and theo- j ries that must prevail. In his Number she uses the following*: language : j admit I have often over-rated the in telligence. and virtue and endurance of our people. Everything they have done _ from the suicidal repeal of the Missouri com promise, to the criminal and factious de moralization which compelled our surren der. has been contrary to nty wishes, and against my protest. ” flow unfortunate for Mr. Ilill that his lot has been cast among such a wicked and perverse generation, possessing so little intelligence, and so little viitue. During the whqie period from tbe repeal of the Missouri Compromise to the surrender, they have never done right in a smgie in stance ! “ Everything they have done” from tiie one event to the other has been “contrary to his wishes and against his protest!” How unfortunate for the peo- ; pie, as well as for Mr. Hill, when they j have a political prophet, and an oracle of wisdom among them, that they should never take his advice, and never do right in a single instance ! Is it not enough, to make Mr. Hill lose his temper, and de nounce them as perjured traitors, when he finds they are determined to dir regard his advice and go wrong again ? What better could he say of a people who, having had the benefit of his teachings for years, dis regard his wisdom and never go right? Truly it is a severe trial of his patience. Again, it is very provoking to a pure patriot like Mr. Hill to see by what agen cies the people have been misled and ruined. These are as he says : Ist “Demagogucism or thirst for office. 2nd “Fanaticism or the bigotry of ex treme opinions.” Now all the world must know the great contempt Dir. Hill has for the demagogue, or any act of demagogucism and his entire freedom from anything like thirst for office. His constant political consistency, the elevation and beauty of his style in de bate, the chasteness and elegance of his language, his aversion to the style of those who garble Milton aud other poets, and present disjointed figures of hideous mon sters and horrid nonsense, which are ludi dicious and inappropriate ; and above all, his dislike of sophistry, and his effort never to deceive or mislead the people, must certainly acquit him of all demagogucism and of all sympathy with demagogue* : while his past modest, retiring disposition, and the assiduity with which he has avoid ed public trusts or positions, must con vince all that he has no “ thirst for office!” It cannot be necessary to say anything to acquit him ot the charge of fanaticism or oigotry of extreme opinions. A fanatic is defined to be a person affected by ex cessive enthusiasm, particularly on reli gious subjects. I believe no one ever ac cused Mr. Hill of this. After having stated the agencies by which the people are misled, he says : “Ignorance, credulity and want of virtue among the people have been the food for both agencies. ” Again he says : “There fore the people of America have been made to do with energy aud great sacrifice those very things which of all others they most hate.” Os course tiie demagogues and fanatics, who are so much abhorred by Mr. Hill, mislead them or they never would have done it. . After having reviewed all this depravity and corruption of the white rcute, and the bad agencies by which they have been mis led, Mr. Hill exclaims, with great warmth, “ Universal, indiscriminate, ignorant, vicious white suffrage; has buried a million of victims, slain by each other’s hands, destroyed tho peace and prosperity of the country, and saddled an innocent and un born posterity with burdens too grievous to be borne. Will it be wise to extend the sacred but desecrated trust of suffrage to more ignorance, more vice, and at the same time withdraw those trusts from in telligence and worth ?” Remember it, ye uneducated white men of Georgia, when you go to vote, Mr. Hill, the self-extolled patriot and political prophet, not only opposes the extension of the right of suffrage to the freedmen but he is in favor of taking “this sacred but desecrated trust of suffrage” from you and limiting it to men of’ intelligence and worth tike himself. His indignation knows no bounds, when it is proposed by the Govern ment to take from him the right, to vote and hold office, on account of his coarse in frying to _ destroy the Government. But while he is venting liis spleen on account of the act of the Government in disfranchis ing intelligent gentlemen, of worth, who wish office, he denounces “ universal , in discriminate, ignorant, vicious, white suf frage.” And this is the political teacher, who is writing and speaking against recon struction, under the Military Acts, and de nouncing all who vote for the Convention under them as perjured traitors. Whatever may have been our precon ceived opinions or prejudices upon this subject, under the slavery system, wc ure obliged to yield them. The tendency of the age in all free governments is toward universal suffrage, and the sooner we sacri fice our prejudices and, if need be, our con sistency, on this Subject and adopt it, the sooner the agitation will cease. Till then lam satisfied it never will. Work as it may, we shall be obliged to make the ex periment. Let us all hope for the best, and yield to the inevitable logic of events. Letter from New York. New York, August 1, 1867. Deqr Chronicle: Jt is my habit, daily, to cal! in here at the Day Book office and look at your dear old face. In tlie midst of present gloom, under the dark shadows ofthe hist five years, yours arc the features of a 'dear old friend, reminding me of better and happier days and reviving recollec tions, not only of the living but of friends who have gone “where the weary are at rest.” Before tlie destroying angel was per mitted to enlist the abilition army under his banners you could hardly find a paper in Georgia, and, when you did find one, it was of imported stock. Now you have some eighty thousand on your tally list! This is but a straw to show that the hand ol the destroyer has been there-and that his flaming breath has passed over you like the deadly simoon. Tho grandest charity that history has recorded, or will have to record, will be that touching African subgenation, which has been mad ly and basely swept away in tiie name of freedom. “Oh, Liberty, what crimes have been committed in thv name !” I am only writing you a letter, and not an essay. I should be but too happy if I could succeed in throwing out an idea or expressing a thought vvhit-h could be im proved by some more faithful hand. I have felt some surprise that the in famous Holpgr has received so little notice by the Southern press. 1 can very readily imagine that every honorable mind shrinks back in disgust and abhorrence j from this fiendish book of the fiendish ! Hinton Rown Helper. But to be silent j under iiie influence of your abhorrence | atul disgust, under existing circum stances, is, at least, unwise. Nay, to shrink i from a thorough exposure of Helper's j sentiments is, at this time, to shrink from j the performance of an important duty. Helper, when he wrote the “Impending j Crisis, ' became < t representative -na,i and j hi- hellish book, for which a hundred thou- i -and dollars were subscribed at the outset, furnished political texts for the Lincoln campaign, i trust the importance of this fact will not be overlook on. Helper has now written an after-the-war book, which he claims to lie in nowise in consistent with his previous book. J K_r leave to tell you that as Helper became a representative man before the war, he is a representative man now after the war. The war has destroyed your iauor by taking the control ofit out of your own hands —that is to say, the Federal Govern- . inent has done this —and, although your j lands haye not yet been taken from you i and bcsiovedxxfxm the loyal Vain a men, be assured that there are thousands or men and women in each ofthe Northern States vho are hankering after your goodly acres and desire to move to a better clcniatc.

Ely Otto, General Newspaper Agent, Box 189. Mr. Stephens’ Boswells, Editors Chronicle & Sentinel : Among the names which Georgia delights to honor, none stands or deserves to stand higher than that of Alexander H. Ste phens. He possesses at once the admiration due to exalted genius, and the more en viable regard due to political goodness.— Having risen to distinction despite ob stacles which would have proved insur mountable to any save.the most daring resolution ; having rendered himself a power in his native laud, and caused his name to be familiarly spoken of at Paris, St. Petersburg and Constantinople, one would suppose his fame established be yond the possibility of cavil or the need of eulogy. .But if one cherishes this idea, many, it seems, entertains the contrary opinion. Every few months some errant Knight of the Quill, who drives his im plement with more of industry than of taste or veracity, visits “Liberty Hall,” and considers it ids duty to requite the hos pitality there received by telling the pub tic of all that he has seen and heard, and of a great deal that he has neither seen nor heard. One who knows Mr. Stephens well and appreciates him sincerely, cannot 1 fail to have his feelings shocked by the ut terances which are thus recorded as fall ing from his lips. They bear as few marks of his powerful and vigorous intellect as the twaddle which spirit-rappers deliver as the sentiments of Washington, Frank lin and Webster does of the living words of those sublime geniuses. We will not comment on the impolite ness of giving publicity to expressions ut tered in private conversation. No one ex pects a penny-a-liner, who is anxious for a theme upon which to turn a paragraph, to have much regard to politeness. But we “should admire to know” why they con sider it necessary to employ all the super latives their lexicons can supply iu depict ing the village in which Mr. 8. resides in the gloomiest of colors. Assuredly one may believe him a great man without conceiv ing him to live amid a scene of desolation, compared with which the ruins of Ninevah afford a lively spectacle. We would that his eulogists and biographers were more “prosaic”—had imaginations loss lively and less impressible by the poetry of decay. Wo cannot claim that Crawford vllle is a model of a country village. It is the small capital of a very small county. Its pooplo are remarkable neither for wealui nor wisdom. They are certainly “dull” if it be dullness to be civil, quiet and law abiding ; they are “homely” if it be home liness to attend to their own business; they are “prosaic” if it be prosiness to avoid all pretentious airs and not become unduly excited even though so important a per sonage as a correspondent of the Now York Times should honor (?) the place with iiis presence. We believe they' will compare not unfavorably with those of most villages of its size, and, with every wish that Mr. Stephens may long remain a citizen of it, wo do not think that its material pros perity would be affected were be to decide on “a change of base.” The history of Taliaferro county, as sot forth iu the re cords of its several courts, proves it to be one of the most peaceful counties in the State. Wo doubt whether any county in the region whence “Libra” of the Times hails can show a record half so fair. Wo suppose that one object of those v- ho thus write of Mr. B.s’ person while eating has salt must bo to gratify him. If so we must think that they go aoout it in the wrong way. Wo cannot conceive that he could enjoy oven the most eulogistic notice of himself when it is coupled with abuse of the place where he makes iiis home. He cannot forget—we do not believe that lie tries to forget—that the citizens rtf this same “poor old tumble-down Georgia village” first yielded him a generous ap - preciation and encouraged his earliest ef forts at sell-elevation. Throughout his whole career they have always been the true friends of his person though they may have sometimes differed with him in sentiments. They have known him in relations which no other people do, and esteem him as no other people can. And though they be too “dull,homely and prosa ic” to express it iu any very demonstra tive way, we believe that he values this esteem more highly than all the plaudits won from fashionable assemblies or all the encomia of newspaper correspondents. We do not indeed see that a description of Crawfordville is necessary in a notice of Mr. Stephens. Were we impelled to write of him we do not think that the Monk House and the Century plant iu the Hotel yard would force themselves as persistent ly. into our manuscript as did the behead ment of Charles First into the memorial of Mr. Dick. We rather think that we could forbear ’naming the color of the carpet in his breakfast parlor, and, per haps, might omit tue epitaph on Rio’s grave. In a life, stretching over a most eventful period of history, and filled with eloquent thoughts and noble needs, we J thiuK. there might be found matter for an octavo without touching upon trilies which could be of interest only to the lovers of idle gossip. L. Crawfokdville, Ga., Auguat 4,1867. Letter from Scriven —Tlie Crop. SciuvknCounty, Oa., August Ist. Editors Chronicle & Sentinel :—The Northern and European cotton buyers are making grand ’ speculations over the immense, cotton crop that is being made in the poor down-trodden South (from whence the}’ have ever gotten bread) this year before sho has even shook the dust from her garments. But if they will pass over as much of the country as I have since cotton was planted they will soon be undeceived. In the lirst place there is notoue-hulf plant ed that there was before the war; and second ly, that half is not tnoro than half cultiva ted, and the consequence is, of course, that about ono-fourth of a crop will be made. The fact is I have seen no cotton that has been well tended. The freed men have not worked well, and the cotton not being thinned to a stand early enough, has not limbed and hacked as it ought, but has rim to stalk. Owing to this, with the heavy rains and grass, it has no head on it. i have seen cotton as high as jive feet with not more than one dozen formed blooms on it. The corn crops where the people have worked it well is generally good, and if the rains continue three weeks, promises a line harvest. I have heard, but have not seen it, that General Pope has issued an order forbid ding all persons carrying arms. If it is so I wonder if he includes freedmen in the term persons, for I rarely evor see one that lias not left his little grassy cotton and is roaming through the woods and swamps in search of somebody’s hogs or cows with a United States musket on his shoulder and a repeater to his side. Kespectfully yours, Tullins. An Instance of 1 ‘Reconstruction.’’— A private letter, partly printed in the Pall Mall Gazette, says that the writer, who is an old rosidsut, “never know Jamaica in such a state of despondency. None of the better classes—no educated person—would remain if they could manage to get away. The country is deeply in debt, no effort is made to develop her resources, and taxa tion is largely increased.” Kegret is ex pressed that the colonists no longer possess “anything like self-government." The Parish of hit. Anno, that in IS 10 contained thirty Sugar estates, now has thirteen, and of these Several are on the point of aban donment. Os fifty-three coffee properties, there are only four remaining. There is no market lbr horses, mules, and cattle. The principal crop, pimento, promises to perish ungathered. Jamaica has been reconstructed, and the Radicals are trying to reconstruct the Southern States the same way. Gbeat Commotion Among the Gum Ch wkrs.—ln the city of Podunk, Mass., a great excitement exists among the misses, growing out of some recent devel opments made by an ex-employe in a spruce gum manufactory. It seems the man had been discharges!, and to revenge himself he divulged the process of manu facturing the quids which young female America masticate with such velocity and apparent satisfaction. lie - ays the gum is made of certain parts 1 of gum arabic, gum tragacanth, a small . entity of re-sin and fat. The fat used is ■ not lard, that being too expensive, but is a j substance expressed from the dead hogs, I eats, dogs and other animals found on the ; commons of the city. This is not the worst . of it. After the various ingredients are i melted together in a huge kettle, a certain kind of alkali i- put in for the purpose of whitening the gum.

REVIEW OF THE AUGUSTA MARKET, FOR THE WEEK ENDING AUGUST 2d, 1807. [lt should be borne in mind that our quotations represent wholesale prices. Small lots, to Planters and ethers, are filled at a shade higher rqges.] COTTON.—During tho first part of the week the market was active, but for the last two days very little has been done, prices continuing unchanged. The Liverpool market has declined id and transactions have been limited, ow ing, no doubt, to unfavorable advices from Manchester—Upland !0j a nd. While the Liverpool market has declined, New York has improved in tone and price. During the week the sales haw been large for the season—Middling 28) cents. The following shows the week’s busi ness : Saturday. —The market was firm to-day with a good demand and all that was offer ed was sold. No correct quotations could he obtained. We refer to the sales for them, which amounted to 251 halos, as followsl at 20,2 at 23, 15 at 23), 62 at 24, 25 at 24), 86 at 25, and 60 bales on private terms. The receipts were 23 bales. Monday. —The market to-day was quiet and very little offering. There is no change in prices since our last quotations. Tho sales amounted to 56 bales, as fbllows: 11 at 22), 21 at 22. j, 4at 24,14 at 24}, lat 24), 4 at 25 cents and 11 bales on private terms. The receipts were 53 bales. Tuesday. —The market opened quiet but firm. The receipt of advices from New Y'ork quoting an active market and an ad vance of) cent, gave strength to the home market, causing an advance of fully) cent. Light offering stocks operate against large transactions, although a fair business was done —the heaviest for several days. The sales amounted to 200 bales, Middling be ing quoted at 24)@25 cents. The following are the lots sold with tho prices annexed: las 16,25 at 24), 24 at 24), 65 at 25, 17 at 25.}, 56 at 25) cents and 12 bales on private terms. The receipts were 50 bales. Wednesday, There was a fair demand to day and prices ruled a shade firmer than on yesterday, although not qnotably higher. The offerings were light, and, in eonsequonce, the sales of tho day only amounted to 160 bales, on a basis of 24)025 cents for Middling, to wit: —S at 22, 4 at 23, 42at 24, 32 at 24J, 34 at 24), 21 at 24a, sat 24), 7at 25, and 7 bales at 25) cents. The receipts were 100 bales. Thursday. —Although tho Liverpool mar ket closed dull at a decline of )d on Up land yesterday, neither tho New York nor home markets wore affected by the de cline. Tho former market was not, how ever, so active, but up to 2:30 p. m. quota tions were unchanged. Nothing was re ceived from Liverpool during business hours, so that it was not known how the market ruled there. Judging from the amount sold our impression is tho homo market was more active and prices Armor than on yesterday. All offered was readily bought at 25 cents for Middling, fancy cot tons 26026) cents. The sales foot up 200 bales, to wit:—l at2o, 4at 22}, lat 22), 4at 23, 2 at 23), 6 at 24), 118 at 25, 25 at 25), 26 at 26, Bat 26.}, and 5 bales at 26) cents. The receipts were 125 bales.- Friday. There was but very little dune to-day. Onl/20 bali-s changed hands. Prices are, however, unchanged, Middling being quoted at 25 cents; 10 at 24, 3at 25, and 13 bales at 26 cents. The receipts wore 46 bales. ; ii I:il:‘iSlsialiill• r " ;; |i | j |f; j§gf§|j!j i s|l jijj |lj fi§i:-pSM ' ; f.
