4 Upon what slight things, hangs the des.
stinies of nations! Some score of years ago,
"a young Yankee schoolmaster came South

sof Middle Georgia, The consequence Of
{ that years visit was mulatto child-its
afather Senator Seward, now Secretary OF
Estate! The way this. became known, the
aSecretary himself told it to a,Doctor R.,
3of Ga, last summer, stating that be regret.

aprsvented his hearing from his daug ghter
aaud sending her money, which he bad

Ito speak in such way as to convey, the
idea that be turned abolitionistand brought
! on the war in order to liberate his beloved
alaughter from the thraldom of slavery!-
We'll did Psulding say that he was ave.

The Bible, declares that q bastard shall
not inherit or enter into the congregation
4of the people; and yet the North is bank,
srupting itself to bring into its midst a bastard
3,nalatto-a noble object for national war
Yet his dupes might rend him to pieces if
ithey knew his motives. Hence. it is the
possession of Middle Georgia lie. the nc
3pzus ultra of bis ambition; hence negroes
3,nust become free on military occupation,
that his daughter might fee to fathers
3arms-aud that father too stiugy to pur'
3ohase her freedom ,himself-it must be
] done with the lives and the purse of q
mighty nation. Hence, Charleston is sec
soudary to Savannah in his plans---hence
3the railroad car stealing, bridge burning
exploit, hence Georgia is threatened With
30, 900 on one side and 100000 on the
aother-hence the Federal army moves to'
wards Huntsville instead If Memphis.
Ought not this thing to be sifted out |?
And if it is true, it can be made the cause
lof a mighty downfall of our arch euemy-
10y sending the negro girl and the facts to
Greeley or Fernando Wood, or some in |

This coming to them on the heels of defeat

The Atlanta MteVigencsr says the half
has been told in the above. 1t was in the
county of Putnam that Seward first settled
liz Georgia, where the beggar for employ
ment, in respectable neighborhood, taught
school. His immoralties after awhile bel
came known to his patrons, who, disguised
with his conduct, gave him notice to quit.
He did SO, and meanly assistance to return
Ito Yankee land, from whence, it was as
Icertaiued, he had come South in disgrace.
Upon his return, accident gave him start
i'm his profession, which native ability and
|auscrupulous intrigue combined, made al
successful one. Soon he became politi.)
'can, aud be is now, what be is, a bitter
natter of the South and the instruction of
slavery, doubtless influenced by his young|
and ardent passion for the females of a race
ito whom he was devotedwhen resident of
|the county named. The arch hypocrite|
should be exposed iu all christeudom.
