From tho AtUnts San, 9th.] As wa approaehed tbe court room of Commissioner Conley yesterday morning, we observed indications of some excite ment, and upon nearing the place we dis covered a squad of twelve United States soldiers, under command of ottoer Mills, who, at a glance, it became apparent, wore summoned from tbe Federal bar- rooks as military protection or interfer ence in tbe emergency of a difficulty or oonfliot between tbe United Biates au thorities aud the prisoners aud their friends. Capt. Mills, who seemed 111 at ease and aomewhat mortified at the position he oo- oupied, was doubtless posted there by or ders from headquarters. It was thought expedient even on Monday evening to sbundon further defense of the prisoners, the counsel believing it to be the fixed determination of Commissioner Conley to commit the prisoners, and on ressseiu- bling at the Commissioner's room, this policy wisely prevailed, aud the counsel for the deienso determined to ask the privilege of waiving examination aud giv ing bond. At tbe opening of the court, Mr. S. B. Spencer arose und said: “May it please tho court, the counsel for defense havo determined to withdraw from the further investigation of these oases. While we entertain for this court the highest respect, and recognizo its au thority, we, at tbe same time, state frank ly that while we are firmly convinced that one aud all of those prisoners are Inno cent ; that not a particle of testimony hus been adduced to prove their guilt; to show thev have violated any laws or been guilty or any conduct which does not, with as much propriety, belong to the prosecuting attorney him self and Judge Dunning, are of the chief witnesses, wo at tho saiuo time think it proper to withdraw the defouse. In tho cuse of Mr. W. L. Morris, we understand that the person alleged to have sworn out the warrant against him, donies the fact, and declares that Mr. Morris has mado no effort to intimidate him. Doubtless this is the case in other charges. The conrse p«r*uod can do no good. It will engender strife and breed distur bance*, und posssbly result in uioro seri ous couseqiicnccH. Therefore, while we are under the control of Fedoral bnyonets, yet cluiming tho proteetiou of the gov ernment under which wo all livo, wo throw ourselves on tho roserved right of every American citizen—to wavo exami nation nnd give bond for onr appearauce At tho next term of the United States District Court. Mr. Farrow—“May it plooso tho Conrt, while I might with propriety reply to some of the remarks of tlio counsel, I ro- frain, and simply *uy that the coarse de termined upon, in this aunounoement, terminates the eases." Tho Court—“I fix tho bond for tho priHoners at £3,004) each." It wrh theu announced by District At torney Farrow that tho warrants against W. L. Morris, R. H. Clarke, jr., Barney Lee, and Sid Holland, had been dismissed. Tho United States soldiers, who had been ordered to tho proteetiou of the Court from the outrages of seditons reb el* [? J slowly fell into line and returned to their quarters. Tho nine remaining prisoners all gave bond with littlo difficulty. A Queer Place to Hide Money.—Wo find iu a lute i**ue of tho Morning Star, of Providence, Rhode Island, the follow ing interesting paragraph : “One of our particular friends made us a very handsome present yesterday, noth ing Iuhh than eighty thousand dollars iu buuk bills aud cheeks on the Planters’ Bauk of Savannah, Georgia. The bills havo all *orved their purpose as money and boon cancelled, but tho chocks show murks of having bueu stolen before thoy were paid. 1 he latter all hoar the date of 183f>, aud tho bills were issued between and 1 $f»8. Tho entire lot were dis covered iu a halo of cotton which arrived here ruoently. We feel like a king with so much money witbiu our grasp.” There is material here for quite a noat little tale of fiction. Tbe mystery is by whom, when aud where was this money concealed, and the inotivo inducing the possessor of it to use such a queer hiding place. If it were possible, we would like to trace up tbe history of this oottou bale —find whero it oarne from, how many bauds it had passed through bofore this discovery was made, and of what year’s growth it was. Tbe inference i* that it is Georgia oottou, hut even this in mere speculation. The Planters’ Bank was once ono of the most stable and prosper ous institutions in onr oity, bnt its day has passed,and it is now numbered among the things that were.—Saoannah Metes. Easy Cotton Culture in California. Tho Han Francisco Bulletin says: It is necessary after each rainfall in the South to go over the cotton field with a hoe. This drawback, which is ono of tho most costly nnd todious items tho south ern cotton-planter has to contend with, is not onconuterod in tho growth of cotton in California. It is not planted here uu- til the rainy season is over, and ia picked heforo the first fall rains descend. The ground nood only be worked twice in thi* Htate, and instoad ot the tedious hoo and expensive attendant labor plows can be used. Tho cortain abseneo of rain here dur ing tho picking season renders tho expen sive process requisite in the Houth, and known aa “moating,’’nunecoesary. The proceee consists in the separation of the raiu-stained cotton from the pure. There aro largo tracts of Und in the eontbenst. ern counties of the Htate (much of it etill being public, and therefore open to pre emption), wbiob if planted in cotton late in April, will yield 460 pounds to the acre, no irrigation being requisite othor than that wliioh the olonds afford in ordinary seasons of rain-fall. It ie elated that one plowing will be ample, bnt we presume that point is etill open to tome doubt. Haven and a half oenta per pound ia said to be a liberal estimate of the ooet of raising, nicking and bailing cotton in Korn Valley, after the ground has been once thoroughly broken; while ootton can not be prodaoed In any portion of the Houth for leea than twelve cents per pound. Hpeoimena of Californian ootton of this season’* growth from Dixon seed have been exhibited here within a few days. Although it waa planted throe weeka later than it should havo been, and ita culture and growth were attended with the usual drawbacks incident to all new crops, (he specimens received aro unusually white aud silky, aud tbe fibre long and exceed ingly fine.

In a late speech delivered by General J. B. Htoedraan of the United Htatee Army we find the following historical Incident: I am an old time Democrat, aad I have been appealed to ainoe Greeley wa* nom inated a greut many times since to know how I eonld vote for him. Why, they •ay, Hteedman, Greeley bas abneed yon all for tbe last thirty years. Greeley never said a hard thing of us that we tUd not repay right on the spot; and Horace Greeley was tho first man that ever rained hi* voice on mercy’s side. [Gheera.] In the excitement and indignation ol the war when the peoplo demanded that lead ing men of the Houth shonld be exe uted on aocount of the part they had taken in the war, the first man iu the North that beat hack this excited wave waa Horace Greeley. I remember it well, and if yoa. will bear with me I will relate a little in cident that hAs not come out yet. When Jeff. Davis was captured if you will re collect, Clement C. Clay, of Alabama, was capturod ut tho aame time, and tbe wives of these men were made prisoners. They were taken to HavanoAh, Go., and theu takeu to Fortrefi* Munroe. Edwin M. Htanton turned tho two ludies back, with on order to go back to Havaunah and remain there. Your humble servant waa than in oom- maud of the Department of Georgia, and these two ladies were my prisoners for about four weeks without my knowledge. I received a letter from Mrs. Davis, whose acquaintance I had made in Wash ington when I was Printer to Oongreea, askiug peruiisRion for Mrs. Clay anu her self to visit the oity of Augusta. I telegraphed to the General Command ing the District of Haven nab that these two ladies might go. They oarne up to Augusta on tho Commissary boat belong ing to the United Htates. When they ar rived there they had tuinlaid the dispatch, aud the officer commanding our fleet was exoited. He thought tho Confederacy was upon ur and would not let them off. Mrs. Davis had a relative, Mr. George Hteel, who lived eight miles from Augus ta, aud when iu Augusta she showed me a letter lroiu Horace Greeley. I could not read it iu half an hour, hut she had it for sevoral days and hod deciphered it, and volunteered to road it to me. It was a letter of condolence, Horace Greeley tell ing bur to be of good cheer, that though she should be separated from her husband no harm would come to her. I thought that a most heroic act. It wan the most humane aud geuerous act l ever knew, that lie Hhould think of nuch a thing, and had tho hcroiHm to write her a letter which might go to tho puhlio and subject him to u charge of sympathy with the Confederacy, tho most preposterous charge that was ever made against an honest and pure man, on the face of the earth. I have been in hopes that that letter would bo published in this cam paign. I am bnt detaining you. I am in favor of Horace Greeley as a soldier of tho United States Army, because I be lieve him to bo tho only Union oandiiiate now running for the office of President of the United States. [Great applause. J The Ailvinrc In (told. Tho gold market advanced to 115J yes terday ou the nows that tho Bank of Eng land hod raised tho discouut rate to r> per ceut. This procedure woh wholly unex pected in Wull street, aud, ou explanation boing sought, the oouclusiou was reached that Euglund had become alarmed at the uature of her trade aud financial relations with this country, and had advanced the rate to prevent a threatened movement of specie in this direction. Whilo watching Gertnanv all summer to forestall the cash ing of tne drafts givou upon London by Franco in payment of the indemnity, she gave no heed to the efflux of capital to this country, and has only lately perceiv ed that with our enormous exports of wheat and ootton this winter and the re daction of our imports to their usual win ter standard the rules for sterling exchange must speedily causo a flow of specie hither—a roversal of the direction of the specie current, which *be must stop at all hitzArds. Hence the first application of the screw ou tho money roarkot yesterday. Tho emigration of capital is ouly a nat ural sequence of the long emigration of labor to Atnerioa, and follows it as natur ally as walur boo);* its level. The present relations of the United Htates and Europe in these matters ure very interesting aud worthy of profound study. [N. V. Herald, 4th. A Movable Vote.— Administration man agers speak meaningly of their great de pendence on the negro vote, oxpeot to make largo nse of it. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana abnt upon Htates iu which there is a Inigo negro vote which will not be wanted at home, but will be useful in tbe States nutuod. From Virginia a Dem ocrat, who will vote for Greeley and Brown in November, writes to the Tri bune that the Htate is suffering depopula tion almost, in eonsequenoe of the hurry ing northward of hosts of negroes who are to vote in Pennsylvania. The Grant man agers have all the machinery in their own hands, and will not stop At nothing to save llartranft and his corrupt crew. Will the honest election officers in Pennsylva nia look to this ? Or, not to depend ou officials, will the Liberals in the Keystone Htato constitute themselves a committee of vigilance V This ia no idle rumor ; our correspondent is a trustworthy man whoae source* of information aro good, and who knows whereof ho speaks. It is doaigued to carry Pennsylvania by exporting col ored votes from Virginia. We ean stand the voto at home; we cannot afford to have it used twice over anywhere. [Mew York Tribune. Sergeant Gilbert II. Bates, who, it will lie remembered, carried the American flag, immediately after the war, through the Houthern Htates, is going to do a very foolish thing. He has sailed from New York to England. He proposes, iu pur suance of a bet that be has made, to carry the United Htates flag, unfurled, from one end of that country to the other."- fluch a step Is one way of gaining notorie ty and money, hut at the same time Ie opon to very grave objections. It is like tbe Irishman's request, at DonuFhroak Fair, for some one to treed on hu cost tail—un invitation to insolt, and *1 tba same time bears the appearance of a taunt. We do not suppose the English cure anything about tbe Amerloan flag, or about Sergeant Bates, but tho mob ele ment exists there as well ashore. Thero are a great many characters in tba rural distrieta also, who arc like the miner oar- ioathred in “Punch,” who says to hia companion, pointing to a grave and peaceful clergyman quietly proceeding Last them, “Yon is a stranger, Tom, let’ll heave a brick at him." Bo the flag may be what wlU he called insulted, and then there will be unloosed a tremendous amount of newspaper balderdash. [Baltimore Gazette.
