The negroes seem to be much belter contented now ttan they were alout Christmas; and consequently tho pros pects for good crops aro much better now than then. What shall we do ? What cud we do ? are iuteiMgations of every hon cat white man in these days of confusion and military despotism. We would say go boldly and manfully to work in every sense of the word. Work for yourselves and your dependents. Work to thwart tho cowigdly and before un heard of hellish designs that the Radi cals are cow reeking to impose upon the brfve and noble hearsed men of the South—men whom they dared not in. suit until they were fettered and bound down by the chains of military despo tism. If it is in your power to prevent it, do not tolerate the damning disgrace wbioh ihcj are endeavoring to fasten up on you ted your posterity. Go to work and apply, with the u'most exer tion, all the means with which nature and art have so bountifully supplied you, believing that the dictates of reason and the light of trnth will yet prevail. The State Capitol. A vigorous iffort, with some chance of success, is being made to have the Btate Capitol removed to Atlanta. The city coutcil, at its last meeting, adopted tho following, which, if accepted, will enable the nixt Legislature to assemble io this ci’y wiihout the leas: embarrass meet, so far as the neerssary buildings are concerned :— lntelligencer. Whereas, A proposition is now pend ing before the B:a.e Convention now iu aession in this city, to remove the Capi tol to Atlanta; therefore, Resolved, That we hereby tender tho use of the City Hal! for the use of the Btate Legislature, aud all buildings nee csuiiiy for State officers, free ol all cost, for the space of five years If the City Ilall is not acceptable we propose to fit up other comfV rtable quar ters for the use of the Legislative ses sions for the above mentioned time. Would it not be better to let the Cap itol remain at Milledgeville and remove the Penitentiary end I unatic Asylum to Ail»Eta. as it would save trouble and exp-ncc cf transportation <f thi vesand lunatics to Miilcdgevtlla, toile u- Thc ra; id vud wonderful l ist, in cot ton, say? tho C< lumbus Sun, together with the action of Congress in the ro le so of the tax o 0 the nut emp, have excited apprehension* thet Mir planters may bo induc'd to make another iff rt to retrieve the-r lost fort owes by large j planting*. From what wo bate been i enabled to gethor, Ibis apprehension i? I unfounded, so far as this section if C'n cerned. It is but fair to say, that the j e mntry contiguous to Columbus has j p reduced a larg< r crop to the area pLn- | ted and the 1 amis hired, during the past two season*, than any other section of j tbe c '.ton growirg region. Y«* with this advantage, our plauters are impov erished and greatly discouraged, and we do not think they will make further attempts ftl financial suicide. Thtre is not grain sutli i uit in the country to support stock and labor for another crop of heavy proportion-, and the pros pects are that the labor will be more un reliable than ever. It is proboble that an election will be held in Georgia just about the time f r cotton planting.— This will demoralize the negroes, and as the Presidential campaign will open soon thereafter, with its meetings, speeches and political maneuvsring gen erally, ho will be a for uuatc mau and ago and manager who can eantrol labor sufficient to make a crop. There is no telling how Eng cotton may hold its present prices, or anything approaching them. The market is as : tcudei as an exotic, and withers as \ quick under adversity. The present Congress can put the tax back whenever ’ it desires. It was removed not from a spirit of justice, but fur political consid erations alone. The way to fortune by ; large cotton planting is beset with fear ful difficulties, if net.bar.ed with im possibilities Success, moderate suc cess, may still be found iu a judicious | culture of small crops, after all atten tion has been bestowed upon ot-reals.— As apropos to this most important sub ject, we app: Ld the I llowing extraot from a late number of the Southern Recorder, which embodies the true phi losophy of the question. It runs as follows: A let cr from an intelligent gentle man under date Baltimore, Fobruaiy 13, to one of the editors of the R cold er, says the people here are V' rj coufi dent of the success of the Democratic party at the next Bics.dentiai election, and ws believe if we only hold out un lil then our righis will be secured. They av “let the people of the South make 'Ti’KffprTOr home CTTrsumfnrofi, and ft two years *ll will be right.” TSio Yaliuual Democratic Con vention. This body, it has been determined, is to assemble in the city of New York on tbe 4tb day of July next. Upon thb announcement, one hundred gun; were fired in tho park ia honor of it.— That city, says the New York World, of the 25th inst, “i9 complimented for 'he first time in the history of parties in this country by being selected as the place for boi ling the Democratic Na tional Convention, July 4- Heretofore Baltimore b&s been -s favored city, from its supposed oontral position and access ibility, five National Democratic Con ventions in succession having beon held in Baltimore in 1836,1840, 1814, 1848 and 1852, and agaiu in 186 Y, after tbe adjournment from Charleston. The Convention of 1856 was at Cincinnati, and that or 1864 at Chicago, This is by no means the possible Western limit of future Conventions ; the National Dem ocratic Convention of 1872 may be held in the capitol of Nebraska, then owned by our correspondent Geo Fran cis Train, hi- heirs or assgucis, and in 1876 in Dublin, Capitol of the new State of Ire'aod, of which Ttrain or Elizabeth Cady Stanton may be Gover nor. But this city is tho pFcsent peliii cal, as well as commercial centre of tbe country, and its selection for the Nation al D emqcratioConvention of 18G8, is in all respects as advantageous as it is ap propriate. a War between England and Mexico is said to be in prospect. A Washington corresponds states that private advices from London havo been received in that city, stating that the in telligence from Mexico, that the govern ment has determined to repudiate all debts ot foreign countries except the United States, has given rise to an in tense feelii g of indiguatiou in tbe Kng li.-b Government. The. reason assigned by Mexico for the adoption of such a eouree L a revenge upon the nations of Europe for the recognition ts Maximil lian. England, however, not having followed Europe in this hasty proceed ing, is consequently doubly affected by tbe new M<xican policy Tbe English Government, it is said, is seriously con templating the fitting out of a titet to take possession of the ports of Mexico and hold them until satisfaction is given We give this intelligence as part of the currtut news of tbe day, without vouch ing fur it. It is certaiuly strange, if England has really* determined upon hostilities against Mexico, that wo have not heard of it before through line di rect channel, instead of by the round about and rather doub.ful way of a Wasbingtot despatch. Tho Hamwlciid Lkw. The Georgia (.'nov-uiion on Wcdues Jay, passed tho foll«i>g homestead law, after muuh di-eu-sion : Each head ol a family, or guardian, or tru-'ee of a family of minor children shall be entitled to a homestead of leal ty to the sum of $2,000 iu spec ie, and perioral prop, rty to the value of Si ,000 in specie, bn'h to be vrlued at the time they are set apart, and no court or min isterial officer of this S'atc shall ever have jurisdiction or authority to etitorce any judgomen*, decree or execution against said property so set apart—in cluding such improvement as miy be made thereon Irom time to time—ex cept for taxeg, or money bo'rowad, and expended in the Improvemenl of 'be homestead, or for the purchase money of the same, and for labor thereon, or materials furnished therefor and the ro moval of incuaibrancos ; and it shall be the duty of the General Assembly, as early as practicable, to provide by law for the setting apart and valuation o: said property, and to enact laws for the full and complete protection and secur ity of the same to the so’e use and ben efit of said families as aforesai L” Jovcphi Use RstScr of tlie M«i latloes. From public and private sources we have learned of many ol the tricks put up by Joseph Brown to manage the Mulattoee in Ahnnta. The latest dodge of his is related as follows in the Atlnn a correspondence of the New York Times. The writer says: The glad tidings wmre announced this morning that the military treasu rer had arrived with $20,000, to he distributed among the members and officers of the Convention This sum will give tr.ein about SIOO each They can only look for SIO,OOO more from Gen. Meade. But the loan is again spoken of It is said that the parti** who proposed to make the lean hesita ted to complete it r.n the advice of Gov Brown, their lawyer, who has hi heito doubted the prudence of their doing so, as he thought it very proba ble that the Constitution would be de- i seated and that the money would nev er be repaid. Now that the declared right of the negro to hold office is stricken out, and there is a strong 1 probability that representation will be i harmoniously settled, he advises his 1 clients that they may safely lend the I money. I know that the negotiator of the loan, Mr Hopkins, has stated tho foregoing t > be tho euse, and, theie lore, it is safe to suppose that he is well informed. It would take near’y SIOO,OOO to pay the. Convention up to day. It would. 'V.trJore, tase S7O - | 000 in add tit n to the sum - received i Irom Gen. Meade Th y will probu- Srmtrm* rnr tne trivrvmr v»rrn-ti me G neral promises to pay, it will require a loan of SIOO,OOU to give the mem bers and t ffieers “their due.” It may be just as well for those who I ropose to invest their greenbacks, says the Columbus Sun, as Joseph di rects to know, that no matter whether the Constitution be ratified by force or fraud, the people of Georgia do not hold themselves responsible lor one ceDt of the cxpenditU'es of the Mulatto Convention. We are told that when the Conserva tives held a caucus and proposed to boh because the negroes were made competent to bold offices, that they had no better pertse than to admit Joseph into the conference and to permit him to make a harrangue. With Lis oily eloquence he persuaded them to bold on, and immediately slipped out, went to the Radical caucus and succeeded iD persuading that body to desert the ne gro. The correspondent ol the Times adds, that if Joseph’s little disabilities are removed in time Bullock’s and Far row’s chances for Gubernatorial honors are s'im Tho people of Georgia will not be slow to forget that to Joeepn Brown, the most selfish, adroit and unscrupiu lous of all men who claim Southern birth, they owe moe? of the misfortunes and oppressions w hich have befaiien them. Another Advocate of Mr. John son.—Alexander H. Stephen*, Vice President of the late Confederacy, is now in I’hiladelpbia, and in an inter view wilb the lieporier of the l'hiladel pbia Inquirer, expressed h;s choice of a candidate for the next Presidency, as follows : “Well, I am not an active man now : I am a paroled prisoner. However, I don’t mind saying that 1 think Mr. Johnson’s re-election would be a good thiDg for the country, lie is the best balf-way man that I can see. I have disagreed with him many times, but he is a national man, who tries to do for tie best, and who seems to be the clear est. I think Lis position is a patriotic j one, and he is steadfast in it. If tbe Democratic party could harmonize and nominate him, it would cneouragc tbe Southern pcofle to believe that all might yet be well." Let Them Bpeak We see no like libood of assembling a Convention oi tbe people to select delegates to tbe i\a tional Demo, ratio Convention, and we therefore respectively suggest to the va rious Democratic Clubs *Lrougbout tbe State, to recommend, by resolution, the Central Committee to act in tbe matter. Let tbe Club of this county at its next meeting adopt a rt■ Jut Ob to this ef fet We call the attention of our eo temporaries to this suggestion, and beg liny will give it ( arly aud lavirable con-ideratiuii.— Macon Messenger Feb. 20 th.

Tho Washington Star , ol the 2‘2d in stunt gives the billowing account of what occurred between these two con-; testatits for the administration ol the W nr Department: There were pro ent tit Sscre'nry Stun on’s office this morning, It pre sentntives Morenead anti lvel «y, It out J’eiinsyivitni i; Van Horn ami Van Wyck, ol New York; Dodge, of low a; j Ames of Massacliusi Its; Messrs. Free man of New York ; and ex-member Columbus Delano, of Ohio About 11:20 A. M., Oen. Lorenzo Thomas, having just been released on bail by Judge Carter, presented him self at the door of the Department and to and Mr. Stanton that he would line to se- him. Mr. Stanton told him to pro coed with anything-he hud to say Gen 'I hormis remarked he had come to discharge his duties Secretary of War ad interim, having been ordered to do so by the President of the United Sta es. Mr. Stanton replied that he had been ordered by the President to act as Secretary of War, and he inten ded to do it. 'Mr. Stanton again re , plied lie should not, and again ordered j him to his own room, and denied the power of the President to make any such order. Gen. Thomas said he would not go, that he should obey the orders of the Piesident, and uot obey the orders of Mr. Stanton. Mr. Stan- ton remarked, “As ."ecretary ol War 1 order you to repair to your own place as Adjunct General.” Gen 1 kmmus — 1 L shall not do so.” Mr. Stanton said, ‘‘Then you may stay there as long as you please, if the President or dels you. but you cannot act as Secretary ol War.” Gen. 1 hom'us —“1 shall uot as Secretary of War.” Gen. Thomas then withdrew into a room opposite, being Gen. Shriver’s room, Mr Stanton immediately follow ing him. After some conversation, Mr. Stanton said, ‘‘Then, you claim to be here as Secretary of \Y ar, and reluso to obey my orders Gen. Thomas — “I do, sir. I shall require the mails for the War Department to be delivered to me, and shall transact all business of the War Department.” At this juncture Gen. Grant and Aid came in., Gen. Grant said playfully to Mr. Stanton : “I am surprised to find vou here; I su; posed you would be at my headquarters for protection.” | STANTON BAItR'CADES HIMSELF. Gen. Thomas subsequently called at the White House and had another in terview with the President; but what passed between them was not known. During Suturtjy afternoon Gen 'J hum as went aga n to the War Department building, but the doors were closed by previous ordtr, and he was reiusoJ ad mission A person who subsequently called at the depart'd- nt sun a com mu meat ion addressed to Gen. Thomas I as S cretury of War was informed by the otiioel ol the guard that no person itcntrg- tu itrnt j*. a no* irtxrtvTß of the department have all recognized Mr Stanton as the proper source ol authority, and paid no.attention .o tiie claims of 1 hetnas. STANTON SLEEPS UPON THE FIELD Or battle. Among the members who were at ibe department after midnight were Gener als Farnsworth aud Pile, and Hon Samuel Hooper. General iSehencl; and Hou.Noimanß J mid remain and with Mr Stanton until throe in tbe morning, and Genoral Thayer, Senator fruiu Ne braska, passed the night there. At one o’clock this morniDg, Hon. D.v dK Carter, Chief Justice us tie Supreme Court of the District of Cos lumbia, visited the War Department. About four o’clock this morning, Mr. Stanton aud Senator Thayer enscocc. and themselves on two louDgts, to obtain, if possible, a little sleep. Not loDg af ter tbe tramp of soldiers was heard ap proaching from tbo direction of the White House, but it proved to be tbe relief guard. By seven o’clock Gen Farnsworth, Mr Judd, of liiinois, and other Congressmen arrived, Stanton had quite a levee as he*discussed the break last which bad been sent to him from hi* bouse. During tbe night a number of letters were sent to him from the Capitol, urging him to maintain his po sition, amongst which was the following characteristic one from Mr. Sumner; Senate Chamber, 24»t Feb., ’6B. Stick 1 Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. Hen. E. M Stanton. The Emigrants to Liheria. News has been received at Baltimore of the safe arrival at Monrovia of the ship Gulconda, says tbe Eufaula Newt, which took oat to Liberia a large num ber of emigrants from this city a few moths ago. Not a death on the trip is mentioned, and tbe colonists are rccor ed to be highly pleased with tbeir new homes. We copy from tbe Baltimore American of last Friday. “Letters have been rreoived by Air. Coppinger, Corresponding Secretary of tho American Colonization So ciety’s superior packet ship Golconda, at M< arovia, December 24th alter a pleasant passage of thirty-six days from Charleston, South Carolina. Tbe large party of emigrants sho safely carried out were well, and delighted with their; adopted homes in Liberia The Golcoc. da was to leave the African coa.-t about tbe 120th of January, aud may be ex pected soon to arrive at Baltimore.— She will be provisioned in that port and call at Savannah, where eha will take in most ol intending emigrants Some three thousand of the thoughtful and interprising freedmen have applied for passage, and numbers aro petition iug Congress fur the means to reach and settle in that growing Republic.” Brth, The New York Herald calls the Congress “revolutionary,” and takes up the cause of the I’rcsideat—this w-’ik. ilatlu aiGiii is Revolution. By ’in this case wo mean not merely a eonfln ol ideas settled finally through-the ballot box, but— War Human carnage, the deep im brping of rntn s hands ia each others’ blori^J —that is the gc ul to which Lad calism cotnes at lust.

Ini end, it is forcibly stopped, like a ' horse jerked back upon it- bun riches by the strong ban i of conservatism For four long, weary, b oody years Radicalism held its course, both North and South, and we all know what a ' pitiable w reck it has made of our coun try. We had hoped und tried Very hurd to believe that the sanguinary in j stincts of Radicalism were sated by the slaughter and nrsery of the past, ; and that however reckless it might be in its legislation, it would not again do- j liberately foment an armed revolution, ; and seek to relight the smouldering , embers of civil war. But the swiftly j succeeding events of the last few- days I have shown that Radicalism has not— ! we might say cannot—change its na ture We are not aliuding now to .he proceedi( gs in ti e House on the im peachmen of the President. Though this whole impeachment business is clearly the offspring -ol political expe diency aud of malice toward the Tin s ident, it is possible to conduct it to :ts close, whatever that may be, in peace, unless the Radical element in Congress by its reckless conduct in taking the initiative, actually forces fratricidal strife upon tiie country That it wilt be arres ed in this mad design, if such is entertained by the conservatism not only of Democracy but ol the Repub lican party,* many even ol the domi nant organization confidently hope Neiv York Jour, of Com. “Coil doic Id not Afford It.*’ The Washington correspondent of 'he Niw York Times (Republican,) says: The result *of the election in Ala bama seems no longer a matter of doubt It is taken f,,r granted ihnt the constitution has been defeated.— What, then, becomes of Senator Wil son’s recent declaration that ‘ God could not afford” to have the Congres sional plan defeated ?

Terrible ApprcltyiHion iu I-ott- ! Istu un. A correspondent of the Louisville “CYqrh r’’ w riting from Opelousas, says: Our citizens pret'y generally have been in a great state of alarm for two weeks, because of frequent reports about negro insurrections. One report goes abroad thus: “A Indy »ho, till recently, had made the North her home, was approached, on her return to our midst, by one oi the hou.e servants, a negro woman, tfxpre sing her regrets at her early re turn When interrogated uho said that her people would soon destroy all the whites.” Ano her story ‘ finds two citizen* stealing between picket* in o a secret gathering of darkies on Bayou Bluff, in this parish; where they beard several violent hurrungues, a'l bent on slaying the-whites, OTanch and root, and taking the property.” Still another is. that a negro woman should have said to the son ol a citizen, that “he would be in his grave in a few days.” And now, says Dame Rumor, they, (negroes) are boasting of a “big ball” to come off tomorrow night, re ferring to insurrection. Whether any confidence can be pi need in these and many other reports like them, the wri te! does not pretend to say But th s much i an be said—our citizens are on the steit. and the who e parish nearly is pi. ke'.ed every night, while scouts are watching every movement, aud I couriers convey eVeiyth ng of impor tant to responsible parties.
