Everybody fully comprehends the
nooesslty of labor, us hus been eluci
dated from time to time, but they do
not understand, and fully compre
hend how much of It is now Idle in
the country, and Idle not from choice.
Every day we see men looking for
employment, expressing themselves
as willing to do anything that will
bring bread to their families. It is
well enough to tell them to go to the
country and got work, but that does
not provide it for them. The people
in the country aro reducing their
farms, and in oyory way curtailing
their expenses, by doing the work
themsolves. The demand for labor
is not so groat as formerly, and in
many Instances they would bo una
blo to food a man for his labor. A
greut number of those people havo
more than ordinary capacity. Wo
think it hard indeed that a man of
character and integrity is forced
to loavo his home, bocauso
he cannot get employment sufficient
to feed himself ami his family. This
class of whom wo allude do not be
long to the herd of men who would
not work if it was offered, but they
arc staunch men that the reverses of
fortune liuvo left penniless. They
cannot go on a farm and compete with
a negro whoso muscle has boon
trained to manage the plow and han
dle the hoe and the axe. He has no
money; theroforo, can’t rent land,
buy mules, and provisions and imple
ments. He must, if he works, be
paid, In order to support his family.
There arc some things that some
men cannot do, even if the work was
offered them. The negro can get
along whore the white man will
starve, for he has no pride, and if he
can’t get money will work for old
clothes, old shoes, or take a dime for
holding a gentleman's horse. These
things a white man, who has been
reared In wealth and luxury, or one
that is educated and has been raised
among gentlemen, cannot do.
How are we to provide work for
them ? We certainly cannot do it by
spending the public money in bring
ing emigrants to tho South, for al
ready, the “heathen is at your door,”
and demands work. The South does
not need emigration as long as capi
tal is not here. When we bring Euro
pean or Northern capital to build up
industries among us,then they will bo
fed. Instead of sending away for
everything you use, procure them at
home. Sustain your home manufac
tures, foster every industry that will
furnish employment to your people,
invest your money in home enter
prises, and instead of having to beg
emigrants to come, they will come of
their own accord. Then when wo
furnish our owu people with work,
others will come in search of work,
and other enterprises will bo accom
plished, and our people will be hap
py and prosperous. Nothing is more
hurtful to the individual or to society
than idleness, and it behooves every
community to prevent it by supply
ing work.

The Daily Time*.
We hail with triumph tho appear
ance of anew paper in Columbus.
On the first, day of this new year tho
Daily Times, under the pilotship of
Charles H. Williams, Esq., us editor,
and Jesse B, Wright & Cos., us pub
lishers and proprietors, made its bow
to the Fourth Estate. We havo re
ceived the first number, and the mere
glancing at it filled us with inexpres
sible joy; for we felt, sincerely, that
Columbus had at last given birth to
a journal that could represent its no
ble and generous people. It is de
voutly to be wished that the Times
will never die. Its corps is a strong
one. The very names attached to it
indicate that it’s all right, and will
never go down for the lack of energy,
pluck and brains. We hope that
every good citizen in and around Co
lumbus will have his namo upon the
subscription book, and the price in
the till of tho Times, before tlie end
of January. The Dally is SB. Our
merchants of Talbot ton should send
down their names. Farmers of Tal
bot, if you want a daily paper, take
this. From our heart we sav, Cod
bless the Times I— l'albotton Standard.

The majority of stockholders in
this largo corporation havo decided
in favor of the policy which should
control its future operations, at least
to the extent of twelve months. The
contest over tho directorship has
been conducted with vigor on both
sides, if we are to draw any conclu
sions from the conversation' current
on t lie street, and as it seemed to be
narrowed down to the simple ques
tion of sustaining tho policy of the
road, or inaugurating anew one,
there cannot and should not beany
personal feeling about the result, nor
do we know that there is. Under all
tho circumstances, we think, possi
bly, it was the wisest policy for the
stockholders to place upon (lie old
direction the seal of their confidence
and tho approval of their actions.
Now that the policy of the past has
met witli approval, wo trust that
prosperity will beam on this compa
ny, which is so identified with our
city’s welfare, and that the future
will be bright and glorious, bringing
large dividends to the stockholders
and plenty of business to our mer
chants. — Sac. Atlr.

To the American People, Whereas,
Gen. .Sheridan, now in command or

date of tlie 4th instant, has addressed
a communication to Belknap, Secre
tary of War, in which lie represents
the people of Louisiana at large, as
breathing vengeance to all lawful au
thority, and approving of murders
and crimes, wo, tho undersigned, be
lieve it our duty to proclaim to the
whole American people, that these
charges are unfounded and erroneous,
and lean have no other effect titan
thutof securing tho interest of cor
rupt politicians, who are at this mo
ment making tins most extreme ef

The Cotton Exchango of New Or
leans denounces him as a liar, and so
does the Board of underwriters.
Hear it:
New Orleans, Jan. C -At a special
meeting of tho hoard of underwriters,
the following report of the committee
appointed at a previous meeting was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That this board has read
with feelings of deepest, sorrow and
mortification tho published insane
dispatch of Gen. P. H. Sheridan to
the Honorable Secretary of War, un
der date of tlie 4th inst.
2. That weesteem it a wanton, gross
and unju&tillablo wrong and libel on
the fair fame of every person in our
State and city. Tills board lias been
established for purely commercial
purposos; no political question lias
over been discussed or proposed; but,
in view of this criminal outrage on
the best interests of our city, by a
stranger in temporary power, it not
only warrants but demands from us
an expression of our unqualified de
nial of those vile aspersions upon our
citizens.
3. That we give assurance to our
brother underwriters at. tho North
and West that we claim to be true
and loyal citizens of the United
States, and, as such, are law-loving
and law-abiding people; and that
life and property are as stife with us
as with them, for the truth of which
we confidently appeal to the whole
army of Knights Templar, from every
State in the Union, who recently
visited our city.
4. That we cannot but express our
surprise that any one occupying the
position of Gen. Sheridan should pre
sume to such knowledge of his al
leged important facts upon such brief
opportunities as he possibly could
have during the short time he lias
been in the South; and the only ex
cuse wo find for such utterances is a
suggestion that comes to us this
morning from New York that this
dispa tell was written in Washington
and sent to General Sheridan before
he left ills Northern command.
5. That we earnestly appeal to our
Northern brethren, to the Congress
of the United States, to their love of
liberty and justice, to afford to us the
protection from this present violence,
and from any wrong and outrage
which may follow; which, as fellow
citizens of this great country, we have
a right to demand; and wo'cordially
indorse the manly and patriotic ex
pressions of the Cotton Exchange at
their last meeting.

Suspicious Character. A man
calling himself Sam DeYiere, was ar
j rested under suspicious eireumstan-
I ees iu this city on Tuesday night last
and lodged in the guard house. He
protended to be very indignant, at Ids
arrest, and refused to answer any
questions excel it to give his name.
Ho won't tell where he is from, or say
anything calculated to establish his
identity. It is almost certainly known,
however, that ho recently escaped
from jail in Macon, Ga., where ho
was confined us a murderer under
the name of Gray. The middle lin
ger of his right hand is gone, as aro
also his jaw teeth, and he has a sear
over lilh right eye. These defects
answer to the description of Gray as
given in an advertisement offering u
reward for lii.'i arrest.
Tho fact that he stubbornly refuses
to answer reasonable questions,
show conclusively that something is
wrong about his antecedents, be
cause, if he is not the man he is be
lieved to he, ho would quickly estab
lish that fact, and ho would imme
diately secure his release. Steps
have been taken to make the terra
pin show ids head, oral least, to
prove that, he is in the shell.

Tho same paper lias the following
particulars of a horrible attempt at
assassination that occurred at ('apt.
S. Wilson’s store, in Effingham enmi
ty, last Saturday night:
At about seven o’clock of that
night, while Captain Wilson was
about closing his store, a gun was
tired directly in front of the door.
At this time there were several cus
tomers in the store, both white and
colored, and among the whites was a
very worthy young man, named
Calvin H. Wolfe, who was stand
ing near the door and about to leave
for his homo in company with a
friend. He was called out bv a negro
by tho name of Ponipey Dudley. He
stepped out to see what he wanted,
and on getting within ten feet of him
was fired on by the negro, who had a
double-barreled gun. He received the
whole contents of one barrel in his
right thigh. Dr. Robert G. Norton
was immediately sent for and the
wounded man carried to the residence
of Captain S A. Wilson. On tho ar
rival of Dr. Norton lie examined the
injuries of Air. Wolfe and found that
he hail been wounded by a load of
number eight shot, and being so close
at the time, nearly the entire charge,
including the wadding, had penetra
ted iiis thigh, shattering the bone,
and lodging against it.
A Volume ix Twelve Lines. We
have read many columns of philo
sophical discussions concerning the
relation of the two races tit the South
ns affected by Radical legislation
since tlie war, but nothing that com
pares in terseness and point with the
following from a negro philosopher
who, according to the St. Louis
Democrat [Radical] set fort it his views
as follows:
"You know do turkey, he roost oil
do fence, and de goosc'lie roost on de
ground. You pule de turkey off de
fence and he will git up again. You
erap his wings, but somehow or nud
der he gwine to get back on de fence.
Now you put de goose on de fence an
he fall off ;he don’t belong dar. De
turkey am de white man. He’s
down, but is gwine to get up again.
De liiggeris de goose. He better stay
whar he b'lougs.”

Tlie Cincinnati Commercial’ll Wash
ington telegrams of Sunday morning
say that “One of the plans of the
Southern Republicans which lias
been determined upon by tho caucus
committee, is to propose the increase
of tlie standing army to 100,(XX) men."
Wo are then assured that “thispropo
sition will be submitted to Congress
from tiffs source directly ufter the
holidays.” Under ordinary circum
stances we would be inclined to think
tho correspondent crazy who should
publish such a statement regarding
the purposes of men who, whatever
may be their lack of tho higher quali
ties of manhood, to say nothing of
their total lack of statesmanship, are
at least presumably in their right
minds. It will probably be difficult
to convince Northern men that even
the worst panic-stricken carpet-bag
ger in the South could seriously en
tertain such a monstrously preposter
ous iproject as the increase of the
standing army to 100,U00 men. There
is no prejudice so deeply rooted, no
aversion so implacably fixed in tho
American mind, as that against tlie
employment of a large standing
army. Whatever may be the diver
gence of views among individual
citizens upon the common political
Issues of tho day, there are a few
points upon which nearly all men
agree, and first among these points is
an inflexible opposition to tho main
tenance of a large military force by
the Federal Government. So intense
is the national distaste for milt%ry
service, and so irksome are the re
straints of military life in time of
lienee, that it is almost Impossible to
keep the handful of u regular unity
we now maintain recruited up to even
the numerical minimum of rank and
file. The army now consists of 25,-
000 men of all arms in round num
bers. If all the organizations in the
service were recruited up to the maxi
mum, the rank and file of tlie army
would number 45,000 men, which
would be the largest number possible
without creating new regiments.
But it is well understood among
military men, and among'civilians
who have given the matter uny atten
tion, thnt it would be utterly impos
iblo to enlist the 20,(W0 recruits re
quisite to fill up the existing organi
zations, even in these times when so
many men are out of employment,
without the inducements of large
bounties. In short, it is doubtful if
any proposition could be made iu
Congress that would meet witli sucli
utter and universal derision as one to
augment the force of the regular
army. Hence we say that under or
dinary circumstances, we would
think that correspondent crazy who
should attribute such a design to any
man or body of men in our national
councils. But in this ease, we are
in possession of facts which eorobo
rate the assertion of the correspon
dent in question, and produce them
for the purpose of demonstrating
how utterly wild and demoralized
the carpet-baggers of the South have
become under the influence of the
terror which seized them when the
election returns began to roll in. The
Chattanooga Convention, as is well
known, did not fulfill its mission. It
was suddenly seized with tlie grips,
or something of that sort, and was
incapaciateil from developing the
hulk of its projects; and one of the
bright schemes thus untimely nipped
was an exhaustive statement setting
fourth the strength, resources and
purposes of the White League, view
ed from the carpet-bag stand-point,
! which statement was to be supple
i merited with an earnest call for more
j troops and an equally heartfelt
! prayer for an increase of the regular
army, in order to meet the demand.
The original design was to incorpo
rate into the address of the conven
tion, a summary of these statements
and their aoeompaning recommenda
tion, but the judgment of Senator
, West and others, prevailed to the ex
! tent of striking out the recommenda
tion for an increase of tho army,
! leaving merely tho summarize I
j statement concerning the -White
1 League.
i Tho detailed information as to the
j League, along with the arguments of
j ex-Gov. Davis, the negro Long, of
Georgia, and others in favor of an in
! crease in the force of the army, was
\ turned over to the “committee on
facts (sic) and “statistics.” We there
| fore infer that this precious cornmit
i tec is about to make its “report,” and
thnt among its recommendations
i will lie the one which was smothered
I in the Chattanooga convention as we
have indicated. Wo have already ob
served thnt even this bare mention
of such a project will be likely to
meet the derision of our readers.
But we must remind them that ex-
Gov. (Davis was crazy enough to imag
ine that Congress would mlistrictthe
State of Texas, and that several of
the Georgia delegates were confident
that tlie Federal authorities would
order n new election in that State.
We do not imagine that the leaders
of tlie Republican party in Washing
ton will over permit such a recom
mendation to see tho light, coming
even from tlie carpet baggers ; \>o
eauso, however panic stricken and
crazed the latter may he at the pros
pect of being overtaken by justice,
surely Blaine. Garfield and Republi
cans of that stamp still have control
enough over them to keep them from
openly provoking Sam Cox to move
for a commission Ue lunatico im/in
rendo upon tlie Republican party in
the South. However, tlie fact is worth
adverting to, as an index of tho con
dition, mental and moral, to which
eight years of coddling and protect
ing them at the national expense
have reduced the carpet-baggers and
the negro politicians of the South.
They have become so blind and be
sotted that they have forgotten even
that plainest rudiment, of our na
tional education the traditional op
position to standing armies. Poor
wretches! They are almost pitiable.
