JUNK 1. 1886. To ocb CotmTBY Fbiends.—As much interest if i It throughout the country in regard to the pros pects of the cotton and other crops we will be grate ful to our planting friends and others in the interior for information on that subject. Those who Save op portunities for obtaining valuable information in regard to the growing orops, the working of the free- labor system, and kindred matters, of general interest, will confers favor by communicating the same to us. Letter fHk Cktrlesten* [Editorial Coretapondtficft of thd Nnws and Herald.] THE CINCINNATI AND CHATTANOOGA RAILROA D—SAVANNAH INTER ESTED. We have perused with interest the pub lished report of the preliminary examination recently made by Col. W. B Gaw, of the contemplated route of the Cincinnati and Chattanooga Railroad, an enterprise iu which the business intelligence of two im portant sections of the country is now mani festiDg a lively interest. The object of the examination is to ascertain the most favora ble location in the “Tennessee Valley,” thence to the point where the proposed rail road enters the mountains of Dearmoud’s Gap, and has been projected with a view to the establishment of an air line communica tiou by rail between Cincinnati and Chatta nooga. The main object, however, is to shorten the distance between the “Queen City” of the West and the nearest com mercial outlets on the Atlantic and Gull coasts, so that, by lessening the cost ol transportation, there may bo an enlarge ment of the exchange of the crude pro ducts of the South, both mineral and agri cultural, for the products of the skilled labor of Cincinnati. She desires to receive the cotton and wool, the iron, lead and coppei of the South, and in return supply the cloth, machinery and other manufactured articles which, may be needed in the cotton States. To facilitate this exchange of productions, and that the cost of transportation may be dccrefsed, Cincinnati wants a railroad on the shortest possible line which will con nect her with the centre of the Southern system of railways. She says she cannot obtuiu.that line via Knoxville or Nashville. Mr. Gaw, in his report says that the line he has surveyed iS the most eligible one, which makes the distance from Cincinnati to Chat tanooga iwenty-two and a half miles less than by way of Knoxville or Nashville. He says, also, this route is admirably adapted to the ends in view, as it opens up the richest mineral regions of the country, as he knows trom personal observation, and affords the most direct and speedy access to the great cotton fields of Georgia,Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. There is one other consideration in con nection with this subject, to which only a passing reference is made in the report, which demands the special attention of the people of Savannah. It is this: that the construction of the road on the route re commended by Mr. Gaw, will designate, by actual measurement,Savannah as the nearest, and therefore the cheapest outlet on the Southern Atlantic coast for exportation to the West Iudia Islands of the marketable productions of the great West. Heretofore Charleston, as the result of her railroad con nection with Memphis, has enjoyed a monopoly of this trade. Thus, it will be seen, that, the completion of this road would eonfer inestimable benefits upon this city— to the extent, we have no doubt, ol nereaeing two fold its present amouut of business. We sincerely hope that this great enter prise will be speedily accomplished, for it is evident that the Western people are looking with peculiar interest to an adequate South ern market for the sale and shipment of its immense products. Savannah will then command a commercial position inferior to none other in the South or West, and now that the political and social differences which have heretofore interposed barriers, to a greater or less extent against the full trade intercourse between the two sections, time i* uolbing to prevent her enlargement n iu few years to a first class city. The fact that business men and capitalists of the West have become interested so largely in the enterprise to which we have referred, Is a most auspicious circumstance. The ex planation is to be found in the'fact that their attention has been aroused to the great com mercial truth that the shortest route to the Ocean from the West is on the direct line to this city. In the activities and competitions of trade, advantages such as we have indicated are controlling, and the enterprising and intelligent busineas men of Cincinnati perceive that to secure these ad- vantnges for themselves will place their city above the riva'ry of others now successfully competing with her. The - Radio at Sxmatobs is Caucus.—The Radical members of the Senate met in caucus on Friday last, on the reconstruction ques tion. It was agreed that the disfranchising sections should be rejected, and the balance of the proposed amendment to the Constitu tion adopted. Upon the matter of confirma tion or rejection of the Presidential appoint ments. the moderate Senators agreed that it would be ruinous to carry on the warfare al ready inaugurated in the executive session, and that if the Senate persisted in rejecting good men, whose loyalty and integrity was nnimpeached, the Republican party would be weakened, if not ultimately destroyed. This view of the matter, it is stated, seemed to have the preponderance, but final action was not taken, and the caucus adjourned to meet again on Monday next. Oub correspondent, who was on the steam boat Planter at the time of the occurrence, gives a statement of the affair between that boat and the steamer Fannie in our river a few days since. We have heard a very dif ferent version of the matter, and in giving onr correspondent’s description of what transpired as seen from his standpoint, we must disclaim all intention to do injus tice to Captain McNelty, who is entitled to be beard before the entire blame is thrown upon him. We know not whether any bacf feeling existed between the officers of the two boats, nor do we know the true cause of the collision; bat we do know that it is not every passenger on board of a steamer who understands the navigation of our river suffi ciently well to be able at all times to judge necessities which may in- Se wfieeir M-L [CT in the West.— fob tq.-tbuBos- Atpe ton Post telligent ment, who has dlana and Michigan? weeks on official business, is a re-action in political eeali States. He was surprised' to 'fi unanimity in U T <* of the President- ' c Charleston, Monday, May 28, 1866. Having re-visited Charleston, after an ab sence of five years (with the exception of a period of a few days in the summer of 1864), I am induced to jot down some of the 'most remarkable objects and events that may be worthy of record and communication. I have been a pretty constant resident of the city of Charleston for a period of sixty-five years, where I arrived from Savannah, in the year 1796, and left in April, 1861, during which time I have witnessed many important changes in its commerce, business and popu lation. There are many things that I would willingly forget, the recollection of which is poignant and bitter, among which is the loss of many friends, almost all of them my juniors, leaving my contemporaries, “like angels’ visits, few and far between. ” There are some other matters connected with asso ciations that revive pleasant memories. There are other things again that I would not willingly let die, so bright are the hues.they reflect, and to which I would assign a perma nent record, if possible, as meriting preserva tion, and which time is rapidly harrying to that stream of oblivion on which is borne the general current of events. I have stated that I arrived in the city in the summer of 1864. My stay was brief, W it is impossible to give expression to the mingled feelings of sorrow and desolation at the then aspect of Charleston—the ravages of shells upon the fronts of elegant residences and stores in which had been heard naught but the sounds of hilarity or of business— the grass and weeds in the most frequented streets reaching an elevation above the head, the crumbling walls, and the long stacks of chimneys, the effects of the recent destruc tive ’fire. 1 repeat, it is impossible to find language to delineate the impressions pro duced from the contemplation of this scene of desolation. The Federals had ceased to throw shells into the city for some days, and the few fiends who • remained within its limits appeared to cast an increased gloom over its shattered habitations and ruined walls, I quickly returned to Savannah. Those who are able to recall the images that thronged the mind in the summer of I860, during the attack of Fort Sumter, when the flashing of guns and the booming of’ can non startled from their slumbers the citizens of Charleston—those that are able to bring back the train of associations which gnided that brilliant spectacle when the east and south battery was crowded with beautiful women, and the long array of gay carriages and music and conversation blended their attractions, in the cool of the evening, as they took their way for nearly a mile in suc cession; but, particularly, those who can re call the bombardment of Fort Sumter, can never be oblivious of that scene when the combat drew crowds from the most distant parts of the city to witness the fight, the whole eastern face of the battery lined with anxious spectators following the ricochetting of the balls, with flashing eyes and excited tones—who, we repeat, can recall these cir cumstances with any other than feelings of sadness in the contemplation of the present aspect of the city, and at witnessing the con trast presented after five years of a desolat ing war. not only in the present stillness and solitude of the scene, but in the social revolu tion that has blasted the fortunes and marred the prosperity of those who now move over it. Let us, however, dismiss this unpleasant phase of the subject, and record a few of the particulars of a siege and conflagration with- 1 out a parallel in the history of the world, when so much that was left standing by the ravages of shell and shot was consumed by the flames. Commencing from the Battery, and pro ceeding down East Bay until reaching Tradd street, the destructive course of the shell thrown into the city was most evident, while the fire has left melancholy traces of its de structive course on both the eastern and western portions, crossing its entire width, and leaving long intervals of desolate waste in the destruction of churches, theatre and public hall. The area consumed was about one sixth of the city, nearly one mile in su perficial extent. It is, however, gratifying to perceive that no part of the handsome western suburb, commonly designated as the Rutledge avenue, and the houses to the west of it down to Ashley river, have been-injured by fire or shells; and it is no less a subject of congratulation that improvements are in con templation among other portions—the erec tion of a hall, a theatre and several commo dious stores, with the widening of streets, which will greatly add to its embellishment •nd renovation. The following is copied fminriiiHMiiik nmsmmamtaHfMai THE RADICAL PRESS AND IRCHR- TARV STANtfON. It Is aMuing to observe the attempts of some of-the Radical newspapesB to. reconcile Mr. Stanton’s late speech to a serenading party at Washington with the; Viewft held by the Radicals in Congress. Chagrined at the supposed defection of one whose loyalty they dare not question, not a few of them assert that the serenade was originated by the President, himself,, for the purpose v of king out” the members of .his Cabinet who had not distinctly', defined their - positions upon the matters at issue between thh two- wings of the Republican party—that is, to make them show their hands; and. they do not hesitate to characterize it eg '“a dirty trick of malignant ..efibmies, putting on [the garb of a friendly compliment to fore e^ the •— suspected members of the Cabinet to expres sions ofofnnionDn political questions 1 'that would furnish Mr. Johnson the opportunity to dismiss them.” This ridiculously absurd idea of unfairness op the part of the Presi dent shows with what intense disgust the enemies of reconstruction view the late speech of Mr. Blanton. It is reasonable to suppose that the Johnson Club,” under whose direction the serenade waa given, is not composed of men so devoid of intelligence as not to know perfectly well what they were doing, and what manlier of- response they would receive from the prominent gfcntlemen they honored.- If they had desired certain of the Cabinet dismissed they would not have made the opportunity for them to make re sponses to their music favorable to the Presi dent's policy, as was the case with Mr. Stan ton, against whom it was alleged the con spiracy was concocted. The leading Radical paper of Ohio, evidently alarmed by this un expected development at 'Washington, and unwilling to part company with Mr. Stanton, commenting upon his speech, says: . Mr Stanton stated that he was not convinced thpt » THE inn ROAD WEJECT VO internal Revenue rAit'i A.rery important mailer Is at present dr- pending before (ha United States Uiilfict Cam*, whether the Westemjfud Atlantic R*»lroad (the State road), which we believe is wholly owned by the State of Georgia, is liable under the United States Revenue laws for Internal Revenue tax., A bill has been filed by Gov.

He questions the jpolioy of the third section of the reconstruction amendment of Congress. Many members of Congress do the same, and there is a doubt ol its passage. That section dis franchises for four years air who engaged in the rebel lion.” These are strange and unexpected admis sions from the chief organ of the Radical party in Ohio. They go -to prove that even the extreme Radicals, some of them at least, are wheeling into the conservative line, and the policy of the President being endorsed, reluctantly it is true, by those who have here tofore bitterly denounced it. We had ex pected they would withdraw their favor from the Secretary and denounce his endorsement of the President in unmeasured terms. U. 9. DISTRICT COURT, SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA, MAY TERM 1806. BEFORE THE MON. JOHN ERSKINE. from the Charleston News, as presenting an outline of one of the contemplated improve ments: ' - — “A Laudable Enterprise.—A number of our public-spirited citizens contemplate build ing a handsome block on the square bounded by Meeting street, Qneen street, King street and Holbeck’s alley.

The third floor will be surrounded by a spacious gallery, and will be appropriated to society and Masonic halls, academies of art and design, photograph gal leries, etc. * ‘It is further proposed, on the completion of the buildings and grounds, to transfer the latter to the city.” Freedmen’s Bureau Again.—A bill has been introduced into the House contin uing the Freedmeris Bureau for two years. The bill protects freedmen and refugees, and directs the appointment of two assistant com missioners ia sddision to those now author ized, who shall have charge of certain dis tricts. These cnmmissiooersAOd thsir subor dinates shall be under military jurisdiction and military protection. No person shall be deemed destitute or deserving of assistance who has capacity and opportunity of work. For the pupose of making the Bureau self- sustaining, the President is directed to re serve from sale or settlement under the home stead and pre-emption laws, and assign to freedmen and refugees not exceeding a mil lion acres of Sand In Florida, Missisaippi, Lousiana, Alabama and Arkansas, to be al lotted in parcels of forty acres each, at a cer tain rental.

He said he would merely- announce the judgment of the Court this morning, and at a future day would deliver an opinion on the questions of law regularly arising ia the case. In the course of hie remarks the Judge paid a handsome complement to United States District Attorney, Col. Fitch, and concluded by saying three of -onr most learned and emi nent jurists had contended against the con - stitutionality of the statute, and those aigu menta had been replied to by the District At torney in an argunment, distinguished for its originality, and characterized by the graces of tbe accomplished scholar, and .the unmis takable ability of the thorough lawyer The Judgement of the Court was as fol lows : “Upon argument had on the said mo tion of the petioner, Mr. Law, and after tall consideration of the matters of fact and of law involved in the motion, it is ordered and adjudged by the Court that the act ol Congress, approved January twenty-fourth, eighteen hundred and sfxty-five, no far as it was intended to apply to this case, is re pugnant to tbe Constitution of the United Statas. “Motion granted."
