The Southern Newspaper Press.
A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal,
in the course of a well written letter, dia- :
eotirsee a-* follows on the mission of the ;
' The press of tl»e South has a pi'eat re-
U'. lilitv ting upon it at this time.
]f eve; Uieirc was a period in the history of
the .-wur.trv when it moulded public opin
i i. :hat period is the present. The peo
i.ie. whatever ma> bo their iralitical opin
>oi . look to the press of the country for
adviee as well as information. This is the
d.ue in which it 'can do incalculable good
fny the cause of civilization and humanity.
tVietl. oi. moderation and kindness should
| ;ii-:k ;t® course. Denunciation and vitu
peration cannot do good to any cause. I
rennet -e<> so much vituperation in some
! of the Southern press against individuals.
! It cannot do any goed. hut rt-ally docs
s hr- in. A candid mind, though it may dis
! fer from a writer, can read his productions
V ::h pleasure when he discusses subjects
! with candor, dignity and moderation, and
does not descend from the consideration ot
measures to the denunciation of individu
» • v>ut vituperation and bitter aspersions
a7: disgusting, and always damage bun
v ho deals in tiiem more than they do his
' aiversaiy.”
There is much force in these suggestions.
The Southern press, which, so long as we
aro denied official representation in Con
-geess. is well nigh the only organ and rep
r tentative of Southern opinion, should
1 exercise great caution and .forbearance
i . .. T.d daily and hourly combat those na
t-.rai Impulses which prompt poorhumani
j to return reviling and slander in the
. u -. e - coin— more mrticularlv those sweep
j i.e.: and Lroadcji-t renunciations which,
relieved of all the mollifying influences of j
I articular offense shown, and a discrim
inating«cnsure, are calculated to widen the j
breach so unhappily existing between the
eifi’en-nt sections of the country. It is not
in human nature when a sectional politi- ;
cum stands up in Congress, in triumphant
l alive, to defame the Southern people; or
a Northern radical newspaper vent* its j
fanaticism in studied vituperation of the ;
•South, in the dissimination of falsehoods j
and the perversion of facts —to remain ;
silent. Nor should wc do so. It is a duty !
the press owes to tho South and the
country, to maintain the truth and to de
fend the honor and reputation of the South
ern jx*oplo. But such vindication should
not take the shape of retaliatory accusation
of the Northern people as a people. It is
enough for the purposes of truth and justice
that wc coniine our animadversion to the
charges made and the particular source
from which they emanate. Bet the gener
al toue of the Southern press'towards the
North, as a section, and the Northern peo
ple, as a community, be marked with as
much forbearance and conciliation as the
orovocations and*irritations of this unhap
py crisis will admit.
One pojiit more in this connection : The
.-Yu lhcrn people themselves are not yet
fully up to all the results of the great social
revolution which lues been forced upon us.
Old usages and old habits of thought cling
to us all. Bet the Southern press, then,
combat those old habits anu associations,
first in itself and then in the public mind.
Wiiii a wise and prudent forecast let us re
cognize this change in all its legitimate
ami inevitable consequences, and in the
spirit of practical devotion to the substan-
Tal interests of the South, not only ab
. lit; from all pandering to old prejudices,
but as much as in us lies insist upon a
prompt and sagacious conformity to the
existing order. Let us go in for fair play
on the universal freedom basis. True, wo
don’t like it; but that must now be the
rule of tho game, and the sooner we adapt
ourselves to it, the better will it be for ail
concerned. To some extent, the Southern
; press has' an unpleasant and unpopular
duty before it, but wtjpbeiieve it
i tier wisdom mid the integrity to discharge
i its legitimate offices with freedoip, hold
j ness and independence, .and mi euJjight

Against Peace, Order nnd (Jood (
Manner?.
We have had cecarkmaliy to notice vb> {
lations of decorum and insolence to whites I
by the free blacks, but in this paragraph
the shoe is upon the other foot. Day be
fore yesterday, t - . w< II- ■ tj amg ne- ■
gro men, when ]Ki*sing a -1 *•.•! house not
a hundred miles ire i I eon. were most
insultingly addressed by the whitt lads of
the school with the cries “come out
those boots”— “wash yourselves and give
us some ink,’ yetc. The negroes parsing
on quietly without any notice of the in
sults, these noble seictis i.u tl e white rec*..
became enraged, a:id one of iltem running
directly In fr< nt oßthe four, opened upon
them a tirade of Uackguardism. The four ;
freedmen scjk .attu iu tlic centre and pass
ed him, but one of them happened, in
passing, to jostle the helllgernnt a little,
whereupon the latter called out loudly for
a gun. A gun brought him by his com
rades, aild h*e was about to level it at the
freedman, in mere bravado, sup
pose,) when these young negroes, who had
uttered not a word before, turned round
and appealed to two young ladies who were
behind them upon the side-walk, for pro
tection—culling them to witness that they
had said or done nothing to justify the
: rudeness with which they had been treat
i ed. Thus appealed to, the young ladies
j came forward, and by their indignant re
! monstrances shr.med these disorderly'
white lads into decency, and the negroes
1 passed on without further molestation.
Bet the youth ot Georgia, while insisting !
upon proper respee? ml belt a \ our from the ;
colored race, be eavcful to nudthain self-re- 1
sped and decorum themselves. The ‘
meanest of all bullies and iasuiters is be i
who shelters under superior strength or I
higher social position. The generous mind |
is more careful of ihe weak than of the j
strong. It is related that Chief justice j
Marshall, when passing along a street in’
Washington in company with a Northern
friend, pulled oli'his list to return the sal- :
utation of a negro man. “What,” said his
friend, “doyou bow tonegroesV” “Sir,”said
the Chief Justice, “3 can never permit a ne
gro to be more polite than I am.,’ Let the
traditional decorum of the Southern whites
to ihe negro be maintained, and frown
upon the first dawning of an unhappy hos
tility of races -which shall disclose itself in
such a disgraceful, unmanly incident as
above noted.
A3fOTHEii-C--v.su. —On the same day an
old negro man passing up cotton avenue,
was bailed by a if. fc>. white soldier and
commanded to stop. The negro, not un
derstanding the summons, which was en
tirely unlawful, was fired upon by the sol
dier. The ball fortunately missed its ob
ject, anu penetrated an outhouse on Mrs.
Wm. A. Loss’ lot, again happily without
damage to sundry colored women who
were at work in the house.

lation only the tax of one year wifi now bo
collected, and the process of collection iu
Georgia, from th< >,-.*»]-ie directly,- has
commenced, though but liuie has ,
l»ecn made in it.
Several of the North rn and Western j
States have, ns i am informed, ae-utiby as
sumeu its ecdlectiou and payment.
My information is. tha. the Secretary of
the Treasury dec-lints, without express leg- ;
isiaiion on the point, to permit this as- j
sumption by the tetutes lately hostile to the
Culled States.
Such legislation may, during the present
session, be entertained by Congress, and i
although iu our present status, we shall, i
.standing without-, witness a practical sep
aration between the power of taxation and j
the privilege of representation, hitherto i
considered iuseperabie in j
free governments, we may indulge the.
hope, that whilst our voices are suppress- |
ed, our just claims will not be ignored.—J
On this, as on other points, patiently.
awaiting the prevalence of more liberal j
counsels, it is our part, as it is the unmis-!
takabie purpose of our constituents, to uis-!
charge our whole duty to the Government j
of the Uuited States. Should tire privilege ;
be accorded, it may be after your adjourn
ment, and in that event, any action you j
may deem it proper to take on the subject, j
must necessarily be hypothetical.
Should our people, in their present ex- i
hausted condition, be called upon to pay j
i this Federal tax in the coarse of the year, I
and another at or near its close, for the j
i support of ihe State government, in the |
! next rolltieal year, the burthen will i'alAj
j heavily upon them. ' M
livottr present financiaUeonditionf it is ]
i apparent that whatever relief, whether |
ti-mporary or permanent, pop may deter
mine to give, must be accomplished by ex
tension of tlic State’s credit. Should you
incline to extend relief in some form, and
led no other .embarrassment than that re
sulting from the uncertain action of the
Congress, there arc two alternatives,either
of which would accomplish tlie object.
First, you may authorize ihe Executive,
in the event, that the privilege be accorded
to the State, to borrow, upon her bonds, a
sufficient sum to pay the quota.
If this course be adopted', it would be ex
pedient, without loss of time, by resolu
tion, to request a grant of the privilege to
assume, and a suspension of the collection
directly from the people, until the qustion
be determined by Congress.
Secondly, leaving the people to meet for
themselves this Federal tux. you may re
lieve them fmm the pavmynt of any State
tax during this year, for the uses of the
next, and rely upon a loan to supply that
deficit. The material ditiferenee between
the two expedients would be, that although
upon either alternative, the people would
be relieved from one tax, upon the second,
they would have to meet the payment be
fore realizing the fruits of the year’s labor.
Very far from countenancing the general
policy of‘reserving to the credit of the
State, rather than to the pockets of the
people, for the support of the government,
I yet fool, that a stale of things, without
a parallel in the past, and I trust in the fu
ture, may justify its present adoption,
without giving it the dangerous authqrify
of precedent. " That late of thingsi'siirn

la Navy Yards wore stricken out. >
The House concurred in the Senate

Forney Preparing for Martyrdom.
From the Buffalo Courier, (Kep.)]
Forney is rejoicing over the passage of
the bill enfranchising the negroes in the
District of Columbia. He recites with great
glee, that the whole Union party rallied in
its support without a dissenting vote, and
that, “the work of political freedom will
be carried forward through all the North
ern States.” In a letter to the Philadel
phia Press, written on the 20tli instant, he
declares that the people must not hesitate
“to organize Christian liberty for the vic
tims of slavery,” and adds :
Are you ready lor the issue, my country
men?*] do not fear your answer. The
contest will be moslacrimonious, and prob
ably some of us may fall victims to our
Honest devotion to the truth. But the duty
is ours to discharge, and we dare not post
pone it to posterity. What a field for the
young men of America! How, in tliecoiUT
mon controversy, alii be fundamental prin
ciples of our government, all the immortal
maxims taught and practised by the early
teachers of genuine Democracy, will arise,
to inspire, to guide, anti to strengthen
them ! Tlie very magnitude of the stake
will give a rapture to. the strife, and the
end will he a government in which all
classes will.be entitled to the same privi
leges, and will rise by their virtue and in
telligence, or fall by their ignorance anti
vice. • '. ~, |
We venture the assertion that, if in tho
new war which the Radicals are laboring'
to inaugurate, any one falls a vatfiiimjo
honest devotion to tlie truth, that mah will
not he John W. Forney. 'The issue which
the Northern disunionists have raised is
not sufficiently pronounced in the bill en
franchising the blacks in the District of
Columbia. Congress lias the power to leg
islate in the suffrage question in tlie Dis
trict; it has none ou the States. LeAthe
’majority ,take the next step in tkeirettto
