I*"Am w'Wfr*i SB HBSK Savannah News amp Herald, BY 8. W. MASON. SAJllKL W. MABON Editor. \V. T. THOMPSON Associate Editor. Official Paper of the City. lamest CIRCULATION in the city AMO county - TO ora Cocutbi Fairsos-As much interest in it throughout the country in regard to the pros- pects of the cotton and other crops we will be grate tulto our planting friends and others in the interior lor .uformation 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 interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. the crop prospect. The recent discouraging accounts which have appeared in the Southern journals of the condition of the growing crops, and ol the destitution and want which are expe rienced in many districts of the Southern States, are creating in thoughttul minds the most painful anxiety respecting the future welfare of our people. If it is indeed true, as indicated bv the tone of our Southern ex changes, that the yield of the growing crops of both grain and cotton null be vastly con tracted by causes which have been already explained through the medium of the press it is not improbable that many communities in the South will be overtaken by a calamity scarcely less to be dreaded than that of war itself. * And even now a scarcity of the ac tual necessaries of life is being sadly felt in several districts, and grave apprehensions exist that actual famine may ensue. The people have no money, and in mam places they have planted large cotton and small grain crops, and the former is repre sented as next thing to a complete failure. Louisiana and Mississippi have, suffered greatly by the high water and the consequent damage to crops, while in other States the crops have suffered materially from the con tinuous wet weather. It follows, therefore, that the South will be largely dependent upon the Northern and Western States for breadstuff's. But, unfortunately again, it is announced that there is every indication that the grain yield in the North and West will not reach much more than one-half a crop for the present season. If this is true, prices will consequently be higb. The facts we have stated are not as agreeable as we would ha' e them, affording as they do, good ground for fears expressed by many that there is ahead, for with a failure of crops, no iy,;and high prices elsewhere, much suf- eventually fall upon the poorer TffB oTORM M C fey the telegraphic news whic] ibis raorningHt wfll bgaeen that the cloud in Eurofee la black tod pireausniog,’to a degree that it would seepn affiaoet a miracle if the vivid light of warded riot leap from its bosom before the next advices reach out shores. The dissolution of the conference accepted by the belligerents and neutral ■powers with a view to the paciflcation of Eu rope, and the official declaration by Prussia, that Austria has been guilty of a flagrant breach of treaty obligations are facts clearly indicating that unless the belligerents . settle the difficulties themselves, which may be considered, impracticable the inauguration of war is.inevitable. When three different pow ers, with coterminous boundaries, suddenly recruit tbeir armies to the full standard, and mobilize them for instant service—and a fourth proceeds to strengthen its position while it looks on, as France baa been doing, we may conclude, notwithstanding the efforts of diplomacy to avert the calamity, that there is but one alternative, which is war. Three armies of such magnitude as those of Austria, Prussia and Italy could not long menace oue another without proceeding to the limit where menaces usually precipitate an eruption. Even so strong a baud as that of the Emperor cannot, it appears, refuse what becomes inevitable. His mssterlyskill in trying to combine diplomatic movements for ulterior ends, may easily be brought to nought by the passions which break out in the gusts of violence, as displayed by Prus sia in her reflection upon the honor of Aus tria. Then Russia is reported to be arming, and Turkey is filling up her ranks likewise. The war clowd lowers over the whole cen tral portion of the continent, and the war spirit seems to have infected the very air men breathe. This cloud of war, under the dispensations oi Providence, may all blow over, after trail ing its sallow edges across the continent; or it may burst in desolating wrath npon the thrones which still suppress the impulses of a dissatisfied people. The crowned heads may think it their war, because the plotting and counter-plotting has been theirs; but it is quite as likely to result in their having been made instruments for the people's op tunity. This is a new age. Absolutism does not hold the key in Europe, at least to modern progress and civilization. It has been ap parent for a few years past, that sovereigns are powerful chiefly as they do the popular will. This would show that the upheaval ot all things is in the people’s behalf. They will of course be the sufferers, but theirs, it is to be hoped, will be the permanent advan tage and reward. By TqUagrapli. LATElt FROM EUROPt. ‘ ? WAR INEVITABLE. The Proposed Conference Abandoned. THE POWERS PUTTING IMMENSE ARMIES IN THE FIELD. Cotton Declined. New York, June 16.—The City of Paris, with Liver- pOoT dates of the 5th, via Queenstown the 6th, has ar rived. The Conference was abandoned, consequent upon the demands of Austria, which rendered the media tion of neutral powers an impossibility. The nentrals have broken off all negotiations, and it remains for the belligerents to negotiate among them selves or inaugurate war. It is believed that hostilities will commence in the Aha dntchies, and that the Austrians' great move will be to seize Silesia. Prussia will probably commence the war, and has sent circulars to the neutral Powers, charging Austria with a flagrant breach of treaties. The Prussian army comprises 452 battalions of in fantry, 320 squadrons of cavalry, and 1,086 field pieces of artillery. The Italian volunteers number 95,000. The Austrian army now numbers 900,000 men. It is supposed 35,000 will operate against Prussia, 26,000 against Italy,' exclusive of the reserves reported. If PruBSia seizes Holstein, the Anstrians will cross the frontier. Spain’s forces have been augmented to 85,000 men. The London Times declares all hopes of peace hifre vanished. The Government Reform bill in the British Parlia ment was referred without discussion. The impres sion is that it will be withdrawn, but there are no such indications. LATEST VIA QUEENSTOWN. Berlin, June 6.—Prince Frederick Charles leave# to-morrow for the headquarters of the Prussian army in Silesia. Florence, June 6.—Great excitement prevailed in Venice, owing to a forced loan and the refuaal of the municipality to co-operate in collecting, it.

From Washington. Washington, June 16.—The Senate was not in ses sion. Nothing of interest in tne House but unim portant political speeches. W. W. 8eaton, for many years editor of the Intelli gencer, and ex-Mayor of the city, died to-day, aged cighty-one. Jas. Hampton, member of Congress, died at his home, in Brooklyn, N. Y. The mother of Senator Sumner died in Boston, aged eighty-one. The President has pardoned Gen. Geo. Mancy, of Nashville, and Wade Keys, of Montgomery, Ala., late Assistant Attorney General of the Confederate 8tatcs. The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce has rec ommended Congress to pass an act to relieve the China and Japan steamship line for stopping at Honolula, by which ten days are lost each trip, and suggests the propriety of subsidizing a line of small steamers be tween the Sandwich Islands and San Francisco. The Russian telegraph fleet has gone North. The re port from officers is highly encouraging. be denied that the Southern are themselves largely responsible for this state of things. For, not withstand ing the repeated admonitions of the press to plant less cotton and more corn, a majority ofjthem have been guilty of the criminal folly of pursuing just the opposite course, seem ingly indifferent to consequences which in the event of their occurrence, must over whelm them with sorrow and self-reproach But the vital question to be considered now is, what can be done at this late hour lo avert partly, or wholly, it practicable, the impending catastrophe? The great error committed by the planters, in reversing the true policy of making the production of breadstuffs the desideratum, was detected too late to be repaired by planting additional quantities of eiitiei «r>rn or wheat This bein'* the case, it devolves uP'-= c ve ry farmer, whether he cultivates five or five nu.n„~ acres, to plant largely of potatoes and peas, the season two esculentsbe a total fall- _ ulTint |1 i liTTiTm crop, with a propitious sea son sufficient of these articles may be raised to keep body and soul together, until the maturity of the crops of the succeeding year. i-xoM Mexico. —Vera Cruz advices of Jline 1. and from the City of Mexico of May 28, announce that Maximilian arrived at the lat ter place on the 19th ult. Thirteen persons have been imprisoned at Accordada, charged with implication in the death of Baron d'Huart, the Belgian Commissioner at Rio Frio General Reguelles was in force at Mi- choacau. An attack on Tacambaro, by Ronda, Garnica, Gonzales, and Olivares was expected. Some of Corona’s men had armed a vessel to prey on merchant vessels in the Gulf of Cortez. Communication with Ma- zatl&n had been cut off. The town of Her- mosillo was captured on the 4th ult. by Gar cia Morales, together with the garrison of two hundred and fifty men and forty French men of the Foreign Legion. Only three of the latter are left alive. A French priest and two French residents W’ere also killed. The French account sayB the Liberals were after wards routed, and one hundred and fifty killed. The Liberals, under Varges, occu pied the town of Fula, the garrison escaping. The Liberals were much encouraged by the correspondence between the United States and France. It is said that Maximilian is prepared for the withdrawal of the French troops. Pardoned.—Upon the recommendation of Senator Pomeroy, who made a personal ap plication to the President for the pardon of Lewis M. Coxsetter, of South Carolina, a pri vateersman during the late war, toe latter has received the desired Executive clemency. This is the first and only case of any officer of that condition having been pardoned by the President. On the application of Admiral Shubric, United States Navy, Gov. J. Madison Wells, of Louisiana, and others, the President also di rected a warrant of pardon to be issued to Lawrence Rousseau, of New Orleans, La., for the part taken by him in the late rebel service. Mr. Rousseau once occupied the eminent position of a Commodore in the United States Navy.

The three lari named were released at once, on ac count of their families with them on the haciendas. They were compelled to leave, and give parole not to' return so long as a military poet was established there. They were, however, allowed mutes to carry off theft household effects. The "Eubesla” Leo. A Washington letter of the 13 th save Charles O’Conor and ex-Govemor Pratt had another long interview with the President to-day on the subject of the release of Jeffer son Davis. The indications are that the efforts in Mr. Davis’ behalf will not be sue cessful, and, despite the assertions to the contrary, there is good reason to state that there has never, as yet, been any probability of Mr. Davis being release*} from confinement. Homicides.—The Hawkinsville Dispatch says that a man by the name of Barrs, a carpenter, was killed at Dykes’ Station, M. k B. R. B„ last Friday evening, by another man named Ades.

The Commercial says: A Mrs. Garrett, living abont six mites from Warm Springs, has been visited and robbed fourteen or fif teen times since fee war commenced. Lari week a fang of ten persons made a descent upon her prem- aes, compelling the servants to hitch up the oxen, and the rascals loaded two wagons with the furniture and property. Just as they were about leaving a man happened to pass, who saw what was being done, and pushed forward abont two mites when ha met a squad of soldiers who happened to be passing through that region aud informed them. They came back, sur rounded the hbuse and captured nine out of fee ten who were engaged in fee robbing. Four of the scoun - drels were Tennesseeans, and two of the gang proved to be women In men's clothing. The prospects are they will bs tried and banged. Mrs. Garrett is a very worthy widow lady. We trust all snch gangs will share the same fate. Bold Speech from a Maryland Representa tive.—A special dispatch to the Charleston Courier dated on the 14th, lays: “Mr. Harris, of Maryland, made a bold and extraor dinary speech in the House to-day. He maintained the right of secession, and said the South had exer cised that right, and were now foreign States. He said he would vote against tbeir representation. *• During this extraordinary speech, Mr. Harris said that though fee Cenfoderau standard had been low ered, the standard of Southern pride was as high as ever. He said the fact feat theft soil covered the bones of three hundred thousand of their invaders was not calculated to lower theft tone. He also said that Johnson was Illegally President, because he wee a citizen of a foreign State. He likewise denounced the military trial and exeautian of Hra.
