The weather during the greater portion of the present month, has been in harmo ny with the dark, and gloomy aspect of “matters and things in general.” Wo have, thus far, had but few sun beams to lighten our political skies, and cheer the “winter of our and I am in clined to think, from the signs of the times, that our patience will yet be largely'taxed —perhaps to her perfect work, e’er olir ca lamities are over passed. If the order of General Sickles, in regard to the relative rights, prerogatives, duties, and privileges of the blacks and white freedmen, “so-called,” in South Carolina, is a sample of what we are to experience in Georgia, I see no use in our legislature expending its time and the people’s money by remaining longer at Milledgeville. For I know of no la\v it could pass that would, not be liable ip be set aside, controvened or disregarded bv the military til the present anomalous ’ position orTSe Southern States is clearly and authorita tively defined, it appears to me our legisla tors are working in the dark. In the ripe statesmanship, pure and unsullied private character and devout devotion to the pub lic weal, of our glorious State Executive, Georgia has yet some ground for hope. In these dark and degenerate times, it is re ally a luxury to read the Messages of Gov ernor Jenkins. Cannot our Legislature do something for the maimed soldiers ? The country wants well-trained teachers. How would it do to set aside the earnings of the State lioad— when it is again able to return dividends —for the education of those meritorious and indigent young men who have been maimed in the service of their country ? A most fearful tornado passed through a part of this county on last Wednesday night, prostrating trees, and in some in stances, houses. At Sandtown, several residences and out-buildings were blown down, and scattered in every direction. The dwelling of Mr. James C. Baily, of that place, was blown from its foundation, and sad to relate, himself, wife, a colored woman and child were killed. The re mains of Mrs. B. were found some dis tance from where the house stood, terribly mangled. She was the daughter of our worthy friend, J. W. Pitts, Esq. She and her husband were but recently married, and their early and sudden death, is great ly deplored by a large circle of kindred and friends. Dr. Montgomery, and several other persons were considerably injured. The planters in this section are busily and hopefully engaged in preparing for another crop. The negroes have general ly gone to work in good spirit. I have heard of no depredations from them for some time. lam inclined to think that under proper treatment and discipline, they may still be rendered valuable as an element of our industrial system. I aui glad to observe, in the general ap pearance of the “Old Messenger”—“rejuvi nated,” not “regenerated,” as your com positor made me write on a former occa sion—so many evidences of prosperity. May its shadow never grow less. Yours truly, J. B. [COMMUNICATED.] Hotels. To whom credit is due let it be awarded by travelers, of which I am one of some ex perience. In passing Fort Valley I called at “ Byington’s” for dinner. Everything was in the best order, and a better furnished table I have never found along a Railroad. Other people tell me that it is always so, at Byington’s. In your city, I stopped at “Brown’s.” Everyshing is “done up Brown” there. The tal le furnished in the best manner and style, and all the accommodations in the best keeping. Byington and Brown form afirsf. rate “connection” on the Railroad, to a Traveler. B®, A Washington correspondent of the Mobile Advertizer, supposed to be Hon. G. C. Langdon, writes to that paper as fol lows : In listening to the debates in Congress, the first thing that struck me was the ex treme bitterness of the radicals toward the white people of the South. I expected to find hostility, but I did not anticipate such deep seated hatred and bitter intolerance as are daily manifested. The debates to which I have listenened, have been con fined exclusively to measures relating to the negro and the rebellion. * * * * * * * # * Outside of Congress, the feeling toward the South is exceedirigiy.Tund and liberal, but the Black Republicans in Congress, under the lead of Sumner in the {Senate and Thad. Stevens in the House, are as savage and blood-thirsty as tigers. How long these two madmen will continue to control Congress remains to be seen. Northern Methodist on Negro Equality.—The chief organ of tire Meth odist Church of the North, the Christian Advocate and Journal, has raised the black flag of amalgamation and negro equality. It says in a late editorial: “This godless prejudice against negro equality deserves divine punishment. She (the Church) must cease to loathe and dis sociate men on account of color. She must give her brethren of the despised hue her cordial fellowship; in her churches, her schools, her counting-rooms, must they move freely and unnoticed.” ... .. .» - General Jackson’s Motto.— “ Think before you act, but when the time comes for act ing, stop thinking.” This is the true doc trine. Many men faiUn life and go down to the grave “with hopes blasted and pros pected happiness unrealized, because they did not adopt and act on this motto.— Nothing so prepares a man for action as thought; but nothing so unfits a man for action as the want of action. Better far adopt some course and pursue it energeti cally—even thought. The New York Tribune has the following, under tho head of “Supporting the President”: “A Republican editor, nppiying at one of the most important departments last week for the official advertising was asked if his paper would adopt the President’s policy.

No apprehension need be felt by the people at the North that the Southern | planters will make an effort to introduce into this section a system of Coolie labor. A fair and impartial trial of the freed men’s contract system will he given, and should that be found to be impracticable, the next step will be to offer such inducements to emigrants as will unmistakably secure their services. It is siinply an act of fool ishness on the part of Northern editors to urge Southerners to employ the freedmen and put them to work at once. Not a sin gle freedman in the State, or the South, i, who is able to work need be without em i ploy men t a single day. From the very ! moment the contract system was inaugu | rated the planters expressed a willingness ;to give it a fair trial. If the result, so far as the number of contracts made is con cerned, is not so favorable as many had anticipated, the fault does not attach to the planters. We must admit, however, the signs for securing a fair yield of cotton in the interior are liu* more encouraging than they were -a few months ago. The freedmen are gradually opening their eyes to the fact of their dependence for subsist ence on the efforts of tlieir own labor, and in many districts they are coming forward with a commendable degree of promptness to offer their services. Before the close of the year wc shall be able to form an esti mate of the value of this system of labor. As yet the number of white emigrants that hayo settled in. South Carolina, ap pears to bo quite limited. In fact we are not impressed that any of the States South of Virginia have been visited by any con siderable number of this class of popula tion. ft is to be hoped, however, that we may, in course of time, have a sufficient number of emigrants in our State to fully test the system of white labor. —Charleston Courier. White Labor for the South.— Says the New York News, Mr. Joseph J. Mhoon, a well known and very successful planter, left this city yesterday, taking with him sixty-four white laborers, whom he has employed to work upon his cotton planta tion in Oktibooha county, Mississippi,near the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. His expe rience and observation have satisfied him that tho planters cannot, rely for the pro duction of cotton upon the uncertain labor of tire freed negroes, and that the future prosperity of the South must be based upon white labuft The AujßJHton of the Tennes see Delegation.*-We have reliable in formation from Washington Unit the me morials of.the so-called Central Committee have line! an injurious effect upon the pros pects of the Tennessee delegation for ad mission to their seat In Congress.

JON'ES. 01<1 Pipe, thou art the dearest, cheeriest friend For man’s enjoyment in this bad world given; With t’neo in mouth,all cares and troubles end, Pale sorrow to the very deuce is driven. Speak not of friendship—at the first dark cloud The dearest friends grow cold and turn away; Now warm and loving, now unkind and proud— Changeful, morochangefi lthanan April day. Tell not of love, a snare, a my the, a dream, The offspring of the ravii-;; poette brain; Women, alas! they are not what, they seem— In word’s, our angol, but, in truth, our bane. But thou,art true, whatever may betide, wealth decrease, Though jilted by a loved and promised bride, Yet thou dost whisper to thy lover, “Peace.” While o’er our heads the bright, blue vol ume weathes, What glorious day-dream j fill the happy mind! Then the smoke-angel to her client breathes Sweet thoughts too sacred for unsmoked mankind. Old Pipe, we’ll never, never part, Whilst thou can hold the weed and I can puff; Each day I’ll draw thee closer to my heart, Until fell death cries out, “You’ve smoked enough!” - ■ Items. A clerk in the Quartermaster General's office, Washington, named Jones, re marked tire other day, on hearing or the threats of assassination to Senator Sumner, that he was not exactly in favor of decapi tation, but ho would like to see him sent to his long home. The Secretary of War. on hearing of it, 'immediately dismissed him from the sen iee. The Spanish Admiral Pareja has com mitted suicide. The blockade of two of the live blockaded Chilian ports has been raised. A comparison of the statements of the public debt, as given at the close of the month of August and the close of Decem ber, exhibits a decrease of forty-one mil lion. Tt is no reproach to a man that he is un able to contend with the villianies of tlu> world. Many people use their accomplishments as a spider uses liis Web —to catch the weak upon, that they may bo mercilessly ■devoured. A lady may care little about the personal carriage of her lover if he keeps one with a fine span of horses attached to it. Some persons cannot look forward to the future, but only backward to the past.— They have but one eye, and that is back of their heads. Even as dead bodies supply the material for living ones, so the minds of the dead furnish thoughts for the growth of the minds of succeeding generations. Providence is undoubtedly tho Overseer of the poor in this world, bui Business is his Real Estate Agent. By pulling your finger from the water you leave no hole in the fluid, and by dying you leave no vacancy in the world. Woman should attend to the mending of their stockings; they should not, like Achilles, be exposed at the i eel. One of the commonest cas- sos transfor mation is for a toper to ttv i into a grog shop. A distinguished female w “iter says that “the men are fast.” Well they must be exceedingly so to catch the .vomen. The thought, of being nothing after death is a burden in support ible to a virtu ous man, even though a lie. then. Courage does not consist in feeling no fear, but in conquering feai He is the he ro, who, seeing lions on el 1 her side, goes straight on, because there! oduty lies. Blessed is lie who does net make a cent, for he will have no income tax to pay. Blessed is tho bald-lieade l man, for his wife cannot pull his hair. “Who goes there?” said sentry on the Rapidan. “A friend.” “Then stand where ye are, for by the powers y’er the first I’ve seen in this murthcrin’ ccun hry.” A vote was being taken c-u an important measure in the Indiana Se .ate the other day. Mr. , a grave mid reverend Senator, had not been attending to his “biz,” and didn’t know wh tne question was. His name was called by the {Secreta ry. He looked puzzled for a moment, and then rapping the desk with his knuckles, after the manner of card-playing, said, “I pass!” An audible titter ran through the hall, and the President of the Senate “took it up.” Characteristic Meanness.— The Bos ton Herald tells the following anecdote of certain church officers in the “Hub.” About four months ago Mr. Lewis Fish er, a fresco painter, while engaged In his occupation on the ceiling of a church in Chelsea, Mass., accidentally fell from.tho staging to the i>ews beneath, a diatanoe of twenty-five feet, breaking several of his ribs and receiving serious internal injuries, which will disable him for the balance of life, and from which he is now confined to his house. A few weeks since the unfor tunate man had a bill presented to him by ihe trustees of the church, for repairing the pews on which he fell, amounting to the sum of seven dollars and sixty cents, and he paid it! SSL. The New York Times, edited by Henry S. Raymond, a leading Republican member of the House of Representative#, thus speaks of one of Sumner’s negro bills: “ This is the ‘ shadow ’ of ‘coming event*.’ It indicates the character qf future leg islation, should the power reside in such /tands. Returning a moment to the ques tion of colored suffrage in the District of Columbia, it is proper to say that its real purpose is to signalize and crown the event by tiie election of a colored man for Mayor ior the city of Washington. •'Without in quiring what chance of success the scheme nas, it is certain that such is the ‘undeclar ed purpose’ of the bill introduced by tho J udiciary Committee of the House of Repre sentatives.”
