The Productive Labor of the South.
It is to the agricultural products the South most
alone look for a revival of her former prosperity ;
al( i thc-re ; are few who fully realize the extreme
poverty towards which we shall inevitably find
unless we can so direct the labor of the fret-dma'i
as to make Lina available in ihe production of
cotton, corn, &c., which must be the basis of our
future prosperity. The negro must, by some
means, be induced to enter, heretofore, into
agricultural pursuits in order to make this land
again smile with prosperity. He must till the soil
for. beiDg a consumer, he most j rjilurt to tn-c:
his own wants and comfort. He i~ by notur-' and
education < ~p daily adapted to the cultivation of
cotton, which nnt.it torm the mainbasis ot our fu
ture pro-p-rity. Ilut the great question, and an n-
tricate one it is. is to get the negro to work and be,
come, >v heretofore, a reliable source nt tabor.—
How he shall be made to und-Y.-tand tfic quest ion
of labor and support as a freedman, in the employ
of his firmer owner, and fully appreciate t! ‘" n '-"

The Temper of the Southern People.
Rrave and heroic, determined, as they w< re to
establish a separate government, they, like true
men, have accepted the results o! the late war
with an honesty of purpose which should challenge
the admiration of the world e.nd the highest confi
dence of too Federal Government »!■" jieoptn
with whom they have contended so persistently
for the last four years i:i the m bilr.imefit of anil-.
The people of the South arc not fools and fanatics
aa some vile scribblers of the Northern press would
have the world believe. Tle-y fought to late war
lor what they lidieveil to be a great principle in-
volving their future prosperity and the most sa
cred rights handed down to them by their fathers.
They were honest in their convictions, notwith
standing some are so blinded by prejudice as not
to hate aecn that fact, who have imputed to them
Ap higher motive than mere revolutionary design.
Fitch men do not understand Southern sentiment ;
and, therefore, they misrepresent »nd malign it,
ond thus onr motives are misconstrued at the
North and we aie regarded by the lt ,c s informed iu
the light of criminals and outlaws, creating in the
Northern mind a spirit of hate towards us, when
manly forbearance aud forg.veuess should take the
place of spite and revenge. #
The people of the South having 'left the ques
tions of dispute between the North and Soutli to
the arbitrament of the sword, and that arbitra
ment. having decided the issue against them, they
have accepted the result as the fortunes of war
without humiliation or degradation, and now say
to the General Government, You have prevailed
against ns—our cause has fallen—our nrie g<>r«
t'rnmt nt hits been obliterated we have no other
government to claim our allegiance, and we uow
tender that allegiance in all houe-ty of purpose
as we fought honestly for the establishment of our
new government—we syy we offer the allegiance
due the United States Government by reason of
the fortunes of war—not as cringing hypocrites,
but as men desiring to yield obedience where obe
dience is due—claiming the right to lie respected
as a "people of courage and of the highest integri
ty, determined to perform all the duties incum
bent upon ns as law abiding, loyal citizens of the
United States. We return to our first allegiance
in the full attitude of honorable men, despising,
in the depths of onr hearts,.any spirit of cringing
or truculent cowardice, and we expect to be treat
ed in the same magnanimous spirit which prompt
ed Gen. Grant to return the sword-of Gen. Let. at

surrendered; in our acquiescence ia tho results
which foliowe<l—an ae<|uieseencc we have abun
dantly manifested by ready acceptance of amnesty
aud panlon troiu the President—we surrender all
opposition to the United States. Th is we do with
out mental reservation and iu all candor and sin
cerity of heart. Gun we do more to attest oui
sincerity (A tWhirc to l>econie true ami loyal citi
zens of the United States? We might fall upon
our laces and ’humble ourselves in the dust, but.
then, we should despise ourselves and lie unwor
thy the proud appellation of men: we might-come
before the General Government and Northern peo
ple on our knees in an attitude ot supplication,
but we can only l>ow to Jjon who has stamped
npon as too much manliness to thus humiliate and
degrade ourselves; we might present ourselves as
fawning sycophants and crook the supple hinges
of the knee that grace might meet us from the
popular North, but then we should be treated, de
servedly. as insincere and unworthy of the least
respect. None of these will the proud, chivalrous,
brave Southern people ever do.
But, they will yield implicit, manly and honest
obedience to the Constitution, laws and authority
of the United States ; they icili prove true to their
present obligations and never swerve from any
duties which these obligations may impose; thev
will do every thing to obliterate the bad feelings
of the past four years if they are met in a corres
ponding spirit by the Northern people; they trill
do all these things, however much they may be
maligned, ami their motives and purposes impugn
ed by bad and malevolent men, either North or
South. When we have showa to the Government,
aud the world, our purpose and desire to restore
our States to their original position in tho Ameri
can l uiou. by all the means within our power, it
is due to us that we should be received in a kindly
spirit and our good intentions properly respected
and acknowledged.
Such we believe to be the true spirit of the
Southern people, and in that spirit they arc met
by tho good and true men of the North. We are
not truculent—we never shall be; we are not de
ceptions—we never will be; we are not sycophan
tic—we should despise oureelvs if we were: but
we are honest, and return to our allegiance to the
United States in a spirit of mani.ness—of honesty
—of self-respect—not shrinking before the world's
gaze as eowardly fcloos and outlaws whose fates
should have been dangling at the end of a rope
National Intbluoknokr.—It is with unfeigned
pleasure we again welcom to onr exchange table
the old A'mionaJ Intelligencer, which has ever
been a modle paper for conservative dignity, it
brings to light the memory of other and brighter
day*. Although the names of its old condsctsrs-
Seatox & Gatjk, aro no longer known in its col
umns as editors, the paper still retains its high-ton
ed conservatism. The spirit of the old conductors
is still infused through its columns. May it for
ever live the model of propriety and dignified
journalism.
Good Men for the Convention.—Among the
Dominations and announcements of candidates for
the Convention, it is with pleasure we'observe the
names of Hon. Charles J. Jenkins and John P
King, of Richmond, and E. G. Cabantss, of Mon
roe. It is just such men we desire to see sent to
the Convention. If every County will elect such
men, we shall have a harmonicas and working
Convention, which will despatch the business in a
few days.

Tlie State Convention.
Mr. Editor: I cannot refrain from ad
dressing a few hints to the people of
Tronp county npon the subject of the
coming Convention. I regret to see so
little interest manifested upon so great
an occasion.
Do the people consider that this Con
vention is to be one of the most important
ever assembled ? Its duty is to change
old institutions for flew. Its duty will be
to place us back under the Cunstitations
and Laws of the country as a State, and
secure to us the rights and privileges of
a State. For this we most hare onr best
men—men who are not afraid to do their
duty—who have done their duty—who
have taken the oath and, like brave men,
will keep it.
Elect such nicn aud Georgia will be an
honor to the Union
But, for God’s sake, preserve os from
such men as “ Union,” the sycophantic
“ nigger” champion of your paper of the
8th—men who were too cowardly to go
and battle with the brave men on either
side—who never smelt gunpowder—bnt
who are now willing to draw pay from
the Government. All such men “ arc too
mean to live and too trifling to die.”
