THOMPSON AuorUlt F..1110,. ckspav. dkemblk ». iw For Commercial Intelligence »ee Fourth Page The painful apprehensions excited by the recent action of the radic.il majority in Congress will be relieved to some extent by the gratifying intelligence from Washington, which will be found under our telegraphic head this morning. We expressed the hope a few days since that when the action ot our Slate Legisla ture, with the truly patriotic, dignified and st ales man-like inaugural address ol Governor Jeukiua reached the President, his confi dence in the loyalty and good faith of our people would be confirmed and re-assured, and that a more confiding and trustful poli cy would be pursued towards us. In thia hope, so far as the President and Secretary Seward are concerned, we have not been dis appointed. Not only has the Provisional Governor been relieved, but the Governor of the people has received assurrances of the co-operation and support of the General Government whenever it may become neces sary for the protection and advance ment of the Civil Government of the State. It is gratifying, too, to learn that General Grant bears frank testi mony to the good faith of the people of the South, and that he regards the presence of a military force in our midst as unnecessary to insure peace and order. Testimony such as his, based on his own personal observation, ' will, not only in the estimation of the Presi dent, but in the minds ol all lair judging men at the North, weigh down the volumes of mis representation which has been so industri ously circulated in the columns of many lead ing northern journals to our prejudice. Gen. Grant's just opinion of the people of the South lias not been won by flattery and by pocricy. Whilst ou bis recent visit in our section, he saw no evidences of self abase ment or mean servility, which would neither have inspired his respect nor justified his confidence; but as a true observer and appre ciatin' of character, he saw enough of us to convince him that a people so consistent and true to themselves, might be relied on as being trim to their pledges. He has no doubt realized the truth of the sentiment so well expressed by Gov. Jenkins “that valci and truth are twine sisters, born of magnani* mity, whose womb never did nor ever will conceive treachery.” May we not hope as passion subsides and prejudice yields to reason, his patriotic convictions may be shared by those in whose hands rest the des tiny of our once happy now. distracted coun try. RADICALISM TRIUMPHANT. M e learn from a Washington dispatch in the New York World that the Republicans in the House of Representatives, passed, on the 14th instant, under the operation of the previous question, the dismembered part of the Stevens joint, resolution for a committee of fifteen, which had been rejected by the Senate and likewise stricken out by the House. It is btuted that they first watted for the committee to be appointed, and then presented a resolution requiring that all pa- pers which may be offered relative to the representation of the Southern States shall be referred to the joint committee without debate, and that uo member shall be admit ted from either of said States unless Con gress shall declare such States, or either of them, entitled to representation. Several Republican members, animated by a con servative spirit, essayed to check this extra ordinary movement, but debate was not per mitted,and they were unceremoniously thrust aside by a vote of one hundred and seven for to fifty-six against the proposition. The ob ject ol the radicals, though thwarted for a few days by the independent action of the Senate, was thus full? accomplished. Among the Republicans who voted against it was Mr. Raymond, the distinguished editor oi the New York Times. This violent and unparliamentary manifes tation of the drift of legislative action at Washington makes it nearly certain to our mind that the Southern members will not be admitted to their seats during the existence of the present Congress. The exclusion of our members from the organization disclosed the malignant pur pose of the dominant faction to force them to sue lor admission in a body which is organized, and vested with Consti tutional power to judge of the elections, re turns and qualifications of its members, not withstanding it is a clear case in logic, and from the history of the Constitution, 'hat the power to judge of election, returns and quali fications, does not include ttie power to pro nouuce on the political right of a State to be represented. But that will not prevent the assumption of the power, as something made necessary by events beyond tbe Constitution, nor, we fear, prpvent its effect in keeping the Southern Slates from sitting in the House of Representatives, until Congress shall nave made its laws and signified the new terms on which it will consent to receive the Southern representatives. This, with other impending violations of the Constitution, shows clearly that the im patient inclination of the extreme wing of the Republicans towards centralization be come more apparent from day to day, and precedents are thus being established that are giving a dangerous excess of authority to the national Congress, and are accomplish ing a hasty rovohitiou in our political iyg . tern. As predicted by a Southern contemporary, the will of a majority, in contempt 0 f the Constitution, will have the effect of |» w i u accomplishing the exclusion in fart, w , tll the judgment before them, already signified by the incident to which we have adverted it will be vaiu for the South to p| Ult d Constitution nr Itpiial that shu has any rights under It.

Although the Stott 4rUt, apart trow the war debt which has or will be repudiated, has not been materially increased since the com- mencement of the war, the wealth and ahti- Uy of the State has been fearfully diminished. Its assets have netrly all been swept by the wsr, and the railroads in which the State is largely interested are in danger, says the Richmond Times, of being rendered utterly : worthless, unless the gripe of the Board ol j Public Works upon their throats are released | l»y the speedy action of the Legislature. In this perplexing dilemma, when the law makers of Virginia are disposed to try every experiment which promises the slightest hope of revenue, the oyster fundurn question has been sprung for the hundreth time, as a prop to the credit of the State. It is stated that the ordinary subjects for taxation are a! ready crushed by city, Slate, and Federal taxes piled upon them like Pilion upon Ossa : which renders it absolutely necessary, says Governor Pierpont, in his Message, that the most placid and delicious of shell fish shall bear a fair proportion of the onerous burden of taxation. The recommendation is rendered more attractive by the fact that it will be paid mainly by those who are per petually harrowing the oyster rocks on the Virginia coasts for the benefit of those Nor thern who greatly abound in green-backs, and claim to have thriven upon taxation and war. It will be recollected that the proposition to impose fin export or fnndum tax npon this delicious bivalve was made by Gover nor Wi3e in the year 18.18, and like many other conceptions of his vigorous and eccen tric mind, excited much humorous comment by the press throughout the country; and but tor the terrible “dredgiug” to which the champions of cheap and nntaxed oysters subjected the leader of the oyster fuudum party in Virginia, it was believed the recom mendations of his Excellency would have re sulted in judicious legislation, which, but for the war, might have resulted in good fruits. The Times favors the proposition, and says that the Legislature should give to the for mer earnest convictions of Governor Wise and of the present Governor favorable con sideration. It thinks that the time for bold and desperate experiments has at last ar rived. [COIiMUNICATKIV. ] To the Hditors of the Saeamah Herald .- Sir— Applications being occasionally made to me for information touching the papers that come to me as Sequestration Receiver, I ask to state for the benefit of your readers, that I delivered in June last to the Provost Marshal, of Gen.

It is now stated that the appointment has been formally accepted, and that, in antici pation of an early departure on liis delicate and somewhat doubtful mission, a confiden tial interview has actually transpired between the new dipiomatc and our Secretary of State. | rsuite- It would seem also that some of the in structions witli which lie was charged by Mr. Seward have been revealed to the public. The New York Times of the lith instant, contains a Washington despatch to the effect that General Logan, immediately Jipoa com municating with the Republican Govern ment of Mexico, will propose a commercial treaty betweeu the United States and the -Republic"ot Mexico, which shall secure to American citizens important rights and privileges upon the great lines of transit, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Coast, and such an extension of the tree list as will greatly extend the Mexican market for American manufactures; and in exchange for these privileges, which may be secured by military interposition, if necessary, the United States to loan twenty millions of dollars, or guarantee Mexican bonds to that amount in behalf of the Mexican Republic. If General Logan, whose individual senti ments and feelings are known to be excessively inimical to the Government oi Maximilian, is, iudeed, thus authorized to commit our Government to the belligerent policy indi cated in this despatch, which we very much doubt, war between the two countries, with France as the ally of the Emperor, will ite inevitable. Tlte system of misrepresentation so studi ously concocted by many of the Northern press, to mislead the public mind in regard to afl'aikß in Mexico, has had the effect* doubtless, to intensify the war fever which seems to ite generally prevalent in that section of tlte Union. A pretext for hostilities is what they seem to desire, and they are rash enough to plunge the country into war upon the manufactured impres sion that Mexico, owing to internecine dis turbances, is powerless aud therefore not to be dreaded. In order that onr readers may not be mis led us to tire real condition of affairs in Mexico, we subjoin the following exttact from a letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer, written in the city of Mexico, and dated Nov. I'd.: “The empire is consolidating itself and fas-' toning itself ou the affections of the people daily. Tlte late ministerial change is for the better. Wherever the empire has made it self known by its military and civil officers, there it is welcomed, and there it sticks— You are told of this or that State, which has not yet submitted. That is true in ref erence to several, but no effort has yet been made to reach them. There are not thirty thousand foreigu troops in the whole realm, and they can t be scattered everywhese. But more territory to-day acknowledges Maxi milian, more States and seaports pay tribute lo his treasury, than ever acknowledged a President or Dictator before ! He is devel oping the country and encouraging the arts of peace and husbandry more than has been done in ali the past history of Mexico. And yet some of our people, mostly, I suppose, turbulent New Englatjdcrs, and men whose occupation is goue with the melting away of the late aimies, talk of ‘driving Maximilian out.” Tlic Savannati ami Florida Steamer*. The Florida papers, as well as the travel ing public, are complaining, and we think justly, of the present high charges for pas sage and freight betweeu this city and Jack sonville, Fla. In view of this fact, we com mend to tlie attention of the agents of the boats, plying between this city aud the Flori da ports, the following article takeu from the Tallahassee (Fla.) Sentinel, which is preg nant with suggestion that some action ou their part is ready necessary to silence well founded complaint slid present injury to themselves and the commercial interests o* Savannah. We have been informed that the cost of transportation and freight between Charles ton and Jacksonville, is thirty per cent, cheaper than it is between this city and the latter place. Whether this is true or not, the present high rates are suicidal to both private and public interests: “We are glad to see that the Jacksonville papers, are waking up to the interests of that place, and ‘pitching into’ the Steam boat and Railroad Lines, in good earnest— especially the steamers between Savannah and Jacksonville, which charge fifteen dol lars tor carrying passengers but little more than 150 miles. Up to the Spring of 18TJ, the fare was but six dollars, and high enough at that. Fare from this place to Savannah, by way ol Jacksonville, is now twenty-seven dollars and a half, not including hotel bills in Jacksonville where passengers may he detained a day or two. When the Gull Rail road is agaru in operation, as it will be in a few days, travelers can go from here to Savannah by rail in .twenty-four hours, for fifteeu or eighteen dollars. As four-fifths of the people of Florida reside west of Lake City or the Suwannee river, it is altogether probable that under existing arrangements, they will prefer to turn off at Monticello or Madison, and save time and money by keep mg the Hitilioad to Savannah. So, if Jack sonville desires to bold on'to the travel she lias monopolized during the past six mouths, her citizens ought to be exerting themselves speedily, to straighleu things out. A word to the wise, Ac. The remarks ol the Sentinel arc not more significant of the state of public feeling in Florida in regard to this matter than thoae continued in the subjoined extract Horn tbe Jacksonville Times, of recent date : “H is with peouliar gratification that we call iltleution to the extensive Wholesale Dry Gooffs House just opened in our city by Dr. Iliirtr'ulgc. ft has been a serious lujuiy to our place that merchant* and Imafiirad men from tho interior have been compelled frequently to go to Havnuuub to buy limlr slocks, and preferred doing so, imd paying Uni euoiiunus freight Irnm llienee rather iimn attempt In buy In 10 Willi Hitt Im iliilcs and tlMlllc. 1111 Ills oil.-led fly Dr. 11 ull tidy <• 4 advertisement in our I'olumus to day, it will be si .II lllal staple dry food* AM be pto 1 baaed line now at lower prices rfinn iu Na tanimh ibis yn.umi.4ll having duteriiiiin..l in sell ala mill.nio per caul above Nnw tmk cost, and dial per cent so low lion im 1. 1. . mis can buy nl him al leas Ilian 11 ,• *'#*t "I If.
