Gov. Johnson came over with Dr. French, e agent of the government in the depart »at of the Freedmen s Bureau. We learn at a considerable amount’ of business rails his consideration. Dr. French, the agent appointed to an lunce to Frcedmen and citizens the policy the government under the emancipation ilicy, addressed by appointment a large imber of both black and white from c eusfc-n steps of the Capitol. I sup >se 2,000 negroes were present, and some ro hundred citizens. Hetc, as elsewhere I ive been* the ncgroe3 are represented to bo le, nigratory, unreliable. The chance for ipport of the population of the country ould be precarious, were it not that rail ad communication exists. Whatever may have been my opinion of her efforts ot Dr. French, I have no doubt i the wot id, that this effort in Milledgeville ill do good. The negroes will believe him lie doctor) to be a genuine agent of tbo overnment; the place selected for the ad rcss (the capital) added solemnity to the cession, and the presence of the governor nd other distinguished citizens, together dth an escort of soldiers, could leave no oubt on the minds of the black auditors hat the words of Dr. French were words of ruth, addressed to them by the government (self, through its appointed 1 agent. The litizens generally expressed themselves sal-- shed, and the more intelligent among the legrues satisfied also. Sextons Encounter In Alabama. We understand from indisputable authority Uat Mr. Pat Page, well fcjtown in this city is a lawyer, planter, and gentleman, and his irother, H K. Page, were both seriously, It lot fatally, wounded in a rencountre with ft nan by tlic name of Allen, and his son, of Parland, Conecuh county, on the 3d inst. The circumstances seem to be about as fol lows ; Allen bought, some time ftgo, a lot of cotton from Mr. Pat Page, for which he agreed to pay a certain stipulated price in Confederate money. The cotton was deliv ered on the word of Mr. Allen, but the money was never paid. Mr. Page, in mak ing reclamation on Mr. Allen for the money due him, demanded either an equivalent or a return of the cotton. Both were refused, and Allen ofiered in lieu to pay him in Con federate money, which is valueless. Mr. Page, of course, declined receiving it, and words led on to blows. Mr. Page was badly beaten in the first rencontfe, which was with out weapons. On returning with hfs brother, the qmurelr was again renewed, and during the melee Mr. Page was shot through the left breast, it is supposed fatally, and his brother, HK. Page, late lieutenant ,in the 18tb Ala abama, ‘Johnson’s army, shot through the abdomen—the wound also pronounced fatal. We await farther intelligence before com menting further on this outrage —Moljite News. -i t ; Use op Opium in the United States.—A ' writer in the New York Journal of Com merce has been making some investigations into the annual imports of opium into the United States since 1840. He says that: “While $40,874 paid the foreign cost of all the opium imported at the ports of the Uni ted States in JB4O, it took $952,887 to pay cost in ihe year ending June 3.0, 1862, an increase trom forty thousand to nearly one million of dollars in leaa than twenty-five years. “Os the large sum last mentioned, 30,482 pounds, valued at $96,174, were landed at Boston; 163,055 pounds, valued at $654,433, St New York ; while the value of $231,679, mostly “prepared’ opium, was landed on the Pacific, chiefly for the use of the Chlnose in California. It is irue that the medical business connected with the army is respon sible fora portion ot this increase, since the war began; but the statistic show a very heavy consumption of opium previous to the war—the imports for the year ending June 30,J18Cn. averaging over one hundred and twenty thousand pounds per anpum. This is an enormous amount for the 'consumption of this country, and shows that a large num ber of people must use the drug store habitue ally, in some forpi, for the giatldcation of their cravings for a stimulant.. There may fie less disgrace connected with its use, but the effects, mental and physical, are far more in jurious than those which follow the abuse of alcoholic drinks, while the habit ia much less easily cured or restrtlned.” Tub Wars of Politicians. —Judge William D. Kelley, of Philadelphia, and'Simon Cam eron are jrt open war with each other. Kelley has recently written one of the most violent letters we have seen for years against Cam eron, whom he calls all manner of hard names. The war between Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley has broken out afresh.— Weed has published a long Tetter, in which he shows himself to be the most expert pugilist, but Greeley has replied and makes some hard hits. * Weed aays: I am frequently a-kedTf my quarrel with Mr. Greeley cannot be made up ? My an swer is, “uo.” . Rut. I invariably add'that this need not disturb others, or the party, inasmuch that I never bring our differences into public View unless forced to do so by unprovoked and wanton assaults from the Tribune. I was cruelly deceived in Mr. Greeley’s character. I thought him truthtdl, patriotic, unselfish. 1 find him ambitious, selfish aud false. In Greeley’s rejoinder we find the follow ing passage, which, wc think, contains much truth: * * * I firmly believe that if the North had been great enough, wise enough, to say to the South, just alter Mr. Lincoln’s elec tion "‘You mast decide this question for yourselves. We will Hot buy you, nor brff* you, nor hire you, whether with money or with serviUtv, to stay with us; we deny the pretended constitutional legal right of se cession; but we affirm the right of revolu tion—the right of each people to be govern ed as they see fit. Choose, theD, once, once and forever, whether to remain with us or leave us, and as you choose it shall be, ’’—we should have insured the defeat and downfall of the conspirators for disunion. We cer tainly beat them as it was in the aggregate popular Vote ot the slave States for and against secession in that memorable winter of 1860-61, after Lincoln's election; bat thoussnds voted wj»h the disunionists to in dicate their defiance of Northern coercion, and tens of thousands more hoping and ex pecting to force or terrify us info compro mise. Hod we promptly and frankly quieted these, by offering lo.leave the whole matter of disunion to a fair, unconstrained, popular vote of the Southern States, after mutual ex planations and ample discussion, I think we should have saved the Union without blood shed. It is singular that during the car'y part of the war, -Weed was a conservative, while Greeley was a radical war tunn, and in the latter part ot the war they changed sides, Greeley becoming conservative and Weed radical. A Bold Romokrv—Murder Attempted.— Wc have been made acquainted with the facta in the case of a very daring robbery, and a most diabolical attempt at the murdir of Mr. L. Fullilove of-Blnuntsville,- Jones county, on Thursday last, bj' a party of ruf fians, who went to bis place of business and attempted to raise a difficulty, which tailing to accomplish, they fell upon Mr. Fullilove who was entirely unarmed, and inflicted several stabs and blows, which came near proving fatal to Mm. Failing to effect their object at robbery, on account of the inter ference of other parties, the ruffians waited until night, when they entered the store ot Mr. L. and Helped'tfiSffiSeTveS to whatever they liked of its contents. We learn that tfee parties committing this outrageous assault upon a peaceful and unoffending citizen, to be Confederate soldiei s, acting under a commission from the Federal au thorities at Macon —the absurdity of which pretext will at once be perceived We have known Mr. Fullilove for some time—first when be did business in Atlanta, anil more recently while connected with the firm of Freeman, Inman & Cos., of this city. We know him to be a peaceful, honorable and upright citizen. We nndeistand that the parties who committed this offence against law and order are all known, and we trust that steps will at once be taken to bring them to just punishment.— Mncnn Tele graph. The Unbridled Luxury of Paris is the sub ject chosen by a correspondent in that city, who writes as follows: M. Dupin, an old aud eminent advocate of Paris, and a member of the French Senate, is so impressed with the dangers which threaten the gay metropolis, and through it ,tha French nation, that he appeared in a secret meeting of a Committee of the French Senate, with aTull exposition of the dangers Which now menace society in France, and has since published the substance of hls speech in the form of a pamphlet. Though it bears from its title —(Le Ltue Effime ties Femmes; “The Unbridled Luxury ot Wo men”) —chiefly upon the excesses of one sex, It discloses the terrible disorders which affect all classes, and both sexes. Women are first corrupted, and then they become corrupters. The taint spreads into the ranks of society where u good" name i» at fit preserved, and the manners and the dress of fallen women have bean imitated in Paris by those who retained a reputation for virtue. But virtue, by this base copying of vice, becomes less esteemed daily, and indifference to evil is be coming the prevailing tone of French socletj'. What the end mual be* is evident. Disso luteness of morals among the higher classes prepares jfor the revolutions which sweep these classes into destruction, and gives op portunity to the cruel and vile to revel in blood. M. Dupin foresees the storm, and points out its grpwing bigness and blackness. Will the giddy multitude hear and heed ? The Governors and the New Enoi-and Fair — Gov. Bmyth of New Hampshire has invited the Governors of all the other New England States, with their respective suites, to be present as his guests at the New Eng land Fair, which will he held in Concord next week. Three of these invited dignita ries have already accepted the invitation ex tended them, aftd K is very probable that the other two will lie present. The newly ap pointed Staff officers of Gov. Smyth of New Hampshire will appear in public i*r the first time. They •will come out mounted and in their new uniforms, and will do escort duty for their Commander-in-Chief and for his dist ingulshed official guests from abroad.

A Novel Case In Court.4| The people of Buffalo hare been enter tained with a trial which has severely tested the claims of spritualism. One of the most eminent of the “ mediums,” a certain Charles J. Colchester, has been required to take out license as a juggler, and make contribution in that capacity to the Internal Revenue of the United States. On his part, Mr. Col chester indignantly 'repudiates the appella tion. Spiritualism is not*ooly his business, I but bis “religion and the United States in | making him pay fi>) its dissemination is en croaching upon the liberty of conscience! | To refuse his claim to supernatural agency in the performance of his wonders, the United States Attorney has summoned various pres tidigitateurs, jugglers, sorcerers, magicians, necromancers, and other professors of the black art, amoqg whom are Anderson, Mac allister, \he Fakir of Ava, and Karl Kehr, as experts, to testify whether the things are done by jugglery or sleiglft of hand. On the other hand, we are told that there is a simi lar gathering of spiritualists, who regard their profession and right of belief at stake, and who feel that they will derive beifefit from the trial in any event, for it their apos tle is acquitted, their spiritual agency is ac knowledged, and if convicted, the pecuniar}' bleeding of him will be the martyr seed of their church. Mr. Colchester’s performance* according to the evidence, seem, for the most part, to have consisted in the nnswering of sealed qnestions, and the writing of names by some mysterious process upon the arms of his visitors. The evidence was not so favoura ble to ids pretensions, as it was proved on several occasions the statements of the spir its were untrue and their protections nnful ‘fllled. The telegraphic dispatch of yester day shows that the case' has gone against him, and that he has appealed. The claims of spiritualism bid fair to be thoroughly tes ted by the time that this celebrated case shall he ended. ’ Some onp compares the trial to that before Pharaoh when magicians of Egypt by their enchantments sought to duplicate the mira cles f.nd plagues of Moses. To out mind, if Colchester succeeds in his defence, and is acquitted on the plea that spiritualism is’not juggieVy, and that the United States govern ment has no more right to require him to take out a license to practice his religion than it has to impose the same conditions upon Presbyterian or Roman Catholic, and especially, that it has no right to force him to acknowledge his religion all humbug and deception by obliging him to accept and pay lor a license ns a foggier; then it seems to us that he will have proved his profession to be jugglery, in actually juggling the 'United States. — Augusta Transcript. A Piece Impertinence. —We are informed that on Tuesday evening, the 15th instant, a number of Hauls in this city held a somewhat exclusive celebration of the birthday of Na poleon 1., at which the Mexican question was liberally discussed with their eau <ie vie. The tenor of their remarks, w.» understand, was that the United States dare not touch a hair of the imperial head of Maximilian— that fifty thousand French soldiers undca Marshal Bazaine were a sufficient guaranty against nuy impertinence from Washington, and that the said fifty thousand would quick- , ly dispose of the entire Yankee military es- ( tablishinent —and much more of the same , gasconade. Now, if these gentlemen were drunk, or if they were ail daucing masters, the remarks which we have to make do not apply to them. If they were sober, and otherwise capable of comprehending the national ques tion, we would observe that, in the same proportion their words become noised abroad, are they insuring for their Austrian protege, «s well as French master, a most unpleasant experience. President Johnson has not enjoyed a moment’s repose since ho entered the White House, so great has been the pressure upon him ftom the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the army and from the citizens, to incontinently pitch all the foreign legions out of Mexico, in advance of the meeting of Congress, in whose hands constitutionally rests the sole power to declare war.
