L. Cross well, of St. Mat thew’* Parish, Orangeburg, S.IC., have made thirteen hales of cotton this *eason from 16 acre* of land, and Mr. Conner, of the same district, by putting e glity bushels of cotton seed to the acre, as well as tbe stable manure from nine stalls, upon ten acres of land, ana ploughing it all in broadcast, has raised •eventy-tWc bushels of corn to the acre, besides fodder and peas. Bibb Con wry Orphan Housji.—We call tlie attention, not only of the ladies of Macon, hut of all the bonevolently dis posed, to tbe communication, os well as the card of thanks, of Mr. A. L. Maxwell, found in our local columu. A great many of the ladies of this city who were the original members of the Asso ciation have forfeited that membership by non payment of the annual sum ($5) pledged for the purpose of sustaining it, and the support of the Institution, for two years past, has fallen almost entirely upon a few. This is not right, and we do hope that a liberal and spontaneous answer to this appeal will be made. Our people have many drafts upon their charity, we know, but none more deserving than this. Let the poor orphans be fed Mnd clothed, at all events. Mb. Cushing’* Mission.— Caleb Cush ing's mission is to aid Reverdy Johnson in the Alabama negotiations, and has no reference whatever to the acquisition of Cuba. His services were secured by Mr. Seward, and the act Is acquiesced in by the President.— JV. Y. Thru*. Deo. It. THE COMING PEACE. “Troops,” says Grant, heading the pack. “The troops ou the plains are all needed troops are still needed in the Southern states.” “Troops,” says Sherman. The Indians must be reservationed, and this “desired result cau only be ob tained by co-operation.” “Troops,” says Brv’t Maj. Gen. Davis from Alaska, and dwells on "the needlessness of a civil government for the Territory at present.” “Troops,” says Brv’t Maj. Gen. Ord, from Arizona; “an increase of force, with a view to mere energetic operations against the Apaches—the worst of all Indiaus—is recommended by the division comman der, who speaks highly of the agricultural capacity of the Territory .” Ah Ihe does ( does he? “Troops,” says Thomas, from Department of the Cumberland; “no im provement lu the state of publioand social affairs,” and “the necessity for the pres ence of troops is as great as heretofore.” “Troops,” says Btonemau, from Virginia; but then, for a wonder, he wants no more, finding “two regiments of infantry and one company of artillery” quite sufficient for the birth-piece and tomb of Washing ton. “Troops,” cries Meade, from the con solidated Second and Third Military Dis tricts; “more power” I want my mili tary Huger iu the civil pie. “Troops,” says Reynolds, from Texas, who found it necessary for reconstruction purposes "to withdraw troops from the frontier posts ‘to such an extent as to impair their effi ciency for protection against the In dians.’ ” Os course, perish the settlers, so that reconstruction live. “Troops, troops, troops,” almost every man-jack among them is crying from Let us-have-peace down, all save Brev’t. Maj. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem, who writes: The civil courts have continued “to dis pense justice, uuder the supervision of the military authorities, and there has been no necessity for the we of the troops stationed in the State /” This State is Mississippi ; Mississippi is not recon structed, neither reconstructing, and, therefore, has no use for troops. This is the bright exception. Every where else, says the New York World, there comes up a roar for soldiery. Grant heads it and Secretary Schofield claps his hemi-demi semiquaver to its trail. There is “unusual disposition to lawlessness and crime and inefficiency of civil government in those States,” says he—those recon structed States; those successfully recon structed States—and “the only laws of Congress providing for the employment of the military force of the United States in support of the government of any State were passed in the infancy of the repub lic”—for a wonder, he didn’t get it nation —“with a jealous care to avoid undue in terference by the national government in Btate affairs, and not designed for such a condition of society as now exists in the Southern States, ” All of which means “troops,” and so the song, which began with “troops, troops, troops,” winds up with “troops, tooops, troops.” And this is “Let us have peace.” [Correspondence Journal and Messenger. ] THE SOUTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE. Albany, Ga., Dec. 16,1868. The South Georgia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, met in this city this morning at 9 o’clock. The Presbyterian Church had been kindly ten dered to the Methodist body, and it is now in daily session in that neat and beautiful little temple. Bishop Pierce presides iu the Confer ence-Bishop Paine’s health being so fee ble that he felt, it best to return to his home in Mississippi, after holding hie Conference in Griffin. Bishop Pierce having returned from his Western tour of Conferences, it was convenient for him to attend and preside, and he does so at Bishop Paine’s request. The Bishop ex plained these facts to the Conference, and made a timely and suitable address to the Conference, upon the duties they had as sembled to discharge. He addressed him self particularly to the necessity of main taining discipline, both iu the Conference and in the Church at large, and of consis tent and constan devotion to the work of making and keeping the Church pure. The Rev. J. Blakely Smith was re-elect ed Secretary, with Revs. H. D. Moore and I. T. Hopkins, Assistants. The following lay delegates to the Con ference answered to their names: Rev. Win. H. Hollingshead, Dr. Wm. I. Green, Dr. Henry Wimberly, J. S. More man, R. J. Redding, J. B. Smith and E. J. Birch. When the roll was called, it was an nounced that for two years not a single member of this Conference had died ; and this was made the occasion of special thanksgiving, in which the venerable Dr. Pierce, now in his 84th year, but still in full possession of his wonderful powers, led in prayer. The usual business committees of clergy men and laymen were appointed to pre pare work for the Conference. Reports were read from the Publishing House at Nashville ; and from the Secre taries of the Domestic and Foreign Boards of Missions, etc., and referred to the proper committees. A communication was received from the Baptist Church of Alba iy, offering the use of their house of worship and other Chris* tian courtesies to tbe Conference, which wiil be suitably acknowledged before the session closes. Charles Julian Tooie, Herbert P. Myers, Lowndes J. Darcy, Charles E. Brown, James Spence, Hastings Puckett, James T. Johnson, Alexander P. Wrigbt, Daniel G. Pope, were admitted on trial in tbe Conference. The Conference was addressed by A. H. Bedford, Book Agent, in the interests of the various publications of the Church, at Nashville, and of the Publishing House. He represents that he has received very general support from the Church in his work—considering the prostrate fortunes of the country. The debts of the house are being reduced—some $38,000 bavlng been paid in two yer.rs, while the stock of the concern is greatly Improved. He hopes and expects to report the Publish ing House out of debt by the General Conference of 1870. After various announcements tbe Con ference adjourned. Cash ok tub Counterfeiters.— This case has been again postponed for a hear ing, at the instance of W. G. Dickson, U. H. Marshal, until Friday morning next, at 10 o'clock. Frank McAnany, one of the couple ar rested, has turned State’s evidence, and will appear as witn.es* in the case. Marshal Dickson left last evening for Savaauab, to advise with District Attor ney Fitch, in regard to tbe case. lAitffutla Republican, lftth. INDEED! COMING* BACK. The last issue of the Lancaster (South Carolina) Ledger has the following sat isfactory paragraph. Surely there must be a taint of iusauity in the blood of the men who emigrated to Tennessee, even from Radical-cursed South Carolina : Two of our eitizens, who emigrated to Tennes see last fall, returned this week with their families and personal effects. We are pleased to learn that several others, who had cast their lots in Missouri uud Florida, are homeward bound. - Friends, all, and everywhere, stay at home! This is your country, won for you by the blood, and toil, and sacrifices of heroic ancestors, and to be redeemed at last—if you will ouljr wait and work with faith and patience—to a richer prosperity, and a more glorious renown than ever. Let not your place iu the picture be filled by the stranger and alien ; by men who have no interest in the land, further than what it will put into their pockets ; who, as they neither know of, nor care for its traditions and wealth of social memories, cannot ever be counted as its sons, in the noblest and fullest sense of the terms. Let those come, who may. There is room and welcome for all. Your duty is to stay. Therein lies the secret of your past power, and the sign under which you will one day win it all back. The Radical paper published at Augus ta, commenting upon the report that Caleb Cushing had been sent to Spain by Presi dent Johnson, with a view to our acquisi- tion of Cuba, states some of its objections as follows: Slavery now exists in that island, and as the in stitution is now forbidden by our National Consti tution, it seems to us that Cuba will cost more than it cau possibly benefit. We cannot afford to pur chase the slaves of the island for the purpose of making of them citizens and voters, and we arc not able to see that it would be right to rob the owners of their value by emancipation without compensa tion. Light breaks upon you, does it? Pity it had not come before your party con cluded to slay half a million of men, and spend four thousaud millions of money to make citizens and voters of the slaves of the South ; and before it saw that it was not only right, but God’s service to rob their owners without compensation, and then pin them to the ground with bayo nets and set the slaves astride their necks. WASHINGTON SPECIALS. [Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal. Washington, Dec. 14. There were at least a dozen bills intro duced in the House to-day by the Southern members, to remove the political disabili ties from Southern men. The Reconstruc tion Committee intend to delay the action at present on them and then bring in a general bill covering all of tbe cases re ferred to them. The disposition for am nesty is quite liberal. Leading Conservatives in Virginia pro pose to accept, with a protest, negro suf frage as a fixed fact, and abandon all oppo sition to it, but to oppose the iron dad dis franchising oath of the new Constitution of that State. This course, it is believed, will secure a large colored vote for the Conservatives. An address embodying these views will shortly be issued. A statement freely prevails to-day that Reverdy Johnson writes that, as soon as the protocol is agreed upon for the settle ment of the Alabama claims, lie will re turn to this country to expiaiu its features and urge ts adoption by the Senate. Four Constitutional amendments were introduced in the House to-day on the suffrage question and referred to the Judi ciary Committee, which is indisposed to touch the question at piesent. [Specials to tin; N. Y. Herald, 14th. J THE HOLIDAY RECESS. The President of the Senate, B. F. Wade, and the Speaker of the House, Mr. Colfax, with their wives, will leave here as soon as Congress adjourns for the jecess for Troy, N. Y., where they will speild the holidays. The general Impression is that the Senate will agree to the House resolu tion for a recess of two weeks. THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF THE INDIAN BUREAU TO THE WAR DEPARTMENT. This subject is creating much excite ment just now and considerable bitterness of feeling exists between army officers and the civil branch of the government, grow ing out of some of the speeches made in bo.h the Senate and the House. What the bill actually provides seems not to be generally understood, and I therefore send you a copy of the bill. The civilian clerks express great jealousy of the “encroach ments,” as they are pleased to term it, of the military branch upon the civil, and predict that if this measure is carried at tempts will be made to absorb other bureaus in the War Department. As in*» dicatiug the feeling among certain civil ians, I may stale that Mr. Taffe, of Ne braska, while a discussion was progressing in the House on a proposition to refer something to a certain committee for con sideration, exclaimed, ironically. “Oh, refer it to the War Department; that’s where everything will have to go here after, I suppose.’’ The remark of Mr. Taffe reflects pretty fairly the expressed opinions of many people here, who oppose fiercely the restoration of Indian matters to exclusive military control. It cannot be denied that the scheme is condemned by many able and influential men in the Seuate, and some of them have not hesi tated to declare that they do not intend to be induced to legislate one way or tbe other at the mere recommendation of Gen. Grantor "any other man.” Mr. Morrill was quite emphatic on the subject during the discussion in tbe Seuate. This oppo sition causes all the more discussion and interest as the Garfield bill is looked upon as a sort of test of Grant’s influence over the upper braueh of Congress- THE EFFECT OF SECRETARY M’OULLOCH’S CIRCULAR ON THE NATIONAL BANKS. National banks,other than those designa ted as government depositories, arc grad ually withdrawing the bouds deposited by them with the Treasurer of the United States as security for “public deposits.” This is owing to the recent circular of in structions from Secretary McCulloch di recting collectors of internal revenue to deposit their collectious with Assistant Treasurers and the banks designated as depositories. The decrease in the bonds within the past week heretofore deposited by the banks as security has been to the ex tent of nearly $1,000,000. THE CHARGES AGAINST JUDOE BUBTEED The House Judiciary Comraitte?, to which was referreil the charges made by Governor Hmith, of Alabama, and others, against Judge Busteod, has appointed Messrs. Lawrence, ot Ohio; Churchill and Eldridge a sub-committee to ivestigate the charges. The sub committee has notified Governor Smith, Judge Busteed, and other parties interested, that they are now ready to proceed with the investigation. Gov ernor Smith has telegraphed tbe commit* tee that he will be here this week, when the investigation will probably oomrnence. BUSINESS BEFORE THE RECONSTRUCTION COMMITTEE. The Committee on Reconstruction has already a large amount of business before it concerning the States of Georgia, Vlr* glnia, Mississippi and Texas. It will not formally outer upon an investigation of the affairs of Georgia until after the Con gressional recess. CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS. The Committee on Elections, at the next call of tbe Committee, which will proba bly not take place uuttl after the holidays, will report a hill providing that the elec tions for Congress be rnude uniform ail over the Uulted States, and held on the first Tuesday of November in each year,— N. Y. Timet, Wh. A WOMAN’S WORE. j We have now before us a copy of the i Liberty Advocate, published in Liberty, { Amite county, Mississippi, by Miss Piuey Woods Forsythe. The Advocate was es-1 tabUahed many years ago by A. W. For- j sythe, the present publisher, who, deem- j ing rightly that no work that is honest; cau be anything else than honorable, : brought up his daughter in a knowledge of ail connected with a printing house. Lately his health and energy have failed him, amt now his daughter, well repaying the tuition given her, herself assumes the direction of tbe paper, aud takes upon herself the three-fold duties of manager of the editorial, mechanical and business de partments of the journal. This is an instance unparalleled so far, we believe, in the South, and we are glad to tel) of it. HeitfHrr' what Miss Forsythe says for herself in her salutatory: In assuming the position of a publisher of a newspaper I am emburrassed with the apprehension that it may be asserted by some of my friends that I am passing beyond the legitimate sphere which con ventionalism has assigned to my Bex ; but being born and bred in a printing office, and fronuueariy childhood having devoted myself to the noble profession by engaging practically in the work, making myself fully conversant with all the details of tbe business, knowing no other employment by wblahm mako a livelihood for myself and a support for my father in his enfee bled and declining years, and scorning to become an idler in these days of my coun try’s dreadful need, I am emboldened to take the position, and trust I will be able to discharge the duties connected with it to the profit aud satisfaction of the patrons of the Advocate. — N. O. Orescent, 13 th. A Sad Affair.-— lt was rumored on our streets yesterday, that Dr. Wm. West, in an altercation with Dr. George Patter son, of Edgefield District, S. C., had lost his life. The particulars of the difficulty arising between tlieso gentlemen have not Come knowledge, and we refrain from speculation ih the matter. Dr. West was in this city only a few days since— Friday last—on the night of which he is reported to have been killed. |Je leaves a family of ten children, who nave with in the last six weeks been called upon to mourn the decease of a loved mother. The widdwed mother of Dr. West, Mrs. Starr, known in connection with the Globe Hotel, of this city, and the Trout House, of Atlanta, ante helium, is now here, whither she had come in anticipa tion of meeting her son, with a view of taking charge of his bereaved family.
