The Negro Convention.

Of the Radical Negro Conventions in the "un.
reconstructed States" only two have flushed
their business and adjourned, d,-thosc of Alabama
aud Florida; the rest Of them arc still working
wrangling, and spending '(idly and wrongfully)
the peoples money. The Georgia Convention
has been in session about sixty-fve days. The
days Old in grace and glory. And in the other
Stntes these useful and elevated bodies arc OF
like long continuance. But they will all soon lie
over with, for the Southern States must be wheel
ed into the Radical liue in time to take part in the
great fight for the next Presidency.
The Alabama Constitution is glaring and
monstrous piece Of vilany. These Conventions
have been fertile in producing mischief; and is
now problem how long the two racea, after the
hollish teachings Of the Radical itinsrants who
crowd these bodies, can continue to live together
in anything like peace and concord. But until
tue completion Of the Constitution, under which
the white people Of South Carolina may have to
live for n while, We will say nothing further upon
this subject. The probability seems to he that
the South Carolina Convention will adjourn about
the middle of the present month.

Nary Niger!

The first and foremost duty of the Great hinged

to be law-making. On the contrary, manoeurer-
ing and connving in regard to State and Federal
positions of honor ~ and profit, seems to be the
chief business. To day, TUESDAY loth) Union
League Nominating Convention, or some such
nasty affair, ia to sit in Charleston.
And'who are to monopolize the said positions
Of honor and profit? Mackey, tho uorshipful
Chairman Of the Uullwful, is to DO United States
Senator for tho long term Rutland of Fairfield
or Whittemore Of Darlington, for the short term
Bowen of Charleston is to bo Congressional Rep
resentntive from the 7nd District; Whittemorc
(if he is not made Sonn.or) or Moses, from the
lst; Duncan Of Ncwberry, from our own; and
Allen Of Greenrille, Piilsbury, from tho devil
knows where, and others from tho Same locality,
to fill out the bill. One THOMAS ROBERTSON of
Columbia or Gen. ScoTr of tho Niger Bureau
is to Gil the Gubernatorial chair. CHAMBERLAIN,
an ox-Massachusetts lawyer, is to receive the ap.
pointment Of Attorney General. MOSES or CAR
DozA is to be Secretary of State. And tho latter
name reminds us that we have made little mis-
take in our caption, for CARDozA is niger, and
big one at that. But nevertheless, it amounts
after all to "nary Niger" In fact, we are To-
formed that brace of niggers went on to Wash
ington from this same Ring StrOakod to ask if
Thud Stevens and others wished the election of
niggsrs t5 Congress, and returned with the flat
Il
wish the election of nigsors. It is plain that the

wrong at the tender hands of their Radical

Commercial Manures, and where to obtain them,
We copy the follow lettering: E:C
BARLOW, Jefferson county, Ga, Dec. IL, '67.
Ntssrs. Wiicor, Gibbs d Co.:
Last spring. my son-in.law, W. N. Parker, who
has the entire management of my small farm, ap-
piled your Manipulated Guano to some poor Pine
land. For Cotton, he used about 200 lbs. per
acre, and about SO lhs.only for Corn. He applied
tho Guano alone, az it came from your laboratory,
and the results were three fold increase Of Cot
ton, and Doubling Of The quantity of Curu, per
acre. The Cotton land would probably without
the Guano have produced between 300 or 400 lbs.
Of seed Cotton per acrc. With the Guano, it did
prouuce from 1000 to 1900 lbs. per acre. In
carly autumn, we tried this Guano for Tarnips,
ei land old and worn, and without tho addition
Of any other kind of manure, and the result was
a splendid crop Of Tarnips. from land which
without the Guano, would have yielded us moth
ing. About fre or six weeks ago, Mr.. Parker
sowed broadcast about $50 to 900 lbs. of the same
Guano per acre, for Wheat. The crop has como
up beautifully aud looks remarkably we'll. say
nothing against any other fertilizer. God bless
everybody and everything that work TO bless our
ruined country-but know yours to Je a splendid
article, and heartily commend il 10 everybody.

TERRIBLE DEATH OF BRAVE SOLDIER
The telegraph gave US brief report of an in.
cendiary fire in Tallahassee, on Friday last
by which tie Store of Messrs. Kerksey {
johnson. with some $4,000 worth of goods,
were destroyed and other property damaged.
It was also mentioned that young Federal
soldier, named Chas. W. PYatt, native OF
New Brunswick, N. j., covered by falling
wall, was burned to death. In its account
ofthe 6re, the F10ridian says. by the uueS-
pected fall of the wall, young Pyatt, who with
others was engaged in endeavoring to save
property, was buried beneath mass of rub
bish. Prompt efforts were made to extricale
him, as we'll by officers and soldiers of the
regime ut, as citizens; but the flames were
too hot and the poor fellow. amid the dis
tress of the spectators and his own cries for
help and groans of suffering, was literally
burned to death, dying martyr to his zeal
in the effort to save the property Of strangers.
When it was found that it was impossible TO
rescue him, a suggestion was made that be
should be instantly killed by blow from In
axe in the hands of comrade, but he begged
them not TO do it. Hope of ultimate safety,
even in his desperate strait, did not desert
him. His remains were rescued on Friday,
and were buried in the afternoon of that day,
being followed to the grave by large con-
course of citizens and soldiers.
