Smith) the October Forum on the negro ^ is an interesting docu it discusses a somewhat of dpfequestioo from that ?hop. Haygood, it is noue the less entertaining and instructive He says for twenty-five years the South? ern people have been h o pefully awaiting the solution of the problem whether or Dot two distinct races can live together ni peace-every effort has been made save that for social equality and that sever will be made This is due to race prejudice says the alien philan? thropists, but Bill Arp declares that prejudice is judgment without know? ledge and could not be charged to the Sooth, though it might against those who have never known the negro in slavery or freedom. He admits the natural antipathy between the races to soet&t relations, and declares it has existed io all ages and countries where whites aud blacks have come ia. con? tact. Be says all laws attempting to secure >soc? equality are dead letters oo the statute books, and tibe negro "cannot abide in some portions of Ohio or Iodiaoa, nor take a walk io Asbury Park, nor be shampooed in Northern barber shop, any m >re than he can take rooms io a Southern hotel." Referring to the benefits of education on the negra race he says : "But educa? tion dotes sot assure goods citizenship Education without moral training has proved to be a curse instead of a bless ing. The duties that appertain to good citizenship., such as honesty, truth, chastity, industry aod respect for the Sa>batL, are not taught in the schools." Referring to the educational advantages th/:ty: enjoy io Georgia he says they ha re more ?ban 2.000 teachers in the State, besides th se io the university and other endowed institutions, and though the negroes show mark? ed progress at every examination there are 2,200e negroes on the eb&icgangs, 60 per cent of them being under 30 'years ?f age, 40 per] cent, being able to read and write, 50 per cent, being members of the church io good standing, and 1,350 ?>f them being confined for larceny in some form. He makes the additional statement thai if ott the young negroes who steal were prosecuted bj their employers there would be five times as many in the ehaingang, ile argues that stealing is a race trait with the negro, and he steals just because it is his nature to He has no moral training that makes him fear to steal ; he fears God not at all, mad man but little He bas no fear of being lost, not even the violent brute on the gallows. He says they make good serva?ta, and are ever ready to do yoor favor, and their stealiuge are usually articles of small value He says the old negroes who are sur vivers of slavery are the best servants and the most faithful, and education is making the younger generation dudes and vagabond?. They drews finely at somebody else's expense and both males and females are Issy and indolent They do not show proper respect for white people, and will not work if they can avoid it "The alienation is going on, widen ing deepening and intensifying The white mao ts losing hts sympathy and the negro his feeling of dependence Too much education and too little work are-the orime causes of this growing antipathy. His only resource M manual labor sod ?be education he is receiving unfits bim for this They live from haod-to mooth, sponge opon their working friends or kindred ; and yet they are able somehow to patronise every excursion and picnic that the more enterpriseing ones get up Tramps aod vagrants are multiplying io the neigborhood of ail towns aod sities, and from these the convict camps are supplied. The six oonoties in Georgia thai have the largest cities and the best equipped publie schools have famished more than half the con vie s.'' This is the ringing indictment, and when it is bore in mind that there are 131 other counties in the State, there would be seen to be force in the figures. Bill Arp does not essay to solve the problem, he simply slates k with great force. He suggests a separated law for whites and blacks, and says corporal punishment is the only kind that has ever reformed him. However this is impracticable. There cannot bc two sets of laws governing two sets of free oitizens, and if toe negro demonstrates the fact that be is incapable, as a race, of good citizenship, he will have to make way for other settlers who are more useful aod teachable, Tb?o is an age of progress and development aud if the negro is not willing to do his share of toe work the consequences wilt be upon bis own head. Bill Arp thus sisa? ?P the case : "The appr?hension is growing, and like a dark shadow it broods uvcr the land, lt is felt far more in thc couutry than in the towns aud cities, where pro? tection is at hand. Couutry schools for whites cannot be mair rained when there is a negro population intervening. Tue tendency everywhere is for whites to reot out their farms, and move to the towns where they cao safely educate their children This m omen tecas ques? tion is before the South. Seven million of negroes are face to face with fifteen milit?os of whites. How much longer ! ean they live io harmony ? It is a more vital question than silver j or gold or toe tariff, and the Southern { congressmen who fail to consider it are either blind or lacking in statesman? ship. It is the great nation*I question, i f thai ?ill not dowo st oor bidding."- J Angosta Chronicle. f The Ship Tennessee. - A Description of the Conflict in . bile Bay.

On the point of a narrow sa promontory of some little elevati which juts far in between Mobile B and the Gulf of Mexico, stands Ft Morgan, commanding the eastern main channel of the entrance to t bay, five miles lo the southwest. Fi Gaines guards the western entrain only navigable for small vesse Outside of the fort Faragut, wi a numerous fleet, menaced au altac Torpedoes and other obslructio were placed in the channel, leaving narrow entrance for blockade runnel Fort Morgan was garrisoned by abo 400 men, under the command of Ge Richard (Ramrod) Page. The Co federate naval squadron consisting the Ironclad Tennessee with foi small wooden vessels, under the cot maud of Admiral Franklin Bucham were auch o red in the tower bay. At early dawn ou the morning the 5th ot August, 1865, the offic* bu watch reported the Federal fle< with steam up heading for the for AH hands were called to quarters an orders given to prepare the ship ft action. Now, sanding the decks to cate the blood yet unspoiled was not very assuring procedure in view t the tremendous odds which coufron ed us. T'je Tenuessee was a screi propeller and went into commissio with about one hundred men, a con pany of marines with the followin officers : Franklin Buchanan, admiral James W. Johnston, Virginia,captaii. William L. Bradford, Alabama, exe cutive officer ; Wharton aud Benton of Tennessee and Kentucky, first an? second lieutenants ; Perrin, of Lou ii iaua, master ^Sinning, chief engineer S C. Raney, marine officer, Florida Conrad and Bowles,?urgeon and assis taut, of Virginia. lier battery consisted of ten incl ri tie Brooke guns two fore and alt three broaside, eight i.i all ; he armor was six inches of iron over fourteen inches of soild timber held together with two inch iroi bolts. She wa? constructed something after the order of the old Merrimac but much stronger ; her sharp iroi prow would have been formidable as ; ram, but she lacked ?peed for th ii purpose. Uer port h oies were pro tecled by heavy iron shutters, whicl proved a disadvantage in the fight. The Federal fleet moved ur. majestically in single file. It was * sublime spectacle, "but distance lend* enchantment to the view " Jt wai at once perceived that Faragut hat received large accessions to his forct during the night, among which were three double turicted ironclad moni? tors, one of which formed the van Suddenly a white cloud of smoke enveloped thc front, and roar ol artillery begins, the fleet pouriug broadside after broadside into the fort as tiiey pass in The iron moni tor Tecumseh, just in advance of the flag ship Hartford, as it is entering the channel, strikes a torpedo, and sinks in a few minutes. The whole crew, one hundred and thirty, except four, aie drowned. This caused thc fleet to halt, and just here Faragut's biographer, Mr. Lossing, say s he prayed for divine guidance, whether he should proceed or not Being answered in the affirma? tive, he gave lite order to advance I don't know about the payer ; it was short, but the poor fellows on thc Techumseh did not ?iave time to say that much. As they came inside the bay our guns opened on them, and our little wooden ships fought gallantly, btu were soon disabled aud captured. But one escaped inglo? riously like the Spartan at Ther? mopylae to tell the tale. Wo had now to fight the whole fleet single handed They poured their shot thick and heavy upon us at short range, hut with little effect, while our guns play? ed havoc on their wooden ship. After a severe engagement of thirty minutes or more a strange thing was seen : a whole Federal fleet consisting jf the strongest vessels iu the navy, manned by the best men in the ser? vice, retreated before one single ship. They ran up the bay beyond reach of )ur guns, and anchored. We held the Seid. The admiral ordered the men to liave breakfast. As soon as this was L?ver the crew was mustered on Jeck. Ile mounted a gun carriage sud addressed them in a stirring speech. As he closed in the lang? uage of Nelson at Trafalgar on "Tho sountry expects every mau to do his July," with a wild huzza thc men rushed to their guns As we bore lowu upon them under a full head A steam they seemed to be greatly astonished. "There was rushing to Mid fro and signalling in hot haste." But there were brave mon on those ships, and they were getting ready L?) receive us Faragut. himself a Southerner, as were Jenkins and ?ouett. We dashed in among them, but they were too fleet for us. We could net use the ship as a ram, but a fight with heavy artillery was precipi? tated, which beggared descrip- j Lion. "Then was the noise of j conflict, arms upon armor clash ing, brayed horrible discord." Sud? denly the firing ceases, we come in collision with something. The ship ; s gradualy being upset, everything j novable gravitates to ooe side lt teems as if we are about to stifler the ate of the RoyalJOSreorge* but after a Vw violent oscillatttntfl tin? ship comes i toan equilibrium and the fight goet j This was occasioned by one j the enemy'6 ships, the Mulingi I trying to run over and^ink m, tv it very nearly succeeded in do Under tti'o incessant storm of pon ous missiles hurled upon us at c range, every joint and i ib in the seemed to quiver and shake.

WA sut M; TON, Oct. 10 -- Nearly hal a million uf copies uf speeches on (hi silver question have been distributed or are being distributed throughout tin country at thc expense of individua senators. The cost of this distributor would bo a serious item if each seuatoi footed up bis own bill, but the custom among them is to subscribe for cacti other's speeches, lt fr quently hap pens, however, among thc more liberal senators that by the time a senator ha? gone thc rouuds of all the spec- he." delivered <>u a particular question, v> is about as expensive for him as if he had footed the bill for his owu speech in the first itistauce. The complete list of senators who have contributed to the literatute of the day ou the silver qu otion in the shape of speeches i*-sued as pamphlets are a* follows : Allen. Allison. Bate, Berry, Black? burn, Butler, Caffery, Camden, Came? ron. Chandler, C?ke, Cullom. Daniel, Dolph, Dubois, Faulkner, Galliuger, George, Gordon, Gray, liansbrough. Harris, Higgin?, Hill. Hoar.

Vance. Ve*?t, Voorhees. Walthall, VVasbburne. White, of Cali furnia, and Wilcott Of these spreche* tweuty-six have been against repeal aud twenty-four for it Other speeches have, however, been made which do not figure in this list. Thc most expensive speech was that of Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, the government printing office charging him $18 a thousand for it. This was due to its length Senator Sherman's speech cost $10 a thousand ; Mr. Allison's Iii ; thc average speech in length, like that of Mr Voorhees, eost $10 a thousand, these figures being thc actual cost of printing The greatest individual demand has been made for thc speeches of Senators Slier man, A litton and Mills on thc repeal side of thc question, and of Senators Daniel, of Virginia, and Cameron, of Pennsyl? vania, in advocacy of silver By indi vidual demand i? meant the requests of i people who apply f?r single copies for ! their own reading Oilier speeches, when it. romes to general circulation, j have* been printed in pamphlet form in j far greater quantities. The largest issue of any one speech j was that of Mr Vest, of Missouri, against repeal, which ran up to 100. 000 Orangeburg Times and Democrat : lt may have surprised some toik8 to learn that, it would require five years for thc mints of the United States govern? ment to coin $107,000.000 silver dol? lars, but th? time is not so surprising j when one has doue a little figuring. J The miuts have scarcely 300 full work? ing days in the year, or less than 700. 000 working minutes in five years To coin $167.000,000 in that time, lhere- ' fore, it would be necessary to turn out more than 250 dollar pisces per minute.
