We have received later interior papers from which we make the following extracts; Augusta Union Club. —The membership of this Club is increasing dally, and on Mon day evening next it i9 proposed to organize by the election of officers. The meeting will be held at some central point so that all the members may have an opportunity of attend ing. One or two patriotic addresses may be expected. All persons who have taken the oath of allegiance and who are prepared to sustain the declared policy of the govern ment, are again requested to enroll them selves amongst its mempers. This organization looks to the speedy re construction of the State Government on the basis of loyalty to the constitution and laws and a faithful 1 support ot the proclamation touching slavery.— Augusta Sentinel $ Chroni cle. Another Negro Shot. —We learn that, a lady in Forsyth shot, and badly wounded a negro woman on Monday morning. It seems that her negroes that morning all left her, but in a little white one of the women came back and made an effort to take off a tub. — This the lady objected to, when the negro seized her by the collar and forced her back. Thereupon the lady drew and fired a revolv er the discharge taking effect in the heiad above the left eye. She came to the city yesterday and reported to Gen. Wilson facts in accordance with the above. — Macon Tele graph. Drowned.— Corporal .Tames Hamilton, Cos. K, 176t1i New York Volunteers, fell over board from the steamer Amazon on the morn ing of the 13th, and was drowned- He was about 25 years of age. His body was not re covered. He leaves a wife and family at the North.— Avgusta Chronicle Sentinel. Gen. Moltxfaux having been assigned to the command of the District of Nor: hern Ga., with headquarters still at Augusta, assumes the command in an order from which we make the following extract# : “The inhabitants of this District are noti fied that slavery is abolished, and that any action recognizing it in any way is piohibit ed. Tlte military authorities will giye every assistance and encouragement to restoring peace and prosperity to all loyal persons. “All cases of lawlessness or violence must be reported to the nearest military post that the same may be properly punished. In places where there is no military force sta tioned, such sheriffs, justices of the peace, and constables, as have taken the amnesty oath, will be allowed to act in their respec tive functions so far as to cause arrests for breaking of the peace or other criminal cases, but must bring the parties (white or black) as prisoners, to l)g tried before the nearest Provost Marshal. “Planters are advised to make contracts with the freedmen, and are referred to the labor regulations of J. E. Bryant, General Superintendent. Vagrancy and idleness on the part of tncedmen will not be permitted ; they must labor for their support." Arrival oe Troops. —The 23d United States colored infantry arrived at Augusta on the 16th. These troops, we learn, are to be stationed in that city. The Adams’ Express Company —Adams’ Express Company's messengers are now running as far as Kingston, Ga., on the At lantic and Western Railroad, sixty milps from Atlanta. The Crops in the State.- —We are inform ed that the wheat crop now being harvested, is a fair average one, that the yield may not be as great as some former seasons, but that the quality is good. In some sections wheat is more or less injured by smut. Corn prom ises a fair turn out, the seasons’ havidg been Very favorable.— Avgusta Chronicle Sentinel. Relations of England and America. — I have never believed that there was any real danger of a quarrel between the two coun tries ; but it is qf immense importance that we should be firm friends; and this is our natural state, for though there is a portion of the higher and middle classes of Great Britain who so dread and hate democracy that they cannot wish prosperity and power to a democratic people, I sincerely believe that this feeling is not general, even in our privileged classes. Most of the dislike and suspicion which have existed toward the U. States were the effect of pure ignorance—ig norance of your history, and ignorance of your feeling and disposition as a people. It is difficult tor you to believe that this igno rance could be as dense as it really was. — But the late events have begun ft* dissipate it; and if your Government and people act as I fuliv believe they will in regard to the im portant' questions which now await them, there will be no fear of their being ever again so grossly misunderstood, at least in the lives of the present generation. —John Stuart Mill. Price of Negro Labor in Virginia.— The Richmond Republican ot the 3d says : “A meeting of farmers representing Gooch lann, Louisa, Albermarie, Caroline, Orange, Hanover, and Fluvanna counties, was held at Louisa Court House, ou the Ist instant, for the purpose of considering thq question of the remuneration to be made for negro la bor, hereafter. After deliberation, k was determined to fix the hire of field hands at five dollars per month—the negro to furnish his clothing and pay his doctor’s bills. The sum of one dollar per day for hands during harvest was also fixed upon This is an important movement, being the first fixing the pay for the negroes in Virginia.’' Mexican Privateers. —The Panama Her ald says ? It is stated upon what appears to be reliable authority, that President Juarez has issued letters of marque for reprisals against French commerce. The letters in tended for the Pacific waters were issued several weeks ago, and those for the Atlan tic more recently. The result of this may be to cover the ocean with privateers, the precedents of neutrality established in the American civil war having greatly facilitat ed this policy. K PRICE, 5 CENTS A play, entitled “ Abraham Lincoln ; or, the civil war in America, "is on the boards of a Vienna theatre. —Gen. Grant has released from the Old Capitol prison at! wounded reltels who weTe willing to take the oath of allegiance. A Philadelphia city car conductor has * been sentenced to the Penitentiary for one year for “tor knocking down" fares. The war leaves about 9ixty thousand sick and wounded in the different hospitals of the country. The number is now being rapidly reduced by discharges. Harriet Beecher Stowe's youngest daughter wa3 married in Hartford, Wednes day, to a w pal thy Episcopal clergyman of Boston. \ * About six thousand prisoners of war have, so far, made application to be released, having already taken the amnesty oath. An order for their release will shortly be issued. The 19th Maine regiment has for a pet a . beautiful little snow-white lamb, which #trayed into the quarters of the regiment about the time of Lee’s surrender. Befpre the fall of Richmond, the Navy Department had six hundred vessels on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, varying in size from frigates down to tugs. Now there are but ninety in commission. —Adelina Patti has lately had a surgical operation performed on her in the removal of a tumor which had formed on the back of her head. M. Nelatou, a celebrated French surgeon,, performed the operation. —A child's faith in his mother is well il lustrated by the following iucident: “A lit tle boy, disputing with bis sister on some subject, exclaimed; “It is true, for mother says so, it is so, if it ain’t so.” -At Newcastle, Del., Eben W. Frazier, who killed his brother-in-law, has been sen tenced to imprisonment for life, besides pay ing $5,000, standing an hour the pillory, and receiving sixty lashes. —Gen. Ashley, of Ohio, Chairman’of Com mittee on Territories in the House, has left Kansas for tlie West, to explore the rich mountain country north of Colorado, pre liminary to the organization of anew Terri tory there, to be called Wyoming. —Already there has been a considerable reduction in the wages paid to mechanics and laborers in Troy, N. Y., and vicinity, owing to the prospective return of a large number from the war. Farm hands are said to be obtainable nt one-third less than last year. —The receiving-vault, containing the re mains of the “Martyr President,’’ is guarded night and day by a guard of honor, which will be maintained until the body is committed to Its final resting-place in a location in the cemetery, selected by Robert Lincoln. —The Government requires oopiotfof all the oaths taken under the amnesty proclama tions to be filled in Washington. Neatly ten thousand were received during Mr. Lincoln's administration, and the number is rapidly increasing under President Johnson. —The records of the Libby Prison, with the names, regiment, date of capture, &c., of every Federal officer and private that ever passed' the doors of that prison, have been sent to Washington. The whole number of prisoners there since the war, in round num bers, is 125,000. —A building in Cincinnati, feil,on Wednes day evening, burying a number of persons in the ruins, killing three outright, and proba bly fatally wounding fonr others. The walls were weak, and yielded to the pressuie of the roof, which had recently been heavily coated with tar and sand. —Mrs. Lincoln is to sojourn forjthe sum mer at Hyde Park, a lake-shore suburb of Chicago. Mr. Lincoln’s executor and nearest Mend, U. S. Judge Daniel Davis, of Illinois, after taking an account of the estate, has notified Mrs. L. that her means are very limited—in fact,- that she is poor. —The Pope of Rome was seventy-three years old on the 13th of May, and on the 16th of this month will reach the nineteenth year ot his pontificate. Out of the long list of two hundred and fifty-nine Popes, only eight have Worn the tiara for a longer period than Pius IX. , • Tbe policy of reconstruction is settled as far as the Executive isconcerned. Tbe Presi dent has peremptorily declined to permit tbe rebel Legislatures of either Alabama, Missis sippi, or Georgia to re-assemble. Provisional Governors will soon be appointed for those States. The New Orleans journals describe the crevasse in the Lower Mississippi, as one of the most destructive that has occurred there for many years. Tbe country in the neigh borhood of Brasliear City (on Berwick Bay) is inundated to the depth of fifteen feet, and the loss of stock of every description and other property is incalculable. The death of A. D. Smith, of Wisconsin, IT. S. Tax Commissioner for S. C., is announced. It occurred while on his way from Beaufort Judge Smith, it will be remembered, was the Democratic Judge who in 1855 pronounced the fugitive slave law unconstitutional, in the case of Garland vs. Booth, for the rescue of Glover, an escaped slave. —Sleep, like death, is a great leveler, said Mr. B » yawning, as he closed a large volume just before retiring. “Plato, while asleep, was no greater than any other mortal: ergo when asleep I’m as great a man as Plato. “Was Plato, when asleep, think you. your equal in every respect ? ’ asked his triend. “Certainly.” “Then he must have been an awful suorer.” • —lt is reported at Macou, Ga.. that Breck inridge, late rebel Secretary of War, has suc ceeded in making his escape in a vessel from the coast of Florida. It will be remembered that be parted company with Davis a few days prior to the latter’s capture, since which time nothing has been heard from him. His extensive library, left with a Kentucky friend until he should “return” to his home, is to be sold at auction in a few days.
