-IJHOOKVILLKFrid.iy Horning April 12, 18C7. A Better Day Coming for tho Cotton Crowing South. It is refreshing lo find in that capital rr.ontLlj, The &JittJ.ern Cultiratur, fub liarttil at Athen, Ga., to many cotton proving correspondents who ha? inch a masterly view of tho duties incumbent on thcra ia their present tcry trying transition utala from lavo to frco labor. Many of thcui set down the truo panacea for their present disabilities to bo in cdacat ing their own white hands to moderate pains-taking labor, which will cnallo them to become their own efficient over feers; and to improve a very little hired help into the maximum of practical use fulness, which a master's presence, dircc tion and encouragement, nerer yet failed lo accomplish. A Marion county plant cr writes thus: "1 don't care wbat color a man may te, be u a poor, thoughtless, corrupt mortal, unless you elevate his position, enlighten his mind, ond excite his ambition, and that by constant supervision, instruction, and penerons treatment. Tho.e white men who are now thrown broadcast on the world as hireling?, must he better than any I have yet tried, if they are more profitable than our freedmen. We aro now in a novel position in regard to them, tut we must have patience, and learn first to govern ourselves, cr we can never govern and instruct them to our mutual benefit. Do not try to cheat or deceive them ; we must have the rc?pect and confidence of those we try to govern, or all our hbor is lost. We can never have their esteem and confidence, except by honorable, generous, and strictly upright dealing with them. Many planters revenge the shortcomings of their help by malice, taking every occasion to taunt and jeer them, thus effectually crushing out tr.e little fielf-rcspect they have left. I have a number cf frccdmcn employed, and never had rnorr work dono day by day, nor with lc.s trouble and vcxatiou. I have yet to find the man or woman who has proved insensible to kindness." It seems to bo tha general opinion among the best and most enterprising planters, that thefrcedman ronst be lifted up, elevated, aud improved, in order that he may cmergo from the savage to the civillzad uu, which alone can give him that self-respect so necessary to hold him back from vagrancy and theft. Theso astute planters scout the iJen of importiog foreign laborers, either European or Asiatic, as a booties, costly experiment. They prefer to do their be.U to .amend the ills they have, and are determined not to "fly to others that they know not of." Why Southern Loyalist Ally Themselves With tho Kepublican Party. Ujr reference to tho resolutions passed by tho convention of loy.il xncu held at llulcigh, North Carolina, which rcio'utons aro given in another colamfi of this week's papcrjt will bo secu that tho Union men of that Stato have formally allied themselves with the groat Republican patty. This proceeding was natural. They could have allied themselves with no other without denying their faith, and to Lave attempted tho formation of now pirty would havo foolishly endangered their success. The Ilepublican party is. tho party which nvei tho Union, justified by works tho professions of our natiunal political crcoJ, and ret tho foot of tho nation on tho rock of universal freedom. TatiiotUm must accomplish its ends by organizations, so long as there aro men in the'land and organiz itions indifferent or hostile to tlioe end. As one of to speakfclicitiously cxpretted tho iaca : Without thirty all cur efforts will be waotcd. There can t o no li.lny of praoteal patriotism until vj form a party of truo men, and exert ou.elves for tho C!tU"o of "Union, Liberty und ll-malit v," I rj F-i'uiaiicaiijf i Why this convention of men, filled wit!: patriotis aspirations, ind r.$cd tho Ilepublican party, is further hown by tho word of i(a orators.

Thoso resolutions speak of party. Tho colored people are in favor of ono party the party, that bears on its banner and in its hentt tho motto of "Uulou, Liberty, Ivpuality." Givo us that. Col. Pavid Ileaton, of Craven, who had originally drafted tho resolution, raid : I think it better that tho Ilepublican banner which has been conrecrotcd by 10 many well foiight political battles, has been boldly thrown to tho brerio. The reoollections that cluster around it can never bo effaced from memory. It happened I was present at Columbus, Ohio, in 1831, when the first Republican orcsnization was completed in that b'tato. Never can I forget the zeal with which the new party entered tipon its proud and glorious mission. From that time onward it has gnincd in strength and powor, until it now stands without a peer as a political organization in this or any other country.. When the Government was threatened with destruction, the wholo iufluenco of ho party was thrown upon tho tide of the Union, ar.d in favor of tho old flag. Tho record is mode up, and history will

tell tho stoTy for all time that tho final liberation of four millions of bondmen was effected by tho bold and persistent efforts of this party. TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.

Russian America Purchased by tho Unite J States. Tho negotiation of a highly important treaty was concluded between ho Secretary of Stato and the ilussian Minister at Washington on Saturday, 30th nli by which the whole of tho Huisian possessions in North America aro ceJod to thq

Uniti d StUts. Tho Uuitcd States are to pay ItuMhia no veil millions of dollars for tho territory, a nominal mm, considering its Importance to this country. The negotiations wcro carried on with great secrecy. Tho subject was considered in tho Cabinet on Friday, and a larjo part of the night was dovoted to it by tho Secretary and tho tyusian Minister, who concluded tho Important negotiations nt two o'clock on Saturday morning. Tho President at onco communicatod tho treaty to tho Senate, which has rinco ratified it. It u stated that tho British Minister, Sir Fredrick Uruco, was taken by surpriao on tho announcement of tho treaty being signed, and that ho telegraphed to London for instructions as to tho courso ho will pursuo under tho circumstances; and, It h supposed, will protest ngainst the acceptance of tho territory by tho United States. Tho following description is given of tho territory to bo ceded : Ilustiaa America comprehends tho northwestern coast on tho Pacific, and tho numerous adjacent inlands. It lies north of tho rallel of 51, and tthout C") do. west of Wellington, wheroit- borders on Uiitish America. At tho southern extremity of tho boundary lino Mount St. Ulias towers heaven-wards to a height of 17,000 feet, and tho River Clarence, flow, ing into the Arctio Ocean, is at the northern extremity of the border. Westward of this lino the new territory forms a vast peninsub, extending to Uehring'a Straits (43 miles wide,) which scparato it from Kampchatka,on tho Afctatic continent. South of Mount St. Ulias a narrow belt, indented in I'ritish America, gives a long line of seaboard to the United States, aud this is ono cf tho most important features of tho acquisition. There are many islands of volcanic origin, some of thcra at present in action. Tho Aleutian and other archipelagos are the most importantislands. The coasts are bold and precipitous, and the adjoining seas teem with eeal, otter, bea.cr, and other aquatic and amphibious animals. Tho interior of tho country is unfit for cultivation, owinr to the rig orous climate, and much of it is as yet but imperfectly explored. The hunting grounds are cxtenivo and oiler a fino field for Americau enterprise. Companies have control of the fur trade. A Ilussian American Company export a vat quantity of valuable hkins, and for a long time enjoyed a monopoly in the trade, until a charter was granted to on Knglish company and renewed in 1S33, by which it was given tho right of Uiing a portion of the mainland, and the cxcluaivo privilege of supplying tho Ilussian posts with provisions, etc. New Archangel, on tli2 island of Stika, is the chief post of tho company, and is a fortiCcd Elation. It is the scitof a biidiopric of the (Jreek Church, but tho Kuropcan and half-breed population enjoy their own religions. Tho countjy is peopled by U.-quiraaux, but the number of inhabitants is very small in proportion to its extent. Tho Ilussian American telegraph will extend through tho country, thu making tho world, in a measuro, independent of tho Atlantio cable. Rejected. S. M. Shockslaycr's appointment to the ARscsjorship of tLo Second District of Indiana has been rejected by tho Senate Tho Scnato rejected tho nomination of Thomas W. Shea for Collector of Internal KcTcnuc in tho Second Indiana District. U. S. Circuit Court.

The North Carolina Union Convention. Tho wholo proceedings of this Convention, as reported iu tho llaleigh StamlraJ, wcro of tho most earnest aud gratifying churacter. ''Union, Liberty and Ivjuality" wot the motto of tho men gathered there, ond in no part of their action was a word said, or step taken, contrary to tho grand idea. Personal, social nud political prejudices wcro banished, aud all uuitcd in a Hnccre endeavor to iuaugurato jut and grand measures for the organization of a regenerated Stato. Therpectacle ttands for an example to the wholo country. Not a sontlment, speech or resolu

tion is hohtilo to tho most perfect ideal of free Ilepublican Government. Patriotism was the animating soul of ts life, and no man ran put his fiugcr on a passngo of its rocord to which any patriot can mako fair objection. Tho icsolutiohi, pawed unanimously, are po excellent in pen so and expression that we givo them placo in our columns: 1. Jii''ccl, That in view of our present political condition, our rel itiout to the National Government and tho people of nil Keetions of tho country, wo do this day, with proud satisfaction, unfurl the brilliant and glorious banner of Tbo Republican Party, and carnostly appeal to every true and patriotic man in tho Stato to rally to its support. Tho splendid and patriotic record made by Ibis prent political or-inN ration, in standing by the General Government with an inflexible resolution, in carrying forward profound measures of Ftatesmanship to a successful .issuo, and tho powerful aid giveti by it in finally overthrowing and prostrating tho mot pigantic rebellion of ancient or modern timc3, should cotnunnd tho re.'pect and challenge the admiration of every candid man. 2. Jlrsohid, That tho American Congress is eminently entitled to the profound thanks of tho wholo country for its perhcrvinr, persistent nud heroic devotion to the great principles of human rights as enunciated in the Declaration of Independence; that in the name of the patriotic peoplo of this Stato wo feel warranted in cordially nsscnting to and accepting the reconstruction plan recently and finally ad tpted by that body, and to end that jeaco und order may bo permanently secured and every industrial pursuit reFumed and encouraged, we pledge ourselves to use every fair and legitimate means to influence public fcntitnent to tho nearest possible approach to unanimity on this subject. o. 7.' s v.'itJ, That we rejoice that tho dogma long propagated, of tho right of peaceable secession under the Constitution lias been forever overthrown by the majestic uprising of the American people, in crushing out the late rebellion by force of arms; and that the doctrine that the supremacy of the general government has been established, and that the paramount allegiance of tho citizen has been acknowledged na'duc to tho United States. 4. JiitolccJ, That we sincerely exult in the fuct that as a nation wo arc now absolutely tion of Freemen, and that the sun in aTThia courso over our wids spread country no longer chines on .the brow of a slave. Without reservation we heartily indorse tho great measures of civil rights and impartial enfranchisement I vithout any properly tualification conjlVrreJ Vllhoüt distinction of coTor'T" and that wo arc ready to unito in tho early practical attainment of thepo inestimable privileges. Although the mortal remain of Abraham Lincoln now rest silently beneath tho soil cf his adopted State, yet his voice fctill rings like a clarion through tho land, earnestly summoningevery American citizen to tho Mlpport of tho great party of liberty and emancipation. 5. Htt'lml, That ns tho most potent nnd cCleient means by which tho South can speedily rcg'iin her lost prosperity, wc earnestly advoeato tho spreading of kno'.vlego and education among all men, and that to the attainment of this great end, we demand and shall persistently nnd firmly iiiM.ii upon tho absolute right of IV to discussion and frco speech on all euljccts of public interest, (J. us"h el, That wc join in an earnest wish for the maintenance untarnished and umlimmcd of tho public credit and plighted Ciit It of tho nation. 7. I t"h't?t That in tho inr.infcnnnco of tho position taken and tho principles Ibis day avowed, wo earnestly invito tho iufluenco nul co-operation of men of nil political persuasions who regard nnd cordially btipport tho recent action of Congress as n solution of our present political diluculties; that wo deprecate partisan violence, and desire peaco and good will toward nli men; and if in an open and fearless efTirt, which we proposo to mako on every suitablo occasion, to persuade and convineo the people that our highest duty and truest interest is to bo Bubacrvcd by maintaining tho principles of tho Republican party, on earnest interest should bo awakepc d, it will bo from no other cause than a rigid adhercneo to what wo regard as a sacred right and a solemn publics duty. . Tho speeches made wcro nil of a patriotic, liberal and ardent spirit, ns coming from hearts glowing with enthusiasm for a good and groat cauc. Tho influence tf tho convention will bo immenso and wholly excellent: and every loyal man of tho countiy must congr-itulata his fellow patriots of North Carolina on tho auspicious beginnings of their victory and rule.

Lawrence Hart, of Warsaw, Indiana, was arrested near Mount Vernon, Ohio, on Friday, and was taken back to Warsaw, Ind., whepco he had fled after tho perpe

tration of on of the most frightful oct of brutality on record. About six weeks ago, Lawrence Hart took Horn tlio poor houso at arssw, a boy four years old, named Winflcld Ilincs, s . .war Thrco weeks afterward tho child was mis sing. Its mother made inquiry ns to what had become ct it, and was told tliat it had been given away to a man living in Ohio. Not suthficd with this, she succeeded in interesting sono prominent citizens in the matter, who began to make nn investigation, whereupon, llnrt having Ihd, after n long search, tlio mangled body of the child was found in an eld well. At the Coroner's inquest, Hart's wifo testified ond others tcstiSrd that, from tbo very first. Hurt's treatment ef tl.o child "was brutal and cruel in tho extreme; that ho whipped and beut it without mercy alinot, it not quite, every day, and thatnn one occasion ho r-pent nearly a wholo day in torturing it in every wy the moüt hellish wantonness would suggest, first whipping it with a leather strap, then with a strip of board, until it was not ublo to walk, and then put it down in tho cellar, where it laid down in tho damp and chilly nirnnd went to sleep. Then he took ll o poor child from the cellar and plunged its head into cold water, and compelled it to remain out of doors until its feet were frozen. He then took it into the house, hung it up by the stairway by means of a strap passed around tho body, and held coals cf fire on a shovel under its feet. After torturing it in this manner for a while, ho took it down and nude it walle tho floor backward and forward, occasionally striking it with a leather hor-o-hip, until it foil at last, exhausted and senseless, on the floor. It further ppeured that the day the child died, Hart whipped it, first out of doors with a stick of h;i-io kind, until it was so exhausted that it loll asleep nt the table while they wcro rating brrakfb't. Upon this Hart flew into n roge, said, "D n you, I will hco if I can't keep you awake," and thereupon seized a horsewhip and whipped the child for some time, and finally struck its a severe blow otl the temple, cither with his fist or the butt cf the whip, and knocked its bend fcgainst a stairway, causing two more severe bruises on the back part of its head. He then allowed his wife to put the child to bed, and she states that she triod to restore it, but it died that night, when Hart took the body away. Conference on Reconstruction. Charleston, S.
