GREELEY TAKE NoTIoB.-Greeley may
be able to form some idea of how Southern
slaves are treated after reading the follow.
ing which is taken from the Wetumpka
(Ala) Enquirer It's Ouly a single instance
of what is common on every Southern plan,
tstiou !.
Last week thirteen slaves belonging to
Gov. Fitzpatrick, accompanied by Mr. Guun,
the overseer, brought their cotton to market,
and sold it for SUM amounting ia the ag>
gregate to 1904 80. Ahab, another one of
the Governors negroes with the others will
soon bring theirs in. This money is their
own, not one dime Of IL going into their
masters pocket !, and he feeds and clothes
them Besides and provides for them in their

HON. PETER i. sTARKE.


This distinguished geStlemar has returned from
Ms mission to Virginia, ard has spent the last
few days in our town and vicinity. The General
discharged the important and delicate trust i'm.
posed upon him by the Executive of our State. to
the entire satisfaction Of the masses of Msss
Sippl. 'Tis true that the bold and manly course
Of our Senator has brought upon him from GER
tain quarters, unjust criticism and tie grossest
Misrepresentation. As we understand General
6tarke, as does every one who is not pre-deter
mined 70 misvnd-Stdnd him, we endorse his senri
ments upon the subject Of the Atlanta Convention.
He contends that the best way to preserve the
Union, is to hold a conference of the Southern
States, in order to have concert of action, and
determine at what point they are willing to resist
aggression. Let the Southern States unite upoH
some common ground Of defense II there are
extremists among us, let them be checked and
held to this common ground, if there are cowardly
laggards who follow "asar of" and are ready to
deny their section and flee from it at the fret
growing of the cock, let them be whipped up to
this common ground, and in this wOy, If an un-
brok enfront can be presented to cur Nortke rn
omen les, they viii cease to trample upon our
rights, and the Union will be preserved. The best
way to harmonize these discordant elements in
the South is to meet in consultation, with com
promising spirit among ourselves, and if the cor.
ference should result in any common plan of action
fet the fifteen Southern States in their sovereign
capacity, pledge themselves to maintain it. Such
united and determined action on the part of the
South, would detertbe sSppers and miners of the
Constitution from their reasonable work With
this view of tho subject, one can readily perceive
how the proposed Convention at Atlanta could
be oonGidered Union movement.
In thelrst communication transmitted through
tie Governor to- the Legislature, Gen. starke
grouped together ina mastery manner; all the
facts and arguments TO prove that it was the duty
Of Virginia to send delegates to tie Convention
and while that State has declined doing SO, w
believe and fear that she will have cause to re-
gret her action; yet We have no fear as to where
the Old Dominion will be found if one or more
Southern States should be forced 10 defend theiI
rights and honor at the point of the bsyonet.

The procession of the Sons Of Malta, on last
Monday night was a teautiful and very imposing
scene Thore were about three hundred persons
half Of whom had torches, in procession, conduct.
ed by three officers on horseback, who were en-.
tirely unknown to us. 1t was suspected by many
(and we have no doubt Of its truth that General
Garlbaldi, who has long been a member Of the
order, was the Grand Commander on the occasion,
and conducted the procession. 1t was supposed
that Victor Emmanuel, who is also an honored
member of this order, was second in command
while It was said that Gen. VIM Walker brought
up the rear The procession was Termed on
Mound street at half past II o'clock p. m, and
moved through nearly all the principal streets Of
the town, headed by splendid band of music
and although the parade continued until a late
hour, we believe nearly all the citizens of the town
witnessed it till il was disbanded. The procession
was quiet and orderly. The boys, who were as
thick as autumn leaves on both sides Of the pro.
csssion, became much enthused, and kept up a
constant yelling which we think added nothing
to the interest Of the occason. At little past
o'clock the procession returned to the Lodge
room, Wh're they were dismissed, "unity and
harmony" prevailing.
