Ion 'of inslienabiUiy for a certain po-

pedient to turn over the cav Jiy buracks at

partment for the establishment of an Ltdian
school on ft larger scale. This sshool has
now one hundrod and:fifty-eight pnpLa,
asleciefl from variens tribes, and is in foil
op : ration. Arrangements are also made for
the edneation or a number of Indian bate
and girle belonging to tnbea mi the Pacific

in Oregon. These institutions wtli oom-

List spring, information wis rocsivecl of
the crrganizi'.ion or an extensive movement
In tha western States, the object of which
was the occupation by unauthorized persons
of oortaln lands in the Indian Territory cod
ed by the Oherokoes to the Government for
the purpose of settlement by other Indian
tribes.
On the 29th of April, I irtued a proclama
tion warning all persons against participation
m end* *n attempt, and, by the co-operation
of a milita*y force, ih« invasion was prompt
ly cheeked It is my purpose to prowet the
rights of the Indian Inhabitants of that Ter
ritory to tho fall extent of the Executive
power. Bat it would be unwise to ignore
the fact that a Territory S3 largo and so fer
tile with a population so eperee and with eo
crest a wealth of unused resources, will be
found more exposed to the repetilion of such
attempts as happened this year, when the
surrounding 8tatea are more densely settled,
and the westward movemont of our popula
tion looks still more eagerly for fresh lands
to occupy. Under tuch circumstances the
difficulty of maintaining the Indian Territo
ry in its prceont state will greatly increase,
and the Indian tribes inhabiting it would
do well to prepare for such a contingency.
, therefore, faily approve or tho advice giv
en to them b7 the Secretary or tho Interror
on a recent occasion, to divide amongithem-
seives in severalty, as large a qaantity of
their lands as they can cultivate, to acquire
Individual title in fee, instead of their pres
ent tribal ownership iu common, and to con
sider in what manner the balance of their
lands may be deposed of by the Government
for their benefit By adopting «uch a policy
they would more certaniy secure for them
selves the value of their possessions, and at
the same time promote their progress n
olTiliZttfon and prosperity, than by endeav
oring to perpetuate the present etate of
things in the Territory.
The question whether a change in thecon-
trol of me Indian servioe should be made,
was In the Forty-fifth Congress referred to a
joint eommities of both Hons6s for trqnirv
and report. In my last annnal message I
expressed the hope that the decision of that
question, then in prjepect. “would arrest
farther agitation of this subject, such agita
tion being apt to produce a disturbing sfifeot
neon tho service as well as the Indians
themselves” 8Ince then, the committee
having reported, the question has been deci
ded In the negative by a vote in the House
Of Representatives.
For the reasons here stated, and in view of
the fact that farther uncertainty on this point
Will be calculated to obstruct other mnch need
ed legislation, to wesken the disc pline of the
service, and to unsettle salutary measures now
• in progress for the government and improve
ment of tbe Indians, I respectfully recommend
that tbe decision arrived at by Congress at its
last session be permitted to stand.
The efforts made by tho department of the
interior to arrest the depredations on thetim
her lands of the United States bare been con
tinued. and bare met with considcrab'e success.
A large number of cases of trespass have oren
prosecuted in the courts cf the United States;
others have been settle*, the trespassers offer,
mg to make payment to tbe government fer tbe
value of tho timber taken by them. The pro
ceeds of there prosecutions and settlements
turned into the treasury,far exceed in amount
the sums appropriatbd by Congress for this pnr
pose. A more important result, however, con
sists in the fact that the destruction of onr pub
lic forests by depredation, although each cases
■till occur, has been greatly reduced in extint,
and it is probable that if the present policy is
vigorously pursued and sufficient provision to
that end is made by Congress, such trespasses,
at least those on a large scale, can be entirely
suppressed, except in the Territories where
tim ber for the daily requirements of the popula
tion cannot, under the present state of the law,
be otherwiss obtained. I therefore earnestly in
▼ite the attention of Congress to the recom.

conveying tbe fee, where such lands are princi
pally nimble for the timber thereon, such
sales to be s» regulated ns to conform to domes
tic wants and bminejs requirements, while at
the same time guarding against a sweeping de
struction of the forests. The enactment of such
a taw appears to become a more pressing necei
aity every day.
My recommendations fn former menaces are
renewed in favor of enlarging the facilities of
tbe Department of Agriculture. Agriculture
is tbe leading interest and the permanent in
dustry of our .people. It is to the abundance of
agricultural proauction, as compared with our
home consnmption, and the largely increased
and highly profitable market abroad which we
have enjoyed in recent years, that we ore mainly
indebted for our present prosperity as a people.
We mast look for its continued ma'ntenanci to
the tame substantial resource. There is no
branch of industry in Which labor. dheofed by
scientific knowledge, yields such increased pro
duction in comparison with unskilled labor, and
no branch of the public service to which the en-
coaiagem-nt of appropriations can be more ap
propriately extended. The omission to render
*uch aid is not a wise economy; but, on the con
trery. ucdoubtedly results in losses of immi n-c
sums annually that might be saved through
well directed efforts by the Government to pro-
•note this vital interest.
Tha results already accomplished with tho
very limited meins heretofore placed at the
command of the Department o! Agriculture is
an earnest of whit may be expected with in
crested appropriations for tbe several purposei
indicated in the report:of the Commissioner,
v Itb a view to ptaeing the Department upon a
footing which will cmblo it to prosecute more
effectively the objects tor which itlsestab
■had.
Appropriations are needed for a more com<-
p'ete laboratory, for tho establishment of a vete
rinary division, and a division of forestry, and
lor an increase of force.
The requirements for these and other pur-
poser, indicated in tbe report of the Commis
sioner under the bead of the immediate necessi
ties of the Department, will not involve any ex
penditure of money that the country cannot with
propriety now unaertakein tho interests of agri
culture,
It is gratifying to Ieirn from the Bureiu of

The Joint Commission created bv the act of

supervising and directing the completion of tbe

mission the President i< a iromber, has given
careful attention to this subject, and already

progressed as to insure the entire success of this

has been introduced below the origiral founda

In former messages. Impressed with tho im

the reclamation of the marshes of the Potomac

city, and for tbe repair of the streets of the Cap
ital, heretofore laid with wooden blocks, snd
now by decay rendered almost impassible, and
a source of Imminent danger to the health of its
Citium. The means at the disposal of the Com-
missioners are wholly ina-equate for the ac
complishment of these lmpo.tsrt works, and
should be supplemented by timely appropria

The filling of the flats io front of the city will
add to the adja-eril lands and paiks now owned

progress towards national and imperial
ideas could not be perhaps more strongly
illustrated than by tho following extraol
from tho “Memories” of John Qainoy
Aiams, wtxasain he reports himself as
refusing to cjaatenxnoe the issue or a
proclamation appointing a day of thanks
giving oven for tho Diatriot of Columbia.
How tho old gentloman and his cabinet
would have been 6tarilsd by tho proposi

1825— November IB.—Dr. Laurie, min
ister oE tho Presbyterian ohurch, came
and said there would be this morning a
meeting of clergymen who proposed to
send a committee to me tc request the
appointment of a day of thanksgiving
and prayer in this district (on the 24 :h
of this month). He inquired if I should
have any objection to making the ap
pointment. I said none myself, hut I
would consult the members of the
administration, and answer him to mor
row. 16th—Mr. Laurie’s proposition for
the appointment of a day of thanksgiving
acd prayer within the districts Ail the
members of tbe administration present
were against it; objected to its novelty—
as liable to imputations of political pur

opinions.
The Southern Gbast Bjoai.—The
Philadelphia Inquirer, commenting upon
the late Atlanta Lochrane-Glenn-Bnrke-
Granfc movement, says:
The m03t notioeable thing about it is
that, intangible as it appears to be, it
has eSsoted a most marked cooling off of
the Northern 8talwarte’ boom. The gen
tlemen who were crying oat so vigorously
and strenuously for Grant “as a strong
man,” with a strong iron heel for South
ern use, ere ominously silent at this time,
as if General Grant were not precisely
tbe man they supposed him to be. Part
of this is undoubtedly owing to his Chi
cago speech, in which, With great empha
sis, he deprecated both sectionalism and
partisanism. The stalwarts may rightly
reason that if General Grant is going to
be neither a socticnilist nor a partisan,
he can be of no use to them, or if tbe
South finds in him a mac after its own
heart, he cannot be the man they thonght
him to be.
Verily* tho Presidential oatlonk is
enough at present to puzzle tbs sharpest
even of tbe Inquirer’s own Philadelphia
lawyers. Between hard money and soft
money, the blcody shirt and Southern

ocrat can do, however, is to stand fast,
and keep on guard with burnished weap

to destroy the integrity of the grand or*

Ahxicuj fob Extension.—A promi
nent citizen of Jasper oounty informed
us yesterday that the people on the lice
of tbe projected extension of the Macon
and Brunswick railroad via Monticello
and Covington to Atlanta, were looking
forward with breathless interest to the
day advertised for the lease. We sre
not'surprised at this, as the inhabitants
of the populous and opulent counties
which will b8 permeated by the new read
have long languished for laok of railway
facilities, and the comple’ion of the ex
tension to Covington will open up a n >w
era of prosperity to them.
Their lands must then advance rapidly
io value, immigrants will be attracted to
that desirable portion of the State, and
choice of markets be afforded to all, with
out the present tedious wagon tr&nspor
tation to which they are subjected.
In any and every event, we th<nk tho
lease and extension may be counted on
as oertain, though who the successful
bidders will be ie not so dear. It is ve _
sure, however, that Mr. Stanton’s claim
will amonnt to nothiog, as he cannot sue
tho State, and the Governor has deoided
the case against that gentleman and those
ho represents. He must take his ohar
033 once more in the auction ring.
Bat may we not hope that Macon,
through her enterprising citizens, ns sag
gested yesterday, may yet come to the
front and bear away the prize. It would
redsund to ber material property through
all time to come.
“Toombs ana the Troth.
This ie tbe beading of a letter in (h
Pailadelphia Press of a late date, signed
'A Citizen of Georgia,” which has the
ear marks of Amos T. Akerman, E:q.
The writer begins by 6tyling ‘‘H. W.
GV recent letter to tho Herald as at least
“picturesque,” which is certainly a poor
compliment to one who professes to be a
retailer of news and stubborn facts only,
Ho then goes on to say:
. Tbe peepie of tbo North have not a
>roper conception of tbe character of
tobsrt Toombs. He is a man of mo3t
brilliant intellect;! man ot noble impuisi a,
generous to a fault; a man frank aud out.
ssoken in all things, concealing nothing.
He is the friend of the weak and unpro*
tected, and will succor, befriend and de
fend a “Yankee” (is ail Northern men
are callod in Georgia) as quiokly as ho
will one “native and to tho manner born.”
do not deEire to be understood ai ap
proving all tbe publio utterances of Gen.
fosmbs, as I do not; neither am I a
Democrat; bnt I speak of bis character
and influence in Georgia, as I judge thorn
from my acquaintance with him and cb-
eervance of bis coarse since tbe war.
The writer continues to magnify
Toomb3 and* at the sxms time, be l.ttle
and sneer at the representatives of
Gsorgia in the recent Constitutional Con.
vention. He says:
As to Toomb’s influenoo in that Con -
stitutional Convxu'ion Grady has gotten
the cart before the horse. The facts in
tbe oase are: Toombs had rather up
hill work in the oonvention, having to
make long spseohes and urgent appeals
in order to get his measures seriously
considered until tbe appropriation for the
expenses and per diem of the delegates
became exhausted, and the whole thing
wee about to ooliapsa for the want of
'sinews.” Then Toombs took in tbe
situation aud the oonvention at the same
time. He famished $20,000 with which
to pay the per diem of tbe delegates,
knowing it was a safe investment at seven
percent,and from that time he was,
not merely one of the leading members,
be was the master of the convention; and
light royallv did the old man reign over
his subservient Enbjects. Where hither
to he had been obliged to explain and
plead, now he wonld merely arise and
say, “Ithink this measure is a good
one,” and presto! it was adopted; or *T
like not that,” and it was abandoned, the
author apologizing for having introduced
it.
No man represents the true sentiments
of the masses of the Southern people to
day better than Robert Toomi s, of Geor
gia. When heepeaksin publio it is to
an immense throng, and when he de
livers one of his defiant disunion
speeches the yells of applause that arise
are terrific. The newspapers and politi
cal bummers try to explain away Toombs
and his sulphuric talk, that the Northern
heart may be frc-zin and the Northern
mind deceived, to the end that a Damo
oratio President may be eleoted, and then
.Toombs would be a conservative Union
ist in comparison with them. .
It ia difficult to oonceive of huger and
more unmitigated falsehoods than are
embraced in the foregoing paragraphs
in the letter of this so-called “Georgian."
Of coarse, snoh a mind as Gen. Toombs
poeaeEBes oarried great weighi in the
Oonvention, the more especially as many
of the most conservative features of tbe
new constitution owe their paternity to
him. Bat to say that ha hought up that
eminent body with a paltry advance of
twenty thousand dollars to cover their
pay roll, is an insult of the deepest dye
to the patriotism and intelligence of
Georgia.
The scribbler in the “Press,” when he
declares that “no man represents the trna
sentiments of the masses of the Southern
people to-day better than Robert Toombs,
of Georgia,” shows conclusively that he,
himself, is no true Georgian, bnt an
alien, probably, and one who is Ignorant
of the animus of our people. The genius
and past services ot the General, chal
lenge the admiration of all who know
him; but bis vagaries and extravaganzas
provoke a smile only. Of all the promi*
nent politicians ot tbe Commonwealth,
not one has less influence in shaping pub
lic opinion, than ex-Senator Toombs.
And why? For tbe simple reason that
he has never accepted the situation, does
not admit that he is a citizen of the
United States, and spits upon that Union
whiob the whole Uoatb, yielding to the
arbitrament ot arms,has sworn to uphold
and support.
The evident objsotot the Georgia Rad
ical correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press,Is to sow tbe seeds of discord among
our people. Bat he will find himself
miserably mistaken. Georgia, next fall,
will be more solid than ever for right
acd the constitation of oar fathers.
Gb*nt and Lochbank.—la a very in
tereating letter by Mr. Sidney Herbert
(“Chatham”) in the Savannah Morning
JVeter, from Atlanta, he says:
I have discovered why it i3 that Grant
and Lochrane are coupled for the next
presidential ticket. Grant had a copy of
the Barliogton BawJceye printed on white
satin daring his recent visit there, and
Lochrane had his literary address at tbe
Uaiversity of Georgia printed on white
satin to frame and hang up in bis parlor.
Of oourso, this kind of thing is significant
and all persons who have Imperial aspira
tions or sympathies will endorse Grant
and Lochrane, whose tioketa will be print
ed^on white satin.

the wonderful Clement attachment

in this city, (at so mnoh per line, the Co

of something stronger than mere unselfish

predictions. Both of these “boome” have

The population of Cuba, already mixed
and hibred without parallel, will be in
condition little short of ohaos when the
alaves are all freed. How much better to
oontinae the present system of gradaa
emancipation which, at the same time,
provides for the mil tenance and educa
tion of the yonng, while all the newly
born are free, besides the large nntnbsr
whose service expires annually by limita

A. North Carolina Exodus.
Newspaper quidnuncs have been fall
oE talk lately about a grand eoheme of
tbe Bepublioans to carry the State of In
diana next year by exporting a few ne
gro voters from North Carolina to the
Hoosier State. A press telegram of the
2i instant from Petersburg, printed yes
terday, reads as follows:
Fktxbsbusg, Ya., December 2.—-Throe
hundred cards of wood near Stony creek
station, on the Petersbnrg and Weldon
road, were burned this morning. The
fire also destroyed the railroad for a con
siderable distance, and stopped the pas
sage of trains. The northern bound
mail train from tbe Ssutb, with two Turn
dred colored emigrants from different
sections of North Carolina, en route for
Indiana, dae here at 3:30 p. m„ has not
arrived. Telegraphio communication
with Southern points is cut off. The
damage will be repaired as aoon as pcs-
aible. * , _
This, it seems probable, was the first
shipment in pursuance ot the sohemo.
The first train, containing two hundred
of the unfortunate viotims of party chi
cane and oorruption, was detained by a
railway break; and well wonld it be for
thorn if they oonld ba stopped altogether
Nothing oonld well be more damaging to
the negroes than to lend themselves to
any piece of party villlsny, by whomso
ever projected, xne men who use them
as tools will be sure to throw them aside
when the dirty work is done, while the
whites against whom they are nsed will be
sure to remember tho disservice.
Such an introduction into ft State
offers the worst possible augury for the
future. It givea abundant promise of
“hard timeB and worse a coming.” With
one-half of tbe voter's ashamed of them
as the ignorant tools of a dirty fraud of
whiob they are the disgraced authors, and
the other half abhorring them aa tho
oogged dice in a rasoally game to destroy
responsible government and defraud
them of their political rights, few darkies
ever placed themselves in a more an
promising condition.
Of the probable effect of the movement
on the party fortunes of its projectors,
there will be different opinions. Red hot
partisans acting on the motto that “all is
fair in politios, will predicate entire suo-
cess. Surely a closely balanoed State,
like Indians, can and mast be revolu
tionized by adding ten thousand negro
votes to the Republican column.
This assumption would be justified if
the Republican column was all made op
of tbe kind of partisans who projected
the scheme. But not so. Thousands of
them are honorable and conscientious
men, with comparatively feeble or subor
dinate partisan attachments. Every one
of these who bolts at a manifestly inde
feasible and unpatriotio trick like this
one will probably express tbeir indigna
tion at the palls, and therefore, possibly;
the Radicals may, by this reversal, lose
two white votes for every imported ne
gro.
Moreover, the sohemo will aronse the
warmest indignation of all who do not
ordinarily vote the Radical ticket,
and eo bring out a much fuller opposition
vote. Many a man will become an active
canvasser for the Democrats, whose per
sonal icflaence would otherwise net have
been felt. It ia, in fact, a very dangerous
la ;*'ancf it stiouW fel^re-
membered that in euoh a transaction as
this, the benefit, at beat, can be only
local, while the damage, whatever it may
bs, will be as wide as tho conntry itself.
The whole Republic, not oontrolleJ by
the same unscrupulous partisanship
which planned tho ECbeme, will cry
shame, and every man knows it to be a
shame, whether bo admits the fact or
not. As eerrupt as politics are said to be*
we behove no party oan afford to be
guilty of a clear and nnqaeationable pub
lic wrong.

W»k on tbs ocmnlcee.
Tbe new steam barge, recently built
for the Osmulgee river, has been com
pleted, snd loft HiwkinsviUeon Saturday
afternoon for the mouth of the river, ar
riving at Lumber City on Tuesday morn
ing. She is a well built boat, strong and
seiviceable, and will do good work in
cleaning oat the obstructions, whioh
have for so many years interrupted the
navigation on one of the moat important
streams in our seotion.
The boat is furnished with a compact
and well built engine whioh answers the
donble purpose of operating the ma
chinery necessary for the work for whiob
she was built, and also of sufficient power
to propel tbe boat. This is a decided
improvement upon the barges previously
used for this purpose and will effoot an
important saving of expense.
The work of oleaning out the river is
one of a great importance, not only to
our oi*y, but especially to the whole
country adjacent to the river from hero
to the seaboard, and we hope oar ener
getic immediate Representative in Con
gress will see that tbe neceeeary appro-
pri&tions are made. Colonel Blonnt is
well posted opviu cuts suojeoc, uuS io
fully alive to the interests of his oonstit-
asnts, and we feel confident will use ev
ery proper effort to this end. He has
already done much to advanoe the mate
rial interests Georgia. The first woik
for the new boat will be to remove tbe
obstructions wbich interrupt the passage
of timber rafts during periods of low
water, and we learn that Captain Locke*
who ia in local obarge, has been especi
ally inslrnoied upon this point by his su
perior offioer. Mr. Looke is a skillful
engineer* and will no doubt do his work
well. The timber trade is one of tbe
most important industries to the section
of the State along tbe river, and we hope
soon to see an uninterrupted passage
from the upper river to Darien. The ap-
propriations, however, are email, and
much work ia needed, and we must have
patience. It will be done in time.
Homicide in Dublin.
The news of the death of Mr. Adrian
Corbett, a son ot Colonel E. C. Corbett,
of this city, reached Macon yesterday
morning, and soon spread throughout the

Laurens oounty, on Taesday afternoon
It seems that in the tosm there had been
a diffioulty between the Marshal and two
brothers, in whioh the Marshal was d
oomfitted. Later in tho day Mr. C- rbett
and Mr. Freeman Meore met and a diffi
cully ensued, whioh resulted fatally for
the former.
The accounts which have reached
differ widely in certain particulars’: They
agree however, partially, that the two
men met in a oertain business house
Dublin, and that Moore seemed (o be tbe
aggressor. A quairel ensued, anl Mr.
Corbett drew bis pistol.
One version of the affair is that Mr.
Corbett, at the request of Moore, put
aside his pistol, and the two men
bad a hand to hand struggle,
whioh Moore got the best
his antagonist, and throwing bim upon
the floor shot him through the heart,
killing him instantly.

The affair is ceitainly very unfortu
nate. The deceased leaves a family.
Colonel Corbett, aocompanied by sev
eral members of bis family, left yester
day morning for Dublin, to be present
the funeral. He osrtaiuly has the sym
pathy of all in bis affliction, this being
the third son be has lost in the past

Breakdowns on the Avenue.
Yesterday on Cotton Avenue two wag

There was quite a levee held at the

was a great auocass, notwithstanding tbe
rain. The armory was orowded and all
enjoyed the occasion vary mnoh.
Professor Kessler’s band furnished the

The other military companies of the

not only a success in the way of enjoy
mont, but also in a financial point of
view.

Si e the reoent sales of real estate on

will show very evident appreciation.
