HoN. JOIN c BREcKISRIDGE-The Atlanta Era, says: This distinguished general and renowned statesman has ad- vised his friends to accept in good faith the Sherman reconstruction bill, as the surest and only mode of restoring the country to peace and quiet. Gen, Breck- inridge ranks among the greatest of living statesmen, and the south will not fail to heed his voice on the most important question of the day Let the column move forward till all complications are overcome and forever put to rest The prospect for the future is now more hope ful than it has been at any time within the last two years, and it is earne- tly hoped that nothing will occur to prevent the consummation of an early and complete settlement of national difficulties"

hy~ The Avalanche says the South pi;,s.vs for two things: First, for non intervention in her domestic matters second, for ia,,,or. The military des- potism now ruling Ter people by the bayonet, instead of by t,s,e law, pre- cludes all hope of our having inc first prayer granted, and the course of tha ass same military arm begins to cause more serious apprehensions still, touch ing the second. It seems, from an AL abama exchange, that negro recruiting oiiieers arc going through the country and enlisting negro men for the United States army, who have made contracts with planters for this year, and upon whose labor and continued services these planters depend for their crops. Surely, in all our cities, can be found negro men enough for war purposes, who, if not inclined to go to work, may possibly follow the fife and drum. Thousands of them are but consumers, while we need producers, in every county of every Southern State. We trust that steps will be taken to bring this outrage promptly before the prop CT department of the Government for. in the present starving condition of many portions of our land, we cannot afford to lose even one laborer from our fields. The cities can spare enough idlers. The country can spare no laborers.

JUDGE BYERs.-This gentleman came here stranger, as Superintendent of the Western Snpcrintendency We found him a gentleman, wholly devot- ed to the duties of his office, and in all of his intercourse with the Indians. and those having business in that depart ment, he has given entire satisfaction, and has gained name as an upright and honest officer of the government, and gentleman. It appears that he was not confirmed by the Senate, but this should not surprise any one, as Judge E. is not Radical. Besides he is an old Arkansian, and n good Union man. We regret that Judge Byers could not have been permitted to re- main, but as he is to leave he will take with him when he retires, the good wishes and respect of all those who have made his acquaintance during his sojourn here.

TROUBLE IN THE RUTLAND QUARTERS.
 The Rutland (vt.) Herald reports a serious difficulty in the quarries. It says that number of workmen, who have been in the habit of having their own way heretofore, recently struck, in consequence of the discharge of favorite overseer. The company has in consequence discharged.the stri- kers, and is taking measures to eject them from their shanties. The hands threaten to resist, and riot has been feared. The bill to prevent unlawful of workmen, just passed the legislature, had reference to this case.

An Imnortant Order.

We have just received, says the Lit tle Rock Gazette, through the courtesy of sub-district Headquarters, the sub joined general order No. 5. It speaks for itself; document plain and to the point, dictated by sterling common seflse and thorough appreciation of our precarious condition, twill be read with pleasure by all who anxiously de- sire the public veal. It would be well that all those who have freedmen em- ployed would make it special duty to read them all orders that emanate from headquarters and the contents of the following, should, for obvious reasons, be made known to them:
 HEADQUARTERS 4TH MILITARY DIs'T,) MIssIssIPPI AND ARKANSAS, } |. VIcKsBURG, Miss, April Is, lS67.> Gen. Orders No. ,. l. No elections will hereafter be held in Mississippi or Arkansas tostii vacan- cies existing or occurring in offices of the provisional governments of those States, until a registration of voters is made. Officers of the provisional state governments who may have been by statute law competent to make appoint ments to fill vacancies occurring before the passage of the reconstruction act, passed March 2, 1867. where vacancy may exist or occur which it is import ant to have filled, are requested to mo- tify the General commanding, and he who is responsible that the require- ments of that law be complied with, will make the necessary appointment to fill the vacancy, until an election for that purpose can be held according to law. M s ta
 II. Local civil officers of existing provisional governments of the States of Arkansas and Mississippi, will con tinue in the performance of their duties until the expiration of this term oftheir offices, unless otherwise directed in special cases, or until their successors may be appointed or elected in accord ance with the act of Congress to pro- vide for the more efficient government of these rebel States, passed March ,, 1867.
 III. The most important duty devolv- ing upon freedmen in their new condi- ton, is that of providing. by their own labor, for themselves and families they now have common interest in the gen eral prosperity. This prosperity does not depend so much on how men vote, as upon how well each member of so- ,iety labors and keeps his contracts.- Freedmen are therefore urged not to neglect their business to engage in po- litical discussions, but continue to comply with itheir contracts, and pro- vide for themselves and families; for unless they do so, famine may come, and they will have no food. When the time comes for trem to have their names entered in the books of voters which will be before September next, the General commanding will send them word through proper United States or County officers. and send the books to places near by their homes so that every voter can have his name reg istered, and can afterwards vote with out going far from his home. Only those residing ill town will be regis tered or vote there.

 Eus~The Pittsburg Commercial says that full meeting of the mill owners of Pittsburg and vicinity was held on Tuesday when it was determined not to resume operations until the workmen will accept such prices as will warrant them in doing so. The question is not whether the price shall be seven or nine dollars, but who, in the present condition of trade, will be able to maintain work at any price. If the mill owners could have their own way they would not feel iustiiiedin resum- ing permanently at anything like they would have done a few weeks ago. A few weeks running at half their capac- ity would enable the mills to supply the market for months, and another stoppage would be the consequence. Full resumption, at any price, is out of the question:.
