A direct lino of- slcamors ret ween Nor folk and Liverpool is talked of Quincy, the second city in the State of Illinois, has a population of 19,000, as shown by tbs oensus just taken The Hon. James H, Bell, late of the supreme bench of Texas, has been made (lev. Hamilton’s Secretary of State. The Braziliau government has made a call for 76,000 men to servo in the wsr against Paraguay. ‘Oid Grimes,” a quaint old negro, well known to all graduates of Yale College, died recently in New Havea at the age of ninety. It is said that a eon of George N. San ders is iu New York city soliciting aid for the distinguished rebels who remain over tho border. The efforts of the Government to arrest Gen. MoOauslani, under indictment in Pennsylvania, have not succeeded lie has left for parte unknown. A steam street car with a dummy en. gine is in successful operation at St Louis, waking an average speed of fifteen miles an hour and running without noise or smoke. Gen. Carl Sohurz, who has been on a tour through the South looking at matters, said at Vicksburg a few days since that he “saw no basis for immediate recon struction in any State ” A man named Wilkins was shot by a lieu*cnant, who was in command of the guard, at Bermuda at 10 o’olock last Mouday. Wilkin9 was arrested. He is from Lae’s army. There is an ex-army sutler ia Xndianap olis, who made $200,000 in fourteen months’ time, and invested the whole amount in United States bonds, which are exempt from taxation. Gen. Fisk looks upon freedmen's oamps as unwholesome and pernicious, aod is rapidly breaking them up in his district. The negroes are encouraged to seek em ployment in cities and towns. The total number of Froedmen in the District of Columbia in the charge of the Freedmen’s Bureau is neerly 26,000, of whom 519 are receiving rations from the Government without rendering any equiv alent. A woman in cne of the census districts on Long Island, gave to the enumerator the names of twenty of her children, and then said she believod there were two or three more, but she couldn’t just then remember their names. For the week ending 26th ult., 186 post offices were opened in the South and 1100 miles of mail routes let. The poet othoe Department is now preparing an adrer tisement for the South for all its mail routes —contracts to commenco July 1, 1866. It is stated that Sterling Prioe, and other officers of the late Confederate ar my, have reoeived from the Emperor Maximilian the commissions of Generals in the Mexioan Army. This is a mistake. Sterling Prioe has gone to Brazil, proba bly to seek a residence there. Counterfeits of the last (fifty cent) is sue of postal currency have made their appearance in'iarge amounts. They can be easily detected, however, even when new, as the paper iaoi very poor quality, and the engraving is of an exceedingly rough and coarse appearance. The coun terfeiting of this issue makes the list complete—the whole series haviog been subject to the prooess. Miss Doctor Mary E. Walker, who, it will be remembered, figared pretty ex tensively as an assistant surgeon in and about Chattanooga, and who was after ward captured by the rebels near Gordon’s Mills, Ga , has been for some time ex pending the force of her woman’s elo quence at the War Department, in Wash ington, to procure an appointment in the regular army, with the rank, uniform, and pay of a Major and Surgeon. Doctor Walker has finally exhausted the patience (f the Department, and met with a decided rebuff. COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17. 1865. OVER THKIUVJCH.

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 Republican, Aug. 10. Uisliop Coze, of Mew York, on He ll li■ on ol* • lie Episcopal Umi roll. 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.
