In an article a few days since, on the sub
ject of freedmen, we took occasion to.differ from
tbe extreme views presented, by men and
parties in different section of tbe country, and
iu tbe concluding paragraph asserted that this
knotty matter will be favorably solved, if
we will all do our duty.
But wl at is our duty 1 Amid all the confu
sion and chaos resulting from the destiuction
of social systems and the desolation of war,
amid almost universal prostration and ims
poverishment, what, doesjit behoove us to do
and wbat is tbe path of duty ? While special
applications must be adapted to individual
oases according to the circumstances, tbe gen
eral outlines and dictates of duty are manifest
and cast a cheering liopn-light through the
midnight of confusion. We desiro to con
etaid that in a plain and practical manner.
In the first place, it is our plain duty to go
to work, and work with a will. Not tbe far
mer only, nor the merchant, nor the mechans
ic, but all should place their shouldiers to
tbe wheel, and make a united and simultane
ous effort. We must not preach work to the
freedmen, and do none ourselves, declaring
that without the labor of the farmer tbe
country will not revive. It is folly to sit
down and dream that tbe old days ot
ease and plenty will return, while we fail to
put our bands to the plough. Too many of
our young men are striving to engage in any
business, however petty, if it will but save
them from a little manual labor. Let the far
mer cease his lamentations over tbe loss of
bis negro, and with bis children and such
laborers as may be had, upturn his own
fields; and let all, who have been heretofore
accustomed to dictate work to others, banish
useless repining and do the work themselves.
Let lamentation and repining be expelled
fiom every house, and let cheerfulness settle
down upon every hearth. Day after day we
bear people bewailing the past and distrust
ing tbe future! Away with d spondency,
and put on a bright face. Let us be manly,
let us stand up like men. If we do this, the
future will grow brighter.
Secondly, it is our duty to strive earnestly
and zealously to do everything that has a
tendency to accomplish a full restoration ot
civil authority.
In conversation and in action, let ns devote
ourselves to the prime object. When our
convention meets it should act promptly and
wisely, eschewing all issues upon questions
which have been settled by war ; and if any
should dare to resurrect these issues from
their graves, the anathemas of the people
should be burled against them for such a sui
cidal course. Let us satisfy President John
son that we are in earnest in our efforts to
telain our old status, and honest in our
words and conduct! He has given us every
possible evidence that on our so doing, he
will labor to reinstate us witbeut delay. Let
us in every way possible evince the honesty
of our pnrpose, and establish a due sense of
that honor, which we fervently claim to pos
ses. Let us give no occasion for the North
to doubt onr sincerity, in order that sectional
feeling may be allayed, and a spirit of toler
ation be cultivated.
And in regard to tbe freedman. Let all the
p>eple rise above petty animosities toward
him, and not visit upon him any malediction
or bitterness of feeling, because of his chang.
ed condition. Let us look with pity and not
with anger upon bis bewildered conduct and
bis absurd appreciation of his new privileges.
Wiser people than he would “ent some fantas
tic tricks," if freedom were so suddenly thrust
upon them. Let us be patient with him, and
by degrees, aided by his gradual experience,
and by tbe operation of law teach him his du
ties in bis new relations. Too many of us err
in treating tbe negro harshly. He acts fool
ishly, it is true; but we should remember
what be is. It is but tbe dictate of wisdom,
that our statesman should be casting about
fur laws and systems of management and
government, that will tbe most rapidly and
m ist readily adapt tbe negro to bis new con
dition, and make him a good laborer and a
profitable member of society. Let us bear
with all possible patience our present incon
veniences and troubles, and strive to inaugu
rate, though the process be slow, a new order
of things.
It seems to us, that each are tbe plain out
-1 nes of our duty. Let us ponder in our minds
wuat will be most conducive to our future in
terwts and especially to our speedy restora
tion to the immunities and privileges of a co-,
equal state in the Union, and pursue with en
ergy and cheerfulness that course, which seems
luust likely to accomplish this result.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Commercial from Washington says tbe order
I aplished in tbe morning papers announcing
tbe mustering out a large number of Maj r an 1
Bridadit r Generals, is pronounced by tbe War
Department to be bogus. No such order baa
been isrued, though it has been in contempts,
tion to issue such an order for some time
T-.e bogus order musters out Generals wl o

duties.
A singular judicial case was recently
tried st the Assize Court of the Var, in
France. A young man named Casrmilau,
was accused of obtaining complete control of
a young girl by means of magne ism, and
used it to her ruin. He boasted of bis power
to the Court, and offered to magnatize the
j residing Judge. The jury gave tbe youth
twelve years at hard labor.

AKOTIIEU VOICE FOR MIC. STKPII
BNS.
Tbe Louisville Journal in a sensible editori
al on Mr. Stephens say ‘A Washington dispatch
announces that er H. Stephens is to be
released, by order of the President, fr< m im
prisonment at Fortress Warren and peimined
to return to Georgia. We hope that this an
nouncement will prove true. Mr. Stephens
stands first among all the men ot tho South
whose influence, at tins time, would be potent
for good in the great woik ot restoring the
Federal relations < t the late rebellious States.
Sot n afier the war had ended, he avowed his
purpose to devote his energies to the cause of
reunion, and we then earnestly desired that the
authorities ut Washington would allow him,
upon a renewal of his allegiance to the Gov
ernment, to procee l uninteri uptedly in that
career of usefulness which, we weie confident,
lay before him iu his native State.
The circumstances under which Mr. Stepnens
idem fled himself with the rebellion, and his
well-known conservatism while acting as Vice
President ot the Southern Confederacy, would
render his position a powerful one in favor of
peaceful, b« artfelt restoration. When the
sto in ot revolution broke upon the South, be
clearly fortold its desolating effects and urged
the peop eof Georgia t maintain their loyally
to the Union. Weie Mr. Stephens now iu bis
native State he could rise before tbe people,
and, pointing back to bis prophesies in 1860—61
be might trace their perfect fulfillment iu the
great events which have since occurred, and
then, with the voice Ot magic eloquence wth
which be Is gifted, he could arouse throughout
the Slate an enduring sentiment of love for the
nation.
Throughout the war nobody doubted that
the heart ot Alex. Stephens was true to ihe
Union. His name was fctlie cyro-'ure of hope
and cor fiienee among loyal men throughout
the South, assured as they were, that, when the
bat'les should all be fought, he would resume
his old position as a leading advocate of the
Union. Had tbe time spent by Mr. Stephets
iu a cell at Fortress Warren been used by b m
iu the work of restoration in Georgia, the
cause of peace and reconciliation thrpughout
tbe South would be advanced far beyond its
present point; and we te.ven ly bipe that a
few days only will elapse before we can an
nounce that he has goue back to bis h< me as a
pacificator between tbe sections. In that ca
pacity the nation can derive from bim incalcu
-1 ble advantage, but Irom bis tint er imprison
ment no benefit whatever can be gained.
GROSS OUTRAGES.
We learn that a day or two s nee a band of
lawless individuals made an attack on the
premises of a gentleman living near Carters
ville, injuring him and bis property to a con
siderable extent. Tbe facts becoming known
in Cartersville a party was made up to go in
pursuit of the outlaws. They were found and
a conflict ensued which resulted in the kill
ing of four of tbe scoundrels and mortally
wounding one of the party in pursuit.
We regret exceedingly being called on to
chronicle this the first thing that smacks of
guerrilla warfare in North -Georgia. Affairs
in that section, and, in fact, all other sections
of the State, have been progressing so quietly
since the close of tbe war that we bad begun
to feel confident that we should be cursed
with no such outrages. It is mortifying to all
peace -loving men to have this damper cast up
on their labors for tbe restoration of civil law.
We hope prompt measures will be taken to
suppress the band entirely. For all who are
so lost to the manifest interest of the State as
to try to inaugurate a guerrilla warfare there
is but one proper punishment—they should
b» bung as soon as caught, like any highway
robber.
We trust the law-abiding citizens will aid
tbe authorities to the full extent of their pow
ers in bringing all such offenders to justice.
French newspapers attribute to the
neglect of the sanitary bureau the few cases of
cholera which have made their appearance at
Marseilles. It appears that tbe municipality
of that city have allowed passengers going
from Alexandria to land without submi'ting
them to quatantine. Le Nord says that Euro
pean, it not Asiatic cholera, rages with a cer
tain severity in certain parts of London, and
that a few cases have been discovered in the
Faubourg Montmartie at Haris.
K3L. A telegram from President Johnson to
Governor Sharkey, gives the assurance to the
people of Mississippi that the habeas corpus
will be restored, and the Federal troops with
drawn as soon as such action on the part of
the Government is considered safe. . The
Preident also expresses the hope that the ex
ample of the Htate of Mississippi will be fol
lowed by tbe other Southern States.
Tne Ciucinuati Gazette’s Indianapolis
dispatch says : ‘‘Hancock county held a Un
ion Convention yesterday, and passed a reso
lution against suffrage. As this is the initial
county Convention of tbe State, this may be
taken as an index of tbe position of the party
in this State upon that question. Hon. Da
vid L Gooding made a stirring address.”
In digging about the foundations of
tbe Church of Bosham, an old Saxon edifice
iu West Sussex, England, the workmen re
cently came upon a stone coffin, which, it
was ascertaired, contained the ashes of the
youthful daughter of the old Dauish King
Canute.
BsaJ- Bull Hun Russel’s diary of the laying

tion.

From tho Nashville Press and Timos.
Tile Latest from Mexico.
Nkw Yoiik, Aug. 29.-Tbe Tribune's Browns
ville, Texas, correspondent of Aug. sth says :
This evening Senator Robbs, Mexican Minis
ter, came over tbe river on a visit and was re
ceived by General Steele, who gave his diss
tinguishod visiter a quiet dinner at tho Miller
Hotel. Among the guests were Generals
Weitzel and Draper. After n pleasant repast,
at which friendly sentiments were exchanged,
the party broke up, and Senator Robbs re
crossed tbe river. Seno Romero and General
Ortego are said to be on their way here and are
looked for daily. Tbe visit of these two dis
tinguished Liberals seems to point to some
thing about to bo done on the Rio Grande.—
All quiet along the river at present.
The Herald’s Vera Cruz correspondent of
the 12th Inst., says, on the 26tb of last month
the town of Fongoless declared itself in favor
of the Republic.
It is the chief town of one of tbe most popu
lar districts of Vera Cruz This district lies
adjacent to Oriziba, and extends to the foot
of the Sierra Nevada, which slopes to the
coast south of this place, tbe whole section a >
far as Jabata being devoted to the Republican
cause, and commanded by Gen. Garcia. Five
hundred men armed with good rifles are main
taining the independence of Zongolias, which
is too difficult of access to be easily conquer
ed. A force of 200 Austrians, who recently
marched from Oriziba with the intention of
whipping the insurrectionists, fell into an am
bush on tbe road and were forced to take to
flight, leaving 30 dead on the field. A few
days since the Austrians met with another re
verse north of Puebla, in which, according to
the City of Mexico papers’ account, one com
pany of Infantry and 50 dragoons fell victims
to the ferocity of the Republicans. A peru
sal of tbe newspapers of this country will show
that in addition to the executions decreed by
the court-martial, encounters are constantly
taking place between the Imperialists and Re
publicans, in which the losses in killed range
from 20 to 100 or more on each side.
Government Finances Ea.yi
Washington, Aug. 29.—We learn authorita
tively that tbe Government’s financial condi
tion is easy, and that the Secretary of the
Treasury will be enabled to meet all demands
with the means he has at his command. No
statement of the public debt will be made on
the first of September, nor will there be a
statement hereafter oftener than once in two
months; so the next statement of the public
debt will appear on the Ist of October ensu
ing.
Investigations just disclosed show that
sharpers have swindled the soldiers terribly
in discounting their claims. One of them
alone must have made §40,000.
Mail Conneetlou with China.
Postmaster-General Dennison has to-day
accepted the proposition of the Pacific Mail
Steam Company, Allen McLean, President,
for tbe mail contract between San Francisco
and 2,Cbina, via Honolulu and Sandwich Is
lands, authorized by an act of Congress ap
proved February 17tb, 1865. The tender of
the Pacifiic Mail Company was the only one
offered. For tbe service thereof the compen
sation is §500,000 per annum, for the perfor
mance of twelve round trips between San
Francisco ai d Hong Kong, touching at Hon
olulu und Sandwich Islands, and Kanagawa,
in Japan- Tbe company are to build for the
service four first class American sidewheel
Bt> amers, from 3,500 to 4,000 tons burthen
each. Each vessel is to be constructed of
the best material, and after the most approved
model, with all the modern improvements
adapted to sea-going steamers of the first
class.
The first steamer will leave San Francisco
with the mails for Japan and China on or be
fore the first of January, 1867, and the term
of contract to be ten years from date of the
sailing ot the first steamer from that port.

Failure of tlie Cotton Crops.
Memphis, Aug. 20 —The cotton crops will

REMARKABLE STORY OF A. NEGRO-
HIS INTERVIEW WITH LE’ GREENBACKS.”
The correspondent <4 the Cincinnati G zette,
“Agate,” who accompanied Judge Chase in his
recent tour, describes graphically tn old negro
whom the party found ai K-y West:
‘ Presently there came hurrying up a stalwart
negro, with the pbys que ot a prize fighter;
body round as a barrel, arms knotted with mus
cles that might have belonged to a race-horse’s
leg, chest broad and deep, with room inside for
tbe play ot an ox’s lung. So magnificent a phy
sical development I have never seei, before or
since. The bead was laige, but the btoad lore
head was very low. Above if*'rose the crisp,
grizzled wool, almost perpendicularly for a
height quite as great as that ut the <xp sedpart
of the toreheiid ; and tbe bumps above tbe ears
and at the back of tbe head were ot a corres
ponding magugude. The face was num stakably
Alrican- glossy black, with widely-distended
nostrils, thick lips, and a i quid but gleaming
eye. Tills was Larnite nimseil an old man
“now in my sebeuty tree yeah, sub,” be said
himselt -yet the strongest mau on the island,
the richest of tbe negroes, tbe best lai met* aere,
and witb a history as romantic as that ot any
Indian whom soag and story have combined to
make famous.
He was a native of Maryland; bad bought
himselt for three thousand two hundred dollars
from his mister, and ba-.l ea ned and paid over
tbe money ; bad removnl to Florida, and been
engaged at woik on a railroad, where be had
already accumulated what lor b m was a hand
some competence, when Ins little bous ■ bu ned
down and bis free papers were lost in ti e fie.
A gang of unprincipled v igubonds at once de
termined, there being no accessible evidence of
his freedom to be produced against them, to
seize him, sell him in the New Orleans market
and pocket the proceeds He frustrated their
attempt by whipping tie whole party of six ;
then hearing that they were to De remlorced
and were to try ii agiin, be delibeta ely pro
ceeded to tbe public square, accompanied by
bis wife, cut tbe leaders ut his ankle-joint,
plunged a kuite into the hip-joint on the other
side, ami then sinking down a wheel-barrow,
finished the work by chopping < ff with a hatchet
the fingers of his left baud! Meanwhile, an
awe-struck crowd ot white men gathered round,
bus made no attempt at mlerli-renoe. Finally,
brandishing the bloody kittle, Landie shouted
to the crowd that if they peisisted in their rffort
to sell a free man into slavery after he bad
once, at an extortionate price, bought himself
out of it, his right arm was yet strong, and he
had one blow rtßerv>d, after which they were
welcome to sell him lor whatever be would
bring.
“That the essentials of this story are true,
there is unquestionable evidence. The fingers
on bis left band are mutilated, and the scats on
tbe hip and ankle are still fearfully distinct
while besides there are still white eye witmssess
to testily to the main la t-.
“Landie’s powerful constitution brought him
through ; be was confined to bed six mouths;
then he began to hobble about a little, and at
the end oi the year was again able to support
himselt.
“Heshowid us through wbat be proudly
called his plantation. Rqe sapadilios bung
from the trees ; and a particularly large ‘sour
sop’ was pointed out a- specially intended for
our dinner. He bad a little patch of tobacco ;
green cocoanuts rested at lhe tops of the palm
like stems ; and tamarinds were ahum a it ; tbe
African cayenne pepper berry was ba. giug on
little busines, and one or two of the party who
bad been promiscuously experimenting on
Landie’s fruit came to grief «vb<-u they reached
it, aud were beard complaining that their
mouths were a fire.’ I’luckiug two or three
little berries of another kind. Landie handed
them to the Cbiet Justice- ‘Take dam home
aud plant em in you garden, and you’ll hab
you own coffee aitah while.’ ‘But coffee won’t
grow, Landie, where I live.” ‘‘Don’t know
