(Special Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial ! Washington, March G.—The following is Geueral George H. Thomas, evidence, in full, before the Re construction Committee, on the condition of the States of his command, excepting Tennessee, sub mitte.1 to the committee to-day: Major Geueral George II. Thomas examined by Mr. Boutwell. The General said: “Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mis sissippi are included in my command. The people of Alabama are extremely anxious to be under the control of the United States, and to have that State in its regu lar position iu the Union, but they are not yet per sonally friendly to Union men. They are desirous to be under the government of the United States, and have attempted to pass laws as judicious as they could, at the time, to regulate the atlairs of the freedmen. One of their bills was not considered constitutional by the Governor and was vetoed by him. “He thinks now that the Legislature will pass a just and fair bill to regulate the affairs of the freedmen of the State. The people there have had a fair trial in tlieir attempt to gain their independence, and have failed completely. They now profess to have given up the contest, and express themselves desirous of re suming their relations with the government. “It is difficult to say what portion of the people are reliable Union men. Before the secession of the State the majority of the people of Alabama were for the Union, and when the subject was first sub mitted to the people, a majority voted against seces sion. I am informed that the ’State was eventually taken out of the Union by the trickery of determined secessionists. “The people acquiesced in the result, and many of them seemed to give up their Union sentiments, and some ot the original Union men have remained rebels, and are now strongly iu sympathy with the enemies ot the Government. Others have expressed their gladness that the rebellion lias been crushed, anil pro fess a desire to have their State back iu the Union; but their interest and symiiathies have such hold upon them at this time that it is very difficult to ob tain clear expressions of sentiment of any man there. **1 aiu inclined to think that a very small proportion of t hen, would bo wWfnc to sacrifice their property and interest in the south for the sate oi iuo ui.:-.. they did not do it before, and it is fair to presume that they would still adhere to the advancement of their <»wu private interests in preference to the inter ests ol the national Government. In e.-me portions of the State there is a very butter feeling between those who lave been Unionists during the war, and those who have been identified with tlie rebellion. In other portions, the people all seem to desire to be friendly to one another, and to adhere to the Govern ment. •In some portions of western Alabama the sentiment is decidedly iu favor of the government; in other por tions of the State I think the sentiment of the people may be expressed in this way: If they thought they could establish a southern confederacy, they would prefer it, but, seeing no hope of that, they desire to live under the Constitution of the United States.— There is iu Alabama a strong, decided disloyal senti ment, though I think the Union sentiment predomi nates iu many portions of the State. “ In elections that have token place in that State I don’t know that it has been a universal thing for can didates to put themselves before the people as having participated, more or less, actually in rebellion, but there were two distinct parties iu northern Alabama, and the Union Candidates were defeated, but I think the Union candidates there for the Legislature were all, or a majority of them, elected. I think in central and southern Alabama the successful candidates were either officers of the rebel army or active and working rebels. Reports of frauds in certain districts in elec tions was forwarded to me, and I suppose are now on file in tho Adjutant General’s office. The charge was that improper persons were permitted to vote. It was substantially as understood in that State up to this time. Union men and freed men have not, to any great extent, been in danger of their lives. But few instances of personal violence have been . eported to me. Generally speaking the presence of United States troops, and officers of the Frcedmen’s Bureau, has been sufficient to put down any demonstrations of hos tility. I do not think it would be expedient to remove the troops until the people show that they are them selves willing and determined to execute civil law with impartial justice to all parties. ••I think public sentiment is divided on the subject of allowing freedmen to become freeholders. I have heard of no legislation on that subject either to em power them to become freeholders or to prohibit them from becoming such. If the national troops and Froednien’s Bureau were to be withdrawn from the State at this time, I don’t believe the Union men or the freedmen could have justice done them. Injustice toward them would commeuce in suits in courts for petty offences, and neighborhood combinations to an noy them so much that they could not reside among them. I am satisfied, until a better state of feeling shall arise; that if all restraint should be removed, the freedmen would be thrown back into a condition of virtual slaverj r ; that is, they woald be compelled by lagislative enactments to labor for little or no wages, and they would not dare to leave tlieir employers for fear of punishment; and unless men who had been Union men through the war, had very strong personal friends, they could not live iu the State; they would be annoyed so much in various ways that they could not live thoro in any peace or comfort. I think emi grants from abroad would be kindly received, but I think emigrants from the north, or Union men, would be coldly received and treated with indifference. I don’tAnow whether any effort has been made or not to ascertain whether the negroes would be willing to remove to any territory assigned to them, ^if that was to be done, but from my knowledge of negro char acter 1 think they would object to it. I think the mass of them desire very much to continue to live in their old neighborhoods, and with their old masters invari ably, where they have been treated w ell as slaves. I was born in a southern State and reared, to the age of nineteen, in that country. Since 1 have been in the army my service has been mostly in the southern States, and on the frontier bordering on southern States. There is no danger cf trouble from., the ne groes remaining where they are, unless the whites treat them so badly that they are compelled, in self-de fence, to rise up against them. There is one section •f Alabama where the people, under the direction of a philanthropic gentleman of that State, have gone to work themselves to establish a Freedmen’s Court, or something equivalent to it, through which they pro pose to administer fair and impartial justice between the employers and the negroes, and they have also un dertaken to establish schools for the instruction of ne groes, and for education in the primitive branches of knowledge. The disposition of the negroes for education is uni versal, especially among the younger portion of them. Their capacity for receiving instructions have not been fully developed, but from all that I can learn from conversation with different persons, they pos sess a fair capacity for acquiring knowledge. I think the second generation can be instructed much mom easily and thoroughly than the present one, because in a measure the mind of tho negro is entirely devel oped at the present time, except in matters of practi cal observation. I think in many instances where ne groes have been assnred that they would be paid fair wages, they have gone to work willingly and have con tinued at work as long as .the contract has been faith fully informed on the part of his employer. I do think Georgia differs materially from Alabama. There may be somewhat more of personal hatred to the ne gro in his relation as frcediuan, but as yet it has been easily controlled through tho Freedmen’s Bureau, Suit al is constantly improving in all the The people of Mississippi appear to me to be more impulsive and more prone to stand up for and aasert Uieir opinions. It is a difficult matter to describe the difference between the people of these two States, yet *. er f J® a difference. I consider the people of Missis sippi the least promising. The people of that State do not listen to argument and diicussion with as much calmness as the people of Alabama do. I don't know tnat I can give a decided opinion of the difference in the bLate of feeling ip those States now and ju6t after Lee s eurrend an* *‘io rtj>ortsI received soon who traveled hurrklly through that section of the try. I think iu the great majority of cases they were disposed to look on the most favorable side imme- diately after the surrender of Lee and the downfall of the ConfedCTaoy, and perhaps they did not investigate as closely as persons would at the present time. The universal report made to me by persons traveling through those States at this time, was to the effect that the mass of the people were very happy at the downfall of the rebellion, and at their prospect of soon again getting under the Constitution and Gov ernment of the United States. Q. Do you know anything from information or re port of secret organizations south, said to be hostile to the government? A. I have received several communications to that effect; bnt persons who have given me this informs tion have desired that their names should not be men tioned; and as yet no direct accusations have been made in regard to any person or class of persons.— There have been steps taken to ascertain the truth of the matter. The persons who are in communication with me are reliable and trnthful* and 1 believe their statements are correct in the main,*trat how far this disaffection extends I am yet unable to say. It does ♦ xist, to a certain extent, and I am taking measures to obtain as much information on the subject as I can Q. To what State does this information relate ? A. It relates to all the States lately in rebellion. I think there is no real danger to be apprehended, be cause the military authority and power of the govern ment is only feared in those States, but I think it is ample to put down any serious demonstration q>. Is this information from different sources, each independent of the other ? A. Yes, sir. Q. So far as you are informed, what are the nature and objects of this organization V A. To embarrass the Government of the United States in the proper ail ministration of the affairs of the country, by endeavoring or making strong efforts to gain very important concessions to the people of the south, and, if possible, to repudiate the national debt incurred in consequence of the rebellion, or to gain such an ascendency in Congress aa to make provision for the assumption by Congress of the debt incurred by the rebel Government. Also, in case the United States Government can be involved in a foreign war, to w atch their opportunity and take advantage of the first that occurs to strike for the independence of the States lately in rebellion. Q. Do you know of any person of influence impli cated in this movement ? A. I have not ascertained that aiw persons of influ* ence are implicated in i£ and I wrm further state, in justice to the people of the south, that I know many men who were prominent in the rebel army who I believe are now honestly trying to become good citi zens of the United States, They bavQ been paroled, and have applied to the President for pardon, and are awaiting his decision. They have set themselves to work quietly to earn an honest livelihood in some practical and peaceful manner, thereby setting, a good example to the other people of the south. THE LATEST NEWS. Despatches of the Associated Press. THE FENIANS ABOUT TO MOVE. New York, March 9.—Intense excitement prevails in Fenian circles in this city to-day. It is thought undoubtedly a demonstration will shortly be mads against Canada by Gen. Sweeney. He says he has al ready large stores, arms and munitions, with trans portation at his command. A special states that it understands that the govern ment has ordered the militia to be stationed at Ogs- denburg to prevent raids from tho United States. All sorts of exaggerated stories prevail. 4 PREPARATIONS IN CANADA FOR WAR. Montreal, March 9.—A call for 100,000 men of the Canadian militia for active duty, which was made late on Wednesday evening, was enthusiastically respond ed to, and early on Thursday morning news was re ceived from all parts of the country that their quotas were ready for active service at a moment’s notice — There seems to be no doubt that three or four times the number could be had in a day’s notice. The whole volunteer force of tins city paraded last evening.— Strong guards arc posted at aU the armories, and pa trols kept moving through the city all night Every preparation is made to guard against any Fenian sur prise. THE FENIAN EXCITEMENT IN TORONTO. Toronto, C. W.. March 9.—Tho response yesterday to the call for volunteers from all parts of the country was very enthusiastic. A much larger number offered than was required. Tho Globe of today has a report that the plot of tho Feuians is for a body of them to cross over to Canada and take part in the public pro cession on St Patrick’9 day who will disturb the peace and distract attention while armed Fenian bands will make raids on the border. A SPEECH FROM THE PRESIDENT. Washington, March 9.—A delegation from the State of Kentuckj’ has presented to President Johnson the proceedings of a mass meeting held at Frankfort, Kentucky, indorsing his reaa au ium can, ni^ue course of which he said the presence of the agents of the Freedmen’s Bureau in Kentucky tended to produce demoralization and dis satisfaction among the negToes and annoyance and in convenience to the white citizens, and was productive of no good results. The President briefly responded, tendering to those whom the delegation represented and to the State of Kentucky his unfeigned thanks for the kind expressions and manifestations of confidence in him personally, and an endorsement of the policy which shall control bis administration. It was peculiarly gratifying to receive these assu rances at this peculiar time. He testified that the re sult would show that the confidence thus reposed was not misplaced, and would never become a matter of regret upon the part of those who gave expression thereto. The result is regarded as most gratifying at this critical juncture in the affairs of the nation—scarcely less so than when an armed and organized force sought to overthrow the Government, and to attack and attempt to cause a disruption of the Government by an armed combination and military force, which was no more lawless than the present attempt to re volutionize and undermine it, hy a disregard and de struction of the safe-guards thrown around tho liber- 1 ties of the people in the Constitution. Our stand has been taken. Our course is marked out. We shall take no step backward. Our purpose in this regard can not be given more plainly than has already been furnished. In tho future as in the past we shall endeavor in good faith to make the administration of affairs of government conform to the Constitution in its letter and spirit. Therein is the only guarantee .to the lib erties of the people. It is hoped by an adherence to this rule to remedy ere long all the irregularities and annoyances to which people have been subjected.— Again, do we assure you that these demonstrations of confidence and assurance of support on the part of the people are exceeding cheering to us—that we are grateful for and properly appreciate them, and that our most earnest wish is so to discharge the trust con fided to us to merit them. Florida News. The Floridian announces arrival at Tallahassee of Hon. Philip Fraser, Judge of the United States District Court for tho northern district of Florida.

The bill to amend an act to prevent tho spread of foreign disease among the cattle of the United States,' approved December last, as it passed both Houses, having been signed by the President, is now a law. It provides that the importation of cattle and bides of cattle from any foreign country into the United States is hereby prohibited; provided that the provisions of this act shall be suspended as to any foreign country or countries, or any ports of such country or countries wherever, the Secretary of the Treasury shall officially determine and give public notice thereof, that such importation will not tend to the introduction or spread of contagious or infectious diseases among caHle of the Steam Engines and Machinery.

A bold robbery was committed on the 6th Ipst on the Broadway Bank, comer of Park Place and Broad way. Mr. Janies Bowes went to the bankSJdepaait $3,727 22 in two packages, and while counting the mo ney near the teller’s desk he noticed a nun standing near by, and soon after felt so ana undflC hi" own, and at the same moment one of the packages, contain ing $2,283 was taken up. The thief dodged into the hall, but was seized by Mr. Rowe, when he dropped the money and started off again, bat was subsequently arrested by persons passing the bank door. The thief turned out to be George Gardner, alias the Dutch Hen- rich, who committed the celebrated gold robbery at' the Bank of Commerce about a year ago, and who was charged with a similar robbery in Philadelphia, but who escaped pubisliment in In : Diocesan Theological Seminary OF SQUTII CAROLUIA. CiiAaLKBTON, S. C.. February 39, 1866. I N the name af the LortL we come to present t. yonr chrlvtftin -love the' Diooasaw Tu*oi.o«ioal SotiNABv or Soutu Cabolin Eetabliaherl at. Cam den in the year of onr Lord 1669, it has already sent forth nine neralds of tire Cross, seven of whom are Btill in this diocese, earnest, efficient, able ambassa dors for Christ There are at present eight candidates for holy orders, who, for divers reasons, are scattered through tlie country, and are pursuing their studies under innumerable difficulties. In the providence of God, our s.-rainary hnildings have been destroyed by fire, and a large porl ion of the library was lost. The permanent fund, amounting to near fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) has been all lost in the political con vulsion which has so lately shaken this land. Gloomy as is our immediate retrospect, we look forward with laith, and hope, aud trust to the future. We have two professors ready to commence their work at once, and God has put it into the heart of a bene ficent layman to present to tlie Bishop aud trustees a large and well adapted building and gronnds, in Orangeburg, in this State,—a healthy, central, and altogether most eligible location,—for tho use of the yrofessors and gtndentB. This is onr beginning; we :iave a shelter, bnt no* one dollar. But in faith we have determinant# go oa, and theftWIMs6s have re solved that the exercises of the seminary shall com mence o(T the firsf of April. We need four thousand dollars ($4,000) to carry on the work this year ; but we desire to raise two hundred and Any thousand dollars ($250,000), to pnt the institution on a secure and permanent basis. Dear brethren of the household of faith, can we appeal to yonr Christian charity with an object more worthy of yonr aid than this Southern School or the Prophets, where fit and well-trained laborers shall be prepared ppd sent forth to preach tho everlasting Gospel of the Bon of God In the Church, in tlie great and peculiar field which the providence of God has allotted to us? It is the pniposg of tho OonvenHonpf this diocese to establish a-Prephrattvy School for hoys, which shall be of a high order, aud in connection with the chnrch. We propose to make this a marked featnre in onr future plans. For many causes, such a school is now greatly needed, as education has necessarily been much neglected of late; and we desire to pro ceed at once to the organisation .of the same. We are also anxiohs to commence Qnr work at once, in order that the resifintion of the Diocesan Convention may be acted upon, namely: “That this Board be antnorfud and requested to search oht, and take by the hand, inch colored persons as may be desirous of preparing for the sacred ministry of oar church, and to whose capacity and moral and spiritual fitness their pastors may testify, and to provide for their educa tion and training at schools or seminaries, by and with the sanction and approval of the Bishop.” Thie “ Jy. under the direction bare their brethren of the same race to teach and to minuter to them in holy things. Besides which, what a prospect opens before ns of preparing a steady and continuous supply of missionaries tar poor, be nighted Afiffta, whose peculiar constitutions are adapted to its inhospitable climate. In this vast country, with itslhst increasing population, we heed a seminary at the South lo carry out these pip-poses. Hie Church calls for it—the country needs it. Bqt what can we do bnt lilt up our hearts in prayer, white we present our hands to yon ? We are stripped of all dur gooda-i-we are wounded end left on the wayside to die-thnt come in. like the Samaritan, and bind op onr wounds, and pour in on and wine-—that being given strength to work, through our labors here the 11 desert may be made to bloom and blossom as the roae.” Ton will please send yonr donations to me.lnCanv den, or to the Secretary of the Board, in this city.
