TO OUR COUNTRY FR1E59S. As much interest is felt throughout the country in regard to the prospects of the cotton and other crops i will be grateful to our planting friends and others 21 the interior for information on that subject. Those who have opportunities for obtaining valuable infor mation in regard to the growing crops, the working of the free-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. the national express company It gives us pleasure to state that we have been shown a dispatch from Baltimore to Mr. J. F. Walker, agent of the National Ex press Company in this city, which says that all difficulties in regard to the affairs of the Company have been fully and satisfactorily settled, and that the Company is now in better condition, and its business under more thorough management than it has ever been before. We infer from the tenor of the dis patch that the litigation between this Com pany and one of the Virginia railroads, in (he form of an injunction, has been settled. We congratulate the stockholders, OK'd others connected with the enterprise, the favorable character of the informalioh thus communicated, and wish them a suc cessful career, in common with their older rivals, in this interesting and useful depart ment of commercial intercourse. Agricultural Colleqk Scrip for the Southern States.—It is stated that-*' lSe ; Commissioner of the Grand Land Office has for some time been busily engaged in signing the agricultural college scrip taken up by the Stale of North Carolina under the Con gressional grant of Jniy 2, 1862'. The only Southern States that have thus far signified their intention of accepting the provisions of the grant of Congress, besides North Carolina, are Virginia and Georgia. The scr : p tor Virginia will shortly be prepared The law granting to States the privilege of selecting lands for agricultural and mechanic colleges provides for an amount of public lauds equal to 30,000 acres for each Senator and Representative in Congress to which such States are respectively entitled by the appointment under the census of I860, the tracts to be selected from the public lands of the United Stales, subject to private entry at $1 25 per acre, or selections may be made from the $2 50 or double minimum ; bat. in the latter case, the lands are to be computed at the maximum price, and the number of acres proportionately diminished. _ Distressing News.—It pains us deeply to read the accounts in oar Georgia exchanges from north of Atlanta in regard to the almost entire failure of the crops in that region, in consequence of a protracted drouth. It is stated that in many counties there had been no ram for several weeks, and under a blaz ing sun and the high temperature of tbe pres ent summer, the last hope of a corn crop had disappeared. The Rome Courier of last week says “the drouth continues, with no immediate pros pect of abatement. In many places the early corn is ruined. Through this and the ad joining counties it now seems impossible that there will be half a crop raised. Tbe cotton crop is also obliged to be short, and appre hensions are now being felt that it will be almost entirely ent off. Heaven have mercy upon us!” iff' One Honest Official.—Hon. Chester D. Hubbard, member of Congress from West Virginia, declines] to accept his increased pay, as provided by the 'act of tbeTast'ses sion of Congress. Tbe United States Treasurer to-day received a letter from Mr. Hubbard, in which was enclosed the order ot the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House, en titling him to $2,800. Mr. Hubbard says he voted for the bill because he did not want to defeat the appropriations therein, hut he did not expect to draw his increased pay. Mr. Spinner, the Treasurer, has returned the draft to Mr. Hubbard for his endorsement, (which had been overlooked,) and for in structions as to what fund Mr. Hobbard de sires the sum applied to, inasmuch as the money has been appropriated^and ia sobjbet to the direction of the payee. The New Law Concern iso Rbvbnue Stamps.—The new tax . law concerning revenue stamps went into operation on the 1st inst., and its provisions are especially interesting to bankers and brokers, from the fact of tbeir being taxed at tbe rate of one cent for every hundred dollars of tbe amount not enter the Park, but tba populace, indig nant at their exclusion, made a sudden sweep Again tat the iron railing!,Wkenohpd Uiem frpm their fastenings, tore flown one whole side, and thyn swept into the Park in a tremen dous tile, to which the police could oppose only a fefWe f £heajf bodjr. of \ [communicated.] A Lamented «wr{t>n ill.

The mounted police and the mill tary together made many arrests, and the people were forcibly dispersed. Tbe oppo nents of tbe and the newspaper aensationists have suc ceeded in their efforts to raise a tremendous outcyy against that administration for an af fair which, wbepfompfrod with the riots in this country,. Murat aid snUring bat a mis erable street row, with the high sounding title of a “battle.” Nq doubt the people of London were more alarmed by it than were the people of New OrihaM by tbe bloody riot of the 80th.

On the day after the disturbance, the leaders of the Reform movement waited upon Mr. Wal pole, Homo Secretory, and respectfully de manded permission to meet in the Park, to which the Secretary replied that if the gen tlemen before him, on the part of the people, would give the assurance that no breach of tbe peace or disturbance should occur, the raformfirs would be allowed to meet iu the Pork.

Heavy penalties will be incurred by neglecting to comply with the provisions of ttSb'Jaar*.l '-.Jf Cj California to be at Philadelphia. —On tlie 3d instant the National Union State Con vention of California met in San Francisco. It passed resolutions endorsing President Johnson’s restoration policy, and declaring that a spirit of charity and moderation should control the political action of the country. Approving the Philadelphia Con vention, it appointed delegates thereto—all of whom are citizens of other States, we be lieve. This was done because of the utter impossibility r af5a : ~<Sk4g*ti<ki being able to come from California in time. The marshal ling of a mighty host is in progress, and its numbers will o^ti^me all Ippppfit^rif | The Test Oath.—The Columbus, Ohio, Crisis, the organ Of ttte Democracy of' Ohio, declares unequivocally against -any approach to a test oath as a preliminary to. the admis- aion of Southern delegates to the Philadelphia Convention. Such is the universal voice ot the Democratic and Conservative press of, the North and West X Any otjier course, in deed would defeat the’ fundamental objects bring together all who are in fevor of a re union in tbe future, with a mantle jsmntaty IOi l( WHO IS TO BLAME. On the first page of this paper will be found a joint letter addressed to the Presi- sident by Mayor Monroe and others o* Louisiana, in which they fix beyond ques tion, the responsibility for the late riot in New Orleans upon the revolutionists who attempted to hold the illegal Convention, and their Radical supporters. It is gratify ing to learn from this reliable source that the press and authorities Of New Orleans not only advised but importuned the people to abstain from any interference with the Con vention, notwithstanding the illegality of the gfhdd^Eiing; and the people generally observ ed the recommendation. Those who hap pened to be precipitated into the conflict by the pressure of surronnding circumstances, had been attracted to the locality by curiosity, and the collision which unhappily occurred, was sought by the blacks, whose insolence, owing to the instigation of Dostie and his confederates, was of the most aggressive character. Gen- Hearn, one of the signers of the communion - tion, was formerly an officer of the Federal army, and ought to be credited by all disin terested persons. The truth is, as ligTit is thrown upon the doings of the convention which met in Lou isiana in 1804, and which sought to perpetu ate its power by overthrowing the present government of that State, the more infamous it appears. To sustain their jacobinical con duct, and to galvanize into life a convention which had been dead for two years, negroes were furnished arms, and every preparation made (o precipitate the conflict. And when themqbspirit caused by these wanton outrages brokdteiit, the Revolutionists, whose leaders in Ccaigress had prophesied the result, aud did all they could -to make their prediction true, now charge upon the Administration, the erime and the deeds of blood which they alone brought upon the country, merely to furnish an additional pretext for refusing to the State of Louisiana her rights in the Union. That the leaders of this mock convention were political agitators, and that the action of the convention was calculated to produce a breach of the peace, no rational man can doubt. It was so intended, for its getters-up knew that when their programme was seen it would necessarily produce riot and blood shed, and ye t, with the facts before them the Radical press insist upon it that the blood is not uppn their hands. OErt. J. B. ing of love and friendship which has prompt ed the antbor, who served with liiR deported friend in tbe same common cause, will excuse him tram all censure that may accrue by thus IntriidingTipnn your readers; bat to tbe many in whose minds are associated tbe honr ored name of this noble young man, with benevolent intentions, generous impulses, lofty aims and aatiriag energy and heroism, it cannot fail even at this late hour to excite tbeir regard and admiration. Of all the gaffe iff young men identified with us in tbe cause we earnestly believed to be true and holy, none were more faithful in defending that cause than the cherished one of whom these lines are written. As soon ss it was known to the people of Georgia in 18GI that our nobleold8tale bad seceded from the Fed eral Union to join her sister States of tbe Srijth )n tbeir struggle for a separate and indefsiident Government, this gallant youDg Georgian immediately entered a company in bis native State aa a private soldier, which honorable position be occupied for one year, wjien he was promoted to a lieutenancy, tbe duties of which office he discharged with con summate skill and ability to the end of the war in 1885, when he qOietly settled on his farm and resumed his avocation as a planter nntH the 22d day of March, 18GG, at which time be was drowned by the sioking of a boat while engaged in a benevolent act; and thus perished in the bloom of manhood as noble a spirit as ever existed, or struck in behalf of the holy cause of liberty. Among the many excellent features In bis character, none shone brighter than those sterling virtues which mock at the petty malice of the envi ous and triumph over tbe machinations of malignity. His affable manner was so tem pered by a polished urbanity as to conciliate the love and esteem of all who knew him. In all tbe relations of fife, social or military, he was faithful, affectionate, exemplary, and manifested a meekness and gentleness which beautifully illustrated the virtues ot the Chtistain and the beaevolenoe of tbe man ; but, alas! he has entered in bis rest, earth and its sorrows have been supplanted by heaven and its joy9. To bis bereaved sisters and surviving brother, while sympa thizing with them in this trying dispensation of Him in whose bands are tbe issue of all things, I must say, weep not for the true and brave, but rejoice in. his exchanging the trouble scenes of this world for a happy borne in that heaven of peaceful and settled rest. A Sincere Friend. Haw Orleans Items. We clip tbe following items from the Picayune of Sunday morning: Mr. G. H. Flagg, of Algiers, who was member of tbe Convention of 18S4, and was reported as answeriog to bis name in the Representative Hall on Monday, denies that Ube was present, as we learn from those who have conversed with him. He was arrested by'capias from the First District Court, on Thursday, while on this side of the river, and fontid bail yesterday and was released. Members or the Convention Indicted.— Seventeen of the members of tbe Convention indicted have been arrested and furnished the requisite bail. We learn that several wereentelies on each other’s bonds. Howes, Henderson and Hire were too sick to be removed. Pontado, Orr and Mormand, of Avoyelles; Bennie, of La fourche ; Ennis and Hamilton have not been arrested. The Grand Jury was in session yesterday, but made no farther report. They adj ouroed until to-morrow. ByTelegrapli* FROM WASH0IGtO& t ^—■ JLi r to. *3 .

The Hospitality or Philadelphia.— . Forney’s Philadelphia paper, tbe Press, says that the Southern delegates to the Conven tion to meet on the 14lb instant, will be mat with overflowing hospitality by the many “rebel” sympathisers in that city. Houses that have heretofore been hermetically sealed, wifi be thrown wide open for tbe ac commodation, of the hpoorod guests. It says: “So far from the fear of mob violence against onr recent Southern masters, the only apprehension to be indulged is that they will be smothered in (he affectionate em braces of tbeir anxious and ardent friends, or drowned in the copious libations that wifi be set flowing in tbeir behalf.” We thank tbe Press for the assurance that the South ha* so many friends in the city of ♦yrothirty Uove.” A Fact Wi'tL Stated.—The Hon. A. H. Stewart, of Virginia, in his recent address before the University ot Virginia, speaking of tbelsrge landed estates of the South says: Ail this mast now pass away. Large estates must be sab-divided and sold, a hardy race of yeomanry will then till the soil with their own Strong arms, and will supplant tbe large landed proprietors. Land will be improved in productiveness and value, and the wealth of the country wifi be aogmented. Thrift and f economy will besubetitated.for the lavish ifytffditarelrad wastefwl profusion of the orient proprietors. .^jj * r New Rmlbqad.—A notice appears in the ^uteston papers in which it is announced ttottroplication will be mad? to the next ses- aioR-of the Legislature of South Carolina for tt jilufor of an Air Li|rf:'l||0J the city of Charleston Uf* the 'City of Jffigusta, Georgia, ox some point ronaocting with the Georgia Railroad, with power to construct branches to connet with any other Railroad witin the State or to thSNoith Carolina line. The Late Fire at Atlanta.—In regard to the late disastrous fire at Atlanta, by which the Athenaeum building was destroyed, we learn that ten thousand dollars of the in surance was in the Home and Southern and Trust offices of this city. The notices of the losses were received on the 6th of this month, and the drafts for the payment of them were forwarded from both offices on the same day. Receipts for them were received on the 11th. This speaks well for the Savannah insurance companies, and, we are sure, will confirm the favorable opinion gwronily entertained in regard to them. Death ok a Floridian.—The Tallahassee papers announce .the death near that city on the 7th instant, of the Hon. Geo. K. Walker, who had been a citizen of that State for over thirty years, and had held various positions of trust and honor. He was beloved for bis virtues and admired for his brilliant and cul tivated mind. He was the brother of the Hon. David S. Walker, the present able Governor of that State. Hon. D. A. Walker.—The Atlanta In telligencer of the l<kb, contains a letter fropi this gentleman, in which be says it is impos sible, owing to indisposition, for him to at tend the Philadelphia Convention as one of the delegates from the State at large.

There waa quite a stir to-day over a report lu the New York Herald, that Governor Curtin, of Pennsyl vania, had secretly called for two thousand mIMtte ter service during the time of the Convention, and that trouble will probably ensue. This is believed to be a canard. There is no reason to suppose that the C» vention will be disturbed, notwithstanding the Mis chievous articles iu some of the Radical press Gene ral Dix or George Ashman, of Meseecheeette. will pre side. FOREIGN NEWS. BY ATLANTIC CABLE. Brnci, August 8.—The deputies voted that the or der of Black Eagle be conferred on General Van Boom and General Baron Maltfce.
