Emigrant Laborers. Messrs. Editors and Proprietors Savannah Daily Nexcs and Herald ; —To save the Time and labor that it would require to answer individually all the letters that I have already re ceived, and may yet receive, and also to give to the scheme of procuring emigrant laborers a wide-spread circu# lation, I beg leave to trouble you with a statement of probable cost, the form of contract, &c. The present lowest rates would make the expense, including the fees in New York, passage and fare, about 915 on tho wharf at Savannah. Then it will cost probably one to two dollars per head to get lodgings and provis ions and transportation to the depots. This relates to parties of 25 to 50 in number and upwards. I have confer red with the agents of the several lines of steamships, all of whom say they will submit the matter of a still fur ther reduction of fare to the owners of the steamers who live in New York, and who the agents say, have already signified their willingness to make the rate as low as can possibly be afforded. From an interview that I have had with the Presidents of our railroads, I find they have already established a very moderate scale of rates for the transportation of laborers and their families, where as many as forty or more are together. From the investigation that I have made I think the expense may be set down at twenty dollars per head at Macon, or at Thomasvillc, “Live Oak’’ or at Augusta. I am informed that orders can be filled promptly at this time with prin cipally Germans. I do not at present recommend any particular nationality. The Germans, Scotch and Irish we are ail familiar with. The Danes and swedes, as well as the Scandinavians are highly spoken of as agricultural people. It will pro bably be well to allow the agents at New York some discretion after in forming them the occupation they arc to follow. I would recommend neighborhoods to join and order forty to one hundred, including families. I will now receive orders, accom panied with twenty dollars per head which money I will deposite in the Central Railroad Dank at Savannah, and there let it remain till the emi grants arrive at Savannah. If they are to be sent farther than Macon an ad ditional amount must be sent of two or three cents per mile on the Railroads. No orders will be received for labor ers for wet culture at present. Neigh borhoods should take the same nation, al ty. 'Where they get one or more who can speak English, and who over looks and directs their labor, this in dividual gets higher wages. I am informed that the wages will be $8 to sl2, governed somewhat by strength and capacity. Below yon have the form of contract usually signed by the emigrants. The emigrants will expect such food aa other white hired laborers would get t_ *>- .1, Hoping that st least all papers that published my former letters will pub lish this also, and receive my thanks, I remain very truly ard respectfully. G. W. Oarmant. [Contract.] Vtw York, ,186 —.

Our True Policy — Let vs Manu facture at Jlome. —The Columbia S. Carolinian, in a leader upon Southern cotton manufacturing, hits the nail exactly on the head when it says:—- “ Hereafter the mills must come to the cotton.’’ Here is the true policy ot the South—the whole story compressed into a single emphatic sentence. The editor s : mply means that the mills must be erected where the cotton grows, and in doing this all caution should be used to select sites where water power is cheap and abundant, where communication is open in all directions, and where a manufactur ing populatirn can always be sure of health, and where house room, food, and all the necessaries of life can be obtained at the lowest possible cost. Scattered over the South we have such locations without number; we should all work to see them applied to their legitimate uses. Let the mills come to the cotton, and we might add to the wool as well, for wc can raise enough, and more than enough, for all our wants. It is said that one hundred and fifty thousand Americans will visit, the Pa ris Exposition next summer, and will need at least 61,500 apiece, which will create a demand for the startling sum of two hundred and twenty-five tril lions in gold. There are now twenty eight thousand Americans in Europe, who spend fifty-six millions per annum I jlcwtfm'it ditterjrist { SEMI-WEEKLY/) L. C. BRYAN, : : : : Editor.

JSF’We understand the cause of the detention of the Train this morning, was owing to its being heavily loaded by extra attached cars, which caused the boxes to be kept continually hot. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. We acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the Texas Almanac, and a splendid map of the State, from our old friend and former fellow-citizen, Gen. Thomas E. Blackshear, who, we are glad to know, has survived the ravages of the war, and still retains his usual vigor of mind and heart. — 1 The Texas Almanac is a very valua- j ble work, containing all necessary sta- I tistical information in reference to each County in the State, and constituting ! with the map, a perfect guide to the I traveler and emigrant. Those of our friends who have seen it, are very anxious to possess a copy, and we sug gest to our book man in town, the propriety of sending for a few copies for distribution. MATRIMONIAL.

Bradley, the colored would-be Geor gia Lawyer, has entered suit for libel in the U. S. District Court, at Savan nah, against J. E. Hayes, editor of the , Savannah I’epnblicun. From Washington. Washington, Feb. 19. Prof. Bache j is deal. Howell Cobb is here. 1 The Conference Committee on the ; Tenure Office bill agreed to include Cabinet officers. Mr. Saulsbury’s speech denunciatory of Mr. Seward creates much talk. I Passports are f me costa n:ea quarantine regula tioos have been modified. Only three days required. The Southern Loyalists Association, j by resolution, oppose Sherman’s bill. 3 be Senate struck out the clause in the W est Point Appropriation hill, i forbidding appointments from the Southern States. i The Democrats and Extremists vo ted against concurring in Sherman's amendment, Lovell 11. Rousseau vo ted to concur in the amendment. He said unless both Houses act before midnight a pocket veto follows both. House vote to concur in Sherman’s amendment defeated, 73 to 98. A Committee of Conference has been apfointed. The whole matter is dead for this session. The New York Tribune and the Chronicle favored concurrence; but Stevens was too strong. No action is now probable until alter the Connec ticut election, which occurs March 10. If that goes Radical harsh measures are certain. Surratt is still on the Swatara, off the navy yard. Washington, Feb. 20.—The tenure of office bill was hurried to the l’rcs. ident last night to prevent a pocket veto In the House Sherman’s bill came up, when Willson’s amendment was adopted by a vote of 09 to GO. It provides that persons excluded frem cffico by the proposed Constitutional amendment bo also excluded from vo ting for members, or being members of the convention to form State Con stitutions. Mr. Shellaburger offered an amend ment declaring that untill the rebell ious States arc admitted to representa tion any civil government shall be de nied. The provision subjects the State Governments to the authority of the United States Government, to be abol ished, modified or superceded at any time. All elections under the civil government are to be conducted by the persons described in the sth sec tion, and no person shall bo qualified to hold office under the Provisional Government who arc ineligible under the provisions of the 3d section of the Constitutional amendment of last ses sion. The resolution was adopted yeas 98, nays 70. A resolution to concur with Senate amendment (Sherman’s) was tlion passed—yeas 125 to 46 nays. Haw. kins, of Tennessee, and Hubbell, of Ohio, were the only Republicans vo ting nay. The President's answer to Senatori al questions regarding violations of the Civil Rights bill was read io-day.— The Secretary of the Navy is aware of none. The Secretary of the Interior has received no information of any. The Secretary of state has none. The Postmaster-General has none. The Attorney-General has reported none to the President. The President has the case of Wo. Fincher, of Georgia, under considera tion, which had been referred to the Attorney-General’s office by tho Sec retary of War. The Secretary of Wat says that all necessary military orders have been issued, and that there hap been no neglect or refusal to obey them reported to the President Three cases have been reported to the President —those of Dr. Watson, of Virginia, VVip. Fincher, of Georgia, and Perkins, of Texas. IfiP’The Elliott-Louisiana bid may be considered dead for this session.— In the Senate it passed a first reading by a vote of twenty-three to nineteen, but could get no further on account of objections cn the part of the minority. It requires unanimous consent to take a bill up out of its order, and unani mous c msent cannot be obtained. The bill, therefore, takes its place on the calendar, and can only come before the Senate when it is regularly reached. Considering that the President has ten days in which to act on it, and that it will then be returned without his sig nature, it will he impossible to become a law, or what the radicals call a law, at this session. The vote in the Sen ate does not indicate its final passage even in the next congress —s ; nce nine teen, the number of negative votes in tho Senate, is more than one-third of that body, as at present constituted. — Macon Telegraph. Surratt Denies his Identity. Washington, Feb. 19.—Surratt has been confined below decks, and is strongly guarded. His health is ex cellent. He positively denies being Surratt. Marshal Goodin has a war rant for him, issued by Judge Fisher. All access is denied except by counsel. Surratt in Civil Custody. Washington, Feb 20. —The United States Marshal of the D strict took Surratt into custody this morning.— On landing from the ship the Marshal asked, “Is your name John H. Sur rat ?’’ He replied, “It is, sir.” The Marshal then served a warrant and took possession ot the prisoner, who held his head erect, with a fearless air, and was handsomely dressed in a gray Zouave suit, white loggings, with Fez cap, with a light moustache and long goatee. He was handcuffed, and his case and custody is entirely uuder the civil authorities. Ex Gov. Thos. 11. Ford, of Ohio, and Col. Sol. Hins'Hc will defend Sur ratt. Governor Orr on Public Affairs- The following are Governor Orr’s remarks on the political situation, be fore the Charleston Chamber of Com merce, an inkling of which was sent • over the wires. We copy from the Courier: Our political relations are of a very grave character. 1 have recently been in a position where I had an opportu nity of consulting with many who con trol the Government. I say to you in ! »11 frar-too-ig. tfi»t it is difficult *-•'! what our political pori-iou In the fu ! ture is to le. Gentlemen from the Southern States, and particularly those Hrm North Carolina, from Alabama, j Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas, were ! of of inion that some scheme that could be suggested, might be the means at least of securing the support of the conservative portion of the Radical party. Hence the scheme wh eh vou have seen presented. It was not sup posed that it would meet the favor of | the extremists, but would meet the views of the more moderate men. In | their personal relations 1 leel it my duty to say they receivtd me kindly, treated me courteously, and manifested every disposition to have then a per. feet and complete settlement. But some of these gentlemen when next they went into the halls of Con gress would indulge in speeches of the mest violent character. My own judg ment is, if the Legislature of North Carolina adopts the programme with any degree of unanimity, if Arkansas adapts this amendment, and if the otii- J er Southern States adopts it, or mani• lest a disposition to adopt it, it will produce the best, results upon the spirit of a considerable portion of the Radi, i cai party, snd save the South from many of the proposed Radical meas ures. 1 know a great many of our peo ple are in favor of folding their arms. They say, “we aro in power of this people, let them do as they please. 7 ’ 1 do not believe in any such doctrine.— I lam not one. of the “dignity” sort. I have believed in our doing something for ourselves. 1 have believed in in. dicating to this pcoplo that there is no sullenness at least on the part of the people of the South ; that we were prepared to givo them all tho honora ble guarantees to secure their tights in the Government, and when we did so, we at least challenged tho respect of the honest portion of that party. I have bent myself for two long years to produce that result. Whether it will follow l do not know. The great solicitude I have in this matter is the good of the State. In t. king the position l occupy, it was to serve to the best of ray humble abilities, tlio people ot Soutli Carolina ;and 1 intend to continue to serve them. And not. withstanding the growl of grumblers, I shall not bes vayed from the per formance of my duty upon that line. If't accomplishes the results hoped for, I shall be fully compensated for any sacrifices that may have been made. If it fails, I shall feel that any responsibility for the further humilia? tion and further oppression of South Carolina does not lio at my door. Vendees not Liable on Notes Giv en for Purchase of Slaves. Judge Gates, of Louisiana, lias de cided that in contracts of sale there arc mutual obligations—that of the seller to deliver and warrant the thing sold and its peaceable possession ; that of the buyer to accept the delivery and pay the price—and that the logical se quence of the action of the State in emancipating slaves must ho, that when the right of property in that which had heretofore been treated as such by the laws is destroyed, the laws to regulate the right of parties to that property, and to enforce payment of obligations given for it, must follow the fate of the property its If. and all contracts based upon these laws he an nulled. Judge Gates holds that the tenure by which this species of property was held was different from that by which all other property is held. It was not based, he says, on natural law; and the right of liberty was a pre-existing right which belonged to the person held as a slave, however much public policy and the supposed interests of the country may have prevented the enforcement of that right by the per, son claiming it. But when the sover eign power of the State intervened to recognize and enforce that right, it cannot be said that the proprerty was destroyed by anv fortuitous event. Government cannot say that a tract of land, which is property by the laws of nature, shall no longer he property. It can appropriate it for public use by compensating the owner, hut it still possesses the quality of property. — But a slave, once emancipated, can by tto subsequent act of the Government be legally held s*- a slave. He loses all the essential characteristics of pro perty, and becomes free by virtue of the enforcement of his natural and pre-existing right of liberity. The French Government recognized this princij le when in 1789 it abolish ed the feudal tights without indemni ty, and enacted a law to the effeet’that ail Suits instituted and not decided by final judgment, rehti e to feudal rights, should be extinguished (eli ents)j and consequently that all ar. rearagesduo by the vassals could not be collected by process of law.— Mont> (joinery Mail.

Commander—ls Congress should impeach the President, I have no doubt as to which side tho Grand Ar. my of the Republic will take. Reportor—Will you please tell me what are its objects, and when it was formed ? Commander—lt had its origin some time since, in portions of the West where there is no militia. Its objects are of a benevolent character; it aims to assist all Its members who may be in need. Reporter—-How many men are there enrolled in the organization ? Comamnder—Over five hundred thousand. All soldiers honorably dis charged aro admissible* We have Democrats and Republicans in our ranks ; hut all the leading officers are Radicals, so you can imagine how tho army would ho wielded in case of any national necessity. Reporter—Tnen the army may he' said to have a Radical character in the main ? Commander—4Fes; it is under Radi cal officers, and if there should be any necessity for its services, I have no doubt they, would he rendered for the purpose of supporting Congress, if it impeached the President. Reporter—Have arms or uniforms been furnished to tho men ? Commnader— No. Reporter—Do they meet regularly?

Relative Positions of New Eng land and the South in the Future. The Providence. Rhode Island, Post, in a notice of the January number of Do Bow's Review, after remarking that tho entire magazine, almost without qualification, is devoted to the materi al interests of tho South, says : There can he no doubt that, sooner or later, the Southern cotton will be made into cloth largely in Alabama, Georgia and North Caro'ina ; while the coal, the iron, and the gold of the South will aid in making it the richest |juu'iuu ot iUc country. We do not anticipate, nor need the ; present generation worry itself about the transfer- nee of manufacturing 1 power front New England to Georgia, but the trun-fer will he made, and within a period short in the history of i nation. New England will bo rich, i but not energetic; cultivated, intellec tually, hut not prospering in material wealth ; a power of the past, and not the hope of tlto future. There will bo two cbuses ; the rich and the unambi tious poor, and the great West and the growing South will despise and scorn her, as she now lords it over them. 77ie Next Governor q/ Georgia. — Ashburn, a few days since, sent to j Dalton, Georgia. some radical docu i tnents, upon which was the following endorsement: I tliink we will pass Stevens’ bill j this week through the Douse, and next j week through the Senate.
