'traction of the State gov n,incuts under military acts. Letter from Savannah. The weather here has been unusually warm and wet for the past month, and some fear is expressed that we shall have considerable sickness by and by, although there is little at present. Many prominent citizens, with us at heart in the work of political recon struction, have not yet mustered cour age to breast the storm of opposing treason, and join us openly. Through co-operation agencies, the city lias been thoroughly canvassed, and almost eve ry man entitled to register is secured. The city board have labored assiduous ly, night and day, to bring about thi s result, holding extra sessions at night to accommodate laboring men, and rousing the colored people to ap| reci ate the importance of registration. Our colored friends require line upon line and precept upon precept, to pre pare them to resist the miserable false hoods which the opposition have ad vanced to hold them from voting. “Fees,” they say, “are demanded;” “no use for you to go ;” “ you can’t read, they won’t register ignorant per sons ;” “ t hey register you to tax you ;” “ are going to draft you by and by ;” and such like stories in the city, be sides insinuations that colored men who spent their time in registering,turning out with Union Leagues, or engaging in politics in any way, could not hope to retain tlieir positions, or be em ployed if discharged! On the other hand, they have crowd ed every white man they could get hold of into the office, and tried to swear him through. Their best men announced “ war to the knife with Republicans,” or, as they term them, “ Radicals.” They assert that they will spend a hundred thousand dollars “ to prevent the cilygovernnient from passing into the hands of niggers.” They have at least fifteen hundred votes to buy in order to beat the party in Savannah, and feel lather blue over it, but they will leave no stone unturn ed to accomplish their purpose. The Republican is working in tlieir inte rest, but is fast losing its influence. How can it be otherwise, when the most bitter opponents of the (congres sional policy tire, applauding its course, and saying, “Hays is a pretty good kind of man after all.” His editorials, of late, have proved that lie is no friend to the Republican party, and is as bad ly afflicted with eolorphobia as any ex Confederate. Well, let him go on. Men who are lighting for principle can afford to do without men, or pa pers, that are neither one thing nor the other, but try to steer half way be tween good Republican and mean Democratic principles. Wo wish no half men or half measures in these times, and bid a hearty God-speed to those men who are fearless advocates of equal rights and the principles laid down in the Republican platform framed at Atlanta. Savwnati. The following is the substance of the report from the Agricultural Bureau for May and : In Virginia there is but a small quantity of cotton land, but of this, “ as compared with last year, the breadth seeded is nearly double, but as compared with the year before tin* war it is not one-half.” Os the tobacco crop, a similar report is given. Twice as much land is planted as in 1800, and the season has been favorable. Hie average of the wheat crop was not large, but the season was unusually propitious, and the product per acre large and of excellent quality. Os corn and oats, a larger quantity was planted than in 1800, and the crop is in a pro mising condition. Keuistkation in Savannah.—Re gistration in Savannah has closed until August. The total is: whites, 2,‘259 ; colored, 3,032. The registration for Chatham and Effingham counties, is: whites, -272 ; colored, 1,710. Know Tliy Destiny.

[1 xti-acl from Letter of Major Saxton, or tiering IU utkrs.J Washington, D. 0., April 24, 1867. It was thought by some that \vc had better get; tin Parker A Watson feeries, which is the most used in the Schools, simply because some had got it, for the sake of uniformity ; but my recommendation prevailed. One gentleman present, who had used both, stated that lie hud used the other ns long us he cured to, and con sidered the Willson Scries us far superior, giving an example of the difference of time required in teaching anew pupil, the prefe rence being decidedly in lavor of the latter series. So we, starting this new’ movement, have decided to get the best book extant, bo far as we knew them. **. * * | (Signed) 8. Willard Saxton. | From the American Freedman (Rev. Lym an Abbott.) “The peculiar characteristic of this Series lies in the fact that they aim to impart, as far as possible useful information. For this pur pose they contain a series of articles on vari ous subjects of science and history, graded to the capacity of different pupils, and so arranged that when the five volumes have been care fully read, the student, in addition to a know ledge of reading, will have acquired a conside rable knowledge in many departments of study, such as will lay the foundation lor more complete instruction afterward.” They art therefore peculiarly adapted to the pressing needs and quick pereeptives oi the colored children. Each book is profusely and handsomely illustrated, and the illustrations a Ye. ali. intended to render the comprehension of the reading matter more easy. The follow ing testimonials have been selected from a large mass of a similar nature : B I REAL R. F. AND A. L., Office Superintendent Education, Richmond, Ya., Dec. 13, 1866. Dear Sir —I have been familiar with the Headers from their first publication, and am free lo say to you, as I have uniformly said to teachers, superintendents, and others, that, all things considered, 1 regard them as the best Series before the public. The leading peculiar feature of this Scries was a happy in spiration of the author, and the execution of t he plttu so well done as scarcely to admit of improvement. Mr. Willson's style of compo sition in the lower numbers of the Series, and something of his plan in the higher numbers, have been imitated by some later writers of school readers with decided advantage to their works. Hence Mr. Willson has not only made a peerless Series of his own, but has elevated the general standard of such w orks. When ever my choice has not been constrained by circumstances, I have always used this Series both in the white and colored schools with which I have been in any way connected. Yours, truly, R. M. Manly, Superintendent Education. Irom V M. Colby, General Superintendent Freedman’s Schools in Arkansas. I never made better readers than from those books. The Charts are unsurpassed by any.
