Martial law in Georgia.
The western press dispatches of the 22d say:
It is stated that Secretary Rawlins is deter
mined to secure protection to the lives of Union
men in the Sooth. He will probably declare
martial law in Georgia in the neighborhoods
where these mnrders have been committed, and
where the murderers are not given up, will ar
rest a number of sympathizing citizens and hold
them as hostages until the criminals are given
°P-
The specials of the same date to the Louisville
Courier-Journal have the following:
It is the President's intention to take meas
ures for the suppression of crime in Georgia.
He was in conference with Secretary Rawlins
to-day as to the liest plan to be adopted in co
operation with the Governor of the State. If
the latter, as is expected, will call on the Gen
eral Government for troops on the plea that the
State authorities are not capable of suppressing
an alleged domestic insurrection, the Executive
will then have the color of authority to send
Federal troops into the State.
The latter looks more probable; but when the
Preindent reads the recantation of Prince Bel
cher, he may possibly con cl ado that Georgia is
not swimming in ‘ ‘loyal blood'* after all. Prince
Belcher and Prince Tomer are said to have
more influence with the administration than all
the rest of Georgia besides, and both of Jhem
are just now on the anxious bench, pdblicly
swallowing their own libels. It is said that
when Belcher’s letter got to Senator Sumner,
the latter called to himself the assistance of
Butler, and both* together waited on the Presi
dent, and with the aid of Belcher's letter so
worked upon his wrath that he forthwith up-
pouted Turner to the Macon Poetofflco aa an
evidence of his displeasure at the mnrderous
condition of affairs in Georgia. Will the Presi
dent repair his error and revoke that appoint
ment now that Belcher confesses his letter
all wrong?
If it will contribute any measure of
ranee to the President, by all means let him
send down the troops. Behaving as well aa they
have generally done, the people will have no
eanse of complaint, and a few thousand soldiers
would help trade. Peaches and wstermellons
are ooming, and the soldiers will learn what it is
to live in a quiet country and eat good fruit.
Turner Again.
We have another letter from Turner, dated at
Philadelphia on tho 20th, and inclosing our or
iginal comments upon tho New York Tribune’s
report of what Tomer assured them in refer,
once to tho status of Georgia. Tnraor says *T
most emphatically deny the remarks attributed
to mo by the Tribuno. I am not afraid of any
one, and should not deny them, if I was the au
thor. I so wrote in the Tribuno. I now so
write to yon. I beg to be set right. I am on
business, et present, connected with God’s
Church, and trust I may bo let alone for a
while. I am daily refusing to make speeches
for goal pay, to keep from saying any thing
about Georgia.’’ • ,t
Three or four days ago we published a similar
disavowal from Turner, but have not noticed
tho disavowal ho says he has made to the
Tribuno in that paper. Cannot that paper
afford to retract anything bad it has printed
about Georgia—oven a perversion of Tomer's
assurances? Is it possible that tho cause of
Radicalism will suffer by that much candor and
fair dealing ?
Turner, inn postscript, says: “Justice to a
dog requires you to either publish my denial or
let the public know I do disclaim tho accusa
tion. ” He is notified that in abundant liberality
this is tho second time we have pnblishcd his
denial.
leathers Loads on a Credit t® Immi
grants.
A New York City correspondent of the Mobile
Tribune makes the following suggestions which
we think are eminently worthy the attention of
Southern landholders:
What, then, can the Southerner do to change
the tide of emigration from its westward course,
and have its fertile waters irrigate his native
soil ? He cannot tempt deserving labor with a
higher rate of compensation; nor, in general,
with the offer of rich lands for the mere tilling.
Neither can he sell land at the low figure for
which it is every day purchased in the West.
There is no alternative left him, then, but to sell
on long terms of payment.
Eveiy one knows that the soil of the South is
exceedingly fertile, and will yield abundant har
vests to the industrious. Now we have among
ns a class of honest, hard-working laborers,
whose faithful toil has enriched the North, and
with wonderful rapidity developed its resources.
Large numbers of these would gladly_ repair
South if they were famished with a certain hope
of improving their condition. They cannot be
persuaded to sacrifice their attachments and af
fections which have grown np around them
there merely to renew a life of hopeless drudg
ery among strangers.
Let those interested in the agricultural pros
perity of the South strike a fair and liberal bar
gain with this class of persons; let them be put
immediately in the possession of small farms,
and allowed to pay the purchase money in an
nual installments: The hope of securing a per
manent homestead will make them more labori
ous and more energetic than ever. They will
prove safe debtors, as their homes will be at
stake, while the progress of the locality in which
they thus settle will be assured.
No one can deny that this plan would work
admirably and result to the benefit of landown
ers ; but the desire to receive cash for property
has prevented its adoption. Award on this
subject. The South does not simply want la
bor—it should have the best quality of labor.
Men of means who have tho ready cash are not
often of the character to serve the agricultural
interests of a country. Beside, the seller has
neither the opportunity nor the right to investi
gate the capacities of such a purchaser. If,
however, the planter sell on the terms suggest
ed, he will have full opportunity to select his
own neighbors, for thousands will be found will
ing to embrace such conditions. - ,
Through any land agency in the North, for
instance, the Union land Company of No. 4
Bond street, New York, he can obtain the exact
BY TELEGRAPH.
description of persons most needed—hardy, act
ive and persevering laborers, men who will turn
the wilderness into a garden and make the
waste teem with abundance. The company
mentioned—and no donbt there are plenty oth
ers just like it—is controlled by gentlemen of
high character, who, I am confident, will be
found to act with strict honor and probity in all
their dealings. They have the most unexcep
tionable reference. Among their friends and
endorsers may be mentioned Generals Wade
Hampton, Beauregard and Forrest, and Jndge
Miller, of the U. S. Supreme Court.
No donbt we have many landholders in Geor
gia who would be glad to part with large areas
on the terms mentioned, and the point is to
start the ball—to pat the parties in communi
cation. A man who can sell in this way, every
alternate hundred or fifty acres, at a fair price,
securing himself by mortgage and accepting
small yearly payments, increasing with the
length of possession, will, in all probability, se
cure the sale of the whole tract ultimately on
very favorable conditions.
We need snch a population as the writer de
scribes, just now, more than almost any other.
It would be a perpetual admonition and example
to a class of onr own people who prefer idle
poverty and destitution to industrious thrift and
comfort. It would be a capital police. It would
add largely to the comfort of life, by filling the
State with small farm products. It would im
part new life and activity to trade, and stimulate
every social and religions interest of Georgia
and finally it would diminish the relative voting
strength and political influence of the blades.
We need a population of laboring farmers more
than any other.
As-
From Dougherty.
A private letter from a planter in Dougherty
county says: “My ootton looks well enough,
considering all the draw-backs of cold nights,
etc. We have a few large, red, hairy cater
pillars, which do a considerable amount of dam
age to the young cotton."
From I-ce County.
SumrrcuJE, May 24.
Editor* Telegraph:—Wo have had four rains
in five weeks in this neighborhood, and every
thing looks ns if we were going to have a long
drought. Com and cotton are small, bnt if we
had rain I am satisfied we could moke a good
crop. Hands are doing aa well everywhere. All
seem to wnnt to make a crop.
It is asserted in Washington dispatches that tho
Secretary of tho Treasury has accepted the war
* which the New York gold gamblers have made
on his new policy, and is determined to fight it
out on that line, and tho order telepraphed to
the Assistant Treasner to sell two million per
week had its intoneed effect in the decline on
Friday of gold of 2 1-2 per cent •
Ksoistratios in Memphis.—The city regis
tration in Memphis was completed last' Satur
day, and illustrates the Tennessee Franchise
law. It shows whites 308, blacks 5,012. The
constitutionality of tho franchise law, which has
been under consideration in tho Supreme Court
at Brownsville, will, it is said, bo decided on
Monday. Excitement in regard to the Judicial
election next Wednesday still rages. The Re
publicans have two foil tickets.
The Prevailing Taste.—A young lady, beau
tiful and accomplished, whose parents reside in
Keokuk, Iowa, bat who has been on a visit to an
unde, a wealthy resident of Chicago, attempted
to elope with her uncle’s negro coachman last
Saturday, to go to Detroit. The plan waR dis
covered, the negro arrested and placed in jail,
and the girl placed under lock and key in her
nude's house until the arrival of her parents,
who have been notified.
It is rumored, says the Constitution, that
Lawson Black, Register in Bankruptcy, is to be
appointed to the Jndgeship of the Rome Circuit
This is the new Circuit composed of the coun
ties of Floyd, Chattooga, Waker, Folk, Pauld-
ing, etc. T>y.
Du. G. T. Wilburn.—The Americas Courier
contains the salutatory of this gentleman, who is
hereafter to be editor of that paper. Mr. Wil
burn is an intelligent and accomplished writer.

His practice is of the edectic botanic school.
The Registry in Griffin.—The Middle Geor
gian says :
The result of the registration in this city last
week was 252 whites and 1C4 negroes. This re
sult evinces a disregard of the privilege of
franchise not commendable in a free(?) people,
as there are over 400 white voters in our city.
The negroes had au idea that in registering
they were subjecting themselves to tax, and re
fused to do so on that account.
Southern Presbyterian General
sembly at Mobile.
This body organized in Mobile on Thursday,
the 20th instant, by the election of Rev. Stuart
Bobinaon, D. D., of Louisville, Ky., as Moder
ator; Rev. Dr. Joseph B. Wilson, of Augusta,
Stated Clerk; Rev. Dr. Wm. Brown, of Rich
mond, Va., Permanent Clerk, and Rev. Henry
II. Paine, of Holly Springs, Miss., Temporary
Clerk. Something over a hundred delegates
were in attendance—106 were numbered on the
second day—the largest meeting, it is said,
which has been held since the oiganization of
this branch of the Presbyterian Church.
Tho reports from every department of relig
ions and literary operations disclose an unusual
degree of prosperity. There are now the ex
traordinary number of two hundred and fifty
young men in the Theological Seminaries and
Colleges preparing for the ministry, and twenty
missionaries are zealously prosecuting their la
bors in Brazil, New Granada, Italy, China, and
among the Choctaw Indians.
The reports upon the support of pastors in
feeble churches—of tho Committee of Publica
tion and tho Richmond Depository—of the con
dition of Colleges and Theological Seminaries
and the educational system of the various synods
—were all exceedingly satisfactory and showed
a sound and improving condition.
The next meeting of the General Assembly
was ordered to be held on the third Thursday of
May next at Louisvillo, Ky.
The Mobile Tribune,from which we glean the
most of these facts, says:
Wo cannot close this brief abstract of tho pro
ceedings without stating that the Assembly is
graced by the presence of many distinguished
members of the Presbytery. The Moderator,
the Rev. Dr. Stuart Robinson, and the Stated
Clerk, the Rev. Dr. Joseph R. Wilson, are gen
tlemen of great influence and distinguished abili
ties. We eould mention the names of many
gentlemen of high character and popularity, and
among the most noted of these are J. D. Mathews,
who ably represents the Synod of Kentucky; J.
N. Waddell, who represents the Synod of Mem
phis; G. W. McPhall, of the Synod of North
Carolina; J. L. Girardeau, of the Synod of South
Carolina, and J. T. Lef twich, of the Synod of
Virginia. In conclusion, we may bo permitted
to say, that for ability, eloquence, worth, and
excellence, the Assembly has never been equall
ed or excelled.
Refugees in Atlanta.
Albany, May 24, 1869.
' jEditor* Telegraph : I notice in your issue of
the 23d instant a communication from Atlanta
over the signature of “Radical,” in which he
mentions sundry Radical refugee* in that place
who, he says, “are afraid to go home.” Among
the number, he mentions the name A. R. Reid,
the totalled Representative in the lower branch
of the Legislature from this (Dougherty) coun
ty. The said Reid was elected to that position
by negroes, scallawags, and carpet-baggers of
this county; but he it not a citizen, of Dough
erty county. He is well known to be a citizen
of Spalding. The records in our Court House
show that on being served with a writ by onr
sheriff he tea iced being a citizen of Spalding,
and allowed the suit to proceed in this county.
He has some control of a farm which was given
to his deceased wife, which, I think, was trnst
property. That farm was rented this year to
negroes, who now control it He certainly can
not be afraid to return to his farm in this
county, which is now occupied by his trusty
friends, the negroes. Reid knows Tery well
that no one here will molest him so long as he
conducts himself properly.
I learn that a short time before the Legisla
ture adjourned he purchased, with his ill-gotten
nine dollars a day and mileage, an interest in
some sort of a shop in Atlanta, where he still
remains, provided he has not recently disposed
of his interest in that one-horse establishment.
Although he was illegally elected from this
county, not being then a resident of the same,
the white folks of Dougherty do not recognize
him as their representative. So much for your
correspondent’s Ku-Klux story about Reid.

Sale of the New Orleans. Opelousas, and
Great Western Railroad.
NEW ORLEANS COMMERCIAL CONVEN
TION. i
New Orleans, llay 25.—The sale of the New Or
leans, Opelousas, and Great Western Railroad took
place this morning, by virtue of an order from the
United Slates Circuit Court, under the auspices of
ex-United States Marshal, F. J. Herron. The prin
cipal interests represented were the Illinois Central
Railroad, and the Mobile and Chattanooga Railroad,
the bond holders and Charles Morgan. The first
bid was one million, next, million and a half. The
bids then proceeded by hundred thousands to two
million dollars, which was hid by Mr. Paul Blanch,
in behalf of the bond holders of the road, to which
amount he was limited. CL A. Whitney, repreeent-
ing Charles Morgan, bid two million and fifty thou
sand dollars, at which amount it was knocked down
after a moment’s pause, and seventy-five thousand
dollars were immediately paid as a guarantee. Mr.
Whitney announced that it was the intention of Mr.
Morgan, who himself was President, immediately
to get about extending the road to the Sabine. The
actual sale occupied barely ten minutes.
The Commercial Convention adjourned over till
Wednesday, and delegates are on an inspecting
tour to the mouth of tho Mississippi, to-day.

barded.
Pams, May 25.—The elections have resulted so
far in the return of one hundred and ninety three
Government, and an opposition of ninety. The op
position in the last Corps Legislatif was 45. Hiiers
has been defeated.
The English Press Hot-
London, May 23 The press continue bitter in
relation to the iktres claims. Articles in the
Standard (tory) bitterly assails the English Radicals
for addressing the Americana in language of affec
tion and admiration. The flattery with which Ameri
cans have been besmeared are the causes of their
present menacing attitude. No man with English
blood in his veins should deal with Mr. Sumner’s
speech in such a feeble and unmanly strain. Ameri
ca had been deceived into the belief that England
would meekly endure insult and humbly submit to
chastisement, and had all but committed itself.—
Such a message addressed to such a nation as Eng
land could only be answered by a cballange. Ameri
ca remembers the plain facts of the late war and
cannot be humbugged into the belief that the bulk
of the English people approved of the subjugation
of the Sooth. Such assertions make Americans be
lieve that England is telling lias to escape from a
thrashing. We are never guilty of the meanness of
denying tho sympathies we entertained in order to
escape the displeasure of a successful party. The
educated classes who sympathise with the South,
are the nation. The masses are only their followers.

killed and 160 wounded. The Spaniards lost four
killed. The Bensa adds that the fillibuaters fired
three cannon shots into the steamer Marzella, dam
aging her hull and rigging. The flag captured by
More is inscribed, “Rifleros Libertad.” and

Atlanta, Ga., May 24, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : My attention was called
Hiiq morning to a communication in the Tele
graph, dated Atlanta, the 21st inst, and signed
‘•Radical," giving the names of certain parties
in Atlanta who were afraid to return to their
homes, in which my name was included. In
reply, permit me to state that I have been in
Pike county several times this year, and met
with no violence or insult, and do not appre
hend anything of the kind in the future. I was
in Macon several days last week, and remarked
to personal and political friends that I never
saw a more peaceable and orderly people in my
life. My reasons for not having been in my
District more than I have since the adjourn
ment of the Legislature, are known to many per
sons in the State, including Democrats and Re
publicans, and are not necessary to be stated.
There are doubtless acts of violence and law
lessness committed in some sections of the
State, and I think that I know persons that would
not be safe to return to their homes. But I
know of no violence or outrages being perpetra.
