MssSno. EDITOinS :-The writer
'bas not claimed any place in your
coluluns for the space of a lustrum,
to use An Anglicised hatin term,
ad -s.bnits the following notes
+of travel to your good pleasure to
accept or reject as soentoth good
onto you. The starting point was
a plantation or homestead on Sa.
luda, the temporary homo of the
Witer. The party was composed
-of six persons, five of the gentler
'lot from the ages of seven to thir
ty-five, and the writer who acted
us escort. The modo of convey
ance for the first thirty miles of
the journey was novel but judi
cious, considering the state of the
roads. It was an army wagon, a
Vrolic of the Confederacy, drawn by
four stout mules, and with a mat
trass on the bottom, and with
blankets and shawls overlaid, it
-wateven a luxurious equipage, and
4ne which, at the same time, was
proof against bad roads and a pro
tection from the mud caused by
the recent rains. The morning
as_ not promising, but a very
oal1y start gavO us ho of' reach
ing the end of our Gret stage, the
Pine House, 6 miles from Edge
field, on the Charlotte and Augus
ta Rail Road. The last ten miles
of the journey was the worst, as
rain set in just as we were leaving
Allen's, where we stopped to lunch
and refresh ot'rselves with coffee.
Then the blankets, shawls and
umbrellas did good service, and
though the roads were heavy and
ou r progress slow, from two o'clock
till five wo escaped a wetting, and
the ladies kept in good spirits. It
scemed like emerging into a differ
ent region when we struck the
Ridge road with its clear white
sand, along which we traveled on
ly a mile tilt we reached Minms
Depot, where we dlecided to stop
and tko the cars, and as the 1la
dies wished to visit the fatnily of
f.he gecntlemnan from whom the
De~pat takes its name, it was de
cided to be more agreeable to stop
thore than to go on in the rain to
the Pine House, seven miles fur
ther, to which point our baggago
had been sent before us. Our vis
it to the family at the Depot was
a pleaant ep)isode, owing to their
kcind hospitality, the comfo,rt of
fire and other pleasant surround
ings. Tihie lady of' the house in
sp)ired rocp yet from our knowledge
of her christian virtues and the
unall'eted kindlness of her greet.
ing, whilst tho welcome she gave
us was chvigt eary travel
los The young ladies of the
family-, the five daughters, from
the ages of seven to twenty, wo'ro
very interesting and so unlaffect
edly good. They spar'ed no pians
to entertain us but without any
effor-t or dlisplay, and they seemed
so united an d hiarmonious as a im
itly. The gentleman of the house
is a man of' ver'y fowv words andl
professions, but not the less truly
hospitable and not the less a Chris
tian gentleman as well as cnter
prisiing far'mor. I noticed as we
p)assed the barn yards the evidences
of or'der' and thrift, andl some fine
specimons of' cattle, and amongst
them some of the Br'ahmin. We
regr'etted that we should have to
pass over tihe road at night on
ouri fir.st trip on it, as we had been
told that the scenery on part of it
is wior'th seeing. Our baggage
had not been placed on the plat
form on account of our non ar''i.
val at the Pine house, and as
there was not time allowed to got
it from the (dpot, as the ear's, like
time and tide, wvait for no man,
we had to pass on to Augusta
without it, but to our agreeable
surprise we found it the next
mlorniniig in Augusta, having been
sent oti by 'an accommodation
traini whiich passed about twvc
hours after we did. The rain, was
pouring when we tookc the tumaini
and continued to pour until af'ter
wyo reached Augusta. The ears
pass through tile city at a slow~
speed and the writer stop)ped onl
to the str'eet near the Augusta
]Iotel where lie designed to stop,
whilst the ladies with another Os.
cor't passed on to the Depot fromt
whene they repaired to the house
of' a :ivy fr'iend(nand relative J
found nice, well furnished rooms
at the Augusta Hotel and very
obliging officials. The fare at the
table was good, and the wait
ors very prompt indeed. I had
only one fault to find. The table
cloth at the table where I sat did'
not look Inviting. I t h a d
rather too motley an appearance
or in other words did not look
snowy white, had too many spots
upon it an'1 needed a visit to the
laundry to erase tho coffee stains
and grease spots. I did not, how
ever, notice this fault in the same
degree at the other tables as I
passed them. In other respects I
liked the House very much,though,
as our party were to remain a few
days in Augusta, I went to a very
nice boarding house, Mrs, Mahar
ra's, where the fare was most c,
collent and the rates some lower.
This is a very nice boarding house,
and is situated over the National
Bank, which, by the bye, is a very
handsome building with a brown
stone front. I think it is the
handsomest front on Broad Street.
I visited the store of W. H. Tutt
& Land 'sovc'al times. It is the
handsomest store in Augusta, and
its internal arrangements will
compare very favorably with any
drug store in the oity, so far as I
have seen. The presreiption desk
is a perfect model, a gem in its
way. Its arrangement seems per
fect, and as it is finished or orna
mented with stained glass of a rich
color and tasteful designs, Mid is
always lighted, even during the
(lay the effect is very good. The
d(sk is semi-circular in form. The
other arrangements of the store
are very tasteful and the only
fault is that the ceiling of the
front part of the store is too low,
it not being a modern built house
as to the front part. The floor is
tessellated or checkered with white
and red tiles. 11. II. Land, the
working partner, is untiring in
energy.
A ";sia appeared more attrae
tive to the writer than ever before,
for he was never there before ex
cept when the street were unfath
omable with mud, or hot and dus
ty, but the municipal anuthorities
of Augusta have done wonder, and
now the streets and crossings are
never muddy in winter nor dusty
in summer. The crossings are nu
mncrous and constructed of substan
tial timber work, beneath which
are the sewers and drainage of the
streets, if I am not mistaken.

The revolution which has been
steadily "progressing" for the last
mnn years, must very shortly
recach a deccisivo point. The debhate
on the Mississippi bill has dlevel
01)e( officially the next move of
the extreme wing of theo- Radical
faction. Your read(ers have long
since become convincedl that, after
disposing of the Southern Stateq,
the next stop would be to "con
quer" the Northern and Western
andl the public has been fully post
od as to the 'subterfuge which
woeld be invoked to rob the States
of all impmlortant local legislation.
Mr. Ifoward, the other day, for
mally annouineed the program me.
The clause in the constitution "re
quiring the general government
to guarantee to every State a Re
publican form of government" is
insisted upon as conferring the
powver upon Congress "to inter
pret its meaning, andl to be the
sole judge of what constitutes Re
publican govern ment." One wvoufd
naturally have supposed tha,t this
monstrous doctrine could not have
been made more abominable-but
it was resorved for 1iMr. Morton,. of
Indiana, to add' that "Rbpnblican
ism," as construed by Congress,
noodl not necessarily be the same
ini the different States; that is to
saiy, that what Congress might
doom a IRepublican State govern
mont in Mansanehlim, it h.d the
powor to say was not a Republi
can Stato government in Mary
land. In a word, that though
your State constitution and that
of the hot bed of Yankoe contri
vances wore precisely alike, the
one might, and the other might
not, be "Republican in form." -
I have 9steemed it a duty thus
early to warn your readors of what
is already decided upon. as to Ma
ryland, in order that, being fore.
warn(d, they may be forearmed.
You will be required to place your
public scboo s stem upon the foot
ing of that in this District. You
will not be por mittod, in the mean
time, to adopt an educntional qual
ification like that of Massachusetts
-the two States, it is contended,
stand in very different relations to
the almighty negro. In the land
of wooden nutmegs, there are but
few (no negro of any self-respect
would live there) to be affected by
such a disqualification, while in
Maryland the race, destitute of
thd rudiments of education, are
numerous enough to promiso Rad
ical triumphs. Nor will you be
allowed to demand that the rin
payment of even a poll tax, levied
alike dpon black'and whitn, shall
operate as a disqualfflcation on the
part of the delinquent. All such
tax9s will,bo required to Io "col
lected" preliminarily, under pen
alties upon State offeers, and the
"refusal of judtges" of elections to
receive votes offered by such as do
not pay the general tax will be
punished by fines and imprison.
ment. The bill introduced by Mr.
Morton "to enforce the fifteenth
amendment" is but a commence
ment of legislation looking to the
humiliation of Maryland, Kentuc
ky and dlaware. It provides
that all citizens of the United
States, without distinction of race,
color or previous condition of ser
vitude, who are otherwise quali
fid by law to vote, shall be enti
tled to vote at all elections for
President and members of Con
gress, and at all State, county,
township and municipal elections
held under the authority of the
United States, or of any State. In
cases where the assessment or pay
ment of any tax is a qualification
of an elector, the refusal or willful
neglect to assess or collect such
tax is made punishable by a fine
of not less than five hundred dol
lars, and imprisonmont for one
month, and forfeiture of five hun
dred dollars additional for each of.
fence. Judges of election who
shall refuse to receive the v'otes of
such persons are to be punished to
the same extent. Thei Circuit and
D)istrict Courts of the JUmted
States are given jurisdiction over
all proceedings uander' the above
provisions.
I know it has been thought, and
that it is still hoped, by many of
our friends in Congress, that the
extraordinary steps threaten ed,
if persisted in, must finally lpro
du1ce serious (divisions among laadi
cal Senators and mecmbers. I have
indulged these hopes, andl express
0(1 them several times lately. But
wvhat is to be0 expc('tedl from men
who merely make a showv of oppo
sition to exstn oppression andl
pr'ofligacy, for the purpose of en
hancing thecir price Y Look at
Dlawes? lie has been "gratified."
,Mr. Car-pentor made a bravo
speech against the dloctrino of
IIowardl and Morton. Hie stigma
tizedl it as "enough to make Web
ster turn in his gr-aveo; that it wvas
a fallacy whose danger could not
be over-estimated." Yet observe
how the wary politician p)rovidos,
in adv-ance, for a safe retreat, Hoe
r-emarkod, in ('conclusion') that
'tho regret.ted to differ with his
Republican colleagues and whli lo
he wvould go reluctantly where
the party str-ength carried him,
he would implore his Republican
colleaignoseotrto insist upon con
ditiod.w h.iholhvouldI never s tind
the test of the constitutidn."
To render' t<ho above remarks
more intelligible, I shall take the
liberty of quoting a- short par-a
graph from.n the' speech of Mr';
Morton-on M'onday last, in r
sponse to the eloquent "appeal"
of Mr. Carpenter :
"Mr. Mor-ton believed the party
stood squarely upon the dloctrine
that the power to bui up im
plied the power to preserve. Ho
denied the assumption upon which
arguments on the subject were
generally based ; that in securing i
a Rtopublican form of government
in the States it was essential
that the means should be uniform
in every case. Congress was to
be the judge, not only; of the I
means, but of their method of ap
plication. In a State whore the
people could not read or writo,
w hat better guarantee of a Republi- I
can government than tho general t
education of the people?.
