The Sail Boat City of Ragusa-A Re
markable VOYAGE.

The sail boat City of Ragusa is probably
the smallest craft that ever crossed the ocean.
She is less than two tons burthen, was man
ned by two men and dog. Sailed from
Liverpool June and reached Boston Sept.
8, ninety-nine days out.
This remarkable voyage was planned by
Mr.. John Charles Beeckley, who is native
of Dublin, Ireland, he was accompanied by
an Austrian by the name of Nicholas
Purinaaz; both men were experienced
seamen. Conceiving desire to distin-
guish himself by crossing the Atlantic
Ocean in the smallest possible craft
that ever accomplished such feat, he pur-
chased little bark-rigged vessel, fitted her
up, christened her the City of Ragusa, and
with his companions, set sail for America.
In size, this craft is incredibly small for so
great work. Her length is only twenty
feet, her breadth less than six feet, she draws
about two feet of water, is fraction less
than two tons burthen, and spreads between
seventy and eighty yards of canvass; her
cabin of course must be uncomfortably
small; the wisest economy of space could
not render it otherwise than uncomfortable.
On the day of sailing from Liverpool, many
thousands of people gathered to witness her
departure and to wish her>a good voy.

tity of canned beef and other preserved

RallYIng Point.

A Conservative meeting called by the
Democratic Executive Committee was held
at Greeuville, Tenn, at which it was declar.
ed " that most, if not all, the laws passed by
Congress in reference to representation and
reconstruction of the Southern States. were
arbitrary assumptions of power and palpa-
BILE violations of the Constitution. u Rnor-
rae Wing, Sept. ~
Wegality and inoalidity of the recOnstruc-
ton measures of Congress! Consequently the
18th, 14th and 10Th Amendments are not
valid-not part of the Constitution-must
be cast out. This is the doctrine of the
Conservative party of the whole country. If
it prevails, what follows! Slavery and the
disfranchisement of the colored people of
the country. This done and the bulwarks
of liberty are broken down and a flood OF
darkness and tyranny and misery submergcs
the land; that which has been purchased at
such vast expense of blood and treasure is
cast away as worthless thing.
The evidences multiply daily that the
Democratic-C Conservative party OF the coun-
try, and especially of the South, is the party
of retrogression, of destruction, and of tyr
amy The letters which the peoples of Eu-
rope are rending, this party is endeavoring
to fasten upon free Americans. Let freemen
be warned.

Let the Work Go On,

The military movement by Gov. Holden
has been misrepresented and maligned. The
Governor has been severely censured and
abused many of his friends have manifested
painful GOODNESS and distrust. Candor on
the part of his enemies is not to be expect
ed, but friends should be cautious and re-
served in expressing disapproval.
We are confident that the result of this
movement will be verdict in the Cover
nor's favor. Certain it is, that foul and
widespread conspiracy, to be consummated
by the lash, the rope, the torch, and the
dagger, has been unveiled; that the attempt
ed murder of a State Senator has been ex-
posed; that the actual assassination of an
other State Senator has been faithfully in
vestigated, and its perpetrators are likely
to be arraigned and punished; that evidence
concerning the violent death of innocent
and unoffending citizens of Alamance Coun-
ty is brought to light; that the instigators
and perpetrators of whippings and burIings
have been detected and handed over to the
courts of justice; that the Klans in which
the shocking crimes which have spread ter
ror through the State, were planned and
ordered, have either been broken up or their
operations arrested; that in certain parts of
the State there is fair prospect of peace:
in short, that the majesty of the law has
been indicated, or if the reader please, the
determination and power of the Govern
ment to protect the citizen have been verified
Such are the present results of the military
movement; and if nothing more is effected,
surely an invaluable work for liberty and
justice has been accomplished, and the Gov
ernor should be honored. Aye, and he is.
Learned men, GREAT men may upbraid and
curse him, but the bleeding and crippled
victims of outrage, the fatherless and the
widow bless him. Truly he has broken the
jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil
out of his teeth, and has delivered the poor
that cried, and the tatherless and him that
had none to help him. Therefore the bless
ing of those that were ready to perish shall
be bestowed upon him.
In this light do the friends of impartial
liberty and justice, both North and South,
who are informed, regard this military move
ment. 1t has brought good, not only to this
State, but to the whole country. The base
ness of party that would resort to Kuklux
atrocities for the advancement of its purpo-
ses, stands revealed as in broad day. It is
the life of the country that is aimed at by
the White Brotherhood Now this is known
The man who had the courage to attack and
break up this insidious and bloody abomi
nation should be honored, and he will be.
But the work is not complete. There are
guilty parties at large who should be pur
sued until they are convicted. Outrages are
still committed and apologized for, and if
vigilance and investigation are suspended or
relaxed, Kukluxism will come to life. FOL-
loao the acoy into has den. If the State au-
thorities do less they will fail of doing their
duty, and will themselves, in the end, become
victims to the monsters wrath.

Ledru Rollins, the Republican French
Minister to the United States.


Ledru Rollins has been appointed by the
Republican government of France Minister
Plenipotentiary to the United States.
Mr.. Rollin is a lawyer-was licensed to
practice in 1880. Avowing himself Re-
publican and zealously advocating and de-
Tending Republican interests he early at
tracted attention.
In 1889 he became candidate for office
but was defeated; from this time to 184S
he was an eloquent and conspicuous Repub-
lican politician. He was intensely hostile
to monarchial institutions and had occasion
to bitterly oppose the King, Louis Philippe.
He was member of the chamber of depu-
ties, but he became so ultra radical that he
was abandoned by his colleagues in the
opposition" The National having declin-
ed to support him he established the Reform
newspaper, through which he advocated his
principles and indicated the cause of dem
ocratic liberty.
The revolution of 1S4S having been ac-
complished and hoping to see the Republic
established, he prevented the acceptance of
the Count De Paris as King under re-
gency; and upon the establishment of the
Provisional government he was made Min
lister of the Interior; this post he occupied
until the election of Louis Napoleon as
President. Regarding this election as the
overthrow of the Republic, he again went
into the opposition and was suspected of
conspiring to overthrow the President. His
arrest was decreed but he evaded the execu-
ton thereof by escaping to England. He
was then condemned to transportation. 1t
is charged that he employed his exile in
planning, in company with Mazzini and
others, conspiracies against the government
and life of Napoleon-and when permitted
to return under amnesty, he could not long
remain; he must seek personal safety in
flight. His exile has been spent in London
and Brussels. Whether engaged in conspi-
racies or not, one thing is sure, that he has
been diligently employed in literary pur-
suits and has published large number OF
legal and political works.
Ledru Rollin comes therefore to the Uni
ted States prepared to understand and ap-
preciate our institutions, and if permitted to
remain at his post sufficient time, will be
able to make his countrymen understand
and appreciate them.
One fact we hope that Rollin and all
France will early comprehend, viz: that
truly Republican government is the most
difficult of all governments to establish and
perpetuate.

The Indian Policy.

Secretary Cox, with the hearty endorse
ment and approval of President Grant, is in
augurating new Indian policy, one, we
trust, which will wrest the Indians from the
wiles and frauds of INSCRIPTIONS agents and
rascally traders. A policy by which the
large appropriations made by the Govern
ment for Indian purposes will be securely
guarded and honestly disbursed.
Messrs. George Fl. Stuart, VIM. E. Dodge,
]. v Farwell, Nathan Bishop, and William
Welsh, have been constituted an Indian
Commission, to serve without salary. They
are empowered to supervise the purchase
md disEa.ss:sent q = 81
wise the Government concerning, also to in
spect, all operations among the tribes. They
are gentlemen distinguished for intelligence,
philanthrophy and piety. The plan OF ope-
rations is, if we understand it correctly, the
following, viz: .s.
Each of the reservations has an agent who
is the supervisor and director of all affairs
of the tribes within its boundaries, and will
be furnished with blacksmith, carpenter,
and one or several teachers.
There are fifty reservations; these are d.
vided into six districts; each district has a
superintendent, to whom the reservation
agents report.
The old agents are to be superseded by
persons nominated by the different religious
denominations and missionary societies.
Each agent dominates his assistant; and it
is proposed to bring all Indian operations,
from the Commission at Washington down
to the carpenter on the reservation under
the full guardianship and restraint which re-
ligious bodies or missionary societies can
throw around their missionaries, in addition
to the constant inspection and control of the
government.
The different religious organizations of the
country have promptly responded to this
plan and proposition of the government.
"The Catholics have appointed agents for
the extreme North Western Reservations
The Presbyterians have taken the southern
and middle tribes; the Friends, Kansas and
Nebraska; the Baptists, Methodists and
Southern Presbyterians occupy the Indian
Territory; the Episcopalians and the Ameri-
can Board of Missions, the Sioux of Daco-
tab; the American Missionary Association,
the Chippewas and other bands in Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota"

Florida.

The political campaign in Florida is open
ing with great bittesness. The Conserva-
tives are determined to carry the State and
are pursuing the same untruthful and afro
cious course that their brethren adopted in
this State; success here has encouraged
falsehood and violence there.
On the first Tuesday of November Lieu
tenant Governor. member of Congress, Leg
islative Assembly, and half of the State
Senate are to be elected.
The Republican nominees are, for Lieute-
nant-G Governor, DR.. Samuel T. Day, South
ern man; for Congress, Gen. Josiah T.
Walls, colored man, formerly of West
Virginia.
The Conservatives nominate w. d. Bloxam
for Lieutenant. Governor, and s. L. Niblach
for Congress.
The Conservatives are led by Elk Governor
Walker, assisted by one Captain, Dyke, edi-
tor of the Floridian. They make numerous
and strenuous charges of fraud, corruption
and usurpation against the Republican adj
ministration, and propose to impeach Coy.
Reed and, it is said and believed, that they
have descended to the meanness and base
ness of sending agents to New York, who
by false statements are to attempt the ruin
of the credit of the State.
See what pure minded patriots these Con-
servatives are! Gov. Walker proposed at
one time to be supporter of Gov. Reed,
the present Republican Governor, he de-
sired and asked place on the bench of the
Supreme Court; Gov. Reed declined to ac-
cede to his wishes, and presto, change, Gov.
Walker fercely denounces Gov. Reed as
usurper
The shade and substance of Conserva-
tive's political creed depends upon whether
he has office OF not.
Capt. Dyke, it seems, attempted to swim
die the State in the matter of printing
charging thousands where he was entitled
to less than hundreds" In one case, where
he was entitled to $61, he brought in bill
of $1,000. In another, where the legitimate
charge was $3.50, he demanded $1,11S.
This is Conservative honesty not only in
FLORIDA but the world over.
The entire public debt for which the new
State government has issued bonds was crea-
ted by the old government. There were
also 100000 received by the old govern
ment for lands which have never been &C.
counted for.
These facts Gov. Reed alleged in recent
speech at Lake City. They are so charac
teristic of Conservative policy and tactics
whenever they have. been developed that
Gov. Reed can be safely believed.

THE Jonesboro' (Tenn.) Flag says: The
young stranger. who was so horribly cut
about the head last week, and left in an
open freight car insensible, near the R. r.
Depot, in this place, died on Monday last,
without returning to consciousness. A lady
from Wilkes county, North Carolina, named
Sarah Adams, recognized the young man as
being James Church, from that State, and
was very much affected at seeing him in
that condition. A profound mystery still
hangs around the awful murder. The Cor.
oner's jury resume their Investigations to-.
day, and it is hoped that testimony will be
adduced which will lead to the arrest of the
guilty criminals. A man by the name of
Nat. Bowman was arrested and is now in
Jail, suspected of completely in the murder.
The young man was buried on Tuesday in
our town cemetery.

France-Siege of Paris.

Victor Hugo after nineteen years of exile
has returned to Paris-he has also been in
terviewed by ~ Y. Herald correspondent
We are told that Hugo unbosomed his sor-
rows and announced his opinions to the In
terviewer in very free and magniloquent
manner. He desires peace; believes that
the French Republic will accept peace on
any honorable terms short of yielding up
territory to Prussia; thinks that the King
of Prussia having captured Napoleon can
afford to halt and make peace with the Re-
public that it will be an eternal disgrace
to him, King William, if he does not sheath
the sword also that the German people
will not sustain their King in prolonging
the war; he insists that the American peo-
pie shall protest in the name of reason and
in the name of humanity, against further
waste of human life, against the sacrifice of
people at the command of King.
1t is said that the King of Prussia will
not enter into negotiations until he reaches
Paris and can ascertain what parties are
competent to arrange the terms of peace
that shall be honorable and permanent; he
must have guarantees for the safety and
security of Germany for the future.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-THE Prussians are nu-
merous near Villeneuve, Dammartim and

GEORGIA STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The sixteenth annual Fair of this society, to
be held in Oglethorpe Park, Atlanta, Ca,
commencing on the 18th of October prox,
bids fair to be one of the noted events of
the year. The Fair will probably continue
ten or fifteen days. We witness with admi-
ration the energy and determination of all
connected with this enterprise, and we
would like to see a little of their spirit
thrown into similar matter nearer home.
The premium list amounts to $4,000; in
addition to which there is a special pre-
MUM, offered by the citizens of Atlanta,
of 81, 900 for the fastest trotting horse, and
$500 for the next best-"open to the world"
The railroad companies connecting with
Atlanta have made common cause with the
managers of this Fair and are giving mate
rial assistance in facilitating cheap travel
The managers of the Fair say they are war;
ranted in assuring ample hotel and board
ing-house accommodations for 100000
guests; and besides this, the railroad au-
thorities propose to run special trains on
four different lines starting in the evening
and returning at convenient hour in the
morning, thus enabling persons to lodge
in the adjoining towns. Five hun
dred tents, also. will be erected
in the Park. Trains will leave Atlanta
for the Fair Grounds every thirty
minutes, daily, during the Fair. This is
altogether a stupendous undertaking, and
we trust its projectors and promoters may
meet with the success they so well merit
The following resolution passed the Georgia
State Agricultural Society unanimously, hav-
ing representation from 100 Counties:
WHEREAS, THE Fair to be held in Atlanta
during the month Of October, 1870, is in
tended to be grand exhibition of American
industry; and
WHEREAS, SAID exhibition will be held
under the immedinte control and supervision
of the Georgia State Agricultural Society
therefore be it
ResoZ0ed, That we, the delegates and rep
resentatives to the Georgia State Agricultu-
raj Society assembled, do hereby extend to
| our fellow citizens of the North, East and
West cordial invitation to meet Their
brethren of the South at said Fair, to ex
change friendly greetings, to exhibit stock
| agricultural implements and other articles Of
home industry, and thus promote the mate
rial interests of all sections.
