When people are in great need, and have not the means to assist themselves, they are not apt to he very punctilious about the title ot the aid extended to them. A starving man is willing to accept a crust of bread, and let you call it a loan, a gift, or a charity, as suits you best. But the truly generous giver is always mindful of the feelings of the recipients ot his bounty, and gives with a grace and a kindness of expression that will benefit the recipients without wounding their feelings. It is a bit of pride that is creditable to the human heart which possesses it, and softens the feeling of humiliation which oftentimes accompanies the receipts of charity. At the receut meeting at the Cooper Institute, in New York City, it was resolved to raise a fund for pecuniary aid to the South, but insulting speeches were made, and the Southern people were given clearly to understand that it was charity, in the humiliating sense of the term, which they are about to receive. For this, some of our cotem porarics advise the people of the South to refuse the proffered charity. Well, under ordinary circumstances, we should give the same advice. But we think that the North owes the South a pretty round sum, for the great injury done to property by General Sherman and others in the late war, and the charity fund, so-called, will, in our judgment, be nothing more than interest on the debt due us for property destroyed. In this light we say to our people, take what the North gives you and do the best you can with it. When you are in danger of starving, it is no time to stand upon nice points of order. A friend has suggested that if the Northern people really want to assist the suffering poor of the South, the better plan would be to organize asso ciations with large capitals, and loan certain amounts to the agriculturalists, mechanics, and other industrialists ot the South, to be invested in the cultiva tion of the soil, or the development of the resources of this section, or to ena ble the recipients to live until they can secure crops or establish their business. We consider this a capital suggestion, and commend it to the especial atten tion of our New York City cotempora ries. It will do the South, and the North, too, more good than double the amount bestowed in humiliating char ity. Immigrants and Immigration. We alluded the other day to the im portance of securing for the South a share of the tide of immigration which is now almost entirely directed to the West. We alluded to the fact that large numbers ol these immigrants—especi ally those from Germany—have through tickets, purchased in Hamburg, for St. Louis or other points near their destina tion. It is not that we have any preju. dices against immigrants from any and all other European countries that we suggested Germany as the point from which it is most desirable to us to in. crease our supply of labor. It is be cause, from the unsettled and unsatis factory condition of the political affairs of many of the German States, there are thousands of persons of intelligence and some meins, who desire to leave that country and settle in America. We believe it is too evident to require argu ment, that it is better for our impover uhed farmers to sell or lease a portion ol their lands on most favorable terms> to these people, than to attempt to im port hired laborers, who, having no means of support, will for the time be but consumers of our inadequate sub sistence. It is better (or us socially, to acquire a fixed population of intelligent fami lies, than to acquire the class of labor ers likely to contract with labor agents to work for strangers at so much a month. To compete with any degree of sue. cess with the West for this Germun immigration, we should have a line of steamers plying between some South Atlantic port and some port of Ger many, with a through rate of fare to all the principal cities of the South. Our county Agricultural Societies —and every county should have such on as sociation—should obtain written pro posals, from leading planters in each county, offering to sell or lease us might be desired, tracks of 10, 20, 50 or 100 acres, at rates us low, or lower than the prices ol Government lands. Accompanying these proposals should be descriptions of the character of the lands—-their adaption to different sta ples, dis'aucc from towns and railroads, the average products per acre under good tillage, average prices of products in the nearest market ; with such other information concerning length of seasons, capacity to produce two crop*, etc., •* would give a clew idea of the condition and capabilities of thi* latitude. These description* should be confided to reliable agents, wbo should visit the German States, and in the most practicable way familiarise the people with them. Intelligent German ruaidsuta ot the South would be the most efficient parties to undertake these missions, because, from their familiarity with the language and feelings of the people, they could approach readily, nnd would more tnaud the confidence necessary to enlist interest in the movement. There are constantly iu Germany, Southern tour ists, who could be induced to turn aside from the pastime of sight-seeing, and aid in s work so full of promise for their native land. It cannot be that Providence has destined the magnificent soil nnd climate of the South Atlantic nnd Gulf States to be abandoned l>y white nnd black alike, or to reinain.half tilled and thrift, less, while the march ol empire sweep! in a golden tide fur the icy borders ol the wild nnd cheerless West. It is only necessary to properly impress the poo p'e of the crowded and ill-governed States of Europe with the advantages of our soil and climate, to divert to our borders a large share of the labor and capital which is so rapidly enriching the West. This can only be done thoroughly by a general movement ot our people. Enterprising labor agents, or local land companies, may do some thing ; but they cannot grasp the sub' ject with the effectiveness which its magnitude deserves. Their efforts can be but pebbles which make a ripple on the surface, while to fully effect an ob ject of such importance, the full tide of public opinion must be stirred. The prize to be gained—the development of our loved sunny land—calls for the earnest action of all our people. Is there no influence that can be invoked to wake up the people to thorough cooperation in a work of such para mount importance? This hurried glance at what appears to us the most available agency by which to secure labor to till the lands of the South may look like the dream an enthusiast. If even a portion of our people could estimate the importance of the subject as we estimate it, there would at once be the cooperation which is necessary to its success. Individuals cannot afford to send agents to Europe ; and agents are not all that is required. Those people must have the assurance, iu black and white, that they will be wel come, and that they havo a prospect of doing as well or better at the South, as their countrymen have done in the West. It is too late to bring laborers by this means or any other, for the the coming crop; but it is not too late to agitate the subject, so that our next Legislature may not prove as indiffer" ent as the last, to the true interests of the State ; but may be induced to aid in establishing the needed communica tion with Europe, and in sending out agents; or at least tender some expres sion of welcome to foreign immigra tion. GEORGIA ITEMS. Many of the best citizens of Georgia and Alabama are removing to Texts. The Atlanta Intelligencer says Lip man’s Circus is more show bills than show. Among the letters advertised in Atlanta is one for F. M. Loftin, Au gusta. The usual dullness of Athens, Ga., was enlivened the other day by a woman whipping her husband through the streets with a large hickory. Henry M. Turner, a colored preacher in Macon, publishes an article in the Telegraph, advising his brethren not to go to the West. A Rome paper, noticing a restaurant in that city, kept by a man named Stewart, accidentally spelled his name Stew-a-rat, wher e-rat the Courier face tiously intimates that it is not a Chinese concern. The New Plan of Reconstruction, liumors and vague hints have for some time been published, that a plan of adjustment of the sectional difficulties under which the country has been labor ing, had been agreed upon, in a confer ence in which Northern and Southern politicians had united, and the plan also was said to have met the concurrence of President Johnson. The new programme has at length been published, and in a shape which appears authoritative, and differs in few points from the rejected Constitutional Amendment. The points of difference are, however, very important, audit may be well to designate them: The first section, of the new pro gramme, (to wit: The Union shall be perpetual, and no State shall pass any Ordinance of Secession,) does not ap pear in the rejected Amendment, and as it is a mere “glittering generality," is of no importance. When secession is again attempted, it will be as it was be fore, by armed revolution, befure which all Constitutions—amended or not—go down. The provision may put at rest any ideas that there exists a Con stitutional right of peaceable secession; but, for the most part, that idea was ex ploded with, the first gun fired against Sumter. A peaceful right which had to be asserted by war, looked too tpuch like an absurdity to commend itself to the good sense of even its most zealous advocates- This provision merely con signs to the grave what Las now been dead some years. The latest version (that presented to Congress) of the firs) clause, however, contains only the words The Union under the Constitution shall bo perpetual," omitting altogether the prohibition to pass ordinances of seces sion. In which form it is to be presen ted to the States for ratification, does not appear, and perhaps makes no dif ference, for if tfie Union is perishable, as all human works are, no mere words can make it perpetual. The Second Section ot the new plan, contains S declaration that the Federal debt shall be inviolate, and thattio debt incurred by rebellion against the author ity of the United States shall be paid. At first sight it appears to have nearly the same force as the 4th section of the old Amendment; but there are some omissions which appear significant. Pephnps we cannot better illustrate the difference than by placing the clauses Flrjertfd Amendment. Sec. 4. The validi ty of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, in eluding debt- incurred for payment of pen sions and bounties, for services in noppressing insurrection and rebel lion, shall not be questioned. But neither tbo United Ststes nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obliga tion incurred in aid of insurrection or re bellion against the United States, or any claim for the lose or emancipation of any slave, but all such debts, obligations, or claims, shall be held illegal and not'd. in juxtaposition: . .Vein Amendment. Sac. 2. The public debt of the United States, authorised by law, shall ever be held sacred and inviolate but neither the Uni ted Stater, nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obli gatinn incurred in aid of insurrection or re hellion against the Government or au thority of tho United States. \ a •We submit the two clauses for the 'judgment of our readers, merely point ing out that if the new Amendment becomes a part of the Constitution, there will be no Constitutional objec. tion to the passage of a law by Con gress to pay slaveholders for the loss of their property by emancipation, and it is not impossible that the losers of every other species of property may be re munerated. So far as we can discern there is nothing in either to prevent such remuneration, provided the proper ty was not lost in aid of the “rebellion.” If our judgment is correct, the United States will have a heavy bill to pay for Sherman’s raid through Georgia and Carolina ; for the value of the properly lost by Sherman’s exploit cannot be said to be “a debt incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion”—indeed, its destruction very materially aided the United States Government. The third section of the now proposed Amendment is precisely, and word for word, the same as the first section ot the odious rejected Amendment. It is simply a nullification of the decision of the Supreme Court in the Dred Seolt case, and declares that negroes, as well as everybody else born or naturalized in the United States, shall be citizens Stare decisis seems a motto for gotten in the country ot late though it never was a rule i n Georgia, which never permitted the de cisions of the Supreme Courts to stand in the way of her will, and the only sig nificance that Georgia ever attached to the appellation of Supreme to the Courti was that it justified her in holding its decisions in supreme contempt. Tlie fourth section of the new plan differs in effect from the second section of the rejected Amendment, in so much as it prevents any abridgment or denial of the elective franchise, on account of participation in the rebellion. If per sons otherwise qualified are not allowed to vote “on account of race, or color, or previous condition of servitude,” they shall not be counted in the basis of representation. Herein consists its dif ference with she rejected Amendment, the latter prescribing that “if any of the male inhabitants,” otherwise qualified, are denied the franchise the basis of representation, shall be reduced in pro portion to their number. The differ ence does not appear very material. The lest clause of the fourth section seems to infringe on the rights hereto fore exercised by each State, to pre scribe the qualifications of its voters. True, it does not in terms dictate what those qualifications shall be, but it restricts the power within certain limits, bevond which the State cannot pass. A State shall require no more than $250 worth of taxable property as a property qualification, nor more as an educational qualification, than the abil ity to read in the English language, the Constitution of the United States. There is not much danger, under this pro vision, that the ballot box will be much Africanized during the present genera tion ; and if it becomes a part of the Constitution, it may prove a heavy blow to Thad. Stevens and other members of Congress from Pennsylvania, large numbers of whose constituents have never learned to speak or read English, but are still unmitigated and unmixed Germans. Nothing appears in the new plan sim ilar to the 3d section of the old Amend ment. The clause excluding from office, those office holders who participated in the rebellion is expunged. Thisomis sion will, of course, render the new scheme very acceptable to that class of the population, and as that clause undoubtedly caused the rejection of the old Amendment, it will commend the new one to the favorable consideration of the Legislatures. True, negro suffrage, qualified as it is, may be a hard pill to swallow, but who would not submit to if, when wo thereby replace in power those great and good men who have heretofore ill peace and war guided us so wisely and so well ? The Test Oath still stands in the way, but the Supreme Court has already so diluted it, that it can soon be wiped out. We have thought the foregoing imper feet comparison of the two plans proper, that it should not again bo said there was suppression by the press, of the dis cussion of measures in which the people wore vitally interested. Wo think it best that the truth in rotation to those measures should bo fully known and their effect fully understood by the peo ple, and wo intend at somo future time to discuss the Amendment which is proposed to be inserted in the State Constitutions, which defines the qua i fieutious of voters. Qrisui's. [for ten dailt rasas] THE BRIDE OF DEATH. gone from the altar to the TOMB I Suggested by th* Burial of Kri lr. —Bride of Thomas P. Urahoh —only child of Thomas P. Stovala. BT CARRfB BUM, SINCLAIR. “Bring flowers—fresh flowers—for thsbride to wear, They were born to blush in her shining .hair !’*— Bring flowers —p»le flowers—to strew her hier, They have blossomed to shed their perfume there! ’Tie but a little while since chimed The happy marriage hell! And the same church spire sounds to-day The young bride’s funeral knell! Another train moves slowly there, With sad and mournful tread, And her they crowned a bride that night To-day is pale and dead 1 A few short months ago she moved, The fairest in that throng— Her smile the brightest one of all, And her’s the sweetest song ! Here at this very altar knelt, Theyoune and happy bride; To pledge her love and trust to him Who knelt there at her side. And both are here again to day— And she is clothed in while! But where arc all the happy smiles That blessed her on that night ? Gone !—and a sadder tribute now Affection offers here; And only tears —sad falling tears, Fall on the young Bride's Bier ! Fond hearts before that altar now Bow there in bitter pain; For she—the Bride of Death to-day — Will ne'er come back again ! The pure white flowers that press her brow Twined too her bridal wreath, And spotless robes enfold her now, The fair young Bride of Death ! A few short years of happiness ! And fresh in Beauty’s bloom, Young Effie has been gathered From the Altar to the Tomb ! Ah ! who can look into those hearts And read their bitter woe? And who can tell the anguish now These stricken ones must know ? To turn their footsteps home again And see her vacant chair ! And feel as only they can feel Who meet no loved one there ! Tho flowers within that home perchance Will blossom just as bright— But on the fairest of them all Death’s hand has laid its blight! Ah ! other smiles may linger there, And other voices, too ; But one is silent —and it was The sweetest one they knew ! Tho sunshine from that home is gone, And all the world seems drear; And all their hopes have perished now With Effie!—young and fair! ’T»s sad to see the steps of age Fast tottering to the tomb— And Death—e’en when it calls the old Must cloud the heart with gloom ; But, oh ! when Youth and Beauty fade, And Love's fond hopes are crushed ! ’Tis hard to know the idol here f T. Must crumble into dust! God pity those who weep to-day Above lair Effie’s bier ! And Angels robe the spotless bride In garments white and fair ! Ah ! life is but a fleeting span— And fast the moment’s fly— And Youth and Age alike must fade, For all were born to die! Augusta, Ga., February 14 th, 1567. SOUTH CAROLINA ITEMS. The Charleston News complains of the dark, gloomy, and dangerous solitudes of the burnt district, which afford shelter to robbers and vagabonds of every shade, and suggests that it be lighted with gas, as of yore. The congregation of St. Mary’s Church, Charleston, have purchased a new organ—the old one having been destroyed by shells during the siege of the city. The New instrument is a large and fine one, from the factory of Erben & Cos., New York. John Shepherd, the groat walkist, who walked into us to the tune of seve ral dollars, was attacked with chills on Sunday last, while engaged in a SIOOO wager to walk a 1000 miles in a 1000 hours, and gave up the stakes. We trust he will next walk like Tom Walker —“ walk right away”—until we shall hear no more of him. The chimes of St. Michael’s have just arrived in Charleston, and will soon resume their old place, from which they so long pealed out the merry hours to the good old city. MEXICAN ITEMS. We glean from late Mexican reports the following items. If any of our readers doubt the truth of them, they are at perfect libeity to wait for the next instalment: Canales is not shot as reported, and as all lovers of law and order hoped. Cortina is robbing, pillaging, and conscripting. The Imperialists were seizing men and horses to aid in holding the city of Mexico. Maximilian and Castlenau,the French Minister, had had a stormy interview. The Liberals have entered Tehomemo, and are assassinating men and ravishing women. A battle was fought at Jalapa, in which the French were victorious. The French hold all goods in the custom house at Vera Cruz since the 15th ult. Ortega is to be tried by court mar tial. Miramon and Mejia were marching on San Luis, with 7,000 men. Maximilian was to capitulate on the sth. Great improvements are being made in Mutamoras under tho administration of Baniouaadal. Merchants have con fidence that order will bo maintained. —Old l)r. A was a quack—a very ignorant one. On one occasion he was called by mistake to attend a coun oil of physicians in a critical case. After considerable discussion the opin ion was expressed by one that the patient was convalescent.
