State Convention of the Teachers at
Tallahassee. The Teachers of all
public schools in the State, and of the
neighboring counties of Georgia, and
all others who.as teachers, feel an in
terest in the cause of eiucation tho’h
not now actually engagud in teaching,
are earnestly requested to attend a
Uonvcntion to be held in Tallahassee,
on Monday the 20th of May.
All persons expecting to attend the
convention, will notify the Rev. Chas.
Kenraore, of Tallahasse, the chairman
of the comittee of arrangements of
such intention, on or before the 15th
of May, and report themselves imme
diately upon their arrival at Tallehas
see to this committee, who will be in
waiting at the Capitol.
The Negroes and. their Landed
Expectations.
From Senator Wilson’s speech made
at Norfolk and reported.by telegraph
to the Nq.w Ycrk Tribune, we make
the following extract, which may serve
to dissipate the idea that some of the
negroes entertain respecting acquisi
tions of land. The Senator tells them
plainly that if they want land they
will have, to buy it at the Government
prioe of $1 25 per acre. Ho says
that "the oovernment, coma no* buy
them farms, nor confiscate private
property without reason.’fo Now, if
he will talk that way all over the
South, he will remove one fatal cause
of idleuess among the freedmen and do
them a great service. The id- a that
the lands of white men are to be con
fiscated and parceled out amongst
them is wide-spread and of most per
nicious tendency. It has been indus
triously propagated by some under,
ground means, and has unsettled very
many of them. The sooner, therefore,
that it can be exploded, the better.—
The negroes may then go to work on
other men’s farms, and a better feeling
between the landholders and their la
borers will ensue. We subjoin the re
marks of Mr. Wilson on this subject.
He said : — Mttc(j* Telegraph.
“The freedmen could now be as in
dependent as any other people in the
country, and h.; thought their lot was
quite as good as that of their late mas
ters. They had not quite so much
land as thcyliad, but they had not so
many debts to pay. They must be
-industrious, save their means, nnd let
ithe whiskeyrbottle alone. Tho Gov
ernment cotfld not buy them farms,
nor confiscate private proporty without
reason ; but the Government had 900,-
000,000 acres of land open for notual
set-lors, and 45,000,000 acres in the
rebel States, divided into 80-acro lots,
and those lands the colored people
could buy if they pleased for 81 25
an acre, make their tarms, and bcoouie
independent landholders.”
Hotc to Make Butter. —Everybody
likes good butter, and very few know
how to put it up so as to keep it fretdi
and sweet. For the benefit of those
who desire information on the subject,
v. • publish the an nosed recipe, from
the Petersburg Index, and recommend
them to try it:
Take two quarts of good salt, one
ounce of sugar, one ounce of saltpetre.
Bw one ounce of the composition for
one pound of butter, it should be
Stamped and left to cool before pat
ting in jars. Butter prepared in this
way should cot be used for two or three
weeks. You will find that your but
ter will be very fine, as it will have no
brittle or salty look or taste. Ry fol
lowing this course your butter will keep
the year through, in warm as web as
bold weather.
The Route West Open.’ —The Nash
ville Union states that on Monday the
Nashville train arrived at Chattanooga
on schedule time, having passed over
H ,e |?®W bridge at Bridgeport. Com
munications are pow really open be
tween North and S.o.uth, and we may
I-ok for a revival of business of all
kinds. Too much praise cannot be 1
awarded to the officers pf the Nash
ville and Chattanooga railroad for their
energy in the completion of this
bridge.

THE SOUTH.
■ 1 *
Who can foretell her future destiny,
crippled as she is every part of her
once prosperous and harmonious or
ganization ? We know of no period in
our entire existence, when wu more
sincerely desired the gift of prophecy,
in order to truthfully place before our
people the actual condition of things
hereafter. It is not our happy lot,
however, to bs possessed of such a
high and holy attribute —it belongs to
another age. While we cannot divine
the future, through the prophetic glass
of a Daniel, we can at leust give our
imperfect opinion as to what we be
lieve awaits her.
She fought loner and well, suffered
much, and although her once proud
glorious still. Glorious in the con
sciousness of having contended for a
principle which she believed to be
right, and which her enemies will yet
acknowledge to be correct, as time
wears away the feverish heat of pre
judice and bad feeling. Her motto
now is, and ever will be, “ We will
TO. ist htr tip."
The great ar-d rapid change which
her social and political system has un
dergone, necossarily changes tho entire
face of all the influences with which
she was at one time surrounded. In
order theu to become what “ nature
and nature’s God” intended she should
be—a great' and happy nation—she
must live differently, cultivate the soil
differently, and worship the God of
her fathers differently. We simply
mean by this last proposition, tlfat she
must be more truthful nnd sincere in
her religious duties; for we honestly
believe, though not a professor, that
hypocrisy will eventually result In the
overthrow of any people, no matter
how much they may excel in wealth
and intelligence the balance of their
fellow beings.
There must be less extravagance in
dress —less finery nnd more of the sub
stantial of Jife. Southern spinning
.wheels and loon s must again be put
in motion, us in the days of the war
Thore is greater necessity for economy
now, in this respect, than there was
then, for much of the wealth of the
country that then existed, has been
destroyed by tho sad calamities of revo
lution. Fine dressing docs not make
the man nor the woman, however pie is
ing it may be to ourselves and the be
holder, but on the contrary, manifests
a very great weakness, and fvoquontly
leaves in lis waive, Ulsusixt uml ml.-,
This is particularly so when our means
are slender, and should be given to
other objects of more pressing neces
sity. There is nothing looks better,
to our eye, than a neatly fitting home
made coat or frock—it shows a desire
oil tho part of the wearers, to live
withiu the hounds of the r income, and
noithcr detmeta from the good sense
und sound judgment of the man, nor
the beauty and uccnuiplishmoms of the
lady—simplicity is always beautiful
and less expensive. \Ve have noticed,
with pain, much unnecessary extrava
gance since the close of lb i war. If
wo would thrive, it must cease, or our
present ruinous condition wili provo
doubly so.
The South must raise her own bread
and meat, nnd manufacture her own
clothing. She cannot do this and
raise all Cotton, as has been the prac
tice heretofore—Cotton must, to some
extent, be discarded. Raise the sta
ple by all means, but first of nil, raise
plenty of provisions. Had she pur
sued this eourse years ago, much of
the wealth now enriching tho North
nnd Northwest, would bo giving snste
nance and life to her own oppressed,
but chivalrio people. Cotton may he
King, but if lie is, it #ecms to us, thut.
he bestows the most of his favors on
those who only respect us for his sake.
YV’o trust tho dny (and we feel that it
has already come,) is not far distant,
when his kingship will be divested of
much of his huge proportions.
She must encourage und foster man
ufactures Os every grade nnd character.
Her resource's in this respect are un
bounded, and only need tho mugic
touch of the intelligent artizmi to still
more fully develops them. The'old
world will furnish this labor bounti
fully, if she will properly solicit it.--
•Capital, it is true, may bo inadequate
to accomplish much at this time, but
enorgy, industry and frugality will j
soon overcome present difficulties ■ bo i
sides, whenever capitalists can bo as
sured of n sate and profitable invest
ment, they will not be slow in taking
advantago of it. Manufactures the
South must have, or forever remain
tributary-to the North.
If she wi'l but do these things, which
we believe she will, aud even more, a
prosperous and happy future ie in st< re
for her at no distant day. Let her
then, work earnestly and energetically
perteot these noble and necesiary
objects—she can never attain any de
gree of greatness unless she docs. We
think we know the mettle of which tho
South i* oomfosed In no department
of life in which it has ever yet been
tried,.has it been found wanting in the
clear, genuine ring; qor will it b 0 go
in this tho day of her sad calamity
Butting her own shouWer to tho wheel,
through mire and mud, and every
other obstacle that may be plaocd iu
her way, she will move boldly forward,
and attuin tho enviable distinction of
the great, the prospe:ous, the happy
South.—[ Fqrim^n,

few days in Savannah, we leave the

The Editor of the Savannah RepkL

Savannah Advertiser, in which, after

where he now pens hi» editorials, eon
eludes by saying that he invested
eighteen thousand dollars in the Sr
Vannah Republican , nnd had lost ele
ven thousand of it in attempting to
sustain it as a Radial journal. He
also writes that if his friends in tho
North do not speedily come to his re
lief, ho will have to sell out to tho
“rebels.” Ho says he “sleeps under
the flag of the Union evory night ” in
jail, but alas! it brings no freedom for
him. “Tho way of the transgressor is

TUB CKI.EBKATION,
Last Saturday, the 4th iii»t.,*was in- !
deed a happy occasion fur the little
ones composing the .Sunday Schools of
the Methodist, Baptist and Prcsbyte- i
riun Churches. VVe have no doflht
that they will long remember it as one
of the pleasing incidents ol their early
jife. \Vc were once a Sunday School
scholar mtraelf, and the first celebra
tion, we ever attended is iode’ltliy
stamped on tnenicry’s tablet. The
views, perplexities and misfortunes, of
life, instead of clouding that blissful
period of our youthful existence, have
ouly served to make the impressions
we then and there rece-ved. deeper,
brighter, and stronger. That occasion
was to us a foretaste of Heaven, which
we have never since experienced and
.iften sighed for. The great good ac
complished by Sutday Schools, more
especially to the ooor, can never be
unfolded" in this life—it belongs to
eternity.
The day of whith we are speaking
was calm and lovty; while the atmos
phere, as each pissing bre«-ze cooled
the heated brow, seemed to have been
freshly sprinkled with the incense of
tnanv flowers.
At the liourof (wo o’clock, the schol
ars of the thite sshoul*, together with
the pastors, superintendents, teachers,
parents apd Irieids, assembled in the
Presbyterian ,C torch, whore, after
singing the Itytnpj “ Happy Greeting
to All,’'—the choir being led by Mr.
J. K. Baker—payer was qifored by
the Rev. J-. N.Otsley, which was fol
lowed by singing, “ Gamp in the Wil
derness.'’ Master William O. Murray
was then called to the stand, and al
ter a short RpOfcli, gave place to Mas- j
ter James Alexander—< aoh, little ora
tor acquitting himself in a creditable
maimer. Tito hymn, “ Our llappv
Home in Heavcnf was then sung, at
the conclusion of which, Master Chas
Merrill took hit place oil the rostrum,
and after couelijing, was followed by
Master Ricliart Hardaway—loth act
ing wall their part. “ Little Soldier
of the Cross-’' was then sung, and as
its Inst notes tlird awfy, Master Patrick
Shef'ton mounted th platform, and
was soon followed by Master Siut. Rem
ington. As it tho preceding cases,
both speakers did well, and this p-r
--tioii of the exercises terminated by
singingthe hyiin 4 Homeward Bound."
'l'hc Rev. Mr. Ciisby, Pastor of fche
Presbyterian (llutreb, then delivered a
short and appropriate address.
A blessing being invoked by tho
Rov. Mr Oust.-v, and the hymn “Walk
in the Light ’ sung, the proceedings
at the Church were cfos and.
The assenitUge tliyn repaired to the
shady grove fronting the Methodist
Parsonage, where a rich and bountiful
collation was rapidly spread, and as
rapidly disappeared.
As expressed ill the opening by fun,
!( wn« Irnly “A Or to
All.” Joy beamed from every eye,
and heart seemed linked with heart.

Gen. D. H. Hill on the Situation.
TOO RyEUMAXIC TO .XUiiN
SOMERSAULTS.
The following sentiments of Gene
ral D. II Hill, who, bke Lee, Early,
-Jenkins, Ijbhafke® Berry, Blartin,
Clanton, and a host of others, was an
original opponent oT seccoSion, are ta
ken from crditovials ih the May num-
Ijcv of ‘■'The. Jumd We Love:"
The -disfranchised class have no pp
litiool aspiritions atn( no lamentations
over their situation. There is not one
of them whs is not willing to have, as
a ruler, an original Union man of
principle aud integrity, sueh«s Moore,
of North Uarolina ; Berry-, es South
Carolina; Jenkins, of Georgia; and
Sharkey, of Mississippi. But we fear
that we may get an old fire-eater,
newly dressed up in the sfar-spaagled
banner, with an eagle leather in bis
bat, who Says Yankee-Doodle as a
grace before at, and Hail Columbia
as a thanksgiving after it. Better a
military ruler for a c-*ntury Utah a sin
gle term of such a matt! The military
ruler has no partizans to reward t and
n . enemies to gratify.
The fair presumption is, that he
will be just and. impartial, having gj
I controlling motive but a sense of duLy v
There is not one of the five districts in
j so unhappy a condition to-day as is
! Tennessee in the Union.
It becomes, then, the imperative
duty of voters to choose true men, not
turn-coats . and weather.cocks ; iintt
I whose consistent Unionism will bit

Letter from Thaddeus Stevens,
Waship-rton, April 27. —The health
of lion. Thaddeus Stevens is much
improved, and he expects to leave her©
for Beunsylvania nest week. He to
day wrote a letter for publication, t*.
king for It is subject the following ex
tract trpm a notice qf Senator Henry
Wilson’s recent speech near Hampton
Roads : • -
He (Mr. Wilson) said there would
be no .impediment to Southern repres
erira-jun in Congress if they elected
Union men, and closed bis remarks by
saying that he would leave Virginia
with the lull conviction that a llepub
lirud Governor, Legislature and two
HeiWtfbrs would be elected.
Mr. Steven* comments' on this as
follows;
Washington, April 27.-—Such arti
cles ate calculated to do much harm.
They throw obstacle* in the way of
. t’afure reconstruction, bt ; ing quoted
I and relief oil as pledges by the Rc
tHtbJiean party. Hence much trouble
a{UA from certain loose and indefinite
I expressions contained in a bill which
was, reported- by the Reconstruction
! OummiUtettf the Thirty-ninth Cougretu
th- never passed It was perver
• ted by fiction and folly into an argu
ment against the whole party and (Jon*
gross. This generally arises from th*
I Carelessness of the reporters—tome
i times,doubtless, from tbe inadvertance
I of the speaker.
Mr man should make promises for
’tbe patty. By wlut authority docs
anytime say that by the election of
! loud delegatesyhey will be admitted?
| By what authority say that Virginia
wii! elect two loy.l Senators, while in
i truth there is no Virginia. Much is
j to be det-e by the*people and Congress,
before any, Representative, or Senator,
- (jr Stab- egu be. recognized. Who am
, fl’.oriw and any Orator to say there would
he oo conlisc-itiwii, a*in another place?
flies© things are too flippantly said.-
Think they had better bo gravely
' iintidrred. Who is authorized to travel
‘.the country and peddle out amnesty?
1 would say so the most guilty “except
tntnutim iit and then quietude; but
. tics) a mild confiscation to pay those
I who have been robbed by ai*loyal
’ meu ’J’liesit ate my wishes, and
