If a mechanio, the more he shuffled and evaded his obligations, and gonged bis workmen, the faster bis notes went to protest and the louder his groans over evil fortnne. A man most stand npon the solid rock of jus tice, truth, and fair and generous dealing before he can indulge one rational hope of prosperity. When he stands there he feels like a man—be knows he is right—he is doing justice, and ex pects and demands justice in return. His la borers know the same and their own inward consciousness of jnstice and right are the voice less advocates of the employer. But let them detect him in the smallest dis position to take advantage of them and they will return it with interest, and with a compara tively clear conscience. It becomes mere re taliation. It takes the shape of equity. When a planter, by sharp dealing or by indue ing bis bands to do what his good sense tells him is not for their real interest, succeeds in re ducing very materially, at small cost, the bal ance of wages against himself at Christmas, he should not be so simple as to persuade himself he has really made that much money. Iu all probability he has lost, in various ways, ten times the amount of his apparent savings. And he has made a bad loss for himself if, with all, he has lost the confidence of his labor- That will lose him their labor, and a bad reputation among the negroes is going to be an increasingly heavy loss to the planter. It will cost him all first class hands, provided he can can get any hands at all. We hold that a solid repntation for kindness, jnstice, liberality and Georgia Teachers* Association.

On Wednesday evening, after supper, Anna invited her companion to go down with < her ob the main deck and sleep with her, as she had a eomfortable berth. The women, being tired, divested themselves of their outer cloth, ing and went to bed. On the deck there were several Italians who were drunk ana noisy, one of whom had a candle in his hand, and careless ly placed it on a bale of hay, setting it on Sre. The alarm was immediately given, and in a second the boat was a sheet of flame. Anna jumped up in her night-clothes to save herself. All was coDfnsion. She stood on the guards of the boat as long as it was safe, during which she felt perfectly calm and self- possessed. _ A gentle, mancame upand proposed thatifshe would jump off with him into the water he would try and save her.

New Steamer foe Charleston.—The paddle steamships Tennessee and South Carolina, bnilt respectively at Wilmington, Delaware, and at Philadelphia, hnve been bought by influential prosperous farming in the Sonth. This being the case, let ns next talk a little upon the point of equity in respect to wages. The laborer should share in the prosperity of his employer, and he is but a mean sonl who be grudges a reasonable division of the common earnings. It i3 the l 'liheral eouC’—not the stingy, pennrious and griping sonl—that God Almighty says shall be made fat. There was a singular mle which controlled prices almost invariably daring slavery times, familiar to all our readers. An able-bodied ne gro in his prime was worth just as many hun dred dollars as cotton was worth cents. Towards the last the slave valuation was a little in excess of this rale, bat generally the rule held. Then the hire of negroes, although fluctuating under local causes, was about ten per cent- on this valuation, including the usual stipulations of food and clothing. Now, if we apply this rnle at the present time, wt> shall see that the exist ing rate of wages is not high. A good hand would now be worth $2300, land his biro for a year would be $230 including rations and clothing, which would be, under existing circnrastanees, 8ayanott$12 00pormontb. Thus we see that wages are now perhaps a little under par, meas ured by the price of cotton and the old rnle, and there is a reasonable margin for a rise npon this basis. The great point is to content the hand*. A dissatisfied force is a worthless and unprofitable force if yon can get it for $5 a month. Let our planters aim, first of all, at relations of entire confidence and friendliness with their bands. Let every one of these negroes feel that he has a “Boss” who not only would not cheat him, if he could, bnt one who takes a warm and friendly interest in his welfare, and is solicitous for his comfort and prosperity. ,,„i . , , ,, 5 - a uuu> <■ i^uaira. ui - )wu j. owiuiaijuHi-i As near us can be estimated, t here were aboard At "i « clock an address will be delivered tity was quickly severed from a piece.
