THE DAILY JOURNAL. WILMINGTON. N. C: " . - i - - i . t'SDAY. J AX 17 An Y 12. 188T. , , . . The Freedmen. Oar columns have more than onco lcen devoted to tlio importance of oar relation with the freedmen and the interest wo liave in making them contented, induittrions and useful laborers. Whether we will it or not, the negro is destined to compose the great laboring population of the South for many yean to come, and it is at least questiona ble whether wo could better onrselves by a change. In the great work of recupera tion of the Soutli, now fairly inaugurated, but Bo'ruewhat delayed by political troubles and uncertainties, the freedmen have a moet important part to perform, and upon them, in a great measure, depends the progress we make. Throughout the South there is an increas ing desire being manifested to do every thing to elevate the negro in the scale of civilization, not only as a just and merited reward for his faithfulness as a slave, but as a matter of political economy. All the legislation on tho subject has been to provide the amplest protection to his per son and property, and give him all the. rights necessary for his well-being. The sentiments of that noble, christian soldier, general Wadk Hampton, as expressed in a recent speech on the subject, are becoming the universal opinion of the Southern peo ple. "As aslavo, said General Ilamp ton, "he was faithful to us j as a frecdman, "let us treat him as a friend. Deal with him "frankly, justly, kindly, and my word for "it, he will reciprocate your kindness, "clinging to hit old home, his own- couu " try and Li former masters. If you wish " to see him contented, industrious, useful, " aid him in his efforts to elevate him " self in the scale of civilization, and thus " fit him, not only to enjoy the blessings of "freedom, but to appreciate iU duties." To make the negro fully onjoy the bless ings o f freedom, and appreciate it3 duties, and the great obligations resting upon him in consequence of the change- in his rela tions with tho whites, ho must not only be educated, but it must bo done by those who, at least, have a true appreciation of his nature, and are not hostile to us. Wo can not expect to regain their confidonco and affection, which to- somo extent wo have lost, or retain that which we have, unless we use the proper exertions, when wa know thero are powerful influences at work to win his heart from us, and from the land of which he. is a nativo -influences prompted by the most powerful causes which urge men to tho accomplishment of euds. The Southern negro is now being used as the great political engine by which party su premacy is to be retained. Having given them freedom, the Badicals claim a mort gage upon their lives, and when party de mands it, they make as many assignments and forfeitures as is deemed necessary. Bloody riots have already given many in nocent 'victims 'to' tho Moloch of Fanati cism, and although with affected horror, grave Congressmen are making ex parte in vestigations of them they will be .repeated ' whenever doubtful elections are pending! '. ) The freedmen must to converted into - agents of their own happiness and pros perity, and useful to ns and the country, by placing over their mental culture South- era minds. Education is tho ono great in fluence to which all others give way, and it ia worse than folly for us, by neglect, to " drive the freedmen from ns, and permit their minds to be moulded by those who hate ns and onr section. Tho people of the South are most to bo benefited by their proper elevation, and are to be the greatest sufferers, if they are converted into dis contented, turbulent and expensive laza- i ii i i. . roni uy muse wno wouia sacrmce tno cn. tire race if they themselves are well paid,' and the hatod Southerners are punished. We publish elsewhere the excellent pas toral letter of the venerable and esteemed , Bishop of Mississippi, whose, noble heart and Christian charity Nlcnowa no race or color, to the Clergy andsiauty of his Dio cese, upon their obligations to tho colored population of that State, and the duties 'imposed upon them by the new relations in which they stand to them. This letter portrays notronly the urgent necessities of the blacks, but their claims upon the whites, and the mutual interest existing between them. We think a careful perusal will bo of benefit to all If this class can only be made to know who thoir real friends are, and devote themselves to tho education and proper elevation of their race encourage honesty and industry, and not spend their time and dissipate their minds upon ex pensive and useless parades and hurtful as sociations in the idle hope of political priv ileges, which, if granted, would prove- . their ruin, there is fn store for them a hap- py future. Such letters as Bishop Green b are calculated to encourage such conduct ' and to restore mutual confidence and r . spect, whioh will prove beneficial alike to whites and blacks.' - Mr.Ln.twt,, wui- ... . weekly paver in lMn.i.ivi. .n.j .v.

I cxitrcKsed in brief but very decided terms my view ou thut ubicct ; and the journals of the Diocese will show that even as far bock as 1803 or 1854, I recommended a moderate and judi cious course of elementary instruction as a reward for such slaves ns were distinguish ing themselves Xor good beuavior. 1W the recent revolution in our political workL this unhappy class is presented be fore us in a new aspect, not as formerly, on the reciprocal dependence and attachment of master and slave, but on the cold, com irolaory and unsympathetic relation of hire ling and,, employer. An inscrutable provi dence has so ordered that the slave who once fttood In an almost filial relation to us, and looked to onr hands, nor looked in vain, for food and clothing and shelter, and nursing, caro and instruction in the things of God, is now without preparation for his untried state, thrown upon his own resour ces, and with the helplessness of childhood, left to provide as far as be can, for tho ne cessities of both body and soul. This change has literally been forced upon them ; for a happier race of laborers was never known upon the face of the earth, nor any who were in general so kindly treat ed, so moderately tasked, or so amply re warded for the work of their hand. That they were content with their condition and strongly attached to their owners, their conduct throughout the lato war when our wives and children, and our aged parents were entirely at their mercy will abun dantly testify. Before the intermeddling hand of blind fanaticism saw lit to sow dis content among them, thereby riveting the chains which they thought to break, a grad ual but marked improvement was going on in both their moral uud intellectual condi tion. A more general sympathy was felt in their behalf; the strong aim of tliolawwas extended frequently in their defenco ; no barrier was interposed to prevent an honest and trustworthy servant from learning to read his Bible '; and thousands upon thou sands might have been seen uniting in prayer, and kneeling at tho same altar with their masters and mistresses. Jn my annu al rounds it was my delight to give to them the afternoon of each I-iord's day, and to receive a considerable number into the folds of the church. Now tlioNO onco happy con gregations are broken up; not ono negro has approached mo on tho subject of reli gion Bince their emancipation, they love to go where their animal tee ings can be most 6trongly excited, and in the rountn, where there is no loncrer a kind mistress to cate chise them, they are relapsing into the lows est kind of superstition which their fathers brought with them from the shores of Afri ca. The distinction of caste (in the right meaning of the term) which was before un known and unthought of, h now forced upon ns. lo replace him in his lortner' state, however desirable on his own i ac count, not cur, h now beyond tho power of thoso who know him best, and feel for himmost deeply. We are compelled, thero fore, to look around and see in what man ner we can best repay him for hi3 pa'bt fi delity, and acquit oluclvea of the claims which his ignorance, improvidence and helplessness impose upon ua. To treat him with kindness in our daily, unavoidable in tercourse with him, to bo fair and even gen erous in making contracts with him, to be punctual in the fulfillment of our Engage ments, and to make all due allowance for his shortcomings, are duties so plainly bind ing upon us that I pass at once to that other, and I may say no less important b ligation of providing a suitable measure of instruction for him, especially for his chil dren. To this duty we aro called by every motive of eelf-intercst, as well a:i of grati tude and humanity, If , this rate, our equals, if not superiors, in numbers, are to remain iB'the midst of us, a sound policy, no less than christian charity demands that we should do all in our power to elevate them to tho Bcale of social being, and make them more worthy of tho political sf?slhat has been thrust upon them. This end can in noway bo more effectually accomplished than by establishing schools for their in struction, on tho various plantations and in country neighborhoods, as well as in our towns, and by employing suitable teachers to take them in charge. A rude, but com fortable school house might be erected by two or more neighboring planters, and the burthen of providing books and teachers be thus divided among them. Through a pro vision of Congress, a liberal allowance has been mode for the rent of : each school house : which rent may fairly be appropri ated by the planter towards the payment of the teacher. , . . ; In carrying out this object I am happy to inform you that every facility within his rower win be anorued by uen.

He will take pleasure in giving all necessary 'informa tion and instruction to any ono disposed to engage in this good work. Let me, therefore, dear brethren, earnest ly commend to your serious and prompt at tention the intellectual and moral improve ment of those who were lately our faithful slaves. To my brethren of the Clergy I trust nothing more need be said than to re mind them that within their respective spheres, they aro bound to do all the good they can to all men without distinction of crade or color. To my brethren of tho lai ty, especially those who are planters, other i: i . l e rn,;-,-.. t .. address themselves ; for they mnst know that, that man will bo most likely to pro cure as many hirelings as he wants, nnd to keep them obedient and contented through out tueir contract, who gives tneni the as surance that ho will provide for tho inslrus- tion of their children.

The committee in question, one of the present Congress, is composed of the following members : James F. Wilson, vt Iowa, Chairman ; Geo. t. Butw it, of Massachusetts ; Frauds Thomas, of Maryland ; 1 hoa. Williams, otPennsylvania ; Fred. K. Woolbridge. of ermont : Daniel Morris, of New York ; Andrew J. Rogers, of New jersey ; " William Lawrence, of Ohio ; Imrton C. Cook, of Illinois ; ' -All Ilepubli cans, and we believe, all of the Radical school of Ashley, except the solitary Democrat familiarly known as "Little Jack llogers, of Jersey.'' 8ix at least of this com mittee, we understand, are resolved upon the peachment, so far as their labors may con tribute to this end, and profess to believe that a" budget of 4 high crimes iid misde meanors" can le established sufficient for the removal of Andrew Johnson. It is given out, too, that among the charges that will be brought against lam will be this : that but for his influence employed against the pending constitutional nmenument m the South it would have been accepied by the excluded States, instead of being indig nantly scouted by them, as a treaty of re storation ; and of all the accusations made against him, this is perhaps the one which bis enemies in Congress may employ most to uis - preiuaice. xi iuev asic mm ouuer i ..11 -1 l 1 what authority he has interpot-ed between Congress and the States to defeat the pend ing amendment; what answer can ho maker lie can only meet this question by answer ing that he has not interposed as charged, and that accordingly this accusation falls to the ground. We presume, too, that he is prepared to give tins answer, and to make it good, notwithstanding all the newspaper reports of his alleged advice and instruc tions to Southern Governors and Legisla tures to reject the pending constitutional amendment. Let ns suppose, however, that tho House of Representatives, acting as a grand jury, has found a true lull against Andrew Jonn- son, and tnai under mis uui ne isarraigneu for trial at the bar of the Senate acting as a high court, with Chief Justice Chase as presiding judge; what then .Does any one suppose, upon ine cuarges maae, wuicu would apply more or less to all our L resi dents siuee the first election of Jackson, that two-thirds of the Senate can be mus tered for a conviction ? No; for it is proba ble that at least two-thirds of the Senators have been more or less implicated to a greater or lesser extent with the fresideut iu some of these alleged " crimes and mis demeanors, eepecially m regard to the dis tribution of the ppoils. As thero is, then, no probability that charges ofy high crimes and misdemeaa nors" against Andrew Johnson sufficient to justify his removal can be established against him, what advantages can accure to Cougresa or the Republican party from this prosecution ? -Wendell Phillips an- wers that the moral effect in clipping the winzs of a faithless executive will still beJ an immense gain to the cause ol Jioerty ' y . - and justice. We apprehend, however, that without any compensating good results the consequences of this proceeding, if pushed to a trial before the benate, will bo mis chievous, if .not disastrous to Congress, the Republican party, the Treasury aud the financial and industrial ' interests of the country, from the violent clashing and con fessionjof partios, factions !and sections that must incyiuioiy aueuu mo prosecution oi this impeachment, to the attempt to sus pend tho Executive in his functions, - with his arraignment as a prisoner.

The bau- quett ; last night, given iu honor of tho am vcrtryof tho battle ol JSew- Urieana, waa au imposing ailair. The President entered tho dining room at about 'J'oclock, aud waa received with rapturous and prolonged ap plause. Me remained until half-pa-st 11. : I eee you have published tho toast ho gave, and his brief ; prefatory Jremarks. I copld give but a feint idea of the eileefc they pro duced upori tlie audience, were I to attempt it. At no time since his elevation to the Presidency has he given such decided evi dence that he -mau be fullu trusted in any emergency, and that fie toill be omul equal to the task of meeting the dangers that Uireaien lite country. His presence seemed to inspire the sneakers with a spirit which had been quite unusual for the past, ffivf 'ears. It would be invidious to particularize, but I may, with propriety, say that the speeches of Messrs. Ulack. (Jowan, Uoolime, ider rick and Rodcrers exhibited a tone far dif ferent from the timid and truckliDg eiocu tion indulged in-of late by the opponents of congressional usurpation. In impassion ed anil emphatic language the President was pointedly told by these gifted orators that upon the first attempt of the plotters at the CamtoL to carry their lnlimousm surrectionarv projects into practical enect, they would look to him as commander-tn-cheif of the urmi and navu. e.cervise his functions to their full e.ctent, and that they could,'- after the occurrences of this evening, rely with renewed and undoubiing (tssurance . upon his determination to do kts juu amy. Mr. Cowan in portraying the monstrous violations of the Constitution already per petrated by Congress in expelling members avowedly to secure sulhcient majorities ; in refusing representatives to ten States, whose right to seats was as clear as those of Mas sachusetts, and in hundreds of other usur pations, freqeuntly paused to ask What then ? What is the remedy ? What is to be done? ' These usurpations these practical violations of the Constitution, he contend ed, were as gross as those committed by Cromwell when he " purged the House of Commons." . They called," he said, "for practical redress" and eyeing the Presi dent steadfastly for a moment, he con tinned, " and the means of' this redress cannot be found in speeches, however elo quent and logical ; in conventions, howev er numerously or harmoniously, attended ; of in banqnets, however splendidly sup plied but in practical action, 3a firmness and ia courage." ; . 1 i - Presentation of the. ; Henwrtal Cane to Mr if.f 'jf ?'" Davis. ; The Norfolk Bay Bookt ot Tuesday says : tThe handsome cano prepared by the la dies of the Catholic congregation of this ci ty a week or two ago for Mr. Jefferson Da ns, the folate prisoner at Old Point, was presented to that distin gushed gentleman yesterday by Mr. Join Oamage, of this ci ty, who it will be remembered won that privilege by raffle. LThe cane which ias already, been, described in this paper, ia made of a piece of oak from the Confeder ate ram Virginia, is surmounted by a long massive gold head, on which is inscribed a suitable legend together with the name of the ex-President. ij f Mr. Gamage reached the Fortress about U o'clock a. m., and after the usual prelim inaries, was admitted to the quarters of Mr. Davis. After a short conversation on dif ferent subjects, Mr. Gamage produced the cane from a velvet lined box. and said : Mr. Davis : By chance sir, it becomes my very pleasant duty to present you this cane. It is token of respect aud esteem from tho ladies of the Catholic congregation of the city of Norfolk. Ber pleased to aceept it with its noble motto,) "Ine Offering of one the tribute of many;' and may it ever serve as a faithful reminder of its fair donors. Mr. Davis accepted the- beautiful gift in a brief, eloquent and feeling rejoinder, in which he alluded to tho kindness of the peo ple of the South to him dnrincr his prison life, spoke of his having been on several occasions, tho recipient of similar tokens ; alluded to tho kindness, constancy and pa triotism of the peoplb of Norfolk, and con cluded by requesting Mr. Gamage to extend to tho ladies of the Catholic chursh F of the city of Norfolk, his grateful acknowledg ment for their beautiful present, and inti mated that with the i permission of the la dies he would acknowledge its reception by tetter. - ' ... Puritan Hospitality. The Richmond Times relates the follow ing incident illustrative of the hospitality of the Puritans of New England: A Southern clergyman of great eminence. was invited Borne weeks ago to the house of a lawyer of distinction in a Northern city. In the midst of an animated conversation with the family, dinner was announced. "My dear Mr. S.," said the hospitable law yer, "our dinner is ready and we must beg you to excuse us for a short time. Be good enough to glance at1; my library while we are dining. " The wife of the noble Yankee host was, however so deeply interested in the eloquent discourse of the Southern clergyman, that she did not want to lose that intellectual treat,,; even while enjoying a more substantial repast, fohe therefore offered the following amendment to the proposition of her husband : "Perhaps, Mr. S., you would prefer sitting by the fire in the dining room and continuing your inter esting and edifying remarks while we are eating our dinner." The clergyman, how ever, having the carnal weakness of his cloth for a good dinner, declined both of these hospitable invitations and returned to his hotel in a frame of mind not exactly seraphic. ; -,- - From theiXewbern Commercial.

I know that the generosity of our good citizens (reduced, as tliey have been in their fortunes, by the calamity of war) has been sorely taxed, and if I believed it possible for them to weary of;, welldoing, I tdiould hesitate about making this appeal, lint I feel confident that the men and women of tho South have solemnly resolved next to the support of their own families, and the shielding from want , the wounded, widow ed, and orphaned of those who composed our Southern armies-s-to make it the duty of their lives to rescuo from oblivion ami desecration the bodies of thoso noble sol diers who gave up their Uvea in defence of our beloved but ' lost cause." I therefore make this application jwith the full assnr anc that it will meet with an earnest, hear ty and Bubstantal a response the more so, in view of the fact that North Carolina has more patriots dead on the soil of Virginia than any other Southern-State. s . , Contributions of money, fancy atUciee, agricultural productions, manufactures, Ac, are solicited from all portion of the State. Those forwarded from the counties. east of the county of Orange -l will be received by me here to be sent t Richmond ;' those from tli counties west of Orange, including that county, will be recurved by Mrs. lhos. Pewey, of Charlotte. Nasnie Daves, Agent of Hollywopdl Memorial Associa tion for the Eastern portion of ! North Car olina. '.!-.! .'I-''- CniCCLAH OF THE HoLLIWOOB MEMORIAL 13AZAAK Associatios.
