means defeat this fall to Governor
Fenton, to General Geary, and to the

THE SEA ISLAND LlANDs-The tele-
graph has announced the passage
by the Senate of the Freedmen's Bu-
reau bill, with amendments of some
Importance. These provided, among
other things, that the South Carolina
sea island lands occupied by the ne
groes under the order of Gen. Sher-
man should be surrendered to their
lawful owners on the 1st of January,
1867; and in lieu of these lands, the
negroes aforesaid might buy, in lots
OF twenty acres, at ST. 25 per acre, the
land acquired by Government under
tax sales. This amendment, how
ever, was further amended by pro-
vision declaring that the bill should
not confirm the tax titles acquired by
the Government by the sale to the
negroes, but should direct the exami-
nation of these titles.
This Is very we'll The land in
question is perhaps the most produc-
tive on the continent; i. e., it will net
more money to the acre than any
other land in the country. It is hard
that the owners should lose it, for
really their offence has been no
greater than that of the whole nation.
But it is a great folly to quarter the
negroes on this immensely valuable
land, which is not Mt all suited for
settlement in that manner The re-
suit of 1t would be that the negroes
would in few years have sold out
their land to some willy persons, who
would thus be put in possession of
them at low rates, while the rightful
owners may be suffering for the COM
mon necessaries of life. If the Fede-
raj Congress could forget fanaticism
for awhile, and look at the situation
OF affairs and the welfare of the negro
in a real, practical and humane light,
they would do things @ great deal
better, and leave much less to be un-
done. They may depend upon it,
they are accommodating q vast amount
Of work that has to be overhauled
and reformed altogether.

Some Home Truths.

The Land ,ce Lore, (Gen. Hills new
monthly in the opening article of
the first number, OH Education"
has told the South some wholesome
truths, even if they be not palatable.
General Hill takes the ground that
the education of the past, when pros
perity enabled the Southern man to
give his sons collegiate education,
must be buried with that prosperity.
And this should be gravely considered
by the Southern people, at this time.
The past should teach us many use
full lessons, and one of these is, as
we have intimated on several occa-
sions, in this journal that our young
men have heretofore been too much
educated for the world of politics,
and not for the useful walks and avo-
cations of life.
Tits men who can build locomo-
tives and ruiz them; men vino can
build factories and furnish us with
shirtings and calicoes; men who can
sell us lucifer matches, with a one
cent stamp ON each box, at not much
over that price per box; and these
are the sort of workers the South, in
her new position, needs.
We must have different system of
education, as we have to adopt new
system of labor. Our sons should be
practically educated for the active
business duties of life, and they will
do more for their country than if
they knew Virgil, Sallust or Homer
by heart. Every youth in our South
ern country, if educated as we try to
suggest. will do his share to the de-
velopment of the mighty resources
which crown every hillside, valley
and plain Of the teeming South.

RoGUES KILLED by LIGHTNING.
Four men who had committed some
crimes and We're being pursued by
officers of the law near Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas, recently took shelter
under tree during thunder storm,
when all four were struck by light

to say, the tree was untouched by the
electric fluid, at any rate exhibited
no traces Of it, while the ground was
torn up for several feet around.
Twenty eight Old School Presby-
terian ministers, and thirty-one rul-
ing elders of Missouri and other
States, have issued an address to the

Assembly, and calling conference

with them, to meet at ST. Louis on the
18th Of August, to debate on the
present state Of affairs in the church.

what WIN bo tho End.

The wise and patriotic in, the land
are beginning to be apprehensive of
the future of the republic, II. radical
legislation be permitted 70 go ON IN its
destructive course. Hence the move
ment just created by some of the few
patriots in Congress, under the sane
tion, We are informed, OF the Presi-
dent.
We hail this call for Union Con-
vention of the people of America, as
an omen of good, and, on the man
ner and measure to which it is re-
sponded to by the people of the
North, depends the fntrre veal and
stability of the country. Should they
go into it, half-hearted, or permit the
old party issues to divide or distract
them from an earnest and cordial
support of the Union and the common
policy of the President, we fear mis-
chievous legislation will ruin the in
terests of the country and blight the
hopes, that many of us entertain, for
q perfect restoration of peace and
harmony, which alone can bring pros
perity to all sections of our land.
The people of these Southern
States are heartily in favor of the
Union, which, we doubt not, will be
manifested by a full representation in
the approaching assemblage. Did
they need urging, we would invoke
them, by all they hold dear, to have
every Congressional District through
out the whole South represented, by
their ablest and most patriotic men;
but we believe they feel the positive
necessity for some such action, to save
and rescue the country.

The local attachments of the negro

The local attachments of the negro
are beginning to assert themselves.
The charm and novelty of freedom
and rowing life are wearing out, and
we learn that in variors portions of
the State, the negroes who fed from
their homes during the war are re-
turning to seek employment with their
old masters. If that he impracticable,
then they hang around the .sold
homestead and secure work as near to
it as possible.
The'return of negroes to the ''North
ern Neck" has been greater than that
OF any portion of the State from which
we have received information. Per-
haps the reason of this is because
that section of Virginia, lying as it
does between two great navieable
rivers, Is easier and more economical
ly reached than sections having only
railroad communications. And the
negroes particularly love the ssNorth-
ern Neck" for another reason, which
also explains their preference for the
York Peninsula-fish and oysters
abound there-the means of a liveli-
hood with but little exertion.
Ao AOSOuutS WHICH CueSC returned
freedmen bring of their experiences
with the people of the so-called
.'loyal States would not be crafty
ing to the chief editor of the New York
1tt6une. They represent that nearly
all of the negroes who went off during
the war would gladly return at once,
II they had the means and if they did
not feel ashamed to do SO after their
flight from their kind and indulgent
former owners. Il would like
nightly to go back" said one; "but
| can't look old master in the face.
When he is dead and gone, den may
be, l can co. This indicates how q
sense Of their ingrntitude and shame
ful desertion afflicts these poor
creatures. Had they more intelligence
and knowledge of the world, they
would know that cold master" blames
not SO much them as their false and
pretended friends and that his heart
is large and full of pity and forgive
ness.
Every negro who has fairly made
the experiment North, and has return
ed to the South, is intensely disgusted
with the life to which freedom in
troduced him among s'his friends.
The leaven is evidently working, and
the day is not far distant when it will
be difficult to ''fool dat nigger."

The radical managers have been in
hot haste to induce the States to
convene the Legislatures for the pur-
pose of ratifying the pending amend
ment, and the authorities of Tennes-
see have been prompt to respond.
The ratification by our Legislature,
however, is regarded as by no means
certain. AS its Objectionable features
arc scrntinized, an opposition to it is
being formed in the minds of the
candid and just men of all parties,
that may produce its defeat. We
learn that.cxpressions have been given
by members who We're presumed to
be i'll favor of it, that makes such q
result not improbable. The feeling
aroused in this State has done much
to place the minds Of men in q con
dition to lead them to commit grave
errors; but it may be discovered that
the people of Tennessee are not yet
prepared to yield to the dictation of
that class of men who have brought
themselves to believe that the recently
emancipated race is capable ct once
of assuming and performing the full
functions of white American citizens.

MIR. DAVIS IN EURopE.-Ina a recent
diplomatic correspondence between
Mr.. Adams, Minister to Europe, and
Mr.. Seward, Just published, the
former, in Il letter dated June Is,
1865, says:
The intense interest manifested in
the fate of Jefferson Davis is one of
the phenomena Of this remarkable
era, and then adds: Carefully disa-
vowlng the indulgence Of the slight
est acrimonious feeling towards Mr..
Davis or any of mis- associates, have
expressed the hope that the ends
of justice might be satisfied with the
least possible effusion of human
blood. We have had enough of
slaughter and of public and private
misery. Especially had severe re-
tribution already been visited upon
these misguided people, who had by
their wanton obstinacy brought it all
upon the country. If even Mr.. Davis
could be disgraced, and then suffered
to sink into oblivion, without seri-
ously impairing the force Of the ex-
ample i'll the view of latter genera
tons. | should be perfectly content.
If Mr.. Davis, having, under all the
safeguards OF our laws, undergone a
trial for his offence, should he proved
guilty, condemned, and sentenced to
suffer the last penalty, the response
bllity of interposition would then de-
volve upon the President l had no
doubt that he would meet it with the
dignity and impartiality that became
his Office. Neither was I disposed to
believe that whatever it might be, his
decision, if given in the manner indi-
Gated, would be attended by any of
the evil consequences to the reputa-
ton OF our country all over civilized
Europe, which seemed to be matter
OF SO much concern to our enemies
not less than our friends.
Mr.. Seward, in replying to this let
ter, says he had read with pleasure
Mr.. Adams remarks upon the ques-
ton what penalty ought to be i'm
posed upon Jefferson Davis. which
question is SO universally and SO ear
nestly discussed in Europe. He adds:
Your sentiments are deemed Just
and wise"

The European War Begun.

The foreign advices by the steam
ship Java, to the 18th inclusive, a
telegraphic summary of which we
published, yesterday, show that the
long impending war on the continent
of Europe has begun. Though no
battle has been fought, the hostile
armies confronted one another on the
plains of Saxony, and actual conflict
might be joined at any moment. The
rivalry between Prussia and Austria
for the preponderance of influence in
Germany, and their resultant quarrel
over the unfortunate Duchies, which
they mutually despoiled, has brought
@ collision, the end whereof no one
may clearly discern, but which is like
y to be of such momentous conse-
quence as to occasion changes in the
map Of Europe,
The German Diet having agreed to
the Austrian proposal, by vote of
nine States to six, for the mobiliza-
ton of the Federal army, Prussia
acted on her previous declaration,
that she would consider it an act of
hostility on the part of those sup
porting the measure, and conse-
quently moved her troops into Sax
ony and Hanover, two Of the offend
ing States, on the following day, and
General Benedek, the Austrian COM
mandant, it was believed, would i'm
mediately proceed to the attack of the
Prussians.
The protest of the Prussian Repre-
sentative in the Diet, that the action
was unconstitutional and effected a
dissolution of the Confederation, only
elected the adoption of q resolution,
at the instance of Austria, that the
federal compact was indissoluble. AL
ready in the invaded country, rail
roads had been destroyed and postal
communication cut off, and the Saxon
treasury and army stores been re-
moved to Bohemia for safety. The
Austrian troops had intercepted all
the lines of communication on their
side of the Po. 1t was supposed
Mechlenburg would support Prussia
in the defence of the Duchies. A
rumor in Paris that an engagement
had taken place near Leipsic, on the
10th, was not confirmed.
Naturally enough, Prussia had is
sued declaration to the great pow
ers justifying her cause. The fact,
however, that the majority of the
German States are against her, gives
a great advantage to Austria, and will
go far to counterbalance the italian
force which will be arrayed against
Austria, also, in the war. The King
OF Italy is already in the field, to take
the earliest advantage with his armies
against his hereditary foe. There
were great commotion and financial
depression throughout Germany, but
there appears to have been no further
effect IN those regards in England,
and consols and United States bonds
were steady.

Conflicting Interests.

1ne MempInS AC0tGache has an
able article on New England, her in
terests, and her policy. 1t remarks
that every country has within itself
conflicting interests, and very proper
~ says that true statesmanship con-
sists in harmonizing these interests
as far as 1t may be possible to do so.
In country of such an extensive
area as the United States, having
such diversity of climate, soil and
productions, this apparent inconsist-
ency will forever exist, in greater
or less degree. The Acalaache says: ::
'The cold climate and barren soil
Of New England rendered it unlikely
that her people could ever be exten-
slve agrlculturalists; but her fine har-
bors made it certain that she could
become powerful as n maritime and
naval section, and to train her sons
for the arduous and dangerous SER
vice necessary to build her up in that
respect, fishing bounties, from the
common treasury, were granted them.
AS her population increased, her
people began to turn their attention
to manufactures, as more remunera-
tive than agriculture; and the war of
1872 gave an impetus to this branch
Of industry which has since become
so fruitful of wealth to the New
England manufacturer. When the
war was over, that interest asked for
protection for the first time in the his
tory of the Government, and Mr..
Calhoun, of South Carolina, advo-
Gated 1t as a measure of justice to q
people, who, during the war, had
largely invested in manufactures,
and who would suffer on its sudden
close, if they had to contend against
European importations. He thought
this protection should have hmita-
tlon; that it should extend to but
few years, so rs to enable the facto-
ries to adopt all the modern improve
ments in machinery and place them
on a footing to stand an unprotected
competition with the world. Thus
it was that this system began, and it
was so palatable to the Yankee taste
that permanent bounty of protec-
oAOAA eSo VIZ O-A ApCAoO VI tuc SrcaC inter-
ests of the other sections of the Union
is deemed by the Yankee matter of
right. What was but temporary
indulgence, New England desires
shall be q permanent system, for a
further initiation of it's bloated pros
perity. These New Englanders know
full well that, if the South shall ever
regain her power in Congress, she
can, with the Northwest, check mate
them in all their future plans for
financial aggrandizement; and this is
the reason why the South is denied
rehabilitation into the Union
There is doubtless more truth in
this view of the present attitude of
the radical party. They dread q
union OF these natural allies in leyis-
lation, which would unquestionably
be directed against high tariffs, and
all other measures tending to enrich
New England at the expense of both
the West and the South.
