To ouit Counthy FaiKNDa.—As much interest is
elt 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
f or information on that subject. Those who have op
portunities for obtaining valuable information
regard to the growing crops, the working «>f the fit
sbor system, and kindred matters, of general interest,
will confer a favor by communicating the same to us.
THK WAR I* EUROPE.
• The latest advices from Europe are to the
23d ultimo. They communicate the fact that
the great combatants of Europe have gone a
step beyond the mere declaration ot war by
moving troops and exchanging blows. Prus
sia exhibits the most vigor, and has so fur
anticipated any movements on the part of
Austria. Her troops uow occupy several
towns in Saxony, including Dresden, the
capital, and a portion of Bohemia.
Austria was quite active in her military
preparations just before the actual rupture,
yet when the rupture came, Prussia hud oc
cupied the important positions named almost
before her antagonist knew her purpose. By
the prompt action which the Prussians have
taken they have not only enabled themselves
to draw supplies from States that side with
Austria, but they have saved their own coun
try from the desolation attendant upon the
theatre of war. In a collision which is said
to have taken place near Frankfort, a Hessian-
regiment is reported as almost annihilated.
§kOu the same day that Prussia formally de
clared war against Austria, the Italian Gov
ernment did the same thing. On that day,
also, the Austrians had commenced hostili
ties by crossing the Silesian frontier, and
subsequently bad a slight collision with the
Prussians. Italy is not inactive. General
Garibaldi, with his arm}', has assumed the
offensive with the same resolution that char
acterizes the Prussians. The Italians have
crossed the Mincio, and are now upon Aus
trian territory. Thus Austria is beset on op
posite sides by two powerful armies, which
necessitates a division of her military force.
The minor German States, which have taken
sides with Austria, must uow wheel into line,
and the great struggle will |tlien reach its
height, so far as the present belligerents are
concerned.
The intentions of France in connection
with the struggle, although unknown, excite
much interest. She denies, however, any
agreement with Prussia and Italy, but that
she maintains full liberty of action. Mean
while Russia is said to be massing troops
upon the eastern frontier of Austria, to be
ready for contingencies. Even England be
gins to feel the warlike breeze, and her Min
istry gives sign of dissolution. Indeed, all
Europe is trembling on the crust of an erup
tion, the shock of which will be ielt through
out the world.

Gek. Wm. T. Wofford.—The Augusta
Chronicle of Saturday says—We had tlie
pleasure of meeting in our city a day or two
since, Gen. Wm. T. Wofford, late an officer
in the glorious old army of Northern Virginia
The General is in fine health, and seems in
good spirits for the future- He has just re
t urned from Washington City, where he has
been laboring for the last two months to se
cure a supply of food and clothing for the
destitute poor in his section of the State.
We are glad to learn that he has succeeded
in inducing the Washington authorities to
order a large supply of uecessaries to be sent
to the needy and starving poor of North
western and Northeastern Georgia. These
efforts in their behalf will more closely en
dear the General to the people of those sec
tions, where he is now deservedly popular.
The General thinks that if the masses at
the North could be properly informed as to
the tone and temper of our people, all cause
for further distrust and estrangement would
vanish at once. He counsels prudence,
moderation and caution on our part as to’mir
action and utterance.
Gen. Joudo.n, chief editor of the Memphis
Appeal, has challenged M. A. Galloway, of
the Avalanche, to mortal combat. Tbe
challenge was accepted, and the parties re-
paiied to Hernando, Mississippi, where both
were arrested and placed under bonds. It is
thought tbe parties will go to Arkansas to
settle the difficulty. The challenge origina
ted from Col. Galloway writing a severe at
tack against Col. Jordon, on account of an
article written by tbe latter to Harper’s
Weekly, in which Jordon blamed Jeff. Davis
for the failure of the Confederacy.
A Southern Attachment for Sickles !—
Judge Bryan, of Charleston, has ordered an
attachment to be served on General Sickles
tor contempt of court. A writ of habeas cor
pus had been served on Sickles by the United
States District of Charleston, to pro
duce the bodies of Thomas G. Stevens and
others, under sentence of death, and confined
at Castle Pinckney. The Genera 1 refused,
on the group.* that the prisoners had beeD
convicted of murder by a court-martial, aud
that the writ of habeas corpus was and is sus
pended in South Carolina. Hence tbe at
tachment.
Georgians Pardoned.—The President re
cently pardoned the following Georgians, on
the recommendation of Mr. Joshua Hill:
James M. Brown, Simeon M. Brown, L. J.
Burney, Elison H. Cohen, Nathaniel G. Fos
ter, 1- S. Fannin, William S. Stokes, James
A. Wade, James S. Read, James N. Marsh
and Nancy Kolb, of Morgan county; Nathan
Whitfield, of Jasper county; Elias Jones, of
Twiggs county, and A. *Pharr, of Newton
county. . (r ‘
Cotton in Illinois.—The Charleston (Illi
nois) Courier learns from a gentleman who
has been'traveling extensively in the south
ern part of that State that a wide breadth of
cotton has been planted, which looks splen
didly, not withstand ; the backwardness of
tbe season. 0,it ^ iter alone has between
two hundred and nfty and three hundred
acres in cultivation. There are also s num
ber, of gins ready to lie put in successful op
eration as soon as the crop is ripe.
The Savannah Colleotoushik The
Washington correspondent of the Atlanta In
telligencer says : “ I learn that Col. Joshua
Hill will most probably decline the Collector-
ship of Savannah, the pay not being com
mensurate with the labor. There is now, if,
indeed, there ever was, no question, as I fur
ther learn, that this gentleman sustains the
President. Forney's statement as to his
negro suffrage position was simply like—For-
people who’ werr
liiical excitement upon tbe subject, the new
propositions call properly for more deliberate
action, ^ind tbe second reason is that,in view
of the fact that the Republican party is no
longer a unit in opposition to the rcconstruc
non policy of tbe President and Mr. Seward,
it is advisable to make it clear upon the face
of the transaction that thepresentnmendraents
when ratified are the inteutiorihl and well
considered act of the people of the "loyal
States, from which the .Southern people may
•xpecl no retraction or deviation. To rim
my Lazard upon this point might be fatal
to the future supremacy of Radical power.
Hence the importance of “making haste
slowly,” rather than tempt unnecessarily the
unknown perils of hasty action iu the lace
of an active aud vigilaut opposition.
The effort to misrepresent the President
aud to overthrow his policy while ptv .crying
the semblance of harmony, bns been toiled
by him with a completeness which has taken
the Radicals utterly by surprise Tlie reso
lution of the two houses of Congro-s re
questing tbe Presidents transmit to tlie Gov
ernors of the several States-tor the action of
their respective Legislatures tbe amendments
referred to. furnished the occasion of a prac
tical veto upoo^lie pet scheme ot continued
disunion.
Aud it whs this action of the President that
hastened the call of the conservative Republi
cans for the great Union Convention in Phila
delphia, which has created so much uneasi
ness iu the radical circles at Washington.
The importance which they attach to this
movement is very conclusive evidence that
they are just now beginning to recognize the
vast induence which the reconstruction views
of their conservative opponents will exert in
determining the final action of the people,
to whose arbitrament the interests of the
nation are to be committed in 4he autumnal
elections. The hesitancy to ratify precipi
tately the amendments in many of the North
ern States evinces a consciousness on the
part of the enemies of the Union that the
continued confidence which the President
has expressed in the patriotism and intelli
gence of the masses, and which manifestly
underlies his whole political faith, has reacted
so as to awaken-in the popular mind a like
confidence iu his patriotism, and to give a
power to his opinions which they are begin
ning to fear, if not respect.
The Constitution requires that amendments
-hall be passed by two-thirds of both Houses
of Congress, aud. therefore, so long as nearly
one-third of the States are excluded from all
representation iu Congress it is a practical
fraud upon that provision to consider Con
stitutional amendments; the Constitutionsl
quorum for that purpose not participating in
the act. But *he sovereign people, say Mr.
Johnson and his patriotic supporters, have
had no opportunity of expressing their views
upon the important question which the
amendment involves. It may, therefore, be
doubted whether the action of Congress is in
harmony with the sentiments of the people,
which are not reflected by the existing legis
latures, elected without reference to such an
issue.
To assert their rights, dignity. and equality of the
States, including the right of representation in Con
gress, and the right of each state to order and coif-
trol its ftemestic leeialatinn. subiect only to the Con
trol its demestic legislation, subject only to the
stitutlon.
To affirm and maintain that denial to the States ol
the right of representation, and the prescription by
Ootigress of conditions for its exercise, are unjust.

DESTITUTION IN THE SOUTH.
We learn from the Washington City Re
publican that the commanding officer of the
military post at Darlington, 8- C., forwards
to the Commissioner of the Freedmen s Bu
reau, in that city, an application from some
of the most prominent citizens of Chester
field District, asking the Government to come
to the relief of the starving poor of that dis
trict. The petition states that there is now
great suflering among tbe poorer classes of
the white people of the district for the want
of the necessaries of life, and the distress is
increasing and extending every day, while
theie are none there able to give relief or
save these destitute ODes from actual stat ra
tion. There is now neither grain sufficient
to keep the population alive, nor money to
purchase it with. Tbe state Of afftdrs is rep
resented as becoming truly alarming. Every
day poor women are beggin'g'in the streets of
the villages for meal or corn to save them
selves and children from starvation, aud the
petitioners would gladly afford it if they had
it. Hence, it is in behalf of these sufferers,
they apply to the Government for assistance,
and state that, to be effectual, it must be
speedy.
Release of the Cordova Colonists.—The
Vera Cruz correspondent of the New York

turned a few days ago to VeraCruz, present
ing a most pitiable sight- They were almost
naked, and were all of them bareheaded and
barefooted. They did not remain in Vera
Cruz but a lew hours, on account of the fever,
and alter presenting themselves to the Ameri

their families and personal effects.

Letter from B. H. Hill.
Tbe Augusta Chronicle publishes the following let

that he favors the proposed Convention and desires
that the State shall be represented in its councils.
La Grange, Ga., July 4, 1866.
My Dear General:—I have received your kind let

Everyman of every section who thinks that tho
Union as it was, and the Constitution as it now is, cun
be restored and preserved, and who is willing to aid in
the work, should lose no time in giyinghis influence
to this movement.

The uuconciliating, uncompromising extremists of
both sections were always the natural enemy of a
Constitution founded in concert and administered in
compromise. This theory has ever been the corner
stone of my politics. The war we have had was waged
between these two extremes—each swallowing up, for
the time, the conservatives cf its section. The Govern
ment proper was no party to the contest. The error
of the South was in throwing the power of the Govern
ment iuio the hands of her sectional contestant.
The North triumphed by using the Government,
and now seeks, as it always intended, to destroy the
Government. The Government must now spring out
of the embrace of her original and most bitter foe, aud
struggle for its life—the Constitution. It is to be a
contest. It will be easier to reconcile the South
to tbe Union, than to reconcile the Northto
the Constitution. This movement at Philadel
phia is to save the Constitution. Let'every
other issue stand adjourned until this oue of sal
vation is decided. By a combination of all conserva
tive men. constitutional salvation may be possible.
In no other way is it possible. The South sought to
save the Constitution out of the Union. She failed.
Let her now bring her diminished and shattered, but
united aud earnest counsels aud energies to save the
Constitution in the Union. Such 1 always thought was
her duly and her safety.
The Union must remain. So it is settled. Shall
this Union be without the Constitution? Shall it be
with a new Constitution formed by a section* fluid
founded in farce ? Shall it be bread to oue section
and stone to another section of the same nominal
whole V Shall the eagle protect with one wing and op-
prscs with the other V
I understand the Philadelphia movement is for a
Union of Equals according to a Constitution made by
all and administered by aud for all, and. therefore, I
approve it.
Those are my views; and, though I consider mj
days as a public man have been counted, you may
lock them in your drawer, or throw them m tho fire,
or give them jto the public, as you please.
Very truly, your friend.

The Rome Courier says that tho story recently pub
lished of s negro who had detained a white woman
several days,in the woods, and at her request had been
skinned alive, is s lie out of the whole cloth. Cither
th^above exact accouut, or oue essentially the same,
has been located first in (iordon, next In Polk, then
in Floyd, and lastly in Cobb county. The Courier
says nothing of tbe kind has occurred in any of the
counties named. This miscreant who started the
story ought to be treated to the punishment allot
ted to the negro. 1
The Chattanooga Union says that the' number of
persons in Cobb county who are destitute will reach
3,000. Tlie Mayor scut a list of about three hundred
for the Marietta district, but eince it has become
generally known that rations wilt be distributed, the
wildest excitement prevails, and the officer baring
charge of the issue is visited from five o’clock in the
morning until dsrk, and principally by women. In
four days he had recorded tho names ot oyer five hun
dred women aud childreen.
