MWSON JOURNAL. DAWSON, GA. JAN. IS. 1866. To Adverti«K-r*. We l ava nTrained, ho far, fn in blowing abo it our circulat o*, and do not “blow.”now, but, notwithstanding tbe fact that our Hint volume is not yot ended, we can eat üblish our elves ic the announcement that the Dawson Journal goes bi fore more readers than nuy otter paper in Southwestern Georgia. We have no*, made this an nouncement eithor until we have as eared ourselves of its truthfulness.— Let advertisers make a note of this, nud govern themselves accordingly. Gan.

A Texas City.— HouMm, Texas, b< Lrc the war bad only 5,000 inhabi tants. They now number 30,000.

We are at loss to know where they ail come fretn. But the best of all is, they have, mostly got money, and are buying up the vacai t blocks around the city, with the idea tion cf building on them.” Pennsylvania U. S. Senator.— The throwing < v rboar J of Governor Curtin and Thaddeus Stevens, and the nomination of Simon Cumeron for P. 3 Senator, by the Pennsylvania Re publican*, is, ] crimps, a favorable sign , of the times. Ah are Bepubliians, but then Cumeron *as an old line Democrat and is understood to be far less radical than l.is competitors Cameron will be o’ected, and ia in a position to pur ue a far more moder ute course than cilh r Curtiu or Ste vens, who have rec- nt'y vied Aitheach other in demonstrating their hatred of the South. Macon Western & Railroad — Tho Telegraph says : The election cf a Board of Directors for the year 1867 took place Tuesday, and resulted as follows : A. J. White, President. directors : N. G.

The labor question has assuxed quite a serious aspect in this section.— We hear complaints from almost every quarter of Terrell and the surrounding counties, of the scarcity of hands.— We have seen a number of men going to Macon and bevon 1 there to hunt for freeedmen Wo have been inform ed of a number of farms which usually work forty and fifty hands, on some of which there are not a dozen, for this years’crop. This state of things is what wo li ivo been looking for, and wh-t we have more than once warred our readers of, in speaking of the im portance of an efiurt to dis. ipate the all-pervading idea of the freed men to take a wi and gocse chase “up the coun try.” Ar officer of ‘.he S. W. Railroad, the other day, gave it as h’s opinion that not less than ten thousand freed men had been transported over the real since the laying by of the last years’ crop. This will give some idea of the rate at which the cotton fields of Southwest Georgia have been strip ped of their laborers. Some still entertain the idea that even in time for the present year’s planting the fieedmcn will flock back ; and they may to u small extent, but we shou'd remember that we have the rich Mississippi bottoms, and other sections in which negro labor is equal ly profitable, to compete with, and un less the inducements held out by the people of those sections are coun’er balenced by us, the mgro, looking to self-interest, will continue to leave here. Hence we have, from the outset, nrg ed upon our readers the great impor tance of concluding satisfactory con tacts with the negroes for an ther y ear’s lab >r. Whether this ehange, on the part of the negro, will be to his advantage, ultimately, is not the question for us now to consider— bu': whether or not ho can be induced to be’ieve such is the case, should more particularly en gage our minds just at tuis time. Our own opinion is that this is the vety beat portion of the United States lor the negro, and that his labor can be used to more profit to the land-ho'der than elsewhere; and this conviction in duces the belief that in t'me the ne groes will flock back here. But just at this particular time, and under tho pecuniaiy circumstances that surround us, we can illy afford to lose one crop to erder to try the experiment. The Impeachment iTfovemeii', Spirit o( the Republican Press. It is interesting to read and to know ■he opinions and expressions of the baling radical [less up u t’ e n iVjibc t recently inancurated by tho faction in the Housr of Representatives at Wasb ing'on to impeach the President. We, then fur*, offer co apology for occupy ing a portion of our space to-day with extracts f,oa> these Journals on the ajlj i t. We comminco with the Cincinnati Commercial , hy far tbe ablest Journal of its parly wist sf the Allegbaniop, which in-iist that the movement wilt hang fire in the hands of the Judiciary Committe, and cannot fur want of time, if there were no other obsticlcs or ob structions in the way, be acted upon by the present Congress. In reference to the succeeding one, which will assemble on the 4 ! h day of ibe ensuing March the Commercial says; “What the fortieth Congress will do wo can beitrr determine after its < rgan 'zatioa. It will certainly bo more rad ical than the present on, end it is not impossible that it may undertake im peachment, if not 100 greatly alarmed by the indications of the gold barometer. The Wall street indicator will be watch ed with as much eagerness as the pro gress of the tiial in the Senate Cham ber." The New York Tribune— honest Greely—deprecat.s tie movement cf the Congressional marhes as calculated to injure “tbe party,” of which it Dever loses sight—fur without “the pa ty” what would the Tribune be? But in exprrs ingi s disapproba’ion, that Jour n 1 of course, indulges in a few'tings at the President. It tays : There is nothing now to be gained 'hy impeachment. President Johnson has been a bad President, but also a I foolish one. Wo have lad a Chief ! Magistrate doing all he could to destroy the party which elected him, and at the same time all ho could to destroy himself. If President Johnson ha* been an enemy of R pub icanism, he has also be;n an enemy ts himse’f. He 'did much against the party hut the elections left nothing of him. lie was | left politically dead—scarcely worth j burial. He was looked upon as a de feated and disappoiu'ed schemer; B‘ill |he had a large party at Lh back. In , this country, the shortest political road is that which leads irora a majority to j a minority. Our party w ill take this road when it resbly begins impeach ment. That cm only revive President Johnson’s dying fortunes and give h'm what he wants, sympathy, und the chance to make a defensive war. “Could the President l e removed ? General Butler made an ingoneous ar gument during the' elcctii n to show that, upon amere]pretentation of t rtieles iof impeacbmeut, the Senate might de ! pose the President and place another 'person in his office daring the trial. j'Butler's argument was ingenuous, but we pesume there are twen’y lawyers J who can make an argument as ingeni ous on the other side. Th?ro is not J a definite law about it, «nd President! ( Johnson is not the mtin to surrender! the benefit of a doubt. Those whu i think he will quietly walk out of the | White House at the bidding of the ma 1 jnii'v of the Senato, miit .ke the man and the depperato character of the ad venturers who conttol his fortunes. We next have (lie New York Time 3 , which is evidently somewhat startled, and getting ready to make another break round the circle. While generally obeying the behest of the Jacobins, the Times cannot help showing a litilo ner vousness atths boldness of the'r d,s : gns and the sensation and effect they pro duce in Wall striet, for the money kings of which it is said (be entire radical press of New Yolk have a decided par tiality, if not a who] some drea'b la reguard to the little cliqua of impeach ers, Mr. Raymond’s paper says : ‘lf it. Lethe detirini ration of two or three members who might bo named, to car ry out the schemes they have concocted for the impeachment of the President, then the sul ject, so far as the action of the House is erneerned, may be consid ered as settled in advance. If Bjutwtll: adheres to what he has recently pro claimed—if A.-nley maintains the ground he has so determinedly assumed—ls Wentworth, and Logan, and Tbadcus Stevens hold to tin position they hive taken up within a short time—:nen t ie majority which will follow ituso may he estimated by just about the strength |of the party in Congress. It may all seem very well to these lead rs to in dutge, in will an 1 ex nvagint language in furious outbursts, and violent denun ciations, and to propose schemes calcu- lated to upset thirgs generally. Bat there are others who are quite as much interested in these matters as members of Congress, and who are beginning to apprehend that there maybe peril to ■ the couLt y from its control by those whose political principles are so uubil- 1 arced, and whose resentments and pas. sions find such violent expression Thi ! course that has been pursued upon the impeachment busiuess. the spiiit that has bean displayed in its treatmeut, and 1 the progress within t few days in mak ling it a matter cf practical legis'etion and action, have added greatly to thes. apprebeosious. It is looked up o a such a gratuitous di turbi n e of the peace of the c uotry • such a pr ag - ing of "tir political diffieul i"S ; such an uncalled-for inteifoience wiib our pro gress tiwarl harmonicas relation*, and such a dangerous procelure, that i cin bereg: rlcdon y ;:s Le woik f tb<to who care nothing for the public welfare anti are in*ent ouly upon their owu tel! i->h ends.’’ Wc misfit multi;.ly these oxtrae's from leading and itifiner.tii, 1 11-publican journals, to show the light in which tLo moverneut unci r consideration is re garded by the n ore into! igint and sob r minded men of the party. But tloso made above w !1 an»wer our purpi se tor to day, and to help to impress th ; read er with the convict'o ', which we hav entertained nud expressed from the fi st that the attempt to impeach thor Resi dent, will hardly anouut to any thing mote serious than to bring its auth ~rs into general ridicule and coot- mpt at home, and to perhajs wc: ken ai.d i jure tho national credit abroad. [For The Dawson Journal.] How Shall He Retain la borers f The great demand for laborers on the thousands of cotton plantations in the State of Georgia, and the cotstaet drain for the Southwest, to say nothing of ihose going North, makes tho above querry quite an interesting ore—not inly to the farmer, but also to every branch es trade, for without cotton to bring money into the country, the merchant and mechanic will alike foe! the loss. Our section, all admit read ily, prolutes grain in small comparison to the graineriea of tbe West —Our on ly hope of rallying from the pecuniary distress, caused by tho war, is in our co'ton lands, yet the lands if them selves are wotsa than useless; they are curse without lake r. I can only esti mate the and, fi ioDcy in laborets f o u my own neighborhood, and can sifely say that, one half of the laborers arc gone- Hi fleet, this is only the second year of their freedom What may we not ex pect in January, 1808 with the pres ent lights before ns and in 1870. Who will till our soil ? the inducements held out by planters from the Mississippi Valley, will draw all tbe working freed men there, and leave us only tho re fuse, the dioac°. If they Lire, our lands will not justify us in paying the wages that they can obtain on the banks of Bad River. We must try some other mode of compensation— some o'ber inducement, or suffer the consequence. Wo must attach the negro to us. By tho lav sos Georgia, the negro is guaranteed all the rights of a white mr.n, before the law he is made square, but the bitter truth most be tolJ : Wt do not feci under any ob ligation to see his right sustained. We ook an the law as having been passed under duress without our consent, and while we feel that it is thedu'y cf the judge to see it carried out, yet Wc can not feel that we have any interest in tbe matter. Wc give our noe the hen. efit o? always being right. This is natural. This is what we must do so cially, but the matter stands in a differ ent light, when we tbiuk of having no j one to lalor, when the grass is choking < out the cotton. Tho negro is a freed- I man, he has the right es locomotion, and if he is mistrusted here, he has his revenge double, when he leaves us ulone to toil through the midsum mer. Cannot interest sugg;stsom3 mode of distroyirg our auti| atby to a “free negro in his present usefulness? Can we not overlook tho insults once heap ed upon us, when they were declared Iree ? because he once lelt us to man age our farms, or“lcok out for help.” Shall we dri.o him away from our couotry, before his place can be sup plied ? We are doing so, by first, not attempting to recognize the education of their children. Whilo Ido not think it worth much to them from the natural stupidity as a raco, yet it will do much good to them to think that the “vTliite folks” want to encourage them to learn to read. The negro is per fectly able to pay f-ir the expense of education, the only difficulty is, that our fellow citizens aro not willing to al low us to teach negro schools. Wc do not openly oppose it, yet frown down every attempt of au honorable mini to begin the enterprise, and thus prevent any “savo pupils from New England schools” from undertaking tho task. Tois muit not be. Eaeourago some responsible person in every communi ty to open a school for them, and let the employers be responsible for his compensation. This will prevent the negro from boarding h a money, as ma ny our to* doing, to keep from work duiing the cold season, having discern ment to know that he can hire at any lime. It will soon be an enquiry of the negro when you try to hire him. “have you any school for my children to go to 1 x nd woe to that neighborhood that has to answer in the negative. Y'ou will at least pay higher wages. How many a crippled soldier would like to support himself thus, if the rules of society would allow it ? 2nd. —We must provo ourselves the' i egro’s real friend, ia contradistinction to the shallow prentensioos of the Rad icals—how this must be done, will dc |cnd on tbe character of the negro, and the circumstances of each particular • ase, to be judged cf by these be is counectcd with. Sound judgement and a careful study is all tha; is required. Furmi rs, if you expeat to hire any tiauds next year, or even rent or sell your lands, be careful how you manage y< ur present employees. Just allow your band to say, “he is a hard man to get a’ong with,’’ and y\ u may as well quit firming. lam not a farmer, nor do I want to take a negro school, but would mere ly throw out a few suggestions, to be aeted upon by the great thinking mul.i tude.

Money paid for labor, except such as is employed in domestic fe - vice l , or in the production of articles consumed in the family of the producer may be dedactel. 5. No deduction can be allowed in any case for the cost of unproductive labor. If house servants are employed a portion ofthe time in proluotivo la bor, such as the making of butter and cheese for sale, a prnpoitionate* amount for the wages paid them may be deduct ed. 6.
