UNION & RECORDER.ITor Congress—6th District,
JAMES H. BLOUNT, of Bibb.
Augusta Letter.Augusta, Ga. I
Oct. 1st, 1880.)Editors Union-Recorder:
The dreaded 39th has come and eone, and your correspondent is still in the land of the living, enabled to resume his weekly letters to one of the best papers in the State The only part of Augusta’s population that was in any way disturbed by Wiggins’ prediction, were the colored people many of whom thought that the day of judgment was about to dawn To^the credit of this people be it said that they manifested little, if any ex citement? A feeling of deep solemnity ^ppmed to pervade them, eve., their daily rounds of labor and as soon as released from then dihereni employments they would hasten to their respective churches, and pass the night in singing and in prayer The more intelligent were as little alarmed as their white friends and seemed to look upon the great (?^ earth-quake prophet as a fool or a knave. In this connection I take pleasure in saying that Augusta can boast of as orderly and upright a class of colored people as any community in the South. 1 As a rule they eschew polities, in lieu of which they devote themselves to the interests of education and religion. They have learned to regard the whites as their friends, and eagerly consult them about all matters pertaining to their welfare.Of course there are many exceptions to this rule, but my observation leads me to believe that the exceptions are gradually growing le3s. It is the duty of the white people to assist the col ored race in their laudable efforts to elevate themselves mentally, morally and spiritually. The great stride, or fockoSt as it is called seems no nearer to settlement than it did several weeks sl-*o. Many efforts have been made to reconcile the differences between the operatives and their employers, but all to no purpose. The Mill Presidents state that they will make no concessions until the hands go back to work, and the operatives declare that they will not return un- +il their demand for higher wages is complied with. About fifty hands are now at work in the Augusta Fac tory, and more are gradually bem„ added to this number, but the great mass of the operatives arestlldle Twenty or more nands were brought on by'this Factory from Patterson,N J. but as soon as they reached Augusta the strikers met them m large numbers, and they refused to enter the Factory. They claim to have been told nothing about the lockout or strike, and declare that they would never have left their homes had they been aware of the situation in Augusta. On the other hand, I believe President Phimzys agent avers that he made Known to them the exact condition of affairs among the Mills of Augusta. Grand Master Mevnardie is very much incensed that they should be brought to Augusta in this way, and threatens to make the Factory “pay for it. How he is going to do this is yet to be ^een< as, in my opinion no unbiased iurv is going to award damages against a corporation for offering •work to men. The Augusta Factory is trving to solve the problem by nil- inn- the places of its strikers, and if it continues as successful as it has been in the past two weeks, it will not be: lon^ before every loom will be running every factory at work, and the j great strike of ’80 shall have worn it-1
^Next Monday the schools of Rich-! jnond county will open their fall sessions. Most of them have already enrolled large numbers of pupils, and by the close of next week will have as many as they can well accomodate. The school population of Richmond county seems to increase annually. At any rate, there is a growing demand for seats in our public schools. The Houghton Institute has already enrolled 260 pupii§, and by the last of next week will add 100 more namesto the list. ^ . .
This is “Moving Day” in Augusta. Iu other words, the renting season begins today, and all who have decided to change their places of abode for another year must move on October 1st. And it appears to an observer that all Augusta is moving. The streets are lined with wagons, drays and carts piled high with furniture, while on the side walks may be seen children and servants carefully carrying glass-ware from one point to another. Oh it is the bane of housewives, and today’s sun will set upon many a tired frame in the city of Augusta. .
The day begins to depart, and night is fast throwing its deep, dark shadow's upon the land. How much like the human heart. Only a faint line divides the darkness from the light. Today in the sunlight of hope and joy: tomorrow in the deep darkness of despair. Hut the sun will rise tomorrow and chase away the darkness of the night. So the sun of Right eousness will drive away the heavy clouds of despair from the human heart, and illumine it with peace and jov. Houghton.
The trial of Luther Ellison, charged with the murder of conductor Bart Wall about one month ago on Collins street, which has been going on in the Superior Court since Wednesday morning, was concluded this afternoon by the jury returning a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy. As soon as the verdict was read, Judge Clarke, sentenced the prisoner to lifetime imprisonment in penitentiary. At the request of the counsel for the pnspner an or- der was passed suspending execution of the sentence for twenty , days to allow a motion for a new trial to •be made.—Atlanta correspondence of the Savannah News, Oct, 2.
The Georgia legislature to be elected next Wednesday will meet on the first Wednesday in NoYe^61, aext.
Republican Senatorial Convention.On Saturday delegatee from Han
cock and Washington met at the Court house professedly to hold a republican Senatorial Convention. Some of the delegates seemed to think they should nominate a republican, rather than indorse an independent. They could see no difference in indorsing an independent and an organized democrat. -The orators waxed warm in their discussion, as six were trying to speak at once. Thev finally adjourned and met at the C. M. E. church, with new Washington delegates appointed by the chairman from Hancock, and with such delegates we learn Mr. Kirkland was indorsed for the Senate. Will democrats support their nominee or the regular nominee of the democratic party? Sandersville Herald.

Turkey is Preparing for War. —The Turkish war department seems determined to prepare for the worst that may come. She contemplates equipping and drilling sixty thousand Turkish horsemen in the same manner that Russian Cossacks are equipped and drilled. Some that ought to know think that Russia s want of money is all that prevents war on a large scale. __
Mr. Roland B. Hall sold out his drug business yesterday to Mr. 1. M. Christian, of Amherst, Va. Mr. Christian comes well indorsed by the citizens of his town. Mr. Hall has been in the drug business in Macon for fifteen years and established a good business. He will become a citizen of Monticello, where he will engage in the insurance and real estate business.—Macon Telegraph, 2d.
