The Charleston Courier of the 2«*th inst.. has the following : Later from Columbia, 8. C. We conversed yesterday with several gen -1 lenten just from Columbia, S. C. Governor Mag-rath, at the time of their departure, was in Columbia, having returned from a short visit to his family at Spartanburg, S. C. On his arrival he received the despatches of General Gill more, left by Lieutenant Brock, and had published a reply. He also issued a notice stating that his functions as Executive had ceased, and that the State was now in the hands of the military au thorities of the United States. In his reply to Gen. Gill more's order, he gives his reasons for the action taken with regard to the subsistance stores left after the surrender of General Johnston s aruty. The destitute condition of the people in the up per districts, many of them perishing for want of food, and the lawless action of,roving bands and irresponsible parties in appropria ting these stores, called, he says, for prompt and decisive measures. He closes by grace fully yielding to the powers that be. and ex presses a willingness to answer whenever called upon to appear. We regret we were not able to procure a copy of the paper containing the reply. We clip from the Columbia Phoenix; of the 18th, the following : The Federal* in Columbia. Lieutenant Breck, bearer of dispatches from Gen. Gillmore to the Governor, arrived in town yesterday, with a small guard of fifteen men. As far as known, these dispatches re late to the disposition of Confederate States property, under the Convention made be t ween Generals Sherman and Johnson. They seem to have no furtber significance. It is to be regretted that the Governor is temporarily absent. Couriers have been sent after him. It is to be hoped that the Lieutenant and bis guard will remain awhile if it is only to sur vey the ruins of Columbia by moonlight. The moon rises about 12; the scene from all sides of the Capitol is very fine. There are some five persons : n Columbia who, being innocent of all offence, are greatly apprehen sive of being hung. We advise them to keep nut of the way. All rumors will, we trust, be suspended until the departure of our mili tary visitors. Orangeburg. Oranoebitro, 8. C., May 2.7. Daily railroad communication with Charles ton and the re-opening of the telegraph office, changes the appearance of this vil lage completely. Besides the troops, many visitors, including old aud new friends, fre quent the streets. Fire has disfigured the town, but its groves and lawns are uninjur ed. Stores are beiug opened and tiade re vived. Mr. Wilcoxson, well known in your city, yesterday opened an immense stock of goods, and advertises to buy cotton. The cornfields in this vicinity are in fine condition; but not all of them are early.— Other crops promise well. Much planting lias been done, and the negroes remaiL wil lingly with their old masters when they are well used. The use of the lash causes them to assert their freedom. Last Subbath the negroes in this section congregated about the camp oftkeKnth Mas sachusetts C. TANARUS., a mile and a half lrom town, and > listened to a discourse from a preacher of their own color. lie repeated the sentiments of Rev. *H. W. Beecher, ad vising industry, respectful behaviour and re newed life. The s"»th Regiment, O. V. at tended the Presbyterian Church here. The citizens are gladly taking the oath of allegiance, and although the houses are all lull, there is generally a welcome for the stranger at every door. Property is respect ed and there is a disposition among the sol diers to favor the people in every way possi ble. The orphan children are special favor ites in the camps. They are so respectful and gentle that their condition is fully appre ciated. AVGUSTA ITEMS. The Constitutionalist of the is receiv ed. An election for Directors of the Central Railroad and Banking Company of Georgia is to be held in Macon on the first Monday in June. The Parade Yesterday. We attended yesterday at the Arsenal Pa rade Ground ad.'ess parade of Brig. Ganeral Washbume's command, and have seldom seen an affair of the nature, characterised by better discipline and a more soldierly appear ance. Quite a number of citizens were in attendance to enjoy the spectacle, an enjoy ment marred somewhat by a violent rain, which prevented the command receiving that attention merited. At the conclusion of the parade, one of the ieginreuts went through the mnnnal with a precision that wonld have ilelighted the heart of a maitre ti'nrmes. Our thanks are due General Wasltbitine for his Courteous tender of means of conveyance to the grounds. A Few Facta about Planting. Mr Editor: With your consent I submit a few facts, for any use yon may think liene licial to our government and peopl?, at this moment of serious transition : Ist. The planters of Georgia in their most prosperous days, before the war, onuinj their laborers, did not average eight bushels of corn per acre. over five bushels of wheat. dd. N( t over four bushels of rye 4th. Not over 80 lbs of Cotton. Nor did they as a State average a nett in come of lour per cem on their capital Res pectfully, „ Fabmck. Address to the Planters. The Rev. M. French, of Gen. Saxton g statF, will address the planters of this vicini ty at the Masonic Hall to-morrow (Friday) morning at 10 l-‘2 o’clock on the subject of retaining the services of 1 heir servants. Mr. Fraecu will be assisted by Captain Bryant, who is appointed by the government to ar range terms of agreement between the plan ters and their late servants. Planters are respectfully invited to attend. Robt. H. Mav. Mayor C. A. FROM JACKSONVILLE. FLORIDA. [Froia the Florida Luton, May so.] We would suggest to the assessors of tire | seveial counties of this State to send their ] assessment rolls to the U. S. District Tax ! Comniis-ioners at this plhee. By so doing | they will save much expense to the people. The Commissioners desire to discharge their duty without imposing unnecessary cost on property owners. Product* of tlie Insurrectionary State*. Persons owning or controlling products such as cotton, turpentine, rosin, Ac., in the insurrectionary States, by making proper application to Hallet Kilbourn, IT. 8. Pur chasing Agent at Fcrnandina, can procure a certificate of purchase which will give safe conduct to the parties, their products, means of transpoitation from the locality where the products are, to Fernaadiua, ' where the Agent will purchase the products in accord ance with the regulations ot' the Treasury Department. Matters About Town. Since the surrender of Johnston's army Which included the late rebel forces in this State, our town is assuming a rfyeerful as pect. Many of the old citizens have re turned and are making arrangements to re sume business. Among the distinguished individuals who have visited the city we may mention Col. Sanderson. Sandersou, has the honor (?) of being the reputed author of the famous ordinance of secession which forced this State, in the wake of South Carolina, out of the Union. The Tax Commissioners lead advertised the sale of forfeited lots' to take place last Monday, and Sandersou had* come in to pay bis taxes. Considering his antecedents and the state of the weather, and the fact that he walked twenty miles, this proceeding on his part may be regarded as refreshingly cool. Hon. D. L. Yulee, Col. McCormick, Col. Hopkins and others of note, whose names we can not cali to mind, have come in. With some few exceptions they are ready to take the oatli of allegiance and resume their obligations to the Federal Gov ernment. Distinguished Arrivals. The steam transport W. W. Colt arrived here Thursday afternoon having oa board, Maj. Gen. Q. A. Gilmore, Hon. S. P. Chase. Chief Justice U. S., Miss Chase, Hon. W. P. Mullen, General Agent Treasury Depart ment, and Hallet Kilbourn. The Coit stop ped a few hours at Fernandina, aud while there Chief Justice Chase swore in the wor thy Mayor of that enterprising city, lion. A. Mott We believe this is the ffrst'instance in the history of Florida where one of its mu nicipal officers took the oath ot office before so high a public functionary. .The Chief Justice has known Mr. Mot, long and favor ably. We are glad to see him so well en dorsed. Brvt. Brio. Gen. Stewart L. Woodford. We congratulate our friend, the former Colo nel, upon the acquisition of new honor. If simply going Northward, on a business mis sion connected with the interests of the De partment, should be always productive to stellar adornment, we presume many would be solicitous to have the opportunity of pack ing up their carpet-bags. But there are cer tain preliminaries to be gone through, in the way of service and the exhibition ot abilities and devotion to principle, before the bright but telling iusignia can drop plump upon one’s shoulders. Stewart L. Woodford entered the service as a private iff the 127th N. Y. Yolunteers. He was elected Captain, and afterwards pro moted to the position of Lt. Colonel. He was under tire and acted gallantly at Morris Is land, Honey Hill, aud other places of note. He has been Provost Marshal General of this Department. Having been promoted to the Colonelcy of the 108d U. S. C. TANARUS., he was made Post Commandant at Charleston. Lat terly, as well known, he has been, and is now, the efficient Chief of Maj. Gen. Gill more’s Staff. This, in short, is the outiiiie record which has brought about his well deserved promo tion as Brevet Brigadier General. When we add that nnceltsing activity ot a well-cultiva ted and logically trained mind, persevering industry in whatever position occupied, strict adherence to principle and the exercise of a natural urbanity possessed by but few—have always been characteristics of this gentle man, there is no reason for wonder that the eagle has been embalmed aud the star made to appear. The “powers that be” have done worse things in the way oT promotion than this—n'one, as we think, much better, or more to their credit. \\ hen we see how peculiarly appropriate is the new decoration, arising from the steadfastness of the possessor in adhering to the humane faith that the captive's hoffc- and the captive’s guide would eventually he the ruling luminary of all the constellations, we can almost imagine that the recipient has lately been summoned, in obedience to a “higher law,” to the North Pole, and has re turned with a scintillation from the sprightly orb aliove it; and. let us indulge the idea, that in an unpolluted atmosphere, elaboiated from the music of the spheres, his ear was surely greeted with the voice, only occa sionally vouchsafed, saying, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” - Port Roual Sea South. FROM THE PACIFIC COAST. , San Fkancisco, May ID. The Union Leagues have started ’ move ments for the erection of a momument to the late President Lincoln on the Pacific coast, at a proposed cost of a quarter of a million of dollars. . The hark Madrid, 57 days from Hong Kong to Victoria, reports that a rebel pri vateer was at that place, supposed to he the Shenandoah, from Melbourne. Much alarm is felt lest she attack American vessels at sea. Thousands of Indians were assembling at New Westminster to join in the celebration of the Queen's birthday. California mining stocks are looking up again. Gould and Curry advanced to six teen hundred and sixtccu dollars. Large sales of it have been made on Has tern ac count at recent reduced prices. Ix*gal ten ders advanced to 78. A Roman Catholic church has been opened at Nagasaki, Japan. A fire at Ilakodadi destroyed a large amount of produce. The steamship Ori/iaha. from Portland, Victoria, brings # 144,000 gold, mostly ft om the Oregon and Idaho mines. Great expec tations are entertained ot the coming season on \ ancouver’s Island. Mining in the north ern districts is generally bemg resumed. 1 reasure shipments liereafier from that altar ter will be largely increased. San Fbancisio, May 22. 1 he overland mail last night brought New x orlt papers and letters of April 24. Advices by the last northern steamer an nounce the commencement of the Russian overland telegraph from New Westminster, proceeding northward. Tiie work is under the superintendence of Edward Conway. Major Pope left hero on the Sierra Nevada, and will take up the exploration from where Mr. Conway is working. Showers of rain during the past two or three days have benefitted the crops in California. The week closes on the steady money market, the demand in outside stock circles being rather light, owing to the sluggish con dition of general trade. Bank rates on the best senility 1 I-4 to 1 1-2, and on stock col laterals 2 1-2 to 3 1-2 per cent. The Peruvian ship Campania cleared to day for Hong Koug with $42ti,000 in specie. HEADQUARTERS U, 8.

Purchasing Aoent, ) Savannah, Ga„ May 22, 18(15. f The attention of cotton owners is called to the fol lowing extracts from the “Amended Regulations for the purchase of products of the insurrectionary States on Government Account,” issued from the Treasury Department of date May 9th, isti.l, and approved hv the President of the same date. “I. Agents shall be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, to purchase lor the United States, under special instruc tions from the Secretary of the Treasury, products of the States declared to be in insurrection at such places as may from lime to time be designated by the Secre tary of the Treasury as markets or places of purchase. 111. The operations ot Purchasing Agents shall he confined to the single article of Cotton; and they shall give public notice ut the place to which they -hall he assigned, that they will purchase, in accord ance with these regulations, ail cotton not captured or abandoned, which may be brought to them. IV. To meet the requirements of the Bth section of the Act of July 2, ISUi, the Ag nts shall seenre al! cotton so brought, and forthw th return to the seller three fourths thereof, w hich portion shall be an aver age grade of the whole, according to the certificate of a sworn sampler or expert. V. All cotton purchased and resold bv purchasin'' Agents shall be exempt from all fine and all Internal taxes. And the Agent selling shall mark the same “FREE” and furnish to the purchaser a bill of sale duly and accurately describing the character and quan tity sold, and containing a certificate that it is exempt lrom taxes and fees as above. * * ********* IX. Ail Agents are prohibited from purchasing any product of an insurrectionary state, which rtiall have been captured by the m litary or naval forces of the United, states, or which shall have been abandoned by the lawful owner thereof. X. “These regulations, which are intended to revoke and annul all others on the subject heretofore made, will take effect and be in lorn* on and after May loth. 1805." The undersigned has been appointed Purchasing Agent at Savannah, and hereby gives notice that he is prepared topnrehase, in accordance with the regain tions, of which the above paragraphs are extracts, all Gotten not captured or abandoned, which mav be brought to him. The war is virtually closed, and to the end that the people may, to as full an extent as possible, commence to reap the benefits of a state of peace, it is desiraqle that the old and regular channels of trade he re-estab ed, new ones opened, and the occupations of the peo ple, both in city ansl country, be resumed. It is ex pected that the purchase, by the Treasury Department, in good faith oi the cotton ir the country now in the hands of its owners, returning therefor a lair and hon cat equivalent, will largely tend to bring about a state of things so much to be desired by all. nvßestrictions upon trade are now virtually abolished, and citizens may, with a few unimportant'exceptions, now purchase and take awav whatever their necessi ties require, and I feel satisfied that the disposition to do all that may be done to bring about once more a normal and healthy condition of trade will not be wanting. «'otton owners may rest assured that it is now perfectly safe fso far at least as any interference on the part ot the Government is concerned) for them to bring in aud dispose of their cotton, The fullest protection will be guaranteed, upon its arrival in Sa vannah, and such other protection and safe conduct as the Agent may be able to obtain for cotton iu transitu will be freely afforded It is hoped that before long enterprise will open up better and safer means of communication with, and transportation to. Savannah Irom the interior than now exists. In the meantime, and until that takes place, owners of Cotton at distant point, desirous of marketing it at Savannah, will doubtless he üble to devise temporary expedients for accomplishing that ufld. • n T. p.
