THURSDAY, JUSTE 7. 1866.
To ocr Country Friends.—As much interest is
It throughout the country in regard to the pros
pects of the cotton and other crops we will be grate
tul to our planting friends and others in the interior
for information on that subject. Those who have op
portunities for obtaining valuable information in
regard V > the growing crops, the working of the free-
labor system, andTtindred matters, of general interest,
will confer a favor by communicating the same to us.
EUROPE AMU MEXICO.
There is no change in the aspect of affairs
in Europe. The news is still threatening aDd
warlike. No steps have been taken of a
practical character with a view of settling
the difficulties. The Austrian authorities are
putting the whole arm}' of the Empire upon
a war fooling, and the first order has been
issued to the troops by Marshal Benedek,
expressing full confidence in the army, and
in the justice of the cause for which they
were about to draw the sword. Prussia is
equally determined, and has abandoned all
ideas of adjusting the controversy in a pa
cific manner. This shuts the door against
further negotiations, unless it be reopened by
the mediation of some friendly power—a
thing not likely to occur in the present pos
ture of continental affairs.
This state of things gives a new phase to
the Mexican question. If a war does not
take place it will prevent Austria from ren
dering assistance to Maximilian, as she will
need all her troops to withstand the shock ol
Italy and Prussia. She cannot afford ar
mies to prop the throne of Maximilian, nor
money to fill his coffers. The House ol
Hapsburg will be obliged to husband all its
strength lor home purposes. The great
stake will be in Europe, not in Mexico.
Austria humbled in Europe means Austrian
interests abandoned on this continent. If
events should compel both France and Aus
tria to withdraw their aid from Maximilian,
we think it is clear that he cannot hold the
reins of governmental authority in Mexico.
The revolutionary element, assisted indi
rectly by the United States Government,
would be too powerful. Cortinas and Santa
Anna, and a host of other adventurers, would
excite the people to rebellion and stimulate
their hostility by all possible means. In this
manner the peace ot the nation would be
still further disturbed, its business pros
trated, and its resources crippled or destroyed
until Maximilian, disgusted with the condi
tion of affairs, would abdicate and leave the
country as he found it, in anarchy and pov
erty.
THE FENIAN MOVEMENT IN CANADA.
The advices by telegraph respecting the
operations of the Fenians on the Canadian
border hav^been thus far too vague and con
tradictory to determine with certainty any
results further than that aome fighting aDd
bloodshed had actually occurred on British
soil. The latest report is that the small in
vading army, cut off from reinforcements
and supplies by the naval forces of the
United States, had, after destroying all
superfluous arms and ammunition, divided
into bands, with tlie intaniioft*** *■—■♦rating
railroads, canals and
other property in the capacity of raiders in
stead of a fighting army. The routes to. be
pursued are of course not mentioned, but
it was expected that a reunion would be ef
fected at some strategetic point, where the
fighting would be renewed. The Canadian
General was rapidly concentrating British
troops to protect the border and pursue the
different detaclimeuts of Fenians.
Many of the Brotherhood in this cily ap
pear not to be at all dismayed at this intelli
gence. and believe that the entire movement,
which has been the cause of so much excite
ment, was only a feint to attract attention
from other and more vigorous attacks upon
the British strongholds in Canada. Whether
these predictions will be verified remains to
be seen. In any event it is certainly to the
credit of the Brotherhood that the present
movement has been in great contrast with all
that preceded it. There were no proclama
tions and no disturbance in the form of
public meetings. The period chosen to
make a start was one in which there was less
thought by the general public on the subject
of Feniaoism than at any other time for a
year. The campaign was projected by Gen.
Sweeny, of the Roberts wing of the Fenians,
and has encountered the active opposition of
Air. Stephens, the “Irish Head Centre." He
objects to these movements, as he alleges, as
a waste of the resources which should be
husbanded for a |?low at the right time in
Ireland ; but the impetuous desire of his
countrymen to strike at the traditional foe
in any form which may be the speediest,
cannot be restrained, however much he may
desire it should be, or however injurious he
may proclaim it.
It is apparent that the authorities of our
own government are taking action, under
the requirements of the neutrality law, to
defeat the plans of Gen. Sweeny, and the
difficulties which are imposed make the
whole affair very hazardous to those adven
turing upon it. The Canadians have been
terribly frightened, and regular troops and
militia have been brought out in great force
to repel the invasion.
THE SUPREME COURT AND THE MIS
SOURI TEST OATH.
paper publishes a corres-
, Hogan, of Missouri; and the
bhnson, of Maryland, relative
M| the United States Supreme
Court, which yet holds under advisement the
case of Cummings and another person against
the Missouri test-oath, not yet having made
public its decision. Mr. Hogan alludes to a
speech made by him in St. Louis, in which
he said that the Supreme Court had decided
against the test-oath, which has been denied
by Governor Fletcher, of. that State. Mr.
Hogan therefore asks the opinion of Mr.
Johnson as to his knowledge of the action
of the Supreme Court in the premises. Mr.
Johnson, who was counsel in the two cases,
in his reply to the inquiry made by Mr
Hogan, statea unequivocally that the Su
preme Court did decide that under the Con-
atitution no State could pass any bill of
attainder or tx post facto law, and the failure
to announce the deciaion waa not because
any one of the judges constituting the ma
jority then doubted upon the question, but
that it waa mainly owing to the fact that the
Judge aelected tp give the opinion had not
time before the cfoae of the term to prepare
■uch a one aa the Importance mod gravity of
the question required. Mr. Johnson has no
doqbt the opinion will be delivered at the
next term.
THE COMMERCE OF CHARLESTON.
[Editorial Correspondence of the Nsws and
Charleston, June 2,1866.
Charleston has seen its palmiest. days of
commercial prosperity, when its share of the
direct trade to Europe enabled it to build
those extensive warehouses that made it es
sential for storing those increasing quantities
of merchandize which Charleston, from its
geographical position, rendered so convenient
as the depot for West India products intended
for the European market, and European mer
chandize designed for West India consump
tion. It was at this period that those very
large structures were erected on our lower
wharves, called Geyer’s stores, on Roper’s
wharf. It would be convenient to divide the
history of its commerce into two epochs:
1. The period before the Berlin and Milan
decrees, and
-■ The period subsequent to those meas
ures which resulted in the war of 1812.
As a consequence of the neutral position of
the United States, a large share of the carry
ing trade waa thrown into the hands of the
Americans, soon after the breaking out of the
French revolution, and the Southern ports
were made the depots, as we have said, of
large quantities of European and West India
merchandize. The produce of the latter,
their bulky products—sugar and coffee—re
quiring a large amount of shipping, being ex
changed for the manufactures of Europe.
Charleston, from her proximity to the former,
became a convenient half-way house for the
supplies indispensably necessary on both
sides. She enjoyed, consequently, a lucra
tive commerce from 1792 until about 1807,
when the embargo and non-intercourse acts,
followed by the war of 1812 took place. This
was the great dividing line before and subse
quent to this period.
On the return of peace in 1815 the inter
course with Europe changed its character.
It received its direction from the extended
culture of cotton and the system of internal
improvements, which gave rapid development
to our agricultural resources. The exports
of Charleston, when not consisting of foreign
productions, which sought an outlet through
her convenient port, consisted, in most part,
of tobacco, indigo, deer-skins, beeswax, &c.;
they now were composed of cotton, rice, Ac.
These- more bulky products were struggling
for an exit through the ports lying on our
Atlantic seaboard, the commerce of our gulf
ports not yet having received that extension
and profitable direction that it afterwards
took. The cotton of South Carolina and
Georgia sought the means of transportation
and outlet to the most convenient sea-port,
which was Charleston.
The writer distinctly recollects, as must
some others, that it was to the persevering
and persistent efforts of Alexander Black and
Tristam Tupper that the longest line of rail
road connecting Charleston with Augusta
and the interior of Georgia was completed,
and the exports of Charleston assumed that
magnitute which they afterwards reached.
The class of merchants and the character of
both its inland and foreign trade had in the
interval entirely changed. The long line of
wagons that brought to the doors of the re
cipients supplies of tobacco and indigo had
given place to the iron horse and the steam
boat; the country store-keeper for the supply
of the wants of the interior to the merchant
exporter of valuable products, who removed
his establishment from the upper part of
King street, where he had erected spacious
stores for the increasing wants of his busi
ness, to East Bay—the class of new mer
chants who were ushered in by the cotton
if the profit? were oclasi^^^xiSJ^ 0 , 1 ?’
losses were of a commensurate character.
The class of merchants who grew out of the
direct foreign trade of Charleston with the
ports of Europe, arising from the neutral re
lations of the United States, had withdrawn
from business or were dead at the period to
which we refer. The Russells, Crafts, Win-
tlirops, Tunnos, Hasletts, Hazlehursts, were
replaced by those who were connected with
the indirect trade through Northern ports—
with the shipment of produce through New
York and the business of foreign exchange
through the same channel connected there
with.
The commerce of Charleston has under
gone a great change since—not in character
but extent. Cotton still forms the bulk of its
exports —the staple of its production. From
the removal of the blockade to the 1st of
June her exports have not exceeded 89,760
bales. Business has taken nearly the same
channels. Many new firms have superceded
the old ones both in the export and domestic
and inland trade, and it is conducted on nearly
the same principles—the shipper of cotton to
Europe draws either on Liverpool or Havre,
and sends his bill to New York, the great
financial centre, for sale. Our imports are
made through the same channel, the princi
pal difference in the character of onr foreign
trade being that from the destruction of our
bank capital the business of foreign exchange
has fallen into private hands.
The receipts from customs in Charleston in
ten months, from July 1, 1866, were rather
over $300,000. Dutiable goods in warehouse
about $35,000. If the amount and rate of
duty are compared before and subsequent to
the war, it will be seen that Charleston has
not declined in its foreign trade, except as
regards its exports. To the best of onr recol
lection the amount received "Tor duties on the
average of some years before the war was
$500,000, while the average rate of duty was
nearly 50 per cent., particularly when it was
recollected that the present duties are pay
able in gold, and especially when it is borne
in mind that the season for importation had
closed. These afford encouraging signs of
the revival of the foreign commerce of
Charleston as far as importation is con
cerned. As relates to the exports, it is need
less to say that they depend on the demand
and supply of our staple products. C.
Tax publication of Dr. Cooper’s report
the condition of Mr. Davis’ health, and 1
protracted incarceration in the bomb-proofs
of Fortress Monroe without arraignment or
trial having induced manifestations of ]
lar reprobation at the tforth, the New
Tribune, with its characteristic duplicity, is
endeavoring to relieve its party in Congress
from all blame in the matter, and to shift the
responsibility on President Johnson,
plying to an article in the World on the
ject, the Tribune says:
“The World is perfectly aware of the notorious fact
that Congress has had no shadow of agency in Mr
Davie' arrestor incarceration. Mo reward for hie cap
ture wae ever offered or prompted by that body, or by
either branch of it. Mr. Davie was arretted and is
still imprisoned on a charge of complicity in the assas
sination of President Lincoln, publicly and solemnly
preferred by President Johnson.”
After reciting the proclamation issued
President Johnson in May of Inst year, ol
ing a reward of $25,000 for the apprehension
of Mr. Davis and other prominent Confede
rates fay alleged complicity in the nesast
tion of President Lincoln, ths^Tribune

ified. Mr. Davis tx not and could not be held aa a
prisoner of war, since the restoration of peace has
been officially prcolaisned; he is a prisoner of State,
under the charge above cited, and ought ere this to
have been arraigned dr the accusation vrltteSrawn.
With what reason then fa Congress called eta to In
terpose and virtually inculpate President Johnson as
a torturer? The matter is clearly executive in its
character—Congress has had nothing to do with it,
and cannot intermeddle withoet virtually arraiguing
the President as a malefactor. This we trust it win
never do.
According to the Tribune, Mr. Davis has
been confined in Fortress Monroe for more
than a year on the mere suspicion of complicity
in the assassination of President Lincoln, while
the testimony to establish his guilt or inno
cence has been in possession of the radical
Directory at Washington. CoAment, which
from us would be out of, pi ace, is unneces

Col. W. T. Thompson—Dear Sir: I noticed s
paragraph in your paper asking the planters for infor
mation in referencqto our present growing crops. On
my little farm in Pierce county, I have aome seventy
or seventy-five acres of cotton planted, and I have
been trying to cultivate it with the freedmen, hut I
hud that in their present condition, as the weather be
comes warm and the grass begins to grow, they will
not work, and I have to depend upon white labor to
tend my crop. I have a-planting interest also in
Brooks county, Georgia. I have just returned f
there, and I find it the same thing there. Several of
the most respectable planters in that county told mo
that many of the planters had been obliged to gfye up
a portion of their crops to the grass, for the re,
that the freedmen would not work. I am in receipt
of a letter frqm a friend in Emanuel connty, who
states that there is almost a failure of crops through,
out the country, and that the planters isf general are
plowing np their cotton and substituting oom in the
place. Youts truly, C. 8. Y.

Meeting of the Freedmen on Sunday
In pursuance to prevfoug arrangement, a very
multitude of the Freedman of Augusta and
assembled, on Sunday, at Springfield Church, for the
purpose of hearing the mission of Gtons.
and Fullerton, and rendering their testimony in
reference to the working of the Bureau, their condi
tion, etc., etc.
Gens. Steedman and Fullerton, accompanied by
Gen. Tilson, arrived at about 1 o'clock, P. M., mil
were escorted to seats within the Chancel rail, after
which there was music by the choir.
The music having ceased, one of the Stewards
of the Church introduced the Cpmmissioners to the
assemblage.
Gen. Steedman delivered a brief addresss, the gist
of which was, that he and Gen. Fullerton were making a
tour of inspection through the South, in obedience to
orders from their superiors. His object was to ascer
tain the colored man’s opinion as to the management
of the Bureau—whether or not its officers had dis
charged, and were discharging their duties, and how.
The report he would make would be based upon facts,
as developed before him. What would be done with
the report he knew not. He desired to arrive at the
truth, and sought the opinion of those who had
been slaves all their lives. He wanted a candid ex
pression on the part of the Freechnen, and directed
them to elect five persons, who should represent
them and set forth their convictions on the subject
engaging attention.
A vote was taken and resulted in the choice of Wm.
White, Samuel Drayton, Charles Frazier, Moses Gard
ner, and R. T. Kent. They spoke in the order of elec
tion, and the substance of their speeches was that the
Bureau was “a good thing,” much to be desired, and
long to be retained—retained, indeed, said one, until
the letter “d” is made to disappear from the word
Freedmen. The Bureau was the pillar that upheld
their schools, churches, hospitals and orphan houses.
Take it away and all these would fall and perish. The
Bureau was the freedmen’s doctor, lawyer, father—all.
Without it, justice could not be obtained. The civil
courts deal hardly with them. They are ignorant,
know not the law, cannot defend themselves in court,
and the courts having no patience with them, their
chances for justice are rather lean. Some said that, as
a general rule, their former masters were kindly dis
posed towards them; that it was the lower class which
disturbed and troubled them, and that through envy.
The orators having taken their seats. Gen. Steed
man addressed a few concluding remarks to the mul
titude—con selling them to be quiet and orderly, faith
ful and industrious, and all would be well.
tier. Tilson said considerable feeling had been ex
hibited among certain people, in relation to the ceme
tery difficulty. He repeated the tacts in the case, as
before appeared in these columns, and asked the col
ored people if, now, they did not think he was then
right.
As far a9 we could compare the vote, aye and nay,
the decision was in the affirmative.
Gen. Tillson taking his seat, the meeting was in an
appropriate manner dismissed.
In making the above report, we have not attempted
to give the speeches in hill—only the leading ideas.
The statement is plain and unvarnished, onr object
being justice to all Augusta Chronicle.
The following is an extract of a letter received in
Charleston dated Darlington, C. H., June 1,1866:
“The crops of cotton in this district continue very
uiqiromising—bad stands—the cotton plants very
small and backward for the season, and crops gene
rally very grassy, and the labor very inefficient. The
negroes don’t do half work, and are doing worse than
ever.”

WasaiMTOK, June 6.—Mr. Charies O’Connor, senior
counsel Ibr Jefferson Daria, had an interview this
morning with the President and Attorney General
Speed, in reference to tho case of Mg. Davis;
It is understood at the State Department that a con
tract Raa beetf made by the French Government with
the Trans-Athutic Steamship Company to transport
the first detachment of French troops from Meahio to
in October, Marshall Bazsine accompanying
Ike President has issued a proclamation for the
pnrpoea ot maintaining the public peace and toe na
tional hgbor, in which be warns all good citizens from
lUtng or abetting the unlawful expeditions- off these
ev& disposed persons against a nation with which this
Gorenunent is at peace. The President authorises
all magistrates and other officers of the United States
to ezsrt their authority lo defeat all unlawful proceed
ings and bring the offenders to justice.
Gen. Meade is, also authorized to use military force
the carrying out of the expedition against
Gan. Hooker hse issued orders to intercept all Fe
nians. Seven! hundred were caught in a high gale
which prevailed off St. Albans. They were without s
oommandar and seemed about to invade Canada on
their own hook. They were poorly armed, and de
pended on the citizens for food.
Washington, June 6.—By direction of the President,
Attorney General Speed haa issued a circular to the
0. & District Attorneys and Marshals, instructing
them to arrest all prominent leaders and conspicuous
parsons called Fenians who have been or may be
guilty of violating the neutrality laws.
The Fenian prisoners at Buffalo have been released
by the Government, the men on their own recog"
nizance, and the the officers on five hundred dollars
bail, all to appear at Canandagua when required, and
to subacribe to a pledge that they will not take up
arms.
Official advices have been received here which
leave no doubt that a large body of Fenlana still
threaten Canada.
There is a great alarm in Montreal. There is a
monetary panic and a run on the savings banks for
gold at a high premium.
