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. THE RATIFICATION OF THJS . CONSTI TUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The scheme cpocoetod by the leaders of the dohtfmot party aecart the immediate ratification of the amendments to the Con stitution proposed by Congress has not met with the general response so confidently ex pected. ■ The acceptance of the propoaitiou so officiously started by Governor Curtin of Pennsylvania for extra sessions of the Legis latures in all the States supposed to be ta- ^ the wnoiu aiucnuwi pcopic, ijjiib uns oujt*c vorable to the measures, has been connnen j being represented in it “ must vauish thus far to his own State and Connecticut [From the Atlanta Intelligencer.] The National Union convention at Phil adelphia.

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.

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 Herald says: The Americans who started “squatter sovereignty’’ in the neighborhood of Cordova, and who were subsequently car ried off as prisoners by a Mexican liberal command, have been released. They re 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 can Consul, went up to Cordova to look after their families and personal effects.

Letter from B. H. Hill. Tbe Augusta Chronicle publishes the following let ter from Hon. B. H. Hill, by which it will be seen that he favors the proposed Convention and desires that the State shall be represented in its councils. La Grange, Ga., July 4, 1866.

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.

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.
