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 NEW BOOKS. 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. Downing, of the Dowuingville Militia. New York, Van Evrie, Horton k Co., 1866.

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. Lectures on the Stcd# of History—Deliv ered in Oxford 1859—61, by Gnldwiu Smith, M. A.. Professor ot Modern History in thc University of Oxford; to which is added a Lecture delivered before the New York Historical Society in December, 1864, on the University of Oxford. New York: Harper k Brothers. 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 Oxford.” The author’s views on the subject of slave ry, as expressed m his lecture on the “Foun dation of th« American Colonies,” are ortho dox for the time, aud though somewhat il liberal to the American slave owner, are somewhat jU9t iu assigning to his own Eng lish ancestors their full share of the responsi bility of tbe origination and propagation of the institution which he condemns 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 ing- Jefferson Davis.—It is said that ex-Gov. Pratt, gf Maryland, baa made application to tbe President to allow the friends of Jefferson Davis to visit him at Fortress Monroe.
