TROUBLE. Information was received' yesterday from the Middlet'On planters on the Ogoechee, that the negro Union League was still cansing trouble there. The complaint wvas lodged with Col. Maurice Maloney who decid-d to take mesures to put a stop to tie disorderly proceed imgs. It appears that Mr. M iddloton, whose plantationi is on the ir, .n .county side, has. been working the Ilhot plantation. in Chatham county. He brought, over hands from Bryan county to do his work, which ]icensed the negroes in the neighborhood, and these imported freedmen have been threatened and compelled to leave. Tihe arrost of Ct hibert, the ringleader of the party, last week, has produced no good results, and the Bryan county negroes fear for their lives. The teachings of the black dama gogue, Bradley, are producing their le. gitimato results. Tihe Leagiue qunotes Bradley as its authority, and refuses to allow any negroz.s to work in the neighborhood, save those who belong there. As the result of this trouble might be, violence and bloodshed Captain Cooks witlh a detachment. of so!dfers, left for the Ogeclcee last evening, to put ;, stop to the dilienity, and to let the "Leagne" know that in assuming to coitrol the labor it is abrogating unto itself rights "which no white man is bound to respect," and that these things nust end. Arrests will be made if nee. essary, and all needful measures institu. red to restore order and vindicate the rights of tile plani:(r.-Stanvah Re pubbccn. A- Awi.

Walteor H1. Stevens.' lHe was a native of Now York, graduated at West, Point in 1849, and re. mnaladd in the United States Army, attachu od to engineers, unt il the war broke out. I-fe hadl married a- daughter of the late Valery Hlobert, of Iberville, in this Stato, and espoused the caniso of his adeptedi State. *During the w' he' was attacd to Gen.

Hie lfaves , .widow, and two child en, N'a'gcOlevge,'iay#e. pers that a great many persons are emigrat. ing from portions of that sectron on account of. the disgust which they feel at. the hard antd oppressivo governantI iposed on them, and the general coadition of' things throughout their rospective communities. If matters are so wretchedly bad that they cannot possibly live where they have hith orto passed their lives, if the curse of abso luto starvation is upon theim and their faini lies, of course they are right. to wuake their escape from an intolerable situation ; but we do hope, for their own sake and thg country's, that they will remain where they are, If it is possible. Whatever of strength and influence they possess is sorely needed in the South, and the time may not be far oil when it will be needed yet more sorely. Let then, it' they call, stand to their critical posts in the midst of all the evils that are upon them and all the perils, that, threaten them. We do not believe that there is as yet a necessity for their suirrend ring up their beautiful and glorious regioni to ne groes and worse than negroes. Dark signs undoubtedly IllI the Southern air, but there is yet hope for that unhappy seotion. Nay, there is almost a certainty that time and perhaps a short time may bring relief. Tile lato vast politioal revolu tions hol out brilliant promises of a future intinitel' better than tile present.. Let our Southern friends await that future in the vigorous anl brave dischargo of all their daties. No maier what the ludiels of tIho country may do or attempt, the Federal Government in all its departments. is des. iled to pa5s into the hands of tile Consor. vatives, and. when that inevitablo destiny shall be fulfilled, the evil work done by tle Rtadical party itn the South will be undone it. all hazards so far as it. can be done. Of course no legislation, however wise and energetic, will at. once avail to repair the wide spread ritin and desolation, but every ling will yet be placed upon a solid basis of statesmanship, antid (hen prosperity. ni.. versal prosperity, will come in its own good time. Nothing in the future is m->re certain and more cheering than this.

SAn DArun 01 AN 1turOn.--Mr. John W. Keyes, for'meily editor of the Circlesville (Ohio) Democrat, died in the insane asylum at Columbus on the 25th till. The Crises, of the latter city, thus chronicles tle sad event : Mr. Keyes was the editor of an indepen dent, newspaper, which, during the late war detended libeirty wilth fearless manhood. For this lhe was dragged off' to prison andl treate'd so brutally that reason tottered from her throne, and lhe became a raving maniac.

A day or two since, in one of the trains for Boston. a quiet indhividual, sitting by the stove iln one of the passenger cars, drew forth a bottle and comentced having his hands with the contents. The day was very cold, and the neighborhood ot the stove was crowvded. One old man watched tihe bottleholder's operations with great In. terest, and finally asked him what, kind of stuff lhe was using. "-Glycerine," replied the quiet man. "Glycerine !--tuhunder!I" and the old moan rushed for the (leer. Others caught up the word, and they all rushed into the adjoining oars, leaving our glyeerine friend to soothe his chapped hands. The Now York IJerald has (discovered that negroes are not, eligible to Congress. They did not become citizens, until the Issuing of the emancipation proolamatlon in Sep tember 1862. No one is eligible to the United States H'ose of Representatives un til lie has been a citizen seven years, or to thte United States Senate until hue lies been a citizen ninac years.. The negroes have onlly ben oitizens five years, and the 11cr aid Infers that none can go to Congress before 1869.

A BOL' OUTrAGE.-SOeIC eight freedmen, near Gadsden, on Friday last, boldly took possession of a wag on and four mules, and two mules, with two bales of cotton, belonging to Mr. Mosely, and took the property forcibly away. Five of the freedmen were arrested by the police, and a warrant was issuod yesterday morning, for the arrest of all the parties, by Magistrate Johnson. The vigilance of Mr. Radcliffe, Chief of Police, caused the arrest of two others of the gang of robbers, in this city, yesterday, and the remaining one of the party will probably be captured. This is one of the boldest and most flagrant outrages yet perpetrated in this District. INCITING rit Naanoxs.-A gentle. man in this city has received a letter from a friend in Liberty county, in which a passage occurs informing the recipient. that the negro member of the Atlanta Convention has sent word to the negro laborers in his district to "hold their places until the first of January, when lie will give them further orders." Any comment on such an order is unnec'ssary. This course, followed to anv length of time, must and will inevitably lead to a rupture.--Savan. v ah News : ikra ld.
