Tbo point* involved aro many Jnd intricate. Question? of loyalty uili- !.n«hiu agencies and interniuioiml law, .“ mingled together till a labyrynth exist* in which lawyers could only de- fiffht to wander. The first case which InmMUD is that of Withonbury and Doyle, X werorunuioistcamboaU on Hie Red River when th« rebellion was inaugurated. The guthoritiel Seized their boats, and to »ve their property, tbpy rotmiined and ran them under military orders, endea voring eererul times to oscapo with their bftauunsuccessfully. For their services the agent of the rebel authorities paid them certain amounts of cotton, among which aro tho nino hundred and thirty- five bales now in court. There are threj other claimants besides tho government and navy. The testimony is very volu minous, being now over four hundred pages of foolscap paper. This cuso in volves many new questions, and will un doubtedly bo carried to the Supreme Court of the United States. The fact that the officers of tho navy engaged in tho lied Jtiver expedition employ distinguished rouusel from Washington to represent their interests, shows that tho principles tv* be lettledaro of largo importance to them. The land forces engaged in tho snnio cam paign may wonder on what principle it is that a man on a gunboat is entitled to the proceeds of cotlon captured, whilo they who have captured large amounts of not only private robel property, but property of the rebel government, receive no pri/.o- nioney. It is certainly one of tho incon sistencies which the rebolii.m has brought into prominent notice. , Negroes In Georgia* At a meeting of merchants hold iri Bos ton on Wodnoaday, Mr. Win. King, who owns a plantation in tho northern part of* Georgia, made some interesting remarks in relation to tho negroes in that State, of which tho following wro extracts: "Tho cultivation of cotton required a continuous labor of Lwolvo months and rice of nine months. A single month of neglect, particularly in August, will de stroy the cottou crop, and so of rice in September. IIow to sccuro that certainty of labor was his main object now. No man would plant who could not (to sure of laborers all the year. Tho newspapers vary in thoir accounts ot tho negro and his condition, the opposite sides being ex aggerated, arul neither being strictly true. One paper speaks in tho highest terms of the negro and thoir ccndition; anothor the opposite; both aro prejudiced. Many negroes were receiving rations, and ex pected them to continue. Tho negroes needed kind counsel and control, and they were a raco particularly open to tho influ ence of kindness. Whenever tho head of a plantation left, tho negroes had loft or been driven off, and tho result whs the dea h of many. His plantation had boon protected by Gen. Shormnn, and his 220 negroes remained, and of those but five died up to July 1. But of the negroes who wero scattered a few examples would ihow thoir condition. Tho following were tiie statistics of seven plantations near his own: On one of 102 negroes, 34 bud died up to January T; one of BO lost‘20; one of Ifc lost 24; ono of 330, only a mile from his own place, lost 152 by dentils; one of 447 loot 02; ono of 81 lout 27; one of 280 lost 78. There must bo some change, tho negroes are dying out so fast. The sys. tern hitherto tried is a failure. On ono plantation, a Northern superintendent, a Methodist ministor, had not beqn among hit negroes but two or three times in a whole season, and theV were reduced to a deplorable condition by his neglect. Air. King would have somo system by which Northern men would bo induced to go there, and employ negroes in families, on •mall plantations, h hundred acres and u few negro families to each estate. The no- grooi would work earnestly and’faithfully under faithful, fathorly and kindly cure. A Northern man could obtain n profit of ux or seven hundred dollars on each la borer. In answer to a question, Mr. King •aid he had thought perhaps tho condition °J l “e negro in Savannah was worse than wiewhere, because they flocked largely to Jr® City, and there was no work for them. Ihey were gregarious, and they loved other’s socioty. Thoir idea was to Tk *k en pleased, preferring odd JOos to permanent employment.

Tho story told by the same writer of Cleopatra’s wagor with the tri umvir, that she would spend upon a sin gle dinner a.sum equivalent to £1,000,- 000, is better known. The Queen was ac customed to wear in her ears two pearls, and whon her lover ridiculed the banquet that had been prepared, as too extensive, she threw ono of these into a vo-sol of tho strongest vinegar, dissolved it and drank it off. The other was to have foliowod, but the umpire, by declaring that Antho ny bad already lost the wager, preserved it; and afterward, on tho conquest of Egypt, it was suwod in two, to mako pon- dants in the ears of Venus in tho Panthe on. Air. King reproduces this story to ( discredit it, and assures us no acid the 1 stomach can endure is capable of dissolv ing entirely a pearl,even after long mace ration. The wily Queen, he surmises, swallowed the pearl in some more agreea ble potation than vinegar, and, in order to gain her wag.ir, invented the fiction of in dissolution, secure of its ultimate re covery. But there wa9 another pearl of unrivaled magnitude, to which a more romantic talc attaches. This was the gem obtained by a diver at tho price of his life, for tho Sassanian King, Poroxes. So pri/.od w as ii by the monarch that it. occu pied his thoughts even in death. In the supreme moment of his fate, when about to perish in the pitfall into which he bad been entrapped by the leigned retreat of tho enemy, lie plucked from bis right ear this glory of Ids rc-gn and hurled it be fore him into tho abyss, deriving comfort even then from having cheated the foe of what would have been considered the most glorious trophy of their victory. In later times, when the diamond had sup planted the pearl in public estimation, wo have tho story of that known as tho San- cy, the history of wMiich, generally con founded with that of Charles the Bold, is hero correctly given. This famous stono was once s«*nl by its owner, Signor de Sancy, to Henry the IV, who wanted to raise? a loan on it. Tho servant to whom its transmission was entrusted was beset by robbers ami murdered. His mastor t however,recovered the corpse, an4 count ing upon the expedients of his faithful envoy, opened it, un i had tho satisfaction discovering therein his lost treasure. Boniin&rto may he said to have founded fortunes upon a diamond, for, after the 18th Brumaire, it was by pledging tho celebrated “regent" he procured tho funds indisponsable for the consolidation of bis power. Tho fimlor of this stono, slave, is said to have concealed it in gash made for its reception in tho calf of his leg, and then to have escaped to Ma dia®.

From the Bueyrus (Ohio) Foruiu. On Friday of last week, a largo and portly gent lorn an of African descent, named Silas Bryant, visited our town, tic companied by a white man, who, from appearance, we took for a police officer from somo city. It lurnod out that the white man was a detective from Nashville, and the negro a resident of tho same place. The objoet of their visit was to discover the abolitionist who has stolen tho wife of tiie sooty gentleman. They had tracked the pair, by hard work, to this county, and on Friday morning the detective, whon strolling about town, unexpectedly came across one Jacob B. Holler, a resi dent of Liberty township, in this county, and who had recently returned from the army. Heller, it seems, was accompanied by a portly, voluptuous looking female, of mher dark complexion, whom tho detective at once dbcovored to be tho wife of Bryant—tho colored gentleman accom panying him. They were about buying furniture to go to housekeeping. It seems that when llellor returned, accompanied by his dusky boi.uty, ho represented her as a “persecuted Union gouthorn lady" of great refinement, whom ho had married. Of course, the “loyal’' in tho neighbor hood went into ecstacies over the hero Holler and his Southern bride. They wont into tho best society, parties were given them, they attendou church, and everything went “merry as a marriage boll.” But, us the old adage has it, “mur der will out,” and tho visit of tho colored gentleman from Nashville—who, by the way, is as black as tho ace of spade*—cast n dark cloud over the hopes of Mr. Heller. It scorns that Tabitha Jane, tho name of the woman, left her husband and three little pickaninhies at Nashville, with the avowed intention of visiting somo friends in Memphis; but, instead, sue eloped with Holler and came to Crawford county. But up >n 6ceiug tier colored husband, Tabitha Juno’s old love for him returned, and hor lieu; L yem no l for her chiloron. Sbo con cluded to return with him to tho homo she had made so desolate; she, therefore forsook her white paramour, and started back on Saturday morning with her lawful husband to Nashvillo, leaving Heller to hang himself, or hunt anothor wench, or go somewhere and learn to ho a better mnn. Before leaving, Bryant entered a suit against Heller, in the Court of Common Fleas ot Crawford county, for seducing his wife, claiming damages to tho amount of ton thousand dollars.

OUrOW “ ,, ®o|"®."— A Republican Senator’s Views. Senator Doolittle, of Wisconsin, thus defines his position on negro suffrago: As negro suffrage in the Southern States being made a condition precedent to tho admission of their representatives in Con gress, I shall maintain: 1st. That the policy of Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Johnson, of leaving that to bo deter mined by those States for thomselvos, is the only just and wise policy. 2J. That it is in accordance with the let ter and spirit of the Constitution. fid. That it is almost inconceivable that any Fedoral administration should at tempt to enforoo universal nogro suffrage in States whore, for two hundred years, the negroes have been dograded by sluvery, when, at the same time, nearly two-thirds of the free Slates deny suffrage to porsons of tho same race, who have boon educated ns freemon, among freemen, with thoughts, habits and responsibilities of freemon. 4lh. That such a party would Inevitably throw the Union party out of powor in New York, Psnnsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, as well as in all the border States; givo the next Congress and President to tneir opponent; defeat, in all probability, the adoption of the amendmont of the Constitution of the United Slates, which they have evory- whore opposod, and by which alonejib- orly to the blackmail, and protection to him in its enjoyment, is made sure; which would leave tho Statos witli full power to re-establish slavery, poonago, or any other system of involuntary servitude, and thus sacrifice the most important of all the fruits of this terrible struggle; at tho same time it would, in ail human probability, produce a war of races. This is but ono more instance, so often repeated in history, in which tho most sa cred causo is placed in greater poril by the misguided zoal and fanaticism of its pro fessed friends than by tho opon hostility o r its avowod enemies. Some of tho foremost in denouncing Mr. Johnson's policy intond to mako un compromising war upon his Administra tion, in order to build up a now party for the next Presidential contest. Very re spectfully, J. K. Doomtti.k. Suggs iu AUbam’. iWrltton for the New York Clipper.) We remouiber in the published life of Suggs—the astute, and always right-side- up Pinion—that once being turned out of the paternal domicile, for lorn and some what abort of shiners, but indomitable in spirit, ho gavs vent to liia contempt of hostile circumstances, and expressed his hopes of tho future by tho universal threat of “Now some un got to suffer,” From the specimens of keon willed prac. tise, in “cotton operations,” which occa. sionally aro wnftod tS our oars from the flowery region of Oottondom, in the inte rior, We aro led to believe that our old friend Simon forms ono of tho vorluous and enterprising band of operators, and Hint many of tho brilliant schemes and do ings in the staple, gloam with tho scintil lations of aSuggs' genius. Tho following is ono of the lust from the country : “Lmst week, a countryman, (to all ap pearance) entered a cotton buyer's store in Selma, to make sale of thirty bales of cot ton. Soedy, his bat, dirty and holoy, his clothes and shoes, visibly corroborating his stntomcnt of tho cotton being his last of all his proporty, which he wisliod to gel full market price for. With somo beg ging our countryman concludes his trade, dolivors tho cotton, pockets Ilia greenbacks after somo scratching his bond, as to whether he had better not liavo traded lor gold, and modesty intimates his will- ingnoss to take something in honor of tho trade closed. Ho is accommodated— smacks his lipsover tho Bourbon—remark ing that it is an nli-fired long whilo since lie has tasted sicb, and leaves. Let us fol low our destitute countryman—Suggs, it must bo thee—straight hios to tho barber, and tho knight of the brush soon romovos tho hirsute from his chin, outs and “slick” in the latest Rtylo bis whiskers a la tootle, A furtive grin of satisfaction lights up the countennneo of our country friend as he views his changed appearance in the glass, ne might almost doubt his pnrson- al identity. From tho b irher's our friend visits, and successively invests in clothing, boots, hat, &c. It would be difficult at an hour of the afternoon, were you standing in front of tho cottou buyer's, to identify tho gentle man moving this way on that lino horse as our country friend of the morning. But it is.he, ana alighting, he strolls into tho storo to seo if he can get a chance in cot ton.. The merchant of the morning shows his samples, and in answer to the ques tion whero the cotton is stored, shows him the SO bales in the back storo. No sooner does our friend's eyo boliold tho mark of one of the balos than he declares his be lief that his neighbor Hodge’s lot of 14 bales, lately stolen, is among the lot, and that he therefore cannot buy. The mer chant, from him getting the same particu lars about tho cotton as our melamorphisod friend had furnished him in the morning, is foarful of the truth of the statement,ami desires to reward his expected faithful so- crocy with $250, which are finally ac cepted Not in tho weli-drassedgont. with much fob-chain, as ho carelessly stuffs tho 250 into his pockets, and lounges out to his borso, does the chagrined merchant recog nize tbo close and dirty country visitor of tho morning. But again after our coun tryman. Passing up the street upon a corner, whip in hand, among his rustic cliummies ho espies his friend Hodge. Accosting him, as soon as they touch on tho cotton subject, doos Hodge bewail his loss of 14 bales. Apparently in a reflect ive mood, Buggs suddenly brightens up with an exclamation of a believed knowl edge of tho location of tho cotton, “prob- bly already sold by some cussed moan thief.” But such knowlod|?o is valuablo, nor doos tiie wary Suggs impart the do- sirod information until he lias a written agreement for tho delivery of seven bales to him for compensation of information if tho said cotton should bo Hodge's. In. formed of tho location, Hodge makes for tbo cotton, proves his properly, threatens the merchant, and receiving tho value from the onco already swindled cotton buyer, returns, and settles up with Suggs. Then, they—enteringnsaloon nearby- smile, Suggs, with his hands in his pock ets, all over. Dou<ii.aa Mobile, Ala., August 29th, 1805.
