Our readers are doubtleas ajrare that Presi dent Johnson hat informed the provisional go re room of Worth and South Carolina, also of Hi»i ippi to retain their placed, until express ly ordered by him, to abdicate. This policy r era may also expect in Georgia. In common erilh the people are deprecate exceedingly, t hat oar provisional dependence ia to be con- : in • td, and would willingly make any reason*- hht saerUkea. to the end, that civil law and a pdfdon in the Union might be insured. Our prmperity and seenrity, nay, our veiy exfet- enat depends upon it; and all that is neces sary, h for Pmaident Johnson to indicate clearly to oar people life wishes with regard to our conduct and policy, » that we may understand definitely our position, to insure compliance and olredlcnee. Our people are net contumacious and stubborn. They are not only willing, bat anxious to conform ttrictly to the policy of President Johnaom-rr ' They see clearly, Out their future depend* to a great extent, upon securing reliable labor, controlled bytbemsclvee, in their own way.—- TbegT.appreciate the necessity of local legisla tion and State government All they ask, is to be told what to do—to be shown in what they bare tailed to come up to the reqnire- menta of the administration. Jt'DAlI P. BENJAMIN. We learn, from various sources, that sun dry Chari table parties, are endeavoring to blacken Mr. Bkicjaxir's hitherto unspotted reputation, by aaerting, that, In his precipi tate flight from this country, last Slay, he found time to purloin a large quantity of spade, belonging to the jpajsuiy, and is lux uriating on this “trophy of the war," at pro* tst All men, who have watchod the career of the Secretary or State of the late Confodcra- cy, w ill listen with indignation at thfe cow ardly -.lander. We all know, that few men n i l* greater sacrifice*, by embarking in the war, than Mr. Benjamin. lie ranked, by universal acknowledgment, among the first jurists in this countiy. life practice at the Supreme Corn, in Washington was estima ted to yield him n yearly revenue of thirty -tinmanif 4tU r«.

Living thus, as it weru, from hand to mouth, notwithstanding the splendor oflife income, it la evident that n.igaincoold ensue to tlio distinguished law yer, by launching his bark on the maelstrom of revolution. We merely allude to these I'ucts, to point out the absurdity of a man lik. hint being'actuatod, under auy circuw- -taneas whatever, by sordid motives. Xewahaa also reached us of Mr. Benja min's intention to practice at the English bar. We arc at raid that this will be found impracticable. By their law, tio man can practice at the Kiglish bar, unless lie has screed a term of three years at the Inns of court in London. Should, however, a special ei. piion be made in his favor, (os his bril- nt talents are no doubt estimated at their taltn In that country) the most splendid sueeesij may reasonably be predicted for him. Mi- vast stores of learning, his lucid and act. yet comprehensive inode of eloquence, are just tho sort of acquirements to be ap preciated in England.

Clark presented a communica tion from the African Methodist Church at Savannah, in reference to the church proper ty—Andrew Chapel and a vacant lot—now occupied by said church. The communica tion abounded in expressions of earnest wish es for the property and ascftilnesR of the con ference, and was signed by eighteen leaders of the church. On motion of Rev. J. O. A. Clark, the com munication was referred to the committee on the colored population.

Tlic Nashville Union contradicts the pre vailing impression, that the difficulties in Mississippi, of which we have made mention, originated in a conflict of authority between provisional Gov. Sharkey and Gor. Hum phrey. There has been no conflict between throe gentlemen. When the legislature of Mississippi met last month, and was organ- izctl, Provisional Governor Sharkey an nounced that hi* lease of office would expire with tlic inauguration of the governor elect. Gen. Humphrey* was thereupon inaugurated, and up to the 4th of this month, discharged all the duties incumbent upon Itiju ns the governor of the State. Governor Sharkey did not interfere with liim, or claim to have the power to do so, at any time. The legis lature passed a considerable number of acts, one of which aWished a court established by Gov. Sharkey. This Gov. Humphreys ve toed. The others he approved. The two gentlemen were generally in accord. The.troubles which prompted the presi dent to order Gov. 8harkey to resume and to continue to exercise authority as provisional governor, until otherwise ordered, and to send Gen Thomas to Mississippi, are stated by llie Union to be as follows: The re sult of the hostility of the people, in some quarters, to the freedmen: the shooting of colored soldiers; the imprisonment of a Fed eral officer, Capt. Peck, an agent of the freed- men's bureau, for attempting to enforce life authority in Copiah county—a citizen against whom he had issued a process to compel him to pay a tax being deputed by the sheriff to arrest him; the law recommended to the legis lature by the convention committee; and the failure of the legislature to meet the demands of the president's policy of reorganization. The president had treated the people with the greatest forbearance and magnanimitr. lie had given them an opportunity to mani- tiox.—We see by the papers, (one of which, the reported to be Gov.

The general impres sion prevails amongst the freed people that they will not feel free from all restraints until they leave their bid homes and.contract with new employees. To this and he has arranged with the agent of the freedroen's bureau to permit them to occupy the time from Christ mas until the fifteenth of January to deter mine their status for the year, but that the bureau will demand that they shall not lie vagrants, and deal witli them as sneh, if they foil to make engagements and steadily com ply with the same. He also stated that tlic negro troops are to be withdrawn from the interior and garri soned on the seaboard. Abont one thousand white troops will remain in stations in the State. These will he properly distributed, so as to form a nucleus for the militia, which will be sufficient to prevent any outbreak, or suppress any disturbance, that ma^ occur.

There is much anxie ty and interest felt in completing an early connection with the Georgia road, and by this extention speedily establish a point some where on the gulf. Every effort will be put forth to accomplish the object. The convention appreciating the necessity of opening the office of register of State lands, formed a resolution. to that effect, re. questing and authorizing tho provisional governor to do so without delay.

Logan has been tendered a mission to Japan, and it is understood that he accepts. Among tho heavy war accounts being set tled by the government at the present time, is that of J. T. Sanford, of New York, for charter money of three steamers, amounting to $800,000. The governor of South Carolina addressed a letter to the secretary of the treasury, ask ing that the State have tlic privilege of as suming the direct tax levied by congress, and the same may lie paid in Sonth Carolina bonds. He alleges that the State is mucli impoverished, and cannot meet the tax im mediately. No-action has been taken on the letter by the secretary of the treasury. The secretary of war has notified the qugr- master general that officers of the veteran re serve corps mustered ont under general or ders No. 155, Who held commissions March 3d, 1865, shall receive extra three month's pay, authorized by act of congress March 3d, 1865. The British government has ordered all restrictions on American vessels of war to be removed. It appears from the U. S. treasury monthly statement for October, that the amount on deposit for coin was $34,054,000, and the to tal amount on .deposit was nearly $100,000,- 000. Amount on deposit in national hanks fe nearly $30,000,000. and the available funds in the late insurrectionary State is $716,000. Some of our cotemposnrics recommend the inauguration of a custom, requiring a cer tificate of good character from every negro making application for employment. A league or union has been organized among the freedmen of Montgomery for the purpose of fixing the rate of wages. White labor is being introduced and the freedmen will soon find themselves without employment. Companies have been formed in Alaliama and everything is being pnt in readiness for trying the experiment of finding oil. A well is now being bored at Fort Spring, in Lawrence county, and it is lielievcd that oil will be found. The steamer Gen. Hooker picked np boat at sea, containing four ladies and small giri, passengers of the steamer Repub lic recently lostnt Savannah. Rev. Dr. Joseph Cross, well known in the Sonth as a prominent minister in the M. E. church, has withdrawn front that denomi nation, and is now in New York city, where he has become a candidate for orders in the Episcopal church. In a private letter to the editor of the Adroeate, he says: “In making this change of my ecclesiasti cal relations, I have been influenced by no feeling contrary to perfetS -lore’ towards those with whom I have so long been associ ated in the work of the Lord. . Their kind ness to me has always been much greater than my merit; and I am indebted to many among them, for brotherly offices,-which l am'sure I never can forget. Having been bom and partly reared in the Church of England, bap tized by one of her presbyters, confirmed by one of her bishops, and early impressed with the spiritual beauty of her worship, I fed that in entering the P.

Liverpool, Nov. 1.—The visit of the Prince and .Princess of Wales to Liverpool having taken place on the 81st, business was totally suspended on that day. The com mercial repott, consequently.- is only about one day later than by the Cuba. The cotton market is very depressed; and prices have sustained a further decline of abont Id per pound: The stiles are ^estimated at 4000 bales. No regular market for .breadstuff's. Since the arrival of the Cuba all articles re mained very firm, and wheat a little dearer. Provisions generally very scarce, and prices remained very stiff. Lard without change. Produce small. Sales of -ashesp at 80s. Gd. a37s. for pots, and 37s. for pearl. Sugar and coffee steady. Rice dulf; Uuf holders firm. Petrolum stead)*. London matjset brisk; all articles in re quest.

The Globe claims forbearance for the re constituted minister till he is able to lay be fore parliament life programmepr satisfaetory character. The Oteihj Neat fully expects the govern ment reform bill. ' The Morning Post thinks the reform doubt ful; the nation having been too indiffefent.

Hi dalgo. The flags were lowered to lialf-mast, and the place wore a . general expression of mourning, rather than of activity. The Periodieo officially announces that Oaxcn has been occupied by a body of Juarist troops, under Col. Diaza. brbtlier of Porfcro Diaza. The Negro Troubles at Jamaica.—Al though the British provincial authorities have received late advices from Jamaica, they do not divulge any particulars concerning the insurrection. Indeed, so carefully have the colonial officers concealed all tlic particulars of the affair, that the merchants, in Halifax doing business in Jamaica have petitioned the government for such information concern ing the rebellion as will enable them to take measures for the preservation of their prop erty. The Halifax Citizen says' “ the ‘ particulars of the present outbreak have been covered with the usual secrecy observed by the mili tary authorities, and therefore the vague re ports efirfent' ilohbtlcss contain much that is not warranted. The insurrection, however, seems to be not so much a political organiza tion. like that in San Domingo, as a violent ebulition of the lawless blacks—straitened for supplies they were too indolent to earn, or reduced to want and thrown out of work in tliecanefiei ds by the late remarkable droughts..
