To oua Coukthy Fbixkds—A* much interest is It throughout the country in regard to the pros pect* of the cotton and other crops we will be grate ful to our planting friends sad others in the interior for information on that subject. Those who have op-, port unities for obtaining valuable Information In regard to the growing crops, the working of the free- labor system, and kindred matters, of general interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. DPEMStl OP THE CENTRAL RAIL- 4 ROAD TO MACON. According to announcement in the News axd Herald, the Central Railroad Company yesterday commenced the running of regular trains between Savannah and Macon. A preliminary train was run successful}* on Tuesday, under charge of Mr. O. Reneau, and found the road ingood condition. Yesterday the first public up train left here, according to the schedule, with Capt. P. Whalen in charge. It had a good number of passengers and considerable freight. The first down train left Macon at 7 a. m., Mr. Geo. M. Dean, conductor, and arrived here on time last evening, with two passen ger cars, tour freight cars and a baggage car. This train passed the up train at Milieu, both on tair time, and making good trips. The dinner-house there is under the charge ol Mr. It. H. Gray, of great renown, long known in that connection- We clip tbe following, with much gratifi cation, from our able contemporary, the Ma con Telegraph : The arrival of a passenger train through from Savannah about 1 o'clock, p. m, yes terday, created quite a pleasant sensation among our citizens. We congratulate tin Company on tbe completion of their labors, and hope, npw that tbeii road is in running order, they will reap a rich harvest, and be compensated, in part, at least, for their im mense losses. Trains, we learn, will run through regu larly tr-m this date, two per day, tbe nigh train to make a close connection with tin morning trains from ibis city. Now mat the great Central is completed and direct communication once more estan lished with the seaboard, we hope to see ai early revival of business and social relation? between tbe people of the two sect ions. Lei ail the jealousies and heart-burnings of the past, if any, be forgotten, and let Georgian of all sections be a united and co-operating acrifices of tbe past and lb oWwa of tbe present should steel that nothing can sever iraah we send greeting: May with the sails of every clime and her merchants and tradesmen grow rie. from tne treasures that shall be poured into their iap9. She is yet beloved by the people of Georgia, and has only to be true to herseli to restore her fallen fortunes and prosper even more abundautly than she did in the past. With all the care that it is possible, amid the multiplicity of duties and labors devolv ing on the editors, it is impossible always to avoid the admission of exceptionable expres sions, or even objectionable sentiments, in the columns of a daily newspaper. When such oversights occur, our own mortification is mitigated by the reflection that sensible readers judge us by the general tone of our paper and not by such exceptional inadver- iancies. THE mu At HE wftvonof co: We find published itt full, k th* Ne* York papers of the 8th inst^ the final report of the .Reconstruction Committee, whieto was sub mitted to the Senate by Mr. Fessenden on the 6th inst. - . - _ . , The most important conclusions presented Official Paper Oi tile Cityare, first, that the President had no power, after tha fall of the Confederacy, except to execute the laws of the land, and to establish, as far as he could, a system of government; that all his acts were those of a military com mander, he having no authority under the law over the subject of reconstruction. Se cond, it is assumed as beyond dispute, that the people of the “Rebel States" had in fact withdrawn from the Union, and made them selves subjects of another government. The Committee, therefore, decide that the South ern States are not at present entitled to repre sentation in the Congress ol the United States; that before allowing snch representa tion, adequate security for future peace and safety should be required. To this end they offer a joint resolution for amending the Con stitution, and two several bills, designed to carry the same into effect. To prepare the Northern minu or me fa vorable reception of the recommendations of tbe report, and thus insure tbe ratification by the Legislatures of the proposed amendments to the constitution, the committee labor dili gently to show thit tbe Southern people are still disloyal, and that their professions of fi delity to the Government of the United States are deceitful and untrustworthy. They say that the Southern press, with few ex ceptions, and those mainly of newspapers recently established by Northern men, abounds with weekly and daily abuse of the institutions of the loyal States, defends the men who led and tbe principles which incited tbe “rebellion,” and strives constantly and unscrupulously, by any means in its power, to keep alive the fire of bate and discord be- tween tbe two sections. In short, the report Is nothing more or less than a bill of indict ment, with a multiplicity of counts, framed oy an ingenious attorney against eight mil lions of people, concluding with a prayer lor conviction and punishment. We confess tuat we have read this extraordinary paper with regret and sorrow. Whilst certainly turee fourths of tbe people of tbe South are teting in the best faith under the new obli gations imposed by the trying situatiou in which they have been placed by the fortunes >t war, they are stigmatized by the national Jongress as insensible to honor and as lios- -ile to the Union, they are doing their best io restore. Every excess at the South is charged to the generat account of- Southern society, instead of the locality and iudivid- lal where and by whom the wrong la com mitted. The effect of this is both dishearte ning to Southern interests and shamefully unjust, and as the concealment of truth, next io the utterance of falsehood, becomes a crime, those in high places who indulge in dther at the expense of their neighbors will tie held to a fearful responsibility for the wrongs they do. Those who have watched the course of events since the surrender of Gen. Lee know iliat the great body of the people of the South have not only acquiesced in the fact of ihe complete overthrow of the cause of seces sion, but have manifested a purpose to do all in their power to restore law, order and prosperity to the subjugated sections of coun try where they reside. This fact is so true that there is hardly an exception to it. It is not only true of men like Lee, Johnson, Beauregard, but of men likA Hampton, Hill, and all tbe second class leaders of the armies of the South. It is true of the late Senators and Representatives of the Con federate Congress, true of tbe members of the Confederate State? Legislatures, true of the great body of citizens in and out of office. Ail classes of these men are support ing the policy of the President, content to give up slavery, to give up secession, and to own the full force and power of the Federal Government. The very impulsive indepen dence of the Southern character which hastened so many States and people into the vortex of bloody conflict has made the vast majority of the Southern people equally honest in their stipulation to act fairly with the Government. Whilst they own that they have been overpowered they feel that they are entitled to justice, and therefore demand it. Not one in a thousand contemplates any purpose hostile to the Federal Government- The great body are seeking for opportunity and means to get upon their feet again. The difficulties are great and the obstruc tions are many; but there are no greater ob structions and no worse discouragements than are found in the abusive misrepresenta tion, criticisms and renewal of old hatreds so, glaringly exhibited in the report of the Re construction Committee—hatreds and criti cisms which, we sinoerely trust, do not rep resent the voice of the great body of the peo ple at the North. It is surely to the interest of the North and of the whole country that a generous policy should be pursued towards us. We speak not of ths promise of President Lincoln that peace should be had by the lay ing down of onr aims; of the assurance of General Grant to General Lee, when inviting hie capitulation, that all his Government wanted was peace; or of the thanksgivings for peace in which the people united at the close of hostilities. Why not give ns that peace 7 Why not take away from among ns all the paraphernalia of war, and give ns our equal places in the sisterhood of States? Why not accord to ns, as well a s to' others, those rights and all those inducements which stimulate industry and enterprise, and of which no people can be in greater need than we? Why not attach ns to the Union by hooks stronger than of steel—generous and kind treatment? Why not help ns, ye men of the North, or at least why not allow u£ to grow strong, that we may add strength to the nation, and to grow rich, that we may add to the wealth and revenues of the Government. To effect all this it is only necessary that tbe people of the North should treat the South with kindness and respect, and be con scious to themselves of doing so. It only needs that they should abandon all idea of damaging her equality in the association x>n which they have so naolately insisted. It only needs that in Constraining her people back, they tell them, as President Jonnaon does, to bring their manhood with them; that they do not Want them eviscerated of their manhood and self respect, as- contem plated by the action of tbe committee. Abandon tbe notion awl rebuke tbe fell spirit of hatred now actuating’ your leading statesmen, for it is a great mistake, that the South is in a condition to bear up under such severity of treatment. * Oh the Contrary she needs, after the flni|M»g that have befallen her, friendly MfitoUBCO, (|nd without it, poasibly, the will be of little value to any one for a long tiUMt pot away aa inconsistent with raftrefod pledgeb sqd forbidden by- stataAmanaKlp, -And ffcea£ fore opposed to honor and interest, every measure, ^whkbtobde to (hereto ore South, the promises under which you waged'the war and all will be well. Rxsubbected Confederate Torpedoes.— A few days since, while making some hydro- graphic explorations in the Ogeechee river, a gentleman who was formerly in the Confed erate service, and in that capacity as sisted in putting down torpedoes to protect against incursions by the Federal navy, dis covered five of the formidable machines in the exact position where they had been left. Three of the five were in good condition, and on being taken up, the powder in them was found dry, and the exploding apparatus in tact. We mentiou this fact on account of its scientific importance, as showing the dura bility of the marine explosive contrivances invented under the exigencies of the late war. Sabdersville Georgian. — We had the pleasure of a call yesterday from Mr. John N. Gilmore, editor and proprietor of tbe San- dersville Georgian, an old established and ably conducted weekly paper, published at Sandersville, Washington county. Mr. Gil more visits Savannah for the purpose of in troducing his paper, which enjoys a large circulation in tbe counties of Washington, Laurens, Emanuel, Johnson, Burke, Jeffer son and other counties on the line of the Central Railroad, to our merchants, as a me dium through which to make .known their business to the people of that section of the State. We commend the Georgian to their favorable consideration. *‘Taxe no Fenians Prisoners. "—Such, in the fewest of words, is said to be tbe order issued to the British troops in Cana da. It is a command worthy of the darkest ages and of the most despotic governments. Take lo prisoners, means kill all in your power—give quarter to none. Such bar barity would call down upon the Canadians the execrations of the civilized world, and strengthen the Fenian cause even against the British Provinces. The Test Oath in Mississippi.—Judge Hiii, of the U. S. District Court, recently de cided at Oxford, Miss., that the Test Oath was unconstitutional, and ought not to be exacted, from. Buy member of the Bar who had been admitted to practice in the Court. He declined to bear any argument oo the sub ject, having previously examined it. Thus f*r, in every Stateln tbe South except Florida, where Judge Frazer has decided that it is un constitutional, has this odious test oath been set aside. Probable Release of Jefferson Davis. A Washington dispatch, dated on Friday, Buys; The Cabinet held a very brief session to-day, all the members being present ex cept Mr. Harian. It is believed that the President communicated bis intention to re lease Jefferson Davis on parole, which, it is said, was acquiesced in by all except two members of the Cabinet. ^ A Tribute to ihb Ladua op Bsatihcbe.— In New Orleans they talk about the Confed erate prisoners erecting a monument in each State Booth to the ladies of Baltimore, with such an inscription aa this: “We were hun gry and they gave us meat; we were thirsty and they gave ns drink; we were strangers and they took us fh; we were naked and they clothed us; we were in prison and they came unto us,” The Shootib* A*y*av atTIboxa.vill*.- .

Screven, President of the Atlantic k Gulf Railroad Company, which we publish in another place. It contains a clear, though brief statement of opinions long entertained by ourselves. We claim to be somewhat fa miliar with the general condition of tbd The Sunken Confederate Stbaker Nash ville and Steamer Water WV«ch.—We are informed that a Contract has been entered iuto by parties in this city with the U. S. Government lo raise the old Confeder ate steamer Nashville, sunk in the Ogeechee river in 1862, alter being fired into, while lying opposite the Middleton plantation, with 730 bales of cotton on board. The sunken steamer Water Witch, captured from the Federal navy on Vernon river, and subsequently scuttled, is under contract to be, raised by the same firm. Progress of Radicalism.—A “Soldiers’ Convention, ’’ held at Pittsburgh, Penn., last week, adopted the following, among other resolutions: Resolved, That the loyal majority of Congreaa de serves our gratitude; -that radical evils require radi cal remedies; aud that the nation should take no atep backward in the inarch to the grand destiny that sure ly awaits unfaltering, persistent adherence to the cause of equal freedom." It is stated that a member of the Conven tion who declared himself in favor of the elec tion of Clymer, the coppery candidate for Go vernor, was hustled out of the Convention, retiring amid a storm of hisses. IncomWax on Sales of Cotton The following which we copy from the Newnan Herald, embraces official information of interest to all interested in the subject matter referred to—that is, the Income tax on sales of cotton: Treasury Department, 1 Office Internal Revenue,Washington, May 19.) Sib:—Tour letter of May 13th, addressed to Hon. Secretary of the Treasury, in relation to income from ealea of cotton in 18«k>, has been referred to this office. I reply: That there are numerous instances in the law where two or more distinct taxes are impoeed upon the same receipts. For instance, the manufac turer pays a tax on ail his products, and a license tax for the business of manufacturing, and in addition an income tax on his net proht*. Other example* might be adduced to show that it ia not contrary to the spirit of the law to impose two or more taxes upon the same gross receipts. The payment of the tax of twooantoper pound on cotton, does not therefore reUeve the owner from pay ment of income tax on his income from tbe sale of such cotton. Such tax of two cents per pound may, however, be deducted from the gross income at tbe year when it was actually paid. It appears, however, that you sold, your cottou for the market price lets such tax. You should therefore return as income the price actually received, without further deduction for such tax. The law expressly requires all produce of the estate, sold during tbe year, to be returned as Income.— Therelore the time when such produce was raised can not be taken into account. The amount of produce sold by the temer each year, Is on an average, equal to the amount raised for sale, and hence no injustice arises from this provision of the law. Very respectfully, D. C. Whitman, Deputy Commissioner. To Sam'1 Freeman, Esq., Newnan, Ga. A Oabe fob Indictment.—The Bichmond Enquirer calls the attention of the Grand Jury to the case of judge Underwood, of whom it says: •'In order to save the sum of three cento on the let ters he writes, and in order to frank radical docu ments at a saving of two cents to his judicial pockets, Judge Underwood assumes to frank, as a senator! He baa ihus franked multitudes of docu ments and of letters, and defrauded tl)* Federal trea sury of considerable sums thereby. He hat dearly no more right to frank those letters and those documents thas we have to frank our* and this newspaper, and he has lees excuse; for be is getting as Judge a large for a aervice that Is neither a: toons nor. bril- administered.

Nor Our ■pi _ the Alexandria _ dKif i fhe'~Jedf* ia right to frank, and y*t he forwards his matter without demanding prepayment He, too, needs to be taught ^‘Wilf the Grand Jury look at this matter ? If Judge Underwood denies the statement we will undertake to find the proof" : ' Money Ovrcsmqif to CoNTRAcrion.—The 'W^ah iugton correspondent of the Baltimore Sip gay 8; It is well known that the great Body afkh* bankers and financial mtn of Me North ngdaintsll Mainif—t legislation that can diminish the amount of paper cur rency, which they contract far their own bendit, and to the injury of the country. They are. very dei why, .emdmbyitm gnpt»itM : by State of Florida and the neegsdities and thad. ststens proposes to admit the wishes of her people, and we are assured that the completion of the “connection” will be hailed by nearly her whole people with joy, as tbe best and speediest means of relieving them from their present state of commercial and social isolation. The people of Florida are essentially agri cultural, and though they have shipping ports, like Femandina, Jacksonville, St. Marks and Cedar Keys, no one of them af fords a convenient market or capital suffi cient at present to concentrate trade, and consequently the trade of the State is dissemi nated among a number of small towns, scat tered at the termini and along the line of her railroads. The connection which is lo cated most happily for concentrating the mass of the traffic of Florida, must produce a great change in the commercial habits of the people, bringing them, as it must, into easy communication with the iqpst prosperous shipping port and largest market on the South Atlantic. They will inevitably, and, we believe, gladly, send their $10,000,000 of produce to Savannah, where they can com mand ready shipment and ready sales at the best figures, and where they can make choice and cheap purchases for family supply. Our business men will readily understand such advantages, and that they must have a great effect on the prosperity of this city. It has beea demonstrated by the effect of the At lantic & Gulf Railroad, in bringing to Sa vannah tho traffic of Southern Georgia, in which respect w€ think this Road has been of more importance to this community, lo cally, than even our Great Central Railroad. It has given a greater impulse to our local trade, simply because tbe people of Southern Georgia sell aud buy here principally, while me people of upper Georgia buy and sell at Columbus, Macon, Atlanta, Augusta, where the merchants give high prices for pro duce to enable them to sell supplies to the planter. It is for this reason mainly that Savannah is merely a shipping point for Upper Georgia. But the trade of Florida moat, for the reason that there are no large markets in the State, contribute to build up the local business of Savannah. We state this in no covetous nor invidious sense, for it will work a great gam aud no lose to the people and to the mercantile in terests oi Florida—the effect of all railroad enterprise being to distribute as well as to concentrate capital. We hope the appeal of Col. Screven will meet with a prompt and liberal response from our citizens, who cannot fail to appre ciate the immense advantages that must re sult, not only to Savannah, but to our sec. tion and the country at large, from an im mediate completion of a line of road which will connect this point with the railroad sys tem of the Peninsular State. With the means required, Col. Screven assures us that the work can be completed and the road put in running order by the 1st of October, in time for the transportation of the next cottoncrop. In view of this fact, we cannot doubt thlat our citieens will act efficiently and prompt!^.

REPRESKXTA TIYES OF TENNESSEE. Washington, Jane 13.—In the Senate today Mr. Doolittle called up the resolution offered by him yes terday, requesting the President to communicate to the Senate any information in hie possession relative to the departure from Austria of troops for Mexico. He said he had reasons to believe tbe resolution would bring Information of a vary satisfactory character. He felt confident that Mexico was about to be evacuated by the French troops. Tbs resolution wa* adopted. The legislative appropriation bill was considered. Tbe House proceeded to the consideration of the Constitutional amendment, as reporte^fom the Be. construction Committee, which had heretofore passed the House and was amended by the Senate, referring to the basis of representation, the repudiation of th# Confederate debt, etc. Mr. Stevens proposed, and the House attempted to debate the subject for a short time, speeches being limited each to fifteen minutes. Mr. Stevens closed the debate, saying tbe amend ments were not snch as he desired, as they did not re cognize the right of the black man to vote. He, how ever, trusted that something on this subject would be accomplished by future legislation. He took occasion to stigmatize the President as a usurper, in under taking to establish civil government in the seceding States. Under his demand for the previous question, the House concurred in the Senates amendments to th* Constitutional amendment, by a vote of 120 to 32. The Speaeer therefore announced the joint resolu tion passed. Several gentlemen announeed their reasons for the absence of their colleagues, who they said if present would have voted for the proposition. Mr. Eldridge, as a take off upon those gentlemen, ■aid that if Brooks and Voorhees had not been un seated, they would have voted against the proposi tion. (Laughter.) Mr. Schenck retorted by saying ha (tad no donbt if Jeff. Davis was a member of tbe House he too would have voted against the amendment. (Laughter.) On the Republican side the vote consolidated the Re publicans of everyihade.indudiitg Smith of Kentucky, Raymond of New York, and Whaley and Lathrop, of West Virginia; the negative, being composed wholly of decided Democrats. - The proposed Constitutional amendment will now be submitted to tbe legislatures of the respective States for their action. Mr. Stevens proposed a substitute for th* pending bill reported by the Reconstruction Committee, to en* able the States lately in rebellion tqjregain their privi leges in the Union. The material point in the substi tute is the admission of Tennessee with her pretent senators and representatives. But she is hereafter to be excluded unless, before the first of January, aha ex tends the right of suffrage impartially to every class, besides ratifying the Constitutional amendment to which reference is above made. REPORT OF GENS. STEEDMAN AND FULLERTON. They Recommend the Restitution off the Sea Islands to their Owners. Washington, June 13.—Generals Steedmsn and Fullerton have furnished to the Secretary of War their report of the operations of the Freedmen’s Bureau in the military departments of South Carolina and Florida. They highly commend Gen. Scott, the As sistant Commissioner in South Carolina, for the wise policy that pervades his system of governing and feeding the freedmen. They recommend the discon tinuance of employment of citizens ia the Bureau and instance several cases of the evif effect of the agents being interested in the working of plantations. They finally recommend that the tea island lands given to negroes by Gen. Sberma?** order be returned to th-t- owners, provided they. pay the freedmen for all im provements that the latter have made while in posses sion of the property. Charles O'Connor and Ex-Gov. Pratt had a pro tracted interview with the President this afternoon, with reference to the release of Mr. Davis on parole. The President has pardoned Louis M. Coxetter, of South Carolina, late officer in tbe Confederate Navy. Senator Pomeroy made personal application in his favor. Representative Green Clay Smith was nominated to-day for Governor of the Territory of Montana. About an hoar after the nomination had been sent in, this professed political friend of tbe President voted for the constitution al amendment, to which it is known the President is firmly opposed.
