Aa much interest is felt throughout the country in regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops ■we will he grateful to onr planting friends and others n the interior for informmtion on that subject. Those who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infoi ■nation in regard to the growing crops, the working of the free-labor svstem, and kindred matters, o gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. the president SLANDERED. To show our readers to what extent the hostility of the Northern Radical* to the President is carried, we present the following extract, which has been going the rounds of the Northern press. It is the latest and most contemptible specimen of meanness we have seen. It seems to have been taken from the Washington correspondence of a Boston paper: He says that he has frequently seen Presi- dent Johnson so much intoxicated that he fairly staggered in the streets, and that he is almost constantly under the influence ol spirituous liquor. Now this fact, though well known to the Washingtonians, is seldom spoken of in the papers. e would not do so nowytmt that our readers may understand fully the'j kind of man who is permitted to rule over us. A Northern paper, commenting upon this outrageous act of defamation, denounces it as a lie from beginning to. end ; and says that President Johnson has not befen seen in the street a half dozen times since Congress con vened last winter. He has no time to wall; out ; cannot find time, indeed, to take the exer cise requisite for health in his carriage. VS hat becomes, then, of tho slanderous statement that “he has been frequently seen,” 4c. With regard to the President it is stated that he is the most laborious man in Washington. He is up early, and retires late, and is immersed in business all the time. Thousands who have had business -with him—wlio have seen him early in the morning add after ten o’clock at night, and every hour and every portion of the hours between—know and can testify that he is as clear-headed, as cool, as teihperate, as self-possessed, with all his faculties about him, as the most rigid disciple of temperance in the country. His veto messages and other state papers, remarkable for their clearness and ability, are conclusive evidence on this point. A spirit of savage vindic: Iveness rules many of the Radical party, and in gratifying it nothing is too vile for them to employ against the object of their hate.. THE QUESTION OF 4.ABOH. We leatn that in one of the Southwestern counties of this State, there is much difficulty between planters and their employees, and that rnauy of the latter are leaving in viola tion of their contracts to remain until the crops are gathered. This is unpleasant news, for the fate of the South depends, in a great measure, upon the success of those who have invested in the cultivation of the soil all they could gather from the debris of their broken fortunes. If contracts are uot en forced by the strong arm of the law; if la borers sre allowed to shift their places of em ployment whenever desired; or if planters are permitted, with impunity, to hire lalior- IrouBle i.!* consequeirce"<>t sTcli a fairs, can be readily imagined. If an exam ple were made, by severe punishment under the law, of some of the delinquents, it would convinqe all parties in the section referred to, white and black, employer and employee, ? that contracts must be respected, aDd that •to employ a laborer under contract, even ig norantly, except it be after proper inquiry. is a serious offence. We understand that proceedings have been instituted against some of the offending par ties, and it is hoped that, with the strict and impartial administration of. the laws passed bv the Legislature, which were formed with a View to prevent the very troubles to which we have alluded, free labor will be made more reliable, or at least that it can be so managed as to protect honorable seen from imposition and loss. The law in this State on this subject ought to be rigidly enforced. The utter disre gard paid in some parts of the country to con tracts, is demoralizing many of our laborers. They; as well as their' employers, must he made to know that there is such a thing as law; and all must be,taught that the law can and will be enforoed. It should be the ob ject offfce oports and of every good citizen to ,V. assist in the advancement <rf justice, land to promote the faithful execution of a law or t J ’cadge upon which depends the jrhjle “utility ? * the present labor system. The white man who, by any means, in duces a laborer to abandon his employer, in violation of his contract, is a bad citizen,and deserves not only to be punished, but to be disgraced socially. The Test Oath.—We commend the fol lowing, from the Washington National Re publican, to the notice of such of our South ern contemporaries as fear that the test oath may be approved by the Philadelphia Con vention : But we have doubts, of the propriety of the test oath now ‘tint the necessity which called for it is passed. And onr doubts are « greatly strengthened by evidences that it is •n, being used in some instances to thfcprejudjce m ‘ n-' ‘of the public service. Second, third, and * even fourth rate men in the Southern States are frequently entrusted With important pub lic duties, merely because first rate men in the same localities, although equally loyal to tho Government, cannotAake this oath. Thu Republican is naturally suppose# to speak authoritatively for tlje TJonservutive portion of the Republican -party—those very men who first conceived the idea of the Con vention and issued a caH. The remarks of the Republican, too, are important, as indi cating (it is understood) the President’s views on the test oath. Those who affect so much alarm about this matter may now lay aside all appearance of fear. If they are not re-assured yet, we know not what to do. Affairs in Texas.—The State of Texas being still under a provisional Government, and persons having assumed, by virtue of a recent election, certain civil efiioes without the authority ot the General Government, General H. G. Wright, commanding tbemilir tary department, has issued aa order to hi* subordinate commanders, directing them In HO way to recognize such pretended officers, .bot to support the provisional Government UDt&tt shall be discontinued by the President of tha United States. ; , BY TELEGRAPH. , [COMMUNICATED*] . H To the Editors of tUe News and Herald: Now that Congress has adjourned, the public mind will relapse into a state of qnietnde and repose. All hope of enjoy ing the benefits and blessings' of the Go vernment to the people of the South, under the present dominant faction, has long since departed. It has seemed to be th£ desire and intention of the Radical j Congress to impose upon us ull the duties , harrisbug, Penn., Aug. 2.—The State Convention and hardships of conquered provinces, with , of soldiers favorable to the election of Clymer as Gov- the title and appearance of States.

New York, Aug. 2.—There were nineteen cases and four deaths by cholera reported in Brooklyn from noon yesterday to noon to-day. Eight of these cases were in the jail and penitentiary. effort has been made to humble the people of this section to a condition meaner than serfs. The powerless condition in which the war left the people of the South nflorded the partv in power an ample opportunity of gratifying those feelings of hatred which burned in their bosoms, from its inception to its culmination in the election of its Presi dent, which drove the South to the rash act of secession, the result of which furnishes the pretext of oppression. All their profes sions of friendship and kind feeling, and purity of motive, sink into insignificance and vanish in the face of the virulence with \vhich thej r have followed up the opportunity to persecute the South. The fundamental principles of justice and equality, so forcibly enunciated in the or ganic law of the Government, have found no support with the vindictive lawgivers of the country, the pretended supporters of the j Constitution. The long cherished hope of I Ex-Gov. Vance, ot North C arolina, in a power has, at length, been realized, and the | recent address before the literal-}’ societies of exponents of republicanism have perverted Death of John Ross, the Cherokee Chief.

War left the country in a direful condition, which it required the wisdom of jfages, the experience of statesmen, and the moderation of calm and dispassionate judgment to re-ad- just. The prejudice and vindictiveness of party should have yielded to the interest and wel fare of the whole country- Private emolu ment and sectional gratification should have been forgotten in the desire to restore the country to a status of equality, and all efforte exerted and directed to that particular end. But wiiat does the result show? The late Congress has-drawn its tedious length to a close, and what good has ncerued to the country'? Laws for the humiliation of a brave, high-minded and enlightened people have beeni.'passed. The most violent passions of human nature have been brought to bear upon weak minds. The exaltation of an in ferior race, unprepared even for the meanest condition of freemen, has been a paramount object; and Congress has resembled a pande monium more than an assemblage of wis dom. But there is a faint ray of hope before us. T he Convention soon to assemble at Phila delphia is fraught with vital and important consequences to the country at large. It is true it will not have the control of the Go vernment in its hands; but its influence may spread over the country to so great an extent as to deter the enemies of constitutional liberty from a further persistency in their ruinous course, and may eventually place the affairs of the Government in the hands of good and conservative men. And herein lies the necessity of sending such men to the Convention 98 have the .good of the entire country solely at heart. Party and sectiou must be abandoned; the people of both sec tions must unite cordially and unequivocally for the overthrow ot the Radicals, and for the establishment of a National Union or ganization which shall extend its auspices over the whoie country, to the utter exter mination of sectionalism. If we ever expect to live under the Government as one united and powerlul people—and this h^s ever been the desire of a majority of the people of the South—we must abandon sectional feelings, and unite upon the principles, of litical barrier to political equality isremoved. Jhe South resisted mantuiiy the unequal overtures extended to her, until she was overrun by superiority of numbers and re sources, and now she accepts the condition in good faith, and is willing to meet hei friends of tbe North upon fair and equitable grounds. The men who have been elected from Georgia will thus exemplify her. They are tried and true, and will not misrepresent their constituents nor deceive their co-repre sentatives. A free and friendly commingling and interchanging of sentiments and opinions by the true citizens of both sections will not only convince the liberty-loving people of the North of the desire of the South to main tain the principles of the Government, and to promote a spirit of national unity which will secure national protection and equality. But it will throw off the mask under which the destroyers of our liberties have sought to justify themselves in"«lepriving us of our rights and excluding us from those councils which were of inomentuous importance to us. With these motives, let our people lay aside all prejudice and indifference, and meet the friends of constitutional liberty in good faith, and the country will be saved from the ruin which at present awaits it. Agriculture will again flourish as of yore; trade and com merce will revive, and literature and the arts (will engage the attention of our people, and re'mstate us in that honorable position among the nations of the earth from which the po litical rapacity of tbe dominant party has driven us.

We are all alone with our great de feat and that heavy sorrow ‘which never flit ting, still is sitting, still is sitting ’ in our household, and all that we have left for our comfort is the sad, yet tender light which plays around the memory of those who died to-make it otherwise.” With all this, Governor Vance exhorts steady and honest acquiescence in the result of the war. Removal of the Dead from the Crater near Petersburg.—The Express of yesfer day says : Since Thursday last, about four hundred bodies of Federal and Confederate dead have been removed from the immediate vicinity of the “Crater,” and that still a large number remain. These bodies are placed in stiong boxes, and re-interred in the cemetery at Poplar Grove, where such Confederates as are taken up are buried in a separate square. In a few days digging operations will be commenced in the cavity of the “Crater" itself, where some two hundred or more Fed- cderal soldiers were killed and covered over. It is the intention of the Government to have the remains of every soldier, Federal or Con federate, removed from the lines of this vi cinity and interred in the cemetery at Poplar Grove, where such of them as are known will be marked.. The Massachusetts Democracy.—A Na tional Union Convention has been called to meet at Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the 14th of August next, to be composed of delegates who sustain the Administration in maintain ing unbroken the Union of the States, against the encroachments of Congress in their usurpation of power; who accept the national situation, and believe the Union of States to be indissoluble; that their equality in the Union, including the right of representation, is guaranteed by the Constitution ; that slavery is abolished, and neither can or ought to be re-established, and that each State has the nndoubted right to prescribe the qualifi cations of its own electors. The Democratic State Committee of Massachusetts deem it desirable that this commonwealth be repre sented in that Convention by delegates repre senting all those people who desire the Union and representation in Congress of all the States, and the preservation and supremacy of the Constitution; and, in the absence of a separate organization of National Union men in Massachusetts, we recorntgend to the people of the State in proportion of .ripe r — every hundred legal voters in the comrnon- . wealth, to assemble at? Fanueil Hall, in Bos ton, on Wednesday, the 8th of August next, at 11 o’clock a. m., to select four delegates at large, and two from each Congressional Dis trict, who were supporters of Lincoln and Johnson in 1864, and an equal number from their opponents, to represent the old Bay State in the Convention at Philadelphia. The several city and town committees wilupleasc see that each municipality is fully repre sented. By order of the Democratic State Commit tec. Moses Bates, Chairman. Boston, July 19, 186C. Served him Right.—A short time since, a Mr. Ferrell was shot dead near HickmaD, Tennessee, by a young mao scarcely twenty- one years of age, named P. C. Matheny, whose sister was tbe wife of Ferrell. It ap pears from tbe evidence that on the day pre vious Ferrell had treated bis wife very bru tally, tu the presence of a neighbor, beating and bruising her badly, then trying to kill her, having a pistol in bis baud, and finally dragged her off into the woods by her hair, as if to execute his atrocious threat. The neighbor mentioned, attempting to interfere, was aiso threatened with death, and ran off to inform the relatives of Mrs. Ferrell and other neighbors of tbe danger. Several of these armed themselves and started in pur suit of Ferrell. They did not find him until the next morning at 8 o’clock. He had kept his wife in the woods all night in dread of her life. On perceiving this party advancing he drew his pistol, and ruuning towards them, cried out, “Which shall 1 shoot first?” and finally selected young MatheDy, aud brought his weapon to bear on him- The latter, however, was too quick for him, and shot him dead just in time. Matheny sur rendered himself to tbe authorities, and af ter a preliminary examination was dis charged. Sudden Death of a Distinguished Gen tleman.—Gen. Martin Luther Smith died suddenly on Sunday morning in Rome. Ga. He was attacked the day previous with in flammation of tbe bowels, and tbe disease raged so violently that his system, somewhat enervated by intense bead and fatigue, was incapable of bearing tbe shock.. Mis re mains passed through this city yesterday, in charge of D*. Wm. D- Hoyt, of Rome, to be delivered to his relatives and friends at Athens, for interment Gen. Smith was a graduate of West Point, aud served In tbe Mexican war. He was recognized as a man of distinguished ability. During tbe late war be was at the bead of the Engineer Corps of tbe. Confederate States army, and among other prominent perform ances during that eventful period, be planned and constructed the defences of Vicksburg. At tbe time of his death Gen. Smith was Chief Engineer of tbe system of railroads which i» to connect Selma, Ala, and Dalton. Ga., of which Gen. Johnston is President, aud which are now being constructed. Gen.
