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?
