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

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.

An important question is pending in tbe Court of
Claims, as to when tho President's proclamation,

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

of much cotton will be restored to tho original

CONGRESSIONAL.

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.

section reads:
“ That if any person shall prevent, hinder, con

exercising the right of suffrage to whom the right
of suffrage waa guaranteed by tbe Fifteenth Amend
ment of tho Constitution of tho United States, by
means of bribery, threats, or threats of deprivacy
of such persons of employment or occupation, or of
ejecting such person from rented houses, lands or
other property, or by threats of refusing to renew
leasee or contracts for labor, or by threats of vio

on tho ground that tho injunction was temporary,
to continue only till the next term. Ellison’s coun
sel gave notice of their intention to disobey the
order of Iho Conrt in order to cause the arrest of
Ellison and then briDg his caso before the Supreme
Conrt on a writ of babc-aB corpus.
Tho Judge in hia-decision declares the enabling
act passed by tho Legislature unconstitutional,
which decision affects nearly all the officers in the
State.
Tho injunction was isauod this afternoon to Elli
son, and City Council and police; but they went on
with city affairs as nsuaL Cahoon issues a pro
clamation this evening, saying his police force will
ha promptly reorganized and requesting persons ap
pointed by Ellison to retire to their homes, presum
ing that no further breaches of peace may occur.—
It is supposed that whon Ellison holds court to-mor
row, tho United StateB authorities will arrest him,
which ia the manner in which his council, by hibeaa
corpus wish to get the case before the Supremo
Court. Ellison’s police still have control of tho city.
Richmond, April 1.—Tho city ia quiet, Ellison and
Cahoon each actiDg as Mayor. Cahoon demands
possession of tho City Hall. Ellison refuses. The
Federal troops stand aloof.
This evening tho matter wee taken into the State
Courts by Ellison, and Judge Welford, of the Cir
cuit Court, granted a mandamus and issued an in
junction restraining Cahoon from exercising ’ tho
duties of Mayor.
Richmond, April 2.—Tho day passed off quietly,
with the police of both Mayors on tho streets to

lison to givo up possession of the City Hall and
other property. Ellison refnsed. and the Marshal
then applied to tho military for aid. On the appear
ance of military EUison retired with his force to
other headquarters, a lot owned by tbe city, where
ho will continue to act as Mayor. This is done with
a view to get tho matter beforo tho Supreme Court.
