The ludedcnpent Farmer.
Let sailors sing of the windy d r ep,
Let soldiers praise their armor,
But ia my heart this toast I’ll keep—
Tha Independent Fanner.
When fitst the rose in robe of green
Unfolds its crimson lining,
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle twining ;
W ben banks of bloom their sweetness yield,
To bees that gather honey.
He drites his team across the field,
W here skies are soft and sunny.
The blackbird cluks behind the plow,
The quail pipes loud and clearly.
Yon orchard hides behind its bough
The home he loves so dearly ;
The gray and old barn doors unfold
Hi- ample store in measure.
More rich than heaps of hoarded gold,
A precious, blessed treasure;
While yonder in the porch there stands
His wife, the lovely charmer.
The sweetest rose on all his lands—
The Independent Farmer.
To him the Spring comes dancinglv,
To him the Summer blushes,
The Autumn smiles with yellow ray,
His sleep old Winter hushes;
He cares not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him;
lii.s little flock are linked in love,
And household angels round him ;
He trusts to God and loves his wife,
Nor griefs, nor ills may harm her,
He’s nature’s nobleman in life—
The Independent Farmer.
Northern Opinions.ot the Fu
ture oi'tlie Freedman.
We have refrained giving expression
to any opinion of our own in regard to
the future of the negro freedmen, or
race, in the South. To advance its
condition-; to make it, through the
influences of education*hnd Christian
teachings, o«e«( progress in civilization
and in industrial pursuits ; to improve
it in every moral aspect, and to induce
it to esteem the Southern white man as
its friend, and not its enemy; lias been,
and is, our sincere desire, as it is of
every sensible, patriotic man in the
South. In dark forebodings regarding
the negroe’s future, we have not in
dulged. We have left that to Northern
men —men neither “native,'” nor “to
the manner northern stump and
congressional speakers ; northern edit
ors, who, like northern congressmen,
know, or assume to know, more ot the
'negro character than those who have
been born and raised with them, and
who arrogantly propose to influence
and direct them, while, at the same
time, they prognosticate evil in regard
to their future. The New York Times,
for instance, a leading Republican paper,
affirms of the race that'they are “a very
prolific people, or, at least, have been
so while they were kept in slavery ;
but ill no Southern State, anil probably
in no district, will they beabte to retain
political power ’through a numerical
majority, after the tide of emigration is
turned southward, as it surely will be
before many years*. Asa peaceful ar.d
laborious part of the population of the
South, guaranteed their rights by law,
they may live and flourish to the end
of time-; btrt a's the e’fie'm’ie-s of the
dominant and predominating while
'race, there is nothing in the future for
them but struggling and woe, and
ultimate destruction.”
The white man, then, according to
the Times, and this is asserted bv other
papers of the “same ilk” and politics,
‘is destined to drive the negro race from
the South, aud to “ultimate destruc
tion.” But who are the white men that
will do this? Is it pretended even that
they are to be Southern white men, the
■former owners of the freedmetl, or the
descejidauts of their former masters ?
Not a hit of it. The white men who
are to do this work are the Northern
or European emigrants to the South,
not those who have been reared in the
South and who desire that there shall
be no strife in it between the two races.
How does the negro race in our midst
like the programme which is to drive
them to “ultimate destruction,” and to
substitute in their place whiteemigrants
front the North and Europe? Do not
the intelligent among them see whither
they will drift, if, instead of uniting
their destinies with the Southern white
man and cultivating friendly relations
with him, they lend themselves to the
Republican Party, North, and to those
influences which will, as the Time*
Says, work their “ultimate destruction?”
If they do uot, they must be blind, and
;he scales should be removed from be*
fore their eyes as soon as possible.
We tell the colored people now, and we
warn them in time oi the fact, that the
Southern white man is their most con
siderate, most disinterested, and truest
friend. Whether, as a race, the freed*
men will bear this in mind, and govern
themselves accordingly, so as to save
themselves Iroin fulfilling the prophecy
oi “ultimate destruction” which eman
ates from more than one Northern
Republican source and orator, time will
id l—that future which has been invok
ed to tel! the story of their '‘destruc
tion.” From so deplorable a fate, all
good Southern men will strive to save
the negio rate. It will not be the fault
nf the Southern white man, if the future
of the Ireedmen shall be, as it is pre
dicted it will be, by Northern men in
their journals and in their political
speeches. The Treedfiien should
der well Which are their true friends—
those who dwell beyond the Potomac,
rr those who dwell Within the limits
of the “late” Southern States?—[.??-

Yesterday mojning a couple appear
ed in the Probate Court and demanded
a marriage license. • When the moment
arrived for paying the lee the man was
for backing out, but the woman said
she shouldn’t do that, “not by any
means,” and site paid for ttic license.
The couple soon afterwards appeared
at Justice Turner’s office, and the wo
man made known her “intentions.”
The unusual appearance of the “happy
couple” attracted unusual attention,
and a large crowd was soon gathered
to see the “solemn ceremonies.”—
When the couple were asked to stand
up and face the music, the “groom”
tried to back out, and the “bride” see
ing there was no other way for it, re
marked that he’d “go/ to stand it,” and
there “was no use talking about it.”
Sh® caught hold of the “doubting
Thomas.” and squared him up before
the justice, with the order for him to
“sail in.” Just then the query arose
as to where the fee for the tying of the
hymenial knot was to come from. —
The ntau said he couldn’t stand the
expense. The woman asserted that
she had paid for the license, and the
man should pay for the marrying. He
protested that he. wouldn’t, and that
he’d go to Cincinnati to work. The
woman caught him as he was slipping
awav from the matrimonial noose,
threw him down on the floor, and,
taking some money from his pockets,
she deliberately paid the Justice Isis
fee, and then, holding on to Iter “fel
ler,” the knot was tied in due form.
AH tire while the bride was munching
peanuts, and when the ceremony con
cluded the floor was littered with the
shells. Tfte bride saluted her husband
with, “Tom, you’re a liar!” Congrat
ulations to the happy couple were
fairly showered down, and were char
acterized more for their robusticity
than for their delicacy; and the bride
and groom left “the presence” in a
condition of jolity which foretold a
boisterous honey-moon. When last
seen the amiable spouse shoved her
lord into the gutter at the corner of
Jefferson and Second streets. —[/Juw-

Rcgistra&tovt ol'Col»r«d Voters

The New Orleans correspondent of
the Louisville Courier gets off the lot
owing ;
The registering of voters under the
Militrry Bill is progressing rapidiy>lh«
negroes registering in great numbers,
and far exceeding the whites. The
scene of registering is rich and funny.
Two ranks are formed outside of tfic
Register’s office, principally of darkies
of every grade, interspersed here and
there by a few White men. ’File fol
lowing is the process of making voters
or conferring the franchise on the col
ored citizens ol African decent :
Register—What is your name?
Colored Citizen—Well, boss, dey
did’nt gib me my odder name, but old
massa’s narfie was Grandison,and I
’spose I must hab bis name now.
Register—Did you ever hold an of
fice under the United Stales or under
the State of Louisiana?
Colored Citizen—Yah, yah ; well
yes, boss ; 1 sweeps out an assurance
office and lawyer’s office.
Register—Did you ever give aid or
comfort to the Confederate States ?
Colored Citizen—l didn’t gib nuffin.
case I had nuflin to gib.
Register—Did you ever serve in the
rebel or Federal army?
Colored Citizen—Well, boss, I did’nt
serve neider; but the Yankees want to
take me to make brefworks for ’em, so
I went to cook for the rebs.
’Register —Then you gave them aid
and comfort, did’nt you ?
Colored Citizen—Why, no boss; dev
gib me all de aid and comfort, for if it
was not for dem I’d been dead nigger
long ago.
Register—Swear him in.
A soldier of the 10th Georgia, reg
iment was courUmartialed for what he
called “playing quartermaster,” that
is, for taking things without paying
sos them. His punishment, among
other things, consisted in marking
time for an hour eacli day on the head
of a barrel. While he was thus en
gaged one day. a comrade passed by
and accosted him with, “Joe, what are
you marking time there for?” Jee
answered as well as the difficulty of
keeping his balance would allow,
“don’t know, ’zackly, believe its some
foolishness about some chickens.”
Comrade. “Well they have got no
right to make you do that kind of a
thing. There’s no law for it.”
Joe. “Don’t care whether there’s
any law for it or not, Use a doin’ it!”
Poor Joe! he has many sympath
izers. Law or no law, we’se a doiu’
it. —\_The Land we Love.
Mark Twaln’s Last; —Mark Twain
says that to “see a lovely girl of seven
teen, with her saddle on her head, and
her muzzle on behind, and her veil just
covering the end of her nose, come
tripping along in her hoopless, red
buttoned dress, like a churn on fire, is
enough to set a man wild.’’

‘•What Doth Gender ms to r*
Baptizee?” —This question received
anew solution in Hamburg. S. on
Sunday last. In a'l the colored Baptist
Churches in and around Augusta a
great revival has been going on lor
some weeks, and many had been baps
tized or immersed, This contagion
has not confined itself to the Georgia
side of the Savannah River, but spread
into South Carolina, with like glorirvua
results, until the raw material or thal
which was accessible, was well nigh
played out. On Sunday, however, a
solitary subject was found, and he,
headed and surrounded by the minister
and a sarge crowd, took up the line ot
march for the Savannah. On arriving
beside the swift running siream, and
the subject was almost in the attitude
of the eunuch with which Philip rodo
iu the chariot, “Here Is the water—
what doth hinder me to he baptized,’*
when the poor eanidate’a eyes were
suddenly opened by the minister pro
pounding to him the solemn question*
“Are you married?” “No, sir.”—
“Then you can never be baptized so
long as you are living in illicit inter
course with a woman, though you may
consider her your wife.” This fell
like a bombshell into-an enemy’s camp
and set him to thinking, but not wish
ing to spoil the show, and jeopard his
chances for kingdom come, he soon
made up his mind and intimated his
willingness to comply with the letter of
th« law, and the woman (dressed in «
plain calico, and standing unsuspecl.
ingly in the crowd to see him dipped;
was trotted out before the assembled
throng, the knot tied oil the bank, and
her husband accordingly immersed
with all the rights and ceremonie*.—

Registration.
We are pleased lo learn from a spec
ial dispatch from Washington to the
Cincinnalti Commercial, that a delega
tion from New Orleans had an inter
view with Attorney General on th»
3d inst., and were informed that the
Administration intended to give the
disfranchising clause of the Recon
struction Bill a liberal construction,s«
as to allow a lull regulation. The
Attorney General declared that the
registers under Gen. Sheridatf had
done wrong in refusing to register city,
county and township officers, of State,
lie is also of the opinion that Congrcs*
did net intend to exclude a man front
voting who had happened to take art
oath to support the Constitution, :uml
then participated in the rebellion, un
less he had held an office which re
quired an oath of fidelity to th* .Na

A Thousand Chickens Wanted*.—-
“We are in good earnest,”' says the
Central Georgian, of SandersviMe:
“We want one thousand (or thereabout)
chickens to feed the numerous JMttlw
dists and others , who ma\ be in 'atten
dance on the district meeting, which is
to meet fiere on the 22nd day of ibis
month. We may be allowed (being
an humble member of that communion)
to say that the fondness of our people,
and particularly the clergy, lor Him
feathered tribe , has become proverbial.
Turkeys are out of the season at time
of the year ; chickens can be bad, anil
we rejoice to know that the brother
hood will consider themselves well fed
if we can only give them plenty ‘of
chicken.’ Send them in—mil, yes, send
them in and all will be well.
