We have before briefly alluded to tliu re port of the Commissioners appointed by the Legislature to draft a code of laws for ilm protection and government of the Freedinen. The pamphlet copy of the report not having reached us, we give a brief synopsis which we found in a Macon exchange. The entire report is in process of publication in some of our exchanges, but as it is too long for our columns, and as it will not be of force until after its adoption by the Legislature, by whom it will undergo amendment and alte ration, we content ourselves for the present with a full statement of its main provisions, which we find in the Columbus Enquirer When the code shall have been perfected and adopted by the Legislature we will lay it en tire before our readers. Tho code is accompanied with the draft of a short adopting bill, the passage of which is recommended, unless the Legislature should deem that mode of wholesale legislation un constitutional; in which case the Cominis sinners recommend the adoption of several bills including all the provisions of the code. As the titles of these bills give a comprehen sive summary of the matters embraced in toe reported code, we copy them : 1st An act prescribing certain general pro visions preliminary to other legislation, in tended to carry into effect the fifth clause of the fifth section of the second article, and the latter part of the third clause of the second section of the fourth article of the Constitution 2d. An act to establish county courts in thi9 State. 3d. An act to amend the laws In relation to husband and wife. 4th. An act to amend the laws in relation to parent and child. r>th. Au act to amend the laws in relation to guardian aod ward. 6th. An act to amend the laws in relation to muster and servant. 7th. An act to amend the laws in relation to master and apprentice. 8th. An act to amend the law of contracts. 9th. iVn act to amend the law in relation to estates of deceased persons. 10th. An act to amend the criminal law. 11th. An act in relation to the grant and regulation of licenses in certain cases. The first article for bill) repeals all stal- utes relating to slaves or free persons of color; defines persons of color to be those having one-eighth of negro or African blood in their veins, and extends to them the right to acquire and hold property, to sue and be sued, and to receive protection of person and property, «fcc.; also the right to testify in all civil cases wherein ihe rights or liibi ities of persons of color are involved, in all criminal cases wherein the accused is a person of color, or where the proceeding is instituted because of some alleged injury to a person of color, his righ's or property ; “and in any case, civil or criminal, in which a colored person is introduced as a witness against a white person, a party to the case, or a white person against a colored person, a party to the case, the opposite party may be sworn and testify as a witness; if he do bo, then his adversary may also testify as a witness." Article 2d provides for the organization of a County Court in each county, the Judge of which shall be entitled the County Judge. The compensation of the County Judge to be $200, to be paid by the State, together with tees prescribed. The County Judge may issue bail process in civil cases, admit to bail in criminal cases, issue attachments, foreclose mortgages on personal property, issue war rants of distress for rent, possessory war rants, writs of habeas corpus, and other writs or warrants not within the exclusive juris diction of some other court or officer; he may also exercise all the usual powers of a justice of the peace, &c. He shall, by him self or clerk, keep a record and index of all court contracts filed in his office, keep proper dockets, &c. Rules for conducting businos in the court are prescribed. The cour, is to hold daily sessions for bearing and determin ing all cases arnipg out of tho relation of master and Bervaut, applications for the eviction of trespassers, distress warrants, habeas corpus cases, &c., and in all civil cases in which not more than one hundred dollars is claimed as damages or as the princi notice.

The Ricchope Plantation coniains two thousand four hundred and f Tty five (24451 acres, one-half ot whi'h is choice hammock and rice laud the other half pine land. The rice land wall pioduce seventy bushels of rice per acie; the h immock from forty to fifty bushels of Coin or - bine of sea Island cottou per acre The pile- lard is very productive—will produce from fifteen hi twenty bushels of corn per acre, or a hah bale of sea Island cotton, and Is very easy of cultivation.— Up m it is a vast qtmrititv of rangiii" or mill limber, wuhin n half mile to a mile and a half of the Atlantic A Gulf Ra lrouil, which passes through the middle of the tract. TMb pi ice la situated on hotli sides of the Gulf Railroad, thirty-four miles from the city of Sa vannah, and the wood and limber upon it, which can be easily transported to ttie city, will pay wliat I ask for It ten times over. The health of tnis place, espe cially the pine land, cannot be excelled even by the mountan s of Georgia There are a number of de sirable settlements upon It, and the tract can be di vided up Into a number of small farms There arc fourteen hundred acres fenced and about four hundred cleared and in petfect order for rating a large crop the en.-ning year. A good glil house, corn-house, ov- rset-r’s huu--e and negro houses on the place. The place Is situated equi distant between Uiuesvllle and Walthourvile, the public road tiotweeu these two f daces passing through it. So well am 1 satisfied of is preiduc ivencss, that I will sell it lor the products of one crop to u purchaser who will come unelcr suf ficient obligations to cultivate the cleared land prop erly, or I will sell for raouey, ua hereinafter stated.— The range for cattle and hogs cannot be excelled iu Georgia nor Florida, as they are fat the year round in the woods without feeding. The Millliaven tract contains three thousand one hundred and eighteen (3,1 IS; acres pine laud. This is my-residence, upon which 1 have resided for many years, and, for health, I do not think it can be ex celled iu tbe world. Upon it are two valuable mill sites,with an inexhaustible supply uf timber upon never-lading streams ; upon one of which has been u valuable saw and grist mill for tbe last sixty-five years. There are two hundred acres of cleared land, which is very productive ; a Hue dwelling house, ne- § ro houses, ,tc. Wiih this place 1 will sell onsbuu- red and twenty-live beau of cattle, a number of horses, mules, hogs, Jtc. These lands were selected by me iome years ago with a view to permanent lo Cation and investment. 1 am Induced now to sell for the reason that my prufes-lon-,1 engagements ure such that I cannot duvets my peisonal attention lo the in auguration of * tiee labor system, and for the further reai-on that 1 believe that Huh system will thrive bet ter in the hands of Northern men, as our former slaves are either taught to believe, or inherently inclined to look upon their old masters as their natural enemies. I win sell as abbi, stated, or for cash, or aportlon of the purchase money to lie paid iu one, two and three years. The titles arc Indisputable. Pints are left with Bell, Wylly & Christian, in Savannah, lor inspection, and refer to N. A. Hardee A Co. and E. C.' Wade <fc Go. I invite all purchasers to look Ht these lands, and if they don't suit them, then l think they must be tas- tldlous indeed. \VM. B.
