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 Purser Thomas McManus, of the steamship Fulton, has our thanks for full files of Northern papers, including; the latest dates of all the leading New York dailies. The alarm of fire .last evening was caused by the burning out of a chimney on Oglethorpe Square. '* Cos.

Div. op thk Mississippi, In the B’ield, Savannah, Ga., Jan. 10th, 1565. SPECIAL PIKLD OkDRRH, > ' 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. By order of Maj. Gbn. VT. T. SHERMAN. L. M.
