Let our agents make a note of the above.
Our Subscription List

doing so, but are delaying. To all such we would
»ay, when von read this, wii-right down and order
tbo “Journal," or authoriza the agent nearest to
you to order it for you.
To Onr Friend*.
Thi* is the time to" work for the Journal. Are
you at it. Do vow show it to vonr neighbors and
tel! them to subscribe for it ? Think about this
when they come in your stores and business
places. Gel their names. Tell them there it no
use to “see about it” any longer. ROW, ftiends,
and we will soon have a subset ip'ion hst that will
do to brag on.

We would be pleased. U> publish contributions
of a nature to prove interesting to our readers
generally, hut nothing sectarian or denominational
will he admitted. While we deem it our dutv as
journalists, to keep our readers posted tn general
religions matters, the Journal will ever maintain

Important Kill*.
The Legislature has passed a b'll “to define the
status of persons of color and to regulate their
rights.” Also a bill “to regulate proceeding! in
winding up affairs of insolvent Banks "
Bv a join' resolution the Legislators has deter'
ruined to adjourn on the 13th lust.
For particulars *ee proceedings.
Sustaining Hie President.
In San Francisco, Baltimore, Washington and
many other important cities, largo and enthusiasm
tic meetings hate been held ondorsi-g the action
of the President in vetoisg the Freedman’s Bu
rcau Bill.
Gen. Grant’* Order.
We publish below an order trom Gen. Grant i
eal I>g upon Department Commanders to send to
headquarters “ such copies of newspapers as con
tain sentiments of disloyalty and hostility to the
Government, in any of its branches,” etc. -
We would like to. know wW- ‘
lumern press, so far as we have been able to see,
have published nothing disloyal or hostile to the
Government, since the general accepta'ion of the
new order of things. True, some editors speak in
■trong terms against, the radicalism of the North—
Sumner, Stevens & Cos., are frequently alluded to
M disturbers of the public peace—but futher than
this, we have discovered no disloyalty in the col- j
amn« of Southern newspapers.
The fact is, Southern j nirnnls should have no
thing to fear from this ord-r. The dislovalty is
not with them, but to fjund in the columns of the
Northern radical press. In these Gen. Grant will
find hostility to the Government expressed daily
They sre laboring with might and main to ruin the
Government. While our noble President is bat
tling for the restoration and perpetuation of the
nation, they curse him with the bitterness of de
mons, Were it not for these journals, and the
supporters of their ruinous creed, there would now
be peace and harmony throughout our land.
Let the order fce carried out, say we. Stop the
abuse of the President—the opposition to the Con
stitution—the disruptors of the Government every
where. If the press is to be under the direction
of military power, let that power be exercised
North ss well as South.
We repeat, we have no disloyalty among us of
the South. We have no agitators in our ranks.—
We abide by the Constitution—yield to the laws
of the land, and heartily endorse the action of our
Chief Magistrate.. We are with the conservative*
of the North, heart and soul—ready to battle with
them against the disloyalty and hostility of the
radicals to Government, either at the ballot-box
or— :n any other way.
“A ou will p’ease stgw’; ' to these headquarters as
•oon as practicable, and from time to time hereaf
ter, such copies of newspapers published in your
department as contain sentiments of dislo.val.i-y and
hostility to the Government in any of its branches,
and state whether such paper is habitual in its ut
terance of such sentiments. The per-is'ent ptfbli
cation of articles calculated to keep up a bad state
of feeling between the people of the different sec
tiwns of the country, cannot be tolerated, and this
information is called for with a view to their sup
pression, which will fie done from these headquar
ters oolv.

The Pmideul vs. the ltadicals.
A special telegram to the New York News, from
Washington, says that the Kadicals of both houses
appear to be pertectly stupified by the bold and
decided stand which the President has taken.
They are holding private caucuses to determine
what to do about it.
The sahie telegram also contains a sensational
item to the effect that the President had stated
that the time had come when he, as President of
the whole country, must see to it that the eleven
Southern States are r.o longer deprived of that
representation in Congress which is secured to
them by the Constitution. It is reported, indeed,
that the President will summon the Southern Sen
ators and Representatives to Washington ; satisfy i
himself of their loyalty and actual legal election,
and then require their immediate admission to their
their seats. *
Whether these items are sensational or other*
wise, all the late acts of the President go to show
that the arrogance and obstinaay of the Radicals
is becoming intolerable, and that he will support
the Constitution in all its provisions, despite their
s'ubborn efforts to destroy it,

The President’* Veto.
If any thing has been lacking heretofore, to con
vince the people of this country of the determina
tion of the present Chief Magistrate, to perform
the great task which lies before him—that of re-
I constructing the political sisteihood of the Stales
—in a disposition of friendship to all secions, the
i late message vetoing the action of Congress in re*
gard to the Fieeduiau’eßureau Bill,contains aenti
ments sufficiently statesmanlike and patriotic to
fill the bill of Ihe molt fastidious political critic,
j Piesideu' Johnson stands as a wall of protection
between the South and that fanatical horde who
would biiug this section to a worse condition than
I their own wickedly prejudiced hearts deserve. —
] May he be guided by wisdom, and upheld by the
| great Ruler of Nations.
| We copy some paragrahs of the message as
; prominently expressive of the spirit of patriotism
which characterizes the entire document :
I cannot reconaila a system of Military juris- ,
diction’of this kind with the words of the Cunsti»|
cion, which declare that.“no person shall be held j
to answer for a capital pr otherwise infamous crime |
unless on a presentment or indic'ineut of a grand ;
jury, except iu caves arising in the land or naya. j
lorce, or ill the militia, when in actual service, in j
time of war and public danger and that “in ail
criminal prosecutions the accused shuil erj -y the
right to a speedy and public trial bv an impartial
jury of the State or district wherein the crime
skail'have been tommitled."
The safeguards which the wisdom and expe
rionceof sg s taught our fathers to establish us
securities for the protection oi the innocent, the
punishment of the guiltv, and the equal adminis
; i ration of j rialiee, SfC t.O he set aside, and for' the
[ sale of more-■vigswouS. interposition in behalf of
jftftfice we are to take the lisa of the many acts.of
injustice that would of necessity' follow from an
almost countless number of agents enablisbed iu
everv parish or county ill nearly a third of the
Slates of the Union, over whose decision there is
to tie no supervision or control by the Federal
Courts.
The power that wduld thus be placed in the
bands of the Piesident, is such as in lime* of pedee
and tecuritv, ought never to tic entrusted to any
one man. If it be asked whether ibe creation of
such a tribunal within a State is warranted as a
measure of war, thcques'ion immediately presents
itself, whether we are still engaged in war.
Let us not unnrcessnrily disturb the course and
credit and industry of the country, by declaring to
the American people, and the world, tiiat the
United States are still in a condition of civil war.
At present there is no part of our country in
which the authority of the United States is dis
puted. Offenses that may be committed by indi
viduals should not work a foifetture of right ol the
same communities. The country has entered, or
is returning to, a state of peace aDd industry, and
the war, in fac', is at an end. The measure,
therefore, seems to be as inconsistent w ith the ac* j
tual condition of iho country os it is at variance i
with the Uonstitu-ion of the United States. I*, 1
passing from general consideration, we examine J
the bill in detail, it is open to weighty exceptions.
In time of war it was eminently proper that we
should provide for those who were passing sudden
ly from a condition of bondage to a state of bee
dom, but this bill proposes to make the I reed
man’s Bureau, established by an »<'t ol 18H5, as
one of the many great and extraordinary military
measures to suppress a formidable rebellion, a
pormanent brat c J of the public admiuistiation,
with its powers greatly enlarged.
The Congress of the United State* has never
heretofore thought itself competent to establish
any laws beyond the limits of the Disnict of Cos
lumbia, except for the. benefit of our disab ed sol
diers and sailors. It has never founded schools
for any class of our own people, not even for the
orphans of those who have fallen iu defense of the
Union, but has left the care of their education to
the much more competent control of the Sta'es,
of commuriiies, of private associations, an 1 of in*
dividuals. It has never deeiffed itself authorized
to expend public money for the rent or purchase
of houses for the thousands, not to say millions of
the white race who aie honestly toiling day by day
for their subsistence.
A system for the support of indigent persons in
the United States was never contemplated by the
authors of the. Constitution, nor- nart ass.-sasd
meat, jt should be founded for one class or color
of our citizens more than for another. Pend tig
the war many Tefugee- and freedtnen received
support fiom the Government, but it was nevpr
intended thev should henceforth be fed, clothed,
educated, and sheltered bv the United States. .
The approbation asked by the Fneedmen’s Bu
reau, as was established- for the vear 1866, a
mounts to $11,475 000. It may safely be estima
ted thi t the cost to he incurred, uuder the pendine
bill will require double the amount more than the
entire sum expended in anv one year under the
administration of the second Adams.
There are still further objections to the bill on
the grounds seriouslv ass -ctirg the class of persons
to whom it is designed to bring relief. It will
tend to keep the minds of the freedmen in a sta'e
of uncertain exp ctation and restlessness, while to
those among whom he liTea it will be a source of
constant and vague apprehension.
Speaking of the establishment of the Bureau
as provided for in the bill, the President says :
Such an Asylum would inevitable tend to such a
concentration of power in the Executive which
would enable him, if so disposed, to coutrol the
action of a numerous class, and use them for the
attainment of hia own pol t'e 1 ends.
I cannot but add another grave ohjec'lon to the
bil'. The Constitn ion imperatively declares, in
connection with taxation, that each S ate shall
have at least one R-presentative, and fixes the
rule for the number to which in future times,.each
State shall be entitled.
It also p-ovidea that the Senate of the United
States shall he composed of two Senators from
each State, and adds with peculiar force, that no
State without its consent shall be deprived of its
suffrage. In the Senate the original act was tic
crssarilt pa-sed io the absence of tho States, ctyef
lv tn ho affected, because their people were then
contumaciously engaged in the rebellion. Now
the case is charged, and some at least of the
States, are attending Congress by loyal Represen
tatives, soliciting the allowance of the constitution
al right of representation.
At the time, however, of the consideration and
passage ol the bill, there was no Senator or Rep
resentative in Congress from the eleven Slates,
which are to be ntiinly affected by its provisions
The President is chosen by tho people of all the
States. Eleven Sta'es are not at this time tepre
sented in either branch of Congress. It would
eeo-w to be his duty, on all proper occasions, to
present their just claims on Congress.
The Position in Washington. — It isevi
•lent from Washington advices, that the rup
ture between the Administration and the
Radicals is now openly declared by “that
man at the other end of the avenue,” as
Mr. Stevens contemptuously styles Mr
Johnson.
The President bas told a Democratic Sen
ator that he wiil ‘‘show the e men in a few
days,” whether they can brat bin) or not.
Steven's conduct in driving through the
. amendment matter, over tho President’s
■ woll-knoan wishes, has aroused some of the
j “old Jack ion” in the latter ; and having in
j vain appea ca to their feelings, letter writers
now say ho will touch these Radicals
“on the raw” by a summary decapitation of
some of the head Radical pets.— Chronicle
and Sentinel.
The Louisiana Sugar Crop. — The su
gar crop us Louisiana for the season of
1865 6 is stated at 11,967 hogshead? against
hogsheads in 1861-2. This & better
than we feared. Tho crop of 1864-5 was
6,668 hogsheads.
„.£3T A Washington dispatch to the
Philadelphia Inquirer says it is probable

Tiic Importation and ■uimigrn
tlon of Foreign Field-Laborer*.
Micssits. Editors:— The Pubic have of J
Into been greatly encouraged to look to i
Europe in part, tor an abundant and inex-1
baustiblo supply of laborer*, with'the view|
ol ultimately supplanting tbo regro, or of j
stimulating him to greater exertion by this
threatened competition. 'This scheme bus
had its oiigin in the minds of the same
persons thut, some years since, fancied that
‘•Cotton was King," and lias been encour
aged and taken advantage of by needy
foreign adventurers, who desire ft .trip to
Eur j»e at the expense of a few “guilabV’
planters. I predict that wo shall hear
nothing more of this subject after the next
two years, and shall now proceed to give
my reason for my want of conbdenoe iu
the success of the movement' • .
The Soifthern planters wants laborers to
take the place of the negro, to 1#? in bis
cabins, to he fed and clothed and. paid in a
manner similar to bis predecessor. Jbe
agent sent out to Europe may succeed by
artful representation to arouse in the art
less Irish and G rtnun peasant, a desire to
realize the golden promisee held out to
him; numbers w.ll come over for a while,
but neither employer nor employee, will
long be sa isfied with the contract However
patient and p'oddhig tliode. nlaii fmty be in
bis Fatherland, ye>'iK> sooner 'Bites be land
onjtHtefle shores than he commences ari iin
sottlek, roving life; for he cannot find what
lie had pictured .in'bis glowing imagination.
Few ol those imported laborers will long
remain content and with a life, such as it is,
on a Southern plantation. Futhermore,
even if such people would fco content to
remain, yet die number of such as would
voluntarily come over to beconie hired ser
vants here, will be much smaller than is
generally supposed. That class of Ger
man agricu turul laborers at. all suited for
this purpose, are so po r and ignorant that
they seldom are capable or desirous of
changing their condition by emigration,
and it is o these that planters’ Agents must
address themselves. Now imagine how
long it wi Ibe before, by such s‘ovv and
expensive means, an impression can be
made upon 8 mthern labor. By far the
largest proportion of German agricultural
immigrants are the small farmers, - men of
more or le s means, who generally go to
the Western States, where thosojl and cli
mate are congenial and resembles most
what they enjoyed in the land they have
left. A lew of those might be invited to
the South, but only as renters buyers
of lan 1.
But after a’l, the question remains, will
they become permanent sctrlefs? We
have many Germans throughout the South;
but where, and wha' are they ? They are
to be found in the cities and towns as tra
ders, merchants, or mechanics; but lew
or none on plantations. . The eau-ca which
heretofore kept the European-husbandman
from migrating to the South, remain un
changed ; it was not because he was an
abolitionist, for few of that cla-s care a fig
for po itic.nl abstraction or tb ories ; his
main objection to a file in the South is to
be found in clima e. soil, and a Shrinking
from being brought on a level with the
Negro, or to have him for a competitor in
Inter. Emancipation has not removed this
obstacle; and it is not probable ihift it will
“ v Al:lfty and mysterious aro the,motive
agents that roll on the waVes .of National
migration, such as for years lias set. from
the shores of Eurofe to those of America ;
its sweep is ever onward and resistless;,
no b red agents or newspaper articles can
dive t it from itft constant cours *, unaided
by revolutions dlfie ent from any that have
occurred or are likely to occur in this
count! y.
The foregoing remarks were prompted
by a desire to lenelit my Southern fellow
citizens, by perhaps putting them on their
guard against the schemes of visionaries
and swindlers. A few months ago, I ob
served that a notorious german immigra
tion speculator was figuring at Milledge
ville, and no doubt succeeded in eonvinc
ing his auditors that he could bring over
several German principalities before the
end of the year. I know this man and his
antecedents while in the immigrant busi
ness ; and he is only one of a class of
Vampires who live on the Llood of their
confiding and sanguine countrymeni:n,ticed
into plans and schemes unsuited tb' their
tastes and hat its of life. I would warn
Southern planters against any sehgane
oth< r than renting their lands to European
settles un ler proper restriction and some
degree of supervision. I tell tlieth* the
German farm laborer, although good
enough when in his proper plaou, wjjj, be
wholly unprofitable and unreliable (dr per
manent objects. ••
I have confined my remarks mainly to
the Germans, they being the principal oR-,
jects of these vi ionary projects; b.tit up}
necessarily compelled toom.t many, pther
i-bjections to any direct importation of la
borers.
If such projects promi-ed a chance of
success, I should be one of the to
welcome these people ws a valuable acces
sion to our population, but my observation
and experience on both sides of the At
lantic teach me a different lesson, and I
only hope that ihose who now are making
the experiment, may not rue it be-fbYe the
first crop is gathered The Southern
pi inter must ultimately do what is do..e in
Europe, almost everywh re, viz: rent bis
lmd to one, who will sub-re.,t to another,
and so on. This course wiil bring back
the golden era to the now humbled, bat
once proud, possessor of the toem ng Jands
of our sunny and beloved South; when
o hers will onoe more toil and sweat for
him according to the never-changing law
of our existence, that the poor must toil for
the rich. I state the law as it stands, with
out presuming to cavil at its justice. J
Fearing further to encro:eh upon your
space and the patience of your readers, I
will herewith brims rny remarks to a dose.

Washington, 26. —The Senate discuss
ed the joint resolution that no Senator or
Representative from any seceded State
shall be admitted, until Congress decides
that the State is en itlecl to representation.
Mr. Mct'lung offered a resolution that it
be referred to the Committee on Recon
struction, with instructions to inquire and
ascertain, whether con umucy be clearly
manifested in the seceded Slates; and, il
so, to inquire into the expediency of levy
ing a contribution on the disloyal inhabi
tairts of such States, to defray the extraor
dinary’expenses which would otherwi e be
thrown on the National Government, for
keeping up a standing army and p otect
ing loyal citizens in their natural and per

The resolution was-referred without in
instructions.
The House discus ed a joint resolution
proposing to amend the Constitution so as
to give Congress power to make laws to

liest restoration of peace on the basis of loy
alty. No Congressional polioy having been
adopted when be entered into office, be was
forced to adopt some policy of his own; but
one central idea controlled him in the whole
matter, and that was a proper system of paci
fication, and should be one to stimula’e,
everywhere, the loyalty of the people of the
South, and make it the spring of loyal con
duct arid proper legislat on, rather than im
pose upon them losses and conditions by di
