tion is as inexorable as the law of motion
which takes a pa-ticlo detached from a
arrival at thst port, on Saturday last, of revolving mam off in a tangent. It can
blighted by the drouth.
The Darien (Ga.) Gazette reports the
the ship William Wilooi, with cases of
yellow fever on board. The Captain had
died of it, and the mate was then dying. I
The vessel waa from Havana, four days
out, on her way to New Bruoawick. She
waa quarantined fifteen miles below Da- j

two had died since their arrival.
Fred Doronss, tbe negro leader of
tbe North, publish©# in hit paper, the
Motional Era, his views of the policy of j
his race in the South. It is that they
should concentrate in three or fonr of the
States in which they are now strongest in
numbers, and get permanent control of
them, fle suggests 8 >uth Carolina. Flor

in which they can successfully carry out a |
movement of that kind.
Thx editor of tbe Freeman t Journal 1
ins-sts that be has good authority for bia j
statement that the German and Spanish
author.ties are negotiating for the trana- i
fer of tbe island of Porto Kicofrom Spaio '
to Germany. But he refuses to give the:
sources of bis information until Don Car-
lot reigns in Madrid as King of Spain,
which he thinks will be within seven or •
e ght months. We regard this announce,
meat as an indefinite postponement of
hit revelation.
The Galveston Xev* of the 22d instant
publishes special dispatches from various
parts of Texas, all dated the 21st, report
ing continued drouth and a great reduc
tion of cotton estimates. Some say that
the crop will be redtic d in their localities
from one-tbird to two-thirds of what waa
expected. Tbe places making such re
ports are New Braunfels, Me Dade. L >ng-
view, Honey Grove, Bonham, Palestine,

The Radical Convention to nominate a
candidate for the Third Congresaional
District met in Americas on Hatarday
last. The Postmasters at Americas and
Hawkioaville, with two other white men
and a number of negro delegates, consti
tuted tbe Convention. Tbe Hawkinsville
Postmaster was Chairman, and the Ameri
cas Postmaster Secretary of the Conven
tion. The negroes wanted to nominate
Elbert Head, a man of their own color,
but the fonr whites h*d things their own
way and procured the nomination of Col.
Jack Browol This is the same Col. Jack
Brown who was too “straight” a Demo
crat to support Greeley ani Brosn, and
who a week or two a nee announced him
self an “independent*’ candidate for Con
gress on the “ground hog’’ principle.
And he appeared before the Convention
and accepted the nomination, and not
only the i.ocuinstiun, but the controlling
i -sue of the negro Radical party, as ap
pears by his speech of acceptance, which

as “the most compact and the most com

come from u Southern State since the j
close of the civil war” It adds that, j
taken as a whole, it is a “clear and un

half-despairing, half-cynical apathy iu

which so widely prevailed among them

whom “independence" of party is a
