We are glad to fct-e soino interest getting up a moo 2 our people upon the subject of immigration. We have lceil neglecting this matter too long While other States are being populat ed by tho teeming multitudes from other countries, Georgia has been hut little sought alter. And yet no State can offor such inducements to emmi grsfiU as Georgia. But these induce meats havo not been offered, ami tno re suit is, other lands less invi.ing have been occupied by the home-hunting emmigrants. But now that our people arc waking up, holding meetings, f i ming societies and organizing companies, wo hope to seo turned this way. And just hero we would drop a word.

To the Editor» Dtncson Journal: My mind was forcibly impressed with tho good common sense displayed in nil artiulo of yours of the 14'b inst Noth ing can so much advance ihc in if rest cf the people of Georgia as “patience,” under tho present existing state of things. Asa matter of rourse, every one mu ft feel deeply at xious as to the future of the country ; but, cv«n under Radical rule, there is ono very impor tant fact, which perhaps, but few hs.vc .nken time to realiza or r< fleet upon, ■ hat the only hope now left us for out advancement and prosperity as an op pressed people, is, that wc are an agri cultural class 'l’bc South presents fa cilities to all cluster, which no ether country can produce on this green earth and an inviting field is thrown open to all spears of industry, which can be mentioned or omj ctured. And in no section (f our great Htate is there held out to tLe industrious husbandman rich er inducements or more certain results for his labor than in South-Western Goorgia. Here can bo produced cot ton, rice, sugar, corn, po'a'oes aud al most any other commodity necessary for his prosperity and success io life, and without, over labor or anxiity of mind The country is level, rich and firtile, presenting to the stranger n scene of beauty and magnificence, naturaliy, hut seldom found in other climates. Much has been said of late of Honduras, of her lofty hills, her fertile vallies and the tropical fruits which cover her rich forests, so ii.v’ting to < ur people. S me, by there glowing descriptions, bt.ve been allured aw.y from their native soil and the borne of theii father-, and plant cd in this newly discovered Ounnaan—hut sad chsa|.^?t n fn>eni blasted thiir thousand anticipations cf a rich harvest in the future ; and one by one they have returned again to ticir native laid, to share with us in the com mon ills which necessarily follow the corruptions of our present form of gov ernment. However objectionable may te the picscut political status of the country. I have co fears, that ’ere Img, a eLan.-c must tukc place; the people who are the great motive power, which moves and cootrols the mighty machine in directiog :hc destinies of ali Republican forms of Government, mus' and will soon speak in thunder toms, and bring trier out of chaos—rcorgan izc and put in coition a different pro gramme, which will give power and ef ficacy North, East and West, to all classes of cur people, and re-establish the principhs of tire Government upon the Constitution of tbo country ash ft us by our Fathers and cemented by their blood. “Bo patient.’’ The new element which has been left amongst us, 1 kuow is a vexed question but by no means unmanageable. lin press them with the thought that we are there “only and true friends,” that the South is peculiarly adapted to their interest, and that the people of the South are acquainted with ali their traits ot character and the nature ol theirwants; hold out to them every incentive to hab its of industry—fulfill to the letter any pledge made, and by this means, you will secure their confidence and friend, ship, and thereby alienate their feel ngs and rffcctioDS from wandering cmissa ries, who are producing among them ditftord and di-affection, which must ul timatnly result in their entire ruin. In conclusion, permit me to say, that I admire your handsome, thriving little village, so much so, that I shall make it, l’rovidenco permitting, my future borne. Make her people, my. people, aud her interest my interest, and by “patient” endurance, trust that a glo rious future may ctowb ns all. /ames w. price, m. and. Affair or HoNi r—We see in our Savannah excharges, that a couple if young men named Griffin and Wayne, attemted to brand themselves with infa my by the commission of murder, by fighting a duel, yesterday, near Savan nah. The weapons ured were revolvers; ten paces neither parly injur ed and oc'y one shot exchanged. In the Jays of barbarism, when the wicked passions of wicked men were followed by society, murder was ponsid ered honorable, llu. since the organi zation of legal tribacals for the adjudi cation of all questions f>l difl rence arising betweeu individuals, during is made a crime by the laws of the land Yet men, under the idea that they are saving their honor, kill each other in duels and thereby throw away every cv ery particle of honor, and earn for them selves that public condemnation which all murderer? deserve — Opmi’.-n. Ailr»nt tlk; Aoaatlnce. Ax wo have often predicted, and on yesterday r prated the prediction, Grant was nominated by the Chicago MoO gicl Black and Tan Ccwteufiou. To give 'he ticket some respectability, Speaker Colfax wns pinned on to it. But what is the I’iaiform of this drunk en, idiotic nominee of a negro Jacobin Convention Wbat principles docs be ptnpngu to defood ? What tre the views of his party upon the qurnlion new bc fre the people for settlement? They have given their individual views upon Reconstruct ittd, and those views are simple these: “We will, or will not favor or advance the work of rcatora 'ion, just as we may tl iuk cur parry interests demand.” Party success is (be only cormi 1< ration that in any way ii fl'jences tl c action of the iltdical C> n gress. Tbovc States in which negro supremacy is fully settled, will be ad mitted and allowed tv vote for the Pres ident. The case of Georgia is doubtful, hut if the Jacobins think they can car ry the State for their nominee, the Rad ical K‘presentatives will be admnt and, and the negro S'a’c Government recog niz and. That the Radicals fully expect to elect their “mummy” there is no doubt aud tfiat they fully expee'ed to carry the Southern States by force, by the bayonet, thrreran be no doubt. Force arid vir lence will be used, every attempt will bo used to drive tba people, and Grant, and the tool of unscrupulous p< liticians, at the Lead of the army, with the perp'e of ten Stales subject to his oiders, will stop at r.o wrong or out rage which he may imagine will, in the least degree, advance his interests. A low, cour c brutal nature, a General whose success in the late war was the result of the butchery of his soldiers, a man with' ut regard f r human JPe, and withtd, beirig bigb io power, it is mr>n than lolly to expect that any regarei will be exhibbed by for the laws of tb< land, or the rights of the people. But thank God, power, force, can nev er subduer freemen, and there is a limit beyernd which the enemies of the Gov ernment ennot go, withe ut :h' ircoorse is ;ed with blond, and strewn with the corpses of liberty’s defenders. The Federal Constitution is the supreme law of the land and the first allegiance of every citz n is cue to it, rind should its pir'i.-i ns be disregarded by men North cr Scum, >u or c Ut ot position, the people must defend it as they would their stcred honor, and without honor, life is worthless. I.oval Oiilraeo South. Redding C'arrry, an aged and wor Iby citizen of about s : xty-fivc years of age, says the Jm(‘rosse Democrat, and his sou George, a youth of about twenty years old, living near Paetolus, Pitt County, N. C , had become odious in the eyes of some Yankee squa'ters, and Federal authority. Two years ago, a Foder 1 offiett with a squad of soldiers made an effort to arrest them, ihe officer was killed, simm then, sev eral iueflectual attemp’s have been made. On Saturday night lust, a squad of soldiers, under the command of a Major, surrounded his house, and de manded a surrender. Carney and his son refused, his son-in-law, a Mr Whitehurst, who was cn a visit, went out and surrendered, and is supposed to bs mortally wounded by a shot from the soldiers. The Major deem ing it. saler for his tnen to burn out Carney, than make a bayon< t charge into the house, ordered it fired in sev cral places, but graciously permitting Mrs. Carney and her maiden daughter to leave the house before tiring it, but would uot permit them to take any clothing. After the house was fired upon and killed. The old man stayed in aad was burnt to death. Mrs. Car ney and her daughter are without a she'ter or clothing. It is all done lor the better protection of life and ptop erty in the South. Glorious old flag ! what acts of disgrace are committed under thy folds. This is way we live ‘‘under the best Kovel ument the world ever saw.’*— Had a whi e man knocked over a nig ger for some insolence we should have hud a feurlul account of rabel outrages, but beie is a deli' erate murder by u squ id of so called soldiers, who wi 1 never be made to sutler for iheir out rage, neither will any report of the af lair be published in the good and loy al papers of the North. Information Wanted. —The under tsiget’d must respectfully solicits infor tua'inn concerning the members ot Jas Oudiy and family—a wife and two daughters. I married the youngest doughter, Miss Ellen Oudiy, near Ma rietta, Gj., 28th of December, 1863. IBy an order of General Sherman, in ! August fdlowing, the family was sent North (James Oudiy was a member of Jackson's corps of the Virginia ar my.) Since which time, we have beard uotbiog from the family. Any infor mation concerning this abftent party will be pr'ipuVly appreciated ly„ an anx ious daughter, as well as by- Jas. Taylor, Water Valley, Miss. The Athens Danner leurna that a lady named King, was struck and kill od by lightning in Hunks county last Saturday. Peospcet of u t iVui W ar. Mr. Forsyth of tho Mubile Register in bis last letter fiom Washington says : “As au observer oi tho march of events at this focus of political senti ment, I should fall nho.t of duty as a faithful chronicler, did I omit to note the all bnt universal feeling that the revolution now in progress will culmi nate in another domestic war—this time not a sectional, but a civil war.— All int'iligent Democrats have ceased to doubt that it is the design of the Rad ical revolutionists to hold on to the power of Government, under all and any circumstances. It is with this view that they ire so intent driving Mr. Jchnson from the Executive sent and placitg themselves in full posses sion of all the departments of the Gov ernment when the critical hours strikes. They will maDipulata the votes of the eleetorial college to give themselves a majority, and they will forcb upon the Democrats the fearful responsibility if inaugurating civil war to sustain their claims justly resulting fr> m a constitutional no jniity of the people. If the Democratic President elect is a manes weak and nerveless charaeier they expect an easy victory and acquiescence in tbeir usurpati n.— Hence ihe general Democratic desire to elect a leader who will be equal, in j idgcmcnt, in daring, and in the coofi d nee of the people to the great emer gency The need is for both a states man aDd a soldier, and propably the qualities of the latter in a high and stern degree will be allessenlal to open tbe path for the exercise of the official qualities of tbe first. And perhaps, too, if tbe right nan is in the right place— some man of Jacksonian temper—ihe Radicals may be deterred from the coup de force which none doubt it is their purpose to nttc mot It remains to be said that I have o<n tnund a Democrat who having measured the danger and ihe responsibility, hesitates to declare that his mind is made up to tbe soletnt duty of meeting the issue as presented, and "f inaugurating at the point of the bay onet, the while President elected by a msj rity of the white men of the United Statts. Upon the premises beirig cor rect, Washington will be a very lively place about the fourth of next March A civil war would be a deplorable ca lamity in this country, where the cner- j gene cnaracier of tho people compels to do with all their might whrtevcr they put their bands to. And once begun, no man could forecasts tbe end. It might out last the thirty >?ars of Ger man war, ergo, until slaughter survived the recollections of tbe issues and prin ciples upon which it was originally u."" c ed. But there arc worse things than war in its sanguiuary and destruc tive form. The freedom of a nation like this is peerless beyoudall sacrifice; priceless above all earthly boons. So reason the anti Radical mcD, and in the spirit of the argument, they declare th.y have made up their minds to act.” lleadqr’s 3d Military Dost. i Georgia, Alabama and Florida, > Atlanta, Ga., May 20, 1868. y General Orders No. 80 So much cf the sentence of the priso ners, William Pettigrew, Frank H. Munday, Hugh L White, Thomas W. Roberts, James Bteele, John Cullen, and Samua! S.rayhnrn, ci izens, sen tenced by General Orders No. 72, to e nfioement at hard labor at the Dry Turtugus, as remains unexpired, on the receipt of this order at Fort Jefferson, is hereby remitted, and the prisoners will be di-charged Iu thus early releasing these priso ners, the M»jcr General D >tntnaodiog trusts the clemency extended towards them will not be misunderstood. These misguided and thoughtless young men were convicted, alter a fair trial, of acts of violence and outrage against a citizen with theobj ci of driving him out ot the State ’lhe frequent complaints of similar conduct, and the failure of the civil authorities to repress the evil, ren dered it necessary to exercise the power conferred on him by law, and bring these prisoners before a military tr bu nal. Their convi'tion and punishment having, however, vindicated the princi ple involved, the commanding General, in view of the suffering imposed on the relatives and friends of the prisoners, of the promises made of the futnre con duct, and in the belief that a -roper ex ample, earlier made, might have dotirr ed the prisoners fiom committing the < f fense, has directed the discharge of the prisoners. The C'tr m ir.ding General takes this occasion to state that rimilar clemency need mu. be eXpreted in fumiv, and he wart s the people of his Distnc’, that be is determined to siypT-.'S all It wless ners and vio snee, and all attempts of individuals to take the law into their own hands, or to decide who shall or shall not live in the couDtrv. To pro tect every person in bis rghts of person and property, is made by the law the paramount duty of the Commanding General, and it is well the people of the District, and the authorities having in charge lhe preserva'iou of the peace, and the execution of the laws, should know that he is determined to exercise all the power u.'der his command in the discharge ofj this duly, and that hereafter, no considerations snob as are here allowed, will influence him to re lieve the gu-lty from the just punish ment awarded them. By order of Major General Meade. R. C. Cauu, Aseslstant Adjutant General. The Radicals at Chicago are making a fool of old Mr. Grant, who is there. The Rwdiral Candidates. At will bo seen by reference to the dispatches in anothef column, suys the Griffin btar, GeneraßGrunt hits been nominated for tbe Presidency, and Schuyler Colfax for the Vice Presi dency’, by the Chicago Convention They made a plaffoifln— n sy nop is of which we print. Ibis is | erhups as weak a ticket as they cofild have got ten up; and one of the most dlsgraee lul ever prestnted io America by any party. Grant is a drunken wi bout brain, or any other qualifica tion lor this high and responsible of fice; and Colfux, a man without prin ciple—as many of his partisan rulings as Fpeaker ol the He use of Represen tatives abundantly testify. Grant in the Presidential choir!— tne mere cat’s paw of the demon* who are now attempting to degrade the American peo| le, and to establish a dictatorship upon the ruins of a once free, happy and piorperous Republic ! Matte a man President who knows as little of the machinery of government, and the duties of 'he office, as ho does of those essen'iai qualifications ol head and heart that make the true man ! Make Colfax Vice President! —a polit ical weather oovk—a party pimp who desires nolh'ng save his own interest, which he thinks he can promote by playing the clown for the Radical pnr ty ! Grant was nominated not on account of hit* quahf cations, but because he was supposed io b j available —having, as he has, almost unlimited control over the army, he might ihus control them, und perhaps through them the Southern Stans; and Colfax, perhaps to catch those who ure opposed io mil itary men, and because he is a willing, unscrupulous tool. Is it possible, that even in the de generacy of the Radical party, they are f'oited to lake such men? The people know too Welt what is at stake to place the reins ol government in the hands of men who would make this the most tyrannical country under the sun l he platform is almost a nullity, ex cept as a condensed statement of Rad ical hypociisy to sir up the passions and mislead the people. Tlic General Assembly—When And where Will i! Convene —And when y,if| JUnMock be lnunguruted Governor. These questions are almost hourly propounded to us. We regret our in ability to answer them in a manner satisfactory to the reader. Rumor at thes militurv headquarters says that itio G-neraf Assembly will be con vened at this place by Gen. Men le, for the purpose only of taking action on the Constitutional Amendment; nut C'hen, rumor does not designate. We presume the public will noon be advised oi if:at important event by the prop' r authority Unt‘l then, our readers must be patien.. With regard to the inauguration of thb Governor elect, the time is not yet set juor.tb* will elapse, in our judgement, befotc the occurrence of'that event Congress ionaf action will either hasten or post jone it—pet haps Congressional ae ion may indefinitely postpone it. It may be that Georgia will bo formally voted into tho Union, before the inaugura tion lakes p'ace, or Congress, without going ao lar, may pa>-s an act recog nizing the government under the re cently ratified Constitution, as provis ional, when it will go into operation with Governor Bullock in the Execu tive chair. For our own part, we have no desire that Congress should act hastily in this matter. We prefer that it should “hasten slowly;’’ that it shoe and deliberate wi-ely, and stave off the evil day to as distant a period as possible. We can assure that Radi cal body that the whiio people of Georgia much prefer its present mili tary ruler, and mi itary rule, to that which, we are aware, an! dreau, is iu store for 'hem Give us not over too soon, woald be our prayer, if it would be of any avail, to the stranger In our midst, to the negro radical rule v bicb threatens to devour the substance of our people. —Atlanta lnt.

The superiority of the tmmp'es of wheat and oali produced by Mr. John G. Brkle »nd noticed in onr last issue, i* disputed by sum piss from tbe river plantation of Rev. M. C. Smith. This gentleman has furnished us with mm* pks of wheat, rye ao<T oats, which, we amsgioe, will be difficult to aurpas3 in noy section, but we think we have nev er seen better, or at least taller rye and oats. The rye Is very nearly seven feet in length, the oats fully five, and :he wheat about the same. We are glad to see that onrfafmrre are paying more attention to the prep a ration of tbeir lands, and beginning (• feel more pride in their method* of oul* tivation, as well aa in the variety of production. A few jeart ego it was no, believed that wheat could beanecesw fully cultivated hi this county, but ma ny gentlemen have subsequently tested it, and there remains no doubt that Thomas county in fully capalle of pro ducing her own supply of wheat.
