As much interest is felt throughout the country in rogai’d to the prospects of the cotton and other crops we will bo grateful to our planting friends and others 11 the interior for information on thataubject. Those who have opportunities tdr obtaining valuable infor mation in regard to the growing crops, the working of'tho free-labor system, and kindred matters, of gen eral interest, will confer a favor by communicating the same to us. Plucky unci Significant. The Washington National Republican, ■which is the Metropolitan organ of the Con servative wing of the Radical party as well as of the Administration, in its issue of the »;th iust., is very outspoken and emphatic in regard to the scheme of the Radicals for pre venting % tHe Southern Slates Rom voting at the next Presidential election. It says: Thai in the event that the electoral votes of those States would, with others, elect ^ President if counted that candidate, whoeve * he might be, would bo Prosit limit, or we would have another revolution, more bloody perhaps than the one we have passed through, because there would he a loyal sentiment in the North to support the South in her electoral rights. The Conservative journals of Pennsylvania and New York, speaking for the friends of Constitutional liberty in those Stales, use language of like import and not less em phatic. We confess that we are deeply pained by these threatening indications ot popular dis content throughout the country, caused b> tin* intolerance and recklessness of the parly in power, but we arc uot altogether without hope: that, by the interposition of an over using Providence, reason and justice will yet triumph over'passion add prejudice, am point out a way to the pacification of our na itouul troubles without a recurrence to the dire alternative indicated by the Conservaliv press of the North. i(ii|mrlaul •lutlU-ia.1 Decisions -Tlie Meal ing of Confederate Money. We find in the Lagrange (Ga.) Reporter, of lute date, the following interesting state ment of a point, and report of the scaling ol Confederate money, in the Superior Court of Trnnp county, Judge Warner presiding : hit*vend point* of importance in regard to the juris- dictiou of The county court were decided in a lucid manner by Judge Warner, lie held that judgment .•ould bo obtained at the first term in tbe county court .in cases where the appearance term had been in the mferior court, and the act creating it operated as a notice to all parties of this change. His Honor also held that the judge of the county court had power to grant bail in actions ex delicto as being the successor of the inferior court, which had jurisdiction in these cases. Colonel Dougherty ably maintained that spe cific words to this effect would have been employed had tlie Legislature intended to confer this important authority; but Judge Warner decided it was conferred by the -.foneral expressions granting jurisdiction in all cases wtiere exclusive jurisdiction was not vested in some other court. " 1 The attention ot the Court on Thursday and Friday was occupied nearly altogether in adjusting Confede rate claims, and L*ow the verdicts rendered, one will readily perceive that it is time wasted for the Legisla ture to repudiate ilia! class of debts, at least, as the juries very generously discharged that duty for them. One claim of $7,500, with interest, created by taking up ..Id executions, was scaled to about $000. Another, given tor land, was scaled from $3,500 to $650. Au- »-tiler note, given tor laud, at from $10 to $15 per acre, aud which has been sold for $17 per acre since The war, was reduced to $2 per acre—the claim being $721, with several years’ interest—was razeed to $162. Is it not. u work «>i supererogation to legislate more for u liet on this cla6.s of claims? NIGHT DISPATCHES. Krona Europe.

Bong, December 12.—Tbe French Minister, Count Montebello, baa informed tbe Pope that if he with draws from Borne, the French troops, hereafter, will give him no support Fkankfobt, Dec. 12—P. If.—The market for Aourl- can bonds today is unchanged, though tbs feeling perhaps is scarcely so Arm aa yesterday. London, Dec. 12.—In the commission to adjust tbs Alabama claims, those of this country against tbe United Slates for losses of British anbjacta by depredations, be., during tho war, will be broagbt prominently forward. i We learn ttutt-the Legislature has passed a I BleKMIMimi bilt to authorize Ahe City Council of Thomas- ville to issue bonds for taking stock in the above road, which is designed to connect Thomosvillc with Albany, aud to be extended ultimately to a point of intersection with the road spanning the peninsula of Floridn. We are truly glad to learn from the Southern Enterprise that the people of the country through which it will pass are wide awake in reference to the accomplishment of this pro ject, and are resolved to give assistance to the full extent of their means. It says : Thev are looking to Thomas county aa the. chief Sgant in connecting them with Savannah by railroad, and while relying upon our own wealth and impor tance are determined also to help themselves. There are many good and able men in that country, tilled with a generous public spirit, and they desire to be brought aa speedily as possible into communication with this section. Let us hasten the good work and give them renewed courage. This is a work in which onr city is largely interested, and, therefore, claims the atten tion of tfur meichants and real estate holders. It is destined to place the Atlantic and Gulf Road in communication with an extended area of the most productive cotton lands in Georgia, the products of which will seek this point as a market or as an ocean outlet, in stead of going as now to New Orleans and other points more distant and inaccessible. With tbe Completion of tbis enterprise and tbe extension of tbe Atlantic and Gulf Road to Bainbridgc, Southwest Georgia and Mid dle aud West Florida promises to become tbe finest cotton growing region east of the Mississippi river. Tbe lands and climate of this magnificent belt of couolry are admira bly adapted to the growth of every species of vegetation that flourishes any where within the temperate zone. We published a short tiu\£ since a letter from an intelligent gen tleman, who had traveled - through tbe counties' of Stewart, Webster, Sumter, Randolph, Terrill, Clay, Calhoun, Dough erty, Baker, Miller, Early, Mitchell, Lqe, Dooly, Worth, Chattahoochee and Marion, urging at the request of the citizens of these large and productive counties their immediate contmuuica- tiou with this city by rail. We have since learned that the planters who are remarkable for their intelligence and en tevprise, are embarking with energy into pi eparal ions tor another crop, and that the best lands are reuting at the high figuers of eleven aud twelve dollars per acre. It is also stated that the labor in this section has been more efficient and under much bet ter control than elsewhere in the entire South. These unquestionable facts demon strate the importance of the anticipated con nection of Thomasville with Albany, and the extension of the Atlantic and Gulf road to tho point stated, not only to the sections through which they pass, but to this city as well. We call upon our mer chants, capitalists and property holders to give the subject immediate attention, and if, on examination, they find our views to he correct, to contribute everything in their power to establish these highways of -trade, which would contribute so greatly to the commercial prosperity of their growing city. Tkst Ovm Unconstitutional.—The Su piv-me Court of the United States have agreed upon a.decision upon tbe uncoDStitu- tiomiliijr of"the test oath. The question came up on tlie cases presented in regard to the exaction ot the oath from attorneys, oi which there were several under considera tion by the Court, which were argued last summer. The court has decided by a vote of five to four against the constitutionality ot tiie oath. It is understood that each of the Judges will read bis own opinion- The Radical Congressmen will have to pass another law. The Supreme Court is not working in the traces. By creating two more judges of the right stripe, this decision might be reversed, and then they will have tlie whole matter in their own hands. Brigham Yon.No Metiers to Private Lifb —We have from Salt Lake a report that Brigham Young is about to retire tempora rily from his capital, aud lake up his abode on a plantation owned |by him, some sixty miles south of Salt Lake City, leavieg the reins of the government in the hands of bis son, Brigham, junior. it is also staled that lie is luxuriating in the honeymoon ot his foity-iifth bride, a beautiful Danish girl of 17. He has just lost his twenty-fourth wife, who was buried without any ceremony, or even a notice of her death. . The New Skidawat Railroad Enter- i-uisk.—The hill incorporating the Savan nah,Skulawny ami Seaboard Railroad,to con nect Savannah directly with Skidaway, Isle of Hope, Cedar Hammock, Bethesda, Beau lieu, Montgomery, White Bluff, and neigh boring places, lias passed tbe House of Rep resentatives, aud will, without any doubt, pass the Senate. We hear of no opposition to tlie enterprise from citizens here, or from any one, but learn that strong approval is everywhere manifested,- and that weighty en dorsements have been forwarded, including those of the city authorities. Th ij. I’oi-u.—The religious journals of Paris insist strongly that the Pope cannot possibly, with any regard for his safety, remain at J.i .nil- after the departure of tbe French troops. Should His Holiness not resolve to take his departure of his own free writ, cir cumstances, they assert, will speedily after lead to his expulsion. In consequence, those journals not only urge the Holy Father to depart, but affect to look on that course as decided on. Then comes the question, “Where will the Head of the Church go V” And on that point there is the greatest di versity of opinion. ■Mr. Raymond in a Dilemma.—A Wash ington correspondent says Mr. Raymond's position as a member of tbe Union (Radical) party is very much questioned by the simon pure Jacobins. Stevens is unwilling on any account to recognize him as such, and the majority of tbe present members of the Housedistrust him. The Conservatives dare not trust him, and il is easy to see what an embarrassed position that gentleman mast be iu with regard to his political connections. Georgia Politics.-Tbe Milledgevilie Fed eral Uniou says: “There is much talk sub rosa, at the cap ital, about running a candidate for Gov ernor iu opposition to Governor Jenkins, for the next term. Unless better stock can be put on the track than two of the nazs sug gested. their backers had as well unsaddle their cattle aud turn them out to graze. Georgia, tho* disgraced by her enemies, will ■"ever intentionally injure herself.” Mant Virginia planters are turning their attention to grazing, on account of the un reliability of labor. State Seminary aw Louisiana.—Professor Semmes is to have an excellent coadjutor in his new duties. The New Orleans Picayune announces that General Joseph E. Wheeler, well known as a cavalry officer during the late war, has been elected Professor of Natu ral Science in the State Seminar}' of Louisi ana. The institution is represented as in a flourishing condition, over one hundred and Ally students having already entered. Great stagnation prevails in ordinary buii- ness in New Orleans. The failure of two Canal street dry goods houses is an nounced. Auctioneers complain that noth ing sells unless at heavy losses. The coun try press is counseling more and more small farms, aud not relying on negro labor. Cotton Stealing.—It has been discov ered by the investigating Committee recent ly in seasiou at Washington, that $300,000,- 000 worth of cotton bag been seized by gov ernment agents in the South, and not more than a tenth of tbe amount lias beeu re- alizedjby the Treasury of the United Slates. Forty thousand persons were present at tbe great State Fair in New Orleans on -be 20th ult. Business was almost entirely sus pended. President Roberts has c onvened the Fe nian Senate in New York. Their proceed ings are not made public. Special Notices. ASSIGNEE'S NOTICE.

Maximilian had decided not to abandon the empire, and a proclamation communicating said fact had appeared. The Susquehanna had arrived at Saoiificloa.

Penzon and Valdez attacked Zasambaro, according to CliftMa, with 1,200 men and four pieces of artillery, but ware repulsed by the garrison, although it consisted of only 403 Liberals.

Ala., Not. 1st, 1866. Tbe poor nigger has suffered tearfully in the hands of his friends, aud beaa filled with all manner of false notions, and aa a general thing sighing for a life ot indolence and ease, bids fair, now that the policy of thaGovenunentseem to tend toa withdrawal of much farther aid from him, to perish from starvation. 1 am tlpld that them are one thousand five huuurt>d ut-gro paupers in thia city alone, aud I don’t know what ia to become of them. No matter wind neorophibsta toll you up wham you live, the negro does not liko to work if be can help it, and as a general thing, 1 be lieve they have done very liadly in the experiment of working <e> thauselrea. But they need, in this auc tion, all the negro labor they can get, and I believe in time, if than ia not too much meddling, some plan will be devisad which will be tolerably satisfactory to both tread in an and employer. But the negro will suffhr much first; and, indeed, suffering is now pro bably Inseparable from the great change in his condi tion or stains that the war baa brought about. By the way, it is curious how actual contact with the negro changes the uollona of peoplo. It may lie thut innate selfishness, which prompts all to gloat over those leas happily'situated in life, or it may be tlie re cognition of tho possibility that negroes are better off under direction and guidance than when left to their own self management. 1 don't preteud to decide—but ft ia certain that Hailicaliam (abolitionism that was) don't flourish in Ibis atmosphere. It isn't so much that il is unpopular, either, for there are plenty who are defiant enough of th* general current of political sentiment prevailing here—but actual experience ol tbe negro character seems to lake from Radicalism its vary base and support. 1 have met but lew Northern people who have lived here fer a year that ore mil pretty well reconciled to the theory that tho negro is of a type lower than the while, aud that, ou tbe whole, there >■»« bean quite aa much oulpouriug ot philan thropy over bun as hia case will wairani Thb Evacuation or Mexico bx the French — Mr. Bigelow** reply to Mr. Seward’s cypher dispatch was received ou the 7th iust. at Washington, anil thia is tha whole of it nearly: In OUBWer to a verbal communication, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, M.

Large number* of wounded officers of Escobedo's army arrived at Brownsville. Canales and Escobedo had met and embraced i other in presence of Gen. Sedgewlck. Fears of attack upon the United Stateefforce, while in occupation of Matiunorag, had lad to extensive preparations for their defence on the Brownsville aide of the river, from whence the entire United States military lores would have crossed had it bean ntoee- •ary.

Dr. Magoiez. is the founder of a new Medical Sys tern t Thwqnantitariaus, whose vast internal doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give precedence to the man who restores health and appetite, with bam one to two ol his extraordinaiy Fllli, and cure* the most virulent sores with a box ot bo of hk wonderful and all-healing Salve. These two great specifics of tbe Doctor are fast supersed ing ell the stereotyped nostrum* of tbe day. Extra ordinary cures by Magglel’s Pills and Salve have lad theeyaaof the public to the inefficiency of the-ko-calladj re media* of others, and npon which people have so long blindly depended. Magglel's Pills are not of the class that are swallowed by the dozen, and of which*every box full taken create* an absolute necessity for another. One or two of Mag- glel'a Pills suffices to place the bowels in perfect or, der, tone the stomach, create an appetite, aud ren der th* aplrihi light and buoyant. Thar* ia no griping, and no reaction in the form of constipation. If th* liver is affected, its functions are restored; and of tbe nervous system is feeble, it is invigorated. This lari quality makes the medicines very desirable for the wants or delicate females. Ulcerous and eruptive diseases are literally extin guished by the disinfectant power of Mapgiet 'a Salve. In ffml, it k hen announced that MASGtEL'3 BILIOUS DYSPEPTIC AND DIAR RHOEA PILLS ' cur* where all nil others fail. While for Barns, Ik.aids, Cuts and ail abrasions of ike akin MAGOIRL’S SALVE is Infallible. Bold by J. MaGGIBL. 11 Pins street, New Y ork.
