HOW TO OBTAIN THE HKHAI.D REG
ILAHIV.

CAPITA!. AND LABOR WASTED *A
, GEORGIA. .
We have had occasion more than once to
call the attention of the people of Georgia to
the necessity of inviting, in some ioimal man
ner, capital and labor from abroad to effec
tuate the immediate development of the ag
ricultural and commercial resources of the
State; and we recur to the interesting sub
ject again with the hope of inducing some of
our leading men, who have the practical
ability and leisure, to embark in an enter
prise which promises so much for the gen
eral weal.
All accounts (torn England and the Conti
nent of Europe represent these countries as
beiDg surfeited with an accumulation of un
employed capital, looking anxiously for in
vestment. “Capital abhors repose as Nature
abhors a vacuum.” The deuse population of
England and of the Continent of Europe tills
up the compass of their now restricted terri
tories. There arc not, and cannot be lands
enough in market there t<l appease for a mo
ment the morbid appetite of capital. Every
acre almost, is occupied and cultivated. The
very agriculturists themselves crave invest
ments tor their unemployed capital. Nearly
all branches of industrial pursuit—as com
merce, domestic trades, mining and rnanit
factures, are oppressed by a plethora of capi-
tal. The great, leading interest of England*
especially, is commerce, and it is therefore to
the interest of English capitalists to apply
their capital so as to extend the area of com
mercial enterprise, and quicken and multiply
production in those .countries with which
their commerce is transacted. Georgia offers
an alluring field for the employment, of capi
tal—not only English capita* but French ,
capital, German capita), or the capital of any
nation’or individual that possesses it, The
two great wants of Georgia, and, indeed, of
the whole South, are capital and emigration.
With capital and the proper sort, of emigra
tion, Georgia will soon be iu a condition to
pour her vast treasures, agricultural and
commercial, into the lap of ttie world. The
most sagabioua capitalists, whether they be
Northern, English, French, or any other
capitalists, will lie recipients of the golden
harvests now lying in abeyance.
This postulate established, acknowledged
and appreciated, every citizen ot Georgia,
in the light- of its truth and significance*,
cannot but feel an interest in the speedy
adoption of some method by which a portion
of this vast excess ot unemployed capital and
unproductive labor may be transferred thith
er for activity in utilizing and expanding the
downcast interests of his own State. The
resuscitation ot her crippled energies and
resources after the desolation of a four year’s
war is a consummation devoutly desired by
all.
Immigration is indispensable to this re
sult. The sudden emancipation of the ne
giofis has iett the planters of the State with J
large tracts ot productive lands on their j
hands, which they cannot hope to hare pro
fitably cultivated, and which with its heavy
taxes, will prove an unproductive, if not an
impoverishing, investment. After reserving
enough to be cultivated by themselves and
their sons, they might in many cases sell
small and valuable farina to emigrants. In
deed the desire for owning large farms, so
common in this State, has greatly retarded
the increase of its population, and kept it per
haps more than one-half below the number
ihe soil can well support. The constant and
natural tendency to individual monopoliza
tion of large and unproductive traits of the
domain of the South, operating as it did. to
exclude active, diversified and intelligent
labor, was unquestionably the greafcst evil
resulting from the existence of slavery.
But these suggestions, important as they
are in our humble judgment, will be of no
practical utility except some scheme can b
devised to put them in execution.
We therefore venture to suggest the for
mation ol an Immigration Society in this
city, on principles purely benevolent and
patriotic, with brahehes in all the counties
in which an interest is felt in the matter.
It Vituld he necessary to have an agent iu
Savannah to collect information in regard to
lands offered for sale in different portions of
the State, and to assist immigrants or their
agents in securing suitable lauds at reasona
ble prices, ft might he made the duly ol au
officer of each county society to collect infor
mation concerning all land? offered for sale
in the county and transmit it to the r.n-ent in
Savannah. It would be indispensable to the
full success of the plan to send a compe
tent agent or agents to England, Scot
land, Ireland, Germany and other European
countries for Ihe purpose of spreading infor
mation before the people, making known
the inducements offered to emigration
and giving counsel and aid to those who may
desire to emigrate ; and hi;; mission thou'. !
have particular reference to the refutation of
the ridiculous fallacy prevalent, not only in
Europe, but in many ot the Northern States,
that, owing to. climate and topographical
causes, Georgia is unsuited to white labor.
This arrant imposture upon popular creduli
ty. at home and abroad, can easily be ex
pressed by a truthful and judicious exposi
tion of facts as Jto the healthful geniality of
1 ,lml is not surpassed by anv other
a the world.
This plan, It seems to Us, pfOmlsls suc
cess. It is iio scheme for speculaitug-nn J
making money, but a plan, philanthropic iu
spirit, and aiming at the improvement of the
State. By eniistiug great numbers of ciu
zens in the enterprise, ample information van
be secured, aud all tiie facilities enabling
immigrants to make judicious selection? of
land cau be promptly furnished. The advan
tages of locating iu our State may be placed,
by an intelligent agent, or agents,
in a strong light. The lands are improved,
in good heart, healthy and compaialively
etuap. English and Scotch immigrants ami
others speaking the English language, would
find cougenial society and a hearty welcome.
Their introduction among us would prove a
great blessing to the State. The means
which they would 'bring with them,- the
money they would spend among us, their ad
Tnirable system of husbandry, and the pro
ducts of their industry, would Impart uew
life anil vigor, to our population. Who so
strangely blind as not to be able to perceive
that with the realization of the advantages
we have so ieebly depicted, the desolations
caused by the war would rapidly disappear, j
and our beloved State would soon rejoice and j
blossom as the rose.
It is a great work, but it may easiiv bo ac
complished by concert, disinterested effort,
and such sacrifices as patriotism will readily
place on the altar of cur country.
And who of Georgia’s gifted sons are pre
pared to exhibit their devotion to her imper
iled interests bj- a bold and maniy effort for
their preservation and improvement, through
this, or some better scheme, presented for
their consideration? In the name of the
people of Georgia, and in behalf of the suf
fering cause of humanity, we invite them
to enter at once upon the great work of re
demption, and by its glorious achievement
secure a cjvil crown of distinction far more
brilliant and enduring than that of the groat
military chieftain of the age.

By the arrival of the steamer Idaho, which

LETTER PROM NEW YORK.
(Letter from our Special Correspondent.]
Nf.w York, Sept. 0,3 P. M.
t send you all the report of the. New York
State Democratic Convention up to this hour.
It is doubtful who will be its nominees, but
the tenor of Mr. Winfield's speech (its tem
porary chairman,) can probably be taken for
a foreshadowing of the resolutions which’
will bo adopted:
The Ae*v Yoik Stale,Democratic Convrn*
tion.
AlhaKy, Sept.
Soon after 12 o’clock the Convention was
called to order by Peter Cagger, Secretary of
the State Central Committee, on whose mo
tion Hon. H. Winfield was chosen President
pro ten i.
On motion of Mr. Brewer of Jefferson, E.
O. Perrin and A. P. Aphar were appointed
temporary Secretaries.
The list of delegates was then called, the
names of the constestants being omitted for
the present.
On taking the chair Mr Winfield said he
would not detain tiie Convention with anv
extended .remarks. You have met, he said,
to discharge a duty as important as any that'
has devolved upon the Democracy of New
Y ork for many years; not ot so much im
portance from tiie nature of foe offices to
be filled as iu view of the cri sis through
which the country has just passed. Wc have
just emerged from a great struggle, wherein
the Government has reasserted its strength
and added one more pledge to the perpe
tuity of our institutions.
The party of one idea, which has for some
years past had control of the General Gov
ernment, and has administered the -affairs of
our own State, is soon to pass into that ob
livion from which, in his opinion, it were
tar better for the true interests oftliecoun
try it had never emerged. The work of re
construction and of restoring harmony must,
therefore, devolve upon that old party which
has administtned the government of onr
country through so many years of its pros
perity. To restore harmony throughout the
country is part of the mission of that party
which has sent you here to inaugurate the
pious work, and if you justly appreciate the
duty, your deliberations will be as harmonious
as the importance of the occasion demands
He took it for granted that an abiding
love of the Union and a determination
to maintain it at any sacrifice, which
baa always been the creed of oar
party, will constitute the platform; that,
as we love the Union, we shall extend the
right hand of friendship all who hold the
same patriotic convictions. If we undertake
to speak at all of public functionaries, it will
be to say that so lar as they are in favor of
maintaining the government with the
rights «f the States unimpaired, we shall
endorse them.
As to the question tff suffrage it must of
necessity belong only to the States concerned.
It will be the duty ot onr party, as it ever
was in the past, to look after and care for the
scarred veterans who have returned to their
homes to receive the honors due them. They
come to ns, not’necessarily as pensioners on
the public bou oty, but whenever their intc r
csts arc at stake we stand pledged to see
that (hose interests arc respected. No claim
of theirs must remain unpaid or unadjusted.
And as for those who have returned maimed
and scarred and unabie to toliow those pur
suits from which the perils of our country
called them, they shall receive at the hands
of the Democracy, as did the heroes of the
Revolution, that pension which is their due
to support and cheer their declining days.

. Yesterday- the Haytien despatch steamer
Genrard put into this port for coal, water.
Ac., and, as the little affair may- lie fraught
with events of vital import to this country.
I hasten to give you such items as I could
gather. -
The Geffrard is manned by negroes, with
the exception of the captain and chief engi
neer, who are French. The eeptnin is bearer
ol despatches to Washington, asking, it is
presumed, for aid to quell the rebellion in
Hayti. What a glorious opportunity to get
rid ol's large number of nigger troops; and.
no doubt, Mr. Johnson won t refuse such aid
to our sister Republic, as w,e have a large
surplus of colored veterans on hand. It is to
be hoped those gentlemen of color belonging
.to the Geffrard. coming on sucli an errand,
will be politely treated by New Yorkers. —
The vessel proceeds to New York to fie
caulked, refitted, Ac., when she is coaled.

•Late intelligence, from the United States,
of (lie recent capture of American ships in
Ihe Pacific by the Confederate States Ship
Shcnaojoali. in that sea, leads me to address
y, it this note.
As soon ns it was known in F.nrope that
the war in the United Suites was ended by
the final surrender of ull the Confederate
forces lu the field, immediate measures were
taken bv the proper Confederate authorities
here to arrest the cruise of that ship by or
ders issued to her commander, directing that
on their receipt lie should immediately cease
all hostilities and bring his ship to the near
est convenient port to have her there forth
with disarmed and her crew discharged, and
those orders were sent through channels
most likely to ensure their speedy and certain
delivery to every- point in those distant seas
where the Shonar.doali would necessarily
touch, or with which she would be in com
munication. I? is to tie presumed, therefore,
that bar hostile cruise lias long since ended.
In the condition of the Confederate gov
ernment at the termination of the war the
duty of doing this promptly was fully recog
nized by- its representatives in Europe.

THECOMINC PESTILENCE-
The Ravages of the Cholera—lts
Westward Progress.
The latest intelligence from Europe con
firms the apprehension that the Asiatic chol
era, iu its most malignant form, is on its
march, and advancing steadily westward.
The representations ol medical-men that it
was generated in Arabia aud Egypt, and
would probably not-pass beyond those coun
tries, lmve not'proved correct it originated
in neither country, but came thitber, as at
former periods, from India, for so many cen
turies its home and first starting place. \Ve
have the following statement, showing its
presence there, front the Times of India:
“Chojgra hasjitokeu out at Aden and in
Lahej. and a requisition has beetrntade to the
Bombay government for three more assistant
surgeons. A famine prevails in the provinces
of Lahej. Mochn, and Hodeida, in Arabia;
and the British authorities at Aden have re-
quested the Bombay Government to send
promptly a ship load, of wheat to Aden to
meet the requirements of tiie people at that
place."
FEARFUL MORTALITY IN EGYPT.
Accompanying the caravans of pilgrims to
Mecca, the pestilence was not long in making
its appeavauce in Egypt. It prevailed in both
countries with Us usual severity. To lie sure
the French physicians at Alexandria attempt
ed to lull the apprehension by declaring that
the type of the disease was mild, and that it
partook largely of the nature of endemic.—
The deadly character of the visitation, as at
tested by Mr- Hale, our Consul-General at
Alexandria, disproved their assertions. An
English gentleman wen had visited Cairo,
t Alexandria and Constantinople, in a letter to
the London Times, made the following decla
ration, which is sufficient to determine the
whole question:
“From a conversation I had in Cairo with
an army doctor of great experience nntong
the natives, as also among the European
community-, I find that the cholera then so
severely raging was Asiatic cholera in its
worst form. The gentleman in question has
been resident many years in Egypt, and seen
cholera At various times and places, and lie
believes the present epidemic to be the worst
he has ever known.
“Tire great percentage of cases and deaths,
Doth iu Alexandria and Cairo, were among
tiie native population, and generally ot the
lower classes, the bad cases taking them off
in an illness of four or six hours, and others
in ten, twelve or fourteen, the symptoms
being.vomiting and diarrhoea, followed by,
cramp. From ray personal observation Ilk
lieve that cholera first attacks those who
five iu close, confined quarters, where there
is no draiuage, where all sorts of filth and
refuse is allowed to accumulate, low diet,
and general bad living, aud from the ex
tremely bad condition of the Nile water, aud,
beyond this, I believe that those who are
constantly brooding over a probability of an
attack are very likely subjects to be ulti
mately taken off, and that habitual free
livers ruu a great danger; but among a
European, or other population, whose resi
dences are not overcrowded, where’ the
streets are kept clean, good drainage, good
water, plain living and ordinary cleanliness,
I consider the danger would be reduced to a
minimum even in-n badly infected place.’’
MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES VISITED.
In July the pestilence had visited Euro
pean and Asiatic Turkey. In the villages of
the Bosphorus it raged with extraordinary
violence and m >rtality. It also made its
fearful way westward to Malta, Sicily, and
Italy-. A letter from Yeletta to London,
dated the 31st of July, gives the follow
ing statements in relation to its progress.
“While accounts received from Alexandria
indicate a roustant decrease of cholera in
that city and throughout Egypt, the disease
lias somewhat increased iu Malta during lift;
past. week.
* * * “The foliowhTg is a summarized
statement ot the course of the malady within
the.last eight or nine days : On the 22d in
stant, after an oppressively hot day and
night, seventeen attacks were reported
throughout the island, in addition to the
military- of whom seven are sail to have
been interred on the 23d. On that and on the
following day there was fourteen new cases
among the civil populating, and seven
deaths, and nearly as many among "the
troops. On the 25th and 26th some twenty
six fresh cases were reported, of which about
half terminated fatally-. On the 27th there
were 22 attacks, seven of which occurred in
Yaletta. Among the military there was only
one case. On the 28th the number of at
tacks reported was 28, and the deaths 12 ;
on the 29th, 31 attacks and 18 deaths ; and
on tie 30th 23 attacks and 12 deaths. Sever
al of the distant villages have returned a few
cases each ; and two cases were reported to
have occurred in tiie neighboring island of
Gozo.
* * * “Letters irom Sicily- state, that,
notwithstanding the absul'dly rigorous en
actments of the Sicilian Board of Health,
some eases of cholera have manifested them
selves in Catania as well as at Palermo.”
During the month of August Spain and
France in their turn have been reached. We
have news of cholera at Port Mahon and
Marseilles; and even sporadic eases at Paris,
and Birmingham in England.
THE CHOLERAIC “CONSTITUTION.”
It is noticeable that when an epidemic
prevails, there is always a predisposition to
diseases bf tiie type or character to which it
belongs. Doctor Farr observed that in Eng
land irom 1825 till 1865 there was a great
tendency to malignant disease of a dysen
teric or choleraic nature. The London
Times remarks a simi'ar tendency now. It
says: .
“Our time, of course, may come. The
cholera is said to be advancing westward
slowly, but surely. The last report was
from Marseilles. In London wc have had a
good deal of that fort of illness which is
supposed to turn into cholera under certain
conditions. We feed sure, however, that if
the cholera comes this way, no quarantine,
no detentions, no fumigation, no lines of de
marcation will keep it out. Thedisease will
appear in many different places at once,
many miles from one another, and all far
away from the-traditional sailor landed at
Rothernilhe. We well remember the spora
dic appearance rtf the disease all over Eng
land in 1832, in villages,'in situations high
and dry, selected for health, in parsonages
where contagion and infection were impossi
bilities.”
PROBABLE ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND.
Tne London Telegraph,- speaking of the
advance of cholera, remarks that dangers
are like wild beasts—look them steadily in
the face, and half Iheir power lo dauijt and
injure is gone; fear them, fly from them, and,
like the. same wild beasts, they advance upon
you, aud take you at a disadvantage. Solace
and counsel are to he drawn from that old
truth, when admitting that a gigantic danger
is now threatening Europe and England
Tiie cholera is on its travels—that fierce and
pitiless plague, which has its residence in the
East, but sallies forth at periodical Intervals
to decimate West, North, and South. From
time to time we hear of the visitation in dis
tant places—deaths by wholesale in Central
Asia, deaths in Southern Russia, regiments
disbanded by death on Indian marches, and
rivers clicked with corpses in the islands of
the Eastern ocean. The last Red Sea news
brought word that Mecca and Medina are
this,year vast lazar-houses of cholera-smitten
victims, the pilgrims perislfmg all along the
roads to the shrines from Jedda and the
southern ports, and Sheiks, who had come
to kiss the Kasha turning "hack in horror,
with their trains, to succumb in tents ard
houses Where they had shut themselves tip
Already Egypt has been reached, and the
fellahs there are perishing* by thousands; so
much so, that the Italian and French harbors
are shut against vessels trom Alexandria
A disease ao horrible, says the Telegraph
that our neighbors call it ‘7a „mt des cKtns •”'
ao fatal, that men say “it begins with death
so agonizing, that tiie spasms and disorgani
zat ions of long maladies are condensed into
a dayi or part of a day, aud the victim,
healthy iu the morning, perishes iu the after
noon) wasted and discolored —such a disease
must ever seem horrible. Even in the coun
try where it is always present less or more—
even In India—familiarity- with fierce atfo.'ks
has 1 bred no lessening of fear. r fhe Hindoo,
in trembling terror, has made u goddess of
“Zerri merri,” and builds temples to her
dreadful power, where he pours ghee and
sprinkles meal and {lowers till his timid heart
brings tiie plague upon Idm. Every Indian
village has some tale of awe and mystery
about the curse w.ilCh comes and goes t*id
comes again, aud hates the river-side crowd
ed with corpses, blue and ghastly, awaiting
the torch ; some tale such as that of a horse
man. with his head covered, who rides at
night down.to the ferry and crosses the
stream, leaving the ferryman dead in his boat,
with one hot, poisonous stream upon his lips,
and disappearing in the districts, which next
day are full of mourners, singing with the
shrieks ot men, women and children in the
convulsions which precede the merciful col
lapse of the frame attacked by cholera.
THE PATHS OF CHOLERA.
Tiie pestilence is wont to roam in the paths
which are made for its progress. Cairo has
not a drain in it; dogs and the sun are the
only scavengers. Alexandria, Constantinople
and the cities of the Mediterranean are gen
erally filthy. They make no preparation
against disease; and when it comes, accept
its mission as the dispensation of Providence.
Cholera invades sucli places and makes havoc
as if it had been invited.
So far the cholera lias followed the same
route as in 1831. It has not, however, made
its way- into Russia aud Poland, as at that
time ; but followed steadily from Egypt to
Sicily, Italy, Spain and France.
But it is hoped"from sanitary- precautions
to avert the pestilence, or at least to miti
gate its virulence. The latter is to be hoped.
But evidence exist already that our own
country- is in the peculiar stages of prepara
tion for its development. In many parts of
the country* dysentery is unusually malig
nant ; in our cities cholera infantum slays its
multitudes. Influenza, croup, diptheria and
kindred diseases indicating another epidemic
period, have disappeared to a great decree ;
and daily the evidence accumulates that the
destroyer from *he East will iu a few- months
have eot“ to our own shores.
If our sanitary authorities have any im
provements, any- preparations to make for
the ltdvent of the approaching epidefhie; let
.them proceed to put them into operation,—
Foul vaults, cess-pools and stagnant water
afford a resting place for the infection, be it
what it may ; and crowded houses are soon
to be visited by pestilence. Everything
which can promote health and cheerfulness
should be done speedily.
Tiie Duty of Patriot*.
[From the Louisville Journal.]
Independent support rendered the Presi
dent will make him independent. This is
the grand reason why liberal men should sus
tain him in his earnest efforts to educe order
from chaos, and lasting peace from the wreck
and debris of war. Fanatical men will op
pose him because he is pursuing a course
midway between the extremes of violence.
It, th.eiefore, the liberal masses of the coun
try do not yeld him their confidence if they
do not cheer him and nerve ids arm, lie inhst
necessarily- fall between the opposing factions
that are engaged in making war upon him.
But have the honest, conservative citizens of
the United State considered what is involved
in the overthrow of the present liberal policy
which lie has -inaugurated and is en
deavoring to cany out ? We think not. It
is admitted by almost eveiylmdy that that
policy is, under all the circumstances of
the case, just, fair and wise ; and it is mani
fest that it is much more generous'and mag
nanimous to the South than the great mass
of Southern people expected.
It is, we think, in the main satisfaclory'to
them, aud such ns they me generally willing
to conform to Upon Mr. Johnson's platform
the people of the South will rally and again
become faithful and honest citizens of the
country. Every- good man will readily ad
mit that su£h a consummation is highly de
siraßle under whatever aspect the subject
may be Contemplated. Eyery- one wants
pence and prosperity. The soldiers of the
Republic who have just gone home want to
attend to the private affairs. They want no
more fighting at present. Their farms and
merchandise, their wives and little ones,
have more charms for them now than the
waving of plumes, the charge-tojiattle, or
the shouts ot victory. . In the South there
arc the wide spread desolations, poverty,
and sufferings of the dreadful conflict. Tiie
soldiers there want to repair the wastes and
save what they can from die general wreck.
This is the-kliought uppermost in their minds.
How best to do it engrosses their thoughts
and occupies their time.
We are speaking ot the principal facts and
of the majority. In order to save something
for themselves, to have rest and educate their
children, the people will accept, we think, in
faith the free basis, provided they can have
their rights in other respects. This, #re un
derstand, is what they- are willing to do, and
this is what, it we do not misread the sigus
of the times, the liberal mnjority in the North
are willing they should have the opportunity
to accomplish. This, if you please, is a
compromise, and a fair one. It is best for
the North and the South. It is for tiie in
terest of the North that the South should be
again rich and happy, as speedily as pos
sible. Western farms and Eastern work
shops will soon pour fortti as of old their ex
haustless products, and they want for them a
good market in the South—which they can
not. have there without quiet, order, and law,
without civil government and a contented
people.
The Late Cutting Affair.—We notice in
the New Orleans Times, and also in the True
Delta of the 24th nit., a statement of the
difficulty between Col. Charles Forsyth, of
the Register & Advertiser, and Captain De
Yiega, late of Gen. Maury’s staff, which we
deem it but proper to correct. The circum
stances of the case, as we gathered them
from two or three creditable witnesses, were
simply these; Col. Forsyth went into the
Battle House about noon of Tuesday last to
see a frienti, and whilst conversing with him,
De Yiega (between whom and Forsyth there
had been an old feud) walked up to him,
called him “a d—n cowardly- son of a b—b,”
and at the same time slapped him ; where
upon Col. Forsyth drew his pocket knife and
c it him with it, inflicting some five or six
wounds. Not a word was said, other than
which is here reported, .by either of the par
ties. Captain De Yiega, we understand, is
still qnitc low on account, of his wounds,
but it. is thought by physicians in atteiicffince
that, he will recover.
'We have refrained from making any men
tion of the occurrence heretofore at the re
quest of the friends of tiie parties# until tte
matter could be investigated before the pro
per tribunal ; this is iu order tiiatiu one state
ment no injustice be done to either party.
Nor should we itave spoken of it sooner bin
to correct an error which our brothers of the
New Orleans press have, no doubt, inad
vertently fallen into.— Mobile Tribune. ' .
GofEBNOR Parsons. —The Montgomery
orrespondent of the New* Orleans Pic
ayune of the 25th, says that “Governor
Parsons continues to win golden opinions
from all men. He is working hard and his
appointments are giving general satisfaction.
It is to be hoped that the civil courts will be
in full operation before long. There is plenty
of wois for them to do, and the lawyers will
reap a rich harvest.”
