A walk in the moonlight lias pleasures I own, But it isn’t quite safe to be walking alone ; So I take a lad’s arm- just for safety, you know, But Aunt Tabitha tells me they didn’t do so.

Leaving Milledgeville on the evening of the 4th, we came to our house, the Brown House at Macon, intending to take the night train over the Macon and Brunswick Railroad to Brunswick. But the night train goes only to Jessup, making connex ion there with trains on the Atlantic and Gulf Road. We left Macon about 8 a m. on Tuesday, and came through to Brunswick, having a pleasant journey in an elegant ‘coach’ and with an agreeable ‘assortment’ of passengers. We reached the city of Brunswick about 10 o'clock, p. m. Last year the coast steamers bound southward from Havmnah passed Bruns wick on Tuesday nights. We found to our dismay that the ‘schedule’ (how variable and tormenting to travelers these same schedules all over the earth !) had been changed—boats passing Brunswick going southward on the nights of Monday, Thursday and Friday. After coasting along the border of Brunswick Bay an hour in vain pursuit of knowledge on the subject, we ascertained these facts. We give them to your readers free of charge, al though they were ascertained by us at the expense of time and trouble. These boats leave Savannah on the days mentioned. The Brunswickersseem much depressed, as we ascertained by a sojourn among them for two days. The Kimball failure, af fecting the Btunswick and Albany R. If. and leaving unpaid thousands of debts due from the said Road to everybody in Brunswick, was a severe blow. 'I his, and ‘hard-times’ generally, bear heavily on the young city. But passenger and freight trains run through daily on the unfortunate road: the Macon and Brunswick R. R. is doing a large business : the saw-mills of the city are busy, and we never saw be- fore in Brunswick harbor so many vessels discharging and receiving cargoes. A number of new buildings are going up. We think the depression will soon pass away, notwithstanding we encountered mauy people who put on airs counterfeit ing ‘the blues.’ We found the air salu brious ; the fish and oysters of the best quality; and the whole young city, em bowered in live oak trees, looking decided ly lovely. Even Smith, the editorial moil arch of The Appeal affected melancholy, and talked of ‘hard times.” But he look ed well-fed and we are sure it was all af fectation. The Lizzie Baker came at midnight on Thursday night, and brought us hither in five hours. In one respect Brunswick Joe* need improvement. Passengers awaiting the arrival of boats in cold weather, suffer. Our shelter in the warehouse protected us from rain ; but the air was “eager and nip ping” (to borrow an expression from Ham let) and we were chilled to the bone. There European aud American Jostumes. THE CONTRAST. How shocked would those ladies of our ‘first society’ be, if they knew that the torturing and ill-formed shoes on whose stilt-like heels they tilt and suffer.no Par is shopkeeper would ever offer to a lady. For more than two years American wo man, especially young girls, have walked the public streets, with conspicuous chains and lockets, or Mounting bows of ribbon, attracting the attention of every passing gazer, solacing themselves by the thought that it was “perfectly French.” If so, it was a costume which no French lady would wear on the public pavement. The dress of the French lady is artistic, simple, fault less—faultless often because it is simplic ity itself. She may wear brilliant colors in her drawing room, and in her carriage, never on the street. When she walks she wears black or gray, and it never drags on the ground. When she goes to church, she wears the same colors—is always at tired in the simplest manner. This is true also of Italy. In the Sis* tine chapel, Rome, no lady can enter un less attired in black, with no covering on her head but a veil of the same hue What a contrast to the church attire of American women. They are acousloined to think of themselves as perfect saints compared with Italian and French women, yet they enter the house of God as the}’ would a theater. They don their gayest plumage, hang on all their chains and' lockets, take off their kid gloves to show their diamond rings in the sacred temple just as in the Academy of Music. Worse, they stare and comment on each other’s costumes, and absolutely make the church of worship a place in which to study the fashions. The same lack of fitness in dress is seen in the utter disregard to age, as well as occasions, in the adaptations of dress. The ‘woman of 30 or 40 may be as beautiful as a woman of 20, by her own right, if there’s no incongruity be tween her years aud her attire. It is only when the woman of forty dresses like the girl of twenty that she looks absurd. A French married lady nev er wears a round hat; an English lady only iu traveling ; an English maiden never at church. Yet everywhere American mat rons with faces lined and scarred, may be seen with staring jockeys, set on tbeir gray beads like helmets, beflowered aud befeathered, and more fantastic titan the ones worn by their little daughters of ten. Flannel, and linen, aud muslin are worthy of their princes and princesses abroad, but are by no means fine enough for the little princes and princesses American. All of which is not French, though to be “per fectly French” has been the alpha and omega of our alphabet iu dress. 1HE COLORED .HK.V1KKK. Milledgeville Manufacturing Co COTTON A.

They charge enongh fare to enable them to do that much for travel ers. A good small hotel, on the French plan, near the wharves at which these steamers touch, would pay well in Bruns wick, there being none near enough for convenience. We find St. Mary’s prospering more ra pidly perhaps than Brunswick. Quite a number of new houses have been erected within the present year. The fact that the St. Mary’s and Western R. R. is in pro gress of actual construction is attracting business men hither, and stimulating im provement. Mr. W. T. Spencer has an elegant new hotel thronged with guests. It was opened with fitting ceremonies, and a grand ball, on the 1st of January last. Many Northern people are sojourn ing here, where the climate certainly is de lightful. There is no better location for obtaining abundance of the best fish and oysters at the lowest prices. These arti cles of diet abound on the Spencer-House table. The number of vessels in the Har bor, greater than usual, shows the activity of the commercial business. We go into the interior in a day or two—shall write again from this region. W. G. M. Woman Suffrage.—The following proposed amendment to the Constitution was introduced in the House on the 11th, by Mr. Jones, delegate from Wyoming Territory : ‘Article 10—Section 1. The House of Representatives shall be composed of mem bers chosen every second year by the peo ple of the several States and Territories of the United States, and hereafter each of the organized Territories of the United States shall be entitled to one Represen tative in the House of Representatives, who shall be entitled to all the privileges and powers enjoyed by members from the several States. Section 2. No distinction in the qualifi cation of electors in the States or Territo ries shall hereafter be made on account of The bill was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The Great Red River Raft.—Ev erybody has heard of the Red River Raft, and that it is a vast mass ot drift- wood, completely obstructing naviga tion at the point where it covers the water with its countless trunks of forest trees. The river passes under this mass as if it were a bridge. In 1833, when the raft was one hundred and twenty four miles long, the general government began the work of removing it; but after workihg at it for twenty-two years, abandoned the attempt as im practicable, and confined its efforts to the opening of some of the lateral chan nels or bayous. The most curious characteristic of this gnat raft is that it moves up the river against the cur rent, instead of down. This rnove- The election was over in the flat, sunstrock, dumb-aguish, creek-gashed, bay-intented parish of Alligatorville, and our fellow mac aud brother Pompey Howard had carried the day by exactly the majority which his backers had bet on. It does not require much practice with the double barrelled phrases of the English language to hit the idea that onr fellow man and brother was that kind of human comrade and fraternal relative which the Indo European inhabitants of Alli gatorville delighted to honor with the title of “nig ger.” In complexion, he favored the ace of spades,and was not to be put to the blush by the ace of clubs. There was no more prospect of his hair getting out of curl, than there was of its tnrning into feathers or goldthread or pointc appliquee. The bridge of his nose was so far front being an eleva tion, and was on the contrary such an indisputa ble, monotonous, aud even grovelling depression that you could only consider it a bridge by sup posing that it had broken down .and gone to rain His lips projecte J to that degree that he might al most have used them as feelers in the daik.oras buffers to deaden a collision ; while it was possi ble to imagine a manikin naturalist as standing upon them quite at his ease, and measuring with a half-inch pole the breadth of the nostrils above. His jaws were so huge, protuberant and powerful, that a Darwinian might be excused from inferring from them that he belonged to a race which not very long since got its living by cracking cocoa nuts and marrow bones with its teeth. This man aud brother had been a slave ; he was descended from men and brethren who had for two hnudred years been slaves in a land of stran gers ; he was further descended from men aud brethren who for thousands of years had been slaves, savages, idolators and cannibals on their own native soil. Since the hoariest cycle com memorated by history, there bad not been a year when somebody was not “gettingafter” these men and brethren, hunting them for the artless pleas ure of killing them, making them work when they didn’t want to, and for purposes which were not to their profit, taking their wages out of their hands and their bread out of their moutiis. tattoo* mg* their hacks with cat-o -nine-tails, and their | shins with boot tees, and in short, giving them a hard, moan, d graded life of it. On Egyptian granite, and in Greek and Roman marbles and Venetian canvases, and in more modern picture' books, their wooly heads and proguat ous jaws and cocumber shins had been painted and sculp tured and printed in every attitude and action ex pressive of subjugation, servility, paltrootiery itelpU ssness aud ridiculousness. At last a benero cut and sagacious bird called the American eagle, moved to headloug compas *ion by the conscience and other circumstances over which he had no control, resolved to repay Pompey Howard in one lump for all these insults and injuries to himself and his forefathers. It said to him in substance : “You never struck 9 blow for liberty,and nevertheless you shall have Yon are as ignorant, as heavy brained, and as morally degraded as the vulgarest peasant of the oldest despotism of Europe : nevertheless you shall be a citizen of a great and proud republic, which depends tor its strength and honor upon the in telligence and virtue of its citizens. You never governed eveu yourself, and have not the slight est knowledge of statesmanship, nor a conception of right or wrong iu politics : nevertheless I con stitute you an elector, with the possibility of being a junor, a dignitary in the commonwealth, an exe cutor of justice, and a lawgiver.” Having decreed thus much, this most ingenious aud far-sighted of all fowls that roost on stars, with coats of arm around their necks, sailed cheer fully away from the man and brother, leaving him to his own devices Immediately on the departure of the eagle, or whatever posterity may discover him to have been, a carpet-bagger sidled up to the new-born elector, and with that guileless smile which Satan wore when he blarnied Eve, whispered to him : “O man and brother, run for office and support my little bill, aud you shall have mo>e money than you can get by hoeing.” Accordingly Pompey Howard, witli ths carpet bagger's guiding fingers on his uncertain nose, haJ run w ith all his cucumber legs for the position of representative from Alligatorville, and, thanks to the votes of other men and brethreu just as tit tor political power hs himself, thanks also to the professor of ballot box legerdemain who counted those votes, had come out ahead of all competors. The first impulse of the new flegel legislator was to shake haiuis with half a h. ndred or so ot ragged adherents, aud his next to start for his cabin, four miles up the spungy and reedy banks of Aiiigator Creek, with a view to supper. In the outskirts of the crowd of electors he met his father, commonly known for the last sixty years or so, as Uncle Toby, a white headed shrunken, twisted, and wonderfully wrinkled little man and broth, r, who barely kept himself from dropping upon all fours by holding on with both hands to a long stick, and who consequently resembled the oraug-outang which one discovers in unbelievable illustrations of natural histories. “Hullo, daddy !” shouted Representative How" ard. “Where was you in the votin’? I spected to s. e you thar a puttin’ in your ticket for me." “An’ so I did put it in," squeaked Uncle Toby, with such a grin on his wizened face, as you may seo any day through the bars of a monkey cage - — “I stuck it in the hole in the Poetoffice. Some hoys told me that was the place.” “Them boys !" exclaimed the colored member indignantly. “Now that ain’t fair. They jus' been and come it on the old man. Now that tick et oughter count all the same.” “Certainly, Mr. Howard,” put in a smiling, lurking, corpulent gentleman, dressed in frayed and greasy black broadcloth, and adorned with suspiciously ostentatious jewelry, who was no other titan the advisatory carpet bagger, Mr. Jack Hunt. Mr. Jack Hunt, a late convert from New Yotk city democracy, who had come South to make use of the man and brother as the monkey made use of the cat.had no more appearance of being horn a fool than Pompey Howard had of being a born sage. He possessed about au ounce more of nose, a couple of pounds more of brains, and a pound or so less of chops than tha newly e ected lawgiv er. In other respects his appearance was not to his advantage, being obviously that of a slimy and impudent scoundrel. ‘Certainly that vote must be counted,” went on Mr. Jack Hunt, in a lubricating voice, fat and warm to sickishness, like machine grease. “We will have it with the others, and let it go to help the good cause. Heavens and earth ! a vote cast iu good faith like that !—of course it must count. But allow me to ask. who is your venerable iriend ?” “Who ?—him?” grinned Pompey Howard, who h id never before heard his father called venerable friend, nor seen bowed to by white folks. “That's my ole daddy.” ”l)e—lighted—ed !” smiled Mr. Jack Hunt seizing and shaking a withered paw which looked ns if it might have done its chief earthly work in the way of climbing trees aud hanging on to branches. “Y'ery glad to meet you, Mr. Howard- I had noticed you frequently before, and wonder merit is very slow, being but a mile or two in a year. Tile explanation ot j ed who you could be. It gives me great pleasure tliis retrograde progression of an ap-1 10llearn that you are the father of oar distinguish What it is to be a Widow. “I think it must be a jolly thing to be a young widow ! ’ I heard this lemark the other day, in a group of laughing girls 1 think I remem her saying such a thing myself in my girlish times. Do you know' girls, what it is to be widow? It is to be ten times more open to comment aud crit icism than any demoiselle could possibly be. It is to have men to gaze as you pass, first at your black dress and then at your widow’s cap, until your sensitive nerves quiver under the infliction. It is to have oue ill natured person say, ‘I wonder how long she will wait belore she marries again? aud another answer, ‘Until she gets a good chance, I suppose’” It is now and then to meet the glance of real sympathy gen erally, from the poorest and humblest wo man that you meet, and feel your eyes fili at the token, so rare it is, alas ! iniiooked for. It is to have your dear fashionable friends console you, ^after the following fashion: “Oh well! it is a dreadful loss. We knew you’d feel it,dear,"and in the next breath, “You will be sure to marry again, and your widow’s cap is very becoming to you.” But it is more than this to be a widow. It is to miss the strong arm you have leaned upon, the true faith you knew could never fail you, though all the world might forsake you. It is to miss the dear voice that uttered your name with a ten derness that none other could give it. It is to hear no more the well known foot steps that you flew so gladly once to meet. To see no more the face that to your ador ing eyes seemed as the face of the angels ed representative.” By w*y of answer to this speech, Uncle Toby went off into a series of asthmatic ctinckliugs and sniggerings, which ended in such a coughing and spasmodic vvriggling, that it seemed as if he would disgorge, shake out, and give up whatever ghost there might be iu the mummy which served him for a body. “Y'is. I in his daddy,” he said, when k e had re covered such gift of speech as he possessed, a gift the more easily lost perhaps because his race had not had it very many centuries, aud because he had been so unfortunately situated in life as not to make much intelligent use of it. “But my name ain’t Howaid,” he added, with another chuckle, which was evidently almost too much for such a creature in a semi embalmed con dition. ‘Tse ole Toby Beaumont. Raised by the Beaumonts of Hartland, don’ you see ? Uoo! dey was quality Pomp yere, he was raised by the Howards. I’m Beaumont, an’ he’s Howard. Dat’s de way it is ” Then backing off from Jack Hunt with several “curchying” bows, Uncle Toby turned to one of his ancient chrouies and muttered scornfully:— “Dat’s a mighty ignorum man. ’Pears like be don’ know quality folks, nor don know nothin' rightly.” , t. ,i c , • i i Obviously he had the contempt for common- pounds ot potash, one ounce ot Strich- \ p] ace white people that a rich mans dig has for nine, mixed with soft water.’ It was j beggars. Obviously also betook next to no in- +l,io -hsorl.d nnf oaxr tereet in his son’s election as representative, and according to this cheerful, not to say | had not the sligl)test idea that Pompey owed him an atom of filial reverence. “dome along Pomp—time to be gettin' up the crick,” put in Caesar Delaunay, a colored neigh bor of the colored member. “No; no,” objected Mr. Carpot-bagger Hunt, who had by no meaus finished bis manipulations of Alligatorville’s favorite son. “Don’t go home now, Mr, Howard, Come along to the tavern and take a drink over it. I want to say something more about that little bill of mine ” he whispered “Lord bless you, man, you are a public character now. Business firet, and pleasure afterwards.— Come aloug." It was noticeable that, in talking to his Tel- emachus alone, this carpet-bagging Mentor drop ped the lubricating tone which he used in the hearing of the electors, and assumed an air which was half hail fellow and half dictatorial, notun like of a jolly policeman in communing with a pickpocket Not a little against his will, our representative man and brother followed his overbearing friend to the Alligatorville Hotel, drank under his be- parent'y stationary mass is simple enough. The logs, at the lower end of the raft, are continually broken a- way and carried off by the currents, while tresh drift-wood is brought down, and added to the upper end by fresh ets. Thus, the raft, always falling away at one end, and growing at the other, gradually moves up the river, and it is calculated that it has moved since its first forming about four hun dred miles. Scientific writers have suggested the idea that this vast mass of timber, after lying in the old bed of the river for quite a number of ages, will become a great coal-bed. But it seems it don’t lay there, and their science is at fault. Ten gallons of kerosene, three convivial formula that a quantity of ‘whisky’ seized last week in Newton, Massachusetts, was compounded, the recipe also been found in possession of the unfortunate dealer. If you want ‘gin,’ add quantum stiffcit of oil juniper! The mystery is that men who drink this diabolical fluid do not drop down stone dead at once- — — ■ — I do in my conscience believe that intoxicating stimulants have sunk into perdition more men and women than found a grave in that deluge which swept over the highest hill-tops, en gulfing the world ot W’hich but eight were saved.—Rev. Dr. Guthrie' nign influence a bot’le or bo of bad spirits said and repeated snd swore that he worid infallibly vote for his pet enactment, received as earnest of sewards of virtue to come, a five dollar greenback, and was put to bed for the night on a settee in a state cf immoral insensibility. Awakening in due time from his slumber, and successively awakened in due time from other similar slumbers, he at last awoke on the day when he must join his brother legislators. Not having done a lick ef work since fame had mark ed him for her own, and.being censequen ly as des titute of cash to travel with, as his old woman and pickaninnies were ef cash to stay at home with, he was forced to get his hat checked through to the State capital at the expense of Carpet-bagger Hunt, thereby putting himself under another obli gation to go fsr that gentleman’s little bill. “But how's I to know when your business is comiu on?” he inquired of his banker and advi sor, as they smoked together in the second class car. “Oh. I'll be on hand,” promised the member of the lobby. “I’ll give you a poke when it is up.— All you've got to do. is to s.ng out Aye.” “I s'pose it’s all right, Mr. Hunt ?” queried Pompey, who judged, from what he had learned of his friend's ways that there was a “mighty smart chance” of its being all wrong. “Right ? of course its right,” asseverated the carpet bagging one, opening his eves wide with amazement at the question. “Hain’t you had your five dollars, and more too ?” “Oh, yis, I’ve done had it aud done gone spent it,” assented Pomp gloomily. “But what I mean is, there ain’t nothin wrong in it—in de bill ?’’ ‘Certainly there ain’t" declared Jack Hunt, with the glibness which is a well-known charac teristic of modesty and virtue—gone to the devil- “There’s nothing to get you in jail,” he continued not in the least suspecting ttiat a nigger could have the slightest spice of of conscience. “Don’t you he afraid, Pomp. Even if there was any thing, it’s none of your business That's the Gov ernor’s lookout. It's his affair to see what's wrong and to veto it.” “ Telo it ?’ puzzed tha lawgiver ‘‘Yes, veto it ; stamp on it ; that is his little biz ” ‘Oh, that’s his biz,” answered Pomp much re lieved. “Yes. You go on and vote for what you want; vote for all the party measures aud all your friends' measures; vote just as our set of fellows tell you. It any thing is wrong, the Governor sees to it ” Thus educated up to the duties aud responaibii- i ies of au American legislator—educated, w. fear as a great number of our legislators are, ail over this laud of intelligence aud freedom—Pompey Howard arrived in the capital of the State which he served aud honored- Mr. Jack Hunt, or rather, we might appropri ately say, Mr. Beezlebub Hunt took lodgings for his ame damnee in an unpaiuted slice of a wooden house which looked as if it had been shaved off from son e larger building, aDd which bad been cut so inconveniently tniu that the stairs leading to the second story was necessarily on the outside.— Imagination could not picture a staircase in that representative mansion without also picturing its rooms as being hung out of the windows like bird cages. The apartment allotted to the member from Al- ligatorville had no lock on the door, as being just the residence for a legislator whose breeches pock ets were no temptation to sneak thieves, and whose baggage went iuto a cotton handkerchief without crowding. It had no curtain and no blind* to its single window, which in fact admitted so l.ttle light as not to need those obstructions, having been made apparently for one of the pala ces of Lilliput. Its floor was just as naked as it had been born, possessing not even a figleaf of a rug to hide its indecency The only articles of furniture were a cot bed, a pine washstaud, a rock ing chair with a crick in the back, and a seven- by nine looking glass which made Pompey s face twice as broad as it was long. Yet such had been the humility of his previous belongings, and so magnificently did this wretched cell compare with his rotten log cabin on Alligator Creek, that it seemed to him as if he were entering iuto the abodes of luxury. “There you are !” said Jack Hunt, grinning at the lawgiver s obvious awe of tt:e neuralgic rock ing chair ; “I go security for you, and you settle out of your salary, when you get it. The room on the front is the den ot Father Abel. Know the old cock ?” Pompey, with some vague idea that he was in paradisical scenes, and that Adam aud Eve, aud perhaps an angel or so, would soon appear to him, “allowed” that h- did not know Father Abel. “ ’Daddy Abel,’ they generally call him,” ex plained Jack Hunt “He's one ot your big guns among de culiud breddreu,” he continued with a Bowery imitation of the negro dialect. “You'll buck against him some morning, and you'd better cotton to him. He's one of my particular buin- rneis, and he won’t let the silver-grays pull the wool over your eyes. Besides, he’ll show you tho way to take the gospel ship for the port of Zion,” he added, with a chuckle, ns if tha voyage in ques tion wete the most ridiculous adventure imagina ble. -‘Now to come back to business, you’ll want some money for your feed, and I’ll put up ten dol lars more on you, and you can pay me when you can. That makes fifty so far, don't it ? To-mor row night I’ll light on you, and take you to the Governor's reception. Ho gives a big blow-out for the members. On, don’t you look scared. It's a free lunch for all, white, and colored, and semi- colorad, and demi-semi-colored ; aud all you’ve got to do there is to do just what you want to do. eat, drink, smoke, and he sweet on the ladies — The Governor pays, and the secret service fund pays the Governor, and everybody that votes is welcome to all he can use.” With these instruction* and encouragements, exit Jack Hunt, whistliug “Jordan am a hard road to trabble, I believe.” CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK . The Ssslh—The Hope sf the Natissi. No one who lias given much attention to the pres ent condition and future prospects of the Southern States can for a moment doubt that a brilliant career lies before them. Modern explorations, aided by the printing press, have given us a very complete cursory survey of the entire surface ot the globe, and we new have a clear general idea of the physical adaptation of the different portions of the earth’s surface to the necessities of the highest civilization And in what ever aspect the question he viewed, whether as to the extent of sea coast and its proper indentation for har bors, its variety ot climate aud soil, its fertility aud adaptability to different cultures, the length of its navi gable rivers, its contiguity to the oceanic influences of winds and curreuts, its natural productions aud capa bilities both in the animal and vegetable kingooms, its inexhaustible supplies of the mineral sources of ot wealth and advancement iu civilization, the sec tion of the Uuited States included under the geograph ical designation of the -Southern .States stands pre eminent aud uuapproached by any equal exteut of land iu the world. Aud while this is strikingly true of the general physical structure of that section, it is no less remarkable that in the wouderlu) dealings of God with the uations that this glorious heritage for the incoming populations of other less favored and overcrowded countries lias been seemingly held in re serve, out I such time as it suited ills omnipotent will m the further development of His plans towards the euildren ot men, and 1ms been prepared for their coming by a people who have been educated to be come a nucleus of a higher, purer, nobler and more elevated civilization than the world lias yet seen. YVe believe it with the fervid earnestness of our very souls, lienee, it will come to pass that these Southern States wil be more gradually, but thus more effect ually populated than any oilier sections of our country, and that as a rule the class of people who will make homes iu the South will be superior to that of newly- populated territory. None of that class of adventurers which marks the character of our Western frontiers will seek to make homes in the South, and the utter complete failure of the despicable and contemptible attempts of politics 1 carpet-baggers to obtain any status for any length ot time, whether political or so cial, shows that in this statement we kuow the truth aud strength of our estimate of Southern character. In further confirmation of this view, we call atten- tiou to the almost unanimous sentiment of the South ern people, wherever expressed, as opposed to the in discriminate peopling of their States by the riff raff and paupers ot oilier countries, and the earnest de mand for men, either of large or small means, who know how and are williug to work, to become proprie tors of the soil, and by their skill to assist in the devel opment of the country. To all such a large-hearted welcome will be extended. But such people, as we kuow, ure not of the class of adventurers who crowd our shores by thousands, in every emigrant vessel, although many such are amongst them We have seen the workings of this eurious problem just long enough to know that the South need not fear any sudden and overpowering flood of foreigners.— They will not even find it necessary to take any steps to keep them away. On the contrary, we believe that all the efforts of private and publie immigration movement* will he needed to promote the best interest of the South in this direction. The machinery in operation for disposing of this dan gerous eiemeut of foreign emigration is amply suffi cieut. Western railroad and land companies are tak ing care of them. Let the South now take the proper steps to get the better and more desiiahle class of foreigners. It can be done. It is in harmony with what we believe the wishes of the Southern people and the desigus of Providence. ReaJ, if you please, the article we publish to-day from the American Set tler, a journal jnst begun iu London. We can not ignore that presentation of the subject These preju dices exist. They are facts. They have to be over come. That requires effort But when made, the class of people who will be the most likely to have such prejudices removed are the very oues the South ern people would most gladly welcome aud who would be most in harmony with themselves. We would have the South act wisely but promptly and energetically. We would have it see the danger of delay and the advantage of iostaut action. These are the days ot action. They are uot for sluggards, and it God iu HU great goodness has given us of the South to be the future hope of the nations, he as surely requires that we give a proper stewardship of the momentous trust,— l hs South. CARL SCIH RZ S LAST WORDS IX THE ARMS DERATE. In closing the debate on the sale of arms to the Freuch, in the Senate, Senator Schurz, replying to Mr. Fre- linghuysen, said: And now sir, I shall not imitate the example of others in going over the whole political field. I may express my opinions upon several subjects that have beeu discussed here upon another and more fitting occasion. The Sen ator from New Jersey yesterday closed his speech with a somewhat high-flown eulogy on the President—a eulogy which, let me say, we heard yester day from his lips by no means the first time. I find no fault with him, fori suppose his lips are merely run ning over with what his heart is so full of. He must pardon me if I cannot share in the gushing fervor of his wor ship. I believe, when all the stock of panegyric is exhausted, that then the people of the United States are still entitled to ask some questions - I re member the time, and it was at the very commencement of my senatorial career, when we discussed here the repeal of the tenure of-oflice law, and when Mr. Fessenden, whose name and memory we all revere, made a remark which went straight to my heart; for the edification of the Senate permit me to read it. He said: “I think the day lias gone by when with good taste we here in the Senate— men of some consequence, represen ting States of this Union, considering ourselves great men nour way—should think it necessary to be continually slobbering the President, and talking about his victories and his battles, and all that sort of thing. Sir, he has ceased to be a general, in the ordinary sence of the word; he is nothing now hut President of the United States.” And whatever you may say of Will iam Pitt Fessenden, all of us who knew him will admit that he was a man. The Senator from New Jersey also alluded very touchingly to the men on the farms and in the work shops, how they would cast aside the report of these debates, and say “What of itV we know the great warrior who saved us at Vicksburg and Richmond, and in him our faith will remain fixed.” Sir let me tell the Senator that the men on the farms and in the workshops are freemen, and have the intelligence and pride ot freemen. They see no man so high above them that they would bow their heads to the dust. They are gratelul for the capture of Vicksburg and for the victory at Richmond; but they also know that Vicksburg is no longer to be captured, and that no hostile army, entrenched around Richmond, is now' to be bea ten. They know that what the coun try now stauds most in need of, is free, honest and pure government, If the Senator from New Jersey is ready to appeal to the people, so, sir, am I. CALL AND SEE US ! C.

Savannah, Ga., March 6,1872. Editor Morning News : The letter ot your correspondent, “Poyntz,”in yesterday’s issue,being calculated to create doubts in the minds of those uot intimately acquainted with the subject of foreigu labor, 1 beg leave to say that the whole success depends upon a care ful selection in the lRbor market of Europe, which, as every inarkat is subject to fluctuation and changes. Au agent must ba thoroughly con versant with those changes to guard against the selection of inferior peisons. It was to guard agaiuft these evils that the Company, of which j am the foregin agent, associated with its operations the feature ofpsupplying skilled and reliable la bor upon passage-money advances—the only way to obtain such persous iu the incipient stages ot im migration to our country. Should a liberal policy be followed by our cities and rural communities, the results will be very great ; aud we will have iu a few years the begin ning of a laige anl spontaneous immigration.— Moreover, tnis policy is at present the only means by which we may have a line of steamers running regularly between Savannah aud some European port during the winter months. Is’it impossible fot Savannah to get out, say two hundred domes tics, etc-, i y fall and to guarantee a return freight of cotton ? If that be possible it will not be diffi cult to have a line laid on. In conclusion, I would furthermore submit to Mr. Poyntz, that in some of the cases cited the employer may have been as much to blame as the empmye, at least such has been our experience.— In our part of Georgia the Swedes are doing ad mirably. I am, reapectfnlly, Your obedient servant, Frank Schai.ler, Foreign Agent Cotton States Land aud Immi gration Company of Athens, Georgia. How Kraut Deals With Public Wroaii, How earneat ana desirous President Grant is to reform abuses perpetrated by his special appointees, is evidenced by the following paragiaph from the New York Tribune: “Mr. A. T. Stewart told President Grant of the exactions of his protoge, Leet, more than eighteen mouths ago; the report of a committee, alter secret investigation, confirmed the merchant’s statement lully a year ago; a second investigation, open and public, at which our first tnerchan’s fieely testified, has made the fact notorious to the country, yet the only actions ordered by the President are the remodeling of tile General Order business, with Leet Sl Co. -til! retained iu infamous power, and tile prose cution ot the merchants who testified against them. There is certainly much that is mortifying iu this con trast. Tnere is a world of truth in tins brief extract, and coming as it does from au authoritative Republi can source it is eutilled to calm and thoughtful con sideration. Tho shameful developments resulting from the Congressional investigation of the charges preferred against the New York Custom-honse offi cials, would have compelled any other administration than Grant’s to have taken the matter iu baud, and summarily disposed of the scoundrels by whom tire merchants of that city have been so unmercifully fleeced. Hut confiding in the good nature of the people, the powers that be, at Washington, have al lowed matters to take their own course, regardless alike to the appeals and protests of the injured par ties. Hut this state of things eamiot last; the patience of the people, long since well-nigh exhausted, will even tually give way, and the retribution will commence The dark d ysettliis corrupt dynasty cannot be far dis tant, or we sadly mistake the spirit of the American people There is a limit to every thing save eternity, aud there must necessarily be a limit to the forbear ance of the people of tliis Country. The bounds have been almost reached, and such investigations as those of the New York Custom House General Order busi ness, that of the sale of arms now u ider discussion by the United States Senate, and he developments of election frauds, such os are being made iu this city, iu the McClure-Gray contested election case, will bring the people still nearer to their eutruncliisemeut.

Furthermore, he adds this proposition which few sen sible nieu will dispute: “A party which proscribes aud subordinates intelli gence, property, aud character, and enfranchises ig norance for political power, is not Republican.” We agree to that.
