HOW TO OBTAIN THE HKHAI.D REG ILAHIV. We often hare complaints frnmsesidents of Saian u:.h and Iltlton Head that they are not aide always to Obtain the Peru n. The demand is sometimes so great as to exhaust an Edition very soon af'er it* issue, and those who wish to have the Hfraii. regularly, should subscribe for ii. We have faithful corners in {Savannah and at Hilton Head, and through them we slways serve regular subscribers first 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 reached her wharf last night a little before 11 o’clock, we arc in possession of our Special I New York Correspondence of the Otli inst., with files of New York papers to the same I date, for which we are’ indebted to the po- I litcness of Purser Mayer: 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. j Taxation must tie equal tn tnoel the bunlfchs tint! have linen itiqx.scd upon the country I U|ion the laboring classes must not be im posed unequal taxes; ail the property of the j country, gs whatever nature, must bear it? ; fair proportion FROM FOftTRKSS .'III.VHIIK.

RUIWUhS ThATSHt COMES WITH DESPATCHES FROM PRESIDENT GEFFRARD ASKING Aiß TO QUELL THE REBELLION. • [From the New York Herald.] Beaufort, N. C„, Sept. 2, 1865. . 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.

ID J , •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.

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.
