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. /V?

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, it necessary to spend a few days in Savannah, we leave the Enterprise to he cpndacted by our able foreman, 3fr. R. W. Murray, whose prolific pen will furnish food for our readers during t'he brief period.

A .SM ASHING BUjtfNfifclS. The Editor of the Savannah RepkL liran, John E.

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 hard.” Even the univeisal flag of j the Onion, cannot screen tho patriot ' and martt/r from the stern demons of 1 justice 110 bites his lips at his North- I ern friends, gnashes his teeth nt the 1 stern quiet reblt, but boils over witji i wrat.li and indignation nt Andy John- ! son. and vows that he will rot it. jail before he will pay the S9OO fine ini- ! posed by the Court. w j EDITOR OF THE ARGUS.

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.

WM. CLINK, Clerk, 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 !

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.
