The Expected Proclamation.

The following extracts from on
article In the Richmond Times are
very appropriate:
Our people have been so long and
severely tried in the school of adver-
sity, that + is almost unnecessary to
admonish . .em that for many months
after the Presidents proclamation of
restored peace, q host of dangers will
beset our path. Ordinarily, men who
have been long deprived of the qua,.-
tim of physical and intellectual Ii
berty, which is essential to happiness,
indulge in dangerous excesses when
freed from all restraints.
When the military shall be with
drawn, our enemies are blatant in
their prophecies of speedy political
and social chaos and anarchy at the
South. They have an amiable habit
of ascribing to the presence and in
timidating influence of the military
authorities that good order which has
relgned supreme at the South for ten
months. They insist upon it that
the President is about to unlock the
doors of cage in which most flu
rlous and voracious beast is confined.
In anticipation OF the predicted
bound and roar of the liberated South
ern "Gyascutis, the correspon-
dents of the radical journals have
already scampered up the tallest trees,
as the monkeys OF Africa do when a
tawny lion energies from his lair, and
are chattering their apprehensions at
terrible rate. GAS soon as peace is
proclaimed, they yell, in full chorus,
s'the reconstructed rebels will renGe,
the lives and property of every origi-
nal Union man and freedman unsafe ~
Every Reconstructed patriot will, it
is predicted, roam about like mo-
dern Dragon of Wantley, devouring
the 1oroteges of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau, and swallowing f'the ever faith
full" without pinning their ears back.
Our suspicious may do these Jcre-
miahs of the radical party injustice,
but we fear they will be sadly disap-
pointed and feel that they have been
badly treated if the Southern people
do not behave very badly after the
Presidents proclamation of peace.
While the people of the South will
send forth universal prayer of
thanksgiving for the crowning act of
Executive justice, we feel assured
that they will, by their humanity to
the freedmen" and their kindly re-
lations with the "ever faithful, -
strengthen the arm of the Executive,
and confound his and our enemies.

stitution and the Union. To Demo
Gratis, I say, throw aside party and
come up. A voice-The Democratic

Great and prolonged applause. I
call on oil patriots to come up and
support Andrew johnson, which is
maintaining the Constitution and the
Union. I say it to you in frankness
that it will not do to bring q party; it
must be the people. That party
which, as mere party, who said the
war was failure, is dead and gone.
I was Democrat until by its own
foolish acts it dissolved itself I have
been present at the birth of parties
and at their funerals.
When, in 1S47, the Democratic
party undertook to force slavery into
the Territories, and it dissolved on that
issue, I told them in the convention
which nominated Gen. Cass, that the
party would dissolve; that on that
rock it would be dashed to pieces.
Gen. Taylor was elected, and Califor-
Mia came in free State. The repeal
of the Missouri compromise again
dissolved the party, for that measure
brought on the war. But let the
dead bury its dead; let us all, Wings
and Democrats, unite, hand to hand,
heart to heart, around Andrew John
son, the Constitutional President,
who has sworn to maintain and de-
fend the Constitution. Great ap-
plause.
I tell you, I believe in him. His
history is such as to command my
confidence and faith in his integrity.
By innate force of character, he has
raised himself from the humblest
condition in the land to the highest
place on earth. No man lives who
loves liberty more than he. Patriot
ism is religion with him. He, BY
his whole life, has demonstrated that
he possesses that which is not con-
fined to palace OF manger, belongs
not to the prince more than the pea

him one of natures noblemeu Mr..

BALTIMORE, Nd, Feb. 26, 1866.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 26, 1866.
DEAR PHOENIX: Yesterday forenoon
Il enjoyed the exquisite pleasure of
hearing Bishop o. A. Andrew preach
from Romans, fourteenth chapter,
seventh and eighth verses. His theme
was the unselfishness of Christianity,
as exemplified in the lives of those
who live unto God and for the good
of each other. There were no fash
ing corruscations of genius in the
sermon, yet there was beautiful
simplicity and common-sense applica-
ton of truth which well adapted it to
the comprehension of the most illite-
rate, and still did not offend the taste
of the most fastidious. He talked
like an aged and sweet-tempered pa
triarch addressing his own children.
The bishop is. more than seventy
years old, has been an active itinerant
more than half century-more than
thirty years of which time he has
been faithfully exercising the episco-
pal functions. Perhaps no man of
this century has done and suffered
more, in proportion to his abilities,
for the sake of sound Scriptural
truth, than Rev. Bishop O. A. An
drew, d. D. Time and care have left
their impress upon him, yet his sweet
ness of temper and amiability of dis
position give him placid, serene an
lovely countenance May the old
Christian hero still live to fill up many
years of usefulness to the church and
the country.
In the afternoon, I attended an
other Sunday School missionary cele-
bration, and listened to several inte-
resting addresses from the boys of the
school. By the way, there is quite
Sunday School revival among all the
churches in this part of the country,
and especially is this the case in the
Methodist E Episcopal Church. This
being the centenary of American Me-
thodism, great plans are being elabo-
rated and large collections raised for
the promotion of the interests of the
Methodist Episcopal Church One
hundred years ago, Philip Embury
addressed five persons, who became
the nucleus of the Methodist Church
on this continent; and to-day she has
nearly 10000 ordained ministers,
about 2, 900, 600 adult members, nearly
1900, 900 Sunday School scholars, and
more than 8, 900, 900 of persons under
her direct influence.
At night, heard Rev. J. w. Start
preach from Matthew, fifth chapter,
seventh verse. His theme was JUS
tice and mercy, in the discussion of
which he proved clearly that the
latter virtue was as important as the
former, and in most cases more ne
cessary. His oratory was poor, but
his logic was good. OMEGA.

GENERAL FoRREsT's s'ARREsr. -
The announcement made by some of
our city contemporaries, of the
arrest of General Forrest, may
mislead persons at distance. The
arrest is nothing more than service
of notice by the Marshal of the
Indictment for treason, found months
ago in Judge Trigg's Court, against
some two hundred or more of our
citizens, General Forrest among the
number. A very large number of
these were disposed of at the last
term of the Court, by the discharge
of the persons indicted. General
Forrest not being here, no notice was
served upon him until the other day,
when he entered into the usual re-
cognizance to appear at the March
term, when his case will most likely
take the same course as other similar
ones which have been disposed Of

Emigration and Immigration.

Emigration and Immigration.
A Rio Janeiro correspondent Of the
New York Herald furnishes an inte-
resting statement of the schemes for
emigration from the, Southern States
to Brazil. The correspondent ac-
companied General Wood, the agent
of q number of Southern associations,
in his exploring trip. On his arrival
at Rio Janeiro, General Wood was re-
ceived with courtesy and attention,
by the officials and the people gene
rally. He had interviews with the
Emperor and all his ministers, and
received promises of all the land he
required. .aaf the minimum government
price, Immediate citizenship for r>all
colonists, freedom of religion and the
press, control of their own municipal
regulations and educational institu-
tions, and free Importation for five
years of all necessary articles. From
Rio Janeiro General Wood and party
passed into the anterior of the country
to make an inspection of it, trans
portation being furnished them gra-
tuitously, and in all the towns they
were received with ovations, enter
tanned at balls and dinners and enthu-
siastically welcomed. Of the cha
racter of the country and its
inhabitahts,. the climate, soil, pro-
ductions and customs, this correspon-
dent gives a graphic and entertaining
account. The General will report
favorably on the projected emigra-
ton thither.
This is all very hattering in its
prospects, but it hehooves our South
ern people to consider and inquire,
whether the inaanig,atious of white
labor to their own plantations and
farms will not be much more favor
able to the development of G L re-
sources, than the abandonment Of
their estates by the planters of the
South. Is
There is no doubt but that the
efforts of the radicals, and others OF
that stripe, are directed to keep white
labor from coming to the South. And
yet, in juxtaposition to these efforts,
we have these emigration schemes,
which we have no hesitation in say
ing are inimical to the best interests
of the Southern country We have
no objections to the giving of fail
trial to the freed labor Of the South
its old labor-but the short expert
ence thus far is not encouraging. Let
us try white labor, and especially, lei
not our white planters and capitalists
desert their country.
