Probable
War.—The
The Lab,ox Question.
We know no question of such inter
est tothe lately reconstructed States,
as the one which heads this article. At
'this time, there are in middle and
Southern Georgia, thousands of acres
of land in eyery county, that are grow
ing up, having been 'turned out, in
consequence oT the Inability of the
owner to obtain tli,e labor necessary for
their cultivation. Before the ltjje war,
these lands were in a high s'tgt.s of cul
tivation. They were owned ; by men
who owned and' directed the labpr re
quired. And whatever may pe said
against slavery, as a jnpraJ institution,
the South possessed as well regulated
and‘eScient labor as could be found
in any country. But “old tl ings are
passed away,” and Southern slavery
the offspring New England Puritanism
‘is extinct—dead beyond hope of re
suscitation. Ignoring all the teachings
of his past history, Northern Philan
thropy saw in the emancipated Afri
can, a better class of operatives. “The
man, the Brother,” galvanized into new
life, was to rise above his position in
the scale of c'reatioq ; na'urally indo
lent, thptightl^§, improvident, sensual
and sayage—with his new found free
dom he was th change his nature and
become an industrious, honest, provi
dent, careful, highly moral member of
society.

Trained to labor from his boyhood,
it.is not surprising, that many of the
fr^edmen are still- willing to work, but
ills certainly true that a large class ol
them, will riot vyork:, if they ayoid

What Southern man does not see plear-
lv that bad as they are, the emancipa
ted adults, are by far the best opera
tives we shall ever have from that race.
\yho does not see clearly that reared
in idleness without p^rpntal guidance,
or proper' moral influences, the nex 1
generation, will ignore labor entirely,
and that if-we would haye labor, il
our lands are to be occupied, our fields

has tried the ‘Man and Brother,’ and pas

of the \yor!di. While we arejno admirer
of Jno. Chinaman, we need but to look
at Africa and China, to eonypare theii
civilizatipns, tp see the immeasurable
superiority of the Chinese over any ol
the African races. Still as the Chinese
are denied naturalization by late con
gressional legislation, and could not
therefore become citizens, we must
look to Europe, to supply our lack of
labor. These 'men are of our own race,
find of our blootl, educated, ( moral, in
dustrious, traippd; t,o labor—th e y are
the very men we wajjt. It is true as
suggested by Col. Mppes that the Eu

find our climate oppressive during the

South the sooner he will be acelimatcd.
Thousands of men from all parts ol
Europe have homes in the South, and
they are, many of them, among our
best citizens. .
• We are glad to see that a German
fmrnigrant aid Association has been or
ganized in Savannah, Col. A. P. Wel

doubt not that the organization will aid
in attracting to Georgia thousands of
its countrymen. They will be wel
come. To the countrymen of Luther,
Goethe, Humboldt, Liebig, Handel
and Mozart we hold out qqr hpnds
and bad *them welcome.
European
selection of a German Prince for Kiiig
of Spain it would seem is regarded as
cause of war'.between France and Prus
sia. Both nations are' thoroughly or
ganized and equipped. A war between
those two great powers, could hardly
be waged without involving other con
tinental powers and probably Great
Britain.
A European war would be terrible
upon us at the South, it would bring
down the price of cotton far below ‘the;
cost of production, while corn, wheat,
and bacon would at once go up to star
vation prices. What we are to do, how
we are to live in the event of a war—
we cannot exactly see. No cpfri, no
wheat, no bacon anu not a single pa-
chine in operation to clean cotton sppd.

threatened evil. Since writing f}ie

Change of Base.—The above had
scarce been set when the Macon Tele
graph of Saturday brought us the news
of a declaration of war against Prussia
by France. This we hud feared, because
the interruption of peace in Europe, if
continue^ for three months, is ft death
blow fp Southern prpsperity. We will
not attempt tP speculate upon the prob
abilities of the growing cotton crop if
this war continues. A rise in bread
stuffs is inevitable, and nothing but
Providential interference can save the
South from wide spread suffering, if not
from absolute Bankruptcy and ruin.

We congratulate the *3fote of Georgia

A npwly elected Legislature this fell

and the intelligence and moral worth of
the State—and put a stop to the wide

which curses the country.
Official responsibility will then be
something more than mere words, and

The following extract from a letter
of *the Hon. Jesse Wood, formerly of

You desiretoknow particularly what
I think about the Chinese as servants.
They understand how t > make cottou,
or can be taught, as cotton is a 1* ading
product in their own country. You
have seen the Nankin cotton, which is
theirs. They learn everything so easy
you will be astonished. They have
not only got more sense than negroes,
but more than many while folks. They
are very docile and tractable, because
they love money, and will do anything
for the money. Of course they will
have to learn our language, which they
will soon do. When you show them
bow lo do anything once, they will do
itexactly that wav ever after that. They
are remarkably nice about everything
—differ DHally from the-negro. Fur
house seryants I would not, give one of
them for two negroes. I think the
trouble about their wori ing on South
ern plantations wou'J be that they
know nothing whatever about *mana-
ging a horse or mule. I have never
seen one of them have anything to do
with either. As to all other work of
the farm they d° d bettor than the ne
gro ; but the ploughing I have no idea
they could be trusted with at all. They
are capital with the axe, and rival the
Irish with the spade.
As :o wages, &c, hey can be*got in
anv number and in China ; but you
would haye to pay their way out, apd
afterward deduct this from their wages
gradually. I suppose you could ri"t
get liiem for less than twelve dollars
a month yr,d feed tin in. \. d at that
thev are cheap t than negroes, because
you do nut have in fie-i a whole f.mrly
to get the sci vices of one, ami tlie-ir
labor will be mure* reliable than the
negro for such as they do. They will
pretty much live on ;ie-e and fl-“, and

You will not find as muyu d.facility as
you imagine, in providing for them.

They look very much hke yellow ne

The State Road-Its Future?.
The question of the sale of tfie Wes
tern and Atlantic Railway, commpnly
known rs the State Road, has from
time to time been brought before the
people. But heretofore it lias not met
with much encouragement. There were
many able minds who held it to b.e con
trary to the principles of our Govern
ment, for the State to own and run rail
ways or other industrial establishments,
whether they proved profitable or not,
as in every instance where it should do
so, corruption would grow and fester.
A majority, however, of our people
have firmly opposed the sale of this
magnificent property ; some because its
net earnings have in the past almost
paid the expenses of the State govern
merit; others of the up country, frctm
apprehension that it might get into thp
hands of men who would seek to make
the road pay the utterpifist dollar of
profit it could tp ihp iniqry of the peo
ple and country along the line. These
reasons have fittfierto been all potent,
but we believe the repent mismanage
ment, not to say rotten corruption of
this Splendid property, whereby its
earnings have been used to injure thp
people who own it, have convinced many
that it would be to the best interest of here, and one dues ail our wasl tog and
thp Stote for thp road to be sold, if it
can be at it fair valuation, under prop
er checks and guards.
Rumors have been, and arc rife now,
of «’ings formed to get possession of this
property, and that, too, without a fair
and open competition. And fears are
ironing. In a company fur a neighbor
hood, say 200 men ( hey aie nearly all
men), theic would probably be two or
linen who could speak E glish and
transact business for all.
Taking in all, some can g>-t along

entertained by m an y that these rings j If any one will be hind and patien
will succeed, through corruption, in car
rying opt their aims, unless the people
are aroused and popular indignation
brought to bear on the subject.
If there has been a proposition, from
any person or party, made to any mem
ber of the State government for the
purchase of the propert} 7 , it should be
made public ; and if there should be a
disposition on the part of the present
legislators of our State to favor the sale
of tb,e road, they should make it known
by a j,oin$ resolution, inviting, 1st, pro
posals for its purchase ; and, 2d, pro
posals for leasing for a term of ten or
twenty years, reserving the right to re
ject all bids.
Wc believe the road will certainly be
sold, sooner or later, and, if we are cor
rect, we hope that when sold it will fall
into the hands of our own people ; and
without having other interest in the
question than that of a citizen, seeking
the public good, wc will express the fur
ther wish and hope that it may be pur
chased by the Georgia Railroad Com
pany. '1 he reasons why, in our opin
ion, it would be to the best interest of
our State that the Georgia Railroad
Company should own the road, when
ever the State parts with the control of
it, are many and obvious. Among them
we will only name those of economy
and of still rcapiug She. fruits of the
enterprise. The two roads connected
would make a magnificent line from
Chattanooga to Augusta under the
management of one set of officers in
stead of two; and as the entire stock
of the Georgia Railroad Company is
owned within the State, the earnings of
the combined line would remain with
in our borders to enrich and build up
our own people instead of flowing into
the pockets of men at the Nort.lj.—

In so far as East Tennessee is con

This we think a safe estimate. Leav

for domestic use. There would be the
enormous surplus of 3,000,000 bushels
for sale—more wheat perhaps, than has
been raised in this section for the last
twenty years. Favorable reports reach
us from Middle Tennessee, which in

ments touching the statement that Mr.
H. I. Kimball was the proprietor or
one of the proprietors cf this paper.
We are not aware that there is any
thing censurable in it even if the facts
were as stated, bu.t we deem it an act
of justice to Mr. Kimball to state th 7
fact that he is not, and has never been!
one of the proprietors of tjhis paper.
His name appears as guarantor tor the
faithful performance of the agreemeu s
made by the purchaser at thq time the'
paper was sold by Dr. Bard, and ai all
those agreements Wave already been
paid and performed, and *re therefore
cancelled,.’Mr. Kimball’s liability, even
as a guarantor, no longer exists in con
nection with the Era.
Our State exchanges will do an act
of justice by publishing this statement.
Louis Napoleon; Emperor of the
Frfench, is now, ' perhaps, the only
reigning sovereign in Euope, y/Ho does
not claim bis throne upon the right of
hereditary 'succession. In his veins
flow§ no blood which, far back in tne
night of the middle ages, claimed ori
gin from royalty.
His dynasty belongs to that class of
sovereigns denominated, by those
claiming power under the fiction of di
vine right, illegitimists. The legiti
mists naturally nre jealous of his pow
er, and he, on the other hand, is jeal
ous of theirs.
Hence, he is supposed to look with
jealousy upon an attempt to put upon
the throne of Spain a Prince of the
blood royal of any of the ancient dy
nasties, whose members regard him as
an interloper, an intruder among the
sovereigns of Europe.
Having, as t umor says, intimated a
preterence that the Prince of Austria,
son of Quteu Isabella, who was driven
from the ihrone of Spain, and at his
suggestion lately abdtcr.ie!, should
succeed his mother, it is presumed that
prince is favorable to him, and would
make for him a complacent neighbor.
Through ihe diplomacy of Bismarck,
the Prime Minister of Prussia, it is
probable that the Spanish Ci ri.es will
accept Prince Leopold, of Uohenzol-
lern-Sigmaringen, who is presumed to
be by blood and agreement too closely
allied to the Legitimists, and too much
in the interest of Prussia, to answer the
purposes of the Napoleon dynasty or
to protect it by forco or moral power
from overthrow.
Portugal's sovereign is a German
prince. Another German prime upon
he throne of Spain might place France
and the Napoleon dynasty at the mer
cy of German sovereigns closely allied
by blocd, a community of interests
and views of policy. Trte balance ol
power of the continental nations may
at any time be destroyed at the nod of

shoot him where be lies.’. ‘Her scream
awakened her "husband, who at first
tried to pacify her, he thinking that
she had been dreaming and was badly

to talk to her, whileahe burglar, hoping
he would do so, crouched himse.f-down

the blinds were open, and remembering
that, the last thing he did before retir

was more than half right', so, spring

the burglar in his crouching position,
and made for him. He took him by

A Painful’Rykor.—It is rumored
that his Excellency is exerting his in

islature to secure the passage of a bill
for the organisation, pf the militia.
One rumor hasrifc, that forty regirrjjents
are to be organized and equipped !-
This is startling and painful, if true.
We earnestly hope it is not so, and .£
not true the Governor owes it to him
self and the public to contradict it. It
will be a pleasure to ns to know that
he is misrepresented, although we re
membered that with Governor Scott,
of Sjputh Carolina, and others, at a
mass meeting in. Washington some time
back! fie advocated the necessity of put
ting rifles in the handji of'"‘loyal men.’

celebrated negro caterer at Wasbington,
has written a letter complaining loudly
that the graves of the colored soldiers
