THE GEORGIA WEEKLY TELEGRAPH.
<5wr|UiMetlilgS*lrs ra F&
jar Gov. Jenkins is now on a visit to Sa
vannah, being a delegate to the Episcopal
Convention now in session in that city.
C5?“ Govomor Pierpont, of Virginia, has
appointed Hon. Alex. Rives, Judge of the Su
preme Court of Appeals, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Judge Thompson.
ggy* Colonel George Field, at one time
Colonel of the 11th Alabama regiment,* died
recently in Eutaw, of which place lie had long
been a citizen.
^•Alexander H. Stephens is expected at
Washington this week to 'Counsel with his
friends upon the reconstruction policy of the
President. *So says the Nashville Banner.
Edward A. Swain, of New Orleans,
captured whilst an officer of the Contederate
States navy, on the high seas, and charged
with privateering, has been released from im
prisonment by the President.
We are authorized by the Agent of
Erwin & nardec’s line of Steamboats to cor
rect the statement relative to the withdrawal
of the steamer Charles 8. Hardee, from the
Ocmulgee river. She will continue to run
between Savannah and Hawkinsville as long
as sufficient freights arc 'offering to warrant
her owners in keeping her on the route. We
will add in -this connection that her Agent,
Col. Mangliam, is prepared to forward cot
ton and merchandize to Savannah cheaper
than it can !>e sent by Railroad, including
insurance.
Op Interest to Planters.—The Mem
phis Argus says: Agents of planters have no
difficulty in employing farm laborers in this
city. Wc are told that any number of stal
wart men can be employed in Memphis to-cul
tivate cotton fields. Not long ago, countless
fannere in Monroe, Lowndes and Noxubee
counties, in Mississippi, sought field bonds in
Memphis. None could be induced to leave
the city. AN this is changed, and however
deplorable means employed to beget these re
sults, we must congratulate the city and
country that eight or ten thousand idlers in
Memphis may 'become invaluable on deso
lated plantations in the interior.
Synagogue ik Savannah.—In the Repub
lican of Tuesday, we find the following jiicce
of information;
“The Hebrew congregation, B. B. Jacob,
of this city, intend erecting a fine •Synagogue
on the spacious lot at the corner of Brough
ton and Montgomery streets, and invite plans
and specifications for the same. The build
ing is intended to lie an ornament to this por
tion of our city, and we have no doubt, when
finished, will reflect credit on the committee
having the matter in clmige.” The notice is
signed by II. Ilaym, President; 8. Gerstman,
P. Dzialynski anti J. Colicn, who constitute
• the committee.
Macon and Augusta Railroad.—As a
matter of much interest to the citizens and
people of this section, we copy the proceed
ings of the late meeting of the stockholders
of the Macon and Augusta Railroad Compa
ny, at Augusta. It will be seen that Hon.
John P. King, of Augusta, was re-elected
President, and was authorized to issue two
hundred and filly thousand dollars of Bonds
of the Company for the purpose of completing
the Road. Stockholders are called on for 20
per cent of their stock to press the road through
at once. The general feeling among the
stockholders was to have the road finished
as early as possible. *
A Bio Loop-Hole.—There is some laugh
upon the Reconstruction Committee, says
the Montgomery Mail, because of a big loop
hole in their report. Their aim was to de
prive the South of Representation in Con
gress. Under the Constitution, as it was, it
took five negroes South, to count three votes.
In the new Thad. Stevens’ scheme, the males
over twenty-one are only counted out if the
negroes are not allowed to vote, but the two
filths which the South lost in women and
children, arc now added to the basis, which
will balance the loss of the male deduction,
leaving the number of representatives about
as now, and not the slightest reason save
from principle, why suffrage should be ex
tended ; the principle at the same time being
discarded in the report.
Shall tiie South Desert the President
In giving his evidence before the Reconstruc
tion Committee, Mr. Stephens, ot Georgia,
took pains to impress upon the minds ol the
members of that secret conclave the fact that
he was fully of the belief that, being already
in the Union, and having never, according to
the Federal authorities on the subject, been
able to secede, the Southern States' would
be wanting in dignity should they agree to
any conditions as necessarily precedent to their
restoration to all their rights as States. Mr.
Stephens, says the Richmond Dispatch, might
have added that to make such terms would
be to desert the President The Radicals, in
proposing terms to the South, are either anx
ious to have them aceeptcd and the President’:
theoiy repudiated, or they desire to in
duce the South to reject their proposal
that they may have an. excuse for per
petuating their own ascendancy. Now, the
people of the South have certainly no idea of
repudiating the President’s theoiy or his pol
icy. Neither do they desire to assist the Rad
icals in their effort to retain power in their
own hands. And yet it would seem that they
will be compelled to do one or the other.—
Fortunately for us, the Radicals have propos
ed terms of so degrading a nature that they
have not thrown in our way even a tempta
tion to desert the President When they ask
us, among other things, to ostracise the men
who have only exceeded ourselves in the sin
of rebellion because we asked them to lead us,
the Radicals propose a condition which no
man of Southern teelings will be disposed to
accept and therefore we are not likely to be
called on to decide upon tbe question wheth
er on opportunity to procure liberal terms
would justify us in rejecting the President’s
idea that we are already in the Union.
The Muscogee Railroad .and Supplies
for tue Destitute.—The Columbus En
quirer says that President Mustian has gener
ously determined to transport, free of charge,
both the proportion of the Baltimore gift of
of provisions that may come over his road,
and such supplies of com as Governor Jen
kins may be able to provide for the destitute
people of the State. His action in this mat
ter proves that some “corporations have
souls,” and shows liow great a blessing to a
community such a corporation may become
when it is liberally directed.
Wc are pleased to add that tlic Macon and
Western, Southwestern, and Macon and Bruns
wick roads have made similar offers to the
Governor. No doubt all the roads in the
State will follow suit.
The Eatonton Branch:—The serious in
convenience resulting to passengers from
tbe present schedule on this road—they being
compelled to lie over a whole day at Gordon
when going from or coming to Macon—is a
source of much and veiy just complaint. It
ought to be remedied if practicable, and we
think it is. For the short time to elapse bc-
iforo the completion of the main trank, when
day and night trains will be pnt on and the
old schedule resumed, wc suggest that the
train from Eatonton run through to Macon.—
This will remedy the whole difficulty as re
gards passengers, and the additional expense
to the company will be but as a trifle compar-
.ed with the annoyance to which the public is
subjected. The managers of the Central Road
are obliging, and, wc feel sure, will do the
best they can to meet the wants of the peo
ple.
The Cotton Seed Question.—We pub
lished, some days ago, a letter from an Ala
bama planter in which the writer advanced
the opinion that cotton seed, after lying in
the lint for a considerable length of time, be
come useless for planting, as the cotton fibres
exhaust the oil and other vital principles of
the seed by absorbtion. We were inclined
to doubt the “absorption” theoiy at the time,
as we could pot discover its modus operands
under natural Laws.
Per contra, a largo and successful planter
residing in Hancock county, informs us that
his present crop is planted with seed that had
lain in the lint from one to three years, which
would seem an ample test, and yet all the
plants that came up are doing well, having
five or six leaves to the stalk. His cotton was
housed dry, whereas
The Memphis Riots.
The Memphis Appeal, in referring to the
late melancholy riots in that city, warns the
public that they have no political significance
whatever in a political point of view. It
states that they were of that character, pre
cisely. which might have taken place, under
like circumstances, in any Northern city, and
which have taken place, marked by even
greater atrocities, in several Northern cities,
with less of aggravation -to be pleaded in
their extenuation. “They arc lamentable,
most lamentable and discreditable,” says the
Appeal, “to the fair fame of our city; but
they are incidents of that fallible human na
ture from whose excesses neither the dwellers
in Northern or Southern climes are exempt.
Wc expect the saints of Boston, who wit
nessed the burning of the Convent at Charles
town and the driving forth of a number of
defenceless women whose lives were devoted
to piety and charity, to comprehend this, and
vindicate Memphis accordingly; nor shall we
excuse Philadelphia, which aforetime in
dulged herself in negro mohbings and burn
ings; in throwing stones at us as being more
unrighteous than herself.
“Whoever shall connect ‘rebels’ with these
sad events, and so draw from them an argu
ment against their fitness to be entrusted with
the management of tlieir own local affairs, or
assert that the negro race is not safe under
their protection, will simply lie. Should
such representations conic from pretended
eye-witnesses, they will lie willfully and
knowingly. We put this on record, once for
all, applicable to ‘all whom it may concern.'
If any proof were wanting of the correctness
of this assertion, it may be found in tlie fact
that the latest victim of these brutalities—the
colored servant killed at the Gayoso House
on Thursday night—was a faithful follower
and friend of his late master through the en
tire war, and was a favorite iu the Confeder
ate army. There is not a returned Confede
rate soldier here to whom he was known—
and be was very generally known and esteem'
cd—who would not have protected his life
at the risk of his own. He was engaged in
taking care of the bats and canes of the at
tendants on the Benevolent Party for the ben
efit of maimed Confederates, and at tlio time
of his untimely murder, bad in his personal
keeping several pistols put in his charge by
Confederates who were in the ball room. Go
ing out to procure a hack for a Confederate,
he was fired upon and killod, it has not yet
been discovered by whom—but certainly not
by any one in sympathy with the occasion up
on which he was an attendant.
Farther proof of wliat we have asserted
may be fonnd in tbe fact that the returned
Confederate soldiers, while rigidly abstaining
from participation in these disturbances, bold
themselves, as is well known here, in readi
ness to promptly obey any requisition that
may be made upon them by the military au-
it AsaS r sLi Cfnfno oml flm mfv
thoritlcsof the United States and tbe city
government, to assist in maintaining public
order. Coming back to their homes impov
erished, and scrupulously respecting tlieir
paroles, they desire peace, quiet, and good
order, to the end that by patient industry,
they may retrieve their ruined fortunes.—
They know what subordination to good gov
ernment is, and value it They are not the
enemies of tlic negro, but, in bis proper sphere,
his friend ahd protector; and no one knows
this better than tbe hundreds of respectable
and orderly colored men who are pursuing a
life of orderly industry under tlieir daily ob
servation, and who look to them for protec
tion in the midst of these disorders.
■ “Here, where these facts and truths arc pa-
lent it would be unnecessaiy to promulgate
them, and we give them prominence only to
correct any misrepresentations of the evil
minded which may be made abroad for party
purposes.'
Congress Warned.—Tbe Constitutional
Union, published at Washington, in its issue
of Wednesday contains an article on Con
gressional action in the following words:
“These men had better beware; they are
not a legal Congress, but an unconstitutional
body of usurpers. The country feels that tbe
one great error of the President was in his
ever recognizing them at all. In their self-
imposed rump condition, they had no claim
for recognition as an official body from an
honest man, or any other branch of Govern
ment. We doubt whether the Supreme Court
will ever affirm any of their acts to be valid.
This thing of Congressional fanaticism and
treason ought to be done away with. The
American Congress now is the fac simile of
that rump Parliament which stunk in the nos
trils of all good men, and which Cromwell
kicked out of doors, and served them just
right. A little Cromwellian pluck is just the
thing needed now, and there are 2*000,000
Democrats at the North who would face that
kind of pluck with a good deal of relish just
now. The issue should bo joined at once.”
The National Express.—The fine wag
ons and teams of this new Company made
their appearance in our streets yesterday, and
quite a number of citizens were complimented
with a free ride about town. The affair was
conducted by Capt Williamson, the hi aeon
Agent, and was quite a sensation for an hour
or two. It wound up most pleasantly at the
Captain’s new headquarters in the midst of
goblets, cracked ice and bottles that popped
when the corks were drawn. The new Com
pany and its glorious Commander-in-chief, as
well as its polite representative who was the
host on the convivial occasion, came in for a
shower of kindly sentiments and good wishes.
Negro Insurrections.
Since the close of the war there have been
several collisions between the whites and
blocks at various points in the South, in some
cases, as. recently, a: Memphis, assuming the
aspect of a formidable riot, accompanied by
bloodshed and seriously threatening the se
curity of communities. These disturbances
have generally been provoked by a spirit of
insubordination on the part of the negro pop
ulation. and, more directly, may be charged
to the insoionce and lawlessness of colored
soldiers. These unhappy results may be due
to the fact that the freedinen, unprepared by
proper social education for tlieir sudden en
franchisement, are ignorant of tbe obligations
that they owe to society, and, in view of their
peculiar condition, their responsibility for
crime may be lessened and their claim ad
mitted to a lenient consideration. But that
does not take away from the peril that over
hangs that section of our countrywhere bul
lions, suddenly released from a discipline to
which they have been accustomed, may at any
time yield to the passions that they have
never been morally trained to control. It is
imperative that something should be done to
restrain tlie negro population and to compel
them to accept, with tlieir freedom, the obli
gations of free agents dwelling in a civilized
sphere.
So long as the Radicals arc permitted to
encourage in tlie freedmen the idea that they
are abused by their former masters, and that
their condition is still below the level guaran
teed by tbeir emancipation, it will be impos
sible to prevent a growing dissatisfaction, or
to repress the tendency to revolt Tbe ne
groes are cunning enough to be aware that a
powerful party are endeavoring to make
political capital by assuming tbe champion
ship of tlieir race, and they appreciate their
value in that respect to the demagogues who
are so loudly sounding their praises and so
incessantly legislating ostensibly ip their be
half. They have been taught to regard the
Southern whites as a people under a b3n,
who have forfeited tbeir status and their
rights of self government, and who are pow
erless to protect themselves against insult
and violence. Themselves they have been
taugbt to consider tbe especial favorites of
power, sure of the intercession of powerful
friends to shield them from the penalties of
insubordination. Their weak minds and im
pressive natures, under the influence of the
caresses of a party that seem to sway the
course of political affairs with an absolute
scepter, aspire to the immediate realization of
their wild dreams of aggrandizement and af
fluence in which they have been encouraged.
It is not improbable that, in consideration of
their antecedents of thraldom, they im
aginethat they have some privilege of re
talliation, and that there is some kind of
retributive justice in the display of ar
rogance and superiority toward those
that held them formerly in bondage.
As tlieir Radical guardians are doing
everything in their power to degrade and hu
miliate the Southern whites, perhaps they
think that they please tlieir patrons in be
coming humbler instruments of persecution.
These influences, acting upon the character of
a race naturally reckless, improvident, cruel
and vindictive, may engender tlie most de
plorable results. It cannot be expected that
the fanaticism of the Radicals will measure
the consequences of their incendiary policy,
for they have long since proved themselves
absorbed in the accomplishment of tlieir par
tisan schemes, the gratification of their ambi
tion and of their hatred. In this emergency
the necessity becomes more urgent for firm
and decisive Executive action, that, among
other misfortunes, the peril of negro insur
rection may be averted.
The Southern people have no opportunity
to provide for tlieirown safety. Tlieir poli
tical condition being undefined, and their
machineiy of local government imperfect ami
inefficient, they can neither make nor execute
the laws that are necessary to control their
vast' negro populations. They and they only,
understanding the character and wants of the
freedmen, can organize within their respec
tive States a system that will work with liene-
ficcnce aqd harmony. It is no easy task to
regulate the industrial spheres of the South,
alter the great organic change that lias oc
curred in that sphere. It can only lie accont
plished by tlie legislation of the States within
whose limits tlie process of emancipation has
been accomplished. When those States shall
have been restored to tlieir normal condition
and rc-investcd with authority to bold their
populations, of all classes, in subordination,
order will be ro-establisbcd, and the freed
men will, perhaps, be provided for in the va
rious fields of industry ; but, until then, there
will always be danger of collisions between
the whites and blacks, culminating, perhaps,
in a war of races.—N. T. Newt.

Chief Justice Chase and the Trial of Mr.
Dans.
Tlic special telegraphic dispatches to thc
Cincinnati Gazette, from Washington, furn
ish thc following information of the prepara
tioas of the trial of Mr. Davis now pendjng
at Norfolk: ,
It was stated in this correspondence some
days ago, that Chief Justice Chase had ex
pressly said he could not hold Court in Vir
ginia while the State was under martial law.
It may now be added that be had an interview
with the President on Saturday evening last,
during which he uiged upon the Executive
the propriety of removing the suspension of
the privileges of the writ of habeas corpus,
and of withdrawing martial law at least in
Virginia, so far as relates to cases in which
thc Courts of the United States have juris-
tion. '
The recent proceeding at New Orleans
made the Chief Justice particularly unwilling
to enter upon trials for treason where thc ac
tion of hisConrt might he interrupted by the
military authorities. Thc order in that case,
as well as other recent orders, clearly enough
demonstrate that thc peace proclamation docs
not remove martial law, and the Chief Jus
tice desires the assurance ot a Presidential or
der or proclamation to the effect that the Court
will not be interferred with by the mil
itary, in case proceedings in the treason cases
arc begun.
What tbe President will do in the matter is
not yet known, but there arc hints that he
will soon issue a declaration to the purport
that martial law is abrogated in all matters
whereof the civil courts have jurisdiction.
Tlie spring term {of thc Virginia Circuit
Court has opened at Norfolk, Judges Under
wood presiding, and it is expected that thc
Grand Jury wfll bring in a true bill for trea
son against Jeff. Davis. Prior to the rebel
lion this Court was bdd at Richmond, as be
ing a more central and convenient point, and
the House passed a bill to-day allowing it to
be returned to that city.
Whether Judge Underwood will take any
step in thc Davis business is not known.—
Mr. Chase will probably visit Norfolk, and
attend the Court next week. So much inter
est attaches to the treason trials in Virginia,
that it may be mentioned in this connection
that tlie House Judiciary Committee bas un
der consideration a bill drawn by Judge Law
rence, of Ohio, quite materially regulating
qthe ualification and selection of jurors for
such trials, which, it is believed, they will
agree to report in some form.
Wc may mention in this connection that
that of our Alabama ' Gen. Johnston will soon make us a visit in
planter may have been otherwise, and hence, person, an event which will be most gratifying
accounts for the difference of experience, to our citizens.
The Crevasses.—A New Orleans corres
pondent of a Mississippi paper thus writes
concerning crevasses and the good they do:
“Sometimes I cannot but wish that the cre
vasses were let alone until the annual accumu
lation of soil, which the river would bring to
tbcmjand finally all.become highland. Straigh
ten the river almost like a canal by cutting
through all bends, and let it go over thc
banks when two low naturally to prevent,
and in a few years wc would have a perma
nent channel and high banks on either side,
and ten times as much tillable land as we now
have. By tbe present system the interests of
the whole State and of posterity are sacrificed
to the nnnual wants of a few front proprietors
who would themselves be benefitted by let
ting tbe river flow over tbeir lands, if they
would meanwhile to the highlands and raise
crops until thc river lands rise above the lev
el of overflow.
The Wheat Crop.
As tlic season advances, it develops thc fact
that tlie wheat crop will prove well nigh a
failure in this vicinity, this year. The ex
cessive hard freezes last winter, unaccom
panied, as they were, by snow, made it by far
tlie most severe season on wheat that we have
had for many years. Hopes were entertain
ed by some, in the early part of spring, that
the germ was not killed, and that it would
tiller sufficiently to cover tlie land, but wc
notice many fields almost bare, and have not
to this date, seen a single piece of Wheat that
would make fifteen bushels to the acre, even
where it was protected from the North winds.
Many, very many fields will not replace the
seed put upon them. Our best lands, with a
favorable season, will average from twenty to
twenty five bushels per acre.
Apropos of wheat, we have heard it sug
gested by one of our most experienced far
mers, that the best preventive against freezes
is to put the wheat in with single plows, al
ways plowing east and west. leaving the land
in small ridges. The Southern exposure of
those ridges will protect the wheat from the
freeze, and, even allowing all the northern
side of the ridge to be killed, that on tlie
southern will tiller sufficiently to cover the
land. We think it worth trying.
Since the above was written, we learn that
large fields of wheat are affected with a sin
gular and unusual disease, turning yellow at
the bottom and nearly all the blades having
yellow spots upon them. It is apprehended,
where this disease has attacked the wheat,
there will be a total tailure.—Clarlesrillel
{Torn.) Chronicle.
New Englanders Pocketing Slaves.—
Hon. Issaac Davis, of Worchestcr, Mass., some
ten years ago, sat one day at an abolition
meetingin that fiery little town. The speak
ers were oarcst in denouncing the sin of slave
ry, of making merchandise of men, and of re
ceiving the gain ot such a trade,these,practices
were an abhorrence to them. Mr. Dauis
arose. He told over by name the men who
were present, and who were directors and
stockholders in a certain bank in town, and
read them a letter from a lawyer in Charles
ton, S. C., who had recovered a judgdinent
there for a sum of money due to the bank.—
The letter went on to state that they had
seized, in execution upon this judgement, thc
slaves of thc judgment debtor, and they
were—two families of slaves—then adver
tised lor sale to pay the judgment of tlie
bank. These directors and stockholders were
thus, to the extent of their interest in the
bank, thc owners of the slaves; the negroes
were to be sold at tbeir order, and tbe pro
ceeds were to be paid over to them. He then
pleaded with them to come forward and give
up each his share of the claim, that some, at
least, of these negroes might not be sold ;
that, at least, one family might be saved from
separation. But, true to the old Massachu
setts instinct, when these disagreeable ques
tions came up, and these beautiful sentiments
could not be indulged in without affecting
their pockets, the meeting subsided.
Affairs at Valparaiso.—Immediately
after the bombardment of Valparaiso the
English Minister was requested to evacuate
the premises occupied by him. and no one
will rent him another house. His name was
also stricken from the list of the members of
thc Club De La Union.
Only two lives were lost and eight wound
ed. Several churches were destroyed, and
one hundred and fifty-one government stores,
valued at a half million dollars, containing
upwards of eight millions of dollars worth of
foreign merchandize. Five hundred and for
ty-five thousand dollars will repair all the
damages done to public edifices, whilst thc
bulk of the loss will fall on foreigners.
At Callao preparations were actively mak
ing for the reception of the Spanish fleet, by
the fortifications.
