The Texas papers arc calling upon white labours to emigrate to that State, AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 16,1865, THE SitVVOEK MBKTSMi. The New York Post contains a report of a private meeting of (he friends of Mr. Davis h Id in the city, July 31st, to devise means for the fair and full defense of him and bw ! associates, eo, whatever happens, jmtice may bed .nc. Ibe meeting was held at the rooms j of Mr Charles Mattel held, who was present at the suggestion ot Mr Peter Y. Cutler. mittee was appointed to raise iunde for the object stated, to consult with Charles O'Ccn nor, E >4 , counsel, and to adopt other necessa ry measures. The following gentlemen were named as the committee : Mayor Gunther, ; Charles Butterfield, Tbeo Martin, E Douglass, : and Clancy. The Mayor was absent, but he ! bent his regrets, and assurances of hearty co - operation Mr. Packer, Mr. Brown, aud Mr. Livingston, of Mobile, were among those pres , cut. Messrs. Cutter, Tucker aud Livingston were the principal speakers. They regarded the failure of the rebellion a3 but temporary. The spirit that originated it still lives in the ( douth, and by assistance of triends at the North, j it can bo successful in another way. Mr. Liv ! ingi ton said Alabama would bo represented in j Cm gresH by none who were not sworn to be iu favor of Southern independence; that Mis. i SnnaU’i execution had excited the indignation ol the world, and that jhe Government dare | not trust Mr. Davis to n trial, ilr. Liyingston said any person who would regard tie cour.-e 1 of the Bouth as treasonable, would be looked IP 'on as a madman or fiend. if the meeting had confined its action to the object lor which it v»„a tailed, no objection could be made; but it appears from the speeches that sympathy with Jefferson U.ivis was a mere used simply to cloak deep and dark purposes. The well arc of IJjo prisoner at Fortress Monroe may have had the effect of inducing some of tho parties present to attend the meeting, but the remarks show that the ' whole iiflair was purely a scheme of designing mm to yet rank aid undisguised treason again in a prominent position before the public. If meetings of this stamp only had ap effect upon residents of the North, they perhaps would be more beatable. But those who take part in them care but little for opinion in that section. They knoyr full well that they are iu a hopeless minority there now, and i-vill be for all tipis to come. Their gieat object is to oif.'ct publ.c sentiment at tho Pcuth. They wish cncc mere to gain a ieothold in this sec tion of the country. Little care they for the prosperity or welfare of this people. All they desire or seek for, is poll deal ii fiuenee for their own sell aggrandisement, ins tp carry out their own selfish schemes and purposes. VYe caution the people of the South against placing any nliai.cy ip the copperhead faction of the North. True, this class will talk . monthly and promise everything as they did iu days gone by. But when it perm s to acts cud fulfillment gos pledges, they are utterly p'.wcrh ss, Before the late struggle, the South was kd to believe that great things, iu her fa vor, could be accomplished by them. What was the result ( These men who had for yeats used Southern influence for their own benefit, wore unable to keep even a single declaration ii:ey had made—much less to render the 0,-Mstance they had sa pompously boasted they would give. \VV hope none of opr people will be deceived y the utterances of the New York meeting.— To sum up tho whole, it is tho mere fro by . If,a voscenes of disappointed otfica-seekers political garbage thrown to the public just at .h .s t x itiiig time in order to decieve tho unwa ry. If the South gives heed to such stuff, or per mits herself to be deluded into tbe belief that there is a strong party at tho North ready to assist her in any reorganizing scheme hd | leaders may concoct, she will in the end find | berscll mistaken. Those Northern disorgani -1 ssms are lew iu number, and have but few fol j lowers. As to influence iu the Halls ol tbe 1 National Council, they have uoue. To trust or expect assistance from them, is simply to rely upon broken reeds. To enter into a co-parh ! uorslrp with them, would bo utter ruin. It 1 would bo like building a house upon the sand. When tho angry waves o' political discussion again arise, they would sweep away such a ! structure. The copperheads of the North have no more weight in guiding the public affairs of j tho nation, than would a strnv have in giving j direction to th 3 raging water ol the mighty, I rushing Niagara. Let tho people of the South, then, give no heed to tho insane speeches or counsels of men < t the stamp of those who composed the New York meeting. They are blind guides, audit their teachings are followed; like the blind lead ing the blind, we read of in the good Book, both those who lead and those who follow will fait into the ditch together. What shall we do?—many will probably in q fire. To all who are disposed to do tight-, we sr\ -do nothing except that which the Military (A mmandor of this Department and the Gover nor ol' the Btate directs you to do. These gentle cu have been appointed by the President to re organize the State of Georgia. They have their instructions. At pioper times they will tell you hew to act and what to do. Obey f,cir orders, follow their counsel, and all will bo well. Let us do whatever these officials tell i.s, cheerfully and promptly. And if we do this, we need have no fears for tho future. Bn .if ou the other hand we follow the teach . iu>;s either bf Northern copperheads, or of ambitious men in our midst, we soon will find j ouvselvesjurther fiom regaining our old posi tion ro Union, than we were the day we surrendered to the military arm of the United 1 states Government. Crops in s'&ctiiwkfterx Georgia.— A gentle man from Southwestern Georgia informs us ib. at the corn crop in that section of the State is unprecedentedly good this season. Yery little cotton or sugar was planted, but large Crop? of corn were put in, and the season be ing ‘ ivorabie, notwithstanding the withdrawal ol nek o' the labor from its cultivation, the i-. a.; will be abundant — more in some In s'.. v..c.'s Dan can be gathered with the limited force at present available. Abuudance of corn insures abundance of bacon, and it is gratify ing to know that when our railroad communi cation is re established with the Southwest and Florida this fall, we shall have a bountiful •apply of provisions. i t Nor.Tii Carolina Cotton Released. —When Geu. Johnston surrendered, the State of North Carolina had several hundred bales of cotton on hand. Soon after the surrender, this cot t m wa: taken in charge by the agents of the United States Treasury Department, as it was alleged that the cotton had been purchased to be u*ed by the State in payment for clothes, .arms and provisions for her soldiers. Some ot the cotton was sent to New York, and sold. A fuii and fair representation having been made to the President of the tiue financial con dition ol the State, he ordered her cotton to be restored to her, and the proceeds of all that had been sold to be paid to her agents. North Carolina is now well provided for, having in her possession ample funds to corn raence her civil government with Tbo expenses of the convention and the legislature that must follow i', can be paid without inconvenience io any one. Good Advice.— At a dinner to Gen. Sherman, iu St. Louis recently, he made a speech closing, with this sentence t ‘(Therefore, n*y friends •‘now that the war is over, let us ail go to “work to do what seems most honest and just •‘Io restore our country to its physical prospe rity. I repeat, to its physical prosperity. 4 s “to its political prosperity, I kuow nothing of “it, and cate about it far less.” This Is good, sound, sensible advice. Politi cians have nearly ruined the country. Now let the honest, patriotic portion or the people of tlielapd take matters in hand. It they will only do so, the country will be move prosper ous tUa*. ever. lithe people will only leave out in the cold for a while, they will he bo well satisfied at the turn aigiirs will take, that they never will reinstate them —— - *3B6*®***““——— Retributive Justice.— A store keeper in D aldington 8. 0., sold some of the Federal sol diers at that place a quantity of liquor. The soldiers became intoxicated and riotous. One of their first deeds was to break into the store where they obtained the liquor. This they pilaged, or iu a army parlance ‘‘cleaned out,’’ destroying and appropriating about twenty five hundred dollars worth of gpofis. It was a hard case—but every body wiil agtee that if any one was to suffer, betler the one who sold the liquor than innocent parties. Some other damage was also done by the soldiers befoi e they were arrested. No one should sell liquor to a soldier, under any citciunstances, unless he has a permit so to do. And we are of the belief that no one will have such permission in this Department, at least. 4 CoT.i.r.’ioN in South Carolina.—By the proclamation of Provisional Governor Perry, of South Carolina, the civil officers of that State not disqualified by President Johuson ! s Amnesty, are re instated in their respective of fices. Under this proclamation Mr. John E.Ca rew, sheriff of the Charleston District, made an application to the military authorities for the surrender of the jijl with a view to the resunip* tion/ff bis official functions. The military com mandant, Gen. W. T. Bennett, however, disre gards the proclamation of Gov. Perry, and re fuses to comply with the request of the SherifF, without orders from Washington. The GeiSjt ral claims that Charleston ia under martial law, and that till civil law is therefore suspended. Emigration of Women to Washington Ter ritory. —The United States Steamship DeMo lay, will leave New York soon with three hundred woi king women hound for Washing ton Territory. Upon their arrival there, good husbands will be provided for everyone of them under the supervision of the Executive Coun cil of the Territory. They are to be sent out in a National vessel. The Oath of Allegiance in Iventuclt. — Bramlett’s proclamation of July 19ta. in Ken tucky, requires a rigid enforcement of the law disfranchising and expatriating citizens who refuse to take the oath of allegiance. Loyal citizens are requested to report all- offences against this lav;, and it is announced that the military authorities will assist the civil officers in proceeding against offenders. Cotton is Texas. —A correspondent of the New Ycrk World, who has traveled through Texas, estimates that their are one hundred and twenty-five thousand bales of cotton still left in the State. He also says the present season bids lair to produce an excellent crop. Tm: -OiiEADSTur? Speculation Gone Under.— Throughout the North the speculation in bread stuffs has collapsed. Prices continue to de cline in a 1 ! the markets. In the Northwest the weather is fair ; harvest is progressing favora bly, and the damage from the rains proves to be much less than anticipated. Government Citton sent North —The government cotton now at Savannah is to be sent to New York at once. There are already two thousand bales now collected at the for mer place. Fite Children Drowned. —The saddest in cident of the disasters occasioned by the recent llood in Michigan, is the drowning of five chil dren in one family, and the almost superhuman efforts of the mother to save them. The father, Betbuel Draper, living on the west side of the Ontonagon, near the crossing of the Wisconcin road,'was out on the L'Anse railroad survey, and his two eldest children were away ; the mother, an ludiae woman, ami her five youngest children being at home, and were asleep when the water came into their-shanty. One of the children it is said, was drowned before the terrified mother could get them out, but she lashed its body and three of the others on her back an i to her sides, and took the fifth ia her arms, and struck out for a tree near by, to which she managed to tie the corpse, in the vain hone of preserving it for buri il, but the treo soon gave way and swept down the resistless torrent, and in her maternal effor's to save.the rest by swimming to a second place of safety the frantic mother telt the child in her besom expire and raw the others swept under by the foaming billows aud buried Irons her sight forever. The moth er climbed a sin ill tree, where she remained over two days for the river to subside, and finally reached th j Forest Landing, almost ex hausted with cold and hunger. The Newburyport Herald advocates female suffrage. A large number of whales have recently ap peared off Cape Cod, Masschusetts—a remarka ble IMPOATAST ISTSK&b HEV’EM K DECISIDS. A number of complaints were recently made by the collectors of internal revenue at New York against lawyers, claim agents and others for not taking oui lie uses as required by law. The delinquents iu most cases stated that they had already taken out partnership licenses, which they claimed exempted them as indi vidual member? of tueii' respective firms, aud maintained that tins proceeding on the part of the collectors was u> judifiible aud not iu ac cordance with tiie law of Congress. The mat ter was referred to U. 8. Commissioner Os born tor adjuuM item, and the following de cision w a s rendered by him : It appears that sections seventy-four «md seventy-nine of the act of Congress passed .June 30, l«t>4, and by virtue ot which * these proceedings are instituted, are the principal sections or provisions of the Internal Revenue law that relate materially to these charges. The controversy arises chiefly with reference to the construction of the two sections—what is the liberal meaning of the phraseJogy u-k and Section seventy-four declares “That in every license to be tali n >ul under or by authority of this act, shall be contained and set forth the put pose, trade, T -.i siness or profession for which such license Is granted, and the name aryl place ot abode of tho person qv persons taking opt the same ; ** 9- and (except ip the case of auctioneers and pedlars) the place at which the trade, business, or profes sion for which such license is granted shall be carried on. Provi led : That a license granted under Uni- act (jhall not tus pei«on or persons (except. lawyers, physicians, sur geons, dentists, cattle krokers, horse dealers and auctioneers), or fiun, company, or corpor ation mentioned therein, to exercise or carry on the trade- busmens or profession specified In such license in any other place than that men tioned therein, or otherwise pre-vidtd.” Now it seems to me'that this section aud its proviso, relates to the contents of a license, and the place where certain tea leg, business or profes sions may be carried, on ■ what, pjessea of bu siness are restricted to thb locality specified in the license, aud what- classes are authorized to be crrritfd on elsewhere besides the place mentioned in the license. But section seventy nine relates to the way asd manner in which certain trades or business may be exercised or carried on, either by indi viduals or by li iu, company or corporation. Here is the language of the section —“Any uuinber of persons, except lawyers, convey fuiccrs, claim agents, physicians, surgeons, dentists, citile biokers, horse dealers and ped lers carrying on such business in copartner ship, may transact such business at the place specified in their tier-uses, and not otherwise.” I hold that Congress intended by this provision to authorize persons to transact business unuer a fiim, company or coiporation other than the excepted ciases mentioned in the section, at the place mentioned io tiie license; for if any other construction is to he given, lawyers, claim agents, , are prohibited from exercising their prolusion or'business in the place speci fied in their license, aud are .licensed to do business elsewhere only. Now, if we look at the seventy third section we find that Congress not only prescribes what the license shall con tain, but grants authority for persons and firms to do business, thereby avoiding the necessity of a seperate enabling clause. Therefore, if section seventy fou l, p 'Tcnhxid what shall be contained in a license, the plaao where busi ness shrll be done, what classes of business are confined to certain localities, and what are unrcstiicied, and at the same time granting the right to do busine s, then section seventy nine must h ivo a d’ffereat construction, or be an obvious repetition ot section seventy-four. The qualifying words of section seventy-niue are “carrying on such business iu copartner ship,” and the words “may transact such business at the place specified in their license” means the person or peisons acting tn copart nership are authorized to so exercise tin ic business in copartnership, except lawyers, plaim agents, Ac , who are denied that privi lege, and must get out. a seperate license. This is the construction I give to tho law, inespec tive of the vague phraseology, which the defendants claim admits of another interpre tation. FORBIOV I TEAS S. The Cunard Steamship Company is twenty five years oid this summer. A London paper, in alluding to tho anniversary ot the sailing of the first ot the vessels ot this corporation, says that during the whole of tbe period of its ex istence, not a single lite or letter has been lost by any of irs steamers. During a late debate in the British Parlia ment a member stated that in England and Wales alone there were a million of paupers, and five hundred thousand more on the veige of pauperism.
