THORBURN'S GARDEN SEEDS.-The season has arrived when every family should begin, in good earnest, to put in garden seeds. Vegetables are indispensable in this climate, and those who neglect the kitchen garden are mighty apt to suffer. It is generally conceded, by experienced gardeners, that Thorburn & Co.'s seed are the best in existence, and it is a fact that those who once plant them never call for any other kind. We notice that L. E. & H. E. Welch have an abundant stock and every variety on hand. There should be no delay in procuring a supply. the reputation of being a gentleman and he was recognized by the army of Virginia as an honorable for. He waged no war upon women and children, and made the torch auxiliary to the sword only when absolutely necessary and justified by the rules of civilized warfare. It is understood that he is in perfect accord with Mr. Johnson on the reconstruction measures, and that he will follow the noble example set by Gen. Hancock.

TOWNSEND, A.A.G. ------------ AT WELCHE'S you may obtain a descriptive annual catalogue of vegetable and garden seeds, which tells what to plant, when to plant, and how to cultivate. You may also there obtain Grier's Southern Almanac for 1868.-These are worth everything to the farm and garden, and cannot be done without. ------- Trying to Make a Raise. We are informed that some of the illustrious Honorables, since their return from the Atlanta pow-wow, have been laboring severely, but vainly, to convince the colored voters in this vicinity that they should, by private contribution, pay them their hardly earned wages. Their success, so far, has proved a decided failure, the electors respectfully but firmly declining to invest, in that way, in Reconstruction. They can't "strike ile" in these diggins, for Bedford's "masheen" is sadly wanting in motive power, and now on a heavy up-grade. We suggest to the engineers, the trial of fireman Aaron Alpeoria's plan for extracting grease out of the State Treasury, to keep the old Rattle-trap from stalling before she gets to the second station. the traditions of unlettered tribes mention no parallel, and ir is not withinhe power of any known language to paint its monstorus deformity. What American can lookon the mottled herds and feel no tingle of shame mantling his cheeks! Even the vilest of the vile must yet retain some recollection of the pride of race and the glory of the Republic. However low Southern white Radicals, scalawags and Sherman-Shelabarger Reconstructionists may have sunk in the world's estimation and their own, they cannot strangle the upbraiding of conscience, or escape the consciousness of self-abasement. They have the brand of infamy upon the [[page ripped]]and they know it, and in their [[page ripped]]they can but justify the verdict that must forever "point the slow moving finger of scorn" at their moral leprosy. They have burlesqued and disgraced Radicalism itself, forfeited the epithets of "scalawag,""renegades," and miscegenation" by their vulgar ignorance, and brutal baseness, and have taken refuge from their own self-respect by imitating the cuttle-fish and rubbing against the "stinke." The Georgia assemblage is inconceivably below the lowest estimate the mind is capable of calculating. In honesty of purpose and integrity of character; in intelligence and intellectual training;in morals, statesmanship and patriotism, and in all elements that combine to make men worthy of the name , they have certainly wounded Milton's "lower deep." And these are individuals -the things, the very spawns of the lower strata of the nethermost deposits of their kind, that are to make a constitution, in the blaze of the nineteenth century, for an enlightened, civilized and christian race of white people! No wonder they make no progress no wonder their tongues were confused; no wonder they become beggars; no wonder they cursed their masters and got each other by the ears- Called together without constitutional authority, elected by fraudulent practices, and assembled for treasonable purposes, it is not strange that they met with insurmountable difficulties at every step towards their villainous designs. God may permit conclave of fals-eswearers thieves and plunderers to go far enough in the work of general destruction, to secure their own discomfiture, but he will not allow them to destroy His people, or overthrow governments that recognise His kingdom. He has made these creatures mad that they might destroy each other, and verily they are succeeding to a miracle. In a twelve days session they failed to take one step towards reconstruction, or the formation of a constitution; and done absolutely nothing for the good of the country, or their own security. The ridiculous "relief" mockery, the recomendation to Pope for his "wise humane and lenient administration", make up the sum total of their positive doings ; while their proceedings generally, bear the impress of ignorance, ill-breeding, malignity, hate, re- This community is much in debted to Lieutenant Howard for his prompt, determined, as effectual interferance , or there is scarcely anything more certain then that, but for his timely arrival and fearless conduct in dispersing the crowd, a bloody fight would have taken place. The troops, too be have well, and deserve much credit. Our citizens behaved with unprecedented coolnes and forbearance. They want peace and will make mauy[[many]] sacrifices to preserve it, but when the fight is commenced by the freedmen they are determined to be found prepared to balance accounts. We understand a white fiend by the name Fant was on a back street urging the negros to go in, help their color and make the night. Now, ten feet of hemp and a lofty limb would help that fellow some, and we say to him and all others of his villainous proclivities and practices, that such will, ay, shall be their fate if the dreaded conflict is precipitated. It will not be in the power of the U.S. troops the Union League to save them. [[underline]]One drop of blood from the veins of a white citizen, shed under such circumstances, will kindle a flame that nothing but blood can quench, and it will flow freely from the black hearts that kindle it[[/underline]] ----- Mr. Hill's Speech on Saturday. We had not the pleasure of hearing Mr. Hill on Saturday but our young friend, Oscar Lindsey, Esq., has kindly furnished us the following brief synopsis of his remarks. The Court House could not contain the audience, the immense crowd composed of whites and blacks , gathered in front of the building , and from the portico Mr. Hill spoke. He addressed his audience first, on the condition of the country, and said the constitutionality of the military bills would be ultimately determined by the courts; that the present Constitution would be declared the supreme law of Georgia, and the one to be framed by the convention at Atlanta, would be held to be nutlity-that a thing in itself legal, or its ordinances binding. He advised everybody, white and blacks, to vote against the action of said convention when presented for, ratification, and, as a mensure of success urged the organization of clubs, and the appointment of committees to detect frauds, and report mal practice in counting votes,&c.;&c. Mr. Hill spoke of Radicalism as dead-the victory already won-the only thing remaining to be done was to get rid of the fuss. He spoke of the future of the South as bright, and said we should hold on, remain true to ourselves, and the Democratic candidate in 1868, would occupy the White House. Turning from political to financial affairs, he drew a true and graphic picture of the condition of the whole country, and in a long, desultory conversational talk to the freedmen, advised them to suit themselves to the condition of things- that everybody had been disappointed in the price of cotton, and planters could not afford to pay the prices for labor that some were demanding; that their interests were identifies with the whites; that they should make friends of those with whom they are to live and from whom they expect to draw Gilbert, Alexander, Guinn, R, Hawkins, JJ, (2) Harrison, Sanders, colored, Hill, Mrs Martha, Hill, Jacob, Holton, Virgil S, Holt, Iverson, Hogan, JC, Jane, Rufus, Jackson, JJ Jones.
