There is a feeling gaining ground in the South that tho day ol planta tion system is over—these large plantations matt be divided up into small farms. This we regard st a mistake, and if ever done, it will not bs five years befoh! tho small farm ayitem will bo abandoned. It is truo our planters havo attempted to cultivate too much ground, bat the misfortune was not tho area of land, but tho wretched system of ug- ricultnre. It is not a chnngerof farmers, hut a chango of system we need. The present crop is an argument in favor of thin change. Land that only previously brought ten or flllceu bushels of corn to thq acre, under the system adopted by our planters of manur ing this year it will produce thirty.— Machinery and capitol are neacssary for successful planting, ns for tho manufacture of cotton or wool and tliesn novor can bo commanded by small farmers. If a thinking man will bestow a moment’s consideration of this subject, tlioy will sen (lie folly of sucli a division as is contemplated. Every country where tins division nnd subdivsion lias obtain, as in Prance nnd Italy, tho system has proved a failure, nnd. every writer on political economy reports against it. It is ruinous to the prosperity of tho country, nnd nnjust dealing with en ergy nnd enterprise. Suppose the mad •chemoof Tliad Ttovens was ndopted, how long would it remain. Suppose ii this conn try was divided up among the negroes, each receiving his filly nei-es. What would bo tho result in five years? Simply this, tho indolent nnd inzy negro would become involved in debt, nnd ids more prosperous neighbor would purchase his fifty nercs for amoro song, and so continue until tho drones are rooted out and tho indust rous control tho lands, an^l largo plantations would lie tho order ol the day, .

A BesatlM Parage. Wo extract tho following from Reveries of n Baoholor,” by Ike Marvel. It is a very fine passage “A poor man without soma sett of religion is at host a poor reprobate, the foot-bad of destiay, with no tie linking him to infinity and to the wondrous eternity that is even worse—a flamo without a heat, a rainbow without color, a flower without perfume.— A inau may in some sort tio his hopes and his honors to this weak shifting ground tackle, to hit business, or the world, but a woman without that anchor called fath, is a drift and n wreck I A man may clumsily continue^ sort of moral responsibility out of relation to mandkind, hut a woman inker comparatively isolated sphere, where affec tion and not purposes it tho controlling mo live, can find no basis in any other system or right action but that of faith.

This enterprise is not ouly claiming tho attention of tho people along the line, but men outside see tho importance of such connection of onr railroad system. It will makes through routo of travel from Now York to New Orleans vin Savanush, Albany Eufaula and Montgomery. The Southern Recorder, speaking of the matter, savs: Wo see from the Thomasvillo Enterprise that the .question of building tho South Georgia 4 b lorida Railroad is agitating tlio minds ofthopoople of Thomas and Mitchell counties. Wei can hardly suppose that tliore can be fcny serious opposition to such an en terprise, and if there is, it is for thj want of means on tho part of thoso who urge objec tions. -> The South Georgia A Florida Railroad will run, when constructed, from Albsuy to TIiomaBviMe’and perhaps in tirno, extend itselftoMonticello or Tallahassee in I-’lori- da. At present, it is tho intention of tho friends of tho road, to build from Tfiomas- vills to Albany. A glance at the, map will convince the obsorverthatit is all important that tho Road from Albany should strike nt Thomasvtlle, and hud it not been for the war we have bnt little doubt that tlio Road would have been built long since. It is but extending ono of tho great railroad arteries of our State, and pcrlucting the aystem ol important and indispensable communication direct with tho different sections of our growing and great old State.

Washington, Jnno 1?.—Tlio opinion of the Attorney General on tho powers ofMil- itary Commanders,’ under tho Reconstruc tion Acts, is too elaborate for tho telegraph, sod the reasoning too close for a svnopsis. Tho following verbatim extracts cover tho conclusions: • / I find it impossible, under the provisions of this Act, to oomprehefid such an official as a Governor of one of these States anpoint- edto office by ono of these military coin- maudors. Certainly he is not the Governor recognized by the laws of tho State, elected by the people of the State, and clothed, as snch, with the chief exeoutive power. Nor is he appointed as a military Governor tor a State which has no lawful Governor under tho pressure of an existing necessity to crciso powers at large. The intention, doubt, was to appoint him to fill a vacancy occasioned by a military ordor, nnd to put him in tlic placo of tho removed Governor to execute the functions of the office ns pro vided by law. Tho law takes no cogni zance of such of an official, and ho is cloi with no authority or color of authority. What is truo as to tho Governor, is equal ly truo ns to the other legislative, executive and judicial officers of the State. If the military commander can oust one from his office, he can oust them all; if he can fill one vacancy he can fill all vacancies, and thus usurp all eivil jurisdiction into his own hands or the hands of those who hold their appointment from him and subject to his power of removal, and thus frustrate the very right secured to the people by the Aet. Certainly this Act is vigorous enough intha power which it gives with all its severity.— The right of electing their own officers is ■till left with the people, nnd it must be pnserved. I-nust not be understood as fixing limits to tbs power of tho military commander in casetf an actual insurrection or riot. It may hippen that an insurrection in one of these States may be ao general and formida ble as torequire tho temporary suspension of all civilgoveminent and the establishment ot martial law in its place; and the same thing may be true us to local disorder or riot. In reference to tlio civil government of the city oi placo where it breaks out, whatevor power is necessary to meet such exigencies, tho military powor may proper ly exercise. I confine myself to the proper authority of the military commander when peace and ordor prevail. When peace and order do prevail, it is not allowable to dis place tlio civil oflicors and appoint others in their place under any idea that the mili tary tominandcr can hotter perform bis du ties and carry out tho great purposes of this act by the agency of civil officers of his own oilmen rattier than by tlio lawful in cumbent. The ait. gives'him no right to resort to such ngenoy, but docs glvo him the right to have a suffiefont military force to enable him to porform his duties and en force his authority within tho distriot to which he is assigned. In the suppression of insurrection or riot, the military comman der is wholly independent of tho civil au thority. So, too. in the trial and punish meat ot criminals and offenders: he may supercede tho civil jurisdiction in his power to be oxeroised in these special emergencies, and the means are put into his hands by whioh it is to bo exerolaod j that is to sxy, a 'sufficient military force to enable such officer to perform his duties and enforce his authority, and military tribnnala of hisown appointment to try and punish offenders.— Theso are strictly military powers to be exe cuted by military authority, not by the civ- eoolnUMt from lbs vertli ■ Bummer's su», has bsIR Jp Ion #f. visitors who msx wf hours of th. next difao sMsaias.iSE 1 The Proprietor proposes to fllniliti ss good a fable a* tht country ufFord*q nnd Bitters himself that he will girt satire Mliefsolion lo such ss bij favor him with their patronage.
