In testimony of the attractive features of our State, aud thc advantages offered here to emigrants from other sections, we piesent the following extract from the letter of an intelligent gentleman of' Indinun, which is valuable as the evidence of one of our own countrymen from another section, who has visited the State, and is therefore competent to speak. He says : per cent., the income,o'f the annuitant would be proportionately diminished. This plau of finance is said to meet the full approval of the Secretary of the 'freas- ur}', arid, in fact, is said to have originated with him. If such is the case it reflects great credit on hi3 sagacity as a financial minister. i: \DICAL, MALIGNITY IN TENNESSEE. Our readers have, doubtless, observed with 1 interest the great struggle iu. Tennessee be- ; tween the radical and conservative parlies j upon the suffrage question. It is now an- “I have passed through nearly every por- nollnced t i ial n, e illiquiloU8 act to limU Uie tion of this-State (Georgia) and take pleasure I H in stating that it is not only a healthy and productive country, but the inhabitants are generally industrious, thrifty and hospitable, despite the effects of the war. With great mineral resources, a motive power in the middle and northern sections of the State which cannot be exhausted, and a climate which is a happy medium between the rigors of the North-and the enervating heat of the , f . . , ... „ ,. extreme South, it must become the maun- \ 1 been said justly that eternal infamy will cling around the names of those who have thus trampled upon thc rights of the people elective franchise in that State, which lias caused so much excitemeut in the Legisla ture, was finally passed iu the Senate a few days since. It disfranchises nine-tenths Of the people of the State, and is one of the most reckless and uf|>rincipled outrages ever perpetiated upon the liberties of a people. Thb-Cotton Cbop W fflteKOiA.—For several days past, says the Atlanta Intelligencer, we have been engaged in calleffinff all the Information wspossibly could relative to |&e prospect* of the present grow ing cotton crop In our State. From all onr sonreas of information, the conclusion has forced itself upon ns, t|pt the result of this year’s planting will prove to be a most unproUtable one for onr praters. The crop will tnm out to .be an exceedingly short one, if the halt that has been reported to ns be true— which is, that most of the seed planted has proved to be imperfect—the plant itself, after its appear ance above ground, almost invariably failing to take root and sustain its growth. On very many plants* tions there win be enUra failure; on others, only partial, some greater, some less. This' with the ex periment of free-labor now being tried in the State, warrants, we think, the conclusion to which we have come, that the cotton crop of Georgia will be an exceedingly small one. The Jurisdiction of Courts Martial. A general order hag just been issued from the War Department in relation to trials by Military Courts and Commissions, stating that; Whereas, Some military commanders arc embar rassed by doubts as to the operations of the proclama tion ol the President, dated the 2d of April, 1866, upon trials by court martial for military offences, and to remove such doubt It ia ordered by the President, that hereafter when ever offences are committed by civilians, they are to be tried where civil tribunals are in existence to try them. Their cases aTe not authorized to be, and will not be brought before the military courts martial or commissions, but will be committed to the proper civil authorities. - s Undcrthe sixtieth Article of War, tliis order is not applicable to camp followers, or to contractors and others specified in the sixteenth section of the act of July, 1862, and the first and second sections of the act of March 2d, 1863. Persons and offences recog nized by the rules and articles of war, and by tbo acts of Congress above cited, will be continued to bo tried and punisbed by military tribunals, as prescribed by the rules and articles of war and the acts of Congress. The New Convert.—Stanton the Fierce lias at last yielded to the pressure of common sense. Late news by the mails confirm the telegram that he is body and soul now a supporter of the policy of President Johnson. Better late than never. No man was a more bitter hater of the Sonth during the war, and let us hope that wc shall hiver no truer friend in peace than Edwin H. Stanton. He was a pillar of strength to the Radical party, and his former friends growl im mensely at the defection. The noophyte is to be con gratulated on the light that has broken in upon him.

It has not only a material but political sig nificance. . Says the sensible “Hoosier,” the people are industrious and thrifty, and withal hospitable to strangers. In other words, the war has left no bitterness of feeling here towards honest and industrious immigrants who come here to settle. and so ruthlessly defied and set at naught the spirit of our free institutions.

In relation to the cholera on the steamer England the American Consul proceeds to state he cannot learn that there is or has been a single case of cholera in England, and therefore he coucludes that the disease was not the result of infection taken from any locality in England. Newspaper say that eholera is on the Rhine in some localities in Spain and France, but not alarmingly prevalent in any of those countries. THE PRESIDENT AND THE COLORADO BILL—WILL HK VETO IT?

We were much struck with a statement published by us yesterday- from the Chicago Republican, recommending manufacturing to Southern planters. To this subject our thoughts have been directed for some time past.- It is the only' practical solution of the question of the relative productiveness of free and slave labor. It is • evident that the former is not available for any purpose of cultivating Southern products. Emigration is not a resource.from climatic considerations, i The stream of emigration will not be direct ed to the Southern fields, even under the strong inducements of cheap farms, and the prospect of personal independence in a few years. There must be some superior mo tives to those presented to the European ourt while a doubt exists as tq whether martial law is abrogated or not. I can say, with good authority, that the President does interpret the peace proclama tion as abrogating martial law where the rebellion was declared to have cease'd, in all matters in which civil courts have jurisdiction. It ia understood that a die- tatory resolution to that effect will be issued by tli President iu a day or two. CONFESSION OF PBOBST. PniLADELFHiA, May 7.—The Evening Telegraph publishes the confession of Probat. He confesses having murdered the ontiro iamiiy. He says after killing the boy he felt devilish and bloodthirsty, and going to the house induced each member of the family to the barn on various pretexts, and there killed them with ai small* Iflf Miss liololi arrived unex pectedly with Mr. Beering, and after Probst had en ticed Mr. Peering to the barn and dispatched him, he returned and killed Miss Dolen. Ho says he would •have confessed before, but- feared that be would be torn to pieces by a mob. ’ The Department of 3tate at Washington has re ceived information that the first detachment of Aus trian troops have sailed for Vera Cruz, and that others will soon follow.

The establishment oi' manufactures seems to present the only escape from the embar- rassments-that beset the Southern planter. He then could offer to the European emigrant equal inducements to those offered by the capitalist of the - North-wert by which the inconveniences of a Southern climate would be obviated, while he could afford" as ample remuneration for labor. The article which has appeared in this paper from the Chicago Republican, has, no" dqjjbt, beenfwell con- sidc-red. The calculations are too minute not to be based on accurate information. The result of the writer’s estimate shows that converting the raw material into cloth would be attended by more than adequate profit. The fact that the raw material is “grown at the-door of the factory,” in view of the circumstance that the expense of trans portation forms a large element of the value, is of the utmost importance. ^ It constitutes the principal argument employed by the pro tectionists in favor of their doctrine.

TAXING PUBLIC SECURITIES, la thc bill submitted to the 'Senate by the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, coneolidatiog the National debt, one of the clauses of the bill exempts the securities from taxation, both of the United States and the State Governments. To this exemption there will be opposition on the ground that it vio lates an admitted prirsftple of taxation— equalizing the public bnrdefas. There are sufficient reasons for the . exemption on con siderations both of policy and equity.
