There are balms for all oar paiu ;
Bat when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our heart*.
And it never comes again.
SVe are stronger, and are better,,
Under manhood’s sterner reign;

Followed youth, with flying feet,

•Something beautiful is vanished.
And we sigh for it again ;
We behold i f everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it nevor comes again.

RECONSTRUCTION AND UNIONISM
IN GEORGIA.
Oen* Sherman, doubtless after consul
tation with Secretary Stanton at Savan
nah, has issued a special order, which
has an important bearing: upon the re
establishment of order and commerce in
the State of Georgia. He sets torth that
it has been represented that the Confed
erate army and armed bands of robbers
are harassing the people of Georgia and
endeavoring to intimidate them m their
efforts to secure life and property and
restore order aud good government in
the State. He therefore makes it known
that the farmers of Georgia may bring to
the markets of Savannah, Fernandina
and Jacksonville, the ordinary meats
and vegetables, as well as their cotton in
limited quantities, and may, with the
proceeds of their sales, purchase their
ordinary family stores; aud he further
says that the people of Georgia are en
couraged to meet in peaceful assem
blages to discuss measures looking to
their safety and good government, and
the restoration of State and National
authority, aud will be protected by the
National army when so doing; and pro
rides, that if any farmer or peaceable in
habitant is molested because of his
Unionism, the offender will be summari
ly punished, and with a severity whose
details he sets forth.
The issuance of this order by Gen.
Sherman is itself an evidence that
it is demanded by the condition
of affairs in the State. It gives proof
of the correctness of the definite
statements we have had as to the holding
of Union meetings in various counties in
the southern part ot Georgia. It shows
that other parts pf the state are ready
to follow the course of the citizens of
Savannah and “accept the position.”—
With such a state of sentiment and with
such protection as Sherman promises for
independent seutiment and action, we
expect speedily to see a general up
rising of the Unionists of Georgia, and a
general co-operation with them of delu
ded and betrayed but now repentant reb
els, tor the rehabiliation of social order,
of commerce and trade, aud of legiti
mate government in the Empire State of
■the South.
Oht. Gowvx, of Boston, eomiug down from
St. fetersburg, through Georgia and Circassia,
when in the. neighborhood of the sea of Azo£
stumbled upon Home oil wells whioh the natives
were working in a very indifferent way, and
which the Col. bought. He then came to Paris
and. London, organized a company, sent out men
to work the wells, and ships to carry to London
and Liverpool the products, and they are now
paying handsome dividends. But what is more
surprising still, the Colonel, in returning lately
from the Black sea to Paris, stopped on the way
at the island of Samos, on the eastern shore of
the Mediterranean, where he found and bought
another oil well. What is still more curious,this
well was spoken of by Herodotus, the Greek his
torian, 45ft years before Christ, and from that
day to this no one has thought of to use this im
portant discovery. 001. Gowan has bought fif
teen acres of ground at the ordinary price of
land on the island.

closed at 200 1-8.

I. The islands from Charleston, South,
the abandoned rice fields along the rivers
for thirty miles back from the sea, and
the country bordering the St. Johns riv
er, Florida, are reserved and set apart
for the settlement of the negroes now
made free by the acts of war aud the
Proclamation of the President of the
United States.
H. At Beaufort, Hilton Head, Savan
nah, Fernandina, St. Augustine, and
Jacksonville, the blacks may remain in
their chosen or accustomed vocations;
but on the islands, an'd in the settle
ments hereatter to be * established, no
white person whatever, unless military
officers aud soldiers detailed for duty,
will be permitted to reside; and the sole
aud exclusive management of affairs will
be left to the freed people themselves,
subject only to the United States mili
tary authority and the acts of Congress.
By the laws of war, and orders of tka
President of the United States, the negro
is free and must be dealt with as such.
He cannot be subjected to conscription
or forced military service, save by the
written orders of the highest military
authority of the Department, under such
regulations as the President or Congress
may prescribe, domestic servants, black
smiths, carpenters, or other mechanics
will bo free to select their own work and
residence, but the young and able-bodied
negroes must be encouraged to enlist as
soldiers in the sendee of the United
States, to contribute their share towards
maintaining their ow'n freedom and se
curing their rights as citizens of the
United States. Negroes so enlisted will
be orgarized into companies, battalions
and regiments under the orders of the
United States military authorities, and
paid, fed and clothed according
to law. The bounties paid on enlistment
may, with the consent of the recruit, go
to assist his family and settlement in
procuring agricultural implements, seed,
tools, boats, clothing and other articles
necessary for their livelihood.
111. Whenever three respectable ne
groes, heads of families, shall desire to
settle on land, and shall have selected
for that purpose an island or a locality
clearly defined, within the limits above
designated, the Inspector of Settlements
and Plantations will himself, or by such
Bul>ordinate officer as he may appoint,
give them a licen.se to settle such island
or district, and afford them such assist
ance as he can to enable them to estab
lish a peacable agricultural settlement.
The three parties named will subdivide
the land, under the supervision ot the
Inspector, among themselves, and such
others as may choose to settle near them,
so that each family shall have a plot of
not more than (40) forty acres of tillable
ground, and when it borders on some
water channel, w ith not more than eight
hundred feet front, in the possession of
which land the military authorities will
afford them protection until such time as
they can protect themselves, or until
Congress shall regulate their title. The
Quartermaster may, on the requisition of
the Inspector of Settlements and Planta
tions, place at the disposal of the Inspec
tor one or more of the captured steamers,
to ply between the settlements and one
or more of the commercial points here
tofore named in orders, to afford the set
tlers the opportunity to supply their
necessary wants and to sell the products
of their land and labor.
IV. Whenever a negro has enlisted in
the military service of the United States,
he may locate his family in any one of
the settlements at pleasure, and acquire
a homestead and all other rights and
privileges of a settler as though' present
in person. In like manner negroes may
settle their families and engage on board
the gunboats, or in fishing, or in the
navigation of the inland waters, without
losing any claim to land or other advan
tages derived from this system. But no
one, unless absent on Government ser
vice, will be entiled to claim any right to
land or property in any settlement, by
virtue of those orders.
V. Iu order to carry out this system of
settlement, a General Officer will be de
tailed as Inspector of Settlements and
Plantations, whose duty it shall be to
visit the settlements, to regulate their
police and general management, and
who will furnish personally to each head
of a family, subject to the approval of
the President of the United States, a
possessory title in writing, giving as near
as possible the description of boundaries,
and who shall adjust all claims or con
flicts that arise under the same,
subject to t& like approval, treating
such titles altogether as possessory. The
same General Officer will also be charged
with the enlistment and organization of
the negro recruits, aud protecting their
interests while so absent from their aet
tlements; and will be governed by *the
Rules and Regulations prescribed by the
War Depart jient for such purpose.
VI. Brigadier General R. Saxon is
hereby appointed Inspector of Settle
ments and plantations, and will at once
enter on the performance-of his duties.
No change is intended or desired in the
Settlement now on Beaufort Island, nor
will any rights to property heretofore
acquired be effected thereby.

Maj. Gen. W. T SHERMAN.
