IMA. Mr. Owens’ Report— We publish in another column the able report of Hod. Geo. S. Owens, chairman of the Senate Commit tee oa Internal Improvements, in opposition to the bill recently passed by the House of Representatives to limit the rates of freights and passage on the railroads of the State. Thu argument of Mr. Owens is conclusive against the proposed restriction, which, as reported by telegraph, was defeated in the Senate on Monday, the report of our Senator no doubt contributing powerfully to that re suit. mtofite the pretest year.

That the solution of the great financial question which engages so much of the pub lic attention depends mainly upon the soc- ceetful production of cotton In the Southern Stales, is a fact now generally recognized in all parts of this country. Few financiers be lieve that the national debt can be paid, or thts nniional credit maintained, unless our cotton fields are again reworked for a sup ply of lhe staple which has been, and may now bo again, our chief medium of excbaDg® with foreign nations. Dur'mg the progress of the late war, and for a few months after its termination, it was suggested, indeed, and poriitips by some sanguine and credu lous persons believed, that the gold and sil ver mines of the West would totally super sede cotton as our foreign exchange. This theory 1ms been abandoned as a vain expect ation, nud our cotton fields are regarded once more as our richest mines; that cotton is specie and to it chiefly will the country be indebted for the resumption of specie pay ments. A few months since it was believed that wo were on the eve of the greatest cot ton famine that has ever occurred. This impression was owiog in part to the political uncertainties which succeeded the advent of peace. Capi'al and enterprise hesitated to undeitake iu planting ou a large scale while the relations of the planting States to the Union remain unsettled, an 1 also while the condition of the Southern laboring class remains a subject of political agitation. Notwithstanding the still unsettled condi tion of political affairs in the South, evidence appears to be accumulating that a better crop of cot ton is likely to be made the com ing srasou. than has hitherto been expected; the ertreme price for the great staple baviDg Lad the effect, despite unfavorable circum stances, to make the people of the South generally enter upou its culture to make what they can. As the one article which promises quick remuneration and large re turns, the supply of pressing wants with every class depending almost entirely on that alone, it is plain that our people are at last waking up; that they are emerging rap idly from that stunning lethnrgy which for mom ha Alter the conflict ceased prevented them from knowing what to take hold of first, or what way to turn. Reports from many quarters indicate largo andaclire preparations among the planters, which warrant the expectation that, with favorable seasons, a large, if not a full crop wi i be raised. It. is known, too, that in many parts of the country cottou farms are renting at higher rates than were ever before known ; that all wbo can be coaxed into the culture by every inducement, are being de voted to it. These are encouraging facts and cannot but tell strongly upon results. I' is stated also by a northern paper well ported in commercial matters, that better expectations have been manifested bjJkose who have sent out agents from the Nomi, as accounts are scut back of what is doing. Necessarily nervous in the outset, as they were compelled to consider where some of the heaviest establishments in the country were to look for supplies of the fleecy staple, au improved tone is being exhibited, and tcey now talk with not n little confidence, of a c rop the coming season almost if not quite equal to that of 18C0. All this is unques tionably ac encouraging sign of a better fiusbc;3i future for the South, but it should net lead us to the erroneous conclusion that the crisis is entirely passed. There are yet large sections of the cotton growing region in which the adjustment of the labor ques tion between the planters and the freedmen lia3 not been consummated. Those who have heretofore welided the hoe and held the plow under compulsion have thus far resisted the moit urgent appeals and the most liberal inducements to resume their accustomed occupa'ions. The matter of labor in those localities has, in consequence, become a vital and important one. The negroes being free and under no compulsion, and indisposed to work, the question arises, bow are the fields to be cultivated, how are the crops, upon which the national prosperity of the whole country depends, to be raised ? Either some system must be introduced by which the negro will be induced to take up the “ shovel and the boo," or some other plan must be substituted therefor. Labor must be bad; whether it shall be white or black is now the question. If the negroes will not work the planteis mast take prompt steps fur procur ing other kinds of labor. The time for trifling with our labor system has passed ; that for stern, energetic and sensible action h.is arrived. If this important question could be settled to the satisfaction of both races aDd the po litical troubles of the country banished for ever by an immediate and cordial reunion of all the States, the nation might congratulate itself that if its present financial difficulties can be tided over for one more season, there will be little to render even the most timid uneasy after that- Although entertaining the views we have here expressed in regard to the improved prospects for the culture of cotton, we do not subscribe to the fallacious idea enter tained in certain quarters that three or four millions of bales may be confidently antici pated as the crop of 18CC. Nor do we be lieve that the realization of so extravagant a prediction would advance the best interests of tiie southern people. The peculiar con dition in which they have been placed by the ravages of war is suggestive of other coo- si derations of equal importance, which have been well presented by a cotemporary in the subjoined article: mercy of the market. They * realize »* the erllmt d*y. md to--- .. . . pressing influences of crop made. On the otter bend, tftte provide M ter W possible for their general «nU, they can hold their cotton until mirtakee are oorrected and price conform* to demand ana supply. It i. not improbable that a million bale, would bring., much, or nearly at much, money to the planters as three times that number, and why, then, should there be an over-weening anxiety to gweU the nuznberuf bales ? If the operation* were controlled hy one iutereet, of course, do inch anxiety would be felt The trouble is, that while all hope for and ex pect a small crop in the aggregate, each in particular ly anxious for a large interest in that small crop. The sound individual rule will be to consult the old plan tation economy—maintain the old diversity of pro- dacte and strike for individual Independence as far as possible. Support the plantation with food-crop, and reservo the cotton for profits and dividends. PROM MILI^DGEVILLE. MrLLEDc.avii.LE.

As showing tbe object and spirit of these meetings we give tbe following resolution which was unanimously adopted by tbe meeting held in Nashville on Saturday last > Resetlved, That all citizens of Davidson county who, without reserve or qualification, approve the efforts of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, for the reconstruction of the Government of tho United States, and who are sinoerely desirous for the re-os- tabliahment and restoration of good order, quiet, peace, harmony, cheerful obedience to law, both State and Federal, and to preserve in the future, the paat greatness and renown of our whole country, be in vited and requested to act as delegates to the Mas. Convention tube held ou Thursday, the 22d of Feb ruary, I860. Is it any wouder that Parson Browulow is contemplating a removal North where be may die in peace f NLr.no Emigration Westward.—The Atlanta Intel ligencer notices a steady and oon.tant emigration of negro laborers through that city westward, and re marks upon the importance of energy and activity in Georgia to counteract the movement by furnishing negroes with every inducement In the way of wages and employment to remain where they are. “For our part, until Georgia Upland* can compete in productiveness with 'the Mississippi bottoms, we shall be unable to see how Georgia planters can com pete in labor wages with western planter*. The latter can mid will overbid us, and we should not be sur prised to see a heavy drainage of labor towards the rich cotton lands of Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar kansas. and that region finally concentrate the bulk of the colored farm laboring population. Where a good hand can produce from ten to thirteen bales of cotton he should be able to command ample wages." And yet with this prospect before us there is at least one member of our State Legisla ture who is short-sighted enough to desire to exclude foreign labor and capital from com ing amongst us. Such we understand to be tbe object of tbe resolutions introduced in I be Senate by Mr. Ezzard on Wednesday :ist. An article giving our views on Mr. Ezzard's Japanese policy, so ill-adapted to our present circumstances, is unavoidably crowded out of our present issue. It will uppear in our next. The Nashville Banner of tbe 18th instant, learns that tbe Hon. Alexander U. Stevens will proceed to Washington in a few days. He lias not received a pardon as yet, but a petition from some of Ihe most conspicuous members of the republican party lias gone up to tbe President urging tbe issuance of his letters of amnesty.

I have commenced the work of establishing a General Agency Business, for tbe purchase of all ar ticles manufactured or imported into the United States ; (Liquors only excepted.} And with a view to success which depends solely upon the interests of lny patrons. I have made arrangements with manufacturers. In the principal towns and cities North, as well as Importers, to have their produc tions and imports at first and lowest prices. 1 have secured the services In New York, of a resident gen tleman of long experience, by which I ain placed ou a footing with the best jobbing houses there. Thus placing my profits alone between the manufacturer and importer’s prices, and the cost of my patron’s goods. 1 think my profit Is much less than the Job ber could afford to work for. And as I do not pro pose to keep any goods on band, I will at all times lie prepared to Invest my patron’s money where it can l>e done to the best advantage, In a he cheapest and most desirable articles. My arrangements extend from the purchase or charter of Vessels, to the purchase or sale of every thing from steam engines down to the fitting up or a complete Drug, Shoe, Dry Goods, Hardware or Variety Store, for stocks complete or for filling up the assortment. I receive for sale or shipment all country produce at Savannah, or to the care of Hunt A Bro., Charleston, S C., or Jeffreys A Bro., Jacksonville. Fla.

Washington, Feb. 19.—The Hotta* of Representa tive* to-day, by a large majority, passed a series of resolutions declaring that the rebellion having de prived the people of the South of all civil government. It becomes the duty of Congress to enable them to or ganize State Governments; also, that the Preaideut is fully justified in maintaining tbe suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and in keeping troops in the Southern States for the protection of Union citizens and freedmen. lEKAlit. The President to-ilay sent in his veto of the bill to extend the powers of the Freedmen’* Bureau. Tits President takes the ground that the biU as j—’ is unconstitutional, and that the appointment of agents iu every county where freedmen and refugees exist would impose too much patronage in the hands of the Exooutive, and enable him to use it for the attainment of political ends if so disposed. Tho President in his message expresses the earnest hope that a measure Involving a queeUon eo important to the country will not become a law. unless upon the deliberate consider ation of the people it shall receive the sanction of an enlightened public judgment.
