Immigratio?
To any one recognizing the important
results which must accrue from the
adoption of a systematic encouragement
of immigration to our State, the apathy
of our people on the subject must appear
strangely unaccountable. We have oon-
Tersed with many of our best citizens
in regard to the condition of Georgia,
and we have yet to find one to dissent
from the affirmation that of nil things
needed here, an immediate steady influx
of intelligent laborers is by far of the
greatest importance. There are plenty
of men ever ready to talk about our re
source®, of our hidden and undeveloped
mineral wealth, and broad extant of rich
soil as yet estranged from cultivation,
all inviting enterprise and insuring the
richest returns both to the State and
individual. There is no scarcity of
those willing to perform such cheap lip
service, but very few indeed who are
willing to go further and present these
facts in such form and at such places as
will insure their not being lost on the
minds of those whom we would, for our
good and theirs, induce to take up their
abode among us. If we may be allowed
to judge from actions—or rather appear
ances, for there is an indisposition to act
at all in the matter—our people have
made up their minds that it is only re
quired of them to whisper these things
to themselves, and some favoring breez e
will wa*t them to far-off lands. Nothing
can be expected from this mode of pro
cedure. If we would accomplish any
thing to this end, we must put forth all
our energies.
We will not be alone in the field. The
North-west is already there working and
driving ahead with characteristic earnest
ness, and. having the advantages of long
experience in the conduct of the busi
ness, will prove no insignificant obstacle,
in our way. Besides many of the South
ern States are similarly situated with
onrselvea, and willbe importunate in pre
senting their peculiar claims. Several of
them have commenced the work, and
from the known reputation of the men
who have put their shoulders to the
wheel, we feel perfectly assured they will
persist in their efforts until the praise
worthy object is fully accompliqjied.
This inertness, at a time when so much
is depending on the most vigorous action,
is, to us, perfectly inexplicable. It is a
fact concealed from none, that thousands
of our once affluent people are almost re
duced to poverty. Especially is this the
case among the planters, many of whom
have large plantations and are without
the means of making them productive.
The better class of emigrants to the
United States, particularly those coming
with the intention of entering into agri
cultural pursuits, are possessed of some
capital with which to commence life in
the new country. If the proper Bteps
were taken, enough of these might be se
cured to the State to aid us materially in
retrieving the losses of the past few years
in a very short time, and ere long assist
in the reclamation of many acres of valu
able land, which have, for long years,
been unproductive through the Want of
this element of industry iq onr midst*
Their introduction would be beneficial in
every way. It is admitted on all sides
that no one thing could have a better
effect on the freedmen • They would
see white men toiling assiduously day
after day in the very fields which they,
in their mistaken notion of what con
stitutes freedom, had deserted. Noth
ing—not even the advice of those in
whom they have the utmost confidence—
coaid be more effectual to dispel the idea
that now that they are free, they can have
no care, but to live and die in a perfect
milieniam of idleness. They are essen
tially imitative, and could not long re
main in the neighborhood of the steady
working, thrifty German, without secu
ring such impressions as would
lead to the best results. This
one item, of itself, is well Worth
the candle. The subject has been pressed
upon the attention of our people repeat-
H«w A A
Chaplain M. French, 'whom many of
onr readers in the interior Will remeqiber
Blade an extended tour through Georj
for the purpose of instructing Jhe
men in relation to the duties d<
upon them in their ^— ““
whose sound advice
ly endorsed by the Qodgia press and
the largest planters of onr State, arrived
in town Wednesday. Chaplain French,
we are glad to learn, has received an ap
pointment as Agent of the Freedman’s
Bureau,and ordered to report tojBrig.Gen.
Tillson for duty in this State. Those of onr
people who may have occasion to meet
Chaplain French, will find him a courte
ous and educated* gentleman, governed
by sound, practical common sense
viewB in' ffithat he undertakes. We have
Q doubt that the mission of Mr. French
"" result in producing much good
among tie Freedtnen, abd help to
banish the effects of such pernicious
teachings asM* Brsdla/ app^tsitOfhavs V
disseminated among this unsuspdetmgf',
class of onr people,
En passant, it seems to us that, judging
I from all the reports we hear from various
I sections of pat State, and in fact the en
tire South, it would lie a wise movement
on the part of Government to appoint a
number of Commissioners—intelligent,
reasonable and re*fx>nsfbU men—to visit
the Southern States, particularly the in
terior, where abuses are far more likely
to occur than in the cities. Let it be the
duty of these Agents or Commissions^
to investigate thoroughly the real condi
tion and the relations existing : between
the former masters and their slaves.—
Such Agents would be competent to
judge fairly of the state of affairs, and
their extensive experience would qualify
them to make proper and valuable sug
gestions to Government, and to devise
practical plans for the management and
permanent success of the Free Labor
system.
We are firmly of the opinion that if ac
tive, energetic and suitable philanthropic
men are selected to perform this arduous
labor, it would be far better, and tend to
bring about a much more speedy reconci
liation between the colored laborers and,
their former owners, than brigades of
troops stationed in onr State. By this we
would not be understood as advocating
the withdrawal of any portion of the
troops now stationed in Georgia, for we
believe that such a movement would prove
a dangerous one, and detrimental to the
best interests of onr country. But, ffs it
is rumored that quite a large force are
coming, we have ventured to express this
opinion, which, we believe, will be sus
tained by the majority of the planters of
our State.
The objection raised to granting exclu
sive military control in regulating the free
labor system, is, that it is more likely to

Msurlae Disaster
Seeing in your paper for this day an adver
tisement of a Fair by the ladies of this city for
the benefit of the poor, i felt inclined to go,
and did go. I had a pleasant time ontil the
close, or until I wanted to leave. When I took
up my hat, (which I had placed upon the man
tel-piece) I found as much as a double hand
ful of mud in it, which was evidently inten
tionally pat there, I know not who pat it
there-wish I did. When I spoke to a gentle
man who was prominently engaged in the fair,
he veiy coolly told me he presumed some of
the boys did it. I make this public that other
gentlemen may profit by my experience, and
that the ladies may protect themselves against
the acts of boys who cannot behave ihsmaelveg
at such a place, as this aet reflects very severe
ly upon ail the boys who wore present, some
of whom would not be guilty of

plained of for any words or language in public or
private, but for the effect produced thereby,
and they must be set forth in the oomplaint on

3d. Because civil causes of action for slander of
tbe President and actions on the ease by eaeh
person defrauded of bis money by falsa pretence,
are illegally joined in a oriminal conplamt.
4tb. Beosuse the President has declared that
peace exists in all the State of Georgia, and his
military powor stops at that instant over those
who had been loyal citizens daring the war.
5th. Because a public meeting fig free persons
-to petition tbe Government for a redress of griev
ances was, and is, as lawful under tbe oonstitn-
tien, and as free to speak as the SnDreme Coart
or the members of Congress,*if peaceable in the

There was a full attendance of the members
of the Court when it assembled at the hour of
S)| o’clock, and the proceedings immediately
commenced by the examination for the de
fence of—
James Porter, (colored) who, after being duly
sworn, testified-:
1 am a teacher, and reside in Savannah ; I
recognize the accused.
Do yon or do yon not know anything about
a public meeting at which the accused spoke,
and what did he any on tho occasion ?
Yes, sir; I attended with him both of the
meetings where he delivered addresses. The
subject, I believe, he discussed, sir, was the
elective franchise, and he said we had a right
as citizens to appeal to tbe Government for
the right to vote, and be presented some reso
lutions and a petition, to which some names
were signed. Persons present decided to send
some one to carTy this petition to Congress,—
Many paid a dollar—some as low as ten cents,
while some gave nothing. About one hun
dred and fifty-eight dollars was the amount of
the collection. He (B.) advised them, sir, to
contract, and to stay on the lands, and said
that none but United .States authorities had a
right to remove them off the lands, and that if
compelled to go, to hold their papers to them
(tbe lands ;) that it would cost them nothing
to keep them, and they could do them no harm.
In the coarse of bis remarks I think he did
say, sir, that tho Copperhead papers had called
the President some hard names, and ns fools.
What did tbe accused say ot the President, aud
was his language insurrectionary or not ?
Tbe Court objected to and overruled the latter
part of the question, and tbe,witnesa answered :
I believe I have stated, sir, what he said about
the President—that the copperhead presB had
said that he (the President) was drank or a fool,
or something like that.
The accused here offered in evidence, what
purported to be a copy ot the proceedings of and
resolutions adopted by the mass meeting held at
the Second African Baptist Church, (Or. Cox’s,)
on tbe 5th inSt., and which were sent to tbe editor
ot the Savannah National Republican for publi
cation, but owing to their seditious and insur
rectionary character,as well as the illiterate man
ner in which they were prepared, together with
the pernicious results that might ensue from
their publication, were refused admission to its
columns. The Court after deliberation overruled
the reading of the resolutions.
Did the accused say anything about freedmen
stealing from their former owners, and if so,
state wliat he said on that subject *
Hodid say something, sir. He said that when
a man gives his whole services to another, and
was hungry, and he took what was necessary to
feed himself, he was not a thief, for the laws of
God, I think Be said, had declared ' that every
man must live by the sweat ofhts own brow :
that from what be (B) knew ofAhem, the colored
people, since be has been here, he could not
characterize them as thieves—that be thought
that was abase li bol—the word he made use of,
sir, upon them; and he advised them to be in-
dustnoas, I think, in the same connection.
Was anything said about disobeying the or
ders of Gen. Howard ?
No, sir; I don’t remember that his name was
called in question at all.
Was anything said about resitting at tho
point of the bayonet ?
No, sir.
In what connection did the accused use the
expression that the copperhead papers had said
that the President was drunk, and that we were
fools ? s
WTien he (B.) had presented tho resolutions
he said he had elsewhere presented them at
several places in tbe North—I think that Fan-
euil Hall was one—and that they had been
adopted at one or two places by large audi
ences, but had been vigorously opposed by cop
perheads. _
Did not the accused, in speaking on the sub
ject of stealing, say that all the property at the
South was the result of the toil and sweat of
freedmen ?
No, sir, he did not.
Did he ask them the question: “ From
whom could they steal? or how could they
steal, when there was no one to steal from ?”
He did not ask the question—that was when
he was answering Mr. Fraser—who had said
that they were thieves, and he (B.) asked,
“Who could call them thieves ?” as nearly as I
understood him.
Was that all the remark he made on that
a abject of stealing ? ■
Mr. Frazier had said that they were thieves,
liars, and wonld not work, and were not worthy
of the elective franchise.
And hjs reply was ?
Just what I have said he stated was in an
swer to Mr. Frasier. He(B.) took a note of
Frazier’s words on paper, and then replied to
them.
As Secretary of the meeting, was yon en
gaged in writing while the accused was speak
ing ? . • ”
I was. I was taking small notes.
i.W. L. Houston, colored, was next sworn,
told testified, I am Pastor of the Third African
Baptist Church in Savannah. I recognise the
accused# . H
Were yof at a public meeting on tbe 5th
inst, Wherq^be accused spoke, and if so, state
all be said about freedmen stealing, or diso
beying the orders of General Howard, &c. ?
No »ir,
Nothing in my presence. I was tljere from
the first to the last of the meeting. (Witness
here corrected himself by saying :) It appears
that Mr. Frazier had charged them with steal
ing, and he (B.) then said: “Who did they
steal from ?” and said that if they stole any
thing they stole it from themselves; that if i
man did not work he wonld steal, and that,
they coaid steal from nobody, because what
they stole they bad labored for.
Did not tbe accused talk about stealing when
be said that what they stole was the proauet of
their own Sweat and toil, and was raised by
them? 1
Yes, sir. I believe he did.
Did be not ask “How eould they steal when
there was nobody to steal from ?’’
Yes, sir, he did say that.
Ltrois Toomtr, a whita.citisea, was next called
as a witness for the defence, sworn and testified.
I am a teaoher of freedmen, and reside in Sa
vannah. I recognize the accused.
Were you present at a public meeting which
the aoensed addressed, and if to, what did he say
regarding contmts?
I heard him nviie the people to stay on the
plaoe (lands), and make the contracts with tbe
owners.
State the date of this meeting ?
I oan’t tell, bat I attended both of the meet
ings.
All he said t
No, sir. Ho told them to remain on the lands
until removed by proper authority, for when re
moved, it wonld beat tho point of tho bayonet,
unless they wore peaoeable; and that he (B.) ex-
peoted that this Congress wonld do something for
them in the meantime. These are the points I
think he made regarding oontracts, to the beet of
my recollection.
What did the accused say in reference to steal'
iog?
That if a man stole anything and pat it in hii
belly, he did not call that stealing, nor did the law
call (hat stealing. • • ,
Was anything said abont Gen. Howard, and
if so, state it ? t.
No, sir; I heard nothing.
Did you hear any remarks about the Presi
dent ?
He said that according to the laws 6f tbe
country the President had no power to restore
property to its owners, as Congress had that
right—the President none until the power was
vested in him by Congress.
Did he say anything about sqnatter sover
eignty ?
Yes, sir, but I understood very little about it,
because I could not get a proper understanding
in reference to it.
The Accused—li the Court please, I should
like to enquire by what act I am being tried ?
The Court—An act of Congress and the Rules
and Regulations of War.
When the accused made bis reply to Mr.
Fraser—yon were present then, yon have
stated—did he not say that all the property
about here was the product of the freedmen's
toil and sweat ?
I don’t recollect.
Did not the accused say something to that
effect?
I can’t say.
Did he not make the remark, “How can they
steal ?”
I cannot say.
Did he not say that the freedmen should stay
on the lands until removed by proper anthority
—that Congress had no right to remove them?
He did not, bat he said for them to stay until
removed by proper anthority, or they would be
removed at tbe point of the bayonet.
Did he say that no anthority but Congress had
the right to remove them ?
I did not hear him say so.
Did he explain to them what wonld be proper
authority ?
1 did not hear him.
Did be lay that the President was drunk,
and had no right to restore the rebels their
property ?
He did not.
Anything abont that ?
No, sir.
Did yon sign the call *
hungry and took what he wanted,
not call that stealing, nor waajhei
in it, or something tc that effect.
Now what about money collectei
He took np a collection for rej
house. This meeting took place ai
church, on Tuesday night week ago.
James R. Mason, (white,) was next called,
and testified: _ I am a teacher, residing
recognize the accused. I al
ia public meeting held Dec. 5th, which
awptid. In regard to contracts he told
fie to cultivate their crops of cotton,
&c., on the lands, and if ordered off by the Go
vernment to submit to the military. He said
nothing at alb about Gen. Howard; that what
ever laws the President or Congress male .Stop
(freedmen) most subnfif to them in good faith.
The money collected in the afternoon was to
pay the expenses of Washington delegates, and
that obtained at night was some sixty or seventy
dollars, and was for establishing schools. There
was no delegate appointed then to go to Wash
ington. Mr. Cox took charge of the money
collected in the afternoon and evening.
The Court to the accused—Have you con
cluded your defence ? • . .
I think I have, sir, although I could bring
one hundred witnesses who are ready to testify
in my behalf.
On wbat points—the same as those covered
by tbe testimony yon have thus far produced ?
Yes, sir; almost precisely—in fact, the seme;
bat I will not ivearyibe Court
No, sir ; we will sit all night if necessary.
We wish to close this case. Bring on your
witnesses. |
Very well. I ihahk you; I believe I may
say that 1 have concluded, and I leave the mat
ter in the hands of the Coort If tbe Co art * *
please I should like to submit a written defence
or summing up.
Yon will then have the opportunity to-mor-
rew morning at <J o’clock, to which hour the
Court will now adjourn.

Life Insurance.—Are you Interested)—

BOSTON POST,
The advantages of life insurance cannot be over
estimated. To-day a man may be in health, to
morrow he is not. ’ A policy or insurance should
always be taken when a parson is in good health,
and at tbe very lime he thinks it the moat unne
cessary.
How many instances we have read of. hear of,
see, in the short space of time iu which life insu
rance has become a mutter of business invest
ment, where the party’s family has been bene-
littcd and supported solely from an investment
of a few dollars ysarly to a Lite Insnranee com
pany.
A person can hardly value the promise to pay I ta|
of a Life Insurance Company too highly. A | —
(10,000 policy of life insurance is an annuity to
a family of at least (600 per annum. A (20,000
policy produces 11,200 at six per cent, inter

Persons say, well, if it is a good thing for a
company to seek insurance, and profitable to
them, I can make the same profit myself. Poor
logic indeed, for a man to organize a life insu
rance company npon one risb. It is in the number
of risks which a company takes, that the securi
