LARGEST CIRCULATION II THE CITY AID COUNTY THURSDAY FEBRUARY 8, 1866. SOUTHERN AGRICULTURE. We have observed with iuterest the in tense solicitnde manifested in all parts of the world rc-pecting the present condition of agricultural affairs in the Southern States. It may be regarded as an unmistakable indi cation of the great comm ercial value cf the peculiar products of one soil. The immediate future of the cotton grow ing interest is the subject which deservedly attracts special attention, and it is generally agreed that the prices of this article must ad vance, and very materially, between this time and the gathering ot the crop of 18C6. The old stock of cotton is well nigh ex hausted, and that which remains to be brought in is for the nost part of inferior grades. The crop of I8G5 waa very small— the war closed too late in the season for the planters to change their plan of operations ; aulby the first of May it seems probable I hat the entire stock of desirable cotton will have found its way to market. Such is the com petition caused by the foreign demand that the higher classifications are not now to be bought, save by those who are sharp, enter prising, and well acquainted with the mar ket. Toe shrewdest dealers In the fleecy staple are now actiBg upon the belief that it will go to seventy-five or eighty cents per pound between this time and the first of August next. The hope isgeneially expressed that by another year producers will be better able to comprehend the situation, and to ad apt themseves to it, and be better supplied with the means of applying the industrial resources of the South. It must be admitted that a few months since the agricultural prospects of the South were gloomy enough; but, in our further observation, several facts of an encouraging nature have been developed. Extensive dis tricts have been found where the toich of contending armies has never been lighted, where the planter's dwelling honses, gin- houses and negro quarters stand as of old, greatly out of repair, to be sure, but still fit enough for absolute wants; where planta tions are still fenced in and a considerable portion of the neeessary farming stock yet exists. In this category we may refer to southwestern Georgia, extensive districts in southern, central, and western Alabama, eastern sections of central Mississippi, some portions of Louisiana, and the whole of Texas and Florida. It is true that in some localities satisfactory arrangements have not vet been made be tween the planters and the freedmen, owing to the fact that many of the former have not the means to pay wages and all outgoings for a year before next season's crop can be gathered in, and from the absence of all the credit and facilities which existed anterior to the war. But despite all these difficulties tho high prices of cotton will certainly lead to such an accommodation of the conflicting views of tho planters and negroes as will secure the planting of an extensive area. Tuo marked improvement in tho conduct of the latter since the commencement of the new year warranto the belief that they are not incapable of conducting themselves in their new con dition with propriety and good order if the white race promotes their improvement and welfare by all the influence they can bring to bear upon them. Whilst many of them have for a time mistaken liberty from bondage as liberty from work, it has only been for a lime, and the great mass of them, it appears, are now returning to their old pursuits, and exhibiting a degree of prosperity, steadiness and good sense which no one could have anticipated. In acting thua they have shown not only good seuse, but good feeling, and manifest the praiseworthy desire to live in peace and harmony with the white race. In this connection we would direct atten tion to the fact that they are not responsible for the change of relation to their former mas ters ; that they have not taken up arms to procure their freedom ; that whilst the pro cess was going on, inaugurated by our own secession, tuey remained passive, loyal, obedient; and therefore do not merit from us exhibitions of prejudice or rancor on ac count of that which they bad no agency whatever in producing. There are many considerations that ad monish both races to the cultivation ot mu tual good ieeling and the practice of indus. try—such as the well known fact that the de mand for cotton is rapidly increasing from day to day and that markets for the fabrics of which it is made are beiDg constantly de veloped in all parts of the world. It is known, too, that notwithstanding the war cut off the best supply, and all kinds of In genuity and bounties were engaged in re leasing Europe from a dependency on this country they have all failed. It is now settled that the cotton bell of the world is confined to these Slates and that its product will al ways drive from the marts every competi tor. Nor is there even a possibility that, if ail the industry were put to task, there would be any material diminntion of prices or profit, taking the present value of things as calculated through greenbacks. If our promises are correct the deduction certainly follows that it is the duty ol every man iu the South, white and black, to make us as much cotton as be can. T11E LEADER OF THE RADICALS. Tbaddeus Stevens has earned for himself in history an unenviable reputation. His name will go down to posterity astbe embodiment of faction in its most fanatical shape—as the impersonation of political acerbity—as the libeller who shows no courtesy to political opponents, and no veneration towards men who have been held in reverence for their wisdom and public services. EE|'. stands alone in the annals of parliamentMi$ debate as the libeller of the Head of the Executive Government, between whom and its legisla tive departments terms of mutual respect have become traditional. There is no parallel in the history of the proceedings of Congress since the establish ment of the Government to the vituperative language of Mr. Stevens towards the Presi dent during the speech he made on the 31st ult., on the passage ol the amendment to the Constitution with regard to the basis of rep resentation. There is no parallel in fact, in the most, intemperate periods of our political warfare, when party spirit ran high aud lan guage the mostenvenomed was employed, to the coarseness of the terms which Mr SteveDS has introduced into debate. We doubt whether a parallel can be found to it anywhere in legislative history. He has not ouiy proved himself the Thersites of the House, but bas emulated the fish women of Paris, who used to abuse the Queen of Fraoce at the outset of the French revolution. Mr. Stevens, with admirable taste on that oc casion, denominated the President **a learned pundit ” and “ the man at the other end of the avenue." He affirmed, in relation to the ef forts of the President to reconstruct the Union fas report says) “ that for tuck con duct a feu years ago ( we presume he means two centuries since) a British king would have lost hie head." This language must have excited the disgust of all those who had been con versant with the courtesies of debate and those forms of speech which indicate mutual respect between the legislative SDd executive branches of the Government. But this was not all. If the language of the speaker is the only excuse for the absence ot that in stinctive regard to what belongs to the gen tleman of ordinary refinement, what shal 1 we say to the terms of vindictive scorn in which he spoke of the framers of the Con solution? He found fault, as report says, with the “ botched work turned out by the fathers who framed that instrument." Now wheu one recalls to mind that such men as George Washington, Alexander Hamilton James Madison, Eltnund Randolph were engaged in this work—were the “ botchers of this instrument which bas been regarded in all parts of the civilized earth as a moou ment of human wisdom—one cannot but feei that the vulgar cant and abjurgation which has come to be the distinguishing character istic of Tbaddeus Stevens has surpassed itself in this instance and become positive irreverence and impiety to the fathers of the republic.

Senator Dixon, from tho Committee on Post Office and Post Roads, succeeded on Friday last in getting tho passage of tho bill for providing the southern pout offices -with stamps. Sumner took this opportu nity for uttering ono of thoso solemn warnings to the Cabinet Ministers that they must not transgress the laws of Congress, and particularly must Postmaster General Dennison look to it that he avoided the erring path, of the Secretary of the Treasury. This fSmin.. adjuration, says the correspondent of the New York lleraid, was utterod in the usual style of the “Hub’s" Senator, and quite Impressed the colored brethren In the galleries, who opined that somebody was being called to a stem accountability for not conceding their pre-eminence. Senator Wilson in this connec tion waa desirous of exercising charity, and was of the firm opinion that if the Postmaster General had conferred office upon former rebels it waa a blind de parture from duty, which he would gladly retrace. Before the paasago of the bill Senator Cowan adminis tered a stinging rebnke to 8nmnor for the disposition to cast odium and the stigma of disloyalty upon the heads of the governmental departments.

Guarantees of a Republican Form of Government. On the 2d lust., In the Senate, Mr. Sumner (Rep.) Introduced the following joint resolution for carrying out the guarantees of a republican form of govern ment in the Constitution of the United States, and en forcing the constituUonal amendment for the prohibi tion of slavery. Whereas, It is provided in the Constitution that the United States shall guarantee to every State in the Union a republican form of government; and whereas, by reason of the failure of certain States to maintain governments which Congress can recognize, it has be come ihe duty of the United States, standing in the place of “guarantor," where the principal has made a lapse, to secure to such States, according to the re quirement ot the guarantees, governments republican in form; and whereas, further, it is provided in a re cent constitutional amendment that Congress may en force the prohibition of slavery by appropriate legis lation, and it is importont to this end that all relics of slavery should be removed, ineluding sU distinction of rights on account of color; now, therefore, to carry oht the guarantee of a republican torn of government, and to enforce the prohibition of slavery, Be it resolved, by the Senate and House of Repre sentative*, That in all the States lately declared to be in rebellion there shall be no oligarchy, aristocracy, caste or monopoly invested with peculiar privileges and powers, and tbsre shall be no denial of rights, civil or political, on account of color or race; but all persona shall be equal before the law, whether In the courtroom or at the ballot box; and tbit statute, in pursuance of the Constitution, shall be the supreme law of the land, anything In the Constitution or laws of any such State to the contrary notwithstanding. The preamble and resolution were laid on the table and ordered to be printed. Mr. Sumner gave notfoe that ha ehould more this joint resolution at a counter proposition to the consti tution amendment passed by the House. Foreign News. The steamship Africa which arrived at Halifax on the let Inst., with Queenstown dates of 21st, brought the following news : nance.

Like the Arabians, the nomadic people of his tribe form the strangest aud most In violable attachments to their unexcelled horse*.— They make their favorite coursers ihelr special com panions, and train them to be very fleet and Intelli gent. This Circassian, daring one of his wandering tours, became very needy, and soon found eager pro- josers for the purchase of his splendid horse. At ast he consented to part with lilm. He was brought before the purchaser, and there ensued a scene that has been used as a subject of a poet’s pen. At a sig nal from him, the horse, “ With flowing tall and living mane, Wlihnostrilivnever stretched by pain. Mouth bloodless to the bit or rein ; And feet that Iron never shod, And fianka unscarred by spur or rod, Tiie lioandlng horse—the wild, the free— Like wave that dashes on the sea, Came proudly thundering on.” There stood the noble horse, the admiration of every beholder. No steed of the Tartar, or Ukraine or Arab breed could be more beautifully formed.— Never did Landseer or Rosa Bouheur see or imagine - more perfect animal.
