SAVANNAH DAILY REPUBLICAN. FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 29. 1865.

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.

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 !>!
Look to your own interests and vote the true
blue Union tieket for the Convention. The
Candidates are not in favor of negro or uni
versal suffrage. Don’t be deceived by the
false reports circulated by your enemies for the
sake of securing your votes. See the Union
resolutions in another column.
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.

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. '
Resolved, That these proceedings he
published in the Savannah Republican

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

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. Freight
to Apalachicola by steamboats, $5. ’ Boxes offer
ing to take at $4.
Wilmington Market.
* Wilmington, Sept. 22.
Naval Stores—Crude Turpentine still contin
ues to come in—5S3 bbls sold to-day a t $3 50.-
Market dull. There are no transactions in Spirits
Turpentine. 100 bbls good Common Rosin
strained, were sold at $4 50. Tar is unchanged,
witb gales of a small lot at former quotations
