Various Iumors having obtained currency In
regard to the shameful management OF canal Affairs
az Rome during the late suspension OF navigation,
we have taken pains to ascertain the facts IN the
case. We IND them To be briefly an follOws:-
A large number OF boats were detained az
that point on account Of the break, and a
crowd OF boatmen were thus congregated in
town. Among them were few INSCRIPTIONS
characters who resolved TO make the delay, which
was source OF great annoyance and loss to their
companions, source OF prodt to themselves. To
effect their purpose, ring said TO have been con-
troled by a well known rough named Murphy, was
organized and set TO work.
Their plan OF procedure was 10 locate themselves
at a convenient point and blackmail captains OF
boats destined for places thus side Of the break and
who had consequently been granted permis-
sion TO pass on their way. II tho toll
demanded by these pirates was refused
ana the "a plains OF whom the demands were made
asserted their rights and attempted to pass with
their boats the bandlt did not hesitate n resort TO
force. kor instance, one captain who thus refused
10 be rsbbed was Knocked down and beaten until
sensel-ss, and another was for the reason rst
beaten and then thrown from his boat into the canal
Aside from these bold-faced operations, IL Ia
charged that the ring also interfered with the final
clearaIos OF other boats delayed, rushing through,
wthou regard 10 law order, those whose owners
We're wiling TO pay for the operation anu detanIDg
ihose justly entitled 10 precedence.

voice is potential, that Congress shall re-
ouiro the Military Commander 70 re,
organize the Legislature of Georgia ex-
GLIDING all who held office prior to the
war and aided the rebcllion3 and includ-
ing the negroes in the organizations -
This would invalidate everything done
BY our recent Legislature; but this we
could bear without much damage if the
reorganization did not propose to place
us completely at the mercy Of the most
ignorant of our people. Nothing more
wicked can be conceived than the prop
osition of Mr. Greeley Its adoption
Involves a social aud political revolution
Of which history furnishes no example
unless it is found in St. Domingo. And
yet, it IS said, nothing short of this will
satisfy the radicals. They bolicye they
are detcsted by all that is good in the
South and will not cndangor their hold
Of power while they have the ability to
avoid it. We trust that Congress will
take more generous and enlightened
view Of the "situation."

Is it tue that Nature delights in con-
trast? In deformity and beautyf In
Evil and Good? Is deformity and evil
necessary TO the production of the beau
tiful and the good? Such seems to DO
the logic of the following paragraph;
"On the grounds upon which the bat
lie of Bull Run was fought saw pretty,
pure, delicate flowers growing up out Of
the ammunition boxes, and wild rose
thrasting up lis graceful head through
the top of broken drum, which doubt
less sounded its last charge in that bat
tie and scarlet verbena pccping out
of burstcd shell, in which strange spot
it was planted Wasn't that peace
growing out of the horrid and terrible
things that transpire in this changing
but ever advancing world. Nature
csyers even the battle-ground with yer
duresand bloom. Peace and plenty
spring up in the track Of the devopring
campaign: and all things in nature and
society shall werk out the progress of
mankind"
We don't believe that the "ammuni-
tiea boxes---the shell or the drum" wore
necessary to the production of tho rose
or rerbcna and while we recognize the
fact SHAT the beautiful and graceful Of
ten grow out cf horrid and terrible
things, and that peace and plenty often
follow the track Of war" we would rath-
er deny that such evils are necessary, in
the economy of Nature, TO such results
As TO the floral kingdom there is no sort
Of difficulty in producing the finest pro-
dnctions in the most peaceful, quiet, and
Irrational manner and it may be we would
appreciate them just as highly without
the hidcous contrast. Why may we not
equally as well, in the moral world, ap,
prcciate the beauty and blessing o.
''peacc and plenty" of virtue and pro.
gress, without the precedence of horrit
war' Can We only be taught their
valuo by war? Is it indispensable tt
human progress2 If it is, man may
arell bcwail his fate, and the blood hound
of aboiitionism, and all others who seel
coed through evil mediums, may taxi
comfort; if it is not, surely man vii
find the mode Of avoiding such dread
ful calamitics.
There is an awakening hope in til,
human mind that when nations are link
cd together by telegraph, and NOR
rapid n.ercommnnication by steam, tina
ignorance will be dispelled--that pro
vincislism in 50 far as it is tue source o
irrational prejudice will cease to inAa

tives and higher purposes viii animat
all leading minds in the advancement O

Ey"IT is said that preparations are
being made in Texas for tho largest
Cotton Crop ever raised in that State
and similar tendency is manifest all
over the South. When will our plan
tiers learn wisdom Is it not manifest
that an increase of the crop will not in
crease their gains or the wealth of the
South
If they would move in concert SO as
to limit the supply and at the same time
produce in abundance cereals and stock
our agricultural productions would en-
rich the farmer and the South. In
stead OF exercising common sense, how
ever, just let Cotton go up to twenty five
cents and every other production isneg-
lccted and every ono rushes to the Cot
ton field to bring the price down to ten
cents or less and then exchange their
measre earnings with the West for mules,
bread and meat, Southern planters are
not, in all things, wise.

ARKANSAS. We know little of the
alledged causes which prompted the
acting Governor Of Arkansas to ergar-
izs tho militia, (mostly ncsrOes) of that
State; we only know that tho militia
have inaugurated a most horrible condi
ton of affairs and mado that State less
tolersble to all good people than even
immediate proximity with the tribe Of
Comanche Indians. Tho Militia accord
ing to tho defensive report of General
Porter of Gen. Grants staff, were Au-
thorized by the Governor Ito sttbsist
upon the country" and the result has
been that robbery, spoliation, murder
and every hideous crime has boen com
mitted by them. Whole towns have
been despoiled-murmsring has con-
signed the parties to drum-hoad court
martial and death men flee from their
homes and women and children loft to
the cruel torture Of these fends. Those
horrors arc, probably, not exaggerated,
and they do not look promising of that

out of the two columns advertised in the

They so into the Courts, and i. may be
u very good thing for the lawyers, but
it plays the "dcuce" with Shcrihs and
poor printers. We are glad to see that
enc of our Deputy Shcriffs has publish

must be prepaid, and we hope the bal
