Movements are making in various directions to colonize the Southern States with emigrants from the North and from Europe. Maryland and Virginia find considerable favor, and well directed efforts have been made to colonize the still milder region of North Carolina. The New York Post nays : Among the latter attempts is a settlement in Hyde county, thirty miles northeast of Wash ington, N. <5., which lies between and borders the Pungo and Alligator rivers, and the canals of the samo names constructed in their neigh borhood. The tract purchased by the company comprises 50,000 acres. The land is sold to colonists at five dollars an acre, but, to avoid monopolies, not more thnn two hundred acres are sold to one person. Twenty-five per cent, of the purchase money is paid in cash, and the balancein five years. The title has been given r, ti^rtea iHSi> wt-um >vi utb uau&s. i-ht on the fishing grounds had IS.

It is the intention of the company to ran the Hattie Low regularly between New York city and the settlement. Pungo Biver is found to be tho most navigahlo of the two bor dering streams. It affords a depth of nine feet at the dock. New Rnlcs of the Supreme Court. We quote, as follows, from the Atlanta Con stitution, of yesterday: Ordered, That tho following bo adopted as additional rales of this Court, which the re porter is directed to publish with the 39th vol ume of Georgia reports, and to cause a copy of the rale relating to tho duties of clerks, with a copy of this order, to bo forwarded to each clerk of the Superior and City Courts of this State for their instruction, that there may be no cause for instituting proceedings against any of them for neglect of the duty thereiu prescribed. Buie 29. If any Judge of the Superior or City Courts shall neglect or refoso to sign and certify any bill of exceptions as required by law; or Bhall fail or refuse to specify in his certificate the cause of delay, in case he has withheld his signature till after tho expiration of the thirty days, within which ho is required to sign the same, for any of tho causes justify ing such delay; the party tendering the bill of exceptions, if he desires a mandamus nisi, to bo directed to such Judge, most make his ap plication by petition to this Court, as prescribed by section 4198 of the revised Code, en or be fore the third day of the term of this Court, next after the bill of exceptions is tendered, or he will not be heard; and the case, if npon the docket of this Court, will be dismissed and tho judgment of tho court below stand affirmed. Buie 30. It shall be the dnty of each and every clerk of the Superior or City Courts to send up each original bill of exceptions, with his certificate thereupon that it is the original, to the clerk of this Court, just as it is received from the Judge, separate and distinct from and disconnected with the record, or any other docu- ment or paper. If kept separate, the bill of exceptions and the transoript of the record may, for tho convenience of the clerk, be for warded in the samo envelope or cover. Sensible Talk. A correspondent of the Rural Carolinian dis coursing npon the situation, says: There is one idea which seems to have taken possession of the Southern people, and until that is eradicated, there is bnt little prospect of real prosperity. We mean the devotion of alt our energies to the production of cotton. It will not do to be dependent npon the West for our corn, flour and bacon, and upon the North and East for everything we wear, from a hat to a pair of shoes, or nse, from a piano to an axe* handle. All this talk about the value of the cotton crop, tha restoration of the South, glorious prosperity, and the like, is mere twattle. The rich are growing richer and the poor poorer, every day. The money does not stay at home to build up railroads, factories and internal im provements, bnt it goes North and West for subsistence, gew-gaws and gim-cracks. Nor is it used to pay off old debts, and thus strengthen tbe honesty and independence of tho citizen. It is spent recklessly, because a great deal of it is in the hauds of a class which never had money to spend before. It is spent freely by others because it is greenbacks, and they feel that there is no security in any investments they can make. Does not any man of common sa gacity see what must be the end of borrowing money at from twelve to twenty-five per cent, to grow cotton with unreliable labor, and be de pendent upon our oppressors for nearly every thing we eat, wear or nse ? We do not object to the planting of cotton as the money crop. That is all right—plant bnt ittle, cultivate it well, and make it pay. Wo believe the true policy is to contract the area in cultivation, cultivate more carefully, improve the staple, and compete with the world for the finest quality rather than the greatest quantity. Grow nil the corn, wheat, oats and potatoes re quired for your own consumption, convert all swampy places into meadows, provide yonrself with clover lots, hurley lots, rje lots, and all means of aiding the corn crib. Try to raise a few more bogs, cattle, sheep, and drop in now and then a horse or mnle colt. Encourage your neighbor, who hAs a knack of coopering, and have yonr tubs and backets made at home. Patronize yonr own tanneries and shoemakors. Make your own axe-helves and clothes-pins. Enconrage your home-wagon and carriage- makers, plough manufacturers and blacksmiths —don’t run to the Btore for everything. Pat ronize yonr own magazines and newspapers; pay for them and read them. Take the Bnral, read it, give it tbe benefit of your experience, expose humbugs, advocate truth and honesty, and labor, capital, independence, and prosperi ty will soon follow. That is the whole story in few words. Capi tal is accumulated by any man or community not by what is made, bnt by what is sated. Consider the vast aggregate value of tbe annual crops tbe South has tamed oat for tho last gen eration , and see how little we have got to show for them; and so it will be to the end of time, unless we learn to supply our own necessities at home, and cease to import everything we re quire to make life comfortable. Nnbterrauean Lakes. Iu connection with a notice of the subterra nean pond supposed to exist at Worcester, Mass., the Lawrence American makes tho an nexed statement: In Stockton, CaL, and immediately around it, an abundant supply of good water can he had anywhere by boring down a dozen feet with a common auger with a long handle. Picnio par ties carry a pump and stand, lead pipe and an anger as a part of the required articles for tho day. But a very short time is expended in ob taining water. The fire reservoirs have no bot toms and require no filling, tho water Cuming in freely as soon as they are dug. It was ne cessary to change the place of bnrial first se lected in the town, tho water penetrating the graves and partially filling them. _ Yet there is no healthier place than that locality in that or any other State. An artesian well was sunk 1200 feet in 1855, and ever since has thrown up a solid column of water ten feet above the sur face of the ground. Some thirty or forty miles from Stockton there is a large tract called “float land” which moves on tho surface, probably of a lake, several hundred feet at times. Hundreds of cattle graze upon it with perfect safety. It is supposed to have been formed much as the Worcester land. There are several pieces of such ground in different countries of Europo. J.-HE Pxeoan Massacre.—CoL Baker, who commanded the expedition against the Piogans, writes to General Sheridan, as follows: I was satisfied that tbe following number ap proximates nearly to the exact truth as possible: The number killed at the Piegan village was one hundred and seventy-three, of whom one hun dred and twenty were able-bodied men, and fif ty-three women and children. One hundred and and forty women and children were afterwards captured and released. I believo that every ef fort was made by the officers and men to savo the non-combatants, and that such women and children that were killed were accidentally kill ed. The report published in the Eastern papers is wholly and malicionsly false. FROM WASHINGTON. Washdcotox, March 31 Revenue $375,000. The President and several members of the Cabi net attended Thomas’ fancral at Troy. The National Bank delegation argued further against the funding bill before tho Ways and Means Committee. Bontwell was present. The mass of evi dence presented tended to ehpw tho Banks could’nt operate profitably on four*and a half per cent bonds. Attorney General Hoar signed before the Su premo Court to-day in favor of reepening’the legal tender decision, which was made by one majority vacancies on the bench. Carlisle opposed. Tiioywith had nothing to do with majorities. Much trouble arises from such reviews. WAsmsoTOX, April 1.—A Philadelphia constable in attempting to serve a writ on a colored man in negro quarters committed a homicide. The negro, armed with a knife attempted to escape. The con stable thereupon fired upon him, killing a by-stand ing negro. Tho constable fled from the infuriated crowd of negroes to jail, where ho awaits tho result of tho inquest by a Coroners’ jury.

Tha President, responding to a serenade by the negro club, said: ‘ lean assure those present that no consummation, since the close of tho war, affords mo eo much pleasure as the ratification of the Fif teenth Amendment to tho Constitution by three- fourths of the States of the Union. I havo felt the greatest anxiety ever since I was called to this housa to know that this was to bo secured— it looked like the realization of the declaration of independence. I cannot say now so much on this subject ss I wonld like to, not being accustomed to public speaking, but thank you for your presence this evening." Sumner also addressed the meeting. In a fuller statement of the legal tender question iu the Supreme Court to-day, the Chief Justice an nounced the order that, in consideration of the mo tion of the Attorney General and of the argnments thereon, tho cases of Lattem against the United States, and the demand against the legal tender cases, be set down fora hearing on all the questions presented in the records on the second Monday in April, of the present term. From this order tho Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Nelson, Mr. Justice Clif ford, and Mr. Jnstice Field dissented. Washisotos, April 2.—There is a tremendous pressure from tbe West against the seventh section of tho Funding bilk An important question is pending in tbe Court of Claims, as to when tho President's proclamation, dated Juno 24th, 1865, regarding commercial inter course, and removing restrictions in certain por tions of the South, took effect. Tho 24th of June of that year was Saturday, but tho proclamation bearing that dato was not promulgated until Tues day following. In the meantime, Treasury agents made many important seizures. The intention is to appeal tho question to the Supreme Conrt, in order to definitely determine when tho proclamation took effect—whether on the 24th or 27th of June. If the Court decides in favor of tho 24th, the proceeds of much cotton will be restored to tho original owners. It is raining steadily. Revenue to-day over $1,000,000.

Saly, of Admiral Poor’s staff, has arrived, with dispatches from San Domingo, with Mr. Cohen, commissioner for the exchange and ratification of tho treaty. Tho latter says the vote on annexation was conducted in the moat peaceable manner all ovor tho country. In the agricultural districts tho vote was almost unanimous in favor of annexation. The question of annexation to SpaiD, which was diseassed during two years was carried by only 4000 votes. Cabral’s election in 1866 was effected through universal suffrage by a majority of 4300 votes; but the voto in favor of annexation with tbe United States, which was taken in less than two weeks without interference of any kind, and almost with out tbe presence of a single soldier, was decided by a majority of 16,000 with only two percent opposi tion. Everything was quiet when tho cruiser left San Domingo and tho merchants wero awaiting the decision of th- United States. The beet opinion iB that the recent legal tender decision by tho Supremo Court will be reversed.

Wasuisotos, March 31 —Tho House ia discussing tho transfer of the ireedman's bureau property to tho educational bureau. After a long argument tha bill transferring the property of the Freodmcn’s Bureau to the Educa tional Bureau and tbe acceptance of an amendment that tho money bo expended under direction of the President of the United States, a motion to table was lost by 40 to 89. The morning hour expiring, tho bill went over. Paine reported a resolution seating Texas mem bers. Shanks objected to Conner, and read certain expressions of disloyalty. Butler read about Con ner’s cruelty to soldiers while a Federal Captain. Brooks made a point of order: the House had noth ing to do with the private character of persons elected. The Chair overruled tbe point. Finally, all members wore seated. Their names are W. T. Clarke, J. O. Connor, E. Degencr, and G. W. Whit more. Texas was then resumed and tho House ad journed. A motion to rof or Conner, from Texas, to the Elec tion Committoo, elicited sparkling debate. Butler produced affidavits that Conner had whipped his negro soldiers over whom he had been captain. Shanks stated that ha had secured the appoint ment for Conner to tho service, whence Conner was dismissed upon tho ground of goneral worthless ness. During the discussion Stevenson said, referring to Butler, the control of tho subject had been taken from tbe Committee on elections by a gentleman who generally took charge of everything—adding to the argument, “that gentleman, Batler." If anybody thought to have exparte affidavits taken in Virginia. New Orleans Or Texas, making I stration. "He was visited at charges against a member, he would have them ousted from their seats and tried on tlkwe charges. He had heard of moat outrageous charges made sg&icBt sundry members of the House. He did not beliere them. Ha did not believe that any member bad ever taken a minister of the gospel, chained him in a chain-gang among negroes and made them all work together like slaves. (Laughter.) He did not beliere that any member of the Houso had carried off the treasury of a whole city. (Laughter.) It was not & fact, and if anybody said it, he for one would shun with contempt any man who would ask tho House to try such a question. But if the Bouse tried this question it would havo to try that After being seated, Conner was allowed ten minutes, to speak. He attributed the opposition of ShankB to the fact that his (Conner’s) father had been a prominent op ponent to that gentleman in the Convention that nominated him for Congress, and to tho fact that he, Shanks, supposed that he owned him because ho had nominated him to the naval academy. As to Butler, he said that with all that gentleman’s talent and ability, he had been forcibly impressed to-day with tho conviction that ho had missed his calling, and he would have mado a much hotter character for himsolf in the profession of low com edian. The Speaker reminded the gentleman from Texas that his language was not in order. Batler, disdainfully—Oh! ho does not know any better. (Laughter.) Conner—I withdraw it. Shanks remarked that tho member from Texas had told the House that he was turned out of tho Naval Academy for uttering worthlessness, and again added th>t ho was worthless. The Speaker reminded Shanks that tho gentleman from Texas was now a member of the Houso, and that remarks which wore in order an hour ago wero not in order now. Shanks—I beg pardon of tho House, but not of the gentleman. In tho Senate the Texas Senators were seated. Amos case is up. Ames occnpied all tho day with no result, to ad journment.
