From the Richmond Whig.
After al, the abuse the Funder are
heaping upon the colored people now is
no more offensive than the methods by
which they sought to gain their votes be-
fore the election. They assumed the
negro was without sense and tried to de-
ceive him they assumed he was without
honesty and tried to buy him they as.
slmed he was without independence and
tried to dictate to him through such
ovrrseers as Van AuKen, DeZeudorf and
Allan. But how sweetly they talked OF
their colored fellow citizens previous to
last Tuesday, and now they call them
ignorant negroes" Soon they VIII
change their tune again, and az to the
cololed mem bers of the Legislature, at
tempt to cajole, buy or bully. Bah their
arts are SO transparent that an idiot might
pen, trate them. They are like the child
who cannot stay in his hiding place un-
til the gaDe il over. Their hatred and
contempt for the colored people breaks
out in spite of policy, and even in seek
ing bis support they use means which
drive it away.

The gloomiest picture yet presented OF
the condition Of affairs in Georgia is thus
made by the Thomasville Enterprise:
"The farmers have made very little cot
ton, and the rains have ruined all they
have not picked. They made but little
corn, and that is rotting in the field, be-
cause the land is so soft they cannot
gather it; and if they did 1t is too wet to
put up. The potatoes are so watery they
are not fit to at,and If they are dug they
will rot in few days. Peas are running
in the fields for want of picking, and the
sweetness OF the sugar cane is so dinted
it will not make syrup. The negroes
can't work while 1t is raining, and when
it stops they all want to come to town to
see how it looks, and no work can be got
ten out of them"
