TRURSDAY. MAY T, 1868.
Young Men’s Club.
A meeting of the Young Men of Savan
nah who desire to see our City relieved from
the domination of the Bradley-Hopkins clique
and who are willing to work to that end,
is hereby called to assemble at the Ex
change, at eight o’clock, to-night, May 7tb,
1863.
YOUNG MEN TO THE RESCUE.
The young men of Savannah are called
upon in the notice nbove to meet in the
Exchange at eight o’clock to-night
and organize a club to work to free the city
from the tbmination of the Bradley clique.
This is a moat proper move, and one that
should have been commenced before, but it
is not too late to commence now. In other
cities of the Southern States the young
men are organized and batllinj
nobly aga-u3t Radical schemes of injustice
and oppression. In Virginia theyoaug mm
started the movement to defeat Radicalism,
and pushed it forward with so much energy
and determination that the old State, which
a few short months ago was powerless in tie
hands of its foes, now expects to crush them
by an overwhelming majority. Thus has it
been in many cities of other States, and es
pecially in our si 3ter cities, Macon and At
lanta, and we see no reason why it should
not be so here. The city is now threatened
witn the domination of the ignoraut and
deluded followers of Bradley, Hopkins and
others. This should not be so, and it will
not so remain if our young men will come
forward and work. A number of our col
ored citizens, deploring this lamentable
state of affairs, have organized and gone
nobly to work to defeat the machina
tions of those who are crushing out the
very, life of our beautiful city. Surely
our yuung men will not permit the
colored men to outdo them. Surely they
will not, but will with one accord organize
and infuse new life into the work which is
progressing. Then, and not till then,can we
expect to restore our beloved city to her for
mer vigor and prosperity. Let every young
man in the city be at the meeting to-night.
Coiton St at .men'T, May 1, 1868.—We are
indebted to J. N. Cardoza, Esq., Charleston,
S. C., for a copy of his semi-annual cotton
statement.
Geop.gia and Gen. Hancock.—The Boston
Post says: “The name of Hancock is the
favorite one in the South among Democrats
and Conservatives—who desire only the com
plete reinstatement of the Union—as a candi
date for the Presidency. With Georgia holdinj
practically the balance of political power in
that section, and the section itself capable of
deciding the issue between the two parties in
the North, it may turn out that the single State
of Georgia, on which Radicalism has been
trying to force an obnoxious Constitution, will
be the final arbiter of the political contest. At
any rate, the state of the vote in the South
makes it apparent that the preference of its
people for a Presidential candidate deserves
careful regard from the rest of the country
That the name of Gen. Hancock should be the
.favorite one with them, when his distinction
as a Union commander is equally clear in their
sight, with his ability as a Union statesman, is
the highest satisfaction they can give that they
are anxiously waiting for the restoration of the
federal Union under the authority of the Con
stitution. With a majority of the Northern
vot 8 for the Democratic and Conservative can
didate, and a similar majority of those of the
•South for Gen. Hancock, it requires but alight
perception to discover who the candidate
that may be constitutionally elected President
next November.”

Working, spirit among the People—
The Elections.
Laxe Citt, May 4. 1868.
Editors News and Herald:—The only ex
cuse I have to offer for not writing earlier
thatT have not been able t® gather ixf> a
ingle item of news that would ioterest the
readers of the News and Herald.
I have just received the gratifying infor
mation that the crops of cotton and corn
throughout the State are unusually promis
ing, and should the remainder of the grow
ing season prove as favorable to vegetation
as April has been, the production will be as
large even as at any period anterior to the
war. The planters generally, are in high
splriis, and feel greatly encouraged by the
present aspect of their farms. It is pleasing
to observe also that the idle young men who
have heretofore infested the towns aud vil
lages of this State, are now engaged upon
farms. The business of agriculture—plant
ing, farming, gardening, cattle-breeding—
these and other pursuits of rural life, offer
the most inviting and most profitable fields
of industry aud usefulness to the young men
of Florida. Trade aud commerce languish
—there is no disputing it—and the pros
pects for the future are wor.se than
the reality of the present. We mas |
learn to work, and the young men oi Flori
da are setting a good example to the sarne
class of population in Georgia and the other
Southern States. Instead of idly asking
where labor is to be had, the yeomen of the
soil—the men who have borne the far.greater
labors and hardships of the bivouac and the
trenches—must manfully address themselves
to the labors of peace, ll is a mistake that
the white man cannot work in the fields ol
the Sou,h. The experience of the last low
years would have proved it, if it had never
ireen proved before.
It is a mistake equally great to imagine
that town or city life is easier. Those who
think so, ittle know how many men toil at
the desk, or other pursuits, for eight, tea,
twelve or fourteen hours a day, ior earnings
that scarcely suffice to famish food for keep
ing up the overtasked powers of vitality, or
clothing to maintain an appearance of bare
respectability. They have little idea of the
sickness of heart, the weariness and anxiety
of mind, the anguish of spirit that under.ie
the superficial glitter of the aspect which
city life presents itself to them. They lilt e
knew in how many cases the breakiog Lear!
is no mere fiction ot the fancy ot the novel
ist. but a stern verity of that struggle with
pride, poverty, debt, disappointment and
failure, wnich the gay surface of things con
ceals from their unpracticed vision.
There never was a time when the South
ern towns and cities afforded so few induce
ments as at present. Business, as we have
said, is over-crowded in all its departments
The cost of living is enormous—almost in
credibly so. Meu with families, even those
who cannot leave the towns and cities them
selves, are sending their families away ou uc
count of the impossibility of paying the ex
travagant prices demanded for rems, provi
sions, and other articles of necessity. YoUDg
men disabled by the casualties of war, or
< therwise disqualified for the pursuits of
country life, are vainly seeking employment
adapted to their condition and capacity. In
all sincerity, then, we commend tne sensible
coarse of the young men of this State, aud
with all earnestness we s»y to those who con
template going to the town or city in search
of a living, keep away. It is honest and dis
interested advice, if you make money and
wish to spend it foolishly, the city will affo-d
you every facility, but if j T ou wish to make
a liviDg and be contented and independent,
stay where you are, or go to Brszil or the
North Pole, bat avoid the towns and cities.
What Florida and Georgia want is ma
terial prosperity, the improved cultivation
of the land, and the development of our
mineral and manufacturing resources. Wt
have been already distanced in the race by
the States north cf us, not because our
country does not present as many if not
more natural advantages of soil, climate,
and mineral wealth than theirs, nor again
because our people do not possess energy
and enterprise, but because, instead -l
bringing in thousands of workers every
year we send them away from us. This
condition of things has passed into history,
NEW PUBLICATION*.
Behind the Scenes. By Elizabeth Hcekley,
formerly a Slave, but mofe recently Mod
iste, and Friend to .Mrs. Abraham Ltocdlii.
Or, Thirty Years a Slave, aud Four Yeifs
in the While House. New York: G. W.
Carleton & Co., Publishers.
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln i3 one of the moa t
persecuted, women living, and can, if any
body can, say with reason: “Save me
from my friends! ’ Contemned .fit the Bouth
and derided at the North, she is more the
victim of those who should have fostered
her than of her legitimate enemies. The
South have treated her with magnanimity,
in comparison with the usage Mri. Davis has
received‘at the hands of the people of the
North. Her misfortunes are doubtless large
ly due to her own imprudence, but there is
no excuse for. the niggardliness of the office
holders who fattened under her husband’s
patronage. Disgraced by debt, Ciektihg
scandal by travelling under assumed names,
p traded before the public as an old-clothes
vender, her misfortunes were fall enough
without having the sacred secrets of her do
mestic life and her private correspondence
paraded before the public by a mulattto wo
man, who advertises in her book that
she does sewing at No. 14 Carroll
Place, fourth story. We can in some
degree excuse the “authoress” for this
recreancy to her benefactress, but can
only regard the white adventurer who
planned aud wrote the book as infamous.
Its typographical appearance does credit to
the publishers, but we regret that they
should lend their hand to the issuing of such
a publication. It purports to be a defence
of Mrs. Lincoln, but in doing so makes her
out a woman of great extravagance, whim
sical temper, an enemy of Johnson, Chase,
McClellan, Seward and Grant, deranged in
mind, travelling a thousand miles to strange
hotels as Mrs. Morris and Mrs. Clarke, man
aging her clo'he3 and diamond speculation
so poorly as to spoil the sale, and, worst oi
all, having a colored wench for her bosom
friend. Of course, as beiag an expose of the
secret sayiugs and doings inside the scenes
at the White House during an interesting
and mysterious period, the book will be
much sought for. It appears to have the
merit of truth. The portion devoted to
slave-life is of an obsolete character, even
the Auti-Slavery Society have stopped that
cluS3 of publications. It describes some
whipping, but otherwise gives a very plea
sant view of slavery.

The mere announcement of a new book
by the authoress ot “Nathalie,” “Adele, 1
‘ Queen Mab,” &3., is sufficient to ensure a
large sale. Her works are vigorous but not
sensational, with substantial superstructures,
elaborate in plot, but not diffuse in composi
tion. The web of this plot appears to be
somewhat intricate but ingeniously con
structed, and the extracts we have read in
dicate a full infusion of the author’s genius
into the book. It is one we can heartily
recommend in these days of trashy novels.

Mr. Piaget is a watchmaker of forty years

All the leading members of the trade recom

By our own unaided efforts it would re

as soon as the Radicals allow the country to
become settled, the State will soon reach

maoy adverse influences under which she
labored.
Agriculture, as an exclusive pursuit, the
bane of the South, must be now the
first stepping stone ia the path that
will lead to general prosperity, but it
ehould be borne iu mind by all that it
will not do, now, with hired libor to nave

that might have been grown on fifty. If
half is sold and the balaoce cultivated bet

there is abundance of capital to work them :
but iu the present circumstances of Georgia

The building was crowded to its utmost
capacity, and standing room could hardly be
found, it was the first visit cf Biabop
Beckwith, oi the Diocese of Georgia, to our
city, aud everything was of the most admira
ble character.
Bishop Beckwith preached ^ during the
service, commencing at 10j o’clock, from
the text: “And Felix trembled.” Afterwards
occurred the riles of Confirmation and Holy
communion.
At night no service was held at the other
churches. Dr. DeVotie and Mr. Hail,
•pastors of the Baptist and Presbyterian
Churches, were absent from Columbus.
There being a general desire to hear the
Bishop, and the Episcopal building not
being sufficiently large to accommodate the
numerous auditory, the kind tender of the
Presbyterian Cburch for the occasion was
accepted. The main room and galleries were
crowded with some eight or nine hundred
people.
Bishop Beokwith preached from the text:
“Be strong and quit yourselves like men”—
the subject being Christian Unity. With
the sermon, representatives of ail denomina
tions were most highly pleased. From the
descriptions contaiued in the papers we had
expected something extraordinary from the
speaker, and our most high wrought antici

Washington, May 6 —House—Mr. Stevens
was called to order by the Speaker in bis
Aita Vela explanation, and withdrew it all.
The part read is very caustic on Nelson.
Cary’s resolution withdrawing the tenth
article was not entertained, by a strict party
vote.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole, with the understanding that
speakers avoid discussing impeachment.
Senate—'The Impeachment Court was
deusely crowded. Bingham concluded, in
effect, us follows: He might be pardoned
for quoting the words ot England’s great
historian, that “bad the case against
James failed, the Tree of Liberty would
have crumbled ; ” aud shall it be
said in history hereafter, that through
the defection of the American Senate
the fair fabric oi Americau iibrrty crumbled
into the dust, and the name of our Republic
faded away before the nations. It is the
spirit of justice, of liberty, of equality, that
makes your Constitution respectad .every
where. It gives the people the right to
make their own laws, and it is this right
which is challenged by your recreant Presi
dent; he claims the power to make the laws,
to be their dictator. If he is allowed to do
so it will be by the voice of the Senate not
by the free wili*of (he American people or
through any neglect of tneir representatives.
Will me Senate set him above the Constitu
tion which he has violated and which he swore
to ob y? Perhaps he was saying too mucb,
but he asked {Senators to remember that he
was speaking to day iu behalf ot
violated Constitution and laws, of
(he rights of a free people; that
fie was speaking in the name of
naif a million of braves who slept in
death to-day, who died that the nation
migfit live. It only remained for him to
ihunk the Senate ior their attention, aud to
demand in the name of the House ot Repre
sentatives, aud of a free people, the convic
tion of the accused President who- elands
guilty before God and man of the high
criintsand misdemeanors of which he stands
impeached.
Applause followed, and Mr. Chase ordered
the galleries to be cleared*
A. motion to adjourn until Saturday was
lost by a vote of 20 to 29. The doors then

His proposition to take a drink meant no

Grant sent a message to Congress, cover

the evil effects of compelling State officers
in North and South Carolina to take the test

feeling that unworthy motives will be attrib

IA CARD-TO THE PUBLIC.
gAVANVAH, May 6,1863.
On returning to the city alter a short absence, my
attention is called to an article in the Savannah Daily
Advertiser, of theWtb alt., styled—“Who is »ixon?»*
over the assumed name of “Paul Pry.”
I do not think It would become me to notice this
basely abusive article, further than in pronouncing it
slanderous and false In every particular, as I can show
to all who are strangers to my character and history.
