first page, which will be found very interesting.
Hope for ilic South.
One of the essential elements of true patriotism
is certainly lacking in that men who can “see no
hope for the South.” It is unbecoming a people
who admit that by nature they are iudapeudeot of I
the rest of the world, to sit down in supineuess !
and say that all is 10.-*, while the libertv of any i
degree of action is possessed by them. It is sm- !
prising that, iaview of the present condition of!
our country, and the many plausib'o reasons for j
hope in the future, .some have allowed their des-!
pendency and lack of faith in themselves and their j
countrymen to lead theni into strange lands—and >
doubtless many will spend their lives in poorer I
countries, under worse governments, longing for i
a return to the “ sweet sunny South.”
What man amongst us would hive admitted two !
years ago, that the South could pass through the |
trying onleaD whiib she h, s exper’enced, and stand j
w here she does to day ? Many hearts sickened j
nt the idea of destructive armies marching through ;
and devastating the land, %id prophesied perpet-i
ual streams of social disruption, arising from the 1
suddenly altered politico! relations of an ignorant
and untutored race iu our midst. The worst has
come, and may we not correctly say gone ? The '■
dreaded armies have marched through ci'y, town j
wfld village, 'raving many in ashes, hut nre these 1
still desert places ? The rudely constructed teno- t
mentr, the ftesh furrows in the fields, the oarpea--
tcr’s hammer, and a host of other signs of life and
vigor, give a negative answer. Although the war
has made thousands el’ widows both Xorth and
South, and so many hearthstones desolate, yet up
on sober reflection, and a practical view of our
present situation, it must be seen that it has not
•est us without some beneficial results, wliicb, it';
used to proper advantage, will work out for us a
higher degree of greatness as a people than we
have ever attained. Let us not base our calcula
tions upon things that bare been, or theories that
were held under different circumstances, but look
only to the boundless future which lies before us,
with a path to prosperity plain enough to stimulate I
the nerve of the weakest patriot, and revive the
hope of the most despairing.
it may prove impracticable to cultivate our Urge
plantations under the present system ; but what
will be tho result? In course of time, the large!
plantations owned and cultivated by one man, |
which, on account of their great breadth, are eel- :
dotn thoroughly cultivated, will be cut up into |
small farms, each of wbieh wfl! be 3oM or rented
to separate individual?, who must derelope the ut- I
most resources of every acre, in order to insure a
profit on their labor. This will not only fully de
▼elope the agricultural resources of the couutry,
but will increase the populataion which will en
hance the value of ths land, ly augmenting the f
demaud fur it. It will increase the number of tax.
payers, and in many other ways tend to the en~
ticlimeut of the sections thus affected.

From what we could learn, Atlanta owes her

whole South—as to the indomitable energy and
| perseverance of her own citizen?, whose opera

embarrassments. A-an instance of ibis; The lot
which was lormerly occupied by Concert Hall, at

StELKUATi:* JO OOSORESS.
There are, as we have bt'fure staterl, s“f>,ftno
colored persons In this State. Most, of these nave
been shves. They are not only free; they are
cit : z. ns; but cuizans deprived of right? granted
to other citizen?; They pay taxes to s qpo t the
Government and yet they are allowed no voice in
choosing the officers who govern them. This is
tyranny ; and the question arises, bon - shall their
condhiou be improved? It is the boast ol our
(statesmen that this af.ee Government; that the
. people rule ; that the Government derives its just
' powers from the consent of 'he governed. Xev
! . rtbeless, it is proposed to deprive nearly one
1 half of the cilizeus of this State of all partieipa.
j tiou in the affairs of a Government that obliges
| them to pay taxes for its support. One half of the
citizens claim the right of being represented, but.
deny that right to the other half. While colored
men must fed that it is wrong to oblige them to
pac taxes to support a Government, that deuics to
them representation, the practical question atises,
what si,all they do? Bhall they remain unrepre
sented, or si.nil they act themselves and send a
delegate to Congress?
No sane man will advocate a resort to arms.—
Everv tme friend of our colored citizens will ad
vise them to appeal to the understanding and bet-
ter judgment, cf those in authority.
The President of the United States has lately
shown that he is not as friendly to colored men,
as we had mason, a few months ago, to suppose he
j was. If he is honest he has reasons satisfactory
[ to himself for this charge and he will change in
favor of the freedmen, if he is convinced that he
is now unjust to them. It is best to try the exper
iment; to send colored men from every Southern
State so as to inform the President fully in regard
to the condition of the colored people. Matty of
the Southern States are now represented in Wash
ington. Shall Georgia be represented? Friends
!of equal rights it is for you to say. The Georgia
j Kqual Right* Association proposes to send a dele
! gate to Congress, as soon as sufficient money is
raised to do this. Subordinate Associations are
being formed in the State. We urge our friends
! to labor with zeal, for we assure you that the en
! emirs of equal rights arc not idle, and unless you
work now, when you have the opportunity, you
! may in a few months learn that further effort, on
j your p rt, will be useless Friends in every coun

important work. It is for you to say wbetheryou

thus {laces himself squerely Upon tho re
ef rd:
“I said we should support the President.
Id him to-day, we have a tower of strength
and a rofugo of Lope. Without reference
to his antecedents he stands to-day on tho
proud eminence of patiiotic heroism, and
battles for the Constitution and Union. In
this wtr he defends our rights. He has as
sumed a position of bold and uncompromis
ing opposition to the treasonable designs of
Sumner and Stevens, cl iJomut genu*, from
which he cannot retire without bearing on
his tallen crest the ignominious brand of
cowardice, That character, I believe be
will not acocp*. He is committed, pledged
to the restoration of the South to her Con
stitutional status, to the preservation of the
Union against the Northern as well as South
ern enemies. Os the latter, [ believe there
are now none. Hut if the former oannot
be prevented by by peaceablo means, from
destroying the Constitution and the Union,
I believe Andrew Johnson stands pledged
to use all the means necessary to defeat them.
How is rebellion at tho North more sacred
from military repression than rebellion at
the South ? Should the Radicals continue
this war on tho Constitution and press it to
n bloody issue, the President wi' be sus
tained. Already the true pallets of the
North rise in mass to hail his late veto mes
sage. With public meotiDgs aud speeches,
with precessions and thunders cf artillery,
they rejoice over his patriotic position. Fel

his hundred heads at Washington, is in Lis

Harpoi-’s Weekly.
The National Intelligencer thus rebukes
this notorious and mischievous publication,
which, we regret to say is exposed for sale
at many joints in the Bog'h;
In a recent number cf Harper’s Weekly,
the humiliating confession is flipanily made,
that in previous editorial articles respecting
a matter no less important than the recent
veto message of the President, they had
abused him on the supposition that the mes
tage virtually atx.lit.hed the Frcedpten’s l>u
reau forthwith; and, further, that the sense
of the document was, that no national pir
t c'pation whatever in the care or protection
of freedmen was to be here ifter countenanced
We venture the opinion that it is morally
wrong to circulate so extensively a paper of
such a grade of editorial ability. If the
success of the Weekly is really so splendid,
cannot the publishers afford to omploy com
jiet'ent editors ?
What is said in the foregoing of the Week
ly may with truth be baid of Harper’s
Monthly. A more detractive publicalion of
Southern institutions, of Southern meu and
Southern women, is not published in the
wide world \Y hen will it cease, for lack of
patronage or sale, to be circulated in the
South ? We answer not until sdf-retjxct on
the part of our people be so exereised, as to
permit it to lay on the shelves of b«okvend
erp, unnoticed, unpurchased.
Will Psti* Oct. —The Memphis Ava
lanche likens the Southern people to a hen
pecked husband, who was invariably thrust
under his wife’s bed when visited by good
looking men. On one occasion she was
serving up refreshments for hergues'?, and
her husband could not resist the temptation
to peep out. She perceived it, and by sly
nods and shakes of the head, was warning
him to be tjuiet. “You may wink and blink
as much as you please,” said he, “but so
long as I have the spirit of a man within
me, I will peep.” The "Southern people
have been driven to the wall. Tbo soldier
has laid down hi3 arms in goed faitb. While
the radicals are proposing their infamous
schemes of oppression, we cannot resist tbo
temptation to peep out.”

T!i<c Cordova Colony of Rebels.
A correspondent of the New York Her

ate gray, who had passed some time in the
MexieaDized rebel colony. The following
from the conversation that took place, tears
away the veil of enchantment drawn over
the enterprise by “Old Pap” Price, Gov.
Harris and others:
“So yon went up there?”
“Ob, yes. All over.”
“You saw the American colony?”
“I did.”
“What do you think of it?”
“Nothing. It is a humbug, Those fel
lows have not got any money ; and, for the
life of me, I canaot see how they are to
live. ,
“Bid yoa see Isham G Harris !
“I did.”
“Has he got anything planted ?”
“No. I did not see anything. I believe
be bus got one man employed in something
like gardening. Those fellows are not like
emigrants of el lon time. They have no
agricultural implements ; they do not come
here with their families, and they expect to
get men to work for them for nothing, while
they sit by and smoke their Havanna ci
i g 3rs . They are not like the Germans who
j come hero. They are not iudusirious, and
will not sork themselves. They want to
' have large plantations and raise cx'ensive
crop?, without having any money to start on.

j enough not to invest it in this emigration

!tq them. They are allowed" to import all,
their agricultural implements free of duty, ]
