BeconatrncUou and Emigration,
One pressing need of reconstruction, tho New
York Tirm says, la strikingly exemplified in tho
returns of the Commissioners of Emigration for
the month of April. Those returns do certainly
present some strange lealurcs, whatever need
there may be for reconstruction to change them.
Says the lima: "Five years ago It was alleged
and believed that the existence of slavery re
pelled strangers from the South. Slavery no
longer exists, yet of more than twenty-five
thousand immigrants landed at this port last
mouth, only flve^go to Arkansas, five to Ala
bama, one to Florida, thirty-eight to Louisiana,
two to North Carolina, ten to South Carolina,
one hundred and sixty-three to Texas, and fifty-
five to Virginia. All these States get but two
hundred and seventy-seven, while Illinois alone
takes two thousand six hundred and twenty-five,
New England more than two thousand, and
even the inhospitable Canada nearly three hun
dred. The South has most urgent need of this
laboring element; she bss land In abundance,
and of the sort which 'when tickled with a hoe
will laugh with a harvestyet in consequence
of the unsatisfactory condition of political and
social aflairs, tho brawn and muscle ot Europe
turn away to tho comparatively sterile North,
One hundred thousand skilled agriculturalists
lrom Europo or elsewhere might redeem an em
pire below the Ohio river. But ‘the situation
deters them, and until the perfect restoration of
order and the complete rehabilitation of the peo
ple, no considerable current of immigration will
set in that direction.”
"Perfect restoration" will, beyond a doubt, se
cure partial immigration to the South, but it will
be long, we apprehend, notwithstanding the fer
tility of nnr soil and the vast resources of the
South, before the tide of immigration West, will
be turned South. The South’s reliance for labor’
is tho freedmon in her midst, and will bo so for
more than one decade of timo, if we are not
much mistaken, and it would be well if our peo
ple would seriously turn their attention to this
important consideration. Individual and com
pany enterprise may introduce into the South
immigrating parties, but tho extont of this will
bo very limited in comparison with tho demands
for labor. To regulate, therefore, tho labor that
may bo obtained in our midst, is the first grand
consideration to which tho Southern people
must turn their attention, else our Holds will
grow up in taros, and industry become paralyzed
throughout the whole Southern domain. To
what a wretched situation will the South bo then
reduced!
Tho Stay Law and the Stato of the
Country-
Wo havo before us a pamphlet copy of a
speech delivered, by request, beforo the Georgia
Legislature, some twelve months ago, by W. T.
W. Napier, Esq., n woll-known citizen of Bald
win county in this State, which has been issued
from the pres* of J. W. Burke & Co., Macon,
and which we aro advised is for sole at B. B.
Crew & Co.’s netei emporium in this city, the
subject being “ Tho Stay Law and the State ol
the Country.” The author of this speech has
earned somo reputation ns a popular lecturer.
He is most emphatically an original thinker, and
gives expression to his thoughts generally, In an
aphoristic Blylc, that impresses, most favorably,
his audience. With regard to the speech now
before us, and the zealous efforts of Mr. Napikii
in behalf of tho “ stay law,” we have this to say,
that it will both interest and amuse the reader.
By this it must not bo understood that wo en
dorse, as a wholo, the speech of our Baldwin
county friend. On tho subject ol the "stay
law” the wisest, the most benevolent, and the
most learned In tho legal profession, diflor. For
the present wo think It best to have no wrang
ling over that difference). This the condition oi
the country, the distress that prevails, tiie anoma
lous condition ot our own State government,
prohibits. We pass by, therefore, the argumont
ot Mr. Napier, and will only select one or two
paragraphs from his speech, which we think will
Indnce the reade r to call at Crew’s and secure
a copy of this original, aud In many respects
eloquent production.
Says Mr. Napier, In relerring to a resump
tion of specie payments :
“It is an inopportune time to put the financial
guillotine In operation. Too many one-armed
soldiers would be decapitated, aud too many
brave and patriotic sires, who were prodigal of
their means and wasteful of their blood, would
be buried forever under the mud-sills ot poverty.
I would as soou go upon an expedition to yon
grave-yard, and make a requisition upon its
palefaced population (or life, health, and breath,
as to think ol a resumption ot specie payment
at tliis present Juncture ot affairs. A voleauie
eruption of the mines of the universe would
possibly give the country tho ability to redeem
its liabilities in coin. The lion'may think that
ho is in close proximity to his prey—he may
lick bis gums, roll ids tongue, hiB mouth may
water for the blood of his victim, and he may
he in the act of pouncing—but I hardly think
this Legislature, composed oi so many noble
and generous-bearted men, will allow him, Just
at this lime, to satisfy his voracious maw.”
Again he says:
“Thohigh-toned, liberal-minded,elevated, and
Inst, would compromise and settle upon equita
ble and fair terms, taking everything into cousid-
alion; but there Is another class who would not
—for Instance, one of those misers which you
occasionally see, who will take hold of an eagle-
half, and grasp it so tightly that, “ It it was a
sure enough bird,” it would havo to relinquish
all claims upon life. Such a man as that, when
he leaves this vale ol tears, never expects to as
cend to Heaven, nor to descend to that country
where the snow never falls, but imagines that he
will establish bis head ortfeofA-quartorsln a gold
or silver mine. Think you any concessions
could be obtained from a man of that description
any further than the law allows? I am talking
sense and truth, when Isay that it would be Just
as easy to compromise with tho Devil for the
soul of John A. Murrell as to settle with him
for anything less than the lace of the note calls
for."

Go to Crew’s, wo repeat, and get a copy of
the speech. It will coat you only twonty-five

A. Reminiscence or IT TO.
We notice in the Savannah Neva A Herald
tho following Interesting reminiscence. It Is em
braced In a letter from one of tho Florida cor
respondents of that journal, dated at Fernandlna,
tho 3d Instant:
" A baronial mansiou erected on Cumberland
Island is known as " Dungenness.” It was once
the estate ot Mt^jor General Nathaniel Greene, ol
revolutionary fame. Hero In the rustic burial
place ol tho estate repose tho ashes of his wife
Dungenness was a charming placo; Us depen
dent grounds were adorned with olive and oraugc
groves, and shrubbery in endless variety from
every quarter of tho globe. Haro the date palm
of Arabia might be seen growing In oriental
stateliness by the side of Palestine’s golden
acacias. Its proprietor, a gentleman ol fortune
and culture, whose hospitality was princely, left
the estate In charge of tho servants when the
Fedoral forces took Fernandlna. Servants, li
brary, paintings, furniture, disappeared. Then
the house remained awhile tenantiess. At length
many lamilles of Ireodmen took up their abode
in Us deserted halls, subsisting meanwhile by'the
manufacture of olive oil and Indifferent garden
ing. Not long ago it was reported, upon whnt
authority I know not, that Dungenness was to bo
repaired and relurnished. The negroes, how
ever, still continued to occupy It up to last week,
when a flro, accidental or designed, loft nothing
to mark the scene of so many pleasant memories
but blackened walls and smouldering ruins."
And thus has passed away one of those histo
ric mansions so long the seat ol Southern hospi
tality, so beautiful, so renowned, and so sacred
by reason of its surroundings. Greene and
“ Light Horse Harry,” what memories do
not these names invoke? Then and note how
great, how vait the distinction I The future,

The Radical party in New Jersey hag hope
lessly split in twain on the question of black
suffrage, and the distress thereat among the
faithful is really painful to people Afflicted with
a charitable bias. The same elements of discord
arc at work among the party in other States
where it has hitherto been predominant, and the
signs indicate the probability of its dissolution
at no remote period. A party moved by no
higher objects than. that which characterizes
Radicalism cannot endure. The madness and
passion which gave to it its ascendancy must
soon pass away. It had Us origin in diseased
minds, and drew Us strength and growtli from
the violence and corruption of the times. A so
ber, wholcsomo popular sentiment must neces
sarily prove fatal to it j and what is now taking
place in New Jersey will soon be occurring in
every other Stato In that direction. Tho leaders
of the party see it, and hence their efforts to
build up an organization of the kind at the South.
Trouble with the Stevens Faction.—
The Washington correspondent of the Balti
more Sun, commenting upon the announce
ment that Mr. Kelly, of Pennsylvania, had
gone directly to Now Orleans instead ot follow
ing Senator Wilson through the Atlantic States,
says the chango of programme is owing to the
fact that a largo majority ot the journals have
como to tho rescue of Senator Wilson, against
the statements expressed in the published enrd
of Thad. Stevens looking to confiscation. It is
alleged that Judge Kelly thinks os Mr. Stevens
does, and that the difference between tho latter
and Senator Wilson bos created considerable
trouble in the minds of the Radicals.
Railroad Competition.—The lesson taught
by penny postage that cheapness promotes pop
ularity and profit, is being enforced in railway
travel. Two lines between Boston and Port
land arc now engaged in a competition as to
which can carry passengers at the cheapest rates.
They have reduced their fares to some points to
less than half what was charged before tho war,
and each is making every effort to induce pas
sengers to prefer ono ronto over the other. The
consequence is that the number of passengers
havo trebled on both roads, and they are making
more money than ever before.
Onio.—Three men were hung at Cincinnati,
for murder, a fow days ago, and it is announced
in tho papers that there U a criminal of the same
sort now In jail at Dayton, sentenced to go up In
a week or two hence. Ohio is doing a heavy
business In the hanging line. It is a startling
fact, but one that will not ho denied by parties
having regard to truth, that in all tlioso parts
whero radicalism is in the ascendant crimes of
the most appalling grade aro tearfully on tho in
crease. Such, however, is but tho history of
radicalism in all countries where it lias flourished.
A motfon was made, by Dr. R. B. Andereon,
that the chair appoint a commutes of seven, to
prepare business for the mooting, when thefol-
lowiug named gentlemen were appointed: R. B.
Anderson, W. P. Brown, JackBon Graham, H.
W. Howell, John Miner, 8. G. Howell, and E.
J. Camp. ' ’
Tho committee retired for a short time; re
turned, and reported the following:
Your oommittoe report that they have'consid
ered tho condition of tho county In reference to
the destitution of so many of her citizens, and
regret to say that there is an alarming want for
the necessary subsistence of man throughout the
whole county; and, ntiless some speedy relief is
offered, many will be compelled to suffer. Wo
find two classes of our population In this condi
tion : First, those who aro utterly unable to pro
cure bread, and no prospect of having anything
with which to buy; second, those who, although
they have no means to procure present supplies,
will, within a few months, (so soon as they can
realize upon tho growing crop) be able to meet
promptly any engagement they could make to
get bread, by which immediate relief can be ob
tained.
Your committee feel it their duty to state that
this condition Is not tho Tesult of a want of in
dustry upon the part of her citizens, but is attri
butable to the disastrous failure of two successive
crops, following Immediately alter a devastating
war.
We, therefore, recommend the Inferior Court
to appoint an agent, duly authorized, to proceed
West and purchase on time, and by donation
procure as much corn as will relievo the pressing
necessities of this people.
Aware of the frequent calls whioh have been
made upon the peoplo oi the West, and pro
foundly grateful for the noble manner In which
they have responded to these calls, we had hoped
that this county might be spared the necessity
of applying abroad lor aid; and whilst we can
not realize this hope, we would not ask our
friends West to give to our entire destitute, but
sell to ua on a credit, giving us an opportunity
to relieve ourselves. And by those who now
have no means, nor any prospect for the present
year of having, with which to buy, a donation
from the bounties of those who have, would be
thankfully received.

ten days. The prospect for food and vegetables
is good. The negroes, in most instances, are
working better tbau they did last year, but what
they will do when hot weather comes and elbow
grease Is needed, is quite doubtful, and a matter
ol the most seriobs apprehension among the
farmors. There is the greatest possible dearth
of provisions in tho country, and the exorbitant
figures at which they ore obtained will bankrupt
almost every farmer In tho country, many of
whom are discharging their hands, having no
money or credit. With favorable seasons, there
cannot bo enough corn made to support half the
people twelve months.
Another correspondent writing tho Bamo pa
per from Wilkinson county, says:
The planters generally havo planted largoly of
cotton. Vcrj few iu this vicinity havo planted
one-half of their crops in corn and grain. I
think it would bo Bafo to say that five-eighths of
the land In cultivation Is planted in cotton, and
the remainder In corn. As for wheat, rye, oats,
Ac., there is so little of theso planted they scarce
ly deserve to bo mentioned, though this year
would have been propitious for small grain had
it only been planted. Tho corn that is planted,
though late,- looks remarkably flue and nourish
Inj^; noarly all of it having been manured, it
the year proves seasonable, yield a much
richer harvest than last yenr. .The cool nights
and hot days we have had recently, havo proven
very baneful to the young cotton in this section,
much having died from the effects of cold. Thcro
are to be seen many large fields uncultivated
this year, scattered all over the country, which
renders It almost Impossible to give any accurate
Idea of tho amount left uncultivated.
Tho freedmen, with fow exceptions, aro work
ing badly.
Another correspond-** writes from Fort Val
ley, Houston coupty:
With reference to crops, I would say so far as
my Information goes, they are not very promis
ing, if you will except wheat. This looks very
well, though I have seen rust In some places.—
Corn Is late and small, with tolerably good stand.
Oats bid fair to do well, but this is a very uncer
tain crop In this section. I hear almost univer
sal complaints about cotton; many have very
poor stands, and that which has come up is dy
ing vory fast. Serious apprehensions are felt of
failure in this important crop.
Threatening Kentucky.
Previous to the elections in Kentucky, which
took place last Saturday, aud which resulted in
favor ot tho Democrats, the Cincinnati Gazette,
venomously Radical, threw out the following
admonition:
Wo are not authorized to predict that Ken
tucky will be forever free from tho operation of
those wholesome and necessary laws enacted by
Congress for tho restoration of loyal civil gov
ernment in the lately revolted States. In the
event tho terms of reconstruction now offered
the Southern States in the military bill gje re
jected by them, as have been all former offers,
however magnanimous and mild, wo are not
authorized to assure Kentucky rebels that they
will escape the harsher measure of couflscation,
which will certainly como upon tho rebel States.
And if, by a democratic victory, and by what
ever hostile attitudo she might take, she could
resist and stop the reconstruction and settlement
which is now going on in the late Confederate
States, what would bo the result? Does any sane
man iinngine that tho nation Is going to stop and
submit to a reaction of rebellion ? The rejection
of terms by tho Confederates has only brought
more stringent requirements. If theso are to be
revised, tho penalty ot a juBt confiscation of the
properly ol the leading rebels will surely follow.
And can it be supposed that the inhabitants of
Kentucky, who cast their lot Id with the rebels,
aud who will have prolonged the state of war,
will bo exempt?
Military Commission at New Orleans.—
Gen. Sheridan has issued an order organizing a
military court to try a plantation overseer named
Walker, on a charge'of having killed a negro,
and such othor cases as may como before it. The
sessions of the court will bo held in New Or
leans. This is the first inetanco ot the exercise
of tho authority conferred upon the command
ers of departments by the third section of the
reconstruction law, which declares that they
shall have power to organize military commis
sions or tribunals for tho trial of offenders.
The Boston Boot and Snoa Trade.—The
Shoe and Leather lteporter, of the 2d, says
There has not been a great demand for goods
the past week, but business has been fair for the
season, and the quantity of goods shipped has
been in excess ol former years at the samo time.
Thcro is considerable firmness in the market and
somewhat higher prices are obtained for seasona
ble and deslrablo goods, but the advance on tho
manufactured article as yet baa not kept pace
with the market for stock, which continues high,
while the tendency is to still higher rates, witli a
short supply and signs of still greater scarcity,
especially for the heavier lines of upper leather.
The manufacturers are now making up goods for
the fall trade, principally on advance orders,
which, with tho present aspect of the trade, is a
wise course to pursue, as too much caution can
hardly be observed in overstocking the market
for tho fall trade and forcing it into the position
it was last year. The buyers who have and are
now giving orders are considered to bo doing
right as regards prices, for with tho prospect
ahead the manufacturers must either got an ad
vanced price for boots and shoes or suspend active
operations in order to be insured against loss.
The Southern Republican Partt.—Tom.
Conway, ono of the political missionaries and
mischief-makers now traveling through the
South, writes from Raleigh to a Northern paper
as follows:
The Republican party in tho South is fast be
coming a power of acknowledged influence and
respectability. I have already addressed ten im
mense audiences in various places, and blacks
and whites mingled harmoniously. I have not
been disturbed in any case.
The Bridgeport Bridge.—Tho Chattanooga
Union of yesterday aays: The train from Nash
ville on Monday, was delayed two hours by an
accident which happened to the bridge at Bridge
port. One ol the supports had become rotten
and was on the point of being carried away
when discovered. The necessary repairs have
been made and tho train from Nashvillo came
through on time yesterday.
Tns Montana Mines.—The Montana Pott,
published at Virginia City, asserts that Montana
is the richest mineral country in the world. In
I860 the population was less than 40,000, and
tho yield of gold was $18,000,000. In the same
year Idaho produced $17,000,000, Colorado $17,-
000,000, Nevada $16,000,000, Oregon $8,000,000.
California, with a population more than ten
times as great, produced $25,000,000.
For the Frontiers.—Tho Montgomery pa
pers notice the departure from that place of two
hundred recently enlisted colored troops, for the
Far West, whither they go to serve against the
Indians. The Ad ter titer says in connection with
their departure:
A considerable number of freedmen assem
bled near tho Market House yesterday, evidently
for the purpose of discussing among themselves
tiro propriety and advantages of enlistiug in the
service against the Indiana. One who seemed
to be the leading spirit of the meeting, and who
was familiarly iiccostedas "Jenkins,” was unal
terably opposed to raising a war with such bar
barous aud unmercifol people, and such good
allots as the Indians; they could knock the cap
out of a five cent piece four hundred yardB, he
had seen one of them do it; 11 a tamo ono could
shoot that well, why, these wild ones that are
raising a fuss in the north-west could kill a man
half a mile, and besides all this, when they catch
a prisoner, they don’t treat him like other gov
ernments, but they cut his ears off and poke his
eyes out with a pegging awl. His listeners
seemed to be not a little affected at his recital ol
the horrible doings of the Indians.
British Honduras.—Advices from British
Honduras report that the Iudian Chief of the
Chichihaw tribe had not been captured os was re
ported. A large British force was under arms,
although the Indians continued at war only with
the Yucatan tribes. An Ex-Confederate Colonel
was prospecting for a colony. A project for
building a railroad from Port Caballo to the Bay
of Fonseca, on the Pacific, was thought of.
And again, says Mr. Napier:
“ In 1861, it was constitutional to break up the
government; and after the war commenced, It
was a common oaying, “ Whip the fight, and
talk about the Constitution afterwards;" but,
when a proposition is before the Legislature for
the relief of the people who have been suddenly
tlirnst from affluence into the lowest depths of
want, the great bug-bear, Constitution, cornea
stalking up in Its hideous proportions. An oath
la the same in war as in peace; a mule in war
cannot be manufactured into a horse at the op
tion of the rider. There are two kinds of sin-
one of omission and one of commission; and if
the Stay law was constitutional during the war,
it 1* constitutional now; and It unconstitutional,
the proper authorities, la not allowing creditors
to collect their debts, were guilty or the sin Of
In those times, Jjtyas constitutional
We Hop* Not.—It is reported that the Demo
cratic managers, in rivalry with the Republicans,
are concocting a plan for sending Democratic
speakers throughout the Southern Slates.
We hope the Democratic managers will do
nothing of the sort. The people of the South
estimate the efforts of the Radical missionaries
at their true value, and there Is no necessity tor
any one to follow them.
Tmc Result.—The only important result of
the Feuian disturbance In Ireland will be an Im
mense emigration to the United States. The
flower ol yonng Ireland will come over and
bloom on American soil. Now, If the Fenian
aid societies can be kept up and made to promote
emigration, they will not be without utility.
Corn for the Destitute.—The Montgomery
Mail of the 7th says: The Bteamer Admiral ar
rived yesterday from Mobile, with 8,000 sacks ot
corn for the destitute in this immediate vicinity.
This is a portion of the cargo of the Purveyor,
which arrived in Mobile Bay last week, and is
contributed by the New York Relief Committee.
Mount Zioh College.—The Charleston
Meut learns that on Sunday afternoon a disas

LL
Mysterious Disai^babanoe.—The Augusta
Ohromcle A Sentinel, Wednesdays, says: "The
community was startled yesterday on bearing
that Mr. Patrick Gray, a member ot the Dry
Goods Houso of Messrs. James A. and Andrew
T. Gray, had suddenly and mysteriously disap
peared.”
Mr. Gray was last seen on the way to his room
on Saturday night, since which time nothing
more has been heard from him. His hat was
found in the possession of u nogro, who stated
that it was taken from the river about a mile be
low Augusta on Sunday morning. The impres
sion prevails that tho missing man wa3 murder
ed, and his body cast into the river.
A Spectacle.—An extraordinary sight was
witoessed in the principal London streets re
cently. Rather more than a thousand of the
most miserable wretches that. ever wore the
garb of humanity formed a procession and
marched in silence trom the neighborhood of
Wapping and WhitecLiapnl to the aristocratic
quarters of St. James' and Belgravia. There
was no disturbance or excess of any kind.—
Every man was in rags, and every form and
face bore unmistakable marks of privation and
distress. A banner or two contained inscriptions
indicative of their character and their wants,
and a lew carried money boxes to receive any
donations that might bo bestowed upon them

riving for more than a week past. The machine
ry is all of tho most approved character, and
tho facilities of tho company for manufacturing
tho best and cheapest goods in their lino will bo
unsurpassed.
Arrested.—Tho Bainbridgc Argus states that
tho man Rcagau, who was committed for tho
stabbing ot a negro woman in Bainbridgo some
timo since, but who subsequently escaped, has
been re-arrested, and lodged in the jail at Albany,
whore ho will remain until tho next Bcssion of
tho Superior Court.
Another Arrest.—Tiie Louisiana Democrat
of tho 1st says Capt. Montgomery, of the B. L.
Hodge No. 2, waa arrested at Alexandria on his
last trip by tho military authorities, charged
with displaying from the mast-head a flag with
a small star. Capt. Montgomery waa not re
leased when the boat left.
Pork vs. Rum.—Tho death ot one person from
the pork disease, in Springfield, lias caused the
peoplo there to abandon pork, pretty generally.
A dozen deaths from rum, remarks one of tiie
"dry” papers, wouldn't frighten them half
touch, nor damago the.trade in.tho least.
Maximilian.—It is not yet certain what has
become of Maximilian, but of ono thing thcro is
uo doubt at all—that the Mexicans aro getting
ready to revolutionize again. Unfortunately for
Mexico tiie largest portion of Its population is
radical.
Revival at Daulonega.—Wo learn through
the Signal that a revival ia going on in tho Bap
tist Church at Dahloncga. Many havo boon
brought to a knowledge of the truth, and attach
ed themselves to the Church.
General Joe Johnston.—The Montgomery
Mail reports that General Johnston is a heavy
loser by the Parkman delulcation. The Goneral
had deposited nil his money in the Selma Na
tional Bank.

Marshal’* Notice.
I call tho attention of Merchants and others
to Sections 828, 882, 833 and 834 of tho City
