Editor Still Absent.
The editor of the Manner is still so"
journing in Northern latitudes, and the
Proprietor must bog indulgence of the
reader. His many other duties will not
permit him to devote much time to edi
torial labor Tho “grey goose quill” of
former days, has remained unused so
long it will not flow freely,and therefore
lie makes hut a feeble effort. Wo hope
to welcome, ere the next issue of the
Manner, our editor to his sanctum.
To Advertisers-
We call upon parties who liavo con
tracted advertising (transcient) accounts
with this office, to come forward and
settle. Although our terms were caeh,
we have, owing to the hard times, shown
you indulgence ; but wo can wait no
longer. This notice is especially appli
cable to those indebted for legal fiotices.
Many of you are perfect strangers to us,
and we relied solely »pon your honor, to
settle when called upon to do so.
Some of our coternporaries object to
supplements, becaim , as they assert,
business men do not like to have tiioir
advertisements thus placed lie fore the
public. No doubt there is truth in the
statement, and wc have concluded to a
bandon them, and increase the dimen
sions of our paper. To-day the Manner
cnrPaius five pages, and it will he in
creased in size as business demands.
We have ordered a large quantity of
new tppe, i tiles, etc., and will, in two
weeks, he able to increase our dimensions
to eight pages.
A Complaint.
We understand some of our patrons
complain that wc do not furnish a suffi
ciency of reading matter. It is regret
ted they are dissatisfied; and we most
respectfully invite them to institute com
parison between the columns of the Man
ner, and three-fourths of at least one
hundred exchanges received at our office,
and the most of them charge four dollars
per annum for weekly issues. Wo furn
liiih never losr than nine, and sometimes
ns much ns fifteen columns per week, for
three dollars per annum. If tee cannot
afford to do better—it is useless for oth
ers to try.
The Exemption Law
A correspondent of the Macon Tele
graph of the 241 b, says that ifthoKxemp
tion or Homestead Act, which passed the
Senate a few days ago (ami which will
he found on the fifth page of the Manner,)
should become a law, “the property ex
empted will be greater than that owned
by a majority of the people of the State,” |
ami that it will "destroy the credit of lhc\
for no sane man will credit anoth- j
or, all of whoso property is exempted
from liability for his debts.”
'Without giving our opinion, pro. or;
<«n. in reference to the pending ITomc-;
stood Act, we must say that if inclined
to make opposition to its adoption, the I
argument advanced for its defeat by the j
aforesaid correspondent, would have
iretghi in its favor with us. Wc wish toGod
some arrangement, some policy, or oven
law, could be made whereby tlfo ruinous
credit system, which lias ever cursed this
country, could be done away with; and if
the Homestead Act will bring about so
desirable a result, although at present;
it may bear tho appearance of injustice i
to the creditor, in the end it will prove a
wise, judicious and humane policy.
I Pcbuc Documents —Wo are again un
der obligations to onr able Representa
tive in the lower house of the General
Assembly, Col. IV. 11. Bennett, for valua
q!c and important documents.
Correct Sentiment*-General Wil
liam 11. Slocum
We publish below an extract from a
speech, deliv- red by Gencrnl Wm. 11.
locum, at the great conservative mass
meeting held in New York by the friends
of Mayor liolTintiii. The people oi Geor
gia know to their sorrow, who Gen.
Slocum is. The passage of his “army
corps” through the State is marked by
monuments that will stand for years as
reminders that a ruthless foe once desol a
ted our happy homes, and that, second
in command of that myried host was
Gen. Wm. 11. Slocum. He was a brave,
talented and energetic officer, and we
are led to believe that ho was actuated
by honest motives in waging war against
the South. Tho Confederate sword
shivered, and the sheath cast away—
her armies disbanded—some of her lead
ers in orison and exile—and her people
slicing for peace—this hravejleader of a
mighty corps, who was foremost in de
manding death and destruction —de-
mands that the victor be magnanimous
to a fallen foe. His remarks drive home
to the heart. And what better answer
can the South make to tho Radical Con
gress, when it asks ns to disfranchise
our leaders and fake to onr embrace the
filthy negro, than that which Gen. Slo-1
on in declares would ho the reply of the i
North to similar demands, if Jefferson
Davis had been the victor : “We fought
in a cause we believed to bo just ; we
have lost we will submit to any just laws
you will make, but when you ask us to
become our own executioners—to aid in
disfranchising, and forever disgracing
onr trusted leaders we have but one an
swer to make. Away with your oi ve
branch 1 You may make us outlaws in
the land of our nativity, you may drive
ns to foreign lands hut you cannot com
pel us to put the knife to the throats of
our companions in suffering.”
Dark, damning deeds disgraced the re.
cord of “Slocum’s Corps”—remembrance
of which can never he erased from the
hearts of Georgians ; but if there is re
demption in this world for acts that
make man infamous, this noble patriotic
and statesmanlike speech of Wm. 11.
.Slocum, is one erasure on the black re
cord against Gen. Slocum:
“But every prediction made by Air.
Stephens was more than realized.—
(Cheers). The people of Georgia have
seen their lovely South desolated by the
demon of war ; their green fields of wav
ing harvest have been trodden down by
tho soldiery and tho fiery ear of war has
swept their land ; their temples of jus
tice have been laid in ashes ; and their
last slave wrenched from them by uni
versal emancipation. The peoplo now
bow in humble submission to their fate
—acknowledging their rights in slave
niio'wefrio'Uwk 4ud only asking to be
themselves once more beneath its protec
ting folds. Here again Mr. Greely steps
upon the stage, and this time be brings
with him what he calls the olive branch.
(Laughter.) He says to Mr. :
“1 told you that the Declaration of Inde
pendence justified the secession of the
South as much as it justified in the seces
sion if (lie Colonies in 177(1. You fool
isldy and wickedly believed me (Great
merriment ami cheering.) I told you
that you could go in peace. You foolish
ly believed this also. Now look at the
result—your young men slain by the
thousands your land filled with cripples,
your fields laid waste, your dwellings
burned and your slaves emancipated and
your friends reduced to beggary. Behold
now, 1 bring you peace offering. (Great
laughter and applause.) Confess your
self a vile traitor, disfranchise and dis
grace yourself and all who acted with
you for all time to come, and in return
we will allow Parson Brownlow. Hun
nicut, and that class of virtuous patriots
elect themselves to Congress and iu con
conjunction with the negroes they shall
hereafter rule over you. (cheers.) As
tounding magnanimity 1 Did the world
ever before witness such generosity on
the part of a brave people toward a fall
en foe 1 Suppose the war had resulted
differently—suppose the rebels had taken
Washington, mid having established
their own government over the entire
land, had said to the North. You have
burned our houses destroyed our crops
and impoverished our people. Wo are
willing you should bo represented in
Congress, but it must be upon condition
that you adopt an amendment to the
Constitution disfranchising forever all j
who fought against the South. What
would have been the result ? Why Gree
ley would not have been disfranchised
(laughter)—nor Thad Stevens nor Wen
dell Phillips, for they are not combat
ants. (Continued laughter.) Even Ben
Butler would have escaped—(great
laughter and cheering)—for you remem
ber lie was “bottled up” and couldn’t
tight. But there are others who would
have been affected, byjit and among the
number are Grant, and Sherman, and
Thomas and Sheridan, Farragut, and
Porter. (A voice—“And Slocum ! Slo
cum ! Slocum !” (cheers.) And all the
real soldiers and sailors under them.
What would have been tt e reply of tbe
veterans of our army to such a proposal
emanating from Jeff. Davis ? (Tbat’sit!)
they would have replied. “We fought
in a cause wc believed to lie just ; we
have lost—we will submit to any just
laws you may make, but when you ask
us to become our own executioners—to
aid iu disfranchising and forever disgrac
ing our trusted leaders we have but one I
answer to make. A wav with your olive
branch, you ina\ make us outlaws in the -
land of our nativity you may drive ns to j
foreign lands but you cannot compel us ;
to pul the knife to the throats of our com !
panions in suffering. (Cheers.) Andj
this, 1 think is about the answer you will *
get from the South for I have found that!
brave men arc much alike the world j
over.
Northern Swindling House*.
We are in receipt, almost daily, of let
ters from “Advertising Agency” houses j
in the Northern States, making the most]
liberal propositions for our enrichment.
If we bad accepted one half the proposals 1
made, since the establishment of the i
Manner, and tbe said Agencies bad com- j
plied with their miraculous overtures,
we would this day, be able to retire from
business with a competency—as would
likewise other publishers at the South,
who, doubtless, have received similar
proposals.
One firm offers S2OO for a one squar ’
advertisement three months; uuoth r will
furnish ns three hundred dollars toward*
the payment of a magnificient piano, pro
vided we insert a very small notice for
twelve months; a Lottery firm will pre
sent us w th a magnificent gold watch,
with a splendid diamond, for the inser
tion of an advertisement and editorial;
voucher as to the reliability of tbe firm; j
another Lottery concern writes that if
we will use our columns in the interest
of their establishment, a magnificent
farm will be donated us—said firm
proposing to dispose, by lottery, of three
thousand farms.
These are a few of the proposals re
ceived; and in every instance the said I
advertising agencies vouched for the re
spectability and reliability of the houses and
firms represented. Unfortunately, how
ever, (and this is tho reason why wo
have not become rich,) the Agencies
themselves furnished no vouchers ns to
their own standing. For aught we
know, they may all be escaped convicts
from “Blackwell’s Island,” (and doubt
less some of them are,) and presuming
because they were smart enough to bribe
or evade the vigilance of the guardians of
that prison house, they deem it an easy
task to humbug an f swindle the Southern
Press. And we are sorry to say, in a
measure, they have been successful. We
were green enough to be “taken in” once
or twice, but some of our brethren are
so extremely verdant that they continue
to allow themselves imposed upon, not
withstanding every assurance has been
given, that their northern advertising
patrons are viliians and imjKisters.
In conclusion, we say to all "Adver
tising Agencies,” that we will not pub
lish advertisements, the objects of which
are to swindle the people, either for pro
mises or money, and all such can save
stationery and postage, if they will not
address us.
Beast Butler and Impeachment of
President J ohnson.
Butler delivered a speech in Brooklyn,
N. Y., on the evening of the 24th inst.,
coursed at length upon'inf^lavor lie tfoD
by, the impeachment of President John
-8011. lie in reported by telegraph to
have claimed that improper public speed)
of a high official is impeachable, that the
Senate, from which members of eleven
States are excluded and, some of them
expelled, is a legal high court of impeach
ment; that if the accused neglect or re
fuses to appear before the Senate when
summoned, be may be tried, convicted
and deposed from bis office in bis office;
that all powers of impeachment are de
rived from English laws, and that, ac
cording to all law and precedent, the
President, if impeached, must be pre
vented from exercising the functions of
his office.
Butler enumerated the charges ho had
to make against the President as im
peachable offences, viz:
Ist. Drunkenness in office.
2d. The making of indecent and in
flamatory harangues.
3d. Tyranically and unconstitutionally,
as Chief Executive Officer, usurping law
ful rights and powers of Congress, in ap
pointing Provisional Governors for the
South, the reorganization of State Gov
ernments, and assumption of powers to
dictate who should vote in the recon
structed States.
4th. The corrupt use of the appointing
power.
sth. Improperly- using the Constitu
tional power of pardon for offences a
gainst the United States.
6th. Appointing rc beds to nfficc.
7th. Refusing to execute the Constitu
tional laws of Congress in the insurrec
tionary States.
Bth. Conspiring with John T. Monroe
to prevent and disperse a lawful conven
tion of loyal citizens in New Orleans,
and inciting Monroe and his associates
to disperse said convention and kill the
members thereof.
Suit has been commenced before tbe
Supreme Court by John A. Lester against
General Butler, charging him with false
imprisonment—damages laid at one hun
dred thousand dollars—and with fraudu
lent conversion of property—damages
fifty thousand dollars. Lester received
a free pass from Secretary- Stanton dar
ing the war to bring his family North.
General Butler disregarded the permit
and imprisoned him.

‘‘No Pent up Utica” Coniines Amer
ican Radicalism.
WeudeM Phillips, the Great High
Priest of Kadicaldom, is about to revo
lutionize the world, and elevate tins ne
gro everywhere, to a position iu “har
mony with the nineteenth century,” as
interpreted by New England Puritanism
The result of the recent elections at the
North, seems to have had a very mirac
ulous effect upon this fanatic. In the
AntirSlavery Standard he writes: “Rad
icalism travels Westwaid. Personal
Liberty bills, Womans Rights bills, and
all such legislation; started from New
England and have swung round tlia cir
cle. This last Yankee notion will soon
begin its travels, and complete them
when North and South know no race be-
fore the law? Then, when a million of
black men aid in shaping our national
policy, their race will feel tbe effect the
world over. They will never leave their
brethren in Cuba under the yoke. They
will throw a shield over tbe struggling
nationality of Ilayti and lift Brazil into
harmony with the nineteenth century.”
What a magnificent programme is laid
out for the entertainment of the nations
of the earth! “Woman’s Rights” and
"Free Loveism” must he recognized, not
only in the Imperial Halls of Europe but
among the sutty sons of Africa!
A nother Civil War.
The New York Times contemplates
another civil war as possible, from the
present disturbed condition of politics, in
the United States; and urges tbe States
“left out in tbe cold” to avert it, by pur
suing such policy as will allay the ex
citement of parties at the North. It
says:
“Such a war so begun would plunge
the whole country into a state of anarchy
and armed turbulence, from which it
could not emerge in twenty years, and
then only in fragments, exhausted in re
sources, decimated in population, and
powerful only for purposes of domestic
tyranny and misrule. There are men in
the country who think they could 1 etter
their fortunes and gratify their ambition
by plunging the country into such a cal
dron. But whatever might happen to
the rest of the country, tbe South may
rely upou it, its ruin from such a state
of things would be speedy and complete.
So long as there was anything left in
the Southern States which could feed re
venge or cram tbe insatiate maw of ava
rice and ambition, so loig would the
reckless malignants of the North make
them their common prey. It would only
be after their utter and complete exhaus
tion that the victors would commence
that quarrel among themselves which
would execute retributive justice and in
volve the whole country in a common
ruin.”
The “Little Villain” of tbe Times may
be a very shrewd politician, but he is
“not a Dropbet nor the son of a prophet.”
Another war , ~ rij .
of the South—but we would have the
swi et consolation that the North was
likewise irretrievably and hopelessly
ruined, and Raymond, and hundreds of
his stripe, perish miserable deaths at the
hands of an outraged populace. But, we
will have no more war. Butler, Stevens,
Sumner & Cos. are not fighting men.
“1 wish 1 bad Five lln ml red Dol
lar*!’’
llow many times, says the Sandersville
Georgian, have you heard this coming
from a hale slraping youth lounging
about some store door, as he yawned and
stretched his muscular lrame in the shade
during the past summer. He may still
lie wishing. Frobably is, if his idleness
has not involved him in some difficulty
which keeps him hid from the view in
the cell of some county Jail. Should
this young man still desire the gratifica
tion of his wishes we would refer him to
the operations of master Littiaston Cham
ju.lßß in Florida during the past yearjand
assure him that by pursuing the same
course he will not only get his five hun
dreddollars but have injaddition his health
improved the respect and confidence of
the community in which he may live, an
approving conscience, and a sure guar
antee that he will not become a drone
in society-, a miserable disgrace to his
friends a public nuisance. Go to work

labor you can overcome every difficulty i

The Marianna (Fla.) Courier says :
“Littleton Chambliss, aged sixteen
years son of Jas. H. Chambliss, of this
county cultivated fifteen acres in corn
and five acres in cotton ; has housed
two hundred and seventy two bushels
of corn, and picked for the gin two and
a half bales of cotton. With the usual
appliance the crop was made by himse'f.
Corn at $1 50 and cotton at 25 cents,
rather below than above market price,
his crop would yield seven hundred and
seventeen dollars and fifty cents. This
boy has shown an industry and applica
tion worthy of all praise and our Farmers
Club by its first act after permanent or
ganization should present him an appro- i
priate testimonial of the approbation of
the Club for his industry and zeal. This ;
incident demonstrates that Florida only ;
needs laborers of the right sort to devel
ope her resources and show her lands
equal to any upland in the latitude.”

The True Course-
We have on many occasions endeav
ored to point out that the true wisdom of
the South i to avoid political entangle
ments and devote itself exclusively to
material development. The results of
the recent elections have only confirmed
the propriety of these views. No one
can now doubt, we suppose, that tbe peri
od is far distant when the Southern
States will be accorded representation in
Congress, nor. if it were granted, can we
discover much practical good that would
result from it. The majority of the dom
inant party in both branches of Congresß
is too great to be affected in any way by
the same Southern vote, and the crimin
ations and recriminations which might
take place between excited politicians
would only tend to embitter and alienate
still farther the two sections. Under
these circumstances we can only recom
mend to the South a cheerful and patient
submission to that which is inevitable,
hoping and believing, as we do, that
such a course will lead ultimately to a
more composed and placid state of the
; public mind in all sections, and to the
j final restoration of the Southern States
i to the Union.
The South has extraordinary advan
i tages for production and manufactures,
| and when its people have fairly embark
! ed on such a career and begin to real
j ize in their own expedience bow much
more su! stantia! are its fruits than any
i which can be reaped in the barren fields
! of politics, they will have no cause to rc
! gret the new direction of their enterprise
and energies. The first thing tobedone
is to rebuild the fallen fabric of Southern
! industry to obtain capital, population and
j labor, and all else that is desirable will
' follow Jin due time. To begin with poli
j tics is to begin at the wrong end. We
| are far from recommending the exclusive
\ devotion of the South to local affairs, in
| a spirit of sullenness or spite On the
j contrary, we think that practical and
j profitable industry is the best means in the
! world of cultivating a cheerful and happy
I spirit, of diverting the mind from past
disappointments, and inspiring it with
hope and confidence in the future. By
the exercise of forbearance and good
temper in both sections, the present divi
sions of the country will ere many years
be healed. We appeal from the politi
| dans to the people. With the people all
real Union must begin, and if they can
be brought to understand and respect
each other, political relations will speed
ily resume their former character. There
is more probability, it seems to us, of
I such a consummation of the hopes of all
patriots: if the South will henceforth
make the development of her resources
the chief object of her ambition, and no
longer permit any pretext to exist for
making h ■ r a target for the envenomed
shafts of party hate. Wars are but days
in the history of nations, and not many
years will elapse, before tbe patient con
tinuance of the South in well doing will
overcome the most inveterate sectional
prejudices, and lay a foundation for the
restored Union, and future glory of the
country, which will be as lasting as
time.— /tall. Transcript.
Thf. Programme of Gerret Smith.—Ger
rct Smith, the distinguished New York
Radical, is not for blood and confiscation
like his collcttgwoo K 0,,,,rA11y. but. favors
a milder policy. lie says:
Happy should I be to see our country
brought to a just and permanent (peace
on the following terms:
1. No more punishment—there has
been enough.
2 No confiscation.
3. No disfranchisement of Southern of
fenders.
4. The National debt paid and the se
cession debt blotted out.
5. Impartial suffrage. I believe in
universal suffrage, but in this instance I
would insist only upon impartial suffrage,
impartial suffrage among all men, white,
black and red.
6. In deep sorrow for the suffering and
poverty of the South, let the Nation ex
empt her for some five or ten years from
the imposition of direct internal taxes.
In these taxes I do not include duties on
foreign goods.
1. Mutual forgiveness, and, as far as
possible, forgetfulness of the wrongs
which each has done the other.”
Give Gerret his negro and he becomes
quite a sensible man.
The object of the new secret order in
the South, the "Knights of Arabia,” is
supposed to be the conquest of Cuba,
and it is reported that expeditions will
sail from New York, New Orleans and
Mobile this month, comprising in all
$20,000 men.— St. Louis Paper.
Yes, that’s the object of it. We don’t
know much about the expeditions which
are about to sail from New York and
New Orleans, but that which is to sail
from this port is about ready to start.
The fleet, now lying at anchor in Frog-
Pond, near the month of Dog river, is a
very formidable one, consisting as it
does of no less than two wash tubs and a
slop bucket, each armed with rifled brick
bats and a double-barreled cornstalk. It

A Wife's Clothing Belongs to Her
self. — So decides a Virginia Court. The
case was that of theft of clothing from
a married lady.—The defense set up that
| the stolen clothing belonged to the bus-
I band and not to the wife, and, therefore,
| that there was no theft of the plaintiff’s

matter into consideration and finally de
cided that a wife owns her own clothing,
and not the husband, and the thief was
sent to the penitentiary.
