LAMEST SIMULATION IN TNE SITV AND COUNTY FRIDAY, JUKE 8, 1866. To oun 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 ful to our planting friends and others in the interior for into relation on that subject. Those who have op portunities for obtaining valuable information in regard to the growing crops, the working of the free- labor system, and kindred matters, of general interost, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. Cholera and Yellow Fever at New York —At the New York Quarantine there twenty-six new cases oi cholera on Saturday, and twelve deaths. The whole number of cholera cases iu hospital Satur day night was one hundred and four, ex clusive of the twelve dead just mentioned. Tho health officer, in liis report, says that the number of patients is rapidly on the increase, and that the mortality in hospital is also in creasing, a large number of the cases sent there being moribund. “Every foot of room on the hospital ship is occupied by tho sick and dying," and “the sickness on the Pe ruvian largely on the increase, and unless wc can transfer her passengers to some other place they must mostly die.” The Health officer (so-cal'ed) from whom wc quoted above, also states that a brig iias arrived from theWest Indies bringing a yellow fever patient, and having lost two of her crew with the disease on the. trip. The doctor says he does not know what to do with the yellow fever patient, as every place is full of cholera patients. The following little cotton item is given by the Washington special of the St. Louis Democrat: “It is understood that the Go vernment will lose between $100,000 and $500,000 by the operations of cotton specu lators at Memphis. The tact has been de veloped that upwards of $400,000 worth of Government money by some meaus was placed, last summer, in the hands of a man named Carleton, and by him used iu the purchase of cotton, which was then selling at seventy cents The cotton was consigned to a firm in New York for sale, when the price of the article suddenly fe'Nto forty-five cents, and the result was that tii,e firm failed and the Government lost nearljNjoOO.OOO. Considerable cariosity is manifested to learn by whose direction and by what authority the money was placed in Carleton’s hands for such investments.” The United States land tax now being col lected, is for the year 1861. After that year the law was repealed, and no real estate tax act has since been passed. The tax for 18C1 is one-third of one per cent—or three dol lars thirty-three and one-third cents on the thousand dollars—and ns we slated a few days'ago—is based on the assessment made by the State In 1860. The law exempts, from taxation, homesteads of the value of five hun dred dollars and under. Hence, any one whose land is hot worth more than five hundred dol lars pays no tax at all. There is at least one hope of a better state of things at the North. The strongest men in the Republican party are remonstrating, earnestly, against the action of the radicals in Congress. Judge Comstock, of New York > has spoken strongly against it, and Gen. Mnrtindale, Attorney General of that State, says, iu a letter to Senator Sherman: “The ia pSIC'Uy Cud nf.fiSe ot Repre sentatives involves the surrender of impor tant principles, and will be resisted. , The Union party will split upon it if it shall re ceive the sanction of Congress.” A Novel Enterprise.—The Pennsylvania Railroad has now under way a novel cuter prise. They have employed a first-class photographer to superintend the photograph ing of All the property of the company and <the various points of interest or of beauty along the main line and all its branches, Imv ing placed at the disposal of the artist a train of cars, fully officered, lor the work. RESTRICTION OF PO As on* of the unhappy C0nsequence* of the contest which haaarisen Retwfaat the execu tive and legislative Iwanahes of the Govern ment js thejnalicioua disposition manifested Viy the latter to abridge the powers of the former, the unscrupulous leaders of the Radical party, who for purposes of their own are seeking to bring about the centralization of all poorer in Congress, which they expect to control'for an indefinite period, do not hesitate^ to disseminate the idea that Mr. Johnson is only waiting for the adjournment of that body, wh*i he intends to begin a general expulsion from office of all who will not sustain his method of restoration. In their eagerness to trench upon the constitu tional prerogatives of the President, they passed in the Senate a few days since a re striction for this end, by incorporating a clause in an appropriation bill forbidding the payment of Federal officers who might be ap pointed during -the recess of Congress to suc ceed Radical incumbents removed for any great cause; but the outrage was so glaring that they hastened to reconsider the matter, and the restriction was rejected. Still intent, however, upon the accomplishment of then- purpose, Mi 1 . Henderson, of Missouri, subse quently introduced a bill which prohibits the removal of any man from office by the Presi dent, except by consent of the Senate. Even in cases of misconduct during tho recess ol the Senate, the President is only by this bill to suspend from office, and report to the Senate when it meets; and if that body fail to approve the suspension, or to confirm the nomination of a successor within thirty days, the person is to resume his office. No va cancy is to be recognized as happening during the recess, unless it shall occur by “death, resignation, expiration of term, or other ca sualty not depending on the will or action of the President.” There have not been' wanting attempts be fore to question the right of the President to exercise the powers of removal and appoint ment during the recess of Congress, and to limit these powers, but such attempts have always been political in their character, the results of party strife, and evidently intended, as in the present instance, more to serve party interests than to promote the great ends for which a national government was instituted. The third and most formidable attempt at a reduction of the patronage of the President is the one now before Congress, which pro poses a complete transfer of the appointing power from the President—where it has lodged since the foundation of the Govern ment who is responsible, to Senators and combinations of Senators, who are irrespon sible. It is only when the majority in Con gress finds itself iu opposition to the Execu tive that any objection is made to the unre strained use by the latter of the removing and appointing power. Whilst it cannot be denied that appointment to office should be made solely with a view to the interests of the public service, it is equally true that the President, who alone is responsible for the execution of the laws, would be impotent iu his executive character unless he is allowed to select his own instruments, and clothed with power to control them. Responsibility and authority necessarily go together, and it is repugnant to natural justice and incon sistent with the well settled practice of the Government, to exact the one without ac cording the other. This is a proposition so self-evident that to discuss it would be a use less consumption of time. By iTelegraph. rr m mu turn ,r fusuut iiimti HE RBFCBKS TO GIVE BAIL OR AC. CEFT A PAROLE. Col. Kerrigan Arrested and Escapes. THE FE.YIAXS MUCH DEPRESSED. EXCITING SCENES AT TORONTO. The Canada Invasion at an End. New York, June 7.—Prnfidcnt Roberts, Rf tfae Fe nian Brotherhood, was attested to-day. Declining a request to go to Marshal Murray's ofilcej he was brought beforo Commissioner /Betts. Mr. Roberts obstinately refused to accept ball which was tendejsd for him, and declined to give his personal parols, to appear, or to give hi* parole that he would not violate the neutrality laws. Be waa remanded to the custody of the United-States Marshal, with quartern at the Astor House. Ool. Kerrigan, ex-member of Congress, waa also ar rested, but subsequently disappeared. The Fenians hero Rro much dispirited. Special dispatches report large numbers of Fenians still hovering near the Canada border, bat no more fighting or invasion had taken place. The Canadians are still engaged in reinforcing- threatened points, and the United States neutrals are employed in chasing imaginary columns of Irish in vaders, but the arrest of General Sweeny and Presi dent Roberts ends the invasion of Canada. At Toronto an exciting scene and almost a collision occurred, owing to the accidental meeting of a few Fenian prisoners, under guard,/yith a funeral cortege just returning from the burial of some volunteers killed in the late skirmish near Fort Erie. Captain Bryant stated what he knew to ba falsa, that the offices of the United States officers ware closed an tile day of the rebel celebration in honor of the occasion. On that day it so chanced that the office of the Freedmen’s Bureau was open even later : than common, (sen- Tillaon remaining there himself until past live' o’clock. Gen. Brannan and Colenel " (s (A, A. o.) offices were open as usual. “ Cast Bryant is now utterly unworthy, the has pursued in Augusta has been snch as to ' fe between the races, and he has ever ex- jost pernicious influence. To men of his afenip the country is indebted for much of the oppo- sltioiY shown to the Bureau by the Southern people ip the country is indebted tor rauen ox me opp -nahown to toe Bureau by the Southern people. Capt. Bryant, in speaking of toe assault on himself, justly characterised by all goodcitiaeus as brutal and cowardlyf should have bad the manliness to state, that Then Gen. Tillaon heard of it he waited on the Mayor, who sent/or the City Marshal at once, saw that the man waa arrested, bis name stricken from the rolls of the poKoa force, and charges preferred. Be has since been bound over for trial at the next term of the Su perior Court fob assault with intent to kill. Gen. Tillaon is a most able and energetic officer; one of the few radicals in the army—snch an one as tbe Trlbunc should be the last to censure. But while radical, he is honest and true to his offle, endeavoring to do juatlOH to all, be they white or black. Assailed to he is by all parties, and surrounded by adventurers, who neutralise the good good effects produced by the Bureau, his position is by no meins a pleasant one UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT AT RICHMOND. Mo re Indictments Tor Treason. THE INDICTMENTS PUBLIC. NOT MADE GEN. BRECKINRIDGE SUPPOSED TO BE AMONG THOSE INDICTED. Richmond, Juno 7, P. M.—In the United States District Court to-day the Grand Jury presented several true bills. The Judge warned them against revealing the proceedings of their body, and said the names of parties indicted could not be made public until their apprehension. It is believed that several prominent officials ol the late Confederate Govern ment have been indicted for treason. Gen. Breckin ridge is said to be among the number. FRUCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. Important Decision of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Fisticuffs.—The Memphis Appeal of Fri day says: “We learn a difficulty occurred ai the Gayoso house, last evemng, between General Fisk, of the bureau, and a gentle man named Ridgelcy, which resulted in a resort to fisticuffs, from which the general was abouj, coming out second best, when three negro soldiers interfered and turned the scale in Ills favor. We were informed Mr. Ridgeley will publish a statement of the affair in a morning cotemporary, over his signature.” Collector of the Port of Savannah. —Hon. Joshua Hill was confirmed by the United States Senate on Tuesday last, as Collector of the Port of Savannah, vice Wylly Woodbridgc, Esq., resigned. Mr. Albert. Elmore was at the same time confirmed as Collector of Mobile. The Truth Told by a Radical.—The Rev R. J. Breckeuridge, of Kentucky, says the Philadelphia Age, distinguished during the war as one of the most active pulpit champi ons of the Federal cause, and temporary Presi dent of the Baltimore Convention which re nominated Mr. Lincoln, has recently written a letter concerning the future of the blacks to the Northwestern Presbyterian, in which we find this paragraph: “The great danger of this people is, that they will gradaally waste away in the strug gle they have now to make in competition with the stronger race for the means of existence—a danger in the face of which exorbitant and unprecedented claims on their behalf are as melancholy as they are preposterous.” THE OVERFLOW OF THE MISSISSIP PI—AN APPEAL FOR HELP. The New Orleans Picayune, in an article appealing for financial assistance to repair the broken levees on the Mississipi and Red Rivers, states that a district of country equal in area to some of the largft States of the Union is now the immediate subject of the nvertiyiw. .<ikO”‘V*L : rrtitr : t>r : tut ftrV'lSnTTS'iu Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana are now under water, and the greater part of the residue is menaced with overflow from the immense breaks already made in the levees The possible consequence wf this may be, without timely assistance from abroad, the loss to the United States of fully a third of its cotton crops and almost all of its sugar. The loss already sustained is enormous, and the destruction and suffering of a large number of the inhabitants, who have been driven from their homes by the expansion of the water, is of the most distressing character. The Picayune, in the presence ol this ter rible calamity, appeals to the press of the commercial cities of the Union, and through them to the Chamber of Commerce and the municipal authorities of their cities, to call attention to the request made by the Chamber of Commerce of New Orleans for their co-operation in the oflort made to in duce Congress to save the lives and property ol the vast population which is engaged in tho culture of the alluvial lands of the Valley of the Mississippi. As, says the same paper, this is the great highway of the nation; as its products and the markets it furnishes to the lest of the country form one of the chief sources of the nati on’s wealth; as the N§rth and West, as well as the Sonth, and not the white men only, but the negroes also, are interested vitally and directly in the perma nent rebuilding of the levees, we trust thut this appeal for National aid will be seconded by all, North and West, as well as South, and that aid will be freely accorded by Con gress. Washington, June 7, P. M.—TLe proceeding! to day in Congress are unimportant. Mr. Davis, of Ken- tucky, addressed the Senate against the reconstruction bill, and denounced the policy of the radicals. The radicals will endeavor to force a vote on their mea sure this week. There is no doubt of its passage by the required two-thirds vote. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue decides that interest and dividends derived from stocks are re garded as income derived from fixed investments, without reference to the time during which these stocks arc held; but when gains are derived from the sale of stocks involving interest received or accrued, bucli gains may be regarded as derived from business alone. The value of property used in business, less the amount of insurance, may be deducted when lost from gains and profit of business. Actio the Board of Metropolitan Health. New York, June 7, P. M.—Seguin’s Point has been seized by the Metropolitan health authorities, and ar rangements are making for the accommodation of the occupants of the cholera ships at quarantine. There is some apprehension of a disturbance from the in habitants of the Point. S. C— Fearful Tornado at Hamburg Seven Children Killed. Brani 'hvilli:, June C.—A terrific tornado passed through Bamburg on the South Carolina railroad, yesterday afternoon, between 3 and 4 o’cl oce; demol ishing a school house and killing seven childrek, four boys and three girls, and wounding nine others Trees and fences were blown up for some distance. A New Cooking Stove.—We call the atten tion of dealers to the advertisement of a hew cooking-stove called the “Home Comfort Stove,”of which Messrs. Morrison* Colwell, Troy, New York, are the sole manufacturers. It is strongly recommended for durability, dispatch, convenience, economy and beauty. Particulars are given in the advertisement. The Fenian Flag—The Fenlati flag, which has been designed for the armies of liberation, is thus de scribed by the New York World: “A white harp on a green field; thirteen lateral stripes, seven red and six white. The difference between the Fenian and tho United States flag consists in the substitution in the former of a harp for thathirty-alx stars. and of a green- for the blue field. The length of the ensign is one- third greater than its breadth. Those who have seen ths flag pronounce it a very handsome banner." The Deaf and Dumb Asylum.—The Rome Courier learns that the Deaf and pumh Asylum at Cave Springs, will be ready for the resumption of exercises by about the flrat-of Jifiy next.

Mr. Editor:—In your locals this morning you spoke of our city railroads, and said they were to be built at once, Ac. Now we want the railroads, and trust they will be built; but we understand the charter says they must be beyun before the middle of June, but can be ten years in building—a fine thing to start it by a few shovelsfhli of earth thrown out, and then stop until the charter can be sold out, if that were the intention of its pro moters. We understood when' the charter was granted that it was to be submitted to the people of Savannah to say whether they agreed to it, and as it has not been so left to them as yet, we would like to know if we are right or not. Can yon tell us ? We want the railroad, as I said; but we do not want any gammon about it, and if to be built let it be done at once. Give us light. W. 1 The National Intelligencer gives a severe rebuke when it asks, iu reply to certain bru tal assaults upon the fame and character of the ladies of the Sooth, now so common in the. radical papers—“What mao of honor or generosity would now seek to bring shame and hurt upon the wagoenof the South—the mothers and daughters lor adhering to the fortunes of their bnsbtdda and sons who were contending in arm* for that right of State secession that nearly every radical leader had before supported.” j? i —A New York religious shoot atn thot "Btouewafl” AmertC “ 1 ' who —A near tea million a»iu. forming ip Row x< - overwhelm ...

Incmndiaaism The plantation dwelling of Mrs. Thxrin was recently destroyed by fire, near Summer ville. The work was that of negro inoendiartos.

Several of the negroes were ar rested by tho military, when these tacts were sscer- tuned after a searching examination.

To the EdVor of ‘.he Army and Navy Journal: Sin—My attention haa- been called to an article in the New York Tribune of May lOth, which does gross injustice to Gaus. Brannan and Tillsou. The mistake the Tribune makes is in crediting the reports of the Loyal Georgian, a paper professedly devoted to tho interest* of the freodmen, but actually used by J. E. Bryant, ex-Captaiu United States Volunteers, ex-Aa- siutuut Commissioner Freedmen’s Bureau, now Attor- ney-at-Law, Freedmen’s Counsellor, and Editor-in- chief for his own advancement. Recently returned from Augusta, Ga., and cognizant of the facts iu the recent attempt to decorate the graves of our soldiers, I canuot remain silent while so untruthful au account is current. While no one will question that there are many outrages committed daily at the South, insults oflered to the liviug as well as the dead, it is our duty to he just. The graves of the rebel dead were decorated on tho 26tli ot April. On that night the lady teachers. of freedmen’s schools being together, one of them re marked, -Let. us get up a celebration ; have our scholars bring flowers, go in procession, and decorate our sobers’ graves. We’ll see how the rebels will like that." The ladies present favored the project, and ail agreed to request their scholars to briug flowers and unite in doing honor to the dead on the 28th of April. Next day in all the schools the schoehrs were invited to bring flowers, and strictly enjoined not to mention the purpose for which they were intended, it could not be kept quiet, however, and many hornets were made of how they’d take down tho pride of the rebels. It naturally excited much feeling, and the Mayor accidently hearing of it, called upon Generals Brannan and Tillaon to confer with them. He told them of the proposed celebration; that it had already occasioned ill feeling, and he feared would cause trouhje, and asked if it could not be postponed; that if they would wait a fortnight he would hinself assist in decorating the graves of Union soldiers. Whether in tended us an insoKtotiMaftiaeas or mot, the proposed celebration was caasidUred as snch.
