Oapt. Hunan, 8d Ohio cavalry oomsiander
of the port at Milledgeville, publishes some
very sensible rules for the guidance of freed-

are to remain in force until further ordera ore
received- from headquytors Because they are
practical, ia tfae zbience of the controlling
power of the freedmen’s bure*u, we cipy them,
as follows:
1st, The former masters of freedmen must
not allow any vagrercy on their plantation, all
that can work mu it be set to work, and if they
fail to do it th: punishment will be severe.
2ad, Freedmen going from one plantation
to another on a visit are .required to have per
mission from the proper rtuhority to go on -the
premises where they intend to visit before
they cSn enter.
3d. AU freedmen is the city end vicinity will
immediately get parses showing where (hey
belong, and all coming to this post oq.busi
ness are required to have a pars from tbe’r
former masters, otherwise they will be ar
rested.
4th, Freedmen that will nse eny disrespec’-
fhl language to their former masters, and those
that wiU not obey what proper orders are giv
en them, wiU be severely punished.
6tb. The practice of stealing and killing
stock by freiidmen has been very extensive on

Civil wars have most usually been followed
by- executions, attainders, forfeitures and
proscriptions. The historian has almost uni
formly denounced, the executions as unneces
sary and barbarous murders; the attainder?,
forfeitures and proecriptions as impolitic and
unwise.
The South via rich when tbe war began,
she is now poor—very poor. ^ Deeply has stm
suffered. The president can prevent her suf
fering more.
.Julies Caesar is more celebrated ia history
for clemency, than for bis victories, though
tbe testimony of two thousand years ranks him
as first on the roll of great captains. *
President Johnson can make us one people
in every sense—with one heart, one will, one
interest 'through generations to cGmo. He
can secure immortality on the page of history
by closing his ears to the counsels of faneti
rism and of revenge, by rising as e powerful
ruler to the height demanded by the occasion.
Should he take the step indicated in this com
munication and which his present course jus->
tides us in hoping—in my opinion he wifi not
only thereby mike himself the great character
of this century but by such an act of good,
ness, the most illustrious of any age.

A Negro Philosopher
We heard a good story- told on a “colored
gentlemen” of our acqsaintance, who iff by no
means destitute of commeh sense. He went
, . . . ... lately to his former master, Judge H to
. I hare for eo many years been enduring; ask hig permission to get married j he w»a told

toiled for th« benefit of cravens and exlorjg
ere—for a people unfit for freedom—uu;
to ir.a'e the necessary sacrifices to vi; ‘
for.there whose idol is mammon.
Hero and everywhere about aud ar<
tin be traced the causes of tho fail
boulhern Confederacy—and in his'
bitterly deplores that fie ever raised
benefit such classes of men. Lot unm reap
tbe bitter fruit of their selfishness. Where
now are the in Dyes f of wbat value are their
lands f .1 trust in God that the extortioners
and thieves which tbe war produced will not
be penhittod by the president to enjoy their
ill gotten fortunes.
’Twos madness which precipitated the South
ern States into war. But it was a holy tense of
deity when Georgia seceded, which mode
thousands of her boob, who had opposed that
step with ability and tiruauesi until it was to
ken—to link their destiny with hers for weal
or woe. They obeyed her commend^ittered
in most imposing form. Are sach iSp trai
tors ? Can they f>f* moment be so csqfoder-
ed in the judgment of men who examimsnd
understand the struetcre of our systemMrif
Federal and Stats Governments ?
When Georgia commanded whet were her
citizens obedient to low and duty to do ?—
Were they to disobey or resist her expressed
will f To have don£the one or the other sub-
jected'them to the severest punishment under
her lawn.
What a perilous dilemma was presented for
our choice ?
Said the general government, “ If you obey
theordicanci of secession you commit treism
agarast tbe Union ” “If,” said Georgia, “you
do npt obey my ordinance as a sovereign State,
you commit treason against my authority—
you owe allegiance only to your Stato. Take
your place in the rank*, I command you. to
repel with arms'any attack made on you at the
peril tf your lives, (your liberties and prop
erty”
Act as we might, the penalty was death !
Can there be treason in obeying a government
whoha$p>wer and doth actually enforce its
commands ? I cannot think there is. Dread
ful would be the anarchy which, must ensue—
if every citizen must first bo assured before
he sots that it is * government de-jure. But
Georgia was a government de-jureand having
assisted in organizing the Conteffigrtte Govern
ment, evidently a do-faclo government and
commanded her citizens to obey it, how were
they to avoid the deiemma to which thjy
were eabjosted ?
This being s fair state of the cose, is there
any mode to noire this difficult problem jbui by
an amnesty whisfr will shield all men except
assassins and wWchea who have violated wan
tonly the law* of war and humanity. 8uch
men are the enemies of their toco and the
agents of the Devil and should find neither
grace on earth or in Heaven.
' The South wee conscientious in her belief
in. her right to sooede. She founds her faith
in the declaration of Independence of 1776
The South poyet would have seceded, but in

that you must be mart iedlike white peepl^by

words, Sam, you must bear the sime relation

listened quietly, and after bis old master-had
got through, Sam remarked, that he .did not
