As to nett Interest is felt throughout the country in regard to the pros'ueots 01 the cotton aud otliercrops we wilt haitraloliil to our planting friends and others it theiuterior loriiiformasiou on thatsunject. Those who have opportunities for obtaining vaiuablo iuior- matioii in regard to the growing crops, the working ot i ho free-labor system, and kiudretbiuatters,ol gen eral interest, will confer a favor by eotniuniucnting tiie same to us. Kiritemrnt in England. The English people, according to late telegraphic accounts, are deeply agitated by the appreft'endej outbreak in Ireland and Ibe great reform movement. The despatch ol troops to the expected scene ol insurrection, and tile ferocious utterances' of the London press, indicate that serious trouble l^cx- pected Irom' llie Fenians. Stephens ra re- |)orted as having arrived in Paris, aud it is rumored that he is corresponding with tbe _ French Ministry in relation- to the invasion. The London Times says, however, that the outbreak has been anticipated and suc- cessiiilly checkmated by the vigilance of tire Government. It is useless to speculate on the hopes of success of the Feu iaus, if, in deed, they tire about to rise, until some ac curate information can lie obtained ol ttic ex tent of tbe movement aujl the means of car rying it on. The monster reform meeting held in Lon don, on the 3 I iusl., in which lilly-lhousaud' tradesmen and working iitqil participated is equally a pro'.ilix: source of disquietude, There is no mistaking the. tendency ’of (lies.- im mense assemblies toward democratic prin ciples. It is-a signiliceiit fact that the stars ’.rind slripeg were carried- conspicuously in dillerent parts pf the procession, and dis played in the most aristocratic neighborhood This is a-small‘iugitlenl} but. it is one of the straws that indicate public feeling. It is something for a processsiou to carry such a liauuer, and it is something not less lio tieable that its presence was permitted by the autborities. This multitude was com posed of the very clr.ss of men Who in all countries have been the first to seize revolt! lionary ideas and press thciu'on those wh rank aud position rendered them indifiercut to political interests effecting the humbler classes. It has been said that this movement is a mere bubble inflated by the arts of demagogue. Or, iii oilier words, that it is Mr. Bright’s movement. This is simply ah surd. As a cotemporary says it would be quite as accurate to designate the Frotesljuit Heformalion Luther's movement.; the Kn glish “Reform," which ended in the decap itaiion of Cburb a I„ Cromwell's movement the American Revolution, Washington's movement. All great popular movements must, of necessity, have leaders. Brigiit. is simply the principal leader in tiie present agitation for Parliamentary Reform, and that agitation is traceable to obvious causes, not the least of which is, we opine the denial of ■' political aud social rights from which tbe in tsses have been debared because of lln ir poverty and humble origin. Tin? Slate of tile 1'osl. Oiliee. lion. A. W. Randall, Postmaster General states that the revenues of the Department for the year ending June :n», I sue, were $14,388,986 21, and the expenditures $16, :!.V_\07!I 30, showing an excess of cost over receipts ot $965,063 ‘.15, which deficit has been provided for by special act of Congress. He estimates that for the year ending June' :to, 1867, the expenditures oftlie Post Office will be $17,683,000, and the receipts $16,- 800,346, showing an excess of cost of $1, 779,666, but which need not be provided for. as tbe annual appropriation for free matter will cover it. $1,.769,000 will be required for ocean mail service. Postage and stnm|>ed envelopes product d $11,968,668 26, a falling off of more than eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars since last year. The mim her of miles ol mail routes were 180.921, being 38,681 more than in service in the pre vious year. This is in consequence of South ern post offices being reopened. The par ticnlnrs of the new postal treaty with Great Britain, are given, showing that there will be a very considerable reduction in tin- ai of ocean postage. The nnmlter ol"i«RL otuces now open is 23.828. The dead letters of the year were about four millions and a half. Misdirected aud illegibly directed letters, and letters on which postage was not, paid, were about six hundred thousand. There were 677 money order offices in operation, ami the business done by them amounted to $3,977,258^28. ' The Price of Cotton.—A good authority estimates the want of the world at 6,600,000 bales. Putting down the South for2,<X)0,000 bides—which is above the mark— the East Indies for 600,000, Egypt lor 800,000, and Brazil lor 130.000 bides, gives a supply of 3,030,000 bales. Setting the stoclts bn hand at the beginning of the year against the stocks that will be on band at the clc-6e, we have then a deficiency of 2.000,000 bales. The price of cotton must advance, ami it will probably advance u tore in proportion than the lack of supply would seem ht-firat sight .to require. It is considered erroneous, says the Mail, to suppose that the price of an ar ticle of consumption advances in the proper tion that the supply recedes.' If tint supply of flour, for instance, were to diminish one- half, the eff ect would be to raise the price more than double. Some think it is more fair to presume that it wonld bo quadrupled in market value. Be that as it may, cotton must advance, provided the currency remains as it is. Gen. Rohseah, of Kentucky—It will bo recollected that this genlletiiau wae expelled front the last Congress for eauing (prinnell, of Iowa. He was returned to Congress, how ever, by an almost unanimous vole. A Washington special to the Cincinnati Ga zette says: ‘ administering ol' the oath to General Rosseau in the Honse excited con siderable interest, more especially as he was not sworn in with the other new members, but, being late, stood in tbe open space be- lore the desk. Every eve in tho Houso seemed on him, as all were at tho close of the last session, when, on the same spot, he received his reprimand.” .The Contltwtlowal Amendment la Ala- The telegraph announce* that Governor Patton, of Alabama, has sent a message to both Houses of the Legislature recommend ing the adoption of the constitutional amend ment. He baa been moved to this, be says, by tbe apprehension that Ibe present Radical Congress will force something worse upon the Southern States it the amendment is not accepted. That they are determined, at all hazards, to enforce their terms of restoration, and threaten to reverse our progress towards tranquility if the meafcre should be persist ently rejected. * It Is stated that the press of the State denounce the proposition Of the Governor, and charge him with abandoniu the true interests of the people he professes to represent. They argue if there was auy j poued. pledge that the ratification of the aitent^ ment would be the signal for tbe restoration of tbe Southern States and tbe exemption of their people irom further degradation, out rage and persecution, the fact would consti tute some slight palliation for the'conduct .of the Governor, who now proposes to kiss the rod that smites him. Bat there is'not. The •Radical loaders have themselves declared thal tiie ratification of tbe amendment will not advance the Southern-States a single step on tbe road to restoration and to a participation in tbe government. It will be time enough lor tbe South to reconsider tbe proposition when the assurance is given by tbe Radicals that, if accepted, it will be a finality. On tbe 12th November, only a month ago, Governor Patton sent in his annual message to the Legislature, in which he made oue of the most cogent, logical and-satisfactory argu ment# against the amendment wc have seen presented. It was taken up, section bv sec tion. discussed and unreservedly condemned. < >u the 6th December he sent in a special message, in which he recommends the ac ceptance of the amendment. So sudden a change docs not speak well for the stability of ibe Alabama Governor. ii L - V 1 r is stated that a number of gentlemen trout Alabama and Georgia are now in Wash ington, soliciting aid for the starving people of those States. They recount the most har rowing tales of suffering.. Much relief has been afforded by the agents <if -the Freed men’s Bureau, nut hundreds are actually starving, and unless aid is furnished frofu the — North many will perish by famine during the ^ winter. * Complimentary to Savannah. We find in tho Tallahassee Sentinel, of the I ltli inst., the following iu regard to the on : terprise and commercial prospects of this city; >. For liic very flattering manner in which The Sentinel is noticed iu the Savannah News and The Advertiser, of tbe 4th iusl., we feel i gratilude deeper than we can express. Emanating from such sources we led Hint Lite compliment is one to be justly proud ol; but we protest that we do not merit llie com pliment of more than a column of editorial in one paper and nearly half as much in another endorsing, most heartily, our eftbrts to develop a direct trade between our oppressed section and European ports. Did time and space permit, wc could fur nish our cotemporaries facts and figures tlml would astouish Savannah, and arouse her "to the immense wealth within her grasp. Since the surrender, she has made giant I rides towardllie “achievement ot the crown - ing triumph” already predicted by us. We ilave marveled at her matchless energy, as we have seen Jher stretching out her great commercial anna in every direction. But there yet remains “very much ground" for her to occupy. Now is tbe time to lake pos session—direct trade tbe weapon with which she may confidently expect to conquer. Before copying the following extracts from an article in tbe News, we will rernaik that we gave only a part of tbe incident when we stated, a few days ago, that five plauters Irom near this place—none of whom had more than five bales of cottou—got on the train here, with their cotton, and went to Sa vannah to lay in their supplies*; declaring that the increased price they received for their cotton, and tbe reduced price at which they bought their supplies there, more than paid the expenses ol their trip. A better evidence than tbe above, even of tbe influence which Savannah enterprise i* exerting is the statement of a literal fact, iu connection with tbe above item, that not one oftlie “five planters'’ had ever been as far from home as Savannah before. Savannah has, in a large measure, been instrumental in giving us choice of all the Northern markets. Let her pve ns, also, choice of tho European markets, and untold wealth and greatness will reward her labor. I’he immediate improvement ot her harbor, and a vigorous inauguration of direct trade will make Iter the Metropolis of tbe South. BY NIGHT DISPATCHES.

We hope that paper is mis taken m regard to the interference of the military authorities with a matter which be longs entirely to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State. It cannot be pretended that Swayze is a negro—although, from what we have heard of his conduct since the war, we are inclined to think his heart is blacker than a negro's skin. Even it he were of that just now pe culiarly favorite race, we cannot see what right tbe military authorities have to arrest, either with or without warrant, any citizen of tbe State, not in the army of the Federal Government, for offences of any nature what ever.

He understood the mail at the other end of tho avenue souie pieces of paper, but he did not regard them as proclamations of peace. Those who rebelled w ibeGoverameut should be punished as captives.

Tho Houso consumed the remainder of the day In tbe couaideratloU of e Mil regulating appointments and removals from office, Tho President sent to tho ,Uouse paper* relative to Iheex-Coufederate General Pickett's applicatton for parilou. It appears that AdvocatteGeneml Bolt rec ommended that Pickett be put on trial on the charge ot having murdered twenty-two Union prisoners, but the Secretary of War declined to do so on the ground 01 the Supreme Court having derided tribunals trying such cases. Pickett addressed a let ter to the President, asking for amnesty, and one to Grant, asking his favorable consideration, and stating the ciicuBushgaces uniter which the man were «x*- cnled.
