SENSIBLE AD7ICE.-The Greensboro
(Ala.) Beacon gives the following very
sensible advice to the land Owners of
that section. The advice is equally ap-
plicable to this latitude, and We trust it
will not be totally lost on those to whom
1t is addressed. The Beacon says:
Land owners, who wish to devolve
upon others the trouble, ANNOYANCE and
uncertainty of tilling the soil with the
labor of the freedmen, should also be
moderate in fixing their rents. The
prospects for the agriculturist, as we'll as
for the merchant, and we may add, all
other avocations of business, are decided
y bad throughout the South. Men who,
in the face of such discouraging indiea-
tions, agree to pay rents, are very likely
to And themselves, at the end of 1857,
unable to comply with their promises.
Moderate rents, and a reasonable certain
ty yot prompt payments, are greatly pre-
fegable to high figures and uncertain pay
ments.

Gsttsr rum Gen. Longstreet On the Present
Condition Of Political Affairs.


4 NEw ORLEANS, La, March 18, 1867.
To THE EDITOR OF THE New ORLEANS
TINES. .....-
DEAR SIR: In your paper of yester-
day yeu have expressed desire to hear
the views of several gentlemen upon the
political condition of the country.
find my name mentioned upon your list,
and proceed without hesitation to re-
Spond. --.-7.-.
As I have never applied myself to poll,
tics, / cannot claim to speak to the wise
statesmen Of the country, who are devo-
ting their energies to the solution of the
problem which agitates the public mind.
can only speak the plain, honest convic-
tions Of a soldier.
It can hardly be necessary, at this late
day, to enter into a discussion of the
matter that is usually brought up in ar
guing upon the proposed plan for recon
strueting the Government. Indeed,
think that many of them are not peril
nent to the question, -
The striking feature, and the one that
our people should keep in view, is that
we are conquered people. Recogui-
zing this fact fairly and squarely, there
is bat one course left for wise men to
pursue. Accept the terms that are of
fered Us by the conauerorS!- There can
be no discredit to conquered people for
accepting the conditions offered by their
coRquerors. Nor IS there any occasion
for feeling Of humiliation. We have
made an honest, and l hope that might
say, creditable fight, but we have lost.
Let us, come forward, then, and accept
the ends involved in the struggle.
Our people earnestly desire that the
constitutional Government shall be re.
established, and the only means to ac-
complish this is to comply with the re-
qHirsments of the recent Congressional
legislation. - H.. .- -,-.s
It is said by some that Congress will
not receive Us, even after we have com
piled with their conditions. But / can
ind no sufficient reason for entertaining
this proposition.for a moment. 7 cannot
admit that the representative men Of a
great nation could make such q pledge
in bad faith. Admitting, however, that
there is suchsa mental reservation, can
that be any excuse for US in failing to
discharge our duty? Let usraccept, the
terms as we are in duty bound to do,
and if there is lack ofgood faith, let it
be upon others, ....-..- =.
am, very respectfully, your most obc-
dient servant, 49,

SuspExDlNG ELEcTIoNs.-The Rich

The MEET1NG.-The temperance meet
ing on Friday night last, at the Court
House, was the largest and most respec-
table we have had the pleasure of seeing
since old Lang Syne. At an early hour,
the brilliantly lighted and tastefully dec
Grated hall was filed to overfowing with
ladies and gentlemen. Being called to Or
der by President II. H. Kinard, the meet
ing was opened with prayer, by the Rev.
W. S. Black, after which the orator for the
occasion, Rev. J. P. Smeltzer, delivered
an eloquent and pointed address. Other
addresses and appeals were made, when
the books were opened, and a call for
signatures. A little backwardness and
timidity seemed manifest on the part of
the young mcr, upon which the ladies
were invited to come up and set an ex-
ample. An immediate and hearty re-
sponse was the effect, when a pleasing
alacrity took the place of former tiu1idity
among ''sinewy forms," and the pledge
to abstain from the "cup which inc
briates" was taken by large number.
The example here set by the ladies de-
serves particular commendation. What
would we do without woman, the first
in love, the first in peace, the first to en-
courage and the last to desert a good
cause. This society, organized but ten
days since by FIVE or six men, who See
ing the folly of their course, determined
to indulge no more in liquid olsons, but
to make water, "sparkling and bright"
their future beverage, now numbers one
hundred and seven members. Out of
weakness cometh strength, for there is
strength in numbers. We wish the So
ciety God speed.
On Friday night at the same place and
hour, another meeting will be held, and
addresses delivered By the Re7s. Black
and Huff The public are invited to at
tend. We would suggest, to give ad-
ditional interest to the occasion, that an
ode be sang, Immediately after the open
ing prayer, either "Sparkling and Bright"
"Come sign the VOW" or any other which
may be thought appropriate.

"SMALLToRK." We don't like long
takers. never did and never will, unless
they have something to talk about even
then don't take kindly 10 them don't
like them in our Office when there is
work to be done, nor care to meet them
on the street when we are after delin-
quent sub. or slow-paying ad., or when
going to dinner; in fact at no time. They
are bores of the worst species, and give
US the fdgets we'd as soon have the
itch, or tic doloreux; as soon listen to a
forty air, out of tune hand organ, or the
midnight caterwaulings of cross-grained
cats. When two of this character meet
it is so excruciating that our legs run
away With US. The consequences to the
parties themselves sometimes result hap
PLY, as for example correspondent Of
the Reformed Presbyterian says:
"We heard story lately, of two men
in Georgia, talking each other to death.
These men entered Judge DIS Office, and,
to get rid of them, he left the Office for a
time, promising to return. Bot he did
not return until morning, and then found
one of his loquacious friends on the floor
with his tongue hanging out, saying,
take him of-take him off, while, the
other was down on his knees still able to
whisper in the dying mans car.
"This story must be somewhat colored.
It may be founded on fact for such talk
ative men may be found beyond the
Georgia Territory. Such men may be
men of sense, but they talk a little too
much. 1t is the 'babbler' who rants and
talks without rhyuesa and reason, that is
the fool. Solomon asks who hath bab-
bhngs?' and the answer is, they that
,tarry long at the wine, they that go to
seek mixed wine ~.,. +
1t Mas remarked by some one, after
hearing the address in the Court House,
on last Friday night, in the course Of
which very interesting little story Of a
little dog, whose tail took it into its head,
or rather tail, to curl, "that a temperance
address would be incomplete without a
dog story, that he had never heard one
without" Be it so or not. Here's a
story told at an anti-temperance meeting,
and as it hangs upon a little dog, we
give it a place, with credit to the Pres
byterian also:
"a friend of ours was once on q jour
ney, perhaps missionary tour, and
stopping for the night was ushered into
the bar-room, which was we'll supplied
with men in a mellow mood. Such men
grow religious when in their cups. One
of them propounded the question, "What
was the color of the dog that licked the
sores on I.azarns?" 1t would have puz-
zled D. D., to have answered this in

LOOK oUT-Our readers are familiar
with the old story told of the Captain of
a Canal boat, who when passing under
lock or bridge would cry 'look out" a
precaution to the passenger lest his head
should suffer a collision. His object
was to have them look in and not out.
Just so must the order of our friends
Mayes & Martin be construed. Their
cry to the public is to look out, while
their desire is for them to look in. They
are in want Of q number of colts ), for
what purpose we cannot imagine, but we
believe from the high character these
gentlemen sustain that they have no evil
design in view. Had they said 40 grey
horses all in row" one might believe
they wanted to 'land on the other side OF
Jordan" to "git up and git" from the
"destruction bill" and its consequences.
Perhaps they want to start a circus, or
present, that number of colts to Mike
L,pman. who only had nine all told, and
one gentleman cow. Whatever the OBJ
iect we beg our farmer friends to first
look out over their stock for what can be
spared, ,3and then look in on NJ & N.
Parties in need of Bacon or Cora will sim
ply look in, as there is no use in looking
oueany where else in hope Of being bet
ter suited, when Mayes & Martin are in
the field. ,>.
