General Humphreys, Governor Elec

General Humphreys, Governor Elect
Fhe returns as far as heard from indicate
that Gen. Humphreys is largely the
question of his eligibility if elected, will
probably be decided before the coming
Legislature, as the Presidents proclama-
ton declares that the question of eligbil-
ity to State officers must be decided
either by the Conven ton Or subsequent
Legislature. There is a clause ordained
by the Convention which defines the re-
quirements OF eligibility. 1t may be neces-
sary to test this ordinance before our
judicial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 4th
Before the election, the News signal
lzed its devotion to its own choice, by
sssaiIng the eligibility of Gen.. Hum
phreys, because he had not been pardon
ID Now the Mississippian does the same
thing, by hints as to State laws which
will have to be iudicialIy tested
1t is all bosh Gen. Humphreys IS eli
gible. The recent decision of the Attor-
ney General of the United States, relative
70 naval officers not pardoned, settles the
question as to pardon being necessary.
But the Mississippian raises a new ques
ton, by intimating that the Legislature
will have to pass upon his eligibility, and
that it may even become pecessary TO
submit the matter To judicial test. Well,
let it come. We guarantee that Gen. Hum
phreys will shrink from no test of the
sort. But the people of this State have
chosen Gen. II. to be their Governor, and
woe be to the man who undertakes to
thwart their wishes. The only addition
Al qualification required by the State Con.
vention to the former test of eligibility, is
to take the amnesty oath. Gen Hum
phreys has taken that solemn obligation,
in all good faith, and who can say, that
knows Benjamin G. Humphreys, that he
will not stand by it. with the fidelity of a
hightoned, christian gentleman and
soldier. Gen. Humphreys has served Mis-.
sissippi in council and in camp, and the
devotion he has exhibited to her in the
past is the best pledge of how true he will
be at this, her darkest hour. If there is
4 man who has the interests of the State
at heart-who loves his proud "old moth

-whowill strive to bring Ter back to the
Union, with honor untarnished-thai

cardsn Work for October


As frosts are TO be expected about the
last Of this month few seeds can now
be sown with safety. Amongst the few
seeds that may be sown are Onions, Pars-
nips, Turrips, Mustard, Radishes; !; Early
York and other Spring Cabbages. in beds
in which they may be protected as also
Lettuce, Celery, Parsely, &c. If any
Drumhead or Savoy Cabbage or Lettuce
plants not yet set out, attend to them
first showers. Celery, planted in Au
gust, will not require to have the earth
frequently stirred around it, and "a little
earth drawn round it, when dry if wet
it will rust. During the first two or three
earnings the leaf.stems must be held
together and erect with one hand whilst
the earth is pressed to them with the
other. Haul plenty of manure on your
garden, have it we'll spaded, burying
under all enriching animal or vegetable
matter. Transplant Broccoli, Cabbages,
Celery, "Collards," &c, Work and ma

to give them a liberal top dressing OF
salt before Spring. Save all the bones,

heaps for future use. Plough and SUBJ
soil your ground for the planting Of young
orchards. Bushes OF Egg Plants and
Tamatoes may be taken up before frost
and hung up under shelter they will
continue to ripen the fruit set upon them
when those left in the garden are black
ened and rotted by frost. November,
December, and January are the best
months for planting trees, vines, &c.
Strawberry beds may now be prepared,
and the plants set out any time during
the Fall or Winter. A cool, moist soil,
rich in vegetable matter, suits this fruit
best, in our sultry climate. Spade or
trench plough the ground as deeply as

A SENSIBLE PRoPosITIoN.--We are told
by New York telegram that the Presi-
dent has received an application from
the Chamber Of Commerce of Cincinnati
that the freedmen along the Mississippi
river will repair the broken levees on the
lower coast of that river. 1t is proposed
that after completing the levees a tax be
levied upon the land owners benefited
by the improvement. Secretary McCul
loch thus endorses the matter. assuming
that in the present condition of the freed
men, and if that part Of the country is as
represented, it would appear advisable
that some plan to meet the exigencies oI
the situation should be divised. The
papers were referred to the Commission
ers Of Freedmen's Affairs. Gen. Howard
has referred them to Col. Eaton, Assist
ant Commissioner We hope Col. Lator
will approve the apr location. Until thu
levees are rebuilt but little farming viii
be done along the Mississippi. Th'
negroes themselves are deeply interested
in this matter.

Gen. Grant was looked for there last

his arrival several important military
measures will be adopted, among which
will be the withdrawal of most of the

STATE CAPITOL !
MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA,
September q, 1865. !

To HIS ErceLLency ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of tie United. States
The undersigned, Delegatesto the Con-
Vention of the people of Alabama, now in
session, respectfully and earnestly ad-
dress your Excellency in behalf of Jeffer-
son Davis, late President of the late Con
federate States.
Mr.. Davis is in confinement, as we are
advised. under a charge of treason against
The U. States which, if sustained, musl
be sustained upon the ground of acts per-
formed by him as President of said Con-
federate States, or as Commander in Chief
of its forces.
Mr.. Davis was, by the unanimous voice
of the Provisional Con gress, called to the
Chief Magistry, and by the unanimous
voice of the people of the States compos.
ing said Confederacy, was elected to the
Presidency and for a considerable por
ton of the term was sustained by the
people with almost entire unanimity
We do not propose to argue the ques,
ton of the right OF the States TO sece3e,
and 10 maintain that right by force if ne
cessary. The argument on both sides is
exhausted; the appeal to arms has set
lied the question forever, and the people
of. tha South are daily giving unmistak-
able evidence .of,their acqaiesence in the
decision. State after State is wheeling
into line; the authority of the Unied
States is. everywhere admitted and will
| ingly conformed- to; and the Southern
people. with as great unanimity as they
endeavored to dissolve the Union, are
now willing and desirous TO resume in a
iraternal spirit their cid relations.
