Gray & Turley, and Kenny A Gray, for very sub stantial tokens of their regard. These tokens are highly appreciated, and coniine, as they do, from friends who, though they may not know how to keep a hotel, yet understands the Dry Goods and Clothing business enough to know just exactly how to attract the largest kind of custom, and to always please their numerous patrons. Our compliments, gentlemen; and “may your shadows” and your trade never grew lc-es!” Jt root, Clark.—On account of insuf ficient notice, there was but a siim attendance at the City Hall Friday night to hear this eloquent defender of the right,and they can form but an inadequate idea of tho treat they missed. Col. Iludler was called to the Chair, who introduced the Judge to the audience, the audience receiving him with applause. He accounted for the siim at tendance by the short notice given, but, nevertheless, made a speech of more than an hour in length, many passages in which were sublime and elicited the heartiest cheering. He said, among other things, that the re ut elections in the North had thrown a damper over the feelings of the people, hut lie thought, instead of beiDg discouraged, it should stimulate them to greater exertions —that as for himseif, if ho had a revelation from Heaven that Grant would be elected in November, he would not abate his zeal in behalf of the cause to vliich ho had devoted himself. He had resolved on his course, and nothing hould alter his resolution in Ik half of liberty and the Constitutional Union party save life itself. But granting, for tho sake of argument, that Grant should be elected in November, it had boon said we would have no more elections for President. This idea he discarded for himself. Come weal or come woe, come life or oomc death, he should never relax his exertions until the perfect restoration of the country to the state in which the fathers bequeathed it to us. He spoke, in fooling terms, of the negro, the dupes of bad, designing men, and counseled peace, moderation and wisdom jn all our dealings with them, We had the advantage of them. They were igno rant, unlearned, and had been taught that the whites of the South were thoir enemies. We should so live and so act, and speak to them as to convince thorn and the people of the North that such was not the case. It. was misrepresentation that had pro duced such a change in the feelings of tho North against us, and wc must live it down. But wc fear to attempt even a synopsis of this able effort of the Judge. It was well conceived, well timed and well deliv ered, and our chief regret is, there were so few present to hear it. He rose to the height of hi« argument in language truly eloquent, and when be was about conclud ing made an exhortation to his auditors worthy of an older head and a stouter frame, to Jo their duty manfully, to let no causes impede thoir onward march to vic tory, hut to resolve, by the help of God, that they should be free. In fact, his closing appeal made such an impress on t.hoso present, that they stopped his ut terances frequently by tho most boisterous cheering. We hopoto hear the Judge again under hotter auspices. An Attractive Store.—Wc really think that there is not a handsomer or bet ter filled .Dry Goods House in tho city than that of the Mullarky Brothers. That a largo number of people agree with us in this regard, is evidenced in the fact that they require a great many clerks to wait on their customers and a very court eous and aocomodating company they have got. Their store is very large and well light ed, with a rear entrance to Ellis street for tho delivery of heavy goods and pack ages. Thoir assortment of fine goods is very rich and attractive, embracing all tho latest styles of silks, satins, worsted goods, Ac.; while thoir stock of calicoes, domestics, blankots, pantaloon stuffs, etc., is quite largo. The rear store is used as a wholesalo department, where they do a considerable trade. In tho front store the clerks arc kept constantly busy, supplying customers. Messrs. Mullarky have been, for several years in the dry goods business in Augusta, and have made for themselves a name and a fame which attracts so largo a share of public patronage to thoir Store. They have laid in, as we have said, very large stocks of nil kinds of Fail sod Winter goods, and are offering them at prices to suit the times. Our lady roadors should not forget to stop in at this establishment. It is on the South side of Broad street, a i’cw doors above the corner of Jackson, with a big sign over the door—and a crowd of people inside. They can’t well miss it. So go and take a look and you will find something to suit you at very reasonable prices. Board of Trade. —The Board of Trade met at tho office of W. E. Jackson, Esq., at 12 o'clock m. yesterday, Edward Thomas, Ebq., President, in the Chair and W. J. Pollard, Esq., Secretary. The roll was called and the minutes read and approved.

The Com mittee made a favorable rooort upon which negotiations have been effected, by which twenty seven of our members are regularly furnished with the accounts at a satis ! factory rate, the money paid into the ! hands’of tlio President, who will accom plish the object. The Board of Directors feel sanguine i that the Board of Trade is now a success, mid that what is needed is the support of its members. Under this it can accomplish much good.

Quinn has all the late publications. Girardin on Napoleon.— A Paris letter says: “One of the most eccentric articles that Emile de Girardin ever wrote appears in this evening’s Liberte. lie says that the Emperor is the ‘best-intentioned’ man in the world, but never knows what he iu do ing; and that is the reason why. while the Emperor merits all praise, the Empire do nerves all blame. The Emperor, he say's, stupifics himself with tobacco, and while he is smoking he ‘dreams’ that France is great, and that he is necessary to the greatness of France; that he believes what those about hire teli him, and fancies re sults which ho intended achieved when they are not. The coup tie etat of Decem ber 2 was wholly unnecessary ; but the Emperor ri-kod it because he bone fide be lieved that lie could do no groat things. But he was under a delusion; he is utterly incapable of finding the means to achieve the things he dreams of, and too jealous to trust power to a great minister. There is much more to the same effect, but this the sub-dance of the whole article, the disre spectful tone of which is unparalleled.” From the LaGrange Reporter* THE “AMOURS” OF JOSEPH E. BROWN. Letter from Col* Martin to the Editor ol the LaOrauge Reporter. Certificates of Col. Marlin's Standing and his Intentions as to the Pub* Hendon of the “ Amours . ” FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS OF BROWN’S GUILT. It has been our [policy since we have been connected with tho press, never to assail private character unless we are thoroughly convinced that we have proper cause for what wo do. In publishing the lateußfioseof Ex-Governor Brown’s amours with Mrs. Fanny Martin, we felt we were doing a public service to Church and State. In Gov. Brown, we have a man who, besides doing all he can to. dishonor and humble the people of Georgia am! of the South, clothes himself with the cloak of religion to become the assassin of the doinesticpeaccof a fellow-man—thus wear ing the sacred garb of piety to conceal his damnable villainy and treacherous and lecherous intrigues. We have been condemned by some, oven a few of our personal friends, for giving publication to the Brown-Martin letters. While we may respect the opinions of our friends and regret the necessity of ex posing the lascivious conduct of a pretended follower of the precepts of holy writ—a pretender to religion and piety—we cannot be swerved from performing our duty. to Church and State in exposing such an im poster as Josoph E. Brown, now occupy ing high positions in both. God knows we have no desire to assail the private characte rof an innocent man. We would not intentionally injure thereputation of our worst enemy. Aye, we would be glad if Joseph E Brown had the self-respect, if ho were innocent, to come forward and dony tho charges laid against jam over his own signature with prodtof his innocence. No one would take more pleasure in giving it to the public. But, unfortunately for the fallen nan. steeped in the foul damna tion of his guilt, with evidence, outside of anything we iiave published, ns wo arc in formed, sufficient to fix tiie stain of adultery upon him, ho dare not go into an investigation of the matter; but like many guilty culprits in high place, he throws himself upon his dignity, and essays indifference to tho matter-presum ing upon his position to shield him from public odiurn by affecting an air of inno oency. . , _, A few days ago we received by Express a bundle of documents which wo proceed to give in substantiation of tho amours _of Ex Governor Brown with Mrs. Martin. These papers arc sent to us by Colonel Martin himself, and hero they are : Meridian, Mies., Sept. 25, 1868. Mr. Editor : You will lind enclosed an edition of “ Copeland’s Confession,” cer tilioatos from Messrs. Johnston and Ker lee—both Georgians. Mr. Johnston is an editor, and was a painter in Georgia; Mr, Kerleo was, beforo the war, Clerk in tho Superior Court of oue of your counties. You will; also, find enclosed Col. Andrew’s letter to Dr. Kennedy. Col. Andrews.was raised near Columbus, Ga., ancl was a Colonel in the O. S. Army. If the newspapers of your Btato had not pronounced Brown’s letters a hoax and fabrication, I should have held rny peace; but, in justice to myself and friends, 1 do not think tho denial of the authenticity of the letteis should come from the Radical newspapers, but from Joe. E. lirown him self. if he [Brown] thinks himself ag grieved, I am responsible and can be found. I, above all others am tho most injured party; but there are others whoso character for truth, virtue, honor and nobility are as far above Brown’s as the heavetis above the earth. Ido not doubt there are thousands in Georgia who would recognize the letters, in your possession, as in Brown’s own band-writing. Brown’s political position lias no terrors for me. If his position in Church or State had been higher than that of any other man in tho United States, it would have afforded him no security whatever. the most puissant Ex-Governor of Georgia, if he tinds himself aggrieved, appeal to tho la.v—the courts are open to him, I invito him to do it, so that his most damnable acts mav bo made a matter of record. I suppose many of Col. McDaniel's Rogiinetit, and Dr. Riilley of your town, will recollect me—who and what I am. After the Shiloh light, in 1862, that Regi ment came to Lauderdale Spring*, Miss. A large number of them had measles. My first wife was the only lady who went in’ the hospital and nursed them. She contracted measles from them and died. Doing a stranger to you 1 can give you reference if you desire them. You will' discover by reference to the letters in character and the printed alpha bet. that some of the letters have been transposed. Your ob't serv t. Jas. H. Martin. Mr. Johnston, to whom Col. Martin refers, was four years an apprentice and two years a journeyman printer in this ofiiec ; was a faithful soldier in the Con federate army; a pious member of the Baptist Church. In all of the six years he was employed in this office, we found Mr. Johnston a straightforward, honest, high toned gentleman—faithful as a citizen, as a workman and as a Christian. As true as the truest. t4rui as the firmest, he was an ornament to society, an example for all young men. The followinglare the loiters referred to by Col. Martin: Meridian, Miss., Sept. 21, 1808. Col. James IT. Martin : Dear Sir—l gladly eomplv with your request to furnish mv certificate in regar.Mo letters written by ex-Governor Joe E. Brown, of Georgia, to Mrs. Fannie Martin. You, some twelve months ago, show ed me the letters and stated to me that you intended to publish them. On examina tion and comparing that part of the letters not written iu cipher, I recognized J. E. Brown's own haudwrite. You did not stk}-’.k. of the political effect that the publi cation of those letters would or could have, but to expose the villainy of tho man. Y'ou regretted the eliects teat a publication of the leters rnigut have on his family, nut wished the people of Georgia to know the man. I do not believe you would stoop so low as to seek to injure the man by false slan der—there would be no object to accomplish —even if yon were base enough to desire it. I have never known or heard any thing to make me mistrust your honor, and 1 feel safe in stating that you are a man of honor and integrity. lam willing to take oath on the above statement. I am, respectfully, S. K. Johnston. Meridian. Miss., Sept. 21, IS6B, Off. J. 11. Martin . Dear Sir: Some twelve or fifteen months ago certain let ters. written to Mrs. Fannie Martin and since published mine LaG range Reporter, were shown me by yourself. Being famil iar w ith the autograph of Ex-Gov. Joe. E. Brown, I at once recognized in them his own handwriting, except that portion so aciim -ably executed by the use of what voh term the “Copeland, or Mu mi, al phabet." You spoke then of publishing j aajj letters, for the purpose of exposing ; the villainy of tho man, but made no ref l ereuce to their political effects. I Having known you for tiie last four | years, I must say that I do not believe you ! would be guilty of so base :m act .1 - to I fabricate and give publicity to such letters j for ihe mere purpo-® of injuring either a pep-on.d or political enemy. Tu conclusion, 1 will slate that, from my knowledge of the handwriting, and other eirenmat?,rides connected with the affair, X am perfectly satisfied th3t none other than Ex-Gov. J. E. Brown, of Georgia, is the author of the letters referred to. Very respectfully, L H. Keklek. Enterprise, Miss , Sept. 11, lsiE. Dear Doctor.— Your favor of yesterday came to hand this morning. In reference to the letter handed me by Mrs. Fannie Martin sometime during the month of February, 1860, to be mailed by me at some point, or handed to someone going to Georgia, I cannot quote word for word, but will give you the substance. Before doing so, 1 will explain all to you : I was at Demopolis, Ala,, stopping at the same hotel that Col. Martin and his wife were at. We were detained there several days,owing to a smash up on the railroad leading to Meridian. I finally concluded to go to Gainesville, Ala., by boat. Just before leavin - ihe hotel at Dec: rpoiis Mrs. Martin called me o*T to one side and hand ed me a letter, which she said was cf a secret character; appertaining to some secret mission that she was on. She re quested me not to say anything to Col. M. about it. This letter was addressed thus, “P. Master, Macon, Georgia." I put the letter in my pocket and went on boar l the boat, and went to Gainesville that night, of the same day ; from there I went to the Junction on a hand car. Ou the way I was caught in a heavy rain and my clothes were perfectly saturated with water, con sequently the letter, with all other papers on my person, got wet. I got to the’Junc tion in time for the train, going South, on the M. AO.R. R. I got in the cars and went to Merridian ; while there I discov ered the letter was so wet that the address was hardly perceptible, and, besides, it was unsealed. I thought that X would take it out and address it over. On exam intion I found that the letter was not for tho I’. M., at Macon, Ga., but it had anoth er envelope in the one addressed to the P. M., and it was addressed to Gov. J. E. Brown, Macon, Ga , and marked ‘private’ on the seal —it was unsealed also. My' curiosity prompted me to read it, as I was a Rebel and of course would not have made a disclosure of anything that would have injured our cause ; so, I read her letter, which commenced thus : My Dearest Friend : lair, at this point with Col. M., cn route for our country home. She could not h.ar the idea of be ing carried to the wilds of tho country; to live a fife so secluded, where she would not be permitted to see and enjoy ids [Gov. B.’s] presence, and, perhaps, would ! be deprived of a sweet eomsaunieft by letter ; but she would not despair, and would writeio him agreeable to promise —provided she could do -and not ;-e de- l tectet by tho Col. ; however, she would remain but a short time, or a lew weeks, when she would feign some excuse to get offs when she would comply with her promise, and return to Georgia, where they wouid be permitted to rep at the many happy moments that they’ have so often enjoyed together in tbo old room. She swore siic would be true to her promise and meet him at tho time setapait for thoir next meeting. She cautioned him not to despair; that she would certainly not disappoint him, as it would I*o an easy matter for her to deceive the old Colonel, and tuat she would'write him [the Gov ernor] and let him know where sho would meet him. She closed her letter by re questing him to writo to her when he re ceived her next letter, when sho would in struct him in regard to manner and place of address. I believe I have given you full particu lars of Mrs. F. M.’s letter. Yours, truly, J. A. Andrews. If Joseph E. Brown has been guilty of adulterous intrigues with Mrs. Fanny Mar tin—with destroying the domestic tran quility of the family circle of another man —he ought to be held up to public scorn, occupying the position he does. If he is not guilty he ought to refute the charges against him for the sake of his family, himself and the high positions he holds in Church and State. FASHIONS. Masculine Investigations —'Ihe Pannier The Bend and all About Them. As women are now turning their atten tion to divinity, medicine, public speaking, and other things too numerous to men tion, and which were formerly supposed to appertain exclusively to men, I see no reason why the tables should not be also turned, and while the women _ are absent on thoir special out-door missions, the men should not remain at home if they choose to do so and perform . all domestic avocations, even to the minding of the babies. In all things I doubt not they would be found most competent, especially the last. This subject I have duly considered, and feel an irresistible impulse (the spirit of the age working within me, I suppose!, to prove that if a woman is a substitute for a man, a man is no less a substitute for a woman. Now the favorite topics select ed by women who transgress upon the fields of literature, being love stories and the fashions, and I having quite enough of tho former in married life, there is nothing left for mo hut tho fashions, and there I feci fully as competent as a woman at a surgical operation. Tie world will furthermore be benefi ted by the effusion of many new ideas and expressions, for be it understood, as a pre liminary, that if I handle a subject at all, I handle it in my own way, and conse quently to my own entire gratification. From this in logically deduced the satisfac tion of rny readers, and thus it follows that all parties arc pleased. oeeondiy, as the Ego is very prominent in the construction of my brain, I find it more agreeable in this my first attempt to begin with my own impressions of tho prevailing style of dress, and also of that which I fear will be ihe prevailed style, if not arrested in time. And now that i roach this point, I write j with great difficulty, and my head, espe- j daily where my brain resides, secm3 in a j state of absolute confusion, my ideas going j backward and forward, and reminding me j of nothing less than the crowds under i Fulton Bridge, who are squeezing and j jamming and pushing, goodness only knows j where. For a stronger brain than mine j would bo unsettled by the furbelows, and fringes, and frills, and flounces, and fcath- j ers, and frizzes, which I soe on all sides. 1 Tho laws of all proportion, too, seem laid aside, and utterly divided, for down at the feet the skirts hang small, reminding mo in some instances of washerwoman on a rainy day, while above the knee (I dare not par ticularize), tho whole brain force of tho fashionable world seems brought into re quisition, in order that—just there—where —where I had thought, and indeed still think it desirable to be small, just there I say the whole brain force of the fashion able world scorns expanded in order that one may be large. For there it is that the furbelows lie thickest and ail sorts of sticking out things seem piled one on top j of another, one lying across another, one j turning to the right, another looking to ward the left, one jthing standing up | hero, and another thing lying down there, i ono thing being above, and another thing ! being below, one tiling being straight, another thing being bias, one thing looking ! to the north, and another thing looking to I the south, one thing going west, and ano ; thcr thing going east, one thing going up, ! and another going down. And on the j top of one frowsy thing I see another ■ frowsy thing, and on the top of ore frizzly I thing is another frizzly thing, and mixed l in all about. I soe ten-sided things and three-sided things, and eight-sided things, and indeed any number of sided things, which are put in anywhere to fill up. And in addition arc benches of things, and . things that look like all sorts of things, and things that hang out, and things that go in. and a great y.riery of other things, which, however,! will enumerate aiam/hcr time, as I do not yet know their technical | names. But the worst of all lhavc hot mention ed as yet, for if my difficulty of writing is 1 great when I speak oi ail these things which I have just spoken of, I feel in ad dition a laboring of breath which seriously oppresses my chest and impedes my respi ration, when I approach and endeavor to speak of the last thing of all, and there fore such is my difficulty in writing that I scarce can write at all. 1 feel, however, that a fashion letter is my appropriate field, and the Divine a flatus which prompted me to put my audacious foot into that field has, by no menus, led me astray. For I know all altout the fixtures, the technical name of which is pannier. THE PANNIER. Now the pannier is bad —very bad—so it has been pronounced by every one—bad for the lookers on, bad for the wearers, bad for the spines of the feminines, and worse for the indignant eyes of masculines. And if the pannier is bad as has just been proven, the consequences of wearing them areev-a worse, tor they are the most powerful agents in transforming a hand some woman into an ugly one that I ever saw. If I love to look upon a pretty face, I admire equally well a well modeled form, and more than all, a graceful carriage. Indeed, I have a partiality whiqp is strong arid decided, for looking at ail the good looking women I see, but this, of course, I deny when questioned by my wife. Nor am I to be blamed when I say that much as I hate and abhor the pannier, I detest that abominable thing which is con sequent upon the wearing thereof, viz. : the Grecian bend. For do not- all men the same ? Do not all men, and it is not right that all men should detest and abhor that which transforms a woman of elegant pro portion into a dumpy, humby, crook-back ed. leaning over, and ready to fall over, locking thing ? And a thing no _ man would look at a second time, unless it be to turn his eyes away. Indeed, the first one or two I saw I did turn my eyes right away, indeed I did—moved thereunto by the instincts of a gentleman, and indeed I have ever since done the same, thongh not perhaps for the same motive, for I am more accustomed now, and having consult ed an eminent physican, he assures me they suffer not much more pain than women of fashion generally do. But now I wish to say what 1 know about the pannier in order, firstly, to dis play my knowledge ; secondly to prove (hat married men are specially qualified to write fashion letters , and lastly, that I 1 may have the pleasure of talking about my wile —and mysoif; and also because 1 am in a state of some apprehensions in re gard io her, and wish the sympathy of the public. • I will state, as a preliminary, that my wife is, or has -been riafii lately, a good enough sort of a woman, in proof of which I will remark, that every morning, without fail, she retires to our right-hand closet for devotional purposes, never emerging under ten minutes, unless, indeed, the baby should cry. Not many mornings ago the ten minutes had elapsed, but no Maria came forth. I thought of he* especially that morning, for I steed in need of a but ton; but being a good husband, I waited patiently till she should come out. Five minutes more aDd no Maria. “The dear woman,” I thought, ‘The is praying for me as wall as herself. I need her prayers; so let her go on, and I will wait.” I picked up the newspaper. Five minutes more and no Maria. Ju?t then the clock struck, the baby woke and began to cry ! Two minutes more —three minutes, four minutes—the baby crying, and no Maria. In a minute more I thought of a great many caer of heart disease, and all manner of thiu.s. Surely something dreadful_ he I happened. I should have tainted if 1 had «al, still, so I rushed to the closet, and found Maria, not at her prayers,, but— v.li. b that time 'twas all over, 'twas fixed ohe was red in the face. lobe sure,jjs she rushed p*st tnc to the baby. Bull -aw her as she rushed, and then. I did faint—necrly. I could say nothmi—rhe Lad g 3no mad, and had put on one or'th i ph.ow.-. I looked at the bed but the two pillars were there. I looked at her, and she was quieting the baby in a highly .rational manner. Ik ek ed all around, but sawnothing uncommon, for she was sitting down with For bank to me. But Iha 1 seen her very ' in-nly as she went past me, and 4 said, “3Lu,’.a, what is the matter t" “Nothing, my darling, nothing.” “Nothing, my dear ?” I said. “Have you just said your prayers, and toll me — me, nothing.”’ She was conscienOT-stricken, but, like a true woman, did not’ yield. She replied, with a force cf argument which was s’rik ing, “ 'Tis not anything —’tis only a pan ith r. I must be fashionable, you know.” I said riot’ in" • my grief was too deep fer words. T simply said, “Marla, I am waiting for a button.” I wou'd have waited till she was asleep that night, and I could have seen all about that pannier, c.r I could have waked up be times next morning; but cofffd not wait. My business was pressing, but 1 ]e my -business wait. I walked down Broadway, looking out for brie of those windows in which all sorts of feminine fixtures are displayed, and assuming an Expression which I intended to be’both paternal and maternal—in short, endeavoring to look as much like a “family man”-as possible—l went in and ask M to see a. pannier. A dozen were brought mo—rorac of wool, some of < cotton, some of whalebone, find some of ether things. Somb h 1 "Rfcitehos running up ; and some had stitches running down; some had stitches running across, and some had stitches going the other way. Ou the whole I liked the wholesome ones the best, because they were tho coolest and less likely to bring on tha spinal complaint, thereby inducing the Green Apple—l mean the Grecian Bend—nothing like jiv ing a thing good name, though I think any respectable Greek would have run a mile at the sight of any such a thing. Finally, such was my state of sadness that 1 could eat no lunch, although thereby I would have somewhat economized, had I not felt in such need of spiritual consola tion, that I spent double the amount in another way. I had, indeed, cause to be sad, for tho thing.hacbcome home to rao, hut on mature recollection I resolved not to scold, because, in tho first place, it would do no good. A compromise, how over, has been effected between us to the effect that I will lot the pansier alone, provided that the Bend, which 1 am posi tive was known to the Greeks, be not instituted—for that, neither I nor any other man of spirit will tolerate. — Ncu> York Democrat. ~**kj?*s ■ [From the Charleston Mercury-.] Who Brought Negroes to tliarleaton and Sold them as Slaves. Whilst Radical emissaries are travers- j ing the South, and striving to excite the blacks .against the white population, on I account of the past institution of slavery, j it may not be useless to show the part the j Northern people took in putting it upon ; this continent. 'We publish below a table carefully pre- j pared from' the records, of the custom j house in Charleston, in 1820, showing the j number of African slaves imported from J Africa into Charleston from tho Ist of | January, 1601, to the 81st December, j 1807, and by whom . British ........19,649 I French. 1,079 j AMERICAN, TO-WIT: Boston, Massachusetts 200 Bristol* Rhode Island 3,011 Newport, Rhode Island 3,488 Providence, Rhode Island 556 Hartford, Connecticut..., 290 Philadelphia, l’enn. 200 Baltimore, Md 750 Norfolk,Virginia...,..’. 287 Charleston, 8. C., belonging to foreigners......... 5,717 By South Carolinian?;.,., ......2,006 , 7.723 Savannah 300 New Orleans.. 100 18,048 j Total American 18,048 38,776 Os the thirty-nine thousand Africans imported during these years into Charles 1 ton, the people of South Carolina import ed only two thousand and six; Great Britain imported and sold to us nine thou sand six hundred, and Rhode Island seven thousand nine hundred, of the thirty nine thousand slaves. Rhode Island, in order that she might see that the auction block realized the value of her Importations, had in Charleston eighty-eight of her trusty natives as consignees of her cargoes. Now, let it be recollected, that this was long ! after the Constitution was in fail opera i tion in 1780, and just before the entire ! prohibition of tho African slave trade took pkee in 1808, by the Constitution. When the United States Constitution j was made, in 1787, South’ Carolina had 1 already prohibited the importation of | slaves from any quarter into the Sta’c. The zeal for the African, with these i people then, was exactly what it is now— lan affair of interest. Then, they went to i Africa —took the negro from, his country — | brought him here and sold him to us, ; They made money by the operation. I After selling the negroea slavery at i the South for money, (Ley found it their : interest during the late war to cripple the. 1 Southern people by proclaiming the no-. ! grocs free. And, since the cloffc of the i war, the Radicals have found it thoir in terest to use the black man against the ! white man at the South. Their motive in to keep the Radical party in power, ad minister the Government and continue to 1 reap the spoils of office and handle the perquisites of tho wholesale public plun der. If they can succeed in saving the Radi oal party by the Reconstruction laws and negro supremacy at the South, (hqy will have ace nnplishod their priirie object. The ultimate effect up bn the. negroes they do not trouble themselves about. In this cruel enterprise they have al-. ready killed one-fourth of all the negroes in the Southern States —more than all the whites who perished in the war. Aadw«'KUiiey are busy sending emissa- Tk iull over the Suiith, to array tho black ay;intt the .. white population, with the •(scitain knowledge that if their efforts suc ceed they are getting up a war of races, which will inevitably efid.in the utter de struction and extirpation of the poor negro from this continent. They deluded him with tho? idea that they will make him tho equal of- the whitc ( man ; that they will make him rule the white mar,—that they will take away the lands and houses of the white man and • give them to him. In the United States in 1860 there were whims to 4,449,503 colored. Now there are 53,090,- Off) whites to 3,000,000 colored. Except ing in two States of the thirteen southern States, the white population is greater than the black ; and in these two Sures ; the races are becoming rapidly equalized from death. In the thirteen Southern ( Spates there are 8,060,000 of whites to 3,000; 000 of blacks. To attempt to rule ' the white population by the black, in any , of these States, is the most wicked and cruel Dooesnst: —too ertu wi« attempted by any people but those who are attempt ing it. Will the black race have intelli gence enough to see through the designs of these Rrdieal friends of '.heirs, and ,-trive to live in harmony with those? who have with them a common country and a* com mon destiny ? Their voting will show. Rat fa of Taxation of fS6O and 1868. —Director Delmar, of the Bureau of Sta tististics, is preparing a very interesting table showing the rate of taxation in the United States in TS6Q compared with IS6S. The following are some of the state ments contained in the table, given in round numbers. The statistics, when put>- iished, will give the exact figures: In 1860 the aggregate amoum ot Feder | al tax paid by the -people of Lie United, I States was $56,u>i.000: the amount of | State tax was $34,000,000, ana the \ amount of county, special find ether I taxes wa= about $54,000,000, tnaming a i totrti of $134,0t"j,000, or _auont > , 2 ioi each man, woman and child. In 186- the i amount- of Federal tax was 500,000,006; ; the amount of State tax was $75,00Q,<j00. ' and the amount of county, town, special ‘ and other taxes was about $276,000,000, ; making a total of $851,0 0.w0,.0r $23 for ! every man, wonaii and child in the Luitcd ! States.
