The Evils of Misrepresentation.
We regftet to discover in the tone of
certain influential journals a disposition
to misrepresent and do great injustice to
the freedmen of the South. For the sake
of political capital assertions are made in
regard to the state of affairs here, for
whioh there is not the slightest founda
tion. It is not deemed of the slightest
consideration that this disregard for the
the truth may prove of injury to the
negro. He has been talked about so
much that almost every one has come to
look upon him as common property, and
it is hardly possible to say anything about
him that will not find approval some
where. Circumstances over which he
could have no control have placed im
between the cross-fire of parties for years,
and the result has been that lie has sui-
fered as well through the zeal of those
who made pretensions of being his friends
as the embittered hostility of his enemies.
, While he was under the protecting care
of his master, whose interest in him and
oftentimes his love for him made him
shield him from abuse, it did not make
so much difference what was said or done.
Now that he is free, and thrown thus sud
denly on his own resources, the case is
very different, and it should be remem
bered that whatever obstacle is placed in
his way has a direct tendency to dispirit
Lini in his efforts to accomplish some
thing for himself.
There are those who urge that this class
of people, whom our Chief Magistrate
quite recently addressed as fellow-citi
zens, are on the eve of insurrection, and
are liable, at any moment, to break out
into excesses too brutal and horrible to
contemplate. This is used as an argu
ment in favor of a speedy restoration of
Georgia and other States to all their
rights, that they may find within them
selves the means of repressing such
threatening evils.
We feel, perhaps, as deep an interest in
this matter of restoration as any one.
We would be glad if our State could pass
under the control of our properly elected
officials, and be relieved from this quasi
territorial government under which we
are living this very day. It would quick
en the, life of our people—shake off that
feeling of lethargy and despair which
clouds the prospects of so many, and
infuse new energy into all branches of
industry. But we would not resort to
the mean subterfuge of lying, or dispar
age the efforts of these unfortunate blacks,
in order to give efficacy to our reasons
for entertaining such laudable desires.
There are many instances in which the
Freedmen—worthless portion of them—
have behaved badly, and have overlooked
the fact that they are amenable to the
laws. We do not hold them blameless
by any means, but that as a class they
are lawless or inclined to be so, we stout
ly deny. The statements, but one ex
ample of which we have given, which
these journals would palm off on the
people as true, are utterly false, manu
factured out of whole cloth to suit the
purposes for which they were intruded.
Wq have taken the trouble to say this
much on a subject we know to be very
distasteful to our citizens in general, be
cause, in our opinion, there appeared
gopd reason why such things should be
refuted, and nothing was to be gained by
covering up the truth. The practical
workings of the Freedmen’s Bureau,
viewed from our stand-point, with but a
few exceptional cases, the result of in-
competency or unfitness of officials, have
been satisfactory everywhere, and the
Bureau is meeting with encouragement
and support throughout the North. We
deem it indispensable to secure that har
mony of action and mutual confidence
between our planters and the Freedmen
without which the freedom of the latter
would indeed prove a curse to all, and
we would not have it, nor any other as
sociation that looks to the improvement
of the negroes for their good and oars,
lose one particle of their force through
snob gross fabrications as that to which
we have alluded.

Dramatic Beading*.
We understand that the talented Miss
Carrie C. Lester intends giving one or
two select dramatic readings in our city
next week, if .a suitable hall can be ob
tained. Miss Lester has given readings
with great success in Natchez, Vicksburg,
Miss., Memphis, Tenn., Charleston, S.
C., and other Southern cities, where the
press eulogize her entertainments in the
strongest terms. Miss Lester is a talent
ed lady and a native of Natchez, Miss
With a fine, commanding figure, pretty
face and melodious voice, we have no
doubt her dramatic recitations would en
trance an intellectual audience, who de
light to while away an hour with the po
ets, and we trust the report is true of
such “a feast of reason and flow of soul”
beiug vouchsafed to our citizens.

Accident on the Central Railroad
On Thursday last an accident occurred on
the Central line, with very curious results
For some time past, our readers arc fully
aware, and many of them, too, will not forget
it, the repairing of this line has been in pro
gross aDd reached as far as station 4 1-2. One
of tbe engines, used for carrying wagons along
the line was rather defective in its boiler, which
it thought fit to blow up on Thursday last.
The engine driver and fireman were both at
their posts at the time of the explosion, and
strange to say, neither was hurt, although
both were flung a distance of some 20 yards from
the engine. The shirt of the driver was actu
ally blow n to atoms off his back, although he
himself escaped with ft whole skin, while the
fireman’s cap was taken *way in the same
manner and without injuring his wool. TL*
upper portion of tbe boiler, as ftlso the dome,
weighing about six hundred pounds each, wore
seen dying up in the air over the forest, and
have not been found yet. Some of those who
witnessed the affair, say that they must have
fallen into the mud of some of tbe creeks ; bat
the general impressioo, however, is that they
have not come down yet. The report was
heard a distance of from 15 to 20 miles. All
the under machinery .of the engine is in perfect
order, as is clearly proved by its having dashed
aloug the liue, after the explosion, for a dis
tanco of five miles, almost with the rapidity of
a cannon hall, to the great astonishment of a
who had an opportunity, doubtless for the first
time, of witnessing a runaway engine.

Proceedings.
Thts.body met in St. Paul’s Church, Augusta,
on Wednesday morning, Nov. Stb, for its opening
service. Morning Prayer was said by the Rev.
Mr. Trapier,-ssisted by tbe Rev. Mr. McRae.—
The Senior bishop proceeded with the office lor
the holy cctnmuuion, being assisted in iis cele-
btation by the other Bishops present. Tbe
Bishops then withdrew, and organized lor busi
ness by the re-electiou of the Rev. W. 11. liaii-
aon, of Georgia, as their Secretaiy.
The House of Uepn’ies elected the Rev. Mr.
Pinkney, President, ihe Rev. >tr. Mitcheil.Bec-
letury.'and the Rev. Mr. r.ckett, Assistant Sec
retary.
The necessary preliminaries having been ar
ranged, and the appjictment of the usual stand
ing committees ordered, the great subject before
the Council, viz : the relations of the several di
oceses comprising it to each other, and to the
Church iu the United States, was reteriedtoa
joint committee, consisting ot Bishop Elliott, on
the part of the House of Bishops, and the Rev.
Ur. Aodrews, the Rev. Messes. Trapier and Pick
ell, and Messrs. Phelan and Moore, on the part
of the House ol Deputies.
This committee made a report on Thursday
morning, which, alter discussion and ameudmeut
iu each house, was passed in tbq following form,
thus provioiug a iule by which the several dio
ceses beloogiDg to the Couucii will govern them
selves iu deiermiumg their future eoclesiastical
relations:
Preamble and Resolutions of the Joint Commit
tee on Ecclesiastical Relations, as finally
adopted.
Whereas, the several Dioceses, which we as
Bishops and Diputies represent at this Council,
were impelled by political events to separate,
in a legislative capacity, fiorn the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States, and did
decide,upon grounds sanctioned by Holy Scrip
ture and primitive an iqnity, to unite together
und adopt for their better government and more
convenient action a Constiiuiion and Code of
Canons, and did meet, in pursuance of that
Constitution, in General Council, in Novem-
bet, 1662; and
Whereas, this Church so organized, although
arising out of political events, was from that
time u duly organized branch of the one Catho
lic and Apostolic Church, and may of right so
continue to be, or may, through the action of
its several Diocesan Councils, from any other
synodical association; and
Whereas, in the opinion of several of the
dioceses whi-h co-opeiatcd in the formation of
this independent branch of theCatholie Church,
thetxigeiicy which-caused ils arrangement no
longer exists; and
Whereas, the spirit of charity which prevail
ed in the proceedings of the General Conveu-
lion of the Protestiut Episcopal Church in the
United Slates, at its late session in Philadel
phia, has warmly commended itself to the
hearts of this Council; therefore
Resolved, 1. That in thejudgment of this Coun
cil, it is perfectly consisieiit with the good faith
which she owes to the Bishops aud Dioceses with
which she has been in uuion since 1S62, for any
Diocese to decide for herselt whether she shall
any longer continue in union with th.s Council.
11 That.il be recommended that wherever the
word Confederate occurs in the stsudards ol this
Church, tbe woid United be substituted therefor
IU. That inasmuch as the change recommend
ed in the preceding resolutions (beiug a change
in tb6 Ptayer Book) cannot be legally completed
until the next meeting of this Council, that, un
der the ciicums’ances, it should, in the mean
time, have the force ot law in aoy Diocese, when
ever approved by its Bishop or Diocesan Coun
cil.
IV. That each Diocese now in connection wi'h
this Couucii shall be governed by the Constitu
tion and Canons tbereol until such lime as it
shall have declaied its withdrawal therefrom, as
hereinafter provided for.
V. That whenever any Diocese shall determine
to withdraw front this Ecclesiastical Confedera
tion, such withdrawal shall be eons'deied as duly
accomplished when an official uo'ice, signed by
the Bishop and Secretary of such Diocese, shall
have been given to ibe Bishops of the Dioceses
temaiumg in connection wtthihis Council.
Resolved, That while we advise the change
of tbe word Confederate to thit of United
where it occurs iD the Prayer Book, we re
commend that a joint committee bo appointed
by this Council to enter its solemn protest
against those Military Orders by which Churches
hove been closed and Clergymen ordered
to he su-pended from their functions, because
they could not use certain Prayers under the
dictation of the Military authority.
The Joint Committee, provided for in the
foregoing resolution, made the following
Report :
The Committee, to whom was referred the
following joint resolution of tbe General Coun
cil, viz :
Resolved, That, while we advise the change
of the word “Confederate” to that of “United’
where it occurs in the Prayer Book, we recoin
mend that a joint, committee be appointed by
this Council, to enter its solemn protest
against those Military Order* by which
Churches have been closed and Clergymen or
dered to be suspended from their functions,
because they could not use certain pjsyers
under the dictation of tbe Military authority,
do respectfully report, that—
Whereas, the Bishop of Alabama was elect
ed and consecrated under the Constitution
and Canons of the Protestant Episoopal Church,
in the then Confederate States, and never has
been, nor is now, a Bishop of tho Church in
the United States, nor can be so in the judg
ment of that Church, as recently expressed in
his case, onlcss aDd until he shall have made
the required “fSrorhise of conformity” to the
Constitution RDd Cations thereof; and
Whereas, For'this reason beheld that be
was under no ecclesiastical obligation to use
the Prayer appointed in the Prayer Book of
said Church for ‘ the President of the United
States, and all in civil authority;” and
Whereas, The independence of the Cbnrch
in matters'purely spiritual, is held to be of Di
vine authority, and has been tbe doctrine of
the Church since the foundation of Christiani
ty, and is at this day universally conceded by
the powers of this world, whenever the Church
has been true to itself—
Therefore. We the, members of (his Council,
do in our own behalt and in behalf of the Chris
tian Church throughout the world, solemnly pro
test against tbe order issued September 20, 1865,
Irom the Headquarters of tbe Department of
Alabama, that the Bishop and Clergy of that
Diocese 1 be'auspended from their lunc-ions, aud
forbidden to preach or perform Divine service,
and that their places ot worship be closed’ 1 —-and
against all and every secular interference with
ecclesiastical affairs, as a violation ot liberty of
conscience, as guarantied by tbe Constitution of
tbe United States. Etbfusn Elliott,

Thb Next Cotton Crop.—It is all impor
tant to tbe South, as well as to tbe balance ot
the world, that the next cotton crop should be
a largo one. If the laborers we have in onr j powerful roles,
midst will not work, meant should at once be
taken to obtain help which will. Every one
who has my interest in the welfaro of the
South should awake to the importance of hav
ing onr now almost uncultivated fields once
more covered with the productions of the soil.
The Louisville Journal speaks thus iu regard
to the next cotton crop:
“The present crop in the South will amount
to little; but next year a great effort ought to
be made to raise a large crop. Prices for a
year or twe to come, at least, are likely to rule
high, probably not much leas than forty cents.
Now, if four million bales could be raised dur
ing I860, it would amount at that price to the
enormous sum of six hundred and forty mil
lion dollars, or about one -fourth of our na
tional debt. This simple statement is suffi
cient to show of what importance a great crop
of cotton next year will be both to the indivi
dual wealth of the country and to fhe govern
ment in the payment of the national debt.
Such a crop would send new life aud activity j
through every channel of business from the |
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. The revenues
of the government would be of course, corres- i
pondingly increased and the burden* lifted
from the shoulders of the people.”
Tar. Future Pmic* of Cotton —The Now York
Tribune thinks tbe price of cotton will advance,
instead ot being lower—lor a time, at least. It
reasons thus in regard to the matter :
Theie was far more cotton iu the South when
the war stopped than bus hitherto been e-linia-
ted. If, as we stated there are now 200,000
bales at thia port and New Orleans only, with
45,00'J at Mobile, the quantity in the market
must be fully 300,000 bale* ; and if it be, as it
appears, still coming in at the rate of 3 >,00J per
week, there can be bard'y less than one million
bales to-day in tbe country, worth where it lies,
noties* than $ 50,000, On id gold und of still
greater value at Liverpool We shall probably
export enough to give usallrasl £15,0.0 tu draw
ugaiost— which is no small item
As yet, the Southern railroads are mainly
imr paired—the Southern rivers steamhoatle-s
or too low to he navigated, so that much of
this cotton may he kept back until November ;
hut it is “all as good as rye,” and be likely to
rule higher in price than lower in Liverpool
six months hence.
For, while the old stock proves larger thqn
was estimated, the growing crop cannot ex
ceed one million of bales, atM is more likely
to. fall below that mark. Texas may have a
half erfip, but the disorganization of Southern
labor is so complete, while tbe collapso of the
rebellion occurred so late in the season, that
the one planted is very small. The Souttf will
make corn and pork enough for her own sub
sistence ; but her export staples will this year
be grown so meagrely that they cannot fail to
advance in price. Cotton may be lower next
month or next fall than it is to-day, but we
are confident it will rule higher iu Liverpool
next March than it does to-day.

SAVANNAH NATIONAL REPUBLI
CAN. SATURDAY SUPPLEMENT.
Progress lit Skirt Manufacture.
It affords us pleasure to note, from time to
time, fresh developments and triumphs of skill
iiraiiy branch of manufacture, particularly so
if the comfort and well-being of a whole com
munity or country U thereby enhanced. Per
haps no greater improvement has recently been
made in any article of ladies' apparel than in
crinoline, and the latest success is due to
Messrs. W. S. Thomson, Langdon & Co,, J'Jl
Broadway, of our city, whose reputation is
world-wide through their five European es
tablishments. The M.ssrs. Thomson were
about the first who entered largely into the
manufacture of ladies’ hoop skirts, their good*
being the finest, and made under’patents taken
out by themselves, one of which, the celebra
ted eyelet patent fastening, has become of great
value not onlr to themselves, but to all ladies
who have bad tbe benefit of this peculiar fas
tening- This unique and feture fastener,
combined with their patent wedge slide, makes
•be strongest skirt yet produced; but the im
provement to which we call particular notice
is the great change for the better in the springs
—and their success is established. The
French elastic spring, introduced within a few
months, has proved the most timely invention,
and does away for ever with the stiff, awk
ward iron-dads, which were a source of dis
comfort and chagrin to tbe wearer, and
brought forth such a tirade from the press,
not to speak of the grumbling heard in all
public conveyances against the in'ruders.—
The “French elastic” has already established a
-new order of thiBgs, securing comfort to the
ladies from the great elasticity of the garment,
which requires no more room than the ordi
nary starched skirt formerly did. As to style
and shape, this firm may be considered as
leaders of fashion, the senior member residing
in Paris, and having a large factory there,
and owning the exdusive patent for skeleton
skirts for all France and Belgium, besides hav
ing the largest skirt manufactory in London
The very faet of the oldest and most extensive
manufacturer haring introduced the latest nov
elty, will be a word iq season to all the trade
who .have not already adopted the new
springs.— tlnited States Economist, and Dry
Hoods Reporter, Atuj. 26, 1865.
We have seen a specimen ot the hoop skir.
from the above establishment, and in our opin.
ion, they are all |hat can be desired by tbe
ladies. They are neat, light and durable, and
being ‘ fastened with the patent wedge slide,
make them complete and serviceable. Tbe
well known dry goods house of DeWitt &
Morgan have them on sale, and invite the at
tention of the indies to them.
