The Hiring of Ncgroes-Contrncts Be-
tween tho Planters and the Freed
men.
As such q thing as hiring all the
farm hands has heretofore been I'M
usual in this State, it VIII manifestly
be to the interest OF both the black
man and the white that system of
rules and regulations be adopted, in
order that each party may know his
duty and how to perform it; because,
if each one should labor when he or
she pleases, without regard to the
condition of the crop, it is probable
that nothing would be made, and both
parties would be losers. It is always
to the benefit of society and govern
ment that all its members act in con-
cert and harmony. and work together
for each others benefit. By so doing,
the whole community is enriched, the
general tone of society is elevated,
ennobled and purified, and the better
actions and direct our conduct. Here
toforc, you, the blacks, have been
slaves with no responsibilities, and
butfew cares. But now, as far as the
whites are concerned, you assume the
duties of freemen, and it will become
you to begin from this day to study
in what manner you may best serve
your own interests. To yOur en-
ployer, if he is just and kind to you,
be accommodating and obliging, and
50 endeavor to discharge your part of
the contract, and to acquit yourself of
your duties as to leave no cause for
dissatisfaction on his part. BY thus
doing, you will soon win good name,
and your wages viii be proportionate-
ly higher.
Col Davis, in charge of the Freed
mems Bureau at Clarkesville, Tenn,
has adopted the following:
RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR FARM
HANDS.s
l. One-half of the wages Of the en-
ployee will be retained by the en-
ployer until the end of the contract,
for its faithful performance.
2. The employees Will be required

and take care Of the stock allotted to
him, OF perform any other business
that may be assigned him; to eat their
breakfast and be ready for work at

the sun is half an hour high. AL time
lost after the signal is given, will be
deducted.
3. No general conversation will be
allowed during wol King hours.
4. Bad work will be assessed at its
proper value.
5. For disobedience, one dollar Will
be deducted.
6. Neglect Of duty and leaving with
out permission will be considered

7. No live stock will be permitted

The Southern Methodist Church is
q special object of attack. Its posi-
ton is grossly, and wilfully, and con-
stantly misrepresented. A specimen
of this kind of thing is in the last
issue of Ha'pe1's Journal Of Cioiliza-
ton, (save the mark q paper devot-
ing its pictorial talents to the promo.
ton of civilization in the same line
as the lower class of ''Life in Boston
Now, the Messrs. Harpers. are Metho-
dists, and ought to have known better
than to make o statement like the
following in their editorial OF Satur-
day:
''Where do we find proof of ac-
ceptance?' The Southern Methodist
Church separates from. the Northern
Methodist Church on the ground of
slavery: slavery is abolished by the
war. Does the Southern Church ac-
cept the result? On the contrary, it
refuses reunion"
And the Methodist and the Christian
Aacocate are weekly harping on the
same string.
Every well informed person knows
that the above extract from Hnper's
Journal contains at least three dis
tlnct statements or implications con-
trary to historic truth: 1. The South
ern Church did not separate from the
Northern. 2. The ground of division
was not merely slavery. 3. The
Southern Church did not refuse re-
union. The Methodist Episcopal
Church in America divided by an aS7S
OF It's highest legislature the General
Con1erence-in 1914, which act was
passed 10y body of which q majority
were Abohtionists. Can any man
deny that? Then, what an outrage is
it to stigmatiZe the Southern Church
as schlsmatic? The North separated
from the South, % much as the South
dld from the North. Nor was slavery
the only difficulty. The Northern
Methodist preachers had become DO
htlcal and social agitators; they sub
stltuted the commands of men for the
law of God. There were for maxine
terms of membership not known to
Christ, or the Apostles, or the Holy
Sculptures.
1t is not true that the Southern
Church refused to re-unite.> No offer
has been made them. No Northern
General Conference has met to make
the propositions and no Southern
Conference to accept or reject Let
the world remember forever, what the
Northern Methodists seem exceeding
ly anxious to have forgotten, that at

treason, whether behind the Notifications Of
Wilmington or behind professions OF loyalty

BRAZILIAN AyrAiRs.-0fioial correspondence
shows that on the 18th ult. the Brazilian Charge
d'Afairs asked for an explanation and repara.
ton of the seizure of the Florida, which his
government considered as the individual act OF
the wachusett, not authorized or approved by
his government.
Secretary Seward replied that jealousy Of for.
eign Intervention in any form, and absolute
non. intervention In the domestic affairs Of for.
eign nations, are cardinal principles in the pol.
icy OF the United States. You have, therefore,
justly expected that the President would disa.
VOW and regret the proceedings at Bahia; he
will suspend Capt. Collins, and direct him tU
appear before court martial.
The consul at Bahia admits that he advised
and melted the captain, and was active In the
proceedings; he will therefore be dismissed.
The flag OF Brazil will receive from the United
States navy the honor customary In the inter.
course Of friendly maritime powers.
The Secretary takes occasion to say that this
government disallows the assumption that the
insurgents Of this country are lawful naval bel
ligercnts, and maintains that ascription of that
character by the government OF Brazil to insur.
gent citizens Of the United States who hitherto
have been, and still are destitute Of naval forces
ports and courts, Is On act Of intervention and
derogation Of the laws Of nations, and unfriend.
ly and wrong, as II Is msnifestly injurious to
the United States.
Secretary Seward also says that although the
crew of the Florida are enemies OF the United
States, and, as We contend, Of the human race,
yet, as offenders, they were nevertheless unlaw.
fully brought into the custody Of this govern.
ment, and to the punishment which they have
deserved. They win therefore be set at liberty,
and seek refuge wherever they may find It, with
the hazard Of recapture when beyond the juris-
diction OF this government.

An OUTLAW Scrsz.-A feud OF long stand
ing, existing between billiard Turner and
Howard Edmonds, two noted guerillas Of the
Cumberland river border, resulted In bloody
tragedy on Saturday morning last. They
met at the house Of Mr.. Duncan, two miles
from Duncantown, in Montgomery county,
Tennessee, and, both being intoxicated, were
eager for an ARRAY. Edmonds was too fast
for Turner. He drew his revolver, placed
the mux.le to the neck of his deadly enemy,

corpse. Edmonds gloated with fendish do.

The evacuation Of Savannah, accomplished
without loss Of men, artillery or stores, will do
the Coufederacy no harm. Itispainful to learn
that the enemy has occupied any new piece OF
territory. any village or town and Savannah
is a considerable city, full of rich people, some
Of whom, we are sorry to hear, have always
been Yankees, but in all the South there Is not,
perhaps, another town which we could afford to
surrender with so little dminution Of fighting
lower. Savannah has not been port for
years.
The Yankees hold the forts in permanent pos
session which close the mouth Of the river. Sa-
vannah is not manufacturing town. Its cot
ton stores have been long since removed inland.
II has never been military depot. 1t Is the
gate of no interior. 1t rests on no line OF rail-

Of the Confederate transportation. Its loss

Savannah, would have been, and always will be,

The loss Of Savannah is no hurt to us. when
the whole garrison Is saved. The loss Of Vicks
burg would not have been irremediable, II Da-
Wis had not thrown away an army in II; and
the loss of Savannah is real gain when the
garrison increases the Confederate army in the
field, IL the enemy diminishes his army to fur
nish Federal garrison to Savannah.
This, however, he is not much likely to do.
In his usual balderdash, vain.g glorious and bonn
bastic Yankee style, Sherman tells his friends
that when the sun commences to move north

he will keep his word. and no conceivable him
