There are gains for all oar losses 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; 3till we feel that something sweet Followed youth, with flying feet, Anl will never come again. •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. (From the N. Y. Times, Jan. 21.) 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. Stocks and Gold —At the New York Evening Exchange, on the 20th, the Stock market on call was very heavy and a shade lower after call. Gold sold, after call, up to 207, down to 205 1-2, and closed at 200 1-8.

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. By order of Maj. Gen. W. T SHERMAN. * L. M.
