Hum phreys, - Governor elect,- J^ackson,- Missis sippi : Hie -troops will be withdrawn from Mississippi, when, in the opinion of the Government, peace and order and the civility has. been, restored and can be maintained without them. Every.step Will be taken, which they.are, to enforce strict ui.scii.llue and subordination td thc; civil authorities. There can be no other or greater assurance given than has here tofore been on the. part of the President or Government. ; There is no concession required on the part of the people of Mis sissippi- QT the .-Legislature-other than a loyal compliance with the laws and Con stitution of thc United States, and the adoption pf such* measures,' giving pro tection to all freedmen, or fiv.e men, in, person or property^ without, regard In ci?lor, as will entitle them lo resume ali their constit?U?nal relations in.thc Fede ral .Union. Tlie people of Mississippi may. l?e? well a'sured that there is no dis position to act arbitrarily on the part-of the Government, or to dictate what action should.be had ; but,. on the contrary, to simply and kiudly advise a policy that is believed wiil result in restoring all the relations which should exist between the States comprising the Federal Union. It is hoped that they will appreciate and' feel the suggestion herein made, for they are offered in that spirit which should pervade tho bosom of all those who de sire peace" and harmony, or a thorough restoration of tho Union. . There must be confidence between the Government and States while the Government confides in the people, the people must have faith in the Government, and this must be mu tual and reciprocated, oral! that has been done will be thrown away. ANDREW JOHNSON, President of the United States. The Colored Man's Convention. The proceedings of this body were con tinued yesterday. Much of tho day was occupied in discussing questions involving the welfare of the race, the best means by which it can be promoted, and the most important auxiliaries that can be employed to instruct the freedmen with reference to the new duties which his change of habit has rendered necessary. Various committees were appointed, for purposes of no interest to the general reader, except one styled a Central Com mitted, consisting of a representative from each District in thc State whose business it will bc to faithfully look after tho in terests of the race in South Carolina, re port progress in education and advance ment, and cure such evila as may become known to them. The Convention approved the following documents, and authorized their official presentation as directed, viz : a declara tion o;* the sentiments of the colored peo ?le; an address to Congress, to the State egislature, and to the people of the State. Five thousand copies of thc proceed ings were likewise ordered to be printed for distribution. The following report of thc Business Committee was read ny inc-ctetnnau, rt. C. DeLarge : Whereas, "Knowledge is power," and an educated and intelligent people will always assert their true position. -Resolved, That we will insist amoqg the colored people upon the establishment of good schools for the thorough educa tion of our children throughout tlie State, and that to this end we will contribute liberally, of our means, and will earnest ly and persistly urge forward every meas ure calculated to advance us to the rank and position of a wise, enlightened and Christian people. Resolved, That we solemnly urge the parents and guardians of the young and rising generation by the sad recollection of our ignorance and degradation in the past, and by. the bright inspiring hopes of the future, to see that schools are estab lished at once in every neighborhood, abd when so established, to see to it that every child of proper agc is kept in regular at tendanco upon the saine.-Charleston Carolinian, 25th. A CRUEL MOTU>ER.--We deeply regret to learn the death of General William B. Wade, of Columbus, Mississippi, in a rencontre with some Federal soldiers sta tioned at that point. The difficulty, as we learn, was started in Main street, near Jones' drug store. T. he parties were sep arated, General Wade going to Cady's livery stable. He was followed up, when an interchange of shots took place, which resulted in one of the Federals being shot through the neck and severely wopnded. General Wade received two balls and a wound from a knife in the hands of his assailants. They were again separated, and General Wade gave himself up, and was conveyed to the hospital, his wounds being considered serious, if not mortal While lying on his cot, unable to rise, with a guard around him, he wai ngain attacked, shot and bayonetted until death put an. end to tho scene. He received ?leven wounds. It was a terrible tragedy. General Wade was a member of the State Legislature, a General in the Con federate army, and was as brave a spirit as ever went forth to do battle. We sin cerely regret his death.-Jackson (Miss.) Clarion. The Herald's Washington dispatch says : Emigration companies are 'forming in many sections of thc North to furnish the South with thc labor and cr.pital ne cessary to produc? theiraccustomed crops, and to substantially benefit the emigrant. The United States Mutual Protection Company of this city, witto the First As sistant Postmaster General at its head, has already leased many fine plantations in Northern and Central Mississippi, and has many applications from Southern planters for tenants and laborers. Some five hundred families are preparing to. move South. jgsjT Gov. Brownlow has issued a proc lamation appointing a dav of thanksgiv ing and prayer. It is the duty of the people of Tennessee, says 'the Mobile ? Register, to pray, but politically theyhave 3 about as little to bc thankful for as any 1 peopl? on the continent They should do { their praying now and be thankful after the next general election. A NEGKO SOLBIER KiLLED.-^The Jackson Mississippian- ray>. : \Ve learn' that a negro soldier, belong ing^ the 50t? U. Si G.:T., was killed by ine of his .white officers, on Friday eve ning last. The pai-ticulars of the case, Els far as we have learned, arc as follows : A. detail of black-soldiers was on duty, near the graveyard, building hilts for win ter quarte^; one of them was ordered by the officer iu charge to perform a cer tain portion of the work, when he peremp torily refused to obey. Thc officer, be-j corning so enraged at the. refusal on the part of the negro to ohey his orders, im mediately seized a muskot from a guard near bj, and plunged the bayonet through the heart of the, negro, killing him in stantly. Ctr Seed wheat is selling af two dol lars per bushel in Nashville. A very large amount of wheat has been- planted in that State during the present autumn. A large yield is anticipated next harvest. fl^p* Two white men, named John M. Brown and Christopher C. Rease, having been convicted by a military commission of the murder of a negress named Nellie West, iu Talliaferro county, Georgia, were sentenced to bc hanged. The Pres ident has approved the sentence and or dered the execution to take place on the first 'Friday in January next. 2?gf? A New York paper has a rumor from Washington that the strongest pos sible grounds will be taken by our Gov ernment in the matter of our relations with Great Britain ; that mr claims will be backed up if necessary, by our whole military and naval force; and that an army of observation, numbering not less than 50,000 men, will be placed on the Canadian frontier before" the middle of next month. *233 BROAD STREET 233 -A-ugtista, G-a.
