TO OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS.
Aa much interest is felt throughout the country in
regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops
■we will he grateful to onr planting friends and others
n the interior for informmtion on that subject. Those
who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infoi
■nation in regard to the growing crops, the working
of the free-labor svstem, and kindred matters, o gen
eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating
the same to us.
the president SLANDERED.
To show our readers to what extent the
hostility of the Northern Radical* to the
President is carried, we present the following
extract, which has been going the rounds of
the Northern press. It is the latest and most
contemptible specimen of meanness we have
seen. It seems to have been taken from the
Washington correspondence of a Boston
paper:
He says that he has frequently seen Presi-
dent Johnson so much intoxicated that he
fairly staggered in the streets, and that he is
almost constantly under the influence ol
spirituous liquor. Now this fact, though well
known to the Washingtonians, is seldom
spoken of in the papers. e would not do
so nowytmt that our readers may understand
fully the'j kind of man who is permitted to
rule over us.
A Northern paper, commenting upon this
outrageous act of defamation, denounces it as
a lie from beginning to. end ; and says that
President Johnson has not befen seen in the
street a half dozen times since Congress con
vened last winter. He has no time to wall;
out ; cannot find time, indeed, to take the exer
cise requisite for health in his carriage. VS hat
becomes, then, of tho slanderous statement
that “he has been frequently seen,” 4c. With
regard to the President it is stated that he is
the most laborious man in Washington. He
is up early, and retires late, and is immersed
in business all the time. Thousands who
have had business -with him—wlio have seen
him early in the morning add after ten
o’clock at night, and every hour and every
portion of the hours between—know and can
testify that he is as clear-headed, as cool, as
teihperate, as self-possessed, with all his
faculties about him, as the most rigid disciple
of temperance in the country.
His veto messages and other state papers,
remarkable for their clearness and ability,
are conclusive evidence on this point. A
spirit of savage vindic: Iveness rules many of
the Radical party, and in gratifying it
nothing is too vile for them to employ
against the object of their hate..
THE QUESTION OF 4.ABOH.
We leatn that in one of the Southwestern
counties of this State, there is much difficulty
between planters and their employees, and
that rnauy of the latter are leaving in viola
tion of their contracts to remain until the
crops are gathered. This is unpleasant news,
for the fate of the South depends, in a great
measure, upon the success of those who have
invested in the cultivation of the soil
all they could gather from the debris of their
broken fortunes. If contracts are uot en
forced by the strong arm of the law; if la
borers sre allowed to shift their places of em
ployment whenever desired; or if planters
are permitted, with impunity, to hire lalior-
IrouBle i.!* consequeirce"<>t sTcli a
fairs, can be readily imagined. If an exam
ple were made, by severe punishment under
the law, of some of the delinquents, it would
convinqe all parties in the section referred to,
white and black, employer and employee,
? that contracts must be respected, aDd that
•to employ a laborer under contract, even ig
norantly, except it be after proper inquiry. is
a serious offence.
We understand that proceedings have been
instituted against some of the offending par
ties, and it is hoped that, with the strict and
impartial administration of. the laws passed
bv the Legislature, which were formed with
a View to prevent the very troubles to which
we have alluded, free labor will be made
more reliable, or at least that it can be so
managed as to protect honorable seen from
imposition and loss.
The law in this State on this subject
ought to be rigidly enforced. The utter disre
gard paid in some parts of the country to con
tracts, is demoralizing many of our laborers.
They; as well as their' employers, must he
made to know that there is such a thing as
law; and all must be,taught that the law can
and will be enforoed. It should be the ob
ject offfce oports and of every good citizen to
,V. assist in the advancement <rf justice, land to
promote the faithful execution of a law or
t J ’cadge upon which depends the jrhjle “utility
? * the present labor system.
The white man who, by any means, in
duces a laborer to abandon his employer, in
violation of his contract, is a bad citizen,and
deserves not only to be punished, but to be
disgraced socially.
The Test Oath.—We commend the fol
lowing, from the Washington National Re
publican, to the notice of such of our South
ern contemporaries as fear that the test oath
may be approved by the Philadelphia Con
vention :
But we have doubts, of the propriety of
the test oath now ‘tint the necessity which
called for it is passed. And onr doubts are
« greatly strengthened by evidences that it is
•n, being used in some instances to thfcprejudjce
m ‘ n-' ‘of the public service. Second, third, and
* even fourth rate men in the Southern States
are frequently entrusted With important pub
lic duties, merely because first rate men in
the same localities, although equally loyal to
tho Government, cannotAake this oath.
Thu Republican is naturally suppose# to
speak authoritatively for tlje TJonservutive
portion of the Republican -party—those very
men who first conceived the idea of the Con
vention and issued a caH. The remarks of
the Republican, too, are important, as indi
cating (it is understood) the President’s
views on the test oath. Those who affect so
much alarm about this matter may now lay
aside all appearance of fear. If they are not
re-assured yet, we know not what to do.
Affairs in Texas.—The State of Texas
being still under a provisional Government,
and persons having assumed, by virtue of a
recent election, certain civil efiioes without
the authority ot the General Government,
General H. G. Wright, commanding tbemilir
tary department, has issued aa order to hi*
subordinate commanders, directing them In
HO way to recognize such pretended officers,

To the Editors of tUe News and Herald:
Now that Congress has adjourned, the
public mind will relapse into a state of
qnietnde and repose. All hope of enjoy
ing the benefits and blessings' of the Go
vernment to the people of the South,
under the present dominant faction, has
long since departed. It has seemed to
be th£ desire and intention of the Radical j
Congress to impose upon us ull the duties , harrisbug, Penn., Aug. 2.—The State Convention

effort has been made to humble the people of
this section to a condition meaner than serfs.
The powerless condition in which the war
left the people of the South nflorded the
partv in power an ample opportunity of
gratifying those feelings of hatred which
burned in their bosoms, from its inception to
its culmination in the election of its Presi
dent, which drove the South to the rash act
of secession, the result of which furnishes
the pretext of oppression. All their profes
sions of friendship and kind feeling, and
purity of motive, sink into insignificance and
vanish in the face of the virulence with \vhich
thej r have followed up the opportunity to
persecute the South.
The fundamental principles of justice and
equality, so forcibly enunciated in the or
ganic law of the Government, have found no
support with the vindictive lawgivers of the
country, the pretended supporters of the j
Constitution. The long cherished hope of I Ex-Gov. Vance, ot North C arolina, in a
power has, at length, been realized, and the | recent address before the literal-}’ societies of

War left the country in a direful condition,
which it required the wisdom of jfages, the
experience of statesmen, and the moderation
of calm and dispassionate judgment to re-ad-
just. The prejudice and vindictiveness of party
should have yielded to the interest and wel
fare of the whole country- Private emolu
ment and sectional gratification should have
been forgotten in the desire to restore the
country to a status of equality, and all efforte
exerted and directed to that particular end.
But wiiat does the result show? The late
Congress has-drawn its tedious length to a
close, and what good has ncerued to the
country'? Laws for the humiliation of a brave,
high-minded and enlightened people have
beeni.'passed. The most violent passions of
human nature have been brought to bear
upon weak minds. The exaltation of an in
ferior race, unprepared even for the meanest
condition of freemen, has been a paramount
object; and Congress has resembled a pande
monium more than an assemblage of wis
dom.
But there is a faint ray of hope before us.
T he Convention soon to assemble at Phila
delphia is fraught with vital and important
consequences to the country at large. It is
true it will not have the control of the Go
vernment in its hands; but its influence may
spread over the country to so great an extent
as to deter the enemies of constitutional
liberty from a further persistency in their
ruinous course, and may eventually place
the affairs of the Government in the hands of
good and conservative men. And herein lies
the necessity of sending such men to the
Convention 98 have the .good of the entire
country solely at heart. Party and sectiou
must be abandoned; the people of both sec
tions must unite cordially and unequivocally
for the overthrow ot the Radicals, and for
the establishment of a National Union or
ganization which shall extend its auspices
over the whoie country, to the utter exter
mination of sectionalism. If we ever expect
to live under the Government as one united
and powerlul people—and this h^s ever been
the desire of a majority of the people of the
South—we must abandon sectional feelings,
and unite upon the principles, of
litical barrier to political equality isremoved.
Jhe South resisted mantuiiy the unequal
overtures extended to her, until she was
overrun by superiority of numbers and re
sources, and now she accepts the condition
in good faith, and is willing to meet hei
friends of tbe North upon fair and equitable
grounds. The men who have been elected
from Georgia will thus exemplify her. They
are tried and true, and will not misrepresent
their constituents nor deceive their co-repre
sentatives. A free and friendly commingling
and interchanging of sentiments and opinions
by the true citizens of both sections will not
only convince the liberty-loving people of
the North of the desire of the South to main
tain the principles of the Government, and
to promote a spirit of national unity which
will secure national protection and equality.
But it will throw off the mask under which
the destroyers of our liberties have sought to
justify themselves in"«lepriving us of our
rights and excluding us from those councils
which were of inomentuous importance to us.
With these motives, let our people lay aside
all prejudice and indifference, and meet the
friends of constitutional liberty in good faith,
and the country will be saved from the ruin
which at present awaits it. Agriculture will
again flourish as of yore; trade and com
merce will revive, and literature and the arts
(will engage the attention of our people, and
re'mstate us in that honorable position among
the nations of the earth from which the po
litical rapacity of tbe dominant party has
driven us. W.

With all this, Governor Vance exhorts
steady and honest acquiescence in the result
of the war.
Removal of the Dead from the Crater
near Petersburg.—The Express of yesfer
day says :
Since Thursday last, about four hundred
bodies of Federal and Confederate dead have
been removed from the immediate vicinity of
the “Crater,” and that still a large number
remain. These bodies are placed in stiong
boxes, and re-interred in the cemetery at
Poplar Grove, where such Confederates as
are taken up are buried in a separate square.
In a few days digging operations will be
commenced in the cavity of the “Crater"
itself, where some two hundred or more Fed-
cderal soldiers were killed and covered over.
It is the intention of the Government to have
the remains of every soldier, Federal or Con
federate, removed from the lines of this vi
cinity and interred in the cemetery at Poplar
Grove, where such of them as are known
will be marked..
The Massachusetts Democracy.—A Na
tional Union Convention has been called to
meet at Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the 14th
of August next, to be composed of delegates
who sustain the Administration in maintain
ing unbroken the Union of the States, against
the encroachments of Congress in their
usurpation of power; who accept the national
situation, and believe the Union of States to
be indissoluble; that their equality in the
Union, including the right of representation,
is guaranteed by the Constitution ; that
slavery is abolished, and neither can or ought
to be re-established, and that each State has
the nndoubted right to prescribe the qualifi
cations of its own electors. The Democratic
State Committee of Massachusetts deem it
desirable that this commonwealth be repre
sented in that Convention by delegates repre
senting all those people who desire the Union
and representation in Congress of all the
States, and the preservation and supremacy
of the Constitution; and, in the absence of a
separate organization of National Union men
in Massachusetts, we recorntgend to the
people of the State in proportion of .ripe r —
every hundred legal voters in the comrnon-
. wealth, to assemble at? Fanueil Hall, in Bos
ton, on Wednesday, the 8th of August next,
at 11 o’clock a. m., to select four delegates at
large, and two from each Congressional Dis
trict, who were supporters of Lincoln and
Johnson in 1864, and an equal number from
their opponents, to represent the old Bay
State in the Convention at Philadelphia. The

Served him Right.—A short time since, a
Mr. Ferrell was shot dead near HickmaD,
Tennessee, by a young mao scarcely twenty-
one years of age, named P. C. Matheny,
whose sister was tbe wife of Ferrell. It ap
pears from tbe evidence that on the day pre
vious Ferrell had treated bis wife very bru
tally, tu the presence of a neighbor, beating
and bruising her badly, then trying to kill
her, having a pistol in bis baud, and finally
dragged her off into the woods by her hair,
as if to execute his atrocious threat. The
neighbor mentioned, attempting to interfere,
was aiso threatened with death, and ran off
to inform the relatives of Mrs. Ferrell and
other neighbors of tbe danger. Several of
these armed themselves and started in pur
suit of Ferrell. They did not find him until
the next morning at 8 o’clock. He had kept
his wife in the woods all night in dread of
her life. On perceiving this party advancing
he drew his pistol, and ruuning towards
them, cried out, “Which shall 1 shoot first?”
and finally selected young MatheDy, aud
brought his weapon to bear on him- The
latter, however, was too quick for him, and
shot him dead just in time. Matheny sur
rendered himself to tbe authorities, and af
ter a preliminary examination was dis
charged.
