SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN. FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 29. 1865. mm MTOMBAN SAVANNAH: FRIDAY MORNING) SEPT. 20. Our Ogeechee Correspondence* Editor Rbpcblicak .—Believing that many of the readers of the Republican are very naturally a little inornduloue as to the feasibility and success of Free Labor, I herewith append a hurried and very brief sketch of the progress and oondilion of the Freedmen in this District, be lieving that the facts herein stated will prove what can be done if proper efforts are made to make free labor a perfect success and remunera. tive. On the 11th of March last, I, under orders of Brevet Major General R; Saxton, and instruc tions of Capt. A. P. Ketchum, A. D. C., oame to Ogeechee, with the following gentlemen : Edgar j Wildman, of Danbury, Conn.; Lt. John J. Miller, j Jelloway, 0.; F. W. Forney, jr., of Chronicle ; Office, Washington, D. C.; E. R Collins and W. ! King, of Savannah; Thomas Drew, Editor Mass. Plowman, Boston, and Edward Welch, Hillsdale, Mich.; who remained with me a few days, and as- possiMr. The Richmond Bulletin, speaking of Stonewall Jackson, says: “Possibly a prejudice may exist in their minds (those sisted in organisation, of loval people) against General Jackson I The people were gathered at Grove -a prejudice growing out of the fact that he drew the sword m the late war against Hill, the United States.” Well, yes, we should think it not un likely. . We aro not inclined to think as well of General Stonewall Jackson, for , instance, as of our dead McPherson, or , Mitchell, or Wadsworth, or Kearny, or j Reno, or Reynolds, or Rice, or Lill, or j Mansfield, or Lyons—any one of them is | his superior in the manliness of charac-1 acter. Indeed, we are so “prejudiced” 1 that we value more highly the memory j whic hold and to i represent their respective neighborhood, and bo a Cabinet of Advisers with the General Superinten dent. Then each plantation furnished its quota of men to form the Ogeechee Home Guard, which was duly organized by Lt. Miller, with the wise appointment of Wm. Joiner as Captain. Since then the Guard has performed military sen tinel and police duty with general good behavior. Some guerrillas have been chased but no actual battles fought. The people have, almost universally, been in dustrious, orderly, and religiously devotional, having regular prayer and praise meetings in the several neighborhoods every evening, and twice of the lowest private, who died under the i on the s a bbath, besides preaching by the Super- flag cf the Union, than we do that of a \ jntendent and visiting colored preachers, man who, educated at his country’s ex-I If corn at.d rice could have been provided as pense used the training he thus received ! seed, much more would have been raised than has in a vain attempt to humiliate the flag j been; but. as it is, on the tenpfantations compri- lich he had sworn to honor and up . j sicg Ogeechee D.str.ct proper, there have been 260 acres of corn, Ac., and l,o9U acres of rice, well cultivated, which are now being harvested. The other plantations have been occupied mostly by refugees that came alter seed time, and therefore could not do as well; but, altogether, IS aores of cotton, 883 of corn, and 1,700 of rice, have been certainly, perhaps more, cultivated, During the Summer the people have beeu ra tioned by the Government, but the District is now mostly self-supporting and will soon be en tirely so. In the School there has been some need of the rod, to preserve order, but generally the scholars have been well behaved, quick, progressive pu pils. If we had had more means, wo might have ' Kiad more suocess. We hope for much better things hereafter. There is a very ardent desire on the part of the people to learn to read, which I snppose will be'embodied insuocvssful effort after the harvest is disposod of. There have been some cases of Police discip line; the penalties being fines, payable in har vest, to go. into the common treasury to meet District expenses; also confinement in a level ground, lighted cellar, under Grove Hill man sion, deliverance from which has invariably been accompanied with confession of wrong, and promise of future good conduct. It has been ne cessary to banish two wrong doers, but the whip, or stocks, or anything of such kind, has not been found necessary. In the forepart of the season there was much of a dropsical disease prevalent, especially on the Heywood Plantation—similar, but somewhat greater, in extent to visitations of former years— but as soon as rations were regularly issued the weather became drier, and the minds of the people confident of protection ai d provision, the disease abated, and since then notwithstanding the prevalence of at least four hundred cases of small pox, of which there were but two fatal cases, there haTe been very few deaths ; and during September, the proverbially sickly month, there has been remarkable exemption. The peo ple, not being driven by master or overseer, go to their work early and gladly, and the body shares in the healtbfulness of the mind. What will be in the future, we know not; whether the hitherto considered "abandonaC plantations will be restored to their former own ers, or such be set apart for the use of the colored people. But if Uhcle Sam will give the colored people of Ogeechee District a fair chance, as will doubtless be the case, they will give a good ac count of themselves, and aid in proving the I reedmen’s Movement a glorious triumph.— They are, in my opinion, well capable of having farms of their own, or of working, as this sum mer, in concert on rice plantation. They are mex with strong hands, industrious habits, warm, affectionate hearts and quick and sensible minds. W. H. T. General Superintendent. Ogeechee District, Chatham Co. Ga., Sept. 28. hold, and to destroy the country to which he had sworn to bear faithful alle - giance. If men are to be honored for the possession of energy alone, of course Jackson will be highly esteemed; but if the use they have made of their energy is to be inquired into, then Jackson will get admiration, but not esteem. Bene dict Arnold was one of the ablest and bravest generals on our side in the revo lutionary war, but all his genius and bravery have not sufficed to con quer the “prejudice” which men have against turn-coats and traitors, IWorkingmen, Attention !>!

Errata.—Oar typos inadvertently made us reduce the freight capacity ol the staunch steam er Wm. H. Gibbons, in our article of yesterday morning, from 1,000 bales of cotton to 100, which is decidedly “a horse of another color.” The Gibbons will carry 1,000 bales of cotton in ‘‘dpublo quick lime” between Savannah and Au gusta, and her enterprising agents will see that freight is promptly and carefully transported, while the officers of the W. H. G. are all gentle men that have a peculiar weakness for making all passengers feel an fait. Index to New Advertisements. & Co., 03 See advertisement of Geo. Demerit Broadway, New York.

At a meeting of the Georgia Union Club, I held on", the 27th instant, in Sa vannah, it was unanimously Resolved, That we cordially endorse the nomination made at a meeting of Loyal Citizens on the 20th inst., at which meet ing L, S. Bennett, Dr. F. Y. Clark and A. W. Stone were nominated as candi dates from Chatham county to the Geor gia State Convention, to be held in Mil- ledge ville the 4 th Wednesday in October next. That^ve know the nominees tc be, and ever have been, true and loyal to the Government of the United States, and entitled to the support of all true friends of the Administration ; and we take this occasion to say, that by “Unconditional Union men” we mean those who have ever been opposed to secession and the destruction of the government, under any pretext whatever, and who from choice—not compulsion—are friends of the government. That we ’are not in fa vor of negro suffrage, as has been falsely charged upon us by small-minded politi cal tricksters for political effect, and that we know that the candidates above named, one and all, are opposed to it upon prin ciple, Resolved, That we endorse the policy of the present administration upon the subject" of the right of suffrage to the colored man.

Excellent !—Why my dear fello* that s no name for such ham as you ate at my table this morning, even though I assert it myself. After being obliged to dine on such inferior and scanty food as our market supplied us with during the war, it is really refreshing to be able to purchase such superior Pig Hams as those I bought at Sherwood’s on Bboughton street, under St. Andrew’s Hall. sept 28—2 WEDDING, VISITING AND BUSINESS CARDS of the latest and mdst fashionable de signs, printed in tbe very best style, and at mod- srate prices, at the REUBLICAN JOB PRINT, ING OFFICE, Bay street, ,tf (JOMMERMAL INTELLIGENCE. Charleston Narket. Charleston, Sept. 23. The receipts of Cotton at this port still continue very limited, and most of it passes througo with out sale. There has been received here, from tbe 14th to the 20tb inst., both inclusive, nftv bales of Sea Island and fourteen hundred and twenty-tbiee bales of Upland Cotton. Owing to the improvement in tbe Liverpool market, the price here fias generally advanced, and yesterday good middling Cotton was sold at 38 cents.— Holders of the article are very firm. Several small lots of Sea Island and Masha have been sold at 70@95 cents, as in quality.’ We quote Uplands: Middlings S6 cents. Strict Middlings 87 cents. Good Middling 88 cents. Rice.—There has been no receipts or sales of this article. We quote $11 a lt 50. Natal Stores.—Some four hundred bbls of Rosin have been received during the week, and a few hundred Dbls have been sold, at $11 for No 1, $8 for No 2, and 16 for No 3. Corn.—About four thousand bushels, princi pally from Baltimore, baa come to hand, and sales have taken place at $1 40 per bushel. Oats.—Some three thousand bushels of this grain has come to hand. We quote from 60 a 70 cents, as iD quality. Flour.—The stock of Northern and Western is fair, but the market is inactive. Super may be quoted at $10 00 and Extra $11 00. No South era on the market except a small lot of Mary land, which bas not been offered. Freights are dull. There is a bark loading for Liverpool at for Upland and 1 j/d for Sea Island Steamers to New York are asking $4 per bale, for all bales of 400 pounds and over, and lc per lb for all under that weight. Sailing vessels to New York are askirg %c per lb. Macau Market. Macon, Ga., Sept. 23,1865. Cotton.—There has been a decidedly better feeling in tbe cotton market this week, than for a month past, and dealers tell us that if it were not for tbe restrictions upon (the transactions in cot ton, consequent upon tl.e endeavors of the gov eminent to secure all that bad been subscribed to tbe Confederate cotton loan, and all in the hands of parties against whom the late C. S. gov ernment bad claims which have not been settled, there would probably br more life and vigor in the market for some time than was usual before this staple was closed to the trade by the opera tions of the war. Purchasers are plentiful, when it is made clear that a lot is free from the re strictions ; and doubtless as high as thirty-two cents could be obtained for a tine middling lot thus clear. The highest figures we have beard of lor the week, is 80 cents. Tbe standard or average price brought during the week may be quoted at an advance of one cent on last week twenty-aine cents. We beard of but one small sple at less than this. Holders do not evince much disposition to sell at present ruling figures —doubtless on account of the steady advance in the prices of all cotton fabrics in the northern markets. The amount brought in from the country was uot as large as last week, nor bas quite so much been shipped down the river ; but larger quantities were shipped by latlroad - by way of Atlanta and Augusta—than for two or three weeks. Two or three extensive lots have been brought up tue Southwestern road, and are being stored by the parties shipping them to this point. Eufanla Market: Kufagla Sept. 21 Owing to the inclemency of the weather very little cotton bas been received this week. All that is offered for sale is taken freely at prices ranging Irom 20 to 32c, in greenbacks; 18 to20c in gold. River in good boating order.
