TIE RIGHT TO ADVISE. The New

to advise the freedmen. 1t says:
We advise the colored gentlemen
of the South to pay particular atten-
ton, i'll all their meetings and con-
ventions, to preparing for the next
Presidential election. They should
startupon the right principle, and
that is by nominating General Grant
and General Lee for President and
Vice-President. This will have more
effect than any movement they can
undertake. Beechcr and the other
parsons have been giving advice to
the colored gcmmen for the last thirty
years. Wade Hampton, Gen. Lee,
Gen. Longstreet and the other ex-
military leaders have taken to advising
them now. We think thnt we have q
right to give them some advice, too.

AUGUSTA COUNTY FAIR.

We learn that the Directors of the County FAN
at their last meeting selected the place for Their
Fair Grounds, the beautiful meadow just below
the ruins of the Woollen Factory, and enough
of the surrounding hills to constitute complete
amphitheatre, sufficient for all the purposes of q
most extensive and comprehensive exhibition OF
the products of the county.
The land is understood to be for sale, and we
presume there will be no difficulty in making the
purchase on fair terms.
A better selection could not well have been
made, and we hope our people will see to it that
ample funds are provided to pay for the grounds,
and to improve them in a manner worthy of Old
Augusta.

An Englishman, who was in Washington
during the session of the Rump Congress, thus
gives his opinion Of the personnel of the mem.
bers. He says:
''There is nothing statesmanlike whatever
about them. [ am reminded all the while OF
a low style Of pleading in court I see before
me a crowd Of third-rate lawyers, who are play
ing the old tricks of the trade. I never heard
a word that is destined to live or fix itselfin the
hearts of men. [ do not believe there is man
in the present House of Representatives of Ell
second 9da hsanp i in the Hou ee Su mens
French Assembly. Deplorably low as is the
general style of discussion in the American
press, it often rises far above anything uttered
in Congress-
This is the Rump at present, but how much
lower will it be reduced when it is reinforced by
forty or fifty negroes from the South, who, I'M
der the Radical policy, will be the only repre-
sentatiyes of these States

the opinion of Mr.. Sibert, from IS to so per cent
of the oxide of manganese which is mineral ex-
tensively used in the manufacture of chloride of
lime and the manufacture of steel, and for other
purposes. We have no doubt that this valuable
mineral may be found in other neighborhoods.-

Colored C0ngressmen,

The Mobile Advertiser expresses the views
and preferences of many Southern men in the
following:
1t is altogether a mistake to suppose that
we indulge in bad joke when we advise the
negroes in the present condition of things to
prefer their own color as Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress to imported scalawags or
pale faced renegades. We prefer them an hun
dred to one, and we do not see why the negroes
should not do it. We prefer them, because, in
the first place, we can trust Southern black
man when we cannot trust white traitor or a
Yankee Spectator in negro votes. IF recon
struction so-called-is to be carried out on
the plan of the last supplement, the choice is
between the two classes we have named, and it
is no 'Hobson's choice, either Give US the
Southern negro, every time, before either do

A RADICAL EMISSARY.

1t will be remembered that, on the day that
Robinson's Circus exhibited here a man dubbed
Gen. d. b. White addressed the negroes in front
of the Court House. The following will show
what manner of man he is:
Mr.. ID. B. White was Major of the Eighty
first New York volunteers, resigned his commits
sion in the fall of 1864, when his regiment was
serving in the field in front of Richmond. I'M
mediatey after his resignation was accepted, he
applied to General B. +. Butler, commanding
army of the James, for the position of sutler Of
the regiment in which he had resigned his COM
mission
General Butler issued general order thereup-
on, to the effect that Major ID. B. White having
resigned his commission while in front of the en-
envy, was not fit to hold the position of boot-black
IN his department, and that Mr. White would i'm
mediately leave the department"

Negro Candidates for Congress.

There is little doubt that in the events of
Southern reconstruction majority of the Mem
bers of Congress from the South will be ne
groes 1t is too early to speculate as to the
policy of Virginia, but we have heard over and
again, the observation ''Iwould rather be re-
presented by a negro than by white man who
can take the OATH"
We observe that in Georgia, the negroes
themselves are ambitious of the post. In two
Districts colored men have announced them
selves, and enforced their claims in published
addresses. They claim that the right to vote
gives them the right to hold office, and as they
are in the majority the whites shall not be elect
ed by their votes The candidates are Con-
servatives, and are in favor of universal amnesty.
The impression prevails that large number of
whites will vote for those negro candidates in
preference to white ones who can take the test
oath. -FreGeracksburq Herald
