We were not Burprised, but mortified,
to fiud an Editorial in the Southern Recor
der of last Tuesday, calculated, and, we
hope not intended, to encourage that avari-
eious spirit among planters, which, had it
not been checked by a patriotic and intel
ligent public opinion last year, would have
plunged the conutry into irretrievable min,

The cry for bread is beard from every
section. Never was there known, in the
history of the State, snch a*scarcity of
provisions in the public marts. Why is
this ? There is an abundance of all kinds
of provisions in the country. But those
who own them will not sell even at a
price that startles the man who is neither
a speculator nor an extortioner. Thev

We ask the attention of our young men
throughout the State to the cal! made up
on them by Gapt. J. Cooper Nisi et of
Macon. Capt. N. belonged to the old
Stonewall Biigade during all its hard
marches and hard battles. He is a sol
dier, every inch of him, and if he succeeds
in raising his Regiment, we predict that it
will do good service and win bright lau
rels. The Regiment will be assigned to
duty in Southern Georgia, affording those
who join it an opportunity to go iuto ser

will soon be altered to embrace all between
16 and 45, and yriung men would do well

the old Bourbons they have learned nothin
by experience, except to be more and
more distrustful of the p'cople. They
fear the people and arc very desirous that
a Governor should be chosen without the
voice of the people being heard, or their
wishes consulted on the subject. '1 o
prove this w e let them speak for them
selves. A irriter in the Journal \ ilIcsscn-
ger propones that the Legislature nominate
a Gorernor, and the Editor of the Suran-
n ill Republican secondthe motion a»d says,
he would he willing to hare (he Legislature
elect the Governed, if it were possible. So
it will bo seen that these two worthies
would, if it were* possible, take from the
people both the power to nominate and
the power to elect their Governor. Wo
wish the people to reflect upon what these
two men would do if they had the power.
When the Legislature has many very ex
citing questions before them, which will
require all of their wisdom and prudence,
t icse men would be glad to give them, in
aldition, both tho nomination and elec-
ti in of Governor, because they dare not
trust the people. The Savannah Repub
lican, we believe, was, as usual, the first
newspaper in the State to' stir up this ex
citing question. Several weeks ag<t he
issued a proclamation or pronunciameuto
i i which lie was so good as to let us know
what kind of Governor would suit him;
bat he has made many additions, altera-
t ons and amendments since his proclama
tion went forth, and fearing, perhaps, that

Now, -more than ever, is it the duty of
the people to sustain the Press. In times

us. Newspapers cannot live at old prices-

aud old Lincoln relented toward* him and permitted
him to return and live with him. The Indy who gave
Abe a home at thi* time was Mrs. McBryde, who

was still living .in the loth February, 1%T. r.t which
tiinelhe writer oitlm article saw her and conversed
with her. She can substantiate the statements here
made. During A he’s residence nt Mrs McBryde’* he

Springfield, aud became clerk of a saw milk lie soon
afterwards studied law and commenced practicing
before magistrates' courts. With his subsequent his
tory the public an- acquainted, mid I do not propose
to speak of it my object being to supply information
concerning that portion of his life which seemed to be
{east understood.-
There are two prominent fact* in this brief recital
to which I would call attention. One of these is the
African blood aud low associations ' of Abe Lincolt's
mother. Here it was that ho must have obtained his
notion* of negro equality. Having imbibed it in his
mother’s milk, can wo c-xpeet Mm ever to rise supe
rior to it?-‘Can the Ethiopian change hi* skin, or the
leopard his spots?"
The other circumstance to which I have alluded,
and which doubtless had a potent influence in the for
mation of Abe* character, was the cruel treatment
which he received from his step-father. This had the
effect of hardening a nature by no means soft, r.nd
rendering him a fit too! for carrying out the hellish
pm poscsof Abolition party.—Let no man deceive
himself with hope based on any supposed feeling of
Immunity in Lincoln's nature. The bastard sou of Han
uah Hanks—the victim of a step-father’s cruelly lias a
grndge against the human family. His early training
makes it iinpusible for him to feel the “dint* of pity,"
aad he will repay upon society, with interest, tile cru
elty which in early life lie experienced.

.11 r. Cox « Speech.
In these dry times, our readers will find
a‘ beaker fall of the blushful Hippocrene ’
in the speech of Hon. S. S. Cox of .Ohio,
delivered in New York city. It is rich
racy and spicy, and is, perhaps, the best
flagellation that New England ever re
ceived at the hands of any man, North or
South. We will publish the rest of it in
Now, we would like to know, of what
value our cotton can he to Foreigners, if
they do not come and get it. It is Lin
coln’s blockade that will stimulate “for
eign production,” not the acts of our plan
ters. The British Government would be
"lad to sec us cultivate no cotton, says the
^Recorder. And why ? Because, says the
Recorder, “Sho is now learning to do with
out oi;r staple, and laughing at .us.”—
Then why plant it to pleaso her, when
she can do without it, and laugh at us, in
the bargain ? Why try to please her, and
be starved and subjugated while the in
teresting and amiable experiment is being
our next Lsue. It is altogether a gem of inft j e t jf this is the sublime morality ol
the Recorder, wc esteem its virtue even
less than wc aiTmire its logic. If our
neighbor can do no better with h.s paper
in this perilous crisis than to make it a
medium for the propagation of dangerous
its influence with the Government at
Richmond, because Governor Brown had
presumed to differ with the Fresident
upon tbc constitutionality of tho conscrij>- g^cij a ttsnoogR, March 20. The tailing back of

tion law. We cannot believe this assump
tion. If it is true, President Davis is not
the man we have taken him for. There
is no State in the Confederacy that has
answered every call made upon her by
the Dissident more promptly than Geor
gia. Wo have seen a statemeut from
President Davis himself, acknowledging
the promptness with which Georgia had
responded to all his calls upon her for
troops, aj'd declaring if all the other
States had been as prompt there would
have been no need of a conscription, and
it is well known that the Government at
Richmond was indebted to the prudence
and foresight of the Governor of Georgia
tor the means of manufacturing gun pow
der nt the commencement of the war.
L'o say that President Davis is punishing
the whelo iState of Georgia because the
Governor of Georgia differed from him on
i principle, without involving any appo
rtion in actiou, is to assert that the Pres
ident is destitute of common sense or com
mon honesty, and wo don’t believe it.

Editor of the Litcligenn-ri*
.Sometime ago nu nriicli-uppjared in your paper,
copied from one of your exchanges, purportingto give
the pedigree and early history of Abraham Lincoln,
tbe President of the United State*. As tile article in
question abounded in errors, which the writer of this
article, l>V persoiyil acquaintance with the subject
i* unable tooorect; and as the subject itself is one of
general interest, he feels it to be his duty to lay
before the public u true statement of the facts.
The man knowu a* Abruhain Lincoln, who now
sit* in the seht once occupied respectively by Wash
ington, Madison,.(efferson, and Jacksou, was born
in the county of Hardin, nowthe the county of Lardc
in the .State of Kentucky, and about forty miles from
where the writer of this article lives when at hone
The mother was a single woman of very low social
position, by the name of IlanuRh Hunks. She was
generally reputed to have from one eight to one six
teenth oi negro blood in her veins, and always asso
ciated with negroes on terms of equality. According
to the statements of Hannah Hanks, her ill: ritimate
child was the son of Abraham Inlow, (who was still
alive and in Kentucky in September in I fed )
I have myself, heard lier make this statement. More
over, Inlow ulways clnimed tbe child as his own.
Here, then, is the testimony of the two witnesses most
conversant with the facts both established beyond
cavil that Inlow is Lincoln’s father.
1 will here give you a few facta in regard to Inlow,
He was originally from North Carolina, but emigra
ted ta Kentucky when very young. He is quite tall,
being about six feet three inches in height. He goes
barefooted is tha summer, and I have saver teen >im
