Thia bravo ntnl gallant Tennessean, on
bia way to his homo in Tcuncsaeo, reached
our city on Thursday night. This tearless
warrior and dauntless leader, now that the
war has terminated, is in lavor of cultiva-
vating the arts ol peace, aud discounte
nances anything that is calculated to keep
up or promote strife between the dilTsrenl
sections. Ilia many triends and admirers
will be pleased to learn that he is in the
enjoyment of fine health.

Vlio Mayor of Galveston and Lieutenant
Colonel Lsughlin, Provost Marshal General
ot Texas, had an interview the other day,
in the course of which Lieut. Col. Laughliu
declared to the Mayor among other things,
that iJleuets on the part of the coloied
population would uot bj tolerated, uor
would negroes be alio wed to become charge
able upon the city as paupers, that the uc-
sire of the authorities was that negroes
should make contracts with their former
masters (or any consideration agreeable to
both parties, and that the parties so con
tracting would be compelled to carry out
their contract in good laith.
The Lieut. Colonel proposed to the May
or that the city council should pass an or
dinance empowering the Mayor to punish
by line and imprisonment, all hired setvauts
that may leave their employers before the
expiration of the time agreed up in, aud he
assured the Mayor that measures would be
adopted to prevent llic ingress of idle ne
groes into Die towns aud cities ol our State.
The above regulations adopted at Gal
veston, Texas, with the inprobation ol
Lieut, Col. Laughliu, Provost Marshal Gen
eral, of Texas, strike us as being eminently
wise and proper under the eiicumstances.
Ills determination also to adopt measures to
prevent the ingress of idle negroes into the
towns and cities ol tbut State, shows that
he has a due appreciation ot the evils^to he
apprehended, it the negroes are permitted
to abandon the plantations in the country
and to herd in the cities and towns. Idle
uess, and Us invariable concomitants, vice
and crime, can but abound, it largo num
bers of legrocs are permitted tv» assemble
about the towns.
Without habitations, and
many instances, to all
must sicken and die.

Tnu public, if willing for the time, to sup

length ot timecontlue to do so; and then
will come tho tliefis, the robberies, the inur-
dors that will destroy the peace and quiet
ot society, and compel the destruction ot
the negro. To avoid all this trouble, and
prevent the dire necessity alluded to, rea
son, prudence, cpinmnu sense and philan
thropy demand that such measures slinll be
adopted as will in the main keep the ne
groes in their accustomed fields ot labor.
Tnere are many other thoughts in con
nection with Ibis matter that might be sug-
gcfiled, but we will forbear ior the present,
as we iiave already said more on ibis sub
ject than we intended to do when wo com
menced, nur only object being to commend
the wisdom which had prompted the Gal
veston regulations.
“ INDECENT AND ABOMINABLE.”
We were attracted yesterday by this head
ing to an article in the Albany Evening
Journal. What, we asked oursdt, lias our
pleasant, genial contemporary discovered to
roughen the enamel of his smooth and well
polished temper? We read, and were not
nnrpi ised. Here is the article:
That the New York Independent should
engage in political wrangles is to be expect
ed. That it should rivul the most violent of
the partisan presses in virulence of party
spirit, is to he taken for granted. We have
got uaed to that. Wc don't read it with Die
expectation ot finding anything but the
most casual allusion to religious mutters.
We should us soon think ol'looking lor a
moral essay in 1'anl dc Uock or a theologi
cal disquisition in Joe Miller.
But we. arc surprised to find even Die
Independent leaning its columns to the
advocacy of Die repulsive doctrine of Mis
cegenation. A Mr. Clarence Cook writes a
letter to that journal, wherein lie lakes the
ground tliul we will never do anything in
the realm of art or literature worth speaking
ol, until we lose our identity as a race by
amalgamation wilh the negro! To show
that we do not misrepresent his position, we
permit him to speak ior idmsell:
"Tills rare lias in it the seeds of a rich
aud generous culture. It shall lie mixed
with ours, is being mixed, iudoed; aud in
the future, we ahull rate a unit of art, ot lit
eratue, cf social JJfe, tho product of tills
great engrafting, such as lias not yet been
seen in the world, it is paltry in us to hold
our eyes h i close to the present, as if in the
lap of God there were not yours of purer
gold, more jewel rich more crystal-clear, to
delight the eyes, to cheer the hearts to in
spire Die advancing souls ol men. The raeo
that shall people this splendid continent is
not horn, it is in the womb o( time; the
• yeH ol this generation, nor the uex', shall
not know it, hut they may prepare Hie war
f>r it, and believe in its coming.”
Ditch drivel as this would he too disgusting
t >r notice, were it not lor the tacit endorse
ment which H receives from the Indepiml-
ent. What does that journal mean Y Are
we to understand that it is preparing Die
wuy fur u new crusade V Does it propose
to incorporate Miscegenation as a- plunk in
its filulform < The thousands ot cultivated
men and women who read it, have u tight
to ask what is its purpose in admitting such
filthy trash us this letter ol Mr. Clarence
Cook in its columns.
The reader will not be astonished ^shen
wo state that the Independent i < one of
•hose journals that denounced Viee-Prtsi-
dint Johnson lor diunkenness on -the 4th
ot March, and called upon him to exhibit
Iris senses ol the disgrace ho had inflicted
upon the country, by resigning, aud that it
now denounces Die President lor not usurp

^EXTREMISTS DEVELOPING THEIR
PLANS. - LETTER PROM WEN
DELL PHILLIPS.
Wo find tho following lottcr from Wen
dell Phillips in the New York Anti Slavery
Standard ot the 8.h instant:
7b tht hZlitoroffthe Standard:
Lot me calf your attention, and that of the
country, to the danger-pointed out in the
following extract from tho letter ot an acute,
and vigilant friend:
"President Jobus-m Is rapidly issuing
proclamations ior lliu re organization of all
(he Hobcl Slates. The Governors appointed
are old politicians who know all the ropes.
Is it not their design, aud will they not be
able, before next December, to make all
their new Constitutions aud elect new Gov
entersand full Congressional delegations?
Then what is to prevent those States from
presenting themselves, fully accred.ted, ou
the lloor or the new Congress, and partici
pating in its organization. They will claim,
as President Johnsou does, their Slates have
never been out of the Union; that the gov
ernment declares (iis it will) the rebellion
suppressed and military occupation with
drawn, and that they now resumo their re-
luUons with the Federal Government, which
have bccu only temporarily suspended. In
this claim they will be backed by the whole
power of the Administration, and this is tho
trap to be sprung on us. The Clerk of the
House, you rcuu inhor, presides until a new
Speaker is elected. It he had firmness
enough to rctuso to receive the credentials
of these rebel members, and to refuse to
count their votes, tiiis danger might be
averted. But can we count on so much
virtue in any politician ? We may, perhaps,
baffle this plan in (ho Senate, That body
being always organized, no members can
be admitted without the concurrence of the
rest. But how loug would even the Senate
staud up against the HCliou of the House ol
Representatives aud enormous pressure of
every other kind ?
" L believe that tho attempt will be mnde
at the next meeting of Congress. Possibly
South Carolina might be kept out, but even
that is douhtlul. 1 may exaggerate the im
portance ol this mutter, but that the attempt
will lie made there can be no doubt.”
The Importance of these suggestions can
not bo over estimated, and every means
should lie taken to avert this peril. We
Iiave been counting on the possibility ol
rallying a majority of the legally elected
members of Congress to keep the memliers
from rebel Slates out of Cougress, at least
till they consented to ccrtaiu conditions—
ratifying the Auti-Slavcry Amendment, and
other matters. Some sanguine friends be
lieve they can be kept out until they agree
to give the negro. Die right to vote. But,
according to this rebel plot, the Southern
members may outer Cougrcaa without agree
ingto the Anti-Slaverv Amendment or to
auy other conditions. Ouce inside the doors,
they may take part in all the discussions
and votes affecting themselves and their
claims, and may check the Anti-Slavery
Amendment itself. In fact our fate is iu the
hands ot the Clerk of the House of Repre
sentativos. 1 know nothing about him; bill
how few men in tbe nation could bo trusted
to stand firm iu snch a post ? The whole
North sboukl be roused to guard against
this danger. ’ It the rebel Slates in their
present mood can, in any way, get inside ol
Congrets, aud wield eighty four votes there,
aud more especially if fifty can get there
unpledged to any conditions and wield those
votes, then truly the " South !1 -WTil-be- as
strong as t-vi-r, and the Negro almost as
defenseless. Yours,
WENDELL PHILLIPS.
We have seen numerous indications of an
intend ou un tbe part ol men-of extreme
views, to get up and keep up agitation, for
Die purpose ol forming a public sentiment
which they hope, will prevail upon the ma
jority ol Cougress to dqny seats in that
body to Senators and Representatives from
the Southern States which may be reorgan
ized under the policy of President Johnson,
In Die foregoing letter, however, wo have
Die first development ot a new plau, by
which the object of the extremists cau be
accomplished by a short road, so far as one
branch ot Congress is concerned. It is to
get possession of the Clerk ot the House of
Representatives, aud make him do what the
notorious Emerson Ethridge attempted, re
fuse to receive the credentials ot members
from tho reorganized StatCB.and thus "leave
them out in tho cold." This would be a
high-handed measure,to be sure. The Clerk
has no right to re|ect the credentials of any
one claiming a seat, or to decide who are
or who aro not members. That is tbe duty
of tho House itself, acting upon the repor t
of the proper committee.
The Clerk of the House may, however,
be made of b’tler materials thuu Wendell
Phillips and his friends imagine. He may
decline to become their instrument. Bui
the question ot the right of the members to
seats inustcome up, in any event, and be du
termiued. The Republican majority-
counting all the members who were elect
ed as anti-copperhcad—is more than two-
thirds. If they, enm'ime, disapprove of the
President's policy, of course they will not
admit members Iroin States reorganiz 'd un
der it. This would irt most unfortunate for
those Slates, but the evil could be endured.
The question would then be remitted direct
ly to the people ol the States, whore mem
bers had slant lie doors ol I he House in the
taco of liie reorganized States, aud there
could be iiltlc doubt of the result. An en
tire revolution ol parties would probably
ensue, aud tho President's policy triumph,
Lii.c dn and Johnson were elected by an
overwhelming inljirity oi the electoral col
leges; hut Die ddl renco.in the popular vote
for them and tlicir cumpetltora was only iu
the r.a'io rd V, to 4">. The injustice to the
reorganized States,and totheuation through
the n, w uld cause this difference to vanish
like mists before Die rising run. The pen-
>le oi Die States Iiave not yet lost all sense
f right—they are yet williug to respect the
authority ol the Constitution < f the United
States, having spent millions ot money and
given rivers ol blond to compel the rebels to
do Die same. Thu appeal from intoxicated
leaders to Die Holier people, will show that
blie former «ie "nckoning without their

their verdict.

BRECKINRIDGE'S ESCAPE.
Uou. J. 0. Breckinridge, accompanied by
ald-dc-cauip (Japt .1. Wilson, his faithful
war sorvant Thomas, Col. Taylor Wood
and two Con federate soldiers, arrived at
Oardcnus on the lllh ultimo in an open
boat of about one ton burthen, from the
coast of Florida. This party, after the cap
ture of the President of the late Ropublic,
made their way to the St. John’s river, where
they procured a boat in which they procecd-
eu up Dial river until they readied a point
due west of Indian river, near the head of
navigation. At St. John's C'ol. Taylor Wood
joined Die parly, having been captured by
the command of Gen. Wilson which cap
tured Mr. Davis, but he made good his us-
cane the same night.
The small boat was hauled across the
country from the Si. John’s to ludiau river,
a distance ol twenty-six miles, and launched
on the ocean. Uu reaching a point called
Gilbert's bar, near the mouth of tho river,
Die boat was beached and dragged across a
sand-spit sixlyr yards, aud launched iu an
iulel communicating wilh the ocean. Ou
this part of the route, Indian parties sup
plied them with scutU provisions ol " cum-

From the inlet near Die mouth of ludiaii

miles, wliiu they beached their boats to

States gunboat or steam transport running
down south between the shore and the
Florida reef observed the party, and the
commander dispatched a boat irom the
vessel to ascertain who they were and what
tliey wero doing there. As Die boat began
to show herself, there was some excitement

weapon ready lor use. They were tempo

impenetrable swamp aud Die waters ol -the

accomplished, and the others having retired
under cover ol tin-* bush, the two Holdters
took lo Die oars" wiili a will,” and pulled
lor Die advancing boat, which tht y met at
about one eighth ol a mile from the shorn.
An officer iu the stern seat ol the gig, with
a revolver in hand, hailed the boat with Die
usual marine question!.
Taylor Wood became immediately the
roughest ’longshore woodsman, wrecker,
and fishurmnu Dial ever lived in Florida.—
"His men were paroled soldiers; they had
to live some lmw; they werehuuting wrecks;
and until tliey could find something betler,
they were subsisting on the rather washy
charily ot the sea—shell fish driven on
shore and turtle’s eggs; tliey meant to gel
as lar as Indian Key, or possibly Ki.y Wes';
they had a boat load ol papers if lie wanted
to Bee them.” And the ready boys pulled
forth tlicir parole documents, winch were
examined and found cmrcct. “The folks
oil shore were ol the same class; had plenty
ot papers—the same—and were trying to
cook diuui-i it they could find any eggs or
shells; wouldu’l the captain like to go along
ashore—he would'be perfectly welcome to
the best they had, and tneir papers, too!’’
Their hospitality was declined—the dietum
"all right" was gtlered, and, "give to, my
boys”—when away shot the gig on tier rtf-
turn voyage to liie steamer—name not

breathed more freely niter Die ioUivicuv,
which had been rattier tedious while await

Shore, having ou boarll a few dozen eggs,
cikes of ciunty-bread, and a few clams, so
small that tliey might pass for muscles.

six hours haviug spoken one vessel ami oh

Tub Internal Taxes.—Wu have at

reference to filled taxes imposed by Dm
United Status Government, aud which have
yet to be paid by tho people ot the Si uii.—
Ti e tax first lo Im paid liy flm people of
Georgia and Alahnnu will be that of 180t,
aud the presumption is that measures lor
the assessment ami collection ol this tax
will be pimnptly instituted. The Secretary
does not allude to any tax on real estate,
and tiiis tends to confirm our information
that ii there is any lax at nil on that kind of
property, it is very light. The lax ou in
comes is five per cent, on all incomes over
$600 and not mom than $5,000. R i ia s been
ruled that this i xi'iupts from any taxation
any incomes of $000 or less, and that if over
$000, only the ex -esa is to bn taxed. If the

Gen, Pillow.—A Murfreesboro' (Ten

Among the former magnates and late
loaders oi the rebellion, who have returned
to eat their leek, is Gen. Gideon J. Pillow.
1 visited him last week at his tnansiou, five
miles from Columbia. The splendid estate
on which his mansion is built is leased out
by tbe government to an enterprising Yan
kee, The family of the General have, how
ever, been allowed to uso the house aud
adjoining grounds. The place is au elegant
one, like some English country seat. Af.er
leaving tho pike to enter the carriage way
upon the grounds, you ride a considerable
distance tnrough a most benutilul grove and
lawn before you get a glimpse of the resi
lience. Gen. Pillow greeted us very affa
bly, aud is quite communicative, indeed,
exceedingly talkative. He appears about
ttfiy years of age—had on a g ay coat,
which I judged to bo his uniform, stripped
of its iusiguia and gilt buttons—not by any
means a man of imposing exterior, but
would p 183 for an intelligent and genial
farmer of the old school.
Tho Gcueral expressed himself as utterly
subjugated, but l should also judge by un
means repentant. He talks in substance, il
uot in exact words, like tills: “We are con
quered; you Yankees are our masters; we
give It up; we are at your metcy; we only
ut k a chance no w lo get a living for our
families, and wo ask it as a favor; wc have
got through with the fight, and though the
South didn't make as good a fight as she
could have doae, still It is over now, aud
wc want peace.” 1 asked him if cousidor-
iug us, os he said, os Hour masters, how it
would be in case ot a war with England or
France. Perhaps lie would prefer to cltango
musters ? The Geueral hesitated, but final
ly said that would depend upon the c ause
taken by the government witli their proper
ty. 1 concluded that the loyalty of tho
General wouldn’t do to bet on yet. The
Genera! Hays lie isn't guilty of treason. He
is willing to bo tried by a jury ot our Geu-
erals, except that Gen. Curtis must not be
on it.

taining to the lollowiiig named offices, on

properly were taken possession ol by the
lorces of the United States, to wit: the 22 1
day ot May, 1805, are hereby appointed to
fill those offices in tacit county, to wit: the

and the several municipal offices ol every
incorporated city or town, whose organiza

This general appointment ot officers is
not Intended to revoke any special appoint

EXTENSIVE SALf
filled by incumbents who arc loyal to the
United riiatex Government, I reserve the
power to remove any one who may be ex
ceptionable in Olis respect; and I earnestly
iuvoke the loyu! ci.iz-us of each county to
give mo timely, ami Die moil authentic in
formation that can lie procured, iu regard
to any officer who is 'obnoxious to this nori-
< in objection.
Beeoud—Thi’g) several rfthera, lief ire
they enter upon the discharge of the duties
oi their respective offices, shall take and
subscribe Die amms'y oath prescribed in
liie President's pn elxmathm of the 29tb
.May, 1805, and burnt immediately transmit
the oath so taken to tliir office. At the end
ol the amnesty oath,alter the word ".-lave?,’’
must be added the 'fflrds, "and will taiih-
iully discharge Die diOics ol my office to
the best iff my all lily." And any one who
may undertake to aci in his official capacity
without rampliaircc with this requisition,
will sul jeet liiiusell to pitui-ihineiit. This,
oath may be talo n In-lore any c 'inmissiom d
officer, civil, mil.lurv or naval, in the service
ol the United Stab a, of befure the judges
of probate, hereby appointed, nr lu ruloirire
appointed by me,after they shall nave taken
the oat It themselves, <n bet tu t ll'c judge ot
the criminal court of Warren county. But
no one can hold any oi these offices who is
exempted in the President's proclamation
limn the bcneti'rt of tbe amnesty, unless
first spi ciaily pardoned by tic President.
Third—In counties which have been din-
oiganizod, or where there are no persons
who can fi!! lire several county offices! eith
er iu consequence of death ov otherwise,
special appointments will tie made immedi
ate.y, w hen the necessity lot such appoint
ment shall be made known to me.
Fourth—The sheriff) hereby appointed,
or in case there lie no sheriffs, the judge ol
probate or the coroner, or any justice of the
peace, in the order which they are here
placed, shall hold an election at the several
prccints in each county, on Monday, the 7 h
day ol August next, tor del< gates to a con
vention, for the purpose mentioned in the
PrcsideiirV-pn-ci'iiiiASiiim—Voters for dele
gates tOclhis convention must possess the
qualifications required by the Constitution
and laws as they existed prtortothe O.h
day of January, 1861, and must also pro
dude a certtncate that they have taken, be
fore a competent officer, ihe amnusly natli
prescribed by the proclamation of the 29th
of May, 1805, wnictv-certificate Bhall be at
tach. d to or accompanied by a copy of the
oath, and no one will be eligible as a mem
ber of this convention who has not also taken
this oath. The sheriff shall give public no
tice of the election by posting up his pro
clamation, or otherwise.
Fifth—Each county aud town entitled to
separate representation, shall be entitled to
be represented In tho convention by tbe
same number oi representatives they were
eutiilod to in the lower branch of the Leg
islature pi ior to the 9,h day of January,
1801.
Sixth— 1 The retmnig officers ol the elrc-
tiou shall give to the persons having the
highest number of votes, a certificate of
election, and the delegates so elected shall
assemble ai the city oi Jackson, on Monday
the l" h day ot August iicxt, and shall or
ganize i convention by electing proper offi
cers, ami adopting necessary rules, and af
ter taking an oatli to support Die Constitu
tion of the United States,may proceed in tbe
discharge ol their duties.
How much precious time will be saved
by this arrangement, is at once manifest. In
little more than a month's time the Conven
tion will be in session, fully empowered to
address itself to the great work of recon
structing the Constitution of the State. The
need is pressing; and the provision is im
mediate. None are ex.vpted by tbe Gov*
ernor whom tho President himself has not
excepted. There are no needless restric
tions or delays—no unrolling of red tape to
invest with awe his great but temporary of
fice. Witli patriotic zeal, with manly di
rectness, lie at once inaugurates a plan to
relievo the peopled! Mississippi from the an
archy into which they have fallen, and to
restore to them the full privileges ot nation
al representation and of civil rule.
The Governor adds that the commanding
General of the State has kindly one red his
forces lor the protection ol persons ami the
apprehension ot ofl'enders against the laws.
Where the citizens are too remotg from the
military posts, they are encouraged to form
a country patrol tor the arrest of ofi'enders.
Tliusan entire harmony ol aim will subsist
between the citizens ol the Stale and the
military powers that occupy it—a harmony
of action which will encourage a unison of
feeling, until the Legislature under the new
Constitution will take charge ot the offices
aud functions for which provisional arrange
ments have been made, as was stated above.
From the simple and wise arrangements
made by Gov. Shut key, we think it likely
that Mississippi will be one of the first ol
the States to resume her place in the Union
Irbttr which she was one ot the first to se
cede.—Augusta Transcrijii, I2f/i.
