It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a busi ness re-union, I should repeat the warning so often given so my friends,—to beware of all those spurious and deleterious compounds which, under the specious and false titles of Imported Wines, Brandies, Holland Gin, Liquors, Ac., have boon equally destructive to the health of oar citizens and prejudicial to the interest of the legitimate Importer. Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac complish this salutary purpose, and to place before my friends and the public generally; at the lowest possible market price, and in such quantities as might suit their convenience, a truly genuinßGmported arti cle. Twenty-fire years’ business transactions with the largest and most respectable exporting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass ed facilities for supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors, and Liquers of the best and most ap proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the “Schie dam Schnapps.’ The latter, so long tested and approved by the med ical Faculties of the United States. West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli mates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cu pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a spurious article under the same name. I trust that 1 have, after much toil and expense, sur rounded all my importations with safeguards and di rections which with ordinary circumspection will in sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to all my customers. ' 1 would, however, recommend in all cases where it is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22 Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made oi my accredited agents. In addition to a’ large stock of Wines, Brandies, Ac., in wood, I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign sines, embracing vintages of many past years, bottled np before the commencement of the war, which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the early atten tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without loss of time, or calling personally st the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from the present "large and well selected assortment * UDOLPHO WOLFE, ju23 lm 22 Beaver street, New York, jyj"ACKY, HOGG A CO., GENERAL COMMISSION MERCHANTS, No. 2 Stoddard’s Block, opposite Custom House, SAVANNAH, GA.

The Royal Mail Steamer Cuba, arrived at New Yoik on the 27th ult., with dates from Liverpool to the ICth inst. JVe copy an ab stract of her intelligence from the New York World and Journal ot Commerce. A telegram from Alexandria states that cholera had broken out there, and that com mercial operations had consequently been suspended. It is stated that, owing to the necessity for repairing some of the B’reuch vessels which accompanied the Emperor to Algeria, the French channel fleet will not be able to visit the English ports before the middle ot Au gust. An explosion of fire-damp had occurred at the New Pitts collieiy, near Tredegar. Fif teen dead bodies had been brought np to the bank, aud it was supposed that thirty or for ty remained in the pit.. A sale was made iu the Liverpool stock exchange, on Saturday, June 17, in the old £I,OOO share of the Atlantic Telegraph Company. The price paid was four hundred and fifteen. The last, previous sale was two hundred and forty-five The Paris Pays announces that the Italian and Papal governments have agreed that all Italian bishops, without distinction, shall be simply required to enter into a written en gagement not to violate the laws ot the kingdom, and that no prelate shall be com pelled to take the oath of allegiance to King Victor Emanuel. The absent bishops will return to their sees, with the exception of a small number who persist in maintaining a hostile attitude towards the Italian govern ment During a procession in celebration of the Corpus Chiisti lete in Naples, on the 16th ult., about four hundred Bourbon and'cleri cal partisans, including some priests, assem bled in the street adjoining the cathedral, shouting “Long live religion.” The people attacked them with sticks aud put them to flight. Several arrests were made. The journals, iu discussing the event, urge the necessity of abolishing processions, except within the churches. The debate on the treaty with Austria, was resumed on the 15th inst., iu the House of ~ , » Commons. Mr. Handheld asked whether, aud when, the government intended to replace English consuls at the ports on the .seaboard, of the Southern states of North ATnerica, declared by I,the President to be open for general commerce on the first of July next; and whether the same consuls who occupied those several stations before the war, and were acquainted with the interests, would be again sent out. Mr. Layard said that English consuls were now placed at short intervals at the principal ports «f the Southern States, such as Charles ton, Savannah, Alobile, New Orleans and Galveston. The Paris Moniteur of the isth says : « We stated some time since that in the month of April last the Captain ot un En glish vessel at Honolulu had tofu down the flag at the American consulate. This insult created a great sensation in the town, and the English officer in command on the sta tion, ordered the flag to be rehoisted, and made personal excuses to the consul of the United States. We now learn that the i Washington government was not satisfied) with this, but demanded further satisfaction from the English government, which latter has just sent a dispatch to President Johnson expressing its regret for the occurrence at the Sandwhick Islands. The London News pHts in a strong plea for mercy to the Southern rebels and also the London Times. The Paris Moniteur denies that reinforce ments have been sent to Mexico. Anew infernal machine had been project ed at London which was said to render use less the construction of iron ’clad vessels, and opened the prospect of perpetual and universal peace. Mr. Dupuy DeLorme of the Ministry of Marine, made some explana tions as to thie machine, and said it was by no means calculated to lead to the extraor dinary results spoken of by M. Kervegnen. A military conspiracy is said to have been discovered at Valencia, in Spain. It was immediately suppressed. Lord Brougham had made a speech on American affairs at Fishmongers’ Hall, in which he spoke as follows . If my voice could reach across the At lantic, it would tell our kinsmen that their best friends, those who have been their ad vocates through good report and through bad report, now pray and beseech them to use the victory which, by great courage, great perseverance, and no little military skill, they have gained, in mercy as well as in justice (cheers); that they should not stain the scaffold with the blood of their prisoners (cheers); that they should remem ber those prisoners whom they, call rebels were treated by them as warriors (cheers); that truces were made with them, agree ments made with them, . submissions re ceived from'them, and that they ought, not to do anything to render their cause, which is now triiimpbat, hateful as well as triumph ant, by spilling the ’ blood of those captives they have now in their -gpwer. (Loud cheers.) . The envoy of the Emperor of Mexico has been aided by King Leopold in securing restoration of the Emperor Maximilian’s •gnatic rights to the Austrian succession, and his efforts are said to have been crowned with success. The progress of the Russian arms in Cen tral Asia has just received a serious check. Hitherto everything has favored the progress of General Ehdokimoff, whose success were as much due to the exertions of Prince Gort schakoff as to the military talents of the gen erals of the Czar. Having made .iriends of the important population belonging to the Khanat of Khokan coiled Kafosaks, General Endokimoff carried his army of 40,000 or 50,000 infantry, with a proportionate force ot PRICE. 5 CENTS cavalry and artillery, into these districts of Central Asia, knowing well how far he could count upon this people. By this means, on the sida ol Lake Aral, the Russians, without striking a blow, obtained possession of the fortress of Ak-Medjid, a place of great stra tegic importance, near the mouth of the Sir Daria. Au agent of Juarez had arrived at Turin to enlist officers and men, who formerly served under Garibaldi, for the Juarist army in Mexico. It is stated tfiat the chiefs of the party of action had rejected the offers made Private telegrams irom Bombay announce the failure of a native banker with liabilities amounting to about half a million sterling. The suspension of some of the financial in stitutions at Bombay is atso reported. iFiom the New York World.] Probable Extinction of the Negro Race. We have already shown by statistics col lected . before the civil war began, and by reasonings on those statistics completed by the head of the census bureau before the Emancipation proclamation was published, that the negro population of the United States were likely to follow (theugh at a slower pace) in the same road by which our Indian tribes arc advancing to certain ex tinction. We are now to show that emanci • pation .will hasten this result. A part of our proof must still depend on the figures of the census report. Between year 185(» and 1860 the free negro population of our northern cities declined; and the total iuoreasp ol’ the whole tree negro population of the country was less th in half as great, in proportion, as the increase of the slaves; and this in spite of the fact that the free negroes were recruited by large numbers of manu mitted aud fugitive slaves. These facts prove that a slate of freedom checks the growth of the negro population. There was perhaps never a people so fa vorably situated for allowing the procreative principle its iullest vigor as were the negroes in a state of slavery. In a state of freedom many men do not marry at all, and many others defer marriage till a late period, from doubts of their ability to support, a family. Among the slaves, this prudential cheek had no place ; or, to express it in Malthnsian lan guage, population never pressed upon the means of subsistence. The slave population has. accordingly, multiplied without any in terposition ot the voluntary check. But even in this favorable condition, the increase of the slaves was less than two-thirds a* great, in proportion, as that of the white population of the country; the whiles in creasing 38 per cpnt., and the slaves a little more than 23 per cent. A part of thq dis parity is due to white imn igration; but the difference is much greater than immigration accounts for. i The chief-cause is, undoubtedly, the licen tious habits of the negroes. »Os the colored population, 36 1-4 per cent, are mul&tjoes. This progeny of sell-convicted licentiousness prove, by implication, the illegitimacy of at least an equal proportion of the pure blacks; for it is not to be supposed that the negresscs 'practice more virtue toward their own race than toward the whites. This licentiousness operates as an immediate check on popula tion by rendering the. females less prolific -, and as a remote, but more efficient check, by reason of the diminished tenacity ot exis tence of a mulatto stock. It has been shown by researches in tb<r West Indies, and con iflro’ sby the results of observation every- that inulattoes seldom propagate be yond the third generation ; and that, even in the first generation, they are more subject to disease, with a larger proportionate mortali ty, than pure-blooded negroes. While,' therefore, the southern slaves were more fa vorably situated for procreation tfian any other people that ever existed, their moral degradation wad a more powerful check than the difficulty of supporting a family, and consequent postponement of marriage, among our white population. / Now that ihe negroes are free, the check on their increase which has heretofore exist ed will be re inforced by the prudential check. The preference given by the employ ers of labor to the more energetic and capa ble white races, will keep the negro popu lation constantly’preasing upon the means of subsistence ; and this, the greatest and most certain of all checks to population, yyill be gin at once to act on the negroes with a force and steadiness unfelt by any other class 'of the people of the United States. When our population becomes dense, and, its rapid progress is arrested by the causes which op erate in old countries, the feeblest will * fill first; and the decaying remnants then left - of the negroes will easily succumb. What, we have described would take place, even if emancipation had been gradual and prepared for by wise precautions. But its suddenness, and the general destitution pre vailing in the South at the time it tnfces place, will terribly aggravate its evils and accelerate the steps by which the negroes axe doomed to extinction Perhaps one-third of the emancipated are children, incapable, un- • der any circumstances, of taking care of themselves. Thrown loose, without .pro tectors, in the very crisis of a destitution amounting in large sections, to dearth, they will be swept away by scores of thousands, their parents in many cases perishing with them. This work of destruction is already proceeding with great rapidity. The de- . rangement ot Southern industiy is so great that little will be raised this year, and the next year will also be a year of scarcity in the South. A people above all others un l fitted to struggle with difficulties, commence t heir life of'freedom in a state of absolute beggary, and in a community which has wasted' all its resources in a long war. A more unfavorable combination of circum stances cannot $e imagined. The figures of the next census may, therefore, be expected to tell a tearful tale of extermination. —James E. Yeatman, President of the Western branch of the United States Sanita ry Commission, writes to Gen. Howard from Sr. Louis, that he has received volunteer con tributions from the colored troops in and around that city, amounting to $7,000, to be i appropriated, to ‘he erection ol a monument, in Washington, iu honor of the late Presi dent Lincoln: Gen. Meade, after two years' command of the Army of the Potomac, baa issued his farewell order, and retired firpm that position,
