Col. minimum's fjtittrr. In another column will bo found a lettor written to the Macon T<’h‘(iro[ih by Col. Hardeman, on the Civil Bight# bill. Wo Invito the attention of the public to that able letter, us its care ful perusal will call to mind the ex treme exgleneles of the day. It is replete with common sense, and squarely moots the demands of the occasion. Wo like to read such things, for they evidence a bold stand in the mutter, which few men are willing to take just now. Bead It, und lind the sentiments of the Times. We are not afraid to en dorse his sentiments in full, and would have advocated the same plan, hut that we found his advance ideas letter stated than we can put them. If the negro will in sist upon civil rights, let him huve the full enjoyment in the way of paying frtxos and supporting the Government. If these people are to be made the equals of the intelli gence, wealth, and owners of the soil, let them at least pay their propor tionate share of the expenses of the Government. More especially do we endorse the sentiments of the writer in giving them'fho equal privilege of support ing, and educating their own race. Wo think a fair interpretation of the the Civil liights bill, will force us to allow them the privilege of paying taxes, and educating themselves. We ate pointedly In favor of the negro taking caro of himself, and if he can't do it, the Government may as sume tlio Husk. We would like to see the faces harmonize on the basis of our superiority, and their inwjitm.tty, otherwise, we have no terms to pro pose. mil lllitlil, In New York. Tho Now York Tribune says the theatre managers, hotel-keepers and proprietors of restaurants are dis turbed by the passage of the Civil ltlghts bill. Tho action of Congress was mount to oppress tho South, but it may bo ruinous to the North, espe cially in those cities which entertain bo many Southern guests. Wo are truly glad to hear of such symptoms.of uneasiness iu the loyal North. The hotels of Now York are dependent, to a great extent, on Southern custom, for they got little patronage front the Fast. Whenever a Philadelphia or Massachusetts man is compelled to visit tho metropolis, he carries his hineh of Bologna saus ages and crackers, and sleeps under t ho bridgo. The few who stop at first class hotels, don't mind sleeping with anegro for they were never raised to know tho difference. The South ern gentlemen Wild visit New York, will not tolerate such equality ; and hence tho Now Y'ork hotels raise the cry against admitting tho negro. Thfiy might as well tuko tho nogro in—for In a fe\V years we will have direct trade with Europe, and there will then be a great shortcoming in the visits of our people to the delect able metropolis of the North. I'l. C. VV. nijlm. This veteran iu the ranks of jour nalism was in tho city yesterday, and honored onr office with ills presence. We were glad to see him, and wish we had ids cheerful disposition and gonial demeanor. He represents the wire grass country in good condition, with plenty of corn to run them du ring tho war. He was with the sec ond Georgia regiment on Tyboe Is land, and witli many members of I lie old Columbus Guards talked over the old times and his errand to board an English whaling vessel. Ho and volunteers from tho regiment board ed the vessel, but the papers were “tegular,”und to his disappointment had to "leave her alone.” Ah, ilv! They say in Washington i that Mrs. Pinch back lias provided herself with un elegant wardrobe, and that she is impatiently awaiting the final result of Pinch's efforts to ob tain a seat In tho Senate. In the event of his success, Madame Piuch baek proposes to test the question of social equality, and as tlio ladies say they will not stand it to have her at their receptions and entertainments, there may boa call for more troops. Where’s Sheridan ?—Boston I'nxt. Slits. Slvua Clarke Gaines is at last taking active measures to execute tlio judgments obtained by her against the city ol Now Orleaus. One of these, Involving the sum of $140,000 has just been levied, and tho Now Orleans Times says that “unless some ar rangement ean bo made, a large sac ritloe of tie Interests of the city and of tho public is inevitable." Late reports from Egypt state that tho usefulness of the Suez Canal has become greatly Impaired through tho quantity of sand which has been blown in, and which, if something is not done before long, will till it up completely. As it is, large vessels cannot pass each other, but have to wait at the ends of tho canal, until the channel is clear. There is a cutting down of news pa lters all around us. The Macon Tele graph and Savannah Nines wore re duced in size last week, and now the Mobile Register comes to us shorn of some of its former proportions. A letter from Richmond, Va., re ports terrible distress among the poorer classes. Some five thousand men of both colors are out of employ ment, and without credit or other re source, while the severe weather has proved an additional affliction. ro nqtiRMS i BUijfm>. 'Kusti'l. The Irish potato is not, As you suppose, indigenous to Ireland. It was discovered In South Amorlea by Hi r Walter Baloigh in the sixteenth century, and like many other plants, lias been greatly improved by culti vation. The peculiar ftdaptedness of the soil und climate of Ireland to tlio growth of the potato has given it the name it bears. The great Irish fam ine of 1848 was caused by the potato rot. Antti/iinrij. Thu expression, “from Can to Beersheba,” is in the Bible, and has been figuratively applied to many things and subjects of a com prehensive nnturo. They were towns in the extreme northern and southern portions of Palestine. IV. T. 11. We do not think any good could possibly spring from tlio abolition of the death Jienalty, and the history of those localities in which it has been abolished shows an in crease of crime. We differ, in tolo, with you in your proposition t hat, as God “breathed into man’s nostrils the breath of life, He alone is author ized to end it.” It strikes us some thing has been said thus wise: “Who so sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.” Stiulent. —Light travels 192,000 miles a second ; electricity 288,000. Of course these are only approximations, as such things noeessuriJy always must bo. The scientific observations made during the late transit of Venus, re duce tlie estimated distance of the sun from tlio earth; making it 88,- 500,000 instead of 95,000,000 of miles, as heretofore supposed. The sun is farther from the earth in July than in January. The difference in temper ature is on account of the angle ut which the sun’s rays strike the earth. ('. IF. G.— The expression, El ultimo xusjriivdel Morn, is Spanish, meaning “the last sigh of tlio Moor.” The origin of it was the legend, that after the expulsion of the Moors from Spain by the armies of Ferdinand and Isa bella, the Moorish king, Boabdil el Chico, ascending a high hill that overlooked the city of Granada, paused and heaved a deep sigh. Thence the expression. Miss Eugenia G. il'. If your friend has become offended because of ad vice asked of, and freely given by you, the only thing you can do is to give no cause of offence yourself, and let her have her own time to find out tho folly and injustice of her con duct. It really is very hazardous to give advice; for Colton, in his “La con,” says nothing with greater truth than that “We ask advice; we mean approbation.” It is much the best,- before giving it, to ascertain the kind of advice that is sought of us, and then give, or refuse to give any at all, according to circumstances. Trenton. The expression, “All is lost save honor,” first occurred in u letter written by Francis the First, of France, to his mother. It was upon the occasion of his disastrous defeat at Pavla, in Italy, by the combined armies of the Spaniards and Italians. His army was utterly routed, and he himself taken prisoner. Like many other good tilings, it has been worn out by frequent ami injudicious use. Churchman. -The lines you refer to, were said to have been written by a man of great genius and imag ination, who was demented on the subject of religion. They are as follows: Could wo, with ink the ocean till, And were tlio heavens a nnrchiiieui made; Were every rood on earth a quill, And every man a scribe by trade; To write the love of (4od above, ’Twould drain tho ocean dry Nor would the scroll contain tho whole. Though stretched from sky to sky! We write it from memory, and can not tell you where it can be found. The idea is truly beautiful and sublime. Wo have received several other communications, but the answers to them involve personalities, into which wo do not propose to enter. In fact, the idea of n Correspondents’ Column is navel, and is an innovation in journalism; and as we see it often used to strike a man under a cloak, we have concluded to abolisli it as a feature in the Times. We will give any information in our power to all who write, enclosing postage stamp for tho reply. Those questions which are not answered, would, if given a place and answered, do injustice to some people. If you have anything to say about a man, go to him and say it to his face; don’t strike nt him in an anonymous and irresponsible manner. The Eufaula A Terns alludes to its Senator, Mr. Goldthwaite, as "an automaton, who won't open his lips in defence or his people in the Senate, and will not resign so as to allow any one else to do so.” A number of workmen are now em ployed at tho .Tardin d’Aeelimation in the construction of a large pigeon house, which will have the form of a tower, as high as the column of the Palace Yendome. Standing in the exact centre of the garden, it is to be made the home of those carrier-pig eons destined to bring to Paris news from all parts of France. A Washington dispatch says: “Re publican Senators differ in opinion as to the probable length of the pres ent session, some maintaining that tho discussion on the resolution re cognizing Kellogg and that admitting Pinchback will prolong the session to six or eight weeks, while others are sure that the session will end within a month. ♦ A process of toughening glass by heating it to redness and then cooling it in oil, lias been discovered by a Frenchman, and is attracting atten tion in manufacturing circles. It is settled that Belcher will be removed from five Macon postoftiee. Glover’s name lias been withdrawn and Jack Brown again comes to the surface. [For the Timkk, run talk. That's tlte kind of talk that, tells. It's the only kind of talk that’s worth anything, ft roaches people’s hoods and goes to their hearts. It burns and smarts, sometimes, but It probes. Without wavering or faltering, it strikes home with tie" truth, ft Is the truth itself; und is better after ail than nil the line rhetoric of the schools or varnished eloquence of the school men. It is more powerful than all the linked sweetness and swelling volume and mellow cadence of high sounding words. A boiling ulcer may | bo healed over with soothing plas ters ; lint, a sharp lancet is often need ed to effect a permanent cure. It Is true, too, that an unskilled hand may so wield that lancet as to irritate sound flesh ami make a worse sore than the one it attempts to cure. There is such a difference betweon the touch of the scalpel in the hands of the practiced surgeon and the un scientific thrust of the same instru ment in the grasp of a rough bungler! Yet every surgical quack thinks he is an adept in his art. His patients, however, have the painful knowledge that he is not. Now everybody fancies that he or she can talk plainly. This is a gross mistake that almost everybody makes. Most people pronounce abusively when they say they are speuidng plainly. We never did believe in abuse. It never yet worked a euro to any evil, llcforma tions that are begun in abuse, pro- voke only vituperation, and accom plish no good. We all have our faults, but we don’t like to have them paraded before everybody’s eyes. We are just grown-up children in this re spect, us in many others; kindness will lead us away from those faults, while harshness will settle us down, stubborn in onr sins. What is true of us as individuals, is also true of us as a community. That we huve faults as a community is patent to the most casual observer; but the man who reviles us is not the man to pro voke our love and esteem, and hence not the man to help us. We can bear to bo told of our wrongs, we do not object to seeing them plainly, but we wish to be approached kindly, and to be shown a better way. The men who only point to our shortcomings and abuse us for them provoke our righteous disgust. We have no eon- fideuce in that reformer or that re formation that uses the prayer of the Pharisee. That prayer moans just this in the mouths of many; “O Lord, Ido thank Thee, that lam not like other men! I’m not an extortioner, but my neighbor, Jones, is ; I’m not a stingy, close-fisted man; (Ido love my money, right well, at my heart, but Thou alone seest that, () Lord ; the world knows I givo liberally), but the soul of my neighbor Smith would rattle in a tobacco seed. 1 never meet a beggar on the streets without giving him something (Thou alone, O Lord, knowosst how many I’ve driven away from my door), but my neighbor Brown passes bv the orphan and the willow without ever heeding their plaintive prayers for alms. ] lead an openly moral and religious life; Igo to church every Sunday ami take a front seat; I fast on all the stated occasions; I give as much to Thy cause us tho world ex pects me to give. Before men I’m all right (Thou ulouo, O Lord, know cat all those little immoralities in dulged on the sly), but I know a dozen men who pretend to live right and who arc yet often outspoken in open sin. O Lord, I pray Thee help me to preserve my good name among men.” It is very hard to bo “plain without being unparliamentary'.” To bo un parliamentary is to be personal. , In saying that prayer is not ours, but the prayer of somebody else, is just to lodge it wherever it lodges. If we hail fewer Pharisees we would have more Publicans. If wo had more Publicans we would have fewer Pharisees. liiianGi.v m:>v.

SOME EifIpXABLB WOODS FOnjpL'IVIL HAOUXEItS. liditorx iti’leynuih and Otexrruger: — Now that tlio c ivil rights bill has l>e eoine a law, and colored people, un der its provisions are given, as they suppose, extraordinary privileges and benefits-for which some of them have boon clamorous— tho thought 1 forces itself upon me, should not tile whole race begin to look to their rights arid powers in the premises? When a people, with no claims to social equality, either from birth, education or position, demand con gressional aid to thrust themselves upon those opposed to this attempt of the general government to lower their social status, and boldly pro claim their intention to avail them selves of these newly conferred rights, J um convinced in riiy own mind that those against whom this outrage has been periictrated, should fall back upon those rights and privileges of which they cannot be deprived by an unjust and oppressive government. Now what is the true situation of the colored people? They are poor, gen erally thriftless ana uneducated. Dependent upon the white race for nearly fill the advantages they pos sess without. our assistance, they would have but few churches und their schools would be abandoned for want of means to support them. Looking to their advancement, we have done, and are doing, much to improve mid elevate them. Yet, re gardless of our efforts in their behalf, they are seeking, by the aid of preju-; diced partisans and u hostile govern-. ment, to disrupt our social organiza tion, degrade our society and destroy j our pl ace. This is tho gratitude they I exhibit, the return they bring for all 1 nur efforts to elevate their race. Have we no remedy? Are we power- i less in this emergency? I think not. I would not he retaliatory, but i would no longer nurse the ser]>ent that wounded tlio bosom that warmed it. Let their social po litical and intellectual status be just: what they make it, and let us hands off until they learn to appreciate our efforts in their behalf and show some ; disposition to realize the I'uct of their dependence and our ability ami wil lingness to assist, them. Don’t suffer them or their partisan friends to say what "civil right” they will enact in to law, mid what they will omit. Don’t consent. That what elevates and benefits them shall bo stricken out, and what degrades us shall be placed upon the statute book. Let us allow all or none, and determine at once and forever that upon their conduct toward us will depend our bearing toward them. They must not expect that we will build them up to pull us down. And when they begin to assert their new made rights, let us begin to exercise those yet be longing to us. Give them equal and exact justice before the law—protect their persons and their property but let them in future pay their part of the burden of the government. They will not now expect us to be taxed for their advancement and elevation, when they are intent upon subvert ing our social organization. I would, therefore, on their first, attempt to push their claims upon us, stop all appropriations for their schools other than those made from the means they furnish. Let their taxes other than their just proportion in carrying on the government be set aside for their benefit and improve ment, and that of the whites for the wants and necessities of tho whites. The aggregate value of their proper ty in the State was ¥0,157,798, and the tax assessed upon it $30,788 99. The value of the whole property of the State I’ist year - was $27:1,093,292. Now deduct theirs, $6,157,798, and you have the value of the prop erty of the whites, $266,935,- 494. The tax assessed upon it $814,027 82; less tax [laid by colored people. $30,788 99—or, $783,238 s:T, amount paid by whites. Now, tlio funds appropriated for school purpo ses last year by the State was s26s,nut) —out of which 84,673 white and 37,207 colored children wore schooled, at an average monthly cost paid by the State of $1 09 per scholar. Thus it, will be seen, thut if all the taxes paid by the colored people in Georgia was appropriated exclu sively to the support, of their schools, it would bo exhausted ill less than one month. But the school fund is derived from half yearly rental of tho Western und Atlantic llailroad, the poll tax, and some specific taxes. From rental SISO,(MX); polls, white 115,330, colored 84,220 -from which we cannot reasonably expect over siini,- 000; about $35,000 of which will be paid by colored people, or about a sum sufficient to run their schools one month in the year. In this coun ty the showing for them is worse. The colored people paid last year State tax S7OB 40; the whites $34,- 734 10. Add to this the county tax. same amount, and you have tax [raid by colored people $1,410 80; by the whites, $69,468 36. From this tax ! 1,274 colored and 1,397 white children were schooled, nt a cost to the eoun j try of about s2o,not) per year. As you 1 know, Messrs. Lditors, I have been a friend to the common school system, and I want, to see it perfected.'so ev ery child in Georgia can be educated; but if these people who exact so much and puv so little, persist in I their outrageous demands, 1 shall nt our next session of the Legislature, favor a bill that will give them for 1 school purposes just what they pay j for and no more. To this, theircourse j will drive us, and if they cannot see ! it in due season, theirs will be the | fault. 1 have but one desire for the j colored people, and that is to better their condition and improve their race; for this I iiave voted, written, and spoken, (and for this r am yet willing to vote, write, and speuki if they will appreciate the effort.) but, when they array themselves together (encouraged by the unconstitutional laws of an unscrupulous Congress) to lower the social status of my race,, and stir up discord and strife.'! can not consent longer (much ns I wish to elevate their race) to tax my iieo ple for their advancement. Let them In future, if they want “civil rights” and educational privileges, pay for, them—for one I will "none of it." Thus.
