THE ToNGuE OF TowN.-Under this head
ing the Charlottesville Chronicle discusses the
value Of local paper as the 'tongue' and
ssvoice'' Of a town. 1t does its work up well,
concluding as follows:
'.The value Of local newspaper is that it
gives to that locality uoice in the general
councils of the country, and that o man can
say to all his neighbors anything he wishes to
say.
The local paper does not undertake to rival
or compete with the London or New York
daily. It cannot do it, But it is to the great
metropolitan press what the captain or the
colonel is to great army. It is the business
of O soldier to sustain his lieutenant or his
major: it is the business Of citizen of any
town or country to sustain his local organ
POPULATION OF AUGUSTA AND YoTERs.--The
census Of 1860 gives the whole population of
Augusta at q, 1874. Whites @, 2l2 negroes,
1852. Taking one-ffth of the number OF
whites as voters, this gives 4,442 white vo-
ters, from which deduct about 100 for disfran-
chised. Averaging the negro vote at the same
it gives l, ITO negro votes-making total of
5,452 voters, or say 5000, which gives the
whites 5000 clear majority; allowing that the
negroes will vote against us in solid body,
which we do not expect. Since this census,
another has been taken by the Freedmen's Blu
| reau, which gives the negro population Of the
County at 400, decrease of $50. These
facts should impress upon the colored people
the utterfolly fgoing against their best friends
the majority of our people-and being led
astray by designing white men. While it is
sacrediy our daty to protect them III all their
rights, it IS none the less theirs to cooperate
with us in our efforts to save the State from
ruin. Proper efforts on the par: of Cur intel
ligent white and colored people, will make
everything work towards one great end-the
wslfasa .ad prosperity OF AL c)asAss.
