THE SCORNING STEWS AT TWENTY- FIVE CENTS PER WEEK. We have recently systematized and brought into operation the old plan of -weekly subscriptions to the Daily Mokctxo News, and within the past few weeks our circulation, under this plan, has largely increased. We desire to place the Mon-nan News in the bands of every Mechanic, every laboring man, and every per son of intelligence ; and knowing that there are many who cannot afford to pay five or ten dollars right out of pocket for a six month’s or a year's subscription, who would not feci the expenditure at twenty-five cents per week, for a daily newspaper, we have inetl- 9 plan, and engaged Hr. H. C. Merritt to *t- t particular business. Persons in any part r who desire to take the Monutso News, at 9 cents per week can give their names to j leaving them at the office, they will be at- Collections will be made every Saturday. _i READERS OF THE MORNING ___ .US PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE. We were in hopes of presenting the Presi dent’s Message to our city readers yesterday afternoon, in the form of an extra, but the wires were so occupied with private dis patches, it was found impossible to transmit it entire until near daylight. The message will be read with interest by all classes of our citizens, and is one of the most able and readable public documents that has ever eminated from the hands of a Chief Magis trate. Wishing to give our numerous subscribers the necessary quantity of news and local matters, we, as usually customary with us when pressed for room, issue this morning a supplement, in which will be found a variety of selected news items and other interesting reading. Many advertisements will also be found in the supplement THE SAVANNAH CHARLESTON AND RAILROAD. The Charleston and Savannah Eailroad which had been completed but a short time before the breaking out of the war, at an expense of some three m illirns of dollars, and which had just begun to develops the country through which it passed, and to demonstrate the com mercial advantages of a railroad connection between the two principal South Atlantic cities, in connection with the gTeat coast line of travel between the North and South, was destroyed by the Federal armies. Since the close of the war, the Company have repaired a portion of the line of road leading from Charleston, but in the impoverished condition of the country, desolated by the war, the stockholders have been unable without State credit to complete the entire reconstruction of the road, and ore now before the legisla ture of the State, of South Carolina, asking for authority to issue first mortgage bonds to the amount of five hundred thousand dollars, to secure the prompt completion of the road to Savannah. The present indebtedness of the Company is in bonds guaranteed by the State, amounting to less than, eight hundred thous and dollars, and the amount now asked is so inconsiderable compared with the immense benefits which must result to the State and the commerce of the country fromils completion, that it can herdly be supposed that the Leg islature will hesitate to grant the authority for issuing the new bonds. The Charleston News, in urging the favorable action of the Legislature, speaks of some of the advantages to be attained by the early completion of the road, among which is the great increase of travel that would be induced between Charles ton and Savannah. Independently of the local travel, the accommodation which the road would afford to through travel from the North, is a matter to be considered. The News says: Last year more than five thousand persons travelled from the North to Florida, and re turned when the warm season began. This year it is expected that at least twelve thou sand persons will visit that State; and the large majority of these would indubitably pass over the railroad from this city to Sa vannah if it were open for traffic. There is also in contemplation the establishment of a line of steamships between Florida and Havana, and other West India ports, which would tend to swell the volume of passenger travel. And it is not too much to say that the reopening of the Savannah and Charles ton Bail Bond, in connection with the Atlantic & Gulf Bail Bead now open to Bainbridge and being pushed rapidly on to Mobile in a direct line, will complete the easiest, safest and quickest line of travel between the Northern States and the Gulf The light grades of the seacoast route admit of high rates of speed combined with thorough safe ty, and, within a few years of the completion of the connections upon this through sea- coast line, we expect to see the traveller token from New York to New Orleans in fifty or fifty-five hours. After pointing out the benefits which would result to Charleston from the travel and trade which the road wonld bring to her, the News continues: “ Bat even these things would be as noth ing in comparison with the gain to the low country, by the opening up of the new rail road line—for new it will assuredly be in sys tem, management and policy. The Savannah and Charleston Bailroad traverses one of the richest and most fertile sections of the State. Cotton and rice are now raised there in large quantities, and their_ production must be greatly increased by improved railroad com munication; and there is a mine of wealth in the virgin pine forests, which are probably the finest on the continent. Alrendy the pine forests of the North and of the British colo nies have been cleared so far from the water courses that the cost of hauling to the river sides swallows up the greater part of the usual profit. Lumber must be had, and in the region between Charleston and Savan nah, with the railroad open, it can be cut to better advantage than in any other place of which we have knowledge. In addition, there •would be naval stores, of which the produc tion need only he limited by the labor be stowed upon them. In the same region may be grown many kinds of tropical fruits, which would find a ready market here and in the North, which the cultivation of early vegeta bles, a business of large profits upon a small outlay. All these benefits of local passenger traffic, of through passenger -traffic, of the increased production of cotton and rice, of the foundation and development of a trade in lumber, and of the establishment of the business of cultivating fruits and vegetables, t would grow out of the early completion of the Savannah and Charleston Bailroad. And if these were not enongh, we might call in the phosphate rocks to turn the scale; for there is reason for believing that they also may be found in the region whose iinmm«<. resources we havetstriven to describe." only increase the facilities of c o mmunication between the two cities, so closely identified . in commercial, political and social interests, but would complete an important link in the great coast line of travel between North and Soutlr, in which our city and railroads are in terested, we earnest^ hope the South Caroli- rm Legisature will take such action as will “sure the speedy completion of the work. A Nice Paett. The Washington Ckronide M Monday announces among the late arrivals Mum" - C1 &’ Bullock, Blodgett, John A. andAlt08 T ‘ Ackkhxan, ■** THK BASICAL rOBSHYCATEREB AND INVENTOR OF FALSEHOOD. The Agent of the Associated Press in this city telegraphed an unbiased, truthful state ment of the recent negro outrage on Thun derbolt road, on Saturday night last, which appears in the Northern papers of Monday. The dispatch is published (for a wonder) with out manipulation in Fobkex’s Washington Chronicle, but with the following editorial note appended: [The above dispatch coming from a South- era agent of the Associated Press, it is almost unnecessary to remind our readers that due allowance must be made for that gentleman's natural antipathy against the race of men to which he alleges the disturbers of the peace in the above instance solely belong.—Bn.] What words can express the full measure of contempt which every honest man ninst feel for the miscreant, who, in his base and ma lignant efforts to keep alive the bitter preju dice and animosity of his section against the Southern people, that wantonly assails the veracity of a public agent in the faithful dis charge of his duty—who, knowing nothing of the circumstances of one of the most diabolical outrages ever perpetrated by a band of savage outlaws, assumes in vindication of the mur derers to question the veracity and impugn the motives of a feithful and conscientious reporter. We assure our cotemporaries of the North, that the brief statement of the murderous affair on Saturday night is strict ly in accordance with the facts, and further that the “Southern Agent of the Associated Press” at this place is a gentfcman of char acter and veracity, as far above John W. Forney as truth is above falsehood, A Remarkable Escape from Heath by Strychnine.—From a correspondent at Wei- bom, Florida, we learn the particulars of a most remarkable recovery from poisoning by strychnine. It appears that on last Sunday, the 6th inst, Mrs. W. being under medical treat ment, Mr. W., her husband, through a mis take, gave her two grains of strycnine at one dose.' In a short time she began to complain of feeling very strangely, and soon she was pow erless to move any of her limbs. The family becoming alarmed, sent for Dr. Mallory, who saw her about forty'minutes after the dose had been administered. He prescribed for her when she soon began to mend, and by morning was entirely free from the influence of the drag. Dr. Mallory, in speaking of this re markable cure, said it was the result of an ex periment made by him when he considered the case hopeless. Our correspondent sup poses he will make known his treatment through some medical work. Chief Justice Chase.—A Washington let ter in the Baltimore Sun says: -‘Chief Justice Chase, who has just returned from Bichmond, speaks in flattering terms of the Southern people so far as he was able to judge of feel ings. He thinks there are no people more loyal or more anxious for peace and harmony between the two sections, and that if per mitted to do so they wonld very soon recover from the disastrous results of the rebellion. The action of the Chief Justice in sustaining the motion to quash the Davis indictment was anticipated in this correspondence, but it was not expected than the vindictive na ture of Judge Underwood would prompt him to dissent and necessitate the question being certified to the Supreme Court The Chief Justice thinks there is no doubt about his opinion being sustained by'the other mem bers of the Court” It is noteworthy that no regret is express ed, even by the Bepublican journals, at the burning of Fort Lafayette. The New York Times frankly says: “It had been utterly use less for militaiy purposes, and the memories of our civil war connected with it were not such as either side cares to cherish. Bebels and those who sympathized with them, and who had suffered imprisonment within its walls, owed it a special grudge, aud regarded it as a relic of the ‘tyranny’ under which they had suffered—and loyal men looked upon it, as upon many of the other agencies of the war, with a good deal more of respect than affection. But pretty much everybody is glad it has gone, and nobody desires to have it re built” Trash fob Christmas.—Forney announces in his “two papers, both daily,” that he is getting up a Christmas sheet In partial list of its contents he announces a story en titled, “How a Bepublican Soldier won a Southern Wife on Christmas Day,” by John W. Forney, editor of the Philadelphia Press and Washington Ckronide. Doubtless it will be something rich, bnt we think Forney would succeed better in telling him to get up a conspiracy to blast the reputation of a wife in order to enable a recreant husband to ob tain a divorce. He has had experience in that line of business. *- The Badicals are very distrustful of Gen. Sherman, they knowing very well that he despises their destructive politics. They are, therefore, trying to find a way of heading him from the command of the army when Gen. Grant steps into the Presidency. One planproposed is to allow Gen. Grant to re tain rae title rank of “General,” so thatwhen his civil term is ended he will return to the army as its chief This “graceful” proof of popular favor will not be so pleasing to Gen. Sherman and his friends, and considering the respective services of the two Generals, it is hardly a fair “divide.” Bathsr Hard on the Meades.—The Co lumbus Sun, speaking of the allged insanity of Commodore Meade, nowin the Insane Asylum at Bloomingdale, New York, says: “The insanity of this Meade is no new thing. He has been considered crazy for a long time. If friends of the family will un dertake the case, we will furnish the proof necessary to put the brother, in this State, in a public institution of a different character.” Wonld the editor put him in a “sweat- box?" A proposition has just been made to aban don the entire existing system of collecting the revenue, and assess direct taxes upon the States. The scheme requires that but one assessment and ratio of business, profits and incomes should be made; and a just propor tion of the required revenue apportioned, in accordance with such assessment and ratio, to the respective States, to be collected by officers duly elected and charged with the du ties of collecting under the laws thereof Movement Southward.—The Charleston Courier has information that prospecting com panies are passing through Washington City almost daily on their way South. They are represented to be generally men of ample means, and are anxious to invest a part of their capital in Southern enterprises. Some wish to buy land, others to establish manu factories, and others to engage in anything that promises the most profitable results. The Mobile Register think* that Southern planters ore better off to-day than they were before the war. They are free from debt, and receiving more for their cotton than ever be fore. Formerly they were always one crop in debt, and belonged to their'factors. Now they have learned economy, and are their own masters. THE CAUSE OF RE VOLUTION IN CUBA. The New York Evening Post, in sympathy with the Cuban cause, prints a letter from a Cuban gentleman, in which the writer sots forth the grievances of the Cuban people, which have induced their present revolution ary movement The writer says. They complain that they have suffered from Spain precisely the wrongs which the Ameri- oancolonies suffered from England. They have had Spaniards of no character put over them; every avenue for an honorable public career has been closed to men of Cuban birth; all the offices of honor or profit are monopo lized by Spaniards; and they have to bear an oppressive burden of taxation, without re ceiving any benefits. For these reasons they intend to assert their independence, to expel the Spaniards; and to set up a republic of their own; and Cabans in this city who are in correspondence with the insurrectionary leaders, express a belief that the movement will succeed. If we substitute the word “scalawag” for “Spaniard” in the foregoing extract, we should be glad to know of the New York Evening Post, a reconstruction newspaper, what is the difference between the condition of the Cabans and the Southern people? Mobile Register. The difference is in this: The wrongs and oppressions of which the Cabans complain were inflicted by a tyrannical and unscrupu lous monarch, from whom they had no right to expect anything better, while the Southern people are the victims of usurpation and treachery. The Cubans can point to no vio lated Constitution—no broken faith. Our Florida Correspondence. Tallahassee, December 8, 1868. Editors Morning News : The Supreme Court adjourned on Satur day last for one week, after making the rale nisi absolute in the Gleason case. It assem bles on Saturday next, when Gleason is to appear and show by what right he holds the office of Lieutenant-Governor. We under stand, however, that he has withdrawn alto gether from the Court, and will not again ap pear either in person or by counsel. Then the Court will have no alternative but to pro nounce judgment agaiust him. This case has been an interesting one, but it has now reached its climax. After much manoenvering and skirmishing, contending against the jurisdiction of the Court, demur ring to the form in which the action was brought by the Attorney General, and then filing a petition', that the case be transferred to the United States Circuit Court of this State, (all of which have been decided against him), Gleason is finally driven to the wall. There are now no more dodges; he is brought to the point, and he may well say that he will take no farther notice of the ac tion of the Court. He (Gleason) cannot prove himself to have been a resident in the State three years, as required by the Constitution, when he was elected, and the Conrt must and will decide, whether he appears or not, that he does not hold the office of Lieutenant Governor. But what will this decision amount to in a State reconstructed like Florida hasbeen? Nothing; virtually nothing. Mr. G. takes no notice of it; he treats the Conrt with contempt; and will not suffer himself to he ousted from his office—calling ont in the language of Sir Boderick Dhu, “Come one, come alt, this rock shall fly From its Arm baae aa soon as I.’’ When the Legislature assembles in Janu ary, exercising unlimited sway over the trackling members of that body, he will succeed in having the Supreme Court im peached, and that will end the matter. Then with Beed out of the way, (for that oflieer will doubtless be successfully “impeached” in January,) he will be placed at the head of affaire, with nothing to restrain him, and free to administer the State Government as best suits has vile purposes. With courts of his own making, and there are not lacking in his party men who will not hesitate to degrade the judicial ermine; and the other officers of the Government, pledged to subserve his in terests, Gleason will be in position to indulge to the utmost the revengeful passions of his nature. There is a dark future ahead for Florida should this man succeed in his foul schemes. Knowing the leanings of the peo ple in favor of Beed, his mortal enemy, his administration will be characterized by harsh and severe measures, such os have never found a place in the pages of history. We look forward with evil forebodings and inter nally shudder os we contemplate the dire calamities that will certainly befall our once lovely State unless the power of this unscru pulous and vindictive man can in some way be checked. So much for the wise and humane recon struction laws. What a contrast we now present to the prosperous condition of our State when it was ruled and administered, l?y our loved and revered once Chief Magistrate, Gov. David S. Walker. We look back to the time when he was ejected from his office, (un lawfully, we think), and Badical rale inau gurated, with tearful eyes and exclaim in the grief aud anguish of our soul, with Mark Antony— “Oh, what a fall was there, my countrymen?” General Grant says, in his report to the Secretaiy of War, that “troops are still needed in the Southern States.” If they are still needed in portions of the South, it is, as the News of the 4th truly says, “only for the pro tection of society from tbs natural conse quences of Badical innovation, onlrage and wrong.” This is certainly so as regards Florida, for yon might hunt the world over, not omitting loyal New England, and yon could not possibly find a more peaceable, order-loving and law-abiding people than the Conservative masses of the Land of Flowers. No outrage of any consequence has ever been committed upon any of the “trooly loil,” and the Badicals have nowhere succeeded in their attempts to incite the people to riots, and that attempts have been made cannot be de nied. Here loyal men are as safe and secure in the exercise and enjoyment of all their civil and political rights as they are in New England. It would probably be well for Gen. Grant to send some troops here to settle the “impeachment” mnddle, for from the present aspect of the case, we think mili tary assistance is absolutely necessary to ef fect an amicably adjustment, and to see that the decisions of the Coarts are respected, and the laws properly enforced. Bnt we can as sure Gen. Ulysses (if a rebeTs word is worth anything in his estimation) that the true peo ple of this State are as loyal to the Govern ment of the United States to-day as he is, though probably not as Radical, and if bayo nets are needed here at all, it is only for the purpose of quelling the riotous disposition of members of .his own chosen party, who have spread themselves over the land, and are doing their ntmost to stir up strife and tumult that they may reap profit and plunder thereby. On Wednesday last, the three electors (one a negro) appointed by the Legislature, met in the Representative Hall here at 12 o'clock M., and cast the vote of the State for U. S. Giant We learn that they afterwards called upon Gleason, recognizing him as the legal Governor, and received a certificate to the ef fect that they, the electors, had performed their duty, Ac. This certificate was signed by Gleason as Acting Governor, and attested by Aldqn, who is no more Secretary of State than I am. This fact may possibly cause the Presidential vote of Florida to be contested. D. o Jacksonville, December 8, 1868. Editors Morning News: Weather breezy and cool the past week, bnt no frost. The State Agricultural-end Im migration Society held its first annual meet ing last week. Our delegates report a fair at tendance and interesting proceedings. The exhibition of a second crop of Irish potatoes, grapes, wine and the “Bamie” plant, with the informal discussions on cultivation, labor, manures, markets, and. profits, will induce a good many of oar old time large planters to turn tkejr attention to the cultivation of the grape, oranges and vegetables. As the suc cessful experiments of those who have al ready gone into it are assured, the extended cultivation of small crops trill be seen in the coming and future seasons. There is a pro ject on foot to induce emigration freiQ Swit zerland direct to Florida. Parties abroad will take hold of it who ha.ye experience and the means to make it a success. The “St James,” a large hotel now being finished, will be opened about the first of January, Mr. Campbell, of Boston, who has the reputation of knowing how to “keep < hotel,"is to preside. The present hotels ant boarding houses are crowded', and still they some. Among the very best is that of Messrs. Alderman & Co., lately opened, near the .railroad depot The furniture is new and superb, and the table supplied (well and properly cooked)with every delicacy, and ser vants polite and attentive. Mr. Alderman is ever present, and his mild and genial coun tenance contributes to moke the Price House a pleasant resort for the tired and worn way farer. Some one hundred new buildings have been erected in the city the post season, among them several fine residences. One of the neatest both in taste and com fort, was- built by M. C. Oak, On old resi dent, who, being an ingenins mechanic him self, Iiilk combined all the modern improve ments of gus and water-fountains, with the con veniences so much desired by the ladies in house-keeping. Our people now, as of old, give a good deal of attention to the embel lishment of their lots, aud scarcely a lot in town but what contains flowing shrubs, the orange, fig and lemon, and the streets planted with that incomparable evergreen, the water- oak. In the way of locals, a little “unpleasant ness” occurred between one of our old law yers and an U. S. officer, which culminated in a P. B. exhibition, four rounds were fin ished right gallantly, resulting as follows: First blood for the U. S. officer; next three rounds the legal gentleman floored his an tagonist, and by way of a finish, hooted him. The City Treasury will probably be increas ed by several greenbacks, in consequence of the “scrimmage.” Some of our new comers are indulging in “picayune steamers,” three or % four are already in the river, aud afford pleasure parties an opportunity of going about the river independent of oars or wind. Our Board of Trade have directed their rooms to be kept open day aud evening for the accommodation of strangers who may be sojourning here; quite a respectable number of papers are on the reading desks. The engineer party at the bar are nearly throngh their survey, and Trill report soon. Business is more lively this week. The arrival of strangers distributes a good deal of money through the winter season. The legal gentlemen aud judges who have been up to Tallahassee engaged in the impeachment “fiasco” have returned, so probably some legal delays have been agreed upon. It is rumored that the rival candidates, (white men and black men), Badical, one or the other will withdraw. They have been “seen,” bnt at present their figuresare too high. A $5,000 salary and prospective stealings is a prize too tempting to be resigned without a valuable consideration. Oh! the beauties of recon struction are wonderful to behold. I learn from passengers by last night’s train that a serious aud fatal affray took place at Baldwin about 8 o'clock last night. Jessee Darden, a Supervisor on the P. A G. Bail road, and who had been drinking for several days, had an altercation with a man named Brogden, and was fatally stabbed. Brogden made his escape, and has not yet been ar rested. M. A. S. Well Said.—Conservative tendencies in Bepublican ranks are becoming the fashion. Senator Henderson, of Missouri, voted against his party on the impeachment trial. In a recent letter to his colleague, Dr. Drake, he nobly deprecates the policy of his party in the disfranchisement of the white people of the SonlL: A perfect system of morality will not sanc tion wrong that good may come of it. Good never comes from such a source. Men do not gather grapes of thorns nor figs of thistles. Sweet waters do not spring from bitter foun tains. The enslavement of the white man is not likely to bring about the liberty aud bap- piueas of the negro. Freedom is a fruit -that does not grow on the stock of oppression, graft and bud it as you will. Bather than place our party in the attitude which you indicate, let us try the amendment to-day, and if defeated let us then enfran chise our own race and try it again. People will believe that we are actuated by a true love of liberty when they find no cause to suspect us of a wish to enfranchise those who vote for us and to disfranchise those who vote against ns. I propose to secure the negroes rights by an appeal to reason, and not by the perma nent enslavement of a large body of our own race, who are as loyal and deserving as either of us. A young New Yorker recently gave $40,000 toward the erection of a church. He owned a fine country seat on the Hudson; an elegant establishment in New York; had his fast team on the road; made seldom less than $20,000 a day. Thirty days ago his name was good for any amount at the banks. His country house has gone, he has given up his city es tablishment, aud he has not now money enough to buy a bag of oats for his fast team. Erie and the Pacific Mail carried them under. Sad ip True.—Au exchange says: Senator Cameron says that on the night before the vote on impeachment was taken. Gen. Grant visited Ben. Wade aud asked the restoration of-Gen. Sheridan to his command in Louis iana, as soon as he (Wade) became President. This is bad for Grant, if true; but justice compels us to say that Cameron has but one rival as a first class liar, and that is Forney.— Columbus Sun. A dispatch from Harrisburg. Pa., states that Hester Vaughan, the English girl, sen tenced to be hung for child murder, has been reprieved—for how long a time is not stated, The New York meetings petitioned for her pardon. ► ■ ♦ i < A lady member of a New York Church has been “disciplined” by the ecclesiastical au thorities, and now her hnsband itstitntes a suit'for slander—damages $5,000.

WAYNE, - dec9-10t ‘ ’' City MarahaL. BT TEIEGKAPH • — TO — THE MORNING NEWS. Important from Washington—Congress Refuses to Rear the Message Read- More Reconstruction for Georgia. Washington, December 9.—The Senate refused, after a few paragraphs were read, to hear the President's message. Sumner’s Georgia hill is as follows: After premising that the Legislature has failed to comply with the requirements of the recon struction acts by omitting to exact the re quired oath, and did things utterly unjustifia ble and requiring the intervention of Con gress, the bill declares that the existing Gov- ment is provisional only, and in all respects subject to the paramount authority of Con gress to abolish, modify or control the same until the Legislature complies with all the re quirements of the reconstruction acts, and adopts the fourteenth amendment, and sub ject to the fundamental condition that no change be made infringing on the rights of suffrage of any class of citizens. The bill directs that the Governor elect shall call to gether the Assembly at Atlanta on or before April next, excluding (unless relieved by Congress) all those who cannot take the pre scribed oath. The Governor is also empow ered to suspend or remove from office State or municipal officers, and appoint others in stead. Finally, the President is ordered to place at the disposal of the Governor each portions of the navy and army as may be necessary to preserve life, property, peace and the free expression of politicel opinions. Washington, December 9.—Butler and Wasbburne oppose an election in Virginia until after the 4th of March. In the House a bill was introduced sub mitting the Virginia Constitution to the people of the State on the 17th of January. In the Senate a bill relieving Judge Moses, of South Carolina, was passed. Sumnerintroduced a bill relative to Georgia, which was read by title. The Deconstruction Committee reported a bill this morning removing the political dis abilities of some twenty persons, mostly Virginians, including Anderson, formerly pro prietor of the Tredegar Iron Works. In the House, the bill relieving Judge Moses was passed. Contrary to universal custom, the Presi dent’s Message was tabled, instead of refer ring it to the Committee of the Whole. The Senate passed a bill directing the Vir ginia election to be held on the fourth Thurs day in May. _ From Nor tlx Carolina. Baleioh, N.
