We have, for some time past, notified our subscribers that we should adopt the cash idem, but have so far indulged them—it ; ’.tipossible to do so 1 gager. AVe have rc d iitly purchased new presses, type, &c., and have made considerable outlay, and now we are hard up for cash, while our subscribers owe us from Sto SIO,OOO. This money we want at once, to make further improvements, and must have it; and in future, no name will be entered or contin ued on our subscription book without the i nancy. This, we in ten and strictly to adhere to, as our experience in “waiting until I see you’” is very bad ; in fact, “we don’t eec them at ail.” Now, our friends can very easily pay us Ihc little each one of them owe us, and while small to him it makes considerable to us. On and after the 10th of February then, we erase every name from our bookswlio has not paid up, and send the accounts to a lawyer for col lection ; vc give them till that time to square up. vVe do not wish to be mista ken in our motives, it is necessity, not fear of losing the money, that compels us to this course. Most of our subscribers have been taking our paper for 20 years or more, and been in tlio habit of paying at the end of the year, or when they see us. Now it is dillferent, our expenses arc all cash, most ly in advance. Our paper costs us from SI,OOO to $1,200 a month, and our printers $1,200 to $1,500, besides editors, reporters, correspondents, &e. Now it is but fair that our Mends should pay up, as wo need the money. \Ve are opposed to begging for what is ours, and consequently, on the 10th of February, 1566, every man that has not paid up, will be dropped from our list. In future the name will be erased from the book as .men as the time for which lie paid expires. Rose & Burr. $I g I i_i ii ii i The Telegraphic News. The Internal Revenue Commission lias reported a tax of five cents per pound, on We expi'eased the opinion a few days ago that they would recommend just this tax. There is little doubt that Congress will impose it. Government is stopping emigrants from the South for Mexico, at the port of New ( Means. Under what clause in the Con stitution is this done? or are hostilities with the Mexican Empire seriously im pending? The interdiction will only in convenience, but not seriously hinder, the movement. If government wishes to stop emigration to Mexico, let it stop abolition persecution of the South in Congress, and settle up this sectional quarrel on a liberal and generous basis. This would give quiet and security to the Southern people and we should hear no more of going to Mex ico. Congress is still in Africa, and is not ex pected to return to the white settlements hiring tiiis session. Will he Accept. —We have been asked will ex-Gov. Johnston accept the proffered position of a seat in the FT. S. Senate? We learn from a friend that a dispatch has been received at Milledgeville, answering this question in the affirmative. It is also be ioved that lie and Mr. Stephens will both r ddress the people of the State through the press, or in answer to a resolution address the Legislature upon the state of the coun try. Affairs in Mexico. Private information, saysthe Nashville Banner, received at New Orleans, from the City of Mexico, from a reliable source, isto the effect that the French troops will not be withdrawn until Maximilian be free from American intervention. On the oth er hand, Maximillian certainly will not give any position in the Mexican army to any ex-€on federate commander. The com mander of the French fleet at Bagdad, in t!: name of his Government, protested ; \ hist the occupation of the place by the uxted States, and those who had been sent over for the protection of the town and of American interests were withdrawn. Many families were leaving Mata moms, fearful of further lawlessness. A letter from San Francisco, dated De cember 23d, says that one of Maximilian’s commissioners, backed by an armed force, recently arrived at La Eaz, in Lower Cali fornia, and compelled the submission of the Governor and Legislature of that State to Imperial authority, but a revolution was ■oon raised, which placed in power anew Governor, and other officers adhering to the cause of President Juarez, and impris oned ;he Imperial Commissioner and the old Governor, but they subsequently made k their escape. t Iu tiu! states of Sinola, Sonora and Guer- Htero the Imperialists are confined respec- IKvely to the ports of Mazatian, Guaymas Jpd Acapulco, -and do not dare to venture |teide these towns. They are completely ■gnou in, and even these places would |b to be given up but for the protection th -m by the French war vessels in Harbor. WL 'Pm Washington correspondent of |®v. York Commercial Advertiser Bte Senate is i?i no haste to pass the m Bill for the District of Columbia. Mount it be? Messrs. Stephens and Johnson. The election of Stephens and Johnson to the Senate gives great satisfaction to the people. We have heard but one sentiment expressed, and that one entire approba tion of the choice. It is true, the Test Oath will exclude them, if it be insisted upen; but equally true that there are, at present, no indications that Congress-will admit any representation at all, whether it can take the oath or not, and true, also, in our judgment, that not a candidate be fore the Legislature could conscientious ly take that oath. It would exclude every citizen of the State who did not, during the war, take open issue with the Confederate Government and people in favor of the United States, and we know of no public man iu Georgia who occupied that posi tion. The Legislature, therefore, in the pres ent attitude of affairs, has, we think, done wisely in selecting our twp most distin guished and influential men for that posi tion, and both of them, fortunately, have a political record which ought to be ac cepted by every fair minded Northern man wishing to restore Georgia to the Fed eral Union. Both were opposed to seces sion and fought earnestly against it in all its incipient stages. They acquiesced only when it had become a fixed and inevitable fact, and in respect to their conscientious ly entertained opinions, that allegiance was due primarily to the State and not to the Federal Government. The offices they accepted and held under the Confederate Government neither of them sought. The suggestions which controlled these appoint ments, in both cases, were respect to dis senting opinion and a natural desire to con oonciliate all in a movement which it was felt required the support of the whole peo ple. * The attitude of Messrs. Johnson and Stephens, then, is as little offensive to rea sonable Northern Unionists as that of any man who fell in with the secession move ment. It remains now to be seen—first, whether the majority in Congress will ad mit any representatives from the South at all. It is now given out that they intend to remand the Southern States back again under a military and provisional govern ment, for which Congress itself will as sume all the functions of legislation. Sec ondly, if they conclude to admit represen tatives and senators, will the existing test oath be insisted upon as an indispensable qualification. If so, then will come up the question as to what policy it will be proper for Georgia and the South to pursue under the circumstances —whether to decline such representation altogether or to make an at tempt to secure it under the requirements of the test oath. Every member elect in Georgia will come alike under the disqual ification, and unless we should take up for the occasion such new immigrants as may have come to the State since the war, we hardly see how the delegation can be filled from State resources. It will be a grave question, as to what the State, in*self-de fenee and self-interest ought to do in such a case, the solution of which, under pres ent aspects, we are content to leave till the emergency arises, under the general re mark that we shall be disposed to favor ev ery possible resort to self-protection within the boundaries of honor and self-respect. The compliment of this election to Messrs. Stephens and Johnson is peculiar ly gratifying, from the fact that neither was a candidate. Mr. Stephens had ex pressly prohibited the use of his name in that connection. Gov. Johnson had also declined to be a candidate, and the position has thus been imposed upon them, against their own consent, and the busy canvass ing of a number of defeated contestants for the honor. The “Dignity of Labor.” Looking back to the old social position of the South, we find a landed aristocracy controlling its policy. Without formal ti tles of rank, they had all the essentials of a class nobility. They were the magnates of the land, holding the “poor whites” in a political subjugation designed to keep them ignorant and debased, and main taining that subjugation by the strong con trast afforded by the condition of the en slaved blacks. Labor was tabooed as dis graceful; and without labor the lower classes of whites remained, socially the nominal equals, politically the serfs, of the great land-owner. — Neiv York Times. Notwithstanding the adage that “truth is mighty and will prevail,” we believe many lies and blunders will live and thrive to the end of time. This is one of them. Labor was never practically or theoretically degrading in the South. On the contrary, there was no part of the world in which the poor white man, ambitious to better his condition by a diligent at tention to his trade or occupation, met with so much respect and sympathy. While such a man’s self-respect would often be wounded in the North by the petulance and arrogance of the “moneyed aristocracy’ of that quarter, the ‘landed ar istocracy’ of the South, in their intercourse with him, treated him with marked kind ness and courtesy. We have heard north ern mechanics complain of even an op pressive and inconvenient courtesy, which when they were at work on plantations, would insist upon their taking a seat with the planter’s family at the dinner table, when, in their working garb, and the dis order of toil, they felt awkward among well dressed people. And this usage was not exceptional, but universal. The white man in the South who respected himself, was sure of respectful treatment from the “aristocracy.” It was the most liberal and genial aristocracy on the continent. It was polite to all, white and black, and its fundamental assumption was that in the “distinction of color” the white man was prima facia a gentleman. The rude and peremptory tone in which dependents and subordinates are acosted in the North was unknown here, or if heard —it came from the novas homo, and not from the old “landed aristocracy.” As for the charge that it sought to keep poor whites “ignorant and debased” it is ns unjust a slander as was ever written. Noth ing could be a source of greater vexation to to the “landed aristocracy” than ignorant and debased whiles. They corrupted his servants— taught them to steal, to drink and to gamble, and preyed upon his estates. His every interest demanded that his white neighbors should be respectable and well-behaved, and if many of them were not altogether so, the same may be said with greater force of the white neighbors of the Northern moneyed aristocracy. There is more misery, destitution and mor al debasement in the city of New York than there was in the whole South in those days. It is the design of the Government to send negro troops to the Western Plains to guard the forts and protect the people. [Reported for the Journal and Messenger.] GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. SENATE.

FIVE CENTS PER POUND LEVIED ON COTTON. Washington, Jan. 30—The report of the United States Internal Revenue Com mission recommended that a tax of five cents per pound be levied on all cotton raised in the United States after January Ist, 18G6, and that the tax on cotton con sumed in this country be levied on the manufacturers, and upon that exported upon the merchant at the place of expor tation; and that no vessell shall be allowed to clear from American ports, without a certificate that the tax has been paid. The Commission also recommended that so long as there shall be a tax upon Amer ican raw cotton, there shall be a specific duty on all imported cotton manufactures of as many cents per pound as is levied on raw cotton. A bill embodying the above and other recommendations is appended to the re port. The official correspondence between Gens. Weitzell and Mejia upon the Bag dad affair, is published. The former states that 300 men were sent to Bagdad as an act of humanity, and not to perform military service. Mejia reports that he has sent a bearer of dispatches to Vera Cruz, to report mat ters officially, and that lie has protested against the invasion of Mexico by Amer ican soldiers. Washington, Jan. 31.—The Senate is engaged in discussing the bill protecting all persons in their civil rights. Washington, Jan. 31.—1n the House Stevens, from the Reconstruction Com mittee, reported hack the Constitutional amendment, which was yesterday refused, and was amended by striking out the di rect taxation clause. Stevens made a speech alluding to the President in caustic terms, and said he had vetoed the privi lege of the House by making a command whilst the House was engaged in the con sideration of an important question. Such an act, centuries ago, would have cost a British King his head, but we are tolerant with the usurpation and abuse of power. At the conclusion of his remarks, the vote was taken. The Constitutional amendment passed. EMIGRANTS F'OR MEXICO STOPPED AT MEXICO. New Orleans, Jan. 30.— Gen. Sheri dan refuses to allow emigrants for Mexico to leave this port, and says he is acting under orders from Washington. . He does not interfere with the ure of vessels for Mexican ports. Ex-Gov.

The Senate was engaged in a discussion of the bill giving protection to [colored] persons in their rights. Mr. Trumbull withdrew the amendment offered by him yesterday relative to de claring all persons of African descent born in the United States citizens thereof, and substituted another, declaring that all per sons, whether born in the United States or the subjects of any foreign power, who have rendered military servicein the army of the United States, are declared citizens, without distinction of race or color.
