As much interest is felt throughout the country In regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops we will bo gratetul to our planting friendB and others n the interior for information on that subject. Those whq liavo opportunities for obtaining valuable infor mation in regard to the growing cropB, .the working of the froe-l tbor system, and kindred matters, of geu- oral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. The Alerting of Congress. The approaching session of Congress, judging from present indications, will be the most eventful and exciting that has ever con vened in this country. Toe members of the domiuant party m that body are beginning already to foreshadow their course upon the leading questions bow agi tating the public mind, and it is ap is apparent there will be a conflict of opin ion among them as to the course that will be pursued in regard fo the Southern States. It is stated that the extremists, led by Butler, of Massachusetts, will insist upon using their present power at once in such a mauner as to force upon lliis-section uot ouly the Con stitutional Araendaaent,but equality of politi cal rights as interpreted by them, including negro suffrage. The moderate Republicans, with Mr. Raymond as the chief spokesman, who, it is said, are numerous, will propose that the bill, rejected at the last session by t he House, providing that, upon the ratifica tion of the proposed additional article to the Constitution by a “recusant” Stitte, it shall be admitted to representation in Congress, snail he revised and passed. The Washing ton correspondent of a Richmond, paper who has been posted as to the policy of the mod erate Republican.--, says: If it be passed, then Congress is to wait, for a rea sonable ticejOfor the Stale Legislatures lo be assem bled and act upon tbo proposition. If Ibe Southern states still refuse to accept ihe amendment, then a law j H to be passed, by a two-thirds voto, of course, provi ding for the call of a Convention of all the people 01 each of the Southern leeusanc States—tho members of the convention to be voted for by all male inabitauts of twenty-one years of age, without distinction of co lor or race—which convention shaU revise and estab lish the Constitution and laws of the State in relation to suffrage. The idea is that the black population shall thus have a velce in framing the fundamental laws of the State. This is the project of the moderate Republicans. The extreme Radicals will resist it, as entirely too favorable to the South, and still leaving it optional with ihe South whether lo extond suffrage to the blacks or not. It is believed that the first thing the domi. nant party will do will be to pass in the Sen ate, by a two-thirds vote, the Honse bill ex tending suffrage without discrimination to blacks in the District of Columbia. Equal or universal suffrage, imposed by Congress, if controlled by the extremists upon a pro testor}’ community, will be first tried there. We have already noticed the Radical call lor a grand rally of the “ Boys in Blue ” in Washington on the first of December, to welcome and sustain Congress. The Con stitutional Union, published in Washington, noticing this call, says “thisis nothing more nor less than a revolution, which must be met with decision and firmness. If Forney &. Co. are determined to persist in the course they have marked out, it is the bounden duty of the friends of the President to ac cept the issue ihus presented, and prepare themselves for the struggle. “ If the programme presented by Forney & Co. is tha ground upon which the Radical Congress intends to plant itself, we say to the friends of the President, let us accept the issue, and at once organize for the strug gle. Let our friends in every hamlet and village organize themselves at once, and be read}’ for the conflict.” The Bainbriilge Argun. It is generally known that this valuable paper, published in the southwestern portion of this State, has been, from its earliest foun dation, a warm and effective advocate of the interests of Savannah. For the last few mouths it has been laboring sedulously, and successfully too, to defeat a movement to in duce the planters of that section of the Stute to ignore the Savdnnah market, and send their cotton to New O eaus and Apalachi cola. For this Mr. Russell, Ihe proprietor, lias incurred the displeasure of the mer chants of that place, as will be seen by the following card which appeared in the South ern Georgian, published in the same village Editoe Soutueen Geobqian: We, the undersigned subscribers to the newspaper c died the Dainbridge Argus, request W. M. Russell, the proprietor, to discontinue sending bis paper to their different addresses, believing that the said paper lias in its editorials advocated entirely the interests oi the city of Savannah, against those of the city of An al ichicola, aud the great commercial mart of the South and Southwest—New Orleans aud Apalachicola, Oct 31, 18111'.. Atkins, Dunham & Co., Geo. Buchnam k Co., J. I Griffin, N. liaker it Son, C. H. Pohlman, J. B. Taylor, J. 1>. Wooteu, Bryan A Grierson We ure assured of the fact, by a gentleman residing in Bainbridge, that. Mr. Russell, by bis indefatigable efforts, has turned at least five thousand bales of cotton to Savannah that would have been sent to New Orleans and Apalachicola. Hence the hostility ex hibited in the above card, by the proscription of a journal which has dared to advocate the true interests of the community in which it is published. We can assure the editor of the Argus that his services in behalt of this city are appreciated by our people generally, and especially by the factors and merchants who have been so largely benefitted by his fearless discharge of duty, and will cheer fully accord to his paper a cordial and sub stantial support. We publish in another column an interest ing article from the Argus, which illustrates its position, and the important service it has rendered to this city. Dn. John W. Leftwich, of Tennessee, who represents the Memphis District in Con gress, and who is now at Washington, has addressed a letter to his constituents, in which he says that, in spite of the recent Radical successes at the North, and the dark complexion of Congress, the President is still us firm in the belief of the final success of his policy of restoration as he is that it is the only constitutional and available method by which the States can be restored to their former unity and prosperity. Savannah Tukatbb.—As before announc ed, the Savannah Theatre is to open here on tbe 19th inBt. We understand that the man ager will reserve each day a certain number of seats for tbe patrons of all the hotels. This is a good move and will secure eligible seats without the trouble of securing them . during the day. They will alto sell a lim ited number of season tickets on application at the box office. This Right Spirit. — The freedmen of Macon county, Ala., one of the beat cotton growing districts in the South, recently held a meeting and passed resolutions discoun tenancing idlers aud loafers, and condemning all violations of contracts .between white men aud ihemaelvea. f.u/rj Encouraging Immigration. We notioein the published proceedings of our Legislature the introduction of a bill by Mr. Jones for the encouragement of im migration to this State. We do not know the-character of its provisions, bnt we are much gratified to see that so important a subject is attracting the attention of onr law makers. It is now universally conceded that the acquisition of population to onr State, the peopling of our vacant lands, and the development of our general resources, can only be secured, in any rapid or enlarged de gree, by the settlement among ns of a due proportion of the emigrants now flocking to the United States. There is one great diffi culty in the way of inducing immigration to Georgia, which is that those who come among us to plant have to pay a higher price for lands here than in the far West, and. in alluding to this subject some months 6ince, we referred to the fact that not only is it re quisite that the compensatory advantages of a better climate, nearer and more remunera tive markets, Ac., be carefully and indus triously made known to them, but it is al leged, also, to be an imperative necessity, if we would secure foreign immigrants in auy. appreciable numbers, that companies of organizations be formed of our own citizens,' with more or less ctpital, to make tbe first purchase of some of the large farms which lie' comparatively idle, so as to sell out tbe land again in lots to the settlers on convenient terms, at a fair ad vance. As it is now tbe emigrants set out from Europe—the agriculturists among them especially—looking to the iar West of the United S ates as their final restiDg place, and scarce knowing of tbe advantages which lie here at the threshhoid, as it were; and if learning of them, generally unable, perhaps, to avail of them, on account of the gieai amount of cash means which it requires. Tbe landholders who have surplus lands iu our. State, more than they can command the labor or the capital to cultivate, might especially find it to their advantage to form associations with the view of securing this class of settlers. In tbe aggregate large amounts of gold are brought to this connlry in the bauds of emigrants, which it not iu individual cases sufficient always for the lull cash purchaseof lands at such pricesasthosc of the Cotton States can be sold at, would yet be sufficient for the acquisition of considerable capital iu many districts of Georgia, and such terms might be extended to settlers as would secure its distribution to tbe mutual advau- tage of the new comers and old residents. The subject, to us, seems worthy the attention of both the Legislature and the public. Willi tbe tide of foreign immigration so directly set to the West, ail the interior inilroad lines being powerful agents in making it tend in that direction, it is evident that some direct, specific and active influence mast be resorted to in the South, if any material portion of it be induced to stop sboit ’of tbe great Eido rado, and be secured upon our own yacaut lands. That the scheme we have here indicated is practicable is shown by the following extract from a recent issue of the Galveston News Ad emigration agent sent out from Texas to Eng land reports that he has contracted with a largo num ber oi' laborers who were to leave Liverpool immedi- ateiy for Galveston. He also represents that there are thousands of others willing to emigrate to this country if they can only make contracts for labor and be facil itated m the payment of passage. These men are too poor to emigrate, but they are willing to work for those who will a*slat them iu seeking homes and sii u- atious with ns. In the case mentioned above, parties in Texas pay half tlie passage in advance, agreeing to pay the other half when the men arrive. This is con sidered as a contract binding these emigrants to work for the parties making the advance until the amoum is paid out. The amount of wages is sli.iuLt d in England, and on the arrival of the emigrants they are delivered iuto the charge of the parties whom they contracted to serve. The agent mentions that there are parlies from Louisiana in England making similar arrangements, who are meeting with considerable success. It is now estimated tiikt tor years to come the annual emigration from the crowded countries of Europe will exceed a quatter ol a million. Tbe North has had for years tbe undivided help of this mighty addition to her wealth and- prosperity, bnt now that in creased population, skilled labor and cash capital are the present pressing necessities of our State, let us hope that she will get her portion of this mighty producing power, which should be accomplished by the adop tion of every possible means by tbe Legisla ture and people- This is a measure oi primary importance. Let ns have white men introduced among us, no matter to what nation they belong. They will developc tbe resources of the State, and by their industry and intelligent labor will she he enabled to look to the enjoyment of tbe material proper ly which has been suspended, if not alto gether destroyed by the results of the war. Other States, with climates less favorable and lands of Inferior quality, by a liberal im migration policy have been duplicating their populations periodically, and augmenting their taxable wealth and political influence in the same ratio. It will be suicidal if we fail to follow the good example. From Brownsville, Texas, under date of the 8th iost., we learn that General Ortega has been arrested at Brazos by order of Gen. Sheridan, who offered to permit Ortega to return to New Orleans if he thought proper to do so. Ortega filed a protest against his tines t. IU MEMORIAM. Seldom has a community been more startled and shocked than yb the sudden and unlooked for death of Miss PHCEBE ELLIOTT. Having just reached home, in the fullness of health, from her summer idence in the Etowah Valley, she received as her wel come back to her native city the solemn summons, “The Master is come, and callethfor thee.” The Pestilence, which still walks in darkness among us, made her his shining mark, and has plunged a mourn ing family into yet deeper grief, and has cast a darker shadow upas an already depressed community. The deep sorrow which pervades her own imme diate circle, and the shock which has waked the whole city into sympathy, manifests that no ordinary person has been taken from our society. Highly educated and exquisitely refined, she had always been an orna ment of the best circles of Savsnntb; but, reserved in her character and retiring in har habits, she had been little known outside of her own social connec tion, until her deep interest in the wounded Con federate soldiers, and in tbe widows and orphans of those who had fallen in their country's service, linked her with the ^hospitals and the public chari ties, There it was dist her character shone forth in its proper light, and sanctified by religion and puri fied by griefi became ripe for tbe kingdom of heaven. And thus did Death find her, as it is best that he should find us all, preparing to resume her place in the works of devotion and of charity she had learned, in a school of suffering, most to love. She has gone to her rest, and who, in times like these, would even wish to change her Heavenly Fath er’s decree? Whatever may befall us, she is secure. Whatever dark hours may be in store for ns, she is in a land where there is nothing but light for evermore. 8. “THE NEW YORK” Life Insurance Company. Assets, - - Over $5,000,000 Ditidum (10 Fn Can.)
