ßyThe boats doe from New Or.
loatiH yesterday did not roach here in
time to enable us to give an abstract
of the latest news lor our present in
su«. We presume the woather in
New Orleans has been of a similar
unpropitious character to that MCperi
ouced here within the past few days,
nnd that consequently the movements
in the markets must have been con
sitluiably Bet back and retarded.
Omission Rkotifikd.—Wt are re
quested to Btato, th»t Messrs. Archer
k IIkndkrhon were Binon# the sub
Heribert! for repairing th« Plank Road
in our parish, and that the name
of said firm was inadvertantly omitted
by the Committee in the making up
of the list as published in our last.
The amount which those gontleman
Bufesötibed was twenty five dollars.
F a T al attn D ihtrkbbino C ircum
sta ne If.— kW e are pained to learn that
Lient orrant Geo. I.emmon, who was
an officer during the war, in the com.
pa ly known na the "Delta Rifle»,'»
metj with his death on Saturday night
ui^ler the most melancholy circum
stanoea. He waa standing near the
fireplace at his residence in West Ba
ton Rouge, and, as is supposed, wa,
seized by an epileptic fit, which
caused him to fall into the fire, pro.
ducing euch injuries to hi« person
from burning, as to result in hi» death,
a fow hours afterwards.
He was nn excellent and worthy
gentleman atad his deplorable death
will he mourned by a large circle of
friends,
SOUTHERN LABOR.
This is a question so closely inter
woven with tin* future welfare of the
country as to inske it one of univer
ual and unceasing solicitude. Our
exchanges from the various sections
of the Union are giving it serious
attention ; and movements in many
directions indicate the importance in
which it is held by those who beBt
know how to appreciate it as the
great lever and regulator by which
trade and commerce are to be lifted
up and made reliable and subservient
to the vast interests dependent on
them. I m : ,
The subject of Southern labor.
Bays the Boston Post, is the most im
portant one that now engages the
public mind ; upon its solution de
pends the political, moral and finan
cial well-being of the country, and
no time can be lost in considering
and acting in reference to it, without
incurring great risks to the future
prosperity and great sacrifice of hu
man HFo ; for if some mode ia not at
once adopted to ensure the employ
ment of the freedmen, the mortality
among them will be frightfully deso
lating. At the meeting at the Rooms
of the Board of Trade, oo Monday,
gentlemen who have long and anxi
ously reflected on the great question
will present their views for consider
ation, and we trust such feasible
measures will be proposed fcB will
receive hearty concurrence. If the
Government can properly aid the
consummation aimed at through the
Freedineu's Bureau, by imparting
more power and energy to it—or by
any other means—we hope it will
receive the prompt and hearty co
operatiou of all citizens who desire
tho great industrial question of the
South settled in a practical manner
—in a way that will restore that »ec«
tion to quiet, and prosperity com
mensurate with its great natural re
sources, and renew that community
of interests between all sections of
the nation upon which it» traoquility,
wealth and power depend.
President Johnson's Message
This document meet* with great
popular favor. It is justly common
d«d for the calm, dispassionate aud
dignified manner in which it treats
of the weighty affaira of the Nation,
as well a* for the profound statesman
like views and suggestions it advances
in furtherance of the restoration, ame
lioration and perpetuity of the State»
Under the true and impartial forms
and priuciplea of constitutional govern
ment.
Taken altogether it ia one of the
best Slate documents that has emana
ted from any President nine« the days
of Washington. We regret that our
limited space prevents its reproduction
entire in our columns, and tli^t we
are constrained to subject it« princi
pal features to an emasculating process
as follows :
1. The President expresses "grati
tude to God for the preservation of
the Uoited States," and next reverts
to the late President Lincoln, paying
respectful tribute to his moraoty, and
recalls to rnind his death and the
manner of it, and how it was deplored
in the United States and foreign
countries. "His removal" savs Presi
dent Johnson, "oust up >n me a heav
ier weight of cate» than . vor devolved
on any of his predecessor^."
ti. The support and confidence of alj
branches of the government aud of
the people is invoked to assist him
in tho fulfillment of his trust. The
union of the States, he contends, was
ntendod by its authors to last afl
long as the States themselves shall
last, and the words of the Constitu
tion are, that the Union «linli be per
petual. The Constitution contains
within itself ample powers aud re
sources for its own preservation
against all infringements or usurpa
tions, an axiom which has always
been asserted by every patriotic
Chief Magistrate. Absolute acqui
escence in the decisious of the ma
jority was enforced by President
Jefferson as the vital principle of re
publics, and the events of the last
four years has established, says Mr.
Johnson, that there lies no appeal to
force. The maintenance of the Union
brings with it the support of the
State Governments in all their rights,
but it is not one of those rights to
renounce their places in the Union
or to nullify its laws. The Govern
ment of the United States is a limited
Government and so is that of every
State. Their mutual relations make
up their political system and in that
their connection is indissoluble. The
whole cannot exist without the parts
nor the parts without the whole.
3. Peaceful and reciprocal emigra
tion is advocated as one of tho best
meanB for the restoration of harmony
to the country. He alludes to bis
appointment of Provisional Govern
ors, the re-opening of the U. S. Courts,
Custom Houses, Post Offices, &c., in
the Southern States, as tl^u proper
means whereby he has sought quidtfy
to restore the rightful energy,of the
General Government and tho States.
Hintfl at the possibility of a general
amnesty in the early future, aud
dwells upon the need of a concur-*
rence of all opinions and a mutual
conciliation of all parties in the late
terrible conflict. Advises the adop
tion of the amendment to the Consti
tution providing for the abolition of
slavery forever.
4. He affirms the treasonablenoss of
crime. Persons charged with its
commission, should however have fuir
and impartial triais in the high and
civil tribunal of the country. Trait,
ors should be puniabed and the crime
made infamous,
ß. The relations of tho General
Government toward the four mijjion
fre «dmen, have engaged his most seri
ous consideration. To extend the
elective franchise to that population
IB a question to be decided by each
State for itself. The freedmen should
be encouraged to honorable and use
ful industry. The change in their
condition is the substitution of labor
by contract for the status of slavery,
and tht several States should provide
adequate protection and remedies iâ
the premises. Slave labor is viewed
the in light of a monopoly which
locked the States where it prevailed
against] the emigration of free indus
try. The destruction of that motiop-'
oly will hasten free labor from all
parte of the. civilized world, to àssist
in developing varions and tinmascU'
rable resources which have hithertö'
lain dormant. The Preaident is down
on monopoliei arid Class legislation
as contrary to the germft of free ^ov
eminent, and production of dange
discord and trouble.
(5. A tax on travel and merchandise
in their transit between tho States, he
'
rebukes as one of the worst forms of
monopolies, and should be stermly
guarded against by appropriate legis
lation. Commerce should bo free and
unobstructed.
7. The, President next adverts to
the Reports of tho various Govern
ment Bureaus, which elicits consider
able of his attention. The Home
stead act is working successfully. The
businoss of tho Pension Bureau has
increased to an unpreoedent extent,
and will demand a large inorease to
the ponsiou fund. Qn the 80th of
Juno last tho total number of pensions
was 89,980, requiring for their an
naal pay, exclusive of expense«, the
sum of $8,022,445. The operations
of the Postoffice Department are en
ooursging, showing • surplus on hand
of 8861,480. The prompt reduction
of the naval and land forces liai large
ly diminished the Government expen
ses. It is proposed to reduoe the
military establishment to a peaoe
footing of 50.000 men. Over 800,•
000 of the volunteer forces have al
ready boon 'dlrichmrged from tho ser
vice, and the work of reduction con
tinues rapidly.
8. An uniform militia is system re
commended, with suitable provisions
for woundod and disabled officers, aud
soldiers. ,
9. A liberal share of attention is
next given to subjects connected with
the national »lebt and to foreign rela
tions. Tht) national debt is a heavy
burden on tho industry of the country
to be discharged without unnecessary
delay, and all must bear their fair
share of the burden. No favored
oIîish should demand freedom from as
sessment, and tho tux should be so
distributed as not to fall unfairly on
tho poor, but rather on the accumula,
tod wealth of the couutry
The policy of European powers
and of ihe United States, has, on the
whole been harmonious. The Presi.
dent submits to Congress the corres
pondence between this Government
and that of Great Britain relative to
tho disputed measures advanced by
each for a joint settlement of interna
tional differences growing out of mar
itimo injuries alleged to have been in
flicted on tho United States by the
couduct of England during the late
war., The correspondence between
.the United States and France relative
to the relations assumed by the latter
power on this continent, will also be
laid before Congress. The President
is unequivocal, though guarded and
respectful in his remonstrances agninst
the position of interference which
France has adopted in Mexico.
T hk S outh C arolina S tate C on
vention .—The Columbia South Car
litiian expresses tho belief that Gen.
Sickles has received instructions from
the President to reconvoke the South
Carolina State Convention for the
purpose of obtaining the absolute re
pudiation of the State war debt, and
the nullification, ' as distinguished
from the repeal, of the ordinance of
secession. .
