Jefferson Davis wga -elevated to ld* h!g;i
p 'sition by our suffrages, and in response" to
our wishes. We-'impeded uponbim's respot -
aibiltty frhich he did not se. k. Original^
opposed to the sectional policy,to which pub
lic opinion, with irreaia iblet powor, . finally
.drive him, he became the (?xponent of our
principios and tire leader of our c?n<>?. II*
simply responded to the unite 1 voice of his
section. If he, theu^-is guilty"; so are We;
wo were the principals ; he wis our agont.
Let noe the retribution of a mighty nation
be'visited upon his bead, while we who urged
Lira to h's destiiiy are suffered to escape;
The liberal clemency of the Government ?as
been extended, over rn?;-we breath "the air
and experience the blessings of freedom-; Wo
therefore ask that the Leader , who, in re
sponse to the democratic instincts of bid tin
ture, the pr'no i pies of bis party, and the so
li citations of his section, become the bead and
front of our. offfndth?, shall. not now be

Mr: Dav's w?M 'n->t tho leader of ? feeble
and temporary insurrection; be was the
Bepr sentative of greut ideas, and the expo
nent of principles which stirred and Consoli
dated ? numerous and ?nte?h>;nt people. T?i?
people was not bis dupe. They pursued the
course which they adupted of their own free
will, nod ho did not draw them onv but fol
lowed after thean. It is for these reasons
we invoke the executive clemency in his be
hilf. His frame is "feeble; his health is
delicate.
. - . " All broken by the storms of State"
he languiahe? out in captivity a vicai ious pon
ishment for the acts of his people. Thou
sands of hearts are Kouched with his distress ;
th pa *?n is ot prayer i ascend to Heaven for
his relief. We invnke ia his behalf the gen
erous exercise cf the prerogative to pardon
which the form and principles of the Consti
tution offer as a b?n?ficient- instrument to a
merciful executive. We ask the continuance
of that career of clemency which your Excel
lency baabecin.and which alone, we earnest
ly believe, can secure the true unity and the
lasting greatness of the nation. Dispensing
that mercy, which ia inculcated by the exam
ple of Our Great Master on highV your nama
will ba transmitted to your country CE en aa
one of the benefactors of mankind. The
constitution ot our country, renewed and for
tified by your measures will once mora ex
tend'its protection ovor a contented and hap
py people, founded, aa it will be o poe consent
anet affection and u reding, like the great arch
of ike Heavens equally upon ail.n
Now this goes to ".he heart. No sneaking
pro testa ti ona tb it we wera doned, that we may
get off scot free, while a gallant gentleman,
oar free choice, plues iu captivity as a scape
goat; No speaking of one no more guilty
than ourselves in a toae of half contemptu
ous pity as though because-we were pardoned
aad he not, we were .therefore so much bis
superiors. Frank, straightforward, truthful,
gallant, well expressed, this memorial is hon
orable to the band that indited it and the
State that will send ii; forth.

the Divine guidance in the. ways of rational
virtue and holiness.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set

It is not improbable that .the present extra

Free-Labor Potato.
Onr good frtaud, that very enterprising fanner,
Gol. JOBS HU IST, sends us a sweet Potato, of
which arithmetic almost falb to compute rte size
and weight. At first gl&aee, we thought nothing
short of. tons aad furlongs would describa it, but
upon actual weight and measurement, we ?ad its
calibre" to be as fellows) weight, &? pounds; cir
cumference, twenty-two Inohee. We keep it upon
our .tabla for exhibition j and all you who cant
ge te Augusta te see th? Cirous, can solace your
ie! vos by coming into our sanctum and looking
at Col. HEIST'S grand Emancipation, Freo-L?bur
Potato.
P. S. Sin co writing tho above, Col. HCIET has
teat us two more Potatoes of the sams sort-only
more to. Each of thu?; latter onos weighs 10?
lbs; one ef them ls 82 iaohea in circumference;
tie other is longish-very lc-w/i?K. Wo intend to
build a wigwam over these monsters respectively,
and ?kop orT a f apply fer dinner each day during
the winter. It is really to bo feared that Ol. H's
plantation will tarn into one big solid Potato.

ind up< n sn in?iic'm?i?t.underi<hi?-at'!, suoli c m
tract must bo produced, or on failure thereof/ rhei
pnrty shall Le ci>nviefed, and taxed according
ly. Such au act would effectually -prevent ne
groes from b"coming ",Fquatt*ri?,"'aud fo:cc them
to hire thcmsblrus to snmo white mic; abd they
munt then labor or bira ve.
Such au act, however, .wprdd necessarily give
rise ro further legislation. IC tho negro is pro
vonted from owniug or renting: land, then it iii
but jaie tluvt tlie wbite man bo cum pel Iud to giru
him employment. Let it therefore he further
enacted that every former owner of'slaves bo
compelled, uhdor heavy penalty, to hire alibis
formcrfclaves, if said slaves male application to
aim for employ mont; with this condition, however,
plainly set forth in the written oontract, i. c. that
thc negro agrees to work a ce?eain number of
hours per diem, (8 or 10,) unless sick ; and upon
his failure to. do so,, the enrpjAyer shall have tho
liberty of bringing Faid negro before a conrt of
three freeholder*, ?.nd these shall have tho power
of inflicting ifuch punishment a* they shall judgo
proper cud jost :-provided they do not use tho
whip, but only ?ueh punishments as are inflicted
npon'whito men ia thc United States Army.
.Jher; can bo no just causo i-f complaint against
either of the proposed acts... In the first cuse, the
Sute Burely hos a right to tax its citizeas ts?it
sec? fit, npoi the salo of aay property. If the
ownor of real estate does nb>- wiih to pay the
proposed tar, he bas only to decline soiling to
free negroes; and the United States C-ivemment
has suroly nothing to do with the taxes ?nipoesd by
the State upon her white population.
In the scoond ease, the negro is left to his op
tion whether ho will hire himself to tho white
man or not ; there is no compulsion proposed.
But H ho ofpKe* for employment, and puts thc
white man to the expense of preparing for a crop,
then he must be compelled to fulfil his part cf
the contract.
Such luws, wo think, if judiciously and firmly
enforced, might yot save the country.
It is idle, however, to supposo that such laws
could be onfnrccd without a proper military or
ganization of the conntry. Let ovcry saan in tho
State from sixteen to fifty be mustered into ser
vice ; anns fnrnisked by the State j and all officers
above tbo rank of Sergeant,- appointed by tho
Governor. Give tho officers the same power'ef en
forcing discipline and obodicecc as belongs to offi
cers of the rogular Army ; and mako it compuliory
both upon ofil.'ur aud soldier to do his duty to the
State for the next twelve months.. Such a
course will bo ono of the groatost humanity
both to the negro and to the white man ; but
chiefly to the former. Such an organization of
tho military would show the nogro thc madnoss
of putting his hand teP? violence ; it will
induce him ttl kct?p lu? peace, anti IMV? th? Mool*
race from that indiscriminate slaughter which
must bo the iueviable result if they commence a
servile war. A fearful amount of suffering may
bo prevented by putting the State promptly under
a proper military organization; and wc earnest
ly call upon tho Legislature to attend to this matter
at once " An ounce of prevention ls better than a
pound of cire."

Antichrist.
What is said in the Bible abont the coming of
Antichrist ? Do not many things now happening
in the world denoto his near approach ? Terrific
and bloody wars rage ; the direful and pitiless
cholera rages ; tho cattle plague rages ;' fires,
murders, raper, robberies, all sorts of wickedness,
rage.' And last ef all, religions eonfusim rages.
Should we call it nUgioue confusion ? We mcun
confusion of creeds, broaking up of sects, disrup
tion of churches, skoptioisin, infidelity, ditiappear
anoo of Christian charity from off the fune Of the
earth.
Thc signs of the times convince us that some
thing extraordinary is going to happen in tho re
ligions world. Should ..?? ;-y. religious world P
Wo mean the world of crcedi and churches. Per
haps a new religion is to to inaugurated with
miracle* aud woudurs and tho opening of tho
heavens. Tho upheaval; ol ill the old forms and
creeds which usually annouoco the beginning of
a new dispensation are uot wanting In this gene
ration. In England, we fine Bishop Colenso of
Natal, and his large and powerful- party, deny
ing the truth of the Pentatcuth, or Flvo Books of
Moses ; and many pious pasters and authors* ridi
culing the Thirty-nine Articles of tho Engliih
Church. In France, thc subtle and philosophical
Beean arguer against the divinity of Jesus, and
gains many followors. In Germany, Strauss and
others are the eloquent and plausible apostles of
a poetical Infidelity. At Borne ;he Popo denounces
a'l othor religions as false, md praises his own
as porfoetioa ; while' Protestait?}, Sn their turn,
stigmatize tho Popo ns an impostor. Ie Now
England, the parsons all differ each ono seeming
to consider himself, and himsdf alone, inspired
of God. . The Xorth Amerism Jl ev ino styles a
Yankee prenchor, Theodoro Puk er by name, a
modern Jesus. Thc Methodist: of the South will
not hold love-foast with tbsL* brethren of the
North. The Baptists ditto. Tbo Episcopalians
ditto. The Presbyterians ditto. Tbo Mormons
aro obtaining thousand of prosdytee to their new
and most flagrant ereod. The Universalism, who
believe that nobody will he damned, fraternize
Bordially With the Beecherites, who believe that
overybody will oe damned eicont themselves.
And to cop the climax, tho Ber. Ward Beecher,
pastor and shepherded thc nforoaid Boooherilos,
aas discovered and proinulgaNd that thoro is
'no Hell"-not even for the sl.ve-torturing
south ?arolirians.
The greatest laxity of opinion is almost every
where allowed. Throughout Chriitoiidoni it feeuu
0 bo tacitly conceded that thc Bide must not bo

uing to not belioving it at hil. And in the midst

FKXIANISM_The Briti* Government have
sent detectives from London to this country
to watch and report the movements of* tho
Fenians. It iff stated that detectives ?re al
ready iu New York, and that ofhers are iu
Chicago, where this body is organized" iu
srrcatcr stronglh than any other city, except
New York. Evidently our English cousiud
are becoming frightened at the belligerent
movements of their Irish-adm i rere in Ameri
ca and Irelaud.
SUXN'??S'S IN* ILLINOIS.-Bilious, intermit
tent and remittent [evora prevail more ex
tensively this Benson, iu Illinois, than at any
time for the psst twenty years. In the "south
em portion the Courts have been obliged to
ndjourn-jarors, witnesses and litigants being
nuable to attend. The central portion of the
State is suffering severolyy btit not to the
same extent. Heavy and long continued,
rains during the ?unitner, by which' rank veg
etation was produced and ponds formed al
most everywhere, are assigned as'the reasons
for this extraordinary malaria visitation.
It is Hlatcd that the counsel of Jefferson
Davis expressed a desire that his client be
accorded immediate trial. The desire comes
originally from Davis, who, it is said, has de
clared that he has " no fears for the ?3?u?,"
and that, therefore, tho Government will do
him a great favor by arraigning him at the
earliest possible moment. It is also reported
that the recent favorable change in bis eve
ryday lifo was mainly the work of the Presi
dent, arid at this hour ho has almost every
thing that he could a?k save liberty itself ?nd
the preaenTe of his family about him.
"WHY ALABAMA. REPTJDIATBD.-The Charles
ton News publishes an extract from a letter
written by a gentleman in Mobile to a mer
chant in the former city, concerning the repu
diation of the Stato debt, as follows :
" The State bf Alabama repudiated the
debt contracted during the war under a mis
apprehension that the President would re
quire the State debt, as well aa her share ol
the Confederate debt, to be repudiated before
be would allow her te regain her position m
the Union. President Johnson only requir
ed her to repudiate that portion of the*Con
federate debt which she had agreed to as
sume."
The writer is mistaken. President John
son requires and insists that every dellar con
tracted by tho Southern States in aid of the
war be repudiated, no matter whether it be
the Confederate debt or the debts contracted
by tho respective Sta:es-Constitutionalist.

LoiriufXKJL.- G.;.vorr.r.r Wt'} U, of Louisiana,
with the approbation of Gen. Canby, has or
ganized four regiments of cavalry for service
in districts threatened with negro violence.
Arrfoug the colonels who have received cora
miisions aro Scott and Grayson, who gained
considerable reputation in the late Confede
rate war. General Fullerton, the military
head of tho Freedman's Bureau, has also is
sued an address to the negro population, in
which he tells them that they have been mis
taken in the idea that their late matter's
plantations were to be divided up among them
on Christmas day; moreover, tha* tho Gov
ernmeut is not going to supply them with
farming tools, mules, clothing, or food for the
next planting season. The address is in good
spirit, and being issued as a Government or
der, it will possibly bring Sambo back to his
contracts and to work.
The Tribune's Jackson (Miss.) correspon
dent says Governor Sharkey'* first order to his
I militia, is, that they shall search houses of all
freedmen for arms and ammunition. Tho search
has commenced. Any negro having ia his pes-<
session a shot gun is obliged to give it up.
The father of eleven ohildren, the exhorter
in tho church of the United Brethren, the hitherto
pious and upright Anthony, of Edomy Virginia,
hns elopod with a prim old maid, and gossip is
rifer! that locality.
^Sf The Irish Fenian excitement is increasing
in Canada, and great activity is manifested iu
military circles. Drilhf; inspections, enrolling
volunteers, ?tc. arogoingon. Many Irish soldiers
in the rogular regiments are deserting to the
States, and a large portion of tbo volunteers are
believed to be Fenians. Many Scotchmen aro
juicing the Order in Montreal.
'-Or- ?
Samuel S. Gardner, Assistant Snperintcu
deu: of Freedmen at Selma, has addressed a
letter to the Mayor of that city, stating that
he wilj not iu futuro provide lor pr remove
any cases of small pox among the negroes
occurring within the corpr ration limits. In
consequence of this, the Mayor has issued an
order directing all negroes to register their
names at tho Council Chamber, and pay the
city . tax. They are also trcquircd . to,, give
satisfactory evidence that'thev aro usefully
employed, or be considered as vagrants,
and be-made to suffer the penajtiea et the
