It is no email compli? ment to this century, nay, to this present genera? tion, that a - civilization of four thousand years should feel impelled to .yield its traditional and dogged opposition to Ught from without, and treat with and. leam from parvenues, whose oldest dy? nasty'caa scarcely date back a thousand years. There will soon be railroads and telegraphs, elec? trotypes and sewing machines in the Flowery Land, and who knows but the next Universal Ex? hibition may be at Pekin. The Sew Orleans Financial Troubles-The Bank FaUurti ana Treasury Defalcation. NEW OBLEANS, May 23.-The failure of the New Orleans Bank of Commerce, Jacob Barker Presi? dent,- ia now considered a very bad one. Great dissatisfaction exists that no officia 1 statement of the affairs of the First National Bank has' been male, to the examiner. Mr. Kupx, who has now had the institution in charge twelve, days. The following is its condition: Liabilities, $1,170,000; a* ets, $1,200, 000; one-third of the assets are considered good. The ; liabilities will be increased $400.000, that being the amount of the certified checks of the bank "'which the treasury held, and which vero taken up by a draft of L. P. Maj A. Go., and Oakes Ames, but which were not- forwarded for collection. T. P. Mav & Co. represent May and A S. Mansfield, a private banking finn just about starting. The principal debtor? of the bank are: Gen. Beauregard, b.- note, $40,000, and over drafts amounting to $72,000; Gen. Dick Taylor. $37,500; Gen. Harry Hays, $20,000; Col. J. O. Nixon, $80,000; Gen. Wade Hampton, Cuthbert Bollitt, Walton, Deslorde, and others. These have generally endorsed for each other. Over $20,000 of the funds of the United States Court were in the bank. The d?falcation in the treasury is over a million. Whittaker's bondsmen aro Gen. F. S. Herron, U. S. Marshal, T. P. May, and A S. Mansfield, each for $60,000; Robert Watson and AT. Jones tor $25,000. Stat? Items. Tat past or JEFF GEE - Lieut. Hogue, of the 6th U. 8. Infantry, was here a day or two last weok on a mission of mercy, as he supposed, the object of which was to examine the record relative to'the trial and conviction of Jeff Gea. at our last Superior Court, of the murder of Darius Gandy. The con? vict has sentapetitio . to Gen. Sickles, setting forth that he was under the control of two Union pris? oners pilotting them to the Pee Dee River; that Gandy saw and pursued them, and that it was necessary to kill Gandy in order that the prisoners might make good theil es .-apo ; that he was arrested brought to a speedy trial without any opportunity of bringing into Court John Dennis, who was his principle and only witness, whose testimony would have proved his innocence, and that his ute was sworn away by parties for the sake of reward, and therefore prays the mercy of the Commanding General. We only give au outline of the petition from memory. If thc petition be cor? rect, and Jeff Gee was aiding prisoners to escape, and the killing of Mr. Gaudy was necessary to effect that purpose, doubtless, according to re? cognized laws, tte is entitled to mercy ; but the testimony of the witnesses was entirely dif? ferent from what Jeff states in his petition. Mr. dandy was killed in June following Uio surrender ._at a time when there was nj prisoners in this section of country, aud, even if there had been, it was not necessary for tin.in to take thu lifo of any one in order to make their escape. We are also informed that John Dennis, whom Jeff sets forth in his petit! m as a material witness, was in attendance during the term of court. We have not 'heard the conclusions arrived at by Lieut. B'gue; but unless military authority intercedes, Jeff Gee will be hanged ou the first Friday in juna in accordance with the sentence of the Court-Marton Star. RECONSTRUCTION. VOICES FROM THE SOUTH. WHAT OUR EXCHANGES SAY. VIRGINIA. [From the Eichmond Times of Monday.] ATTENTION, "FKEEDSIEN 1"--The fact may bo considered as demonstrated by recent official and I statistical publications, that there are in the neigh? borhood of one hundred and twenty thousand whiie suffragans in Virginia and more than seven? ty-five thousand black voters. Alter deducting the disfranchised whites and the demoralized renegades who are arrayed against their race and color, the white majority in Virginia will not fall short of thirty thousand votes, if our people do not fail to register and exercise tho right of suffrage. We direct the attention of the leading and controlling men of both p rties to this statement as pregnant with political interest and importance. It will teach the reflecting freed? men that those who have advised them to organ? ize a party hostile to their white employers, will doom them to the mortification of a perpetual and hopeless minority. It ii far more to their interests than it is to that of the whites, tnat they should unite with the>r employers in electing the bast men to office, re? gardless of the appeals of Radical demagogues, whatever may be the power and strength of the negro in some of :he States farther South, here the Caucasian occupies the natural and proper re? lation of th? dominant and superior race in num? bers as well as in intelligence. It is fortunate, however, for the freedmen, that the feelings of the dominant race are of the kindest charact er to their late slaves. They have no disposition to wield their power to the injury of the weaker race, but are sincerely and honestly desirous to mature a system of organic law calculated for the perfect and permanent protection of all their recently ac? quired rights. It is not at all probable that in lo? calities where the majority of white voters for members of the Convention will be largest, that any candidate will be elected who is not willing to give to the freedman all which is essential for tho protection of his rights of person and property. Unless the negroes shall yield to the advice of designing knaves, and organize a black man's party, there is no probability of the large white majority in Virginia being case as a unit against them. As there is no conflict of interest between the whites and the blacks, there should be no such po? litical organizations as those which mercenary and rascally itinerant hirelings are advocating. The emissaries of the Northern Radicals, for purely selfish purposes, are attempting to place the black minority in this State in a false position, and which will prove suicidal to their own interests. Wo are too familiar with the nature of the negro to at? tempt to win him by flattery. We wish to tell him in thJ plainest possible language that neither his ?mancip?t .on, nor the proscriptive legislation of Congress have made him stronger in Virginia than his present employer and late master. Keeping this undeniable fact before htm, we wish him also to understand that he can best promote his inter? ests, political and individual, by refusing tobe made the tool of the bad men who are seeking to array him in causeless hostility toward the white race in this State. RICHMOND NEGEOES.-A Richmond correspon? dent of the Boston Adoerliser says that the ne? groes of that city are somewhat demoralized. The bad influences, it observes, proceed from Wash? ington. It says: We have a good many pestilent fellows in the capital-i ello wa who seem to live for the purpose of creating strife and bad blood. Counter in ,u ences has neutralized mach of their mischief there. Several of them have been down here on so-called missionary: tours. Their visits have been pro? ductivo of nothing bat evil; so that, what with the raspings of the rebels on one side and the spur? ring of these wild-headed Radicals on the other, the poor negro his been brought to a bad estate.' The Bichmond Enquirer says of the Northern poli ti cal agitators who are now stamping the South: * We would earnestly advise oar pe opio to avoid these .disturbances, by staying away from the harangues of men who cannot talk civilly, and who stir np animosities between the races. Do not go to hear them. Keep away from these gatherings of ezoited blacks, infuriated by the appeals of malignants, and liable to commit trespasses that may run into blood.' Leave il to the military to .deal with the excesses which the incendiaries may instigate. Let Mr. Kelley and such as he, have the field wholly to themselves. They claim to be fr oe to'speak whatever they please. We are free not to Us ten unless we please. Stay away from thoso who come not to reason with as, not to per? suado" its,"not to win us by displays pf kind senti ments-t-bnfewha come to abuso us and villi fy us, and instigate attacks <.n na, and irritate us if pos? sible to disorder." [From the Siehmond Tima.] "W AUMIN o cr ; ms WOBK.-As Senator Wilson tr? ver s H'H that portion of the South where the dog star r?ges with uncommon fierceness, his radical? ism waxes exceedingly hot Although he has been subjected to no insults, and has had r spectral audiences, he has gradually thrown off all dis guis ev and j us tilled the strong language which we employed when denouncing the objects o his rn is siou. The correspondents of the Radical journals comment with surprise upon the vehement abuse and denunciation which, m his speech at Augusta, he heaped upon all who participated in the 1 . re bel? li on." He is described as having bullied the whites in the most offensive manner, threatening whole? sale confiscation if his orders were not obeyed, and if tba behests of the extreme Radicals w ero not canned out... They describe his tone and manner tn his Southern speeches as having assumed that of a schoolmaster addressing a crowd of refractory pupils, giving them to understand that their fu? ture behaviour would determine whether he would or would not bastinado them with his cobbler's strap. . . The rampant disciple of Crispin sneered in taunts of low-bred contempt at all the pure and good men whose virtues are revered by the Southern people, and b ru tall v tore open every half-healed wound which he thought would give pam to his white auditors. He utterly abandoned the conservative position which he occupied in this State of oppos? ing the formation of a Radical black man's party, and urged the negroes to disregard the advice of their employers, and to vote against them. His course tended obviously to bring about open an? tagonism between the two races, and, as a corres, pondent of the New York Times asserts, "held oat to thom as a direct incentive to support the Radi? cal candidates and none others, the probable dis? tribution among them of the confiscated estates of the white men who opposed the Radical party." daving 'stripped off his conservative disguises, Wilson's designs are now transparent, [From the Richmond Dispatch, May S3.] After quoting the platform laid down by the ne? groes of Alabama, the Dispatch says : It is against the social part of this platform that the whites enter t-ieir protest. They are willing that the "car or steamboat which is a paoli? eon? ve vance'' shall carry all tue negroes who pay for riding, but they wish the negroes to have separate apa tments, separate dining-tables, and separate sitting rooms. They do not wish to associate with them. That is the whole story. So as to sitting on junes. White men cannot sit on these with negroes without associating with them. Way, then, should the negroes try to force their unwilling company upon men who think they are disagreeable companions.' "Riding in cars, or sitting in jury-ooxes, or steamboat cab? ins," are not social privileges. We agree to this. But it is the negro that is try? ing to make these acts social privileges. He is not content to ride, bat he insists upon riding side by side with tue white man, thus actually claiming a " social privilege" which the latter ie not willing to concede to him. The negro may have as many steamboats, cars, churches, school? houses, theatres or hotels, as he desires. It is his privileg - to hayo them. No white man will ob? ject. Bat th.s does not satisfy Sambo, He wishes to force his children into the same BJI?O?I with white children, and his own person into tho same rooms and seats with white men. In fact, ho claims social equality ; for that is just the sum and substance of the Alabama platform. And he might as well learn now as at any future time that that is just what he can never have so long as white men shall be white men. To attempt any com? promise apon snob points is to concede everything that is claimed. NORTH CAROLIVA. [Fran the Charlotte Times, May 33.] "In conclusion, I would charge you, ns you prize the blessings of peace and harmony which we all shore in common in so large a measure in Albe? marle, to avoid all secret political associations and leagues, and to flee as for your life from the deadly aporoach of all social and political agita? tors and reformers, however specious may be the forms which they assume, and from whatever class, color or condition they come. We clip the above from a letter addressed by Mr. Wood, of Albemarle county, to the . colored people in response to a letter written by them to request him to become a candidate to represent them in the Convention. We have all along taken this view of the matter. Neither secret Leagues nor political organizations are necessary to protect the negro in his rights. The sense of justice, tho old feeling of respect and affection, early associa? tion, mutual interest, all combine to prompt the dominant raoe to protest him, if necessary, and frankly to yield a ready acquiescence io the now order of thingB. If all this fail, the strong arm of the Government ie around him, and though its agents may, in many cases, act so as to make money out of the operation, the "blessed Bureau'' will seo that no Keb does. Then we say with Mr. Wood, as you prize peace and harmony, avoid all secret political associations. These Leagues are gotten ap not for the benefit of the members, but for the profit of the leaders. Remember when you toke the oath to vote as A B tells you, that A B may have sold you for tho sil? ver. You are as capable of judging who ore your friends aa any leader, be he white or be ho black. "JPra.sstho bridge that curies you over safe," is a good old aphorism, and will pay well to act upon. Then, in these tunes of trickery and demoraliza? tion, take the advice of gentlemen whom you know, and who cannot possibly have any interest in deceiving you. In that way peace will be pre? served, good feeling prevail, and the colored race receive that assistance and encouragement which ,\ i ll lead to its elevation and development. GEORGIA. [From On Macon Journal and Mtsttngtr.] There should be but two parties in the South now-one in favor of such vigilant action as to se secure a State government of Georgians-and the other opposed to inaction npon the same prin? ciple. The Daily Opinion, Atlanta, after reviewing t action of tho Supreme Court on tho petitions Georgia and Mississippi, and the effect upon sn action upon the quo -. tion of reconstruction, says Occupying this stand point, the all-importa question is- How can we better our present po tion, and what is the quickest mode we can ado to accomplish that result ? We fear the apathy aroused by the original "di nity" men, who wero disposed to listen to Go Jenkin*' predictions, will end in sullen action < the part of many. Of such disposition we alreai hear rumors. It is reported from one of our neig boring counties, by a correspondent, that while i will register who can do so, a majority will vo "No Convention;" and a friend from another cou ty reports that, to defeat a convention, many ha' determined not to register. We submit that neither the "dignity" policy i voting "No Convention," nor the stubborn polk of not registering will avail anything to stop th ball of reconstruction. It was Bet in motion t the S. S. S. Bill, and at every revolution has gatl ered power, until just now we, as a people, ai powerless to stop its progress. We are left witl out choice, beyond that of acquiescence, If whit men do not put our ship of State upon tho rigi track, black men will do it to suit themselves. ] tbe whites will nob assist in starting the nob] craft, the blacks will do it unaided ? The fact c our return to the Union is ioovitable; tho on! quostion is, who is to guide us ? Will it b sensible, therefore, for those who are eligible t participate in tho work of restoration, and ar accustomed to political action, to remain at ut bornly passant, and permit an unpracticed polit: cal element to manage the helm, unaided by th counsels of experience? We think not, and' nrg that euch shall not be the case. W? trust ou readers will look upon this matter as we do. The people of tho State will not be powerlesE unloss they elect to be so. While stubbornness c action will not ultimately change the result, it wi] serve to continue all our present unusual disabili ties and liabilities. Which course is the wisest This is the question to be considered, and decide practically. "Masterly inactivity" will bo as fate as masterly opposition could possibly be. Bot! should be avoidod 1 ?From the Augusta Constitutionalist, May 23.J A BUTTON-HOLE Lo WEB.-From the New Era' account of Kelley's speech at Atlanta, wo shout say th t his insolence- had shared the fate of Bol Acres' courage, and oozed out of the palms of hi hands. The Mobile iright exposed the flimsines of his mock heroics, and taught him the value c discretion. Ile WSB not only scared out of his hat but ont of his scalp, JO tho astonishment c even-body, instead entrenching himself behind th l?th'lnfantrv sud the United States army, am from those invincible fortresses thundering anat-hc ma aghast (he South and its people, he roared a gently as a Bucking dove, ana tenderly insinuate' that ihe North was rioh and educate 1 while th South was poor and ignorant. He wished to knot why this state of affairs existed, and, in answer re ferred tho whole question to tho bxrbarism o slavery. The South is poor, God knows : she ma be ignorant, but ii the North can show a larger bai ance sheet and a better system of tuition. Mr. Kel ley ? hould learn that his friend Gerritt Smith gav a sounder reply when declaring that in the mat ter of slavery the South owned the cow but th North stripped the teats. ID other woran, th. money that tue South made she was robbed of b; her yankee brethren, and the little remainini stolon by Sherman's bummers and Sheridan's ban burners. Any one who chooaos to examine tb statistics of Southern wealth and Northen, pron s can readily account for the lack of material enter prise in an agricultural region, and its supremac; among those who run the Government machini to suit themselves. Sinco tho war, Mr. Kelley', party has ker. t the South poor and illiterate. Whei ne taunts us with misfortunes brought upon us b; himself and his party, it is at best gratuitous an! mean. We understand that Mr. Kelley refrained fron speaking in this city because of an intimatioi from General Pope that there had been controversy enough in his line. If this is true, Gen. Pope de* serves the thanks of the people iu his military dis trie t, and rises correspondingly in popular cs ti ma tion. REQ ISTHA TION ct GEORG IA AND ALABAMA.-OBDEI or GEN. POPE.-ATLANTA, May 24.-An importan! General Order on Registration has just been issuec by Gen. Pope. The following are the sahen points: The States of Georgia and Alabama will be di? triotod, and a freedman placed on every Board o; Registration. Registers are to take tho iron-clac oath, and to explain to all persons their politiza rights and privileges. The right to register anc vote will. be guaranteed by the military anthon* tios. Vi j lent threats or any oppressive means tc prevent perBons from registering or voting will be followed by immediate arrest and trial by military commission, _ No contract of laborers "deprivion them of wages for any longer time than actually consumed in registering or voting is permitted tc be enforced, under penalty of arrest and tnal. Ir cases of disturbance at places of registration oi voting, civil authorities will be called on tor pro? tection, and in their def.ult, the military. Civil officers refusing to protect registers or voters will bo arrested and tried by a military commission. FLORIDA. Gov. MARVIN'S ADDRESS.-Governor Marvin ie ont, in the Floridian, in an "Address to the People of Florida," which reflects credit upon the head and heart of the able writer. We deeply regret t .iat our abridged columns den v us the pleasure ol "u bbs hin g tb? document in foll. The best wc can do, under the circumstances, is to publish a few extracte from it. After at i ting that he does not behove the rebel prayed for by Mississippi and Georgia will be granted by the Supreme Court : or if granted, thal their decision would be obeyed by Congress, out Senator arnves at this oonolauion ; "Ino truth, in my judgment is, that we are io the midst of a r?volu jon which cannot be arrested by the deci? sion of any court, and which will, in all probabil? ity, roil on in spite of anything we can do in Flori? da, until it arrives at its ultimate goal, which t present appears to be the ratification of the pro? posed Amendment to tho Cons tit nt hn o. the united States, and the vindication of tho claim ol Congress, as against tho Executive, to direct and supervise the process of reconstruction." He is in favor of holding a Convention, and ol accepting, frankly, the terms of reconstruction as imposed Dy the Sherman Military BUL He urges that "full, ample and complete protec? tion by the law aud Courts should be given to the freedmen, if it bas not already been done, with as little cost to them as possible, and that they should not be overburdened with taxes, but encouraged to be industrious, to accumulate property, io edu? cate their children, aud to elevate themselves in the scale of civilization, by evory just and proper means in their power. Let them have a fair, equal and even chance in the race of life is. I know, the sentiment of the conscientious, intelli? gent and thinking men of the State. Let this sen? timent be everywhere expressed by the whites in an open, frank aud generous manner, and I think we need not apprehend a collision of the two races at the polls. The freedmen will soon learn, ij they have not already learned, that in tho very na? ture of things they must have the encour igcment, the sup. ort, and the friendship of the whites wi tu whom they aro living. Now that the war is over, and their status is fixed, they will easily under? stand that one friend on the spot is worth a hun? dred two thousand miles off." ALABAMA. [From the Mobile Tima. May 19.] The following we copy to show the reliability oi Northern reporta of Southern events : INFAMOUS SLANDERS.-There was on our right os the night of the panic at the Kelley's meeting, an individual represented to us as a special reporter for the New York Herald. As far as we can re? member him, ho was in the prime of manhood, above the middle size, stout and square built. When the panic commenced, and a movement was made by the crowd to part in the centre, this individual, in his terror aud fear, fell on his belly and sneaked under the speaker's table, there dis Euti np the small protecting space with the speaker imsolf and certain other prominent officers of the meeting. How and when that individual crawled out on his knees and bauds, we cannot tell, as other equally amusing scenes were then engaging our attention, but as that individual was withni touch of us, we can affirm that he tells a willful falsehood when he Bays ho say anything but the foot of tho taole nu? der wbio.i he was biding. - And yet, tbat individual, who bad boen treated by the Mobile pross with all possible courtesy, to whom Southern editors had opened their sanctum; that individu 1, devoid of the least partido of manhood, did not blush when recovering irom his fears, to send the following infamous slanders as the report ol' tho adair, as if ho had had the cour? age to stund up and look at it. From the Mobile Times, May 21.] The following editorial articlo wo find in (he Times, prefacing tho order of General SWAINE es? tablishing martial law in Mobile : O KD EH AT LAST.-We greet with thankfulness tho order hereaftei published, and which is at last the inauguration of the reign of Peace. We have for mouths past said, that when revo? lutions have reached the military period, they are on the eve of subsiding into the normal condition of society, and we have sincerely prayed for the prompt accomplishment of those immutable rules. The order just issued by Col. Shepherd, Post Commander, after due consultation' with his superior officer, will be greeted by our citizens with joy as being the "commencement of tho end" of our civil troubles. It matters little, for tho present, how much of freedom wo may, or may not e..joy-society is at least free from Violence; lite is secure, property is safe, and it is a groat-a giant step towards peace and prosperity. We wcio not deceived in our expectations of Gen. Swayno. Ho has dealt with the great ques? tion before him in a fab*, liberal und noble spiri.; he lias not sought to exhumo a past full of ran? cors, he has not listened to the poisonous advices ol agitators on either side; but, like a statesman and a soldier, he has sternly seized on the future and provided for all poss bia emergencies. The result of his investgations clearly proves that the commander and officers of the garrison have not been biased in their report, and that they nave represented the slate ot' public feeling with the fairness, iruth and independence of gentlemen as web as soldiers. [From the Montgomuy Advertiser, May 22.] ATTENDING POUTIOAL MEETINGS.-If the right to vote ever filled the pocket or thc stomach of a voter, tbe pnvilege was greatly abused. In nine? ty-nine cases out of a hundred such is not the i fact, and those who in the effort to make use of ? this great right are neglecting their business, do a positive injury to themselves and tho community at large. Ono platJter in this county told us yea* terday that all his laborera left home, twenty-two milos* fro a the city, on Thursday last, and re? mained in town until after the speaking on Saturday. Tho time they lost will of course be dedu'etod from their wages, and we venture they lost much moro by coming off to attend league and political meetings than they will ever gain. This evil is generally complaiue i of, and more particularly do we find it spoken of in our North Carolina ex .nangee, where the politi? cal agitators have been continually getting up pub? lic meetings. The Henderson Index estimates that tho county of Granville lost fully $5000 in labor by the lato gathering of freedmen at a meoting in that town. Some 3000 were in attendance, nearly all of whom lost two days from their work. "We do not object to their boing fully informed on the sub? ject of their rights, but we do in all sincerity say that the best thing tho black man can do is tb work and strive to mako something for his wife and children. If evil white men tell you the government will provide for vou at the expense of your white neighbors, and thus toll you off from your labor, you are listening to evil counsellors, who only wish t? use vou for thc r oaru political advancement. If you nave a good place with some money in your | pocket, corn in tho crib, and meat in the smoke bouse, you will find them bettor friends to you than all the political speakers from Maine to Cali? fornia. You will n oh be in this desirable fix if you continually neglect your business, for tho* more you lose from your work the less money you'll have at the end of the vear. In these hard times, no laboring man can afford to loso one day in each week, and it is wrong for any one to induce him to io so. Let political meetings alone, is our advice to the blocks, and we believe the whites, too could get along very well by staying away from thom. MISSISSIPPI. [From the Jackson, [Miss.) Clarion. May 9.] The writer bas had recent opportunity of inter? changing views with many ioteuigeut and leading citizens of Eastern and Southern Mississippi, and is gratified to be able to state with entire confi? dence that the groan Conservative Reconstruction Porty is rapidly absorbing every other element. In some of the counties it will meet with but little if any organized opposition. Multitudes who were, .n first impulse, disinclined to take part in the re? construction movement inaugurated by Congress, with minds inflamed by a sense of ita severities, and with doubts of the good faith of the Govern? ment, have under tho salutary influence of the so? ber, second thought), fully determined to accept tho situation as they find it, and to enroll them? selves and vote for a Con ve ition, and for good and true men, plodged to reorganizo the State Govern? ment, preparatory to admission into the Union. In some localities, it is to be regretted that a scheme to onay the colored voters, as a class, in a position of antagonism to the whites, is being in? dustriously prosecuted, but we trust that it will be successfully counteracted by the vigilance and pi operly directed efforts of intelligent and patriotic people, who will look to the prosperity of all and the good of the entire country. In every com? munity there are discerning blacks, who have de? tected the designs of these iniquitous plotters, and are warning the voters of color against them. Tho plans of the disorganizes, who are for the most part emissahoa from other regions, have been greatly aided by the counsels of the im? practicables at home, who at first advised the suicidal pol cy of "masterly inactivy," but now advise that the people register their names and vote the anti-Convention ticket. It will be an easy task, however, for our conservative friends to con? vince the now voters that there is a medium ground which they may occupy between the Im? practicables on the one hand and Radicals on tue other. It is the policy of prompt oompliano?, with the requisitions of "he Government as embodied in the reconstruction measures. We do not read t .e signs of public feeling amiss, when we assert that it will prevail by an unprecedented majority in the corning elections. Tho Columbus, Miss., Index, of a lato date, says: Accounts which we have reeeived from different portions of the St tte, assure us that the people generally will register and that there is ground to hope that if the question of holding a convention is fairly submitted, will be voted down. Just now our people ore ia doubt as to what course to pur? sue. They are beginning, however, tc understand the questions to be decided, and by next Septem? ber thoy will be fully awakened to the necessity of making a stand in dc.euee of tho principles of the Constitution. The tide seems to be turning in favor of the Democratic party at the North, and by September we will oe enabled to judge with some degree of accuracy, whether there is anything to hope from tba. quarter. A SxMstBXiE Oration.-Tho editor of the Aber? deen, Mississippi, Kram in er, in alluding to the nu? merous pohtical meetings being held in th. South, says we are opposed to tnose public gatherings at the present tune. "We aro opposed to thom be causo we think that the nour is for earuost t nought and nut for debate; the hour is for stuay and ai g us -eyed scrutiny cf tho political horizon, and not for windy and excited harangues. We are opposed to them because starvation stares our people in tho face; because there is no corn in our cribs; because coin ia ono dodor and ten cents a b usuel in St. Louis, the Egypt of the land, and is st.U advancing, ai d because the season hos thus far beou unpropitious, and thought and labor should not be di vc ted from the fields. We ore op? posed to them, because we behove that at the present moment the most perfect amity exists among all classes of our citizens, and will exist un? til crimination and recrimination from the rostrum divides them, Lot dignity prevail. No matter what a man's views or politics may be or may have been, t here can be no necessity for his crawling on his belly and eating dirt; nothing can be gained by it. Baseness wields no influence, but manliness moves the mob and leavens tue masB. If you have con? cessions to make, make them gracefully; admit the necessity, yield io it if you wal, but do not show your contempt for God's laws and the intelligence of those who know you, by professing love for the task necessity assigns you. THU CROPi. From all directions the reports continue encoura? ging with reference to tho wheat crop. In the South the prospect appears very good for a bettor wheat crop than we have had for ten years. Of course the breadth of land in wheat is not so great as before the war, yet tho yield will, if no injury is sustained by the crop bet?re harvest, bo vory large. The season has thus far, however, boen unusu? ally cold ana backward for other crops. Corn is muoh rotaidod. In portions of thc western part of the State, owing to tho col du os s and dampness of the ground, tho corn that was planted nos rotted, and the work of replanting has beou neces? sary. The season for making corn ia short there, and tho crop that is not forward is always in poril from the early rrosts of fall. Tho tarin Grs in that region are therefore somewhat uneasy; but it is a loug timo in advance to bc croaking. A vory genial Bummer may hurry up the growing crop so aa to make up tho timo lost by tho backward Spring. [JZicAmond Dispatch, of Monday. Tax Caora.-Wo receive encouraging informa? tion concerning the craps from nearly all quarters of tho State. The corn is most promising; the cotton is backward tor the timo or year, but not for tho season. Besides, tho season in this State is more than long enough fully to mature cotton, which shall be LOW planted. Tho weather is as good as can Le, and favorable to planting. It ia still in good time lor a month to come, if the rains continue, to plant sorghum. Tho season con? tinues most favorable for Betting out pMutuo slips. Houston {Texas) leleqraph. THE OBOPB.-Our Western exchanges are unani? mous in Baying that there never was better prom? ise ol crops than this season so far presents. The accounts from the Southern States oro al? most as encouraging. Tho harvesting of wheat is now progressing in tho upper portions of Georgia, Alabama and in potts of Tennessee. The corn, though backward, is healthy and vigorous, and cotton is generaJy looking well. This is truly gratifying intelligence, ae we Bee that in some jf the Northern marketa wheat ia quoted at SS to $3 10, and it is stated that a grow? ing crop in North Carolina has Bold as high as $3 CO por bushel. These prices obviously cannot long be maintained, and with tho advent of the new crop of wheat we sincerely trust much of the terrible suffering in our famine stricken land will be spoedily alleviated, [Havannah News and Herald. BLAHEL?, EARLY CO., GA., May 13,1867. MESSES. ORME <fc Sou: Supposing that you would like to know something of our crop prospects, I will say to you we have had a cold, wet, backward spring; labor has boen scarco, and tho planting not so large as last year; wc have a little more corn planted han we had last year: the corn is small aud backward for tho time, but from what I see and hear of it, at the prosont, it promise* well. I suppose wo havo about ono-ualf enough, if it yields well, to mako a plentiful Bupply for the country. The cotton, as usual, is much complained of, the plant small, bad stands, &c. But the worst is yet to be told. Some of na have a little com, many of us nono; if we flud something to give our mules to-day, we do not know how we shall feed them to? morrow. I fear every day to hear of surrendors all over the country. We, in thia county, have had none yet that I have heard of. The moat houaes aro as badly supplied as the cribs-but little to eat for man or beast, and no money to buv it with, and atill they will not plant corn, J. B. R. LAURENS COUNTY, GA, May 14,18G7. MESSES. EDITORS : Crops in thia and" Wilkinson county arc at present rather encouraging. The cold wind and rain made cotton look lhcless for a fow days, but the present warm weather has greatlv revived it. A pretty largo crop has been plante'd and tho stand is generally good. Small grain is fair, but in limited quantity. Laborers aro generally working well, but it re? quire i close attention to keep them up to he scratch. They are as yet entirely undisturbed with politics. If they get excited on this subject, I fear our crops will suffer much, for you know that one idea at a time is os muoh as they con bear. Provisions are very scarce, and it will be a hard run lo got through oven with considerable suffer? ing. J. I. C. [MSledgeville Recorder. THE WEATHER-CROPS IN SUMTER COUNTY.-For several days past we have been favored iu this sec? tion with light rains and cloudy, warm weather, whioh have been of great advantage to the grow? ing crops. The gardens seusiby improved, and the crops of cotton and rom aro very promising. The oats and wheat crop will soon be ready for the reaper, and the prospects ahead are reasonably good.
