To oue Country Friends.—As much interest is
o!t 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 iuterioi
for information on that subject. Those who liavo op
portunities for obtaining valuable information in
regard to the growing crops, the working of tho frcc-
abor system, and kindred matters, of general interes.,
will confer a favor by communicating the same to us.
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
We have noticed with pleasure the account
of a recent meeting of the colored popula
tion of Perry county, Alabama, held to take
under consideration the question of the edu
cation of their children. It is stated that
resolutions were unanimously adopted ex
pressing the most 'pleasant feelings toward
their former owners, and pressing the duty
of the colored population to cultivate kindly
relations with the whites. A committee was
appointed to confer with a committee of
whites relative to the improvement of theii
children, who were instructed to pledge the
support of the colored people, with all the
. means in their power. Several of the speak
ers, all colored, says the account, spoke in
the most feeling manner of their new rela
tions to the whites, and advised their eo-'
lored friends, that as they were now free to
act for themselves, it was for them to decide
1 heir own destiny. Every speaker expressed
a preference for competent teachers from
their own midst.
This is indeed a commendable spirit, and
speaks well for the good sense of these freed
men: and, as a cotemporary says, it is a hap
py contrast with the action of some of theii
brethren iu other parts of the South, nndei
the lead of bad or fanatical white men.
Since writing the above, we discover tin-
following article iu the Augusta Constitu
tionalist, which shows that a similar educa
tional movement lias been inaugurated in
that city:
Schools for Freedmkn.—•Quite a number
of respectable colored men—representatives
of the colored churches of this city, assem
bled in the court room of the City Hall yes
terday, by invitation of the Justices of the
Inferior Court of Richmond county, for tin
purpose of expressing their views on the
subject of the education of the colored chil
dren.
The Court proposed to establish two
schools in the city, and provide competent
teachers lor the instruction of the colored
children. The schools to be subject to the
same rules and regulations as the free schools
tor whites.
Several colored men gave their views, and
appeared pleased with the proposition of the
Court, but the Northern teachers would re
turn in the fall, and a large number of colored
people had promised to scud their children
lo them, and felt bound to keep their pledges.
They hoped, however, that the Court would
establish the schools as proposed-
Alter some furl tier consultation, during
which the Court advised tho colored persons
present to think the matter over and delibe
rate fully on the subject, it was decided to
adjourn to meet again so soon as the colored
people had determined what course to pur
sue.
The colored mon present spoke with de
cided ability, and evinced a strong desire to
cultivate good feeling with the white citizens.
They were assured that it was the object ot
the authorities to afford them every opportu
nity to become good members of the com
munity, and to place within their reach the
means to attain the end.
We hope soon to see the schools estab
lished and fully attended by the class for
whose benefit they are intended. If the
missionary teachers return in the fall and
wish to resume their schools, we can sea no
objection to uuy colored persons sending their
children to them, if they prefer them over
the free schools to be inaugurated by the
county. Our duty is not dependent upon
the conduct of any other State with ref
erence to the education of the people
with whom we have been so long associ
ated, and whose lot is still with us notwith
standing the change in their status.
PATRIOTIC SENTIMENT OF A RE
PUBLICAN.
Wc have just finished reading the speech
delivered by Mr. Raymond, of New York, m
the House of Representatives, a short lime
since, in which he vindicates the policy
and defends the character of the President
against the malignant attacks of his oppo-
poneiits in Congress. It is, in our judg
ment, the most forcible and decided address
he has yet made upon the great topics of the
day. The main purpose of Mr. Raymond
appears to be to prevent a final breach be
tween the President and the dominant party,
and a rupture between the Radical and con
servative Republicans.
It is known that Mr- Raymond has been
acting lor months in the character of a peace
maker between disagreeing parties, and as
he has been under the necessity, at tlie same
time, of speaking and votin B on the various
questions raised, be baa had to trim his sails
with uncommon care and adroitness to avoid
being regarded as the peculiar friend or
,-nemy of cither faction. To abate the vio
lence and rancor of the Radicals, and to en
courage the hope and to cultivate the pa
tience of the moderates, and thus prevent
a split, seemed his object.
Whilst we do not approve of his partisan
tactics, which display more of the politician
than the statesmen, we cannot but commend
the many excellent sentiments and brave
words iu the speech before us. He boldly
asserts that Congress ought now to admit
such of the Southern representatives elect as
can take the oath, and that at an early day
that oath should be either repealed or modi
fied, so that men “ who were drawn into the
rebellion, but are now clearly shown to be
loyal, may, when elected, be admitted into
the two houses of Congress. He expresses
the opinion unhesitatingly, thnt the changed
temper of the Southern people in the last
six months, if true, as alleged by H e many
Northern politicians, is due to the hostile at
titude and coercive measures of Courr.-ss.
He asks:
“Will they change their opinions 1.. caii-e
wc refuse them representation? Will they
love its with nil their hearts because we deny
them all participation in our and their affairs ?
Will they become converts to our principles
because we deny their right to bold others?
Will they deem us models of courage because
we brand their dead sons, who perished in
their eause, as cowards, and denounce ns
felons the weeping women who strew flowers
on the graves of their heroic dead? We can
know little of human nature if we dream of
these results."
After elaborating this branch of his sub
ject with much force and feeling, which de
AFFAIRS IN MEXICO.
The Emperor of Mexico, like tho poten
tates of Europe, is just now- in a labyrinth of
trouble. The intelligence from our Western
neighbor continues to be favorable to the
Liberal cause. Juarez and his followers have
been gradually recovering territory, until
many inland towns and cities have been re
stored to Liberal sway. Matamoras is once
more threatened, and Mejia, it is said, yield
ing to the requests of the merchants of the
place, purposes evacuating it and falling back
with his command to Monterey. The Libe
ral General is hovering about the town, with
the hourly expectation of occupying it. The
recovery of Matamoras would be au impor
tant success for the Liberals, and stimulate
them to put forth still further efforts for the
expulsion of Maximilian.
There is but little doubt that Maximilian
is at present hampered and embarrassed for
the want of funds as well as troops. It has
bas been announced in Europe that he has
called upon Napoleon for fresh financial as
sistance, declaring that unless it be forthcom
ing he will be compelled to abdicate. A
batch of diplomatic correspondence between
Napoleon’s Secretary of State and the French
Minister in Mexico, has just been made pub
lic, and contains some matters which throw
light *upon the financial condition of the
Government. Under dale June 14th, 1365,
tbe former writes to the latter that “the finan
cial difficulties of which the Mexican Empe
ror complains are not new, and we have re
peatedly attempted to provide fof them by
facilitating loans which have put at the dis
posal of Mexico considerable amounts of
money. But now every attempt to borrow
hat, been found fruitless. Mexico being un
able to pay for the troops we are keeping upon
its territory, it would be impossible for us to
maintain them there. As I told you, public
opinion bas pronounced with an authority,
from which there is no appeal, that tbe limit
of tbe sacrifices had been reached.
One day previous to this, Drouyn de 1 Buys
had written'. “The advances we have more
(ban once made cannot be renewed, and the
E uperor will ask no new sacrifices from
France. The desire of His Majesty is that
the evacuation should begiu during the com
ing fall. Having received these instructions
from the home government, the French
Minister informed those in authority in Mexi
co that the evacuation must certainly com
mence.”
Now that Austria is in a condition to make
it impossible to reuder any aid to tbe preca
rious Mexican Empire, its destruction seems
to be inevitable. Hence it is-that the affairs
mouslrates clearly that his instincts, impulses , of His Imperial Majesty of Mexico are be
and principles of action are altogether differ- coming daily more gloomy and dubious,
cut from those of the extreme wing of his i

Jack Downing.—Letters of Major Jack
own party, Mr. Raymond continues:
Nations are like men. Communities are
but aggregations of individuals. If you treat
them kindly you make them friends. If yon
treat them with hostility, inevitably, and by
a natural law, they become enemies.

TIIE SAVANNAH AND MEMPHIS RAIL
ROAD.
It will he remembered that tbe City Coun
cil of Sayannah appointed, a few evenings
since, three of our most prominent citizens
delegates to a Railroad Convention to assem
ble in Columbus, Ga., on the 11th inst. The
object of the Convention is to assist iu devi
sing ways and means to accomplish the long
contemplated railroad connection between
Savannah and Memphis. The enterprise, if
carried out, will shorten the line of transpor
tation from one city to thc other fifty-four
miles, and will connect our city by a far
more direct route, with the lower Tennessee
navigation at Tuscumbia. We are much
gratified to chronicle thc probable success of
this important movement. Any project
which can cheapen th? commercial inter
course between this city and the stock and
grain growing and manufacturing regions of
the West should be fostered liberally by all
tbe great cities of the West as well as 8a
vannah.
Dr. Ceaven’s Book.—A correspondent of
the New York News, writing from Richmond,
says: Dr. Craven’s book, “The Prison Life
of Mr. Davis,” in attracting much attention
here. I have good reasons for believing that
its publication has seriously annoyed the dis
tinguished prisoner. Indeed, I have it from
excellent authority that such is the fact. It
is stated that much of the incidental portion
of the work—the conversations so circum
stantially jotted down are of that class, the
publication of which, however well intended
by the kind-hearted author, is calculated
rather to damage than to benefit the party
more immediately interested—at least with
the dominant party now running the Govern
ment. It places a weapon in the hands of
those who clamor for his blood, and who
would not scruple to distort truth into false
hood where such action would aid in the ac
complishment of their designs. Whilst tho
people o£ this section care very little for the
course which the politics of the nation may
take—under the guidance of a Radical Con
gress and the sfSflftil manipulation of the
Disunionists, who affected by wordy warfare
to be thc champions of the Union during ac
tual war—still they are keenly alive to every
thing which affects even remotely the dis
tinguished gentleman who was their agent
during the struggle for self-government. Dr.
Craven’s book will have a wonderful sale ail
over the country; but its publication at this
time is a source of serious annoyance to the
gentleman most vitally connected with it.”
The Radical Legislature of Connecticut is
the first to ratify the Rump Amendment to
the Constitution of the United States- Not
many weeks ago tbe people of the same State,
by a decided majority, decided against
amending their own constitution so ga to
(ire elective franchise to negroes!
■ * •
so philosophically presented by the distin
guished representative from New York. How
far the influence ot this speech will favorably
affect the Northern people generally, re
mains to be seen. But we have no hope that
it will have the least effect upon the destruc
tors in Congress. They cannot, and will
not see the subject in its true light, and | ; pokenof J thera j n 'tn 0 9t favorable terms
strange to say have thus lar, by sheer per
truth finds the firmest lodgment in thc mind
by an illustration or a story which seems to
rivet it. In this aspect they are still ser
viceable in calling to mind principles which
are too often overlooked. The-e Letters
have been republished in Europe, with com-
| pliiuentary notices, and our own press have
sistenee and party despotism dragged along
with them such men as Mr. Raymond.
Surely, if such Republicans as Raymond,
Seward, McCullough, Grant, Sherman, and
many others of equal prominence and dis
tinction. find fault with and disapprove of
the course of the dominant faction in their
party towards the. South, it cannot be said
that thc Southerners themselves are unneces
sarily disturbed by the threatening appear
ance of po litical events at Washington.
Confederates not Amenable to State
Courts. A trial of some importance, grow-
„:g out of events connected with the late
war, has just been terminated at Knoxville,
Tennessee, by the acquittal of the prisoners.
The parties tried were four in number, and
were, during the war, officers in the Confed
erate army. They were charged with mur
der in having, whilst sitting upon a court
martial, caused certain citizens of a State to
be hanged, toward the close of 1861. The
charge against them was sought to be proved
by bringiug their connection with this court
martial in evidence before the court. The
verdict, after a long and careful trial, has
been to acquit the prisoners, they ail having
been declared not guilty.
This case is interesting, says the New York
News, as showing that officers and privates
of the late Confederate army cannot be made
amenable to thc State courts for acts com
mitted whilst in that service, which were iu
the ordinary course of military law. When
these gentlemen were arrested a year ago,
Gen. Grant recommended their release on
these grounds- The State authorities, how
ever, refused to comply with this recommen
dation, and since that time they have re
mained in jail.
The New Tariff Bill.—The New York
Post, (rep.,) referring to the new tariff bill
now pending in Congress, makes some very
just remarks. The tariff, exoept on a few
articles, appears to have been raised from
thirty to one hundred and fifty per cent. On
some of the most necessary articles, as for
instance on manufactures of iron, this in
crease is so great that it will be felt as a very
heavy burden upon all the most important
interests iu the country. The railroad*
which transport the Western former’s produce,
the ships, which in building and sailing give
employment to a great number of our most
intelligent mechanics, will be made so much
more costly that their increase will be stop
ped, and freights must be enormously bur
densome. The proposed tariff is evidently
not for revenue, but simply for protection.
It is calculated to destroy commerce, to les
sen the revenue, to make articles of consump
tion more costly, to increase thus the cost of
of living to workingmea. We hope it will
be thoroughly examined in Congress, and
that there will be found men there true to
the great interests of the country, who will
expose the mischief which would result from
the adoption of such a tariff.
A New Political Feature.—It is stated
that the Governors of New York, Ohio, and
New Jersey have declined to call extra ses
sions of their respective Legislatures for ac
tion upon the newly proposed constitutional
amendment. The Governor of Maine bas
deferred to the majority of other States, and
thus it seems* to be agreed that the matter
shall substantially be left for the considera
tion of tbe people before it ia settled upon,
which is as it should be.
The Legislature of Connecticut, however,
hasmeted upon and ratified tbe measure with
out regard to the popular wishes of the State.

This volume, for a copy of wh> oh arc
indebted to Mr. W. J- roorley, Harper’s
Buildings. New York, through Messrs. Sta
Uy k Brothers, of this city, is cue of great
value to thc student of history, and will be
read with great interest and profit by all who
appreciate elevated and instructive literature.
The hook, which is published in Harper’s
best style, comprises six lectures, as follows :
On the Study of History,” I. and II.; “On
Some Supposed Consequences of tlio Doc
trine of Historical Progress;” “Thc Moral
Freedom of Man;” “On the Foundation of
the American Colonics;” “The University of

The author’s views on the subject of slave

liberal to the American slave owner, are

Eccentricities of the Cholera.—The
olrolera has made its appearance in Jersey
City, two cases having been reported by the
Coroner. In Elizabeth City, N. J., out of
twenty-one cases of cholera, there have been
nine deaths. Remarkable as it may seem,
the cholera appears to have given New York
the go-by, and passed towards Philadelphia,
only an occasional case having been reported
in New York for several days. This was the
route taken by it when it first visited this
country in 1831, not, however, until after it
had raged fearfully in New York. Iu 1849 it
approached Baltimore, and several persons
died of jt in a hospital located some two or
three miles from the city, but no cases or
deaths, we believe, occurred in the city.
The Weather North and South.—We
have had this season only a few days of un
comfortably hot weather, and during the
past three or four days the atmosphere
has been unseasonably, almost unooiaforta
bly cool. While we are experiencing this
extremely temperate temperature, we read in
the New York papers of the torrid Tartarian
intensity of the heat, suggesting a Plutonian
climate. On Wednesday last the thermom
eter in New York ranged from 93 to 98, and
the papers report ten or a dozen deaths from
coup de soleil, or sun stroke.
Thk Case or Mr. Davis.—A Washington
correspondent says tbe friends of Mr. Davis
have not' given up the idea of getting him
released »n parole. It is alleged by the coun
sel of Air. Davis that bis health is very poor,
and that a change Sr air will be more benefi
cial thantall the medicines of Christendom.
The President, however, has given no indi
cation that be will interfere unless it is put
on the ground of Mr. Davis’ feeble condition.
The report of the Surgeon, which is received
every week, is that he is gradually improv
