New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1872-11-28

Not only are colored men in Georgia pack
ing up to leave that treason-ridden State, but
the poor, down-trodden loyal whites are be-
coming convinced that there is no hope for
better future for them under the rebel gov
eminent of the Empire State OF the South,
and arc consequently seeking homes in the
West and Southwest.
The colored people are active, and agents
for them will be sent into the West to select
homesteads, and to make necessary prepara-
tons for a large exodus of the bone and snew
of the State whose cruelties and expressions,
have made it necessary for the seeking OF
refuge elsewhere. Emigration can only re-
suit in benefit to the colored people. In
the Territories they will be free, and the
time now in part spent in attempting to elude
the vengeance of Ku-klux Klans of chival-
rous Georgians, can be wholly devoted to the
lettering of their condition, without fear OF
molestation. The land settled upon by the
emigrant will be his own, the profits accruing
from energetic labor will fill his Golfers, his
children can be educated in peace, and he
loses nothing Of his American citizenship by
| the removal to the plains.
BY emigration the colored man has every
| thing to gain and nothing to lose. The
losers will be those who deserve whatever
| deprivatons may follow the flight of the la
boring portion of the State. We are more
than gratified to see the determination OF
| colored people to settle upon the public lands,
and to build themselves up in wealth and in
| telligence. Let them see to it that the school
house be a prominent and well patronized in
sttution in their midst let them understand
| that it will be more profitable in the end to
educate their children than will be the little
work they can perform during the interval
| between the ages Of five and twelve.
We know that Hon. JEFF. Long, who seems
to be the prime mover in the emigration
| scheme in the State of Georgia, is an earnest
| and cnterprising man, and we congratulate
| him upon the success he has already attained
in awakening feeling Of enterprise among
the colored people of Georgia. We hope
within the space of year to chronicle the
success of a very large settlement of co,ored
people upon the plains.
The following, from the Macon Union, is
one of many incentives for the laborers of the
banner rebel State of Georgia to look for
homes elsewhere:
| A most diabolical murder was committed
in Jasper county last week by one William
| Baxter, cOlored man named Moses Hutch
ms being the victim.
Moses Hutichns and his wife were hired to
work for Baxter. The wife of Hutchins was
carrying dinner to the hands in the cotton
| field, and when some distance from the house
was met and assaulted by Baxter who had
an AK. He used the handle of the AK, and
was beating her with it. Her cries attracted
her husband from the field where he was al
work. When he came upon the scene, in.
stead of cleaving the assailant of his wife tC
the ground, he begged, with all the humility
of slave, for his wife. This only eXasper.
ated the cowardly woman beaten, and he
went to the house, got his gun and returned
and deliberately shot Hutchins through the
heart.
The county authorities arrested Baxter
and a justice of the peace heard the case anC
discharged him.
This is fair example of the protection
citizens of Georgia are afforded under the
laws of the State, and it being case out O
the reach of United States laws, there is nc
redress, or punishment of white savage fol-
the killing of a negro.
Since writing the above we learn that q
negro was taken from his house, on the line
Of Washington and Warren counties, last
week and killed by Ku-kluX.
