, silence. He is an ingenious
debater, and an elocraent de-
In politics he is an ultra State
SX« «id Southern rights man. Pure in
his principles, lofty in his patriotism,bold,
earnest and defiant in Ins advocacy oi
r.rht ho seems like a Rienzi amid tae
dengeneraev of the latter days of the
Romish Empire. As Rienzi was the last
’ e the U*man Tribunes, so I tear Pryor
»iU be the last of the Southern Tribunes.
Virginia has fallen from her high estate,
South is brutalized, sold and lost
forever. The voicas of a few patriots
'iiav sound tho alarm, but their voices are
unheard or unheeded.
I must not omit a notice of Brown
ie the man of mystery and fame.—
Everybody has heard of Brownlow, and
everybody is anxious to see him. It
was partly to see him that I .went to
Knoxville.” He is ot medium size, firm
ly knit together, a brunette in hair, eyes
id complexion. His features are sharp,
pointed and firm, indicating great ener
gy, firmness and courage, physical and
moral. A bright eye gives a flash ot in
telligence to his tace. He is a modest,
quiet, and unpretending man as gentle
as a dove to his friends, but as fierce a3
a hyena to his foes. He has had many
fights, shot several men, and been shot
several times, yet I dare say he has
never yot been in the wrong. It is a
popular error to suppose that because
men have numerous fight that therefore
they are quarrelsome. The filost mis
chievous and quarrelsome men are those
who never fight, while those men who
Are called “duellists,” are the most in
offensive and peaceable men (if let
alone.) that I have ever known. I was #
introduced to Brownlow by Mr. Yancey,
but as he was very busy, I did not see
much of him. I learned that Brown
tow was a popular and much esteemed
man about home. He certainly de
serves to be, and I was glad to hear it.
There were many others in the Con
vention whom I should like to notice but
*pace will not permit. I was pleased to
meet an old friend, Gen. Williams, of
South Carolina. He was Captain of the
Newberry company in the Palmetto
Regiment, and feasted with me ten years
ago in the “halls of the Montezumas.”
T also met my only uncle but one. Dr.
Sam. Sample, of Mississippi. He is an
awful Democrat, and almost shed tears
over my political errors. If there is a
Democratic heaven prepared for th©
faithful, lie will certainly get there.
Outside of the Convention there are a
few celebrities. Last night I met Gen.
Pillow at the ball. The la3t time I saw
him was ten years ago. in the city of
Mexico. He still walks lame, from a
terrible wound which he received at
Chapultepec. He led his division, in
person, in the charge on that castle, and
had his thigh shattered by a grape shot,
made his men take him on a blanket, and
continue the charge with him at their
head. He had some faults, and is an
ambitious and bitter man, but he is as
brave a man as lives, xie is a candidate
for the U- S. Senate, and having such
competitors as Andy Johnson, and “lean
Jimmy Jones,” I wish him entire success.
Mrs. McCord, of New Orleans, the
Editress of the Parlor Magazine, has
been here during the convention. She
is a tall, fine-looking matron, and attract
ed ranch attention. She liked attention,
and she had it. 1

No. 15. * f
I. The islands from Charleston, South,
the abandoned rice fields along the. rivers
for thirty miles back from the sCa, 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 ads of war and the
Proclamation of the President of the
United States.
IL At Beaufort, Hilton Head, Savan
nah, Fernandlna, St. Augustine, and
Jacksonville, the blacks may remain in
their chosen or accustomed vocations;
but on the islands, and in the settle
ments hereafter to be established, no
white person whatever, unless military
officers and soldiers detailed for duty,
will be permitted to reside; and the sole
and 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 tho
President of the United States, the negro
is free and must he 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 be free to select their own work and
residence, but the young and able-bodied
negroes must be encouraged to enlist as
soldiers in the service of the United
States, to contribute their share towards
maintaining their own 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
wilijbe 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 desure to
settle on land, and shall have selected
for that purpose au island or a locality
clearly defined, within the limits above
designated, the Inspector of Settlements
and Plantations will himself, or by such
subordinate officer as he may appoint,
give them a license 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, with 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 su
tlers the opportunity to supply their
necessary wants and to sell the products
of their land and labor.
IY. 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. In order to carry out this svstem 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 bead
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 may arise under the same,
subject to the 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, and protecting their
interests while so absent from their set
tlements ; and will be governed by the
Rules and Regulations prescribed by the
War Department 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 hjp duties.
No change is intended or desired in the
Settlement now on Beaufort Island, nor
will any rights ta property heretofore
acquired be effected thereby.

a given space.
cd. It can do the work in 83 per centlesa time.
3d. It requires 50 per cent, less driving power.
