' SOUTHERN TmBITOEIBS.
The bill territorializing the South
ern States, or reducing them t,o the
condition of conquered provinces, hav
ing passed both houses of Congress by
sufficient majorities to render the Pre
sident’s veto ineffective, wo may as
well survey our situation and look rit
things as they are, cr as they shortly
will Ip. Having declared the 'pft'sfint
governments of the States illegal, and
disfranchised all the white population
of the same, in any wise capable of
devising or sustaining a goveiument,
the same act renders ineligible to any
office of honor or profit, any person who
was directly orindivectly engaged in the
rebellion againstthe Government. This
is a sweeping stroke of the Radical
scythe, and strikes down the entire
Southern white population, and appa>
rently raises up the negro in their stead.
Hut the negro cannot be rotted vp to
the level of the whites in any parti c it. :
lar whatover, except in privilege, or 1
Government rights. The Radicals
know this as well as wc of the stricken
South. They do not expect the hcqro 1
to go to Congress, nor to fill the State
Legislative halls, but they expect to
import men into the South of their own i
sentiments', to fill all the offices and
hold the reins of Government in the I
States at their command. In carry
ing out this object they intend to ntafo*
use of the negroes right, to vote. The
negro will be told of lift high estate,
but he will be theVtuHefcr'in tlib fitltf.
The Mhilcs then-, afo to l>(T*pnt down
and the negroes" elevated to rank.—
Either negroes of* Tiudiral whites are
to fill all Clio offices of the South, —no
other result can lmi anticipated by the
masses of the Southern people. The
Judges of all our Courts, if we arc al
lowed Civil Qourt#. with die-ir juries,
will bo negroes or Radical agents. At
present, there are not men enough of
the Radical stripe in the South to fill
these offioes. and no .syuaAje an,
North or South, will suppose the ne
groes would knowbow to take a single
step toward organizing a State Govern'
luent, or even establishing peace and
order. We may therefore. Confidentl y
expect very shortly, a great influx of
Radicals in the Southern States to set
tle, in order to acquire the right to j
vote and Imld office The great body
of the Southern while people have been
rebels, and cannot participate in any of
the reconstruction proceedings. TTlufy
are strangers (not in a strange land) —
but in their own homes. What justice
could they expect in such courts '(■
Where turn for Telie-f from oppression ?
Their enemies have adjudged them
guilty after JiM pardon, and without
trial. Shall Southern men and women
have any thing tq do with G-tt/fo- tin
der such an organization? We say
nay. Let us forthwith settle our dif
ferences df opinion, and all our law
suits, and have no use for the Court
house, until a returning sense of jus
tice and inagnanirtriiy whsll convniee
the Northern peop'e of their terrible
mistake. If we have differences annm:
us which would now go before the
Courts, let ns bring in two or threo
iltsinterorted neighbors, j)nd abide
their decision, Lee of ami with
out giving any further trouble to our
friends or their agents, who Inure al

mind and money, to our jvy. iteration
and social benefit.

IMPORTANT INVENTION
We; learn tlirough the Savannah
pApcra, that Col. Win. H. Wylly, son of
Mr. Geo. W Wylly of Savannah, Ims
invented and recently scoured the pat
ent of a Life Boat, which is repfresen
tfd as surpassing every thing of the
kind ever beforfe invented, and it in
*pi>#ieted, that Col. Wylly will r*lizo
a fortune from this triumph of hia
genius. Jt flj said that tlfls J.ife Boat
is made of Gutta perefi'n, very cutfious
ly and so perfect that leak
ing cupsj&ing and pinking artfmkt. of
the question, Forty em/it of t!ii% can
Re paeko(f in the space of 1G feet square,
and that number will transport safely
1000 men, while iwo men can blow
up and launch one in five minutes.
If these statements be tvue there
wii(be no more getting drowned at
sea, for overy craft can carry many
more of these Life Boats than the
number of her Crew and passengers
would require, and they may die of
thirst or starvation at sea, but fear no
danger of drowning a* long as they
can Cling to Col. Wylly’s infallible lift
buoy.
The invention is likely to revolution
ize the Lift preservers, and wc are
glad so valuable an inVentibn to all
mankind originated in the South, and
especially, in the State of Georgia.

‘of the fosuurccs and advantage? of opr

from my good old native Slate a single
useful eitisoti, but to let that hardy,
industrious, laboring class, who are
toiling upon the old worn out, poor
lands of Georgia, for a. bare subsist
ence, know wh*rc they get good
land on easy terms, in a healthy coun
try, where they cm make a good liv
ing and suJfSicthiug t.o spare, in return
for their honest labor.
From my own observation and tho
best information 1 can obtain, the freed
negroes'aro not working so well this
year, even as •they did tho last. All
werg loth to make contracts,.and many
arc yet loafing about the towns and
villages undetermined what to do. A
large number have squatted about on
little places, to farm for themselves;
nuicli suffering will bm the eonsc
'qnonce. A great many plantations of
the richest lauds in our State wilt'go
uncultivated, for want,of. laborers. 1
have been too long accustomed to good
order and discipline, to nut up with
tho idle, lazy, anil thriftless habits of
the freed negro. 1 have iftt up my
home plantation (within one mile of
Wavusota) into small farms, of from
| forty to siaty-aorcs, and rented them*
;to while men. My plan is to build
•:i eopilortable dwelling, cook lnuise,

: When’tlie negroes tv#ro about t# leave,

col-l spell came on, I let>“ nig" afone,
but sent around to my renters'and
asked them to come and help uie kill
hogi». Li an hour fourteen men aud
boys walked into the yard. We all
! pitched in (myself aud boys among the
! foremost); Sous the hogs were sqdeal
ing, and by night, fortyd’onr were ■
slaughtered and put away ; my daugh
ter cooking breakfast and dinner for
us. I thanked God I was independent
of the lazy, thriftless freed negro.
I have cut up my river plantation J
info three farms, and rented them to
parties, wlro will, this year, work them
with jicgrpcs* I have arranged the j
houses so that they can hereafter be i
; used by white men. I understand j
many otlfhV large planters will pursue j
j the same plan next year,'and in three j
■, years, nearly every large jdantatfon iu i
I the cotton and sugar regions ih this j
i State, will be tint up into small4’afms, j
j worked by white men, and the negro j
I shuffled out. * *
I Movers arc passing by my Ifnusc |

You can form some idea from this, of

utmost Importance in what relative

•To find out tho correct proportions

cSrefully Compared the respite of tho

come to the conclusion that a mixture
of the soluble parts of one ounce of
wheat flour and one ounce of malt*with
ten ounces of milk and sixty drops of

of the carbonate of potassa, will ap
proach as near as possible to the nu
