A FLAN TO PROMOTE IMMIOiiA
TION,
The following Article, extracted from
the Richmond Whig of the 2d, from the
pea of our distinguished townsman, Dr.
C. K Marshall, will be read with interest
by all It was prepared with reference
to one State, but is sailed alike to ail. We
do not approve of his allusion to diiferem
parties in tho South during the war, for
the simple reason that the mentioning of
such things only created a bitter feeling
between mea who should now be united
in a common esuso, and doe3 no good :
To the Editor of the Whig :
Sir—Toe following outline contains
some of tho leading features of a plan for
the enooursgemeni of Ilia immigration oi
population into the State of Mississippi,
and the sale and bestowment of land for
that object.. In n mpliance with my
promise I send you Ihe notes, etc. :
1. Let the landholders of any country
unite and subscribe their lands boss to
obiain a sufficient extent if good tillable
soil on which a colony could be easily in
duced to settle. Emigrants always want
to settle iu colonies f.r the sake of lan
guage, religion, schools and social rela
tions. Several thousand families should
be goiten into a colony.
2 Let commissioners be elected by tue
company to estimate the value of each
separate tract of land, and let each sub
scriber reoeive certificates of the number
of shares the value of his land entitles
him to. Toe company, and all similar
ones, to bo incorporated, of oourse.
3. Survey the entire body of land, and
lay it olfiuto lots of all desirable sizes, to
suit all sorts of combt-a, with roads and
lanes running through aud rendering t»o
--ceptahie the entire property so laid off.
Furnish water privileges for nulls, sites
for villages, lots for churches, and eligible
ground for institutions for learninir, »ad
farms ranging from ten to three hundred
acres,
4 Lithograph the plants, and publish
a pamphlet describing the < advantages ol
climate, soil, products, and their market
vulues, together with, all tho necessary in
formation, in various languages, for Eu
ropeans who may desire to remove to this
fav red clime.
6. Send agents to Europe ; open offices
there; charter your steamers, and send
forward the people. Have agents on this
side of tho ocean ready to receive them
and send them to their new homus. The
Legislature ought to advance the means
for the purchase of two or three steamers,
if necessary, to facilitate the objeotof the
companies.
0. Houses, cabins, or comfortable quar
ters should be furnished ou the lands for
immediate occupation. These the emi
grants would pay for at once, or as might
bo agreed on with the company. These
would be a very oheap style, to serve till
the occupant could build to his taste.
7. Sell the alternate lots and farms at a
low figure, on condition of remaining on
and cultivating the grounds for five years,
paying the taxes and the interest on the
purchase price, eie., etc.
In many cases it will be to the interest
of the company to givo away lots and
small farms to settlers. Indeed, it were
better, and would pay immensely, if one
half of all ihe stock land were donated to
tillers of the soil, who remained for five
years on it, rather than that the enter
prise should fail or be long delayed.
Besides, on fair and reasonable terms,
the resident landholders could continue to
cultivate their lands for one, two or more
years, till required by an emigrant or
needed by a purchaser.
8. Make the stock transferable. Cap
italists would invost largely, and at once,
as soon as a great body of superb planta
tions and rich lands belonged to the
Company, and it could show a solid basis
for energetic and business like opera
tions.
Lands for raising hops in the Mohawk
Valley, New York, are worth three, four,
five and six hundred dollars per acre.
The ssine quality of land on which the
hops, the castor bean, cotton, sorghum,
rioe, tobacoo, corn, wheat, barley, pota
toes, peaohes, apples, pears, plums, and
numerous other things grow to perfection,
can now be purchased in Mississippi at
ten and twelve dollars per acre.
Bat, with such emigrant organizations
and land companies, those lauds, in ten
years, ought to be worth hundreds of dol
lars per acre, and compensate all the loss
es of this transition state. Havo we the
energy, unwavering purpose, patience aod
faith for the pertonaanoo of this ? It
must.be done; and if we fail, somebody
will do it, aud reap the compensation.
A few Misaissippiana are solicitous to
promote the public good, and deem this
the great lever with whigh to raise the
fallen fortunes of our State. We believe
in a few years the population of the State
may be ewolled from 400,000 whites to
several millions Emigration and oheap
homes will do the work. lam asked, do
you want
THE NORTHMAN ?
Why not? He fought against you. Yes
—and so did many Ijoutbinen—not in the
open field—not in the manly measure
ment of swords—but in the cowardly and
money making offices of spies, informers,
extortioners, croakers, deserters and de
tractors.
1 take the Northman who fought me as a
bravo man a thousand times sooner that)
tho base South born prelender and para
site; and yet ihe latter class are here,and
here they will live and die and rot in
Southern soil No braver men defended
the dig of the Confederacy than thou
sands boru outside of its boundaries. Yts;
come from the four winds of heaven—
people these beautiful valleys, and make
the desert blossom as the rose. No true
man breathes the Southern air, or kneels
to pray on Southern, soil, or consents to
harmonize with Sctubern society for ten
years, who does not feel indissolubly
wedded to the fortunes of (lie Sonth, and
his heat t’s daily psalm is, “Thy people
shall he my people,and thy God my God.”
Then open the gates of Europe and let
them come from over the seas—our fore
fathers ciunu over the seas. Yes, let the
Northman oome also.
CAN wniTE MEN MAKE COTTON ?
They always have made it, What is
the reason that, oolton cannot, be mad3 by
white men now, after having done it for
near a hundred years ? In ail the loss
fertile aud less affluent districts of the cot
ton regions, the whites make nineteeu
twentifcihs of all the cotton that is made.
I have known Germans, Italians, Irish
men, and Yankees, to make crops without
negro labor at ail. Thousands are doiog
it to day, and will continue to do it It
Sambo, Caesar and Pompey refuse to
make cotton, George, William and Thomas
will do it
WHAT IS To BECOME OF THE NEGROES ?
I; they perish ia ten years to come in
anything like the ratio, or within many
degrees of it, as they areperiehing now in
the hands of their frienda, no one ueod be
troubled to find a place for the remnant
of ihe race.
As soon as Congress meets they must
appropriate three or five hundred millions
of dollars to help take care of the freed
men. But that, aside.
The old master and old citizen must not
cease to regard, honor, esteem and en
courage the colored people. Their good
deportment during lour years of dreadful
war will always oommand the admiration
and gratitude of all good people among us.
Wo must be his best friends now, as
always heretofore. We know his nature
and capabilities ; have educated him out
of barbarism up to what the Northman
graciously regards as his equal ; taught
him to eat bread, cook his food, to wear
clothes, speak the English and French
tongues netier than they ere spoken by
the laboring classes of either France or
England, and thereby paid him tho larg
eat compensation that was ever paid a
laboring peasantry for the work he hus
performed. New, if we are true to our
selves, the country, and the freedmen, we
shall never allow a stranger lo come in
aud alienate the colored race from their
oid friends. Northern journals tell u»,
“ the freeduian prefers to work for the
Yankee rather than his old master. ”
Doubtless in some cases that is true, for
gome of those old masters abused the re
laiioasirip existing almost as much as
hundreds of thousands of people North
abuse the marriage relation.
Besides, tno now-oomer brings money,
ea's at the same table, und often remains
to breakfast, and the negro is, for awhile,
dazzled with the new state of things. But
tne rule holds good, he loves best his old
friends. This is a matter of great mo
mont. The most malignant agencies are
at work in the South to fill the negro mind
with doubt, jealousy, suspicion and ha
tred of his former friends. Now, we must
furnish farm labor for the negro—get the
emigrant to hire him—cheer him up- stand
by him—treat him as heretofore, gently
and generously. He did not change the
former relation. New fields wili open to
him, and we can help him to reap them
Governor Oummings, just appointed Gov
ernor of Colorado, will need one million
of them to dig the lately discovered masses
of gold and silver in that Territory. I see
ten and twelve dollars a day is offered
for labor. Here is a marvellous field for
bim. I mentioned the matter to that dis
tingushed genlteman, and he means to
encourage the plan. 80, with cherishing
and enoouraging the colored race on the
one hand, and the emigration of white
people on the other, why should we not
prosper and grow as rich a3 it is safe to
be, and find, in a higher and strongor fu
ture, tbe defences of God’s dark provi
dence of to-day, and a recompense for ail
our losses and wrongs.
Respectfully,
O. K. MARSHALL.
Richmond, August 29, 1805.
Violation of tlte Ffcedge of Amnesty.
Not a day passes iu which we do not
see citizenefrom the lower oounties of up
per East Tennessee who have been com
pelled to leave their homes on acoouut of
their late political sentiments. Wo are
pained to see this, for it will work a se
rious injury. While we believe the law
should take its coarse in all cases—and
we think it sufficient for any of them,
whether they be treason or crimes of any
magnitude—we bolieva mob law and vio
lence to be wrong, and the quicker steps
are taken to put it down the better. If
we expect emigrants or capitalists to
come and settle among us. we must have
peace and good feeling among ourselves.
Let civil lav/ have its course, and matters
that cannot be righted by it he forgotten
and buried in oblivion. Polioy and a due
regard for the majesty of the law dictates
such a course. —Bristol (Term ) News
A dag staff was raised in front of Gen
Steadman’s headquarters in Augusta, on
Monday last. Referring to it the Tran
script says : A speech was delivered on
the occasion bv Hon. Joshua Hill —in re
gard to which various comments were
made by those who beard it. The sub
stance seemed to bo; an apostrophe to
the stars and stripes, and an exhortation
to the people to render allegianoa to the
government, be industrious, patient, and
alt would be well.
Speech of lion. Hill, In Au
gUltfti
A largo garrison flag was raised in
Augusta, in front of the Augusta Bank,
(now.the headquarters of Gen. Steadman,)
last Monday. After the flag had been
raised, Gon. Sleadmau introduced to tho
audience Hon. Joshua Hill, “as one hav
ing remained true and unwaveriug to the
flag and the cause amid all the horrors of
the past four years ”
The Chronicle and Sentinel has the fol
lowing report of Mr. Hill’s «j eech;
Mr. Hill opened by acknowledging the
Introduction of hia distinguished friend,
and proceeded to speak of tho timo—
tifieea years ago—when Daniel Webster,
the great champion of the Union, left
Congress after his herculean effort to
save bis country, and found that in his
devotion to rite common oouniry, and
denunciation of fanatics, North and riouth
—the people of wliotn in Boston he was
once the idol, had forsaken him because
of his leva for the whole Union. Rofuscd
tho use of Fi.neuel Hull by the Common
Council, he spoke from the City Common,
in tho shadow ot tho monument of our
country's first martyrs, and from that
holy ground, oouseorated by horo blood
and his own immortal eloqnauoe, began
with tho memorable words— “ To the
Sober Men if Boston.”
From thi3 text the orator proceeded to
appeal to the sober, the rifLeting, the
honest, tha brave and the good, to let the
evil passions of tbo past die with the
Revolution, and for the safes ol delioate
women, helpless children, and inconstder
ate youth, to avoid all occasion to renew
the sad times, and heart burnings, and
tours, hnd orphanage of the unfortunate
past The war ou the part of the South,
he spoke ol as an admitted failure—a
blunder in its inception. To its unfortu
nate originates, he applied with force the
words of Talleyrand —“A blunder is worse
than a crime,”
He Bpoke rs t he necessity for loyal feel
ing and notion on tho part of all people
who desired the eivil to take the place of
tbe military law ; aud of the burden of
taxation oausod by a large standing army
—itself caused by fears of an outbreak at
the South. To the brave defenders oi
the fUg, ho eloquently spoko of thoir mis
sion among us, as defenders of life, liber
ty and propurly; and urgod them and
the assembled citizens to vie with each
other in deeds of mutual friendship aDd
good will- To havo none but that noble
emulation, as to who shall be tho best
citizen, and truest lover of tbe ono flag,
one land, iu whioh we have one hope,
equal rights, and a common destiny.
He briefly and touchingly roforred to
the past sorrows of tho whole people, in
whioh he too had shared, and implored
all to cling to the bacred emblem floating
before him, whoso stars wero emblems of
separate States, bound together forever on
the blue field of tho common Union.
Many like w*vos, bn tone like the sea.”
He declined to go into the argument ol
tha secessionists, but burying the argu
ment with the lailure of the revolution ;
taught wisdom by the misfortunes of the
past, he urged that all lovers of their
country should merge hate aud joalousy,
tnd evil speaking, and bitter memories,
and past sorrows ; in the thought that we
have one country, vaßt as the blue heaven
which arches Us beauty, strong as the
Andes, and terrible as the storms of its
inoireling oceans, and within the embra
cing arms of that glorious Union we
should only proudly remember, “I am an
American Citizen.”
A German Expedition to tile North
Pole.
Tho geographers of Germany assem
bled on July 23d last, in the house of
Goetho, at Frankfort, when Dr. Peter
mann, the superintendent of the geo
graphical establishment of Perthes at
Gotha, the largest in the world, and the
editor of the famous Gotha gcographtoal
monthly, expounded bis plan of reaching
the North Pole by tho medium of the
warm stream bn the coast ot Europe. Mr.
Petermann thinks it possible to reach the
North Pole from the Northern German
coast iu ten days, and estimates tho cost
of such an expedition at SIOO,OOO. Pe
iorman’s hypothecs, in regard to Arotic
geography, is supported by the alleged
discovery of a Polar sea made by Dootor
Kane, and he being one of the most dis
tinguished geographers of the world, we
trust that his proposed expedition will
meet with the necessary support. No
better starting points for the proposed ex
pedition could be found than from the
ports of Hamburg or Bremen.— Chicago

Having given the Bishop of Georgia’s
views, we give the following extract from
Bishop Coxe’s Diocesan Address:
The question arises as to the restoration
of legislative unity with our brethren of
the State Essential unity has never been
for a minute suspended ; and now, it
seems to me, that nearly all questions be
tween us and them wdl bo settled by the
calling of the roll of the Convention, and
by their appearing ana answering to their
names. The oase of the Bishop of Ala
bama, elected and consecrated during tbe
war, admits of no doubt and presents no
great difficulty. The validity of his con
secration is acknowledged , but certain
measures will be necessary, as in the case
of Bishop Seabury, who was consecrated
in Scotland, to give the new Bishop a
canonical position. In due time, we can
not doubt, our Southern brethren will all
be feuad again in tbeir places, and how
shall they be received ’! Can there be any
question V How was it in the day when
all Israel wi-.s restored to David ? “ Shall
there be an; man put to death this day in
Israel! ” If our brethren have erred,
surely they have suffered ; if any pun
ishment is yet to be meted cut to them,
let us rejoice that tbe State, and nut the
Church, is the minister of wrath. It is
our blessed privilege to forgive, and as
Christians, at least, to remember no more
what we committed to God’s arbitration,
and what, in His Providence, is settled
and gune by. On the great National
questions that divided us no man felt
morn deeply, nobody acted more con
scientiously than myself. I felt that
there could be but one issue to the war
consistent with truth and justice, the
oause of humanity and ot cur holy relig-
ion. But, I trust, such convictions were
not polluted by resentful impulses, nor
by worse instincts of revenge, hatred and
malice. And now. when all is over, what
can a Christian find within him but a
warm revival of old affections and friend
ships, and a longing for tbe old fraternal
counsels and oommuning. Let the powor
of our religion be seen and felt by all our
oounlrynpsn. Let us address ourselves
to the uewand trying emergencies created
by the new condition of things iu the
Southern States. Let us fool that such is
the highest service we can now render to
our country, and that it is in our power,
as a ohuroh, to do more, perhaps, than
othors in this way. And as Nature has
beifhn already to cover over the red fields
of war with her peaceful harvests and her
refreshing verdure, ?o let Grace mantle
the past with charity, and make tho in
firmities of men give place to tha fruits of
the Spirits.

A Thrilling; Incident.
It was late in the evening ot' a lovely
spring clay. The flacks were grazing
quietly on the meadows, and the sun
pouring his last flood of light upon lawn
and landscape of a lovely laud as I en
tered the residence of her to whom iny
heart was plighted. She met me with a
warm smile. 1 ulasped both her soft, del
icate white hands in mine, and my tongue
began to pour forth tbe homage of a
hoart all tenderly and devotedly her own
—“Adorable ompressof my soul,’’ said I,
“sweet centre and ciroumferrence of all
tbe oollated perfections of eacharine
feminity, deign in thy gracious conde
scension to aooopt renewed assurances of
a cordial fidelity that the ruthless hand
of time cannot erase, nor tho rude con
tact of untoward circumstances alter,
circumscribe or obliterate. ” Oh the rap
ture—the oxhilurating ecstaoy of that
blisdtiil moment, when her eyes met mine
on Ihe half way ground, all melting in
the fiery furnace of love, and suffused
with tears, the liquid eloquence of att'eo
tiou. Bus spoke; ah! wttu “thoughts
that breathed ami words that burned;”
she told the tale of her constancy, as we
olaaped more fondly, more tightly, more
caressingly our manual appendages. A:
length the sun disappeared; the “ wee
Bunna hours ” of day drove on, and the
crepuscular, with its mellow shades and
becalming influence arrived. Gently sue
began to pull loose. “Noble Jezebel, ”
said she, “ I conjure you to mine to me
what species of delectable viands you
prefer for supper. ” “Nothing, oh su
per-mulierian creature, ” I replied, “ i
want nolhmgfor supper excepting one
swoet kiss. ” She threw her head back
—projected her strawberry lips, and in
language of plaintive sweetness remark
od, “ supper is ready for Mr. Hugging !”
A Convention of the Republican part)
of Perry oo , Indiana, met on the 19th uit.
Among others, they passed the iollowing
resolution:
“ Resolved, That while in the present
unsettled condition of the negroes in the
United Elates, humanity requires that they
should not he held responsible for the
evils which appear incident to the rebel
lion, now happily ended, still we believe
that both their happiness and the welfare
of our own people require that they should
remain in tne Btates where they now are,
and, therefore, we are opposed to their
permanent settlement in Indiana."
The Louisville Journal remarks :
Sambo is an excellent institution, but
bis room is better than his company !
These lellows are Republicans. Why
don’t Gariisou, Phillips or Greeley lash
the hypocrites round the world with a
thousand scorpious ? They ought to be
tried by a military commission, and con
demned to work, oat, drink and sleep
with ten negroes apiece, until some of
their hypoorisy was sweated out of them.
Wondertul sympathy for the poor negro ;
but he mustn’t come betwoea the wind
and their nobility !
Speeches of Mturs. Val Inndlgham
and Fendleton.
A t the recent Democratic State Conven
tion in Ohio, Mr. Vallandigham and Mr.
Pendleton, who, it will bo recollected,
was a candidate for Vice President on the
McClellan tioket, made abort speeches
from which we make extracts
Mr. Vallandigham said:
An important duty of this convention
is the reaffirmation of the ancient and
time honored principles of tbe Democratic
party. What those principles are it is
unnecessary for me to repeat; they are
known to you all. Farther, as a duty of
this convention, it is to announce a polioy
with reference to the new and momentous
issues of the day. Foremost among
these is tbe question of the union of
these states A direct issue upon that
question is tendered between our adver
series and ourselves. We are for imme
diate union. They are for union remote
aod contingent. We are to-day the im
mediate Union party of Ohio. They are
the dissension party ot the State (cheers)
—if, as proclaimed by the leaders of that
party, recognition is to be in fact remote
and contingent. He who tells you that
he is against the return or restoration of
the sooeded Slates to the Union, for five,
ten, fifteen, or thirty years, is a disunion
ist, and ought to be denounced as such.
(Cheers-)
Connected with* this, directly, is the
living issue, Souh and North, coming
home to us as citizens of Ohio, more re
motely as citizens of tho United States,
haviog a common interest, the ques
tion of negru suffrage and equality. It is
part of tho avowed policy of the leaders
ot the party to which wo are opposed to
insist tnat the negroes just set free, to the
cuuifmr of three or four millions, shall ba
clothed immediately with tbe prerogative
ot suffrage, through the instrumonality of
the Federal government, and in violation
of the plainest and most fundamental
principles of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States.
Mr Pendleton said ;
Now I am against all amendments to
the Constitution. lam in favor of leaving
with tho Stales the question of negro
suffrage, because the Constitution of the
United States loaves it there. I am in
lnvor ol acknowledging the rights of the
Southern States now to representation,
and to all that belongs to their old posi
tion instantly, without experiment, with
out delay, without any condition, except
that they shall recognize Ihe supremacy
of the Constitution of the United States,
and why should it not be so ? By what
authority Joes any gentleman undertake
to say, occupying a high position and
■ having a vote ; by what authority does he
undertake to say the States and people
shall not bo represented in the Congress
of the Ucited States, exoept upon condi
tion of changing tho framework of the
government itself.
Mr. Pendleton continued iu this strain
for some timo, and concluded by alluding
to the reconstruction policy of President
Johnson Ho wished President Johnson
had accepted the terms of Sherman’s
truce, but he was willing to indorse him
so far as he reoognized in his theories the
iootrino of the right of tho Southern
States to control their own domestio af
fairs.-
B|ires.l til Hit Ruailsn Piagu* and
Cholera,
The United States Consul at Port Ma
hon informs tho Slate Department, under
date of August 11, 1866, of the spreading
of tho Russian plague, and of the preva
lence of the cholera. Iu his dispatoh to
the State Department he says:
“Doubt no longer exists. Tho authori
ties here are noting upon information
whioh they havo received that the oholera
is certainly advancing to the west rap
idly. My conscience would not acquit
me of orimioal neglect if I did not en
deavor to impress upon the Department
the fear that this disease may again
eoourge the nations.”
* * # * #
“Should its advance for tho next twen
ty days be aB rapid as tho last twenty
days, it, may bo looked for in England.”
* * * “Quarantine is rapidly enforoed
here.” * * * “The supposed interest
of commerce has, fora lime, deceived tho
people, but the proof of tho advance of
the cholera is cloar and positive, and
ought not longer to mislead any as to its
real existence.”

Tire Virginia Cast, of Arm*.
The Richmond correspondent, of the
Baltimore American wrnts :
Several notices have appealed to the
effect that the Legislature has changed
the coat of arms of Virginia by thp re
moval of the words “Sic Semper Tyran
ms, ” whioh are said to bo rendered ob
noxious by Booth’s repetition of them
This io a mistake, and arocie partly, 1 sup
pose, from the fact, that the National
Exchange Bank and National Bank of
Virginia, wnert they had their first new
no ten presented, left oil' the objootiouable
words iu their places, not, through ohoice,
but as a matter of necessity. At the timo
the popular feeling ran very much against
seeing their motto anywhere ; now, how
ever, that feeling has worn away, and no
one desires to see the motto whioh has
floated above the State Capitol for #ghty
nine years removed.

More Truth Than poetry.

Philadelphia Inquirer says of the Phoenix
Bank defalcation .-
A leading banker saiatomethis morn
“ Why, sir, you seem astonished at these
things. Better reserve your astonisment
for mote astounding developments that
are probably yet to oome out. The won
dor is not that one man or two men
should tbu-5 turn out to be rogues iu Wall

two years, havens yet been fonnd out.”
