EE- The Sunny South questions the
statement in the n Y. Tribune that
Col. Thomas, in his last report, claims
that much of the cheerful industry of
the freedmen is owing to the conf
dence they have in the military author
tiles to protect them in their personal
rights. 1t says:
We have had no garrison at Aber-
deem for many months, and no Bureau
official among us for some time, and
we question whether within the bounds
Of the South better state of feeling
exists between freedmen and whilOm
masters. We doubt very much wheth-
er an intelligent negro can be found
in Monroe county who would not OPP
pose, in opinion, the Introduction of a
garrison In fact, the freedmen have
had no more lawless oppressors than
the white Federal troops, whose favor
lite amusement has been everywhere to
wantonly abuse the negro simply be
cause of his color

The Memphis Avalanche pleads for
generosity and liberality on the part
Of the North. How it is treating
Northern men who have settled in
Memphis, the following extract from a
late number will show:
1--WE tell the people of Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas,
that the house of Wolcott, Smith Il
Co., is composed Of their worst enc
mics Every Southern man should
shun this house rs he would a foul
leprosv. Wolcott is a Radical he is
for negro suffrage, negro equality, ne
GRO bureaus, for acknowledgements
everything calculated to degrade his
neighbors, the men who feed him, and
the Southern man should fly from his
doors with the same instinct Of danger
that rats desert a burning barn. VOL
colts talk about his cheap goods is all
| fudge. Southern men-men that sup
port johnson, who are for peace, who
oppose negro equality and negro suf-
frage, and who are for the free-born,
native Tennesseans exercising all the
rights enjoyed by WOlcott, offer goods
for sale as cheap as he or any of his
radical confederates, and the Southern
man who passes by such men and gives
his patronage to his enemy, is an un-
principled migrate, and ought to join
| the Radicals at once"
The Avalanche may recommend
itself to q few hot-headed zealots il
Memphis by this course, but we have
our doubts whether sensible, rejecting
men approve it. 1t is not calculated
to promote the feeling at the Nortf
which the Avalanche desires to SCI
manifested towards its late confeder
ates in treason. That it will Prov

Wolcott, Smith u Co. is concerned, W,
do not doubt, but, in political sense
will it be as harmless to the people 70
whose complete restoration to all tn
rights of citizens of the United State
the Avalanche is laboring?
There is nothing more certain in tn
future than that the right to vote 70
such men and measures as the citizen

The Avalanche is doing positive injur
to the cause of the South, and, to tn
measure of it's influence, defeating tn

We have made pretty extensive
inquiries about the prospect for the next
crop in Pamela county, aud the result of
our Investigations is that the farmers are
doing remarkably well under the circum.
stances. The freedmen are working as
well as usual, and everything indicates
good crop. The greatest difficulty seems
tt be that everybody is disposed to
cultivate cotton to the exclusion of other
crops.-Star -k-f p- ,

re- There is rumor afoat that a
regiment Of soldiers will be sent here
shortly to protect the freedmen schools
in their operations. This would be
nothing surprising after the senseless
threats that have been made within the
past few days. 1t is just such COM
munications as that received by one of
the teachers of these schools that en-
tail on an orderly people the disagree
able presence of an armed force at a
time of profound peace. In our mind,
if Old Birthstone had his dues, his
muster roll would be increased several
files before tomorrow morning from
this section of country.

Ezsr We invite general attention to
the proceedings Of the Cotton growing
Association, which we publish this
morning Much valuable information
must necessarily be accumulated, sys-
tematized and disseminated by a well
organized association Of this kind
At present, however, our interests de
mand a refutation Of the extrayagant
estimates which have been made in re-
gard to the coming cotton crop by
parties who, actually knowing nothing,
with the characteristic self-sufficiency
of their section, assume to know all
about it. 1t is in vain to combat es-
Inmates with estimates. What should
poor, rude, uneducated Southern white
men know what have they right to
know, when the intelligent, refined, in
doctrinated, poke your nose every
where Yankee has spoken? We must
accumulate some of those stubborn
things that Mr.. Gradgrind was so
fond of, and prone that we know some
thing about what we have been all our
life time engaged in, before Southern
estimates of the cotton crop will be
received as authoritative in the markets
Of the world. When they shall be, an
honest price for our staple may be at
tainable, and not till then.
We hope the call for a meeting to-
morrow will be well responded to.

FIREPROOF SAFES, for the splendid manner in
which the safes of their make preserved their con
tents in the late Opera house fire which destroyed

them of the largest size all of which stood the most
tests to which any treproof safes have ever
been subjected All of these safes fell into the
burning mass of ruins, and were then exposed to a
intense heat from the burning debris which sur
rounded them, for from forty -six to one hundred

comprised an immense amount of money, bonds

pleased, and think that after this experience
