The south-western. [volume] (Shreveport, La.) 1852-1870, 1865-11-29

Jun1cIouS CRcULARs-Since his arrival in New Orleans
Gen, Fullerton has won golden opinions from all Of our
people whose good opinions worth having Familiar
with the president ard faithfully determined to carry
out his views, he unostentousy stepped into the
missonership vacated by the removal of Mr.. Conway
and at once by the application of practical judgment
and common appreciation ofthe fitness of things
brought order of chaos Before he came among us
the bayonet in the hands of the negro was rapidy
becoming only law The crushing of the rebellion
not enough for the auatca herd who set themselves
up as the prophets and priests of universal equality;
they clamored for the utter crushing out of those who
under mistaken notion of political rights had Joined
i'll the rebellion and the raising up their stead of an
inferior race, for whom they demanded the highest
privileges of citizenship. Freedmen who saw in free
dom vast array of magnificent vet Undesirable priv
eges but who knew nothing ofthat eternal vigilance
which is its price, to be raised above the white
people of the south who always had BEEN and Of right
should be, part and parcel of the government
Uuder government of the people there can be no re-
belll0n as the term IS understood in monarchca and
despOtIc lands The people here their own rulers
and they cannot rebel against themselves in the same
sense that subjects may rebel against emperors who
claim ga right divine to govern wrong There may be
grave quarFels under our form of government about
disputed rights but the weaker party must of necessity
submit to the stronger, ust in late election the
Union conservatives and radicals had TO submit to
the underlined democracy" To those who attempted
revolution in the south the cost truly fearful
They lost the accumulatons of half century and
among them the servant for a time became privileged
above his master. Under the teachings of incendary
missionaries, who had gone among them preach any
thing but peace the negroes became insolent defiant
anu SeDeFailI uelHOFailSeu urged To convert Louis
lana into another St Domingo unless the property of
their old masters were divided among them and electoral
privileges at conceded it is strange indeed
that their demoralisation did not violent
and decided shape Had they been OF the same temper
of their teachers the consequences might have been of
the most fearfc character
When Gen. Fullerton arrived here rain stared Louis
lana IN the face The labor system disorgansed
surrounded by artificial restrictions that planters were
ready to abandon their plantations rather than under
tske their cultivation. But within few weeks great
change has been wrought One udicous circular after
another has been issued from the headquarters of the
reedmens bureau in this city, till the people have be-
come inspired with hopes, and they are now re-
solved to battle brayey with the difficulties of their
situation. The conSiderate course pursued by Gen.
Fullerton has increased the confidence OF our citizens in
their respect for human nature. Among the most i'm
portant of the bureau circulars recently issued is that
IN regard to freedmCnS contracts. With stroke of his
pen Gen. Fullerton has swept away those complicated
and confused restrictions which left legacy by
Gen Banks when he shook off the dust of Louisiana
from his feet, and labor and capitol left to adj
just their relations according the natural laws of sun
ply and demand. This recognition of the generally
received principles political economy will have immc
date effect in advancing the agricultural interests of
the state, and will also prevent great deal of misery
among the less proydent members Of late servile
population. Another important circular suspends the
collection OF an arbitrary unequal, and illegal tax for
the alleged support of colored schools Ths~circuar
was, we are led to understand issued under direct
instructions from president Johnson; but the unequal
character of the tax, and other facts in relation to 1t
were doubtless communicated to our worthy chief mt-
lstrate by Gen. Fullerton himself. Under the circu1-
Stances the citizens OF Louisiana to Cen Fulleron
a debt of gratitude which they cannot readily repay
