Bishop Lynch's Lecture. —lit. Rev. Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, S. C., w ill deliver a lecture, at Concert HalJ, this evening, at the invitation of a number of our citizens, for the benefit of the orphans of South Carolina. The Bishop is a native of South Carolina, and is a learned and eloquent divine, loved and respected by nil who know him. His mission is one of charity, and the object of his lecture one which appeals to all classes and to all creeds. It will, therefore, be liberally attended. The Bishop has recently de livered a lecture in Atlanta, ior the benefit of the poor of that city ; and was subsequently invited by a committee, of which Governor Brown was a member, to deliver another for the benefit of the orphans of South Carolina, which he did. Both of these lectures were largely atteuded, and liberally received. The subject for this evening is one of historical interest, and iu tbe hands oi so eminent a student of history, and so agreeable a lecturer, as Bishop Lynch, will be rendered doubly interesting. Stovall’s Family Flour. —We ate indebted to Captain Thomas P. Stovall, of the ‘‘Excelsior Mills,’’ for a sack of his Doable Extra Family Flour. We have made ourselves familiar from every day use, with the general excel lence of the Flour manutactmed at the “Excelsior” Mills,Tut the sample just received is, if possible, better than any we have before used. It is from the very best selected v. ! ; v heat, and possesses all the <|tollies that can be desired, in color, tu.-to, and adaptation to family use. Captain Stovall not only claims that it is unsurpassed by any of home manufacture, but he confi dently places it against the best brands in the country. The Flour interest is an important one in our City, and, we are pleased to know that the repntafiOu of the Flour manufactured here is widely acknowl edged. The Miltonian Tableaux. —Very respectable and appreciative audiences have already witnessed the Miltonian Tableaux, now on exhibition at Concert Hall, in this City. The entertainment is of great beauty and attractiveness, and as a work of art reflects the highest credit upon the artist whose production it is. The ideas of the j>oet are hand somely and effectively portrayed, and the interest of the beholder is enlisted from the commencement to the close ol the Panorama. That of the Apocalypse is also iin attractive pnnoramu, and is justly ad mired. 'I be descriptive part of the entertain* raent is given in a clear and pleasing way, by a gentleman well qualified for the duty, and who intersperse his lec ture with appropriate airs on the rnclo dian. Those who have not seen these paint ings should avq'd themselves of the earliest opportunity. ' Those who have already aeta theft will need norecommen. datiou to go again J they will do so of their own accord. Trunks anu Values, —If you want a good trunk, valise, or carpet bag, go to M. Cohelt’a. County Court. —There will be an c«U« swutiou of the .County Court held on Monday next. 11th last., fa* the pur pose of trying prisoners confined in jqii, —there being a good many. I‘rosec*- tors, witnesses, and jurors will take, notice. We understand that there no civil cases tried. The criminaF docket will he taken up ion Tuesday wonting. On Monday, the Grand Jury will aqjujip jbe various Jjill&.uf unlicl utent to 1t« laid before them. Recorder's Court. —There were but two case* in this Court yesterday morn ing. The first was an 18th section case, in which the party tried was accused Os playing in the wroug key—Whia-keyvL aml tor bis discordant notes was churged the costs of court. The second was * band— not * Gid eon’s Bund”—of street musicians, two of whom ‘‘played upon n harp of a thou sand strings,’’ (more or less, without “the spirits of just men made perfect,”) another on a flute and another on a violin, all without having taken out a license, were required to take out said license and pay costs, whereupon they went on their way rejoicing, to discourse sweet music to delighted audiences. Two other 18th sectiou cases were fined $2.50 each. Errata.— Errors will occur in the best regulated printing offices, and hence wa seldom deem it necessary to correct the freaks of the types which occasionally deface our columns. But several errors occurred in the letter] ot ‘•Oglethorpe,” yesterday, which were especially mortifying. In the last line of the second paragraph, the word stick should have been rich, and in the next to the last paragraph, the word modifi cation should have been mortification, “ The Dark Suje of the Pictuke.”— “De white folks always sey dat de Debbil was a black niggah.” “ Now, I node, all de time, it wasn’t so; I node he was a white man; and bress your soul 1 es you’ll jis go to de panorama of • Paradise Loss’ you’il see if it ain't de blessed trufe 1 Ay golly, but dat's a good picter, to be sure!’’ That was no doubt a great consolation to the indignant freedman. The American Farmer. —The Feb ruary number of this valuable and in teresting agricultural' monthly has been received. It contains a great deal of special jinterest to the farmer and planter. The American Farmer is ihe oldest agricultural publication in the United States, and is published monthly, in Baltimore, Maryland, by Washington & Lewis, at $2 per annum. Lectures for the Benefit of the Poor. — It is stated that the gentlemen who got up the late masquerade ball, are making arrangements to secure a series of lectures for the benefit of the poor of the City. Dr. btophenson, Ma jor Withers, Major J. B. Jennings, Cap tain M. J. O'Brien, and F. 11. Miller, Esq., have been selected as a commit tee of arrangements, and they expect to secure lectures from a number of dis tinguished gentlemen, during the next few weeks. Among those who are named in this connection are Gen. R. E. Lee and John R. Thompson, of Virginia, Bishop Lynch, of Charleston, and several eminent gentlemen ot our own State. The design of the Committee in thus combining the holy office of charity with the high intellectual enjoyment which these lectures will afford, is most happy and commendable, and we ear nestly hope that nothing will prevent the realization of their beniliceut pur poses. ~ * t ,• Population, p»‘ Alabama. —The New York Tribu we says : “Alabama has just taken a State .census, and reports a total population of 945,244, whereof 442,445 are blacks. In 18(i0 she had 964,296, of whom 435,132 were slaves. It .is evi dent that her blank inhabitants are just about as numerous as in 1860, while her whites are hut 20,000 fewer. We infer from this that the Southern States have generally nearly, if not quite as many inhabitants now as in 1860, and will have more in 1870. The stories that the blacks are “dying out” seem not to be sustained. A good many of theft have migrated northward or been taken to Texas; but they will number at least four million in 1B70.” The War Cloud in Europe. —The latest Cable dispatches announce that war is imminent between Turkey and Russia. /Active military preparations are being made by Turkey, aud also by Greece and Russia. All forts and mag azines on the frontier are being placed in readiness for any emergency, and there seems no probability ihat either of the disputants will recede from the position they have taken. What influ ences may be brought to bear by other European nations to prevent the con flict remains to be seen ; but it is not likely that either France or England will lend their assistance to Turkey again, especially since that nation is acting rather on the aggressive. It is a mautfr, howtWer,- of general import ance to Europe that Russia shall not be allowed to control the navigation of the Mediterranean, as would be the case were Copstantinople to fall into Russian possession. Mail RobbEkh Cauob*. —-Two ne groes and a white boy were arrested in Lynchburg, the other day, ou suspicion of robbing the mails. One of the ne groes had been employed about the office as porter. T hey bod about them various packages of money, among which Were $230 in notes of the Bank of Hamburg, 8. C., which had been mailed by Miller & Franklin to a bank ing firm in Richmond. Letter* from an Ex-Rfbel, to Hon. Horace Greeley and Her. Henry Ward Beeoher. NUMBER it. Sirs : The powerful political party to wliielj you belong iqqiati that tljyse States shall, coufer upon all tiegroea who are a|er twenty ope year* of age tbe rjgltl to partippyt* in tbe «iactnjeqt of tluiluftvllic feboitui of public offunr*. the imposition and distribution of tuxes, the expenditure of the public money, and all the mass ol subjects which enter into and compose the idea of Republi can government. A refusal to do this is denounced as rebellion, and a denial of the assumption that the negro is quali fied to discharge so greqt a trust is de clared to- be coneluaive evidence of our determination to treat the race with in justice and cruelty. The freedmen can never be adequately protected until they are clothed with political power by which they can protect themselves, is the axiom upon which your party proceeds to solve the intricate problem which it has undertaken. You, at the North, can afford to treat this question op principles of pure sen timentality and experimental philan thropy, because its practical effect upon your social and political system would be, hardly greater than if you were to pass a law conferring citizenship, and the right of suffrage, on the subjects ol the Imaum of Muscat, or of the Prince of Monaco. But to us, the question is quite different in all it bearings, con siderations, mid application. With,us, the negro population is nearly equal in number to the whites, in all the "rebel Stales,” and in two of them (South Carolina aud Mississippi), according Jo the census of 1860 the blacks were more numerous than the whites. You know, and you cannot deny, that were a qualification of intelligence or educa tion attached tp the right to vote,' not one in five hundred of the emancipated slaves would be found to possess ft. You know that the negroes are brutally ignorant. You know that in intelligence they are barely rational. You know that they do not comprehend, and are not guided by the requirements of morals and religion. You know that their previous condition of unqualified dependence on the wjll of another —fed, clothed, tended, t raiisl'erred from place to place, by the unquestionable authority of their master, and without the slightest exercise of their own will, makes them as incapable of intelligent judgment now, as a than would he incapable of accurate and keen vision who, after being immured all his life in a dark cell, was suddenly brought into the light of the sup, at noon, and commanded Jo see clearly. Yon may wish that the negroes were all intellectually bright, morally pure, and religiously pious. You may wish that they should possess all the advantages of a liberal education. But your benevolent wishes can not realize themselves, or alter the facts, no more than they can alter the color of the African’s skin or straighten the texture of his hair. Tlfe mass ol negroes are ignorant, improvident, incapable of mental effort, and helplessly dependent on the white man in everything that elevates the rational being above the rest of the animal creation. Time, education, and judicions cultivation, may, and doubtless will, develop in them the faculties which are essential to healthy independence, and will teach them self reliance and the social duties which freedom has devolved upon them. But this must be the work of time. No legis lative decree can effect it, no more than it can alter their physical structure or develop their muscular strength. There ate exceptions. There are intelligent negroeg, of good sense, sound judgment, and accurate moral perception, who might safely be entrusted to-day with the right to vote. But you know that they do not constitute one in every five thousand of the black population, and that they serve by marked contrast to illustrate more forcibly the mental and moral inferiority of the remaining mil lions. ‘ You say that their mental inferiority, ignorance, and moral blindness are the results of the barbarous system of slavery, and that those who are accountable tor this condition must pay the penalty of their own crime. Do' you, then, propose to give the negroes power which yon believe they are unfit to ex ercise, in order to punish those to whom you a'tribute their deficiencies, and not because you,consider the freedmen ca. pable of a judicious and beneficent ex ercise of the privilege with which you seek to endow them? Does your experience of universal suffrage in your own city of New York, where white ignorance, immorality, cor ruption, and incapacity practically con trol the government, and are the con stant themes of your just denunciation, warrant you in requiring that we should voluntarily abandon our government to black ignorance, immorality,corroption, and incapacity? Do the examples of Jamaica, St. Domingo, and Ilayti, where negroes have long controlled the gov ernment, justify you, as honest, consci entious men, hi condemning us for hesi tating to inflict a similar curse upon the country which we inhabit, and wbieh we claim the right to govern? Is it just for you, who will be only indirectly af fected by the experiment, and who have yourselves refused to endow the few hundred negroes who are scattered-over your immense country with the unquali tied right to vote, to compel us to allow a million of negroes, tire slaves of yes terday, to control our legislative, judi cial, executive, municipal, social, and industrial system, knowing, as we do, that they are incapable of comprehend ing the most aim pis of the duties which such a privilege would impose upon them ? • •< i '*•><• You say that we are prejudiced against the that we estimate his capacity unjustly; that we wish to hold him iu social and political subjection. It this were literally true, which it is not, do you thiuk that an act of Congress to be enforced by bayonets can obliterate these prejudice*; or prevent the commence ment of an antagonism of face*, the ter rible consequences of which it is Impoi silde to tfegpribe ? Is it not infinitely wiser, iu the interest of both races, to allow time to conquer prejudice, improve the intelligence and capacity of the blacks, and leave to our judgment, good sense, mid self-interest, their political and social elevation ? As a measure of punishment to be inflicted by a conqueror on his sill jeets. the grant of universal suffrage to the tp nitons of semi barbarous blacks, would be complete in its atrocious cruelty, and would rapidly consummate the desolation which war has failed to bring upon this section. But as a measure of policy, reconstruction, or jlistife, to either whites or blacks, human folly can be guillv of no grosser or more fatal blunder. We are ready and willing to educate the freeJman and aid in his enlighten ment and qualification for higher and greater responsibilities. We have clothed him with legal equality to ena We him to protect his rights of person and property. We are resolved to treat him liberally, generously and justly. But never can we be brought voluntarily to consent thatheshall he invested with polit. ical power until he shall acquire the qual ifications for a trust so vitally importan , and which has been already too widely and unguardedly conferred. You may call this rebellion, but we consider it self preservation, which is the first law of nature. Xyi.on. The Impeachment.— High Republi can authority is emphatic in the decla ration that the impeachment furore is all wind, and will result in nothing, while equally high Democratic au thority iS to the effect that the impeach ment is certain to take place. Labor Contracts in Texas.— The new Assistant Commissioner of the Freedmen’s Bureau, in Texas, has abolished the former order in regard to labor, and the freedmen now contract like anybody else for the best they can gel- Swearing* of Editors. In the Wheeling Senate, on Monday last, Mr. Farnsworth offered the following: lieso'ved, That the Committee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of requiring the editors and publishers of newspapers in this State to take the test oath. Destruction of Cotton. —During the last fortnight we have recorded the loss by fire of 3,900 bales ot Cotton, in a Columbus, Ga., warehouse, and of 4,176 bales, by the burning of three steamers. This makes 7,107 bales of Cotton so destroyed in that time, the value of which was at least $1,021,- 820.50. It is stated that John Morrisey has ‘‘gone up” financially. His losses on Cumberland Coal stock were over $400,- 000, though there is no evidence that this loss alone caused his failure. He will have to get hold ot some Congres sional “corner” to recuperate. The Supply of Tobacco.— The total amount of tobacco annually produced throughout the world is estimated as follows: Asia, 309,900,000 pounds ; Europe, 281,844,500; America, 248,- 280,500; Africa, 24,3000,000; Austra lia, 714,000, making in all 905,039,000 pounds. Prominent Generals at Washing ton. — A Washington correspondent alludes to the presence in that city of Gens. Sickles, Pope, Geo. H. Thomas, Schofield, and T. J. Wood, and General Sheridan was expected on Tuesday. They are said to have been summoned there in connection with various investi gations going on belore the Congres sional Committee, The Cental System. —The Cincin nati Chamber of Commerce has passed very emphatic resolutions endorsing the cental system, which has been adopted by the principal cities of the North, and is to go into operation on the Ist of March next. This is along step toward the much needed decimal system of weights and measures. The cental is one hundred pounds of anything ; and weights will, hereafter, be reckoned in centals and pounds instead of bushels, pecks, quarts, &c. In accordance with this system the weight of the barrel of fionr, on recommendation of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce, will, hereafter, be two centals (net) instead of 196 pounds. Those who remember what a task it was to learn how many pounds of anything make a bushel, will not re gret the abolition of so uncertain a standard. The State of Spain. —Accounts from Spain are anything but cheering, and a Madrid correspondent writes that arrests liavo not ceased for nearly two months, and are being continued at this moment with such determination that the sentiments of many Mayors and Cures are shocked at it, especially in the principality of Catalonia. These re spectful manifestations have drawn down upon their authors, in the official bulle tin of the provinces, an order from the Captain General,saying, “It is expressly forbidden to deliver certificates of good conduct to any person arrested, unless it should have been applied for through the military authority,”- The forts of Caiiente, Mahon, and Carthagena are full of suspected persons, who are sent off to the colonies as fast as the trans ports arrive. The most dreadful atroci ties are being perpetrated by the au thorities all over Spain. $2 ulclcgrcijil). TO THE ABSOCIATKI) PJiKIjW. EEOif WASHINGTON. Congressional. rr SENATE. Washington. Feb. 6.

The House wns engaged in business of a local character. A communication from the Secretary of State authentically notified the House of the adoption of the Constitutional Amendment by five States. Mr. Stevens, from the Reconstruction Committee, reported a hill for the more efficient government of the insurrection ary States. The preamble reiterates the old story of the nullity of the present governments and the necessity of new ones for the protection of the rights of loyalists. The bill divides the States into mili tary districts—Virginia, first; North and South Carolina, second ; Georgia. Alabama and Florida, third ; Mississippi and Arkansas, fourth; Louisiana and Texas, fifth. An officer not under Brigadier Gene ral, appointed by the general army shall comnmud each district. The district commander, when in his judgment he thinks it necessary, shall organize a military commission. United States Courts may issue writs of habeas corpus on certain endorsements of a corams sioned officer. Sentences affecting life and liberty to he approved by the com mander of the district. Indications are that Mr. Stevens will press the bill to a vote to-morrow. Adjourned. The New Suffrage Finn. W ashington, Feb. 6. A special to the Times says ii is known that the President has telegraphed as a private citizen to Southern Legislatures urging the adoption of the new suffrage plan. miscellaneous. Washington, Feb. 6. Governor Letcher has been par doned. Govcrnoi Aiken, of South Carolina, is here. The monthly statement shows the increase of the debt to be $24,575 ; de crease of coin iu the Treasury, $486,- 064 ; increase of currency, $11,173,422. McCracken, author of the Motley let ter, says a majority of our foreign mis sions are held by Massachusetts Puri tans, controlled by such men as Phillips, Butler, Zasli and Chandler. He deemed it a patriotic duty to inform Seward how the country is misrepresented. The Queen’s speech was telegraphed in full. She hopes the Prussian, Aus ‘trian, and Italian war may lead to per manent peace in Europe, and predicts the early removal of the grounds of dif ficulty with the United States. She favors a closer union among the American provinces, and regards Feni anism as suppressed. She thanks God for the disappearance of Cholera and the cattle plague. THE MARKETS. Financial* New York.
