Ao tlie public have boon made familiar, through his .'JicogIics and letters, with hia views on all lead ing question*, and as he is not, and has never been, a seeker for promotion, his views are of interest only as they relate to the pub]jc good, to which his life has been devoted. There was little in the speech to which anybody can take particular exception; it w«u> a good- t tempered speech, iu which be corked op some oi the vials of wrath which he had opened in the heat of former controversies. Indeed Mr. Hill ap peared to *ym}»tbixe so fully with the general good humor over our relief from Radical rule, that he aeemed willing to forgive everybody, and to desire every body to forgive him. And we quite agree, that in the general rejoicing, old political bickerings may well be forgot ten, and old enemies kiss each other in the dawning sunlight, and swear, per petual amnesty. But in the fraternal embrace we beg to enter a kindly pro test against his emphatic endorsement at* the doctrines of Mr. Clay, which he desires to make the corner-stone of the new political edifice he would rear.— Mr, Clay, with all his admitted patri otism, has always appeared to us the most unfortunate friend the South ever 2nd. He compromised away (he un questioned right of the South to equal ity in the territories. He did it in the interest of peace, but he did it at a time . -when the South was able to ’domspd. her rights, and to maintain them. He •only put of! the settlement of a sec- itionnl question, which had to be met momfttun&* j He putt it off until, when Li iths tame came, the South had lost much heraniaerfaal equality, through the . v .protective system and internal improvo- iment.policy Mrv<3ay maj be called Uhe father of the protective system and the policy of internal improvements, which have fattened the North and .starved the Sooth, from his day to the present, and which forever denied, us all hope of keeping pace with the do- ’velopcment, whose sinews it extorted from our industry. If the perpetua tion of protective iarifis, and a contin uance of the policy of internal improve ments by the general government, which has grown into a'gigantic System of land grabbing end corrupt political jobbing, are a part of the Henry Clay doctrines which constitute Mr. Hill’s Democracy, he may! Well say that if he is a Democrat, “he* did nut go to be." And he will find it rather 0 cold trail to attempt to organize any party South on that line. enthusiastic ders to the wheel, and do their best.— The first and the chief thing—the great ’ thing to be done—the title qua non, is letter of to remove the prejudice and enlighten! tiee, a large E „. ropean mind with regard to our eec- Januarv the I7th. and organized by The cheapest and most effectual - — “ “ Georgia. | In obedience to a call explained in GLOBE HOTEL, 1 die preamble accompanying this no- S.

Another Railroad Move.—It is stated that a New York railroad syn dicate, headed by Moses Taylor, the banker and ship owner, has bought, fir i ne million dollars, a controlling interest in the South Carolina Railroad running from Augusta to Charleston. Mr. Taylor owns largely in tlm Cen tral Railroad of Georgiaand the steam ship lines from New York to Savan nah. The Oiramde thinks the mo tive of the movement lies in the anta gonism between New York and -the cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia for the Southern trade and die com mand of the Southern Pacific road. The Penusylvania Central syndicate have combined with Mahone, through Norfolk, to control the Southern trade in the interest of Baltimore mid Phil adelphia, New York now seeks a com bination widi Savannah and Charle ston for the same trade. The Chronicle augers good to the South from this struggle for her trade. Adjourned.—Tue Legislature ad- jourued last Friday. Hon. Hiram Warner was confirmed as Chief Jus tice to fdl the unexpired term of J. E. Brown; Judge Twiggs as Judge of the Middle Circuit; C. P. Lumpkin as Solicitor of the Northern Circuit; S. W.

Does not any teah ef general ia*i formation know that the only reason our spare fauids'arit not sold fa, that we have pot had the enterprise to pot them on the market? ' ' r., • In the last proposition consists the humiliation. We are, as a people, The Mariauna Courier says: “ The number of applications for homesteads by coloted men in this county is really startling to those who regard the ad vancement and improvement in the condition of the black race os a myth, and in its effect on the present system of planting, by the wide-spread need and crying want of planters f.r labor, is fast bringing the more thoughtful to a sad realization of the fact that an im petus must be given to foreign immi gration and the cause fostered and ad vanced, er Florida will soon be a negro State, and the landed property as well os Government will be in the exclusive control of black men." Mr. Logan, uf Illinois, now in the Senate, said in the House of Represen tatives : “ We have, in the navy, one officer to every six men; $5,000,000 goes to officers and 8*2,000,000 to the men. I desire to call the attention of the country to the fact that the taxes paid hy the people are being absorbed by men who have no duties to perform whatever." A Washington letter says it is hinted that ah exposure is to be made of the corruptions existing in every branch of the government, and that a caw which a $200,000 defaulter was per mitted to settle on the basis of $60,000 will be cited. financially in great distress, but we are not too poor to ofier our land for sale, if we had the energy to do it One man standing alone cannot put his lands on the market when the pui^ chasers are in the different countries in Europe. And up to this time we have not exhibited the enterprise necessary to combine and advertise our lands.— When our spare lands are sold we are the richest people in the world, because we have the great elements iff wealth —iron and cool—a productive soil and healthful climate in a more eminent degree than any country in the world, and besides we have a monopoly in our staple, which enables us to levy an annual tax upon the whole civilized world, amounting to $300,000,000 in gold. We suggest t» Commodore Maury, who is now in advance of any other man in the South on the great question of relief, (for it is in fact this,) to make or bring . forward a proposition for putting his phun in operation, by nam ing a place and day for a convention in the South. Iu this way perhaps only can we determine by actual test whether we are a hopelessly enervated people. Will not Commodore Maury take hold and put this ball io motion ? The following is his letter: Virginia Military Institute, ) Dec. 33, 1871. j Rolfe S. Saunders, Esq.: I have been prevented from an ear lier acknowledgment of your favor of the 1st. I recently went into some calcula tions upon European emigration: The natural increase of the white popula tion is 13.8 per cent from census, s> that according to a writer in the Nor folk Virginian, of the 12th inst, had there been no immigration into the country since the census of 1790, the total white population of the United States in 1870 would have been, round numbers, 10,000,000, instead of 35,000,000. TUs difference of 25- 000,000 <ff inhabitants fa due to the immigrants and the descendants of im migrants who have settled in this country for the last eighty years. Of these 25,000,000, the States which ten years ago were called the Slave.States,” have 7,500,000, and the “ Free States” 17,500,000— differ ence in foyer of foe latter, 10,000,000 of inhabitants. . Neither Spain, nor Denmark, nor Holland has ten million inhabitants, cor had England more than half as many in-the time of “ Good Quee Yet they were powtr.ul nation Nor is there any other nation in the New World that has ten millions of straight-haired inhabitants. Brazil the most populous among them, has ouly twelve millions, counting negroes and all. Now, according to Mr. Chases’ esti mates, each one of these ten millions of people is worth to the North, their persons, and with their Capital and labor, 91,000; I think that •' his estimate is too high, and suppose that $500 would be nearer the mark. Then $5,000,000,000—five thousand million dollars—represents what the : North has gained more than foe South, by immigration alone; this,. exclusive of foe military power that resides in ten millions of people. Now it not “ Yankee enterprise," nor “ Yan kee energy”—which are such pet terms for accounting for the difference wealth, power and prosperity between the sections—that created this wealth, foiapoptdation. It was immigration. And a like immigration of settler* in the South would increase the wealth of foe South by. an equal sum of five thous and million of dollars in gold; or rath er what is better than gold or silver. Suppose the South coaid set motion for her borders a stream of immigrants no greater, but aogseat as way of doing this is for the States to dab together for a joint statement of facts addressed to that prejudice and ignorance, and calculated to remove them,* and tlun to Impart to foe emi- grswting dasMs in Europe facts with regard Jqjbe.8oufo—its climate and production, etc.; its natural resources features; its internal im- provemeatsand water course?; markets »nd market ways; its social condition, with the manners and .customs of foe people. In short, everything that the emigrant ought to know about a new country before coming to H. .Then, let this report, under foe seal of all foe cooperating Stotes, be pot in the lan guage of all the people yon desire to reach, and stereotyped. Then let these plates, also at the common expense, le placed in each country—the German plates with a German publisher, etc., who dull deliver copies to the agents, public and private, of the various States, and of the varioas immigration companies, and charging, for such cop ies only ti» east of papg) -sink print ing. ( , - Let this be done, and, my word for it, yon will soon see ashing dried up springs of European emigration for the Honfo, gushing forth like mountain torrents. You may see this plan more folly developed in “ The South.' While immigration will cost you money, the system of meteorological observations and crop reports that I proposed last fall will cost you noth ing, and be quite as beneficial. I send you copy of the address. Help “ roll that ball along." The people are tak ing it up. Yours, M. F. Maury. Among foe modem improvements we have introduced into Japan w kero sene.

Bn * "■ “ *" * Cotton States Land and Immigration Company. From the time the war ended, bring ing in its train a total change in our system of labor, we have looked to im migration as the only possible hope of real prosperity and progress for foe South. We therefore hailed foe first efforts to secure laborers from abroad, as movements in the right direction. Some of these efforts were unsatisfac tory in their results. They failed as much from errors in securiug foe right class of people, as from mistaken treat ment of those few who sought homes and employment among us through these agencies. In the eagerness to make money, these agencies have too often procured foe vagabond population around cities, large numbers of whom can always be found, ready to leave their country for their country’s good, but who are utterly unreliable as la borers. Many of these, coming when our planters were impoverished, were put into negro quarters, and fed on negro rations. The results were unsat isfactory to both parties, and immigra tion, received a check in its inripiency. Later movements, inaugurated by -in telligent foreigners, with foe coopera tion of thoughtful planters, have been more satisfactory; and several hun dred Europeans have been introduced into our State during the last year or two, with results that bavegiven a new impetus to the work. Associations have been formed for the purpose of extend ing operations, and the prospect of good results is now more cheering than ever. Among foe organizations just started for promoting immigration, we take especial pleasure in calling attention to "The Cotton States Land and Immi gration Company," of Athens. Col. Schaller, who is a member of the com pany, is a German by birth, and a gen tleman of culture; familiar alike with the wants of the emigrating classes, and of the people of the South. He spent a year in Germany, since the war, as an immigration agent for Virginia, and was more successful than any of foe numerous agents from the South, bring ing out quite a large number of desira ble settlers. Col. Schaller has pre pared a number of papers on immigra tion, which show a thorough compre hension of the subject, in all its details, and his known reliability will afford a guaranty against the errors and abuses which have attended some ojf the im migration enterprises. His associates are also gentlemen of known responsibility. Dr. Newton will reside in New York, and co-operate with foe interests of the company there, and the offico here will be in charge of CapL Carlton, where orders and correspondence will receive -attention. They propose to bring out.laborers of every kind—farm hands, gardeners, hostler*, mechanics and domestic*. We know that the member* of this Company will guard well foe character, and reliability of the people they induce to settle among us; their object being, not merely to make something out of the business, but to make it the. nu cleus for a voluntary immigration to our section of a larger portion of the swelling tide of unsdejand money that fa enriching the cold and remote re gions of the West. - citizens of the said county of Jackson ; therefore. Besolred, That while it is not the province, and would be foreign to the objects of tills meeting to institute in vestigation as to the guilt of innocence of any person or persons charged with violating the late Act of Congress, known as the “ Ku Klux Bill,” it nev ertheless behooves us as good and law abiding citizens to express, as we heart ily do, our unqualified condemnation of all violations of law and order of whatever character. Resolved, That the citizens of Jack- son county, as heretofore, are uncom promisingly opposed to mob law, and to any and all secret organizations that disturb the peace, quiet and welfare of society. Resolved, That having sustained a character, unstained by auy intimation or suspicion of disorder or lawlessness since the surrender—the Holliday dis turbance excepted—the people of Jack- son county are still the friends of law and order, and ih; enemies ofisny and all disturb?!* of the peace. Resolved, That in the sense of this meeting, the civil officers of the coun ty should be dilligent in their efforts to ferret out and bring to justice all violators of law and order, and we hereby pledge them our assistance, if necessary, in arresting any and all lersons who may presume'to take the aw into their own hands, or in any way infringe upon the rights of the iu dividual citizen. Resolved, For good and sufficient reasons, which we are prepared to ren der before the proper authorities, that the reported firing upon Mr. Hullida; body guard of Federal soldiers in £ cerabcr of the past year, was not, in the decided jungsment of this meeting the deed or act, directly or indirectly, of any citizen or citizens ot Jackson county, and wa hereby specially invite the attention of the authorities to this statement, and as an act of justice to the people of Jackson county, the most rigid investigation of this,' as well as all other charges against them fa urg ently solicited. Resolved, That the burning of Mr. J. R. Holliday’s mills was a demonia cal act, much regretted by the citizens of Jacksou county ; that for this most palpable violation of law and right, they are not, and should not in justice be held responsible ; and they hereby ] dedge themselves without prejudice to : oes or partiality to friends to do all in their power to bring foe guilty party or parties to condign punishment. Resolved, That copies of these reso lutions be forwarded to the Chief offi cer in command at Atlanta, the Mar shal of the State of Georgia, and the Hon. W. P.
