Negro Troubles in Georgia.

SAVANNAH, Dec. 80.
The Sheriff Of this county and two assist
ants, on Saturday Went to Hayward's planta-
ton, on the Ogechee river, eleven miles from
this city, to arrest II negroes charged with
shooting q Waterman on the plantation and
carrying Off the crop OF the planters. They
made five arrests at station No. l. on the At
lantic < Gulf Railroad. They were surround
cd by about 100 armed negroes who rescued
the prisoners and robbed the Sheriff, destroyed
the warrants and threatened to kill him if he
nifty.
The negroes then separated into squads and
marched back to the plantations, avowing
they would have the hearts blood of every
white man on the Ogechee river saying ''the
war has commenced!' One negro watchman is
supposed TO be murdered two white men badly
hurt and all the white men obliged to fee to
the city to save their lives.
The women and children are in the hands Of
tAS mob Apd haye Rseh e eAigt off ii. into the
munity, and a sherif's posse Of between 300
and 400 citizens will leave at daybreak tomor-
row to rescue the women and children. The
military decline to interfere till the power Of
the civil authorities for preserving order are
exhausted.
SAVANNAH, Ca, Jan. .. Affairs on the Oge-
chez are without change for the better. The
negroes are armed and in large bodies driving
of the whites and plundering their houses and
farms Of every thing valuable. No uemonstra-
ton against them has been made. The matter
is under consideration, and an anxious desire
is felt to quell the insurrection without blood
shed. Definite steps will taken, probably, to-
morrow or Monday

dispatch dated at New Orleans, on the

The editor of the Marksvlle Register, who
is also the clerk of the 18th Judicial District
Court, reports the total destruction of his pa
per by mob led on by the editor of the Marks
vile Villager, Democratic paper published
in the same place.
1t seems the people are adopting Northern
Ideas down there, and becoming in reality re-
constructed. They have so far advanced to-
ward radical notions as to destroy newspaper
establishments that don't suit their ideas, or
differ in sentiment from them. This incident
recalls very forcibly to mind the articles that
used to appear in the Prog. Age instigatng
the destruction Of this office, and threatening
that the editor should be murdered.

The ramrod> of Massachusetts, who learn
nothing by experience, are preparing to re-
enact their prohibitory laws, with new and
more odious features They disavowed any
such purpose before the election, and having
crept into power under the cover Of national
issues, are now rejoicing over the success of
the stratagem. The same is true of our own
State. 1t is pretty certain that this is to be
the principal issue in the State elections next
fall. And the people will be called upon to
declare by their ballots, whether they will have
an ignorant jackass in the shape of a State
Constable prytng open their jaws to see what
has gone down their Threats, or whether they
will, each one for himself, use the mind that
God has given him to regulate his diet. We
think the people are ready for this question.
