encircled by a colored band. A full white
ruffle completely surrounds the nock abovo a
loose frock of dark green cloth, with sloshed
sleeve* and skirt opcu from bclt.to knee, the
lower limbs encased in truncated breeches and
long hose, with shoes and rosette*. A straight
sword is worn at the belt and a long'truncheon
or spear carried in the hand.- This is full

or, more properly, rhomboid, which these wall*
enclose, (forming the "Inner WarJ,"eo called,!
.stands the " CitadrJ,'^ver "White Towor," a
building about 100 feet square. This Tower
which is tho most conspicuous part of tho

was built by Wiilium tho Conqueror, in 1079*
Its erection was intrusted to a bisbop whose
excellent tasto is manifested in the beauty of
the graceful turrets which guard and adorn
the four angles of*this ancient stronghold.
White Tower ia nearly 100 feet high and
divided into three stories with a basement of
spacioas vaulted apartments. The Mint
which wns formerly situated in tbe Outer
Ward, was removed several years since to
Tower Hill outside the walls, which, it will be
remembered, was the jiluc^ for public,execution
of Stato criminals. Having made tbo

is called to tho Traitor's Gate, opening
from the rivor into a gloomy arcliway beneath
St. Thomas' Tower and leading up a flight of
stone steps nearly .opposite the Bloody Tower
in which tradition says the two youthful sons
of Edward IV wore cruelly put to death.

London Tower, from the time of its ereo- ^
tion, has been the depository of national arm*
and war equipage; and now, in addition to ^
specimens of warliko instruments ef every
age in English history, it oontains 60,000 ^
stands of modern arms; and, in the llorse
Armory, which ocoupics a new building, erected
for the purpose, is illustrated the magnifl- '
cent idea of exhioi'ing armor on lil'o-siso effigies
of men and horses. Here may be seen
the different stylos of arm >r, worn by English S
sovereigns, between tho reigns of Edward I, l1
1272 and James II, 1AS3. These knightly o
figures and their horses arc carved in wood, f

ia repeated on ail the different parts, even the I

passage-way between tho Horse Arionry and '

decapitation of Lords liulmcrino, Kilmarnock |

One ancient instrument of warfare here ex" ,
hihiled, was called the " liol^y-wutpr Spriukler'* g
and another, the " Morning Star." An equm- j
trian figure of Queen Klizabcth, life-size, is ^
conspicuous in this apartment. Her cunt nine

apidly and continually Wing ground

|de assured him that the South would be,
n a year or two, entirely released from negro
domination, and the advise given on

lo give their consent or aj prove 1 to the
teheme of negro supremacy, attempted by
ihe reconstruction nets of Congresa The

Lhey did not fight to set up aegso govern

ihe South is now aniioue to accept.
In thie opinion, the Northern Democrats,
and all ft lends of the Constitutional Union

white men of the South, mote especially
those still deeried as rtbtl*, are this day

have in Tenneaaee, tba mam of tba white
people, that tbay might eontlnue to tnielead
and govern tba negroee to their ruin, and
even to the degradation of their own families.
What a price they pay for the chance
of holding office for a year or two, to willingly
surrender their wives and children,
brothers and sistera, kindred and race, to
negro equality, and negro domination.?
Such men, whatever their root1 van, if they
should unhappily sneeeed In fastening on
the Southern States, universal negro suffrage
on the one side, and extensive disfranchisement
of white people on the. other,

advocates of negro sup rem aey. Th? friend,
of the government of the white man are the
most num<rolls among white men, not only

Prospect of DtIdi to the South.
Whilst General Scott and other Bureau
agents have been most incouragcingly reporting
on the good rcsnljs of a free negro labor,
Ucnerol Oii.i.aw, of Mississippi, lias been
forced by facts to oiposo the lamentable condition
of the negroes in the military District
of General Ono, particularly in the State'
where thero nro thousands upon thousands
likely to suffer for want of supplies, superinduced
by the Government policy. We see it
stated that in Memphis thero are twenty thousand
negroes, without the prospect of living,
threatened with suffering from want of lood.
In Alabama, also in the flense negro population,
tho same calamity is threatened. Wo
no t a gentleman and lady, a few days since, on
the rail-road, just returning from their former
plantation, situutod in Montgomery or
Lownds County. They said tho negroes were
much more ready to make eontraets than they
were last yoar, but the bad prospects for cotton
and ita grievious tax, together with tbo
scarcity of provisions, prevents ready employment.
The stock of cattle and sheep, and
what tew boga there were, ia fast disapcaring I
they arc stolen or waatefully killed up by the
negroes, and the prospeet is ono of utter want.
They hid killing even the milk eowi, for pref?tit
fupptiea of meat.
The difficulties of managing froo negroes,
if left to tho whites of the South, although
very great, might have been orcrooine to a
configurable extent, but for the, rubbl interference
of a Radical Government and their
Radical emifariof, hat nothing can be expected
in most aeetiona of the Southern -country, bat
offering and disorder, under the present condition
of tliinga.

tion of a large number of respectable families,

patronize these institutions, and give them

Band Your Cotton to Charleston via. Co*
lombut.
We again refer to rl?? advantage ol send iig
cotton to Charleston, where the prtoe is
much better than in Augusta. Tlra GreenV
He and Columbia llni.r >sd, ami the South
Carolina, have wisely and generously re
duccd their freights to a moderate rate,?
Co*ton ia a full cent on the pound higher in
Charleston, on the average, over the An
gusta price*. Tliia will pay all expeusee of .
carriage, and ia a saving ol tha wear and
tear, exposure and loss of lime in hauling
it to Augusta.
Wa are not surprised to hear a good re
port of lh? quantity of cotton now Melting
the Railroad lines.

The Now?Year.
Oar paper of tali week, in tlie regular
course of publication, is issued on the Art*
day of January, 18Alt. Wo wish our patroni
and friends, and the whole country, a happy
New-Year. Doubtless, the prayer of our
Southern peoplo is with one video, in tha language
of Scripture, " Oh, Lord, send now prosjftrity."
May truth and the right prevail ia
all things which concern mankind. Truth ia
religion according to the Bible all over the
world; Truth in our polities according to tha
^ Constitution. And may it please (lod to overthrow
and disappoint all who are striving to
operate upon society and the affairs of Government
outside and against these great charters.
" And let all tho people say Amen."?
He who will not say so, is an enemy of the I
Truth, of God and to hisfellows. " Let no such *
tuau be trusted."
