Plti PBCETOES. Gkoroia Conference.— This body, which ban been in session at Americus for the pant week, on the 3d inst., af ter considerable debate, ndopted the report of the Committee, on the divis ion of the Conference, which report farorsd the division. The majority in favor of this division was fifteen The Lubor Question. The various speculations as to who shall in the future t 11 tho sail of the South, when not base! upon the idea that tho negroes in our midst, dr the owners of the land themselves are o do it appear to us extremely nonsensical. While it may have been well enough for the old system ot slavery, as it ex isted, to have boon dono awaj with; ye tho idea that the negro »u-t have bis natural sphere, aud others take his place in this country, is, it seems to us, at least unreasonable. Custom in eivilized countries, has rendered it necessary to have a class to take the place of “hewers of wood and drawers ot water”—or servants. Afri can slaverey—or the basis of natu ral inferiority—is the only system that has ever worked harmoniously, and tho only one that ever will. Whil» the so cial status of the negro has been alter ed, so far as the poli:ical enactment can altar it; yet bis relatationship to the white race, remains virtually the same. And until cur people will embrace and set upon the idea that the negro is still to raise cotton, corn, e'e , though under a different system of labor, and abandon lha idea of supplying his place from other lands, we do not expect to see agriculture pursued with very satisfac tory results. While the troth of these statements must be pa cot to cverj thinking man, it seems strange to ui that so many people rather enoourago the negroes to leave this section in search of a better. Nor, we hold that we have particular need for every negro in our midst; and at the same time it is to the advantage of the negro to remain with us; for in no other country will his work ul timately prove so valuable, or the de mand for it so permanent. We regret to sec that so many plan ters waiting for “something to turn up,” are allowing these golden moments for the hiring of freedmen for next year to pass by unimproved; and for the same reason, to see so many negroes placing themselves in s condition to want for sgreeable situations—and, msy be, for meat and bread—the next year. This backwardness on the part of so many to employ for the next crop, is causing many negroes to be allured by bright promises to other sections—imvitable ia most cases, to regret the changes We hold that political enactment can not alter the lews of nature, or carry the fertile soil of one section into another. The bread and meat qaestien is one that will always govern itself. Then let let as lay aside the doubts and fears of politisal fluctuations,, and determine to inform eur uatural advantages, what ever may take plaee in the political world. Let us ass the negro in the proper way and he will prove as valuable as he ever did. CONTRACTION Os THE CdRBSNCT The Seoretary of the Treasury is deter aeined te contract the currency as fast as Congress will allow. The reserve fund of $50,000,000 which the law au thorised to be iesned to redeem tempo rary lotas, and,the $10,000,000 allowod by Congress to te.withdrawn within six months from the 12th of April, have baen retired, and also the first iattall. meat of $40,000,000 which the law provided might hereafter be withdrawn monthly, leaving about $386,000,000 of government legal tenders now in cir oalation. Emigration vbom Georgia to Tbx as.— The Houston, Texas, Telegraph aommentiDg upon the immense influx of emigrants to that State, says that •ne gentleman alone bas a thousand souls, white people altogether, on the way from Georgia to his lands in Tria ls county in that State. It says also that Southern tern Texas is being elensely populated by emigrants from all tha Atlantia and Gulf States. The exodus i ohi th's State, if true, must be confined to the Nor hern portion, as ws ure set appritsd if the existence es the “Texas saver” in either Middle or Fentbern Ctorgia, Preutice on the Situation. Tho fallowing we copy from the Lou- Journal of recent dato; and while wo may differ with tho writer on some points, we must S'iy it is the most sensible advice we have yet seen to em anate out-iJe of D:x e “Tho people of the South beyoDd all question, aro most unfortunately situa ted, and we politically cannot eeo any improvement or special sign of improve ment in their situation, but thero never has been a time when the proper policy to ba pursued by them was in out opin ion more obvious thsn it is now. We do rot sea that thiy have need to cboso btftwoen alternatives ; there appears to be but one wieo and sensible curses before them, and that one is a wise and straight forward one. Shut rut by It id ical intolerance from all share in the management of the poLtieal affairs of the country, excluded from all repre en tation in the National Legislation ex cept on conditions involving voluntary humilliation and degredation, treated as a conquered people unfit for self gov ernment, taxed under laws that they are allowed no agency in framing, their on ly, the only policy as we can conceive, consistant with their dignity and in keeping with thoir self-respect, is to dis mi s political matters for the present for an indefinite period from their thoughts, aod give their whole atten tion to the mending of their broken fortunes, to saving whatever can be saved from tbo wrecks and desolations of war> and to covering their unhappy sections with that virdurc and luxuriance that adorned them before this ill-starred war. That is a pursuit which they can adopt with honor, pride, and profit, and none will dare to interfere with, or molest them in tho prosecution *f it. They can soon trake their lives, as it were Arca dian, all unmarred by the political strife and discords and wranglings, that throughout more than a century and a half, have been among the great evils and curses of our country. Their soil is the richest, the most productive coun try in all the world, the earth is more beneficent and generous to them than the rest of her children, and as poou as they can repair the ruin brought upon them by tho marches and battles or conflicting armies, they will, if they aro wise, have abundant cause to exult in their prosperity, notwithstanding the injustice inflicted on them by the guant letted hand of remorslcss power. They can give their attention successful ly to all the branches off reductive in dustry, reckless ts ail the wild, idle, far-off roar of political contention, and bearing, with far more political ease, than their Northern tyrants, all the pe cuniary burdens of the Government, however unrightly laid on them. The people north of Mason & Dixon,B line, are engaged constantly in political conflicts, they mako the air resound witl their cries aud shouts of partizan war fare, they elect men, not unfrcquently the worbt they can find, to > nact laws in Congress; hut let ary one tell if bo caD, good it all does them. It is no privilege to fight, as tho Northern Radicals fight, and to be represented at Washington, as they are represented. Such representatives as they have, are incomparably worse than no representa tives at all. Congress has been for some time, tho most contemptible leg islative body ia existence, and it is growing more and more contemptible all the while. If things keep on thus, twero better that it should be abolished. It can do the North no good, and its power to harm the South is exhaus ted. In respect to the South, it is like an electrical eel, with all its benumding electricity discharged and without ca pacity lorreeuperation- It his expend ed all its arrows, and has no quiver but a quiver of rage. Having passed in dc fiancce of the Executive veto, tbe Civil Rights Bill, and the Freedmcn’s Bu reau Bill, it has only to stop just where it is in its tyranicle Let the people of the South then, be calm, pa tient, self-reliant, and hopeful.” The Labob Question. —The editor of the Deerville South has been read ing a great deal of Southern editorial and correspoudental wiiting on the subject of labor, and finds that while some advise us to “hang on to tbe ne gro,” others talk about obtaining “a supply of labor from tbe toiling milli 'ns of Europeothers want “to procure intelligent labor,” while many look anxiously to China and Ilindostan fur relief. Not one talks of our doing the work oureeives. The foreigners, the coolies and the freedmen are all very well in their way but neither the one nor the other, nor all of them, will supply the great void of labor, while w« ourselves continue to talk, grumble, loaf and brag about what we used to be. Tbe stubborn truth of (he matter is this, that Southern men and women and their children have got to go to work, if they may reasonably expect to repair ttieir shattered fortunes, and render “the land we love,” other than a Jamaican or Haytien waste.

Mili.xdokvit.’-s Dec 8J Editors Journal: It was no doubt a great relief to the House of Repreronta tives to get til of the relief question. The subject rocoupied the attention of the House pretty much all day last Fri day. The bill as it passed may be sum med up in a very few word-.: it rep. ala the stay law so far as it author zes (he creditor to collect onc-fourth next Janu ary, and postpones the time to Jauuarj Ist, 1868, when one third may be col lected, arid one-third on tho first of Jan uary, 18G9 and 1870. This wr believe is the material feature of the bill which wo will publish hereafter. Hills continue to pour into both h us es, and if all presented are duly delib- ( erated upon, it must require quite a a lengthy session. On to-day a message was received from Dis Excellcnoy returning without approval, r till to repeal ad Act regulat-! ing tho sales of spirituous liquors in Stewart county ; and alter the transfer of licenses in said county on tho ground that two object matters were in the bill and they were not expressed in tho title I Tho spocial order in the House to- day was a hill to regulate the manner of giving in lands lor taxation, they must be given in by number, section and district.

Last evening about 7 o’clock the alarm of fire was sounded and in a few seconds a flame was seen bursting through the roof of Mr. Goff’s Family Grocery Store, a frame buildiug cn | Broad Street, ibout tho middle of the Hock between Bray’s corner and (he' Cbewalla House, and adjoining the News Office. We were passing along the street in front of our office at the time the alarm was given and immedi ately ran up in the office and thence to the roof of tbe building, when we dis covered that the tin rootling was near ly red hot and that the plank sheeting had been on fire some time. We aban doned the idea of saving the building though it could havo been done in ten minutes with a fire engine, or a ready supply ot water, and proceeded to save what we could of our books, typo, paper, and other articles easily moved. Ws succeeded in moving only a small pot tion of cut material in a most damaged condition. Our cylinder and band presses, standing press, racks and a great deal of other printing material was burnt. The little saved is in such a condition as to render it almost worth less. Our building and its contents were the labor of twenty years, and in an hoar it was all turned to ashes. Our loss is between ten and fifteen thousand dollars, as we were not insured. Tho frame buildings owned by Dr. Thornton east of onr office, occupied by Mr. Gtff, as a family grocery store Dr. Thorntons office, and the store of H. Rich were all soon destroyed. The occupants, however, saved nearly all their goods etc , but ia a very damag ed condition. We do not know what their losses will be. The fire did not extend beyond Mr. Rich’s store, owing to an opening on the street just east of it.— The Wellborn Brothers, although the building they occupied was not destroy ed, yet they moved all their stores out and, of course, sustained considerable loss. Adjoining our office on the west was the brick building owned by Cato and Robinson and occupied below by P. O’Byrne, as a bar and restaurant, and above as a billiard room, also by Mr. Jenkins as a business office. These par ties saved nearly all their effeots. Mr. O’Byrne however, lost his billiard ta bles and sustained a total loss of about $3,500. From the building the fire ex tended to the two large brick stores owned by Mr. W. N. Reeves, and occu pied below by Mr Laiaron, as a dry goods and millinery store and by Mr. McGinty ass Drug Store. Above were tbs Dentist offices of Dr’s. Plant and. Robertson, Booth’s Photograph Galhry Dr. Drewrj’s office aod Mr. Whitlock’s jowerly store. All es these parties sus tained mors tt le*B loss in hurriedly mov ing their goods to the street, exposing them to a light rain which was falling all the while. Mr. Reeves was insur ed for SSOOO, but Lis loss trill bo fully §15,000. When it was seen that these two large buildings could not bo saved, they were blown up, hoping thereby to check the rapid advance of the fire toward the partially new and elegant Hardcware store of Bray & Bro. But the effort was fruitless, as the intense heat pro duced by the lnllen roof soon communi cated with and totally destroyed it. The Messrs. Bray saved nearly all their very large stock, but like tho others will loose heavily in moving their goods. They were insured for 35,000, but it is hard to tell whet their loss will be. Tho destruction of the fire here stop ped, but on Randolph street just above , Bray’s corner, were several frame law . offices, aud a tailor shop and variety store, all of which were torn down, or ' nearly destroyed to prevent the fire from spreading to the Planter’s Ware house, which is nearly full of cotton. Altogether the fire is one of the heav iest blows our little city ever received. It has ruined nearly an entire block and inflicted a loss (f about $75,000 1000,- 000. We ask tho indulgence of our read ers abroad until we caD again greet them with the News, which will be in a week or two. The proprietor, Mr. Black, has already left to buy material, and wc hope soon to issue a paper that will command the support of all. P. S. We are requested by several parties to return their most sincere thanks to the freedmen and others who so kindly, nobly and generously labored to save their property. To those who assisted us in saving a portion of our office, we can but acknowledge a feel ing of the most proround gratitude. Eu/aula Newt, Extra, 28/A. From Washington. Washington, Dec. 3.—Both Houses of Congress met to-day at an early hour. Crowds of people were on thoir way to the Capitol, and by noon the gal leries of both Houses were densely crowded. There was a quorum present, and punctually vt 12, presiding officers of both Houses appeared and tailed their respective branches to order. The Senate was opened with prayer by its chaplain, Mr. Grey, and the House by Boynton. Credentials of Messrs. Burnett and Roberts, from Texas, were lain on the table. Sumner moved to take np the bill to establish n-gro suffrage in the District of Columbia, saying, the people of the country demanded its passage, atd would hail it with joy. Astir slight discussion, the Chair decided tlat the motion to take the bil* up was not in order. Among the bills intnduccd was one by Chandler, requesting the President to communicate to the Senate whether the Emperor of tho French had complied with the simulations entered into with our government relative to the with— ! drawal of the Frrnth tcoops Iron; Mex- I ico. The message cf the President was communicate! about 2, and read by the Seeretary. After the adoption cf the usual motion to print it, the Senate ad journed. A resolution was infrodneed into the House by Elliott, of Mass , providing for the appointment of a standing com mittee on freemen. Stevens presented a bill regulating re movals from office. It provides that in all cases of appointment, where consent of the Senate is neoessary, the Presi dent shall not make removals while tho Senate is in session unless concurred in by that body. Appointments made duriug rcoess must be submitted, under the provisions of this bill, within ten days after the Senate assembles, for confirmation. Bill made special order for Friday next. Boutwell introduced a bill to authorize the Seoretary of the Treasury to sell out at public auction, in New York, $2,000,000 in gold on Monday of each week in lots not ex ceeding 10,000. The following meas ures were also introduced and referred to appropriate committees. One to pro vide by general law for modes of pro cedure in trials forimpeachment before the Senate. One oalling on the Presi dent for information relative to the ap plication of Confederate General Pickett for pardon. The day was con sumed entirely with the introduction of resolutions and bill until the arrival of the message, before which Stevens made an ineffectual motion to adjourn.

The Tumble in Prices. — The ques tion with the specula’ors at this time is not how much they will make on their ventures, bin it is how lengthey can stand tho downward movement in prices It is certain that they cannot stand tho pressure much longer. Already we bear that a few weak concerns have top- pled over, and a number of others are on the verge of a failure. Th is state of things covers the whole field of specu lation, from gold and stocks, down to pc-rk and beans. Coal, dry goods, gro ceries, Produce, in fact, everything in the wholesale market, is oa the down ward rode, and business of all kinds is almost at a stand still. All classes of dealers who havo stock on hand are alarmed at the state of the market, but the speculators who had bought large stocks in the expectation of advancing prices when the winter should set in are almost in a panic. How long will it last ? The general imprcfß’on among the merchants is that the decline will only be temporary, and that it will bo followed by a sharp reaction. There is no certainty however of the corrtct iioss of that conclusion. The salesmen who have just been out throughout the eountry report, that trade throughout the rural districts is re dull as in the city, and that tho merchants there have ample stocks of goods. If this be so. what is there to enliven trade in the city ? We can hardly think that the long impending financial crisis is at hand, but it is useless (o deny that theie are maDy signg pointing strongly in that direction.— N. Y. Sun. A Submarine Aquahuct.— The Chicago people are rejoicing over the substantial completion of their grand scheme for supplying themselves with pure water, wbieh was commenced in June 1864. Hitherto the city bas de pended for its water supplies upon tho fluid as taken from the city margins of Lake Michigan, but as Chicago grew in population, this water became more polluted by the drainage of the town, carrying into it every species of filth, and refuse from Domestic Manufactu ring and business establishments. To remedy this, a shaft of iron and brick has been pushed from the city under the bottom of tbe lake, for the distance (f two miles, where it terminates in a re servoir surmounted by a light-house and thus pure water is conducted from a poiV beyond the region of defilement by tbe wash and drainage of the city. This tunnel was pushed forward from both termini, being commenced at the lake end by sinkiug a crib and oopper dam from which the water was exhaus ted, laying bare the bottom of the lake for exeavation to the desired depth, and the construction of a foundation of ade quate strength and solidity. From thence the shaft was pushed forward to meet the shore end, and so perfect was the engineering, that when the ends met, the level of each was fonnd to be precisely the same, and tbe lateral va riations not more than eighteen inches. The cost of the wotk, everything includ ed, will be about SBOO,OOO. Mrs. Susan Troll was burned to ■ death on Wedneeday evening, by the explosion of a kerosene lamp.
