NAsHvrLLE, MAY 2
Nacox.. Ga, Mar 2-There are several
agents in this city trying to indnces freednea
to 90 west to work on railroads, ConsideFa-
BILE danger to the cotton crop is apprshendsd
if the yield to tha inducements held out. q
The orders Of Captain NJ. A. Oochraa, di--
recting that. after tomorrow all freedmen
fonnd vandefirg about town shalt be arrested
as Migrants and pat at work in the public
streets,-is causing much comment and appre-
hension among the freedmen 1t is probably
stretch of authority on the part Of Cochran.
General Tillson, Freedmen's Bureau Com
missioner for Georgia, describes the south
we5eTn part Of the Stah Is quiet and order
ly, except Stewart County. Everything
works well in Middle Georgia. In the river
counties, in the eastern part OF the State.
considerable lawlessness still exists. He ex-
poets great food of immigration into Geor-
gia next fall.
The white people at Augusta. as well as at
other points, south, have recently made great
parade in decorating the graves of the rebel
dead with flowers, while the graves OF Union
soldiers were passed coldly by, the colored
people at August determined yesterday to re-
pair the omtnission.. Accordingly they as
sembled at one of their school houses, near
the cemetery, with flowers. wreates and ban
ners. Tyeir teachers, white and black, ac
companied them, aud in peaceful procession,
they marched TO deposit their offerings upon
the graves Of the nations dead. A more
touching spectacle, and one which will APP
peal more forcibly to every human heart, was
seldom seen. Bnt. incredible to tell, the pro-
cession was met at the gates of the cemetery
bv the Mayor of the city and strong force
of police, and, despite the, remon-,
strances Of Captain Bryant, and the en-
treaties of the teachers, and tears
of the poor negroes, was sternly
refused admission. To the credit of Gen.
Brannon, commanding the Department, and
of Gen Tilsnn,. both when called upon by
the Mayor of the city asking them to inter
fere and prevent the proposed denomination,
declined 10 dose. Rebels say that both ex-
pressed themselves as opposed to it. but this
/ cannot believe. Thus does the malignant
shirt Of treason represented by the city Off
cials of Augusta, prevent even poor negroes
from strewing flowers upon the graves of
Union soldiers. When the negroes found
they would not be allowed to render this trib.
ute to the nations dead. they quietly, but
tearfully, dispersed.
The last volunteer troops left Savannah yes
terday for the North. They belong to the
10th New York.
The Chattahoochie Manufacturing Compa-
ny are erecting, near West Point. building
in which can be run $4,000 spindles. They
will start with 5000.
The Alabama l., Georgia Manufacturing
Company is building seven miles below West
Point, and will go into operation with $500
spindles and l20 looms.
At a torch1ght procession in Mobile re.
Gently. large crowd of young men traversed
the streets. knocking down every negro they
met Only one of the rufians was arrested.
He was tiued fifty dollars. There was pre-
tence of sending out an extra police force to
check the outrage, but this was mere farce.
Mobile papers mildly deprecate the young
mems conduct.
Most of the rivers in the interior of Ala
bama have overlooked their banks, doing
much damage to fences and crops.
Negro was shot and killed on the corner
OF Jackson and Court streets, Mobile, night
before last. Some assert that he threw a
sthne at some ladies, but no evidence to show
this was adduced before the coroners court.
Mobile is looking forward to the finishing
of her great cathedral, begun in 1889. Three
months more will probably see the work CON-
pleted.
