Homestead settlement only, according to
the provisions of the original Homestead
Act of May 20, 1862, and amendatory
act of March RI, 1864, but restricts each

1APTAIN BRYANT RETURNED
ENTHUSIASTIC RECEPTION u
GREAT OUTPOURING OF
FREEDMEN!!!

One Of the largest meeting of colored
people ever assembled in this city was
hefd on Wednesday night, at Rev. Mr.
Watts (Baptist) Church, to welcome the
return Of Captain J. E. Bryant to our
city.
The meeting was organized by calling
Rev. John G. Bryan to the chair.
Captain Bryant addressed the meeting
In very pertinent manner, giving to bis
friends advice which, if needed, can tend
only to the advancement of the genera
interests Of the community. He urged
them particularly to bend all their ener.
gies to acquiring an education, and ad !,
vised them for the present to leave the
discussion of politics to the statesmen of
the country.
The following resolutions were unani
mously adopted and the meeting adjourn

RESOLVED, That we welcome again to
our city, with great pleasure, our true
and tried friend Captain J. E. Bryant,
who, against all opposition, and regard
less Of all danger, has remained our
steadfast friend
ReSoi0ed, That we assure him that we
have unbounded co 6dence in his honesty
and the purity of his motives, regard
less of all ISLANDERS, no matter from what
source they may have come.

SOUTHERN INFATUATION.

As individuals are prone to judge of
the actions and motives of others by their
own feelings and impulses, and thus fire.
queptly stumble into difficulties from
which they can not be relieved, so the
Southern press and people ignorantly
suppose that there is an irreparabIe
breach existing between the Republican
and Democratic parties in the North
upon the subject of reconstruc ion; and
that party luminosity has reached such a
height as to give rise to fearful apprehen-
sions of bloodshed
Hence we read in late number of the
ConstatutsonaSst that "a thunder cloud
hangs ominously over the whole North,
and men tremble at the signs and por-
tents visible around them.
But as mere MORALS, Heaven be thank.
ed, we are outside spectators of the
drama, and would be more or less than
human, if we did not cheer that side
which fights the battle for US and for our
deliverance.'
This quotation shows very plainly, too,
that mems wishes give color, tone, and
shape to their opinions, utterances, and
prophecies more truly than any real de-
sire to gain an accurate knowledge of
facts.
The facts in regard to the North are
simply these: There is no difference of
opinion in regard to the principles in
volvcd in the recons truction of the insur-
gent States; all are equally anxious to
The loyal Georgian., 1866-10-13

have that reconstruction accomplished at
the earliest day possible, aud all are
equally, and infexibly, determined hat
there shall be no compromise which shall.
IN any way, acknowledge the insurgents
as aLy thing less than criminals, and
entitled, therefore, only to such rights
under the Government as a magnanimouy
cdnqueror, may chose to give them, or
such as the dictates of justice, and sound
wisdom, seem to demand as necessary to
the permanency Of Republican iustitu<
tons, and the general veal Of tie eounS
try.
The people differ, to some extent, in
regard to the means by which reconstruc
tlon should be consummated; but we re-
peat that, with the exception of very
few Copper ohnsons,-one man, perhaps,
IN ten thousand Of the voting popula-
tlon--there is no difference entertained
In regard to the principles involved and
If there was thunder cloud hanging
omlnously over the whole North, it wss
seen and dreaded only by traitors; ard,
on Tuesday last, it powred its relentless
fury upon their unprotected pates with
such force as to make them tremble, as,
perhaps, they never tlembled BEFORE at
the Signs and portcnts visible around
them

upon the credulity of their readers.

FREEDMAN AND HIS WIFE
SHOT!
SEVEN FREEDMEN REPORTED
KILLEDI!i


At Bell-Air last week, colored man
was shot in the left arm, and his wife in
the right breast, by white man, simply
because they dared to inquire the cause
of a noise the white individual aforesaid
was making in neighboring house tenan-
ted by two or three mulatto girls.
We are glad to know that, although
the wounds are very severe, they arc not
mortal.
From the reports which have come to
our office within the past week, it APP
pears quite evident that the freedmen in
Edgefeld district South Carolina, are
suffering the same hellish persecution
now, that they suffered last winter.
We have reports that murders are
very frequent; and it is said that seven
freedmen were killed in the vicinity of
Edgefeld courthouse the first week in
this month.
We give this only as a rumor; and,
while We most sincerely hope that it is
only rumor, we have no doubt that some
have been murdered but We do not pre-
tend to give the number.
If General Sickles, or General Scott
have any power, or means, with which to
rid Edgefeld of the band of rufians
that is so relentlessly prosecuting the
blacks, and disgracing the State of South
Carolina, we call upon them in the name
of humanity to act without further de-
lay. 1t is vain to rely upon the civil
authorities to act in the matter.
There is no harm now, we presume, in
publishing such little items as these
since it is evident, from the way the
elections are going in the North, that the
Radicals are in need of DO more 'copitalE

more delighted at the writings and

We learn from various parts of the
State that whipping, as a punishment for
crime, is becoming very common We
wish to shield no one from the
rigors of the law and just punishment
when, by bad conduct, he incurs them;
but we do, in the name of humanity, and
for the sake of the good name of Geor-

know that many of them suppress the

to think their publication eliminates the

arrested for stealing the money ). and,
although it was proved by the attaches
of the store, that he had not worn the

not worn it for long time, and although
there was no evidence at all Of his guilt,
beyond the fact that the money was

held in confinement, and convicted Of

Had the cashier been colored man,
he could not, under the circumstances
