x < —The Lancaster (Pa.) Intelligencer, of
Wednesday, in noticing the glorious victory
. Democracy of that gallant city on the
previous day, says: “It is, in nil respects, the
'•-eatest victory ever achieved by the
nomocracy of Lancaster, and will have a
mVt salutary and beneficial effect upon the

unionist, and traitor, Tlmddcus Stevens, has

The editor gives the following significant
notice: “We have been requested by the

i account for the expenditure of the

Slovens and negro suffrage at tho municipal
election of yesterday.
House Tihvks.—These graceless villains,
wiio are giving the country so much trouble,
are receiving the particular attention of the
Legislature of this State. The bill to punish
the offense of horse-stealing with death, has
passed one house, a reconsideration refused,
ami will probably meet the sanction of the
oilier. In that event, we hope the Governor
will give the measure his approval. Ilorsc
stealing has become n great evil in the land,
and exemplary punishment must be iuflictcd
to put it down. Two or three hangings would
effretually put a stop to it, and the hill should
pass into a law if only to be kept on the
-tattHc book for a twelve-month.
Tbk Oldest Man Yet.—The Portage
|\Vis.l Register announces the death of Joseph
Crele, the aged veteran of one hundred nnd
forty-one years, which occurred on the 27th
of January, after a brief illness, at the resi
dence of his grnnd-daugliter, Mrs. Brisbois,
in Caledonia, about four miles from Portage.
During the past year .Mr. Crele obtained a
world-wide notoriety through the newspa
pers on account of bis extreme longevity.—
He was born near the city of Detroit, in the
rear 172o, as shown by the records of the
Catholic Church of that city, nnd wfts probn
blv tho oldest man in the world.

lrff“ It is not generally known that the
tear 1803 was favored with jifty three Sun
days—the first nnd last days being a Sabbath.
It will be quite a number of years before the
same circumstance occurs.
Importance ok Order in Mexico.—The
Richmond Dispatch very truly says that the
return of Juarez to power would only plunge
Mexico into new nnnrchy, nnd destroy the
trade which is now slowly reviving. The
United States is much more interested in the
new stimulus of commerce which would be
given by the establishment of order in Mexi
co than in the Monroe doctrine. Is it not
better that the great wealth of that country
>hould l>c developed and rendered tributary
to our prosperity than that, by the assertion
of tho Monroe doctrine, we should give it
over to perpetual impoverishment ? What
have we hero to dread from the little Empire
of Maximilian i But abstractions may, and
probably will, in tlic end, prevail over com
mon sense, A dead political dogma will be
rai-ed from tho grave, and hugged to our
hearts with more ardor than n life-giving
Empire.
HT" It 1ms been noticed as a curious astro
nomical fact that in January there were two
full moons, in February there will be none,
and in March two. It occasionally happens
that there are two full moons in one and the
same months; for as the time between one
lull moon and tho other one next following is
shorter than the length of the time ot the
different months of the year, with the excep
tion of that of February, such an event must
occur as often as n full moon happens to be
in the begining ol n month, at such a mo
ment that there is time enough left for the
moon to repeat her course of twenty-nine
days, twelve hours, forty-four minutes and
three seconds in the same month. But that
a certain full moon or full moons repeat at
the same day and at the same moment is a
rare occurrence. They will be repeated in
the course oi time, but never witnessed a sec
end time by mortal men.
Affairs on the Rio Grande.—The New
Orleans Picounc of Saturday, says: We had
the pleasure yesterday of meeting with Maj
IV eitzel, late in command ot the Rio Grande
frontier, who, having been mustered out of
the service, was a few hours in the city on his
**y 1° his Ohio home. We learned from his
•'psa confirmation of the account that the
rapture of Bagdad was a filibustering ex
pedition, which took all parties not on tho
scent by surprise, on. both sides of tho river;
*md that it had its origin more in private
rapidity than from any political considera-
iion. The state of the border now is quiet,
and no alarm need bo felt for tho interrup
tion of that State by anything more than an
occasional petty affair, such as would neces
sarily arise where such an extensive line—be
ing only a fordable river—is guarded by an
inadequate military force.
The instructions of the Government, to ob
serve and cnforco the moat absolute neutral
ity. are precise and positive.
FOREIGN' LABORERS—DUTY TO
OER FORMER SLAVES.
The most careless observer of passing events
cannot have failed to notice that a settled,
systematic purpose exists to supplant the ne
gro labor of the South with that of the for
eign immigrant. Of this fact doubt can no
longer exist Companies have been formed,
with large capitals, in various sections of the
country, especially at the North, and their
agents arc now traveling over this country
and Europe for the purpose of effecting an
entire change in the' labor of the Sonth.—
Private individuals—Southern land owners
—are also engaged in the work on their own
account, and in some instances the laborers
have already been imported and put to work
on the plantation*. These planters lost con
fidence in effective voluntary labor on the
part of the negro, or, on a short trial, found
it entirely unreliable; hence they resorted to
the importation of white laborers aa a matter
of self-protection. All that are impressed
with the same conviction, will eventually fol
low their example; and just here comes up
a question of vital import to the colored race
of the South, and one which they must de
cide for themselves. The matt >r is very much
in their own hands, and if they fail to ap
preciate their critical condition, an I to take
the only steps that can ward off such a fate,
they must make up their minds'to go by the
board. We warn them in time of the desti
ny that awaits them in the event of their
Blothfulncss.
But our object at this time is to discuss
not so so much the duty of tliecolorcd race
to themselves, as that of their former mas
ters in the future regulation oftheir labor.
Whatever may be the eventual fate of the
negro in the order of Providence, we main
tain, that, situated as he is under the policy
of the government, both duty and humanity,
demand that his former master should stand
by him os long us he is true to himself; nay
more, that all due allowance should be made
tor his short-comings, and every effort used
to incite him to industry and fidelity. He is
by nature weak, and should not be held to a
too strict account. Wc have borne with his
failings in the past, and can extend him a
kind indulgence in the future. He is now
wholly dependent upon us, for Govern
ment could not give him labor or befriend
him if it would. The Freedmen’s Bureau is
a temporary expedient, to bridge over the ir
regularities incident to a sudden change from
slavery to freedom, nnd must soon give way
before the demands of imperative economy.
One of two things the people of the South
must do: wc must either work the negro or
support him in a state of idleness. Apart
from the obligation resting upon us by reas
on of his fidelity and valuable service in the
pnst, it is our jtolicy to retain him in our scr-
ice os long as lie is willing to remain and by
faithful labor justify us in maintaining a busi
ness association with him. We owe this much
to the black man, nnd nothing but his own
improper conduct can forfeit the claim.—
Taken as a whole, there is much in tlicir past,
and especially their recent history, that gives
them peculiar claims on our protection
and patronage. Their personal devotion
nnd faithful attention to our interests
during the war, when temptations as
sailed them on every side, confounded
our enemies and even surprised ourselves.
No attempt at revolt, no assumption of righfs
incompatible with their condition, and not
more than the usual amount of lawlessness
and inattention to duty characterized their
conduct in a civil war waged ostensibly for
their freedom. It is a marvel in the world’s
history, and speaks as eloquently for the slave
tion, and man’s brutal scoundrelism—while
the worship of mammon in every department
and vocation of life, seems to have swallowed
up every other worship, and to have expell
ed all other reverence except that slavish sub
serviency paid to the favored ones of his dev
otees.
This is the enlightened, civilized, Chris
tianized States of the North. And in the
South, though chastised, not chastened,
though cast down from our high eyrie of
proud self-reliance, as were scarcely ever be
fore abased any people, not humbled before
God—bow is it ? Wc much fear that wc arc
not profiting, as a pious people should profit
by the severe experience through which we
have passed. It is much to be feared that
the Babylonish example of our Northern
brethren engages our observation as an al-
lnrement, rathcr than a warning. With
thousands, and tens of thousands of them, it
is not so; but the eager desire for wealth, the
yearning for pleasure foregone during the
war, the contempt for the simple, honest, old
fashioned moral rules of life which so dis
tinguished tlic enterprising people who over
whelmed them, is yet strong within many
other thousands; who are more likely to
catch and spread the infection, than to resist
and curb its ravages.
As a nation we nre becoming 6trong, power-
lul, rich—a mighty influence in the world’s
affairs; but to the mind of the Christian pa
triot it is by no means certain that wo are
advancing in that “righteousness which cx-
altcth a nation.” God grant that these indi
cations of national immortality may proveto
be the subsiding turbidness of a recent state
ot civil commotion, rather than the pois
oning of the fountain head of the national
character.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS.
ELoqiKKCE Extraordinary.—Tho Mont-
gomeiy Mail says that one of the poetical
members of the Alabama Legislature, in a de
pute on the stay law, a few days since, was
happily delivered of the annexed eloquent
Peroration :
i ?J r ' Speaker : Is there a man, woman or
c| »m witliin the sound of my voice, who is
unwilling to save to our people the pittance
I property left them ? If such there be, sir,
e should 8° down to posterity, unwept, un-
nonorwi and unsung. He is unfit to tread
e soil of the free and tlip brave. A man,
suvwho would maliciously, and in cool blood,
kti^f pnopln « not fit to live. He
onto be kicked to death by a jackass, and
1 o hke to do it”
as it docs in support of the humanity of his
Southern master. These facts should never
fail to impress the minds of the Southern
people. They create an obligation to the
negro thnt can only be discharged by a
friendly regard for bis welfare in this serious
crisis of bis history.
We are told that the German ports are
crowded with immigrants ready and anxious
to set sail for their promised Eldorado in the
Southern States of the Union. It was in that
country that tho North found its best friends
in the late wur. It bought their bonds when
nobody else would have them, and recruited
their armies by”tens of thousands. No doubt
the pledge was given thnt slavery should be
abolished and the fields of the South turned
over to German laborers, who now come for
ward and demand a fulfillment of the bar
gain. Wc would not be understood os op
posing the immigration to our shores of the
sturdy, industrious laborers of the Old World.
Let them come, settle qur waste lands, and
supply vacant places in the field of labor;
but wc insist that the faithful negro shall not
be discarded and turned out to starve in or
der to make room for these foreign adven
turers.
NATIONAL MORA LITV.
Nations, no more than individuals, says tho
Memphis Appeal, and we adopt its excellent
sentiments—can escape tho penalties which
are suspended over breaches of the moral
law. There it, above us, a Power which rules
and governs the destinies of men aggregated
in communities, os well as the destiny of the
individual man. Leaving out of view, in
both cases, mooted questions of special or
general Providences, it is indubitable that
violations of what the experience and the
educated conscience of mankind recognize as
Moral Law, are ever attended, sooner or later,
with retributive punishment It is so alike
with individuals and with nations; and al
though with the last named it may often seem
slow in its coming, it is not the loss sure and
inevitable:

But grinds exceeding strong;"
SENATE.
Washington, Feb. 13.—Mr. Morgan of
New York, presented the credentials of Mr.
Lewis E. Parsons, Senator elect from Ala
bama.
Mr. Morgan said as the State of Alabama,
is one of the States that during the period of
four year has been in rebellion against the
United States, and ns Congress has not de
termined whether tho political condition of
that State is such us to entitle the State to
lepresontation in the Senate, I do not expect
that Gov. Parsons will be requested to come
forward and take tlic oath at this time, and I
will ask that his credentials be received and
laid upon the table, to await tlic further ac
tion of tlie Senate. It was so ordered.
Several petitions tor an equalization of
bounties and increase of the duty on in
spected goods were presented and referred.—
Several petitions for equal, civil and political
rights were offered and referred.
Mr. Wade, cf Ohio, offering the petition of
colored soldiers, asking for the right of suf-
frage.
Mr. Saulsbury observed that the Senate and
country were very familiar with the word
“colored,” as applied to the negro race, he
would like to know what authority there was
for the use of that word. The only place he
had ever seen it so applied was in the history
of St. Domingo, there it was to denote the
mulattoes.
Mr. Fessenden, from the Committee on Re
construction, reported a joint resolution to
amend the Constitution, with a constitution
al article as follows:
“Congress shall have the power to make all
laws nccessrry and proper to secure to the cit
izens of each State the privileges nnd immu
nities of citizens of the several States, and all
persons of the several States equal protection
in tlic lights ot life, liberty and property.”
The resolution was ordered printed.
Mr. Brown offered a resolution, which was
adopted, instructing the Committee on Com
merce to report ns to what legislation is nec
essary to protect the lives of passengers on
Western steamers from danger, and accidents
of explosion of tubular boilers.
Mr. Morgan called up the bill to extend tlie
time for withdrawing goods from public
stores and warcbouscs,on which Mr. Sprague's
motion ot reconsideration was pending.
Mr. Sprague spoke against the bill as calcu
lated to injuriously effect home manufactur
ers, hy enabling importers to sell goods cheap
er than they could be manufactured in this
country.
Mr. Sprague said he had heard a great deal
about the profits of manufacturers. The hap
piest moment of his life, ho said, would be
when be saw the New England system of in
dustry made the system ot the country. He
would like to have the Western and Middle
States to enjoy the strength of the New Eng
land system.
After further debate, in which Messrs.
Sherman, Morrill, Hendricks and Clark par
ticipated, the further consideration of the
subject was postponed till to-morrow.

Washington, Feb. 13.—Mr. Whaley, of
West Virginia, offered a resolution reaffirming
tbe Monroe Doctrine and requesting the
President to take steps for entering into alli
ances with all republics on this continent to
resist French encroachments, which was re
ferred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Mr. Smith, of Kentucky, moved that Jas.
N. Johnson, claiming a seat from Arkansas,
be allowed the privileges of the hall.
Pending the consideration of his case, Mr.
Stevens, of Pennsylvania, said it was mon
strous to thus admit men as members from dc-
iunct States.
Mr. Smith repudiated that idea, denying
that the Southern States were defunct.
Mr. Kanson, of Iowa, advocated the ad
mission of Mr. Johnson.

and when the hour strikes, that nation which
has “forgotten God,” is irresistibly ground in
to tbe dust of nothingness.
Recognizing this teaching alike of Rev
elation and of Tradition, are we not, as
a people, tending downwards? Through
out the North, tho teeming prosperity
which is seen on every side, far from
awakening into exercise a feeling of
gratitude to tho “ Giver of every good
and perfect gift, ” seems but to have
stimulated into intense activity every lust and
passion of our poor, frail nature. Pride, which
forgets its dependence,av—inglory which
vaunts its self-sufficiency and flaunts its vani
ty in the eye of Heaven—lust that riots, and
hatreds and uncharitablcness that burn out
all charity—would seem to hold revelry there.
Murders, from hot anger or sordid greed for
unsacrificing self-indulgence, stalk over the
land—domestic woes, of origin in most scan
dalous bcastiality, crowd upon the attention
of courts of law, and tlic press, even the most
influential and respectable, regale their eager
and expectant readers with all tho disgusting
minutia of woman’s weakness and degreda.

“Stop Her.”
Tlie Zanesville Signal gives the following
humorous description ot a “free ride” on tbe
cars. A Zanesville man being “flat broke”
and wanting to go to Columbus, concluded
to “brass it,” and accordingly took a seat in
a car on the Central Ohio* Railroad. The
Signal thus describes the trip :
The train had nearly reached Claypool’s
before the conductor, whom we shall call
Jones, had reached our dcad-licad friend in
liis round of collecting tickets and fares.
“Your ticket if you please ?” said the Con
ductor. “Haven’t any,” said the dead-head.
“Where are you going ?” inquired the Con
ductor. “Columbus,” replied the dead-bead.
“$2.10, said Jones. “Haven’t nary a stamp,”
remarked our dead-liead acquaintance. “You
must pay your fare or get oft' tbe train,” said
the Conductor. “Stop her,” quietly remark
ed the dead-head.
The train was stopped, and lie was left on
the side of tlie road to wait, as lie said, the
next train, on which he succeeded in getting.
The same scene transpired, ending by the
dcad-iicad telling the conductor “to stop her,”
and he being again left on tlie side of tbe
oad.
Train after train was boarded, and each
put him off a little nearer Columbus. . The
last train on which he got was that of our
friend Jones, who was on iiis return trip from
Bellaire to Columbus. Dead-head got on his
train at Pulaski, and was under full headway
before bring discovered by the conductor.
“Going to Columbus again, I suppose,” re
marked Jones. “Haven’t been there yet,”
said dead-head; “I can’t get to ride more
than six miles before they put me off. I don’t
think I’ll get on more than one or two trains
afteryou’n before Columbus will l>e tlie put
ting off place.” “Well, do you think wc can
carry you unless you pay your fare 1” inquir
ed Jones. “Stop her!" quietly remarked
dead bead. “Well, I do think,” said Jones,
of all the brassy individuals I ever met, you
are ahead of them all. I’ll take you there for
your infernal impudence, nnd nothing else,”
and dead-head was carried into Columbus on
the same train he started on three days be
fore.

New York, Feb. 13.—The Fortress Mon

r* At the President’s last reception, a
peculiar style of wearing the hair among the
ladies was a subject of much comment, and
the remarks were for the most part, alto
gether in its favor, as a becoming substitute
for the waterfall. The hair was allowed to
fall its full length, without fetter or bond ot
any description, and was thought by many to
be the most graceful style the everebanging
empress, Fashion, has yet presented to public
patronage.

LETTER FROM PRESiDENT JCjitEZ, ETC.
New York, Feb. 13.—The Tribune pub
lishes a letter from President Juarez to a
friend in this country. He says that the en
emy is consuming his last resoi: ces, and his
forces arc becoming demoralized lie is very
hopeful of the regubliean causf in Mexico,
and says that without the necessity of the
United States taking any part in the war,
they will be able to obtain the definite tri
umph of the cause of national independence.
The attitude assumed by the government of
the United States has put great moral sup
port to the republican cause in Mexico.—
Maximilian has now not the slightest idea of
vacating the so-called throne.
The licrald’s Mexican correspondent says
that while in the vicinity of Ycra Cruz there
was appearance of great commercial activity,
there is little reality, nearly all the merchan
dise arriving being for the French portion of
the Imperial army. Immense supplies of ord

WEEKLY REPORT OF THE MACON
MARKET.
Daily Telegraph Office, )
Saturday Evening, Feb 19, 1866. |
The weather, the past week has not been favorable
to the retail trade, while the wholesale business has
been on a mnch lighter sctle than for some week*
past. In fact, with the exception of Groceries and
Provisions, business has reached a kind of lull—pre
paratory, wc suppose, to tbe setting in of the Sprit g
trade Thoso.of our Dry Goods llrr.s that have received
their Spring St«c's. have reaped the reward of their
enterpr sc in being the first in th: market, a’.d have
dene a heavy trade. But one stock of Spring Clothing
has been receiv d so Cir—that of Goldsmith & Nuss-
bnum—but other dealers will soon enter the field. Our
columns will always keep the country merchant and
planter posted in this matter. The majority of our
mer hunts arc looking for s ocks in a few days, and
country dealers had better send :n in cir or ers now, so
tbat tiny may b - filled on first arrival of goods.
Cotton—The market opened weak and languid, in con'
set; icnce.ot tlic receipt ol Liverpool and New York
advices quota g a decline in those great Cotton marts,
Tois feeling contmucd| the firs- lire: days of ths
week, and little or nothing wa* done. On Thursday,
the news of a s ight rally cansed a slight demand,
which a so continued on F iday. But the market
again fep flat on Saturday, and closed in that condi-
tion. On the hole, we have to report one of the dull

COTTON.—New York advices'of the 16th, quoting the
market stiff, at 45J£ cents, had the effect of reassuring
regular dealers that the present decline was but tempo
rary, though the demand was not equal to that of the
previous d9y, and as a cotsequence, less Cotton was
sold. The sales wero very light—only 20 bales. Wo

New Obleaxs, Feb. 9.
COTTON.—The market opened this morning under
the depressing influence of the accounts from New
York, published in the morning papers, as well as tlie
difficulty of passing Foreign Exchange, even at a fur
ther reduction in rates, and there was consequently no
general movement. As some factors, however,phowed a
disposition to make additional concessions, a few buy
ers came forward and took 500 bales at crcgular pri
ces, mostly below our last evening’s quotations, which
were 37<c,40c. for Ordiuary. 42®; 13 for Good Ordinary,
44@45 for Low Middling, and 46(3.47 for Middling. At a
later hour the evening papers published New York tel
egrams of to-day, containing Liverpool accounts to the
26tliult.. which report a decline of jkd. in American cot
tons, and In other descriptions. After tho ap
pearance or:hese dispatches the market came to a
stand still, and closed so completely unsettled as to put
I quotxtioos out of the question. ““

economical mode of Planting in this section.
Proved in 1860 by Jacob Fudge, Esq., in Hous

From the Field and Firesida, Jan. 1st, 1861.]
The land selected for the test was a Sandy Pine
Land, and would yield perhaps 400 pounds Cotton
per Acre. But this year it raised only half a crop
the whole year—from the first of April to middle
September, was too dry to dcvelopethebc6t effeete
of any manure.
On one acre NOT MANURED, produced 270
pounds of Cotton. On one acre manured with 200
pounds CROASDALE’S PHOSPHATE LIME,
produced 621 pounds Cotton. Gain 351 pounds,
paying a net ot 7.28. 200 pounds Hoy&t’s Phos
