®ht (Quitman jfiaunrt. F. It. FILDES,- - Editor. QUITMAN, OEO. — tt — « FRIDAY, Aina S r 30, Oapt James I< BJosclev ), rnr *nthnriw*'l Gi-m-ral AotmU. to prn'-ilM* nnd fcrripi for mtbucrlption. and advrfilitlßK for tin {>uitm«n Ikmu'T. flir Polici «f I’row riplion Wlmnt Should we GmplO(1 Gin. Pope h::« decreed that state nffi rials shall do all in their power to break down, and destroy the conservative press of the country: and that said officials shall contribute, in their official capacity, (oontrary to law,) towards the uphold •- inn, cncoaragifrg and supporting of Yan kee adventurers and villainous traitors, wire have established among us an inccn diary press. Herein Ids Majesty, King John, acts an example, which the people will not be slow to follow, and which may recoil upon the bead* <>l bis own friends. Proscription is his theor , : and bn has the power to enforce it to a err fain extent; but llte peo/de, although in chains, are greater than he, possess more power, and, if wc are not mistaken, will Ajllow he example he has presented, and fully illustrate the policy of proscription. For example: in every village, town •u(f city in the State of Georgia, are numbers of negro mechanics, duy labor ers, eta, who arc dependent upon the conservative whites for labor and subsis tence. Many of these colored men have allied themselves with the Rad cal party —-joined its "Union Leagues” —and pledged themselves, by steel-bound oaths, to work in the interest of those who are clamorous for the oppression of our peo ple and confiscation of the remnant of property left them from the ruins of the revolution. These negroes have thus placed themselves in hostility to the pe.i ple among whom tli y live, by whom they arc employed, am) from whom they derive the bread of life. Whilst they are thriving on our subsistance, they arc plotting lor our further oppression and the confiscation of our property. And still the people confer upon them tavors, and treat tbumjin every respect as friends. This humane, but suieidul policy, should cease. If a stranger should commnni cato to yutn the startling information, that at the very first opportunity he in tended to rob you of your purse and place upon you insult and oppression, sod furnished unmistakable evidence of tiis sincerity of purpose, you certainly would not clothe him with the means whereby to remain within your reach, and opportunity to carry out bis hellish designs. Far from it: you would drive him from you with disgust. This is the ease with many negroes in Quitman and elsewhere. They have giv en undeniable evidence of a hostile spirit —they have joined the armies of the op pressor—and now only await the oppor tune hour to strike a fatal blow at the honor, the property and the homes of their friends and neighbors; and yet, our people are so charitable to the .faults of their old servants, —so disregardfol of the future interests of the country, tliut these vile and ungrateful scamps receive continued and lucrative employment, en couragement and support; and this, too from the very men whom they design to oppress and rob. We are possessed of much of tho “milk of human kindness and pity," but must confess that the actions of these new fangled fancy colored politicians, has converted much of it to gall. We are not disposed to foster the growth of a ripe.r, or to aid in driving the poisoned arrow deep in tho bosom of a brave, chiv alrous andjouce free, but now unfortunate people. It is therefore suggested that the pro scription policy of the immaculate Pope, be adopted by tho Conservatives, and that his party friends, (white and black) be brought to feel and appreciate the practical workings thereof. It may be said, that the freedmen are ignorant, and that Radical emissaries have taken advantango of their duplicity, and led them astray. Tho time has been when suchexcuao would prove available, but not now. They have, time and again, j received wise counsel and instruction i from those who have ever befriended : them; they have been constantly warned , against the intrigues and designs of the ] enemy, and with a settled determination, j have persisted in adhering to the cause j of the Jacobins, The plea of ignorance is of no avail—they kno.v the correct ; course, hot refuse to follow it. Many of j them are intelligent, shrewd and design-1 ing—they are plotting for the ruin of our government and domestic happiness— and with the cool effrontery of the Devil, persist in realizing a subsistence through our bliud and stupid benevolence. Let this ruinous policy cease I Employ none (no matter how pressing the emer gency) who are allied with the Radical dietructinnists. Let them suffer: yea, if need be, let them starve! T. ey have no night to expect aid from those whom they design reducing to worse than Egyptian bondage. Perhaps their Radi cal friends will come to the rescue and supply t eir wants Carry out in full the proscriptive policy of Gen. Pope, and let his own fi ietide drink to the dregs the bitter cop lie prepared for others. It is not generally known that General j John Pope rescinded the order closing the state University,-on- tlte express con dition, that the State Treasurer must pay if no more money,, “and the preen of the State must'not'mmment'upon the action of the General commanding-." There—tell ns if that is not Want mailings Ho com ment is needed—the order -speaks for itself —and will, for all time to come, damn its author to eternal infamy. The Great Requirement Southern Labor. A subject of far greater importance than the political reconstruction of Ge American Union, is the question of Son th em labor. The negro has lmd a fair trial; and it has been sufficiently demon *strttted that he is unreliable, and adds neither wealth nor interest to the coun try. Under these circumstances, it is well that landed proprietor*, men of en terprise and capital, and those who have the future prosperity of .lie South at heart, should Us devising ways and means, whereby the vacuum created by emancipation can be supplied, and pros perity restored. Time will rectify our political difficulties, but it requires ener gy, enterprise ami capital to restore our industrial prosperity. General butler uttered the truth (a rare thing with him) when he declared that "it is a self-evident political truth, that where the land is held in large tracts by the employer, to be tilled by the em ployed, there can lie no just and trno field for the exercise of Republican citi zenship.” To give value to land we must have a dense and thrifty population, al lied with the soil by interest. Ist ml in always cheap where labor is scarce and unreliable. The object, then, of our peo ple, should be to induce the settlement among us of a reliable, thrifty population, and cause them to be identified in inter est by becoming landed proprietors. There is but one plcn by which this great desideratum can be accomplished: Tlte direct importation of foreign popula tion and labor. This can bo procured very readily, if the proper policy is pur sued; ami as good terms can bo made with the Irish and men of other nation alities, as were made the present year with the freedmen, and certainly to the decided advantage of the landed proprie tors: not only in the character of service rendered, but in the general satisfaction given, by deportment and results. The expense of importation is light. A commission firm in Savannah, Messrs. Roberts &■ Tillman, arc making arrange ments whereby from one hundred to a hundred thousand laborers can be brought direct to Savannah, on English or American merchantmen. They have established an Agency in Europe, thro’ which any character of labor desired can be procured, from the most hardy classes of ycortenry; and Ibis agency is charged not to forward any hut trustworthy lab orers. As to cost of transportation, and Compensation expected for services ren dered by the laborers, we are unprepared to give an opinion. Wc are justified in saying, however, that the matter of transportation will be a small item, and compensation not move than at presout paid to freedmen. We would, however, advise employers to be liberal to the em ployees, and good and faithful service may be expected. But the true p licy of the planter wouM be, to divide, say half of Ins plan tation into forty aero farms, build upon them small, but jomfortablo houses, and make sale of the samo to the laborers, at extremely moderate rates—to bo paid in work, or in yearly instalments. The la borer thereby immediately becomes iden tified with tho country, and will devote every spare dollar and moment to tho improvement of his homestead. It is true, in the course of a year or two, lie may realize sufficient as a laborer to cut loose from his employer, and cultivate his own farm; but tho native planter need not bp inconvenienced in conse quence, for the prosperity of tho original contractor or employee, will, in the mean time, induce others, in his native land, to follow him to the South. This is the manner in which the immi gration Rchcme in the Northwest was managed; and if it proved successful there, how much more so would it bo here. Fifteen or twenty years ago landA that now sell in Illinois for one hundred dol lars per acre, could have been purchased for five or ten dollars. The enhanced value has been accomplished by a judi cious system of immigration. And if such has been the case with Illinois, most assuredly similar results would follow in Georgia, for our lan Is are more valua ble. The average revenue rom lands in Il linois is about thirty dollars per acre; in Southern Georgia, industry and enter prise will cause them to yield from fifty to one hundred dollars per aero. Therefore we say, let the proprietors : of the soil offer landed inducements for foreign labor, and they will not only pro cure faithful labor, but enhance the value of their land ten fold. It is tbe only sal vation of the country, and the sooner the j peoole stare the fact in the face, and ap-1 predate it properly, the better it will bo , for all interests. ‘Trocrastination is the ! thief of time.” If we dilly-dally with the j present worthless labor population—hop-; ing against hope, that it can yet be made available—-the country will be irretrieva bly ruined. In this connection wo will remark, that our sister State, Florida, i.i moving in this foreign immigration scheme: The citizens of several counties have made arrangements whereby several thousand j Irish laborers will be introduced tbe ap- j preaching winter. Some of the largest and most successful planters in that State, have fully tested the adaptability of white labor, and are delighted with re sults. Tho Editor of the Tboniasville Enter prise lias had a visit from Mr. T. J. | Wombwell, who is to be the editor and proprietor of the new paper in that city, 1 who informed him that he lias no idea of ! publishing a Radical sheet.

The popular propHelors of the "South ern Palace Dry Goode lloiioo,” of .Savan nah have one of their peculiar advertise ment in to-day’s J’ctoYor. \Ve have fre quently hud occasion to allude to this ex tensive house, and recommend it to the favorable consideration of interior mer chants and planters. Mr. Orff, the senior partner, is c-onstAnlly in the Northern markets, and is thereby enable not only to keep on hand the best of slocks, but to purchase them at an advantage.

A Great Convenience Ford & Tlioiupnou We direct attention to the card of Messrs. Ford & Thompson, of Savannah.

We most cordially recommend this i ews firm to the favorable consideration of the readers of the Hanna-, and hope they will occasionally extend to it pat ronage. Roberts & Tillman. Attention is called to the card ‘of this new Commission house, of Savannah. Hiram Roberts is an old and highly es teemed citizen of the Forest City, and gen rally known as % reliable and ener getic business man. Joseph Tillman, of Madison, Florida, is welj known through out this section as a gentleman of intelli gence, business tact, and with all, one of the largest and most successful planters in the "Land of Flowers.* It is a strong firm, and is recommended to the business community as tru twortby and reliable. Messrs. Sloan, Groover & Cos. This is anew firm, and takes the place of “Sloan, Slegal & Stubbs,” for tiierly a popular commission house of Sa vannah. They are located on the Bay, and business entrusted to them will be carefully and promptly attended to. Mr. C. E. Groover, of Brooks, and Col. A. T. Mclntyre, of Thomas, arc connected with this firm,—which is a guarantee for tho faithful transaction of business. They are correct, discreet and clever gentle men -facts sufficiently known in this country to secure for the firm an exten sive business. A Hopeful Future. In the midst of the gloom and depres sion presented in business circles to-day, says the Pittsburg (Pa.) Republic, there is a single ray of hope, which lights up the future and gives confidence to the merchant manufacturer and laboring man There are such unmistakable signs of de cadence in the Radical party, such con clusive proof that it is falling to pieces by its own inluftreut rottenness, that the country at large may well indulge the hope, that at no distant day we shall be rebeved from the thraldom of this destruc tive organization, and our national politi cal commercial and manufacturing inter ests be allowed once more to move on in a smooth, uninterrupted and peaceful channel. The working men of the nation have a fearful account to settle with the Radi;, cal loader* Beguiled by their honeyed words,'they were induced to -east their ballots for men who have in every par ticular falsified their promises, and who to-day, notwithstanding the depression in business circles, and the unmis takable complaints of the working men which come tip from every portion of the land, are still pressing their ruin ous policy, with the determination of men bent on rule or ruin. But there is a light ahead. The day is dawning. The masses are awakened fully to the immensity of the interests at stake—the peace and prosperity of Hie nation—and arc silently, but not the less determinedly, preparing to hurl from power the men who for six years past have so grossly abused the trust reposed in them. It is a consolation that in the affairs of men or nations there comes a like a day of reckoning—a day in which the accounts of the past will be audited ami the balance struck for or against the accounting parties as the figures may detorniine. So far as the Radical party is coticctn ed, its tiny 1 1 reckoning- lias arrived, and the jury of the people are summing up the testimony preparatory to the rendi tion of the verdict at the coming elections. It requires not the pen of a prophet to foretell what that verdict will be. Already the culprit trembles for conscience strick en, the leaders know that tho people whom they have wronged insulted and oppressed, will rise in* their might, and with resistless force sweep them from power. We may hope for a great revi val of former business activities. Our men will no longer be kept in idleness, our factories will teem with the burn of industry, our merchants will again be blessed with seasons of prosperity, and the whole people under tbe magic change will commence anew their march toward supremacy among all the nations of the earth.

Pope’s General Orders, No. f>3, declare* that all jurors shall hereafter be taken exclusively from the lists of regis tered voters, without discrimination. — Thus at one stroke annulling the entire Jury law of Georgia, and practically closing every court of justice ill the State; for no Judge, possessed of a parti cle of self respect, would consent to pre side over an illegal Court or deliver a grave charge to a block jury cinpannelled contrary to all recognized Statutes.

We are glad Gen. Pope has deemed proper to discover tbe grave "mistake,” but. he would have subserved the inter ests of tbe District far more by repealing the Order in toto. Perhaps he can likewise discover, by a careful examination a slight "mistake” in his celebrated Press Order.

Suspension of tlie Alliun)’ News. The Bainbridge Georgian says it "learns from private sources that the Albany News was suspended by order of General Pope, Commander of the Third Military District, on Saturday the 17th. We have not learned the reason for this course more than the general charge of disloyalty.” We very much doubt this report. It is true the News has not made its appear ance in our sanctum for ten days or more and there is a probability it has "gone under.” It certainly gave no cause to Pope to suppress it, as its editorials were mild but dignified. Wc are disposed to agree with the Savannah Advertiser, that it was a more powerful General than i Popejwho caused its suspension—Gen eral Starvation. Getting Scared- A dispatch from Wilmington, N. C., says that the Republicans ill that city are becoming alarmed lest a negro should be elected Mayor. It is too late now to “cry over spilt milk;” as they have sown so shall they reap. It was a nice little game the radicals fixed up to catch negro votes —never dreaming that poor Cuffie had aspire tionsaa well as mean Yankees. A negro Mayor is a small matter. Look out! Perhaps you will see a score or more negro Senators and Representatives de manding seats in the United States Con gress. If the Yankees can stand that, we of the South have no cause to complain: especially as we no longor have any in terest in the United States Govern ment. Conservative Convention. A Conservative County Convention was held in Tallahassee, Fla., on tho 24th, and it is reported as a grand success. White and black delegates were present in force, and hundreds of spectators were unable to gain admittance to the hall. It is represented as a grand rally of the masses, and speeches were made by sev eral distinguished gentlemen. The reso lutions adopted accept the situation, pio puse to give the freedmen every political and civil right, and call upon all, without 'regard to color or antecedents, to unite to reconstruct the Btate under the acts of Congress. A dirty sheet, up in Griffin, in this State, edited and controlled by a dirty native dog—the American Union, -stands s' litary and abne in giving a wholesale endorsement to the vile proposal of l’ope to exile our best men.

John Pope is oue of this class ; but the position he occupies gives importance Id hia opin ions and therefore the reason for reproduc ing the following extract from his recent letter to Gen. Grant. It Is sufficient evidence to convince any jury of twelve men, that the man is crazy : “The earnest and touching anxiety of the freed people to learn cannot but make a profound impression upon the mind of any one who bus had the opportunity to observe it. It may safely be said that the marvellous progress made in educa tion and knowledge by these people, aid ed by tbe noble and charitable contribu tions of Northern societies and individ uals, finds no parallel in the history of mankind. If continued (anJ if contin ued at ail it must be by the same agen cies,) and the masses of the white peo ple exhibit the same indisposition to be educated that they do now, five years will have transferred intelligence anJ education so far as the masses are con cerned to the colored people of this dis trict.” An Appeal to the President The Memphis Avalanche makes an earnest appeal to the President to arouse from his let! argy, and rescue thccoun ry from the hands of the spoilers ere it be too late. We quote the closing portico of the article : We ask yon in tlte name of our fore fathers, In the name of departed liberty, in the name of a once hooored Constitu tion and in the name of suffering human ity, break your charms, re assert your place, drive out the usurpers, reestablish States, break down despotism, and be a worthy successor of Washington and Jackson. Yea, fifteen States clothed in sackcloth, and covered with ashes, look to you and with a voice that shakes the continent—almost wakes the dead—-call upon you, you—yes, you—to save them and their children from hopeless abject slavery. Do not say Congress is responsible. There is no Congress. It is a rump, a miserable Radical rump, and we beg you heed not its mandates. Deposed you they have, but they have no right to do I the wicked deed. They were and are j viler than midnight assassins. The blow I aimed at you has fallen upon the whole ! nation, ami it reels to and fro as though !in its last throes. You alone can save ! it. Strike, and millions will rise from ; their death of slavery to anew and glo rious life. Our Savior said : "And i greater works than these shall they do.” : lie had stood by the grave of Lazarus and called him from his sleep of death. Wc bid you stand with uplifted hands by the grave of liberty ar.d bid her rise, and she will awaken to a glorious life. .Stand by the deep, dark grave of fifteen States, and command them to rise to life and take their glorious place amid that brilliant Constellation which has shone for eighty years upon the American sky. Do this, and high as Jackson, nay alongside of Washington you place the name of Andrew Johnson. Fail to do this, and a darkne s thick and black will forever obscure a name which might have shone with a splendor equal to any of the "few, the immortal names that were not born to die.” Now, Mr. Presi dent we have made this earnest call, up on one whom we loved to honor in hap pier days, when together we fought a gainst dark lanterns.

Truth from a Uxiox Shrieker. —Flake, of the Galveston Bulletin, a notorious Northern Radical, says, “We may just as well tell the truth at once. Whatever lights or privileges have been bestowed on the freedmen by the North, have beeu given of necessity. It is a great mistake to suppose that there is any superfluity of love for colored men in the bosoms of Northern people. There is an intense hatred of rebellion, but no more love for the negro than can be conveniently enjoy ed. Tbe Hues of distinction between the races are deeper broader and more indeli ble in Quaker Pennsylvania than Mis 8 ssippi or Texas It would not be strange if, sometime in the far distaut future, the negro would be forced to ap peal to the South agaiiist Northern pre judice.” Registration in Alabama’ Registration has beeu completed in Alabama, and returns in full, have beeu received from all the counties.

Editors A'ei cs <C Herald: Since Sambo has got to be an institution, and a part of the political buzz of tbe states that erst <li.l form a Constitutional Republic, it is no part of wisdom or political foresight to ignore his existence, or lightly estimate hia influence on the destiny of the race* and the country. Vice and ignorance are more potent for evil than virtue and intelligence for good. Like tbe sweeping tornado, tbev are swift ant terrible in devasta tion and as unerring as fate itself in the work o ruin The tatter, like the gentle process of recu perating nature, though they glide along in their cpiiet currents, undisturbed by the howling storm overhead, can heal only by the aid of tune. We are at present driven on by the wild humcand or mad ambition, and the fanaticism of debauched i p„bl*c sentiment The frenzy of the controlling I element cannot pause to parley with reason, or j take counsel from wisdom. Like the wave huhod ! into furv and foam by the breath of angry Nep i tune, it call neither turn aside, stop, nor go back; i but, hurried on by the surging billows mat fol low in its wake, must continue its course till it I breaks and dissolves upon the beach, j There is no surer evidence of our being in the neighborhood of hazardous navigation than the . feverish anxiety of the Radical crew, an.l tbe nt i ter absence of all alarm on the part of their new i shipmates. The eagerness of the former to secure I the negro’s help, is only equalled by the zealous ; self-importance that marks his upward progress 1 to greatness and power; and both exhibit unrais- I takable signs of that sort of lunacy the Gods are said to afflict their doomed victims with, just pre ceding the final catastrophe. ... , There is however, some method tn tbe mad ness of the negro. Taught by his quondam friends to believe that he has been suddenly transported from tbe regions of darkness and [g norance to tbe summit of intelligence and light, and that tbe elective franchise is a rignt long with i held from him, he is at a loss to And the distinction i between that right and the right to hoid office, j Impressed with the idea that he is at least equal, in the social, moral and intellectual scale, to the vagabonds who court his political association, he is uot unmindful of the political qMpro quo. and is beginning to assert the logical deduction !of the argument that makes him a voter. In the Quitman Banner of to-day, Mr. Patrick Hcklin", S a v,. r y respectable gentleman of color, boldly throws down the gauntlet, and proclaims some ■ potent reasons for the faith that is in him. The candidacy of Mr. Fickling is one of the significant signs' of the times, and develops* a i tact of the gravest import to tbe American peo ple. It is the natural fruit of the Radical tree | [tsetf. The fact is clearly uml formally present j ed that the new voting element will claim Its share of the spoils, and that no party can secure I its strength without pledges and a fair division. The dominant party must, therefore, yield to S the pressure, and submit to a “mixture of races lin the h ills of the National Legislature and, ■ peradventure, to a colored presiding officer in : the Senate, or lose the negro vote of the South, and hasten to its final dissolution. It is not in I their present pnigiamine to do that thing; for two : reasons it bus been and will be excluded: hirst, it will consign tbe party to defeat and infamy, | and second, they have too many hungry aspir ant* to think of giving Sambo a place. The only : use they have for the negro is his vote, and, tor one i at!) glad he is finding it out; and it that i fact shall become generally known among the freedmen, I shall expect to see them cast their ; entire vote for delegate* of their own race. I should an election for members of Congress be 1 ordered under the present scheme of reconstrue ! tion; and it may, in the course of events, become j the true policy of the obstructionary whites to give aid and comfort to the movement.
