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 ceeds: of his ' popu- r York Re- i sub- by , offer- ) assassina- I pro- 'SgagjgpMSs 1 mere thane *ted nor quel year ago, aadteSUa 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 sary. [COMMUNICAXglk.] Georgia, PixBca Couaxr, done 4th 181 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. By Telegraph. the fcni an failure. fife 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.” FVNEBAL INVITATION - The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mr*. A. T.

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.

It was believed that all will assent, although the reply of Austria had not been re ceived. Kossuth was acting iu concert with the Italians and endeavoring to excite a Hungarian revolution. The large arrival of specie from America had caused a better feeling and a reaction had set in on the London Exchange. The consent of Austria to the proposed European Congress has not yet been given. Reports were current at Prague that Prussian troops were advancing on the frontier, and that KosButh was concerting action with Italy and endeavoring to raise a revolution in Huugary. The Paris Bourse closed buoyant Lord Conly had been summoned from Paris to London for consultation. It was expected that the Congress of the Powers would assemble on the 5th or 10th of June.
