SOUTHERN MILITIA TO De DIsBANDED.-The
militia organizations of the Southern States
are to be disbanded by the first OF Congress
Wilson has .rsistently hammered at the sub
icct in the Senate until he has finally sue
ccedcd. He charges that this militia wear
Confederate uniforms, carry "rebel' flags,
and patrol the country disarlning Union men.
He processes to have the best authority Tor
these statements; but after making the as
sertion which he did a few nights ago, that
eighteen unpunishcd murders of freedmen
had occurred in Maryland, during last year
(which Hon. Revcrdy johnson promptly con-
tradicted) his declarations in the present IN
stance must be received cum gruno sails.
However, as regards the Southern militia, he
has effected his purpose, and clause was on
Tuesday pit in the Army Appropriation Bill,
by the Senate, ordering tho immediate dis
bandment of ell the militia organizations in
the States of the South, and prohibiting their
reorganization at any time without the con.
sent Of Congress. That the Houie will con.
cur in this there is not the least possible
doubt.

The RELIEF FOR SOUTHERN Planters
The project which We mentioned some days
since for obtaining loans in this city on the
acceptances of Messrs. Graeser, Lee, Smith
& Co., cotton factors, of Charleston, secured
by first liens on the crops Of planters to whom
advances should be made, under the laws Of
South Carolina, we learn, is being entertained
to such extent by some of our capitalists and
business men as will probably ensure encour
aging success. somssubscriptions have been
made in influential quarters, and the measure
will be further prosecuted among the business
community. The money is desired chiefly
for supplying provisions for the laborers on
the cotton plantations, without which the
crops for the present year must be meagre in
the extensive Sumter District, where the
blacks ore now found abundantly willing to
work. Baltimore, by reason of her steam
ship lines, can be Iadc the market or final
shipping point for the cotton Of that region,
and all such measures as this must tend to
secure the trade and make this the point
of supply for the planters now and hereafter.

Go Thou and Do Likewise.

WHAT INDUSTRY WILL Do.-Under this head
the Waco (Tcxasl Register has the following:
Last year young man living near this place,
Albert Sears, rented piece of good land, hired
one good old freedman, and with his own hands
went to work to cultivate the soil. He worked
maufully and well. And now for the fruits of
his industry: he has gathered twenty-four bales
of cotton, two thousand bushels of corn, and
made four hundred gallons of molasses from sor-
gum. HI has also some pork to spare. He has
sold sixteen hundred bushels of corn, for $1,000.
in gold, obtained three hundred dollars for his
molasses, and his cotton is good for $1,000 more
making in all $4,000. He was ut some triang
e1fense during cotton picking time.
And the instance contained in the above para
graph is not tho only one of the kind we have
read lately. Suppose that every young man in
this State, or my other State, who is without
capital and without employment should pursue
the same course. What change would speedily
be wrought in Tho financial condition Of the poo-
pie of the South. Nothing in tho world is SO cal
culatcd to elevate the tone Of young men than
money in their pockets earned by their own hon.
est toll A man becomes his own master, and the
master of his own destiny, when he once learns to
ability as his main capital for this life. Money
in young mans pocket which he has not earned
and would not know how to replace were he to
lose it, is very questionable endowment.
We call then upon all tho young mon of our
State who arc not making their own living to
resolve to do so at once. And we call upon them
to rely upon the productions of the soil, and upon
their own labor in raising those productions, more
than upon anything else. Letlaw, and medicine,
and merchandise, and clerking, and all such
things, alone. These walks of life ere already
thoroughly overcrowded. Keep away from towns
and cities. When young men apply for employ
ment in towns and cities, nine times out of ten
they fail, have the cold shoulder given them by
busy and hurried men, get their feelings mortified,
lose their sense of independence, waste their
noney ut hotels, and depart TO still follow, in
other places, the ignis .fatuus of "getting into
business"
Quit all this, and call upon mother earth for
employment She will not :urn you away. She
will welcome you to her thousands of broad and
fertile acres, AID will reward you in precise pro-
portion to the industry, skill energy the p0rsc-
vcrenco you invest. She will watch you with
grim patience during the winter, she will give
you sweet smile Il the spring, she will laugh
with you in the summer, and sho will open he
bountiful hands to you in the autumn. There i:
no danger of failing of certain and rcmunerativt
employment in this direction. Ability and viii
linsncss to work are the only qualifications need
ed In this way the whole country will become
prosperous, and every individual man will become
Independent. Unemployed young men, think OF
these things.

Another One Who spits Upon Dignity


Ex-Governor JOSEPH E. BRowy of Georgia.
This prominent and influential citizen of our sis
ter State has recently returned from Washington,
whore he hugger-muggered in sc-t of miscella-
neous manner with politicians of all crccds and
colors; and has addressed to certain citizens of
Atlanta very long and very elaborate letter upon
the present political status of the country. The
sum and substance of this long letter is advice to
the people of Georgia to hastento become partic-
ipators in the degradation and humiliation which
is sought to be eimposcd upon them by tho Radical
Legislation of the present Congress. 1t has crc-
ated wide sensation, and received from many
leading papers of Georgia very decided condem-
ration. Governor BRowx may rely upon it that
no matter how his letter be received at the
North, his manhood and his motives will be uni
versally suspected throughout the South.

ssona OF the DIGNITY sort.u

Gov. Onn's a.soveration in his late speech be-
fore the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, that
" he was not one of the dignity sort" has already
become pat and sterootyped phrase. An article
elsewhere. in to-day's paper, from the Memphis
Bulletin speaking of how little tho said speech has
helped, or will help, Gov. ORR either in tho South
or North, alludes to the declaration made very
lately in Congress, by the Now England Radical,
Boutwell,, that "wc ought to remove from the bu-
siness Of reconst ,ting South Carolina, the ORRs,
the PIcKESsEs, the MAeRA1Hs, and all those men
who participated in the rebellion"
Now let no one tumble up the matter, md get
into his head that distinguished fellow citizen,
E1-Gov. PIcKENs, is also "not one of the dignity
sort" On the contrary, Ex-Gov. P. is, as he hns
always been, emphatically Zone of the dignity
sort" He believes in no State or District meet
ings, or Conventions Of the People, or Extra Ses-
sions of tho Legislature, for the purpose of help
ing on the Ralicals in the work of reconstruction.
He thinks it we'll to submit patiently to the yoke,
since We are pOwerless to rcsis: it; but he does
not think it well "to court the yoke and assist
the despot to put it upon our necks."
