CHINESE IMM1aRAT1oA,-The Savannah
Repu blican has been informed that some if-
teen hundred Cinnamon have been ordered
through the agency there, chiefly by citizens
and planters along the coast. The greater
portion of them are designed for the rice and
cotton fields, though quite number have
been ordered by citizens for cooks. house SER
wants, washers, &c. They are expected in
January, and the Savannah people appear
to be confident Of the success Of the expert
mcnt The republican adds;
.'If the present inattention and unreliable
itY of the black servants should continue, in
few years the Chinese, should they prove
otherwise, will occupy most of the posts Of
labor on the coast. Being accustomed to
the negroes, we prefer them TO all other per-
sons as domestics and laborers, and consid
cring them in the light Of trust from PROV
idence on our hands, we should regret TO
see them abandoned But they must do
their duty and become good and industrious
members of the community, or else their
doom will be fixed They have this matter
pretty much in their own hands, and we
hope they will deeideit wisely" /. =

FRANKLY sAD.-The Editor of the Alex

self, which we commend to all who like
candid expressions of sentiment:
at is stated in some of the papers, to
give weight to the expressed opinions Of Mr.,
Robt Ridgway and Mr.. Franklin Stearns,
of this State, in relation to the injurious ef-
feet that would be produced by the enforce
ment of the test oath upon the members Of
the Legislature, mot only to the Republi-
can party but to our material interests, y
that sthey have no sympathy with the De-
mocracy" Now as to what effect may be
produced upon the Republican party we do
not know-but that it would be a most un-
wise, unjust, and impolitic measure, we
firmly believe, and have so said from the mo-
ment it was sprung upon our people. But
we take occasion to say (Which will give no
weight to our opinion with the Radical
party. that all the political sympathy ve
have outside of our own State, is with the
Democrats and Conservatives ; and that our
sympathy in that behalf is excited by the
fact, that up to his time the Democrats and
Conservatives generally have supported and
maintained the rights ofall the States, favored
justice to the Southern States, and opposed
the plans, purposes and designs Of the ultra
Radicals further to Cypress and injure u.s.

Mrs. Harriet Beecber Stowe is exciting
newspaperdom with her late pTofeased deyel-
opments in the history of Lord Byron. We
can't understand how so much of import is
given to the statement of Mrs. Stowe. Some
go SO far as to attack her statement as If it
was indeed IS verify We remember a
so-called "true story" which emanated from
her pen, long since, and was styled ''Incle
TOMS Cabin" in which she proeessed to
give truthful picture Of Southern Slavery.
1t was based on falsehood, as was known to
every Southern reader, but it had the inten
ded effect in the North and gave her great
notoriety- Itching for more notoriety, she
has put forth her story concerning Byron.
Remembering the baseless fabric she reared,
which we have mentioned above, we can give
no credit to anything she has written con-
corning Byron. Without entering into the
defense Of the character of the much abused
dead Poet as assailed by Mrs Stowe we pre.
ter to see her story receive not the slightest
degree of credulity as bnt the just award to
her attempt to make capital over the bones
of buried genius ~ =

PERSECUTION OF UNION MEN IN Tex
Asa correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Sulphur
Springs, Texas, says most terrible state
of things exists in the northern and east
ern portions of Texas. Thieves, cut
Threats and assassins infest the country,
and murders, robberies and outrages are
of daily occurrence. There is no safety
for northern man in the expression or
opinion, or for life or property. The
Texans claim that they have never been
subjugated. The old secession party has
been revived and arrogates to itself the
right to control. Ry the cold-blooded
and heartless murder of freedmen they
have overawed and crowed the loyal ne
groes, and by the reign of terror they
have established they have inundated
a large majority of the loyal whites.
The civil authority is powerless and the
military insufficient in number.
