•J lie League. During the j>rt>rf -ss of tiif war it be (‘:mn; a miiitary iierrs.-ity, am! Abraham Lincoln issued his emancipation proc lamation, ami tin colored citizens be came free. But alas, by the fan? «»4 iii«- syren a lari'* proportion of llit; col ored citizens and Tennessee have lost litcir liberie, and they are again en slaved. Tim colored man in all 'be other States is Iree. lie is fete to Oft for /lintfief, free to think for hi/itself, free to rote fur whom he phases, and in each and every particular, be is a free m ai. But it is not so in Tennessee. \\ e have a class of men who came among the colored citizens with what they call a League. These men, by i tM eplion, persuaded the colored man that the League ivas good lor him to join, and by fair pionnsej they succeed ed in gening large numbers to sign a wav their liberties anti to place them selves in worse bondage than that which they had just been released from by the emancipation proclamation. When the colored man joins the League, he lieu by a solemn oath swears away his liberty. He can then no longer act for himself—he can no lunger vote as lie pleases, and support such measures as his judgment shall convince him is best for his own in terests, and why? lie has sworn an oath to do as these League manngert te 1 him to do. Ik has sworn an oath to vote for just who, and what, the League teil him lie must vote for. He has sworn an oath that lie is no longer a Iree man, hut that the League gov erns and controls him, and hold him as their slave. He has sworn an oath, • l.v** he 13 nut t */{ Loing «• fVcc man, and, therefore, he swears to let the League do his thinking —his acting and his voting, because he must vote as they say. He swears that lie will n t be a free man, hut a slave to the League. Little did the colored man know that a trap had been set for him. when he joined the League. Little did lie dream that, by so doing, he was selling his liberties, and his manhood, to future ill for himself, as truly as ever mortal sold his soul to perdition. These leagues are form id by designing men to control the weak minded and ignorant, and to make them their ser vants and toois, and as soon as the m* u who control them ha u e accom plished their own selfish purposes, they laugh at the victims of their treachery, and the League has answered the pur pose lor which it was brought into existence, and becomes a thine of the past. —Know ille Commercial. How if ihiilcil. Vi e mentioned some days ago that the fine saddle horse of Dr. Wilson had ! been stolen, and that the thief had made good his escape. When last seen, the ( horse and rider were rapidly passing up the Marietta road. Three gentle-! men, George Kries, Esq., at their head, went in immediate pursuit, and were so successful in following the route taken by the thief, that they could hear of him hut a short distance ahead < I their, all the while. From one of the party we learn that the pursuers and pursued slept within a half-mile of each other the first night out. The pursuit was continued to within a few j miles ol Canton, in Cherokee county, when the thief, whose name is now . known, sought refuge in the woods, ililts rendering 1 1 is capture next to im- j possible, it. was ascertained l>y r the party from Atlanta, that there is a reg- j itlady organized band of horse thieves, whose I,no of romimuncation extends ;is far as Mobile. In llie vicinity of Canton they are known to have a ren dezvous, and so complete are their arrnngeineuts for transferring stolen horses from one point to another, and in so rapid a manner is the illicit traffic carried on, that it is quite impossible to recover stolen property ol that charac ter. A number of the men composed if the gang are actually known, but the law lias thus far been unable to reach .them. A l uge number of horses, stol en in East Tennessee, are known to have been carried to that point. In one instance, wc are informed that a pursuing party from East Tennessee succeeded in overtaking' and capturing a immbcr of valuabb animals, and dis persing the gang. Since it is known that stu b an organization is in actual existence, and that members of it are iioulnless dailv seen to stand upon our street corners, too much precaution cannot he used by parties owning line s oek. Gentlemen ofthat character are quite fastidious and want line stock only. —[Atlanta Intelligencer. Tli v Aew Soufli Carolina. Ol il man Forney’s Philadelphia Press is getting very sweet on South 'Caro lina. Out friends of the Palmetto Territory ought to feel encouraged. The following is from the Press. The resolutions ad oped at the late meeting of the freed men at Beaufort are specially significant, on account ol indications they give of the character of the New South Carolina the Repub licans of tbat State are endeavoring to construct. They propose that its cor ner-Monc “shall he freedom, and not slavery and “that of all the thirty •> seven Slates, which are now about to constitute one solid phalanx in the I mon, nyt one of them shall have a constitution more republican in form or superior in any way to the one” they are about to make for the “ancient ant! venerable Commonwealth of South Carolina.’” They promise to have Presidential t lectors chosen bv the people instead ol the Legislature, as hereto) »|- ; ; io establish free schools ; to ■ 'lev-- 'V poor and destitute, and to >h. * ?,.• !j ;:'• ■;in j i st- | and honor of the while country.” O.ie such new State would he vvoitlhra thousand <1 such npliihcalion, seces sion, aristocratic, feudal, and treason hatclnng ('nminniiwealths as the old South Carolina, vv l.icli aimed constantly at the debasement of the hulk of her population, and at the destruction of the Ftiion. c; LOIIGI 4. 'fhe New ork Journal oj Commerce is urging capitalists to turn their atten tion to the South as offering a tempt , ing field for safe and profitable invest ment. It says ol Georgia : The oppor'unities for this are abundant; and if i lie investor seeks to speculate, there are sure openings lor increasing Ids capital two, five, and ten-fold, There is no point where this is more manifest than in the lieigbor hood of Augusta, one of the most beautiful cities ol the South. Those splendid residences at the Sand Hills, known to all travelers in old times as the abodes of health, wealth, and lux** ' urv, are in many instances oflered for sale at prices fabulously low, and plantations near that city ate to he purchased at rates which must be j doubled within a year if the crop he a good one. \\ ho can doubt that this j portion of Georgia will rapidly develop ( wealth ? Georgia itself is one of the most remarkable Stales, in natural wealth, on the earth’s surface. Within its boundaries may be grown nearly | every article of food and luxury known to tlie tropic and temperate zones, j Bananas and oranges, tea and coffee, • rtiimii ....it . oj.ptoo. melons, neach ! es, potatoes, whatever the United States and Cuba can produce, Georgia can also produce within her limits. Her mineral treasures are also vast and varied ; gold, and iron and other metals, abound in her mines. Slate, marble, and other stones, are in her quarries. Thk Dkist anij Finances of Georgia. —ln closing a resume of the the debt and finances of Georgia, the April number of Hunt's Merchants' Maga zine says : The probable resources of the State Treasury for the current year (1860 7) are estimated at 5882.252.05, anil the expenditures at 8879,906,06. The in come from such sources is thus estima ted—general tax 845.000 ; tax on banks and railroads, each, 85,000, and on foreign insurance agencies, .§10,000; tax on liquor sales, 800.000 ; dividends from Atlantic «$* Gulf Railroad §20,000; and net earnings of Western & Atlantic Railroad, 8259.000. The disburse ments include §IOO,OOO for tlie Assem bly, $70,000 for the civil establishment, and $307,000 for interest on the public ! debt. There is also included in the estimate of disbursements SBO,OOO fur 1 payment of temporary loan ami SIOO, I 805,06 for undrawn balances of old appropriations, together, $192,805, not I belonging to the current year ; leaving the actual necessary expenses of the State at $686,900. From the exhibits above given it is quite apparent that Georgia is rapidly recovering from the prostration caused by the late hostilities. A State that is’ able to raise such a revenue as is here estimated from a population ofless than a million souls, two-fifths the number only just emerged from the condition of slavery, is a sure test of financial vital ity. No further loans are wanted ; all old accounts are. liquidated, and once again the two sides of the public ledger are balanced. A Question of Altitude. — Two gentlemen of this city recently fore gathered, and. in course of conversa tion, the following colloquy ensued : Mr. J’. (seriously), “i have known j Gov.

Davis will not take place, as expected, in Richmond next Monday, but that a further post ponement wiil be made. The advisa bility of admitting Davis to bail is now being considered. Several prominent persons having been here lately to inquire regarding the case of Jeff.

A Fortress Monroe dispatch, dated tlie 30th of April, says : Mrs. Jeff Davis, accompanied by Dr. Pemberton, hi other of the rebel General Pemberton, returned yesterday Irom a visit to Washington, where they were engaged in interviews with prominent Southern men upon the question of Mr. Davis’ release.

ClitircL .Son Hi. ree ently attended a District Conference of the Methodist Episcopal : Church South, at Rome, for the Rome District, which embraced the 3d, 4th | and sth days of the present month, and was much gratified at the result of the ! meeting. We recognize in this move* | meat anew era in Methodism in the South, It brings together elements in said church never before assembled, j and calls forth talents into the field heretofore unknown. It is composed all the travelling and local preachers within the district, and one lay dele gate Irotn eacli church and two lay del egates from each Quarterly Conference, and is presided over by a Bishop, and in the absence of the Bishop by the i Presiding Elder. The Romo District is composed of 13 stations, circuits and missions, and 13 traveling and 75 lo cal preachers, besides laymen, consti tuting an assembly of ai least one hun dred and fifty men when fully attended. 'Phe object of the conference is to de vise the best means and measures for the spread of the gospel, for the diffu sion of scriptural knowledge, for the strengthening of the bulwarks of Zion, and building up of the waste places of Zion, by more effectually calling into the vineyard of the Lord that large class of officials in the church known as the “local ministry,” more fully defining their duties and obligations, and, at the same time, enlisting the laity more fully in their interests and work in the great cause ol human redemption.— The state of the church, the support of the ministry, the education of children both white and black, ihe course of study t.o be pursued by local preachers, Sabbath Schools, Missions, anil Church Literature, were all subjects taken un der advisement by the Conference, can vassed freely and fully, and such recom mendations and rules adopted as was considered important to the growth and welfare of the church and efficien cy ofthe ministry and membership coup led with the enlargement of Zion’s bor ders. Bishop McTyere presided, and John W. Heidt was appointed .Secretary, and Samuel 11. Smith Assistant Secretary.

Ivaiglcr, local preacher, and A. C. Trimble, layman, | alternate delegates, to represent the I Rome District in the next Annual Con ! ference, under the new rule providing for hay Delegation. Carlersville was selected as the place for holding the District Conference next year. At the close of the Conference the following vote of thanks was unani mously adopted : Resolved , 'That the thanks of this body are tendered to the citizens ol Rome for their hospitality : to the Pas tors ol the Presbyterian and Baptist churches for the use of their pnipits, to the Western & Atlantic, and Rome Railroads for the reduction ol the fare to tiie members of the Convention. The citizens of Rome without dis tinction of religious purstiasion, threw open their doors and received the dele gates into their houses and families, l treated them with ail that hospitality for which they are so justly distinguish ed, and for which favor, the blessings and benedictions of the same are de ' voutly bestowed upon them.

Resolved, That we request all teach ers to open each day’s school exercises with prayer, and bv reading a portion of the Scriptures, but we do not ap prove of teaching any sectarian or denominational dogmas, believing that all such matters should he excluded as detrimental to the interests and pros perity of Free Schools.

Dates from Matamoras to the 28th ultimo say news reached Montery on the 24th to the ioltowing effect: Forferio Diaz occupies a part of the city of Mexico. llis headquarters are at the Convent of Santa Domingo. Ol two squares of the main plaza of the city, one"is still defended by the Im perialists. Gen. Hubert, at the head of a body of Imperialists, had made another attempt to cut his way out of Queretaro. The Imperialists at Queretaro were literally in a starving condition. Gen. Guadanama, who pursued and routed the Imperial forces under Mar quez, has returned to Queretaro. The Liberals were anxious to end the struggle at Queretaro, aad were working energetically to do so. The Times, ol this city, publishes a report received from a private source, which says that another battle has been fought at Queretaro, resulting in the defeat of the demoralized linperal ists’and tiie death ol Miratnon. After the fight Queretaro was occupied by tiie Liberals. Maximilian cannot be found any where. It is supposed that he secretly lied. This confirms the report that Diaz has defeated Miratnon, and the Liberals are complete masters ol the situation. A Gentleman from Calhoun county states that on the 25th ultimo the most awful hail storm on record fell in that region. Colton and corn were cut to pieces, and wheat literally destroyed.

The animal had not been worked for some time, and he felt his oats, and was not to he trifled with. Afier three or four ineffectual attempts were made to get the mule between the shafts, the colored gentle** mutt with a hoop pole had hi.-passion aroused, and commenced larruping the animal in good earnest. The mule ac cepted the issue made, upset the color ed gentleman who was tickling him with the hoop, and taking French leave, his mnleship dashed clown the street in full glee over what he had ac complished . The old darky who got knocked down, with the aid of Ins comrade, slowly got to his feet again. He gave a glance at the retreating mule, and slowly shaking his bead, he remarked: “Pete, dal ar mule like some niggers. You let ’em (tab liberty for a little time, an’ da won’t do nuffm -but try to vote. 1 bet dat mule is gwine down to de place whar dey register now,” \Ye didn’t wait to hear any thing more, but concluded that that old darky's head was level.
