The Kentucky Election. —The
Kentucky Stale election takes places next
Monday, August 5. 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

the eccentricities of female attire are being
copied by the men. 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. As to hats,
there is a rice going on just now between

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.

I triots and ■qatcsuion is the only one on

prove, the Southern people should con
demn. The Tribune Ls the evil genius
| which has loosed upon us its devilish
wrath and hell-born persecution. It might,
with the same propriety, ask our people to
| fall down and worship Satan, as to advo
: cate its principles and adopt its policy.
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.

-1 lion, but it is so excellent I take the liber: v
|of asking you to give it to our people. 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. Ills memory, like
himself, istreacherous—pardon me—incon
sistent. This is natural. His informers
treat him badly. 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. Very truly, your friend,
Hox. B. H. Hill.

DY JOSEPH E. BROWN.
Editors Ch. hair k Sentinel .-—The
writer of the Nor of Mr. Hill -cents to
i have in view these objects :
!. 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.

their strong desire for the destruction ot ;

They are yelling already for his blood. Let
us, ff we can, impress him with the neces

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.

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. This alkali is thesame
that is used by dyers with indigo, togivea
de, p and permanent blue to tlauuels.

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.
