Word with Pen.

The American Colonization Society
was organized in the year 1916. It's
purpose was to send to Africa-to the
Colony of Liberia--such free colored
persons as would consent to GO free Of
all expenses, and to support them six
months after their arrival. The origin
was simple, the design supremely hu-
name, and the success has been far great
er than any of its friends hoped for, or
its foes feared. The subjects, it will be
remembered, were poor black men and
women-many of then just freed from
slavery-without education, limited in
all the resources of life, and destitute Of
all the lights of experience. Thus, the
great work was begun, and it has had
the sympathy and support of some yeo-
many Of the purest patriots our coun-
try has had, while its enemies have new
er been able to cry it down, except
through false accusations Its friends
have been tried and its defamers have
only proved to be false prophets. a
The colony grew amidst many obsta-
cles, and in lS47 was organized into a
Republican government They have
had two presidents, who have governed
eight years each. Their third president,
"Hon Daniel B. Warner" will be inau-
gurated on next Monday, the 4th of jan
uary, 1864
They have territory enough now in the
bounds of the Republic to sustain six
millions Of people. They have an in.
telligent negro nationality, and in indus
try, morality and the blessings of social
life, they viii compare we'll with other
nations. They have been acknowledged
as an independent power by t,OelUe of the
leading nations of the world They have
respectable little navy and well drill
ed home guard army. They have trading
ships, steam vessels, saw mills, sugar
mills, coffee hullers and cotton gins.
Their soil is the richest in. the world,
producing two crops a year, and many
of their farmers are living in large, we'll
built brick and stone houses, having all
the comforts OF life around tn en- They
have churches and schools all through
their settlem nts, and nearly all the chill

GA Fearful: lportrait.u

Under this impressive. lead the Philadel-
phia Sunday Mercury publishes the follow
ing extract from letter of O staff officer in
one.of the brigades of Sherman's Division
Of the Army of the Southwest. 1t is written
in camp OH the Tallahatchie river, and the
writer, says the Msscn,y, was decidedly op-
posed to, and used al his influence against
what he considered the absurd and suicidal
policy of protecting rebel property The
letter says:
believe the time has come when am
ashamed to acknowledge that belong to the
Union army. Of all the disgraceful pro-
ceedings that I ever witnessed, think what
have seen onthis march, caps the climax.
Two.thirds Of Sherman's army is composed
of new troops from Indiana, Illinois, and
Wisconsin, and they have como down here
with the intention. Of burning and destroying,
and well are they. carrying out their inten-
tons. The whole line Of our march is one
continued seems ofdestruction. Private dwell
ings burned, women and children. Iriven out
Of their houses and even the clothes stripped
from their backs, TO say nothing of acts
committed by the soldery which would al
most make the BLACKLIST hearted libertine
blush tor shame. This very day have wit
messed scenes fron which turn with outh-
ing and disgust. True stringent orders bave
been issued against these exccsses, but fear
they will do no good. The only sure remedy
is lor General Sherman to shoot about
dozen of these internal rascalsi in the presence
Of his whole division, but whether lie will
resort to any such stringent measure romans
to be seen. | have always blamed Union
Generals for guarding rebel property, but |
now see the necessity of it. Not 20 much to
save the property, but our own safety de.
mands it. Three weeks Of such unbridled
license would ruin our army.

A CorroN Panic l4sD ITS CAUSE.-THE
PAPER QuEsrloN.-Keferring to the cotton
panic" in Macon, the Telegraph Of that city
says:
@Cotton took terrible fright in the Ma
con market On Saturday. The spectators
had lnen footbslling it back and forth till
they had kicked it up 10 forty odd cents
pound; but Saturday morning kilograms
came from Augusta to buy no more over a
maximum OF twenty cents. This, you will
observe, LETT 4 somewhat broad margin be-
tween buyers and holders, and the result was
nothing done, nor was there any effort to
accommodate the difference. Nobody want
ed to buy. From al object OF too fond and
eager pursuit. cotton suddenly surk into
universal dis(avor.
The causes Of the sudden change were
numerous, but the principal ones were, no
doubt, lst. The Confederate tax on cotton
and ether produce in the hands of specua-
tive holders. Tie tax is ten per cent, or
ssy twenty dollars per bale, Another cause
was the failure Of the one acre bill III the

"Thus it will be seen that at the moment
