While great deficiency of labor is COM
planned of by middle and southwestern
Georgia planters, many are of opinion that


agricultural labor will prove more effective
this year than last. 1t is stated that gem
eral desire has been manifested by the
freedmen to get back to the old plantation,


and resume, as nearly as possible, the
ancient statUs-and this has been carried
out In numerous INSTANCES. IL is believed
the freedman will probably work better
under the eye of his old master, and in


memory of whaGused to be a days work,
than he did last year among stranges. We
think it probable that some planters have
made a mistake in excluding women, to
too great AN extent, from their hired force.
The company of the "gentler SEX is as es-
sential to Sambo as. to his employer; and
though it may be sound economy to feed
none but the most effective hands, yet
sound economy may be lost sight of by a
too rigid adherence to this practice, il it
results in discomfort and straggling.-&

That some men cannot endure success
is truth forcibly illustrated IN the career
of johnson as President Never since


he corner stone of our Republic was laid
has an occupant of the presidential chair
made such an egrcgious ass of himself as
the present incumbent. Swinging round
the circle was but one of the many fool
ish things ne has done, though that was
sufficiently infamous to condemnn man
for all time. But johnson learns moth
ing. The kicks and cuffs which other
men receive for their folly, sharpens their
wits and teaches them to act with dignity
and grace becoming the position which
they perchance may fill, but not so with
a. J., the more the people kick him for
his stubbornness, the more stubborn he
is-just like mule. In fact johnson
has all the bad qualities of mule, with
none of the redeeming features which
make that animal the useful servant of
mankind. (That last sentence is put in
because we do not wish to cast inf;.my on
anything that worked faithfully to sup
press the rebellion, by odious compari-
sons.


The latest cause of self gluiiiication to
the subject OF these remarks is found in
the action of Gen. Hancock at New Or
leans Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and
hosts of other prominent Generals do
not coincide with the President iii his
views on Reconstruction, but Hancock
does. or seems to, and Immediately the
president points him out as one Of the
greatest living men, comparing him to
Washington, and impudently asks Con
gress to give him vote of thanks.
Thanks for what? for embracing rebels,
and all others who seek to destroy the
government of our fathers? This is it,
nething more nothing less. Andrew
johnson IS worse rebel, worse traitor
than jeff Davis and would destroy the
government if it was in his power to do
so. He has heretofore supposed it was
aad even yet threatens under certain con-
tilgencies to resort to force, if necessary
to resist the w4ii Of the people, which is
equivalent to saying that he can and will
destroy the geeernmert if he is not per-
mitted to have his own way La past
ages men issre lest their heads for saying
not one half as much as that, but we would
not wish to see harm come to the prcsl-
dent in an unlawful manner, for we be-
lieve him powerless to do what he desires
to do, but that old expression which some
one made concerning their joy if the
Lord would remove him to Heaven,
seems to us exceedingly appropriate %
the present time However the only
thing to be done now is to wait and hope
for the best. Let the president do his
worst, his time is nearly out and Grant
the iavincible- roon take his place
and restore order out of confusion.

In session, and why not then have asked
for his removal, If it was decided? 1t
certainly was the intention of the legisla-
tive branch of the government to place a
Cabinet Minister beyond the power of
Executive removal, and it is pretty we'll
understood that SO far as Cabinet Minis
ters are effected by the Tenure of Office
bill it was intended especially to protect
the Secretary of War, whom the country
felt great confidence in, The meaning of
the law may be explained away by an as
tute lawyer, but common sense and the
views OF loyal people will give to it the
effect intended by its trainers.


Second. On the subject of the removal
of the very able commander of the Fifth
Military District. Let me ask you to
consider the effect it would have upon
the public He is universally and de-
scrvedly beloved by the people who sus-
tanned this government throughout its
trials, and feared by those who would be
enemies Of the governments. 1t fell to
the lot OF but few men to do as much
against any enemy as General Sheridan
did during the rebellion, and it is within
the scope of the ability Of but few, in this
or:.any other country, to do what he has.

satisfaction. He has had difficulties to
contend with which no other District
Commander has encountered. Almost if
not quite from the day he was appointed
District Commander to the present time,
the press has given out that he was to he
removed, that the administration was
dissatisfied with him. This has embold-
ened the opponents of the laws of Con-
gress within his command to oppose him
in every way in their power, and has rem
dered necessary measures which other
wise might never have been necessary.


In conclusion. allow me to say, as
friend desiri 1g peace and quiet, and the
welfare of the whole country North and
South, that it is my opinion that the loyal
people OF this country-I mean those
who supported the government during
the great rebellion not quietly sub
init to see the very man of all others
whom they have expressed their conf-
dcnce in, removed

One great error that We commit is that
we drink too much az our meals. Before
we have sufficiently masticated and insal-
ivated our food TO enable US to swallow it,
We force il down by taking water or warm
drinks. This not only dilutes the saliva,
but weakens the gastric juice after the
food gets into the stomach. Many persons
take a swallow Of fluid with almost every
mouthful of food. Look along the dinner
table in any of our hotels aud fashionable
private dining rooms and you will be sur
prised at the quantities which are drank
at the meal; and If your mind be not taken
up with observing the others, you may
discover the same evil in yourself, and thus
be led to correct il. This habit, sooner
or later, ends IN producing dyspepsia aud
constipation, than which there arc no af
fections more destructive Of health aud
comfort. When We are thirsty at our
meals or at other times, We should drink
to allay such thirst only. All solid food
should be thoroughly ground aud mixed
saliva in the mouth unaided and undiluted
by water or other drinks. Rely upon it
this apparent necessity Of drinking Is q
mere habit, which VIC can correct at will
and all who prize health at its true value
will not consider It's preservation or pur
chase TOO high at the cost Of attending te
so simple matter.

Daniel Webster had an anecdote of
old Father Scarf, the minister of his
boyhood, which is too good to be lost.
1t was customary then to wear buck
skin breeches in cool weather. One
Sunday morning in autumn, Father
Searl brought his breeches down from
the garret but the wasps had taken
possession during the summer, and
were having nice time of it in them.
By dint of effort he got out the intru-
ders and dressed for meeting. But
while reading the scriptures to the
congregation he felt a dagger from ono
of the enraged, small wasted fellows,
and jumped around the pulpet slap
ping his thighs. But the more he
slapped and danced the moro they
stung. The people thought he was
crazy, but he explained the matter By
saying: "Brethern, don't be alarmed;
the word of the Lord is in my mouth,
but the devil is in my breechesw
Webster always told it with great glce
to the ministers. m
